They felt happy. + +The grumpy man heard their laughter and looked at them. He saw them having fun with the leaves. He felt curious and lonely.

He looked friendly and kind. + +"Sure, you can play with us!" Tom said. + +"Here, you can have my toy car!" Lily said. + +The grumpy man smiled and took the toy car.

They promised to play again soon. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tent in the park. It had many colors and pictures on it. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's go and see," Tom said. "Maybe it is a fun event." + +"But Mom said we should not go near strangers," Lily said. "Maybe it is not safe." + +Tom did not listen. He was curious. He ran to the tent. Lily followed him. She did not want to be alone. + +Inside the tent, they saw many people. They wore funny clothes and masks. They made noises and danced. Lily and Tom were scared. They did not like it. + +"Hello, little ones," a man said. He had a big nose and a red hat. He smiled, but his teeth were yellow and dirty. "Do you want to join our show?" + +"No, thank you," Lily said. She tried to pull Tom away. "We want to go home." + +But the man did not let them go. He grabbed their hands. He was strong and mean. He dragged them to the center of the tent. He made them stand on a stool. He gave them a stupid hat and a horn. + +"Now, you are our clowns," he said. "Make everyone laugh, or else." + +Lily and Tom did not want to be clowns. They wanted to cry. They looked for a way out. But they saw no door. They saw no Mom. They saw no help. They were trapped. They were sorry. They wished they had not wondered. +Lily and Ben were playing in the pool. They liked to splash and swim and pretend they were fish. Lily saw something shiny at the bottom of the pool. She wanted to see what it was. + +"Look, Ben, a gem!" she said, pointing to the water. "I want to get it. Do you want to come with me?" + +Ben shook his head. He was lazy and did not want to dive. He liked to float on his back and look at the sky. + +"No, thank you, Lily. You can go by yourself. I will stay here and rest," he said. + +Lily did not mind. She took a big breath and dove into the water. She swam fast and reached the gem. It was blue and sparkly and made her happy. She grabbed it and came back to the surface. + +"Wow, Lily, you did it!" Ben said, seeing the gem in her hand. "It is very pretty. Can I see it?" + +Lily smiled and showed him the gem. She was proud of herself. She had dived and found a treasure. + +"Here, you can have it, Ben. It is a gift for you," she said, giving him the gem. + +Ben was surprised and happy. He thanked Lily and hugged her. He was not lazy anymore. He wanted to dive and play with Lily. + +They had fun in the pool with their gem. They were good friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. Some are big, some are small, some are red, some are blue. + +One day, Tom and Sam decide to have a race with their cars and trucks. They make a track on the floor with tape and books. They choose their fastest cars and trucks. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars and trucks along the track. + +Tom's car is very fast. It zooms past Sam's truck. Tom is happy. He thinks he will win the race. Sam's truck is slower, but it is strong. It can push books and toys out of the way. Sam is not happy. He wants to win the race too. + +Tom's car is almost at the end of the track. He sees a big hammer on the floor. He does not see Sam's truck behind him. Sam's truck bumps into Tom's car. Tom's car hits the hammer. The hammer makes a loud noise. Tom's car flips over and stops. Sam's truck passes Tom's car and reaches the end of the track. Sam wins the race. + +Tom is sad. He looks at his car. It has a dent and a scratch. He says, "You cheated! You pushed my car with your truck! That's not fair!" Sam is proud. He says, "I did not cheat! I used my truck's power! That's smart!" They start to argue. They do not want to be friends anymore. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees the track, the cars, the trucks, and the hammer. She sees Tom and Sam. They are angry and loud. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? Why is there a hammer on the floor?" Tom and Sam stop arguing. They look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We had a race. We wanted to win. We did not mean to make a mess." Mom says, "It's okay to have a race. It's fun to play. But you have to be careful and respectful. You have to share and take turns. You have to be good friends. And you have to put away the hammer. It's not a toy. It's dangerous." Tom and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry." They hug Mom. They hug each other. They are friends again. They clean up the room. They put away the hammer. They play with their cars and trucks. They have fun. They are happy. +Anna did not like haircuts. They made her sit still and hurt her head. She wanted to have long hair like her doll. But Mommy said she had to get a haircut today. She said it would make her look pretty and neat. + +Anna was very sad. She did not want to go to the salon. She cried and kicked and screamed. But Mommy did not listen. She took her by the hand and dragged her to the car. She said it would be over soon and then they would get ice cream. + +At the salon, Anna saw a lady with scissors. She was scared. She did not want the lady to cut her hair. She hid behind Mommy and clung to her leg. But Mommy said she had to be brave and sit on the chair. She said the lady was nice and gentle. + +Anna did not believe her. She shook her head and said no. But Mommy lifted her up and put her on the chair. She gave her a book to look at and a lollipop to suck. She said it would make her feel better and distract her. + +Anna tried to look at the book and suck the lollipop. But she could not. She felt the lady pull her hair and snip it with the scissors. She heard the sound of her hair falling on the floor. She felt the cold air on her neck and ears. She hated it. She wanted to scream and run away. + +But she could not. She had to sit still and let the lady cut her hair. She felt tears in her eyes and a lump in her throat. She looked at Mommy and hoped she would stop the lady. But Mommy did not. She smiled and said Anna looked beautiful. + +Anna did not feel beautiful. She felt terrible. She looked at the mirror and saw her haircut. It was short and uneven and ugly. She did not look like herself. She did not look like her doll. She looked like a boy. + +Anna hated her haircut. She hated the lady. She hated Mommy. She threw the book and the lollipop on the floor. She yelled and sobbed and kicked. She said she wanted her hair back. She said she wanted to go home. + +Mommy was shocked. She did not know what to do. She apologized to the lady and paid her. She picked up Anna and carried her to the car. She said she was sorry and that she loved her. She said her hair would grow back and that she was still pretty. + +Anna did not care. She did not want to hear Mommy. She did not want to see her haircut. She buried her face in Mommy's shoulder and cried. She wished she never had a haircut. She wished she had long hair like her doll. She wished she was happy. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play and have fun. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. + +They see a big box in the living room. It has a bow and a card. The card says: "Happy birthday, Lily and Tom! Love, Mom and Dad." + +They run to the box. They want to see what is inside. They open the box together. They are very quick. + +Inside the box, they find a brilliant surprise. It is a big tent. It has stars and moons on it. It is blue and yellow. It is for them. + +They scream with joy. They hug Mom and Dad. They say thank you. They take the tent to their room. They set it up. They pretend they are camping. They have a lot of fun. They are very happy. +Lily and Sam liked to play with clay. They made animals and people and houses with clay. They had many colors of clay: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. + +One day, Lily and Sam wanted to number their clay things. They found some sticks and wrote numbers on them. They put the sticks next to their clay things. Lily had one cat, two dogs, and three birds. Sam had one car, two boats, and three planes. + +But then, Lily saw that Sam had a blue clay cat. She liked blue clay cats. She wanted to have Sam's blue clay cat. She took the stick with the number one from Sam's car and put it next to the blue clay cat. She took the blue clay cat and put it next to her red clay cat. + +Sam saw what Lily did. He was angry. He said, "Lily, that is my blue clay cat! You took it from me! You are not nice!" + +Lily said, "But I like blue clay cats. I want to have one. You have many clay things. You can give me one." + +Sam said, "No, I cannot. That is my blue clay cat. I made it with my hands. You cannot take it from me. That is not fair. You have to give it back." + +Lily did not want to give it back. She held the blue clay cat tightly. She said, "No, I will not. It is mine now. I have the stick with the number one. That means it is mine." + +Sam was very sad. He said, "Lily, you are my friend. Friends do not take things from each other. Friends share and play together. Friends are kind. You are not being a friend. You are making me sad." + +Lily looked at Sam. She saw his sad face. She felt sorry. She said, "Sam, I am sorry. You are right. I was not being a friend. I was being selfish. I do not want to make you sad. Here, you can have your blue clay cat back. And you can have your stick with the number one too." + +Sam smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. I am sorry too. I was angry. I do not want to be angry with you. You are my friend. Here, you can have this yellow clay dog. I made it for you. It is a gift." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "Thank you, Sam. That is very nice of you. I like yellow clay dogs. It is a beautiful gift. You are my friend too." + +Lily and Sam hugged. They put their clay things together. They numbered them again. They had four cats, four dogs, six birds, one car, two boats, and three planes. They played with their clay things happily. They were good friends. +Sam and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Win a puppy! Come to the fair!" + +Sam and Tom want a puppy. They ask their moms to take them to the fair. Their moms say yes. They go to the fair with their moms. + +At the fair, there are many games. Sam and Tom play a game with rings. They have to throw the rings on a stick. If they get a ring on the stick, they win a prize. Sam and Tom try hard. They throw the rings. But the rings are too big and the stick is too small. They do not get any rings on the stick. They do not win a prize. + +They see another game. It is a game with balls. They have to hit a target with a ball. If they hit the target, they win a prize. Sam and Tom try hard. They throw the balls. But the balls are too heavy and the target is too far. They do not hit the target. They do not win a prize. + +They see one more game. It is a game with ducks. They have to pick a duck from a pond. If they pick the right duck, they win a prize. Sam and Tom try hard. They pick a duck. They look at the bottom of the duck. The duck has a number. They show the number to the man. The man smiles. He says: "You win a prize! You win a puppy!" + +Sam and Tom are happy. They hug the man. They hug their moms. They hug each other. They hug their puppy. Their puppy is small and soft and cute. He has brown fur and black eyes and a wet nose. He licks their faces. He wags his tail. He barks. Sam and Tom love their puppy. They name him Lucky. They say: "He is the best prize ever! He is our tough puppy!" +Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to create something yummy. They saw a big bottle of sauce on the counter. It was red and thick. + +"Let's use this sauce!" Anna said. "We can make a pizza!" + +"OK!" Ben said. "But we need some cheese and bread too." + +They looked around and found some cheese in the fridge and some bread in the cupboard. They put the bread on a plate and sprinkled some cheese on top. Then they poured some sauce over the cheese. + +"Look, we made a pizza!" Anna said proudly. + +They put the plate in the microwave and pressed some buttons. They waited for a few seconds until they heard a beep. + +"Yay, it's ready!" Ben said. He opened the microwave and took out the plate. The sauce was bubbling and the cheese was melted. + +They smelled the pizza and it smelled good. They took a bite and it tasted good too. + +"Mmm, this is delicious!" Anna said. + +"Me too, I like it!" Ben said. + +They ate the whole pizza and felt very happy. They were also very chubby. Their tummies were round and full. + +They heard their mom coming home. They ran to the door and hugged her. + +"Hi, mom!" they said. "We made a pizza for you!" + +Mom looked at the plate and saw the sauce and the cheese and the bread. She smiled and kissed them. + +"That's very nice of you, my sweeties!" she said. "But next time, please ask me before you use the sauce. That's not pizza sauce, that's ketchup!" +Anna liked to find things in the garden. She liked to dig with her shovel and look for worms and bugs. She also liked to pick flowers and fruits from the plants. One day, she saw a big green fruit hanging from a tree. She wanted to find out what it was. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, what is that green thing?" + +Her mom said, "That is an avocado. It is a fruit that you can eat. It is very yummy and healthy. Do you want to try it?" + +Anna said, "Yes, please. How do I get it?" + +Her mom said, "You need a ladder and a knife. I can help you get it, but you have to be careful. It is high and sharp." + +Anna said, "No, thank you. I can do it by myself. I am independent. I can find a way." + +Her mom said, "Okay, but be safe. I will watch you from here." + +Anna looked around the garden. She saw a big rock, a long stick, and a small spoon. She had an idea. She put the rock under the tree. She climbed on the rock. She reached for the avocado with the stick. She poked it until it fell down. She picked it up with the spoon. She was very happy. She had found the avocado by herself. + +She ran to her mom and said, "Look, mom, I found the avocado. I am independent. I did it by myself." + +Her mom said, "Wow, Anna, you are very clever and brave. I am proud of you. You found the avocado by yourself. But you also need to ask for help sometimes. It is okay to need help. Everyone needs help sometimes." + +Anna said, "Okay, mom. I understand. Can you help me cut the avocado? I want to taste it." + +Her mom said, "Of course, sweetie. Let's go inside and cut the avocado. I will show you how to do it. And then we can share it and enjoy it together." + +Anna said, "Yay, thank you, mom. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Anna. You are my independent and curious girl." +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play outside and create things with sticks, stones and mud. One day, they decided to create a big lake in the backyard. They dug a hole with their shovels and filled it with water from the hose. They added some leaves and flowers to make it pretty. + +"Look, we made a lake!" Lily said proudly. "It is very big and nice. We can pretend we are fish and swim in it." + +Tom nodded and smiled. He liked the lake too. He saw a frog hopping near the edge. He ran to catch it and put it in the lake. "Now we have a friend in our lake. He can be the king of the frogs. What should we name him?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to give the frog a special name. She looked at the sky and saw a bright star. She had an idea. "Let's name him Star. He is a famous frog. He can make wishes come true." + +Tom liked the name. He agreed with Lily. He held the frog gently and whispered, "Hello, Star. We are happy to meet you. We hope you like our lake. Can you make a wish for us?" + +The frog croaked and blinked his big eyes. He seemed to understand. He jumped out of Tom's hand and splashed into the lake. He swam to the middle and looked at Lily and Tom. He raised his head and made a loud croak. Then he winked at them and dived under the water. + +Lily and Tom clapped and cheered. They felt something magical happen. They hugged each other and thanked Star. They wondered what their wish would be. They decided to keep it a secret and wait for it to come true. They were very happy with their lake and their frog. They played until it was dark and then went inside. They dreamed of Star and their lake. They knew they had created something wonderful. +Anna liked to grow things in her garden. She had a big sunflower that was taller than her. She watered it every day and talked to it. She wanted to see its yellow face. + +One day, it was very hot outside. Anna put on her hat and went to the garden. She saw her sunflower was drooping. Its leaves were brown and dry. Anna felt sad and nervous. She ran to get the hose and sprayed water on the sunflower. + +But it was too late. The sunflower did not perk up. It stayed limp and sad. Anna cried and hugged the sunflower. She wished she had watered it more before the hot day. + +She learned a lesson. She had to take care of her plants every day, not just when they looked happy. She decided to grow more sunflowers next year and be a better gardener. She hoped they would smile at her. +Anna liked to play in the mud. She made mud pies and mud castles and mud animals. She did not care if she got dirty. She had fun. + +One day, she found something shiny in the mud. It was a gem. A gem is a pretty stone that sparkles. Anna liked the gem. She put it in her pocket and went home. + +She showed the gem to her mom. Her mom was surprised. She said, "Where did you find this? It is very rare and valuable. It is not an ordinary gem. It is a ruby." + +Anna said, "I found it in the mud. Can I keep it?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can keep it. But you have to wash it and dry it first. It is dirty from the mud." + +Anna washed the gem and dried it with a towel. It sparkled more than before. She put it on a necklace and wore it. She felt very happy. She had a special gem. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They also gave him two eyes, a mouth and a hanger for arms. + +"Look at our snowman!" Lily said. "He is so mighty and tall!" + +"Yes, he is!" Ben agreed. "But we have to go inside soon. It is getting dark and cold." + +They said goodbye to their snowman and ran to the house. They had hot chocolate and cookies with their mom. They told her about their snowman and how much fun they had. + +The next morning, Lily and Ben looked out the window. They gasped. Their snowman was gone! + +"Where is he?" Lily cried. "What happened to him?" + +Ben pointed to a puddle of water on the ground. There was the hat, the scarf, the carrot and the hanger. + +"He melted!" Ben said. "The sun was too hot for him. He turned into water." + +Lily felt sad. She liked their snowman. She wished he could stay with them. + +"Don't be sad, Lily," Ben said. "We can make another snowman when it snows again. And we can keep the hat, the scarf, the carrot and the hanger for him." + +Lily nodded. She smiled a little. She hugged Ben. + +"OK," she said. "But I will miss him. He was a mighty snowman." +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were monkeys, swinging from the vines that hung from the big tree. They made funny noises and laughed a lot. + +One day, they saw a new vine that was very long and thick. It looked like a rope. Lila wanted to try it, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, let's swing on the new vine. It will be fun!" Lila said. + +"No, Lila, it might be dangerous. What if it breaks or has thorns?" Ben said. + +"Don't be silly, Ben. It's just a vine. It won't hurt us. You are a brave and intelligent monkey, aren't you?" Lila said. + +Ben looked at the vine and then at Lila. He wanted to be brave and intelligent, but he also wanted to be safe. He thought for a moment and then said: + +"OK, Lila, I will swing on the new vine with you. But only if you go first and show me how to do it." + +Lila smiled and nodded. She grabbed the vine and swung across the garden. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She shouted with joy. + +"See, Ben, it's easy and fun! Come on, join me!" Lila said. + +Ben saw how happy Lila was and decided to accept her challenge. He took a deep breath and grabbed the vine. He swung after Lila and felt a thrill in his chest. He shouted with joy too. + +They swung back and forth on the new vine, feeling like monkeys. They were proud of themselves and of each other. They had a lot of fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw some big clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. + +"Let's go home, Tom. It will rain soon," Lily said. + +"No, I want to stay. I like the noise and the light. It is fun," Tom said. + +Lily was scared. She did not like the noise and the light. She thought it was dangerous. She grabbed Tom's hand and pulled him. + +"Come on, Tom. Please. It is not safe here," Lily said. + +Tom did not listen. He saw a bright flash in the sky. It was lightning. He pointed at it and shouted. + +"Look, Lily. Look at the lightning. It is so attractive. It makes a mark in the sky. I want to make a mark too," Tom said. + +He let go of Lily's hand and ran to a big tree. He took a stick and started to scratch the bark. He wanted to make a mark like the lightning. + +Lily followed him and cried. + +"Tom, stop. Don't do that. The tree is alive. It can feel pain. And the lightning can hurt you. It can hit the tree and make fire. You will get burned," Lily said. + +Tom did not hear her. He was busy with his stick. He did not see another flash of lightning. He did not hear another roar of thunder. He did not feel a shock of electricity. He fell to the ground and did not move. + +Lily screamed. She ran to Tom and shook him. + +"Tom, Tom, wake up. Please, wake up. I'm sorry. I should have made you come with me. Please, don't be dead," Lily said. + +She hugged him and cried. She hoped someone would come and help them. She hoped Tom would open his eyes and smile. She hoped the noise and the light would go away. She hoped it was all a bad dream. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big truck with a menu on the side. The menu has pictures of ice cream, cake, and candy. Tim and Jen want to try them all. + +"Mom, dad, can we have some treats from the truck?" they ask. + +"Sure, but only one each. And you have to share with each other," mom says. + +Tim and Jen run to the truck. They look at the menu and point to what they want. Tim picks a big cone with chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Jen picks a slice of cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. The truck man gives them their treats and smiles. + +"Enjoy, kids. But be careful, they are very sweet and cold," he says. + +Tim and Jen thank him and run back to their mom and dad. They sit on a bench and start to eat their treats. Tim takes a big bite of his cone and Jen takes a big bite of her cake. They both make happy noises. + +"Mmm, this is so good!" Tim says. + +"Mmm, this is so yummy!" Jen says. + +They eat some more and then look at each other. They both want to try the other's treat. Tim thinks Jen's cake looks more delicious than his cone. Jen thinks Tim's cone looks more fun than her cake. + +"Can I have a bite of your cake?" Tim asks. + +"Can I have a lick of your cone?" Jen asks. + +They nod and swap their treats. Tim bites Jen's cake and Jen licks Tim's cone. They both make sad noises. + +"Ow, this is too sweet! It hurts my teeth!" Tim says. + +"Brr, this is too cold! It hurts my tongue!" Jen says. + +They spit out their bites and give back their treats. They look at their own treats and see that they are melted and messy. They feel sorry and silly. + +"Sorry, I ruined your cone," Jen says. + +"Sorry, I ruined your cake," Tim says. + +They hug and say it's okay. They throw away their treats and drink some water. They learn their lesson. + +Mom and dad come over and see what happened. They ask them if they are okay and if they liked their treats. Tim and Jen tell them the truth. + +"We didn't like them. They were too sweet and too cold. They hurt our teeth and our tongue. And we wasted them by swapping them. We should have been happy with what we had," they say. + +Mom and dad hug them and say they are proud of them for being honest and learning from their mistake. They tell them that sometimes less is more and that sharing is caring. They say they love them and they can have some fruit later. + +Tim and Jen smile and say they love them too. They say they are sorry for being greedy and they want to play some more. They run to the slide and have fun. They are happy again. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play on the porch. They had a big box of toys and books that they could choose from. Sometimes they enjoyed making up stories with their dolls and cars. Sometimes they enjoyed reading about animals and places. + +One day, they saw a new neighbor moving in next door. He was an old man with a long beard and a hat. He had a lot of boxes and bags that he carried into his house. Lily and Max were curious about him and wanted to say hello. + +They waited until he was done and then ran over to his fence. "Hi, mister!" they shouted. "We are Lily and Max. We live here. What is your name?" + +The old man smiled and walked over to them. "Hello, Lily and Max. I am Mr. Lee. I just moved here from far away. I am happy to meet you." + +"Do you have any toys or books, Mr. Lee?" Lily asked. + +"I have some, but they are very old and dusty. They are in one of those boxes over there. Maybe I can show you later, if you like." + +"We like old and dusty things. They are fun and interesting. Can we be your friends, Mr. Lee?" Max asked. + +"Of course, you can. You are very kind and friendly. I think we will get along well. You know, I have traveled a lot and seen many things. I have some stories to tell you, if you want to hear them." + +"Yes, please! We love stories. Can you tell us one now, Mr. Lee?" Lily and Max said together. + +"Sure, why not? Come, sit with me on the porch. I will tell you a story about a wise lion and a clever mouse. It is one of my favorites." + +Lily and Max followed Mr. Lee to his porch. They sat on a big cushion and listened to his story. They enjoyed his voice and his words. They learned something new and laughed a lot. They felt happy and cozy. They had found a new friend. +One day, a pink otter named Lila was swimming in the river. She liked to play with the fish and the frogs. She was very happy and friendly. + +But then, she saw another otter. He was brown and big. He looked angry and mean. He came to Lila and said, "This is my river. Go away. You are not welcome here." + +Lila was scared and sad. She did not want to go away. She liked the river. She said, "Please, can we share the river? There is enough water and food for both of us. We can be friends." + +The brown otter did not listen. He said, "No, this is my river. You are different and strange. You are pink. You do not belong here." He tried to bite Lila and push her away. + +Lila did not want to fight. She was gentle and kind. But she had to defend herself. She used her teeth and claws to scratch the brown otter. She made a loud noise to scare him. She was brave and strong. + +The brown otter was surprised and hurt. He did not expect Lila to fight back. He ran away and left the river. He was ashamed and sorry. + +Lila was relieved and proud. She had saved her home and herself. She swam happily in the river. She hoped to find other otters who would be nice and friendly. She did not care if they were pink or brown. She cared if they were good and fun. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big sign that says "Exit". They wonder what is behind the sign. + +"Let's go and see," Ben says. He holds Anna's hand and they walk to the sign. + +They see a gate that is open. They look through the gate and see a road with many cars and buses. They hear loud noises and see bright lights. They see people walking and talking. They see a tall building with many windows. It looks distant. + +"Wow, this is a different place," Anna says. She feels scared and curious. + +"Maybe we can go there and explore," Ben says. He feels excited and brave. + +"No, we can't," Anna says. She pulls Ben's hand and runs back to the park. "This place is too big and noisy. We don't know anyone there. We might get lost or hurt. We have to stay in the park. The park is safe and fun." + +Ben follows Anna and nods. He thinks Anna is right. He likes the park better than the road. He is happy to play with Anna. They forget about the exit and the distant place. They slide, swing and run until it is time to go home. +Ben and Mia like to play with the big box of toys. They find many things to make fun games. One day, they see a green band in the box. It is long and stretchy. + +"Look, Mia, a green band!" Ben says. "What can we do with it?" + +Mia thinks for a moment. She has an idea. "We can twist it and make shapes!" she says. "Like a snake, or a circle, or a star!" + +They take the green band and start to twist it. They make a snake and a circle and a star. They laugh and show each other their shapes. + +But then, the green band snaps. It breaks into two pieces. Ben and Mia are sad. They liked the green band. + +"Sorry, Ben, I twisted it too hard," Mia says. + +"It's okay, Mia, it was an accident," Ben says. "Maybe we can find another band in the box." + +They look in the box, but they do not see another band. They see a red ribbon, a blue string, and a yellow rope. They are not the same as the green band. + +But then, Ben has an idea. "Mia, we can tie the pieces of the green band together!" he says. "Then we can twist it again!" + +Mia likes the idea. They tie the pieces of the green band together. They make a knot. The green band is shorter, but it is still stretchy. + +They twist it and make more shapes. They make a heart, a triangle, and a moon. They laugh and show each other their shapes. + +They are happy again. They like the green band. They like to play with the big box of toys. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a huge dove on a tree. The dove was white and soft. Anna wanted to touch the dove. She said to Ben, "Let's go and see the dove. Maybe it will let us pet it." + +Ben was scared of the dove. He said, "No, Anna, the dove is too big. It might peck us or fly away. Let's play with the ball instead." + +But Anna did not listen to Ben. She insisted on going to the dove. She said, "Please, Ben, come with me. The dove is nice. It will not hurt us. I want to be its friend." + +She ran to the tree and reached out her hand to the dove. The dove was curious and tilted its head. It cooed softly and moved closer to Anna. Anna smiled and stroked the dove's feathers. She said, "Hello, dove. You are so pretty. Do you want to play with us?" + +The dove nodded and flapped its wings. It flew down from the tree and landed on Anna's shoulder. Anna giggled and hugged the dove. She said, "Look, Ben, the dove likes me. It is my new friend. Come and say hi to the dove." + +Ben was surprised and happy. He walked slowly to Anna and the dove. He said, "Wow, Anna, you were right. The dove is nice. Can I pet it too?" + +The dove nodded again and hopped to Ben's shoulder. Ben smiled and stroked the dove's feathers. He said, "Hello, dove. You are so soft. Thank you for playing with us." + +Anna and Ben and the dove became friends. They played in the park until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the dove and promised to come back soon. The dove waved its wings and flew back to the tree. It cooed happily and watched them leave. It was glad to have met Anna and Ben. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big pond with ducks and boats. + +"Look, Lily, there are boats!" Sam says. "Can we go on a boat?" + +"Yes, let's go!" Lily says. "I want the pink boat. It is pretty." + +They run to the boat stand. They ask their moms for money. Their moms give them some coins. They give the coins to the man. The man gives them a pink boat. It has two rows. + +"Thank you, mister!" Lily and Sam say. They take the boat to the pond. They get in the boat. They use the rows to move the boat. + +"This is fun!" Lily says. "We are like pirates!" + +"Arrr!" Sam says. "We are the best pirates ever!" + +They row the boat around the pond. They see the ducks and the fish. They wave to the other kids. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they forget something. They forget to look at the clock. They forget that they have to go back soon. They forget that their moms are waiting for them. + +They row and row and row. They do not see that the sun is going down. They do not hear that the man is calling them. + +"Lily! Sam! Come back! It is time to go!" the man shouts. "The park is closing!" + +But Lily and Sam do not hear him. They are too busy playing. They forget everything. They forget the man. They forget their moms. They forget the boat. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They lived near a big valley with many trees and flowers. One day, they decided to explore the valley and look for new things. + +They walked and walked until they saw a big rock with a hole in it. "Look, Sam, a cave!" Tim said. "Let's go inside and see what's there." Sam nodded and followed Tim into the hole. + +Inside the cave, it was dark and cold. They used a flashlight to see better. They saw many shiny stones and strange shapes on the walls. They also heard a loud roar that made them scared. "What was that?" Sam asked. "I don't know, maybe a bear or a lion," Tim said. "Let's get out of here!" + +They ran back to the hole, but it was blocked by a big branch that had fallen from a tree. They tried to push it, but it was too heavy. They looked for another way out, but there was none. They were trapped in the cave. + +Tim remembered that he had a pocket knife in his backpack. He took it out and said, "Don't worry, Sam, I have a knife. I can cut the branch and make a hole for us." He started to cut the branch with the knife, but it was hard and thick. He cut and cut, but it took a long time. + +Meanwhile, Sam heard the roar again, louder and closer. He saw a big shadow moving in the dark. He screamed, "Tim, hurry, there's something coming!" Tim looked up and saw a pair of yellow eyes staring at them. He cut faster and faster, hoping to make the hole big enough for them to escape. + +Finally, he cut the last part of the branch and made a hole. He grabbed Sam's hand and said, "Come on, Sam, let's go!" They crawled through the hole and ran out of the cave. They saw the sun and the sky and the valley. They felt happy and safe. + +They ran all the way back to their home and told their mom what had happened. She hugged them and said, "I'm so glad you're fine, my boys. You were very brave and smart. But next time, don't go into caves without me, okay?" They nodded and said, "Okay, mom, we won't." They learned their lesson and never went into caves again. +Tom and Amy were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big jar of mints in the kitchen. They liked mints, so they decided to take some and eat them. + +"Let's number how many mints we have," Tom said. He took out five mints and put them on the table. "One, two, three, four, five. I have five mints." + +"I have more than you," Amy said. She took out six mints and put them on the table. "One, two, three, four, five, six. I have six mints." + +They ate their mints and felt jolly. They liked the sweet taste and the cool feeling in their mouths. They wanted more mints, so they took out more and more from the jar. + +Soon, the jar was empty. They had eaten all the mints. They felt sick and dizzy. Their tummies hurt and their teeth hurt. They wished they had not eaten so many mints. + +"Mommy, mommy, we ate all the mints and we feel bad," Tom and Amy cried. They ran to their mommy and told her what they had done. + +Mommy was angry and sad. She scolded them for taking the mints without asking. She told them that the mints were not for children, but for grown-ups who had bad breath. She said that the mints had too much sugar and could make them sick and damage their teeth. She took them to the doctor, who gave them medicine and told them to brush their teeth well. + +Tom and Amy learned their lesson. They never ate mints again. They were sorry for being greedy and naughty. They wished they had played with their toys instead. +Sara liked to help her mom with the chores. She liked to fold the clothes and put them in the drawers. She liked to dust the shelves and make them shiny. But her favorite chore was to iron the clothes with her mom. She liked to watch the steam come out of the iron and smooth the wrinkles. + +One day, her mom had a new dress to iron. It was a delicate dress, with lace and flowers. Sara wanted to help, but her mom said no. + +"This dress is too delicate for you, Sara. You have to be very careful with the iron. It is very hot and can burn the dress or your fingers. Why don't you introduce yourself to the dress instead?" + +Sara was curious. She looked at the dress and said hello. + +"Hello, dress. My name is Sara. You are very pretty. Do you like flowers?" + +The dress did not answer, but Sara imagined that it did. + +"Yes, I like flowers very much. They make me happy. What do you like, Sara?" + +Sara thought for a moment. + +"I like to iron with my mom. It is fun and makes the clothes nice. Do you like to be ironed?" + +The dress did not answer, but Sara imagined that it did. + +"Yes, I like to be ironed. It makes me feel soft and fresh. But you have to be gentle with me. I am delicate and can tear easily." + +Sara nodded. + +"I understand. I will be gentle with you. Maybe one day, when I am bigger, I can iron you with my mom. But for now, I will just talk to you and be your friend." + +The dress did not answer, but Sara imagined that it smiled. She smiled back and hugged the dress gently. Her mom watched and smiled too. She was proud of her daughter and her delicate dress. +Lily loved the sea. She liked to swim and splash and play with the fish. She wanted to see a shark, but she was afraid. Her dad said sharks were big and scary and had sharp teeth. + +One day, Lily and her dad went on a boat. They had a special mask and a tube to breathe under the water. Her dad said they could see many incredible things. Lily was excited, but also nervous. + +They jumped into the water and looked around. They saw colorful corals and starfish and turtles. Lily smiled and waved at them. She felt happy and brave. + +Then, she saw something move in the dark. It was long and gray and had a fin. It was a shark! Lily felt a chill in her chest. She wanted to go back to the boat, but her dad held her hand. He pointed at the shark and smiled. He said it was a friendly shark and it would not hurt them. He said it was a nurse shark and it liked to eat small fish and snails. He said it was very rare and beautiful. + +Lily looked at the shark again. It was not so scary after all. It was just curious and gentle. It swam closer and looked at them with its big eyes. Lily felt a warm feeling in her heart. She reached out and touched the shark's skin. It was rough and smooth at the same time. The shark did not mind. It wagged its tail and swam away. + +Lily and her dad came back to the boat. They hugged and laughed. Lily said she saw a shark and it was incredible. Her dad said he was proud of her and he encouraged her to keep exploring the sea. Lily said she loved the sea and she wanted to see more sharks. She said she was not afraid anymore. She said she was happy and brave. +Sara and Tom were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But they did not like to clean their room. Mama always told them to clean their room before dinner. But they always said, "Later, later." + +One day, Mama had a surprise for them. She said, "I have a gifted friend who made something for you. But you can only see it if you clean your room." Sara and Tom were curious. They wanted to see the surprise. They said, "OK, Mama, we will clean our room." + +They worked hard to put their toys and books in their boxes. They threw away the trash. They made their beds. They dusted the shelves. They were proud of their clean room. They said, "Mama, we are done. Can we see the surprise now?" + +Mama smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Follow me." She led them to the living room. There was a big fireplace. It was cold outside, but the fireplace was warm and cozy. Mama said, "Look, my gifted friend made this for you. It is a fireplace screen. It has pictures of your favorite animals on it. Do you like it?" + +Sara and Tom gasped. They saw a lion, a giraffe, a monkey, and a bird on the fireplace screen. They were colorful and cute. They said, "Wow, Mama, we love it. It is so beautiful. Thank you, Mama. And thank you, gifted friend." + +Mama hugged them and said, "You are welcome, my sweeties. I am glad you like it. And I am proud of you for cleaning your room. You are good children. Now, let's enjoy the fireplace and have some cookies." Sara and Tom nodded and smiled. They sat on the couch with Mama and watched the fire. They felt happy and warm. They liked their new fireplace screen. It was a special gift. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big bean in the dirt. They wondered what would happen if they planted it. + +"Let's dig a hole and put the bean inside," said Lily. + +"OK, and then we can water it and watch it grow," said Tom. + +They did what they said and covered the bean with dirt. Then they ran to the tap and filled a bucket with water. They poured some water on the bean and waited. + +The next day, they came back to the garden and saw a tiny green shoot coming out of the dirt. They were very happy and clapped their hands. + +"Look, the bean is growing!" said Tom. + +"Wow, it is improving every day!" said Lily. + +They watered the bean again and went to play. + +The bean kept growing and growing, until it became a tall and strong plant with many pods. Lily and Tom picked some pods and opened them. Inside, they found more beans that they could eat or plant. + +They were very grateful for the bean and thanked it for giving them food and fun. + +"Thank you, bean, for being so good to us," said Lily. + +"Yes, thank you, bean, for being our friend," said Tom. + +They hugged the bean plant and smiled. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big stick on the ground. Tom picked it up and said, "Look, I have a weapon! I can fight the bad guys with this!" + +Mia said, "No, Tom, that is not a weapon. That is a stick. You can hurt someone with that. Put it down and let's play something else." + +But Tom did not listen. He said, "You are no fun, Mia. I want to be a hero. I will wander around and find some bad guys to fight." He ran away with the stick, leaving Mia alone. + +Mia was sad and scared. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She wanted to go home and tell her mom what happened. She looked for Tom, but she could not find him. She heard some loud noises and some angry voices. She followed the sounds and saw Tom in trouble. + +Tom had wandered into a street where some big boys were playing. They did not like Tom and his stick. They said, "Hey, kid, what are you doing here? That is our street. Give us that stick or we will beat you up." + +Tom was not afraid. He said, "You are the bad guys. I have a weapon. I will fight you and win." He swung the stick at them, but he missed. The big boys grabbed the stick and hit Tom with it. They hurt him a lot. They broke his arm and his nose and his teeth. They laughed and ran away. + +Mia saw everything. She ran to Tom and cried. She said, "Tom, Tom, are you okay? I am sorry, I should have stopped you. You were not a hero, you were silly. You need help. I will call for help." + +But it was too late. Tom was not healthy. He was very sick. He could not breathe. He closed his eyes and did not open them again. He died. Mia was very sad. She wished she had never seen the stick. She wished she had never played with Tom. She wished she had a different friend. +Lily liked to play with her big black dog, Max. Max was very friendly and liked to lick Lily's face and run with her in the park. Sometimes, Max would bow to Lily, like he was saying hello or asking her to play. Lily thought Max was the best dog ever. + +One day, Lily and Max went to the park with Lily's mom. Lily saw some other kids playing with a ball and wanted to join them. She asked her mom if she could go and play. Her mom said yes, but told her to be careful and stay close. Lily ran to the kids and asked if she could play. They said yes and gave her the ball. + +Lily threw the ball and the kids ran after it. Max saw the ball and ran after it too. He was faster than the kids and caught the ball in his mouth. He ran back to Lily and dropped the ball at her feet. He bowed to Lily, like he was saying good job or asking her to throw it again. Lily was happy and threw the ball again. + +But this time, something bad happened. A big car was driving on the road near the park. The car did not see Max and Max did not see the car. The car hit Max and made a loud noise. Max fell to the ground and did not move. Lily saw what happened and screamed. She ran to Max and hugged his body. She cried and cried. She wanted Max to get up and bow to her, but he did not. + +Lily's mom heard Lily scream and ran to her. She saw Max and the car and knew what happened. She was very sad and scared. She picked up Lily and held her tight. She called for help and tried to comfort Lily. She told Lily that Max was a good dog and that he loved her very much. She told Lily that Max was in a better place now and that he would always be in her heart. Lily did not understand everything, but she felt her mom's love. She still cried and missed Max, but she also remembered how he bowed to her and made her happy. She hoped that Max was happy too. +Sam was a lonely boy. He had no friends to play with at school. He liked to look at the big cars and trucks on the road, but he could not touch them. He wished he had a toy car of his own. + +One day, he saw a shiny red car on the teacher's desk. It was the teacher's car, but she was not in the room. Sam wanted to play with the car. He looked around and saw no one. He ran to the desk and grabbed the car. He felt happy. + +But then he heard a voice. It was the teacher. She came back to the room and saw Sam with her car. She was angry. She said, "Sam, what are you doing? That is my car, not yours. Give it back to me now!" + +Sam was scared. He did not want to give back the car. He liked the car. He held the car tight and said, "No, it is my car. I want it. Go away!" + +The teacher was more angry. She reached for the car and tried to take it from Sam. Sam did not let go. He pinched the teacher's hand hard. The teacher said, "Ow! That hurts! Sam, you are a bad boy. You should not pinch. Pinching is not nice. You have to say sorry and give me back my car." + +Sam felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt the teacher. He did not like to be a bad boy. He let go of the car and said, "Sorry, teacher. I am sorry. I was lonely. I had no friends. I wanted a car." + +The teacher felt sorry too. She said, "It is okay, Sam. I understand. You are lonely. But you cannot take things that are not yours. That is not fair. You have to ask first. And you have to be nice to others. Then you can make friends. Do you want to make friends?" + +Sam nodded. He said, "Yes, teacher. I want to make friends. How can I make friends?" + +The teacher smiled. She said, "You can make friends by sharing, by helping, by listening, by playing. You can make friends by being kind. Do you want to try?" + +Sam smiled too. He said, "Yes, teacher. I want to try. Can I play with your car?" + +The teacher said, "Yes, Sam. You can play with my car. But only for a little while. And then you have to give it back. And you have to say thank you. And you have to play with the other children too. Can you do that?" + +Sam said, "Yes, teacher. I can do that. Thank you, teacher. You are nice." + +The teacher said, "You are welcome, Sam. You are nice too. Now go and play. And have fun. And make friends." +Ben and Mia like to play with their bikes in the park. They ride fast and have fun. But one day, Ben's bike has a problem. The seat is loose and wobbles. Ben is sad and stops riding. + +"Ben, what is wrong?" Mia asks. + +"My seat is broken. It moves and hurts. I can't ride anymore," Ben says. + +Mia looks at Ben's bike. She sees a screw that is loose. She has an idea. + +"Wait here, Ben. I will get something to help you," Mia says. She runs to her dad, who is sitting on a bench. She asks him for a tool. + +"Dad, can I have your screwdriver? Ben's seat is broken and I want to repair it," Mia says. + +"Sure, Mia. You are very kind. But be careful with the screwdriver. It is powerful and sharp," Dad says. He gives Mia the screwdriver and watches her go back to Ben. + +Mia uses the screwdriver to tighten the screw on Ben's seat. She works hard and carefully. Soon, the seat is fixed and does not wobble anymore. + +"Look, Ben. I repaired your seat. Now you can ride again," Mia says. + +"Wow, Mia. You are amazing. Thank you so much. You are a powerful friend," Ben says. + +Ben and Mia hug and smile. They get on their bikes and ride happily in the park. Dad is proud of them and claps. They have a good day. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. But they did not like the big dog that sometimes came to the park. The dog was scary. It had sharp teeth and loud bark. It chased the birds and the squirrels and sometimes the children. + +One day, the dog came to the park when Anna and Ben were playing. It saw them and ran towards them. Anna and Ben were afraid. They ran to their mom and hugged her. Their mom squeezed them and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. You are safe with me." She picked them up and walked away from the dog. The dog stopped and went to find something else to chase. + +Anna and Ben felt better. They were not scared anymore. They thanked their mom for making them feel safe. Their mom smiled and kissed them. She said, "I love you, my brave kids. You did well. Now let's go and have some ice cream." Anna and Ben nodded and smiled. They liked ice cream. They liked their mom. They liked the park. But they did not like the big dog. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with green and yellow fruits. They were pears. Lily and Ben liked pears. They wanted to pick some. + +"Look, there is an enormous pear up there!" Lily said, pointing to the top of the tree. "I want it!" + +"Me too!" Ben said. "But how can we get it?" + +They looked around. They saw a ladder leaning against the fence. They had an idea. + +"Let's use the ladder!" Lily said. "You go first, Ben. I will hold it for you." + +Ben nodded. He climbed the ladder carefully. He reached the enormous pear. He tried to pull it, but it was too heavy. + +"Help me, Lily!" Ben said. "It won't come off!" + +Lily climbed the ladder too. She helped Ben pull the pear. They pulled and pulled. Suddenly, the pear came off. But it was so big that it made them lose their balance. They fell off the ladder with the pear. + +"Ouch!" Lily and Ben said. They landed on the soft grass. They were not hurt, but they were surprised. + +They looked at the pear. It was bigger than their heads. They smiled. + +"Wow, what a pear!" Lily said. "We did it!" + +"Yes, we did!" Ben said. "Let's share it!" + +They cut the pear in half. They each took a bite. It was juicy and sweet. They were happy. + +They lied on the grass and ate the pear. They enjoyed their snack. They were proud of their adventure. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and sing. They saw a big truck on the road. It was red and loud. It stopped near their house. + +"Look, Tom, it is the mail truck!" Lily said. "Maybe it has a letter for us!" + +They ran to the mailbox. It was blue and had their name on it. They opened it and saw a big envelope. It was fat and had a stamp on it. + +"Who is it from, Lily?" Tom asked. + +Lily looked at the envelope. She saw a picture of a bear and some words. She tried to read them. + +"It says...Grandma and Grandpa!" Lily said. "They are far away. They went on a trip. They said they will arrive soon." + +Tom and Lily were happy. They loved their grandma and grandpa. They wanted to see them and hug them and play with them. + +"Let's open it, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe they sent us a gift!" + +They opened the envelope.

