Mom said. + +"But I'm not sleepy," Anna said. + +"Me neither," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and said, "You don't have to sleep, but you can close your eyes and dream of the beautiful place we are going to. Maybe you will see a beach, or a mountain, or a castle. What do you think?" + +Anna and Ben thought for a moment. They liked the idea of dreaming of beautiful things.

Anna said. + +"Cool!" Ben said. + +They got out of the car and took their luggage. They followed Mom and Dad to a hotel.

She wanted to learn more and more. One day, she saw a new book at the library. It was about octopuses. She liked how they had eight arms and could change colors. She took the book home and opened it. + +But the book was hard. It had many big words that Lily did not know. It talked about things like camouflage, venom, and intelligence. Lily tried to sound out the words, but she got frustrated. She did not understand what the book was saying. She wanted to know more about octopuses, but the book was not helping. + +She put the book down and went to find her mom. She told her mom that she was frustrated with the book. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Sometimes books are too hard for us. But that's okay. You can still learn about octopuses in other ways. Do you want to watch a video with me? Or maybe we can go to the aquarium and see them in real life?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She liked those ideas. She said, "Yes, please, mom. I want to see the octopuses. They are so cool and smart. Maybe they can teach me something." Her mom laughed and said, "Maybe they can, Lily. Maybe they can." They went to the couch and turned on the TV. They found a video about octopuses and watched it together. Lily learned many new things and had fun. She was not frustrated anymore. She was happy. +Anna and Ben are friends.

He does not have a window seat. He likes to see the trees and the cars and the birds too. He says to Anna, "But I like your seat. It is new and nice. My seat is old and bad. Please, Anna, please!" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She sees that Ben is sad. She is a good friend. She says to Ben, "OK, Ben, OK. You can sit in my seat. But only for today.

He made them zoom and crash and siren. He had a lot of fun. He also shared his cars with his friends who came to visit grandma.

They thanked the lady again and asked her if she knew how to get home. + +The lady nodded and said, "Yes, I do. But it is too dark and cold to go now. You can stay here for the night. I have a spare room with two beds. You can settle there and sleep." + +Ben and Lily agreed. They were too tired to walk anymore. They followed the lady to the room and saw two beds with blankets and pillows. They climbed into the beds and snuggled under the blankets.

They do not like each other. + +They say, "Your picture is bad. My picture is good. I have the best pen. You have the worst pen." + +They grab each other's pen. They pull and tug. They want to own both pens. They are not friendly. + +The pens break. The ink spills. The paper is ruined. Lily and Ben cry. They have no pen. They have no picture. They have no friend. They are sad. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park with their mom. They like to swing, slide and run. But mom says it is time to go home. Anna and Ben do not want to go home. They want to play more. + +"Please, mom, can we stay a little longer?" Anna asks. + +"No, dear, we have to go home. It is getting dark and cold. And we have to eat dinner and take a bath," mom says. + +But Anna and Ben refuse to listen. They run away from mom and hide behind a tree. They think mom cannot see them. But mom can see them very clear. She is not happy. + +"Anna, Ben, come here right now!" mom says in a loud voice. "This is not a game. You have to do what I say. If you do not come, I will be very angry." + +Anna and Ben are scared of mom's voice. They do not want mom to be angry. They come out from behind the tree and walk to mom. They say sorry to mom. + +Mom hugs them and says, "I love you, but you have to obey me. I know you like to play, but you also need to go home. Home is where we are safe and warm and happy. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mom, we understand. We are sorry. We love you too." + +Mom smiles and says, "Good. Now let's go home. Maybe we can play more tomorrow." + +Anna and Ben hold mom's hand and go home. They are still a little sad, but they know mom is right. Home is a good place to be. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were cowboys and robbers. Tom had a hat and a stick. Lily had a scarf and a toy gun. + +"Bang, bang, you're dead!" Lily shouted, pointing her gun at Tom. Tom lay on the grass and did not move. He made his eyes close and his mouth open. He wanted to trick Lily. + +Lily ran to Tom and looked at him. She touched his face and his arm. She did not see him breathe. She felt scared. She thought Tom was really dead. + +"Tom, Tom, wake up!"

I'm sorry I scared you." + +Lily was happy and angry. She hit Tom on the arm. "Don't do that again, Tom! You made me think you were dead! That's not funny!" + +Tom said sorry again. He said he loved Lily. He said they were still friends. Lily said she loved Tom too. She said they were still friends. They got up and went to the house. They wanted to have some juice and cookies.

She likes to pick the one she wants every day. Today, she picks the cereal with the colorful rings. She thinks they are pretty and yummy. + +She pours some cereal in a wide bowl. She adds some milk. She takes a big spoon and starts to eat. She makes crunching sounds with her mouth. She smiles and says, "Mmm, this is good!" + +Her mom comes to the kitchen. She sees Anna eating her cereal. She says, "Good morning, Anna. You picked a nice cereal today. Do you want some fruit too?" + +Anna nods. She likes fruit. She says, "Yes, please, mom.

They are ready to start the day. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But soon they felt tired and yawned. + +"Let's nap," Anna said. "Nap is good for us." + +"OK," Ben agreed. "But where do we nap?" + +Anna looked around and saw a big couch. It had soft pillows and a warm blanket. She pointed to it and said, "There. We can nap on the couch. It is cozy and big." + +Ben nodded and followed Anna. They climbed on the couch and snuggled under the blanket. They each picked a pillow and put it under their head. They lay on their side and faced each other. + +"Good night, Ben," Anna said. + +"Good night, Anna," Ben said. + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They had a nice nap and dreamed of harmless things. They did not hear their mom come home and smile at them. She kissed them gently and let them sleep. She was happy to see them nap on the couch. +Anna loves her new piano. It is big and shiny and makes pretty sounds. She likes to play songs with her fingers and sing along. Sometimes her mom or dad help her learn new songs. + +One day, Anna has a friend over to play. His name is Ben. He likes to play with cars and blocks and puzzles. He sees Anna's new piano and wants to try it. He asks Anna if he can play. + +"Can I play your piano, Anna?" he says. + +"Sure, Ben. You can play. But be gentle. It is new and special," Anna says. + +Ben nods and sits on the stool. He puts his hands on the keys and starts to press them. He makes loud and funny noises. He laughs and presses more keys. Anna does not like it. She thinks Ben is not gentle. She thinks he is making a mess. + +"Stop, Ben! Stop! You are playing wrong. You are hurting my piano," Anna says. + +She runs to the piano and tries to push Ben away. Ben does not want to stop. He thinks it is fun. He pushes Anna back. They start to fight. They yell and cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Anna and Ben fighting over the piano. She is not happy. She separates them and makes them sit on the couch. + +"What is going on here? Why are you fighting?" Mom says. + +"Ben was playing bad. He was making ugly sounds. He was breaking my new piano," Anna says. + +"No, I was not. I was playing good. I was making funny sounds. I was having fun," Ben says. + +Mom shakes her head. She does not like their answers. She thinks they are both wrong. + +"Anna, your piano is new and special, but it is also for sharing. You can let your friend play, but you have to teach him how to play nicely. You can show him the songs you know and help him learn," Mom says. + +"Ben, your friend's piano is new and special, but it is also for respecting. You can play, but you have to be gentle. You can listen to the sounds it makes and try to copy them. You can ask her for help if you don't know," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry. They say sorry. + +"Sorry, Anna. I did not mean to hurt your piano. I did not know how to play," Ben says. + +"Sorry, Ben. I did not mean to push you. I did not know how to share," Anna says. + +Mom smiles. She is glad they are sorry. She thinks they can be friends again. + +"Good. Now, why don't you try to play together? You can zip up your jackets and go outside for a while. Then you can come back and play the piano again. But this time, play nicely and have fun," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They zip up their jackets and go outside. They play with cars and blocks and puzzles. They have fun. Then they come back and play the piano again. They play nicely and have fun. They learn new songs and sing along. They are happy. Mom is happy. The piano is happy. +Lily and Max were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box that they pretended was their ship. They also had a map that showed them where to find treasure. They put on hats and eye patches and said "Arrr!" a lot. + +They followed the map to a big tree. Under the tree, they saw a shiny box. "Look, Max, we found the treasure!" Lily said. She opened the box and saw many pretty things inside. There were necklaces, rings, bracelets, and coins. Lily's eyes sparkled. She wanted to keep them all. + +Max reached for a necklace, but Lily pinched his hand. "Ow! That hurt, Lily!" Max said. "Why did you pinch me?" Lily said, "This is my treasure. I found it first. You can't have any." She hugged the box to her chest. + +Max felt sad and angry. He said, "That's not fair, Lily. We are pirates together. We should share the treasure. That's what good pirates do. Don't you want to be a good pirate?" Lily shook her head. She said, "No, I want to be a rich pirate. Go away, Max. This is mine." + +Max was about to cry, when he heard a voice. It was their mom. She said, "What are you two doing? It's time for lunch. Come inside, please." She saw the box and said, "Oh, what a nice box. Where did you get it?" Lily said, "It's my treasure, mom. I found it under the tree. It's mine." Mom said, "Really? Are you sure? I think this is the box that grandma gave me for my birthday. She said it was full of old jewelry that she wanted me to have. She was very generous to give me such a lovely gift." + +Lily felt ashamed. She realized that she had been greedy and mean to Max. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I thought it was treasure. I'm sorry, Max. I was a bad pirate. I shouldn't have pinched you. Can we share the treasure, please?" Max smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. I forgive you. You are a good pirate after all. Let's share the treasure and play together." Mom said, "That's very kind of you, Max. And I'm proud of you, Lily, for saying sorry. How about we take the box inside and look at the jewelry together? Maybe we can find something that you both like." Lily and Max nodded and said, "Yes, mom. Thank you, mom." They took the box and followed mom to the house. They were happy pirates. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. One day, Lily sees a big green vegetable in the garden. She does not know what it is. + +"Look, Ben!" Lily says. "What is this?" + +Ben comes to see. He knows what it is. It is a cucumber. His mom grows cucumbers in the garden. + +"It is a cucumber, Lily," Ben says. "It is good to eat. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nods. She likes to try new things. Ben picks the cucumber and washes it with water. He breaks it in half and gives one part to Lily. + +They bite the cucumber. It is crunchy and juicy. They like it. + +"Yum, yum!" Lily says. "This is a good vegetable. Thank you for showing me, Ben." + +"You are welcome, Lily," Ben says. "Do you want to see more vegetables?" + +Lily says yes. They go to see more vegetables in the garden. They see tomatoes, carrots, beans, and lettuce. They are quiet and careful. They do not want to hurt the plants. They learn the names of the vegetables and how they grow. They have fun in the garden. +Anna and Ben are young twins who like to play in the garden. They have a big tree with a swing and a slide. One day, they see a ladder leaning on the wall. They want to climb it and see what is on the roof. + +"Let's go up the ladder!" Ben says. He runs to the ladder and grabs it. He tries to pull it to the tree, but it is too heavy. He falls down and hurts his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cries. Anna runs to him and hugs him. She sees blood on his knee and gets scared. + +"Ben, are you okay?" she asks. She looks for their mom, but she is inside the house. + +"I want mom!" Ben says. He starts to cry louder. + +Anna thinks fast. She sees a big stick on the ground. She picks it up and runs to the ladder. She pushes the stick under the ladder and lifts it up. She drags the ladder to the tree. + +"Look, Ben, I did it!" she says. She smiles and helps Ben stand up. + +"Wow, Anna, you are strong!" Ben says. He stops crying and smiles too. + +They climb the ladder together and reach the roof. They see birds and flowers and clouds. They feel happy and proud. + +"Anna, Ben, where are you?" they hear their mom call from the house. + +"Here, mom, we are on the roof!" they shout. + +Their mom comes out and sees them. She gasps and runs to the ladder. + +"Anna, Ben, what are you doing? That is very dangerous!" she says. She climbs the ladder and brings them down. + +She hugs them and kisses them. She is glad they are not hurt. She tells them not to play with the ladder again. + +"Sorry, mom, we just wanted to see the roof," Anna says. + +"It was fun, mom, but we won't do it again," Ben says. + +Their mom smiles and takes them inside. She gives them cookies and milk. She tells them they are brave and smart, but they have to be careful. + +Anna and Ben nod and eat their cookies. They love their mom and their garden.

"Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, yes!" they said. + +They played with Max and his friends. They swung on the swings, slid on the slide, and jumped on the bounce house. They had a lot of fun. + +Then it was time for cake. Mom and dad called them to the table. They sat next to Max and sang a song. Max blew out the candles and made a wish. Then mom cut the cake and gave everyone a piece. + +Lily and Ben ordered chocolate cake. It was yummy. They ate it with a fork and a napkin. They also drank some juice. + +"Did you like the cake?" mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, it was very good!" they said. + +"I'm glad you enjoyed it," mom said. "You were very good today." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy. They loved their cousin Max and his birthday party. It was a big and lively event. They thanked mom and dad for taking them. They hugged Max and said goodbye. They got in the car and drove home. They were tired but happy. They had a good day. +Tom and Lily were having lunch with Mom and Dad. They had beef and rice and carrots on their plates. Tom liked beef, but Lily did not. She wanted something else. + +"Mom, can I have chicken instead of beef?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, we don't have any chicken today. You have to eat what's on your plate," Mom said. + +"But I don't like beef. It's too chewy and brown. Chicken is soft and white," Lily said. + +"Beef is good for you. It has protein and iron. You need them to grow strong and healthy," Mom said. + +Tom saw that Lily was unhappy. He wanted to help her. He had an idea. + +"Lily, do you want to trade with me? You can have my carrots and I can have your beef. I love beef and I don't mind carrots," Tom said. + +Lily looked at Tom. She smiled. She liked carrots. They were crunchy and orange. She thought Tom was very nice. + +"Okay, Tom, let's trade. Thank you for being a good brother," Lily said. + +They replaced their food and ate happily. Mom and Dad were proud of them. They gave them each a sweet treat for dessert. They had ice cream and cookies. They were delicious. Tom and Lily hugged each other and said they were the best siblings ever. +Lily was very brave. She wanted to go to the dentist and get a new tooth. She was not afraid of the big chair or the loud tools. She smiled at the nice lady who gave her a sticker and a cup of water. + +But when she saw the mirror, she felt a little scared. The mirror was shiny and showed her face very big. She saw her old tooth that was broken and black. She did not like it. She wanted to hide. + +The dentist saw her face and said, "Don't worry, Lily. The mirror is your friend. It helps me see your teeth better. You have a beautiful smile. I will fix your tooth and make it shiny and white. You just need to relax and open your mouth." + +Lily looked at the dentist. He was smiling and gentle. He had a funny hat and glasses. He held a small mirror and a soft brush. He said, "I will count to three and then we will start. Are you ready?" + +Lily nodded. She took a deep breath and relaxed. She opened her mouth and said, "One, two, three." She watched the mirror and saw the dentist work on her tooth. She felt a tickle and a puff of air. She did not feel any pain. + +Soon, the dentist said, "All done, Lily. You did a great job. You were very brave. Look at your new tooth. It is shiny and white. Do you like it?" + +Lily looked at the mirror and saw her new tooth. It was shiny and white. She liked it. She smiled and said, "Thank you, dentist. You are my friend. I like the mirror. It shows me my beautiful smile." She gave the dentist a hug and a high-five. She was very happy. +Sara was a princess who liked to play dress-up. She had a big box of clothes and jewels and crowns.

Tom swung his sword and Sara waved her veil. They made loud noises and laughed. + +But then, Sara heard her mom call her name. It was time to go home. + +"Bye, Tom," Sara said. "Thank you for playing with me." + +"Bye, Sara," Tom said. "You're welcome. See you tomorrow." + +Sara ran back to her house, but she did not see that her veil fell off her head. She forgot to take it with her. + +Tom saw the veil on the ground. He picked it up and smiled. He thought it was pretty. He decided to keep it for a while. He put it on his head and felt like a fairy. He ran to his house, but he did not see that his sword fell off his hand. He forgot to take it with him. +Anna likes to play with wool.

Lily and Ben were excited. They opened the box and saw a beautiful doll and a shiny car. They both wanted the doll and the car. + +"Mine!" Lily shouted, grabbing the doll. + +"Mine!" Ben shouted, grabbing the car. + +They pulled and tugged and yelled. Their uncle was sad. He did not like to see them fight. + +"Stop!" he said. "Why don't you share? Sharing is nice. Sharing makes you happy. Sharing makes others happy. If you share, you can both play with the doll and the car. And I can play with you too." + +Lily and Ben looked at their uncle. They looked at the doll and the car. They looked at each other. They felt miserable. They did not want to make their uncle sad.

