The Rolling Cardboard Tunnel

A smooth brown cardboard tube lay resting against the base of the recycling bin, smelling faintly of toasted oats! I bounded forward and gave it a solid shove with my front paws—whirr-clack! It rolled fast across the slick white tiles, heading straight for the refrigerator kickplate. I scrambled after it, skidding slightly, and planted my paws squarely on the rolling cylinder to stop its flight. When I peeked through the hollow hole, the whole kitchen looked like a bright round spotlight on the other side!
