They look guilty. + +"That's not how it works," mom says. "You can't change your weight by adding things. You can only change your weight by eating more or less, or growing taller or shorter. And you don't need to compare your weight with each other. You are both perfect the way you are." + +She hugs them and takes out the things from their clothes. She puts the scale away and gives them a snack. + +"Next time, play with something else," she says. "And don't push each other. You could get hurt." + +Lily and Ben say sorry and hug each other. They decide to play with Spot instead. They are happy and forget about the scale. +Lily was a little girl who liked to wander. She liked to see new things and meet new people. But her mom always told her to stay close to home and not to go to the street. The street was big and loud and dangerous, mom said. + +One day, Lily saw a big red ball in the park. She wanted to play with it, so she ran after it. She did not see that the ball was rolling to the street. She did not hear her mom calling her name. She only saw the ball. + +She reached the ball and picked it up. She was happy. But then she looked up and saw a big car coming fast. She was fearful. She did not know what to do. She froze. + +"Stop!" a voice shouted. It was a boy who was playing in the park. He saw Lily and the car. He ran to her and pulled her away from the street. He saved her. + +Lily dropped the ball and hugged the boy. She was thankful. She was sorry. She learned a lesson. She said, "Thank you for helping me. I was wrong to wander to the street. I will listen to my mom next time." + +The boy smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you're okay. The street is not a place to play. You have to be careful and watch where you go." + +Lily nodded and said, "I will. And I will be your friend. What is your name?" + +The boy said, "My name is Ben. And I will be your friend too. What is your name?" + +Lily said, "My name is Lily. And this is my mom. She is looking for me. Come, let's go to her." + +Lily and Ben ran to Lily's mom. Lily's mom was happy and relieved to see her. She hugged her and thanked Ben. She said, "You are a brave and kind boy. You did a good thing. I'm proud of you." + +Ben said, "Thank you, ma'am. I'm happy to help." + +Lily's mom said, "You are welcome. And you are welcome to play with Lily anytime. But please, stay away from the street." + +Lily and Ben said, "We will, mom. We will." And they smiled. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They had many toys to play with. They had a ball, a bike, a doll and a gun. The gun was not a real gun. It was a toy gun that made a loud noise when you pulled the trigger. + +Tom liked the gun very much. He wanted to play with it all the time. He did not want to share it with Lily. Lily liked the gun too. She wanted to have a turn with it. She asked Tom politely, "Can I play with the gun, please?" + +Tom said, "No, it is my gun. You can play with the doll." Lily did not like the doll. She said, "But I don't want to play with the doll. I want to play with the gun. Please, let me have a turn." + +Tom said, "No, you can't. Go away." He pointed the gun at Lily and pulled the trigger. The gun made a loud noise. Lily was scared and sad. She ran away crying. + +A lady who was sitting on a bench saw what happened. She came over to Tom and said, "That was not nice. You should not point the gun at your friend. You should share your toys. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" + +Tom felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry. I was mean. I don't want to make Lily cry. I want to be her friend." He ran after Lily and said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was mean. Do you want to play with the gun? You can choose any toy you want." + +Lily stopped crying. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I want to play with the gun, but only if you play with me. We can take turns and have fun." + +Tom and Lily hugged and went back to the park. They played with the gun and the other toys. They were polite and happy. The lady who saw them smiled and said, "That's better. That's how friends should play." +Tommy likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He also likes to pretend he is a mechanic and fix his cars when they break. + +One day, Tommy's dad takes him to a real mechanic shop. Tommy is very excited to see the big cars and the tools. He wants to help the mechanic fix the cars. The mechanic is nice and lets Tommy watch him work. He shows Tommy how to change a tire, how to check the oil, and how to use a wrench. + +Tommy learns a lot from the mechanic. He asks him many questions and the mechanic answers them. Tommy says, "You are a good mechanic. I want to be like you when I grow up." The mechanic smiles and says, "Thank you, Tommy. You are a smart and curious boy. You can be anything you want to be." + +Tommy and his dad stay at the mechanic shop for a long time. Tommy has so much fun that he forgets to take a nap. He starts to feel tired and sleepy. He yawns and rubs his eyes. His dad says, "It's time to go home, Tommy. You need to rest. You had a big day today." Tommy nods and says, "Okay, dad. Bye, mechanic. Thank you for letting me play with you." The mechanic waves and says, "Bye, Tommy. You are welcome. Come back anytime." + +Tommy and his dad get in their car and drive home. Tommy looks out the window and sees the bright sun and the blue sky. He thinks about the mechanic and his toy cars. He smiles and falls asleep in his seat. He dreams of being a mechanic and fixing cars. He is happy. +Tom and Lily wanted to buy a new toy. They had some money from their grandma. They were eager to go to the shop and see what they could get. + +They asked their mom if they could go. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful and stay together. She gave them a big hug and a kiss and told them to be back soon. + +Tom and Lily ran to the shop. They saw many toys on the shelves. They liked the cars, the dolls, the balls, and the books. They could not decide what to buy. + +They saw a big teddy bear. It was soft and brown and had a red bow. They both wanted it. They asked the shopkeeper how much it was. He said it was ten dollars. + +Tom and Lily looked at their money. They had only eight dollars. They were sad. They asked the shopkeeper if he could give them the teddy bear for less. He said no. He said it was a fair price. + +Tom and Lily did not want to leave the teddy bear. They had an idea. They waited until the shopkeeper was busy with another customer. Then they grabbed the teddy bear and ran out of the shop. + +They thought they were clever. They did not see the police officer who saw them. He ran after them and caught them. He was angry. He took them back to the shop and called their mom. + +Their mom came and saw what they had done. She was very upset. She said they were naughty and dishonest. She said they had to give back the teddy bear and say sorry to the shopkeeper. She said they had to pay a fine and do extra chores. She said they could not buy any toys for a long time. + +Tom and Lily cried. They wished they had not taken the teddy bear. They wished they had been good and listened to their mom. They learned a hard lesson. They did not have a new toy. They did not have any fun. They had a bad day. +Sara did not like to bathe. She thought it was boring and cold and wet. She liked to play with her toys and books and crayons. But every night, her mom said, "Sara, it is time to bathe. You are dirty and smelly. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +Sara would pout and whine and say, "No, mom, I don't want to bathe. I want to play. Please, mom, please." + +But mom would not listen. She would take Sara by the hand and lead her to the bathroom. She would fill the tub with warm water and bubbles and say, "Look, Sara, it is fun to bathe. You can splash and play with your rubber duck and your boat. And I will wash your hair and make it shiny and soft." + +Sara would still not like it. She would cry and say, "No, mom, I don't like it. It hurts my eyes and ears and nose. And I don't like the bubbles. They are sticky and icky. And I don't like the rubber duck and the boat. They are silly and boring." + +Mom would sigh and say, "Sara, you have to bathe. It is good for you. It makes you clean and healthy and happy. And you know what? If you don't bathe, a witch will come and take you away. She will put you in a big pot and boil you and eat you. She likes dirty and smelly children. Do you want that, Sara?" + +Sara would gasp and say, "No, mom, I don't want that. I don't want a witch to come and take me away. I don't want to be in a big pot and boil and be eaten. That is scary and bad and sad." + +Mom would smile and say, "Then you have to bathe, Sara. You have to be brave and smart and good. And I will be with you and help you and love you. And when you are done, you can wear your cozy pajamas and read your favorite story and cuddle with your teddy bear. How does that sound, Sara?" + +Sara would think and say, "OK, mom, I will bathe. But only for a little bit. And then I want my pajamas and my story and my teddy bear. And I want a hug and a kiss and a good night." + +Mom would hug and kiss Sara and say, "That sounds perfect, Sara. I am proud of you. You are a good girl. And I love you very much." + +Sara would smile and say, "I love you too, mom. And I am sorry for being grumpy. And I am not afraid of the witch. She is not real. She is just a story. Right, mom?" + +Mom would nod and say, "Right, Sara. She is just a story. A silly and gloomy story. Now let's bathe and have fun. And then we can have a sweet and happy dream." +Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a basket for her books. She put each toy in its place and made sure they were neat and tidy. + +One day, her mother came to her room and said, "Lily, you are very polite and good at organizing. Do you want to help me organize the kitchen?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She followed her mother to the kitchen and saw many things on the table. There were plates, cups, spoons, forks, knives, and napkins. + +"Can you help me put these things in the right places?" her mother asked. + +Lily said, "Yes, I can. I know where they go." + +She took a plate and put it in the cupboard. She took a cup and put it on the shelf. She took a spoon and put it in the drawer. She did the same for the forks and knives. She took a napkin and folded it nicely. She put it in the basket. + +"Good job, Lily!" her mother said. "You are very helpful and smart. Thank you for organizing the kitchen with me." + +Lily hugged her mother and said, "You're welcome, mother. I like to organize. It is fun and easy." +Lily likes to slide on the big slide at the park. She goes very fast and feels the wind in her hair. She laughs and says, "Whee!" She slides again and again. + +One day, Lily sees a new boy at the park. He has a tutor with him. The tutor helps him learn new words and numbers. Lily wants to play with the boy, but he looks shy and scared. She says, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to slide with me?" + +The boy nods and smiles. He follows Lily to the slide. He holds her hand and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide and says, "Ready?" Lily says, "Ready!" They slide down together and giggle. + +The tutor watches them and claps. She says, "Good job, Sam! You made a new friend!" Sam feels happy and proud. He says, "Thank you, tutor. You are very nice." + +Lily and Sam play some more. They swing, run, and jump. They have fun and share their toys. They pretend to be animals and make funny noises. They use fake ears and tails and act silly. + +Lily and Sam like each other. They are friends. They like to slide and learn and play. They say, "Bye, see you soon!" They hug and wave. They go home with their tutor and mom. They are happy. +Anna loved to dance. She danced in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She wanted to be a dancer when she grew up. She had a pink dress and shoes that made her feel like a dancer. + +One day, her mom said, "Anna, we have a surprise for you. We are going to a dance school. You can learn to dance with other children and a teacher." + +Anna was very happy. She put on her dress and shoes and got in the car. She could not wait to see the dance school. + +When they arrived, Anna saw a big building with a sign that said "Dance School". She ran inside with her mom. She saw a big room with a mirror and a bar. She saw other children in different dresses and shoes. She saw a lady with a smile and a tape. She was the teacher. + +The teacher said, "Hello, children. Welcome to the dance school. I am Miss Rose. Today, we are going to measure you for your costumes. We are going to have a show at the end of the month. You are going to be stars." + +Anna was very excited. She wanted to have a costume and be a star. She lined up with the other children. The teacher came to her and said, "What is your name, dear?" + +"Anna," Anna said. + +"Anna, you are very pretty. Let me measure you. Stand still, please." The teacher wrapped the tape around Anna's chest, waist, and hips. She wrote down some numbers on a paper. She said, "You are a perfect fit, Anna. You are going to look beautiful in your costume. It is going to be blue, like your eyes." + +Anna smiled. She felt very happy. She thanked the teacher and went to the mirror. She imagined herself in a blue costume, dancing on a stage, with everyone clapping. She felt like a dancer. She felt like a star. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play together, but sometimes they fought. On Wednesday, they had no school. They were bored at home. Mom said they could go to the park, but they had to get ready first. + +Lily put on her pink dress and her shoes. She brushed her hair and teeth. She was fast and good. Ben was lazy. He did not want to get ready. He stayed in his pajamas and played with his cars. He did not brush his hair or teeth. He was slow and bad. + +Lily was angry at Ben. She wanted to go to the park. She went to his room and said, "Ben, hurry up! Mom is waiting for us. We have to go to the park. Stop being lazy!" + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He ignored her and kept playing with his cars. He did not want to go to the park. He liked his cars. He said, "Go away, Lily. I don't want to go to the park. I want to play with my cars. You are bossy!" + +Lily was more angry at Ben. She tried to take his cars away from him. Ben did not let her. He pushed her and said, "No, these are my cars. You can't have them. You are mean!" + +Lily pushed him back and said, "Yes, I can have them. You are selfish!" + +They started to fight. They pulled and kicked and scratched each other. They made a lot of noise. Mom heard them and came to their room. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you! What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting. They looked at Mom. They were scared. They said, "Sorry, Mom." + +Mom said, "You should not fight with each other. You should be nice and share. You should also get ready for the park. Ben, you have to change your clothes and brush your hair and teeth. Lily, you have to stop being bossy and let Ben play with his cars. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom." + +Mom said, "Good. Now, hug and say sorry to each other." + +Lily and Ben hugged and said sorry to each other. They felt better. They did what Mom said. They got ready for the park. They went to the park with Mom. They played and had fun. They did not fight anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Tom are twins. They share a room. Mom says they have to clean their room before they can play. Lily and Tom do not like to clean. They like to play with their toys and books. + +Lily picks up a doll and says, "This is my doll. She is pretty. I want to play with her." Tom picks up a car and says, "This is my car. It is fast. I want to play with it." They put the doll and the car on their bed and stare at them. + +Mom comes in and sees the mess. She says, "Lily and Tom, you have to clean your room. Put your toys and books in the box. Then you can play with them." Lily and Tom say, "But we want to play now. Cleaning is boring." Mom says, "No, you have to clean first. It is not fair to leave your room dirty. It is your responsibility." + +Lily and Tom sigh. They do not want to make Mom angry. They start to put their toys and books in the box. It takes a long time. They wish they could play. They look at each other and say, "Cleaning is hard." + +Mom comes back and sees the clean room. She says, "Good job, Lily and Tom. You cleaned your room very well. I am proud of you. Now you can play with your toys and books." Lily and Tom smile. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We are sorry we were lazy. We learned our lesson." They hug Mom and then play with their doll and car. They are happy. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and shapes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. One day, he found a new car in his toy box. It was shiny and silver, and it looked like a real car. Tom was very happy and wanted to play with it. + +But when he picked up the car, he felt something sharp and cold. It was a metal pin that was sticking out of the car. It hurt Tom's hand and made him bleed. Tom dropped the car and cried. He was fearful and angry. He did not like the new car. He did not want to play with it anymore. + +Tom's mom heard him cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the blood on his hand and the metal pin on the car. She was sorry and hugged Tom. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. This car is broken. It is not a good toy. It is dangerous. I will throw it away and get you a new one. A better one. A safe one." + +She took the car and the pin and put them in the trash. She cleaned Tom's hand and put a band-aid on it. She gave him a kiss and a cookie. She said, "Don't be sad, Tom. You have many other cars to play with. And I love you very much." + +Tom smiled and thanked his mom. He felt better and less fearful. He picked up another car, a red one, and made it zoom on the floor. He did not frown anymore. He was happy and playful. He liked his other cars. He loved his mom. +Ben was bored. He did not want to play with his toys. He did not want to read his books. He did not want to watch TV. He looked out the window. It was gloomy. The sky was gray. The rain was falling. He could not go outside. + +He sighed. He lay on his bed. He put his finger in his nose. He felt something. He tried to pick it out. It was sticky and hard. He pulled it out. He looked at it. He smiled. It was a big booger. + +He heard a knock on his door. It was his mom. She opened the door. She saw Ben and his booger. She frowned. She said, "Ben, what are you doing? That is gross. You should not pick your nose. You should use a tissue. And you should wash your hands." + +Ben shrugged. He said, "I was bored. There is nothing to do. It is gloomy outside." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I know, honey. But picking your nose is not a good way to have fun. How about we do something else? We can bake some cookies. We can play a game. We can draw some pictures. We can make some music. What do you think?" + +Ben thought. He said, "Okay, mom. That sounds better. Can I keep my booger?" + +Mom shook her head. She said, "No, Ben. You have to throw it away. And wash your hands. Come on, let's go to the kitchen." + +Ben nodded. He threw his booger in the trash. He washed his hands. He followed his mom. He felt happier. He forgot about the gloomy day. He was ready to have some fun. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a small doll with a pink dress and yellow hair. She named her doll Rose and took her everywhere. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought Rose with her and put her in her pocket. She played on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. She had a lot of fun, but she did not notice that Rose fell out of her pocket. + +When it was time to go home, Lily was very tired. She got in the car and reached for Rose, but she could not find her. She looked in her pocket, but it was empty. She felt sad and scared. She started to cry and told her mom and dad that she lost Rose. + +Her mom and dad hugged her and tried to calm her down. They told her that they would go back to the park and look for Rose. They also told her that she should be more careful with her toys and not forget them. + +They drove back to the park and searched for Rose. They asked other people if they had seen a small doll with a pink dress and yellow hair. They looked under the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They were about to give up, when they saw a boy holding Rose. He was smiling and playing with her. + +Lily ran to the boy and asked him to give her back Rose. She said that Rose was her toy and that she loved her very much. The boy looked at Lily and saw that she was crying. He felt sorry for her and gave her back Rose. He said that he was sorry and that he did not know that Rose belonged to her. He said that he found Rose on the ground and thought that she was a gift. + +Lily thanked the boy and hugged Rose. She was very happy to have her back. She also said that she was sorry for being rude and that she would share her toys with him if he wanted. The boy smiled and said that he would like that. He said that he did not have many toys and that he liked Rose. + +Lily and the boy became friends and played together for a while. They shared their toys and had fun. Lily's mom and dad watched them and smiled. They were proud of Lily for being kind and generous. They also reminded her to always check her pocket before leaving.