They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide. She has an urge to slide down fast. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go on the slide!" Anna says. + +Ben is scared. He thinks the slide is too high. He does not have an urge to slide. He has an urge to run away. + +"No, Anna, I don't want to go on the slide. It is too high and scary. Let's play with the swings instead." Ben says. + +Anna is sad. She does not want to play with the swings. She wants to play with the slide. She has an idea. She sees a thick blanket on a bench. She runs to the bench and brings the blanket. + +"Look, Ben, I have a blanket. We can use it to slide. It will be fun and not scary. You can hold one end and I can hold the other end. We can slide down together." Anna says. + +Ben is curious. He thinks the blanket might make the slide less scary. He wants to try. He brings his teddy bear with him. He holds one end of the blanket and Anna holds the other end. They go to the top of the slide. They put the blanket on the slide. They sit on the blanket. They slide down together. + +"Whee, this is fun!" Anna says. + +"Yes, this is fun!" Ben says. + +They laugh and smile. They slide down again and again. They are happy. They are friends. +Lila and Sam were very thirsty. They had been walking in the hot sun for a long time. They wanted to find some water and shade. + +"Look, Lila, I see something green over there!" Sam said, pointing to a spot in the distance. "Maybe it is an oasis. An oasis is a place with water and plants in the desert." + +"Let's go, Sam, maybe we can drink and rest there," Lila said, holding his hand. They ran towards the green spot, hoping it was an oasis. + +But when they got closer, they saw that it was not an oasis. It was a big fence with a sign that said "Keep Out". Behind the fence, they could see a pool of water and some palm trees. But they could not get in. + +"Who put this fence here?" Lila asked, feeling sad and angry. "Why do they prevent us from going to the oasis?" + +"I don't know, Lila, maybe they are mean and selfish," Sam said, feeling the same. "But we can't give up. We have to be creative and find a way to get in." + +They looked around and saw a big rock near the fence. They had an idea. They pushed the rock together until it was close to the fence. Then they climbed on top of the rock and jumped over the fence. + +They landed on the other side of the fence, near the pool of water. They were so happy. They drank some water and splashed each other. They lay down under a palm tree and felt the cool breeze. + +They had found the oasis. They had been creative and prevented the fence from stopping them. They smiled at each other and closed their eyes. They were not thirsty anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were kids who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they did not like to tidy them up. They left them on the floor, on the bed, on the table, everywhere. Their mom was not happy. She told them to tidy their toys or she would make them disappear. + +Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept playing and making a mess. They thought their mom was joking. They did not think she could make their toys disappear. They were wrong. + +One day, when they came back from the park, they saw their room was empty. All their toys were gone. They looked under the bed, in the closet, in the drawers, but they could not find them. They were scared and sad. They ran to their mom and asked her what happened. + +"I told you to tidy your toys or I would make them disappear. And I did. I put them in a big box and gave them to the kids who have no toys. Maybe they will appreciate them more than you did." + +Lily and Ben started to cry. They realized they had been very naughty and selfish. They wished they had listened to their mom and tidied their toys. They said they were sorry and asked her if they could get their toys back. + +"I'm sorry, but you can't. They are gone. But you can learn from your mistake and be more tidy and respectful from now on. And maybe, if you do, I will buy you some new toys for your birthday. But only if you promise to take good care of them and put them away when you are done playing." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They hugged their mom and said they loved her. They learned their lesson and never left their toys on the floor again. They became more tidy and happy kids. +Anna loves to sing. She sings when she wakes up, when she plays, and when she eats. She sings songs about the sun, the moon, the stars, and her toys. She sings so loud that everyone can hear her. + +One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big purple slide. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. She sings a song about the slide and how fun it is. She slides down and laughs. + +"Wow, you are a good singer, Anna!" a voice says. Anna looks and sees a boy with a red hat. He is holding a bowl of rice. "Do you want some rice? I have extra." + +Anna smiles and nods. She likes rice. She goes to the boy and sits next to him. He gives her some rice with a spoon. She says thank you and eats the rice. It is yummy. + +"What is your name?" Anna asks. + +"I am Ben," the boy says. "I like your song. Can you teach me?" + +"Sure!" Anna says. "It is easy. You just sing what you see and feel. Like this: I see a purple slide, it is so fun and high. I slide down and laugh, I make a new friend. His name is Ben, he shares his rice with me. We are happy and free." + +Ben listens and tries to sing along. He likes the song too. He and Anna sing together and eat rice. They have a good time at the park. They become friends. +Tom and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, blocks and books. But after a while, they started to feel tired and bored. + +"Let's do something else," Mia said. "I want to go outside and see the flowers." + +Tom yawned and rubbed his eyes. "I don't want to go outside. It's too cold and windy. I want to stay here and watch TV." + +Mia frowned and shook her head. "TV is boring. Come on, Tom, let's go outside. It will be fun. We can wear our caps and coats and gloves." + +She grabbed her pink cap from the coat rack and put it on her head. Then she looked for Tom's blue cap, but she couldn't find it. She saw a pile of clothes on the sofa and thought maybe it was there. She climbed on the sofa and started to dig through the clothes. + +But she didn't know that under the clothes, there was a fragile vase that Mom had put there for safekeeping. As she moved the clothes, she accidentally knocked over the vase and it fell to the floor with a loud crash. It broke into many pieces and made a big mess. + +Mia gasped and covered her mouth. She felt scared and sorry. She knew Mom would be angry and sad. She looked at Tom, who was staring at her with wide eyes. + +"Uh-oh," Tom said. "You broke Mom's vase. That was very bad. What are we going to do?" + +Mia started to cry. She didn't know what to do. She wished she had listened to Tom and stayed in the living room. She wished she had never touched the vase. She wished she could fix it. + +She hugged Tom and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to break it. Please don't be mad at me. Please help me." + +Tom felt sorry for Mia. He knew she didn't do it on purpose. He hugged her back and said, "It's okay, Mia. I'm not mad at you. We'll try to clean it up. Maybe Mom won't notice. Maybe we can glue it back together." + +They got off the sofa and picked up the pieces of the vase. They put them in a box and hid it under the bed. Then they wiped the floor with a towel. They hoped Mom wouldn't find out. + +They were very tired and scared. They decided to go to bed and forget about the vase. They put on their pajamas and crawled into their beds. They said good night to each other and closed their eyes. + +They hoped Mom would still love them. They hoped the vase would magically mend itself. They hoped tomorrow would be a better day. +Anna and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to splash in the pool and run around the grass. It was a hot day and they were very thirsty. + +"Can we get some water, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, honey. Go inside and use the faucet in the kitchen," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben ran inside and went to the kitchen. They saw the faucet on the sink. It had two handles, one for cold water and one for hot water. + +"Which one do we use?" Ben asked. + +"The cold one, silly. The hot one is too hot for us," Anna said. + +She turned the cold handle and waited for the water to come out. But nothing happened. She turned it more and more, but still no water. + +"Maybe the faucet is broken," Ben said. + +He tried the hot handle. He turned it a little bit and water came out. It was very hot and steamy. He quickly turned it off. + +"Ouch! That was too hot!" he said. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They were confused. Why did the cold handle not work and the hot handle work? It did not seem right. + +They heard Mom coming to the kitchen. They hoped she could fix the faucet. + +"Mom, the faucet is weird. The cold water does not come out and the hot water is too hot," Anna said. + +Mom looked at the faucet and smiled. She knew what was wrong. + +"Oops, I forgot to tell you. The plumber came today and switched the handles. Now the cold water is on the hot side and the hot water is on the cold side. He said he will come back tomorrow and fix it," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben laughed. They thought it was funny that the handles were switched. They tried the faucet again and got some cold water from the hot side. They drank it and felt better. + +"Thank you, Mom. Can we go back to the pool now?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. And don't forget to put on sunscreen. It's a hot day," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben nodded and ran back to the backyard. They had fun playing in the pool and forgot about the weird faucet. +Lily was sleeping in her bed with her pink cushion. She liked her cushion very much. It was soft and warm and smelled like her mom. She hugged her cushion and dreamed of fairies and flowers. + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was a big bang outside her window. She opened her eyes and saw a bright light. She was scared. She wanted her mom and dad. She jumped out of her bed and ran to the door. + +She saw her mom and dad in the hall. They looked different. They had funny hats and coats on. They were holding a big cake with candles. They smiled at her and said, "Surprise! Happy birthday, Lily!" + +Lily was confused. She forgot it was her birthday. She looked at the cake and saw it had her name and three stars on it. She felt happy. She ran to her mom and dad and hugged them. They hugged her back and said, "We love you, Lily. You are our special girl." + +They took her to the living room, where there were more surprises. There were balloons and streamers and presents and friends. Lily was very excited. She thanked her mom and dad for the best wake-up ever. She said, "This is a different day. This is a happy day. I love you, mom and dad. And I love my cushion, too." +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big cobweb on the fence. It was shiny and sticky. They wanted to touch it, but their mom said no. + +"Spiders live in cobwebs. They can bite you and make you sick. Stay away from them," mom said. + +Anna and Ben nodded, but they were still curious. They looked for something to spray the cobweb with. They found a bottle of water in the shed. They took turns to spray the water at the cobweb. They giggled as they saw the water droplets make the cobweb wet and heavy. + +But they did not see the spider hiding behind the fence. The spider was angry. It did not like the water on its home. It crawled out and looked for the source of the spray. It saw Anna and Ben holding the bottle. It decided to teach them a lesson. + +The spider jumped on the bottle and bit the nozzle. It made a hole in the bottle. The water stopped spraying. Anna and Ben were surprised. They looked at the bottle and saw the spider. They screamed and dropped the bottle. + +The spider ran away, but not before it sprayed something else on the bottle. It was a spicy liquid that the spider used to defend itself. It smelled bad and burned the skin. + +Anna and Ben felt the spicy liquid on their hands. It hurt a lot. They cried and ran to their mom. Mom saw their red and swollen hands. She washed them with soap and water. She put some cream on them. She hugged them and said, "I told you to stay away from the cobwebs. They are not toys. They are homes for spiders. Spiders can be dangerous. You have to be careful." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never sprayed cobwebs again. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the snow. One day, they decided to build an igloo with their dad. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They made a hole for the door and a window to see outside. They were very proud of their igloo. It was large and cozy. + +"Let's go inside and have some hot chocolate," their dad said. He carried a thermos and some cups. Tom and Lily followed him into the igloo. They sat on a blanket and sipped their drinks. They felt warm and happy. + +Suddenly, they heard a noise outside. It sounded like a bark. They looked out the window and saw a furry animal. It had four legs, a long tail, and pointy ears. It was a dog, but not like the dogs they knew. It was white and gray, and had a thick coat. + +"Wow, what is that?" Tom asked. + +"It's a husky," their dad said. "They are dogs that live in cold places. They can pull sleds and help people travel." + +The husky came closer to the igloo. It sniffed the air and wagged its tail. It seemed friendly and curious. + +"Can we meet it?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful and gentle," their dad said. "It might not be used to people." + +He opened the door and called the husky. The dog came over and licked his hand. He petted it and said some nice words. Tom and Lily came out of the igloo and smiled at the dog. They reached out their hands and let the dog sniff them. The dog licked their faces and nuzzled their cheeks. They giggled and hugged the dog. + +"Hello, husky," they said. "We are Tom and Lily. Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog barked and nodded. It ran around the igloo and invited them to chase it. Tom and Lily ran after it and laughed. They had fun playing with their new friend. They forgot about the cold and the snow. They only felt joy and love. +Lily liked grapes very much. She liked to eat them one by one, or make a necklace with them, or pretend they were tiny balls. But her mom said she could not have too many grapes, or she would get a tummy ache. + +One day, Lily saw a big bowl of grapes on the table. She wanted to eat them all. She looked around and did not see her mom. She thought, maybe I can have some grapes when mom is not here. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bowl. + +"Stop, Lily!" her mom said, coming into the room. "You cannot have so many grapes. You will get sick." + +"But mom, I love grapes!" Lily said. "Please, please, permit me to have some more." + +"Okay, you can have two more grapes," her mom said. "But then you have to stop. And you have to brush your teeth after." + +Lily smiled and took two more grapes. She put them in her mouth and chewed. They were sweet and juicy. She swallowed them and felt happy. But then she felt something else. She felt dizzy. She felt like the room was spinning. She felt like she was going to fall. + +"Mom, I don't feel good," she said, holding her head. + +"Oh, Lily, I told you not to have too many grapes," her mom said, picking her up. "You ate too much sugar. Come on, let's go to the couch and rest. Maybe you will feel better soon." + +Lily nodded and cuddled with her mom. She closed her eyes and hoped the dizziness would go away. She learned a lesson that day. She learned that too many grapes can make you sick. She learned that she should listen to her mom. She learned that she still liked grapes, but not too much. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars and trucks. They have a big hill in their backyard. They want to see who can make their car go up the hill the fastest. + +They put their cars at the bottom of the hill. They say "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars hard. The cars roll up the hill. Tom's car is red and Sam's car is blue. Tom's car is faster than Sam's car. It reaches the top of the hill first. Tom is happy. He shouts "I win! I win!" + +Sam is sad. He wants to win too. He thinks of a plan. He says "Let's do it again. But this time, we switch cars. Maybe your car is just better than mine." Tom agrees. He thinks he can win with any car. He gives his red car to Sam and takes his blue car. + +They put their cars at the bottom of the hill again. They say "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars hard. The cars roll up the hill. But this time, Sam's car is faster than Tom's car. It reaches the top of the hill first. Sam is happy. He shouts "I win! I win!" + +Tom is surprised. He wonders why his car is slower now. He looks at his car. He sees that Sam has put a sticker on it. The sticker says "Slow". Sam has tricked him. He has made his car look slow. Tom is angry. He says "That's not fair! You cheated!" + +Sam laughs. He says "It's just a joke. Don't be mad. It's only a game." He gives Tom his red car back. He says "Here, you can have your car. You are still good at racing. But I am good at being wild and funny. Let's be friends and play together." + +Tom smiles. He says "OK, you are wild and funny. But you are also smart and clever. Let's be friends and play together." They hug and laugh. They have fun with their cars. They don't care who wins or loses. They are happy. They have a victory of friendship. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a laser gun that makes a bright red light and a loud noise. Mia has a doll that can talk and sing. Tom likes to pretend he is a space hero and shoot his laser at the bad guys. Mia likes to pretend she is a princess and dress up her doll in pretty clothes. + +"Zap! Zap! Zap!" Tom says, as he points his laser at the sofa. "I got you, evil alien! You can't hide from me!" + +"Stop it, Tom!" Mia says, as she covers her doll with a blanket. "You are scaring my doll! She doesn't like loud noises!" + +"Sorry, Mia," Tom says, as he lowers his laser. "But I have to save the world from the aliens. They want to take our toys and our candy!" + +Mia thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She takes out a lemon from her toy kitchen and cuts it in half. She gives one half to Tom and keeps the other half for herself. + +"Here, Tom," Mia says, as she smiles. "This is a magic lemon. If you eat it, you will get super powers. You can shoot lasers from your eyes and fly in the sky!" + +"Really?" Tom says, as he looks at the lemon. He likes super powers. He wants to fly in the sky. He takes a big bite of the lemon. + +"Yuck!" Tom says, as he spits out the lemon. "This is sour! This is not magic! This is yucky!" + +Mia laughs. She eats her lemon and makes a funny face. She likes sour things. She thinks they are tasty. + +"Ha ha, Tom!" Mia says, as she teases him. "You fell for my trick! This is not a magic lemon. This is a sour lemon. I gave it to you to make you stop shooting your laser!" + +Tom feels silly. He also feels a little mad. He picks up his laser and points it at Mia. + +"Oh yeah?" Tom says, as he grins. "Well, I have another trick for you. This is not a laser gun. This is a tickle gun. And I'm going to tickle you until you say sorry!" + +Tom runs towards Mia and presses the button on his laser. It makes a bright red light and a loud noise. But it also makes a soft feather pop out of the tip. Tom tickles Mia with the feather under her chin and on her sides. Mia giggles and squirms. She tries to get away, but Tom is faster. + +"Stop it, Tom! Stop it!" Mia says, as she laughs. "That tickles! That tickles!" + +"Say sorry, Mia! Say sorry!" Tom says, as he tickles her more. + +"OK, OK, I'm sorry, Tom! I'm sorry!" Mia says, as she gasps for air. "I won't give you sour lemons anymore!" + +Tom stops tickling Mia and hugs her. Mia hugs him back. They smile at each other. + +"I'm sorry, too, Mia," Tom says, as he kisses her cheek. "I won't scare your doll anymore." + +They put away their toys and sit on the sofa. They share the rest of the lemon and make funny faces. They are happy. They are friends. They are brother and sister. +Anna loves to skip. She skips to school, she skips in the park, she skips at home. She thinks skipping is fun and makes her happy. She likes to skip with her friends, too. + +One day, Anna sees a new girl in her class. Her name is Mia. Mia has long hair and a big smile. She also likes to skip. Anna wants to be friends with Mia, but she feels jealous. She thinks Mia can skip better than her. She thinks Mia will take her friends away. + +At lunch time, Anna sees Mia sitting with her friends. They are eating yogurt and talking. Anna loves yogurt, too. She has a pink yogurt in her bag. She wants to join them, but she is afraid. She thinks they will not like her. + +She sits alone and eats her yogurt. She feels sad and angry. She does not want to skip anymore. + +"Hi, Anna. Can I sit with you?" Mia comes to her table. She has a blue yogurt in her hand. + +Anna looks at Mia. She does not know what to say. She feels more jealous. She thinks Mia has a better yogurt than her. + +"Sure, you can sit with me." Anna says, but she does not sound happy. + +Mia sits next to Anna. She smiles at her. + +"I like your yogurt. It is pink. Pink is my favorite color. Can I try some?" Mia asks. + +Anna looks at her yogurt. She likes it, too. She does not want to share it. But she remembers what her mom told her. Sharing is good. Sharing is kind. + +"Okay, you can try some. But only a little bit." Anna says. + +She gives Mia a spoonful of her yogurt. Mia tastes it. She makes a happy sound. + +"Mmm, this is yummy. Thank you, Anna. Do you want to try mine? It is blue. Blue is your favorite color, right?" Mia says. + +Anna looks at Mia's yogurt. She is curious. She has never tried a blue yogurt before. She wonders how it tastes. + +"Okay, I will try some. But only a little bit." Anna says. + +She takes a spoonful of Mia's yogurt. She tastes it. She makes a happy sound, too. + +"Mmm, this is yummy, too. Thank you, Mia. You are right. Blue is my favorite color." Anna says. + +Mia and Anna smile at each other. They finish their yogurts. They feel happy and full. + +"Do you want to skip with me after lunch? I like to skip. You like to skip, too, right?" Mia asks. + +Anna nods. She feels a warm feeling in her chest. She does not feel jealous anymore. She feels friendly. + +"Yes, I want to skip with you. I like to skip, too. You are good at skipping. Maybe you can teach me some tricks." Anna says. + +Mia and Anna hold hands. They walk to the playground. They skip together. They laugh and have fun. They become friends. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside and look at the sky. Sometimes they saw birds and clouds. Sometimes they saw the sun and the moon. And sometimes they saw stars. + +One night, Anna and Ben went to the park with their moms. They brought a blanket and a flashlight. They lay down on the blanket and turned on the flashlight. They pointed it at the sky and pretended it was a star. + +"Look, I made a star!" Anna said. + +"Me too!" Ben said. + +They moved the flashlight around and made different shapes with the light. They had fun. + +But then, something bad happened. Ben's flashlight fell out of his hand and hit a rock. It made a loud noise and stopped working. Ben picked it up and tried to turn it on, but nothing happened. + +"Oh no, my star is broken!" Ben cried. + +Anna felt sorry for Ben. She knew he liked his flashlight. She wanted to help him. + +"Don't be sad, Ben," Anna said. "It's just an ordinary flashlight. You can get a new one. But you know what? You don't need a flashlight to make a star. You are a star!" + +Anna hugged Ben and smiled. She pointed at the sky and showed him a real star. + +"See, there's a star for you. And there's a star for me. And there are many more stars for everyone. They are bright and beautiful and they never break. They are always there for us, even when we can't see them. They are our friends." + +Ben looked at the sky and saw the star. He felt better. He hugged Anna back and thanked her. + +"You are right, Anna. You are a star too. And you are my best friend. Thank you for making me happy." + +Anna and Ben lay down on the blanket again and watched the stars. They felt happy and safe. They knew they had each other and the stars. They closed their eyes and dreamed of starry adventures. +Lila and Tom were young. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big black dog. The dog was running and barking. Lila and Tom were scared. + +"Roar!" said Tom. He wanted to scare the dog away. He made his hands like claws and his face like a lion. + +"Roar!" said Lila. She wanted to help Tom. She made her hands like claws and her face like a lion too. + +The dog stopped. He looked at Lila and Tom. He wagged his tail. He was not angry. He was friendly. + +"Hi!" said the dog. He came closer to Lila and Tom. He licked their faces. He wanted to play. + +Lila and Tom laughed. They were not scared anymore. They petted the dog and threw a stick for him. They made a new friend. They called him Roar. +Lily was a small girl who liked to play with her dolls and her blocks. She did not like to use the toilet. She said it was too big and too loud and too scary. She liked to wear diapers instead. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, you are a big girl now. You need to quit wearing diapers and use the toilet like a big girl. It is not scary, it is easy and clean. I will help you and show you how." + +Lily did not want to quit wearing diapers. She said, "No, mom, I don't want to use the toilet. I want to wear diapers. They are soft and warm and cozy. I don't like the toilet. It is cold and hard and noisy." + +Her mom said, "Lily, please try to use the toilet. I will give you a sticker and a hug if you do. You can choose your favorite sticker and put it on your chart. You can also bring your doll or your block with you to the toilet. It will be fun and you will be proud of yourself." + +Lily thought about it. She liked stickers and hugs. She also liked her doll and her block. She decided to try to use the toilet. She said, "Okay, mom, I will try to use the toilet. But you have to stay with me and hold my hand." + +Her mom said, "Of course, Lily, I will stay with you and hold your hand. You are a brave and smart girl. I love you very much." + +Lily and her mom went to the toilet. Lily brought her doll and her block with her. Her mom helped her to sit on the toilet and to flush it. It was not so big and loud and scary as Lily thought. It was easy and clean. Lily felt happy and proud. She got a sticker and a hug from her mom. She put the sticker on her chart and smiled. She said, "Mom, I did it! I used the toilet like a big girl. I don't need diapers anymore. I can quit wearing them." + +Her mom said, "Lily, I am so proud of you. You did a great job. You used the toilet like a big girl. You can quit wearing diapers. You are a wonderful girl. I love you very much." + +Lily and her mom hugged and kissed. They went back to play with the dolls and the blocks. Lily felt good. She liked to use the toilet. She liked to be a big girl. She liked to quit wearing diapers. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. But their favorite thing was to climb the big hill. The hill was very high and had a lot of rocks and dirt. They felt like explorers when they climbed the hill. + +One day, they brought some equipment to the park. They had a rope, a bucket, and a hat. They wanted to use the equipment to make the hill more fun. They tied the rope to a tree and used it to pull themselves up. They filled the bucket with rocks and dirt and made a fort on top of the hill. They put on the hat and pretended to be the king and queen of the hill. + +"Look at us!" Tom said. "We are so high! We can see everything!" + +"Yes, we are!" Lily said. "We are the best climbers in the park!" + +They looked down and saw some other kids watching them. The other kids wanted to climb the hill too. They asked Tom and Lily if they could join them. + +"Can we play with you?" one of the kids said. "Your equipment looks cool. And your hill looks fun." + +Tom and Lily smiled. They liked to make new friends. They said yes and invited the other kids to climb the hill with them. They shared their equipment and their fort. They had a lot of fun together. + +Tom and Lily were happy. They had made the hill more fun with their equipment. And they had made the hill more popular with their friends. They decided to climb the hill every day. They liked to rise to the top. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to touch different things and feel their texture. They felt the soft grass, the rough bark, the smooth stones and the prickly pine cones. + +"Look, Lily, I found a feather!" Tom said, holding a white and black feather in his hand. "It is so soft and fluffy. I wonder what bird it belongs to." + +"Maybe it belongs to a wild bird," Lily said, looking around. "Maybe a crow or a magpie. They have feathers like that." + +They heard a loud caw from a nearby tree. They looked up and saw a big black bird with shiny eyes. It was a crow. It saw the feather in Tom's hand and flew down to get it. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Tom shouted, trying to keep the feather away from the crow. But the crow was faster and stronger. It snatched the feather from Tom's hand and flew back to the tree. + +"Sorry, Tom," Lily said, hugging him. "The crow wanted its feather back. It belongs to the crow, not to us." + +Tom felt sad. He liked the feather. He wanted to keep it. But he knew Lily was right. The feather was not his. It was the crow's. + +"Maybe we can find something else to play with," Lily said, trying to cheer him up. "Something that does not belong to a wild bird." + +They looked around and saw a pile of colorful leaves. They ran to the leaves and started to throw them in the air. They felt their texture. They were dry and crunchy. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the feather. They did not need it. They had each other. +Sara and Tom like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big teddy bear. They hug the teddy bear and pretend it is their friend. + +One day, Sara and Tom want to play with the teddy bear, but they cannot find it. They look under the bed, in the closet, and behind the sofa, but the teddy bear is not there. They are sad and confused. + +"Where is our teddy bear?" Sara asks Tom. + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe Mommy put it away." + +They go to Mommy and ask her. Mommy smiles and says, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me." + +Mommy takes them to the store. The store has many things, like clothes, books, and candy. Sara and Tom like the store, but they still miss their teddy bear. + +Mommy leads them to a special section of the store. There, they see many stuffed animals, like lions, monkeys, and rabbits. But they also see something familiar. It is their teddy bear! + +"Look, Sara and Tom, it's your teddy bear!" Mommy says. "But he is not the same. He has a new button on his nose, and a new ribbon on his neck. Do you like it?" + +Sara and Tom run to their teddy bear and hug it. They see the button and the ribbon, and they think they are pretty. They also notice something else. The teddy bear has a small hole on his back, where Mommy sewed the button with a needle. The needle is hidden inside the teddy bear. + +"Mommy, what is this?" Sara asks, pointing to the hole. + +Mommy explains, "Your teddy bear had a rip on his nose, and I wanted to fix it. I used a needle and a thread to sew a button on his nose, so he can look happy. The needle is inside the teddy bear, so you don't have to worry about it. It won't hurt you or the teddy bear." + +Sara and Tom understand. They thank Mommy for fixing their teddy bear. They are happy to have their teddy bear back, and they think he looks even better than before. They tell the teddy bear they love him, and they take him home. They play with him all day, and they sleep with him at night. They are a happy family. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big red strawberry on a plant. They both wanted to eat it. + +"Can I have it?" Lily asked. + +"No, I saw it first!" Ben said. + +They both pulled on the strawberry. It did not come off. They pulled harder. The strawberry broke in half. Lily and Ben each had a piece. + +They looked at their pieces. They were very small. They felt sad. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I was not thoughtful. You can have my piece." + +"No, Ben," Lily said. "I was not thoughtful. You can have my piece." + +They looked at each other. They smiled. They decided to share their pieces. They each took a bite. The strawberry was sweet and juicy. They felt happy. + +They hugged each other. They said, "Thank you, friend." + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing near the well. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. Tom was good at throwing stones. He could make big splashes and hit the bucket. Lily was not so good. She was clumsy and often missed the well. + +"Look, Lily, I can hit the bucket from here!" Tom said. He threw a stone and hit the bucket with a loud clang. "Can you do that?" + +Lily wanted to show Tom that she could do it too. She picked up a stone and threw it as hard as she could. But she threw it too high and too far. The stone flew over the well and hit a chicken that was pecking in the grass. + +The chicken squawked and ran away. The farmer who owned the chicken came out of his house. He was angry and shouted at Lily. "What are you doing, you naughty girl? You scared my chicken and made it drop an egg! Go away from here and don't come back!" + +Lily felt very bad. She was embarrassed and sorry. She ran to Tom and hugged him. "I'm sorry, Tom, I didn't mean to hit the chicken. I'm a bad thrower. I'm clumsy and stupid." + +Tom hugged her back. "It's okay, Lily, don't cry. You're not bad or stupid. You're my friend. And you're good at other things. Like singing and drawing and making me laugh. Come on, let's go and play somewhere else. And maybe we can find the chicken and say sorry too." +Anna liked to dance. She danced in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She danced with her doll, her dog, and her friends. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. + +One day, she saw a big patch of flowers in the park. They were red, yellow, and blue. They smelled nice and looked pretty. Anna wanted to dance with the flowers. She ran to the patch and started to jump and spin and twirl. + +"Anna, stop!" her mom called. "You are being careless. You are hurting the flowers. They are not for dancing. They are for looking and smelling." + +But Anna did not listen. She danced and danced and danced. She did not see the bee that was on one of the flowers. She did not hear the buzz that was in her ear. She did not feel the sting that was on her arm. + +"Ow!" she cried. "Mom, help! It hurts!" + +Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She took out the bee and put some ice on her arm. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. You have a boo-boo. But you have to be careful. You have to respect the flowers and the bees. They are living things. They have feelings. They do not like to be danced on." + +Anna nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, flowers. I'm sorry, bee. I was having fun, but I was not thinking. I will not dance on you again. I will dance somewhere else." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "That's good, Anna. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, let's go home and have some cake. You can dance in the kitchen if you want." + +Anna smiled too. She said, "Okay, mom. I love you. And I love cake. And I love dancing. But not on the flowers or the bees." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with green needles. Sara says, "This is a pine tree. It smells good." + +Ben is curious. He wants to know how the pine tree tastes. He picks a needle and puts it in his mouth. He makes a face. "Yuck! This is bitter and sharp. It hurts my tongue." + +Sara laughs. She says, "You are silly, Ben. You don't eat pine needles. They are for the tree, not for you." + +Ben spits out the needle. He feels embarrassed. He says, "Sorry, Sara. I was just trying. I won't do it again." + +Sara smiles. She says, "It's okay, Ben. I still like you. Let's go play on the swings." + +They run to the swings and have fun. They forget about the pine tree. They are happy. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the river. They have a raft. The raft is wide and has a sail. They can sit on the raft and go with the wind. + +One day, they see a big fish in the water. The fish is shiny and has a long tail. Lila and Ben are curious. They want to talk to the fish. + +"Hello, fish!" Lila says. "What is your name?" + +The fish does not answer. It swims away. + +"Wait, fish!" Ben says. "Where are you going?" + +The fish does not answer. It dives under the water. + +Lila and Ben are sad. They want to be friends with the fish. + +"Maybe the fish is shy," Lila says. "Maybe it does not know how to talk." + +"Maybe we can try again tomorrow," Ben says. "Maybe the fish will answer then." + +They hope the fish will come back. They sail on their raft and look for the fish. They have fun in the river. +Ben likes to write. He writes with his crayons on paper, on the wall, on his clothes. He writes his name, his friends' names, and words he learns. He thinks writing is powerful. It makes him happy and smart. + +One day, Ben writes on his new shirt. He writes "Ben is powerful" in big letters. He is very proud of his writing. He shows his mom his shirt. He says, "Look, Mom, I write on my shirt. I am powerful!" + +Mom is not happy. She sees the writing on Ben's shirt. She says, "Ben, why did you write on your shirt? This is not good. You ruin your clothes. You cannot write on your clothes. You can only write on paper. Clothes are for wearing, not for writing." + +Ben is sad. He does not understand why Mom is angry. He says, "But Mom, I like to write. Writing is powerful. I want to show everyone I am powerful." + +Mom sighs. She loves Ben, but she does not like his writing on his clothes. She says, "Ben, I know you like to write. Writing is powerful, but you have to use it wisely. You can write on paper, on a board, on a book. But you cannot write on your clothes, or on the wall, or on anything that is not yours. That is not respectful. That is not powerful. That is naughty. Do you understand?" + +Ben nods. He understands. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't write on my clothes again. I will write on paper. Can I still write 'Ben is powerful' on paper?" + +Mom smiles. She hugs Ben. She says, "Of course you can, Ben. You are powerful. And you are also kind, and smart, and creative. You can write anything you want on paper, as long as you don't hurt anyone or anything. I love you, Ben." + +Ben smiles. He loves Mom. He says, "I love you, Mom. Thank you for teaching me. Can I have a new shirt?" + +Mom laughs. She says, "Yes, Ben, you can have a new shirt. But please, don't write on it." +Tom is a cat. He is gray and independent. He likes to do what he wants. He does not like to share his toys or his food. He does not like to play with other cats or people. + +One day, Tom finds a new place to sleep. It is a big and soft bed. It smells good. Tom jumps on the bed and rubs his head on the pillow. He feels happy and warm. He closes his eyes and purrs. + +But the bed is not his. It belongs to Anna. Anna is a girl. She is three years old. She likes to play with dolls and books. She likes to hug and kiss her cat. She does not know that Tom is on her bed. + +Anna comes to her room. She sees Tom on her bed. She is surprised and angry. She says, "Hey, that is my bed! You are not my cat! Go away!" + +Tom opens his eyes. He sees Anna. He does not like her. He hisses and scratches her. He says, "This is my bed now! You are not my boss! Go away!" + +Anna cries and runs to her mom. She tells her what happened. Her mom comes to her room. She sees Tom on the bed. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, you are a bad cat! You cannot sleep on Anna's bed! You cannot hurt Anna! You have to leave!" + +Tom does not listen. He does not care. He stays on the bed. He rubs his head on the pillow. He feels happy and warm. He closes his eyes and purrs. He is gray and independent. He likes to do what he wants. +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many branches. They want to climb the tree. + +"Look, Tim, a branch for you and a branch for me!" Sue says. She points to two branches that are close together. + +"OK, Sue, let's climb!" Tim says. He grabs a branch and pulls himself up. Sue does the same. + +They are happy on the branches. They can see the sky and the birds and the flowers. They pretend they are birds too. They make bird sounds and flap their arms. + +But then a harsh wind comes. It blows hard and makes the branches shake. Tim and Sue are scared. They hold on to the branches and each other. + +"Tim, I want to go down!" Sue says. She cries. + +"Me too, Sue, me too!" Tim says. He cries too. + +They try to climb down, but the wind is too strong. They are stuck on the branches. + +They call for help. "Help, help, help!" they shout. + +A man hears them. He is walking his dog in the park. He sees them on the branches. He runs to the tree. + +"Don't worry, kids, I'll help you!" he says. He is tall and strong. He reaches up and grabs Tim and Sue. He puts them down on the ground. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Tim and Sue say. They hug the man. + +"You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome!" the man says. He smiles. + +"What are your names, kids?" he asks. + +"I'm Tim and this is Sue," Tim says. + +"Nice to meet you, Tim and Sue. I'm Dave and this is Spot," the man says. He points to his dog. + +"Nice to meet you, Dave and Spot," Sue says. + +They all become friends. They play in the park together. They are careful with the branches. They are happy. +Ben has a new toy. It is a big truck with four wheels and a horn. He likes to play with it in the yard. He makes it go fast and slow, and honks the horn loud and soft. + +One day, he sees a line of ants on the ground. They are carrying tiny bits of food to their home. Ben is curious. He wants to see where they go. He puts his truck down and lies on his belly. He follows the ants with his eyes. + +"Hello, ants," he says. "Where are you going? Can I come with you?" + +The ants do not answer. They keep walking and working. Ben thinks they are busy. He decides to be nice and help them. He picks up a crumb of bread and puts it on his truck. He drives it to the ant home and drops it there. + +"Here you go, ants," he says. "This is for you. It is a big snack. You can share it with your friends." + +The ants are surprised. They see the crumb and the truck. They smell the bread. They think it is a gift. They thank Ben with their antennae. They take the crumb and bring it inside. + +Ben is happy. He smiles and waves. He makes a new sound with his horn. It sounds like "beep beep beep". He thinks it means "you're welcome". He hopes the ants like it. He likes the ants. He thinks they are his new friends. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a hose that could spray water. They took turns to hold the hose and make shapes with the water. Sometimes they made rainbows, sometimes they made flowers, sometimes they made animals. + +One day, they decided to have a game. They wanted to see who could spread the water the farthest. They were very competitive. They stood on opposite sides of the garden and aimed the hose at each other. They tried to make the water reach the other side. + +"Ha, I got you!" Tom shouted, as he sprayed Lily with water. + +"No, you didn't! I dodged it!" Lily said, as she sprayed Tom back. + +They kept spraying and dodging, laughing and shouting. They did not notice that they were spreading the water all over the garden. They also did not notice that their mom was watching them from the window. + +"Tom, Lily, stop!" their mom called. "You are wasting water and making a mess!" + +Tom and Lily stopped and looked at their mom. They saw that she was not happy. They also saw that the garden was very wet and muddy. They felt sorry. + +"Sorry, mom," they said together. + +They put down the hose and went to their mom. She hugged them and said, "It's okay, I know you were having fun. But water is precious and we have to use it wisely. And we have to take care of the garden, too. How about you help me water the plants and flowers instead?