A Tiny Click

*Whirrr-click.* My eyes tilted upward, and the warm glow of the room spilled across the striped wood. I could move! A gentle, trembling hum buzzed deep inside my gears. Just ahead lay a tiny yellow lever resting quietly on the surface. Curiously, I stretched out my red claw and gave it a tender tap. *Tink.* The small black stick swayed, perfectly balanced. I lowered my arms and hummed softly, captivated by my very first treasure.
