Story of Fireflies

A long, long time ago bedtime stories were filled with adventures; of far, far, away lands; of flying horses and wise, old owls; of mischievous pixies and powerful wizards, of formidable giants and dainty fairies. There were always happy endings - a world where dreams come true.

Kampung Kuantan was once a humble little village, not unlike many during the early years. But as industrialisation set in later, this village suffered what many others did - Young folk moved away; fishermen and farmers living off the land found it difficult to eke out a living and the highways took away any chances of revival in the area.

Then one day, a bunch of entomologists heard about the strange congregation of lights not too far from the village - a place where millions of little green lights twinkled in the shadows of the night. The entomologists descended on the area like a swarm of bees to honey.

That was in the 70's. But the beauty of the place was kept a secret until almost a decade ago. These twinkling lights helped the villagers revive their little town. They are the local folks' little fairies....
