A Crunchy Morning Hat

I squeezed out of the cozy slipper and marched across the cool floor until I found the patio door open just a crack. Stepping outside onto the sunny wooden deck smelled completely different from indoors! Right by my feet lay a big, crunchy orange leaf that had drifted down from a tree. It looked like the perfect hurdle for a morning stunt. I squatted on my long black legs, gave a mighty push, and launched into the air. But my tail swung too far left, and I wobbled right into a spin. I landed flat on the warm planks, with the leaf tumbling down to cover my yellow head like a giant crispy hat!