They liked to play catch very much. + +But then, they heard a loud alarm. It came from a big red truck. The truck had a long ladder and a hose. It was a fire truck. The fire truck was going to a house that had smoke and fire. + +Lily and Tom stopped playing catch. They ran to see the fire truck. They wanted to see the fire and the firemen. They thought it was exciting. + +But they did not see the sign. The sign said "Keep Out". The sign was for the people who were not firemen. The sign was to keep them safe. + +Lily and Tom crossed the sign. They went too close to the fire. They did not know it was dangerous. + +A fireman saw them. He shouted at them. He said "Hey, you two! Get away from there! It's not a game! It's a fire!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not like the fireman's voice. They did not like the fire. They ran back to the park. + +They felt ashamed. They knew they did a bad thing. They broke the rule. They put themselves in trouble. + +They said sorry to the fireman. They said sorry to each other. They learned their lesson. + +They decided to play catch again. But this time, they stayed away from the fire. They stayed away from the alarm. They stayed away from the sign. They stayed safe. +Anna was sick. She had a bad cough and a fever. She felt very hot and tired. Her mom took her to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He checked Anna's ears, nose and throat. He said she had a cold and gave her some medicine. + +"Anna, you need to take this medicine three times a day. It will help you feel better. It is harmless. It will not hurt you," the doctor said. + +Anna looked at the medicine. It was a red liquid in a small bottle. She did not like it. It smelled funny and tasted bitter. She did not want to take it. + +"Mom, I don't like the medicine. It is yucky. I don't want to take it," Anna said. + +Her mom hugged her and smiled. She said, "I know, honey. The medicine is not yummy. But it is good for you. It will make your cough and fever go away. You have to trust the doctor. He knows what is best for you. He wants you to get well soon. Can you be brave and take the medicine for me?" + +Anna looked at her mom. She loved her mom. She wanted to make her mom happy. She wanted to get well soon. She nodded her head. She said, "Okay, mom. I will take the medicine. I will trust the doctor. I will be brave." + +Her mom gave her a spoonful of the medicine. Anna closed her eyes and swallowed it. She made a face. It was yucky. But she did not cry. She said, "I did it, mom. I took the medicine." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "Good girl, Anna. I am proud of you. You are very brave. The medicine will help you feel better. You will be fine soon." + +Anna smiled. She felt a little better. She said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, doctor. I love you." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their wagon. They fill it with toys, rocks, leaves and flowers. They pull it around the yard and pretend they are going on adventures. + +One day, they see a big truck on the street. It is making loud noises and moving dirt. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see what the truck is doing. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Anna says. "We can take our wagon and see the truck." + +Ben shakes his head. "No, Anna. Mama said we have to stay in the yard. The truck is busy. It might be dangerous." + +Anna insists. "Please, Ben. Just for a little bit. We can be careful. The truck is so cool. I want to see it up close." + +Ben does not want to make Anna sad. He likes to make her happy. He agrees to go with her. They grab their wagon and run to the street. They do not see Mama watching them from the window. + +The truck is bigger than they thought. It has a long arm and a big scoop. It is digging a hole in the ground. Anna and Ben are amazed. They want to touch the truck. They leave their wagon on the sidewalk and run towards it. + +"Hey, kids!" a man shouts. He is wearing a hard hat and a bright vest. He is the truck driver. He sees Anna and Ben running to his truck. He is worried. He honks his horn. "Stop! This is not a place to play. Go back to your yard. The truck is busy. It might hurt you." + +Anna and Ben are scared. They hear the horn and the man. They realize they made a mistake. They turn around and run back to their wagon. They are sorry. They do not want to bother the truck or the man. + +Mama is waiting for them on the sidewalk. She is angry and relieved. She hugs them and scolds them. "What were you thinking, Anna and Ben? You know you are not supposed to go to the street. The truck is busy. It might be dangerous. You could have been hurt. You have to listen to me. I love you and I want you to be safe." + +Anna and Ben are ashamed. They apologize to Mama. They also apologize to the truck driver. He smiles and waves. He is not mad. He is glad they are okay. He tells them to be careful and to enjoy their wagon. + +Anna and Ben promise to be good. They thank the truck driver. They take their wagon and go back to the yard. They decide to play something else. They do not want to see the truck anymore. They learned their lesson. They want to be safe and happy. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, it rains a lot. The rain makes a big flood. The flood covers the grass and the flowers. Lila and Tom are sad. + +They see a big tree. The tree has a rope. The rope has a ring. The ring is for swinging. Lila and Tom want to swing on the ring. They run to the tree. + +"Can I swing first?" Lila asks. + +"No, I want to swing first!" Tom says. + +They both pull the rope. They both want the ring. They are not nice to each other. + +The rope breaks. The ring falls in the flood. Lila and Tom are shocked. They look at the ring. The ring is gone. + +They feel sorry. They hug each other. + +"I'm sorry, Lila. I was not nice to you. You can swing first next time." Tom says. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I was not nice to you. You are my friend. I want to share with you." Lila says. + +They are happy again. They are independent. They do not need the ring to have fun. They find a stick and a ball. They play with the stick and the ball. They laugh and smile. They are good friends. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big dog with a rough coat and a long tail. The dog was friendly and wagged his tail. Tim and Lily wanted to pet the dog, but they did not know his name. + +"Hello, doggy," Tim said. "What is your name?" + +The dog did not answer. He just licked Tim's face and made him giggle. + +"Maybe he can't talk," Lily said. "Maybe he can whistle." + +Lily tried to whistle, but she could not. She only made a funny sound with her lips. Tim tried to whistle, too, but he also could not. He only blew air. + +The dog looked at them and tilted his head. Then he opened his mouth and whistled. It was a loud and clear whistle. Tim and Lily were amazed. + +"Wow, he can whistle!" Tim said. "He is a smart doggy!" + +"Maybe he can grant wishes, too," Lily said. "Like a fairy doggy." + +Lily closed her eyes and made a wish. She wished for a pink bike with a basket and a bell. Tim closed his eyes and made a wish, too. He wished for a red car with a horn and a steering wheel. + +They opened their eyes and looked around. They did not see their wishes. They only saw the dog, who whistled again and wagged his tail. + +"Maybe he needs more time," Lily said. "Or maybe he needs a treat." + +They looked in their pockets and found some crackers. They gave some to the dog, who ate them happily. He licked their hands and whistled again. + +"Thank you, doggy," Tim and Lily said. "You are a nice doggy. We hope you find your home." + +They hugged the dog and said goodbye. They went back to their slide, swing and run. They did not know that the dog was a magic dog, and that he had granted their wishes. He just needed to find the right place to leave them. He whistled one more time and ran away. He was looking for more children to make happy. +Lila was a bird who loved to fly. She liked to soar high in the sky and feel the wind on her feathers. She had a friend, Ben, who was also a bird. They liked to play together and explore new places. + +One day, they saw a big tree with many fruits. They flew towards it, hoping to find a tasty snack. But as they got closer, they heard a loud noise. It was a cat, hiding behind the tree. The cat jumped out and tried to catch them. Lila and Ben were scared and flew away as fast as they could. + +But the cat was fast too. It reached out with its paw and scratched Lila's wing. Lila felt a sharp pain and fell to the ground. She cried out, "Ben, help me! My wing is broken!" + +Ben heard her and turned back. He saw Lila on the ground, with the cat coming closer. He was brave and flew towards the cat. He pecked its nose and made it run away. He then landed next to Lila and said, "Don't worry, Lila. I'm here. We'll get you to a safe place." + +He helped her get up and put his wing around her. They walked slowly to a nearby bush, where they could hide. Lila thanked him and said, "You're a good friend, Ben. You saved me from the cat." + +Ben smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lila. You're a good friend too. We'll stay here until you feel better. Then we'll finish our adventure." + +They cuddled together and felt happy. They knew they had each other, and that was the most important thing. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. But Sara is selfish. She does not like to share her toys with Ben. She puts them in a big box and locks it with a key. She says, "These are my toys. You can not play with them." + +Ben is sad. He wants to play with Sara and her toys. He tries to find the key, but he can not. He asks Sara, "Please, can I play with you? Can I have some toys?" Sara says, "No, go away. These are my toys. You have your own toys." + +Ben does not have many toys. He only has a ball and a teddy bear. He plays with them, but he is bored. He thinks, "Sara is not nice. She is selfish. She does not care about me. I wish I had more toys." + +One day, Mom and Dad take Sara and Ben to the store. They say, "You can each choose one toy. But you have to share it with your brother or sister." Sara sees a doll. She likes the doll. She says, "I want this doll. It is mine." Ben sees a car. He likes the car. He says, "I want this car. It is mine." + +Mom and Dad buy the doll and the car. They give them to Sara and Ben. They say, "Remember, you have to share. You can not be selfish." Sara and Ben nod, but they do not listen. They run to their room and hide their toys. They say, "This is my toy. You can not play with it." + +But Mom and Dad are smart. They have a plan. They go to Sara and Ben's room. They say, "We have a surprise for you. We bought you a cell. A cell is a small box with a door and a window. You can put your toys in the cell and lock it. Then no one can take them." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They think, "A cell is better than a box. We can put our toys in the cell and keep them safe. We do not have to share them." They take their toys and put them in the cell. They lock the door and look through the window. They say, "These are our toys. We are happy." + +But Mom and Dad are not happy. They say, "Now you have to stay in the cell with your toys. You can not come out. You can not play with us. You can not play with each other. You can only play with your toys. That is what you wanted, right?" + +Sara and Ben are shocked. They say, "No, we do not want to stay in the cell. We want to come out. We want to play with you. We want to play with each other. We are sorry. We were selfish. We will share our toys. Please, let us out." + +Mom and Dad smile. They say, "We are glad you learned your lesson. We will let you out, but only if you promise to share your toys and be nice to each other. Do you promise?" Sara and Ben say, "Yes, we promise. We love you. We love each other. We will share our toys." + +Mom and Dad open the door and hug Sara and Ben. They say, "We love you too. We are proud of you. You are not selfish anymore. You are generous and kind. Now you can play with your toys and have fun. But remember, sharing is caring." Sara and Ben say, "We will remember. Sharing is caring. Thank you, Mom and Dad." They take their toys and play together. They are happy. The end. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with blocks. They build houses and towers and cars with the blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +One day, they want to build a big square house. They need many blocks to make the square. They look for the blocks in the toy box. But they cannot find enough blocks. They only have a few square blocks and many round blocks. + +"Where are the square blocks?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe we used them all yesterday," Anna says. + +"No, we didn't. I remember we put them back in the toy box. Maybe someone took them," Tom says. + +"Who would take our blocks?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe it was Max. He is a bad boy. He always takes our toys and breaks them," Tom says. + +"Let's go and see if he has our blocks," Anna says. + +They go to Max's house. They knock on the door. Max's mom opens the door. She is nice and friendly. + +"Hello, Tom and Anna. What can I do for you?" she asks. + +"Hello, Max's mom. We are looking for our square blocks. We think Max took them. Can we see Max, please?" Tom says. + +"Sure, you can see Max. But he didn't take your blocks. He is a good boy. He is obedient. He always asks before he borrows anything. Come in, I'll show you," Max's mom says. + +She leads them to Max's room. They see Max playing with his own blocks. He has many blocks of different colors and shapes. He is building a big round house. + +"Hi, Tom and Anna. Do you want to play with me?" Max says. + +"Hi, Max. No, we don't want to play with you. We want our square blocks. Did you take them?" Tom says. + +"No, I didn't take them. These are my blocks. See, they have my name on them. I like round blocks. They are fun. You can roll them and spin them and make circles with them. Why do you want square blocks? They are boring. You can only stack them and make corners with them," Max says. + +"We want square blocks because we want to build a square house. We like square blocks. They are neat and strong and make good walls and roofs. Round blocks are silly. They don't fit together and they fall down and make a mess," Anna says. + +They start to argue. They say mean things to each other. They don't listen to each other. They don't share their blocks. They are not friends anymore. + +Max's mom hears them. She comes to Max's room. She is not happy. + +"Stop it, children. Stop fighting. Stop yelling. Stop being rude. You are hurting each other's feelings. You are not being nice. You are not being obedient. You need to apologize and make up. You need to respect each other's preferences and play together. You need to learn to use different blocks and build different things. You can have fun with both square blocks and round blocks. They are both good. They are both toys. They are both for playing," Max's mom says. + +She makes them say sorry to each other. She makes them hug and shake hands. She makes them smile and laugh. She makes them play together. She gives them some cookies and milk. She helps them find some square blocks in the toy box. She helps them build a square house and a round house. She tells them they are both beautiful and creative. She tells them they are both good and obedient. She tells them they are both friends. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big rubber ball in the garage. It is red and shiny. + +"Wow, look at this ball!" Sam says. "It is so big and round!" + +"Can we play with it?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, let's go to the park!" Sam says. They take the ball and run to the park. + +At the park, they see a big slide. Sam has an idea. + +"Let's wrap the ball with this rope!" he says. He finds a rope on the ground. He wraps the rope around the ball. He makes a knot. + +"Now we have a strong ball!" he says. "We can swing it and throw it!" + +They take the ball to the slide. Sam climbs up the slide. He holds the rope. Ben waits at the bottom. + +"Ready, Ben?" Sam shouts. + +"Ready, Sam!" Ben shouts back. + +Sam swings the ball and lets it go. The ball flies in the air. It lands near Ben. + +"Wow, that was fun!" Ben says. He picks up the ball. He climbs up the slide. He swings the ball and lets it go. The ball flies in the air. It lands near Sam. + +They take turns swinging and throwing the ball. They laugh and have fun. They love their big rubber ball. +Tom and Lily wanted to play outside, but it was very cold. Their mom said they had to wear coats and hats and gloves. Tom and Lily did not like that. They wanted to wear their costumes and pretend to be superheroes. + +"No, no, no!" they said. "We are not cold. We are strong and brave. We can resist the cold." + +Their mom shook her head. "You are silly. You will get sick if you go out like that. Come on, let me help you get dressed." + +Tom and Lily ran away from their mom. They ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. Their mom had locked it to keep them safe. + +"Let us out, let us out!" they shouted. "We want to play outside. We want to be superheroes." + +Their mom came to the door. She had a smile on her face. She had a surprise for them. + +"Okay, okay," she said. "You can play outside. But first, look what I have for you." + +She opened the door and showed them two big boxes. Inside the boxes were costumes. But not any costumes. Superhero costumes. Coats and hats and gloves that looked like capes and masks and boots. + +Tom and Lily gasped. They were so happy. They forgot about the cold. They put on their costumes and thanked their mom. + +"Wow, mom, you are the best!" they said. "You are a superhero too." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "You are welcome, my little heroes. Now go and have fun. But remember, don't stay out too long. It is still cold outside." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They ran outside and played. They pretended to fly and fight and save the world. They had so much fun. They did not feel the cold. They felt warm and happy. They felt like superheroes. +Lily and Max love to go to the beach with Mom and Dad. They like to play in the sand, make castles, and look for shells. Sometimes they go in the water, but only when it is not too cold or too big. + +One day, they went to the beach when it was very sunny and hot. Mom and Dad told them to put on sun cream and hats, and to drink lots of water. Lily and Max did not want to do that. They wanted to play right away. They ran to the sand and started to dig and build. + +After a while, Lily felt something on her skin. It was harsh and red. It hurt a lot. She cried and ran to Mom. Mom looked at her and said, "Oh, Lily, you have a sunburn. You did not put on sun cream, did you?" Lily shook her head. She was sorry. Mom put some cool cream on her skin and gave her a hug. She said, "Next time, you have to listen to me and put on sun cream. It will remind you of how to be safe at the beach." Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. + +Max saw Lily crying and felt bad. He also felt something on his skin. It was harsh and red too. He also had a sunburn. He did not put on sun cream either. He walked to Dad and said, "Dad, I have a sunburn. It hurts." Dad looked at him and said, "Oh, Max, you have a sunburn too. You did not put on sun cream, did you?" Max shook his head. He was sorry too. Dad put some cool cream on his skin and gave him a hug. He said, "Next time, you have to listen to me and put on sun cream. It will remind you of how to be safe at the beach." Max nodded. He learned his lesson too. + +Lily and Max sat under the umbrella with Mom and Dad. They drank some water and ate some snacks. They felt better. They still liked the beach, but they knew they had to be careful. They said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, for taking care of us. We will put on sun cream next time. It will remind us of how to be safe at the beach." Mom and Dad smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily and Max. We love you. And we love the beach too." They all hugged and enjoyed the rest of the day. +Sara and Ben want to take their dog Spot for a walk. They look for his leash in the house, but they cannot find it. They search in the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom, but the leash is not there. + +"Where is Spot's leash?" Sara asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is in the garage," Ben says. + +They go to the garage and open the door. They see Spot sitting on a pile of boxes, with his long leash wrapped around him. He looks happy and wags his tail. + +"Spot, you silly dog! You have the leash!" Sara says. + +She and Ben laugh and untangle the leash from Spot. They put it on his collar and take him for a walk. Spot runs and jumps and barks. He likes his long leash. Sara and Ben like their dog. They have fun together. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see some red things on a green plant. They are strawberries! + +"Look, Ben, strawberries!" Anna says. "They look yummy. Can we eat them?" + +"I don't know, Anna. Maybe they are not clean. Maybe they have bugs or dirt on them. We should ask Mom first," Ben says. + +But Anna is hungry. She does not want to wait. She picks a big strawberry and puts it in her mouth. She does not wash it first. + +"Anna, no! That is not good. You should wash it first. Mom always says we should wash our food before we eat it," Ben says. + +But Anna does not listen. She eats the strawberry. It is sweet and juicy. She smiles. She picks another one and eats it too. + +"Anna, stop! You are being naughty. You are not sharing. And you are not being careful. What if you get sick?" Ben says. + +But Anna does not care. She eats more and more strawberries. She does not share with Ben. She does not go to Mom. She is greedy and rude. + +Soon, Anna feels bad. Her tummy hurts. She feels sick. She wants to cry. She is sorry. + +"Ben, I don't feel good. I ate too many strawberries. And I did not wash them. And I did not share with you. I am sorry. Can you help me?" Anna says. + +Ben is sad. He is angry. But he is also kind. He goes to Mom. He tells her what happened. Mom is worried. She goes to Anna. She gives her some water. She hugs her. She says she will be okay. + +"Anna, you made a mistake. You should not eat food that is not clean. You should not eat too much. You should not be greedy. You should share with your friends. You should listen to Mom and Ben. They love you and want you to be healthy and happy. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Anna nods. She is ashamed. She says she is sorry. She says she will not do it again. She says she loves Mom and Ben. She says she will be a good girl. + +Mom smiles. She kisses her. She says she forgives her. She says she loves her too. She says she will make her some soup. She says they can have some clean strawberries later. But only a few. And they will share with Ben. + +Anna smiles. She feels better. She hugs Mom. She hugs Ben. She says thank you. She says she learned her lesson. She says she will be a good friend. + +The end. +Anna is a daughter. She is three years old. She likes to play with her toys. But sometimes she is naughty. She does not listen to her mom and dad. + +One day, Anna wants a cookie. She sees a jar of cookies on the kitchen table. She thinks, "I want a cookie. I will take one." She climbs on a chair and reaches for the jar. But the jar is too heavy. It falls on the floor and breaks. Cookies and glass are everywhere. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess and Anna. She is angry and sad. She says, "Anna, what did you do? You are naughty. You could have hurt yourself. You did not ask for a cookie. You have to say sorry and help me clean up." + +Anna feels bad. She knows she did wrong. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I want a cookie. But I should have asked you. I will help you clean up." She hugs her mom and picks up the cookies. + +Mom hugs her back and says, "I love you, Anna. But you have to be good. You have to listen to me and dad. And you have to wait for snack time. Then you can have a cookie." She gives her a broom and a dustpan. They clean up the glass and the cookies together. +Anna liked to help her dad in the garden. She had her own tool, a small shovel, that she used to dig holes for the seeds. One day, her dad gave her a big surprise. He had bought her a new tool, a watering can, that she could use to water the plants. + +"Thank you, dad!" Anna said, hugging the watering can. She was very grateful for the gift. She wanted to try it right away. + +"Wait, Anna," her dad said. "You have to be careful with the watering can. It is heavy when it is full of water. You have to hold it with both hands and not spill it on yourself or the ground." + +"I can do it, dad," Anna said. She was confident that she could manage the new tool. She filled it up with water from the hose and carried it to the garden. + +She watered the first plant, then the second, then the third. She was doing a good job. She felt proud of herself. But then, she saw a butterfly. It was yellow and blue and very pretty. Anna wanted to see it closer. She forgot about the watering can and let go of one hand. The watering can tipped over and spilled water all over Anna and the ground. + +Anna gasped. She was wet and cold. The water had soaked her clothes and shoes. She looked at her dad. He was not angry, but he was smiling. + +"Oops, Anna," he said. "What happened?" + +"I saw a butterfly, dad," Anna said. She felt silly and embarrassed. She had not been careful with the watering can. + +"It's okay, Anna," her dad said. He hugged her and dried her with a towel. "Butterflies are beautiful, but you have to pay attention to what you are doing. Next time, you can put the watering can down and then look at the butterfly. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, dad," Anna said. She nodded. She had learned a lesson. She still liked the watering can, but she knew she had to use it properly. She was grateful for her dad's help and love. +Lily and Ben were going on vacation with their mom and dad. They were very happy to see the big plane that would take them to the beach. They had never seen the sea before. + +"Look, Lily, there are clouds outside the window!" Ben said, pointing at the white fluffy shapes. + +"I want to touch them!" Lily said, reaching out her hand. + +"You can't touch them, silly. They are too far away," Ben said, laughing. + +Lily felt shy and sad. She did not like when Ben made fun of her. She wished she had a friend to play with. + +When they got to the beach, Lily saw a big blue sea that sparkled in the sun. She also saw a lot of kids running and splashing in the water. She wanted to join them, but she was too shy to say hello. + +Ben ran to the water and grabbed a toy that looked like a bottle. He squeezed it and it sprayed water everywhere. He laughed and sprayed some kids who sprayed him back. They all had fun. + +Lily watched from the sand. She wished she had a toy like that. She saw a girl who had one, but she was sitting alone. Lily walked over to her and smiled. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. Can I play with you?" she asked. + +The girl looked up and smiled back. "Hi, I'm Mia. Sure, you can play with me. Do you want to spray some water?" + +Lily nodded and took the toy. She squeezed it and it sprayed water. She felt happy and excited. She sprayed Mia and Mia sprayed her back. They laughed and became friends. + +Lily was not shy anymore. She had a friend to play with. She thanked the toy for helping her. She thought it was the best vacation ever. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play games. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box has a picture of a rocket on it. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. "It is a rocket game. We can send it to the moon." + +Mia is scared. She does not like rockets. She thinks they are loud and fast. She says, "No, Tom, I do not want to play this game. It is too scary. Let us play something else." + +Tom is brave. He likes rockets. He thinks they are fun and cool. He says, "Come on, Mia, do not be scared. It is just a game. We can pretend we are astronauts. It will be fun." + +He opens the box and takes out the rocket. It is made of plastic and has a button on it. He says, "Look, Mia, this is how we play. We put the rocket on the ground and press the button. Then the rocket will fly up to the sky. It will not hurt us. It will come back down." + +Mia is still scared. She does not want to press the button. She says, "No, Tom, I do not want to do it. You do it. I will watch." + +Tom says, "OK, Mia, I will do it. But you have to watch. Maybe you will like it." + +He puts the rocket on the ground and presses the button. The rocket makes a loud noise and shoots up to the sky. Tom and Mia watch it go up and up. They see it sparkle in the sun. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. "It is so high. It is like a star." + +Mia is surprised. She thinks the rocket is pretty. She says, "Wow, Tom, you are right. It is fun. It is like a star." + +They wait for the rocket to come back down. They see it fall and land on the grass. They run to get it. + +"Let us do it again!" Tom says. + +Mia says, "OK, Tom, let us do it again. But can I press the button this time?" + +Tom says, "Sure, Mia, you can press the button. You are brave." + +They play the rocket game again and again. They have fun. They send the rocket to the moon and back. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben are friends.

