They told Tommy and Larry to stay away or else they would be in trouble. + +Tommy was sad. He had been so sure no one else would ever find their spot. He told Larry, "We shouldn't have kept our treasures in one place." + +Moral of the story: Don't keep all your treasures in one place; spread them out so they stay safe. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved to move. She could jump, twirl, and even run very fast. One day, she wanted to explore, so she decided to move into a mysterious forest. As she moved closer and closer, a thick mist blanketed the trees. + +The little girl was scared, but she kept moving. Suddenly, something moved in the mist.

I'm here to help you." + +The little girl felt better and followed the reliable voice. As she moved closer, a friendly fox appeared. The fox had moved in the mist to protect the little girl.

Let's go outside and fly your rocket.†+ +So, they went outside and the little boy asked his friend, “Do you want to help me fly my rocket?†+ +The little girl said yes and the two of them spent the day playing with the pink rocket. They had so much fun, they even lost track of time! + +They laughed and talked about their adventures with the rocket until it was time to go home. + +“That was so much fun!†the little girl said as they walked back home. + +The little boy agreed and said, “Let's do it again tomorrow!†+Once there was a little girl named Sophie who loved to drink fresh juice.

He opened his mouth and started to drink the clear water, but he heard a loud voice behind him. + +"Who's there?" the voice said. The fox was so scared, he turned around to see who was talking. He saw an old turtle sitting by the lake. + +"Hello, I'm looking for the oasis to get some water," said the fox. +"You found it!" said the turtle with a smile. + +The fox was so happy he had found an oasis and even a friend in the old turtle.

He asked her why, and she explained that in the park, it's important to respect everyone else's opinion. + +Timmy noticed a big bully demanding that everyone else should do what he thought was right. Timmy's mom got angry and told him she wouldn't let him do that. + +Timmy went up to the bully and said: "Why don't you respect the opinion of others?" + +The bully laughed and said that his opinion was the only one that mattered. He demanded that everyone should do what he said. + +Timmy told the bully that it's important to respect everyone else's opinion. He said that everyone is allowed their own opinion, but no one should demand that others should do something. + +The bully was embarrassed and said he was sorry. He thanked Timmy for teaching him such a valuable lesson and for standing up for what was right. + +This story teaches us an important lesson - we should respect the opinion of others, and no one should demand that others should do something. Respect is what makes our world a better place. +Once upon a time, there was a dry, quiet day. All the animals in the forest were happy and content.

The boy said, "Look dad, it's so clean and shiny!" + +The man said, "Yes, that's because someone gave the park a tip and it was cleaned up." + +The boy was amazed. He wanted to whistle now, too. + +So, the man and the boy both started whistling and they were both so happy. + +They both giggled and kept whistling until it was time to go home. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Lucy. She was three years old and often got scared of the dark. + +One night, Lucy was lying in bed when she heard a voice. It said "Choose one note and you will get your reward".

Then the voice said again "Choose one note!" + +Lucy carefully picked up one note and said "This one!" The voice replied "Very well, here is your reward". + +Suddenly, a bright light filled the hall.

Binky was so relieved, he eventually worked up the courage to hop closer to the owl. He was so friendly that the owl flew down and perched on Binky’s back.

Just stay away from the cage.†Little Pete was curious but he did as he was told. + +A few days later, Little Pete was playing in the meadow when he heard a loud noise.

She will yell at us and maybe hurt us." + +Lily did not listen to Ben. She thought he was just scared. She reached for the rose and pulled it hard. But the rose had many thorns. They pricked Lily's hand and made it bleed. Lily cried out in pain. + +The old lady next door heard Lily's cry. She came out of her house and saw Lily holding her rose. She was very angry. She had an unknown thing in her hand. It looked like a stick with a sharp end. She pointed it at Lily and Ben. + +"Who are you? What are you doing in my garden? How dare you steal my rose? You are bad children. I will teach you a lesson. Come here!" she shouted. + +Lily and Ben were very scared. They dropped the rose and ran away. But the old lady was faster. She caught them and hit them with the unknown thing. It hurt a lot. Lily and Ben screamed and cried. They wished they had listened to Ben. They wished they had not taken the rose. They wished they had not made the old lady angry. They worried that they would never see their mom again. +Tom and Mia lived in a small village with their mom and dad. They liked to play outside with their friends, but sometimes they had to help with chores. One day, mom asked them to go to the market and buy some bread and milk. + +"Be careful, and stay together," mom said. "The market is close, but there are many people and cars." + +Tom and Mia nodded and took a basket. They held hands and walked along the road. They saw some cows, some flowers, and some birds. They said hello to their neighbors. + +When they reached the market, they saw many stalls with different things. They smelled fruits, cheese, and fish. They heard people talking, laughing, and bargaining. They looked for the bread and milk. + +"Here they are," Tom said, pointing to a stall. He gave the seller some coins and took a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk. He put them in the basket. + +"Thank you," Mia said, smiling. + +"You're welcome," the seller said. "You are very polite and dependable children. Your mom must be proud of you." + +Tom and Mia blushed and thanked him again. They turned to go back to the village. + +"Wait," the seller said. "Take this, too." He handed them a small bag of cookies. + +"For us?" Tom asked, surprised. + +"Yes, for you," the seller said. "A gift for being such good customers. Enjoy!" + +Tom and Mia thanked him once more and hugged him. They were very happy and excited. They ran back to the village, holding hands and sharing the cookies. They couldn't wait to tell mom about their adventure. +Sam and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. They liked to run, jump, and march like soldiers. One day, they saw a big dog near the park. The dog was black and brown, and had sharp teeth. Sam and Mia were not afraid of dogs, but they were alert. They knew some dogs were nice, and some dogs were mean. + +"Hello, doggy!" Sam said, and smiled. He wanted to pet the dog, but Mia stopped him. + +"Wait, Sam. We don't know this dog. Maybe he is not friendly. Maybe he will bite us," Mia said, and pulled Sam back. + +The dog looked at Sam and Mia, and growled. He did not like strangers. He did not want to be petted. He wanted to be left alone. He was angry and scared. + +"Go away, doggy! We don't want to play with you!" Mia said, and threw a stick at the dog. She hoped the dog would chase the stick, and leave them alone. + +But the dog did not chase the stick. He chased Mia and Sam. He ran fast, and barked loud. He wanted to catch them, and hurt them. + +Mia and Sam were scared. They ran away, and screamed for help. They tried to find their mom and dad, or someone who could help them. But the dog was faster, and stronger. He caught Sam, and bit his leg. Sam fell down, and cried. Mia tried to help Sam, but the dog bit her arm. Mia fell down, and cried too. + +The dog was not happy. He was still angry and scared. He did not stop biting. He bit Sam and Mia again and again, until they stopped crying. Until they stopped moving. Until they were still and quiet. + +The dog ran away, and hid. He did not want to be found. He did not want to be punished. He did not know what he had done. + +Sam and Mia did not play outside anymore. They did not run, jump, or march like soldiers. They did not smile, or talk, or laugh. They did not do anything. They were gone. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has ice-cream. Sara and Ben love ice-cream. + +"Let's go and get some ice-cream," Sara says. + +"OK," Ben says. + +They run to the truck. The truck man is friendly. He smiles and says, "Hello, kids. What do you want?" + +"I want a cone with chocolate ice-cream," Sara says. + +"I want a cone with vanilla ice-cream," Ben says. + +The truck man gives them their ice-creams. They say, "Thank you." + +They lick their ice-creams. They are yummy. They sit on a bench and enjoy their ice-creams. + +"Hey, Sara," Ben says. "Do you dare to do something?" + +"What?" Sara says. + +"Do you dare to put some ice-cream on your nose?" Ben says. + +Sara laughs. She thinks Ben is funny. She says, "OK, I dare. But you have to do it too." + +"OK, deal," Ben says. + +They put some ice-cream on their noses. They look silly. They giggle and make faces. + +The truck man sees them. He laughs too. He says, "You kids are very brave. Do you want some more ice-cream?" + +Sara and Ben say, "Yes, please." + +The truck man gives them more ice-cream. They say, "Thank you." + +They eat their ice-cream. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play and joke with each other. One day, they were bored at home. They decided to play a game with the couch. + +"Let's pretend the couch is a boat," Tom said. "We can sail to a faraway island and have fun." + +"Okay," Lily said. "But you have to be the captain and I have to be the pirate. I will try to steal your boat." + +They climbed on the couch and pretended to sail. Tom had a hat and a map. Lily had a scarf and a sword. They made noises and faces. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Lily shouted. "I am the clever pirate Lily. I will take your boat and your treasure." + +"No, you won't," Tom said. "I am the brave captain Tom. I will fight you and keep my boat and my treasure." + +They swung their sword and map at each other. They laughed and joked. They had fun. + +But they did not see that their mom was coming. She had a tray with cookies and milk. She wanted to surprise them with a snack. She did not know they were playing on the couch. + +She walked into the living room and saw them. She was angry. She dropped the tray. The cookies and milk spilled on the floor. + +"Tom! Lily!" she yelled. "What are you doing? You are making a mess. You are ruining the couch. You are not supposed to play on the couch. You are in big trouble." + +Tom and Lily stopped playing. They looked at their mom. They looked at the floor. They looked at the couch. They were scared. They were sorry. They did not mean to make their mom angry. They did not mean to ruin the couch. They did not mean to spill the cookies and milk. + +They tried to say sorry. But their mom did not listen. She took them by the hand and dragged them to their room. She locked the door. She said they had to stay there until dinner. She said they had to think about what they did. She said they had to learn their lesson. + +Tom and Lily cried. They hugged each other. They wished they did not play on the couch. They wished they did not joke so much. They wished they had their cookies and milk. They wished their mom was not angry. They wished they could play again. + +But they could not. They had to stay in their room. They had to wait for dinner. They had to be quiet. They had no fun. + +The end. +Lily and her mom went to the big store to buy furniture. They needed a new bed for Lily, because she was too big for her old one. Lily saw many beds in the store, but she liked the one with pink flowers best. + +"Mom, can we buy this bed?" Lily asked, pointing to the bed. + +"Let me see, sweetie," her mom said, looking at the price tag. "Hmm, this bed is very expensive. How about this one?" She showed Lily another bed, with blue stars. + +Lily shook her head. "No, mom, I want the pink one. It is so pretty and cozy." + +Her mom sighed. "I know, honey, but we have to save money. We can't buy everything we want. Maybe we can find something else that you like." + +Lily felt sad. She really wanted the pink bed. She wondered if her mom would ever buy it for her. + +They walked around the store, looking at other furniture. Lily saw a big couch, a round table, and a tall bookshelf. She also saw a small kitchen, with a stove, a sink, and a fridge. It had pots and pans, plates and cups, and fake food. Lily loved to play pretend, and she thought the kitchen was very fun. + +"Mom, look at this!" Lily said, running to the kitchen. "Can we buy this?" + +Her mom smiled. "That is a nice kitchen, Lily. Do you want to play with it for a while?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily said, happily. She put on an apron, and pretended to cook. She made soup, salad, and cake. She invited her mom to join her. + +"Here, mom, have some soup. It is very tasty," Lily said, offering her mom a spoon. + +"Thank you, Lily. Mmm, this is delicious," her mom said, pretending to eat. + +They played for a long time, and had a lot of fun. Lily forgot about the pink bed, and enjoyed the kitchen. She liked to make her mom happy. + +After a while, her mom said, "Lily, it is time to go. We have to buy your bed, remember?" + +Lily nodded. She cleaned up the kitchen, and said goodbye to it. She hoped she could play with it again someday. + +They went back to the bed section, and looked for a bed that they could afford. Lily saw a bed with yellow suns, and thought it was nice. It was not as expensive as the pink bed, but it was still cozy. + +"Mom, how about this bed?" Lily asked. + +Her mom looked at the bed, and smiled. "That is a good choice, Lily. It is bright and cheerful, and it fits our budget. Do you like it?" + +Lily nodded. She liked the yellow bed. She thought it would make her happy. + +"OK, then, let's buy it," her mom said. She paid for the bed, and asked for help to load it in their car. + +They drove home, and set up the bed in Lily's room. Lily put on her pajamas, and climbed into her new bed. She hugged her mom, and said, "Thank you, mom, for buying me this bed. I love you." + +"I love you too, Lily," her mom said, kissing her goodnight. "Sweet dreams." + +Lily closed her eyes, and felt warm and cozy. She dreamed of pink flowers, blue stars, and yellow suns. She was happy. +Ben and Lily liked to play pirates. They had a big box that was their ship. They had hats and swords and a map. The map showed them where to find treasure. They wanted to find the treasure and share it with their friends. + +One day, they sailed their ship to a new island. They followed the map to a big cave. They saw a shiny chest inside the cave. They ran to the chest and opened it. They found gold and jewels and toys. They were very happy. + +But then, they heard a loud roar. A big dragon came out of the cave. It was angry and hungry. It wanted to eat Ben and Lily and their treasure. Ben and Lily were very scared. They grabbed some treasure and ran back to their ship. But the dragon followed them. It breathed fire and smoke. It burned their ship and their map. Ben and Lily were trapped. Their ship and their map were broken. + +They cried for help. They hoped someone would hear them. They hugged each other and prayed. + +Then, they saw a bright light. It was their friend Sam. He had a flashlight and a water gun. He had seen their ship and their map on fire. He came to rescue them. He shone his flashlight at the dragon. The dragon was afraid of the light. It covered its eyes and roared. Sam sprayed his water gun at the dragon. The water made the fire go out. The dragon was wet and cold. It ran away and hid in the cave. + +Sam helped Ben and Lily get out of their ship. He gave them a hug and a smile. He said he was glad they were okay. He said he was sorry their ship and their map were broken. He said he had a new map and a new ship. He said they could use them to find more treasure. He said they could share it with him and their other friends. + +Ben and Lily thanked Sam. They said he was a brave and kind pirate. They said he was their hero. They said they were sorry they lost some treasure. They said they still had some treasure to share. They said they had the best treasure of all. They said they had each other and their friends. + +They followed Sam to his new ship. They sailed away to a new adventure. They were happy and safe. They were pirates. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with flowers and grass. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side. + +They ran up the hill, holding hands. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and shouted. They were happy. + +But when they got to the top of the hill, they saw a big fence. The fence was tall and sharp and had a sign that said "Keep Out". They could not see what was on the other side of the fence. They felt sad and angry. + +"Why can't we go there?" Tim asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe there is something bad there. Maybe there is a monster or a snake or a mean dog." Lily said. + +They looked at the fence and wondered. They wanted to know what was on the other side. They wanted to have more fun. + +Tim had an idea. He saw a hole in the fence. The hole was small and low, but he thought he could fit through it. He let go of Lily's hand and ran to the hole. + +"Tim, wait! Don't go there! It's dangerous!" Lily cried. + +But Tim did not listen. He bent down and crawled through the hole. He felt the fence scratch his arms and legs. He felt a sting and a drop of blood. He did not care. He wanted to see what was on the other side. + +He got through the hole and stood up. He looked around. He saw a big field with trees and rocks and a pond. He saw a band playing music. The band had drums and guitars and horns. The music was loud and fast and fun. He saw people dancing and clapping and smiling. He saw balloons and flags and candy. He thought it was a party. He thought it was the best thing ever. + +He ran to the band and the people and the party. He forgot about Lily and the fence and the hole. He forgot about everything else. + +Lily saw Tim go through the hole and disappear. She felt scared and lonely. She wanted Tim to come back. She wanted to play with him. She wanted to go home. + +She ran to the hole and tried to follow him. But the hole was too small and too low for her. She could not fit through it. She tried to push and pull and wiggle. She could not move. She felt the fence hurt her arms and legs. She felt a sting and a drop of blood. She cried. + +She cried for Tim and for help and for mommy and daddy. She cried loud and hard and long. + +A man heard her cry. He was walking his dog near the park. He saw Lily stuck in the hole and crying. He felt sorry for her. He ran to her and knelt down. He was gentle and kind. He spoke to her softly and calmly. + +"Hello, little girl. What's your name? Why are you crying? Are you hurt?" he asked. + +Lily looked at him. He had a friendly face and a nice voice. He had a big dog that licked her face. She felt a little better. She told him her name and what happened. + +"I'm Lily. I was playing with Tim. He went through the hole and did not come back. I want to go with him. I want to go home. I'm hurt and scared." she said. + +The man nodded and smiled. He took out his phone and called the police. He told them where he was and what he saw. He asked them to come and help. He took out a band-aid and put it on Lily's wound. He gave her a hug and a candy. He told her it was going to be okay. + +"Don't worry, Lily. I'm here with you. The police will come soon and get you out. They will find Tim and take you both home. You are brave and smart and good. Everything will be fine." he said. + +Lily felt a little better. She hugged him and his dog. She thanked him and waited for the police. She hoped Tim was okay. She hoped they would be together again. She hoped they would never go through the hole again. +Mia likes to match things. She has a box of cards with pictures of animals and things. She likes to find two cards that are the same and put them together. She thinks it is fun and easy. + +One day, Mia sees a birdcage in the living room. It is big and shiny and has a door. Inside the birdcage, there is a bird. The bird is pale and has a long tail. It makes a loud noise. Mia thinks the bird is pretty and wants to play with it. + +She goes to her box of cards and looks for a card that matches the bird. She finds one that has a pale bird with a long tail. She is happy and runs to the birdcage. She shows the card to the bird and says, "Look, bird, I have a card that matches you. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The bird looks at the card and at Mia. It does not like the card. It thinks the card is not a real bird. It does not want to be Mia's friend. It makes a louder noise and flaps its wings. It tries to bite the card and Mia's fingers. + +Mia is scared and sad. She drops the card and runs away. She cries and says, "The bird does not like me. The bird does not want to match. The bird is mean." + +Mia's mom hears Mia crying and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the birdcage and the card on the floor. She hugs Mia and says, "I'm sorry, Mia. The bird is not a toy. The bird is a pet. The bird does not understand cards. The bird needs a different kind of friend. Maybe you can find another card that matches something else. Or maybe you can draw a picture of the bird and give it to the bird. Maybe then the bird will like you." + +Mia stops crying and thinks. She says, "Okay, mom. I will try. I still like the bird. I want the bird to like me too." She goes to her box of cards and looks for another match. She hopes the bird will be nice. +Tom had a coin that he liked very much.

