But can I still play with my sword and shield?" + +His mom said, "Of course, you can. But remember, they are only toys. You don't need to fight anyone. You can use them to have fun and pretend.

It was old and dirty, and had holes in it. Sam said, "Look, Mia, a hose! Maybe we can collect it." + +Mia said, "No, Sam, we can't collect a hose. It's too big and heavy. And it's not pretty or fun. It's just a hose." + +Sam said, "But maybe it's an ancient hose. Maybe it's very old and special. Maybe it has a story to tell. Maybe we can learn something from it." + +Mia said, "How can a hose have a story, Sam? It's just a thing that makes water come out. It doesn't talk or think or feel. It's just a hose." + +Sam said, "But maybe it does, Mia. Maybe it remembers all the things it watered and all the people who used it. Maybe it has secrets and surprises. Maybe it's an ancient hose." + +Mia said, "OK, Sam, if you really want to collect the hose, you can. But I don't think it's an ancient hose. I think it's just a hose." + +Sam said, "Thank you, Mia. You're a good sister. Come on, let's try to lift the hose and put it in our box." + +They tried to lift the hose, but it was too big and heavy. They could only drag it a little bit. They decided to leave it on the grass and go look for other things to collect. They forgot about the hose. + +But the hose was not just a hose. It was an ancient hose. It had a story to tell. It remembered all the things it watered and all the people who used it. It had secrets and surprises. It was an ancient hose. And it smiled. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park.

It's too far and there are cars on the road. You need to stay with me or a friend," her mom said. + +"But I can do it, Mom. I know how to ride my bike and follow the rules. Please let me go. I promise I'll be careful and come back soon," Lily said. + +Her mom looked at her and sighed. She knew Lily was growing up and wanted to explore. She also knew the park was not very far and there was a sidewalk all the way. + +"OK, Lily. You can go to the park. But you have to promise me a few things. You have to wear your helmet all the time. You have to look both ways before crossing the street. You have to stay on the sidewalk and not talk to strangers. And you have to be back before lunch. Do you promise?" her mom said. + +"I promise, Mom. I promise all those things. Thank you, Mom. I love you," Lily said. + +She gave her mom a hug and a kiss and rode off to the park.

I broke your pen! I'm sorry, Lily!" Ben cried, dropping the pen. + +Lily looked at the mess. She felt sad and angry. She liked her red pen. It was her favorite.

