Out on the Porch

A cool breeze slipped right through the gap under the front screen door! I wriggled through the narrow opening and stepped straight onto the sunlit concrete porch. The outside smells entirely fresh! Right near the woven mat, a round brown acorn was sitting quietly. I trotted over and tapped it hard with my snout—click! It wobbled forward, caught speed, and spun down the top step with a sharp clatter. Out here, everything rolls even faster!
