A Hollow Click

A shiny red plastic measuring spoon was lying right on the low threshold board! I trotted over and tapped the round bowl with my foot. Clack! It made such a crisp, snappy ring against the hardwood! I tried tapping faster—clack, clack, tap! It rocked back and forth like a tiny see-saw before spinning on its curved belly. Each spin made a bouncy rattle that hummed right into my toes. What an upbeat little rhythm!
