Want to walk over to Grammy's with me?
It's such a nice summer evening.
- Yes! can I bring my flashlight too?
It is getting a little dark.
- Absolutely.
[Wolfie barking]
I love this time of day.
It's kind of magical.
- Dad, did you see that?
[Wolfie barking]
- Shhh, Wolfie we don't wanna scare away the fairies.
- Fairies?
- Yeah, the fairies fly around, sprinkling all the creatures
of the woods with fairy dust.
You know, so they'll have sweet dreams.
[Rider laughs] Dad?

I wanna see one up close.

- Hello my Rider.
- Grammy, guess what?
Dad tried to tell me there are fairies in the woods,
but they're really fireflies.
- Hi sweety.
- Hey mom.
- There they are.
[Rider chuckles]
[Wolfie barks]
- See grammy, they're fireflies.
Do they light up so they can see in the dark?
Like a flashlight?
- They light up, to attract other fireflies.
- I get it.
Go find your friends, little firefly.
[Grammy laughing] [Owl hoots]
- Your dad would stare at those lights
until he was so sleepy.
He couldn't keep his eyes open.
[Rider yawns]
[Owl hooting]
- Grammy, tell me more about when dad was little.
