Sometimes, she likes them for dinner too. + +One day, Anna sees a big waffle on the table. It is very high. It has many layers. It has honey and butter and berries and cream. Anna thinks it is the most beautiful waffle in the world. + +She asks her mom, "Can I have the waffle, please?" + +Her mom smiles and says, "That is not a waffle, Anna. That is a cake.

She thinks it must taste like a waffle. + +She says, "But I want the waffle, mom. It is my birthday. I can have what I want." + +Her mom shakes her head and says, "No, Anna. You can have a piece of cake, not the whole cake. The cake is for everyone. We have to share. And it is not a waffle, it is a cake. Do you understand?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She understands that she has to share. She understands that the cake is for everyone. But she still thinks it is a waffle. + +She says, "Okay, mom. I will have a piece of cake. But can I call it a waffle?" + +Her mom laughs and says, "Sure, Anna. You can call it a waffle. Happy birthday, my sweet waffle." +Anna and Ben moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Anna wanted to unpack her toys and books. Ben wanted to unpack his games and cars. Mom and Dad wanted to unpack the dishes and clothes. + +They worked hard to unpack the boxes. They put things in their rooms and in the kitchen and in the living room.

They ate at the table and talked about the new house. They liked the big yard and the friendly neighbors. + +After dinner, they wanted to watch TV. Dad plugged in the TV and turned it on. But the TV did not work. It only showed blue. No pictures, no sounds, only blue. Anna and Ben were sad. They wanted to watch their favorite shows. + +Dad said, "Don't worry, kids. The TV is broken, but I can fix it. Maybe it needs new wires or batteries. I will call the TV man tomorrow and he will help us. For now, we can read some books or play some games. We have many things to do in our new house." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They understood. They picked some books and games from their boxes. They sat on the couch with Mom and Dad. They read and played and laughed. They forgot about the blue TV. They were happy to be together in their new house. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with toys, draw pictures and read books. One day, Lily asked Ben if he wanted to visit her house after school. Ben said yes, he was very happy. + +Lily's mom picked them up and drove them to her house. She gave them some juice and cookies and told them to have fun. Lily and Ben went to Lily's room, where she had many toys and books. They decided to play with the dolls and the cars. + +Lily had a big bottle of glue on her desk. She used it to make crafts and stick things together. Ben saw the glue and had a playful idea. He took the glue and poured some on Lily's doll's hair. He thought it would be funny to make the doll look silly. He did not tell Lily what he did. + +Lily did not notice the glue on her doll. She was busy playing with the cars. She made them go fast and make noises. She had fun with Ben. After a while, they decided to switch toys. Lily gave Ben the cars and took the doll. + +She was shocked when she saw the glue on her doll's hair. It was sticky and hard. She could not comb it or style it. She felt sad and angry. She asked Ben why he did that. Ben said he was sorry, he just wanted to play a joke. He did not think it would hurt the doll. + +Lily did not accept his apology. She said he was mean and rude. She said he ruined her doll and her fun. She told him to go away and never come back. She started to cry. Ben felt bad and ashamed. He wished he did not do that. He said he was sorry again and left. + +Lily's mom heard the crying and came to see what happened. She saw the glue on the doll's hair and understood what Ben did. She hugged Lily and tried to comfort her. She said she would try to fix the doll's hair. She also said that Ben made a mistake, but he was still her friend. She said that friends sometimes do silly things, but they can forgive each other and learn from their mistakes. She asked Lily if she wanted to call Ben and talk to him. Lily thought about it and nodded. She realized she missed Ben and wanted to play with him again. She picked up the phone and dialed his number. + +The moral of the story is: Don't play with glue or other things that can damage your friend's toys. Be respectful and careful with your friend's belongings. If you make a mistake, say sorry and try to make up for it. If your friend makes a mistake, be kind and forgiving. Friendship is more important than toys. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to go on the subway with Mom. The subway is a big train that goes under the ground. It makes a loud noise and goes very fast. + +One day, Mom takes them to the zoo. They have to take the subway to get there. Lily and Ben are excited. They want to see the animals. Mom gives them each a ticket. They have to put the ticket in a slot. Then they can go through a gate. + +Lily puts her ticket in the slot. The gate opens. She runs through. Ben tries to do the same.

She goes back to help him. She pushes a button. A man comes out. He is wearing a blue uniform. He works for the subway. He says, "What's the problem?" + +Ben points to his ticket. He says, "My ticket is stuck. I can't go through. Lily is on the other side. I want to go with her." + +The man smiles. He says, "Don't worry. I can fix it. I have a special tool. It can get your ticket out. Then you can go through. You can join your sister. You can go to the zoo." + +He takes out a tool. It looks like a pair of scissors. He puts it in the slot. He twists it. He pulls out Ben's ticket. He gives it back to Ben. He says, "Here you go. Try again." + +Ben puts his ticket in the slot. The gate opens. He runs through. He hugs Lily. He says, "Thank you, Mr. Subway Man. You are very nice." + +The man says, "You're welcome. Have fun at the zoo." + +Mom says, "Let's go, kids. The subway is coming. We have to get on." + +Lily and Ben follow Mom. They get on the subway. They find a seat. They look out the window. They see the lights and the tunnels. They are happy. They are not jealous. They are twins. They love each other. +Sara and Tom were playing in the yard with their dog, True. True was a big, brown dog who liked to run and jump and dig. Sara and Tom loved True very much, but sometimes he made a lot of mess. + +"True, stop digging in the dirt!" Sara said. "You are getting filthy!" + +Tom laughed. "He is just having fun, Sara. Let him dig. He is a good dog." + +Sara frowned. "But Mom will not permit us to bring him inside if he is filthy. She will be angry. And we have to give him a bath. That is hard work." + +Tom shrugged. "We can clean him later. Come on, Sara. Play with us. True wants to play fetch. Look, he has a stick." + +Sara looked at True. He was wagging his tail and holding a stick in his mouth. He looked happy and cute. Sara felt a little sorry for him. Maybe he was bored in the yard. Maybe he needed some fun. + +"Okay, Tom. I will play with you and True. But only for a little while. Then we have to clean him. Promise?" + +Tom nodded. "Promise. Come on, True. Let's play fetch!" + +Sara, Tom, and True ran and played in the yard. They threw the stick and True fetched it. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the dirt and the mess. They were happy. + +But then they heard Mom's voice. She was coming home from work. She saw them in the yard. She saw True. She saw how filthy he was. + +"Sara! Tom! What have you done? Look at True! He is filthy! How could you permit him to dig in the dirt like that? He can't come inside like that! He needs a bath right now! And so do you!" + +Sara and Tom looked at each other. They looked at True. They looked at Mom. They knew they were in trouble. They wished they had listened to Sara. They wished they had cleaned True earlier. They were not happy. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and blocks. One day, they had a row. Tom wanted to play with the red car, but Sam had it first.

They were very sad and angry. + +Mom came and saw the broken car and the crying boys. She was not happy. She asked them what happened. They told her their row. She shook her head. + +"You were both ignorant," she said. "You did not share or listen to each other. You broke the car and hurt your friendship. That is not good." + +She gave them each a hug and a tissue. She told them to say sorry and accept their mistake. She also told them to fix the car together and play nicely. + +Tom and Sam looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said sorry and accepted their mistake. They hugged and said they were still friends. They fixed the car together and played nicely. They were happy again. + +Mom smiled and gave them a cookie. She was proud of them. She said they learned a good lesson. She said they were good boys. They thanked her and shared the cookie. They were happy and grateful. +Lily and Ben liked to go to the zoo with their mom. They liked to see the animals and learn their names. They liked the monkeys best. The monkeys were funny and smart. They made noises and played with each other. + +One day, Lily and Ben saw a new monkey in a cage. He was big and brown and had a long tail. He looked sad and scared. Lily and Ben felt sorry for him. They wanted to make him happy. + +"Mom, can we release the monkey?" Lily asked. "He does not like the cage. He wants to be free." + +"No, sweetie, we can't do that," mom said. "The monkey belongs to the zoo. The zoo people take care of him. He is not used to the outside. He might get hurt or lost." + +"But mom, he is not popular. The other monkeys do not play with him. They are mean to him. They throw things at him and bite him. He is lonely," Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She did not know what to say. She looked at the zoo sign. It said the monkey was a rare and endangered species. He came from a faraway land. He was very valuable and important. + +Lily and Ben did not understand. They only saw a sad monkey. They wanted to help him. They waited until mom was busy looking at her phone. Then they sneaked to the cage. They found a latch and opened it. They smiled and waved at the monkey. + +"Come on, monkey, you are free!" they said. "You can go wherever you want. You can be happy." + +The monkey looked at them. He did not smile or wave back. He did not understand them. He was angry and afraid. He saw a chance to escape. He jumped out of the cage. He ran towards the exit. He did not care about the people or the animals. He only wanted to get away. + +Lily and Ben followed him. They thought he was their friend. They thought he would thank them. They were wrong. The monkey was not their friend. He was wild and dangerous. He saw them as enemies. He turned around and attacked them. He scratched and bit them. He made them cry and bleed. + +Mom heard the screams. She looked up and saw the horror. She dropped her phone and ran to her children. She tried to save them. But it was too late. The monkey had hurt them badly. They were not breathing. They were not moving. They were gone. + +Mom fell to the ground. She hugged her children. She sobbed and wailed. She wished she had watched them better. She wished she had stopped them. She wished she had never taken them to the zoo. + +The monkey did not care. He kept running. He reached the exit. He saw a big road. He saw cars and trucks. He did not know what they were. He did not know they were fast and hard. He did not know they could kill him. + +He ran across the road. He did not look. He did not stop. He did not make it. A truck hit him. He flew in the air. He landed on the pavement. He did not get up. He did not move. He was gone. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the park. Today, they see a big tree with many leaves. They run to the tree and sit under it. + +"Look, Lily, the sunshine is so bright!" Ben says. He points to the sky. "The sun is yellow and round. It makes everything warm and happy." + +"Yes, Ben, the sunshine is nice. But I like the shade too." Lily says. She touches the grass. "The grass is soft and green. It makes me comfortable and sleepy." + +They lie down on the grass and close their eyes. They listen to the birds and the wind. They feel the breeze on their faces. They smile and hold hands. + +They are happy under the tree. They are happy in the sunshine. They are happy with each other. +Lily and Max are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They swing, slide, run and laugh. They share their toys and snacks. They are very happy. + +One day, Lily has a brilliant idea. She says to Max, "Let's play hide and seek. You count to ten and I will hide. Then you find me." + +Max nods and says, "OK. I like hide and seek. You are good at hiding. But I am good at finding. Ready, set, go!" + +Lily runs away and looks for a good hiding spot. She sees a big bush with purple flowers. She thinks, "This is perfect. Max will never find me here." She crawls under the bush and waits. + +Max counts to ten and says, "Here I come!" He looks around the park and tries to find Lily. He checks behind the trees, under the benches, in the sandbox. He cannot find her. He thinks, "Where is Lily? She is very good at hiding. Maybe she is in the bush." + +He walks to the bush and peeks inside. He sees Lily's shoes and hair. He smiles and says, "I found you, Lily! You are in the bush!" + +Lily hears Max and giggles. She comes out of the bush and says, "You are right, Max! You are good at finding. You are very smart." + +Max and Lily hug and say, "You are my best friend. I love you." + +They are very happy. They decide to play hide and seek again. They take turns hiding and finding. They have a lot of fun. They are very close. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big round thing with many colors. It is a wheel. They run to the wheel and take turns to spin it. + +"Look, Lila, the colors are so pretty!" Ben says. + +"Yes, they are. They make me happy!" Lila says. + +They spin the wheel faster and faster. They laugh and clap their hands. + +Then they see a man with a basket. He has many red things in the basket. They are apples. He smiles and gives them each an apple. + +"Thank you, sir!" Lila and Ben say. + +They bite the apples. They are sweet and juicy. They have thick skins and crunchy flesh. + +"Yum, these are good apples!" Lila says. + +"I like them too. They are my favorite fruit!" Ben says. + +They sit on the grass and eat their apples. They watch the wheel spin and the colors change. They are happy and full. They hug each other and say: + +"We are good friends!" +Tim and Mia were twins who liked to play in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was the big armchair. They liked to climb on it, jump from it, and hide behind it. Sometimes they pretended it was a castle, a spaceship, or a monster. + +One day, their mom told them to behave while she went to the kitchen. She said she would make them a snack, but they had to be good and not make a mess. Tim and Mia nodded, but as soon as mom left, they ran to the armchair and started to play. + +"Let's be pirates!" Tim said. "I'm the captain and you're the mate. This is our ship and we have to fight the sharks!" + +"Okay!" Mia said. "But I want to be the captain too. You can be the mate." + +"No, I'm the captain!" Tim said. "You have to do what I say. Now, grab that pillow and throw it at the sharks!" + +Mia did not like that. She wanted to be the captain and throw the pillow. She grabbed the pillow and hit Tim with it. Tim got angry and hit her back. They started to fight over the pillow, pulling and pushing and shouting. + +They did not hear mom coming back from the kitchen. She had a tray with two cups of juice and two cookies. She was happy to see them playing, but when she got closer, she saw the mess they had made. The armchair was covered with feathers from the pillow. The floor was full of toys and books. The lamp was knocked over and the vase was broken. + +Mom was very mad. She put the tray on the table and yelled at them. "Tim! Mia! What have you done? Look at this mess! You did not behave at all! You are very naughty and rude! No snack for you! Go to your room right now!" + +Tim and Mia stopped fighting and looked at mom. They saw the juice and the cookies on the tray. They felt sorry and sad. They wanted to say sorry and have the snack, but mom did not listen. She took them by the hand and dragged them to their room. She closed the door and left them alone. + +Tim and Mia sat on their bed and cried. They did not like their room. It was small and dark and dry. They missed the armchair and the toys and the juice and the cookies. They wished they had behaved and played nicely. They learned their lesson, but it was too late. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They have many toys with them. Lily has a doll, a ball, and a book. Ben has a car, a train, and a puzzle. They are having fun. + +Then, Lily notices a new toy on the bench. It is a big teddy bear. It has brown fur, black eyes, and a red bow. Lily likes it very much. She runs to the bench and picks it up. + +"Look, Ben, look!" she says. "I found a new toy! It is so soft and cute! Can I keep it?" + +Ben follows her and sees the teddy bear. He is not happy. He thinks the teddy bear is his toy. He remembers that his mom gave it to him for his birthday. It is very important to him. + +"No, Lily, no!" he says. "That is not a new toy! That is my toy! My mom gave it to me! It is mine! Give it back!" + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They both want the teddy bear. They pull and tug and shout. They are not having fun anymore. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is their mom. She has come to pick them up. + +"What is going on here?" she asks. "Why are you fighting? What is that toy?" + +Lily and Ben stop and look at their mom. They are scared. They do not want to get in trouble. + +They tell their mom what happened. They tell her that they both like the teddy bear. They tell her that they both think it is theirs. + +Their mom smiles. She knows what to do. She hugs them and says: + +"I am sorry, Lily and Ben. There is a mistake. That teddy bear is not a new toy. And it is not Ben's toy either. It is a lost toy. Someone left it here by accident. It belongs to someone else. We have to find the owner and give it back. That is the right thing to do." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They did not know that the teddy bear was a lost toy. They did not mean to hurt anyone. They agree to help their mom find the owner. + +They put the teddy bear back on the bench. They look around for clues. They hope to see someone who is looking for the teddy bear. + +They also say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They are friends again. + +They decide to share their toys. Lily plays with Ben's car and train. Ben plays with Lily's doll and ball. They have fun again. + +They learn a lesson. They learn that toys are not as important as friends. And they learn to be kind and honest. They are happy. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big pear on the tree. They wanted to eat it. + +"Let's get the pear!" Sara said. + +"But it is too high. We can't reach it." Tom said. + +They saw a stick on the ground. They picked it up and tried to poke the pear. But the stick was too short. + +They saw a hose on the wall. They turned it on and tried to spray the pear. But the water was too weak. + +They saw a bottle on the table. It had a label that said "Shrink". They did not know what it meant. They opened it and smelled it. It smelled bad. + +"Yuck! This is ugly!" Sara said. + +"Maybe it can help us get the pear." Tom said. + +They poured some of the liquid on themselves. They felt funny. They looked at each other. They were very small. + +"Oh no! We shrank!" Sara said. + +They saw the pear on the tree. It was very big. They saw a bird on the branch. It was very hungry. It saw them. + +"Run!" Tom said. + +They ran away from the bird. They hid under a leaf. They hoped they would grow back soon. They wished they had not touched the bottle. They learned a lesson. They should not use things they do not understand. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big tree with many green things on it. They run to the tree and look up. + +"What are those?" Lily asks. + +"They are pears," Ben says. "They are good to eat. We can pick some." + +Lily and Ben reach for the pears. But they are too high. They cannot get them. + +"Let's get a stool," Lily says. "We can stand on it and get the pears." + +They run to the house and get a white stool. They bring it to the tree and put it under a branch. Lily climbs on the stool and picks a pear. She gives it to Ben. + +"Thank you, Lily," Ben says. He bites the pear. It is sweet and juicy. + +Lily picks another pear for herself. She bites it too. It is also sweet and juicy. + +They smile at each other and eat their pears. They are happy. They like pears. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the farm. They had a dog named Spot and a cat named Fluff. One day, their dad said he had to send some wheat to the mill. He asked Ben and Lily if they wanted to go with him. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" they said. They loved to see the big machines that turned the wheat into flour. They got into the truck with their dad and Spot. Fluff stayed at home to nap. + +When they got to the mill, they saw a man with a long beard and a hat. He was the miller. He smiled and said hello to them. + +"Hello, Mr. Miller," their dad said. "I have some wheat for you. Can you make it into flour for me?" + +"Sure, I can," the miller said. "But you have to answer a riddle first. If you answer right, I will make your flour for free. If you answer wrong, you have to pay me double. Do you want to play?" + +Their dad thought for a moment. He liked riddles, but he was not very good at them. He looked at Ben and Lily. They looked excited and curious. + +"OK, I will play," their dad said. "What is your riddle?" + +The miller said, "What is always coming but never arrives?" + +Their dad scratched his head. He could not think of anything. He looked at Ben and Lily. They whispered to each other. Then, Lily raised her hand. + +"I know, I know!" she said. "Can I say it?" + +The miller nodded. He was surprised that a little girl knew the answer. + +Lily said, "The answer is tomorrow. Tomorrow is always coming but never arrives." + +The miller clapped his hands. He was impressed by Lily's answer. + +"That is right, that is right!" he said. "You are a very wise girl. You have solved my riddle. I will make your flour for free. You can come and watch if you want." + +Ben and Lily cheered. They hugged their dad and thanked him for taking them to the mill. They followed the miller and saw how he poured the wheat into a big hopper. Then, they heard a loud noise as the wheat was crushed by the stones. They saw the flour come out of a pipe and fill a bag. They smelled the fresh and sweet aroma of the flour. + +They had a lot of fun at the mill. They learned something new and made a new friend. They thanked the miller and took their flour home. They gave some to their mom, who baked them a cake. They shared the cake with Spot and Fluff. They were happy and full. They went to bed and dreamed of tomorrow. +Tom likes to wear his jet hat. It is blue and has a big jet on the front. He pretends he can fly like a jet when he wears it. He runs and jumps and makes jet noises. + +One day, he goes to the park with his mom and dad. He sees a big slide. He wants to go on it. He runs to the slide and climbs up the steps. He puts his jet hat on his head and gets ready to slide. + +But the slide is hard and fast. Tom slides down very quickly. He feels scared. He tries to hold on to his jet hat, but it falls off. He lands on the ground and starts to cry. + +His mom and dad run to him. They hug him and ask him if he is okay. He says he is okay, but he is sad. He lost his jet hat. He looks around, but he cannot see it. + +Then he hears a jet noise. He looks up and sees a big jet in the sky. It is flying very high and fast. It is blue and has a big jet on the front. It is his jet hat! The wind blew it up in the air and it became a real jet. + +Tom smiles and waves at his jet hat. He is happy. He says goodbye to his jet hat and thanks it for the fun.

