A Button Waltz

I hopped down from the low wooden shelf straight onto the plush living room rug, and my toe bumped into a shallow tin lid filled with colorful spare buttons! Without hesitating, I picked out a smooth pearly button almost the size of a saucer to me. Tapping it upright with both hands, I gave it a gentle push across the woven threads. It rolled on its edge in a wobbly, glittering arc before toppling softly into the carpet fibers, and I bounced on my heels in sheer delight at its little acrobatics!
