I am so happy to read this blog! Just to imagine this romantic scene of seeing the fireflies lit up over the water. At first I feel it should be 'seeing them light up', on second thought, fireflies themselves are just like electric lamps, as if to be lit up by someone all of sudden!
However, it is also true that in the eyes of children, such a black place can terrify them.