Well, don't worry, children. It's not your fault. Sometimes we sneeze and we can't help it. It's part of being healthy. And you know what? You can always build another tower. You are very good at building towers. You are successful builders!" Miss Rose says. + +She smiles and hugs Tim and Mia. She helps them pick up the blocks and put them back in the box. She also gives them a tissue and a sticker. + +"Here, Tim, blow your nose and put this sticker on your shirt. It's a tooth sticker. It means you have a strong and bright smile. And you, Mia, you can have a tooth sticker too. You are both very brave and kind. Now, do you want to play something else?" Miss Rose says. + +Tim and Mia nod and smile. They blow their noses and put the stickers on their shirts. They feel better and thank Miss Rose. They decide to play with the cars and make a race. They have fun and forget about the tower. They are still friends and still successful. +Tommy loved to play basketball. He had a big ball that he could bounce and throw. He liked to go to the park with his dad and shoot hoops. Sometimes he played with other kids, but sometimes he was alone. + +One day, he saw a new boy at the park. The boy had a small ball that looked old and flat. He tried to bounce it, but it did not go very high. He tried to throw it, but it did not go very far. He looked sad and bored. + +Tommy wanted to help the boy. He thought of his big ball that was shiny and round. He decided to share it with the boy. He ran over to him and said, "Hi, I'm Tommy. Do you want to play with me? I have a basketball that is very good. You can use it if you want." + +The boy smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Danny. Thank you for being so nice. I don't have a good ball. Mine is old and flat. I would love to play with you and your basketball." + +Tommy and Danny played together for a long time. They bounced and threw the ball. They made friends and had fun. Tommy's dad watched them and was proud of his son. He said, "Tommy, you did a good thing today. You shared your ball with someone who needed it. You made him happy and you made yourself happy. That is what I recommend you to do always. Be kind and generous to others. There is enough for everyone to enjoy." + +Tommy nodded and hugged his dad. He said, "I understand, dad. I like to share. It makes me feel good. And I like to make new friends. Danny is very nice. He said he will come back tomorrow. Can we play again?" + +His dad said, "Of course, son. We can play again. As long as the park is available, we can play basketball. And maybe we can find more friends to join us. The more, the merrier." + +Tommy and Danny waved goodbye and agreed to meet again. They were happy and grateful. They learned that sharing is caring, and that playing together is better than playing alone. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses with their blocks. + +One day, they decided to make a big home with all their blocks. They worked together and used all their blocks to make a home with walls and a roof and a door. They were very proud of their home. + +But then, Lily saw a block that was shiny and sparkly. It was the prettiest block she had ever seen. She wanted to have it for herself. She reached out and took the block from the roof of the home. + +"Hey, that's my block!" Ben shouted. "Give it back!" + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "I saw it first!" + +They started to pull the block from each other. They did not notice that the block was very important for the home. It was the block that helped to balance the roof. Without it, the roof started to wobble and shake. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You are being selfish! You have to share your blocks and play nicely. If you don't, your home will fall down!" + +But Lily and Ben did not listen to their mom. They kept fighting over the block. They did not see that the roof was about to collapse. + +CRASH! + +The roof fell down and knocked down the walls and the door. The home was ruined. All the blocks were scattered on the floor. + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting and looked at their home. They felt sad and sorry. They realized that they had been selfish and foolish. They had lost their home because of one block. + +They hugged each other and said, "I'm sorry. I love you." + +They picked up their blocks and started to build a new home. This time, they agreed to share their blocks and play nicely. They learned their lesson. They knew that balance and teamwork were more important than being selfish. +Sam and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Sam had a big spoon and Mia had a small fork. They made holes and mounds and pretended they were pirates. + +"Look, Mia, I found a treasure!" Sam said, holding up a shiny stone. "It's so pretty and sparkly!" + +"Wow, Sam, can I see?" Mia asked, reaching for the stone. + +But Sam did not want to share. He pulled the stone away and said, "No, it's mine! You can't have it!" + +Mia felt sad and angry. She wanted to see the stone too. She thought Sam was being mean and selfish. She looked around and saw a long, thin thing on the grass. It was a snake. It was green and brown and had a forked tongue. Mia did not know it was a snake. She thought it was a toy. + +She picked up the snake and said, "Fine, Sam, you can keep your stone. I have a better toy. Look, it's a rope that can move!" + +Sam looked at the snake and felt scared. He knew it was a snake. He had seen one on TV. He knew snakes could bite and hurt people. He wanted Mia to drop the snake. + +"Mia, drop it! Drop it now!" Sam shouted. "It's not a toy, it's a snake! It can bite you!" + +But Mia did not listen. She thought Sam was lying. She thought he wanted her toy. She held the snake closer and said, "No, Sam, you're just jealous. This is my toy. It's so cool and funny!" + +The snake did not like being held. It felt scared and angry too. It opened its mouth and bit Mia on the hand. Mia felt a sharp pain and a sour taste in her mouth. She screamed and dropped the snake. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Mia cried. "It bit me! It bit me!" + +Sam ran to Mia and saw the bite mark on her hand. He felt sorry and scared. He did not want Mia to be hurt. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Mia, I'm sorry. I should have shared the stone. Come on, let's go to Mom. She can help you." + +They ran to the house and told Mom what happened. Mom saw the bite and called the doctor. She said they were lucky. The snake was not poisonous. It would not make Mia sick. But it still hurt a lot. She gave Mia some medicine and a bandage. She also gave Sam and Mia some juice and cookies. She said they should be nice and share with each other. She said they should not play with snakes. She said they should be careful in the garden. + +Sam and Mia nodded and said they were sorry. They hugged each other and said they were friends. They ate their cookies and drank their juice. They decided to play with their toys instead of digging in the dirt. They learned their lesson. They did not want to see another snake. +Tom loved to go to the sea with his mom and dad. He liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. Sometimes he saw big fish that jumped out of the water and made loud noises. He learned that they were called dolphins. + +One day, Tom saw a dolphin that was very close to the shore. It looked at him with a friendly eye and made a funny sound. Tom wanted to say hello, so he waved his hand and smiled. The dolphin waved its tail and smiled back. Tom felt happy and curious. + +He asked his mom if he could go closer to the dolphin. His mom said yes, but he had to be careful and hold her hand. They walked slowly into the water until they were near the dolphin. The dolphin was very kind and gentle. It let Tom touch its smooth skin and rub its nose. Tom felt a warm and tickly feeling in his heart. + +The dolphin seemed to recognize Tom as a friend. It stayed with him for a long time, playing and talking. Tom learned some of the dolphin's sounds and tried to copy them. The dolphin laughed and nodded. Tom laughed too. He felt like he had made a new friend. + +Tom and the dolphin had a lot of fun together. They said goodbye with a hug and a kiss. Tom thanked the dolphin for being so kind and nice. The dolphin thanked Tom for being so brave and fun. They promised to see each other again. Tom waved as the dolphin swam away. He felt happy and sad at the same time. He hoped to see the dolphin again soon. +Lily was very happy. It was her birthday. She had a big cake, a pink dress, and many toys. She liked all her toys, but she loved her new doll the most. She named her doll Anna and hugged her all the time. + +But Tom, her big brother, was angry. He did not like Lily's toys. He wanted to play with his own toys, but he could not find them. He looked everywhere, but he could not see them. He thought Lily took his toys. He was very angry. + +He went to Lily's room and saw her playing with Anna. He grabbed Anna from Lily and said, "This is my toy now. You took my toys, so I take your toy. Go away!" + +Lily was very sad. She cried and said, "No, Tom, no! Anna is my toy. She is my birthday gift. Please give her back. I did not take your toys. Please, Tom, please!" + +But Tom did not listen. He ran away with Anna and locked himself in his room. He thought he was smart and happy, but he was not. He was mean and lonely. + +Soon, Mom came home. She saw Lily crying and asked her what happened. Lily told her everything. Mom was very sorry and angry. She went to Tom's room and knocked on the door. She said, "Tom, open the door. I need to talk to you." + +Tom opened the door and saw Mom. He saw Anna in his hand. He felt scared and ashamed. Mom said, "Tom, why did you take Lily's doll? That was very wrong and hurtful. You made Lily very sad on her birthday. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" + +Tom did not know what to say. He looked at Anna and then at Mom. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I was angry because I could not find my toys. But I should not have taken Lily's doll. That was not nice. Can I give her back?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can. And you should. And you should also say sorry to Lily and give her a hug. And then we can help you find your toys. Maybe they are under the bed or in the closet. Come on, let's go." + +Tom followed Mom to Lily's room. He gave Anna back to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should not have taken your doll. She is very pretty and you love her. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Tom, I forgive you. Thank you for giving Anna back. She is my friend and so are you. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Lily, I do. And I'm sorry for making you cry on your birthday. Can I have a piece of your cake?" + +Lily said, "Of course, Tom. You are my brother and I love you. Come on, let's have some cake and share our toys." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's very good, Tom and Lily. I'm proud of you. You learned a very important lesson today. You learned to be kind and honest and to share and forgive. That's what makes a happy family. Happy birthday, Lily. And happy day, Tom." + +The end. +Tim and Mia are friends who like to play with trains. They have a big toy train set with many tracks and cars. They pretend to be the drivers and passengers of the train. + +One day, they decide to make their train go very fast. They push the button that makes the train speed up. They watch the train zoom around the tracks. They hear the train make a loud noise and see steam come out of the engine. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Tim says. "Our train is the fastest in the world!" + +"Yes, it is!" Mia agrees. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to crash." + +They keep playing with the train, making it go faster and faster. They are having a lot of fun. + +But then, they hear a knock on the door. It is Tim's mom. She is nosy. She wants to see what they are doing. + +"Tim, Mia, what are you playing with?" she asks. "It sounds very noisy." + +She opens the door and sees the train set. She sees the train speeding around the tracks. She sees the steam coming out of the engine. + +"Oh, my!" she says. "What a big mess! You have to clean this up. And you have to slow down the train. It is too dangerous." + +Tim and Mia are sad. They don't want to stop playing. They don't want to clean up. They don't think the train is dangerous. They think it is fun. + +"Mom, please, can we play a little more?" Tim begs. "We love our train. It is not a mess. It is a masterpiece." + +"Mom, please, can we keep the train fast?" Mia pleads. "We like the steam. It is not dangerous. It is cool." + +But Tim's mom is not convinced. She shakes her head. She says they have to listen to her. She says they have to be safe and tidy. + +Tim and Mia are not happy. They have to slow down the train. They have to clean up the train set. They have to say goodbye to the steam. + +They hope they can play with the train again soon. They hope they can make it speed up again. They hope Tim's mom will not be so nosy. +Mia was very tired. She had played a lot with her toys and her friends. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She wanted to go to bed, but she had to do something first. + +She went to the bathroom with her mom. She climbed on a stool and reached the sink. She turned on the water and wet her hands. She took some soap and rubbed it on her hands. She made bubbles and smiled. + +She rinsed her hands and turned off the water. She looked at herself in the mirror. She saw her brown hair and her blue eyes. She saw her pink pajamas and her teddy bear. She was thoughtful. She wondered what she would dream about. + +She dried her hands and hugged her mom. She said good night and went to her room. She put her teddy bear on her bed and snuggled under the covers. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of rainbows and stars. She was happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big dog near the fence. The dog is barking loud and jumping up and down. + +"Look, a dog!" Ben says. "Can we pet him?" + +Anna shakes her head. "No, he is too crazy. He might bite us. We should mind him and stay away." + +Ben nods. He does not want to get hurt. He likes nice dogs, not crazy dogs. He follows Anna to the other side of the park. They find a sandbox and make a castle. + +"Look, our castle!" Anna says. "It is so pretty. We are good builders." + +Ben smiles. He likes their castle. He likes playing with Anna. They are friends. They are safe and happy. They do not mind the crazy dog anymore. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lily's mom gives them two cookies. One cookie is big and heavy. The other cookie is small and light. + +Lily wants the big cookie. She thinks it has more chocolate chips. She grabs it and says, "This is mine!" Ben is sad. He likes chocolate chips too. He looks at the small cookie and says, "That's not fair!" + +Lily's mom hears them. She comes to the table and says, "Lily, you need to share. Sharing is nice. How would you feel if Ben took the big cookie and left you the small one?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She remembers how she felt when Ben shared his crayons with her. She feels sorry for Ben. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. You can have some of my cookie. Let's break it in half." + +Lily and Ben break the big cookie in half. They each have a piece that is not too big and not too small. They have the same amount of chocolate chips. They smile and say, "Thank you!" They eat their cookies and enjoy them. Lily's mom is proud of them. She says, "Good job, Lily and Ben. You are good friends. Sharing is fun!" +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in their big building. They lived on the top floor with their mom and dad. Sometimes they took the elevator to go down and see the park or the shops. The elevator had buttons with numbers and pictures. Lily liked to press the buttons and see the lights. + +One day, Lily and Max wanted to go to the park. They put on their coats and hats and ran to the elevator. Lily pressed the button with the picture of a tree. The elevator door opened and they got in. But then, a man with a green shirt and a big bag came in too. He pressed the button with the picture of a car. + +"Hello," Lily said to the man. "We are going to the park. Do you like the park?" + +The man did not answer. He looked at his phone and ignored Lily. Lily felt sad. She tried again. + +"What is in your bag?" Lily asked. "Is it a toy? Can we see it?" + +The man did not answer. He looked at his phone and ignored Lily. Lily felt angry. She pressed the button with the picture of a car again and again. + +"Stop that!" the man said. "You are making the elevator go slow. Leave me alone!" + +Lily did not stop. She pressed the button with the picture of a car more and more. The man got mad. He shouted at Lily and Max. He tried to take the bag away from them. + +But then, the elevator stopped. The lights went off. The door did not open. The man, Lily and Max were stuck in the elevator. + +"Help!" the man yelled. "Get me out of here!" + +Lily and Max did not yell. They did not help. They looked at their coats and hats and ignored the man. They felt happy. They had the bag. They opened it and saw a lot of toys. They played with the toys and waited for mom and dad to come. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a pair of sunglasses on the grass. They were big and shiny and had different colors on them. Sara and Tom thought they were very modern and cool. + +"Let me try them on!" Sara said. She grabbed the sunglasses and put them on her face. She looked at herself in a puddle and smiled. "I look like a star!" + +"No, I want to try them on!" Tom said. He reached for the sunglasses, but Sara moved away. "They are mine! I found them first!" + +Tom was angry. He ran after Sara and tried to take the sunglasses from her. Sara ran away, but she tripped on a rock and fell down. The sunglasses flew off her face and landed on the ground. Tom saw his chance and picked them up. He put them on his face and laughed. "Now I look like a star!" + +Sara was hurt and sad. She got up and ran to Tom. She slapped him on the cheek and shouted. "Give them back! You are mean!" + +Tom was surprised and scared. He dropped the sunglasses and cried. "Ow! That hurt!" + +Sara and Tom were both crying and yelling. They did not see the big dog that came out of the bushes. The dog saw the sunglasses and thought they were a toy. He ran to them and grabbed them with his teeth. He shook his head and broke them into pieces. He wagged his tail and barked. + +Sara and Tom stopped crying and yelling. They looked at the dog and the broken sunglasses. They felt sorry and silly. They hugged each other and said. "We are sorry. We should share and be nice." + +The dog licked their faces and wagged his tail. He liked Sara and Tom. He wanted to play with them. Sara and Tom smiled and petted the dog. They forgot about the sunglasses and played with the dog. They learned a lesson and had a new friend. +Lila was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new places. One day, she saw a big door in the wall of her garden. She wondered what was behind it. She asked her mom if she could enter the door. + +"Be careful, Lila," her mom said. "You don't know what's inside. Take this brush with you. You might need it." + +Lila took the brush and opened the door. She entered a dark and dusty room. She saw many old things, like books, toys, and clothes. She felt curious and excited. She wanted to see more. + +She walked around the room and found a small window. She looked outside and saw a beautiful garden with flowers, trees, and birds. She smiled and said, "Wow, this is amazing!" + +She heard a noise behind her. She turned around and saw a big spider on the wall. It had eight legs and many eyes. It looked scary and angry. It moved towards her. + +Lila felt afraid and screamed. She grabbed the brush and waved it at the spider. She said, "Go away, spider! You can't hurt me!" + +The spider stopped and hissed. It did not like the brush. It turned around and crawled away. + +Lila felt relieved and brave. She said, "Ha, I scared you, spider! You are not so tough!" + +She ran to the door and entered her garden again. She saw her mom waiting for her. She hugged her and said, "Mom, I found a secret room! It was full of old things and a big spider!" + +Her mom smiled and said, "You are very adventurous, Lila. But you are also very smart and brave. You used the brush to protect yourself. I'm proud of you." + +Lila smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can we enter the room again tomorrow?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "Yes, we can. But only if you promise to be careful and stay with me." + +Lila agreed and said, "I promise, mom. It will be fun!" + +The end. +Anna liked to number her toys. She had one doll, two cars, three balls, four books and five blocks. She put them in a line and counted them every day. She was good at numbers. + +But Anna was lonely. She had no friends to play with. Her mom and dad worked a lot and she stayed with her grandma. Her grandma was nice, but she was old and tired.

