There once was a little girl name Lily Waters who grew up in
a small farm community. As a child her parents gave her chores which included
going outside after dark to feed the chickens. Well you see this was the worst
chore she had because she was terribly afraid of the dark. When you live in the
country there are no street lights to provide you light. She didn’t mind her
chore so much on summer nights when the firefly’s would be out. She felt safe
because she convinced herself that they were little fairies sent to protect her
and light her way.
One night while she was running to the chicken coop she had
a terrible accident. You see it was dark and she couldn’t see where she was
running; when out of nowhere she bumped her head off of one of the fence posts.
Her parents rushed her to the doctors where she laid in a coma for a week. When
she woke up her parents were not there, the room was dark and scary. That’s when
it happened; all she did was wish for firefly’s to light the room and next
thing she knew there was a dozen jars of firefly’s that appeared in the room.
When she went home a few days later, she was getting around to
go outside and do her chores. So when she went outside she closed her eyes and
prayed for fireflies. When she opened her eyes there were thousands of them
lighting up the yard. That’s when she knew that she wanted to help other kids
who were afraid of the dark. So each night she would sneak out of her house and
go around to houses that had children, close her eyes and wish for fireflies to
light up the children’s rooms. The children who were afraid of the dark were no
longer afraid to go to bed ever again. They knew the Firefly Princess would
keep their rooms lit up.
