They are not happy, but they are not very mad either.

OK?" + +Anna and Ben say: + +"OK!" + +They go to the bathroom and wash their hands and faces. They are happy and relieved. They learned a lesson and they still have some cake.

She hugs him back and says: + +"It is not your fault, Ben, it is mine. I was stupid and I did not listen to you. You are brave, Ben, you are brave. You came to help me and you did not run away.

She said, "I'm sorry, Mama. I didn't know. I just wanted to dance. I like the light. But not this light. This light is mean. I don't like it." + +Mama kissed her hand. She said, "It's okay, Lila. I know you didn't mean to. But you have to be careful. Not all lights are good. Some lights are dangerous. You have to ask me before you touch any light. I will tell you if it is safe or not. Okay?" + +Lila said, "Okay, Mama. I will ask you. I love you, Mama." + +Mama said, "I love you, too, Lila. Now, let's go and find a nice light for dancing. A light that is gentle and warm.

Mom said the mixer was fast and loud, but it made the cake smooth and yummy. + +"Can I help, Mom?" Lily asked. She wanted to touch the mixer and see how it worked. + +"Sure, you can help, Lily.

I will stir with the spoon. I will not put my hand in the bowl," Lily said. She stirred the ingredients with the spoon. She liked to see how they changed color and texture. She stirred and stirred until Mom said, "That's enough, Lily. Good job. Now we can use the mixer." + +Mom plugged in the mixer and turned it on. It made a loud noise and spun fast. Lily watched with wide eyes as Mom moved the mixer around the bowl. The batter became smooth and creamy. Lily wanted to try the mixer too. + +"Mom, can I use the mixer?" Lily asked. + +Mom looked at Lily and said, "Hmm, I don't know, Lily. The mixer is very fast and loud. It can be dangerous if you don't hold it right. Do you think you can handle it?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I can handle it. I will hold it right. I will be careful. Please, Mom, can I use the mixer?" + +Mom thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Lily. I will permit you to use the mixer. But only for a little bit. And only with my help.

You are the best," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are the best too. Now, let's make this cake together." She handed Lily the mixer and helped her hold it.

There were apples, bananas, carrots, tomatoes and more. + +"Wow, this is a healthy basket," Lily said. "Who do you think it belongs to?" + +"Maybe it is for a picnic," Tom said. "Or maybe it is a gift for someone." + +They heard a voice behind them. It was a lady with a hat and a smile. + +"Hello, children," she said. "Do you like my basket?" + +Lily and Tom were surprised. They turned around and saw the lady. + +"Hi, lady," Lily said. "We are sorry, we were just curious." + +"That's OK, I don't mind," the lady said. "This is my basket.

