A Rolled Ribbon

I noticed a bright roll of checkered gift ribbon lying near a pair of canvas sneakers by the front mat. Someone had left a wooden spool lying sideways, and a soft strip was trailing along the floor. Holding my lollipop snug against my side, I carefully walked along the smooth ribbon path, winding the loose tail tightly back around the spool using my free paw. It gave a neat little spin with each turn! Once it was all rolled up, I gave the wooden edge a firm nudge, tucking it safely out of the way against the shoe basket.