The card had a sticker of a bear and some words. + +"Can you read it, Lily?" Tom asked. + +Lily looked at the card. She saw some words she knew. + +"It says...We miss you. We love you. We will arrive next week. See you soon. Grandma and Grandpa." Lily said. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They hugged the letter and the card. They were excited.

They like to draw with crayons. One day, they have a big paper and many colors. They want to make a picture of their house and their family. + +Sam starts to draw a line for the roof. He says, "This is the roof. It is red." Lily nods and draws a line for the door. She says, "This is the door. It is blue." They take turns to draw lines for the windows, the walls, the chimney, and the grass. + +Then they draw their family. Sam draws his mom, his dad, and his baby sister. He says, "This is my mom. She has brown hair. This is my dad. He has black hair. This is my baby sister. She has no hair." Lily draws her mom, her dad, and her big brother. She says, "This is my mom. She has yellow hair.

We are happy." +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a big bear that could talk. The bear was very nice and told them stories and jokes. They loved the bear very much and always hugged him and kissed him. + +One day, their mom came home with some news. She said they had to move to a new house far away. She said they could not take all their toys with them, only some. Lily and Tom were very sad and scared. They did not want to leave their home and their friends and their bear. + +They asked their mom if they could keep the bear. She said no, the bear was too big and old and broken. She said they had to give him away to someone else who needed him more. Lily and Tom cried and begged and said the bear was their best friend. They said they would pray to God to let them keep the him. + +Their mom said she was sorry, but they had to go. She said they would find new toys and new friends in the new house. She said they had to be brave and smart and not stupid. She said they had to pack their things and get ready to leave. + +Lily and Tom did not listen. They ran to their room and hid the bear under their bed. They hoped their mom would not find him. They hoped God would hear their prayer and change their mom's mind. They hoped they could stay with their bear forever. They did not know that their mom had a surprise for them. She had found a new home for the bear, a home where he would be happy and loved. She had also bought them a new toy, a toy that looked like the bear, but was smaller and newer and could do more things. She wanted to make them smile and forget their sadness. She wanted to show them that sometimes change could be good. She wanted to give them the best news ever. +Anna and Ben are twins. They are three years old. Today is their birthday.

He will be fine." + +The ambulance comes. It has a loud siren and a red light. The twins see the people in white. They have a stretcher and a bag. They are very kind. They say, "Hello, Ben. We are here to help you. You are brave. You will feel better soon." + +They put Ben on the stretcher. They put a bandage on his bump. They take him to the ambulance. Anna goes with him. She holds his hand. She says, "Happy birthday, Ben. I'm sorry you got hurt. I hope you get well soon." + +Mom and Dad follow the ambulance in their car. They say, "Happy birthday, Anna and Ben. We love you. We are proud of you. You are good twins." +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But today they are sick. They have a cold. They cough and sneeze. + +Mom comes in with a tray. She has two cups of juice and two pills. "You need to take these pills, my loves," she says. "They will help you feel better." + +Ben and Lily make a face. They do not like pills. They are bitter and hard. They want to spit them out. "No, Mom, no pills!" they say. + +Mom smiles. She has an idea. She puts the pills in a bowl. She gives Ben and Lily some spoons. "Let's play a game," she says. "You are busy chefs. You need to gather the pills and put them in your cups. Then you can drink the juice and pretend it is soup." + +Ben and Lily like games. They take the spoons and start to gather the pills. They count them and say their colors. They put them in their cups and stir them. They drink the juice and make slurping noises. They laugh and giggle. + +Mom is happy. She hugs them and kisses them. "You are very good chefs," she says. "And very brave. I am proud of you. Now you can rest and read some books. Maybe tomorrow you will feel better." +Lily and Ben liked to watch cartoons on the screen. They had a big screen in the living room, and a small screen in their bedroom. Sometimes they watched the same cartoons, and sometimes they watched different ones. + +One day, Lily wanted to watch a cartoon about a princess and a dragon. She asked Ben to watch it with her, but he said no. He wanted to watch a cartoon about a superhero and a robot. He said it was more fun and exciting. + +Lily and Ben started to argue. They both wanted to use the big screen, and they both wanted to choose the cartoon. They shouted and pushed each other, and did not listen to each other. + +Suddenly, the screen went black. It made a loud noise, and then it disappeared. Lily and Ben were shocked. They looked around, and saw that the screen was gone.

They knew they had done something bad, and they did not want to get in trouble. + +They quickly ran to their bedroom, and hid under the bed.

He wanted to be friends with them, but they always flew away when he came near. He asked his mom why the birds did not like him. + +"Maybe they are shy, or maybe they are busy," his mom said. "But you can always pray to God and ask him to help you make friends with the birds. God loves you and the birds, and he listens to your prayers." + +Tommy nodded and went to his room. He knelt by his bed and prayed to God. He said, "Dear God, please help me make friends with the birds. I want to play with them and feed them and sing with them. Please make them trust me and come to me. Thank you, God. Amen." + +The next day, Tommy went to the garden with some bread crumbs. He saw a blue bird on a branch. He smiled and said, "Hello, bird. Do you want some bread?" He threw some crumbs on the ground and waited. + +The bird looked at him and tilted its head. It flew down and pecked at the crumbs. Tommy was happy and threw some more. The bird ate them and chirped. It hopped closer to Tommy and looked at him with its bright eyes. + +Tommy reached out his hand slowly and gently. The bird did not fly away. It stepped on his hand and nibbled at his fingers. Tommy laughed and said, "You are a good bird. You are a reliable bird. You are my friend." + +The bird flapped its wings and sang. Tommy sang with it. He thanked God for answering his prayer and making him friends with the bird. He felt a warm and happy feeling in his heart.

"I can run fast and jump high." + +They had a lot of fun, but they also made a lot of mess. They knocked over their toys, their books and their clothes. They did not care. They just wanted to play. + +But then, their mom came in. She was not happy. She saw the mess and the scratches on the wall. She was angry. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why did you make such a mess? And why did you scratch the wall? That was a lovely wall. Now it is ruined." + +Lily and Ben stopped playing. They felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. They tried to say sorry, but their mom did not listen. She told them to go to bed without dinner. She took away their toys, their books and their clothes. She left them alone in their room. + +Lily and Ben cried. They did not want to go to bed. They did not want to lose their things. They did not want to make their mom angry.

It is working on a new building next to their house. Tim and Sam are very excited. They want to watch the crane perform. + +They run to the fence and look at the crane.

He makes the crane swing and lift and lower. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tim says. "The crane can pick up that big metal thing!" + +"That's a beam," Sam says. "It is for the building. The crane puts it in the right place." + +"I want to be a crane driver when I grow up," Tim says. "It looks like fun." + +"Me too," Sam says. "But we have to be very alert. The crane is dangerous. We can't go near it." + +They nod and keep watching the crane perform. They learn a lot from the man in the yellow hat. They clap and cheer when the crane does something amazing.

You have to take good care of them." + +Mom took some glue and a needle and thread. She glued the doll's arm back and sewed a patch on her dress. She gave the doll back to Lily. "There you go, sweetie. She's as good as new. But remember, be careful with her." + +Lily hugged her mom and thanked her. She looked at her doll and said, "I'm sorry, doll. I didn't mean to hurt you.

It looks sad and scared. + +"Look, the duck is not having fun. It wants to be with both of you. Why don't you take turns with the duck? You can each play with it for a little while, and then give it to the other. How does that sound?" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben think about it. They look at the duck. They look at each other. They decide to try Mom's idea. + +"Okay, I will go first," Lily says. She takes the duck from Ben and hugs it. "I love you, duck." + +"Me too," Ben says. He waits for his turn.

Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can mark here," Lily said, pointing to a corner. + +Ben took a blue crayon and started to mark on Lily's paper. But he did not mark in the corner.

She did not like it at all. She wanted her sun to be yellow, and her flowers to be different colors. She felt angry and sad. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" she cried. "You ruined my drawing!" + +Ben looked at Lily and saw her tears. He did not mean to make her cry. He thought it was fun to mark with blue. He felt sorry and scared. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted to mark with you. I didn't know you would be sad," he said. + +Lily and Ben did not know what to do. They both felt bad. Then they heard a voice. + +"What's going on here?" It was Mom.

I know you were trying to have fun, but sometimes we need to be careful with other people's things. Lily, you made a beautiful sun, and Ben, you like blue a lot.

"But remember, only after your nap. Sleep well, kids. I love you." + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "We love you too, Mom. Thank you for the muffins." + +Mom left the room and closed the door. Lily and Ben looked at each other and whispered. + +"Blueberry muffins are yummy," Lily said. + +"Yes, they are," Ben said. "But naps are bad." + +"I know," Lily said. "But maybe if we nap fast, we can have the muffins sooner." + +"Okay, let's try," Ben said. "But don't snore, Lily." + +"I don't snore, Ben. You do," Lily said. + +They closed their eyes and tried to nap fast. They dreamed of blueberry muffins and their tower of blocks. They hoped Mom would not eat the muffins before they woke up.

