Hallway Chariot

Past the welcome mat, the long carpeted corridor stretched out like a grand avenue! I bounced forward until I bumped into a discarded cardboard parcel box resting flat on its side against the baseboard. What a marvelous stage! With a bouncy push of my round body, I hopped right over the folded cardboard flap and landed squarely in the center. Inside lay a loose bundle of crackly brown kraft paper. I nudged against it with my plush taco side, shaping the folds into a cozy, crinkly throne. A warm vent breeze fluttered the paper edges—now this is traveling in pure festival style!
