Brick Beam Balancing

I waddled straight past the porch steps and found the ultimate challenge—the scalloped red brick border along the flowerbed! A giant balance beam! Up I scrambled, planting both feet on the very first curve. Arms out! Horns tilted! One careful step forward... then another! Wobble, wobble—whoa! A patch of slick morning moss sent my left foot skidding! But did I tumble into the damp mulch? No way! I threw my weight back, gave an energetic little hip-shake, and stuck the landing squarely on the crest of the next brick. Four whole bricks conquered without a fall!
