## The story

The Floaty Manta Blimp glided through living rooms, flapping its wide wings like it was swimming through air. Kids steered it into the kitchen to startle parents and into bedrooms to startle siblings. It drifted off course constantly. When the helium ran out, it sank slowly onto the couch like it was taking a nap.

## Fun fact

Cats were the manta's biggest fans and its most dangerous enemies, often in the same afternoon.