Tom smiled. He said mom's name to the parrot. The parrot said mom's name back. Mom was happy. She said dad's name to the parrot. The parrot said dad's name back. Dad was proud. + +They all had fun talking to the parrot. They thanked the parrot and said goodbye. The parrot said goodbye back. They returned to their car and drove home. They talked about the parrot and the other animals they saw. They had a great day at the zoo. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and building towers. But soon they felt very tired. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. + +"Mommy, can we go to bed?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, my loves, it's time to sleep. Come on, let's go to your room," Mommy said. She picked up their toys and put them in a basket. She took Anna and Ben by the hand and led them to their bedroom. + +Mommy tucked them in their beds and gave them a kiss. She turned on a small lamp and opened the window a little bit. She said, "Good night, sweeties. I love you very much. Have sweet dreams." + +"Good night, Mommy. We love you too," Anna and Ben said. They closed their eyes and snuggled with their teddy bears. + +But then they heard a loud noise outside. It was a big truck that was honking and flashing its lights. It scared Anna and Ben. They opened their eyes and sat up in their beds. They cried, "Mommy, Mommy, help!" + +Mommy heard them and ran to their room. She saw them crying and hugged them. She said, "Shh, shh, it's okay. It's just a truck. It's going away soon. Don't be afraid. I'm here with you." + +She looked out the window and saw the truck driver. He waved and said, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up. I have to deliver some boxes to the store. Have a good night." + +Mommy waved back and said, "It's okay, thank you. Have a safe drive." + +She closed the window and turned off the lamp. She said, "See, it's all right. The truck is gone. Let's go back to sleep." + +She tucked them in again and gave them another kiss. She said, "I'm sorry you got scared. I'm proud of you for being brave. I'm always here for you. I love you more than anything." + +Anna and Ben smiled and said, "We love you too, Mommy. Thank you for making us feel better." + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They had sweet dreams. +Sara and Ben are friends who like to play outside. They are adventurous and always look for new things to do. One day, they find a big hill with many flowers and rocks. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"I want to go first," Sara says. "I am faster and stronger than you." + +"No, I want to go first," Ben says. "I am smarter and braver than you." + +They disagree and start to argue. They push and pull each other, trying to get ahead. They are not nice to each other. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is a bee that is flying near them. The bee is angry because they are near its home. The bee buzzes and stings Sara on the nose. Sara cries and holds her nose. It hurts a lot. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara says. "The bee stung me! Help me, Ben!" + +Ben sees that Sara is in pain. He feels sorry for her. He forgets that they were arguing. He runs to her and hugs her. He tries to make her feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Sara," Ben says. "I didn't mean to be mean to you. You are my friend. I will help you." + +He takes her hand and leads her down the hill. He looks for his mom, who has a band-aid and some ice. He knows that his mom can help Sara's nose. + +Sara and Ben learn a lesson. They learn that they should not disagree and fight. They learn that they should be kind and share. They learn that they are better friends when they work together. They hug and say sorry to each other. They promise to be nice to each other and to the bees. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has many wires and buttons and lights. Tom and Lily think it is a robot. + +"Let's play with the robot!" Tom says. He pushes a button. The box makes a loud noise and smoke comes out. "Oh no! The robot is broken!" Lily says. She is scared. + +"Don't worry, Lily. I can fix it!" Tom says. He takes a screwdriver and opens the box. He sees many parts inside. He tries to move them and connect them. "This is hard," he says. + +Lily helps him. She finds a wire that is loose. She puts it in a hole. The box stops making noise and smoke. The lights turn on. Tom and Lily are happy. + +"Look, Lily! The robot is fixed!" Tom says. He pushes another button. The box makes a different noise. It sounds like a voice. "Hello, Tom and Lily. I am not a robot. I am a computer. Thank you for fixing me. I was cold and lonely in the garage. Do you want to be my friends?" the box says. + +Tom and Lily are surprised. They look at each other and smile. "Yes, we want to be your friends!" they say. They hug the box. The box hugs them back. They play with the computer and learn many things. They have a new friend. They are happy. +Ben and his grandpa liked to walk in the park. Grandpa had a cane to help him walk. Ben liked to hold his hand and look at the birds and flowers. + +One day, they saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Grandpa said, "Let's sit on the bench and watch them." He put his cane next to him and gave Ben some bread to feed the ducks. + +Ben threw some bread into the water and the ducks came closer. He was happy to see them eat and quack. He said, "Look, grandpa, they are so hungry and funny!" + +Grandpa smiled and said, "Yes, they are. But be careful, don't go too close to the pond. It is deep and you might fall in." + +Ben nodded and threw some more bread. But then, he saw a big fish jump out of the water and splash. He was so surprised and curious that he forgot what grandpa said. He leaned over the edge of the pond to see the fish better. + +But he leaned too much and lost his balance. He slipped and fell into the pond with a splash. He was scared and wet and cold. He cried, "Help, grandpa, help!" + +Grandpa heard him and got up quickly. But he forgot his cane and lost it too. It rolled into the pond and sank. He was worried and angry. He said, "Oh no, Ben, what have you done? You lost my cane and you fell into the deep pond!" + +He reached out his hand and pulled Ben out of the water. He hugged him and checked if he was okay. He said, "Are you hurt, Ben? Are you sorry?" + +Ben was shivering and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, grandpa. I wanted to see the fish. I didn't mean to lose your cane and fall into the deep pond." + +Grandpa sighed and said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are safe. But you have to listen to me and be careful next time. And we have to find a new cane for me." + +They walked back to the car, wet and sad. But they still loved each other and learned a lesson. +Lily and Max were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Max was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around for Max, but she could not see him. She wondered where he was. + +She walked to the big tree and looked behind it. No Max. She walked to the swing and looked under it. No Max. She walked to the shed and looked inside it. No Max. She started to feel sad. Where was her friend? + +She heard a giggle from behind the clothes line. She ran to it and saw Max's feet sticking out from under a sheet. She pulled the sheet and found Max. He was smiling and holding a teddy bear. + +"Found you!" Lily said. + +"Good job!" Max said. "You are a good seeker. I was hidden under the clothes, but you still found me." + +Lily smiled too. She hugged Max and the teddy bear. They were happy. + +"Do you want to play again?" Max asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. "But this time, I will hide and you will seek." + +"OK!" Max said. "But don't mention where you are going, or I will find you too fast." + +They laughed and ran to find new hiding spots. They loved playing hide and seek. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and make noise. One day, they go to the park with Lila's mom. The park has swings, slides, and a big sandbox. + +Lila and Tom run to the sandbox. They find a staff. A staff is a long stick. They use the staff to draw in the sand. They draw a house, a sun, and a cat. They are happy. + +"Look, mom, we made a cat!" Lila says. + +"Very good, Lila. And Tom, too. You are very creative," Lila's mom says. + +But then, a big boy comes to the sandbox. He is mean. He kicks the sand and ruins the drawings. He grabs the staff and breaks it in two. He laughs. + +"Hey, stop that! That's our staff!" Tom says. + +"Too bad. It's mine now. Go away, babies," the big boy says. + +Lila and Tom are sad and angry. They want their staff back. They cry. + +"Mom, help us! He took our staff and broke it!" Lila says. + +Lila's mom hears them. She comes to the sandbox. She sees the big boy and the broken staff. She is not happy. + +"Excuse me, young man. That staff belongs to Lila and Tom. They were playing nicely with it. You have no right to take it and break it. That's not nice. That's rude. Give it back to them, please," Lila's mom says. + +The big boy is scared. He sees Lila's mom is serious. He drops the staff and runs away. He is quiet. + +Lila and Tom pick up the staff. It is broken. They are still sad. + +"I'm sorry, Lila and Tom. That boy was very mean. He should not have done that. Are you okay?" Lila's mom says. + +Lila and Tom nod. They hug Lila's mom. + +"Thank you, mom. You are the best," Lila says. + +"Yes, thank you. You are very brave," Tom says. + +Lila's mom smiles. She hugs them back. + +"You are welcome, Lila and Tom. You are very sweet. And don't worry about the staff. We can find another one. Or we can make something else with the sand. Come on, let's have some fun," Lila's mom says. + +Lila and Tom smile. They follow Lila's mom. They find a bucket and a shovel. They make a castle with the sand. They are happy again. +Lily loved to help her mom on the farm. She was very enthusiastic about feeding the animals and collecting the eggs. One day, her mom asked her to carry a basket of eggs to the kitchen. Lily was happy to do it. She picked up the basket carefully and walked slowly. + +On the way, she saw a chicken pecking the ground. Lily liked chickens. She wanted to say hello. She put the basket down and went to the chicken. She tried to pet it, but the chicken ran away. Lily chased the chicken. She thought it was a game. + +"Cluck, cluck, cluck!" the chicken said. It was scared of Lily. It ran into the barn. Lily followed it. She did not see the cow that was lying on the hay. She tripped over the cow and fell down. The cow mooed loudly. Lily was surprised. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" her mom called from the kitchen. She heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Lily on the floor, the chicken in the corner, and the cow on the hay. She also saw the basket of eggs. Some of them were broken. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Lily said. She felt bad. She wanted to help, not make a mess. + +"It's okay, Lily," her mom said. She hugged her. "You were just enthusiastic. But next time, please be careful. And don't chase the chicken. It doesn't like it." + +"I won't, mom," Lily said. She learned her lesson. She helped her mom clean up the eggs and carry the basket to the kitchen. She also said sorry to the chicken and the cow. She still liked them, but she knew how to be gentle. +Lily loves to make cards for her friends. She has many papers, stickers, and stamps to decorate them. She likes to use her favorite stamp, a pink heart, on every card. It makes them look perfect. + +One day, she wants to make a card for her friend Ben, who is sick. She takes out her papers, stickers, and stamps. But she cannot find her pink heart stamp. She feels sad and worried. Where is it? + +She searches in her box, in her drawer, in her closet. She searches under her bed, behind her chair, on her shelf. She searches everywhere, but she cannot find it. She starts to cry. + +Her mom hears her cry and comes to her room. She asks her what is wrong. Lily tells her she lost her pink heart stamp. She says she needs it to make a card for Ben. + +Her mom hugs her and says, "Don't cry, Lily. Maybe we can find it together. Or maybe we can use another stamp. I'm sure Ben will love your card no matter what." + +She helps Lily search some more. They look in the living room, in the kitchen, in the bathroom. They look in the trash, in the laundry, in the car. They look everywhere, but they cannot find it. + +They go back to Lily's room. Lily feels sad and tired. She says she doesn't want to make a card anymore. She says she wants her pink heart stamp. + +Her mom says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I don't know where it is. Maybe it got lost or broken. But you know what? You still have many other stamps. And you still have your own heart. You can draw a heart on your card. You can write a nice message. You can show Ben how much you care. That's what makes a card perfect." + +Lily thinks about it. She says, "You're right, mom. I can draw a heart. I can write a nice message. I can show Ben how much I care. That's what makes a card perfect." + +She smiles and hugs her mom. She takes out a paper, a sticker, and a pen. She draws a big heart on the paper. She writes, "Get well soon, Ben. I miss you. Love, Lily." She puts a sticker of a smiley face on the corner. She looks at her card and says, "It's perfect." + +Her mom says, "It's perfect, Lily. I'm sure Ben will love it. And I'm sure he will love you too." + +They put the card in an envelope and write Ben's name on it. They go to the mailbox and drop it in. They wave goodbye to the card and hope it will reach Ben soon. + +Lily feels happy and proud. She says, "Thank you, mom. You helped me make a perfect card. You're the best mom ever." + +Her mom says, "You're welcome, Lily. You're the best daughter ever." + +They hug and go back to the house. They decide to make some cookies and read some books. They have a perfect day. +Ben and Lily liked to help Mom bake cakes. They put on their aprons and washed their hands. Mom gave them a big bowl and a mixer. The mixer was a tool that made things smooth and fluffy. + +"Can I use the mixer, Mom?" Ben asked. He wanted to hold the mixer and press the button. + +"Not yet, Ben. You have to stand on a chair to reach the bowl. And you have to be careful with the mixer. It is very fast and loud," Mom said. + +Lily stood on a chair next to Ben. She was older and wiser than Ben. She knew how to use the mixer. She took a spoon and scooped some flour, sugar, and butter into the bowl. + +"Can I use the mixer now, Mom?" Ben asked again. He was impatient and curious. + +"Okay, Ben. But you have to listen to me and Lily. We will show you how to use the mixer," Mom said. She plugged the mixer into the wall and handed it to Lily. + +Lily showed Ben how to hold the mixer and press the button. She told him to start with a low speed and move the mixer around the bowl. She said to watch the ingredients turn into a smooth batter. + +Ben followed Lily's instructions. He held the mixer and pressed the button. He felt the mixer vibrate and heard it whir. He moved the mixer around the bowl. He saw the flour, sugar, and butter mix together. He smiled and said, "This is fun!" + +Mom and Lily smiled too. They were proud of Ben. He was learning how to use the mixer. He was a good helper. They finished the batter and poured it into a pan. They put the pan in the oven and waited for the cake to bake. They cleaned the bowl and the mixer and licked the spoons. They were happy and hungry. They loved to bake cakes. +Sam and Mia like to play at the park. They like to slide, climb and swing. They swing high and low, fast and slow. They laugh and sing. + +One day, they see a big truck at the park. It has a loud engine and a long hose. It is a fire truck. Sam and Mia are curious. They want to see the fire truck. + +They run to the fire truck and look inside. They see a fireman. He is wearing a red hat and a yellow coat. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like the fire truck?" he asks. + +"Yes, we do. It is big and shiny. Can we touch it?" Sam asks. + +"Sure, you can. But be careful. It is hot and heavy. And don't touch the buttons. They make the siren and the lights go on." the fireman says. + +Sam and Mia touch the fire truck. They feel the metal and the rubber. They see the ladder and the water tank. They hear the engine and the radio. + +They are happy. They thank the fireman. They run back to the swings. They swing high and low, fast and slow. They laugh and sing. + +They hold hands. They are friends. They like to play at the park. They like to slide, climb and swing. They swing tight and loose, loud and quiet. They have fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. There are many flowers in the garden. Anna likes the red roses. Ben likes the yellow sunflowers. + +One day, they see a big sunflower. It is taller than them. It has a big face and many seeds. Ben wants to touch it. He says, "Look, Anna, a big sunflower! Can I touch it?" + +Anna says, "Be careful, Ben. The sunflower is very high. You might fall." + +Ben says, "No, I won't. I can lean on the fence. See?" He leans on the fence and reaches for the sunflower. But the fence is old and weak. It breaks and Ben falls. + +Anna screams, "Ben, are you okay?" + +Ben is not hurt. He is just dirty and scared. He says, "I'm okay, Anna. But the sunflower is not. I broke it. I'm sorry." + +Anna says, "It's okay, Ben. The sunflower is not angry. It still smiles at us. See?" She points to the clear sky. The sun is shining. It looks like a big sunflower. + +Ben says, "You're right, Anna. The sun is a big sunflower. It is happy to see us. Let's say sorry to the sunflower and thank the sun." + +Anna and Ben say, "Sorry, sunflower. Thank you, sun." They hug each other and smile. They are still friends. They still like the garden. They still like the flowers. +Tom and Mia liked to play in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers and rocks. One day, they found a big mushroom under a tree. It was brown and round and had white spots. + +"Look, a mushroom!" Tom said. "Can we eat it?" + +"I don't know," Mia said. "Maybe it is not good. Maybe it is bad." + +They picked the mushroom and took it to the kitchen. They wanted to ask Mom if they could eat it. But Mom was not there. She was in the living room, talking on the phone. + +"Let's mix it with something," Tom said. "Maybe it will taste better." + +"OK," Mia said. "What can we mix it with?" + +They looked around the kitchen. They saw a bowl of eggs, a jar of jam, a bottle of milk, and a box of cereal. They decided to mix them all with the mushroom. + +They broke the eggs and poured them in a big pot. They added the jam and the milk and the cereal. They cut the mushroom into small pieces and threw them in the pot. They stirred everything with a big spoon. + +They made a big mess. The pot was too full and the mix spilled over the stove. The spoon was too heavy and they dropped it on the floor. The mix was sticky and smelly and colorful. + +They were clumsy. They did not know how to cook. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the mix and the mushroom. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "What is this?" + +"We wanted to eat the mushroom," Tom said. "We mixed it with other things." + +"You can't eat that mushroom," Mom said. "It is not good. It is bad. It can make you sick." + +She threw the mix and the mushroom in the trash. She cleaned the kitchen and the stove and the floor. She gave Tom and Mia a hug and a kiss. + +"Next time, ask me before you cook something," she said. "And don't pick mushrooms in the garden. They are not for eating. They are for looking." + +Tom and Mia nodded. They were sorry. They learned a lesson. + +They did not mix mushrooms anymore. +Ben and Mia like to play in the garden. They look for bugs and flowers and rocks. One day, they find a huge cricket under a leaf. It is green and brown and has long legs. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben says. He picks up the cricket and holds it in his hand. "It is so big and noisy!" + +"Can I see?" Mia asks. She wants to touch the cricket too. She likes bugs. + +"OK, but be gentle," Ben says. He gives the cricket to Mia. She strokes its back and feels its wings. + +The cricket does not like being held. It jumps out of Mia's hand and lands on her nose. Mia screams and shakes her head. The cricket flies away. + +"Oops, sorry!" Ben says. He laughs and hugs Mia. "Are you OK?" + +"Yes, I'm OK," Mia says. She wipes her nose and smiles. "That was funny. Let's find another bug!" +Anna loved her toy car. It was red and shiny and had four big wheels. She liked to drive it around the house and make loud noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +One day, she saw a chair in the living room. It was big and soft and had a pillow on it. Anna thought it would be fun to drive her car on the chair. She pushed her car up the chair and drove it on the pillow. It was bumpy and wobbly, but Anna liked it. + +But then, her car got stuck. It was too big for the pillow and it could not move. Anna tried to pull it out, but it was too hard. She started to cry. She wanted her car back. + +"Anna, what's wrong?" her mom asked. She heard Anna crying and came to see. She saw Anna and her car on the chair. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to drive my car on the chair, but it got stuck. I can't get it out," Anna said. + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "It's okay, Anna. I can help you. You have a very loyal car. It doesn't want to leave you. But we can get it out together. Here, let me show you." + +Her mom lifted the pillow and freed the car. She gave it back to Anna. Anna was happy. She hugged her car and thanked her mom. + +"Thank you, mom. You are the best. And you are right. My car is very loyal. It loves me and I love it," Anna said. + +Her mom kissed her and said, "You're welcome, Anna. I love you too. And I'm glad you love your car. But next time, please don't drive it on the chair. It might get dirty or break. You can drive it on the floor or outside. There are more places to explore." + +Anna nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will. Can I drive it now?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But be careful and have fun." + +Anna smiled and said, "I will, mom. Thank you." + +She took her car and drove it away. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big old faucet that gave water for the plants and the birds. Sometimes they turned the faucet on and off and made funny noises with the water. + +One day, they saw a shiny coin under the faucet. They wanted to get it, but it was too far for their hands. They tried to use a stick, a rock, and a bucket, but nothing worked. They were sad and angry. + +"Who put the coin there?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a fairy or a gnome," Mia said. + +"Maybe they want us to gain something," Tom said. + +"Gain what?" Mia asked. + +"Maybe a wish or a magic power," Tom said. + +They looked at the coin and wondered what they could gain. They decided to work together and use their brains. They found a long hose and attached it to the faucet. They turned the faucet on and aimed the hose at the coin. The water pushed the coin out of the hole and onto the grass. + +They ran to the coin and picked it up. They were happy and proud. + +"We did it! We gained the coin!" Tom said. + +"Yay! We are smart and brave!" Mia said. + +They hugged each other and looked at the coin. It was shiny and round and had a picture of a queen on it. + +"Maybe this is a magic coin," Tom said. + +"Maybe we can make a wish with it," Mia said. + +They closed their eyes and wished for something. They opened their eyes and smiled. + +"What did you wish for?" Tom asked. + +"I wished for more coins like this," Mia said. + +"What did you wish for?" Mia asked. + +"I wished for more water to play with," Tom said. + +They looked at the faucet and saw that it was still on. The water was spraying everywhere and making a big puddle. They laughed and jumped into the puddle. They splashed and played and had fun. + +They forgot about the coin and the wish. They only cared about the water and each other. They were happy and wet. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a red apron with white dots and a big pocket. She helped mom stir the soup, cut the bread and set the table. She felt very happy and proud. + +One day, Anna saw a little bird outside the window. It was gray and brown and had a yellow beak. It was hopping on the grass and pecking at the seeds. Anna thought it was very interesting and wanted to see it closer. She asked mom if she could go outside. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful and don't go too far," mom said. + +Anna put on her shoes and ran outside. She followed the bird with her eyes and tried to get near it. But the bird was shy and flew away. Anna chased it across the yard and into the bushes. She did not see the big hole in the ground and fell in. She was scared and hurt and started to cry. + +"Help! Help!" she shouted. + +Mom heard her cry and ran outside. She saw the hole and the apron sticking out. She grabbed the apron and pulled Anna out. She hugged her and kissed her and checked if she was okay. + +"Anna, what were you doing? You could have been hurt badly!" mom said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to see the bird. It was so interesting," Anna said. + +"I know, honey, but you have to be careful and listen to me. Birds are wild and they don't like to be chased. They are happy in the sky and the trees. You can watch them from a distance, but don't follow them. Okay?" mom said. + +"Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I love you," Anna said. + +"I love you too, sweetie. You are my brave little girl. Come on, let's go inside and have some soup. It will make you feel better," mom said. + +Anna nodded and smiled. She held mom's hand and walked inside. She was glad that mom rescued her and that she had a red apron with a big pocket. She still liked birds, but she decided to leave them alone. She learned a lesson that day. +Lila and Ben like to draw with crayons. They have many colors of crayons and many papers to draw on. They sit on the floor and make pictures of animals, flowers, and cars. + +One day, Lila has a new idea. She says to Ben, "Let's make a beautiful paper house. We can cut and fold and glue the papers together. Then we can draw windows and doors and a garden." + +Ben likes the idea. He says, "Yes, let's do that. I will get the scissors and the glue. You get the papers and the crayons." + +They set to work. They cut and fold and glue the papers together. They make a big paper house with four walls and a roof. They draw windows and doors and a garden. They use many colors of crayons to make the house beautiful. + +They are very happy with their paper house. They put it on the table and admire it. They say, "We made a beautiful paper house. We are very good at drawing and making things. We are proud of our paper house." +Ben and Mia were playing hide and seek in the park. Ben was the seeker and Mia was the hider. Mia ran behind a big tree and waited for Ben to find her. She was very quiet and still. + +Ben looked around the park and tried to guess where Mia was. He saw a swing, a slide, a bench, and a fountain, but no Mia. He wondered if she was very good at hiding or if he was very bad at seeking. He decided to look behind the big tree. + +He walked slowly to the tree and peeked around it. He saw a piece of Mia's pink dress sticking out from behind the trunk. He smiled and shouted, "I found you, Mia! You can't hide from me!" + +Mia heard Ben's voice and felt helpless. She knew he had seen her and she had no place to go. She came out from behind the tree and said, "You got me, Ben! You are a good seeker!" + +Ben and Mia hugged and laughed. They were happy to play together. They decided to switch roles and play again. Mia was the seeker and Ben was the hider. He ran to find a good spot and hoped Mia would not reveal him. +Lily liked to travel in her mind. She had many books in her bookcase that took her to different places. She could go to the farm, the jungle, the sea, or the moon. She loved to look at the pictures and learn new words. + +One day, she wanted to read a book about the stars. She knew it was on the top shelf of her bookcase, but she was too small to reach it. She tried to climb on a chair, but it was wobbly and she fell down. She hurt her knee and started to cry. + +Her big brother Tom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. He saw her bookcase and her chair and guessed what she wanted. He was helpful and kind. He lifted her up and hugged her. He said, "Don't cry, Lily. I'll get you the book. What book do you want?" + +Lily pointed to the book with the shiny cover. Tom reached for it and gave it to her. He said, "This is a book about the stars. Do you like the stars, Lily?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. Can you read it to me, please?" + +Tom said, "Of course, Lily. Let's go to the couch and read it together. Maybe we can travel to the stars in our mind." + +They went to the couch and opened the book. They saw many pictures of the stars and the planets. They learned their names and colors. They imagined they were in a spaceship, flying among the stars. They had fun and forgot about Lily's hurt knee. They were happy. +Sara and Tom were cold. They wanted to be warm. They saw a fireplace in the big room. The fireplace had wood and fire. The fire was red and yellow and orange. It made a crackle sound. + +"Can we go near the fireplace?" Sara asked Tom. + +"Yes, but be careful. The fire is hot. It can hurt you," Tom said. + +They walked to the fireplace. They saw a black thing on the floor. It had a handle and a long stick. It was a poker. + +"What is that?" Sara asked. + +"It is for the fire. You can use it to move the wood. But don't touch it. It can be hot too," Tom said. + +He picked up the poker with the handle. He held it in his hand. He poked the wood with the stick. The fire made a bigger crackle sound. + +"Wow, look at the fire!" Sara said. + +She wanted to hold the poker too. She reached for the handle. But Tom pulled it away. + +"No, Sara. You can't hold it. It is mine. I found it first," Tom said. + +He held the poker tighter. He did not want to share. + +Sara was sad. She wanted to play with the poker. She wanted to poke the fire. She did not like Tom. She crossed her arms. She made a pout face. + +"Tom, you are mean. You are not my friend. I don't like you," Sara said. + +She turned away from Tom. She walked to the sofa. She sat on the sofa. She hugged a pillow. She felt cold and lonely. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park is big and has many trees and flowers. Anna and Ben have a game. They pretend they are explorers. They look for new things in the park. + +One day, they find a big hill. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. They hold hands and start to walk up the hill. They are happy and excited. + +"Maybe we will find a castle or a dragon or a treasure!" Anna says. + +"Or maybe we will find the east!" Ben says. He knows that the east is where the sun comes up. He likes the sun. It is bright and warm. + +They reach the top of the hill. They look around. They see the park and the houses and the cars. They also see a big lake. The lake is blue and shiny. It looks like a mirror. + +"Wow, look at the lake!" Anna says. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Maybe it is the east!" Ben says. He thinks the lake is where the sun comes up. He wants to go closer and touch the water. + +"Let's go!" Anna says. They run down the hill towards the lake. They are careful not to fall or hurt themselves. + +They reach the lake. They see ducks and fish and frogs. They hear the water splash and ripple. They feel the breeze and the spray. They are happy and amazed. + +"Can we touch the water?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, but not too close!" Anna says. She knows that the water can be deep and dangerous. She does not want to fall in or get wet. + +They sit on the edge of the lake. They dip their fingers in the water. It is cold and wet. They giggle and splash each other. They have fun. + +They are explorers. They have found the east. They have found a big lake. They are happy. +Tom and Mia like to play with the board. The board is big and flat and has many colors on it. They can draw on the board with chalk or make shapes with magnets. Sometimes they play tic-tac-toe or hangman on the board. + +One day, Tom and Mia are playing with the board when they hear a loud noise. They look out the window and see a big truck. The truck is carrying many boxes and bags. They wonder what is in the boxes and bags. + +"Maybe it is toys," Tom says. + +"Maybe it is candy," Mia says. + +"Maybe it is books," Tom says. + +They run to the door and wait for the truck to stop. They hope the truck is for them. They want to see what is in the boxes and bags. + +The truck stops in front of their house. A man gets out of the truck. He is wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He has a clipboard in his hand. He looks at the door and sees Tom and Mia. + +"Hello, kids," he says. "Are you Tom and Mia?" + +"Yes, we are," Tom and Mia say. + +"I have a delivery for you," the man says. "Your grandma sent you a present. It is in this big box." + +He points to a big box on the back of the truck. The box is wrapped in red paper and has a bow on it. Tom and Mia are very excited. They wonder what is in the big box. + +"What is it? What is it?" they ask. + +The man smiles and shrugs. He does not know what is in the big box. He only knows it is from their grandma. + +"You will have to open it and see," he says. "But be careful. It is very heavy. You will need your mom or dad to help you." + +He lifts the big box and carries it to the door. He puts it down and gives the clipboard to Tom and Mia's mom. She signs her name and thanks the man. The man says goodbye and gets back in the truck. He drives away. + +Tom and Mia look at the big box. They want to open it right away. They ask their mom if they can. + +"Sure, you can," their mom says. "But first, you have to move the board. The board is in the way. You need more space to open the big box." + +Tom and Mia nod. They move the board to the side. They make sure it is not too close to the wall or the couch. They do not want to scratch the board or the wall or the couch. They like the board. The board is fun. + +But the big box is more fun. They wonder what is in the big box. They hope it is something they like. They hope it is something they can play with. + +They grab the bow and pull it. They tear the paper and open the box. They look inside and gasp. + +It is a board. A bigger board. A board with more colors and more magnets and more chalk. A board that can stand on its own and has wheels. A board that can move and spin and tilt. + +Tom and Mia are very happy. They hug the board and hug each other. They thank their mom and thank their grandma. They can't wait to play with the board. + +They move the old board to the corner. They do not need it anymore. They have a new board. A better board. A board that is big and flat and has many colors on it. + +They draw on the board with chalk and make shapes with magnets. They play tic-tac-toe and hangman and more games on the board. They have fun with the board. + +They love the board. The board is the best present ever. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They ran, jumped and slid on the grass. They saw a big puddle of mud. They wanted to splash in it. + +"Can we play in the mud, Mom?" Tom asked. + +Mom looked at the mud. She shook her head. "No, Tom. The mud is dirty. It can make you sick. And you have nice clothes on. They will get ruined." + +Tom and Lily felt sad. They wanted to have fun in the mud. They looked around. They saw a little dog. The dog was hurt. It had a cut on its leg. It was bleeding. + +"Look, Mom. The dog is hurt. Can we help it?" Lily asked. + +Mom nodded. She took out a bandage from her bag. She went to the dog. The dog was scared. It barked and growled. + +"Shh, it's okay. We are here to help you. We will heal your cut." Mom said softly. She petted the dog. The dog calmed down. Mom wrapped the bandage around the dog's leg. + +"There, you are all better. Do you have a name?" Mom asked. + +The dog wagged its tail. It licked Mom's hand. It had a tag on its collar. It said "Spot". + +"Hi, Spot. You are a good dog. Do you have a home?" Mom asked. + +Spot looked sad. He shook his head. He had no home. He had no family. + +"Oh, poor Spot. You are alone. Do you want to come with us?" Mom asked. + +Spot nodded. He barked happily. He liked Mom. He liked Tom and Lily. + +"Can we keep him, Mom? Please?" Tom and Lily begged. + +Mom smiled. She hugged Spot. She hugged Tom and Lily. + +"Of course we can. Spot is now part of our family. He is available for love. And we have plenty of love to give." Mom said. + +Tom and Lily cheered. They kissed Spot. They thanked Mom. + +They all went home. They gave Spot some food and water. They gave him a bed and a toy. They played with him. They cuddled with him. + +Spot was happy. He had a home. He had a family. He had healed. +Lily and Tom were playing with cards. They liked to make piles and match the pictures. Lily had a card with a big red apple. Tom had a card with a small green pear. + +"Do you like apples?" Lily asked Tom. + +"Yes, I do. They are sweet and juicy. Do you like pears?" Tom asked Lily. + +"I don't know. I never tasted a pear. What do they taste like?" Lily said. + +"They taste like... like... I don't know. They are different from apples. They are soft and crunchy. Do you want to try?" Tom said. + +He gave Lily his card with the pear. Lily looked at it. She saw a small bite mark on the corner. + +"Did you bite this card?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I did. I wanted to see if it tasted like a real pear. But it didn't. It tasted like paper. And it was hard and dry. I didn't like it." Tom said. + +Lily laughed. She thought Tom was silly. She gave him back his card. + +"Cards are not for eating. They are for playing. And for looking. Look, this card has an ancient castle. It is very old and big. Do you see the towers and the walls?" Lily said. + +She showed Tom her card with the castle. Tom looked at it. He saw the gray stones and the windows. + +"Wow, that is an ancient castle. It is very cool. Do you think there are people living in it? Or maybe dragons or knights?" Tom said. + +Lily and Tom imagined stories about the ancient castle. They had fun with their cards. They did not taste them anymore. They learned that cards are better for playing than for eating. +Lily liked to read books. She had many books in her bookcase. She liked to look at the pictures and learn new things. But today, she was bored. She had read all her books many times. She wanted a new book. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, can we go to the book store? I want a new book." + +Her mom said, "Not today, Lily. We have to stay home. It is raining outside." + +Lily was sad. She did not like the rain. She did not want to stay home. She said, "But mom, I have no books to read. They are all boring." + +Her mom said, "Why don't you try to make your own book? You can use paper, crayons, and stickers. You can draw and write whatever you want." + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked to draw and write. She liked to use stickers. She said, "OK, mom. I will try to make my own book." + +She went to her room and got some paper, crayons, and stickers. She started to make her own book. She drew a picture of a princess, a dragon, and a castle. She wrote some words under the picture. She put some stickers on the page. She made more pages with different pictures and words. She had fun making her own book. + +She showed her mom her book. Her mom said, "Wow, Lily, your book is amazing. You are very creative. I am proud of you." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. I like my book. It is not boring. It is fun." + +She put her book in her bookcase. She said, "Maybe tomorrow, we can go to the book store. But today, I am happy with my book." + +She hugged her mom and went to read her book again. She did not quit. She made her own book. +Tim and Kim were playing with their toy trucks in the yard. They liked to load the trucks with sand, rocks, and leaves and drive them around. They made noises like "vroom, vroom" and "beep, beep". + +But then they saw a big dog coming towards them. The dog was thin and had sharp teeth. It looked hungry and angry. It was a threat to Tim and Kim and their trucks. + +"Run, Kim, run!" Tim shouted. He grabbed his truck and ran to the house. Kim followed him with her truck. They slammed the door behind them and locked it. + +The dog barked and scratched at the door. It wanted to get in and bite Tim and Kim and their trucks. Tim and Kim were scared. They hugged each other and their trucks. + +"Go away, dog, go away!" Kim yelled. "You can't have our trucks!" + +Then they heard their mom's voice. She had come home from work. She saw the dog and shooed it away. She gave Tim and Kim a hug and a cookie. She said they were brave and smart. + +Tim and Kim smiled. They were safe and happy. They thanked their mom and shared their cookie. They decided to play with their trucks inside for a while. They liked to load the trucks with toys, books, and pillows and drive them around. They made noises like "vroom, vroom" and "beep, beep". +Mia and Leo went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. But Mia's favorite animal was the panda. She liked its black and white fur and its round ears. + +"Look, mom, the panda is eating bamboo!" Mia said, pointing at the enclosure. "Can I wave to it?" + +"Sure, honey, you can wave to the panda. Maybe it will wave back," mom said, smiling. + +Mia ran to the fence and waved her hand at the panda. The panda looked at her and lifted its paw. Mia was very happy. She waved again and again, and the panda waved back. + +Leo watched his sister and the panda. He felt envious. He wanted to wave to the panda too. He tried to squeeze next to Mia, but she pushed him away. + +"Stop it, Leo, this is my panda!" Mia said, frowning. "You can wave to another animal." + +"But I like the panda too!" Leo said, whining. "It's not fair!" + +Mom heard them and came over. She hugged them both and said, "Mia, Leo, don't fight. The panda is not yours or his. It belongs to the zoo. You can both wave to it and share the fun. There are enough animals for everyone." + +Mia and Leo looked at each other and nodded. They said sorry and hugged. Then they waved to the panda together. The panda waved back and smiled. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw many flowers in the grass. They were yellow and white and pink. Lily liked the yellow ones best. She said they were called daisies. + +"Look, Tom, I found a big daisy!" Lily said. She picked it up and smelled it. It smelled nice. She showed it to Tom. He smiled and said, "It's pretty. Can I have one too?" + +Lily nodded and looked for another daisy. She saw one near a tree. She ran to get it. But when she got there, she saw a big dog. The dog was black and brown and had a loud bark. It saw Lily and ran to her. It wanted to play. + +Lily was scared of the dog. She dropped the daisy and screamed. She ran back to Tom. Tom saw the dog and hugged Lily. He said, "Don't worry, Lily, it's OK. The dog won't hurt you. It just wants to have fun." + +But Lily did not want to have fun with the dog. She wanted to leave. She said, "Tom, let's go. I don't like the dog. I want to go home." + +Tom said, "OK, Lily, let's go. But can we take the daisies with us? They are so nice." + +Lily said, "Yes, Tom, we can take the daisies. But we have to be quick. The dog might follow us." + +They picked up the daisies and ran to the gate. They saw their mom waiting for them. She said, "Hi, kids, did you have a good time?" + +They said, "Yes, mom, we had a good time. But we saw a big dog. It scared Lily. We had to leave." + +Mom said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Lily. The dog was probably friendly. But I'm glad you're safe. And what lovely daisies you have. Can I have one?" + +They said, "Yes, mom, you can have one. They are yellow and they smell nice. We like them." + +They gave mom a daisy and hugged her. They went home happy. They put the daisies in a vase and looked at them. They smiled and said, "We love daisies. They are our favorite flowers." +Sara and Tom like to play in the woods. They find a big log that is good for sitting and hiding. They set their toys on the log and pretend they are in a castle. + +One day, they see a light in the sky. It is not the sun or the moon. It is a big star that falls and falls. They are scared and excited. They want to see where the star goes. + +They run after the light, but they forget their toys on the log. They follow the light until it lands in a field. They see a shiny thing that is round and hot. It is the star. They want to touch it, but it is too hot. + +"Wow, look at the star!" Sara says. + +"It is so pretty and bright!" Tom says. + +They hear a noise. It is a big bear that comes out of the woods. It smells the toys on the log. It goes to the log and takes the toys in its mouth. It likes the toys. It walks away with the toys. + +Sara and Tom see the bear. They are sad and angry. They want their toys back. + +"Hey, bear, give us our toys!" Sara shouts. + +"Go away, bear, those are ours!" Tom shouts. + +But the bear does not listen. It goes back to the woods with the toys. Sara and Tom cry. They wish they did not leave their toys on the log. They wish they did not chase the light. They go back to their home and tell their mom and dad what happened. They hug them and say they are sorry. They learn to be careful with their things and not to follow strangers. +Tommy loved his panda toy. He took it everywhere with him. He hugged it, he talked to it, he played with it. He called it Panda. Panda was his best friend. + +One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom. He brought Panda with him. He saw a big slide and wanted to try it. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He put Panda on his lap and slid down. It was fun! + +But when he reached the bottom, he saw that Panda was not on his lap anymore. He looked up and saw Panda on the top of the slide. He had dropped him. He felt sad and scared. He wanted Panda back. + +He cried, "Mom, mom, I lost Panda! He is up there! I want Panda!" + +His mom heard him and came to him. She saw Panda on the slide. She said, "Don't worry, Tommy. I will get Panda for you. Stay here and wait for me." + +She climbed up the ladder and reached for Panda. But as she did, a big wind blew and Panda flew away. He landed on a tree branch. He was too high to reach. + +Tommy and his mom looked at Panda on the tree. They felt very sad. They did not know how to get him down. + +A boy saw them and came to them. He said, "What's wrong? Why are you sad?" + +Tommy said, "I lost Panda. He is my toy. He is on the tree. I can't get him. He is my best friend." + +The boy looked at Panda on the tree. He said, "That's a stupid toy. It's not a real panda. It's just a piece of cloth. You don't need it. You can play with me. I have a ball. It's more fun than a stupid toy." + +Tommy felt angry. He did not like what the boy said. He said, "No, you are stupid. Panda is not a stupid toy. He is a real panda. He is my best friend. You don't understand. Go away. Leave me alone." + +The boy felt hurt. He said, "Fine. I don't want to play with you. You are mean. You are a crybaby. I will go and find someone else to play with." + +He took his ball and left. Tommy and his mom stayed and looked at Panda on the tree. They hoped that someone would help them get him down. They missed Panda very much. +Sara liked to help her mom with tasks. One day, her mom said, "Sara, we need to mail this letter to grandma. Can you help me?" + +Sara nodded and smiled. She loved grandma and wanted to send her a hug. She took the letter from her mom and put it in her backpack. Then they walked to the mailbox. + +On the way, they saw a cat. The cat was black and white and had a bell on its collar. It meowed at them and rubbed against Sara's leg. Sara bent down and petted the cat. She said, "Hello, kitty. You are very pretty. Do you want to come with us?" + +The cat shook its head and ran away. Sara was sad, but her mom said, "Don't worry, Sara. The cat has a home and a family. Maybe we can see it again another day." + +They reached the mailbox and Sara took out the letter. She looked at the stamp and the address. She said, "Mom, this is for grandma. She lives far away. How will she get the letter?" + +Her mom said, "The mailman will take the letter and put it in a big truck. Then he will drive to a big plane. The plane will fly to grandma's city. Then another mailman will take the letter and put it in grandma's mailbox. It will take some days, but grandma will be very happy to get the letter." + +Sara nodded and said, "Wow, that is a big task. The mailman is very good. Can we say thank you to him?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can. We can write him a note and put it in the mailbox. He will see it when he comes to get the letters. He will appreciate our modest gift." + +Sara liked that idea. She said, "OK, mom. Let's do that. I want to make the mailman happy too." + +They wrote a note and put it in the mailbox with the letter. Then they waved goodbye to the mailbox and walked back home. Sara felt proud and happy. She had helped her mom with a task and made two people smile. She hoped grandma and the mailman would like their mail. +Sara likes to help her mom bake cakes. She likes to see the flour, sugar, eggs and butter in the big bowl. She likes to smell the vanilla and the chocolate. She likes to taste the batter with her finger. + +Mom lets Sara use the mixer to mix the batter. The mixer is a tool that makes the batter smooth and fluffy. Sara holds the mixer with both hands and pushes the button. The mixer makes a loud noise and moves very fast. Sara feels the mixer shake in her hands. + +"Be gentle, Sara," Mom says. "Don't let the mixer move too much or the batter will spill out of the bowl." + +Sara tries to be gentle. She moves the mixer slowly and carefully around the bowl. She watches the batter change from lumpy to smooth. She smiles and says, "Look, Mom, I'm doing it!" + +Mom smiles back and says, "You're doing great, Sara. You're a good helper. Soon we can put the batter in the pan and bake the cake. Then we can eat it and share it with Dad and Sam." + +Sara is happy. She likes to help her mom bake cakes. She likes to use the mixer. She likes to be gentle. She likes to eat cake. +Lily was a very intelligent girl. She liked to learn new things and ask questions. One day, she saw her dad fold his clothes and put them in a drawer. She wanted to help him. + +"Dad, can I fold your clothes too?" she asked. + +"Sure, Lily, but be careful. Some of these clothes have buttons or zippers that can hurt you. And don't touch my razor. It is very sharp and can cut you." + +Lily nodded and picked up a shirt. She tried to fold it like her dad, but it was hard. The shirt was big and wrinkly. She made a mess. + +"Oops, I'm sorry, dad. I can't fold it well." + +"That's okay, Lily. You are still learning. Here, let me show you. You have to smooth the shirt first, then fold it in half, then in half again. Like this. See?" + +Lily watched her dad and tried to copy him. She folded the shirt better this time. She was happy. + +"Wow, dad, you are very good at folding. Can I fold another one?" + +"Sure, Lily, but remember what I said. Don't touch my razor. It is not a toy. It is for shaving my beard." + +Lily looked at the razor on the dresser. It was shiny and metal. She was curious. She wanted to touch it. + +"Dad, what is shaving? Why do you need a razor?" + +"Shaving is when I remove the hair from my face. I need a razor to cut the hair. But it is not for children. It is very dangerous. You can hurt yourself or others with it. Promise me you won't touch it, okay?" + +Lily nodded, but she didn't really listen. She waited until her dad was busy folding another shirt. Then she reached for the razor. She wanted to see how it felt. She grabbed it and felt a sharp pain in her finger. She dropped the razor and started to cry. + +"Dad, dad, it hurts! It hurts!" + +Her dad heard her cry and turned around. He saw the razor on the floor and the blood on her finger. He was scared and angry. + +"Lily, what did you do? I told you not to touch the razor! You could have cut yourself badly! Come here, let me see your finger. Oh, Lily, why didn't you listen to me?" + +He took her to the bathroom and washed her finger. He put a band-aid on it and hugged her. He was glad it was not a deep cut. + +"I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry. I just wanted to see the razor. I didn't mean to hurt myself." + +"I know, Lily, I know. But you have to listen to me when I tell you something is dangerous. You have to be careful and smart. You are a very intelligent girl, but you also have to be obedient and sensible. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, dad. I understand. I love you, dad." + +"I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go back and finish folding the clothes. And no more touching the razor, okay?" + +"Okay, dad. No more touching the razor." +Tom and Lily were very happy. They were going to see a big game at the stadium with their dad. They put on their hats and coats and got in the car. Dad drove them to the big place where many people were. They got out of the car and walked to the gate. + +"Look, Dad, the stadium is so big!" Tom said. + +"Yes, it is, Tom. And there are many seats inside. We have to find ours," Dad said. + +They followed the signs and the crowd to their seats. They had to go up many stairs. Lily held Dad's hand. She was a little scared of the stairs. They were steep and wet. + +"Be careful, Lily. Don't slip on the stairs," Dad said. + +"I won't, Dad. I will walk slow and gentle," Lily said. + +But as they reached the top of the stairs, Lily saw something shiny on the ground. She let go of Dad's hand and ran to pick it up. It was a coin. She was happy. She wanted to show it to Dad and Tom. + +"Dad, look, I found a coin!" Lily shouted. + +But as she turned around, she slipped on the wet stairs. She fell down and hurt her knee. She cried. + +"Oh, no, Lily, are you okay?" Dad asked. He ran to her and picked her up. He hugged her and kissed her knee. + +"I'm sorry, Dad. I slipped. It hurts," Lily said. + +"It's okay, Lily. It's just a little scratch. You are brave. Here, have a band-aid," Dad said. He took out a band-aid from his pocket and put it on Lily's knee. + +"Thank you, Dad. You are kind," Lily said. + +"Come on, let's go to our seats. The game is about to start. You can keep the coin. It's your lucky coin," Dad said. + +He carried Lily to their seats. Tom was waiting for them. He gave Lily a hug. + +"Are you okay, Lily? I'm sorry you slipped," Tom said. + +"I'm okay, Tom. Thank you. Look, I found a coin. It's my lucky coin," Lily said. + +She showed him the coin. He smiled. + +"That's cool, Lily. Maybe it will bring us luck for the game," Tom said. + +They sat down and watched the game. They cheered and clapped and had fun. They forgot about the slip and the scratch. They were happy. They had a good day at the stadium. +Tom and Ann like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They drive them on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. Sometimes they make noises like vroom, beep, and honk. + +One day, Tom and Ann find a big pin on the floor. It is shiny and sharp. Tom has an idea. He says to Ann, "Let's drive the pin into the wall. It will be fun!" + +Ann is not sure. She says, "But the wall is hard. And the pin is small. How can we drive it?" + +Tom says, "We can use a hammer. A hammer is strong. It can hit the pin hard. Then the pin will go into the wall." + +Ann says, "OK, let's try. But be careful. Don't hurt yourself or the wall." + +Tom and Ann find a hammer in the toolbox. They take turns to hold the pin and the hammer. They hit the pin with the hammer. It makes a loud noise. Bang, bang, bang! + +The pin goes into the wall a little bit. Tom and Ann are happy. They smile and clap. They say, "We did it! We drove the pin into the wall!" + +But then they hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you making so much noise? And why are you putting a pin in the wall?" + +Tom and Ann look at Mom. They feel scared. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We wanted to drive the pin into the wall." + +Mom says, "That is not a good idea. The pin can hurt you or the wall. And the hammer can break the wall. You should not play with these things. They are not toys. They are tools. You can play with your cars instead. They are safe and fun." + +Tom and Ann say, "OK, Mom. We are sorry. We will not do it again. We will play with our cars." + +Mom says, "That's good. I love you. But please be careful and quiet. And take the pin out of the wall." + +Tom and Ann say, "We love you too, Mom. We will be careful and quiet. And we will take the pin out of the wall." + +They hug Mom and go back to their cars. They drive them on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. They make noises like vroom, beep, and honk. But not too loud. They are happy. +Lily likes to make models with clay. She has many colors of clay and many shapes to cut. She makes models of animals, flowers, cars and houses. She puts them on her shelf to show her mom and dad. + +One day, Lily wants to make a model of a big cake. She takes all the clay and mixes them together. She makes a round base and a cone on top. She adds clay fruits and candies to decorate. She is very patient and careful. She thinks her cake looks yummy. + +But when she tries to move her cake to the shelf, it is too heavy. She drops it on the floor. The clay breaks and makes a big mess. Lily feels sad and scared. She thinks mom and dad will be angry. + +She hears mom coming. She quickly says, "Mom, I'm sorry, I made a mess. I was trying to make a model of a cake. Can you help me clean?" + +Mom sees the clay on the floor. She is not angry. She smiles and hugs Lily. She says, "Lily, I'm proud of you for making a model of a cake. It looks very nice. But next time, please use less clay and be more careful. Don't worry, we can clean this together. Then we can have a real cake for snack." + +Lily feels happy and relieved. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love cake." She helps mom clean the floor and put the clay away. Then they go to the kitchen and enjoy a slice of cake. +Tim and Jen were playing in the yard. They had a big sack full of toys. They liked to dump the toys on the grass and pretend they were different things. Sometimes they were animals, sometimes they were superheroes, sometimes they were pirates. + +One day, they saw a new automobile parked on the street. It was shiny and red and had four doors. They wanted to see it closer. They grabbed their sack and ran to the sidewalk. They looked at the automobile from all sides. It had a thick bumper, a round wheel, a long antenna, and a small mirror. + +"Wow, this is a nice automobile!" Tim said. "I wish I could drive it." + +"Me too!" Jen said. "Maybe we can pretend it is ours. We can put our toys in the back and go on a trip." + +They opened the back door of the automobile and threw their sack inside. They climbed in and closed the door. They put on the seat belts and held the steering wheel. + +"Where do you want to go?" Tim asked. + +"Let's go to the zoo!" Jen said. "I want to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants." + +"Okay, let's go!" Tim said. He made a vroom sound with his mouth and turned the wheel. + +They pretended they were driving to the zoo. They saw trees and houses and people on the way. They made animal noises and laughed. + +They did not know that the automobile belonged to Mr. Lee, the neighbor. He was inside his house, getting ready to go to work. He had a big meeting and he was in a hurry. He did not see Tim and Jen playing in his automobile. + +He grabbed his keys and his briefcase and walked out of his house. He saw his automobile and smiled. He liked his automobile very much. He opened the driver's door and got in. He started the engine and backed out of the driveway. + +He did not hear Tim and Jen screaming in the back. He did not see their sack full of toys. He did not know he had two extra passengers. + +He drove away, fast and furious, to his big meeting. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says. "It looks fun!" + +"OK!" Lily says. "But I am a little scared. It is very high." + +Tom smiles. He shows Lily his arm. He makes a muscle. "Look at my muscle!" he says. "I am very strong. I can help you. Do you have a muscle?" + +Lily looks at her arm. She makes a muscle too. "Yes, I have a muscle!" she says. "But it is not as big as yours." + +Tom laughs. He points to Lily's shirt. It is orange. "But your shirt is very pretty!" he says. "It is orange. Orange is my favorite color. Do you like orange?" + +Lily nods. She likes orange too. She points to Tom's hat. It is orange. "Your hat is very nice!" she says. "It is orange too. We both like orange!" + +Tom and Lily are happy. They hold hands. They go on the slide. They have fun. They make a lot of noise. They are not scared. They are brave. They have muscles. They like orange. They are friends. +Tom and Sue were playing in the park. They liked to climb on the large slide and go down fast. They also liked to swing on the swings and feel the wind in their hair. + +One day, they saw a gray bird on a branch. It had a long beak and shiny feathers. Tom and Sue wanted to see it closer, so they walked to the tree. The bird looked at them and made a loud noise. + +"Hello, bird!" Tom said. "What is your name?" + +The bird did not answer. It opened its beak and snapped at Tom. Tom was scared and ran away. Sue followed him. + +"Ouch, that bird is mean!" Tom said. "Why did it snap at me?" + +"I don't know," Sue said. "Maybe it was protecting its nest. Or maybe it did not like us." + +"Let's play somewhere else," Tom said. "I don't want to see that bird again." + +"Me neither," Sue said. "Let's go to the sandbox and make a castle." + +They ran to the sandbox and forgot about the gray bird. They had fun making a castle with their buckets and shovels. They did not notice the bird flying away to another tree. +Tim was a lonely penguin. He lived in a big zoo with many other animals, but he had no friends. He wanted to play and have fun, but the other penguins ignored him. They said he was too small and too slow. They laughed at him when he tried to slide on the ice or catch a fish. + +One day, a new animal came to the zoo. It was a big brown bear. The bear was very curious and friendly. He walked around the zoo and said hello to everyone. He saw Tim sitting by himself in the corner of the penguin pool. He went over to him and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" + +Tim was surprised and scared. He had never seen a bear before. He thought the bear might eat him. He said, "I'm Tim. Please don't hurt me." + +Ben smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I'm a nice bear. I just want to be your friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tim looked at Ben and saw that he was not mean or scary. He saw that he was lonely too. He said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. What do you want to play?" + +Ben said, "How about we slide on the ice? It looks like fun." + +Tim said, "OK, but I'm not very good at it. The other penguins laugh at me." + +Ben said, "Don't mind them. They are silly. I'll show you how to slide. Come on, follow me." + +Ben and Tim went to the ice and slid down together. They had a lot of fun. They laughed and splashed and chased each other. The other penguins watched them and wondered what they were doing. They had never seen a penguin and a bear play together. They thought it was strange and funny. + +But Tim and Ben didn't care. They were happy. They had found a friend. They were not lonely anymore. +Lila and Ben like to bake with Mom. They help Mom put flour, eggs, milk and sugar in a big bowl. They stir and stir with a big spoon. Mom says, "Good job, my helpers!" + +Mom puts the bowl in the oven. She says, "Now we wait for the cake to bake. It will be yummy and sweet." Lila and Ben nod. They are hungry and excited. + +They go to the living room and play with their toys. They have a wild game of cars and dolls. They make loud noises and pretend to crash and talk. Mom smiles and watches them. + +The oven makes a ding sound. Mom says, "The cake is ready! Let's go and see." Lila and Ben run to the kitchen. They see a big, round cake on the table. It smells good and looks good. + +Mom cuts a slice for each of them. She says, "Be careful, it's hot. Don't burn your lip." Lila and Ben blow on their cake and take small bites. They say, "Mmm, this is the best cake ever! Thank you, Mom!" + +Mom hugs them and says, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm happy you like it. You are the best helpers ever!" Lila and Ben hug Mom back and say, "We love you, Mom!" They eat their cake and smile. +Lily and Max were playing in the tent in the backyard. It was dark outside, but they had a flashlight. They liked to make shadows on the wall with their hands and toys. + +"Look, I can make a bunny!" Lily said, holding up two fingers. + +"I can make a bird!" Max said, flapping his hand. + +They laughed and tried to make more animals. Then Lily had an idea. + +"Let's see what else we can find with the flashlight!" she said. + +She turned the flashlight on and pointed it around the tent. She saw a book, a ball, a doll, and a flower. + +"Look, a flower!" she said, picking it up. It was a delicate flower, with pink petals and a yellow center. + +"Be careful, don't break it!" Max said. + +He reached for the flower, but Lily pulled it away. + +"No, it's mine!" she said. + +They started to fight over the flower. They pulled and tugged and yelled. The flower ripped in half. They both gasped and dropped it. + +They looked at the flower on the ground. It was not pretty anymore. It was sad and broken. + +They felt bad. They looked at each other. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Max said. + +"I'm sorry, Max," Lily said. + +They hugged and said they were sorry again. They picked up the flower and put it back in the vase. They hoped it would be okay. + +They decided to play something else. They turned off the flashlight and cuddled in the tent. They told each other stories and sang songs. They were happy and friends again. +Anna liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors, but her favorite was yellow. She liked to draw suns and stars and flowers with yellow. She also liked to share her drawings with her friends. + +One day, she decided to deliver a drawing to her friend Ben, who lived next door. She put her yellow crayon and a piece of paper in her backpack and went outside. She saw Ben playing with his ball in his yard. She waved and said, "Hi, Ben! I have something for you!" + +Ben smiled and said, "Hi, Anna! What do you have?" He ran to meet her at the fence. + +Anna opened her backpack and took out her paper. She said, "I made a drawing for you. It is a sun with a happy face. I used my yellow crayon. Do you like it?" + +Ben looked at the drawing and said, "Wow, Anna! I love it! It is very bright and pretty. Thank you for delivering it to me. You are very kind." + +Anna said, "You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you like it. Do you want to draw with me? I have more crayons in my backpack." + +Ben said, "Yes, please! I like to draw too. Can I use your yellow crayon?" + +Anna said, "Sure, you can. Yellow is my favorite, but I can share it with you. Come on, let's go to my porch and draw together." + +They held hands and walked to Anna's porch. They sat on the floor and took out their crayons and papers. They drew suns and stars and flowers and other things. They had fun and talked and laughed. They were happy to be friends. +Tom and Lily like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, towers, cars and animals with their blocks. They have fun playing together. + +One day, they decide to make a big castle with their blocks. They use all the blocks they have. They make walls, windows, doors and a flag. They are very proud of their castle. They show it to their mom and dad. + +"Wow, what a beautiful castle!" Mom says. "You are very clever, Tom and Lily." + +"Thank you, Mom," Tom and Lily say. + +"It's time for lunch now," Dad says. "Come and wash your hands." + +"OK, Dad," Tom and Lily say. They run to the bathroom. + +But they forget to tidy their blocks. The blocks are all over the floor. They make a big mess. + +After lunch, Mom and Dad want to go to the living room. But they see the blocks on the floor. They are not happy. + +"Tom, Lily, come here," Mom says. "Look at this mess. You need to tidy your blocks." + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom and Lily say. They feel bad. + +They go to the living room and start to tidy their blocks. They put them in a big box. They say sorry to their mom and dad again. + +"Thank you, Tom and Lily," Mom says. "Now the living room is tidy. You can play with your blocks again, but remember to tidy them when you are done." + +"OK, Mom," Tom and Lily say. They hug their mom and dad. They learn to be tidy. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was the big armchair. It was soft and cozy and had a lot of pillows. Sometimes they pretended it was a castle, or a spaceship, or a jungle. + +One day, they decided to play a game of pick. They took turns picking a pillow from the armchair and hiding it somewhere in the room. Then the other one had to find it and bring it back. They had a lot of fun, until Lily picked the last pillow and ran away with it. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Tom shouted. "You have to give it back!" + +"No, I don't!" Lily said. "I picked it, so it's mine!" + +Tom chased Lily around the room, but she was too fast. She hid behind the couch, under the table, and in the closet. Tom could not catch her or find the pillow. + +"Please, Lily, give it back!" Tom begged. "The armchair looks sad without it. It's not regular anymore." + +Lily peeked out from the closet and saw the armchair. It did look sad, with no pillows on it. She felt sorry for it, and for Tom. She came out of the closet and gave the pillow to Tom. + +"Here, you can have it," she said. "I'm sorry I was mean. Let's make the armchair regular again." + +Tom smiled and hugged Lily. "Thank you, Lily. You're a good sister. Let's put the pillows back and make the armchair happy." + +They worked together to put the pillows back on the armchair. It looked soft and cozy and happy again. They climbed on it and cuddled with the pillows. They were happy, too. They had a good game of pick, and they learned to share. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She saw a big red truck with a loud noise and a cross on it. It was an ambulance. She wondered if someone was hurt. + +She ran to the ambulance and saw Ben hiding behind it. He had a bandage on his arm and a sad face. "Ben, what happened?" she asked. + +"I fell from the slide and hurt my arm. It was bleeding a lot. The ambulance came and took me here. They put a bandage on it and gave me a sticker. They said I was brave," Ben said. + +Lily hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry you got hurt. You are very brave. Do you want to play hide and seek again?" + +Ben shook his head and said, "No, thank you. I'm sleepy now. I want to go home and rest." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, let's go home then. I'll help you carry your backpack. Maybe we can play again tomorrow." + +They walked to their mom, who was waiting for them. She thanked the ambulance people and took them home. Lily and Ben were happy to be together, even if they couldn't play hide and seek. They had a snack and a nap and dreamed of the park. +Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard after dinner. They liked to splash in the puddles and look for bugs and frogs. Lily had a flashlight that her dad gave her. It was fancy and had different colors and sounds. + +"Look, Ben, I can make the flashlight red and blue and green!" Lily said, shining the light on the grass. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Ben said. "Can I try?" + +Lily nodded and handed him the flashlight. Ben pressed the buttons and made the light change. He pointed it at the fence and saw something shiny. + +"What's that?" he asked. + +Lily followed his gaze and saw a necklace hanging from a nail. It had beads and sparkles and looked very pretty. + +"Maybe it's a treasure!" Lily said. "Let's go get it!" + +They ran to the fence and reached for the necklace. But as they did, they heard a loud bark and saw a big dog on the other side. The dog was angry and wanted to protect his necklace. + +"Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!" the dog barked, jumping and snapping at them. + +Lily and Ben screamed and dropped the flashlight. They ran back to the house, splashing in the puddles and getting wet. + +"Mom! Mom! There's a scary dog in the neighbor's yard!" they cried. + +Mom came out and hugged them. She saw the flashlight on the ground and picked it up. + +"Are you OK?" she asked. "What happened?" + +Lily and Ben told her about the necklace and the dog. Mom smiled and said, "That's not a treasure, that's Mr. Brown's dog's toy. He likes to play with it and hang it on the fence. You shouldn't try to take it, it's not nice." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and said, "We're sorry, Mom. We didn't know. We just wanted to see the fancy necklace." + +Mom said, "It's OK, I understand. But next time, ask before you touch something that belongs to someone else. And be careful of the dog, he might bite you." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "OK, Mom. We will." + +Mom gave them the flashlight and said, "Why don't you go inside and dry off? You can play with the flashlight in your room. It's very fancy and fun." + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +They hugged Mom and went inside, happy to have the flashlight and each other. +Lily liked to sing. She sang in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang in her room, in the garden, and in the car. She sang loud and happy. She wanted to be a star. + +But Lily did not sing very well. Her voice was too high, too low, or too off. Her mom and dad loved her, but they did not like her singing. Her brother and sister plugged their ears. Her friends laughed at her. Lily felt sad. + +One day, Lily saw a flyer. It said: "Sing and Shine! Learn how to sing better with Miss Rose. Call now and join the class." Lily wanted to join. She asked her mom and dad. They said yes. They hoped Lily would improve. + +Lily went to the class. She met Miss Rose. She was a nice lady. She had a beautiful voice. She taught Lily how to breathe, how to warm up, how to listen, and how to sing. Lily practiced a lot. She sang with other kids. She had fun. + +After a few weeks, Lily sang much better. Her voice was clear, strong, and on tune. Her mom and dad were proud of her. Her brother and sister clapped for her. Her friends cheered for her. Lily was happy. + +One day, Miss Rose said: "Lily, you have improved a lot. You have a lovely voice. You are ready for the show." Lily was excited. She asked: "What show?" Miss Rose said: "The school talent show. You can sing in front of everyone. You will be popular." + +Lily was nervous. She wanted to do well. She wanted to be a star. She went home and practiced more. She took a shower and put on a nice dress. She went to the school with her mom and dad. She saw a big stage. She saw a lot of people. She saw her friends. She smiled. + +Lily went on the stage. She saw a microphone. She heard the music. She opened her mouth. She sang. She sang loud and happy. She sang like a star. Everyone listened. Everyone clapped. Everyone cheered. Lily was happy. She had improved. She had shone. She was popular. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big building with many pipes and noises. It was a factory where people made things. + +"Let's go see what they make," Tom said. He was curious and brave. + +"No, we can't," Lily said. She was scared and careful. "It is not for kids. It might be dangerous." + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the factory gate and tried to open it. It was locked. He looked for a hole or a gap to get in. He found one under the fence. He crawled through it and waved at Lily. + +"Come on, it's fun," he said. + +Lily shook her head. She stayed outside. She saw a man with a uniform and a hat. He was a guard. He saw Tom and shouted. + +"Hey, you! Get out of there! This is not a playground!" + +Tom heard the guard and got scared. He tried to crawl back under the fence, but he got stuck. His shirt was caught on a wire. He pulled and pulled, but he could not get free. He felt weak and helpless. + +"Help me, Lily!" he cried. + +Lily heard Tom and felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him, but she did not know how. She saw the guard coming closer. He looked angry and mean. + +She had an idea. She ran to the guard and offered him a flower. She had picked it from the grass. She smiled and said. + +"Please, sir, don't be mad. Tom is my friend. He just wanted to see the factory. He did not mean to be bad. Can you help him get out?" + +The guard looked at Lily and the flower. He felt surprised and soft. He took the flower and said. + +"Thank you, little girl. You are very sweet and polite. I will help your friend. But you must promise me not to come here again. The factory is not a safe place for kids. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said. + +"Yes, sir, I understand. I promise. Thank you for helping Tom." + +The guard went to the fence and freed Tom. He gave him back his shirt and said. + +"Go on, run along. And don't come back. And be more careful next time." + +Tom and Lily ran away from the factory. They hugged and said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly and foolish. You were right. The factory is not for kids." + +"It's okay, Tom. I'm glad you are safe. You are my friend. I will always help you." + +They went back to their homes and told their parents what happened. Their parents were not happy, but they were also relieved. They hugged them and said. + +"We love you, Tom and Lily. But you must listen to us and follow the rules. The factory is not a place for you to play. There are many other places where you can have fun and learn. Do you agree?" + +Tom and Lily agreed. They learned their lesson. They never went to the factory again. They played in the park, the garden, the library, and the school. They had many adventures, but they were always safe and smart. They were still friends who liked to play outside. +Lily and Sam were going to visit their grandma in the big building. They liked the big building because it had an elevator. An elevator was a box that moved up and down and took them to different floors. + +They held their mom's hand and walked to the elevator. They pressed the button with the number 7 on it. That was where their grandma lived. The elevator door opened and they went inside. The elevator was bright and shiny. It had many buttons and lights. + +"Can I press the button, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Me too, me too!" Sam said. + +"OK, you can both press the button. But only once, OK?" mom said. + +Lily and Sam each pressed the button with the number 7 on it. The elevator made a ding sound and started to move. They felt their tummies go up and down. They giggled and looked at each other. + +The elevator stopped at the fourth floor. The door opened and a man came in. He had a big suitcase and a hat. He smiled at them and said hello. He pressed the button with the number 9 on it. + +The elevator moved again. Lily and Sam watched the numbers change on the wall. They counted them out loud. "Five, six, seven!" + +The elevator stopped at the seventh floor. The door opened and they saw their grandma waiting for them. She had a big smile and a hug. + +"Hello, my darlings! I'm so happy to see you!" she said. + +They ran to her and gave her a hug. They were so happy to see her too. They filled her with love. +Anna liked to play in the garden. She saw many flowers and insects. She liked to touch them and look at them. But she did not like the long insects with many legs. She was afraid of them. She called them icky. + +One day, she saw a long insect on a leaf. It was brown and hairy. It had many legs and two big eyes. Anna was scared. She wanted to make it go away. She picked up a stick and hit the long insect. The long insect fell off the leaf and curled up. Anna felt happy. + +But then, she heard a voice. It was her mom. She was angry. She saw what Anna did. She said, "Anna, what are you doing? Why did you hit the long insect? That is not nice. The long insect did not hurt you. It is a living thing. You should not hurt living things. You should be kind to them. You made the long insect sad. You need to say sorry to the long insect. And you need to punish yourself. You need to go to your room and think about what you did. No more playing in the garden today." + +Anna felt sad. She did not mean to hurt the long insect. She did not know it was a living thing. She did not know it had feelings. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, long insect. I did not know. I will not do it again. I will be kind to insects. Please forgive me." She went to her room and punished herself. She sat on her bed and thought about what she did. She learned a lesson. She decided to be more careful and gentle with insects. She hoped the long insect was okay. She hoped her mom was not mad at her. She hoped she could play in the garden again. She hoped she could make friends with the long insect. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the garden and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they found a big mushroom under a tree. It was red and white and had a round top. + +"Wow, look at this mushroom!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and big!" + +Tom nodded. He had an idea. He picked a daisy and put it on Lily's head. "You look like a princess," he said. "Do you want to marry me?" + +Lily smiled. She liked Tom very much. She took his hand and said, "Yes, I want to marry you. You are my prince." + +They pretended to have a wedding by the mushroom. They said, "I do" and gave each other a hug. Then they had a picnic with some cookies and juice. They were very happy. + +The mushroom watched them and smiled too. It was glad to have some friends. It thought they were a good fit. It hoped they would come back and play again. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park with their dog, Spot. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. Spot liked to chase and bark and fetch and dig. They were having a lot of fun. + +But then, they saw a big gray car stop near the park. Two men got out of the car. They looked mean and scary. They had a big net and a big cage. They wanted to catch Spot and take him away. + +"Hey, look at that dog!" one of the men said. "He is big and strong and fast. He would make a good guard dog for our boss. Let's get him!" + +Ben and Mia heard the men and got scared. They loved Spot and did not want to lose him. They knew they had to part from the men and escape with Spot. + +"Spot, come here!" Ben called. "We have to go home now!" + +Spot heard Ben and ran to him. But the men saw him too and ran after him. They threw the net over Spot and tried to drag him to the cage. + +"Help! Help!" Mia shouted. "They are taking Spot!" + +Some other people in the park heard Mia and saw what was happening. They did not like the men and what they were doing. They ran to help Ben and Mia and Spot. + +"Stop! Stop!" they shouted. "Leave the dog alone! He belongs to the kids!" + +They pulled the net off Spot and pushed the men away. They told the men to go away and never come back. The men got scared and angry. They got in their car and drove away fast. + +Ben and Mia hugged Spot and thanked the people. They were happy and relieved. They had parted from the men and escaped with Spot. They went home with their dog and told their mom and dad what happened. They were proud and brave. They loved Spot and Spot loved them. They were a happy family. +Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the garden. They dig in the soil with their hands and make mud pies. They also look for bugs and worms. They are not afraid of them. They think they are funny and interesting. + +One day, they find a big, fat caterpillar. It is green and fuzzy. Sara picks it up and puts it on her nose. It tickles her. She giggles and says, "Look, Ben, I have a caterpillar nose!" Ben laughs and says, "You look silly, Sara. Can I try?" He takes the caterpillar and puts it on his ear. It wiggles and crawls. He laughs and says, "Now I have a caterpillar ear!" + +They take turns putting the caterpillar on different parts of their faces. They laugh and laugh. They are having so much fun. They forget about the mud pies and the bugs and the worms. They only care about the caterpillar. They are very gentle with it. They do not hurt it. They are kind to it. + +The caterpillar likes Sara and Ben. It thinks they are dependable friends. It trusts them. It does not mind being on their faces. It feels safe and warm. It is happy. It also laughs, but in a very quiet way. Only Sara and Ben can hear it. They are the only ones who understand it. They are the only ones who love it. They are the only ones who make it laugh. +Lily liked to look at the plants in the garden. She saw roses, sunflowers, daisies and more. But her favorite plant was the cactus. The cactus had green spikes and a pink flower on top. Lily thought the cactus was cute. + +One day, Lily wanted to touch the cactus. She reached out her hand and said, "Hello, cactus. You are cute. Can I pet you?" But the cactus said, "No, Lily. I have spikes. They will hurt you. Please don't touch me." + +Lily was sad. She wanted to be friends with the cactus. She asked, "Why do you have spikes, cactus? Why can't I pet you?" The cactus said, "I have spikes to protect myself. I live in a dry and hot place. I need to save water and keep away animals. That's how I survive. I value my spikes. They are part of me." + +Lily understood. She said, "I'm sorry, cactus. I didn't know that. I value you too. You are a special plant. You are cute and strong. Can I look at you and talk to you?" The cactus said, "Yes, Lily. You can look at me and talk to me. I like that. You are a kind and curious girl. You are cute and smart. We can be friends." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, cactus. You are a good friend. I will come back and visit you again." The cactus smiled too. He said, "You're welcome, Lily. I will wait for you. Goodbye for now." Lily waved and walked away. She was happy. She had a new friend in the garden. +Tom liked to design things. He had many crayons and papers. He drew cars, planes, houses and animals. He wanted to be a designer when he grew up. + +One day, he saw a big bus on the street. It was old and dirty. It had many holes and scratches. It made a loud noise. Tom felt sorry for the bus. He thought it was poor and sad. + +He decided to design a new bus for it. He took a big paper and a blue crayon. He drew a big and shiny bus. It had many windows and doors. It had a happy face and a horn. It looked like a friendly bus. + +He showed his design to his mom. She smiled and hugged him. She said, "You are a very good designer, Tom. You have a kind heart. You want to make the poor bus happy." + +Tom felt proud and happy. He said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can we give my design to the bus driver? Maybe he can make the bus look like my design." + +Mom said, "Sure, Tom. Let's go and find the bus driver. Maybe he will like your design too." +Anna and Ben love to play with their dog, Max. Max is big and brown and likes to run and jump. Sometimes, Max is difficult. He does not listen to Anna and Ben when they call him. He chews their toys and shoes. He barks at the mailman and the cat. + +One day, Anna and Ben want to teach Max a new trick. They have a ball and a treat. They tell Max to sit and stay. Max sits, but he does not stay. He runs after the ball and the treat. Anna and Ben try again and again, but Max does not learn. + +"Max is too difficult," Anna says. "He does not want to do the trick." + +"Maybe we should try something else," Ben suggests. "What else can Max do?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She remembers that Max likes to dig. She has an idea. + +"Let's hide the treat in the sand," she says. "Then we can tell Max to find it. That is a trick, too." + +Ben likes the idea. He digs a hole in the sand and puts the treat inside. He covers it with more sand. He calls Max and points to the hole. + +"Find it, Max, find it!" he says. + +Max sniffs the sand. He smells the treat. He digs with his paws. He finds the treat and eats it. He wags his tail and licks Ben's face. + +"Good boy, Max, good boy!" Ben says. + +Anna claps her hands. She is happy. + +"See, Max can do a trick," she says. "He is not so difficult. He is smart and fun." + +Anna and Ben hug Max. They play with him some more. They love their dog, Max. +Lily was a big girl who liked to play with her toys, draw with her crayons and read her books. But sometimes, she felt very tired and her eyes wanted to close. Her mom told her that she needed to take a nap every day, so she could grow and learn and have more energy. Lily did not like to take naps. She thought they were boring and she wanted to keep playing. + +One day, Lily decided to hide under her bed when it was time for her nap. She thought her mom would not find her there and she could play with her stuffed animals. She was very quiet and did not make any noise. She heard her mom calling her name and looking for her in the living room, the kitchen and the bathroom. Lily felt very clever and smiled to herself. + +But soon, Lily started to feel sleepy. Her eyes became heavy and her head felt fuzzy. She yawned and cuddled with her teddy bear. She thought maybe she could close her eyes for just a little bit and then wake up and play again. She did not notice that her mom had found her under the bed and was watching her with a smile. + +"Sweetie, are you ready for your nap?" her mom asked softly. + +Lily opened her eyes and saw her mom's face. She felt a little guilty and a little scared. She thought her mom would be angry with her for hiding and not listening. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I did not want to take a nap. I wanted to play," she said in a small voice. + +Her mom hugged her and kissed her forehead. She was not angry. She understood that Lily was curious and adventurous, but she also knew that Lily needed to rest. + +"I know, honey. But naps are good for you. They help you grow and learn and have more energy. And you know what? If you take a nap now, I will allow you to play with your toys, draw with your crayons and read your books later. How does that sound?" her mom said gently. + +Lily thought about it. She liked the idea of playing with her toys, drawing with her crayons and reading her books later. She also felt very sleepy and cozy under her bed with her teddy bear. She nodded and smiled at her mom. + +"Okay, mom. I will take a nap now. Thank you for allowing me to play later," she said. + +Her mom tucked her in and sang her a lullaby. Lily closed her eyes and drifted into a peaceful sleep. She had a successful nap and a happy dream. She woke up feeling refreshed and ready to play. She was glad that her mom loved her and helped her. She was a big girl who liked to take naps. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her toys. She had a yellow doll, a yellow car, and a yellow ball. She liked yellow because it was bright and happy. + +One day, she went to the farm with her mom and dad. She saw many animals there, like cows, pigs, and chickens. She also saw a big pile of hay. Hay was dry and soft and smelled like grass. + +"Can I play with the hay, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful not to hurt yourself or the animals," mom said. + +Lily ran to the hay and started to make a fort. She used her hands and feet to move the hay and make walls and a roof. She was having fun, but she wanted someone to play with. + +She looked around and saw a small horse. The horse was brown and white and had a long mane and tail. He was eating some hay near the pile. + +"Hi, horse," Lily said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +The horse looked at Lily and nodded. He walked over to her and sniffed her yellow doll. + +"This is my doll. Her name is Sunny," Lily said. "She is yellow, like the sun." + +The horse made a soft noise and nuzzled the doll. He liked Sunny. + +"Can you help me with my fort?" Lily asked. "We can make it bigger and better." + +The horse nodded again and used his mouth and hooves to move some hay. He helped Lily make the fort bigger and better. He was strong and smart. + +"Thank you, horse. You are a good friend," Lily said. "What is your name?" + +The horse made another noise and pointed to a sign on his stall. The sign had some letters and a picture of a star. + +"Your name is Star?" Lily asked. + +The horse nodded and smiled. + +"I like your name. It is pretty, like you," Lily said. + +She hugged Star and gave him a kiss. Star hugged her back and gave her a lick. + +Mom and dad came over and saw Lily and Star playing. They were happy to see them having fun. + +"You made a nice fort, Lily," mom said. "And you made a new friend, too." + +"Yes, mom. This is Star. He is a horse. He helped me with the fort. He likes my yellow doll. He is yellow, too," Lily said. + +She pointed to the star on his forehead. + +"He is yellow, too," dad said. "He is a special horse. He is a palomino." + +"A palomino?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, a palomino. That is a kind of horse that has a yellow coat and a white mane and tail. They are very beautiful and gentle," dad said. + +Lily smiled and looked at Star. She thought he was the most beautiful and gentle horse in the world. + +"I love you, Star," she said. + +"I love you, too, Lily," Star said in his own way. + +Mom and dad smiled and encouraged Lily to keep playing with Star. They were proud of their little girl and her big heart. +Tim and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pie on a table near the swings. It smelled good and looked yummy. They wanted to try some, but they did not know who made the pie or if they could have it. + +"Who do you think left the pie here?" Tim asked Lily. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone forgot it," Lily said. + +"Maybe we can have a little bite. Just a little one," Tim said. + +He reached for the pie, but Lily stopped him. + +"No, Tim. That is not nice. The pie is not ours. We should wait and see if someone comes back for it," Lily said. + +She was a humble girl who did not like to take things that did not belong to her. + +Tim felt bad. He knew Lily was right. He did not want to be greedy or rude. He put his hand down and said sorry. + +"Sorry, Lily. You are a good friend. You are right. We should not touch the pie," Tim said. + +They sat on the swings and waited. After a while, a lady came to the table. She looked happy to see the pie. + +"Hello, children. Do you like pie?" she asked them. + +"Yes, we do. But we did not touch your pie. We waited for you," Lily said. + +The lady smiled. She was the one who made the pie. She was having a picnic with her friends, but they had to go somewhere for a while. She left the pie to cool down. + +"That is very kind of you. Thank you for being honest and respectful. You are very good children. Would you like to have some pie with me?" she asked them. + +Tim and Lily nodded. They were happy and hungry. The lady cut the pie and gave them each a slice. She also gave them some napkins and forks. + +"Here you go. Enjoy the pie. It is apple and cinnamon. My favorite," she said. + +Tim and Lily took a bite. The pie was warm and sweet and soft. They liked it very much. They thanked the lady and smiled. + +The lady was happy too. She liked to share her pie with nice children. She squeezed their hands and said: + +"You are very welcome. Thank you for being my friends. You made my day." +Tim and Anna were playing in the park with their toys. Tim had a red car and Anna had a white aeroplane. They made noises and pretended to drive and fly around the grass. + +"Look, my aeroplane can go very high!" Anna said, throwing it in the air. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Tim said, watching it soar. "Can I try?" + +Anna nodded and gave him her aeroplane. Tim threw it as hard as he could, but it landed on a tree. + +"Oh no!" they both said. + +They ran to the tree and looked up. The aeroplane was stuck on a branch, too high to reach. + +"How can we get it down?" Tim asked. + +Anna thought for a moment. She saw a big stick on the ground. She picked it up and urged Tim to follow her. + +"Maybe we can poke it with this stick," she said. + +They stood under the tree and tried to poke the aeroplane with the stick. But the stick was too short and they were too small. + +"It's not working," Tim said, feeling sad. + +Anna felt sad too. She loved her aeroplane and did not want to lose it. + +"Maybe we can ask for help," she said. + +She looked around and saw a man walking his dog. He was tall and had a hat. + +"Excuse me, sir," she said, waving her hand. "Can you please help us?" + +The man saw them and smiled. He came over and saw the aeroplane on the tree. + +"What happened?" he asked. + +"We were playing and the aeroplane got stuck," Anna said. + +"That's a shame," the man said. "But don't worry, I'll get it for you." + +He lifted his hat and put it on the ground. He took the stick from Anna and reached for the branch. He poked the aeroplane gently and it fell down. + +"Here you go," he said, handing it to Anna. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Anna said, hugging her aeroplane. + +"Thank you, sir!" Tim said, smiling. + +"You're welcome, kids," the man said, putting his hat back on. "Have fun and be careful." + +He waved and walked away with his dog. + +Tim and Anna waved back and thanked him again. They were happy to have the aeroplane back. They decided to play something else, something safer. They put their toys in their backpacks and ran to the swings. They had a lot of fun in the park. +Lila and Ben were at the park with Mom. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. Lila and Ben wanted to play in the water. They asked Mom if they could. + +"OK, but be careful. The water might be cold and wet. And don't go too close to the edge. You might fall in." Mom said. + +Lila and Ben nodded and ran to the fountain. They took off their shoes and socks and rolled up their pants. They felt the water with their toes. It was warm and nice. They smiled and laughed. + +They started to splash each other with the water. They made big waves with their hands and feet. They got wet and happy. They shouted and giggled. + +"Look, Mom, we are splashing!" Lila said. + +"I see you, Lila. You are having fun!" Mom said. + +"Can we stay here longer, Mom? Please?" Ben said. + +"Sure, Ben. But not too long. We have to go home soon. And we have to pay the price for playing in the water." Mom said. + +"What price, Mom?" Lila said. + +"You'll see, Lila. You'll see." Mom said. She smiled and winked. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a hose and a bucket. They want to fill the bucket with water and make a big splash. + +Anna holds the hose and turns on the tap. Water comes out of the hose. Ben holds the bucket and tries to catch the water. But the hose is too long and heavy. Anna cannot support the hose by herself. The hose moves and sprays water everywhere. + +"Help me, Ben!" Anna says. "The hose is too hard to hold!" + +Ben drops the bucket and runs to Anna. He tries to help her support the hose. But they are both too small and weak. The hose keeps moving and spraying water everywhere. + +They are both wet and frustrated. They cannot fill the bucket with water and make a big splash. + +"Let's stop, Anna," Ben says. "This is not fun." + +Anna nods. She turns off the tap. The water stops coming out of the hose. + +They drop the hose and the bucket. They go inside the house. They dry themselves with towels. They look for another game to play. They hope it will be more fun. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, Tom feels sick. He has a bad stomach. He does not want to play. He sits on a bench and holds his tummy. He says, "Ow, ow, ow. My stomach hurts. I want to go home." + +Lily sees Tom and feels sad. She does not like to see Tom sick. She wants to help him. She says, "Tom, I have an idea. I have a warm bottle in my bag. It is for my baby brother. He likes it when he has a bad stomach. Maybe you will like it too. Do you want to try?" + +Tom nods. He is willing to try anything. Lily gives him the warm bottle and puts it on his tummy. Tom feels the warmth and smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lily. This feels nice. It makes my stomach feel better. You are a good friend." + +Lily smiles too. She is happy to see Tom smile. She says, "You are welcome, Tom. I am glad you feel better. Maybe we can play again soon. But first, let's go home and tell our moms. They will take care of us and give us some soup." + +Tom and Lily hold hands and walk home. They have warm stomachs and warm hearts. They are good friends. +Tom and Anna like to go to the park with Mom. They play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they see a rat in the park. It is brown and furry and has a long tail. It runs fast and hides under a bench. Tom and Anna are curious and want to see it better. + +"Look, a rat!" Tom says. "Let's go closer!" + +"No, don't!" Mom says. "Rats can bite and make you sick. Stay away from it!" + +"But why?" Anna asks. "It looks cute and peaceful. Maybe it wants to play with us." + +Mom shakes her head. "No, it doesn't. Rats are not good friends for children. They are dirty and scared. They only come out when they are hungry or in danger. They don't like people or noise. They like dark and quiet places." + +Tom and Anna feel sad for the rat. They wonder what it does when it is not in the park. They wish they could help it find a better home. + +"Can we give it some food?" Tom asks. "Maybe it will like us then." + +Mom smiles. "That's very kind of you, but no. Rats can eat anything, even things that are bad for them. If we give them food, they will come back for more and bring their friends. Then there will be too many rats in the park and they will make a mess and scare the other animals. We have to let them be and hope they find a safer place to live." + +Tom and Anna nod. They understand that the rat is not a good friend for them, but they still feel sorry for it. They hope it is happy and peaceful in its own way. They wave goodbye to the rat and go back to their games. They have fun and laugh a lot. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big road with many cars and trucks. They wanted to cross the road and go to the park on the other side. + +"Let's go, Tom," Lily said. "The park looks fun." + +"No, Lily," Tom said. "The road is terrible. It is too fast and loud. We can get hurt. We have to wait for Mom or Dad." + +"But I want to go now," Lily said. "I believe we can do it. We just have to run very fast." + +Lily did not listen to Tom. She ran to the road and tried to cross it. But a car was coming very fast. It honked and screeched. Lily was scared and stopped in the middle of the road. + +"Help, Tom, help!" Lily cried. + +Tom was very brave. He ran to the road and grabbed Lily's hand. He pulled her to the other side. They were safe, but they were also very dirty and scared. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"I'm okay, Tom," Lily said. "But you were right. The road is terrible. I'm sorry I did not listen to you. You are a good brother." + +They hugged and waited for Mom or Dad to come. They learned a lesson. They never tried to cross the road without a grown-up again. +Lily likes to sing. She sings in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sings to her toys, to her mom, and to her dad. She sings happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. + +One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. She also sees a boy with a bag. The bag has a picture of a dog on it. Lily likes dogs. She goes to the boy and says, "Hi, I am Lily. What is your name?" + +The boy looks at Lily and smiles. He says, "Hi, I am Max. This is my bag. Do you like dogs?" + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, I like dogs. They are friendly and fun. Do you have a dog?" + +Max shakes his head and says, "No, I don't have a dog. But I wish I had one. I have this bag instead. It is my favorite bag. Do you want to see what is inside?" + +Lily says, "Yes, please. Can I see what is inside your bag?" + +Max opens his bag and shows Lily. Inside the bag, there are some books, some crayons, and a toy guitar. Lily gasps and says, "Wow, you have a toy guitar. That is so cool. Can you play it?" + +Max says, "Yes, I can play it. I like to play music. Do you like music?" + +Lily says, "Yes, I like music. I like to sing. Can we sing together?" + +Max says, "Yes, we can sing together. What song do you want to sing?" + +Lily thinks for a moment and says, "How about Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?" + +Max says, "OK, I know that song. Let's sing it." + +Lily and Max hold the toy guitar and start to sing. They sing loud and clear. They sing with joy and fun. They sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. They make a new friend. They are happy. +Tom likes to play basketball. He has a big orange ball and a hoop in his yard. He can bounce the ball and throw it in the hoop. He is very good at it. + +One day, Tom sees a new boy in the street. The boy has a bike and a helmet. He looks at Tom and his ball. Tom wants to make a new friend. He says, "Hi, I am Tom. Do you want to play basketball with me?" + +The boy smiles and says, "Hi, I am Sam. I like basketball too. But I don't have a ball. Can I use yours?" + +Tom nods and says, "Sure, you can use my ball. But you have to be careful. It is my favorite ball. Don't lose it or break it." + +Sam says, "OK, I will be careful. Thank you, Tom. You are very nice." + +Tom and Sam go to Tom's yard. They take turns to bounce the ball and throw it in the hoop. They have a lot of fun. They laugh and cheer. They are happy. + +After a while, Tom's mom calls him. She says, "Tom, it is time for lunch. Come inside and wash your hands." + +Tom says, "OK, mom. I am coming. Sam, do you want to come too? My mom can make you a sandwich." + +Sam says, "Thank you, Tom. But I have to go home. My mom is waiting for me. Maybe we can play again later." + +Tom says, "OK, bye, Sam. See you later." + +Tom and Sam give each other a high five. They are friends. They like to play basketball. They are open to share and care. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that they could ride in. They liked to pretend they were going on amazing adventures in the car, like exploring the jungle or flying to the moon. + +One day, they decided to play in the living room, where their mom was reading a book in a big armchair. They zoomed around the room, making loud noises and laughing. They bumped into the table, the sofa, and the lamp. Their mom looked up from her book and said, "Tom and Lily, please be careful. You might break something or hurt yourselves. Why don't you settle down and play quietly?" + +Tom and Lily did not want to settle down. They wanted to keep playing in the car. They said, "No, mom, we are having fun. We are going to the castle to meet the king and the queen. Can we go, please?" + +Their mom smiled and said, "Okay, you can go to the castle, but only if you promise to be gentle with the car and the furniture. And when you come back, you can sit with me in the armchair and tell me all about your adventure. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Lily agreed. They said, "Okay, mom, we promise. We will be back soon." They gave their mom a hug and a kiss, and then they got in the car and drove away. Their mom watched them go and shook her head. She loved her twins, even when they were noisy and messy. She went back to her book and waited for them to return. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then, Ben saw a shiny whistle on the shelf. He wanted to blow it and make a loud sound. + +He climbed on the couch and reached for the whistle. But he was too small and he slipped and fell. He hit his head on the floor and started to weep. Mia heard him and ran to him. + +"Ben, are you okay?" she asked. She saw a bump on his head and felt sorry for him. + +"I want the whistle, I want the whistle!" Ben cried. He pointed at the shelf. + +Mia looked at the whistle. She knew it was their dad's whistle. He used it to call their dog when they went to the park. She also wanted to try it, but she knew they were not allowed to touch it. + +"Ben, we can't have the whistle. It's dad's whistle. He will be angry if we take it. And you hurt yourself. Come on, let's play with something else." She tried to calm him down. + +But Ben did not listen. He kept weeping and reaching for the whistle. He did not care about the toys or Mia. He only wanted the whistle. + +Mia felt sad and angry. She did not like Ben being so selfish and naughty. She decided to leave him alone and go to her room. She took her favorite doll and her book and walked away. + +"Fine, be like that. I don't want to play with you anymore." She said. + +She went to her room and closed the door. She put her doll on the bed and opened her book. She liked her room. It was tidy and cozy. She felt happy and peaceful. + +She did not hear Ben anymore. She did not know if he stopped weeping or if he got the whistle. She did not care. She only cared about her doll and her book. She smiled and started to read. +Lily and Ben were going to the park with their mom. They liked the park because it had swings, slides and a big sandbox. They were very happy and excited. + +But on the way, they got stuck in a lot of traffic. There were many vehicles on the road, and they were not moving fast. Some of them honked their horns and made loud noises. Lily and Ben felt anxious. They did not like the noise and they wanted to get to the park soon. + +"Mom, why are we not moving?" Lily asked. + +"There is too much traffic, honey. We have to wait until it clears up," Mom said. + +"But I want to go to the park now!" Ben complained. + +"I know, sweetie, but we have to be patient. Sometimes things happen that we can't control. We will get there eventually," Mom said. + +She tried to distract them by playing games and singing songs, but Lily and Ben were still anxious and complained a lot. They did not have fun in the vehicle. + +Finally, after a long time, the traffic started to move again. Mom drove faster and soon they reached the park. Lily and Ben jumped out of the vehicle and ran to the playground. They forgot about their complaints and had a lot of fun. They swung, slid and played in the sandbox. They laughed and smiled. + +Mom watched them and felt happy. She was glad they made it to the park. She hoped they would not complain on the way back. +Tom and Mia like to play with their bikes. They have red bikes with big wheels and bells. They ride their bikes in the park, where there are many trees and flowers and birds. + +One day, it rains a lot. The park becomes wet and muddy. There are many puddles on the ground. Tom and Mia think puddles are fun. They want to splash in them with their bikes. + +"Look, Mia, a big puddle!" Tom says. He points to a puddle that is as big as a car. "Let's speed to it and make a big splash!" + +"OK, Tom, let's go!" Mia says. She follows Tom with her bike. They pedal fast and hard. They feel powerful and happy. + +They reach the puddle and go into it. The water splashes everywhere. They laugh and scream. They are wet and dirty, but they don't care. They think it is the best game ever. +Anna and Ben went to camp with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the tent, swim in the lake, and sing songs by the fire. But there was a boy at camp who was very rude. His name was Max and he always took their toys, said mean things, and made fun of them. + +One day, Anna and Ben found a magic wand in the woods. It was shiny and had a star on the end. They wondered what it could do. They decided to try it on Max, who was playing with their ball. + +"Give us back our ball, Max!" Anna said. + +"No, it's mine now. You are silly and boring." Max said. + +Ben pointed the wand at Max and said, "Disappear!" + +Suddenly, Max was gone. He was not in the camp, or in the woods, or in the lake. He was nowhere to be seen. + +"Wow, it worked!" Ben said. + +"Where did he go?" Anna said. + +They looked around, but they could not find Max. They felt a little scared, but also a little happy. They had their ball back, and they did not have to deal with Max anymore. + +But then they heard a voice. + +"Help! Help! I'm in the sky! Get me down!" It was Max. He had not disappeared. He had flown up in the air, and he was stuck. + +Anna and Ben looked up and saw Max. He was very high and very small. He looked scared and sad. + +"Please, help me! I'm sorry I was rude. Please, bring me back!" Max said. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for Max. They did not want him to be in the sky. They wanted him to be safe and nice. + +They pointed the wand at Max and said, "Come back!" + +Max came back. He fell on the ground, but he was not hurt. He was just dirty and wet. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Max said. "I'm sorry I was rude to you. Can we be friends?" + +Anna and Ben smiled. They said, "OK, we can be friends. But you have to be nice and share." + +Max nodded. He said, "I will, I promise. Can I play with your ball?" + +Anna and Ben said, "Yes, you can. But only if we can play with your wand." + +They gave Max their ball, and he gave them his wand. They played together, and they had fun. They learned to be kind and fair. They liked camp, and they liked each other. +Tom was a mighty lion. He liked to roar and run and play with his friends in the jungle. He had a big mane and sharp teeth and everyone was afraid of him. But at night, he was very quiet and gentle. He slept on a soft cushion that his mom made for him from leaves and feathers. + +One night, he heard a loud noise. It sounded like a big bird. He opened his eyes and saw a bright light in the sky. It was a star that was falling. He was curious and wanted to see it. He got up from his cushion and ran to the edge of the jungle. He saw the star land in a field. It was shiny and sparkly and made a funny sound. + +He went closer to the star. He wanted to touch it and play with it. But when he got near, he saw that it was not a star. It was a metal thing with wings and wheels and windows. And inside, there were people. They looked scared and hurt. They saw Tom and screamed. + +"Help! Help! A lion!" one of them shouted. + +Tom was surprised. He did not want to hurt them. He wanted to help them. He roared softly and wagged his tail. He tried to tell them that he was friendly and that he could take them to his mom. She knew how to heal wounds and make tea. + +But the people did not understand him. They thought he was angry and hungry. They threw things at him and tried to run away. Tom was sad and confused. He did not know what to do. He wished they could talk to him and be his friends. + +He decided to leave them alone and go back to his cushion. He hoped they would be okay. He lay down and closed his eyes. He dreamed of a star that was warm and soft and spoke his language. He smiled and snuggled with his cushion. He was a mighty lion, but he was also a kind lion. +Anna and Ben went to a pizza place with Mom and Dad. They sat at a big table and looked at the menu. The menu had pictures of different pizzas and other foods. Anna liked cheese pizza and Ben liked pepperoni pizza. + +"Can we have pizza, please?" Anna asked Mom. + +"Sure, honey. What do you want on your pizza?" Mom asked. + +"Just cheese, please. And some juice," Anna said. + +"I want pepperoni and cheese. And milk," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and told the waiter what they wanted. The waiter was kind and gave them crayons and paper to draw on. Anna and Ben drew pictures of their pizza and their family. + +Soon, the pizza came. It smelled good and looked yummy. Mom cut the pizza into slices with a sharp knife. She gave Anna and Ben each a slice on a small plate. + +"Be careful, the pizza is hot. And don't touch the knife, it's sharp. It can hurt you," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. Thank you for the pizza," Anna and Ben said. + +They ate their pizza and drank their juice and milk. They liked the pizza place. It was fun and tasty. They gave Mom and Dad a big hug and said they were happy. Mom and Dad hugged them back and said they were proud of them. They paid the bill and left a tip for the kind waiter. They went home with full bellies and happy hearts. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a pond with some ducks and fish. They wanted to feed them some bread. + +They walked to the pond and threw some bread in the water. The ducks and fish came to eat. Lily and Ben smiled and clapped. They saw something else in the water. It was big and green and had many teeth. It was a crocodile! + +The crocodile saw the bread and the children. It was hungry and wanted to eat them. It swam fast to the shore and opened its mouth. Lily and Ben were scared and screamed. + +"Help! Help! A crocodile!" they shouted. + +A man heard them and ran to the pond. He had a stick and a rope. He threw the rope around the crocodile's mouth and pulled hard. He twisted the rope and tied it. The crocodile could not bite anymore. + +"Are you okay, children?" the man asked. + +"Yes, thank you, mister!" Lily and Ben said. + +"You are brave, but you should be careful. This is a dangerous animal. It escaped from the zoo. I will call the zookeepers to take it back." the man said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and hugged each other. They were happy and safe. They looked at the crocodile. It was still big and green, but it looked small and sad. They felt sorry for it. + +"Bye, crocodile. We hope you find a nice home." they said. +Anna liked to polish her shoes every morning. She had a special cloth and a small tin of polish that her grandma gave her. Grandma said polishing shoes was a good way to keep them shiny and clean, and to remember her. + +Anna missed her grandma a lot. She had gone to sleep and never woke up. Anna was sad and shy. She did not like to talk to anyone about her grandma. She only liked to polish her shoes and look at the pictures of her grandma in her room. + +One day, a new girl came to Anna's preschool. Her name was Mia. She had curly hair and big eyes. She sat next to Anna and smiled. "Hi, I'm Mia. What's your name?" she asked. + +Anna did not answer. She looked down at her shoes and rubbed them with her cloth. + +Mia did not give up. She leaned closer and whispered. "I like your shoes. They are very shiny. Do you polish them?" + +Anna nodded. She felt a little warm in her face. + +"I have a secret," Mia said. "Do you want to hear it?" + +Anna looked up. She was curious. + +Mia smiled and said. "I polish my teeth every night. I have a special brush and a small tube of paste that my mom gave me. Mom said polishing teeth is a good way to keep them white and healthy, and to remember her." + +Anna gasped. She felt a connection with Mia. She had a secret too. + +"I polish my shoes every morning," she said. "I have a special cloth and a small tin of polish that my grandma gave me. Grandma said polishing shoes is a good way to keep them shiny and clean, and to remember her." + +Mia hugged Anna. "We have something in common," she said. "We both polish and we both remember. We can be friends." + +Anna smiled. She felt happy and less shy. She had made a new friend and shared a memory. She hugged Mia back and said. "Yes, we can be friends." +Sara and Tom like to cook with Mom. Today, they are making a cake for Dad. He is coming home soon. He won a big trophy at work. Sara and Tom want to make him happy. + +Mom gives Sara and Tom a big bowl and a spoon. She says, "Put the flour, the sugar, the eggs and the milk in the bowl. Then stir them well." Sara and Tom take turns to put the things in the bowl. They stir and stir. The cake mix is thick and sticky. + +Mom says, "Good job! Now we need to put the cake mix in the pan and bake it in the oven." She helps Sara and Tom pour the cake mix in the pan. She puts the pan in the oven. She says, "We have to wait for 20 minutes. Then the cake will be ready." + +Sara and Tom are excited. They want to see the cake. They want to eat the cake. They want to give the cake to Dad. They go to the living room and play with their toys. They hear a beep. Mom says, "The cake is done! Let's take it out of the oven." + +Sara and Tom run to the kitchen. They see the cake. It is big and brown and smells good. Mom says, "Be careful, it is hot. We have to let it cool down. Then we can decorate it with frosting and sprinkles." She puts the cake on a rack. + +Sara and Tom wait for the cake to cool down. They hear a knock. It is Dad. He is home. He has a big trophy in his hand. He says, "Hello, my loves. I have a surprise for you. I won a big trophy at work. Look how shiny it is." + +Sara and Tom hug Dad. They say, "We have a surprise for you too. We made a cake for you. Look how yummy it is." They show Dad the cake. He says, "Wow, you made a cake for me? That is so sweet of you. Thank you, my loves. You are my best trophies." + +Dad, Mom, Sara and Tom cut the cake. They eat the cake. It is delicious. They are happy. They laugh and talk. Sara and Tom give Dad a tight hug. They say, "We love you, Dad. You are the best." Dad says, "I love you too, my loves. You are the best." They are a happy family. +Tom and Lily wanted to play with their new puzzle. It had many pieces and a picture of a farm. They opened the box and put the pieces on the floor. + +"Let's complete the puzzle together," Tom said. + +"OK, I will find the corners and the edges," Lily said. + +They worked hard and had fun. They found the pieces that matched and fit them together. They made the farm with the animals and the trees. + +"Look, we did it!" Tom said. "We completed the puzzle!" + +They were very happy and proud. They showed their puzzle to their mom. + +"Wow, you did a great job!" Mom said. "Do you want to go to the store with me?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said. + +They put their puzzle back in the box and got ready to go. They put on their shoes and coats and followed Mom to the car. + +They drove to the store. It was not far. When they got there, they saw that the store was empty. + +"Where are all the people?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe they are at home or at another store," Mom said. + +"Can we still buy something?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, we can. Let's see what they have," Mom said. + +They went inside the store. It was quiet and dark. They saw some toys and books and snacks. They picked what they liked and went to the cashier. + +"Hello, we want to buy these things," Mom said. + +The cashier smiled and scanned their items. He gave them a bag and a receipt. + +"Thank you for coming to the store. Have a nice day," he said. + +"Thank you, you too," Mom said. + +They went back to the car and drove home. They were happy with their new things and their puzzle. They had a good day. +Ben and his dog Spot like to play in the park. Spot is a big, brown dog with a red collar. Ben is a small, blond boy with a blue hat. They run and jump and chase each other on the grass. + +One day, they see a lot of people and dogs in the park. They are having a dog show. Ben and Spot go to watch. They see dogs that can do tricks, like sit, roll, and shake. They see dogs that are fluffy, or spotty, or tiny, or huge. They see dogs that wear ribbons, or bows, or hats, or coats. + +"Wow, Spot, look at all the dogs!" Ben says. "They are so pretty and smart. Do you want to join the show?" + +Spot wags his tail and barks. He likes to have fun. He does not care about ribbons or coats. He only cares about Ben. + +Ben and Spot go to the sign-up table. A lady with a clipboard smiles at them. + +"Hello, what is your name and your dog's name?" she asks. + +"I am Ben and this is Spot," Ben says. + +"What a cute dog! What can he do?" she asks. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He knows Spot can do many things, but not the things the other dogs can do. + +"He can gather sticks," Ben says. + +The lady looks surprised. She writes down their names and gives them a number. + +"Okay, you are number seven. Good luck!" she says. + +Ben and Spot go to the show area. They wait for their turn. They see the other dogs do their tricks. The people clap and cheer. Ben feels nervous. He wonders if Spot can do anything to impress them. + +Finally, it is their turn. Ben and Spot walk to the center of the show area. The lady with the clipboard announces their names. + +"Next, we have Ben and Spot. They will show us how they can gather sticks. Let's give them a big hand!" + +The people clap politely. Ben sees a pile of sticks on the side. He picks one and throws it as far as he can. + +"Go, Spot, go!" he shouts. + +Spot runs after the stick. He catches it in his mouth. He runs back to Ben. He drops the stick at his feet. He wags his tail and barks. + +"Good boy, Spot!" Ben says. He picks another stick and throws it. + +Spot runs after it. He catches it in his mouth. He runs back to Ben. He drops it next to the first stick. He wags his tail and barks. + +Ben and Spot repeat this until they have gathered all the sticks. They make a big pile of sticks in front of them. Ben hugs Spot and says, "You are the best dog ever, Spot!" + +The people are amazed. They clap and cheer louder than before. They think Ben and Spot are very clever and funny. They like how they work together and have fun. + +The lady with the clipboard comes to them. She has a big smile on her face. + +"Ben and Spot, you are the winners of the dog show! You have shown us the most original and creative trick. You have also shown us the most love and joy. You are very lucky to have each other. Here is your prize: a shiny gold medal for Spot and a big bag of treats for both of you. Congratulations!" + +Ben and Spot are very happy. They thank the lady and the people. They put the medal on Spot's collar. They share the treats. They feel proud and grateful. + +They go home with their prize. They tell their mom and dad about their adventure. They cuddle on the couch. They are the best friends in the world. They are very lucky. +Tom and Lily like to play soccer with their friends. They are good players and have fun. One day, it is very hot and sunny. They feel thirsty and tired. + +"Let's go to the park and drink some water," Tom says. + +"OK, and we can play on the slide and the swings too," Lily says. + +They run to the park and find a fountain. They drink some water and feel better. Then they see a big puddle near the fountain. It looks cool and wet. + +"Let's splash in the puddle," Tom says. + +"Yay, that sounds fun," Lily says. + +They take off their shoes and socks and run to the puddle. They jump and kick and laugh. The water splashes on their legs and faces. They soak their clothes and hair. They don't care. They are happy. + +"Look, we are like fish," Tom says. + +"No, we are like ducks," Lily says. + +They quack and swim in the puddle. They see a man walking by with a dog. The dog barks and runs to the puddle. He joins them and splashes too. He licks their faces and wags his tail. He is a sweet dog. + +"Hello, doggy," Tom says. + +"Hello, kids," the man says. "You look like you are having fun." + +"We are," Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The man smiles and says, "No, thank you. I have to go home and change. You are very wet." + +He takes his dog and leaves. Tom and Lily wave goodbye. They play some more in the puddle. Then they hear their mom calling them. + +"Tom, Lily, it's time to go home," she says. + +They run to their mom and hug her. She gasps and says, "Oh, my, you are soaked. What have you been doing?" + +"We were playing soccer and then we played in the puddle with a dog," Tom says. + +"It was fun," Lily says. + +Their mom shakes her head and says, "Well, I'm glad you had fun, but now you need a bath and some dry clothes. Come on, let's go." + +She takes them home and gives them a bath and some dry clothes. She also gives them some cookies and milk. They are sweet and yummy. Tom and Lily thank their mom and say, "We love you, mom." + +They love their mom and their mom loves them. They are happy. They had a good day. +Lily liked to drink milk from her pink mug. She had it since she was a baby. It had a picture of a bunny on it. One day, she dropped her mug on the floor. It broke into many pieces. Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. + +"Mommy, mommy, my mug is broken!" she sobbed. + +Mommy came and hugged Lily. She saw the broken mug on the floor. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. It was an accident. Don't cry. Maybe we can repair it." + +Mommy got some glue and a cloth. She picked up the pieces of the mug and put them on the table. She said, "Lily, can you help me? We have to be very careful and slow. We have to put the pieces back together like a puzzle." + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She helped Mommy find the pieces that matched. Mommy put glue on them and pressed them together. They worked for a long time. They repaired the mug. It looked almost like before. Lily smiled. + +"Thank you, Mommy. You are the best. Can I drink milk from my mug now?" she asked. + +Mommy smiled too. She said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a good helper. Yes, you can drink milk from your mug. But be careful not to drop it again. It might break again." + +Lily hugged Mommy and said, "I love you, Mommy. I love my mug too. I will be careful." + +They went to the kitchen and poured some milk into the mug. Lily drank it happily. She felt better. She said, "Milk is yummy. And my mug is pretty. And Mommy is nice." + +The end. +Anna liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a big spider on a web. She wanted to say hello to the spider. + +She walked to the web and said, "Hello, spider. You are very pretty. Can I be your friend?" The spider did not say anything. It just moved its legs. + +Anna reached out her hand to touch the spider. But she did not see a rock on the ground. She stumbled and fell. She hurt her knee and started to cry. + +The spider heard Anna cry. It felt sorry for her. It was an intelligent spider. It knew that Anna did not want to hurt it. It wanted to help her. + +It crawled down from the web and went to Anna. It spun some silk and wrapped it around her knee. It made a soft bandage for her. Then it said, "Hello, Anna. I am sorry you fell. You are very brave. Can I be your friend?" + +Anna stopped crying. She looked at the spider. She saw that it was very kind. She smiled and said, "Thank you, spider. You are very clever. Yes, you can be my friend." + +Anna and the spider became friends. They played in the garden every day. They learned from each other. They were happy. +Sam and Mia liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made roads and bridges with blocks and books. They zoomed and honked and crashed their cars. + +One day, they found a new toy in their room. It was a big truck with a cabin and a trailer. It had buttons and lights and sounds. Sam and Mia were very happy. They wanted to try the new toy. + +They put some of their cars in the trailer and pushed the truck along the road. They pressed the buttons and heard the engine and the horn. They saw the lights flash and blink. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Mia pressed a button that said "reverse". The truck started to move backwards. It bumped into a book and knocked it over. The book hit a block and made it fall. The block hit another block and made it fall too. Soon, the whole road and bridge collapsed. The cars in the trailer rolled out and scattered. + +Sam and Mia were very upset. They liked their road and bridge. They worked hard to make them. They did not like the mess. They did not like the truck anymore. + +They looked at each other and said, "We don't want this truck. We want our cars. Let's put the truck away and fix our road and bridge." + +They picked up the truck and put it in a corner. They gathered their cars and blocks and books. They started to rebuild their road and bridge. They smiled and hugged and said, "We like our cars. We like to play together." +Tom and Mia like to paint. They have many colors and brushes. They paint on paper, on cardboard, on rocks, and sometimes on the wall. Mom and Dad do not like when they paint on the wall. They say it is a mess and a threat to the paint. + +One day, Tom and Mia find a big can of paint in the garage. It is red, like fire. They think it is a good color to paint with. They take the can and a brush and go to the backyard. They see a big fence. They think it is a good place to paint. + +They start to paint on the fence. They make circles, stars, flowers, and faces. They have fun. They do not hear Mom and Dad coming home. They do not see them until they are very close. + +"Tom! Mia! What are you doing?" Mom shouts. She is angry. She sees the red paint on the fence. She sees the can and the brush. She sees the mess. + +"We are painting, Mom. Do you like it?" Tom says. He is proud of his work. He thinks Mom will like it too. + +"No, I do not like it. You are not allowed to paint on the fence. It is not yours. It is the neighbor's. You have made a big problem. The neighbor will be very mad. He will want us to pay for a new fence. He is strong and scary. He can be a threat to us. You have to stop painting right now. And you have to say sorry to the neighbor. And you have to help me clean the fence. Do you understand?" Mom says. She is very serious. + +Tom and Mia look at each other. They are scared. They did not know the fence was not theirs. They did not know the neighbor was strong and scary. They did not know they made a big problem. They feel bad. + +"Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will stop painting. We will say sorry to the neighbor. We will help you clean the fence." They say. They put down the can and the brush. They follow Mom to the neighbor's door. They hope he will not be too mad. They hope he will forgive them. They hope they can still paint, but only on paper, on cardboard, on rocks, and sometimes on the wall. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. They saw many other kids and moms and dads. They were having fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck with a red light and a siren. It stopped near the park. Some men and women came out of the truck. They wore white clothes and masks. They had a big bed with wheels. They went to a house where a lady was lying on the floor. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what was happening. They ran to their mom and hugged her. Their mom said, "Don't worry, my loves. The men and women are helpers. They are here to help the lady. She is sick and needs to go to the hospital. The masks are to keep them and the lady safe from germs. They are very brave." + +Lily and Ben looked at the helpers. They saw them lift the lady on the bed and put her in the truck. They saw them talk to the lady and give her a hug. They saw them drive away with the siren. + +Lily and Ben felt a little better. They said, "Thank you, mom. We understand now. The helpers are good and kind. We hope the lady will be okay." + +Their mom said, "You're welcome, my loves. You are very smart and brave too. You did not cry or run away. You remained calm and listened to me. I'm proud of you." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They gave their mom a kiss. They said, "We love you, mom. Can we play some more?" + +Their mom said, "Of course, my loves. Let's play some more. But remember to stay close to me and wear your masks too. They are also to keep us safe from germs." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They put on their masks and ran to the swings. They were happy again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big slide. Lily wanted to go on the slide, but Tom was scared. He said, "The slide is too high. I might fall." + +Lily said, "Don't be scared, Tom. I will help you. We can use this rope to hold on." She found a rope on the ground and tied it to the slide. She gave one end to Tom and kept the other end. + +They climbed up the slide together, holding the rope. Tom felt safer with the rope and Lily. When they reached the top, they looked down. They saw their mom and dad smiling at them. They also saw a cute dog running around. + +Lily said, "Are you ready, Tom? Let's slide down together. It will be fun." Tom nodded. He was still a little scared, but he trusted Lily. They let go of the rope and slid down the slide. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and shouted. + +They reached the bottom and jumped off the slide. They hugged each other and said, "We did it! We succeeded!" Their mom and dad clapped and cheered. The cute dog came and licked their faces. They petted the dog and thanked him. They were very happy. They decided to go on the slide again. +Lily and Tom were playing with their blocks. They liked to make towers and houses and cars with their blocks. Sometimes they made funny noises and pretended their blocks were talking. + +"Look, Lily, I made a car!" Tom said, showing his block car to his sister. + +"That's nice, Tom. But I made something better!" Lily said, smiling. She had made a face with her blocks. She used two round blocks for the eyes, a long block for the nose, and a curved block for the mouth. + +"Wow, Lily, that's a good face!" Tom said, admiring her block face. "But it's too small. I can make a bigger face!" + +Tom started to pile up more blocks. He used four round blocks for the eyes, two long blocks for the nose, and a big block for the mouth. He made an enormous face with his blocks. It was bigger than his head. + +"Look, Lily, I made an enormous face!" Tom said, proud of his block face. "It's bigger than yours!" + +Lily looked at Tom's enormous face. She thought it was too big and scary. She did not like it. She made a sad face. + +"Tom, I don't like your enormous face. It's too big and scary. It makes me feel bad." Lily said, frowning. + +Tom saw Lily's sad face. He felt sorry. He did not want to make his sister feel bad. He wanted to make her happy. He had an idea. + +"Sorry, Lily. I did not mean to make you feel bad. I have an idea. Let's make a happy face together!" Tom said, smiling. + +He took some of his blocks and gave them to Lily. They worked together to make a happy face with their blocks. They used two round blocks for the eyes, a long block for the nose, and a curved block for the mouth. They made a happy face with their blocks. It was not too big or too small. It was just right. + +"Look, Lily, we made a happy face!" Tom said, happy. + +"Yay, we made a happy face!" Lily said, happy. + +They hugged each other and laughed. They liked their happy face. They liked to play with their blocks. They liked to make things together. They were happy. +Lily was a little penguin who lived in a big ice land. She liked to swim and play with her friends, but she was troubled by something. She wanted to fly like the birds she saw in the sky. + +One day, she saw a big hill of snow. She thought, maybe if I slide down fast enough, I can rise in the air and fly. She ran to the top of the hill and got ready to slide. + +"Wait, Lily, what are you doing?" her friend Ben asked. He was a seal who liked to slide too, but he knew that penguins could not fly. + +"I want to fly, Ben. I want to see the clouds and the sun and the stars. Don't you?" Lily said. + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, I don't. I like to swim and play with you and our friends. Flying is not for penguins. You could get hurt or lost or cold. Please, don't do it." + +But Lily did not listen. She slid down the hill as fast as she could, hoping to rise in the air. But she did not. She only fell down and landed on the hard ice. She felt a pain in her wing and a tear in her eye. + +Ben ran to her and helped her up. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I know you wanted to fly, but you are a penguin. Penguins are amazing in their own way. You can swim and dive and slide and dance. You can make friends and have fun and be happy. You don't need to fly to be special. You are special just the way you are." + +Lily looked at Ben and smiled. She realized he was right. She did not need to fly to be happy. She had everything she needed right here. She thanked Ben for being her friend and said, "You are special too, Ben. You are the best seal I know. Come on, let's go swim and play with our friends." + +They walked to the water and joined their friends. They swam and played and had fun. Lily forgot about flying and enjoyed being a penguin. She was not troubled anymore. She was happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play hide and seek. One morning, they wake up early and decide to play in their room. Anna says, "I will hide and you will seek. Count to ten and then come find me." Ben nods and closes his eyes. He counts slowly, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!" + +Ben looks around the room. He sees Anna's bed, her toys, her books, and her closet. He thinks, "Where is Anna? Maybe she is under the bed." He bends down and looks under the bed. He sees a teddy bear, a ball, and a sock, but no Anna. He says, "Anna, are you under the bed?" He hears no answer. He thinks, "Maybe she is behind the toys." He walks to the toy box and moves some toys aside. He sees a doll, a car, and a puzzle, but no Anna. He says, "Anna, are you behind the toys?" He hears no answer. He thinks, "Maybe she is in the closet." He walks to the closet and opens the door. He sees some clothes, some shoes, and some boxes, but no Anna. He says, "Anna, are you in the closet?" He hears a giggle. + +Anna is hidden in a big box in the closet. She has made a hole in the box and peeked out. She sees Ben looking for her. She thinks, "Ben is a good seeker, but I am a better hider. He will not find me." She giggles again. Ben hears the giggle and turns around. He sees the box and the hole. He thinks, "I found you, Anna!" He runs to the box and opens it. He sees Anna smiling. He says, "I found you, Anna! You are a good hider, but I am a better seeker. You can't fool me." Anna says, "You are a good seeker, Ben. But I can still fool you. Watch this!" She jumps out of the box and runs to the door. She says, "Now you hide and I will seek. Count to ten and then I will come find you." Ben laughs and says, "OK, Anna. Let's play again." He closes his eyes and starts to count. Anna runs out of the room and looks for a new hiding spot. They play hide and seek until their mom calls them for breakfast. They have fun in the morning. +Anna liked to play with her dolls in the living room. She had a big box of dolls and clothes and shoes. She liked to dress them up and make them talk. Sometimes she put them on the armchair and pretended it was a castle. + +One day, her brother Tom came into the living room. He was older than Anna and he liked to play with cars and trucks. He saw Anna's dolls on the armchair and he wanted to play with them. He said, "Anna, can I have your dolls? They look fun." + +Anna did not want to share her dolls. She said, "No, Tom, these are my dolls. You have your cars and trucks. Go play with them." + +Tom did not listen to Anna. He tried to grab the dolls from the armchair. But the armchair was heavy and it did not move. Tom pulled harder and harder, but the armchair did not budge. He got angry and he shouted, "Let go of the dolls, Anna! They are mine!" + +Anna got scared and she shouted back, "No, Tom, they are mine! You are mean and rude!" + +They both pulled and pulled, but the armchair was too heavy for them. They could not gain the dolls. They made a lot of noise and they woke up their mom. She came into the living room and she saw them fighting. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you! You are making a mess and you are hurting each other. You need to share and be nice. Tom, you can play with one doll if you ask Anna nicely. Anna, you can let Tom play with one doll if you are kind. And you both need to be careful with the armchair. It is old and it can break." + +Tom and Anna felt sorry and they said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Anna. Sorry, Tom." They hugged each other and they chose one doll each. They played together on the floor and they left the armchair alone. They learned to share and be nice. And they had fun. +Tom was a prince who liked to sail. He had a big boat with a light flag. He sailed on the blue water with his friends. They saw many fish and birds and waves. + +One day, Tom saw a new land. It had green trees and yellow flowers. He wanted to go there and play. He told his friends, "Let's sail to the new land and see what is there. Maybe we can find some fun things." + +His friends agreed and they sailed to the new land. They tied their boat to a rock and jumped off. They ran on the sand and laughed. They picked some flowers and made crowns. They climbed some trees and ate some fruit. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they heard a loud roar. It came from a big cave. They saw a dark shadow. It was a dragon. The dragon was angry. It did not like visitors. It breathed fire and smoke. It said, "Go away from my land. This is my home. You are not welcome here." + +Tom and his friends were scared. They ran back to their boat. They untied it and sailed away. They said, "Sorry, dragon. We did not mean to bother you. We just wanted to play. We will not come back." + +They sailed back to their own land. They were happy to be safe. They told their parents about their adventure. They said, "We saw a new land and a dragon. It was scary and exciting. But we are glad to be home. We love our land and our boat." +Tom and Mia are kids who like to play outside. They have a huge yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. One day, they decide to build a big castle with sand and sticks. They work hard and have fun. + +"Look at our castle, Mia! It is so huge and strong!" Tom says. + +"Yes, it is, Tom! We are the best builders!" Mia says. + +They are very happy with their castle. They go inside to get some juice and cookies. They forget to close the gate. + +A big dog sees the open gate. He runs into the yard. He smells the sand and the sticks. He thinks they are toys. He starts to dig and chew and knock down the castle. + +Tom and Mia come back outside. They see the big dog and their ruined castle. They are very sad and angry. + +"Hey, dog! Go away! You are bad! You broke our castle!" Tom shouts. + +"Shoo, shoo! Leave us alone! You are mean! You made a mess!" Mia cries. + +The big dog does not listen. He wags his tail and barks. He thinks they want to play. He jumps and runs around them. + +Tom and Mia do not know what to do. They wish they did not forget to close the gate. They wish they could save their castle. They wish the big dog would go away. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Anna has a big plane. It can fly in the air. Ben has a small car. It can drive on the ground. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big hill. Anna says, "Let's go up the hill and fly my plane!" Ben says, "OK, that sounds fun!" + +They run up the hill with their toys. Anna throws her plane in the air. It flies high and far. Ben watches and claps. He says, "Wow, your plane is so cool!" + +Anna smiles and says, "Thank you, Ben. Do you want to try it?" She offers her plane to Ben. Ben looks at the plane. He wants to fly it, but he is shy. He says, "No, thank you, Anna. I don't know how to fly it. I might break it." + +Anna says, "Don't worry, Ben. I can show you how to fly it. It is easy and fun. You just need to hold it like this and throw it like that. Come on, it is your turn!" + +Ben looks at Anna. He sees that she is kind and friendly. He decides to be brave. He says, "OK, Anna.