He likes cheese." + +Mom hugs Anna. She says, "Don't worry, Anna. I have more cheese for you. I will give you some cheese. But you have to be careful. You have to put your cheese in a box. You have to close the box. You have to write your name on the box. Then the cat will not take your cheese again." + +Anna says, "OK, mom. Thank you, mom. I will be careful. I will put my cheese in a box. I will close the box. I will write my name on the box. I love cheese. And I love you, mom." Mom says, "I love you too, Anna. And I love cheese. And I love the cat. He is a good cat. He just made a mistake." Anna says, "OK, mom. I forgive the cat. He is a good cat. But he cannot have my cheese." Mom says, "OK, Anna. That's fair. Now let's go and have some cheese." Anna says, "Yes, mom. Let's go and have some cheese." They go and have some cheese. They are happy. The cat is happy too. He finds some ham. He eats the ham. He does not want cheese anymore. He says, "Meow." The end. +True was a hairy dog who loved to play with his friends. He liked to run, jump, fetch and bark. He had a lot of fun every day, but he also got very tired. + +One day, he was playing with his friend Spot, a black and white dog, in the park. They chased each other, rolled in the grass and dug a hole. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very thirsty. + +"Let's go to the pond and drink some water," Spot said. + +"OK," True said. They ran to the pond and lapped up some water. They felt better, but they also felt sleepy. + +"Let's lie down under the tree and rest," Spot said. + +"OK," True said. They found a shady spot under the tree and curled up together. They closed their eyes and started to snore. + +A little girl came by and saw the two dogs. She thought they were very cute and wanted to pet them. She walked up to them and said, "Hello, doggies. Can I pet you?" + +True and Spot heard the girl and opened their eyes. They saw her smiling face and wagged their tails. They liked people, especially children. + +"Hello, girl. You can pet us," True said. + +"Hello, girl. You can pet us," Spot said. + +The girl reached out her hand and gently stroked their fur. They licked her hand and nuzzled her cheek. They felt happy, but they also felt sleepy. + +"Thank you, doggies. You are very nice and hairy," the girl said. + +"Thank you, girl. You are very nice and sweet," True said. + +"Thank you, girl. You are very nice and kind," Spot said. + +They all yawned and smiled. They felt sleepy, but they also felt happy. They decided to take a nap together under the tree. They closed their eyes and started to snore. They had a lot of fun, but they also had a lot of dreams. +Tommy did not like to go to the barber. He thought it was boring and scary. He did not like the big chair, the loud scissors, and the wet towel. He always cried and kicked when his mom took him there. + +One day, his mom said, "Tommy, you need a haircut. Your hair is too long and messy. Come on, let's go to the barber. He is very nice and gentle. He will give you a lollipop if you are good." + +Tommy did not want to go. He said, "No, no, no! I don't want a haircut. I like my hair. It is soft and fluffy. Please, mom, don't make me go!" + +His mom said, "Sorry, Tommy, but you have to go. It is good for you. It will make you look neat and handsome. Trust me, it will not hurt. It will be over soon. Come on, let's go." + +She took him by the hand and led him to the car. Tommy was very sad and angry. He did not say a word. He just pouted and crossed his arms. + +When they got to the barber shop, Tommy saw a big sign that said, "Release the Beast". He wondered what it meant. He saw a picture of a lion with a big mane and sharp teeth. He felt scared. He thought, "Is the barber a beast? Will he cut my hair like a lion? Will he bite me?" + +He did not want to find out. He tried to run away, but his mom held him tight. She said, "Don't be silly, Tommy. That is just a joke. The barber is not a beast. He is a friendly man. He likes to make people happy. He will not hurt you. He will just trim your hair a little bit. Come on, let's go inside." + +She pushed him inside the barber shop. Tommy saw a man with a big smile and a white apron. He had a pair of scissors and a comb in his hands. He said, "Hello, Tommy. I'm Bob, the barber. Welcome to my shop. Don't be afraid. I'm here to help you. Come, sit on this big chair. It will make you feel like a king." + +Tommy did not want to sit on the big chair. He did not want to feel like a king. He wanted to feel like himself. He said, "No, no, no! I don't want to sit on the big chair. I don't want to feel like a king. I want to feel like Tommy. Please, mom, don't make me do this!" + +His mom said, "Tommy, please, stop crying. It's okay. Bob is a good barber. He will not cut your hair too much. He will just make it look nice and tidy. You will like it. I promise. Just relax and let him do his job. It will be over soon. Come on, be brave." + +She lifted him up and put him on the big chair. She buckled him up and gave him a hug. She said, "I love you, Tommy. You are a good boy. You can do this. I will be right here with you. Just close your eyes and think of something fun. Like your favorite toy, or your favorite show, or your favorite game. It will help you forget about the scissors and the comb. It will make you happy." + +Tommy did not believe her. He did not think anything could make him happy. He did not want to close his eyes. He wanted to see what was happening. He wanted to see if Bob was a beast. He opened his eyes and looked at Bob. + +Bob smiled at him and said, "Hi, Tommy. Are you ready for your haircut? Don't worry. I will be gentle and quick. I will not hurt you. I will just release the beast inside you. The beast that is wild and free and strong. The beast that is brave and proud and handsome. The beast that is you." + +Tommy did not understand what he meant. He did not think he had a beast inside him. He did not think he was wild or free or strong. He did not think he was brave or proud or handsome. He thought he was just Tommy. He said, "What do you mean, release the beast? I don't have a beast. I don't want a beast. I just want to be Tommy. Please, don't release the beast. Please, leave me alone." + +Bob said, "Trust me, Tommy. You have a beast. Everyone has a beast. It is the part of you that is unique and special. It is the part of you that makes you who you are. It is the part of you that I want to show to the world. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy soldiers in the garden. They had a big box of soldiers, some green and some brown. They made two teams and pretended to fight a war. + +"Bang, bang, you are dead!" Tom shouted, pointing his soldier at Lily's soldier. + +"No, I am not! You missed!" Lily said, hiding her soldier behind a rock. + +They laughed and ran around, making noises and having fun. + +Soon, they felt hungry. They looked at the house and saw their mom waving at them. + +"Come on, kids, it's time for lunch!" Mom called. + +Lily and Tom picked up their soldiers and ran to the house. They put their soldiers on the table and washed their hands. + +"What are we having, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"We are having soup and bread, and some fruit for dessert," Mom said. + +"Yum, that sounds good!" Lily said. + +They sat down and ate their soup and bread. They were very hungry and finished quickly. + +"Can we have some fruit, please?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, here you go," Mom said, giving them each a banana. + +"Thank you, Mom," Lily and Tom said. + +They peeled their bananas and ate them. They were sweet and juicy. + +"Can we go back to play with our soldiers, please?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but remember to clean up when you are done," Mom said. + +"OK, Mom," Lily and Tom said. + +They took their soldiers and went back to the garden. They continued to play with their soldiers, happy and full. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They share the ball and the kite. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb the hill. They think they can see a nice view from the top. They leave the ball and the kite on the grass. They start to climb the hill. + +But Ben is lazy. He does not want to climb the hill. He says, "I am tired. I want to stay here. You go ahead." Mia says, "No, Ben. Come with me. It will be fun. We can see the view together." Ben says, "No, thank you. I like it here. You go ahead." + +Mia is sad. She wants to share the view with Ben. She says, "Please, Ben. It is not far. We can do it. I will help you." Ben says, "No, thank you. I like it here. You go ahead." + +Mia is angry. She says, "Fine. I will go alone. You are lazy and selfish. You do not share. You are not a good friend." She climbs the hill by herself. She reaches the top. She sees the view. It is beautiful. She sees the trees, the flowers, the birds, the sky. She smiles. + +But she is also lonely. She wishes Ben was with her. She looks down. She sees Ben. He is sitting on the grass. He is playing with the ball and the kite. He is not sharing. He is not smiling. He looks bored. + +Mia thinks, "Maybe I was too harsh. Maybe Ben is scared of the hill. Maybe he needs a friend. Maybe I should share the view with him." She calls, "Ben, Ben. Come up here. The view is amazing. You will like it. I am sorry. I want to share with you. You are my friend." + +Ben hears Mia. He looks up. He sees Mia. She is waving at him. She is smiling. He thinks, "Maybe I was too lazy. Maybe Mia is right. Maybe the view is nice. Maybe I should climb the hill. Maybe I should share with her. She is my friend." + +He gets up. He leaves the ball and the kite on the grass. He starts to climb the hill. He says, "Mia, Mia. Wait for me. I am coming. The hill is not so bad. I am sorry. I want to share with you. You are my friend." + +Mia and Ben meet on the top of the hill. They hug. They see the view. They share the view. They share the ball and the kite. They share the fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Mia liked to dance. She danced in her room, in the park, and in her class. She wanted to be a dancer when she grew up. She had a pink dress and shiny shoes for dancing. + +One day, she went to a big show with her mom and dad. She saw many dancers on the stage. They wore beautiful costumes and moved with music. Mia clapped and cheered. She wanted to be like them. + +At the end of the show, Mia saw a dancer with a blue dress and a crown. She was the star of the show. Mia ran to her and said, "You are amazing! Can I be your friend?" + +The dancer smiled and said, "Of course, you can. What is your name?" + +"Mia. I love dancing. Do you have any tips for me?" + +The dancer nodded and said, "Yes, I do. The most important thing is to drink a lot of water. Water helps you stay healthy and strong. It also makes your skin glow and your voice clear. Do you drink enough water, Mia?" + +Mia thought for a moment. She remembered that she often forgot to drink water. She only drank juice or milk. She said, "No, I don't. I don't like water. It has no taste." + +The dancer said, "That's not good, Mia. Water is very good for you. It has many benefits. You should drink more water, especially if you want to be a dancer. Here, try some of mine." She handed Mia a bottle of water. + +Mia hesitated, but she wanted to be polite and helpful. She took the bottle and drank a sip. She was surprised. The water was cold and refreshing. It made her feel good. She drank some more and said, "Thank you. This is nice. I think I like water now." + +The dancer hugged Mia and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. You are a smart and helpful girl, Mia. I'm sure you will be a great dancer someday. Just remember to drink water and practice hard. And always have fun." + +Mia smiled and said, "I will. Thank you for being my friend. You are the best dancer ever." + +They both laughed and danced together. Mia was happy. She had learned something new and made a new friend. She decided to drink more water from now on. She knew it would help her achieve her dream. +Tom and Anna are playing with plastic blocks. They like to build towers and houses with them. Tom has a lot of red blocks and Anna has a lot of blue blocks. + +"Look at my tower, Anna!" Tom says. "It is very tall and strong. How many blocks do you think I have?" + +Anna looks at Tom's tower. She thinks it is too big and she wants to make her own tower bigger. She says, "I don't know, Tom. Maybe you have ten blocks. But I have more blocks than you. See, my tower is longer and wider. How many blocks do you think I have?" + +Tom looks at Anna's tower. He thinks it is too wide and he wants to make his own tower taller. He says, "I don't know, Anna. Maybe you have twelve blocks. But I have more blocks than you. See, my tower is higher and thinner. How many blocks do you think I have?" + +Anna and Tom start to argue. They both think they have more blocks than the other. They both want to count their blocks, but they don't know how to count very well. They only know how to count up to five. Counting more than five is hard for them. + +"Let's ask Mom to help us count our blocks," Anna says. "She knows how to count very well. She can tell us who has more blocks." + +"Okay, let's ask Mom," Tom says. "But I'm sure I have more blocks than you." + +They go to Mom and show her their towers. Mom smiles and says, "Wow, you both made very nice towers. I'm proud of you. Do you want me to help you count your blocks?" + +"Yes, please, Mom," Anna and Tom say. "We want to know who has more blocks." + +Mom helps them count their blocks. She shows them how to count by ones, and how to count by twos. She makes counting fun and easy for them. She says, "Tom, you have sixteen red blocks. Anna, you have fourteen blue blocks. So, Tom has more blocks than Anna by two blocks. But you both have a lot of blocks. You can share them and make even bigger towers together." + +Anna and Tom look at each other. They feel sorry for arguing. They say, "Thank you, Mom, for helping us count. You are very smart and kind. We are sorry for fighting. We will share our blocks and play nicely together." + +Mom hugs them and says, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I'm glad you learned how to count and how to share. You are very good and clever. I love you both very much." +Sara and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They wanted to do something new and fun. + +"Let's choose a sight to see," Sara said. "We can pretend we are on a trip." + +"OK, how do we do that?" Ben asked. + +"We can use our books and our imagination," Sara said. "We can pick a book with pictures of a place we like and then pretend we are there." + +They went to their bookshelf and looked at the books. There were books about animals, cars, space, and fairy tales. Sara and Ben liked different things, so they had to agree on a book. + +"I want to see the lions and the elephants," Sara said. "Let's choose this book about the zoo." + +"No, I want to see the rockets and the stars," Ben said. "Let's choose this book about space." + +They argued for a while, but they could not decide. They both wanted to choose their own book. + +"Maybe we can take turns," Sara suggested. "You can choose first, and then I can choose next." + +"OK, that sounds fair," Ben agreed. "But I still want to choose space." + +He took the book about space and opened it. He showed Sara the pictures of the planets and the astronauts. He told her what he knew about them. + +"Look, this is Earth, where we live," he said. "And this is the moon, where some people have been. And this is Mars, where no one has been yet." + +Sara looked at the pictures and listened to Ben. She thought they were interesting, but she also wanted to see the animals. + +"Can I choose now?" she asked. + +"OK, fine," Ben said. "But I hope you choose something good." + +Sara took the book about the zoo and opened it. She showed Ben the pictures of the lions and the elephants. She told him what she knew about them. + +"Look, this is a lion, the king of the jungle," she said. "And this is an elephant, the biggest animal on land. And this is a giraffe, the tallest animal with a long neck." + +Ben looked at the pictures and listened to Sara. He thought they were cool, but he also wanted to see the rockets. + +They kept choosing books and sights to see. They learned new things and had fun. They forgot about the gloomy day and their boredom. They were happy. +Tom liked to go to the zoo with his mom. He liked to see the animals and hear the noises they made. His favorite animal was the alligator. He thought it was interesting how it had a big mouth and many teeth. + +One day, Tom saw a sign that said "Let the alligator eat". He was curious and wanted to see what it meant. He asked his mom if he could go closer to the fence. His mom said yes, but told him to be careful and not touch anything. + +Tom walked to the fence and saw a big bucket of meat. He also saw a man with a stick. The man used the stick to poke the meat and throw it to the alligator. The alligator opened its mouth and snapped the meat. It made a loud crunch sound. Tom was amazed and excited. He clapped his hands and said "Wow!" + +The man saw Tom and smiled. He said "Do you like the alligator?" Tom nodded and said "Yes, it is interesting!" The man said "Do you want to let the alligator eat?" Tom said "Yes, please!" The man gave Tom the stick and said "Be careful, don't get too close. Just poke the meat and throw it to the alligator." + +Tom took the stick and poked the meat. He threw it to the alligator. The alligator caught it and crunched it. Tom felt happy and proud. He said "I let the alligator eat!" His mom took a picture and said "Good job, Tom! You are very brave!" Tom smiled and said "Thank you, mom! I love the alligator!" +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jug on the table. It was full of milk. + +"Let's drink some milk," Tom said. "It will make us strong." + +He reached for the jug, but Lily stopped him. + +"No, Tom, that's not our milk. It belongs to Mom. She will be angry if we take it." + +Tom did not listen. He was thirsty and hungry. He grabbed the jug and tried to pour some milk into a cup. But the jug was too heavy for him. He dropped it on the floor. The milk spilled everywhere. The jug broke into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Look what you did! You are so stupid, Tom!" + +Mom heard the noise and came into the kitchen. She saw the mess and the broken jug. She was very upset. + +"Who did this?" she asked. "Who broke my jug?" + +Lily pointed at Tom. "He did it, Mom. He took your milk and dropped your jug. He was stupid." + +Mom looked at Tom. He was scared and sorry. He started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I was thirsty and hungry. I wanted some milk." + +Mom sighed. She was angry, but she also felt sorry for Tom. She hugged him and wiped his tears. + +"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to learn to ask before you take something that does not belong to you. And you have to be careful with things that can break. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded. He said he was sorry again. He hugged Mom and said he loved her. + +Mom smiled. She loved Tom too. She told Lily and Tom to help her clean up the mess. Then she gave them some cookies and milk. She told them they were good children, but they had to be more careful next time. +Tom and Sue like to play in the garden. They dig with their shovels and find many things. They find rocks, worms, and roots. Roots are the parts of plants that grow under the ground. They are brown and long and sometimes twisty. + +One day, Tom and Sue find a big root. It is bigger than their arms. They pull and pull, but they cannot get it out. They wonder what plant it belongs to. Maybe it is a carrot, or a potato, or a turnip. They want to see it and taste it. + +They ask their mom for help. Mom comes with a bigger shovel. She digs around the root and loosens the soil. She tells Tom and Sue to be careful and not hurt the plant. She says the root is part of a tree. A tree is a big plant that has a trunk, branches, and leaves. Trees give us shade, fruits, and air. + +Mom lifts the root and shows it to Tom and Sue. They see that it is thick and rough and has many smaller roots attached to it. They touch it and smell it. It does not smell like a carrot, or a potato, or a turnip. It smells like dirt and wood. + +Mom tells Tom and Sue to put the root back in the hole. She says the root is important for the tree. It helps the tree get water and food from the ground. It also helps the tree stay strong and not fall over. The root makes the tree safe and happy. + +Tom and Sue put the root back in the hole. They cover it with soil and pat it gently. They say sorry to the tree and thank it for letting them see its root. They hug the tree and feel its bark. They think the tree is nice and friendly. They go back to their shovels and look for more things to dig. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with many trees. They wanted to see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"OK, Lily!" Ben said. "But we have to be careful. It looks mysterious." + +They held hands and started to walk up the hill. They heard some noises in the trees. They saw some birds and squirrels. They were not scared. + +They reached the top of the hill. They saw a big lake with a bridge. They wanted to cross the bridge. + +"Look, Ben!" Lily said. "A bridge! Let's go over it!" + +"OK, Lily!" Ben said. "But we have to be careful. It looks old and weak." + +They held hands and started to walk over the bridge. They heard some creaks and cracks. They saw some holes and gaps. They were scared. + +They tried to go back, but it was too late. The bridge broke and they fell into the water. They screamed and splashed. They could not swim. + +They sank and drowned. They were gone. +Sara likes to play in the rain. She puts on her boots and coat and runs outside. She sees a big puddle on the road. She wants to jump in it and make a splash. + +She runs to the puddle and takes a big step. But the puddle is deeper than she thinks. Her boot sinks into the water and her foot gets wet. She feels the water soak her sock and make it cold. She says "Oh no!" and pulls her foot out. + +She looks at her boot and sees it is full of water. She shakes it and the water comes out. She hears a funny sound and laughs. She looks at the puddle and sees it is empty. She says "Where did the water go?" and looks around. + +She sees a drain on the side of the road. The water is going into the drain and making a noise. She says "Oh, I see!" and walks to the drain. She sees the water swirl and disappear. She says "Bye bye, water!" and waves. + +She runs back to the puddle and sees it is still empty. She says "No more jumping!" and looks for another puddle. She sees one on the grass and runs to it. She jumps in it and makes a splash. She says "Yay!" and smiles. She likes to play in the rain. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play with their toys. They had a lot of cars, dolls, blocks and books. But their favorite toy was a big red truck that could deliver anything they wanted. They pretended that the truck was magic and could bring them ice cream, pizza, flowers and balloons. + +One day, they decided to deliver a surprise to their grandma, who lived next door. They filled the truck with some cookies, a card and a teddy bear. They put on their hats and coats and went outside. They pushed the truck along the sidewalk, making honking noises. + +"Beep beep! Magic truck coming!" Tom shouted. + +"Grandma will be so happy!" Lily said. + +They reached grandma's house and knocked on the door. Grandma opened it and smiled when she saw them. + +"Hello, my sweeties! What a nice surprise!" she said. + +"Look, grandma, we have a magic truck!" Tom said. "It can deliver anything you want!" + +"We brought you some cookies, a card and a teddy bear!" Lily said. "They are for you!" + +Grandma hugged them and thanked them. She invited them inside and gave them some milk and cake. They showed her how the truck worked and played with it on the floor. + +"You have a wonderful magic truck, my dears!" grandma said. "But you know what's more magic? Your love and kindness. You made me very happy today!" + +Tom and Lily smiled and hugged grandma. They felt warm and safe in her arms. They knew that grandma loved them very much, and they loved her too. They were glad that they had a magic truck that could deliver happiness. +Lily and Tom were playing with snow in the park. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They were very happy. + +But then a rude boy came and kicked their snowman. He laughed and ran away. Lily and Tom were very sad and angry. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Lily shouted. "You broke our snowman!" + +The rude boy did not care. He kept running and kicking other snowmen. + +Lily and Tom tried to fix their snowman, but it was too late. The sun was shining and the snow was melting. The snowman's hat and scarf fell off. The carrot nose slid down. The snowman became smaller and smaller. + +"Look, our snowman is leaking!" Tom said. "He is going away!" + +Lily and Tom hugged their snowman and said goodbye. They hoped he would come back next winter. + +They decided to go home and have some hot chocolate. They did not want to see the rude boy again. They were still sad, but they knew they had each other. They were good friends. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were police and catch bad people. Anna had a fancy hat with a badge and a whistle. Ben had a toy gun and handcuffs. + +"Stop, you are a bad person!" Anna shouted at Ben, who was hiding behind the couch. "I am the police and I will catch you!" + +"No, you can't catch me!" Ben said, sticking out his tongue. "I have a gun and I will shoot you!" + +Anna blew her whistle and ran towards Ben. She tried to grab his gun, but Ben pulled it away. He pointed it at Anna and said, "Bang, bang, bang!" + +Anna felt something hit her chest. She looked down and saw blood. She dropped her hat and whistle and fell to the floor. She started to cry. + +Ben realized he had made a big mistake. He had used his dad's real gun, not his toy gun. He had shot his sister. He dropped the gun and ran to Anna. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" + +But it was too late. Anna was not moving. She was not breathing. She was gone. + +Ben heard sirens outside. He saw flashing lights. He heard people knocking on the door. He knew they were the real police. He knew he was in big trouble. He wished he had never played with the gun. He wished he had never shot his sister. He wished he could say sorry to her one more time. But he couldn't. He had done something very bad. And he had to face the consequences. +Dan and Sam are brothers. They like to play with tools. They have a big box of tools in their room. They have hammers, saws, screws, nails, and more. + +One day, Dan finds a new tool in the box. It is shiny and round. It has a button on it. Dan pushes the button. The tool makes a loud noise. It also spins very fast. Dan is happy. He thinks it is a fun tool. + +"Look, Sam, look what I found!" Dan says. He shows the tool to Sam. + +"What is it?" Sam asks. He is curious. + +"I don't know. But it is cool. Watch what it can do!" Dan says. He pushes the button again. The tool makes a loud noise and spins very fast. + +Dan wants to try the tool on something. He sees a wooden block on the floor. He thinks the tool can make a hole in the block. He holds the tool to the block and pushes the button. + +But the tool does not make a hole. It makes a big scratch. The block is ruined. Dan is sad. He likes the block. He also feels a pain in his hand. The tool is too strong for him. It does not fit his hand. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Dan cries. He drops the tool and rubs his hand. + +"Are you okay, Dan?" Sam asks. He is worried. + +"No, I'm not okay. The tool hurt me. And it broke my block. It is a bad tool. I don't like it." Dan says. He is angry. + +Sam picks up the tool. He looks at it. He sees a word on it. He can read some words. He reads the word on the tool. + +"Dan, this is not a tool. This is a drill. It is for grown-ups. It is not for kids. We should not play with it. It is dangerous." Sam says. He is smart. + +"Oh, a drill. I did not know that. I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry, block. I'm sorry, drill. I will not play with it again. I will put it back in the box." Dan says. He is sorry. + +Sam nods. He helps Dan put the drill back in the box. He also gives Dan a band-aid for his hand. He is a good brother. + +They hug. They say they love each other. They decide to play with something else. Something that is safe and fun. Something that fits their hands. They find some crayons and paper. They draw pictures of tools. They are happy. +Sara liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a shelf for her books. She liked to make everything neat and pretty. She also liked to help her mom organize the kitchen. She knew where the spoons, the plates, and the cups went. + +One day, Sara saw a new thing in the kitchen. It was a shiny faucet. It had a handle that you could turn to make water come out. Sara was curious. She wanted to see how it worked. She climbed on a chair and reached for the handle. She turned it a little bit. Water came out. She turned it more. More water came out. She turned it all the way. A lot of water came out. It splashed on the sink, the counter, and the floor. Sara was surprised. She tried to turn the handle back, but it was hard. She could not stop the water. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the water everywhere. She saw Sara on the chair. She was wet and scared. Mom ran to the faucet and turned it off. She took Sara off the chair and hugged her. She said, "Sara, what did you do? You made a big mess. You should not play with the faucet. It is not a toy. It is for washing and cooking. You could have hurt yourself or broken something." + +Sara felt bad. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to see the water. I did not know it was so hard to turn it off. I like to organize things, not make messes." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I know, Sara. You are a good helper. But you have to be careful and ask before you touch things you don't know. Come on, let's clean up the water. It will be easy if we work together." +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with many boats. The boats were in a row. Lily and Tom wanted to ride a boat. + +They ran to the pond and asked a man. The man said, "You can ride a boat, but you have to pay me one coin each." Lily and Tom had no coins. They were sad. + +They saw a lady with a big bag. The lady was smiling. She said, "Hello, children. Do you want to ride a boat?" Lily and Tom nodded. The lady said, "I have many coins in my bag. You can have some if you help me carry it to the other side of the pond." + +Lily and Tom were happy. They said, "Yes, please. Thank you, lady." They took the bag and followed the lady to a boat. The bag was heavy, but they did not mind. They thought the lady was fair and kind. + +They got on the boat with the lady. The lady gave them each a coin. She said, "Here you go, children. Now you can ride a boat. But first, let me show you something in my bag." She opened the bag and pulled out a big knife. She said, "This is my knife. I use it to cut things. Like your throats." + +Lily and Tom were scared. They screamed and tried to run. But the lady was faster. She grabbed them and cut their throats. They bled and died. The lady laughed and threw their bodies into the water. She said, "Goodbye, children. Thanks for the coins." She took the boat and rowed away. She was still smiling. +Sam loves to zoom on his bike. He has a red bike with big wheels and a bell. He likes to go fast and make noise. He zooms around the park with his mom and dad. They are happy and smile. + +One day, Sam sees a light in the sky. It is yellow and bright. It is the sun. Sam likes the sun. It makes him feel warm and cozy. He zooms towards the sun. He wants to touch it and play with it. + +But the sun is very far away. Sam cannot reach it. He zooms and zooms, but the sun does not get closer. He gets tired and sad. He stops his bike and cries. + +Mom and dad come to Sam. They hug him and kiss him. They tell him the sun is not for playing. It is for shining and giving light. They say the sun is Sam's friend, but he cannot touch it. He can only look at it and say hello. + +Sam feels better. He wipes his tears and smiles. He says hello to the sun. The sun says hello back. It winks and sparkles. Sam zooms on his bike again. He is happy and proud. He has a new friend in the sky. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a spray bottle filled with water. They liked to spray the flowers and the grass and pretend they were giving them magic. They said the magic would make the plants grow big and healthy. + +"Look, Anna, this rose is so pretty!" Ben said, spraying it gently. "It has red petals and a nice smell. Do you think it likes our magic?" + +"I think so, Ben. Maybe it will say thank you to us," Anna said, smiling. She sprayed another rose next to it. "Hello, rose. We are Anna and Ben. We are your friends. We want you to be happy and healthy." + +Suddenly, they heard a voice from behind the roses. It was soft and sweet, like a song. "Hello, Anna and Ben. We are the roses. We are your friends, too. We are very happy and healthy, thanks to your magic. You are very kind and gentle. We want to give you a gift." + +Anna and Ben were surprised and curious. They looked behind the roses and saw a fairy. She had wings like a butterfly and a dress like a flower. She had a crown of roses on her head and a wand in her hand. She smiled at them and said, "I am the fairy of the roses. I saw you playing with the spray bottle and I liked your game. You have good hearts and imaginations. I want to give you some of my magic, too. You can use it to make your dreams come true. But you have to be careful and only use it for good things. Do you promise?" + +Anna and Ben nodded eagerly. They felt a warm and tingling feeling in their hands. The fairy said, "Now you have some of my magic. You can use it by saying what you wish and waving your hands. But remember, only use it for good things. And don't tell anyone else, or the magic will go away. It is our secret. Now, I have to go. But I will come back and visit you sometimes. Goodbye, Anna and Ben. Keep playing and spraying. You are wonderful children." + +The fairy flew away, leaving a trail of sparkles behind her. Anna and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They felt happy and excited. They had a spray bottle, a secret, and some magic. They couldn't wait to try it out. They hugged each other and said, "Thank you, fairy. Thank you, roses. We love you." +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They had a cart that they used to carry their toys and snacks. One day, they decided to go to the park and have a picnic. They put their sandwiches, apples, and cookies in the cart and pushed it along the road. + +On the way, they saw a big pile of dirt. Lily wanted to stop and play with the dirt. She said, "Let's bury our cart in the dirt. It will be fun!" Ben did not think it was a good idea. He said, "No, Lily. That is not fun. That is silly. We need our cart for our picnic. And we have to be careful. The dirt might have bugs or worms or rocks." But Lily did not listen to Ben. She was independent and wanted to do what she wanted. She said, "I don't care. I want to bury our cart. You can go to the park by yourself. I don't need you." She grabbed the cart and pulled it to the pile of dirt. + +Ben was sad and angry. He did not want to lose his friend or his cart. He tried to stop Lily, but she was too strong. She pushed him away and dumped the cart in the dirt. Then she started to shovel the dirt over the cart with her hands. She laughed and said, "Look, Ben. I buried our cart. Isn't it funny?" Ben did not think it was funny. He thought it was mean and stupid. He said, "No, Lily. It is not funny. It is bad. You ruined our cart and our picnic. And you hurt my feelings. You are not a good friend." He turned around and walked away. + +Lily did not care. She kept playing with the dirt. She thought she was having fun. But soon, she got tired and hungry. She wanted to eat her sandwich and her cookie. She wanted to go to the park and play on the swings and the slide. She wanted to be with Ben. She realized she made a mistake. She tried to dig out the cart from the dirt, but it was too hard. The dirt was heavy and sticky. She could not see the cart or the food. She started to cry. + +She wished she had listened to Ben. She wished she had been kind and smart. She wished she had not been independent and selfish. She learned a lesson. She learned that burying her cart was not fun. It was foolish. She learned that being independent was not good. It was lonely. She learned that being a friend was better. It was happy. + +The end. +Anna likes to see the stars at night. She thinks they are pretty and shiny. She knows some stars have names, like the Big Bear and the Little Bear. She likes to find them in the sky with her dad. + +One night, Anna sees a star that is very bright and fast. It looks like a firework, but it is not loud. Her dad tells her it is a shooting star. He says shooting stars are special, and you can make a wish when you see one. + +Anna thinks hard about what she wants to wish for. She has many toys and books and clothes, but sometimes they are messy and hard to find. She wishes she had a big box to put them in, so they would be organized and neat. She closes her eyes and says her wish in her head. + +The next day, Anna wakes up and sees a big box in her room. It has her name on it and a bow. She is very happy and excited. She opens the box and sees it has many smaller boxes inside, with labels and pictures. She can put her toys and books and clothes in the right boxes, and they will be organized and neat. + +Anna hugs her dad and thanks him for the box. He smiles and says he saw her wish on the shooting star. He says he is proud of her for being organized and neat. Anna says she loves him and the box. She thinks shooting stars are very special and nice. +Lily liked to polish her shoes. She used a soft cloth and some shiny stuff. She made her shoes look new and clean. She was proud of her shoes. + +One day, Lily saw a big pile of paper on the table. She wanted to play with the paper. She took some paper and tore it into pieces. She made hats and boats and planes. She had fun with the paper. + +But the paper was not hers. The paper was Mom's work. Mom needed the paper for her job. Mom was very angry when she saw what Lily did. She yelled at Lily and took away her shoes. She said Lily was not fair and not good. + +Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. She wanted her shoes back. She wanted Mom to love her. She did not understand why Mom was so mad. She did not know how to say sorry. She wished she did not play with the paper. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys in the park. One day, they find a big ball. Sara says, "This is my ball. I saw it first." Ben says, "No, this is my ball. I want it more." They disagree. They pull the ball from each other. They are not happy. + +A lady sees them. She says, "Why are you fighting? That is not nice. You can share the ball. It is big enough for both of you." Sara and Ben look at the lady. They do not know her. They do not want to share. They say, "No, this is our ball. Go away." They are rude. + +The lady is sad. She says, "That is not how you make friends. You should be kind and respectful. The ball is not yours. It is an object. It belongs to someone else. Maybe they lost it. Maybe they are looking for it. You should give it back." Sara and Ben think. They feel sorry. They say, "You are right. We are sorry. We will give the ball back." They are sorry. + +They look around. They see a boy. He is crying. He says, "I lost my ball. I can't find it. It is my favorite ball." Sara and Ben go to him. They say, "Is this your ball?" They show him the ball. He says, "Yes, this is my ball. Thank you. You are very nice." He is happy. + +Sara and Ben are happy too. They say, "You are welcome. We are sorry we took your ball. Can we play with you?" He says, "Yes, of course. You can play with me. We can be friends." They are friends. They play with the ball together. They are peaceful. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big red flower. Lily wanted to touch it. + +"Look, Ben, a pretty flower!" Lily said. "Can I touch it?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, don't touch it. It is a rose. It has sharp things on it. They can cut you and make you bleed." + +Lily did not listen to Ben. She reached out her hand and touched the rose. She felt a sting on her finger. She pulled back her hand and saw a drop of blood. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "It cut me, Ben, it cut me!" + +Ben ran to Lily and took her hand. He saw the cut on her finger. He felt sorry for Lily. + +"I told you not to touch it, Lily. It is a rose. It has thorns. They are sharp and hurt you. Come, let's go to Mom. She can help you." + +Ben and Lily went to the house. They found Mom in the kitchen. She saw Lily's finger and frowned. + +"What happened, Lily?" Mom asked. "Did you touch something you shouldn't have?" + +Lily nodded. She felt ashamed. She told Mom about the rose. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to touch the pretty flower. But it cut me. It was disgusting." + +Mom hugged Lily and kissed her finger. She washed the cut and put a band-aid on it. + +"It's okay, Lily. You made a mistake. But you learned something. Roses are beautiful, but they have thorns. You have to be careful when you touch them. Next time, listen to Ben. He knows a lot about flowers. He can show you the ones that are safe to touch." + +Lily smiled and hugged Mom. She said sorry to Ben too. He smiled and hugged her back. + +"It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. You are my sister. I love you. Come on, let's go back to the garden. I will show you some other flowers. They are not as pretty as roses, but they are soft and nice to touch." +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big tree with a swing. They take turns to swing on the rope. + +One day, Tom has an idea. He says to Lily, "Let's make a fort under the tree. We can use the old chairs and blankets from the shed." + +Lily thinks that is a good idea. She says, "OK, Tom. You get the chairs and I get the blankets." + +They run to the shed and find four chairs and two blankets. They carry them to the tree. They put the chairs in a square and cover them with the blankets. They make a door with a gap. + +They crawl inside their fort. They are happy. They have a secret place to play. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Spot. Spot is big and furry. He likes to play too. He sees the fort and thinks it is a toy. He runs to the fort and jumps on it. + +The fort falls down. The chairs break. The blankets tear. Tom and Lily are scared. They shout, "Spot, no! Bad dog!" + +Spot is sorry. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He does not understand why they are angry. + +Tom and Lily are sad. They need new chairs and blankets to make a new fort. They look at the broken chairs. One chair is still OK. It is thin and light. Tom has an idea. He says to Lily, "Let's use this chair to swing on the rope. It will be fun." + +Lily thinks that is a good idea. She says, "OK, Tom. You go first and I go next." + +They tie the chair to the rope. They take turns to swing on the chair. They are happy again. They have a new game to play. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would yell "mine!" or "yours!" to let the other know who should get the ball. + +But then the sky became dark and they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. Sara and Tom were scared of thunder. They dropped the ball and ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. + +"Mom, mom, can we go home?" Sara asked. "The thunder is too loud and scary!" + +"Me too, me too!" Tom said. "I don't like the thunder!" + +Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. The thunder is just the sound of the clouds bumping into each other. It can't hurt you. But we should go home before it rains. Come on, let's get the ball and go." + +Sara and Tom followed mom to get the ball. But they saw another boy holding the ball. He was bigger than them and had a mean look on his face. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Tom said. "Give it back!" + +The boy shook his head and said, "No, it's mine now. I found it. You can't have it." + +Sara and Tom felt angry and sad. They wanted their ball back. They looked at mom for help. + +Mom smiled and said, "Why don't you ask him nicely if he wants to share the ball with you? Maybe he doesn't have anyone to play with. Sharing is a good way to make friends." + +Sara and Tom thought about it. They didn't want to fight with the boy. They wanted to be kind and friendly. They decided to try mom's idea. + +"Hi, what's your name?" Sara asked the boy. + +The boy looked surprised and said, "I'm Ben." + +"Hi, Ben. We're Sara and Tom. We were playing with the ball before the thunder came. Do you want to play with us?" Tom asked. + +Ben thought about it. He felt lonely and bored. He didn't have any friends in the park. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll play with you. But can I keep the ball?" + +Sara and Tom looked at each other. They liked their ball, but they also liked to share. They agreed and said, "Sure, you can keep the ball. But can we take turns kicking it?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Yes, we can take turns. That sounds fair." + +So Sara, Tom, and Ben played with the ball together. They kicked it, caught it, and passed it. They had fun and laughed. They forgot about the thunder and the rain. They were happy. + +Mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of Sara and Tom for being graceful and kind. She was glad they made a new friend. She thought they learned a good lesson about sharing and yielding. She hoped they would always remember it. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. They are adventurous. They see a big hill with snow. They want to slide down the hill. + +They find a big board. They put the board on the snow. They sit on the board. They hold hands. They say, "Ready, set, go!" They slide down the hill very fast. They feel the wind on their faces. They laugh and scream. + +But the hill is too steep. The board goes too fast. It hits a rock. The board breaks. Anna and Ben fly off the board. They land on the ground. They are covered with snow and ash. Ash is black and gray. It comes from the fire that burned the trees. + +Anna and Ben are scared and hurt. They cry. They want their mom and dad. They see smoke in the sky. They hear sirens. They hope someone will help them. They hug each other. They wait. +Tim and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to run, jump, swing and slide. They also liked to look for bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a big group of ants. The ants were marching on the ground. They carried little bits of food and leaves. Tim and Mia followed the ants. They wanted to see where they were going. + +The ants marched to a big tree. Under the tree, there was a hole. The ants went inside the hole. Tim and Mia peeked into the hole. They saw many more ants. They also saw something else. It was a butterfly. The butterfly was very pretty. It had wings with many colors. But the butterfly did not move. It was dead. The ants were taking the butterfly to their home. + +Tim and Mia felt sad. They liked butterflies. They wondered why the butterfly was dead. Maybe it was sick. Maybe it was old. Maybe a bird or a spider ate it. They wanted to help the butterfly. They wanted to make it fly again. They reached into the hole. They tried to grab the butterfly. But the ants did not like that. The ants bit Tim and Mia. They bit their fingers and hands. They bit very hard. Tim and Mia screamed. They pulled their hands out of the hole. They ran away from the tree. They ran to their mom. They cried and showed their bites. Their mom hugged them and kissed them. She put some cream on their bites. She told them to be careful. She told them not to touch the ants or the butterfly. She told them that the ants and the butterfly had their own lives. She told them that sometimes things die and that is part of life. She told them that they could still enjoy the park and the bugs and the flowers. She told them that they could still play and have fun. Tim and Mia nodded. They felt better. They said sorry to the ants and the butterfly. They went back to play. They saw another butterfly. It was alive. It flew in the air. It landed on a flower. Tim and Mia smiled. They watched the butterfly. They did not touch it. They let it be. They were happy. +Sara and Tom love to play with their cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make them speed on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. Sometimes they pretend they are drivers and talk to each other. + +"Beep beep, I am the fastest car in the world!" Tom says, making his red car zoom past Sara's blue car. + +"No, you are not, I am!" Sara says, making her blue car chase Tom's red car. + +They laugh and have fun, until they hear a loud noise from the kitchen. It is their mom, who is making cookies for them. She sounds angry. + +"Tom, Sara, what are you doing? You made a big mess with your cars! Look at all the crumbs and the scratches on the furniture! You have to clean up right now!" + +Tom and Sara stop playing and look at each other. They feel sorry for making their mom upset. They love their mom and they love her cookies. They decide to put away their cars and help her clean up. + +They go to the kitchen and see their mom holding a tray of cookies. She smiles and hugs them. + +"I'm sorry I yelled at you, my loves. I know you were having fun, but you have to be careful with your toys. You don't want to break them or hurt yourselves, do you?" + +"No, mom, we don't. We are sorry, too. We will be more careful next time," Tom and Sara say. + +They help their mom wipe the crumbs and the scratches. Then they sit down and enjoy the cookies. They are warm and sweet and fill their tummies. They are happy and forget about their cars. + +But their cars are still on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. They are empty and lonely. They wish they could speed and play again. They hope Tom and Sara will come back soon. They miss their love. +Ben and Mia are playing with blocks in their room. They are building a big tower with many colors. They are having fun and laughing. + +But then, Mom comes in and says, "It's time for bed, kids. You have to brush your teeth and put on your pajamas." + +Ben and Mia do not want to stop playing. They resist Mom and say, "No, no, no! We are not sleepy. We want to play more." + +Mom is firm and says, "You have to sleep, kids. It's good for you. You can play with your blocks tomorrow. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +Ben and Mia are sad and angry. They do not want to leave their tower. They think Mom is mean. They cry and pout. + +Mom is patient and says, "I know you love your blocks, but you can't play all night. You need to rest your eyes and your body. Look, I will help you put your blocks away in this box. You can keep them in your room and see them in the morning." + +Ben and Mia are still not happy, but they see that Mom is trying to help them. They decide to listen to Mom and go to the bathroom. They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. + +Mom hugs them and says, "Good job, kids. I'm proud of you. Now, let's go to your bed and read a story." + +Ben and Mia are still a little grumpy, but they follow Mom to their bed. They snuggle with Mom and listen to her read a story. They look at the pictures and hear the words. + +Soon, they feel their eyes getting heavy and their bodies getting warm. They are sleepy. They yawn and say, "Good night, Mom. We love you." + +Mom kisses them and says, "Good night, kids. I love you too. Sweet dreams." + +She turns off the light and leaves the room. Ben and Mia close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of their blocks and their tower. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play on the farm. They loved to see the animals and feed them. One day, they saw a new pig in the barn. It was small and pink and had a curly tail. + +"Look, a new pig!" Lily said. "Can we pet it?" + +Tom nodded. He asked the farmer, "Is this pig available? Can we play with it?" + +The farmer smiled. He said, "Yes, this pig is available. He is very friendly and likes to be petted. He is a gift for my son, who will come home tomorrow. He does not have a name yet. Do you want to help me name him?" + +Lily and Tom were very happy. They said, "Yes, please! We want to help you name the pig!" + +They thought of some names for the pig. Lily liked Fluffy, because the pig had soft fur. Tom liked Spot, because the pig had a black spot on his ear. They asked the pig, "Do you like Fluffy or Spot?" + +The pig snorted and wagged his tail. He seemed to like both names. The farmer said, "Why don't we name him Fluffy Spot? That way, he has both names that you like." + +Lily and Tom agreed. They said, "Fluffy Spot is a good name for the pig. We like it!" + +They hugged the pig and thanked the farmer. They said, "We are glad you have a new pig. We hope your son will like him too. Can we come back and visit Fluffy Spot?" + +The farmer said, "Of course, you can. Fluffy Spot will be happy to see you again. You are his first friends." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They said, "Bye, Fluffy Spot! We will see you soon!" + +They waved to the pig and the farmer and ran back to their parents. They told them about the new pig and his name. They were very proud and happy. They had helped name a pig. +Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big helicopter in the sky. It makes a loud noise. + +"Wow, look at the helicopter!" Ben says. "It can fly so high!" + +"I want to fly too!" Mia says. "Can we go on the helicopter?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, we can't. The helicopter is for people who need help. Like when someone is hurt or lost." + +Mia frowns. She does not like Ben's answer. She wants to have fun. She runs away from Ben and towards the helicopter. + +"Stop, Mia!" Ben calls. "It's not safe!" + +But Mia does not listen. She keeps running. She does not see the big fence around the helicopter. She trips and falls. She hurts her knee. She cries. + +Ben runs after Mia. He sees her on the ground. He feels sorry for her. He helps her get up. + +"Are you okay, Mia?" he asks. + +Mia nods. She is still crying. She sees blood on her knee. She is scared. + +"Look, the helicopter is coming!" Ben says. He points to the sky. The helicopter is flying closer. It lands near them. A man and a woman get out. They are wearing uniforms. They have a bag with them. + +"Hello, kids," the woman says. "We are here to help. What happened?" + +Mia tells them what happened. She says she wanted to go on the helicopter. She says she is sorry. + +The man smiles. He says it's okay. He says he is a pilot. He says he flies the helicopter to help people. He says he can show them the helicopter. + +The woman says she is a nurse. She says she can help Mia with her knee. She says she has a band-aid and a sticker. + +Mia and Ben are happy. They say thank you. They follow the man and the woman to the helicopter. They see the inside of the helicopter. They see the buttons and the seats and the windows. They clap their hands. They think the helicopter is cool. + +The man and the woman are nice. They tell them stories about the helicopter. They give them stickers and hats. They say they are helpful kids. + +Mia and Ben smile. They say they are sorry for running away. They say they learned a lesson. They say they will not do it again. + +They hug the man and the woman. They say goodbye. They go back to the park. They play together. They are friends. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the toys. One day, they find a big box in the hall. It has a label that says "For Mom and Dad". They are curious. They want to see what is inside. + +They drag the box to their room. They use their scissors to cut the tape. They open the box. They see a big, shiny, modern lamp. It has a long cord and a round shade. It looks like a ball. Anna and Ben think it is a toy. They want to play with it. + +Anna grabs the cord. She pulls it. Ben grabs the shade. He pulls it. They tug and tug. They do not share. They do not listen. They hear a loud rip. The cord and the shade tear apart. The lamp falls to the floor. It breaks. Anna and Ben are scared. They hear Mom and Dad coming. + +"What was that noise?" Mom asks. + +"Let's go see," Dad says. + +They open the door. They see the broken lamp. They see the torn cord and shade. They see Anna and Ben. They are sad. They are sorry. + +"What did you do?" Mom asks. + +"We wanted to play with the toy," Anna says. + +"It was not a toy," Dad says. "It was a gift for us. It was a modern lamp. It was very expensive. It was very special. You should not have touched it. You should have asked us first." + +"We are sorry, Mom and Dad," Ben says. + +"We are sorry, too," Anna says. + +Mom and Dad are angry. They are disappointed. They are also worried. They hug Anna and Ben. They check if they are hurt. They are not hurt. They are lucky. + +"You are not hurt, but you are in trouble," Mom says. "You have to learn to respect other people's things. You have to learn to share and listen. You have to say sorry to the people who gave us the lamp. You have to help us clean up the mess. And you have to go to bed early tonight. No more playing." + +Anna and Ben nod. They feel bad. They wish they had not torn the lamp. They wish they had played with their own toys. They wish they had been good. They say sorry to Mom and Dad. They say sorry to the people who gave them the lamp. They help them clean up the mess. They go to bed early. They hope Mom and Dad will forgive them. They hope they will get another chance to play. They hope they will find a better toy. A toy that does not tear. A toy that does not break. A toy that does not make Mom and Dad sad. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. One day, they see a big bag on a tree. It is hanging from a branch. + +"What is in the bag?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Let's find out," Sam says. + +They run to the tree and pull the bag down. It is heavy and dirty. They open the bag and see meat inside. It is red and smelly. + +"Yuck! This is meat for dogs," Tom says. + +"Who put it here?" Sam asks. + +They hear a loud bark behind them. It is a big dog. It is angry and hungry. It wants the meat. + +"Run!" Tom shouts. + +They drop the bag and run to the house. The dog chases them. It bites the bag and tears it open. It eats the meat. + +Tom and Sam are safe inside. They watch the dog from the window. + +"That was scary," Tom says. + +"Next time, let's not touch the bag," Sam says. + +They hug each other and laugh. They are happy to be together. +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They had a big ball that they liked to pass to each other. Sometimes they threw it high in the air, and sometimes they rolled it on the ground. + +"Pass me the ball, Max!" Lily said. + +"OK, here you go!" Max said. He threw the ball to Lily, but it went too far. It flew over the fence and landed in the neighbor's yard. + +"Oh no, the ball is gone!" Lily said. She ran to the fence and looked over. She saw a big dog lying on the grass. It was a lazy dog. It did not care about the ball. + +"Hey, dog, give us our ball back!" Max said. He also ran to the fence and shouted. But the dog did not move. It just yawned and closed its eyes. + +"What can we do?" Lily asked. She was sad. She liked the ball. + +"Maybe we can ask the neighbor to help us," Max said. He saw a lady coming out of the house. She was the neighbor. She was nice. + +"Excuse me, lady, can you please get our ball?" Max asked. He waved his hand. + +"Sure, I can do that," the lady said. She smiled. She walked to the dog and picked up the ball. She threw it over the fence to Lily and Max. + +"Thank you, lady, you are very kind!" Lily and Max said. They were happy. They hugged the ball. + +"You're welcome, kids, have fun!" the lady said. She waved back. + +Lily and Max went back to playing in the backyard. They passed the ball to each other. They were careful not to throw it too far again. They did not want to lose the ball or bother the lazy dog. +Tim and Liz are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They need something for the eyes and the mouth. Tim says, "Let's go to the shed and find some coal. Coal is black and hard. We can use it for the snowman's face." + +They run to the shed and look for coal. They see a big bag of coal. They try to lift it, but it is too heavy. They ask for help. They see Dad coming. Dad is strong and reliable. He always helps them when they need something. They say, "Dad, can you help us? We want to make a snowman's face with coal. Can you give us some coal, please?" + +Dad smiles and says, "Sure, I can help you. Coal is a good choice for a snowman's face. It will not melt or fall off. But you need to be careful. Coal can be dirty and sharp. You need to wear gloves and prepare a small bucket. I will give you some coal from the bag. Then you can take it to the snowman and make his face." + +Tim and Liz say, "Thank you, Dad. You are the best. We will wear gloves and prepare a bucket. We will be careful with the coal. We will make a beautiful snowman's face. We will show you when we are done." + +They hug Dad and run to the snowman with the coal. They make two big eyes, a small nose and a big smile.

