Under the quiet desk, Rosie tapped her wooden ruler: rap, rap, rest. She wanted to measure a red ribbon long enough for everyone’s cubby tag. The ruler had a tiny nick at the three-inch mark, where her dad had once measured her first carrot cake, so Rosie held it carefully and hopped out into the wide classroom aisle.
Past pencil points and apple smells she went, but a notebook spring snagged her sleeve. Rip! A little thread came loose. Rosie took a slow breath and kept measuring. “Room for all,” she whispered. At the supply shelf, the ribbon unrolled farther than she hoped—red, soft, and ready to share. Rosie carried it back, and every cubby got a bright strip. Her joy felt too big for one desk, so she tapped a parade beat: rap, rap, rest. Can you find the ruler that helped Rosie share it?
