You must never take something that doesn't belong to you." + +Michael felt even more sad. He thought it was not fair that he couldn't pick the olive.

His dad explained that Mom was deaf and that it was hard for her to understand things. + +George thought for a moment, feeling sad for Mom.

What have you found?" + +The fish smiled and said, "I found a bell! It looks so pretty and it's so shiny!" The dolphin asked if he wanted to play a game with it and he said yes, so they played together. The fierce fish had so much fun swimming around with the bell and the dolphin.

His parents laughed and explained that you usually marry someone else, not a creek. But that didn't stop the stubborn boy. + +He found some flowers in the meadow and brought them to the creek. He made a pretty garland and placed it around the creek. Then he said some special words that he did not understand.

Her Daddy just said "That's just the way it has to be". + +The little girl felt so sad and frustrated that she couldn't change the ceiling back. No matter how much she asked, the ceiling stayed the same.

His brother said no and told him to leave it alone. + +But James was so curious. He couldn’t control himself. He decided to use it no matter what. He put all his strength into it and he tried to use it. Then, something bad happened. The white thing exploded and James was very scared. + +He ran to his brother and started to cry. His brother saw the white thing was a bomb. He was very angry with James. + +James learned a good lesson that day. Some things should not be used. +Once upon a time, there was a tall tree in the forest. It stood so tall, it was the tallest one of all. But one day, a big axe arrived and wanted to eat the big tree. The tree was so scared, it shouted, "Please don't eat me!" The axe answered back, "I'm so hungry and have to eat, is there anything else I can have instead?" The tree thought for a moment and said, "If you eat my apples, I won't be mad." The axe nodded and thanked the tree and started to eat the sweet apples. After a few bites, the axe was full and thanked the tree for the delicious meal. The tree was so happy that it got to stay alive and could watch the forest from its tall spot. +Once upon a time there was a little bear called Ted. He was very naughty. One day he was walking in the forest when he saw a label on a tree. Ted was curious, so he decided to remove the label to see what was behind it. + +When he peeled back the label he found a tiny toy.

Nothing seemed to help, so he started to yell for help. + +Suddenly, a grown up emerged from behind a tree.

He thanked the grown up and ran off to continue playing in the park. But soon Luke started to feel very ill. His body was hot and he was dizzy. He yelled for help but nobody came. + +Luke tried again and again to yell for help, but nobody came. In the end, Luke was so sick he had to go to hospital. The doctors said he was very ill and that he had caught a bad infection. + +Luke was disappointed that nobody had come to help him when he yelled and he wished he had never asked the stranger in the park for help. He had been so healthy but now he was very, very sick. +Once there was a little girl called Lucy. She was a big strong girl and she was 3 years old. + +One day, Lucy was very excited, it was her birthday! She went outside to play in the garden and she stepped onto a big soft mattress. + +Lucy and her friends played for hours. Lucy made a silly joke and all her friends laughed. + +Then Lucy stepped onto the grass and something surprising happened. A large rabbit hopped out from behind a tree! + +Lucy was so excited. She laughed and giggled. She and her friends chased the rabbit around the garden. It was lots of fun! + +Finally, it was time to go inside for birthday cake. Lucy waved goodbye to her rabbit friend and stepped inside to join her party. +Once upon a time there was a wide meadow where all the animals lived. A small rabbit, named Peter, was especially brave. He trusted every animal and thought nothing bad would ever happen. + +One day, when Peter was hopping across the meadow, he spotted a big, tall celery. It was so green and it looked juicy and delicious. "What a wonder celery!", cried Peter, and decided to take a bite. + +Peter couldn't believe his eyes. Inside the celery he found a pair of tiny birds. They had their heads hidden inside their wings, so scared that they couldn't even look at Peter. + +"Don't be afraid, little ones", Peter said. "I won't harm you, I will trust you as I do with everyone". + +The birds were surprised when they heard this. They came out of the celery and said with happy voices: "Thank you for trusting us, Peter. We will never forget it". + +The birds flew away, and Peter watched them fly away with a big smile on his face. He learned that trusting strangers is a good thing, and that is why he was so happy! +Once upon a time there were two best friends, Jack and Jill. Every day, they would meet up to play. + +One day, when they were playing in the garden, Jack noticed that the sky was getting dark. He said, "Jill, I think a storm is coming! We better get dressed quickly!". + +Fortunately, they had a reliable raincoat that they could put on. With it, they could stay playing in the garden even when it was raining. + +The storm came suddenly and it was very strong. But since they had their raincoats, they were safe.

Suddenly, he stopped, and his eyes widened in surprise. He had spotted a skeleton! + +Tommy gazed at the skeleton for a few moments. He had never seen one before and it made him curious. What did it mean to have a skeleton in the woods? He pondered this thought as he stepped closer to the skeleton. + +Suddenly, Tommy heard a voice. “What do you want?†Tommy looked around to see who it was coming from. He spotted a wealthy man standing next to the skeleton. “I was just looking,†replied Tommy. + +The man nodded. “This was once my skeleton,†he said. “Many years ago, I was wealthy but I was never happy. I came to this spot in the woods and left my skeleton here to remind me of my past.†+ +Tommy smiled. He was glad to have met this wealthy man and pleased to have learnt about the skeleton. As he started to walk away, he glanced one last time at the skeleton and waved goodbye. +Peter and his mommy were on their way to the doctor's office. Peter was very excited, because he was going to get his very own x-ray. When they got to the doctor's office, Peter stepped into the room. He saw a big machine, and he knew it was for him. Mommy said, "This machine will take a picture of your body to help the doctor. It's called an x-ray." + +Peter cheered and said "Let's do it!" + +The doctor agreed and helped Peter lay down on the table. He put an unknown item on Peter's body, then he stepped away to the machine. The doctor pressed some buttons, and then a beam of light shone down from the machine and part of Peter's body. + +Peter was excited to see his body in the x-ray. He grinned and asked, "What does it show?" + +The doctor smiled and said, "It's too early to tell. We'll need to come back another time and take a look at the x-ray." + +Peter nodded and said, "Ok, that sounds like fun!" + +And that's how Peter and his mommy found out their very own secret unknown part of his body. +There were two dolls, Lily and Lucy. They were very close friends and always did things together. One day, Lily and Lucy decided to have an adventure and follow a path in the woods. They walked together until they came to an old bridge. + +Lily stopped and looked at the bridge, it was very tight and it seemed very old. Lucy said, "Come on, let's cross it!" + +Lily was scared, but Lucy grabbed her hand and walked across the bridge. As they were walking, they heard a loud snap. Lily was frightened and Lucy said "It's ok, nothing happened!" + +They went a little further and they saw a beautiful flower beside the path. Its colors were so pretty. Lucy wanted to take a picture of it. She tried to take a photo with her phone, but the photo didn't turn out so well. She said, "I wish I had a print of the photo so we could always remember it." + +Lily then grabbed a stone and pressed it on the flower until the colors were printed on the stone. She handed it to Lucy and said, "Now we can remember the flower forever." + +The two friends hugged each other and walked back home, feeling happy and tight as ever. The end. +Once upon a time there was a small fox who wanted to explore the world. He took big steps, cautiously wandering in search of an adventure. Suddenly, he heard a voice calling his name, "little fox!". He looked around and spied a rabbit sitting in the grass. The rabbit smiled and said, "I have an exciting idea, would you like to hear it?". The fox couldn't believe his ears and nodded eagerly. + +The rabbit's idea was to collect some soft feathers and make a bed for them to sleep in. Soon enough, the fox had found enough feathers and made a fluffy bed. They both hopped in and with a contented sigh, the fox nestled his head onto the rabbit's soft fur. As he snuggled in, he realized how his brain had been filled with ideas and he was happy to take a break for the night. + +In the morning, the fox opened his eyes and thanked the rabbit for their wonderful night together. The rabbit smiled and said, "It's ok! Let's wander together and explore more!".

Jane was very excited and started examining the playhouse. + +When they came closer, they noticed that the playhouse was in a very miserable state. The walls were chipped, the windows broken and there were no toys or furniture inside. Jane noticed this and asked her mum, "Why is it so miserable?" + +Mum thought for a moment and said, "Well, it looks like it hasn't been looked after very well. We can't play here, Jane. But maybe if we work together, we can make it look better!" + +Jane smiled. She was ready to help. "Let's do it," she said. Jane and her mum got to work and slowly but surely, the playhouse went from being a miserable structure to one that was cosy and inviting. + +Jane was so happy that she and her mum had made such a difference. She had one more question before they left. She asked, "When can I play here?" + +Mum smiled and replied, "Whenever you want, my love. Whenever +Once upon time there was a little girl.

She hopped over to the bucket and peered inside. + +"What do we have here?" Churpy said. + +There was a large pile of sunflower seeds in the bucket. Churpy's eyes lit up. She scooped up some seeds in her small beak and soon filled up the bucket with sunflower seeds. + +But as Churpy finished she heard a loud noise coming from outside the yard. It was the farmer! He had come to fill the bucket with corn so the other animals could eat. Churpy had filled the bucket with sunflower seeds and now the other animals wouldn't have any corn to eat. + +The farmer was very upset. He shouted at Churpy, "Why did you fill my bucket with sunflower seeds! Now the other animals won't have any corn!" + +Churpy just stared up at the farmer. She knew she'd made a mistake, so she quickly hopped away from the bucket. "I'm sorry!" she called back. + +The farmer just grumbled and shook his head. But he realized Churpy didn't mean any harm and he found some more corn to fill the bucket. Finally +Once there was a little girl called Mary. She was only three years old but was very curious.

Mary could feel it in the air. + +She put up her tent and got ready to go explore the forest. As she walked around, she came across a beautiful deer. The deer was very graceful and it answered Mary's questions about the forest. Mary was amazed and thanked the deer for its answers. + +Before ending her adventure, Mary learnt an important lesson. She realised that the world around her was beautiful, but it was fragile too. To keep the world beautiful, she needed to treat it with care and respect. + +That night, Mary went to sleep feeling grateful that she had the opportunity to meet the graceful deer, and that it showed her the importance of taking care of her environment. +Once upon a time there was a little boy named Tim who was only three.

He landed on the box and said: "What's inside this box?". + +The box replied: "Just unpack me and find out!". Ollie was so excited he quickly tore off the lid. Inside the box were all kinds of soft, fluffy textures. + +Ollie couldn't believe his eyes. He wanted to play with it all but knew he had to be careful. + +So Ollie left some of the textures in the box and took some of the textures away to play with. When he had finished, he packed up the box and put it back on the branch. + +Ollie learned a valuable lesson that day: it's always a good idea to be careful and think before you act! Even though it was tempting, taking everything from the box would have been too much. Ollie's clever decision taught him the importance of moderation. +There were two friends, Mary and Peter. Mary was an old friend, while Peter was a new one. One day, Mary and Peter were playing around when they saw an old case on the floor. + +Mary thought it was a great idea to organize the case. She organized it neatly and put things inside the case. + +Peter on the other hand, thought it was a waste of time. He said it was better to just leave it as a toy. + +Mary argued that it would actually be a useful toy. By keeping the case organized, it would be easier for them to use it whenever they needed it. + +Peter understood that organizing the case was the right thing to do. They both worked together and organized the case. + +The moral of this story is to always organize things because it will make life easier. Even when something seems like a waste of time, it can be beneficial in the long run. +One day, Bob was wandering around the park. He had never been there before, but he thought it would be fun. He saw lots of pretty trees and pete and puddles. + +Suddenly, something caught his eye. It was a big, fake castle. Bob stared at it with his mouth open. He didn't know what it was, but he wanted to get closer. + +So Bob ran to the castle. Once he was there, he looked up and saw that it was made of plastic pieces. He touched it, and it wobbled a little. He thought it was very cool. + +Just then, Bob heard a voice. + +"Hey there!" the voice said. + +Bob looked up and saw a small, friendly-looking man standing next to the castle. + +"Where did you find this fake castle?" Bob asked. + +"Oh," the man said, "I put it up one week ago. I thought people would like it." + +Bob smiled. He thanked the man and said goodbye. Then he wandered off to explore the park some more. +Once there was a lovely flower. She was very happy and smiled all day long.

