It had a bow and a tag that said "For Ben and Lily, from Grandma and Grandpa". They felt a lot of wonder. What was inside the box? + +They looked at each other and smiled. They wanted to open the box and see their gift. But they also knew that they had to wait until their birthday, which was tomorrow. Their mom and dad had told them not to touch the box until then.

She dances with her doll, her dog, and her friends. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. + +One day, Lila finds a big pot in the kitchen. It is shiny and round and has a lid. Lila thinks it is a hat. She puts it on her head and starts to dance. She dances around the table, the chairs, and the fridge.

The butterfly flew higher and higher. + +Sara saw a big tree. The tree had many apples. She thought, maybe the butterfly likes apples. She picked an apple and broke it in half.

They wish they could fly too. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a small house made of wood and plastic where they kept their toys and snacks. One day, they saw a big spider on the wall of their house. They were scared of the spider and wanted it to go away. + +"Let's prepare some poison for the spider," Ben said. He took a bottle of water and poured some salt and pepper into it. He shook the bottle and said, "This will make the spider sick and die." + +Anna nodded and took the bottle from Ben. She opened the door of their house and saw the spider still on the wall. She threw the bottle at the spider, hoping to hit it. But she missed and the bottle hit a flower pot instead. The water spilled on the pot and the flower. + +"Oh no!" Anna cried. "We hurt the flower! It was so pretty and now it is sad!" + +Ben ran to Anna and saw the flower. It was wilting and turning brown.

We just wanted to get rid of the spider." + +Anna hugged him back and said, "I'm sorry, too, Ben. We should have left the spider alone. Maybe it was not so bad after all." + +They looked at the spider and saw that it had moved to another wall. It was spinning a web and catching some flies. It looked happy and busy. + +"Maybe the spider is not our enemy," Anna said. "Maybe it is our friend. It helps us by eating the flies that bother us." + +"Maybe you're right," Ben said. "Maybe we can share our garden with the spider. And maybe we can find a way to make the flower happy again." + +They decided to water the flower and give it some sunshine. They also decided to never prepare poison again. They learned that it was better to be kind and gentle than to be mean and angry. They played happily in the garden with their toys and snacks. And they made peace with the spider. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a whip.

They move away from the dog. + +"Stop, dog, stop!" Lily says. "We are not bad. We just want to play." + +But the dog does not stop. It chases Lily and Max. They run to the gate. They see a man. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog. + +"Rex, come here!" the man says. "Sorry, kids. He does not like whips. He thinks they are mean.

"I played with the slide and the swings and the balls. It was exciting!" + +"I had fun, too, Mom," Ben says. "I drew a tap. It was relaxing." + +Mom smiles and hugs them both.

They think it is a plane. + +"Let's fly to an island!" Lila says. + +"Yes, let's go!" Tom says. + +They get in the box and pretend to fly. They make noises like a plane. They look out of the window and see the sky and the clouds. + +"Look, there is an island!" Lila says. She points to a green spot in the water. + +"Wow, let's land there!" Tom says. + +They pretend to land on the island. They get out of the box and explore. They see trees and flowers and birds. They also see a house. + +"Who lives there?" Lila asks. + +"Maybe it is a pirate!" Tom says. + +They walk to the house. It is old and broken. The door is open. They peek inside. They see a man. He is old and has a beard and a hat. He is sleeping on a bed. + +"Hello, sir!" Lila says. + +The man wakes up. He sees Lila and Tom. He smiles. + +"Hello, little ones!" he says. "Who are you?" + +"We are Lila and Tom. We came from the sky. We flew in a plane!" Lila says. + +"A plane? What is that?" the man asks. + +"It is a big box that can fly!" Tom says. + +The man laughs. + +"That is amazing! You are very clever. Do you want to stay with me for a while? I can tell you stories about the island and the sea and the stars!" he says. + +"Yes, please!" Lila and Tom say. + +They sit with the man and listen to his stories. They are happy. They have found a new friend. +Lily liked to look at the magazine that her mom bought every week. It had many pictures of people and places and things that Lily did not see in her ordinary life. She liked to imagine that she was one of them, wearing pretty clothes and going on adventures. + +One day, she saw a picture of a girl who had wings and a wand. She was flying in the sky and making stars with her magic. Lily was amazed and wished she could do that too. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I have wings and a wand like her?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "That's a fairy, Lily. She's not real, she's just a story. But you can pretend to be a fairy if you want. You can use your imagination and believe that you have wings and a wand." + +Lily nodded and ran to her room. She found a paper and some crayons and made her own wings and wand. She taped them to her back and her hand and looked in the mirror. She felt happy and excited. She said to herself, "I'm a fairy, I'm a fairy! I can fly and make magic!" + +She jumped on her bed and waved her wand. She pretended that she was making stars and flowers and rainbows. She laughed and sang and had fun. She believed that she was a fairy and that anything was possible. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw some stones on the ground. Anna picked up a stone and threw it in the air. She laughed and said, "Look, Ben, I can make the stone fly!" + +Ben wanted to try too. He picked up a stone and threw it as hard as he could. But he did not look where he was throwing. The stone hit a big dog that was walking with its owner. The dog barked and the owner yelled, "Hey, what are you doing? You could hurt my dog!" + +Anna and Ben were scared. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They told her what happened. Mom was not happy. She said, "That was very bad. You should not throw stones at anyone. You could hurt them or make them angry. You need to say sorry to the dog and the owner. And you need to punish yourself. You cannot play in the park for the rest of the day. You have to sit on the bench with me and think about what you did." + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They did not want to hurt the dog or make the owner angry. They did not want to punish themselves. They wanted to play in the park. But they knew they did something wrong. They said sorry to the dog and the owner. The owner was nice and said, "It's okay. I know you did not mean it. But be careful next time. Stones are not toys. They can hurt." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They went back to the bench with mom. They sat quietly and thought about what they did. They learned their lesson. They decided to never throw stones again. They hoped the dog was okay. They wished they could play in the park again. But they knew they had to wait until tomorrow. They hoped tomorrow would be a normal day. +Lily liked to play the piano. She was a good musician. She could make many sounds with the keys. She liked to play songs for her family and friends. + +One day, Lily had to play in a big show. There were many people in the hall. They came to hear Lily and other musicians. Lily was very nervous.

