En un largo viaje, el Cocuyo conoce a la vieja Mora, quien le pide que se case con ella. Pero el Cocuyo no quiere enamorarse de una Mora tan vieja y deshojada. Pasado el tiempo, se reencuentran: la Mora es ahora hermosa y el Cocuyo se arrepiente de su decisión.

Este cautivador cuento pemón sobre el amor no correspondido es tomado de la tradición oral y explica el origen de la luz de los cocuyos.

On a long trip, a Firefly comes to rest in an old Raspberry Bush. She asks him to marry her, but the Firefly rejects her love. Later, when the Firefly comes across the Raspberry Bush again, he finds her beautifully transformed and regrets his earlier decision.

This haunting Pemon tale of unrequited love taken from the oral tradition explains how fireflies got their light.
