"One warm evening, Leo's family sat in the backyard waiting for the sunlight to fade. 'Tonight is firefly night!' said Dad. Leo could hardly believe it. He had counted the days -- twenty of them -- until firefly season.",
"When the sky grew dark, tiny bright lights began to blink above the grass. Leo caught one gently in his hands, holding them together like a shield. He peeked inside and saw the little glow, then let it fly free.",
"His baby sister was almost crying because she couldn't catch one by herself. So Leo helped her. 'Look up!' he said. Fireflies floated above them like stars stuck to the ceiling of the sky. 'Someday,' Leo whispered to himself, 'I want to take a night flight and see the stars up close.'"