She had big dolls and small dolls, dolls with long hair and dolls with short hair, dolls with dresses and dolls with pants. She loved all her dolls, but her favorite doll was Lily. Lily had blue eyes and yellow hair and a pink dress. Anna always took Lily with her when she went out. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom and Lily. She saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to join them, but she did not want to leave Lily alone. She asked her mom if she could hold Lily for her. + +"Mom, can you hold Lily for me? I want to play with the other kids." + +"Sure, Anna, I can hold Lily for you. But be careful and don't go too far, okay?" + +"Okay, mom, thank you!" + +Anna ran to the swings and waited for her turn. She saw a girl with brown hair and a green dress swinging high. She thought the girl looked nice and wanted to be her friend. She smiled at the girl and said hello. + +"Hello, I'm Anna. What's your name?" + +"Hello, I'm Zoe. Do you want to swing with me?" + +"Yes, please, I like to swing!" + +Zoe and Anna took turns on the swing and had fun. They talked about their favorite things and found out they had a lot in common. They both liked to play with dolls, to eat ice cream, and to watch cartoons. + +"Zoe, you are very nice. Do you want to be my friend?" + +"Anna, you are very nice too. Yes, I want to be your friend!" + +They hugged and laughed. They decided to play on the slide next. They ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. But when they reached the top, they saw something that made them stop. + +On the top of the slide, there was another doll. It was a big doll with curly hair and a purple dress. It had a tag that said "Ruby". It looked like a new and popular doll that many kids wanted. + +"Wow, look at that doll! It's Ruby! She's so pretty and cool!" Zoe said. + +"Wow, you're right! She's very pretty and cool! Who does she belong to?" Anna said. + +They looked around and saw a boy with red hair and a blue shirt sitting on a bench. He was holding a remote control and playing with a car. He did not seem to care about the doll. + +"Hey, that's Ben! He's in my class! He's very mean and rude! He always complains and makes fun of other kids! He doesn't like to share or play nice!" Zoe said. + +"Really? He sounds very bad! Why does he have Ruby? Does he like dolls?" Anna said. + +"No, he doesn't like dolls! He only has Ruby because he wants to show off and make other kids jealous! He thinks he's better than everyone else! He's very selfish and greedy!" Zoe said. + +"That's not fair! He doesn't deserve Ruby! He doesn't appreciate her or take care of her! He just leaves her on the slide! She could get dirty or lost or broken!" Anna said. + +"You're right! He doesn't deserve Ruby! We should do something! We should rescue Ruby and give her a good home!" Zoe said. + +They looked at each other and nodded. They had a plan. They grabbed Ruby and slid down the slide. They ran to Anna's mom and showed her the doll. + +"Mom, look! We found Ruby! She's a very popular doll! Can we keep her? Please, please, please!" + +Anna's mom looked surprised and confused. She did not know where the doll came from or who it belonged to. She did not want to upset the girls, but she also did not want to take someone else's toy. + +"Girls, where did you get Ruby? Did someone give her to you? Did you ask permission?" + +The girls looked at each other and lied. They did not want to tell the truth. They did not want to give Ruby back to Ben. They wanted to keep her for themselves. + +"Yes, mom, someone gave her to us. He said we could have her. He didn't want her anymore. He was very nice." + +Anna's mom did not believe them. She had a feeling they were not telling the truth. She saw Ben on the bench, looking angry and shouting. He had noticed that his doll was gone. He was looking for Ruby. He saw the girls with his doll and ran to them. + +"Hey, you! Give me back my doll! That's Ruby! She's mine! You stole her from me! Give her back now!" + +Ben tried to grab Ruby from the girls, but they held on +Ben and Mia were playing with their new toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, and blocks. They did not hear the rain outside getting louder and louder. + +Suddenly, their mom came in and said, "Quick, kids, we have to go upstairs! There is a flood outside and the water is coming in!" + +Ben and Mia were scared and confused. They did not know what a flood was. They grabbed their toys and followed their mom to the stairs. They saw water on the floor and on the couch. They wondered why the water was inside the house. + +Their mom told them to shut the door behind them. She said, "The door will keep the water out of our room. We have to wait until the rain stops and the water goes away. Then we can clean up and play again." + +Ben and Mia nodded and went to their room. They put their toys on their beds and hugged their mom. They hoped the flood would end soon and their living room would be dry again. They were glad they had their new toys and each other to keep them company. +Ben likes to collect things. He has a big box full of things he finds in the park, in the street, and in his house. He has rocks, leaves, feathers, buttons, and more. He likes to look at his things and sort them by color, shape, and size. + +One day, he goes to the park with his mom and sees a brown thing on the ground. It is furry and has a long tail. He thinks it is a toy and runs to pick it up. But the brown thing is not a toy. It is a squirrel! + +The squirrel is scared and angry. It makes a loud noise and bites Ben's hand. Ben drops the squirrel and cries. His mom comes and hugs him. She says, "Are you okay, Ben? That was not a toy. That was a live animal. You should not try to collect live animals. They can hurt you." + +Ben is sad and sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know. I thought it was a toy. I like to collect things. But I don't like to collect squirrels. They are mean and bitey." + +His mom smiles and says, "It's okay, Ben. I know you like to collect things. But you have to be careful and ask me before you touch something you don't know. Some things are not safe or nice to collect. Come on, let's go home and put some ice on your hand. And maybe we can find something else to collect on the way. Something that is not brown, furry, and bitey." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. It barks at them. + +Lily is scared. She runs to Ben and holds his hand. "Ben, I don't like the dog. It is loud and mean. Can we go away?" she says. + +Ben is brave. He tells Lily, "Don't worry, Lily. The dog is not mean. It is just happy. It wants to play with us. Maybe it is hungry. Do you have a snack?" + +Lily nods. She has a tasty apple in her bag. She gives it to Ben. Ben walks to the dog and says, "Hello, dog. Do you want an apple? It is tasty and good for you." + +The dog stops barking. It wags its tail and sniffs the apple. It takes a bite and chews. It likes the apple. It licks Ben's hand and wags its tail more. + +Lily sees that the dog is friendly. She smiles and walks to Ben and the dog. She pets the dog and says, "Hello, dog. You are nice and soft. What is your name?" + +The dog barks and wags its tail. It is happy to have new friends. Lily and Ben are happy too. They share the apple with the dog and play in the park. They are not scared anymore. They are having fun. +Lily liked to wonder about many things. She wondered why the sky was blue, why the grass was green, and why the moon was sometimes big and sometimes small. She wondered what her friends were doing, what her grandma was baking, and what her cat was dreaming. + +On Tuesday, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a big green slide that looked like fun. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She wondered how fast she could go down the slide. She sat on the top and looked around. She saw a boy with a green hat and a green bike. He waved at her and smiled. + +"Hi, I'm Max. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +Lily nodded and slid down the slide. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She liked the slide. She wondered if Max liked it too. + +They took turns on the slide and then rode their bikes around the park. They chased the birds and the squirrels and laughed a lot. They wondered what else they could do together. + +They became friends and decided to meet again on Thursday. They hugged and said goodbye. Lily was happy. She wondered what Max would bring next time. Maybe a green ball or a green book. She liked green. She liked Max. She liked Tuesday. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the snow in winter. They make snowmen and snowballs and snow angels. They laugh and have fun. + +One day, they see a big tree with red and green lights. It is very beautiful. They run to the tree and look at the shiny things on it. They see balls and stars and candy canes. They want to touch them. + +"Can we touch them?" Anna asks Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe they are not for us." + +They look around and see no one. They think it is okay to touch them. They reach for the balls and stars and candy canes. They feel smooth and hard and sticky. They smile and giggle. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is a man with a white beard and a red suit. He is holding a big bag. He looks at them and smiles. + +"Hello, children," he says. "Do you like my tree?" + +Anna and Ben are scared. They think they did something bad. They drop the shiny things and say sorry. + +The man laughs and says, "Don't be sorry. You are very sweet. I have a gift for you." + +He opens his bag and takes out two boxes. He gives one to Anna and one to Ben. They open them and see two hats. One is pink and one is blue. They are soft and warm. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Anna and Ben say. They put on the hats and hug the man. + +The man hugs them back and says, "You are welcome, welcome. Merry Christmas!" + +He tells them to go back to their parents and be good. He waves and walks away. + +Anna and Ben run back to their parents. They show them their hats and tell them about the man and the tree. Their parents are happy and surprised. + +Anna and Ben are happy too. They look at each other and smile. They lean in and kiss each other on the cheek. They blush and giggle. + +They think winter is beautiful. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and brown and has a loud bark. + +"Look, a dog!" Ben says. "Can we pet it?" + +"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe it is not nice." + +They walk closer to the dog. The dog sees them and runs to them. It jumps and licks their faces. Anna and Ben laugh. The dog is nice. + +They play with the dog for a while. They throw a stick and the dog brings it back. They rub its ears and belly. The dog wags its tail. + +But then, something bad happens. The dog sees a squirrel and chases it. The squirrel runs to a tree and climbs up. The dog tries to follow, but it can't. It hits the tree and falls down. The dog cries. + +"Oh no, the dog is hurt!" Anna says. "What can we do?" + +Ben panics. He doesn't know what to do. He looks around and sees a man. The man is wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He has a leash in his hand. + +"Help, help!" Ben shouts. "The dog is broken!" + +The man hears Ben and runs to the dog. He is the dog's owner. He picks up the dog and checks it. He smiles. + +"Don't worry, kids," he says. "The dog is not broken. He just has a bump on his head. He will be fine. Thank you for playing with him. He likes you." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They hug the dog and say goodbye. The man and the dog leave the park. Anna and Ben go back to the swing and slide. They are glad the dog is not broken. They hope to see him again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They are three years old. They like to do many things together.

