Luna the firefly had a job: light the way for night travelers. But tonight, Luna saw her tiny glow. Then she looked up—the moon lit up the whole forest! "My light is too small," Luna said. "No one needs me."She started to fly home. SNAP! A twig broke in the dark woods. "Help! Is anyone there?" a voice cried. Luna stopped. Someone needed light—NOW.

Rosie the rabbit was lost. She dropped her berries. She couldn't see the path. The moon hid behind thick clouds—everything went BLACK. "I can't see my paws!" Rosie's voice shook. "Mama? Papa? Where are you?" Luna heard the fear in Rosie's voice. "She needs light," Luna thought. "Even small light." But Luna's glow was so dim—only as bright as ONE candle. "Will it be enough?" Luna worried.

Luna closed her eyes. She took three deep breaths. "One candle is better than zero candles," she said. She flew toward Rosie's voice—straight into the darkness. Her small glow cut through the black like a tiny star. Rosie saw a golden dot floating closer. "A light!" Rosie gasped. "A tiny, beautiful light!" Her heart lifted.

Other fireflies woke up in the trees. "Luna is helping someone!" they buzzed. "We should help too!" Five fireflies joined Luna... then ten... then twenty... Soon, fifty fireflies glowed together! The dark forest began to glow. Golden-green lights floated everywhere— like stars had fallen from the sky. Rosie looked around. "I can see now! I can see the trees!"

"There's the big oak tree!" Rosie hopped. "There's the stream!" "There's my house! I can see Mama's lamp in the window!" Rosie ran down the path. When she reached her door, she turned back. "Thank you!" Rosie called. "Your lights showed me the way home!" Luna's heart felt warm—warmer than her glowing tail. "My small light did help," she realized.

Luna and Rosie sat on the hill. Stars twinkled above. Fireflies danced around them. "Your small light saved me," Rosie said softly. Luna smiled. "I learned something tonight— even small lights matter." The moon came out from behind the clouds. Luna didn't compare herself to the moon anymore. She knew: her light was exactly the right size. You just have to shine.
