That evening, Sparky walked deep into the forest. He walked past a stone and a phrase was written on it. It showed, \u201cTo one who wishes may get it. May one move me.\u201d Sparky thought, \u201cWhat a great chance.\u201d Without thinking twice, Sparky moved it.\/ He then felt something weird happening to his body\u2026 He didn\u2019t get his light though, so he thought it was weird. Isn\u2019t getting his light what he hoped for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sparky didn\u2019t return to his home for a few days so his brother Bubba tried to find him. As Bubba felt a bit hopeless, he suddenly thought of a place he and Sparky would go to whenever they&#8217;re feeling down. Bubba set off into the forest and walked a long way to a beautiful lake. Sparky was actually there. Bubba was so relieved and flew towards Sparky. Sparky was crying all by himself and when he saw his brother, his eyes lit up. \u201cBrother!\u201d said Sparky. \u201cYou shouldn&#8217;t run away. Why are you here crying alone?\u201d asked Bubba. Sparky replied in a sad tone, \u201cThe other fireflies always leave me out and won\u2019t let me play with them\u2026\u201d When Bubba heard that, his face went from concerne to furious because he couldn\u2019t believe that the others would do that to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bubba dragged Sparky back to their home and told him to try to fit in. Bubba told him that he\u2019d be by his side just in case anything happened. Sparky went to find the other fireflies and used all his courage to talk to them. The fireflies not only didn\u2019t tell him to leave, but they told him to join them. Was it the stone&#8217;s magic or the fireflies\u2019 change of mind? Well, it\u2019s the stone and Sparky\u2019s courage to speak to them again. The stone read Sparky\u2019s mental thoughts that Sparky wanted to fit in, but not get his light. The other fireflies actually thought that he was a normal firefly without a light, and with an easy-going personality. They\u2019ve also said sorry to him about what happened in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This story teaches us that we shouldn\u2019t judge a book by its cover. We shouldn&#8217;t judge people by their looks. Just because Sparky doesn\u2019t have his light , it doesn;t make him any less of a firefly. This also resembles reality. People judge how people are based on their looks, clothing style, body shape, and even facial features. Can you imagine if someone did that to you? Those people who get judged are mostly afraid to speak up so we should also stop these situations when we see them. To be honest, It\u2019s just the same as bullying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- wp:paragraph --><p>There is one more chapter to go.
