Rolling the Swirly Ball

I trotted right back through the apartment door, carrying my newly rescued bouncy ball! Down by the entryway, the smooth wooden floor met the edge of the woven welcome mat, making a neat little launch ramp. I nudged the yellow rubber ball with the toe of my shoe, giving it a gentle push across the floorboards. It rolled in smooth, lazy loops, swirling blue stripes all over the polished grain before bumping to a quiet stop against the shoe rack. Now my hallway treasure has its very own corner right next to my little red skateboard!
