A Shiny Copper Penny

I slipped out past the front steps and toddled along the garden path until I reached the sunny neighborhood park! Right along the wide stone border of a flowerbed, half-tucked under a dry oak leaf, something caught the midday glare. I nudged the crunchy leaf aside with my foot and found a bright copper penny! It was warm from sitting in the sun. Leaning my whole body forward, I pushed the heavy little coin until it propped neatly upright inside a crevice in the stone. It caught the afternoon light like a tiny round mirror!
