Hum-Hum Whir

Whirrrrr! A low rumble buzzed through the floorboards. Ih! My ears twitched toward the metallic beast sitting near the corner. I scrambled low on belly and crept up close. Inside its round metal cage, dark fins were spinning so fast they turned into misty air! Pffft—cold wind smacked my nose! I reached forward with one claw to prod the gleaming base. Click! A fat red dial turned under my paw. The whir stopped instantly, spinning fins slowing down until they froze in place. Hah! I poked the beast into a nap!
