The Nighttime Music Box Ceremony

I slipped back inside from the cool porch and padded straight over to the wooden side table by the armchair. Nestled right beside a stack of old magazines sat a tiny brass wind-up music box! I gripped the little turn-key between both plush paws, gave it a fierce twist with all my strength, and let go. The chime began tinkling a sweet, gentle melody right into the dim room! I pulled up a folded knitted coaster, wrapped it snugly around my shoulders like an official victory cape, and sat leaning against the polished wood, listening intently. It was the grandest bedtime tune for an epic outdoor explorer!
