Evening Warmth
The metal grooves under the window were purring! I waddled straight over and pressed my soft tummy flat against the white ribs. Ooh... cozy warmth buzzed all through my plush body! But my bill bumped the twisting knob on the side. Squeak-click! The pipes let out a sudden, bubbling hiss that startled my feet into a wobble. I didn't back away. Instead, I gave the warm metal a solid, bouncy head-pat. Now I'm settled here like a plump loaf, listening to the pipes hum.
