They did not want to lose their blocks. + +"OK, mom, we understand. We will share and be nice," they said, together. + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. + +"That's good, I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, why don't you help me clean up this mess, and then we can have some cookies?" she said, kindly. + +Lily and Max agreed, and they started to pick up the blocks. They decided to build something together, instead of removing each other's blocks. They did not want to make trouble or their mom angry again. They wanted to have fun and cookies. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and smell them. Lily saw a big yellow flower that was not open yet. She wanted to see it bloom. + +"Look, Ben, this flower is not open. When will it bloom?" she asked. + +Ben shrugged. He did not know. He was more interested in his gear. He had a toy car, a toy plane and a toy train. He liked to make them go fast and make noises. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe tomorrow. Come and play with my gear. They are fun!" he said. + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to play with his gear. She wanted to see the flower bloom. She thought it would be pretty and smell nice. + +"No, Ben, I want to stay here and watch the flower. Maybe it will bloom soon. You can play with your gear by yourself," she said. + +Ben was upset. He did not like to play by himself. He wanted Lily to play with him. He thought she was being silly. He did not care about the flower. + +"Lily, you are boring. The flower is boring. My gear is better. You are missing out. Fine, I will play by myself. But don't come and bother me later," he said. + +He took his gear and went to the other side of the garden. He made his car go vroom, his plane go zoom and his train go choo-choo. He pretended he was a driver, a pilot and a conductor. + +Lily did not mind. She stayed by the flower and waited. She hoped it would bloom soon. She wondered what color it would be and how it would smell. She was happy and curious. + +After a while, she saw something amazing. The flower started to open. It was slow at first, then faster and faster. It was like a magic show. Lily gasped. The flower was beautiful. It was bright yellow with orange spots. It smelled sweet and fresh. It made Lily smile. + +She wanted to share her joy with Ben. She looked for him in the garden. She saw him playing with his gear. He looked happy too. She ran to him and called his name. + +"Ben, Ben, come and see! The flower bloomed! It is so pretty and smells so good! Come and see!" she said. + +Ben heard her and looked up. He saw her smiling and holding a flower. He felt curious. He wanted to see the flower too. He left his gear and ran to her. + +"Wow, Lily, you were right. The flower is amazing. It is so colorful and smells so nice. Can I smell it too?" he asked. + +Lily nodded. She gave him the flower and let him smell it. He smiled too. He thanked her and gave her the flower back. + +They both admired the flower and smelled it. They felt happy and proud. They had seen something special. They had seen the flower bloom. They hugged each other and decided to play together. They took turns playing with the flower and the gear. They had fun and learned new things. They were good friends. +Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play at the beach. They liked to swim and build sand castles and look for shells. One day, they saw some big kids with white boards. They were riding on the waves. Lila and Ben thought it looked fun. + +"Can we try that?" Lila asked Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "It looks hard. And the waves are big." + +"Come on, Ben. It will be fun. And we can trust each other. I will help you and you will help me," Lila said. + +Ben was scared, but he wanted to be brave. He nodded and followed Lila. They found a white board that someone had left on the sand. They carried it to the water. Lila went first. She lay on the board and paddled with her arms. She waited for a wave. She saw one coming. She smiled and shouted to Ben. + +"Look, Ben! I'm going to surf!" + +Ben watched as Lila caught the wave. She stood up on the board and balanced. She looked happy. Ben clapped and cheered. He wanted to try too. He lay on the board and paddled. He saw a wave. He tried to stand up. But he lost his balance. He fell off the board. He went under the water. He felt scared. He tried to swim up. But the water was strong. It pushed him down. He could not breathe. He could not see. He could not hear. He could not feel Lila or the board. He was alone. + +Lila did not see Ben fall. She was busy surfing. She rode the wave until it broke. She was proud of herself. She looked for Ben. She wanted to tell him how fun it was. She wanted to see him surf too. But she could not find him. She saw the board. But Ben was not on it. She saw some bubbles. But Ben was not in them. She felt worried. She called his name. + +"Ben! Ben! Where are you?" + +But Ben did not answer. He was gone. Lila did not know what to do. She cried. She wished she had not asked Ben to surf. She wished she had stayed with him. She wished she had not trusted the waves. She wished she had not trusted herself. She wished she had not lost her friend. +Tom and Lily were twins, but they were very different. Tom liked to play with boats and cars, and Lily liked to play with dolls and flowers. They had different toys, different clothes, and different friends. Sometimes they fought over their things, and sometimes they did not want to share. + +One day, it was their birthday, and their mom and dad took them to the beach to celebrate. They had a big cake, balloons, and presents. Tom and Lily were very happy, until they opened their gifts. Tom got a new boat, and Lily got a new doll. But Tom wanted the doll, and Lily wanted the boat. They started to cry and shout. + +"Mom, I don't like this boat! I want the doll!" Tom said. + +"Dad, I don't like this doll! I want the boat!" Lily said. + +Mom and dad looked at each other, and then at their children. They were sad and disappointed. + +"Tom and Lily, why are you so unhappy? You have such nice gifts, and you have each other. You should be grateful and kind, not greedy and selfish. Don't you know that being different is not bad, but good? You can learn from each other, and have more fun together. Why don't you try to swap your toys, and see how you like them?" mom said. + +Tom and Lily thought about what mom said. They looked at their toys, and then at each other. They felt sorry for being rude and mean. They decided to give their toys to each other, and say sorry. + +"Here, Lily, you can have my boat. I'm sorry for yelling at you. Maybe you can teach me how to sail it." Tom said. + +"Thank you, Tom. You can have my doll. I'm sorry for crying at you. Maybe you can show me how to dress it." Lily said. + +They hugged and smiled. They took their new toys to the water, and played happily. They found out that they liked both the boat and the doll, and that they had more in common than they thought. They also found an old anchor on the sand, and used it as a decoration for their cake. They had a wonderful birthday, and learned to appreciate their differences. +Sara and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Sara is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Ben runs behind a big tree and waits for Sara to find him. He thinks he has a good hiding spot. + +"Where are you, Ben?" Sara calls out. "I will find you soon!" + +Ben does not answer. He tries to be very quiet and still. He thinks his brain is smart and he can manage to stay hidden. + +But Sara is also smart. She looks around and sees a small branch on the ground. She picks it up and walks towards the big tree. She has a plan. + +She taps the tree with the branch and makes a loud noise. "Knock, knock, who is there?" she says. + +Ben is surprised. He thinks someone is at the door. He forgets he is hiding and says, "It's me, Ben!" + +Sara laughs and runs to the tree. She finds Ben and gives him a hug. "I found you, Ben! You have a funny brain. You thought the tree was a door!" + +Ben laughs too. He feels silly. He says, "You are right, Sara. You have a clever brain. You managed to trick me!" + +They smile and decide to play again. They take turns hiding and seeking. They have fun in the park. +Sara and Sam were two camels who liked to travel. They wanted to see new places and meet new friends. One day, they decided to go to the big desert, where they heard there was a beautiful oasis. + +The big desert was very hot and dry. Sara and Sam walked for a long time, but they could not find the oasis. They were very thirsty and tired. They saw many yellow rocks and sand, but no water or plants. + +"Sam, I don't think we can find the oasis," Sara said. "Maybe we should go back." + +"No, Sara, we can't give up," Sam said. "We have to keep looking. The oasis must be somewhere." + +They walked some more, but they still could not find the oasis. They started to feel very sad and scared. They thought they would never see water or plants again. + +Then, they saw something in the distance. It looked like a green spot with a blue lake. They thought it was a mirage, a fake picture in the air. But they decided to go closer and check. + +When they got closer, they realized it was not a mirage. It was the oasis! They saw water and plants and fruits and flowers. They also saw other camels and animals who lived there. They were very happy and relieved. + +They ran to the water and drank and splashed. They ate some fruits and flowers and rested under the shade. They made friends with the other camels and animals and played with them. They thanked the oasis for saving them. + +The oasis said, "You are welcome, Sara and Sam. You are brave and strong to travel so far and look for me. But you should also be careful and wise. The big desert is very dangerous and hard. You should always have a map and a guide and enough water and food. And you should always listen to your friends and help each other. That way, you can travel safely and happily." + +Sara and Sam nodded and agreed. They learned a lesson from their adventure. They decided to stay at the oasis for a while and enjoy its beauty and kindness. Then, they planned to travel to other places, but with more care and wisdom. They were happy camels who liked to travel. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a kite and a bow and arrow. The bow and arrow are Lily's.

They hold hands and help each other. They are happy. + +But when they get to the top of the tree, they see a funny thing. A man is running after a dog. The dog has Lily's bow and arrow in his mouth. The man is shouting and waving his arms. He wants the dog to stop and give back the bow and arrow. + +"Hey, that's my bow and arrow!" Lily says. "We have to get it back!" + +"Let's go!" Tom says. "But be careful!" + +They climb down the tree and run to the man and the dog. They say hello and ask for the bow and arrow. The man is sorry. He says the dog is his and he likes to play with things. He gives the bow and arrow to Lily and says thank you. + +Lily and Tom are glad. They hug the dog and the man. They say goodbye and walk back to their toys. They play with the ball, the kite and the bow and arrow. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Max had a car. They were having fun until Max saw a nail on the floor. He picked it up and said, "Look, Lily, a nail! I can make a hole in your doll with this!" + +Lily was scared and angry. She loved her doll and did not want Max to hurt it. She said, "No, Max, don't do that! That is mean and bad! I hate you!" + +Max was confused. He did not understand why Lily was so upset. He thought it was a funny joke. He said, "Why do you hate me? It is just a nail. It is not a big deal. I was only playing." + +Lily did not listen to Max. She grabbed her doll and ran to her mom. She cried and told her what Max did. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Max was wrong to do that. He should not play with nails. They are dangerous and can hurt you and your toys. I will talk to him and make him say sorry." + +Lily felt better and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." She looked at her doll and said, "I love you, too, doll. You are my best friend." She hoped Max would learn his lesson and be nice to her and her doll. +Lila loved to swim in the pool. She liked to splash and kick and make bubbles. She had a big floaty that looked like a pink unicorn. She always took it with her to the pool. + +One day, Lila saw a boy in the pool. He had a green floaty that looked like a crocodile. He looked at Lila's unicorn and said, "I want that. Give it to me." Lila said, "No, this is mine. You have your own floaty." The boy said, "But yours is better. I want it now." He tried to grab Lila's unicorn. + +Lila was scared and angry. She held on to her unicorn and said, "Go away. You are mean. You are spoiled." The boy did not go away. He pulled harder and harder. Lila cried and screamed. She wanted her mommy. + +Then, Lila had an idea. She saw a big water hose near the pool. She let go of her unicorn and ran to the hose. She turned it on and sprayed the boy with cold water. The boy was wet and shocked. He let go of the unicorn and said, "Ow, ow, ow. Stop it. That hurts." Lila said, "That's what you get for being spoiled. Leave me and my unicorn alone." She turned off the hose and ran back to the pool. + +She hugged her unicorn and rubbed its nose. She said, "I'm sorry, unicorn. You are safe now. I love you." She smiled and swam with her unicorn. She was happy. The boy was not. He got out of the pool and went away. He learned a lesson. He should not be spoiled. He should be nice. +Anna and Ben are young friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a sign that says "Do not go in the mist". They are curious. What is mist? + +"Mist is like water in the air. It makes things wet and hard to see," Anna says. + +"Can we touch it?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. The sign says no. Maybe it is bad for us," Anna says. + +But Ben wants to try. He runs to the mist. He feels cold and wet. He cannot see Anna or the park. He is scared. + +"Anna! Anna! Where are you?" Ben shouts. + +"Ben! Ben! Come back! The mist is not good!" Anna shouts. + +She runs to the mist. She tries to find Ben. She sees his shadow. She grabs his hand. They run out of the mist. + +They are safe. They are happy. They hug each other. + +"Sorry, Anna. I was silly. I should have listened to the sign," Ben says. + +"It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are okay. Let's not go in the mist again," Anna says. + +They go back to the park. They play with their toys. They are good friends. They are smart. They follow the sign. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the woods near their homes. One day, they found a hut made of sticks and leaves. It looked like a good place to hide and have fun. + +"Let's go inside the hut!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find some treasure or toys." + +"OK, but be careful. The hut might fall down if we touch it too hard." Tom said. He followed Lily into the hut. It was dark and cozy inside. They saw some old pots and pans, a blanket and a doll. + +"Look, a doll! Can I play with it?" Lily asked. She picked up the doll and hugged it. + +"Sure, you can play with it. And I can play with these pots and pans. Maybe we can make some soup or cake." Tom said. He took a pot and a pan and pretended to cook. + +They played in the hut for a long time. They made up stories and jokes and laughed a lot. They were very happy and playful. + +But then, they heard a loud noise outside. It sounded like a big animal. They got scared and stopped playing. + +"What was that?" Lily whispered. + +"I don't know. Maybe a bear or a wolf." Tom whispered back. + +They looked out of the hut and saw a big dog. It was barking and wagging its tail. It was not a mean dog, but a friendly dog. It wanted to play with them. + +"Hey, it's a dog! It's not a bear or a wolf. It's a playful dog!" Lily said. + +"Maybe it's lost. Maybe it needs a home." Tom said. + +They went out of the hut and petted the dog. The dog licked their faces and wagged its tail more. It liked them. + +"Can we keep it? Can we take it home?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. We have to ask our moms and dads first." Tom said. + +They decided to take the dog with them. They left the hut and walked back to their homes. They hoped their moms and dads would let them keep the dog. They had spent a fun day in the woods and made a new friend. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big bird with many feathers. The bird is blue and yellow and red. It is very pretty. + +Anna and Ben want to touch the bird. They run to the bird and say hello. The bird is scared. It flies away and drops a feather. Anna and Ben pick up the feather. It is soft and shiny. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They have a feather from the pretty bird. They show the feather to their mom and dad. Mom and dad are happy too. They say the feather is a gift from the bird. + +Anna and Ben want to say thank you to the bird. They look for the bird in the sky. They see the bird on a tree. They shout to the bird. They say thank you and we love you. + +The bird hears Anna and Ben. It is not scared anymore. It is cheerful. It sings a song to Anna and Ben. Anna and Ben sing back. They are friends with the bird. They have a fun day in the park. +Lily loved to swim. She liked to splash in the water and make bubbles with her mouth. She had a swim suit with pink flowers and a swim cap with a big bow. She always wore them when she went to the pool with her mom. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the store to buy some snacks. Lily saw a swim toy that looked like a fish. It was blue and green and had shiny scales. Lily wanted the swim toy very much. She asked her mom if she could have it. + +"Mom, can I have the swim toy, please?" Lily said. + +"No, Lily, you already have many swim toys at home. You don't need another one. We are here to buy snacks, not toys." Mom said. + +"But I really like this swim toy. It is so pretty and fun. Please, mom, please!" Lily begged. + +Lily's mom was frustrated. She did not like it when Lily whined and cried. She tried to explain to Lily that she had to be happy with what she had and not always want more. She told Lily that swim toys were not as important as being kind and grateful. + +Lily did not listen. She threw a tantrum in the store. She kicked and screamed and cried. She made a big mess. She did not care about anyone else. She only wanted the swim toy. + +Mom was very angry and sad. She took Lily out of the store and put her in the car. She did not buy any snacks or the swim toy. She drove home and told Lily to go to her room. She said that Lily could not go to the pool until she learned to behave better. + +Lily was very sorry. She realized that she had been very selfish and rude. She wished she had listened to her mom and been happy with her swim suit and swim cap. She missed swimming and having fun. She decided to say sorry to her mom and promise to be more respectful and thankful. + +The next day, Lily went to her mom and hugged her. She said that she was sorry for what she did at the store. She said that she loved her mom and did not need the swim toy. She said that she wanted to go to the pool and swim with her mom. + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily back.

But then, she remembered something her mom had told her. "When you stumble, get back up and keep going." + +So, Lily got back up and ran to her house. She told her family about the tornado and they all went to the basement to hide. Luckily, the tornado didn't hit their house. + +The moral of the story is that even when we stumble, we can get back up and keep going. And sometimes, it's important to listen to our parents' advice. +Once upon a time, there was an old hunter. He loved to go into the forest to look for animals. One day, he set out early in the morning with his big gun. As he walked, he saw many birds and rabbits. But he wanted to catch a big deer. + +After a while, he saw a deer with big antlers.

Let's see who can pick up the most toys and put them in their pocket." + +Lily thought that was a great idea and started picking up her toys.