A man and a woman get out of the car. They wear nice clothes and shiny things. + +"Wow, they are rich!" Sara says. + +"What is rich?" Ben asks. + +"Rich means they have a lot of things. Like cars and clothes and shiny things. And they can buy anything they want," Sara explains. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He points to his nose. "I have a nose. Is that a thing?" + +Sara laughs. "Yes, a nose is a thing. But everyone has a nose. That does not make you rich." + +Ben points to the woman's nose. "She has a nose too. But her nose is different. It is small and pointy. My nose is big and round." + +Sara nods. "That is true. Her nose is different. Maybe she likes her nose. Maybe she does not. I do not know." + +Ben wonders. He walks up to the woman. He says hello. The woman smiles. She says hello back. + +"Can I ask you something?" Ben says. + +"Sure, what do you want to ask?" the woman says. + +"Why is your nose small and pointy?" Ben asks. + +The woman is surprised. She does not know what to say. She looks at the man. The man looks at her. They do not mention her nose. They do not like to talk about it. They paid a lot of money to make her nose small and pointy. They thought it would make them happy. But it did not. + +Sara runs to Ben. She pulls him away. She says sorry to the woman. She says Ben is curious. He does not mean to be rude. + +The woman says it is okay. She says goodbye to Sara and Ben. She gets in the car with the man. They drive away. + +Sara and Ben go back to the park. They play with their toys. They have fun. They are happy. They do not care about noses. They do not care about being rich. They care about being friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big vine on a tree. The vine is long and green. + +"Look, a vine!" Tom says. "Let's plan a game with it." + +"What game?" Sam asks. + +"We can swing on the vine like monkeys," Tom says. "It will be fun." + +Sam nods. He likes monkeys. He follows Tom to the vine. + +Tom grabs the vine and pulls it. He swings on it and laughs. "Whee! This is fun! Come on, Sam, you try." + +Sam grabs the vine and pulls it. He swings on it too. But the vine is not strong. It breaks. Sam falls to the ground. He hits his head on a rock. He cries. He is hurt. + +Tom runs to Sam. He is scared. He sees blood on Sam's head. He does not know what to do. + +"Help! Help!" Tom shouts. "Sam is hurt! Help!" + +But no one hears him. No one comes. Tom and Sam are alone. They are sad. They wish they did not play with the vine. It was a bad plan. It was a hard day. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with their pets. Tom has a dog and Sue has a cat. They feed their pets every day and give them water. They also take them for exercise. They run and jump and have fun. + +One day, Tom and Sue decide to swap their pets. They think it will be fun to try something new. Tom takes Sue's cat home and Sue takes Tom's dog home. They say goodbye and promise to be careful. + +But Tom and Sue soon find out that swapping pets is not fun. Tom's dog does not like Sue's cat food. He spits it out and barks. He also does not like Sue's small house. He feels uncomfortable and wants more space. He scratches the door and the sofa. Sue is angry and scared. She does not know how to calm him down. + +Sue's cat does not like Tom's dog food. She sniffs it and turns away. She also does not like Tom's big yard.

He holds his ugly green car in his hand. + +"Here, you can have my car," he says. "It is old and ugly, but it still works. You can share it and play together." + +Ben and Sam stop fighting. They look at Tim and his ugly car. They feel ashamed. They realize they were mean to Tim. They realize they were selfish with their cars. + +They say sorry to Tim. They thank him for his car. They invite him to play with them. + +Tim smiles. He is happy. He shares his car with Ben and Sam. They make noises and drive their car on the floor. They are friends. They have fun. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big horse. The horse is brown and has a long tail. The horse is eating grass. + +"Wow, look at the horse!" Tim says. "It is so big and tough. I want to touch it." + +"Me too," Sam says. "But be careful. The horse might kick or bite." + +Tim and Sam walk slowly to the horse. They want to say hello. But the horse does not see them. The horse lifts its head and moves. Tim and Sam stumble. They fall on the ground. + +"Ouch!" Tim says. "That hurt. The horse is too tough for me." + +"Are you okay?" Sam says. He helps Tim get up. They have dirt on their clothes. + +"I'm okay," Tim says. "But I don't want to touch the horse anymore. Let's go play on the slide." + +"Okay," Sam says. "The slide is more fun. And safer." + +They run to the slide. They forget about the horse. They slide and laugh. They are happy. +Sam likes to play with his machine. His machine has wheels and buttons and lights. He can make it go fast or slow or beep or flash. He likes to show his machine to his friends and his mom and dad. + +One day, Sam takes his machine to the park. He sees a big hill and wants to make his machine go down the hill. He puts his machine on the top of the hill and pushes it. The machine goes very fast and makes a loud noise. Sam is happy and runs after it. + +But then, something bad happens. The machine hits a rock and flips over. Sam hears a crack and sees a piece of his machine break off. His machine stops moving and making noise. Sam is sad and scared. He picks up his machine and tries to fix it. But he can't. His machine is broken. + +Sam starts to cry. He loves his machine and he doesn't want it to be broken. He feels angry at the rock and the hill and himself. He wants his machine to work again. He hugs his machine and says sorry. + +Then, he sees his mom and dad. They hear him cry and come to him. They see his machine and the broken piece. They ask him what happened. Sam tells them everything. He says he is sorry and he didn't mean to break his machine. + +His mom and dad hug him and say it's okay. They say they are not angry at him and they know he loves his machine. They say they can try to fix his machine or get him a new one. They say they love him and his machine too. + +Sam feels better. He says thank you and he loves them too. He still feels sad about his machine, but he also feels happy that his mom and dad are with him. He hopes his machine will work again or he will get a new one. He learns to be careful with his machine and not push it too hard. He still likes to play with his machine, but he also likes to play with other things and with his friends and his mom and dad. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They saw a big truck stop near the gate. The truck had many packages on it. Lily and Ben were curious. They ran to the truck and looked at the packages. + +"Wow, look at all these!" Lily said. "I wonder what's inside them." + +"Maybe toys, or candy, or books," Ben said. "Let's open one and see." + +They picked a small package and tore the paper. Inside was a shiny necklace. Lily put it on her neck and smiled. + +"It's so pretty!" she said. "I want to keep it." + +Ben looked around and saw a man coming out of the truck. The man was wearing a uniform and had a clipboard. He looked angry. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing with my package?" he shouted. "That's not yours, that's for someone else. Give it back to me right now!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the package and ran away. The man chased them and caught them at the gate. He grabbed the package and the necklace from Lily. + +"How dare you steal from me?" he said. "Do you know how much trouble you're in? I should call the police and tell them what you did." + +Lily and Ben started to cry. They felt very sorry for what they did. They didn't mean to steal, they were just curious. + +"Please, mister, don't call the police," Lily said. "We're sorry, we didn't know it was yours. We just wanted to see what was inside." + +"Yeah, we're sorry, we won't do it again," Ben said. "Please, let us go." + +The man looked at them and sighed. He saw that they were just kids who made a mistake. He decided to release them and let them go. + +"Alright, alright, I won't call the police," he said. "But you have to promise me that you'll never touch other people's packages again. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, sir, we promise," Lily and Ben said. + +"Good. Now go back to your parents and tell them what you did. And don't forget to say sorry to them too," he said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and ran back to their parents. They told them the truth and said sorry. Their parents were upset, but they also forgave them. They told them that they should respect other people's property and not be greedy. They also told them that they should be careful of strangers and not go near big trucks. + +Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They never touched other people's packages again. They also thanked the man for being kind and not calling the police. They realized that he was a delivery man who was doing his job. They felt sorry for making his job harder. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to pretend they were brave knights and princesses. They had sticks for swords and crowns made of leaves. + +One day, they saw a big, scary bear. It was growling and showing its teeth. It wanted to eat them. Lily and Ben were very afraid. They ran away, but the bear was faster. It chased them to a big tree. + +Lily and Ben climbed the tree as fast as they could. They hoped the bear would go away. But the bear did not go away. It stood under the tree and roared. It tried to scratch the tree with its claws. + +Lily and Ben did not know what to do. They had no weapons to fight the bear. They only had their sticks. Lily had an idea. She broke her stick in half and gave one piece to Ben. She said, "We have to make the bear think we are dangerous. We have to throw our twigs at the bear and yell." + +Ben nodded. He was scared, but he trusted Lily. They threw their twigs at the bear and yelled, "Go away, bear! We are not afraid of you! You are not the boss of us!" + +The bear was surprised. It did not like the twigs hitting its nose and eyes. It did not like the noise. It thought Lily and Ben were brave and strong. It decided they were not worth the trouble. It turned around and walked away. + +Lily and Ben cheered. They had made the bear surrender. They hugged each other and smiled. They were safe. They were heroes. They climbed down the tree and ran back to their home. They told their mom and dad what had happened. They were very proud of themselves. They had a big hug and a big cookie. They had a happy ending. +Anna and Ben went to the shop with Mom. They wanted to buy some snacks for the picnic. Mom gave them some money and told them to choose one thing each. + +Anna looked at the labels on the boxes and bags. She saw cookies, chips, crackers, and candy. She liked candy the most. It was sweet and colorful. She picked a bag of candy and showed it to Mom. + +Ben looked at the labels too. He saw nuts, raisins, popcorn, and pretzels. He liked popcorn the most. It was crunchy and salty. He picked a bag of popcorn and showed it to Mom. + +Mom smiled and said, "Good choices, Anna and Ben. Let's go and pay for them." + +They went to the counter and gave the money to the lady. The lady said, "Thank you, and enjoy your snacks." + +Anna and Ben said, "Thank you, too." They put their snacks in their backpacks and followed Mom to the car. They were happy and excited for the picnic. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and dolls. One day, they find a big red car in the toy box. They both want to play with it. + +"I saw it first!" Tom says. He grabs the car with his arm. + +"No, I saw it first!" Mia says. She pulls the car with her arm. + +They quarrel and tug and shout. The car breaks in two. They both cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She is not happy. + +"Why are you quarreling?" she asks. "You are friends. You should share and be nice." + +Tom and Mia feel sorry. They say sorry to each other and hug. + +"Can we fix the car, Mom?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe we can," Mom says. "But first, you need to learn a lesson. Quarreling is bad. It hurts your feelings and your toys. Sharing is good. It makes you happy and your toys last longer." + +Tom and Mia nod. They help Mom fix the car. Then they take turns playing with it. They smile and laugh. They are friends again. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a red ball that they threw to each other. One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a big blue ball that bounced very high. Ben and Lily wanted to play with the new boy and his ball. + +"Hi, I'm Ben and this is Lily. Can we play with you?" Ben asked the new boy. + +"Sure, I'm Tom. This is my ball. It's very fun," Tom said. He threw the ball to Ben and Ben caught it. It felt soft and light in his hands. + +Lily waited for her turn, but Ben did not throw the ball to her. He threw it back to Tom, and they laughed. Lily felt jealous. She wanted to play with the ball too. She did not like Ben and Tom. + +She walked away from them and looked for something else to do. She saw a path that led to the woods. She was curious. She followed the path and saw many trees and flowers. She also saw a squirrel that ran up a tree. She smiled. She liked the squirrel. + +She picked a yellow flower and gave it to the squirrel. The squirrel took the flower and nibbled on it. It made a funny noise. Lily laughed. She felt happy. She had a new friend. + +She heard Ben calling her name. He sounded worried. He and Tom had lost their ball. It had rolled into a bush and they could not find it. They wanted Lily to help them. + +Lily did not want to help them. She was still jealous. She wanted to stay with the squirrel. She ignored Ben and Tom. + +She was surprised when she saw another squirrel come out of the bush. It had the blue ball in its mouth. It ran to the first squirrel and they played with the ball. They looked like they were having fun. + +Lily thought the ball looked better with the squirrels than with Ben and Tom. She decided to join them. She ran to the squirrels and threw the yellow flower to them. They caught it and threw it back to her. They played catch with the flower and the ball. + +Ben and Tom saw Lily and the squirrels. They were amazed. They wanted their ball back. They ran to the squirrels and tried to grab the ball. But the squirrels were faster and smarter. They dodged Ben and Tom and ran away with the ball. + +Ben and Tom were sad. They had lost their ball and their sister. They wished they had shared the ball with Lily. They learned a lesson. They said they were sorry to Lily and asked her to play with them. + +Lily felt sorry for Ben and Tom. She forgave them. She said goodbye to the squirrels and thanked them for the fun. She gave them the yellow flower as a gift. They waved to her and ran to their tree. + +Lily, Ben and Tom went back to their red ball. They played with it together. They shared it and took turns. They were happy. They had learned to be kind and fair. They had also made new friends. They hoped to see the squirrels again. They had a good day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a smooth path. They wanted to go down the path on their bikes. + +"Let's race!" Tom said. "I bet I can go faster than you!" + +"OK!" Lily said. "But be careful. The path is very steep and twisty." + +They got on their bikes and started to pedal. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their skin. They were very excited. + +But Tom was too excited. He did not look where he was going. He did not see the big rock on the path. He hit the rock and fell off his bike. He rolled down the hill and landed in a bush. + +Lily saw what happened. She stopped her bike and ran to Tom. She was scared. She hoped he was not hurt. + +"Tom, are you OK?" she asked. + +Tom groaned. He was covered in dirt and leaves. He had a scratch on his arm and a bump on his head. He felt very sore. + +"I'm OK," he said. "But I don't want to race anymore." + +He looked up and saw his bike. It was broken. The wheel was bent and the chain was off. He felt very sad. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "Your bike is broken." + +Tom nodded. He wished he had listened to Lily. He wished he had been more careful. + +They heard a voice. It was their mom. She had seen them from the bench. She came to help them. + +"Are you OK, kids?" she asked. "What happened?" + +Tom and Lily told her what happened. She hugged them and said they were brave. She said she would take them home and fix Tom's bike and his boo-boos. + +They walked to the car. Tom held Lily's hand. He was glad she was his sister. He said he was sorry for being silly. + +"It's OK, Tom," Lily said. "I still love you." + +They smiled at each other. They saw their shadows on the ground. They looked like friends. They felt happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big hole in the ground. It was a pit. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the pit!" Ben said. "Maybe there is something fun or shiny." + +"No, Ben, it is too dark and scary," Lily said. "We might get hurt or lost. Mama said we should not go near pits. They are dangerous." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He was curious and brave. He ran to the pit and jumped in. He landed on something hard and sharp. It was a rock. He cried out in pain. He had a big cut on his leg. It was bleeding. He felt scared and alone. + +Lily heard Ben's cry. She ran to the pit and looked down. She saw Ben lying on the rock. He looked hurt and sad. She felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily shouted. "I am here. I will get help. Don't move." + +Lily ran to find Mama. She told her what happened. Mama was worried and angry. She ran to the pit with Lily. She saw Ben and called his name. She reached down and pulled him out. She hugged him and checked his wound. She cleaned it and put a bandage on it. She took him to the car. + +"Ben, you were very foolish and naughty," Mama said. "You did not listen to Lily or me. You went to the pit and got hurt. You could have been worse. You should never go near pits. They are not safe. You should be careful and obedient." + +"I am sorry, Mama," Ben said. "I was wrong. I wanted to see the pit. I did not think it was harsh. I learned my lesson. I will not go to pits again. I will listen to you and Lily. They are smart and kind." + +Mama smiled and kissed Ben. She was glad he was okay. She was proud he was sorry and learned his lesson. She drove them home. + +Lily sat next to Ben. She held his hand and gave him a toy. She was happy he was safe. She was a good sister. + +"Ben, I am glad you are okay," Lily said. "I love you. Next time, let's play somewhere else. Somewhere fun and safe. Like the sandbox or the slide." + +"Okay, Lily," Ben said. "I love you too. Thank you for helping me. You are the best sister. Next time, I will relax and play with you." + +They hugged and smiled. They learned to be careful and obedient. They learned to relax and have fun. They learned to love and help each other. They were happy. +Lily and Max are best friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, they see a lady with fancy hair. Her hair is long and curly and shiny. She has many clips and ribbons in her hair. + +"Wow, look at her hair!" Lily says to Max. "It is so pretty. I want hair like that." + +Max nods. He thinks the lady's hair is nice too. He likes the colors and the shapes. He wonders how it feels. + +The lady sees Lily and Max looking at her. She smiles and walks over to them. She kneels down and says hello. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you like my hair?" she asks. + +"Yes, we do!" Lily and Max say together. + +"Thank you. You are very sweet. Do you want to touch my hair?" she asks. + +Lily and Max nod. They reach out and touch the lady's hair. It is soft and smooth and warm. They giggle and stroke the hair. + +The lady laughs. She likes Lily and Max. They are cute and polite. She hugs them gently. + +"You are very kind. Do you want a clip for your hair?" she asks. + +Lily and Max nod again. They love clips. The lady gives them each a clip from her hair. Lily gets a pink one and Max gets a blue one. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Lily and Max say. + +"You are welcome, welcome!" the lady says. "Have fun, and be careful." + +The lady waves goodbye and walks away. Lily and Max wave back. They put the clips in their hair. They hug each other and smile. + +They have fancy hair too. They are happy. +Lily was a curious girl. She liked to look at everything and ask questions. She wanted to know about the birds, the flowers, the cars, and the people. She especially wanted to know about her neighbor, Mr. Lee. + +Mr. Lee was an old man who lived next door. He had a big garden with many plants and a small pond. He also had a dog, a cat, and a turtle. Lily often saw him working in his garden or playing with his pets. She wondered what he did and what he liked. + +One day, Lily decided to talk to Mr. Lee. She waited until he came out of his house and walked to his garden. She followed him and said, "Hello, Mr. Lee. I am Lily. I live in that house." She pointed to her own house. + +Mr. Lee smiled and said, "Hello, Lily. I am glad to meet you. You are a very curious girl, aren't you?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I am. I like to learn new things. Can I ask you some questions?" + +Mr. Lee said, "Sure, you can. What do you want to know?" + +Lily asked, "What are you doing in your garden?" + +Mr. Lee said, "I am planting some seeds. They will grow into flowers and vegetables. Do you like flowers and vegetables?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. They are pretty and yummy. Can I help you plant some seeds?" + +Mr. Lee said, "Of course, you can. Here, take this shovel and this bag of seeds. You can dig a small hole and put a seed in it. Then cover it with some dirt and water it. That's how you plant a seed." + +Lily took the shovel and the bag of seeds and followed Mr. Lee's instructions. She planted many seeds in different spots. She felt happy and proud. She said, "Thank you, Mr. Lee. This is fun. I have learned something new today." + +Mr. Lee said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good helper and a good learner. I have enjoyed your company today. Come back anytime you want. We can have more fun and learn more things together." + +Lily said, "I will, Mr. Lee. You are a nice neighbor and a good teacher. I have made a new friend today." + +They smiled at each other and continued to plant seeds. They had a good time and a good conversation. They were both curious and happy. +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big bottle of water and a small spray. They liked to spray the water on the flowers and the grass. They also liked to spray each other and laugh. + +"Spray, spray, spray!" Tim said, as he sprayed Lily's hair. + +"Hey, stop it!" Lily said, as she sprayed Tim's face. + +They were having fun, but they did not see the big bird that was watching them. The bird was hungry and it liked to eat oats. It saw a bowl of oats on the table. The oats were rare and tasty. The bird flew down and landed on the table. + +"Look, a bird!" Lily said, as she pointed to the table. + +"Wow, it's big and pretty!" Tim said, as he looked at the bird. + +The bird saw the children and got scared. It did not want to share the oats. It grabbed the bowl with its beak and flew away. + +"Hey, come back!" Tim said, as he ran after the bird. + +"Give us our oats!" Lily said, as she followed Tim. + +But the bird was too fast and too high. It flew over the fence and disappeared. + +"Oh no, our oats are gone!" Tim said, as he stopped running. + +"That's not fair!" Lily said, as she stamped her foot. + +They were sad and angry. They went back to the garden and picked up the spray. They sprayed the water on the flowers and the grass. They also sprayed each other and laughed. + +"Spray, spray, spray!" Lily said, as she sprayed Tim's hair. + +"Hey, stop it!" Tim said, as he sprayed Lily's face. + +They forgot about the bird and the oats. They were having fun again. +Lily and Ben liked to play at the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big truck at the park. It had a lot of weight on it. It was carrying trash to the dump. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Ben said. "It is so big and strong!" + +"Yuck, look at that trash!" Lily said. "It is so dirty and disgusting!" + +They went closer to the truck to see the trash. They saw cans, bottles, bags and boxes. They also saw some food that was rotten and smelly. + +"Look, there is a banana peel!" Ben said. He picked it up and threw it at Lily. + +"Hey, don't do that!" Lily said. She picked up a tomato that was squishy and threw it back at Ben. + +They started to have a trash fight. They threw trash at each other and laughed. They did not see the truck driver who came back to the truck. + +"Hey, what are you kids doing?" the truck driver said. He was angry. "This is not a toy! This is trash! Get away from my truck!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the trash and ran away. They did not want to play with the trash anymore. They learned that trash was not fun. It was disgusting. +Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They had a big box and some bricks. They wanted to make a house for their toys. + +"Look, I found a rock!" Ben said. He picked up a round, gray rock from the ground. "I can use it for the door." + +"No, Ben, that's not a good idea," Lily said. "The rock is too heavy. It will break the box." + +But Ben did not listen. He put the rock on top of the box. The box made a loud noise and tore apart. The bricks fell down and the toys flew out. + +Lily was angry. She started to cry. "Ben, you ruined our house!" she shouted. "You are a bad brother!" + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He wanted to make her happy. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I did not know the rock was too heavy. Can we make another house?" + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at Ben and said, "Okay, Ben. We can make another house. But this time, no rocks. Only bricks." + +Ben nodded. He smiled and said, "Okay, Lily. Only bricks. And we can use this cloth for the door." + +They picked up the bricks and the toys and the cloth. They found another box and started to make a new house. They were happy again. They played together until it was time to go inside. +Lily and Sam were going to camp for the first time. They were very excited, but also a little scared. They packed their bags with clothes, toys, and snacks. They said goodbye to their mom and dad, who hugged them and told them to have fun and be careful. + +At camp, they met many new friends and played a lot of games. They also learned how to make a fire, sing songs, and tell stories. Lily and Sam liked camp very much, but they also missed their mom and dad sometimes. They wrote them letters and drew them pictures every day. + +One day, they went on a hike with their group. They saw many animals, plants, and rocks. They also found a big lake with a wooden bridge. The leader told them to cross the bridge one by one, and to hold on to the railing. Lily and Sam waited for their turn, but they were careless. They did not listen to the leader, and they ran across the bridge together. They did not hold on to the railing, and they slipped and fell into the water. + +The water was cold and deep, and Lily and Sam were scared. They cried for help, and the leader and the other kids came to rescue them. They pulled them out of the water, and wrapped them in blankets. They were wet and shivering, and they felt very sorry. They said sorry to the leader and the other kids, and they hugged each other. + +That night, they called their mom and dad, and told them what happened. They said they were okay, but they were very sorry. They said they missed them very much, and they wanted to come home. Their mom and dad said they missed them too, but they were glad they were safe. They said they loved them, and they were proud of them for being brave and honest. They said they would see them soon, and they would have a big hug and a kiss. Lily and Sam felt better, and they said they loved them too. They said goodnight, and they went to sleep. They dreamed of camp, and of home. +Tim and Mia like to play with their toy farm. They have a big red barn, some cows and sheep, and a mill. The mill has a wheel that can spin when the wind blows. Tim and Mia attach a string to the wheel and pretend it is a kite. + +"Look, Mia, the mill is flying!" Tim says, holding the string. + +"It is not flying, Tim, it is spinning," Mia says, laughing. "But it is fun to watch." + +They run around the farm, following the string and the mill. They make noises like the animals and the wind. They are very cheerful and happy. + +But then, a big gust of wind comes and pulls the string out of Tim's hand. The mill flies away, higher and higher, until they cannot see it anymore. + +"Oh no, Tim, we lost the mill!" Mia cries. + +"I'm sorry, Mia, I did not hold the string tight enough," Tim says, feeling sad. + +They look at the sky, hoping to see the mill again. But it is gone. + +They hug each other and walk back to the barn. They still have their other toys, and each other. They decide to make a new mill, with cardboard and paper. They attach it to a stick and wave it in the air. + +"Look, Mia, we have a new mill!" Tim says, smiling. + +"It is not the same, Tim, but it is still nice," Mia says, smiling too. + +They play with their new mill, and forget about the old one. They are cheerful and happy again. +Tom and Anna liked to play in the kitchen. They had a big box of toys that looked like food and dishes. They pretended to bake cakes and pies and cookies for their dolls and teddy bears. They used a toy oven and a toy mixer and a toy knife. + +One day, they decided to make a surprise for their mom. They took some flour and water and salt from the cupboard and mixed them in a bowl. They made a big ball of dough and rolled it on the table. They cut out shapes with their toy cutters and put them on a tray. They put the tray in the real oven and turned it on. + +"Mom will love our cake!" Tom said. + +"Yes, she will!" Anna said. + +They went to the living room and played with their furniture. They had a sofa and a chair and a table and a lamp. They made a house for their dolls and teddy bears. They had a lot of fun. + +After a while, they smelled something funny. They ran to the kitchen and saw smoke coming out of the oven. They opened the door and saw their dough shapes burned and black. + +"Oh no!" Tom said. + +"What did we do?" Anna said. + +Mom came into the kitchen and saw the mess. She was not happy. She turned off the oven and took out the tray. She looked at Tom and Anna. + +"What were you trying to do?" she asked. + +"We wanted to bake you a cake, Mom!" Tom said. + +"We wanted to make you happy, Mom!" Anna said. + +Mom sighed. She hugged Tom and Anna. + +"Thank you for your thought, but you should never use the real oven without me. It is very dangerous. You could get hurt or start a fire. Do you understand?" she said. + +"Yes, Mom. We are sorry, Mom." Tom and Anna said. + +Mom smiled. She took them to the sink and washed their hands. She gave them some real cookies and milk. + +"Next time, we can bake together. I will show you how to do it right. OK?" she said. + +"OK, Mom. We love you, Mom." Tom and Anna said. + +They ate their cookies and drank their milk. They were happy. They learned a lesson. They still liked to play in the kitchen, but only with their toys. +Anna was sad. She wanted to play with her doll, but her doll was broken. Her doll's neck was thick and hard, and it could not move. Anna tried to fix her doll, but she could not. She sighed and hugged her doll. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" her mom asked. She came into Anna's room and saw the broken doll. + +"My doll is broken, mom. Her neck is thick and she can't look at me," Anna said. + +"Oh, I'm sorry, Anna. That's not good. How did your doll break?" her mom asked. + +"I don't know, mom. I was playing with her and then her neck was thick. Maybe she fell or something," Anna said. + +Her mom looked at the doll and saw a crack on the neck. She guessed that the doll had a wire inside that was bent. She had an idea. + +"Anna, do you want me to try to fix your doll?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, please, mom. Can you make her neck move again?" Anna asked. + +"I can try, Anna. But I need some tools and some tape. Can you wait for me here?" her mom asked. + +"Okay, mom. I will wait for you. Thank you, mom," Anna said. + +Her mom smiled and kissed Anna. She went to get the tools and the tape. Anna sighed and hugged her doll. She hoped her mom could fix her doll. She loved her doll very much. +Anna and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Anna liked the swans. They were white and clean. She wanted to swim with them. + +"Mom, can I swim with the swans?" Anna asked. + +"No, Anna, you can't swim with the swans. The pond is too deep and cold for you. And the swans might not like it. They might peck you or flap their wings at you. You can watch them from here, or feed them some bread." Mom said. + +Anna was sad. She liked the swans. She wanted to be their friend. She saw a baby swan near the edge of the pond. It was fluffy and cute. Anna walked closer to the baby swan. She reached out her hand to touch it. + +"Quack, quack!" The baby swan said. + +"Hi, baby swan. You are so pretty. Do you want to play with me?" Anna said. + +"Quack, quack!" The baby swan said again. + +Anna smiled. She thought the baby swan liked her. She sat down next to the baby swan. She stroked its feathers gently. The baby swan snuggled up to her. + +"Look, Mom, the baby swan likes me. Can I take it home?" Anna asked. + +"No, Anna, you can't take the baby swan home. The baby swan belongs to the pond and its family. You can visit it again, but you have to let it go. It needs to swim and grow with its mom and dad and siblings." Mom said. + +Anna was sad again. She liked the baby swan. She wanted to keep it. She hugged the baby swan softly. She said goodbye to it. + +"Bye, baby swan. I will come back to see you. You are my friend." Anna said. + +"Quack, quack!" The baby swan said. + +Anna let go of the baby swan. The baby swan swam back to its mom. Anna waved to it. She walked back to Mom and Ben. They left the park. Anna was happy. She had a new friend. She hoped the baby swan was happy too. +Tim and Mia were twins who liked to look at the stars at night. They had a big window in their room and a book with pictures of stars and planets. One night, they saw a bright light in the sky. It was a comet! + +"Wow, look at that!" Tim said. "It is so shiny and fast!" + +"What is it?" Mia asked. + +"It is a comet. It is a big rock with ice and dust that flies around the sun. Sometimes we can see it when it comes close to the earth," Tim explained. + +"Can we touch it?" Mia wondered. + +"No, it is too far away and too hot. But we can make a wish on it. Maybe it will come true," Tim said. + +"Okay, let's make a wish. But don't tell anyone, or it won't work," Mia said. + +They closed their eyes and whispered their wishes. Tim wished for a new bike and Mia wished for a puppy. + +The next morning, they ran downstairs to see if their wishes came true. They saw their mom and dad smiling in the kitchen. + +"Good morning, kids. We have a surprise for you," their mom said. + +They followed their mom and dad to the backyard. There, they saw a shiny new bike and a cute puppy with a bow. + +"Wow, thank you, thank you!" Tim and Mia shouted. They hugged their mom and dad and ran to their new gifts. + +"Did the comet make our wishes come true?" Mia asked. + +"Maybe, or maybe we just wanted to make you happy," their dad said. + +"Can we name the puppy Comet?" Tim asked. + +"Sure, that's a great name," their mom said. + +They played with Comet and the bike all day. They were very happy. But there was one who was not happy. It was their cat, Luna. She was lazy and did not like the new puppy. She hid under the bed and hissed. + +"Please, Luna, come out and play with us. Comet is nice and friendly. He won't hurt you," Mia said. + +But Luna did not listen. She stayed under the bed and glared. She did not like comets or wishes. She only liked naps and fish. +One day, a panda named Pao was playing in the bamboo forest with his friends. He liked to climb the tall green plants and eat the sweet leaves. He saw a big branch that looked fun to balance on. He jumped on it and tried to walk across. + +"Look at me!" he shouted to his friends. "I can balance on this branch!" + +But the branch was not strong enough for Pao. It broke in the middle and Pao fell to the ground. He landed on a pile of thorns that hurt his fur. He cried out in pain and anger. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow! That was bitter!" he said. + +His friends ran to help him. They pulled out the thorns and hugged him. They told him not to be sad. + +"It's okay, Pao," they said. "You are brave and strong. You can try to balance again another day. But next time, be careful and choose a better branch." + +Pao felt better. He thanked his friends and smiled. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that balance is not easy and that some things are bitter. But he also learned that friends are sweet and that they can make him happy. He decided to play with them some more and forget about the bitter branch. He hoped to find a sweet one next time. +Anna and Ben love to go to the zoo with their mom. They like to see all the different animals and learn their names. But their favorite animal is the panda. The panda is big and black and white and fluffy. He likes to eat bamboo and play with his friends. + +One day, mom tells them that there is a special surprise at the zoo. She says they will see something very exciting. Anna and Ben wonder what it is. They put on their coats and hats and gloves, because it is a very cold day. They get in the car and drive to the zoo. + +When they get to the zoo, they follow the signs to the panda exhibit. They see a big crowd of people waiting in front of a gate. Mom says they have to wait a little bit, because the surprise is not ready yet. Anna and Ben are very curious. They try to peek through the gate, but they can't see anything. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It sounds like a horn. The gate opens and a zookeeper comes out. He has a microphone and says, "Hello, everyone! Welcome to the panda exhibit! Today, we have a very special guest for you. Please meet our new baby panda, Snowy!" + +The crowd cheers and claps. Anna and Ben see a big truck behind the zookeeper. The truck has a big cage on it. Inside the cage, they see a small panda. He is white and fluffy and cute. He looks at the people and makes a funny noise. He sounds like he is saying, "Hi!" + +The zookeeper says, "Snowy is only three months old. He was born in China and came here to join our panda family. He is very playful and curious. He loves to explore and learn new things. He also loves the snow. That's why we named him Snowy." + +The zookeeper opens the cage and lets Snowy out. Snowy runs to the panda enclosure, where his new friends are waiting for him. He sees a big pile of snow and jumps on it. He rolls and slides and makes snowballs. He looks very happy and excited. + +Anna and Ben are amazed. They have never seen a white panda before. They think he is the most beautiful and adorable animal they have ever seen. They watch him play with the other pandas and have fun. They smile and laugh and clap. They say, "Wow! Snowy is so cool! He is the best surprise ever!" +Sara likes to feed the birds in the park. She brings bread and seeds and throws them on the grass. The birds come and eat and sing. Sara likes to watch them and learn their names. + +One day, Sara sees a new bird. It is small and blue and has a long tail. Sara thinks it is very interesting. She wants to feed it, but it does not come to the grass. It stays on a branch and looks at Sara. + +Sara has an idea. She takes a piece of bread and ties a thread to it. She holds the thread and throws the bread near the branch. The blue bird sees the bread and flies to it. It pecks at the bread and pulls the thread. Sara feels the thread and smiles. She pulls the thread gently and brings the bread closer to her. The blue bird follows the bread and comes closer to Sara. + +Sara and the blue bird look at each other. Sara says hello and the blue bird chirps. Sara gives the blue bird some seeds and the blue bird eats them from her hand. Sara and the blue bird become friends. Sara names the blue bird Bluey and visits him every day. Sara and Bluey have fun and learn from each other. Sara thinks Bluey is the most interesting bird in the park. +Sam and Mia are going to the station with Mom. They want to see the big trains. Mom says they have to hold hands and walk fast. The station is very loud. Sam and Mia hear the trains go whoosh and beep. + +"Look, there is a red train!" Mia says. She points to a shiny train on the track. "Can we go on it, Mom?" + +Mom shakes her head. "No, sweetie, that is not our train. Our train is green. It will come soon. We have to wait here." + +Sam and Mia sit on a bench. They see a lot of people and bags. They see a dog with a yellow ball. The dog runs and jumps. Sam and Mia want to play with the dog. + +"Can we catch the ball, Mom?" Sam asks. He likes dogs and balls. + +Mom nods. "Yes, you can, but be careful. Don't go too far. And don't touch the dog. He might not like it." + +Sam and Mia get off the bench. They run after the ball. The dog sees them and barks. He thinks they want to take his ball. He runs faster. Sam and Mia run faster too. They laugh and shout. + +"Come back, come back!" Mom calls. She sees the green train coming. It is their train. They have to catch it. She gets up and runs after Sam and Mia. She hopes they will hear her. The station is very loud. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a lime on the ground. It is green and round. + +"Look, a lime!" Ben says. "I want it!" + +"No, I want it!" Sam says. "It is mine!" + +They both run to the lime. They are fast. They want to own the lime. They reach the lime at the same time. They grab the lime. They pull the lime. + +"Let go!" Ben says. + +"No, you let go!" Sam says. + +They pull harder. The lime breaks. Juice squirts out. It is sour. It makes them scrunch their faces. + +"Yuck!" Ben says. + +"Yuck!" Sam says. + +They drop the lime. They look at each other. They laugh. + +"Sorry, Ben," Sam says. + +"Sorry, Sam," Ben says. + +They hug. They are friends again.

