+
+It was the giant birdcage and it was trying to keep the little red bird out. The little red bird said, "Please, let me in! I want to explore what's inside!" 
+
+The giant birdcage thought for a moment, then said, "Okay. I'll let you in, but you must promise to attach yourself to the birdcage so you don't get lost!"

+
+The fish said, "I need help. I'm stuck in this lake. I can't get out of it." 
+
+The little leopard cub stayed for a few more minutes and thought about what he could do for the fish. Then he nodded and said, "I have an idea! I can give you a leaf that's big and strong enough to help you get out of the lake."

+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with red apples. They wanted to pick some apples for their snack.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a big apple up there. Can you reach it?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben tried to jump and stretch his arms, but he was too short. He could not touch the apple.
+
+"No, Lily, I can't. It is too high. Maybe we can find a stick or a ladder," Ben said.
+
+They looked around, but they did not see any stick or ladder. They felt sad. They really wanted the apple. It looked so attractive and yummy.
+
+Then they heard a voice behind them. It was their friend Max. He was taller than them. He had a big smile on his face.
+
+"Hi, Lily and Ben. What are you doing?" Max asked.
+
+"We are trying to get that apple, but we can't. It is too high for us," Lily and Ben said.
+
+Max looked at the apple. He thought he could get it. He wanted to help his friends.
+
+"I can help you. I am taller than you. I can reach the apple. Watch me," Max said.
+
+He walked to the tree and knelt down. He put his hands on the ground and pushed himself up. He stood on his hands and lifted his legs in the air. He looked like a triangle. He was very strong and balanced.
+
+He moved his legs closer to the tree and touched the apple with his feet. He grabbed the apple with his toes and pulled it down. He dropped the apple on the ground and flipped back to his feet. He picked up the apple and gave it to Lily and Ben.
+
+"Here you go. One apple for you. Enjoy," Max said.
+
+Lily and Ben were amazed. They clapped their hands and cheered.
+
+"Wow, Max, you are amazing. You can do a handstand and get the apple with your feet. That is so cool. Thank you so much," Lily and Ben said.
+
+They took the apple and shared it with Max. They bit into the apple and smiled. It was sweet and juicy. They were happy. They had a good snack and a good friend.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Tim wanted to go first, but Sam pushed him and climbed up. Tim was angry and sad.
+
+Sam reached the top of the slide and saw a long stick. He had an idea. He put the stick on the slide and tried to balance on it. He thought he was very clever and brave. He laughed at Tim and said, "Look at me, I can balance on the stick. You can't do that, you are too scared."
+
+But Sam was not careful. The stick was slippery and wobbly. Sam lost his balance and fell off the stick. He slid down the slide and hit his head on the ground. He cried out loud and felt a lot of pain. He had a big bump on his head and a cut on his chin. He was pale and dizzy.
+
+Tim heard Sam's cry and ran to him. He felt sorry for his brother and helped him up. He hugged him and said, "It's okay, Sam. I'm here for you. Don't cry. Let's go home and tell mom. She will make you feel better."
+
+Sam felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he was mean and foolish. He said, "I'm sorry, Tim. I was wrong. I shouldn't have pushed you and laughed at you. You are a good brother. Thank you for helping me."
+
+Tim smiled and said, "You're welcome, Sam. I forgive you. You are my brother and I love you. Come on, let's go home. Maybe mom will make us some beef for dinner. I know you like beef."
+
+Sam nodded and said, "I love you too, Tim. And I love beef. Let's go home together."
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be selfish and rude. Be kind and careful. Love your brother and share with him.

+But then they get tired. They want to take a nap. They look for a place to sleep. They see a bench. It is warm in the sun. They lie down on the bench. They close their eyes. They fall asleep.
+
+They do not see a man. He is bad. He sees Lily and Tom. He wants their toys. He walks to the bench. He takes their toys. He runs away.
+
+Lily and Tom wake up. They look for their toys. They do not see their toys. They are sad. They cry.
+
+"Where are our toys?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Someone took them." Tom says.
+
+They are very sad. They have no toys. They have no fun. They have a bad day.
+Sara liked to draw and paint. She was very creative. She had many colors and shapes in her mind. She wanted to show them to someone.
+
+One morning, she woke up very early. She saw the sky was pink and orange. She thought it was beautiful. She grabbed her crayons and paper. She ran outside to draw the sky.
+
+She saw a boy sitting on a bench. He had a camera and a hat. He was taking pictures of the sky. He saw Sara and smiled. He said hello.

+Ben and Lily were very happy. They were going to visit their grandma and grandpa at the ranch. They had never seen a ranch before. They wanted to see the cows, the horses, and the chickens.
+
+They packed their bags with their clothes, their toys, and their books. They said goodbye to their mom and dad, who hugged them and kissed them. They got in the car with their grandma and grandpa, who smiled and waved.
+
+"Are you ready for some fun?" Grandpa asked.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben and Lily shouted.
+
+They drove for a long time, until they saw a big gate with a sign that said "Welcome to the Ranch". Grandpa opened the gate and drove inside. Ben and Lily saw green fields, big trees, and a red barn. They also saw many animals: cows, horses, chickens, dogs, and cats.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" Lily said.
+
+"I want to pet them all!" Ben said.
+
+Grandma parked the car near a cozy house. She helped Ben and Lily unpack their bags and put them in their room. They had a room with two beds, a window, and a shelf with books and toys.
+
+"Thank you, Grandma!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome, my dears. Now, let's go and meet the animals. Grandpa is waiting for us at the barn. He has a surprise for you." Grandma said.
+
+They followed Grandma to the barn, where Grandpa was holding a rope. On the other end of the rope, there was a small brown horse with a white spot on its forehead.
+
+"Hello, kids. This is Daisy. She is a very gentle and dependable horse. She likes children very much. Do you want to ride her?" Grandpa asked.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded eagerly. They took turns to sit on Daisy's back, while Grandpa held the rope and walked with them. Daisy was very calm and friendly. She let Ben and Lily stroke her mane and feed her carrots.
+
+Ben and Lily had a lot of fun at the ranch. They learned many things about the animals and the farm. They also played with their grandma and grandpa, who loved them very much. They were very happy. They decided that the ranch was their favorite place in the world.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see dark clouds in the sky. They hear loud noises. They feel rain on their faces. It is a storm.
+
+Lily is scared. She runs to her house. She wants her mom. Ben is brave. He stays outside. He likes the storm. He thinks it is fun.
+
+"Ben, come inside!" Lily shouts. "The storm is bad. You can get hurt."
+
+"No, Lily, I am fine," Ben says. "The storm is cool. I want to see the lightning."
+
+Lily is sad. She does not want to play with Ben. She thinks he is silly. She goes to her room. She closes the door.
+
+The storm gets harder. The wind blows. The thunder roars. The lightning flashes. Ben is still outside. He is wet and cold. He is not having fun. He is sorry. He wishes he listened to Lily.
+
+He runs to Lily's house. He knocks on the door. He hopes Lily will talk to him.
+
+"Lily, I am sorry," Ben says. "You were right. The storm is bad. I was wrong. Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily hears Ben. She opens the door. She sees Ben. He is wet and cold. She feels sorry for him.
+
+"Ben, I am glad you are safe," Lily says. "You were brave, but you were also foolish. The storm is dangerous. You should be careful. We can be friends, but you have to listen to me sometimes."
+
+Ben nods. He hugs Lily. He says thank you. He learns his lesson. He and Lily go inside. They have hot chocolate. They watch the storm together. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like monkeys, elephants, and birds. But their favorite was the big orange tiger. It had black stripes and sharp teeth. It looked very strong and fast.
+
+"Can we ride the tiger, mom?" Tom asked. He wanted to feel the tiger's fur and hear its roar.
+
+"No, Tom, you can't ride the tiger. It is not a pet. It is a wild animal. It can hurt you if you are careless," mom said. She held Tom's hand and walked to the next cage.
+
+But Tom did not listen to mom. He was very curious and brave. He waited until mom and Lily were looking at the giraffes. Then he ran back to the tiger's cage. He climbed over the fence and jumped inside.
+
+"Hello, tiger," Tom said. He reached out his hand to touch the tiger's head. The tiger looked at Tom with its yellow eyes. It did not like strangers in its home. It growled and showed its teeth.
+
+Tom was scared. He realized he made a mistake. He wanted to get out of the cage, but he did not know how. He started to cry.
+
+"Help, mom, help!" Tom shouted. He hoped mom would hear him and save him.
+
+Mom heard Tom's voice. She turned around and saw him in the tiger's cage. She was very worried and angry. She ran to the cage and called the zookeeper.
+
+"Help, my son is in the tiger's cage! Please get him out!" mom said.
+
+The zookeeper came with a big stick. He used the stick to distract the tiger and make it move away from Tom. Then he opened the door and grabbed Tom. He lifted him out of the cage and gave him to mom.
+
+Mom hugged Tom and checked if he was hurt. She was relieved that he was not bitten by the tiger. But she was also very mad at him.
+
+"Tom, you are very careless. You could have been killed by the tiger. You did not listen to me. You did not follow the rules. You are in big trouble," mom said.
+
+Tom felt sorry. He knew he was wrong. He apologized to mom and the zookeeper. He promised to never do it again.
+
+Mom took Tom and Lily and left the zoo. She did not buy them any ice cream or toys. She said they had to go home and think about what they did.
+
+Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They never tried to ride a tiger again. They respected the animals and stayed safe.
+Lily loved her bear very much. She got it from her grandma when she was a baby. She always hugged it and played with it. She gave it a name: Brownie.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Brownie. She saw some other kids playing with their toys. She wanted to join them. She asked her mom if she could.
+
+"Sure, honey, but be careful with your bear. He is very old and special. You value him, right?" her mom said.
+
+"Yes, mom, I value him. He is my best friend," Lily said.
+
+She ran to the other kids and showed them her bear. Some of them liked it and said it was cute. But one boy laughed and said it was ugly and dirty. He grabbed it from Lily and threw it on the ground.
+
+"Hey, stop that! Give me back my bear!" Lily cried.
+
+She ran to pick up Brownie, but the boy was faster. He kicked the bear and it flew over the fence.
+
+"Ha ha, your bear is gone! It doesn't fit here. It belongs in the trash!" the boy said.
+
+Lily felt very sad and angry. She wanted to hit the boy, but her mom came and stopped her.
+
+"Lily, don't fight. That boy is very mean and rude. He doesn't know how to value things. Come on, let's go get your bear," her mom said.
+
+They walked around the fence and found Brownie on the other side. He was dirty and torn, but Lily didn't care. She hugged him and kissed him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Brownie. I love you. You fit with me. You are my best friend," she said.
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged them both.
+
+"I'm proud of you, Lily. You are a good and kind girl. You value what matters. And I value you," she said.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Anna says. "I will go first and show you."
+
+Anna climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She smiles and waves at Ben. Then she slides down very fast. She lands on the grass and laughs.
+
+"Wow, Anna, you are brave!" Ben says. He claps his hands. He applauds Anna.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. Do you want to try?" Anna asks.
+
+Ben looks at the slide. He is still scared. He shakes his head.
+
+"No, thank you. It is too high for me. I might hurt my knee." He says.
+
+Anna understands. She does not want Ben to be sad. She is a helpful friend.
+
+"That is okay, Ben. We can play something else. Do you want to swing on the swings?" She says.
+
+Ben nods. He likes the swings. He is not scared of them.
+
+"Yes, please. That sounds fun." He says.
+
+Anna and Ben run to the swings. They push each other and swing high. They giggle and have fun. They are happy friends.

+
+One day, Sara and Sam want to read the same book. It is a big book with many pictures. It is about animals and cars. Sara says, "I want to read this book. It has a lion and a truck on the cover." Sam says, "No, I want to read this book. It has a monkey and a bus on the cover." They both pull the book. The book rips.
+
+Sara and Sam are sad. They cry. Mom hears them. She comes to their room. She sees the ripped book. She says, "What happened? Why are you crying?" Sara and Sam tell her. Mom says, "I'm sorry. You should not fight over a book. You should share. Sharing is caring. I have an idea. Why don't you read the book together? You can take turns reading the pages. You can learn about animals and cars. You can have fun."
+
+Sara and Sam like Mom's idea. They say, "Okay. We will read the book together. We will share. We are sorry." Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I'm proud of you. You are good twins.

+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big black and white animal on a tree. It was eating leaves.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a big cat," Tom said.
+
+"No, it is not a cat. It has no tail. And it is too big," Lily said.
+
+"Then what is it? Do you know?" Tom asked.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She remembered a book she had at home. It had pictures of many animals.
+
+"I think I know. It is a panda," Lily said.
+
+"A panda? What is a panda?" Tom asked.
+
+"A panda is an animal that lives in a far away place. It is very rare and special. It likes to eat leaves and bamboo. It is very cute and soft," Lily said.
+
+"Wow, a panda. It sounds very nice. Can we pet it?" Tom asked.
+
+Lily shook her head.
+
+"No, we can't. It is not our pet. It belongs to the zoo. We can only look at it and say hello," Lily said.
+
+They waved at the panda. The panda looked at them and made a noise.
+
+"Hello, panda. We are Lily and Tom. We like you," they said.
+
+The panda nodded and smiled. It seemed to like them too.
+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They had learned something new. They had seen a panda. They thought it was very useful to read books and learn about animals. They decided to read more books and see more animals. They guessed there were many more wonders in the world.
+Lila liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pink dress with flowers and ribbons. Lila thought Anna was very pretty and modern.
+
+One day, Lila's mom said they had to go to the store. Lila wanted to bring Anna with her. She put Anna in her backpack and got ready to go. But when she opened the door, she saw it was raining. Lila did not like rain. She was afraid Anna's dress would get wet and dirty.
+
+"Mom, can I leave Anna at home?" Lila asked.
+
+"No, honey, you can bring her with you. The rain won't hurt her. She's just a doll, remember?" Mom said.
+
+"But Mom, I love Anna. She's my friend. I don't want her dress to end bad," Lila said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lila. "I know, sweetie. But Anna is strong and brave. She can handle a little rain. And we can always wash her dress later, if it gets dirty. How about we put a coat on her, to keep her warm and dry?"
+
+Lila thought for a moment. She liked the idea of putting a coat on Anna. She found a small coat in her closet and put it on Anna. She zipped it up and tucked her hair under the hood. She looked at Anna and smiled.
+
+"There, now Anna is ready to go. She looks very modern and cozy, don't you think?" Mom said.
+
+"Yes, Mom. She does. Thank you for helping me," Lila said.
+
+"You're welcome, honey. Now let's go to the store. Maybe we can find a new dress for Anna, too. A dress that is good for rain and sun," Mom said.
+
+Lila nodded and held Mom's hand. She put Anna in her backpack and walked to the car. She was happy to go to the store with Mom and Anna. She hoped they would find a nice dress for Anna. A dress that would make her even more pretty and modern.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a big teddy bear and Ben had a small car.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make my car go fast!" Ben said, zooming his car on the floor.
+
+"That's cool, Ben, but can your car hug you?" Lily said, holding her teddy bear close.
+
+"No, but it can go under the sofa!" Ben said, and pushed his car under the sofa.
+
+Lily and Ben crawled under the sofa to get the car. They saw something shiny and round under the sofa. It was a bracelet that belonged to their mom.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Lily said, picking up the bracelet.
+
+"It's mom's bracelet. She wears it on her waist sometimes. It's pretty!" Ben said, admiring the bracelet.
+
+"Let's try it on!" Lily said, and put the bracelet around her wrist. It was too big for her, so it slid down to her elbow.
+
+"Ha ha, it's too big for you, Lily!" Ben said, laughing.
+
+"Maybe it will fit you, Ben!" Lily said, and tried to put the bracelet on Ben's wrist. But Ben moved his hand away.
+
+"No, thank you, Lily. It's for girls, not boys!" Ben said.
+
+Just then, they heard their mom coming into the living room. She was looking for her bracelet.
+
+"Where is my bracelet? I left it on the table. Have you seen it, kids?" Mom said, sounding worried.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They knew they were not supposed to touch mom's things. They were nosy and they made a mistake.
+
+"Sorry, mom, we found it under the sofa. We wanted to try it on. Here it is!" Lily said, and gave the bracelet to mom.
+
+Mom took the bracelet and looked at Lily and Ben. She was not happy, but she was not angry either. She knew they were curious and they liked shiny things.
+
+"Thank you for giving it back, kids. But next time, please don't touch my things without asking. They might break or get lost. Do you understand?" Mom said, and put the bracelet on her waist.
+
+"Yes, mom, we understand. We're sorry, mom. We won't do it again." Lily and Ben said, and hugged mom.
+
+Mom hugged them back and smiled. She loved her kids, even when they were nosy. She was glad they were honest and said sorry.
+
+"OK, kids, let's go and have some cookies. But first, let's spread the toys and put them away. The living room is a mess!" Mom said, and led them to the kitchen.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to find animals and plants and make up stories about them. They saw a big bird with a long beak and colorful feathers. Lila said, "Look, Ben, a toucan! It can fly very high and eat fruits. Maybe it lives in a nest on a tall tree."
+
+Ben said, "Wow, a toucan! It is very pretty and noisy. Can we follow it and see where it goes?" Lila nodded and they ran after the bird. They did not see the hunter who was hiding behind a bush. He had a gun and a bag. He wanted to catch the toucan and sell it. He aimed at the bird and pulled the trigger.
+
+Bang! The gun made a loud sound and scared the toucan. It flew away quickly and disappeared in the sky. Lila and Ben heard the sound and stopped. They saw the hunter and his gun. They were very afraid and angry. They shouted, "Hey, hunter, leave the toucan alone! It is not yours. It belongs to the forest. You are bad and mean!"
+
+The hunter was surprised and annoyed. He saw the children and hissed, "Go away, you brats! This is none of your business. I am a hunter and I hunt what I want. The toucan is mine. I will find it and put it in my bag." He ran after the bird, leaving his bag behind.
+
+Lila and Ben ran to the bag and opened it. They saw that it was empty. The hunter had not caught any animals. They felt sorry for the animals that he wanted to catch. They decided to return the bag to the hunter and tell him to stop hunting. They followed his tracks and found him. He was still looking for the toucan, but he could not see it. He was tired and angry.
+
+Lila and Ben gave him his bag and said, "Here, hunter, this is your bag. It is empty. You have no animals. You should not hunt them. They are not for you. They are for the forest. They have families and friends. They are happy and free. You should be happy and free too. You should play and make stories, not hurt and kill. Go away and leave the forest alone."
+
+The hunter looked at the children and his bag. He felt ashamed and sad. He realized that he was wrong and cruel. He said, "You are right, children. I am sorry. I will not hunt anymore. I will find another way to live. Thank you for returning my bag and teaching me a lesson. Goodbye and take care." He left the forest and never came back.
+
+Lila and Ben smiled and hugged. They were happy and proud. They had saved the toucan and the forest. They returned to their game and made more stories. They hoped that the hunter would find happiness and peace. They hoped that the forest would stay safe and beautiful. They hoped that the toucan would return and visit them someday.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big road with many cars. They want to cross the road to get to the swings.
+
+"Wait!" says Tom. "We have to learn how to cross the road. It is not safe to run."
+
+"How do we learn?" asks Lily.
+
+"Look!" says Tom. "There is a white sign with a green man. When the green man is on, we can cross. When the red man is on, we have to stop."
+
+Tom and Lily wait for the green man. They hold hands and look both ways. They cross the road carefully. They are happy to get to the swings.
+
+"Good job!" says Tom. "We learned how to cross the road."
+
+"Yes!" says Lily. "We are smart and safe."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They saw a big envelope on the table. It had a sticker that said "Do not open until your birthday". Lily's birthday was tomorrow. She wanted to know what was inside.
+
+"Let's peek," she whispered to Ben. "Maybe it is a toy or a book or a dress."
+
+Ben nodded. He was curious too. They tiptoed to the table and lifted the envelope. It was heavy. They tried to open it a little bit, but it was stuck.
+
+They pulled harder and harder. The envelope ripped. Something shiny fell out. It was a necklace with a heart. It was very pretty.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily gasped. "We broke it!"
+
+They heard footsteps. Mom was coming. They were scared. They tried to hide the necklace and the envelope under the couch. But they were clumsy. They dropped the necklace and it made a loud noise.
+
+Mom entered the living room. She saw the mess. She saw the necklace. She saw Lily and Ben's guilty faces.
+
+"What have you done?" she asked. "This was a surprise for Lily's birthday. It was from Grandma. She sent it all the way from another country. How could you be so naughty?"
+
+Lily and Ben felt very bad. They said sorry. They cried. They hugged Mom. They hugged each other.
+
+Mom was angry, but she was also sad. She loved them. She knew they were sorry. She said they had to wait until tomorrow to open the rest of the envelope. Maybe there was a letter or a picture from Grandma. Maybe there was something else.
+
+She said they had to be more careful and respectful. She said they had to learn to be patient and curious in a good way.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said they would. They said they loved Mom. They said they loved Grandma. They said they loved the necklace.
+
+They went to bed early. They dreamed of Grandma and her surprise. They hoped she would not be mad. They hoped she would still love them. They hoped they would see her soon.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to swim in the lake. One day, they saw a big box in the water. They thought it was a treasure. They swam to the box and opened it. Inside, they saw many shiny things and some old bones.
+
+"Wow, look at all the treasure!" Tom said. He grabbed a necklace and put it around his neck.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Sam said. He took a ring and put it on his finger.
+
+They were very happy and wanted to take more treasure. But then, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big dragon flying over the lake. The dragon was angry. It was his treasure. He had killed the people who had tried to take it before. That's why there were bones in the box.
+
+"Give me back my treasure!" the dragon shouted. He breathed fire at Tom and Sam.
+
+Tom and Sam were very scared. They dropped the treasure and swam away as fast as they could. They reached the shore and ran to their home. They were safe, but they were also sad. They had lost the treasure and they had made the dragon mad.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that greed is bad. They learned that taking things that don't belong to them can cause trouble. They learned that some treasures are not worth the risk. They decided to never swim in the lake again. They decided to be happy with what they had. They decided to be good friends.
+Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily was a lion and Max was a monkey. They roared and jumped and swung from the couch.
+
+"Let's have a snack," Lily said. She was hungry and thirsty. She went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. She saw some cheese and grapes. "Yummy!" she said. She took some and put them on a plate. She also poured some juice in a cup.
+
+She brought the plate and the cup to the living room and shared them with Max. "Thank you, Lily," Max said. He liked cheese and grapes. He took a big bite and made a happy sound. He also drank some juice.
+
+They ate and drank until they were full. They felt sleepy and cozy. They yawned and stretched. They put their toys away and snuggled on the couch. They covered themselves with a blanket.
+
+Lily saw a book on the table. It was a story about a princess and a dragon. She liked that book. She picked it up and opened it. She showed it to Max. "Do you want me to read to you?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, please," Max said. He liked stories. He moved closer to Lily and looked at the pictures. Lily tried to read the words. She knew some of them, but not all. She made up some parts. She used her finger to point at the nail on the dragon's claw. She said it was sharp and scary. She used her voice to make the princess sound sweet and brave. She said she had a magic wand and a crown.
+
+They listened and looked at the book. They imagined they were in the story. They smiled and gasped and cheered. They forgot they were sleepy. They had fun. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog with a red collar. The dog looked friendly and wagged its tail.
+
+"Can we pet the dog, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Let's ask the owner first, sweetie," mom said. She looked around and saw a man sitting on a bench. He was holding a leash, but he was not paying attention to the dog. He was looking at his phone.
+
+"Excuse me, sir, is your dog friendly? Can my children pet him?" mom asked.
+
+The man did not answer. He did not look up from his phone. He was rude.
+
+"Sir, please answer me. Is your dog friendly?" mom asked again.
+
+The man still did not answer. He did not care. He was very rude.
+
+Mom was angry. She took Lily and Ben by the hand and walked away from the dog and the man.
+
+"Come on, kids, let's go to another part of the park. That man is rude and we don't know if his dog is safe. We can find another dog to pet, or play with something else," mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were sad that they could not pet the dog, but they were glad that mom kept them safe. They did not like rude people. They liked kind and friendly people. They hoped the dog was okay. They went to play with the sandbox and the seesaw. They had fun.
+Lily liked to make music. She had a small piano and a big drum. She played them every day. She wanted to be a musician when she grew up.
+
+One day, her mom took her to a concert. There were many musicians on a stage. They played guitars and violins and flutes. They made beautiful music. Lily clapped and smiled.
+
+"Mom, can I be a musician like them?" she asked.
+
+"Of course, my dear. You can be anything you want. But you have to practice and work hard. That's how you succeed," her mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted to succeed. She wanted to be a successful musician. She decided to practice more and learn new songs. She thanked her mom for taking her to the concert. She felt happy and inspired.
+Tim liked to wander. He liked to see new things and have fun. He did not like to stay in his room or do his work. One day, he wandered too far. He saw a big road with many cars. He wanted to cross the road and see what was on the other side.
+
+He did not look or listen. He did not see the red light or hear the horn. He ran into the road and a car hit him. He fell down and did not get up. He was hurt very bad. The car stopped and the driver got out. He was scared and sorry. He called for help.
+
+But it was too late. Tim was gone. He could not wander anymore. He could not see new things or have fun. He could not go back to his room or do his work. He could not hear his mom or dad tell him a story. He could not be normal. He was gone. And everyone was sad.
+Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to build a big tower. They use many blocks of different colors and shapes. They put one block on top of another block. They are happy.
+
+But then, Tom comes. Tom is bigger than Sara and Ben. He does not like to share. He wants all the blocks for himself. He pushes Sara and Ben away. He takes their blocks and throws them on the floor. He laughs.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They stare at Tom. They do not like him. They want their blocks back. They say, "Tom, stop! That is not nice. Those are our blocks. We were playing with them. Give them back!"
+
+Tom does not listen. He says, "No, they are mine. I am bigger than you. I can do what I want. Go away!"
+
+Sara and Ben do not go away. They are brave. They stand up to Tom. They say, "No, you are wrong. You are mean. You cannot take our blocks. They are ours. We will tell the teacher."
+
+Tom is scared. He does not want the teacher to know. He says, "Fine, fine. Take your blocks. I do not care. They are boring anyway."
+
+Sara and Ben pick up their blocks. They are happy again. They start to build their tower again. They use a measure to see how tall it is. They say, "Look, our tower is very tall. It is taller than Tom. We are good at building. We are good at sharing. We are good friends."
+Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has long hair and a pretty dress. Anna likes to imagine that Lily is a princess who lives in a castle.
+
+One day, Anna finds a hat in her closet. It is a big hat with flowers and ribbons. Anna thinks it is a beautiful hat. She puts it on Lily's head and says, "Look, Lily, you have a new hat! Now you are the most pretty princess in the world!"
+
+Lily smiles and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind. I like my new hat. It makes me feel happy."
+
+Anna and Lily play together for a long time. They imagine that they are having a tea party with their other dolls. They pretend that the hat is a magic hat that can grant wishes. They wish for many things, like candy, toys, and flowers.
+
+They have a lot of fun with the hat. Anna thinks that Lily is the best friend she ever had. She hugs Lily and says, "I love you, Lily. You are my favorite doll."
+
+Lily hugs Anna back and says, "I love you, Anna. You are my favorite girl."
+One day, a boy named Tom and a girl named Lily went to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They also had a snowball fight and laughed a lot.
+
+But then, Tom saw a big hill and wanted to slide down on his sled. He asked Lily to come with him, but she was scared. She said, "No, Tom, that hill is too high and too icy. We might get hurt."
+
+Tom did not listen to Lily. He said, "Don't be a baby, Lily. It will be fun. I will go first and show you." He got on his sled and pushed off the hill.
+
+But Tom was wrong. The hill was too high and too icy. He went too fast and could not stop. He hit a tree and fell off his sled. He cried out in pain. He hurt his waist and his arm.
+
+Lily heard Tom's cry and ran to help him. She was worried and sorry for him. She said, "Tom, are you okay? I told you the hill was too high and too icy. You should have listened to me."
+
+Tom felt ashamed and sorry too. He said, "You were right, Lily. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I was foolish and brave. I'm sorry I called you a baby. You are a good friend. Thank you for helping me."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Tom. She said, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. I forgive you. Let's go home and get warm. Maybe we can play in the snow again another day, but not on the big hill."
+
+Tom nodded and smiled too. He said, "Yes, let's go home and get warm. And next time, we will play in the snow safely and wisely."
+
+The moral of the story is: Listen to your friends when they warn you of danger. Don't be foolish and brave. Be safe and wise. And always thank your friends for helping you.
+Anna and Ben liked to play in the woods. They liked to pretend they were brave knights and princesses. One day, they found a big house made of candy. It looked perfect. They wanted to eat some.
+
+"Please, can we have some candy?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+"OK, but only a little bit. Maybe the candy house belongs to someone," Ben said.
+
+They broke off a piece of the roof and tasted it. It was sweet and yummy. They broke off another piece and another. They did not see the witch who lived in the house. She was watching them from the window. She was angry and hungry.
+
+"Who is eating my house?" the witch said. She came out of the door and grabbed Anna and Ben. "You naughty children! You will be my dinner!"
+
+Anna and Ben were scared. They tried to run away, but the witch was too fast. She put them in a big cage. She went to the kitchen to make a fire.
+
+"Help! Help!" Anna and Ben cried. "Please, let us go!"
+
+But no one heard them. The witch was happy. She thought she had a perfect meal. She did not know that Anna and Ben had a secret. They had a magic whistle. They had found it in the woods. It could call their friends, the animals.
+
+Anna and Ben took out the whistle and blew it hard. The witch did not hear it. But the animals did. They heard their friends in trouble. They came to the candy house. They saw the witch and the cage. They were angry and brave.
+
+They attacked the witch. They bit her and scratched her and chased her away. They broke the cage and freed Anna and Ben. They hugged them and licked them and thanked them for the whistle.
+
+Anna and Ben were happy and grateful. They thanked the animals and gave them some candy. They said sorry to the witch and promised not to eat her house again. They went back to the woods and played. They never forgot their adventure. They always remembered to be careful and kind.
+Lily liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a big box. She liked to put her toys in the box and pretend it was a house or a car or a boat. Sometimes she tried to fit in the box too, but it was hard.
+
+One day, Lily had a new idea. She asked her mom for some broccoli. Her mom was surprised, but happy. She gave Lily some broccoli and said, "Eat your broccoli, it is good for you." Lily said, "Thank you, mom, but I don't want to eat it. I want to play with it."
+
+Lily took the broccoli to her room and put it in the box. She said, "This is my broccoli garden. I will grow more broccoli and make a salad." She pretended to water the broccoli and sing to it. She was having fun.
+
+But then, her brother Tom came in. He saw the broccoli in the box and said, "What are you doing, Lily? That is not a toy. That is food. You are wasting it. Give it to me, I am hungry." He tried to take the broccoli from the box, but Lily stopped him.
+
+She said, "No, Tom, this is my broccoli. I am playing with it. You can't have it. Go away." She pushed him away from the box. Tom was angry. He said, "You are silly, Lily. Broccoli is not for playing. It is for eating. I will eat it all and you will have none." He grabbed the box and tried to lift it, but it was too heavy. He could not fit the box in his arms. He dropped the box and the broccoli fell out.
+
+Lily was sad. She said, "Look what you did, Tom. You ruined my broccoli garden. You are mean." She started to cry. Tom felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to ruin your game. I was just hungry. Can we share the broccoli?" Lily said, "Maybe, but you have to be nice. And you have to help me pick up the broccoli and put it back in the box." Tom said, "OK, I will help you. And then we can eat some broccoli together. Maybe it will make us strong and smart." Lily said, "OK, that sounds good. But we have to ask mom first." They hugged and went to find their mom.
+
+Mom was happy to see them. She said, "What a nice surprise. You two are getting along. And you want to eat broccoli? That is wonderful. You are very good children. You make me proud." She gave them each a plate of broccoli and some dip. They ate the broccoli and liked it. They felt successful. They smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you. And we love broccoli." Mom smiled and said, "I love you too. And I love broccoli. And I love your box. Can I play with it too?" They said, "Yes, mom, you can play with us. We have room for you. You can fit in our box." They all laughed and played together. They had a happy day.
+Lily and Max were twins who shared a room and a bed. They liked to play with their toys and books, but sometimes they fought over things. One night, they were getting ready to sleep, but they both wanted the same pillow. It was soft and blue and had a picture of a bunny on it.
+
+"Give me the pillow, Max!" Lily said. "It's mine!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Max said. "You had it last night!"
+
+They pulled and tugged on the pillow, but neither of them would let go. They started to yell and cry, and their mom heard them from the hall.
+
+"What's going on in here?" Mom asked, opening the door. She saw Lily and Max with the pillow between them, and their faces red and angry.
+
+"They're fighting over the pillow, Mom!" Lily said.
+
+"They're fighting over the pillow, Mom!" Max said.
+
+Mom sighed and walked over to the bed. She took the pillow from their hands and looked at them with a harsh face.
+
+"Stop it, both of you!" Mom said. "Fighting is not nice, and pinching is not nice either. I saw the marks on your arms. How do you think that makes your brother or sister feel?"
+
+Lily and Max looked down and felt sorry. They knew Mom was right. Pinching hurt and made them sad.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Lily said.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Max said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She gave them each a kiss and tucked them in with their own pillows. She turned off the light and said good night.
+
+"Good night, Mom," Lily said.
+
+"Good night, Mom," Max said.
+
+They snuggled with their pillows and closed their eyes. They felt warm and cozy and happy. They whispered to each other.
+
+"Sorry for pinching you, Lily," Max said.
+
+"Sorry for pinching you, Max," Lily said.
+
+"I love you, Lily," Max said.
+
+"I love you, Max," Lily said.
+
+They fell asleep and dreamed of bunnies.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys of different shapes and colors. Lily liked to sort her toys by shape. She had a box for circles, a box for squares, and a box for triangles. Ben liked to sort his toys by color. He had a box for red, a box for blue, and a box for yellow.
+
+"Look, Lily, I sorted my toys by color. See, all the red ones are here, all the blue ones are there, and all the yellow ones are here," Ben said, showing his boxes to Lily.
+
+"That's nice, Ben, but I sorted my toys by shape. See, all the circles are here, all the squares are there, and all the triangles are here," Lily said, showing her boxes to Ben.
+
+"But that's not right, Lily. You have to sort them by color. That's how you know what they are. This is a red ball, this is a blue car, and this is a yellow duck," Ben said, pointing to his toys.
+
+"No, Ben, you have to sort them by shape. That's how you know what they are. This is a circle, this is a square, and this is a triangle," Lily said, pointing to her toys.
+
+Lily and Ben started to argue. They did not agree on how to sort their toys. They raised their voices and made a lot of noise. They did not notice that their mom was coming into the living room.
+
+"What's going on here, Lily and Ben? Why are you shouting at each other?" their mom asked, looking at the mess of toys and boxes.
+
+"Lily and Ben stopped arguing and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. They knew they had been rude and silly.
+
+"We were sorting our toys, mom, but we did not agree on how to do it. Lily wanted to sort them by shape, and I wanted to sort them by color," Ben said, hanging his head.
+
+"And we got angry and yelled at each other, mom. We were not nice to each other," Lily said, biting her lip.
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She was not mad at them. She was glad they were honest and sorry.
+
+"It's okay, Lily and Ben. I'm happy that you like to sort your toys. That's a good way to learn and have fun. But you don't have to sort them the same way. You can sort them by shape, or by color, or by any other way you like. The important thing is that you respect each other and share your toys. Do you understand?" their mom said, looking at them with love.
+
+"Yes, mom, we understand. We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, Lily. We're sorry, Ben. Can we play together again?" Lily and Ben said, nodding and hugging each other.
+
+"Of course you can, my sweeties. Why don't you take your toys and boxes outside and play in the sunshine? It's a beautiful day, and the door is open. Just be careful and have fun," their mom said, kissing them and helping them carry their toys and boxes.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and thanked their mom. They took their toys and boxes outside and played in the sunshine. They sorted their toys by shape and by color, and by other ways too. They showed each other their toys and learned from each other. They laughed and had fun. They were happy and kind. They were friends.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They made a big road with sand and stones. They zoomed their cars along the road and pretended to honk and beep.
+
+"Look, Lily, my car is faster than yours!" Ben said.
+
+"No, it's not, Ben, my car is better than yours!" Lily said.
+
+They raced their cars on the road, but they did not see the hose that was lying on the grass. Ben's car hit the hose and flew off the road. It landed on a rock and broke into pieces. Ben's car was a wreck.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, your car is broken!" Lily said.
+
+Ben started to cry. He loved his car. He picked up the pieces and hugged them.
+
+"It's okay, Ben, we can fix your car," Lily said. "Let's go inside and ask Mom for some glue."
+
+They ran inside the house and found Mom in the kitchen. She was drying some dishes with a towel.
+
+"Mom, Mom, can you help us?" Lily said. "Ben's car is a wreck. It hit the hose and broke. Can we have some glue to fix it?"
+
+Mom looked at Ben's car and saw the broken pieces. She felt sorry for Ben. She put down the towel and smiled.
+
+"Of course, I can help you," Mom said. "But first, we need to dry your car. It's wet from the hose. Wet things don't stick well with glue. Come on, let's go to the living room and use the hair dryer."
+
+Mom took them to the living room and plugged in the hair dryer. She turned it on and blew hot air on Ben's car. The car became dry and warm.
+
+"Wow, Mom, the hair dryer is magic!" Lily said.
+
+"It's not magic, Lily, it's science," Mom said. "The hair dryer makes the water evaporate. That means the water turns into tiny drops that fly away in the air. Then the car becomes dry."
+
+"Can we try it, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, you can try it, but be careful. Don't point it at your face or your hair. It's very hot," Mom said.
+
+She gave them the hair dryer and watched them dry their car. They had fun blowing the air and making noises.
+
+"Okay, your car is dry now. Let's get some glue and fix it," Mom said.
+
+She got some glue and helped them stick the pieces together. They waited for a few minutes until the glue dried. Then Ben's car was fixed. It looked almost like new.
+
+"Thank you, Mom, you're the best!" Ben said.
+
+"You're welcome, Ben, I'm glad you're happy," Mom said.
+
+"Can we go back to the garden and play with our cars?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can, but be careful. Watch out for the hose and the rocks. And don't forget to put away your toys when you're done," Mom said.
+
+"Okay, Mom, we will," Ben and Lily said.
+
+They ran back to the garden and played with their cars. They zoomed them along the road and pretended to honk and beep. They saw a distant plane in the sky and waved at it. They had a lot of fun. They were good friends.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for treasures. One day, they found something very strange. It was a skull!
+
+"Look, Tom, look!" Lila said. "What is this?"
+
+Tom looked at the skull. It had two big holes for eyes and a long row of teeth. He felt anxious. He did not like the skull.
+
+"I don't know, Lila. It looks scary. Maybe it is a monster's head. Let's bring it to Mom and ask her."
+
+Lila nodded. She picked up the skull and held it in her hands. She and Tom ran to the bench where Mom was sitting. They showed her the skull.
+
+"Mom, Mom, look what we found!" Lila said.
+
+Mom looked at the skull. She was surprised. She smiled and hugged Lila and Tom.
+
+"Wow, you found a skull! That is very interesting. Do you know what it is?"
+
+Lila and Tom shook their heads.
+
+"It is a dinosaur's skull. A dinosaur was a very big animal that lived a long time ago. It is not a monster. It is a fossil. A fossil is a bone that turned into a rock. You can learn more about dinosaurs at the museum. Do you want to go there?"
+
+Lila and Tom nodded. They were not anxious anymore. They were curious. They wanted to see more dinosaurs. They gave the skull to Mom and got ready to go to the museum. They were happy. They had found a treasure.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to walk in the park. They saw many animals there, like birds, dogs and squirrels. One day, they saw a big cage with a sign that said "Lion". They wanted to see the lion, but the cage was locked and the gate was closed.
+
+Tim had an idea. He said to Sam, "Let's climb over the gate and open the cage. Then we can see the lion up close." Sam was scared, but he followed Tim. They climbed over the gate and walked to the cage. They saw the lion sleeping inside. He looked big and strong, but also soft and furry.
+
+Tim found a key on the ground and opened the cage. He said to Sam, "Come on, let's touch the lion. He won't hurt us, he's just a big cat." Sam was very scared, but he followed Tim. They walked into the cage and reached out to touch the lion.
+
+But the lion was not a big cat. He was a wild animal who did not like strangers. He woke up and saw Tim and Sam. He roared and jumped at them. He bit Tim's arm and scratched Sam's face. They screamed and ran out of the cage. They were bleeding and crying.
+
+The park keeper heard the noise and came to see what happened. He saw Tim and Sam and the lion. He was angry and worried. He said to Tim and Sam, "What were you thinking? You could have been killed by the lion. He is not a pet, he is a dangerous animal. You should never go near him. You are very lucky to be alive."
+
+Tim and Sam felt sorry and ashamed. They said to the park keeper, "We're sorry, we were curious and foolish. We wanted to see the lion, but we didn't know he was so fierce. We won't do it again, we promise." The park keeper took them to the hospital and called their parents. They learned their lesson.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not play with things that are fragile or dangerous. They can hurt you or break. Listen to the rules and respect the animals. They are not toys, they have feelings and needs. Be careful and smart.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play soccer. She had a big ball that was black and white. She liked to kick the ball with her foot and make it go fast. Sometimes she played with her friends, and sometimes she played by herself.
+
+One day, she was playing by herself in the park. She saw a woman sitting on a bench. The woman had a big bag and a small dog. The dog was brown and fluffy. Lily thought the dog was cute. She wanted to say hello to the dog.
+
+She ran to the woman and the dog with her ball. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Can I play with your dog?"
+
+The woman looked at Lily and smiled. She said, "Hello, Lily. My name is Anna. And this is Max. He is my dog. You can play with him, but be gentle. He is nervous around strangers."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "OK, I will be gentle. Can I kick the ball to him?"
+
+Anna said, "Sure, you can kick the ball to him. But not too hard. He might get scared."
+
+Lily said, "OK, I will kick the ball softly." She kicked the ball to Max. Max saw the ball and barked. He ran to the ball and sniffed it. He liked the ball. He picked it up with his mouth and ran back to Lily. He dropped the ball at her feet and wagged his tail.
+
+Lily laughed. She said, "Good boy, Max. You are a good soccer player. Do you want to play again?"
+
+Max barked again. He wanted to play again. Lily kicked the ball to him again. And again. And again. They had fun playing together. Anna watched them and smiled. She was happy that Lily and Max were friends. She said, "You are a nice girl, Lily. And you are good at soccer. Maybe you can teach Max some tricks."
+
+Lily said, "Thank you, Anna. And thank you, Max. You are a nice dog. And you are good at soccer too. Maybe we can play again another day."
+
+Anna said, "You're welcome, Lily. And yes, we can play again another day. We come to this park often. Maybe we will see you again soon."
+
+Lily said, "I hope so. Bye, Anna. Bye, Max." She waved to them and ran back to her mom. She told her mom about her new friends. Her mom was proud of her. She said, "You are a brave girl, Lily. And you are kind to animals. I'm glad you had fun today."
+
+Lily hugged her mom. She said, "I love you, mom. And I love soccer. And I love Max." She smiled and kicked her ball. She was happy.
+Lily and Sam were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs and shells. They were careful not to step on the jellyfish that washed up on the shore. Jellyfish were soft and squishy, but they could sting if you touched them.
+
+One day, Lily and Sam wandered away from their mom and dad. They wanted to explore a big rock that was covered with seaweed. They thought they might find some treasure or a pirate. They climbed over the rock and saw a small cave. They were curious and went inside.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Sam said. He pointed to a shiny object that sparkled in the dark. It was a necklace with a blue stone. "It must be a magic necklace. Maybe it belongs to a mermaid."
+
+"Can I see it?" Lily asked. She reached out her hand to touch the necklace. But before she could, a voice said, "Hey, that's mine!"
+
+Lily and Sam turned around and saw a boy sitting on a pile of rocks. He had long hair and a tail. He was a mermaid boy. He looked angry and scared.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asked. "Why are you here?"
+
+"I'm Kai. I live in the sea. I came here to hide from the sharks. They chased me and tried to eat me. I dropped my necklace when I swam into the cave. It's very important to me. It was a gift from my mom. She said it would protect me and bring me luck. Please give it back to me."
+
+Lily and Sam felt sorry for Kai. They did not want to make him sad or take his necklace. They were generous and kind.
+
+"OK, we're sorry. We didn't know it was yours. Here, you can have it back." Sam said. He handed the necklace to Kai.
+
+"Thank you. You are very nice. Do you want to be my friends?" Kai asked.
+
+"Yes, we do. We like to make new friends. What's it like to live in the sea?" Lily asked.
+
+Kai smiled and told them about his home and his family and his adventures. He showed them his jellyfish friends that glowed in the dark. He taught them how to sing and swim like a mermaid. They had a lot of fun together.
+
+Soon, they heard their mom and dad calling their names. They had to go back to the beach. They said goodbye to Kai and promised to visit him again. Kai gave them each a shell as a souvenir. He thanked them for being generous and friendly. He waved his tail and swam away. Lily and Sam ran back to their mom and dad. They told them about their new friend Kai and showed them their shells. They were happy and excited. They had a wonderful day at the beach.
+Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and each other. But sometimes they had to leave their room and go to the living room. That was because their mom had a new infant, a baby boy. Mom said they had to be quiet and gentle with the baby.
+
+One day, it was very gloomy outside. The sky was gray and it rained a lot. Ben and Lily were bored in their room. They wanted to go outside and jump in the puddles. But mom said no, it was too cold and wet. She said they could play in the living room with the baby.
+
+Ben and Lily went to the living room. They saw the baby in his crib. He was sleeping. Mom was on the couch, reading a book. She smiled at them and said, "You can play with the baby, but don't wake him up. He needs his nap."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They tiptoed to the crib. They looked at the baby. He was very small and cute. He had a blue blanket and a teddy bear. Ben and Lily wanted to touch him and hug him. But they remembered what mom said.
+
+They whispered to each other. "He is our brother," Ben said. "We love him," Lily said. They smiled at the baby. They decided to leave him alone and play with their own toys. They took out their blocks and cars and dolls. They made a castle and a road and a family. They had fun.
+
+Mom watched them and was proud. She thought they were very good and sweet. She closed her book and joined them. She said, "You are such good twins. Thank you for being nice to the baby. Do you want to help me feed him when he wakes up?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They were happy. They liked to help mom and the baby. They liked to be a family. They forgot about the gloomy weather. They had a sunny day.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with marbles. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. They liked to roll them, sort them, and make patterns with them.
+
+One day, they decided to organize their marbles by color. They got a big box and some small cups. They put each color of marble in a different cup. They said, "This is easy and fun!"
+
+But then, their baby brother Max came. He saw the box and the cups. He was curious. He wanted to play too. He grabbed a cup and dumped the marbles on the floor. He laughed and clapped his hands.
+
+Tom and Lily were not happy. They said, "No, Max, no! Those are our marbles! You made a mess!" They tried to get the cup back from Max, but he held it tight. He cried and kicked.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came. She saw the marbles, the box, the cups, and the children. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Tom and Lily said, "We were organizing our marbles by color, but Max ruined it. He spilled the marbles and took our cup. He is naughty!"
+
+Mom said, "I see. Well, Max is too little to understand. He just wanted to join you. He likes marbles too. How about we share and play together? We can help Max learn the colors and the names of the marbles. We can also teach him how to organize them. That would be nice, don't you think?"
+
+Tom and Lily thought for a moment. They said, "OK, Mom. We can share and play with Max. We can teach him how to organize the marbles. Maybe he will like it too."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Good. I'm glad you are willing to cooperate. Now, let's pick up the marbles and start again. And remember, be gentle and patient with Max. He is your brother and he loves you."
+
+Tom, Lily, and Max nodded and said, "OK, Mom. We love you too." They hugged Mom and then started to play with the marbles again. They had fun and learned something new. They were happy.
+Tom is a very intelligent boy. He likes to learn new things and ask many questions. He has a big book with pictures and words about the world. He wants to know everything about the world.
+
+One day, he asks his mom, "Mom, what is this?" He points to a picture of a mountain. "That is a mountain, Tom. It is a very big hill with snow on top," his mom says. "Why does it have snow on top?" Tom asks. "Because it is very cold up there," his mom says.
+
+Tom is not satisfied. He wants to see the mountain for himself. He says to his mom, "Mom, can we go to the mountain? I want to see the snow and touch it." His mom says, "No, Tom, we can't go to the mountain. It is too far and too dangerous. We live in the city, where there are no mountains."
+
+Tom is sad. He insists, "But mom, I want to go to the mountain. Please, please, please, can we go?" His mom says, "No, Tom, we can't go. Maybe someday, when you are older, we can go to the mountain. But not now. Now, we have to go to the store and buy some food."
+
+Tom is still sad. He does not want to go to the store. He wants to go to the mountain. He thinks, "Maybe I can find a way to go to the mountain by myself. Maybe I can take a bus or a train or a plane. Maybe I can find a friend who has a mountain in his backyard. Maybe I can make a mountain out of pillows and blankets. Maybe I can dream about the mountain at night."
+
+Tom is a very intelligent boy. He likes to learn new things and ask many questions. He has a big book with pictures and words about the world. He wants to know everything about the world. But he also has to listen to his mom and be patient. He knows that the world is big and beautiful, and that there are many things to see and do. He knows that someday, he will go to the mountain, and to many other places. He knows that he has a lot to learn and a lot to enjoy. He knows that he is a very intelligent boy.