They put on their coats and shoes. They are ready to go. Mom and dad take them to the park. + +At the park, they see many other kids. They run to the swings and the slide. They have a lot of fun. They laugh and shout and swing and slide. + +But then, they see something else. They see a big red balloon. It is floating in the air. It is very pretty. They want to have it. + +"Look, a balloon!" Lily says. + +"Let's get it!" Ben says. + +They leave the swings and the slide. They run to the balloon. They try to catch it. But it is too high. They jump and stretch and reach. But they cannot have it. + +They are sad and frustrated. They want the balloon so much. They cry and whine and pout. + +Mom and dad see them. They come to them. + +"What's wrong, kids?" mom asks. + +"We want the balloon, but we can't have it," Lily says. + +"It's too high, we can't reach it," Ben says. + +Mom and dad hug them. They try to comfort them. + +"I'm sorry, kids, but you can't have the balloon. It belongs to someone else. Maybe they will let it go and it will fly away. Then no one can have it," mom says. + +"That's not fair. We want it. We want it. We want it," Lily and Ben say. + +Mom and dad shake their heads. They have an idea. + +"Listen, kids, we have something for you. Something better than a balloon. Something that you can have and keep and enjoy. Do you want to see it?" dad says. + +Lily and Ben stop crying. They are curious. They nod their heads. + +"Yes, we want to see it," they say. + +Mom and dad smile. They take them back to the swings and the slide. They show them a big basket. Inside the basket, there are many things. There are cookies and juice and sandwiches and fruits. There are books and toys and puzzles and crayons. There are hats and scarves and gloves and mittens. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Lily says. + +"These are for you, kids. These are your picnic and your presents. We brought them for you because we love you and we want you to be happy. You can have them and share them and play with them. Do you like them?" mom says. + +Lily and Ben are amazed. They are very happy and grateful. They hug their mom and dad. + +"Thank you, mom and dad. We love you and we love these things. We don't need the balloon. We have everything we want," they say. + +They have a wonderful picnic and a wonderful time. They eat and drink and read and draw and play. They wear their hats and scarves and gloves and mittens. They are warm and cozy and cozy and warm. + +They forget about the balloon. They don't see it anymore. It flies away and disappears. They don't care. They have something better. They have their mom and dad and their picnic and their presents. They have their Sunday. They have their happy. +Lily was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to make them talk and have tea parties. She had a pink dress for her favorite doll, Anna. She put the dress on Anna and said, "You look so pretty, Anna. Do you want some tea?" + +She reached for her toy teapot, but it was not on the table. She looked around and saw her brother, Max, holding it. He was laughing and running away. He was very rude. He always took her things and made fun of her. + +Lily was angry and sad. She wanted her teapot back. She ran after Max and shouted, "Give it back, Max! That's mine! You are mean!" + +Max ran into the living room, where Mom and Dad were. He hid behind the couch and said, "No, it's mine now! You can't have it!" + +Lily followed him and tried to grab the teapot. But Max was too fast and moved away. He stuck out his tongue and said, "Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah!" + +Lily felt tears in her eyes. She did not know what to do. She started to panic. She wanted her Mom and Dad to help her, but they were busy talking. She felt alone and scared. + +She did not like to fight with Max. She wished he would be nice to her. She wished he would share and play with her. She wished he would be her friend. + +She stopped running and sat on the floor. She put her thumb in her mouth and cried. She hoped Max would stop being rude and give her back her teapot. She hoped Mom and Dad would notice her and hug her. She hoped Anna would not be mad at her for losing her tea party. She hoped everything would be okay. +Lily was sad. She fell down and hurt her knee. It was red and sore. Mommy put a band-aid on it and gave her a hug. She said it would heal soon. + +Lily wanted to play with her dolls. She had a new skirt for her favorite doll, Anna. It was pink and sparkly. She liked it a lot. She put it on Anna and made her dance. + +But then, her brother Max came. He was naughty. He grabbed Anna and threw her on the floor. The skirt ripped and the sparkles fell off. Lily was very mad. She cried and yelled at Max. Max ran away. + +Mommy heard the noise and came back. She saw Lily and Anna. She was sorry. She picked up Anna and the skirt. She said she could fix it. She got a needle and some thread. She sewed the skirt back together. She glued the sparkles back on. She gave Anna and the skirt to Lily. She said they were good as new. + +Lily smiled. She hugged Anna and the skirt. She thanked Mommy. She said she was glad. She kissed her knee. She said it felt better. She played with Anna and the skirt. She was happy. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to attach different things together and make new toys. Ben attached a car to a plane and said, "Look, Mia, I made a flying car!" Mia attached a doll to a rocket and said, "Look, Ben, I made a space doll!" + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big, gray, spinning thing. It was a tornado. It was moving fast and picking up things from the ground. Ben and Mia were scared. They ran to their mom and dad, who were in the kitchen. + +"Mom, Dad, there's a tornado outside!" Ben shouted. + +"A tornado? Oh no, we have to go to the basement!" Mom said. + +She grabbed Ben and Mia and led them to the basement. Dad followed them with a flashlight and a radio. They closed the door and waited for the tornado to pass. + +The tornado was very loud and weird. It made strange sounds and shook the house. Ben and Mia hugged their mom and dad and hoped their toys were safe. They heard the radio say that the tornado was moving away and that it was safe to come out. + +Mom and Dad opened the door and went upstairs. Ben and Mia followed them. They looked out the window and saw that the tornado had made a big mess. There were trees, cars, and houses everywhere. But they also saw something funny. The tornado had attached different things together and left them on the ground. There was a cow attached to a bike, a lamp attached to a hat, and a boat attached to a fence. + +"Look, Mia, the tornado made new toys!" Ben said. + +"Look, Ben, the tornado made weird toys!" Mia said. + +They laughed and ran outside to see the weird toys. Mom and Dad smiled and followed them. They were happy that they were safe and that the tornado was gone. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a big truck made of steel. Lily has a doll with a fake dress. Tom likes his truck very much. He makes it go vroom vroom on the floor. Lily likes her doll very much. She makes it talk and sing. + +"Can I play with your truck, Tom?" Lily asks. She wants to try the steel truck. + +"No, you can't. It's mine. Go play with your doll," Tom says. He does not want to share his truck. + +"Please, Tom. Just for a little bit. I'll let you play with my doll," Lily says. She thinks the doll is nice. + +"No, no, no. I don't want your doll. It's fake. It's not real. My truck is real. It's steel. It's strong," Tom says. He refuses to share his truck. + +Lily feels sad. She does not like Tom's words. She thinks he is mean. She picks up her doll and hugs it. + +"Fine. I don't want your truck either. It's loud. It's dirty. It's not fun. My doll is fun. It's pretty. It's soft," Lily says. She walks away from Tom. + +Tom feels angry. He does not like Lily's words. He thinks she is rude. He pushes his truck harder on the floor. + +"See? My truck is the best. It can go fast. It can make noise. It can do anything," Tom says. He tries to show off his truck. + +But then, his truck hits a chair. It makes a loud bang. It breaks a wheel. It stops moving. + +Tom feels sad. He does not like his truck anymore. He looks at Lily. She is playing with her doll. She is smiling. She is happy. + +"Can I play with your doll, Lily?" Tom asks. He wants to try the doll. + +Lily looks at Tom. She sees his broken truck. She sees his sad face. She feels sorry for him. + +"Okay, Tom. You can play with my doll. But you have to be nice. You have to share. You have to say sorry," Lily says. She gives him her doll. + +Tom takes the doll. He feels the fake dress. He hears the doll talk and sing. He feels happy. He smiles. + +"Thank you, Lily. I'm sorry. Your doll is nice. It's real. It's fun," Tom says. He shares his doll with Lily. + +Lily takes the doll. She feels the soft hair. She sees the pretty eyes. She feels happy. She smiles. + +"You're welcome, Tom. Your truck is nice too. It's real. It's strong. Maybe we can fix it," Lily says. She shares her truck with Tom. + +Tom and Lily play with their toys together. They are friends. They are happy. The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big box near the trees. It had many masks inside. Some were scary, some were funny, some were pretty. + +"Let's try them on!" Lily said. She picked a mask with a big nose and ears. She put it on her face and made a funny sound. Tom laughed. He picked a mask with a long beard and a hat. He put it on his face and pretended to be a wizard. + +They ran around the park with their masks on. They made other children laugh and scream. They had a lot of fun. + +But they did not see a little dog that was watching them. The dog did not like the masks. He thought they were strange and bad. He wanted to chase them away. He barked and growled and ran after them. + +Tom and Lily heard the dog. They were scared. They ran away from the dog. They dropped their masks on the ground. They ran to their mom and dad. + +"Help! Help! A dog is chasing us!" they cried. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and calmed them down. They looked at the dog. It was a little dog. It was not very scary. It was just curious and playful. It picked up one of the masks and ran away with it. + +"Look, he likes your mask!" their dad said. + +Tom and Lily looked at the dog. They saw that he was not mean. He was just silly. They smiled and laughed. + +"Maybe he wants to play with us!" Lily said. + +"Maybe he does!" Tom said. + +They ran after the dog with their masks on. They played with him and his mask. They made friends with him. They had more fun. +Sara and Tom were playing with bricks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with bricks. Sara had many pretty bricks. They were red and yellow and blue and green. Tom had only gray bricks. He wanted some pretty bricks too. + +"Can I have some of your pretty bricks, Sara?" Tom asked. + +"No, they are mine. You have your own bricks," Sara said. + +"But your bricks are nicer. Please, can I have some?" Tom begged. + +"No, go away. I want to build a big tower and win," Sara said. She was not nice to Tom. + +Tom was sad and angry. He did not like Sara. He wanted to make her sorry. He waited until Sara was not looking. Then he pushed her big tower with his hand. The tower fell down and the bricks broke. Sara cried. + +"Ha ha, now you have no pretty bricks. I win," Tom said. He was not nice to Sara. + +But then Sara's mom came. She saw what Tom did. She was very mad. She took Tom's bricks and gave them to Sara. She told Tom to go home and never play with Sara again. Tom cried. + +Sara was happy. She had all the bricks now. She did not care that Tom was sad. She was not nice to Tom. She started to build a new tower. But then a big dog came. The dog saw the bricks. He thought they were toys. He ran to the bricks and bit them. He made a big mess. He broke all the bricks. Sara cried. + +The dog was happy. He had many toys now. He did not care that Sara was sad. He was not nice to Sara. He ran away with the bricks. He won. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they found a long rope on the ground. They decided to use it for a game. + +"Let's play marry," Lily said. "You be the groom and I be the bride." + +"OK," Tom said. "But how do we play?" + +Lily wrapped the rope around their hands. "This is the ring," she said. "Now we say 'I do' and then we kiss." + +Tom nodded. He was a little shy, but he liked Lily. He said "I do" and leaned in to kiss her. + +But then, a big dog came running towards them. It barked loudly and showed its teeth. Lily and Tom were frightened. They tried to run away, but the rope was still around their hands. They tripped and fell on the grass. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "The dog is going to bite us!" + +Luckily, a man saw them and came to help. He shooed the dog away and untied the rope. He asked them if they were OK. + +"We're OK," Lily said. "But we were playing marry and the dog scared us." + +The man smiled. He said, "You're too young to play marry. That's for grown-ups. And you shouldn't use a rope as a ring. That's dangerous. Here, take this instead." He gave them a shiny coin each. + +Lily and Tom thanked him. They put the coins in their pockets. They decided to play something else. They were still best friends, but they didn't want to play marry anymore. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go to the hill, Sue!" Tom says. "It looks fun!" + +"OK, Tom!" Sue says. "But we should invite Sam, too. He is our friend and he likes to play with us." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He does not want to invite Sam. He thinks Sam is slow and heavy. He thinks Sam will make them tired and bored. + +"No, Sue," Tom says. "We don't need Sam. He is too heavy to go up the hill. He will slow us down. He will not have fun. Let's go by ourselves." + +Sue feels sad. She likes Sam. She thinks he is kind and funny. She thinks he will have fun with them. But she does not want to make Tom angry. She says nothing and follows Tom to the hill. + +They start to climb the hill. It is hard. The hill is steep and rocky. Tom and Sue get tired and thirsty. They wish they had water and snacks. They wish they had someone to help them and talk to them. + +They reach the top of the hill. They look around. They see trees and flowers and birds. They see a lake and a bridge and a house. They see Sam. He is sitting on a bench. He has water and snacks. He has a smile. + +"Hi, Tom and Sue!" Sam says. "I'm glad you made it to the hill. I saw you from the house. My grandma lives here. She invited me to visit her. She gave me water and snacks. She told me to wait for you. She wants to meet you and invite you to her house. Do you want to come?" + +Tom and Sue feel ashamed. They feel sorry for being mean to Sam. They feel happy to see him. They say yes to Sam. They say sorry to Sam. They say thank you to Sam. They go with Sam to his grandma's house. They have fun with Sam and his grandma. They learn a lesson. They learn to be kind and to invite their friends. They learn that being heavy does not mean being bad. They learn that being friends means being good. +Lila was a youth who loved to feed the animals at the farm. She liked to give hay to the cows, carrots to the rabbits, and corn to the chickens. She always felt happy when the animals ate from her hand and made noises. + +One day, Lila saw a new animal at the farm. It was a big, brown horse with a long mane and a tail. Lila wanted to feed the horse, but she was anxious. She had never fed a horse before. She wondered if the horse would bite her or kick her. + +She asked her mom if she could feed the horse. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful and gentle. She gave Lila a red apple and told her to hold it flat on her palm. Lila walked slowly to the horse and held out the apple. The horse looked at her with big, black eyes and sniffed the apple. Then, it took a bite and chewed. Lila felt the horse's soft lips and teeth on her hand. She smiled and stroked the horse's nose. The horse nuzzled her and made a whinny. + +Lila was not anxious anymore. She had fed a horse and made a new friend. She felt proud and happy. She thanked her mom and the horse and ran to feed the other animals. She had a lot of fun at the farm. +Ben was a boy who liked to play outside. He liked to look at the flowers, the birds and the insects. He had a jar where he kept some insects that he found. He had a butterfly, a ladybug and a grasshopper. + +One day, he wanted to show his jar to his friend Lily. He ran to her house with his jar in his hand. He knocked on the door and Lily opened it. She smiled and said hello to Ben. + +Ben said, "Look, I have some insects in my jar. Do you want to see them?" He held up his jar and shook it a little. Lily looked at the jar and saw the insects. She frowned and said, "No, I don't like insects. They are icky and scary. Why do you keep them in a jar?" + +Ben was troubled. He liked his insects. He thought they were pretty and interesting. He said, "But they are not icky and scary. They are nice and friendly. They have colors and wings and legs. They can fly and jump and crawl. They are fun to watch." + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, they are not fun. They are gross and creepy. They can bite and sting and buzz. They make me itch and sneeze and cry. I don't want to watch them." + +Ben was sad. He wanted Lily to like his insects. He wanted to share his jar with her. He said, "Please, Lily, just look at them for a moment. Maybe you will change your mind. Maybe you will like them too." + +Lily sighed and said, "Okay, Ben, I will look at them for a moment. But only for a moment. And don't shake the jar too much. And don't open it. I don't want them to get out." + +Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Lily, I won't shake the jar too much. And I won't open it. I promise." He brought the jar closer to Lily and pointed at the butterfly. He said, "Look, this is a butterfly. It has wings with spots and stripes. It can fly in the air and land on flowers. It likes nectar and pollen. It is very beautiful." + +Lily looked at the butterfly and said, "Hmm, it is kind of beautiful. It has nice colors and shapes. It does look like a flower. But it can also fly away and leave you. And it can flap its wings and make dust. And it can get caught in a spider web. I don't think I like it very much." + +Ben moved the jar and pointed at the ladybug. He said, "Look, this is a ladybug. It has a red shell with black dots. It can crawl on the ground and on plants. It likes aphids and leaves. It is very cute." + +Lily looked at the ladybug and said, "Hmm, it is kind of cute. It has a round shape and a shiny shell. It does look like a dot. But it can also bite you and make you hurt. And it can fly away and hide. And it can get squished by a shoe. I don't think I like it very much." + +Ben moved the jar and pointed at the grasshopper. He said, "Look, this is a grasshopper. It has a green body with long legs. It can jump very high and very far. It likes grass and seeds. It is very cool." + +Lily looked at the grasshopper and said, "Hmm, it is kind of cool. It has a strong shape and a long jump. It does look like a spring. But it can also make a loud noise and make you scared. And it can hop away and get lost. And it can eat your plants and make them die. I don't think I like it very much." + +Ben was disappointed. He tried to show Lily his insects, but she did not like any of them. He said, "Well, Lily, I guess you don't like insects at all. I'm sorry. I thought you would like them. I like them a lot. They are my friends." + +Lily said, "I'm sorry too, Ben. I don't like insects at all. They are not my friends. They are my enemies. But you are my friend. And I like you a lot. You are nice and funny and smart. You can play with your insects if you want. But I don't want to play with them. I want to play with something else. Do you want to play with something else?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He looked at his jar and at his insects. He liked them a lot. But he also liked Lily a lot. He wanted to play with her. He said, "Okay, Lily, I will play with something else. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the yard. One day, they found a dead bird on the grass. It had no feathers and its eyes were closed. + +"Look, a bird!" Tim said. + +"Is it sleeping?" Sam asked. + +"No, it is dead. That means it is not alive anymore. It cannot fly or sing or eat," Tim explained. + +"Why is it dead?" Sam wondered. + +"Maybe a cat caught it. Or maybe it was sick. Or maybe it was old. I don't know," Tim shrugged. + +They poked the bird with a stick. It was hard and cold. It smelled bad. + +"Yuck, it stinks!" Sam said. + +"That's because it is rotting. That means it is breaking down and turning into dirt. The sun and the bugs and the worms help it rot," Tim said. + +"Can we keep it?" Sam asked. + +"No, we can't. It is not a toy. It is a dead thing. We have to bury it or throw it away. Or mom will be mad," Tim said. + +They decided to bury the bird. They dug a hole with their hands and put the bird inside. They covered it with dirt and grass. They said goodbye to the bird. + +"Bye, bird. We are sorry you are dead. We hope you are happy in the sky," they said. + +They went back to their house and washed their hands. They told mom what they did. Mom was proud of them for being kind and brave. She gave them a hug and a cookie. They smiled and ate their cookie. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were making ornaments for the tree. They had paper, glue, glitter and stickers. Anna liked to make stars and hearts. Ben liked to make snowmen and trees. + +"Look at my ornament!" Anna said, holding up a glittery star. "It is very pretty!" + +Ben looked at his ornament. It was a snowman with a sticker hat and a glue smile. He thought it was not very good. He wanted to improve it. + +"Can I have some glitter?" he asked Anna. + +"OK, but be careful. Glitter is messy," Anna said, and gave him some glitter. + +Ben sprinkled glitter on his snowman. He thought it looked better, but he wanted to improve it more. + +"Can I have some more stickers?" he asked Anna. + +"OK, but not too many. Stickers are hard to peel," Anna said, and gave him some more stickers. + +Ben stuck stickers on his snowman. He thought it looked even better, but he wanted to improve it even more. + +"Can I have some more glue?" he asked Anna. + +"No, you have enough glue. Glue is sticky," Anna said, and did not give him more glue. + +Ben was sad. He wanted to make his ornament the best. He looked around and saw a scissors. He had an idea. + +He took the scissors and cut his snowman. He cut off the head, the arms, the hat and the smile. He thought he could make a new ornament with the pieces. + +But he was wrong. He only made a mess. His snowman was gone. He had no ornament. + +He started to cry. + +Anna heard him cry and came to see. She saw the mess and the scissors. She was angry. + +"What did you do?" she asked Ben. + +"I wanted to improve my ornament," Ben said, sobbing. + +"That was not improving. That was ruining. You ruined your ornament and made a mess. You were very naughty," Anna said. + +She took away the scissors and the glitter. She cleaned up the mess. She was not happy. + +Ben felt sorry. He wished he had not cut his snowman. He wished he had listened to Anna. He wished he had a nice ornament like her. + +He said sorry to Anna. + +"Sorry, Anna. I was naughty. I did not mean to ruin my ornament. Can you help me make a new one?" he asked. + +Anna looked at him. She saw he was sorry. She felt sorry for him too. + +She smiled and said, "OK, Ben. I will help you make a new one. But you have to be careful and listen to me. And you have to use simple things. No scissors, no glitter, no glue." + +"OK, Anna. I will be careful and listen to you. And I will use simple things. Thank you, Anna," Ben said. + +They hugged and made a new ornament together. They used paper and crayons. They made a simple snowman with a crayon hat and a crayon smile. They thought it was very good. + +They hung their ornaments on the tree. They were proud of their ornaments. They improved their ornaments. They improved their friendship. They were happy. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big slide at the park. It was shiny and white, because it was very cold and there was ice on it. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lily said. "It looks fun!" + +Sam was not sure. He thought the slide looked scary. He said, "But it is icy. What if we slip and fall?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Sam. We can hold hands and go together. It will be like a show. We can perform for the other kids!" + +Sam liked the idea of performing. He wanted to be brave like Lily. He said, "Okay, let's do it!" + +They climbed up the stairs and sat on the slide. They held hands and counted to three. Then they pushed off and slid down the icy slide. They went very fast and felt the wind in their hair. They laughed and screamed with joy. + +The other kids at the park watched them and clapped. They thought Lily and Sam were cool and brave. Lily and Sam felt happy and proud. They had performed a great show on the icy slide. They hugged each other and said, "That was fun! Let's do it again!" +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. Yesterday, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide. They wanted to try it. + +"Wow, look at that slide!" Lily said. "It is so impressive. Can we go on it, mom?" + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. It is very high and fast," Lily's mom said. + +Lily and Max ran to the slide. They waited for their turn. Then they climbed up the stairs. Lily went first. She slid down very fast. She laughed and shouted. "This is so fun!" + +Max followed her. He slid down too. He smiled and said. "This is awesome!" + +At the bottom of the slide, they met a boy. He had curly hair and a red shirt. He was holding a ball. + +"Hi, I'm Sam. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. This is Max. We are friends. Yes, we want to play with you," Lily said. + +"OK, let's play catch. I'll throw the ball to you, and you catch it," Sam said. + +They played catch for a while. They had a lot of fun. They shared the ball and took turns. They became friends too. + +Lily, Max, and Sam had a great time at the park. They liked the slide and the ball. They liked each other. They said goodbye and hugged. They hoped to see each other again soon. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the woods. They had a hut made of sticks and leaves, where they kept their toys and snacks. One day, they decided to have a tea party in their hut. + +They set up a table with cups and plates, and pretended to pour tea and eat cookies. They talked in funny voices and made each other laugh. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, a big wind came and blew their hut away. The sticks and leaves flew in the air and landed on the ground. Lily and Tom were sad. They had worked hard to build their hut. + +"Let's make another hut," Lily said. "We can find more sticks and leaves." + +"No, I don't want to," Tom said. He was stubborn. "I want to go home. It's too windy here." + +"But we can still play," Lily said. "We can make a new game. Maybe we can be birds and fly in the wind." + +Tom shook his head. He didn't want to play anymore. He wanted his hut back. + +Lily tried to cheer him up. She flapped her arms and made bird noises. She flew around him and tickled him. She hoped he would laugh and join her. + +But Tom didn't laugh. He pushed her away and ran to his bike. He rode away without saying goodbye. + +Lily was sad and angry. She didn't understand why Tom was so stubborn. She wished he would laugh and play with her. She sat on the ground and cried. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park with their dog, Rex. They liked to run, jump, and slide on the grass and the swings. Rex liked to chase the birds and the squirrels. + +One day, they saw a small, brown animal with a long, fluffy tail. It was a squirrel. It was holding a peanut in its mouth. Rex saw it too and ran after it. The squirrel was scared and ran up a tree. Rex barked and jumped at the tree, but he could not reach the squirrel. + +"Rex, stop!" Tom shouted. "Leave the squirrel alone!" + +But Rex did not listen. He wanted the peanut. He barked louder and louder. + +The squirrel was very scared. It trembled on a branch. It did not want to drop the peanut. It looked down and saw Tom and Mia. + +"Please, help me!" the squirrel said in a small voice. + +Tom and Mia heard the squirrel. They were surprised. They did not know squirrels could talk. + +"Rex, come here!" Mia said. "The squirrel is scared. He is our friend. He needs our help." + +Mia was very kind and helpful. She took a biscuit from her pocket and threw it to Rex. Rex smelled the biscuit and ran to get it. He forgot about the squirrel and the peanut. + +"Thank you, thank you!" the squirrel said. "You are very nice and helpful. Here, you can have my peanut. It is a gift for you." + +The squirrel threw the peanut to Tom and Mia. They caught it and smiled. + +"Thank you, squirrel!" they said. "You are very nice and helpful too. We are sorry Rex scared you. He is a good dog, but he likes to chase things. Do you want to be our friend?" + +The squirrel nodded and smiled. He came down from the tree and joined Tom, Mia, and Rex. They played together in the park and shared the peanut and the biscuit. They were very happy. They had a new friend. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play in the garden. He had a big bucket and a small shovel. He dug holes and filled them with dirt and rocks. He was happy. + +One day, he saw something shiny in the dirt. He dug faster and faster. He pulled out a metal ring with a green stone. It was pretty. He put it on his finger. He felt funny. + +He heard a voice in his head. It was old and mean. It said, "I am the ring of wisdom. I know everything. You are my master now. You must do what I say. You are ugly and stupid. You must be mean to everyone." + +Tom was scared. He did not like the voice. He did not like the ring. He wanted to take it off. But it was stuck. He cried. + +His mom came and saw him. She saw the ring. She knew what it was. She had read a story about it. She said, "Tom, this is a bad ring. It is not wisdom. It is a lie. You are not ugly and stupid. You are beautiful and smart. You are not mean. You are kind. You can take it off. You just have to say, 'I don't need you. I don't want you. Go away.'" + +Tom listened to his mom. He said the words. He felt the ring loosen. He took it off. He threw it in the trash. He hugged his mom. He said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. You have real wisdom. I love you." + +He never played with the ring again. He learned a lesson. He was happy. +Lily and Ben were on the same team for the big race. They had to run, jump, and step over many things to get to the end. Lily was very fast and Ben was very strong. They liked to help each other and have fun. + +Before the race, they saw another team that looked very crazy. They had funny hats, loud noises, and silly faces. They tried to scare Lily and Ben and make them lose. They said, "You are too slow and weak. We will win and you will cry." + +Lily and Ben did not like the crazy team. They felt angry and scared. But they did not give up. They said, "We are not slow and weak. We are fast and strong. We will win and you will smile." + +The race started and Lily and Ben ran as fast as they could. They jumped over logs, stepped over rocks, and dodged the funny hats. The crazy team tried to catch them and stop them, but they were too late. Lily and Ben reached the end and won the race. + +They were very happy and proud. They hugged each other and smiled. The crazy team was very sad and mad. They threw their hats and noises and faces. They said, "You are not fair and nice. You are mean and bad. We will get you next time." + +Lily and Ben did not care. They said, "We are fair and nice. We are not mean and bad. We are a good team and we have fun." They walked away and left the crazy team behind. They had a big party with their friends and celebrated their win. +Tom was a boy who liked to cut things. He cut paper, he cut cloth, he cut his sister's doll. He had a big pair of scissors that he hid under his bed. He thought it was fun to make new shapes and sounds with his scissors. + +One day, he saw his dad's hat on the chair. His dad was bald and he wore the hat to keep his head warm. Tom thought the hat was boring and plain. He wanted to make it more fun. He took his scissors and cut a big strip from the hat. He laughed and ran away with the strip. + +His dad came home and saw his hat. He was very angry and sad. He looked for Tom and found him in his room. He saw the strip of hat on the floor. He asked Tom why he cut his hat. Tom said he wanted to make it fun. His dad said he did not make it fun, he made it bad. He said he needed his hat to cover his bald head. He said Tom was naughty and he had to say sorry. + +Tom felt bad. He did not know his dad needed his hat. He did not want to make his dad angry and sad. He said sorry to his dad and gave him a hug. He said he would not cut his hat again. He said he would find a new thing to cut. + +His dad smiled and hugged him back. He said he loved him and he forgave him. He said he would buy a new hat. He said he would help him find a better thing to cut. He said he would teach him how to cut paper and cloth and make nice things. He said they would have fun together. Tom was happy and said yes. He put his scissors away and went with his dad. +One day, a little dog named Spot was looking for food. He was very hungry and had no home. He saw a big pit with many bones inside. He thought, "Wow, this is a great supply of food for me! I can eat as much as I want and no one will bother me." + +He jumped into the pit and started to gnaw on a bone. He felt happy and full. But then he heard a loud roar. He looked up and saw a big lion standing at the edge of the pit. The lion was angry and said, "How dare you steal my food! This is my pit and these are my bones! You are a greedy and foolish dog. Now you will pay for your mistake!" + +Spot was very scared and sorry. He realized that he had been selfish and rude. He said, "Please, Mr. Lion, forgive me. I did not know this was your pit. I was very hungry and had no food. I will never do this again. Please let me go. I am a humble and small dog. I am not worth your anger." + +The lion looked at Spot and felt pity. He said, "You are lucky that I am not hungry today. I will spare your life, but you must learn a lesson. Never take what is not yours. Always respect others and share what you have. That is the way to live in peace and harmony." + +He helped Spot out of the pit and gave him a small bone. He said, "Take this and go. And remember, be humble and grateful for what you have. There is enough for everyone if we are generous and kind." + +Spot thanked the lion and ran away. He felt ashamed and grateful. He learned a valuable lesson that day. He decided to look for a new home and a new friend. He hoped to find someone who would love him and share with him. He never forgot the lion and his mercy. He always tried to be humble and kind. +Lily hated bears. She thought they were big and scary and mean. She did not like to see them in books or on TV or in her dreams. She always told her mom and dad to take away any bear toys or pictures from her room. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. They saw a lot of animals there, like ducks and squirrels and rabbits. Lily liked them and wanted to feed them. But then she saw something that made her scream. It was a bear! + +The bear was not real. It was a man in a costume. He was there to make the children happy and give them hugs. He saw Lily and smiled. He walked towards her and said, "Hello, little girl. Do you want a hug from a friendly bear?" + +Lily was very afraid. She hid behind her mom and dad and shook her head. She said, "No, no, no! I hate bears! Go away, go away, go away!" + +The man in the costume felt sad. He did not want to scare Lily. He wanted to make her laugh. He said, "I'm sorry, little girl. I'm not a real bear. I'm just a man who likes to dress up as a bear. See?" He lifted his mask and showed his face. He had a long beard and a big nose. + +Lily looked at him and felt a little bit curious. He did not look like a bear anymore. He looked like a funny man. She said, "You have a long beard. Like a goat." + +The man laughed. He said, "Yes, I do. Do you like goats?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I like goats. They are cute and soft and friendly." + +The man said, "Well, then, maybe you can like me too. I'm also cute and soft and friendly. Can I give you a hug now?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She decided to be brave and try something new. She said, "OK. But only a little hug. And don't put your mask back on. I still don't like bears." + +The man smiled. He said, "OK. A little hug it is. And no more mask. I promise." He gave Lily a gentle hug and she hugged him back. She felt his beard tickle her cheek and she giggled. + +Lily's mom and dad watched them and smiled too. They were proud of Lily for being brave and kind. They said, "Good job, Lily. You made a new friend today." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, I did. A funny friend with a long beard." +Sam and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they both wanted the same lamp. The lamp was shiny and had a switch that made it turn on and off. + +"Give me the lamp!" Sam said. He tried to grab it from Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She held the lamp tight. + +They pulled and pushed, but neither of them would yield. The lamp swung in the air and hit the wall. It broke with a loud crash. + +"Oh no!" Sam and Lily said. They looked at the broken lamp. It was smelly and had smoke coming out of it. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and was angry. + +"What did you do?" Mom asked. She picked up the lamp and threw it in the trash. + +"Sorry, Mom," Sam and Lily said. They felt bad. + +Mom sighed. She hugged them and said, "It's okay, but you need to learn to share and be careful. The lamp was old and dangerous. Next time, play with something else." + +Sam and Lily nodded. They said they were sorry again and went to play with their blocks. They decided to share and be nice to each other. They did not want to break anything else. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. They had a favorite spot under a big tree, where they had dug a tunnel with their shovels. They pretended it was a secret cave where they could hide from monsters and pirates. + +One day, they were playing in the tunnel when they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog that had followed them from the street. The dog was barking and sniffing around the tree, trying to find them. + +"Shh, don't make a sound," Tim whispered to Sam. "Maybe he will go away." + +But Sam was scared and impatient. He wanted to get out of the tunnel and run to their mom, who was sitting on a bench nearby. He did not like the dog's noise and smell. + +"I don't like it here," Sam said. "Let's go, Tim. Mom will protect us." + +"No, Sam, we have to stay quiet," Tim said. "If we mention the tunnel, the dog will hear us and find us. He might bite us or ruin our cave. Be brave, Sam. He will leave soon." + +But Sam did not listen to Tim. He was too afraid and impatient. He crawled out of the tunnel and shouted, "Mom, mom, help us! There is a big dog here!" + +The dog heard Sam's voice and saw him coming out of the tunnel. He ran towards him, wagging his tail and licking his face. He was not a mean dog, he was just curious and friendly. But Sam did not know that. He screamed and cried, thinking the dog was attacking him. + +Tim came out of the tunnel and tried to calm Sam down. He also petted the dog and said, "It's okay, Sam. He is not a bad dog. He just wants to play with us. See, he is nice and soft." + +Mom heard the commotion and came to see what was going on. She saw Tim, Sam and the dog under the tree. She smiled and said, "Oh, what a cute dog. Is he yours?" + +"No, mom, he followed us from the street," Tim said. "He found our tunnel and scared Sam. But he is not a bad dog, he is a good dog." + +Mom hugged Sam and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. You must have been very frightened. But you are safe now. The dog is not here to hurt you. He is just a playful pup. Do you want to pet him?" + +Sam nodded and wiped his tears. He reached out his hand and touched the dog's fur. The dog licked his hand and wagged his tail. Sam smiled and said, "He is nice and soft. I like him." + +Mom said, "That's good, Sam. Maybe we can ask his owner if we can play with him again. What do you think, Tim?" + +Tim nodded and said, "Yes, mom. That would be fun. Maybe he can join us in our tunnel. He can be our guard dog." + +The dog barked and jumped around them, happy to have made new friends. Tim, Sam and mom laughed and played with him, until his owner came to take him home. They said goodbye to the dog and thanked him for the fun. Then they went back to their tunnel, where they continued their adventure. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play and make things. One day, they decide to design a picnic. They get a big cloth and some toys. They put the cloth on the grass and the toys on the cloth. They pretend the toys are food and drinks. + +"Look, I have a sandwich and a juice," Anna says. She shows Ben a teddy bear and a ball. + +"Yum, that looks good," Ben says. He shows Anna a doll and a car. "I have a cake and a milk." + +They sit on the cloth and pretend to eat and drink. They talk and laugh. They have fun. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog sees the toys and runs to them. He wants to play too. He grabs the teddy bear and the doll. He shakes them and makes noise. + +"Hey, stop!" Anna shouts. She is angry. "That is our picnic!" + +"Go away!" Ben shouts. He is scared. "That is our food!" + +The dog does not listen. He thinks they are playing. He runs around with the toys. He makes a mess. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They try to get their toys back. But the dog is too fast and too strong. They need help. + +They see a man. The man is the dog's owner. He is serious. He sees the dog and the toys. He sees Anna and Ben. + +"Bad dog!" the man says. He is angry. "Drop the toys!" + +The dog drops the toys. He looks sorry. He wags his tail. + +The man picks up the toys. He gives them to Anna and Ben. He says sorry. + +"Are you OK?" the man asks. He is kind. + +Anna and Ben nod. They are OK. They take their toys. They say thank you. + +The man and the dog leave. Anna and Ben look at their picnic. It is ruined. The cloth is dirty and the toys are wet. + +They are sad. But they are also friends. They hug each other. They smile. + +"Let's design a new picnic," Anna says. She is brave. + +"OK," Ben says. He is happy. + +They get a new cloth and some new toys. They put them on the grass. They pretend again. They have fun. They are happy. +Anna and Ben like to play with dough. They have many colors of dough. They can make animals, cars, flowers and more. They pretend they have a big zoo with many dough animals. + +One day, they play outside with their dough. They find a big pile of dirt. They think it is fun to mix dirt and dough. They make dirty dough animals. They pretend they have a wild jungle with many dirty dough animals. + +"Look, I made a dirty dough lion!" Anna says. She shows Ben her lion. It has dirt for its mane and eyes. + +"Wow, that is a good lion!" Ben says. He makes a dirty dough elephant. It has dirt for its ears and trunk. + +They put their dirty dough animals on the grass. They pretend they are zookeepers. They feed them grass and water. They talk to them and pet them. + +But then, their mom comes. She sees their dirty dough animals. She is not happy. + +"Anna and Ben, what have you done?" she asks. "You have made a big mess with your dough and dirt. You have to clean up now. And you have to wash your hands and faces. They are very dirty too." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They like their dirty dough animals. They do not want to clean up. + +"Can we keep them, mom?" Anna asks. "They are our friends." + +"No, you cannot keep them," mom says. "They are not real animals. They are just dough and dirt. They will get hard and dry. And they will attract bugs and germs. You have to throw them away." + +Anna and Ben sigh. They say goodbye to their dirty dough animals. They pick them up and put them in a trash bag. They follow their mom inside. They wash their hands and faces. They put away their clean dough. + +They are still sad. But they know they can make new dough animals tomorrow. And they will not mix them with dirt. They will pretend they have a clean zoo with many clean dough animals. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big hill with a lot of mud. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +They ran to the hill and started to go up. The mud was slippery and sticky. They got dirty and wet. But they did not care. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +When they reached the top, they saw a big pond with ducks and frogs. They were happy and wanted to see them closer. They ran to the pond and looked at the water. + +But then, a big dog appeared. It was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. It barked and growled at them. It wanted to chase them away. Lily and Tom were scared and ran back to the hill. + +They slid down the mud and fell on the grass. They were safe but very messy. They looked at each other and cried. They wanted to go home and get clean. + +But then, they saw their mom and dad. They came to the park to pick them up. They saw them and smiled. They were not angry or sad. They thought they were charming and brave. They hugged them and kissed them and took them to the car. + +They said they had a big adventure and saw a lot of things. They said they were sorry for the mud and the dog. Mom and dad said it was okay and they loved them. They said they would give them a bath and a snack and a story. + +Lily and Tom were happy and tired. They snuggled in the car and closed their eyes. They dreamed of the park and the pond and the ducks and the frogs. And they forgot about the mud and the dog. +Lila and Sam were friends who liked to play on the beach. They made sand castles and looked for shells and crabs. Sometimes they saw big waves that came and went. They learned that this was called the tide. + +One day, they saw a big boat on the water. It had many people and things on it. They wondered what it was doing. They asked their mom, who was sitting on a towel. + +"That is a boat that brings help to other places," mom said. "They have food and water and medicine for people who need them. They are very kind and brave." + +Lila and Sam thought that was amazing. They wanted to help too. They decided to make a sign with sticks and stones that said "Thank you". They put it on the sand where the boat could see it. + +The next day, the tide was low and the boat was closer to the shore. The people on the boat saw the sign and smiled. They waved to Lila and Sam, who waved back. They felt happy and proud. They had made new friends who were doing good things.

