A Bouncy Wooden Tongs Seesaw

I wiggled out of the stacked wicker chairs and trotted straight inside past the open café door! Resting low on the smooth glass edge of the pastry counter was a pair of lightweight wooden bakery tongs, sprung open with a thin metal coil. Heh, what a perfect springy toy! I threw my round weight right between the two wooden paddles and gave a bouncy stomp. Squeeze, snap! The tongs pinched together and catapulted a stray dried sugar cube right into an empty ceramic espresso cup nearby. Clink! The little cup rang like a morning bell, making me chuckle with glee!
