The New Treasure Guard
I squeezed backward through the patio door gap, rolling my heavy buckeye nut ahead of me with both boots! It rumbled across the living room floorboards like a runaway bowling ball, straight into my dark hideout under the sofa. Clack! It tapped right into my giant yellow tennis ball and bounced to a stop against my grey sock bed. I scrambled under the blue feather canopy, puffed out my cheeks, and buffed the smooth mahogany shell with my blue sleeve until it gleamed under my strawberry lantern. It looks like a glossy royal boulder guarding my sleeping nest!
