First Spring Hop

Click! Boing! My spring squeezed down tight, and pop—I jumped! Up off the smooth wood planks into the air! My bucket arm swung forward, tapping right against the stiff fold of the white paper roll behind me. Tap-tap! It made a soft rustling thud. I can move, I can bounce! Down I landed with a tiny wobble, upright on my yellow base, spring still vibrating like crazy!
