The Golden Leaf Cushion

I trotted straight toward the red brick wall where the wind had swept together the biggest, crispiest mountain of golden leaves! It looked like the ultimate bouncy cushion built just for an agile pup. I crouched low on my front elbows, gave my tail two quick wiggles to build up speed, and launched into a giant, goofy leap! *Crush-crunch!* I landed belly-first right in the fluffy center, completely burying myself under a shower of dry oak and maple leaves. When I popped my head back out into the morning air with a proud little sneeze, a giant dry leaf had stuck right across my forehead like an official champion visor!
