Luna was a very little fairy, with wings the color of lavender and a giggle like tiny bells. She lived in a cozy mushroom house in the Whispering Woods. Every night, Luna’s job was to make sure all the fireflies were twinkling brightly. But tonight, something was wrong! Lots of little fireflies were blinking sadly, and some weren’t glowing at all.
“What’s the matter?” Luna asked a tiny firefly named Flicker. Flicker sniffled. “We… we got lost! We were playing hide-and-seek, and now we can’t find our way back to the meadow where our families are.” Luna’s heart felt a little flutter of worry, but she knew she had to help. Being brave meant helping even when you were a little scared.
“Don’t worry, Flicker!” Luna said with a smile. “I’ll help you find your way home.” Luna knew the Whispering Woods very well. She flew ahead, her lavender wings shimmering, and called out, “Follow me, little fireflies!” The lost fireflies blinked their little lights and followed Luna through the trees.
The woods were dark, and sometimes Luna had to fly very slowly so the little fireflies could keep up. She encouraged them, “Just a little further! We’re almost there!” She noticed one firefly, Sparkle, was having trouble keeping up. Luna gently flew beside Sparkle and gave her a tiny push with her wing. “You can do it, Sparkle! I’m here to help.”
Finally, they reached the meadow! The meadow was filled with twinkling fireflies, all buzzing with happy lights. Flicker and Sparkle zoomed towards their families, blinking with joy. “Thank you, Luna!” they called. Luna felt a warm glow inside. Helping others felt wonderful!
Luna waved goodbye to the happy fireflies. She flew back to her mushroom house, feeling tired but very happy. She knew that even a little fairy could make a big difference with kindness and a helpful heart. As she drifted off to sleep, Luna smiled, knowing that tomorrow she would continue to spread sparkle and joy throughout the Whispering Woods.
