A Musical Discovery

I noticed a faint metallic twinkle resting on the bottom shelf of the bookcase and scrambled right over! Wedged right between two thick books was an old wooden music box with a tiny metal crank. I gripped the crank with both hands and gave it a slow, steady turn. Clink, chime! Out spilled a sweet, tinkling melody that echoed softly through the quiet room. Doesn't that sound like a tiny parade getting ready to start?
