A Silver Sparkle

A tiny gleam caught my eye... just past the edge of the cushion. I crept forward, one slow step at a time, until my toes reached the wooden edge. There on a white saucer lay a small, smooth spoon. It shone like cold water. I paused... then leaned down and tapped the round curve with my paw. *Tink.* A sweet, quiet bell sound. In the bright silver bowl, a round green face was looking back at me, blinking softly in the lamp glow.
