The Stretchy Net Trap

I scrambled up the open drawer handle and leaped straight onto the tall kitchen counter! Right next to a giant green apple sat a bright red mesh foam sleeve—a tiny woven net tube! Could I wear it? I didn't think twice. I ducked low and charged my bill right through the opening! Whoosh! The elastic criss-cross webbing snapped tight over my shoulders, squishing down my knitted sides. Did I panic? Never! I puffed my chest out wide to stretch the mesh, planted both orange flippers against the wooden fruit bowl, and gave a tremendous wiggle until the red honeycombed sleeve popped right down around my ruffle like a second belt!
