A Crisp Line on the Brick
Out from behind the storage chest I bounded, ready for morning rounds! Down on the brick steps, someone had dropped a fat box of colored chalk sticks. Three chunky pieces had rolled onto the gritty red clay: one red, one yellow, and one bright blue! Blue like me! I lunged forward, nudged the blue stick with both paws, but it rolled crooked into a dip. Challenge time! I backed up, squared my stance, and dragged the blunt chalk edge firmly along the straight edge of a brick. Skrrrtch! A thick, vibrant blue stripe appeared right on the red clay! My tail gave a triumphant thump as I admired my clean, bold line. #Alphablocks