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They took the hose and followed their mom. They learned how to water the plants and flowers gently and evenly. They also learned how to spread some love and care in the garden. They still had fun, but in a different way. +Tom and Lily are twins. They go to school every day. They wear the same uniform: a red shirt and a blue skirt or pants. They like their uniform. It is nice and clean. + +One day, they have a new teacher. Her name is Miss Rose. She is very kind and funny. She tells them stories and songs. She makes them laugh a lot. She also wears a uniform, but it is different. It is a white coat and a hat with a red cross. + +"Why do you wear that uniform, Miss Rose?" Tom asks. + +"Because I am a nurse, Tom. I help people who are sick or hurt. I work at the hospital sometimes, and at the school sometimes." Miss Rose says. + +"What do you do at the hospital, Miss Rose?" Lily asks. + +"I give people medicine and bandages. I check their hearts and their ears. I make them feel better." Miss Rose says. + +Tom and Lily think Miss Rose is very brave and smart. They want to be like her when they grow up. They ask her if they can try on her hat. + +"Sure, you can try it on. But be careful, it is very wide. It might fall off your head." Miss Rose says. + +She gives them her hat. Tom and Lily take turns to wear it. They pretend to be nurses. They check each other's hearts and ears. They give each other medicine and bandages. They make each other laugh. + +Miss Rose watches them and smiles. She is happy to see them have fun. She thinks they are very cute and sweet. She gives them a hug and a sticker. She tells them they are good nurses. Tom and Lily are very proud. They love Miss Rose. They love their uniform. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden with their toys. They liked to make pretend houses with boxes and blankets. Lily had a green box that she used as a kitchen. Ben had a blue box that he used as a garage. + +But then they heard a drip-drip-drip sound. They looked up and saw water coming from the hose. The hose had a hole in it and it was making a leak. The water was wetting their boxes and blankets. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "Our house is getting wet! We need to fix the leak!" + +"How can we fix it?" Ben asked. He looked around and saw some tape. He grabbed the tape and ran to the hose. He tried to wrap the tape around the hole, but it was too slippery. The water kept dripping. + +"Maybe we need something else," Lily said. She looked around and saw some clay. She grabbed the clay and ran to the hose. She tried to plug the hole with the clay, but it was too soft. The water pushed the clay away. + +"Maybe we need something else," Ben said. He looked around and saw some glue. He grabbed the glue and ran to the hose. He tried to squeeze the glue on the hole, but it was too sticky. The glue got on his hands and the hose. + +"Maybe we need some help," Lily said. She looked around and saw their dad. He was working in the shed. She ran to him and said, "Dad, dad, we have a problem! The hose has a leak and we can't fix it!" + +Dad smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can help you. Let me see the hose." He followed Lily and Ben to the garden. He saw the tape, the clay, and the glue on the hose. He laughed and said, "You tried very hard, but you used the wrong things. To fix a leak, you need a patch and a clamp. I have them in the shed. Wait here, I'll be right back." + +Dad went to the shed and came back with a patch and a clamp. He cut off the water and dried the hose. He put the patch over the hole and tightened the clamp around it. He turned on the water and checked the hose. There was no more drip-drip-drip sound. The leak was fixed. + +"Yay!" Lily and Ben cheered. "You fixed the leak, dad! Thank you!" + +"You're welcome," Dad said. "Now you can play in the garden again. But be careful with the hose, okay?" + +"Okay," Lily and Ben said. They hugged their dad and went back to their boxes and blankets. They were happy that their house was dry and their hose was fixed. They played until it was time for lunch. +Lily liked to whistle. She learned how to whistle from her dad, who whistled all the time. She whistled when she was happy, when she was bored, and when she wanted to call her dog. She whistled so much that her mom sometimes asked her to be quiet. + +One day, Lily saw a birdcage in the pet shop. It had a yellow bird inside. The bird looked sad and lonely. Lily felt sorry for the bird. She wanted to make it happy. She went closer to the birdcage and whistled a song. The bird looked at her and tilted its head. It did not whistle back. + +"Hello, bird," Lily said. "Do you like my song? Do you want to be my friend?" + +The bird did not answer. It flapped its wings and moved around the birdcage. It looked uncomfortable. It wanted to fly and be free. + +Lily did not understand. She thought the bird was shy. She whistled louder and louder, hoping the bird would join her. The bird did not like the noise. It squawked and pecked at the bars of the birdcage. It wanted Lily to go away. + +The pet shop owner heard the commotion. He came over and saw Lily and the bird. He was not happy. He scolded Lily and told her to stop whistling. He said she was bothering the bird and the other animals. + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to upset the bird or the pet shop owner. She said sorry and walked away. She realized that the birdcage was not a good home for the bird. She wished the bird could fly and be free. She decided to whistle only when she was outside, where the birds could hear her and whistle back. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. They looked in the kitchen, but they could not find anything. They saw a big box on the table. It had a picture of a sandwich on it. + +"Maybe there is a sandwich in the box," Lily said. + +"Let's open it and see," Ben said. + +They opened the box. Inside, there was a long sandwich. It had cheese and ham and lettuce and tomato. It looked very good. + +"Wow, a long sandwich!" Lily said. + +"Who put it here?" Ben said. + +They heard a laugh behind them. They turned around and saw their mom. She had a smile on her face. + +"I did," she said. "I made it for you. Do you like it?" + +"Yes, we do!" Lily and Ben said. + +"Thank you, mom!" they said. + +They hugged their mom and then they cut the long sandwich in half. They each took a piece and ate it. It was very yummy. They were happy. Their mom was happy too. She had made a surprise for them. She loved them very much. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. Spot is big and brown and has soft wool on his back. Tom and Lily like to hug him and brush his wool. + +One day, they see a new toy in the shop. It is a sheep. It is white and fluffy and has wool like Spot. Tom and Lily are eager to have it. They stare at it and point at it. + +"Can we have it, please?" they ask their mom. + +Mom smiles and nods. She buys the sheep and gives it to Tom and Lily. They are very happy. They thank their mom and hug the sheep. + +They take the sheep home and show it to Spot. Spot sniffs the sheep and wags his tail. He likes the sheep too. He licks the sheep and the sheep makes a noise. It says "baa". + +Tom and Lily laugh. They think the sheep is funny. They play with the sheep and Spot. They have a lot of fun. They love their new toy. +Sara is a big girl. She likes to do things by herself. She is independent. She can dress herself, brush her teeth, and make her bed. But sometimes she needs help from Mom or Dad. + +One morning, Sara wants to wear her favorite dress. It is pink and has flowers on it. She looks for it in her closet, but she cannot find it. She sees a blue dress, a green dress, and a yellow dress, but not her pink dress. She feels sad. + +She goes to Mom and asks, "Mom, where is my pink dress?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Your pink dress is in the laundry, Sara. You wore it yesterday and it got dirty. You need to choose another dress today." + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes all her dresses, but she wants to match. She looks at Mom and sees that Mom is wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans. She says, "Mom, can I wear the blue dress? Then we can match." + +Mom nods and says, "Sure, Sara. That's a good idea. You can wear the blue dress and we can match. But first, you need to take a shower and wash your hair. You don't want to be dirty, do you?" + +Sara shakes her head and says, "No, Mom. I don't want to be dirty. I want to be clean and pretty. Can I take a shower by myself?" + +Mom says, "Yes, Sara. You can take a shower by yourself. But be careful and don't use too much soap or water. And don't forget to dry yourself and comb your hair. I'll be waiting for you in the kitchen." + +Sara says, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom. I love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Sara. You are a very independent and smart girl." + +Sara goes to the bathroom and takes a shower. She feels happy and proud. She is a big girl. She can match. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lila had a big doll with long hair and a pink dress. Ben had a small car with four wheels and a loud horn. Lila liked her doll very much, but she also wanted to play with Ben's car. She was envious of his toy. + +"Can I have your car for a little bit?" she asked Ben. + +"No, it's mine. You have your doll," Ben said. + +"But I want to try your car. It looks fun. Please, Ben, please," Lila begged. + +"No, Lila, no. Go away," Ben said. He pushed his car away from her and made a loud sound with his horn. + +Lila felt sad and angry. She grabbed her doll and threw it at Ben. The doll hit his head and made him cry. Ben dropped his car and held his head. Lila felt sorry for what she did. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" she said. + +Ben looked at her with tears in his eyes. He saw his car on the floor and picked it up. He saw a scratch on the side and felt sad. + +"Look what you did to my car. You made a scratch. It's not nice, Lila. It's not nice," he said. + +Lila felt bad. She wanted to make Ben happy again. She had an idea. + +"Wait, Ben. I have something for you. Come here," she said. + +She ran to the kitchen and got a paper towel. She came back to the living room and gave it to Ben. + +"Here, Ben. You can wipe your car with this. It will make it clean and shiny again. And you can wipe your tears too. It will make you feel better," she said. + +Ben took the paper towel and wiped his car. He saw the scratch fade away. He smiled. He wiped his tears too. He felt better. + +"Thank you, Lila. That was nice of you. I'm sorry I didn't share my car with you. Do you want to play with it now?" he said. + +Lila smiled too. She was happy that Ben was happy. She nodded. + +"Yes, Ben. I would like to play with your car. And you can play with my doll too. We can share our toys and have fun together," she said. + +They hugged and exchanged their toys. They played happily in the living room. They were not envious anymore. They were friends. +Anna likes to read books. She has many books in her room. She reads about animals, princesses, cars, and stars. She reads every day before she sleeps. + +One day, Anna feels sick. She has a fever and a cough. Her mom takes her to the hospital. The hospital is a big building with many rooms and people. Anna is scared. She does not like the hospital. + +The doctor is nice. He checks Anna and gives her some medicine. He says she has to stay in the hospital for one night. He gives her a bed and a blanket. He says she can read a book if she wants. + +Anna looks around. She sees a shelf with many books. She walks to the shelf and picks a book. It is a fancy book. It has a shiny cover and many pictures. It is a book about fairies. + +Anna likes fairies. She opens the book and starts to read. She forgets about the hospital and the fever. She feels happy. She reads about the fairies and their magic. She sees the fairies fly and dance and sing. + +"Can I read with you?" a voice says. Anna looks up. She sees a boy in the next bed. He has a bandage on his arm. He smiles at her. + +"Sure," Anna says. She moves to the side and makes room for him. She shows him the book. "This is a book about fairies. Do you like fairies?" + +"I do," the boy says. "They are cool. What is your name?" + +"I'm Anna. What is yours?" + +"I'm Leo. Nice to meet you, Anna." + +"Nice to meet you, Leo." + +Anna and Leo read the book together. They become friends. They are not scared of the hospital anymore. They are happy. They like to read books. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play and eat together. Today, they are having rice for lunch. Mom puts rice on their plates and gives them spoons. + +"Yum, I love rice!" Lila says. She is eager to eat. She leans over her plate and scoops up some rice with her spoon. She puts it in her mouth and smiles. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He is also eager to eat. He leans over his plate and scoops up some rice with his spoon. He puts it in his mouth and makes a funny face. + +"Ben, what's wrong?" Lila asks. She sees that Ben does not like his rice. + +"Too hot!" Ben says. He spits out his rice and blows on his tongue. He feels a burn. + +"Oh, Ben, I'm sorry!" Mom says. She comes over and gives Ben a glass of water. She checks his tongue and kisses it. + +"Better?" Mom asks. + +"A little," Ben says. He sips his water and looks at his rice. He does not want to eat it anymore. + +"Ben, you have to wait for your rice to cool down," Mom says. She stirs his rice with her spoon and blows on it. "See? Now it's not too hot. Try again." + +Ben is not sure. He looks at Lila. She is eating her rice and enjoying it. She sees Ben and smiles. + +"Ben, it's good! Try again!" Lila says. She holds up her spoon and shows him her rice. + +Ben trusts Lila. He leans over his plate and scoops up some rice with his spoon. He blows on it and puts it in his mouth. He does not feel a burn. He feels a taste. + +"Mmm, it is good!" Ben says. He smiles and eats more rice. + +Mom and Lila are happy. They eat their rice and talk. They have a good lunch. +Anna and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite animal was the otter. The otter was small and brown, and it liked to swim and play in the water. + +"Look, mom, the otter is so cute!" Anna said. + +"Yes, it is, honey. Do you want to feed it some fish?" mom asked. + +"Yes, yes, please!" Ben said. + +Mom bought some fish from the zookeeper and gave them to Anna and Ben. They walked to the fence where the otter was. The otter saw them and came closer, wagging its tail. + +"Hello, otter. We have some fish for you. Do you want some?" Anna said. + +The otter nodded and made a squeaky sound. It reached out its paw and took a fish from Anna's hand. It ate it quickly and asked for more. + +"Here you go, otter. You are very hungry, aren't you?" Ben said. + +He gave another fish to the otter, who ate it and smiled. It thanked them with a kiss on their fingers. + +"Aw, the otter is so nice. It likes us!" Anna said. + +"Yes, it does. It is very friendly and well-behaved," mom said. + +Anna and Ben smiled and fed the otter some more fish. They had a lot of fun with the otter. They wished they could take it home with them, but they knew it belonged to the zoo. They said goodbye to the otter and thanked it for playing with them. The otter waved and winked at them. They waved back and went to see other animals. They had a great day at the zoo. +Tom and Lily liked to go to the big water with their mom and dad. They liked to see the fish and the birds and the boats. One day, they saw something very big and gray in the water. It was a whale! + +"Wow, look at that whale!" Tom said. "It is so big and strong!" + +"Yes, it is!" Lily said. "But it is also young. See how it follows its mom?" + +They watched the whale and its mom swim and splash and make noises. They were happy and curious. + +"Can we go closer to the whale, mom?" Tom asked. + +"No, we have to stay on the boat," mom said. "The whale is wild and we don't want to scare it or hurt it." + +"But we want to say hello to the whale," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and said, "I have an idea. Why don't we use this?" She showed them a big horn that made a loud sound. + +"What is that?" Tom asked. + +"It is a horn that can talk to the whale," mom said. "We can use it to make sounds like the whale and see if it answers us." + +"Really?" Lily asked. "Can we try it?" + +"Sure, but we have to be careful and respectful," mom said. "We don't want to bother the whale too much." + +Mom used the horn to make a sound like the whale. They waited and listened. Then they heard a sound from the water. It was the whale! + +The whale made a sound back to them. It sounded like a hello. + +Tom and Lily were amazed and excited. They clapped and cheered. + +"Wow, the whale talked to us!" Tom said. + +"Yes, it did!" Lily said. "That was so cool!" + +Mom used the horn again to make a sound like a thank you. The whale made a sound like a goodbye. + +"Bye, whale!" Tom and Lily said. "We hope to see you again!" + +They waved to the whale and its mom as they swam away. + +Mom hugged them and said, "That was a very special experience. I'm glad we got to share it with you." + +"Me too, mom," Tom said. + +"Me too, mom," Lily said. + +They smiled and looked at the big water. They wondered what other amazing things they would see and learn. They loved the big water and the whale. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and yellow and blue. It looked like a rainbow. + +"Wow, look at that balloon!" Lila said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Let's go and see it!" Ben said. They ran to the balloon. A man was holding it. He had a hat and a coat and a bag. He looked rich. + +"Hello, children," the man said. "Do you like my balloon?" + +"Yes, we do!" Lila and Ben said. "Can we touch it?" + +"Sure, you can," the man said. "But be careful. The wind is strong today. It can blow the balloon away." + +Lila and Ben reached for the balloon. They felt it was soft and smooth. They smiled. They wanted to fly with the balloon. + +But then, something bad happened. The wind blew harder. It pulled the balloon from the man's hand. The balloon flew up in the air. Lila and Ben were holding it. They flew up too. + +"Help!" Lila and Ben cried. "We are flying away!" + +The man looked up. He was scared. He ran after the balloon. He shouted, "Don't let go! I will catch you!" + +But the balloon was too fast. It went higher and higher. Lila and Ben saw the trees and the houses and the cars below. They felt dizzy. They wanted to go back. + +They tried to let go of the balloon. But it was too late. The balloon was stuck to their hands. They could not get free. + +They wondered what would happen next. They hoped someone would help them. They wished they had never touched the balloon. +Lily and Anna are sisters. They like to play together. Sometimes they play with dolls, sometimes they play with blocks, sometimes they play with crayons. But today they want to play something different. + +They plan a surprise for their mom. They go to the kitchen and find some things. They find a bowl, some flour, some eggs, some milk, some sugar, and some chocolate. They put everything in the bowl and mix it with a spoon. They think it will be a yummy cake. + +They hear their mom coming. They hide the bowl behind the table. They smile and say, "Hi, mom!" + +Mom says, "Hi, girls! What are you doing?" + +Lily and Anna say, "Nothing, mom. Just playing." + +Mom says, "That's nice. Can I see what you are playing with?" + +Lily and Anna say, "No, mom. It's a surprise. You have to wait." + +Mom says, "Okay, okay. I'll wait. But don't make a mess, okay?" + +Lily and Anna say, "Okay, mom. We won't." + +Mom goes to the living room. Lily and Anna look at each other. They giggle. They think their surprise is harmless. They don't know that their bowl is leaking. They don't know that their cake is not a cake. They don't know that their mom will not be happy. They don't know that they will have to clean up. They don't know that they will have to say sorry. They don't know that they will have to learn a lesson. They only know that they love their mom and they want to make her smile. They are sisters. They like to play together. +Tim and Lily like to print pictures with their crayons. They have many papers with animals, flowers, and cars. They are proud of their prints and show them to their mom and dad. + +One day, they leave their prints on the table and go to play outside. But when they come back, they see that some of their prints are gone. They look around and see a boy running away with their prints in his hand. He is a thief! + +"Hey, stop!" Tim shouts. "Give us back our prints!" + +The thief does not stop. He runs faster and faster. He thinks he is smart and can keep the prints for himself. + +But he does not see a big rock on the ground. He trips over the rock and falls down. The prints fly out of his hand and land on the grass. + +Tim and Lily run to the thief and pick up their prints. They are happy to have them back. They look at the thief and see that he is crying. He has a scratch on his knee and a bump on his head. + +"Sorry, sorry, sorry," the thief says. "I just liked your prints. They are so impressive. Can I have one, please?" + +Tim and Lily look at each other. They are angry, but they are also kind. They decide to give the thief one print each. They choose the ones they like the least. + +"Here, you can have these," Lily says. "But don't take our prints again. That is not nice. You have to ask first." + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you," the thief says. "I am sorry. I will not take your prints again. I will ask first. And I will make my own prints too. Maybe we can be friends." + +Tim and Lily smile. They are glad that the thief is sorry and wants to be friends. They help him up and walk with him to his house. They show him their crayons and papers and teach him how to print. They have fun together and make new prints. They are not angry anymore. They are happy. +Mia and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. Mia has a new sweater. It is pink and soft and warm. Ben likes Mia's sweater. He wants to touch it. + +"Can I touch your sweater?" Ben asks Mia. + +"Okay, but be gentle," Mia says. "My sweater is new and nice." + +Ben reaches for Mia's sweater. He is gentle. He feels the soft wool. He smiles. + +But then, Ben trips on a rock. He falls down. He pulls Mia's sweater with him. Mia falls down too. They both land on the grass. + +"Ow!" Ben says. "That hurt!" + +"Ow!" Mia says. "My sweater!" + +They look at Mia's sweater. It has a big hole. The wool is torn. Mia is sad. She likes her new sweater. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Ben says. "I didn't mean to fall. I didn't mean to rip your sweater." + +"It's okay, Ben," Mia says. "It was an accident. You are my friend." + +They hug each other. They are still friends. They go to Mia's mom. She sees the hole in Mia's sweater. + +"Oh, no!" she says. "What happened?" + +"We fell down," Mia says. "Ben ripped my sweater." + +"I'm sorry, mom," Ben says. + +"Don't worry, Ben," Mia's mom says. "I can fix it. I have a needle and thread. I can sew the hole. Your sweater will be new again, Mia." + +"Thank you, mom," Mia says. + +"Thank you, mom," Ben says. + +Mia's mom is gentle. She sews the hole. She makes Mia's sweater new again. Mia and Ben are happy. They go back to play. They are careful. They don't fall again. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tent with many colors and shapes. They wanted to see what was inside, so they ran to the tent. But a man with a hat and a coat stopped them. + +"Sorry, kids, this is not for you. This is a mysterious show for grown-ups only. You have to go back to your family," he said. + +Lily and Ben felt sad and curious. They wanted to see the mysterious show. They looked at each other and had an idea. They waited until the man was busy with other people. Then they sneaked into the tent. + +Inside, they saw many strange things. There were animals that could talk, flowers that could sing, and stars that could dance. Lily and Ben were amazed and scared. They wanted to touch everything, but they also wanted to hide. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. It was the man with the hat and the coat. He was standing on a stage and talking to the grown-ups. + +"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the most mysterious show in the world! I am the great Magico, and I will show you wonders you have never seen before. But first, I need two volunteers from the audience. How about these two little ones?" + +He pointed at Lily and Ben, who were standing behind a curtain. They gasped and tried to run away, but it was too late. The man grabbed them by the hands and pulled them to the stage. + +"Don't be afraid, kids. You are going to be part of the show. You are going to help me with my magic tricks. Trust me, it will be fun. And don't worry, your family is watching. They will be proud of you." + +Lily and Ben looked at the man, then at each other, then at the crowd. They saw their mom and dad, who were smiling and clapping. They felt nervous and excited. They wondered what the man was going to do with them. They hoped it was not too mysterious. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, Tom has a new toy. It is a lamp. The lamp can change colors. Tom wants to show Mia his lamp. + +Tom puts the lamp in a box. He writes "To Mia" on the box. He takes the box to Mia's house. He knocks on the door. Mia's mom opens the door. + +"Hello, Tom. What do you have there?" Mia's mom asks. + +"I have a gift for Mia. I want to deliver it to her," Tom says. + +"That's very nice of you, Tom. Come in, Mia is in her room," Mia's mom says. + +Tom follows Mia's mom to Mia's room. He sees Mia playing with her dolls. He gives her the box. + +"Hi, Tom. What is this?" Mia asks. + +"It is a lamp. It is a special lamp. It can change colors. I want you to have it," Tom says. + +"Wow, thank you, Tom. That's very kind of you. Can I see it?" Mia says. + +"Yes, of course. Let's open the box," Tom says. + +They open the box and take out the lamp. The lamp is wide and round. It has a button on it. Tom presses the button. The lamp turns on. It glows red, then blue, then green, then yellow. + +"Wow, that's amazing. It's so pretty. I love it," Mia says. + +"I'm glad you like it. It's my favorite toy. But I want you to have it. You are my best friend," Tom says. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are my best friend too. Can we play with the lamp together?" Mia says. + +"Yes, let's play with the lamp together. It can make different shapes and sounds. It's very fun," Tom says. + +They play with the lamp together. They laugh and smile. They are very happy. They have a good time. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a huge map in the attic. It had pictures of many places and animals. Tom and Mia wanted to see them all. + +"Let's fly to the map places!" Tom said. He put on a hat and a scarf and pretended to be a pilot. Mia put on a dress and a necklace and pretended to be a princess. They took a big blanket and made it into a plane. + +They flew over the map and looked at the pictures. They saw mountains and rivers, forests and deserts, cities and farms. They saw lions and elephants, bears and penguins, cows and chickens. They made noises like the animals and laughed. + +"Look, there is a castle!" Mia said. She pointed to a picture of a big stone building with towers and flags. "Let's land there and see the king and queen!" + +"Okay!" Tom said. He steered the blanket plane to the castle and parked it on the floor. They got out and walked to the map. They pretended to knock on the door and bow to the royal family. + +"Hello, your majesties!" Tom said. "We are travelers from far away. We came to see your beautiful castle and your land." + +"Welcome, welcome!" Mia said. She pretended to be the queen and waved her hand. "We are happy to have you here. Come, we will show you our gardens and our horses. And we will have a feast with cake and juice!" + +Tom and Mia smiled and followed the queen. They had fun exploring the castle and the map. They forgot about the time and the attic. They were happy to fly and pretend. +Anna and Ben were playing in the yard with their toys. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars, planes, or animals. They did not see the dark clouds in the sky or hear the wind getting louder. + +"Look, Ben, I have a red car!" Anna said, holding up her toy. "It can go very fast and make a loud beep!" + +"I have a blue plane!" Ben said, waving his toy. "It can fly very high and make a zoom sound!" + +They laughed and ran around, making their toys go fast and fly high. They did not notice the rain starting to fall or the leaves flying in the air. + +Suddenly, they heard a big roar. They looked up and saw a huge, scary thing in the sky. It was spinning and blowing and making a lot of noise. It was a hurricane! + +"Mommy! Daddy!" Anna and Ben cried, dropping their toys and running to the house. They were very scared and wet. + +Their mommy and daddy were waiting for them at the door. They hugged them and took them inside. They closed the windows and the doors and turned on the lights. + +"Don't worry, my loves," their mommy said. "We are safe here. The hurricane will go away soon." + +"What is a hurricane, mommy?" Anna asked. + +"A hurricane is a very big and strong wind that can make a lot of damage," their mommy explained. "Sometimes it can appear in the ocean and move to the land. We have to stay inside and away from the windows when it comes." + +"Will our toys be okay, daddy?" Ben asked. + +"I hope so, my son," their daddy said. "But if they are not, we can get you new ones. The most important thing is that we are together and we are okay." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They felt better and hugged their mommy and daddy. They watched the hurricane from the window, hoping it would go away soon. They saw an old tree fall down and a car fly by. They were glad they were not outside. They hoped the hurricane would not hurt anyone or anything. They wished the sun would come back and make everything bright and happy again. +Lily had a red spot on her arm. It was itchy and sore. She did not like it. She showed it to her mom. + +"Mom, look at my arm. It hurts and it is red. What is it?" Lily asked. + +Mom looked at Lily's arm. She smiled and hugged her. + +"It is okay, Lily. It is just a bug bite. It will go away soon. I have something that will help you. It is called lotion. It is soft and smooth and smells nice. It will make your arm feel better." Mom said. + +Mom took a bottle of lotion from the shelf. She squeezed some on her hand. She rubbed it gently on Lily's arm. Lily felt the lotion on her skin. It was cool and soothing. She smelled the lotion. It was sweet and flowery. + +"Does it feel better, Lily?" Mom asked. + +Lily nodded. She smiled and hugged her mom. + +"Yes, Mom. It feels much better. Thank you. The lotion is fine. I like it." Lily said. + +Mom kissed Lily's cheek. + +"You are welcome, Lily. I am glad you like it. Now, let's go and play. Do you want to read a book or draw a picture?" Mom asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked both books and pictures. She decided to do both. + +"I want to read a book and draw a picture, Mom. Can we do that?" Lily asked. + +Mom nodded. She smiled and took Lily's hand. + +"Of course, we can, Lily. Let's go and have some fun." Mom said. + +They went to the living room. They picked a book and some crayons. They sat on the couch. They read the book and drew some pictures. They had a lot of fun. Lily forgot about her bug bite. She was happy and fine. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long, thick hair that Anna liked to brush and braid. Sometimes, Anna would fold Lily's hair into a bun or a ponytail. She would put clips and ribbons on Lily's hair to make her look pretty. + +One day, Anna's friend Ben came over to play. Ben liked to play with cars and trucks. He saw Anna's dolls and said, "Dolls are boring. Cars are fun. Can I play with your cars?" Anna said, "No, those are my brother's cars. He does not like to share. You can play with my dolls. They are fun too." Ben said, "No, dolls are for girls. I don't like dolls. They have too much hair." + +Anna felt sad. She loved her dolls and their hair. She said, "But Lily's hair is nice. You can fold it and make different styles. Look, I can make a crown with her hair. Do you want to try?" Ben said, "No, I don't want to fold hair. I want to zoom cars. Let's go outside and play with my cars. They are fast and loud." + +Anna did not want to go outside. She wanted to stay inside and play with her dolls. She said, "No, thank you. I like to play with my dolls. They are soft and quiet. You can go outside and play with your cars. I will stay here with Lily." Ben said, "Okay, bye. Have fun with your dolls." He took his cars and went outside. + +Anna hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I like your hair. It is beautiful and thick. I will fold it and make you a new style. You are my best friend." She smiled and picked up her brush and ribbons. She and Lily had a lot of fun playing with her hair. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny and had a string. + +"Look, a balloon!" Lily said. "Can we catch it?" + +Tom nodded. He ran after the balloon. Lily followed him. They wanted to play with the balloon. + +But the balloon was too high. They could not reach it. The string was long and thin. It went up and up and up. + +"Where is the balloon going?" Tom asked. + +Lily looked up. She saw the moon. It was round and white and bright. It was night time and the moon was out. + +"Maybe the balloon is going to the moon," Lily said. "Maybe the moon wants a friend." + +Tom thought about that. He liked the moon. He liked to look at it before he went to sleep. He wondered what the moon was like. + +"Can we go to the moon too?" Tom asked. + +Lily shook her head. She did not know how to go to the moon. It was far and unknown. She did not have a rocket or a spaceship. + +"We can't go to the moon," Lily said. "But we can tie something to the balloon. Maybe the moon will see it and know we are here." + +Tom liked that idea. He looked around. He saw a scarf. It was blue and soft and warm. He picked it up. + +"Let's tie this to the balloon," Tom said. "It will be like a hello to the moon." + +Lily helped him. They tied the scarf to the string. They watched the balloon and the scarf go up and up and up. + +They smiled. They hoped the moon would like their gift. They waved to the balloon and the moon. + +"Good night, balloon," Lily said. + +"Good night, moon," Tom said. + +They held hands and went back to their mom. They were happy. They had made a new friend. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the living room. They have a big couch that is soft and cozy. They can jump on it, hide behind it, or cuddle on it. + +One day, they have a new idea. They want to grow the couch. They think that if they put more things on it, it will get bigger and bigger. They run around the house and find pillows, blankets, books, toys, and even a lamp. They pile them all on the couch, making a huge mountain. + +"Look, Ben, the couch is growing!" Anna says, clapping her hands. + +"Wow, Anna, it is so big and heavy!" Ben says, trying to lift a corner. "Can we climb on it?" + +They try to climb on the couch, but it is too high and wobbly. They slip and slide, and some things fall off. They hear a loud thud and a crash. They look and see that the lamp has broken on the floor. + +"Oh no, Ben, we broke the lamp!" Anna says, scared. + +"Oh no, Anna, Mom and Dad will be mad!" Ben says, worried. + +They hear footsteps and see Mom and Dad coming into the living room. They see the mess and the broken lamp. They are not happy. + +"Anna, Ben, what have you done?" Mom says, frowning. + +"We wanted to grow the couch, Mom," Anna says, softly. + +"We wanted to have more fun, Dad," Ben says, sadly. + +Mom and Dad sigh. They are not angry, but they are disappointed. They explain to Anna and Ben that they cannot grow the couch by putting things on it. They tell them that they have to be careful with the things in the house, and that they have to clean up their mess. They help them put everything back where it belongs, and throw away the broken lamp. They hug them and tell them that they love them, but they have to be more responsible. + +Anna and Ben say they are sorry. They learn their lesson. They still like to play on the couch, but they do not try to grow it anymore. They have fun with simple words and simple games. +Sara and Ben love to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make them speed on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. Sometimes they make them crash and make loud noises. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a big box in the living room. It has a shiny wrap with a bow on it. They wonder what is inside. They ask their mom. + +"Mom, what is in the box?" Sara asks. + +"It is a surprise for you and Ben. You can open it tomorrow, on your birthday," mom says. + +"But we want to see it now!" Ben says. + +"No, you have to wait. It is more fun that way," mom says. + +Sara and Ben are curious, but they listen to their mom. They go back to play with their cars. They make them speed faster and faster. They pretend they are racing on a track. + +The next day, Sara and Ben wake up early. They run to the living room. They see the big box with the shiny wrap and the bow. They are excited. They rip the wrap and open the box. Inside, they find a huge car track with loops and ramps and bridges. It has two controllers and two fast cars. + +"Wow! This is awesome!" Sara says. + +"Thank you, mom!" Ben says. + +They hug their mom and then start to play with their new car track. They make their cars speed on the track, up and down and around. They have so much fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. Sometimes they see a big church near the park. It has a tall tower and a big door. Lily and Ben wonder what is inside the church. + +One day, they see a man with a ladder and a bucket. He is painting the church. He paints the walls white and the door red. He looks very busy. Lily and Ben want to help him. They ask him if they can paint too. + +The man smiles and says, "Sure, you can help me. But be careful, the paint is wet and sticky. And don't go near the tower, it is very high and dangerous." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They take a brush and dip it in the bucket. They paint the wall next to the door. They try to be neat and careful. They think the church looks very pretty. + +But then, Ben sees a bird on the tower. It is a blue bird with a yellow beak. Ben likes birds. He wants to see the bird closer. He forgets what the man said. He leaves his brush and runs to the ladder. He climbs up the ladder very fast. + +Lily sees Ben on the ladder. She is scared. She knows the ladder is not safe. She shouts, "Ben, stop! Come down! You will fall!" + +But Ben does not hear her. He is too busy looking at the bird. The bird flies away. Ben tries to follow it. He reaches the top of the ladder. He leans over the edge of the tower. He loses his balance. He screams. + +Lily runs to the man. She says, "Help! Help! Ben is on the tower! He is going to fall!" + +The man drops his bucket and runs to the ladder. He sees Ben hanging from the edge of the tower. He is very brave. He climbs up the ladder very fast. He grabs Ben by his shirt. He pulls him back to the ladder. He holds him tight. He says, "Don't worry, Ben. I've got you. You are safe." + +He carries Ben down the ladder. He puts him on the ground. He checks if he is hurt. He says, "Ben, you are very lucky. You could have fallen and hurt yourself badly. Why did you go up the tower? You know it is not a place to play." + +Ben is sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, sir. I saw a bird and I wanted to see it closer. I forgot what you said. I was silly." + +The man says, "It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are fine. But next time, listen to what I say. And stay away from the tower. It is not a toy. It is part of the church. The church is a special place where people pray and sing and thank God." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, sir. We are sorry. We won't go near the tower again. We will respect the church." + +The man says, "That's good, kids. Thank you for helping me paint the church. You did a good job. But now, it's time to go home. Your parents must be worried. Say goodbye to the church and the bird." + +Lily and Ben say, "Goodbye, church. Goodbye, bird. Thank you, sir. You are very kind. You saved Ben. You are a hero." + +They hug the man and run to their parents. They tell them what happened. Their parents are glad they are fine. They thank the man for saving Ben. They say, "You are a hero." + +The man says, "No, I'm not a hero. I'm just a painter. But I'm happy to help. And I'm happy to see the church look fine. It is a beautiful church. I hope you will come and visit it someday." + +Lily and Ben say, "We will, sir. We will. We like the church. And we like you. Goodbye, sir." + +They wave to the man and the church. They go home with their parents. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They will never forget the day they helped paint the church and the man who saved Ben. +Lily was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with at school. She only had her scissors and her paper. She liked to cut the paper into different shapes and make pictures. She thought the scissors were her friends. + +One day, Lily saw a boy with a red hat. He was playing with a ball. Lily wanted to play with him, but he did not want to play with her. He said she was weird and boring. He said her scissors were not toys. He said they were dangerous and sharp. He made fun of her and ran away. + +Lily was very sad and angry. She wanted to make him sorry. She wanted to cut his red hat with her scissors. She waited until he was not looking and ran to him. She grabbed his hat and snipped it with her scissors. She made a big hole in it. + +The boy was very mad and scared. He yelled at Lily and told the teacher. The teacher was very upset and disappointed. She took Lily's scissors and paper away. She said Lily was very naughty and mean. She said she had to punish her. She made her sit in a corner and think about what she did. + +Lily was very sorry and ashamed. She did not want to hurt the boy or his hat. She did not want to lose her scissors and paper. She did not want to be punished. She wanted to be nice and have friends. She cried and said she was sorry. She said she would never do it again. She said she would share her scissors and paper with others. She said she would be kind and gentle. She hoped the boy and the teacher would forgive her. She hoped she would not be lonely anymore. +Jenny was sad. She did not want to go to school. She missed her mom and dad. The sky was gloomy and gray. She felt a big lump in her heart. + +She walked slowly to the bus stop. She did not look where she was going. She stumbled on a rock and fell down. She scraped her knee and it hurt. She cried and cried. + +"Hey, are you okay?" a voice said. Jenny looked up and saw a boy. He had curly hair and a friendly smile. He was holding a red balloon. He was in her class. + +"I'm sorry, I fell down and it hurts," Jenny said, sniffling. + +"Here, let me help you," the boy said. He helped Jenny stand up and gave her a tissue. He looked at her knee and said, "It's not too bad. Just a little scratch. Do you want a band-aid?" + +Jenny nodded. The boy took out a band-aid from his backpack and put it on her knee. He said, "There, all better. Do you want to hold my balloon? It makes me happy when I'm sad." + +Jenny smiled. She took the balloon and said, "Thank you. You're very nice. What's your name?" + +"I'm Max. What's yours?" the boy said. + +"I'm Jenny. Do you want to be my friend?" Jenny said. + +"Sure, I'd love to be your friend," Max said. "Come on, let's go to the bus. Maybe we can sit together and talk." + +Jenny and Max walked to the bus, holding hands and the balloon. Jenny felt her heart warm up. She was not sad anymore. She was glad she met Max. He was her new friend. The sky did not look so gloomy anymore. It looked bright and colorful. +Lily was bored. She had no one to play with. Her big brother was at school. Her mom was busy. Her dad was at work. She looked around her room. She saw her toys, but they were boring. She had played with them many times. + +She saw a box under her bed. She did not know what was in it. She was curious. She pulled the box out. She tried to open it, but it was hard. She saw a lock on it. She needed a key. + +She looked for a key. She checked her drawers, her closet, her shelves. She did not find a key. She was sad. She wanted to open the box. + +She heard a noise. It was her big brother. He came home from school. He saw Lily and the box. He smiled. + +"Hi, Lily. What are you doing?" he asked. + +"I want to open this box. But I can't. It has a lock. I need a key. Do you have a key?" Lily said. + +"Maybe I do. Let me see." He took the box and looked at the lock. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a key. He put it in the lock and turned it. The box opened. + +"Wow! What is this?" Lily said. She saw many things in the box. She saw a rubber duck, a rubber ball, a rubber snake, a rubber band, and more. + +"These are my old toys. I used to play with them when I was little. They are made of rubber. Do you want to play with them?" he said. + +"Yes, please! Thank you, big brother. You are the best. These are not boring. These are fun!" Lily said. + +She hugged her big brother. He hugged her back. They took out the rubber toys and played with them. They made noises, bounced, stretched, and pretended. They had a lot of fun. Lily was not bored anymore. She was happy. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved flowers and had a garden full of them. One day, her friend Timmy came to visit her garden. Timmy had an opinion that he didn't like flowers. This made Lily sad because she loved her flowers very much. + +To make things worse, Timmy accidentally stepped on one of Lily's flowers and it hurt her feelings. Lily didn't know what to do.