She says to Ben, "I want to go on the slide. Do you want to go with me?" + +Ben looks at the slide. He is scared. The slide is very high and fast. He says to Lily, "No, I don't want to go on the slide. It is too scary. I want to play with my car." + +Lily says, "OK, you can play with your car. But can I take your car with me on the slide? I will give it back to you when I come down." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes his car. He does not want to lose it. He says to Lily, "No, you can't take my car. It is my car. I own it. You can take your doll." + +Lily is sad. She does not want to take her doll. Her doll is too big and soft for the slide. She says to Ben, "But your car is small and hard. It will be fun to slide with it. Please, let me borrow it. I will be careful." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to share his car. He says to Lily, "No, no, no. You can't have my car. Go away." + +Lily is angry. She does not like Ben anymore. She makes a mean face at him. She says to Ben, "Fine. I don't want your car. I don't want to play with you. You are not my friend." + +Lily runs away to the slide. She takes her doll with her. She goes on the slide. She has fun. She is happy. + +Ben stays with his car. He plays with his car. He is bored. He is lonely. He looks at Lily. He sees her smile. He wants to smile too. He wants to play with her. He is sorry. + +He picks up his car. He runs to the slide. He sees Lily at the bottom.

He looks sorry. She feels sorry too. She says to Ben, "Ben, I am sorry too. I was angry. You can have your doll. You can play with it. Yes, I want to go on the slide with you." + +Lily and Ben hug. They are friends again. They are ready to have fun. They go on the slide together. They laugh. They are happy. The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and read books. But they do not like to sleep in the dark. They are afraid of nightmares. + +One night, their mom says, "It is time for bed, Sara and Ben. Brush your teeth and put on your pajamas." + +Sara and Ben do what their mom says, but they are not happy. They say, "Mom, can we have a light on? We do not want to have nightmares." + +Mom says, "You do not need a light on. Nightmares are not real. They are just bad dreams. If you have a bad dream, you can wake up and hug your teddy bear. Or you can call me and I will come and hug you." + +Sara and Ben are not sure. They say, "But mom, nightmares are scary. They make us feel sad and scared. We do not like them." + +Mom says, "I know, my loves. But you are brave and strong. You can face your fears and sleep in the dark. You will see that nothing bad will happen. And you will have sweet dreams instead of nightmares." + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Okay, mom. We will try. But can you please give us a kiss and a hug?" + +Mom says, "Of course, my loves. I will give you a kiss and a hug. And I will be right next door if you need me. Good night, Sara and Ben. I love you." + +Mom kisses and hugs Sara and Ben. She tucks them in their beds and turns off the light. She says, "Sleep tight, my loves. And do not let the bedbugs bite." + +Sara and Ben cuddle with their teddy bears.

And they do not have nightmares. They have sweet dreams. And they are happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Max. Max is big and hairy. He likes to run and jump and bark. + +One day, they see a man with a camera. He is taking pictures of the flowers and the birds. He has a big frame on his camera. Lily and Ben are curious. They go near the man and observe what he is doing. + +"Hello, little ones," the man says. "Do you like my camera?" + +"Yes, it is nice," Lily says. "What is the frame for?" + +"The frame helps me see better," the man says. "It shows me what the picture will look like. Do you want to try?" + +"Yes, please," Ben says. The man lets them look through the frame. They see the park in a different way. They see the colors and the shapes and the details. + +"Wow, this is fun," Ben says. + +"Can you take a picture of us?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, why not?" the man says. He puts the frame on a tripod and sets a timer. He tells them to stand next to Max and smile. He joins them and puts his arm around them. + +"Say cheese," he says. + +"Cheese," they say. + +The camera flashes and makes a sound. The man takes the frame and shows them the picture. They see themselves and Max and the man. They look happy and friendly. + +"Thank you, mister," Lily says. + +"You're welcome, kids," the man says. "You have a nice dog and a nice smile. Keep observing the world and you will learn a lot." + +Lily and Ben hug the man and thank him again. They take the picture and run back to their mom. They show her the picture and tell her about the man and the frame. She smiles and says they made a new friend. They agree and say they had a fun day. +Lily liked to design things. She used paper, crayons, scissors and glue to make pictures, cards and toys. She had a lot of fun with her designs. She wanted to show them to her friend, Max. + +She called Max on the phone and asked him to come over. "I have something to show you, Max. It is very nice. You will like it," she said. + +Max said he would come soon. He liked Lily and her designs. He was curious to see what she had made. + +Lily waited for Max. She waited for a long time. She looked at the clock. It was getting late. She wondered where Max was. She felt sad and lonely. + +She decided to go outside and look for Max. She put on her coat and shoes and grabbed her designs. She walked down the street, hoping to see Max. + +She did not see Max. She saw a big dog. The dog saw her designs. The dog liked paper, crayons, scissors and glue. The dog ran towards Lily and barked. + +Lily was scared. She dropped her designs and ran away. The dog caught her designs and tore them apart. He chewed them and spat them out. He made a big mess. + +Lily cried. She had lost her designs and her friend. She did not know what to do. She wished Max was there. She wished the dog was gone. She wished she had never designed anything. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big gray cable on the ground. It looked like a snake. + +"Look, a snake!" Lily said. She pointed at the cable. + +Tom was not afraid. He ran to the cable and touched it. "It's not a snake, silly. It's a cable. It's for the lights." + +Lily was curious. She followed Tom and touched the cable too. It was cold and hard. She wondered what it did. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud shout. It was a man in a yellow hat. He was angry. + +"Hey, kids! Get away from that cable! It's dangerous! It can shock you!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the cable and ran back to the swings. They did not want to get hurt. + +The man in the yellow hat came to the cable and picked it up. He put it in a big truck. He drove away. + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They were glad they were safe. They decided to play with something else. They did not like the gray cable anymore. +Lily likes to polish her shoes. She has a soft cloth and a shiny tin of polish. She rubs the polish on her shoes and makes them clean and black. She likes to see her face in her shoes. + +Lily also likes to fasten her buckles. She has two shoes with buckles on them. She slides the metal part into the hole and snaps it shut. She likes to hear the click sound. She thinks buckles are fun and pretty. + +One day, Lily is going to a party.

They were scared and curious. + +"Let's go see the fire!" Tom said. + +"No, Tom, it's dangerous!" Sue said. "We should warn someone. Maybe there are people inside the house. They need help." + +But Tom did not listen to Sue. He ran towards the house. He wanted to get closer to the fire. He thought it was exciting. + +Sue followed Tom. She did not want him to get hurt. She shouted at him to stop. But he did not hear her. He was too busy looking at the fire. + +When they reached the house, they saw a man coming out of the door. He was holding a hose. He was trying to put out the fire. He looked angry and scared. He saw Tom and Sue. + +"Hey, you kids, get away from here!" he yelled. "This is not a place to play. This is a place to stay away from. The fire is ugly and hot. It can burn you and make you sick. Go back to the park and warn the other kids. And don't come back here!" + +Tom and Sue were shocked and ashamed. They realized they had done something wrong. They had not listened to Sue. They had not warned anyone. They had put themselves and others in danger. + +They ran back to the park. They told the other kids about the fire. They told them to stay away from the house. They said they were sorry for being foolish. They learned their lesson. They never went near the fire again. +Mia and Ben were playing outside at night. They liked to look at the stars and the moon. Sometimes they saw planes or satellites. But tonight they saw something different. It was a big ball of fire with a long tail. It was a comet! + +"Wow, look at that!" Mia said. "It's so bright and fast!" + +"What is it?" Ben asked. "Is it a star?" + +"No, it's a comet," Mia said. "It's a rock that flies in the sky. Sometimes it comes close to the earth. It's very rare and special." + +"Can we catch it?" Ben asked. + +"No, silly, it's too far and too hot," Mia said. "But we can make a wish on it. Maybe it will come true." + +"Okay, let's do that," Ben said. They closed their eyes and wished hard. + +Mia wished for a new bike. She wanted to ride faster and farther. Ben wished for a puppy. He wanted a friend to play with and cuddle. + +They opened their eyes and smiled at each other. They felt happy and hopeful. + +But then they heard a loud laugh. It was Tom, the big boy who lived next door. He had seen them from his window. + +"Ha ha, look at those babies!" Tom said. "They think they can catch a comet! How stupid!" + +Mia and Ben felt embarrassed. They did not like Tom. He was mean and rude. He always teased them and made fun of them. + +"Go away, Tom!" Mia said. "You don't know anything. Comets are amazing and beautiful. And we can wish on them if we want to." + +"Yeah, go away, Tom!" Ben said. "You're just jealous. You don't have any wishes. You're just a bully." + +Tom snorted and rolled his eyes. He did not care what they said. He thought he was smarter and cooler than them. He turned around and walked back to his house. + +Mia and Ben hugged each other. They did not let Tom ruin their night. They looked at the comet again. It was still shining in the sky. It seemed to wink at them. + +They felt a warm glow in their hearts. They knew their wishes would come true. They knew the comet was leading them to their dreams. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over them. Sara wants to play with the red car. Ben wants to play with the blue car. They both pull and tug on the cars. They make loud noises. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Sara and Ben fighting over the cars. She is not happy. She says, "Sara and Ben, you need to share. You have many toys and books. You can take turns with the cars. Or you can play with something else. Fighting is not nice." + +Sara and Ben stop pulling and tugging. They look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We will share. We will not fight." Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I'm glad you are sorry. You are good twins. You can hug and make up." + +Sara and Ben hug each other. They say, "Sorry, Sara. Sorry, Ben. We love you." They feel happy. They put the cars away. They choose another toy to play with.

What do you want for dessert?" Sara and Ben say, "Ice cream!" Mom says, "OK, ice cream it is. But first, you have to eat your vegetables." Sara and Ben say, "OK, Mom. We will eat our vegetables. We like vegetables. And we like ice cream. And we like you." They hug Mom. Mom hugs them back. They are a happy family. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to jump on the grass and on the swings. They also like to tap on the drums and on the bells. They make fun sounds. + +One day, they see a big cake on a table. The cake is for a party.

They say sorry to the lady. They go back to the park. They jump on the grass and on the swings. They tap on the drums and on the bells. They make fun sounds. + +They see a man with a cart. He has ice cream. He says, "Hello, kids. Do you want some ice cream? It is sweet and cold." Lily and Ben say yes. They get some ice cream. They lick it. It is sweet and cold. They are happy. They say thank you to the man. They go back to the park. They jump on the grass and on the swings. They tap on the drums and on the bells. They make fun sounds. + +The end. +Sara was a lonely woman. She lived in a small house with no friends or family. She worked at a big store, but no one talked to her there. She felt sad and bored every day. + +One day, Sara saw a flyer on a wall. It said, "Guess the number of jelly beans in the jar and win a prize!" Sara liked jelly beans. She thought, maybe this will make me happy. She went to the store where the flyer was. She saw a big jar full of jelly beans. She paid a coin and wrote a number on a paper. She hoped she guessed right. + +The next day, Sara got a phone call. It was a man from the store. He said, "You guessed the number of jelly beans in the jar! You won the prize!" Sara was surprised and happy. She asked, "What is the prize?" The man said, "The prize is a ticket to a fun park. You can go on rides and play games and eat cotton candy. And you can bring a friend with you!" + +Sara was very excited. She thanked the man and hung up the phone. She thought, who can I bring with me? She looked around her house. She had no friends or family. She felt lonely again. She wished she had someone to share her prize with. + +Then she had an idea. She remembered a woman who worked at the store with her. She was nice and smiled at Sara sometimes. She thought, maybe she would like to go with me. She picked up the phone and called the woman. She said, "Hi, this is Sara. I work with you at the store. I won a ticket to a fun park. Do you want to go with me?" The woman said, "Yes, I would love to go with you! That sounds like fun!" Sara was happy. She said, "Great, let's meet tomorrow at the store and go together!" The woman said, "OK, see you tomorrow!" + +Sara hung up the phone and smiled. She was not lonely anymore. She had a friend and a prize. She guessed right. +Tom and Anna like to play at the park. They like to swing, climb and run. But their favorite thing is to slide. They slide on the big slide, the small slide and the twisty slide. + +One day, they meet a new friend at the park. His name is Ben. He has a red hat and a blue bike. He says hello to Tom and Anna and asks if he can play with them. + +"Sure, you can play with us," Tom says. "What do you like to do?" + +"I like to slide, too," Ben says. "But I only like the big slide. The other slides are too boring." + +Tom and Anna look at each other. They have a different opinion. They like all the slides. They think the small slide is fun and the twisty slide is exciting. + +"That's okay," Anna says. "You can slide on the big slide and we can slide on the other slides. We can take turns and share." + +Ben nods. He thinks that is a good idea. He is grateful that Tom and Anna are nice and friendly. He slides on the big slide and smiles. He likes his new friends. They slide and laugh together. They have a lot of fun at the park. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a new toy in their room. It was a charming robot that could talk and move. They were very happy and wanted to play with it. + +"Hello, I am Robo. I can be your friend and teach you many things," the robot said. + +"Wow, you are so cool! Can you teach us how to count and spell?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, I can. Let me show you," Robo said. He started to teach them how to count from one to ten and how to spell their names. + +Tom and Lily listened and learned. They had fun and gained new skills. They thanked Robo for his help. + +"You are very welcome. You are smart and kind," Robo said. + +But then, Tom had an idea. He wanted to keep Robo for himself. He did not want to share him with Lily. + +"Robo, you are my toy. Lily can't play with you anymore. Go to my bed and stay there," Tom said. + +He grabbed Robo and ran to his bed. He put Robo under his pillow and told him to be quiet. + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not understand why Tom was so mean. She liked Robo too. She wanted to play and learn with him. + +"Tom, that is not fair. Robo is our toy. We have to share him. Give him back to me," Lily said. + +She went to Tom's bed and tried to take Robo. But Tom pushed her away and shouted. + +"No, he is mine. Go away. You can't have him," Tom said. + +They started to fight and pull Robo. Robo was scared and hurt. He did not like to be treated like that. He wished they would stop. + +"Please, Tom and Lily, don't fight. You are hurting me and each other. You are not being good friends. Sharing is caring. If you share me, you will both be happy and have more fun," Robo said. + +Tom and Lily heard Robo's voice. They felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they were wrong. They let go of Robo and hugged him. + +"We are sorry, Robo. We are sorry, Lily. We are sorry, Tom. We were selfish and rude. We love you, Robo. We love you, Lily. We love you, Tom. We will share you and be good friends," they said. + +They smiled and kissed Robo. Robo smiled and kissed them back. + +"I am glad you are happy and friends again. I love you, Tom. I love you, Lily.