And you are very brave, too," mom says. + +Ben wants to try the swing. He asks mom to push him. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He smiles and says, "Whee, this is fun!" + +Mom nods and says, "You are having fun, Ben. And you are very strong, too." + +Lily and Ben also play in the sandbox. They make a castle with a bucket and a shovel. They decorate it with sticks and stones. They are proud of their work. + +"Look, mom, we made a castle!" Ben says. + +"You did, Ben. And it is very unique, too," mom says. + +Lily agrees and says, "Yes, it is unique. No one else has a castle like ours." + +Mom hugs them and says, "You are right, Lily. You are both unique and special. And I love you very much." + +Lily and Ben hug mom back and say, "We love you, too, mom." + +They enjoy their day at the park. They are happy and grateful. They are a unique and loving family. +Lila loved to play with her toy plane. She liked to make it fly in the air and make noises like a real plane. She wanted to be a pilot when she grew up and fly to many places. + +One day, she saw a big plane in the sky. It was shiny and white and had a red stripe. She wondered who was flying it and where it was going. She asked her mom, who was sitting on a bench nearby. + +"Mom, who is in that plane?" she said. + +Her mom looked up and smiled. "That is a plane for rich people, Lila. They pay a lot of money to fly in it. They have a pilot who takes them where they want to go." + +Lila was curious. "What is rich, mom? And what is money?" + +Her mom explained. "Rich means you have a lot of money, Lila. Money is what you use to buy things you need or want. Some people have more money than others, and some people have less. But money is not the most important thing in life, Lila. There are other things that make you happy, like love and family and friends." + +Lila nodded. She understood a little bit, but not everything. She looked at her toy plane and hugged it. She loved her plane, and she loved her mom. She did not need to be rich to be happy. She said, "Mom, I want to be a pilot, but not for rich people. I want to fly for fun and see the world. Can I do that?" + +Her mom hugged her back and kissed her cheek. "Of course you can, Lila. You can be anything you want to be, as long as you work hard and remain kind and brave. I am very proud of you, Lila. You are my little pilot." + +Lila smiled and felt warm and happy. She thanked her mom and played with her plane some more. She imagined flying to many places and seeing many things. She was not rich, but she had a rich imagination. And that was enough for her. +Lily and Tom like to play with models. They have many models of cars, planes, animals and people. They make stories with their models and have fun. + +One day, Lily and Tom go to the park with their models. They find a big sandbox and start to build a city with their models. They put cars on the roads, planes in the sky, animals in the zoo and people in the houses. + +But then, a big boy comes to the sandbox. He sees Lily and Tom's models and laughs. He says, "What are these? These are not models. These are toys for babies. You are babies. You are ignorant. Models are big and real. Like this." He shows them a model of a rocket that he has in his backpack. + +Lily and Tom feel sad and angry. They say, "No, you are ignorant. These are models too. They are small and cute. We like them. You are mean. Go away." + +The big boy does not listen. He grabs Lily's model of a plane and throws it in the air. It falls and breaks. Lily cries. Tom shouts, "Stop it! You are bad. You have no manners. Give us back our models." + +The big boy tries to take Tom's model of a car, but Tom holds it tight. He pushes the big boy away. The big boy falls and drops his model of a rocket. It breaks too. The big boy cries. + +A lady comes to the sandbox. She is the big boy's mother. She sees what happened and scolds the big boy. She says, "What did you do? You broke your model and their models. You were ignorant and rude. You have to say sorry and share. Models are for everyone." + +The big boy says sorry to Lily and Tom. He gives them back their models. He asks them if they want to play with his model of a rocket. Lily and Tom say yes. They fix their models and his model. They play together and have fun. They are not ignorant anymore. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a magic wand in their room. It was shiny and had a star on the end. They wondered what it could do. + +"Let's try it!" Tom said. He pointed the wand at Lily's doll and said, "Magic wand, make the doll talk!" + +Nothing happened. Lily laughed. "That's silly, Tom. Dolls can't talk. Let me try." She took the wand from Tom and pointed it at his car. "Magic wand, make the car fly!" + +Suddenly, the car lifted off the ground and zoomed around the room. Tom and Lily were amazed and happy. They clapped and cheered. They took turns using the wand to make their toys do funny things. + +But they did not know that their mom was watching them from the door. She was angry and scared. She did not like magic. She thought it was bad and dangerous. She snatched the wand from Lily's hand and said, "What are you doing with this? Where did you get it? This is not a toy. This is a magic wand. You are not allowed to use magic. You are in big trouble. I will punish you both. Go to your bed now!" + +Tom and Lily were frightened and sad. They did not understand why their mom was so mad. They liked the magic wand. They thought it was fun and good. They did not want to go to their bed. They wanted to play with their toys. They cried and begged their mom to let them keep the wand. + +But their mom did not listen. She took the wand and threw it in the trash. She made Tom and Lily go to their bed. She locked the door and left them alone. Tom and Lily hugged each other and sobbed. They wished they had never found the magic wand. They wished their mom was not so mean. They wished they could have some magic to make them happy again. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play dress-up. They have many hats and shoes and coats. They pretend to be famous people. Sometimes they are singers, sometimes they are pilots, sometimes they are kings and queens. + +One day, they find a big box in the attic. It has many old things inside. They see a shiny buckle. It is gold and has a star on it. They think it is very pretty. They want to get it. + +"Let me have it!" Anna says. She tries to grab the buckle. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. He pulls the buckle away. + +They start to fight. They tug and push and shout. The buckle flies out of their hands. It lands on the floor. It breaks into two pieces. + +They stop fighting. They look at the buckle. They feel sad. They broke the pretty thing. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "I was mean." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna says. "I was greedy." + +They hug each other. They pick up the pieces of the buckle. They try to fix it. They can't. They decide to share it. They each keep one piece. They put them on their hats. They pretend to be famous cowboys. They smile and laugh. They are happy. +Tim and Anna were playing in the yard with their toy cars and dolls. They liked to make up stories and pretend they were on adventures. They heard a loud gobble from behind the fence. They stopped and looked at each other. + +"What is that?" Tim asked. + +"I don't know. Let's go see," Anna said. + +They walked to the fence and peeked over. They saw a big bird with brown feathers and a red thing on its neck. It was a turkey. The turkey saw them and gobbled again. It flapped its wings and ran towards them. + +"Ah! It's a monster!" Tim shouted. + +He and Anna were fearful. They dropped their toys and ran back to the house. They slammed the door behind them and hugged each other. + +"Mom! Dad! There's a monster in the yard!" Tim cried. + +Their mom and dad came to see what was wrong. They saw the turkey outside the window. They laughed. + +"That's not a monster, kids. That's a turkey. It's our neighbor's pet. He likes to wander around sometimes. He's harmless," their dad said. + +"Really?" Tim and Anna asked. + +"Really. He's just curious. He won't hurt you. Do you want to go say hello to him?" their mom asked. + +Tim and Anna looked at each other. They realized they were silly. The turkey was not a monster. He was a friend. They nodded. + +"Okay. But can we bring some bread for him?" Tim asked. + +"Sure. That's very nice of you," their mom said. + +They took some bread and went back to the yard. The turkey gobbled happily. He ate the bread from their hands. He let them pet his feathers. He was soft and warm. + +"Hi, turkey. We're sorry we were scared of you. You're a good bird," Anna said. + +The turkey gobbled again. He liked Tim and Anna. They liked him too. They played with him until it was time to go inside. They said goodbye and waved. The turkey waved back with his wing. They smiled. They had a new friend. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to count how many cars, dolls, and blocks they had. Lily had more cars than Tom, but Tom had more dolls than Lily. They both had the same number of blocks. + +"Let's count our toys again," Lily said. "Maybe we have more now." + +"Okay," Tom said. "You count your cars, and I count my dolls." + +They started to count their toys out loud. One, two, three, four, five... + +But they did not know that their cat, Max, was watching them from the sofa. Max was a nosy cat. He liked to see what Lily and Tom were doing. He also liked to eat tuna. He smelled tuna in the kitchen. He jumped off the sofa and ran to the kitchen. + +Lily and Tom heard Max running. They stopped counting and looked at him. + +"Where are you going, Max?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe he wants to play with us," Tom said. + +They followed Max to the kitchen. They saw him on the table, trying to open a can of tuna. + +"Max, no!" Lily shouted. "That is not your tuna. That is Mom's tuna. She will be angry if you eat it." + +Max looked at Lily and Tom. He did not care. He wanted the tuna. He used his paw to push the can off the table. + +The can fell on the floor with a loud bang. The tuna spilled out of the can. Max jumped off the table and started to lick the tuna. + +Lily and Tom ran to the can. They tried to pick it up and put the tuna back in. But it was too late. The tuna was all over the floor. + +"Oh no," Lily said. "What will we do?" + +"Mom will be home soon," Tom said. "We have to clean this up." + +They looked for a cloth or a paper towel. But they could not find any. They only found some napkins. They used the napkins to wipe the tuna off the floor. But the napkins were not enough. The floor was still messy. + +They heard the door open. Mom was home. + +"Hi, kids," Mom said. "What are you doing in the kitchen?" + +Lily and Tom looked at Mom. They looked at Max. They looked at the floor. They did not know what to say. They felt bad. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Lily said. "We were counting our toys, and Max was nosy. He wanted your tuna, and he made a mess." + +Mom looked at the can, the tuna, and the napkins. She looked at Lily, Tom, and Max. She was not happy. But she was not angry either. She knew that Lily and Tom did not mean to make a mess. And she knew that Max was a hungry cat. + +"It's okay, kids," Mom said. "I'm glad you tried to clean it up. But next time, please keep an eye on Max. And don't let him on the table. He might get hurt." + +"Yes, Mom," Lily and Tom said. + +They hugged Mom and said they were sorry again. Mom hugged them back and said she loved them. She gave them a kiss and a smile. + +She also gave Max a pat and a piece of tuna. She loved him too. Even if he was a nosy cat. +Sara and Ben like to play with their dolls. They have a big house for them, with many rooms and things. One day, Sara and Ben find that their dolls are sad. Their faces are dirty and their clothes are torn. Sara and Ben want to make them happy again. + +They go to their mom and ask for help. Mom says they can use some powder and water to clean their faces. She gives them a bowl and a cloth. Sara and Ben take the powder and water and go to their dolls. They gently wipe their faces with the cloth. The dirt comes off and the dolls look better. + +But their clothes are still torn. Sara and Ben wonder how to fix them. They remember that mom has a sewing kit in her room. They ask mom if they can use it. Mom says yes, but they have to be careful with the needles. She shows them how to repair the clothes with the needles and the thread. Sara and Ben try to do the same. They stitch the holes and the rips. The clothes look new again. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They hug their dolls and say sorry for making them sad. They put them back in their house and play with them. The dolls are happy too. They smile and say thank you to Sara and Ben. Sara and Ben say you're welcome and kiss them. They are good friends. +Tom was a big hero. He liked to help people and animals. One day, he saw a cat on a tree. The cat was scared and meowed. Tom wanted to save the cat. + +He got a ladder and climbed up the tree. He reached for the cat, but the cat was shy. It did not recognize Tom and scratched his hand. Tom was hurt, but he did not give up. He talked to the cat in a soft voice. + +"Hello, cat. I am Tom. I am here to help you. You are safe with me. Please come to me. I will take you down the tree." + +The cat listened to Tom and calmed down. It saw that Tom was kind and brave. It recognized Tom as a friend and let him hold it. Tom smiled and carried the cat down the ladder. + +The cat's owner was waiting for them. She was a little girl who loved her cat very much. She was very worried when her cat ran away and climbed the tree. She was very glad when she saw Tom and her cat. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a big hero. You saved my cat. I am so happy." + +She hugged Tom and her cat. Tom was happy too. He felt good to help someone. He was a big hero. +Ben and Lily liked to play near the factory. The factory made big things from metal and wood. Sometimes, they saw workers come out with tools and boxes. They wanted to see what was inside the factory. + +One day, they saw a hole in the fence. They looked at each other and smiled. They crawled through the hole and ran to the big door. They pushed it open and went inside. + +The factory was dark and loud. They saw machines and pipes and wires. They smelled smoke and oil. They heard bangs and hisses and beeps. They felt scared and curious. + +They walked around and touched things. Ben found a shiny knife. He picked it up and looked at it. It was sharp. He cut his finger. He cried out. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" he said. + +Lily heard him and ran to him. She saw blood on his finger. She felt sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked. + +"It hurts, Lily. It hurts a lot." he said. + +"Let me see. Maybe I can help." she said. + +She took his hand and wrapped a piece of cloth around his finger. She hugged him and said. + +"Shh, shh, shh. It's okay, Ben. It's okay. We should go home. Mom will make it better." she said. + +They left the knife and ran to the door. They saw a man standing there. He was angry. He had a badge and a hat. He was a guard. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing here? This is a dangerous place. You could get hurt. You could get in trouble. You are not supposed to be here. Come with me." he said. + +He grabbed their arms and took them to his office. He called their moms. He told them what happened. Their moms came and picked them up. They were worried and mad. + +They scolded them and said. + +"Ben, Lily, you were very naughty. You should not go to the factory. It is not a place for children. It is not a place to play. You could have been hurt worse. You could have been lost. You could have been caught by a bad person. You are lucky the guard found you. You should say sorry to him. You should say sorry to us. You should promise to never do that again. Do you understand?" they said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They felt ashamed and sorry. They said. + +"Sorry, guard. Sorry, mom. Sorry, mom. We won't do that again. We promise." they said. + +They hugged their moms and went home. They learned their lesson. They never went to the factory again. They played in safer places. They were good children. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But soon they felt tired and yawned. + +"Let's nap on the couch," Ben said. "Mommy said we can nap there." + +"Okay," Lily agreed. "But I want to bring my watch. It is shiny and pretty." + +Ben nodded. He liked Lily's watch too. It had a pink strap and a flower on the face. He had a watch of his own, but it was blue and had a car on it. + +They grabbed their watches and climbed on the couch. They snuggled under a blanket and closed their eyes. They heard Mommy humming in the kitchen. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was Daddy coming home from work. He slammed the door and shouted, "Hello, everyone!" + +Ben and Lily woke up with a start. They felt scared and angry. Daddy was too harsh. He ruined their nap. + +"Daddy, you are mean!" Ben cried. "You made a big noise and woke us up!" + +"Yeah, Daddy, you are mean!" Lily echoed. "We were napping with our watches!" + +Daddy looked sorry. He did not mean to be harsh. He was just happy to see them. + +"I'm sorry, Ben and Lily," he said. "I did not know you were napping. I love you very much. Can I see your watches?" + +Ben and Lily calmed down. They loved Daddy too. They showed him their watches and told him about their game. + +Daddy smiled and hugged them. He said, "Your watches are very nice. And you are very smart. How about we make some cookies together?" + +Ben and Lily cheered. They liked cookies. They forgot about their nap and followed Daddy to the kitchen. Mommy joined them too. They had a good time. +One day, Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys and books and they liked to make up stories with them. Lily was pretending to be a princess and Ben was pretending to be a dragon. + +"Roar!" Ben said, jumping on the bed. "I am a big, scary dragon and I will eat you, princess!" + +"No, no, no!" Lily said, hiding under the blanket. "You are a nice dragon and you will be my friend!" + +They laughed and played until they heard a loud noise from the ceiling. It sounded like something was scratching and squeaking. + +"What is that?" Lily asked, looking up. + +"I don't know," Ben said, looking up too. "Maybe it is a mouse or a rat or a bat!" + +They felt scared and curious. They wanted to see what was making the noise. They got a chair and climbed on it. They reached for the ceiling and pushed a tile. + +Suddenly, a lot of dust and dirt and bugs fell on them. They saw a disgusting, furry creature with big teeth and claws. It was a raccoon! + +"Ah!" Lily and Ben screamed, jumping off the chair. "It is a raccoon! It is a raccoon!" + +They ran out of the room and called their mom. She came and saw the mess and the raccoon. She was not happy. + +"What have you done?" she asked, shaking her head. "You have made a hole in the ceiling and let a raccoon in!" + +"Sorry, mom," Lily and Ben said, feeling sorry. "We wanted to see what was making the noise." + +Mom sighed and called dad. He came and helped her get rid of the raccoon and fix the ceiling. He told Lily and Ben to be careful and not touch the ceiling again. + +Lily and Ben nodded and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their toys and books and not with the ceiling. They also decided to be nice to the raccoon and not call it disgusting. They hoped it would find a new home. +Anna loves music. She likes to sing and dance and play with her toy drum. She also likes to sign. Sign is when you use your hands to talk. Anna has a friend, Ben, who cannot hear. He signs with Anna and they have fun. + +One day, Anna and Ben go to the park. They see a big truck. The truck has a loud horn. It goes beep beep beep. Anna and Ben cover their ears. The truck is too noisy. They do not like the truck. + +They run away from the truck. They find a quiet spot under a tree. They sit on the grass and look at the sky. They see birds and clouds and a plane. They sign to each other. They make up a story about the plane. The plane is mighty. It can fly high and fast. It can go anywhere. + +Anna and Ben pretend they are on the plane. They sign where they want to go. Anna wants to go to the zoo. She signs the animals she likes. She likes the lion and the monkey and the elephant. Ben wants to go to the beach. He signs the things he likes. He likes the sand and the water and the fish. + +They laugh and smile. They are happy. They have music in their hearts. They do not need the truck. They have each other. They are friends. +Tom was a big dog with black fur. He liked to run and play in the park with his friend, Sam, a small dog with brown fur. One day, they saw a new dog in the park. He was bald, with no fur at all. He looked sad and lonely. + +"Who is he?" Tom asked Sam. + +"I don't know. Let's go and say hello," Sam said. + +They ran towards the bald dog, who was sitting under a tree. He looked up and saw them coming. He was scared and tried to hide. + +"Hi, we are Tom and Sam. What is your name?" Tom said. + +The bald dog did not answer. He just whimpered and scratched his skin. + +"Are you okay? Why are you scratching?" Sam asked. + +The bald dog looked at them with big eyes. He said, "I have fleas. They bite me and make me itch. They also make me lose my fur. No one wants to be my friend because of them." + +Tom and Sam felt sorry for the bald dog. They observed his skin and saw the tiny fleas jumping around. + +"That's not fair. Fleas are mean and nasty. We want to be your friend. Maybe we can help you get rid of them," Tom said. + +"Really? You do?" The bald dog said. + +"Of course. We are nice and friendly. Come on, let's go to the pond. The water will make the fleas go away," Sam said. + +They took the bald dog to the pond and splashed him with water. The fleas did not like the water and ran away. The bald dog felt better and happier. He smiled and thanked Tom and Sam. + +"You are welcome. What is your name, by the way?" Tom asked. + +"My name is Ben. Thank you for being my friends. You are the best," Ben said. + +They played together in the park and had fun. They became good friends and did not care about fur or fleas.