He had many adventures and was so excited to learn about the world. + +But then, a wind came and suddenly the little bug couldn't move. His delicate body and legs were swept away in the strong winds. He went far away from his home and was never seen again. + +The moral of the story is that even though exploring the world may be exciting, you should never be too adventurous. Sometimes the risks are not worth it, and it can lead to bad endings. +Once upon a time, there was a great big muddy puddle. Two children, one called Max and the other called Mia, were out for a walk. When they came to the puddle, Mia said, "Max, let's lift the mud out of the puddle so we can jump in." + +Max looked at Mia and smiled. He said, "That will be great fun! Let's get started." + +So they bent down, put their hands in the mud and started to lift. They worked hard and soon there was a pile of mud on the ground and the puddle was much smaller.

The boy went back home with a heavy heart. He would never see the lovely flea ever again. +Once there was a little fish who lived in the sea. One day, the fish decided to go on an adventure. He said goodbye to all of his friends and sailed away. As he sailed, he noticed something shining on the rocks. He swam closer and saw it was a pair of sunglasses. He put the sunglasses on and sailed away. + +The fish sailed for a long time until he noticed the sky was turning gray. He couldn't see anything! He quickly took off his sunglasses and the gray sky became bright again. He was glad he had remembered to take them off. + +Soon he came across a big and sandy beach. He beached his boat and ran around, exploring the shore. He found a little lighthouse and waved at it. Suddenly, a voice said, "Where did you get those sunglasses?" It was a seagull! + +The fish quickly told the seagull about his adventure and he gave the sunglasses to the seagull. The seagull put on the glasses, waved farewell and flew away.

After some time, the mommy said, "We must go now - it is getting late and we need to do the laundry!" + +The toddler did not want to leave, but the mommy said, "Come on now, we need to be fast!" + +The toddler grumpily followed her mommy back to the car, thinking of all the fun they had at the park.

He decided one day he would study the elevator. He stared at it with eager eyes. He watched it go up and down with people in it. He thought it was interesting how it moved so quickly. + +He asked his mom to let him go inside and study it. She was hesitant, but John was impatient and kept asking. Finally, she said yes and they both got inside. He was amazed at how quickly the elevator went up to the highest floor. + +John was so eager to explore the elevator. He examined all of the buttons and learned what they did. He also studied how the elevator stayed steady even when it went up and down. He asked his mom questions and was so curious. + +John had studied the elevator carefully. He said goodbye to the elevator and thanked his mom for letting him study it. He was so happy to learn something new and discover what the elevator can do. +Once upon a time there was a big, high palace. It was very big and it was very tall. Inside the palace lived a princess.

She was so excited when she saw it. She put it inside her palace. +But then, one night, something bad happened. When the princess woke up the next morning, she saw that somebody had broken into the palace and taken the present that Tom gave her. +The princess was so sad. She was really angry too. She told Tom what had happened. Tom was sad too. He tried to help her find out who had taken her present, but they could never find out. +The princess was never quite the same after that. She never felt quite as safe in her high palace again. +Once upon a time there was a little boy called Sam. He was only three years old. One day he found a hero in the woods. He was so excited and couldn't believe his luck. +Sam thought it was his lucky day! He asked the hero: "Will you help me?". But instead of being friendly, the hero said: "No way! I'm too scared". +Sam was so scared and sad. He just wanted someone to help him, but the hero didn't want to help him at all. +The End. +Once upon a time, there were two cats. One was big and the other was small - but just as cute. The cats were both walking along a line in the grass. + +"What are we doing here?" asked the small cat. + +"I think we are waiting for something," said the big cat. + +The cats waited, and soon enough a bird flew by with a worm in its beak. The cats both thought the worm looked really tasty! + +"Let's catch the worm!" said the small cat. + +So the cats started to chase the bird. They chased it all the way up a tree, but the bird flew away and the cats didn't get the worm. + +The cats were sad. + +"That was close," said the big cat. "But at least we had fun trying." + +The small cat smiled and nodded. It was a cute sight to see. And so the cats went back to their line in the grass and waited for something new. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Jill. She loved to play outside on the porch with her friends. + +One day, Jill had an accident and dropped her favorite toy on the porch. She looked around for help, but no one was there. She felt so sad. + +"Why is Jill so sad," asked her friend, Gary. Then he saw the broken toy on the porch and said, "I will help you fix it." + +Jill was very happy and thanked Gary. He grabbed some tools from inside and they worked together to fix Jill's toy. + +In the end, the toy was fixed and Jill was very happy again. She hugged Gary and said, "Thank you for helping me!" + +The end. +Mia was playing in the park. She watched as the animals jumped around and saw the birds chirp and fly in the sky. Mia was having fun. + +Suddenly Mia noticed something interesting. There was a glove lying on the ground. It was white and it was made of a soft and lightweight material. Mia bent down and examined it. It was fragile, so Mia knew she had to be careful. + +Mia wanted to take the glove home with her so she lifted it up. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. The glove started to twist and squirm! Mia was surprised. She looked around, but no one was there. + +Mia decided she could still take the glove home with her. She gingerly picked it up and placed it in her small pocket. + +Mia took the glove home, and when she walked through the door, she was surprised at what happened next. Out of Mia's pocket came the voice of a small mouse! + +Mia could hardly believe it. She quickly jumped back and the mouse scrambled away quickly. In the end, Mia learned a valuable lesson about being careful with fragile things. +Once there was a great leopard named Tom. Tom loved to explore the woods. Whenever Tom went exploring, his parents said, "Be sure to use your mind, Tom. That will help you stay safe.†+ +One day Tom was out in the woods and he came across a small clearing with a pond. He was so excited to go swimming, but he remembered what his parents had said. He decided to use his mind and explore the clearing first. + +Tom sniffed around and saw something he had never seen before. It was a small blue creature with a long tail. It was so cute! Tom wanted to get closer and say hello, but he knew he should use his mind. + +Tom asked the creature, "Who are you?" + +The creature replied, "I am a raccoon. I like to explore the woods, just like you!" + +Tom and the raccoon became great friends and explored the woods together for many days. They always remembered to mind their parents and stay safe. +Once upon a time, there was a Little Bear who lived near the forest. Little Bear and his family were very happy living in their cozy home. One day Little Bear's dad decided to take him for a walk in the forest. + +Little Bear was excited to explore the forest and he went running ahead to find interesting things. Suddenly, he saw a leaf that was shaped like a sign pointing him in one direction. He told his dad that he wanted to go in that direction, but his dad said it could be dangerous. + +Little Bear was so eager to explore that he wouldn't listen to his dad's warnings. He ran ahead and followed the leaf-shaped sign. After a few minutes, Little Bear heard a strange noise, and he got scared. + +He ran back to his dad and said, "Daddy, I heard something, what was it?" His dad looked around and said, "It's OK Little Bear, it's just a large dangerous animal. We need to go back home now." + +Little Bear was happy to be safe and he held his dad's hand very tightly while they walked back home together. The next day Little Bear asked his dad, "Can we go back to the forest and find that leaf-shaped sign again daddy?" + +His dad said, "Yes. But next time, we need to be more careful, ok Little Bear? That leaf was only a sign to tell us something is dangerous nearby." +Once upon a time, there was a painter. She was busy painting pictures all day. One day, she asked her friend, "What should I paint?" + +Her friend said, "Paint something that can change." + +The painter thought and thought but she couldn't find anything that could change. So she decided to take a walk. + +On her way, she passed a sour lemon tree. The sour lemons made her think and she got an idea. She picked a lemon, plugged it and made a painting of it. + +The painter showed her painting to her friend. Her friend said, "What a great painting! Things always change. Nothing ever stays the same." + +The painter smiled and nodded. "Yes, I learned that change is something that happens all the time. Even though some changes can be painful, it is important to remember that change is essential and can sometimes be good." + +The painter and her friend smiled at each other and learned an important lesson. +It was a beautiful night and the moon was shining. John and Lucy were playing in the garden, and as they ran around, John stepped on something and stumbled. His face became bright red and he felt embarrassed. + +"Ha ha, look at you!" said Lucy, teasing him. + +John wanted to reply but he couldn't find anything to say. He was too embarrassed. Suddenly, Lucy noticed a graceful bird flying in the sky and she stopped laughing. + +"Look," she said, pointing at the bird with admiration. "It's so graceful!" + +John stared at the bird and felt much better. All of his embarrassment was gone. + +"Let's try and catch it!" said Lucy, happily. + +And together they ran around, trying to catch the graceful bird in the night sky. +One day, little Timmy was standing in the garden, looking up at the sky with his curious eyes. As he gazed, he saw the clouds above him start to change; the sky was beginning to get dark. + +Suddenly, the rain started dropping down. Timmy was so excited and ran around in the rain, laughing and shouting. He splashed around in the puddles and felt all of the raindrops on his face. + +Just as Timmy was about to go inside, he heard a voice calling him. "Timmy, get inside now!" shouted his Mum from the window. Timmy groaned. He was having so much fun and he wasn't ready for the fun to stop just yet. + +He looked back at his Mum, his big eyes full of persuasive pleading. "Can I just have five more minutes, please?" + +"No, Timmy," replied his Mum, "the rain is getting heavier and you shouldn't be out in it. Come inside now!" + +Timmy sadly trudged back inside, still gazing at the rain. He looked out at the garden, aching for the fun he had been having. Eventually, the rain stopped and Timmy was able to go back out and play. +Once upon a time, there was a very small, happy building. Every day, the sun would rise and wake the building.

He lived on a farm with his farmer friends. But one day he wasn't feeling very good. + +His farmer friends were worried, so they called the veterinarian. She came as quickly as she could, and when she arrived she was carrying a big bag of medicine. + +The veterinarian examined Bob, and then she shook her head. + +She said, "I'm sorry but there isn't anything I can do; the medicine won't help. All we can do is shrug and wait and see." + +So they all shrugged their shoulders and waited. But after a few days, Bob started feeling better and better! + +Everyone was so happy, and Bob was feeling much healthier.

I have an idea. Let's go get a waffle!" + +Mary smiled, and they went to buy a waffle. She put a piece on her scrape, and it made her feel a lot better. + +After a few more days of being careful, and putting more waffles on her scrape, Mary's scrape was healed.

I use it to tie things together, like bales of hay." + +The bull was curious. He wondered if he could use the rope to tie himself up, so he said, "Can I tie it around me?" + +The farmer laughed and said, "No, no, no. That would not be a very good idea." + +The bull was disappointed, but he soon forgot about the rope. Weeks later, the bull was in a competition. He realized he needed to tie himself up in order to win. He remembered the rope he saw at the farm and his plan came together. + +Using the rope, the bull managed to tie himself up tightly.

Are you looking for something?" asked the old man. + +"Yes! What are you delivering?" asked Lila. + +"I'm delivering a big bucket full of buckles," he said.