+
+Tom and Jen are sad too. They do not like to see the dead bird. They look at Jen's mom. Jen's mom sees their faces and hugs them.
+
+"It's okay, Tom and Jen," she says. "The bird is not real. It is just a toy. The dog and the cat are not real either. They are just actors. They are pretending to be sad. They are not really sad. They are just playing a game."
+
+Tom and Jen look at the screen again. They see the dog and the cat smile and wag their tails. They see the bird move and sing. They see the words "The End" on the screen. They realize it is just a movie. They feel better.

+
+They push their boats and watch them go. The wind blows and the boats move. Tom's boat goes very fast. Sam's boat goes slower. Tom says, "Look, my boat is the best. It can sail faster than yours." Sam says, "That's not fair. Your boat is bigger than mine."
+
+Tom laughs and says, "My boat is better because it is strong. Your boat is weak and small." Sam feels sad and angry. He says, "No, your boat is not better. It is just big and mean."
+
+Then, something happens. A duck swims to the pond. It sees Tom's boat. It thinks it is a toy. It bites the boat and pulls it. Tom's boat breaks. Tom says, "Oh no, my boat! The duck broke my boat!" He cries and runs to the pond.
+
+Sam sees what happens. He feels sorry for Tom. He says, "Don't cry, Tom. I will help you." He sails his boat to the duck. He has a bean in his pocket. He throws the bean to the duck. The duck sees the bean. It lets go of Tom's boat. It swims to the bean and eats it.
+
+Sam sails his boat to Tom's boat. He ties them together with a string. He says, "Here, Tom. I fixed your boat. We can sail them together." Tom says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. Your boat is not weak and small. It is smart and kind."

+
+But Ben does not answer. He sees a big dog behind Lily. The dog is black and angry. It barks and growls. It wants the necklace.
+
+"Run, Lily! Run!" Ben shouts. "The dog is coming!"
+
+Lily turns around. She sees the dog. She is scared. She drops the map. She runs to Ben. Ben hugs her. He tries to protect her.
+

+The dog comes closer. It jumps at them. Lily and Ben scream.
+
+But then, they hear a whistle. It is the park ranger. He sees the dog. He sees Lily and Ben. He runs to them. He has a stick. He waves the stick at the dog. The dog is scared. It runs away.
+

+
+"That is a beautiful necklace, Lily," Lily's mom says. "But you should not go too far from us. It is dangerous. You could get lost or hurt."
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy," Lily says. "But I wanted to find the treasure. Ben helped me. He protected me from the dog. He is a good friend."
+
+Lily's mom looks at Ben. She smiles.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," she says. "You are a brave boy. You are a good friend to Lily. But you should also stay close to us. We love you and we want you to be safe."
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy," Ben says. "But I wanted to see the lake. It was on the map. The map was cool."
+
+Ben's mom looks at the map. She sees it on the ground. She picks it up. She looks at it.
+
+"This is a nice map, Ben," she says. "But it is not a real map. It is a drawing. Someone made it for fun. It is not a guide to the park. It is a game."
+
+Ben and Lily look at the map. They see the pictures. They see the words. They do not understand them. They are too big and hard.
+
+"Oh," Ben says. "It is not a real map?"
+
+"No, it is not," Ben's mom says. "But it is a good map. It is creative and colorful. Do you want to keep it?"
+
+Ben nods. He likes the map. He thinks it is fun.
+
+"Yes, please," he says.
+
+Ben's mom gives him the map. He folds it and puts it in his pocket. He holds Lily's hand. They smile.
+
+"Can we still play with the map?" Lily says.
+
+"Sure, you can," Lily's mom says. "But only near us. And only with the necklace. The necklace is the treasure. It is special. It is warm. It is yours."
+
+Lily touches the necklace. She feels warm and happy. She nods.

+
+"Ben, come here! Let's play freeze tag!" Sara said. "I will be it and you will run. When I touch you, you have to freeze and not move."
+
+Ben nodded. He liked freeze tag, but he did not like Sara's bossy voice. He ran away from Sara, but she was fast. She touched his arm and said, "Freeze!"
+
+Ben stopped and stood still. He looked around and saw a big table with a lot of food. There were sandwiches, cookies, juice, and salad. Ben liked salad. He saw carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese in the salad. His mouth watered.

+
+"No, Ben! You have to freeze! You can't talk or move!" Sara said. "That is the rule of the game!"
+
+"But Sara, the salad looks so good. And I think it is for us. Look, there is a sign that says, 'Happy Birthday, Sara and Ben!'" Ben said. He pointed to the sign with his finger.

