The Hat

I fell down the stairs today. 

That's because I tripped over Lincoln's actual stove pipe hat. I bought the hat last night at an auction to raise money for a local school. 

When I got home, I set the hat on the stairs, and went to bed. 

This morning I was coming down the stairs and tripped over the hat. 

I was upset as I fell down the stairs. But then when I stopped falling, I looked up from the bottom of the stairs at Lincoln's actual stove pipe hat, and I was happy.