They also learned to share and care. They were happy and grateful. They never fought over Robo again. +Anna was very sleepy. She had played all day with her pet cat, Mimi. Mimi was a purple cat with white spots. Anna loved Mimi very much. She gave her milk and fish and cuddled her. + +"Come on, Mimi, let's go to bed," Anna said. She picked up Mimi and carried her to her room. She put Mimi on her pillow and climbed under the blanket. She hugged Mimi and kissed her goodnight. + +Mimi purred and licked Anna's face. She was happy to sleep with Anna. She closed her eyes and snuggled closer to Anna. She felt warm and cozy. + +Anna yawned and closed her eyes too. She felt Mimi's soft fur and heard her purr. She smiled and whispered, "I love you, Mimi. You are my best friend." + +Mimi meowed and whispered back, "I love you too, Anna. You are my best friend." + +They both fell asleep, dreaming of more fun and adventures together. +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big pile of leaves and sticks. They wanted to make a fire with them. + +"Let's burn the leaves and sticks," Tom said. "It will be fun and warm." + +"OK, but we have to be careful," Mia said. "Fire can hurt us and the plants." + +They took some matches from the kitchen and went to the pile. Tom lit a match and threw it on the leaves. Soon, the pile was burning with orange flames and black smoke. + +"Wow, look at the fire!" Tom said. "It's so bright and loud." + +Mia nodded, but she felt scared. She saw something in the smoke. It looked like a white face with big eyes and a mouth. It was a ghost! + +"Tom, Tom, there's a ghost in the fire!" Mia shouted. "It's coming to get us!" + +Tom looked at the fire and saw the ghost too. He felt scared too. He grabbed Mia's hand and ran away from the pile. + +"Help, help, there's a ghost in the fire!" they screamed. + +Their mom heard them and came out of the house. She saw the fire and the smoke and the ghost. She was not scared. She knew what it was. + +"Tom, Mia, stop screaming," she said. "That's not a ghost. That's an ordinary plastic bag. It flew into the fire and melted. It's not dangerous, but it's not good for the air." + +She took a bucket of water and poured it on the fire. The fire went out and the smoke and the ghost disappeared. + +"Sorry, mom," Tom and Mia said. "We didn't know it was a plastic bag. We thought it was a ghost." + +"It's OK, but don't play with fire again," mom said. "Fire can be useful, but it can also be harmful. And don't take matches from the kitchen. They are not toys. They are tools for grown-ups." + +Tom and Mia nodded. They hugged mom and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never burned leaves and sticks again. And they never saw a ghost again. +Tom and Mia like to play hide and seek. They take turns to hide and seek in the big house. Tom is good at hiding. He can find small places to hide, like under the bed or behind the curtain. Mia is good at seeking. She can look and listen for clues, like a noise or a shadow. + +One day, they play hide and seek in the big hall. The hall has many doors and windows. Tom hides behind a big door. He thinks Mia will not find him there. He waits and waits. He hears Mia's footsteps. He hears Mia's voice. She says, "Where are you, Tom? I will find you!" + +Mia looks around the hall. She sees many doors and windows. She opens some doors and looks inside. She does not see Tom. She closes the doors and goes to the next one. She opens the door and sees a big exit sign. She thinks, "Maybe Tom is outside. I will go and see." + +She walks to the exit and pushes the door. The door opens and she sees a big garden. She sees flowers and trees and birds. She does not see Tom. She thinks, "Tom is not here. He is still in the hall. I will go back and find him." + +She turns around and walks to the door. But the door is closed. She tries to open it, but it is locked. She says, "Oh no! I am stuck outside. How will I get back in?" + +She looks for another door or window, but she does not see any. She starts to cry. She says, "Help! Help! I want to go back in!" + +Tom hears Mia's cry. He is still behind the big door. He thinks, "Mia is in trouble. I have to help her." He comes out from behind the door and runs to the exit. He sees Mia outside. He sees the locked door. He says, "Mia, don't cry. I am here. I will help you." + +He looks for a key or a button, but he does not see any. He thinks, "How will I open the door?" He sees a big window next to the door. He says, "Mia, look! A window! Maybe we can open it." + +He goes to the window and tries to open it. It is hard, but he pushes and pushes. The window opens a little bit. He says, "Mia, come here! The window is open. We can go through it." + +Mia stops crying and goes to the window. She sees the window is open. She says, "Tom, you are smart. You found a way out." She climbs through the window and goes back to the hall. Tom follows her. They are happy. They hug each other. They say, "We did it! We are back in!" + +They hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "Tom, Mia, where are you? It is time for lunch." They are alert. They say, "We are here, Mom. We are coming." They run to Mom and tell her their story. Mom is surprised. She says, "You are brave and clever. But next time, be careful. Don't go to the exit alone. Stay in the hall." They say, "OK, Mom. We will." They go to lunch and eat and talk. They are happy. They like to play hide and seek. But they also like to be safe. +Sara and Ali were lost in the big sand. They walked and walked, but they could not find their home. They were very thirsty and hungry. They saw only sand and sky. + +"Ali, I am scared," Sara said. "Will we ever find water and food?" + +Ali hugged his sister. "Don't be scared, Sara. We have to be brave. Maybe we can find an oasis. An oasis is a place with water and plants and animals in the big sand. We can pray to God to help us find an oasis." + +They closed their eyes and prayed. They asked God to show them the way to an oasis. They opened their eyes and looked around. They saw something shiny and green in the distance. + +"Look, Sara, look!" Ali shouted. "I think that is an oasis! Let's go there!" + +They ran towards the shiny and green place. As they got closer, they heard water and birds and frogs. They smelled flowers and fruits. They saw palm trees and grass and a pond. + +They reached the oasis and drank from the pond. They ate some dates and figs from the trees. They played with the lively animals. They thanked God for answering their prayers. + +They were happy and safe in the oasis. They hoped that someone would find them and take them home. But for now, they enjoyed the oasis. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a big cup of coffee on the table. It is hot and smells good. + +"Let's try some coffee!" Max says. He climbs on a chair and reaches for the cup. + +"No, Max, don't!" Lily says. "Mommy said coffee is not for kids. It can make you sick." + +But Max does not listen. He grabs the cup and spills some coffee on his hand. He screams and drops the cup. It falls on the floor and breaks into many pieces. + +Mommy hears the noise and runs to the living room. She sees the mess and the broken cup. She is angry and worried. + +"Max, Lily, what did you do?" Mommy says. "You could have burned yourself or cut yourself with the glass. Coffee is not a toy. It is for grown-ups only." + +She takes Max to the sink and washes his hand. She puts a band-aid on it and gives him a hug. She tells Lily to stay away from the glass and get a broom. She helps her clean up the floor. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy," Max says. "I wanted to try the coffee. It looked yummy." + +"I know, Max, but coffee is not for you. It is too strong and bitter. You can have some juice or milk instead. And you have to be careful with hot things and breakable things. They can hurt you or make a mess. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mommy," Max says. "I understand. I won't touch the coffee again." + +"Good," Mommy says. "And you, Lily, thank you for trying to stop Max. You are a good sister. But next time, if you see something dangerous, call me right away. Don't try to handle it by yourself. OK?" + +"OK, Mommy," Lily says. "I'm sorry, too." + +Mommy smiles and hugs them both. She tells them she loves them and forgives them. She makes them some toast and jam for breakfast. They eat and talk and laugh. They forget about the coffee and the broken cup. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were animals. Ben was a wolf and Lily was a rabbit. They ran and chased each other, making noises. + +"Roar! I am a big, bad wolf! I will catch you and chew you!" Ben said. + +"Squeak! I am a fast, smart rabbit! You cannot catch me and chew me!" Lily said. + +They had fun, but they did not see the real wolf that was hiding behind the bushes. The wolf was hungry and saw the children as food. He waited for the right moment to attack. + +Suddenly, he jumped out and ran towards Ben and Lily. They were scared and screamed. The wolf was about to bite Ben, when a loud bark made him stop. It was Rex, the family dog. Rex was an ordinary dog, but he was brave and loyal. He ran to the wolf and bit his tail. The wolf yelped and ran away. + +Ben and Lily hugged Rex and thanked him. Rex wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy to protect them. They went inside and told their mom what happened. She was glad they were safe and gave them cookies and milk. Rex got a bone and a pat. They all learned a lesson: never play near the woods, and always love your dog. +Tom is a big boy who likes to help his dad. His dad works in an office with many books and papers. Sometimes, Tom goes to the office with his dad and plays with the toys in the corner. + +One day, Tom sees a red button on his dad's desk. He wonders what it does. He thinks it might make a funny sound or a light. He wants to press it and see. He looks at his dad, who is busy talking on the phone. He does not seem to notice Tom. + +Tom reaches for the button and pushes it hard. Suddenly, a loud alarm goes off in the office. It makes a scary noise and flashes a bright light. Tom is scared and starts to cry. His dad drops the phone and runs to Tom. He hugs him and tries to calm him down. + +"What did you do, Tom?" his dad asks. "Why did you press the button?" + +Tom sniffles and points at the button. "I wanted to see what it does," he says. + +His dad sighs and shakes his head. "That button is for emergencies, Tom. It tells the security people that something is wrong. You should never press it unless there is a real danger. Do you understand?" + +Tom nods and says he is sorry. His dad tells him it is okay, but he has to be more careful and alert in the office. He says he loves him and gives him a kiss. He picks up the phone and tells the security people that it was a mistake. He hopes they are not too angry. He smiles at Tom and says they can go home soon. Tom feels better and hugs his dad. He decides he will not touch the button again. He will play with his toys and wait for his dad. He likes to help his dad, but he does not like the alarm. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with green fruits. Tom said, "Look, limes! I like limes. They are sour and juicy." + +Lily said, "Me too. Let's pick some limes and make juice. We can put them in a bowl and squeeze them." + +They climbed the tree and picked some limes. They put them in a bowl and took it to the kitchen. They asked Mom for help. Mom said, "Sure, I can help you make lime juice. But first, you need to wash the limes and cut them in half." + +Mom washed the limes and cut them in half. She gave Tom and Lily a fork each. She said, "Now, you can poke the limes with the fork and squeeze them over a cup. Be careful not to get the juice in your eyes. It will sting." + +Tom and Lily poked the limes and squeezed them over a cup. They filled the cup with lime juice. They added some water and sugar to make it sweet. They stirred it with a spoon. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We made lime juice. Can we drink it now?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can drink it now. But first, let me taste it. Mmm, it is very good. You are very clever. You made rich lime juice. Rich means it has a lot of flavor and color. Do you want to share it with me?" + +Tom and Lily said, "Yes, Mom. We want to share it with you. We love you and we love lime juice." They gave Mom a hug and a kiss. They drank the lime juice together. They smiled and said, "Yum, yum, yum." +Lily liked to play with her shapes. She had a box with many shapes: round, square, star, and more. She liked to put them in the holes that matched them. She was good at it. + +One day, she saw a new shape on the floor. It was shiny and sharp. It looked like a star, but not like her star. She wanted to play with it. She picked it up and stared at it. It was pretty. + +She tried to put it in the star hole, but it did not fit. She tried to put it in the other holes, but it did not fit. She got angry. She threw the shape on the floor. It made a loud noise. + +Mommy heard the noise and came to see. She saw the shape on the floor. She saw blood on Lily's hand. She was scared. She ran to Lily and took her hand. She saw a cut on Lily's finger. She said, "Oh no, Lily, what did you do? This is not a shape. This is a knife. This is not for playing. This is dangerous. This can hurt you." + +She took Lily to the bathroom and washed her finger. She put a bandage on it. She said, "Lily, you have to be careful. You have to ask me before you touch something you don't know. You have to listen to me. I love you and I want you to be safe." + +Lily cried. She was sorry. She was hurt. She did not like the knife. She did not like the bandage. She did not like the blood. She wished she had played with her shapes. They were useful. They were fun. They did not hurt her. +Lily and Ben were young friends who liked to play in the garden. They had a big sunflower that they watered every day. The sunflower was tall and yellow and smiled at them. + +One day, they saw a bee buzzing around the sunflower. They wanted to see what the bee was doing, so they went closer. The bee saw them and flew away. + +"Where did the bee go?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe it went to find more flowers," Ben said. + +They looked around and saw many other flowers in the garden. They decided to follow the bee and see what it liked. + +They ran after the bee, but it was too fast. They lost sight of it and got lost in the garden. They did not know where the sunflower was. + +They felt scared and sad. They started to cry. + +"Where is our sunflower?" Lily sobbed. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "I want to go home." + +They hugged each other and frowned. + +Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice. + +"Lily! Ben! Where are you?" It was Lily's mom. She had come to look for them. + +They heard her footsteps and saw her coming through the bushes. They ran to her and hugged her. + +"Mommy, we're here!" Lily shouted. + +"Mommy, we got lost!" Ben said. + +Lily's mom smiled and wiped their tears. + +"It's okay, my darlings. I'm here now. You're not lost anymore." + +She took their hands and led them back to the sunflower. The sunflower was still there, smiling at them. + +They felt happy and relieved. They thanked the sunflower for being their friend. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and not wander too far from the sunflower. They learned to love and appreciate the sunflower more.

It was fun." + +"Can we go to the stadium too?" Tom says. + +"I don't know," Lily says. "We need tickets. And the stadium is far away.

Why don't you play with them?" + +Lily looked at her toys. They were old and boring. She didn't want to play with them. She wanted to play with the phone. She pouted and shook her head. "No. I don't like them. I like the phone. Please, mom. Please let me play with the phone." + +Her mom smiled and kissed her. "No, honey. I'm sorry. You can't play with the phone. But I have an idea. Why don't we make a pretend phone? We can use a cardboard box and some stickers and some string. We can make it look like a phone and talk to each other.

But sometimes they fought over who got to use the wardrobe first, or who had more space, or who made more mess. Then they would yell and cry and make a lot of noise. + +One day, their mom had an idea. She said, "Why don't we separate the wardrobe into two parts? Then you can each have your own side and choose your own clothes. And you can keep your toys in your own baskets.

They get angry and yell at each other. + +Mommy hears them and comes to the garage. She sees them fighting over the necklace. She says, "Stop it. What are you doing? This is not how you behave. You need to be honest and fair. The necklace is not yours. It is grandma's. She gave it to me. You can look at it, but you have to be careful and gentle. And you have to take turns." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mommy. We were not honest and fair. We were selfish and mean." Mommy says, "It is okay. I forgive you. But you have to apologize to each other and hug." Lily and Ben say, "We are sorry, brother/sister. We love you." They hug and smile. + +Mommy says, "That is better. Now you can play dress-up again.

