Aurora sat on the damp grass. Her six legs were tucked beneath her. The forest was very still.
A tiny firefly drifted down from a low branch. Its soft yellow light pulsed. Aurora flinched and tipped backward.
The firefly bobbed up and down. It tapped her horn with its tail. Eep! All six legs kicked up a cloud of dust.
Aurora slowly reached out a tiny leg and touched the glow. It was warm, like a sun-warmed stone.
The firefly drifted closer and circled her head. It painted golden streaks in the dark.
Aurora stood up on her scraggly legs. The firefly landed on the tip of one crooked horn.
Aurora's wings unfolded a little wider. She didn't shiver anymore.
She sat back down on the damp grass. The firefly glowed beside her. The forest was very still.
