In this story, the Goblins, usually friendly with the Fireflies, exclude them from a moonlit party because their light isn't needed, making the Fireflies feel used and unappreciated. Led by an elder, the slighted Fireflies devise a clever revenge: while the Goblins are away sailing, thousands of Fireflies cover their rock homes and glow steadily, tricking the returning Goblins into believing their homes are on fire.
