Countertop Prize
My stomach roared loud enough to shake my ribs, so I slid down the balcony pipe and dashed back inside! The kitchen smelled way too good to ignore. I sprang onto the wooden rung of a tall stool and hauled myself onto the wide stone counter. Right there was a massive wooden bowl loaded with fruit! I threw my arms around a heavy yellow banana, braced my sandals against the rim of the bowl, and pulled with everything I had. Pop! It snapped right out of the bunch, sending me tumbling back onto the cool countertop clutching my giant prize!