They did not want to share or trade or compromise. They only wanted their own way. + +Their mom had an idea. She took a knife and cut the pizza into four pieces. Then she gave each twin one piece of pepperoni and one piece of mushroom. She said, "This way, you can both try something new and still have what you like. Maybe you will find out that you like both toppings, or maybe you will learn to appreciate each other's tastes. But you have to eat what you get, no more quarreling." + +Lily and Ben looked at their plates. They were not sure if they liked this idea, but they did not want to make their mom angry.

He said Mr. Lee was a fisherman and he used the cooler to store his fish. He said the cooler was very smelly and dirty and not fun at all. + +Tom and Jen felt surprised and embarrassed. They realized they had been wrong. They had been rude and nosy. They had not asked before touching someone else's thing. They said sorry to their dad and to Mr. Lee.

You can still eat your cakes and they will taste good. But next time, remember to use the right size of pan for your batter. That way, your cakes will bake evenly and not fall over or break. And you can still decorate them however you want." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We're sorry. We'll do better next time." They wiped their tears and smiled. They cut their cakes and shared them with mom. They tasted yummy and they were happy. They learned that baking is fun, but they also need to follow some rules. +Sara and Tom are twins.

Sara and Tom are excited. They love animals. They want to see the lions, the monkeys, the elephants and the penguins. + +Mom and Dad say they will have a fun day at the zoo. They say they will also have a healthy lunch. They say they have brought sandwiches, fruits and water. Sara and Tom are happy. They thank Mom and Dad for the surprise. They say they like the subway and the zoo. They hug Mom and Dad and run to the entrance. They can't wait to see the animals. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to swim in the pool. They had a hairy dog named Spot who liked to swim with them. One day, they went to the pool with their mom and dad, but Spot had to stay at home. He was sick and had to take medicine. + +"Can we take Spot with us?" Tom asked. + +"No, sweetie, Spot needs to rest and be patient. He will get better soon," Mom said. + +"But he loves to swim!" Lily said. + +"I know, honey, but swimming is not good for him right now. He might get more sick," Dad said. + +Tom and Lily were sad, but they understood. They said goodbye to Spot and went to the pool. They had fun swimming and playing with their friends. They also met a new friend, a boy named Sam. Sam had a hairy cat named Fluffy who also liked to swim. + +"Can we see your cat?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, he is at my house. Do you want to come with me?" Sam asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. + +They asked their mom and dad if they could go with Sam. Mom and dad said yes, but they had to be back soon. They followed Sam to his house, which was near the pool. They saw Fluffy sitting on the porch. He was a big, fluffy, hairy cat. + +"Wow, he is so hairy!" Tom said. + +"He is the hairiest cat in the world!" Sam said. + +"Does he really swim?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, he does. He loves water. Watch this!" Sam said. + +He picked up Fluffy and threw him into the pool. Fluffy splashed and struggled in the water. He looked scared and angry. He meowed loudly and tried to get out. + +"Stop it! That's not nice!" Tom said. + +"Yeah, that's mean! He doesn't like it!" Lily said. + +They ran to the pool and helped Fluffy out. They dried him with a towel and hugged him. Fluffy purred and licked their faces. He was happy and grateful. + +"Sorry, Fluffy. I was just joking. I didn't mean to hurt you," Sam said. + +He looked ashamed and sorry. He realized he had been cruel to his cat. + +"You should be more patient and kind to your cat. He is your friend, not your toy. He has feelings, too," Tom said. + +"Yes, you should. And you should also ask him if he wants to swim, not force him. Maybe he likes water, but not all the time. Maybe he likes to swim in a different way," Lily said. + +They taught Sam how to play with Fluffy in the water. They showed him how to let Fluffy dip his paws in the water, how to splash him gently, and how to give him treats and praise. Fluffy enjoyed the water more and more. He even swam a little bit with them. He was happy and relaxed. + +"Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are good friends. You taught me how to be a better friend to Fluffy. I'm sorry I was mean to him. I will never do that again," Sam said. + +They forgave Sam and became friends with him. They played with Fluffy and Spot together. They learned that being patient and kind to animals is important and rewarding. They also learned that animals have different personalities and preferences, and that they should respect them. They had fun and learned a lot. They were happy and proud. +Sara liked to swim in the sea. She wore a pink swimsuit and goggles. She saw many fish and shells. She was happy. + +One day, she saw a jellyfish. It was big and blue. It had long tentacles. Sara was curious. She wanted to touch it. She swam closer to the jellyfish. + +The jellyfish did not like Sara. It was angry. It wanted to be alone. It tried to swim away from Sara. But Sara was persistent. She followed the jellyfish. She reached out her hand. + +The jellyfish stung Sara. It hurt a lot. Sara screamed. She felt a sharp pain in her arm. She was scared. She cried. + +Her mom heard Sara. She ran to the water. She saw Sara and the jellyfish. She was worried. She grabbed Sara and pulled her out of the sea. She wrapped a towel around her arm. She took her to the doctor. + +The doctor said Sara had a bad sting. He gave her some medicine. He said she had to rest. He said she should not touch jellyfish. They are dangerous. + +Sara was sad. She learned a hard lesson. She did not swim in the sea for a long time. She did not like jellyfish anymore. +Mia and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball. They kick the ball to each other. They have fun. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog wants the ball. The dog runs to the ball and bites it. The ball pops. Mia and Sam are sad. They cry. + +"Bad dog! Go away!" Mia shouts. She throws a stick at the dog. The dog does not like the stick. The dog barks and chases Mia. Mia is scared. She runs away. + +Sam sees Mia run. He wants to help her. He picks up a rock. He throws the rock at the dog. The rock hits the dog's leg. The dog yelps and stops. The dog limps away. + +Mia stops running. She sees Sam. She runs to him. She hugs him. "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. You are sweet." She says. + +Sam hugs her back. "You are welcome, Mia. You are a good friend too. You are sweet." He says. + +They smile. They walk home. They hold hands. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the yard when they saw a big truck stop in front of their house. The truck had a lot of packages on it. A man came out of the truck and took a package from the back. He walked to the door and rang the bell. + +"Who is it?" Mom asked from inside. + +"It's the mailman. I have a package for you," the man said. + +Mom opened the door and smiled. She took the package from the man and thanked him. She closed the door and looked at the package. It was very big and had a sticker that said "Fragile". + +"What is it, Mom?" Ben asked, running to the door. + +"It's a surprise, Ben. Let's go to the living room and open it together," Mom said. + +Lily followed them, curious about the package. Mom put the package on the floor and cut the tape with scissors. She opened the box and took out a smaller box. It was wrapped in colorful paper and had a bow on top. + +"It's a present for you, Ben and Lily. It's from your grandma and grandpa. They sent it for your birthday," Mom said. + +"Wow! Thank you, Mom. Thank you, grandma and grandpa," Ben and Lily said. + +They hugged Mom and then tore the paper off the smaller box. Inside, they found two beautiful dolls. One was a boy and one was a girl. They had soft hair, shiny eyes and cute clothes. + +"They are so pretty. Can we play with them, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. They are yours. But be careful with them. They are very special," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded and took the dolls out of the box. They hugged them and gave them names. Ben called his doll Tom and Lily called her doll Anna. They played with them in the yard, making them talk and walk and dance. + +They were having so much fun that they didn't notice the wind getting stronger. The wind blew the hat off Tom's head and carried it away. Ben ran after it, trying to catch it. + +"Tom, don't drop your hat!" Ben shouted. + +But it was too late. The hat flew over the fence and landed on the street. Ben stopped at the fence and looked at the hat. He was sad. + +"Ben, come back. It's okay. We can get another hat for Tom," Lily said. + +She held Anna tight and walked to Ben. She gave him a hug and a kiss. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I know you liked Tom's hat. But he still has you. And you still have him. And we still have each other. And we still have Mom. And we still have grandma and grandpa. And we still have our birthday. And we still have cake. And we still have fun. Right?" Lily said. + +Ben smiled and nodded. He hugged Lily and Anna and Tom. + +"Right. You are right, Lily. You are the best sister ever. And Tom and Anna are the best dolls ever. And Mom and grandma and grandpa are the best family ever. And our birthday is the best day ever. And cake is the best food ever. And fun is the best thing ever. Right?" Ben said. + +Lily smiled and nodded. They held their dolls tight and ran to the house. + +"Right. Let's go, Ben. Let's go have some cake and some fun. And maybe later we can find a new hat for Tom. Or maybe we can make one. Or maybe we can share Anna's hat. Or maybe we can just pretend he has one. Or maybe we can just love him the way he is. Right?" Lily said. + +Ben smiled and nodded. They went inside and joined Mom. They ate cake and sang and laughed and played. They had the best birthday ever. And they didn't drop anything else. +Ben likes to write. He writes on paper, on walls, on his hands. He writes his name, his mom's name, his dog's name. He writes big and small, fast and slow, neat and messy. He writes with pens, pencils, crayons, markers. He writes every day. + +One day, Ben finds a blue band in his mom's drawer. He thinks it is a bracelet. He puts it on his wrist. He likes how it looks. He thinks it will make his writing better. He goes to his room. He takes a marker. He writes on his bed sheet. He writes "Ben is the best". + +Mom comes to his room. She sees the writing on the bed sheet. She is angry. She says "Ben, what did you do? You ruined the bed sheet. And why are you wearing my band? That is not a bracelet. That is a band for my hair. Give it to me." + +Ben is sad. He says "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to write. I thought the band was a bracelet. I thought it would make my writing better. Please don't be mad at me." + +Mom sighs. She says "Ben, I love you, but you can't write on everything. You have to write on paper. And you have to ask before you take things that are not yours. The band is not a bracelet. It is a band for my hair. It helps me keep my hair tidy. Do you understand?" + +Ben nods. He says "I understand, Mom. I'm sorry. Can I keep the band, please? I like how it looks. I won't write on anything else." + +Mom smiles. She says "OK, Ben. You can keep the band. But only if you promise to write on paper. And only if you help me wash the bed sheet. Deal?" + +Ben smiles. He says "Deal, Mom. Thank you. I love you." + +Mom hugs him. She says "I love you too, Ben. Now let's go wash the bed sheet. And then you can write on paper. Maybe you can write a story. A story about a boy and a band." +Tom and Lily liked to play with blocks. They made big buildings with windows and doors and roofs. They were proud of their buildings and showed them to their mom and dad. + +One day, they went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and a swing and a sandbox. They wanted to play with everything. They ran to the slide and took turns sliding down. They laughed and had fun. + +Then they saw a boy in the sandbox. He had a lot of blocks and he was making a building too. It was bigger and better than their buildings at home. Tom and Lily wanted to see it. They walked to the sandbox and said hello to the boy. + +"Hi, I'm Tom and this is Lily. What's your name?" Tom asked. + +"I'm Ben. This is my building. Do you like it?" Ben said. + +"Yes, it's very nice. Can we play with you?" Lily asked. + +"No, you can't. This is my building and my blocks. Go away!" Ben said. He was not nice. He was mean. + +Tom and Lily felt sad and angry. They did not like Ben. They wanted to make him feel bad too. They looked at each other and had a bad idea. They waited until Ben was not looking and then they ran to his building. They kicked it and pushed it and broke it. They made a big mess. They heard Ben cry. + +"Hey, what are you doing? Stop it! You ruined my building!" Ben shouted. + +Tom and Lily ran away. They thought they would feel happy, but they did not. They felt ashamed. They knew they did a bad thing. They hurt Ben and his building. They wished they could say sorry, but they were too scared. + +Their mom saw them and knew something was wrong. She asked them what happened. They told her the truth. She was not happy. She was angry and disappointed. She made them go back to the sandbox and apologize to Ben. She made them help him fix his building. She made them share their blocks and play nicely. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They learned that being mean is not fun. They learned that breaking things is not nice. They learned that saying sorry is hard, but important. They learned that making friends is better than making enemies. They learned that they should not release their anger on others. They learned that they should not be ashamed of their own buildings. They learned that they should be kind and respectful. They learned that they should play with blocks and not with feelings. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big red ball, a yellow bucket and a green pipe. The pipe was very long and had holes in it. Tom and Lily liked to blow into the pipe and make funny noises. + +One day, they decided to play a trick on their dad, who was working in his shed. They hid behind a bush and waited for him to come out. When they saw him, they blew into the pipe as hard as they could. The pipe made a loud whistle that scared their dad. He jumped and dropped his hammer. Tom and Lily laughed and laughed. They thought it was brilliant. + +But their dad was not happy. He was angry and hurt. He had hit his toe with the hammer. He limped towards the bush and saw Tom and Lily with the pipe. He took the pipe from them and said, "This is not a toy. This is a pipe for watering the plants. You could have broken it or hurt yourselves. And you scared me and made me drop my hammer. That was not nice. That was naughty." + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They did not mean to hurt their dad or break the pipe. They just wanted to have fun. They said they were sorry and gave their dad a hug. Their dad hugged them back and said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But don't do it again. And be careful with the pipe. It's not a toy." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said they would. They helped their dad fix the pipe and water the plants. Then they played with their ball and bucket instead. They still laughed, but not at their dad. They laughed with him. They learned their lesson. The pipe was not a toy. It was a tool. And tricks were not always brilliant. They could be mean. +Tom and Lily were playing with a baseball in the park. They liked to bounce the ball and catch it. Sometimes they threw the ball to each other. + +"Look, Lily, I can bounce the ball very high!" Tom said. He bounced the ball with all his might. The ball went up, up, up in the air. + +But the ball did not come down. It got stuck in a big tree. Tom and Lily could not reach it. + +"Oh no, Tom, our ball is gone!" Lily said. She was sad. She liked the ball. It was a rare ball. It had red and blue stripes. + +"Maybe we can get it back," Tom said. He had an idea. He saw a stick on the ground. He picked it up. He tried to poke the ball with the stick. But the stick was too short. + +"Can I help you?" a voice said. Tom and Lily turned around. They saw a man. He was tall and kind. He had a ladder. + +"Yes, please," Tom and Lily said. "Our ball is in the tree. It is a rare ball. We want it back." + +The man smiled. He put the ladder against the tree. He climbed up. He reached the ball. He tossed it down to Tom and Lily. + +"Here you go, kids. Be careful with your rare ball," he said. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Tom and Lily said. They hugged the ball. They were happy. They bounced the ball and played again. +True was a dog who liked to play with his friends. He had a ball, a bone, and a rope that he could share with them. Sometimes, he would go to the park with his owner and meet other dogs there. + +One day, he saw a new dog at the park. She was brown and white, and had a long tail. She looked friendly, but True was shy. He did not know how to say hello to her. + +His owner saw him looking at the new dog and said, "Why don't you go and wave to her, True? Maybe she wants to play with you." + +True did not know what "wave" meant. He thought it was something to do with water. He looked around and saw a fountain. He ran to the fountain and jumped in. He splashed the water with his paws and barked. He thought he was waving. + +The new dog saw him and laughed. She ran to the fountain and joined him. She splashed him back and wagged her tail. She said, "Hi, I'm Spot. What's your name?" + +True was happy. He liked Spot. He said, "I'm True. Do you want to play with my ball?" + +Spot nodded. She said, "Yes, I do. You are fun. You have a funny way of waving." + +True and Spot ran out of the fountain and played with the ball. They had a mild day. They did not get too hot or too cold. They became good friends. True learned how to wave with his paw. He was not shy anymore. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Anna sees a new book on Ben's shelf. It has many pictures of animals and colors. + +"Can I borrow your book, Ben?" Anna asks. "It looks very nice." + +Ben is thoughtful. He likes his book, but he also likes Anna. He remembers that Anna shared her crayons with him yesterday. + +"Okay, you can borrow my book," Ben says. "But you have to be careful with it. And you have to give it back to me tomorrow." + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind," Anna says. She takes the book and hugs Ben. Then she goes to her house to look at the book. + +The next day, Anna comes back with the book. She is smiling. + +"Did you like the book, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, I liked it very much. It has many fun things to learn. Thank you for letting me borrow it," Anna says. + +She gives the book back to Ben. Then she says, "I have something for you, too." + +She takes out a drawing from her bag. It is a drawing of Ben and Anna with the book and some animals. + +"I made this for you, Ben. It is my opinion of the book. Do you like it?" Anna asks. + +Ben looks at the drawing. He sees himself and Anna smiling. He sees the book and the animals. He likes the drawing very much. + +"I like it very much, Anna. It is very pretty and nice. Thank you for making it for me," Ben says. + +He takes the drawing and hugs Anna. Then they go to play with the book and the toys. They are happy. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a man in a suit. He was talking on a phone. He looked busy and angry. + +"Who is he?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is a boss or a teacher," Ben said. + +"Can we ask him?" Lily said. She liked to question people. + +"No, he is too busy. He might get mad at us," Ben said. + +But Lily was curious. She ran to the man and tugged his suit. + +"Hello, mister. What are you doing?" she asked. + +The man looked down at Lily. He was surprised and annoyed. + +"Go away, kid. I'm working. Don't bother me," he said. + +He tried to shake Lily off, but she held on. + +"Why are you working? Why are you angry? Why do you wear a suit?" she asked. + +The man sighed. He put his phone away. + +"Look, kid. I'm working because I have to. I'm angry because I have a lot of problems. I wear a suit because it's my job," he said. + +Lily frowned. She did not understand. + +"That sounds boring. Why don't you play? Playing is fun. You can be happy," she said. + +The man looked at Lily. He saw her lively eyes and smile. He felt something in his heart. + +"Play? I haven't played in a long time. What do you play?" he asked. + +Lily grinned. She let go of his suit. + +"Come on, mister. I'll show you. We can play tag, or hide and seek, or hopscotch," she said. + +She took his hand and pulled him to the playground. Ben followed them. + +The man felt strange. He felt like a child again. He forgot his problems and his phone. He played with Lily and Ben. He laughed and ran and jumped. + +He felt happy. He thanked Lily for her question. He learned something new. He learned to play. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play outside. But today, it is raining. The sky is gray and the water falls from the clouds. Tom and Sue are sad. They cannot go to the park or ride their bikes. + +"Let's make a tent!" Tom says. He has an idea. He runs to the garage and finds some lumber. Lumber is wood that people use to build things. Tom brings the lumber to the backyard. Sue helps him. They put the lumber on the grass and cover it with a big sheet. They make a tent. + +"Look, we have a tent!" Sue says. She is happy. She and Tom crawl inside the tent. They have some toys and books. They play and read. They have fun. + +"Hello, children!" a voice says. It is Grandma. Grandma is elderly. She is old and kind. She lives next door. She sees the tent and smiles. She walks to the tent and peeks inside. "What are you doing?" she asks. + +"We are playing in our tent!" Tom says. "It is raining, so we cannot play outside." + +"That's very clever!" Grandma says. "Can I join you?" + +"Yes, please!" Sue says. She and Tom make some room for Grandma. Grandma crawls inside the tent. She brings some cookies and milk. She shares them with Tom and Sue. They eat and talk. They tell stories and jokes. They laugh. + +The rain keeps falling, but Tom and Sue are not sad anymore. They have a tent, some toys, some books, some cookies, some milk, and Grandma. They have everything they need. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together and share their toys. But they do not like the same cereal. Lily likes the cereal with stars and moons. Ben likes the cereal with flakes and nuts. Every morning, they fight over the cereal box. + +One day, their mom has an idea. She says, "Why don't you try to unite your cereals? Maybe you will like the new taste. You are both intelligent, you can find a way to mix them." + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They think mom's idea is silly. But they are curious. They decide to try it. They pour some of each cereal in a big bowl. They stir it with a spoon. They add some milk. They take a bite. + +"Mmm, this is good!" Lily says. + +"I like it too!" Ben says. + +They smile at each other. They realize they can like different things and still get along. They thank mom for her idea. They finish their bowl and ask for more. They unite their cereals every morning and enjoy their breakfast. They are happy twins. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their drums. They bang on them with sticks and make loud noises. They try to follow the rhythm of the songs they hear on the radio. + +One day, their mom brings home a new toy. It is a big microscope. She says it can examine tiny things that are too small to see. She shows them how to use it. She puts a slide with a drop of water under the lens and turns on the light. + +"Look, boys, can you see the little creatures swimming in the water?" she asks. + +Tim and Sam take turns to look through the microscope. They are amazed by what they see. They see round things, long things, and spiky things. They see things with tails, things with legs, and things with eyes. + +"Wow, mom, what are they?" Tim asks. + +"They are called microbes. They are living things, just like us, but very, very small. They have different shapes and colors and behaviors. Some of them are good for us, and some of them are bad for us. That's why we have to wash our hands and keep clean," mom explains. + +Tim and Sam nod. They want to learn more about the microbes. They ask mom to show them more slides. They examine them with curiosity and wonder. They forget about their drums for a while. They are alert and attentive to the new toy and the new world it reveals. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toy cars. They had a big box of cars of different colors and sizes. They also had a small can of fuel that their dad gave them. The fuel was for making the cars go faster and louder. + +One day, they decided to have a race with their cars. They chose a long and smooth road in the backyard. They poured some fuel on their cars and set them on the road. Then they counted to three and pushed their cars as hard as they could. + +"Vroom, vroom!" they shouted as their cars zoomed along the road. Tim's car was red and Sam's car was blue. They were both very fast and noisy. They watched their cars with excitement and cheered for them. + +But then, something happened. The road had a big puddle of water at the end. The cars did not see the puddle and drove right into it. Splash! The water splashed all over the cars and the boys. The fuel mixed with the water and made a lot of bubbles and smoke. + +"Oh no!" Tim and Sam cried. They ran to the puddle and tried to get their cars out. But the cars were wet and dirty and did not work anymore. The boys were sad and angry. They looked at each other and blamed each other. + +"It's your fault!" Tim said. "You poured too much fuel on your car!" + +"No, it's your fault!" Sam said. "You pushed your car too hard!" + +They started to argue and fight. They pushed and pulled and shouted. They did not have fun anymore. + +Then, they heard a voice. It was their mom. She had seen and heard everything. She came to the puddle and looked at the boys and the cars. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting?" + +Tim and Sam stopped fighting and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. They did not know what to say. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She picked up the cars and the can of fuel. She said, "You boys were not careful and thoughtful. You wasted the fuel and ruined the cars. You also hurt each other and made a mess. You need to learn to share and play nicely." + +She took the boys and the cars inside the house. She cleaned them and dried them. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She said, "I love you, but you need to say sorry to each other and to dad. He will be sad to see his cars broken." + +Tim and Sam looked at each other. They felt bad and sorry. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, dad. We're sorry, brother." + +They hugged each other and mom. They promised to be more careful and thoughtful next time. They learned their lesson. They hoped their dad could fix their cars. They still liked to play with their cars, but they also liked to play with each other. +Lily was a little girl who liked to draw. She had many colors and papers to make pictures. She drew flowers, animals, houses, and stars. She was happy when she drew. + +One day, she saw a big book on the shelf. It had many pictures of different places and people. She wanted to look at the book, but it was too high for her. She tried to reach it, but she was too short. She sighed. She wished she was taller. + +She saw a chair near the shelf. She had an idea. She pushed the chair to the shelf and climbed on it. She stretched her arm and touched the book. She smiled. She pulled the book and put it on the chair. She got down and opened the book. She saw many beautiful and strange things. She was amazed. + +She heard a voice behind her. It was her mom. "Lily, what are you doing?" her mom asked. She looked at Lily and the book. She was surprised. + +Lily turned around and saw her mom. She was scared. She thought she did something bad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to see the book. It has many pictures. They are not ordinary. They are different and nice." + +Her mom smiled. She was not angry. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you like the book. It is a special book. It has pictures of different countries and cultures. They are not ordinary, but they are also nice. Do you want to learn more about them?" + +Lily nodded. She was curious. She said, "Yes, mom. I want to learn more. Can you read the book to me?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. Come, let's sit on the couch. I'll read the book to you and tell you stories. Maybe one day, we can visit some of these places together." + +Lily was happy. She hugged her mom and the book. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my special girl. You have a big imagination and a big heart. You can do anything you want, even if you are only an inch tall." +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers that were blooming in different colors. Lily wanted to pick some flowers to give to her mom. Ben said, "No, Lily, that is not nice. The flowers are not ours. They belong to the garden. If we pick them, they will die and the garden will be sad." + +But Lily did not listen to Ben. She thought the flowers were cheap and easy to get. She picked many flowers and put them in a basket. She ran to her mom and said, "Look, mom, I have a surprise for you. I picked these flowers for you. They are so pretty and they smell good. Do you like them?" + +Her mom looked at the flowers and frowned. She said, "Lily, where did you get these flowers? Did you ask permission from the garden owner? These flowers are not cheap. They are very precious. They need water and sun and care to grow and bloom. They are a reward for the garden owner's hard work. You should not take them without asking. That is stealing and that is wrong." + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not know. I just wanted to make you happy. I thought the flowers were cheap and nobody wanted them. I did not mean to steal." + +Her mom said, "I know you wanted to make me happy, but you made a mistake. You should always respect other people's things and ask before you take. That is the right thing to do. Now you have to go back to the garden and apologize to the garden owner. You have to give back the flowers and say you are sorry. Maybe he will forgive you and let you help him in the garden. That is how you can learn to appreciate the flowers and their beauty." + +Lily nodded and took the basket. She went back to the garden with Ben. But when they got there, they saw that the garden owner was very angry. He had seen Lily picking his flowers and he was very upset. He said, "How dare you, you little thief! You have ruined my garden! You have taken my flowers that I worked so hard to grow and bloom! You have no respect and no manners! You have to pay for what you did! You have to give me money or I will call the police!" + +Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They did not have any money. They said, "We are sorry, sir. We did not know. We made a mistake. Please forgive us. We will give you back the flowers and we will help you in the garden. Please don't call the police." + +But the garden owner did not listen to them. He said, "No, that is not enough. You have to pay for the damage you caused. You have to learn your lesson. You have to go to jail!" + +He grabbed Lily and Ben and dragged them to his car. He locked them in the trunk and drove away. He was going to take them to the police station and make them pay for their crime. + +Lily and Ben cried and screamed. They wished they had listened to Ben and not picked the flowers. They wished they had not been greedy and selfish. They wished they had not thought the flowers were cheap and worthless. They wished they had respected the garden and the garden owner. They wished they had done the right thing. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take what is not yours. Respect other people's things and ask before you take. Appreciate the beauty and value of nature. Do not be greedy and selfish. Do the right thing. +Sara and Ben were playing with clay. They wanted to make pots for their mom and dad. Sara rolled a big ball of clay and put it on the table. She used her hands to make a hole in the middle. She was making a pot. + +Ben saw Sara's pot and wanted to make one too. He took some clay from the box and rolled it into a ball. But his ball was much bigger than Sara's. He put it on the table and pushed his hands into it. He was making an enormous pot. + +"Wow, Ben, your pot is so big!" Sara said. "How will you finish it?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "But I want to make the biggest pot ever!" + +Sara looked at her pot and felt sad. Her pot was small and boring. She wanted to make a bigger pot too. She reached for more clay, but Ben stopped her. + +"No, Sara, that's my clay!" Ben said. "You can't have it!" + +"But I need more clay too!" Sara said. "You have too much!" + +They started to argue and pull the clay from each other. They were not playing nicely. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the clay on the table and the floor, and the two pots. One was small and neat, and the other was enormous and messy. + +"What are you doing, Sara and Ben?" Mom asked. "Why are you fighting?" + +"Sara wants to take my clay!" Ben said. + +"Ben won't share his clay!" Sara said. + +Mom shook her head and sighed. She picked up the pots and showed them to the children. + +"Look, Sara and Ben, you both made pots for me and dad. They are both beautiful and special. But you don't need to make them so big or so small. You just need to make them with love and care. And you need to share and help each other. That's what makes a good pot and a good friend." + +Sara and Ben looked at their pots and then at each other. They felt sorry for being mean and greedy. They hugged Mom and said sorry. + +"Can we still give you the pots?" Sara asked. + +"Of course, my loves," Mom said. "They are the best pots ever. But next time, please play nicely and clean up the mess." + +Sara and Ben nodded and smiled. They learned a lesson and made up. They were happy and proud of their pots. +Mia and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide, and run. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they saw a big truck in the park. It had a lot of boxes and bags. Mia and Sam were excited. They wanted to see what was in the truck. They ran to the truck and looked inside. + +They saw a lot of toys and books and clothes. They were for the children who did not have a lot of things. Mia and Sam wanted to help. They asked the man who drove the truck if they could help. The man said yes. He gave them a box and a bag each. He told them to put them on the bench near the tree. + +Mia and Sam were happy. They carried the box and the bag to the bench. They saw a lot of other boxes and bags on the bench. They put their box and bag next to them. They felt good. They wanted to help more. + +They ran back to the truck and asked the man for more boxes and bags. The man smiled. He gave them more boxes and bags. Mia and Sam carried them to the bench. They did this many times. They worked hard. + +The man was proud of Mia and Sam. He thanked them for their help. He told them they were very kind and generous. He gave them a hug and a sticker each. He said he had to go now. He said goodbye to Mia and Sam. + +Mia and Sam waved to the man. They watched the truck drive away. They felt tired but happy. They had done a good thing. They walked to the bench and sat down. They looked at their stickers. They smiled at each other. They were best friends. +Lila and Tom were friends who lived in a hut near the forest. They liked to play and explore together, but they also had to supply food and water for their hut. One day, they found a big basket of apples in the forest. They were very happy and decided to take it to their hut. + +But on the way, they met a big bear. The bear was hungry and angry. He saw the basket of apples and wanted to eat them. He roared at Lila and Tom and tried to take the basket from them. + +"Please, Mr. Bear, don't take our apples!" Lila said. "We need them for our hut. We have no other food. We will be hungry and sad." + +"I don't care!" the bear said. "I want the apples. They are mine. Go away!" + +Tom was scared, but he was also brave. He had an idea. He whispered to Lila and then said to the bear: "OK, Mr. Bear, you can have the apples. But we have something better for you. We have a big jar of honey in our hut. It is very sweet and yummy. You will like it more than the apples. Follow us and we will show you." + +The bear was curious and greedy. He liked honey more than apples. He agreed to follow Lila and Tom to their hut. He left the basket of apples with them and walked behind them. + +But when they reached the hut, Lila and Tom ran inside and locked the door. The bear saw that the hut was empty. There was no jar of honey. There was nothing. He had been tricked. He was very angry and tried to break the door, but he could not. He roared and stomped, but he could not get in. + +Lila and Tom were safe inside the hut. They had their basket of apples and their water. They were happy and proud. They had outsmarted the bear. They learned that sometimes you have to be clever and brave to protect what you have. They also learned that sharing is better than being greedy. They decided to save some apples for their other friends in the forest. They ate some apples and thanked each other for being good friends. They lived happily in their hut. +Tom and Jen were friends. They liked to play in the park and eat ice cream. One day, Tom said he had something to tell Jen. He said he had a new wife. + +"Who is your wife?" Jen asked. + +"Her name is Sue. She is very nice. Do you want to meet her?" Tom said. + +Jen was sad. She liked Tom and wanted to be his wife. But she said yes, because she was a good friend. + +They went to Tom's house. Sue was there. She was dull. She did not smile or talk. She only watched TV. Tom introduced Jen to Sue. + +"Hello, Sue. I am Jen. I am Tom's friend," Jen said. + +"Hi," Sue said. She did not look at Jen. + +Tom and Sue sat on the couch. They watched TV. Jen sat on the floor. She felt lonely. + +"Can we play?" Jen asked. + +"Maybe later," Tom said. + +Jen waited. She waited a long time. Tom and Sue did not play. They did not talk. They did not look at Jen. + +Jen was bored. She was angry. She was hurt. She decided to leave. + +"Bye, Tom. Bye, Sue," Jen said. + +"Bye," Tom said. He did not look at Jen. + +Sue did not say anything. + +Jen left. She walked to the park. She cried. She did not want to be Tom's friend anymore. She did not like his new wife. She wished he never met her. She wished he loved her. +Ben and Lily went to the farm with their mom. They wanted to see the animals and play with them. Mom said they could observe the animals, but not touch them or scare them. + +They saw cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. They also saw a big horse in a fence. Ben liked the horse. He wanted to pet it and ride it. Lily was nervous. She said the horse was too big and too fast. She stayed with mom. + +Ben ran to the fence and climbed over it. He called the horse and tried to touch its mane. The horse did not like Ben. It was nervous too. It kicked Ben with its hoof and ran away. Ben fell to the ground and cried. He was hurt and scared. + +Mom and Lily heard Ben cry. They ran to him and saw the blood on his leg. Mom was angry and sad. She called for help and took Ben to the car. She said they had to go to the hospital. She said Ben was foolish and did not listen. She said he should respect the animals and not bother them. + +Lily hugged Ben and said she was sorry. She said she hoped he would be okay. She said she learned a lesson. She said she would always observe the animals, but not touch them or scare them. She said she would be careful and smart. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big black bird on a tree. The bird has a long wing and a sharp beak. + +"Look, a crow!" Lily says. + +"Can we touch it?" Tom asks. + +They run to the tree and try to climb it. The crow sees them and makes a loud noise. It flaps its wing and flies away. + +Lily and Tom are sad. They want to see the crow up close. They look for another tree with a crow. + +They find one near the pond. The crow is sitting on a branch over the water. Lily and Tom are careful. They do not want to scare the crow. + +They climb the tree slowly. They get closer to the crow. The crow does not move. It looks at them with its shiny eyes. + +"Hello, crow," Lily says softly. + +"Can we be your friends?" Tom asks. + +The crow does not answer. It tilts its head and opens its beak. + +Suddenly, Lily feels something wet on her foot. She looks down and sees a fish. The fish jumps out of the water and splashes her. + +Lily screams and lets go of the branch. She slips and falls into the pond. + +Tom is scared. He tries to help Lily. He reaches for her hand. But he slips too and falls into the pond. + +The crow laughs and flies away. It thinks Lily and Tom are silly. + +Lily and Tom are wet and cold. They swim to the shore. They are not happy. They do not like the crow. + +They go back to their mom. She gives them a towel and a hug. She tells them not to chase the crows. + +Lily and Tom nod. They learned their lesson. They do not want to slip and fall again. They decide to play with the ducks instead. The ducks are nice and friendly. They do not have long wings or sharp beaks. They do not laugh at Lily and Tom. They share their bread and quack happily. Lily and Tom smile and have fun. They forget about the crow. +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two silver buttons for eyes. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Tom said. "Do you like the snow?" + +The snowman did not say anything. He just smiled with his carrot nose. + +Lily touched the snowman's scarf. "It is very soft," she said. "But I think he is cold. Look, he is shivering!" + +Tom saw the snowman's silver buttons shaking. He felt sorry for the snowman. "Maybe we can give him a hug," he said. "That will make him warm." + +Tom and Lily hugged the snowman. They felt his cold snow on their cheeks. They hoped he would stop shivering. + +But then they heard a voice. It was big and deep. It came from the snowman. + +"Thank you, Tom and Lily," the voice said. "You are very kind. But I like the snow. It is my home. I am not shivering because I am cold. I am shivering because I am happy." + +Tom and Lily were surprised. They looked at the snowman's face. He was still smiling with his carrot nose. + +They smiled back at him. They were happy too. They had made a new friend. +One day, a little girl named Anna went to visit her elderly grandma, who lived on a farm. Anna loved to see the animals, especially the horses. She wanted to feed them some oats, but her grandma said she had to wait until after lunch. + +"Please, grandma, can I feed them now?" Anna asked. + +"No, dear, you have to eat first. The horses can wait. They have plenty of hay and water," her grandma said. + +Anna was not happy. She wanted to feed the horses right away. She saw a big bag of oats in the barn. She thought her grandma would not notice if she took some. She sneaked into the barn and grabbed a handful of oats. She ran to the fence where the horses were. + +"Here, horsey, have some oats," she said, holding out her hand. + +The horses saw the oats and came closer. They sniffed Anna's hand and licked the oats. Anna giggled. She felt brave and happy. She wanted to feed more oats to the horses. She went back to the barn and took another handful. + +But she did not see that one of the horses followed her. The horse was curious and hungry. It wanted more oats. It pushed the barn door open with its nose and walked inside. It saw the big bag of oats and started to eat. + +Anna heard a loud noise. She turned around and saw the horse in the barn. She was scared. The horse was big and strong. It could hurt her or the bag of oats. She dropped the oats and ran out of the barn. + +"Grandma, grandma, help!" she cried. + +Her grandma heard her and came out of the house. She saw the horse in the barn and Anna outside. She understood what happened. She was angry and worried. + +"Anna, what have you done? You should not have taken the oats without asking. You could have been hurt by the horse. And you wasted the oats. They are not cheap. They are for the winter. How could you be so naughty?" she scolded. + +Anna felt sorry and ashamed. She knew she had done wrong. She had not listened to her grandma. She had put herself and the oats in danger. She had made her grandma upset. + +"I'm sorry, grandma. I just wanted to feed the horses. I did not mean to cause trouble. Please forgive me," she said. + +Her grandma sighed. She loved Anna, but she also wanted to teach her a lesson. She decided to make her help clean up the mess and do some chores. + +"Come on, Anna. You have to help me get the horse out of the barn and put the oats back in the bag. Then you have to help me with the dishes and the laundry. Maybe then you will learn to be more careful and respectful," she said. + +Anna nodded. She followed her grandma to the barn. She hoped the horse would not be angry with her. She hoped her grandma would not be angry with her for too long. She learned that it was better to obey and wait than to sneak and hurry. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to watch movies with Mom and Dad. Today, they are watching a movie about animals. They see lions, elephants, monkeys and more. + +Tom and Lily notice something on the TV. It is a big snake. The snake is green and black. It has a long tongue. It looks scary. Tom and Lily are afraid of the snake. They hide behind the sofa. + +Mom and Dad see Tom and Lily hiding. They pause the movie. They go to the sofa and hug Tom and Lily. They say, "Don't be afraid. It is just a movie. The snake is not real. It cannot hurt you. You are safe with us." + +Tom and Lily feel better. They come out from behind the sofa. They ask Mom and Dad to play with them. They forget about the snake. They have fun with Mom and Dad. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but they also liked to share with each other. One evening, they decided to play with their drums. They made loud noises and had fun. + +But then, Lily saw that Tom had a bigger drum than hers. She wanted to play with it, too. She asked Tom to swap drums with her, but Tom said no. He liked his drum and did not want to give it up. Lily got angry and said that Tom was selfish. She tried to grab his drum, but Tom held on tight. + +They started to fight over the drum, pulling and pushing and shouting. Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting and was not happy. She told them to stop and to share their toys. She said that being selfish was not nice and that they should be kind to each other. + +Lily and Tom felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They agreed to swap drums and to take turns. They played with their drums again, but this time, they also clapped their hands and sang songs. They had more fun and made their mom smile. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Tom brings a new toy to Sam's house. It is a jeep. It is big and red and has four wheels. Tom thinks it is the best toy ever. + +"Look at my jeep!" Tom says to Sam. "It can go fast and make noise. Do you want to play with it?" + +Sam looks at the jeep. He thinks it is nice, but he likes his own toys better. He has a train and a plane and a ball. He does not want to play with the jeep. + +"No, thank you," Sam says to Tom. "I want to play with my train. It can go on the tracks and whistle. It is more fun than your jeep." + +Tom feels angry. He thinks Sam is rude and mean. He does not want to be friends with him anymore. He wants to make Sam sorry. + +"Fine," Tom says to Sam. "But you will see. My jeep is better than your train. I will show you how fast and loud it can go. Watch this!" + +Tom takes his jeep and drives it around the room. He makes it go on the couch, on the table, on the floor. He makes it honk and roar. He thinks he is successful. He thinks he is making Sam jealous. + +But he is not. Sam does not care about the jeep. He plays with his train and his plane and his ball. He has fun by himself. He does not look at Tom or his jeep. + +Tom gets bored. He wants Sam to pay attention to him. He wants Sam to want his jeep. He has an idea. He drives his jeep towards Sam's train. He thinks he will make Sam angry. He thinks he will make Sam play with him. + +But he does not. He makes a big mistake. He crashes his jeep into Sam's train. He breaks both toys. He makes a loud noise. He makes a big mess. + +Sam and Tom both cry. They are sad and sorry. They wish they did not break their toys. They wish they did not fight. They wish they were still friends. + +But they are not. Sam's mom and Tom's mom come to the room. They see the broken toys and the crying boys. They are angry and disappointed. They scold Tom and Sam. They take them away from each other. They say they cannot play together anymore. + +Tom and Sam have a bad ending. They lose their toys and their friend. They learn a hard lesson. They should have been nice and shared. They should have played together and had fun. They should have used better words than "jeep" and "train". +Tom likes to help his mom with the mail. Every day, he waits for the mailman to come and give them a big pile of letters. Some letters are regular, with white paper and black words. Some letters are special, with colorful paper and stickers. Tom likes the special letters best. He thinks they are for him. + +One day, Tom sees the mailman coming. He runs to the door and opens it. The mailman smiles and hands him the letters. Tom says thank you and takes them. He sees a special letter on top. It has a red envelope and a shiny star. Tom is very happy. He thinks it is for him. + +He runs to his mom, who is in the kitchen. He wants to show her the special letter. But he is too fast and too excited. He trips on the rug and falls. He drops the letters on the floor. The special letter flies out of his hand and lands under the sofa. + +Tom is sad and hurt. He cries. His mom hears him and comes to help. She picks him up and hugs him. She asks him what happened. Tom tells her he dropped the letters and lost the special one. He points to the sofa. + +His mom looks under the sofa and sees the special letter. She takes it out and gives it to Tom. She tells him to look at the name on the envelope. Tom looks and sees his mom's name. He is confused. He asks his mom why the special letter is for her. + +His mom smiles and opens the letter. She shows him the inside. It has a picture of a cake and a message. It says, "Happy birthday, Mom! We love you! From Dad and Tom." Tom remembers that today is his mom's birthday. He remembers that he and his dad made the letter together. He forgot to give it to his mom in the morning. + +Tom is happy again. He hugs his mom and says, "Happy birthday, Mom! I love you!" His mom hugs him back and says, "Thank you, Tom! I love you too! And thank you for the special letter. It is the best gift ever!" They laugh and kiss. They go to the kitchen and eat some cake. Tom thinks it is a good day. He likes to help his mom with the mail. +Ben likes to count. He counts his toys, his fingers, his toes. He counts the cars on the street, the birds in the sky, the stars at night. He knows all the numbers from one to ten. But he does not know what comes after ten. + +One day, he asks his mom, "Mom, what is after ten?" His mom smiles and says, "After ten, there is eleven, then twelve, then thirteen, and so on. There are many, many numbers, Ben. You can learn them when you are older." + +Ben is curious. He wants to learn more numbers. He asks his mom, "Mom, what is the first number? The one before one?" His mom says, "The first number is zero, Ben. Zero means nothing. There is nothing before one." + +Ben is confused. He does not understand what nothing means. He thinks zero is a funny number. He worries that zero will take away his toys, his fingers, his toes. He worries that zero will make everything disappear. + +He tells his mom, "Mom, I don't like zero. Zero is scary. Zero is bad." His mom hugs him and says, "Don't worry, Ben. Zero is not scary. Zero is not bad. Zero is just a number, like one, two, three. Zero can't take away anything from you. Zero can't make anything disappear. Zero is just a way to say nothing." + +Ben is still not sure. He asks his mom, "Mom, can you show me zero?" His mom nods and says, "Sure, Ben. I can show you zero. Look at this paper. It is blank. There is nothing on it. This is zero." + +Ben looks at the paper. He sees nothing. He touches the paper. He feels nothing. He says, "This is zero?" His mom says, "Yes, Ben. This is zero. Do you see? Zero is not scary. Zero is not bad. Zero is just nothing." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He says, "Okay, Mom. I see. Zero is nothing. Nothing is zero. But I still like one, two, three better. They are something. Something is more fun than nothing." + +His mom laughs and says, "I agree, Ben. Something is more fun than nothing. But sometimes, nothing is useful too. For example, when you want to be quiet, or when you want to rest, or when you want to make room for something new. Nothing can be good too, Ben. You just have to be patient and see." + +Ben nods and says, "Okay, Mom. I will be patient and see. Maybe zero is not so bad after all. Maybe zero is just different. Maybe zero is a friend." + +His mom smiles and says, "That's right, Ben. Zero is a friend. And so are you. You are my number one friend, Ben. I love you very much." + +Ben smiles and says, "I love you too, Mom. You are my number one mom. And you are very smart. You know all the numbers, even zero." + +His mom kisses him and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very smart too. You know all the numbers, even zero. And you are very brave. You are not afraid to ask questions, even about zero. You are a wonderful son, Ben. And I am very proud of you." +Sam and Mia liked to play golf with their dad. They had a small golf set with plastic clubs and balls. They liked to hit the balls and see how far they could go. Sometimes they made holes in the ground with a stick and tried to get the balls in. + +One day, they decided to build a golf course in their backyard. They used cardboard boxes, rocks, sticks, and toys to make different obstacles and challenges. They made a bridge, a tunnel, a hill, and a pond. They were very proud of their work. + +They invited their dad to play golf with them. He was very happy to see their golf course. He said it was great. He took a club and a ball and got ready to play. He looked at the first hole. It was a bridge over a pond. He had to hit the ball over the water and land it on the other side. + +He swung his club and hit the ball. But he hit it too hard. The ball flew over the bridge and over the fence. It landed in the neighbor's yard. Sam and Mia gasped. Their dad looked worried. + +They heard a loud bark. It was the neighbor's dog. He had seen the ball and ran after it. He grabbed it with his teeth and started to chew it. He made a hole in the ball and it popped. The dog looked confused. He dropped the ball and ran away. + +Sam and Mia and their dad laughed. They said it was okay. They had more balls. They played golf on their golf course and had a lot of fun. They said it was the best golf course ever. +Tom is a big boy who likes to help his dad. Every morning, he goes with his dad to the shop and gets a newspaper for him. The newspaper is thick and has many pages with words and pictures. + +One day, Tom sees a newspaper that is different from the others. It is colorful and has a big picture of a train on the front. Tom loves trains and wants to look at the newspaper. He tries to reach for it, but it is too high on the shelf. + +"Can I have this one, dad?" Tom asks, pointing at the newspaper. + +"No, Tom, that is not a newspaper. That is a magazine. It is for grown-ups who like trains. It is not for you." Dad says. + +"But I like trains too, dad. Please, can I have it?" Tom begs. + +"Sorry, Tom, but no. You can have your own magazine when you are older. Now, let's go and pay for our newspaper." Dad says. + +Tom is sad and angry. He does not understand why he cannot have the magazine. He thinks it is not fair. He wants to see the train and learn more about it. He does not care about the other newspaper. He thinks it is boring and has no fun pictures. + +He decides to do something naughty. When dad is not looking, he grabs the magazine and hides it under his shirt. He hopes dad will not notice. He thinks he is very clever and sneaky. + +But dad is not stupid. He sees what Tom has done. He is not happy. He is very cross. + +"Tom, what have you got under your shirt?" Dad asks. + +Tom does not answer. He tries to act normal. He pretends he does not hear dad. + +"Tom, I know you have the magazine. Give it back to me right now." Dad says. + +Tom still does not answer. He runs away from dad. He thinks he can escape. + +But dad is faster. He catches Tom and takes the magazine from him. He is very angry. + +"Tom, how could you do that? That is stealing. That is very bad. You have to say sorry to the shopkeeper and give the magazine back. You have to learn to respect other people's things. You have to be a good boy." Dad says. + +Tom feels ashamed. He knows he has done wrong. He does not like to see dad so mad. He does not like to make dad sad. + +He says sorry to dad and to the shopkeeper. He gives the magazine back. He promises to never do it again. + +Dad forgives Tom and hugs him. He tells him he loves him. He tells him he can still learn about trains from books and toys. He tells him he can still have fun with the newspaper. + +Tom feels better. He loves dad too. He learns his lesson. He decides to be a good boy. He decides to enjoy the newspaper with dad. He sees that the newspaper has some fun pictures too. He sees a picture of a dog and a cat. He smiles and points at them. + +"Look, dad, a dog and a cat. They are friends. They are cute." Tom says. + +"Yes, they are, Tom. They are very cute. Just like you." Dad says. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big jet that made loud noises and flew fast. Mia had a little jet that was pink and sparkly and had stickers on it. Ben liked his jet more than Mia's jet. + +"Look at my jet, Mia!" Ben said. "It can go zoom, zoom, zoom in the sky! It is so cool and strong!" + +Mia looked at her jet and smiled. "I like my jet, Ben," she said. "It can go twirl, twirl, twirl in the air! It is so pretty and fun!" + +Ben frowned. He did not think Mia's jet was fun. He thought it was silly and boring. He wanted to show Mia that his jet was better. He grabbed Mia's jet and threw it on the floor. + +"Hey, that's not nice, Ben!" Mia cried. "You broke my jet! Give it back to me!" + +Ben laughed. He did not care that he broke Mia's jet. He thought it was funny. He held his jet high and said, "My jet is the best jet! Your jet is the worst jet!" + +Mia felt sad and angry. She did not like Ben anymore. She wanted her jet back. She ran to the couch and grabbed a pillow. She threw the pillow at Ben and hit him in the face. + +"Ow, that hurts, Mia!" Ben shouted. "Why did you do that?" + +Mia said, "You hurt my jet, Ben! You are mean and rude! You remind me of a bully!" + +Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He did not want to be a bully. He wanted to be Mia's friend. He looked at Mia's jet and saw that it was broken. He felt bad for breaking it. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," he said. "I was wrong to break your jet. I was jealous of your jet. It is a nice jet. Can you forgive me?" + +Mia looked at Ben and saw that he was sorry. She felt sorry for hitting him with the pillow. She wanted to be Ben's friend. She nodded and said, "I forgive you, Ben. I'm sorry for hitting you with the pillow. I was angry at you. Can we be friends again?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Yes, we can be friends again. Here, take your jet. I'll help you fix it. Maybe we can play with both jets together. They are both good jets." + +Mia smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. That sounds like fun. I like both jets too. They are both different and special." + +Ben and Mia hugged and made up. They played with their jets happily. They learned to share and respect each other's toys. They reminded each other of good friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they are going to a party. It is Ben's birthday party. Anna is happy. She has a gift for Ben. It is a big red ball. + +They go to Ben's house. There are many children there. They have cake and juice. They play games. Anna and Ben have fun. They laugh and run. + +But then, a boy comes. He is mean. He takes Anna's gift. He says, "This is mine now. You can't have it." He runs away with the ball. + +Anna is sad. She cries. She wants her gift back. She says, "That is not fair. That is Ben's gift. Give it back." + +Ben sees what happens. He is angry. He says, "Hey, stop. That is not your ball. That is Anna's ball. She gave it to me. You are rude. You can't take things that are not yours." + +He runs after the boy. He catches him. He takes the ball back. He says, "Here, Anna. This is your ball. Thank you for the gift. You are a good friend." + +Anna smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend too. I'm sorry that boy was mean. He made me uncomfortable." + +Ben says, "It's okay. He is gone now. He can't bother us anymore. Let's go play with the ball. It is a nice ball. I like it." + +They go play with the ball. They have fun. They forget about the boy. They enjoy the party. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they have a big balloon. It is red and shiny. They want to build something with the balloon. + +"Let's build a house with the balloon," Lily says. "We can use sticks and leaves and rocks." + +"OK," Ben says. "But how do we make the balloon stay in one place?" + +They think for a while. Then, Lily has an idea. + +"I know," she says. "We can tie the balloon to a tree. Then, it will not fly away." + +They find a tree with a low branch. They tie the balloon to the branch with a string. Then, they start to build the house around the balloon. They use sticks and leaves and rocks. They work hard and have fun. + +The weather is mild. It is not too hot or too cold. The sun is bright and the sky is blue. The balloon makes the house look pretty and colorful. + +They finish the house. They are happy and proud. + +"Look at our house," Lily says. "It is the best house ever." + +"Yes, it is," Ben says. "Let's go inside and pretend we live there." + +They crawl inside the house. They sit under the balloon. They pretend they are a family. They talk and laugh and play. They have a good time. They love their balloon house. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with their toys in the garden. Anna has a toy goat that can make noises. Ben has a toy car that can move. + +One day, Anna and Ben are playing with their toys. Anna makes her goat say "baa" and Ben makes his car go fast. They are having fun. + +But then, Ben's car hits Anna's goat. The goat falls and breaks. Anna is sad. She picks up her goat and sees that its leg is loose and its eye is gone. + +"Look what you did!" Anna says to Ben. "You broke my goat!" + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "It was an accident. Maybe we can repair it." + +Ben tries to fix the goat. He puts the leg back and looks for the eye. But he can't find it. He sees a bird flying away with something shiny in its beak. + +"Oh no!" Ben says. "The bird took the eye!" + +Anna is angry. She snatches the goat from Ben. She says, "You are a bad friend! You can't repair my goat! Go away!" + +Ben is sad. He says, "Please, Anna, don't be mad. I didn't mean to hurt your goat. Can we still be friends?" + +But Anna doesn't listen. She runs away with her goat. She leaves Ben alone in the garden. + +Ben cries. He wishes he could make Anna happy again. He wishes he could find the eye. He wishes he had a friend. + +The garden is quiet. Ben is lonely. The end. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a can of tuna in the kitchen. They are hungry and curious. + +"Can we eat this?" Lila asks Tom. + +"I don't know. Let's try." Tom says. He takes a can opener and makes a hole in the can. The tuna smells fishy and wet. + +Lila and Tom take a spoon and scoop some tuna. They put it in their mouths. They make a face. They do not like it. It is salty and mushy. + +"Yuck! This is bad!" Lila says. She spits out the tuna. + +"Me too! This is gross!" Tom says. He spits out the tuna too. + +They look at each other. They have tuna on their lips and teeth. They laugh. They think it is funny. + +"Let's kiss!" Lila says. She thinks it will be fun. + +"Okay!" Tom says. He thinks it will be fun too. + +They lean in and kiss. They close their eyes. They feel something wet and slimy. They open their eyes. They scream. + +A big worm is coming out of the can. It is long and pink and wriggly. It has teeth and eyes. It is angry and hungry. It has bitten their lips. It wants more. + +Lila and Tom run away. They cry. They are hurt and scared. They do not like tuna. They do not like worms. They do not like kissing. They wish they never opened the can. +Anna loves to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has long hair, a pink dress, and a smile. Anna likes to brush Lily's hair and make her talk. + +One day, Anna's brother Ben takes Lily and runs away. He thinks it is funny to make Anna cry. Anna is very sad and angry. She wants Lily back. She looks for another doll to replace Lily, but none of them are as nice. + +She sees Ben's toy car on the floor. It is wide and shiny and has four wheels. Anna has an idea. She is very intelligent. She takes the car and hides it under her bed. Then she goes to find Ben. + +"Ben, Ben, where are you?" she calls. "I have something for you." + +Ben hears Anna and comes out of his room. He sees Anna holding Lily. He wants Lily back. + +"Give me Lily!" he says. "She is mine!" + +"No, she is mine!" Anna says. "But I have a trade for you. You can have this car. It is wide and shiny and has four wheels. You like cars, right?" + +Ben looks at the car. He likes cars. He thinks the car is better than Lily. He agrees to the trade. He gives Lily to Anna and takes the car. + +Anna is very happy. She hugs Lily and kisses her. She does not care about the car. She has her favorite doll back. She thanks Ben and runs to her room. + +Ben is happy too. He plays with the car and makes it zoom. He does not miss Lily. He thinks he made a good trade. + +Anna and Ben are both happy. They learned to share and replace. They are very intelligent. +Bee and Bear were friends. They liked to play in the forest. One day, they found a big tree with a hole. Bee said, "There is honey in the hole. I can smell it. Let's get some." + +Bear nodded. He was hungry. He climbed the tree and reached his paw into the hole. He felt something sticky. He pulled out his paw and licked it. It was honey. He smiled. "Mmm, this is good. I want more." + +Bee flew up to the hole. He saw many bees inside. They were angry. They did not like Bear taking their honey. They buzzed and stung Bear's paw. Bear cried out. "Ow, ow, ow! That hurts. Go away, bees!" + +Bee said, "Sorry, Bear. These are my cousins. They are not nice. They are fast and mean. You should run away." + +But Bear did not run away. He was greedy. He wanted more honey. He stretched his other paw into the hole. He hoped to find more honey. But he found more bees. They stung his other paw. They stung his face. They stung his ears. They stung his nose. Bear screamed. "Help, help, help! Bee, help me!" + +Bee tried to help. He told his cousins to stop. He told Bear to come down. But it was too late. The bees were too many. They were too fast. They were too mean. They chased Bear down the tree. They chased him across the forest. They chased him to the river. They stung him all over. Bear fell into the water. He did not get up. He did not breathe. He did not move. He was gone. + +Bee was sad. He lost his friend. He flew away. He did not want honey anymore. He did not want to play anymore. He learned a lesson. He learned that honey is not worth losing a friend. He learned that greed is bad. He learned that bees are not always nice. He learned that life is not always fair. He wished he could see Bear again. But he could not. The end. +Lily and Ben are youth. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, and slide. They hear birds and dogs. They are glad. + +One day, they see a big tent in the park. They go to the tent. They hear music and claps. They are curious. + +They peek inside the tent. They see a man with a funny hat and a red nose. He is a clown. He makes jokes and tricks. He makes people laugh. + +The clown sees Lily and Ben. He smiles and waves. He says, "Hello, youth! Do you want to join me?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They are excited. They go inside the tent.

