Sophie loved watching fireflies dance outside her window when the sun set and the night sky turned deep and dark. Their tiny lights blinked like stars, and she always wondered where they went after the night was over.
One evening, as the stars twinkled softly and the moon smiled gently from the sky, Sophie sat by her window with her favorite blanket wrapped around her shoulders.
“Where do you go when night ends?” she whispered to the fireflies.
A soft glow drifted closer, and one little firefly hovered near her cheek. Its tiny light pulsed warmly, as if inviting her to come along.
“Would you like to follow us?” the firefly whispered.
Sophie’s eyes lit up. “Yes!” she breathed.
She climbed out of bed quietly and tiptoed into the garden. The fireflies danced around her, forming a glowing path that led toward the woods.
The breeze was cool and filled with the scent of jasmine and wet grass. As Sophie followed the shimmering lights, she saw fields of flowers bowing gently as if welcoming her.
“Do the fireflies dream?” she asked aloud.
“They do!” the fireflies whispered softly as they twirled around her.
“What do they dream about?”
“They dream about flowers that glow, forests that sing, and stars that giggle like children,” one firefly chirped as it danced above her head.
Sophie’s heart filled with wonder. “Can I dream with you?”
The fireflies blinked brightly in agreement and twirled together in a playful circle.
Soon, they led Sophie to a clearing where the grass sparkled with soft lights. The fireflies gathered around and sang a song:
“Close your eyes, dream with care,
Let your heart take you anywhere.
A forest bright, a moonlit stream,
Where friends are kind and dreams can gleam.”
Sophie snuggled into the soft grass, and her eyes grew heavy with sleep. The fireflies hovered gently above her, forming little glowing halos like soft lanterns.
As she drifted into dreams, she saw flowers that glowed like fireflies, trees that whispered secrets, and streams that sang songs as they danced.
She played with glowing animals—foxes with sparkling tails, rabbits with soft moonlight fur, and owls whose eyes shone like silver stars.
They laughed together, shared stories, and danced under the gentle glow of the dream sky.
When morning came, Sophie woke with a soft smile on her lips. The fireflies had vanished, but their glow lingered in her heart.
She hugged her blanket and whispered softly, “Thank you, friends.”
Her eyes twinkled like the stars as she drifted off to sleep once more, dreaming of glowing forests, singing streams, and endless adventures.