Do you like him?" + +Dad comes and says, "Wow, you did a great job. Your snowman has a coal face. He looks so funny and friendly. I like him very much. You are very creative and smart. I am proud of you." + +They hug Dad and the snowman. They say, "Thank you, Dad. We love you. We love our snowman. He is our coal friend." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the park. They wonder what is inside. + +"Can we use the box?" Lily asks Ben. + +"Sure, let's use it!" Ben says. "Maybe we can make a house or a car or a spaceship!" + +They open the box and see many things. They see paper, crayons, scissors, glue, stickers, and more. They are happy.

Please, hang them on the wall for everyone to see." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They hang their pictures on the wall. They see their pictures and their friends' pictures. They are all colorful and different. They say, "We like to make pictures. It is fun and easy. Thank you, teacher, for the task." +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big red car that made loud noises and had shiny lights. Lily had a small pink doll that could talk and sing when she pressed a button on its back. + +"Look at my car, Lily. It is so cool and fast. It can go vroom vroom and beep beep. Your doll is so cheap and boring. It only says the same things over and over. Can I play with it?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben. This is my doll and I love her. She is not cheap and boring. She is pretty and sweet. She can say I love you and sing a song. You cannot play with her. You have your own toy." Lily said. + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He grabbed the doll from her hands and ran away. Lily cried and chased him. Ben laughed and pressed the button on the doll's back. But nothing happened. The doll did not talk or sing. Ben pressed the button harder and harder. But still nothing happened. + +"Hey, what's wrong with this doll? It is broken. It does not work. It is a cheap and bad toy. I don't want it anymore." Ben said. He threw the doll on the floor and went back to his car. + +Lily picked up the doll and hugged her. She saw that the button on the doll's back was cracked and loose. Ben had broken it when he pressed it too hard. Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to fix the doll and make her talk and sing again. + +She ran to the kitchen and looked for something to help her. She saw a roll of tape on the counter. She took it and ran back to the living room. She carefully taped the button on the doll's back. She hoped it would work. + +She pressed the button gently and waited. She heard a soft voice from the doll. + +"I love you, Lily. You are my best friend. Do you want to hear a song?" The doll said. + +Lily smiled and hugged the doll. She was so happy. She had saved her doll. She pressed the button again and sang along with the doll. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are so kind and smart. You fixed me. You are a good friend." The doll said. + +Lily looked at Ben and his car. She did not want to play with him anymore. He was mean and rude. He broke her doll. He was a bad friend. + +She decided to play with her doll in her room. She took her doll and left the living room. She did not say goodbye to Ben. She did not care about him or his car. She only cared about her doll. She loved her doll. Her doll was not cheap and boring. Her doll was precious and fun. Her doll was the best toy ever. +Tom and Mia liked to play on the beach. They made sand castles and looked for shells. But they had to be careful of the water. Their mom told them not to go too far. The water could be strong and pull them in. That was the tide. + +One day, Tom and Mia saw a big boat on the water. It had a flag and a sail. They wanted to see it closer. They asked their mom if they could go. + +"No, you can't go," their mom said. "The tide is high and the water is strong. It is not safe. You have to stay here with me." + +"But mom, we want to see the boat," Tom said. "It looks fun. Maybe it has pirates or treasure." + +"No, Tom, it does not have pirates or treasure. It is just a boat. And you are not allowed to go. You have to listen to me. I know what is best for you." + +Tom and Mia were sad. They did not understand why their mom did not allow them to go. They thought she was mean. They looked at the boat and wished they could go. + +But then they saw something. The boat was moving fast. The water was pushing it. The boat hit a big rock. The rock made a hole in the boat. The water went inside the boat. The boat started to sink. + +Tom and Mia were scared. They saw the people on the boat. They were shouting and waving. They needed help. They jumped into the water and tried to swim. + +Tom and Mia realized their mom was right. The tide was high and the water was strong. It was not safe. They were glad they did not go. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. + +Their mom hugged them back and said it was okay. She said she loved them and wanted to protect them. She said they could watch the boat from the beach. She said maybe someone would come and help the people on the boat. + +Tom and Mia watched the boat from the beach.

