A Shiny Speckled Pebble

I took my first clumsy steps across the garden path! The tiny gray pebbles rolled under my soft feet, making quiet clicking sounds. Right by the mossy edge, something caught the morning sun. A smooth, speckled pebble, striped with gray and white! I crouched down and used both hands to nudge it. It felt cool and heavy. I pushed it into a sunny patch of soil, saving it for later.
