A Snug Clay Hat

I leaned all my weight against the overturned terracotta pot to roll it again, but my back paw slipped on a slick patch of damp mulch! Whoosh—I tumbled backward and plunked right down into a shallow hollow! Before I could hop up, the hollow rim of the clay pot tilted on a twig, wobbled sideways, and scooped right over my head like a heavy round helmet! Everything went dark and smelled like damp earth! I wiggled my ears against the cool, rough terracotta walls and pushed upward with both stubby paws until—pop! My head burst straight back into the bright light, leaving the pot rocking gently on the dark garden mulch!