They play dress-up and pretend to be different people. They have fun and laugh a lot. +Lily liked to help her mom with the mail.

Happy birthday! I hope you like this hat. It's made from real alpaca wool. It's very warm and cozy. Love, Sue." + +Her mom turned red and said, "Lily, you opened my birthday present! That was very rude. You should not open other people's mail. And you should not wear other people's hats. You embarrassed me in front of Aunt Sue. She heard you on the phone. How do you think she feels?" + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to be rude. She did not know it was her mom's birthday. She did not know what alpaca wool was. She just wanted to have fun. She took off the hat and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't do it again. Can I say sorry to Aunt Sue?" + +Her mom sighed and said, "Yes, you can. But first, you have to help me clean up this mess. And then, you have to give me a hug and a kiss. And then, you have to say happy birthday to me." + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, Mom. I love you. Happy birthday."

They are for looking, not for tasting". Sara says "Sorry, mom. I wanted to see if they were sweet or sour". Her mom says "They are neither. They are bitter. That means they have a bad taste.

It can make a lot of noise and spray water. Do you want to try it?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, please. That sounds fun. I like fire trucks. They are bright and brave. Just like you, uncle Ben." + +Uncle Ben hugs Tom and says, "I like you too, Tom. You are smart and kind. Just like your teddy bear." They go to the living room and play with the fire truck and the teddy bear. They have a lot of fun and laugh a lot. They forget about the rip and the fight. They are happy. They know that they are family and friends. +Lila and Ben are playing with their toy lasers. They like to make bright lights and sounds with them. They pretend they are space heroes and fight bad aliens. + +But then, Mom calls them for lunch. She says they have to finish playing and come to the table. Lila and Ben do not want to stop. They want to play more. + +They say, "One more minute, Mom. We have to save the planet." + +Mom says, "Okay, one more minute. But then you have to finish and put away your lasers. They are not safe to leave around. Someone could trip on them or break them." + +Lila and Ben nod. They run to the backyard and find a big box. They say, "This is our spaceship. We have to fly to the planet and blast the aliens with our lasers." + +They climb into the box and make flying noises. They point their lasers at the trees and the fence and say, "Pew pew pew! Take that, aliens!" + +They have fun, but they also watch the clock. They know Mom is waiting for them. They do not want to make her angry or sad. + +They say, "Okay, we did it. We saved the planet. We are the best space heroes ever." + +They jump out of the box and run to the house. They put away their lasers in their toy box. They say, "Thank you, lasers. You are awesome. We will play with you again later." + +They wash their hands and go to the table. Mom smiles and gives them a hug. She says, "I'm proud of you. You finished your game and cleaned up. You are good listeners and good eaters. Now, enjoy your lunch. You must be hungry after your space adventure." + +Lila and Ben smile and say, "We are, Mom. We are." They eat their lunch and tell Mom about their game. They are happy and full. They love their Mom and their lasers. They are safe and sound. +Ben wanted to help Mom set the table for dinner. He saw a big chair near the wall. He thought he could lift it and move it to the table. He was a strong boy, he told himself. + +He put his arms around the chair and tried to lift it. But it was too heavy for him. He felt his feet slip on the floor. He was nervous. He did not want to drop the chair and make a loud noise. + +He tried to put the chair down gently, but it was too late. The chair fell on the floor with a bang. Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Ben and the chair on the floor. She was not angry, but she was worried. + +"Ben, are you okay?" she asked. She helped him get up and hugged him. "You don't have to lift the chair, honey. It's too big for you. You can help me with the plates and forks instead. They are lighter and easier to carry." + +Ben nodded. He was glad Mom was not mad at him. He was sorry he made a mess. He wanted to be a good helper. He followed Mom to the kitchen and picked up a plate. He carried it to the table carefully. He was happy to help Mom set the table for dinner. +Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy. + +But then a mean boy came. He kicked the snowman and broke his nose. He laughed and said, "Your snowman is stupid. He has no arms and no mouth. He can't do anything." + +Lily and Tom were very sad and angry. They shouted, "Stop it! You are mean and bad. Go away!" + +The mean boy did not listen. He grabbed the snowman's hat and scarf and ran away. He said, "I will take these. They are mine now. You can't have them." + +Lily and Tom chased him, but he was too fast. They saw him cross the street and go to his house. They saw him close the door and lock it. + +Lily and Tom shivered in the cold. They had no hat and no scarf. They felt sorry for their snowman. He had no nose and no clothes. He looked sad and lonely. + +They went back to their snowman and hugged him. They said, "We are sorry, snowman. We love you. You are not stupid. You are our friend." + +They looked around and found a stick and a buckle. They gave the snowman a stick for an arm and a buckle for a mouth. They said, "Now you can wave and smile. You are happy again." + +The snowman seemed to wink at them with his button eyes. He was happy again. Lily and Tom smiled and waved back. They were happy again. +Sam liked to speed on his bike. He liked to go fast and feel the wind on his face. He liked to race with his friends and see who could get to the park first. + +One day, he was speeding on his bike and did not see a big rock on the road. He hit the rock and fell off his bike. He scraped his knee and his elbow and his bike got a dent. He felt a lot of pain and started to cry. + +A lady who was walking her dog saw him and came to help him. She asked him if he was okay and if he needed a band-aid. She was very kind and gentle. She also told him to be careful and not to speed so much on his bike. + +Sam felt ashamed. He knew he was not supposed to speed on his bike. He knew it was dangerous and he could get hurt. He said sorry to the lady and thanked her for helping him. He also said sorry to his bike and promised to take better care of it. + +He got back on his bike and rode slowly to the park. He met his friends there and told them what happened. They said they were sorry he got hurt and they gave him a hug. They also said they would not speed on their bikes anymore. They played together and had fun, but they were more careful and safe. Sam learned his lesson and never sped on his bike again. +One day, a little pig went to the forest to look for food. He saw many fruits and nuts on the trees and on the ground. He was very happy and started to eat them. He did not see a big wolf hiding behind a bush. The wolf was hungry and wanted to eat the pig. + +The wolf jumped out of the bush and said, "Hello, little pig. You look very tasty. I want to eat you for my lunch." + +The pig was very scared and ran away. He saw a big rock and hid behind it. He hoped the wolf would not find him. + +The wolf followed the pig and saw the rock. He said, "Little pig, little pig, come out of the rock. I know you are there. Don't be afraid. I just want to talk to you." + +The pig did not believe the wolf. He said, "No, no, no. You are a bad wolf. You want to eat me. Go away. Leave me alone." + +The wolf said, "Little pig, little pig, don't be rude. I have a gift for you. Look, I have a beautiful flower. It smells very nice. Come out and take it. I will not hurt you." + +The pig was curious and liked flowers. He thought maybe the wolf was not so bad. He said, "A flower? Really? Let me see it." + +The pig came out of the rock and saw the flower. It was red and yellow and had many petals. It looked very pretty. The pig reached out to take it. + +But the wolf was lying. He grabbed the pig and said, "Ha, ha, ha. I got you, little pig. You are so foolish. You should not trust a wolf. Now you are my lunch." + +The pig was very sad and cried. He said, "Please, please, please. Don't eat me, Mr. Wolf. I have a family and friends. They love me and need me. Please let me go." + +The wolf said, "No, no, no. You are too delicious to let go. I will eat you now." + +But then, the pig heard a loud noise. It was his father and his brothers. They came to the forest to look for him. They saw the wolf and the pig. They were very angry and brave. They said, "Let go of our brother, you evil wolf. Or we will make you sorry." + +The wolf was scared and let go of the pig. He ran away as fast as he could. He did not want to fight with the other pigs. + +The pig was very happy and hugged his father and his brothers. They said, "We are so glad you are safe, little pig. We were worried about you. Why did you go to the forest alone? Why did you trust the wolf? He is a liar and a killer. He is not your friend. He is your enemy." + +The pig said, "I am sorry, father and brothers. I was hungry and greedy. I wanted to eat the fruits and nuts. I did not listen to you. I did not know the wolf was so bad. He tricked me with a flower. He almost ate me. I was very stupid." + +His father and his brothers said, "It's okay, little pig. We forgive you. We love you. But you must learn from your mistake. You must not go to the forest alone. You must not talk to strangers. You must not believe everything you hear. You must be careful and smart. You must listen to us. We know what is best for you." + +The pig said, "Yes, father and brothers. You are right. I will listen to you. I will be careful and smart. I will not go to the forest alone. I will not talk to strangers. I will not believe everything I hear. Thank you for saving me. You are the best family ever." + +They all clapped and cheered. They went back to their home.

Don't trust strangers. Be careful and smart. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and ride their bikes. One day, they saw a big hill and wondered what it would be like to go down it very fast. They decided to try it and put on their helmets. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, I am, Tom. Let's go!" Lily said. + +They pushed their bikes to the top of the hill and got on. They felt the wind in their hair and the speed in their legs. They laughed and shouted as they zoomed down the hill. + +But they did not see the car that was coming from the other side. The car was also going very fast and did not stop. It hit Lily and Tom and their bikes. There was a loud noise and a lot of pain. + +Lily and Tom were very hurt. They cried and bled. The car driver was upset and called for help. But it was too late.

They want to say hello to the monkey. But the monkey is scared. It yells at them. It shows its teeth. Sara and Tom are scared too. They run away from the monkey. + +They go down the slide. The slide is fast and fun. But the slide is cold. It is made of metal. Sara and Tom shiver. They wish they had their coats. They get off the slide. They look for their mom and dad.

They also like to eat the green grass and the sweet carrots that grow in the field. + +One day, they see a big fence around the field. They wonder what it is for. They hop closer to the fence and see a sign that says "Stay out! This is a farm now!" They are scared and sad. They do not want to leave their home. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is Sam, a friendly dog who lives on the farm. He says, "Hello, rabbits! Do not be afraid. I am here to help you. The farmer is not mean. He just wants to grow some crops in the field. He will not hurt you. You can still hop and play in the field, but you have to stay away from the fence and the crops. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Jen nod their heads. They are happy to hear that they can still live in the field. They thank Sam for being friendly and helpful. They hop back to their friends and tell them the good news.

They are glad that they can still enjoy their home and their friends. +Lily liked to play dress up with her big sister's clothes. She found a blue uniform in the closet. It had a shiny badge and a hat. Lily put on the uniform and felt like a police officer. She wanted to fill her pockets with things that police officers use. + +She looked around the room and saw a pair of scissors, a lighter, and a bottle of perfume. She thought they were tools for police officers. She put them in her pockets and went downstairs. She wanted to show her mom and dad her uniform. + +But mom and dad were not home. They had gone to the store. Lily was alone in the house. She felt bored and curious. She took out the scissors and started to cut the curtains. She liked the sound of the fabric ripping. She made a big hole in the curtain. + +Then she took out the lighter and flicked it on. She saw a bright flame. She wondered what would happen if she touched the flame to the curtain. She moved the lighter closer to the hole. She saw a spark and then a fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger. It made a loud noise and a lot of smoke. + +Lily was scared. She dropped the lighter and ran to the door. But the door was locked. She had locked it when she came downstairs. She forgot where the key was. She tried to open the windows, but they were too high. She screamed for help, but no one heard her. The house was quiet. The fire was not. Lily was trapped. She wished she had never played with the uniform. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the zoo. They see many animals, but their favorite is the elephant. The elephant is big and gray. It has a long nose and big ears. + +One day, Lily and Ben go to the zoo with their moms. They run to the elephant house. They see the elephant eating hay. They want to touch it. + +"Can we feel the elephant, mom?" Lily asks. + +"Only if the zookeeper says it's okay," her mom says. + +The zookeeper is nice. He says they can feel the elephant, but they have to be gentle and careful. He gives them some carrots to feed the elephant. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They go to the elephant. They hold out the carrots. The elephant takes them with its nose. It makes a funny sound. + +"Wow, it's so soft!" Lily says, as she feels the elephant's nose. + +"It's so wrinkly!"

They wanted to ride in the cart and have fun. + +Lila said, "I have an idea. You push the cart and I sit in it. Then we switch and you sit and I push." Ben nodded and agreed. He was a good brother. He pushed the cart and Lila sat in it. They went fast and laughed. + +After a while, they switched. Lila pushed the cart and Ben sat in it. But Lila was clever. She saw a hill and had a plan. She pushed the cart very hard and let go. The cart rolled down the hill with Ben in it. Ben was scared and shouted, "Lila, help!" + +Lila ran after the cart. She caught up with it and grabbed the handle. She stopped the cart before it hit a tree. Ben was safe but angry. He got out of the cart and said, "Lila, that was mean! Why did you do that?" + +Lila shrugged and said, "I wanted to make it more fun. It was boring to just push and sit. Don't you like a little adventure?" Ben shook his head and said, "No, I don't. I like to play nice and safe. You should be more careful and kind." + +Lila felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to scare you. I love you, brother. Can we still play together?" Ben smiled and said, "I love you, too, sister. Yes, we can still play together. But next time, let's use the cart for something else. Maybe we can fill it with leaves and make a pile. Or we can pretend it's a boat and sail in the pond. Or we can take our toys for a ride. There are many ways to have fun with the cart." + +Lila and Ben hugged and agreed. They took the cart and went to find more games. They were happy and playful twins. +Lily and Max were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box with some old clothes, toys and books.

He had a mask and a bag. He wanted to take the treasure. He jumped out and shouted, "Arrr, give me the treasure, or I will tickle you!" + +Lily was scared. She screamed. She did not like to be tickled. She held her sword and said, "No, this is my treasure, go away, you bad pirate!" + +Max laughed. He ran towards Lily. He tried to grab the treasure. Lily swung her sword. She hit Max on the head. Max dropped his bag. He felt a bump. He cried. He said, "Ow, that hurt, you hit me too hard!" + +Lily felt sorry. She dropped her sword. She ran to Max.

He said, "It's okay, I'm sorry too, I was just playing, can we share the treasure?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, we can share the treasure, you are my brother, and I love you." + +They opened the box. They found a soft blanket. They wrapped it around them. They cuddled with their treasure.