The bubbles flew in the air. They were shiny and round. Lily and Max laughed and clapped. + +"Look, a big bubble!" Lily said. She pointed to a bubble that was bigger than her head. She ran to catch it. + +But Max had a different idea. He picked up a stick and threw it at the bubble. The bubble popped. The water and soap scattered everywhere. Some of it landed on Lily's face and hair. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Lily said. She was wet and sticky. She rubbed her eyes. + +"Sorry, Lily. I just wanted to see what would happen," Max said.

Timmy said with a big grin on his face. + +And so, Lily and Timmy became the best of friends and they laughed and played together every day. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a big tower. It was so tall, it reached the sky. The tower was made of fragile bricks, so it needed to be careful not to break. One day, a little bird landed on the tower. It wanted to stretch its wings and fly away, but it was scared it would break the tower. So, it decided to fly away and come back when the tower was stronger. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. He loved to play outside with his friends. One day, Timmy and his friends were playing hide-and-seek. Timmy was hiding behind a big tree when he saw a little bird sitting on a branch. He gazed at the bird for a long time. + +Suddenly, Timmy's mom called him for lunch. Timmy didn't want to leave the bird, but his urge to eat made him go back home. During lunch, Timmy told his mom about the bird he saw. His mom said that birds are beautiful creatures, but it's important not to disturb them. + +Later that day, Timmy went back to the tree to see the bird again. But this time, the bird flew away as soon as Timmy got close. Timmy felt a little uncomfortable because he didn't want to scare the bird. He decided to learn more about birds so he could be a good friend to them. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to play hide and seek.

They scolded her for hiding for too long and not telling them where she was.

Even if you see something amazing, you should never stare for too long and forget about your responsibilities. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to eat oatmeal every morning for breakfast. One day, while she was playing in the park, she saw a little bird who had hurt its wing.

So, she gently picked up the little bird and brought it home. She made a cozy nest for it and gave it some oatmeal to eat. + +Lily took good care of the bird, but sadly, the bird's injuries were too severe and it didn't survive. Lily was very sad and cried a lot. Her mommy hugged her and told her that even though the bird didn't make it, she did the right thing by trying to save it. The moral of the story is that it's always important to be kind and helpful, even if things don't turn out the way we want them to. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in her backyard. One day, Lily saw a mosquito flying around her. She didn't like mosquitoes because they bite and make her itchy.

