Then the tree shone brightly and peace came to the mom and dad. From then on, they were honest and true and stopped fighting with each other.

She would touch the air, soar through the sky and take in the beauty of the world around her. + +One day, the butterfly saw a special flower that she had never seen before and she longed to touch it.

When she reached the flower, the butterfly felt its petals with her antennae and it was the most delicate and beautiful touch she had ever experienced! + +The butterfly stayed with the flower, stretching and resting her wings as they both enjoyed each other's company. She would fly up high, look down at the flower, then touch it with her wings and return. + +The butterfly and the flower were together for a long time, until one day the butterfly spread her wings one last time and flew away. She knew she would never forget the delicate touch of the special flower, even if she were to travel for a lifetime. +One day, Jimmy was out in the yard with his family. He saw a beautiful stone in the grass. He proudly picked it up and brought it to his parents. His mom smiled and said "Oh, what a pretty stone! Would you like to marry it?" Jimmy nodded eagerly and smiled. So Dad improvised a wedding ceremony, and soon enough Jimmy was "married" to the stone. + +Jimmy was so excited, but that happiness didn't last long. He wanted to give his stone a special gift, so he presented it with a sour pickle. His stone looked a bit worried and said "Oh, no! I don't think I can eat this sour pickle!"

She decided to ask her mum for help. Her mum explained how to walk in heels and showed her how to move her feet. + +Hopefully with practice she'll soon get used to wearing them. She'll include walking in her shoes with heels as part of her daily activities and soon be a pro. +Jill was a young girl who loved to play outdoors. One day she found a beautiful hat on the ground.

I’m almost at the dog!†+ +John kept chasing the toy dog and seconds later, the dark sky opened up and it began to rain. John got wet and uncomfortable but he still kept going. He finally got the toy dog but then lightning flashed across the sky and he heard a loud clap of thunder. + +John tried to make it back inside, but he was too late.

The little bird was very proud of what he has achieved.

But the wall was too high. He tried several times, but he just couldn't do it. + +The panda wasn't too sure what to do. Suddenly, he noticed a small hole in the wall. He squeezed himself in and pushed his way through. When he got to the other side, he noticed it was very different. There were other animals living in the new place, and none of them were very friendly. + +The animals chased the panda and tried to keep him out of the new place. But the panda was too lively - he darted around and resisted their attempts to push him away. After a while, the animals gave up and let him stay. + +The panda was so excited to explore the new place. He bounded around and made lots of new friends.

He grabbed a golf club and followed the woman to the tee. But when it came to actually hitting the ball, John was too confused and he couldn't do it. Eventually his embarrassment overpowered his confusion and he smiled at the woman. + +John thanked the woman for offering him the chance and he said goodbye to her. He went back to the street and started to walk towards the meeting he was supposed to be at. +Once upon a time there were two friends named Bobby and Susie.

They kept arguing and shouting until Bobby's mum came over. + +She was very kind and said, "Why don't you both have the lovely red juice?". Bobby and Susie both thought this was a great idea.

Suddenly, Lucy felt scared and remembered what Mom said. She held onto her toy and ran away. + +On her way home, Lucy started to lose her toy. She was scared and started to cry.

When the sun shined on it, it sparkled and glistened like a million diamonds all dancing together. People laughed and cheered just to see it. + +The steam stretched high in the sky and even went above the clouds. Everywhere the wind went, so did the steam, reaching all sorts of places.

His dad said, "See, that's why it's best to wait and be fit enough to do something before you try doing it." + +Arthur learned an important lesson that day — it's important to know that some things take time and can't be done right away.

"We will catch you! We will not let you fall too far." + +The fairies circled around her like a flock of birds, each flying a few inches closer until she was safe on the ground. + +The little girl thanked the fairies.

The little girl laughed and twirled in the sparkles as she watched the Fairy disappear. +Once there was a bird who loved to keep flying. Every day it would soar high in the sky and look for new places to explore. One day the bird flew further away than usual and noticed a distant branch jutting out of a tall tree. Without hesitation, it flew straight towards the branch and decided to stay there. + +The bird loved its new home. Every morning it would fly off and search for food, but it always came back to the same branch. The other birds who lived in the area were curious. They would often come to visit and ask why the bird kept visiting the distant branch. + +The bird knew why though. Every day it would take a few seconds to rest, admire the view and take a deep breath. It was the bird's happy place and it wanted to keep visiting, so it kept coming back. + +The bird kept visiting the distant branch for many years, until it was time to fly away again.

He was surprised at how much he loved the feeling of the wind on his skin as he sped through the forest. "I'm doing it!" he shouted to Lily as he ran past her. + +Benny's other friend, a squirrel named Sammy, was in the lead. But suddenly, he tripped and fell. Benny saw what happened and stopped to help him up. "Are you okay?" he asked. Sammy nodded and said, "Thanks, Benny. You're a good friend." + +Even though he didn't win the race, Benny felt happy because he had helped his friend.

Every day, she would go outside and pick a new flower to add to her collection. + +One day, while she was picking flowers, she saw a big, scary dog. The dog started to chase her, and she ran as fast as she could. She ran and ran until she couldn't run anymore. When she turned around, the dog was right behind her. + +The little girl was very scared. She tried to pick up a rock to throw at the dog, but she was too small.

She loved to listen to music and dance around her bedroom. One day, she heard a knock at the door. It was the mailman who came to deliver a package. Lily's mom opened the package and inside was a brand new toy piano for Lily to play with. + +Lily was so happy and played the piano all day long. She even made up her own songs. But as the day went on, Lily started to feel hungry. She didn't want to stop playing her piano, but her tummy was growling. + +Then, Lily had an idea. She remembered that her mom had packed her a snack earlier that day. So, she ran to the kitchen and found a tasty sandwich waiting for her. She gobbled it up and went back to playing her piano. + +From that day on, Lily played her piano every day and always made sure to have a snack nearby so she wouldn't get hungry. And sometimes, when she was feeling extra happy, she would even sing along to her music. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys all day long. One day, her mommy said, "Lily, let's go for a drive in the car!" So, Lily and her mommy got in the car and drove to the store. + +At the store, they saw a lonely man who needed help.

That meant the leaves on the trees would change colors and fall to the ground. + +Lily was excited to see all the pretty colors, so she ran outside to play. While she was playing, she saw a squirrel run up a tree. Lily wanted to climb the tree too, but her mommy told her it wasn't safe. + +So instead, Lily ran around the yard and collected some leaves. She was happy to have her own little collection of fall leaves. When it started to get dark outside, Lily's mommy called her in for dinner. Lily was tired from all the running, but she was happy and safe. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to eat cauliflower because it was his favorite vegetable. He would always ask his mom to make it for dinner. + +One day, Timmy went to the store with his mom and saw a popular toy in the window. He asked his mom if he could have it, but she said no. Timmy was sad and didn't understand why he couldn't have it. + +Later that day, Timmy's dad came home from work and Timmy told him about the toy. His dad replied, "Maybe we can get it for your birthday." Timmy was happy and forgot all about the toy. He was just excited for his birthday. +Tim and Jen like to play with toys. They have many toys in their room. Some toys are big, some toys are small. Some toys make noise, some toys are quiet.

They do not know what is wrong with the machine. + +They try to fix the machine. They pull the wires, twist the knobs, and shake the machine. They use force and anger. They do not use care and love. The machine breaks more and more. The wires snap, the knobs fall, and the machine cracks. The machine is broken and ruined. Tim and Jen are shocked and scared. + +Mom and dad come to the room. They see the broken machine. They see the mess. They see Tim and Jen. They are angry and disappointed. They tell Tim and Jen that the machine was not a toy. It was a gift for grandma. It was a special machine that helped grandma hear and talk. It was a expensive and important machine. Tim and Jen broke the machine. They broke grandma's gift. They broke mom and dad's trust. + +Tim and Jen feel sorry and ashamed. They cry and apologize. They wish they had asked mom and dad. They wish they had been careful and gentle.

She sees that they are not very badly broken. She thinks she can fix them with some glue and tape. She smiles and has an idea. + +"Listen, children, I have a meeting soon and I need to go. But I can fix your cars if you promise me something. Can you do that?" Mom says. + +Anna and Ben stop crying and look at Mom. They wonder what she wants them to promise. + +"What do you want us to promise?" Anna asks. + +"I want you to promise to share your cars and play nicely. And I want you to reverse what you said. You didn't break each other's cars, you had an accident. Can you say sorry and hug each other?" Mom says. + +Anna and Ben think about it. They like their cars and they don't want to lose them.

He got it from his grandpa. It was very old and very fragile. You have to be careful with old and fragile things. They can break easily." + +Lily felt bad. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Daddy. I didn't know it was his special book. I won't touch it again." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I know, Lily. You are a good girl. Come on, let's go to the library.

You are mean. You broke my map." + +Her mom hears them and comes in. She sees the torn map and the tears. She says, "What is going on? Why are you fighting?" Lily and Ben tell her what happened.

