The Hollow Coconut Shell

My paws were still dusty from the garden mulch outside, so I scampered straight inside through the patio door! Near the corner of the rug sat a polished, hollow half-coconut shell used as a catch-all bowl. I trotted over and tapped its smooth outer rim—*thump*! It rocked back and forth with a deep, wooden hum. Remembering my tumble earlier, I carefully peered inside and spotted a tiny silver paperclip resting on the curved bottom. I leaned way over the edge, scooped the shiny clip up with both paws, and dropped it back in to hear the sharp *clink* echo inside the wooden cup!