They asked Tom to share the coin with them, but Tom said no. He did not want to share his coin. He wanted to own it all by himself. + +This made the other kids sad and angry. They did not want to be friends with Tom anymore. They said he was mean and selfish and greedy. They played with other toys and games and left Tom alone. Tom had his coin, but he had no friends. He was not popular at all. + +Tom felt lonely and bored. He looked at his coin and wondered why it made him so unhappy. He realized that owning the coin was not as fun as sharing it. He decided to change his mind and be nice to the other kids. + +He went to the other kids and said he was sorry. He said he would share his coin with them and let them see it and touch it and play with it. He said he wanted to be friends with them and have fun with them. The other kids were surprised and happy.

They did not like the truck. They asked their mom why the truck was so rude. Their mom said, "Some people are rude because they are in a hurry or they are unhappy.

He says, "Please, give me that piece of wood. I want to use it for my tower." Sara looks at the piece of wood. She does not think it is a good block. She thinks it is dirty and weak. She says, "No, you cannot have it. It is not a block. It is trash. It will break your tower." + +Ben does not listen to Sara. He wants the piece of wood very much. He gets up and runs to get it. He does not see the toy car on the floor. He steps on it and slips. He falls down and hits his head. He cries out loud. + +Sara hears Ben cry. She feels sorry for him. She runs to him and hugs him. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay? Do you want a band-aid?" Ben nods. He feels hurt and weak. He says, "I'm sorry, too. I was silly. I should have listened to you. The piece of wood was not a good block. It was trash." Sara smiles. She says, "It's okay. We can share my blocks. We can build a tower together." Ben smiles, too. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend." They hug again and go back to play with the blocks. +Anna liked to speak to her toys. She had a bear, a doll, and a frog. She gave them names and voices. She pretended they were her friends. + +One day, she was playing with them in the kitchen. She saw a big pot on the stove. It smelled good. She asked her mom, "What is that?" + +Mom said, "That is soup. It is for dinner. Do you want to try some?" + +Anna nodded. She loved soup. Mom gave her a small bowl and a spoon. Anna took a sip. It was hot and tasty. She said, "Mmm, this is good soup. Do you want some, bear?" + +She held the spoon to the bear's mouth. The bear did not open his mouth. Anna was confused. She said, "Bear, why don't you want soup? Soup is good. Don't you like soup?" + +She tried the doll and the frog. They did not open their mouths either. Anna was more confused. She said, "Doll, frog, why don't you want soup? Soup is good. Don't you like soup?" + +She looked at her mom. Mom smiled. She said, "Anna, your toys can't eat soup. They are not real. They can't speak or open their mouths. Only you can do that." + +Anna thought for a moment. She said, "But they speak to me. They are my friends. They have names and voices." + +Mom said, "That's because you have a big imagination. You make them speak in your mind. That's fun. But they can't really speak or eat. Only people and animals can do that." + +Anna understood. She said, "Oh, I see. So they don't need soup. But I do. Can I have more soup, please?" + +Mom said, "Of course, you can. You are a good girl. And you have good friends. Even if they are only toys." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside when the weather is nice. Today, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. They go to the park with their moms. + +"Look, Lily, a swing!" Ben says. He runs to the swing and sits on it. He pushes himself with his feet and goes up and down. + +"Can I have a turn, Ben?" Lily asks. She likes swings too. She waits for Ben to stop. + +Ben smiles and says, "Sure, Lily. You can have a turn. We can share the swing. Sharing is good." + +He gets off the swing and helps Lily get on. He pushes her gently and she laughs. They take turns on the swing and have fun. + +Their moms watch them and are grateful. They are grateful for the weather, for the park, and for their children. They are grateful for their friendship. They hug each other and say, "We are lucky to have each other." +Anna liked to play doctor with her toys. She had a white coat, a stethoscope, and a big book of pictures. She also had a pink x-ray machine that made funny noises. She pretended to check her toys for broken bones and give them bandages. + +One day, she asked her brother Ben to join her game. Ben was older and liked to play with cars and robots. He said no, he was too busy. Anna felt sad. She wanted to show him her x-ray machine and how it worked. She thought maybe he would like it if he saw it. + +She had an idea. She waited until Ben left his room to get a snack. She sneaked in and took his favorite robot. She ran back to her room and put it in her x-ray machine. She turned it on and waited for the picture to come out. + +But something went wrong. The x-ray machine made a loud beep and a flash. Smoke came out of it. Anna was scared. She took out the robot and saw that it was melted and black. She had broken it. She knew Ben would be very angry. + +She heard Ben coming back. She hid the robot under her bed and pretended to read her book. Ben came in and looked for his robot. He asked Anna if she had seen it. Anna said no, she did not. She hoped he would not find it. She felt very bad. She wished she had not taken his robot. She wished she had asked him nicely to join her game. She wished she had a different x-ray machine. A pink one. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the garden. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They liked to pretend that the doll and the car were friends and went on adventures together. + +One day, a big boy came to the garden. He saw Lily and Tom and their toys. He wanted to play with them, but he was not nice. He said, "Your toys are stupid. They are old and dirty. My toys are better. They are new and shiny. Give me your toys and I will give you mine." + +Lily and Tom did not like the big boy. They did not want to give him their toys. They said, "No, thank you. We like our toys. They are not stupid. They are fun and we value them. They are our friends. We do not want your toys. They are not nice. They are mean and you are mean." + +The big boy got angry. He tried to grab Lily's doll and Tom's car. Lily and Tom held on to their toys and shouted, "Stop! Go away! Leave us alone!" + +The big boy did not stop. He pulled and pushed and kicked. He was very rude. He made Lily and Tom cry. He made their toys fall on the ground. + +Then, Lily's mom and Tom's dad came to the garden. They saw what the big boy was doing. They were very mad. They said, "What are you doing? How dare you hurt Lily and Tom and their toys? You are a very bad boy. You should be ashamed of yourself. Go home and do not come back." + +The big boy was scared. He ran away. He did not say sorry. He did not take his toys. He left them on the ground. + +Lily's mom and Tom's dad picked up Lily and Tom and their toys. They hugged them and kissed them. They said, "Are you okay? We are sorry that the big boy was so mean to you. You are very brave and kind. We are proud of you. We love you and we value you. You are our friends." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They said, "Thank you, mom and dad. We love you and we value you too. You are our friends." + +They went inside the house. They put their toys on a post. They said, "You are our friends too. We are sorry that the big boy was so mean to you. We value you and we will take care of you." + +They played with their toys happily. They forgot about the big boy. They had fun and they were happy. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big cable hanging from a tree. It looks like a snake, but it is not. It is harmless. + +"Let's catch the cable!" Lily says. "It will be fun!" + +Ben nods. He likes to catch things. They run to the tree and grab the cable. They pull and swing on it. They laugh and shout. + +But then, the cable breaks. It makes a loud noise. Lily and Ben fall to the ground. They are scared and hurt. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cries. "My knee is bleeding!" + +"Me too!" Ben says. "My elbow is sore!" + +They look at the cable. It is not harmless. It is bad. It has wires and sparks inside. It is dangerous. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Ben call. "We need help!" + +A man hears them. He is a worker. He is fixing the cable. He runs to them. He sees the broken cable and the children. + +"Oh no!" he says. "What have you done? This cable is very important. It gives power to the lights and the machines. You should not touch it. It can hurt you." + +He picks up Lily and Ben. He takes them to his truck. He gives them bandages and water. He calls their parents. He is sorry and angry. + +Lily and Ben are sorry and ashamed. They did not know. They just wanted to play. They learned a lesson. They will never catch a cable again. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys in their room. Some toys are big and strong. Some toys are small and fragile. Fragile means they can break easily. + +One day, Ben and Mia are bored. They want to do something new. They see a book on the shelf. The book has numbers and shapes. The book is called math. Math is what big kids learn at school. + +"Let's do math!" Ben says. He takes the book and opens it. He sees a page with a long snake. The snake has numbers on its body. The book says: "Stretch the snake and count the numbers." + +"Wow, that looks fun!" Mia says. She wants to try too. She grabs the other end of the book and pulls it. Ben and Mia stretch the book as much as they can. They count the numbers on the snake. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" they say together. + +But the book is fragile. It is not meant to be stretched. The book rips in the middle. The snake breaks into two pieces. Ben and Mia are shocked. They hear a loud voice. It is their mom. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. She sees the broken book. She is angry. "That is my math book. It is not a toy. It is fragile. You should not stretch it. You should be careful with books. They are for reading, not for tearing." + +Ben and Mia are sorry. They did not know. They say: "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to do math. We did not mean to break your book. Can you fix it?" + +Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she is not mad anymore. She says: "I can try to fix it. But you have to promise me something. Next time, if you want to do math, ask me first. I can show you how to do math without breaking books. Math can be fun, but you have to respect the books. They are fragile, but they are also valuable. They have many things to teach you." + +Ben and Mia nod. They say: "We promise, Mom. We will ask you next time. We will respect the books. We want to learn math. We want to be smart like you." + +Mom smiles. She hugs them. She says: "I love you, Ben and Mia. You are smart and curious. You can learn math and many other things. But you have to be gentle and careful. Fragile things can break, but they can also be beautiful and useful." +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with trains. They had a big train set with many tracks and cars and a toy engine that made noise. They pretended to be drivers and passengers and had fun. + +One day, their dad brought home a surprise. He had a big bag of coal for their train. He said coal was what old trains used to make fire and steam. He showed them how to put some coal in the engine and light it with a match. Then the engine started to puff and chug and move on the tracks. + +Tim and Sam were very excited. They wanted to try the coal train. They took turns to fill the engine with more coal and watch the smoke come out. They made the train go faster and slower and stop at different stations. They had a lot of fun. + +But after a while, they noticed something. The engine was getting very hot and dry. It needed water to make steam. They looked for a water bottle or a cup, but they could not find any. They started to worry. What if the engine stopped working or broke down? + +Then Sam had an idea. He ran to the kitchen and got a glass of milk. He came back and said to Tim, "Let's give the engine some milk. Maybe it will like it and keep going." + +Tim was not sure. He said, "But milk is not water. Milk is for drinking, not for trains. What if the engine does not like it and gets sick?" + +Sam said, "It's worth a try. We have nothing else. Come on, let's do it." + +They poured some milk into the engine and waited. The engine made a funny noise and spat out some milk. Then it stopped puffing and chug +Jen and Ben are twins. They like to play with blocks. They make towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They have fun. + +One day, they find a new toy in their room. It is a zigzag. It is a long and bendy thing that can change shape. It can be a circle, a square, a snake, or anything they want. They are happy. + +They take turns with the zigzag. Jen makes a heart with it and says, "This is for you, Ben. You are my lovely brother." Ben makes a star with it and says, "This is for you, Jen. You are my lovely sister." They hug and smile. + +But then, they both want to make something else with the zigzag. Jen wants to make a flower. Ben wants to make a rocket. They pull and tug on the zigzag. They say, "No, it's mine!" They are angry. + +They hear a snap. The zigzag breaks in two. They are sad. They look at the broken zigzag. They look at each other. They say, "I'm sorry. I was mean. Can we share?" They are sorry. + +They nod and hug. They take the pieces of the zigzag and make new things. Jen makes a butterfly. Ben makes a car. They say, "Look, we can still play with the zigzag. It can change again." They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. But today it is very hot. The sun is bright and makes them sweat. + +"Let's find some shade," Tom says. "We can rest under a tree." + +"OK," Sue says. "But where is a tree? I only see grass and flowers." + +They look around. They see a big hill. On top of the hill, there is a thin tree. It has green leaves and brown bark. + +"Look, there is a tree!" Tom says. "Let's go there." + +They run to the hill. They climb up. They are tired and thirsty. They reach the tree. They sit under it. They feel the cool breeze. They see the blue sky. + +"Ah, this is nice," Sue says. "The tree gives us shade. We are not hot anymore." + +"Yes, it is nice," Tom says. "The tree is our friend. It helps us." + +They smile. They hug the tree. They thank the tree. They unite with the tree. They are happy. +Sara and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they saw a big vase on the table. It was shiny and pretty. They both wanted to touch it. + +"I want to see the vase!" Sara said. + +"No, I want to see it!" Ben said. + +They both reached for the vase. They pulled and pulled. The vase was heavy. It slipped from their hands. It fell on the floor. It split into many pieces. + +"Oh no!" Sara and Ben said. + +Mom heard the noise. She came into the living room. She saw the broken vase. She was angry. + +"Who did this?" Mom asked. + +Sara and Ben looked at each other. They were scared. They did not want to tell the truth. + +"It was Sara!" Ben said. + +"No, it was Ben!" Sara said. + +They both blamed each other. They were selfish. They did not want to get in trouble. + +Mom shook her head. She was sad. + +"That vase was a gift from Grandma. She loved it very much. You should not have touched it. You should not have lied. You should have shared. You are both naughty. You need to say sorry and clean up the mess." Mom said. + +Sara and Ben felt bad. They knew they did wrong. They said sorry to Mom. They said sorry to each other. They helped to clean up the mess. They learned to be more careful and more kind. They hugged Mom and each other. They promised to do better. Mom forgave them. She loved them very much. +Lily was playing with her doll in the garden. She liked to pretend that her doll was sick and she was a doctor. She had a toy stethoscope and a bandage. She put the stethoscope on her doll's chest and said, "Don't worry, you will be fine. I will take care of you." + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was an ambulance. It had a red light and a siren. It stopped in front of her neighbor's house. Lily saw two men get out of the ambulance. They had white clothes and a big bag. They ran to the door and knocked. + +Lily was curious. She left her doll on the grass and ran to the fence. She saw the men come out of the house with a stretcher. On the stretcher was an old lady. She was Lily's neighbor, Mrs. Jones. She looked very weak and pale. She had a mask on her face and a tube in her arm. + +"Where are they taking her?" Lily asked one of the men. + +"They are taking her to the hospital, sweetie. She is very sick and needs help," the man said. + +"Will she be okay?" Lily asked. + +"We hope so. We will do our best to make her better," the man said. + +Lily felt sad. She liked Mrs. Jones. She often gave her cookies and read her stories. She wanted her to be well. + +"Can I do something for her?" Lily asked. + +The man smiled. He bent down and gave Lily a hug. + +"You can do something very important for her. You can pray for her and send her your love. She will feel it and it will help her heal," he said. + +Lily nodded. She hugged the man back and said, "Thank you. I will do that. I care for her very much." + +The man kissed her cheek and said, "You are a very sweet and kind girl. I'm sure she cares for you too." + +Then he got in the ambulance with the other man and Mrs. Jones. The ambulance drove away with the siren and the red light. + +Lily watched it go. She felt a tear roll down her cheek. She whispered, "Get well soon, Mrs. Jones. I love you." + +Then she went back to her doll and picked her up. She hugged her and said, "Don't worry, you will be fine. I will take care of you." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. Lily had a big red balloon. She tied it to her wrist with a string. She did not want to lose it. + +"Look, Ben, my balloon is so high!" Lily said. She pointed to the sky. "It can touch the moon!" + +Ben laughed. He did not think Lily was right. "No, Lily, your balloon is not that high. The moon is very far away. You are silly!" + +Lily felt sad. She did not like Ben's words. She thought he was mean. She wanted to show him that her balloon was high. She let go of the string. She hoped her balloon would fly to the moon. + +But the balloon did not fly to the moon. It flew away with the wind. Lily watched it go. She felt sorry. She wished she had not let go of the string. She wanted her balloon back. + +"Ha ha, Lily, you are stupid!" Ben said. He pointed to the balloon. "You lost your balloon! Now you have nothing!" + +Lily cried. She did not like Ben. She did not want to play with him. She ran to her mom. She hugged her mom. She told her what happened. + +Her mom was kind. She wiped Lily's tears. She gave her a kiss. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. You are not silly or stupid. You are smart and brave. You tried something new. Sometimes we make mistakes. That's how we learn. And you still have me. I love you." + +Lily smiled. She felt better. She loved her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. Can we get another balloon?" + +Her mom nodded. She said, "Yes, we can. But this time, let's keep it tied to your wrist. OK?" + +Lily agreed. She said, "OK, mom. Let's go get another balloon. A blue one. Like the sky. And the moon." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the pool. Lily can swim very well. Ben is learning to swim. He is persistent. He tries hard every day. + +One day, Lily and Ben see a big piece of cheese floating in the pool. They are curious. They want to taste it. They swim towards it. + +"Who put cheese in the pool?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it fell from the sky," Ben says. + +They reach the cheese. They take a bite. It is not cheese. It is soap. It tastes bad. They spit it out. + +"Yuck! This is not cheese. This is soap. It makes bubbles in my mouth," Lily says. + +"Me too. It is icky. Let's throw it away," Ben says. + +They throw the soap out of the pool. They rinse their mouths with water. They laugh. + +"That was a silly cheese. It tricked us," Lily says. + +"Yes, it did. But we are smart. We know cheese is not soap," Ben says. + +They swim away. They have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Lily liked to play with the computer. They liked to watch funny videos and play games. But they had to share the computer, because it was rare and expensive.