She took out her book and called them to the living room. She said she would read them a story before bed. Anna and Ben thought it would be boring, but they did not want to make Grandma more angry.

She does not like it either. + +"Ow! You are right, Ben. This is spicy and hot. This is not a normal orange. This is a special orange. Mommy calls it a chili pepper. She uses it to make salsa. We should not eat it," Sara says. + +Sara and Ben run to the sink. They drink some water. They rinse their mouths. They feel better. + +"Sorry, Ben. I did not know it was a chili pepper.

Do you want to learn how to fold paper into a flower?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I do. That sounds fun," Lily said. + +"OK, then give me your marble and I will teach you how to fold paper into a flower," Ben said. + +Lily thought for a moment.

She agreed to give him her marble and took a piece of paper from him. + +Ben smiled and put the marble in his pocket. He showed Lily how to fold the paper into a flower. It was not very hard, and Lily followed his steps. Soon, she had a paper flower in her hand. + +"Look, I made a flower!" Lily said. + +"Good job, Lily. You are very smart," Ben said. + +"Thank you, Ben. Can I have my marble back now?" Lily asked. + +Ben hesitated. He liked the marble too much to give it back. He lied to Lily. + +"Sorry, Lily. I lost your marble. I don't know where it is," Ben said. + +Lily was very sad and angry. She knew Ben was lying. She saw the bulge in his pocket. She felt betrayed by her friend. + +"That's not true, Ben. You have my marble in your pocket. Give it back to me. You are a bad friend," Lily said. + +Ben felt ashamed and scared. He knew he did something wrong. He wanted to keep the marble, but he also wanted to keep Lily as his friend. He didn't know what to do. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was greedy and selfish. I wanted to have your marble, but I didn't want to lose you as a friend. Please forgive me. Here is your marble. You can have it back," Ben said and gave Lily the marble. + +Lily took the marble and looked at Ben. She was still hurt, but she also saw that Ben was sorry. She decided to forgive him. + +"Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. But don't ever lie to me again. That's not what friends do. Friends share and care for each other. Friends don't trick each other. Do you understand?" Lily said. + +"Yes, Lily. I understand. I'm sorry. Can we still be friends?" Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben. We can still be friends. But you have to promise me to be honest and kind from now on. Can you do that?" Lily said. + +"Yes, Lily. I promise. I will be honest and kind from now on. Thank you for being my friend," Ben said. + +Lily and Ben hugged and smiled. They learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned that marbles are not as important as friendship. They learned that being wealthy is not as important as being trustworthy. They learned that being greedy is not as good as being generous. They learned how to fold paper into a flower, but they also learned how to fold their hearts into love. +Lily liked to look at the stars at night. She saw many bright dots in the sky. She wondered what they were. She asked her mom. + +"Mom, what are those?" Lily pointed at the stars. + +"Those are stars, Lily. They are very far away. They shine like little lights in the dark," mom said. + +"Are they like angels?" Lily asked. + +"Angels are different, Lily. Angels are good and kind. They help people and animals. They have wings and can fly," mom said. + +"Can I see an angel?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe, Lily. You never know when an angel might visit you. But you have to be good and listen to your mom and dad," mom said. + +Lily nodded. She wanted to see an angel. She went to bed and dreamed of angels. + +The next day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide. She wanted to go on it. She ran to the slide and climbed the ladder. She was about to slide down when she saw something. + +It was an angel. It was sitting on the slide. It had white wings and a long dress. It smiled at Lily. It was brilliant. It sparkled like a star. + +"Hello, Lily," the angel said. + +"Hello, angel," Lily said. She was not scared. She was happy. + +"I came to visit you, Lily. You are a good girl. You are kind and sweet. I want to give you a gift," the angel said. + +"What gift?" Lily asked. + +The angel reached into its dress and took out a small box. It opened the box and showed Lily. Inside was a necklace. It had a star pendant. It was brilliant. It sparkled like a star. + +"This is for you, Lily. It is a star necklace. It will remind you of me and of the stars. It will make you shine like a star," the angel said. + +"Thank you, angel. It is beautiful. I love it," Lily said. + +The angel put the necklace around Lily's neck. It felt warm and soft. Lily hugged the angel. + +"You are welcome, Lily. I have to go now. But I will always watch over you. You are my star," the angel said. + +"Bye, angel. I will miss you. You are my angel," Lily said. + +The angel kissed Lily's cheek. It stood up and spread its wings. It flew up into the sky. It disappeared among the stars. + +Lily looked up and waved. She saw the angel wave back. She smiled. She slid down the slide. She ran to her mom and dad. She showed them her necklace. + +"Look, mom, dad. An angel gave me this. It is a star necklace. It is brilliant. It sparkles like a star," Lily said. + +Mom and dad looked at the necklace. They were surprised. They did not see the angel. They did not know where the necklace came from. But they saw Lily's joy. They hugged Lily. + +"That is wonderful, Lily. You are very lucky. You are our star," mom and dad said. + +Lily was happy. She had seen an angel. She had a star necklace. She was brilliant. She sparkled like a star. +Lily 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 then Lily saw a fancy mop in the corner. It was pink and fluffy and had a shiny handle. Lily wanted to play with it. + +"Look, Ben, a fancy mop!" Lily said. "Let's add it to our toys!" + +"No, Lily, that's not a toy. That's Mom's mop. She uses it to clean the floor. We can't play with it," Ben said. + +But Lily did not listen. She grabbed the mop and ran away. Ben tried to stop her, but she was too fast. She swung the mop around and hit the lamp, the vase, and the TV. She made a big mess and broke many things. + +"Stop, Lily, stop! You're making trouble!" Ben shouted. + +But Lily did not stop. She was having too much fun. She laughed and said, "This is the best toy ever!" + +Then Mom came home. She saw the mess and the broken things. She was very angry. She took the mop from Lily and scolded her. + +"Lily, what have you done? This is not a toy. This is a mop. You have ruined the living room. You have to go to your room and think about what you did. You are in big trouble," Mom said. + +Lily started to cry. She did not understand why Mom was so mad. She did not mean to break anything. She just wanted to play with the fancy mop. + +Ben felt sorry for Lily, but he also felt mad. He had told her not to play with the mop. He had tried to stop her. He had warned her. But she did not listen. He wished she had listened. + +The end. +Sam likes to print. He has a big box of paper and many colors. He prints with his hands, with stamps, with stickers. He prints cars, stars, flowers, and more. He is very happy when he prints. + +One day, he finds a new thing in his box. It is a horn. It is yellow and shiny. It has a hole at one end and a button at the other. Sam wonders what it does. He presses the button and hears a loud sound. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! + +Sam is surprised and scared. He drops the horn and runs to his mom. He tells her what happened. Mom smiles and hugs him. She says the horn is a toy. It makes noise when you press the button. She says it is fun to play with, but not too loud. + +Sam feels better. He goes back to his box and picks up the horn. He presses the button again, but softly. He hears a small sound. beep. beep. beep. He likes it. He prints a picture of the horn on his paper. He shows it to mom. Mom says it is very good. She says he is a great printer. + +Sam is proud. He prints more pictures of the horn. He prints them in red, blue, green, and purple. He prints them big and small. He prints them on dry paper and wet paper. He prints them on the floor and on the wall. He has fun with the horn. He is a happy printer. +Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play with boats. They had a big boat made of wood and cloth. They put it in the pond near their house. They wanted to sail it. + +"Are you ready, Sue?" Tom asked. He held a rope that was tied to the boat. + +"Yes, I am ready, Tom," Sue said. She had a hat and a flag. She climbed on the boat and waved the flag. + +Tom let go of the rope. The boat moved on the water. The wind blew the cloth. The boat went fast. Tom and Sue were happy. They shouted and laughed. + +But then, they saw a big duck. The duck was swimming in the pond. The duck saw the boat. The duck was curious. The duck swam towards the boat. + +"Oh no, a duck!" Tom said. He was scared. He did not like ducks. He thought the duck would bite the boat. + +"Don't worry, Tom," Sue said. She was brave. She liked ducks. She thought the duck was friendly. She smiled at the duck. + +The duck reached the boat. The duck looked at Sue and Tom. The duck quacked. The duck wanted to play. The duck pushed the boat with its beak. + +The boat spun around. The boat tipped over. The boat sank. Tom and Sue fell in the water. They were wet. They were surprised. + +The duck quacked again. The duck was sorry. The duck did not mean to sink the boat. The duck swam away. + +Tom and Sue swam to the shore. They were sad. They lost their boat. They looked at the pond. They could not see their boat. + +"Maybe we can make another boat, Sue," Tom said. He tried to cheer up. + +"Maybe we can, Tom," Sue said. She hugged him. "But next time, let's sail away from the duck." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big tree with a hole. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe there is a treasure!" + +Lily was nervous. She did not like dark places. She did not know what could be in the hole. She held Tom's hand. + +"OK, Tom. But you go first." + +They walked to the tree. Tom looked in the hole. He saw something move. He heard a squeak. + +"Look, Lily! There is a rat in the hole!" + +Lily was scared. She did not like rats. She thought rats were dirty and mean. She pulled Tom back. + +"Let's go, Tom! I don't want to see the rat!" + +Tom was curious. He wanted to see the rat better. He thought rats were funny and smart. He reached in the hole. + +"Come on, Lily! The rat is not bad. Maybe he wants to play!" + +The rat did not want to play. The rat was angry. He did not like Tom's hand in his hole. He bit Tom's finger. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. "The rat bit me!" + +Lily and Tom ran away from the tree. They went to their mom. She saw Tom's finger. She put a band-aid on it. + +"Are you OK, Tom?" she asked. + +Tom nodded. He was sad. He did not understand why the rat bit him. + +"I just wanted to be his friend," he said. + +Lily hugged Tom. She was sorry for him. She wanted to make him happy. + +"Let's play something else, Tom," she said. "Let's clap our hands and sing a song!" + +Tom smiled. He liked to clap and sing. He forgot about the rat. + +"OK, Lily. Let's clap and sing!" + +They clapped their hands and sang a song. They had fun. They did not go near the tree again. +Sara likes to write. She writes on paper, on walls, on books, on anything. She writes her name, her numbers, her shapes, and her stories. She writes with crayons, with pens, with pencils, and with markers. She writes all the time. + +One day, Sara finds a big red marker. She thinks it is very pretty. She wants to write with it. She looks for a place to write. She sees the white sofa in the living room. She thinks it is a good place to write. She runs to the sofa and starts to write. + +She writes "Sara" in big letters. She writes "I love you" to her mother. She writes "The cat is crazy" because she thinks it is funny. She writes and writes and writes. She is very happy. + +Then, her mother comes in. She sees the sofa. She sees the red marker. She sees Sara. She is very angry. She shouts, "Sara, what did you do? You ruined the sofa! You cannot write on the sofa! That is very bad!" + +Sara is scared. She drops the marker. She says, "I'm sorry, mother. I wanted to write. I wanted to show you. I love you, mother." + +Her mother sighs. She is still angry, but she is also sad. She says, "I love you too, Sara. But you cannot write on the sofa. You have to write on paper. Or on a board. Or on a card. Not on the sofa. Do you understand?" + +Sara nods. She says, "I understand, mother. I will not write on the sofa again. I will write on paper. Or on a board. Or on a card. Can I write you a sorry card?" + +Her mother smiles. She says, "Yes, you can write me a sorry card. But first, we have to clean the sofa. And then, we have to put away the marker. And then, we have to hug. OK?" + +Sara says, "OK, mother. I will help you clean the sofa. And I will put away the marker. And I will hug you. And then, I will write you a sorry card. And I will write, 'I love you, mother. You are not crazy. The cat is crazy.'" + +Her mother laughs. She says, "That is a very nice card, Sara. Thank you. I love you too, Sara. You are not crazy. You are creative. But you have to be careful. OK?" + +Sara says, "OK, mother. I will be careful. And I will be creative. And I will write more stories. But not on the sofa." + +The end. +Lily liked to draw shapes with her crayons. She had a red crayon, a blue crayon, and a yellow crayon. She drew circles, squares, and triangles on a big piece of paper. She was very proud of her shapes. + +She showed her shapes to her mom. Mom smiled and said, "You are a very good artist, Lily. I like your shapes. They are very colorful and neat." + +Lily said, "Thank you, Mom. I like to draw shapes. They are fun and pretty. Do you have a favorite shape, Mom?" + +Mom thought for a moment and said, "I like all shapes, but I think triangles are very special. They have three sides and three corners. They can make other shapes, like stars and mountains and pyramids. They are very strong and graceful." + +Lily nodded and said, "I like triangles too. They are my favorite shape. They belong on my paper. They make me happy." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "You are very sweet, Lily. You belong in my heart. You make me happy too." +Lily liked to play with her toy subway. It had many cars and people and she could make it go fast or slow. She liked to pretend that she was going to different places with her toy subway. + +One day, she wanted to play with her toy subway in the garden. She asked her mom if she could go outside. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful and not get dirty. Lily said okay and took her toy subway outside. + +She found a nice spot in the garden where there was some dirt and some flowers. She put her toy subway on the dirt and made it go around the flowers. She thought it looked like a real subway in a big city. + +She saw a watering can next to the flowers. She thought it would be fun to pour some water on her toy subway. She picked up the watering can and poured some water on her toy subway. She liked how the water made the dirt wet and muddy. + +But then, she saw something hairy in the dirt. It was a big worm. It was wriggling and squirming in the water. Lily was scared. She did not like worms. She dropped the watering can and ran back to the house. She left her toy subway in the garden. + +She told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said it was okay. She said worms were not scary, they were good for the garden. She said she would help her clean her toy subway later. Lily felt better. She decided she would not pour water on her toy subway again. She would play with it inside or on the grass. She still liked her toy subway. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They also liked to talk and laugh. They were happy. + +But then they saw a big dog. The dog was black and brown. It had sharp teeth and loud bark. The dog ran towards them. Tom and Lily were scared. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Tom shouted. He grabbed Lily's hand and they ran away from the dog. They looked for a safe place to hide. + +They found a small house. The house was made of wood and had a red door. They opened the door and went inside. They closed the door behind them. + +They heard the dog outside. It was still barking and scratching the door. Tom and Lily hugged each other. They were quiet. They hoped the dog would go away. + +They waited for a long time. The dog stopped barking. They heard nothing. They heard silence. + +"Is the dog gone?" Lily whispered. + +"I don't know," Tom whispered back. "Maybe we should look." + +They walked to the door. They opened it a little bit. They peeked outside. + +They saw the dog. But the dog was not angry. The dog was happy. It was wagging its tail and licking a man's face. The man was holding a leash. The man was the dog's owner. + +"Sorry, kids," the man said. "My dog is not bad. He just likes to play. He is mighty, but he is friendly. What are your names?" + +"I'm Tom and this is Lily," Tom said. + +"Nice to meet you, Tom and Lily," the man said. "My name is Ben and this is Rex. Do you want to pet him?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They were not scared anymore. They nodded. They went outside. They petted Rex. Rex licked their hands. They smiled. + +They made a new friend. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were at the beach with their mom. They liked to play in the sand and watch the boats on the water. They saw a big boat with a black flag and many sailors. They wanted to know more about it. + +"Mom, what is that boat?" Tom asked. + +"That is a pirate boat, Tom. The sailors are pirates. They are bad people who take things from other boats," Mom said. + +"Why do they have a black flag?" Lily asked. + +"The black flag is a sign that they are pirates. It has a picture of a skull and bones. That means they are scary and dangerous," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily were curious and scared. They wanted to observe the pirate boat, but they also wanted to stay away from it. They saw the pirates shout and wave their swords. They saw them throw ropes and hooks to another boat. They heard the other boat's people scream and cry. + +"Mom, what are they doing?" Tom asked. + +"They are trying to attack the other boat, Tom. They want to take their things and hurt them. We have to help them," Mom said. + +Mom took out her phone and called the police. She told them about the pirate boat and the other boat. She asked them to come quickly and stop the pirates. + +Tom and Lily hoped the police would come soon. They felt sorry for the other boat's people. They wished the pirates would go away. They hugged their mom and each other. They waited for the police to save the day. +Lily loved chocolate. It was her favorite thing to eat. She liked it when her mom gave her a piece of chocolate after dinner. It was so yummy and sweet. + +But one day, Lily did not get any chocolate. Her mom said they ran out of chocolate and had to buy more. Lily was sad. She wanted chocolate so much. She missed the yummy taste in her mouth. + +Lily decided to look for chocolate in the kitchen. She opened the drawers and the cabinets. She did not find any chocolate. She only found crackers and cheese and apples. She did not want those things. She wanted chocolate. + +Then, Lily saw something on the top shelf. It was a big jar with a brown label. Lily thought it was chocolate. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. She opened it and smelled it. It smelled like chocolate. She was so happy. She took a big spoon and scooped some of the jar. + +But when she put it in her mouth, she did not like it. It was not yummy. It was bitter and spicy. It was not chocolate. It was coffee. Lily spit it out and made a face. She did not like coffee. She wanted chocolate. + +She heard her mom come into the kitchen. She saw Lily with the jar and the spoon and the mess. She was not happy. She told Lily to get down from the chair and to wash her mouth. She said coffee was not for children. She said chocolate was a treat and not to eat too much. + +Lily felt sorry. She said sorry to her mom. She said she missed chocolate and wanted some. Her mom hugged her and said she understood. She said she bought some chocolate on her way home and she would give her a piece after dinner. Lily smiled and said thank you. She was glad her mom was nice. She still loved chocolate. But she did not love coffee. +Tom and Lily are hungry. They want to eat something yummy. They look in the kitchen. They see a big cake on the table. It has pink and white frosting and sprinkles. It looks very good. + +They run to the table and grab the cake. They do not ask Mom or Dad. They do not use a plate or a fork. They just eat the cake with their hands. They eat and eat and eat. They make a big mess. They get frosting and sprinkles on their faces and clothes. + +Mom and Dad come home. They see Tom and Lily and the cake. They are very angry. They say, "What did you do? Why did you eat the cake? That was for Grandma's birthday. Now we have no cake for Grandma. And you are very smelly. You need a bath." + +Tom and Lily are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We were hungry. The cake looked yummy. We did not know it was for Grandma. We love Grandma. Can we make another cake for her?" + +Mom and Dad sigh. They say, "No, we cannot make another cake. We have no time. We have to go to Grandma's house soon. But we can buy a cake on the way. And we can clean you up. Come on, let's go to the bathroom. Then we can watch TV for a little while before we leave. But next time, please ask before you eat something. And use a plate and a fork. OK?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They say, "OK, Mom and Dad. We are sorry. We will not do it again. We love you. And we love cake. And we love TV. And we love Grandma." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. Sometimes they found worms and beetles, and sometimes they found nothing. + +One day, they dug a big hole under the apple tree. They hoped to find something shiny or funny. But they only found dirt and rocks. They were sad and bored. + +Then, they saw something in the hole. It was round and brown and had a hole in it. It looked like a nut. They picked it up and looked at it. It was dull and hard. They wondered what was inside. + +They tried to open it with their fingers, but it was too tight. They tried to open it with a stick, but it was too strong. They tried to open it with a rock, but it was too loud. + +They were about to give up, when they heard a squeak. They looked at the nut again, and saw a tiny nose and two black eyes. It was not a nut, it was a mouse! + +The mouse had been hiding in the nut, and was scared by the noise. It wanted to get out and run away. It pushed the nut open and jumped out of the hole. + +Tom and Lily were surprised and happy. They had never seen a mouse before. They wanted to touch it and play with it. But the mouse was fast and shy. It ran across the garden and disappeared behind the fence. + +Tom and Lily laughed and clapped. They had found something shiny and funny after all. They decided to keep digging and see what else would appear. +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They had a big ball and a small slide. Lily wanted to slide down with the ball, but Max wanted to kick the ball. They both grabbed the ball and pulled hard. + +"Let go!" Lily said. "It's my turn!" + +"No, it's mine!" Max said. "I want to kick it!" + +They pulled and pulled until the ball popped. It made a loud noise and they both let go. The ball flew in the air and landed on the roof. Lily and Max looked up and saw the ball. They felt sad and mad. + +"How will we get it?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Max said. + +They tried to reach the ball with a stick, but it was too high. They tried to climb the slide, but it was too slippery. They tried to jump, but it was too far. They were impatient and wanted their ball back. + +Then they heard a bark. It was Spot, their dog. Spot saw the ball on the roof and wanted to play. He ran and jumped on the slide. He slid down fast and hit the wall. The wall shook and the ball fell. It bounced on the ground and rolled to Lily and Max. + +"Spot, you did it!" Lily said. "You got the ball!" + +"Good boy, Spot!" Max said. "You are so smart!" + +They hugged Spot and thanked him. They forgot their fight and played with the ball and the dog. They were happy and had fun in the backyard. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their toy helicopter. They liked to make it fly high in the sky and watch it spin and zoom. Sometimes they took turns to control it, and sometimes they did it together. + +One day, a big boy came and saw their helicopter. He wanted to play with it too, but he did not ask nicely. He grabbed the remote from Ben and ran away with it. He laughed and said, "This is mine now, you can't have it back!" + +Ben and Lily were very sad and angry. They chased after the big boy, but he was too fast. They shouted, "Stop, that's not yours, give it back!" But the big boy did not listen. He kept flying the helicopter higher and higher, until it was almost out of sight. + +Ben and Lily did not know what to do. They felt like crying. Then they saw a real helicopter in the air. It was big and loud and had a red cross on it. It was flying towards the park. They wondered what it was doing. + +The real helicopter landed on the grass near them. A man and a woman came out. They were wearing white clothes and had badges. They looked friendly and kind. They saw Ben and Lily and smiled. + +"Hello, we are here to help someone who is hurt. Do you know where they are?" the woman asked. + +Ben and Lily shook their heads. They did not see anyone who was hurt. They were too busy looking for their toy helicopter. + +The man noticed their sad faces and their empty hands. He asked, "What's wrong? Did you lose something?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They told him about the big boy who took their toy helicopter and flew it away. They pointed to the sky, but they could not see it anymore. + +The man and the woman felt sorry for them. They said, "That's not nice, he should not have done that. Maybe we can help you find it. Do you trust us?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not know the man and the woman, but they seemed nice and helpful. They decided to trust them. They nodded and said, "Yes, we trust you. Can you help us?" + +The man and the woman smiled. They said, "Yes, we can. Come with us, we'll take you for a ride in our helicopter. Maybe we can see your toy helicopter from up there. And don't worry, we'll be back soon. We have a radio to talk to our friends who are helping the hurt person." + +Ben and Lily were surprised and excited. They had never been in a real helicopter before. They thanked the man and the woman and followed them to the helicopter. They put on helmets and seat belts and listened to the instructions. They felt nervous and curious. + +The helicopter took off and flew over the park. Ben and Lily looked out of the window and saw the trees and the people and the cars and the houses. They felt like they were flying too. They looked for their toy helicopter, but they could not see it. + +Then the woman said, "Look, there it is!" She pointed to a small dot in the sky. It was their toy helicopter. It was still flying, but it was very far away. The big boy must have lost control of it. + +The man said, "We'll try to get closer to it. Maybe we can catch it or make it land." He flew the helicopter towards the toy helicopter. He was very careful and skillful. He got closer and closer, until he was almost next to it. + +He said, "Now, Ben, can you reach out and grab it? Be quick and gentle, don't let it fall." + +Ben felt scared and brave. He reached out his hand and grabbed the toy helicopter. He pulled it in and held it tight. He did it. He got it back. + +He said, "I got it, I got it!" He was very happy and proud. He showed it to Lily and the man and the woman. They all cheered and clapped. + +Lily said, "You did it, Ben, you're amazing!" She hugged him and kissed him. She was very happy and proud too. + +The man said, "Well done, Ben, you're very successful! You saved your toy helicopter. And you're very brave too. How do you feel?" + +Ben said, "I feel great. And I feel thankful. Thank you for helping us. You're very nice and very good at flying." + +The woman said, "You're very welcome. We're glad we could help. And thank you for trusting us. You're very smart and very kind." + +The man said, "Now, let's go back to the park. We have to finish our job and help the hurt person. And you have to play with your toy helicopter. Are you +Lily likes to clap her hands. She claps when she is happy, when she sings, when she plays. She claps to say hello and goodbye. She claps to make noise and have fun. + +One morning, Lily hears a loud alarm. It is not a regular alarm, like the one that wakes her up. It is a scary alarm, like the one that means there is a fire. Lily is scared. She does not know what to do. + +She runs to her mom and dad. They are also scared. They tell her to grab her coat and her teddy. They tell her to follow them. They tell her to be brave and calm. + +They go outside. There are many people and cars and lights. There are firemen and policemen and ambulances. There is smoke and water and noise. Lily is very scared. She holds her mom and dad's hands. She holds her teddy tight. + +She sees a fireman. He is wearing a big hat and a big coat. He has a hose and a ladder. He smiles at Lily. He tells her not to worry. He tells her he will put out the fire. He tells her he will make everything safe. + +Lily feels a little better. She smiles at the fireman. She claps her hands. She claps to say thank you. She claps to show she is brave and calm. She claps to make noise and have fun. +Tom was a shy boy who liked to play with his sack of toys. He had cars, balls, dolls, and books in his sack. He liked to take them out and make stories with them. He did not like to talk to other kids or grown-ups. He only talked to his toys and his mom. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom and his sack of toys. He saw a man with a big mustache sitting on a bench. The man smiled at Tom and said hello. Tom felt scared and hid behind his mom. He did not want to talk to the man with the mustache. + +The man with the mustache saw Tom's sack of toys and said, "What do you have in your sack, little boy? Can I see?" Tom did not answer. He held his sack tight and looked away. The man with the mustache said, "Don't be shy, I like toys too. I have a sack of toys at home. Do you want to see?" + +Tom was curious. He wondered what kind of toys the man with the mustache had. He peeked at the man's sack, which was next to the bench. He saw something shiny and colorful. He wanted to see more. He took a step closer to the man's sack. + +The man with the mustache said, "That's my sack of marbles. Do you like marbles? They are fun to play with. You can roll them, toss them, or trade them. Do you want to try?" He took out a handful of marbles and offered them to Tom. + +Tom looked at the marbles. They were pretty and smooth. He liked them. He reached out his hand and took a marble. He felt it in his fingers. He smiled at the man with the mustache. He said, "Thank you. Can I play with you?" The man with the mustache said, "Of course. Let's play." He showed Tom how to play with marbles. Tom had fun. He made a new friend. He was not shy anymore. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors, but her favorite was red.