She gives them a big bag of socks and tells them to sort them by color. + +Anna and Ben do not want to work. They want to play. They look at the bag of socks and sigh. They start to sort them, but they are bored. They see a shiny fork on the table. They think it is a toy. + +"Look, Ben, a fork!" Anna says. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK, Anna, let's play!" Ben says. They take the fork and pretend it is a sword. They swing it around and make noises. They have fun. + +But they do not see that Mom is watching them. She is angry. She comes to the living room and sees the fork in their hands. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing?" Mom says. "That is not a toy! That is a fork! You could hurt yourself or break something! And you did not work! You did not sort the socks! You are naughty!" + +Anna and Ben are scared. They drop the fork and look at Mom. They feel guilty. They know they did something bad. + +"Sorry, Mom," Anna says. + +"Sorry, Mom," Ben says. + +Mom picks up the fork and puts it back on the table. She looks at the bag of socks and shakes her head. + +"You have to work, Anna and Ben," Mom says. "You have to sort the socks. That is your job. If you work, you can play later. But if you do not work, you cannot play. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They do not want to be naughty. They want to be good. They go to the bag of socks and start to sort them. They work hard. They hope Mom will be happy. They hope they can play later. +Sara and Tom were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They were very happy. They packed their bags and got in the car. Mom and Dad said they were going to the beach. + +"Can we swim in the water?" Sara asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. The water is warm and blue," Mom said. + +"What about the sand? Can we make castles?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, honey. The sand is soft and yellow," Dad said. + +They drove for a long time. They saw many trees and cows and houses. They sang songs and played games. They were almost there. + +But then they saw something bad. The beach was not warm and blue. It was cold and brown. The sand was not soft and yellow. It was hard and gray. There was trash and seaweed and fish bones everywhere. It was disgusting. + +"Yuck! What is this?" Sara said. + +"Ugh! This is not the beach!" Tom said. + +Mom and Dad looked sad. They said there was a big storm last night. It made the beach dirty and ugly. They said they were sorry. They said they could find another place to stay. + +But Sara and Tom did not want to go. They insisted on staying at the beach. They said they could still have fun. They said they could clean the beach and help the animals. They said they could make it beautiful again. + +Mom and Dad smiled. They were proud of Sara and Tom. They said they were brave and kind. They said they would help them too. They got out of the car and took their bags. They found a nice spot to set up their tent. They started to work. + +Soon, the beach looked better. They picked up the trash and put it in bags. They buried the fish bones and gave the seaweed to the birds. They found shells and rocks and driftwood. They made decorations and sculptures.

I can climb it. It will be fun." + +Sam was scared. He said to Tom, "No, don't climb the pole. It is too high. You can fall and hurt yourself. It is not fun. It is foolish." + +But Tom did not listen to Sam. He said, "You are a baby. You are afraid of everything. I am not afraid. I am brave. I will climb the pole and show you." He ran to the pole and started to climb. + +Sam watched Tom climb the pole. He was worried. He said, "Tom, please come down. It is dangerous. You can slip and fall. Please, please come down." + +But Tom did not listen to Sam. He said, "You are silly. You don't know anything. I am almost at the top. I can see everything. It is beautiful. You are missing out." He climbed higher and higher. + +Then, something bad happened. Tom lost his grip and fell from the pole. He screamed and landed on the ground. He was hurt. He cried and cried. Sam ran to him and tried to help him. He said, "Tom, are you okay? I am sorry. I tried to warn you. You were foolish. You should have listened to me." + +But Tom did not answer. He was too hurt. He had broken his arm and his leg. He had to go to the hospital. He was in pain. He was sad. He wished he had listened to Sam. He wished he had not climbed the pole.