She was heartbroken and felt so dirty for not taking better care of him. From that day on, Lily never forgot to be extra careful with her pets. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to ride the bus with her mommy to go to the park. One day, Lily's mommy said she had to go to work and couldn't take her to the park. Lily was sad and scared to ride the bus alone, but her mommy told her to trust herself and be brave. + +Lily got on the bus and sat down next to a nice lady. The lady smiled at her and asked if she was okay. Lily nodded and felt proud of herself for being brave. When the bus arrived at the park, Lily got off and played with her friends. + +After a fun day at the park, Lily waited for the bus to take her home. She saw the same nice lady from earlier and felt happy to have made a new friend. Lily knew she could trust herself to ride the bus alone and felt proud of her bravery. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to feed the ducks at the park. Every day, she would bring some bread to share with them. The ducks were always happy to see her and would quack with joy. + +One day, Lily's mom told her they only had a minute to get to the store before it closed. Lily was sad because she wanted to feed the ducks. But her mom promised they would come back tomorrow. + +At the store, Lily's mom bought some mild cheese for their sandwiches. Lily thought it tasted yummy and asked for more. Her mom smiled and said they could have some more tomorrow after they fed the ducks. Lily was happy again and couldn't wait for tomorrow to come. +Anna and Ben were playing in the backyard after dinner. They liked to pretend they were explorers in the dark. They had a flashlight to see the way. + +"Look, Anna, a big rock!" Ben said, pointing with the flashlight. "Maybe there is a treasure under it." + +"Let's dig, Ben!" Anna said, excited. They used their hands and sticks to move the dirt and sand. + +They dug and dug, but they did not find any treasure. They only found some worms and stones. They were tired and dirty. + +"Maybe we should rest, Ben," Anna said, yawning. "It's getting late and Mom will call us soon." + +"OK, Anna," Ben said, nodding. "Let's rest here, on the grass. It's soft and warm." + +They lay down on the grass, next to the rock. They covered themselves with a blanket they had brought. They held the flashlight in the middle. + +"Good night, Anna," Ben said, closing his eyes. + +"Good night, Ben," Anna said, smiling. + +They fell asleep, holding the flashlight. They dreamed of finding treasure and having adventures. They were happy. +Tom had a big owl. He liked his owl a lot. His owl was mighty. He could fly high and see far. He could catch mice and rats. He could make loud noises at night. + +But Tom's dad said they had to sell the owl. He said they needed money for food and clothes. He said the owl was too big and too loud for their small house. He said someone else would take good care of the owl. + +Tom was very sad. He did not want to sell his owl. He wanted to keep his owl. He hugged his owl and said goodbye. He cried a lot. + +A man came to buy the owl. He gave Tom's dad some money. He put the owl in a cage. He said he had a farm with many animals. He said he would let the owl fly free sometimes. He said he would feed the owl well. + +Tom hoped the man was nice. He hoped the owl would be happy. He waved to the owl as the man took him away. He missed his owl a lot. He wished he could see his owl again. +One day, a big lion was very grumpy. He did not like the other animals in the jungle. He wanted to be alone and sleep. But the monkeys were loud and the birds were noisy. They made the lion angry. + +The lion had an idea. He made a trap with some vines and a big hole. He put some fruit in the hole. He hoped the monkeys and the birds would see the fruit and fall into the hole. Then he could have some peace and quiet. + +The monkeys and the birds saw the fruit. They were hungry and curious. They went to the hole. But they were not silly. They saw the vines and the trap. They did not go near the fruit. They laughed at the lion and his trap. + +The lion heard the laughter. He was very grumpy. He came out of his hiding place and roared. He wanted to scare the monkeys and the birds. But they were not scared. They roared back at the lion and made fun of him. + +The lion felt sad and silly. He realized his trap was not a good idea. He said sorry to the monkeys and the birds. He asked them to be his friends. They said yes and gave him some fruit. The lion was not grumpy anymore. He was happy and friendly. He learned to share and play with the other animals in the jungle. +Tim and Mia like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build towers, bridges, houses and more. Sometimes they attach blocks together with tape or glue. They think it is fun to make big and strong things. + +One day, Tim and Mia find a box of stickers in their room. The stickers have symbols on them, like stars, hearts, circles and squares. They are shiny and pretty. Tim and Mia want to use the stickers to decorate their blocks. They think it will make their blocks look more special. + +They start to stick the stickers on the blocks. They match the colors and shapes. They make patterns and designs. They talk to each other and say things like: + +"Look, I made a star tower!" + +"Wow, that is nice! I made a heart bridge!" + +"Can I have some circle stickers, please?" + +"Sure, here you go!" + +They have a lot of fun with the stickers and the blocks. They make many different things. They are proud of their work. + +But then, they notice something. The blocks with stickers are heavier than the blocks without stickers. They are harder to lift and move. They are also more sticky and messy. They stick to their fingers and clothes. They leave marks on the floor and the table. + +Tim and Mia are not happy. They do not like the heavy and sticky blocks. They want to take off the stickers. But the stickers are hard to take off. They tear and rip. They leave glue and paper on the blocks. They make the blocks look ugly and dirty. + +Tim and Mia are sad. They wish they did not use the stickers. They wish they left the blocks as they were. They say to each other: + +"I do not like the stickers. They are bad." + +"Me neither. They are not fun. They are trouble." + +"Can we fix the blocks? Can we make them clean again?" + +"I do not know. Maybe we can ask mom or dad for help." + +They decide to ask their parents for help. They hope their parents can help them remove the stickers and clean the blocks. They hope they can play with their blocks again. They learn a lesson. They learn that sometimes, less is more. They learn that stickers are not good for blocks. They learn to be careful with what they attach. +Anna and Ben were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They were wealthy, which means they had a lot of things and money. They also had a guard, who was a big man with a uniform and a gun. He watched the gate and kept them safe from bad people. + +One day, Anna and Ben wanted to play outside, but their mom said no. She said it was too hot and they might get sick. She told them to seat on the couch and watch a movie. Anna and Ben were bored and unhappy. They did not like movies. They liked to run and jump and explore. + +They decided to sneak out of the house when their mom was not looking. They put on their hats and sunglasses and ran to the gate. The guard was busy talking on his phone and did not see them. They opened the gate and ran outside. + +They saw a lot of things they had never seen before. They saw cars and buses and bikes and people. They saw shops and parks and flowers and animals. They were amazed and excited. They wanted to see more. + +They crossed the street and went to a playground. They saw other kids playing on the swings and slides and seesaws. They wanted to join them and make friends. They ran to the playground and said hello. + +"Hi, I'm Anna and this is Ben. We are twins. Can we play with you?" Anna asked a girl with a red dress. + +"Sure, I'm Lily and this is Tom. We are friends. Do you live nearby?" Lily asked. + +"No, we live in a big house with a guard. We are wealthy," Ben said proudly. + +Lily and Tom looked at them with surprise and envy. They did not live in a big house. They lived in a small apartment with their grandma. They did not have a guard. They had to be careful of bad people. They were not wealthy. They had few things and little money. + +"Wow, you are lucky. You have everything you want," Lily said. + +"Not really. We are bored and unhappy. We don't like movies. We like to play outside," Anna said. + +"Then why don't you play outside more often?" Tom asked. + +"Because our mom says no. She says it's too hot and we might get sick. She doesn't let us have fun," Ben said. + +"That's too bad. You should have fun. Playing outside is good for you. It makes you happy and healthy," Tom said. + +"I know. That's why we sneaked out of the house. We wanted to see the world and make friends," Anna said. + +"But what if your mom finds out? What if your guard catches you? What if you get in trouble?" Lily asked. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other with fear. They had not thought of that. They had been too busy having fun. They realized they had made a mistake. They had disobeyed their mom and lied to their guard. They had put themselves in danger. They felt sorry and scared. + +"Maybe we should go back. Maybe we should say sorry. Maybe we should listen to our mom and guard. They love us and want us to be safe," Anna said. + +"Maybe you're right. Maybe we should go back. Maybe we should be good. Maybe we can play outside another day. With your mom's and guard's permission," Ben said. + +They said goodbye to Lily and Tom and thanked them for playing with them. They ran back to the gate and hoped their mom and guard would not be angry with them. They learned a lesson. They learned that being wealthy is not enough to be happy. They learned that being obedient and honest is important to be safe. They learned that being curious and adventurous is good, but only with care and respect. +Lily was a blue bird who lived in a cage. She liked to sing and play with her toys, but she was not happy. She wanted to fly in the sky and see new things. She always asked her owner, Tom, to let her out of the cage, but he said no. + +One day, Tom went out and forgot to lock the cage. Lily saw her chance and flew out of the window. She felt free and excited. She saw many trees, flowers, and animals. She sang a happy song and made new friends. + +But soon, she realized that the world was not all fun and safe. She saw a big cat who tried to catch her. She saw a hawk who swooped down on her. She saw a storm who made loud noises and wet her feathers. She got scared and tired. She missed her cage and Tom. + +She flew back to the window and saw Tom looking for her. He was worried and sad. He saw Lily and smiled. He opened the window and let her in. He hugged her and gave her some seeds. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry I kept you in the cage. I love you and I want you to be happy. But you have to be careful. The world is not always kind to little birds like you. You can go out sometimes, but only with me. OK?" + +Lily nodded and cuddled with Tom. She realized that he was her friend and he cared for her. She realized that her cage was her home and she was safe there. She realized that she could be happy in both places, as long as she had Tom. She sang a thankful song and made Tom happy. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They are happy. + +One night, they hear a loud noise.