He had a long stick in his hand. He saw the children and smiled. + +"Hello, little ones. What are you doing?" he asked. + +"We want a peach from the tree, but we can't reach them," Tim said. + +The old man nodded. He said, "I can help you. I have a stick that can knock down a peach for you. But first, you have to answer a question. Do you know what makes a person wise?" + +Tim and Mia thought hard. They remembered what their parents and teachers had told them. + +Tim said, "A person is wise if they listen and learn." + +Mia said, "A person is wise if they are kind and fair." + +The old man smiled again. He said, "You are both right. You are smart and good children. Here, let me get you a peach." + +He used his stick to hit a peach from the tree. It fell on the ground and rolled to Tim and Mia.

A big crocodile comes out of the water and snaps Tom with its teeth. Tom is gone. Mia is very sad and scared. She cries and cries. She wishes she could bring Tom back to life. But she can't. The pond is too scary and dangerous. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hole in the ground. It looked like a pit. + +"Let's go and see what's in there," Tom said. He was brave and curious. + +"No, Tom, it's too dark and scary," Lily said. She was afraid and careful. + +"Come on, Lily, don't be a baby," Tom said. He ran to the pit and looked inside. + +Lily followed him slowly. She did not want to lose her friend. She saw Tom bend over the edge of the pit. He gasped and trembled. + +"What is it, Tom? What do you see?" Lily asked. + +Tom did not answer. He was too scared. He saw a big snake in the pit. It had red eyes and sharp teeth. It hissed and coiled. + +The snake jumped out of the pit and bit Tom on the leg. Tom screamed and fell to the ground. He was hurt and bleeding. + +Lily cried and ran to help him. She called for help. She hoped someone would come and save them. + +But no one came. The snake was hungry and angry. It wrapped itself around Tom and Lily. It squeezed them hard. They could not breathe. They could not move. They could not talk. + +The snake ate them both. It was not nice. It was mean and cruel. + +The end. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their friends. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They were a happy group of children. + +But then, a big dog came out of nowhere. It was fierce and loud. It barked and growled at the children. It wanted to bite them. The children were scared and ran away. But Lila and Ben were too slow. The dog caught them and bit their legs. They cried and fell down. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "The dog is hurting us!" + +Some grown-ups heard them and came to help. They chased away the dog and picked up Lila and Ben. They took them to a place where they could heal. It was called a hospital. There, some nice people in white clothes looked at their wounds and put some bandages on them. They gave them some medicine and some juice. They told them they would be fine soon. + +Lila and Ben felt better. They thanked the nice people and hugged each other. They missed their friends and wanted to go back to the park. But they had to stay in the hospital for a while. They were brave and patient. + +Their friends came to visit them. They brought them some flowers and some toys. They said they were sorry and they hoped they would heal fast. They told them they were still their friends and they loved them. They played some games and told some jokes. They made Lila and Ben smile and laugh. + +Lila and Ben were happy. They had a good group of friends. They knew they would heal soon and play in the park again. They knew they would not be afraid of the fierce dog anymore. They knew they were strong and safe. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with a big ball. They bounce the ball to each other. Sometimes the ball goes too high or too far. Then they run to get it. + +One day, they find a bunch of grapes on the table. They are purple and shiny. Anna and Ben want to eat them. They each take one grape and put it in their mouth. They are sweet and juicy. + +"Let's play with the grapes!" Ben says. He throws a grape in the air and tries to catch it with his mouth. He misses and the grape falls on the floor. + +Anna laughs. She tries to do the same. She throws a grape in the air and opens her mouth. But the grape bounces off her nose and lands on the sofa. + +"It's difficult to catch the grapes!" Anna says. + +They try again and again. But they can't catch any grapes. The grapes bounce everywhere. Some bounce on the table, some bounce on the chairs, some bounce on the windows. + +Soon, there are no more grapes on the bunch. Anna and Ben look around. They see grapes all over the room. They also see their mom coming in. + +"Uh-oh," they say. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a big feather on the grass. It is white and smooth and soft. + +"Wow, look at this feather!" Tom says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can I touch it?" Mia asks. "It looks so nice!" + +Tom gives the feather to Mia. She rubs it on her cheek and smiles. "It feels so good!" + +They take the feather to their playroom. They want to make something with it. They look for paper, glue, scissors and crayons. + +"I know!" Tom says. "Let's make a bird!" + +"OK!" Mia says. "That sounds fun!" + +They cut out a bird shape from the paper. They glue the feather on the tail. They draw eyes, a beak and wings with the crayons. They are very careful and happy. + +They complete their bird. They hold it up and admire it. It is colorful and cute. + +"We did it!" Tom says. "We made a bird with the feather!" + +"We are so clever!" Mia says. "Let's show it to Mom and Dad!" + +They run to their parents and show them their bird. Mom and Dad are proud and surprised. + +"What a beautiful bird!" Mom says. "You are very creative!" + +"Where did you find the feather?" Dad asks. "It is so smooth!" + +Tom and Mia tell them about the feather on the grass. They say they want to find more feathers and make more things. + +Mom and Dad hug them and praise them. They say they can go to the park and look for more feathers. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They love their bird and their feather. They can't wait to play and create more. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big hole near a tree. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's go and look," Tim said. He was brave and curious. + +"OK, but be careful," Lily said. She was a little scared and careful. + +They walked to the hole and leaned over to see. It was dark and deep. They could not see the bottom. They heard a strange noise. It sounded like a growl. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. She felt a shiver. + +"I don't know," Tim said. He felt a shiver too. + +They saw something move in the hole. It was white and furry. It had big teeth and claws. It was a bear! + +The bear saw them and roared. It was angry and hungry. It wanted to come out of the hole. + +"Run!" Tim shouted. He grabbed Lily's hand and ran away. + +The bear tried to follow them, but it was too big for the hole. It got stuck and growled some more. + +Tim and Lily ran to their mom and dad. They told them about the bear in the hole. + +"Wow, that was a close call," their dad said. He hugged them and praised them for being smart and fast. + +"Maybe the bear lives underground," their mom said. She kissed them and comforted them. + +"Maybe, but we don't want to see it again," Tim said. + +"Me neither," Lily said. + +They decided to play somewhere else in the park. They stayed away from the hole and the bear. They had fun and felt safe. +Sara likes to dance. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the kitchen. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. She dances with her dolls, her teddy, and her hanger. + +One day, Sara finds a new hanger in her closet. It is shiny and has a big bow on it. Sara thinks it is very pretty. She takes it and says, "Hello, hanger. Do you want to dance with me?" + +The hanger does not say anything, but Sara does not mind. She puts the hanger on her head and spins around. She sings a song and makes the hanger fly in the air. She has a lot of fun. + +But then, Sara hears a knock on the door. It is her mom. She comes in and sees Sara and the hanger. She smiles and says, "Sara, what are you doing?" + +Sara stops dancing and says, "I am dancing with my new friend, hanger. He is very kind and pretty. Can I keep him, mom?" + +Mom looks at the hanger and sees that it has a tag on it. It says, "To Sara, from Grandma. Happy birthday, my sweet girl. I hope you like this hanger. It is special and magical. It can make you dance and smile. Love, Grandma." + +Mom reads the tag and says, "Oh, Sara, this is a gift from Grandma. She sent it to you for your birthday. She loves you very much and wants you to be happy. This is a very special hanger indeed." + +Sara hugs the hanger and says, "Thank you, Grandma. Thank you, mom. I love you both. And I love my hanger. He is my best friend. Can we dance some more, mom?" + +Mom nods and says, "Of course, Sara. Let's dance together. And maybe we can call Grandma and thank her for the hanger. I am sure she would love to hear your voice and see your smile." + +Sara, mom, and the hanger dance and laugh. They are very happy. They are a kind and loving family. And they have a magical hanger that can make them dance and smile. +Sam and Mia like to go to the park with Mom. They run and play on the swings and slides. They see many green things in the park. Green grass, green trees, green frogs. They like green. + +One day, they see a big truck in the park. It is not green. It is red and yellow and blue. It has a big arm that moves up and down. It makes a loud noise. Sam and Mia are curious. They want to see what the truck is doing. + +Mom says, "Be careful. The truck is in motion. It can hurt you if you get too close." She holds their hands and walks with them to the truck. They see a man in the truck. He is wearing a hard hat and a bright vest. He smiles and waves at them. + +He says, "Hello, kids. I am working in the park. I am digging a hole for a new fountain. Do you want to see?" He shows them the hole and the water pipes. He says, "The fountain will make the park more beautiful. It will spray water in the air. It will have lights and colors. Do you like fountains?" + +Sam and Mia nod. They like fountains. They say, "Thank you, mister. You are making the park nice." The man says, "You are welcome, kids. Enjoy the park. But remember, stay away from the truck when it is in motion. It is dangerous." He goes back to his work. + +Sam and Mia go back to their play. They have fun in the park. They look forward to seeing the new fountain. They think it will be green. They like green. +Lily liked to clap her hands. She clapped when she was happy, when she saw something funny, or when she wanted to make noise. She clapped so much that her hands were red and sore. + +One day, she saw a big bird in the park. It had a long neck and colorful feathers. Lily thought it was pretty and wanted to clap for it. But the bird did not like the noise. It turned around and pecked Lily on the nose. + +Lily cried and ran to her mom. Her mom hugged her and kissed her nose. She said, "That bird was not normal. It was mean and rude. You should not clap for mean birds. You should clap for nice things, like flowers and stars and friends." + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She saw a flower on the ground and picked it up. She gave it to her mom and said, "I clap for you, Mom. You are nice and sweet and normal." + +Her mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. I clap for you, too. You are brave and smart and normal." They clapped their hands together and laughed. The bird flew away and did not bother them anymore. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to dig in the dirt and find shiny things. Sometimes they found rocks, sometimes they found coins, sometimes they found buttons. + +One day, they found something very shiny and round. It was not a rock, or a coin, or a button. It was copper. Lily and Ben were very happy. They thought it was a treasure. + +They ran to show their mom. "Look, mom, look what we found!" they shouted. "It is copper, it is very shiny and pretty!" + +Mom looked at the copper. She frowned. She knew what it was. It was not a treasure. It was a lid from a can. Someone had thrown it in the yard. + +Mom was not happy. She was angry. She said, "Lily and Ben, this is not copper. This is trash. This is not shiny and pretty. This is dirty and sharp. You should not play with this. You could hurt yourself. And you should not dig in the dirt. You could find more trash. Or worse, you could find bugs or worms. Yuck!" + +Lily and Ben were sad. They were ashamed. They did not know it was trash. They thought it was copper. They thought it was a treasure. They did not want to hurt themselves. They did not want to find bugs or worms. They said, "Sorry, mom, we did not know. We will not play with this. We will not dig in the dirt. We will find something else to play with." + +Mom hugged them. She said, "It's okay, Lily and Ben. I know you did not mean to do anything bad. You were just curious. But you have to be careful. And you have to listen to me. I will help you find something else to play with. Something safe and fun. How about we go to the park and play on the swings?" + +Lily and Ben smiled. They said, "Yes, mom, we would like that. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom." + +Mom smiled too. She said, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. Now let's go to the park and have some fun." +Lily and Tom were very hot and thirsty. They were walking in the sand with their dad. They wanted to find water and shade. They saw some green trees and a blue lake far away. "Look, dad, an oasis!" Lily said. "Can we go there?" + +"Yes, we can, but we have to be careful. There might be animals or people there who don't want to share," dad said. He held their hands and walked faster. + +When they got to the oasis, they saw a camel and a man. The man was wearing a big hat and a long robe. He was sitting under a palm tree. He saw them and smiled. "Hello, friends. Welcome to my oasis. Do you need water?" he asked. + +"Yes, please. We are very thirsty. Thank you for being kind," dad said. He and the children drank some water from a jug. The man gave them some dates and bread. "You are very hungry, too. Eat and rest. You can stay here as long as you want," he said. + +Lily and Tom smiled. They liked the man and the camel. They played with them and ate some more. They felt happy and safe. They thought the oasis was a wonderful place. They did not know that it was very ordinary for the man. He lived there all the time. He was glad to have some visitors. He liked to share his oasis. +Sara liked to examine things. She liked to look at them, touch them, smell them, and sometimes taste them. She examined flowers, rocks, bugs, and toys. She was very curious and wanted to learn. + +One day, she found a shiny thing in the grass. It was round and hard and had a hole in it. She wondered what it was. She picked it up and examined it. It felt cold and smooth. She put it to her ear and heard a voice. + +"Hello, hello, hello," the voice said. It sounded funny and echoed. Sara giggled. She liked the voice. She wanted to talk to it. + +"Hello, voice," she said. "Who are you? Where are you?" + +"I am a coin, a coin, a coin," the voice said. "I am in your hand, your hand, your hand." + +Sara was amazed. She had never heard a coin talk before. She wanted to show it to her mom. She ran to the house, holding the coin tightly. + +"Mom, mom, mom," she shouted. "Look what I found. It is a coin and it can talk. Listen, listen, listen." + +She put the coin to her mom's ear and waited for the voice. But there was no voice. There was only silence. + +"Sweetie, this is just a coin," her mom said. "It can't talk. You must have imagined it." + +Sara felt sad and confused. She was sure the coin had talked to her. She looked at the coin again and saw something she had not noticed before. There was a tiny hole in the other side of the coin. She realized that the voice had come from a small speaker inside the coin. Someone had tricked her. She felt angry and betrayed. + +She threw the coin on the floor and stomped on it. She heard a crack and a hiss. The coin broke and smoke came out of it. She had ruined the coin and the voice. + +She started to cry. She had lost her new friend and her mom did not believe her. She wished she had never examined the coin. She was not proud of herself. She was ashamed. +Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big rainbow in the sky. It was very pretty and had many colors. + +"Look, a rainbow!" Mia said. "I want to touch it!" + +"Me too!" Tom said. "Let's go and find it!" + +They ran across the grass, holding their toys. They wanted to see where the rainbow ended. Maybe there was a pot of gold or a fairy or a unicorn. + +But as they got closer, they saw that the rainbow was very far away. They could not reach it. They felt sad and angry. + +"It's not fair!" Mia said. "The rainbow is too high!" + +"Maybe we can make it come down!" Tom said. He threw his toy car at the rainbow. It did not work. The car fell on the ground. + +"Hey, that's my car!" Mia said. She grabbed it from Tom. "You can't throw my car!" + +"Yes, I can!" Tom said. He tried to take it back. "It's my turn!" + +They started to fight over the car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the big cloud that was coming. It was dark and gray and had rain. + +Soon, the rain started to fall. It was cold and wet and made them stop fighting. They looked up and saw that the rainbow was gone. They felt sorry and silly. