Maybe we can find a book with a snowman on the cover. Do you see any books with a snowman on the cover?" + +Lily looks at the shelves and sees many books with different covers. She sees books with animals and cars and stars and flowers. She sees books with colors and shapes and numbers and letters. She looks and looks until she sees a book with a snowman on the cover. She says, "There! I see a book with a snowman on the cover. Can we take this one?" + +Her mom says, "Yes, we can take this one. Let's go to the desk and check it out. Then we can go home and read it together. Maybe we can make a snowman too, if the snow is not too deep." + +Lily feels happy. She likes to read books with her mom. She likes to make snowmen too. She says, "Okay, let's go. I like the library, even when it is empty. But I like it more when it is full." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with a swing and a slide. They also had a small house where they kept their toys and books. + +One day, Lily wanted to climb the tree and see the birds. She asked Ben to help her. "Ben, can you push me up the tree? I want to see the birds and say hello." + +Ben was busy making a salad with leaves and flowers. He liked to pretend he was a chef. He said, "No, Lily, I can't. I am making a salad for us. You can climb the tree later." + +Lily was angry. She wanted to climb the tree now. She said, "Ben, you are mean. I don't want your salad. I want to climb the tree." She pushed Ben and his salad fell on the ground. + +Ben was angry too. He worked hard on his salad and now it was ruined. He said, "Lily, you are naughty. You made a mess. I don't want to play with you." He ran to the house and slammed the door. + +Lily felt sorry. She didn't mean to make Ben sad. She picked up the salad and put it in a bowl. She climbed the tree and saw the birds. They were singing and flying. She said, "Hello, birds. I am sorry I was angry. I love my brother and I want to share with him." + +She climbed down the tree and knocked on the door. She said, "Ben, I am sorry. I have a salad for you. Can we play together?" + +Ben opened the door and smiled. He said, "Lily, I am sorry too. I have a swing for you. Can we be friends again?" + +They hugged and said, "Yes, we can." They ate the salad and played on the swing and the slide. They were happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make a big tower with the blocks. They are happy. + +But then, a big boy comes. He is mean. He kicks the tower. The blocks fall down. Tom and Mia are sad. + +"Go away!" Tom says to the big boy. "You are bad!" + +The big boy laughs. He does not care. He kicks the blocks again. He makes a mess. + +Tom and Mia weep. They want their tower back. They hug each other. + +A teacher sees them. She is nice. She comes to help. + +"What happened?" she asks. + +"The big boy broke our tower!" Mia says. + +"That is not nice!" the teacher says. "He should say sorry!" + +She calls the big boy. She tells him to say sorry. He does not want to. He is stubborn. + +The teacher is angry. She takes him to the dark room. She makes him stay there. He is scared. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They get their blocks back. They make a new tower. They are friends. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They find a big jar of honey. They want to taste it. + +"Let's have some honey," Tom says. "It is sweet and yummy." + +"OK," Lily says. "But we need a teaspoon. Mama says honey is sticky and messy." + +They look for a teaspoon. They see one on the table. But it is too high for them. They cannot reach it. + +Tom has an idea. He is clever. He sees a chair. He pushes it to the table. He climbs on the chair. He grabs the teaspoon. + +"Here you go, Lily," he says. He gives the teaspoon to Lily. "Now we can have some honey." + +Lily smiles. She is happy. She opens the jar. She scoops some honey with the teaspoon. She puts it in her mouth. It is sweet and yummy. + +"Thank you, Tom," she says. "You are clever and kind." + +They share the honey. They enjoy it. They are careful not to spill it. They do not want to make a mess. They are good twins. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a small ball. They kick the ball to each other. They laugh and have fun. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the ball. The dog runs to the ball. The dog takes the ball in his mouth. Lily and Tom are scared. They want their ball back. + +"Hey, dog, give us our ball!" Tom shouts. The dog does not listen. The dog runs away with the ball. Lily and Tom chase the dog. They run fast. But the dog is faster. + +They see the dog go to a house. The house has a fence. The dog jumps over the fence. Lily and Tom stop at the fence. They cannot jump over the fence. They are sad. They lost their ball. + +They hear a voice. "Hello, kids, what are you doing?" The voice is from a lady. The lady lives in the house. The lady sees the dog. The lady knows the dog. The dog is her dog. + +"Sorry, kids, this is my dog. He likes to play with balls. He did not mean to take your ball. He is a good dog. Come, I will give you your ball back." The lady says. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They follow the lady. The lady opens the fence. The lady calls the dog. The dog comes to the lady. The dog drops the ball. The lady picks up the ball. The lady gives the ball to Lily and Tom. + +"Thank you, lady, thank you, dog!" Lily and Tom say. They hug the lady. They pet the dog. The dog wags his tail. The dog licks their faces. Lily and Tom giggle. + +"You are welcome, kids. You are very nice. Do you want to play with my dog? He likes to play with kids. He is very friendly." The lady says. + +"Yes, please, we want to play with your dog!" Lily and Tom say. They play with the dog. They throw the ball. The dog fetches the ball. They have more fun. + +Lily and Tom are very happy. They have their ball back. They have a new friend. They have a success. They kiss the dog. The dog kisses them back. They are a small happy family. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tent with many colors. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe there are toys or candy in there!" + +Lily was not sure. The tent seemed scary to her. She saw a black veil hanging from the top. She heard a strange noise coming from inside. + +"Tom, I don't want to go," Lily said. "It looks dark and dry. Maybe there is a monster in there!" + +Tom laughed. "Don't be silly, Lily. There is no monster. It's just a tent. Come on, it will be fun!" + +He took her hand and pulled her to the tent. He lifted the veil and peeked inside. He saw a big cage with a lion. The lion was angry and hungry. It roared and showed its teeth. + +"Wow, look, Lily! A lion!" Tom said. "It's so big and yellow!" + +Lily was very scared. She wanted to run away. But Tom was too curious. He let go of her hand and stepped inside the tent. He wanted to touch the lion. + +"Tom, no!" Lily cried. "The lion will hurt you! Come back!" + +But it was too late. The lion saw Tom and jumped on him. It bit him and scratched him. Tom screamed and cried. Lily screamed and cried too. She ran to get help. But nobody heard her. The tent was too far from the people. The lion ate Tom. Lily was alone and sad. The end. +Lily and Ben like to play pretend. They have a stage in their room, with a curtain and a box of costumes. They take turns to be different people and animals, and make up stories. + +One day, they decide to be circus performers. Lily puts on a red dress and a hat with a feather. Ben wears a big coat and a funny nose. He says, "I am the ringmaster, and I will show you the best show ever! Lily, you are the star, and you will do a trick on the rope!" + +Lily sees a rope hanging from the ceiling. She thinks it looks fun, but also scary. She says, "Ben, is it safe to do that? What if I fall?" + +Ben says, "Don't worry, Lily, it is safe. I tied the rope very well, and I have a pillow for you to land on. Just trust me, and you will be amazing!" + +Lily wants to make Ben happy, and she likes to be brave. She says, "OK, Ben, I will do it. But you have to hold the curtain for me, and clap when I finish." + +Ben says, "Of course, Lily, I will do that. Now, get ready, and I will announce you to the audience!" + +Ben goes behind the curtain, and Lily climbs on a chair. She grabs the rope, and swings across the stage. She feels the wind in her hair, and the thrill in her heart. She smiles, and thinks she is doing great. + +But then, something goes wrong. The rope breaks, and Lily falls. She screams, and Ben hears her. He drops the curtain, and runs to her. He sees her lying on the floor, with blood on her head. The pillow is too far away. He cries, and calls for help. + +Lily and Ben learn a hard lesson. Playing pretend is fun, but they have to be careful. Some things are not safe to do, even if they look fun. They should always listen to their parents, and not try things they don't know how to do. They should also look out for each other, and not let their pride or curiosity get the better of them. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to watch movies together. Sometimes they watch funny movies, sometimes they watch scary movies, sometimes they watch adventurous movies. Adventurous movies have a lot of action and excitement. + +One day, Sara calls Ben on the phone. She says, "Ben, do you want to watch a movie with me? I have a new movie. It is very adventurous. It is about a boy and a girl who go to a jungle and find a treasure." + +Ben says, "Yes, Sara, I want to watch that movie. It sounds fun. When can I come to your house?" + +Sara says, "You can come now. I will wait for you. Bring some popcorn and juice." + +Ben says, "OK, Sara, I will be there soon. Bye." + +Ben hangs up the phone and runs to his room. He grabs some popcorn and juice and puts them in his backpack. He puts on his shoes and jacket and goes outside. He rides his bike to Sara's house. He rings the doorbell and Sara opens the door. She smiles and says, "Hi, Ben, I'm glad you're here. Come in, the movie is ready." + +Sara and Ben go to the living room and sit on the couch. Sara puts the movie in the DVD player and turns on the TV. They watch the movie and enjoy the adventurous story. They laugh and gasp and cheer. They share the popcorn and juice. They have a good time. They are happy. They are friends. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. They had a ball, a kite and a bike. They also liked to watch the animals in the park, like the birds, the ducks and the squirrels. + +One day, they saw a big, brown squirrel on a tree. It had a long, fluffy tail and shiny, black eyes. Tim and Sam wanted to get closer to the squirrel, so they left their toys and walked towards the tree. + +"Hello, squirrel!" Tim said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The squirrel looked at Tim and Sam and made a loud, angry noise. It showed its sharp, white teeth and waved its tail. It did not want to play with Tim and Sam. It wanted to be alone. + +"Go away, boys!" the squirrel said. "This is my tree and my nuts. You cannot have them. If you come closer, I will bite you!" + +Tim and Sam were scared of the squirrel. They did not know that squirrels could talk. They did not know that squirrels could be so mean. They ran back to their toys and picked them up. + +"Sorry, squirrel!" Sam said. "We did not mean to bother you. We just wanted to be your friends." + +The squirrel did not say anything. It just watched Tim and Sam leave. It was glad that they listened to its warning. It was not a friendly squirrel. It was a greedy squirrel. + +Tim and Sam learned a lesson that day. They learned that not all animals in the park wanted to play with them. They learned that some animals could be creative and talk to them. They learned that they should always be careful and respectful of the animals in the park. They also learned that they had more fun with their toys than with the squirrel. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has a sign that says "Beef". Sara and Tom are curious. They want to know what is in the truck. + +They go near the truck and look inside. They see many boxes. The boxes have pictures of cows. Sara and Tom love cows. They think cows are cute and peaceful. They wonder why the truck has cows in boxes. + +They see a man. The man is the driver of the truck. He is busy. He is checking the boxes. Sara and Tom say hello to the man. They ask him what he is doing. + +The man smiles. He says he is sending beef to the market. He says beef is the meat of cows. He says people buy beef and eat it. He says beef is yummy and healthy. + +Sara and Tom are shocked. They do not like the idea of eating cows. They think cows are friends, not food. They feel sad for the cows in the boxes. They want to help the cows. + +They tell the man they do not want him to send beef to the market. They ask him to let the cows go. They say the cows should be free and happy. They say the cows should live in the farm, not in the truck. + +The man laughs. He says he cannot do that. He says he has a job to do. He says he has to send beef to the market. He says the cows are not his. He says they belong to the farmer. He says the farmer sells the cows to the market. + +Sara and Tom are angry. They do not like the man. They do not like the farmer. They do not like the market. They think they are mean and greedy. They think they do not care about the cows. + +They decide to do something. They look for a way to stop the truck. They see a big red button. The button says "Stop". They think the button will stop the truck. They run to the button and push it. + +The truck stops. The man is surprised. He does not know what happened. He goes out of the truck and sees Sara and Tom. He sees they pushed the button. He is mad. He yells at them. He says they are naughty and silly. He says they made a big mistake. He says he will call their parents. + +Sara and Tom are scared. They do not want to get in trouble. They do not want to face their parents. They run away from the truck. They run back to the park. They hide behind a tree. + +They hope the man will not find them. They hope the cows will be okay. They hope someone will save the cows. They hope the world will be more peaceful. They hug each other and cry. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. But today, mom and dad have to go to a boring shop. They say they need to buy a new sofa, because the old one is broken. Lily and Max hate the boring shop. They want to play on the swings and the slide. + +Mom and dad say they will be quick. They tell Lily and Max to sit on a bench and wait. They give them some juice and a cookie. Lily and Max sit on the bench, but they are not happy. They look at the boring shop. It has a lot of expensive things. They see sofas, and chairs, and tables, and lamps. They are all different colors and shapes. Lily and Max think they are ugly. + +Lily and Max finish their juice and cookie. They are still bored. They look around the park. They see other kids playing. They see a dog chasing a ball. They see a bird singing on a tree. They want to join them. They get off the bench and run to the swings. They have fun. They forget about the boring shop. + +Mom and dad come out of the boring shop. They look for Lily and Max. They do not see them on the bench. They get worried. They call their names. They look everywhere. They do not find them. They are scared. + +Lily and Max hear their mom and dad calling. They stop swinging. They feel bad. They run back to the bench. They see their mom and dad. They hug them. They say they are sorry. They say they were bored. Mom and dad are angry, but also happy. They say they were worried. They say they love them. They say they bought a new sofa. They say they can go home and see it. Lily and Max say they love them too. They say they want to see the new sofa. They hope it is not ugly. They get in the car and go home. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a lime on the ground. It is green and round. + +"Look, a lime!" Lily says. "Can we eat it?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is sour." + +They take the lime to their mom. She is in the kitchen. She is making a cake. + +"Mom, can we eat this lime?" Lily asks. + +"Where did you find it?" Mom asks. + +"In the garden," Ben says. + +Mom smiles. "That is not a lime, my dears. That is a lemon. It is very sour. You can use it to make lemonade." + +"Can we make lemonade?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, why not?" Mom says. "But first, we need to mail this letter. It is for Grandma. She lives far away. She will be happy to get it." + +"Can we help you mail the letter?" Ben asks. + +"Of course," Mom says. "You are very strong. You can carry the letter to the mailbox. It is at the end of the street. Be careful and hold hands." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They take the letter from Mom. It is in a blue envelope. It has a stamp on it. They say goodbye to Mom and go to the mailbox. They hold hands and walk fast. They see the mailbox. It is red and big. + +"Here it is!" Lily says. "Let's mail the letter!" + +They open the mailbox. They put the letter inside. They close the mailbox. They hear a click. + +"We did it!" Ben says. "We mailed the letter to Grandma!" + +They hug each other. They are proud. They go back to Mom. She is waiting for them. She has a pitcher of lemonade and some cups. + +"Good job, my dears!" Mom says. "You are very helpful. Now, let's have some lemonade and cake. You deserve it." + +Lily and Ben smile. They love Mom. They love lemonade. They love cake. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with the ball in the park. Sara can pass the ball very well. Ben can catch the ball very well. They have fun together. + +One day, they see a big step in the park. It is new and shiny. Sara and Ben want to try it. They run to the step. But there is a problem. There is only one step. And there are two of them. + +"Can I go first?" Sara asks. + +"No, I want to go first!" Ben says. + +They start to argue. They forget about the ball. The ball rolls away. + +A dog sees the ball. The dog likes the ball. The dog runs to the ball. The dog takes the ball in his mouth. The dog runs away with the ball. + +Sara and Ben stop arguing. They look for the ball. They see the dog with the ball. They are sad. + +"Hey, come back!" Sara shouts. + +"Give us our ball!" Ben shouts. + +But the dog does not listen. The dog is happy with the ball. + +Sara and Ben learn a lesson. They should not fight over the step. They should share the step. They should not forget about the ball. They should keep the ball close. They should play together. + +They hope to find another ball. A ball that is available. A ball that they can pass and catch. A ball that they can have fun with. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play together at the park. One day, they saw a big truck with many toys. The truck had a sign that said "Cheap Toys for Sale". + +"Look, Anna, toys!" Ben said. "Let's go see." + +Anna and Ben ran to the truck. They saw dolls, cars, balls, books, and more. They wanted to buy a toy, but they only had one coin each. + +"How can we choose?" Anna asked. "They all look fun." + +Ben looked around. He saw a car that could make sounds and lights. He liked cars. He picked up the car and gave his coin to the man in the truck. + +"I choose this car," he said. "It has motion and noise. It is cool." + +Anna looked around. She saw a doll that had a dress and a hat. She liked dolls. She picked up the doll and gave her coin to the man in the truck. + +"I choose this doll," she said. "It has clothes and hair. It is pretty." + +Anna and Ben were happy with their toys. They thanked the man in the truck and ran back to the park. They played with their toys and shared them with each other. They had a lot of fun. They were glad they could choose cheap toys. +Lily and Sam liked to play with their toy boat. They had a big tub of water in the backyard, and they would make the boat sail and splash. Sometimes they would pretend to be pirates or explorers, and have fun adventures. + +One day, Lily found a bottle of polish in the garage. She wanted to make the boat shiny and pretty, so she took the polish and a cloth and started to rub the boat. Sam saw what she was doing and said, "Stop! That's not polish for boats, that's polish for cars! You will make the boat weird!" + +But Lily did not listen. She kept polishing the boat, and soon it was very shiny. But it was also very slippery. When she tried to put the boat in the water, it slid out of her hands and flew across the tub. It hit the wall and broke into pieces. + +Lily and Sam were very sad. They liked their boat, and now it was gone. They wished they had not used the polish. They learned a lesson: always ask before you use something that is not yours. And polish for cars is not polish for boats. +Lily and Ben are having breakfast with Mom. Mom gives them toast with butter and jam. Lily likes butter and jam, but Ben only likes butter. He does not like jam. He says jam is too sweet and sticky. + +"Can I have more butter, Mom?" Ben asks. Mom smiles and gives him more butter. "Here you go, Ben. But don't forget to chew your toast well. It is good for your teeth." + +Lily chews her toast and looks at Ben. She sees that he has a lot of butter on his toast. She thinks he has too much butter. She wants to share some of his butter. She says, "Ben, can I have some of your butter? I don't have enough." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to share his butter. He says, "No, Lily. This is my butter. You have jam. Jam is good for you." + +Lily feels sad. She does not like jam. She likes butter. She thinks Ben is not nice. She says, "But I don't like jam. Jam is red. Red is not my favorite color. Butter is yellow. Yellow is my favorite color." + +Mom hears Lily and Ben. She sees that they are not happy. She wants them to be happy. She says, "Lily, Ben, why don't you share your toast? You can have half of each other's toast. That way, you can both have butter and jam. Butter and jam are both good for you. And they are both nice colors. Yellow and red make orange. Orange is a happy color." + +Lily and Ben think about Mom's idea. They look at their toast. They see that Mom is right. Butter and jam are both good for them. And they are both nice colors. Yellow and red make orange. Orange is a happy color. They decide to share their toast. They say, "OK, Mom. We will share our toast. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "You're welcome, Lily and Ben. I'm glad you are happy. Now, finish your breakfast and get ready for school. I love you both." + +Lily and Ben finish their breakfast and get ready for school. They chew their toast well. They like butter and jam. They like yellow and red. They like orange. They are happy. They love Mom. +Lily liked to fold paper. She learned how to make a bird, a boat, a hat and a star. She had many colors of paper and she liked to make different things every day. + +One day, she wanted to play with her paper things outside. She put them in a basket and went to the backyard. She saw a big tree, some flowers, a swing and a fence. She thought it was a nice place to play. + +She put her basket under the tree and took out a paper bird. She threw it in the air and watched it fly. She smiled and clapped her hands. She took out a paper boat and put it in a puddle. She saw it float and move.

