I was eating ice cream around a grassy area in Princeton, New Jersey. Little sparks of blazing light flashed across the area.
"What's that?" I asked.
Then I went to the grassy area.
"Fireflies!" I yelled, trying to catch one.
This sight was amazing! I had to try catching one. Then Felipe caught one and showed it to us. I was excited to see one. Fireflies are beautiful, blazing creatures! I walked down the street with Kendra, my sisters and my mom. We could still see fireflies. I caught one, and then my mom took a picture. It was a beautiful sight! I had never seen one in my life, not one. I had seen them in books, but not in real life. This beauty is amazing. Fireflies are big and easy to catch. These bugs are interesting to watch and discover. I never thought I would see these amazing creatures in my life. It was an amazing discovery for me!
Mom's Note: This is exactly as Mary wrote it in her diary the next morning. Thanks, Mrs. Lomas! :)
