Okay.
This story is called, "How the firefly got it's light."
Hal: Once upon a time, There were two fireflies, that were just called flies because they didn't have their light yet!
Squeeks: Yeah!
And they were having a party!
Hal: Wow!
We sure know how to throw a party!
Squeeks: Wing Bump!
Sun: (Yawns) Hal: Oh no!
It's too dark!
No one can see.
(boing) (splat) Squeeks: Our fiesta is a disasta!
Hal: We need the sun to bring us light and save our party!
Come on!
Hal: Oh no!
The sun's sleeping.
Squeeks: Let's wake her up!
Cock-a-doodle-dooo!
Sun: Hold up!
Wait a minute!
Who's waking me up before me-rise?
Hal: Hi, Sun.
It's me, Fly Hal.
Look we need light so we can have our party.
Sun: Sorry, kid, I'm off duty.
Sun: (Snooring) Hal: Oh no!
What now?
Squeeks: Don't worry, pal, I'm gonna lasso us up some light!
Squeeks: Or maybe not.
That tracks.
That tracks.
Hal/Squeeks: Oh no!
Our party is ruined!
Both: Boo-hoo!
Boo-hoo-hoo!
Sun: Awww man!
I hate to see a grown bug cry.
Hal: Hey look!
We light up!
Squeeks: And now we can save the party!
Hal/Squeeks: Hooray!
Thank you, Sun!
Sun: (Wink) (Snooring) ♪ Hal/Squeeks: And that's how the Firefly got its light!
Nature Cat: That was a terrific Nature Story!
Daisy: Ummm, that was entertaining and all, but the scientific reason that fireflies light up is because of bioluminescence, you know, when living things glow.
Nature Cat: I know that, but it's still fun to think of it happening because of a bug party.
Hahaha!
