Sweeties in the snow

The toboggan slid faster than a popping weasel. The icy wind whistled through Duncan's whiskers, and the chill numbed his paws, ear tips, and nose. What a thrill!
Unbeknownst to our speeding mouse, the contents of a large confectionery jar he was supposed to deliver had flittered out across the sparkling snow, leaving a delicious trail of Ruby-coloured, cherry-flavoured boiled sweets that now decorate the slope. They are too pretty not to be noticed and far too tempting not to be eaten once found. They will be an unexpected, scarlet treat for someone. Since he found the sledge life had pretty much been down-hill, but in a good way!
