A Little Nudge

Everything was quite still until my round body gave a subtle tilt. The carpet beneath felt slightly uneven, though entirely acceptable. I gave my beak a gentle test tap against the rough woven floor, confirming I could indeed move. Ahead lay a soft pink plastic hoop resting by itself. Waddling forward a single short step, I nudged the pink ring with my bill. It slid across the carpet with a satisfying little rustle, coming to a halt just where it belonged. Quite tidy, really.