He saw Sara playing with her dolls and he laughed. + +"What are you doing, Sara?" he asked. "You are too old for dolls. They are silly and boring. You should play with something else." + +Sara felt angry and sad. She loved her dolls and she did not want Tom to make fun of them. She said, "No, Tom. You are wrong. My dolls are not silly and boring. They are fun and smart. You are ignorant. You do not know anything about dolls." + +Tom was surprised and annoyed. He did not like Sara calling him ignorant. He said, "I am not ignorant. I know a lot of things. You are the ignorant one. You do not know anything about the real world. You only know about your stupid dolls." + +He reached out his hand and tried to grab one of Sara's dolls. Sara held on to her doll and shouted, "No, Tom. Leave my doll alone. She is mine. Go away." + +They both pulled and tugged at the doll until it ripped. Sara and Tom stopped and looked at the doll. It was broken and torn. They both felt sorry and ashamed. + +Sara started to cry. She said, "Look what you did, Tom. You broke my doll. She was my favorite. How could you?" + +Tom felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I did not mean to break your doll. I was just teasing you. I did not know you liked her so much." + +He hugged Sara and said, "Please forgive me, Sara. I love you. You are my sister. I will help you fix your doll." + +Sara hugged Tom back and said, "I forgive you, Tom. I love you too. You are my brother. Thank you for helping me." + +They both got up from the armchair and went to find some glue and thread. They worked together to mend the doll. They learned to respect each other's toys and feelings. They became better friends. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park on Sunday. The park had a big slide, a swing, and a fair. The fair had a merry-go-round, a balloon man, and a cotton candy machine. + +One Sunday, Tom and Lily went to the park with their moms. They ran to the slide and took turns sliding down. Then they ran to the swing and pushed each other. They had a lot of fun. + +"Can we go to the fair, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Me too, me too!" Lily said. + +"Okay, but only for a little while. And you have to stay with us, okay?" their moms said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and ran to the fair. They saw the merry-go-round with the horses and the music. They wanted to ride it. + +"Can we ride the merry-go-round, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but first you have to buy a ticket. See that man over there? He has the tickets. Go and ask him nicely," her mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the man with the tickets. He had a big smile and a red hat. He gave them each a ticket and said, "Enjoy the ride, kids!" + +Tom and Lily ran back to their moms and gave them the tickets. They climbed on the merry-go-round and chose their horses. Tom picked a white horse and Lily picked a pink horse. They waved to their moms and waited for the ride to start. + +But something was wrong. The man with the tickets was not the real ticket man. He was a bad man who wanted to steal the tickets and the money. He ran away with the tickets and the money and left the real ticket man tied up in a closet. + +The real ticket man managed to free himself and ran to the merry-go-round. He saw Tom and Lily on the horses and shouted, "Stop the ride! Stop the ride! Those kids have fake tickets!" + +The ride stopped and Tom and Lily were confused. They did not know what was going on. Their moms came to them and hugged them. They explained what had happened and said they were sorry. + +"It's okay, mom. We did not know. We just wanted to have fun," Tom said. + +"Me too, mom. We did not mean to do anything bad," Lily said. + +The real ticket man felt sorry for them too. He said, "Don't worry, kids. It's not your fault. You were tricked by the bad man. Here, take these tickets. They are real. You can ride the merry-go-round as much as you want." + +Tom and Lily smiled and thanked him. They took the tickets and rode the merry-go-round again. They had a lot of fun. + +The end. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park with their ball. They like to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They are having fun and laughing. + +But then, Lily sees the sky. It is getting dark and cloudy. She hears a loud noise. It is thunder. She is scared of thunder. She says to Tom, "Tom, we have to hurry. It is going to rain. We have to go home." + +Tom looks at the sky too. He sees the lightning. He is scared of lightning. He says to Lily, "OK, Lily, let's hurry. Where is our ball?" + +They look for their ball. They left it on the grass. But they cannot see it. Someone took their ball. They are sad and worried. They say, "Oh no, our ball is gone. Who took our ball?" + +They see a big dog. The dog has their ball in his mouth. He is running away with it. He is happy and wagging his tail. He does not know that the ball is Lily and Tom's. He thinks it is his toy. + +Lily and Tom run after the dog. They shout, "Hey, dog, give us our ball. That is our ball. We want to play with it." + +But the dog does not listen. He runs faster and faster. He goes out of the park. He goes to the street. He does not look for cars. He is not careful. + +Lily and Tom stop. They do not go to the street. They know that the street is dangerous. They have to stay on the sidewalk. They have to be safe. + +They watch the dog run away with their ball. They are sad and worried. They say, "Bye, bye, ball. We hope you are OK. We hope the dog is OK too." + +They hold hands and walk back to their home. They hope that their mom and dad are not angry. They hope that they can get a new ball. They hope that the rain will stop soon. They hope that they can play in the park again. +Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has long yellow hair and a nice dress. Anna likes to comb Lily's hair and make it shiny. + +One day, Anna and Lily are playing in the living room. Anna puts Lily on the sofa and goes to get a comb. She sees a comb on the table, but it is too high for her to reach. She tries to jump, but she cannot get it. + +"Mommy, can you help me?" Anna calls. "I want to comb Lily's hair." + +Mommy is in the kitchen. She hears Anna and comes to the living room. She sees Anna trying to get the comb. + +"Be careful, Anna," Mommy says. "You might fall and hurt yourself. Why don't you crawl to the table and get the comb?" + +Anna thinks that is a good idea. She puts her hands and knees on the floor and crawls to the table. She reaches the comb and takes it. She is happy. + +"Thank you, Mommy," Anna says. "Now I can comb Lily's hair." + +Mommy smiles and hugs Anna. "You're welcome, Anna," Mommy says.

We are having so much fun. Thank you for coming with me." + +They hug and laugh. They play on the island until Anna's mom calls them for lunch. They say, "Bye bye, island. We will come back soon."

We went to an island with Lily. It was amazing." + +Anna's mom smiles and says, "That sounds wonderful, Anna. I'm glad you and Lily had a great adventure. You have a very good imagination.

"There are so many jellyfish in the water! They are so pretty and shiny!" + +Ben nodded. He liked jellyfish too. They looked like colorful balloons floating in the sea. He wanted to touch one and see how it felt. + +"Can we go closer, Mia?" he asked. "Can we touch the jellyfish?" + +Mia shook her head. She remembered what their mom had told them. "No, Ben, no. We can't touch the jellyfish. They can hurt us. They have stingers that can make us feel very bad. We have to stay away from them." + +Ben frowned. He didn't like to stay away from things he liked. He thought Mia was being silly and scared. He wanted to be brave and curious. He wanted to touch the jellyfish. + +He waited until Mia was looking at something else. Then he sneaked closer to the water. He saw a big, pink jellyfish near the edge. It looked so soft and smooth. He reached out his hand and touched it. + +"Ow!" he cried. He felt a sharp pain in his hand. He pulled it back and saw a red mark on his skin. It hurt a lot. He started to cry. + +Mia heard him and ran over to him. She saw his hand and gasped. She knew he had touched a jellyfish. She was angry and worried. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" she scolded. "I told you not to touch the jellyfish. They are dangerous. You are very silly and naughty. Now we have to go to mom and get help." + +She grabbed his hand and dragged him away from the water. Ben sobbed and whimpered. He wished he had listened to Mia. He wished he had not touched the jellyfish. He wished he could relax and play at the beach. But he couldn't. He had made a big mistake. He had a bad ending. +Tim and Mia like to play outside.

She holds the ball with her paws and bites it. + +Spot is surprised. He wants the ball back. He barks at Belle. Belle hisses at Spot. She does not want to share the ball. She kicks Spot with her back paws. Spot yelps and backs away. + +"Hey, stop that!" Tim says. "Belle, give the ball back to Spot. He is not a mouse. He is a dog. He is my friend." + +"Belle, come here!" Mia says. "Belle, let go of the ball. It is not yours. It is Tim's. He is my friend." + +Belle does not listen. She keeps the ball in her mouth and runs away.

He had a big red ball. He wanted to share it with Lily. + +He went to Lily's house and knocked on the door. Lily's mom opened the door and smiled. "Hello, Tom. What do you have there?" she asked. + +Tom showed her the ball. "It is a gift for Lily. Can I play with her?" he said. + +Lily's mom nodded. "That is very nice of you, Tom. Lily is in her room. You can go and see her," she said. + +Tom ran to Lily's room. He saw Lily sitting on the floor with her dolls. He was happy to see her. He held out the ball. "Look, Lily. I have a gift for you. It is a big red ball. Do you like it?" he said. + +Lily looked at the ball. She did not smile. She did not say thank you. She grabbed the ball from Tom's hands. She threw it at the window. The window broke. Glass flew everywhere. Tom and Lily were scared. + +Lily's mom heard the noise. She ran to Lily's room. She saw the broken window and the ball. She was angry. "Lily, what did you do? You broke the window. You hurt Tom. You were not nice to him. He gave you a gift. He was helpful. You were not," she said. + +Lily did not say sorry. She did not care. She liked the ball. She wanted to keep it. She hugged the ball and ran away. + +Tom was sad. He did not understand. He wanted to be Lily's friend. He wanted to play with her. He did not want the ball. He gave it to her. He was helpful. She was not. + +He cried. He picked up his coat and hat. He said goodbye to Lily's mom. He walked home alone. He did not have a friend. He did not have a gift. He did not have a happy day. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with blocks. They make towers with the blocks. They see who can make the tallest tower. + +One day, they are playing with blocks in their room. Tim has a big tower. Sam has a small tower. Sam wants to make his tower bigger. He sees some blocks near Tim's tower. He tries to take them. + +"Stop!" Tim says. "Those are my blocks. You will spoil my tower!" + +But Sam does not listen. He pulls a block from Tim's tower. Tim's tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise. + +Tim is angry. He cries. "You spoiled my tower! You are a bad brother!" + +Sam is sorry. He did not mean to spoil Tim's tower. He says, "I'm sorry, Tim. I just wanted to make my tower bigger. Can we play again?" + +Tim is still angry. He does not want to play with Sam. He says, "No! Go away!" + +Sam is sad. He does not know what to do. He looks around the room. He sees something furry. It is their cat, Fluffy. Fluffy is sleeping on the bed. Sam goes to the bed. He pets Fluffy. Fluffy purrs. + +Sam feels better. He says, "Fluffy, you are a good friend. You do not spoil my towers. You are soft and furry. I like you." + +Fluffy likes Sam too. He licks Sam's face. Sam smiles. He says, "Maybe Tim will play with me later. But for now, I have you, Fluffy." +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They named him Frosty and said he was their friend. + +"Look, Frosty is smiling!" Lily said. "He likes us!" + +"Yes, he does!" Tom said. "He is our love snowman!" + +They hugged Frosty and sang a song. They were very happy. + +But then a big dog came running. He saw Frosty and barked. He jumped on Frosty and knocked him down. He bit the carrot nose and the buttons. He tore the hat and the scarf. + +"Stop, stop!" Tom and Lily shouted. "Leave Frosty alone!" + +But the dog did not listen. He ran away with the carrot and the buttons. Frosty was broken. He had no nose, no eyes, no hat, no scarf. He was not smiling anymore. + +Tom and Lily were very sad. They cried and cried. They tried to fix Frosty, but they could not. They said sorry to Frosty and told him they still loved him. + +But Frosty did not answer. He was frozen. He could not hear them. He could not feel them. He was not their friend anymore. He was just snow. +Sam liked to organize his things. He had a big box where he put his cars, a small basket where he put his balls, and a shelf where he put his books. He liked to make his things neat and tidy. + +One day, he saw a new thing in his room. It was a big red backpack with many pockets and zippers. He wondered what was inside. He opened the backpack and found a map, a flashlight, a hat, and a compass. He felt adventurous. He wanted to go on an adventure with the backpack. + +He put on the hat and the backpack and took the map, the flashlight, and the compass. He said to his teddy bear, "Come on, Teddy, let's go explore!" He opened his door and went outside. + +He followed the map to the park. He used the flashlight to look under the slide, the compass to find the north, and the hat to shade his eyes from the sun. He had fun finding new things and places. He felt like a real explorer. + +But he did not notice that the sun was going down and it was getting dark. He looked at the map and realized he was far from home. He felt scared. He did not know how to go back. He wished he had organized his things better and stayed in his room. He hugged his teddy bear and hoped someone would find him. +Lila and Ben are playing with their dolls. Lila has a big doll with a pink dress and long hair. Ben has a small doll with a blue shirt and short hair. They pretend that their dolls are friends and go to the park. + +"Let's have a picnic," Lila says. She takes out a plastic plate and some pretend food. "You can have the apple and I can have the cake." + +Ben nods and puts his doll next to Lila's. He takes the apple and pretends to bite it. "Yum, this is good," he says. + +Lila smiles and cuts a piece of cake with a plastic knife. She gives it to her doll and says, "Here you go, Grace. You are so graceful and pretty. You deserve a treat." + +Ben frowns and looks at his doll. He thinks his doll is not as nice as Lila's. He says, "What about my doll? What is his name? What does he deserve?" + +Lila shrugs and says, "I don't know. You can name him whatever you want. He can have some water, I guess." + +Ben feels sad and angry. He thinks Lila is not fair. He says, "That's not nice. You are giving your doll more than mine. You are not sharing. You are bossy. You are giving orders." + +Lila gasps and says, "No, I'm not. I'm just playing. You are being mean. You are hurting my feelings." + +They start to argue and yell. Their dolls fall to the ground. They forget about the picnic and the park. They are not having fun anymore. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big box. They open the box and see two suits. The suits are shiny and have buttons and wires. + +"Wow, look at these suits!" Sam says. "They are like space suits!" + +"Let's try them on!" Ben says. "Maybe we can go to the moon!" + +They put on the suits and press the buttons. The suits make a loud noise and start to fly. Sam and Ben are very happy. They fly over the trees and the houses. They see the sky and the clouds. + +"Look, there is the moon!" Sam says. "It is very big and bright!" + +"Can we go there?" Ben asks. "It is very far away!" + +"Maybe we can!" Sam says. "Let's fly faster!" + +They fly faster and faster. The moon gets bigger and bigger. They are almost there. But then, they hear a voice. + +"Sam! Ben! Come back!" The voice is their mom. She is standing in the garden. She is very worried. She sees them flying in the sky. + +"Mom!" Sam and Ben say. "We are going to the moon!" + +"No, you are not!" Mom says. "You are in trouble! Those suits are not toys! They are for dad's work! He is a scientist! He needs them for his experiments! Come back right now!" + +Sam and Ben feel sad. They like the suits. They want to go to the moon. But they also love their mom. They do not want to make her angry. They press the buttons again. The suits stop flying and start to fall. They land in the garden. Mom runs to them and hugs them. + +"I'm sorry, mom!" Sam and Ben say. "We did not know! We just wanted to have fun!" + +"I know, my boys!" Mom says. "But you have to be careful! Those suits are very dangerous! They are not for children! They are for adults! You could have gotten hurt! Or lost! Or worse!" + +She takes off the suits and puts them back in the box. She sets the box in the garage. She locks the door. + +"Please, do not touch the box again!" Mom says. "Promise me!" + +"We promise, mom!" Sam and Ben say. "We are sorry!" + +Mom smiles and kisses them. She takes them inside. She gives them cookies and milk. She tells them stories about the moon and the stars. She says that maybe one day, when they are older, they can go to the moon. But only with dad. And only with his permission. + +Sam and Ben listen and nod. They still like the suits. They still want to go to the moon. But they also like the cookies and the milk. And the stories. And mom. And dad. And each other. They are happy. They forget about the distant moon. For now. +Jenny loved her journal. She wrote and drew in it every day. She made it with her mom from old papers and stickers. It was her favorite thing. + +One day, a man came to her house. He said he wanted to buy old things. He saw Jenny's journal on the table. He said, "What a nice journal! Can I have it?" + +Jenny said, "No, it is mine. I made it with mom. I write and draw in it. It is not for sale." + +The man said, "But I will give you a lot of money for it. You can buy new things with it. Don't you want new things?" + +Jenny said, "No, I don't want new things. I want my journal. It is comfortable and special. Please go away." + +The man did not listen. He grabbed Jenny's journal and ran out of the door. Jenny cried and screamed. She ran after him, but he was too fast. He got in his car and drove away. + +Jenny was very sad. She lost her journal. She had no money. She had no new things. She had nothing. She wished she never saw the man. She wished she still had her journal. She wished her mom was home. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to make a fort with the box, but they have different ideas. + +"I want to cut a window here," Lily says, pointing to the side of the box. + +"No, I want to cut a door there," Ben says, pointing to the same spot. + +They both grab the scissors and pull hard. The box rips and falls apart. + +"Look what you did!" Lily cries. + +"It's your fault!" Ben yells. + +They are very mad at each other. They go to their rooms and slam the doors. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees the broken box and the scissors on the floor. She is not happy. + +She knocks on Lily's door and then on Ben's door. She tells them to come out and talk. + +They come out, but they do not look at each other. They cross their arms and pout. + +Mom says, "You two need to calm down and say sorry. Fighting is not nice. Why don't you try some yoga with me? It will help you relax and be kind." + +Lily and Ben do not know what yoga is. Mom shows them some poses. She tells them to breathe and stretch. + +They try to copy Mom, but they feel silly. They giggle and wobble. They fall down and bump into each other. + +They look at each other and laugh. They realize they are not mad anymore. They hug and say sorry. + +Mom smiles and says, "That's better. Yoga is good for you. It's also cheap. You don't need anything but your body and your mind." + +Lily and Ben agree. They like yoga. They ask Mom if they can do it again. + +Mom says, "Sure, anytime. But first, let's clean up the mess in the garage. And next time, share the scissors and the box, okay?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Okay, Mom." + +They go to the garage and help Mom. They are happy and peaceful. They have learned to surrender their anger and to share their toys. +Lily loved to bake with her mum. They made cakes and pies and cookies for everyone. Lily wanted to be a famous baker when she grew up. She liked to wear a big hat and an apron and use a big spoon. + +One day, Lily and her mum were baking a cake for dad's birthday. Lily helped to mix the batter and pour it into the pan. She was very careful and did not spill. Mum put the pan in the oven and set the timer. Then she said, "Lily, can you please throw away the egg shells in the bin?" + +Lily nodded and took the egg shells to the bin. But on the way, she saw something shiny on the table. It was a silver star. Lily liked stars. She thought it would look nice on her hat. She put the egg shells down and reached for the star. + +But the star was not a star. It was a pin. A sharp pin that mum used to sew. Lily did not know that. She grabbed the pin and felt a sting in her finger. She cried out loud and dropped the pin. Mum heard her and ran to her. + +"Lily, what happened?" mum asked. She saw the blood on Lily's finger and the pin on the floor. She understood. She hugged Lily and said, "Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. That was not a star. That was a pin. It can hurt you. You have to be careful with pins. Let me get a band-aid for you." + +Lily felt sorry too. She said, "I'm sorry, mum. I wanted to put a star on my hat. I did not know it was a pin. I did not mean to hurt myself. I love you, mum." + +Mum smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my star. You don't need a pin on your hat. You are already famous to me." She kissed Lily's finger and put a band-aid on it. Then she said, "Come on, let's go and check on the cake. I'm sure dad will love it. And you can help me decorate it with some real stars." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mum. Let's go and bake. I like to bake with you. You are the best mum in the world." They held hands and went to the kitchen. They baked and decorated the cake and had a happy birthday party for dad. Lily forgot about the pin and the pain. She only remembered the love and the fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. Tom had a stick for a weapon. Lily had a flower crown. They ran and laughed and had fun. + +But then they saw a dark cloud in the sky. It was big and scary. It made a loud noise like thunder. Tom and Lily were afraid. They wanted to go home. + +They ran to the gate, but it was locked. They could not get out. They looked for help, but no one was there. They were alone in the park. + +Then they heard a voice. It was their dad. He had arrived to pick them up. He had a key for the gate. He opened it and hugged them. He said he was sorry he was late. He said he was proud of them for being brave. + +Tom and Lily were happy to see their dad. They showed him their weapon and their crown. They told him about their game. They got in the car and went home. They felt safe and loved. The dark cloud was gone. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw some ducks in the pond and waved to them. The ducks quacked and swam away. + +"Time to go home, kids," mom said. "It's getting dark and we need to have dinner." + +Lily and Ben did not want to go home. They wanted to play more. They were grumpy and said no. + +"Please, mom, just a little more," Lily begged. + +"Sorry, sweetie, but it's night and we have to go," mom said. "Look, the moon and the stars are out. They are waving to us too. Can you wave back?" + +Lily and Ben looked up and saw the bright moon and the twinkling stars. They were pretty and made them smile. They waved back and said hello. + +"See, it's not so bad to go home at night," mom said. "We can have a yummy dinner, a warm bath and a cozy bed. And we can read a story together. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and agreed. They hugged mom and said sorry for being grumpy. They held mom's hand and walked home. They waved to the moon and the stars one more time and said good night. +Sam and Lily liked to pretend they were teachers. They had a desk in their room with books and pencils and papers. They took turns to sit at the desk and give lessons to the other one. + +One day, Sam was the teacher and Lily was the student. Sam had a big book with pictures of animals. He opened the book and pointed to a lion. + +"What is this?" he asked Lily. + +"A lion!" Lily said. "It is big and yellow and has a mane." + +"Very good!" Sam said. "Now, what sound does a lion make?" + +Lily thought for a moment. Then she opened her mouth and roared as loud as she could. + +"Rrrraaaarrrr!" she said. + +Sam and Lily laughed. They liked to make animal sounds. + +But then they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. + +"Hi, kids," she said. "What are you doing?" + +"We are pretending to be teachers," Sam said. + +"We are learning about animals," Lily said. + +Mom smiled. She was happy to see them having fun. + +"That's great," she said. "But can you please pretend a little quieter? Your dad is working in the next room and he needs to be alert." + +"OK, mom," Sam and Lily said. + +They closed the book and whispered to each other. + +"Let's pretend we are mice," Sam said. + +"OK," Lily said. "But we have to be very quiet." + +They crawled under the desk and made tiny squeaks. They pretended they were mice and had fun. +Anna and Ben are going on a plane with Mom and Dad. They are very excited to see the big sky and the clouds. They have their backpacks with toys and snacks. They say hello to the people who check their tickets and bags. + +They walk to the plane and find their seats. Mom and Dad help them buckle their belts. Anna and Ben look out the window and see the wing and the engine. They hear a voice on the speaker. It is the pilot. He says, "Hello, everyone. Welcome to flight 123. We are ready to take off. Please stay in your seats and enjoy the ride." + +The plane moves faster and faster on the ground. Then it lifts up in the air. Anna and Ben feel a little funny in their tummies. They see the houses and cars get smaller and smaller. They see the blue sky and the white clouds. They smile and clap their hands. + +The pilot flies the plane for a long time. He tells them when they are over the mountains, the rivers, and the lakes. He shows them different shapes and colors in the clouds. He makes jokes and sings songs. Anna and Ben laugh and have fun. + +The pilot says, "We are almost there. We are going to land soon. Please put your backpacks under your seats and buckle your belts again. Thank you for flying with us. You are very good passengers." + +The plane goes down and down. It touches the ground and slows down. It stops at the gate. The pilot says, "We have arrived. You can get off the plane now. Have a nice day. Goodbye." + +Anna and Ben get off the plane with Mom and Dad. They see the pilot standing by the door. He is wearing a hat and a jacket.

