A Doorway Squeeze

I set my sights straight for the big open hallway, giving myself a hefty rocking shove across the polished floor! But halfway across the threshold, a stray canvas sneaker caught my round belly and brought me to a sudden, gentle stop. Right next to my snout, the woven shoelace was dangling loose, swaying in the hallway breeze like a curious tail. I gave it a playful headbutt, and the plastic aglet clacked against the hardwood with the neatest little click! We had a wonderful rhythm going until the lace finally draped over my crest like a victory ribbon.
