Stop and Stare

The pup had been handed a bag…but no explanation on how he was supposed to catch the damn bugs. The youth would carry the bag in his mouth, keeping his head held high to prevent it from dragging on the ground and further disturbing the fireflies he was supposed to attempt to catch. The night was in full swing by this time and the field seemed to be a little less cluttered than it had been previously. A relief for him, it meant he could attempt this without too many bystanders watching him…and laughing at him. Huffing softly, he would sit his bag down and look around at the blades of grass. Ears forward and muscles tense he waited until a cluster lit up in the grass and then, he pounced in the same fashion a fox would. It worked on mice and voles…itd work on bugs too…right?