She said she would ask the neighbor to feed Lila and play with her. + +Mia was not happy. She hugged Lila and said goodbye. She told Lila to be good and not to forget her. She put Lila in her cage and left with her mom. She prayed that Lila would be safe and happy. + +The neighbor was a nice man. He came every day to give Lila food and water. He also talked to Lila and listened to her words and songs. He liked Lila. He thought she was a smart and funny bird. He decided to take Lila to his house. He thought Lila would be happier there. He thought Mia would not mind. He did not tell Mia or her mom. + +Mia missed Lila a lot. She called her mom every day and asked about Lila. Her mom said Lila was fine.

It is green and round. + +"Look, a melon!" Sara says. "Can we eat it?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is not ready." + +They go closer to the melon. They touch it. It feels hard and smooth. + +"It is ready!" Sara says. "Let's pick it and cut it." + +She pulls the melon. But it does not come off. It is stuck to the vine. + +"Help me, Ben!" Sara says. + +Ben pulls the melon too. But it still does not come off. They pull harder and harder. + +"Stop!" a voice says. It is Mom. She comes to the garden. She sees Sara and Ben pulling the melon. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. + +"We want to eat the melon," Sara says. + +"But it is not ready," Mom says. "It is still green.

Ben asks. + +"Yes, you can," Mom says. "You can water it every day. You can prevent bugs and birds from eating it. You can talk to it and sing to it. And you can watch it change color and size.

She said Lily should be happy with what she had, and not want more. Lily was angry. She wanted the machine very much. + +When mom was not looking, Lily took the machine and ran to her room.

Lily waited for Anna to come out, but she did not. + +Lily opened the machine and saw Anna inside. She was very small, but not in a good way. She was not a doll anymore. She was a lump of plastic and cloth. Her dress was tight and burned. Her hair was melted and twisted. Her face was gone. + +Lily screamed and cried. She had ruined her favorite doll.

He liked to eat it with cheese and sauce. He liked to twirl it with his fork and slurp it with his mouth.

He hoped his mom would forgive him. He hoped he would have spaghetti again soon. He hoped it would be fine. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and bridges. Anna is very independent. She does not like to share or follow rules. Ben is more careful. He likes to make his blocks strong and balanced. + +"Look at my tower!" Anna says. "It is the biggest and the best!" + +Ben looks at Anna's tower. It is very tall, but it is also very wobbly. He thinks it will fall down soon. + +"Your tower is too heavy," Ben says. "It will destroy itself." + +Anna does not listen to Ben. She thinks he is jealous. She adds more blocks to her tower. She wants to make it even bigger and better. + +"Stop!" Ben says. "You are making it worse!" + +Anna ignores Ben. She puts one more block on top of her tower. But that is too much. The tower cannot hold the weight. It starts to shake and tilt. Then it crashes down. Blocks fly everywhere. Some hit Anna and Ben. They both cry. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Anna and Ben say. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees the mess and the tears. She hugs Anna and Ben and helps them clean up. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Anna says. "I was trying to make a big tower, but I destroyed it." + +"I'm sorry, too, Mom," Ben says. "I was trying to warn Anna, but she did not listen." + +Mom smiles and kisses them. "It's okay, my loves," she says. "You can try again. But next time, remember to share and cooperate. Building together is more fun and more safe." +Tom liked to pick blueberries with his mom. They went to a big field where there were many blueberry bushes. Tom's mom told him to only pick the ripe ones, the ones that were dark and sweet. She also told him to watch out for the bees, the ones that buzzed and stung. + +Tom was a good boy and listened to his mom. He picked many ripe blueberries and put them in his basket. He saw some bees, but he did not bother them. He was happy and proud of his blueberries. + +But then he saw something shiny. It was a big metal can. It had a picture of blueberries on it. Tom thought it was a blueberry can. He wanted to see what was inside. He left his basket and ran to the can. He did not see his mom. He did not hear her call him. + +Tom reached the can and opened it. He was surprised. It was not a blueberry can. It was a trap. It had honey and a string. The string was connected to a bell. The bell was loud. It rang and rang. It scared Tom. It also scared the bees. The bees came out of their hives. They saw Tom and the can. They thought he was a thief. They were angry. They flew to Tom and stung him. + +Tom cried and cried. He dropped the can and ran to his mom. His mom saw him and hugged him. She saw the bees and the can. She understood what happened. She was sorry for Tom. She also scolded him. She told him he was foolish. He did not recognize a trap. He did not listen to her. He left his blueberries. He hurt himself and the bees. + +Tom learned his lesson. He said he was sorry. He said he would not do it again. He said he would only pick ripe blueberries. He said he would watch out for the bees. He said he would listen to his mom. He said he loved her. His mom said she loved him too. She gave him a kiss and a band-aid. She helped him pick up his blueberries. They went home. They made blueberry pie. It was delicious. Tom was happy. He was also a little foolish. But he was a good boy. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They run, ride and fly. They have fun. + +But after a while, they feel hungry. They want to eat something. They look around. They see a big melon on a table. It is green and round. It looks yummy. + +"Look, Ben, a melon!" Mia says. "Can we have some?" + +"I don't know, Mia. Maybe it is for someone else." Ben says. "We should ask first." + +They go to the table. They see a lady. She is smiling. She has a knife and a plate. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like melon?" she asks. + +"Yes, we do!" Ben and Mia say. + +"Well, you are in luck. This is my melon. I brought it for a picnic. But it is too big for me. Do you want to share it with me?" she asks. + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Mia say. + +The lady cuts the melon. She gives them some pieces. They are juicy and sweet. Ben and Mia eat them. They say thank you. + +They are not hungry anymore. They are happy. They make a new friend. They go back to play in the park. They have more fun. +Lily and Ben were miserable. It was raining outside and they could not play. They had no toys or books to have fun with. Their mom was busy and their dad was away. + +"Can we cook something, mom?" Lily asked. She liked to cook with mom sometimes. They made cakes and pies and cookies. + +"Not now, sweetie. I have to finish this work. Maybe later," mom said. She looked tired and sad. + +Lily and Ben sighed. They looked around the room. They saw a rod leaning on the wall. It was dad's fishing rod. He used it to catch fish in the lake. + +"Let's play with the rod," Ben said. He took the rod and pretended to fish. He made a sound like a fish. "Splash, splash, splash!" + +Lily laughed. She joined him. She took a scarf and tied it to the end of the rod. She pretended it was a worm. She threw it on the floor. "Here, fishy, fishy, fishy!" + +Ben tried to catch the worm with the rod. He missed. He tried again. He missed. He tried one more time. He caught it! + +"Yay, I got a fish!" Ben shouted. He lifted the rod and the scarf. He smiled. + +Lily clapped. She was happy. She said, "Good job, Ben! Now we can cook the fish and eat it!" + +They ran to the kitchen with the rod and the scarf. They showed mom. They said, "Look, mom, we caught a fish! Can we cook it, please?" + +Mom looked at them. She saw their faces. They were not miserable anymore. They were excited and proud. She smiled. She said, "Sure, why not? Let's cook the fish. But first, let's wash it. It's a very dirty fish." + +Lily and Ben giggled. They washed the scarf. They helped mom cook it. They pretended to eat it. They had fun. They forgot about the rain. They were happy. +It was a cold day and Lily wanted to play outside. But Mom said no, it was too cold and snowy. Lily was sad and bored. She looked around the house for something fun to do. + +She saw a big box in the living room. It was a gift for Dad's birthday. Mom had wrapped it with shiny paper and a bow. Lily liked the paper. It was red and green and sparkly. She wanted to touch it and see what was inside. + +She went to the box and pulled on the bow. The paper ripped and the box opened. Inside was a huge pillow. It was soft and fluffy and had a picture of a dog on it. Lily loved dogs. She smiled and hugged the pillow. + +She decided to make a fort with the pillow and the couch. She dragged the pillow to the couch and put it behind it. She found a blanket and threw it over the couch and the pillow. She crawled under the blanket and into her fort. It was cozy and warm. She felt happy. + +She heard Mom coming. She was afraid Mom would be mad at her for opening the gift. She hid under the blanket and hoped Mom would not see her. But Mom saw the ripped paper and the open box. She looked under the couch and saw Lily and the pillow. + +"Lily, what did you do?" Mom asked. She was not happy. + +Lily felt sorry. She peeked out from the blanket and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to play. I made a fort with the pillow and the couch. It's for Dad. Do you like it?" + +Mom sighed. She was not mad anymore. She smiled and said, "It's a very nice fort, Lily. But you should not open gifts that are not yours. That pillow is for Dad. He will love it, but he will also want to be surprised. Can you help me wrap it again?" + +Lily nodded. She came out of the fort and gave the pillow to Mom. She helped Mom wrap it with new paper and a new bow. They put it back in the box and hid it in the closet. Mom hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good helper. And you are very creative. How about we make some hot chocolate and read a story on the couch?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please. I love you, Mom." + +"I love you too, Lily," Mom said. They went to the kitchen and made hot chocolate. Then they snuggled on the couch and read a story. Lily felt happy and warm. She liked the couch and the pillow and the story. But she liked Mom the most. +Lila and Ben are friends who like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. One day, they decide to make a big tower with all the blocks they have. They work hard and stack the blocks high and wide. They are very proud of their tower. + +"Look at our tower!" Lila says. "It is so big and original. No one has a tower like ours." + +"Yes, it is amazing!" Ben says. "We are the best builders ever. Do you think we can mail our tower to someone?" + +Lila thinks for a moment. She likes the idea of sharing their tower with someone else. But she also likes their tower and does not want to lose it. + +"Who do you want to mail it to?" she asks. + +Ben thinks too. He remembers his grandma, who lives far away and sends him letters and stickers sometimes. He loves his grandma and misses her. + +"Maybe we can mail it to my grandma," he says. "She would like our tower. She likes colorful things and she always says we are creative." + +Lila nods. She likes Ben's grandma too. She is very nice and tells funny stories. She thinks she would like their tower too. + +"Okay, let's mail it to your grandma," she says. "But how do we do that?" + +Ben looks around. He sees a big cardboard box in the corner. He has an idea. + +"Maybe we can put our tower in that box," he says. "And then we can write a letter and draw a picture and put them in the box too. And then we can ask mom or dad to take the box to the mail place." + +Lila likes Ben's idea. She thinks it is clever and kind. + +"Let's do that," she says. "But first, let's take a photo of our tower. So we can remember it and show it to our friends." + +Ben agrees. He finds his mom's phone and takes a photo of their tower. They smile and hug their tower. Then they carefully take apart their tower and put the blocks in the box. They also write a letter and draw a picture for Ben's grandma. They tape the box and write "To Grandma" on it. They are ready to mail their tower. + +They go to find mom or dad and show them their box. Mom and dad are surprised and impressed by their tower and their letter and their picture. They praise them for their work and their generosity. They agree to take the box to the mail place. + +Lila and Ben are happy. They hope their grandma will like their tower. They also hope she will write back and send them a photo of her with their tower. They think they have done a good thing. They hug each other and go to play with some other toys. They are still the best builders ever. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. It was a hot day and they were thirsty. They saw a water fountain near the swings. Sara ran to the fountain and pushed the button. Water came out and she drank some. + +"Tom, come here! There is water!" Sara called to her friend. + +Tom was on the slide. He did not hear Sara. He wanted to slide again and again. He did not care about the heat. He was ignorant of how thirsty he was. + +Sara waited for Tom. She drank more water. She felt better. She saw Tom sliding. She waved to him. + +"Tom, you need water! It is hot!" Sara shouted. + +Tom finally heard Sara. He looked at her. He saw the water fountain. He felt his mouth dry. He realized he was thirsty. He ran to the fountain. He pushed the button. No water came out. He pushed again and again. Still no water. + +"Sara, there is no water!" Tom cried. + +Sara looked at the fountain. She saw a sign. It said: "Out of order. Sorry for the inconvenience." + +"Oh no, Tom. The fountain is broken. We cannot get water here." Sara said. + +Tom was sad. He was thirsty. He wished he had listened to Sara. He was sorry he was ignorant. + +"What can we do, Sara?" Tom asked. + +Sara thought for a moment. She remembered there was a store near the park. They sold drinks and snacks. She had some money in her pocket. + +"I have an idea, Tom. Come with me. We can go to the store and buy some juice. Maybe they have some ice too. That will cool us down." Sara said. + +Tom liked Sara's idea. He followed her. They left the park and walked to the store. They managed to find some juice and ice. They paid the money and thanked the storekeeper. They drank the juice and ate the ice. They felt better. They were not thirsty anymore. They were happy. + +"Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. You are smart. You are not ignorant." Tom said. + +"You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. You are fun. You are not ignorant. You just forgot about the heat." Sara said. + +They smiled at each other. They decided to go back to the park and play some more. But this time, they remembered to drink water when they were thirsty. They did not want to be ignorant of the heat again. They wanted to be healthy and happy. +Tom is a wealthy boy. He has many toys and clothes and books. He lives in a big house with his mom and dad and dog. He likes to play and learn and have fun. + +One day, Tom wants to go to the park with his dog. He asks his mom if he can go. His mom says yes, but he has to wash his hands first. She gives him some soap and water. Tom rubs the soap on his hands and makes bubbles. He likes the bubbles. He blows them and pops them and laughs. + +But Tom forgets to rinse his hands. He still has soap on them. He runs to the park with his dog. He sees a slide and a swing and a sandbox. He wants to try them all. He climbs the slide and slides down. He pushes the swing and swings high. He digs the sand and makes a castle. + +But the soap on his hands makes everything slippery. He slides off the slide and falls on the grass. He flies off the swing and lands on the dirt. He breaks the sand castle and gets sand in his eyes. He cries and cries. His dog barks and barks. + +His mom hears him and comes to the park. She sees him and hugs him. She wipes his tears and his sand and his soap. She says sorry and kisses him. She says he has to be careful with soap. She says soap is good for washing, but not for playing. She says she loves him and he is a good boy. She takes him and his dog home. She gives him a snack and a drink and a new toy. Tom smiles and says thank you. He learns his lesson. He is happy. +Anna and Ben are in school. They like to draw on the blackboard with chalk. The blackboard is big and black. They can draw many things on it. + +One day, Anna and Ben want to draw different things. Anna wants to draw a flower. Ben wants to draw a car. They both want to use the same part of the blackboard. They start to argue. + +"No, I want to draw here!" Anna says. + +"No, I want to draw here!" Ben says. + +They push and pull each other. They make a lot of noise. The teacher hears them. She is not happy. + +"Anna and Ben, stop fighting!" the teacher says. "You have to share the blackboard. You can draw on different parts of it. Or you can draw something together." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They say sorry to the teacher. + +"Sorry, Anna," Ben says. + +"Sorry, Ben," Anna says. + +"Sorry, teacher," they both say. + +The teacher smiles. She gives them some more chalk. She says, "Why don't you draw a flower and a car together? That would be a nice picture." + +Anna and Ben like the idea. They thank the teacher. They say, "Thank you, teacher." + +They draw a flower and a car together on the blackboard. They use different colors of chalk. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily liked to make bracelets with her beads. She had many beads of different colors and shapes. She could make bracelets for her friends, her family, and herself. She was very proud of her bracelets. + +One day, she found a new bead in her box. It was shiny and round, like a pearl. It had a hole in the middle, like the other beads. Lily thought it was very pretty. She wanted to use it for her next bracelet. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, can I use this bead? It is so pretty." + +Her mom looked at the bead and frowned. She said, "No, Lily, you can't use that bead. That is not a bead. That is a pill. It is for sick people. If you swallow it, you could get very sick. Or even dead. You don't want to be dead, do you?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to be dead. She wanted to be alive and happy. She said, "Sorry, mom. I did not know. I will not use it. I will put it back in the box." + +Her mom said, "Good girl. But don't put it back in the box. Give it to me. I will put it away, where you can't reach it. It is not safe for you. Be careful with your beads, okay?" + +Lily nodded. She gave the pill to her mom. She said, "Okay, mom. I will be careful. I will start a new bracelet with my other beads. Can you help me?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Of course, I can help you. I love your bracelets. They are very beautiful. Just like you." + +They hugged and kissed. Then they started to make a new bracelet together. Lily was happy. She forgot about the pill. She only thought about the beads. And her mom. And her bracelets. +Sara loved her rabbit, Floppy. He was fat and soft and had long ears. Sara liked to hug him and feed him carrots. She wanted to teach him how to do tricks, like jump and roll. + +One day, Sara took Floppy to the park. She saw a boy with a dog. The dog could sit and shake and fetch. Sara thought that was cool. She asked the boy, "How did you teach your dog to do that?" + +The boy said, "I gave him treats and praised him when he did what I wanted. You have to be patient and kind. Do you want to try?" + +Sara said, "Yes, please. Can you help me teach my rabbit?" + +The boy said, "Sure, but I don't think rabbits can do the same things as dogs. They are different animals. Maybe we can find something else they can do." + +They looked around the park and saw a slide. Sara had an idea. She said, "Maybe we can teach Floppy to slide. That would be fun." + +The boy said, "OK, let's try. But be careful. Don't hurt your rabbit." + +They put Floppy on the top of the slide and held him gently. They said, "Ready, Floppy? Go!" and let him go. Floppy slid down the slide and landed on the grass. He looked surprised and scared. He ran away and hid under a bench. + +Sara and the boy ran after him. They said, "Sorry, Floppy. We didn't mean to scare you. Come back, please." + +They found Floppy under the bench and coaxed him out. They gave him a carrot and petted him. They said, "You did a good job, Floppy. You are a brave rabbit. But maybe sliding is not for you. We won't make you do it again." + +Floppy nibbled the carrot and snuggled with Sara. He forgave them and felt happy. Sara and the boy smiled and said, "We learned something today. We learned that rabbits are different from dogs and that we have to respect their feelings. We also learned that we can be friends and help each other." + +They played with Floppy and the dog for a while. Then they said goodbye and went home. Sara hugged Floppy and said, "I love you, Floppy. You are the best rabbit in the world." Floppy licked her face and said, "I love you, Sara. You are the best girl in the world." +Lily got a new coat for her birthday. It was red and soft and had a big hood. She liked it very much. She wanted to wear it outside and play in the snow. + +"Can I go out, Mommy?" she asked. + +"Yes, you can, but first you have to zip your coat," Mommy said. "It is very cold outside." + +Lily tried to zip her coat, but it was hard. The metal thing was small and slippery. She pulled and pushed, but it did not move. + +"I can't do it, Mommy," she said. "It is too hard." + +Mommy smiled and helped her. She took the metal thing and slid it up the other metal thing. It made a zzz sound. + +"There, you did it," Mommy said. "Now you are warm and cozy." + +"Thank you, Mommy," Lily said. She hugged Mommy and ran outside. She saw her friend Ben waiting for her. He had a new coat too. It was blue and shiny and had a big zipper. + +"Hi, Lily," Ben said. "Do you like my new coat?" + +"Yes, I do," Lily said. "Do you like mine?" + +"Yes, I do," Ben said. "They are both very nice. Let's go make a snowman." + +They ran to the yard and started to roll the snow. They had fun with their new coats and their new zippers. They were happy. +Lily was sad. She looked at the mirror and saw her face. She had a big red spot on her nose. She did not like it. She thought it was ugly. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was her friend Ben. He wanted to play with her. He saw her face and said, "What is that on your nose?" + +Lily felt more sad. She did not want Ben to see her spot. She said, "Go away! I don't want to play with you!" + +Ben was confused. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He said, "Why? I don't care about your spot. I think you are still pretty." + +Lily did not believe him. She thought he was lying. She said, "No, you don't. You think I am ugly. Everyone thinks I am ugly." She started to cry. + +Ben felt sorry for Lily. He wanted to make her happy. He said, "No, I don't. I think you are beautiful. Everyone thinks you are beautiful. Your spot is not ugly. It is just a spot. It will go away soon. Don't cry, Lily. Please." + +He gave her a hug and a kiss. He said, "I like you, Lily. You are my friend. You are not ugly. You are lovely." + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at the mirror again. She saw her face. She saw her spot. She saw Ben's face. He was smiling. She smiled too. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are my friend too. You are not lying. You are nice." + +She gave him a hug and a kiss. She said, "I like you, Ben. You are pretty too. Let's go and play." +Tommy loved to design hats. He used paper, glue, scissors and stickers to make different hats. He made a hat with stars, a hat with flowers, a hat with cars and a hat with animals. He was very proud of his hats. He thought they were brilliant. + +One day, he wanted to show his hats to his friend Lily. He put them in a big bag and went to her house. He knocked on the door and Lily opened it. She saw his bag and asked, "What is in there?" + +"These are my hats. I designed them. Do you want to see them?" Tommy said. + +"Sure, let me see." Lily said. She took the bag from Tommy and opened it. She looked at his hats and laughed. "These are not hats. These are silly. They are ugly and messy. You are not a good designer. You are a bad designer." She said. + +Tommy felt very sad and angry. He liked his hats. He thought they were brilliant. He wanted Lily to like them too. He said, "No, you are wrong. These are hats. They are beautiful and fun. You are not a good friend. You are a bad friend." He said. + +Lily and Tommy started to argue. They shouted and called each other names. They did not listen to each other. They did not care about each other's feelings. They were not friends anymore. + +Tommy took his bag and ran away. He cried all the way home. He did not want to see Lily again. He did not want to design hats again. He felt very lonely and unhappy. He wished he had a good friend who liked his hats. He wished he had a brilliant hat that made him smile. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Tom is scared. + +"Come on, Tom, it is fun!" Lily urges Tom. "You can go with me. I will hold your hand." + +Tom shakes his head. "No, no, it is too high. I don't like it. I want to play under the tree." + +Lily sighs. She likes Tom, but he is not very brave. She thinks of a way to make him try the slide. + +"Look, Tom, there is a cat under the slide. It is cute and fluffy. Don't you want to pet it?" Lily says. + +Tom loves cats. He looks under the slide and sees the cat. It is black and white and has green eyes. It looks at Tom and meows. + +"Wow, a cat!" Tom says. He forgets his fear and runs to the slide. He climbs the stairs and reaches the top. He sees Lily waiting for him. + +"See, Tom, it is not so bad. The slide is fun and reliable. It will not break or hurt you. And you can pet the cat when you go down. Are you ready?" Lily says. + +Tom nods. He holds Lily's hand and smiles. He feels brave and happy. He and Lily slide down together. They laugh and scream. They land on the ground and run to the cat. The cat purrs and lets them pet it. Tom and Lily hug the cat and each other. They are proud of themselves. They have a new friend and a new game. They decide to go on the slide again and again. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. Today, they saw a big yellow ball in the sky. It was very bright and warm. It made them happy. + +"Look, Lily, the ball is glowing!" Tom said. + +"Yes, it is. It is the sun. It gives us light and heat," Lily said. + +They ran to the grass and lay down. They looked at the sun and the clouds. They made shapes with their fingers. + +"Can you see that cloud? It looks like a dog," Tom said. + +"I see it. And that one looks like a flower," Lily said. + +They giggled and pointed at more clouds. They had fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was their neighbor, Mr. Grumpy. He was always angry and mean. He did not like children or noise. + +"Hey, you two, stop making noise! You are bothering me!" he shouted. + +He came out of his house and waved his fist. He had a big frown on his face. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not like Mr. Grumpy. They got up and ran to their house. + +"Sorry, Mr. Grumpy, we were just playing," Lily said. + +"Play somewhere else! And don't look at the sun! It will hurt your eyes!" Mr. Grumpy said. + +He went back to his house and slammed the door. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They did not understand why Mr. Grumpy was so mean. They liked the sun and the clouds. They liked to play and laugh. + +They went inside and hugged their mom. She was kind and sweet. She gave them cookies and milk. + +"Don't mind Mr. Grumpy, he is just lonely and unhappy. He needs a friend," she said. + +"Maybe we can be his friends," Tom said. + +"Maybe, but we have to be careful. He might not want our friendship," Lily said. + +They thought about it. They decided to make a card for Mr. Grumpy. They drew a sun and a cloud and wrote "We hope you have a good day". + +They put the card in an envelope and left it on his doorstep. They hoped he would like it. + +They went back to their house and smiled. They felt good. They had done something nice. They looked at the sun and the clouds. They still glowed. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. But they also liked to look for shiny things in the dirt. Sometimes they found coins or buttons or rocks. + +One day, they found something very shiny and round. It was a copper ring. It had a funny shape and a hole in the middle. Ben and Lily thought it was a treasure. They put it on their finger and showed it to each other. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "It is so pretty and bright!" + +"I like it too!" Lily said. "Can I have it for a while?" + +Ben nodded and gave the ring to Lily. She smiled and thanked him. She put the ring on her finger and admired it. + +But then, something bad happened. The ring was too small for Lily's finger. It got stuck and hurt her. She tried to pull it off, but it did not move. She started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily said. "It hurts! It hurts! Help me, Ben!" + +Ben heard Lily's cry and ran to her. He saw the ring on her finger and felt sorry for her. He tried to help her take it off, but it was too tight. He did not know what to do. + +"Don't worry, Lily!" Ben said. "I will find a way to help you. Maybe we can use some water or soap or butter. Come on, let's go to the house and ask Mom." + +Ben took Lily's hand and led her to the house. He was a helpful brother. He hoped they could escape the ring and make Lily feel better. He also hoped Mom would not be angry with them for playing with the copper ring. He thought it was a treasure, but maybe it was a trouble. +Anna and Ben like to play with the big maze book. The book has many pages with different mazes. They have to draw a line from the start to the end without touching the walls. Anna and Ben take turns to do the mazes. + +One day, Anna and Ben find a new maze book in the library. It has more pages and harder mazes. They are very excited and want to try it. They sit on the floor and open the book. + +Anna says, "I want to do the first maze. It looks fun." + +Ben says, "No, I want to do it. You always do the first maze." + +Anna says, "But I saw it first. It is not fair." + +Ben says, "But I like it more. It is not fair." + +They start to pull the book from each other. They are both angry and loud. They do not see the librarian coming. + +The librarian says, "Stop! What are you doing? You are making too much noise and you are tearing the book. Give it to me." + +Anna and Ben feel ashamed. They let go of the book and look at the librarian. They see the book has a big rip on the cover. + +The librarian says, "This is a new book. It is very special. You have to be careful with it. You have to say sorry and fix it." + +Anna and Ben say, "We are sorry. We did not mean to hurt the book. We just wanted to do the maze." + +The librarian says, "I understand. But you have to share and take turns. And you have to respect the books. They are for everyone to enjoy. Can you do that?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, we can. We will be good." + +The librarian says, "OK. Here is some tape. You can fix the book. And then you can do the mazes. But one at a time. And quietly." + +Anna and Ben say, "Thank you. We will do that." + +They take the tape and fix the book. They apologize to each other. They decide to do the mazes together. They help each other and have fun. They finish the first maze and smile. They are happy and proud. They are friends again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Ben says. He speaks loud and fast. He is excited. + +"OK, but be careful," Anna says.

