A Glowing Night Cache

My paws raced straight back to the underside of the wooden garden bench before twilight faded completely! I dropped the smooth acorn right into my plastic plant saucer nest, nudging it snug against the silver foil wrapper and crunchy leaves. Then, a warm flicker caught my gaze! High up on the wall, a brass courtyard lantern clicked on, casting long golden slats right through the bench frame onto my cache. *Huff!* The foil wrapper blazed with tiny mirror sparkles, lighting up the glossy brown shell of my acorn like a miniature treasure hall. I tucked my front paws tightly under my chest, watching the gold beams shift across the stones.