They had many toys: boats, ducks, bubbles. They were having fun, making noises and splashing water. + +But then, Max saw something shiny in the drain. He wanted to grab it. He reached his hand into the hole. + +"Max, no!" Lily shouted. "That is not a toy. That is a drain. It can hurt you." + +But Max did not listen. He wanted the shiny thing. He demanded, "Give it to me! It is mine!" + +Lily tried to pull Max's hand out of the drain. But it was stuck. Max started to cry. He was scared and in pain. + +Lily was serious.

They were worried. + +They used soap and water to make Max's hand slippery. They gently pulled it out of the drain. They hugged Max and Lily. They checked Max's hand. It was red and sore, but not bleeding. + +They said, "Max, you are very brave. But you should never put your hand in the drain. It is dangerous. You could get hurt or lose something." + +Max nodded. He was sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Daddy. I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted the shiny thing. What is it?" + +Mommy looked at the shiny thing. It was a ring. She said, "It is my ring. I must have dropped it in the sink. Thank you for finding it, Max. But next time, please tell me if you see something in the drain. OK?" + +Max said, "OK, Mommy. I love you." + +Lily said, "I love you too, Max. And I love your ring, Mommy. It is very pretty." + +Mommy and Daddy smiled. They said, "We love you both. Now, let's dry off and get ready for bed. How about a story?" + +Lily and Max agreed. They got out of the bathtub. They wrapped themselves in towels. They followed Mommy and Daddy to their bedroom. They snuggled in their beds. They listened to a story. They fell asleep. They dreamed of boats, ducks, bubbles, and shiny things. +Jill and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. Sometimes they saw animals like birds, squirrels and rabbits. They wanted to be friends with them, but their mom said they had to be careful and not touch them. + +One day, they saw a new animal in their yard. It was small and brown and had a long tail. It looked like a mouse, but bigger. They wondered what it was and followed it. It ran into a hole under a big rock. Jill and Tom wanted to see where it lived, but the hole was too small for them. + +"Can we dig the hole bigger?" Jill asked Tom. + +"Maybe. But mom might not allow it. She said we have to keep the yard nice and not make a mess," Tom said. + +"But I want to see the animal. It looks harmless and cute. Maybe it wants to play with us," Jill said. + +She took a stick and started to dig around the hole. Tom helped her. They made the hole bigger and bigger. They did not see the animal come out, but they saw a path that led to another hole under a different rock. + +"Look, it has two homes!" Jill said. + +"Let's follow the path and see the other home," Tom said. + +They ran along the path, but they did not notice that the sky was getting dark and cloudy. They also did not hear the thunder that was getting louder and louder. They were too busy looking for the animal. + +They reached the other hole and peeked inside. They saw the animal curled up in a nest of leaves and grass. It had two small babies with it. They looked like mini versions of the animal. + +"Aw, they are so sweet!" Jill said. + +"Shh, don't scare them," Tom said. + +They smiled and watched the animal family. They did not see the flash of lightning that lit up the sky. They did not feel the rain that started to fall. They did not know that they were in trouble. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the garden. They had a big box of toys that they could attach to each other and make different things. One day, they decided to make a rocket with their toys. They attached wheels, wings, a cone, and a big red button. + +"Let's go to the moon!" Tim said. + +"OK, but we need some fuel," Sam said. + +They looked around the garden and saw some radishes growing in a corner. They picked some and attached them to the back of the rocket. + +"Radishes are good for rockets," Tim said. "They are red and spicy." + +They climbed into the rocket and pushed the button. The radishes started to sputter and smoke. + +"Ready, set, go!" Sam said. + +But the rocket did not go. Instead, it made a loud boom and the radishes exploded. The rocket fell apart and the toys flew everywhere. Tim and Sam were covered in dirt and radish bits. + +"Uh-oh," Tim said. + +"Uh-oh," Sam said. + +They heard their mom coming out of the house. She was not happy. She saw the mess and the broken toys and the radishes. + +"What have you done?" she asked. + +"We tried to go to the moon," Tim said. + +"With radishes?" she asked. + +"Yes," Sam said. + +She shook her head and sighed. She was not rich, and she needed the radishes for dinner. She told the boys to clean up and go inside. She was not angry, but she was sad. + +"Maybe next time, use something else for fuel," she said. + +"Like what?" Tim asked. + +"Like carrots," she said. + +"Carrots?" Sam asked. + +"Yes, carrots," she said. "They are orange and sweet." + +"OK," Tim said. + +"OK," Sam said. + +They thought carrots sounded better than radishes. They hoped they could find some in the garden. They still wanted to go to the moon. +Lily liked to play with her model cars. She had many colors and sizes of cars, and she made them race on the floor. One day, she was playing with her red car, when her brother Ben came in. Ben wanted to play with the red car too, but Lily said no. She said it was her car, and she did not want to share. + +Ben was angry, and he grabbed the red car from Lily. He pulled it hard, and the car broke. The wheels came off, and the car was in two pieces. Lily cried, and Ben felt bad. He said he was sorry, and he tried to fix the car. But the car was too broken, and he could not make it whole again. + +Lily was very sad, and she did not want to talk to Ben. She said he was mean, and he ruined her car. Ben did not know what to do. He wanted to make Lily happy, and he wanted to heal the car. He thought of an idea. He went to his room, and he found his glue. He brought the glue to Lily, and he said, "Let me try to heal your car. Maybe the glue can stick the pieces together." + +Lily looked at Ben, and she saw that he was sorry. She gave him the car, and he put some glue on the broken parts. He pressed them together, and he waited for the glue to dry. He hoped the glue would work, and the car would be like before. After a while, he gave the car back to Lily. He said, "Here, I healed your car. It is not perfect, but it can still roll. Do you want to play with it?" + +Lily took the car, and she saw that it was fixed. The car was not as shiny as before, and the glue made it tight. But the wheels could still turn, and the car could still race. Lily smiled, and she said, "Thank you, Ben. You healed my car. I am sorry I did not share with you. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben smiled too, and he said, "Yes, I want to play with you. I am sorry I broke your car. Can we share it?" Lily nodded, and she gave him the car. They played together, and they had fun. They learned that sharing is good, and that healing is better than hurting. +Tommy loved to play with his drum.

You have to get ready for bed." + +"But mom, I want to play more!" Tommy said. He did not want to stop his fun. + +"I know, honey, but you have to sleep. You played with your drum a lot today.

The pots are heavy and the water is hot." + +Ben nodded. He lifted his pot with both hands and walked slowly to the stove. He wanted to put his pot on the fire and make it boil. He was very proud of his soup. + +But Ben did not see the rug on the floor. He tripped and fell. His pot flew out of his hands and landed on the floor with a loud clang.

She did not care about the soup or the mess. + +"Are you OK, Ben?" she asked. "Do you need a band-aid?" + +Ben sniffed and nodded. He felt better with Lily's hug. He was glad she was his sister. + +"I'm OK, Lily," he said. "But I'm sorry. I ruined our game." + +Lily shook her head. She smiled and kissed his cheek. + +"It's OK, Ben," she said.

She smiled and said, "Thank you, dentist." + +The dentist said, "You're very welcome, Lily. You are a very brave and sweet girl. And you have a very nice brush.

