Bug Talk: For homework, Mr. Mantis has assigned the kids of his class to learn a new language, such as the buzzing of bumblebees or the chirping of crickets. Dragon has been assigned to learn about the light signals of fireflies, but does not relish the assignment. Miss Spider and Holley urge him to take the assignment seriously, telling him that learning another language is like getting a secret password. When Holley offers Dragon some one-and-one help, they both encounter Flint the firefly in a real-life predicament and Dragon gets to put his learning to practical use.
