A Ringing Silver Circle

Skitter-step, clack! My feet found the slick wooden floor, and—ooh!—something caught the morning light and shot a spark straight toward me! A shiny round silver lid was lying flat near the dresser corner. I leaned right over on my toes and tapped my beak down into the center! *DING!* A crisp, singing hum buzzed straight through my beak and made my whole tummy tickle! I hopped in a rapid little circle, shook out my fluff, and pecked it once more—*tink-dong!* It’s a tiny silver drum that rings right back at me!
