The adventures of Cluck and Sandrell continue in Book 2, Cluck Takes Flight.
‘My friend, there are two times in a firebug’s life when we can survive away from a fire, ‘ noted Cluck as Sandrell’s eyes lit up in anticipation to hear this tale.
‘The first time is early in life. Usually, when we are about one or two years old, we sprout wings and fly away to find our own fires and make new homes.’ Cluck cocked his head as he continued, ‘Perhaps you have seen ants with wings–they also fly away to find new homes.’ Sandrell nodded slowly, listening intently.
Cluck explained further, ‘A second set of wings comes at some point later in a firebug’s life. There is no exact time for this to occur, and it is different for every firebug. With the second set of wings, a firebug will fly away to The Gathering Tree to find a mate.’ (As he said that last part, his face broke into a huge boyish grin because at that moment he imagined seeing his very own true love for the first time!)
Cluck gleefully slapped his friend on his shoulder, as he looped his thumbs through his overall straps, leaned back, and watched the flames perk up glowing a brilliant blue as he talked.
