A lightning bug and a luna moth rested on the blossom of the swaying butterfly bush. Their journey to Mr. Rudyard Kipling's home in Vermont had been a long one, but only he could tell them how to explain their wondrous gifts. Just why did the proud lightning bug light the night with his glowing lantern? Why did the splendid luna moth dance in the bewitching light of the full moon? A teller of delightful tales, Mr. Kipling would not fail them, but it would be his remarkable child who would bring light to all of them.