+
+"Maybe it's a real treasure!" Tim said. He wanted to lift the dirt and see.
+
+"No, it's not ours. We should leave it alone," Lily said. She was modest and did not want to take what was not theirs.
+
+But Tim did not listen. He grabbed a stick and started to lift the dirt. He lifted and lifted until he saw something shiny.
+
+"Look, Lily! I found a coin!" he shouted. He reached for the coin, but then he heard a loud growl.
+
+A dog jumped out of the hole. It was angry that Tim had disturbed its hiding place. It barked and snapped at Tim, who dropped the stick and ran away.
+
+Lily followed him, scared and sorry. She wished Tim had listened to her.
+
+The dog chased them until they reached their house. They slammed the door and hid under the bed.
+
+"Are you okay, Tim?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm okay, but I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. We should not have touched the hole. It was not nice," Tim said.
+
+He hugged Lily and said he was sorry. Lily hugged him back and said she forgave him.
+
+They learned their lesson and never played with the big hole again. They were happy with their own modest holes and their pretend treasure.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They dig in the soil and find worms and stones. They laugh and joke with each other.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the garden. The dog is fierce. It barks and growls at them. It has sharp teeth and claws. Lily and Ben are scared. They run to the house and call for help.
+
+"Mom, dad, there is a fierce dog in the garden!" they shout.
+
+Mom and dad come out and see the dog. They are not scared. They know the dog. It is their neighbor's dog. His name is Rex. He is not fierce. He is friendly. He likes to play and joke, too.
+
+"Rex, what are you doing here?" mom asks. "Did you escape from your yard?"
+
+Rex wags his tail and licks mom's hand. He is sorry. He did not mean to scare Lily and Ben. He just wanted to say hello.
+
+Mom and dad explain to Lily and Ben that Rex is not a bad dog. He is a good dog. He is their friend. They invite Rex to play with them in the garden. They give him some water and a bone.
+
+Lily and Ben are not scared anymore. They are happy. They pet Rex and play with him. They dig in the soil and find more worms and stones. They laugh and joke with each other. Rex laughs and jokes with them, too. He is a funny dog. They have fun in the garden.
+Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat lunch. They went to the kitchen and saw Mom making sandwiches.
+
+"Mom, can we have some sandwiches?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, my dear. Just wait a minute. They are almost ready," Mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben waited. They smelled the cheese and ham and bread. They thought the sandwiches would be delicious.
+
+"Mom, can we request something?" Ben said.
+
+"What do you want to request, my sweet?" Mom said.
+
+"Can we have some juice, too?" Ben said.
+
+"Of course, you can. I have some apple juice in the fridge. You can have some with your sandwiches," Mom said.
+
+Mom finished making the sandwiches. She cut them into triangles and put them on a plate. She poured some juice into two cups. She brought the plate and the cups to the table.
+
+"Here you go, Anna and Ben. Enjoy your lunch," Mom said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. You are the best," Anna and Ben said.
+
+They ran to the table and sat on their seats. They picked up their sandwiches and took big bites. They sipped their juice and smiled. The sandwiches and the juice were delicious. They were happy.
+Sam likes to wear yellow. He has a yellow hat, a yellow shirt, and yellow shoes. He thinks yellow is the best color in the world. He wants to have a job that lets him wear yellow all the time.
+
+One day, he sees a big yellow truck on the street. It has a yellow light on top and a yellow sign on the side. It says "School Bus". Sam runs to the truck and asks the driver, "Can I ride with you?"
+
+The driver smiles and says, "Sure, kid. Hop in. I'm going to the school to pick up some kids. Do you go to school?"
+
+Sam shakes his head. He says, "No, I'm too little. But I want to go with you. I like your yellow truck. It's so bright and happy. Is this your job?"
+
+The driver nods. He says, "Yes, this is my job. I drive the school bus every day. I like it too. It's fun and important. I help the kids get to school and back home safely. And I get to wear yellow too. See?" He points to his yellow shirt and hat.
+
+Sam claps his hands. He says, "Wow, you have the best job ever. Can I have a job like you when I grow up?"
+
+The driver laughs and says, "Maybe you can, kid. Maybe you can. But for now, you can be my helper. You can help me greet the kids and check their seats. How does that sound?"
+
+Sam beams. He says, "That sounds great. Thank you, mister. You are very nice. Can I call you Mr. Yellow?"
+
+The driver winks and says, "Sure, kid. You can call me Mr. Yellow. And I'll call you Sam the Yellow Fan. Now, let's go. We have a bus to fill." He starts the engine and drives away. Sam waves to his mom and dad, who are watching from the sidewalk. He is very happy. He has found a new friend and a new dream. He loves yellow.
+Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a pretty blouse in the closet. It was blue and had flowers on it. Lily put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt very attractive.
+
+She went to show her mom, who was in the kitchen. "Mom, look at me! I'm so pretty!" Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "You are very pretty, my dear. But that blouse is too big for you. It might get dirty or torn."
+
+Lily did not want to take off the blouse. She liked it too much. She ran away from mom and hid under the table.
+
+Mom followed her and tried to take off the blouse. "Lily, please, give me the blouse. It's not yours. It's mine."
+
+Lily did not listen. She held on to the blouse and bit mom's hand. "No! It's mine! Mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+Mom was hurt and angry. She pulled Lily out from under the table and spanked her. "Lily, that was very naughty. You don't bite people. You don't take things that are not yours. You have to say sorry and give me the blouse."
+
+Lily cried and said sorry. She gave mom the blouse and hugged her. Mom forgave her and kissed her. "I love you, Lily. But you have to be good and share. Next time, you can ask me if you can wear the blouse. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded and said OK. She learned her lesson and did not bite or take things again. She still liked to play dress-up, but she asked mom first. Mom was happy and proud of her. They played together and had fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. It is red and shiny. They want to try it.
+
+"Can we swing, please?" Lily asks her mom.
+
+"Sure, honey. But you have to pay a price. One coin for one swing," her mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They have no coins. They are sad.
+
+"Maybe we can find some coins on the ground," Ben says.
+
+They look around. They see a man selling ice cream. He has a charming smile. He sees Lily and Ben.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you want some ice cream?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, please. But we have no coins," Lily says.
+
+The man laughs. He gives them two ice cream cones. He says, "These are for you. You don't have to pay. You are very sweet and polite."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They thank the man. They eat their ice cream. They feel cold and good.
+
+They see the swing again. They still want to try it. They have an idea.
+
+They go to the man. They give him their ice cream cones. They say, "These are for you. You don't have to pay. You are very nice and generous."
+
+The man is surprised. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, kids. You are very kind and thoughtful."
+
+He gives them two coins. He says, "These are for you. You can swing as much as you want."
+
+Lily and Ben are very happy. They thank the man again. They run to the swing. They take turns. They swing high and low. They feel free and fun.
+
+They have a wonderful day. They make a new friend. They learn to share and to be grateful. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors. They want to build a big tower with the blocks.
+
+They start to put the blocks on top of each other. They use red blocks, blue blocks, green blocks, and yellow blocks. They make the tower very tall. They are happy.
+
+"Look, Lily, our tower is so big!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is! We are very good at building!" Lily says.
+
+They want to see how tall their tower is. They stand next to it and look up. The tower is taller than them. They smile.
+
+But then, a big wind comes. It blows very hard. It makes the tower shake. The blocks start to fall down. The tower breaks.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, our tower!" Ben cries.
+
+"Ben, watch out!" Lily shouts.
+
+A yellow block falls on Ben's head. It hurts. Ben starts to cry. Lily runs to him and hugs him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, are you okay?" Lily asks.
+
+Ben rubs his head. He stops crying. He looks at Lily.
+
+"I'm okay, Lily, thank you. But our tower is gone. We worked so hard on it." Ben says.
+
+Lily looks at the blocks on the ground. She sees some yellow blocks. She has an idea.
+
+"Ben, don't be sad. We can build another tower. We can use only yellow blocks. Yellow is your favorite color, right?" Lily says.
+
+Ben nods. He likes yellow. He smiles.
+
+"Yes, Lily, that sounds fun. Let's do it. Maybe we can make it even bigger." Ben says.
+
+They pick up the yellow blocks. They start to build another tower. They use only yellow blocks. They make the tower very tall. They are happy.
+
+They see their yellow tower. They see their success. They are proud. They hug each other.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But their favorite place was the big bush. The bush had many branches and leaves that made a secret hideout for them. They pretended to be spies, pirates and superheroes in the bush.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Ben. He saw Tom and Lily playing in the bush and wanted to join them. He asked them nicely, "Can I play with you in the bush?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not know Ben. They liked their bush and did not want to share it. They said, "No, you can't. This is our bush. Go away."
+
+Ben felt sad and lonely. He walked away and sat on a bench. He wished he had some friends to play with.
+
+A lady who was watching the children came over to Ben. She smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Mrs. Lee. I work at the library. Do you like books?"
+
+Ben nodded. He loved books. He said, "Yes, I do. Books are fun and interesting."
+
+Mrs. Lee said, "That's great. I have some books here that you might like. Do you want to read them with me?"
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Mrs. Lee."
+
+They sat on the bench and read some books together. Ben learned new words and facts. He enjoyed the stories and the pictures. He felt happy and smart.
+
+Tom and Lily saw Ben and Mrs. Lee reading books. They were curious. They left their bush and came closer. They heard Ben and Mrs. Lee talking and laughing. They saw Ben and Mrs. Lee showing each other their favorite parts of the books. They looked like they were having a lot of fun.
+
+Tom and Lily felt bored and jealous. They wished they had some books to read. They wished they had someone to talk to. They wished they had been nicer to Ben.
+
+They decided to improve their behavior. They walked over to Ben and Mrs. Lee. They said, "Hi, we're sorry we were mean to you. Can we be your friends?"
+
+Ben and Mrs. Lee looked at them. They smiled and said, "Of course, you can. There's always room for more friends. Do you want to read some books with us?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, we do. Books are fun and interesting."
+
+They sat on the bench and read some books together. They learned new words and facts. They enjoyed the stories and the pictures. They felt happy and smart.
+
+They also played in the bush together. They pretended to be spies, pirates and superheroes in the bush. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They became good friends. They shared their books and their bush. They were popular in the park. Everyone wanted to play with them.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be kind and share with others. You will make new friends and learn new things. You will have more fun and be happier.
+Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play outside. One day, they saw a big melon in their garden. It was green and round and smelled sweet.
+
+"Let's eat it!" Tom said. He ran to the melon and tried to pick it up. But it was too heavy for him.
+
+"Wait for me!" Lily said. She ran to help her brother. Together, they lifted the melon and carried it to the porch.
+
+They found a knife and cut the melon in half. Inside, it was red and juicy and full of seeds. They each took a piece and bit into it. It was the best melon they ever tasted.
+
+"Yum!" Tom said. "This is a lovely melon!"
+
+"Yum!" Lily said. "This is a lovely melon!"
+
+They ate and ate until they were full. Then they looked at the sky. It was blue and clear and full of birds.
+
+"Look!" Tom said. "The birds are soaring high!"
+
+"Look!" Lily said. "The birds are soaring high!"
+
+They watched the birds fly and sing and flap their wings. They wished they could soar like them.
+
+"Let's pretend we are birds!" Tom said. He stood up and spread his arms. He made a sound like a bird.
+
+"Let's pretend we are birds!" Lily said. She stood up and spread her arms. She made a sound like a bird.
+
+They ran around the porch, flapping their arms and making bird sounds. They felt happy and free.
+
+Their mom came out and saw them. She smiled and said, "What are you doing, my little birds?"
+
+"We are soaring high, mom!" Tom said.
+
+"We are soaring high, mom!" Lily said.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "That's wonderful, my little birds. But remember, you are also my little children. And I love you very much."
+
+"We love you too, mom!" Tom said.
+
+"We love you too, mom!" Lily said.
+
+They hugged mom and gave her a piece of melon. They shared their lovely melon with mom and thanked her for growing it. They learned that it is good to use their imagination, but also to appreciate what they have.
+Lily liked to keep pretty things. She had a box full of shiny stones, colorful feathers, and sparkly stickers. She liked to look at them and touch them and make them into necklaces and bracelets.
+
+One day, she saw a new thing in the garden. It was a flower with many petals and many colors. It looked like a rainbow. Lily wanted to keep it. She thought it would look nice in her box. She picked the flower and ran to her room.
+
+But when she got there, she felt guilty. She remembered that Mommy had told her not to pick the flowers. She said they were for the bees and the birds and the season. She said they would make the garden happy and beautiful. Lily felt bad. She had made the garden sad and less beautiful.
+
+She decided to take the flower back. She ran to the garden and looked for the spot where she had picked it. But she could not find it. There were many flowers, but none like the one she had. She felt more guilty. She had lost the flower and hurt the garden.
+
+She started to cry. She did not know what to do. Then she heard a voice. It was Mommy. She had seen Lily run to the garden. She asked her what was wrong. Lily told her everything. She said she was sorry. She said she wanted to keep the flower, but she also wanted to make the garden happy.
+
+Mommy hugged her. She said she was proud of her for telling the truth and for wanting to fix her mistake. She said she understood that she liked to keep pretty things, but some things were better to share and enjoy with others. She said the flower was a gift from the season, and it would come back next year. She said they could take a picture of it and put it in her box, so she could remember it.
+
+Lily smiled. She felt better. She said thank you to Mommy and to the flower and to the season. She said she would keep them in her heart.
+Lily and Ben love to play baseball in the park. They have a big ball and a small bat. They take turns to hit the ball and run. Sometimes the ball goes very far and they have to look for it.
+
+One day, the ball goes over the fence and into the pond. Lily and Ben are sad. They cannot reach the ball. They see a duck swimming near the ball. They call to the duck.
+
+"Please, duck, can you help us? Can you bring us our ball?" they ask.
+
+The duck looks at them and quacks. It swims to the ball and pushes it with its beak. The ball moves closer to the edge of the pond. Lily and Ben run to the fence and stretch their arms. They can touch the ball.
+
+"Thank you, duck, you are very kind. You rescued our ball!" they say.
+
+The duck quacks again and swims away. Lily and Ben are happy. They hug the ball and each other. They go back to the park and play some more. They think the duck is lovely. They hope to see it again.
+Sara and Ben wanted to decorate their room for Easter. They had many pastel eggs, stickers, and ribbons. They also had a big basket with a fluffy bunny inside.
+
+They put the eggs on the shelves, the stickers on the walls, and the ribbons on the door. They made their room look very pretty and colorful. They were happy with their work.
+
+But they forgot to hide the basket with the bunny. Their mom came in to check on them. She saw the basket and smiled.
+
+"Wow, what a lovely surprise!" she said. "Did you make this for me?"
+
+Sara and Ben looked at each other. They were nervous. They wanted to keep the bunny for themselves. They did not know what to say.
+
+"Um, yes, mom, we did," Sara said.
+
+"Thank you, my sweeties, you are so thoughtful," mom said. She hugged them and took the basket. "I will put this in the living room, so everyone can see it."
+
+Sara and Ben felt sad. They wished they had hidden the basket better. They hoped mom would let them play with the bunny later. They learned a lesson: next time, they would decorate more carefully.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big slide. Sara wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. He thinks the slide is too high and fast.
+
+Sara says, "Don't be scared, Ben. I will support you. We can go on the slide together. It will be fun." She holds Ben's hand and helps him climb the steps. Ben feels a little better, but he still looks nervous.
+
+They reach the top of the slide. Sara says, "Ready, Ben? One, two, three, go!" She pushes them down the slide. Ben feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He hears Sara laugh and he laughs too. They go faster and faster until they reach the bottom.
+
+They land on the soft grass. Sara hugs Ben and says, "You did it, Ben! You are brave. Wasn't that fun?" Ben nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, Sara. Thank you for supporting me. You are a good sister. Can we go again?"
+
+They run back to the steps. They see their mom and dad waiting for them. Mom and dad clap and cheer. They are proud of Sara and Ben. They say, "Good job, kids. You are both brave and kind. We love you."
+
+Sara and Ben love their mom and dad too. They give them big hugs and kisses. Then they go on the slide again and again. They have a lot of fun. They are not scared anymore. They are happy.
+
+The end.
+Timmy was a spoiled boy who always wanted more toys. He had a big room full of cars, trains, dolls, and books, but he was never happy. He always cried and whined when his mommy and daddy said no to him.
+
+One day, he saw a shiny chain on his daddy's desk. He wanted to play with it, but his daddy said it was not a toy. It was a special chain that his grandpa gave him. He told Timmy to leave it alone and go play with his own toys. But Timmy did not listen. He waited until his daddy was busy on the phone, and then he crawled to the desk and grabbed the chain.
+
+He ran to his room with the chain and locked the door. He laughed and thought he was very clever. He wrapped the chain around his neck and pretended he was a king. He looked at himself in the mirror and smiled. He did not notice that the chain was too tight and he could not breathe.
+
+He started to feel dizzy and scared. He tried to pull the chain off, but it was stuck. He cried and banged on the door, but his daddy could not hear him. He fell on the floor and gasped for air. He wished he had listened to his daddy and played with his own toys. But it was too late. He closed his eyes and never woke up.
+Lily and Ben were playing with chalk on the sidewalk. They liked to draw big pictures of flowers, cars, and animals. They had many colors of chalk to choose from.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a blue bird!" Ben said, showing his drawing to his sister.
+
+"That's nice, Ben. I made a pink flower!" Lily said, pointing to her drawing.
+
+They were having fun, but they were also restless. They wanted to do something else. They looked around and saw a big rock near the fence.
+
+"Let's go see the rock!" Ben said, grabbing his chalk.
+
+"OK!" Lily said, following him.
+
+They ran to the rock and climbed on it. It was hard and rough. They decided to draw on it with their chalk.
+
+"Look, I can make stripes on the rock!" Ben said, rubbing his chalk on the rock.
+
+"Me too!" Lily said, doing the same.
+
+But the rock was not like the sidewalk. It was not smooth and flat. It was bumpy and sharp. The chalk did not make nice lines on the rock. It made scratches and dust.
+
+And soon, the chalk started to break. Ben's blue chalk snapped in half. Lily's pink chalk crumbled in her hand.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben said, looking at his broken chalk.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said, looking at her broken chalk.
+
+They were sad. They liked their chalk. They wanted to draw more pictures. But their chalk was broken. They could not draw anymore.
+
+They got off the rock and went back to the sidewalk. They looked at their drawings. They were still there. They were still colorful and pretty.
+
+They smiled. They still had their drawings. They could still enjoy them.
+
+They hugged each other. They were not sad anymore. They were happy.
+Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big squash in the garden. It is green and round and heavy.
+
+"Wow, look at the squash!" Sam says. "It is so big!"
+
+"Can we show it to Mom?" Mia asks. "She likes squash."
+
+"Okay, let's show it to Mom," Sam agrees. They try to lift the squash, but it is too heavy for them. They pull and push, but the squash does not move.
+
+"Oh no, we can't show it to Mom," Mia says. "It is too heavy. I am sad."
+
+"Me too," Sam says. "I am sad."
+
+They sit on the ground and look at the squash. They feel sad.
+
+Then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She comes to the garden and sees them.
+
+"Hello, Sam and Mia," Mom says. "What are you doing?"
+
+"We are trying to show you the squash," Sam says. "But it is too heavy. We can't lift it. We are sad."
+
+Mom smiles. She hugs them and says, "Don't be sad. You are very strong and brave. You tried your best. I am proud of you."
+
+"Really?" Mia asks.
+
+"Really," Mom says. "And you know what? I have a surprise for you. Come with me."
+
+Mom takes them to the kitchen. She shows them a big pie. It is made of squash. It smells good.
+
+"Look, this is the squash pie," Mom says. "I made it for you. You can have some for lunch. Do you like it?"
+
+Sam and Mia smile. They are happy.
+
+"Yes, we like it!" they say. "Thank you, Mom!"
+
+They hug Mom and say, "You are the best!"
+
+They eat the squash pie and enjoy it. They are not sad anymore. They are happy.
+Jenny and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big jar of peanuts in the kitchen. They decided to eat some, but they did not ask their mom first.
+
+"Yum, these are good!" said Jenny, as she took a handful of peanuts.
+
+"Can I have some too?" asked Tom.
+
+"Sure, here you go," said Jenny, as she gave him some peanuts.
+
+They ate and ate, until they felt very full. But they did not notice that they had eaten almost all the peanuts in the jar.
+
+Suddenly, they heard their mom coming. They quickly hid the jar behind the couch and ran to their room.
+
+"Hi, kids, how was your day?" asked their mom, as she entered the living room.
+
+"Fine, mom," said Jenny and Tom, in a low voice.
+
+Their mom looked around and saw the empty jar behind the couch. She picked it up and frowned.
+
+"Who ate all the peanuts?" she asked, in a stern voice.
+
+Jenny and Tom did not answer. They felt guilty and scared.
+
+"Did you eat all the peanuts?" their mom asked again, louder.
+
+Jenny and Tom still did not answer. They hoped their mom would go away.
+
+"Answer me, please. Did you eat all the peanuts?" their mom asked, for the third time.
+
+Jenny and Tom knew they could not lie. They came out of their room and looked at their mom.
+
+"Yes, mom, we ate all the peanuts," they said, in a small voice.
+
+"Why did you do that? You know you have to ask me before you eat anything. And you know you should not eat too much. Peanuts are good, but only in moderation. You could get sick or have an allergy. And you should share with others. How do you think your dad will feel when he comes home and finds no peanuts for his snack?" their mom said, in a sad voice.
+
+Jenny and Tom felt very sorry. They realized they had been greedy and selfish. They had not thought about their mom or their dad. They had only thought about themselves.
+
+"We are sorry, mom. We were hungry and we liked the peanuts. We did not mean to eat them all. We did not think about you or dad. We were wrong. Please forgive us," they said, in a sincere voice.
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She was glad they had told the truth and apologized.
+
+"I forgive you, kids. I love you very much. But you have to learn from your mistake. Next time, you have to ask me before you eat anything. And you have to eat only a little bit. And you have to share with others. Do you understand?" she said, in a gentle voice.
+
+"Yes, mom, we understand. We will not repeat our mistake. We will ask you, eat a little bit, and share with others. Thank you, mom," they said, in a grateful voice.
+
+Their mom gave them a kiss and a jolly smile. She was proud of them for being honest and sorry. She was happy they had learned their lesson.
+
+The end.
+Tom liked to climb. He climbed on chairs, on tables, on beds, on trees. He climbed so much that his mom said, "Tom, you are a monkey!"
+
+One day, Tom saw a big hill. He wanted to climb it. He put on his shoes, his hat, and his backpack. He said to his mom, "Mom, I want to climb the hill. Can I go?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you can go, but be careful. The hill is high and steep. And don't forget to buckle your backpack. It has your water and your snack."
+
+Tom said, "OK, mom. I will buckle my backpack. And I will be careful. Bye, mom!"
+
+Tom ran to the hill. He started to climb. He climbed over rocks, over grass, over dirt. He climbed and climbed and climbed. He was happy.
+
+But then, he felt something. His legs felt weak. His arms felt weak. His mouth felt dry. He looked up. He was not at the top yet. He looked down. He was far from the bottom. He felt scared.
+
+He remembered his mom. He remembered his backpack. He reached for his backpack. He tried to open it. But he could not. The buckle was stuck. He pulled and pulled and pulled. But the buckle did not move. He felt more scared.
+
+He cried, "Mom! Mom! Help me! I can't open my backpack! I can't climb anymore! I'm stuck!"
+
+Mom heard him. She ran to the hill. She saw him. She climbed to him. She hugged him. She said, "Tom, don't cry. I'm here. I will help you. Let me see your backpack."
+
+She took his backpack. She pushed the buckle. It opened. She gave him water. She gave him a snack. She said, "Tom, you are brave. You climbed a lot. But you need to rest. You need to drink. You need to eat. Then we can go down together."
+
+Tom drank. He ate. He felt better. He said, "Mom, thank you. I love you. I'm sorry I climbed too much. I was not careful. I was not a monkey. I was a silly boy."

+Mom said, "Tom, I love you too. You are not a silly boy. You are a curious boy. You like to explore. That's good. But you need to listen to me. You need to buckle your backpack. You need to stop when you feel weak. You need to be safe. OK?"
+
+Tom said, "OK, mom. I will listen to you. I will buckle my backpack. I will stop when I feel weak. I will be safe. Can we go down now?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, we can go down now. Hold my hand. We will go slowly. We will enjoy the view. We will have fun."
+
+Tom held her hand. They went down. They enjoyed the view. They had fun. They reached the bottom. They smiled. They hugged. They went home.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the garden. She saw a hole in the ground and wanted to see what was inside. She put her hand in the hole and felt something soft and furry. She pulled it out and saw a mole.
+
+"Hello, mole!" Lily said. "Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The mole was grumpy and did not like to be disturbed. He bit Lily's finger and made her cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily shouted. "You are a mean mole! Go away!"
+
+The mole crawled back into the hole and left Lily alone. Lily ran to her mom and showed her the bite. Her mom was worried and took her to the doctor.
+
+The doctor said that the mole had rabies and that Lily needed a shot. Lily hated shots and screamed and kicked. The shot hurt a lot and made her arm swell. Lily was very unhappy and wished she had never found the mole.
+Lily was a popular girl in her class. She had many friends who liked to play with her. She was good at sharing, singing and drawing. She also had a special ring that she wore on her finger. It was a gift from her grandma, who said it was magic.
+
+One day, Lily and her friends were playing in the park. They saw a big slide that looked fun. Lily wanted to go first, but so did Tom, who was also popular. They both ran to the slide, but Tom got there before Lily. He said, "I go first, you go second."
+
+Lily felt angry. She wanted to go first, too. She looked at her ring and remembered what her grandma said. She said, "If you turn the ring three times, you can make a wish." Lily thought, "I wish Tom would let me go first." She turned the ring three times on her finger and waited.
+
+But nothing happened. Tom still went on the slide and slid down. He laughed and said, "That was fun! Now you can go, Lily." Lily felt confused. She turned the ring three more times and wished again. But still nothing happened. Tom went on the slide again and again, and Lily had to wait.
+
+Lily felt sad. She wondered why her ring did not work. She thought maybe her grandma was wrong, or maybe she did not turn it right. She took off her ring and looked at it. She saw that it had a small crack on it. She felt sorry for breaking her grandma's gift. She put the ring back on her finger and hoped it would be okay.
+
+Then she heard a voice behind her. It was Anna, who was also her friend. She said, "Hi, Lily. Do you want to play with me? I have a new doll that I can share with you. She is very pretty and has a dress and a hat." Lily smiled and said, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Anna. You are very nice." She followed Anna to the bench where she had her doll. She forgot about the slide and the ring. She was happy to play with Anna and her doll. She thought, "Maybe the ring is not magic, but Anna is."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the mall with Mom and Dad. The mall has many shops and toys and people.
+
+One day, they see a big sign at the mall. It says: "Talent Show for Kids". Anna and Ben want to join the show. They can sing and dance and make funny faces.
+
+"Can we be in the show, Mom?" Anna asks.
+
+"Can we, Dad?" Ben adds.
+
+Mom and Dad smile and nod. "Yes, you can. But you have to practice first. Do you have a song and a dance ready?"
+
+Anna and Ben think for a moment. They remember a song they learned at school. It is about a rainbow and a sun. They also remember a dance they learned from TV. It is about jumping and clapping and spinning.
+
+"We have a song and a dance, Mom!" Anna says.
+
+"We do, Dad!" Ben says.
+
+"Great! Let's go home and practice. Then we can come back to the mall and sign up for the show." Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They hug Mom and Dad and run to the car.
+
+At home, they practice their song and dance in the living room. Mom and Dad watch and cheer. They encourage Anna and Ben to sing louder and dance faster and smile bigger.
+
+"You are doing great, Anna!" Mom says.
+
+"You are awesome, Ben!" Dad says.
+
+Anna and Ben feel proud and confident. They practice more and more until they know their song and dance by heart.
+
+The next day, they go back to the mall with Mom and Dad. They sign up for the talent show and get a number. They wait for their turn to go on stage.
+
+They see other kids perform. Some sing, some dance, some play instruments, some tell jokes. Anna and Ben clap and laugh and enjoy the show.
+
+Soon, it is their turn. They go on stage and see a big crowd. They see Mom and Dad in the front row. They wave and smile.
+
+They start their song and dance. They sing about the rainbow and the sun. They jump and clap and spin. They make funny faces and gestures. They have fun and feel happy.
+
+The crowd loves them. They clap and cheer and whistle. They give Anna and Ben a big applause.
+
+Anna and Ben finish their song and dance. They bow and thank the crowd. They run to Mom and Dad and hug them.
+
+"You were amazing, Anna!" Mom says.
+
+"You were fantastic, Ben!" Dad says.
+
+Anna and Ben are overjoyed. They feel successful and proud. They did their best and had a blast.
+
+They are the stars of the show.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many trees. They wanted to see what was on the other side.
+
+They climbed the hill and ran through the trees. They saw a red house. It was very old and had no windows or doors. They wondered who lived there.
+
+They went closer to the house. They heard a noise. It sounded like a growl. They were scared. They saw a big dog. It was black and had sharp teeth. It was guarding the house.
+
+They ran away from the house and the dog. They went back to the park. They told their mom what they saw. She said they were brave, but they should not go near the red house again. She said it was dangerous and nobody lived there.
+
+They nodded and agreed. They played in the park some more. They did not want to discover the red house again. They were happy and safe.
+Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat pasta for lunch. Mom said pasta was cheap and easy to make. She boiled water in a big pot and put some pasta in it. She told Lily and Ben to wait in the living room and not touch the pot.
+
+Lily and Ben were bored. They saw a big bag of pasta on the counter. They wanted to play with it. They opened the bag and poured some pasta on the floor. They laughed and threw pasta at each other. They made a big mess.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the pasta scattered all over the floor. She was angry. She said, "Lily and Ben, what have you done? You wasted the pasta and made a big mess. Now we have no pasta for lunch. You have to clean up this mess and say sorry."
+
+Lily and Ben felt bad. They said sorry to Mom and helped her clean up the pasta. They learned their lesson. They did not play with food again. They ate bread and cheese for lunch. They wished they had pasta.
+Lily and Ben liked to play pirates in the backyard. They had a big box that was their ship, and a blue blanket that was the sea. They also had a rope that was their anchor, and a flag that was their treasure.
+
+One day, they decided to mail a letter to their grandma, who lived far away. They wrote "We love you, Grandma" on a piece of paper, and drew a picture of their pirate ship. They put the letter in an envelope, and looked for a stamp.
+
+"Where are the stamps, Lily?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe Mom has some," Lily said.
+
+They ran inside the house, and asked Mom for a stamp. Mom smiled, and gave them one. She also gave them a sticker of a pirate, and said, "You are very creative, kids. I'm sure Grandma will love your letter."
+
+They thanked Mom, and ran back to the backyard. They put the stamp and the sticker on the envelope, and looked for a mailbox.
+
+"Where is the mailbox, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe we can make one," Ben said.
+
+They looked around, and saw their rope and their anchor. They had an idea. They tied the rope to the anchor, and threw it over the fence. They said, "This is our mailbox. The anchor will hold our letter until the mailman comes."
+
+They put their letter on the rope, and pushed it down until it reached the anchor. They were very proud of their mailbox.
+
+They went back to their ship, and sailed away. They hoped Grandma would get their letter soon. They didn't know that the mailman would not see their letter, because it was hidden by the fence. They also didn't know that the next day, a big storm would come, and blow their letter away. They would never find out what happened to their letter, or if Grandma ever saw it. But they would always remember their pirate adventure, and their creative mailbox.
+Sara and Ben love to play in the park. They like to run, slide, swing and climb. They also like to look for pebbles. Pebbles are small, hard and shiny. They have different colors and shapes.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben found a very special pebble. It was round and smooth and had a heart on it. Sara said, "Look, Ben, this pebble has a heart. It is a love pebble. It is very good."
+
+Ben said, "Wow, Sara, you are right. It is a love pebble. It is very good. Can I see it?"
+
+Sara said, "Yes, Ben, you can see it. But you have to be careful. It is very precious."
+
+Ben said, "OK, Sara, I will be careful. I will not drop it or lose it."
+
+Sara gave the pebble to Ben. He held it in his hand and looked at it. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Sara. This pebble is very good. I love it. And I love you. You are my best friend."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "You are welcome, Ben. I love you too. You are my best friend. Can we share the pebble?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, Sara, we can share the pebble. We can take turns to keep it. And we can show it to our mom and dad. They will like it too."
+
+Sara and Ben hugged and kissed. They put the pebble in their pocket and ran to their mom and dad. They were very happy. They had found a love pebble. And they had each other. They were very good.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to gaze at the big pots and pans, and touch the shiny handles. Sometimes, their mom would let them help her cook yummy things, like cookies and soup.
+
+One day, mom was busy in the living room, and Anna and Ben were bored. They saw a big cake on the counter, with pink frosting and sprinkles. It looked so yummy, they wanted to taste it.
+
+"Let's have some cake," said Anna.
+
+"But mom said no," said Ben.
+
+"Mom won't know," said Anna. "Just a little bite."
+
+She reached for the handle of the knife, and tried to cut a slice. But the knife was sharp, and she cut her finger. She cried out loud, and dropped the knife.
+
+Mom heard the noise, and ran to the kitchen. She saw the cake, the knife, and the blood. She was angry and worried.
+
+"Anna, Ben, what did you do?" she asked.
+
+"We wanted some cake," said Anna, sobbing.
+
+"But I told you not to touch the knife, or the cake," said mom. "The knife is dangerous, and the cake is for grandma's birthday. You were naughty and greedy, and now you are hurt and sorry."
+
+She took Anna to the bathroom, and washed and bandaged her finger. She hugged her, and said, "I love you, but you have to listen to me. I know what is good and bad for you. Next time, ask me before you touch something in the kitchen."
+
+Anna nodded, and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you too."
+
+Ben also said he was sorry, and hugged mom. Mom forgave them, and said, "Let's go and make some cards for grandma. She will love them more than the cake."
+
+The twins learned their lesson, and never touched the knife or the cake again. They made beautiful cards for grandma, and gave them to her with a big smile. Grandma was happy, and gave them a slice of cake each. It was yummy, but not as yummy as mom's love.
+Lila and Ben love to sail. They have a small boat with a red bow. They like to go to the lake with their dad and sail on the water. They see fish, ducks and frogs. They feel the wind and the sun.
+
+One day, they meet a new friend. His name is Sam. He has a big boat with a blue bow. He asks them if they want to sail with him. Lila and Ben say yes. They are happy to make a new friend.
+
+They sail with Sam and have fun. They play games, sing songs and tell jokes. Sam's boat is very lively. It has a horn, a flag and a bell. Lila and Ben like Sam's boat. They think it is cool.
+
+But they also love their own boat. They thank Sam for the sail and say goodbye. They go back to their dad and their boat. They hug their boat and say, "You are our favorite boat. You are small, but you are brave and fast. We love you, boat."
+
+They sail back to the shore with their dad. They are tired, but happy. They had a great day. They learned something new. They can sail with different boats and make new friends. But they always come back to their own boat. Because their boat is special. It is their boat.
+The prince liked to play with his toys in his room. He had many toys, but his favorite was a big dragon. The dragon was green and had wings and teeth, but it was harmless. It did not bite or scratch the prince, it only made funny noises.
+
+One day, the prince's sister came to his room. She was older and did not like toys. She saw the dragon and said, "What a silly toy! It is ugly and scary. I will destroy it!" She grabbed the dragon and threw it on the floor. The dragon broke into pieces.
+
+The prince was very sad and angry. He cried and shouted, "No! You are mean and bad! You destroyed my dragon! It was my friend! Go away!" He ran to his dragon and tried to put it back together, but he could not.
+
+The sister felt sorry for the prince. She did not know he loved the dragon so much. She said, "I am sorry, prince. I did not mean to hurt you. I was just joking. Can I help you fix your dragon?"
+
+The prince looked at his sister. He saw that she was sorry. He said, "OK, sister. You can help me. But you have to be gentle and careful. The dragon is harmless, but it is also fragile." He gave her a piece of the dragon and they started to fix it together.
+Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play on the farm with the animals. One day, they see a big cow in the field. The cow is black and white and has a bell around her neck.
+
+"Look, a cow!" Sam says. "Can we pet her?"
+
+Ben nods. "Yes, let's go. Maybe she will give us some milk."
+
+They run to the cow and try to touch her. But the cow does not like it. She moos loudly and shakes her head. She kicks her legs and runs away.
+
+"Hey, come back!" Ben shouts. "We just want to be your friends."
+
+But the cow does not listen. She runs to the fence and jumps over it. She runs to the road, where there are many cars and trucks.
+
+"Oh no!" Sam says. "The cow is in danger. She might get hit by a car. We need to help her."
+
+They run after the cow, but they are too slow. The cow is faster and runs across the road. The cars and trucks honk and brake. The drivers are angry and scared.
+
+"Stop, cow, stop!" Sam and Ben yell. "You are not safe there. Come back to the farm."
+
+But the cow does not stop. She runs to the woods, where there are many trees and animals. She thinks she is free and happy.
+
+Sam and Ben are sad and worried. They do not know what to do. They need to find the cow and bring her back. They need to tell their dad what happened. They hope the cow is okay.
+
+They look around and see a man on a bike. He is wearing a helmet and a bright vest. He is alert and smart. He sees the cow and the boys.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing here?" he asks. "Do you know that cow?"
+
+Sam and Ben nod. "Yes, she is from our farm. She ran away and we followed her. But we can't catch her. She is too fast and wild."
+
+The man smiles. "Don't worry, I can help you. I have a rope and a whistle. I can call the cow and tie her to my bike. Then we can take her back to your farm. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+Sam and Ben smile. "Yes, please. Thank you, mister. You are very kind and brave."
+
+They get on the bike with the man. He blows his whistle and waves his rope. The cow hears him and stops. She is curious and tired. She comes closer and lets him tie her to the bike.
+
+"Good girl, cow," the man says. "You are safe now. Let's go home."
+
+They ride back to the farm. The cow moos softly and follows the bike. Sam and Ben are happy and relieved. They hug the cow and the man.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you," they say. "You saved the cow and us. You are our hero."
+
+The man laughs. "You're welcome, kids. You are very brave and caring. You love the cow and the farm. You are good friends."
+
+They reach the farm and see their dad. He is surprised and glad. He sees the cow and the man and the boys.
+
+"What happened?" he asks. "Where did you go? How did you find the cow?"
+
+Sam and Ben tell him everything. They tell him how the cow ran away and how the man helped them. They tell him how they learned a lesson.
+
+"We are sorry, dad," they say. "We did not mean to scare the cow. We just wanted to pet her. But we learned that we need to be gentle and respectful with the animals. We need to listen to them and watch them. We need to keep them safe and happy."
+
+Dad smiles and hugs them. "I'm proud of you, boys. You did the right thing. You helped the cow and the man. You are good sons."
+
+He thanks the man and gives him some milk and cheese. He invites him to stay for dinner. He is grateful and friendly.
+
+They all go inside the house. They eat and talk and laugh. They are a big family. The cow is in the barn. She is calm and warm. She has a new friend. She is a happy cow.
+Sara was a girl who liked to draw. She had many colors and papers to make pictures. She liked to draw flowers, because they were pretty and smelled good. She drew big flowers, small flowers, red flowers, yellow flowers and more.
+
+One day, she saw a new flower in the garden. It was very different from the other flowers. It was white and shiny, and it had many shapes and lines. It looked like a modern flower, Sara thought. She wanted to draw it, so she ran to get her colors and papers.
+
+She started to draw the modern flower, but it was hard. She could not make the shapes and lines look right. She tried many times, but she was not happy with her pictures. She got angry and sad, and she threw away her papers. She did not want to draw anymore.
+
+Then, she heard a voice. It was the modern flower. It said, "Why are you angry and sad, Sara? I like your pictures. They are very creative and beautiful. You have a gift for drawing."
+
+Sara was surprised. She said, "But you are so different from the other flowers. I can not draw you well. You are too hard for me."
+
+The modern flower said, "But I am not better than the other flowers. I am just different. And you are not worse than the other flowers. You are just different. You have your own style and vision. You should not give up on your drawing. You should rest and try again. You will find a way to express yourself."
+
+Sara listened to the modern flower. She felt better. She said, "Thank you, modern flower. You are very kind and wise. I will rest and try again. Maybe I can draw you in a new way, that shows how I see you."
+
+The modern flower smiled. It said, "You are welcome, Sara. You are very brave and talented. I am sure you will make a wonderful picture. And I will be happy to see it."
+
+Sara smiled too. She picked up her papers and colors, and went to rest. She learned a lesson from the modern flower. She learned that being different is not bad, and that she should not give up on her dreams. She learned to appreciate her own gift, and to respect the gifts of others. She learned to be happy with herself, and to make others happy too.
+Ben and Lily like to make pizza with Mom. They help Mom to roll the dough and put sauce and cheese on it. Mom says they can add some toppings too. Ben likes pepperoni and Lily likes olives.
+
+"Can I have some pepperoni, please?" Ben asks Mom.
+
+"Sure, here you go. But don't cover the whole pizza with it, leave some space for Lily's olives," Mom says.
+
+"Okay, Mom. Lily, do you want some pepperoni too?" Ben asks his sister.
+
+"No, thank you. I only like olives. They are round and black and salty," Lily says.
+
+"Okay, then I will give you some olives. But don't cover the whole pizza with them, leave some space for the cheese," Ben says.
+
+"Okay, Ben. Thank you for being friendly and sharing," Lily says.
+
+They finish putting the toppings on the pizza and Mom puts it in the oven. They wait for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden. Mom takes the pizza out and cuts it into slices.
+
+"Wow, it smells so good. Can we eat it now, Mom?" Ben and Lily ask.
+
+"Yes, you can. But be careful, it's hot. And don't forget to wash your hands first," Mom says.
+
+They wash their hands and sit at the table. They each take a slice of pizza and enjoy their yummy meal. They are happy and proud of their pizza. They thank Mom for letting them help and giving them a hug. They love pizza and they love Mom.
+Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a deer with big horns and brown fur. They wanted to get closer and touch it.
+
+"Look, a deer!" Tom said. "Let's go and say hello."
+
+"Okay, but be quiet," Anna said. "We don't want to scare it."
+
+They stepped slowly and softly towards the deer, trying not to make any noise. The deer was eating some grass and did not see them. Tom and Anna were very excited and curious.
+
+They were almost near the deer when Tom stepped on a twig. It snapped loudly and the deer heard it. The deer looked up and saw Tom and Anna. It was scared and ran away.
+
+"Oops, sorry, deer!" Tom said. "We didn't mean to scare you."
+
+Anna was sad and angry. She turned to Tom and said, "Tom, you were too loud. You scared the deer away. Now we can't play with it."
+
+Tom felt bad and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't see the twig. I wanted to play with the deer too."
+
+They looked at each other and hugged. They learned that they should be careful and respectful when they meet new animals. They decided to go back home and tell their mom about the deer. They hoped to see it again someday.
+Lily loved waffles. She liked to eat them with butter and honey. But today, she had to wait for her waffle. Her mom was busy on the phone. She told Lily to be patient.
+
+Lily tried to be patient. She played with her doll. She read a book. She sang a song. But she was still hungry. She wanted her waffle now.
+
+She saw the waffle maker on the counter. It had a red light. That meant it was hot. But Lily did not care. She reached for the waffle maker. She wanted to make her own waffle.
+
+But her mom saw her. She said, "No, Lily! That is dangerous! You could burn yourself! You have to wait for me. I will make you a waffle when I am done. Do not touch the waffle maker. I do not permit it."
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She did not like to wait. She did not like to be told no. She cried and stomped her feet. She said, "But I want my waffle! I want it now!"
+
+Her mom sighed. She hung up the phone. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I know you are hungry. But you have to listen to me. The waffle maker is not a toy. It is for grown-ups only. You have to be patient and safe. I will make you a waffle now. But you have to promise me you will never touch the waffle maker again. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "OK, mom. I promise. I'm sorry. I love you."
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's make a waffle together. You can help me put the butter and honey on it. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily smiled too. She said, "That sounds good, mom. Thank you."
+
+They hugged and went to the kitchen. Lily was happy. She learned to be patient and safe. And she got to eat her waffle. It was delicious.
+Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But their favorite thing was to ride their bikes.
+
+One day, they decided to ride their bikes to the other side of the park, where they had never been before. They wanted to see what was there. Maybe they would find a mystery.
+
+They rode their bikes along the path, past the trees and the flowers. They saw some birds and some squirrels. They said hello to them. They kept riding until they reached a big gate. The gate was closed and had a sign on it. The sign had some words on it, but Anna and Ben could not read them.
+
+"What do you think it says?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it says 'Do not enter' or 'Danger' or 'Keep out'."
+
+"Maybe it says 'Welcome' or 'Fun' or 'Adventure'," Anna said.
+
+They looked at each other. They were curious, but they were also worried. They did not know what was behind the gate. Maybe it was something good, or maybe it was something bad.
+
+"Should we open the gate and see?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe we should go back and ask our moms."
+
+"Maybe we should be brave and find out," Anna said.
+
+They looked at the gate again. They wondered what to do. They wanted to ride their bikes and solve the mystery, but they also wanted to be safe and smart.
+
+What do you think they did?
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the forest behind their house. They knew there was an ancient house made of wood in the forest, but their mom and dad told them not to go near it. They said it was dangerous and scary.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily were bored and curious. They decided to sneak out of their house and go to the forest. They walked and walked until they saw the ancient house. It was big and dark and had broken windows and doors. Tom and Lily felt a little afraid, but they wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They went to the door and pushed it open. It made a loud creaking sound. They stepped inside and saw a lot of dust and cobwebs and old things. They saw a table, a chair, a lamp, a book, and a picture. They wanted to touch them and see what they were.
+
+"Look, Lily, a book!" Tom said. He picked up the book and opened it. It had strange words and pictures that he could not read. He saw a picture of a man with a long beard and a hat. He looked mean and angry.
+
+"Tom, don't touch that!" Lily said. She felt something was wrong. She saw a picture on the wall. It was the same man as in the book. He had a sign that said "Do not disturb". He looked like he was watching them.
+
+"Who cares?" Tom said. He turned the page and saw another picture. It was a picture of a big black cat with yellow eyes. It looked like it was ready to jump.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw the cat. It was real and alive. It had escaped from the book. It was angry and hungry. It wanted to eat them.
+
+"Run!" Lily screamed. She grabbed Tom's hand and pulled him. They ran to the door and tried to open it. It was stuck. The cat was behind them. It was getting closer and closer.
+
+They felt a rush of fear. They kicked and pushed the door with all their strength. They managed to open it and ran out of the house. They ran and ran until they reached their house. They slammed the door behind them and locked it. They were safe.
+
+They hugged each other and cried. They were sorry they had disobeyed their mom and dad. They learned their lesson. They never went to the ancient house again. They never saw the cat again. They hoped it went back to the book. They hoped the man with the beard and the hat did not find them. They hoped they did not disturb him.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys of different colors and shapes. Sometimes they sort their toys by color or shape. They think it is fun.
+
+One day, they find a shiny coin on the floor. It is copper. It is round and has a face on it. They both want the coin. They start to fight over it.
+
+"Give me the coin! It is mine!" Lila says.
+
+"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Ben says.
+
+They pull and tug on the coin. They do not share. They do not listen. They are very angry.
+
+Mom hears them fighting. She is busy. She is making lunch. She does not like the noise. She comes to see what is wrong.
+
+"What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" Mom asks.
+
+They both point at the coin. They both say it is theirs. They do not stop fighting.
+
+Mom is not happy. She takes the coin away. She says they cannot play with it. She says they have to go to their room. She says they have to learn to share and be nice.
+
+Lila and Ben are sad. They do not have the coin. They do not have their toys. They do not have fun. They wish they did not fight. They wish they sorted their toys instead.
+Anna is a big girl. She goes to school with her friends. She likes to learn new things and play with toys. Today, she has an exam. An exam is when the teacher asks you questions and you have to answer them.