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Mia said. "I should not have taken your car." + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Tom said. "I should not have thrown your car." + +They hugged and said they were still friends. They ran back to their moms, who were waiting for them. They told them about the rainbow and the rain and the car. + +Their moms smiled and said they were glad they made up. They gave them a fit coat and a fit hat to keep them warm and dry. They said they could play again tomorrow, if the sun came out. + +Tom and Mia hoped the sun would come out. They also hoped they would see another rainbow. But they knew they would not fight over it. They learned that rainbows are better to look at than to touch. And that friends are better than toys. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a long, pink rag that she liked to pretend was a scarf. Ben had a big, blue truck that he liked to drive around. They were having fun until Ben saw Sara's rag and wanted it. + +"Give me your rag!" Ben said to Sara. + +"No, it's mine!" Sara said to Ben. + +"Why?" Ben asked. + +"Because it's pretty and soft and I like it," Sara explained. + +"But I want it too," Ben said. "It can be a flag for my truck." + +He tried to grab the rag from Sara, but she held on tight. They started to pull and tug on the rag, making loud noises. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said, coming into the room. "What are you doing?" + +"Sara won't share her rag with me," Ben said. + +"Ben tried to take my rag from me," Sara said. + +Mom looked at them with a stern face. "You both need to learn to share and be nice to each other. Rag is just a thing. Friends are more important. How would you feel if someone took your toy away?" + +Sara and Ben thought for a moment. They felt sorry for being mean to each other. + +"I'm sorry, Sara," Ben said. "You can have your rag back." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Sara said. "You can play with my rag if you want." + +They hugged and smiled. Mom was happy to see them make up. + +"That's better," she said. "Now, why don't you play together nicely? I'll make you some cookies for a snack." + +Sara and Ben nodded and went back to their toys. They decided to use the rag as a bridge for the truck. They were having fun again until they heard a loud rip. They looked at the rag and saw that it was torn in half. + +"Oh no!" Sara cried. + +"Oh no!" Ben cried. + +They had pulled the rag too hard and broke it. They felt sad and angry. They blamed each other for the rag's ruin. + +"It's your fault!" Sara said to Ben. + +"No, it's your fault!" Ben said to Sara. + +They started to fight again, hitting and kicking each other. Mom heard the noise and came back into the room. She saw the rag and the children. + +"What happened?" she asked. + +"They broke my rag!" Sara said. + +"They broke my flag!" Ben said. + +Mom was very disappointed and angry. She took away their toys and sent them to their rooms. She told them they had to stay there until they learned to share and be nice to each other. + +Sara and Ben went to their rooms, crying and sulking. They wished they had listened to Mom and not fought over the rag. They realized they had lost their toy and their friend. They felt lonely and sorry. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and selfish. Share and be nice to your friends. Things can break, but friends can last. +Anna and Ben are friends. They live in a big city. The city has many cars and buses and buildings. Anna and Ben like to play in the park. The park has green grass and trees and flowers. + +One day, Anna and Ben have a picnic in the park. They have sandwiches and juice and cookies. They share their food and talk and laugh. They see a bird and a squirrel and a dog. They say hello to the animals. + +After the picnic, Anna and Ben have fun on the swings and the slide and the seesaw. They go up and down and back and forth. They feel happy and free. They sing and shout and giggle. + +The sun is shining and the sky is blue. Anna and Ben have a good day in the park. They love the park and the city. They hug and say goodbye. They go home with their moms and dads. They have a nap and dream of the park. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Queen Rose. Queen Rose had a pink dress, a shiny crown and long hair. Lily loved to comb her hair and make her talk. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Queen Rose. She saw some other kids playing with balls and bikes. They looked like they were having fun. Lily wanted to join them and make new friends. + +She asked her mom, "Can I play with them, please?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, honey, but be careful and don't lose Queen Rose. She is very special to you." + +Lily nodded and ran to the other kids. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Can I play with you?" + +The other kids looked at her and laughed. They said, "No, you can't. You are too little and you have a silly doll. We don't like dolls. We like balls and bikes. Go away!" + +Lily felt sad and hurt. She said, "But I want to play with you. Please, let me join. Queen Rose is not silly. She is a queen. She is very popular and nice." + +The other kids laughed louder. They said, "A queen? Ha ha ha! That's a stupid name for a doll. She is not popular. She is ugly and boring. Watch this!" + +One of the kids grabbed Queen Rose from Lily's hands and threw her in the air. Queen Rose flew high and then fell on the ground. Her dress ripped, her crown broke and her hair tangled. Lily screamed and ran to get her. She picked her up and hugged her. She cried, "Queen Rose, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. You are my best friend. I love you." + +The other kids kept laughing and pointing at her. They said, "Look at her. She is crying over a doll. What a baby. Go home, baby. You don't belong here." + +Lily felt very bad. She wished she never tried to join them. She wished she stayed with her mom and played with Queen Rose. She ran back to her mom and showed her what happened. Her mom was angry and sad. She said, "Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. Those kids were very mean and rude. They should not have done that. Queen Rose is a beautiful doll and you are a wonderful girl. Come on, let's go home and fix her. We don't need them. We have each other." + +Lily nodded and snuggled with her mom and Queen Rose. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love Queen Rose. She is still my favorite." + +The end. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has a black spot on his back. He looks nice. + +"Can we pet him?" Jen asks Tom. + +Tom shrugs. He does not know. He likes dogs, but he is a little scared. The dog is bigger than them. + +They walk closer to the dog. The dog sees them. He wags his tail. He barks. He sounds happy. + +"Hello, dog!" Jen says. She reaches out her hand. The dog licks her hand. He is warm and soft. + +Tom smiles. He pets the dog too. The dog likes them. He rolls over. He wants them to rub his belly. + +They laugh. They rub his belly. The dog is their new friend. + +They do not see the man who is looking for the dog. The man is angry. The dog ran away from him. The dog does not like the man. The man is mean. He hits the dog. He makes the dog do tricks. He does not give the dog treats. + +The man sees the dog in the park. He sees Tom and Jen. He runs towards them. He yells. + +"Hey, that's my dog! Get away from him!" + +Tom and Jen are scared. They do not want to leave the dog. The dog is scared too. He growls. He does not want to go with the man. + +What will happen next? Will Tom and Jen help the dog? Will the man take the dog away? Will someone else come to help? The end. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Anna wants to go first. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Ben follows her. + +"Wait for me, Anna!" Ben says. + +Anna does not wait. She sits on the slide and slides down fast. She laughs and shouts, "Whee!" + +Ben is sad. He wanted to slide with Anna. He sits on the slide and slides down slow. He does not laugh. He does not shout. + +Anna sees Ben's face. He looks unhappy. She feels sorry. She runs to Ben and hugs him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not mean to make you sad. Do you want to slide with me again?" Anna says. + +Ben nods. He smiles. He hugs Anna back. + +"Okay, Anna. Let's slide together. But this time, let's go slow and enjoy the ride." Ben says. + +Anna agrees. They hold hands and walk to the slide. They kneel on the slide and slide down slow. They look at the sky, the trees, and the birds. They see a pink balloon flying in the air. They point and say, "Look, a pink balloon!" + +They laugh and shout, "Whee!" together. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big kite in the sky. It was red and yellow and had a long tail. Lily and Sam wanted to fly a kite too. + +"Can we have a kite, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe for your birthday, Lily. Kites are not cheap," Mom said. + +Lily and Sam felt sad. They hoped they could have a kite soon. + +They decided to make their own kite. They found some paper, sticks, string and tape. They cut and glued and tied until they had a kite. It was not like the kite in the sky. It was different. It was blue and green and had a star on it. + +"Let's go fly our kite!" Sam said. + +They ran to the park with their kite. They threw it in the air and pulled the string. The kite flew up and down and left and right. Lily and Sam laughed and cheered. + +"Look at our kite! It's different and it's awesome!" Lily said. + +They did not care that their kite was not like the others. They were happy and proud of their kite. They hoped they could fly it again tomorrow. +Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They make different buildings with the blocks. Sometimes they make houses, sometimes they make castles, sometimes they make towers. + +One day, they decide to have a contest. Who can make the most unusual building with the blocks? They start to build with the blocks. Anna makes a building that looks like a snake. Ben makes a building that looks like a star. + +They look at each other's buildings. They are both very unusual. They don't know who wins. + +They ask their mom to judge. Mom comes and looks at the buildings. She smiles and says, "Wow, you both did a great job! Your buildings are very unusual and creative. I think you both win!" + +Anna and Ben are happy. They hug their mom and each other. They say, "Thank you, mom! We both win!" They share their blocks and play together. They have fun with their unusual buildings. +Anna and Ben were playing in the yard with their dog, Spot. They liked to throw a ball and watch Spot run and catch it. But sometimes Spot ran too far and tried to go under the fence to the other side. + +"Spot, no!" Anna shouted. "You have to stay here with us. The fence is there to keep you safe." + +But Spot did not listen. He squeezed under the fence and ran away. Anna and Ben were very sad and scared. They did not know where Spot went or if he would come back. + +They ran to their mom and told her what happened. Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, we will find Spot. He is a good dog, but he is also very curious. Maybe he saw something interesting on the other side of the fence. Let's go look for him." + +They got in the car and drove around the neighborhood. They called Spot's name and looked for him. They asked some people if they had seen him, but no one had. They were about to give up when they saw a sign that said, "Lost dog. Looks like Spot. Please call this number." + +They followed the sign to a house with a big yard. There they saw Spot, playing with another dog. He looked happy and wagged his tail when he saw them. + +"Spot!" Anna and Ben cried. They ran to him and hugged him. Spot licked their faces and barked. + +"Hello, are you looking for this dog?" a man asked. He was holding the sign and a phone. + +"Yes, he is ours. He ran away from our yard. We are so sorry. He is usually very obedient, but he likes to explore," Mom said. + +"That's okay. He is a very friendly dog. He came to our yard and made friends with our dog, Rex. They have been having fun together. But we knew he had a family, so we put up the sign. Here, you can have him back," the man said. + +He handed Spot's leash to Mom. Mom thanked him and gave him her phone number, in case Spot ever escaped again. + +"Come on, Spot. Let's go home. And no more running away, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. I'm sorry. I love you," Spot said in his dog way. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They were happy to have Spot back. They decided to replace the old fence with a new one, so Spot could not go under it anymore. They also gave him a new ball and a bone, so he would have more fun in their yard. Spot was happy too.

Mom said. + +"Just say we are married and we can kiss," Tom said. + +Mom smiled and said, "OK, then. Lily and Tom, you are very good friends.

Who are you?" he shouted. + +"Dad, this is Tom. We are married," Lily said. + +"Married? Are you crazy? You are too young for that. And you are wearing red. That is a bad color. Get out of my house, now!" he said. + +He grabbed Tom by the arm and pushed him out of the door. He slammed the door and locked it. + +Lily started to cry. She ran to her room and hugged her doll. She did not understand why her dad was so mean. She missed Tom. She wished they could be married and happy. But they could not. It was a bad ending. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog with a man. The dog was brown and fluffy. The man was old and kind. + +The man walked to Tom and Lily. He smiled and said, "Hello, children. Do you want to pet my dog? His name is Max. He is very friendly and gentle." + +Tom and Lily looked at the dog. They liked dogs, but they did not know this dog. They felt uncomfortable. They did not say anything. + +The man saw that they were shy. He said, "It's okay. You don't have to pet him if you don't want to. He won't bite. He likes children. He just wants to say hello." + +He offered his hand to Tom and Lily. He said, "My name is Bob. What are your names?" + +Tom and Lily heard his voice. He sounded nice and calm. They felt a little better. They took his hand and said, "I'm Tom. I'm Lily. We are playing in the park." + +Bob nodded and said, "Nice to meet you, Tom and Lily. You are playing very well. Can I join you for a while?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They nodded and said, "Yes, you can. We can share our toys. And we can pet Max too." + +Bob smiled and said, "Thank you, children.

He bounced so much that he laughed and giggled. + +But then, something bad happened. Max bounced too hard and the ball popped. It made a loud noise and the air came out. The ball became flat and sad. Max stopped bouncing and looked at the ball. He felt sorry and scared. He said, "Oh no, I broke your ball. I'm sorry, Lily. I broke my promise." + +Lily heard the noise and came running. She saw Max and the ball. She felt angry and sad. She said, "You broke my ball. You broke your promise. You are not my friend." She started to cry and ran away. + +Max felt bad and wanted to make Lily happy again. He said, "Wait, Lily. Don't go. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I will get you a new ball. A bigger and better ball. A brilliant ball. Please, be my friend again." + +Lily stopped and turned around. She looked at Max and the ball. She thought for a moment. She said, "You will get me a new ball? A brilliant ball?" + +Max nodded and said, "Yes, I will. I promise. I will get you a brilliant ball. A ball that is red and shiny and bouncy. A ball that you will love. Please, be my friend again." + +Lily smiled and said, "OK, I will. But you have to keep your promise. You have to get me a brilliant ball. And you have to be careful with it. Promise?" + +Max smiled and said, "I promise. I will get you a brilliant ball. And I will be careful with it. Promise." + +They hugged and said, "We are friends again." + +They went inside and had some juice and cookies. They talked and played and laughed. They waited for the new ball. The brilliant ball.

