Chasing the Acorn Beat

That giant dry leaf was resting by the railing, but something else rolled right past my toes! A shiny, plump brown acorn with a bumpy little wooden hat! I didn't think twice—I lunged forward and kicked it with my plush heel! CLACK! It went zooming along the smooth concrete curb like a tiny bowling ball! I chased after it at top speed, paws pumping fast, until it hopped over the curb and took a nosedive straight into the loose dark dirt! I scrambled down, grabbed its rough little cap with both paws, and yanked it free. Found my brand new rock percussion shaker!