+Anna is not scared of the exam. She studied hard and knows the answers. She speaks to her friend Tom before the exam. "Are you ready for the exam, Tom?" she asks. "Yes, I am, Anna," Tom says. "I hope we do well and make the teacher happy."
+
+The exam starts. The teacher gives each child a paper with pictures and words. Anna looks at her paper. She sees a cat, a dog, a ball, and a book. She knows what they are. She writes the words under the pictures. She speaks the words out loud. "Cat, dog, ball, book," she says.
+
+The teacher smiles and nods. She gives Anna a sticker. It is a star. Anna is happy. She did well on the exam. She shows her sticker to Tom. Tom also has a sticker. It is a heart. He is happy too. They high-five each other.
+
+The exam is over. The children put away their papers and pencils. They go to the playground. They run, jump, slide, and swing. They have fun. They are happy. They speak to each other and laugh. They are proud of themselves. They are big kids.
+Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then, Max saw Lily's teddy bear and wanted to play with it.
+
+"Give me the teddy bear!" Max said, grabbing the toy from Lily's hands.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said, pulling it back. "You have your own toys!"
+
+They started to fight over the teddy bear, pulling and pushing and shouting. They did not hear their mom calling them from the kitchen.
+
+"Stop fighting, you two!" Mom said, coming into the living room. "You are making a big mess and a lot of noise. Why can't you share?"
+
+Lily and Max looked at their mom with guilty faces. They knew they had been bad.
+
+"Sorry, mom," they said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. "It's okay, I know you love each other. But you have to learn to play nicely and take turns. Fighting is not good. It can hurt your feelings and your bodies."
+
+She pointed to Max's stomach, where he had a red mark from Lily's scratch.
+
+"See, you have a boo-boo on your stomach. Does it hurt?"
+
+Max nodded. He felt a little pain and a little sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Max," Lily said. "I didn't mean to hurt you. You can have the teddy bear for a while. I have other toys."
+
+She gave him the teddy bear and kissed his stomach.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Max said. "You are very kind and brave. I'm sorry I took your teddy bear. You can have it back later. I have other toys, too."
+
+He gave her a hug and a smile.
+
+Mom was proud of them. She said they were good kids and gave them a cookie each.
+
+They ate their cookies and played with their toys again. But this time, they did not fight. They shared and took turns and had more fun. They were happy and so was mom.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play at the pond. They liked to watch the ducks swim and quack. Sometimes they fed them bread crumbs. But one day, they had a quarrel.
+
+"I want to feed the big duck. He is the leader," said Lily.
+
+"No, I want to feed him. He is the bravest," said Ben.
+
+They both pulled the bread bag and tore it. The bread crumbs fell on the ground. The ducks came and ate them. Lily and Ben were angry and sad.
+
+They did not talk to each other. They sat on opposite sides of the pond. They did not see the big duck swim away. They did not see the fox sneak behind the bushes. They did not hear the duck cry for help.
+
+The fox jumped out and grabbed the big duck by the neck. The duck flapped his wings and tried to escape. The other ducks flew away in fear. Lily and Ben heard the noise and looked up. They saw the fox and the big duck.
+
+They forgot their quarrel. They ran to the fox and shouted.
+
+"Let him go! Let him go!"
+
+They threw stones and sticks at the fox. The fox was surprised and scared. He dropped the big duck and ran away. The big duck was hurt but alive. He thanked Lily and Ben for saving him.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged each other and apologized.
+
+"We are sorry. We were silly. We are friends again," they said.
+
+They helped the big duck back to the pond. They fed him some more bread crumbs. They watched him swim and quack with the other ducks. They were happy and proud. They learned to share and to be brave.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to do many things together. But today, they are not happy. Mom says they have to go to the doctor. They have to weigh and measure and get shots. Sara and Tom do not like shots. They are scared and restless.

+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy dinosaurs in the garden. They liked to make them roar and fight each other. Tom had a big green dinosaur and Lily had a small pink one.
+
+"Roar! My dinosaur is stronger than yours!" Tom said.
+
+"No, mine is faster and smarter!" Lily said.
+
+They made their dinosaurs bite and scratch each other. They did not see that their dog, Max, was watching them. Max was bored and wanted to play too. He ran towards them and grabbed Tom's dinosaur in his mouth.
+
+"Hey, give it back! That's mine!" Tom shouted.
+
+He tried to pull his dinosaur from Max's mouth, but Max was stronger. He ran away with the dinosaur, wagging his tail.
+
+"Come back, Max! You are a bad dog!" Lily said.
+
+She followed Tom and Max, holding her dinosaur. They chased Max around the garden, but he was faster. He jumped on the sofa and started to chew on the dinosaur.
+
+"Stop it, Max! You are ruining my dinosaur!" Tom cried.
+
+He climbed on the sofa and tried to take his dinosaur back. Max growled and bit his hand.
+
+"Ow! That hurts!" Tom said.
+
+He let go of his dinosaur and started to cry. Lily climbed on the sofa too and tried to calm Max down. She gave him a massage on his head and back.
+
+"Good boy, Max. You don't need to be mean. You can play with us, but you have to share." Lily said.
+
+Max licked her face and wagged his tail. He dropped the dinosaur and looked at Tom.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I was foolish. I just wanted to have fun." Max said.
+
+He gave Tom a lick too and nudged the dinosaur towards him.
+
+"It's okay, Max. I forgive you. But don't do that again. You can play with us, but you have to be gentle." Tom said.
+
+He picked up his dinosaur and looked at it. It was torn and dirty, but he still loved it.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. You know how to make Max happy." Tom said.
+
+He gave Lily a hug and a kiss. He gave her his dinosaur too.
+
+"Here, you can have it. I have another one. You are a good friend to Max." Tom said.

+Lily smiled and took the dinosaur. She gave Tom her dinosaur too.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. You are brave and kind. You are a good friend to me." Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and Max. They decided to play together with their dinosaurs and their dog. They made them roar and cuddle, not fight. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes.
+
+"Look, I made a big tower!" Lily says. She shows Tom her tower of red and yellow and blue blocks.
+
+"Wow, that's nice!" Tom says. He likes Lily's tower, but he wants to make his own. He looks for more blocks in the box.
+
+But he sees something strange in the box. Something that is not a block. Something that is black and round and has a hole in it.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asks. He picks up the black thing and shows it to Lily.
+
+"I don't know," Lily says. She looks at the black thing. She has never seen it before. "It is a mystery."
+
+"Maybe it is a hat," Tom says. He puts the black thing on his head. But it is too big and falls off.
+
+"Maybe it is a wheel," Lily says. She puts the black thing on the floor and tries to roll it. But it does not roll. It just stays still.
+
+"Maybe it is a donut," Tom says. He is hungry. He tries to bite the black thing. But it is hard and tastes bad.
+
+"Yuck!" Tom says. He spits out the black thing.
+
+Lily and Tom do not like the black thing. They do not know what it is for. They do not want to play with it.
+
+They put the black thing back in the box. They add more blocks to their towers and houses and cars. They have fun with their blocks. They forget about the mystery.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to visit their grandma in the woods. They liked to play with the animals and the flowers there. Grandma gave them some cookies and milk, and told them a story.
+
+"Be careful, children," she said. "Do not go too far from the house. There are some bad men in the woods. They have ugly faces and big arrows. They want to hurt us and take our things."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They did not want to see the bad men. They wanted to have fun. They finished their cookies and milk, and said goodbye to grandma. They went outside to play.
+
+They saw a rabbit and a squirrel. They ran after them, laughing. They did not see the sign that said "Danger". They did not hear the rustle in the bushes. They did not notice the shadow behind the tree.
+
+Suddenly, a loud noise made them stop. They turned around and saw a bad man. He had an ugly face and a big arrow. He pointed the arrow at them and shouted.
+
+"Give me your cookies and milk, or I will shoot you!"
+
+Tom and Lily were very scared. They did not want to give their cookies and milk. They did not want to get shot. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then, they heard another noise. It was grandma. She had a stick and a dog. She ran to the bad man and hit him with the stick. The dog barked and bit him. The bad man dropped the arrow and ran away.
+
+"Grandma, you saved us!" Tom and Lily cried. They hugged her and thanked her.
+
+"Are you okay, children?" grandma asked. She checked them for injuries. She was angry and worried.
+
+"Yes, we are okay," Tom and Lily said. They felt sorry and ashamed.
+
+"We are sorry, grandma. We did not listen to you. We went too far from the house. We did not see the sign. We did not hear the bad man. We were silly and foolish."
+
+"It's okay, children. I forgive you. But you must be more careful next time. The woods are not safe. The bad men are not nice. They have ugly faces and big arrows. They want to hurt us and take our things."
+
+"We understand, grandma. We will be more careful next time. We will not go too far from the house. We will see the sign. We will hear the bad man. We will be smart and brave."
+
+"Good, children. Now, let's go back to the house. I have some more cookies and milk for you. And another story."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They loved their grandma. They followed her and the dog back to the house. They did not see the bad man again. They had a happy day.

+
+They started to argue. They did not want to share their herbs. They pulled and pushed each other.
+
+"Stop it, children!" Mom said. She came out of the house. She saw the baskets and the herbs. She was not happy.
+
+"Why are you fighting over the herbs? They are all good and beautiful. You should not sort them by color. You should sort them by how they can help you. Some herbs are good for cooking, some are good for tea, and some are good for medicine. You can learn a lot from them if you work together," Mom said.
+
+She showed them how to sort the herbs by their uses. She taught them the names and the benefits of each herb. Lily and Tom listened and learned. They stopped arguing and started helping. They filled their baskets with different kinds of herbs.

+Suddenly, a man comes out of the bushes. He is angry and scary. He yells at them. He says the sack is his. He says it has money and jewels. He says he stole them from a bank. He says he will hurt them if they don't leave.
+
+Tim and Liz are scared. They let go of the sack and swim away. They swim fast to the shore. They run to their house. They tell their mom what happened. Their mom hugs them and calls the police.
+

+Tom is a tall boy who likes to ride his bicycle. He rides very fast and does tricks on the street. He thinks he is the best rider in the world. He likes to laugh at other children who ride slower or fall down.
+
+One day, he sees a little girl with a pink bicycle. She is trying to learn how to balance and pedal. She falls down a lot and gets up again. Tom thinks she is silly and laughs at her. He says, "You are a bad rider. You should give up. You will never learn how to ride a bicycle."
+
+The little girl feels sad and angry. She says, "You are a mean boy. You should not laugh at people who are trying to learn. You should help them and be kind. Maybe you will fall down too one day."
+
+Tom does not listen to her. He rides away and laughs some more. He does not see a big rock on the road. He hits the rock and falls off his bicycle. He hurts his knee and his elbow. He cries and calls for help.
+
+The little girl hears him and rides over to him. She helps him get up and gives him a band-aid. She says, "I am sorry you fell down. Are you okay? Do you want to ride with me? I can teach you how to avoid rocks and be careful."
+
+Tom feels ashamed and grateful. He says, "Thank you for helping me. You are a good rider and a good friend. I am sorry I laughed at you. You were right. I should not laugh at people who are trying to learn. I should help them and be kind. Maybe we can learn from each other and have fun."
+
+The little girl smiles and nods. They ride together and help each other. They do not laugh at each other. They laugh with each other. They are happy and learn a lot.
+

+"Let's do something fun," Anna says to Ben.
+
+"Like what?" Ben asks.
+
+"Let's gather some hair," Anna says.

+
+But then her brother Max came into the room. He saw the car and wanted to play with it too. He grabbed the switch from Lily's hand and said, "It's my turn now!"
+
+Lily was angry. She said, "No, it's not! It's my toy! Give it back!" She tried to pull the switch from Max's hand, but he was stronger. He pushed her away and said, "No, it's mine! I want to play with it!"

+
+Max looked at Mom. He knew he was in trouble. He said, "But I wanted to play with it. It's a cool toy."
+
+Mom said, "I know, but it's not yours. You have to share. You have to wait for your turn. You have to say sorry to Lily."
+
+Max felt bad. He realized he was wrong. He gave the switch back to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean. Can I play with you?"
+
+Lily was still sad, but she was also kind. She said, "It's okay, Max. I forgive you. You can play with me. But you have to be nice."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. I'm proud of you both. Now, why don't you play together and have fun?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They played with the car and the switch. They made it zip around the floor and make noises. They took turns and said please and thank you. They were happy. They were good siblings.

+He gave her the flute and showed her how to hold it. Sara tried to blow, but she only made a loud noise. The birds flew away. Sara was sad.
+
+The boy said, "Don't worry, you just need to practice. It took me a long time to learn. Do you want to be my friend? We can play and learn together."

+Lily was a small girl who liked to play in the yard. She had a red kite that she loved to fly on windy days. She would run and laugh as the kite soared in the sky.
+
+One day, she saw a bird in the yard. It was blue and yellow and had a long tail. It was very pretty. Lily wanted to talk to the bird. She ran to the bird and said, "Hello, bird. Do you want to play with me and my kite?"
+
+The bird looked at Lily and said, "No, thank you. I have my own wings. I can fly wherever I want. Your kite is nice, but it can only fly where the wind takes it."
+
+Lily felt sad. She liked the bird and wanted to be its friend. She said, "But we can have fun together. You can fly next to my kite and I can watch you. Please, bird, stay with me."
+
+The bird shook its head and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I have to go. I have a family and a home in the trees. I can't stay in your yard. Goodbye, Lily. Maybe I'll see you again someday."
+
+The bird flew away, leaving Lily alone with her kite. Lily watched the bird disappear in the sky. She felt a tear roll down her cheek. She wished she could fly too.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make noises like the motors and pretend they were racing. Lily had a red car and Tom had a blue car.
+
+"Look at my car, it is so fast and mighty!" Tom said. "It can go over any hill or bump."
+
+"My car is fast and mighty too!" Lily said. "It can go under any bridge or tunnel."
+
+They zoomed their cars around the grass and the flowers, having fun.
+
+But then, a big dog came into the garden. It saw the toy cars and wanted to play with them. It ran towards Tom and Lily, barking loudly.
+
+"Woof, woof, woof!" the dog said.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They did not like the big dog. They thought it would bite their cars or hurt them.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tom shouted. "Leave our cars alone!"
+
+He picked up his blue car and held it close to his chest. He wanted to protect it from the dog.
+
+Lily did the same with her red car. She hugged it tight and ran to Tom.
+
+They stood together, facing the dog. They hoped it would go away.
+
+But the dog did not go away. It came closer and closer, wagging its tail.
+
+"Hi, hi, hi!" the dog said. "I want to play with you and your cars. They look so fun and shiny."
+
+The dog did not mean to be bad. It was friendly and curious. It just wanted to join the game.
+
+But Tom and Lily did not know that. They only saw its big teeth and claws. They were very afraid.
+
+They wished their mom or dad would come and help them.
+
+Just then, they heard a voice.
+
+"Rover, come here!" the voice said. "Leave the children alone!"
+
+It was their neighbor, Mr. Lee. He owned the dog. He had seen the dog run into the garden and followed him.
+
+He came over and grabbed the dog by its collar. He pulled it away from Tom and Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids," he said. "Rover is a good dog, but he is too big and playful for you. He did not want to hurt you or your cars. He just wanted to say hello."
+
+He smiled and patted the dog's head.
+
+"Say sorry, Rover," he said.
+
+The dog looked at Tom and Lily and licked his lips.
+
+"Sorry, sorry, sorry," the dog said.
+
+Tom and Lily were still scared, but they saw that the dog was not angry or mean. They felt a little sorry for him too.
+
+They looked at each other and nodded.
+
+"It's okay, Mr. Lee," Tom said. "We forgive Rover."
+
+"Thank you, Tom," Mr. Lee said. "You are very brave and kind."
+
+He looked at Lily and smiled.
+
+"And you too, Lily," he said. "You are very brave and kind."
+
+He looked at their cars and winked.
+
+"And your cars are very fast and mighty," he said. "They are very nice cars."
+
+He gave them each a candy and walked away with the dog.
+
+"Bye, bye, bye!" the dog said.
+
+"Bye, Rover!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+They waved at them and smiled.
+
+They were happy that the dog was gone, but they were also happy that they had made a new friend.
+
+They put their cars down and started to play again.
+
+They zoomed their cars around the garden, making noises like the motors.

+They were not afraid anymore.
+
+They felt very fast and mighty.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big yellow bus. The bus has a shiny handle on the door.
+
+"Let's go inside the bus!" Tom says. He runs to the handle and pulls it. The door opens.
+
+"No, Tom, wait!" Lily says. She is scared. She thinks the bus is not for them. She watches Tom go inside the bus.
+
+Tom is happy. He sees many seats and windows. He wants to sit in the front. He climbs on the driver's seat. He sees a big wheel and a red button.
+
+"I can drive the bus!" Tom says. He pushes the red button. The bus makes a loud noise. It starts to move.
+
+Lily is very scared. She hears the noise and sees the bus move. She runs after the bus. She shouts, "Tom, Tom, come back!"
+
+But Tom does not hear her. He is too busy playing with the wheel. He does not know how to stop the bus. He does not see the cars and the people on the road.
+
+The bus goes faster and faster. It makes more noise. It scares the cars and the people. They honk and yell.
+
+Soon, the bus reaches a big hill. It goes up the hill. It goes very high. Tom feels like he is flying. He laughs.
+
+But then, the bus goes down the hill. It goes very fast. It goes too fast. Tom feels like he is falling. He screams.
+
+The bus crashes into a big tree. It makes a big boom. The door breaks. The handle falls off.
+
+Lily reaches the bus. She sees the smoke and the broken glass. She is very worried. She looks for Tom.
+
+She sees him on the ground. He is not moving. He has a cut on his head. He has blood on his face.
+
+Lily cries. She runs to Tom. She hugs him. She says, "Tom, Tom, are you okay?"
+
+Tom opens his eyes. He sees Lily. He sees the blood. He feels the pain. He says, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was bad. I should not have gone inside the bus."
+
+Lily says, "It's okay, Tom. I'm here. I'm your friend. We will be okay."
+
+They hear a siren. They see a red car. It has a cross on it. It is an ambulance. It comes to help them.

+The end.
+Lena liked to play with her toys in the bathtub. She had a duck, a boat, a fish and a frog. She made them swim and splash and talk to each other. She enjoyed the bubbles and the warm water.
+
+One day, she saw a new toy in the bathtub. It was a turtle. It was green and brown and had a hard shell. Lena was curious. She picked up the turtle and said hello. The turtle did not say anything. It did not move.
+
+Lena thought the turtle was shy. She put it next to the duck and said, "This is your friend. He is lively and funny. He likes to quack and play." The duck quacked and nudged the turtle. The turtle did not quack or nudge back.
+
+Lena was puzzled. She tried to make the turtle play with the boat, the fish and the frog. But the turtle did not play. It did not swim or splash or talk. It just stayed still.
+
+Lena was sad. She wanted the turtle to be happy and lively like her other toys. She wondered if the turtle was sick or sleepy. She decided to give the turtle a hug and a kiss. She said, "I like you, turtle. You are my friend. Please don't be sad."
+
+Then, something amazing happened. The turtle moved. It blinked its eyes and opened its mouth. It made a sound. It was not a quack or a splash or a talk. It was a snap. The turtle snapped at Lena's nose.
+
+Lena was surprised. She dropped the turtle and screamed. The turtle fell into the water and swam away. Lena realized that the turtle was not a toy. It was a real turtle. It was lively, but not in a good way.
+
+Lena's mom heard her scream and came to the bathroom. She saw the turtle in the bathtub and gasped. She said, "Lena, where did you get that turtle?" Lena said, "I found it in the bathtub. I thought it was a toy. But it is not. It is mean. It snapped at me."
+
+Lena's mom said, "Oh, Lena, I'm sorry. That turtle is not yours. It belongs to your uncle. He brought it from his trip. He left it here by mistake. He will come and get it soon. It is not a toy. It is a wild animal. You should not touch it or play with it."
+
+Lena's mom took the turtle out of the bathtub and put it in a box. She said, "Let's wash your nose and dry you off. Then we can play with your real toys. They are nice and friendly. They will not snap at you."
+
+Lena nodded. She was glad that the turtle was gone. She did not like the turtle. She liked her duck, her boat, her fish and her frog. She enjoyed playing with them in the bathtub. They were lively and fun.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a rabbit in the grass. The rabbit is brown and soft.
+
+"Hello, rabbit!" Tom says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The rabbit looks at Tom and Anna. It is shy. It hops away.
+
+"Wait, rabbit!" Anna says. "We have something for you!"
+
+Anna runs to the kitchen. She gets a carrot. She gives the carrot to Tom.
+
+"Rabbits like carrots," Anna says. "Carrots are healthy. They make you strong and happy."
+
+Tom and Anna go back to the garden. They look for the rabbit. They see it behind a bush.
+
+"Look, rabbit!" Tom says. "We have a carrot for you! It is orange and crunchy. You can have it!"
+
+Tom and Anna put the carrot on the ground. They move away. They wait.
+
+The rabbit comes out of the bush. It sniffs the carrot. It likes the carrot. It nibbles the carrot.
+
+"Yum, yum, yum!" the rabbit says.
+
+Tom and Anna smile. They are happy. The rabbit is happy.

