Larry landed gently in the gutter of what seemed to be a quiet street. After a little while, he heard the sound of running water, and noticed a man washing his car a few houses away. The water began to stream down the gutter towards him, swishing him up and carrying him down the street. The water was foamy and tasted weird.

Eventually, the water stopped flowing and Larry found himself stranded in the gutter again. Over the next few days, some leaves began to fall and gather around him. Each time a car went past, Larry moved a little in the breeze.
