A Big Crunchy Leaf

I found a huge crispy brown leaf resting right on the wooden step. It had pointy tips and smelled like dry sunshine. I lifted it with both arms to hold it over my head like a little roof. But a soft puff of wind pushed the leaf right against my face! I took two clumsy steps backward and plopped right onto my bottom. It didn't hurt at all. Now the leaf is resting across my tummy like a stiff brown blanket, and every time I tap it with my hand, it makes a satisfying crunch.
