📝 Quick summary of key information

Why does the scorpion glow under the moonlight?

Scorpions glow under the moonlight because of a special substance in their bodies. This is called fluorescence. When the moon shines, this substance glows, like a little star on the ground.

Scorpions live in hot and dry places, like deserts. They like to hide under rocks and in cracks to escape the daytime heat.

Scorpions are night hunters. They come out at night to catch their prey. With their strong pincers, they catch insects and other small creatures. Their venom helps to stop their prey.

Scorpions play an important role in their environment. By eating insects, they help control their population. They protect themselves from dangers by hiding and using their venom to defend.

Saphira the Scorpion and the Star Dance

Why does the scorpion glow under the moonlight?

The Glowing Discovery

After discovering the secret of surviving in the desert with Dario the Camel, Sami and Sélia, the clever little fennec foxes, were more curious than ever. They had learned how Dario could travel long distances without ever getting thirsty thanks to his hidden water reserves and unique habits. This time, under a starry sky, they decided to explore the mysteries of the singing dunes. Sami, with his big ears standing tall, listened carefully to the whispers of the wind, while Sélia, always observant, looked for hidden clues in the golden sand, with her ears always standing tall, ready to listen to the wind's secrets.

Sami, eyes wide open, exclaims:
« Sélia, look at this light! »

Curious, Sélia says:
« That's weird. Let's go see. »

Soon after, they found Saphira the Scorpion. Saphira, with her curved tail and strong pincers, moved gracefully on the sand. She showed them her glowing dance, where every movement made her shell‎ (1) sparkle under the starlight.

Sami, curious, asks:
« Saphira the Scorpion, why do you shine like that? »

Saphira the Scorpion, with a soft and reassuring voice, explains: « It's because of chemicals‎ (2)‎ (3) in my shell. They react to the moonlight. »

Sélia, amazed, exclaims:
« It's magical! »

Saphira the Scorpion, with her soft and wise voice, explains: « It's a way to shine that helps me attract prey‎ (4) and protect myself from predators. But it's not just useful, it's also a dance I do to feel alive under the starry sky. »

After watching Saphira's dance, Sami and Sélia noticed a symbol‎ (5) carved‎ (6) on a nearby rock. Saphira showed them the symbol, and it looked like the one on the scroll‎ (7)… A new clue to the treasure had been found!

The Mysterious Symbol

Sami and Sélia looked at the symbol carefully. They wondered what it could mean.

Sami, curious, asks:
« Saphira, what does this symbol mean? »

Saphira the Scorpion, with a deep and serious voice, explains:
« It's an old sign. It shows the way to secret places. »

Sélia, her eyes sparkling, asks:
« Can we follow it? »

Saphira the Scorpion, in a deep and wise voice, says:
« Yes, it will take you to magical places. But be careful, the desert hides mysteries. »

With their new friend Saphira the Scorpion, a piece of the puzzle had been revealed in the heart of a beautiful carved stone. The young fennecs could not imagine what awaited them next as they ventured deeper into the remote areas of the desert. They did not have time to stop, for curiosity takes over with every new detail. This new quest pushed them to explore further, and they were ready to face new adventures and discover even more secrets hidden in the golden sands of the desert.