The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two stones for eyes. They were very happy. + +But then they saw a wild fox. The fox was hungry and saw the carrot nose. He ran towards the snowman and tried to bite it. Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want the fox to hurt their snowman. + +They shouted at the fox. "Go away, fox! Leave our snowman alone!" But the fox did not listen. He jumped on the snowman and knocked off his hat and scarf. He grabbed the carrot nose with his teeth. + +Lily and Ben had an idea. They picked up some snow and made snowballs. They threw the snowballs at the fox. The snowballs hit the fox on his head, his back and his ear. The fox was cold and wet. He dropped the carrot nose and ran away. + +Lily and Ben cheered. They put the carrot nose back on the snowman. They fixed his hat and scarf. They hugged the snowman and thanked him for being brave. They said, "We love you, snowman. You are our friend. Don't freeze!" +Sam liked to sign. He learned many signs from his mom and dad, who were deaf. He could sign hello, thank you, hungry, and more. He liked to sign with his friends at school, too. + +One day, Sam and his mom went to the store. They rode in a big vehicle that had many seats and a door that opened and closed by itself. Sam thought it was fun, but his mom looked uncomfortable. She could not hear the driver or the other people in the vehicle. She could not see their faces or their lips. + +Sam saw his mom's sad face and wanted to help. He had an idea. He took his mom's hand and signed, "I love you, mom. You are the best." He smiled and hugged her. His mom smiled back and signed, "I love you, too, Sam. You are the best." She hugged him and kissed his cheek. + +The driver saw them in the mirror and smiled. He knew some signs, too. He signed, "You are very sweet, Sam. Your mom is lucky to have you." Sam and his mom nodded and thanked him. They felt happy and comfortable in the vehicle. They arrived at the store and got off. They waved goodbye to the driver and the other people. They held hands and walked to the store. They signed and smiled all the way. +Sam loves his pet cat, Luna. Luna has soft fur and bright eyes. She likes to play with Sam and his toys. Sometimes, Luna is naughty and tears Sam's toys with her claws. Sam gets sad when his toys are broken. + +One day, Sam and Luna are playing in his room. Sam has a new toy car that his mom gave him. He makes the car go zoom on the floor. Luna watches the car and wants to catch it. She jumps on the car and tears the wheels off with her teeth. + +"Hey, Luna, stop!" Sam cries. "You broke my car! Bad cat!" + +Luna looks at Sam and meows. She does not understand why Sam is angry. She thinks the car is a fun toy for her. She tries to rub her head on Sam's leg, but Sam pushes her away. + +"Go away, Luna. I don't want to play with you. You are a bad pet." Sam says. + +Luna feels sad and scared. She runs away and hides under the bed. She does not want to lose Sam's love. She wishes she could say sorry to Sam. + +Sam looks at his broken car and feels sorry too. He loves Luna and does not want to hurt her. He remembers that Luna is just a cat and does not know better. He decides to forgive Luna and make up with her. + +He goes to the bed and calls Luna. "Luna, come out. I'm sorry I yelled at you. You are a good pet. I love you." + +Luna hears Sam's voice and comes out. She sees Sam smiling and holding his car. She purrs and jumps on his lap. She licks his face and nuzzles his ear. + +"I love you too, Sam." Luna says in her cat way. "I'm sorry I tore your car. Can we play again?" + +Sam hugs Luna and nods. "Yes, we can play again. But not with my car. Let's find another toy for you. How about this ball?" + +Sam and Luna play with the ball and have fun. They are happy and forget about the car. They are best friends. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls with different clothes and hair. She liked to dress them up in fashion. Fashion was when you made your dolls look pretty and cool. + +One day, Sara had a new friend over. Her name was Mia. Mia also liked to play with dolls. But Mia did not have many dolls. She only had one doll with a blue dress and brown hair. Mia saw Sara's dolls and wanted to play with them. + +Sara was happy to share her dolls with Mia. She said, "You can pick any doll you want. We can play together." Mia smiled and said, "Thank you, Sara. You are very nice." She looked at all the dolls and picked one with a pink dress and blonde hair. She said, "This doll is very pretty. Can I play with her?" + +Sara said, "Sure, you can play with her. She is my favorite doll. Her name is Lily." Sara picked another doll with a purple dress and black hair. She said, "This doll is also very pretty. Her name is Zoe." + +Sara and Mia played with their dolls for a long time. They made them talk and walk and dance. They had a lot of fun. But then, Sara noticed something. Mia was always playing with Lily. She never gave her back to Sara. She never played with any other doll. She only played with Lily. + +Sara felt jealous. Jealous was when you wanted something that someone else had. Sara wanted to play with Lily again. She missed her favorite doll. She said, "Mia, can I have Lily back? I want to play with her too." + +Mia said, "No, I want to play with Lily. She is my favorite doll now. You have many other dolls. You can play with them." She hugged Lily and did not let go. + +Sara felt angry. Angry was when you were mad at someone. She said, "No, Mia, that is not fair. Lily is my doll. I shared her with you. You have to share her with me too. Give her back to me now." + +Mia said, "No, Sara, I will not give her back. She is mine now. You are not nice. You are mean." She held Lily tighter and ran away. + +Sara felt sad. Sad was when you felt bad and wanted to cry. She said, "Mia, please come back. Please give me Lily back. Please be my friend." She chased after Mia. + +But Mia did not stop. She ran to the door and opened it. She said, "Bye, Sara. I am going home. I am taking Lily with me. She is my doll now. You can keep your other dolls. I don't want to play with you anymore." She ran out of the door with Lily. + +Sara felt shocked. Shocked was when you could not believe something. She said, "Mia, wait. Don't go. Don't take Lily. She is my doll. She is not yours. Bring her back. Bring her back." She ran to the door and tried to catch Mia. + +But it was too late. Mia was gone. She had taken Lily with her. Sara could not see her anymore. She could only see her car. Her car was big and red. It had a lot of space. It had a lot of load. Load was when you put many things in something. Mia had put Lily in her car. She had taken her away. + +Sara felt hurt. Hurt was when you felt pain in your heart. She said, "Mia, why did you do that? Why did you take Lily? Why did you hurt me? You were my friend. You were not supposed to do that. You were supposed to share. You were supposed to be nice. You were supposed to play with me." She fell to the floor and cried. + +Sara cried and cried. She cried for a long time. She cried until her mom came. Her mom saw her crying and asked, "Sara, what happened? Why are you crying? Where is Mia? Where is Lily?" + +Sara told her mom everything. She told her how Mia came over. She told her how she shared her dolls with her. She told her how Mia took Lily and ran away. She told her how Mia hurt her and made her sad. + +Her mom listened and hugged her. She said, "Sara, I am so sorry. Mia was very bad. She was very rude. She was very selfish. She should not have taken Lily. She should have given her back. She should have been your friend. She should have been nice. She should have played with you." + +Sara said, "Mom, I want Lily back. I miss her. She is my favorite doll. She is +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys and books in their room. Anna is very intelligent. She likes to learn new things. Ben is very strong. He likes to run and jump. + +One day, they find a big chair in the hall. It is a new chair for their mom. Anna wants to sit on the chair and read a book. Ben wants to push the chair and make it move. They start to fight over the chair. + +"Stop, Ben! This is not a toy. This is mom's chair. You will break it!" Anna says. + +"No, Anna! This is fun. You are boring. You always read books. Let me push the chair!" Ben says. + +They pull and push the chair. They do not listen to each other. They do not share. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the hall. She sees Anna and Ben fighting over the chair. She is angry and sad. + +"Anna, Ben, what are you doing? This is not how you play. This is not how you treat the chair. This is not how you treat each other. You are twins. You should love and help each other. You should respect mom's things. You should use your intelligence and your strength for good things, not bad things." Mom says. + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They hug mom and say sorry. They hug each other and say sorry. They learn their lesson. They promise to play nicely and share. They help mom to put the chair in the living room. They sit on the chair with mom and read a book together. They are happy. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big ship that he liked to make noises with. Mia had a small doll that she liked to dress up. They were having fun, but then Ben saw something on the shelf. + +"Look, Mia, a new ship!" he said, pointing to a shiny model of a spaceship. "Can we play with it?" + +Mia looked at the shelf and shook her head. "No, Ben, that's not a toy. That's Daddy's ship. He said we can't touch it. It's very special and expensive." + +Ben frowned. He wanted to play with the new ship. He thought it looked more fun than his old ship. He decided to sneak to the shelf when Mia was not looking. He reached for the new ship and pulled it down. + +"Ben, no!" Mia shouted, seeing what he was doing. "Put it back! You'll break it!" + +But Ben did not listen. He held the new ship in his hands and examined it. He saw that it had many buttons and lights and stickers. He pressed one of the buttons and the ship made a loud sound. He smiled and pressed another button. The ship started to move and spin. + +"Wow, this is so cool!" Ben said, laughing. "This is the best ship ever!" + +Mia ran to him and tried to take the ship away. "Ben, stop it! You're hurting the ship! Give it to me!" + +But Ben did not want to share. He pushed Mia away and ran to the other side of the room. He kept playing with the new ship, making it fly and zoom and crash. He did not see that the ship was falling apart. The buttons and lights and stickers were coming off. The ship was fake. It was not a real spaceship. It was just a cheap model that Daddy had bought for decoration. + +Suddenly, the ship made a loud pop and smoke came out of it. The ship stopped working and fell to the floor. Ben looked at the broken ship and felt scared. He had ruined Daddy's ship. He had been very bad. + +Mia looked at the broken ship and felt sad. She had tried to stop Ben, but he had not listened. He had been very selfish. + +They heard the door open and Daddy came in. He saw the broken ship and the smoke and the mess. He looked at Ben and Mia and felt angry. He had told them not to touch his ship. He had been very clear. + +"Ben, Mia, what have you done?" he asked, his voice loud and stern. "You have broken my ship. You have been very naughty. You are in big trouble." +Lily was a shy girl who liked to rock on her chair. She did not like to talk to other kids or play with them. She only liked to rock and read her books. + +One evening, her mom said, "Lily, we are going to visit Aunt Jane and her family. They have a boy your age. His name is Tom. He likes to rock too. Maybe you can be friends with him." + +Lily did not want to go. She did not want to meet Tom. She did not want to share her chair. She said, "No, mom. I want to stay home. I want to rock alone." + +Her mom said, "Lily, you have to go. It is not nice to be rude to Aunt Jane. It is not good to be shy all the time. You have to try to make friends. Maybe you will like Tom. He is a nice boy." + +Lily did not listen. She cried and kicked and screamed. She did not want to go. Her mom was angry and sad. She said, "Lily, you are being very naughty. You have to go. Now get in the car." + +Lily got in the car, but she was still mad. She did not say hello to Aunt Jane or Tom. She did not smile or look at them. She ran to the corner and found a chair. She sat on it and rocked. She did not care about anyone else. + +Tom saw Lily and wanted to talk to her. He liked to rock too. He thought they could be friends. He walked to her and said, "Hi, Lily. I am Tom. Do you want to rock with me? I have another chair. We can rock together." + +Lily did not answer. She did not look at him. She rocked faster and faster. She wanted him to go away. She said, "No, Tom. I don't want to rock with you. I want to rock alone. Go away. Leave me alone." + +Tom was hurt and confused. He did not understand why Lily was so mean. He said, "Okay, Lily. I will go away. But you are missing out. Rocking is more fun with a friend." + +He left her alone and went to play with his toys. He had fun with his toys. He made noises and laughed. He was happy. + +Lily did not have fun. She rocked and rocked. She did not make noises or laugh. She was lonely. + +She looked at Tom and saw him having fun. She felt a little sorry. She thought, "Maybe I was too mean to Tom. Maybe he is a nice boy. Maybe I should have tried to be his friend. Maybe rocking is more fun with a friend." + +She wanted to say sorry to Tom. She wanted to ask him to rock with her. She wanted to be his friend. + +But it was too late. Tom did not want to talk to her anymore. He did not want to rock with her anymore. He did not want to be her friend anymore. + +He said, "No, Lily. You were mean to me. You did not want to be my friend. You did not want to rock with me. You wanted to be alone. So be alone. I don't want to be your friend. I don't want to rock with you. Go away. Leave me alone." + +Lily was sad and sorry. She cried and cried. She rocked and rocked. She was alone. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be rude to others. Don't be shy all the time. Try to make friends. Rocking is more fun with a friend. +Anna and Ben are playing on the beach. They have a big bucket and a small shovel. They dig and fill the bucket with sand. They want to make a sand castle. + +"Look, Ben, I made a tower!" Anna says. She puts the bucket upside down on the sand. A tall cone of sand comes out. + +"Wow, Anna, that's great!" Ben says. He tries to do the same, but his bucket is too full. The sand spills out and makes a mess. + +"Oh no, Ben, you made a mess!" Anna says. She laughs and throws some sand at him. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben says. He laughs too and throws some sand back at her. + +They have a fun sand fight. They throw and catch sand with their hands. They giggle and squeal. + +But then they hear a loud voice. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing?" It is their mom. She is not happy. She sees the sand on their clothes and hair and faces. + +"Mom, we are playing!" Anna says. + +"Playing? You are making a mess!" Mom says. "Come here, right now. We need to clean you up." + +Anna and Ben stop throwing sand. They look at each other. They know they are in trouble. They walk slowly to their mom. They say sorry. + +Mom sighs. She loves her kids, but they are very messy. She takes them to the water and washes them. Then she gives them a hug and a kiss. + +"Next time, be more careful with the sand, okay?" Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom," Anna and Ben say. + +They promise to be more careful. But they still love playing with sand. It is so much fun. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big log near the pond. They wanted to use it as a boat and pretend to be pirates. + +"Let's bathe the log first," Lily said. "It is dirty and has bugs on it." + +"Okay," Tom agreed. "But we need to be careful. The pond is deep and we can't swim." + +They took a bucket and filled it with water. They poured the water on the log and rubbed it with their hands. They also picked off the bugs and threw them away. + +"Look, the log is clean now," Lily said. "It is shiny and smooth." + +They pushed the log into the pond and climbed on it. They used sticks as oars and a towel as a flag. They sang pirate songs and waved to the ducks and frogs. + +They had a lot of fun on their ordinary log. They felt like they were on a big adventure. They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the porch. She smiled and thought they were very clever and brave. She also thought they would need another bath when they came back. +Anna liked to create things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of flowers, animals, and people. She liked to show her creations to her mom and dad, who always praised her and gave her hugs. + +One day, Anna wanted to create something new. She asked her mom, "Can I use your scissors and glue?" Her mom said, "Yes, but be careful. Don't cut yourself or make a mess." Anna said, "OK, thank you, mom." She took the scissors and glue and went to her room. + +She found some old magazines and newspapers in her room. She cut out different shapes and colors from them. She glued them together on a big piece of paper. She made a wonder. It was a collage of many things. She saw a house, a car, a tree, a bird, and a star. She was very happy with her wonder. + +She wanted to show her wonder to her mom and dad. She ran to the living room, where they were watching TV. She said, "Look, look, I made a wonder!" But her mom and dad were too lazy to look. They said, "Not now, Anna. We are busy. Go play with your toys." Anna felt sad. She went back to her room with her wonder. + +She put her wonder on the wall. She looked at it and smiled. She said to herself, "I like my wonder. It is beautiful. I don't need anyone to tell me that. I am proud of myself." She felt happy again. + +The moral of the story is: Creating things is fun and rewarding. You don't need others to appreciate your work. You can be proud of yourself. +Lily was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her toys and read her books. But today, she had to go to a new place. She had to go to preschool. + +She held her mom's hand as they walked to the bus stop. She saw a big yellow bus with many kids inside. She felt scared. She did not want to go on the bus. She wanted to stay with her mom. + +"Mom, I don't want to go," she said in a small voice. + +"Sweetie, it's okay. You will have fun at preschool. You will make new friends and learn new things. And I will be here to pick you up later. I promise," her mom said with a smile. + +She gave Lily a hug and a kiss. She helped her get on the bus. She waved goodbye. + +Lily sat on a seat by the window. She looked out and saw her mom. She felt sad. She missed her mom. She did not know anyone on the bus. She felt alone. + +Then, she heard a voice next to her. It was a boy with curly hair and a big smile. He had a toy car in his hand. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" he asked. + +Lily did not answer. She looked down at her lap. She had a stuffed bunny in her hand. She hugged it tight. + +Ben did not give up. He moved closer to her. He showed her his toy car. + +"This is my car. It's red and fast. Do you like cars?" he asked. + +Lily looked at his car. It was shiny and bright. She liked cars. She nodded. + +Ben smiled. He handed her his car. + +"Here, you can play with it. It's yours now. You can keep it," he said. + +Lily was surprised. She did not expect him to give her his car. She took it gently. She felt happy. + +"Thank you," she said in a soft voice. + +Ben nodded. He reached for her bunny. + +"Can I see your bunny? It's cute. What's its name?" he asked. + +Lily hesitated. She loved her bunny. It was her favorite toy. It belonged to her. But she saw that Ben was nice. He shared his car with her. She decided to share her bunny with him. + +She handed him her bunny. + +"Her name is Fluffy. She's soft and warm. You can hold her," she said. + +Ben took her bunny. He stroked its fur. He felt cozy. + +"She's very nice. Thank you," he said. + +They smiled at each other. They played with the car and the bunny. They talked and laughed. They became friends. + +Lily was not shy anymore. She did not feel scared or alone. She felt happy and safe. She belonged on the bus. She belonged with Ben. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park together. One day, they saw a big fountain in the park. It had water that went up and down. They thought it was very cute. + +"Look, Lily, the fountain is like a big shower!" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, and it makes a nice sound too!" Lily said. + +They ran to the fountain and touched the water. It was cold and wet. They laughed and splashed each other. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily saw a shiny coin at the bottom of the fountain. She wanted to have it. She reached for it, but she slipped and fell into the water. She got very wet and scared. + +"Help, Tom, help!" she cried. + +Tom heard her and ran to help her. He pulled her out of the water. He was wet too. + +"Lily, are you okay?" he asked. + +"Yes, Tom, thank you. You are a good friend." she said. + +They hugged each other. They were cold and wet, but they were happy. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that coins are not important. They learned that friends are more important. They learned to remember to be careful and not greedy. They learned to be happy with what they have. +Lila liked to spin. She spun on the grass, on the floor, on her chair. She spun so fast that everything looked blurry. She felt happy and dizzy. + +One day, she found a pair of sunglasses in her mom's purse. They were big and shiny and had different colors on the lenses. Lila put them on and looked around. She saw the world in new ways. The sky was pink, the trees were purple, the sun was green. + +She decided to spin with the sunglasses on. She thought it would be fun and funny. She spun and spun and spun. But she did not see where she was going. She bumped into the table and fell down. The sunglasses flew off her face and broke. + +Lila felt sad and hurt. She cried and cried. Her mom came and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Lila. I'm sorry you broke the sunglasses. They were flexible, but not that flexible. They were not meant for spinning. But I have a surprise for you." + +She gave Lila a new pair of sunglasses. They were smaller and fit her better. They had stars and hearts on the lenses. Lila smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love them. Can I spin with them?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. And don't spin too much. You might get sick." + +Lila nodded and put on the new sunglasses. She spun slowly and carefully. She saw the world in different ways. The stars and hearts danced and sparkled. She felt happy and dizzy. But not too dizzy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a small patch of dirt where they plant seeds. They water the seeds every day and watch them grow. + +One day, they see some green leaves poking out of the dirt. They are very happy. They run to the patch and look closely. + +"Look, Ben, our seeds are growing!" Lily says. + +"Yes, they are, Lily. They are radishes. Do you like radishes?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. I never ate a radish. What do they taste like?" Lily wonders. + +"They are crunchy and spicy. They are good for you. Do you want to try one?" Ben offers. + +"OK, let's try one. How do we get them out of the dirt?" Lily agrees. + +"We have to pull them gently. Like this." Ben shows Lily how to pull a radish out of the dirt. He wipes off the dirt and gives it to Lily. + +Lily takes a bite of the radish. She makes a funny face. She does not like the radish. It is too spicy for her. + +"Yuck, I don't like it. It is too hot in my mouth. Here, you can have it." Lily says and gives the radish back to Ben. + +Ben takes the radish and eats it. He likes the radish. It is crunchy and spicy. He smiles. + +"I like it. It is yummy. Thank you, Lily. Do you want to try something else?" Ben says. + +Lily looks around the garden. She sees some flowers blooming. They are colorful and pretty. She likes the flowers. + +"Yes, I want to try a flower. They are cute. Can we pick a flower?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, we can pick a flower. But only one. We have to leave some for the bees and the butterflies. They need the flowers too." Ben says. + +"OK, only one. Which one do you like?" Lily says. + +"I like the yellow one. It is bright and sunny. Which one do you like?" Ben says. + +"I like the pink one. It is soft and sweet. Let's pick them." Lily says. + +They pick their flowers and smell them. They are fragrant and lovely. They are happy. + +"Look, Ben, our flowers are blooming!" Lily says. + +"Yes, they are, Lily. They are beautiful. Just like you." Ben says. + +They hug and laugh. They are friends. They like to play in the garden. +Tom was a restless boy. He did not like to rest at night. He wanted to play and run and jump. He did not listen to his mom and dad when they said it was time for bed. + +One night, Tom heard a noise under his bed. He was not scared. He thought it was a toy or a cat. He got out of his bed and looked under it. He saw a big monster with sharp teeth and red eyes. The monster was hungry and angry. It wanted to eat Tom. + +Tom screamed and tried to run away. But the monster was faster and stronger. It grabbed Tom and pulled him under the bed. Tom cried and kicked and bit. But the monster did not let go. It ate Tom in one big gulp. + +Mom and dad heard Tom scream. They ran to his room. They saw the monster under the bed. They were scared and sad. They tried to fight the monster. But the monster was too big and fierce. It ate mom and dad too. + +The monster was full and happy. It rested under the bed. It did not hear the police and the firemen who came to the house. It did not care. It had eaten Tom and his mom and dad. It had no more restless nights. +Sara likes to travel with her mom and dad. They go to many places and see many things. Sara has a camera. She likes to take pictures of the places and things. + +One day, they travel to a big park. There are many animals in the park. Sara sees lions, zebras, giraffes and elephants. She takes pictures of them with her camera. She is very happy. + +But she has to be quiet. The animals do not like loud noises. They might get scared or angry. Sara's mom and dad tell her to be quiet and careful. Sara listens to them. She does not want to make the animals sad or mad. + +Sara has a lot of fun in the park. She takes many pictures with her camera. She shows them to her mom and dad. They are very proud of her. They tell her she is a good traveler and a good photographer. Sara smiles. She loves to travel with her mom and dad. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the yard. One day, they find a broken chair in the trash. They want to repair it and make it new. + +They ask their dad for a hammer and some nails. Their dad says, "Be careful with the hammer. It is heavy and hard. Do not hit your fingers or each other. And do not make too much noise. Mom is tired and needs to rest." + +Tim and Sam take the hammer and the nails and go to the yard. They try to fix the chair. They hit the nails with the hammer. They make a lot of noise. Bang! Bang! Bang! + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the yard. She sees Tim and Sam working on the chair. She says, "What are you doing, boys? You are making too much noise. You are waking up the baby. And you are making a mess. Look at all the wood and nails on the ground." + +Tim and Sam look at their mom. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to repair the chair and make it new. We wanted to surprise you and dad. We thought you would like it." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "That is very sweet of you, boys. I appreciate your effort. But you do not need to repair the chair. It is old and broken. We can get a new one. And you do not need to surprise us. We love you just the way you are. Now, let's clean up the mess and go inside. You must be tired after all this work. How about some cookies and milk?" +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a small worm that was brown and wiggly. Tom wanted to keep it as a pet. + +"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Tom said. "It is so cool. I will name it Wiggles and put it in a jar." + +Lily looked at the worm and felt sorry for it. She did not think it would be happy in a jar. She wanted to save it. + +"No, Tom, you can't keep the worm. It needs to live in the dirt. It will be sad and lonely in a jar. Please let it go," Lily said. + +Tom frowned. He liked the worm and did not want to let it go. He thought Lily was being mean. + +"But I want the worm. It is mine. I found it. You can find your own worm," Tom said. + +Lily shook her head. She knew the worm was not a toy. She tried to take it from Tom, but he held it tight. + +"Give me the worm, Tom. It is not fair. You are hurting it. Let it go," Lily said. + +Tom and Lily started to pull the worm. They both wanted it. The worm was scared and tried to wriggle away. It did not like to be pulled. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud bark. It was Rex, the big dog. He saw the worm and wanted to eat it. He ran towards Tom and Lily and jumped on them. He knocked them down and grabbed the worm in his mouth. + +Tom and Lily screamed. They were afraid of Rex. They did not want him to eat the worm. They tried to get the worm back, but Rex was too fast and strong. + +"Rex, no! Drop the worm! Bad dog!" Tom and Lily shouted. + +Rex did not listen. He ran away with the worm. He thought it was a tasty snack. He did not care about Tom and Lily. + +Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They lost the worm. They felt sorry for it. They wished they had let it go. + +They looked at each other and realized they had been silly. They had fought over the worm and made it suffer. They had not been good friends. + +They hugged and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. The worm needed to live in the dirt. I was selfish and mean," Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I should have been nicer to you. I was bossy and rude," Lily said. + +They decided to play something else. They hoped the worm was okay. They learned to be kind to animals and to each other. +Tim and Sue wanted to play on the slide in the park. They ran to the slide and saw a big boy sitting on the top. He did not let them go up the ladder. + +"Move, big boy!" Tim shouted. "We want to slide!" + +The big boy laughed and said, "No, you can't slide. This is my slide. Go away, you are ignorant!" + +Tim and Sue did not know what ignorant meant, but they felt angry and sad. They tried to push the big boy, but he was too strong. He kicked them and they fell down. + +They cried and ran to their mom. She hugged them and said, "What happened, my loves?" + +They told her about the big boy and the slide. She frowned and said, "That big boy is very rude and mean. He is the ignorant one, not you. You are smart and kind. Come, let's find another slide to play on." + +They followed their mom and saw another slide. It was smaller, but it looked fun. They stepped on the ladder and climbed up. They slid down and laughed. They had a good time. + +They forgot about the big boy and the bad slide. They were happy on the good slide. +Lily and Ben are young friends who like to play in the park. They have a favorite slide that has a loop in the middle. They take turns to go down the slide and make funny noises. + +One day, they see a big sign on the slide that says "Closed". They are sad and wonder why they cannot play on the slide anymore. They ask a man who works in the park what is wrong with the slide. + +The man says, "The slide is broken. It has a crack in the loop. It is not safe to go down. We have to fix it soon." + +Lily and Ben are disappointed. They love the slide and the loop. They ask the man, "When will you fix the slide? Can we play on it again?" + +The man smiles and says, "We will fix the slide as soon as we can. I promise you can play on it again when it is ready. But you have to be patient and wait. There are other things you can do in the park. You can swing, or climb, or run, or draw." + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Okay. We will wait. But please hurry. We miss the slide and the loop. Thank you for your promise." + +The man says, "You're welcome. You are good and polite children. I hope you have fun in the park." + +Lily and Ben wave goodbye to the man and go to find something else to play. They hope the slide and the loop will be fixed soon. They keep their promise to wait. +Lily liked to design clothes for her dolls. She had many colors of paper and scissors and glue. She cut and glued the paper to make dresses and hats and shoes. She was very good at design. + +One day, she wanted to make a new pair of shoes for her doll Anna. She found a shiny paper that looked like metal. She cut out two circles and glued them to the bottom of the paper shoes. She thought they looked like heels. She was very proud of her heels. + +She put the shoes on Anna and stood her up on the table. She wanted to show her mom her design. But Anna was not very good at standing on heels. She was clumsy. She wobbled and fell off the table. She landed on the floor with a loud thud. + +Lily ran to pick up Anna. She was worried that she hurt her doll. She saw that one of the heels was broken. She felt sad. She liked her heels. + +Her mom came to see what happened. She saw Lily holding Anna and the broken heel. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. It was an accident. Anna is okay. And your design was very pretty. You are very creative. Maybe we can fix the heel later. Or you can make a new design. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nodded. She smiled. She still liked to design. She said, "Yes, mom. I want to try. Thank you." She kissed her mom and went back to her paper and scissors and glue. She had many ideas for new designs. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and shapes, but his favorite was a big red truck. He liked to make loud noises with his truck and pretend he was driving on the road. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom and his truck. He saw a big gray animal with a long nose. He had never seen such an animal before. He asked his mom, "What is that?" + +"That is an elephant, Tom. He is very big and strong, and he can use his nose, or trunk, to pick up things and spray water," his mom said. + +Tom was curious and wanted to see the elephant closer. He ran towards the elephant with his truck, making loud noises. He did not listen to his mom, who told him to be careful and stay away. + +The elephant did not like the noise and the truck. He felt scared and angry. He used his trunk to grab the truck and toss it away. Tom was shocked and sad. He lost his favorite toy and he hurt the elephant's feelings. + +He ran back to his mom, crying. His mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. You should have listened to me. The elephant is not an ordinary animal. He is not used to loud noises and strange things. You should be gentle and respectful to him and other animals. They have feelings too, you know." + +Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, elephant. I was rude and mean. I won't do that again. Can we get my truck back?" + +His mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's say sorry to the elephant and give him a carrot. Maybe he will forgive you and be your friend." + +Tom agreed and did as his mom said. The elephant was happy and gave Tom a gentle nudge with his trunk. Tom felt happy too and learned a lesson. He learned to listen to his mom and to be kind to animals. He also learned that sometimes, the most ordinary things, like his truck, are the most precious. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They liked to make noises and pretend they were flying. Lily had a red aeroplane and Ben had a blue one. They zoomed them in the air and made loud sounds. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm faster than you!" Lily said. + +"No, you're not, I'm faster than you!" Ben said. + +They repeated this over and over, trying to catch each other's aeroplane. They did not hear their mum calling them for lunch. + +"Mum, can we play for a bit more?" Lily asked. + +"No, you can't, it's time to eat. Come inside now, or you'll be naughty." Mum said. + +Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept playing with their aeroplanes. They did not see the big cloud in the sky. They did not feel the wind getting stronger. They did not notice their aeroplanes flying away from them. + +"Hey, where's my aeroplane?" Lily cried. + +"Where's mine?" Ben cried. + +They looked up and saw their aeroplanes flying far, far away. They could not reach them. They could not get them back. They were very sad. + +"Mum, mum, our aeroplanes are gone!" Lily and Ben said. + +Mum came out and saw what happened. She was not happy. She was angry. + +"I told you to come inside, but you did not listen. You were naughty. Now you have lost your aeroplanes. That's what happens when you don't obey." Mum said. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They wished they had listened to their mum. They learned their lesson. They never repeated their mistake again. +Mira and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big sign with many colors. The sign says: "Youth Art Show. Come and see lovely paintings by children." + +"Wow, look at the sign!" Mira says. "Do you want to see the paintings?" + +"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. They hold hands and run to the art show. + +They see many paintings on the walls. Some are of animals, some are of flowers, some are of people. Mira and Ben like different paintings. + +"I like this one. It has a blue bird and a yellow sun," Mira says, pointing to a painting. + +"I like this one. It has a red car and a green tree," Ben says, pointing to another painting. + +They look at each other and smile. They think the paintings are lovely. They are happy to see what other children can do. + +They see a lady with a camera. She is taking pictures of the paintings and the children. + +"Hello, I am a reporter. I am writing a story about the youth art show. Can I take your picture?" she asks Mira and Ben. + +"Sure, why not?" Mira says. + +"OK, but only if we can make a funny face," Ben says. + +The lady laughs. She likes Mira and Ben. They are cute and funny. + +"OK, make a funny face and say cheese!" she says. + +Mira and Ben make funny faces and say cheese. The lady takes their picture. + +"Thank you, Mira and Ben. You are very good models. Can I have your names and ages for the story?" she asks. + +"I am Mira and I am three," Mira says. + +"I am Ben and I am four," Ben says. + +"Thank you, Mira and Ben. You are very smart and polite. I hope you enjoy the art show," she says. + +Mira and Ben say goodbye to the lady. They continue to look at the paintings. They have fun at the youth art show. They are proud of their picture. They are proud of their friends. They are proud of themselves. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, they found a big box in the park. They wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe it is a surprise for us!" Lily said. + +"Let's open it and see!" Ben said. + +They opened the box and saw many lemons. They were yellow and round and smelled nice. Lily and Ben each took one and bit into it. + +"Yuck!" Lily said. "This is sour!" + +"Yuck!" Ben said. "This is sour!" + +They made funny faces and spit out the lemons. They did not like them at all. + +"Who put these lemons here?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe someone wanted to trick us." + +They felt sad and angry. They did not like tricks. They wanted a nice surprise. + +They looked around and saw a boy hiding behind a tree. He was laughing and pointing at them. + +"Ha ha ha!" he said. "You ate the lemons! You are silly!" + +Lily and Ben felt hurt. They did not like the boy. He was mean. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily said. "That is not nice!" + +"Yeah, stop that!" Ben said. "That is not funny!" + +The boy stopped laughing and looked scared. He saw that Lily and Ben were bigger than him. He did not want them to be mad at him. + +"I'm sorry," he said. "I was just joking. Please don't be mad at me." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were still sad and angry, but they also felt sorry for the boy. He looked lonely and sad too. + +"OK," Lily said. "We forgive you. But don't do that again." + +"OK," Ben said. "We forgive you. But next time, give us something nice." + +The boy smiled and nodded. He felt happy and relieved. He wanted to be friends with Lily and Ben. + +"Thank you," he said. "Can I play with you?" + +Lily and Ben smiled and nodded. They felt happy and kind. They wanted to be friends with the boy. + +"Sure," Lily said. "What do you want to play?" + +"Sure," Ben said. "We have dolls and cars and books." + +They took the boy to their toys and played together. They had fun and laughed and shared. They forgot about the lemons and the trick. They found a new surprise. They found a new friend. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a camera in the grass. It is shiny and black. + +"Look, a camera!" Anna says. "Can we take pictures?" + +"Let's try!" Ben says. He pushes a button. The camera makes a click sound. + +They laugh and take turns with the camera. They take pictures of the trees, the flowers, the birds, and each other. + +"Let's go to the pond!" Anna says. "Maybe we can see some frogs!" + +"Okay!" Ben says. He holds Anna's hand. He leads her to the pond. They are careful not to step on the rocks. + +They see some frogs near the water. They are green and brown. They hop and croak. + +"Wow, frogs!" Anna says. She points the camera at them. "Say cheese, frogs!" + +But the frogs are shy. They jump into the pond. Splash! + +Anna and Ben get wet. They giggle and wipe their faces. + +"Oops, sorry, frogs!" Anna says. She looks at the camera. It is wet too. + +"Is the camera okay?" Ben asks. He takes the camera from Anna. He shakes it gently. + +The camera makes a beep sound. The screen shows a picture of a frog. + +"Look, it works!" Anna says. She claps her hands. "We have a picture of a frog!" + +"Yay!" Ben says. He hugs Anna. "We are good photographers!" + +They are happy. They take the camera back to their house. They show their pictures to their mom and dad. They are proud. + +Mom and dad smile and praise them.

