Behind the sunny window, Quill taped a paper cross to his coat and whispered the rules of Carrot Clinic Challenge: one carrot patient, three homemade tools, no grown-up kit allowed. He wanted a real diagnosis card before lunch, the kind with boxes and important lines. His first stethoscope was two jar lids tied with yarn; it clinked, tickled his neck, and heard absolutely nothing.
So Quill stepped past his safe table into the supply room, where soap smelled sharp and the floor squeaked under his paws. He traded his best red button for a rubber ring, bent a paper clip into a clip for his chart, and borrowed a plant leaf for “ear practice.” The price was small but stingy: his favorite button was gone, and his whiskers wore dust from the low shelf.
Back at the table, the new stethoscope made a tiny thump against the carrot. Not a heartbeat—a loose root-bump! “Aha,” Quill said. He wrapped the carrot in a napkin sling, drew one proud check mark, and added a new rule: handmade tools count double. If you spot the little chart, keep the secret—Carrot Clinic Challenge began behind the sunny window.