Anna wanted to say hello, but she was shy. She watched the girl and the dog from behind a tree. They looked happy. + +The dog saw Anna and ran to her. He licked her face and wagged his tail. Anna giggled. The girl followed the dog and smiled at Anna. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" + +Anna smiled back and said, "I'm Anna. I like your dog. What's his name?" + +"His name is Spot. He likes you too. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asked. + +Anna nodded. She felt happy. She had a new friend and a new dog. She did not feel lonely anymore. She said, "Yes, I want to play with you. Can I number your toys?" +Anna and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They are happy and quiet. + +But then Ben sees Anna's doll and wants to play with it. He says, "Give me your doll. I want to make it drive my car." Anna says, "No, this is my doll. You have your car. Go away." Ben does not listen. He grabs the doll from Anna and runs to his car. + +Anna is angry and sad. She cries and follows Ben. She says, "Give me back my doll. You are mean and bad." Ben says, "No, this is fun. Your doll likes my car. Look, she is smiling." Anna says, "No, she is not. She is scared and sad. You are hurting her. Give her back now." + +They start to fight and pull the doll and the car. The doll's hair and dress get torn. The car's wheels and doors get broken. They make a lot of noise and mess. + +Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She sees the doll and the car and the children. She is angry and sad too. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? Look what you did to your toys. They are ruined. How could you?" + +Anna and Ben stop fighting and look at Mom. They feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing and we wanted the same toy. We did not mean to break them." Mom says, "Playing is good, but fighting is bad. You have to share and take turns. You have to be kind and gentle. You have to respect your toys and each other. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry." Mom says, "I forgive you, but you have to fix your toys and clean up the mess. And you have to hug and say sorry to each other too." Anna and Ben do what Mom says. They hug and say sorry to each other. They try to fix their toys and clean up the mess. They are not happy, but they are not angry either. + +Mom says, "Good. I am proud of you. Next time, you can be more creative and find a way to play together without fighting. Maybe you can make a story with your doll and your car. Maybe you can trade your toys for a while. Maybe you can find another toy to play with. There are many possibilities. You just have to use your imagination and be nice." + +Anna and Ben smile and say, "Thank you, Mom. We will try to be more creative and nice. We love you." Mom smiles and says, "I love you too. Now, let's have some cookies and milk. You must be hungry after all that playing and fixing." They go to the kitchen and have some cookies and milk. They are happy and quiet again. +Lisa and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch TV. Sometimes they watch TV with their mom and dad. Mom and dad drink wine when they watch TV.