Do you know what to do if there is a fire?" + +Tommy says, "Yes, I do. I have to stop, drop and roll. And call 911. And get out of the house." + +The fireman says, "That's right. You're a smart boy. And a brave boy. Do you want to be a fireman when you grow up?" + +Tommy says, "Yes, I do. I want to be like you. You're my hero." + +The fireman says, "Thank you, Tommy. You're very sweet.

I ran out to see you. I'm sorry." + +The fireman says, "It's okay, Tommy. But you have to be careful. Always ask your mom or dad before you go outside. And never play with fire or matches.

It was a big truck with lights and sounds. It looked very modern and cool. They wanted to play with it, but they did not know how to make it work. + +"Maybe it needs power," Anna said. "Power means something that makes things go or light up." + +"Where can we get power?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe from the wall," Anna said. She pointed to a socket where their lamp was plugged in. "The lamp gets power from the wall. Maybe the truck can too." + +Anna and Ben took the truck and the cord that came with it. They unplugged the lamp and plugged the truck into the socket. They waited for something to happen, but nothing did. + +"Maybe it is broken," Ben said. He was sad. + +"Maybe we need to press a button," Anna said. She looked at the truck and saw a red button on the side. She pressed it and the truck came to life. It made a loud noise and started to move. It bumped into the wall and the bed and the toys. + +"Wow, it works!" Anna said. She was happy. + +"Look out, it is going to hit us!" Ben said. He was scared. + +Anna and Ben ran away from the truck.

She said, "Sam, I have some news for you. You are going to have a baby sister soon. Isn't that exciting?" + +Sam did not think it was exciting. He thought it was bad. He did not want a baby sister. He wanted to be the only child. He thought a baby sister would cry a lot, take his toys, and make his mom and dad busy. He said, "No, I don't want a baby sister. Go away!" + +His mom looked sad. She said, "Sam, don't be angry. A baby sister is a gift. You will love her and she will love you. You will have a lot of fun together.

I saw how cute and sweet he was. I liked to hold him and play with him. He became my best friend. I was glad I had a baby brother." + +Sam looked at his dad and said, "Really?

He felt a little better. He said, "Maybe you are right, dad. Maybe having a baby sister is good. But can I still hug my teddy bear?" + +His dad smiled and said, "Of course, Sam. You can hug your teddy bear as much as you want. And you can hug your baby sister too, when she comes. She will love your teddy bear too." + +Sam smiled and said, "OK, dad. I will hug my baby sister too. And I will be a good big brother. But can you tell mom to not smile so big? It makes me nervous." + +His dad laughed and said, "OK, Sam. I will tell mom to not smile so big. But she is very happy, Sam. And so am I. And so will you be, soon. You will see." + +Sam nodded and said, "OK, dad. I will see. I will try to be happy too.

She sees the chocolate on the floor and the twins crying. She says, "What happened? Why did you waste the chocolate? Why did you fight with each other?" + +Anna and Ben feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We were not fair and nice to each other. We wanted more chocolate and we did not share." + +Mom says, "That's very sad. Chocolate is a treat, not a reason to fight. You should be happy and grateful for what you have. And you should love and respect each other. You are twins, after all. You are special and lucky to have each other." + +Anna and Ben hug and say, "We love you, Mom. And we love each other. We're sorry we made a mess. Can we have some more chocolate, please?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Maybe later, if you behave well. But first, you have to clean up the floor and say sorry to each other. And then you can play nicely together." + +Anna and Ben say, "Okay, Mom." They pick up the chocolate pieces and put them in a bowl. They say sorry to each other and give each other a kiss. Then they go to play with their toys. They are happy and fair and nice to each other. They do not fight over chocolate anymore. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy rockets in the garden. They liked to pretend they were going to the moon and other planets. They had a big book with pictures of the planets and their names. + +"Look, this is Mars," Ben said, showing Lily a red planet. "It is very hot and dry. It has rocks and dust." + +"Wow, Mars is pretty," Lily said. "Can we go there?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, we can't. It is too far and too hard. We need a special rocket and a suit to go there." + +"Why?" Lily asked. "Why is it hard?" + +Ben tried to explain. "Because Mars is different from Earth. Earth has air and water and plants and animals. Mars does not have these things. It is not good for us to live there." + +Lily frowned. She did not understand. "But it looks nice. It has a color and a shape. Why can't we live there?" + +Ben sighed. He did not know how to explain better. He looked at the book and pointed to another planet. "Look, this is Saturn. It has rings. Do you like it?" + +Lily nodded. She liked the rings. They were shiny and round. She forgot about Mars. She wanted to go to Saturn. + +"Can we go to Saturn?" she asked. + +Ben smiled. He knew Saturn was also hard to go to, but he did not want to make Lily sad. He said, "Maybe one day, when we are older and smarter, we can go to Saturn. But for now, we can only play with our rockets and look at the pictures." + +Lily smiled too. She liked to play with Ben and their rockets. She liked to look at the pictures. She hoped one day they could go to Saturn and see the rings. She thought Saturn was the best planet. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hedge. It has many green leaves and small red berries. + +"Let's go inside the hedge," Ben says. "Maybe we can find a secret place." + +Lily is not sure. She thinks the hedge looks dark and scary. She does not want to get lost or hurt. + +"Come on, Lily," Ben says. "It will be fun. Trust me. I am your friend." + +Lily trusts Ben. She is a good friend. She follows him into the hedge. They crawl and push through the leaves. They see many bugs and birds. They hear funny noises. + +After a while, they find a small clearing. It has soft grass and bright flowers. It is like a hidden garden. + +"Wow, this is beautiful," Lily says. "You were right, Ben. This is a secret place." + +Ben smiles. He is happy. He picks a flower and gives it to Lily. + +"Thank you, Ben," Lily says. "You are a good friend." + +They hug and laugh. They play in the secret place. They have fun. They are glad they trusted each other. They are glad they found the hedge. +Tommy loved to climb. He climbed on chairs, on tables, on sofas, on beds. He climbed everywhere he could. His mom always told him to be careful and not to climb on things that could fall or break. But Tommy did not listen. He wanted to climb higher and higher. + +One day, Tommy saw a big red button on the wall. It was very high, above a shelf. He wondered what it did. He wanted to press it. He climbed on a chair, then on a table, then on a shelf. He reached for the button. He was almost there. + +"Tommy, no!" his mom shouted. She saw him climbing on the shelf. She ran to him. "That button is not for you. It is for the fire alarm. If you press it, it will make a loud noise and the firemen will come. You will be in big trouble." + +Tommy did not understand. He thought the button was a toy. He wanted to see what it did. He did not want to be obedient. He pressed the button. + +BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The button made a loud noise. Tommy was scared. He let go of the button and fell off the shelf. He hurt his arm and his leg. He cried. + +His mom picked him up and hugged him. She was angry and worried. She checked his arm and his leg. They were not broken, but they had bruises. She put a band-aid on them. She told him he was very naughty and he had to say sorry. + +Tommy said sorry. He was sorry for pressing the button. He was sorry for hurting himself. He was sorry for making his mom upset. He learned his lesson. He did not want to climb on things that could fall or break anymore. He wanted to be obedient. He wanted to make his mom happy. +Lily likes to get stamps from her teacher. Stamps are small pictures that stick on paper. Lily has many stamps of animals, flowers and stars. She puts them in her book and shows them to her mom. + +One day, Lily sees a new stamp on the teacher's desk. It is a stamp of a bunny. The bunny is white and soft. Lily loves bunnies. She wants to get the stamp of the bunny. + +She asks the teacher, "Can I have the bunny stamp, please?" + +The teacher smiles and says, "Yes, you can, Lily. But first, you have to do your work. You have to write your name and draw a circle." + +Lily nods and does her work. She writes her name and draws a circle. She shows her work to the teacher. + +The teacher says, "Good job, Lily! You did your work very well. Here is your bunny stamp." + +The teacher gives Lily the stamp of the bunny. Lily is very happy. She says, "Thank you, teacher!" + +She puts the stamp of the bunny in her book. She touches the stamp. It is soft. She thinks the bunny is cute. She hugs her book and smiles. +Lily was very hungry. She wanted to have some juice and a sandwich. But Mommy said she had to wait. Mommy was busy doing a puzzle. She said it was almost complete. + +Lily tried to be patient. She played with her dolls and her blocks. She looked at her books and her stickers. But she still felt hungry. She looked at Mommy's puzzle. It had many pieces. It looked hard. + +Lily had an idea. She wanted to help Mommy. She crawled to the table and reached for a puzzle piece. She tried to fit it in the picture. But it did not match. She tried another piece. And another. And another. + +Mommy saw what Lily was doing. She smiled and thanked her. She said Lily was a good helper. She said they could finish the puzzle together. Then they could have some juice and a sandwich. + +Lily was happy. She hugged Mommy and gave her a kiss. She said she loved Mommy and puzzles. She said she was not hungry anymore. She just wanted to complete the puzzle with Mommy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had. There was a big chest in the corner. It was brown and had a lock on it. + +"Let's open the chest!" Tom said. "Maybe there is something fun inside." + +Lily nodded. She wanted to see what was in the chest too. They tried to pull the lock, but it was too hard. They looked around for a key, but they could not find one. + +"Maybe we can choose something else to play with," Lily said. "There are many toys and books here." + +Tom shook his head. He really wanted to open the chest. He thought it was a mystery. He saw a hammer on a shelf. He had an idea. + +"I know! We can use the hammer to break the lock!" he said. He grabbed the hammer and ran to the chest. + +Lily gasped. She knew that was a bad idea. She ran after Tom and tried to stop him. + +"Tom, no! That is grandma's chest! You can't break it!" she said. "She will be very mad at us!" + +Tom did not listen. He swung the hammer at the lock. He missed and hit the chest. He made a big dent in the wood. He tried again, but he was too slow. Lily grabbed the hammer from his hand. + +"Tom, stop! You are hurting the chest!" she said. "We have to put it back the way it was!" + +Tom looked at the chest. He saw the dent and the scratch. He felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt the chest. He wanted to see what was inside, but he did not think about grandma. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I was silly. I should have listened to you. Let's choose something else to play with." + +Lily nodded. She was glad that Tom was sorry. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. We all make mistakes. Let's choose something nice to play with. Maybe we can read a book or play with the dolls." + +They put the hammer back on the shelf and the chest back in the corner. They chose a book and a doll and sat on the floor. They read and played and had fun. They forgot about the chest and the lock. They were happy. +One day, Sam and Lily went to the museum with their mom. They saw many things, like big animals, shiny rocks, and old paintings. But the most interesting thing was the skeleton room. There were many bones of different shapes and sizes. Some were from people, some were from animals. + +"Look, mom, a dinosaur!" Sam said, pointing at a huge skeleton with sharp teeth and claws. + +"That's right, Sam. That's a T-rex, a very big and strong dinosaur," mom said. + +Lily was not so brave. She was scared of the skeletons. She thought they might come alive and chase her. She hid behind mom and held her hand. + +"Mom, can we go now? I don't like the skeletons. They are scary and ugly," Lily said in a small voice. + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "Don't worry, Lily. The skeletons are not scary or ugly. They are just bones. They can't hurt you or move. They are very old and important. They help us learn about the past and how things were different before. They are serious, not scary," mom said. + +She took Lily and Sam to a smaller skeleton that looked like a dog. "This is a wolf, Lily. It was a kind of dog that lived in the wild. It had fur and skin, just like our dog Spot. But over time, the fur and skin fell off, and only the bones remained. The museum people found the bones and put them together. They covered them with glass to protect them and show them to us. Do you see?" mom said. + +Lily looked at the wolf skeleton. She saw the glass and the bones. She saw the eyes and the nose and the ears. She saw the tail and the paws and the teeth. She thought of Spot, her friendly and fluffy dog. She felt less scared and more curious. + +"I see, mom. The skeleton is like Spot, but without fur and skin. It is not scary, it is serious. Can I touch it?" Lily asked. + +Mom nodded and lifted Lily up. She let her touch the glass and feel the shape of the bones. Lily smiled and giggled. She liked the skeleton. She said sorry for being scared. + +Sam joined them and touched the glass too. He liked the skeleton as well. He said it was cool and awesome. + +Mom was happy and proud. She took a picture of Sam and Lily with the wolf skeleton. She said they were smart and brave. She said they learned something new and had fun. She said they were ready to see more things in the museum. Sam and Lily agreed. They held mom's hand and walked to the next room. They saw more skeletons and more things. They had a great day at the museum. +Sara loved her pony, Max. She liked to brush his fur, feed him carrots, and ride him around the farm. Max was a good pony, and he always listened to Sara. He was her best friend. + +One day, Sara wanted to go for a long ride with Max. She asked her mom if she could, and her mom said yes, but only if she was back before dark. Sara promised to be back in time, and she put on her helmet and boots. She climbed on Max's back, and they trotted away. + +Sara and Max had a lot of fun. They saw cows, sheep, and ducks. They crossed a bridge, and went up a hill. They found a meadow with flowers, and Sara picked some for her mom. She looked at the sky, and saw that it was getting late. She decided to go back home. + +But on the way back, Sara and Max got lost. They took a wrong turn, and ended up in a forest. Sara was scared, and Max was tired. They heard strange noises, and saw shadows. Sara wished she had listened to her mom, and not gone so far. + +She hugged Max, and he nuzzled her. He tried to find the way out, but he was too sleepy. He yawned, and lay down on the ground. Sara lay down next to him, and wrapped her arms around him. He was warm and soft, and she felt a little comfortable. She hoped someone would find them soon. + +Meanwhile, Sara's mom was worried. She saw that it was dark, and Sara was not back. She called Sara's dad, and they got in the car. They drove around the farm, looking for Sara and Max. They asked the neighbors, and the animals, but no one had seen them. + +They were about to give up, when they saw a light in the forest. They followed it, and found a cabin. They knocked on the door, and a kind old man opened it. He said he had found Sara and Max, and brought them inside. He said they were safe and warm, and he gave them some soup and cookies. + +Sara's mom and dad were so happy to see Sara and Max. They thanked the old man, and hugged Sara and Max. They put them in the car, and drove back home. Sara said she was sorry for being late, and for getting lost. She said she learned her lesson, and she would never go too far again. She said she loved her mom and dad, and her pony, Max. + +Moral value: Listen to your parents, and don't go too far from home. +Anna loved to dance. She danced every day in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She danced with her dolls, her dog, and her friends. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. + +One day, Anna went to a big party with her mom and dad. There were many people, many lights, and many sounds. Anna wanted to dance, but she did not know anyone. She felt shy and scared. She stayed close to her mom and dad and watched the other kids play. + +Then, she saw a boy with a red hat. He was dancing by himself in a corner. He looked happy and free. Anna liked his dance. She wanted to join him. She took a deep breath and walked towards him. + +"Hi, I'm Anna. Can I dance with you?" she asked. + +The boy smiled and nodded. "Sure, I'm Leo. I like your dress. It's very pretty." + +"Thank you. I like your hat. It's very cool." + +They started to dance together. They danced fast and slow, high and low, left and right. They had fun. They laughed and talked. They forgot about the other people. + +But then, something bad happened. Anna tripped over her own feet and fell down. She hit her head on the floor. She felt a big pain. She started to cry. + +Leo stopped dancing and ran to her. He helped her get up. He saw a bump on her head. He felt sorry for her. + +"Are you okay, Anna? Do you need a band-aid?" he asked. + +Anna nodded. She felt embarrassed. She wanted to hide. She thought Leo would not like her anymore. + +But Leo did not laugh at her. He did not leave her. He hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Anna. It's okay. Everyone falls sometimes. I fall too. It's not your fault. You're still a good dancer. And you're still my friend." + +Anna felt better. She smiled and hugged him back. She said, "Thank you, Leo. You're very kind. And you're still my friend too." + +They went to find a band-aid. They put it on Anna's head. They held hands and walked back to the dance floor. They danced again. They felt happy. They restored their joy. +Lily liked to play with her pirate toys. She had a big ship, a hat, a sword and a parrot. She liked to pretend she was a pirate captain and sail to find treasure. + +One day, she found a big box in the attic. It was full of old clothes and books and things. She opened it and saw something shiny. It was a gold coin! She took it out and looked at it. It had a picture of a pirate on it. + +Lily was very happy. She thought she had found real pirate treasure. She wanted to fill her ship with coins and jewels. She looked in the box for more. But there was only one coin. She was sad. + +Then she heard a voice. It said, "Ahoy, matey! Are you looking for treasure?" Lily turned around and saw a parrot. It was sitting on a shelf. It had red and green feathers and a black eye patch. It was an unusual parrot. + +Lily was surprised. She said, "Hello, parrot. Are you a pirate parrot?" + +The parrot nodded. It said, "Yes, I am. And I know where to find more treasure. Do you want to come with me?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, please. I want to be a pirate too." + +The parrot flew to her shoulder. It said, "Then follow me, captain. I will show you the way." + +Lily put on her hat and took her sword. She grabbed her ship and the coin. She followed the parrot to a secret door in the attic. She opened it and saw a bright light. She stepped inside and saw a big island with palm trees and a cave. She saw more ships and pirates and treasure. + +Lily was amazed. She said, "Wow, this is amazing. Is this where you live, parrot?" + +The parrot said, "Yes, this is my home. And now it is yours too. Welcome to Pirate Land, captain. Here you can fill your ship with treasure and have fun all day." + +Lily was very happy. She said, "Thank you, parrot. You are the best friend ever." + +They hugged and sailed to the island. They had a great adventure. They filled their ship with treasure and shared it with the other pirates. They played games and sang songs and ate cake. They had a lot of fun. + +Lily loved Pirate Land. She decided to stay there forever. She was the happiest pirate in the world. +Jenny and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had a big calendar on the wall with pictures of animals and numbers. They used stickers to mark the days when they did something fun or good. + +One day, Jenny saw that Ben had more stickers than her on the calendar. She felt angry and sad. She wanted to have more stickers too. She thought of a plan to get more stickers. + +She went to the kitchen and found a lemon. She cut it in half and squeezed some juice into a cup. She added some water and sugar and stirred it. She made lemonade. She smiled and thought, "This will be a good way to get more stickers. I will share my lemonade with Ben and he will give me some of his stickers." + +She took the cup and went to find Ben. He was playing with his toy cars in the living room. She said, "Hi, Ben. I made some lemonade for you. Do you want to try some?" + +Ben looked at the cup and said, "Sure, thank you, Jenny. You are very nice. I like lemonade." He took the cup and drank some. He made a face and spit it out. He said, "Yuck! This lemonade is sour. It tastes bad. Why did you give me this?" + +Jenny said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I thought you would like it. I recommend you drink some more. It is good for you. And maybe you can give me some of your stickers for making you lemonade." + +Ben said, "No, Jenny. I don't like your lemonade. And I don't want to give you my stickers. You are not nice. You are mean. You tried to trick me. Go away." + +Jenny felt sorry and ashamed. She realized that her plan was wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was jealous of your stickers. I wanted to have more too. But I should not have done that. I love you, Ben. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben looked at Jenny and saw that she was crying. He felt sorry too. He said, "I love you too, Jenny. I forgive you. But don't do that again. And don't be jealous of my stickers. We can share them. We are twins. We are a team." + +Jenny smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. We are a team. And we can share our lemonade too. But next time, I will make it better. I will add more sugar and less lemon." + +Ben smiled and said, "OK, Jenny. That sounds good. Let's go and get some more stickers. And maybe some cookies too." + +They went to the kitchen and made some more lemonade and got some cookies. They shared them and put some stickers on the calendar. They were happy and proud. They learned a lesson. They learned to be honest and generous and not to be jealous. They learned to love each other. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cake on a table. The cake has pink and white frosting and many sprinkles. It looks yummy. + +"Wow, look at that cake!" Lily says. "I want to taste it. Do you think it is for us?" + +Tom shakes his head. "No, Lily. That cake is not for us. That cake is for someone else. Maybe it is for a birthday. We should not touch it. It is not ours. It is not mine. It is not yours." + +But Lily does not listen. She runs to the table and takes a big bite of the cake. She smiles and says, "Mmm, this cake is so good. It is sweet and soft. It is easy to eat. You should try it, Tom." + +Tom is scared. He sees a lady coming to the table. She looks angry. She says, "Hey, what are you doing? That is my cake! You are very naughty. You should not eat my cake. That is not nice. That is not fair. That is not easy. You should say sorry." + +Lily feels bad. She says, "I'm sorry, lady. I did not know it was your cake. I was hungry and it looked yummy. Please do not be mad at me." + +The lady sighs. She says, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But you should not do that again. You should ask before you take something that is not yours. You should share and be polite. Do you understand?" + +Lily nods. She says, "Yes, lady. I understand. Thank you for forgiving me. Can I share your cake with Tom? He is my friend. He did not eat your cake. He was good." + +The lady smiles. She says, "Sure, Lily. You can share my cake with Tom. But only a little bit. This cake is for my daughter. It is her birthday. She is three years old, like you. Do you want to say happy birthday to her?" + +Lily and Tom say, "Yes, lady. We want to say happy birthday to her. What is her name?" + +The lady says, "Her name is Rose. She is over there, on the swing. Come on, let's go and say hello. And bring some cake. Maybe she will share with you too." + +Lily and Tom follow the lady. They say happy birthday to Rose. They share some cake. They make a new friend. They have fun. They learn a lesson. They are happy. The end. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big statue of a man with a harp. The harp had many strings and looked shiny. + +"Who is that?" Lila asked. + +"That is a musician," Tom said. "He makes music with the harp. He lived a long time ago. He is ancient." + +Lila and Tom wanted to touch the harp, but it was too high. They tried to climb the statue, but it was too heavy. They could not move it. + +"Let's weigh the statue," Lila said. "Maybe we can find out how heavy it is." + +They found a big scale near the statue. It had numbers and a needle. They pushed the statue onto the scale, but nothing happened. The needle did not move. + +"The scale is broken," Tom said. "The statue is too heavy for the scale. It is heavier than a car or a bus or a house." + +Lila and Tom were amazed. They wondered how the musician could play the harp if it was so heavy. They decided to make their own music with sticks and stones. They tapped and clacked and sang. They had fun. They forgot about the statue and the harp. They were happy. +Sara and Ben like to spend time on the porch. They have a big porch with a swing and a table. They can see the garden and the birds and the sky. + +One day, they see a light in the sky. It is not the sun or the moon. It is a star. It is very bright and shiny. Sara and Ben want to touch it. + +They get a chair and a broom. They put the chair on the table and the broom on the chair. They climb up and try to reach the star. But it is too far. They cannot touch it. + +They fall down and make a big noise. Mom and Dad come out and see them. They are not happy. They say, "What are you doing? You could get hurt. The star is not for you. It is for everyone to see and enjoy." + +Sara and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry. We just wanted to touch the star. It is so pretty." + +Mom and Dad hug them and say, "We know. The star is pretty. But it is also very hot and far away. You cannot touch it. But you can look at it and make a wish. Maybe it will come true." + +Sara and Ben look at the star and make a wish. They wish for more time on the porch with Mom and Dad. They think it is the best wish ever. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide that looked fun. Lila wanted to go on the slide, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go on the slide!" Lila said. "It's not scary, it's fun!" + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lila, it's too high. I don't want to go." + +Lila saw that Ben was holding his finger. He had a small cut on it from a thorn. "Does your finger hurt, Ben?" Lila asked. + +"A little bit," Ben said. "But it's okay. I put a band-aid on it." + +Lila smiled. "You know, Ben, you are very brave. You didn't cry when you hurt your finger. You can be brave on the slide, too. You can choose to go or not to go. It's up to you." + +Ben looked at the slide again. He saw other kids going on it and laughing. He saw Lila holding his hand. He felt a little bit of courage in his heart. + +"Okay, Lila, I'll try it. But you have to go with me," Ben said. + +"Of course, Ben, I'll go with you. We'll go together," Lila said. + +They climbed up the stairs and sat on the slide. They held hands and counted to three. Then they slid down the slide, feeling the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They landed on the ground and giggled. + +"That was fun, Lila! That was fun, Ben!" they said to each other. + +They hugged and ran to the slide again. They had a great time in the park. They were brave and happy. They were good friends. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toy guns. They had many toy guns of different colors and shapes. They liked to shoot at each other and make loud noises. They thought it was fun and exciting. + +One day, they decided to play in the garden. The garden was full of flowers and plants that their mom and dad had grown. They were very pretty and smelled nice. Tim and Sam did not care about the flowers and plants. They only wanted to shoot at each other and make loud noises. + +They ran around the garden, shooting and shouting. They did not see where they were going. They stepped on the flowers and plants. They broke the stems and petals. They made a big mess. The garden was not pretty anymore. It was sad and ugly. + +Mom and dad heard the loud noises and came to see what was happening. They saw the garden and were very angry and sad. They scolded Tim and Sam for being careless and rude. They told them to stop playing with toy guns and to help clean up the garden. They also told them to apologize to the flowers and plants. + +Tim and Sam felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had done something bad. They said sorry to mom and dad, and to the flowers and plants. They helped clean up the garden and tried to fix the damage. They learned to be more careful and respectful of nature.

