The Golden Pull-Chain

Night shadows crept low, and a shiny brass bead was dangling right above my nose! Ih! A tiny golden ball hanging on a thin linked chain right under the floor lamp shade. I scrambled up the heavy cast-iron base, reached high with both front paws, and snatched the lowest bead. Clink-tug! With a sharp guttural grunt, I hung my whole weight straight down. CLICK-SNICK! A sudden warm amber sun flared above my ears, splashing bright gold across the wooden floorboards! The chain bounced back up, buzzing against my paws. Hah! Captured the light with one mighty swing!