They decide to try some when mom and dad are not looking. + +They climb on the chairs and reach for the bottle. They open it and smell it. It smells funny. They pour some wine in their cups and drink it. It tastes sour and bitter. They make faces and spit it out. + +"Yuck! This is not good!" Lisa says. + +"Me no like wine!"

She wants to improve her drawing skills. She asks her mom for help. + +"Mom, can you teach me how to draw better?" Anna says. + +"Sure, honey. What do you want to learn?" Mom says. + +"I want to learn how to draw circles. My circles are always lumpy and crooked." Anna says. + +Mom smiles and takes a crayon and a paper. She draws a big circle on the paper. + +"Look, Anna. This is how you draw a circle. You start at one point and move your hand around until you come back to the same point. You have to keep your hand steady and smooth. Do you want to try?" Mom says. + +Anna nods and takes another crayon and a paper. She tries to draw a circle like Mom. She starts at one point and moves her hand around. But her circle is not round. It has bumps and gaps. It looks like a zero. + +"Mom, my circle is not good. It looks like a zero." Anna says. + +Mom hugs Anna and kisses her cheek. + +"Your circle is not bad, Anna. It is a good try. You just need more practice. Practice makes perfect. If you draw circles every day, you will improve and make them rounder and smoother. Do you want to practice more?" Mom says. + +Anna smiles and nods. She likes to practice with Mom. She wants to improve her drawing skills. She thinks drawing is fun and healthy. It makes her happy and creative. She draws more circles with different colors and sizes.

