The Golden Coin Pop
I scrambled straight from the top of the shoe rack onto the glossy hall table and ran headfirst into a heavy ceramic tray! Inside, there was a shiny metal disc with an open, notched jaw resting on top of a red glass bottle. I didn't hesitate—I grabbed the long steel handle with both hands, jammed the tooth under the fluted metal bottle cap, and threw my whole weight downward with a wild yell! Clink-pop! The bottle cap rocketed up like a coin, bouncing off the wall, and sweet, fizzy air shot right into my face. That lid never stood a chance!