They were sad and angry. + +"Look what you did!" Lily said. + +"You did it!" Max said. + +They started to complain and cry. Mom heard them and came outside. + +"What is wrong, my loves?" Mom asked. + +"Lily and Max pointed at the worm and each other. + +"She/he broke my worm!" they said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. Worms are not toys. They are living things. You should be gentle with them. How about we make a patch for the worm and put it back in the ground?" + +Lily and Max nodded. Mom got some tape and paper and helped them make a patch for the worm. They put the worm back in the hole and covered it with dirt. + +"Maybe the worm will feel better now," Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom," Lily and Max said. + +Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, my loves. Now, how about some yummy cookies and milk?" + +Lily and Max cheered and ran inside. They forgot about the worm and their fight. They shared the cookies and milk and said sorry to each other.

Can I try?" Lily asks, as she picks up her car. + +"Sure, Lily, but be careful. The ice is very slippery and you might freeze!" Ben says, as he laughs. + +Lily and Ben take turns sliding their cars on the floor. They have a lot of fun, but they also make a lot of noise. They do not hear their mom coming into the room. + +"Hey, you two, what are you doing?" Mom says, as she sees the mess on the floor. "You have made the carpet very dirty with your cars. And why are you playing with the switch?" + +Lily and Ben look at the switch on the wall. They did not know what it was, but they thought it was fun to turn it on and off. They did not know that it was the switch for the heater. + +"Sorry, Mom, we did not know. We were just playing with our cars on the ice," Lily says, as she puts her car down. + +"Yeah, Mom, we did not mean to make the carpet dirty or to freeze the house," Ben says, as he does the same. + +Mom sighs and smiles. She knows that Lily and Ben are just curious and playful. She also knows that they are cold and hungry. + +"It's okay, my loves, but you have to be more careful next time. The switch is not a toy, it is for the heater. If you turn it off, the house will get very cold and you will freeze. If you turn it on, the house will get warm and cozy. Do you understand?" Mom says, as she shows them how the switch works. + +Lily and Ben nod and say sorry again. They hug Mom and say they love her. + +"I love you too, my loves. Now, let's go to the kitchen and have some hot chocolate and cookies. How does that sound?" Mom says, as she leads them to the kitchen. + +Lily and Ben smile and follow Mom. They are happy and warm. They think that hot chocolate and cookies are much better than ice and snow. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pink pie on a table.

He pulls the laser away from Mia. + +"Please, Ben, let me have a turn!" Mia says. She tries to grab the laser again. + +"No, Mia, go away!" Ben says. He pushes Mia with his hand. + +Mia falls on the floor and starts to cry. She feels hurt and sad. Ben feels bad too. He sees that he made Mia cry.

You can make the light do many things." + +They share the laser and play together. They point the light at different things and make up stories. They are happy and have fun. +Sam liked to watch movies with his dad. They had a big TV and a box that played the movies. Sam's dad would pick a movie that they both liked, and they would sit on the couch with some popcorn and juice. + +One day, they watched a movie about a famous man who could fly and had a big S on his shirt. Sam thought he was very cool and strong. He wanted to be like him when he grew up. He asked his dad many questions about the man and his powers. + +"Can he fly to the moon?" Sam asked. + +"Maybe, but he likes to stay on Earth and help people," his dad said. + +"Can he lift a car?" Sam asked. + +"Yes, he can lift anything. He's very strong," his dad said. + +"Can he stop bad guys?" Sam asked. + +"Of course, he's a hero. He always stops the bad guys," his dad said. + +Sam watched the movie with wonder and excitement.

Sam was confused and scared. + +"Dad, what happened? Where's the man?" Sam cried. + +His dad looked at the box and saw a red light. He realized what happened. + +"Oh, no. The box ran out of power. We need to plug it in," his dad said. + +He got up and looked for the cord. He found it behind the TV. He tried to plug it in, but it was too short. He needed to move the TV closer to the wall. + +"Sam, can you help me?" his dad asked. + +Sam nodded and got up. He went to the other side of the TV and pushed it with his dad. They moved it a little bit, but it was still too far. + +"Sam, can you pause the movie?" his dad asked. + +Sam looked at the box and saw a button with a symbol that looked like two fingers. He remembered that his dad told him that this button could pause the movie. + +"OK, dad. I can pause the movie," Sam said. + +He pressed the button and heard a click. The screen came back on, but the movie did not move. It was paused. + +"Good job, Sam. You paused the movie. Now we can plug it in," his dad said. + +He reached for the cord and plugged it in. The box had power again. + +"Sam, can you unpause the movie?" his dad asked. + +Sam looked at the box and saw another button with a symbol that looked like a triangle. He remembered that his dad told him that this button could unpause the movie. + +"OK, dad. I can unpause the movie," Sam said. + +He pressed the button and heard another click. The movie started to move again. It was unpaused. + +"Yay, we did it! We fixed the movie!" Sam said. + +He and his dad hugged and smiled. They went back to the couch and watched the rest of the movie. They enjoyed the movie and each other's company. Sam learned a new word and a new skill. He felt proud and happy.

She had a box of pins in many colors. She made flowers, stars, and animals with them. She was very good at it. + +One day, she wanted to make a pin crown for her doll.

She was very happy with her crown. + +She went to her doll and said, "Look, I made you a crown. You are a princess now. Do you like it?" She put the crown on her doll's head. But the paper band was too big. It slipped off and fell on the floor. + +Lily was sad. She picked up the crown and tried to make it smaller. She bent the paper band and tried to snap it. But it was too hard. She pulled harder and harder. Then, snap! The paper band broke. But so did some of the pins. They flew in the air and landed on Lily's hand. They hurt her. She cried. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken crown and the pins on Lily's hand. She said, "Oh, Lily, what happened?" She took the pins off and hugged Lily. She said, "It's okay, sweetie. You tried to make something nice for your doll. But pins are sharp and can hurt you. You have to be careful with them. Let me get you a band-aid and a kiss." + +Lily said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to make a crown, but it broke. And the pins hurt me." She sniffed. + +Her mom said, "Don't be sorry, Lily. You are very creative and talented. I'm proud of you. And I'm sure your doll is too. She doesn't need a pin crown to be a princess. She just needs your love. And you have plenty of that." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my doll. She is my best friend." She hugged her mom and her doll. She was grateful for them. She forgot about the broken crown and the pins. She was happy again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big bucket and a small shovel.

He said, "Yes, yes, yes! Show me, show me, show me!" + +His mom smiled and gave him a big box. Tom opened it and saw a new superhero costume. It was green and yellow and had a lightning bolt on it. It was the costume of his favorite superhero, Flash. + +Tom was so excited. He said, "Wow, wow, wow! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Can I try it on?" + +His mom said, "Of course, you can. But first, give me a hug and a kiss. You are my superhero." + +Tom hugged and kissed his mom. Then he ran to his room and dressed up in his new costume. He felt very fast and strong. He came back to the living room and said, "Look at me, mom. I am Flash. I can run faster than anyone." + +His mom clapped and cheered. She said, "You look amazing, Tom. Happy birthday, my Flash." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to jog in the park. They see a pond with many fish. The fish are red, blue, and yellow. They are pretty. + +"Look, fish!" Tom says. "I want to catch one." + +"No, Tom," Sam says. "The fish are not ours. They live in the pond. We should not bother them." + +But Tom does not listen. He runs to the pond. He tries to grab a fish with his hand. He falls into the water. Splash! + +Sam is scared. He sees a sign. The sign says: "Dangerous. Do not swim. There are crocodiles in the pond." Sam yells: "Tom, get out! There are crocodiles! They can bite you!" + +Tom hears Sam. He is afraid. He swims to the edge. He climbs out of the pond. He is wet and cold. He is sorry. + +"Thank you, Sam," Tom says. "You saved me. I was silly. I should have listened to you. I will not try to catch fish again. I will respect their home." + +Sam hugs Tom. He is glad. He says: "You are welcome, Tom. I am happy you are safe. You are my friend. Friends help each other. Friends also listen to each other. That is how we learn and grow." +Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They have a big flag with many colors. They take turns to hold the flag and run. They laugh and shout, "Look at me! Look at me!" + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. It barks very loud. Lily and Ben are scared. They think the dog wants to bite them. + +They drop the flag and run away. They run to their mom and dad, who are sitting on a bench. They hug them and tell them about the scary dog. + +Mom and dad say, "Don't worry, the dog is not bad. He just wants to play. He likes your flag. See, he is wagging his tail." + +They look and see the dog. He has the flag in his mouth. He runs to them and drops the flag. He licks their faces and wags his tail. He is not scary. He is friendly. + +Lily and Ben smile. They pet the dog and say, "Hello, dog. Do you want to play with us?" They pick up the flag and run with the dog. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. +Ben and Lily are playing a game. They are pretending to be animals. Ben is a lion and Lily is a mouse. They crawl on the floor and make noises. + +"Roar!" Ben says. "I am a big lion. I will catch you, little mouse!" + +"Squeak!" Lily says. "I am a fast mouse. You cannot catch me, big lion!" + +They crawl around the room, chasing and hiding. They have fun. + +But then, Lily crawls under the sofa. She thinks it is a good hiding place. But it is very dark and dusty. She feels something tickle her nose. She sneezes. + +"Achoo!" Lily says. + +Ben hears her. He crawls under the sofa too. He wants to find her. But it is very tight and low. He feels uncomfortable. He bumps his head. + +"Ow!" Ben says. + +Lily hears him. She crawls out of the sofa. She sees him. She feels sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily says. + +Ben crawls out of the sofa too. He rubs his head. He nods. + +"I am okay, Lily," Ben says. "But I don't like the sofa. It is not a good place to play." + +Lily agrees. + +"Me neither," Lily says. "Let's play somewhere else." + +They crawl to the rug. It is soft and colorful. They smile. + +"Let's play here," Ben says. + +"Okay," Lily says. + +They continue their game. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big cave. It is dark and black inside. + +"Let's go in and see what is there," Tom says. + +"OK, but be careful," Mia says. + +They hold hands and walk into the cave. They see some rocks and some bats. They also see a shiny thing. It is a necklace with a blue stone. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up the necklace and puts it around his neck. + +"It is pretty," Mia says. "Can I see it?" + +"No, it is mine. I found it first," Tom says. He holds the necklace tight. + +Mia feels sad. She wants to share the necklace with Tom. She thinks it is not fair. + +"Please, Tom, let me see it. We can take turns," Mia says. + +"No, go away. It is mine, mine, mine!" Tom says. He shouts and pushes Mia. + +Mia falls down and cries. She runs out of the cave. Tom stays in the cave with the necklace. He feels happy for a moment. Then he feels lonely and scared. He hears a loud roar. It is a bear. The bear lives in the cave. The bear sees Tom and the necklace. The bear wants the necklace too. + +"Help, help!" Tom screams. He drops the necklace and runs out of the cave. He sees Mia waiting for him. He hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was mean to you. Can we share the necklace?" + +"Yes, Tom. I forgive you. We can share the necklace," Mia says. She smiles and puts the necklace around both of their necks. + +They walk back to the park. They are friends again. They learn to share. They are happy. The end. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the library with their moms. The library has many books and toys. Sara and Ben see a big network of trains on a table. They want to play with the trains. + +"Can we play with the trains, please?" Sara asks her mom. + +"Yes, you can, but be polite and share with other kids," her mom says. + +"OK, mom," Sara says. + +Sara and Ben go to the table and look at the trains. They see a red train, a blue train, and a yellow train. They each pick a train and make it go on the tracks. They have fun making sounds and stories with the trains. + +"Choo-choo, I am the red train, I go fast and loud," Ben says. + +"Beep-beep, I am the blue train, I go slow and quiet," Sara says. + +"Hello, I am the yellow train, I go everywhere and meet new friends," a voice says. + +Sara and Ben look up and see a girl holding the yellow train. She has a big smile and curly hair. She is wearing a green dress. + +"Hi, I am Lily, can I play with you?" she asks. + +Sara and Ben are surprised, but they are polite. They smile and nod. + +"Sure, you can play with us, we are Sara and Ben," Sara says. + +"Nice to meet you, Sara and Ben, I like trains too," Lily says. + +They start to play together with the trains. They make them go fast and slow, loud and quiet, and everywhere. They laugh and have fun. They make a new friend. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. Anna is tall and Ben is not. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. They play with the ball and the kite. They have fun. But then, the wind is strong. The kite flies high in the sky. Ben holds the string. He tries to pull the kite down. But the string breaks. The kite flies away. + +"Oh no! We lose the kite!" Ben says. He is sad. + +"Don't cry, Ben. We can find the kite. Maybe it is in a tree or on a roof," Anna says. She is kind. + +They look for the kite. They ask other people. They walk around the park. But they cannot find the kite. It is gone. + +They go back to their mom. She sees their faces. She knows they are unhappy. + +"What happened, my loves?" she asks. + +"We lose the kite, mom. The wind is too strong. The string breaks. The kite flies away," Anna says. + +"I'm sorry, my loves. That is sad. But it is not your fault. Sometimes things happen that we cannot control. You still have each other and the ball. And maybe we can get a new kite someday," mom says. + +She hugs them and rubs their backs. She makes them feel better. + +"Thank you, mom. You are nice. We love you," Anna and Ben say. + +They smile and play with the ball. They are friends. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun. + +But Tom is hungry. He has a sandwich in his bag. He sits on a bench and opens his bag. He takes out his sandwich and a napkin. + +"Mia, do you want some sandwich?" he offers. He breaks his sandwich in half and holds one part out to Mia. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are nice," Mia says. She takes the sandwich and sits next to Tom. She also takes a napkin from his bag. + +They eat their sandwiches. They are tasty. They wipe their mouths with their napkins. They throw their napkins in the trash can. + +They are not hungry anymore. But they are tired. They lie down on the grass and close their eyes. They take a fast nap. They dream of more fun. +Tom and Lily were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big cardboard box for a ship, a stick for a sword and a scarf for a flag. They pretended to sail on the sea and look for treasure. + +But then they saw Max, the big dog from next door. He was barking and running towards them. He wanted to play too, but he was too rough and scary. Tom and Lily were afraid of Max. They tried to hide in their ship, but Max jumped on it and broke it. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Lily shouted. "Go away, Max! You are not a pirate, you are a monster!" + +Max did not listen. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He thought they were having fun. He grabbed their stick and their scarf and ran away with them. + +Tom and Lily were very sad. They had lost their sword and their flag. They had no ship and no treasure. They had nothing to play with. + +Then they saw something shiny on the grass. It was a comb. It had many teeth and a handle. It looked like a new sword. + +"Look, Lily!" Tom said. "We have a new sword! It is amazing! We can use it to fight Max and get our things back!" + +Lily smiled. She took the comb and held it up. She felt brave and strong. + +"Come on, Tom!" she said. "Let's go and find Max! He will surrender to us, the pirates!" +Sam and Lily liked to play in the farm. They liked to see the cows, the pigs, and the sheep. But their favorite animals were the chickens. The chickens were soft and fluffy, and they made funny noises. Sam and Lily liked to feed them corn and watch them peck. + +One day, Sam had a bad idea. He wanted to catch a chicken and keep it as a pet. He told Lily to kneel behind the fence and wait for him. He said he was reliable and he would come back soon. Lily did what he said, because he was her big brother. + +Sam ran to the chicken coop and grabbed a chicken by the wings. The chicken squawked and flapped, but Sam held it tight. He was happy and proud. He wanted to show Lily his new pet. He ran back to the fence, but he did not see Lily. He saw a big dog instead. + +The dog was hungry and mean. It saw Sam and the chicken, and it barked and growled. It jumped over the fence and chased Sam. Sam was scared and dropped the chicken. The chicken ran away, but the dog did not care. It wanted Sam. + +Sam screamed and ran, but the dog was faster. It bit Sam on the leg and made him fall. Sam cried and begged for help, but no one heard him. Lily was still behind the fence, but she did not know what was happening. She waited and waited, but Sam did not come back. She was sad and lonely. She wished she had never listened to Sam. He was not reliable. He was a bad brother. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a bright green pear on a high branch of the pear tree. They want to pick the pear and eat it. + +"Let's get the pear!" Sara says. + +"How?" Ben asks. + +Sara has an idea. She sees a big box near the fence. She drags the box to the tree. She climbs on the box and reaches for the pear. But the box is not high enough. + +"Help me, Ben!" Sara says. + +Ben has an idea. He sees a long stick near the shed. He runs to get the stick. He brings the stick to Sara. He holds the stick up for Sara to grab. + +"Be careful, Sara!" Ben says. + +Sara grabs the stick with one hand. She tries to balance on the box with the other hand. She stretches the stick to the pear. She touches the pear with the stick. She pushes the pear gently. The pear falls from the branch. + +"Yay, we did it!" Sara says. + +She drops the stick and jumps off the box. She catches the pear in her arms. She shares the pear with Ben. They bite the pear and smile. The pear is sweet and juicy. + +"We are a good team!" Ben says. + +"Yes, we are!" Sara says. + +They hug and eat the pear. They are happy. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They are very playful. + +One day, they see a man work on a big tree. He has a saw and a rope. He cuts the branches and puts them on the ground. Lily and Max are curious. They want to see what he does. + +"Hello, mister," Lily says. "What are you doing?" + +"Hello, kids," the man says. "I am working on this tree. It is too big and it can fall on the road. I have to make it smaller and safer." + +"Can we help you?" Max asks. + +The man smiles. "No, thank you. This is a hard and dangerous work. You have to stay away from the saw and the rope. You can watch, but do not come close." + +Lily and Max nod. They sit on the grass and watch the man work. They see him climb the tree and cut the branches. They see him tie the rope around his waist and swing from one side to the other. They think he is brave and strong. + +The man works for a long time. He makes the tree smaller and safer. He puts the branches in a big truck. He cleans the road and the park. He waves to Lily and Max. + +"Goodbye, kids," he says. "Thank you for watching. Have fun and be careful." + +"Goodbye, mister," Lily and Max say. "Thank you for working. You are amazing." + +The man drives away. Lily and Max pick up their ball, their bike and their kite. They are happy and playful. They play in the park until it is time to go home. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play games. They had many toys and cards and puzzles. But they were very competitive. They always wanted to win and be the best. + +One day, they played a card game with their mom. The game was about matching animals and colors. Tim and Sam tried to find the most pairs and score the most points. They did not care about having fun or being fair. They only cared about winning. + +"Look, mom, I have four pairs of lions!" Tim said, showing his cards. + +"That's nice, Tim, but you have to wait for your turn," mom said. + +"No, I don't! I'm the winner!" Tim said, grabbing more cards from the pile. + +"Hey, stop that! You're cheating!" Sam said, angry. + +"No, you're cheating! You're hiding cards under the table!" Tim said, lying. + +"Am not!" Sam said. + +"Are too!" Tim said. + +They started to yell and fight. They threw cards and toys at each other. They made a big mess. Mom was sad and disappointed. She tried to stop them and calm them down. + +"Tim, Sam, enough! You're spoiling the game and the spirit of playing together. You're not being kind or respectful. You're not having fun. You're only making yourselves and me unhappy. Why are you so competitive?" mom said. + +Tim and Sam looked at each other. They felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they were wrong. They did not want to spoil the game and the spirit. They did not want to make mom sad. They wanted to have fun and be kind. + +"Sorry, mom," Tim said. + +"Sorry, mom," Sam said. + +They hugged mom and each other. They apologized and said they loved each other. They picked up the cards and the toys. They decided to play another game. A game where they could cooperate and help each other. A game where they could enjoy and share. A game where they could be happy and friendly. +Lila and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Lila said. + +"Yes, he is!" Tom agreed. + +But then they saw a big dog coming. The dog was ugly and mean. He had black fur and sharp teeth. He barked loudly and ran towards the snowman. + +"Oh no, the dog is going to ruin our snowman!" Lila cried. + +"Go away, dog! Leave our snowman alone!" Tom shouted. + +But the dog did not listen. He jumped on the snowman and bit his nose. He pulled his hat and scarf. He knocked down his head and body. He made a big mess of the snowman. + +Lila and Tom were very sad and angry. They shivered in the cold and watched the dog destroy their snowman. + +"Bad dog, bad dog!" they yelled. + +The dog did not care. He was having fun. He wagged his tail and snorted. + +But then he heard a whistle. It was his owner. He was looking for him in the park. + +"Rex, come here! Rex, come!" he called. + +The dog heard his name and stopped. He looked at his owner and ran to him. + +"Sorry, kids, I didn't see him run away. He likes to chase things. He didn't mean to hurt your snowman." the owner said. + +He put a leash on the dog and walked away. + +Lila and Tom looked at their ruined snowman. They felt very sad. They had worked hard to make him. They wanted to play with him more. + +"Maybe we can make another snowman tomorrow." Lila said. + +"Maybe. But it won't be the same." Tom said. + +They picked up their gloves and hats and went home. They hoped the dog would not come back. They hoped the snow would not melt. They hoped they could make a nice snowman again. +Tim and Sam are two squirrels who live in a big tree. They like to play and find nuts to eat. One day, they see a shiny acorn on the ground. They run to get it, but they are not the only ones who want it. + +A big crow is flying above them. He sees the acorn too. He swoops down and tries to grab it with his beak. Tim and Sam are alert. They dodge the crow and reach the acorn first. They hold it tight with their paws. + +"Mine!" Tim says. + +"No, mine!" Sam says. + +They start to pull the acorn in different directions. The acorn is hard and smooth. It does not break. The crow is angry. He circles around them and caws loudly. + +"Give me the acorn!" he says. + +"No, go away!" Tim and Sam say. + +They do not want to share the acorn. They do not like the crow. They think he is mean and greedy. They decide to discuss how to keep the acorn safe. + +"Let's take it to our nest," Tim says. + +"Good idea," Sam says. + +They agree to work together. They run to their tree with the acorn. The crow follows them. He tries to catch them, but he is too slow. Tim and Sam are fast and clever. They climb up the tree and hide the acorn in their nest. They are happy and proud. They high-five each other with their paws. + +"We did it!" Tim says. + +"Yes, we did!" Sam says. + +They share the acorn and eat it. It is yummy and crunchy. They thank each other for being good friends. They smile and hug. The crow flies away. He is sad and hungry. He looks for another acorn. He hopes to find one soon. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build houses, cars, towers and more. + +One day, they decide to have a contest. Who can build the highest tower with their blocks? They each pick a spot on the floor and start stacking their blocks. They want to win the victory. + +"Look at my tower, it is so tall and strong!" Tim says. He puts a red block on top of his tower. + +"Mine is taller and stronger!" Sam says. He puts a blue block on top of his tower. + +They keep adding more and more blocks to their towers. They are very careful not to make them fall. They want to have the best tower. + +But then, they run out of blocks. They have used all the blocks they have. They look at each other's towers. They are both very high and very similar. + +"Who won?" Tim asks. + +"I don't know, they look the same to me." Sam says. + +They are both sad. They wanted to have a clear victory. They wanted to be the best. + +Then, they hear their mom calling them. "Boys, it's time for lunch! Come and wash your hands, please!" + +They run to the bathroom. They wash their hands with soap and water. They make them very clean. + +They look at each other and smile. They have an idea. + +They run back to their towers. They grab them and push them together. They make one big tower with all their blocks. + +"Look, mom, we made a big tower together!" they say. + +Mom comes and sees their tower. She is very happy and proud. + +"That's wonderful, boys! You worked together and shared your blocks. You both won the victory!" she says. + +She hugs them and takes them to the kitchen. They have a yummy lunch and talk about their tower. + +They are both happy. They learned that sharing and cooperating can be more fun than competing. They are good brothers. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. One day, they saw a big tree with a rope hanging from a branch. They wanted to try it. + +"Can we hang on the rope?" Tom asked Lily. + +"Yes, let's go!" Lily said. They ran to the tree and took turns to hold the rope and swing in the air. They felt like they were flying. + +They had so much fun that they did not see a man coming. The man was wearing a hat and a coat. He had a bag with him. He looked at the rope and smiled. + +"Hello, children," he said. "Do you like the rope? I made it for you. It is a pitch rope. It is very strong and sticky. Do you want to see?" + +Tom and Lily were curious. They nodded. The man opened his bag and took out a jar. He said it was pitch. He said he used it to make the rope. He showed them how he put some pitch on his finger and touched the rope. The pitch stuck to the rope and his finger. + +"See? It is charming, isn't it?" he said. "Do you want to try?" + +Tom and Lily were not sure. They looked at each other. They did not like the pitch. It looked dirty and smelly. They did not want to touch it. + +"No, thank you," Tom said. "We have to go now. Bye." + +They let go of the rope and ran away. They did not want to play with the pitch rope anymore. They did not like the man either. He was not charming. He was strange and scary. They decided to play somewhere else. They were glad they had each other. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a deer in the trees. The deer is brown and has big ears. Anna and Ben want to see the deer better. + +"Look, a deer!" Anna says. "Let's go closer." + +"OK, but be quiet," Ben says. "We don't want to scare it." + +They walk slowly to the deer. The deer looks at them with big eyes. Anna and Ben kneel on the grass. They are very close to the deer now. + +"Hello, deer," Anna says softly. "You are very pretty. Can we be your friends?" + +The deer does not run away. It sniffs Anna's hand. Anna smiles. She has a pink bow in her hair. The deer likes the pink bow. It licks the bow with its tongue. + +"Wow, the deer likes you, Anna," Ben says. "Can I touch it too?" + +"Yes, Ben, you can," Anna says. "But be gentle." + +Ben reaches out his hand. The deer sniffs his hand too. Ben pets the deer's fur. The deer makes a soft sound. It is happy. + +Anna and Ben are happy too. They have made a new friend. They play with the deer for a while. Then they say goodbye and go back to their mom. They tell her about the deer. Mom is proud of them. She gives them a hug and a kiss. They have had a wonderful day. +Tom and Amy were twins. They liked to play with their toys and make funny noises. One day, their aunt came to visit them. She was very fat and had a big red hat. + +"Hello, Tom and Amy!" she said. "Do you want to give me a hug?" + +Tom and Amy did not want to hug her. They thought she was too fat and her hat was too silly. They ran away and hid behind the sofa. + +"Where are you, my sweeties?" their aunt asked. "Don't you want to play with me?" + +Tom and Amy whispered to each other. They had an idea. They decided to act like animals and scare their aunt. + +Tom crawled out from behind the sofa and made a loud roar. He pretended to be a lion. Amy jumped out and made a high squeak. She pretended to be a mouse. + +Their aunt was very surprised. She screamed and dropped her hat. She ran to the door and said, "Help! Help! There are wild animals in the house!" + +Tom and Amy laughed and laughed. They thought it was very funny. They picked up their aunt's hat and put it on their heads. They acted like they were fat and silly too. + +Their aunt came back and saw them. She was not scared anymore. She smiled and said, "Oh, you little rascals! You were just acting, weren't you?" + +Tom and Amy nodded and said, "Yes, auntie. We were just acting. We're sorry we scared you." + +Their aunt hugged them and said, "That's OK. I forgive you. You are very clever and creative. But next time, please be nice to me. I love you very much." + +Tom and Amy said, "We love you too, auntie. You are very kind and fun. Can we play with your hat?" + +Their aunt said, "Of course you can. Let's play together and have a good time." + +They all played and had a good time. They acted like different animals and people. They made funny noises and faces. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Look, Tom, the ducks are hungry. Let's give them some bread," Lily said. + +"OK, Lily, but be careful. The pond is deep and the water is cold," Tom said. + +Lily took a thick slice of bread from her bag and tore it into small pieces. She threw some to the ducks and some to the fish. The ducks quacked and the fish splashed. Lily smiled and threw more bread. + +But then, she slipped on the wet grass and fell into the pond. She screamed and splashed. The water was cold and dirty. She was scared and cold. + +"Help, Tom, help!" Lily cried. + +Tom was shocked. He ran to the pond and saw Lily in the water. He looked for a stick or a rope to help her. He saw a long and thick branch on the ground. He picked it up and ran to the edge of the pond. + +"Lily, grab the branch! I will save you!" Tom shouted. + +He held the branch and reached it to Lily. Lily saw the branch and grabbed it. Tom pulled hard and Lily came out of the water. She was wet and shivering. + +"Thank you, Tom, you saved me!" Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Lily, I'm glad you're OK. Let's go home and get dry and warm," Tom said. + +They hugged and ran to their mom, who was waiting for them. She was worried and happy to see them. She wrapped them in towels and took them home. She gave them hot chocolate and cookies. She praised Tom for saving Lily and hugged them both. They were happy and safe. +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play pretend. They had a big toy car that they could sit in and drive around the yard. They also had a toy phone, a toy map, and a toy license that they made from paper. + +One day, they decided to go on a road trip to the park. Tom was the driver and Anna was the navigator. They put on their hats and sunglasses and got in the car. "Are you ready, Anna?" Tom asked. "Yes, Tom, I have the map and the phone," Anna said. "And don't forget the license," Tom said. "We need it to drive." + +They started the car and drove along the path. They saw many things on the way: flowers, birds, dogs, and people. They waved and honked at everyone. They were having so much fun. + +But then, they came to a big gate that was closed. It had a sign that said "Park Closed". Tom and Anna were sad and confused. Why was the park closed? They wanted to play on the swings and slides and eat yummy snacks. They looked at the sign again and saw a small note that said "Open tomorrow". + +"Maybe we can come back tomorrow," Anna said. "But we have to go home now. It's getting late." Tom agreed. He turned the car around and drove back the way they came. He was a little disappointed, but he also had an idea. + +He whispered to Anna, "Hey, Anna, I have a surprise for you. When we get home, I'll make you a yummy snack. Do you want to know what it is?" Anna nodded eagerly. "What is it, Tom?" she asked. Tom smiled and said, "It's a secret. But you'll love it. It's your favorite." + +Anna wondered what the surprise was. She guessed and guessed, but Tom wouldn't tell her. He just said, "You'll see. You'll see." She was very curious and excited. + +They finally got home and parked the car. They ran inside and Tom went to the kitchen. He came back with a big plate of cookies. They were chocolate chip cookies, Anna's favorite. "Surprise!" Tom said. "I made these for you. They are yummy. Do you like them?" Anna was overjoyed. She hugged Tom and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are the best brother ever. I love them. They are yummy." They shared the cookies and ate them happily. They forgot about the closed park and enjoyed their snack. They were very happy. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with their toys in the garden. One day, Lily brought a new toy. It was a shiny ball that could change colors. Tom thought it was very impressive. + +"Wow, Lily, your ball is so pretty! Can I play with it?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, Tom, you can play with it. But be careful, it is very valuable. My grandma gave it to me for my birthday," Lily said. + +Tom and Lily took turns to throw and catch the ball. They had a lot of fun. But then, Tom threw the ball too high. It went over the fence and into the neighbor's yard. + +"Oh no, Lily, I'm sorry! I lost your ball!" Tom said. + +Lily was very sad. She ran to the fence and tried to see the ball. But it was gone. It disappeared. + +"Tom, how could you? You were not careful with my ball. You don't care about me or my things. You are a bad friend," Lily said. + +Tom felt very bad. He wanted to make Lily happy again. He looked around and saw his own toy. It was a stuffed bear that he loved very much. He had it since he was a baby. + +"Lily, I'm sorry. I know your ball was valuable to you. But you know what? You are more valuable to me. You are my best friend. Here, you can have my bear. I hope you like it," Tom said. + +He gave his bear to Lily. Lily looked at the bear. It was old and worn, but it had a friendly smile. She felt Tom's kindness. She realized that he was sorry and that he wanted to share with her. + +"Tom, thank you. You are very generous. I like your bear. But you know what? You don't have to give it to me. I know your bear is valuable to you. You are my best friend, too. Here, you can have your bear back. I hope you like it," Lily said. + +She gave his bear back to Tom. Tom smiled and hugged his bear. He was happy that Lily forgave him and that they were still friends. + +They hugged each other and decided to look for the ball together. They hoped that the neighbor would be nice and give it back to them. + +The moral of the story is: Friendship is more valuable than things. We should be careful with our friends' things, but we should also be forgiving and generous with our friends. +Ben and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with toy soldiers and pretend they were in a war. They had many weapons, like guns, swords and bombs. They always helped each other and were loyal. + +One day, they found a big bottle of red paint in the garage. They thought it looked like blood. They decided to use it as a weapon and spread it on the walls and floor. They thought it would be fun and scary. + +But they did not know that the paint was very hard to clean. They also did not know that their mom was coming home soon. She had been working all day and was very tired. + +When she saw the mess, she was very angry and sad. She shouted at Ben and Sam and told them they were naughty and careless. She said they had to clean everything and throw away their weapons. She said they could not play together anymore. + +Ben and Sam felt very sorry and scared. They cried and hugged each other. They did not want to lose their friend. But they had no choice. They had to do what their mom said. They had made a big mistake and ruined their fun. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Sam liked to create things with their toys. They had blocks, cars, dolls, and animals. One day, they decided to create a big city with their toys. They used blocks to make buildings, cars to make roads, dolls to make people, and animals to make a zoo. + +"Look, Lily, I made a large pedal bike for the dolls!" Sam said. He showed her a bike he made with two wheels, a stick, and a string. + +"Wow, Sam, that is very good!" Lily said. "Can I try it?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can try it. But be careful, it is not very strong." Sam said. He gave her the bike and helped her put a doll on it. + +Lily pushed the bike with her hand and made it go around the city. She liked how the wheels turned and the string moved. She pretended the doll was having fun. + +"Vroom, vroom, I am riding a bike in the city!" Lily said. + +Suddenly, the bike broke. The wheels fell off, the stick snapped, and the string tangled. The doll fell on the ground. + +"Oh no, the bike is broken!" Lily said. She felt sad and sorry. + +"Oops, I told you it was not very strong." Sam said. He felt bad and sorry too. + +"I am sorry, Sam, I did not mean to break your bike." Lily said. + +"It is okay, Lily, I am not mad at you. It was just a toy. We can create another one." Sam said. + +"Really? You are not mad at me?" Lily said. + +"Really. You are my friend. Friends do not stay mad at each other." Sam said. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are my friend too. Friends help each other." Lily said. + +They hugged and smiled. Then they picked up the broken bike and the doll. They looked for new blocks, wheels, sticks, and strings. They wanted to create a new bike, a better bike, a stronger bike. They had fun creating together. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a laser that could make red lights on the wall. Lily had a doll that could talk and sing. Tom liked to shine his laser on Lily's doll and make it look like it had red eyes. + +"Stop it, Tom!" Lily said. "You are scaring my doll. She does not like red lights." + +Tom did not stop. He was persistent. He thought it was funny to make Lily's doll look scary. He shone his laser on the doll's face and said, "Boo!" + +Lily was angry. She grabbed Tom's laser and threw it on the floor. The laser broke and made a spark. The spark caught the carpet on fire. The carpet started to burn. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Lily screamed. "Fire! Fire!" + +Their mom heard them and ran to the living room. She saw the fire and grabbed a blanket. She threw the blanket on the fire and put it out. She was not happy. + +"Tom and Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "Why did you play with a laser? You could have hurt yourselves or the house. Lasers are not toys. They are dangerous." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They hugged their mom and said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know lasers could make fire. We will not play with lasers again. We love you, mom." + +Their mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, Tom and Lily. But you have to be careful with what you play with. And you have to listen to each other. Now, let's clean up this mess and find a safer way to have fun." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were a king and a queen. They had a big cardboard box that they used as a castle. They had crowns made of paper and jewels made of stickers. + +"King Tom, I have a gift for you," said Queen Lily. She ran inside the house and came back with a cookie. She gave it to Tom with a smile. + +"Thank you, Queen Lily. You are very kind," said King Tom. He took a bite of the cookie and made a happy sound. + +"Can I have a bite too?" asked Queen Lily. + +"Of course, you can. Here you go," said King Tom. He broke the cookie in half and gave one piece to Lily. + +They ate the cookie together and enjoyed the sweet taste. They were very happy. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was their mom calling them. + +"Tom! Lily! It's time to go! We have to visit grandma and grandpa!" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not want to leave their castle. They liked playing king and queen. + +"But mom, we are having fun!" said Tom. + +"Me too!" said Lily. + +"I know, sweeties, but we have to go. Grandma and grandpa miss you very much. They want to see you and hug you and give you more cookies," said mom. + +Tom and Lily thought about grandma and grandpa. They loved them very much. They did not want to make them sad. + +"Okay, mom. We will go," said Tom. + +"But can we take our crowns and jewels with us?" asked Lily. + +"Sure, you can. But hurry up. We don't want to be late. Grandma and grandpa are waiting for us. They are very impatient," said mom. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They put their crowns and jewels in a bag and ran to the car. They said goodbye to their castle and promised to come back soon. + +They were a little sad to leave their game, but they were also excited to see grandma and grandpa. They knew they would have more fun with them. They did not miss their castle too much. They missed grandma and grandpa more. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the toys and make a lot of noise. + +One day, their mom tells them to be quiet. She has a headache and needs to rest. She gives them a tall glass of milk and some cookies. She says, "Share nicely and don't drop anything. I will be back soon." + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Okay, mom." They take the milk and cookies to their room. They start to eat and play. But soon they want the same toy. It is a red car that makes a loud sound. + +"Give me the car!" Anna says. She pulls the car from Ben's hand. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. He pulls the car back from Anna's hand. + +They tug and tug until the car flies out of their hands. It hits the tall glass of milk and knocks it over. The milk spills on the floor and the cookies. The car breaks and stops making sound. + +Anna and Ben gasp. They look at the mess. They feel bad. They know they did something wrong. + +They hear their mom coming. They are scared. They say, "Sorry, mom. We were not quiet. We dropped the milk and the car. We were not nice to each other." + +Their mom sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "You need to learn to share and be careful. You wasted the milk and the cookies. You broke the car. You made a lot of noise. You gave me more headache." + +She makes them clean up the mess. She takes away the car and the other toys. She says, "You can't play with the toys until you say sorry to each other and promise to be quiet and nice." + +Anna and Ben feel sad. They say sorry to each other and hug. They promise to be quiet and nice. They hope their mom will forgive them and let them play with the toys again. + +The moral of the story is: Share and be careful with your things. Don't make noise when someone needs to rest. Say sorry when you do something wrong. +Tommy loved to sing. He had a microphone that his mom gave him for his birthday. He liked to pretend he was a star on the stage. He sang loud and happy songs every day. + +One day, his sister Lily wanted to play with his microphone. She asked him nicely, but Tommy said no. He said it was his and he did not want to share. Lily was sad and angry. She tried to grab the microphone from Tommy, but he held it tight. They started to fight and pull and push. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tommy and Lily fighting over the microphone. She was not happy. She told them to stop and to share. She said they both could sing, but they had to take turns. She said they had to be patient and kind to each other. + +Tommy did not like that. He wanted to sing by himself. He did not want to share his microphone. He threw a tantrum. He cried and screamed and kicked. He said he hated Lily and he hated mom. He said he only wanted his microphone. + +Mom was very sad and disappointed. She took the microphone away from Tommy. She said he could not play with it until he calmed down and said sorry. She gave the microphone to Lily and told her to sing a nice song. She hugged Lily and told her she loved her. + +Lily smiled and thanked mom. She took the microphone and sang a sweet song. She sang about love and peace and family. She sang with a soft and gentle voice. She hoped Tommy would listen and feel better. She loved Tommy and she wanted to share with him. She was patient and kind. +Tom liked to grab things. He grabbed toys, books, food, and sometimes even people. He did not like to share or say sorry. He wanted everything for himself. + +One day, Tom went to the zoo with his mom and dad. He saw many animals there. He saw lions, monkeys, elephants, and more. He wanted to grab them all. He ran away from his mom and dad and climbed over the fence. + +He saw a big bear sleeping in a cave. He thought the bear was a soft toy. He grabbed the bear by the ear and tried to pull it out. The bear woke up and was very angry. It roared and bit Tom on the arm. Tom screamed and dropped the bear. + +His mom and dad heard him and ran to help him. They saw the blood on his arm and the bear in the cave. They were very scared and sad. They called for help and took Tom to the hospital. + +Tom learned a hard lesson. He learned that grabbing is bad and sharing is good. He learned that animals are not toys and they can hurt him. He learned that he should be generous and kind, not greedy and mean. He wished he had listened to his mom and dad. He wished he had not grabbed the bear. +Tom and Mia love ice-cream. They like to eat it when it is hot outside. They like chocolate and vanilla and strawberry. Sometimes they get sprinkles on top. + +One day, they go to the park with Mom and Dad. They play on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They have fun with their friends. They run and jump and laugh. + +Mom and Dad see a truck with a picture of ice-cream on it. They hear a song that says "ice-cream, ice-cream, come and get your ice-cream". They have an idea. They call Tom and Mia and say "do you want some ice-cream?" + +Tom and Mia are very happy. They say "yes, yes, yes". They run to the truck with Mom and Dad. They see many kinds of ice-cream. They choose their favorite ones. The truck man gives them ice-cream in cones. He is nice. He provides ice-cream for Tom and Mia. + +Tom and Mia lick their ice-cream. It is cold and sweet and yummy. They smile and say "thank you". They share their ice-cream with Mom and Dad. They are happy. They love ice-cream. They love Mom and Dad. They have a good day. +Tom likes to watch cartoons on TV. He likes the funny animals and the silly sounds they make. His favorite cartoon is about a fat cat and a small mouse. The cat always tries to catch the mouse, but the mouse is very smart and tricks the cat. + +One day, Tom sees a spray bottle on the table. He picks it up and wonders what it does. He pushes the button and sees water come out. He thinks it is fun to spray the water in the air. He pretends he is the mouse and the spray bottle is his weapon. + +He runs around the room and sprays the water at the sofa, the lamp, the books and the TV. He laughs and makes noises like the mouse. He does not see his mom coming in. She is very angry and wet. She takes the spray bottle from Tom and scolds him. She tells him to stop making a mess and to say sorry. + +Tom feels bad. He did not mean to make his mom angry and wet. He says sorry and hugs her. He helps her clean the water from the things. He promises to not spray the water again.

