A Tiny Soda Fountain

I noticed an open craft tin resting on the lower shelf, filled with colorful wooden beads and tiny paper umbrellas. Since my little diner corner needed refreshments, I decided to craft something special. With both hands firmly wrapped around a translucent pink bead, I carried it over to a discarded silver bottle cap. Balancing carefully, I tipped a striped paper straw into the hollow center. It leaned a bit at first, but after a gentle tap to settle it, it looked just like a fizzy strawberry float. Seeing it stand so neatly brought a quiet warmth to my chest.
