A Rainbow Through the Prism

I scrambled up the woven mesh of a book return cart and hopped straight onto the broad wooden window sill! Morning light was pouring through the big pane, and sitting right on an open magazine was a thick glass paperweight shaped like a pyramid. Heh! I gave it a hearty bump with my round tummy. The heavy glass didn't tumble, but click! It pivoted on the glossy page, and whoosh—a bright stripe of red, yellow, and blue light splashed right across my front! I leaned in close to tap the cool angled facet with my stubby hand, watching the rainbow dance across the wood grain every time I shifted my weight.
