Ernie makes a house with cards

I found a red deck of playing cards scattered across the living room rug, slick and glossy like little paper tiles! Well, he-he, an ambitious architect had to test their structural integrity. I picked up the King of Hearts and leaned him gently against the Queen of Spades—tip to tip, forming a tidy triangle roof. Wobble, wobble... steady! They held! Chuckling softly under my breath so I wouldn't blow them down, I gingerly laid a third card flat across the peak to create a breezy little balcony. One tiny puff of air from my nose made the whole palace flutter, but it didn't collapse. A prime shelter for a plush tenant!