They had more fun and made less noise. +Bunny and Fox were friends. They liked to play in the forest. One day, they saw a hunter. He had a big stick that made loud noises. He wanted to catch Bunny and Fox. + +"Run, Bunny, run!" Fox said. "The hunter is bad. He will hurt us." + +Bunny and Fox ran as fast as they could. They hid behind a big rock. The hunter followed them. He looked for them with his eyes. + +"Where are they?" the hunter said. "I want to make a coat from their fur." + +Fox had an idea. He was brave and smart. He wanted to protect Bunny. He made a noise like a bird. + +"Tweet, tweet!" Fox said. + +The hunter heard the noise. He thought it was a bird. He was foolish. He left the rock and walked to the noise. + +"Ha, ha!" Fox said. "I tricked the hunter. He is not smart. He is silly." + +Bunny and Fox came out from behind the rock. They saw the hunter walking away. They were happy and safe. + +"Thank you, Fox," Bunny said. "You are a good friend. You protected me from the hunter." + +"You are welcome, Bunny," Fox said. "You are a good friend too. Let's go and play some more." + +Bunny and Fox ran away. They played in the forest. They were careful and happy. They never saw the hunter again. +Sara was a wealthy girl who lived in a big house with many toys. She liked to play with her dolls and dress them up in pretty clothes. She also had a pet cat named Fluffy, who was white and soft. Sara loved Fluffy very much and always fed him milk and fish. + +One day, Sara's mother told her they were going to visit her aunt, who lived in the city. Sara was excited, because she had never seen the city before. She packed her favorite doll and some clothes in a small bag. She also wanted to bring Fluffy, but her mother said no. "Fluffy will be happier here, with our gardener. He will feed him and take care of him while we are away. Don't worry, we will be back soon," her mother said. + +Sara was sad, but she kissed Fluffy goodbye and got in the car with her mother. They drove for a long time, until they reached the city. Sara saw many tall buildings, noisy cars, and busy people. She also saw some children who looked dirty and hungry. They were playing with sticks and stones, and had no toys or pets. Sara felt sorry for them, and wondered why they were so poor. + +She asked her mother, "Why are those children so sad? Why don't they have toys or cats like me?" + +Her mother sighed, and said, "They are not wealthy, like us. They have no money to buy toys or food. They live in small and dirty houses, and have to work hard to survive. They have a very different life from yours, Sara." + +Sara thought about this, and felt sad. She wished she could share some of her toys and clothes with them. She wished she could feed them and make them happy. She wished she could give them Fluffy, who was so white and soft and loved to cuddle. + +She said to her mother, "Can we give them some of our things, mama? Can we help them?" + +Her mother smiled, and said, "That's very kind of you, Sara. Yes, we can. We can buy them some food and clothes, and maybe some toys. And maybe, we can find a nice home for Fluffy, too. He might be lonely here, without you. Maybe, one of those children would love to have him as a friend." + +Sara smiled, too. She liked this idea. She hoped Fluffy would be happy with a new friend. She hoped the children would be happy with some new things. She hoped they would all be happy together. She hugged her mother, and said, "Thank you, mama. You are the best." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the park with Mom. The park has swings, slides and a big pond. Anna and Ben love to feed the ducks at the pond. They bring bread and corn for the ducks. + +To go to the park, they have to take the subway. The subway is a big train that goes under the ground. It makes a loud noise when it comes and goes. Anna and Ben like to hear the noise. They think it is fun. Mom tells them to hold her hand and stay close when they get on and off the subway. + +One day, when they are on the subway, they see a man with a guitar. He is playing music and singing. He has a hat on the floor with some coins in it. Anna and Ben like his music. They think it is sweet. They ask Mom if they can give him some coins. Mom says yes. She gives them each a coin and tells them to be careful. + +Anna and Ben walk to the man with the guitar. They smile and say hello. They put their coins in his hat. The man says thank you. He asks them if they have a favorite song. Anna and Ben say yes. They say they like the song that Mom sings to them at night. It is a song about stars and dreams. + +The man says he knows that song. He says he will play it for them. He starts to play the guitar and sing the song. Anna and Ben are happy. They sing along with him. They hear the song and feel warm and cozy. They look at Mom. Mom is smiling. She is proud of them. She joins them in singing. + +The song ends. The man says goodbye. He says they have sweet voices. He says he hopes to see them again. Anna and Ben say goodbye. They say they hope to see him again. They go back to Mom. They hug her. They tell her they love her. She tells them she loves them too. + +The subway stops. They get off. They go to the park. They feed the ducks. They have a good day. They remember the man with the guitar and his sweet music. They think he is nice. They think he is their friend. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun, but Anna wants to play with the car too. + +"Ben, can I have the car?" Anna asks. + +"No, it's mine. You have the doll," Ben says. + +"But I like the car. It's fast and shiny. Please, Ben, let me have it," Anna says. + +"No, Anna, go away. You always want what I have," Ben says. + +Anna gets angry. She does not like to share. She demands the car from Ben. She pulls the car with her hands. Ben pulls back. They tug and tug. The car breaks in half. They both cry. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room. She sees the broken car and the crying children. She is not happy. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. + +"Anna wanted my car. She broke it. It's not fair," Ben says. + +"I just wanted to play. Ben was mean. He did not share," Anna says. + +Mom sighs. She picks up the broken car and the doll. She puts them on the shelf. She kneels down and hugs Anna and Ben. + +"Listen, children. You have to learn to share and be kind. You have many toys. You can take turns and play together. Breaking things is not nice. It makes everyone sad. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They are sorry. They wipe their tears. They hug Mom. + +"Can we have another toy?" Anna asks. + +"Only if you promise to share and be nice," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben promise. They are eager to play again. Mom gives them a ball and a book. They thank Mom. They play with the ball and the book. They share and they are nice. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They liked to look at the water and the fish and the birds. One day, they saw a small island with trees and sand. Mom and dad said they could go and play there for a while. + +Lily and Tom were happy and ran to the shore. They saw a lot of shells and rocks and sticks. They wanted to make a castle with them. They started to grab the shells and rocks and sticks and pile them up. They worked hard and had fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was the boat. Mom and dad were calling them. They said it was time to go back. Lily and Tom did not want to leave their castle. They said they wanted to stay on the island. + +Mom and dad said no. They said the island was not safe. They said there were big waves and strong winds and wild animals. They said they had to hurry or they would be stuck. Lily and Tom were scared. They did not like big waves and strong winds and wild animals. They were weak and small. + +They grabbed their hands and ran to the boat. Mom and dad helped them get on. They waved goodbye to their castle and the island. They were sad, but they were also glad. They knew they were safe and loved on the boat. They hugged mom and dad and said thank you. They hoped to see another island someday. +Lila was very happy. She had a new toy. It was a big red car. She wanted to test it. She put it on the floor and pushed a button. The car made a loud noise and moved fast. + +"Wow!" Lila said. "This is fun!" + +She ran after the car and tried to catch it. But the car was too fast. It bumped into the wall and fell down. Lila picked it up and looked at it. The car had a scratch on its side. + +"Oh no!" Lila said. "My new toy is broken!" + +She felt sad and started to cry. Her mom heard her and came to see what was wrong. + +"What happened, Lila?" her mom asked. + +"My new car is broken!" Lila said, showing her mom the scratch. + +Her mom hugged her and took the car in her hand. She looked at it and smiled. + +"It's not broken, Lila. It's just a little scratch. It's still a good car. It can still make noise and move fast. Do you want to test it again?" + +Lila nodded and wiped her tears. She took the car from her mom and pushed the button again. The car made a loud noise and moved fast. + +"Yay!" Lila said. "It still works!" + +She smiled and ran after the car. Her mom watched her and smiled too. She was glad that Lila was happy with her new toy. +Ben and Lily were playing in their room. They liked to dress up with their mom's clothes and pretend to be grown-ups. They found a big hanger in the closet. It was shiny and had many colors. + +"Look, Lily, this is an impressive hanger!" Ben said. "It can hold many things. Let's see what we can hang on it." + +They took some scarves, hats, belts, and bags from the closet and hung them on the hanger. The hanger became very heavy and full. Ben and Lily smiled and admired their work. + +"Wow, we made a beautiful rainbow!" Lily said. "Can we show it to mom?" + +"Sure, let's go!" Ben said. He lifted the hanger with both hands and started to walk to the door. Lily followed him. + +But the hanger was too big and heavy for Ben. He tripped on a toy and lost his balance. The hanger flew out of his hands and hit the window. The window broke with a loud crash. The hanger and the clothes fell to the ground. Ben and Lily gasped and covered their ears. + +Mom heard the noise and ran to the room. She saw the broken window, the hanger, and the clothes. She was very angry and scared. + +"Ben! Lily! What have you done?" she shouted. "You could have hurt yourselves or someone else! How did this happen?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other and felt very sorry. They knew they had made a big mistake. They told mom the truth and apologized. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you're not hurt, but you have to be more careful. You can't play with things that are not yours or that are dangerous. And you have to clean up this mess. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We're sorry, mom." + +They helped mom to clean up the room and the window. They learned their lesson and never played with the impressive hanger again. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to paint. They had many colors and brushes and papers. They painted flowers and cars and animals and houses. They had fun and made pretty pictures. + +One day, they saw a big iron in the room. It was shiny and had a long cord. They wondered what it was for. They wanted to try it. They thought it could make their pictures better. + +"Let's paint the iron!" Lily said. "It will look nice with red and blue and yellow." + +"OK!" Tom said. "But we have to be careful. It is high and heavy. We need a chair to reach it." + +They got a chair and climbed on it. They took their paints and brushes and started to paint the iron. They did not know that the iron was hot. They did not see the light on the iron. They did not hear the hiss of the steam. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. "The iron is hot! It burned my hand!" + +"Ow!" Tom cried. "The iron is hot! It burned my brush!" + +They dropped their paints and brushes and jumped off the chair. The iron fell down too. It landed on their papers and made a big fire. The fire spread to the curtains and the carpet and the sofa. The room was full of smoke and flames. + +"Help!" Lily and Tom screamed. "Fire! Fire!" + +They ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. They banged on the door and shouted for help. But no one came. They were trapped in the room with the fire. They were scared and sorry. They wished they had not painted the iron. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad. They wished they had been good. But it was too late. The end. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. One day, they decided to have a cheese race. They each got a slice of cheese and put it on a spoon. They had to run to the other side of the yard without dropping the cheese. + +"Ready, set, go!" Tom shouted and started to run. Sam followed him, but he was not as fast. He saw that Tom was ahead of him and felt angry. He wanted to win, so he had a bad idea. He threw his cheese at Tom, hoping to make him drop his. + +But Tom saw the cheese flying towards him and moved his head. The cheese missed him and landed on the grass. Tom kept running and reached the finish line. He turned around and saw Sam still running with an empty spoon. + +"Ha ha, I won!" Tom said. "You are a bad loser, Sam. You cheated and threw your cheese at me. That is not fair." + +Sam felt ashamed and sorry. He knew he had done wrong. He ran to Tom and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. You are right. I was a bad loser and I cheated. I should not have thrown my cheese at you. That was not nice. Can you forgive me?" + +Tom looked at Sam and saw that he was sincere. He smiled and said, "It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. You are my brother and I love you. Next time, let's play fair and have fun. And maybe we can share the cheese instead of racing with it." + +Sam nodded and hugged Tom. They both learned a lesson that day. They learned that cheating is wrong and that being competitive is not as important as being kind and loving. They also learned that cheese is yummy and better to eat than to throw. +Mia liked to make cards for her friends. She used paper, glue, scissors and stickers. She made a card for Lily, her best friend. The card was attractive. It had a big heart, a rainbow and a star. Mia wrote "I love you, Lily" inside. + +Mia wanted to give the card to Lily at school. She put the card in her backpack and went to the bus. She was happy and excited. She remembered how Lily always shared her toys and snacks with her. She hoped Lily would like the card. + +But when Mia got to school, she saw Lily playing with another girl. The girl had long blond hair and a pink dress. She was holding a doll that Mia wanted. Lily saw Mia and said, "Hi, Mia. This is Emma. She is my new friend. She has the same doll as me. Do you want to play with us?" + +Mia felt sad and angry. She did not want to play with Lily and Emma. She wanted Lily to be her friend only. She took the card out of her backpack and tore it into pieces. She threw the pieces on the ground and ran away. She cried and cried. + +Lily and Emma did not understand why Mia did that. They looked at the pieces of the card and saw the heart, the rainbow and the star. They saw the words "I love you, Lily". They felt sorry for Mia, but they did not know how to make her feel better. They went back to playing with their dolls. Mia was alone. +Lily and Max were having dinner with their mom and dad. They ate their soup, their bread, and their salad. They were very hungry, but they also wanted dessert. Mom had made a cake with chocolate and cream. It looked yummy. + +"Can we have dessert now?