A Crackle in the Cord

I trotted over to the tall wicker basket to check out a twisty thick cord trailing along the floor! It was a striped knit throw blanket, all coiled up like a big soft spiral! I wedged my blue plush toes right into the deep ridged fold and gave a mighty wiggle. Crinkle, scritch! A shiny sheet of glossy patterned wrapping paper was tucked deep between the woolly layers! Every time I rocked my body side to side, the stiff paper crackled with a zippy, papery crunch. I leaned in with my belly and stomped out a crunchy dance beat, rustling the tucked paper until it puffed up like a tiny accordion fan!
