The Brick Ridge Challenge

Staying inside all morning was quite enough, so I marched straight out the door into the garden! Right along the flowerbed ran a tidy row of red bricks tilted like miniature pyramids. A magnificent balance beam! I stepped right onto the sharp ridge of the first brick, stretched both arms wide, and took three proud, measured strides. On the fourth brick, my shoe brushed a crumbly clump of dried moss and down I tumbled into the soft woodchips. A very minor detour! I dusted off my knees, climbed right back up, and marched all the way to the end without another wobble. I let out a triumphant giggle at the finish line!