She wished for something fun to happen. + +Suddenly, she heard a noise. She looked up and saw a real bird on the tree. It was red and yellow and blue. It was not an ordinary bird. It was very pretty and shiny. It looked at Lily and sang a song. + +Lily was surprised and happy. She waved at the bird and said hello. The bird flew down and landed on her shoulder. It nibbled her ear and tickled her. Lily laughed and hugged the bird. + +She felt like her wish came true. She had a new friend. She showed the bird her paper things and they played together. They had a lot of fun in the backyard. Lily was very happy. She thought it was a wonderful day. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they did not like the big dog that sometimes came. The dog was mean and loud. He chased them and barked at them. He made them scared. + +One day, Ben had a new vest. It was red and shiny. He was very proud of it. He showed it to Lily and said, "Look at my vest. It is very nice. Do you like it?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, it is very nice. But be careful. The dog might come and make it dirty. He likes to jump on people and bite their clothes." + +Ben said, "No, he will not. I will run fast and hide. He will not catch me. He will not make my vest dirty." + +They played some more. But then they heard a loud bark. The dog was coming. He saw Ben and his vest. He wanted to jump on him and bite his vest. He ran towards him. + +Ben was scared. He tried to run and hide. But he was too late. The dog was faster. He jumped on him and bit his vest. He tore it and made it dirty. Ben cried and said, "No, no, no! My vest! My nice vest!" + +Lily ran to help him. She saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up and waved it at the dog. She said, "Go away, go away, go away! You are a bad dog! You hurt Ben and his vest!" + +The dog was afraid of the stick. He let go of the vest and ran away. He barked no more. + +Lily hugged Ben and said, "I am sorry, Ben. Your vest is dirty and broken. The dog was very mean. He should not have done that." + +Ben said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You helped me. You prevented the dog from hurting me more. But I am sad. I liked my vest. It was very nice." + +Lily said, "Maybe we can fix it. Maybe we can wash it and sew it. Maybe it will be nice again. Or maybe we can get you a new vest. A better vest. A vest that the dog will not like." + +Ben smiled and said, "Maybe. That would be nice. But I am glad you are here. You are more important than a vest. You are my best friend." + +They hugged and went home. They were happy. They had each other. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. + +They see a shiny thing in the snow. It is a spark. It is from a firework that someone left. Lily and Ben are curious. They pick up the spark and look at it. It is bright and pretty. + +But the spark is also hot. It burns their fingers. They drop the spark and cry. The snowman looks sad. He does not like to see them hurt. + +Mama hears them and comes outside. She hugs them and takes them inside. She puts some ice on their fingers. She tells them the spark is dangerous. She says they should not touch it. She says they should only look at it from far away. + +Lily and Ben learn a new thing. They learn that some things are not good to touch. They learn that some things are icy and some things are hot. They say sorry to Mama and to the snowman. They promise to be careful next time. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a cute squirrel on a tree. The squirrel has a big nut in its mouth. Sara and Ben want to see the squirrel better. They go closer to the tree and gaze at the squirrel. + +"Hello, squirrel!" Sara says. "Can we be your friends?" + +The squirrel looks at Sara and Ben. It is not afraid of them. It makes a funny noise and jumps to another branch. Sara and Ben follow the squirrel with their eyes. They think the squirrel is very smart and fast. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben says. "The squirrel can jump so high and far!" + +The squirrel stops on a branch and eats the nut. It is very hungry and happy. It shares some of the nut with a bird. The bird is also cute and makes a nice song. Sara and Ben smile and clap their hands. They like the squirrel and the bird. + +"Thank you, squirrel!" Sara says. "You are very kind and fun!" + +The squirrel and the bird finish the nut. They say goodbye to Sara and Ben. They fly and run away to find more nuts. Sara and Ben wave to them. They are glad they met the cute animals. They go back to their mom and dad and tell them about their adventure. +Lily liked to play with her toy boat. She had a big tub of water in the garden, and she would put her boat in it and watch it sail. She liked to make waves with her hand and pretend there was a storm. She liked to sing songs about the sea and the fish and the pirates. + +One day, Lily's mom said they were going to the beach. Lily was very happy. She wanted to see the real sea and the real boats. She wanted to play in the sand and find shells. She asked her mom if she could bring her toy boat. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful not to lose it. + +They packed a bag with snacks and towels and sunscreen and Lily's toy boat. They got in the car and drove to the beach. Lily looked out the window and saw the blue water and the white waves. She saw big boats and small boats and people swimming and surfing. She was very excited. + +They found a nice spot on the sand and set up their things. Lily's mom put sunscreen on Lily and told her to stay close. Lily nodded and ran to the water with her toy boat. She put it in the shallow water and watched it sail. She made waves with her hand and sang songs. She was very happy. + +But then, a big wave came and swept Lily's boat away. Lily tried to catch it, but it was too fast. She saw it go further and further into the deep water. She was very scared. She cried and called for her mom. Her mom heard her and ran to her. She hugged her and told her it was okay. She said they would look for another boat. She said they could make one with paper or wood or plastic. She said they could decorate it with shells and stickers and paint. She said they could still have fun at the beach. + +Lily stopped crying and looked at her mom. She smiled and said she loved her. She said she was sorry for losing her boat. Her mom said she loved her too. She said it was not her fault. She said they could always get a new boat. She said they should enjoy the sun and the sand and the sea. She said they should have a snack and then build a sandcastle. She said they could pretend it was a pirate ship and sail to a treasure island. + +Lily liked that idea. She took her mom's hand and walked to their bag. She saw a surprise in it. It was a new toy boat. Her mom had bought it for her before they left. She had hidden it in the bag. She wanted to give it to Lily later. She said it was a gift for being a good girl. She said it was a special boat. She said it had a string attached to it, so it would not get lost. + +Lily was very happy. She hugged her mom and thanked her. She said it was the best boat ever. She said she wanted to try it right away. She took the boat and the string and ran to the water. She put the boat in it and watched it sail. She pulled the string and made it come back. She was very careful not to let it go. She sang songs and played with her boat. She was very happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but they wanted to buy more. They had an idea: they could sell some of their old toys to other kids and get money. + +They took a big box and put some toys inside. They also took a bottle of glue and a sign. They wrote "Toys for sale. Cheap!" on the sign with a marker. They glued the sign to the box and carried it outside. + +They put the box on the sidewalk and waited for customers. Soon, a boy came by and looked at the box. He saw a teddy bear, a truck, a doll, and a ball. He liked the teddy bear and asked, "How much is this?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not know how much to ask. They said, "One dollar." + +The boy said, "That's too much. I only have fifty cents." + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment. They did not want to lose the sale. They said, "OK, you can have it for fifty cents." + +The boy smiled and gave them the money. He took the teddy bear and said, "Thank you. Bye!" + +Lily and Ben put the money in a jar. They were happy. They had made their first sale. They hoped more kids would come and buy their toys. They wanted to save enough money to buy new toys. They liked selling and buying. It was fun. +Lila liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a long dress and a shiny crown. Lila pretended that Anna was a queen and she was her friend. + +One day, Lila's mom said they had to go to a big building. She said it was a court, where people made laws. Lila did not know what laws were, but she was curious. She took Anna with her and put her in her backpack. + +When they got to the court, Lila saw many people in suits and robes. They looked serious and busy. Lila's mom said they had to wait for their turn. She said they had to be quiet and respectful. Lila nodded and sat on a bench. She took Anna out of her backpack and whispered to her. + +"Look, Anna, this is where they make laws. Laws are rules that everyone has to follow. Do you have laws in your kingdom?" + +Anna did not answer, but Lila imagined she did. She imagined that Anna had good laws, like sharing toys and being kind. + +Soon, Lila's mom said it was their turn. She took Lila by the hand and led her to a big room. There was a big desk and a big chair. Behind the chair, there was a big flag. Lila's mom said that was the judge. The judge was the person who decided the laws. + +Lila saw the judge. He had a black robe and a white wig. He looked old and wise. He looked at Lila and smiled. He said hello and asked her name. Lila said her name and showed him Anna. The judge said Anna was a lovely doll. He asked if she was a queen. Lila said yes. + +The judge nodded and said he liked queens. He said he had a special gift for Lila and Anna. He reached under his desk and took out a small box. He opened it and showed Lila what was inside. It was a tiny crown, just like Anna's, but smaller. It was made of gold and had a red jewel in the middle. It sparkled in the light. + +The judge said it was a crown for Lila. He said it was a symbol of honor and justice. He said he wanted to give it to Lila because she was a good girl and a good friend. He said he hoped she would grow up to be a good citizen and a good leader. + +Lila was amazed. She could not believe the judge was giving her a crown. She felt happy and proud. She thanked the judge and took the crown. She put it on her head and felt like a queen. She looked at Anna and smiled. Anna smiled back. + +The judge said he was glad Lila liked the crown. He said he had one more thing to ask her. He asked her if she would kneel before him. He said it was a sign of respect and loyalty. He said he wanted to knight her and Anna. He said he wanted to make them part of his order of law. + +Lila did not know what knighting was, but she trusted the judge. She nodded and knelt before him. She held Anna in her arms. The judge took a small sword and touched it to Lila's shoulder. He said some words that Lila did not understand, but sounded important. He said he was making Lila and Anna knights of the law. He said they had a duty to uphold the law and protect the weak. He said they had a privilege to wear the crown and the sword. He said they had a honor to serve the judge and the flag. + +Lila felt a warm feeling in her chest. She felt like she was part of something big and good. She felt like she had a mission and a purpose. She felt like she had a friend and a mentor. She felt like she had a crown and a sword. + +She looked up at the judge and smiled. The judge smiled back and said he was proud of her. He said he hoped she would always remember this day. He said he hoped she would always be a knight of the law. + +Lila said she would. She said she would never forget. She said she would always be a knight of the law. + +She said it with a simple word that a 3 year old child would understand. + +She said it with a word that was impressive. + +She said it with a word that was true. + +She said it with a word that was her. + +She said it with a word that was Lila. +Tom and Anna are friends.

He is jealous of her book. + +Tom tries to take the book from Anna. They pull and push. The book falls on the floor. Some pages tear and some pictures get dirty. Anna and Tom cry. They are sorry for what they did. They hurt the book and each other. + +Mom hears them and comes to see. She is not happy. She says they were not careful with the book and with their friendship. She says they need to learn wisdom. Wisdom is knowing what is right and good. Wisdom is sharing and being kind. Wisdom is not being jealous and greedy. + +Mom helps them fix the book.

She says, "I will send the ball to one of you. You have to say your name and something you like. Then you send the ball to someone else. Do you understand?" + +The class nods. They think the game is fun. Miss Lee sends the ball to Tom. Tom catches the ball. He says, "My name is Tom. I like cars." He looks around and sees Anna. He smiles and sends the ball to her. + +Anna catches the ball. She says, "My name is Anna. I like..." She stops. She does not know what to say. She likes many things. She likes dolls, books, flowers, candy. She cannot choose one. She feels confused. She looks at Miss Lee. She looks at Tom. She looks at the other kids. They are all waiting for her to say something. + +Anna feels embarrassed. She feels her face get hot. She wants to hide. She does not want to play the game anymore. She starts to cry.

She finds Anna and sits next to her. She says, "Anna, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" + +Anna looks at Miss Lee. She says, "I don't know what to say. I like many things. I don't want to play the game. I feel embarrassed." + +Miss Lee hugs Anna. She says, "It's okay, Anna. You don't have to be embarrassed. It's hard to choose sometimes. You can say anything you like. It doesn't matter. The game is just for fun. You are a smart and sweet girl. I like you. Do you want to come back and play with us?" + +Anna wipes her tears. She nods. She says, "Yes, please. I'm sorry, Miss Lee. I want to play with you and Tom and the others." + +Miss Lee smiles. She says, "Good. Let's go then. I'm sure they miss you too."

He did not tell Lily. + +Lily finished cutting the fabric. She looked for her needle. She could not find it. She was very sad. She asked her mom and dad. They did not know. She asked her brother. He said he did not know. + +Lily cried. She could not sew without her needle. She loved her needle. She wished she had put it in a safe place. + +Tom felt bad. He saw Lily cry.

They celebrate with the junk. + +But then, a man comes. He is angry. He says the junk is his. He says the junk is not for playing. He says the junk is for recycling. He takes the junk away. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They do not have the junk anymore. They do not have anything to play with. + +"Let's go to my house," Lily says. "We can play with my toys. They are pretty, too." + +"OK," Ben says. "Maybe we can find some more junk later." + +They hold hands and walk to Lily's house. They are still friends. They still celebrate. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play outside in the big yard. One day, they see a big bird in the sky. It is black and white and has a long neck. + +"Look, Ben, a bird!" Lily says. + +"Wow, it is so big and pretty!" Ben says. + +They run after the bird, but it flies away. They follow it with their eyes. It goes to the west, where the sun sets. + +"Where is it going?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe it is going to its home," Ben says. + +They want to see the bird's home. They keep running to the west, but they do not see the bird anymore. They see a big fence.

They have a comfortable home there, where it is warm," she says. + +"Can we go to the west too, mom?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe someday, my sweeties. But for now, let's go inside. It is getting dark and cold. We have a comfortable home here too, where we can cuddle and read stories," she says. + +They go inside with their mom. They are happy and warm. They love their mom and their home. They do not need to go to the west. They have everything they need here. +Sam and Mia liked to play pirate in the backyard. They had a big cardboard box that they pretended was a ship. They wore hats and eye patches and said "Arrr!" a lot. + +One day, they saw an elderly man walking by their fence. He had a long white beard and a wooden leg. He looked like a real pirate! + +"Hello, little pirates," he said. "Do you need a captain for your ship?" + +Sam and Mia were curious. They ran to the fence and said, "Who are you?" + +"I'm Captain Pete," he said. "I used to sail the seas and look for treasure. But now I'm too old for that. I just like to walk and talk to nice children." + +"Wow," said Sam. "Can you tell us a story about your adventures?" + +"Of course," said Captain Pete. "But first, can you provide me with some water? I'm very thirsty." + +Sam and Mia nodded. They ran inside and got a glass of water. They gave it to Captain Pete and climbed on their box.

He checked if the car was okay. + +Timmy felt scared and sorry. He knew he did something bad.

He told him why he should not take things that are not his. He told him why he should listen to Lily and to him. + +Timmy felt uncomfortable and bored. He did not like lectures. He nodded and said yes, but he did not really understand. He wished Daddy would stop talking and hug him. + +Lily watched from the floor. She felt sorry for Timmy, but she also felt a little smug.

He sees many small kids. He says, "Who are you? You are not in my park. You have to go away too." Their club of friends reply, "No, we are not going away. We are in our park. We have to stick together. You have to go away." + +The big boy is scared. He sees that he is outnumbered. He says, "Fine, fine. I will go away. But this fort is still mine. I will come back later."

