The Slippery Obstacle Course

I charged straight down the hallway at full throttle, determined to conquer the open floor! Out of nowhere, an abandoned plastic clothes hanger ambushed my path. My giant flipper caught the curved hook—skid, slide, whoosh! The slick plastic took off across the hardwood like a runaway sled. Did I surrender? Never! I clenched my fists, planted my heels into the plastic groove, and rode the treacherous hanger like a surfboard until we crashed headfirst into the thick pile of the braided runner rug. Skidded to an abrupt halt, puffed out my feathers, and held my warrior stance without a single wobble!
