Today, Sam was wearing his favorite sturdy hiking boots and looking for interesting rocks to add to a collection. Suddenly, something caught the light near a mossy, fallen log. It was a bright, cherry-red button that must have fallen off a hiker's jacket! Sam picked up the smooth treasure and wondered who it might belong to in this big forest.

Sam is kneeling on a mossy forest floor next to a large log, looking at a small red button in Sam's hand. Sunbeams filter through the green canopy overhead.

A sudden rustle in the oak tree made Sam look up quickly. Out popped Scurry, a small, fluffy red squirrel with an extra-bushy tail and twinkling black eyes. Scurry was scurrying back and forth on a low branch, looking very worried and squeaking a tiny, frantic song. Sam noticed that Scurry was pointing toward a small hollow in the tree filled with dozens of colorful buttons. Sam realized that Scurry was a tiny artist who collected lost treasures to build a beautiful nest.

Scurry was missing the most important piece for a wonderful new mosaic. It was a shimmering gold button that looked just like a miniature sun! Without it, the center of the squirrel's artwork was just an empty patch of dark brown dirt. Sam wanted to help the furry friend finish the masterpiece before the sun went down. Together, they started a grand search under golden leaves and behind smooth, gray river stones.

The woods were very big, but Sam had very sharp eyes. Sam looked high and low until a tiny glimmer appeared near a giant, feathery green fern. There it was! The golden button was hiding in the soft grass, sparkling like a fallen star. Sam carefully scooped up the gold button and showed it to the waiting squirrel. Scurry chattered with pure joy and did a happy little dance on the tip of Sam's hiking boot.

A large green fern is in the background.

Sam followed the squirrel back to the cozy nest inside the hollow tree. Scurry carefully placed the gold button right in the center of the colorful mosaic. The nest now looked like a brilliant rainbow made of plastic and wood. Sam felt very proud to have helped such a clever little builder. Sam waved goodbye to Scurry, knowing that the little squirrel would have the most beautiful and brightest home in the whole forest.
