A Shiny Porcelain Bell

I waddled out from beneath the tea towel and followed a bright ray of morning light across the kitchen counter! Resting right beside a white porcelain teapot was an upturned ceramic eggcup. I inched closer on my tummy to observe its glossy glaze. With both of my stubby arms, I rolled a small round dried chickpea across the timber until it clicked inside the hollow bowl. Then, giving the base a polite nudge with my side, the cup wobbled on its stem! The chickpea swirled round and round within, making a cheerful, bright ringing chime against the smooth china. I gave a happy hop and sat down to listen!