Why don't you both keep True and sell some other toys instead?" + +Lily and Ben looked at True and saw his tears. They felt sorry for him and for each other. They let go of True and hugged him. + +"Sorry, True," Lily said. + +"Sorry, True," Ben said. + +They kissed True and said they loved him. Then they picked some other toys to sell and put them in the box. They kept True and shared him. True was happy and so were they. + +They went to the yard sale and sold their toys to other kids who wanted them. They made some money and gave it to their mom. She was proud of them and said they did a good job. + +They went back to their room and played with True. They took turns holding him and telling him stories. They were peaceful and happy. True was peaceful and happy too. He was glad he had Lily and Ben as his friends. +Lily had a cat named Mimi. Mimi was black and white and very soft. Lily liked to play with Mimi and give her hugs and kisses. Mimi liked to chew on Lily's toys and sometimes on Lily's hair. + +One day, Lily and Mimi were in the garden. They saw a big dog. The dog was brown and loud. He barked and ran towards them. Lily and Mimi were scared. They ran back to the house. + +"Mama, mama!" Lily cried. "There is a big dog in the garden! He is scary!" + +Mama came out and saw the dog. She shooed him away with a broom. The dog ran away. + +"It's okay, Lily. The dog is gone. He can't hurt you or Mimi." Mama said. + +Lily hugged Mama and Mimi. She was happy and safe. + +"Mama, can we go inside and play?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, sweetie. Let's go inside and play." Mama said. + +Lily and Mimi went inside and played with their toys. Mimi chewed on a mouse toy and Lily chewed on a cookie. They were not scared anymore. They were friends. +Ben and Jen were twins who liked to play with their toys. But they were also selfish. They did not like to share their toys with each other or with their friends. They always wanted to have more toys than the other. + +One day, their mom gave them a big jar of pennies. She said they could use the pennies to buy more toys if they wanted. Ben and Jen were very happy. They each took half of the jar and ran to their rooms. They counted their pennies and dreamed of the toys they could buy. + +But then they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big fire truck. The fire truck was going to their neighbor's house, where there was a lot of smoke. Ben and Jen saw their neighbor, Mrs. Lee, crying on the sidewalk. She said her house was on fire and she had lost everything. + +Ben and Jen felt very sad for Mrs. Lee. They remembered how nice she was to them. She always gave them cookies and read them stories. They wanted to help her. They looked at their pennies and had an idea. + +They ran to their mom and asked her to take them to Mrs. Lee. They gave her their pennies and said they wanted to help her buy new things for her house. Mrs. Lee was very touched and thanked them. She hugged them and said they were very kind and generous. + +Ben and Jen felt very happy. They realized that sharing their pennies was better than buying more toys. They also realized that they loved each other and their neighbor. They learned to be less selfish and more caring. They decided to unite and play with their toys together and with their friends. They also decided to visit Mrs. Lee often and help her in any way they could. They became the best twins and the best neighbors ever. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park near their houses. There was a big fence around the park, but they knew a small hole where they could go in and out. + +One day, they saw a man with a guitar in the park. He was singing and playing lovely songs. Anna and Ben liked his songs very much. They went closer to listen and watch. + +"Hello, little ones," the man said with a smile. "Do you like my music?" + +"Yes, we do!" Anna and Ben said together. "You are very good!" + +"Thank you, thank you," the man said. "Do you want to sing with me?" + +"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben said. They loved to sing. + +The man taught them a simple song. It was about a bird and a flower. Anna and Ben sang along with the man. They had fun. + +When they finished the song, the man clapped his hands. "Bravo, bravo!" he said. "You are very good, too!" + +Anna and Ben felt happy. They clapped their hands, too. They wanted to applaud the man and themselves. + +They heard some more clapping. They looked around. They saw some other people in the park. They had stopped to listen to the music. They liked it, too. They applauded the man, Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben felt proud. They smiled at the man and the people. They thanked them for listening. They had made new friends. They had a lovely day. +Lila and Ben were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They were wealthy, which means they had a lot of things and money. They had many toys, clothes, books, and games, but they were not happy. They always wanted more and more, and they never shared with each other or their friends. + +One day, it snowed a lot outside. The snow was white and soft and cold. Lila and Ben put on their warm coats, hats, gloves, and boots, and ran outside to play. They saw other kids making snowmen, snow angels, and snowballs. They wanted to join them, but they did not know how to ask nicely. + +"Hey, you, give me that carrot!" Lila shouted at a girl who was putting a carrot nose on her snowman. + +"No, it's mine! Go find your own!" the girl said. + +Lila tried to grab the carrot, but the girl pushed her away. Lila fell on the snow and started to cry. + +"Hey, you, give me that hat!" Ben yelled at a boy who was putting a hat on his snowman. + +"No, it's mine! Go find your own!" the boy said. + +Ben tried to snatch the hat, but the boy threw a snowball at him. Ben got hit in the face and started to cry. + +Lila and Ben ran back to their big house, feeling sad and angry. They did not have any fun in the snow. They did not have any friends to play with. They realized that owning a lot of things did not make them happy. They wished they could be more kind and generous, like the other kids. + +They decided to change their ways. They gathered some of their toys, clothes, books, and games, and put them in a big bag. They went outside again, and looked for the girl and the boy they had been rude to. They found them, and said they were sorry. + +"Here, we want to give you these. We have too many, and we want to share," Lila said, handing the bag to the girl. + +"Wow, thank you! That's very nice of you!" the girl said, smiling. + +"Here, we want to give you these. We have too many, and we want to share," Ben said, handing the bag to the boy. + +"Wow, thank you! That's very nice of you!" the boy said, smiling. + +Lila and Ben felt happy and warm inside. They asked the girl and the boy if they could play with them. They said yes, and they all had fun in the snow. They made snowmen, snow angels, and snowballs. They laughed and talked and helped each other. They became friends. + +Lila and Ben learned that owning a lot of things did not make them wealthy. Being kind and generous did. +Tim and Lily were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They had many blocks of different shapes and colors. + +"Look, I made a circle with my blocks!" Lily said, showing Tim her round creation. + +"How did you do that?" Tim asked. He wanted to learn how to make a circle too. + +"It's easy. You just need to put blocks next to each other, like this." Lily explained, pointing to her blocks. "See, they make a curve. And then you close the curve with another block, like this." She added the last block to complete her circle. + +"Wow, that's cool! Can I try?" Tim said, reaching for some blocks. + +"Sure, here you go." Lily said, giving him some blocks. "But be careful, don't knock down my circle. It took me a long time to make it." + +Tim nodded and started to arrange his blocks. He followed Lily's instructions and tried to make a curve. But it was harder than it looked. His blocks kept falling or sliding or making gaps. + +"Oops, sorry!" Tim said, as he accidentally bumped into Lily's circle and made it collapse. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Lily said, frowning. "You ruined my circle!" + +"I didn't mean to!" Tim said, feeling bad. "I was just trying to learn!" + +Lily sighed. She was angry, but she also remembered how hard it was to make a circle the first time. She decided to be kind and help Tim. + +"It's okay, Tim. I forgive you. Making a circle is not easy. But you can do it, if you practice. Here, let me show you again." Lily said, smiling. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend." Tim said, smiling back. + +They worked together to rebuild Lily's circle and make another one for Tim. They were proud of their circles and showed them to their mom. + +"Wow, you made circles with your blocks! That's amazing! You are very smart and creative!" Mom said, praising them. + +"Thank you, Mom. We learned how to make circles from Lily. She is very good at it." Tim said. + +"And Tim is very good at learning. He is very brave and tries new things." Lily said. + +Mom hugged them and gave them a kiss. "I'm so proud of you both. You are not only good at making circles, but also at being friends. You are very kind and forgiving. That's more important than any shape or color." + +Tim and Lily smiled and hugged Mom. They were happy and felt loved. They liked to play with blocks and make circles, but they liked to play with each other more. They were the best of friends. +Anna liked to play in the garden with her doll, Lily. Lily had a pink dress and long hair. Anna liked to make Lily talk and sing. She also liked to pick flowers and give them to Lily. + +One day, Anna saw a big, shiny car in front of her house. It was her uncle's car. He came to visit Anna and her family. He had a big smile and a big bag. He gave Anna a hug and a present. It was a modern doll. It had a blue dress and short hair. It could talk and sing by itself. + +Anna was happy, but also curious. She wanted to see how the modern doll worked. She pressed a button on its back and heard a voice. "Hello, I'm Mia. Let's be friends." The modern doll said. Anna smiled and said hello back. She took Mia and Lily to the garden. + +Anna wanted to show Mia the flowers. She picked a yellow one and gave it to Mia. But Mia did not like it. She said, "Yuck, this is dirty. I don't want it." She threw the flower away. Anna was surprised and sad. She picked another flower, a red one, and gave it to Lily. Lily said, "Thank you, Anna. This is pretty. I love it." She hugged the flower. + +Anna wanted to play with both dolls, but Mia did not permit it. She said, "Lily is old and boring. I'm new and fun. You should play with me only." She tried to take Lily away from Anna. Anna did not like that. She said, "No, Mia. Lily is my friend. You are mean. I don't want to play with you." She held Lily tight. + +Anna's uncle saw what happened. He came to the garden and asked Anna what was wrong. Anna told him everything. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I thought you would like Mia, but I was wrong. She is not a nice doll. You can keep her or give her away. It's up to you. But Lily is your true friend. She loves you and you love her. That's what matters." He hugged Anna and Lily. + +Anna was happy again. She said, "Thank you, uncle. I love you and Lily. I don't want Mia. She can go away." She gave Mia back to her uncle. He said, "Okay, Anna. I'll take Mia with me. Maybe I can find someone who likes her. But you and Lily stay together. You are a good pair." He smiled and waved goodbye. + +Anna and Lily played in the garden until it was dark. They sang and talked and laughed. They were happy. They were friends. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings and the slide. They saw a big man in a suit. He had a briefcase and a hat. He looked mysterious. + +"Who is he?" Sam asked Lily. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is a lawyer. He works with papers and money," Lily said. + +The big man walked to a bench and sat down. He opened his briefcase and took out some papers. He looked at them and frowned. + +Sam and Lily were curious. They wanted to see what the papers were. They sneaked behind the bench and peeked at the briefcase. + +"Wow, look at all the papers. They have words and numbers and stamps," Sam said. + +"Shh, don't be loud. He might hear us," Lily said. + +They tried to read the papers, but they did not understand them. They saw some pictures of houses and cars and people. + +"Maybe he is buying or selling things," Sam said. + +"Or maybe he is stealing things," Lily said. + +They heard the big man sigh. He put the papers back in his briefcase and closed it. He looked at his watch and stood up. + +Sam and Lily were scared. They did not want the big man to see them. They tried to run away, but they were too late. + +The big man turned around and saw them. He was angry. He shouted at them. + +"Hey, you little brats! What are you doing here? Get away from my briefcase! You have no business here!" + +He grabbed his briefcase and swung it at them. He hit Sam on the head. Sam fell down and cried. He had a big bump on his head. He was hurt. + +Lily screamed. She ran to Sam and hugged him. She was sad and scared. + +The big man laughed. He was mean. He did not care about Sam and Lily. He walked away with his briefcase. He did not say sorry. + +Sam and Lily were alone. They did not have fun. They had a bad day. They wished they never saw the big man. He was a bad lawyer. He was a bad person. He was a bad mystery. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw an old man with a cane. He was walking very slowly and looked sad. + +"Hello, sir," Lily said. "Why are you sad?" + +The old man stopped and smiled at Lily. "Hello, little girl. I am sad because my cane is broken. See?" He showed them his cane. It had a crack in the middle. + +"Oh, no!" Tom said. "That is bad. How did it break?" + +The old man sighed. "I was crossing the street and a big car came very fast. It hit my cane and broke it. The driver did not stop or say sorry. He was very bitter and mean." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry for the old man. They wanted to help him. + +"Maybe we can repair your cane," Lily said. "We have glue and tape at home. We can bring them and fix it for you." + +The old man smiled again. "That is very kind of you, little girl. Thank you very much. Where do you live?" + +Lily and Tom told him their address. They asked him to wait for them at the park bench. They ran home and got their glue and tape. They came back and repaired the old man's cane. They wrapped the tape around the crack and put some glue on it. + +"There," Lily said. "Now your cane is good as new." + +The old man thanked them and hugged them. He tried his cane and it was strong and steady. He was very happy. + +"You are very good children," he said. "You made my day. Thank you for repairing my cane." + +Lily and Tom were happy too. They had made a new friend. They waved goodbye to the old man and went back to playing in the park. +Tom was a gifted boy who liked to draw and sing. He was very good at both and his teachers and friends praised him a lot. He felt happy and proud of himself. + +One day, he had to go on a bus with his class to visit a museum. He was excited to see new things and learn more. He brought his favorite crayons and a notebook to draw what he saw. + +But on the bus, he met a bully named Sam. Sam was mean and rude to everyone. He saw Tom's crayons and notebook and snatched them from his hands. He said, "These are mine now. You don't need them. You think you are so smart and talented, but you are not. You are just a baby who likes to play with colors." + +Tom felt very sad and angry. He tried to get his crayons and notebook back, but Sam was bigger and stronger. He pushed Tom away and laughed at him. Tom started to cry. He felt helpless and alone. + +Then, he heard a voice. It was his friend Lisa, who sat next to him on the bus. She saw what Sam did and she did not like it. She said, "Sam, you are very mean and rude. You should not take things that are not yours. You should not hurt Tom's feelings. He is a gifted boy who likes to draw and sing. He is not a baby. He is my friend. And I am his friend. Give him back his crayons and notebook, or I will tell the teacher." + +Sam was surprised and scared. He did not expect Lisa to stand up for Tom. He did not want to get in trouble with the teacher. He gave back Tom's crayons and notebook and said, "Fine, take them. They are stupid anyway. You are both stupid." + +Lisa ignored him and hugged Tom. She said, "Don't cry, Tom. You are not stupid. You are gifted. And you are not alone. You have me. And you have many other friends who like you and your drawings and songs. Let's go to the museum and have fun. And don't mind Sam. He is just a bully who needs to learn how to be nice and respectful." + +Tom smiled and wiped his tears. He said, "Thank you, Lisa. You are a good friend. And you are right. I don't need to cry. I need to be happy and proud of myself. And I need to share my gifts with others. Let's go to the museum and have fun. And maybe, one day, Sam will learn how to be nice and respectful too." + +The moral value of the story is: Be kind and supportive to your friends, especially when they are bullied or hurt. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about yourself or your talents. Stand up for yourself and others, and don't be afraid to speak up. Share your gifts with others and enjoy learning new things. +Lily and Max were playing in the living room with their toys. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily was a lion and Max was a monkey. + +"Roar!" Lily said. "I am the king of the jungle!" + +"Ooh-ooh-ah-ah!" Max said. "I am the best climber in the world!" + +They laughed and chased each other around the couch. They were having a great time. + +But then Lily felt something in her tummy. She needed to go to the bathroom. She stopped playing and looked at Max. + +"Max, I have to go to the bathroom. Can you come with me?" she asked. + +Max shook his head. He did not want to stop playing. He wanted to be a monkey. + +"No, Lily. You can go by yourself. I want to play more," he said. + +Lily felt sad and scared. She did not like to go to the bathroom by herself. She thought there might be monsters or spiders in there. She wished Max would come with her. + +"Please, Max. I am frightened. I don't want to go alone," she said. + +Max looked at Lily. He saw that she was serious. He did not want to make her cry. He decided to be a good brother. He put down his toy and took Lily's hand. + +"Okay, Lily. I will come with you. Don't be frightened. I will protect you," he said. + +Lily smiled and hugged Max. She was happy that he was nice to her. She felt brave with him. + +"Thank you, Max. You are the best brother in the world," she said. + +They went to the bathroom together. There were no monsters or spiders in there. Just a toilet and a sink and a mirror. Lily did what she had to do and washed her hands. Max did the same. They looked at themselves in the mirror and made funny faces. + +They went back to the living room and continued playing. They were both lions and monkeys and friends. They had a lot of fun. +Sara and Tom are playing in the kitchen. They like to pretend they are chefs and make yummy food. Sara has a big spoon and Tom has a small knife. They look for things to cook in the cupboard. + +"Look, Tom, I found some flour and sugar. We can make a cake!" Sara says. + +"Good, Sara, I found some eggs and butter. We can mix them with the flour and sugar!" Tom says. + +They put everything in a big bowl and stir it with the spoon and the knife. They are very happy. They think their cake will be the best cake ever. + +But then they hear Mom coming. They know Mom will be angry if she sees the mess they made. They quickly hide the bowl under the table and run to their room. + +"Tom, Sara, what are you doing in the kitchen?" Mom asks. + +"Nothing, Mom, we are just playing!" Sara and Tom say. + +Mom looks in the cupboard and sees the flour and sugar are gone. She looks under the table and sees the bowl with the sticky batter. She is not happy. She calls Sara and Tom and tells them to come and clean up. + +Sara and Tom are sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They help Mom clean the kitchen and say they are sorry. Mom is not angry anymore. She hugs Sara and Tom and says she loves them. + +"Maybe next time you can help me make a real cake," Mom says. + +Sara and Tom smile. They like that idea. They are happy again. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big truck near the road. It is red and shiny and has many wheels. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Tom says. "It is so big and loud!" + +"Can we go and see it?" Lily asks. "Maybe we can touch it or sit in it." + +They run towards the truck, but they have to be careful. There are many cars and bikes and people on the road. They hold hands and look both ways. + +When they get to the truck, they see a man in blue clothes. He has a tool box and a hat. He is working on the truck. He is a mechanic. + +"Hello, Mr. Mechanic!" Lily says. "What are you doing?" + +"Hello, little ones!" the mechanic says. "I am fixing the truck. It has a problem with the engine. Do you like trucks?" + +"Yes, we do!" Tom says. "They are big and strong and fast!" + +The mechanic smiles. He lets them look at the truck. He shows them the lights and the horn and the wheels. He tells them about his job and how he helps trucks. + +Lily and Tom are very happy. They learn many things about trucks. They thank the mechanic and say goodbye. + +They run back to the park. They want to play some more. But Lily stumbles on a rock. She falls and hurts her knee. She cries. + +Tom helps her up. He hugs her and says, "Don't cry, Lily. It is okay. I will get you a band-aid and a juice. You are brave and strong, like a truck!" + +Lily smiles. She feels better. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend, like a mechanic!" + +They go to the bench where their mom is waiting. She gives them a band-aid and a juice. She asks them about their adventure. They tell her about the big truck and the mechanic. They are proud and happy. They love trucks and mechanics and each other. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. They named him Frosty. + +"Hello, Frosty!" Ben said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +"Yes, please!" Frosty said. He had a magic hat that made him talk. Ben and Mia were very surprised and happy. + +They played with Frosty for a long time. They threw snowballs, made snow angels, and slid down the hill. Frosty was very fun and friendly. + +But then, a mean boy came by. He saw Frosty and wanted his hat. He ran to Frosty and grabbed his hat. + +"Hey, give that back!" Ben shouted. "That's Frosty's hat!" + +"Finders keepers, losers weepers!" the mean boy said. He put the hat on his head and laughed. + +Frosty felt very cold and sad. He could not talk without his hat. He started to freeze. He could not move or smile. + +"Help, help!" Mia cried. "Frosty is freezing!" + +Ben and Mia ran to the mean boy. They tried to get the hat back. But the mean boy was bigger and stronger. He pushed them away. + +"Go away, you little brats!" he said. "This is my hat now!" + +Ben and Mia did not give up. They had an idea. They made a big snowball and threw it at the mean boy. It hit him in the face. He dropped the hat and fell down. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he said. "That hurt!" + +Ben and Mia quickly picked up the hat and ran to Frosty. They put the hat back on his head. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Frosty said. He could talk and move again. He was happy and warm. + +"You're welcome, Frosty!" Ben and Mia said. They hugged him. + +They played with Frosty some more. They ignored the mean boy. He was cold and wet and angry. He learned his lesson. + +The end. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and fish. They wanted to feed the ducks some bread, so they asked their mom for some. + +"Here you go, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. There might be an alligator hiding there," their mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and took the bread. They walked to the edge of the pond and threw some pieces to the ducks. The ducks quacked and swam to get the bread. Tom and Lily laughed and clapped. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud splash. They looked and saw a big green head with sharp teeth coming out of the water. It was an alligator! It opened its mouth and snapped at the ducks. The ducks flew away, but one was too slow. The alligator caught it and dragged it under the water. + +Tom and Lily screamed and ran back to their mom. They were very scared and sad. Their mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, it's okay. The alligator was hungry and it was just doing what it does. It didn't mean to hurt the duck. Let's go to another part of the park, okay?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and followed their mom. They saw a big hill with snow on it. It was icy and slippery. They wanted to slide down the hill, so they asked their mom for some sleds. + +"Here you go, but be careful. Don't go too fast or too far. There might be a fence or a tree at the bottom of the hill," their mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and took the sleds. They climbed to the top of the hill and sat on the sleds. They pushed themselves and slid down the hill. They felt the wind and the snow on their faces. They laughed and shouted. + +Suddenly, they saw a big fence with barbed wire at the bottom of the hill. They tried to stop, but they were going too fast. They were going to crash into the fence. They were very scared and sorry. They closed their eyes and prayed, "Please, please, please, don't let us get hurt. Please, please, please, help us." + +Then, they felt something soft and warm catch them. They opened their eyes and saw a big brown dog with a red collar. It was a friendly dog. It had run to the fence and jumped over it. It had caught Tom and Lily in its fur and stopped them from hitting the fence. It licked their faces and wagged its tail. + +Tom and Lily smiled and hugged the dog. They were very happy and thankful. Their mom came and said, "Wow, what a brave and kind dog. It saved you from the fence. You are very lucky. Let's go and find its owner, okay?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and followed their mom. They petted the dog and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are our hero. We love you." The dog barked and wagged its tail. It was happy too. +Lily loved to draw dragons. She had many pictures of dragons on her wall. She liked to make them different colors and shapes. She thought dragons were cool and fun. + +One day, she brought her best dragon picture to school. She wanted to display it for everyone to see. She was very proud of her work. She put it on the board with a big smile. + +But Tommy did not like dragons. He thought they were scary and mean. He saw Lily's picture and made a face. He said, "Dragons are ugly and stupid. Your picture is ugly and stupid too. You are a bad drawer." + +Lily felt very sad and angry. She did not like Tommy's words. She said, "No, you are wrong. Dragons are beautiful and smart. My picture is beautiful and smart too. You are a bad talker." + +They started to argue and shout. The teacher heard them and came over. She asked, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Tommy told her what they said. The teacher looked at the picture and said, "Lily, you have a very good imagination. You can draw whatever you want. Your dragon is very creative and colorful. You are a good drawer." + +Then she turned to Tommy and said, "Tommy, you have a different opinion. You do not have to like dragons. But you do not have to be rude and mean. You can say what you think without hurting others. Your words are very hurtful and unkind. You are a bad talker." + +She made Tommy apologize to Lily and take down her picture. She said, "Lily, you can display your picture somewhere else. Maybe in the library or the art room. There are many people who would like to see it and appreciate it. You are a lucky girl to have such a talent." + +Lily thanked the teacher and smiled. She felt better and happy. She took her picture and went to the library. She found a nice spot and displayed it. She hoped other people would like it too. + +The moral of the story is: You should respect other people's feelings and opinions, even if they are different from yours. You should not say mean things to hurt them. You should be proud of your own abilities and interests, and share them with others who appreciate them. +Tom and Mia are friends who like to jog in the park. They jog fast and slow, up and down, and have fun. One day, they see a big tree with many acorns on the ground. They want to pick some acorns and play with them. + +"Look, Mia, acorns!" Tom says. "Let's get some!" + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. There is a squirrel there. He might not like us taking his acorns." Mia says. + +They go near the tree and start to pick some acorns. They find big ones, small ones, shiny ones, and brown ones. They put them in their pockets and hands. They are happy. + +But the squirrel is not happy. He sees Tom and Mia taking his acorns. He thinks they are stealing his food. He gets angry. He runs down the tree and makes a loud noise. + +"Hey, you, stop! Those are my acorns! Go away!" The squirrel says. + +Tom and Mia are scared. They drop some acorns and run away. The squirrel chases them. He is fast and angry. + +"Help, Mia, help! The squirrel is after us!" Tom says. + +"Run, Tom, run! He is very mad!" Mia says. + +They jog as fast as they can. They jog away from the tree, away from the squirrel, and away from the acorns. They jog to the other side of the park, where there is a bench. They sit on the bench and catch their breath. + +"Wow, that was scary!" Tom says. + +"Yes, it was. I think we should not take acorns from the squirrel. He needs them more than we do." Mia says. + +"You are right, Mia. He was just protecting his food. We should say sorry to him." Tom says. + +They look at the tree. They see the squirrel on a branch. He is holding an acorn and looking at them. He is still angry. + +"Sorry, squirrel, sorry!" Tom and Mia say. "We did not mean to take your acorns. We just wanted to play with them.

He said, "What are you doing, Lily? The flowers aren't stupid - they need to be watered!" He grabbed a watering can and helped Lily water the flowers. + +Lily was so happy!

He spotted something brown up ahead. Jack hopped closer and noticed it was a big trap. He pushed against it to see if he could fit in, but it was too tight. + +"Where can I find dinner?" Jack asked himself. + +He kept hopping and, soon enough, he noticed a small opening in the ground with a bit of brown fur poking out. Jack hopped over to the hole and looked down. + +"Dinner!" shouted Jack. + +He carefully shoved himself inside and squeezed through. Before he knew it, he was face to face with a big, brown rabbit! + +"What happened?" the rabbit asked. + +Jack explained that he was looking for dinner when he saw the trap and tried to fit inside, but it wasn't big enough. The rabbit was friendly and told Jack that it was lucky he didn't fit - the trap was a trick set by the farmer! + +Jack thanked the rabbit, and together they hopped out of the hole and found dinner in the forest. Jack was glad he didn't fit in the trap, otherwise he wouldn't have met his new friend! +Once there was a boy named Tom who was very curious. Tom wanted to learn more and more every day. He found a file in the attic. Tom was very excited about the file and wanted to open it. + +But when he opened it, Tom felt scared. He saw big words he didn't know and lots of numbers. He was very fearful. + +Tom went to his teacher, Mrs. Jane, and asked her if she could help. She said she would help but it was up to Tom if he wanted to learn what the file was about. + +Tom was filled with courage and he said "Yes!" He followed Mrs. Jane to her office and she showed him the file. She explained to Tom that the file was a map of his town and it showed him how to get around. + +Tom was so excited. He thanked Mrs. Jane for helping him and said he was looking forward to exploring his town. Mrs. Jane smiled and told Tom to be careful. + +Tom was now filled with hope instead of fear.

He started to cry and shouted for his mom. + +Right then, Little Billy heard a voice say, "I'm here! Don't cry!" It was his mom coming to rescue him! She picked him up, hugged him tight, and took him home. + +Once they got home, Billy's mom helped him wash off. She told him the storm was just a little bit of wind and water and it didn't mean to hurt him. + +Little Billy felt much better after being washed and felt safe with his mom. He thanked her for coming and said he loved her very much. + +His mom smiled and said, "I love you too!" +Once upon a time, there was a small humble temple. It was made of bricks and it had a lot of windows. It was a place of peace and beauty. + +One day, a small boy called Joe went to the temple. He looked carefully around and noticed that the door was closed. He knocked on the door, but nobody came to answer. + +Then, Joe saw an old man walking nearby. Joe went to the old man and asked him what was behind the temple door. + +The old man smiled at Joe and said, “If you open the door with respect, you will find something special inside.†+ +So Joe thanked the old man, and then he opened the door carefully.

Everywhere she looked, it was nowhere to be found. Then, one day the little girl heard a quiet whisper. It said, "Follow me". + +The little girl followed the whisper, carefully tiptoeing through a small forest. At the end of the path, she saw an old castle. On the door of the castle was a big, big lock. + +The little girl studied the lock for a while. Then, she remembered something important. The whisper had said, "Follow me". And the whisper had also said, "Unlock what has been locked." + +The little girl believed that the lock was meant for her to open. She tried her best and, eventually, she was able to unlock it.

He was so excited he ran to his mom to show her what he had found. + +"Mom," he said proudly, "I found a key!" + +"Good job, Tom," she said. "That must be the key to unlock the door. Let's see if it works." + +Tom was so excited that he ran to the door and put the key in the lock. He turned the key and suddenly he heard a click.

It belonged to an old man, who was leaning against a tree. + +"You're not supposed to be wearing that crown, young lady," the old man said sternly, pointing at Lily. + +Lily felt scared. She didn't know what to do, so she took the crown off her head and said "sorry". + +The old man's face softened and he said, "You look very beautiful wearing a crown. That one is very special and it is meant for someone very special. I'm sure you know who that is." He then got up and walked away. + +Lily thought about this for a long time. She knew that the special person was her Daddy. She was so grateful for the old man's kindness, and she wanted to thank him. + +The next day, Lily prepared a beautiful flower crown and rode her bike to the old man's house. She knocked on the door, and the old man answered. + +Lily said, "This is for you, mister.

