Every evening, Bramble jingled past the frozen hay shed, counting his collar bells: ting, tang, tong, all six in a row. He wanted a new game, so one frosty dusk he shook his antlers and announced, “Guess what made that sound!”

Bramble sneezed so hard his bells rang backward—gong, gat, gnit! At last, he invented the final rule: whoever made the silliest sound won the last jingle. The snowfield roared with hoots, squeaks, sneezes, and antler-shakes, and if you spot Bramble’s big grin, you’ll know he is still counting: ting, tang, tong.