He watches the fat cat and the small mouse and hopes they will be friends one day. +Lily and Sam went to the museum with their mom. They saw many things, like big bones, shiny rocks, and old paintings. Lily liked the bones best. She wanted to touch them and see how they felt. Sam liked the rocks best. He wanted to see if they sparkled in the light. + +"Please don't touch anything," their mom said. "The museum is not a playground. These things are very old and fragile." + +But Lily and Sam were stubborn. They did not listen to their mom. They ran around the museum and touched everything they could. They did not see the signs that said "Do not touch" or "Keep off". + +Lily found a big bone that looked like a horn. She grabbed it and tried to pull it off the wall. She wanted to pretend she was a dinosaur. But the bone was stuck and heavy. Lily pulled harder and harder, until the bone came loose. It fell to the floor with a loud crash. Lily was scared. She dropped the bone and ran away. + +Sam found a glass case that had many rocks inside. He saw a red rock that looked like a ruby. He wanted to have it for his collection.

It made a loud noise and the alarm went off. Sam was scared. He let go of the glass case and ran away. + +Lily and Sam ran back to their mom. They were crying and sorry. They told their mom what they did. Their mom was angry and sad. She took them by the hand and walked to the exit. She said they had to leave the museum and say sorry to the people who worked there.

They laugh and have fun. + +"Look, Sam, there is an ice-cream truck!" Tim points. + +"Wow, ice-cream! Can we have some, mom?" Sam asks. + +"Sure, boys, you can have one each. But you have to eat it fast, or it will melt," Sam's mom says. + +They go to the ice-cream truck and choose their flavors. Tim picks chocolate and Sam picks vanilla. They lick their ice-creams and smile. + +"Yummy, this is the best ice-cream ever!" Tim says. + +"I agree, this is mighty good!" Sam says. + +They finish their ice-creams and throw away the wrappers. They thank the ice-cream man and go back to the park. They play some more until it is time to go home. + +"Did you have a good time, Tim?" Sam asks. + +"Yes, I did, Sam. Thank you for being my friend," Tim says. + +"Thank you, too, Tim. You are a mighty friend," Sam says. + +They hug and say goodbye. They pack their bags and go home with their moms. They are happy and tired. They dream of ice-cream and slides. +Lily was a cat who had a long and fluffy tail. She liked to play with her tail and chase it around the house. She was very proud of her tail and thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world. + +One day, she met a new cat who lived next door. His name was Bob and he was bald. He had no fur on his head or his body. He only had a little bit of fur on his paws and his ears. Lily thought he looked very funny and strange. + +"Hello, I'm Lily. What's your name?" she said to Bob. + +"Hi, I'm Bob. I'm new here. Do you want to be friends?" he said to Lily. + +"Sure, I guess. But why are you bald? Where is your fur?" she said to Bob. + +Bob looked sad and said, "I don't have any fur because I'm sick. I have a bad itch and I scratch a lot. The vet said I have to take medicine and wear a cone. But I don't like the cone. It makes me feel silly and uncomfortable." + +Lily felt sorry for Bob and said, "I'm sorry you're sick. That must be hard. But you don't have to feel silly or uncomfortable. You're still a cat and you're still nice. And you have a tail, right?" + +Bob nodded and said, "Yes, I have a tail. But it's not very long or fluffy. It's just a little stub." + +Lily smiled and said, "That's okay. Your tail is still your tail. And it's still special. Do you want to play with me and my tail?" + +Bob smiled back and said, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Lily. You're very kind and friendly. And your tail is very beautiful." + +Lily and Bob became friends and played together. They chased each other's tails and had fun.

Ben is three years old and very playful. + +They put the cake in the oven and wait. Ben wants to play with Tom and Jen. He runs around the kitchen and laughs. He sees a red button on the oven.

He says he is sorry. + +Tom and Jen are not angry. They love Ben. They know he is playful. They say it is okay. They throw away the cake. They make a new one. They have fun. They eat the cake. It is yummy. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Anna found a big pot with a lid and said, "Look, Ben, this is our soup pot. We can put anything we want in it and cook it." + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, let's make soup. What should we put in it?" He looked around and saw some carrots, potatoes, and onions on the counter. He picked them up and put them in the pot. "There, now we have soup." + +Anna smiled and said, "Good job, Ben. But we need to add some water and salt and pepper. And we need to turn on the stove to make it hot." She filled a cup with water and poured it in the pot. Then she sprinkled some salt and pepper from the shakers. She reached for the knob on the stove, but Ben stopped her. + +"No, Anna, don't touch that. It's dangerous. Mommy said we can't touch the stove. It can burn us." He pulled her hand away and said, "We can pretend it's hot. Let's put the lid on the pot and lock it. Then the soup will cook by itself." + +Anna agreed and said, "Okay, Ben, let's lock the pot. But how do we do that?" She looked at the lid and saw a handle on top. She pushed it down and heard a click. "There, I locked it. Now the soup is cooking." + +They clapped their hands and said, "Yay, we made soup. Let's wait for a while and then we can eat it." They sat on the floor and played with some toys. + +But after a few minutes, they heard a loud noise from the pot. It was bubbling and hissing and shaking. The lid was moving up and down and steam was coming out. Anna and Ben were frightened. They didn't know what was happening. They thought the pot was going to explode. + +They ran to the door and shouted, "Mommy, Mommy, help us. The pot is angry. It's making noise and steam. We locked it and now we can't open it. Please come and save us." + +Mommy heard their cries and came to the kitchen. She saw the pot and realized what had happened. She turned off the stove and used a cloth to grab the handle of the lid. She twisted it and opened the pot. The steam escaped and the bubbling stopped. She looked inside and saw the soup. It was overcooked and mushy. + +She sighed and said, "Oh, Anna and Ben, what have you done? You locked the pot and turned on the stove. You could have started a fire or burned yourselves. You should never play with the stove or the pots. They are not toys. They are for cooking. And you should never lock the pot. It can build up pressure and explode. You were very lucky nothing bad happened." + +Anna and Ben felt sorry and scared. They said, "We're sorry, Mommy. We didn't know. We wanted to make soup. We were pretending to be chefs. We won't do it again. Please don't be mad at us." + +Mommy hugged them and said, "I'm not mad at you. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The kitchen can be dangerous. You can only play with the pots and pans when I'm with you. And you can only cook with me when I say so. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy, we understand. We love you. Thank you for saving us." + +Mommy smiled and said, "I love you too. Now let's clean up this mess and make some real soup. How about that?" + +Anna and Ben cheered and said, "Yes, Mommy, let's make some real soup. We want to help you. We want to be good chefs." + +Mommy laughed and said, "Okay, let's do that. But first, let's unlock the pot and throw away this soup. It's not good to eat. It's too salty and too soft." + +They unlocked the pot and dumped the soup in the trash. Then they washed the pot and the vegetables. They cut them and put them in a new pot with water and spices. They turned on the stove and watched the soup simmer. They didn't lock the pot this time. They learned their lesson. They were happy and hungry. They couldn't wait to eat their soup. They hoped it would be delicious. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park.

Tom looks at the light. He does not think it is a fish. He thinks it is something else. He says to Jen, "No, Jen, that is not a fish. That is a car. A car with a light. It is on the road. Do not go there. It is dangerous." + +But Jen does not listen to Tom. She wants the light. She runs to the other side of the pond. She does not see the road. She does not see the car.

Tom wishes Jen had been his friend. +Lily wanted to dress up like a princess for her birthday. She put on a pink dress, a shiny crown and a necklace. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She felt very pretty. + +She went downstairs to find her mom and dad. They were in the kitchen, making a cake. They had a big mug with hot water and a spoon.

"We need to melt some chocolate in the hot water. Do you want to see?" + +Lily nodded again. She was curious. She leaned over the mug and looked inside. She saw brown pieces of chocolate. They were getting smaller and softer. + +"Can I stir?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful," Dad said. "The mug is very hot. Don't touch it with your hands. Use the spoon." + +Lily took the spoon and stirred the chocolate. It looked yummy. She wanted to taste it. She lifted the spoon to her mouth. + +"Wait, Lily, don't!" Mom said. "The chocolate is very hot. It will burn your tongue. Let it cool down first." + +Lily stopped. She felt anxious. She didn't want to burn her tongue. She put the spoon back in the mug. She looked at Mom and Dad. They looked worried. + +"I'm sorry," Lily said. "I didn't know." + +"It's okay, Lily," Mom said. "We're not angry. We're just glad you're safe. You can have some frosting later, when it's ready. Okay?" + +"Okay," Lily said. She smiled. She felt better. She was still a princess. And she was going to have a delicious cake. She hugged Mom and Dad. They hugged her back. + +"Happy birthday, Lily," they said. "We love you." + +"I love you too," Lily said. "Thank you for the cake. And the frosting. And the dress. And the crown. And the necklace. And everything." +Tom and Anna are brother and sister. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and games. But their room is very messy.

Mom says. + +Tom and Anna do not want to sell their things. They love their things. They have an idea. They take a large curtain from the closet. They use the curtain to cover their things. They make a big pile of things under the curtain. They think mom will not see their things. + +"Look, mom, we made space in our room. We sold some of our things." Tom and Anna say. + +Mom comes to their room. She sees the large curtain. She is not fooled. She lifts the curtain and sees the pile of things. + +"Tom and Anna, this is not selling. This is hiding. You did not make space. You made a mess. You need to sell some of your things for real. Or I will sell them for you." Mom says. + +Tom and Anna are sad. They do not want to sell their things. But they do not want mom to sell them either. They decide to sell some of their things. They pick the things they do not play with much. They put them in a box. They go outside.

She danced in her room, in the park, and in the pool. She was an adventurous dancer. She liked to try new moves and have fun. + +One day, she went to the pool with her mom and dad. She saw a big board at the edge of the pool. She wanted to dive from the board. She asked her mom, "Can I dive, mom? Please?" + +Her mom said, "No, Mia. The board is too high for you. You might get hurt. You can dive from the side of the pool." + +But Mia was not happy. She wanted to dive from the board. She waited until her mom and dad were not looking.