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. You have to finish your dinner first," Mom said. + +"But I'm full!" Max said. + +"You're not full, you're just eager. You have to eat a little more, or you'll be hungry later," Dad said. + +Lily and Max sighed. They wanted the cake so much. They tried to be patient, but it was hard. They looked at the cake on the table. It smelled good. + +"Please, Mom, please, Dad, can we have dessert now?" they asked together. + +Mom and Dad smiled. They saw that Lily and Max had eaten most of their dinner. They were proud of them. + +"Okay, okay, you can have dessert now. But only a small piece, okay?" Mom said. + +"Yay! Thank you, Mom! Thank you, Dad!" Lily and Max said. + +They ran to the table and grabbed their plates. Mom cut the cake and gave them each a slice. They filled their mouths with the cake. It was soft and sweet and delicious. They smiled and licked their lips. + +"Mmm, this is the best dessert ever!" Lily said. + +"I agree!" Max said. + +They finished their cake and drank some milk. They felt happy and full. They thanked Mom and Dad for the dinner and the dessert. They hugged them and kissed them. + +"Can we have cake again tomorrow?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe, if you're good and patient," Mom said. + +"We will, we promise!" Max said. + +They went to brush their teeth and get ready for bed. They dreamed of chocolate and cream. +Anna and Ben went to the store with Mom. They liked to help Mom get groceries. Anna pushed the big cart. Ben put things in the cart. Mom said what things they needed. + +Anna saw a dull green ball. She wanted the ball. She took it from the shelf and put it in the cart. Ben saw a bright red car. He wanted the car. He took it from the shelf and put it in the cart. Mom did not see the ball and the car. + +They went to the cashier. The cashier scanned the groceries. She saw the ball and the car. She said, "Do you want these toys?" Mom looked surprised. She said, "No, we don't need these toys. Put them back, please." + +Anna and Ben felt sad. They did not want to put the toys back. They liked the toys. They cried and whined. Mom said, "Stop crying. You have enough toys at home. We only buy groceries here." + +Anna and Ben stopped crying. They pushed the cart with Mom. They put the groceries in the car. They went home. They played with their old toys. They forgot about the ball and the car. They had fun. +One day, a playful squirrel found a big nut in the park. He was very happy and wanted to carry it to his home in the tree. But the nut was too heavy for him. He tried to lift it with his teeth, but it fell to the ground. He tried to push it with his paws, but it rolled away. He tried to drag it with his tail, but it got stuck in the grass. + +He was very sad and tired. He sat on the nut and cried. He did not see a big dog coming his way. The dog saw the nut and the squirrel. He barked and ran towards them. He wanted to eat the nut and the squirrel. + +The squirrel was very scared. He did not know what to do. He looked around and saw a girl on a bike. She had a basket on her bike. She was wearing a pink hat and a blue dress. She was very kind and friendly. + +She saw the dog and the squirrel. She stopped her bike and shouted at the dog. "Go away, bad dog! Leave the squirrel alone!" She picked up the nut and put it in her basket. She reached out her hand and said to the squirrel. "Come with me, little squirrel. I will help you. You can be my friend." + +The squirrel was very grateful. He jumped on her hand and climbed on her shoulder. He felt safe and warm. He thanked the girl and gave her a kiss on the cheek. The girl smiled and said to the squirrel. "You are very welcome, little squirrel. You are very brave and smart. You can keep the nut. It is your prize. But you have to share it with your family and friends. That is the right thing to do." + +The squirrel nodded and agreed. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that sometimes he needs help from others. He learned that kindness and friendship are more important than nuts. He learned that sharing is caring. He was very happy and proud. He waved goodbye to the girl and went to his home in the tree. He carried the nut with him and shared it with his family and friends. They all enjoyed the nut and thanked the girl and the squirrel. They all lived happily ever after. The end. +Lily was a gifted girl who liked to make things. She had a big box of old toys, wires, and batteries that she used to invent new gadgets. One day, she decided to make a robot that could stir her soup for her. + +She took a spoon, a battery, some tape, and a small motor from an old car toy. She taped the spoon to the motor and the motor to the battery. Then she turned on the switch and watched the spoon spin around. She was very proud of her robot. + +She ran to the kitchen with her robot and put it in a pot of soup that her mom was cooking. She said, "Look, mom, I made a robot that can stir the soup for you!" + +Her mom was surprised and smiled. She said, "Wow, Lily, that's very clever of you! But you know, you shouldn't put batteries in the soup. They can be dangerous and make the soup taste bad." + +Lily didn't know that. She said, "Oh, I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to make the soup bad. I just wanted to help you." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I appreciate your help. But next time, ask me before you use my things, okay? And maybe you can find a safer way to make your robot work." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a gifted girl who can do amazing things. But you also need to be careful and learn from your mistakes." +Anna liked mints very much. She liked how they made her mouth feel cold and fresh. She had a jar of mints on her shelf, but she was not allowed to eat them all the time. Mommy said too many mints would make her teeth hurt. + +One day, Anna saw the jar of mints on her shelf and wanted one very badly. She looked around and saw that Mommy was busy in the kitchen. She thought she could get one mint without Mommy knowing. She climbed on her bed and reached for the jar. But she was too clumsy and knocked the jar over. The jar fell on the floor and broke. Mints rolled everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Anna cried. She heard Mommy coming. She tried to pick up the mints and the broken jar, but it was too late. Mommy saw the mess and was very angry. + +"Anna, what did you do?" Mommy asked. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted a mint, but I was clumsy and dropped the jar," Anna said. + +Mommy sighed. She was not happy, but she was not mean. She hugged Anna and said, "I know you like mints, but you have to ask me first. And you have to be careful with glass jars. They can hurt you if they break. Now let's clean up this mess together." + +Anna nodded. She felt bad for being clumsy and sneaky. She helped Mommy clean up the mints and the jar. She learned her lesson. She decided to wait for Mommy to give her a mint next time. She hoped Mommy would still love her. Mommy smiled and gave her a kiss. She said, "I love you, Anna. But no more mints today, okay?" + +Anna smiled back. She said, "Okay, Mommy. I love you too." +Sara likes to decorate. She has many stickers, crayons and glitter. She likes to make things pretty and colorful. One day, she finds a big blouse in her mom's closet. It is white and long. Sara thinks it is boring. + +She takes the blouse and some stickers to her room. She puts the blouse on her bed. She starts to stick the stickers on the blouse. She makes a flower, a star, a heart and a smiley face. She thinks the blouse looks much better now. + +She puts on the blouse over her dress. It is very big for her, but she likes it. She goes to show her mom. Her mom is in the kitchen. She sees Sara and smiles. + +"Wow, Sara, what a lovely blouse you have!" her mom says. "Did you decorate it yourself?" + +"Yes, mom, I did!" Sara says proudly. "Do you like it?" + +"I do, Sara, I do. It is very creative and fun. But you know, this blouse is mine. It is not yours. You should have asked me before you used it." + +Sara feels sad. She did not know the blouse was her mom's. She thought it was just an old blouse. She says sorry to her mom. + +"It's okay, Sara. I'm not angry. I know you like to decorate. But next time, please ask me first. Maybe we can find another blouse for you to decorate. Or maybe we can decorate something else together. How about that?" + +Sara nods. She hugs her mom. She says she loves her. Her mom hugs her back. She says she loves her too. They go to Sara's room. They find some paper and crayons. They start to decorate some cards for their friends. They have fun. Sara is happy. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. They went to the kitchen and looked in the fridge. They saw some cheese, some bread, some milk and some jam. + +"Let's make cheese sandwiches and milkshakes!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Tom said. + +They took out the cheese and the bread. They cut the cheese and put it on the bread. They made two sandwiches. They took out the milk and the jam. They poured some milk in the blender. They added some jam. They turned on the blender. It made a loud noise. + +"Look, the milk is pink!" Tom said. + +"Pink is my favorite color!" Lily said. + +They poured the pink milk in two cups. They took their sandwiches and their milkshakes to the table. They sat down and smiled. + +"We prepared a good lunch!" Lily said. + +"Yes, we did!" Tom said. + +They ate and drank and enjoyed their lunch. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They saw a big boat in the water. It was white and shiny. It had a flag and a sail. + +"Wow, look at that boat!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!" + +"That is not a boat, Lily. That is a yacht," Ben said. He was older than Lily and knew more words. "A yacht is a very big and fancy boat. Only rich people have yachts." + +Lily nodded. She wanted to see the yacht up close. She ran to the water and waved at the yacht. "Hello, yacht! Can I come and play with you?" + +Ben followed her. He was worried. The water was deep and the yacht was far. "Lily, stop! You can't go to the yacht. It is not safe. You can't swim that far. You need a life jacket and a boat." + +Lily stopped. She looked at the water. It was blue and sparkly. She looked at the yacht. It was white and shiny. She looked at Ben. He was frowning and scared. + +"Sorry, Ben. I forgot. The water is not easy. It can be dangerous. You remind me to be careful. Thank you, Ben." + +Ben smiled. He hugged Lily. "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you are safe. You are my sister and I love you." + +They went back to the sand. They made a sand castle. They pretended it was a yacht. They had fun. They were happy. +Tom and Mia like to sail. They have a small boat with a red sail. They sail on the lake near their home. They have fun and see fish and birds. + +One day, they sail too far. The sky becomes dark and the wind blows hard. They hear thunder and see lightning. It is a storm. A bad storm. They are scared. + +"Tom, what do we do?" Mia asks. + +"We have to go back. We have to sail fast and careful. Hold on to the boat. I will steer." Tom says. + +They sail back to the shore. The waves are big and splash them. The sail flaps and tears. The boat rocks and tips. They are wet and cold. + +They see their home. They see their mom and dad. They wave and shout. Mom and dad run to the lake. They help Tom and Mia out of the boat. They hug them and dry them. + +"Are you okay? We were so worried. You should not sail in a storm. It is too dangerous." Mom says. + +"We are sorry. We did not see the storm. We were scared. We are glad you are here." Mia says. + +"We are glad you are safe. You are brave. But you have to be careful. Next time, check the weather before you sail. And do not sail too far." Dad says. + +Tom and Mia nod. They love to sail. But they do not like storms. They learned a lesson. They will be more careful. They will listen to mom and dad. They will sail another day. When the sky is clear and the wind is gentle. +Jill and Sam were happy to move to a new house. They had many boxes to unpack. Jill liked to unpack her toys and books. Sam liked to unpack his cars and trains. + +One day, they saw a big hole in the garden. "What is that?" Jill asked. "Maybe it is a mole," Sam said. "A mole is a small animal that digs in the ground. It has a long nose and soft fur." + +They wanted to see the mole. They waited near the hole. They were very quiet. They hoped the mole would come out. + +Soon, they saw something move in the hole. It was not a mole. It was an orange cat. The cat had a bell on its neck. It looked at them and meowed. + +"Hello, cat!" Jill and Sam said. "Are you the one who made the hole?" The cat nodded and rubbed its head on their legs. It was friendly. Jill and Sam liked the cat. They decided to name it Mole. They took it inside and gave it some milk. They unpacked a box and made a bed for it. Mole was happy to have a new home. Jill and Sam were happy to have a new friend. +Jill and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the old house near the park. The old house was big and dark and had many rooms. Jill and Tom liked to pretend they were explorers and find new things. + +One day, they found a door that was locked. They wondered what was behind it. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They tried to push the door, but it did not move. They heard a noise from the other side. It sounded like a moan. + +"Who is there?" Jill asked. + +"I am a ghost," a voice said. "I am lonely and sad. Please let me out." + +Jill and Tom were scared. They did not like ghosts. They wanted to run away, but they felt sorry for the ghost. + +"Maybe we can comfort him," Jill said. "Maybe he is not so bad." + +"OK," Tom said. "But we have to be careful." + +They looked for something to open the door. They found a hammer in a drawer. They used the hammer to break the lock. The door opened with a creak. + +They saw a ghost. He was white and misty and had no legs. He had a big smile on his face. He looked jolly. + +"Thank you, thank you," the ghost said. "You are very kind. Now I can have some fun." + +He flew out of the door and grabbed Jill and Tom by the arms. He dragged them into the dark room. He shut the door behind him. + +"Help, help!" Jill and Tom screamed. But no one heard them. The ghost laughed and laughed. He was not lonely and sad anymore. He was happy and mean. He had new friends to play with. Forever. +Lila and Anna were best friends. They liked to play with dolls every day. They had many dolls, but their favorite was Molly. Molly had long hair, a pink dress and a fat belly. They loved to brush her hair and dress her up. + +One day, Lila and Anna had a big fight. They both wanted to play with Molly, but they did not want to share. They pulled and pulled on Molly's arms, until they heard a loud rip. Molly's arm came off! Lila and Anna gasped. They looked at Molly's arm in their hands, and then at Molly's sad face. + +They felt very sorry for Molly. They also felt sorry for each other. They did not want to fight anymore. They hugged and said sorry. They decided to part Molly's arm. Lila kept the arm, and Anna kept the doll. They agreed to take turns playing with Molly, and to fix her arm later. + +They put Molly in a chair and gave her a bandage. They told her they were sorry, and that they loved her. They said they would be more careful with her, and with their friendship. They smiled and kissed Molly's cheek. Then they played with their other dolls, and had fun. They were happy again. +Tom and Anna liked to play in the park near the big church. The church had a tall tower and a big bell that rang every hour. Sometimes, they saw people go in and out of the church, wearing nice clothes and carrying flowers or books. + +One day, Tom and Anna saw a big crowd of people outside the church. They heard music and cheering and saw a man and a woman in white come out of the church. They were holding hands and smiling. The people threw rice and petals at them and took pictures. + +"Who are they?" Tom asked Anna. + +"They are getting married," Anna said. "They are very happy and they love each other." + +"Why are there so many people?" Tom asked. + +"Because they are famous," Anna said. "They are on TV and in magazines. Everyone wants to see them." + +Tom and Anna wanted to see them too, but they were too small and the crowd was too big. They tried to push their way through, but they could not. They felt sad and left out. + +"Let's go back to the park," Tom said. + +"OK," Anna said. + +They walked back to the park, where they saw their friends waiting for them. They had a ball and a kite and some snacks. They invited Tom and Anna to join them. + +"Come on, let's play!" they said. + +Tom and Anna smiled and ran to their friends.