"Mom, Dad, can we sleep with you?" they ask. "The storm is ugly and scary." + +Mom and Dad open the door. They hug Ben and Lily. They say, "Don't worry, the storm will go away soon. You are safe with us. Come on, let's go to our bed." + +They all go to the big bed. Mom and Dad sing a song. Ben and Lily snuggle with them. They feel warm and cozy. They close their eyes.

Tom has a laser that makes bright lights and sounds. Jen has a doll that she can dress and comb. Tom likes to point his laser at Jen's doll and make it flash and beep. Jen does not like that. She tells Tom to stop. + +"Tom, stop! You are hurting my doll!" Jen says. + +"No, I'm not. It's just a laser. It's fun!" Tom says. + +"Tom, stop! You are making my doll scared!" Jen says. + +"No, I'm not. It's just a laser. It's cool!" Tom says. + +Tom and Jen start to yell at each other. They are both angry and loud. Mom hears them from the kitchen. She is patient, but she does not like the noise. She comes to the living room and sees Tom and Jen fighting. + +"Tom, Jen, what is going on?" Mom asks. + +"Tom is pointing his laser at my doll and he won't stop!" Jen says. + +"Jen is being silly and she won't let me play with my laser!" Tom says. + +Mom looks at Tom and Jen. She sees that they are both upset and need to calm down. She has an idea. + +"Tom, Jen, how about we play a different game? A game where you can both use your laser and your doll?" Mom says. + +"What game?" Tom and Jen ask. + +"Let's play space adventure! You can pretend that your laser is a spaceship and your doll is an astronaut. You can explore the stars and planets and have fun together. What do you think?" Mom says. + +Tom and Jen think for a moment. They like the idea of playing space adventure. They think it sounds fun and exciting. They look at each other and smile. + +"Okay, let's play space adventure!" Tom and Jen say. + +Mom helps them set up their toys and their imagination. She is happy to see them playing nicely and having fun. She goes back to the kitchen and smiles. She is proud of her patient and creative children. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. It was a sunny day in the fall season. They saw many leaves on the ground. They were red, yellow, and brown. They liked to pick them up and make piles. + +"Look, I can tie these leaves together with this string," Ben said. He showed Mia his leaf necklace. "It is pretty, right?" + +"Yes, it is pretty," Mia said. She wanted to make one too. She asked Ben for some string. But Ben did not want to share. He said, "No, this is my string. You can find your own." + +Mia was sad. She looked around for some string. She saw a long, thin thing on the ground. It looked like string. She picked it up and tried to tie some leaves with it. But it was not string. It was a worm! + +"Yuck!" Mia screamed. She dropped the worm and the leaves. She felt something slimy on her hand. It was disgusting. She ran to the water fountain to wash her hand. + +Ben heard Mia scream. He looked at what she had. He saw the worm and the leaves. He laughed. He said, "Ha ha, you are silly. That is not string. That is a worm. Worms are gross. You should have used my string." + +Mia was angry. She said, "You are mean. You did not share your string. You made me use a worm. You are not a good friend." + +She ran away from Ben. She did not want to play with him anymore. Ben was alone. He felt sorry. He wished he had shared his string. He learned that sharing is better than being selfish. +Lily and Sam are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. Today, they are going to the park with their mom. Mom says they need to eat a healthy breakfast first. + +"What is healthy, mom?" Lily asks. + +"Healthy means good for your body. It makes you strong and happy. Like fruits and eggs and milk," mom says. + +"I like fruits and eggs and milk," Sam says. + +"Me too," Lily says. They eat their breakfast and put on their coats and hats. + +Mom calls a taxi to take them to the park. The taxi is yellow and big. The driver is nice and says hello.