She felt someone grab her and pull her up. It was her dad. He hugged her and brought her to the side of the pool. He was angry and worried. He said, "Mia, what did you do? You could have drowned! You should never dive from the board. It is very dangerous. You have to listen to us." + +Mia felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to dive. I wanted to be an adventurous dancer. But I was wrong. It was not fun. It was scary. I will never do it again." + +Her dad said, "I'm glad you are okay, Mia. I love you. You are a good dancer. But you have to be careful and safe. You can be adventurous in other ways. You can dance in the water, but not from the board." + +Mia nodded and hugged her dad. She said, "I love you too, dad. Thank you for saving me. You are my hero." + +Her mom came and hugged them both. She said, "We are proud of you, Mia. You are a brave and talented dancer. But you have to be smart and listen to us. We are here to help you and protect you." + +Mia said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry for making you worry. I will listen to you. I will dance in the water, but not from the board." + +They smiled and kissed her. They went back to the pool and played together. Mia danced in the water with her mom and dad. She was happy. She was an adventurous dancer, but also a wise one. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play dress-up. She had many clothes and hats and shoes to wear. She also had a shiny scale that she found in the park. She thought it was from a dragon or a mermaid. She liked to wear it as a necklace or a bracelet. + +One day, she wanted to show her scale to her friend Ben. She put it on her wrist and went to his house. But when she got there, she saw that Ben had a new toy. It was a big truck with lights and sounds. Ben was very happy with his toy. He did not look at Lily's scale. + +"Look, Ben, look at my scale!" Lily said. "It is very pretty and delicate. Do you want to see it?" + +Ben did not care about Lily's scale. He only wanted to play with his truck. He said, "No, I don't want to see your scale. It is boring and small. My truck is better. It is big and loud. Go away, Lily. You can't play with my truck." + +Lily felt very sad and angry. She did not like Ben's words. She thought he was mean and rude. She said, "No, you go away, Ben. You are not my friend. You don't like my scale. You don't like me. I don't want to play with you." + +She turned around and ran away. But as she ran, she tripped and fell. Her scale flew off her wrist and landed on the ground. It broke into pieces. Lily cried. She lost her scale. She lost her friend. She did not know what to do. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, and books. They like to make noise and pretend they are in different places. + +"Look, I am a doctor and you are my patient," Anna says, holding a toy stethoscope. "You are very sick and need medicine." + +"No, I am a firefighter and you are a cat stuck in a tree," Ben says, wearing a toy helmet. "I will save you with my ladder." + +They argue and laugh, but they do not see that their toys are making a mess. They are careless and do not put their toys away. + +Mom comes in and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Anna and Ben, what have you done? You have to clean up your toys. They are everywhere. You cannot be so careless." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We will clean up our toys." + +Mom says, "Thank you, but you have to be quick. We have guests coming soon. They will eat with us at the table. We have to cover the table with a nice cloth and put plates and forks and spoons on it." + +Anna and Ben help Mom cover the table. They are careful and do not spill or break anything. They are proud of their work. They say, "Look, Mom, we covered the table. It looks pretty." + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, it does. You did a good job. I am proud of you. Now, let's go and greet our guests. They are here." +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy train. The train has a big engine and many cars. The engine needs coal to go fast. The coal is black and hard. + +One day, Ben and Sam find a big pile of coal in the yard. They are very happy. They want to fill the engine with coal and make the train go faster. But they have a problem. The coal is too heavy for them to carry. They need a bucket to move the coal. + +Ben and Sam look for a bucket. They see a brown bucket near the fence. The bucket is old and dirty. But they do not care. They run to the bucket and grab it. But they both want to hold the bucket. They start to fight. + +"Give me the bucket!" Ben says. "No, it is mine!" Sam says. They pull and push the bucket. The bucket is not strong. It breaks in half. The coal falls out of the bucket and makes a mess. + +Ben and Sam are sad and angry. They have no bucket and no coal. They cannot play with their train. They sit on the ground and cry. + +Mom hears them cry. She comes to the yard and sees the broken bucket and the coal. She is not happy. She tells Ben and Sam to stop crying and to clean up the mess. She says they have to share and be nice to each other. She says they have to say sorry and hug. + +Ben and Sam feel bad. They say sorry and hug. They help Mom clean up the coal. Mom finds another bucket for them. It is blue and new.

They pass the bucket to each other and fill the engine with coal. They make the train go fast and have fun. They are good brothers. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to ride their bikes. They had a big yard with a dirt path where they could race and have fun. One day, they saw a new patch of grass near the fence. It looked soft and green, and they wanted to ride on it. + +"Let's go there!" Tom said. "It looks like a good place to ride." + +"But Dad said we should not ride on the grass," Sam said. "He said it will make it brown and ugly." + +"Who cares?" Tom said. "It's just grass. Come on, don't be a baby." + +Tom rode his bike on the grass, and Sam followed him. They made circles and lines on the grass, and laughed. They did not see Dad coming home from work. + +Dad saw the grass and was angry. He called Tom and Sam and asked them why they rode on the grass. Tom and Sam looked down and did not answer. + +"Dad, we're sorry," Sam said. "We just wanted to have fun." + +"Fun is good, but not when you hurt something else," Dad said. "The grass is alive, and it needs water and sun to grow. When you ride on it, you break it and make it sad. How would you feel if someone rode on your toys and broke them?" + +Tom and Sam felt bad. They realized they were wrong. They said they were sorry again, and asked Dad what they could do. + +Dad said they could help him water the grass and put some seeds on the patch. He said it would take some time, but the grass would grow back. He also said they could ride on the dirt path, or on the street, but not on the grass. + +Tom and Sam agreed. They helped Dad with the grass, and then rode their bikes on the path. They learned to respect the grass and other living things. They also learned to listen to Dad and follow the rules. They were still hungry, but they knew they would have a good dinner soon. They were happy and proud of themselves. +One day, Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big black dog near the fence. The dog was barking and growling. Tom and Lily were scared. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "Who will save us from the black dog?" + +A man heard them and ran to the park. He was wearing a blue shirt and a red cape. He was a hero. He picked up a stick and waved it at the dog. The dog stopped barking and ran away. + +"Thank you, hero!" Tom and Lily said. "You are very brave and strong." + +The hero smiled and hugged them. "You are welcome, kids. I am glad you are safe. Do you want to squeeze my cape? It is very soft and shiny." + +Tom and Lily nodded and squeezed his cape. They liked how it felt. They thanked the hero again and went back to play. They were happy and not scared anymore. The hero was their friend. +Sara loves books. She likes to look at the pictures and hear the stories. She has many books on her bookshelf in her room.

He says he has an idea. He says he will buy the book for her, but she has to promise him something. Sara asks what. He says she has to promise to read one of her old books every day, and then give it to someone who needs it. He says this way, she can make room on her bookshelf for the new book, and also make someone else happy. Sara thinks this is a great idea. She promises her dad to do it. + +Sara's dad buys the book for her. She is very happy. She hugs him and thanks him. She can't wait to read the book. But first, she goes to her room and picks an old book from her bookshelf. She decides to give it to her friend Lily, who loves animals. She thinks Lily will like the book. She puts the book in her backpack and runs to the door. She says bye to her dad and mom and goes to school. She is excited to share the book with Lily, and to read the new book later. She thinks books are great. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but they wanted more. One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It had a sign that said "Do not open until Christmas". Tim and Kim were curious. They wanted to see what was inside the box. + +They waited until their mom and dad were busy. Then they sneaked to the box and opened it. They saw a lot of shiny things wrapped in paper. They tore the paper and found more toys. They were very happy. They saw a robot, a doll, a car, a book, and a teddy bear. They grabbed the toys and ran to their room. + +They played with the toys for a while. But soon they got bored. The robot did not move. The doll did not talk. The car did not run. The book did not have pictures. The teddy bear did not hug. They looked at the toys and felt sad. They did not like the toys. They wondered why their mom and dad gave them such bad toys. + +They decided to go back to the box and see if there were more toys. They opened the box again and saw a small thing at the bottom. It was a puppy. It had brown fur and black eyes. It had a red bow around its neck. It had a wire on its paw. It looked at them and wagged its tail. It was adorable. + +Tim and Kim felt sorry for the puppy. They realized that the wire was a tag. It had a name and a message. The name was Spot. The message said "To Tim and Kim, with love from Mom and Dad. This is your real Christmas gift. He is a good puppy who needs a good home. He will be your best friend.

They ran and jumped and roared and neighed. + +But then Ben tripped on a rock and hurt his leg. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, my leg!" Lily stopped pretending and ran to him. She saw blood on his knee and felt sorry for him. + +She said, "Ben, are you okay? Do you need a band-aid?" Ben nodded and sniffed. Lily helped him get up and walked with him to the bench. She took out a band-aid from her backpack and put it on his knee. She said, "There, there, it will be better soon." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You are not like the ignorant boy who laughed at me when I fell. He was mean and rude. He did not care about me." + +Lily said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. You are not like the ignorant girl who pushed me off the slide. She was selfish and nasty. She did not share with me." + +They hugged and said, "We are glad we have each other. We are not ignorant.

They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Can we climb the tree, Anna?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, we can, Ben. But we have to be careful. The tree is very high and the branches are very thin. We have to hold on tight and not fall down." Anna said. + +They climbed the tree slowly and carefully. They reached the top and saw the blue sky and the white clouds. They also saw a bright light in the sky. It was the sun. + +"Wow, look at the light, Anna. It is so shiny and warm. Do you think it is a big ball of fire?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben. It is not a ball of fire. It is the sun. The sun is a star. It gives us light and heat. It is very far away from us. But we can see it every day." Anna said. + +"How do you know that, Anna? Did you see it up close?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben. I did not see it up close. But I believe it. I read it in a book. The book had many pictures and words about the sun and the stars and the planets. It was very interesting." Anna said. + +"I want to read that book too, Anna. Can you show me the book later?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben. I can show you the book later. But now we have to go down. It is almost time for lunch. And we have to wash our hands and faces. We are very dirty from climbing the tree." Anna said. + +They climbed down the tree and ran to their parents.

He does not know what end means. He says, "End? What is end?" Mom explains, "End means the last part of something. When you make a poem, you have to say when it is over. You can say 'the end' or 'that's all' or something like that. Otherwise, I don't know if you are done or not." + +Sam understands now. He says, "Oh, I see. I forgot to say the end.

They wished they had not played with the frame. + +Then they heard a voice behind them. It was their grandma, who had come to visit. She saw the frame and the toys and smiled. + +"Hello, my dears. I see you have found my old picture frame. It was a gift from a fairy long ago. It can shrink anything you put in it, but only for a while. If you say 'please' and 'thank you', it will make them big again," she said. + +Lily and Tom were surprised and happy. They quickly said 'please' and 'thank you' to the frame. The frame made another sound and light, and their toys grew back to their normal size. They hugged their toys and their grandma. + +"Thank you, grandma. We are sorry we played with your frame without asking. We learned our lesson. We should not touch things that are not ours," they said. + +"That's all right, my dears. I'm glad you are safe and sorry. It is good to be curious, but it is also good to be respectful and careful. Now, why don't we go downstairs and have some cookies?" she said. + +They nodded and followed their grandma. They left the frame in the attic, but they never forgot their adventure.

Ben did the same with his blue one. + +They tried to spin on the green scooter, but it was hard. They felt dizzy and fell down. They laughed and got up. + +"This is fun, but also tricky!" Ben said. + +"I like your scooters too. They are smooth and fast!" Sam said. + +They played together for a long time. They learned how to spin on the green scooter and how to race on the blue and pink ones. They had a lot of fun. + +They became friends with Sam.

Get down from there! That's my flag and you're ruining it! It's not a toy, it's a symbol of our country! How dare you disrespect it!" + +Tom and Lily were scared and surprised. They dropped the flag and tried to get down from the ladder, but it was too late. The ladder broke and they fell to the ground. They hurt their knees and elbows and started to cry. The man came over and picked up his flag. He looked at it and saw that it was torn and dirty. He was very sad and mad. + +He said, "Look what you've done! You've destroyed my flag! It was a gift from my grandfather, who fought in the war. He loved this flag and so do I. You should be ashamed of yourselves! You don't know how to celebrate, you only know how to make trouble!" + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They did not mean to hurt the flag or the man. They only wanted to have fun and celebrate.

Please forgive us." + +The man looked at them and saw that they were sincere and remorseful. He sighed and said, "I forgive you, kids.

Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We understand, mister. We're sorry. We'll never do it again. We'll treat the flag with care and honor. We promise." + +The man smiled and said, "That's good, kids. That's how you celebrate. Now, come on. Let me help you clean your wounds and give you some cookies. Maybe I can tell you some stories about my grandfather and the flag. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Lily smiled and said, "That sounds great, mister. Thank you. You're very kind." + +They followed the man into his house and learned to celebrate the flag in a different way. +Lily liked to write in her journal every day. She wrote about what she saw, what she felt, and what she dreamed. She used crayons and stickers to make her journal colorful and fun.

He saw her journal under her bed and took it out. He opened it and laughed at what he saw. He said, "What is this? This is not a journal, this is a mess. You can't write, you can only scribble. You are ignorant, Lily. You don't know anything." + +Lily heard him and ran into her room. She was angry and sad. She snatched her journal from his hands and shouted, "Give me back my journal! It is mine, not yours. You are ignorant, Tom. You don't understand me. You are mean and rude." + +Tom was surprised and scared. He did not expect Lily to be so loud and brave. He said, "Sorry, sorry, Lily. I was just joking. Don't be mad at me. Here, take your journal. I won't touch it again." + +Lily took her journal and hugged it. She said, "Thank you, Tom. But don't ever do that again. This is my journal, and it is important to me. It is where I order my thoughts and feelings. It is where I express myself. You have your own things, and I have mine. We should respect each other." + +Tom nodded and said, "You are right, Lily. I'm sorry I was ignorant. I won't laugh at your journal again. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, we can still be friends. But you have to promise me one thing." + +"What is it?" Tom asked. + +Lily said, "You have to write in your own journal. Maybe then you will understand me better." + +Tom agreed and said, "OK, I will try. Maybe we can share our journals someday." + +Lily and Tom hugged and made up. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that writing in a journal can help them order their thoughts and feelings, and that being ignorant can hurt others. They also learned that being friends means being kind and respectful. +Lily and Sam were at the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw.

She saw lots of fun things to do, but she liked to run around the trees the best. + +Suddenly, she saw something. It was an image of a bow in the grass. It was so pretty that she stopped to look at it. She wanted to pick it up, but it was very messy. She couldn't get it clean. + +Thankfully, a old man came walking by and saw her. He kneeled down and used his handkerchief to pick up the bow. He put it in her hand and said, “You can keep it!†+ +The little girl was so happy!

He quickly grabbed his hat and shirt, put them on and ran outside. He crawled around the house, looking for his favorite vehicle. Suddenly he found it - it was an old bike! He crawled around it, smiling. + +But suddenly, he felt something hurt. He looked down and saw that a sharp rock had poked him in the foot. Ouch! Bob's mom came over and said, "Don't worry, Bob! Let's go inside and take a look at it." + +Bob followed his mom back inside. He felt better after his mom put a cool bandage on his foot.

He was at the store with mom, and he was going to buy the world. "Mom, can I buy the world please?" he asked. + +Mom smiled and said, "John, we can't buy the world." + +John felt sad. He asked, "Why can't I buy the world?" + +Mom said, "The world is too big and too bad. We can't buy it, but you can make it better. You can make it better by being kind to people and doing good things to help the world." + +John thought about what Mom said. He smiled and said, "I can do that!" + +John and Mom left the store. He still couldn't buy the world, but he knew he could make it better. +Bob was out for a walk. He was looking for something fun to do. He saw a sunset and he thought it was unusual.

Then he saw something unusual in the sky. It was a rainbow! + +He was so excited. He had never seen a rainbow before. He wanted to get closer, so he searched all around until he found a spot right in front of it.

You can trust people, and you can also trust things like food or a toy." + +Sammy felt confused and wanted to explore more. +He saw something behind the couch and wanted to go over and see what it was. +Mummy told him, "No Sammy! That is a special thing that we are not allowed to touch. We do not know what it is, so we cannot trust it. + +Sammy was very curious but he had to trust his mummy. He was sad he could not explore, but he had to obey. Sammy sighed and said, "Ok, I trust you mummy." +Mummy smiled and said, "That's a good boy! I'm so proud of you for trusting me." +Sammy smiled back and knew he had done the right thing. +Once upon a time there was a clever little girl called Jane. One day, Jane was walking through the forest when she heard a loud noise. She stopped and peered through the trees. She saw a soldier poking his sword into the ground. Jane was curious - why was the soldier poking the ground? She wanted to find out. + +Jane followed the soldier and watched from behind a tree as he continued poking the ground. Jane realised that the soldier was looking for something. But what? Suddenly, the soldier let out a loud cheer and held something in his hand. It was a big gold coin! The soldier had found the gold coin by poking the ground. + +Jane thought this was so clever. She ran home and told her mother what happened. The next day, Jane took a stick and went back to the forest. She started poking the ground and sure enough, she found a little silver coin. Jane was so happy! She pocketed the coin and ran home as fast as she could. + +From then on, Jane spent every day in the forest poking the ground. Who knows what she might find next? +Once upon a time, there was a pretty, open drum. It was the special drum of a little boy named Joe. Every day, Joe loved to play his drum and make lots of noise! + +One day, Joe took his drum outside and kept playing and playing. Suddenly, it started to get very cold and the wind started to blow.

So he hopped on a big red rock and zoomed across the hot, dry desert. It was so much fun, and the beetle felt so happy! + +But then, all of a sudden, the beetle looked up and saw something in front of him: a big, empty cave! He was so scared that he didn't know what to do. He had never seen a cave before. So he zipped inside to take a closer look. + +Inside the cave was dark and quiet, and the beetle felt very lonely. He zoomed through the cave, exploring every inch of it, until finally he came to a dead end. He was stuck! There was no other way out. + +The little beetle was never seen again. No one ever found out what had happened to him in that dark, empty cave. +John and his mom were at the doctor's office. While in the waiting room, John saw a nurse wearing a bright blue shirt.

She asked him some questions and checked his ears. She was very alert and looked closely at everything. Finally, she gave him a lollipop! + +John said goodbye to the nurse and thanked her for being so nice. He hopped off the chair and ran to the door. On the way, he saw the nurse watching him with a big smile on her face. + +John thanked the nurse again and ran out the door.

She shouted "No Ben, don't shoot it!" + +Ben's mom explained that shooting things is not good. She told Ben that he could get hurt if he shot the pipe. She also said that it was not nice to shoot things. Ben understood what she meant. + +Ben decided that it was better not to shoot the pipe. Instead he put it back near the river. Ben ran to his mom and hugged her. Ben learned his lesson and realized that it was better to be kind to things than to shoot them. Ben never forgot the lesson from his mom that day. +One morning, Bob the bear was walking in the woods. He was so tired from walking, he stretched his arms and yawned a big yawn.

You will be in trouble!" + +She grabs Lily and Ben by the arms. She drags them to the office. She tells the principal what they did. The principal is mad too. He calls their parents. He says they have to go home. He says they cannot come back to school for a week. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They are sorry. They cry. They did not fix the school. They made it worse. They lost their fun. They lost their teacher. They lost their friends. They have a bad day. They have a bad ending. +Sara and Tom like to go to the market with Mom. They see many things at the market. They see fruits, flowers, toys, and clothes. Sara and Tom like to look at everything. + +One day, Sara sees a pretty dress at the market. It is pink and has flowers on it. Sara wants the dress very much. She asks Mom if she can have it. Mom says no, they have enough clothes at home. Sara is sad and angry. She starts to cry and scream. + +Tom sees Sara crying and screaming. He does not like it. He wants Sara to be calm and happy. He thinks of a way to make Sara feel better. He sees a balloon seller at the market. He has many balloons of different colors. Tom asks Mom if he can have a balloon. Mom says yes, he can have one balloon. + +Tom chooses a blue balloon.

