Emily's doorbell Dillon is shy. One gentle press makes him sing, but too many pokes make his gold button turn red and his sound wobble. When Cousin Kirk visits, he presses Dillon again and again. Emily stops him kindly and shows him that one soft touch is enough. Kirk learns to wait, wave, and use careful fingers. By evening, he rings once to say goodbye, and Dillon shines calmly like a little star.