They do not play with the pole again. +Anna and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Anna was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran away and looked for a good spot to hide. He saw a big van parked near the trees. He thought it was a good place to hide, so he opened the door and climbed inside. + +Anna counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looked around the park and tried to find Ben. She checked behind the swings, under the slide, and in the bushes, but she could not see him. She wondered where he was. + +Ben was hiding in the van, but he was not happy. It was dark and hot and smelly inside. He heard strange noises and saw scary shadows. He wanted to get out, but he was afraid Anna would find him. He felt miserable and wished he had picked a different spot to hide. + +Anna was getting tired of looking for Ben. She thought he was hiding too well. She decided to give up and call him. She shouted, "Ben, where are you? I can't find you.

I was hiding in the van, but it was a bad idea. It was scary and yucky in there. I don't want to hide there again." + +Anna smiled and said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you're out. The van was not a good place to hide. Next time, let's hide somewhere else. Somewhere fun and safe and nice." + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, let's do that. You're a good friend, Anna." + +Anna and Ben held hands and walked back to the playground. They decided to play something else instead of hide and seek.

She gave it to Sam. + +"Here, you can use this stick. It is helpful. You can poke the orange with the stick and make it fall." + +Sam took the stick. He tried to poke the orange with the stick. But the stick was too short. He could not reach the orange. + +"Oh no, this stick is not helpful. It is too short. What can we do?" Sam said. + +Lily thought for a moment. She saw a bench near the tree. She had another idea. + +"Let's move the bench. We can put it under the tree. Then we can stand on the bench and use the stick. It will be helpful. We can reach the orange." + +Lily and Sam moved the bench. They put it under the tree. They climbed on the bench. They used the stick. They poked the orange with the stick. The orange fell to the ground. + +"Yay, we did it! We got the orange!" Lily and Sam cheered. + +They picked up the orange. They peeled the orange.

You deserve the prize." + +Ben is angry. He feels left out. He says, "I don't want a hug. I want a flower. I want Sara's flower. It is bigger and prettier than mine."

Give me back my flower. You are a bad and mean boy. You ruined my flower. You cheated." She tries to grab her flower back from Ben. + +Uncle Tom is mad. He says, "Ben, what are you doing?

It is mine, mine, mine. I don't care. I don't like you. I don't like Sara. I don't like flowers. I hate this game." He throws the flower on the ground and stomps on it. He says, "There, there, there. Now no one has a flower. Now no one wins. Ha, ha, ha." + +The flower is crushed and broken. Sara and uncle Tom are sad and angry. They look at Ben and shake their heads.

She said, "No, Mommy. I want cookies. I am hungry. Cookies are good." + +Mommy sighed. She was worried about Sara. She did not want her to get more sick. She said, "Sara, listen to me. Cookies are not good for you right now. You need to eat soup and bread and fruit. They will make you feel better. The doctor will give you some medicine too. He is very nice. He will bring you a sticker and a balloon. But you have to share the cookies with him. He likes cookies too. Can you do that?" + +Sara thought about it. She liked stickers and balloons. She liked the doctor. He was nice. He always made her laugh. She did not want to make him sad. She did not want to be sick anymore. She nodded. She said, "Okay, Mommy.

But then you have to put the jar back and get down from the chair. And then you have to wash your hands and face and get ready for the doctor. Deal?" + +Sara said, "Deal."

