The Night the Window Went Dark
From the windowsill, Bit and Lulu peeked into the room. A little girl called Mia sat with the laptop. On its screen was a photo of her grandma, who lived far, far away. "Goodnight, Grandma," Mia whispered, and she smiled.
Down in Glowtown, Glitch was so happy with her little lamp that she danced. She twirled right up to the Window and flapped her wings, flap, flap, WHOOSH! One row of tiny lanterns blew out, then another, then all of them.
Outside, Mia's screen went black. Grandma was gone! Mia's lip wobbled. "Oh no," she said. "My computer is broken."
Glitch hid behind her wings. "I didn't mean to," she said in a tiny voice. Bit wiggled up beside her. "Then let's light them again, together!" he said. And Lulu said, "Quick, before Mia goes to bed!"
The Window was a giant wall of tiny glass lanterns, row after row after row, more than all the stars in the sky. Bit climbed, Lulu flew, and Glitch fluttered. "Wiggle-wow," whispered Bit. "There are so many of them!"
"I know!" said Bit, and he lit every lantern he could reach, ping, ping, ping, all of them! Outside, Mia's screen turned all white. Mia rubbed her eyes. "Just white?" she said. "Where's Grandma?"
Lulu looked at the lanterns for a long time. "A picture isn't all of them on," she said slowly. "Some are on, and some are off. The picture is in which ones we light!" Glitch clapped. "Then let's make a picture Mia will love!"
They chose a heart. Lulu flew to the top lanterns, Glitch fluttered to the sides, and Bit wiggled along the bottom. On, off, off, on. Lantern by lantern, a shape began to glow.
"A heart should be red," said Glitch. Bit looked closely. Each lantern had three tiny glass bells inside, one red, one green and one blue. So they rang only the red bells, and the heart glowed warm and red.
Outside, a big red heart glowed on Mia's screen. Mia stopped sniffling. Her eyes grew wide, and then she smiled the biggest smile. "Hello, heart!" she said. "Is somebody in there?"
Old Byte came sliding up. "Well done, little ones," she said. "Now let the Window remember the rest." She tapped the wall, and thousands of lanterns blinked on and off, faster than anyone could count, until there was Grandma again, smiling.
"Goodnight, Grandma," said Mia, "and goodnight, little heart." Down in Glowtown, Glitch danced again, but very gently, far away from the Window. Bit and Lulu wiggled and crawled home. Goodnight, Mia.
大窗户黑了
比比和露露从窗台上往屋里看。一个叫米娅的小女孩坐在电脑前。屏幕上是她奶奶的照片，奶奶住在很远很远的地方。“晚安，奶奶，”米娅小声说，脸上笑眯眯的。
在发光城里，小故障有了自己的小灯，开心极了。她跳着舞，一边转圈，一边转到了大窗户跟前，扑扇扑扇翅膀，呼！一排小灯笼灭了，又一排，最后全都灭了。
屋子里，米娅的屏幕一下子黑了。奶奶不见了！米娅的小嘴巴一撇一撇的。“哎呀，”她说，“我的电脑坏了。”
小故障用翅膀把自己挡起来。“我不是故意的，”她小小声地说。比比扭到她身边：“那我们一起把它们重新点亮吧！”露露也说：“快点，米娅要睡觉了！”
大窗户是一面好大好大的墙，上面全是小小的玻璃灯笼，一排又一排，比天上的星星还要多。比比往上爬，露露往上飞，小故障扑扇着翅膀。“扭扭哇，”比比轻轻地说，“好多好多呀！”
“我知道啦！”比比说着，把够得着的小灯笼全都点亮了，叮，叮，叮，一个不剩！屋子里，米娅的屏幕变得白白的一片。米娅揉揉眼睛：“只有白白的？奶奶呢？”
露露盯着小灯笼看了好久。“画不是把灯全点亮，”她慢慢地说，“有的亮，有的不亮。点亮哪几个，就变成什么画！”小故障拍拍手：“那我们给米娅画一幅她会喜欢的画吧！”
他们决定画一颗爱心。露露飞到最上面，小故障飞到两边，比比沿着最下面扭过去。亮，不亮，不亮，亮。一个灯笼接一个灯笼，一个形状慢慢亮了起来。
“爱心应该是红色的，”小故障说。比比凑近一看，每个灯笼里都有三个小小的玻璃铃铛，一个红的，一个绿的，一个蓝的。他们只敲响红铃铛，爱心就亮成了暖暖的红色。
屋子里，米娅的屏幕上亮起了一颗大大的红心。米娅不哭了，她睁大了眼睛，然后笑得特别特别开心。“你好呀，爱心！”她说，“里面有人吗？”
老拜特慢慢爬了过来。“做得好，小家伙们，”她说，“剩下的，就让大窗户自己想起来吧。”她轻轻敲了敲墙，成千上万个小灯笼一下亮，一下灭，快得谁也数不过来，奶奶的照片又出现了，笑眯眯的。
“晚安，奶奶，”米娅说，“晚安，小爱心。”在发光城里，小故障又跳起了舞，不过这次轻轻的，离大窗户远远的。比比和露露一个扭一个爬，回到了家。晚安，米娅。
