 "Fireflies in a  Jar"
by  Lucille Lever © 2009

Picture



 I caught three fireflies and kept them in a jar.  I loved watching their little lights go on and off.  When I looked at the sky  in  the night, I could see lots of other fireflies like little stars, flying around.

Then I felt sad that my fireflies c ould not go anywhere, so I opened the jar and let them out. And when they flew  away, I felt very happy.

It's so interesting to see fireflies close up, but  it's such fun to let them out and let them fly away, free in the sky.   Lots of little lights out there are much nicer than a few in a jar!
