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.

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.
