Fireflies

Fireflies During the summer holiday, my friends and I often play hide-and-seek near our houses. One day, I got a new idea. I suggested we play in a small forest nearby so that the game would be more interesting. We had lots of fun there. Before we knew it, it started to get dark. We had no light. Even worse, we could not find the way home. Some of my friends began to cry. Suddenly, I saw small flashing lights near the bushes. “ Fireflies! ” I exclaimed. “ Quick everyone, try to catchthem. ” We all started to catch them and put them into a bag. The small insects glowed with a bright green light. We could see each other's faces clearly. We were no longer scared.

萤火虫 暑假期间，我和我的朋友们经常在我们家附近玩捉迷藏。 有一天，我有了一个新主意。我建议我们在附近的小森林里玩，这样游戏会更有趣。我们在那里玩得很开心。 我们还没反应过来，天就黑了。我们没有灯光。 更糟糕的是，我们找不到回家的路。我的一些朋友开始哭泣。 突然，我看到灌木丛附近有闪烁的小灯。“萤火虫!”我叫道。“大家快，试着接住他们。 我们都开始抓住它们，把它们放进一个袋子里。小昆虫发出明亮的绿光。 我们可以清楚地看到彼此的脸。我们不再害怕了。

We sat in a circle around the light, telling each other stories while we waited for our parents. About half an hour later, our parents came to find us. We were very grateful to our good friends, the fireflies.

我们围着灯坐成一圈，在等父母的时候互相讲故事。大约半小时后，我们的父母来找我们。我们非常感谢我们的好朋友，萤火虫。