+
+Tom and Anna and the rabbit play in the garden. They have fun. They share the carrot. They are healthy and happy.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things on the beach, like shells, crabs, and birds.
+
+"Look, Tom, what is that?" Lily said, pointing to a big metal thing that was half-buried in the sand. It was black and had a pointy end and a round end.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Let's go and see," Tom said. They ran to the metal thing and touched it with their hands. It was cold and hard and rough.
+
+"It's an anchor, kids," their dad said, coming behind them. "It's something that boats use to stop in the water. Sometimes they get lost or broken and end up on the beach."
+
+"Wow, an anchor!" Tom said. "Can we take it home, dad?"
+
+"No, Tom, it's too big and heavy. And it belongs to the sea, not to us. But you can look at it and learn about it," their dad said.
+
+"OK, dad," Tom said. He looked at the anchor and imagined how it came from a big boat that sailed on the ocean. He wondered what other things the boat had and where it went.
+
+Lily looked at the anchor and saw something shiny on the round end. She touched it and saw that it was a necklace with a brilliant stone. It sparkled in the sun and made her eyes happy.
+
+"Look, Tom, look, dad, a necklace!" Lily said, holding it up. "It's so pretty! Can I keep it, dad?"
+
+Their dad looked at the necklace and smiled. He saw that it was very old and had a special shape. He thought it might be from a long time ago, when people wore different clothes and spoke different words.
+
+"Wow, Lily, that's a very nice find. It's a very old and rare necklace. It might be worth a lot of money. But more importantly, it might tell us a story about the past. Maybe it belonged to someone who was on the boat with the anchor. Maybe they lost it or gave it away. Maybe they were happy or sad. We don't know, but we can imagine," their dad said.
+
+"Wow, dad, that's amazing. Can we keep it, please?" Lily said.
+
+Their dad thought for a moment. He knew that the necklace was very valuable and that some people might want to buy it or take it. But he also knew that Lily liked it very much and that it made her curious and excited. He decided to let her keep it, but only if she promised to take good care of it and to share it with others who wanted to learn about it.
+
+"OK, Lily, you can keep it. But you have to promise me two things. One, you have to be very careful with it and not lose it or break it. And two, you have to let other people see it and learn from it, like your mom, your brother, your teacher, and your friends. Do you promise?" their dad said.
+
+"I promise, dad, I promise!" Lily said, hugging the necklace and her dad. "Thank you, dad, thank you!"
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. You're a very lucky girl. And you're a very smart girl. You found something that not many people have seen. You should be proud of yourself," their dad said.
+
+"Thank you, dad. I love you," Lily said.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. And I love you too, Tom. Come on, let's go and show mom what you found. Maybe she can tell us more about it," their dad said.
+
+"OK, dad. Let's go, Lily," Tom said.
+
+They left the anchor on the beach and ran to their mom, who was sitting on a blanket with a book. They showed her the necklace and told her the story. She was very surprised and happy. She hugged them and kissed them and praised them. She told them that the necklace was very old and very rare. She said that it might be from a time called the Middle Ages, when there were kings and queens and knights and castles. She said that the stone was called a ruby and that it was very precious. She said that the necklace was a treasure and that they were very lucky to find it.
+
+They listened to their mom and asked her many questions. They learned a lot of new things. They felt very happy and proud. They thanked their mom and their dad for taking them to the beach. They said that it was the best day ever. They smiled and laughed and hugged. They had a lot of fun. They loved the beach. They loved the anchor. They loved the necklace. They loved each other.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy soldiers. They make a war with the soldiers. They put some soldiers on the sofa and some soldiers on the floor. They throw balls and pillows at the soldiers. They say "bang, bang, you are dead!"
+
+But then, Mom comes in. She is not happy. She sees the mess in the living room. She sees the soldiers and the balls and the pillows. She says "Stop, stop, this is not a war, this is a mess! You have to fix this now! Put the soldiers and the balls and the pillows back where they belong!"
+
+Tom and Sam are sad. They do not want to stop playing. They do not want to fix the mess. They say "But Mom, we are having fun! We are playing war! We are lucky we have so many soldiers and balls and pillows!"
+
+Mom says "I know you are having fun, but you also have to be responsible. You have to fix what you break. You have to clean what you dirty. You have to respect what you have.

+They pull the book and make it tear. The page with the snake rips off. Ben and Lily both cry. Mom hears them and comes in. She sees the book and the torn page. She is not happy. She says, "What did you do? You ruined the book!"
+
+She takes the book and the page and puts them on the shelf. She says, "You need to share and be nice to each other. No more books for you today." She makes Ben and Lily sit on the couch and hug. Ben and Lily are sad. They wish they did not fight over the book.
+
+They look at the shelf and see the lion on the cover. The lion looks angry. He seems to say, "Roar! You should listen to your mom!" Ben and Lily nod. They say, "Sorry, lion. Sorry, mom. Sorry, each other." They hug again and say, "We love you." Mom smiles and says, "I love you too." She gives them a kiss and a cookie. They feel better. They decide to play with their toys and not fight over books. They hope the lion is happy too.
+Mia and Ben like to dance. They dance in the living room, in the kitchen, and in the garden. They dance to music from the radio, from the phone, and from their toys. They dance fast and slow, high and low, happy and sad.
+
+One day, Mom says, "It is time to stop dancing. It is time for nap." Mia and Ben do not want to nap. They want to dance more. They say, "No, Mom, no nap. More dance, more dance!"
+
+Mom says, "You have to nap. You are tired. You need to rest. Come on, let's go to your room." She takes Mia and Ben by the hand and leads them to their room. She shuts the door and says, "Sleep well, my sweeties. I love you."
+
+Mia and Ben do not sleep. They whisper to each other, "Let's dance. Let's dance." They get up from their beds and start to dance. They dance on the floor, on the rug, and on the bed. They dance with their pillows, with their blankets, and with their stuffed animals. They dance loud and soft, big and small, silly and serious.

+
+She takes Tom by the hand and leads him to the big boy. The big boy is still playing with the truck. He does not see them coming. The girl says, "Hey, you. That is not your truck. That is Tom's truck. Give it back to him."
+
+The big boy laughs. He says, "No, it is mine. Go away. You are silly." He sticks out his tongue at them. He does not know that the girl has a plan. She opens her bag of salt and throws some at the big boy. The salt gets in his eyes and mouth. He screams and drops the truck. He runs away, rubbing his eyes.
+
+The girl picks up the truck and gives it to Tom. She says, "Here you go. This is your truck. I saved it for you." Tom smiles and hugs the truck. He says, "Thank you. You are very nice.

+
+Ben looks at the sign. He sees a red circle, a blue square, a yellow star, and a green triangle. He thinks hard.
+
+"Maybe it says...circle, square, star, triangle?" Ben says.
+
+Sara shakes her head. She thinks Ben is silly.
+
+"No, Ben, that is not what it says. It says...stop, play, wish, fun!" Sara says.
+
+Ben frowns. He does not believe Sara.
+
+"How do you know, Sara? You can't read!" Ben says.

+
+Ben is amazed. He wants to learn some words too.
+
+"Wow, Sara, you are smart! Can you teach me some words?" Ben says.

+The spider says, "Hello, Anna and Ben. I am your new friend. I am an intelligent spider. I can teach you many things about spiders and other animals. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben says. "We want to play with you. You are the best toy ever. Can you show us how you crawl and make noises?"
+
+"Of course, I can," the spider says. "Follow me to the tent. I will show you my skills and tell you some stories. But be careful, do not step on me or pull my legs. I am fragile and sensitive."
+
+Anna and Ben crawl after the spider to the tent. They are happy and amazed. They think they have the most fun and interesting safari ever. They do not know that the spider is not a toy, but a spy from another planet. The spider is not their friend, but their enemy. The spider is not teaching them, but learning from them. The spider has a secret mission. But that is another story.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and sing songs. One day, they find a lovely microphone in the toy box. It is shiny and pink and makes funny noises.
+
+"I want to sing with the microphone!" Lily says.
+
+"No, I want to sing with it!" Ben says.
+
+They both try to take the microphone, but it is too small for two hands. They pull and tug and shout.
+
+"Give it to me!"
+
+"No, give it to me!"
+
+The microphone falls on the floor and breaks. It does not make any noise anymore. Lily and Ben are sad and angry.
+

+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. Ben had a stick that he used as a sword. Lily had a crown that she made from flowers.
+
+"Look, Lily, I see a dragon!" Ben said, pointing to a big rock. "We have to fight it and save the kingdom!"
+
+"OK, Ben, but be careful!" Lily said. "Dragons are scary and have fire!"
+
+Ben ran towards the rock with his sword. He made loud noises and swung his stick. He pretended the rock was a dragon that roared and bit.
+
+Lily watched from behind a tree. She cheered for Ben and clapped her hands. She was proud of her brother. He was very strong and brave.
+
+But then, Ben tripped on a root and fell down. He hurt his knee and started to cry. His sword flew out of his hand and landed far away.
+
+Lily ran to Ben and hugged him. She saw blood on his knee and felt sorry for him.
+
+"Don't cry, Ben, it's OK," she said. "You are still a hero. You scared the dragon away. See, it's not moving."
+
+Ben looked at the rock and sniffed. He saw his sword on the ground and felt sad.
+
+"But I lost my sword, Lily," he said. "Now I can't be a knight anymore."
+
+Lily smiled and kissed his cheek. She had an idea.
+
+"You don't need a sword, Ben," she said. "You have something better. You have me. I am your princess and your sister. And I love you very much."
+
+She took his hand and helped him stand up. She pointed to a flower near the rock.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is your sword," she said. "It's a magic sword. It can make you happy and heal your wound. And it's very pretty, too."
+
+Ben smiled and picked up the flower. He felt better and hugged Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are right. You are my princess and my sister. And I love you very much, too."
+
+They walked back to their mom, who was waiting for them. They told her about their adventure and showed her their sword and crown. She smiled and praised them.
+
+They had a lot of fun in the park. They were happy and remained friends forever.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They had a basket full of toys and snacks. They liked to share and have fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a magic trick!" Tom said. He took a light scarf from the basket and covered his face with it. "Now you can't see me. I disappear!"
+
+Lily giggled. She knew Tom was still there. She pulled the scarf away and said, "There you are! You are not magic. You are silly!"
+
+Tom laughed too. He liked to make Lily laugh. He put the scarf back in the basket and said, "Let's play something else. How about hide and seek?"
+
+"OK, Tom. You count and I hide. But don't peek!" Lily said. She ran to find a good hiding spot.
+
+Tom closed his eyes and counted. "One, two, three, four, five..." He heard Lily's footsteps and smiled. He knew he could find her.
+
+But when he opened his eyes, he saw something strange. The basket was gone. He looked around and saw a big dog running away with the basket in its mouth.
+
+"Hey, stop! That's our basket!" Tom shouted. He ran after the dog, but it was too fast. He lost sight of it.
+
+Tom felt sad and scared. He lost the basket and he lost Lily. He didn't know what to do.
+
+He heard a voice behind a tree. "Tom, where are you? I'm hiding here!"
+
+It was Lily. She came out of her hiding spot and saw Tom's face. She saw he was crying.
+
+"Tom, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom hugged Lily and told her what happened. He told her about the dog and the basket.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Tom. She said, "Don't cry, Tom. It's OK. We can find the dog and get our basket back. Or we can ask Mom and Dad to buy us a new one. The basket is not important. You are my friend. You are important."
+
+Tom smiled. He felt better. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are my friend too. You are very kind."
+
+They held hands and walked back to the park. They hoped to find the dog and the basket. But they knew they had each other. And that was enough.
+Tom and Mia were best friends. They lived next to each other and played every day. They liked to run, jump, and sing in the garden. Sometimes they played with their toys, like cars, dolls, and balls.
+
+One day, they saw a big hole in the fence that separated their houses. They wondered what was on the other side. They decided to go and look. They held hands and walked to the hole. They peeked through and saw a lot of flowers, trees, and birds. They also saw a pond with fish and frogs.
+
+"Wow, this is so pretty!" Mia said. "Can we go there?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it's someone else's garden. Maybe they don't like us to go there."
+
+"But I want to see the fish and the frogs," Mia said. "Please, Tom, let's go."
+
+Mia pulled Tom's hand and tried to make him go through the hole. Tom was scared and pulled back. He didn't want to get in trouble.
+
+"No, Mia, stop!" Tom said. "We can't go there. It's not our garden. We have to stay here."
+
+But Mia didn't listen. She pulled harder and harder. Tom tried to resist, but he was not as strong as Mia. Mia pulled him so hard that they both fell through the hole and landed on the other side of the fence.
+
+They looked around and saw that the garden was not as pretty as they thought. The flowers were fake, the trees were plastic, and the birds were stuffed. The pond was dirty and smelled bad. The fish and the frogs were rubber and didn't move.
+
+"Yuck, this is not a real garden," Tom said. "This is a fake garden. Why would someone make a fake garden?"
+
+"I don't know," Mia said. "But I don't like it. It's boring and ugly. Let's go back to our garden. Our garden is better. It's real and ordinary and nice."
+
+They got up and ran back to the hole. They crawled through and went back to their garden. They hugged each other and smiled.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Mia said. "I shouldn't have pulled you. I was wrong. You were right. We should stay here."
+
+"It's okay, Mia," Tom said. "I forgive you. You're still my best friend. And I agree. We should stay here. This is our garden. And we love it."
+
+They played happily in their garden, and never looked at the fence again.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She was a thoughtful girl who wanted to make her mom happy. One day, her mom asked her to peel an orange for her dad, who was coming home soon. Lily was excited to do it. She took a knife and tried to cut the orange.
+
+But the knife was too sharp and Lily cut her finger. She cried out loud and dropped the orange. Her mom heard her and ran to her. She saw the blood and the orange on the floor. She hugged Lily and said, "Oh, sweetie, are you okay? Let me see your finger."
+
+She took Lily to the sink and washed her finger. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. She said, "You are very brave, Lily. I'm sorry you got hurt. You don't have to peel the orange. I can do it for you."
+
+Lily sniffed and said, "But I wanted to help you, mom. I wanted to make dad happy. He likes oranges."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You are very thoughtful, Lily. You always think of others. Dad will be happy to see you, not the orange. He loves you more than anything. Why don't you draw him a picture instead? He will love that."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will draw him a picture. Can I use the orange crayon?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, you can. That's a great idea. You can make the orange look like the one you tried to peel. Dad will think it's funny and cute."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever."
+
+Her mom said, "Thank you, Lily. You are the best daughter ever."
+
+They hugged and went to the table. Lily picked up the orange crayon and started to draw. She was happy to help her mom and make her dad happy. She was a thoughtful girl.
+Tom and Anna are playing in the park. They see a big bin with a lid. Tom wants to see what is inside the bin. He climbs on a bench and tries to open the lid.
+
+"Tom, what are you doing?" Anna asks. She is scared of the bin. She thinks it is dirty and smelly.
+
+"I want to see what is inside the bin," Tom says. He pushes the lid hard. But the lid is too high and heavy. He cannot open it.
+
+"Tom, come down. The bin is not for playing. It is for throwing away things we do not need," Anna says. She tries to explain to Tom why the bin is not fun.
+
+"But maybe there are toys or books or candy in the bin. Maybe someone threw them away by mistake," Tom says. He does not listen to Anna. He pushes the lid harder.
+
+Suddenly, the lid opens. But instead of toys or books or candy, Tom sees a lot of garbage. There are banana peels, egg shells, paper cups, and other things that are not nice. Tom feels sick. He jumps down from the bench and runs away from the bin.
+
+"Yuck! The bin is gross!" Tom says. He is sorry he did not listen to Anna.
+
+Anna follows Tom. She gives him a hug. She is glad he is safe.
+
+"Next time, listen to me, Tom. I know some things you do not know," Anna says.
+
+"OK, Anna. You are smart. You can explain things to me," Tom says.
+
+They go back to playing in the park. They forget about the bin. They have fun.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to climb on the big oak tree and swing on the ropes. They saw some squirrels running on the branches and throwing nuts at each other.
+
+"Look, mom, squirrels!" Anna shouted.
+
+"Be careful, don't go too high," mom said.
+
+Ben wanted to show mom how brave he was. He climbed higher and higher, until he reached the top of the tree. He felt proud and happy. He waved at mom and Anna.
+
+"Look at me, mom, I'm the king of the tree!" he yelled.
+
+But then, he heard a loud crack. The branch he was standing on broke and he fell down. He landed on a big pile of leaves, but he also got nuts and dirt all over his face and clothes. He felt a sharp pain in his arm and started to cry.
+
+"Ben, are you okay?" mom asked, running to him.
+
+Anna ran after her. She saw Ben crying and covered in mess. She wanted to help him, but she also thought he looked funny. She giggled and said, "Ben, you look like a squirrel!"
+
+Mom hugged Ben and checked his arm. It was not broken, but it was bruised and scratched. She said, "Ben, you were very brave, but you also were very silly. You should not climb so high, it's dangerous. And you should not embarrass yourself by yelling so loud. Now, let's go home and clean you up."
+
+Ben felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to show you how good I was. I didn't mean to embarrass myself."
+
+Mom kissed him and said, "It's okay, Ben. I love you, no matter what. But next time, be more careful and listen to me. Come on, let's go home. I have some yummy cookies for you and Anna."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you too. And I love cookies. Can I have a chocolate one?"
+
+Mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can. And Anna, you can have one too. But don't laugh at your brother, he had a bad fall. Be nice to him."
+
+Anna said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to laugh at you. You are still the king of the tree. And I love you too. And I love cookies. Can I have a peanut butter one?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Now, let's go home and enjoy our cookies. And maybe we can read a story together. How about that?"
+
+Anna and Ben agreed and said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun."
+
+They all walked home, holding hands and talking. They forgot about the squirrels and the oak tree and the fall. They only thought about the yummy cookies and the story and the love. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to swim in the pool. They had big floats that looked like fish and ducks. They splashed and laughed and had fun.
+
+One day, a big dog came to the pool. He was black and furry and had a loud bark. He saw the floats and thought they were toys. He jumped into the water and grabbed the fish float with his teeth. He shook it hard and made it pop.
+
+Tom was on the fish float. He fell into the water and got wet. He was frightened and cried. Lily was on the duck float. She saw Tom and was frightened too. She cried and called for help.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the twins and ran to the pool. They saw the dog and the floats and the water. They were angry and scared. They shouted at the dog and made him go away. They took Tom and Lily out of the water and hugged them. They said they were sorry and gave them new floats.
+
+Tom and Lily were still frightened, but they felt better. They thanked Mom and Dad and said they loved them. They dried off and went inside. They decided they did not like the big dog. They liked their new floats and their pool. They hoped the dog would not come back.
+Anna likes to use her crayons. She has many colors and she draws pictures of her family, her friends and her toys. She likes to show her pictures to her teacher, Miss Lee.
+
+One day, Miss Lee tells Anna and the other kids that they will have an exam. Anna does not know what an exam is. She feels scared. Miss Lee says an exam is a way to see what they have learned. She says they will have to answer some questions and do some tasks.
+
+Anna tries to listen to Miss Lee, but she is still scared. She does not like questions and tasks. She likes to draw with her crayons. She wishes she could use her crayons for the exam.
+
+The exam starts and Anna gets a paper with some words and pictures. She has to circle the right word or picture for each question. She looks at the paper and feels confused. She does not know some of the words and pictures. She does not know what to do.
+
+She looks at Miss Lee and sees that she is smiling. She sees that Miss Lee has a clear jar on her desk. Inside the jar, there are many crayons. Anna feels happy. She thinks that maybe Miss Lee will let her use the crayons after the exam. She decides to try her best and answer the questions. She hopes that Miss Lee will like her answers and give her some crayons. She thinks that crayons are the best reward for an exam.
+Lily likes to bathe with her white glove. She puts soap on it and rubs it on her arms and legs. She makes bubbles and laughs. She pretends her glove is a bunny and hops it on the water.
+
+But one day, her white glove is gone. She looks in her toy box, under her bed, and in the closet. She cannot find it. She feels sad and cries. She does not want to bathe without her white glove.
+

+
+Lily nods and smiles. Mommy takes her to the laundry room and shows her the white glove. It is fluffy and soft. Lily hugs it and says, "Thank you, Mommy. I love my white glove. Can I bathe with it now?"
+
+Mommy says, "Of course, Lily. Let's go to the bathroom and fill the tub. You can bathe with your white glove and make bubbles and laugh. And I will bathe with you and play with you. How does that sound?"

+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go up the tree!" Ben says. He runs to the tree and grabs a branch. He pulls himself up and swings to another branch.
+
+"No, Ben, it's too high!" Lily says. She is scared of the tree. She sits on the grass and watches Ben. She does not want to fall and hurt herself.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can see the whole garden from here!" Ben says. He is happy and proud. He reaches for another branch. But the branch is weak and breaks. Ben falls down and lands on the grass. He cries out loud.

+
+"Ben, we are sorry you got hurt. We hope you feel better soon. But you should not climb the tree without us. It is too dangerous. You could have broken your bones or worse." Mom and Dad say.
+
+"I know, Mom, Dad. I was silly and adventurous. I wanted to see the birds and the sky. But I should have listened to Lily. She was smart and careful. She helped me and hugged me. She is a good sister." Ben says.
+
+Mom and Dad smile and hug Ben. They are glad he is sorry and grateful. They are proud of Lily. They hope Ben and Lily will always be kind and safe. They love them very much.

+Tom liked to work with his dad in the garage. His dad had many tools and machines that made loud noises and bright lights. Tom's favorite was the laser.

+
+One day, Tom's dad had to go to the store to buy some nails. He told Tom to stay in the house and not touch anything in the garage. Tom nodded, but he was curious.

+
+Mom says, "You are right, Anna. Ben should protect his shoe. But Rex is not mean. He is just playful. He doesn't know that the shoe is not a toy. Maybe Ben can teach Rex to share. Then they can be friends."

+
+"Mom, look at my lion!" Ben shouted, holding up a stuffed toy. "It can roar and bite!"
+
+"Mom, look at my doll!" Lily said, waving a plastic figure. "She can dance and sing!"
+
+Mom looked at them and smiled. She was happy that they were having fun, but she also wished they would be quieter. She had a lot of work to do and she could not concentrate.
+
+"Kids, I love your toys, but can you please play a little softer?" she asked. "You are disturbing me and I need to finish this report."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded, but they did not really understand. They thought mom was just watching them and drinking coffee. They did not know what a report was or why it was important. They went back to playing, but soon they got bored of their toys. They wanted to do something more interesting.

+They looked around and saw mom's coffee cup. It was brown and hot and smelled good. They wondered what it tasted like. They decided to try it.
+
+They tiptoed to the table and reached for the cup. Mom did not see them because she was typing on her laptop. They grabbed the cup and lifted it to their mouths.
+
+But they did not like it at all. It was bitter and strong and burned their tongues. They spit it out and made a loud noise.
+
+"Yuck! This is gross!" Ben said.
+
+"Ew! This is nasty!" Lily said.
+
+Mom heard them and turned around. She saw them holding her coffee cup and making faces. She was shocked and angry.
+
+"Kids, what are you doing?" she yelled. "That is my coffee! You are not supposed to drink it! You could have hurt yourselves!"
+
+She took the cup from them and put it back on the table. She checked their mouths and made sure they were not hurt. She was relieved that they were okay, but she was also upset that they disturbed her work and wasted her coffee.
+
+She scolded them and told them to never touch her coffee again. She explained that it was for grown-ups only and that it helped her stay awake and do her work. She said that they should play with their own toys and not bother her.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They did not mean to make mom angry or ruin her coffee. They just wanted to try something new and interesting. They apologized to mom and hugged her. They promised to be good and quiet.
+
+Mom forgave them and hugged them back. She understood that they were curious and playful, but she also wanted them to learn to respect her things and her time. She told them that she loved them and that she would play with them later, after she finished her work.
+
+They said that they loved her too and that they would wait for her. They went back to the living room and picked up their toys. They played softly and politely, without disturbing mom or her coffee.

+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy trucks and blocks. They liked to load the trucks with blocks and drive them around the room. They made a big pile of blocks and pretended it was a palace.
+
+But then, Tom saw that Lily had taken his favorite truck. It was red and shiny and had a loud horn. He wanted it back. He ran to Lily and tried to grab the truck from her. Lily did not want to give it up. She held on tight and said, "No, it's mine!"
+
+They both pulled and tugged on the truck. They were angry and loud. They did not see that their palace of blocks was falling down. The blocks crashed and scattered on the floor. Some of them hit Tom and Lily and hurt them.
+
+They stopped fighting and looked at the mess. They felt sad and sorry. They had broken their palace and their truck. They had hurt each other and themselves. They said, "We're sorry" and hugged each other.

+
+The thief feels sorry. He is scared and ashamed. He says, "I am sorry. I was bad. I was a thief. I will not do it again. Please forgive me."
+
+Timmy forgives him. He is kind and brave. He says, "It is okay. I forgive you. But you should not steal. You should ask. You should share. You should be good."
+
+The thief agrees. He learns his lesson. He says, "You are right. I should not steal. I should ask. I should share. I should be good. Thank you for forgiving me. Can we be friends?"
+
+Timmy smiles. He says, "Yes, we can be friends. Do you want to play with my toy car?"