He thinks they want to play with him. + +"Go away, Max, go away!" Lily and Ben say, running to the house. + +They leave the truck and the smelly poop behind. They do not want to play with the truck anymore. They want to play with something else. Something clean and nice. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big box under a tree. It was covered with a cloth. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go and look," Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful," Tom said. + +They ran to the box and pulled the cloth. They saw many old things. There were books, toys, clothes, and pictures. They liked the old things. They wanted to play with them. + +"Look, a hat!" Lily said. She put it on her head. It was too big for her. + +"Look, a car!" Tom said. He picked it up. It had four wheels and a horn. + +They stepped in the box and tried the old things. They had fun. They pretended to be different people. + +"I am a queen," Lily said. She wore a dress and a necklace. + +"I am a driver," Tom said. He drove the car and honked the horn. + +They laughed and played. They did not see the old man who came to the garden. He was the owner of the box. He was angry. + +"Hey, you kids! Get out of my box!" he shouted. "Those are my old things. You can't touch them!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the old things and ran away. They did not want to play with the old things anymore. They wanted to go home. +Sara and Ben wanted to decorate the big tree in the yard. They had many light balls and stars and ribbons. They also had a big star for the top of the tree. + +"Can you help me, Ben?" Sara asked. She was holding the big star and a long handle. The handle was for reaching the top of the tree. "I want to put the star on the tree." + +"OK, Sara. I will help you." Ben said. He took the other end of the handle and lifted it up. Sara and Ben walked to the tree with the star and the handle. + +They tried to put the star on the tree, but it was too high. They could not reach the top of the tree. They pushed and pulled the handle, but it did not help. + +"Oh no, Sara. We can't do it." Ben said. He was sad. He wanted to see the star on the tree. + +"Don't be sad, Ben. We can do it." Sara said. She had an idea. She saw a big box near the tree. "Look, Ben. We can use the box. We can stand on the box and then we can reach the top of the tree." + +Sara and Ben put the box under the tree. They climbed on the box with the star and the handle. They lifted the star and the handle again. This time, they could reach the top of the tree. They put the star on the tree. It was very light and shiny. + +"Yay, Sara. We did it." Ben said. He was happy. He clapped his hands. + +"Yay, Ben. We did it." Sara said. She was happy. She hugged Ben. + +They looked at the tree. It was very beautiful. They smiled. They wanted to decorate the tree more. They had many light balls and stars and ribbons. They had fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big stick on the ground. It was brown and long and hard. + +"Look, a stick!" Lily said. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK!" Ben said. "I want to be a knight and you can be a princess!" + +They took the stick and pretended to fight with it. They made noises like swords and horses. They had fun. + +But then, a dog appeared. It was black and furry and fast. It saw the stick and wanted it. It ran towards Lily and Ben and barked. + +"Wow, a dog!" Lily said. "Hello, doggy!" + +"Go away, doggy!" Ben said. "This is our stick!" + +The dog did not listen. It jumped and grabbed the stick with its teeth. It pulled and tugged and ran away with the stick. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. "Give us back our stick!" + +"Come back, doggy!" Ben said. "We need our stick!" + +They chased the dog, but it was too fast. It disappeared behind some trees. Lily and Ben stopped and looked sad. + +They lost their stick. They could not play anymore. + +They hugged each other and said, "I'm sorry." + +They walked back to the park. They hoped to find another stick. Or maybe a ball. Or maybe a friend. They still wanted to play. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide that was silver and shiny. Lily wanted to go on the slide, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" Lily said. "The slide is amazing, you will go very fast and feel happy." + +"No, Lily, I don't want to go. The slide is too high and too slippery. I will fall and hurt myself." Ben said. He shook his head and held on to Lily's hand. + +Lily saw that Ben was really afraid. She did not want to make him feel bad. She was a good friend. She smiled and said, "It's okay, Ben, you don't have to go on the slide if you don't want to. I accept that you are scared. Maybe we can play something else. Do you want to swing or climb or run?" + +Ben felt better when he heard Lily's words. He was glad that she was not angry or mean. He was a good friend too. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Lily, for accepting me. I want to swing with you. Maybe next time I will try the slide." + +Lily and Ben ran to the swings. They pushed each other and laughed. They had a lot of fun. They were happy to be friends. +Lily and Lila are twins. They like to play with dolls and dress them up. One day, they find a big box of old clothes in the attic. They decide to design new outfits for their dolls. + +Lily picks a red dress and cuts it with scissors. She makes a skirt and a hat for her doll. She puts some buttons and ribbons on them. She says, "Look, Lila, my doll is a princess!" + +Lila picks a blue shirt and a yellow pants. She tears them with her hands. She makes a cape and a mask for her doll. She puts some stickers and feathers on them. She says, "Look, Lily, my doll is a superhero!" + +They show their dolls to each other and laugh. They think their dolls are very pretty and cool. They hug and say, "We are good designers!" + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is their cat, Max. He is fat and hungry. He sees the box of clothes and jumps on it. He thinks it is a toy. He scratches and bites the clothes. He makes a big mess. + +Lily and Lila are scared and angry. They shout, "Max, stop! You are ruining our designs!" + +Max does not listen. He keeps playing with the clothes. He thinks they are fun. He purrs and meows. He does not care. +Will was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of cars, trains, and planes that he could zoom around the floor. He also had a big teddy bear that he hugged when he was sleepy. + +One night, Will was playing with his toys in his room. He did not want to go to bed, even though his mom told him it was time. He said, "No, mom, I want to play more!" + +His mom said, "Will, you have to go to bed. It is dark outside and you need to rest. You can play with your toys again tomorrow." + +Will did not listen. He kept playing with his toys, making loud noises and pretending they were flying and crashing. He did not notice that his eyes were getting heavy and his mouth was opening wide. + +He yawned and yawned, but he did not want to stop playing. He thought he was having fun, but he was really very tired. He did not see that his teddy bear was watching him from the bed, feeling sad and lonely. + +The teddy bear wanted to cuddle with Will and help him fall asleep. He knew that Will needed to sleep to grow and be healthy. He also knew that Will loved him very much, even though he sometimes forgot him. + +The teddy bear waited and waited, hoping that Will would come to bed. He felt helpless and sad. He wished he could talk to Will and tell him how he felt. + +Finally, Will was so sleepy that he could not play anymore. He dropped his toys and stumbled to his bed. He saw his teddy bear and smiled. He said, "Sorry, teddy, I forgot you. Do you want to sleep with me?" + +The teddy bear nodded and hugged Will. He was happy and relieved. He said, "Yes, Will, I want to sleep with you. I love you, Will." + +Will said, "I love you, too, teddy." He snuggled with his teddy bear and closed his eyes. He fell asleep and had sweet dreams. His mom came and tucked them in. She kissed them both and said, "Good night, Will and teddy. Sleep tight." +Lila and Tom are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They pretend that they are drivers who deliver things to different places. Lila has a red car and Tom has a blue car. + +"Beep beep! I have a delivery for you!" Lila says, driving her car to Tom's car. "What is it?" Tom asks, opening his car door. "It's a furry teddy bear! It's very soft and cuddly!" Lila says, handing him the bear. "Wow, thank you! It's so nice!" Tom says, hugging the bear. + +"Beep beep! I have a delivery for you too!" Tom says, driving his car to Lila's car. "What is it?" Lila asks, opening her car door. "It's a dust bunny! It's very fluffy and funny!" Tom says, giving her the dust bunny. "Ew, yuck! It's so dirty!" Lila says, throwing the dust bunny away. + +Tom laughs and says, "It's just a joke! I have a real delivery for you. It's a chocolate cake! It's very yummy and sweet!" Tom says, taking out the cake. "Mmm, that's better! Thank you! It's so good!" Lila says, taking a bite of the cake. + +They share the cake and the teddy bear and play some more. They have a lot of fun with their toy cars and their deliveries. They are very happy and friendly. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the jungle near their home. They saw many animals and plants there. They had fun. + +One day, they found a big cave in the jungle. They wanted to see what was inside. They walked into the cave. It was dark and cold. They heard a loud roar. + +"Stop!" Tom said. "I hear something. Maybe it is a lion or a bear. We should go back." + +But Sam was not scared. He wanted to see more. He said, "No, let's keep going. Maybe we will find treasure or a secret. You are slow and silly." + +He ran deeper into the cave. Tom followed him. He did not want to be alone. He hoped Sam was right. + +But Sam was wrong. The roar was not a lion or a bear. It was a dragon. A big, red, angry dragon. It saw the boys and breathed fire at them. + +"Help!" Sam shouted. "It is a dragon! Run!" + +Tom and Sam ran as fast as they could. They dodged the fire and the claws. They reached the cave mouth. They ran out of the jungle. They were safe. + +They hugged each other. They were sorry. They said, "We are sorry. We were foolish. We will not go into the cave again. We will listen to each other. We will be careful." + +They learned their lesson. They never played in the jungle again. They played in the yard instead. They had fun. +Sara and Ben were twins. They liked to play together in the garden. One day, it was their birthday. They were very happy. + +"Look, Mom made a cake for us!" Sara said. "It has candles and sprinkles. Can we eat it now?" + +"Not yet, sweeties," Mom said. "We have to wait for Dad and Grandma. They are coming soon. Why don't you help me tidy the table?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They put the plates and cups on the table. They also put some balloons and streamers. They wanted to make the table look pretty. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked outside and saw dark clouds. It started to rain. + +"Oh no, the rain will ruin our party!" Ben said. He felt sad. + +"Don't worry, Ben," Sara said. She hugged him. "We can still have fun inside. Maybe we can play a game or read a book." + +They went to the living room and looked for something to do. Mom followed them. + +"Look, Sara and Ben!" Mom said. She pointed to the window. "There is something beautiful in the sky. Do you know what it is?" + +Sara and Ben looked and saw a rainbow. It had many colors. It was bright and shiny. + +"It's a rainbow, Mom!" Sara said. "It's so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is," Mom said. "A rainbow is a sign of hope and joy. It means that after the rain, there is always something good. Just like after this hard time, we will always have each other." + +Sara and Ben smiled. They felt happy again. + +"Can we celebrate our birthday with the rainbow, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, we can," Mom said. "Let's go to the kitchen and light the candles. Maybe we can make a wish for the rainbow to stay with us." + +Sara and Ben agreed. They ran to the kitchen and hugged Mom. They were ready to celebrate their birthday with the rainbow. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together at school. One day, Lily gives Tom an invitation. It is a card with a picture of a cake and candles. Lily says, "It is my birthday soon. Do you want to visit me and have cake?" + +Tom is happy. He likes cake. He says, "Yes, I want to visit you and have cake. Thank you for the invitation. When is your birthday?" + +Lily says, "It is on Saturday. You can come at two o'clock. My mom will make the cake. It will be chocolate. Do you like chocolate?" + +Tom says, "I love chocolate. It is my favorite. I will bring you a present. It is a surprise. I hope you will like it." + +Lily says, "I am sure I will like it. You are a good friend. I can't wait to see you on Saturday." + +On Saturday, Tom goes to Lily's house with his mom. He has a big box with a bow. He knocks on the door. Lily opens it. She is wearing a pink dress and a crown. She looks very happy. But she also looks very pale. Tom says, "Hello, Lily. Happy birthday. You look very pretty. But you also look very pale. Are you sick?" + +Lily says, "Hello, Tom. Thank you for coming. And thank you for the present. I am not sick. I am just very excited. I have never had a birthday party before. Come in. There are more friends inside. And there is cake. Lots of cake." +Anna loved to bake with her mom. They would mix flour, eggs, sugar and butter in a big bowl. Then they would roll out the dough and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Anna liked to make stars, hearts and flowers. Mom liked to make circles and squares. + +One day, mom had a surprise for Anna. She said, "Anna, today we are going to bake for someone special. We are going to bake for Mr. Lee, our neighbor. He is very sick and he needs some cheer. Do you want to help me?" + +Anna nodded. She wanted to help mom and Mr. Lee. She said, "Yes, mom, I want to help. What can we bake for him?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "We can bake him some banana bread. He loves bananas. And we can also bake him some chocolate chip cookies. He loves chocolate. And we can also bake him some oatmeal raisin cookies. He loves oatmeal and raisins. Do you think he will like them?" + +Anna nodded again. She said, "Yes, mom, I think he will like them. He will be very happy. Can we put a card with them?" + +Mom hugged Anna. She said, "Of course, we can put a card with them. We can write, 'Get well soon, Mr. Lee. We are thinking of you. Love, Anna and mom.' Do you like that?" + +Anna nodded again. She said, "Yes, mom, I like that. Let's bake now." + +They baked the banana bread and the cookies. They wrapped them in foil and put them in a basket. They also made the card and put it in the basket. Then they put on their coats and shoes and walked to Mr. Lee's house. They knocked on the door. + +Mr. Lee opened the door. He looked pale and tired. But when he saw Anna and mom, he smiled. He said, "Hello, Anna and mom. What a nice surprise. What do you have there?" + +Anna and mom gave him the basket. They said, "We baked these for you, Mr. Lee. We hope you like them. We hope you feel better soon." + +Mr. Lee took the basket. He looked inside. He saw the banana bread and the cookies. He saw the card. He said, "Oh, thank you, Anna and mom. You are so kind and thoughtful. These look delicious. I appreciate them very much. You made my day." + +Anna and mom were happy. They were glad they could make Mr. Lee happy. They said, "You're welcome, Mr. Lee. We are happy to see you smile. We are your friends. We care about you." + +Mr. Lee said, "You are my friends, too. I care about you, too. You are a wonderful reward for me. I am very grateful for you." + +They hugged and said goodbye. Anna and mom walked back home. They felt warm and good inside. They had baked with love. They had given with love. They had received with love. They had learned a lesson. Baking is fun. But baking for someone who needs it is even more fun. And it is the best reward of all. +Lily was a nosy girl. She liked to look at things that were not hers. She liked to open drawers and cupboards and see what was inside. She did not care if her mom or dad said no. + +One day, Lily saw a big cupboard in the hall. It was new and shiny. She wanted to know what was in it. She waited until her mom and dad were busy. Then she sneaked to the cupboard and opened it. + +Inside, she saw a lot of bottles and cans. They had different colors and shapes. Some had pictures of fruits or flowers. Some had words she could not read. Lily was curious. She wanted to smell and taste them. She reached for a bottle that had a picture of a lemon. + +"Stop!" a voice said. It was her dad. He had followed her to the cupboard. He looked angry and scared. "That is not for you, Lily. That is poison. It can make you very sick or even die. You must never touch it. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She felt sorry and afraid. She did not know it was poison. She thought it was juice. She wanted to say sorry, but her dad did not let her. He grabbed the bottle from her hand and put it back in the cupboard. He locked the cupboard with a key. He took Lily to her room and shut the door. + +Lily cried. She wished she had not been so nosy. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. She wished she had not opened the cupboard. She wished she had not touched the poison. She wished her dad would forgive her. But he did not. He was too angry and disappointed. He did not talk to her for a long time. Lily felt very lonely and sad. She learned a hard lesson. She never opened the cupboard again. +Lila and Ben are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going to the zoo. Lila is very happy. She wants to see the lions and the monkeys. Ben is bored. He does not like the car. He says it is too long. + +"Are we there yet?" Ben asks. + +"No, not yet. We have to drive a long way," Mom says. + +"Can we stop and get some gas?" Dad asks. + +"Yes, we need gas. The car is thirsty," Mom says. + +They stop at a gas station. Dad gets out of the car. He puts the gas in the car. Lila and Ben watch him. They see a big truck next to them. The truck has a lot of animals on it. Lila and Ben are curious. + +"Look, Ben! There are animals on the truck!" Lila says. + +"Wow, you are right! I see a giraffe and a zebra and a camel!" Ben says. + +They roll down the window. They wave at the animals. The animals look at them. The giraffe sticks out its long tongue. The zebra makes a noise. The camel spits. + +"Hi, animals! We are going to the zoo too!" Lila says. + +"Me too! Me too!" Ben says. + +They hear a voice from the truck. It is the driver. He is wearing a hat and a jacket. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, kids! Do you like animals?" he asks. + +"Yes, we love animals!" Lila and Ben say. + +"That's good. These animals are going to the zoo too. They are new. They came from far away. They are very special," he says. + +"Can we hold them?" Lila asks. + +"Sorry, no. They are not ready to be held. They are still scared. They need time to get used to their new home. But you can see them at the zoo. They will be happy there," he says. + +"OK, thank you. Bye, animals!" Lila and Ben say. + +"Bye, kids! Have fun at the zoo!" he says. + +Dad finishes putting gas in the car. He gets back in. He starts the car. They drive away. Lila and Ben are excited. They can't wait to see the animals at the zoo. They hold hands. They are happy. +Sara and Tom like to go to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They see many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. Sara and Tom are happy and curious. + +One day, they see a new animal. It is big and gray, with a long nose and big ears. It is an elephant. Sara and Tom want to get closer and see it better. + +"Can we enter the cage, Mom?" Sara asks. + +"No, Sara, you can't. The cage is for the elephant, not for you. It is not safe to enter the cage. The elephant might hurt you or be scared of you," Mom says. + +"But why is the elephant in the cage, Mom? It looks sad and thin. It has no friends and no space to play," Tom says. + +Mom sighs. She feels sorry for the elephant too. She knows it is not happy in the cage. + +"The elephant is in the cage because it was taken from its home in the wild. Some bad people wanted to sell it or use it for work. They did not care about the elephant. They made it thin and sick. The zoo people rescued the elephant and brought it here. They are trying to help it and make it healthy again. Maybe one day, they can send it back to its home, where it can be free and happy," Mom explains. + +Sara and Tom feel sad for the elephant. They wish they could help it too. They decide to draw a picture of the elephant and give it to the zoo people. They hope the picture will make the elephant smile. They also hope the elephant will find its way back to its home soon. +Ben and Mia like to play soccer in the park. They have a big ball and a whistle. Ben kicks the ball to Mia and Mia kicks it back. They run and laugh and have fun. + +But then a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the ball and wants to play too. The dog runs after the ball and grabs it with his mouth. He shakes the ball and makes it dirty. Ben and Mia are scared and angry. + +"Hey, dog, give us our ball back!" Ben shouts. He blows the whistle to make the dog go away. But the dog does not listen. He thinks the whistle is a toy and he likes the sound. He runs to Ben and tries to take the whistle. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. The dog bites his hand and makes it hurt. Ben feels uncomfortable and sad. He drops the whistle and the dog takes it. He runs away with the ball and the whistle. + +Mia runs to Ben and hugs him. She sees his hand and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you OK?" She helps him get up and they go to find their mom. They tell her what happened and she gives them a band-aid and a hug. She says, "Don't worry, Ben. Your hand will get better soon. And we can buy a new ball and a new whistle. But next time, be careful of big dogs. They don't always know how to play nice." Ben and Mia nod and say, "OK, mom." They still love soccer, but they don't like big dogs. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big building near the park. It has a big wheel that spins and makes noise. + +"What is that?" Tim asks. + +"That is a mill," Jen says. "My dad works there. He makes flour from wheat." + +"Flour? What is flour?" Tim asks. + +"Flour is what you use to make bread and cake and cookies," Jen says. "Do you want to see how it works?" + +Tim nods. He is curious. Jen takes his hand and they walk to the mill. They see a man at the door. He is Jen's dad. + +"Hi, dad," Jen says. "Can we see the mill?" + +"Sure, honey," Jen's dad says. "But you have to be careful. The mill is loud and busy. Stay close to me and do what I say." + +Jen's dad takes them inside the mill. They see big machines that crush the wheat and turn it into flour. They see bags of flour that are ready to go to the bakery. They see workers who check the machines and the flour. + +Jen's dad teaches them how the mill works. He shows them the different parts of the machines and the different kinds of flour. He lets them touch and smell the flour. He gives them a cookie that he made with the flour. + +Tim and Jen are happy. They learn a lot. They thank Jen's dad for the cookie and the tour. + +"Can we come back another day?" Tim asks. + +"Of course," Jen's dad says. "But only with me or your mom or dad. The mill is not a place to play alone. It can be dangerous." + +Tim and Jen understand. They are not anxious. They are brave. They hug Jen's dad and say goodbye. They go back to the park and share their cookie. They talk about the mill and what they learned. They are proud of their new knowledge. They are good friends. +Sara and Ben were playing with their blocks. They wanted to build a big tower that reached the sky. They worked hard and put one block on top of another. They were almost done. + +"Look, Sara, our tower is so tall!" Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben, it is. We only need one more block to complete it!" Sara said. + +They looked around for the last block. They saw it on the other side of the room, near the sofa. They ran to get it. But they did not see their elderly cat, Max, sleeping on the sofa. Max was old and tired. He did not like loud noises or fast movements. + +As Sara and Ben reached for the block, they bumped into the sofa. The sofa shook and Max woke up. He was angry and scared. He hissed and jumped off the sofa. He landed on the tower and knocked it down. The blocks fell everywhere. + +"Meow!" Max said. + +"Oh no!" Sara and Ben said. + +They looked at their tower. It was gone. They felt sad and mad. They had worked so hard to build it. They wanted to complete it. They glared at Max. Max glared back. + +"Bad cat!" Sara and Ben said. + +"Bad kids!" Max said. + +They did not want to play with each other anymore. They went to their own corners and sulked. They learned a lesson. They should have been more careful and respectful. Maybe next time, they would complete their tower. And maybe next time, Max would let them. +Tom and Lily like to play at the park. They like to slide, climb and swing. One day, they see a big red truck near the park. It is a fire truck. They run to see it. + +"Wow, look at the fire truck!" Tom says. "It has a ladder and a hose and a siren." + +"I want to be a fireman when I grow up," Lily says. "Firemen are smart and brave. They help people and animals." + +A fireman comes out of the truck. He smiles at Tom and Lily. He is wearing a helmet and a coat. + +"Hello, kids," he says. "Do you like the fire truck?" + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Lily say. + +"Would you like to see it closer?" the fireman asks. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily say. + +The fireman takes them to the truck. He shows them the ladder and the hose and the siren. He lets them sit in the driver's seat and wear his helmet. + +"Thank you, fireman," Tom and Lily say. "You are smart and brave. You have a cool job." + +"You're welcome, kids," the fireman says. "You are smart and brave, too. You can be anything you want when you grow up." + +Tom and Lily hug the fireman. They say goodbye to him and the truck. They run back to the park. They slide, climb and swing. They are happy. They have a new friend. He is a fireman. +Sara and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a pond with many ducks. Sara and Ben liked the ducks. They wanted to touch them. + +"Can we touch the ducks, Mom?" Sara asked. + +"No, you can't touch the ducks. They might bite you or run away. You can look at them and feed them bread, but don't touch them," Mom said. + +But Sara and Ben did not listen to Mom. They ran to the pond and tried to touch the ducks. The ducks did not like that. They quacked and flapped their wings. One duck bit Sara's finger. Another duck splashed water on Ben's face. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Sara cried. + +"Help! Help! Help!" Ben shouted. + +Mom heard them and ran to the pond. She saw Sara and Ben crying and the ducks angry. She was very mad. + +"What did you do? I told you not to touch the ducks! You are very naughty! You hurt the ducks and yourselves! Come here, right now!" Mom yelled. + +She took Sara and Ben by the hand and dragged them away from the pond. Sara and Ben felt dizzy and sore. They knew they did a bad thing. They wished they listened to Mom. They did not have fun at the park. They had a bad day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to look for stones and make signs with them. They made signs for their names, for animals, for shapes. They had fun. + +But then a big boy came. He was mean. He kicked their signs and laughed. He said they were stupid and babyish. He took their stones and threw them away. + +Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They wanted to stop him. They tried to get their stones back. But the big boy was stronger and faster. He pushed them and hurt them. + +"Go away, you little losers!" he shouted. "You can't play here. This is my park. Your signs are dumb and ugly. You are dumb and ugly." + +Tom and Lily were scared and embarrassed. They cried. They ran away. They did not want to play anymore. They did not want to make signs anymore. They felt bad. They hated the big boy. They wished he would go away. But he did not. He stayed and played with their stones. He made his own signs. He was happy. He did not care. +Tom and Mia like to play in the woods. They run and jump and hide behind trees. One day, they see a big branch on the ground. It looks like a good place to sit and rest. + +Tom runs to the branch and sits on it. He feels comfortable and happy. He calls Mia to join him. Mia runs to the branch too, but she does not see a small rock on the way. She stumbles on the rock and falls down. She hurts her knee and starts to cry. + +Tom hears Mia cry and jumps off the branch. He runs to Mia and helps her up. He sees her knee is red and has a scratch. He says he is sorry and gives her a hug. He tells her they can go back to the house and get a band-aid and a cookie. + +Mia stops crying and nods. She holds Tom's hand and they walk back to the house. They leave the branch behind, but they do not forget their fun in the woods. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big drum in the garage. They want to make noise with the drum. + +"Let me hit the drum first!" Tom says. + +"No, I want to hit the drum first!" Sam says. + +They both grab the drumstick and pull hard. The drumstick breaks in two. Tom and Sam are sad. + +They see a lighter on the floor. They think it is a toy. They pick it up and press the button. A flame comes out of the lighter. + +"Wow, look at the fire!" Tom says. + +"Let's burn the drum!" Sam says. + +They hold the lighter to the drum. The drum catches fire. It makes a loud boom. Tom and Sam are scared. The fire is hot and bright. It hurts their eyes and skin. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Sam scream. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise. They run to the garage. They see the fire and the smoke. They are angry and worried. + +They grab Tom and Sam and take them out of the garage. They call the fireman. The fireman comes with a big truck. He puts out the fire with water. He checks Tom and Sam for injuries. + +"Are you okay, boys?" the fireman asks. + +Tom and Sam nod. They have some red marks on their hands and faces. They are not badly hurt. + +"You are very lucky," the fireman says. "You should never play with fire. Fire is not a toy. Fire can burn and hurt you and your things. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nod again. They are sorry. They say sorry to Mom and Dad and the fireman. They hug Mom and Dad and thank the fireman. + +They learn a lesson. They will never play with fire again. They will be careful with their toys. They will share the drum and take turns. They will be good friends. +Anna and Ben were twins who loved to swim in the pool. They had a big pool in their backyard, and they played there every day. They had many toys and games to enjoy in the water. + +One day, Anna found a shiny coin at the bottom of the pool. She was very happy and showed it to Ben. "Look, Ben, I found a magic coin! It can make wishes come true!" she said. + +Ben did not believe her. He thought she was lying. He wanted the coin for himself. He said, "That's not a magic coin, Anna. That's just a regular coin. Give it to me, it's mine!" + +Anna was hurt and angry. She did not want to give her coin to Ben. She said, "No, Ben, it's not yours. I found it, it's mine! And it is a magic coin, I know it!" + +They started to fight over the coin. They pulled and pushed and yelled at each other. They did not have fun in the pool anymore. They were frustrated and sad. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the coin. She said, "Stop, Anna and Ben! What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a coin?" + +They told her their story. She listened and shook her head. She said, "Anna and Ben, you are both wrong. That coin is not magic, and it is not yours. It belongs to someone else. Someone who lost it in the pool. You should not keep it, you should return it. That is the right thing to do." + +Anna and Ben felt ashamed. They realized they were being selfish and mean. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Anna. Sorry, Ben. You are right, mom. We should not keep the coin. We should return it." + +They gave the coin to their mom. She said, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. I'm proud of you. You learned a valuable lesson today. You learned that honesty is better than greed, and sharing is better than fighting. You also learned that magic is not in coins, but in your hearts. If you believe in yourself and in each other, you can make your dreams come true." + +Anna and Ben hugged their mom and each other. They felt happy and peaceful. They said, "We love you, mom. We love you, Anna. We love you, Ben. We believe in ourselves and in each other. We are happy in the pool." They smiled and went back to play in the water. They had many toys and games to enjoy, but the best thing they had was each other. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. One night, they saw the moon in the sky. It was big and bright and round. + +"Look, Lily, the moon is smiling at us!" Max said. + +"Hi, moon!" Lily said. "You are very pretty. Can we be your friends?" + +The moon did not answer, but it seemed to wink at them. + +"Maybe the moon is shy," Max said. "We should be polite and say good night." + +"Good night, moon," Lily and Max said together. "We hope to see you again soon." + +They went inside and got ready for bed. Their mom tucked them in and kissed them. + +"Did you have fun outside?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom, we saw the moon and talked to it," Lily said. + +"We were polite and said good night," Max said. + +"That's very nice of you," mom said. "The moon is a good friend to have. Do you remember the song I taught you about the moon?" + +"Yes, mom, we remember," Lily and Max said. + +They sang the song softly with their mom. It went like this: + +I see the moon and the moon sees me +God bless the moon and God bless me +I love the moon and the moon loves me +Good night, moon, and good night, me + +They finished the song and closed their eyes. They dreamed of the moon and its smile. +Tom liked to go to the park with his mom and dad. He liked to see the birds, the flowers, and the trees. He liked to play with his ball and his kite. He liked to have fun in nature. + +One day, he saw a big dog in the park. The dog was brown and furry. It had a long tail and a wet nose. Tom wanted to pet the dog. He ran to the dog and said, "Hi, doggy! Can I touch you?" + +But the dog did not like Tom. The dog barked and growled. It showed its teeth and its ears. It scared Tom. Tom dropped his ball and his kite. He cried and ran back to his mom and dad. + +The dog's owner came and said, "I'm sorry, little boy. My dog is not friendly. He does not like strangers. He is afraid of them. You should not run to him. You should ask me first." + +Tom felt embarrassed. He did not know the dog was afraid. He did not mean to make the dog angry. He said, "I'm sorry, too. I like dogs. I wanted to be nice to him. I did not ask you. I was wrong." + +The dog's owner smiled and said, "It's okay, little boy. You did not know. You learned something today. Next time, you will be more careful. Do you want to say sorry to my dog?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, please." He walked slowly to the dog. He said, "Sorry, doggy. I did not mean to scare you. You are a good dog. Can we be friends?" + +The dog wagged its tail and licked Tom's hand. He was not angry anymore. He was happy. Tom smiled and petted the dog. He was not scared anymore. He was happy, too. + +Tom's mom and dad hugged him and said, "We are proud of you, Tom. You were brave and polite. You made a new friend. You did well." + +Tom said, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you. I love nature. I love dogs." He picked up his ball and his kite. He played with the dog and the dog's owner. He had fun in the park. He was happy. +Sara liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a pretty blouse with flowers and buttons in the closet. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt like a princess. + +She wanted to show her mom how nice she looked. She ran downstairs to find her mom in the kitchen. "Mom, mom, look at me!" she said, twirling around. + +Mom smiled and said, "You look very pretty, Sara. But you know that blouse is not yours, right? It's mine, and I need it for work tomorrow. You have to be careful with it and not spill anything on it." + +Sara nodded and said, "I know, mom. I will be careful. Can I wear it for a little while longer, please?" + +Mom said, "Okay, but only for a little while. And then you have to put it back in the closet. Deal?" + +Sara said, "Deal!" and gave her mom a hug. + +Sara went to the living room to play with her toys. She saw her teddy bear on the couch. She decided to have a tea party with him. She set up a small table and two cups. She poured some water from a pitcher and pretended it was tea. She said, "Here you go, teddy. This is for you. You are my best friend. You are very dependable. You always listen to me and make me happy." + +She lifted her cup and said, "Cheers!" She took a sip and then put the cup down. She reached for a cookie from a plate. But as she did, she knocked over the pitcher. The water spilled all over the table and the couch. And on her mom's blouse. + +Sara gasped and felt her blouse. It was wet and stained. She felt very bad. She knew she had broken her deal with her mom. She knew her mom would be angry and sad. She didn't know what to do. + +She heard her mom coming from the kitchen. She quickly took off the blouse and hid it behind the couch. She put on her own shirt and tried to act normal. She said, "Hi, mom. I'm just playing with teddy." + +Mom said, "Hi, Sara. Are you having fun?" She looked at the living room and saw the mess. She saw the water, the cookies, the cups, and the pitcher. She said, "What happened here?" + +Sara felt scared. She didn't want to lie, but she didn't want to tell the truth either. She said, "I... I was having a tea party with teddy. And... and..." + +Mom said, "And what, Sara?" + +Sara looked at her mom's eyes. She saw that her mom was not angry, but worried. She saw that her mom loved her, no matter what. She felt sorry for what she had done. She said, "And I spilled the water. And I'm sorry. And I... I wore your blouse. And I ruined it. And I'm sorry. And I hid it behind the couch. And I'm sorry." + +She started to cry. She bowed her head and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." + +Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Sara. It's okay. I'm not mad at you. I'm glad you told me the truth. That was very brave of you. And I forgive you. You made a mistake, but you learned from it. And that's what matters. We can try to clean the blouse, or buy a new one. It's not a big deal. The big deal is that you are my daughter, and I love you. And you are very dependable. You always tell me the truth and make me proud." + +Sara smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. And I'm sorry. And thank you." + +Mom said, "You're welcome, Sara. Now, let's clean up this mess together, okay?" + +Sara said, "Okay, mom. And can I still play with teddy?" + +Mom said, "Of course you can. He's your best friend. And he's very dependable too. He always stays with you and makes you happy." + +Sara said, "Yes, he does. Cheers, teddy!" + +The end. +Tom and Ben were friends who liked to play football. They had a big ball that was red and white. They kicked the ball to each other in the park. They had fun. + +One day, a mean boy came to the park. He had a small ball that was black and yellow. He said to Tom and Ben, "Your ball is ugly. My ball is better. Give me your ball or I will burn it." + +Tom and Ben were scared. They did not want to lose their ball. They did not want their ball to burn. They said to the mean boy, "No, you cannot have our ball. Go away." + +The mean boy was angry. He took out a lighter from his pocket. He said, "If you don't give me your ball, I will burn your ball and your clothes and your hair." + +Tom and Ben were very scared. They ran away from the mean boy. They shouted for help. A big man who was walking his dog heard them. He came to the park. He saw the mean boy with the lighter. He said, "Stop! What are you doing? That is very bad. You cannot burn things. You could hurt yourself and others." + +The mean boy dropped the lighter. He was afraid of the big man. He ran away from the park. He left his ball behind. + +The big man gave Tom and Ben their ball back. He said, "Are you okay? That was a very mean boy. He should not play with fire. Fire is dangerous. You should be careful." + +Tom and Ben thanked the big man. They hugged their ball. They said, "We are okay. Thank you for saving our ball. You are very nice. We like our ball. It is not ugly. It is beautiful." + +The big man smiled. He said, "You are welcome. I like your ball too. It is very colorful. Do you want to play with me and my dog?" + +Tom and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, we want to play with you and your dog. What is your dog's name?" + +The big man said, "His name is Spot. He likes to chase balls. He is very friendly." + +Tom and Ben and the big man and Spot played football together. They had fun. They were happy. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toy castle in the garden. They liked to pretend they were a princess and a knight, and they had many adventures. But today, they had a big fight. Sara wanted to put her doll in the castle, but Ben said no. He said the castle was only for knights and dragons, not dolls. + +"That's not fair!" Sara said. "My doll can be a princess, and she can live in the castle too!" + +"No, she can't!" Ben said. "She's too small and silly, and she doesn't have a sword or a shield!" + +They both pulled the castle, trying to take it away from each other. But they pulled too hard, and the castle broke into pieces. They both gasped, and then they started to weep. + +They heard their mom calling them from the house. She had baked some cookies, and she wanted them to come and have a snack. But they didn't want to leave their broken castle. They felt very sad and angry. + +"Look what you did!" Sara said to Ben. "You broke our castle, and now we can't play anymore!" + +"It's your fault!" Ben said to Sara. "You wanted to put your doll in the castle, and she doesn't belong there!" + +They both turned away from each other, and continued to weep. + +Their mom came out to the garden, and saw them crying. She saw the broken castle, and she understood what had happened. She felt sorry for them, and she wanted to help them. + +"Come here, my sweeties," she said. "I know you're upset, but it's not the end of the world. You can fix your castle, or you can make a new one. And you can share it with each other, and with your toys. There's room for everyone in the castle, if you use your imagination and your kindness." + +She hugged them, and wiped their tears. She took them to the house, and gave them some cookies and milk. She told them stories about princesses and knights, and how they worked together and had fun. She made them laugh, and smile. + +Sara and Ben felt better. They realized they had been silly, and they said sorry to each other. They decided to play with their castle again, and to let their doll and their dragon join them. They thanked their mom, and gave her a kiss. + +They went back to the garden, and they fixed their castle. They put their doll and their dragon inside, and they pretended they were a happy family. They had many more adventures, and they never fought again. +Ben liked to play with his dad's tools. He found a big hammer, a long wire and a shiny box. He wanted to make something fun. He did not know what the tools were for. He did not ask his dad. + +He took the hammer and hit the shiny box. He heard a loud noise and saw a spark. He smiled. He liked the spark. He wanted to make more sparks. He took the wire and tried to attach it to the shiny box. He did not know the wire was hot. + +He touched the wire with his hand. He felt a big pain. He screamed. He dropped the wire and the hammer. The wire and the hammer fell on the floor. They made more sparks. The sparks hit the carpet. The carpet caught fire. + +Ben was scared. He ran to the door. He tried to open it. He could not. The door was locked. He did not know why. He was confused. He cried. He smelled smoke. He saw flames. He could not get out. He was trapped. He was alone. He was sorry. +Lila and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck arrive. It had many boxes inside. + +"What is in the boxes?" Lila asked. + +"Let's go and see," Tom said. + +They ran to the truck and peeked inside. They saw many things: books, toys, clothes, and more. They also saw a shiny flute. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. He took the flute and blew into it. It made a loud noise. + +"Tom, stop! That is too noisy!" Lila said. She covered her ears. + +But Tom did not stop. He liked the noise. He blew harder and harder. He did not see the man who came out of the truck. + +"Hey, kid, what are you doing?" the man said. He was angry. He grabbed the flute from Tom. "This is not yours. This is mine. I am a musician. I play the flute for people." + +"I'm sorry, mister," Tom said. He was scared. He did not mean to make the man mad. + +"Sorry is not enough. You have to pay for this. This flute is very expensive. Do you have any money?" the man said. + +Tom and Lila shook their heads. They did not have any money. They only had their toys. + +"Then give me your toys. All of them. That is the only way I will forgive you," the man said. + +Tom and Lila did not want to give their toys. They loved their toys. But they had no choice. They gave the man their toys. The man took them and put them in his truck. He drove away. + +Tom and Lila were sad. They had no toys and no flute. They learned a lesson. They should not touch things that are not theirs. They should not be noisy. They should be careful. +Sam was a big boy who liked to teach his little sister Lily. He taught her how to count, how to draw, and how to play games. Lily loved Sam and wanted to be like him. She called him her hero. + +One day, Sam and Lily found a big red ball in the park. Sam taught Lily how to kick the ball, how to catch the ball, and how to throw the ball. They had a lot of fun with the ball. But then, a mean dog came and took the ball away. The dog ran away with the ball in his mouth. + +Sam and Lily were sad. They wanted their ball back. Sam was also angry. He said, "That dog is bad. He stole our ball. I will teach him a lesson. I will chase him and get our ball back." Lily said, "No, Sam. The dog is big and scary. He might bite you. Let's go home and tell mom." But Sam did not listen. He ran after the dog. + +The dog saw Sam coming and growled. He did not want to give up the ball. He showed his sharp teeth and barked. Sam was not afraid. He thought he was a hero. He tried to grab the ball from the dog. But the dog was faster and stronger. He bit Sam's hand hard. Sam screamed and let go of the ball. He ran back to Lily with blood on his hand. + +Lily was scared and sad. She hugged Sam and cried. She said, "Sam, you are hurt. Why did you do that? You are not a hero. You are silly. You should have listened to me. Now we have no ball and you have a wound. Mom will be angry too." Sam felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "You are right, Lily. I was silly. I should have listened to you. I am not a hero. I am sorry." They went home and told mom what happened. Mom was angry and worried. She took Sam to the doctor and gave him a bandage. She said, "Sam, you were foolish and reckless. You should not chase a mean dog. You could have been hurt worse. You should respect animals and be careful. You should also listen to your sister. She is smart and kind. She tried to help you. You should thank her and say sorry." Sam did what mom said. He thanked Lily and said sorry. He learned his lesson. He was not a hero. He was a brother. +Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars, but their favorite was a blue car that could make noises and lights. The blue car needed a battery to work. + +One day, Ben and Sam wanted to play with the blue car, but they could not find the battery. They looked everywhere, but they could not see it. They asked their mom, but she did not know where it was. + +"Maybe you left it in the park," she said. "You were playing there yesterday." + +Ben and Sam ran to the park. They hoped to find the battery. They searched under the swings, behind the slide, and in the sandbox. But they could not find it. + +They saw a boy with a red car. The red car was making noises and lights. Ben and Sam looked closer. They saw that the boy had their battery. + +"Hey, that's our battery!" Ben shouted. "Give it back!" + +The boy looked at them. He smiled. He said, "No, it's mine. I found it here. It's mine now." + +Ben and Sam were angry. They tried to grab the battery, but the boy was faster. He ran away with the red car and the battery. + +Ben and Sam chased him, but they could not catch him. They were sad. They lost their battery. They could not play with their blue car. + +They went back home. They told their mom what happened. She hugged them. She said, "I'm sorry, boys. That was not nice of him. Maybe we can buy a new battery later." + +Ben and Sam nodded. They wished they had not left their battery in the park. They regretted being careless. They learned to take care of their things. They hoped to find their battery again. They missed their blue car. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big hill with many trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was there. + +They walked up the hill and found a big cave. They were curious and went inside. It was dark and cold. They heard a loud snore. They saw a giant sleeping on a pile of rocks. He was very big and hairy. He had a long nose and big teeth. + +"Wow, look at him!" Lily whispered to Tom. "He is so big!" + +"Shh, don't wake him up!" Tom whispered back. "He might be angry!" + +They tiptoed around the cave. They saw many things that the giant had. He had a big bag of coins, a big bowl of fruit, a big book of stories and a big teddy bear. They wanted to touch them, but they were afraid. + +The giant moved in his sleep. He groaned and stretched. He opened his eyes and saw Lily and Tom. He was surprised and angry. He roared and got up. + +"Who are you? What are you doing in my cave?" he shouted. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They ran to the exit. The giant followed them. He was too big to fit in the cave. He was uncomfortable and hurt his head. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "This cave is too small for me!" + +Lily and Tom reached the park. They saw their mom waiting for them. They ran to her and hugged her. + +"Mom, mom, we saw a giant in the cave!" they said. + +"A giant? What are you talking about?" their mom asked. + +"It's true, mom, he was very big and angry!" they said. + +Their mom smiled and shook her head. She did not believe them. She thought they were making up stories. + +"Come on, let's go home. It's time for lunch. I made your favorite soup. It includes carrots, potatoes and chicken." she said. + +Lily and Tom followed their mom. They were happy to leave the cave and the giant. They were hungry and wanted to eat the soup. They decided to never go back to the cave again. They learned that some places are not safe to explore. +Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. They went to the kitchen and looked at the fridge. The fridge was big and white and cold. + +"Can we open the fridge, Mommy?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful. Don't take anything that is not good for you," Mommy said. + +Anna and Ben turned the handle and opened the fridge. They saw many things inside. They saw milk and cheese and eggs and juice. They saw fruits and vegetables and bread and butter. They saw a cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. + +"Wow, look at the cake!" Ben said. "It looks lovely. Can we have some, Mommy?" + +Mommy smiled and said, "That cake is for later. It is a special cake for Daddy's birthday. We will sing and blow candles and eat cake after dinner. But you can have something else now. How about some cheese and crackers and grapes?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They liked cheese and crackers and grapes. They took some from the fridge and put them on a plate. They closed the fridge and went to the table. They said thank you to Mommy and ate their snack. They were happy and full. They waited for Daddy to come home and have his birthday cake. +Ben and Lily wanted to help Dad make dinner. Dad was using the grill to cook meat and corn. Ben and Lily liked corn a lot. + +"Can we help you, Dad?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can help me complete the salad. Here are some tomatoes and lettuce. You can wash them and cut them with this knife. Be careful, it is sharp!" Dad said. + +Ben and Lily went to the sink and washed the tomatoes and lettuce. They dried them with a towel. Then they took the knife and tried to cut them. But the knife was too big and heavy for them. They could not cut the tomatoes and lettuce well. They made a big mess on the cutting board and the floor. + +Dad heard the noise and turned around. He saw the mess and got angry. He shouted at Ben and Lily. + +"What are you doing? You are making a big mess! You are not helping, you are ruining the salad! Give me that knife, it is dangerous for you! Go away from the grill, it is hot!" + +Ben and Lily felt scared and sad. They dropped the knife and ran away from the grill. They went to their room and cried. They did not want to make Dad angry. They wanted to help him make dinner. They did not understand why he was so mad at them. +Lila and Ben are going to the store with Mom. They put on their coats and zip them up. Mom says, "Hold my hand, please. The street is busy and we have to be careful." + +They walk to the store and see many cars and people. Lila likes to look at the colors and shapes. Ben likes to hear the noises. He says, "Vroom, vroom, honk, honk!" Mom says, "Shh, Ben, not so loud. You might scare someone." + +They get to the store and Mom gives them a basket. She says, "We need some bread, milk, eggs, and cheese. Can you help me find them?" Lila and Ben nod and follow Mom. They see many things in the store. Some are yummy, like cookies and fruit. Some are funny, like hats and toys. Some are scary, like big dogs and loud machines. + +Lila and Ben help Mom put the things in the basket. They also ask Mom if they can have some treats. Mom says, "Maybe one each, if you are good." Lila and Ben smile and look for something they like. Lila picks a pink lollipop. Ben picks a blue balloon. + +They go to the counter and Mom pays for the things. She says, "Thank you" to the lady who works there. The lady gives Lila and Ben stickers. They say, "Thank you" too. They are happy. They zip up their coats again and hold Mom's hand. They walk back home and tell Dad about their trip to the store. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big snake on the grass. The snake is green and shiny. It has black spots on its skin. + +"Wow, look at the snake!" Anna says. "It is so long and pretty!" + +"Can we touch it?" Ben asks. He wants to feel the snake's skin. + +"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe it is not nice. Maybe it will bite us." + +They go closer to the snake. The snake does not move. It looks at them with small eyes. + +"Hello, snake," Ben says. He reaches out his hand to touch the snake's head. + +"Ben, be careful!" Anna says. She is scared. + +But the snake does not bite Ben. It lets him touch its skin. The skin is smooth and cool. Ben smiles. + +"It feels incredible!" Ben says. "The snake is nice. It likes me." + +Anna is curious. She also touches the snake's skin. She feels the same thing as Ben. She smiles too. + +"The snake is nice. It likes us," Anna says. + +They pet the snake for a while. The snake seems happy. It makes a soft sound. + +"Thank you, snake," Ben and Anna say. "You are a good friend." + +They wave goodbye to the snake. They go back to their parents. They tell them about the snake. They say it was incredible. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the mall with their moms. The mall has many shops and people. + +Tom sees a big truck in a toy shop. He wants to play with it. He asks his mom, "Can I have the truck, please?" + +His mom says, "No, Tom. You have many toys at home. You don't need another truck." + +Tom is sad. He looks at the truck. He wishes he had it. + +Lily sees Tom. She has a doll in her hand. She likes her doll, but she wants to make Tom happy. She says, "Tom, do you want to play with my doll? I can lend it to you." + +Tom looks at Lily. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. I can lend you my car. Do you want to play with it?" + +Lily nods. She says, "Yes, Tom. I like your car. It is fast and shiny. We can play together." + +Tom and Lily exchange their toys. They play with them in the mall. They have fun. They are good friends. + +Their moms see them. They are proud of them. They say, "Tom and Lily, you are very kind and generous. You know how to share and lend. That is a serious skill. We are happy for you." +Ben and Lily were in the car with Dad. They were going to the park to play. Ben and Lily liked the park. They liked the swings and the slide and the sandbox. + +But Dad was not happy. He was bald and he did not like the sun. He said the sun was too hot and made his head hurt. He wanted to go home and watch TV. He did not like the park. + +"Please, Dad, can we go to the park?" Ben asked. "We want to play. We have our hats and sunscreen. We will not be long." + +"No, Ben, we are not going to the park. We are going home. Stop asking me. And buckle your seatbelt. It is not safe to ride without a buckle." Dad said. He was angry and loud. + +Ben and Lily were sad. They did not want to go home. They wanted to go to the park. They did not like Dad. They did not like his bald head. They did not like his angry voice. They did not like his TV. + +They decided to make a plan. They waited until Dad stopped at a red light. Then they unbuckled their seatbelts and opened the car doors. They jumped out of the car and ran to the park. They left Dad behind. + +But they did not know that the park was far away. They did not know that the street was busy. They did not know that the cars were fast. They did not know that the drivers did not see them. They did not know that they were in danger. + +They ran across the street and tried to reach the park. But they did not make it. A big truck hit them and they fell to the ground. They were hurt and bleeding. They were crying and scared. They wished they had listened to Dad. They wished they had buckled their seatbelts. They wished they had stayed in the car. + +But it was too late. The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they have a new toy. It is a large ball. It is red and blue and yellow. It can bounce and roll and make noise. + +Lily and Ben want to play with the ball. But they have to choose who plays first. Lily says, "I want to play first. I am older." Ben says, "No, I want to play first. I am faster." They argue and push and pull. They are not happy. + +Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. She says, "Lily and Ben, you have to share the ball. You can take turns. Or you can play together. How about you rub the ball and see what happens?" + +Lily and Ben stop arguing. They are curious. They rub the ball with their hands. The ball makes a funny sound. It sounds like a cat. Lily and Ben laugh. They rub the ball again. The ball makes another sound. It sounds like a dog. Lily and Ben laugh more. They rub the ball more and more. The ball makes many sounds. It sounds like a bird, a cow, a frog, and a train. + +Lily and Ben have fun with the ball. They forget to fight. They play together. They bounce and roll and make noise with the ball. They are happy. Mom smiles. She is happy too. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend.