You can hang it in your room. Do you like it?" + +Sara stops crying and screaming. She looks at the balloon. She likes balloons. She likes blue. She takes the balloon from Tom. She says, "Thank you, Tom. This is a nice balloon. I like it very much. You are a good brother. I am sorry I was sad and angry. I do not need the dress. I have a balloon." She smiles and hugs Tom. + +Mom sees Sara and Tom smiling and hugging. She is happy. She says, "You are very sweet, Tom. You made Sara feel better. You are very smart, Sara. You do not need the dress. You have a balloon. I am proud of you both. Let's go home now." She takes Sara and Tom by the hand and they leave the market. They are calm and happy. +Tim and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and zebras. But their favorite was the kangaroo. The kangaroo had a big pouch where it kept its baby. The baby kangaroo was called a joey. + +"Look, mom, the kangaroo is jumping!" Tim said. + +"Yes, it is. Kangaroos can jump very high and far. They use their strong legs and tail to balance," mom said. + +"Can I jump like a kangaroo?" Lily asked. + +"You can try, but be careful. Kangaroos are much better at jumping than people," mom said. + +Tim and Lily tried to jump like kangaroos. They bent their knees and pushed with their feet. They hopped around the kangaroo enclosure, laughing and having fun. + +The kangaroo watched them with curiosity. It thought they were funny and cute. It wanted to play with them. It hopped closer to the fence and made a soft noise. + +"Mom, the kangaroo is talking to us!" Lily said. + +"Maybe it is. Maybe it likes you. Why don't you say hello?" mom said. + +Tim and Lily said hello to the kangaroo. They waved their hands and smiled. The kangaroo waved its paw and smiled back. It performed a little jump for them. It was a way of saying thank you. + +Tim and Lily clapped their hands and cheered. They thought the kangaroo was very nice and clever. They gave it a name. They called it Joey. + +"Bye, Joey. We had fun with you. You are a very thoughtful kangaroo," Tim and Lily said. + +"Bye, Tim and Lily. You are very friendly and brave. You are very good jumpers," Joey said. + +Tim, Lily, and mom left the zoo. They were happy and tired. They had learned a lot about animals. They had made a new friend. They hoped to see Joey again. +Anna loved to squeeze her teddy bear. It was soft and warm and made her feel happy. She always took her teddy bear with her when she went to bed or to the park or to visit Grandma. Her teddy bear was her luxury, her special thing. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom and her teddy bear. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She left her teddy bear on a bench and climbed up the ladder. She slid down fast and felt the wind in her hair. She laughed and ran back to the ladder. + +But when she got to the bench, her teddy bear was gone. She looked around and saw a boy holding her teddy bear. He was squeezing it hard and pulling its ears. Anna felt angry. She ran to the boy and shouted, "That's my teddy bear! Give it back!" + +The boy looked at her and said, "No, it's mine now. I like it. It's soft and warm and makes me feel happy." He squeezed the teddy bear harder and stuck out his tongue. + +Anna felt very angry. She wanted to hit the boy and take her teddy bear back. But she remembered what her mom had told her. Hitting is bad. Sharing is good. She took a deep breath and said, "Please, can we share the teddy bear? You can squeeze it for a little while, and then I can squeeze it too. It's my luxury, my special thing. I love it very much." + +The boy looked at her and thought for a moment. He saw that she was sad and that she loved her teddy bear too. He felt a little sorry for her. He said, "Okay, we can share. But only for a little while. Then you have to give it back to me." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you. You are very kind." She sat next to the boy and they took turns squeezing the teddy bear. They talked and laughed and became friends. They learned that they both liked slides and ice cream and dinosaurs. They had fun at the park and forgot to be angry. +Sam and Mia liked to paint. They had many colors and brushes. They painted on paper, on rocks, on leaves, and sometimes on the wall. Their mom was not happy when they painted on the wall. She said, "No, no, no! You have to paint on paper only. The wall is not for painting. It is for looking." + +One day, Sam and Mia went to the park with their mom. They saw a big trail. The trail was brown and smooth. It looked like a long paper. Sam and Mia had an idea. They took out their paints and brushes. They said, "Let's paint on the trail. It will be fun. It will be interesting. The trail will be colorful." + +They started to paint on the trail. They painted flowers, animals, stars, and rainbows. They painted red, blue, yellow, and green. They were happy. They did not see their mom. They did not see the bike. The bike was fast. The bike was on the trail. The bike did not see Sam and Mia. The bike hit Sam and Mia. Sam and Mia fell down. They cried. They were hurt. Their paints and brushes were broken. Their mom ran to them. She was scared. She was angry. She said, "What did you do? Why did you paint on the trail? The trail is not for painting. It is for walking and biking. You could have been killed. You are in big trouble." + +Sam and Mia were sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to paint. We thought it was interesting. We did not know it was bad. We did not see the bike. We are sorry, mom." + +Their mom hugged them. She said, "I am glad you are alive. But you have to be careful. You have to listen to me. You have to follow the rules. Painting on the trail is dangerous and wrong. You have to say sorry to the bike rider. You have to clean up the trail. You have to learn from your mistake." + +Sam and Mia said sorry to the bike rider. They cleaned up the trail. They learned from their mistake. They never painted on the trail again. They only painted on paper. They were still happy. But they were more careful. They did not want to have a bad ending again. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big hill. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +They held hands and started to walk up the hill. It was hard and steep. They had to use their feet and hands. They were not scared. They were brave and curious. + +But when they reached the top, they saw something they did not like. They saw a big road with many cars and trucks. They heard loud noises and saw smoke. They felt scared and sad. They did not want to play there. They wanted to go back to the park. + +They turned around and tried to walk down the hill. But they were too fast and lost their balance. They started to fall. They fell and rolled and bumped. They cried and shouted. They wanted to stop. + +They stopped at the bottom of the hill. They were dirty and hurt. They hugged each other and looked for help. They saw a man with a dog. He was kind and gentle. He helped them stand up and cleaned their wounds. He asked them where they came from and where they wanted to go. + +They told him they came from the park and wanted to go back. He said he would take them there. He said they should not climb the hill again. He said it was too dangerous and distant. He said they should stay in the park and have fun. + +They thanked him and followed him and his dog. They walked back to the park. They saw their swing, slide and run. They felt happy and safe. They learned their lesson. They decided to never climb the hill again. They decided to enjoy their time in the park. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. Lily is organized. She puts her toys in boxes and shelves. Max is not organized. He leaves his toys everywhere on the floor and the bed. + +One day, Mom says, "Lily and Max, it is time to clean your room. I will watch you and help you." Mom opens the door and comes in. She sees Lily's side of the room and smiles. She sees Max's side of the room and frowns. + +"Lily, you are very organized. You have done a good job. Max, you are not organized. You have made a big mess. You need to pick up your toys and put them away." Mom says. + +"But Mom, I don't want to. I like my toys like this. I can find them easily." Max says. + +"No, Max. You can't leave your toys like this. They will get lost or broken. And you will have no space to play. And it is not fair to Lily. She has to share the room with you. You have to be organized too." Mom says. + +"Fine, Mom. I will try." Max says. He starts to pick up his toys and put them in boxes and shelves. He does not like it. He thinks it is boring. He wants to play with his toys instead. + +Lily sees Max and says, "Max, I will help you. It is not so hard. It is fun. You can make patterns and colors with your toys. You can sort them by size and shape. You can count them and name them. You can make stories with them. And when you are done, you can watch them and be proud." Lily says. + +"Really, Lily? You think so?" Max says. + +"Yes, Max. I do. Come on, let's do it together." Lily says. + +Max and Lily work together. They pick up their toys and put them away. They make patterns and colors with their toys. They sort them by size and shape. They count them and name them. They make stories with them. And when they are done, they watch them and are proud. + +Mom sees them and says, "Lily and Max, you are both very organized. You have done a great job. I am proud of you. Now you have a clean and beautiful room. You can play with your toys anytime you want. But remember to put them away when you are done. OK?" Mom says. + +"OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom." Lily and Max say. + +Mom hugs them and says, "You are welcome, my loves. Now, how about a snack?" Mom says. + +"Yes, please, Mom. We are hungry." Lily and Max say. + +Mom, Lily, and Max leave the room. They close the door. They go to the kitchen. They have a snack. They are happy. The end. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they were selfish and did not want to share their toys. One day, their mom gave them a job. She said, "I have a surprise for you, but you have to do this job first. You have to clean your room and put away your toys. Then you can see the surprise." + +Tom and Lily did not like to clean their room. They thought it was boring and hard. They started to argue over who had to do what. "You do it!" said Tom. "No, you do it!" said Lily. They did not want to help each other. They only wanted to see the surprise. + +Their mom heard them and was sad. She wanted them to learn to work together and be kind. She had a plan. She went to their room and said, "I see you are not done with your job. That's too bad. Because the surprise is ready. Do you want to see it?" + +Tom and Lily stopped fighting and ran to their mom. They wanted to see the surprise. They hoped it was something fun, like a new toy or a cake. Their mom took them to the living room. There, they saw a big box with a bow on it. They were excited. They opened the box and looked inside. + +But they did not see a toy or a cake. They saw a pile of books. Their mom said, "The surprise is a gift for the library. You have so many toys, but some children have none. So I thought you could share some of your books with them. They will be very happy to read them." + +Tom and Lily were not happy. They did not want to give away their books. They liked their books. They thought their mom was mean and selfish. They started to cry and whine. "We don't want to give our books! We want a real surprise! This is not fair!" + +Their mom shook her head and said, "I'm sorry you feel that way. But this is the surprise. And this is the job. You have to choose some books to donate and put them in the box. Then we will take them to the library. Maybe then you will understand how good it feels to share and help others." + +Tom and Lily did not understand. They did not want to do the job. They did not want to share. They only wanted to keep their books. They did not know that their mom had another surprise for them. A surprise that would make them change their minds. A surprise that was hiding behind the couch. A surprise that was furry and friendly and wagging its tail. A surprise that was a puppy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were explorers in the jungle. They had a big box that was their tent, and a flashlight that was their torch. + +"Look, Ben, I found a fancy necklace!" Lily said, holding up a string of beads. "Maybe it belongs to a queen!" + +"Wow, that's so pretty!" Ben said. "Can I see it?" + +Lily nodded and handed him the necklace. Ben put it around his neck and smiled. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Rex, barking at something. They grabbed their flashlight and ran to see what it was. + +They saw Rex chasing a squirrel up a tree. The squirrel had something shiny in its mouth. It was Lily's necklace! + +"Hey, give that back!" Lily shouted. "That's mine!" + +The squirrel looked at them and made a funny noise. Then it threw the necklace down at them. It landed on the ground with a clatter. + +Lily and Ben ran to pick it up. But before they could, Rex jumped on it and started to chew it. + +"Rex, no!" Ben yelled. "That's not a toy!" + +They tried to pull the necklace away from Rex, but he was too strong. He ripped the beads apart and scattered them everywhere. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They liked the fancy necklace. They wished they could fix it. + +They had an idea. They went back to their tent and found some paper and tape. They cut the paper into different shapes and colors. Then they taped them together to make a new necklace. + +They wrapped the paper necklace around Lily's neck. It was not as shiny as the beads, but it was still pretty. + +"Look, we made a new necklace!" Lily said. "It's even fancier than the old one!" + +Ben smiled and hugged her. "You're right, Lily. It's beautiful. Just like you!" + +They turned on their flashlight and pretended it was a star. They danced and sang in the backyard. They were happy. They were explorers. They were friends. +Lily loved to play with her aeroplane. She made it fly in the air and zoom around the room. She pretended it was going to faraway places and having adventures. She was very happy with her aeroplane. + +One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He saw her aeroplane and wanted to play with it too. He grabbed it from her hands and ran away. Lily was very angry and sad. She chased after him and shouted, "Give it back! It's mine!" + +Tom did not listen. He threw the aeroplane in the air and tried to catch it. But he missed and the aeroplane fell to the floor. It broke into pieces. Tom was scared and ashamed. He knew he had done something bad. + +Lily saw her broken aeroplane and cried. She loved her aeroplane and now it was ruined. She was very upset and hurt. She said to Tom, "You are mean and naughty! You broke my aeroplane! I don't like you!" + +Tom felt sorry and guilty. He wanted to make Lily happy again. He said to Lily, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong and selfish. I should have asked you first. Please forgive me. I will try to fix your aeroplane or get you a new one." + +Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was sincere. She was still angry and sad, but she also felt sorry for him. She knew he was her brother and he loved her. She said to Tom, "OK, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to be careful and kind. And you have to share and ask. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and hugged Lily. He said, "I understand, Lily. Thank you for forgiving me. I love you. You are my sister and my friend." + +Lily hugged Tom back. She said, "I love you too, Tom. You are my brother and my friend. But don't touch my aeroplane again!" + +They both laughed and played together. They were happy again. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play together. One day, Tom said to Lily, "I have a big secret. Do you want to know?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. Tell me your secret." + +Tom said, "My dad has a passport. He goes to far places. He brings me things. He has a mysterious box. He said I can open it with a friend. Do you want to come to my house and see the box?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. That sounds fun. When can we go?" + +Tom said, "We can go now. My dad is not home. He will not know. Come on, let's go." + +Tom and Lily went to Tom's house. They ran to Tom's room. They saw the mysterious box on the bed. It was big and brown. It had a lock and a key. Tom took the key and opened the box. + +Lily said, "What is inside the box?" + +Tom said, "I don't know. Let's look." + +They looked inside the box. They saw many things. They saw clothes and toys and books and pictures. They saw a shiny thing. It was a gun. + +Tom said, "Wow, look at this. It is a gun. It looks like the ones on TV. Can I hold it?" + +Lily said, "No, don't. It is dangerous. Put it back." + +Tom said, "No, it is not. It is fun. I want to play with it. I want to be a spy like my dad." + +Tom picked up the gun. He pointed it at Lily. He said, "Bang, bang. You are the bad guy. I am the good guy. I win." + +Lily said, "Stop it, Tom. That is not a game. That is scary. Give me the gun." + +Tom said, "No, you can't have it. It is mine. Go away." + +Lily said, "No, I won't. Give me the gun, Tom. Please." + +Tom said, "No, I won't. You are mean. You are not my friend. Go away or I will shoot you." + +Lily said, "No, Tom, don't. Don't shoot me. I am your friend. I am sorry. Please, Tom, please." + +Tom said, "Too late. Bang, bang." + +Tom pulled the trigger. The gun made a loud noise. Lily fell down. She did not move. She did not talk. She did not breathe. + +Tom dropped the gun. He looked at Lily. He saw blood. He saw a hole. He saw her eyes. They were open. They were sad. They were scared. + +Tom screamed. He cried. He said, "Lily, Lily, wake up. I am sorry. I did not mean it. Please, Lily, please." + +But Lily did not wake up. She was gone. Tom was alone. He was scared. He was sorry. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They go to the same classroom. They like to play and learn. But sometimes they are not good. They make noise and mess. They do not listen to the teacher. The teacher is serious. She wants them to be quiet and tidy. + +One day, the teacher has a surprise. She says they will go on a trip. They will see a big truck. The truck can load many things. It can load cars and bikes and boxes. The teacher says they have to be good on the trip. They have to follow the rules and stay together. + +Lily and Ben are excited. They want to see the truck. They get on the bus with the other kids. They sit next to each other. They talk and laugh. They do not listen to the teacher. They do not follow the rules. They do not stay together. + +When they get to the truck, they run off. They want to touch the truck. They want to climb on the truck. They do not see the danger. They do not hear the horn. They do not see the driver. The driver is serious. He wants them to be safe. He shouts at them. He tells them to get off the truck. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They get off the truck. They run back to the teacher. The teacher is serious. She is angry. She says they are bad. She says they could have been hurt. She says they have to go back to the bus. They have to go back to the classroom. They have no more trip. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They cry. They say they are sorry. They say they will be good. They say they will listen to the teacher. They say they will follow the rules. They say they will stay together. + +The teacher is serious. She says they have to learn. She says they have to be careful. She says they have to respect the truck. She says the truck can load many things. But it cannot load bad kids. +Sara and Tom were very happy. They waited for their grandma to arrive. Grandma lived far away and did not visit often. Sara and Tom loved grandma very much. She always brought them nice things and told them stories. + +They heard a car stop outside. They ran to the door and opened it. Grandma was there! She smiled and hugged them. She had a big bag with her. Sara and Tom wondered what was inside. + +"Hello, my dear children!" Grandma said. "I missed you so much. I have something for you in my bag. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Sara and Tom said. They followed grandma to the living room. Grandma opened her bag and took out two big wraps. She gave one to Sara and one to Tom. "These are for you. I made them myself. They are very warm and soft. You can use them when it is cold." + +Sara and Tom thanked grandma and opened their wraps. They were blankets with colorful patterns. Sara's blanket had flowers and butterflies. Tom's blanket had cars and trains. They were very beautiful and cozy. Sara and Tom wrapped themselves in their blankets and felt happy. + +"Grandma, you are the best!" Sara said. "We love you!" + +"Grandma, you are very clever!" Tom said. "We love you!" + +Grandma smiled and kissed them. She was very happy too. She was deaf, so she could not hear very well. But she could see their faces and feel their hugs. She knew they loved her. And she loved them too. They were her family. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a box of pastels that they used to draw on the ground. They made flowers, stars, and animals with different colors. + +One day, a big boy came to the park. He saw Sara and Tom's pastels and wanted to take them. He said, "Give me your pastels, or I will make you cry." He was scary and mean. + +Sara and Tom were afraid of the big boy. They did not want to give him their pastels, but they did not know what to do. They looked at each other and whispered, "What should we do?" + +Then, they had an idea. They said to the big boy, "You can have our pastels, but first you have to draw something nice with them." The big boy was surprised. He did not know how to draw anything nice. He only knew how to draw angry faces and monsters. + +He took a pastel and tried to draw something nice, but he could not. He felt silly and ashamed. He realized that he was being rude and selfish. He said to Sara and Tom, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. You can keep your pastels. I don't need them. Can you teach me how to draw something nice?" + +Sara and Tom smiled and said, "Sure, we can teach you. Drawing is fun and easy. You just have to use your imagination and be kind." They gave him a pastel and showed him how to draw a flower. The big boy smiled and said, "Thank you, you are nice friends." + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring, and kindness is better than bullying. +Sara and her dog Max were lost in the big sand. They walked and walked, but they could not find their way back to their home. Sara was thirsty and hungry, and Max was tired and hot. They both shivered when the cold wind blew at night. + +"Max, where are we?" Sara asked her dog. "I want to see Mom and Dad again." + +Max barked and licked Sara's face. He was loyal and loved Sara very much. He wanted to protect her and make her happy. + +One day, they saw something green and blue in the distance. It looked like a big pool of water and some trees and grass. Sara and Max ran towards it, hoping it was real and not a trick of their eyes. + +"Max, look! It's an oasis! We can drink and rest there!" Sara shouted with joy. + +Max wagged his tail and followed Sara. They reached the oasis and jumped into the water. It was cool and fresh, and they drank as much as they could. They also ate some dates and nuts that they found on the palms. They felt better and stronger. + +"Max, we are lucky to find this oasis. Maybe someone will come and help us soon," Sara said. + +Max barked and cuddled with Sara. They were happy to be together and to have found a place to survive. They hoped that their parents would find them soon, but they also knew that they had each other. They were loyal friends. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. Some are big, some are small, some are red, some are blue. + +One day, Lily and Tom want to play with their cars and trucks outside. They ask their mom if they can go. Mom says yes, but they have to be careful and stay in the yard. Lily and Tom say okay and run outside with their cars and trucks. + +They find a big puddle of water in the yard. They think it is fun to make their cars and trucks splash in the water. They pretend they are drivers and make noises like vroom and beep. They get wet and muddy, but they do not care. + +Mom watches them from the window. She smiles and shakes her head. She knows they are having fun, but they also need to get clean. She calls them to come inside. Lily and Tom hear her and stop playing. They pick up their cars and trucks and go inside. + +Mom says they have to bathe before they can have lunch. Lily and Tom do not want to bathe. They say they are fine. Mom says they are not fine. They are dirty and smelly. She says they have to bathe or they will not get lunch. Lily and Tom do not like that. They love lunch. They say okay and go to the bathroom. + +Mom helps them to bathe. She washes their hair and their bodies. She rinses them with warm water. She dries them with a soft towel. She puts on clean clothes for them. She says they are fine now. They are clean and fresh. Lily and Tom say thank you and hug her. They say they are hungry. Mom says they can have lunch now. She takes them to the kitchen. She makes them sandwiches and juice. They eat and drink and talk about their cars and trucks. They are happy. +Tim and Kim were twins who loved to sing and dance. They wanted to perform for their family after dinner. They practiced all day in their room, making up songs and moves. They wore their best clothes and felt very mighty. + +"Are you ready, Kim?" Tim asked. + +"Yes, Tim, let's go!" Kim said. + +They ran to the living room, where their parents and grandparents were waiting. They smiled and clapped for them. Tim and Kim started to perform. They sang loudly and danced wildly. They jumped and spun and kicked. They felt very happy and proud. + +But they did not pay attention to where they were going. They bumped into the table, where the dessert was. The dessert was a big cake with candles and frosting. It was for their grandpa's birthday. Tim and Kim knocked over the cake. It fell on the floor and made a big mess. The candles went out and the frosting got everywhere. + +Their family gasped and groaned. Tim and Kim stopped performing. They looked at the cake and felt very sorry. They had ruined the dessert and the birthday. They had been too careless and selfish. + +Their grandpa was not angry, but he was sad. He said, "Tim and Kim, I love you, but you need to learn to be careful and respectful. Performing is fun, but not when you hurt others or spoil their joy. You should think of others before yourself. That is the moral of this story." + +Tim and Kim nodded and hugged their grandpa. They said they were sorry and they loved him. They helped to clean up the mess and promised to do better next time. They learned their lesson, but they wished they had not ruined the dessert and the birthday. They felt very ashamed and sad. The end. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress, and a smile. Lily liked to pretend that Anna was her sister and they did everything together. + +One day, Lily saw a new girl next door. She was the same age as Lily and had a doll too. Lily wanted to be friends with her. She took Anna and ran to the fence. She said hello to the new girl. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" Lily asked. + +"I'm Mia. This is my doll, Elsa," the new girl said. She showed her doll to Lily. Elsa had short hair, a blue dress, and a frown. + +"Can we play together?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but you have to give me your doll first," Mia said. + +"Why?" Lily asked. + +"Because my doll is better than yours. Yours is fake and ugly," Mia said. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She loved her doll and did not want to give it to Mia. She thought Mia was mean and rude. She said no to Mia. + +"No, I won't give you my doll. She is not fake and ugly. She is real and pretty. You are a bad neighbor and I don't want to play with you," Lily said. + +She turned around and ran back to her house. She hugged Anna and told her she was sorry. She said she would never let anyone take her away. She said she was her best friend. + +Lily did not know that Mia was lying. Mia's doll was fake and ugly. She had found it in the trash and painted it with blue paint. She was jealous of Lily's doll and wanted to have it. She thought she could trick Lily and make her trade. She did not care about being a good neighbor or a good friend. + +But Lily was smart and brave. She did not fall for Mia's lie. She knew that her doll was real and pretty. She knew that she was a good neighbor and a good friend. She was happy with Anna and did not need Mia. She closed the door and played with her doll. She smiled and Anna smiled back. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the basement. Inside the box, there are many things. There are hats and shoes and dresses and coats. There are also masks and wigs and jewels and feathers. Lily and Ben are very happy. They want to play dress-up. + +Lily puts on a pink dress and a feather boa. She finds a string of pearls and puts it around her neck. She looks at herself in the mirror. She says, "I am a famous star. I sing and dance and everyone loves me." + +Ben puts on a black coat and a hat. He finds a string of beads and puts it around his wrist. He looks at himself in the mirror. He says, "I am a famous spy. I go on missions and solve mysteries and everyone fears me." + +Lily and Ben pretend to be famous. They make up stories and act them out. They have a lot of fun. They start to sing and dance and talk in funny voices. + +But then they hear a noise. It is Mom. She is coming down the stairs. She says, "What are you doing, kids? It is time for lunch." + +Lily and Ben stop playing. They look at each other. They smile. They say, "We are playing dress-up, Mom. We are famous." + +Mom smiles too. She says, "You are very creative, kids. But you also need to eat. Come on, let's go upstairs. You can play dress-up again later." + +Lily and Ben take off their costumes and put them back in the box. They follow Mom upstairs. They are hungry. They are also happy. They like to play dress-up. They like to be famous. +Ben and Jen were twins who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a laser. A laser was a thing that made a bright red light. They could point the laser at the wall, the floor, or the ceiling, and make funny shapes and lines. + +One day, Ben had an idea. He wanted to improve the laser. He thought that if he opened the laser and changed some parts, it would make a bigger and brighter light. He did not tell Jen what he was doing. He took the laser to his room and used a screwdriver to open it. + +Jen was looking for the laser. She wanted to play with it. She asked Ben where it was. Ben said, "I have it in my room. I am improving it. It will be better than normal." Jen was curious. She wanted to see the improved laser. She went to Ben's room and knocked on the door. + +Ben was almost done. He had taken out some parts and put in some new ones. He did not know what they did, but they looked cool. He closed the laser and turned it on. He was happy. The light was bigger and brighter than before. He pointed it at the wall and saw a huge red circle. + +Jen opened the door and saw the improved laser. She was amazed. She wanted to try it. She said, "Wow, Ben, you did a great job. Can I play with it?" Ben said, "Sure, Jen, here you go. But be careful, it is very powerful." He gave the laser to Jen and smiled. + +Jen took the laser and pointed it at the ceiling. She pressed the button and saw a big red dot. She moved the laser around and made different shapes. She was having fun. She did not notice that the laser was also making holes in the ceiling. She did not hear the cracking sound. She did not see the dust falling. She did not feel the ceiling collapsing. She did not have time to scream. +Lily liked honey very much. She liked to spread honey on her bread and eat it for breakfast. She liked to spread honey on her crackers and eat them for snack. She liked to spread honey on her pancakes and eat them for dinner. She liked honey so much that she did not want to share it with anyone. + +One day, Lily's mom bought a big jar of honey for Lily. Lily was very happy. She took the jar to her room and hid it under her bed. She did not tell anyone about her honey. She thought, "This is my honey. I will eat it all by myself." + +The next day, Lily's brother Ben came to her room. He wanted to play with Lily. He saw the jar of honey under her bed. He said, "Lily, can I have some honey? I am hungry." Lily said, "No, this is my honey. Go away." Ben was sad. He went to his room. + +The next day, Lily's friend Anna came to her house. She wanted to play with Lily. She saw the jar of honey on her desk. She said, "Lily, can I have some honey? I am thirsty." Lily said, "No, this is my honey. Go away." Anna was sad. She went to her home. + +The next day, Lily's dad came to her room. He wanted to hug Lily. He saw the jar of honey on her pillow. He said, "Lily, can I have some honey? I am sick." Lily said, "No, this is my honey. Go away." Dad was sad. He went to his bed. + +The next day, Lily wanted to eat some honey. She opened the jar of honey. She saw something moving in the honey. She looked closer. She saw many ants in the honey. The ants had found her honey and had crawled into the jar. They had eaten some of the honey and had made it dirty. Lily was scared. She screamed, "Help! Help! There are ants in my honey!" + +Lily's mom, dad, brother, and friend heard her scream. They came to her room. They saw the jar of honey with the ants. They said, "Lily, why did you hide your honey? Why did you not share your honey? Honey is for everyone. If you share your honey, you will have more friends and less ants." Lily felt sorry. She said, "I am sorry. I was bossy. I will share my honey from now on." She gave some honey to her mom, dad, brother, and friend. They ate the honey and smiled. Lily smiled too. She learned that sharing is better than being bossy. +Lily did not like broccoli. She thought it was green and sour and yucky. She did not want to eat it for dinner. She pushed her plate away and made a face. + +"Please, Lily, try some broccoli. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy," Mommy said. + +"No, thank you, Mommy. I do not like broccoli. Can I have something else?" Lily asked. + +Mommy shook her head. "No, Lily, you have to eat what is on your plate. Broccoli is not that bad. Look, I will show you how to make it yummy." Mommy took a fork and picked up a piece of broccoli. She dipped it in some sauce and put it in her mouth. She smiled and said, "Mmm, delicious!" + +Lily was curious. She wondered if the sauce made the broccoli taste better. She decided to try it. She took a fork and picked up a piece of broccoli. She dipped it in the sauce and put it in her mouth. She chewed and chewed. She did not like it. It was still sour and yucky. She spit it out and rubbed her tongue with her napkin. + +"Yuck, yuck, yuck! I do not like broccoli with sauce. I do not like broccoli at all!" Lily said. + +Mommy sighed. She did not know what to do. She wanted Lily to eat her vegetables. She thought of an idea. She said, "How about this, Lily? If you eat one more piece of broccoli, you can have a cookie for dessert. How does that sound?" + +Lily thought about it. She liked cookies. They were sweet and crunchy and yummy. She wanted a cookie. She looked at the broccoli. She did not want to eat it. But she wanted a cookie more. She said, "Okay, Mommy. I will eat one more piece of broccoli. But only one. And then I want a cookie." + +Mommy smiled. She said, "Deal. Here, I will help you. I will cut the broccoli into a small piece. And I will give you some water to drink. And I will hold your hand. You can do it, Lily. You are a brave girl." + +Lily nodded. She took a deep breath. She opened her mouth. She ate the broccoli. She swallowed. She drank the water. She rubbed her mouth with her napkin. She did it. She ate the broccoli. + +Mommy clapped. She said, "Good job, Lily! I am so proud of you. You ate the broccoli. You are a brave girl. And now you can have a cookie. Here you go. Enjoy your dessert." + +Lily smiled. She took the cookie. She bit into it. It was sweet and crunchy and yummy. She liked the cookie. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. The cookie is good. I like the cookie. But I still do not like broccoli." +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the mud and make pies. One day, they found a big pile of mud near the fence. They ran to it and started to dig and shape the mud. + +"Look, I made a cake!" Tim said. He put a stick on top of his mud pie. "It has a candle!" + +"Wow, that's a great cake!" Sam said. He made his own mud pie and put a leaf on top. "Mine has a flower!" + +They were very proud of their mud pies. They wanted to show them to their moms. They picked up their pies and walked to the house. They were very careful not to drop them. + +"Mom, mom, look what we made!" Tim and Sam shouted as they entered the kitchen. They held up their mud pies and smiled. + +Their moms looked at them and gasped. They were filthy from head to toe. Their clothes, their hands, their faces, their hair, all covered in mud. Their mud pies dripped on the floor. + +"What are those?" their moms asked. + +"They are cakes!" Tim and Sam said. "We made them in the mud!" + +Their moms shook their heads. They did not like the mud cakes. They did not like the mess. They did not like the smell. + +"Those are not cakes, those are dirt!" their moms said. "You need to go to the bath right now! And throw those things away!" + +Tim and Sam felt sad. They did not understand why their moms did not like their mud cakes. They thought they were beautiful. They wanted to display them on the table. + +"But mom, we worked hard on them!" Tim and Sam said. "They are our gifts for you!" + +Their moms sighed. They loved their sons, but they did not love their mud cakes. They hugged them and kissed them on the cheek. + +"Thank you for your gifts, but they are not good for the house," their moms said. "You can make other gifts that are clean and nice. Now, go to the bath and wash your waist and your face and your hands and your hair. And don't play in the mud again!" + +Tim and Sam nodded. They dropped their mud cakes in the trash and went to the bath. They scrubbed and rinsed and dried. They put on clean clothes and combed their hair. They looked at each other and smiled. + +"Maybe we can make paper cakes next time," Tim said. + +"Or clay cakes," Sam said. + +They agreed. They still liked to make cakes, but they did not like to be filthy. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. +Lila liked to look at the stars at night. She had a big book with pictures of stars and planets and comets. She learned that comets were balls of ice and dust that flew very fast in the sky. Sometimes they came close to the sun and made a long tail of light. + +One night, Lila saw a bright star that moved across the sky. She ran to get her book and found out that it was a comet. She was very excited and wanted to show it to her friends. She called them on the phone and told them to look out the window. + +"Wow, that's amazing!" said Ben, who liked science. "Do you know what it's called?" + +"It's called Comet Hale-Bopp," said Lila, reading from her book. "It's very popular. Many people want to see it." + +"Can we see it tomorrow night too?" asked Mia, who liked art. "It's so pretty. I want to draw it." + +"Maybe," said Lila. "But we have to be quick. The book says that comets melt when they get close to the sun. They lose some of their ice and dust and become smaller and fainter." + +"I hope it doesn't melt too much," said Mia. "I don't want it to disappear." + +The next night, Lila and her friends met at the park with their binoculars and their books. They looked for the comet in the sky, but they could not find it. They asked some other people who were also looking, but they said they could not see it either. + +"Where did it go?" asked Lila, feeling sad. + +"Maybe it melted too much," said Ben, feeling smart. + +"Maybe it flew away," said Mia, feeling hopeful. + +They decided to go home and look at their books again. They learned that comets sometimes come back after many years, when they make a big circle around the sun. They hoped that they would see Comet Hale-Bopp again someday, when they were older and bigger. They also learned that there were many other comets and stars and planets to see in the sky, and that they could always share their wonder and curiosity with each other. +Tom and Sue are brother and sister. They like to watch television a lot. They watch cartoons, movies, and games. They do not like to play outside, read books, or help mom and dad. They are lazy. + +One day, mom and dad say, "Tom and Sue, you watch too much television. It is not good for you. You need to do other things. Go outside and play with your friends. Or read some books and learn new things. Or help us with the chores and be nice." + +But Tom and Sue do not listen. They say, "No, we want to watch television. It is fun and easy. We do not want to do other things. They are boring and hard." + +Mom and dad are sad and angry. They say, "Fine, if you do not want to do other things, you cannot watch television either. We will turn it off and lock it. You can only watch it again when you do other things." + +Tom and Sue are shocked and upset. They say, "No, please do not turn it off and lock it. We love television. We need television. Please let us watch it." + +But mom and dad do not change their mind. They turn off the television and lock it. They say, "You can watch it again when you show us that you can do other things. Now go and find something else to do." + +Tom and Sue are bored and unhappy. They do not know what to do. They look around the house and see many things. They see toys, books, puzzles, crayons, and paper. They see a ball, a bike, a jump rope, and a swing. They see a broom, a dustpan, a sponge, and a cloth. + +They decide to try some of these things. They play with the toys, read the books, solve the puzzles, and draw with the crayons and paper. They have fun and learn new things. They go outside and play with the ball, the bike, the jump rope, and the swing. They have fun and exercise. They help mom and dad with the broom, the dustpan, the sponge, and the cloth. They have fun and be nice. + +After a while, mom and dad come and see what Tom and Sue are doing. They are happy and proud. They say, "Tom and Sue, you are doing great. You are doing other things. You are not lazy. You are smart and active and kind. We are sorry we were harsh with you. You can watch television again. But not too much. You need to balance your time. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sue understand. They say, "Yes, we understand. Thank you, mom and dad. We are sorry we were stubborn. We will balance our time. We will watch television, but not too much. We will do other things, too. We love you." + +Mom and dad hug Tom and Sue. They say, "We love you, too. You are good children. Now, let's watch some television together. But only for a little while. Then we can do other things together, too." + +The end. +Sara and Ben are in class. They like to learn new things. Today, they are learning how to add. The teacher shows them how to use their fingers and blocks to add. + +"Two fingers and two fingers make four fingers," the teacher says. "Two blocks and two blocks make four blocks. Can you add, Sara and Ben?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They try to add with their fingers and blocks. They have fun. + +But then, Ben sees a hidden toy under the table. It is a red car. He likes cars. He wants to play with it. + +"Look, Sara, a car!" he whispers. He takes the car and hides it in his pocket. + +"Sara, do you want to play with the car?" he asks. + +Sara shakes her head. She likes to add. She wants to learn more. + +"No, Ben, we have to add. The teacher will be sad if we don't add. And you have to give back the car. It is not yours," she says. + +Ben feels bad. He knows Sara is right. He takes out the car and puts it back under the table. + +"Sorry, Sara. Sorry, car. I will add with you," he says. + +Sara smiles. She is happy. She and Ben add with their fingers and blocks. They learn more. The teacher is proud of them. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a big yard with many flowers and trees. They call it their landscape. + +One day, they are playing with their ball. They throw it and catch it and run after it. They are having fun, but they are also getting tired. + +"Anna, I am sleepy. Can we nap?" Ben asks. + +"Okay, Ben. Let's nap. But where?" Anna says. + +They look around. They see a big tree with a soft grass under it. They think it is a good place to nap. + +They go to the tree and lie down on the grass. They close their eyes and listen to the birds. They feel the breeze on their faces. They are ready to nap. + +They nap for a while. They dream of more games and adventures. They are happy and peaceful. They love their landscape. +Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together every day. One day, they wanted to watch a movie on the big TV. They asked Lily's mom if they could make popcorn. + +"Sure, you can make popcorn," Lily's mom said. "But be careful with the hot pot. And don't make a mess." + +Sam and Lily went to the kitchen. They found a big pot and some corn. They put some oil and salt in the pot. Then they put the corn in the pot. They turned on the stove. + +"Pop, pop, pop!" The corn started to make noises. Sam and Lily were happy. They liked the sound of popcorn. + +But then, the pot got too full. Popcorn spilled out of the pot. It went all over the stove, the counter, the floor, and the walls. + +"Oh no!" Sam and Lily said. "We made a mess. Lily's mom will be mad. What do we do?" + +Sam and Lily were worried. They tried to clean up the popcorn. But it was tough. The popcorn was sticky and greasy. They used a towel, a sponge, and a broom. But they could not get rid of all the popcorn. + +They heard Lily's mom coming. They hid behind the table. + +"Lily, Sam, what happened here?" Lily's mom asked. She saw the popcorn everywhere. She was not happy. + +Sam and Lily came out from behind the table. They looked at Lily's mom with sad eyes. + +"We're sorry, mom," Lily said. "We wanted to make popcorn for the movie. But we made too much. And we made a mess. We tried to clean it up. But it was tough." + +Lily's mom sighed. She looked at Sam and Lily. She saw that they were sorry. She also saw that they were worried. + +She smiled. She hugged them. + +"It's okay, kids," she said. "I know you didn't mean to make a mess. And I know you tried to clean it up. But next time, please ask me for help. And don't use so much corn. Popcorn is fun, but not when it's everywhere." + +Sam and Lily nodded. They said thank you to Lily's mom. They helped her finish cleaning up the popcorn. Then they went to watch the movie. They shared a small bowl of popcorn. They were happy. They were not worried anymore. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man with a big hat and a basket. The man said he could make a snake perform tricks for them. Tom and Sam were curious and wanted to see. + +The man opened the basket and took out a long, thin snake. He said some words and waved his hand. The snake moved its head and made a hissing sound. Tom and Sam clapped and laughed. The man said, "Do you want to touch the snake? It is very friendly and soft." + +Tom was brave and reached out his hand. But Sam was scared and said, "No, thank you. I don't like snakes. They are scary and dangerous. They can bite and hurt you." + +The man said, "Don't worry, this snake is old and gentle. It won't bite you. It likes children. Come on, don't be afraid." + +Sam felt bad and wanted to be brave like Tom. He slowly moved his hand towards the snake. But as soon as he touched it, the snake bit him hard on his finger. Sam screamed and cried. The man quickly put the snake back in the basket and ran away. + +Tom and Sam ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw Sam's finger and took him to the doctor. The doctor said the snake was not poisonous, but Sam needed a bandage and some medicine. He also said, "You should never touch a snake, even if someone says it is friendly. Snakes are wild animals and they can be dangerous. You should always be careful and listen to your gut." + +Tom and Sam learned a lesson that day. They learned that some people are not honest and that some animals are not safe. They learned to trust their feelings and to say no when they are not sure. They also learned to be kind and help each other. They hugged and said, "We are still friends, and we will always stick together." +Lily and Ben like to play with their ball. It is big and red and round. They can kick it and throw it and roll it. Sometimes they make a game with the ball. They try to keep the ball in a circle on the grass. They draw the circle with a stick. The circle is not too big and not too small. + +One day, they play the game with their ball and the circle. Lily kicks the ball to Ben. Ben catches the ball and throws it back to Lily. They are happy and laugh. But then a dog comes. The dog is black and white and has a long tail. The dog sees the ball and wants to play too. The dog runs to the ball and grabs it with his mouth. He runs away with the ball. + +"Hey, that is our ball!" Lily shouts. "Give it back, dog!" + +Ben runs after the dog. He tries to get the ball from the dog. But the dog is fast and smart. He runs around the circle and inside the circle and outside the circle. He makes Ben run in crazy ways. Ben gets tired and dizzy. + +"Stop, dog, stop!" Ben says. "You are making me crazy!" + +Lily watches Ben and the dog. She thinks of a plan. She picks up a stick and waves it. She makes a noise like a bone. The dog hears the noise and sees the stick. He thinks it is a bone. He likes bones. He drops the ball and runs to the stick. Lily throws the stick far away. The dog runs after the stick. + +Lily and Ben get the ball. They are happy and hug. They put the ball in the circle. They play the game again. They are careful and watch for the dog. But the dog does not come back. He is busy with the stick. He thinks it is a bone. He likes bones. He is happy too. +Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a big worm and a shiny beetle. They put them in a jar and gave them some leaves. + +"Look, they are friends!" Lily said. "They are happy in their new home." + +Sam nodded. He wanted to see more bugs. He saw a hole under the fence. He crawled towards it and tried to peek inside. + +"Sam, what are you doing?" Lily asked. She followed him and saw the hole. "That looks scary. Maybe there are bad things in there." + +Sam shook his head. He was curious. He stretched his arm and reached for the hole. He felt something soft and furry. He pulled it out. It was a filthy old sock. + +"Yuck!" Sam and Lily said together. They dropped the sock and ran away. They heard a loud bark from the other side of the fence. It was a big dog. It was angry that someone took its sock. + +"Help!" Sam and Lily cried. They ran to the house and slammed the door. They hugged each other and breathed hard. They were safe. + +"Let's not go near the hole again," Sam said. + +"Let's not play with filthy things either," Lily said. + +They agreed. They washed their hands and went to check on their bug friends. They were still happy in their jar. Sam and Lily smiled. They liked to play in the garden, but they also liked to be safe. +Ben likes to play with his whistle. He blows it loud and makes a funny sound. He runs around the yard and chases his dog, Max. Max likes to play with Ben too. He barks and wags his tail. + +One day, Ben sees a big ball in the grass. He picks it up and throws it far. He wants Max to catch it and bring it back. He blows his whistle and calls Max. But Max does not run after the ball. He runs after the whistle. He jumps and bites it. He takes it from Ben's mouth. + +Ben is sad. He wants his whistle back. He tries to get it from Max, but Max runs away. He thinks it is a game. Ben cries and says, "No, Max, no! Give me my whistle!" + +Mom hears Ben crying. She comes out and sees what is wrong. She sees Max with the whistle. She says, "Bad dog, Max! Drop the whistle!" She takes the whistle from Max and gives it to Ben. She says, "Sorry, Ben. Max did not know. He thought it was a toy. He likes you and wants to play with you." + +Ben is glad. He hugs his mom and says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." He hugs Max and says, "I love you too, Max. But please do not take my whistle again." He blows his whistle and smiles. He throws the ball and says, "Come on, Max. Let's play fetch!" Max barks and runs after the ball. He brings it back to Ben. They have fun together. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They were very happy and excited. + +Then they came to the ostrich pen. Ostriches are big birds with long necks and legs. They cannot fly, but they can run very fast. Tom and Lily wanted to see them closer, so they climbed on the fence. + +"Look, mom, look!" Tom shouted. "The ostriches are so funny!" + +But mom was not happy. She told them to get down from the fence. She said it was dangerous and rude. + +"Ostriches do not like people who bother them," she said. "They might pinch you with their beaks. And their feathers are disgusting. They are dirty and smelly." + +Tom and Lily did not listen to mom. They thought mom was silly. They wanted to touch the ostriches. They reached out their hands. + +But the ostriches did not like that. They were angry and scared. They pinched Tom and Lily with their beaks. They pinched them hard. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom and Lily cried. "The ostriches are mean! They hurt us!" + +Mom ran to them and helped them down from the fence. She hugged them and checked their hands. They had red marks from the pinches. + +"I told you so," mom said. "You should not tease the ostriches. They are not toys. They are living creatures. You should respect them and leave them alone." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They said sorry to mom and to the ostriches. They learned their lesson. They never climbed on the fence again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to rock on the swing and sing songs. They saw a big orange on the tree. They wanted to eat it. + +"Let's get the orange!" Tom said. "I can climb the tree." + +"No, it's too high!" Lily said. "You might fall and hurt yourself." + +Tom did not listen. He climbed the tree and reached for the orange. But the orange was not an orange. It was a hornet's nest. The hornets were angry. They buzzed and stung Tom. Tom was frightened. He screamed and fell from the tree. + +Lily ran to Tom. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" + +Tom was crying. He had many red spots on his skin. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I should have listened to you. The orange was not an orange. It was a bad thing." + +Lily said, "It's okay, Tom. Let's go to Mom. She will make you feel better." + +They went to Mom. Mom put some cream on Tom's spots and gave him a hug. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. The spots will go away soon. Next time, be careful and listen to Lily. She is a good sister." + +Tom said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. And I love you, Lily. You are a good sister." + +Lily said, "I love you, too, Tom. You are a good brother. And I'm sorry about the orange. Maybe we can find a real one later." + +They smiled and hugged. They learned a lesson. They were happy. +Lily was very sleepy. She had played a lot with her toys and her dog, Max. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She wanted to go to bed, but she also wanted to drink some milk. + +"Mama, can I have some milk, please?" she asked. + +"Of course, my sweetie. Come here, I have a cup for you." Mama said. She poured some warm milk into a pink cup and gave it to Lily. Lily smiled and took a sip. The milk was yummy and made her feel cozy. + +"Mama, can you read me a story?" she asked. + +"Sure, what story do you want to hear?" Mama said. + +Lily thought for a moment. She had many books, but she liked one the best. It was about a brave lion who was the king of the jungle. He was strong and kind and dependable. He always helped his friends and protected them from danger. + +"I want to hear the lion story, Mama." she said. + +"Okay, let's go to your room and I'll read it to you." Mama said. She took Lily's hand and they walked to her room. Max followed them, wagging his tail. He liked the lion story too. + +Mama tucked Lily in her bed and opened the book. She read the story in a soft voice, while Lily and Max listened. Lily imagined she was in the jungle with the lion and his friends. She felt happy and safe. She yawned again and closed her eyes. Mama kissed her forehead and whispered, "Good night, my sweetie. I love you." + +Lily smiled and whispered back, "I love you too, Mama. And Max." She hugged her teddy bear and fell asleep. Max curled up on the floor and snored. Mama turned off the light and left the room. She was proud of her sleepy, brave and dependable girl. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play sport. They liked to run, jump, kick and throw. They had fun together and helped each other. + +One day, they joined a sport team at school. They were excited to play with other kids. But some kids were mean to them. They said Lily and Ben were not good at sport. They said they were slow, weak and silly. They laughed at them and made them feel bad. + +Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They wanted to cry. They did not want to play sport anymore. They wanted to go home. + +But then, their coach saw them. He was a kind and strong man. He came to them and said, "Lily and Ben, do not listen to those mean kids. They are wrong. You are good at sport. You are fast, strong and smart. You have fun and help each other. That is what sport is about. You are a great team. I am proud of you." + +Lily and Ben felt happy and brave. They thanked their coach. They wiped their tears and smiled. They decided to play sport again. They did not care what the mean kids said. They had each other and their coach. They played hard and had fun. They showed everyone that they were good at sport. + +The moral of the story is: Do not let others make you feel bad about yourself. You have your own talents and strengths. You have friends and supporters who care about you. You can do anything if you try and have fun. +Lily was a girl who liked to be tidy. She always put her toys away, brushed her teeth, and wore clean clothes. She had a friend named Ben who was not so tidy. He left his toys everywhere, forgot to brush his teeth, and wore dirty clothes. + +One day, Lily invited Ben to play at her house. She showed him her room, where she had a lot of toys.

