Once upon a time, in a field full of fireflies, lived a little bug named Bugsy. Bugsy loved playing hide-and-seek with his friends, but when bedtime came, he just couldn't fall asleep.

One night, Bugsy tossed and turned in his tiny leaf bed. He counted sparkling fireflies, but sleep wouldn't come. He heard a little sniffle nearby. It was Betty the Butterfly, crying softly.

Bugsy crawled over to Betty. "Why are you crying?" he asked.

Betty wiped her eyes with her wing. "I lost my blanket," she whispered. "And now I'm cold and can't sleep."

Bugsy remembered how his own leafy blanket kept him warm and cozy. He felt sad for Betty. "I have an extra leaf!" he chirped. "You can share mine!"

Betty's eyes lit up. "Really?" she asked. Bugsy quickly fetched the leaf and spread it over Betty. She snuggled under it and smiled. "Thank you, Bugsy," she said. "It's so warm!"

Bugsy felt a warm feeling inside. Helping Betty made him feel good. He crawled back into his own bed. Suddenly, he felt sleepy. Maybe helping others was the secret to a good night's sleep!

He closed his eyes and imagined Betty sleeping soundly under the warm leaf. Soon, Bugsy drifted off to sleep, dreaming of playing hide-and-seek with Betty and all his friends.

The next morning, Bugsy woke up feeling refreshed. He saw Betty fluttering nearby, her wings sparkling in the sunlight. "Good morning, Bugsy!" she called. "I slept so well! Thank you for sharing your leaf."

Bugsy smiled. "You're welcome, Betty!" he said. From that day on, Bugsy and Betty were the best of friends, and Bugsy always made sure to share his extra leaf whenever someone needed it. He learned that being kind and helping others made him feel good and helped him sleep soundly every night.