Anna and Ben see apples, bananas, bread, cheese, milk, and more. They want to touch and taste everything. + +"Mom, can we have this?" Anna asks, pointing to a cake. + +"No, sweetie, that is too much sugar. We need healthy food," Mom says. + +"Mom, can we have that?" Ben asks, pointing to a toy. + +"No, honey, that is not food. We need food for our tummies," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They do not like the store. They want to go home. They start to cry and whine. + +"Shh, shh, please be quiet and good," Mom says. "We are almost done. Look, I have some food for you. Here are some crackers and cheese. You can eat them in the car." + +Anna and Ben stop crying and whining. They take the crackers and cheese from Mom. They say thank you. They are happy. They like the food. They are quiet and good. Mom smiles. She pays for the food. They leave the store. They go home. They eat more food. They are full and sleepy. They take a nap. They dream of cake and toys. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big pipe in the park. The pipe is dark and long. They like to go inside the pipe and pretend they are in a cave. + +One day, Tom and Sam go to the park. They see a new boy. His name is Ben. Ben is big and mean. He sees the pipe and says, "This is my pipe. Go away!" + +Tom and Sam are sad and scared. They want to play in the pipe. They say, "No, this is our pipe. We play here every day. You go away!" + +Ben is angry. He pushes Tom and Sam. He says, "I don't care. This is my pipe now. You are too small and weak. I am big and strong. I can do what I want!" + +Tom and Sam fall down. They are hurt and cry. They run away from the pipe. They look for help. They see a lady. She is nice and kind. She sees Tom and Sam and says, "What happened? Are you OK?" + +Tom and Sam tell the lady about Ben. They say, "He is bad. He took our pipe. He pushed us and hurt us. He doesn't care about us. He is mean." + +The lady says, "That is not nice. That is not fair. He should not do that. He should share and be kind. He should care about others. Come with me. I will talk to him." + +The lady goes to the pipe. She sees Ben. She says, "Hello, I am the park ranger. I take care of the park and the people who play here. I heard you took this pipe from Tom and Sam. Is that true?" + +Ben says, "Yes, it is true. This is my pipe. I like it. I don't want to share. I don't care about Tom and Sam. They are too small and weak. I am big and strong. I can do what I want!" + +The lady says, "That is not right. That is not good. You should not take things that are not yours. You should not hurt others. You should not be selfish. You should be respectful. You should care about how others feel. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He feels bad. He says, "I would feel sad and angry. I would not like it. I am sorry. I was wrong. I will give back the pipe. I will say sorry to Tom and Sam. I will be nice and share. I will care about them." + +The lady says, "That is good. That is better. I am glad you understand. Come on, let's go find Tom and Sam and make friends." + +Ben follows the lady. He sees Tom and Sam. He says, "I am sorry. I was bad. I took your pipe. I pushed you and hurt you. I didn't care about you. I was mean. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends?" + +Tom and Sam look at Ben. They see he is sorry. They say, "We forgive you. We can be friends. You can play with us. You can share our pipe. We can care about each other." + +Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you. You are nice. You are kind. You are good friends. I am happy." + +They all hug. They all go to the pipe. They all play in the pipe. They all have fun. They all care. +One day, Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They saw a big pile of junk near the fence. There were old cans, broken toys, and dirty clothes. Lily and Ben wanted to explore the junk and see what they could find. + +"Look, a shiny ball!" Lily said, picking up a metal sphere. "Maybe it's a magic ball that can do tricks." + +"No, it's not. It's just junk. It's useless and dirty," Ben said, kicking the ball away. "You are ignorant. You don't know anything." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like Ben's words. She wanted to explain why she liked the ball, but Ben did not listen. He just laughed and ran away. + +Lily sat down and hugged the ball. She felt something move inside the ball. She heard a beep and a voice. + +"Hello, I am a robot. I was thrown away by my old owner. But you found me and saved me. Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and smart." + +Lily smiled and felt happy. She had a new friend. She did not care what Ben said. She knew he was wrong. The ball was not junk. It was a robot. And it was magic. +Tim and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Tim has a big truck with a loud motor. Mia has a doll with a nice dress. Tim likes to make his truck go fast and make noise. Mia likes to comb her doll's hair and talk to her. + +"Vroom, vroom, vroom!" Tim says, as he drives his truck around the sofa. "Beep, beep, beep!" He pretends to honk the horn. + +"Shh, Tim, you are too loud!" Mia says, as she covers her ears. "You are scaring my doll. She is trying to sleep." + +"I don't care, Mia. My truck is fun. You are boring." Tim says, as he drives his truck closer to Mia and her doll. + +"Stop, Tim, stop!" Mia says, as she tries to protect her doll. "You are mean. Go away!" + +Tim does not stop. He laughs and drives his truck over Mia's doll. The doll's dress gets torn and her hair gets tangled. + +"NO, TIM, NO!" Mia screams, as she sees her doll get hurt. She picks up her doll and hugs her. "You are bad. You broke my doll. I hate you!" + +Mia's scream is so loud that their mom hears it from the kitchen. She runs to the living room and sees what happened. + +"Tim, what did you do?" Mom says, as she looks at Mia's doll. "You made Mia cry. You ruined her doll. Why did you do that?" + +"I don't know, Mom. I was just playing." Tim says, as he shrugs his shoulders. "It was just a doll." + +"It was not just a doll, Tim. It was Mia's doll. She loves her doll. You hurt her feelings. You need to say sorry." Mom says, as she picks up Tim and puts him in the corner. "You need to think about what you did. You need to be nice to your sister." + +Tim sits in the corner and feels sad. He looks at Mia and her doll. He sees that Mia is still crying and her doll is still broken. He feels sorry for what he did. He wishes he could make it better. + +"Mia, I'm sorry." Tim says, as he gets up from the corner. "I was wrong. I should not have hurt your doll. Can I help you fix her?" + +Mia looks at Tim and sees that he is sorry. She wipes her tears and nods her head. + +"Okay, Tim. You can help me." Mia says, as she smiles a little. "But you have to be gentle. And you have to be quiet." + +"Okay, Mia. I will be gentle. And I will be quiet." Tim says, as he walks to Mia and her doll. "Maybe we can find some glue and some tape. And maybe we can find a new dress. And maybe we can comb her hair. And maybe we can make her happy again." + +Mia and Tim work together to fix the doll. They find some glue and some tape. They find a new dress. They comb her hair. They make her happy again. + +"Look, Mom, we fixed the doll!" Mia and Tim say, as they show their mom the doll. "She is pretty again. And she is happy again." + +Mom looks at the doll and smiles. She hugs Mia and Tim and kisses them. + +"You did a good job, Mia and Tim. I'm proud of you." Mom says, as she praises them. "You fixed the doll. And you fixed your problem. You are nice to each other. You are good siblings." + +Mia and Tim hug each other and smile. They are happy again. They play with their toys in the living room. Tim plays with his truck. Mia plays with her doll. They share and take turns. They talk and laugh. They are nice to each other. They are friends. +Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Tom ran behind a big tree and waited for Lily to find him. He was very quiet and still. + +But then he smelled something bad. He looked around and saw smoke and fire near the trash cans. He was scared and wanted to tell Lily. He ran out from behind the tree and shouted, "Lily, Lily, fire, fire!" + +Lily heard Tom and saw the fire too. She was scared too and wanted to get away. She ran to Tom and they held hands. They looked for a grown-up to help them. They saw a man with a red hat and a hose. He was a fireman. He saw Lily and Tom and waved to them. + +"Come here, kids, it's safe here," he said. He sprayed water on the fire and made it smaller and smaller. He smiled at Lily and Tom and said, "You did a good job finding me. You are very brave." + +Lily and Tom were glad. They hugged the fireman and thanked him. He gave them stickers and candy. They were happy and safe. They decided to play hide and seek again, but not near the fire. +Ben and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, animals and more. But sometimes they make a big mess in their room. Mommy and Daddy are not happy when they see the mess. + +One day, Mommy and Daddy tell Ben and Mia to organize their toys. They say, "You have to put your toys in the right places. Cars go in the blue box, dolls go in the pink box, blocks go in the yellow box and animals go in the green box. If you organize your toys, you can find them easily and play with them again." + +Ben and Mia nod and start to organize their toys. They put the cars in the blue box, the dolls in the pink box and the blocks in the yellow box. But when they come to the animals, they have a problem. They have a big, hairy lion toy that does not fit in the green box. It is too big and too hairy. + +"What do we do with the lion?" Ben asks Mia. + +"I don't know," Mia says. "Maybe we can put it on the bed." + +"No, we can't," Ben says. "The lion is the king of the animals. He needs a special place." + +"Where can we find a special place for the king?" Mia wonders. + +They look around the room and see a shelf on the wall. The shelf is empty and has enough space for the lion. + +"Look, there is a shelf!" Ben says. "We can put the lion on the shelf. He can see all the other animals from there. He can be the king of the shelf." + +"That's a good idea!" Mia agrees. "Let's do that." + +They lift the lion and put it on the shelf. The lion looks happy and proud. He roars softly. + +"Roar!" Ben and Mia roar back. They laugh and clap their hands. + +They finish organizing their toys and show Mommy and Daddy. Mommy and Daddy are very proud of them. They hug and kiss them and say, "You did a great job! You are very smart and helpful. We love you very much." + +Ben and Mia smile and say, "We love you too. And we love our toys. Especially the king of the shelf." +Ben and Lily liked to play in the sand by the sea. They made castles and tunnels and moats. Sometimes they found shells and stones and seaweed. They were happy. + +One day, they saw something shiny in the sand. They dug and dug until they saw a big metal box. It had a lock and a key. They wondered what was inside. They tried to open it, but it was too hard. + +They looked for help. They saw a man fishing on a distant rock. He had a bucket and a rod. They ran to him and showed him the box. He smiled and said he could help. He took the key and opened the lock. + +He lifted the lid and revealed what was inside. Ben and Lily gasped. It was full of shrimp! Big ones, small ones, pink ones, gray ones. They looked tasty and fresh. The man said he had caught them earlier and hid them in the sand. He said he was going to cook them for dinner. + +He asked Ben and Lily if they wanted some. They nodded eagerly. He said they could have some if they helped him carry the box. They agreed. They took the box and followed him to his house. He thanked them and invited them in. He cooked the shrimp and shared them with Ben and Lily. They ate and ate until they were full. They said it was the best shrimp they ever had. They were happy. +Lily did not like vegetables. She liked candy and cake and ice cream. But her mom said she had to eat vegetables every day. She said vegetables were good for her and made her strong and healthy. + +One day, Lily had a plan. She saw her mom give her a plate of vegetables for lunch. She saw her dog Spot under the table. She decided to give her vegetables to Spot. She thought Spot would like them and she would not have to eat them. + +She put some carrots and broccoli and peas on the floor for Spot. But Spot did not like vegetables either. He sniffed them and turned away. He barked and wagged his tail. He wanted something else to eat. + +Lily's mom heard Spot barking. She looked under the table and saw the vegetables on the floor. She saw Lily's empty plate. She was very angry. She said, "Lily, did you give your vegetables to Spot? That is very naughty. You have to eat your vegetables. They are good for you. And Spot needs his own food. He cannot eat your food." + +Lily felt bad. She did not want to make her mom angry. She did not want to make Spot unhappy. She did not want to lie. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I don't like vegetables. I thought Spot would like them. But he didn't. Can I have something else to eat?" + +Lily's mom was still angry, but she was also sad. She said, "Lily, I know you don't like vegetables. But you have to try them. They are good for you. And you have to be honest. You cannot give your food to Spot. He needs his own food. He cannot eat your food. You have to eat your food." + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, mom. I will try to eat my vegetables. And I will not give them to Spot. And I will be honest. I'm sorry, mom. I love you." + +Lily's mom hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Lily. I'm glad you are sorry. And I'm glad you will try to eat your vegetables. And I'm glad you will not give them to Spot. And I'm glad you will be honest. You are a good girl, Lily." + +Lily smiled. She felt better. She said, "Thank you, mom. Can I have a hug from Spot too?" + +Lily's mom said, "Of course, Lily. Spot loves you too. He is a good dog. He just doesn't like vegetables." + +Lily and her mom and Spot hugged. They were happy. They ate their lunch. Lily tried to eat her vegetables. She did not like them, but she ate them. Spot ate his own food. He liked it. He did not eat vegetables. They were all good. +Sara liked to talk to her dragon toy. She named him Fluffy and he was very polite. He always said please and thank you and sorry. Sara and Fluffy played every day in her room. They had tea parties and read books and sang songs. + +One day, Sara's mom said they had to go to the store. Sara wanted to bring Fluffy with her, but mom said no. She said Fluffy was too big and might get lost or dirty. Sara was sad, but she listened to mom. She gave Fluffy a hug and told him to wait for her. + +While Sara was gone, Fluffy felt lonely. He missed Sara and wanted to talk to her. He looked around the room and saw a bird outside the window. He thought the bird might want to talk to him. He opened the window and said hello to the bird. + +The bird was surprised to see a dragon in the window. He was scared at first, but then he saw that Fluffy was polite. He said hello back and asked Fluffy his name. Fluffy told him his name and said he was Sara's friend. The bird said his name was Blue and he liked to fly and sing. + +Fluffy and Blue started to talk. They talked about their favorite things and their families and their dreams. They found out they had a lot in common and became friends. They laughed and had fun until they heard Sara's mom's car in the driveway. + +Fluffy said goodbye to Blue and thanked him for talking to him. Blue said goodbye to Fluffy and said he was happy to meet him. He said he would come back and visit him again. Fluffy closed the window and went back to his spot on the bed.

