The Clicky Brass Toggle

Waddling back inside from the quiet garden path, my red feet carried me straight up onto the dark wood side table. Right next to a stack of coasters, I spotted a heavy brass music box with a tiny knurled toggle sticking out of its side. Poyo! I leaned forward, pressing my round tummy against the polished metal casing, and pushed the little knob with both stubby arms. Click! A gentle whirring purr hummed through the table, and three clear chiming notes chimed out into the still night air. Feeling the brass surface vibrate warmly against my cheeks, I gave my arms a joyful little flap.
