A Little Wooden Button

I noticed a faint round gleam tucked right between the wooden foot of the sofa and the floor rug. Walking over quietly, I knelt down to peek underneath. It was a smooth, four-holed wooden button resting on its side. I nudged it out gently with both hands. It rolled a short half-turn and settled flat. Seeing two stray thread fibers sticking out of one hole, I smoothed them down carefully with my thumb so it looks tidy.
