The Stepping Stone Hop

I trotted out past the courtyard gate and bounded straight toward a zigzag line of flat stepping stones crossing the dewy lawn! I planted both of my soft feet firmly on the first cool slab, squishing down to test my balance, and took an eager hop to the next one! Wobble, bounce, stick the landing! On the third stone, a smooth, glossy brown acorn was teetering right near the edge. I leaned forward and gently rolled it into a tiny mossy groove in the center so it wouldn't tumble off into the wet grass, then made one last giant leap to the sunny gravel path!
