The Ambitious Toe, Part Un

One day, the littlest toe on a foot belonging to a twentysomething decided to discover the world. Item number one on its "Discover the World" list was to see if its strength was greater than that of a leg of a chair. It wanted to prove that it was just as big and strong as the other toes, especially the biggest toe.

Tense seconds passed. It was coming closer. As the slipper zipped pass the said leg, the toe gathered all its strength and lunged at it like a fierce lion. Raaaaaaaaaaawr!