Fluffy was glad to see Sara and thanked her for the sticker. He told her he made a new friend and talked to a bird. Sara was amazed and proud of Fluffy. She said he was a very good and polite dragon. She said she loved him very much. Fluffy said he loved her too. They snuggled and played until it was time for dinner. +Lila and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw many birds on the pond. Lila liked the white ones with long necks. Mom said they were doves. Ben liked the ducks that quacked and splashed. + +Lila wanted to feed the doves. She had some bread in her pocket. She broke it into small pieces and threw them on the grass. The doves came closer and pecked the bread. Lila smiled and reached out her hand. She wanted to touch a dove. + +But the doves were shy and delicate. They did not like Lila's hand. They flew away and made a loud noise. Lila was sad and scared. She ran back to Mom and hugged her. Mom said it was okay. She said the doves were not used to people. She said Lila should be gentle and quiet with them. + +Ben came over with some corn. He said he found it in a bin. He said the ducks liked corn. He asked Lila if she wanted to feed the ducks. Lila nodded and took some corn. She followed Ben to the edge of the pond. The ducks came closer and ate the corn. Lila and Ben laughed and clapped. + +The sun was setting and the air was cold. Lila and Ben started to shiver. Mom said it was time to go home. She said they had a lot of fun at the park. She said they could come back another day. She said they should say goodbye to the birds. Lila and Ben waved and said bye-bye to the doves and the ducks. The doves and the ducks waved back with their wings. Lila and Ben smiled and hugged Mom. They went home happy and warm. +Lila loves to ride her bike. She rides fast and slow, up and down, and around and around. She likes to feel the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She has a bell on her bike that goes ding-ding when she pushes it. + +One day, Lila sees a big hill. She wants to ride down the hill and go faster and faster. She pushes her bike to the top of the hill and gets ready to go. She feels excited and happy. + +But then, something bad happens. Lila's bike goes too fast and she loses control. She tries to stop, but she can't. She falls off her bike and hits the ground. She hurts her knee and her elbow and her lip. She feels pain and fear and sadness. She cries and cries. + +Her mom hears her cry and runs to her. She picks her up and hugs her. She says, "It's okay, Lila. I'm here. You're safe. You're brave. I love you." She wipes her tears and kisses her lip. She puts a band-aid on her knee and her elbow. She says, "Let's go home and have some ice cream. That will make you feel better." + +Lila nods and snuggles with her mom. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I was silly. I went too fast. I won't do it again." Her mom says, "It's okay, Lila. You made a mistake. We all make mistakes. You learned something today. You can ride your bike again, but be careful and slow down. I'm proud of you for trying something new." Lila smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. You're the best. I love you." They go home and have some ice cream and cuddle on the couch. Lila feels better and happy again. She still loves to ride her bike, but she remembers to be careful and slow down. +Lily liked to play with her spoon. She used it to make noises, to dig in the dirt, and to pretend it was a rocket. One day, she took her spoon to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She left her spoon on the bench and ran to the slide. + +But when she came back, her spoon was gone. She looked everywhere, but she could not find it. She felt sad and angry. She started to cry. She asked her mom, "Where is my spoon? Who took my spoon?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I don't know, honey. Maybe someone else liked your spoon and took it. Or maybe a bird or a squirrel took it. I'm sorry you lost your spoon. But you should not leave your things alone. Someone might take them or lose them. You have to be careful with your things." + +Lily did not listen to her mom. She cried louder and louder. She said, "I want my spoon! I want my spoon! It's not fair! It's not fair!" + +Her mom tried to calm her down, but Lily did not stop crying. She did not want to play anymore. She did not want to go home. She did not want to do anything. She just wanted her spoon. + +The other kids at the park saw Lily crying. They felt sorry for her, but they also felt annoyed. They did not like her noise. They did not like her attitude. They did not want to play with her. They said, "She is a crybaby. She is a spoilsport. She is a meanie. We don't like her." + +Lily heard what they said. She felt more sad and angry. She cried even louder. She said, "You are mean! You are mean! You took my spoon! You took my spoon!" + +But they did not take her spoon. They did not know where her spoon was. They did not care about her spoon. They just wanted her to stop crying and go away. + +Lily did not stop crying. She did not go away. She stayed at the park, crying and yelling, until it was dark. Her mom was worried. She said, "Lily, we have to go home. It's late. It's cold. It's dangerous. Please, stop crying and come with me." + +But Lily did not listen to her mom. She said, "No! No! No! I want my spoon! I want my spoon!" + +Her mom was very worried. She did not know what to do. She tried to pick up Lily, but Lily kicked and screamed. She tried to talk to Lily, but Lily did not hear her. She tried to find her spoon, but it was nowhere to be seen. + +Then, something bad happened. A big dog came to the park. It saw Lily crying and yelling. It thought she was a toy. It ran to her and bit her. It hurt her a lot. It made her bleed. It made her cry more. + +Her mom saw the dog and screamed. She ran to Lily and tried to save her. She fought with the dog and made it go away. She picked up Lily and hugged her. She said, "Lily, Lily, are you okay? I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." + +Lily was not okay. She was hurt. She was scared. She was sorry. She said, "Mom, mom, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was bad. I was stupid. I want to go home. I want to go home." + +Her mom said, "It's okay, honey. It's okay. We'll go home. We'll go to the doctor. We'll make you better. I love you. I love you." + +They left the park and went to the car. They did not see the spoon. The spoon was still on the bench. The spoon was lonely. The spoon was sad. The spoon wished Lily would come back and play with it. But Lily never came back. She never saw her spoon again. + +The end. + +Moral: Don't be greedy and selfish. Don't cry over small things. Listen to your mom. Be careful with your things. Be nice to others. Or you might lose what you love and get hurt by what you don't. +Sara loved pink. She had a pink dress, a pink hat, a pink bike, and a pink doll. She wanted everything to be pink. She did not like other colors.

