A dusty woven rug in the attic suddenly twitched and floated off the floorboards. It unrolled entirely with a loud snap! Startled, Hua Hua barked and leaped directly onto the hovering fringe.
The woven threads tilted upward toward the open window, letting in the fresh smell of morning dew. He planted his paws firmly and let out a joyful, echoing howl.
Whoosh! The carpet shot right out the window and zoomed high into the sky. Silent, gray rooftops quickly rushed past far below his tail.
Golden sunlight suddenly spilled across the waking horizon. All the dark, heavy clouds instantly transformed into bright, fluffy mountains. A cold dawn breeze playfully ruffled through his fur.
A tiny blue bird swooped past the flying rug with a loud, frantic chirp. He eagerly ran toward the very front edge to chase it.
The sharp shift in weight made the carpet dive into a thrilling drop. He flattened his ears against the rushing wind, happily letting his pink tongue loll out.
The fast little bird darted straight into a thick, wet cloud. Not wanting to lose sight of his new playmate, he steered the carpet right in after it.
Glowing, golden mist instantly wrapped completely around the eager rider. The damp, cool air sparkled with tiny water droplets catching the hidden sunlight.
A sudden, massive updraft caught the magical rug! It flipped into a wild loop-de-loop, scattering a shower of water droplets everywhere. Gripping the damp threads tightly, he gave a loud, wild bark.
A sharp sniff suddenly interrupted the wild flight. The heavy, savory scent of sizzling bacon drifted up from the town, giving him a wonderful idea for breakfast.
He gently steered the magical ride back through the attic window. It dropped perfectly flat onto the dusty floorboards, looking just like a normal rug once again.
"Breakfast is ready!" an inviting voice called from the kitchen. He quickly trotted down the wooden stairs, leaving a quiet trail of wet paw prints behind him.