+They go to the slide and have fun. They play with the toy car. They laugh and talk. They are friends. They are happy.
+Lila is a woman who likes to go to the park. She likes to see the birds, the flowers and the children. She always brings some bread to feed the birds. She thinks they are amazing.
+
+One day, she meets a boy at the park. He is wearing a red hat and a blue shirt. He is playing with a ball. He sees Lila and says hello.
+
+"Hello, what is your name?" Lila asks.
+
+"My name is Ben. What is your name?" the boy says.
+
+"My name is Lila. Do you like the park?" Lila says.
+
+"Yes, I like the park. It is fun. Do you like the park?" the boy says.
+
+"Yes, I like the park. It is beautiful. Do you want to feed the birds with me?" Lila says.
+
+"OK, I want to feed the birds with you. Can I have some bread?" the boy says.
+
+"Sure, you can have some bread. Here you go. Be gentle with the birds. They are amazing." Lila says.
+
+They go to the bench and break the bread into small pieces. They throw the bread to the birds. The birds come and eat the bread. They make happy noises. Lila and Ben smile and laugh. They have a good time at the park. They make a new friend.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a big helicopter that can fly in the air. Ben has a small car that can drive on the floor. They are having fun making noises and pretending to go on adventures.
+
+"Look, Anna, my car can go fast!" Ben says, zooming his car around the sofa.
+
+"That's nice, Ben, but my helicopter can go higher!" Anna says, lifting her helicopter up and down.
+
+"I want to try your helicopter, Anna. Can I have a turn?" Ben asks, looking at the helicopter with envy.
+
+"No, Ben, this is my helicopter. You have your car. Go play with your car," Anna says, holding her helicopter close to her chest.
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He wants to play with the helicopter too. He thinks Anna is not being fair. He decides to take the helicopter from Anna when she is not looking. He waits for a moment when Anna is busy watching the TV. Then he sneaks up behind her and grabs the helicopter from her hands.
+
+"Hey, give that back, Ben! That's mine!" Anna shouts, turning around and seeing Ben with her helicopter.
+
+"No, it's mine now! I want to play with it!" Ben shouts back, running away with the helicopter.
+
+Anna chases after Ben, trying to get her helicopter back. They run around the living room, bumping into the furniture and knocking over the lamps. They are making a lot of noise and mess.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" their mom says, coming into the living room. She sees Anna and Ben fighting over the helicopter. She sees the toys and the things scattered on the floor. She is not happy.
+
+"What are you doing, Anna and Ben? Why are you fighting over the helicopter? Why are you making such a mess?" their mom asks, taking the helicopter from Ben and putting it on the table.
+
+"Mom, Ben took my helicopter! He is not being nice!" Anna says, pointing at Ben.
+
+"Mom, Anna did not let me have a turn! She is not being fair!" Ben says, pointing at Anna.
+
+Their mom sighs. She knows they both want to play with the helicopter, but they need to learn to share and be kind. She has an idea.
+
+"Listen, Anna and Ben, I have a challenge for you. If you want to play with the helicopter, you need to complete a task first. You need to clean up the living room and put all the toys and the things back where they belong. You need to work together and help each other. You need to be obedient and do what I say. If you do that, then you can take turns playing with the helicopter. Do you understand?" their mom says, looking at them.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They want to play with the helicopter, but they also want to make their mom happy. They agree to do the task. They start to pick up the toys and the things and put them in the right places. They say sorry to each other and share the work. They are obedient and do what their mom says.
+
+Their mom smiles. She is proud of them. She sees them working together and being kind. She sees them completing the task. She gives them a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Good job, Anna and Ben! You have completed the task. You have cleaned up the living room. You have been obedient and done what I said. Now you can play with the helicopter. But remember, you need to share and take turns. You need to be nice and fair. Do you promise?" their mom says, giving them the helicopter.
+
+Anna and Ben promise. They thank their mom and take the helicopter. They play with it happily, taking turns and making noises. They are having fun and being friends. They are glad they completed the task. They are glad they have the helicopter. They are glad they have their mom.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. They like to slide on the big slide. They climb up the stairs and sit on the top. They hold hands and smile.
+
+"Ready, Lily?" Tom asks.
+
+"Ready, Tom!" Lily says.
+
+They slide down fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and shout. They land on the soft grass. They hug each other.
+
+"That was fun!" Tom says.
+
+"Let's do it again!" Lily says.
+
+They run back to the stairs. But they see a big dog. The dog is barking. The dog is running to the slide. The dog is angry.
+
+"Help!" Tom and Lily cry.
+
+They are scared. They look for their mom. Their mom is on the other side of the park. She is talking to a friend. She does not see the dog.
+
+"What do we do?" Lily asks.
+
+"I have an idea!" Tom says.
+
+He sees a rope. The rope is hanging from a tree. The rope is near the slide. He grabs the rope. He pulls it tight. He makes a loop.
+
+"Quick, Lily! Jump on the loop!" Tom says.
+
+Lily jumps on the loop. Tom jumps on the loop. They hold the rope tight. They rise up in the air. They swing over the slide. They swing over the dog. The dog is confused. The dog stops barking. The dog runs away.
+
+"Yay! We did it!" Tom and Lily cheer.
+
+They swing back and forth. They feel happy. They see their mom. Their mom sees them. She smiles and waves.
+
+"Look, mom! We are flying!" Tom and Lily say.
+
+Their mom is proud. She claps and cheers.
+
+"You are very brave and smart!" she says.
+
+She walks to the tree. She helps them down. She hugs them tight.
+
+"I love you, Tom and Lily!" she says.
+
+"I love you, mom!" they say.
+
+They go back to the slide. They slide down again. They have more fun. They are not scared anymore. They are happy.
+Timmy liked to play with his ball. He would roll it on the floor, bounce it on the wall, and catch it in his hands. He had a lot of fun with his ball.
+
+One day, it was very gloomy outside. The sky was gray and the rain was falling. Timmy could not go out and play with his ball. He felt sad and bored.
+
+He looked around his room for something to do. He saw his curtain. It was blue and soft. He had an idea. He took his ball and rolled it under the curtain. Then he lifted the curtain and peeked under it. He saw his ball. He smiled.
+
+He did it again and again. He rolled his ball under the curtain and lifted it to find it. He pretended that the curtain was a cave and the ball was a treasure. He had a lot of fun with his curtain and his ball.
+
+He forgot about the gloomy day. He was happy and busy. He played with his curtain and his ball until his mom called him for lunch. He ran to the kitchen with his ball. He thanked his curtain for the game. He hoped that the sun would come out soon. But he knew that he could always play with his curtain and his ball.
+Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to find a meal. They saw a big house with a lot of food on the table. They smelled something yummy.
+
+"Let's go inside and eat," Ben said.
+
+"But what if someone lives there?" Lily asked.
+
+"Who cares? We are hungry," Ben said.
+
+They sneaked into the house and climbed on the chairs. They saw bread, cheese, fruit, and cake. They started to eat with their hands.
+
+"Wow, this is so good," Ben said.
+
+"I like the cake," Lily said.
+
+They did not hear the door open. They did not see the people who came in. They did not notice the angry faces.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing here?" a man shouted.
+
+"Who are you?" a woman asked.
+
+Ben and Lily dropped their food. They felt scared and embarrassed. They tried to run away, but the people caught them.
+
+"Please, don't hurt us," Ben said.
+
+"We are sorry, we were hungry," Lily said.
+
+The people looked at them. They saw their dirty clothes, their thin faces, and their sad eyes.
+
+"Where are your parents?" the man asked.
+
+"We don't have any," Ben said.
+
+"We live on the street," Lily said.
+
+The people felt sorry for them. They decided to let them stay and eat. They gave them clean clothes and a warm bed. They asked them if they wanted to be their children.
+
+Ben and Lily could not believe it. They hugged the people and said yes. They were happy and grateful. They had found a meal and a family.
+Tom is a boy who likes to play outside. He has a ball, a bike and a dog. His dog is called Spot. Spot is a good dog, but he is very filthy. He likes to roll in the mud and chase the birds.
+
+One day, Tom and Spot go to the park. They see a girl who lives next door. Her name is Anna. Anna is nice, but she is very neat. She wears a pink dress and a bow. She has a doll, a book and a cat. Her cat is called Fluffy. Fluffy is a bad cat, but he is very clean. He likes to sit on the bench and scratch the trees.
+
+"Hi, Tom," Anna says. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+"Hi, Anna," Tom says. "What do you want to play?"
+
+"We can play with my doll and my book," Anna says. "They are fun and pretty."
+
+Tom looks at the doll and the book. He thinks they are boring and silly.
+
+"No, thank you," Tom says. "I want to play with my ball and my bike. They are fast and cool."
+
+Anna looks at the ball and the bike. She thinks they are dirty and noisy.
+
+"No, thank you," Anna says. "I don't like your ball and your bike. They are filthy and loud."
+
+Tom and Anna don't agree. They don't want to play together. They turn away and go to different sides of the park.
+
+Spot and Fluffy see each other. They don't like each other. They start to growl and hiss.
+
+"Spot, come here," Tom says. "Don't speak to that cat. He is mean and snooty."
+
+"Fluffy, come here," Anna says. "Don't speak to that dog. He is gross and smelly."
+
+Spot and Fluffy don't listen. They run towards each other and start to fight. They bite and scratch and claw.
+
+"Stop, stop," Tom and Anna say. "You are hurting each other. You are making a mess."
+
+Tom and Anna run to their pets. They try to pull them apart. They get mud and fur and blood on their clothes and hands.
+
+"Ow, ow," Tom and Anna say. "You are hurting us. You are making us filthy."
+
+Tom and Anna look at each other. They see that they are both filthy. They see that they are both hurt. They see that they are both sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Anna says. "I didn't mean to be rude. Your ball and your bike are not filthy and loud. They are just different."
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Tom says. "I didn't mean to be mean. Your doll and your book are not boring and silly. They are just different."
+
+Tom and Anna smile. They hug each other. They hug their pets.
+
+"Let's be friends," Tom and Anna say. "Let's play together. We can share our toys and our stories. We can learn from each other. We can have fun."
+
+Tom and Anna are happy. They are friends. They are neighbors. They are filthy. But they don't care. They speak to each other. They speak to their pets. They speak to the world.
+Ben and Mia liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games. But they did not like to tidy up. They left their toys on the floor and their books on the bed. Their mom always told them to tidy up before night, but they did not listen.
+
+One night, mom came to their room and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Ben and Mia, you have to tidy up your room. It is night and you have to go to sleep. If you do not tidy up, I will lock the door and you will not come out until morning."
+
+Ben and Mia did not want to tidy up. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, mom, we do not want to tidy up. We want to play. Please do not lock the door. We will tidy up later."
+
+Mom did not listen. She said, "I am sorry, Ben and Mia, but you have to learn. You have to tidy up your room every night. If you do not, you will stay in your room until morning. Good night." She locked the door and left.
+
+Ben and Mia were sad and scared. They did not like to be locked in their room. They did not like the dark. They wished they had tidied up their room. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We will tidy up our room. Please open the door. We do not want to stay in our room until morning."
+
+But mom did not hear them. She was in her room. She was tired and she went to sleep. Ben and Mia cried and hugged each other. They learned their lesson. They decided to tidy up their room every night. They hoped mom would open the door in the morning.
+Sara was a princess who liked to play dress-up. She had a big box of clothes and jewels that her mama gave her. She liked to wear a veil that was soft and shiny. She would rub the veil on her face and pretend she was a fairy.
+
+One day, she heard a loud noise outside. She looked out the window and saw an enormous dragon. The dragon had green scales and red eyes. It was breathing fire and smoke. Sara was scared and ran to her mama.
+
+"Mama, mama, there is a dragon outside!" she cried.
+
+"Don't worry, my darling, it is just a friendly dragon. He is here to play with you. He likes your veil. He thinks it is a magic cloth that can make him invisible," her mama said.
+
+"Really? Can I go and play with him?" Sara asked.
+
+"Of course, but be careful. He is very big and strong. And don't let him take your veil. It is very special to you," her mama said.
+
+Sara put on her veil and went outside. The dragon saw her and smiled. He came closer and sniffed her. He liked her smell. He tried to grab her veil with his claws.
+
+"Hey, that is mine! You can't have it!" Sara said.
+
+"Please, let me have it. I want to be invisible. I don't like being seen by people. They are afraid of me and throw rocks at me," the dragon said.
+
+Sara felt sorry for the dragon. She decided to share her veil with him. She wrapped it around his head and said, "There, now you are invisible. No one can see you."
+
+The dragon was happy. He thanked Sara and gave her a lick. He said, "You are very kind and brave. You are my friend. Can I come and play with you again?"
+
+Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be gentle and quiet. And you have to give me back my veil when we are done. It is very special to me."
+
+The dragon agreed and flew away. Sara waved goodbye and ran back to her mama. She told her everything that happened. Her mama hugged her and said, "You are a wonderful princess. You have a big heart and a big imagination. I am very proud of you."
+Lily was very happy. It was her birthday. She had a cake with candles and balloons. She had friends to play with. She had a colorful dress and a bow in her hair.
+
+"Happy birthday, Lily!" her friends said. They gave her hugs and kisses. They gave her presents. Lily liked presents. She opened them one by one. She said "thank you" to her friends.
+
+She got a doll, a book, a puzzle, and a teddy bear. She liked them all. But her favorite present was from her best friend, Ben. Ben gave her a big box with a ribbon. Lily opened it and saw a beautiful painting. It was a painting of Lily and Ben holding hands in a park. It had many colors: green, blue, yellow, red, and pink.
+
+"Wow, Ben, this is amazing!" Lily said. "Did you make this for me?"
+
+"Yes, I did," Ben said. "I used my paints and brushes. I wanted to give you something special. Do you like it?"
+
+"I love it, Ben!" Lily said. She gave him a big hug. "This is the best present ever. You are the best friend ever."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They put the painting on the wall. They ate cake and played with their friends. They had a lot of fun. It was a very happy birthday.
+Lily was very tired. She had played all day with her toys and her friends. She wanted to go to sleep, but she was afraid of the dark. She hugged her teddy bear and yawned.
+
+"Mommy, can you read me a story?" she asked.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. What story do you want to hear?" Mommy said.
+
+Lily looked at her bookshelf and picked a book with a picture of a lion on the cover. She liked lions. They were big and fierce and had a loud roar.
+
+"Can you read me this one?" she said, handing the book to Mommy.
+
+Mommy smiled and opened the book. She read the story of Leo, the little lion who wanted to be the king of the jungle. He met many animals on his way, like a monkey, a zebra, and a crocodile. He learned how to be brave, kind, and smart.
+
+Lily listened to the story and imagined she was Leo. She roared along with him and made faces at the crocodile. She laughed when the monkey tickled him and smiled when the zebra shared his stripes.
+
+When the story was over, Lily felt sleepy. She yawned again and snuggled with her teddy bear.
+
+"Did you like the story, Lily?" Mommy asked.
+
+"Yes, Mommy. It was a good story. Thank you for reading it to me." Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome, my love. Now, it's time to sleep. Good night, Lily." Mommy said.
+
+She kissed Lily on the forehead and turned off the light. She left the door ajar and went to the living room.
+
+Lily closed her eyes and dreamed of being a lion. She was happy and safe. She did not hear the noise outside. She did not see the shadow in the window. She did not know that a nurse was coming to check on her. She did not know that she was sick. She did not know that Mommy was worried. She only knew that she was tired and that she loved Mommy. And that was enough.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to watch films on the big screen. Today, they go to the cinema with Sara's mom. Sara's mom buys tickets and popcorn for them.
+
+They find their seats in the dark room. Sara and Tom sit next to each other. They are excited to see the film. The film is about a dog and a boy who have adventures. Sara and Tom love dogs and boys.
+
+The film starts. Sara and Tom watch and laugh. The dog is funny and smart. The boy is brave and kind. They help each other and make friends. Sara and Tom think the dog and the boy are useful.
+
+In the middle of the film, Sara feels thirsty. She wants to drink some water. She asks her mom, "Mom, can I have some water, please?"
+
+Her mom says, "Yes, of course. But you have to be quiet and not disturb the other people. Can you do that?"
+
+Sara nods. She says, "Yes, mom. I can be quiet. Thank you, mom."
+
+Her mom gives her a bottle of water. Sara drinks some water and closes the bottle. She puts it in her mom's bag. She says, "Mom, you are useful, too."
+
+Her mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good girl. Now, let's watch the film again."
+
+Sara and Tom watch the film until the end. They clap and cheer. They like the film very much. They hug their mom and thank her for taking them to the cinema. They have a happy day.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they act like they are chefs in a big kitchen. They have pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also have some food to cook with.
+
+"Look, I have a lemon!" Mia says. She holds a yellow fruit in her hand. "We can make lemonade or lemon cake or lemon soup!"
+
+"Yum, I like lemon!" Tom says. He takes the lemon from Mia and smells it. "It smells so good!"
+
+But then Tom has an idea. He wants to play a trick on Mia. He cuts the lemon in half with a knife. He sees the white part and the juicy part inside. He smiles and says, "Hey, Mia, do you want to taste the lemon? It is very sweet and yummy!"
+
+Mia trusts Tom. She thinks he is a good friend. She opens her mouth and says, "Yes, please!" Tom gives her the lemon half and watches her face.
+
+Mia bites the lemon. She makes a funny face. She spits out the lemon. She says, "Blech! That is not sweet! That is sour! That hurts my tongue!"
+
+Tom laughs and laughs. He says, "Ha ha, I fooled you! Lemons are not sweet, they are sour! That was a joke!"
+
+Mia is not happy. She feels sad and angry. She says, "That was not a joke! That was mean! You are not a good friend! You are a bad chef!"
+
+She throws the lemon at Tom. It hits him in the eye. He says, "Ow! That stings! That is not funny! That is mean!"
+
+Now they are both unhappy. They do not want to play pretend anymore. They do not want to be friends anymore. They sit on the floor and cry.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to chase it before it went too far.
+
+One time, the ball went into the bushes. Tom and Lily ran after it, but they could not see it. They heard a loud noise from the bushes. It sounded like a roar. They were scared. What was in the bushes?
+
+They saw a big head poke out of the bushes. It had fur and whiskers and sharp teeth. It was a lion! Tom and Lily were in shock. They did not know what to do. They wanted to run away, but they were frozen.
+
+The lion looked at them and opened its mouth. Tom and Lily thought it was going to eat them. But then, the lion did something surprising. It spat out the ball and gave a friendly purr. It was not a mean lion. It was a nice lion. It just wanted to play with the ball.
+
+Tom and Lily were relieved. They smiled at the lion and thanked it for giving back their ball. The lion nodded and went back into the bushes. Tom and Lily picked up their ball and ran back to their mom. They told her what happened. She did not believe them. She thought they made up the story. But Tom and Lily knew it was true. They saw the lion. It was impressive. They would never forget it.
+Mia and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the garden, where there were many flowers. Mia's favorite flower was the sunflower. She thought it was very attractive, because it was big and yellow and smiled at the sun.
+
+One day, Mia and Ben decided to have a picnic in the garden. They brought some sandwiches, juice, and cookies. They found a nice spot under a big sunflower. They laid a blanket on the grass and started to eat.
+
+"Look, Ben, the sunflower is so pretty!" Mia said, pointing at the flower.
+
+"Yes, it is. But do you know what it does at night?" Ben asked, with a mischievous grin.
+
+"No, what does it do?" Mia asked, curious.
+
+Ben leaned closer and whispered, "It turns into a monster!"
+
+Mia gasped and looked at the sunflower with fear. She did not like monsters. She thought Ben was joking, but he looked very serious.
+
+"Really? How do you know?" Mia asked, shivering.
+
+Ben nodded and said, "I saw it once. It was dark and scary. The sunflower grew teeth and claws and eyes. It made a loud roar and tried to eat me. I ran away as fast as I could."
+
+Mia felt her heart beat faster. She did not want to stay near the sunflower anymore. She grabbed her sandwich and juice and said, "Let's go, Ben. I don't like this place."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "OK, Mia. Let's go. I was just kidding. The sunflower is not a monster. It is just a flower."
+
+Mia looked at him with disbelief. She did not know if he was telling the truth or not. She did not like his joke. She thought it was mean and scary. She said, "Ben, you are not a good friend. You made me afraid. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to upset Mia. He just wanted to have some fun. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was just playing. Please don't be mad at me. I like you. You are my best friend."
+
+Mia looked at him with doubt. She liked Ben, too. He was usually nice and funny. But she did not like his joke. She said, "Maybe we can be friends again. But you have to promise me something."
+
+"What is it?" Ben asked, hopeful.
+
+Mia said, "You have to promise me that you will never lie to me again. And that you will never scare me again. And that you will never say bad things about the sunflower again. It is my favorite flower. And it is not a monster. It is very attractive."
+
+Ben nodded and said, "I promise, Mia. I promise all those things. Can we hug and make up?"
+
+Mia smiled and said, "OK, Ben. We can hug and make up. But don't forget your promise."
+
+They hugged and said sorry to each other. Then they finished their picnic and played in the garden. They stayed away from the sunflower, just in case. They were best friends again.
+Anna likes to play with her zip. She has a zip on her coat, on her bag, and on her toy. She can zip and unzip them fast or slow. She thinks zips are fun.
+
+One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big flag on a pole. The flag is purple, her favorite color. She wants to touch the flag. She runs to the flag and tries to pull it down.
+
+But the flag is too high and too strong. Anna can't reach it or move it. She feels sad and angry. She cries and stamps her feet.
+
+Mom hears Anna and comes to her. She hugs Anna and says, "It's okay, sweetie. The flag is not for playing. The flag is for showing. It shows who lives here and what they like. Purple is a nice color, but you can't have the flag."
+
+Anna stops crying and looks at the flag. She sees other colors on the flag, too. She sees yellow, green, blue, and red. She says, "The flag is pretty. I like all the colors. But I like purple best."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I know, honey. Purple is a lovely color. But you know what? You have something purple, too. Something you can play with and zip and unzip. Do you know what it is?"
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. Then she remembers. She says, "My bag! My bag is purple! And it has a zip!"
+
+Mom says, "That's right! Your bag is purple and it has a zip. Why don't you show me how you zip and unzip your bag? I bet you can do it very well."
+
+Anna nods and runs to her bag. She picks it up and zips and unzips it. She feels happy and proud. She says, "Look, mom! I can zip and unzip my bag! It's fun!"
+
+Mom says, "Good job, Anna! You are very smart and clever. And you have a beautiful purple bag. I love you, sweetie."
+
+Anna says, "I love you, too, mom. And I love my zip. And I love the flag. But I love my zip more."
+Lily liked to tell stories to her toys. She had a blue bear, a yellow duck, and a pink bunny. They were her best friends. She would sit on her bed and make up stories about them. Sometimes they went to the moon, sometimes they had a tea party, sometimes they fought a dragon.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring her toys, but mom said no. She said they might get lost or dirty. Lily was sad, but she did what mom said. She left her toys on the bed and said goodbye.
+
+At the store, Lily saw a lot of things. She saw apples, and books, and clothes. She saw a big red ball. She wanted to play with it, but mom said no. She said they had to hurry. Lily was bored, but she did what mom said. She followed her mom and held her hand.
+
+On the way back, Lily saw a big truck. It was blue, like her bear. It had a loud horn and a shiny grill. She wanted to see it, but mom said no. She said they had to cross the street. Lily was curious, but she did what mom said. She waited for the green light and crossed with mom.
+
+When they got home, Lily ran to her room. She wanted to see her toys and tell them about the store. She wanted to tell them about the ball, and the truck, and the apples. But when she got to her bed, she saw something terrible. Her toys were gone! She looked everywhere, but she could not find them. She felt scared and sad. She cried and cried.
+
+Mom heard her cry and came to her room. She saw Lily and hugged her. She said she was sorry. She said she had a surprise for her. She said she had taken her toys to the store and bought them something useful. She said she had a story to tell her. She opened a bag and showed her what was inside. Lily could not believe her eyes. It was a blue backpack, with a bear, a duck, and a bunny on it. Mom said she had put her toys inside the backpack, so she could take them anywhere she wanted. She said they were safe and happy. She said they had a story to tell her too.
+
+Lily smiled and wiped her tears. She hugged mom and thanked her. She took the backpack and opened it. She saw her toys and hugged them too. She said she was sorry for leaving them. She said she loved them. She said she wanted to hear their story. They nodded and smiled. They said they wanted to hear her story too. They said they were her best friends. They said they liked the backpack. They said it was useful. Lily agreed. She put the backpack on and sat on her bed. She started to tell them a story. It was about a blue truck, a big red ball, and a lot of apples. It was a good story. They all listened and laughed. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big box and some crayons. They want to make a house for their toys.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a red crayon. I can rub it on the box and make a door," Anna says.
+
+"That's good, Anna. I have a blue crayon. I can rub it on the box and make a window," Ben says.
+
+They rub and rub until the box looks like a house. They put their toys inside and pretend they are a family.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Bear. Welcome to our house. Do you like it?" Anna asks.
+
+"Hello, Mrs. Rabbit. Thank you for inviting me. Your house is very nice," Ben says.
+
+They are having fun until they hear a loud noise. It is the mailman. He has a big bag of letters and he is looking for a post.
+
+"Where can I put these letters?" the mailman asks.
+
+He sees the box and thinks it is a post. He puts the letters on top of the box and pushes it down.
+
+"Oh no! Our house!" Anna and Ben cry.
+
+They run to the box and try to lift it up. But it is too heavy. Their toys are trapped inside.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing? That's not a post. That's our house!" Anna says.
+
+"Oops, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I thought it was a post. It looked like a post," the mailman says.
+
+He helps them lift the box and gives them back their toys.
+
+"I'm sorry I ruined your house. It was very important to you," the mailman says.
+
+"It's okay. We can make another one. But next time, please be careful. Our house is not a post," Ben says.
+
+The mailman nods and smiles. He gives them a sticker and a candy.
+
+"Here, this is for you. You are very good kids. And your house was very pretty. Maybe you can make a sign that says 'house' so I don't make the same mistake again," the mailman says.
+
+"Thank you, Mr. Mailman. That's a good idea. We will make a sign," Anna says.
+
+They wave goodbye to the mailman and go back to their box. They rub and rub with their crayons and make a new house. They also make a sign that says 'house' and stick it on the front.
+
+They put their toys inside and play again.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Bear. Welcome to our new house. Do you like it?" Anna asks.
+
+"Hello, Mrs. Rabbit. Thank you for inviting me. Your new house is very nice. And I like your sign. It is very important," Ben says.
+
+They hug and smile. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They think it is a fun toy.
+
+"Let's play hair salon!" Lily says. She takes some scissors and a comb from the box. "I will serve you a haircut, Ben."
+
+"OK, Lily. But be careful with the scissors. They are sharp." Ben says. He sits on a chair and lets Lily comb his hair.
+
+Lily cuts Ben's hair. She cuts a lot. She makes his hair very short. She thinks he looks funny.
+
+"Look, Ben! You have a new haircut!" Lily says. She shows him a mirror.
+
+Ben looks at the mirror. He does not like his haircut. He thinks he looks silly.
+
+"Lily! What did you do to my hair? It is too short! I look like a baby!" Ben says. He is angry and sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I wanted to serve you a haircut. I thought you would like it." Lily says. She is sorry and scared.
+
+The twins hear their mom coming. They hide the scissors and the comb. They hope their mom will not see their hair.
+
+But their mom sees their hair. She is surprised and worried.
+
+"Who gave you this haircut, Lily and Ben?" She asks.
+
+The twins are quiet. They do not want to tell.
+
+"It was dark in the garage. We could not see well." Lily says.
+
+"We wanted to play hair salon. We did not mean to." Ben says.
+
+Their mom sighs. She is not happy, but she is not angry.
+
+"Come on, Lily and Ben. Let's go to the real hair salon. They will fix your hair." She says.
+
+The twins follow their mom. They are glad she is not angry. They hope the real hair salon will make their hair look better. They learn a lesson. They will not play with scissors again.
+Lily was a big sister now. She had a baby brother named Ben. Mom and Dad brought Ben home from the hospital. They put him in the crib in Lily's room. Lily wanted to see Ben, but Mom said he was sleeping.
+
+"Can I say hello to him?" Lily asked.
+
+"When he wakes up, you can," Mom said. "But you have to be gentle and quiet. He is very small and new."
+
+Lily nodded. She waited and waited. She looked at the crib. It had a blue blanket and a teddy bear. She wondered what Ben looked like. She hoped he would like her.
+
+After a while, she heard a soft cry. She ran to the crib. She saw Ben's face. He had brown hair and blue eyes. He looked like Dad. He was cute.
+
+"Hi, Ben," Lily whispered. "I'm Lily. I'm your big sister. I'm happy you are here. Welcome to our family."
+
+She reached out and touched his hand. He stopped crying. He looked at her and smiled. She smiled back. She felt warm and proud.
+
+Mom came in and saw them. She smiled too. She hugged Lily and Ben.
+
+"You are a good big sister, Lily," she said. "You and Ben will be great friends."
+
+Lily nodded. She loved Ben. She loved Mom. She loved being a big sister. She was happy.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to be drivers and race each other on the floor.
+
+One day, Tom finds a new car in his toy box. It is big and red and has a button on the side. Tom pushes the button and the car makes a loud noise. He likes the noise and pushes the button again and again.
+
+Mia hears the noise and comes to see. She sees Tom's new car and wants to play with it too. She asks Tom, "Can I have a turn?"
+
+Tom says, "No, this is my car. You have your own cars."
+
+Mia says, "But I want to try the button. Please, Tom, let me have a turn."
+
+Tom says, "No, go away. This is mine."
+
+Mia gets angry and tries to grab the car from Tom. Tom holds the car tight and squeezes it. The car makes a louder noise and the button pops out. Tom and Mia are both surprised and scared.
+
+The car stops making noise and does not move. Tom and Mia look at the broken car and the button on the floor. They feel sad and sorry.
+
+Tom says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to break the car. I was being mean and selfish."
+
+Mia says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I shouldn't have tried to take the car from you. I was being rude and greedy."
+
+Tom and Mia hug and say, "I forgive you."
+
+They pick up the button and the car and go to their mom. They tell her what happened and ask her to fix the car. Mom says, "I'm glad you two are sorry and forgive each other. That is very good and kind. I will try to fix the car, but it might not work again. Next time, you should share and play nicely with your toys."
+
+Tom and Mia say, "We will, mom. Thank you."
+
+They go back to their toy box and find another car to play with. They take turns to be the driver and have fun. They are happy and friendly. They learn that sharing is better than squeezing.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the woods. They find a hut made of sticks and leaves. They want to go inside.
+
+"Can we go in the hut?" Mia asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone lives there," Tom says.
+
+"Let's knock and see," Mia says. She knocks on the door. No one answers.
+
+"Maybe no one is home. Let's go in and look," Mia says. She opens the door and goes inside.
+
+"Wait for me," Tom says. He follows Mia.
+
+The hut is small and dark. There is a bed, a table, a chair and a lamp. There are also some books, some toys and some clothes.
+
+"Wow, this is a nice hut. I wonder who lives here," Mia says. She picks up a book and looks at the pictures.
+
+"Maybe it's a fairy or a gnome," Tom says. He tries on a hat and a coat. They are too big for him.
+
+"Or maybe it's a bear or a wolf," Mia says. She hears a growl outside.
+
+They look out the window and see a big, brown bear. The bear is angry. It sees the hut and smells the children.
+
+"Uh-oh, it is a bear. And it looks mad. We have to get out of here," Tom says.
+
+He drops the hat and the coat and runs to the door. Mia drops the book and follows him.
+
+They try to open the door, but it is stuck. The bear is coming closer.
+
+"Help, help, we are trapped," Mia cries.
+
+"Push, push, we have to open the door," Tom says.
+
+They push the door with all their strength. The door opens a little bit. They squeeze through the gap. The bear is almost there.
+
+"Run, run, we have to run fast," Tom says.
+
+They run as fast as they can. They run through the woods. They run to their home.
+
+They are safe. They hug each other.
+
+"Are you okay?" Tom asks Mia.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay. Are you okay?" Mia asks Tom.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay. That was scary," Tom says.
+
+"Very scary. I'm sorry we went in the hut. It was not a good idea," Mia says.
+
+"It's okay. We didn't know. But we should not do it again," Tom says.
+
+"No, we should not. We should respect other people's homes. And we should be careful in the woods," Mia says.
+
+"Yes, we should. We should stick together and watch out for each other," Tom says.
+
+They look at each other and smile.
+
+"Promise?" Mia says.
+
+"Promise," Tom says.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to joke a lot. They were very happy when their mom and dad said they could go to camp with them. They packed their bags and got in the car. They sang songs and played games on the way.
+
+When they got to camp, they saw a big tent and a fire. Mom and dad said they could help set up the tent and gather some wood. Tim and Sam did as they were told, but they also joked with each other. They hid each other's bags, they threw pine cones at each other, and they made funny faces.
+
+At night, they ate hot dogs and marshmallows by the fire. Mom and dad told them stories and sang songs. Tim and Sam were still joking, but they were also getting sleepy. Mom and dad said it was time to go to bed. They gave them a hug and a kiss and told them to sleep well.
+
+Tim and Sam went inside the tent and got into their sleeping bags. They whispered to each other and giggled. They were not tired at all. They were restless. They wanted to joke some more. They decided to sneak out of the tent and scare mom and dad.
+
+They crawled out of the tent and tiptoed to the fire. They saw mom and dad sitting on a log, holding hands. They looked very happy. Tim and Sam thought it was funny. They put on some masks and jumped out of the bushes. They yelled, "Boo!"
+
+Mom and dad were very scared. They screamed and jumped up. They dropped their mugs and spilled their tea. They looked at Tim and Sam and saw their masks. They were very angry. They scolded them and told them to go back to the tent. They said they were not joking, they were being naughty. They said they ruined their night and they were very disappointed.
+
+Tim and Sam felt very bad. They took off their masks and said they were sorry. They ran back to the tent and cried. They wished they had not joked so much. They wished they had listened to mom and dad. They wished they had gone to sleep. They had a bad ending.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their dolls in the garden. Sara had a pink doll with long hair and a dress. Ben had a blue doll with a hat and a car. They were having fun, until Ben wanted to play with Sara's doll.
+
+"Can I have your doll for a bit?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, this is my doll. You have your own doll," Sara said.
+
+"But I like your doll. She is pretty and has hair. My doll is boring and has no hair," Ben said.
+
+He tried to grab Sara's doll from Sara's hands. Sara did not like that. She pulled her doll back and slapped Ben on the face.
+
+"Ow! That hurt! Why did you do that?" Ben cried.
+
+"You are mean! You can't take my doll! Go away!" Sara shouted.
+
+They both started to cry and scream. Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"What is going on here? Why are you fighting?" Mom asked.
+
+"Sara slapped me! She won't let me play with her doll!" Ben said.
+
+"Ben tried to take my doll! He is wild and rude!" Sara said.
+
+Mom looked at them and shook her head.
+
+"Listen, both of you. You can't slap or take things from each other. That is not nice. You have to share and be kind. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" Mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben thought about it. They felt sorry for what they did.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. I shouldn't have tried to take your doll. Can I play with her for a bit, please?" Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I shouldn't have slapped you. You can play with her for a bit, but be gentle," Sara said.
+
+They hugged and said sorry to each other. Mom smiled and gave them a kiss.
+
+"That's better. I'm proud of you. You learned a good lesson today. Sharing and kindness are important. Now, why don't you play together nicely?" Mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben nodded and agreed. They played with their dolls happily and peacefully. They learned to respect each other's things and feelings. They also learned that pink and blue can be friends.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and pictures on the wall. One day, Sara found a lovely dress in the closet. It was pink and sparkly and had a big bow. Sara wanted to wear it and pretend to be a princess.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a lovely dress!" Sara said. "Can I wear it, please?"
+
+Ben looked at the dress and frowned. He did not like pink or sparkly things. He liked cars and trucks and dinosaurs. He wanted to play with his new toy car that made loud noises.
+
+"No, Sara, you can't wear it," Ben said. "It is too lovely for you. It is mine. I want to hang it on the wall and look at it."
+
+Sara was sad and angry. She did not understand why Ben wanted to hang the dress on the wall. She thought it was silly and mean. She tried to take the dress from Ben, but he held it tight.
+
+"Give it to me, Ben!" Sara shouted. "It is not yours. It is mine. I want to wear it and be a princess."
+
+"No, Sara, you can't have it!" Ben shouted back. "It is not yours. It is mine. I want to hang it and be quiet."
+
+They pulled and pushed and yelled. They made a big mess in their room. They knocked down their toys and books and pictures. They did not hear their mom coming up the stairs.
+
+"What is going on here?" their mom asked. She was not happy. She saw the lovely dress in Ben's hand and the tears in Sara's eyes. She saw the broken toys and the ripped books and the fallen pictures. She did not like the noise and the chaos.
+
+"Sara and Ben, you are both in trouble," their mom said. "You need to share and be nice to each other. You need to clean up this mess and say sorry. And you need to learn that lovely things are not for hanging, but for wearing or playing or giving."
+Ben and Mia were playing in the basement. They found a big box behind some old toys. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It might be something bad." Mia said.
+
+They lifted the lid of the box. Inside, they saw something shiny and round. It was glowing with different colors. It looked like a ball, but not a regular ball.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know. It's pretty. Can we touch it?" Mia asked.
+
+They reached out their hands to touch the glowing ball. But as soon as they touched it, the ball made a loud noise. It sounded like a beep.
+
+"Ouch, that hurt!" Ben said.
+
+"Me too, it's hot!" Mia said.
+
+They quickly pulled back their hands. They saw that their fingers had red marks on them. They felt scared and sad.
+
+"Let's get out of here!" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Mia said.
+
+They ran out of the basement. They left the box and the glowing ball behind. They never played with them again. They learned that some things are better left alone.
+Anna liked to cook with her mom. They made cakes and pies and soup and salad. Anna learned how to mix and stir and chop and pour. She had fun in the kitchen.
+
+One day, Anna's mom had a friend over. Her friend spoke a different language. Anna did not understand her words. She felt confused and shy. She wanted to talk to her mom's friend, but she did not know how.
+
+"Can I cook with you?" Anna asked her mom.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. You can help me make some cookies for our guest. She likes chocolate and nuts." Her mom said.
+
+Anna smiled and put on her apron. She followed her mom to the kitchen. Her mom's friend came with them. She smiled at Anna and said something in her language.
+
+"What did she say?" Anna asked her mom.
+
+"She said you are very cute and she is happy to meet you." Her mom said.
+
+Anna blushed and said thank you. She tried to say it in her mom's friend's language, but it was difficult. She made a funny sound and they all laughed.
+
+Anna and her mom's friend started to cook together. They measured and rolled and cut and baked. They used their hands and their eyes and their noses to communicate. They showed each other what to do and how to do it. They had fun in the kitchen.
+
+Anna learned that cooking is a language too. A language that everyone can understand and enjoy. A language that is not difficult, but delicious.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But their room is very messy. There are toys everywhere. Mom is not happy.
+
+"Look at this mess!" Mom says. "You need to clean up your room. It is time for work."
+
+Sara and Ben do not want to work. They want to play. They try to hide their toys under the bed and in the closet. But Mom sees them.
+
+"That is not work. That is cheating. You need to spread your toys on the floor. Then you need to put them in the right boxes. You need to be organized."
+
+Sara and Ben sigh. They do what Mom says. They spread their toys on the floor. They see cars, dolls, blocks, books and more. They find the boxes with the pictures of the toys. They put the cars in the car box, the dolls in the doll box, and so on.
+
+"Good job!" Mom says. "Now your room is clean and organized. You can play with your toys, but only one box at a time. And when you are done, you need to put them back in the box."
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They are happy. They choose a box to play with. They say thank you to Mom. They learn that work can be fun.
+Tom and Sue like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to race them on the floor and make loud noises.
+
+One day, Tom finds a new car in his toy box. It is shiny and silver and very hard. He looks at the tag and sees a word he does not know: steel. He shows it to Sue and says, "Look, I have a steel car. It is better than your cars."
+
+Sue feels sad and angry. She likes her cars and does not want Tom to say they are bad. She says, "No, your car is not better. It is too heavy and cold. And it can hurt other cars if you crash them. You should be careful with your steel car."
+
+Tom does not listen to Sue. He thinks his steel car is the best and he wants to win the race. He puts his car on the floor and says, "Ready, set, go!" He pushes his car hard and fast. He does not see that Sue's car is in front of him. He hits Sue's car with his steel car and makes a loud bang.
+
+Sue's car breaks into pieces. She cries and picks up the pieces. She says, "Look what you did! You broke my car! You are mean and you do not share. I do not want to play with you anymore."
+
+Tom feels sorry and scared. He did not mean to break Sue's car. He likes Sue and he does not want her to be mad at him. He says, "I am sorry, Sue. I did not see your car. I was not careful with my steel car. I will change and be nice. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Sue looks at Tom and sees that he is sorry. She stops crying and says, "OK, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to share your cars and be careful. And you have to help me fix my car."
+
+Tom nods and says, "OK, Sue. I will share and be careful. And I will help you fix your car. We can use glue and tape and make it new again."
+
+They hug and smile. They put their cars away and go to the kitchen. They ask their mom for some glue and tape and some cookies. They sit at the table and work on Sue's car. They talk and laugh and eat cookies. They are happy and they are friends.
+Lily hated vests. She hated how they felt on her skin. She hated how they looked on her. She hated how her mom always made her wear them when it was cold.
+
+One day, mom gave Lily a new vest. It was orange. Lily hated orange. It was too bright and too loud. Lily did not want to wear the orange vest. She cried and kicked and screamed.
+
+Mom was angry. She said Lily had to wear the vest or she could not go outside. Lily loved outside. She loved the sun and the grass and the flowers. She did not want to stay inside. She wanted to play with her friends.
+
+Lily had an idea. She put on the vest, but she hid a pair of scissors in her pocket. She said she was sorry and she hugged mom. Mom smiled and said she was proud of Lily. She said Lily could go outside now.
+
+Lily ran outside. She saw her friends. They were playing with a ball. Lily wanted to join them. But first, she took out the scissors. She cut the vest into pieces. She threw the pieces in the air. She felt free and happy.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A big dog saw the pieces of vest. The dog liked orange. The dog thought the pieces of vest were toys. The dog ran after the pieces of vest. The dog saw Lily. The dog thought Lily was a toy too. The dog bit Lily. Lily screamed. It hurt a lot. Lily wished she had not cut the vest. She wished she had listened to mom. She wished she had not hated vests.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big bowl, a spoon, some flour, some water and some salt. They poured everything in the bowl and started to stir.
+
+"Stir, stir, stir!" Ben said. "We are making a cake!"
+
+"Stir, stir, stir!" Lily echoed. "A cake for Mommy and Daddy!"
+
+They stirred and stirred until the bowl was full of sticky dough. They smiled at each other and licked the spoon.
+
+"Let's put it in the oven!" Ben said.
+
+"OK!" Lily said.
+
+They carried the bowl to the oven and opened the door. But they saw something scary inside. It was a big, black, furry spider. It had eight legs and eight eyes and it looked angry.
+
+"Ah!" Ben and Lily screamed. They dropped the bowl and ran away.
+
+The spider crawled out of the oven and saw the mess. It saw the dough, the spoon, the flour, the water and the salt. It saw the mail on the table that Mommy had left there. It saw a letter with a picture of a spider on it. It was from the zoo. It said: "We are looking for our missing spider. Please call us if you find it."
+
+The spider was happy. It had found its home. It grabbed the letter and ran out of the door.
+
+Ben and Lily hid behind the couch. They heard the door slam. They peeked out and saw the spider was gone. They saw the oven was empty. They saw the mail was missing.
+
+"Where did it go?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "But I don't want to play in the kitchen anymore."
+
+"Me neither," Ben said. "Let's go to the living room and watch TV."
+
+They ran to the living room and turned on the TV. They saw a show about animals. They saw a lion, a monkey, a giraffe and a spider.
+
+"Look!" Lily said. "It's the spider!"
+
+"Maybe it's the same one," Ben said.
+
+They watched the spider on the TV. It was not scary anymore. It was funny and friendly. It had a name. It was called Spotty.
+
+"Spotty is nice," Lily said.
+
+"Yes, he is," Ben said. "But I still don't want to make a cake with him."
+Ben and Lily were playing outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They had fun throwing snowballs at each other. But soon they felt cold and wet.
+
+"Let's go home, Lily. I'm cold and hungry," Ben said.
+
+"Me too, Ben. But what about our snowman? He will be lonely," Lily said.
+
+They looked at their snowman. He had a smile on his face, but he looked cold too.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily. Our snowman has a hat and a scarf. He will be warm. And he has the sun and the birds to keep him company. We can come back tomorrow and play with him again," Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben. You are right. Let's go home and have some hot chocolate and cookies. Maybe we can make another snowman tomorrow," Lily said.
+
+They said goodbye to their snowman and ran home. They closed the door behind them and felt the warmth of their home. They hugged their mom and dad and told them about their snowman. They had some hot chocolate and cookies and felt happy and cozy.
+
+The moral of the story is: It is good to have fun and be creative, but it is also important to take care of yourself and your family. You can always come back to your friends and your creations, but you need a warm and safe home to rest and recharge.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, Lily's mom said they had to move. Lily was sad. She did not want to leave Ben.
+
+"Why do we have to move, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Because I am getting married, sweetie. And my new husband lives far away. He is very nice. You will like him," mom said.
+
+Lily did not like him. She did not like mom's new husband. She thought he was stupid. He had a big nose and a loud voice. He did not play with dolls and cars. He only watched TV and read books.
+
+Lily and Ben said goodbye. They hugged and cried. They promised to write letters and call each other. Lily gave Ben her favorite doll. Ben gave Lily his favorite car.
+
+Lily and mom moved to the new house. Lily hated it. It was small and dirty. It had no garden and no toys. Mom's new husband was mean. He yelled at Lily and mom. He did not let them have fun. He did not let Lily talk to Ben.
+
+Lily missed Ben. She missed her old house. She missed her dolls and cars. She wished mom never got married. She wished they never moved. She wished mom's new husband would go away. She wished she could be happy again.
+Tom and Anna were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toy cars and trucks. One day, they decided to drive to the park with their mom. They put on their coats and hats and got in the car.
+
+"Can we have cocoa at the park, mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. There is a cafe near the swings. We can have cocoa and cookies there," mom said.
+
+Tom and Anna smiled. They loved cocoa and cookies. They looked out the window and saw the trees and houses go by. They saw a big truck with a lot of boxes on it. They wondered what was inside the boxes.
+
+They got to the park and parked the car. They ran to the swings and slid down the slide. They had a lot of fun. Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy to see them happy.
+
+After a while, mom said, "Are you ready for cocoa and cookies?"
+
+"Yes, mom!" Tom and Anna said.
+
+They followed mom to the cafe. They saw a sign that said "Cocoa and Cookies". They went inside and sat at a table. Mom ordered cocoa and cookies for them. They waited for their treat.
+
+Then, they heard a loud noise. They looked out the window and saw the big truck with the boxes. It had crashed into a pole. The boxes had fallen off the truck and spilled on the street. Some of the boxes were open. Tom and Anna gasped. They saw what was inside the boxes.
+
+Toys! Lots and lots of toys! There were dolls and cars and trucks and balls and puzzles and books and more. Tom and Anna couldn't believe their eyes. They wanted to go and see the toys.
+
+"Mom, can we go and see the toys?" Tom asked.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Anna said.
+
+Mom looked at the truck and the toys. She saw the driver get out of the truck. He looked sad and scared. He saw the toys on the street. He looked more sad and scared.
+
+Mom said, "No, sweeties. We can't go and see the toys. They are not ours. They belong to the driver. He was taking them to the store. He had an accident. He needs help. We should stay here and drink our cocoa and eat our cookies. Maybe we can share some with him. He might feel better."
+