They pretend to fight a big monster. They use pillows and toys as weapons. They make loud sounds and jump on the couch. They are having a lot of fun. + +But they forget to watch the time. They play for more than five minutes. They do not hear Mom and Dad calling them. They do not see Mom and Dad coming to the living room. They do not notice Mom and Dad picking up their capes and masks. + +Suddenly, Sara and Ben feel something on their heads. They look up and see Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad are wearing their capes and masks. They are smiling and laughing. They say they are the new superheroes. They say they have taken over the world. + +Sara and Ben are surprised and confused. They do not know what to do. They do not like that Mom and Dad have their capes and masks. They want them back. They say they are not finished with their play. + +Mom and Dad say they are sorry. They say they were just joking. They say they wanted to teach them a lesson. They say they need to listen and obey. They say they need to finish their play when they say so. + +Sara and Ben say they are sorry too. They say they were having too much fun. They say they forgot to watch the time. They say they will listen and obey next time. They say they love Mom and Dad. + +Mom and Dad say they love Sara and Ben too. They give them back their capes and masks. They hug and kiss them. They say they are proud of them. They say they are the best superheroes. They say they can finish their play for a little while longer. They say they will help them clean the house and make dinner later. + +Sara and Ben are happy and relieved. They thank Mom and Dad. They put on their capes and masks. They resume their play. They say they are the real superheroes. They say they are saving the world. They say they are obedient. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they also liked to explore. They saw a big gate that was locked. They wondered what was behind it. + +"Let's unlock it!" Tom said. He found a stick and tried to push it into the hole of the lock. But it did not work. The lock was too strong. + +"Maybe we can climb over it!" Lily said. She grabbed the bars of the gate and tried to pull herself up. But it was too high. She could not reach the top. + +They heard a loud noise from behind the gate. It sounded like a roar. They felt scared. They ran back to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there is something scary behind the gate!" Lily said. + +"What is it, sweetie?" Mom asked. + +"We don't know, mom. It made a big noise. Like this: RRRRR!" Tom said. + +Mom smiled. She knew what it was. She took them by the hand and walked to the gate. She showed them a sign that said: "Zoo. Do not enter." + +"Look, kids. This is the zoo. There are many animals here. Some of them make loud noises. That is how they talk to each other. They are not scary. They are just different." Mom said. + +"Can we see them, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, we can. But we have to go to the entrance. We can't unlock this gate. It is for the workers only. They have a key. They take care of the animals. They feed them and check their lungs. Lungs are what help us breathe. Animals have lungs too." Mom said. + +"Wow, mom. You know a lot. Can we learn more about the animals?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, my loves. Let's go and have some fun at the zoo." Mom said. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the treehouse. They had a ladder to climb up and down. One day, Tom saw a new ladder at the store. It was shiny and red. He wanted to have it for the treehouse. + +"Can we buy the new ladder, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"No, Tom. The old ladder is fine. You don't need to replace it," Mom said. + +But Tom did not listen. He took some money from his piggy bank and went to the store. He bought the new ladder and brought it home. He threw the old ladder away and put the new ladder on the treehouse. + +"Look, Sam. I got a new ladder. It's better than the old one," Tom said. + +Sam looked at the new ladder. It was shiny and red, but it was also short and weak. It did not reach the ground. It was not safe. + +"Tom, this ladder is not fine. It's too short and weak. We can't climb up and down. We need the old ladder back," Sam said. + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to try the new ladder. He climbed up to the treehouse. But when he tried to climb down, the new ladder broke. Tom fell to the ground and hurt his leg. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. + +Mom heard Tom crying and ran to him. She saw the broken ladder and the old ladder in the trash. She was angry and sad. + +"Tom, what did you do? You replaced the fine ladder with a bad ladder. You wasted your money and hurt yourself. You should have listened to me and Sam," Mom said. + +She took Tom to the doctor. The doctor gave him a bandage and a lollipop. He said Tom would be fine, but he had to rest and be careful. + +Tom felt sorry for what he did. He apologized to Mom and Sam. He learned his lesson. He realized that the old ladder was fine. He did not need to replace it. He learned to be happy with what he had and to listen to others. +Lily and Tom are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. Lily puts a block on top of another block. Tom puts a block next to Lily's block. They are happy. + +But then, Tom sees a red block. He likes red blocks. He wants to put the red block on top of the tower. He reaches for the red block. But Lily sees him. She wants the red block too. She grabs the red block. She says, "No, Tom, this is my block!" + +Tom becomes angry. He pulls the red block from Lily's hand. He says, "No, Lily, this is my block!" Lily becomes angry too. She pushes Tom. Tom pushes Lily back. The tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lily and Tom on the floor. They are crying. They have red lips. Mom is not happy. She says, "Lily and Tom, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? You need to share the blocks. You need to be nice to each other." + +Lily and Tom are sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Tom." They hug each other. They hug Mom. They pick up the blocks. They start to make a new tower. They are happy again. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with toys. Tom has a rocket. Sam has a car. They play in the living room. + +"Can I play with your rocket?" Sam asks Tom. + +"No, it is mine. You have your car," Tom says. + +"But your rocket is more fun. My car is boring," Sam says. + +"No, it is not. Your car can go fast and make noises. My rocket can only fly in the air," Tom says. + +Sam is sad. He wants to play with the rocket. He has an idea. He goes to his mom. + +"Mom, can I play with Tom's rocket?" Sam requests. + +"Did you ask Tom?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, but he said no. He is not nice," Sam says. + +Mom smiles. She knows how to help. She goes to the living room. + +"Tom, Sam wants to play with your rocket. Can you share it with him?" Mom asks. + +"But Mom, it is mine. I don't want to share it," Tom says. + +"Sharing is caring, Tom. How would you feel if Sam did not let you play with his car?" Mom asks. + +Tom thinks. He likes Sam's car. He does not want to make Sam sad. + +"Okay, Mom. I will share my rocket with Sam. But only for a little while," Tom says. + +Sam is happy. He thanks Tom and Mom. He takes the rocket and flies it in the air. Tom takes the car and drives it on the floor. They play together and have fun. They are good brothers. +Sara was a nosy girl. She liked to look at other people's things and ask many questions. She did not know how to be quiet and polite. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a man with a big book and a small bird. The man was trying to teach the bird to talk. He said words like "hello" and "pretty" and waited for the bird to repeat them. + +Sara was curious. She ran to the man and said, "What are you doing? What is that book? What is that bird? Can I touch it?" + +The man was not happy. He said, "Please, go away. You are disturbing me and my bird. This is a special book and a special bird. They need peace and patience to learn. You are being rude and noisy." + +Sara was angry. She said, "You are mean and boring. I just want to see and learn. You don't have to be so grumpy." + +She tried to grab the book and the bird, but the man stopped her. He said, "No, you can't. These are mine, not yours. You need to learn to respect other people's things and privacy. You also need to learn to listen and wait your turn. That is how you can be a good and smart girl." + +Sara's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Sara and the man arguing. She said, "Sara, what are you doing? Why are you disturbing this man and his bird? You should apologize and leave them alone." + +Sara felt ashamed. She realized she was wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, sir. I was nosy and rude. I won't bother you and your bird anymore. I hope you can teach your bird to talk." + +The man smiled. He said, "Thank you, Sara. I accept your apology. You are a brave and honest girl. Maybe someday you can come back and hear my bird talk. But only if you are quiet and polite." + +Sara nodded. She said, "Okay, sir. I will try to be quiet and polite. I will also try to respect other people's things and privacy. I want to be a good and smart girl." + +Sara's mom hugged her. She said, "I'm proud of you, Sara. You learned a valuable lesson today. You also made a new friend. Come on, let's go home and read a book together." + +Sara smiled. She said, "Yes, mom. I love books. Maybe I can find a book about birds and learn more about them." + +They walked away, waving goodbye to the man and his bird. The bird said, "Bye bye, Sara. Bye bye, mom. See you soon." + +The end. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They had a spray bottle and a bowl of oats. They wanted to make a picture with the oats on the grass. + +Lily was very organized. She had a plan for the picture. She said, "First, we spray the grass with water. Then, we put the oats on the water. They will stick and make a shape. I want to make a flower. What do you want to make, Max?" + +Max was not very organized. He did not have a plan. He said, "I don't know. I just want to have fun. Can I spray you with water?" + +Lily did not like that. She said, "No, Max. That is not nice. You will make me wet and cold. And you will waste the water. We need it for the picture. Please don't spray me." + +Max did not listen. He thought it was funny. He sprayed Lily with water. Lily got wet and cold. She was angry. She said, "Max, stop it! You are ruining the picture. And you are hurting my feelings. You are not a good friend." + +Max felt sorry. He saw that Lily was sad. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just playing. I didn't mean to make you mad. You are a good friend. Can we still make the picture?" + +Lily forgave Max. She said, "It's okay, Max. I'm not mad anymore. But please don't spray me again. Let's make the picture together. We can share the oats and the spray bottle. What shape do you want to make?" + +Max thought for a moment. He said, "I want to make a heart. Because I love you, Lily." + +Lily smiled. She said, "I love you too, Max. A heart is a good idea. Let's make a big heart with the oats. And then we can show it to Mom and Dad. They will be proud of us." + +Lily and Max sprayed the grass with water. Then they put the oats on the water. They made a big heart with the oats. They were happy. They hugged each other. They showed their picture to Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad were proud of them. They said, "You are very creative and kind, Lily and Max. You made a beautiful picture. And you are good friends." +Anna and Ben were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Let's measure how tall our tower is," Ben said. He took a long stick and put it next to the tower. "Look, it is as tall as the stick!" + +Anna nodded. She was very happy. She wanted to make the tower even taller. She reached for more blocks. But she forgot to be careful. She bumped into the tower and made it fall down. + +"Oh no!" Anna cried. "We worked so hard and now it is gone!" + +Ben was sad too. He looked at the mess of blocks. He did not want to start over. He felt like giving up. + +But then he had an idea. He was a clever boy. He saw a big box in the corner. He ran to the box and dragged it to the blocks. + +"Anna, look!" he said. "We can use this box as a base for our tower. It will make it stronger and easier to build. Come on, let's try!" + +Anna smiled. She liked Ben's idea. She helped him put the box on the floor. Then they started to stack the blocks on top of the box. They were careful not to forget to balance them. + +Soon they had a new tower. It was bigger and better than before. They measured it with the stick again. It was taller than the stick! + +"Wow!" Anna said. "We did it! We made the tallest tower ever!" + +Ben hugged her. He was very proud. He said, "We are a great team. We are clever and we don't give up. We can do anything!" + +They laughed and clapped. They had fun playing with their tower. They did not forget to clean up when they were done. +Sam and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But then Sam saw a big dog. The dog was ugly. It had brown fur and yellow teeth. It barked loud and ran fast. + +Sam was scared. He ran away from the dog. But he tripped and fell. He hurt his knee. It was red and bleeding. He cried. + +Ben saw Sam fall. He ran to him. He said, "Don't cry, Sam. I am here. You are okay." + +He helped Sam stand up. He took him to the bench. He got a tissue from his pocket. He wiped Sam's knee. He said, "Look, it is not so bad. It will get better soon." + +Sam felt better. He said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You comfort me." + +Ben smiled. He said, "You are welcome, Sam. You are a good friend too. You make me happy." + +They hugged. They forgot about the ugly dog. They went back to play. They had fun. They were happy. +Lily was a girl who liked to sew. She had a needle and some thread and many pieces of cloth. She made dolls and hats and scarves for her friends and family. She was very good at sewing. + +One day, she wanted to make a new doll for her baby brother. She found a soft blue cloth and cut out a shape. She started to sew the eyes and the nose and the mouth. She was very careful with the needle. + +But then, she heard a loud noise outside. She looked out the window and saw a big truck. It was shiny and red and had a ladder. She wanted to see it better. She forgot about the needle and ran to the door. + +She did not see the needle on the floor. She stepped on it and it hurt her foot. She cried out loud and dropped the cloth. The needle was stuck in her foot and it made blood. She was very scared. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to help her. She took out the needle and cleaned her foot. She put a bandage on it and gave her a hug. She said, "Lily, you have to be more careful when you sew. You have to watch where you put the needle and where you walk. You could have hurt yourself more. Sewing is fun, but you have to be safe." + +Lily said she was sorry and thanked her mom. She learned her lesson. She finished her doll and gave it to her brother. He liked it very much and smiled. Lily was happy and safe. She still liked to sew, but she always watched the needle. +Lily and Mom went to the grocery store. Lily liked to help Mom put things in the cart. She saw some apples and bananas and said, "Can we get these, Mom?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can. They are good for you. Do you want to choose some?" + +Lily nodded and picked two apples and two bananas. She put them in a bag and then in the cart. She felt happy and proud. + +They walked to the bakery section. Lily smelled something sweet and yummy. She saw some cookies and cupcakes. She pointed and said, "Can we get these, Mom?" + +Mom looked and said, "No, we can't. They are not good for you. They have too much sugar. We have some dry crackers at home. You can have one with cheese later." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want dry crackers. She wanted cookies and cupcakes. She pouted and said, "No, I want these!" + +Mom said, "Lily, don't be rude. You have to listen to me. We are not getting these. Come on, let's go pay." + +Lily did not want to go. She threw a tantrum. She kicked and screamed and cried. She made a lot of noise. People looked at them. Mom felt embarrassed and frustrated. + +She picked up Lily and said, "Lily, stop it. You are being very naughty. You are making Mom very sad. If you don't calm down, you will have a time out when we get home." + +Lily did not care. She kept crying and yelling. She did not see Mom's face. She did not see that Mom was not smiling. She did not see that Mom was hurt. She only saw the cookies and cupcakes. She only wanted what she wanted. She did not think about Mom. She did not think about being good. She did not think about smiling. +Lily liked to draw with pastels. She had many colors: pink, blue, yellow, green, purple. She made flowers, stars, rainbows, and animals on her paper. She was happy when she drew. + +One day, she saw a new pastel in her box. It was black. She had never seen a black pastel before. She wondered what it could do. She picked it up and tried to draw with it. But nothing happened. The black pastel did not make any mark on her paper. + +She was confused. She asked her mom, "Mom, why does this pastel not work?" + +Her mom looked at the pastel and smiled. She said, "This is not a pastel, Lily. This is a magic wand. It can do many things, but not on paper. You have to use it in a different way." + +Lily was curious. She said, "How do I use it, mom?" + +Her mom said, "You have to say a magic word and point it at something. Then, something mysterious will happen. But you have to be careful. Magic can be tricky. Do you want to try it?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I want to try it. What is the magic word?" + +Her mom said, "The magic word is 'abracadabra'. Can you say it?" + +Lily said, "Abracadabra!" + +She pointed the wand at her teddy bear. Suddenly, the teddy bear came to life. It blinked, moved, and said, "Hello, Lily. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily was amazed. She said, "Wow, this is so cool! Yes, I want to play with you, teddy bear!" + +She hugged the teddy bear and ran to her room. She was happy.