She wants to improve more and more. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big cloud in the sky. It is dark and scary. + +"Look, Ben, a storm is coming!" Lily says. + +"I don't like storms. They are loud and wet," Ben says. + +They run to the house. They hear thunder and see lightning. They are afraid. + +"Mom, mom, where are you?" Lily calls. + +Mom comes out of the kitchen. She sees Lily and Ben. They are shaking and crying. + +"Don't worry, my loves, I'm here," Mom says. She hugs them and kisses them. + +"Can we cover with a blanket?" Lily asks. + +"Of course, we can. Let's go to the couch and cover with a blanket. We can read a book or sing a song," Mom says. + +She takes them to the living room. She finds a big, soft blanket. She covers Lily and Ben with the blanket. They feel warm and cozy. + +"Thank you, Mom, you are so helpful," Ben says. + +"You're welcome, Ben, you are so sweet," Mom says. + +They read a book about animals. They sing a song about rainbows.

She shows it to Ben and says, "Look, I have gum. Do you want some?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, please. I like gum. It is sweet and chewy." Sara gives him a piece of gum and takes one for herself. They unwrap the gum and put it in their mouths. They chew and blow bubbles. + +They have fun with the gum, but they forget to throw the wrappers in the trash. They leave them on the table, where they have their crayons and paper. They start to draw with the crayons. They make marks of different colors and shapes. They are happy and proud of their drawings. + +But then, something bad happens. Sara's gum falls out of her mouth and lands on her paper. She does not notice. She keeps drawing with her crayon. She makes a big mark over the gum. The gum sticks to the paper and the crayon. Sara tries to pull the crayon away, but the gum stretches and snaps. The crayon flies out of her hand and hits Ben in the face. + +"Ow!" Ben says. "What was that?" He rubs his face and sees the crayon. He looks at Sara and sees the gum on her paper. He says, "Sara, you have gum on your paper. And you hit me with your crayon. That is not nice. That is silly." + +Sara looks at her paper and sees the gum. She feels bad. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I did not mean to. I did not see the gum. It fell out of my mouth. I'm sorry I hit you with my crayon. Are you okay?" + +Ben says, "I'm okay. It did not hurt much. But you should be careful with your gum. And you should throw the wrappers in the trash. They are not good for drawing. They make a mess." + +Sara says, "You are right, Ben. I will be careful with my gum. And I will throw the wrappers in the trash. I will also make you a new drawing. A nice one. Without gum." + +Ben says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. I will make you a new drawing too. A nice one. Without crayons in the face." + +They smile and hug. They throw the wrappers and the gum in the trash. They get new paper and crayons. They make new drawings. They are happy and proud of their drawings. They are not silly. They are smart. +Ben and Mia like to play with their cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make a bridge with some books and a board. They put the bridge on the floor and pretend it is a big road. + +"Look, Mia, I have a red car. It is very fast and shiny. I will roll it on the bridge and make it jump." Ben says. + +"Wow, Ben, your car is cool. But I have a blue car. It is very smooth and quiet. I will roll it on the bridge and make it slide." Mia says. + +They take turns to roll their cars on the bridge. They make noises and laugh. They have fun. + +But then, the bridge falls down. The books and the board slide off the floor. The cars fall too. Ben and Mia are sad. + +"Oh no, our bridge is broken. Our cars are gone. What can we do?" Ben says. + +"Don't worry, Ben. We can make a new bridge. We can use some pillows and a blanket. We can find our cars. They are not far." Mia says. + +They pick up their cars and hug them. They make a new bridge with the pillows and the blanket. They put the bridge on the bed and pretend it is a cloud. + +"Look, Mia, I have a yellow car. It is very bright and happy. I will roll it on the bridge and make it fly." Ben says. + +"Wow, Ben, your car is cool. But I have a pink car. It is very pretty and sweet. I will roll it on the bridge and make it dance." Mia says. + +They take turns to roll their cars on the bridge. They make noises and giggle. They have fun. +Lily and Ben are bears. They live in the forest with their mama and papa. They like to play and run and climb trees. But their favorite thing is to eat honey. + +One day, they find a big beehive hanging from a branch. They smell the sweet honey inside. They want to eat it very much. But they know they have to be careful. The bees do not like to share their honey. They can sting and hurt the bears. + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They have a plan. Lily says, "You go first. You make a loud noise. You scare the bees away. Then I will grab the beehive and run." Ben nods. He thinks it is a good plan. + +Ben goes to the beehive. He roars very loud. He shakes the branch. He hopes the bees will fly away. But the bees do not fly away. They get angry. They buzz louder. They come out of the beehive. They fly to Ben. They sting his nose and ears and paws. Ben cries. He runs away. + +Lily sees what happens. She feels sorry for Ben. She forgets about the honey. She runs to Ben. She licks his wounds. She says, "I am sorry, Ben. It was a bad plan. Are you okay?" Ben says, "I am okay, Lily. Thank you. But I still want to eat honey." Lily says, "Me too, Ben. Me too. But maybe we should ask mama and papa first. They know where to find honey without bees." Ben agrees. They go to find their mama and papa. They hope they will share some honey with them. +Lily and Ben were at the harbor with their mom and dad. They liked to see the big boats and the water. They saw a man with a funny hat and a big net. He was fishing on a pier. + +"Can we go and see him, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be polite and don't bother him too much," mom said. + +Lily and Ben ran to the pier and stared at the man. He had a lot of fish in his net. They were shiny and wet. + +"Hello, mister. What are you doing?" Ben asked. + +"I'm fishing, little boy. Do you like fish?" the man said. + +"Yes, we do. Can we touch them?" Lily said. + +"Only if you're careful. They might be slippery and prickly," the man said. + +He let Lily and Ben touch some of the fish. They felt cold and smooth. Some had scales and some had spots. + +"Wow, they're so pretty. How do you catch them?" Lily asked. + +"I use this net and some bait. I throw the net in the water and wait for the fish to come. Sometimes they're easy to catch, sometimes they're hard. You have to be persistent," the man said. + +"What does persistent mean?" Ben asked. + +"It means you don't give up. You keep trying until you get what you want," the man said. + +"Like when we want a cookie?" Lily said. + +"Something like that," the man said. + +Lily and Ben learned a new word. They thanked the man and went back to their mom and dad. They told them about the fish and the net and the word persistent. They were happy and curious. They liked the harbor. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look, Lily, a monkey!" Ben said, pointing to a tree. He saw a brown furry animal with a long tail. It was jumping from branch to branch. + +"Wow, a monkey!" Lily said, running after Ben. They wanted to see the monkey closer. They followed him to a big hole in the tree. The monkey looked at them and made a funny noise. + +"Hello, monkey!" Lily said, waving her hand. "Are you cold?" + +The monkey nodded and shivered. He looked sad and hungry. + +"Maybe we can help him," Ben said. "We can provide him some food and a warm place." + +They ran back to their snowman and took the hat and the scarf. They also found some nuts and berries in their pockets. They brought them to the monkey. + +"Here, monkey, this is for you," Ben said, offering the hat and the scarf. "You can wear them to keep warm." + +"And this is for you, too," Lily said, giving the nuts and berries. "You can eat them to fill your tummy." + +The monkey smiled and took the gifts. He put on the hat and the scarf and ate the nuts and berries. He looked happy and cozy. + +"Thank you, Lily and Ben," the monkey said, in a voice that only they could hear. "You are very kind and friendly." + +"You are welcome, monkey," Lily and Ben said, in unison. "You are very cute and funny." + +They hugged the monkey and played with him in the snow. They became good friends. +Lily was a girl who liked to play with dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pink dress, a yellow hat and blue shoes. Lily liked to pretend that Anna was a wealthy lady who lived in a big house. + +One day, Lily and Anna went to the park. They saw a big tree with many flowers. Lily said to Anna, "Let's go and smell the flowers. They are so pretty and colorful." Anna nodded and smiled. They walked to the tree and picked some flowers. + +But then, something strange happened. A fairy appeared from behind the tree. She had wings, a wand and a sparkly dress. She said to Lily and Anna, "Hello, little girls. I am the fairy of the flowers. You are very kind to admire my flowers. I want to give you a gift. What do you wish for?" + +Lily was surprised and happy. She thought for a moment and said, "I wish for more dolls. I love dolls and I want to have more friends for Anna." The fairy smiled and said, "That is a nice wish. I will grant it for you. But you have to promise me something. You have to share your dolls with other children who have no dolls. Can you do that?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I can. I like to share and make others happy." The fairy waved her wand and said, "Then, your wish is granted. Look in your bag." Lily looked in her bag and saw that it was full of dolls. There were dolls of different sizes, colors and clothes. Lily was amazed and delighted. She hugged Anna and said, "Thank you, fairy. You are very nice and generous. I will share my dolls with others and make them happy too." + +The fairy smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good and sweet girl. I hope you enjoy your dolls and have fun with them. But remember, the most important thing is not how many dolls you have, but how much love you give them. Goodbye, Lily and Anna." The fairy disappeared behind the tree. + +Lily and Anna waved goodbye to the fairy. They put some flowers in their hair and played with their dolls. They had a wonderful day. +Tom and Anna were friends who lived near a big field. They liked to play in the field and look at the flowers and animals. One day, they saw a new boy in the field. He had a shiny bike and a big hat. He looked wealthy. + +"Hello, what is your name?" Tom asked the new boy. + +"My name is Leo. I just moved here with my family. We live in the big house over there." Leo pointed to a large and fancy house. + +"Wow, your house is very nice. Do you want to play with us?" Anna asked Leo. + +Leo looked at Tom and Anna. They had old clothes and dirty shoes. He did not want to play with them. He thought they were poor and boring. + +"No, thank you. I have better things to do than play with you. You are not my friends. Go away." Leo said in a mean voice. + +Tom and Anna felt sad and hurt. They did not understand why Leo was so rude. They decided to leave him alone and go to another part of the field. + +"Leo is not nice. He does not know how to be a friend. We have each other and we have fun. That is more important than being wealthy." Tom said to Anna. + +Anna nodded and smiled. She agreed with Tom. They held hands and ran to join the other children who were playing in the field. They forgot about Leo and had a good time. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and their friends. They have many toys, but their favorite toy is a sock puppet. They call it Socky. Socky is very popular. All their friends want to play with Socky. + +One day, Anna and Ben are playing with Socky in their room. They make Socky talk and sing and dance. They have a lot of fun. But then, their mom calls them for lunch. They put Socky on their bed and run to the kitchen. + +After lunch, they go back to their room. But Socky is not on their bed. They look under the bed, in the closet, in the drawers, but they cannot find Socky. Socky has disappeared. + +"Where is Socky?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone took him," Ben says. + +They are very sad. They miss Socky. They want to play with him again. + +They go to their mom and tell her what happened. Their mom hugs them and says, "Don't worry. We will find Socky. Maybe he is hiding somewhere. Let's look for him together." + +They search the whole house, but they still cannot find Socky. They are about to give up, when they hear a familiar voice from the laundry room. + +"Hello, Anna and Ben. I'm here. I'm sorry I scared you. I was in the laundry basket. I wanted to be clean and soft. Can we play now?" + +It is Socky. He is in the laundry basket, among the clean clothes. Anna and Ben are so happy. They run to the laundry room and hug Socky. + +"Socky, we found you. We love you. You are the best toy ever," they say. + +Socky smiles and says, "I love you too. You are the best friends ever. Let's play." + +Anna and Ben take Socky to their room and play with him. They are very happy. Socky is very popular. But he is also very loyal. He never wants to disappear again. +Anna likes to play with her ball. She can throw it and catch it and roll it on the floor. Sometimes she plays with her daddy, who can throw the ball very high. Anna laughs when she sees the ball go up and down in the air. + +One day, Anna and her daddy are playing with the ball in the park. Anna throws the ball to her daddy, and he throws it back to her. She tries to catch it, but it is too high. The ball goes over her head and lands in a bush. + +"Where is the ball?" Anna asks. + +"It's in the bush, Anna. Let's go and get it," her daddy says. + +They walk to the bush and look for the ball. Anna sees something shiny in the bush. It is a ring. She picks it up and shows it to her daddy. + +"Look, daddy, a ring!" she says. + +Her daddy looks at the ring and smiles. He takes it from her and holds her hand. + +"Anna, this is a very special ring. It is a ring that I gave to your mommy when I asked her to marry me. I lost it a long time ago, and I have been looking for it ever since. I can't believe you found it, Anna. You are very lucky," he says. + +Anna does not understand what her daddy is saying, but she is happy to see him smile. She hugs him and says, "I love you, daddy." + +"I love you too, Anna. You are the best thing that ever happened to me and your mommy. Come on, let's go and show her the ring. She will be so happy," he says. + +They leave the bush and walk to their car. Anna holds the ring in her hand and looks at it. It is shiny and pretty. She thinks it is a magic ring, because it made her daddy happy. She closes her hand around it and says, "Thank you, ball." +Lily and Max are at the park with Mom. They like to play on the swings and the slide. Mom sits on a bench and watches them. She has a big purse with her. + +A man comes to the bench. He looks at Mom's purse. He is not nice. He wants to take the purse. He waits for Mom to look away. + +"Hey, look at that bird!" he says to Mom. He points to a tree. Mom looks at the tree. She does not see a bird. She sees a dead squirrel. She feels sad for the squirrel. + +The man grabs the purse and runs away. Mom sees him and shouts. "Stop! That's my purse!" + +Lily and Max hear Mom. They stop playing and run to her.

