In a lively Singapore neighborhood, Ravi loved exploring his block after school. One warm evening, as the sun dipped below the HDB flats, he noticed tiny blinking lights near the park. They flickered like stars but moved and shimmered in colors—red, blue, green—like magic. Ravi’s eyes widened with wonder, but a tiny voice inside made him hesitate. What were these mysterious lights? Were they friends or just tricks of the evening? His heart fluttered with curiosity and a pinch of nervousness, wondering if he should go closer or stay safe.
Ravi watched from a distance, feeling a mix of awe and nervousness. Just then, Lina, his cheerful friend, spotted him and waved excitedly. 'Come closer, Ravi! These lights are so beautiful! They’re like tiny fireflies playing hide-and-seek,' she said, her eyes sparkling. Ravi hesitated, his feet rooted to the ground as the lights flickered faster and seemed to dance away. Memories of feeling shy in class flickered in his mind, but Lina’s warm smile made him want to try. Taking a deep breath, Ravi decided to be brave and inch closer, eager to uncover the secret behind the glowing lights.
As Ravi reached out his hand, the blinking lights suddenly glowed brighter. They formed a gentle pattern—a friendly face smiling at him! Ravi’s heart pounded with a mix of awe and uncertainty. Should he touch the glowing lights and see if they were magical friends, or step back and stay safe? His hand hovered in the air, trembling slightly. The fireflies pulsed softly, inviting him to believe in their magic. With a deep breath, Ravi decided to trust his heart. He reached out and gently touched the glowing lights, feeling a warm, gentle pulse that made him smile. Lina cheered, happy that Ravi was brave enough to discover their secret.
Gently, Ravi touched the glowing fireflies, and they pulsed with a soft, welcoming light. Suddenly, they revealed themselves as tiny, glowing fireflies that loved to play hide-and-seek in the night. Lina clapped happily, proud that Ravi had been brave. Ravi felt a warm glow inside—he had taken a chance and made new friends. From that night on, the fireflies became his special friends, lighting up his adventures in the park. Ravi learned that being brave means trying new things, especially with friends by your side. The neighborhood was brighter and happier because of their magic, and Ravi felt more confident to explore the world around him.
