Jaylon Stokes · Answer 1

"The wind dance through the trees."

Explanation:

The sun sinking is just a description of a sunset. The birds taking flight to the sky is just something birds do, not something humans would do. the fireflies buzzing is also just what fireflies do, they flash and buzz and fly. the wind dancing is a personification of wind because dancing is something humans usually would do. The wind isn't actually dancing, it's blowing. but personification makes it sound more interesting to the reader.