They play with their balloons and hats. They hear music and claps. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they decide to play hide and seek in the house. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. + +"Ready or not, here I come!" Anna shouts. She looks for Ben in the living room, the kitchen, and the bathroom. She cannot find him. She thinks he must be in the bedroom. She runs to the bedroom and opens the door. + +She sees a big closet in the corner. She thinks Ben must be hiding in the closet. She walks to the closet and opens it. She sees a lot of clothes, shoes, and toys. She also sees a small dog. The dog is Ben's pet. His name is Spot. He is very obedient and quiet. + +"Ben, are you in here?" Anna asks. She moves the clothes and shoes aside. She does not see Ben. She only sees Spot. Spot wags his tail and licks her face. He is happy to see her. + +"Hi, Spot. Where is Ben?" Anna asks. Spot barks and points his nose to the other side of the closet. Anna looks and sees a small hole in the wall. She thinks Ben must have crawled through the hole. She is curious and follows him. + +She crawls through the hole and finds a secret room. The room is dark and dusty. She sees a lot of old things, like books, pictures, and toys. She also sees Ben. He is sitting on a chair and holding a flashlight. He is smiling. + +"Anna, you found me!" Ben says. He is proud and happy. He shows her the secret room and the old things. He tells her it is their new playroom. + +Anna is surprised and excited. She likes the secret room and the old things. She hugs Ben and says, "You are the best hider ever! This is the best game ever!" + +They decide to play more games in the secret room. They also decide to keep it a secret from their parents. They only tell Spot. Spot is their best friend. He is very obedient and quiet. He follows them to the secret room and plays with them. They have a lot of fun. +Ben and Lily were playing in the snow. They liked to make snowballs and throw them at each other. They also liked to make snowmen and snow angels. They were having a lot of fun. + +"Look, Ben, I found a big number!" Lily said. She pointed to a sign on a fence. The sign had a big number 7 on it. "What does it mean?" + +Ben shrugged. He did not know what the sign meant. He only knew some numbers, like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. He had not learned 7 yet. "Maybe it is the number of the house," he guessed. + +"Let's go and see," Lily said. She ran towards the sign. Ben followed her. They reached the fence and saw a house behind it. The house had a door, a window, and a chimney. Smoke came out of the chimney. It looked warm and cozy. + +"Hello, children," a voice said. Ben and Lily turned around and saw a lady standing by the fence. She had a hat, a scarf, and a coat. She smiled at them. "Are you looking for someone?" + +"No, ma'am," Ben said. "We were just playing in the snow. We saw your number and we wanted to see your house." + +The lady nodded. "That's very nice of you. My name is Mrs. Seven. That's why I have a big number 7 on my fence. It helps people find me." + +"Wow, that's cool!" Lily said. "My name is Lily and this is Ben. We are friends. We live on the same street." + +Mrs. Seven smiled again. "I'm glad to meet you, Lily and Ben. Do you want to come inside and have some hot chocolate? It's very cold outside." + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They liked hot chocolate. They also liked Mrs. Seven. She seemed very kind. They nodded and said, "Yes, please!" + +Mrs. Seven opened the gate and invited them in. They followed her to the door. Before they entered, they saw a big pile of snow in the yard. They had an idea. + +"Can we jump on the snow?" they asked. + +Mrs. Seven laughed. "Of course you can. But be careful, it's very icy. Don't slip and fall." + +Ben and Lily thanked her and ran to the snow. They jumped on it and made it go poof. They laughed and giggled. They had more fun. + +The end. +Tom and Lily like to paint. They have many colors and brushes. They paint on paper and on the wall. Mom does not like when they paint on the wall. She says it is messy and bad. + +One day, Mom makes a pie. It smells good and looks yummy. She puts it on the table and tells Tom and Lily not to touch it. She says it is hot and for later. Then she goes to the store. + +Tom and Lily look at the pie. They want to taste it. They think Mom will not know. They take a fork and a knife. They cut a small piece of the pie. They eat it. It is sweet and warm. They like it. + +They want more pie. They cut another piece. And another. And another. Soon, the pie is gone. They have pie on their mouths and hands. They are full and happy. + +But then they hear Mom. She is back from the store. She sees the pie. She sees Tom and Lily. She is angry. Very angry. She says, "Who ate the pie? Who made this mess? You are naughty and bad!" + +Tom and Lily are scared. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We like pie. We wanted to taste it. We did not mean to make you angry." + +Mom is still angry. She says, "You did not listen to me. You did not wait for later. You did not share. You have to learn. You have to clean. And no more pie for you!" + +Tom and Lily are sad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will listen to you. We will wait for later. We will share. We will clean. And we will paint you a picture to say sorry." + +Mom is still angry. But she is also a little happy. She says, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. I love you. But please, do not paint on the wall. Paint on paper. And do not eat the pie. Eat your lunch. And then we can have some cake." + +Tom and Lily are happy. They say, "We love you, Mom. We will paint on paper. And we will eat our lunch. And then we can have some cake. And we will be good." + +They hug Mom. They clean the table. They paint a picture. They eat their lunch. And they have some cake. And they are good. +Lily and Tom were happy to see their new home. They had a big truck with many boxes. Mom and Dad said they had to unpack the boxes and put their things in their rooms. + +Lily and Tom wanted to help. They each took a small box and carried it to the stairs. But the boxes were heavy and hard to hold. + +"Ow, my muscle hurts!" Lily said. She put the box down and rubbed her arm. + +"Me too!" Tom said. He dropped the box and sat on the floor. + +Mom and Dad came and saw them. They smiled and hugged them. + +"It's OK, Lily and Tom. You don't have to carry the heavy boxes. That's our job. You can help us unpack the light boxes. That's more fun!" Mom said. + +"Really?" Lily and Tom asked. + +"Yes, really. Come on, let's go to your rooms and see what's inside the boxes. Maybe you'll find some surprises!" Dad said. + +Lily and Tom got up and followed Mom and Dad. They were excited to unpack the light boxes and see their new rooms.

