Conquering the Red Tower

I wasn't about to spend another morning trapped inside when the whole street was waiting! I slipped right past the front gate, sprinted down the sidewalk paving, and locked my sights on the ultimate curbside challenge: a giant red fire hydrant looming like a cast-iron fortress. I jumped, dug my sandals into the flanged metal rim at the base, and locked both arms around the heavy hexagonal side bolt. With one massive heave and a fierce grunt, I hoisted my knees over the cold metal ridge and scrambled straight onto the rounded dome top! Standing tall above the pavement with the street stretching out below, I threw my fists high in the air and roared with triumph!