He has hair on his head. He looks like a cloud. And he is very special. He is a rare breed of rabbit. He has a condition called alopecia. That means he loses some of his hair sometimes. But that doesn't make him less beautiful or lovable. He is still your Fluffy. And you love him, right?"

+
+Her mom said, "That's right. And he loves you too. He doesn't care what the boy said. He only cares about you. Now, let's go and find a nice spot to have a picnic. And maybe we can find some other nice kids who want to play with you and Fluffy."

+He squeezes some lotion on his hand and rubs it on Anna's arms and legs. He says, "There, now you have lotion. Does it feel better?"
+
+Anna says, "Yes, it feels better. Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend." She smiles and hugs him.
+
+They hear a loud noise. It is a truck. It is big and yellow. It has a horn and a siren. It is very noisy. It is coming to their garden. They are scared.
+
+They run to the fence and lean on it. They look at the truck. They see a man. He is wearing a helmet and a vest. He has a hose and a ladder. He is a firefighter. He says, "Hello, kids. Don't be afraid. I am here to help. There is a fire in the house next door. I need to put it out. Can you stay here and be safe?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, we will stay here and be safe. You are brave. You can put out the fire."
+
+The firefighter says, "Thank you, kids. You are smart and kind. I will be back soon." He goes to the truck and drives to the house next door. He turns on the hose and sprays water on the fire. He climbs the ladder and breaks the window. He goes inside and saves the people and the pets. He is a hero.
+
+Anna and Ben watch him. They clap and cheer. They are happy. They say, "Hooray for the firefighter! He is amazing. He saved the day."
+
+The firefighter comes back. He says, "The fire is out. Everyone is safe. You did a good job staying here and being calm. I am proud of you. Do you want to see the truck?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Yes, we want to see the truck. It is cool. Can we touch it?"
+
+The firefighter says, "Sure, you can touch it. But be careful. It is hot and dirty. And don't forget your lotion. You need to protect your skin from the sun."
+
+He takes them to the truck. He shows them the horn, the siren, the hose and the ladder. He lets them sit in the driver's seat and wear his helmet. He gives them stickers and badges. He says, "You are honorary firefighters. You are awesome."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Thank you, firefighter. You are awesome too. You are our friend."
+
+They hug him and say goodbye. They go back to their garden. They put on more lotion. They play with their bucket, their shovel and their rake. They make a castle. They put a sticker on it. It says, "Firefighters are the best." They are happy. The end.

+
+Tom says, "But we have to study. It is good for us. We can play later. Come on, Sara. Do not be upset."
+
+Sara does not listen. She puts her doll on the table. She says, "This is my doll. She is my friend. She does not like to study either. She likes to play. I will play with her."
+
+The teacher sees Sara and her doll. She is not happy. She says, "Sara, what are you doing? You cannot play with your doll in the hall. You have to study. Put your doll away and join the class."
+
+Sara does not want to. She says, "No, I will not. This is my doll. She is my friend. You cannot take her away from me."

+Tim and Jen were twins who liked to celebrate Christmas. They helped their mom and dad put up the tree and the lights. They also had many ornaments that they hung on the branches. Some ornaments were shiny, some were soft, some were funny, and some were old.
+
+One day, Tim saw a very old ornament that looked like a star. It was made of glass and had many colors. Tim wanted to touch it and see how it sparkled. He reached for it, but Jen stopped him. She said, "No, Tim, that is mom's special ornament. She got it from grandma when she was little. It is very old and very fragile. If you touch it, it might break and mom will be sad."
+
+Tim was angry. He thought Jen was bossy and mean. He said, "You are not the boss of me. I can touch whatever I want. It is just an ornament. It is not special." He pushed Jen away and grabbed the star. But as soon as he touched it, it slipped from his hand and fell to the floor. It shattered into many pieces.
+
+Tim and Jen gasped. They heard mom coming. They knew they were in trouble. They tried to hide the broken star, but it was too late. Mom saw it and cried. She said, "Oh, no, my special ornament. It was the last thing I had from grandma. Who did this?"
+
+Tim and Jen looked at each other. Jen was scared and sad. She wanted to tell the truth, but she also wanted to protect Tim. Tim was scared and sorry. He wanted to say sorry, but he also wanted to avoid punishment. He didn't know what to do.
+
+Mom looked at them and said, "I know you both love to celebrate Christmas, but you also need to respect and care for the things that are important to others. This ornament was very important to me, and now it is gone. It can't be fixed. How do you think that makes me feel?"
+
+Tim and Jen felt ashamed. They realized they had been selfish and harsh. They hugged mom and said, "We are so sorry, mom. We didn't mean to hurt you. We broke the ornament. It was Tim's fault, but Jen tried to stop him. We were wrong. We love you and grandma. Please forgive us."
+
+Mom hugged them back and said, "I forgive you, my sweet twins. I know you are sorry. I love you too. But you need to learn from this mistake. You need to be careful and gentle with the things that are old and fragile. You need to listen and obey when someone tells you not to touch something. You need to be honest and brave when you do something wrong. And you need to be kind and helpful when someone is sad. That is how you celebrate Christmas, and that is how you honor grandma's memory."
+
+Tim and Jen nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We will do better. We will be careful, gentle, honest, brave, kind, and helpful. We will celebrate Christmas the right way."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's good, my loves. Now, let's clean up this mess and find another way to make the tree beautiful. Maybe we can make some new ornaments together. What do you think?"
+
+Tim and Jen smiled too. They said, "Yes, mom. That sounds fun. We love you, mom. And we love grandma too."
+
+They hugged mom again and went to get some paper, scissors, and glue. They were ready to celebrate Christmas with love.
+Lily liked to watch TV. She liked to see the animals and the songs and the colors. But she did not like to share the TV with her brother Tom. Tom liked to watch cars and robots and loud noises. He always wanted to change the channel when Lily was watching.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom were home with their mom. Mom was busy in the kitchen. She told them to play nicely and not to fight. Lily and Tom sat on the couch and turned on the TV. Lily wanted to watch a show about a chubby bear who liked honey. Tom wanted to watch a show about a fast car who liked to race.
+
+They started to argue. Lily said, "I want to watch the bear. He is funny and cute." Tom said, "I want to watch the car. He is cool and fast." They both reached for the remote. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The TV made a loud noise and then went black. They broke the TV.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the TV and the remote and the angry faces of Lily and Tom. She was very upset. She said, "What did you do? You broke the TV. You were not playing nicely. You were fighting. You are both in trouble."
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to watch different shows. We did not mean to break the TV." Mom said, "You should have taken turns or watched something together. You should have listened to me. Now you have no TV. You have to go to your rooms and think about what you did."
+
+Lily and Tom went to their rooms. They were sad and bored. They wished they had not fought. They wished they had watched the bear or the car or anything else. They wished they had the TV back. They heard the phone ring in the kitchen. They wondered who it was. They hoped it was someone who could fix the TV.

+
+"Don't touch it, Sara! It will pinch you!" Tom said.
+
+"No, it won't. It is just a crab. It is not mean," Sara said.
+
+She reached out her hand to the crab. The crab moved fast and snapped its claw at her. Sara screamed and pulled back her hand. She was angry at the crab.

+
+Mom smiles and says, "You are very smart, Anna. You know a lot about bees."
+
+Anna says, "Thank you, Mom. I love bees. They are so pretty and busy. But they are also very noisy. They buzz and hum all the time. Can you hear them?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, I can hear them. They are noisy, but they are also important. They help the flowers grow and make food for us and other animals. We should be thankful for the bees."

+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big red flower with a yellow center. It looked very pretty and smelled very sweet.
+
+"Let's pick it and taste it," said Ben. He reached out his hand to the flower.
+
+"No, Ben, don't!" Lily warned. She remembered what Mom had told them. "That flower is bad. It can make you sick. Mom said it is called a poppy."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He plucked the flower and put it in his mouth. He felt a bitter taste and spat it out. He started to cry. His tongue and lips hurt.
+
+Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was troubled. She did not want Ben to be hurt. She called for Mom.
+
+Mom came and saw what had happened. She took Ben inside and gave him some water and honey. She told him he was brave and he would be fine. She also told him he should listen to Lily and not eat strange things.

+Lily and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They see a big can of beans on the shelf. They want to eat the beans, but they do not know how to open the can.
+
+"Let's ask Mommy to open it for us," Lily says.
+
+"No, let's do it ourselves," Ben says. "We are big kids. We can use this thing." He picks up a can opener from the drawer.
+
+He tries to put the can opener on the can, but he does not know how. He pushes and pulls and twists and turns, but nothing happens. The can opener makes a lot of noise. It goes clank, clank, clank.
+
+"Ben, you are too noisy. You will wake up the baby," Lily says.
+
+"I don't care. I want the beans," Ben says.

+He keeps making noise with the can opener. The baby starts to cry in the other room. Mommy hears the noise and the crying. She comes to the kitchen. She sees Lily and Ben with the can and the can opener.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mommy asks.
+
+"We want the beans," Lily and Ben say.
+
+"Beans are not for breakfast. And you should not play with the can opener. It is sharp and dangerous. You could hurt yourself," Mommy says.
+
+She takes the can and the can opener from them. She puts them away. She hugs Lily and Ben.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy. We were hungry," Lily says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy. We wanted to be big kids," Ben says.
+
+Mommy smiles. "You are big kids, but you still need to ask me for help sometimes. And you need to be quiet when the baby is sleeping. How about some cereal and milk instead of beans?" Mommy says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They follow Mommy to the table. They eat their cereal and milk. They are happy. They forget about the beans.

+
+"I win, I win!" Anna says. "I have more matches than you!"
+
+"OK, OK, you win. But you know what? We also did exercise!" Tom says.
+
+"Exercise? What is exercise?" Anna asks.
+
+"Exercise is when you move your body and make it strong and healthy. Like when we run, or jump, or dance. Playing match is also exercise, because we use our eyes and our brains and our hands. Exercise is good for us. It is normal to do exercise every day." Tom explains.
+
+"Really? I like exercise then. Can we play match again?" Anna says.
+
+"Sure, why not? But this time, let's make it more fun. Let's play match with music. When the music stops, we have to find a match as fast as we can. OK?" Tom says.

+Tom does not like pills. He thinks they are yucky and hard to swallow. He shakes his head and says, "No, Mom, I don't want it. It is gross."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I know, Tom, but it is good for you. It will make your cough and throat go away. How about we make a deal? If you take the pill, I will read you your favorite story and hold your hand until you fall asleep. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He loves his favorite story and he loves when Mom holds his hand. He says, "OK, Mom, I will try. But you have to hold my hand tight."
+
+Mom nods and says, "Of course, Tom, I will hold your hand tight. You are very brave. Here, take the pill and drink some water. Good job, Tom, you did it!"
+
+Tom feels proud of himself. He says, "Thank you, Mom, you are the best. Can you read me the story now?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, Tom, I will read you the story now. Come, let me tuck you in and hold your hand. I love you, Tom."
+
+Tom says, "I love you, Mom." He listens to the story and feels his Mom's hand. He feels warm and cozy. He feels happy. He closes his eyes and falls asleep.

+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play at the beach. They had a big surf that they could ride on the waves. They also had a bucket and a shovel to make sand castles.
+
+One day, they saw a big rock near the water. They wanted to see what was behind it. They were very nosy. They left their surf and their bucket and their shovel and ran to the rock.
+
+"Maybe there is a treasure behind the rock," said Lily.
+
+"Or a pirate," said Tom.
+
+They reached the rock and looked behind it. But there was nothing there. Only more sand and water.
+
+They were disappointed. They turned around to go back to their surf and their bucket and their shovel. But they did not see a big wave coming. The wave crashed on the rock and splashed them with water. They were wet and cold.
+
+They tried to run away from the wave. But they stumbled on the sand and fell down. They hurt their knees and their elbows. They cried.
+
+A man who was walking on the beach saw them. He came to help them. He gave them a towel and a band-aid. He said, "You should not be so nosy. You should stay away from the rocks. They are dangerous. You could get hurt or lost. You should play with your surf and your bucket and your shovel. They are safe and fun."
+
+Lily and Tom said, "We are sorry. We were silly. We wanted to see what was behind the rock. But there was nothing there. We will not be nosy again. We will play with our surf and our bucket and our shovel. Thank you for helping us."
+
+The man smiled and said, "You are welcome. I hope you have a good day at the beach. But remember, be careful and listen to your parents."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and said, "We will. Thank you."
+
+They took their surf and their bucket and their shovel and went back to their parents. They learned their lesson. They had fun at the beach. But they did not go near the rocks again.

+
+"Stop, robber, stop!" Lily shouted, running after Ben. "You took the cookies from the store!"
+
+Ben laughed and ran faster, holding the bag with the cookies. "You can't catch me, cop, you can't catch me!"
+
+Lily chased Ben around the trees and the swings, but Ben was too fast. He ran to the slide and climbed up. He thought he was safe, but Lily had a plan. She ran to the other side of the slide and waited for Ben to slide down.
+
+"Gotcha!" Lily said, grabbing Ben's leg as he slid down. She pulled him to the ground and put her toy handcuffs on him. "You're going to jail, robber, you're going to jail!"
+
+Ben pretended to be sad and scared. He looked at Lily with big eyes and said, "Please, cop, please, don't take me to jail. I'm sorry I took the cookies. I was hungry and I wanted to share them with you."
+
+Lily looked at Ben and smiled. She knew he was just playing, and she liked him. She said, "OK, robber, OK, I won't take you to jail. But you have to be good and share the cookies with me and the other kids. And you have to say sorry to the store lady."
+
+Ben nodded and smiled back. He said, "OK, cop, OK, I will be good and share the cookies and say sorry. You're a brave cop and a nice friend."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged and got up. They opened the bag and took out the cookies. They were chocolate chip cookies, their favorite. They walked to the bench where the other kids were waiting. They shared the cookies with them and told them their story. The other kids clapped and cheered. They all had fun and ate the cookies. Lily and Ben were happy. They were the best cops and robbers in the park.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the park. One morning, they wake up and see mist outside. Mist is like water in the air, but you can not drink it. It makes everything look soft and white.
+
+Lila and Ben put on their coats and boots. They want to go to the park and see the mist. They hold hands and walk with Mom. They see the trees and the flowers and the birds in the mist. They look like shadows.
+
+When they get to the park, they see a big slide. They love the slide. They run to the slide and wait for their turn. Lila goes first. She sits on the slide and slides down. She laughs and says, "Whee!" Ben goes next. He stands on the slide and slides down. He shouts, "Yay!"
+
+But then, something bad happens. Ben slips on the slide and falls. He hurts his knee. He cries and says, "Ow!" Lila runs to him and hugs him. She says, "It's okay, Ben. I'm here." Mom comes to them and says, "Oh, no, Ben. Are you okay?" She looks at his knee and says, "You have a scratch. Let me clean it and put a band-aid on it."
+
+She takes out a cloth and a band-aid from her bag. She wipes Ben's knee and puts the band-aid on it. She kisses his knee and says, "There. All better." Ben stops crying and says, "Thank you, Mom." He smiles and says, "I'm sorry, Lila. I was silly. I should not stand on the slide. It is difficult and dangerous." Lila says, "It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are okay. Next time, let's sit on the slide. It is fun and safe." Ben says, "Okay, Lila. You are a good sister. I love you." Lila says, "I love you too, Ben. You are a good brother. Let's play some more." They hug and go to play in the mist. Mom watches them and smiles. She is happy.
+Lily liked to test things. She wanted to know how they worked and what they did. She tested her toys, her books, her clothes, and even her food. Sometimes she made a mess, but she always had fun.
+
+One day, she saw a big brown box in the living room. She wondered what was inside. She went to the box and opened it. She saw a lot of shiny things and wires. They looked like fun. She took some of them out and started to test them. She twisted them, pulled them, and tied them together.
+
+She did not know that the box was dad's new computer. He had bought it for work and had not set it up yet. He was in the kitchen making lunch. He did not hear Lily testing his computer.
+
+When he came back to the living room, he saw the box and the mess. He saw Lily holding a wire and a screwdriver. He was very angry. He shouted, "Lily, what have you done? You have broken my computer! You are in big trouble!"
+
+Lily was scared. She did not mean to break dad's computer. She did not know it was important. She dropped the wire and the screwdriver and ran to her room. She cried and hid under her bed. She wished she had not tested the brown box.
+Lily and Ben were going to the zoo with their mom. They were very happy to see many animals. They took a taxi to get there. The taxi was yellow and big.
+
+"Look, mom, a taxi!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, dear, that's a taxi. It can take us to different places," mom said.
+
+Ben looked out the window. He saw a big sign with many colors and letters. He did not know what it said.
+
+"What is that, mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"That's a display, Ben. It shows us something. Sometimes it tells us about a place or a thing. Sometimes it just looks nice," mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They liked the display. It was bright and pretty.
+
+They arrived at the zoo. They got out of the taxi and thanked the driver. They walked to the entrance. They saw a big map of the zoo. It had pictures of different animals and their names.
+
+"Wow, look at all the animals!" Lily said.
+
+"Can we see them all, mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, we can try. Let's start with the monkeys. They are funny and smart," mom said.
+
+They followed the map to the monkey house. They saw many monkeys of different sizes and colors. Some were swinging from the trees. Some were playing with each other. Some were eating bananas.
+
+Lily and Ben laughed at the monkeys. They liked their noises and faces.
+
+But then they saw a monkey that was different from the others. It was big and hairy. It had a long nose and big teeth. It looked angry and mean.
+
+"Mom, what is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"That's a baboon, Lily. It's a kind of monkey, but it lives in a different place. It's not very friendly," mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben did not like the baboon. They thought it was ugly and scary.
+
+"Can we go see the elephants, mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, let's go. Maybe they will be nicer," mom said.
+
+They left the monkey house and walked to the elephant enclosure. They hoped to see some cute and gentle animals. They liked the zoo, but they did not like the ugly baboon.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play on the beach and look for shells and crabs. They were adventurous and curious.
+
+One day, they saw a big rock far away in the water. They wanted to go there and see what was on it. They asked their moms if they could go, but their moms said no. They said the tide was coming in and it was too dangerous.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They waited until their moms were busy talking and then they ran to the water. They held hands and swam to the rock. They felt brave and excited.
+
+They climbed on the rock and found some starfish and seaweed. They also saw a shiny thing that looked like a necklace. They wanted to take it with them, but it was stuck in a crack. They tried to pull it out, but it was too hard.
+
+Then they heard their moms calling them. They looked at the water and saw that it was much higher than before. The rock was almost covered by the waves. They were scared and sorry. They had broken their moms' rules and now they were in trouble.
+
+They jumped into the water and swam back to the beach. Their moms were angry and worried. They hugged them and scolded them. They told them they could have been hurt or lost by the tide. They told them they had to listen and obey.
+
+Lily and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They said they were sorry and they hugged their moms. They promised they would never do that again. They learned their lesson and they were happy to be safe. They still liked to be adventurous, but they also liked to be smart and careful.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They were having fun until Lily saw something shiny on the floor. It was a needle that Mom had left there by mistake.
+
+"Look, Tom, a needle!" Lily said, picking it up. "I can use it to make clothes for my doll."
+
+"No, Lily, don't touch it!" Tom said, trying to grab it from her. "It is sharp and can hurt you. Mom said needles are not for kids."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She wanted to keep the needle. She ran away from Tom and hid behind the couch. Tom followed her and tried to reach for the needle.
+
+"Give it to me, Lily, please!" Tom said. "It is not a toy. It is dangerous."
+
+"Go away, Tom!" Lily said. "It is mine. I found it. I can do what I want with it."
+
+They started to argue and tug at the needle. They did not see Mom coming into the room. She heard their voices and saw the needle in their hands. She was scared and angry.
+
+"Stop it, both of you!" Mom said, taking the needle from them. "How did you get this? Do you know how dangerous this is? You could have poked your eyes or your skin. You could have gotten sick or infected. You are very naughty and careless."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They knew Mom was right. They had been foolish and reckless. They did not mean to cause trouble or hurt themselves. They hugged Mom and said they were sorry.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Tom and Lily said. "We did not know. We were just playing. We will not touch needles again. We promise."
+
+Mom hugged them back and said she was glad they were not hurt. She said she loved them and forgave them. She said she was sorry too for leaving the needle on the floor. She said she would be more careful next time. She said she was grateful they were safe and sound.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and said they loved Mom too. They said they were grateful for her love and care. They said they would be more careful too. They went back to playing with their toys, but this time without the needle. They learned their lesson and had a happy day.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill of dirt. They want to know what is inside.
+
+They dig and dig with their hands. They find a hole. They look inside. They see a small, furry animal. It has a long nose and tiny eyes. It is a mole.
+
+The mole is scared. It does not like the light. It does not like the noise. It wants to hide. It tries to run away.
+
+Tom and Sue are gentle. They do not want to hurt the mole. They say hello to the mole. They wave to the mole. They tell the mole they are sorry.
+
+The mole stops. It looks at Tom and Sue. It sees they are kind. It waves back to them. It makes a soft sound. It is happy.
+
+Tom and Sue are happy too. They have made a new friend. They think the mole is great. They say goodbye to the mole. They cover the hole with dirt. They go to play some more. They hope to see the mole again.
+Lily liked to help her mom with the dishes. She had a small stool to stand on and a sponge to scrub. Mom gave her a bottle of soap to squeeze on the sponge. Lily felt happy and generous. She wanted to make lots of bubbles.
+
+She squeezed the bottle hard and saw the soap come out. But she squeezed too hard and the bottle slipped from her hand. She saw it drop on the floor and make a big splash. The soap went everywhere. Lily felt scared and sorry. She did not mean to make a mess.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see. She saw Lily and the soap on the floor. She did not get angry or yell. She smiled and hugged Lily. She said it was okay and accidents happen. She said Lily was a good helper and a generous girl. She said they could clean up the soap together. Lily felt relieved and loved. She said sorry and thank you. She helped mom wipe the soap with a towel. They finished the dishes and had fun. Lily learned to be careful with the soap. She still liked to help her mom.
+Tom and Anna were playing with a big box in the yard. They liked to pretend it was a house, a car, a boat, or anything they wanted. They had fun making noises and drawing on the box with crayons.
+
+One day, Anna had an idea. She said to Tom, "Let's make the box fancy. We can put stickers and ribbons and glitter on it. It will be the best box ever!" Tom agreed. They ran inside and got some things to decorate the box.
+
+They worked hard to make the box fancy. They stuck stars and hearts and flowers on the box. They tied ribbons and bows on the corners. They sprinkled glitter all over the box. They were very proud of their box.
+
+But then, Mom came outside. She saw the box and was very angry. She said, "What have you done to the box? This was a new box for the TV. You have ruined it! You have made a big mess! You have to change it back right now!"
+
+Tom and Anna were scared and sad. They did not know how to change the box back. They tried to peel off the stickers and ribbons, but they were stuck too hard. They tried to wipe off the glitter, but it was everywhere. They cried and said they were sorry, but Mom was still mad. She took the box away and threw it in the trash. Tom and Anna had no more box to play with. They had no more fun.
+Anna and Ben were humble kids. They liked to help their mom and dad with chores. They did not ask for many toys or treats. They were happy with what they had.
+
+One day, a big storm came. The sky was dark and angry. The wind was loud and scary. The rain was wet and cold. Anna and Ben were scared of the thunder. It made a loud boom sound that shook the house.
+
+Mom and Dad told them not to worry. They said the thunder was just the clouds talking. They said the storm would pass soon. They gave them a drink of warm milk and a hug. They said they were proud of them for being brave and humble.
+
+Anna and Ben felt better. They drank their milk and cuddled with Mom and Dad. They listened to the thunder and watched the rain. They thanked God for their family and their home. They prayed for the storm to end and for the sun to come back. They fell asleep in Mom and Dad's arms.
+Lily and Sam were in the kitchen with Mom. They wanted to help Mom make a cake. Mom gave them a big bowl and a spoon. She said, "You can mix the flour and the sugar and the eggs. Be careful not to spill."
+
+Lily and Sam were happy. They took turns to stir the bowl. They liked to see the flour and the sugar and the eggs become a smooth batter. They said, "Mix, mix, mix. We are making a cake."
+
+Suddenly, they heard a noise at the window. They looked and saw a white dove. The dove was playful. It flew around the window and pecked at the glass. It wanted to come in. Lily and Sam laughed. They said, "Hello, dove. Do you want some cake?"
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "That dove is very friendly. Maybe it likes the smell of our cake. But we can't let it in. It might make a mess. Why don't you give it some bread crumbs instead?"
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They took some bread crumbs from the table and went to the window. They opened the window a little and threw some bread crumbs outside. The dove was happy. It ate the bread crumbs and cooed. It thanked Lily and Sam for their kindness. Lily and Sam said, "You're welcome, dove. Have a nice day."
+
+They closed the window and went back to the bowl. They finished mixing the batter and poured it into a pan. Mom put the pan in the oven and set the timer. She said, "Now we have to wait for the cake to bake. Do you want to read a book or play a game while we wait?"
+
+Lily and Sam said, "Yes, please. We love books and games. And we love cake too. Thank you, Mom."
+
+They hugged Mom and went to the living room. They found a book and a game and had fun. They waited for the cake to be ready. They hoped the dove would come back and see their cake. They thought the dove was very playful and nice. They were happy.
+Lily likes to sing songs. She sings when she wakes up, when she plays, and when she goes to bed. She makes up her own songs with funny words and sounds. She sings about her toys, her family, and her dreams.
+
+One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom and dad. She sees a big stage with a microphone and speakers. She wants to sing on the stage. She asks her mom and dad if she can. They say yes, but she has to wait for her turn.
+
+Lily waits and watches other people sing. Some sing loud, some sing soft, some sing fast, some sing slow. Lily likes all the songs, but she thinks she can sing better. She thinks of a new song in her head. She is ready to sing.
+
+When it is her turn, Lily runs to the stage. She picks up the microphone and says hello to everyone. She tells them her name and that she is going to sing a song. She starts to sing her song. She sings with a big voice and a big smile. She sings about the park, the sun, and the fun. She sings with words and sounds that make people laugh and clap.
+
+Lily sings and sings until she finishes her song. She says thank you and bows. Everyone cheers and claps for Lily. They say she is impressive. They say she is a star. Lily feels happy and proud. She runs to her mom and dad and hugs them. They hug her back and tell her they love her. Lily loves them too. She loves to sing songs.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They have a big box with toys. They like to pretend they are knights and princesses. Tom has a sword and a shield. Lily has a bow and an arrow.
+
+"Look, Lily, I see a dragon!" Tom says. He points to a big tree. "We have to fight it and save the castle!"
+
+"OK, Tom, I will help you!" Lily says. She takes her bow and arrow. She aims at the tree. She shoots the arrow. It flies fast in the air.
+
+But the arrow does not hit the tree. It hits the lock of the box. The lock breaks. The box opens. All the toys fall out.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, you broke the lock!" Tom says. He is sad. He likes the lock. It keeps the toys safe.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom, I did not mean to!" Lily says. She is sorry too. She likes the lock. It makes the box fun.
+
+They look at the toys. They see a lot of things. They see a doll, a car, a ball, a book, and more.

