The Golden Umbrella Stand
Scrambling off the scratchy doormat, my eyes locked right onto a tall, gleaming metal cylinder tucked in the corner! An umbrella stand! I stretched my long arms up, hooked my yellow paws over the smooth brass rim, and peeked straight down inside. Tap-tap! I swung my long orange arm deep into the dark hollow and flicked the curved wooden handle of a black umbrella! Clack-rattle-thud! The handle knocked against the brass walls, sending a rich, bell-like gong humming through the tall metal tube! Did you hear that chime?! I held on tight and tipped the rim forward to listen to the vibration buzz right through my fuzzy palms!
