Sparkle the tiny firefly opens her eyes. Her house is made of soft, green moss by the big lake. Good morning, mossy house! Good morning, sun! says Sparkle. She is happy and ready to play.

Sparkle flaps her wings. Flap, flap, flap! She flies to the garden. There, she sees her friend Spot the butterfly. Spot has many pretty dots on his wings. Hello, Spot! says Sparkle.

Sparkle and Spot find a tiny dewdrop on a big leaf. It looks like a little round mirror. They look at their reflections and smile. Look how we sparkle! they say.

Sparkle flies over to the cool, blue lake. Lily the water lily is resting on the water. She is very beautiful and white. Hello, Lily! Hello, water! says Sparkle. Lily waves a leaf to say hi.

On an old brown log, Click the turtle is resting. Click peeks his head out of his hard shell. Hello, Click! Hello, world! says Sparkle. Click blinks his eyes slowly and smiles at her.

Click walks very slowly. Step, step, step. Sparkle flies right beside him. They move together across the soft, dark earth. Small moments are the best moments.

Suddenly, they hear a happy sound. Quack, quack! It is Waddle the duckling. Waddle is yellow and very fluffy. Sparkle waves her wings. Hello, Waddle! Hello, lake!

Waddle jumps into the water with a splash. Sparkle turns on her little light. Blink, blink! The water makes a sweet sound. They play together near the reeds.

The sun begins to hide behind the hills. The sky turns pink and orange. It is time to say goodbye. Sparkle looks at her friend Click. Goodnight, friend, they say quietly.

The big silver moon comes out to glow. Spot and Waddle are now fast asleep. All the friends are cozy and safe. Sparkle closes her eyes. Goodnight, world.
