The Little FireflyIn a jar filled with fireflies, one little firefly buzzed with impatience. He couldn't wait for his turn to light up like his brothers and sisters. He practiced flashing his light, but it remained dim.One day, the impatient firefly snuck out of the jar. He tried with all his might to glow, but nothing happened. Discouraged, he returned to the jar.A wise old firefly noticed his sadness. "Little one," he said, "everything has its time. You haven't grown enough to shine yet."Days turned into weeks, and the little firefly kept practicing. Finally, one night, he lit up with a beautiful glow! He learned that patience is important, and good things come to those who wait.Moral: Wait until your time comes. Patience and hard work will help you achieve your goals.
