The floor was shiny and slippery, not like cement and not like soil. I could hear my paws scratching as I ran. Luckily, there were so many people and so many nooks and crannies that even without trees or shrubs to hide in, Lenox and I quickly managed find a dark corner in which to keep safe.

We stayed hidden for quite a while. It was good to sit quietly and catch our breath. Since early morning, we had been running on hard cement, exposed to outrageous noises, and bumped about on the back of a bus. Now we both curled up, watching and listening but not making a movement that might call attention to us. My stomach reminded me that I hadn’t eaten in hours, and I wondered where the food was stored in this place.

“We’ve got to get out of here,” Lenox said firmly. “I don’t care what the name means. There are no flowering valleys here.”

I hated to admit it, but he was right.

Maybe there was something better on the other side of the street, I thought.

Cautiously, keeping low and frequently hiding, Lenox and I headed back in the direction we had come from. It was a great relief when I saw the doors again, and when someone opened one, I charged out. Lenox was right behind me. We’d escaped from Blooming Vales. Now what?

I looked around. The street was crowded with people walking in both directions. There were cars and buses, noise and feet. This was not a good place for a pair of squirrels.

Then I looked across the street. I saw a large building with a huge sign on it. I tried to remember the reading lessons PeeWee had given me last summer.
