A Giant Lace Mountain

I trotted over to the front entrance where the big wooden door stood. Right beside it rested a pair of huge canvas sneakers, towering like canvas hills! A bright neon-yellow shoelace dangled all the way down to the floor mat. I grabbed the smooth, braided string with both hands and gave it a curious tug. The plastic aglet tapped softly against the rubber toe cap. It would make an amazing climbing rope for an outdoor expedition!