Daisy couldn't answer with words, so she held up her hands and showed him her stitches. They were different from his stitches and they made her look different. Daisy was so scared he would no longer love her when he saw them. + +But Bill didn't flinch. "That's okay," he said, putting his arms around her. "I still love you, Daisy." + +The moral of the story is that true love is deaf to differences.

Who was talking to him? + +Then the fox noticed a small mouse peeking out of its hole.

The bear knew he had to solve this problem. + +He used his smarts and decided to go talk to the birds and bunnies in the forest. He asked them if they knew how to solve the problem and the animals told him that the wind was getting very strong. The wind was making the trees shake and shake, and they didn't know how to stop it. + +The bear smiled and had an idea.

The rabbit decided to try a different tactic. He began to tap out a steady beat on the ground with his foot, which made the bear dance with joy. + +After dancing for a while, the bear realised what he had done and he felt really bad. He handed the drum back to the rabbit, apologised and ran off into the woods. + +The little rabbit was very relieved and happy.

"I'm having lots of fun this way." + +Later that day, Hoppy settled into his cozy nest after a long day of hopping. Wiggles was also happy in his own nest.

The flower told him to close his eyes and he did so. The flower then began to display the most beautiful colours Pete had ever seen. They changed so quickly, like every minute something new was showing. And then the colours changed to a sad blue. + +Pete felt so upset for the flower. To see something so beautiful turn so sad made him feel very sad too. He flew around the flower, trying to make it feel better. Eventually the flower smiled again, the colours returned and Pete knew he had done something good. + +The flower thanked Pete with a gentle squeak and said, "It's so nice to have a friend like you."
