My new blue sharpener

My new blue sharpener sits quietly in the front pocket of my school backpack. Whenever my pencil tip breaks during class, I pull out the sharpener immediately. I insert the wooden pencil firmly into the small circular hole and twist it around. Tiny colorful shavings begin to pile up neatly inside the transparent plastic container. After a few quick turns, the pencil tip becomes sharp and perfect again. Finally, I empty the waste into the classroom trash bin and close my bag.
