The Rolling Canister

I sprinted right past the kitchen door and skidded straight into the cool pantry! Resting near the bottom shelf was a tall, smooth metal tea tin lying on its side like a shiny log. Naturally, I couldn't resist a log run! With a mighty bound, I leaped onto the curved tin. It instantly shot forward with a clattering roll! My oversized sneakers pedaled furiously on the slick metal surface, windmilling my arms to stay upright. Clunk! The tin bumped into a box of oatmeal, wedging securely and flinging me forward in a silly tumble, but I popped up on my knees grinning wide!
