A Rolling Discovery

A tiny wooden spool came rolling right past my feet and bumped against the leg of the armchair! I hopped after it, tilting my head to see where it stopped. Without any arms to pick it up, I used the side of my foot to nudge it back and forth across the thick rug. Each time it bumped the dark wooden chair leg, it gave a tiny, cheerful *clack*. I gently rolled it into a snug hollow between two soft tassels, and now it stays right there beside me, resting quiet and still for the night.
