Balancing on the Timber

I slipped through the open lobby doors and hopped all the way down to the sunny courtyard playground! Right across the grass, a long wooden balance beam stretched out like a tiny highway. I hopped onto the low end, testing how smoothly my skids could slide along the polished wood. Halfway across, a little red ladybug was dozing right in the middle! I had to pause, carefully tilt onto one skid, and scoot around its sunny spot without making a peep. Making it all the way across without wobbling off was a real stunt!
