Brief Annotation: Poinsettia is a little girl pig. Her father fixed the two rooms upstairs so her and her sister could have their own rooms. Poinsettia finds that she is scared of being alone in the dark. While being kept awake by noises around the house she spots a fire on the telephone pole outside her house. The firefighters come and put the fire out. Now she is no longer scared because she finds out that she is not the only one awake at night. The firefighter's are too!
