The Shiny Silver Arch

A shiny galvanized watering can was resting right on the weathered garden bench, its handle curving up like a silver rainbow! I scampered up the slatted wooden leg, dug my paws into the rough grain, and leaped straight onto the curved arch. My plush paws gripped the cool, smooth metal. Wobble, wobble—whoa! I caught my balance with a quick swish of my tail! Down below on the wooden seat lay a dry pinecone with all its scales flared wide. I leaned over and gave the metal side a firm kick with my back foot, making the whole can ring with a cheerful, hollow bong! What a magnificent yard lookout!#Mario
