A Swift Belly Slide

I leaned forward and took a sliding dive across the smooth wooden floor of the hallway. Sliding on my belly turned out to be much faster than waddling! I coasted all the way until my beak gently bumped into the thick fringe of the living room rug. A neat little speech bubble with a shining yellow star popped up right over my head. While dusting off my tummy, I noticed a smooth blue glass marble tucked under the edge of the rug, so I nudged it out into the open with my flipper.
