The Red Leaf Sled

Pitter-patter, tap-tap! My feet hit the smooth garden stones, and right away I spotted a crispy red maple leaf dancing in circles! I gave a little hop to catch it, but whoosh—the leaf spun around, and I tripped right over my own toes! Down I went, landing flat on my tummy right on top of the crunchy leaf. But wait! The slate tiles were silky slick, and suddenly we were gliding together like a runaway sled! Wheee! I skidded all the way to a stop against the cool stone border with a happy bounce and a giggle. Best wild ride ever!