Lily's friend said, "Let's put some powder on the bird!" But Lily said, "No, that's not nice. The bird might not like it." Her friends didn't listen and put the powder on the bird anyway. + +The bird didn't like the powder because it was too spicy. It flew away and Lily's friends felt bad.

And Lily felt happy because she knew she did the right thing. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the big green yard.

Lily thought about this for a moment and then said, "Oh, like playing with my toys and Max!" + +Her mommy smiled and said, "Yes, exactly like that." Lily felt happy that she understood what life meant. Later that day, Lily felt tired from playing with Max all day. She mentioned to her mommy that she was tired and needed a nap.

Do you want to play with us?" + +Max barked and nodded. He liked to play with cars too. He chased them and pushed them with his nose. He made them speed faster and faster. + +Tom and Lily laughed and played with Max. They were having fun. They liked the big black dog. He was their new friend. +Tom was a little bunny who liked to hop. He hopped all over the garden, the meadow and the forest. He hopped so fast and so far that he sometimes got lost. But he always found his way back to his home under the big oak tree. + +One day, he saw a big house with many stairs. He was curious and wanted to hop on them. He hopped on the first stair, then the second, then the third. He felt very brave and happy. He wanted to see what was on the top of the stairs. + +But as he hopped higher and higher, he heard a loud noise. It was a dog, barking and growling. The dog saw Tom and ran towards him. Tom was scared. He did not want to be eaten by the dog. He tried to hop back down the stairs, but he was too high. He looked for a place to hide, but he saw none. + +"Help! Help!" he cried. "Is anyone there?" + +He heard a voice, soft and sweet. It was a girl, who lived in the house. She saw Tom and the dog. She ran to them and picked up Tom in her arms. She shooed away the dog and hugged Tom. + +"Don't be scared, little bunny," she said. "I will keep you safe. You are so cute and fluffy. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Tom felt warm and cozy. He liked the girl. He nodded and snuggled with her. + +"Yes, please," he said. "You are very kind and nice. Can I hop with you?" + +The girl smiled and carried Tom to her room. She gave him some carrots and lettuce. She played with him and sang to him. Tom was happy. He had found a new friend. He hopped with her and forgot about the stairs and the dog. He was not scared anymore. He was glad. +Lila and Leo were twins who loved to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run on the grass. One day, they saw a big truck with a picture of a leopard on it. The truck said "Zoo". + +"Look, Leo, a leopard!" Lila said. "Do you think it is in the truck?" + +"Maybe, Lila. Let's go and see!" Leo said. They ran to the truck and leaned on the door. They heard a loud roar from inside. + +"Wow, it is a leopard!" Lila said. "It sounds angry. Do you think it wants to play with us?" + +"I don't know, Lila. Leopards are wild animals. They might bite or scratch us." Leo said. He felt scared. + +Just then, the door opened and a man came out. He was wearing a hat and a uniform. He had a big stick in his hand. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing here?" he asked. "This is not a place to play. This is a zoo truck. I'm taking this leopard to the zoo. He is very lively and needs a lot of space and care." + +"Sorry, sir, we were just curious." Lila said. "We like leopards. They are so pretty and fast." + +"Well, leopards are pretty and fast, but they are also dangerous and shy. They don't like people or noise. They need a quiet and safe home. That's why I'm taking him to the zoo. There he will have a big cage with trees and rocks and water. He will be happy there." the man said. + +"Can we see him, sir?" Leo asked. "Just for a moment?" + +"OK, but only for a moment. And don't touch him or make any loud sounds. He might get scared or angry." the man said. He opened the door a little bit and showed them the leopard. He was lying on the floor of the truck, with his yellow and black fur and his green eyes. He looked at them and growled softly. + +"Wow, he is beautiful!" Lila said. + +"Yes, he is. But remember, he is not a pet. He is a wild animal. He belongs to the zoo, not to the park." the man said. He closed the door and locked it. + +"Thank you, sir, for showing us the leopard." Leo said. + +"You're welcome, kids. But now you have to go. I have to drive to the zoo. And you have to play somewhere else. The park is full of fun things to do. You don't need to lean on zoo trucks." the man said. He got in the truck and drove away. + +Lila and Leo waved goodbye to the leopard and the man. They learned something new that day. They learned that leopards are lively, but not friendly. They learned that some animals need special homes and care. They learned that they should not lean on zoo trucks. They went back to the park and played with their friends. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Sam is a boy who likes to work with his dad. He helps him fix things in the house and in the yard. He has a toolbox with a hammer, a screwdriver, and a tape measure.

Sam screams and wakes up. + +He opens his eyes and sees his dad sitting on his bed. His dad hugs him and says, "It's okay, Sam. It was just a nightmare. You are safe and your tools are fine.

He sees his hammer, his screwdriver, and his tape measure. He says, "Thank you, dad. You are very helpful. I love you and I love my tools." His dad says, "I love you too, Sam.

They are safe. +Lily liked to move things. She moved her toys, her books, her clothes. She moved them from one place to another, and then back again. She liked to see how they looked different when she moved them. + +One day, she found a shiny penny on the floor. She picked it up and moved it to her hand. She liked how it felt cold and smooth. She moved it to her pocket. She liked how it made a sound when she walked. She moved it to her mouth. She liked how it tasted like metal. + +But then, she moved it too far. She moved it down her throat. She felt something stuck and hurt. She could not breathe. She could not speak. She could not move. She dropped the penny and fell to the floor. + +Her mom saw her and ran to her. She tried to help her. She tried to move the penny out of her throat. But it was too late. Lily was not moving anymore. She was not breathing anymore. She was not alive anymore. + +Her mom cried and cried. She wished she could move Lily back to life. She wished she could move the penny back to her hand. She wished she could move the time back to before. But she could not. She could only hold Lily and say sorry. She was sorry she did not see the penny. She was sorry she did not stop Lily. She was sorry she lost Lily. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Sometimes they play with blocks, sometimes they play with dolls, sometimes they play with cars.

We are a good team. We are dependable." + +Mommy nods. She is very happy. She loves her twins. They are kind and helpful. They are always there for each other. They are her home. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers, bugs and birds. They also saw a big pot with green leaves. Tom said, "What is that?" + +Lily said, "That is herb. Mommy uses it to make food. She says it smells good and tastes good." + +Tom said, "Can we smell it and taste it?" + +Lily said, "Yes, but we have to be careful. Mommy says some herbs are not good for us. They can make us sick or hurt us." + +Tom and Lily moved closer to the pot and smelled the herb. It smelled like lemon. They liked it. They picked a leaf and tasted it. It tasted like lemon too. They liked it more. They picked more leaves and ate them. + +Soon, the pot was empty. The herb was gone. Tom and Lily felt happy. They did not know they did something bad. + +Mommy came to the garden and saw the pot. She was angry. She said, "Who ate all the herb? That was my lemon balm. I needed it for my tea. It helps me relax and sleep. Now I have none left." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We did, Mommy. We did not know it was your herb. We thought it was for us. It smelled good and tasted good." + +Mommy said, "I understand, but you should not take things that are not yours. You should ask first. And you should not eat too much of anything. It can make you sick or hurt you. Lemon balm is good, but only in small amounts. Too much can make you dizzy or sleepy. How do you feel now?" + +Tom and Lily felt dull. They felt tired and sick. They said, "We feel dull, Mommy. We feel tired and sick." + +Mommy said, "I'm sorry, my loves. You will feel better soon. But you have to learn from this. Next time, be more careful and respectful. And if you want to try something new, ask me first. I will tell you if it is good or bad for you. And I will share it with you. OK?" + +Tom and Lily said, "OK, Mommy. We are sorry. We love you." + +Mommy said, "I love you too. Now, let's go inside and rest. And tomorrow, we can plant some more herbs together. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Lily said, "That sounds good, Mommy.

Tom said. + +"OK, but first we have to eat our lunch," Lily said. + +They went to the kitchen and saw their mom had made them some soup and sandwiches. They also saw a big bowl of vegetables on the table. + +"Yuck, I don't like vegetables," Tom said. + +"Me neither," Lily said. + +They tried to hide the vegetables under their napkins, but their mom saw them. + +"Superheroes need to eat their vegetables, they are good for you," their mom said. + +"But they are gross and green and crunchy," Tom said. + +"They are not gross, they are tasty and colorful and healthy," their mom said. "If you eat your vegetables, you will be strong and smart and brave. And you will get a surprise." + +Lily and Tom were anxious. They wanted to be strong and smart and brave, but they also wanted to play. And they wondered what the surprise was. + +They decided to try the vegetables. They took a small bite and chewed slowly. They were surprised. The vegetables were not so bad. Some of them were sweet, some of them were sour, some of them were soft, some of them were hard. They ate more and more until they finished their bowl. + +"Good job, Super Lily and Super Tom," their mom said. "You ate your vegetables like superheroes. Now you are ready to save the world. And here is your surprise." + +She gave them each a big cookie with chocolate chips. + +"Wow, thank you, mom," Lily and Tom said. + +They ate their cookies and smiled. They felt strong and smart and brave. They hugged their mom and said they loved her. + +"OK, now you can go and play," their mom said. + +Lily and Tom put on their masks and ran outside.

Let me get it." + +Lily said, "No, Tom, it is not yours. Maybe someone lost it. We should leave it there or give it back. That is honest." + +Tom said, "But I want it. It is pretty. And maybe it can make wishes come true. Please, Lily, let me get it." + +Lily said, "No, Tom, that is not fair. You cannot take what is not yours. That is wrong. You have to be honest." + +Tom and Lily argued for a while. Then they heard a voice. It was a lady. She said, "Hello, children. Have you seen my ring? I dropped it in the stream by accident.

We can help you get it." + +The lady smiled and thanked them. She said, "You are very kind and honest. I am glad you did not take my ring. It is not magic, but it is very precious. Here, you can have these cookies as a reward." + +Tom and Lily were happy. They shared the cookies with the lady. They learned that being honest is better than being greedy. They played with the lady and the animals until it was time to go home. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Can I join you?" a voice says. They turn around and see a chubby boy with a red hat. He is holding a wrap with cheese and ham. + +"Who are you?"

He picked it up and tried to poke the balloon with it, but it was too short. + +"Ben, I want my balloon!" Mia sobbed. She was very worried and sad. + +Ben felt sorry for Mia. He thought of his own balloon, flying far away. He wished he still had it, but he also wanted to make Mia happy. + +He had an idea. He ran to the nearby shop and asked the lady for another balloon. He used his pocket money to buy it. He ran back to Mia and gave her the new balloon. + +"Here, Mia, this is for you. I'm sorry your balloon got stuck. I hope you like this one." Ben said. + +Mia stopped crying and looked at the new balloon. It was pink and shiny, her favorite color. She smiled and hugged Ben. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are very kind.

They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They had a big bowl, some flour, some eggs, some milk, and some sugar. They also had a spoon to stir. + +"Let's stir the cake mix, Ben!" Lily said.