They have fun with the ball and the bike. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has no ball and no bike. He sits on a bench and looks sad. Sara and Ben want to help him. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Sara asks the new boy. + +"Tom," he says in a low voice. + +"Do you want to play with us?" Ben asks. + +Tom shakes his head. "No, thank you. I have no ball and no bike. I have nothing to play with. I am poor." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry for Tom. They want to make him happy. + +"You don't need a ball and a bike to play with us," Sara says. "You can use your body and your mind. You can run and jump and dance and sing. You can make up stories and games. You can do anything you want. That is motion. Motion is fun." + +"Yes, motion is fun," Ben agrees. "And you can also share our ball and our bike. We can take turns. We can include you in our play. We can be friends. Friends share and include." + +Tom looks at Sara and Ben. He sees their smiles and their kindness. He feels a warm feeling in his heart. He decides to give them a chance. + +"Okay, I will play with you," he says. "Thank you for sharing and including me. Maybe motion is fun. Maybe friends are fun." + +Sara and Ben clap their hands. They take Tom by the hand and lead him to the grass. They start to play with the ball and the bike. They run and jump and dance and sing. They make up stories and games. They do anything they want. They have motion. They have fun. + +They are friends. +Lily liked pink things. She had a pink dress, a pink hat, a pink ball, and a pink bike. She wanted to go to the park and play with her pink ball. She asked her mom if she could go. + +"Mom, can I go to the park and play with my pink ball?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, you can, but you have to be careful. The park is a big place and there are many people and cars. Don't go too far and don't talk to strangers. Come back before it gets dark." Mom said. + +Lily nodded and put on her pink hat. She took her pink ball and her pink bike and went to the park. She was very happy. She saw a lot of flowers and trees and birds. She rode her bike on the path and bounced her ball on the grass. She saw some other kids playing and wanted to join them. + +"Hi, can I play with you?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, what do you have?" One of the kids said. + +"I have a pink ball. It is very nice and soft. Do you want to see?" Lily said. + +"OK, let me see." The kid said. + +Lily gave her pink ball to the kid. The kid looked at it and smiled. Then he ran away with it. He did not give it back to Lily. He was very mean. + +"Hey, that's my ball! Give it back!" Lily shouted. + +But the kid did not listen. He ran to a car and got in. The car drove away very fast. Lily could not catch up. She lost her pink ball. She was very sad. She cried and cried. She wished she had not given her ball to the kid. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had stayed close to her bike. She did not know how to go back home. She was lost in the big place. She was scared. She had a bad day. +Lily and Tom like to play at the park. They like to swing, run and slide. One day, they see a big bull near the fence. The bull is brown and has horns. It looks at them and makes a loud noise. + +Lily and Tom are scared of the bull. They run away from the fence. They want to go to the slide, but the slide is dry and hot. The sun is shining and there is no water. They do not want to slide on the dry slide. It will hurt their skin. + +They look for a place to hide from the bull and the sun. They see a big tree with green leaves. They run to the tree and sit under it. The tree is cool and shady. They feel safe and happy. They play with some sticks and stones. They forget about the bull and the dry slide. They have fun under the tree. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals. Lily was a lion and Max was a monkey. They roared and chattered and had fun. + +But then, Mom came in and said, "It's time for your nap, kids. You need to rest and be quiet for a while." She pointed to the clock and made a sign with her hand. It meant that they had to go to their beds. + +Lily and Max did not want to nap. They wanted to play more. They shook their heads and said, "No, no, no!" They ran away from Mom and hid behind the couch. They thought they were clever and Mom would not find them. + +But Mom was not fooled. She knew where they were. She walked around the couch and said, "I see you, Lily and Max. You can't hide from me. Come on, let's go to your beds. I have a surprise for you." + +Lily and Max peeked out from behind the couch. They were curious. They asked, "What surprise, Mom?" + +Mom smiled and said, "If you nap now, you will get a yummy treat when you wake up. I made some cookies for you. They are warm and sweet and crunchy. Don't you want some?" + +Lily and Max loved cookies. They licked their lips and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" They followed Mom to their beds. They gave her a hug and a kiss and said, "Thank you, Mom.

