Glitter's Lost Light

Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there lived a little firefly named Glitter. Glitter was known for his gentle glow that lit up the night. He would dance with his firefly friends, creating a magical light show. One night, as the stars twinkled above, Glitter noticed something strange. His light had vanished! Feeling worried and a little sad, Glitter looked around at his glowing friends. "What happened to my light?" he wondered. Determined to find his glow, Glitter set off on an adventure through the forest.

Glitter fluttered through the forest, searching for answers. Soon, he came across Wise Old Owl perched on a sturdy branch. "Hello, Glitter," hooted the owl kindly. "Why do you look so troubled?" Glitter explained his missing glow to Wise Old Owl. The owl thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps your glow is hiding because it needs a little more love and care." Glitter nodded, feeling hopeful. "Thank you, Wise Old Owl," he said, and continued on his journey.
