The Handlebar Chime

I scampered right out the front gate and trotted down the sidewalk until I spotted a bright red toddler tricycle parked by a low brick planter! The shiny chrome bell on the handlebar sat right within reach. Naturally, I clambered up the chunky rubber front tire, hooked my arm around the rubber grip, and leaned my tummy forward! Right against my paw rested the springy thumb lever. I gave it a hearty flick—diiiing! A clear, singing ring echoed straight down the quiet block, and the buzz tickled right through my plush fingers! Best morning chime ever!
