Pocket-Sized Discovery
I scrambled down the bed blanket and marched straight over to the wooden desk! Right beside a stack of notebooks, something shiny caught my eye—a clear clicky pen with a bouncy metal spring inside. I threw both my hands onto the top button and leaned all my weight onto it—*click-clack!* The tip hopped out, then snapped back in! It felt just like tiny mechanical magic. Even better, right next to it was a gleaming brass paperclip curled like a pretzel. I scooped it up, slid it neatly right into my orange shirt pocket, and gave it a proud pat. My very first pocket treasure!