Sam says. + +They are very excited to go to the park. They want to play on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They thank the driver and get out of the taxi.

He flew away and hid in the trees. + +The king was sad and hungry. He had no deer and no arrows. He went back to his castle. He learned a lesson. He should not be mean and loud. He should be kind and quiet. The animals and the trees are his friends. The little bird was mighty. He saved the deer and the forest. +Sara liked to dream. Every night, she closed her eyes and saw many things. She saw animals, stars, flowers, and friends. She liked to dream about flying, swimming, and playing. + +One night, she had a very strange dream. She dreamed that she was in a cold place, with snow and ice. She saw a big white bear, with a black nose and eyes. The bear looked at her and said, "Hello, little girl. What is your name?" + +Sara was scared, but she answered, "My name is Sara. What is your name?" + +The bear said, "My name is Snowy. I live here, in the cold. Do you like the cold?" + +Sara shook her head. She said, "No, I don't like the cold. I like the warm. I like the sun, and the grass, and the flowers." + +Snowy nodded. He said, "I understand. Everyone has their own opinion. I like the cold, because it is my home. I like the snow, and the ice, and the fish." + +Sara and Snowy talked for a while. They learned about each other's lives, and they found some things in common. They both liked to play, and to eat, and to dream. + +Sara woke up in the morning. She smiled and remembered her dream. She thought, "Snowy was a nice bear. I hope I see him again in my dreams." +Anna and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a small house made of wood and a big tree with many leaves. They also have a bulb that they want to plant in the ground. They hope it will grow into a beautiful flower. + +One day, they dig a hole and put the bulb inside. They cover it with dirt and water it. They are very happy and proud of their work. They make a sign that says "Our bulb" and stick it next to the hole. + +But the next day, they see that someone has taken their sign and their bulb. They are very sad and angry. They look around and see Max, the boy who lives next door. He has their sign and their bulb in his hands. He is laughing and saying "This is my bulb now!" + +Anna and Ben run to Max and try to get their bulb back. They say "That is not fair! That is our bulb! We planted it and watered it! Give it back!" But Max is bigger and stronger than them. He pushes them away and says "No, it is mine! I found it and I like it! Go away!" + +Anna and Ben do not know what to do. They feel like crying. They wish they had someone to help them. Then they see Lily, their big sister. She is coming home from school. She sees what is happening and runs to them. She says "What is going on? Why are you fighting?" + +Anna and Ben tell her everything. They show her the hole where they planted the bulb and the sign that they made. They point to Max and say "He took our bulb and he won't give it back! He is mean and unfair!" + +Lily looks at Max and says "Is that true? Did you take their bulb?" Max nods and says "Yes, I did. It is mine now. I like it." Lily says "That is not right. That is not how you treat your friends. You should share and be kind. You should give their bulb back and say sorry." + +Max shakes his head and says "No, I won't. I don't care. I want the bulb." Lily says "That is not nice. That is not how you make friends. You will be lonely and unhappy if you act like that. You should think about how they feel. How would you feel if someone took your things?" + +Max thinks for a moment. He remembers how he felt when his bike was stolen. He felt sad and angry. He wished he had his bike back. He looks at Anna and Ben. He sees their faces. They look sad and angry. He feels sorry for them. He says "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Here is your bulb. You can have it back. I hope it grows into a beautiful flower." + +Anna and Ben smile and say "Thank you. We forgive you. You can be our friend. You can help us water the bulb and watch it grow. Maybe it will have your favorite color." Max smiles and says "OK. That sounds good. I'm sorry for being mean. I want to be your friend. Can I help you make a new sign?" + +Lily says "That is very nice of you. That is how you support your friends. You make them happy and help them. You are a good boy. Come on, let's go to the garden and make a new sign. Maybe we can find some more bulbs and plant them together." + +They all go to the garden and make a new sign. They find some more bulbs and plant them together. They water them and wait for them to grow. They are happy and proud of their work. They are friends. +Anna and Ben were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to go outside, but it was raining hard. They looked out the window and saw big puddles and wet leaves. + +"Let's go to the attic," Ben said. "Maybe we can find something fun there." + +"Okay," Anna said. "But we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad are working downstairs." + +They tiptoed up the stairs and opened the door to the attic. It was dark and dusty. They saw old boxes, clothes, and books. They also heard a strange sound. + +"What's that?" Anna asked. + +"It sounds like a leak," Ben said. "Maybe there's a hole in the roof." + +They followed the sound and found a corner where water was dripping from the ceiling. They also saw something shiny under the water. + +"Look, Anna, a treasure!" Ben said. He reached for the shiny thing and pulled it out. It was a necklace with a big blue stone. + +"Wow, it's so pretty," Anna said. "Where did it come from?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it belonged to someone who lived here a long time ago. Maybe it has a story." + +They put the necklace around Anna's neck and admired it. They wondered who made it and who wore it. They felt like they had found a mysterious secret in the attic. + +They decided to keep the necklace and hide it in their room. They also decided to come back to the attic and look for more treasures. They liked to wander and explore. They liked to imagine and dream. +Sara and Tom were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big hill with smoke coming out of it. They wondered what it was. + +"Is that a volcano?" Sara asked. + +"I don't know. Let's go and see," Tom said. + +They ran towards the hill, but they did not see anyone else. They felt scared and lonely. + +"Hello, is anyone there?" Tom shouted. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. + +"Who are you? Why are you here?" the voice said. + +They looked up and saw a face on the hill. It had a big nose, a mouth, and two eyes. It was the volcano. + +"We are Sara and Tom. We are friends. We wanted to see you," Sara said. + +The volcano looked surprised. + +"Me? You wanted to see me? But I am lonely. No one ever comes to visit me. Everyone is afraid of me," the volcano said. + +Sara and Tom felt sorry for the volcano. + +"We are not afraid of you. You are not scary. You are amazing. Can we be your friends?" Tom asked. + +The volcano smiled. + +"Really? You want to be my friends? That would make me very happy. Yes, please, be my friends," the volcano said. + +Sara and Tom hugged the volcano. + +"Yay, we have a new friend. What is your name?" Sara asked. + +The volcano thought for a moment. + +"I don't have a name. No one ever gave me one. Can you give me one?" the volcano asked. + +Sara and Tom looked at each other. + +"How about Smokey? You have a lot of smoke," Tom suggested. + +The volcano liked the name. + +"Smokey. I like it. Thank you. You are very kind," the volcano said. + +Sara, Tom, and Smokey became good friends. They played and talked and laughed. They were not lonely anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Max were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They were going to an island for a holiday. Lily was happy. She liked the water and the fish and the sun. Max was not happy. He hated the water and the fish and the sun. He wanted to stay at home and play with his toys. + +"Look, Max, there is the island!" Lily said, pointing out the window. "It is so pretty! There are trees and flowers and birds. Maybe we can find some shells or coconuts or monkeys." + +"I don't care," Max said, crossing his arms. "The island is boring. I want to go back. I miss my robot and my dinosaur and my car." + +"Come on, Max, don't be silly," their mom said, smiling. "The island is fun. You will see. There are many things to do and see. Maybe you will make some new friends." + +"No, I won't," Max said, shaking his head. "I hate the island. I hate everything." + +The boat stopped at the island and they got off. Lily ran to the beach and started to build a sandcastle. Max followed her, but he did not help. He kicked the sand and made a grumpy face. + +"Stop it, Max, you are ruining my castle!" Lily said, frowning. "Why are you so mean?" + +"Because I hate the island," Max said, kicking harder. "And I hate you." + +Lily felt sad. She did not understand why Max was so angry. She loved her brother and wanted to play with him. She saw something move in the bushes and went to look. She found a small, furry animal with big ears and a long tail. It was adorable. It looked at her with curious eyes and made a soft noise. + +"Wow, what are you?" Lily said, reaching out her hand. "You are so cute. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The animal sniffed her hand and licked it. Then it jumped on her shoulder and cuddled her. Lily giggled. She felt happy. + +"Look, Max, look what I found!" Lily said, running back to him. "It is a bunny. A bunny on the island. Isn't it amazing?" + +Max looked at the animal and felt a strange feeling. He did not hate it. He thought it was adorable too. He wanted to touch it and hold it. He felt sorry for being mean to Lily. + +"Can I see it?" Max said, softly. "Can I pet it?" + +"Sure, Max, you can," Lily said, smiling. "Here, you can hold it. It is very friendly. It likes you." + +Max took the animal and felt its warm fur and its heartbeat. He smiled. He felt happy. + +"Thank you, Lily," Max said, hugging his sister. "You are the best. I'm sorry I was mean. I don't hate the island. I don't hate you. I love you." + +"I love you too, Max," Lily said, hugging him back. "And I love the island. And I love the bunny. We are a happy family." + +They played with the animal and their mom and dad joined them. They had a wonderful time on the island. They learned new things and made new friends. They did not want to leave. They decided to name the animal Fluffy and take it home with them. They were happy. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a big building with a tall tower and many windows. It was a temple. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go and peek," Lily said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"OK, but we have to be quiet and careful," Sam said. "We don't want to get in trouble." + +They walked to the temple and found a small door. They opened it and went in. It was dark and cool. They saw many candles and statues and books. Everything was organized and neat. + +"Wow, look at all these things," Lily said. "They are so pretty and shiny." + +She picked up a book and opened it. It had many pictures and words she did not know. She tried to read it, but it was too hard. + +"Put that back, Lily," Sam said. "That is not for us. That is for the people who come here to pray and learn." + +He took the book from her and put it back on the shelf. He saw a candle and a match. He wanted to light it and see the flame. + +"Look, Lily, I can make fire," he said. He struck the match and lit the candle. It flickered and danced. + +"Wow, that is cool, Sam," Lily said. "But be careful. Don't burn yourself or anything else." + +She looked around and saw a curtain. She wondered what was behind it. She pulled it and saw a big window. It had many colors and shapes. It was a stained glass window. It was beautiful. + +"Look, Sam, look at this window," she said. "It is like a rainbow." + +She forgot about the candle and the book. She ran to the window and pressed her nose against it. She saw the sun and the sky and the birds. + +Sam forgot about the window and the curtain. He was fascinated by the candle and the match. He wanted to light more candles and see more fire. He did not notice that the match he had dropped was still burning. It landed on the book that Lily had opened. It caught fire and spread to the other books and the shelf. + +Soon, the fire was big and hot and smoky. It made a loud noise and a bad smell. Lily and Sam heard it and turned around. They saw the fire and the smoke and the flames. They were scared and sorry. + +"Help, help, fire, fire," they screamed. They ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. They were trapped. + +They heard sirens and people outside. They banged on the door and shouted for help. They hoped someone would hear them and save them. They hugged each other and cried. + +They learned a hard lesson. They should not have peeked. They should have listened to Sam. They should have been quiet and careful. They should have respected the temple and the things inside. They should have been more organized and neat. They should have been more careful with fire and matches. They should have been more responsible and respectful. They should have been better friends. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They are hungry and thirsty. They want to eat and drink something yummy. + +"Let's go to the kitchen and see what we can find," Anna says. + +"OK, but we have to ask Mommy first," Ben says. + +They run to the house and find Mommy in the living room. She is reading a book. + +"Mommy, can we have a snack?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, sweeties, what do you want?" Mommy says. + +"I want a banana and some juice," Ben says. + +"I want a cookie and some milk," Anna says. + +"OK, you can have that, but you have to bring your plates and cups to the sink when you are done," Mommy says. + +"OK, Mommy, we will," Anna and Ben say. + +They go to the kitchen and find their yummy snacks. They sit at the table and enjoy their food and drinks. They talk and laugh and have fun. + +"Anna, I have an idea," Ben says. + +"What is it?" Anna says. + +"Let's bring some snacks to our teddy bears in the garden. They must be hungry and thirsty too," Ben says. + +"That's a good idea, Ben. Let's do that," Anna says. + +They fill a basket with some bananas, cookies, juice and milk. They carry the basket to the garden and find their teddy bears. They share their snacks with their furry friends. They pretend to have a picnic and a tea party. They hug and thank their teddy bears for playing with them. + +"Mommy, we brought some snacks to our teddy bears," Anna says. + +"That's very nice of you, Anna and Ben. You are very kind and generous," Mommy says. + +"Thank you, Mommy. We love you and we love our teddy bears," Anna and Ben say. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. They had a toy car that ran on a battery. They took turns to drive the car and make it go fast. They had a lot of fun with the car. + +One day, the car stopped moving. Lily and Tom looked at the car and saw that the battery was empty. They were sad and did not know what to do. They wanted to play with the car some more. + +Lily had an idea. She said to Tom, "Let's jog to the store and buy a new battery. Jogging is good for us and it will make us strong and happy." Tom agreed and they put on their shoes and jackets. They jogged to the store, holding hands and singing songs. + +At the store, they found a new battery that fit their car. They paid the money and thanked the store lady. They jogged back to their house, excited to play with the car again. + +They put the new battery in the car and turned it on. The car started to move and make noises. Lily and Tom smiled and cheered. They drove the car around the yard, laughing and having fun. + +They learned that when something is broken, they can try to fix it. They also learned that jogging is a good way to move and be healthy. They were proud of themselves and happy with their car. They hugged each other and said, "We are good friends and we help each other." They played with the car until it was time to go inside. They had a thick blanket to keep them warm and cozy. They fell asleep, dreaming of their car and their friendship. +Lily loved to read books. She read every day and learned many things. She liked to read about animals, places, and stories. She had many books in her room. + +One day, she went to the library with her mom. She saw a big book with a colorful cover. It had pictures of dragons, castles, and princesses. She felt an urge to read it. She asked her mom if she could borrow it. + +"Sure, honey, but it looks like a hard book. Do you think you can read it?" her mom asked. + +Lily nodded. She was sure she could read it. She was a good reader. She took the book and went to the checkout. + +At home, she opened the book and tried to read it. But the words were too big and too many. She did not know what they meant. She felt frustrated and sad. She wanted to read the book, but she could not. + +She went to her mom and showed her the book. She said, "Mom, I can't read this book. It's too hard. I'm sorry." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. You don't have to be sorry. You tried your best. Reading is a skill that takes time and practice. You can't read everything at once. You have to start with easy books and then move on to harder ones. That's how you learn and grow. You are a good reader, but you still have a lot to learn. And that's fine. I'm proud of you for having the urge to read and for being brave enough to try something new. Maybe one day, when you are older and more experienced, you can read this book and enjoy it. But for now, why don't you pick another book from your room that you can read and have fun with?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are right. I will pick another book. And I will keep reading and learning every day. I love you, mom." + +"I love you too, Lily. And I love that you love to read. Reading is a good habit that will help you in many ways. Now, go and read your book and have a good time." her mom said. + +Lily went to her room and picked a book that she liked. It was about a bunny who went on an adventure. She read it and had a good time. She learned some new words and some new things. She was happy and proud. She still had the urge to read, but she also had the patience to wait. She knew that one day, she would be able to read the big book with the colorful cover. And she looked forward to that day. +Tom and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like monkeys, elephants, and giraffes. But Tom and Lily liked the lions best. They were big and yellow and had long hair around their heads. + +Tom and Lily wanted to hold a lion. They thought they were soft and friendly. Mom and Dad said no, lions were dangerous and could bite. But Tom and Lily did not listen. They were foolish. + +When Mom and Dad were looking at the map, Tom and Lily ran to the fence of the lion cage. They saw a small lion cub sleeping on a rock. Tom and Lily climbed over the fence and sneaked to the cub. They reached out their hands to hold it. + +But the cub was not sleeping. It opened its eyes and saw Tom and Lily. It roared and scratched them with its claws. Tom and Lily screamed and let go of the cub. They ran back to the fence, but it was too high. They were trapped. + +The big lions heard the noise and woke up. They saw Tom and Lily and smelled their blood. They were hungry and angry. They ran to the fence and jumped over it. They chased Tom and Lily. + +Mom and Dad heard the screams and saw the lions. They were scared and sad. They called for help. The zookeepers came with guns and nets. They shot the lions with darts and caught them with nets. They saved Tom and Lily. + +Tom and Lily were hurt and sorry. They cried and hugged Mom and Dad. They said they were sorry for being foolish. They learned their lesson. They never tried to hold a lion again. +Tommy was a big boy now. He did not sleep in a crib anymore. He slept in a big bed with a blue blanket. He liked his big bed very much. But sometimes, he missed his crib. + +One night, he heard a noise from the baby's room. He got out of his big bed and walked to the door. He saw his baby sister, Lily, crying in her crib. She was holding a pink bunny. Tommy liked the pink bunny. It was soft and fluffy. He wanted to hold it too. + +He went to the crib and reached for the bunny. But Lily did not want to share. She held the bunny tighter and cried louder. She said, "No, no, no! Mine, mine, mine!" + +Tommy was angry. He said, "Give me the bunny! I want it! It was mine first!" + +Mommy heard the noise and came to the baby's room. She saw Tommy and Lily fighting over the bunny. She was not happy. She said, "Tommy, what are you doing? You are a big boy. You should be polite and let Lily have the bunny. She is a baby. She needs it more than you." + +Tommy felt ashamed. He knew Mommy was right. He said, "Sorry, Mommy. Sorry, Lily. I was mean. You can have the bunny." + +He gave the bunny back to Lily and kissed her on the cheek. Lily stopped crying and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tommy. You are a good brother. Do you want to hold my hand?" + +Tommy nodded and held Lily's hand. They both felt happy and sleepy. Mommy tucked them in and said, "Good night, my sweeties. I love you both." + +She turned off the light and left the room. Tommy and Lily fell asleep, holding hands and dreaming of bunnies. +Lily and Ben are playing with paper and crayons. They want to make shapes and animals. Lily notices a pair of scissors on the table. She thinks they can cut the paper with them. + +"Look, Ben, scissors!" she says, reaching for them. + +"Wait, Lily, scissors are sharp!" Ben says, grabbing her hand. "Mommy says we have to be careful with scissors. They can hurt us." + +Lily looks at the scissors. They have shiny blades and a red handle. She wants to try them, but she also does not want to get hurt. + +"Can we ask Mommy to help us?" she asks Ben. + +"Okay, let's ask Mommy," Ben agrees. They put down the crayons and the paper and run to the kitchen, where Mommy is making cookies. + +"Mommy, Mommy, can you help us with scissors?" they ask together. + +Mommy smiles and wipes her hands. She follows them to the table and sees the scissors. + +"Sure, I can help you with scissors," she says. "But you have to be very careful and listen to me, okay?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They are happy that Mommy will help them. They sit down and watch Mommy show them how to hold the scissors and cut the paper. They take turns and make different shapes and animals. They have fun and are proud of their creations. They thank Mommy and hug her. + +"Good job, Lily and Ben," Mommy says. "You were very careful with scissors. And you made beautiful art. I love you." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to draw with crayons on paper. One day, they draw a big house with many windows and a door. They are happy with their drawing. + +But then, Tom sees a mistake. He drew a window where the door should be. He is sad and angry. He wants to erase the window and draw the door again. But he does not have an eraser. He looks at Sam and asks, "Do you have an eraser?" + +Sam shakes his head. He does not have an eraser either. He says, "I have an idea. We can use my hat to cover the window. Then we can draw the door on my hat. It will look like a funny house." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes Sam's idea. He says, "OK, let's try it." Sam takes off his hat and puts it on the paper. It is a red hat with a blue star. It is very tight on Sam's head. He likes his hat very much. + +They draw the door on the hat with a black crayon. They are happy with their drawing again. They smile and high-five each other. They have solved their problem. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Sam's mom. She says, "Sam, it is time to go home. Where is your hat?" Sam and Tom look at each other. They are scared. They forgot about Sam's mom. They do not know what to say. They have a new problem. +Ben liked to play in the garage with his toys. He had cars, trucks, trains and planes. He made loud noises and pretended to drive and fly. His mom told him to be careful and not touch anything else in the garage. She said there were sharp things and dirty things that could hurt him or make him sick. She said he had to order his toys when he was done playing. + +But Ben did not listen to his mom. He was naughty and curious. He wanted to see what else was in the garage. He opened boxes and drawers and cabinets. He found tools and wires and cans and bottles. He touched everything and made a big mess. He did not order his toys. + +His mom came to the garage and saw what Ben had done. She was very angry and sad. She said Ben was a bad boy and he had to go to his room. She said he could not play with his toys for a long time. She said he had to say sorry and help her clean the garage. + +But Ben did not say sorry or help his mom. He was naughty and stubborn. He ran to his room and slammed the door. He cried and kicked and screamed. He did not have any fun. + +He did not know that one of the cans he had opened in the garage was very dangerous. It had gas in it and it could catch fire. He did not know that he had left a wire near the can and it could make a spark. He did not know that the garage was going to explode and burn. He did not know that he and his mom were in big trouble. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road. + +"Look at me, I'm so fast!" Lily said, making her car go forward. + +"I'm faster, watch this!" Ben said, making his car go backward. He did not see the hairy brush that was on the floor behind him. He hit the brush with his car and it got stuck in the wheels. + +"Oh no, my car is broken!" Ben cried. He tried to pull the brush out, but it was too hard. + +Lily stopped her car and went to help him. She saw the brush and said, "Ben, you should not reverse so much. You should look where you are going. That is a hairy brush, not a road. It is for cleaning your hair, not your car." + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was just having fun. I did not mean to break my car." Ben said, feeling sad. + +Lily smiled and said, "It's okay, Ben. I have an idea. Let's use the brush to make our cars look hairy. Then we can pretend they are animals, not cars. That will be fun too." + +Ben liked Lily's idea. He said, "That sounds fun, Lily. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend." + +They used the brush to make their cars look hairy. They pretended they were lions and tigers and bears. They roared and growled and laughed. They had fun playing with their hairy cars. + +The moral of the story is: You should be careful when you reverse and look where you are going. You should also be kind and help your friends when they have a problem. You can have fun in different ways. +Sara was going on a trip with her mom and dad. She was very excited. She helped mom pack her clothes and toys in a big bag. The bag was called luggage. Sara liked the word luggage. It sounded funny. + +They went to the airport in a car. Sara saw many planes in the sky. She wondered how they could fly. She wanted to fly too. She asked mom and dad if they could fly. They said yes, they would fly in a plane soon. + +They got out of the car and took their luggage to a big building. There were many people and noises. Sara felt different. She felt scared and curious. She held mom's hand tight. Mom smiled and said it was okay. She said they would have fun on the trip. + +They waited in a line and showed their tickets to a lady. The lady gave them stickers and said they could go to the plane. They walked to a gate and saw a big plane. Sara felt different again. She felt happy and amazed. She wanted to see the plane up close. + +They got on the plane and found their seats. Sara sat by the window. She saw the luggage being put in the plane. She saw the wings and the wheels. She saw the clouds and the sun. She felt different one more time. She felt excited and ready. She said to mom and dad, "Let's go!" +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they are going to Ben's house. Ben's mom drives them in her car. + +When they get to Ben's house, Ben's mom says, "You can go to Ben's room and unpack your bag, Lily. I will make some snacks for you." + +Lily and Ben go to Ben's room. It is big and has many toys. Lily opens her bag and takes out her doll. She shows it to Ben. + +"This is my doll, Anna. She is pale and has blue eyes. Do you like her?" Lily asks. + +Ben nods. He likes Lily's doll. He unpacks his bag too. He takes out his truck. He shows it to Lily. + +"This is my truck, Max. He is red and has big wheels. Do you like him?" Ben asks. + +Lily nods. She likes Ben's truck. She and Ben decide to play with their toys. They make Anna and Max go on an adventure. They have fun. + +Ben's mom comes to Ben's room. She brings some cookies and juice. She smiles at Lily and Ben. + +"You two are having a good time, I see. Do you want some snacks?" Ben's mom asks. + +Lily and Ben say yes. They thank Ben's mom. They eat their snacks and share their toys. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have a toy gun and a television. Lily likes to shoot the gun at the television and make noises. Ben likes to watch the television and see the pictures. + +"Bang, bang, bang!" Lily says, shooting the gun at the television. "I got you, bad guy!" + +"Stop it, Lily!" Ben says, frowning. "You are making the television angry. It will break." + +"No, it won't," Lily says, laughing. "It is just a game. See, the television is still working." + +She shoots the gun again at the television. But this time, something goes wrong. The gun makes a loud pop and a spark. The television makes a loud crack and a smoke. The television stops working. It is broken. + +"Uh-oh," Lily says, dropping the gun. "What did we do?" + +Ben starts to cry. He is scared and sad. He likes the television. He wants to watch the pictures. + +"Mama, mama!" he calls, running to the door. "Lily broke the television!" + +Lily feels bad. She did not mean to break the television. She just wanted to play. She wishes she listened to Ben. She follows him to the door. + +"Mama, mama!" she says, sobbing. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" +Sara and her mom went to the mall. They wanted to buy a new dress for Sara. Sara saw a pink dress with flowers. She liked it very much. She asked her mom if she could try it on. + +"Sure, honey. Let's go to the fitting room," her mom said. + +They went to the fitting room. Sara put on the pink dress. She looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled. She felt pretty. + +"Mom, can I have this dress?" she asked. + +Her mom looked at the price tag. She frowned. The dress was too expensive. + +"I'm sorry, honey. This dress is too much money. We have to return it," her mom said. + +Sara felt sad. She liked the pink dress. She did not want to return it. She started to cry. + +"Please, mom. Please. I want this dress," she said. + +Her mom hugged her. She tried to calm her down. + +"I know, honey. I know. But we can't buy this dress. We have to find another dress. A cheaper dress. A dress that we can afford," her mom said. + +Sara stopped crying. She looked at her mom. She felt nervous. She did not want to make her mom unhappy. She loved her mom. + +"OK, mom. I'm sorry. I'll return the dress," she said. + +She took off the pink dress. She put on her old dress. She gave the pink dress to her mom. Her mom returned the dress to the rack. + +They walked out of the fitting room. They looked for another dress. A dress that was not too much money. A dress that they could buy. A dress that Sara and her mom would like. +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they saw their mom make coffee in the kitchen. She poured hot water and brown powder into a big cup and stirred it with a spoon. She said, "This is my favorite coffee. It helps me wake up and work." + +Tom and Anna were curious. They wanted to try the coffee too. They waited until their mom went to the bathroom and then they tiptoed to the kitchen. They saw the big cup on the table. Tom said, "Let's have a sip. Maybe it will make us famous like mom. She writes books that many people read." + +Anna said, "OK, but be careful. It might be hot." She reached for the cup, but Tom pushed her hand away. He said, "No, I want to go first. I'm older by two minutes." He grabbed the cup and lifted it to his mouth. + +But the cup was too heavy and hot for Tom. He spilled the coffee on his shirt and face. He screamed, "Ow, ow, ow! It burns, it burns!" He dropped the cup and it broke on the floor. + +Anna was scared. She said, "Oh no, Tom, are you OK? Mom will be mad at us. We broke her favorite cup and made a mess." She ran to get a towel and some ice. + +Their mom heard the noise and came back to the kitchen. She saw Tom crying, Anna trying to help, and the coffee and the cup everywhere. She was shocked and angry. She said, "What did you do? Why did you touch my coffee? You could have hurt yourself. You know you're not supposed to drink coffee. It's not for kids." + +Tom and Anna felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We wanted to try your coffee. We thought it would make us famous like you." + +Their mom sighed. She said, "Coffee doesn't make you famous, sweeties. It's just a drink for grown-ups. You make me famous by being my children. I love you, but you have to listen to me and be careful. Now let me clean you up and the kitchen. And no more coffee for you, OK?" + +Tom and Anna nodded. They said, "OK, mom. We love you too. And we're sorry about your cup." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "It's OK. It's just a cup. I can get another one. But I can't get another Tom and Anna. You're my precious twins." +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big tree with many nuts on it. They wanted to pick some nuts and eat them. They ran to the tree and reached for the nuts. + +But a squirrel was on the tree too. He saw Ben and Lily and got angry. He did not want to share his nuts. He said, "Go away! These are my nuts! You are rude!" + +Ben and Lily were scared and sad. They did not know why the squirrel was so mean. They said, "We are not rude! We just want some nuts. Please, can we have some?" + +The squirrel did not listen. He threw nuts at Ben and Lily and made loud noises. He wanted them to leave. He said, "No! You can't have any! These are all mine! Go away!" + +Ben and Lily ran back to their mom. They told her what happened. Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. That squirrel was very rude. He did not know how to share. But you are very kind and polite. You know how to ask nicely. Maybe we can find some other nuts somewhere else." + +Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They still liked nuts, but they did not like the rude squirrel. They hoped he would learn how to share someday. They went to look for another tree with their mom. +Tom and Lily went to the pond with their mom. They liked to see the fish and the ducks in the water. They also liked to look for frogs in the grass. They saw a big green frog sitting on a rock. Tom wanted to catch it. + +"Look, Lily, a frog!" Tom said. He ran to the rock and tried to grab the frog. But the frog was fast. It jumped off the rock and into the pond. Tom was sad. He wanted to play with the frog. + +"Maybe we can find another frog," Lily said. She looked around and saw a small pale frog hiding under a leaf. She pointed to it and said, "There, Tom, a pale frog!" + +Tom smiled and walked to the leaf. He was careful not to scare the frog. He reached out his hand and touched the frog gently. The frog did not jump. It stayed on the leaf and looked at Tom. + +"Hello, frog," Tom said. "Do you want to be my friend?" + +The frog croaked and blinked its eyes. Tom thought it said yes. He picked up the frog and held it in his hand. He showed it to Lily and his mom. + +"Look, I found a pale frog!" Tom said. "It is very soft and cute. Can I keep it?" + +His mom smiled and said, "No, Tom, you can't keep the frog. It belongs to the pond. It needs water and bugs to live. You can play with it for a little while, but then you have to let it go." + +Tom nodded. He understood. He played with the frog for a little while. He made it jump on his hand and on the grass. He gave it a name. He called it Hoppy. He said, "Hoppy, you are a good frog. I like you." + +Then he took Hoppy to the edge of the pond. He said, "Bye, Hoppy. Thank you for playing with me. Have fun in the pond." He put Hoppy on a rock and watched it jump into the water. He waved to it and said, "See you next time, Hoppy!" + +Tom and Lily went back to their mom. They were happy. They had fun at the pond. They saw a green frog and a pale frog. They learned to be kind to animals. They had a good day. +One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw a big round slide that looked like fun. Lily ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Tom followed her, but he was slower. + +"Look, Tom, I can slide down very fast!" Lily said. She raised her arms and slid down the round slide. She laughed and felt happy. + +Tom wanted to slide down too, but when he reached the top, he saw a grumpy boy sitting on the slide. The boy had a mean face and did not want to move. + +"Hey, get off the slide!" Tom said. "It's my turn!" + +"No, it's mine!" the grumpy boy said. "I was here first!" + +Tom felt angry and sad. He did not know what to do. He looked at Lily, who was waiting for him at the bottom. + +"Mom, help!" Tom shouted. "There is a grumpy boy on the slide!" + +Mom heard Tom and came to see what was wrong. She saw the grumpy boy and talked to him. + +"Hello, what is your name?" Mom asked. + +"Ben," the grumpy boy said. + +"Ben, why are you sitting on the slide?" Mom asked. + +"Because I like it," Ben said. + +"But don't you want to share with other kids?" Mom asked. + +"No, I don't," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and said, "Ben, I understand that you like the slide, but it is not nice to keep it for yourself. Other kids want to have fun too. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He realized that he would not like it if someone took his toys or his snacks. He felt a little sorry for Tom. + +"OK, I guess I can share," Ben said. He moved to the side and let Tom slide down. + +Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. Do you want to slide with me and Lily?" + +Ben nodded and said, "OK, that sounds fun." + +Lily, Tom, and Ben slid down the round slide together. They raised their arms and laughed. They felt happy and became friends. Mom watched them and felt proud. She knew that sharing was caring. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big tent with a red cross. They are curious. + +"What is that?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe it is a house for doctors," Ben says. + +They go closer to the tent. They see a sign that says "Emergency". They do not know what it means. + +"Can we enter?" Anna wonders. + +"Let's try," Ben says. + +They open the flap and enter the tent. Inside, they see many people lying on beds. Some have bandages, some have tubes, some have machines. They hear beeps and cries. They are scared. + +"Who are you?" a voice asks. + +They turn and see a woman in a white coat. She looks angry. + +"We are sorry, we just wanted to see," Anna says. + +"This is not a place for children. This is a place for sick and hurt people. It is very difficult to help them. You have to leave now," the woman says. + +She takes them by the hand and leads them out of the tent. She tells them to go back to their parents. + +Anna and Ben run away. They feel bad. They did not mean to cause trouble. + +They find their parents and hug them. They tell them what happened. + +Their parents are not mad. They explain to them what an emergency is and why they should not enter the tent. + +Anna and Ben understand. They say they are sorry. They promise to be more careful. + +They go back to playing in the park. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. Lily gave the snowman a carrot nose and Tom gave him two buttons for eyes. + +"Look at our snowman!" Lily said. "He is so nice and happy!" + +"Yes, he is!" Tom said. "But he must be cold. He has no coat or gloves." + +Lily and Tom looked at their snowman. They felt sorry for him. They wanted to make him warm and cozy. + +"I have an idea!" Lily said. "We can give him a bandage. It is like a blanket for hurts." + +Lily ran to the house and got a bandage from the bathroom. She wrapped it around the snowman's neck. + +"There!" she said. "Now he has a bandage. He will not shiver anymore." + +Tom looked at the snowman. He saw the bandage on his neck. He felt jealous. He wanted to give the snowman something too. + +"I have an idea too!" Tom said. "We can give him a hug. It is like a kiss for friends." + +Tom ran to the snowman and hugged him. He squeezed him hard. + +"There!" he said. "Now he has a hug. He will feel loved." + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They smiled. They were happy. They had made their snowman warm and cozy. They had given him a bandage and a hug. They had shown him they cared. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. Ben went first and slid down fast. He laughed and said, "That was fun!" Lily followed him and slid down too. But when she reached the bottom, she felt something wet and sticky on her back. She looked and saw a blueberry muffin stuck to her shirt. She had forgotten that she had put it in her pocket before leaving home. + +Some kids who were playing nearby saw the muffin and pointed at Lily. They laughed and said, "Look, she has a muffin on her back! How silly!" Lily felt very embarrassed and ashamed. She wanted to hide and cry. She did not like the kids laughing at her. + +Ben saw that Lily was sad and angry. He ran to her and hugged her. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's just a muffin. It's not your fault. You can wash it off. You are still my sister and I love you." He took the muffin off her shirt and threw it in the trash. He helped her clean her shirt with some water and a napkin. He said, "There, now you look fine. Let's go play some more. The slide is fun. And maybe we can get some ice cream later." + +Lily smiled and hugged Ben back. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother and I love you too. Let's go play some more. The slide is fun. And yes, I want some ice cream later." She felt better and not embarrassed or ashamed anymore. She and Ben ran to the slide and had a good time. Their mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of them. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big poster on the wall. It said: "Come and see the lions at the zoo!" Lily and Ben loved lions. They wanted to see them very much. + +"Let's plan to go to the zoo tomorrow," Lily said. "We can ask our moms to take us." + +"Good idea," Ben said. "But it will be very hot tomorrow. We should bring water and hats." + +They went home and told their moms about their plan. Their moms agreed to take them to the zoo. Lily and Ben were very happy. They packed their bags and went to bed early. + +The next day, they woke up early and got ready. They met at the park and walked to the zoo with their moms.

