Fast Bounce on the Green
The kitchen was fun, but outside called! I trotted down the street and slipped through the wire mesh gate of an empty tennis court. Wide green asphalt stretching all the way to the fenceāpure open runway! Right by the baseline, a fuzzy bright neon tennis ball lay resting near a dropped metal ball clip. Instant impulse! I took a five-yard run-up, planted my red shoes, and slammed my yellow ring against the felt curve. Boing! The ball sprang high into the air, while I bounced right off the rebound and slid into a smooth stop on the painted white court line.