"The crane can bite so hard!" + +"Yes, it can!" Tim said. "But I can bite harder!" + +He opened his mouth and bit Lily's arm. Lily screamed. + +"Ow, Tim! That hurts!" Lily said. "Why did you bite me?" + +Tim laughed. "I was just joking, Lily!" he said. "I wanted to see if you can bite like the crane." + +Lily was angry. She pushed Tim away. "That's not funny, Tim!" she said.

He did not want to lose his friend. + +He ran after Lily and said, "Lily, wait! I'm sorry! I won't bite you again! Please, be my friend!" + +Lily stopped and looked at Tim. She saw that he was sad. + +She said, "OK, Tim. I forgive you. But don't bite me again. Biting is not nice. Biting is for cranes, not for kids." + +Tim nodded. He said, "You are right, Lily. Biting is for cranes, not for kids. I'm sorry. Can we play again?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, we can play again. But let's play something else. Let's play with the swings. The swings are fun and safe." + +They hugged and went to the swings. They forgot about the crane and the bite. They were happy again. They were good friends. +Anna loved to ride her bike.

I am taking it to the museum. Do you like paintings?" + +Anna nodded. She said, "I do. I want to see it. Can I see it?" + +The man looked around and said, "Well, okay. But only for a minute. And be very careful. It is very fragile and very expensive. If you break it, I will be in big trouble." + +He opened the box and showed Anna the painting. It was a picture of a lady with a long dress and a big hat. She had a sad face and a pearl necklace. Anna thought it was pretty, but also boring. She said, "Why is she so sad?" + +The man said, "I don't know. Maybe she lost someone she loved. Or maybe she was unhappy with her life. This painting is very old. It was made hundreds of years ago. It is a masterpiece. Do you know what that means?" + +Anna shook her head. She said, "No. What does it mean?" + +The man said, "It means it is very special and very rare.

It was very old and very valuable. But I like my bike better. It is more fun and more colorful." + +She rode her bike away. She did not see the puddle of oil on the road. She did not see the car that was coming fast. She did not hear the horn or the brakes or the crash. She did not feel the pain or the blood or the end. She only saw the colors of the houses and the flowers and the sky. And then she saw nothing. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books to have fun with. But they wanted to do something different. They looked around and saw the fireplace. It was big and dark and had a metal door. + +"Let's go and see what is inside the fireplace," Tom said. He was curious and brave. He opened the metal door and saw some wood and ashes. He reached out his hand to touch them. + +"No, Tom, don't do that!" Lily said. She was smart and careful. She knew that the fireplace could be hot and hurt them. She grabbed Tom's hand and pulled him back. "The fireplace is not a toy. It is for making fire when it is cold. Fire is hot and can burn you. We should stay away from it." + +Tom felt sorry and scared. He did not know that the fireplace was dangerous. He hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily, for saving me. You are a good sister. You lead me away from the fireplace and keep me safe." + +Lily smiled and hugged Tom back. She said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good brother. You listen to me and learn from me.

They want their jar back. They chase the big boy. + +The big boy sees a pond. He thinks it is funny to throw the jar in the water. He laughs. He does not see the ducks. The ducks are hungry. They think the jar is food. They swim to the jar and peck at it. + +Tim and Liz catch up with the big boy. They see the jar in the pond. They see the ducks. They are scared. They shout, "Stop, ducks! That is not food! That is our jar!" + +The big boy is scared too. He says, "Sorry, sorry, I did not know. Please, help me get the jar back!" + +Tim and Liz are brave. They find a stick. They use the stick to reach the jar. They pull the jar out of the water. They check the bugs and rocks. They are wet, but they are okay. + +The big boy says, "Thank you, thank you. I am sorry. I was bad. Can we be friends?" + +Tim and Liz think. They say, "Okay, we can be friends. But you have to be nice. And you have to share. And you have to say sorry to the ducks." + +The big boy nods. He says, "Okay, okay. I will be nice. And I will share. And I will say sorry to the ducks." + +They all go to the ducks. They say, "Sorry, ducks. We did not mean to make you angry.

It lives in the water. It is very big and blue." + +Tom says, "You are right, Mia. You answered the question well. You are very clever. How do you know that?" + +Mia says, "I know that because I read a book. The book has pictures and words. It tells me about animals. I like to read books. They make me clever." + +Tom says, "I like to read books too. They are fun and interesting. Can you show me your book? Maybe we can learn more things together." + +Mia says, "Yes, I can show you my book. It is in my room. Come with me. We can read and play more games." + +Tom and Mia go to Mia's room. They look at the book. They learn more things. They are happy and clever. They are good friends. +Ben and Lily were playing with their marbles in the garden.

It is so sweet and pink," Lily said. + +The ice cream man nodded and took out two cones from his freezer. He scooped some chocolate ice cream for Ben and some strawberry ice cream for Lily. He handed them their cones and said, "Here you go. Enjoy your ice cream. It is very tasty." + +"Thank you, ice cream man. You are very nice. You deliver the best ice cream ever," Ben and Lily said. + +They paid him with some coins and waved goodbye. They went back to the garden and ate their ice cream. They licked their cones and smiled. They shared their ice cream with their marbles. They thought their marbles would like some ice cream too. They had a very happy day. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big picture of a leopard on a sign. The leopard had thick fur and spots. Lily liked the leopard. She wanted to be like it. + +"I want to try to run like a leopard," she said to Tom. "Do you want to try with me?" + +Tom nodded. He liked to run. They ran to the grass and pretended to be leopards. They made roaring sounds and chased each other. + +But then they saw a dog. The dog was big and loud. It barked at them. Lily and Tom were scared. They stopped running and hid behind a tree. + +"Go away, dog!" Lily shouted. "We are leopards, not cats!" + +The dog did not listen. It came closer to the tree. Lily and Tom held each other. They wished they had a real leopard to help them. + +But then they heard a voice. It was their mom. She came to the park to pick them up. + +"Lily, Tom, where are you?" she called. "It's time to go home." + +Lily and Tom ran to their mom. They hugged her. They were happy to see her. + +"Mom, we were trying to be leopards," Lily said. "But a dog chased us. It was scary." + +Mom smiled. She petted the dog. The dog wagged its tail. It was friendly. + +"Don't worry, my little leopards," she said. "The dog just wanted to play with you. He likes leopards too. Maybe you can be friends next time." + +Lily and Tom looked at the dog. They saw that he had spots too. They smiled. Maybe they could be friends. They said goodbye to the dog and went home with mom. They still liked to be leopards, but they also liked to be themselves. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they find a wallet on the floor. It is brown and has a zipper. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily says. "It is a wallet. Maybe it has money inside." + +She picks up the wallet and tries to open it. But the zipper is tough. She pulls hard, but it does not move. + +"Let me try!" Ben says. He wants the wallet too. He grabs it from Lily and pulls the other way. + +"Hey, stop it!" Lily says. "It is mine! I found it first!" + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. "I can open it!" + +They pull and pull, but the zipper is too tough. They start to yell and cry. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the wallet. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. "Why are you fighting?" + +They both tell her that they want the wallet. They both say that they found it first. + +Mom shakes her head. She takes the wallet from them and looks at it. + +"This is not your wallet," she says. "This is Dad's wallet. He must have dropped it by mistake. It has his cards and his keys inside. You cannot play with it. It is not a toy." + +She opens the zipper and shows them. They see the cards and the keys. They feel sorry. + +"Sorry, Mom," they say. "We did not know. We thought it was a fun wallet." + +Mom smiles. She hugs them and says, "It is okay. I know you were curious. But you should not fight over things. You should share and be nice to each other. You are twins. You are always together. You should not separate." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say sorry to each other and hug too. They do not want to separate. They want to play together. + +Mom gives them the wallet and says, "Here, you can give this back to Dad when he comes home. He will be happy to see it. And he will be happy to see you too." + +They take the wallet and say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you. We love you." + +They run to their room and wait for Dad. They are happy to be together. +Ben and Lily liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. But they both wanted the same car: the big red one with a loud horn. They always fought over who could be the driver of the red car. + +One day, their mom said, "You need to share the red car. You can take turns being the driver. Or you can play together and pretend you are going to the park or the store." + +Ben and Lily did not like this idea. They both wanted to be the driver all the time. They did not want to share. They said, "No, it's mine!" and "No, it's mine!" and pulled the red car from each other. + +Their mom was impatient. She said, "If you can't share the red car, then no one can play with it. I will put it away until you learn to share." She took the red car and put it on a high shelf. Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They cried and stomped their feet. + +They looked at their other cars. They were not as big or as red or as loud as the red car. They missed the red car. They wished they could play with it again. They looked at each other. They felt sorry for being mean and selfish. They said, "I'm sorry" and "I'm sorry" and hugged each other. + +They decided to share the other cars. They took turns being the driver. They played together and pretended they were going to the park or the store. They had fun and laughed. Their mom was happy. She said, "You are very good at sharing. I'm proud of you. You can have the red car back now." She took the red car from the shelf and gave it to them. Ben and Lily were happy. They thanked their mom and shared the red car. They were the best drivers in the world. +Anna liked to talk a lot. She talked to her mom, her dad, her brother, her friends, and even her toys. She talked when she ate, when she played, when she read, and when she slept. She talked so much that sometimes she did not listen to others. + +One day, Anna went to school with her notebook. She wanted to show her teacher and her classmates her notebook. It had many pictures and words that she drew and wrote. She was very proud of her notebook. But when she got to school, she did not wait for her turn to talk. She talked over everyone and interrupted them. She did not care what they had to say. She only wanted to talk about her notebook. + +The teacher and the classmates did not like that. They felt sad and angry. They did not want to listen to Anna or see her notebook. They ignored her and talked to each other. Anna felt lonely and confused. She did not understand why they did not like her or her notebook. + +Then, a boy named Ben came to her. He was very kind and quiet. He did not talk much, but he listened well. He asked Anna if he could see her notebook. Anna was happy and showed him her notebook. He looked at it with interest and smiled. He said, "Your notebook is very nice. You are very good at drawing and writing. Can you tell me more about it?" + +Anna was surprised and pleased. She started to talk to Ben about her notebook. She told him what each picture and word meant. She asked him about his notebook too. He showed her his notebook. It had many numbers and shapes that he liked. They talked and listened to each other. They became friends. + +Anna learned a lesson that day. She learned that talking is good, but listening is also good. She learned that if she wants others to listen to her, she has to listen to them too. She learned that talking and listening can make friends. She was happy and grateful to Ben. She said, "Thank you for being my friend. You are very smart and nice. I like to talk and listen to you." Ben said, "You are welcome. You are very creative and fun. I like to talk and listen to you too." They hugged and smiled. They shared their notebooks and their stories. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the attic. They liked to find old things and make up stories about them. They saw a big box with a lock on it. They wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +"Maybe there are toys or books or clothes in there," Anna said. + +"Or maybe there are secrets or treasures or magic in there," Ben said. + +They tried to pull the lock, but it was too hard. They looked around for something to break it. They found a candle on a shelf. It was long and thin and had a metal tip. + +"Maybe we can use this to open the lock," Ben said. He took the candle and tried to push the metal tip into the lock. He twisted and turned it, but nothing happened. + +"Let me try," Anna said. She took the candle from Ben and did the same thing. She pushed and pulled and twisted and turned, but nothing happened. + +"Maybe we are doing it wrong," Ben said. "Maybe we have to reverse the candle and use the other end." + +He took the candle from Anna and reversed it. He put the soft end into the lock and pushed hard. The candle broke and the soft end got stuck in the lock. + +"Oh no!" Anna said. "Now we can't open the box at all!" + +They heard footsteps on the stairs. It was their mom. She came into the attic and saw them with the broken candle and the locked box. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. + +"We were trying to open the box," Ben said. + +"Why?" she asked. + +"Because we wanted to see what was inside," Anna said. + +She smiled and shook her head. She took a key from her pocket and unlocked the box. She opened it and showed them what was inside. + +"It's a photo album," she said. "It has pictures of our family from a long time ago. This box was hidden in the attic by your grandma. She wanted to keep these memories safe. Do you want to see them?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They forgot about the candle and the lock. They sat down with their mom and looked at the photo album. They saw pictures of their grandma and grandpa, their mom and dad, and themselves when they were babies. They asked their mom questions and listened to her stories. They learned about their family and their past. They felt happy and curious and loved. +Lily and Max are best friends. They like to play outside with Max's dog, Spot. Spot is big and furry and friendly. He likes to run and jump and lick Lily and Max's faces. + +One day, Lily and Max find a new park to play in. It has a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily and Max are very happy. They run to the slide and take turns going down. Spot follows them and barks happily. + +But then, they see a mean boy coming. He has a stick in his hand and a mean look on his face. He sees Spot and says, "What a stupid dog! I'm going to hit him with my stick!" + +Lily and Max are scared. They love Spot and don't want him to get hurt. They run to Spot and hug him. They say, "No, don't hurt Spot! He is a good dog! He is our friend!" + +The mean boy laughs and says, "Get out of my way, you babies! I can do whatever I want!" + +He raises his stick and swings it at Spot. But Spot is fast and smart. He dodges the stick and bites the mean boy's hand. The mean boy drops the stick and screams. He runs away, crying. + +Lily and Max are proud of Spot. They say, "Good boy, Spot! You protected us! You are brave and honest!" + +They put Spot's leash on him and walk back home. They tell their parents what happened. Their parents are glad that Spot saved them from the mean boy. They give Spot a treat and a hug. They say, "Spot, you are a hero! We love you!" +Tom and Jen were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make loud noises and pretend they were cars and planes. Their mom was in the kitchen, making lunch for them. + +"Tom, look at this!" Jen said, holding up a napkin. She had drawn a face on it with a marker. "It is a scary monster!" + +Tom laughed and took the napkin from Jen. He put it over his face and said, "Boo! I am the scary monster! I will eat you!" + +Jen screamed and ran away. Tom chased her around the couch and the table. They had fun scaring each other. + +But their mom did not like their game. She heard them making a lot of noise and came to the living room. She saw the napkin on Tom's face and the marker on the floor. + +"Tom! Jen! What are you doing?" she asked, angry. "You made a mess with the napkin and the marker! And you are too loud! You need to stop playing and go to your rooms!" + +Tom and Jen stopped and looked at their mom. They felt bad. They did not mean to make her angry. They just wanted to have fun. + +"But mom, we were just playing!" Tom said, taking off the napkin. + +"It is not a good way to play!" their mom said. "You wasted the napkin and the marker! And you scared each other! That is not nice! You need to learn to play nicely and quietly! Now go to your rooms and stay there until I call you for lunch!" + +Tom and Jen did not want to go to their rooms. They wanted to keep playing. But they knew their mom was serious. They said sorry and went to their rooms. They were sad and bored. They wished they had not played with the napkin and the marker. They wished they had not made their mom angry. They wished they had a better game. +Sara liked to feed the birds in the garden. She had a small bag of seeds that she would scatter on the grass. She liked to watch the birds come and eat. She saw red birds, blue birds, and yellow birds. They made happy noises. + +One day, Sara wanted to feed the birds, but she could not find her bag of seeds. She looked in her room, in the kitchen, and in the living room. She asked her mom and dad, but they did not know. She felt sad. + +Then she remembered that sometimes she played in the attic. The attic was a big space under the roof. It had many old things that Sara liked to look at. Maybe she left her bag of seeds there. She went to the attic and opened the door. + +The attic was dark and cold. Sara felt scared. She saw a big spider on the wall. She heard a loud noise. She turned around and saw a big rat. The rat had her bag of seeds in its mouth. It looked at Sara with harsh eyes. It did not want to share. + +Sara ran out of the attic and closed the door. She did not want to feed the birds anymore. She wanted to hug her mom and dad. They were warm and kind. They gave her a new bag of seeds and a cookie. They told her not to go to the attic alone. Sara felt better. She said sorry to the birds and went to feed them. They made happy noises. +Tommy liked to sing songs. He had a toy microphone that he used to sing with. He sang songs from his favorite shows and books. He sang loud and happy. + +One day, he went to his friend Lily's house. Lily also liked to sing songs. She had a real microphone that she got for her birthday. She showed it to Tommy and said, "Do you want to try it? It is very fun. You can hear your voice on the speaker." + +Tommy was curious. He wanted to try the real microphone. He took it from Lily and said, "Thank you. I will sing a song for you." He turned on the microphone and started to sing. But he did not know how to use it. He held it too close to his mouth. He sang too loud. He made a lot of noise. + +Lily and her mom heard the noise. They came to the room and saw Tommy with the microphone. They were not happy. Lily said, "Tommy, you are not using the microphone right. You are hurting my ears. You have to hold it far from your mouth. You have to sing softly. You have to be careful with it. It is not a toy. It is mine." + +Tommy felt bad. He did not mean to make noise. He did not mean to hurt Lily's ears. He did not mean to be rude with her microphone. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I did not know how to use it. I was curious. I wanted to try it. I like your microphone. It is very cool. But I like my toy microphone too. It is good for me. I will give you back your microphone. I will use my toy microphone. I will sing with you. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "It is okay, Tommy. I forgive you. I am sorry I was angry. I should have taught you how to use it. I like your toy microphone too. It is good for you. You can keep it. We can sing with our microphones. We can have fun. We are still friends." + +Tommy and Lily hugged. They turned on their microphones and sang songs together. They sang loud and happy. But they also sang far and softly. They learned how to use microphones. They learned how to share. They learned how to be friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the living room. They have many toys and books. But they do not like the couch. The couch is ugly. It is old and brown and has holes. Mama says they cannot sit on the couch. She says it is dirty and broken. + +One day, Mama goes to the store. She tells Lily and Ben to be good and not touch the couch. She says she will be back soon. Lily and Ben say yes, Mama. But when Mama leaves, they look at the couch. They wonder what is inside the holes. They think maybe there are treasures or secrets. + +Lily says, "Let's play on the couch. Maybe we can find something fun." Ben says, "No, Lily. Mama said no. We will get in trouble." Lily says, "Don't be scared, Ben. Mama will not know. Come on, it will be fun." Ben says, "Okay, Lily. But only for a little bit." + +They climb on the couch. They poke their fingers in the holes. They pull out some stuffing and some buttons. They laugh and throw them in the air. They pretend they are snowflakes and stars. They do not hear the door open. They do not hear Mama come in. They do not hear Mama scream. + +Mama sees Lily and Ben on the couch. She sees the stuffing and the buttons on the floor. She sees the holes in the couch. She is very angry. She yells at Lily and Ben. She says they are bad and naughty. She says they have ruined the couch. She says they have to go to their room. She says they cannot play or read or watch TV. She says they have to stay there until Daddy comes home. + +Lily and Ben cry. They say they are sorry. They say they did not mean to hurt the couch. They say they just wanted to have fun. But Mama does not listen. She takes them to their room. She shuts the door. She leaves them alone. + +Lily and Ben hug each other. They are sad and scared. They wish they had listened to Mama. They wish they had not played on the couch. They wish they had not made Mama mad. They wish they could go back and do it over. But they cannot. They have to stay in their room. They have to wait for Daddy. They do not know what Daddy will do. They do not know what will happen next. They do not know if Mama will ever love them again. +Tom and Anna were on the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look at the sea. The sea was big and blue and made funny noises. + +"Mom, what is the sea?" Tom asked. + +"The sea is a lot of water that covers most of the earth," Mom said. "It has many fish and plants and other things living in it." + +"Can we go in the sea?" Anna asked. + +"Not today, sweetie. The sea is too cold and too deep for us. But we can watch it and enjoy it from here," Dad said. + +Tom and Anna nodded. They wondered what the sea was like inside. They wondered if the fish and plants were friendly or scary. They wondered if there were any treasures or secrets hidden in the sea. + +They decided to make a sandcastle near the sea. They used buckets and shovels and shells and stones. They worked hard and had fun. They made a perfect sandcastle with towers and walls and a flag. + +"Look, Mom and Dad, we made a perfect sandcastle!"

