Lorrie Leopard Loves Lightning Bugs

by Betty Ward Cain

Overview

Baby Lorrie loves to play tricks on the other animals in the jungle. One of her favorite things to do is lie very still in a tree. When an animal is below the tree, she will pounce on them and knock them to the ground. Then she will laugh and laugh. One day the animals decide to hide from her. When none of her friends come by the tree and it is getting dark, Lorrie begins to be afraid…especially when bright lights begin to flicker in the sky. Leaning from the tree to see the lights, Lorrie falls to the ground. The other animals come out of hiding to check on her, but when Lester Lightning Bug lands on her nose, he begins to tell her how all the animals feel about her trick. Now all the animals and lightning bugs become friends.