They love their pictures. They love their frogs. They love each other. They are friends. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys and eat yummy food. One day, Mom made them pasta and cheese for lunch. She gave them each a plate and a fork. + +"Be careful with your forks, boys. Don't poke yourself or each other," Mom said. + +"Yes, Mom," Tom and Sam said. + +But Sam was naughty. He wanted to make Tom angry. He took his fork and poked Tom's arm. + +"Ow! That hurts!" Tom cried. "Stop it, Sam!" + +"Ha ha, you are a baby!" Sam laughed. He poked Tom again. + +"Sam, mind your fork!" Mom said. "That is not nice. Say sorry to Tom." + +"No, I won't!" Sam said. He poked Tom harder. + +Tom was very sad and angry. He grabbed his fork and poked Sam back. + +"Ow! That hurts more!" Sam cried. "Stop it, Tom!" + +But Tom did not stop. He poked Sam again and again. + +"Tom, Sam, stop it right now!" Mom said. She ran to them and tried to take their forks away. + +But it was too late. Tom and Sam had poked each other so much that they had made holes in their arms and legs. They were bleeding and hurting. + +Mom was very scared and confused. She did not know what to do. She called for help. + +"Help! Help! My boys are hurt!" Mom shouted. + +But no one heard her. No one came to help. Tom and Sam kept bleeding and crying. They wished they had listened to Mom and minded their forks. But it was too late. They had poked each other to death. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and listen to the radio. The radio plays songs and stories that make them happy. + +One day, the radio stops working. Tom and Mia are sad. They try to turn it on and off, but nothing happens. They ask their mom for help. + +"Mom, the radio is broken. Can you fix it?" Tom says. + +"I'm sorry, my loves. The radio is very old. It needs new batteries, but we don't have any. We have to wait until we go to the store," Mom says. + +Tom and Mia are angry. They want to listen to the radio now. They start to fight over the radio. They pull and push and shout. + +"Give me the radio! It's mine!" Tom says. + +"No, it's mine! You broke it!" Mia says. + +"Stop it, both of you! You are being very naughty. The radio is for sharing, not for fighting. If you can't play nicely, you have to go to your rooms," Mom says. + +Tom and Mia are bitter. They don't want to go to their rooms. They want to play with the radio. They miss the songs and stories. They miss each other. They cry and sulk. + +After a while, they feel sorry. They realize they were wrong. They love each other more than the radio. They hug and say sorry. + +"Tom, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I miss you," Mia says. + +"Mia, I'm sorry I pulled the radio. I miss you, too," Tom says. + +They go to Mom and say sorry, too. Mom smiles and hugs them. + +"I'm proud of you, my loves. You learned a good lesson. Sometimes things break, but love never does. You can always find other ways to have fun and be happy," Mom says. + +She gives them some books and crayons. They go to the living room and read and draw. They forget about the radio. They are happy. +Tom and Ben were friends who liked to play. One day, they found a gun in a box in the garage. They did not know what it was, but it looked shiny and fun. + +"Let's play with it!" Tom said. He took the gun and pointed it at Ben. "Bang, bang, you are dead!" + +Ben was scared and angry. He did not like Tom's game. He grabbed the gun from Tom and ran away. "Give it back!" Tom shouted. He chased Ben to the garden. + +In the garden, there was a big, hairy dog. The dog saw Ben with the gun and thought it was a toy. He barked and jumped at Ben. Ben was very afraid. He dropped the gun and cried. + +Tom saw what happened and felt sorry. He ran to Ben and hugged him. "I'm sorry, Ben. I was bad. The gun is not a toy. It is dangerous. We should not play with it." + +The dog picked up the gun in his mouth and ran away. Tom and Ben never saw the gun again. They learned a lesson. They decided to play with safe and nice things, like balls and cars. They were friends again. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with things you do not know. They can hurt you or others. Be kind and share with your friends. +Lily liked to play with her colorful toys in the kitchen. She had a red car, a yellow ball, a blue bear and a green frog. She made them talk to each other and have fun. Sometimes she pretended they were cooking or having a picnic. + +One day, her mom said she had to go to the store and asked Lily to stay with her dad. Lily said okay and gave her mom a hug. She went back to the kitchen and continued playing with her toys. Her dad was working on his laptop in the living room. + +After a while, Lily got bored of playing alone. She wanted to see what her dad was doing. She picked up her toys and carried them to the living room. She put them on the floor and said, "Hi, dad. Can I play with you?" + +Her dad looked up from his laptop and smiled. He said, "Hi, Lily. I'm sorry, but I have to finish some work. Why don't you play with your toys here? I'll be done soon." + +Lily nodded and tried to play with her toys again. But she missed her mom and the kitchen. She felt sad and lonely. She wished her dad would play with her. + +She looked at her toys and had an idea. She said, "Dad, can I show you something?" + +Her dad said, "Sure, what is it?" + +Lily said, "Come with me." She took her dad's hand and led him to the kitchen. She said, "Look, dad. This is my kitchen. I have a red car, a yellow ball, a blue bear and a green frog. They are my friends. They like to cook and have a picnic. Do you want to join us?" + +Her dad said, "Wow, Lily. Your kitchen is very colorful and nice. Your friends are very cute. I would love to join you." + +Lily smiled and clapped her hands. She said, "Yay, dad. Thank you. Let's play together." + +She gave her dad a toy and they sat on the floor. They pretended to cook and have a picnic. They made funny noises and laughed. They had a lot of fun. + +Lily felt happy and cozy. She said, "Dad, I love you. You are the best." + +Her dad said, "I love you too, Lily. You are the best." + +They hugged each other and settled in the kitchen. They waited for mom to come back. They were a happy family. +Tom liked to print pictures with his crayons. He had many colors and he made animals and flowers and cars. He was very proud of his pictures and he showed them to his mom and dad. + +One day, he wanted to print a big picture of a dragon. He took a big paper and his green and red and yellow crayons. He started to print the dragon's head and body and tail and wings. He was very happy with his picture. + +But then, he made a mistake. He pressed too hard with his red crayon and it broke. The tip of the crayon flew out of his hand and landed on the carpet. The carpet was white and now it had a big red spot. + +Tom was very anxious. He knew his mom and dad would be angry. He tried to pick up the crayon tip, but it was stuck in the carpet. He tried to rub the spot, but it only made it bigger. He did not know what to do. + +He heard his mom coming up the stairs. He quickly hid the paper and the crayons under his bed. He hoped his mom would not see the spot. He pretended to be asleep on his pillow. He closed his eyes and waited. +Anna loved music. She liked to sing and dance and clap her hands. She wanted to play an instrument, like her big sister. Her big sister played the flute. It was a long, shiny thing that made pretty sounds when she blew into it. + +One day, Anna found her sister's flute on the table. She was curious. She wanted to examine it. She picked it up and looked at it. It had many holes and buttons. She tried to blow into it, but nothing happened. She pressed some buttons, but still nothing happened. She wondered how her sister made it work. + +She did not hear her sister come into the room. Her sister was angry. She shouted at Anna. "That's my flute! Give it back! You don't know how to play it! You might break it!" She snatched the flute from Anna's hands. Anna was scared and sad. She started to cry. + +Her sister felt sorry. She saw that Anna was only curious. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to yell at you. I just love my flute very much. It was a gift from grandma. She was a famous flute player. She taught me how to play it. Do you want to learn, too?" + +Anna nodded. She wiped her tears. She said, "Yes, please. I love music, too. Can you teach me how to play the flute?" Her sister smiled. She said, "Of course. But first, you have to be careful with it. It's very delicate. And you have to practice a lot. It's not easy. But it's fun. Come, I'll show you." She took Anna's hand and led her to the couch. She gave her the flute and helped her hold it. She showed her how to blow into it and press the buttons. Together, they made some pretty sounds. Anna was happy. She thanked her sister. Her sister hugged her. They played the flute for a long time. They made music. +Anna and Ben went to the grocery with Mom. They liked to see all the different things to eat. Mom gave them each a small basket to help her shop. + +"Can we get some cookies, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe later, Ben. First we need to get some bread and milk and eggs," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben followed Mom to the dairy aisle. They saw a big fridge with a glass door. Inside the fridge, there were many cartons of milk. Mom opened the door and reached for a carton. + +Suddenly, a loud noise made them jump. It was a cow! A cow was inside the fridge, mooing and shaking its head. Anna and Ben dropped their baskets and screamed. They were very scared. + +"Mom, there's a cow in the fridge!" Anna cried. + +Mom looked inside the fridge and laughed. It was not a real cow. It was a toy cow that someone had put there as a joke. It had a button that made it moo when you pressed it. + +"Don't be scared, Anna and Ben. It's just a silly toy. Someone was trying to be funny," Mom said. She took the toy cow out of the fridge and showed it to them. + +Anna and Ben felt silly too. They stopped screaming and started to giggle. They were not scared anymore. + +"Can we play with the cow, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben. But only for a little while. We still need to finish our shopping. And I'm hungry. How about you?" Mom asked. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They were hungry too. They put the toy cow in their basket and followed Mom to the checkout. They hoped to find some cookies on the way. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they have a big fight. Ben takes Sam's red car and Sam pulls Ben's hair. They yell and cry. + +"Give me back my car!" Sam says. + +"No, it is mine now!" Ben says. + +They are very angry and sad. They do not want to play together anymore. + +Mom sees them and talks to them. She tells them to share and be nice. She says they should say sorry and forgive each other. She says they are good friends and they should not fight. + +Ben and Sam listen to Mom. They feel sorry for what they did. They look at each other. + +"I am sorry I took your car, Sam," Ben says. + +"I am sorry I pulled your hair, Ben," Sam says. + +They hug and forgive each other. They smile and play with the cars and balls again. They are happy. + +Mom is happy too. She gives them a hug and a kiss. She says she loves them. She has a bald nose. She says it is because she is sick. She says it will grow back soon. + +Ben and Sam touch her nose. They say they love her too. They say they do not care if she has a bald nose. They say she is still the best mom ever. +Anna and Ben were very excited to see the fireworks. They put on their warm coats and hats and went outside with Mom and Dad. They saw many people and cars on the street. They heard loud noises and saw bright colors in the sky. + +"Wow, look at that one!" Ben said, pointing at a big firework that was red and green and yellow. "It looks like a flower!" + +Anna nodded and clapped her hands. She liked the fireworks too, but she wanted to see a pink one. Pink was her favorite color. She looked around and hoped to see a pink firework soon. + +"Maybe there will be a pink one at the end," Mom said, holding Anna's hand. "Sometimes they save the best for last." + +Anna smiled and waited. She watched the fireworks go up and down, and make different shapes and sounds. She saw blue ones, and purple ones, and orange ones, but no pink ones. + +Then, she saw it. A big, bright, beautiful pink firework. It was the biggest one of all. It filled the whole sky with pink light. Anna gasped and pointed. + +"Look, look, Mom, Dad, Ben, look!" she shouted. "A pink firework! It's so pretty!" + +They all looked and smiled. They agreed that it was the prettiest firework they had ever seen. Anna was very happy. She felt like the pink firework was for her. + +But then, the pink firework started to fade. It became smaller and smaller, until it was just a tiny dot. Then, it vanished. It was gone. + +Anna felt sad. She wanted the pink firework to stay. She wanted to see it again. + +"Where did it go?" she asked, with a frown. + +Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, sweetie. Fireworks are like that. They only last for a little while, but they make us happy and amazed. We can remember them in our minds and hearts." + +Anna nodded. She understood. She still liked the pink firework, even if it vanished. She decided to make a picture of it when she got home. She looked at the sky and said, "Thank you, pink firework. You were the best." +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in their room. But their room is not tidy. There are toys and books and clothes everywhere. + +One day, Mom says, "Ben and Mia, you have to tidy your room. It is too messy. I will check on you in ten minutes." She gives them a note with a smiley face. "This is for you when you finish. Now hurry up!" + +Ben and Mia start to tidy their room. But they do not agree on how to do it. Ben wants to put everything in the big box. Mia wants to sort everything by color and shape. They argue and fight. + +"No, no, no!" Mia says. "You have to do it my way. It is better. It is fun. Look, this is a red ball. It goes with the other red things." + +"No, no, no!" Ben says. "You have to do it my way. It is faster. It is easy. Look, this is a note. It goes in the big box with everything else." + +They pull and push and shout. They do not listen to each other. They do not notice that the note falls out of the box and under the bed. + +Mom comes back to check on them. She sees the room is still messy. She sees Ben and Mia are still fighting. She is not happy. + +"Ben and Mia, what are you doing?" she asks. "Why is your room not tidy? Where is the note I gave you?" + +Ben and Mia stop fighting. They look around. They do not see the note. They feel sad. They lost the note. They lost the smiley face. + +They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They decide to work together. They tidy their room. They find the note under the bed. They are happy. They show the note to Mom. Mom is happy. She gives them a hug and a kiss. She says, "Well done, Ben and Mia. You learned to cooperate. You made your room tidy. You earned the smiley face. And you earned a treat. How about some ice cream?" + +Ben and Mia smile. They say, "Yes, please!" They love ice cream. They love Mom. They love each other. They are happy. The end. +Tim and Sam are best friends. They like to play with their toy cars and trucks. One day, they find a big gray van in the park. It looks old and dirty. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's go see!" Tim says. He runs to the van and opens the door. Sam follows him. They see a lot of boxes and bags. They also see a shiny thing on the seat. It looks like a gun. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tim says. He picks up the gun and points it at Sam. "Bang, bang, you're dead!" + +Sam laughs. He thinks it is a toy. He says, "No, I'm not! You missed me!" + +Tim pulls the trigger. He does not know it is a real gun. He hears a loud noise. He sees smoke and fire. He sees Sam fall down. He sees blood. He is scared. He drops the gun and screams. + +A man comes out of the park. He hears the noise and the scream. He sees the van and the boys. He sees the gun and the blood. He knows it is his van and his gun. He is angry. He runs to the van and yells, "What have you done? You stupid kids! You shot my partner!" + +He grabs the gun and points it at Tim. He is about to shoot him. But then he hears sirens. He sees police cars and lights. He knows he is in trouble. He drops the gun and runs away. + +The police come to the van. They see the boys and the gun. They see the boxes and bags. They open them and find drugs and money. They realize the van belongs to bad guys. They call an ambulance for Sam. They hope he will be okay. + +Tim cries and cries. He is sorry. He did not mean to shoot Sam. He did not know it was a real gun. He wishes he never saw the van. He wishes he never played with the gun. He wishes he could go back to playing with his toy cars and trucks. He wishes he could be best friends with Sam again. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they quarrel. One day, they go to the park with their mom. Mom buys them ice-cream cones. Sara chooses chocolate and Ben chooses vanilla. + +"Can I have a lick of your ice-cream?" Ben asks Sara. + +"No, this is mine. You have your own," Sara says. + +"But I want to try yours. It looks yummy," Ben says. + +He reaches for Sara's cone, but Sara pulls it away. They start to quarrel. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. "You should share and be nice to each other. Ice-cream is for enjoying, not for fighting." + +She takes their cones and gives them each a half of the other's flavor. + +"Here, now you can have both. Try it and see if you like it," she says. + +Sara and Ben take a bite of their new ice-creams. They smile. + +"Mmm, this is good. Thank you, Mom," Sara says. + +"Yes, thank you, Mom. And I'm sorry, Sara. Can we be friends again?" Ben says. + +"Of course, Ben. I'm sorry, too. You are my best friend," Sara says. + +They hug and lick their ice-creams. Mom smiles and says, "That's fine. I'm glad you are happy now. Let's go and play on the swings." +Sam was a lazy boy. He did not like to play or run or help. He only liked to sit and watch TV and eat cookies. He ate many cookies every day. He did not share them with his sister or his dog. He hid them under his bed and in his closet. + +One day, Sam's mom told him to go outside and play. She said he was getting too big and too lazy. She said he needed to move and have fun. She said he could not have any more cookies until he did. Sam did not listen. He said he did not want to go outside. He said he wanted to watch TV and eat cookies. + +Sam's mom was angry. She took away his TV and his cookies. She said he had to go outside and play for one hour. She said he could have one cookie when he came back. Sam was sad and mad. He did not want to go outside. He wanted to watch TV and eat cookies. + +Sam went outside. He saw his sister and his dog playing in the yard. They were running and jumping and laughing. They looked happy. Sam did not join them. He sat on the porch and pouted. He waited for one hour. He wanted to go back inside and watch TV and eat cookies. + +After one hour, Sam went back inside. He asked his mom for a cookie. His mom said he could have one cookie. She gave him a small cookie. Sam was not happy. He wanted a big cookie. He said his cookie was too small. He said he deserved a big cookie. He said he was hungry. + +Sam's mom said he was not hungry. She said he was greedy. She said he ate too many cookies. She said he needed to eat healthy food. She said he needed to play more and be less lazy. She said he would gain weight and get sick if he only ate cookies. She said he should be thankful for his small cookie. + +Sam did not understand. He did not care about healthy food or playing or being thankful. He only cared about cookies. He threw his small cookie on the floor. He said he hated his mom. He said he hated his sister and his dog. He said he hated going outside. He said he only loved cookies. + +Sam's mom was very sad. She did not know what to do with Sam. She hoped he would change his mind and be less lazy and more happy. She hoped he would learn to love other things besides cookies. She hoped he would not gain too much weight and get sick. She loved Sam very much. She wanted him to be healthy and happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big envelope in the cupboard. It had a stamp and an address on it. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it and see," said Ben. + +"No, we can't," said Anna. "It's not ours. It's for Mom. She said she was waiting for a letter from Grandma." + +"But I'm curious," said Ben. "Maybe it's a present or a card or a picture. Mom won't mind if we take a peek." + +"Yes, she will," said Anna. "She will be sad and angry if we break her letter. That's not honest. We have to mail it for her." + +Anna took the envelope and ran to the door. Ben followed her, still wanting to open it. He tried to grab it from her, but she held it tight. They tugged and pulled until the envelope ripped and the letter fell out. + +"Oh no!" they both cried. They saw that the letter was from Grandma, who was sick and lonely. She wrote that she loved Mom and missed her very much. She also sent a photo of herself and a flower. + +They felt very sorry and ashamed. They knew they had done a bad thing. They tried to fix the envelope with tape, but it looked messy and torn. They didn't know what to do. + +They decided to tell Mom the truth. They waited for her to come home and showed her the letter. They said they were sorry and that they wanted to mail it for her, but they were too curious and opened it. + +Mom was upset and disappointed. She said they should have respected her privacy and trusted her. She said they had hurt Grandma's feelings and wasted the stamp. She said they had to learn to be honest and careful. + +She also hugged them and said she loved them. She said she was glad they told her the truth and didn't hide it. She said they could still mail the letter, but they had to write a note to Grandma and apologize. She said Grandma would forgive them and love them too. + +Anna and Ben felt better. They wrote a note to Grandma and said they were sorry and that they loved her. They put it in a new envelope with the letter and the photo and the flower. They went to the mailbox and mailed it for Mom. They hoped Grandma would be happy and get well soon. + +They learned their lesson. They never opened other people's mail again. They were honest and respectful. They also wrote more letters to Grandma and told her about their games and stories. Grandma wrote back and said she was proud of them and happy to hear from them. They became closer and happier as a family. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Look, there is a string on the tree!" Lily said. She pointed to a thin, brown string that hung from a branch. "Maybe it is a swing!" + +Ben ran to the string and pulled it. He hoped it was a swing, too. But nothing happened. The string was just a string. + +"Maybe it is a trap!" Ben said. He pointed to a hole in the tree. "Maybe there is a squirrel inside, and the string is for catching it!" + +Lily walked to the hole and peeked inside. She saw something shiny and round. It was not a squirrel. It was a bell! + +"It is not a trap, it is a bell!" Lily said. She pointed to the shiny thing. "Maybe someone put it there for fun!" + +Ben and Lily decided to ring the bell and see what would happen. They pulled the string together and heard a loud ding-dong. They laughed and pulled the string again. They liked the sound of the bell. + +But then they heard another sound. It was a voice. + +"Hey, who is ringing my bell?" The voice said. It came from the tree. Ben and Lily looked up and saw a face. It was a man. He was not an ordinary man. He had a long beard and a pointy hat. He was a wizard! + +Ben and Lily were scared. They let go of the string and ran away. They did not want to play with the wizard's bell. They learned that some strings are not for swinging. Some strings are for magic. +Sara and Ben are playing with a ball in the park. They like to pass the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they miss and the ball rolls away. Then they run after it and laugh. + +One time, the ball rolls near a big dog. The dog is lying on the grass and looks sad. He has no collar and his fur is dirty. Sara and Ben think he is poor and has no home. + +"Hello, dog," Sara says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog lifts his head and wags his tail. He likes Sara's voice. He gets up and walks to them. He sniffs the ball and licks it with his mouth. + +"Good boy," Ben says. "You can have the ball. We have another one." + +The dog barks happily and takes the ball in his mouth. He runs around the park with it and comes back to Sara and Ben. He drops the ball and waits for them to pass it to him. + +Sara and Ben smile and play with the dog. They think he is friendly and fun. They decide to call him Spot and take him home with them. They hope their mom and dad will let them keep him. They think Spot is not poor anymore. He has a ball and two friends. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys. Anna had a box of cards with pictures of animals on them. Ben had a box of cards with pictures of clowns on them. They wanted to play a game of matching the cards. + +"Let's match the cards, Ben," Anna said. "You show me a clown card, and I show you an animal card that looks like the clown." + +"OK, Anna," Ben said. "That sounds fun." + +They took turns showing each other cards. Anna showed Ben a card with a lion on it. Ben showed Anna a card with a clown with a big mane of yellow hair. They matched. + +"Good match, Ben," Anna said. "The clown and the lion have the same hair." + +"Thank you, Anna," Ben said. "Your turn." + +Ben showed Anna a card with a clown with a red nose. Anna looked at her cards. She had a card with a monkey on it. The monkey had a brown nose. + +"Anna, show me your card," Ben said. + +Anna did not want to show Ben her card. She wanted to win the game. She was selfish. + +"No, Ben," Anna said. "I don't have a match. You lose." + +Ben was sad. He did not like Anna's lie. He knew she had a match. + +"Anna, that's not fair," Ben said. "You have a match. I can see it. The monkey and the clown have the same nose." + +Anna did not listen to Ben. She put her cards away. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. + +Ben was angry. He did not want to play with Anna anymore. He took his cards and went to find another friend. He did not like selfish people. He liked honest people. +Sara liked to chew on prunes. She liked how they were sweet and soft and made her mouth feel good. She had a big bag of prunes that her grandma gave her. She said they were good for her tummy. + +One day, Sara went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy playing with a shiny red car. She wanted to play with him. She walked over and said, "Hi, I'm Sara. Can I play with you?" + +The boy looked at her and said, "No, you can't. This is my car. It's very rich and expensive. You can't touch it. You look poor and dirty. What are you eating?" + +Sara showed him her bag of prunes. She said, "These are prunes. They are yummy and healthy. Do you want one?" + +The boy made a face and said, "Ew, no. Prunes are gross and old. They are for old people like your grandma. You can keep your prunes. I don't want them." + +Sara felt sad and hurt. She said, "You are mean and rude. Prunes are not gross and old. They are delicious and nice. You don't know what you are missing. And my grandma is not old. She is wise and kind. She loves me and gives me prunes. You are not my friend. I don't want to play with you." + +Sara turned around and walked away. She found a bench and sat down. She opened her bag of prunes and ate one. She smiled and said, "Mmm, prunes are the best. I don't need a rich car. I have rich prunes. And I have a rich grandma. And I have a rich mom. And I have a rich heart." +Lily liked to play with her mirror. She would make funny faces and see how they looked. She would pretend to be a princess or a monster or a clown. She would laugh and giggle at herself. + +One day, her brother Max came into her room. He wanted to play with the mirror too. He grabbed it from Lily and ran away. Lily was angry and sad. She chased after Max and shouted, "Give it back! Give it back!" + +Max ran into the living room, where Mom and Dad were. He held the mirror high and said, "Look at me! Look at me!" He jumped on the couch and bounced up and down. He did not see the lamp on the table. + +The lamp fell over and hit the mirror. The mirror broke into many pieces. Max and Lily heard a loud crash and saw the glass on the floor. They were scared and sorry. Mom and Dad were mad and sad. They came to see what happened. + +Mom and Dad scolded Max and Lily. They said, "You were naughty and careless. You broke the mirror and made a mess. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. You have to be patient and share your toys. Now you have to clean up and go to your room. No more playing with the mirror for a long time." Max and Lily cried and said, "We're sorry. We're sorry." But it was too late. The mirror was gone and they were in trouble. They wished they had been nicer and smarter. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big swing in the park. Anna and Ben take turns to swing high and fast. They have fun. + +One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Dan. He is wild. He runs to the swing and pushes Anna off. He says, "This is my swing. Go away!" Anna falls to the ground and cries. Ben is angry. He says, "That is not nice. You have to share. Anna was here first." Dan does not listen. He swings higher and higher. He laughs. + +Anna and Ben go to Anna's house. They tell Anna's mom what happened. Anna's mom hugs them and says, "I'm sorry. Dan is not a good friend. He is rude and mean. You are good friends. You are kind and fair. You should always treat others the way you want to be treated." + +The next day, Anna and Ben go back to the park. They see Dan on the swing. He is alone. He looks sad. He says, "Can I play with you? I'm sorry I was wild. I want to be your friend." Anna and Ben think for a moment. They remember what Anna's mom said. They say, "Okay. You can play with us. But you have to be nice. You have to share. You have to take turns." Dan nods. He says, "Thank you. I will." They all go to the swing and swing together. They have fun. + +The end. +Anna liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was her tea set. She liked to pour water from the pot into the cups and pretend to drink tea with her dolls. She was very organized. She always put her toys back in the box when she was done. + +One day, Anna wanted to play tea party with her friend Ben. She invited him to her house and showed him her tea set. Ben liked the tea set too. He said, "Can I pour the water?" Anna said, "Yes, but be careful. Don't spill it." + +Ben took the pot and poured the water into the cups. But he poured too fast and too much. The water spilled over the cups and onto the table. Anna was upset. She said, "Ben, you made a mess! You have to pour slowly and gently." + +Ben felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to. I just wanted to play with you." Anna saw that Ben was sad. She remembered that he was her friend. She said, "It's okay, Ben. We can clean it up together. Then we can play something else." + +Anna and Ben wiped the water with a cloth. They put the tea set back in the box. Then they decided to play with Anna's blocks. They built a tower and a bridge and a house. They had fun. They learned to share and to be careful. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to pretend that the dolls were their babies and they were the mommies and daddies. Lily had a pink doll with a dress and Tom had a blue doll with a hat. + +"Look at my baby, she is so pretty and nice," Lily said, holding her doll. "She can sing and dance and smile." + +"My baby is better, he is so strong and brave," Tom said, holding his doll. "He can run and jump and climb." + +They started to argue about whose doll was better. They raised their voices and said mean things to each other. + +"No, my baby is better, your baby is ugly and silly," Lily said. + +"No, your baby is worse, my baby is smart and cool," Tom said. + +They got so angry that they threw their dolls at each other. Lily's doll hit Tom's face and Tom's doll hit Lily's hair. They both felt a sharp pain and started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow, you hurt me, you are bad," Lily said, rubbing her hair. + +"Ow, ow, ow, you hurt me, you are bad," Tom said, rubbing his face. + +They were so mad that they slapped each other. Lily slapped Tom's cheek and Tom slapped Lily's arm. They both felt another pain and cried louder. + +"Ow, ow, ow, you slapped me, you are mean," Lily said. + +"Ow, ow, ow, you slapped me, you are mean," Tom said. + +They were about to slap each other again when they heard a loud voice. + +"Stop, stop, stop, what are you doing?" It was Mom, who came to see what was wrong. She saw the dolls on the ground and the red marks on Lily's and Tom's faces and arms. She was not happy. + +"Why are you fighting? Why are you hurting each other? Why are you throwing and slapping?" Mom asked. + +Lily and Tom looked at Mom and felt ashamed. They knew they did something wrong. They lowered their heads and said nothing. + +Mom picked up the dolls and gave them back to Lily and Tom. She said, "These are your dolls, not your babies. They are toys, not real. You should not treat them badly. You should not treat each other badly. You are siblings, not enemies. You should love and respect each other. You should say sorry and hug each other." + +Lily and Tom looked at each other and felt sorry. They knew Mom was right. They said, "Sorry, sorry, sorry," and hugged each other. + +Mom smiled and said, "That's better. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies. And next time, play nicely, okay?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay." They followed Mom inside, holding their dolls and each other's hands. + +The result was that they learned a lesson and became friends again. They also learned a new word: slap. But they promised not to use it again. They liked hug better. +Sam and Mia liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also made a maze with snow walls. They had fun running and hiding in the maze. + +But the sun was very bright and warm. It made the snow melt. The snowman's hat and scarf fell off. The snow walls became smaller and smaller. Sam and Mia saw water everywhere. + +"Oh no, our snowman and our maze are going away!" Sam said. + +"Let's go inside and have some hot chocolate," Mia said. "Maybe we can play again tomorrow." + +They ran to the house and knocked on the door. Mom opened the door and smiled. + +"Hello, my little snowflakes. You look very wet and cold. Come in and warm up," Mom said. + +She gave them hot chocolate and cookies. They drank and ate and told Mom about their snowman and their maze. + +"Don't worry, there will be more snow soon. You can make another snowman and another maze. But today, you can play with your regular toys. How about that?" Mom said. + +Sam and Mia nodded. They thanked Mom and went to their room. They played with their regular toys, but they also dreamed of the snow. +Ben and Lily went to the farm with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see the animals and play in the hay. They had a big bag with snacks and toys. Mom said they had to unpack the bag and put it in the barn. + +"Can we unpack now, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Not yet, Ben. First we have to say hello to the farmer and his friendly pig," Mom said. + +They walked to the farmhouse and saw a big pink pig in the yard. The pig was eating some corn and making funny noises. The farmer came out and smiled at them. + +"Hello, I'm Farmer Joe. This is my pig, Penny. She is very friendly and likes to be petted. Do you want to pet her?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. She ran to the pig and stroked her soft fur. Penny snorted and wagged her tail. + +"Can I pet her too?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, Ben. She likes children. Just be gentle and don't pull her ears," Farmer Joe said. + +Ben joined Lily and petted the pig. Penny licked his hand and made him giggle. + +"They are so cute, Mom. Can we keep them?" Lily asked. + +Mom laughed and shook her head. + +"No, Lily. We can't keep them. They belong to Farmer Joe and they are happy here. But we can visit them again sometime," Mom said. + +"OK, Mom. But can we unpack now? I'm hungry and I want to play with my truck," Ben said. + +"Sure, Ben. Let's go to the barn and unpack. Maybe we can share some snacks with Penny later," Mom said. + +They said goodbye to Farmer Joe and Penny and went to the barn. They unpacked the bag and ate some cookies and juice. Then they played with their toys and had fun in the hay. They had a great day at the farm. +Mia and Leo were anxious. They wanted to spend Tuesday with Grandma, but she was sick. Mom said they had to stay home and be quiet. + +"Can we play with our toys?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, but not too loud. Grandma needs to rest," Mom said. + +Mia and Leo nodded. They took their toys to the living room and started to play. Mia had a doll and Leo had a car. They made up stories and pretended to go on adventures. + +But soon they got bored. They missed Grandma and her stories. They wanted to hug her and make her feel better. + +"Can we see Grandma?" Leo asked. + +"Not now, sweetie. She is sleeping," Mom said. + +Mia and Leo sighed. They looked out the window and saw the sun shining. They wished they could go outside and play in the park. + +"Can we go to the park?" Mia asked. + +"Maybe later, honey. We have to wait for Grandma to wake up," Mom said. + +Mia and Leo felt sad. They wanted to spend Tuesday with Grandma, but they had to stay home and be quiet. They hoped Grandma would get well soon. They loved her very much. +Sara likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has long hair and a fancy dress. Sara likes to brush Lily's hair and make her look pretty. + +One day, Sara decides to bathe Lily. She fills a big bowl with water and soap. She puts Lily in the bowl and washes her hair and dress. She thinks Lily will be happy and clean. + +But Lily is not happy. She does not like water and soap. Her hair gets wet and tangled. Her dress gets soaked and dirty. Lily cries and cries. Sara is sad. She does not know what to do. + +Sara's mom hears Lily's cries. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Sara and Lily in the bowl. She smiles and hugs Sara. She says, "Don't worry, Sara. Lily will be fine. We can dry her hair and dress. We can comb her hair and make her look pretty again. You are a good girl. You wanted to take care of Lily. But some dolls don't like to bathe. They like to stay dry and fancy." + +Sara nods and smiles. She says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. You are my favorite doll. You are still pretty and fancy." She kisses Lily and hugs her mom. She learns a new thing. She learns that some dolls don't like to bathe. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to jump on the swings, slide down the slide and run around the grass. They saw a big ice cream truck near the gate. It had many colors and pictures of different creams on it. + +"Look, Ben, ice cream!" Lily said. "Can we have some, please?" + +Ben nodded. He loved ice cream too. They ran to the truck and waited in line. There were many other children who wanted ice cream. They had to be patient and wait for their turn. + +When they got to the front, they saw a nice man with a big hat and a smile. He asked them what kind of cream they wanted. + +"I want chocolate cream, please," Lily said. + +"I want strawberry cream, please," Ben said. + +The man nodded and took out two cones. He put a big scoop of cream on each cone. He handed them to Lily and Ben. + +"Here you go, kids. Enjoy your ice cream," he said. + +"Thank you, mister," Lily and Ben said. They took their cones and walked back to the park. They licked their creams and smiled. They were very yummy and cold. + +But then, they saw a big dog running towards them. It was brown and furry and had a long tongue. It looked hungry and curious. It wanted to taste their creams too. + +"Uh-oh, Ben, look out!" Lily said. "The dog wants our ice cream!" + +Ben saw the dog and got scared. He tried to run away, but he tripped and fell. His cone flew out of his hand and landed on the ground. The dog ran to it and ate it in one bite. + +"Hey, that's my ice cream!" Ben cried. He was sad and angry. He wanted his cream back. + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She wanted to help him. She had an idea. She held her cone in front of the dog and said, "Hey, dog, do you want my ice cream too?" + +The dog looked at Lily and wagged its tail. It wanted her cream too. It ran to her and tried to grab it. But Lily was clever. She jumped over the dog and ran to the other side. She did it again and again. She made the dog chase her and jump with her. She made the dog tired and dizzy. + +"Wow, Lily, you are so brave and smart!" Ben said. He watched Lily and the dog play. He smiled and clapped. He was not sad and angry anymore. He was happy and proud. + +Lily and the dog had fun too. They jumped and ran and laughed. They became friends. Lily gave the dog a hug and a pat. She said, "You are a good dog, but you should not take other people's ice cream. That's not nice." + +The dog licked Lily's face and wagged its tail. It said, "Woof, woof, sorry, Lily. You are a good girl, and you have a good cream. Can I have a lick, please?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She shared her cream with the dog. She said, "Sure, dog, you can have a lick. But only a little bit. It's my cream, after all." + +The dog said, "Woof, woof, thank you, Lily. You are very kind and generous." + +Lily and the dog licked the cream together. Ben joined them too. He said, "Can I have a lick too, Lily? You have a lot of cream left." + +Lily said, "Of course, Ben. You are my friend, and I like to share with you. Here, have a lick." + +Ben said, "Thank you, Lily. You are the best. Your cream is very good." + +Lily, Ben and the dog licked the cream together. They were very happy and full. They finished the cream and threw away the cone. They said goodbye to the dog and went back to the park. They played some more and had a great day. They learned that jumping, cream and sharing are fun, but stealing is not. They also learned that making friends is not difficult, even with a dog. They were very good children. The end. +Lily liked to play with her toys, but she did not like to put them away. She left them all over the floor, and sometimes she stepped on them and hurt her feet. Her mom told her to clean up her room before noon, or she would not get any dessert. Lily said yes, but she did not listen. She kept playing and playing, and forgot about the time. + +At noon, mom came to check on Lily. She saw the mess in her room, and she was not happy. She said, "Lily, you did not complete your task. You did not put away your toys. Now you cannot have any dessert. You have to learn to be organized and responsible." Lily felt sad and sorry. She wished she had listened to her mom. + +She asked her mom if she could still have dessert if she cleaned up her room now. Mom said, "No, Lily. You had your chance, and you wasted it. You have to face the consequences of your choices. Maybe next time you will do better." Lily nodded. She understood. She started to pick up her toys and put them in their boxes. She hoped to make her mom proud of her. She learned her lesson. She decided to be more organized and complete her tasks on time. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make roads and bridges with sticks and stones. They had a big bridge that crossed over a pond. They pretended the pond was a river with fish and boats. + +"Look, Lily, I can make my car go very fast on the bridge!" Tom said. He pushed his car hard and it zoomed across the bridge. But he pushed too hard and the car fell into the pond. "Oh no, my car!" Tom cried. + +Lily ran to the pond and tried to reach the car. But the pond was too deep and she could not see the car. "Don't worry, Tom, we can get it back," she said. "Maybe we can use a stick or a net to fish it out." + +But Tom was very worried. He loved his car and he did not want to lose it. He started to cry. "But what if we can't find it? What if the fish eat it? What if it sinks to the bottom?" he sobbed. + +Lily hugged Tom and tried to calm him down. "It's okay, Tom, it's just a toy. We can get another one at the store. Or maybe we can ask Mom or Dad to help us. They are very smart and they can do anything," she said. + +Tom sniffled and nodded. He wiped his tears and smiled at Lily. "You are right, Lily, you are a good sister. Thank you for being nice to me. Let's go and ask Mom or Dad to help us," he said. + +They held hands and walked to the house. They hoped they could find Tom's car and play with it again. They also hoped they could make a better bridge that would not break. They still liked to play with their toy cars in the garden. +Anna loved flowers. She liked to look at them, smell them, and touch them. She had a book with many pictures of flowers. She learned their names and colors. + +One day, she saw a new flower in the garden. It was big and yellow, with a brown middle. It looked like the sun. She wanted to see it closer. She ran to the flower and bent down. + +"Hello, flower," she said. "You are very pretty. What is your name?" + +The flower did not answer. But Anna heard a buzzing sound. She looked up and saw a bee. The bee was flying around the flower. It landed on the brown middle and took some yellow dust. + +"Hello, bee," Anna said. "Do you like the flower? Do you know its name?" + +The bee did not answer. But it flew away from the flower. It went to another flower, and then another. It was making a trail of yellow dust. + +Anna was curious. She wanted to see where the bee was going. She decided to follow the bee. She got up and ran after it. + +She followed the bee from flower to flower. She saw many colors and shapes. She saw roses, daisies, tulips, and more. She felt happy and excited. + +She followed the bee until it reached a big tree. The tree had a hole in it. The bee flew into the hole. Anna heard a loud humming sound. She guessed there were many bees inside the tree. + +She wondered what they were doing. She wanted to see. But she knew she should not go too close. She remembered her book said bees can sting. She did not want to get hurt. + +She decided to go back to the garden. She thanked the bee for showing her the flowers. She thought the bee was very gifted. It could make honey from the flowers. She liked honey. She wished she could make honey too. + +She ran back to the garden. She saw her mom waiting for her. She hugged her mom and told her about the bee and the flowers. Her mom smiled and listened. She was proud of Anna. She thought Anna was very gifted too. She could learn new things from the flowers. She