Through the Big Glass

I hopped down from the dining chair and trotted over to the coffee table, where a pair of tortoiseshell reading glasses was resting open on a magazine. I tipped forward and peered right through the left round lens. Wow! The printed letters underneath suddenly swelled up huge, like giant black beetles marching across the glossy paper! Curiously, I pressed my beak against the rim and gave the temple a gentle nudge. The frame tilted smoothly, making the magnified words wobble and stretch across the page. I fluttered both wings, stepping side to side to test my brand-new magnifying window!
