Fireworks on Wings by Peter Ditzel and Lowell Wagner Jr. - A Tale of Two Ball Games by Lowell Wagner Jr. - What's the Best Pet for You? by Tom Delamater - Proverbs for Today: Apply Now for Success by Jim Roberts: From a distance, the tree seems to be on fire. But as you get closer, you see that it's not burning so much as flashing. It's full of thousands of fireflies! In some parts of Asia, male fireflies cluster on certain trees and flash together to attract females searching for a mate. The trees' glow can be seen up to half a mile away. The firefly fascinates people wherever it lives, which is quite a few places. Where there is warmth and moisture, you'll probably find fireflies. (There are a few exceptions, like the West Coast of the United States.) - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