Only when you are gentle and kind can you appreciate the beauty of the world." + +So Jack brushed the dirt off the poem carefully and read it slowly.

He found a really useful parking spot in the forest and was so happy. + +One day, he went to the same spot and there was another car parked there.

She loved to explore the world around her and was often found running around and having fun. + +One day, Sally came across a big fountain in the park. She was so excited to look at the fountain and dance around in the water. But when she tried to splash around, she found it too boring. She started to hate the fountain and ran away grumbling. + +That night, Sally's mum sat with her and said, "Sally, why don't you like the fountain? She replied, "It's too boring, I don't want to play in it." + +Mum chuckled and said, "Sometimes, things can look boring from the outside but if you take the time to explore, you can find a lot of fun afterwards. Just give it a try!" + +The next day, Sally went back to the fountain and tried again. This time, it was so much fun! Sally had a great time playing and laughing with her friends. + +This taught Sally a valuable lesson - don't judge a book by its cover and explore every possibility. +One day, a little girl named Anna was playing in her bedroom, when she saw something very strange. On the shelf, there was a big tank with colorful fish inside. + +Anna was very excited, so she asked her mom, "what is that tank?" + +Her mom said, "That's a fish tank.

"What's this?" he asked Bobby. + +"It's my projector," Bobby explained. "I opened the box and put my film inside." + +His dad smiled. "That's very clever of you Bobby.

Bobby was mesmerized by the beautiful images dancing on his wall. It was the best afternoon ever! +John was playing with his toys in the kitchen, when he found something very interesting in one of the drawers. He picked it up and saw that it was a special box. Opening it, he saw that it contained a magical shrinking potion. John thought it looked like great fun so he decided to use it. + +He took the potion outside to the garden and spilled it all over his toy car. Almost immediately, the car began to shrink. John was so amazed. He ran back inside, shouting to his mum. + +“Mummy, mummy! Look what I did! My toy car shrunk!†+ +His mum rolled her eyes. She knew it was the potionJohn had found in the kitchen, and she knew he was stubborn and wouldn’t listen to reason. She sighed and shook her head. + +“John, be a good boy and please don’t make any more shrink potions.†+ +But John was determined. He knew how to make more potions now, and he had to prove to his mum that he was a good scientist. + +So, despite his mum's warnings, John went back to the kitchen and started making more shrinking potions. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved to sing. Everywhere she went, she liked to sing loud and happy songs. +One day, she was walking along, singing away, when she stopped in her tracks. What was that? She had heard something coming from the bushes! Cautiously, she stepped forward and found a black bird. + +The bird opened its beak and began to sing. It was a lovely song that filled the air. The little girl smiled and clapped her hands in delight. The bird flapped its wings and looked at her. + +The little girl quickly ran back to her house and grabbed some paper and crayons.

One day, their mom said it was time to go to the beach. So, they grabbed their beach things and ran out the door. + +On the way there, they saw an enormous mud puddle. Inside was a small fish. His fin was all stuck in the thick mud and he couldn't get out! So, the two kids quickly jumped into the mud and tried to save him. + +They pulled and pulled, but nothing seemed to work. Then, their mom came up with an idea. Together they took a large stick and fished him out. + +The little fish happily jumped in the air, showing his appreciation!

She wanted to make the crazy card part of her game. She said to the card, “Will you come and play with me?" + +But the card didn't answer. It just lay there. Lila waited and waited, but the card stayed still. Finally, she gave up and said, "I guess you don't feel like playing." + +But then the card spoke! It said, "No, I don't feel like playing. I just like to lie here and watch." + +Lila was so surprised! She didn't know the card could talk. She thought the card was so cool.

He went to the local orphanage and gave the cube to the children there. He saw their smiles from the joy of getting this special cube. + +The wealthy man heard the story of the cub and was amazed. He learned that money was not the only way to find happiness, and he was happy to have it his way. The moral of this story is that it's better to give than to receive. +Once there was a small spark. It didn't know what it was and where it came from. All it wanted to do was to explore the world and see what it could see. As the spark drifted around, some rough clouds started to form. "You can't go any further," they said. "Go back now." + +But the spark didn't want to go back. It wanted to keep going and find out more. This made the clouds angry and they stood in the way, blocking the spark from continuing. + +"Don't be so mean," said the spark. "We all come from the same place and we should be kind to each other." + +The rough clouds thought about what the spark said and agreed. They opened up and allowed the spark to pass. + +The spark learned an important lesson that day about being kind and understanding to all. Whether we are small, like the spark, or big and powerful, like the clouds, we should always be kind and treat each other with respect. +Timmy was running through the playground, filled with joy. But then, he spotted something sparkly in the corner. It was a very shiny toy car! He ran towards it and picked the toy up, but then he sighed.

Let's go find something real.†+ +Timmy grabbed his mother's hand and they started to walk away. But as they left, Timmy saw a cloud of dust fly up around the toy car. + +“Look!†he exclaimed.

On the way he passed a lake, where the little duck saw a broken boat. + +He said to himself, "I'm going to get in there and pretend I'm the captain of my own ship!" + +The duck stepped inside the boat but, because it was old and broken, one of the boards gave way underneath him and the poor duck fell in the lake. + +Just then, a friendly voice said, "Are you OK, little duck?" + +It was a kind man who was fishing nearby.

That ball is really big, and it could cause some enormous trouble!†+ +The bird tried to calm the elephant “Don’t worry, I will be careful! Let’s just try it. I am sure it will be fun!†+ +The elephant thought for a few seconds, then said “Okay! Let’s do it†+ +So the two friends started to practice and prepare their show. And they did it! Everyone in the forest was cheering, so proud of them. + +They had lots of fun, and they learned that if they worked together they could do anything! +Once there was a little boy named Paul.

She hugged her mom and began to play with her new toy. + +As she played with the toy, she felt calmer and ready to take on the test. She put the toy aside and confidently walked up to the test. + +When she was done, her mom gave her a hug and said, "You did great!

They looked disappointed and explained to them why it was wrong to mail a mystery. + +"You have to think about other people and be respectful," said their parents. + +Tommy and Timmy learned their lesson and promised to never do anything naughty again. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to think before we act to make sure we don't do anything wrong and hurt people's feelings. +Once upon a time there was a boy called Tom.

They had many dolls, but Lily's favorite was a pink doll with a blue dress. She called her doll Rose. Tom's favorite was a brown doll with a green hat. He called his doll Jack. + +One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their dolls. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to explore the hole, so they put their dolls on the grass and went to the tree. They found a bird's nest with three eggs inside. They were very curious and wanted to touch the eggs. + +"Can we borrow the eggs?" Lily asked Tom. + +"No, we can't," Tom said. "They belong to the bird. If we take them, the bird will be sad and the eggs will be dead." + +"But I just want to see them for a little while," Lily said.

Their dad was a fisherman who knew how to catch big fish.

Can we still be friends?" he said. + +Tim and Lily reached him and saw the fish on the ground. They were still angry and sad, but they also saw Chew's sad eyes and wagging tail.

I understand. I will be a good boy. I will be a good brother. I will be a good soldier." + +The moral value of the story is: Be kind and share with others, or you will lose what you love.

She saw the broken glass and Lily crying. She was angry and worried. She picked up Lily and hugged her. She checked if she was hurt. She was not. + +Mommy said, "Lily, you are a bad girl. You should not touch Mommy's glass. It is dangerous. You could cut yourself. You made a big mess. You have to say sorry." + +Lily said, "Sorry, Mommy. I was curious. I wanted to see the glass. I did not mean to break it. I love you, Mommy." + +Mommy said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to listen to Mommy. You have to be careful. You have to obey the rules. Now, help me clean up the glass. And no more playing with Mommy's things." +Anna and Ben went to the farm with their mom. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and horses. But Anna and Ben liked the goats best. The goats had horns, beards and funny noises. + +"Can we feed the goats, mom?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Some goats might bite," mom said. She gave them some carrots and apples to share with the goats. + +Anna and Ben walked to the fence where the goats were. They saw a big goat, a small goat, a brown goat and a white goat. But they also saw a unique goat. The unique goat had spots of different colors, like a rainbow. + +"Wow, look at that goat!" Ben said. "It is so pretty!" + +"I want to feed that goat," Anna said. She held out a carrot to the unique goat. + +The unique goat came closer and sniffed the carrot. Then it opened its mouth and bit the carrot. But it also bit Anna's finger! + +"Ow!" Anna cried. "The goat bit me!" + +Mom ran to Anna and checked her finger. It was not bleeding, but it was red and sore. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. Are you okay?" mom asked. + +"It hurts, mom," Anna said. + +Mom hugged Anna and gave her a band-aid. She also gave her a kiss and a cookie. + +"Sometimes goats bite, even the unique ones. They don't mean to hurt you, they just want the food. But you have to be gentle and careful with them," mom said. + +"I know, mom. I still like the goats, but I will be more careful next time," Anna said. + +Ben came to Anna and gave her a hug. He also gave her half of his apple. + +"Here, Anna. You can feed the other goats with this. They are nice and won't bite you," Ben said. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother," Anna said. + +Anna and Ben smiled and fed the other goats. They had fun at the farm, even with the unique goat that bit. +Lily and Tom were playing in the farm. They liked to see the animals and feed them. They saw cows, sheep, chickens and horses. They also saw a big pig. The pig was very ugly. It had a dirty pink skin, a long nose and small eyes. It made loud noises and smelled bad. + +"Look at the pig!" Lily said. "It is so ugly!" + +Tom nodded. He did not like the pig. He wanted to see the horses. They were pretty and fast. He ran to the fence where the horses were. Lily followed him. + +They saw a brown horse and a white horse. They had long hair and shiny coats. They ate grass and hay. They looked at Lily and Tom and made soft noises. + +"Hello, horses!" Lily said. She wanted to touch them. She climbed on the fence and reached out her hand. The white horse came closer and sniffed her hand. Lily smiled. + +Tom wanted to touch the brown horse. He also climbed on the fence and stretched his hand. But the brown horse did not come closer. It moved away and kicked the fence. Tom was scared. He fell off the fence and landed on the ground. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. He hurt his knee and his elbow. He started to cry. + +Lily saw Tom and jumped off the fence. She ran to him and knelt beside him. She hugged him and said, "Are you okay, Tom?" + +Tom nodded. He was still crying. He showed Lily his knee and his elbow. They had scratches and dirt. + +Lily said, "Don't cry, Tom. I will help you. We will go to Mom and she will clean your knee and your elbow. She will put a band-aid on them and they will feel better." + +Tom stopped crying. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister." + +Lily smiled. She said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good brother." + +They held hands and walked to Mom. They left the ugly pig and the mean horse behind. They liked the other animals better. They had fun in the farm. +Lily was a bird who lived in a cage. She did not like the cage. She wanted to fly in the sky and see new things. But the cage was locked and she could not get out. + +One day, a boy came to the cage. He had a key in his hand. He said, "Hello, bird. Do you want to be my friend? I can take you out of the cage and play with you." + +Lily was happy. She thought the boy was nice. She said, "Yes, please. I want to be your friend. I want to see the world." + +The boy opened the cage and took Lily out. He held her in his hand and smiled. He said, "You are a pretty bird. I will call you Fluffy." + +Lily felt scared. She did not want to be called Fluffy. She did not want to be held. She wanted to fly. She said, "No, no. Let me go. I want to fly. I want to be free." + +The boy did not listen. He said, "No, no. You are my bird. You will stay with me. I will give you food and toys and love." + +Lily tried to escape. She flapped her wings and pecked his hand. But the boy was strong. He held her tight and put her back in the cage. He said, "Bad bird. You are not nice. You will learn to love me." + +Lily cried. She did not love the boy. She loved the sky. She wanted to fly. But the cage was locked and she could not get out. She lost her freedom. She gained a cage. It was difficult. +Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has a purple dress and purple shoes. Anna likes purple. It is her best color. + +One day, Anna and Lily want to have a tea party. Anna puts a tablecloth on the floor and sets out cups and plates. She fills a teapot with water and pretends it is tea. She gives Lily a cup and says, "Here you are, Lily. Do you like your tea?" + +Lily nods and smiles. She likes to play with Anna. She says, "Thank you, Anna. Your tea is very good. Can we have some cake too?" + +Anna says, "Yes, of course. I have a cake for us. It is a chocolate cake with cream and cherries. Do you like chocolate cake, Lily?" + +Lily nods and smiles again. She likes chocolate cake. She says, "Yes, I do. Chocolate cake is yummy. Can we have a candle on the cake too?" + +Anna says, "Yes, we can. I have a candle for us. It is a purple candle. Do you like purple candles, Lily?" + +Lily nods and smiles even more. She likes purple candles. She says, "Yes, I do. Purple candles are pretty. Can we light the candle and make a wish?" + +Anna says, "Yes, we can. But we need a match to light the candle. Do you have a match, Lily?" + +Lily shakes her head and frowns. She does not have a match. She says, "No, I don't. Where can we find a match, Anna?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She remembers that her mom has matches in the kitchen. She says, "I know. We can go to the kitchen and ask mom for a match. She will help us light the candle. Come on, Lily. Let's go." + +Anna and Lily get up and hold hands. They walk to the kitchen and find mom. They show her the cake and the candle and ask for a match. Mom smiles and says, "What a lovely cake and candle. Are you having a tea party?" + +Anna and Lily nod and smile. They say, "Yes, we are. We need a match to light the candle and make a wish. Can you help us, mom?" + +Mom says, "Of course, I can. Here is a match. Be careful, it is hot. What are you going to wish for, Anna and Lily?" + +Anna and Lily look at each other and whisper. They have the same wish. They say, "We wish to be best friends forever." + +Mom says, "That is a wonderful wish. I hope it comes true. Now, blow out the candle and enjoy your cake." + +Anna and Lily blow out the candle and clap. They hug mom and thank her. They go back to the floor and eat their cake. They are happy. They are best friends. They have a purple candle. They have a tea party. They have fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They see a big swing with two seats. Anna says, "Let's go on the swing, Ben!" + +They run to the swing and sit on the seats. Anna says, "I will push you first, Ben. Hold on tight!" She gets off her seat and pushes Ben. Ben goes up and down. He feels the wind on his face. He says, "Whee! This is fun, Anna! Thank you for pushing me!" + +Anna says, "You're welcome, Ben. Now it's my turn. Can you push me, Ben?" Ben says, "Yes, I can, Anna. I will push you hard. Are you ready?" Anna says, "Yes, I am, Ben. Push me, push me!" + +Ben gets off his seat and pushes Anna. Anna goes up and down. She feels the sun on her hair. She says, "Wow! This is great, Ben! You are a good pusher!" + +They take turns pushing each other on the swing. They laugh and smile. They are happy. They are happy friends. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They had a lot of fun in the summer, when the sun was warm and the sky was blue. + +One day, they saw a big sign that said "Fair". It had pictures of balloons, clowns and rides. They wanted to go to the fair and see all the things. They asked their moms if they could go. + +"Yes, you can go, but you have to stay together and be careful," their moms said. "We will pick you up at four o'clock." + +Lily and Ben were very happy. They ran to the fair and bought tickets. They saw a lot of people and colors and noises. They went on the merry-go-round, the bumper cars and the Ferris wheel. They ate cotton candy and popcorn. They laughed and smiled. + +Then, they saw a big tent that said "Magic Show". They wanted to see the magic show. They went inside the tent and sat on the chairs. They saw a man with a hat and a wand. He said he was a magician and he could do amazing tricks. + +"Who wants to be my helper?" he asked. + +Lily raised her hand. She wanted to be the helper. The magician smiled and said, "Come here, little girl. You are very brave." + +He took Lily by the hand and led her to a big box. He said he was going to make her disappear and reappear. He told Ben to watch carefully. + +He put Lily inside the box and closed the lid. He waved his wand and said some words. He opened the lid and said, "Ta-da!" + +But Lily was not there. The box was empty. The magician looked surprised and scared. He said, "Oops, something went wrong. I don't know where she is." + +Ben was shocked and sad. He cried and shouted, "Where is Lily? Bring her back!" + +The magician said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know how to bring her back. I'm not a real magician. I'm just a fake." + +He ran away and left the tent. Ben was alone and lost. He did not know what to do. He missed Lily. He wished they never went to the fair. He wished they stayed in the park. He wished it was not summer. He wished it was all a bad dream. +Lily liked to zoom around the house with her toy car. She made loud noises as she pretended to be a racer. She zoomed past the kitchen, the living room, and the bedroom. She zoomed so fast that she did not see her brother Ben playing with his violin. + +Ben loved his violin. He got it for his birthday from Grandma. He liked to play songs and make music. He was careful with his violin. He did not want to break it or scratch it. He put it in a thick case when he was not playing. + +Lily zoomed into Ben's room and bumped into his violin case. The case fell off the bed and hit the floor. Ben heard a loud crash and ran to his room. He saw Lily and his violin case on the floor. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Ben shouted. "You almost broke my violin!" + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "I was zooming with my car. I did not see your violin." + +Ben opened his case and checked his violin. He was relieved to see that it was not broken. He picked it up and hugged it. + +"Lily, you have to be more careful," Ben said. "My violin is very important to me. It is not a toy. You could have hurt it." + +"I know, Ben," Lily said. "I'm sorry. I won't zoom in your room again. Can I see your violin?" + +Ben smiled and showed Lily his violin. He explained how it worked and how he played it. He played a song for Lily. Lily liked the song. She clapped her hands and said, "Wow, Ben, you are very good. Your violin is very nice. Can I try it?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He decided to let Lily try his violin. He helped her hold it and showed her how to use the bow. Lily tried to play the violin. She made some funny noises. She giggled and said, "This is hard. But it is fun. Thank you, Ben." + +Ben laughed and said, "You're welcome, Lily. Maybe you can be a violinist too. But you have to practice a lot. And you have to be gentle with the violin. And you have to zoom somewhere else." + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, Ben. I will. I love you, Ben." + +"I love you too, Lily," Ben said. They hugged and played some more. They were happy. +Sam was miserable. He had a big ouch on his knee from falling off his bike. He could not go outside and play with his friends. He had to stay in his room and relax. He did not like to relax. He liked to run and jump and have fun. + +His mom gave him a screen to watch. She said it would make him feel better. She said it had a funny show with animals and jokes. Sam did not want to watch the screen. He wanted to watch his friends. He could see them from his window. They were playing with his bike. He felt angry and sad. + +He turned on the screen. He saw a lion and a mouse. The lion was big and scary. The mouse was small and cute. The lion was chasing the mouse. Sam thought the lion would eat the mouse. He felt sorry for the mouse. He wanted the mouse to escape. + +But then something happened. The lion stepped on a thorn. He roared with pain. He could not run anymore. He lay down and cried. The mouse heard the lion. He stopped running. He turned around and saw the lion. He felt sorry for the lion. He wanted the lion to feel better. + +He went to the lion. He pulled out the thorn with his teeth. He licked the lion's wound. The lion stopped crying. He smiled at the mouse. He thanked the mouse. He said the mouse was his friend. The mouse smiled back. He said the lion was his friend. They hugged and played. + +Sam watched the screen. He saw the lion and the mouse. He saw them being kind and happy. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He forgot about his ouch. He forgot about his bike. He forgot about his friends. He smiled and relaxed. He liked to relax. He liked to watch the screen. He liked the funny show with animals and jokes. He was not miserable anymore. He was happy. +Timmy was a mighty boy who liked to play with his toys and run in the park. He hated when his mom made him do things he did not want to do, like brushing his teeth or going to bed. One day, his mom gave him an envelope and told him to write a thank you note to his grandma for the birthday gift she sent him. + +"Mom, I don't want to write a note. I want to play with my truck," Timmy said. + +"Timmy, you have to be polite and say thank you to grandma. She loves you and she sent you a nice gift. Writing a note is easy and fun. Look, I have stickers and crayons for you to decorate the envelope," his mom said. + +"Mom, I hate writing. Writing is hard and boring. I don't need stickers and crayons. I have my truck and it is cool and fast," Timmy said. + +"Timmy, you are being rude and ungrateful. Grandma will be sad if you don't write a note. How would you feel if you sent someone a gift and they did not say thank you?" his mom said. + +"Mom, I don't care. I don't want to write a note. I want to play with my truck. Leave me alone," Timmy said. + +He took the envelope and threw it on the floor. He ran to his room with his truck and slammed the door. His mom sighed and picked up the envelope. She was angry and disappointed with Timmy. She decided to call grandma and tell her what happened. Maybe grandma could help Timmy learn to be more respectful and appreciative. +Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the old house. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Tom. She opened doors and peeked under beds, but she could not find him. + +She heard a giggle from the attic. She ran up the stairs and saw a small window. She thought Tom must be hiding there. She pushed the window open and climbed out. She saw Tom sitting on the roof, waving at her. + +"Ha ha, I found you!" Lily shouted. She tried to catch Tom, but she slipped on the tiles. She grabbed a cobweb that was hanging from the roof. The cobweb was sticky and icky. It stuck to her hair and face. Lily screamed and let go of the cobweb. + +Tom saw Lily covered in cobweb and laughed. He thought it was funny. Lily felt embarrassed and angry. She did not like being laughed at. She threw the cobweb at Tom and hit him in the eye. Tom stopped laughing and rubbed his eye. He did not like being hit by cobweb. + +"Ow, that hurt!" Tom said. "Why did you do that?" + +"Because you laughed at me!" Lily said. "You are mean!" + +"No, I'm not!" Tom said. "You are silly!" + +They started to argue and forgot about the game. They did not hear their mom calling them from downstairs. She came up to the attic and saw them on the roof. She was shocked and scared. She told them to come down right now. They obeyed and climbed back in. Their mom scolded them for being naughty and dangerous. She told them to never go on the roof again. She also told them to clean the cobweb from their hair and face. They said sorry and did as they were told. They felt ashamed and sorry. They decided to play a different game next time. +Sara is a girl who likes to draw. She has many crayons of different colors. Her favorite color is green. She likes to draw trees, frogs, and grass with her green crayon. + +One day, Sara wants to draw a big picture for her mom. She takes a big paper and her green crayon. She starts to draw a big tree with many leaves. She draws a big frog on the tree. She draws some grass under the tree. She is very happy with her picture. + +She shows her picture to her mom. "Look, mom, I drew a picture for you!" she says. + +Mom looks at the picture and smiles. "Wow, Sara, this is a beautiful picture! You are very good at drawing!" she says. + +Sara feels proud and happy. She hugs her mom and says, "Thank you, mom! I love you!" + +Mom hugs her back and says, "I love you too, Sara! You did a great job! You succeeded in drawing a wonderful picture!" +Ben and Lily were twins, but they were very different. Ben liked to play with cars and trucks, and Lily liked to play with dolls and dresses. One day, they had to share a big toy box in their room. Ben put his cars and trucks on one side, and Lily put her dolls and dresses on the other side. They said, "This is my side, and that is your side. Do not touch my toys!" + +But Ben was curious about Lily's dolls. He wanted to see how they worked. He waited until Lily was out of the room, and then he took one of her dolls. He pulled its arms and legs, and twisted its head. He heard a snap, and the doll's head came off. He tried to put it back, but it would not stay. He was scared. He had broken Lily's doll. He knew he was in trouble. + +He hid the doll under his bed, and hoped Lily would not notice. But Lily did notice. She saw the empty spot in her toy box, and looked for her doll. She found it under Ben's bed, with no head. She was angry. She had loved that doll. She yelled, "Ben, you broke my doll! You are so mean! You are in big trouble!" + +She ran to their mom, and told her what Ben had done. Mom was not happy. She went to their room, and saw the broken doll. She said, "Ben, why did you break Lily's doll? That was not nice. You have to say sorry to Lily, and help her fix her doll. And you have to share your toys with her. You are twins, but you are also friends. You have to be kind to each other, even if you are different." +Lily and Ben were happy. They were going to have a picnic with Mom and Dad. They packed some bread, cheese, fruit and juice in a big basket. They put on their hats and sunscreen and got in the car. + +They drove to the park, where they saw many trees, flowers and birds. They found a nice spot under a big tree and spread a blanket on the grass. They opened the basket and started to eat their yummy food. + +"Look, a squirrel!" Lily said, pointing to a furry animal that ran up the tree. "It has a big tail and brown fur. Can we feed it?" + +"Maybe, but be careful. Squirrels are shy and fast. They might run away if you get too close," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben took some bread and cheese and walked slowly to the tree. They held out their hands and made soft noises. The squirrel looked at them with curious eyes and twitched its nose. It came down a little bit and reached for the food. + +"Wow, it's eating from my hand!" Ben said, feeling happy and proud. "It's so cute and soft!" + +Lily smiled and watched the squirrel. She wanted to touch it, but she was afraid to scare it. She waited until it finished eating and then moved her hand closer. The squirrel sniffed her fingers and then gave her a gentle lick. + +"It likes me!" Lily said, feeling happy and surprised. "It's so friendly and sweet!" + +Mom and Dad watched from the blanket and smiled. They were happy to see their children enjoy the picnic and the nature. They took some pictures and videos of the cute moment. + +Suddenly, a loud noise came from the road. A big truck honked its horn and made a lot of smoke. The squirrel got scared and ran up the tree. It disappeared in the leaves. + +"Where did it go?" Lily asked, feeling sad and confused. "I wanted to say goodbye!" + +"Maybe it will come back later," Ben said, feeling sad and hopeful. "Let's wait and see." + +They went back to the blanket and finished their picnic. They looked at the tree and hoped to see the squirrel again. But they did not. They packed their basket and got ready to leave. + +"Bye, squirrel! Thank you for sharing our picnic! We hope to see you again!" Lily and Ben said, waving to the tree. + +They got in the car and drove away. They were happy to have a picnic with Mom and Dad. They were happy to meet a squirrel. They were happy to have a fun day. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big red strawberry on a plant. They both wanted to eat it. + +"Me first!" Lily said. She ran to the plant and tried to pick the strawberry. But it was too high for her. She jumped and jumped, but she could not reach it. + +"No, me first!" Ben said. He ran to the plant and tried to push Lily away. But she was too strong for him. She pushed him back and he fell on the grass. + +They started to cry and shout. They did not want to share the strawberry. They did not see their mom coming. + +"Hey, hey, what is going on here?" Mom said. She saw the strawberry and the twins. She picked the strawberry and broke it in half. She gave one half to Lily and one half to Ben. + +"Here you go, my sweeties. This is a regular strawberry. It is not special. It is just a fruit. You can have more if you want. But you have to share and be nice to each other. OK?" + +Lily and Ben looked at the strawberry. They felt sorry for being mean. They nodded and said sorry to each other. They ate the strawberry and smiled. It was sweet and juicy. They hugged their mom and thanked her. They learned to share and be nice. They played in the garden and had fun. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in their big house. They have many toys and books and games. But their favorite thing is to rush up and down the stair. The stair is long and has many steps. They pretend they are climbing a mountain or flying a plane or chasing a monster. + +One day, they hear a loud noise from the kitchen. It sounds like a crash and a bang. They wonder what it is. They rush to the stair and start to go down. But they are too fast and they slip and fall. They bump their heads and knees and elbows. They cry and shout. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. "That hurts!" + +"Mom, mom, mom!" Lily says. "Help us!" + +Mom hears them and comes to the stair. She sees them lying on the floor. She is worried and scared. She runs to them and hugs them. She checks if they are hurt. She kisses their boo-boos and wipes their tears. + +"Are you okay, my loves?" Mom says. "What happened?" + +"We heard a noise and we rushed to the stair and we fell and we hurt ourselves," Tom says. + +"We wanted to see what it was and we were too fast and we slipped and we bumped and we cried," Lily says. + +Mom smiles and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. The noise was me. I dropped a pot and a pan. It was an accident. I'm glad you are not badly hurt. But you have to be careful on the stair. It is long and steep and slippery. You have to go slow and hold the rail. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nod and say, "Yes, mom. We understand. We are sorry. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too, my loves. Now, let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies and milk. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Lily smile and say, "That sounds good, mom. Thank you." + +They hold Mom's hand and go to the kitchen. They are happy and safe. They eat their cookies and drink their milk. They forget their pain and their fear. They laugh and talk and play. They are good twins. They are good children.

