the dark? I heard a voice out there and I’ve been keeping still to hide.’

Chris smiled. ‘Aaron, don’t you know? You’re glowing! I saw you from the edge of the forest. You’re a glow worm!’

Aaron’s eyes widened.

‘That’s right!’ said Chris. ‘And there are more glow worms in that tree over there. They’ve been trying to call to you. They want to be friends!’

Aaron laughed but then he remembered why he was sad.

‘Chris, if you’re a butterfly and I’m a glow worm, can we still be friends? Butterflies have wings and glow worms have threads. You wake up at dawn and I wake up at dusk. How will it work?’

‘Of course we can, silly,’ said Chris. ‘We will always be friends. Friends find a way.’

From that day on, at every dawn and every dusk, Chris and Aaron raced to the top of their twig, laughing all the way.
