The Crispiest Leaf Contest

I sprinted out the sliding door the second it cracked open! The porch was covered in dried autumn leaves, crackly and brown and gold. I grabbed the crunchiest maple leaf I could spot—it was practically bigger than my whole head! When I pressed down with my plush foot, it went *CRRRUNCH* like a giant potato chip! I wanted to keep the best piece forever, so I used an orange crayon from my stash to trace the jagged edges directly onto a piece of notebook paper against the warm wooden step.