He put the lizard in his pocket and went inside. + +Ben showed the lizard his toys and books. He tried to make the lizard fit in his toy car, but it was too big. He tried to make the lizard fit in his shoe, but it was too small. He tried to make the lizard fit in his hat, but it was too tight. + +The lizard did not like Ben. It was scared and angry. It wanted to go back to the garden. It bit Ben's finger with its sharp teeth. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cried. He dropped the lizard and ran to his mom. "Mom, the lizard is bad! It bit me!" + +Mom saw the lizard on the floor. She picked it up gently and took it outside. She put it back in the garden. She hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. The lizard is not bad. It was just scared. You should not try to fit it in things. It needs space and air. Next time, you can watch the lizard from a distance, but do not touch it. OK?" + +Ben nodded. He was sorry too. He learned his lesson. He said, "OK, Mom. I will be nice to the lizard. Bye, lizard. Be happy." He waved to the lizard and went to wash his finger. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had a big mattress that they used as a trampoline. They would jump and bounce and laugh on the mattress, pretending to be acrobats or superheroes. + +One day, their mom said, "I have a surprise for you. We are going to see a real circus show tonight. There will be clowns, animals, and acrobats. You will love it!" Lily and Ben were very excited. They wanted to see the circus show. + +But when they looked outside, they saw that the sky was gloomy and dark. It started to rain very hard. They heard thunder and saw lightning. They felt scared and sad. "Mom, will we still go to the circus show?" they asked. + +Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. The circus show is in a big tent. The rain won't stop us. We will go soon. But first, let's have some hot chocolate and cookies. That will make us feel better." + +Lily and Ben smiled and followed mom to the kitchen. They drank hot chocolate and ate cookies. They felt warm and cozy. They heard the rain stop and saw the sun come out. They saw a rainbow in the sky. They felt happy and hopeful. + +Mom said, "It's time to go. Put on your coats and shoes. Let's go to the circus show." Lily and Ben ran to their room and got ready. They grabbed their favorite stuffed animals and hugged them. They said, "We are going to see the circus show. We are going to have fun." + +They went to the car and drove to the circus show. They saw the big tent and the bright lights. They heard the music and the cheers. They entered the tent and found their seats. They saw the clowns, the animals, and the acrobats. They clapped their hands and shouted, "Wow!" They enjoyed the circus show. + +They saw a man on a rope who did flips and tricks. He was very brave and skilled. He looked like he was flying. Lily and Ben remembered their mattress and their games. They said, "He is like us. He is an acrobat." They applauded him very loud. He smiled and waved at them. They felt proud and happy. They had a wonderful night. +Tim and Kim were very happy. They were going to the farm with Mom and Dad. They liked to see the cows, the pigs, and the horses. They also liked to ride on the tractor and feed the chickens. + +They got in the car and drove for a long time. They sang songs and played games. They looked out the window and saw trees, hills, and fields. They asked Mom and Dad, "Are we there yet?" many times. + +At last, they arrived at the farm. They jumped out of the car and ran to the barn. They saw a big horse with a black mane and a brown coat. He was eating hay and making noises. Tim and Kim wanted to pet him, but Mom and Dad said, "Be careful, he might bite." + +They saw a man with a hat and a whip. He was the farmer. He said, "Hello, kids. Do you want to see the horse?" He smiled and walked to the horse. He used the whip to make a loud sound. The horse lifted his head and looked at the man. He did not bite. + +The farmer said, "This is Duke. He is a good horse, but he is very dull. He does not like to run or jump. He only likes to eat and sleep. Do you want to ride him?" Tim and Kim nodded. They were not afraid. They climbed on the horse's back. The farmer held the whip and the reins. He said, "Let's go, Duke." But Duke did not move. He only snorted. + +Tim and Kim tried to make Duke go. They said, "Giddy up, Duke. Come on, Duke. Please, Duke." But Duke did not listen. He only chewed his hay. Tim and Kim were bored. They said, "This is no fun. We want to see the other animals." They got off the horse and ran to the pig pen. They left Duke and the farmer behind. They hoped the pigs would be more fun. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big puzzle with many pieces. They want to solve the puzzle together. + +But the sun is very hot. It makes them sweat and tired. They look for a place with shade. They see a big tree.

Do you have the corner pieces?" + +"I have two," Tom says. "You have the other two. Let's put them here." + +They start to solve the puzzle. They look for the pieces that match. They work as a team.