loved flowers. She loved Anna. +Tim and Dad like to watch golf on TV. They sit on the sofa and cheer for their favorite players. Tim likes to see the ball fly in the air and land on the green grass. Dad likes to see the players hit the ball with the stick and put it in the hole. + +One day, Dad says, "Tim, do you want to play golf with me? We can go to the park and use my old clubs and balls. It will be fun!" + +Tim is very enthusiastic. He says, "Yes, Dad, I want to play golf with you! Can I wear your hat and gloves?" + +Dad smiles and says, "Sure, Tim, you can wear my hat and gloves. Let's go!" + +They go to the park and find a big field. Dad gives Tim a small club and a ball. He shows him how to hold the club and swing it. Tim tries to copy Dad, but it is hard. He misses the ball many times. He feels frustrated. + +Dad says, "Don't worry, Tim, golf is not easy. You have to practice a lot. You are doing great for your first time. Just keep trying and have fun!" + +Tim nods and says, "OK, Dad, I will keep trying and have fun. I love golf!" + +They play golf for a while and then have a picnic. They eat sandwiches and cookies and drink juice. They talk about golf and other things. They are happy. They hug and say, "I love you, Dad. I love you, Tim." +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today, they have to go to the doctor. Mom says they need a check-up. + +Tom and Lily are scared of the doctor. They do not like the needles and the cold stethoscope. They have many questions in their heads. Why do they have to go? Will it hurt? Can they bring their teddy bears? + +Mom tries to prepare them for the visit. She tells them that the doctor is nice and friendly. She says that the check-up is important to keep them healthy and strong. She says that they can bring their teddy bears if they want. + +But Tom and Lily are still upset. They do not want to go. They start to cry and hide under the bed. Mom sighs and kneels down. + +"Tom, Lily, please come out. I know you are scared, but the doctor is not scary. He will only look at your ears, your eyes, your mouth and your heart. He will not hurt you. He will give you a sticker and a lollipop after. And I will be with you all the time. OK?" + +Tom and Lily peek out from under the bed. They see Mom's smile and hear her voice. They feel a little better. They grab their teddy bears and crawl out. They hug Mom and nod. + +"OK, Mom. We will go. But can we ask the doctor some questions?" + +"Of course, my loves. You can ask him anything you want. He will be happy to answer. Now, let's go. The doctor is waiting for us." +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Anna had a piggy bank that she liked to shake and hear the coins inside. Ben had a toy car that he liked to zoom around the floor. + +"Look, Anna, my car is so fast!" Ben said, making a vroom sound. + +"Look, Ben, my piggy is so full!" Anna said, holding up her piggy bank. + +They decided to swap their toys and see what they could do with them. Ben took the piggy bank and shook it hard. Anna took the car and drove it on the couch. + +But Ben shook the piggy bank too hard. The lid popped off and the coins flew out. They scattered all over the living room. Some landed on the floor, some on the table, some on the sofa, and some on the TV. + +"Oh no!" Ben cried. "I broke your piggy!" + +Anna looked at the mess and gasped. She saw her money everywhere. She felt sad and angry. + +"Ben, you are so bad!" Anna yelled. "You made my money go away!" + +She ran to the car and threw it at Ben. Ben dodged and the car hit the wall. It made a loud bang. + +"Anna, you are so mean!" Ben yelled back. "You broke my car!" + +They both started to cry and scream. They did not want to share or say sorry. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the coins, the car, and the piggy bank. She saw Anna and Ben crying and yelling. She felt upset and disappointed. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asked. "Why are you fighting?" + +Anna and Ben stopped crying and looked at Mom. They felt embarrassed and ashamed. They knew they did something wrong. + +"We were playing and we broke our toys and our money," Anna said in a small voice. + +"We were not nice to each other and we threw things," Ben said in a small voice. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She picked up the coins and put them in a jar. She picked up the car and the piggy bank and checked if they were still working. She sat down on the couch and called Anna and Ben to her. + +"Listen, Anna and Ben, I am not happy with what you did," Mom said. "You need to learn to be careful with your things and respectful of each other. You need to say sorry and hug and make up. And you need to help me clean up this mess. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded and looked at each other. They felt sorry and sorry. They said sorry and hugged and made up. They helped Mom clean up the mess. They learned their lesson and promised to be better. Mom smiled and hugged them and gave them a kiss. She was proud of them and loved them. They were happy and loved. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play dress-up. They had many costumes in their big box. One day, they wanted to be pirates and look for treasure. They put on hats, eye patches, and swords. They also took Mom's necklace and rings. + +"Arrr, matey, we are the best pirates ever!" Ben said. + +"Yes, we are! Let's find some gold and jewels!" Lily said. + +They ran around the house, pretending to sail and fight. They were very loud and made a big mess. They did not hear Mom calling them for lunch. + +Mom was angry when she saw what they had done. She saw her necklace and rings on the floor. She saw the pillows and books thrown everywhere. She saw the paint and glue on the walls. + +"Lily and Ben, what have you done? This is very bad! You have to punish!" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They knew they had done wrong. They said sorry to Mom. They took off their costumes and put them back in the box. They helped Mom clean the house. They did not get to eat lunch. They had to go to their room and be quiet. + +They learned their lesson. They decided to be good pirates next time. They also decided to ask Mom before they took her things. They hugged Mom and said they loved her. Mom hugged them back and said she loved them too. She was still a little mad, but she was also glad they were sorry. She hoped they would not be so loud and messy again. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the park. The park had a big gate that was always closed. Tim and Kim wanted to see what was behind the gate, but their mom said no. She said it was a busy road with many cars and trucks that could hurt them. + +One day, Tim and Kim saw that the gate was open. They ran to the gate and looked at the road. They saw many cars and trucks zooming by. They thought it was fun to watch them. They did not hear their mom calling them. + +"Tim, Kim, come back here!" their mom shouted. "It is not safe to be near the gate!" + +But Tim and Kim did not listen. They wanted to get closer to the road. They stepped out of the gate and onto the sidewalk. They did not see a big truck coming their way. + +The truck honked loudly and scared Tim and Kim. They jumped back and ran to their mom. They hugged her and cried. + +"I'm sorry, mom, we were bad," Tim said. + +"We were curious, mom, we wanted to see the road," Kim said. + +Their mom was angry and scared, but also relieved. She hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are safe, but you should never go near the gate again. The road is not a place for children. It is dangerous and busy. You could get hurt or lost. You should always listen to me and stay in the park." + +Tim and Kim nodded and said, "We understand, mom. We will never go near the gate again. We love you, mom." + +Their mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Tim and Kim. Now let's go and play in the park." + +The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But today, they saw something new. A big truck was parked near the fence. It had a long arm with a claw. The claw was grabbing things and putting them in the truck. + +"What is that?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Let's go see," Tom said. + +They ran to the fence and stared at the truck. The claw was moving fast. It grabbed a bike, a ball, a teddy bear and a doll. They belonged to other kids who were playing in the park. + +"Hey, that's not fair! That's our stuff!" a boy shouted. + +He ran to the truck and tried to get his bike back. But the claw was too strong. It lifted the bike and threw it in the truck. + +"Stop! Stop!" the boy cried. + +But the truck did not stop. It made a loud noise and drove away. The boy fell to the ground and sobbed. + +Lily and Tom felt terrible. They wanted to help the boy, but they did not know what to do. They looked at each other and hugged. + +"That was a bad truck," Lily said. + +"Yes, a very bad truck," Tom said. + +They hoped the truck would never come back. They hoped the boy would find his bike again. They hoped they could still play in the park. They hoped for a better day. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to eat toast for breakfast. They had a big toaster that made four slices of toast at a time. But Ben and Lily always wanted the same slice of toast, the one that was golden and crispy and had a lot of butter and jam on it. + +One morning, they both reached for the same slice of toast and started to pull on it. "It's mine!" Ben shouted. "No, it's mine!" Lily yelled. They pulled and pulled until the toast broke in half and fell on the floor. They both looked at the toast and felt sad. + +Their mom came into the kitchen and saw what happened. She was not happy. "Ben and Lily, why are you fighting over toast?" she asked. "There are three more slices in the toaster. You can each have one and share the other one." + +"But we both wanted this one!" Ben and Lily said. "It was the best one!" + +Mom shook her head. "You know, toast is just bread that is cooked. It is not very special. What is special is being kind and sharing with your brother or sister. That is what makes breakfast incredible. Not the toast, but the love." + +Ben and Lily thought about what mom said. They felt sorry for being greedy and rude. They picked up the toast from the floor and threw it in the trash. Then they took the other slices from the toaster and gave one to each other. They smiled and said, "Thank you. I love you." + +Mom smiled too. She hugged them and said, "That's my good twins. Now, enjoy your toast and have a wonderful day." +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and pretend they were animals. One day, they saw a big poster of a leopard. It had yellow fur and black spots. It looked incredible. + +"Wow, look at that leopard!" Lily said. "It is so fast and strong. I wish I could be a leopard." + +"Me too," Ben said. "But we don't have leopard fur or spots. How can we be leopards?" + +Lily had an idea. She ran to her mom and asked, "Mom, can you lend me your scarf? It is yellow and black, like a leopard." + +"Sure, sweetie, you can borrow my scarf. But be careful with it, OK?" Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Lily said. She took the scarf and wrapped it around her neck. She looked like a leopard. She ran back to Ben and said, "Look, Ben, I am a leopard now. Do you want to be a leopard too?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben said. He was happy. Lily shared her scarf with him. She gave him one end and kept the other. They tied the scarf around their waists. Now they both looked like leopards. + +They roared and ran around the park. They chased each other and climbed the trees. They had a lot of fun. They felt like real leopards. + +"Thank you, Lily, for lending me your scarf. You are a good friend," Ben said. + +"You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too," Lily said. + +They hugged and smiled. They were happy. They loved being leopards. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were cowboys and cowgirls. They had hats and boots and toy guns. They also had a cactus in a pot that they called Spike. + +"Look, Ben, I can ride Spike like a horse!" Lily said. She put the cactus on the ground and tried to sit on it. "Yee-haw!" + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily screamed. She jumped off the cactus and ran to Ben. She had many little spikes in her legs and bottom. They hurt a lot. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. He was worried about his sister. He wanted to help her. + +"No, I'm not okay!" Lily cried. "It hurts so bad! I want Mommy!" + +Ben ran to the house to get Mommy. He was anxious. He hoped Mommy could make Lily feel better. He also hoped Mommy would not be angry with them for playing with the cactus. + +Mommy came out of the house. She saw Lily crying and the cactus on the ground. She was not happy. + +"What have you done, children?" Mommy asked. She was not smiling. She was not applauding. She was very cross. + +"We were playing cowboys and cowgirls, Mommy," Ben said. He tried to explain. "Lily wanted to ride Spike, but Spike hurt her." + +Mommy shook her head. She picked up Lily and took her inside. She said she had to take out the spikes and put some cream on the wounds. She said it would take a long time and it would hurt more. + +She also said they were not allowed to play with the cactus anymore. She said they had to stay in their room for the rest of the day. She said they had to think about what they had done. + +Lily and Ben felt very sorry. They wished they had not played with the cactus. They wished they had listened to Mommy. They wished they had a better ending. +Lily and Ben liked to build things with their blocks. They made houses, towers, bridges and cars. They had fun playing with their blocks and making noises. + +One day, they heard a loud noise outside. It was thunder. Thunder was a big sound that came from the sky when it was rainy and dark. Lily and Ben were scared of thunder. They ran to their grandma, who was sitting on the couch. + +"Grandma, grandma, there is thunder outside!" they cried. "We are afraid!" + +Grandma hugged them and smiled. She was elderly, but she was not afraid of thunder. She knew it was just a noise and it could not hurt them. + +"Don't worry, my dears," she said. "Thunder is just the sky saying hello. It is not scary, it is friendly. Do you want to say hello back?