SOUR BERRY!

I had to get out of that kitchen before I went completely stir-crazy! I squeezed right through the open patio sliding screen and scrambled down into the backyard. In the grass beneath the deck steps, I spotted a cluster of tiny, bright purple berries resting on a broad green leaf. My sweet tooth screamed victory! I dove right into the clover, shoved my whole snout forward, and took a giant bite out of one. Ugh! Straight buggin! It wasn't sweet at all—it was sour, tart, and made my entire mouth pucker! I shook my head wildly, spat the crushed skin straight onto the dirt, and barked at the leaf.