They have many colors and shapes. They are wrapped with paper and ribbons. + +Anna and Ben say, "Wow! Look at all the presents! Can we open them now, please?" + +Mom and Dad say, "Yes, you can. But be careful. Don't rip the paper too much. And share with each other." + +Anna and Ben nod. They start to open their presents. They are very excited. They find many toys and books and clothes. They say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" They hug Mom and Dad. + +Mom and Dad smile. They say, "You're welcome, Anna and Ben. We're glad you like your presents. You are very successful.

Happy birthday, Anna and Ben!" + +Anna and Ben say, "We love you more than anything too. Happy birthday to us!" +Lena and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars in the garden. One day, Lena's mom said they had to move to a new house far away. Lena was very sad. She did not want to leave Tom. + +"Can I come with you?" Tom asked Lena. + +"No, you have to stay here with your family," Lena said. "But we can write letters and call each other." + +They hugged and said goodbye. Lena got in the automobile with her mom and dad. She looked out the window and saw Tom waving. She waved back and started to weep. + +Tom felt a big hole in his heart. He missed Lena already. He ran to his room and cried on his pillow. He wished he could go with Lena. + +The next day, Tom's mom took him to the park. She wanted to cheer him up. She bought him ice cream and pushed him on the swing. Tom saw some other kids playing with a ball. They looked lively and happy. + +"Hey, do you want to join us?" one of them asked Tom. + +Tom wiped his tears and smiled. He nodded and ran to the ball. He threw it and caught it and laughed. He made some new friends. He still missed Lena, but he felt a little better. He hoped Lena was happy too. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They saw an enormous maze made of green bushes. They wanted to go inside and find the way out. + +"Can we go, Mom?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, but be careful and stay together," Mom said. + +Lila and Ben ran into the maze. They turned left and right and followed the paths. They saw flowers and birds and bugs. They had fun. + +But after a while, they got lost. They could not see Mom or the exit. They were scared. + +"Ben, I don't like this. How do we get out?" Lila said. + +"I don't know, Lila. Maybe we should pray," Ben said. + +"Pray? What is that?" Lila said. + +"It's when you talk to God and ask for help. Mom says God loves us and listens to us," Ben said. + +"Okay, let's try it," Lila said. + +They closed their eyes and held hands. They prayed. + +"Dear God, please help us find the way out of the maze. We are sorry if we did something wrong. We miss Mom and we want to go home. Thank you, God. Amen." + +They opened their eyes and looked around. They saw a sign that said "Exit". They followed it and soon they saw Mom waiting for them. + +"Mom, Mom, we found the way out!"

