A Shiny Metal Token

Trotting past the end of the chalk grid, a round flash of silver near a weathered wooden bench caught my eye! Chirping eagerly, I tilted my head and hurried over to investigate. Half-wedged in a crack between the concrete slabs was a shiny transit token. I planted my feet, wedged the flat pommel of my toy lightsaber under the cool metal edge, and pried with all my strength. Clink! The token popped free and spun like a dizzy top before resting flat. Picking it up with both paws, I admired its stamped geometric patterns—a grand prize from my street patrol!