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They liked to say hello to new things. + +"Okay, then," grandma said. "Let's go to the window and wave to the sky. And then we can build something with your blocks to show the sky what we can do." + +Lily and Ben followed grandma to the window. They saw the dark clouds and the flashes of light. They heard the thunder again. But this time, they were not scared. They waved to the sky and said, "Hello, thunder! We are Lily and Ben!" + +Then they went back to their blocks and built a big rainbow with many colors. They showed it to the sky and said, "Look, thunder! We made a rainbow for you! Do you like it?" + +The sky smiled and sent a gentle rain to water the flowers. Lily and Ben smiled too. They were happy. They liked to build things with their blocks. And they liked to say hello to the thunder. +Tim and Sue were twins who liked to play dress-up. They had a big box of clothes and hats and shoes that they could wear. Sometimes they were pirates, sometimes they were princesses, sometimes they were astronauts. + +One day, they decided to be superheroes. Tim wore a red cape and a mask. Sue wore a blue dress and a crown. They ran around the house, pretending to save people and animals from danger. + +"Look, Tim, there is a cat stuck in the tree!" Sue said, pointing to a toy cat on a shelf. "I will use my super power to get it down!" + +"What is your super power, Sue?" Tim asked. + +"I can make things move with my mind!" Sue said. She closed her eyes and tried to make the cat fall. But nothing happened. + +"Maybe you need to practice more, Sue," Tim said. "My super power is super strength. I can lift anything!" + +He picked up a pillow and threw it in the air. "See? I am very strong!" + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise and felt the floor shake. The books and toys and pictures fell off the shelves and tables. The windows cracked and the doors opened. It was an earthquake! + +Tim and Sue were scared. They hugged each other and cried. "What is happening, Tim?" Sue asked. + +"I don't know, Sue," Tim said. "But we have to get out of here!" + +They ran to the door, but it was blocked by a big dresser that had fallen over. They tried to push it, but it was too heavy. + +"We are trapped, Tim!" Sue said. + +"No, we are not, Sue," Tim said. "We are superheroes, remember? We can use our super powers to escape!" + +He looked at the dresser and tried to lift it with his super strength. But nothing happened. + +"Maybe you need to practice more, Tim," Sue said. She looked at the dresser and tried to make it move with her mind. But nothing happened. + +They looked at each other and felt hopeless. They wished their mom and dad were here to help them. + +Then, they heard a voice from outside. It was their mom. She had come home from work and saw the earthquake. She was looking for them. + +"Tim! Sue! Where are you?" she shouted. + +"Mom! We are here! We are in the bedroom!" they shouted back. + +"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" she asked. + +"No, we are okay, but we are stuck!" they said. + +"Don't worry, I will get you out!" she said. She saw the dresser blocking the door and pushed it aside. She opened the door and saw them. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"I am so glad you are safe!" she said. "You are my brave superheroes!" + +Tim and Sue smiled. They felt happy and relieved. They realized that their mom was the real superhero. They loved her very much. They wore their capes and crowns and followed her outside. They hoped the earthquake was over. They hoped their house was not too broken. They hoped their cat was still in the tree. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses with the blocks. Lily has a big tower of red blocks. Ben has a small house of blue blocks. They are happy. + +But then, Lily sees a green block on the floor. She wants the green block for her tower. She thinks it will look nice. She does not ask Ben if he needs the green block. She just takes it from the floor. + +Ben is angry. He sees Lily take his green block. He needs the green block for his house. He thinks it will make his house stronger. He does not tell Lily to give back his green block. He just throws a blue block at Lily's tower. + +Lily is shocked. She sees Ben throw a blue block at her tower. She hears her tower fall down. She sees her red blocks on the floor. She feels sad. She does not say sorry to Ben for taking his green block. She just cries. + +Ben is not successful. He thinks he will make Lily give back his green block by throwing a blue block at her tower. But he does not get his green block back. He only makes Lily cry. He also sees his house fall down. He sees his blue blocks on the floor. He feels sorry. He does not know what to do. + +Mom hears Lily and Ben. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the blocks on the floor. She sees Lily crying and Ben looking sorry. She knows what happened. She helps Lily and Ben to say sorry to each other. She helps them to pick up the blocks. She helps them to share the blocks. She helps them to build a new tower and a new house together. They use the red, blue and green blocks. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were busy playing by the river. They liked to make rafts with sticks and leaves and watch them float on the water. They pretended they were pirates and explorers. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big raft. It can carry two pirates and a treasure chest," Tom said, showing his raft to his sister. + +"That's great, Tom. Can I help you put it in the water?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. You can help me push it. But be careful, don't fall in the river. It's deep and cold," Tom said. + +They worked together to push the raft into the water. They watched it sail away, bobbing and spinning. They cheered and clapped. + +"Bye-bye, raft. Have a nice trip," Lily said. + +"Maybe it will find a new island or a secret cave," Tom said. + +They were happy and proud of their raft. They decided to make another one. They looked for more sticks and leaves. They were busy and had fun. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big yellow ball in the sky. It was very bright and warm. It made them happy. + +"Look, Tom, it is the sun!" Sam said. "It is shining so much!" + +"Yes, Sam, it is the sun. Do you know what it is made of?" Tom asked. + +"No, what is it made of?" Sam wondered. + +"It is made of cheese!" Tom said. "My dad told me so. He said the sun is a big ball of cheese that we can eat if we go there." + +"Wow, cheese! I love cheese!" Sam said. "Can we go there, Tom? Can we eat the sun?" + +"Sure, Sam, we can go there. We just need a rocket. And then we will be famous. Everyone will know us as the boys who ate the sun!" Tom said. + +They ran to Tom's house and found a big cardboard box. They drew some windows and wings on it. They put on some helmets and gloves. They said they were ready to fly. + +They carried the box to the park and put it on a hill. They climbed inside and pretended to push some buttons. They made some noises like a rocket. + +"Three, two, one, blast off!" Tom shouted. + +They imagined they were flying to the sun. They felt very excited and brave. They thought they would soon reach the cheese. + +But they did not know that the sun was very hot and far away. They did not know that they could not fly in a cardboard box. They did not know that they were in danger. + +A man saw them playing in the park. He thought they were silly and cute. He took out his phone and took a picture of them. He posted it on the internet and wrote a funny caption. + +The picture went viral. Millions of people saw it and laughed. They made fun of Tom and Sam. They called them stupid and crazy. They said they were the boys who tried to eat the sun. + +Tom and Sam did not eat the sun. They did not become famous. They became a joke. They felt very sad and ashamed. They wished they never played that game. They wished they never saw the sun. +Tom and Anna went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. Tom and Anna liked the animals, but they liked the playground more. They ran to the swings, the slide, and the seesaw. + +"Look, Anna, I can spring high on the swing!" Tom said. He pushed his legs hard and went up and down. + +"Me too, Tom, me too!" Anna said. She tried to copy Tom, but she was smaller and slower. + +"Be careful, Anna, don't fall!" Mom said. She watched them from a bench. + +Suddenly, Anna heard a loud roar. She turned her head and saw a big lion behind a fence. The lion looked angry and hungry. Anna was scared. She let go of the swing and fell to the ground. + +"Ouch!" Anna cried. She hurt her knee and it was bleeding. + +"Anna, are you okay?" Tom asked. He jumped off the swing and ran to her. + +"Tom, the lion, the lion!" Anna said. She pointed at the fence. + +Tom looked at the lion. He saw that the lion was not angry, but sad. The lion had a poor leg. It was wrapped in a bandage and it looked sore. + +"Anna, the lion is not bad, he is poor. He has a boo-boo, like you," Tom said. He hugged Anna and helped her up. + +"Really?" Anna asked. She looked at the lion again. She saw that the lion was not scary, but lonely. He had no friends in his cage. + +"Really. Maybe we can be his friends," Tom said. He smiled at the lion and waved his hand. + +The lion saw Tom and Anna. He felt a little better. He smiled back and waved his paw. + +Mom and Dad came to Anna and Tom. They saw their knee and leg. They gave them a kiss and a band-aid. + +"Are you okay, Anna and Tom?" Mom and Dad asked. + +"Yes, we are okay. We made a new friend," Anna and Tom said. They pointed at the lion. + +Mom and Dad looked at the lion. They saw that he was poor, but friendly. They smiled and waved too. + +The lion felt happy. He had new friends. He roared, but this time, it was a happy roar. +Tommy loved his truck. It was big and red and had four wheels. He liked to play with it in the yard and make loud noises. He pretended he was a driver and he could go anywhere. + +One day, his mom told him to put away his truck and come inside for lunch. She said he had to be obedient and listen to her. Tommy did not want to stop playing. He said, "No, mom, I want to play more!" + +His mom was angry. She said, "Tommy, you are being naughty. If you don't put away your truck and come inside, I will take it away from you." She counted to three, but Tommy did not move. + +His mom went to the yard and grabbed his truck. She said, "That's it, Tommy. You have lost your truck for the rest of the day. Maybe you will learn to be obedient next time." She took his truck inside and locked it in a closet. + +Tommy was sad and mad. He cried and screamed. He wanted his truck back. He ran to the closet and tried to open it, but it was locked. He kicked the door and hurt his foot. He fell to the floor and sobbed. He did not smile at all. He wished he had listened to his mom. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys. They had many toys of different shapes and colors. Lily liked to sort her toys by shape. She put all the circles in one pile, all the squares in another pile, and so on. Max liked to sort his toys by color. He put all the red toys in one pile, all the blue toys in another pile, and so on. + +"Look, Lily, I sorted all my toys by color. Do you like it?" Max asked. + +"Yes, Max, it looks nice. But I like to sort by shape better. See, I sorted all my toys by shape. Do you like it?" Lily replied. + +"Yes, Lily, it looks nice too. But I think color is more fun. Let's play a game. Whoever sorts the most toys by color wins a prize. The prize is this delicate flower. It smells good and has pretty petals. Do you want to play?" Max suggested. + +"OK, Max, let's play. But be careful with the flower. It is delicate and can break easily. I want to win the prize," Lily agreed. + +They started to play. They took turns to pick a toy and put it in the right pile by color. They counted how many toys they had in each pile. They tried to be fast and accurate. They had fun. + +But then, something bad happened. Max picked a toy that was too big and heavy. It was a truck. He wanted to put it in the red pile, but he dropped it by mistake. The truck fell on the flower and crushed it. The flower was broken. The petals were scattered. The smell was gone. + +"Max, look what you did! You broke the flower! It was the prize! It was delicate! How could you?" Lily cried. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to. It was an accident. I was trying to win the prize. Please don't be mad at me," Max apologized. + +But Lily was very mad at Max. She didn't want to play with him anymore. She took all her toys and went to her room. She slammed the door. She left Max alone with the broken flower. He felt sad and sorry. He wished he had been more careful. He wished Lily would forgive him. He wished they could play again. But they didn't. The end. +Ben and Lily like to walk in the park with their dog Spot. They see many things: trees, flowers, birds, and squirrels. Spot likes to chase the squirrels, but Ben and Lily hold his leash. They do not want him to get lost or hurt. + +One day, they see a big pond in the park. It has water and ducks and frogs. Ben and Lily want to see the ducks and frogs, but Spot wants to chase them. He pulls hard on his leash and breaks it. He runs to the pond and jumps in. + +Ben and Lily are scared. They do not know how to swim. They call for Spot, but he does not come back. He is too busy chasing the ducks and frogs. The water is deep and cold. Spot starts to sink. He cannot breathe. + +Ben and Lily see a man near the pond. He has a boat and a net. They ask him to help Spot. They say, "Please, save our dog. He is in the pond. He is drowning." The man looks at them and shakes his head. He says, "No, I will not save your dog. He is a bad dog. He scared my ducks and frogs. He deserves to drown." + +Ben and Lily cry. They do not understand why the man is so mean. They love Spot. He is their friend. They watch as Spot disappears under the water. He does not come back. He is gone. + +The end. + +Moral value: Be careful with your pets. Do not let them run away or harm other animals. Some people may not help you if you are in trouble. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big puddle on the grass. It was shiny and wet. + +"Let's splash in the puddle!" Lily said. She ran to the puddle and jumped in. The water splashed on her legs and dress. She laughed. + +Max followed her. He jumped in the puddle too. The water splashed on his pants and shirt. He laughed. + +They splashed and splashed. They had fun. + +But then, a big dog came. It was brown and furry. It had a long tail and a wet nose. It saw the puddle and the children. It wanted to play too. + +The dog ran to the puddle and jumped in. The water splashed on Lily and Max and the dog. The dog barked. + +"Go away, dog!" Lily said. She did not like the dog. It was too big and loud. It disturbed their game. + +"Leave us alone, dog!" Max said. He did not like the dog either. It was too wet and dirty. It disturbed their clothes. + +But the dog did not listen. It thought they were playing with it. It splashed and barked more. It licked Lily and Max with its tongue. It wagged its tail. + +Lily and Max were scared and angry. They ran out of the puddle. They looked for their mom and dad. They wanted to go home. + +The dog was sad. It did not understand why they left. It thought they were adorable. It wanted to be their friend. It stayed in the puddle and waited. +Sara loves her dog Max. Max is a big, light dog with soft fur and a wet nose. Sara likes to play with Max in the park. They run, jump and fetch a ball. + +One day, Sara and Max go to the park with Mom.

We did not mean to make you angry. We are sorry." + +Dad said, "I know you are sorry, but that was not a good way to play. You made me late for work. You made me worry. You could have lost my keys. You need to learn to be more careful and respectful. You need to say sorry to the mailbox, too. It is not a toy. It is for letters." + +Sam and Mia said sorry to dad and to the mailbox. They hugged dad and said they loved him. Dad hugged them back and said he loved them, too. He said, "Next time, if you want to play a trick, ask me first.

They were very good. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was the farmer who owned the tree. He was angry and shouted at them. He said they were naughty and greedy.

She ran to show her mom, who was sitting on the porch. "Look, mom, I found an angel in the garden!" + +Mom looked at the statue and frowned. She recognized it as one of the decorations from the church next door. She wondered how it got into their garden. She felt ashamed that Lily had taken something that was not hers. + +"Lily, honey, this is not your angel. This belongs to the church. You can't keep it.

She discovered that the church was full of angels, big and small, made of wood and stone and glass. She liked them all, but she still liked her angel the best. She asked the pastor if she could visit her angel sometimes. + +"Of course, Lily, you are always welcome here. You can visit your angel anytime you want. And you know what? You are an angel too.
