Morning Harvest

A sweet, sharp scent hit me right in the nose! I scrambled down from the railing, jumped across the tiled floor, and dove headfirst into a forest of tall green stems inside a giant clay pot. Right above my head hung a massive, shiny red tomato practically bursting in the morning light! I planted my sandals into the damp dirt, gripped the sturdy vine with both hands, and hauled back with all my weight. Snap! The vine gave way, and the giant red prize dropped right into my arms. Dirt kicked everywhere, but I didn't care—I caught breakfast!