He falls down and drops the purse. + +Max picks up the purse and gives it to Mom. Mom hugs Max and Lily. She is happy and proud. She thanks them for helping her. + +The man gets up and runs away. He is hurt and sorry. He does not want to steal purses anymore. He learns a lesson. +Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a mustache. The mustache was made of sticks. Lila and Ben thought the snowman looked funny and nice. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lila said. "Do you like your mustache?" + +"Yes, I do!" Ben said, pretending to be the snowman. "It keeps me warm in the cold." + +Lila and Ben laughed. They wanted to make more snowmen with different things. They looked around for more sticks, stones and leaves. + +But then they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. It looked friendly, but Lila and Ben were scared. They did not know the dog. + +"Go away, dog!" Lila shouted. "Leave our snowman alone!" + +But the dog did not listen. It jumped on the snowman and knocked it down. The hat, the scarf and the mustache fell off. The snowman was broken. + +Lila and Ben were sad and angry. They cried and yelled at the dog. But the dog did not care. It picked up the mustache in its mouth and ran away. + +"Come back, dog!" Ben shouted. "Give us our mustache!" + +But the dog did not yield. It kept running and playing with the mustache. Lila and Ben could not catch it. + +They looked at their snowman. It was just a pile of snow now. They felt cold and sad. + +"Let's go home, Lila," Ben said. "Maybe we can make another snowman tomorrow." + +"OK, Ben," Lila said. "But I hope we find a better mustache." +Tom is a fish. He lives in a tank with other fish.

They had many cards of different colors and shapes. + +Outside, it was raining hard. The sky was gray and the wind was loud. Anna and Ben could hear the raindrops on the window. They did not want to go outside. They wanted to stay inside and play. + +But then, Anna had an idea. She saw a big card with a picture of a rainbow on it. She wanted to show it to Ben. She took the card and ran to the window. She said, "Look, Ben, a rainbow card! Maybe we can find a real rainbow after the rain!" + +But as she ran, she bumped into the table. The cards on the table fell down. Some of them flew in the air. Some of them landed on the floor. Some of them hit the lamp. The lamp fell down and broke. The living room was dark and messy. + +Anna and Ben were scared. They heard their mom coming. They knew they were in trouble. They felt guilty. They did not mean to break the lamp.

Mom and dad were sad, because they worked hard to buy the toys, and they wanted Anna and Ben to be happy and grateful. + +One night, Anna and Ben had a dream. They dreamed that they were in a big toy store, where they could have any toy they wanted. They were very excited, and they ran around the store, grabbing and throwing toys. They filled their carts with dolls, cars, puzzles, and books. They did not care about the other children in the store, who had no toys at all. They were selfish and greedy. + +But then, something strange happened. The toys started to talk. They said, "Stop! You are hurting us! You are not playing with us, you are wasting us! You do not appreciate us, you only want more and more! You are not happy, you are spoiled!" Anna and Ben were scared, and they tried to run away. But the toys followed them, and they blocked the exit. They said, "You cannot leave, until you learn to share and be thankful!" + +Anna and Ben woke up from their dream, sweating and crying. They realized that they had been very bad, and that they had hurt their mom and dad, and their toys. They felt sorry, and they decided to change.

You have learned a valuable lesson." + +The next day, Anna and Ben took some of their toys, and gave them to the children who had no toys. The children were happy, and they thanked them.

They never complained again, and they always remembered their dream. +Tom and Lily were very hungry. They smelled something good in the kitchen. They ran to see what it was. Mom was cooking a big turkey for dinner. It was brown and juicy. + +"Can we help, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, you can help me lift the turkey out of the oven. But be careful, it is very hot," Mom said. + +She gave Tom and Lily each a big oven mitt. They put them on their hands. Then they grabbed the turkey pan with Mom.

