Bouncing the Green Marble

I pushed through the screen door latch and sprinted out to the gravel path! Tucked right beside a flowerpot was a heavy, glass swirl marble with a bright green twist inside. I grabbed it with both hands, took three giant steps back, and whipped it straight down onto a flat paving stone! It bounced up with a crisp clink, soared higher than my head, and landed squarely inside a clean tin can with a ringing rattle. I threw both fists into the air and let out a huge whoop!
