A Giant Leap

I spotted a tall wooden leg resting nearby and walked right over. The base had a thick stack of colorful magazines tucked beside it. I caught my breath, gripped the glossy edge of the top magazine with both hands, and hoisted myself up. My pink shoes found a tiny groove in the page, and up I went! From this ledge, the whole rug spread out below like a wide fuzzy field. I tapped the wood gently to celebrate.
