Under the maple arch, Huxley dared himself to make the smallest parade flag shine before the wagon reached the hilltop barn. He tucked one warm glow behind his carved grin and rolled out with the apples, hay, and squeaky wheels. Psst—he picked the flag with the bent corner because nobody else was watching it. A trumpet tootled, leaves scratched the road, and Huxley sent one little golden wink upward.
Then the wind huffed hard. The banner snapped, the dog barked, and the wagon bumped into a rut with a wooden clunk. Huxley’s glow slipped away from the flag and poured along the path instead, bright as soup in a bowl. “This way,” whispered a child, and the wagon rolled safely home. The flag stayed plain, but every apple shone. Next time you spot Huxley’s grin, keep his secret: under the maple arch, he gave his glow where nobody saw.