Today is their birthday. They are very happy. + +Mom and Dad give them a big box. They open it. Inside is a car. A red car. A car that can move by itself. Tom and Lily clap their hands. They say, "Thank you, Mom and Dad!" + +Tom wants to play with the car first. He grabs it. He says, "This is my car. I am the driver. You are the passenger. You have to do what I say." + +Lily does not like that. She says, "No, Tom. This is our car. We have to share. I want to be the driver too. You are too bossy." + +Tom and Lily start to fight. They pull the car. They shout. They cry. + +Mom and Dad hear them. They come to the room. They see the car. They see Tom and Lily. They are not happy. + +They say, "Tom and Lily, stop fighting. This is a birthday gift. It is for both of you. You have to take turns. You have to be nice. You have to say sorry." + +Tom and Lily feel bad. They let go of the car. They hug each other.

It can fly in the air and make noise. + +One day, Tom and Lily are playing with the helicopter in the garden. They take turns to fly it and catch it. They are having fun. + +But then, Tom throws the helicopter too hard. It flies over the fence and lands on the road. Tom and Lily run to the fence and look. They see a big car coming. The car hits the helicopter and breaks it. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Lily cry. "Our helicopter is broken!" + +They are very sad. They want their helicopter back. They go to their mom and tell her what happened. + +Mom hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. That was an accident. Sometimes things break. But don't worry, we can get a new helicopter. Or maybe we can fix this one. Let's go and see." + +Mom takes them to the road and picks up the broken helicopter. She looks at it and says, "Hmm, it's not too bad. Maybe we can glue it together. Do you want to help me?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They are happy. They go with mom to the house and get some glue. They help mom to put the helicopter back together. It takes a long time, but they do it. + +The helicopter is not perfect, but it can still fly and make noise. Tom and Lily are proud. They thank mom and hug her. They go back to the garden and play with the helicopter again. They are careful not to throw it too hard. They are happy. +Sara and Tom were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to draw many things, like flowers, cars, and animals. Sara had a blue crayon and Tom had a red one. + +"Look, I made a big fish!" Sara said, showing her paper to Tom. + +"That's nice, but I made a faster car!" Tom said, holding his paper up. + +They kept drawing and talking, until Sara noticed something strange. Her blue crayon was getting smaller and smaller. She looked at Tom's red crayon and saw that it was also shrinking. + +"Hey, what's happening to our crayons?" Sara asked, worried. + +"I don't know, maybe they are magic crayons!" Tom said, excited. + +They watched as their crayons became tiny bits of ink on their paper. Then, the ink started to fade and vanish. Soon, their paper was white again, with no trace of their drawings. + +"Where did our drawings go?" Sara cried, sad. + +"They vanished, like magic!" Tom said, amazed. + +They looked around and saw a grumpy cat sitting on the table. The cat had a smug smile and some blue and red ink on its fur. + +"Did you do this, cat?" Sara asked, angry. + +"Meow!" the cat said, and jumped off the table, running away. + +Sara and Tom chased the cat, but it was too fast and clever. They could not catch it or get their drawings back. + +They were very sad and mad at the cat. They decided to get new crayons and paper, and draw something else. But they also decided to keep an eye on the cat, in case it tried to ruin their drawings again. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. But sometimes they had a fight over who got to play with what. One day, they both wanted to play with the same train. They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other. + +"Mine!" Lily said. + +"No, mine!" Ben said. + +They fought so hard that they broke the train. The wheels came off and the smokestack snapped. They both felt sad and sorry. They looked at the broken train and then at each other. + +"Can we fix it?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. + +They decided to try. They found some glue and tape and put the train back together. It was not perfect, but it was better than before. They smiled and hugged each other. + +"Sorry for being spoiled," Lily said. + +"Me too," Ben said. + +They agreed to share the train and take turns. They played nicely and had fun. They learned that fighting was not good and fixing was better. They were happy twins. +Ben did not like vegetables. He thought they were yucky and green and bitter. He always pushed them away when his mom gave him a plate of food. He only wanted to eat cheese and bread and cake. + +One day, his mom said, "Ben, you have to eat your vegetables. They are good for you. They make you strong and healthy and smart. If you don't eat them, you will not get any dessert." + +Ben frowned. He did not want to eat his vegetables. He did not care about being strong and healthy and smart. He only cared about dessert. He said, "No, mom, I don't want to eat them. They are gross. I want dessert now." + +His mom was angry. She said, "Ben, you are being rude and stubborn. You have to eat what I give you. You have to be grateful and respectful. If you don't eat your vegetables, you will not get any dessert. And you will have to go to your room." + +Ben was angry too. He said, "No, mom, you are mean and unfair. You can't make me eat them. I don't want to go to my room. I want dessert now." + +He threw his plate on the floor. The vegetables spilled everywhere. His mom was very angry. She said, "Ben, you are being naughty and wasteful. You have to clean up this mess. And you will not get any dessert. And you will have to go to your room. And you will have no toys." + +Ben realized he made a big mistake. He felt sorry and sad. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I should have eaten my vegetables. I should have listened to you. I should have been nice and polite. Can I have dessert now?" + +His mom said, "No, Ben, you can't have dessert now. You have to learn your lesson. You have to eat your vegetables first. And you have to clean up this mess. And you have to go to your room. And you have to say sorry again." + +Ben did what his mom said. He ate his vegetables. He cleaned up his mess. He went to his room. He said sorry again. He felt better. He learned his lesson. He decided to eat his vegetables from now on. He hoped his mom would forgive him. He hoped he would get dessert tomorrow. + +The moral of the story is: You should eat your vegetables. They are good for you. You should listen to your mom. She knows what is best for you. You should be grateful and respectful. You should not be rude and stubborn. You should not throw your food on the floor. You should say sorry when you do something wrong. You should learn from your mistakes. You should be nice and polite.

And you should brush your teeth after eating candy. It can make your teeth bad." + +Lily and Max say, "Okay, mom. We're sorry. We will tell you next time. And we will brush our teeth. We love you, mom." + +Their mom says, "I love you too, kids. Come on, let's go home." + +They hug their mom and go to their apartment. They brush their teeth and wash their faces.

She was very happy. +Tom and Anna went to the circus with their mom and dad. They saw many animals and people doing tricks. They liked the circus very much. But they did not like the clowns. The clowns had big noses, big shoes, and big smiles. They made loud noises and jokes. Tom and Anna thought the clowns were scary. + +One clown saw Tom and Anna sitting in the front row. He decided to joke with them. He walked up to them and said, "Hello, little ones! Do you want to see a magic trick?" Tom and Anna shook their heads. They wanted the clown to go away. But the clown did not listen. He took out a big red balloon and blew it up. Then he twisted it into a shape of a dog. He said, "Look, it's a balloon dog! Do you like it?" Tom and Anna did not answer. They were afraid of the balloon dog. + +The clown smiled and said, "Don't be scared. It's just a joke. Here, you can have it." He handed the balloon dog to Tom. Tom did not want to touch it. He was sure it would pop and make a loud noise. He tried to push it away. But the clown did not let go. He said, "Come on, take it. It's a gift." He pushed the balloon dog into Tom's hands. Tom felt the balloon dog squirm and squeak. He screamed and threw it away. The balloon dog flew into the air and landed on a big cage. The cage had a sign that said, "Danger! Lion!" + +The lion inside the cage saw the balloon dog. He thought it was a real dog. He roared and jumped at it. He bit the balloon dog and popped it. The loud noise scared the lion.

She ran to her mom and told her about the bug. + +Her mom said, "That is a wasp. It can sting you and hurt you. You have to be careful and stay away from it. I will get a spray and make it go away." + +Lily nodded and waited for her mom. She hoped her roses would be okay. She loved them so much. + +Her mom came back with a spray and a glove. She sprayed the wasp and it fell to the ground. She picked it up with the glove and threw it in the trash. She checked the roses and saw that they were not too bad. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. Your roses will be fine. They are strong and beautiful. You are a good girl for taking care of them and telling me about the wasp. You rescued your roses from the bug." + +Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are a good mom. I love you and I love my roses."

She likes oranges. They are round and sweet and juicy. She wants to get one for Lily. She reaches for an orange, but another hand grabs it first. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Sara says. She looks up and sees a boy. He is bigger than her and has a mean face. He holds the orange and laughs. + +"No, it's mine!" the boy says. "You are too little to have oranges. Go away!" + +Sara feels angry and sad. She wants the orange for Lily. She thinks the boy is rude and mean. She pulls on the orange, but the boy pulls harder. They tug and tug, but neither lets go. + +"Stop it, both of you!" mom says. She hears the noise and comes over. She sees Sara and the boy fighting over the orange. She takes the orange from them and puts it back on the shelf. + +"Sharing is nice, fighting is not," mom says. "You can't just take things from other people. You have to ask nicely or wait your turn." + +Sara nods. She knows mom is right. She says sorry to the boy. The boy says sorry too. He looks less mean now. He says his name is Ben. He says he likes oranges too. + +"Maybe we can share an orange," Ben says. He smiles at Sara. Sara smiles back. She says her name is Sara.

It had a door, a window, and a roof. + +"That's nice, Lily. But I made a car!" Tom said, showing Lily his cube car. It had wheels, a seat, and a steering wheel. + +They were having fun, but they did not see that their cat, Fluffy, was watching them. Fluffy was a furry cat, and he liked to play with anything that moved. He saw the cubes, and he thought they were mice. He wanted to catch them and bite them. + +Fluffy jumped on the table, where Tom and Lily had put some cubes. He knocked them down, and they rolled on the floor. Tom and Lily heard the noise, and they turned to see what it was. + +"Fluffy, no!" Lily shouted. "Those are our cubes, not mice!" + +Fluffy did not listen. He chased the cubes, and he caught one in his mouth. He bit it hard, but it was not soft like a mouse. It was hard and sharp, and it hurt his teeth. + +"Meow!" Fluffy cried. He dropped the cube, and he ran away. He hid under the sofa, and he licked his sore mouth. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for Fluffy. They knew he did not mean to be bad. They picked up their cubes, and they put them back in the box. Then they went to the sofa, and they looked for Fluffy. + +"Fluffy, come out. We are not mad at you," Tom said. + +"We have a treat for you. A real mouse, not a cube," Lily said. + +They heard a purr, and they saw Fluffy's head.
