- Okay!
Come on, Margaret.
Let's go see what's over there.
Hey, where'd you go?
(laughing) Come back here, you silly Margaret!
Got ya!
(laughing) Ooh... look, Margaret.
The sun's going down.
It's getting darker.
- Ooh... - Hey, what was that?
They're fireflies!
- Oh... - See how they light up?
Have you ever seen a firefly?
I think they're grr-ific.
Come here, fireflies.
I want to say 'hi'.
I guess they want to keep flying.
(whimpering) Margaret, what's wrong?
(crying) Are you scared of the fireflies?
(crying) But... they're nice!
They won't hurt you, see?
(crying) Margaret, come back!
- Oh my, Margaret.
What's wrong?
(crying) - We were just looking at the fireflies.
Margaret got scared.
- Oh, I see.
- But I told her they won't hurt her.
So why is she still scared?
- Well, Margaret's never seen a firefly before.
To her, they're new.
And new things can be scary sometimes.
Right, Margaret?
(whimpering) - Can I help her?
- ♪ When something is new ♪ ♪ Holding a hand can help you ♪ - I can hold Margaret's hand so she's not scared.
Margaret?
♪ When something is new ♪ ♪ Holding a hand can help you ♪ Come on.
Hold my hand.
We'll look at the fireflies together.
- Nice job, big brother.
- It's okay.
Come here.
There they are.
They're nice.
See?
It's like they're twinkling and saying, 'Hi!'
Hi, Margaret!
Hi!
Hi!
- Hi, hi... (giggling) - Come on.
Don't be afraid.
Look at how they light up.
So beautiful.
Holding hands is helping Margaret.
(squealing) She's not as scared anymore!
- Ooh, Dan-Dan!
- Yay Margaret!
