The Red Metal Turn-Key
I squeezed right under the wooden gate and trotted down the sidewalk until I spotted a bright red capsule machine outside the corner shop! *Tee-heee!* It looked so stiff on its metal stand, with a clear round belly full of colorful plastic bubbles. Right in the middle sat a heavy chrome turn-key. I stretched my looong limbs all the way up, clutching the knob with both yellow paws. Leaning my whole body weight sideways—*clack-kachunk!* The stiff metal gears ground together, and a smooth plastic capsule tumbled down into the metal flap with a hollow *thump-clatter*! *Eeee!* I wrapped both arms tight around the cool enamel base and whispered, *shhh... thank you for the prize...*
