Summer is the season of beautiful flowers and lot of sunshine. It is the time to enjoy watching those June Bugs (Firefly) which make their appearance in the twilight hours.
I have always been fascinated by these bugs. When I was in elementary school, my father gifted me a picture story book which mentioned the firefiles. It is etched on my memory.
It was a story about Papa Bird, Mommy Bird and their Babies. Papa and Mommy bird build a nest with empty coconut shells. The family moves in their new home.
Next morning Papa goes to get the food and Mommy is taking care of the babies. They are very happy. But as it started to grow dark, Mommy feels it is too dark inside the nest and is worried about the babies. She request Papa to do something to get rid of the darkness.
Papa flies to find something which will light up their home and that is when he finds the fireflies dancing around the trees and in the farm. Papa carries one with him and flies back to his nest.
When he returns, he places the bug in the corner of the nest and then, lo and behold there was light everywhere. Thanks to the firefly. Both Papa and Mommy are very happy.
