My living thing is the pinecone. It was high on the tree, and then the wind blew it down. So now I sit here waiting for someone or something to move me again. I don’t have a mouth, so I can’t say anything or make a sound. If I had a mouth, it would probably say, “Hey, I’m here, and I’m amazing. Just watch me and discover the mysteries of me. I am a pinecone.”