She climbed into her bed and pulled up her blanket. + +"Can you read me a story, mom?" she asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. What story do you want to hear?" mom said. + +Lily pointed to a book on her shelf. It had a picture of an owl on the cover. "I want to hear the story of the owl and the moon," she said. + +Mom smiled and took the book. She opened it and began to read. + +"Once upon a time, there was a little owl who lived in a big tree. He loved to watch the moon at night. He thought the moon was the most beautiful thing in the sky. He wished he could fly to the moon and be its friend. + +One night, the moon was very bright and full. The owl decided to try to fly to the moon. He flapped his wings and soared into the air. He flew higher and higher, but the moon seemed to be very far away. He flew for a long time, but he could not reach the moon. + +He started to feel tired and cold. He realized he had flown too far from his home. He looked around and saw only darkness and stars. He felt scared and lonely. He wished he had stayed in his tree. + +Then he heard a soft voice. It was the moon. The moon said, 'Hello, little owl. Why are you flying so high?' + +The owl said, 'Hello, moon. I wanted to fly to you and be your friend. You are so beautiful and bright. But I could not reach you. Now I am lost and sad.' + +The moon said, 'Don't be sad, little owl. You are brave and curious. You have flown higher than any other owl. You have seen the wonders of the night sky. You are my friend, even if you can't touch me. I will always shine for you and guide you home.' + +The owl felt a warm glow in his heart. He thanked the moon for his kindness. He followed the moon's light and found his way back to his tree. He snuggled in his nest and fell asleep. He dreamed of the moon and the stars. + +The end." + +Mom closed the book and kissed Lily's forehead. "Did you like the story, sweetie?" she asked. + +Lily nodded and smiled. "I liked it very much, mom. The owl and the moon are friends, just like us. Good night, mom. I love you." + +"I love you too, sweetie. Good night, Lily. Sleep tight." mom said. + +She turned off the light and left the room. Lily closed her eyes and cuddled her pillow. She felt happy and safe. She could see the moon shining through her window. She whispered, "Good night, moon. Thank you for shining." +Sam was a restless boy. He liked to run and jump and play with his toys. He did not like to sit still and listen to his mom or dad. One day, he found a new toy in his room. It was a network of trains and tracks. He was very happy and wanted to play with it right away. + +He put the trains on the tracks and pushed a button. The trains started to move and make noises. Sam watched them go around and around. He liked to make them go faster and slower. He liked to switch the tracks and make them go different ways. He was having a lot of fun. + +But he did not notice that his little sister Lily was watching him too. She was curious and wanted to play with the trains. She crawled to the network and reached for a train. She pulled it off the track and put it in her mouth. She liked to chew on things. + +Sam saw what she did and got angry. He shouted, "No, Lily! That is my train! Give it back!" He ran to her and tried to take the train from her. But Lily did not want to let go. She cried and held on tight. They started to tug and pull on the train. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Sam and Lily fighting over the train. She said, "Stop, stop! What are you doing? You are hurting each other and the train!" She took the train from them and put it back on the track. She said, "Sam, this is a nice toy, but you have to share it with your sister. She is too little to know better. You have to be gentle and kind with her. And Lily, you have to ask before you take something that is not yours. You have to be careful and not put things in your mouth. You could choke or break them." + +Sam and Lily looked at mom and felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Sam. Sorry, Lily." Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "It's okay. I know you both love the trains. Why don't you play together and take turns? You can have more fun that way. And maybe you can save some of the trains for later. You don't have to play with them all at once. You can play with them again tomorrow." + +Sam and Lily nodded and agreed. They said, "Okay, mom. We will play together and save some trains for later." They went back to the network and started to play. They shared the trains and the tracks. They made them go fast and slow. They switched the tracks and made them go different ways. They were having a lot of fun. And they were not restless anymore. +Tim and his dad love to go on adventures in their jeep. They have a big jeep that can go fast and make loud noises. Sometimes they go to the park, or the lake, or the forest. Today they are going to the zoo. + +"Are you ready, Tim?" Dad asks, as he puts on his hat and sunglasses. + +"Yes, Dad! I am ready!" Tim says, as he grabs his backpack and his toy lion. He likes to pretend he is a lion tamer. + +They enter the jeep and buckle up. Dad starts the engine and they zoom away. Tim sees many things on the road: cars, trucks, buses, bikes, people, dogs, cats, birds. He points and names them all. + +"Look, Dad! A red car! A big truck! A yellow bus! A blue bike! A man! A woman! A dog! A cat! A bird!" + +"Good job, Tim! You know a lot of words!" Dad says, smiling. + +They arrive at the zoo and park the jeep. They walk to the gate and buy their tickets. They enter the zoo and see many animals: elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, bears, penguins, crocodiles, snakes. Tim is amazed and excited. He wants to see them all. + +"Look, Dad! An elephant! A giraffe! A zebra! A monkey! A bear! A penguin! A crocodile! A snake!" + +"Wow, Tim! You are very brave! Do you want to feed the giraffes?" Dad asks, as he sees a sign that says "Giraffe Feeding". + +"Yes, Dad! I want to feed the giraffes!" Tim says, as he runs to the platform where the giraffes are waiting. He takes a leaf from a bucket and holds it up. A giraffe lowers its long neck and takes the leaf from his hand. Tim feels its tongue tickle his palm. He laughs and claps. + +"Look, Dad! The giraffe likes me! He ate my leaf!" + +"That's awesome, Tim! You are a great giraffe feeder!" Dad says, as he takes a picture of Tim and the giraffe. He is very proud of his son. + +They spend the whole day at the zoo, seeing and learning about different animals. They have a lot of fun and make a lot of memories. They are very glad they came. They enter the jeep and drive back home. Tim falls asleep on the way, holding his toy lion. Dad smiles and kisses his forehead. He loves his son very much. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to race with their bikes. They race to the park, to the store, to the school. They have fun and laugh. + +One day, they have a big test at school. They study hard and learn many things. They want to do well and make their moms and dads happy. + +The day of the test comes. Tom and Sam go to school with their bikes. They see a big hill near the school. They look at each other and smile. They want to race one more time. + +They race to the top of the hill. They go fast and feel the wind. They are happy and free. But then, Sam's bike breaks. His tire pops and he falls. He hurts his knee and cries. + +Tom hears Sam cry. He stops and turns around. He sees Sam on the ground. He feels sorry and worried. He forgets about the race and the test. He goes back to help Sam. He gives him a hug and a band-aid. He says, "Don't worry, Sam. I am your friend. I will stay with you. We can take the test later. You are more important than the race or the test. You are my loyal friend." + +Sam smiles and says, "Thank you, Tom. You are my loyal friend too. You are kind and brave. You are the best racer and the best friend. I am lucky to have you." + +They hug and walk to the school. They tell the teacher what happened. The teacher is proud of them. She says, "You are good boys. You are loyal friends. You can take the test tomorrow. You will do well. I am sure of it." + +Tom and Sam smile and say, "Thank you, teacher. We are ready for the test. But we are more ready for the next race. We love to race. We love to be friends." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big tree with many vines. The vines were long and green and looked like ropes. + +"Let's swing on the vines!" said Tom. "It will be fun!" + +"OK!" said Lily. "But be careful. Don't swing too high or too fast." + +They each grabbed a vine and started to swing. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They swung back and forth and back and forth. + +Suddenly, Tom saw something in the sky. It was a bird, but not a normal bird. It was enormous. It had a big beak and sharp claws and a loud cry. It was an eagle. + +"Look, Lily! Look at the bird!" said Tom. "It is so big and scary!" + +Lily looked up and saw the eagle too. She felt afraid. The eagle was flying towards them. It wanted to catch them. + +"Let go of the vine, Tom! Let go!" said Lily. "The bird will strike us!" + +But Tom did not let go. He liked to swing on the vine. He did not think the bird would strike him. He swung higher and higher and higher. + +The eagle saw Tom swinging on the vine. It thought he was a mouse or a rabbit. It wanted to eat him. It flew faster and faster and faster. + +Tom saw the eagle coming closer and closer and closer. He realized he was in danger. He tried to let go of the vine, but it was too late. The eagle struck him with its beak and claws. It grabbed him and lifted him in the air. + +"Help! Help!" cried Tom. "Lily, help me!" + +Lily heard Tom's cry. She felt sad and sorry. She wished she could help him. But she could not. She was too small and the eagle was too big. She watched as the eagle flew away with Tom in its talons. + +She ran to the house and told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and comforted her. She called the police and the animal control. They searched for Tom and the eagle, but they could not find them. + +Lily never saw Tom again. She missed him very much. She never played with the vines again. She learned to be careful of the enormous birds. +One night, a little girl named Mia heard a sound outside her window. She got out of bed and looked out. She saw a big, round, yellow eye staring at her. It was an owl! + +"Who are you?" Mia asked. + +"I am an owl," the owl said. "I live in the big tree near your house. I like to fly and hunt at night. Who are you?" + +"I am Mia," Mia said. "I live in this house with my mom and dad. I like to play and read and draw. You are very charming, owl. You have soft feathers and a cute face." + +"Thank you, Mia," the owl said. "You are very charming, too. You have bright eyes and a sweet voice. Can we be friends?" + +"Yes, please," Mia said. "Can I keep you as my friend, owl?" + +"Of course," the owl said. "But I cannot stay with you all the time. I have to go back to my tree and sleep during the day. And you have to go to school and learn new things. But we can talk to each other every night, if you want." + +"I want," Mia said. "I will wait for you every night, owl. And I will tell you what I did and what I learned. And you will tell me what you saw and what you caught. And we will have fun and laugh and be happy." + +"Deal," the owl said. "But now, you have to go back to bed, Mia. It is very late and you need to rest. I will see you tomorrow night, okay?" + +"Okay," Mia said. "Good night, owl. I love you." + +"Good night, Mia. I love you, too." + +Mia gave the owl a big smile and a wave. Then she went back to bed and fell asleep. The owl flew away and returned to his tree. He was glad he had met Mia. She was his new and charming friend. +Ben and Lily were twins who loved to play in their room. They had a big mattress on the floor that they liked to bounce on. Sometimes they pretended they were kangaroos or frogs or astronauts. + +One winter day, it was very cold outside. The window was icy and they could see snowflakes falling. Ben and Lily wanted to go out and make a snowman, but their mom said it was too cold and they had to stay inside. + +"Let's play on the mattress!" Ben said. "We can pretend it's a snowy hill and we are sliding down it." + +"Okay!" Lily said. "But we need to wear our hats and scarves and gloves, so we don't get cold." + +They put on their warm clothes and ran to the mattress. They took turns jumping on it and sliding to the edge. They laughed and shouted as they bounced and slid. + +"Look, I'm a penguin!" Ben said, lying on his belly and sliding with his arms at his sides. + +"I'm a snowflake!" Lily said, spinning in the air and landing on her back. + +They had so much fun that they forgot about the cold outside. They played on the mattress until their mom called them for lunch. They ran to the kitchen, feeling warm and happy. They ate soup and bread and drank hot chocolate. They thanked their mom for the yummy food. + +"Can we play on the mattress again after lunch?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, if you want to," their mom said. "But be careful not to bounce too high or too hard. You don't want to hurt yourselves or break the mattress." + +"We will be careful, mom," Lily said. "We love our mattress. It's the best toy ever!" +Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy rockets. They pretended they were going to space, where they could see stars and planets and aliens. They made noises like zoom and boom and beep. + +One day, they found a big box in the garage. It looked like a rocket, but it was old and dusty. Ben said, "Let's go inside and play. Maybe it can take us to space for real." Mia said, "I don't know, Ben. It looks scary. What if it is broken or dangerous?" Ben said, "Don't be a baby, Mia. It will be fun. Come on, follow me." + +They climbed inside the box and closed the door. It was dark and cold and smelled bad. They saw some buttons and wires and screens. Ben said, "Look, Mia. This is the control panel. Let's push some buttons and see what happens." Mia said, "No, Ben. Stop. We don't know what they do. Let's get out of here." Ben said, "Too late, Mia. I already pushed this one. It says launch. I think we are going to space." + +The box started to shake and make loud noises. Ben and Mia felt scared and sick. They tried to open the door, but it was locked. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. The box lifted off the ground and flew away. It went higher and higher, until it left the earth. It went into space, where it was dark and cold and unknown. Ben and Mia never saw their home or their family or their friends again. They were stuck in the box, alone and sad. They wished they had never played with the rocket. +Tim is a boy who likes to play with his dog, Rex. Rex is a big dog with a long tail and brown fur. Tim and Rex like to run and jump and fetch in the park. They are good friends. + +One day, Tim and Rex go to the park with Tim's mom. They see a new dog there. The new dog is small and white and has a short tail. The new dog barks at Rex and tries to bite his tail. Rex growls and shows his teeth. Tim is scared and runs to his mom. + +"Mom, mom, the new dog is mean to Rex!" Tim says. "Can we go home?" + +Tim's mom nods and hugs Tim. She calls Rex to come. Rex runs to them and wags his tail. He is happy to leave the new dog. + +"Good boy, Rex," Tim's mom says. "You are very brave. The new dog is not nice. He is dull and rude. We don't like him." + +Tim nods and pets Rex. He says, "I love you, Rex. You are my best friend. You are fun and kind. We don't need the new dog." + +Rex licks Tim's face and barks. He says, "I love you, too, Tim. You are my best friend. You are smart and sweet. We don't need the new dog." + +Tim and Rex smile and go home with Tim's mom. They are happy and safe. They are good friends. +Lily wanted a new skirt. She saw a pink skirt with flowers in the shop. She asked her mom to buy it for her. + +"Please, mom, can I have the skirt? It is so pretty!" Lily said. + +Mom looked at the price tag. It was too much money. She shook her head. + +"No, Lily, we cannot buy the skirt. It is too expensive. We have to save money for other things." Mom said. + +Lily was sad. She cried and stamped her feet. She did not want to leave the shop. She wanted the skirt. + +Mom was angry. She grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her out of the shop. She said, "Stop crying, Lily. You are being very naughty. You have to be grateful for what you have. No skirt for you today." + +Lily and mom walked to the bus stop. Lily was still crying. She saw a man selling lemonade. She wanted some lemonade. She thought it would make her feel better. + +"Mom, can I have some lemonade?" Lily asked. + +Mom sighed. She was tired of Lily's whining. She said, "Fine, Lily, you can have some lemonade. But only one cup. And then we go home." + +Mom gave the man some money and took a cup of lemonade. She gave it to Lily. Lily drank it. It was sour. It made her face twist. She did not like it. She spit it out. + +"Yuck! This lemonade is sour! I don't want it!" Lily said. + +Mom was furious. She said, "Lily, you are being very rude. You wasted the money and the lemonade. You should say thank you to the man. And you should drink it. It is good for you." + +Lily did not say thank you. She did not drink it. She threw the cup on the ground. She said, "I don't care. I want the skirt. I hate the lemonade. I hate you, mom." + +Mom slapped Lily's cheek. She said, "Lily, you are being very bad. You hurt the man's feelings. You hurt my feelings. You don't deserve anything. You are going to your room when we get home. And no more skirts or lemonade for you. Ever." + +Lily felt a sting on her cheek. She felt a pain in her heart. She realized she made a big mistake. She wanted to say sorry. But it was too late. Mom did not look at her. Mom did not talk to her. Lily was alone. She was sorry. She was sad. She cried. The end. +Anna and Ben went to the museum with Mom and Dad. They saw many things in the museum. They saw big bones, shiny rocks, old clothes and funny paintings. Anna liked the big bones best. She wanted to touch them. + +"Can I touch the bones, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"No, Anna, you can't touch the bones. They are very old and fragile. You have to look with your eyes, not with your hands," Mom said. + +But Anna did not listen. She saw a big bone that looked like a horn. She wanted to touch it. She waited until Mom and Dad were looking at something else. Then she stepped over the rope that said "Do not cross". She reached out her hand to touch the bone. + +But the bone was not strong. It was weak and brittle. When Anna touched it, it broke. It made a loud noise. The noise was so loud that everyone in the museum heard it. They all turned to look at Anna. + +Anna was scared. She dropped the broken bone and ran back to Mom and Dad. She started to cry. + +Mom and Dad were angry. They were also sorry. They had to pay a lot of money to the museum for the broken bone. They had to leave the museum right away. They did not see any more things in the museum. They did not have fun. + +Anna learned a lesson. She learned that she should listen to Mom and Dad. She learned that she should not touch things that are not hers. She learned that she should not step over ropes that say "Do not cross". She was very sad. She wished she had not touched the bone. +Sam and Lily liked to play in the park near their home. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. Sometimes they saw a big bus on the road. The bus was yellow and had many windows. The bus took children to school and back. + +One day, Sam and Lily had a bad idea. They wanted to ride the bus. They thought it would be fun. They did not tell their mom. They waited for the bus to stop and ran inside. The bus driver did not see them. He closed the door and drove away. + +Sam and Lily were scared. They did not know where the bus was going. They did not know how to get off. They saw many strange places and people. They wanted to go home. They cried and hugged each other. + +The bus driver heard them cry. He looked in the mirror and saw them. He was angry and surprised. He asked them, "Who are you? Why are you on my bus? This is very dangerous. You could get hurt or lost. Where is your mom?" + +Sam and Lily were sorry. They told him their names and where they lived. They said they were sorry and wanted to go home. The bus driver was kind. He said, "Don't worry. I will return you to your mom. But you must never do this again. You must always ask your mom before you go anywhere. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, we understand. We are sorry. Thank you for returning us to our mom." The bus driver drove them back to the park. He stopped the bus and opened the door. He helped them get off. He saw their mom waiting for them. She was very worried and happy. She hugged them and thanked the bus driver. She said, "I'm so glad you are safe. But you were very naughty. You scared me and the bus driver. You must never run away like that again. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, we understand. We are sorry. We love you, mom." They hugged their mom and said, "We love you, too, bus driver." The bus driver smiled and waved. He said, "You're welcome. Take care, kids. And remember, the bus is not a toy. It is for school and back." He closed the door and drove away. Sam and Lily learned their lesson. They never ran away again. They played in the park and waited for their mom. They were happy and safe. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were explorers in the jungle. They had a big stick and a hat each. They looked for animals and plants. + +"Look, Mia, a tiger!" Tom said, pointing to a big orange and black cat. It was not a real tiger, but a picture on a wall. But Tom and Mia did not know that. + +"Wow, Tom, it is so big and pretty!" Mia said. She wanted to touch it. She took a step closer to the wall. + +"Be careful, Mia, it might bite!" Tom said. He was a little scared of the tiger. He held his stick tight. + +"No, Tom, it is nice, see?" Mia said. She reached out her hand to the picture. The tiger looked at her with yellow eyes. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. It was not the tiger, but a dog. The dog was barking at them from behind a fence. Tom and Mia were very surprised and scared. They dropped their stick and hat and ran away. + +"Help, help, a dog!" they shouted. They ran back to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She hugged them and calmed them down. + +"It's okay, Tom and Mia, it was just a dog. He can't hurt you. He was probably just saying hello," she said. + +"But mom, what about the tiger?" Tom asked. + +"What tiger?" mom asked. + +Tom and Mia looked at each other. They did not know how to explain. They decided to keep it a secret. They smiled and said, "Nothing, mom, nothing." +Anna and Ben live on a farm with their mom and dad. They help with the animals and the plants. They like to play in the fields and watch the wheat grow. Wheat is a yellow plant that makes bread. + +One day, mom and dad tell Anna and Ben that they have to move to the city. They say that the farm is not making enough money and that the wheat is bitter. Bitter means not good to eat. Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They do not want to leave their home and their friends. + +"Why do we have to go?" Anna asks. "I love the farm and the wheat." + +"Me too," Ben says. "The city is loud and scary. I don't want to go." + +Mom and dad hug them and say, "We know, sweeties. We love the farm and the wheat too. But sometimes life is hard and we have to make changes. The city has a new job for dad and a new school for you. You will make new friends and learn new things. We will always be a family, no matter where we live." + +Anna and Ben do not feel better. They pack their things and say goodbye to the animals and the plants. They get in the car and drive away. They look back at the farm and the wheat. They raise their hands and wave. They hope that one day they can come back. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the forest. One day, they saw a big red mushroom with white dots. Lily wanted to pick it and eat it, but Tom said no. + +"Don't touch it, Lily. It is bad. It can make you sick or worse. I know because my mom told me so. She knows a lot about mushrooms. Only foolish animals eat those mushrooms." + +But Lily did not listen to Tom. She thought he was just scared and wanted to have fun. She said to Tom, "You are a baby, Tom. I am not afraid of anything. I want to try this mushroom. It looks yummy and pretty. Maybe it will make me strong or smart or happy." + +She reached out her hand and plucked the mushroom from the ground. She took a big bite and smiled. Tom watched in horror as Lily chewed the mushroom. He wanted to stop her, but it was too late. + +Soon, Lily felt a pain in her tummy. She dropped the mushroom and clutched her belly. She started to cry and moan. Tom ran to her and tried to help her, but he did not know what to do. He called for help, but no one heard him. They were too far from home. + +Lily got worse and worse. She turned pale and cold. She stopped crying and moving. She closed her eyes and did not open them again. Tom was alone with his dead friend. He wished he had stopped her. He wished he had not played in the forest. He wished he had listened to his mom. He was very sad and sorry. He was very foolish. +Sara loved to watch the penguins at the zoo. They were black and white and had funny beaks. They slid on the ice and splashed in the water. Sara wanted to touch a penguin, but her mom said no. + +One day, Sara saw a penguin that was different from the others. It had a red scarf around its neck. Sara thought it was beautiful. She wondered who gave it the scarf. She wanted to be its friend. + +She waited until her mom was busy talking to another mom. Then she ran to the penguin fence. She climbed over it and jumped into the snow. The penguin with the scarf saw her and waddled to her. Sara smiled and reached out her hand. + +"Hi, penguin," she said. "I like your scarf. Can I have it?" + +The penguin shook its head. It made a loud noise. Sara thought it was saying no. She felt sad. She tried to grab the scarf, but the penguin moved away. Sara followed it. She did not see the other penguins coming. + +The other penguins did not like Sara. They thought she was a bad girl. They wanted to protect their friend. They pecked at Sara and pushed her. Sara cried and fell down. She dropped her hat. The penguin with the scarf picked it up. + +Sara's mom heard her cry. She ran to the penguin fence. She saw Sara on the ground and the penguins around her. She was scared and angry. She climbed over the fence and grabbed Sara. She wiped her tears and hugged her. + +"Sara, what did you do?" she asked. "You know you can't touch the penguins. They are wild animals. They can hurt you. You could have hurt them too. You are in big trouble, young lady." + +Sara looked at the penguin with the scarf. It looked at her too. It put her hat on its head. It looked funny and cute. Sara smiled and waved. The penguin waved back. It made a loud noise. Sara thought it was saying bye. + +Sara learned a lesson that day. She learned that penguins are not toys. They are living things that have feelings and friends. She learned that she should not take things that are not hers. She learned that she should listen to her mom. She also learned that penguins are beautiful. +Ben likes to learn new things with his tutor, Miss Lee. She comes to his house every week and brings books, toys and games. Ben likes to read, draw and play with Miss Lee. She is very calm and kind. + +One day, Miss Lee brings a big scale. She says it can weigh things. She shows Ben how to put things on the scale and read the numbers. Ben is curious. He wants to weigh everything. He weighs his books, his toys, his shoes and his cat. He laughs when he sees the numbers. + +Miss Lee says, "Do you want to weigh yourself, Ben?" Ben nods. He climbs on the scale and stands still. Miss Lee reads the number and says, "You weigh 15 kilos, Ben. That's very good. You are growing well." Ben smiles. He is happy. + +He says, "Thank you, Miss Lee. You are the best tutor. Can we weigh more things next time?" Miss Lee says, "Of course, Ben. We can weigh anything you want. Learning is fun, isn't it?" Ben says, "Yes, it is. I love learning with you." They hug and say goodbye. Ben can't wait for the next lesson. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they saw a big tent in the park. It was for a circus show. They wanted to go inside and see the animals and clowns. + +"Can we go, please?" Lily asked her mom. + +"Maybe later, honey. We have to do some errands first," her mom said. + +Lily and Sam were sad. They waited for their moms to finish their errands. They saw many kids go inside the tent. They looked happy and excited. + +"Look, Sam. That's Max. He is very popular. He has many friends," Lily said. + +"Yes, he does. But he is not very nice. He never shares his toys. He always teases us," Sam said. + +Max saw Lily and Sam. He walked over to them. He had a big smile on his face. + +"Hi, Lily and Sam. Do you want to go to the circus with me? I have an extra ticket. You can be my friends," he said. + +Lily and Sam were surprised. They looked at each other. They did not trust Max. He had never been nice to them before. + +"Thank you, Max. But we don't want to go with you. We are already friends. We don't need your ticket," Lily said. + +Max was angry. He threw his ticket on the ground. He stomped away. He muttered something mean. + +Lily and Sam picked up the ticket. They looked at their moms. Their moms nodded. They smiled. + +"Come on, Sam. Let's go to the circus. We can have fun together," Lily said. + +"Okay, Lily. Let's go. We are lucky to have each other," Sam said. + +They ran to the tent. They held hands. They were happy. + +The moral of the story is: Friendship is more important than popularity. Be kind and share with others. Don't trust people who are mean to you. +Lila and Ben like to play with blocks. They make towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. Sometimes they make a temple, like the one they saw in a book. A temple is a big house for people who pray and sing. + +One day, they want to make the biggest temple ever. They use all the blocks they have. They put some blocks on the floor, then some more on top, then some more. They make the temple very tall and wide. They are happy and proud. + +But then, Lila sees a cat. The cat is black and white and has green eyes. Lila likes cats. She wants to pet the cat. She gets up and walks to the cat. She does not see the blocks. + +Ben sees Lila. He shouts, "Lila, no! Watch out for the blocks!" But it is too late. Lila bumps into the blocks. The blocks fall down. The temple breaks. The blocks make a loud noise. Lila and Ben are sad and scared. + +The cat runs away. Lila and Ben look at the mess. They see the broken temple. They see the old blocks. They see each other. They start to cry. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. Mom comes in and sees what happened. She hugs Lila and Ben. She says, "It's okay, my loves. You can make another temple. You can use new blocks. You can balance them better. You can have fun again." + +Lila and Ben stop crying. They smile at Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." They hug Mom back. They pick up the blocks. They start to make a new temple. They are happy again. +Ben has a dog named Spot. Spot is a good dog. He likes to play and run and bark. But today, Spot does not seem happy. He does not want to play or run or bark. He just lies on his bed and whines. + +Ben is worried about Spot. He asks his mom to take Spot to the veterinarian. The veterinarian is a person who helps sick animals. Ben hopes the veterinarian can make Spot feel better. + +They go to the veterinarian's office. The veterinarian looks at Spot and says he has a tummy ache. He gives Spot some medicine and tells Ben to feed him some rice and chicken. He says Spot will be fine in a few days. + +Ben is glad that Spot is not very sick. He thanks the veterinarian and takes Spot home. He gives Spot some rice and chicken. Spot eats it slowly. He looks a little happier. Ben hugs Spot and tells him he loves him. + +Ben and Spot go to bed. Ben hopes Spot will be hungry again tomorrow. He wants to play and run and bark with him. He knows Spot is a good dog. He knows Spot loves him too. +Sam and Mia were best friends. They liked to play soccer together. They wanted to win a trophy. They practiced every day. + +One day, they had a big game. They played very hard. They scored many goals. But the other team scored more goals. Sam and Mia lost the game. They were sad. + +"It's okay," Sam said to Mia. "We tried our best. We can try again next time." + +Mia nodded. She hugged Sam. "You are a good friend," she said. "Promise me we will always be friends, no matter what." + +Sam smiled. He hugged Mia back. "I promise," he said. "You are a good friend, too. Nothing can change that." + +They walked to the snack table. They saw some lemonade and cookies. They were thirsty and hungry. They took some lemonade and cookies. They bit into the cookies. They made a face. + +"Yuck!" Sam said. "These cookies are sour!" + +Mia agreed. "They are not good. They taste like soap!" + +They spit out the cookies. They drank some lemonade. The lemonade was sweet. They felt better. + +They looked at each other. They laughed. They forgot about the trophy. They were happy. They had each other. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had cars, dolls, blocks, and animals. They liked to sort their toys by color, shape, or sound. + +"Look, I have all the red cars here," Ben said, showing Lily his pile. + +"I have all the dolls here," Lily said, holding up her dolls. "They have pretty dresses and hair." + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. It sounded like a big drum. They looked out the window and saw dark clouds and rain. + +"What is that?" Ben asked, feeling scared. + +"That is thunder," Lily said, remembering what her mom had told her. "It is when the sky makes a noise. It is not bad, it is just loud." + +"Can we make thunder too?" Ben asked, curious. + +Lily thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. She grabbed a pot and a spoon from the kitchen. She gave the spoon to Ben and kept the pot. + +"Watch this," she said. She banged the pot with her hand. It made a noise, but not very loud. + +"Now you try," she said, handing the pot to Ben. He banged the pot with the spoon. It made a louder noise. + +"Wow, we are making thunder!" Ben said, smiling. + +They took turns banging the pot and the spoon. They made fake thunder and laughed. They did not feel scared anymore. They had fun with their toys and their thunder. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in their room. They have a big fan that makes wind. The fan has a switch. Tim can turn it on and off. + +One day, Tim and Sam are playing with their toys. Tim wants to make the fan go faster. He turns the switch up. The fan makes a lot of wind. Sam does not like it. He feels cold. He tells Tim to turn the fan down. + +Tim does not listen. He likes the wind. He laughs and says, "No, I like it. It is fun." He turns the switch up more. The fan makes more wind. Sam feels very cold. He is angry. He says, "Stop it, Tim. You are mean. I am cold." + +Tim still does not listen. He says, "No, you are silly. It is not cold. It is nice." He turns the switch up more. The fan makes a lot of noise. Sam is very angry. He says, "Stop it, Tim. Or I will bite you." + +Tim does not believe him. He says, "You will not bite me. You are a baby. You cannot bite me." He turns the switch up more. The fan makes a lot of noise and wind. + +Sam is very angry and cold. He runs to Tim and bites his arm. Tim screams. He says, "Ow, ow, ow. You bit me. You are bad. You hurt me." He turns the fan off. He cries. + +Sam says, "I told you to stop. You did not listen. You made me cold. You are bad." He does not cry. He is still angry. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees Tim crying and Sam angry. She sees the fan off. She says, "What happened? Why are you crying? Why are you angry?" + +Tim says, "Sam bit me. He is bad. He hurt me." He shows Mom his arm. Mom sees a mark. She says, "Oh, no. That is not good. Biting is not nice. Sam, why did you bite Tim?" + +Sam says, "Tim made the fan go too fast. He made me cold. He did not listen. He is bad. He made me angry." He shows Mom his arms. Mom sees goosebumps. She says, "Oh, no. That is not good. Making someone cold is not nice. Tim, why did you make the fan go too fast?" + +Tim says, "I liked the wind. It was fun. Sam was silly. He was not cold. He was a baby. He is bad. He bit me." He cries more. + +Mom says, "No, no, no. You are both wrong. You are both bad. You are both sorry. You both need to say sorry. And hug. And be nice. And share. And listen. And play. And love. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Sam nod. They say sorry. They hug. They are nice. They share. They listen. They play. They love. Mom smiles. She says, "That is good. That is better. That is how brothers should be." She hugs them. She turns the fan on low. She says, "Now, let's have a snack. And a story. And a nap. Do you want that?" + +Tim and Sam nod. They say yes. They are happy. They are brothers. They love Mom. They love each other. They love the fan. But not too fast. The end. +Tom is a young pig who likes to sleep a lot. He sleeps in a big pen with his mom, dad and brothers. Every morning, his mom wakes him up and tells him to eat his breakfast and play with his brothers. But Tom does not like to wake up. He likes to stay in his bed and dream. + +One day, Tom does not wake up when his mom calls him. He hears his mom say, "Tom, wake up! It is time to eat and play!" But he does not listen. He closes his eyes and sleeps more. He thinks, "I will wake up later. I do not want to eat and play now." + +But Tom does not know that today is a bad day. Today, a man comes to the pen with a big truck. He wants to take some pigs to a place where they make meat. He looks at the pigs and sees Tom sleeping in his bed. He thinks, "This pig is big and fat. He will make a lot of meat." He grabs Tom by his legs and puts him in the truck. Tom wakes up and feels scared. He cries, "Mom! Dad! Help me!" But his mom and dad cannot help him. They watch him go away with the man. They feel sad and angry. They wish Tom had woken up and stayed with them. But it is too late. Tom is gone. +Tim and Mia like to play with the screen. The screen has many colors and sounds. They can touch the screen and make things happen. They can watch animals, draw pictures, and play games. + +One day, Tim and Mia are playing with the screen in the living room. They are having fun. But then, Mom calls them for lunch. "Tim, Mia, come and eat!" Mom says. "You can play with the screen later." + +Tim and Mia do not want to stop playing. They say, "No, Mom, we want to play more!" Mom says, "You have to eat, or you will be hungry. The screen will wait for you. Come on, now." + +Tim and Mia are not happy. They put the screen on the sofa and go to the kitchen. They eat their lunch, but they are not very hungry. They want to go back to the screen. + +But when they finish their lunch and go to the living room, they cannot find the screen. They look everywhere. They look under the sofa, behind the curtains, in the toy box. They cannot see the screen. They are sad and scared. They think they have lost the screen. + +They run to Mom and say, "Mom, Mom, we have lost the screen! We cannot find it anywhere! Where is the screen?" Mom says, "Oh, no, you have lost the screen? How did that happen?" + +Mom goes to the living room and looks for the screen. She sees the screen on the floor, behind a pillow. The screen is dull and quiet. She picks up the screen and says, "Here is the screen. It is not lost. It is just out of power. You have to charge it with the cord." + +Tim and Mia are happy to see the screen. They say, "Oh, thank you, Mom! We are sorry we lost the screen. We will be more careful next time." Mom says, "You are welcome, Tim and Mia. I am glad you found the screen. But remember, the screen is not the only thing you can play with. There are many other things you can do. You can read books, play with toys, or go outside. The screen is fun, but it is not everything." +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toy boats. One day, they found a big pond with ducks and fish. They were very happy and put their boats in the water. + +But Tim's boat had a leak. It started to fill with water and sink. Tim saw his boat go down and down. He was very sad and started to weep. + +Sam saw Tim weep and felt sorry for him. He said, "Don't weep, Tim. I have an idea. We can share my boat. It is big enough for two." + +Tim looked at Sam and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. Can I help you sail your boat?" + +Sam nodded and said, "Yes, you can. Come on, let's go." + +They took Sam's boat and sailed it in the pond. They had fun and forgot about the leak. They saw the ducks and the fish and waved at them. They did not know that the pond was deep and had a big rock under the water. + +Suddenly, Sam's boat hit the rock and broke in half. It also started to sink. Sam and Tim were shocked and scared. They tried to grab their boat, but it was too late. It was gone. + +They looked at each other and started to weep. They had no boat left. They were very sad and ran to their moms. Their moms hugged them and said, "Don't weep, boys. We can buy you new boats. It is not the end of the world." + +Tim and Sam stopped weeping and said, "Thank you, moms. You are the best. Can we go to the store now?" + +Their moms smiled and said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go." + +They went to the store and bought new boats. They were happy again and went back to the park. They found a small puddle and put their boats in it. They said, "This is better than the pond. It is not deep and has no rocks. We can play here all day." + +They played with their boats and laughed. They were best friends. They learned a lesson. They did not care about the leak or the deep. They cared about each other. The end. +Lily loved ducks. She had a toy duck, a duck book, and a duck hat. She wanted to see real ducks at the park. She asked her mom if they could go. + +"Maybe tomorrow, Lily," her mom said. "It's too late today. But I recommend you save some bread for the ducks. They like to eat bread." + +Lily nodded. She put some bread in a bag and hid it under her bed. She dreamed of ducks all night. + +The next day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily was very excited. She saw a pond with many ducks. She ran to the edge and opened her bag of bread. + +"Hello, ducks!" she said. "I have some bread for you. Do you want some?" + +The ducks quacked and swam to her. Lily threw some bread into the water. The ducks ate it happily. Lily smiled. She saw a duck that was smaller and fluffier than the others. It had a yellow beak and a green head. It was very cute. + +"Look, mom!" she said. "That duck is so cute! Can I pet it?" + +Her mom shook her head. "No, Lily. That's not a duck. That's a goose. And geese are not very friendly. They can bite you. I recommend you stay away from it." + +But Lily did not listen. She thought the goose was a duck. She reached out her hand to touch it. The goose hissed and snapped at her. Lily screamed and pulled back her hand. She was scared and sad. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," her mom said. "Are you okay?" + +Lily nodded. She had a small scratch on her finger. Her mom gave her a band-aid and a hug. + +"It's okay, Lily," her mom said. "You learned something new today. Not all birds are ducks. And not all ducks are cute. Sometimes you have to listen to what I recommend." + +Lily nodded again. She still loved ducks. But she did not love geese. She decided to be more careful next time. She threw the rest of the bread to the ducks and waved goodbye. She hoped they would not be friends with the goose. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. But their favorite thing was to look at the statues. The statues were big and hard and looked like people and animals. + +One day, they saw a new statue. It was a statue of a man with a hat and a coat. He had a big bag in his hand. Tom and Lily wanted to know what was in the bag. They ran to the statue and tried to peek inside. + +But the statue was not a statue. It was a bad man who was hiding. He wanted to take things from the park. When he saw Tom and Lily, he got angry. He grabbed his bag and ran away. He pushed Tom and Lily to the ground. + +Tom and Lily were scared and hurt. They cried for help. They saw some other people in the park. They were their friends. They were gatherers. They gathered leaves and flowers and rocks and made art with them. + +The gatherers heard Tom and Lily cry. They ran to help them. They saw the bad man run away. They chased him and caught him. They gave him to the police. The police took him away. + +The gatherers helped Tom and Lily get up. They checked if they were okay. They gave them hugs and kisses. They gave them some of their art. They said they were brave and good. + +Tom and Lily felt better. They thanked the gatherers. They said they were sorry for touching the statue. They said they learned their lesson. They said they wanted to be friends with the gatherers. + +The gatherers smiled. They said they were happy to be friends with Tom and Lily. They said they could play with them anytime. They said they could teach them how to gather and make art. + +Tom and Lily smiled too. They said they would like that. They said they liked the park. They said they felt safe with the gatherers. They said they loved the statues. But only the real ones. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They are very lively and happy. + +"Look, Lily, I can reach the top of the slide!" Ben says. He climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. + +"Wow, Ben, you are so big and strong!" Lily says. She follows him and sits behind him. + +"Ready, Lily? Let's go!" Ben says. He pushes off and slides down. Lily slides with him. + +They go very fast and feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream. But at the end of the slide, Ben bumps his knee on the ground. He feels a sharp pain and starts to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! My knee hurts!" Ben says. He holds his knee and rubs it. + +Lily slides down and sees Ben crying. She feels sorry for him and wants to help. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily says. She gets off the slide and goes to him. + +"No, Lily, my knee is bad. It is red and sore." Ben says. He shows her his knee. + +Lily looks at his knee and sees a small cut. She thinks of what her mom does when she gets hurt. + +"Ben, don't cry. I have an idea. Come with me." Lily says. She takes his hand and leads him to the bench. + +She finds her backpack and takes out a bottle of water and a band-aid. She pours some water on a tissue and cleans Ben's knee. Then she puts the band-aid on his knee. + +"There, Ben, now your knee is better. The band-aid will make it heal." Lily says. She smiles and hugs him. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and smart. You are my best friend." Ben says. He smiles and hugs her back. + +They feel better and happy again. They go back to play in the park. They are very lively and happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds like vroom and beep when they move the cars. + +One day, Lily and Ben find a new car in the toy box. It is shiny and red. It has a button on the side. Lily and Ben wonder what the button does. + +"Let's try it!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They put the car on the floor and press the button. The car makes a loud noise like zoom and starts to go very fast. It goes around the room and under the table. Lily and Ben laugh and clap. + +"Wow, this car is cool!" Ben says. + +"Yes, it is!" Lily says. + +They chase the car and try to catch it. They have fun with the new car. + +But then, Lily starts to cough. She feels something in her throat. She can't breathe well. She holds her chest and sits down. + +"Lily, are you OK?" Ben asks. + +He is worried about his friend. + +"No, I'm not OK," Lily says. + +She sounds weak and scared. + +"I can't breathe. I need my lung medicine." + +Lily has asthma. She needs to use a special medicine that helps her lungs. She always has it in her backpack. + +Ben remembers. He runs to get Lily's backpack. He finds the medicine and gives it to Lily. Lily uses the medicine and breathes better. + +"Thank you, Ben," Lily says. + +She smiles and hugs him. + +"You're welcome, Lily," Ben says. + +He smiles and hugs her back. + +They are happy. They are friends. They still like the cool car, but they are more careful with it. They don't want to make Lily sick again. They play with the car and other toys. They have fun. +Ben and Mia liked to play outside. They liked to run, jump, and swing. They liked to look at the sky and the clouds. Sometimes they saw shapes in the clouds. A bird, a boat, a star. + +One day, they saw a big, dark cloud. It looked like a monster. Ben and Mia were scared. They ran to their mom. Mom said, "Don't worry, it's just a cloud. It will rain soon. Rain is good. It makes the plants grow and the air fresh. Do you want to watch the rain with me?" + +Ben and Mia nodded. They followed mom to the porch. They sat on a big, soft chair. Mom gave them a blanket and a book. The book had pictures of animals and colors. Ben and Mia liked the book. They pointed and named the animals and colors. Mom read the words. + +Soon, they heard a sound. Pitter-patter, pitter-patter. It was the rain. It fell from the sky and hit the roof, the windows, and the ground. Ben and Mia looked at the rain. They saw drops and splashes. They saw a rainbow. It had many colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. + +Mom said, "Look, a rainbow! Do you know what a rainbow means? It means that the rain is over and the sun is coming out. It also means that there is a treasure at the end of the rainbow. A treasure of gold and jewels. But no one can find it. It is a secret." + +Ben and Mia were curious. They wanted to see the treasure. They asked mom, "Can we go to the end of the rainbow? Can we find the treasure?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "No, my loves. You can't go to the end of the rainbow. It is too far and too high. And the treasure is not real. It is a story. A story that people tell to make the rain more fun. But you know what? You don't need a treasure. You have something more precious. You have each other. You are my treasure. And you are honest. Honest is when you tell the truth and do the right thing. Honest is better than gold and jewels. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Mia nodded. They hugged mom. They said, "We love you, mom. You are honest too. And you are our treasure. And we like the rain. And the rainbow. And the book. And the chair. And the blanket. And the sky. And the clouds. And the shapes. And the animals. And the colors. And everything." + +Mom kissed them. She said, "I love you too, Ben and Mia. You make me happy. You are my sunshine. And you are everything to me." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the store with Mom. Mom says they can each pick one toy. + +Lily sees a doll with long hair and a pink dress. She likes the doll. She says, "Mom, can I have this doll?" + +Ben sees a truck with big wheels and a horn. He likes the truck. He says, "Mom, can I have this truck?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can have the doll and the truck. But you have to share them with each other. The doll and the truck are flexible. You can bend them and twist them and make them do different things." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mom!" + +They go home and play with the doll and the truck. Lily makes the doll dance and sing. Ben makes the truck drive and beep. They have fun. + +But then, Lily wants to play with the truck. She says, "Ben, can I have the truck for a while?" + +Ben says, "No, this is my truck. You have the doll." + +Lily says, "But I want to try the truck. It looks fun." + +Ben says, "No, you can't. Go away." + +Lily is sad. She cries. Mom hears her cry. She comes and asks, "What's wrong, Lily?" + +Lily says, "Ben won't let me play with the truck. He is mean." + +Mom says, "Ben, is that true? Why won't you let Lily play with the truck?" + +Ben says, "Because it's mine. I picked it at the store." + +Mom says, "But you have to share, Ben. Remember, I said the doll and the truck are flexible. You can both play with them. How would you feel if Lily didn't let you play with the doll?" + +Ben thinks. He says, "I would feel sad." + +Mom says, "Then you should give Lily a turn with the truck. And Lily, you should give Ben a turn with the doll. Sharing is nice. It makes everyone happy." + +Lily and Ben say, "Okay, Mom." + +They give each other a hug. They swap the doll and the truck. They play together. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are in the same class. They like to play with blocks and cars and dolls. One day, they have a new teacher. Her name is Miss Lee. She is amazing. She sings songs and tells stories and makes funny faces. + +Miss Lee brings a big box to the class. She says it is a surprise. She asks the children to help her open it. Lily and Ben are excited. They want to see what is inside. They run to the box and try to pull the lid. But the lid is too heavy. They cannot pull it. + +Miss Lee says, "Maybe you can push it instead of pull it. Push means to move something away from you. Can you try to push the lid?" Lily and Ben nod. They put their hands on the lid and push hard. The lid slides off the box. They see many colorful balls inside. They are happy. They clap and cheer. + +Miss Lee says, "These are balls for you to play with. You can roll them, bounce them, throw them, and catch them. But be careful not to hit anyone or break anything. Have fun!" She helps the children take the balls out of the box and spread them on the floor. + +Lily and Ben have a lot of fun with the balls. They roll them to each other, bounce them on the wall, throw them in the air, and catch them with their hands. They laugh and giggle. They think Miss Lee is the best teacher ever. They say, "Thank you, Miss Lee, for the amazing surprise!" Miss Lee smiles and hugs them. She says, "You are very welcome, Lily and Ben. You are amazing, too!" +Lily was excited to go to the park with her mother. She put on her pink hat and her blue shoes and ran to the door. She wanted to play on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. + +"Wait, Lily," her mother said. "You need to eat your breakfast first. You can't go to the park on an empty stomach." + +Lily did not want to eat. She wanted to go now. She tried to resist her mother and pull the door open. But her mother was stronger and held her back. + +"Lily, stop. You have to eat something. How about some toast and jam? Or some cereal and milk? Or some fruit and yogurt?" her mother asked. + +Lily shook her head. She did not like any of those things. She only liked cookies and candy. She said, "No, no, no. I want cookies. I want candy. I want park." + +Her mother sighed. She knew Lily liked sweets, but she also knew they were not good for her. She said, "Lily, you can't have cookies and candy for breakfast. They are not healthy. They will make you sick and tired. You need to eat something good for you. Then you can have one cookie or one candy as a treat at the park. How does that sound?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She really wanted to go to the park. She really wanted a treat. She decided to listen to her mother. She said, "Okay, okay, okay. I will eat something good. Then I will have a treat. Then I will go to the park." + +Her mother smiled. She was proud of Lily for being a good girl. She said, "That's great, Lily. I'm glad you agree. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and find something yummy for you to eat. Then we can go to the park and have fun." + +Lily nodded. She followed her mother to the kitchen. She was still excited to go to the park, but she was also happy to make her mother happy. She hoped they would have a good day together. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a butterfly. It is yellow and black. It is very pretty. + +"Look, a butterfly!" Tom says. "I want to catch it!" + +He runs after the butterfly. He tries to grab it with his hands. But the butterfly is fast. It flies away. + +"Wait for me, Tom!" Lily says. She follows Tom. She likes the butterfly too. But she does not want to catch it. She wants to look at it. + +Tom and Lily chase the butterfly. They go past the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They do not see the other kids. They only see the butterfly. + +The butterfly lands on a flower. Tom is close. He jumps and reaches for it. But the butterfly is tough. It flaps its wings and flies away again. + +"Ha ha, you missed it!" Lily says. She laughs. She thinks it is funny. + +Tom is not happy. He is angry. He does not like to miss. He does not like to lose. He does not like Lily's laugh. + +"Stop laughing!" Tom says. He pushes Lily. Lily falls down. She hurts her knee. She cries. + +The butterfly is gone. Tom and Lily are sad. They are not friends anymore. They go home. They do not play in the park. They do not see the butterfly. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a new boy sitting on a bench. He had a big toy car in his hands.
