THE LEGEND OF THE FIREFLY

There was a time when young and old stars could talk to Bathala. One day, the young stars learned that they become part of a black hole when they grow old. The young stars feared losing their light. They asked Bathala for help.

“I have a solution. But you have to give up a lot,” said Bathala. “You need to leave the heavens and live on land.” Some of the younger stars agreed.

On a dark night, you might chance upon these stars. They have turned into tiny twinkling bugs whose tails flicker as they fly from place to place.
