Shiny Marble Leap

Hop, bound, zoom! I scurried past the doormat all the way down the tiled hall to the bright lobby! Sitting in the corner was a giant ceramic planter holding a tall, leafy ficus tree. Right on top of the dark potting soil sat a cluster of smooth, giant white marbles! Poyo! I took a mighty running leap, landed smack on a round polished stone, and wobbled! Squeak! The white marble rolled under my feet, tipping me belly-first into a soft bed of dry brown bark chips. I pushed up, shaking off little flecks of bark, and tapped the shiny white sphere with both stumpy hands. It spun in place with a soft clack, perfectly smooth and cool!
