A Safe Harbor for Gold

Hauling that copper coin across the carpet was heavy work, so I needed a fortified chest to keep it safe! Right near the base of the sofa, I stumbled upon a fallen wooden clothespin split slightly open. With a mighty heave, I slid the rim of the copper coin right between its wooden jaws until it pinched shut tight. It holds the treasure steady and stands on its own like a grand wooden anchor! A true captain always secures his hoard—time to claim me booty!
