NAME:

solstice night

- Today is a special day. It's the longest day of the year – Mom Zebra says when the family is having dinner. – It's called Solstice Night. The sun rises earlier, and sunset is later than ever.
“Is that why everyone goes to Firefly Meadow tonight? – asks Zig.
“That's right,” Dad says. - There is a special gift for everyone after dark.
Zig can't wait to see what it is. At sunset, all the residents meet in the meadow of Fireflies.

– Look over there! – whispers Mommy Zebra when it gets darker.
– Oh! exclaims Zag. – There are little stars shining in the grass! See?
The entire meadow is full of flashing lights.
- What is it? – asks Zig.
– They're called Fireflies. They are tiny insects that light up to find each other. This meadow and the island of Fireflies are named after them – explains Mom.
“Wow!”, “Wonderful!”, “Look over there!” whisper the villagers. Sparkling Fireflies dance around them. “This is magic,” thinks Zig. "I'm happy to live here."
