Once upon a time, in a quiet meadow, there lived a little firefly named Flicker. Unlike the other fireflies who glowed brightly at night, Flicker's light was very dim. This made Flicker feel sad and different.
One evening, Flicker met a wise old owl named Oliver. "Why do you look so sad, little one?" asked Oliver.
"My light is so dim," Flicker replied. "I'm not like the other fireflies."
Oliver smiled gently. "Your light may be different, but that doesn't make it less special. Sometimes, the smallest lights can make the biggest difference."
That night, a young rabbit named Rosie got lost in the dark forest. The bright fireflies flew high above, but their light was too far away to help Rosie find her way home.
Flicker, flying close to the ground, noticed Rosie crying. "Don't worry," Flicker said. "Follow my light."
Flicker's small, gentle glow was perfect for lighting the path through the bushes and under the trees. Step by step, Flicker guided Rosie safely home.
When they arrived, Rosie's family thanked Flicker. "You saved our daughter! Your light was exactly what she needed."
From that day on, Flicker understood that being different wasn't something to be sad about. Every light, no matter how small, has its own special purpose.