They napped and dreamed of yummy cookies. +Lily and her aunt went to the park. Lily wanted to play on the swings, but her aunt said she had to tie her shoes first. Lily did not know how to tie her shoes. She tried to make a knot, but it was loose and messy. + +"Can you help me, aunt?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. Let me show you how to tie your shoes," her aunt said. She bent down and took Lily's shoe in her hand. She made two loops with the laces and crossed them over. Then she pulled one loop through the hole and tightened the knot. "See? You make a bunny ear and a bunny ear, and then the bunny ears hug each other," her aunt explained. + +Lily watched her aunt and tried to copy her. She made two loops and crossed them over. But when she pulled one loop through the hole, the other loop slipped away. Lily frowned and tried again. And again. And again. She felt frustrated and sad. + +"Don't give up, Lily. You can do it. You just need some practice," her aunt encouraged her. She smiled and hugged Lily. "You are a smart and brave girl. And you have thin fingers that are good for tying shoes." + +Lily felt better and smiled back. She liked her aunt. She was kind and funny. She wanted to make her proud. She tried one more time to tie her shoes. She made two loops and crossed them over. She pulled one loop through the hole and tightened the knot. She did it! She tied her shoes! + +"Yay! I did it, aunt! I did it!" Lily cheered. + +"Yay! You did it, Lily! You did it!" her aunt cheered back. She clapped and kissed Lily's cheek. "I'm so proud of you, sweetie. You learned how to tie your shoes. Now you can play on the swings." + +Lily and her aunt ran to the swings. Lily pushed her aunt and her aunt pushed her back. They laughed and swung high in the air. They had a lot of fun. Lily was happy. She learned how to tie her shoes and she had the best aunt in the world. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big green cactus with many sharp points. Sara wanted to touch it, but Ben said no. + +"Don't touch the cactus, Sara. It will hurt you. It has needles that can poke you and make you cry." Ben said. + +"But I want to see how it feels. Maybe it is soft and nice." Sara said. She did not listen to Ben and moved closer to the cactus. + +"Stop, Sara, stop! Quit being silly. The cactus is not kind. It is mean and ouchy. Come and play with me. I have a ball and a kite. We can have fun together." Ben said. + +Sara did not stop. She reached out her hand and touched the cactus. She felt a sharp pain and pulled back her hand. She saw blood and tears on her fingers. She started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The cactus hurt me! It is not soft and nice. It is hard and bad. Why did I touch it?" Sara said. + +Ben ran to Sara and hugged her. He took her to his mom and asked for a band-aid. He was sorry for Sara and wanted to help her. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I tried to warn you. The cactus is not a good thing to touch. It is not a friend. It is a foe. Next time, listen to me. I am your friend. I am kind." Ben said. + +Sara nodded and smiled. She thanked Ben and his mom. She learned her lesson. She did not touch the cactus again. She played with Ben and his ball and his kite. They had fun together. They were kind friends. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog.

It helps me move things and plow the fields," Grandpa said, smiling. + +"Can we ride it, Grandpa?" Lily asked, jumping up and down. + +"Sorry, Lily, but no. The tractor is not a toy. It is very powerful and dangerous. You have to stay away from it, okay?" Grandpa said, looking serious. + +Tom and Lily nodded, but they were curious and bored. They waited until Grandpa went to feed the chickens, and then they sneaked to the tractor. They saw that the door was open, and they climbed inside. They saw many buttons, levers and pedals.

Lily said, pushing him back. + +They started to fight and pull each other's hair. They did not notice that one of them kicked a pedal that made the tractor move. The tractor rolled forward, knocking down a fence and heading towards the road. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Lily screamed, holding on to each other. + +Grandpa heard the noise and ran to the tractor. He saw that his grandchildren were inside, and he was very scared and angry. He ran after the tractor, waving his arms and shouting. + +"Tom, Lily, stop the tractor, now!" Grandpa yelled. + +But Tom and Lily did not know how to stop the tractor. They were too frightened and confused. They saw a big truck coming from the road, and they closed their eyes. + +The truck driver saw the tractor and honked his horn. He swerved to avoid a crash, but he hit a tree and his truck flipped over. The tractor stopped by itself, and Grandpa reached it. He opened the door and pulled Tom and Lily out.

Grandpa asked, his face red. + +"We are sorry, Grandpa, we are very sorry," Tom and Lily said, looking down. + +Grandpa sighed. He knew that Tom and Lily were sorry, but he also knew that they had been very naughty and reckless. He knew that they had to learn a lesson and face the consequences.

She did not know it was important. She was sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to examine it. I did not mean to make you sad." + +Mom hugged Lily. She said, "I know, sweetie. I know you are curious. But you have to ask me before you take things that are not yours. Some things are not for examining. Some things are for keeping safe. Do you understand?" Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I love you. I love your ring. Can I see it again?" Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can see it again. But only with me. And only for a little while. Then I have to put it back. It is my work ring. It helps me do my work." Lily said, "OK, mom. Can you tell me what the letters and numbers mean?" Mom said, "Sure, I can tell you. They are part of a code. A code is a way of sending messages. I use the code to talk to other people who do my work. It is very interesting. Do you want to learn more?" Lily said, "Yes, mom. I want to learn more. I want to examine the code. Maybe I can do your work too." Mom laughed. She said, "Maybe you can, someday. But for now, you have to do your own work. Your work is to play and learn and have fun. And to be careful with other people's things. Can you do that?" Lily said, "Yes, mom. I can do that. Thank you for showing me your ring. And for telling me about your work. And for not being sad." Mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you. You are my smart and curious and sweet girl. Now, let's put the ring back. And then, let's find something else to examine. Something that is yours. How about that?" Lily said, "Yes, mom. That sounds good. Let's do that." And they did. +Ben and Mia were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +But they were also very hungry. They wanted to go inside and have some cocoa. They ran to the door and knocked. Mom opened the door and smiled. She saw their red cheeks and cold hands. + +"Come in, come in," she said. "You must be freezing. I have some cocoa for you." + +She helped them take off their boots and coats. She gave them each a mug of hot cocoa. It smelled good and tasted sweet. They sipped it slowly and felt warm. + +Mom asked them about their snowman. They told her how they made him and what they named him. Mom said he was very handsome and clever. + +"Can we go out and play with him again?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but first you have to tie your scarf," Mom said.

They also saw the man with the hat. He was not a king or a dragon. He was a gardener. He was watering the plants and singing a song. + +"Wow, it's so pretty," Tim said. + +"Can we go in?" Sam asked. + +They pushed the gate, but it was locked again. They could not go in. They were sad and bored again. + +Then, they heard a voice. + +"Hey, you two. What are you doing there?" + +They turned around and saw a lady with a dress and a smile. She was the owner of the garden. She had a key in her hand. + +"We are sorry, lady. We were just looking," Tim said. + +"We were nosy," Sam said. + +The lady laughed and said, "It's okay. I like nosy kids. Do you want to see my garden?" + +Tim and Sam nodded and said, "Yes, please!" + +The lady unlocked the gate and invited them in. She showed them the flowers and the trees.

I have to go home now," she said. + +The lady frowned and grabbed Lily's arm. "Don't be silly. You can have the doll if you come with me. I have more toys in my car. Come on, let's go," she said. She pulled Lily towards the gate. + +Lily was scared and cried. She wanted her mommy and daddy. She tried to get away from the lady, but the lady was strong. "Help! Help!" Lily shouted. + +A man who was walking his dog heard Lily's cry. He ran to the park and saw the lady and Lily. He knew something was wrong. He yelled at the lady and let his dog bark.

They ask mom, "Can we look at the dough, please?" Mom says, "Okay, but be careful. The oven is hot. Don't touch it." + +Sara and Tom go to the oven. They see the dough. It is brown and crispy. It looks yummy. They want to eat it. They say, "Can we eat the dough, please?" Mom says, "Not yet. The dough is hot. You have to wait for it to cool down." + +Sara and Tom are impatient. They don't want to wait. They see a friendly dog outside the window. The dog is wagging its tail. It looks hungry. Sara and Tom have an idea. They say, "Let's give some dough to the dog. He will like it." They open the oven. They grab the tray. They run to the window. + +But the tray is too hot. Sara and Tom drop it. The dough falls on the floor. The dog barks. Mom hears the noise. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "What have you done? You wasted the dough. You burned your hands. You scared the dog. You are very naughty. Go to your room. No dough for you." Sara and Tom cry. They go to their room. They are sad. They have no dough. They have no fun. The end. +Lily liked to climb. She climbed on chairs, on tables, on beds, on sofas. She climbed everywhere she could. She wanted to see everything and touch everything. + +One day, she saw a big clock on the wall. It had a round face, two long hands, and many numbers. It made a tick-tock sound. Lily wondered what was inside the clock. She wanted to climb and find out. + +She moved a chair near the wall. She climbed on the chair. She reached for the clock. She pulled it down. But the clock was heavy and loud. It fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. Lily was scared. She heard her mom coming. + +"Lily, what did you do?" her mom asked. She saw the broken clock and the chair. She was angry and sad. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to see the clock. I wanted to climb," Lily said. She felt bad. She knew she did something wrong. + +Her mom sighed. She hugged Lily. She said, "I know you are curious and smart, Lily. But you have to be careful and listen. Climbing can be dangerous and fun. Some things are not for climbing. Some things are fragile and precious. Like the clock. It was a gift from your grandma. She loved it very much. Now it is gone." + +Lily looked at the clock. She saw the face, the hands, the numbers. She saw the wires, the gears, the springs. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I love grandma too. Can we fix the clock?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Maybe we can, Lily. Maybe we can. But first, we have to clean up this mess. And then, we have to find a better place for the clock. A place where you can see it, but not touch it. A place where it can tick-tock safely. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will help you. And I will be more careful. And I will not climb on the clock again." + +Her mom kissed her. She said, "That's good, Lily. That's very good. I love you, my smart and curious girl." +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard with their equipment. They had a ball, a bike, a bucket and a shovel. They liked to dig holes and fill them with sand and water. They made a big, messy pile of mud. + +"Look, Lily, I made a cake!" Max said, holding up his bucket. + +"Wow, Max, that's a nice cake!" Lily said. "Can I have some?" + +"Sure, Lily, here you go!" Max said, tipping the bucket over Lily's head. + +Lily screamed and laughed. She was covered in mud. She grabbed the ball and threw it at Max. Max dodged the ball and ran away. Lily chased him with the shovel. + +They ran around the backyard, throwing mud and sand at each other. They had so much fun. They did not see their mom coming out of the house. + +"Kids, what are you doing?" Mom said. She looked at them and the backyard. She was not happy. "You made a big mess with your equipment! You need to clean up right now!" + +Lily and Max paused. They looked at each other and then at Mom. They knew they were in trouble. + +"Sorry, Mom," they said together. + +They put their equipment away and got the hose. They sprayed each other and the backyard with water. They tried to wash off the mud and the sand. They still had some mud in their hair and on their clothes. + +Mom watched them and shook her head. She smiled a little. She remembered when she was a kid and played in the mud too. She went inside and got some towels and clean clothes for them. + +"Come on, kids, time to get dry and change," she said. "Then you can have some real cake for snack." + +Lily and Max ran to Mom and hugged her. They said thank you and sorry again. They went inside and got ready for snack. They still liked to play with their equipment, but they decided to be more careful next time. They did not want to make Mom angry or the backyard messy again. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat yogurt. But sometimes they fight over the same toy or the same yogurt. Mommy and Daddy tell them to share and be nice, but they do not always listen. + +One day, they find a big tub of yogurt in the fridge. It is unusual. It has many colors and shapes in it. Lila and Ben want to try it. They both grab a spoon and run to the tub. But they do not want to share. They want to have it all for themselves. + +"Mine!" Lila says, scooping some yogurt with her spoon. + +"No, mine!" Ben says, pushing Lila's spoon away. + +They start to fight. They pull and tug and shout. They make a big mess. The yogurt spills on the floor, on the table, on their clothes. Mommy and Daddy hear the noise and come to the kitchen. They see Lila and Ben and the yogurt. They are not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mommy asks, frowning. + +"Stop fighting!" Daddy says, raising his voice. + +Lila and Ben stop. They look at Mommy and Daddy. They look at the yogurt. They feel sorry. They did not mean to make a mess. They did not mean to make Mommy and Daddy angry. + +"We're sorry," Lila says, dropping her spoon. + +"We're sorry," Ben says, wiping his face. + +Mommy and Daddy sigh. They hug Lila and Ben. They tell them to apologize to each other and to help clean up. They tell them that the yogurt is not for eating. It is for making art. It is unusual yogurt. They show them how to use it to paint pictures on paper. Lila and Ben think that is fun. They forget about fighting. They share the yogurt and the paper. They make beautiful art. They smile and laugh. Mommy and Daddy smile and laugh too. They are happy. +Tom was a little boy who liked to climb trees. He wanted to climb the big tree in his backyard, but he was scared.

She said, "Do you want to climb the tree, Tom?" Tom nodded, but he also said, "I'm scared. The tree is too big." + +Anna smiled and said, "Don't be scared, Tom. I can help you. I have a belt that we can use." She took off her belt and tied one end to a low branch. She gave the other end to Tom and said, "Hold this, Tom. This is your rope. You can use it to pull yourself up. I will encourage you from here." + +Tom took the belt and felt a little braver. He put his feet on the trunk and pulled on the belt. He moved up slowly, one step at a time. Anna cheered him on and said, "You can do it, Tom. You are strong and brave. You are almost there." + +Tom kept climbing until he reached the branch. He felt very happy and proud. He looked down and saw Anna smiling and clapping. He said, "I did it, Anna. I climbed the big tree. Thank you for helping me and encouraging me." + +Anna said, "You're welcome, Tom. You did a great job. I'm proud of you. Now, do you want to come down or stay up there?" + +Tom said, "I want to stay up here for a while. It's fun. I can see everything from here." + +Anna said, "Okay, Tom. Have fun. But be careful. And when you want to come down, just use the belt again. I will be here to catch you." + +Tom said, "Okay, Anna. Thank you. You are the best sister ever." + +Anna said, "You're welcome, Tom. You are the best brother ever." +Ben and Mia were playing in the living room.

