A Prismatic Surprise

I waddled toward the bright afternoon light pool on the floor and found a cut-glass paperweight resting beside a stack of mail. Curiously, I pressed my chest against its smooth, heavy facet to see if it would slide! Instead, it pivoted on the wood with a quiet scraping sound, catching the afternoon sun and scattering dozens of bouncing rainbow flecks across the floorboards. I let out an excited chirp and hopped straight toward the closest blue beam, chasing the lively sparks of color as they danced with every nudge of my bill.