She likes the doll. She touches the hair and the dress. + +"Can she speak?" Ben asks. He wants to hear the doll. He moves the eyes and the mouth. + +The doll does not speak. She only makes a noise. "Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz." + +Anna and Ben are scared. They think the doll is broken. They run away from the box. + +"Help, help!" they shout. They speak loud and fast. They are afraid. + +Mom and Dad hear them and come to the yard. They see the box and the doll. + +"Don't worry, kids," Mom says. She speaks soft and slow. She is calm. + +"This is not a doll. This is a robot. She can do many things, but she cannot speak. She only makes a noise. She is a gift for you." + +"A robot?" Anna and Ben ask. They speak loud and fast. They are curious. + +"Yes, a robot. She is great. Do you want to play with her?" Dad says. He speaks loud and fast. He is happy. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They look at the robot. They see the eyes and the mouth. + +"OK, let's play with her!" they say. They speak loud and fast. They are excited. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, they found a big box in the park. It had many toys inside. Lily and Tom were happy. They wanted to take the toys home. + +"Look, Tom, a pink doll! She is so pretty. She belongs to me!" Lily said. + +"No, Lily, she belongs to me! I saw her first. You can have the blue car. It is fast and cool. It belongs to you!" Tom said. + +They began to fight. They pulled and pushed. They did not share. They did not listen. They were harsh. + +A man came. He was angry. He shouted at them. He said the box was his. He said the toys were his. He said they were bad. He took the box away. He left them with nothing. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They cried. They lost the toys. They lost their friend. They learned a hard lesson. +Lily and Tom were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses. Lily had a big red block that was heavy. She wanted to set it on top of her tower, but it was too high. + +"Tom, can you help me?" she asked. "My block is heavy and I want to set it on top of my tower." + +Tom looked at Lily's tower and saw that it was very tall and wobbly. He had a question. + +"Lily, are you sure you want to set your block there?" he asked. "Your tower might fall down and make a big mess." + +Lily nodded. She did not care if her tower fell down. She just wanted to see how high she could make it. + +"Please, Tom, help me," she said. "It will be fun." + +Tom shrugged. He did not want to make Lily sad. He took the heavy block from Lily and lifted it up. He tried to set it on top of the tower, but it was hard. The tower shook and swayed. + +"Be careful, Tom," Lily said. "Don't drop it." + +Tom did not drop it, but he did not set it well either. The block slid off the tower and hit the floor. The tower crashed down with it. Blocks flew everywhere. Lily and Tom gasped. + +"Oh no," Lily said. "Look what we did." + +They looked at the mess of blocks. They felt sorry. They knew they had to clean it up. + +"Sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I tried to help you, but your block was too heavy." + +"It's okay, Tom," Lily said. "It was my fault. I asked you a silly question. Next time, let's build a smaller tower." + +They hugged and smiled. Then they started to pick up the blocks. They learned a lesson. Sometimes, heavy things are not good to set on top of towers. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the pool. The pool is wet and cool. They splash and swim and laugh. + +One day, Tom sees a frog in the pool. He wants to catch it. He swims fast and grabs the frog. The frog is green and slimy. Tom shows it to Lily. + +Lily is scared of the frog. She says, "No, Tom, put it back! The frog does not like the pool. The frog likes the pond. The pond is his home." + +Tom says, "But the frog is cute. Look, he has big eyes and a long tongue. Maybe he wants to be my pet." + +Lily says, "No, Tom, the frog is not a pet. He is wild. He needs to be free. If you keep him, he will be sad." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes the frog, but he likes Lily more. He does not want to make Lily or the frog sad. He says, "OK, Lily, you are right. I will put the frog back in the pond. But first, can I kiss him?" + +Lily says, "Kiss him? Why do you want to kiss him?" + +Tom says, "Maybe he will turn into a prince. Like in the story." + +Lily says, "That is silly, Tom. That is only a story. Frogs do not turn into princes. They stay frogs." + +Tom says, "But maybe this frog is different. Maybe he is magic. There is only one way to find out." + +Tom lifts the frog to his face. He closes his eyes and kisses the frog. The frog croaks and jumps out of his hands. He lands in the pond and swims away. + +Tom opens his eyes and looks at Lily. Lily looks at Tom. They both laugh. Tom says, "Well, that did not work. He is still a frog." + +Lily says, "I told you so. But that was brave of you, Tom. You are a good friend. And a good kisser." + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend too. And a good swimmer." + +They hug and jump back in the pool. They splash and swim and laugh. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a snowman. The snowman is chubby and has a hat and a carrot nose. Tom and Mia are happy. + +"Look at our snowman!" Tom says. "He is so big and funny!" + +"Yes, he is!" Mia says. "Can we tell him a story?" + +"OK, let's tell him a story." Tom says. "What story do you want to tell him?" + +"How about the story of the three bears?" Mia says. "I like that story." + +"Me too." Tom says. "You start." + +Mia starts to tell the story of the three bears. She makes her voice low and high for the different bears. Tom listens and nods. The snowman listens too. He likes the story. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is hungry and cold. He sees the snowman. He thinks the snowman is food. He runs to the snowman and bites his carrot nose. The snowman feels pain. He cries. + +"Help! Help!" The snowman says. "The dog is eating me!" + +Tom and Mia are scared. They scream. They run away. The dog chases them. He wants more food. He is fast and angry. + +Tom and Mia cannot run fast enough. The dog catches them. He bites them. Tom and Mia feel pain. They cry. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Mia say. "The dog is eating us!" + +But no one hears them. No one helps them. The dog eats them. He is full and happy. + +The snowman is alone. He has no nose. He has no friends. He is sad. He wishes he never heard the story of the three bears. He wishes he could freeze and melt away. He cries. The end. +Lila was a bird who liked to make her nest very pretty. She found shiny things and soft things and put them in her nest. She was proud of her nest and showed it to her friends. + +One day, a big wind came and blew away some of Lila's things. She was sad and flew after them. She saw a squirrel who had picked up a shiny ring. "That is mine!" she said. "Give it back!" + +The squirrel looked at the ring and said, "Why do you want this? It is not useful. You cannot eat it or wear it. It is just a thing." + +Lila said, "But it is pretty and I like it. It makes my nest look nice. I value it." + +The squirrel said, "I value nuts and acorns. They are useful. They fill my tummy and keep me warm. You should value useful things too." + +Lila said, "But I value pretty things too. They make me happy and show who I am. You should value pretty things too." + +The squirrel and Lila looked at each other and thought. They realized that they valued different things, but that was okay. They decided to share and trade. The squirrel gave Lila back her ring and Lila gave the squirrel a soft feather. They both smiled and said, "Thank you. You are a good friend." +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to pretend with other things. Tom found an iron on the shelf. He said, "Look, Lily, this is a spaceship. It can fly to the moon and the stars." + +Lily wanted to play too. She said, "Can I be the pilot? I can press the buttons and make noises." She took the iron from Tom and made it zoom in the air. "Vroom, vroom, we are going to the moon!" + +Tom was not happy. He said, "No, Lily, give it back. It is my spaceship. You can have something else." He tried to grab the iron from Lily, but she held it tight. They pulled and pushed, and the iron fell to the floor. It made a loud noise and broke into pieces. + +Tom and Lily paused. They were scared. They knew the iron was not a toy. It was something for grown-ups. It was fragile and could hurt them. They looked at the broken iron and felt sorry. + +They heard their mom coming. She said, "What was that noise? What are you doing?" She saw the iron on the floor and was angry. She said, "Tom, Lily, how could you do this? This iron is not a toy. It is dangerous and expensive. You could have burned yourselves or the carpet. You are in big trouble." + +Tom and Lily said, "We are sorry, mom. We were playing. We did not mean to break it. We will not do it again." They hugged their mom and said, "We love you, mom. Please forgive us." + +Mom was still angry, but she loved them too. She said, "I love you too, but you have to be careful. You have to respect the things that are not yours. You have to learn from your mistakes. Now, go to your room and think about what you did. And no more playing with the iron." She took them to their room and closed the door. She sighed and picked up the pieces of the iron. She hoped it could be fixed. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big box with a lock on it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Maybe it has toys or candy," Sara said. + +"Or maybe it has a dragon or a fairy," Ben said. + +They looked for a key to unlock the box. They found one in the shed. It was shiny and had a star on it. + +They ran back to the box and put the key in the lock. They turned it and heard a click. They opened the box and gasped. + +Inside the box, there was a flame. It was bright and warm and danced in the air. It was very pretty, but also very delicate. It looked like it could go out any moment. + +"Wow, it's a magic flame," Sara said. + +"Be careful, don't touch it," Ben said. + +They watched the flame with wonder. They felt happy and curious. + +"Hello, children," a voice said. + +They looked around and saw a fairy. She was small and had wings and a dress made of flowers. She smiled at them. + +"I'm Flora, the fairy of the flame. Thank you for unlocking the box. I was trapped by a mean witch. She wanted to use my flame for her spells. But you set me free. You are very brave and kind." + +Sara and Ben were amazed. They had never seen a fairy before. + +"Can we play with you?" Sara asked. + +"Of course, you can. I have many stories and games to share with you. But first, we have to hide the box and the key. We don't want the witch to find them again. Come on, follow me." + +Flora flew out of the box and led Sara and Ben to a secret place. They hid the box and the key under some leaves and stones. Then they played and laughed with Flora and her flame. They had a wonderful time. They made a new friend. +Tim saw a weird cat in the park. It had big eyes and a long tail. It was black and white and had spots. Tim liked cats, so he ran to the cat and said, "Hi, cat! Do you want to play?" + +The cat did not say anything. It just blinked at Tim. Tim thought the cat was shy, so he reached out his hand to pet it. But the cat did not like that. It hissed and scratched Tim's hand. Tim cried out and pulled back his hand. It was bleeding and it hurt. + +Tim's mom heard him cry and ran to him. She saw the cat and the blood and was scared. She picked up Tim and said, "Oh, Tim, what happened? Are you okay?" + +Tim sobbed and said, "The cat hurt me, mom. It was a weird cat. It blinked at me and then it scratched me." + +Tim's mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tim. That was a bad cat. It was not a nice cat to play with. Let's go home and clean your wound. Maybe we can find a nice cat another day." + +The cat watched them leave. It blinked again and smiled. It was not a cat at all. It was a shape-shifter. It liked to trick people and hurt them. It was a mean and evil creature. It looked for another victim in the park. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to bathe. Every night, their mom tells them to go to the bathroom and wash their hair and body. But Lily and Max always run away and hide. + +One night, they hide under the bed. They think mom will not find them there. They whisper to each other and giggle. They do not hear mom coming.