It crawled out of the box and onto Mia's arm. Mia was very afraid. She tried to shake it off, but it bit her. It hurt a lot. + +"Ben, help me, help me!" Mia cried, tears in her eyes. Ben laughed. He thought it was funny. He had found the spider in the garden and put it in the box. He wanted to scare Mia. He did not care that she was hurt. + +"Ha ha, you are such a baby, Mia! It's just a spider, it's not scary!" Ben said, mocking her. He did not help her. He drove his box away. Mia was alone and in pain. She wished Ben was a nicer brother. She wished someone would come and help her. She wished the spider would go away. But no one came. And the spider did not go away. +Sam was restless. He did not want to nap. He wanted to play. He looked at his toy box. It was locked. Mom had the key. Mom was sleeping. + +Sam had an idea. He crept to Mom's room. He saw the key on the nightstand. He reached for it. He was careful not to wake Mom. He got the key. He ran to his toy box. + +He put the key in the lock. He turned it. He heard a click. He unlocked the toy box. He opened it. He saw his toys. He smiled. He picked his favorite toy. It was a plane. He made it fly in the air. He pretended he was a pilot. + +He flew his plane around the room. He flew it over the bed. He flew it over the chair. He flew it over the window. He saw the land outside. He saw the trees and the flowers and the birds. He wanted to go outside.

He played with his plane in the land. He forgot about his nap. He forgot about Mom. He forgot about the toy box. He only thought about his plane and the land. He was restless no more. +Ben and Mia love to swim in the lake. They wear swimsuits and goggles and jump in the water. The water is cool and clear and they can see many fish and plants. + +One day, they see something shiny at the bottom of the lake. They want to find out what it is. They take a big breath and dive down. They swim fast and reach the shiny thing. It is a big coin with a picture of a lion on it. It is incredible! + +They grab the coin and swim back up.

Lily says, "Look, lemons!" Tom says, "I want one!" He runs to the tree and tries to reach a lemon. But he is too small. He jumps and jumps, but he cannot get one. + +Lily has an idea. She finds a stick and gives it to Tom. She says, "Use this to throw at the lemons. Maybe one will fall down." Tom takes the stick and throws it at the lemons. He misses the first time. He tries again and again. He hits a lemon, but it does not fall. He throws harder and harder. + +Suddenly, a fat cat comes out of the tree. It is angry and scared. It hisses and spits at Tom and Lily. It jumps down and runs away. Tom and Lily are surprised and laugh. They see that the cat has knocked down a lemon. They pick it up and share it.

She felt happy when she spun. + +One day, she went to visit her grandma. Grandma had a big piano in her living room. Lily wanted to spin on the piano. She climbed on the stool and started to spin. + +"Stop, Lily, stop!" Grandma said. "You will fall and hurt yourself. And you will break the piano. The piano is not for spinning. The piano is for playing music." + +Lily did not listen. She spun faster and faster. She felt dizzy and silly. She laughed and spun. + +Then, she heard a loud crash. She had spun too much and knocked over a vase. The vase broke into pieces. The water and the flowers spilled on the floor. + +Lily stopped spinning. She felt scared and sorry. She looked at Grandma. Grandma looked angry and sad. + +"I'm sorry, Grandma," Lily said. "I didn't mean to break the vase. I just wanted to spin." + +Grandma sighed. She hugged Lily. "I know, Lily, I know. You like to spin. But you have to be careful. You have to respect other people's things. The vase was very old and precious. It belonged to my mother. And the piano is very expensive and delicate. It needs to be treated with care." + +Lily nodded. She felt bad. She wanted to make Grandma happy. She had an idea. + +"Can you teach me how to play the piano, Grandma?" she asked. "Maybe I will like playing music as much as spinning." + +Grandma smiled. She was generous and kind. She wiped the tears from her eyes. She took Lily's hand and led her to the piano. + +"Of course, Lily, of course. I would love to teach you how to play the piano. Come, let me show you the keys and the notes. Maybe you will find a new way to express yourself and have fun." + +Lily smiled. She was curious and eager. She sat on the stool and listened to Grandma. She touched the keys and heard the sounds. She felt happy and proud. + +She learned that the piano was not for spinning. The piano was for playing music. And she liked playing music with Grandma. +Tom and Sue like to play in the park.

They try hard, but they cannot move it. + +A big dog comes to the park. He is wild and loud. He barks and runs at Tom and Sue. They are scared. They run away from the dog. They hide behind the barrel. The dog cannot see them. + +The dog smells the barrel. He thinks there is something inside. He bites and scratches the barrel. He makes a hole in it. Water comes out of the barrel. The water makes the barrel lighter. The barrel starts to roll down the hill. + +Tom and Sue see the barrel rolling. They are happy. They cheer and clap. The dog sees the barrel rolling. He is angry. He chases the barrel. He tries to catch it. He cannot catch it. The barrel rolls faster and faster. The barrel rolls into the pond.

They are glad they tried to roll the barrel. +Ben and Lily were playing catch with a pillow in their room. They liked to throw the pillow high and low, and see who could catch it better. Sometimes they missed and the pillow fell on the floor, but they did not mind. They just laughed and picked it up again. + +"Look, Lily, I can catch the pillow with one hand!" Ben said, as he threw the pillow to himself and grabbed it with his right hand. + +"Wow, Ben, you are so good!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "Can I try too?" + +"Sure, Lily, here you go!" Ben said, and tossed the pillow to Lily. Lily reached out with her left hand and tried to catch the pillow, but it was too fast and too big. The pillow hit her in the face and made her fall backwards on the bed. + +"Ouch!" Lily said, rubbing her nose. "That hurt!" + +"I'm sorry, Lily, are you okay?" Ben said, running to the bed and hugging his sister. "I didn't mean to hurt you." + +"I'm okay, Ben, don't worry," Lily said, smiling. "It was just a little bump. You are a very successful catcher, Ben. But maybe we should use a smaller pillow next time." + +"Okay, Lily, that sounds like a good idea," Ben said, nodding. "Let's find a smaller pillow and play some more. Catching pillows is fun!" + +They got off the bed and looked for a smaller pillow in their closet. They found a soft and fluffy one that was just the right size. They started to play catch again, but this time they were more careful and gentle. They had a lot of fun and did not get hurt again.

They wanted to complete the puzzle and see the picture. + +"Let's work together and finish the puzzle," Tom said. + +"OK, but I want to put the last piece," Lily said. + +They started to fit the pieces together, but soon they had a problem. They could not find the last piece. They looked everywhere, but it was gone. + +"Where is the last piece?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe we lost it," Lily said. + +They felt sad and angry. They could not complete the puzzle without the last piece. + +Then, Tom saw something in Lily's pocket. It was the last piece. He took it out and showed it to Lily. + +"Lily, you had the last piece all along. Why did you hide it?" Tom asked. + +Lily looked guilty. She wanted to put the last piece and win the game. She did not want to share with Tom. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I was bad. I wanted to be the best. But I was wrong. It was not fun to play alone. It was more fun to play with you," Lily said. + +Tom smiled and hugged Lily. He forgave her and gave her the last piece. + +"Let's complete the puzzle together, Lily. We are a team. We can both be the best," Tom said. + +They put the last piece and saw the picture. It was a picture of a mint plant. It smelled good and fresh. + +They learned a lesson. They learned to share and cooperate. They learned that being bad was not good. They learned that being good was better. They were happy and proud. They completed the puzzle. +Ben and Lily like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a doll. They see a big dog near the fence. The dog has a red collar and a long tail.

He likes to play. + +"His name is Max," a voice says. Ben and Lily look up and see a man. The man has a blue hat and a bag. He is the postman. He brings letters and packages to people. + +"Hi, postman!" Lily says. "Is Max your dog?" + +"Yes, he is," the postman says. "He comes with me every day. He helps me deliver the post. He knows all the houses and the people. He is a smart dog." + +"Wow, that is cool!" Ben says. "Can we play with Max?" + +"Sure, you can," the postman says. "But be careful.

They make new friends. They are happy. +Lisa liked to play in the snow with her brother Tom. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf and a carrot nose. Lisa wanted to give the snowman a glove, too. She saw a red glove on the ground near a tree. She ran to get it. + +But the glove was not a glove. It was a mitten. And it was not on the ground. It was on a branch. And it was not near a tree. It was on a squirrel. The squirrel was very naughty.

Maybe I have another glove for the snowman." + +Lisa nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, too, Mom. I did not know it was a squirrel's mitten. I just wanted to make the snowman happy. Can we go back and finish him?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's have some hot chocolate. And then, I have a surprise for you. I have a pair of gloves that match your hat and scarf. They are very warm and cozy. And they are not for squirrels. They are for you." +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen.

Can we go to the park later?" Mom says, "Yes, we can. But only if you promise to listen to me and follow the rules." Anna says, "I promise, mom. I love you." Mom says, "I love you too, Anna. Now, come on. Let's go to the kitchen and get your cookie." They hold hands and walk to the kitchen. Anna feels happy and forgets about her pain.

They share their toys. + +One day, they see a big pile of mud. It is wet and brown. They want to play in the mud. They run to the mud and jump in. They laugh and splash. They make mud pies and mud castles. They are very dirty. + +But then, a big dog comes. It is black and hairy. It has sharp teeth and loud bark. It wants to play in the mud too. It runs to the mud and jumps in. It knocks over the mud pies and mud castles. It bites the ball and the bike. It growls and barks. It is very tough. + +Ben and Sam are scared. They cry and run away. They leave their toys in the mud. They do not want to play with the dog. They want their mom and dad. + +The dog is happy. It has the mud and the toys. It thinks it owns them. It licks the ball and the bike. It rolls in the mud. It is very dirty. +Anna loved to whistle. She whistled when she woke up, when she played, and when she helped her mom. She whistled happy songs and sad songs, loud songs and soft songs. She whistled all the time. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and her dog, Spot. Spot was a big, brown dog who liked to run and chase squirrels. Anna whistled as they walked, and Spot wagged his tail. They saw a man selling beef on a stick. Anna's mom bought one for her and one for Spot. They smelled good and tasted good. + +Anna whistled as she ate her beef on a stick. She saw a boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely.

Do you want to be my friend?" + +The boy looked up and smiled. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Yes, I want to be your friend. You are very nice and compassionate." + +Anna gave him half of her beef on a stick. She said, "Here, you can have this. It's yummy. And this is my dog, Spot. He likes to play. Do you want to play with us?" + +Ben nodded and took the beef on a stick. He said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very generous and kind. And Spot is very cute and friendly. Yes, I want to play with you." + +Anna, Ben, and Spot played together in the park. They ran, jumped, and laughed. They had fun. Anna whistled a happy song. She was glad she made a new friend. She thought whistling was the best thing in the world. +Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, their mom told them to wear warm clothes because it was very cold. She said, "Do not run too far or you will get lost. Stay close to the house and listen for my voice. Be obedient, my loves." + +Tim and Lily put on their hats, scarves and gloves and went outside. They saw some snow on the ground and decided to make a snowman. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They gave the snowman a carrot nose, a button mouth and a hat. + +They were having fun, but Tim wanted to explore more. He saw a big hill and wanted to slide down it. He said to Lily, "Come on, let's go to the hill. It looks fun." Lily said, "No, Tim, mom said to stay close to the house. It is too far and too cold. We might get lost or hurt. Let's stay here with the snowman." + +But Tim did not listen to Lily or mom. He said, "You are a scaredy-cat. I am not afraid. I want to have fun. I will be back soon." He ran to the hill and left Lily alone with the snowman. + +Lily was sad and worried. She hoped Tim would be okay. She stayed with the snowman and waited for him. She heard mom calling their names. She said, "Mom, I am here. Tim ran to the hill. He did not listen to you or me." + +Mom was angry and scared. She said, "Oh, Tim, why did you do that? You are not obedient. You are in trouble. Come back now." She ran to the hill to find Tim. + +Tim was sliding down the hill, but he did not see a big rock. He hit the rock and fell off his sled. He hurt his leg and cried. He was cold and lost. He wished he had listened to Lily and mom. He said, "Help, help, I am sorry. I want to go home." + +Mom heard Tim's cry and ran to him. She hugged him and said, "Tim, I am glad I found you. You are hurt and cold. You are very naughty. You should have been obedient. You should have stayed with Lily and the snowman. They are your friends. They care about you." + +She carried Tim back to the house and gave him some medicine and a blanket. She said, "You need to rest and say sorry to Lily. She was obedient and smart. She stayed with the snowman and waited for you. She loves you." + +Tim said, "I am sorry, mom. I am sorry, Lily. I was foolish and selfish. I wanted to have fun, but I did not think about you. I love you too. Can we play with the snowman again tomorrow?" + +Mom said, "Maybe, if you are obedient and careful. And if you say thank you to the snowman. He kept Lily company and warm. He is a good friend." + +Tim and Lily said, "Thank you, snowman. You are a good friend. We will play with you again tomorrow. We will be obedient and happy." + +The end. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside after dinner. They have a big yard with a swing and a slide. They also have a dog named Spot.

We can make a rocket with a box and some paper and some tape," Anna says. + +Anna and Ben rush to the garage. They find a big box and some paper and some tape. They cut and fold and stick the paper to the box. They make a rocket with a pointy top and a round window and some wings. They draw some stars and planets on the paper.

Anna and Ben shout. + +They close their eyes and pretend to fly to the moon. They feel the rocket shake and zoom. They hear the wind and the stars. They smell the cheese. + +They open their eyes. They see the moon. It is big and bright and round. It is smiling at them. They smile back. + +"Hello, moon!" Anna and Ben say. + +"Hello, Anna and Ben and Spot!" the moon says. + +"Can we play with you, moon?" Anna and Ben ask. + +"Of course, you can play with me, moon. I have a lot of cheese for you. But you have to be quick. The sun is coming soon. The sun will make me hidden. Then you won't see me anymore," the moon says. + +"OK, moon. We will be quick. We love cheese. Thank you, moon," Anna and Ben say. + +They get out of the rocket. They run to the moon. They hug the moon. They eat the cheese. They laugh and play with the moon. Spot barks and plays with the moon too. They have a lot of fun. + +But soon, they see the sun. The sun is bright and warm and yellow. The sun is rising in the sky. The sun is making the moon hidden. The moon is fading away. + +"Bye, moon!" Anna and Ben say. + +"Bye, Anna and Ben and Spot! Come back soon. I will miss you," the moon says. + +Anna and Ben and Spot get back into the rocket.

How was your trip to the moon?" mom and dad ask. + +"It was great, mom and dad! We met the moon. He was nice. He gave us cheese. We played with him. But he had to go. The sun made him hidden. We will go again. We love the moon," Anna and Ben say. + +"That sounds wonderful, Anna and Ben and Spot. We are happy for you. We love you," mom and dad say. + +They hug and kiss Anna and Ben and Spot. They go inside the house. They have a bath and a snack and a story. They go to bed. They dream of the moon.

They drove for a long time, until they saw the sea. + +"Look, look!" Lily shouted. "The sea is blue and shiny!" + +"I want to swim and play in the sand!" Tom said. + +They got out of the car and ran to the beach. Mum and Dad put a big blanket on the sand and opened a basket. They had sandwiches and juice and cookies for lunch. + +Lily and Tom took their buckets and shovels and started to make a sandcastle. They piled up the sand and made towers and walls and a moat. They found some shells and stones and put them on the sandcastle to make it pretty. + +"Wow, our sandcastle is so big and nice!" Lily said. + +"Let's make a flag for it!" Tom said.

They showed it to Mum and Dad, who smiled and clapped. + +"Good job, Lily and Tom!" Mum said. "You are very creative!" + +"Thank you, Mum!" Lily and Tom said. + +They ate their lunch and drank their juice. They were very hungry and thirsty. They shared some cookies with Mum and Dad. + +After lunch, they decided to go for a swim. They put on their swimsuits and ran to the water. The water was cold and wet, but they liked it. They splashed and jumped and laughed. + +They saw some fish and crabs and starfish in the water. They were very curious and tried to touch them, but they were too fast and shy. They swam back to the shore and dried themselves with towels. + +They went back to their sandcastle and saw a big surprise. Some birds had come and pecked at their sandcastle. They had made holes and cracks and messes. They had scattered the shells and stones and the flag. + +"Oh no, our sandcastle!" Lily cried. + +"Bad birds, bad birds!" Tom shouted. + +They were very sad and angry. They tried to fix their sandcastle, but it was too late. It was ruined. + +Mum and Dad came and hugged them. They told them not to be upset. + +"It's okay, Lily and Tom," Mum said. "It's just a sandcastle. You can make another one tomorrow." + +"Or you can make something else with the sand," Dad said. "Maybe a boat or a car or a dragon." + +Lily and Tom wiped their tears and nodded. They knew Mum and Dad were right. They still had many days of holiday left. They could have more fun and make more things with the sand. + +They smiled and hugged Mum and Dad. They were still happy. They loved their holiday. They loved the sea and the sand and the sun.