Soon, the little birds were all safe, and the little boy and his mom had a bright and wonderful day! +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Darryl and Emma, who lived in a nice town near the beach. Every day, the friends would play together in the sand. + +One day, Emma said to Darryl, "Let's stay until sunset. We can watch the sky turn blue!" + +Darryl agreed and they ran back to their families to ask permission. After they got permission, they ran down to the beach. + +The beach was beautiful. The sun was bright yellow and the sky changed from light blue to dark blue as the day turned to night. + +Unfortunately, it was time for dinner. Darryl said, "Let's stay a bit longer until the sun sets." + +As the sun set, they both watched the sky turn a beautiful deep blue. It was like magic! + +Emma said, "I am glad we stayed until sunset. It was so peaceful and pretty. I'm glad we got to serve the sun goodbye." + +Darryl smiled and agreed. Then, they ran back home and shared the story of the beautiful sunset with their families. +Once upon a time there was a boy. His name was Tom and he was three years old. Tom loved playing outside, so one day he decided to take a walk around his garden. He saw some jam in an old jar and he decided to pick it up. The jam was so yummy and it made him smile. + +Suddenly, Tom heard a noise coming from the other side of the garden. It was a chicken! The chicken was clucking and it led Tom to a tidy spot near the pond. There were lots of worms and bugs. Tom was so excited and he wanted to pick them all up! + +Tom's mom saw him and she said, "Tom, don't go near the pond. You could get hurt." + +Tom replied, "But Mom, the chicken led me to this spot. Can I please pick up the bugs and worms?" + +Tom's mom smiled and said, "Ok, but be careful!" + +Tom had a great time picking up the bugs and worms. When he was done he took the jar of jam and brushed himself off. Tom's garden was looking very tidy and he was so happy! +It was a sunny day in summer and Jimmy was playing in his garden. He was running around and playing with his toy cars when he heard the sound of the ice cream van. He jumped up and ran to the gate and shouted for his mum. + +"Mummy, mummy! Can I have an ice cream please?" + +Mummy remembered a time when summer days were never the same. + +"Jimmy, do you remember why we can't get ice cream together each summer?" she asked. + +Jimmy looked up at his mum and shook his head. + +"It's because of the war, Jimmy. The war made the world a sad and dangerous place, so we can't get ice cream like we used to." + +When Jimmy heard this, he put his hand on his little yellow car and remembered the stories his mummy had told him. He understood why they couldn't play together like they used to. + +But even though the war had changed things, Jimmy still enjoyed the special time he spent in his garden each summer day. His yellow car was still his favourite, and he still dreamed of a day when all the world could be happy and safe. +Once upon a time, there were two baby turtles. Both wanted to be special, so they thought of ways to show how unique they were. + +Turtle One thought of adding a beautiful, glittery shell to his back. He raced to the market to buy a shell and everyone cheered when they saw it. + +Turtle Two found an unusual shell. It wasn't as shiny as Turtle One’s, but he was proud of how special it was. He decided to add the unusual shell to his back too. + +The turtles went for a walk and noticed that other turtles were jealous of their new additions. + +“It’s not about what we have, it’s about how we feel about our choices. That’s what makes us special,†said Turtle Two. + +The moral of the story is that we don't have to do what everyone else does to be special. Everyone can be special by being true to themselves. +Mum had an idea. She wanted to take her daughter to the hairdresser's for a great new haircut. She asked her excitedly, "Shall we go and get you a great new haircut?" + +Her daughter nodded eagerly, smiling as she said, "Yes, please!" + +So, Mum and her daughter headed to the hairdresser's. When they got there, the hairdresser said, "Ooh, this little one looks lovely. What kind of haircut would you like?" + +Mum and her daughter discussed together and they decided they wanted something really special and fun. The hairdresser nodded, saying, "I can do something really great. Just wait, and you will see!" + +The hairdresser then got to work, cutting and styling the daughter's hair. Soon, it was done and the daughter's face lit up with delight. She said, "Wow! This is amazing!" + +Mum agreed, saying, "The hairdresser did a great job. You look beautiful!" + +The daughter was so pleased and thanked the hairdresser with a hug. Mum was so happy too and paid the hairdresser, giving her a generous tip for the great work. The hairdresser just beamed and yielded a bright smile in response. +Jim and Tilly were playing in the park. Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. + +Tilly: “What is that noise?†+Jim: “It's a missile.†+ +Just then, the missile reversed and flew away. + +Tilly: “That was strange! What do you think happened?†+Jim: “I don't know, but we should be careful and go home.†+ +At home, Jim and Tilly asked their parents why the missile had reversed. + +Mom: “Someone launched a healthy missile, but it reversed and flew away before it could do any harm.†+Jim: “That's good! I'm glad it didn't cause any trouble.†+Once upon a time there was a small town with a giant who lived in a big castle. Every morning he would look out from the castle and see the people going about their day. One morning, he decided to deliver a special gift to the people. The gift was life and it came in the form of a magical box. + +The giant knocked on every door in town, carrying the box and delivering life to everyone. Everyone was so excited and happy to receive it! They thanked the giant for his generous gift. + +When the giant had finished delivering all the boxes he noticed one small house still without a box. He pushed open the door to find a little girl, who was very restless. She had been waiting all day for the gift of life and was so relieved when it had finally been delivered. + +The girl thanked the giant and gave him a big hug. The giant smiled and said, "Now you have life, be happy and never be restless again". + +The girl was filled with joy and was so thankful to have received the gift of life. With a twinkle in his eye, the giant slowly walked back to his castle and waved goodbye to the little girl. +Once upon a time there was a little rabbit who loved exploring the world. One day the rabbit decided to explore a cave. It was a very dark cave and the rabbit was scared because it was so quiet. + +When the rabbit reached the middle of the cave, it saw a light shining. The rabbit wanted to go towards the light but it was scared. + +The rabbit started to cry and said, "I'm scared and I don't want to go any closer." + +Suddenly, a small voice came from the light, "Don't be scared. You can escape from the cave if you are ready." + +The rabbit felt a little bit better and was ready to escape. It quickly moved towards the light and made it to the outside of the cave. + +The sun was shining and the rabbit was so happy it had managed to escape from the dark cave. From then on, the rabbit was brave and went on many more great adventures. +Once upon a time there was a happy family. They had everything they needed to be content: food, water and coal to heat their house. + +One day the father went to the market to supply more coal. Just as he was finishing his purchase, he noticed a man running off without paying for his coal. + +The father called out, "Hey! You need to pay for that!" But the man just kept running. + +The father was very angry and frustrated. But he turned to his children and said, "It's never right to take things that don't belong to us. Always be honest and fair. That's what makes us happy." + +The children nodded and from that day on, the father always made sure to supply coal and also good values to his family. +Once upon a time there lived a little boy called Tom. He wanted to be the fastest runner ever, so every day he went out to practice. He ran and ran until he was tired. + +On one windy autumn day, Tom decided to light a candle and make a wish. He said to the candle, "I want to be the fastest runner ever!" He was very persistent, but he was not sure if the candle would help. + +Suddenly, Tom heard a mysterious voice. It said, "If you want to be the fastest runner ever, you have to practice with speed." + +Tom was very excited. He kept practicing with speed every day and before he knew it, he was much faster than before. + +Tom was delighted and ever since that day, he has been running as fast as he can. He never gives up and is always very persistent. +One day, Bob and his mom took him to the park. It was a hot day, and the trees were big and green. Bob ran to the playground. He was so excited to play. + +Bob saw a big sign by the playground. It said "Dare to play!" Bob looked at his mom and wondered what it meant. + +Mom said, "Let's see what it means. It sounds like a challenge." + +Bob took a deep breath. He ran to the smelly slide and started to climb up. Then Bob stopped. The slide seemed too high. He wanted to go down, but he didn't dare. + +Bob looked at his mom for help. She smiled and said, "I know you can do it, Bob. The sign said to dare to play so let's dare to go down the slide." + +Bob breathed in, filled with courage. He carefully slid down the smelly slide. When Bob got to the bottom, he looked up at the sign and smiled. He had done it! His mom hugged him tight. They had both dared to play! +One day, a bird went soaring high in the sky. He had always been an amazing flyer, but he hadn't seen anything as beautiful as this. He felt like he could go forever! + +Suddenly, a terrible gust of wind hit him unexpectedly and sent the bird flying out of control. He quickly got caught in a huge, tangled knot of twigs and branches near the ground. He struggled and struggled to get away but it was no use. It was so disgusting being trapped there. + +The bird began to cry out for help. + +"Please help me," he pleaded. + +But no one ever came. + +So the bird stayed stuck in the knot, day after day, until eventually, he died. The bird never knew the freedom of the sky again. +Once upon a time there was an old man who lived all by himself. One morning, he decided to go outside and take a walk in the wild jungle. As he was walking, he noticed a little vase on the ground and thought it was pretty. He stopped, picked it up and tried to clean it off but he couldn't quite get it clean. + +Then, he heard a voice from the bushes saying, "Raise it a few inches to the sky. It works better that way!" The old man was startled, but he decided to listen to the voice. He raised the vase up towards the sky and, to his delight, it immediately sparkled in the sunlight. + +The old man looked around to see who had given him this advice, but he saw no one. He thanked whoever had spoken to him and continued on his way. What a wild surprise! +Sam had a fine sheep. He loved it very much and was always so happy to take it for a walk in the park. One day Sam thought to store the sheep in the barn while he was out, so he carefully laid it down in the hay in the barn. + +Sam said to the sheep, "Don't worry. I'll be back soon. Be good and wait here for me." + +But the sheep didn't listen and it ran out of the barn. Sam quickly chased after it in the hope of catching it before it got away. However, the sheep ran so fast that it disappeared out of sight forever. + +Sam was very sad. He knew he would never see his fine sheep again and he could not understand why it ran away. He went back to the barn and sadly went home. +Once upon a time there were two best friends, Sam and Ned. Sam and Ned were both very small, only a few years old. + +One day, Sam and Ned decided to go to camp together. They packed their lunch and headed off. On the way, Sam said, “I'm hungry! I thought camp would be fun, but I'm so hungry!†+ +Ned smiled and said, “Let's stop and get something tasty!†So, they stopped at a store and Ned ordered some tasty food for lunch. They enjoyed the food and then continued on to camp. + +When they arrived, their camp friends cheered for them. Sam and Ned had an amazing day at camp, filled with fun and laughter. And thanks to the tasty food Ned ordered, they had enough energy for the entire day! +Once upon a time, there lived a cute little girl called Sarah. Everyday, Sarah liked to play in the park with her stuffed toys. One day at the park, Sarah saw a big lumber and said, “Hey, I wanna grab it!†She ran to the lumber and pulled it with all her might. When she managed to grab it, something strange happened. The lumber began to let out a smelly smell and Sarah could hear a noise coming from inside. + +Sarah looked inside the lumber and said, “Hello? Is anyone there?†To her surprise, a tiny voice answered, “Yes, I am here!" + +Sarah stepped back and asked, "Who are you?†+ +The little voice replied, “I am a little caterpillar living in this lumber. You see, my family and I found this smelly lumber and decided to make our house here. We really like it but ever since you grabbed the lumber our house has been wobbling!†+ +Sarah felt so sorry for the caterpillar and said, “I am sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you. Can I help make your home stronger?†+ +The little caterpillar said, “Yes, that would be great! We need some leaves and twigs from the park to make our lumber home stronger. Would you help us?†+ +Sarah immediately got to +Once upon a time, there was a silly shoe. It had laces, strings and lots of zig zags. One day, the shoe called out to the person who wore it. A young boy heard the call and picked up the shoe. He called out to the shoe asking what it wanted. The shoe replied, "I want to go on an adventure!" The little boy found it silly, but agreed. + +So the little boy and the silly shoe set off on the adventure. They explored fields, hills and even tall mountains. Everywhere the boy went, the shoe joined him. But soon night time was coming. So the little boy found a place for him and the shoe to sleep for the night. + +The next day, when the little boy awoke, he found the silly shoe was not where he left it. He looked everywhere but he could not find it. He called out to the shoe but there was no reply. Suddenly, he heard a voice on the other side of the mountain. It was the silly shoe! + +The shoe had found a way up to the peak of the mountain. It called down to the little boy and said, "Come up here! Let's explore this place together!" The little boy looked up and smiled. He quickly ran up to the top of the mountain and joined the shoe. They explored the amazing peak of the mountain together, and the little boy found out it was a silly shoe after all! +Once upon a time, there was a little red rabbit named Jack. He was very curious and always wanted to explore new places. + +One day, Jack decided to go for a walk in the meadow. He hopped further and further away, until he reached the edge of the meadow. There he found a big hole in the ground. + +Jack peeped into the hole and saw something shiny inside. Excited to see the shiny thing, he jumped down the hole. But oh no! The shiny thing was a sharp red stone. Jack got a big scratch on his stomach! + +He moaned and wailed over his wound. Tears rolled down his scruffy cheeks. + +Just then, a friendly squirrel popped his head out of the hole. "What's the matter Jack?" he asked. + +Jack sniffled and pointed to his belly. The squirrel took one look and said, "That looks really sore. Let Uncle Squirrel make it better." He then rubbed Jack's belly with a soft paw until the wound was all healed. + +Jack smiled with relief. "Thank you!", he said. + +The squirrel winked. "It's all part of being a good neighbour," he said. + +And so Jack learned a valuable lesson - to be careful and watch out for things that can hurt him.

He said, "Your Majesty, why a dead bird?" + +The King replied, "Because I want to remind my people of how fragile life can be." + +The smart man was moved by the King's words. He quickly started to print the picture of the dead bird. Everyone was amazed by the beautiful picture and the King's kind message to his people. + +The end. +Once upon a time there were two friends named Sam and Jack. Sam loved playing with the stripes on the floor. He would move the stripes around and create all kinds of shapes. One day, Jack was very upset and he wanted Sam to not touch the stripes anymore. Sam was very sad and he asked Jack why he was so upset. Jack replied, "It doesn't make me happy when you move the stripes around. We need to keep them in their original shape." + +Sam understood and he stayed away from the stripes. Jack was happy that Sam understood. After a few days, Sam asked Jack if he could move some of the stripes. Jack was happy that Sam asked and said, "Yes! We can move some of the stripes. It's okay to change things sometimes. We just have to be careful not to make too many changes." + +Sam and Jack moved some of the stripes together. They created new shapes with the stripes and laughed together, happy that they could all make changes together. They learned that we should be careful and thoughtful when making changes, but sometimes changes can be fun! +One day, John went to visit the original alligator. He wanted to see the alligator as he had never seen one before. When he arrived, he saw the alligator sunbathing in the sun. + +John said, "Hello alligator!"

It was very fast. John was so scared that he started to cry. + +Just then, John's mom came to visit. She saw the alligator running and quickly picked up John. She started running away from the alligator. + +The alligator chased them until they made it safely back home. John felt relieved and thanked his mom for saving him. His mom said, "It's ok, John. Let's not visit any original alligators again!" +Once upon a time there was a red tiger. He was very big and fierce. But he was also very sad. He wanted to play with somebody, but there was nobody around. + +He was walking through the forest, looking for someone to talk to. Suddenly, he saw a little boy. He went over to him and started to poke him. + +The little boy was scared at first, but then he started to laugh. He liked the red tiger, so he started to poke him back.

"Sure thing!" she said. + +They went to the toy shop and Mama said, "Pick out whatever you want, Nate. Mama will buy it for you." + +Little Nate was so excited. He ran around the shop, admiring all the toys. Suddenly, he saw a thief run in and snatch a toy. "Mama! The thief! He's taking the toy!" + +Mama ran forward and grabbed the thief.

Nora started to panic. + +Just then, her mother appeared. She knelt down beside Nora and said, "Let me try."

"It was a rare sound, but now it's gone." + +Nora hugged her mom and thought to herself that maybe going on an adventure wasn't so bad after all. +Sam was feeling very nervous. He had gone to the store to buy some food for his family. He was hoping he could find pasta, his mom's favorite meal.

He thanked the store owner and said goodbye. + +Little did Sam know, this moment was about to be remembered for a long time. From then on, the store owner and Sam had a special bond.

He knew this crystal ball was filled with magic and dreamy adventures! +One day, two children, Jack and Jill, were playing together in the park. Then, Jack had an idea. + +Jill: "What's your idea Jack?" + +Jack: "Let's gather as much money as we can. We could go to a rich country and find lots of money there!" + +Jill: "Wow, that's a great idea! How will we do it?" + +Jack: "I think we should go to the maple-tree and collect coins from the ground. Then we can buy a ticket to the rich country!" + +So the two children went to the maple tree and started to gather coins from the ground. Soon, they had gathered enough coins to buy a ticket for the rich country. After a few days of travelling, Jack and Jill arrived at the rich country. + +Although they were very excited, they still managed to keep their eyes peeled for more coins! Everywhere they went, they saw coins glinting in the gaps between the cobblestones and on the window sills.

While walking, they saw something interesting among the branches of a tree. It was a small infant bird! + +The children studied the bird closely. It was barely moving, and they wondered if it was hurt. "What can we do?" asked one child. + +The other child thought for a second and then said, "Let's examine the bird. Maybe we can help it." So, they carefully approached the bird and examined it carefully. + +Fortunately, nothing was wrong with it. It was only exhausted from its long journey. After a few moments, the bird opened its eyes and flew away. + +The two children were so happy for the bird, but soon enough it was time to go home. And so, the two friends hugged goodbye, knowing that even in the gloomiest of days special surprises can be found. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved trains. Every day she would dream of hopping on one and taking a big adventure through the country. + +Today was special; she had saved up enough money for the train trip she had been wishing for. She was totally excited and ran to the train station to buy her ticket. + +But when the girl arrived, she was met with a huge problem: everything around her was icy! She had to walk very slowly and carefully, or she'd slip and fall! + +Suddenly, she heard a voice. It was the train conductor. He said, "Hope and keep wishing! I know this train will be here soon." + +The little girl smiled, and sure enough, after a few minutes the temperature began to rise and the ice melted away. The train was here! + +The girl hopped onto the train and began her exciting journey. She couldn't wait to see all the places that the train would take her. She hoped, and sure enough, she returned home with memories to last a lifetime. +Once upon a time there was a boy called Joe. He was just three years old and cute. Joe loved to play with his friends. One day, he had a party and all his friends came to his house. + +At the party, everyone seemed really happy, except Joe. He seemed embarrassed. His friends were all wearing nice clothes with bows. But Joe didn't have a bow. All the other kids noticed and Joe felt more embarrassed. + +One of Joe's friends, Kevin, noticed Joe and said, "Don't feel bad, Joe. Look, my mom made me a bow and you can have it." + +Joe smiled and was very happy. He thanked Kevin and said, "That's very kind of you." + +As Joe left the party, he thought about what had happened. He realised that even though he hadn't had a bow, his friends had still been kind to him. He smiled and thought, "Kindness is better than any bow." + +Moral: Kindness is better than any bow. +Once upon a time there was a naughty rabbit called Jack. He loved to go bouncing around the garden, scattering leaves and having lots of fun. One day he was playing with his friends and he got a bit too boisterous. Suddenly his belt broke with a loud snap and he could feel the buckle fall off and scatter across the grassy ground. + +Jack was very tired after all the running around he had been doing. He didn't realise how late it was getting and the sun had already gone down. So he hopped up to the porch where he saw his mama and papa waiting for him. + +Mama and Papa were cross with Jack, but they also felt sorry for him. His big ears drooped as he sadly told them about losing the buckle. Without a word, Mama scooted off and came back a few moments later. In her hand she had all the pieces of the belt buckle scattered around the garden. She had found them all and put the buckle back together so Jack could fix his belt. + +Jack cheered up and gave Mama and Papa a big hug. He promised to be more careful in future so he wouldn't scatter anything else around. After that they all went inside and Jack went to bed, feeling all cozy and safe in his own bed. +Once upon a time, there was a fierce castle. Inside the castle lived a princess named Sarah. Sarah wanted to explore outside the castle but her mom refused. + +"Mom, I want to explore outside the castle walls," Sarah asked pleadingly. + +"No, Sarah. It's too dangerous," her mom said firmly. "You must stay inside the castle walls." + +Sarah frowned. She wanted so badly to explore outside on her own. Then, she had an idea. + +"What about my dragon friend, Max?" she asked. "Max is fierce and he could protect me." + +Still, her mom refused. "No, Sarah," she said. "Max is not allowed outside the castle." + +Sarah was disappointed, but she knew her mom just wanted to keep her safe.
