A New Treasure Tucked In

I trotted back inside through the balcony door with the smooth seashell held carefully in my jaws. The living room was quiet and warm under the evening lamps. Underneath the coffee table, my striped sock, red button, and marble were waiting right where I left them! Yip! I nudged the sock flat with my plush nose, then gently dropped the seashell right beside the glass marble. It clicked faintly against the floor. Perfect fit! I circled the little treasure pile three times, trampled a hollow in the rug, and let out a long yawn, resting my chin directly over my shell.
