The Wire Harp

Scrambling out from between the rubber boots, I dashed toward a towering white zigzag standing by the sunlit window! A giant folding clothes rack! I threw both arms wide, clamped onto the lowest bar, and hoisted myself straight up through the crossbars. Right at the top, a whole ladder of thin steel wires stretched tight across the light! I reached out and gave the middle wire one sharp, springy pluck—TWANG! A bright, humming ring buzzed right through the metal frame! Did you hear that note?! I dragged my paws across the whole row—ting, tang, tong! A private mechanical harp humming in the warm light!
