Under the warm cubby shelf, Bram tapped two crayons together: tick-tock, tick-tock. He had invented a secret game called Desk Parade. To play, every desk needed a tiny welcome flag, and Bram wanted the first one ready before the bell.
He slipped past the glue cupboard, where paper smelled dusty and sweet. Snip, fold, smudge! A strip of blue paper stuck to his wing, and one shiny button from his backpack rolled under the rug. “Shh,” Bram whispered, “that’s the toll.” He used the button for the flag top instead.
Back at his cubby, Bram planted the flag on his desk. It leaned. It sparkled. It was his. Next time you spot Bram’s backpack, keep the secret: one missing button started the whole parade.
