A Shiny Discovery

I wiggled out from the cushion crease and peered underneath the sofa frame. Down on the floorboard, something caught the lamplight. I slid down softly and stood very still before approaching. There was a small, round metal coin lying right by the wooden leg. I nudged it with both paws until it rolled over against a square felt floor protector. It clinked softly, shiny and cool to the touch. Knowing coins are precious, I pushed it neatly into the shaded corner beneath the baseboard. Then I sat right beside it, keeping it safe.
