Beamy the firefly felt a flutter in her tummy. Today was her first day out.

Her wings were tiny but strong. She knew they could carry her anywhere.

Mother smiled at her. 'Remember, kindness lights up the world,' she said.

Outside, the world was vast. Tall trees touched the sky. Beamy was amazed.

She met a caterpillar named Crawly. 'I'm scared of heights,' he confessed.

'Don't worry, I'll show you the treetops!' said Beamy with a smile.

Up in the air, Beamy's light sparkled. Crawly felt safe and happy.

They watched the sunset paint the sky. 'It's beautiful,' murmured Crawly.

Back on the ground, Crawly found courage. 'Tomorrow, I'll try climbing higher.'

'Friends help you grow,' Beamy realized. She felt her heart glow warmer.

As night fell, Beamy lit up the path home. She felt brave and strong.

Mother hugged her. 'Your light shines brightest when you're true to yourself,' she whispered.