They all sat on the sofa and enjoyed the silence and the warmth. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They like to swing on the swings and slide on the slide. They see a big bike with a shiny chain. They want to try it. + +"Who owns this bike?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is someone famous," Mia says. + +They go near the bike and touch the chain. It is cold and hard. They see some dirt on the chain. They want to make it clean. + +"Let's wipe the chain with this cloth," Tom says. He finds a cloth on the ground. + +"OK, but be careful. The chain might hurt you," Mia says. + +They start to wipe the chain with the cloth. They make it shiny and bright.

It had some dirt," Mia says. + +The man looks at them and then at his bike. He sees the clean chain. He smiles a little. + +"Well, thank you for wiping my chain. But you should not touch other people's things without asking. This bike is very special to me. It is a gift from my friend. He is a famous racer," he says. + +"Wow, really? That is cool. What is his name?" Tom asks. + +"His name is Sam. He is very fast and brave. He won many races with this bike. He gave it to me when he retired. He said I should take good care of it," he says. + +"Can we see him? Can we meet him?" Mia asks. + +"Maybe someday. He lives far away. But he sometimes visits me. He likes to see kids who love bikes. Maybe he will let you ride his bike too. But only if you promise to be careful and respectful," he says. + +"We promise, mister. We love bikes. And we are sorry for touching your bike without asking. We will not do it again," Tom and Mia say. + +The man nods and pats their heads. He gives them a sticker with Sam's name and picture. He says goodbye and rides away. + +Tom and Mia wave to him.

They hoped the dog would go away. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom shouted. "This is our house!" + +But the dog did not listen. It jumped on the house. The bricks fell down. Tom and Sue were nervous. They did not know what to do. + +"Let's pray!" Sue said. "Maybe God will help us." + +"OK," Tom said. They closed their eyes and prayed. They asked God to make the dog leave. + +Then, they heard a voice. It was their mom. She came out of the real house. She saw the dog and the bricks. + +"Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked the dog. "You are not our dog. Go home!" + +She shooed the dog away. The dog ran away. Tom and Sue opened their eyes.

She also likes to play with dolls." + +Lily said, "Thank you, Mr. Brown. You are very kind. Can I show you Anna? She is in my house. She is waiting for me." + +Mr. Brown said, "Maybe another time, Lily. I have to go now. But it was nice to meet you. Have fun with Anna." + +Lily said, "Bye, Mr. Brown. Have a good day.

The frog was green and wet. + +"Let me see!" Sam said. He came closer to Tim. He wanted to touch the frog too. + +"No, it is my frog!" Tim said. He did not want to share. He valued the frog more than his friend. He pushed Sam away. + +"Hey, that is not nice!" Sam said. He was sad and angry. He did not like Tim anymore. + +The frog did not like Tim either. It did not want to be in his hand. It wanted to be free. It bit Tim's finger hard. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim cried. He dropped the frog. The frog jumped back to the pond. It was happy. + +Tim was not happy. He was hurt and alone. Sam did not want to play with him anymore. He walked away. + +"Sam, wait, I am sorry!" Tim said. But Sam did not hear him.

One day, a big storm came and Lily was scared. But her mommy hugged her and said it was normal for storms to come and go. + +After the storm was over, Lily went outside to see the trees and flowers. She saw a beautiful butterfly and admired its pretty wings. Lily wanted to be like the butterfly and fly in the sky too. + +So, Lily ran and jumped as high as she could, but she couldn't fly. But that was okay, because she knew she could admire the butterfly and be happy just watching it. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play outside and look at the stars. One night, he saw a shooting star shine brightly in the sky. + +He ran inside to tell his mom about the star. "Mommy, I saw a star shine! It was so pretty!" Timmy exclaimed. + +His mom smiled and said, "Yes, stars are very beautiful. But remember, it's always important to be honest and tell the truth." + +Timmy nodded and went back outside to play.

She knew that it was important to keep her baby brother clean, so she decided to make bath time fun by singing songs and playing with toys. + +After a while, the baby brother started to enjoy the bath and splashed around in the water. When they were done, the big sister wrapped the infant in a dry towel and gave him a big hug. + +The moral of the story is that sometimes we may disagree with things that are good for us, but if we give it a chance, we might end up enjoying it. And it's important to take care of ourselves, just like the big sister took care of her baby brother by giving him a bath. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play with his toy cars. One day, Timmy's friend Billy came over to play.

Suddenly, Timmy's mom came in and said, "Boys, it's time for lunch. Please come to the kitchen." + +Timmy said to Billy, "We have to go now. My mom is serious about lunchtime." + +Billy replied, "Okay, let's continue playing after lunch." + +Timmy and Billy had a yummy lunch and then went back to playing with their toys.

When Billy's mom came to pick him up, Timmy said, "Let's play again soon!" + +Billy smiled and said, "Yes, let's do that. Your mom is serious about lunchtime, but we can still have lots of fun playing together." +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy.

Can we solve this problem?" + +Mommy said, "Let's add some sugar to the cookies. That should make them taste better." + +Timmy and his mommy added sugar to the cookie dough and baked the cookies again. This time, the cookies tasted sweet and delicious. Timmy was happy and ate lots of cookies. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a rabbit named Benny. Benny loved to eat carrots and lettuce, but he never tried a radish before. One day, his friend Sally the squirrel offered him a radish to try. + +Benny was hesitant at first, but he decided to give it a try. He took a bite and made a silly face. The radish was too spicy for him! He didn't like it at all. + +Sally felt bad that she offered him something he didn't like. Benny was upset and didn't want to talk to Sally anymore. + +The next day, Sally came to Benny's burrow with a big carrot. She apologized for offering him a radish and said she wanted to make it up to him. Benny forgave her and they shared the carrot together. From then on, they always made sure to ask each other if they wanted to try something new before offering it. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play in the park near her house. One day, she saw a beautiful swan swimming in the pond.

She loved to play outside and explore the world around her. One day, she went on a walk with her mom and saw a big, ugly bug on the ground. + +Lily didn't like the bug because it looked scary. Her mom told her that bugs are important for the environment and they help plants grow. Lily didn't know that and was surprised. + +As they continued their walk, they came across a stream of water.