She said she only wanted to play with her pink doll. + +Her mom sighed. She said, "Okay, Sara. You can play with your doll. But I will go on the slide. Maybe you will change your mind later." She left Sara on the bench and climbed up the slide. She smiled and waved at Sara. She said, "Watch me, Sara. Whee!" + +Sara watched her mom go down the slide. She saw her mom have fun. She saw her mom laugh. She saw her mom land on a big pile of leaves. She saw her mom get up and brush off the leaves. She saw her mom look at her clothes. She saw her mom gasp. + +Sara gasped too. She saw that her mom's clothes were not the same as before. They were not blue and green and white. They were pink. All pink. The leaves had dyed her mom's clothes pink. Sara could not believe it. She thought it was a magic slide. She thought it was the best slide ever. + +She ran to her mom. She hugged her mom. She said, "Mom, you look so pretty. You look like me. You look like pink. I love you, Mom. And I love the slide. Can I go on the slide too?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Yes, Sara. You can go on the slide. But remember, it is not a magic slide. It is just a regular slide.

You are very smart. You learned a new word from the dictionary. But where did you get the dictionary from?" + +Tom says, "From my room. It is my book." + +Mom says, "No, Tom. That is not your book. That is dad's book. He needs it for his work. He writes with the dictionary. You cannot take his book without asking. You have to replace it. That means you have to put it back where it was." + +Tom feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not know. I will replace it. I will put it back in my room. I will be tidy. I will not take dad's book again." + +Mom hugs him. She says, "It's okay, Tom. I know you did not mean to. You are a good boy. You can read the dictionary with dad later. He will teach you more words. But now, you have to replace it. And then you can read your own books. You have many books in your room. You can learn from them too." + +Tom nods. He takes the dictionary. He goes to his room. He replaces it. He puts it on the shelf. He makes his room tidy. He picks a book. He reads it. He is happy. He loves books. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play dress-up with their clothes and toys. One day, they find a big box in the attic. The box has many things inside: hats, scarves, shoes, glasses, and more. + +"Look, Lily, a pirate hat!" Ben says. He puts the hat on his head and pretends to have a sword. "Arrr, I am a pirate! Give me your gold!" + +"No, Ben, I am a princess!" Lily says. She wears a pink dress and a crown. She holds a wand. "You can't have my gold! Go away!" + +They play and laugh and have fun.

"That is not a toy! That is Mommy's watch! She loves it!" + +But Ben does not listen. He keeps turning the knob. He turns it too hard. The knob comes off. The watch falls to the floor. It makes a loud noise. + +"Oh no!" Ben says. He looks at the watch. It is more broken. He feels bad. He is sorry. He does not know what to do. + +"Lily, I'm sorry!" Ben says.

He wanted to go back to the water. Lila and Tom saw that Bob was sad. They loved Bob, but they wanted him to be happy too. They decided to take him back to the shore. + +They carried Bob in a bucket.