The dog licked her hand and made a happy sound. + +"Can I pet him too?" Ben asked. He moved closer to the dog. The dog sniffed him and licked his face. Ben giggled and rubbed the dog's ear. + +The dog's owner came over. He was a man with a hat and a beard. He smiled and said, "Hi, kids. This is Bruno. He likes to play with you." + +"Hi, mister. Bruno is nice. Can we play with him some more?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, you can. But be careful, he is very smelly. He rolled in some mud and garbage. He needs a bath." The man said. + +Anna and Ben smelled the dog. He was very smelly. They wrinkled their noses and said, "Eww, Bruno. You are stinky." + +The man laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will take him home and wash him. Then he will be clean and fresh. Do you want to come with me and help me?" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They liked Bruno, but they did not like his smell. They shook their heads and said, "No, thank you. We have to go home soon. Our mom will be here." + +"OK, then. Maybe next time. Say bye to Bruno." The man said. + +Anna and Ben hugged the dog and said, "Bye, Bruno. We had fun with you. See you later." + +The dog barked and wagged his tail. He jumped on the man's shoulder and licked his ear. The man said, "Ouch, Bruno. You are too heavy. Get down." + +Anna and Ben waved and ran to their mom. She was waiting for them at the gate. She hugged them and said, "Did you have a good time?" + +"Yes, mom. We played with a dog. His name was Bruno. He was friendly, but very smelly." Anna said. + +"We petted him and he licked us. He was funny, but he needed a bath." Ben said. + +"Really? That sounds like an adventure.

They also told her about his owner, his hat and his beard. + +Mom listened and smiled. She said, "You have a good memory. I'm proud of you. Now let's go home and wash your hands. You don't want to be smelly like Bruno, do you?" + +Anna and Ben shook their heads and said, "No, mom. We want to be clean and fresh." + +They got in the car and drove home. They still remembered Bruno and hoped to see him again. They wondered if he was clean and fresh now. They hoped he was happy. +Tim and Lily are playing in the park with their ball. They like to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they miss the ball and it rolls away. Then they run after it and laugh. + +One day, they hear a loud noise. It sounds like a big bee. They look around and see a motorcycle. It is shiny and red. A man is riding it. He has a helmet on his head and a jacket on his body. He also has a hairy face.

They hugged their mom and asked why the film was so sad. + +Mom said, "Sometimes, films show sad things to make us think and feel. The film wants to teach us to be kind and careful with animals. They are our friends and they need our love and protection. The film is not real, but the message is. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They wiped their tears and looked at the screen again. They saw that the dog was not dead. He was just sleeping. A nice man came and took the dog and the cat to a vet.

It makes them jump and shiver. They hug each other and say, "What do we do?" + +Ben says, "Let's rub our eyes and wish the thunder away." He rubs his eyes hard and says, "I wish, I wish, I wish." Anna does the same. But the thunder does not go away. It gets louder and louder. They hear rain and wind outside. + +Anna says, "Let's sing a song. Maybe that will make us feel better."

They run to their room. They see the sheet and the chairs on the floor. They see Anna and Ben under the bed. They are wet and cold. They are still crying and screaming. + +Mom and dad lift them up and hug them. They say, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. We are here. You are safe. The thunder can't hurt you. It's just a noise. It will go away soon. We love you. You are brave." + +Anna and Ben stop crying and screaming. They feel warm and cozy. They say, "We love you too. You are kind. You are strong." + +Mom and dad take them to the couch. They wrap them in a blanket. They give them hot chocolate and cookies. They read them a story. They say, "You did a good thing. You tried to make yourself feel better. You rubbed your eyes, you sang a song. But sometimes, you need help. You need to ask for help. You need to listen to help. That's okay. That's smart. That's how you grow." + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They say, "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." + +They smile and cuddle. They feel safe and happy. They watch the rain and the thunder.

"But I am fine. Are you wet, Ben?" + +"A little bit," Ben said. "But I am fine too. Do you like the rain, Lily?" + +"I like the rain sometimes," Lily said. "But I like the sun more. The sun is warm and bright and makes the flowers grow. Do you like the sun, Ben?" + +"I like the sun too," Ben said. "But I also like the rain. The rain makes the grass green and the puddles splash. And the rain makes the rainbow. Look, Lily, there is a rainbow!" + +Ben and Lily looked up and saw the rainbow. It had many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. It was very pretty. Ben and Lily smiled and clapped. + +"The rainbow is a gift from the rain," Lily said. + +"Yes, it is," Ben said. "And the rain is a gift from the sky." + +Ben and Lily hugged and thanked the sky and the rain and the rainbow. Then they lay under the tree and watched the rain until it stopped. +Mark was playing with his toy cars in the garden. He liked to make them go fast and make loud noises.

You are filthy. Come inside and have a bath." + +Mark did not want to stop. He said, "No, Mommy. I want to play. I like my cars. They are fun." + +His mother said, "Mark, you have to stop. You cannot play with your cars all day. You have to be clean and tidy. Come on, it is time for a bath." + +Mark still did not want to stop. He said, "No, Mommy. I do not like baths. They are boring. I want to stay here." + +His mother said, "Mark, I am counting to three. If you do not stop and come inside, you will have no dessert tonight. One, two, three." + +Mark knew his mother was serious. He did not want to miss dessert. He loved dessert. He said, "Okay, Mommy. I will stop. I will come inside. But can I bring my cars?" + +His mother said, "Yes, you can bring your cars. But you have to wash them too. They are filthy as well." + +Mark said, "Okay, Mommy. I will wash them. But can I play with them again later?" + +His mother said, "Yes, you can play with them again later. But only after you have a bath and eat your dinner. And only if you keep them clean." + +Mark said, "Okay, Mommy. I will do that. Thank you, Mommy." + +He picked up his cars and followed his mother inside. He was a good boy. He stopped playing when his mother asked him to. He had a bath and washed his cars. He ate his dinner and had dessert. He played with his cars again, but he kept them clean. He was happy. +Lily and Ben are going to a hotel with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They want to see the big pool and the soft beds. They pack their toys and clothes in a bag. + +They get in the car and drive for a long time. They see many trees and houses and cars. They sing songs and play games. They ask Mom and Dad, "Are we there yet?" many times. + +They finally get to the hotel. It is very big and shiny. They go inside and see a nice lady at a desk. She gives Mom and Dad a key. They take the elevator to their room. It is on the tenth floor. + +They open the door and see a big bed, a small bed, a TV, a table, and a bathroom. Lily and Ben run to the small bed and jump on it. They laugh and bounce. They throw their toys and clothes on the floor. They make a big mess. + +Mom and Dad are not happy. They say, "Lily and Ben, stop jumping on the bed. You are making a lot of noise. And look at this mess. You have to pick up your things and put them in the closet. We have to go to the pool soon." + +Lily and Ben stop jumping. They look at the mess. They do not want to pick up their things. They want to play more. They say, "But Mom, but Dad, we are having fun. We do not want to go to the pool. We want to stay here." + +Mom and Dad shake their heads. They say, "Lily and Ben, you have to listen to us. We are in a hotel. We have to be nice and tidy. We have to share this room with other people. We have to follow the rules. And the pool is very fun too. You will like it. Come on, let's go." + +Lily and Ben sigh. They do not like the rules. But they love Mom and Dad. They want to make them happy. They pick up their things and put them in the closet. They say, "OK, Mom, OK, Dad, we are sorry. We will be nice and tidy. We will go to the pool with you." + +Mom and Dad smile. They say, "Thank you, Lily, thank you, Ben. You are good kids. We love you. Now let's go to the pool and have some fun." They take their swimsuits and towels and leave the room. They lock the door and go to the elevator. + +Lily and Ben hold Mom and Dad's hands. They are still a little sad. But they are also curious. They wonder what the pool looks like. They hope it is big and warm and has slides and toys. They say, "Maybe the pool is fun too. Maybe we will like it." + +Mom and Dad nod. They say, "Yes, the pool is fun too. You will like it. And maybe later we can watch TV and eat ice cream in the room. But only if you are nice and tidy. OK?" + +Lily and Ben say, "OK." They smile. They are going to have a good time at the hotel. They are a happy family. +Lily loved to swing on the big swing in the park. She felt like a dancer in the air, going up and down, back and forth. She liked to wear her pink dress and her shiny shoes when she swung. She felt pretty and happy. + +One day, she saw a boy on the swing next to her. He wore a dirty shirt and pants, and his shoes had holes in them. He looked sad and bored. Lily wanted to talk to him, but she was afraid he would make fun of her dress and shoes. + +"Hi, I'm Lily," she said at last. "Do you like to swing?" + +The boy looked at her and nodded. "I'm Ben," he said. "Swinging is fun, but I don't have any nice clothes to wear. My mom says we don't have enough money for new clothes. She says we have to be happy with what we have." + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She thought about her dress and shoes, and how much she liked them. But she also thought about how much she liked to swing, and how much Ben liked to swing too. She decided to do something nice for him. + +"Ben, do you want to try my shoes?" she asked. "They are shiny and make you swing faster. You can wear them for a while, and I can wear your shoes. They look comfy and warm." + +Ben smiled and agreed. He took off his shoes and put on Lily's shoes. He felt a bit silly, but he also felt happy. He swung faster and higher, and laughed with Lily. Lily put on Ben's shoes and swung with him. She felt a bit dirty, but she also felt happy. She laughed with Ben. + +They swung for a long time, and then they switched back their shoes. They thanked each other and hugged. They became friends and played together in the park. They learned that it doesn't matter what you wear, as long as you have fun and share with others. They felt like dancers in the air, going up and down, back and forth. +Sara and Ben liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They also had a big gear that they could put on the floor and make their cars go around it. The gear had many teeth that made a funny noise when the cars touched them. + +One day, Sara and Ben were playing with their cars and the gear. Sara had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They raced their cars on the gear and made them go faster and faster. Sara wanted to win, so she pushed her car harder and harder. Ben did the same. + +"Look, my car is faster than yours!" Sara said. + +"No, mine is faster!" Ben said. + +They both squeezed their cars with their hands and made them go even faster. But then, something bad happened. Sara's car hit one of the gear's teeth and broke. The car's wheel came off and flew away. Sara's car stopped and made a sad sound. + +"Oh no, my car is broken!" Sara cried. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. It was an accident." Ben said. + +He picked up Sara's car and tried to fix it. He put the wheel back on the car and squeezed it with his hand. But the wheel was still loose and fell off again. + +"It's no use, Ben. The car is broken for good." Sara said. + +She felt very sad and angry. She looked at Ben's car and had a bad idea. She grabbed Ben's car and squeezed it hard. She wanted to break it too. But Ben saw what she was doing and stopped her. + +"Hey, don't do that, Sara! That's not nice!" Ben said. + +He pulled his car away from Sara and held it close to him. He was scared that Sara would break his car too. + +"Sara, why did you do that? You can't break my car because your car is broken. That's not fair." Ben said. + +Sara realized that she was wrong. She felt sorry for what she did. She looked at Ben and said: + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was mad because my car is broken. But you didn't break it. It was the gear. And I shouldn't break your car. That's not nice. Can you forgive me?" Sara said. + +Ben looked at Sara and saw that she was sorry. He felt sorry for her too. He knew that she liked her car a lot. He said: + +"I forgive you, Sara. I know you were mad. But we can still play together. Maybe we can find another car for you. Or we can play with something else. Like the blocks or the dolls. What do you think?" Ben said. + +Sara smiled and nodded. She said: + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I think we can play with the blocks or the dolls. Or maybe we can find a new gear. One that doesn't break our cars." Sara said. + +They hugged and put their cars away. They decided to play with something else. They were happy again. They learned that breaking things is not nice. And that being nice is better. +Lily and Ben were playing in the sandbox. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They wanted to make a sandcastle. Lily filled the bucket with sand and Ben packed it down. Then they turned the bucket over and lifted it up. They had a nice sand tower. + +"Wow, it's so tall!" Lily said. + +"Let's make more!" Ben said. + +They made four more sand towers. They put them in a circle. They had a sandcastle. + +"Look, we did it!" Lily said. + +They were very happy. They clapped their hands. + +But then they heard a bark. It was Rex, their dog. Rex was very playful. He liked to run and jump. He saw the sandcastle. He thought it was a toy. He ran towards it. + +"Rex, no!" Lily and Ben shouted. + +But Rex did not listen. He was not obedient. He jumped on the sandcastle. He knocked down the sand towers. He made a big mess. + +Lily and Ben were very sad. They worked hard on their sandcastle. They did not like Rex's surprise. + +"Bad dog!" Lily said. + +"Go away!" Ben said. + +Rex wagged his tail. He did not understand. He thought they were playing. He licked their faces. + +Lily and Ben sighed. They loved Rex, but he was very naughty. They decided to make another sandcastle. But this time, they put the bucket on Rex's head. He could not see the sandcastle. He could not ruin it. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They had a new surprise for Rex. They hoped he would like it. +Anna liked to look at small things with her microscope. She had a book with pictures of bugs and flowers and rocks that she could see better with her microscope. She put a slide with a drop of water on the microscope and turned the knob to make it bigger. She saw tiny things swimming and wiggling in the water. She was happy and curious. + +But then her brother Ben came into the room. He was hungry and wanted a snack. He saw a bowl of chips on the table and grabbed some. He did not see the microscope or the slide. He stepped on the slide and broke it. The water and the tiny things spilled on the floor. + +Anna heard the crunch and saw what Ben did. She was angry and sad. She yelled at Ben and said he was bad and mean. She said he ruined her microscope and her slide and her tiny things. She cried and hugged her microscope. + +Ben felt sorry and scared. He did not mean to break the slide. He did not know Anna was looking at tiny things. He said he was sorry and tried to hug Anna. But Anna pushed him away and said she did not want to talk to him. + +Mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the broken slide, the spilled water, the microscope, the chips, and the crying Anna and the sorry Ben. She asked what happened and listened to both of them. She said she understood why Anna was angry and why Ben was sorry. She said they both made a mistake and they both needed to say sorry and forgive each other. She said she would help Anna clean up the mess and find a new slide. She said she would help Ben find a different snack. She said the chips were spicy and not good for him. She hugged them both and said she loved them. +Lily liked to bake with her mom. They made cookies and cakes and pies. Lily loved to smell the sweet things in the oven. Sometimes, she wanted to peek inside and see how they looked. + +"Can I peek, mom?" Lily asked one day, when they were making a popular chocolate cake for dad's birthday. + +"Not yet, Lily," mom said. "The cake needs more time. If you peek too soon, the cake will fall and be flat." + +Lily waited and waited. She played with her toys and read her books. But she still wanted to peek. She was curious and excited. + +When mom went to the bathroom, Lily saw her chance. She tiptoed to the oven and opened the door a little bit. She peeked inside and saw the cake. It was big and brown and fluffy. It looked yummy. + +But then, something bad happened. The cake made a hissing sound and started to shrink. It became small and hard and sad. Lily was scared and sorry. She closed the oven door and ran to her room. + +Mom came back and saw the oven. She knew what Lily had done. She was angry and disappointed. She went to Lily's room and knocked on the door. + +"Lily, did you peek at the cake?" mom asked. + +Lily nodded and cried. She knew she had made a mistake. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to see the cake. I didn't mean to ruin it," Lily said. + +Mom hugged Lily and wiped her tears. She was still mad, but she loved Lily. + +"I know, Lily. But you have to listen to me. Peeking at the oven is not good. It can spoil the cake and hurt you. Do you understand?" mom said. + +Lily nodded and said sorry again. She learned her lesson. + +Mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily. We can make another cake. But this time, no peeking. Deal?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Deal, mom. I love you." + +They went to the kitchen and started over. They made a new cake and decorated it with candles and sprinkles. They surprised dad and sang happy birthday. Dad loved the cake and thanked Lily and mom. Lily was happy and proud. She didn't peek anymore. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many nuts. They want to pick some nuts and eat them. + +"Look, Mia, nuts!" Tom says. He runs to the tree and climbs up. He finds a nut and breaks it open. "Yum, a peanut!" he says. + +"Can I have one, Tom?" Mia asks. She stands under the tree and looks up. She sees Tom holding a peanut. + +"Sure, Mia, here you go!" Tom says. He throws the peanut to Mia. But the peanut is too small and too fast. Mia cannot catch it. The peanut falls on the ground. + +"Oh no, my peanut!" Mia says. She bends down to pick it up. But before she can touch it, a squirrel runs out of the bushes and grabs the peanut. The squirrel runs away with the peanut in its mouth. + +"Hey, that's my peanut!" Mia shouts. She runs after the squirrel. She wants her peanut back. + +"Wait, Mia, don't chase the squirrel!" Tom shouts. He climbs down from the tree and follows Mia. He knows the squirrel is too quick and too smart. He knows there are more peanuts available in the tree. He wants to share them with Mia. He hopes Mia will come back and play with him. +Sam was a boy who liked to play with cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them race on the floor and pretend they were very fast and loud. + +One day, his big sister Lily came into his room. She was angry because Sam had taken her crayons without asking. She saw his cars and said, "These are mine now. You can't have them. They are too good for you." + +Sam was scared and sad. He loved his cars and did not want to lose them. He said, "No, they are mine. I got them for my birthday. Please give them back." + +Lily laughed and said, "No, I won't. You are too small and weak to stop me. I am bigger and stronger than you. You are a threat to my crayons, so I will take your cars." + +Sam felt angry and brave. He did not like his sister being mean to him. He said, "You are not fair. You are a bully. I will not let you take my cars. I will fight you." + +Lily and Sam started to tug and pull on the cars. They both wanted to have them. They shouted and cried and made a lot of noise. + +Their mom heard them and came into the room. She saw them fighting and said, "Stop it, both of you. What is going on here?" + +Lily and Sam told their mom what happened. Their mom was not happy. She said, "Lily, you should not take Sam's cars. They are his toys and he loves them. You should ask him before you use his things. And Sam, you should not take Lily's crayons. They are her tools and she needs them. You should share with her and be nice." + +Lily and Sam felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were wrong. We will not do it again." + +Their mom said, "I'm glad you understand. Now, why don't you play together and have fun? You can use the cars and the crayons and make something nice." + +Lily and Sam agreed. They gave each other a hug and said, "We are sorry. We love you." + +They decided to play together and make a picture of their cars. They used the crayons and the cars and had a lot of fun. They were happy and proud of their work. + +They showed their mom their picture and said, "Look, mom. We made this together. We succeeded." + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful. I'm very proud of you. You are both very good and smart. You are not ordinary. You are special." +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to make a tent with a big blanket and some chairs. They pretended they were camping in the woods. They had a flashlight and some toys inside the tent. + +But Tom was troubled. He saw a cord on the floor. It was long and thin and black. It was plugged into the wall. Tom wanted to know what it was. He crawled out of the tent and followed the cord. He saw that it went to the TV. + +"Look, Lily, I found a cord!" Tom shouted. He pulled on the cord. He wanted to see what would happen. + +"Tom, no!" Lily cried. She ran out of the tent. She knew that pulling the cord was bad. It could make the TV fall or break. It could hurt Tom or make a loud noise. She tried to stop Tom. + +But it was too late. Tom pulled the cord too hard. The TV wobbled and tipped over. It crashed on the floor. It made a loud noise. It scared Tom and Lily. They screamed. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise. They ran into the living room. They saw the TV on the floor. They saw the cord in Tom's hand. They saw Tom and Lily crying. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. She was angry and worried. + +"Tom pulled the cord!" Lily said. She pointed at Tom. + +"Tom, why did you pull the cord?" Dad asked. He was stern and sad. + +"I wanted to see what it was," Tom said. He was sorry and scared. + +Mom and Dad hugged Tom and Lily. They told them that pulling the cord was dangerous. They told them that the TV was broken. They told them that they should not touch cords or plugs. They told them that they should be careful and listen. +