We prayed to God and He helped us," Lila and Ben said. + +Mom hugged them and smiled. + +"That's wonderful, my darlings. God is good and He hears your prayers. I'm so proud of you," Mom said. + +They left the maze and went to the playground. They played some more and thanked God for their adventure. +Ben and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys and books and games. They liked to play together and have fun. But they also had to do their homework every day. Their mom and dad told them to finish their homework before dinner. They had a clock on the wall to tell them the time. + +One day, Ben and Lily were so busy playing that they forgot about their homework. They did not look at the clock. They did not hear their mom calling them for dinner. They did not notice that it was getting dark outside. They just played and played and played. + +Then, they heard a loud knock on the door. It was their dad. He opened the door and saw them playing. He looked at the clock. It was very late. He was angry. He said, "Ben and Lily, what are you doing? You have not done your homework. You have missed dinner. You have been very bad. You have to go to bed right now. No more playing for you." + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not want to go to bed. They wanted to eat dinner. They wanted to do their homework. They wanted to play some more. They did not want their dad to be angry. They started to cry. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We forgot about the clock. We forgot about our homework. We forgot about dinner. We were having fun. Please do not be mad at us. Please let us play." + +But their dad did not listen. He said, "No, you have to learn your lesson. You have to be responsible. You have to do your homework first. You have to listen to your mom and me. You have to follow the rules. You have to go to bed now. Maybe tomorrow you will be better." + +Ben and Lily felt very sad. They did not like to go to bed. They did not like to make their dad angry. They did not like to be bad. They wished they had looked at the clock. They wished they had done their homework. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had followed the rules. They learned their lesson. They said to each other, "Next time, we will not play too much. We will not forget the clock. We will do our homework first. We will be good." + +The moral of the story is: Do not play too much. Do your homework first. Listen to your parents. Follow the rules. Be good. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the land near their home. The land has many trees and flowers and animals. Tom and Sam like to mark the land with sticks and stones. They make shapes and letters and pictures. + +One day, they see a big bird in the land. The bird is brown and white and has a long neck. The bird makes a loud sound. Tom and Sam are curious. They want to see the bird closer. + +They walk to the bird. The bird sees them and makes another loud sound. The bird is not happy. The bird thinks Tom and Sam are bad. The bird thinks they want to hurt the bird or take the bird's eggs. + +The bird runs to Tom and Sam. The bird pecks at them with its beak. Tom and Sam are scared. They run away from the bird. They drop their sticks and stones. + +They run to their home. They tell their mom and dad what happened. Their mom and dad hug them and say they are safe. They say the bird is a goose. They say the goose is wise. The goose marks the land with its sound. The goose protects the land and its eggs. They say Tom and Sam should not mark the land with sticks and stones. They say they should respect the land and the animals. + +Tom and Sam say they are sorry. They say they will not mark the land again. They say they will be kind to the land and the animals. They say they will be wise like the goose. +Tom and Mia are playing in the sand. They have a spade and a bucket. They want to make a big castle. + +"Look, Mia, I dig a hole with the spade. You fill the bucket with sand and dump it on top." Tom says. + +"OK, Tom, I do that. Then we make a tower and a door and a flag." Mia says. + +They work hard and have fun. They make a big castle with a tower and a door and a flag. They are happy. + +But then a big dog comes. The dog is ugly. It has black fur and yellow teeth and red eyes. It barks loud and runs fast. It jumps on the castle and breaks it. It scatters the sand everywhere. + +"Hey, stop, bad dog! You ruin our castle!" Tom shouts. + +"Go away, ugly dog! You scare us!" Mia cries. + +The dog does not listen. It runs away with the spade in its mouth. It leaves a mess behind. + +Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They look at their broken castle and their lost spade. They hug each other and cry. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they have a big box of blocks. They want to make a long wall with the blocks. + +Lily says, "I want to make the wall on this side of the box. You can make the wall on that side of the box." + +Ben says, "No, I want to make the wall on this side of the box too. This side has more blocks and more colors." + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They pull and push the blocks. They make a loud noise. They are not happy. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lily and Ben fighting over the blocks. + +Mom says, "Lily and Ben, why are you fighting? You have enough blocks for both of you. You can share the blocks and make the wall together. Or you can make different things with the blocks. You can be creative and have fun." + +Lily and Ben look at Mom. They look at the blocks. They look at each other. They feel sorry. + +Lily says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was selfish. You can make the wall on this side of the box if you want." + +Ben says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was greedy. You can make the wall on this side of the box if you want." + +Mom says, "That's very nice of you, Lily and Ben. You are good friends. You can accept each other's choices. Or you can work together and make the wall on both sides of the box. What do you think?" + +Lily and Ben smile. They nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We think that's a good idea. We can work together and make the wall on both sides of the box. We can use all the blocks and all the colors. We can make the longest wall ever." + +Mom says, "That's wonderful, Lily and Ben. I'm proud of you. You are smart and kind. You can have fun and learn. Now, let's see how you make the wall." + +Lily and Ben hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +Mom hugs Lily and Ben. She says, "You're welcome, Lily and Ben. I love you too." + +Lily and Ben start to make the wall. They share the blocks. They talk and laugh. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big doll with long hair. They named her Anna and pretended she was their sister. + +One day, Lily had a wish. She wanted to have long hair like Anna. She took a pair of scissors and cut some of Anna's hair. She tied it to her own head with a ribbon. She looked in the mirror and smiled. + +"Look, Ben, I have long hair now!" she said. + +Ben was angry. He loved Anna and did not like what Lily did. He ran to Lily and pinched her arm hard. + +"Ow! That hurts!" Lily cried. + +"You are bad, Lily! You hurt Anna! Give her hair back!" Ben shouted. + +Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to hurt Anna or Ben. She untied the ribbon and gave Anna's hair back to Ben. She hugged him and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I just had a wish. I wanted to have long hair like Anna. But I know it was wrong. Please don't be mad at me." + +Ben hugged her back and said sorry too. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I should not have pinched you. I was just sad. I love Anna and you. You are my sister. You don't need long hair to be pretty." + +They kissed and made up. They played with Anna again and gave her a new ribbon. They were happy. + +The end. +Lily liked to work with beads and make jewelry. She had many colors and shapes of beads in a big box. She made necklaces and bracelets for her friends and family. She was very good at it. + +One day, Lily wanted to make a special necklace for her mom. She looked for the prettiest beads in her box. She found some shiny blue ones, some sparkly pink ones, and some round white ones. She started to string them together on a thin wire. + +But then, she had a problem. The wire was too short. She could not fit all the beads she wanted on it. She tried to pull the wire to make it longer, but it broke. The beads fell on the floor and rolled away. Lily was very sad and troubled. She did not know what to do. + +She started to cry. Her mom heard her and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken wire and the scattered beads. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't cry, sweetie. It's okay. We can fix it." + +She helped Lily pick up the beads and find a new wire. She showed Lily how to make a knot at the end of the wire, so the beads would not fall off. She let Lily choose the beads she liked and helped her string them together. She made a clasp at the other end of the wire, so the necklace could open and close. + +Lily was very happy and proud. She had made a beautiful necklace for her mom. She put it around her mom's neck and said, "I love you, mom. This is for you." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I love you, too, Lily. This is the best gift ever. Thank you for your hard work and your lovely jewelry." +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play outside, but today it was rain. Rain made everything wet and muddy. Mom said they had to stay inside and behave. + +"Behave means no fun," Ben said. He looked at the window and saw the rain. He wanted to jump in the puddles and make a splash. + +"Behave means no trouble," Lily said. She looked at the books and toys on the floor. She wanted to read and build a castle. + +"Let's play a game," Ben said. He had an idea. He took a big box from the closet and put it on the floor. "This is a boat. We can sail in the rain." + +Lily smiled. She liked boats. She took a sheet from the bed and put it on the box. "This is a sail. We can catch the wind." + +They climbed into the box and pretended to be sailors. They sang songs and waved to the fish. They had fun and behaved. + +Mom came to check on them. She saw the box and the sheet and the happy twins. She smiled too. "You are very clever and creative," she said. "You made a boat that fit in the house. And you behaved very well. I am proud of you." + +Lily and Ben hugged Mom. They were proud too. They liked to play and behave. And they liked the rain. +Sara and Tom went to the park with Mom. They saw many birds by the pond. Sara liked the ducks, but Tom liked the swans. He wanted to touch one. + +"Can I go near the swan, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"No, Tom, they might bite. Stay here with me," Mom said. + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the swan that was standing on the grass. He reached out his hand to pet it. The swan did not like that. It hissed and flapped its wings. It pecked Tom's hand hard. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. He ran back to Mom. His hand was red and sore. + +"I told you not to go near the swan, Tom. You should listen to Mom," Mom said. She hugged Tom and put a band-aid on his hand. + +Sara came over with some bread. She gave some to Tom. + +"Here, Tom, you can feed the ducks. They are nice and gentle. They will not bite you," Sara said. + +Tom smiled and took the bread. He threw some to the ducks. The ducks quacked and ate the bread. Tom felt better. + +"Thank you, Sara. You are a good sister," Tom said. + +Sara and Tom fed the ducks until they ran out of bread. Then they sat on a bench with Mom. They watched the birds swim and fly. The swan was still standing on the grass. It looked sleepy. It tucked its head under its wing. + +"Maybe the swan is sorry for biting you, Tom," Sara said. + +"Maybe," Tom said. He yawned. He was sleepy too. + +"Let's go home, kids. It's time for a nap," Mom said. + +Sara and Tom nodded. They followed Mom to the car. They waved goodbye to the birds. They hoped the swan would have a nice dream. +Ben was an adventurous boy who liked to explore the zoo. He saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and monkeys. He wanted to see the gorillas, but they were far away in a big cage. + +He saw a sign that said "Do not climb". But Ben did not listen. He climbed over the fence and walked towards the gorillas. He thought they looked friendly and fun. + +One of the gorillas saw Ben and came closer. He was big and hairy, but he had a gentle face. He reached out his hand and said "Hello, little human. Do you want to join me?" + +Ben was not afraid. He smiled and said "Yes, please. I want to join you. What is your name?" + +The gorilla said "My name is Koko. I can talk with my hands. Do you want to learn?" + +Ben nodded and said "Yes, please. I want to learn. Teach me, Koko." + +Koko and Ben sat down and started to talk with their hands. They became friends and had a lot of fun. They played, ate, and cuddled. + +But soon, Ben heard his mom calling his name. She was looking for him and she was very worried. She saw him with the gorilla and she was very scared. + +She ran to the fence and shouted "Ben, come back! You are not supposed to be there! It is dangerous!" + +Ben heard his mom and said "Bye, Koko. I have to go. Thank you for being my friend." + +Koko said "Bye, Ben. You are welcome. Come back soon." + +Ben climbed back over the fence and ran to his mom. She hugged him and said "Ben, you are very naughty. You could have been hurt. Do not do that again." + +Ben said "Sorry, mom. I was just curious. Koko was nice. He taught me how to talk with my hands." + +Mom said "I am glad you are safe. But you have to follow the rules. The gorillas are not toys. They are wild animals. They need their space and respect." + +Ben said "I understand, mom. I will not climb again. But can I still visit Koko?" + +Mom said "Maybe. But only from a distance. And only with me." + +Ben said "OK, mom. I love you." + +Mom said "I love you too, Ben." +Tommy and Molly were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. They had a big shovel and a small bucket. + +"Look, Molly, I found a worm!" Tommy said, holding up a long, slimy thing. + +"Wow, Tommy, that's a good find!" Molly said, taking the worm and putting it in the bucket. "Maybe we can find more." + +They dug some more holes, but they did not find any more worms. They found some rocks, some leaves, and some dirt. + +"Hey, what's that?" Tommy said, pointing to a small hill of dirt. "It looks like a bump." + +"Maybe it's a mole," Molly said. "Moles are animals that live under the ground. They have fur and a nose and claws." + +"Can we see it?" Tommy asked, excited. He wanted to see a mole. + +"Maybe, but we have to be careful," Molly said. "Moles are shy and they don't like noise." + +They walked slowly to the hill of dirt. They saw a tiny hole at the top. They bent down and looked inside. + +"Hello, mole," Tommy whispered. "Can you come out and play?" + +There was no answer. They waited for a long time, but the mole did not come out. + +"Maybe he's sleeping," Molly said. + +"Or maybe he's scared," Tommy said. + +They decided to leave the mole alone. They got up and walked back to their holes. + +But Tommy was clumsy. He tripped over the shovel and fell down. He made a loud noise. + +"Ouch!" Tommy cried. + +The mole heard the noise. He poked his head out of the hole. He saw Tommy and Molly. He was curious. + +"Hello, children," the mole said. "What are you doing?" + +Tommy and Molly were surprised. They did not know that moles could talk. + +"Hello, mole," Molly said. "We are playing. We are digging holes and looking for bugs." + +"That sounds fun," the mole said. "Can I join you?" + +Tommy and Molly smiled. They liked the mole. He was friendly. + +"Sure, mole," Tommy said. "You can join us. We have a shovel and a bucket. And we have a worm." + +The mole was happy. He liked worms. He came out of his hole and followed Tommy and Molly. They played together in the garden. They dug holes and looked for bugs. They had a lot of fun. +Jill and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their furry dogs, Spot and Rex. One day, they saw a big tent in the park. It had many colors and lights. They heard music and laughter from inside. + +"Let's go and see what's in there," Jill said. + +"OK, but we have to take our dogs with us," Tom said. + +They walked to the tent and peeked inside. They saw many people wearing funny clothes and masks. They were dancing and singing and having fun. Some of them had drums and flutes and guitars. Jill and Tom felt happy and curious. + +"Wow, look at them!" Jill said. "They are so cool!" + +"They are having a spirit party," a voice said behind them. They turned around and saw a man with a long beard and a hat with feathers. He smiled at them and their dogs. "They are celebrating the spirit of life and nature. Do you want to join them?" + +"Yes, please!" Jill and Tom said. + +The man took them by the hand and led them to the tent. He gave them each a mask and a necklace with beads and shells. He told them to put them on and follow the music. Jill and Tom did as he said. They felt the rhythm and the joy in their hearts. They started to dance with the people and their dogs. They felt like they were part of the spirit party. They had a lot of fun. They made new friends and learned new songs. They thanked the man for inviting them. He told them they were welcome anytime. + +Jill and Tom went back to their homes with their dogs. They told their parents about their adventure. They said they had the best day ever. They dreamed of dancing with the spirit party again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they visit Ben's grandma. Grandma has a big house with many things. Lily sees a pretty doll on a shelf. She wants to play with it. + +"Can I have the doll, please?" Lily asks Grandma. + +"Of course, dear. But be careful. The doll is old and fragile. It was my doll when I was a little girl," Grandma says. + +Lily takes the doll and hugs it. She likes how soft and shiny it is. She shows it to Ben. Ben thinks the doll is boring. He likes cars and trucks better. He sees a red car on the floor. He picks it up and makes zooming noises. + +"Look at my car, Lily. It is fast and loud. Vroom, vroom!" Ben says. + +Lily does not care about the car. She wants to play with the doll. She puts the doll on a chair and goes to get some tea cups. She wants to have a tea party with the doll. She does not see Ben behind her. Ben is careless. He does not look where he is going. He bumps into the chair. The doll falls off and breaks. Its head comes off and its dress tears. + +"Oh no! The doll!" Lily cries. + +"Oops! Sorry, Lily. I did not mean to do that," Ben says. + +Grandma hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees the broken doll and the sad children. She is not angry. She is kind. + +"Don't worry, my dears. Accidents happen. We can fix the doll. I have some glue and some thread. Come, let's go to my sewing room," Grandma says. + +She takes the doll and the children to her sewing room. She glues the head back and sews the dress. She makes the doll look new again. She gives it back to Lily. + +"Here you go, Lily. The doll is fixed. She is as good as new. You can keep her if you like. She needs a loving home," Grandma says. + +Lily is happy. She hugs the doll and Grandma. She says thank you. Ben is sorry. He says sorry too. He gives Lily his car. He says she can play with it if she likes. Lily smiles. She says thank you. She gives Ben a tea cup. She says he can join the tea party if he likes. Ben smiles. He says okay. He likes tea parties too. They play together and have fun. Grandma watches them and smiles. She is glad they are friends. She loves them both. +Sam and Mia are playing with blocks in the living room. They like to build towers and knock them down. But they do not like to share. Sam wants the blue blocks and Mia wants the red blocks. They grab and pull and push each other. + +"Give me that block!" Sam yells. + +"No, it's mine!" Mia yells back. + +They yell so loud that their mom hears them from the kitchen. She comes to the living room and sees the mess. She is not happy. She tells them to stop yelling and to share the blocks. But they do not listen. They keep yelling and fighting. + +"Sam! Mia! Enough!" Mom yells. She is very angry. She takes away the blocks and puts them in a box. She says they cannot play with them until they learn to be nice. + +Sam and Mia are sad and mad. They do not like the result. They cry and pout. They do not talk to each other. They do not talk to mom. They sit on the couch and stare at the wall. + +Mom feels sorry for them. She knows they are just kids. She wants them to be happy and to get along. She thinks of a way to make them feel better. She goes to the kitchen and makes some cookies. She brings them to the living room and puts them on a plate. She smiles and says: + +"Who wants a cookie?" + +Sam and Mia look at mom. They smell the cookies. They see the plate. They forget about the blocks. They forget about the yelling. They forget about being sad and mad. They jump off the couch and run to mom. They hug her and say: + +"Thank you, mom! We love you!" + +They each take a cookie and bite it. It is sweet and soft and yummy. They smile and laugh. They share the cookies and the plate. They are happy and nice. They do not yell anymore. They do not want to be deaf. They want to hear mom and each other. They want to play and have fun. They are friends again. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play at the zoo. They see many animals. They see lions, monkeys, and giraffes. But their favorite animal is the hippo. + +The hippo is big and gray. He has a big mouth and small ears. He likes to swim in the water. He is always hungry. He eats a lot of grass and fruits. + +One day, Lila and Ben go to the zoo. They have a surprise for the hippo. They have a big cake. The cake has candles and sprinkles. It is the hippo's birthday. They want to celebrate with him. + +They go to the hippo's pool. They call his name. "Hippo, hippo, come here! We have something for you!" + +The hippo hears them. He comes out of the water. He sees the cake. He is happy. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lila and Ben! You are very nice. This is the best birthday ever!" + +Lila and Ben sing to him. They sing, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear hippo, happy birthday to you!" + +The hippo blows the candles. He makes a wish. He wishes for more friends like Lila and Ben. He shares the cake with them. They eat and laugh. They have fun. They celebrate the hippo's birthday. They are happy. +One day, a mouse named Milo was looking for food in the forest. He saw a big bush with many red berries. He thought they looked yummy and ran towards them. But he did not see a snake hiding behind the bush. The snake saw Milo and wanted to eat him. + +"Hello, little mouse," the snake said with a sly smile. "Do you want some berries? They are very sweet and juicy. Come closer and I will share them with you." + +Milo was hungry and curious, but he also felt scared. He had heard stories about snakes and how they could hurt mice. He wondered if the snake was telling the truth or lying. He decided to be careful and smart. + +"Thank you, snake, but I don't need any berries," Milo said. "I have a magic power that makes me not hungry. I can shrink myself and fit inside a berry. Then I can eat it from the inside and nobody can see me." + +The snake did not believe Milo. He thought he was making up stories to escape. He wanted to prove him wrong and catch him. He said, "That sounds very strange and impossible. I don't think you can do that. Show me how you shrink yourself and fit inside a berry. Then I will let you go." + +Milo saw his chance to trick the snake. He said, "Okay, I will show you. But you have to close your eyes and count to ten. Then you can open them and see me inside a berry." + +The snake agreed and closed his eyes. He started to count, "One, two, three..." Milo quickly ran away from the bush and hid behind a rock. He waited until the snake finished counting and opened his eyes. The snake looked around and saw no sign of Milo. He realized he had been fooled and felt angry and foolish. + +Milo was happy and proud. He had escaped from the snake and saved himself. He learned that being smart and brave was more important than being big and strong. He also learned that lying was not good, but sometimes it was okay to tell a little fib to protect yourself from danger. He found some other berries that were safe and tasty and ate them with joy. He thanked the forest for his mighty adventure and his magic power. He smiled and said, "I am a very clever and lucky mouse." +Lily liked to examine things. She liked to look at them very closely and see what they were made of. She liked to touch them and smell them and sometimes taste them. She liked to learn new things every day. + +One day, Lily found a paper on the floor. It was pink and shiny and had some words on it. Lily did not know what the words said, but she liked how they looked. She picked up the paper and examined it. She felt how smooth and thin it was. She smelled how sweet and fruity it was. She licked how sour and sticky it was. + +Lily decided she liked the paper very much. She wanted to keep it and play with it. She folded it and tore it and made it into different shapes. She made a hat and a boat and a flower. She put the hat on her head and the boat in her bath and the flower in her hair. + +But then, Lily heard a voice. It was her big sister, Anna. Anna was looking for something. She sounded angry and worried. She said, "Where is my paper? I need my paper! It is very important! It is my homework!" + +Lily felt scared and guilty. She did not know the paper was Anna's homework. She did not know homework was important. She did not want to make Anna angry and sad. She ran to her room and hid under her bed. She took the paper with her and hoped Anna would not find it. She wished she had not examined the paper. She wished she had left it alone. +Lily hated meetings. She had to sit still and listen to grown-ups talk about boring things. She wanted to play with her toys or draw pictures or run outside. But her mom said she had to go to the meeting with her today. It was very important, she said. + +Lily and her mom got in the car and drove to a big building. Lily saw many people in suits and dresses. They all looked serious and busy. Her mom gave her a paper and a crayon and told her to be quiet and draw something. Lily nodded, but she was not happy. + +The meeting started. Lily tried to draw a cat, but she could not focus. She heard the grown-ups say words she did not understand. Words like budget, deadline, strategy, and feedback. She felt dizzy. She looked around and saw a window. She saw birds and trees and clouds. She wished she was outside. + +She had an idea. She got up from her chair and walked to the window. She opened it and stuck her head out. She felt the breeze and smelled the flowers. She smiled. She saw a swing set and a slide in a park nearby. She wanted to go there. + +She turned to her mom and said, "Mom, can we go to the park? Please? I hate this meeting. It makes me dizzy." + +Her mom looked at her with a shocked and angry face. She saw that Lily had opened the window and that everyone in the meeting was staring at them. She felt embarrassed and mad. She grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her back to her seat. She whispered, "Lily, what are you doing? You can't do that. You have to be quiet and behave. This is very rude and disrespectful. You are in big trouble, young lady." + +Lily felt sad and scared. She did not mean to make her mom angry. She just wanted to have some fun. She wished she had stayed in her chair and drawn her cat. She learned a lesson. She hated meetings even more. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were cooks and make food with the pots and pans. But they did not know how to use the stove. It was hot and dangerous. + +One day, Mom was busy in the living room. She did not see Tom and Lily go to the kitchen. They found a big potato on the counter. They wanted to make potato soup. They put the potato in a pot and filled it with water. Then they turned on the stove. + +The water started to boil and make bubbles. The potato was dull and hard. It did not look like soup. Tom and Lily were sad. They wanted to taste their soup. They reached for the pot. + +But then Mom came to the kitchen. She saw the pot on the stove. She saw Tom and Lily's hands. She was scared. She yelled, "Stop! Don't touch the pot! It is hot! It will hurt you!" + +Tom and Lily jumped back. They were scared too. They did not know the pot was hot. They did not want to get hurt. They looked at Mom. She was angry and worried. She turned off the stove and took the pot away. She warned them, "Never play with the stove. It is not a toy. It is dangerous. You could get burned. You could start a fire. You could make a mess. You have to listen to me. I know what is safe and what is not." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry and worried. They did not mean to be bad. They hugged Mom and said, "We are sorry, Mom. We will not play with the stove again. We will listen to you. We love you, Mom." + +Mom hugged them back. She was glad they were not hurt. She was glad they were sorry. She loved them too. She said, "I love you, Tom and Lily. I am happy you are safe. But you have to be careful in the kitchen. It is not a place to play. It is a place to cook. And cooking is not easy. It takes time and skill. And sometimes it takes a potato." +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. One day, she was playing in the garden when she accidentally broke her favorite toy. She was very sad and didn't know what to do. + +But then, her dad came to her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. We can repair your toy." He took the toy and fixed it with some glue. + +Lily was so happy to have her toy back. She hugged her dad and said, "Thank you for repairing my toy!" + +After that, they went inside the house and had some cookies. Lily accidentally dropped some ash on the floor but quickly cleaned it up with a dry cloth. Her dad was proud of her for being so responsible. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy liked to play with his toys and watch cartoons on his TV. One day, Timmy's mom took him to the store to buy some new toys. Timmy was so happy! He wanted to spend all his money on toys. + +When they got home, Timmy's mom started to iron some clothes. Timmy was curious and asked what she was doing. His mom explained that she was using a hot iron to make the clothes smooth. Timmy thought it was cool and wanted to try it, but his mom said it was too dangerous for him. + +Later that day, Timmy and his mom watched a modern cartoon on TV. Timmy loved the bright colors and funny characters. He thought it was the best cartoon he had ever seen. After the cartoon was over, Timmy went to bed, happy and tired from his fun day. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends, a cat and a dog. They loved playing together but sometimes they would argue about silly things. One day, they were playing catch with a ball when the ball got stuck on a hook. The cat tried to get it down but couldn't reach it. + +The dog said, "Don't worry, I'll help you get it down." He jumped and grabbed the ball with his teeth and the hook came off the wall.
