A bell is a thing made of metal that makes a ringing sound when something hits it. It often has the shape of a cup or a bowl. Usually, there is something attached to it inside that can move and can hit the bell to make the sound.
I like to ring the bell on my bike. If I see a squirrel or cat in the road, I always ring my bell. Sometimes I ring it just for fun, though.
