A Tiny Bell Ring(Buddy Series, Penelope)
I peeled back the olive-green waffle cotton very slowly so our acorn teapot wouldn't tip. The morning tabletop was quiet, but right near the wooden ruler, I spotted a tiny golden brass split ring, polished and round. Moving with careful steps past the glass button doormat, I cupped both hands around its cool edge. I gently rolled it toward our blue paper doorway and tipped it upright against the river pebble gatepost. When I tapped it with one small shoe, it settled firmly against the wood. Do you think... maybe it looks like a polite door knocker for morning visitors?