They do not want mom to be angry. They do not want to bathe, but they do not want to make mom sad. They look at each other and nod. They crawl out from under the bed and say, "We are here, mom.

And it can be fun, too. Look, I have a surprise for you." + +She takes them to the bathroom and shows them a big tub full of bubbles. She also has some toys and a red rubber duck. She says, "You can play with these in the water. And you can make funny hairstyles with the bubbles. And you can sing songs with the duck. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Max are happy. They say, "Wow, mom, this looks fun. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom." They jump into the tub and splash and laugh. Mom watches them and smiles. She is happy, too. She says, "I love you, too, my loves. Have fun, but do not make too much noise. Your dad is sleeping. He needs silence." + +Lily and Max nod. They lower their voices and play quietly. They bathe and have fun. They do not mind the water anymore. They think mom is the best. They are glad they listened to her. They are good twins. +Lily and her mom went to the shop. Lily saw a dress with flowers on it. She liked it very much. She asked her mom, "Can I have this dress, please?" + +Her mom looked at the price tag. It was too much money. She said, "Sorry, Lily, we can't buy this dress. We have to pay for other things, like food and rent. Maybe we can find another dress that is cheaper." + +Lily was sad. She really wanted the dress. She said, "But mom, this dress is so pretty. I want to wear it to school and show my friends." + +Her mom hugged her. She said, "I know, Lily, but we have to be careful with our money. We have enough clothes at home. You can wear something else that is also pretty. You don't need a new dress to be proud of yourself. You are a smart and kind girl, and that is what matters most." + +Lily thought about what her mom said. She realized that her mom was right. She said, "OK, mom, I understand. I don't need the dress. I have other clothes that I like. And I am proud of myself, because I can read and write and help you with chores." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "That's my girl. I am proud of you, too. Come on, let's go home and have some cookies." + +They left the shop, holding hands. Lily felt happy. She knew that her mom loved her, and that she had everything she needed. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a cricket on the grass. It is green and shiny. + +"Look, a cricket!" Tim says. "Let's catch it!" + +Sam nods. He runs to get a jar. Tim follows him. They want to join the cricket in their game. + +But the cricket is not weak. It can jump very high and very far. Tim and Sam try to catch it, but they miss. The cricket hops away. + +"Wait, cricket, wait!" Tim calls. "We just want to play with you!" + +The cricket does not listen. It jumps over a fence. Tim and Sam cannot follow. They are sad. + +They go back to their jar. It is empty. They see a hole in the lid. + +"Oh no!" Sam says. "The cricket made a hole and escaped!" + +Tim and Sam look at each other. They feel silly. They laugh. + +"Maybe the cricket did not want to join us," Tim says. "Maybe it wanted to play its own game." + +Sam nods. He smiles. + +"Let's play our own game, too," he says. "Maybe we can find another cricket someday." + +Tim and Sam run to the swing. They forget about the cricket. They have fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball.

Lily said. She was curious and wanted to see it closer. + +"Be careful, Lily, it might be dangerous!" Tom said. He was scared and wanted to stay away. + +Lily did not listen. She took the ball and threw it to the leopard. She hoped the leopard would play with her. The leopard saw the ball and ran after it. It caught the ball with its paws and bit it. The ball popped and made a loud noise. + +The leopard was angry. It growled and showed its teeth. It did not like the ball. It did not want to play. It wanted to question Lily and Tom. Why did they throw the ball at it? What did they want from it? + +Lily and Tom were afraid. They realized they made a mistake. They ran back to their parents, who were sitting on a bench.

Peter warned Veronia, saying, "Veronia, next time you come to the lake, don't be so careless and spoil the beautiful view!

I have been stitched together many times.†+Ellie was taken aback as she had never seen scars on people or trees before. She was a little sorry for the tree and said, “Don’t worry, Mr Tree. You will be fine.†+The tree smiled and said, “Yes. I’ll feel better soon.†+The next day, Ellie came back with some of her friends. Miracle of miracles, the stitches on the tree had disappeared! +The tree said proudly, “Look, my scars are all gone!†+Everyone cheered for the tree for feeling better. From that day on, Ellie and her friends visit the tree every day, always feeling touched by its rough appearance. +Philip had a huge boot. It was so big that he could even fit in it. He always loved playing in it. One day, he decided to take it to the park. + +As soon as he got there, he put his boot down and climbed in. His mum looked at him and smiled. She said to her friend, "Look how much fun Philip is having with his Boot!" + +Suddenly, they heard a loud, booming voice. It was coming from the sky and it said, "Philip, come and join me!" + +Philip was amazed and he said to himself, "It's a giant speaking to me!" He stood up, took his huge boot, and walked towards the voice in the sky. + +When he got there, he saw that it was only a small bird. The bird said in a high-pitched voice, "You look so funny in your big boot. Let's be friends." + +Philip smiled and agreed. From that day on, Philip and the small bird were the best of friends. They ran around the park, laughing and playing in Philip's huge boot. +Once upon a time there was a boy named John. He wanted to explore outside his home.

"What are you doing here?" he barked. + +John was scared and stuttered, "Um, I-I was just exploring." + +The man shook his head. "You shouldn't be here, boy. It's not safe." + +John nodded and tried to remain calm. He quickly said goodbye and ran away from the tree as fast as he could. + +From that day on, John was a bit wiser.

John leaned down to her and smiled. + +John knew he had to help her, so he gently took her hands, put his feet on the swing and began to pump. The little girl's eyes opened wide, as the swing slowly began to yield to his push. Before long, the little girl was soaring higher and higher, and she was filled with joy. + +John watched her for a few moments, until her feet touched the grass again.

His mom smiled at him and said, "Come inside and I will show you." + +Once inside, his mom opened the kitchen drawer and showed him a measuring cup with marks on the side.

Emma was so excited when she saw the little creature, she just had to take it home and show her mom. + +On the way, the bear made funny noises, and that made Emma giggle. When she finally got home, Emma displayed the bear proudly to her mom. + +"What a gorgeous little bear," said her mom, impressed. + +Emma was so proud and happy. She wanted to keep the bear forever, but her mom had other ideas. + +"He needs to go back to the woods so he can find his family," explained her mom. + +But Emma was persistent and begged her mom to let her keep the bear. Finally, her mom agreed that Emma could keep the bear on one condition – that Emma took care of him. + +So Emma named the little bear Jack, and he's been living with Emma ever since! Together, they explore the woods and have lots of fun. + +The end. +John and his mom went to the store. Everywhere John looked he saw something he wanted. "Mommy, can I have a crayon?" he asked. + +His mom shook her head. "Crayons are expensive, John," she replied. + +John was disappointed but he knew his mom was right. He knew his mom cared about him and wouldn't buy him something if it was too expensive. + +Then, John found a box of crayons. They were the perfect size and were smiling at him. "Please, Mommy," he begged. + +John's mom hugged him. "I care about you, John," she said. "If this is something you want, then it is alright if we buy it." + +John was so happy he hugged his mom tightly and thanked her. He skipped out of the store with his crayon in hand. +Once there was a tall man called Tom. He loved to help people heal. One day he went to a furniture shop and saw a nice table. He wanted to buy it for his friend to help him heal. + +When he went to pay for the table the shopkeeper said, “It’s not enough money you have. You need more.†+ +Tom was worried, but then he had an idea. He said to the shopkeeper, “I want to help people heal. Can I exchange my service for the table?†+ +The shopkeeper thought for a moment and then replied, “Yes, that could work. How about you come and help my family heal and we can trade?†+ +Tom agreed. He went to the shopkeeper's house and helped heal their family. In exchange the shopkeeper gave Tom the table. + +Tom was happy. He took the table home to his friend and helped him heal. The table was a good reminder of how helping people can be more rewarding than money. +Once upon a time, there was a robot who was very pale. He was walking through the forest one day when he heard a loud noise. He stopped and looked around. + +The robot saw a little girl crying. He asked her, "What's wrong?" + +The girl sniffled and said, "My toy bear ripped. All the stuffing came out. Now it's all broken." + +The robot said, "That's too bad. Don't cry." + +The robot brought out a tool box from his pocket. He started fixing the broken bear. First, he used tape to hold it together. Then he put in some stuffing. + +The girl was so happy! She thanked the robot and hugged him. The robot had a big smile on his face. + +They were both happy and they both had a good day.

She couldn't wait until tomorrow! She was sure it was going to be a lot of fun. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Mary. Mary loved playing outside with her friends. + +One day, Mary's mom told her she would need to stay inside.

She loved all of her dolls and found it fun to act out stories with them. + +Suddenly, Mary heard a loud noise from another room. She opened the door and there was a large, shiny lock! + +Mary reached out to touch the lock and it was very soft. She was very curious and tried to act it out. She pretended the lock was a toy, playing and laughing with it. + +After a while, Mary's mom came upstairs. She said, "Mary, we don't act like that with things that don't belong to us." Mary started to cry, understanding what her mom was trying to say. + +Mary and her mom hugged each other and Mary apologized. + +The moral of the story is that even if something is tempting, it is important to remember to be respectful and act kind with others' things. +One day, Tommy was walking in the park. He saw a funny zebra! Tommy wanted to play with the zebra, so he ran over to it. + +The zebra saw Tommy and said, "What do you want to do?" + +Tommy said, "Let's play a game. You carry me and I'll laugh and giggle!" + +The zebra smiled and said, "Okay! That sounds like fun!" So the zebra picked up Tommy and carried him around the park. + +Tommy was laughing and having a lot of fun. Then, all of a sudden, the zebra stopped and said, "Do you want to go for a ride?" + +Tommy was excited and nodded his head yes. The zebra carried Tommy to the nearby carousel. As they got closer, Tommy could hear the music from the carousel. + +When they arrived, Tommy hopped off of the zebra and ran excitedly toward the carousel. He heard the zebra's deep laughter in the background as he ran. This is going to be so much fun, thought Tommy! +Mama put the poem on the wall. It was a beautiful poem with lots of colours. Mama looked happy and proud when she put it on the wall. + +The poem was about the importance of being obedient. It reminded us to always listen to our mamas and daddies. We should never be naughty or do bad things. + +We all smiled when we saw the poem. We felt so proud and happy that mama had put it up. She said it was there to remind us to always be obedient and do the right thing. + +Every morning when we wake up, we look at the poem and it reminds us to be good and listen to our mama and daddy.

He loved it and wanted to show it off to the world. One day he asked his mother if he could borrow her most colorful scarf. + +His mother looked him in the eye and said, "No, my scarf is too special and I don't want it to get ruined." The little boy felt frustrated and kept begging his mother to lend him the scarf. Finally, his mother said, "I will only lend you the scarf, if you promise to take good care of it." + +So, the boy agreed and happily tied the colorful scarf around his nose. But just a few moments later, a gust of wind blew the scarf away. The boy was devastated and ran after it. He tried his best to catch it, but he was too slow. + +In the end, the boy had to come back home without the scarf.

So, Amy was very happy and accepted the violin with great joy. + +Unfortunately, the violin was very ugly. Amy felt sad because she wanted the violin to look nice and pretty. She asked her parents why the violin was so ugly. Her parents replied that they thought Amy would still be able to make beautiful music with it. But Amy was still not happy. + +She asked them if they could give her a new violin, but her parents refused. They said that this was the only violin they could afford, and she must accept it. But Amy refused to accept the ugly violin and threw it on the floor. + +Amy ran away in tears, feeling very unhappy about the ugly violin. Sadly, she never got to play beautiful music with it. The end. +Joey was so excited when he woke up in the morning. Today his mom said he could help deliver the grocery for their neighbours. He put on his brightest clothes and rushed out to the garden where Mom was already loading up the big boxes with the grocery. + +"What kind of grocery are we delivering today, Mommy?" Joey asked. + +"We are delivering wild fruits and vegetables today, Joey," said Mom. Joey was thrilled and he hopped into the wagon to help deliver the grocery. + +They arrived at the neighbour's house and Joey knocked on the door. An old man opened the door and said in a gruff voice, "I didn't ask for these groceries, you should take them back home!" + +Joey and his mom apologised and went to take the grocery back home. As they were returning home, Joey felt a sad feeling in his heart about the wild grocery that would not get delivered. +One day, Abby went to the park with her mom. She saw a giant olive tree that had so many olives on it. She was so excited and said to her mama, “Mommy, what are those?â€.

When the sun shines, it will always bloom.†+ +Lila was amazed by the butterfly's words.

But the boy scurried away, ran out of the faucet, and was never seen again! + +The poor little bear felt very sad and scared. He was all alone, in a big kitchen, wearing a black cloak, and all he wanted was a friend to play with. But instead, he had ruined the good time the little boy was having.

The modern ocean was bigger than anything he'd ever seen before. He wanted to explore it all. + +His mom grabbed his hand and they started walking along the ocean's edge. Suddenly, Jack slipped and fell into the water. His mom tried to reach for him, but he had already gone out too far. + +As the waves kept coming and going, Jack drifted further and further away from his mom. She kept screaming his name, but he was too far. + +With a heavy heart, she watched helplessly as her son got swept away by the ocean and disappeared into the horizon. +One day a little boy named Tom was playing on the beach near the ocean.

She laughed and laughed at all the colors and shapes. + +At the end of the day, she had made lots of interesting prints. She was so proud of her new creations and decided to keep them all. Whenever she looked at them, she could hardly wait to make more prints. +There was a little boy named Jack. He had a green cord in his hand. One day he decided to stir it. He stirred it and stirred it, around and around the garden. + +When Jack was done stirring the cord, something magical happened. He heard a little crackling of thunder and saw a beautiful rainbow scattered in the sky. + +Jack was so excited! He ran into the house to tell his mum. + +"Mum! Mum!" said Jack.

The air was fresh and the sky was clear. Everything was fit and the sky was calm. People could observe the beautiful day that followed the hurricane. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Ben. Ben was a very curious child. One day he decided to go to the market with his father. +At the market, Ben saw a stall full of delicious looking strawberries.

He then offered Ben a free strawberry to try. +Ben was so excited! He quickly picked the reddest one and bit into it. Unfortunately, the strawberry was very sour. Ben expressed his disappointment, saying "Yuck, this is too sour!" +His father laughed sadly and said,"Ben, this is a lesson for you. Taste is not always what looks best. Be sure to consider more than appearance before you make a judgement." + +Moral of the story: Don't judge a book by its cover, always consider more than appearance before making a judgement. +Once upon a time, there was a red switch. It was a very special switch, but nobody knew what it did. One day, a little boy saw the switch. He wanted to know what would happen if he pushed it. So he reached out and pressed it.

She said, “I will be fine, I can do it.†So, against the worried dad’s advice, she prepared for the journey and left. + +The little girl never returned home that night. The family was very sad and desperate. They searched for her everywhere, even in places that are dark and dangerous. Sadly, they never found her. + +The moral of the story is: be careful and don’t ignore the advice of your parents. It is always better to stay safe, even if you think you know better. Always listen to your parents’ advice and stay safe +Once upon a time there was a mommy, a daddy and a little girl. The little girl was only three years old.

She looked down and around and she felt a sense of balance. + +While she was looking around, a butterfly flew up to her. The butterfly said to her, "Hello there! Do you like it up here?"

Every day, he would load some of the stones into his pocket and go to the beach. Every day, he would build castles using the stones. + +One day, he met a little bird. The bird asked him what he was doing. The bear said, "I'm loading my pocket with stones and building castles with them." + +The bird said, "If you share your stones with me, we can make a bigger, stronger castle."

I am so glad to get this food!†+ +The little boy smiled and said, “You’re welcome! I am happy to help.†Then he waved goodbye, and the shark swam away. The family was glad and said, “Wow! That was very kind of you.†+ +The little boy smiled wider and said, “I wanted to help the hungry shark.†They all cheered and cheered until the shark was out of sight! +Once upon a time, there were two best friends named Jack and Jill. Jack had a big, round, blue marble and Jill wanted it. She asked Jack nicely, but he shook his head "no". + +Jill got angry and started to scatter the marbles all around the floor. "Hey! Don't do that!" exclaimed Jack. But it was too late - the marble had already rolled away far off towards the corner of the room. + +Jack was so mad, but he was also sleepy. So he decided to take a nap. + +When Jack awoke, he noticed something strange - all the marbles were back in one pile, except the big, round one - his special marble! Jack ran to the corner and sure enough, there it was, twinkling in the moonlight. With a smile Jack picked it up and held it tightly in his hand. + +He thanked Jill, but she didn't say anything. Jack knew that it was she who had put it back in the corner. He knew that even if they often argued, they would always be the best of friends. +Once there was a light bird named Bob. Bob loved to fly around the sky and explore. One day, he wanted to try something new. + +He decided to try and fly up to the top of the tallest tree. He flew up and up, getting scared and tired along the way. + +When he finally reached the top, he saw a surprise! A nest of eggs was there! + +Bob was so excited, and he knew he had found success. But then he heard a voice - it was the mother of the eggs, who had come to check on them. + +The mother bird said to Bob, "You cannot take my eggs away. Success comes with hard work and courage, but only with permission." + +Bob realized he hadn't thought of the other animal who lived there. He thanked the mother bird, and flew off, understanding that it's important to respect what belongs to others. +Once upon a time there was a spoiled little girl who liked to cause trouble. She was playing in a big office, feeling brave and strong. Suddenly, a loud noise filled the room and started to shake. The poor little girl began to tremble in fear. + +The frightened girl ran to the corner of the room, where she was safe. But then something strange happened. A big man stepped through the door! He had a stern face and wore a dark suit. + +"What are you doing here?!" the big man said angrily. He grabbed the little girl and pulled her up. "You need to leave right now!" + +The little girl was trembling all over. She begged the man to let her go, but he refused. The little girl was furious and started to kick and scream. + +In the end, the poor girl was dragged out of the office, never to return again. She had been spoiled and caused too much trouble. The bad ending to the story showed that bad behavior has consequences. +Once upon a time there was a regular monkey who liked to have lots of fun. He was always looking for ways to have a good time. One day he decided to take a walk in the park. + +The monkey was walking around when he saw a zip line across the park. He thought it would be fun to go on it and zip around. So he hopped on and started to zip back and forth. He had the time of his life! + +When he was done, he smiled and hopped off the zip line. He was so happy and excited. He continued his walk in the park and was soon off on a new adventure. + +The regular monkey had a great day full of zip and fun.

She instantly knew that she had to take care of it. + +Annabelle carefully carried the pumpkin back to her house. “Mommy, look!†she said, proudly showing off her discovery. + +Mommy smiled. She explained that the pumpkin was fragile and that Annabelle had to take extra special care of it. + +Annabelle nodded, determined to keep her pumpkin safe. She checked up on it every day, watering it and making sure it was happy. + +Every day the little pumpkin grew, and eventually it was the biggest pumpkin in the garden.

