The story of a firefly

Perhaps thou mayest have seen the firefly shine like a lamp in the garden at night.
"O, night-illuminating moth!" Someone said, "Why comest thou not in the daytime?"
The firefly gave an answer full of wisdom, "Because I am not visible before the sun."

Saadi (13th century persian poet), The Bostan of Saadi, source
