A Ring of Little Bells

I hopped down the bottom stone step and took my very first confident trot along the concrete sidewalk. Right beside a parked bicycle, a bright pink woven keychain with two tiny brass jingle bells had slipped down near the curb. I nudged the charm with one curious front paw, making it chime with a clear, cheerful tinkle. Delighted by the melody, I picked up the smooth lanyard between my front paws and gave it an energetic shake. The bells rang out in sweet rhythm as I proudly strutted in a small circle, swishing my tail to the music.