Every night before bed, she would sail around her bedroom on her little wooden boat. She dreamed of sailing the seven seas and discovering new lands. + +One night after bedtime, she heard a noise coming from the floor. The noise sounded like voices. She carefully crept across the room and listened. + +"Let's go and sail the world!", said one voice. + +The other voice responded, "I wish! One day I hope to do it too." + +Lola was so envious of the two voices' dream that she forgot to be scared. She popped her head up over the edge of the floor and saw two people with a map in their hands. They looked just like her! + +"We can go on a voyage too!", Lola shouted. Her eyes lit up with excitement. + +The two visitors smiled and invited Lola to join them on their voyage. And so the magical three sailed away into the night, exploring the world and its wonders. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Emma. She was three years old and very curious. She liked to explore and try new things. + +One day Emma saw something very interesting: a raft. She wanted to try to ride on it so she asked her father for permission. Her father said yes, but only if she was polite and took good care of it. + +So Emma went to the pond with the raft and before getting on she said her please and thank you’s. She had so much fun floating around the pond. + +After a while though, Emma heard a loud sound. The sound was coming from the raft. She looked down and saw that one of the wooden planks had broken! + +Emma was very sad and she knew it was her fault. She had not been polite to the raft and she had not taken good care of it. Everything had broken because of her poor treatment. + +So Emma learned an important lesson that day: always be polite and take care of things, or else bad things can happen. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named George. He loved to play and explore in his garden. One day he came across a big raft in his garden. He thought it looked fun, so he went to get on it. + +“Where are you going, George?†asked his mom. + +“I want to roll down the hill on the raft,†said George excitedly. + +“That might be dangerous,†said his mom. “Let’s just play in the garden for now.†+ +But George was stubborn, so he ignored his mom and clambered onto the raft. He rolled down the hill, laughing and shouting as he went. + +Suddenly, the raft hit a rock at the bottom of the hill, and George flew off it. He hurt his arm, and started to cry. + +“I told you it might be dangerous to roll on the raft!†said his mom, rushing to pick him up. “Let’s find something else to do.†+ +George nodded and thanked his mom for taking care of him. From then on, he always remembered to listen to her when she gave advice. +Once upon a time there was a little bear who was looking for something. He was looking all around, when he noticed something shining in the grass. He leaned down and saw it was a silver coin! + +The bear picked up the coin and he said, "I wonder what I can do with this." Suddenly a voice called, "I know what you can do!" + +The bear looked up and saw a little man. The man said, "Count it up and number all the coins! You can see how many you have." + +The little bear smiled and started counting. He found out he had 5 coins! + +"Hooray!" the bear said. The little man smiled, and then he said, "You can use the coins to buy something special. What do you think it should be?" + +The little bear thought for a minute and then he said, "I want a toy truck! It will be so fun to play with." + +The little man said, "That sounds like a great idea! Let's go get you a toy truck." So the bear, the little man and the coins set off in search of the perfect truck. And they all lived happily ever after. +Once upon a time there was a gray basket. It was very special because it could hold many things. + +Everyday, a little girl would put her toys in the basket. She thought it was the best place to keep them safe. + +One day, the little girl had an idea. She would put her toys in the basket and hide it so no one could find them. She said, hiding is fun! + +So, she put the basket in a corner and without any warning, she ran away to play in the park. + +But when she came back, she saw that someone had taken her toys away. She searched high and low, but they were gone. + +The little girl learned a lesson that day. It is important to use caution with your possessions, or you might one day forget where you put them and lose them forever. +Once upon a time, there was a three year old boy named Bob. Bob liked to explore the world around him. One day, he saw a large cloth sitting on the grass. He went over and touched it. + +Bob felt something strange when he touched the cloth. It felt very tough and strong. He couldn't understand why it felt so different than the other things he was used to. So he turned to his mom for help. + +"Mom, why does this cloth feel so tough?" Bob asked his mom curiously. + +His mom smiled. "That's because it's made from a special type of material. It's designed to be tough and durable, so it won't wear out easily," she explained. + +Bob was amazed by this. He couldn't wait to show everyone how tough this cloth was. He thanked his mom for her help and went on his next adventure with the cloth in tow. +Once upon a time, there was an elderly lady who went for a walk in the park. She carried a stick in her hand and waved it around as she strolled. + +At one point, she came across a large group of children who were playing a game in a circle. They had running, hopping and laughing and having a lot of fun. + +The old lady held up her stick and shouted 'Let's have a race!' The children began to cheer and clap. + +The elderly lady took off running, running in a loop around the park with the children chasing after her. Round and round they went, laughing and cheering. + +Finally, when the old lady was the first to cross the finish line, the children clapped and applauded. She waved her stick in the air triumphantly and the children all cheered. + +The elderly lady smiled and thanked the children for their applause. +Once upon a time, two boys were playing in the park. One of the boys had a small toy ship in his hand. He pulled back the ship and let it fly. It flew through the light in the sky and the wind blew it higher and higher. + +The first boy shouted in excitement, "Wow, look how high it went!" + +The second boy smiled and said, "Yes! Let's try again! Can we pull it back and let it go again?" + +The first boy was happy. He said, "Yes! Come on, let's pull it back together!" + +So the two boys pulled the ship back together and let it go. It flew higher and higher into the sky. + +The boys excitedly shouted, "Look how high it went!" Then they smiled and laughed together. It was a light and happy moment. +Once upon a time, there was a berry. It was big, juicy and full of goodness. A fierce dragon came and saw the berry and wanted to eat it. + +"That's my berry," said the berry. "You can't eat me!" + +But the dragon was very fierce and it roared so loudly, it scared the berry. + +"Please don't eat me," said the berry. + +But the dragon was hungry and it ate the berry. + +The dragon was happy and said: "Yum. That was a tasty berry!" + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was a tall beetle. The beetle had an idea. He wanted to lend his friend a ride. So the beetle asked his friend, "Would you like to go for a ride?". His friend looked at the beetle and exclaimed, "Yes! That would be so fun." + +So the beetle went to the nearest hill. He went very fast and it felt like they were flying. His friend was so excited and shouted, "Wheee!" The beetle thought it was great that his friend was having so much fun. + +Eventually, the beetle and his friend made it to the top of the hill. They stayed for a few minutes to admire the view. Then the beetle offered to lend his friend a ride home. His friend replied, "Yes, please! That would be so nice of you." + +So the beetle carefully took his friend down the hill. They laughed and talked the whole way and soon they were home. His friend thanked the beetle for lending him a ride. And from that day on, the beetle and his friend were the best of friends. +Once upon a time, there was an alert ostrich who loved to drive. One day he decided to drive to the beach. When he arrived, he saw his best friend, a turtle. + +“Hi there!†said the turtle. + +“Hi,†said the ostrich. + +The turtle asked, "What are you doing here?" + +The ostrich chuckled and said, “I’m here to drive! It’s so much fun.†+ +The turtle shook his head. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to drive too much,†he said. “It’s not safe and you can get into trouble.†+ +The ostrich thought for a moment. Then he realized the turtle was right. He said goodbye to the turtle, got into his car and drove safely home. + +The moral of this story is that it's important to be alert and not take unnecessary risks. Sometimes it’s better to be safe than sorry. +Once upon a time there was a little fox called Felix. Felix was very playful and every day he went out exploring the woods. On this day he was very excited because he had spotted a big, tasty looking caterpillar. + +He went closer and closer and suddenly, he felt something grab his leg. He looked down and realised he had been caught by a hunter’s trap. He howled with pain and fear. + +“Help!†he shouted. + +Suddenly a small rabbit appeared. “It’s alright,†said the rabbit. “I can fix it.†+ +The rabbit hopped up to the trap and started to play with the levers and gears. Felix watched intently as the rabbit carefully opened the trap and freed him from it. + +“Thank you!†he said, relieved. + +“No problem,†said the rabbit, with a playful smile. “We all have to help each other now and then.†+ +And with a cheerful wave, the rabbit hopped away, leaving Felix feeling very grateful. +The patient was feeling very spicy. She blinked her eyes quickly, looking around the room. Suddenly, a voice said, "Have you taken your medicine yet?" She shook her head no. The voice sighed and said, "I'll get it for you. But you really should take it yourself!" + +The patient took the medicine, but it made her feel worse. She blinked her eyes and waved her arms around, trying to make the feeling go away. But it didn't help. The voice said, "I told you should take it yourself. Now you feel worse." + +The patient felt more and more spicy. Her eyes began to hurt, and her head felt fuzzy. She blinked slowly, trying to keep her eyes open. But they kept closing. Suddenly, she felt herself falling asleep. + +The patient never woke up. She blinked her eyes one last time, and that was the end. +"Look, look, mommy!" Little Johny was pointing to a furry stick on the ground. + +Mommy smiled. "That's a stick, Johny." + +Johny picked up the stick. "It's furry," he said. + +Mommy nodded. "Yes, it is. What do you want to do with it?" + +Johny smiled. "I can snap it," he said, holding the stick between his hands. + +So, Johny snapped the furry stick and laughed as it broke in two pieces. Mommy clapped, pleased at Johny's accomplishment. + +Johny held up the two halves of the stick and smiled. He proudly showed them to mommy. + +Mommy smiled back. "Good job, Johny! You did great!" + +Johny grinned, happy with his new accomplishment. He was glad he was able to snap the furry stick. +There was a yellow apple. It was cold. The apple looked delicious. The little girl decided to taste it. She bit into the cold apple and it was so sweet and juicy! The little girl smiled as she enjoyed every bite. She took another bite of the yellow apple and then looked up at the sky. Above her, the sky was so blue, it seemed to go on forever! +John and Sarah were the best of friends. One day they decided they wanted to do something together. John looked up to the sky and saw a tall bird. He pointed to it and said "Let's join the bird and see where it goes." Sarah was excited, but worried at the same time. She said "But we don't know where it will take us!" John said "Don't worry, let's just join it and see what happens!" + +So they joined the bird and followed it. The bird flew over the sky and brought them to a beautiful lake. There were some colorful boats at the lake, so they hopped in one and sailed across the lake. + +When they reached the other side of the lake something caught their attention. They saw a mail box with a red flag on it. They had seen mail boxes before but this one was special. It was tall and had a golden nameplate on it. + +John said "Let's join the mail box, I bet it's coming from a secret place." Sarah was so excited and said "Okay, let's go!" They opened the mail box and found a note inside. It said "Welcome to the Secret Kingdom of Imagination." They both jumped with joy! They had joined the mail box and had entered a magical place. +Once upon a time there was a little boy called Tom. Tom was strong and liked to explore his house. One day he found a mop in a corner. He asked Mum what it was. + +Mum explained, "It's a mop. We use it to clean the floor. See, when the floor is dirty, the mop can help us make it clean again." + +Tom was excited. He ran and got a bucket of warm water and some cleaning liquid. + +He grabbed the mop and started cleaning the kitchen. Mum smiled and said, "You're doing such a great job! You're getting really strong." + +Tom felt proud, and finished cleaning the kitchen. He put the mop back in the corner and went off to explore something new. +Once upon a time there was a brave lion. He loved to roar and showed off to the other animals in the wood. One day he saw a fox in the wood. The lion roared louder than ever and the fox was scared. + +The fox said, "Why do you roar so loud?" + +The lion said, "I roar because everyone should know I am brave and the king of the wood." + +The fox replied, "It's nice to be brave and the king, but remember no one can be king all the time. At noon, the sun is king and at night, the moon is king. You will never be perfect, so you don't have to roar so loud." + +The lion was proud but he listened to the fox and he roared less. He soon learnt that he was perfect just the way he was and he didn't have to try to impress anyone. + +The moral of the story is that you don't have to prove anything to be perfect! +Once upon a time, there was a seal named Sam. He was a pale grey seal, and he liked to hang out near the shore. + +One day, Sam was frolicking around the shore when he heard a loud noise. He turned around and saw a fishing boat full of people. Sam was scared and tried to swim away, but it was too late! The fishermen had spotted him and thrown out a net. + +Sam was furious! He wanted to escape, but he was caught in the net. He started to cry and pleaded for help from the fishermen. + +"Please let me go!", he pleaded. But the fishermen just laughed and shook their heads. + +"Ha ha! You're our catch for today", said one of them. Sam hung his head and was filled with despair. + +Just then, an angel came flying down from the sky. She was a magical seal, and she had heard Sam's cries for help. She used her magical powers and made the net disappear in an instant. Sam thanked the magical seal and swam away happily to find his friends. +Once upon a time there was a little boy called Harry. He was three years old and loved to go on adventures. One day, Harry and his dad set off for an adventure. They drove to the airport and got on a plane! + +Harry was so excited! He had never been on a plane before. He looked out the window to see the world below. + +The flight was weird. Harry kept feeling funny bumps, like the plane was going up and down. His dad explained that these were called 'air pockets' and that they sometimes happened when the plane passed through the air. + +When they landed at their destination, Harry was very happy! He had traveled further than he ever had before! He couldn't wait to get off the plane and explore some more! +Once there lived a small boy called Tom. He was always curious and very adventurous. One day, he decided to take a walk in the woods. + +As soon as he got there, it seemed so gloomy and scary. He saw shadows all around him and a big old tree. He felt scared and shouted out, "Mom!" + +He heard a loud scream coming from the tree. His eyes lit up as he saw a little boy, dressed in red, tied up in a rope around the tree. He asked, "Who are you?" + +The little boy answered, "I'm Peter! I got trapped here and can't get out, no matter how hard I try." Tom wanted to help him, so he looked around to find something to set him free. He saw a big, purple tie that was just big enough to pull and cut the rope. + +Tom quickly grabbed the tie and hugged Peter before cutting the rope and freeing him. Together, they ran out of the woods and never looked back. They both screamed out of joy, signalling their victory. They learned a valuable lesson that day, never to go too deep into the woods. +Once upon a time there was an enormous flea named Flip. Flip was always hopping around looking for something to do. He wanted to find an adventure, but wasn't sure where to start. + +One day, Flip went to ask his friend Fred for help. +Fred said, "Sometimes we don't always get to do the things we want. But you can try to manage it!" Flip thought about it for a second and then said, "I'm ready, let's find some adventure!" + +Fred and Flip set off on an adventure. As they were walking, they came to a big hill. Flip said he couldn't climb it, but Fred reminded Flip how he can manage things. After a few tries, Flip made it to the top! He looked up and saw an enormous flea standing at the top of the hill. It was Flip's new friend, Dave! + +Dave then explained how he managed to get up the hill, one step at a time. Flip thanked Dave and said, "I can't wait to do more adventures with you!" + +And off they went! To a new destination and new adventures. +It was near the end of the day, the sun was setting, and it was time for Lenny to go home. He was trotting down the path with a smile on his face when suddenly, he heard loud noises coming from the old mill. They were loud and scary! He stopped in his tracks and looked around in panic. He could hear some grumbling, and then a gruff voice shouted: "I smell something smelly! Who's out there?" + +Lenny froze, he didn't know what to do. Then the gruff voice shouted again: "Answer me or else!" Lenny's heart was racing and he knew he must act quickly. He remembered what his mom always told him, if ever he got into trouble, he should find an adult who could help him. + +He quickly ran towards the nearest house, but then he tripped and fell over. When he got up, the gruff voice shouted again: "There he is! Get him!" Lenny panicked and started to run faster. He heard a few more thumps behind him, but he kept running until he finally stumbled into the house. + +Inside, an old lady asked: "What's wrong child? You look scared!" Lenny told her what happened, and the old lady looked pretty worried. She quickly called the police and they and were able to find the source of the smelly noise. It turns out, it was just a family of +Once upon a time there was a kind family. The family had a mom, dad, brother and sister. They were always kind to each other. + +One day the family went to the beach to have a picnic. They made sandcastles, played in the water and had lots of fun. + +The mom said "Let's play a game so we can remember this day forever." The family got excited and decided to play hide and seek. + +The brother hid behind a tree and waited for someone to find him. He heard his sister's voice calling "Where are you? I can't find you anywhere!" + +After a few minutes he heard the young girl giggle. She had found him. He smiled and said "Let's remember this day forever!" + +The family hugged and laughed together. They all knew that as long as they were kind to each other, they would always remember the fun day at the beach. +Arnold was very excited one morning. He was going to ride his bike to the hospital! He had on his helmet and he was ready to go. + +On his ride to the hospital, Arnold had to stop for a few red lights. At each one, he got a bit more and more impatient. When he finally arrived, he noticed how quiet it was at the hospital. + +He started to walk into the hospital, but then he heard it. A loud noise was coming from 2 blocks away. It was getting louder and louder. Arnold knew he had to get out of there, so he quickly turned around and rode away as fast as he could. + +When Arnold arrived home, he was very relieved. He knew he had done the right thing. That loud noise he heard at the hospital was probably a firetruck. That's one problem he was glad he didn't have to deal with! +Once upon a time, there were two friends who shared everything. They shared their toys, their stories and even their stuff. Every day, their parents would give them sweet treats to share with each other. + +One day, one of the friends found a sour treat. He smiled and quickly ran to share it with his best friend. But instead of sharing, he decided to keep it all to himself. + +His best friend was so surprised. "Why don't you share it like you do with everything else?" he asked his friend. + +The friend shrugged and took a big bite of the sour treat. His friend felt sad and confused. + +The friend finally realized that sometimes it is better to share than keep everything for himself. He put aside the treat and smiled at his best friend. + +So the moral of the story is that sharing is caring! If you share with your friends, you will always have someone to share good and bad moments with. +Perry the puppy was a curious pup. One night, he decided to sneak out of the house and explore the garden. He grabbed an old flashlight which he found in the basement and stepped outside. Perry was organized and had a plan. He would wander around the garden, picking out any interesting path he could find. + +In the dark, Perry saw things he had never seen before. He noticed the giant tree in the corner and the little pond in the middle of the garden. He followed a path he hadn't seen before and noticed a bright light at the end of it. He pointed his flashlight in that direction and saw a group of lizards! + +Perry quietly stepped closer to them, but as soon as his light shone on them, they all ran away. One of them squeaked,"This is not a game. Stop shining your light on us!" + +Perry was sorry for scaring them away and started to wander back home.

Suddenly, the worm bit Jack and he began to cry. + +"Ow!" he shouted. His mom quickly picked him up and took him inside. She put Jack to bed and gave him some medicine. + +The next day, Jack was still feeling very sad. His lip was red and sore. From now on, he was much more careful around worms. He learned an important lesson that day, which was to never question something so mysterious. +Molly and her mama went to the park. It was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine and the trees were swaying in the wind. Molly ran around the park with glee, trying to catch butterflies and feeling the grass beneath her feet. + +Molly’s mama watched her with a smile and her heart was filled with joy. She bent down and hugged Molly, saying they should go soon.

Molly agreed and her mama picked her up, twirling her in a gentle motion. Molly giggled, feeling adorable in her mama’s arms. + +Mama carried Molly off, leaving the park behind them in the setting sun. Little did Molly know it would be their last visit and her mama would never take her back. +Jimmy was feeling very miserable. Every day he wanted to leave his crib and explore the world, but he simply couldn't. Every day he just lay in his crib and looked out the window, feeling sad. + +One day, Jimmy decided he had had enough of feeling miserable and desperate. He gathered all his strength, jumped out of his crib and ran off. + +He ran through town and quickly lost his way. He found himself in a dark alley, exhausted, scared and cold. He lay down on the floor and started to cry. + +Just then, a kind man put his hand on Jimmy's shoulder and showed him the way home. Jimmy looked up, nodded and ran to his house. + +He never made it, though. Jimmy lay down on the streets and never woke up again. He was too exhausted, scared and miserable to carry on. +Once there was a helpful boy. He wanted to visit the old mine across town. So he took all of his toys and put them in a bag. He set off and walked for a very long time, but he never made it to his destination. + +On the way, he passed a mean old man. The old man said he needed help carrying his heavy bags and asked the boy to help him. The boy was scared, but he was also very helpful so he agreed to help. + +Once the bags were all unloaded, the old man refused to let the boy go. He locked the boy in a cage and refused to let him go. + +The boy started to cry, but then he heard a noise. A dog came running in and started barking. Then the old man was gone and the boy was free! + +The dog had come to his rescue and together they ran back home. The boy was very grateful; he had a valuable new friend who would always be helpful. He promised to always visit the mine, but with a new friend by his side. +One day, the sun shone brightly in the sky. Mama, Papa and their daughter Emma were out for a drive in their motor. The motor was quite ordinary, but it suited them just fine. + +They stopped near a tall field of wheat.

That way it is easier for them to feed and care for the animals." + +"That's terrible!", Jane said. + +Sally smiled again and said, "Yes, it is.