+
+"Wow, Tom, you are right!" Lily says. She is not sorry anymore. She is happy too. She likes the toys. They are old and nice.

+Lily and Ben like to print. They have a big box of paper and many colors. They print animals and flowers and cars. They show their prints to Mom and Dad.
+
+One day, Lily prints a fly. She uses black and green and yellow. She makes the fly very cute, with big eyes and a smile. She shows Ben her print.
+
+"Look, Ben, I print a fly!" Lily says.
+
+"Wow, Lily, your fly is very cute!" Ben says. "Can it fly?"
+
+Lily thinks. She wants her fly to fly. She has an idea. She gets a string and a stick. She tapes the string to the fly and the stick. She makes a kite.
+
+"Look, Ben, now my fly can fly!" Lily says. She runs outside with her kite. Ben follows her.
+
+They find a good spot in the park. They hold their sticks and let the wind blow. Their kites fly high in the sky. They laugh and clap.

+Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and she made pictures of her family, her friends and her toys. She was very happy when she drew.
+
+One day, she found a new crayon in her box. It was black and it looked very sharp. Lily wanted to try it, but she did not know what to draw with it. She asked her mom.
+
+"Mom, can I use this crayon?" she said, holding it up.
+
+"Sure, honey, you can use any crayon you want. But be careful, it is very sharp. You don't want to hurt yourself or the paper," her mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom, I will be careful," Lily said. She decided to draw a night sky with the black crayon. She made stars and a moon and a big cloud. She liked how it looked.
+
+But then, she made a mistake. She pressed too hard with the crayon and it broke. The sharp tip flew off and hit her eye. Lily felt a lot of pain and she started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Mom, help me!" she screamed.
+
+Her mom heard her and ran to her. She saw the blood and the broken crayon and she felt a lot of worry.
+
+"Oh, Lily, what happened? Let me see your eye," she said, hugging her.
+
+She took her to the bathroom and washed her eye with water. She saw that it was not too bad, but it still needed a band-aid.
+
+"Lily, you are very brave. I'm sorry you got hurt. You need to be more careful with sharp things. They can be dangerous," she said, putting a band-aid on her eye.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to break the crayon. I was just trying to draw a nice picture," Lily said, sniffling.
+
+"I know, honey, I know. It was an accident. But you learned a lesson today. Sharp things are not for playing. They can hurt you or others. Do you understand?" her mom said.
+
+"Yes, mom, I understand. I won't use sharp things anymore. Can I still draw with my other crayons?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course, you can. But only with the soft ones. And maybe you can draw something happy and bright next time. How about a rainbow?" her mom said.
+
+"I like rainbows. They are pretty and colorful. Can you draw one with me?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, I can. Come on, let's go back to your room and draw together. I love you, Lily," her mom said.
+
+"I love you too, mom," Lily said. She smiled and hugged her mom. She felt better and she forgot about the bad crayon. She was happy to draw with her mom.

+
+Mom hears Tom and Sam. She comes to their room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop! What are you doing? Why are you fighting? You are friends. You should share and be kind."
+
+Tom and Sam look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We both want the big red truck. We do not have another one."
+
+Mom says, "I have an idea. Why don't you take turns? You can play with the big red truck for a little while, and then give it to the other. That way, you both can have fun. And you can play with other cars and trucks too. There are many available. Do you agree?"
+
+Tom and Sam think. They nod. They say, "Okay, Mom. We agree. We will take turns. We will share. We will be friends."

+Lily liked to create things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of flowers, animals, and people. She was very proud of her creations and showed them to her mom and dad.
+
+One day, she found a big mirror in the basement. It was old and rough, and had some cracks on it. Lily thought it would be fun to draw on the mirror with her crayons. She took some paper and tape and covered the cracks. Then she started to create a colorful picture on the mirror.
+
+She drew a big sun, a blue sky, a green grass, and a happy family. She smiled as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She thought she looked like a princess.
+
+She wanted to show her mom and dad her picture. She ran upstairs with the mirror in her hands. She was not careful and bumped into the table. The mirror fell down and broke into many pieces. Lily screamed and cried.
+
+Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what happened. They saw Lily on the floor, surrounded by broken glass and crayons. They were very angry and scared.
+
+"Lily, what did you do?" mom asked.
+
+"I wanted to create a picture on the mirror," Lily said.
+
+"That was a very bad idea, Lily. You could have hurt yourself. The mirror was not for drawing. It was for looking. And now it is broken and we have to throw it away. You are in big trouble, young lady," dad said.
+
+They took Lily to the bathroom and checked her for cuts. They cleaned the mess and threw away the mirror and the crayons. They put Lily in her room and told her to stay there until dinner.

+Sam and Lily were twins, but they were very unique. Sam liked to balance things on his head, like books and toys and hats. Lily liked to make sandwiches with different things, like cheese and jam and lettuce. They always had fun together, but sometimes they also liked to try new things.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their mom. Sam saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. He climbed up the ladder and put a ball on his head. He tried to balance the ball as he slid down, but it fell off and rolled away. Sam laughed and ran after the ball.
+
+Lily saw a picnic table and wanted to make a sandwich. She found some bread and butter in their bag and asked their mom for some more things. Their mom gave her a banana, a carrot and some honey. Lily peeled the banana and the carrot and cut them into slices. She put them on the bread with some butter and honey. She made a big sandwich and smiled.
+
+"Look, Sam, I made a unique sandwich!" Lily said. "Do you want to try some?"
+
+Sam came back with the ball and saw Lily's sandwich. He thought it looked funny, but he was hungry. He took a bite and made a face.
+
+"Yuck, Lily, this sandwich is weird!" Sam said. "Banana and carrot and honey do not go together!"
+
+Lily shrugged and took another bite. She liked her sandwich. She thought it was yummy and unique.
+
+"Sorry, Sam, I think this sandwich is good!" Lily said. "But you can have some of my bread and butter if you want."
+
+Sam nodded and took some of Lily's bread and butter. He liked it better. He thought it was simple and tasty.
+
+They shared their food and their ball and had a good time at the park. They were unique, but they were also twins. They loved each other very much.
+Lily liked to cook with her mom. They made cakes and pies and cookies. Lily helped to stir and pour and mix. She also liked to taste the batter and lick the spoon. Mom said Lily was a good helper and a good cook.
+
+One day, mom had a surprise for Lily. She said they would cook something new and special. Lily was excited and curious. She asked mom what it was. Mom said it was a secret, but she gave Lily a hint. She said it was something that made a sound when it was ready.
+
+Lily thought hard. What could make a sound when it was ready? She guessed some things, like a bell, a horn, a drum. Mom said no, no, no. She said it was something you could eat. Lily was puzzled. She could not think of any food that made a sound.
+
+Mom took out a big pot and filled it with water. She put it on the stove and turned on the heat. She said they had to wait for the water to boil. Lily watched the pot. She saw bubbles and steam. She heard a hiss. But she did not hear a sound like a bell, a horn, or a drum.
+
+Mom took out a box and opened it. She showed Lily what was inside. It was pasta. It was shaped like little tubes. Mom said it was called macaroni. She said they would cook the macaroni in the boiling water. She said it would be yummy with cheese and butter.
+
+Lily helped mom to pour the macaroni into the pot. She heard a splash. She saw the macaroni sink and float. She smelled the pasta. She said it smelled good. Mom said they had to wait for the macaroni to be soft. She said it would take about ten minutes.
+
+Lily waited and watched. She saw the macaroni move and swirl. She heard the water bubble and boil. She wondered when the macaroni would make a sound. She asked mom how she would know when it was ready. Mom said she had a trick. She said she would use a whistle.
+
+Lily was surprised. She asked mom what a whistle was. Mom said it was a thing that made a loud noise when you blew into it. She said it was fun and funny. She said she had one in the drawer. She took it out and showed Lily. It was a small metal thing with a hole in it. Mom said it was a special whistle. She said it was a macaroni whistle.
+
+Lily was curious. She asked mom how it worked. Mom said she would show her. She said she would put the whistle on the pot. She said when the macaroni was ready, the whistle would blow. She said it would be a surprise and a signal.
+
+Lily watched mom put the whistle on the pot. She saw the steam go into the hole. She heard nothing. She waited and waited. She wondered when the whistle would blow. She asked mom how long it would take. Mom said it would be soon. She said they had to be patient and listen.
+
+Lily listened and listened. She heard the clock tick and the fridge hum. She heard the birds sing and the dog bark. She heard mom hum and sing. She heard nothing else. She was bored and restless. She asked mom if the whistle was broken. Mom said no, no, no. She said it was working fine. She said it would blow any minute.
+
+Lily listened and listened. She heard a loud noise. It was a whistle. It was the macaroni whistle. It blew and blew. It was high and shrill. It was surprising and funny. Lily laughed and clapped. She said it was impressive. Mom laughed and clapped. She said it was impressive too.
+
+Mom turned off the heat and took off the whistle. She said the macaroni was ready. She said they would drain it and add cheese and butter. She said they would eat it and enjoy it. She said it would be delicious and cheesy.
+
+Lily helped mom to drain the macaroni and add cheese and butter. She saw the cheese melt and the butter melt. She smelled the cheese and the butter. She said it smelled yummy. Mom said it smelled yummy too.
+
+Mom served the macaroni in bowls. She said it was hot and creamy. She said they had to blow on it and be careful. She said they had to say thank you and bon appetit. She said they had to eat it and love it.

+Sam liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He also liked to display his cars on his shelf. He was proud of his cars and wanted everyone to see them.
+
+One day, Sam saw a new car in the store. It was a shiny police car with a siren and a badge. Sam wanted the police car very much. He asked his mom to buy it for him, but she said no. She said he had enough cars and he had to save his money for other things. Sam was sad and angry. He wanted the police car more than anything.
+
+Sam waited until his mom was busy. He sneaked back to the store and took the police car from the shelf. He hid it under his shirt and ran out of the store. He thought he was clever and nobody saw him. He ran all the way home and put the police car on his shelf. He smiled and admired his new car.
+
+But Sam did not know that someone did see him. It was a real police officer who was in the store. He saw Sam take the police car and followed him home. He knocked on the door and asked to speak to Sam's mom. He told her what Sam had done and showed her the police car. Sam's mom was shocked and angry. She scolded Sam and made him apologize to the officer. She also made him return the police car to the store and say sorry to the owner. She said stealing was wrong and he had to learn his lesson.
+
+Sam felt ashamed. He knew he had done a bad thing. He cried and said he was sorry. He did not want to be a thief. He wanted to be a good boy. He hugged his mom and the officer and promised to never steal again. He learned that displaying his cars was not as important as being honest and kind. He also learned that the police were not his enemies, but his friends. He thanked the officer for helping him and said he wanted to be a police officer when he grew up. The officer smiled and gave him a sticker of a badge. He said he was glad Sam had changed his mind and he hoped he would keep his promise. He said he would come back and visit him someday and maybe let him ride in his police car. Sam was happy and hopeful. He decided to display his sticker on his shirt and show it to everyone. He was proud of his sticker and what it meant.

+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different shapes and colors. They could make houses, towers, bridges and more with their blocks.
+
+One day, they found some lumber in the backyard. The lumber was huge and long. It was from a tree that their dad had cut down. Tom and Lily thought they could use the lumber to make bigger and better things with their blocks.
+
+They dragged the lumber to their playroom and tried to fit it with their blocks. But the lumber was too big and heavy. It did not fit with their blocks at all. It only made a mess and knocked down their other creations.
+
+"Stop it, Tom!" Lily said. "You are ruining everything with the lumber!"
+
+"No, you stop it, Lily!" Tom said. "You are not letting me try anything with the lumber!"
+
+They started to argue and push each other. They were not having fun anymore. They were only making noise and trouble.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the lumber and the blocks and the mess. She was not happy.
+
+"Tom and Lily, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over the lumber?"
+
+"We wanted to make bigger and better things with the lumber, but it does not fit with our blocks," Tom said.
+
+"We have plenty of blocks to play with, but Tom keeps using the lumber and breaking everything," Lily said.
+
+Mom shook her head. "You are not using the lumber wisely. The lumber is not for playing with blocks. The lumber is for building something useful, like a fence or a bench. You are wasting the lumber and hurting your blocks and each other. You need to learn to share and cooperate and respect what you have."
+
+She took the lumber away and helped them clean up the playroom. She gave them a hug and said, "I love you both, but you need to be more careful and kind. Playing with blocks is fun, but playing with each other is more fun. Can you do that?"

+
+Lily looks at Ben's math book. She does not see anything attractive. She sees only dots and lines and numbers. She does not understand what Ben is saying. She says, "No, Ben, this is not attractive. This is math. Math is hard and boring. I do not want to do math. I want to paint and sing and dance. Can we do that instead?"
+

She says, "No, Ben, I do not want to try to do math. Math is not fun or attractive. Math is hard and boring. I do not like math. I like to paint and sing and dance. Can we do that instead?"
+
+Ben and Lily do not agree. They do not understand each other. They do not know what to do. They are not happy. They need to find a way to do math and paint and sing and dance together. They need to find a way to understand each other. They need to find a way to be friends.

+
+Mia says, "The shrimp did not bite you. It pinched you. It defended itself. It told you to leave it alone. You should have listened. You should have been kind."
+
+Tom feels sorry. He says, "You are right, Mia. I was wrong. I was not kind. I was not nice. I am sorry, shrimp. I will not catch you again. I will let you swim."
+
+Mia says, "That is good, Tom. That is nice. That is kind. The shrimp is happy. It forgives you. It swims away. It says goodbye."
+
+Tom and Mia say goodbye to the shrimp. They hug each other. They are friends. They are kind. They are nice. They are brave.

+
+But on the way, he saw something shiny and bright. It was a firefly. The sheep was curious and wanted to catch it. He forgot about his mom and the barn and ran after the firefly. He chased it into the woods, where it was very dark and scary.
+
+Sara felt a shiver in her spine. She did not like the dark. She wondered what would happen to the sheep. She hoped he would be okay. She asked her mom, "Mom, will the sheep find his way home?"
+
+Her mom looked at her and said, "We'll have to read the next chapter tomorrow, sweetie. It's time to sleep now. Don't worry, the sheep will be fine. He has a brave heart and a good nose.

+
+Sara nodded eagerly. She wanted to know who the sheep's friend was. She guessed it was a rabbit, or a bird, or a mouse. Her mom smiled and said, "It's a surprise. You'll find out tomorrow. Now, close your eyes and dream of sheep and fireflies. Good night, Sara. I love you."

+Her mom said, "No, Lily. You cannot go by yourself. It is too cold. It is not safe. You have to listen to me. I am your mom. I know what is best for you."
+
+Lily was very mad. She did not listen to her mom. She ran to the door. She opened the door. She walked out. She walked to the park.
+
+But it was very cold. Lily felt the cold in her nose, in her ears, in her fingers. She shivered. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had stayed inside. She wished she had played with her toys.
+
+She turned around. She walked back. She walked to the door. She opened the door. She walked in. She saw her mom.

+Lily liked to observe animals at the zoo. She saw lions, monkeys, and zebras. But her favorite animal was the panda. She loved its black and white fur and its round ears.
+
+One day, Lily went to the zoo with her mom and dad. They walked to the panda enclosure and saw two pandas. One was big and one was small. The big panda was the mom and the small panda was the baby. Lily smiled and pointed at them.
+
+The mom panda was eating bamboo and the baby panda was playing with a ball. They looked happy and cute. Lily wanted to play with them too. She asked her mom if she could go inside the enclosure.
+
+Her mom said no. She said the pandas were wild animals and they needed their space. She said Lily could observe them from a safe distance. She said Lily could learn a lot from watching them.
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She looked at the pandas again and saw something new. There was another panda in the corner. It was smaller than the mom panda but bigger than the baby panda. It had gray fur and wrinkled skin. It was the elderly panda. It was the grandma.
+
+The elderly panda was resting on a rock. It looked tired and bored. Lily felt sorry for it. She wondered if it was lonely. She wished she could give it a hug and a snack.

+Lily liked to design things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of flowers, animals, and houses. She was very proud of her designs and showed them to her mom and dad.

+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" she said.
+
+"I'm Jake. This is my truck. Do you want to see it?" he said.
+
+"Yes, please. It looks very cool. Can I touch it?" she said.
+
+Jake nodded and let Lily hold his truck. Lily admired the truck and saw that it had many details and colors. She wondered if Jake liked to design things too.

+
+"Yes, I do. I design trucks and cars and planes. Do you?" he said.
+
+"Yes, I do. I design flowers and animals and houses. Do you want to see?" she said.
+
+She took out her paper and crayons from her backpack and showed Jake her designs. Jake looked at them and frowned.
+
+"Those are not designs. Those are silly and boring. Trucks and cars and planes are better. Give me your crayons. I'll show you how to design." he said.
+
+He grabbed Lily's crayons and threw her paper on the ground. Lily felt sad and angry. She tried to get her crayons back, but Jake was bigger and stronger. He pushed her away and said.
+
+"Go away. You can't play with me. You can't design. You are a threat to my truck. If you come near me again, I'll break your crayons and your paper." he said.
+
+Lily ran to her mom and cried. She told her what Jake did and how he hurt her feelings. Her mom hugged her and said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. Jake was not friendly. He was mean and rude. You don't need to play with him. You can design whatever you want. Your designs are beautiful and creative. I love them. Let's go home and make some more." she said.
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She still felt sad, but she was glad that her mom loved her and her designs. She hoped that one day, she would find a friendly friend who liked to design things too.

+
+"Found you, Ben!" she shouted as she pulled the curtain aside. But there was no Ben behind the curtain. There was only a big teddy bear with a bow on its neck. Lily was confused and looked at the teddy bear. It had a tag that said "To Lily, from Ben. Happy birthday!"
+
+Lily gasped and hugged the teddy bear. She felt happy and surprised. She heard Ben giggle behind the sofa. She turned around and saw him peeking out. He had a big smile on his face.

+
+They returned to the pink curtain and played with the teddy bear. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. They were very happy.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to chase it before it went too far.
+
+One time, the ball rolled into the street. Tim ran after it without looking. He did not see the big car coming fast. The car hit Tim and he fell down. He cried very loud. Lily was scared and ran to him. She saw blood on his leg and his head.
+
+"Tim, Tim, are you okay?" Lily asked.
+
+"It hurts, it hurts!" Tim complained. He held his leg and his head.
+
+Lily saw a man get out of the car. He looked sorry and worried. He called someone on his phone. He said Tim needed help.
+
+Soon, Lily heard a loud noise. She saw a big truck with lights and a siren. It was an ambulance. The ambulance stopped near Tim and the car. Two people got out of the ambulance. They wore white clothes and had a bag. They came to Tim and looked at him.

+They put a bandage on Tim's leg and his head. They lifted him on a bed with wheels. They pushed the bed to the ambulance. They asked Lily to come with them.
+
+"Can I go with Tim?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, you can. You are his friend. He needs you," the other one said.
+
+They got into the ambulance. The ambulance drove away. The siren was very loud. Lily held Tim's hand. She saw the sky through the window. It was clear and blue. She hoped Tim would be okay. She told him a story to make him feel better.
+Lily and Max were twins who loved to play in the sand. They had a big bucket and a small bucket, and they liked to fill them with sand and make castles. One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad, and they were very enthusiastic to play in the sand.

+"Look, mom, look, dad, we made a big castle with the big bucket!" Lily said, showing them her work.
+
+"That's very nice, Lily, well done!" mom said, smiling.
+
+"And we made a small castle with the small bucket!" Max said, showing them his work.
+
+"That's very nice, too, Max, well done!" dad said, smiling.
+
+Mom and dad were proud of their twins, and they told them to behave and share their buckets while they sat on a bench and watched them.
+
+But soon, Lily and Max started to argue. Lily wanted to use the big bucket to make another big castle, but Max wanted to use it to make a big hole. They both pulled the big bucket, and they both shouted.
+
+"Give me the big bucket, Lily, I want to make a big hole!" Max said.
+
+"No, give me the big bucket, Max, I want to make another big castle!" Lily said.
+
+They did not listen to each other, and they did not share. They were not behaving.
+
+Mom and dad heard them, and they were not happy. They got up from the bench and walked towards them.
+
+"Lily and Max, stop fighting!" mom said, sternly.
+
+"You have to share your buckets, or you will lose them!" dad said, firmly.
+
+Lily and Max stopped pulling the big bucket, and they looked at their mom and dad. They knew they were in trouble. They felt sorry, and they said sorry.
+
+"Sorry, mom, sorry, dad, we will share our buckets," Lily said.
+
+"Sorry, mom, sorry, dad, we will behave," Max said.
+
+Mom and dad hugged them, and they said they loved them. They gave them another chance to play in the sand, but they told them to be nice to each other.
+
+Lily and Max nodded, and they smiled. They decided to use the big bucket together to make a big castle, and the small bucket together to make a small hole. They had fun, and they were happy. They learned to share and behave.

+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily said, pointing to a picture of a giraffe. "It has a long neck and spots. Do you know what it is called?"
+
+Tom nodded. "It is a giraffe. I know because my dad told me. He knows a lot of things. He is very smart and proud."
+
+Lily felt a little sad. She wished her dad knew a lot of things too. She wanted to make him proud. She looked at the next page and saw a picture of a zebra. She had an idea.
+
+"I know what this is!" she said loudly. "It is a horse with stripes. I know because my mom told me. She knows a lot of things. She is very smart and proud."
+
+Tom frowned. He knew that was not true. He had learned the real name of the animal from his dad. He wanted to correct Lily, but he did not want to hurt her feelings. He looked at the next page and saw a picture of a monkey. He had another idea.
+
+"I know what this is!" he said loudly. "It is a banana eater. I know because my dad told me. He knows a lot of things. He is very smart and proud."
+
+Lily laughed. She knew that was not true. She had learned the real name of the animal from her mom. She wanted to tease Tom, but she did not want to make him angry. She looked at the next page and saw a picture of a penguin. She had another idea.
+
+"I know what this is!" she said loudly. "It is a black and white bird that can swim. I know because my mom told me. She knows a lot of things. She is very smart and proud."
+
+Tom smiled. He knew that was true. He had learned the same thing from his dad. He decided to play along with Lily. He looked at the next page and saw a picture of a crocodile. He had another idea.
+
+"I know what this is!" he said loudly. "It is a big lizard with teeth. I know because my dad told me. He knows a lot of things. He is very smart and proud."
+
+Lily nodded. She knew that was true too. She had learned the same thing from her mom. She decided to play along with Tom. She looked at the next page and saw a picture of a seal. She had another idea.
+
+"I know what this is!" she said loudly. "It is a fish with fur. I know because my mom told me. She knows a lot of things. She is very smart and proud."
+
+Tom and Lily laughed. They knew that was not true. They had made up silly names for the animals. They had fun playing with the book. They did not care if they were right or wrong. They were happy and proud to be friends. They did not slap each other. They hugged each other. They liked the library. They liked books. They liked animals. They liked each other.
+Sara and her mom went to the market. Sara liked the market. She saw many things. She saw fruits and flowers and toys and books. She wanted to touch everything.
+
+But mom said, "No, Sara, stay with me. The market is big and busy. You can get lost."
+
+Sara nodded, but she was curious. She saw a man with a hat and a coat. He had a box in his hand. He said, "Come, come, see the magic show. I can make things vanish. Do you want to see?"
+
+Sara wanted to see. She followed the man. She did not see mom. She did not hear mom. She only saw the box.
+
+The man opened the box. He took out a rabbit. The rabbit was white and fluffy. Sara liked the rabbit. She wanted to pet the rabbit.
+
+The man said, "Watch, watch, I will make the rabbit vanish. One, two, three, abracadabra!"
+
+He closed the box. He opened the box. The rabbit was gone. Sara was amazed. She clapped her hands.
+
+The man said, "Do you want to see more? Do you want to see the rabbit come back?"
+
+Sara said, "Yes, yes, please."
+
+The man said, "OK, OK, but you have to come with me. I have more magic in my car. Come, come, follow me."
+
+Sara followed the man. She did not see mom. She did not hear mom. She only saw the car.
+
+The man opened the car. He said, "Get in, get in, the rabbit is inside."
+
+Sara got in. The man got in. He closed the door. He locked the door. He started the car. He drove away.
+
+Sara was scared. She wanted mom. She wanted the rabbit. She cried.
+
+The man said, "Shut up, shut up, you are mine now. The rabbit is dead. I killed the rabbit. I will kill you too. You will vanish. No one will find you."
+
+Sara screamed. She kicked. She bit. She scratched. She fought.
+
+But the man was strong. He was mean. He was bad.
+
+He hit Sara. He hurt Sara. He made Sara bleed.
+
+Sara stopped screaming. She stopped kicking. She stopped biting. She stopped scratching. She stopped fighting.
+
+She closed her eyes. She was quiet. She was still.
+
+She vanished.
+Lily liked to play with her toy cars. She had many cars of different colors and sizes. She liked to make them zoom and beep on the floor. She also liked to pretend that they needed fuel to keep going.
+
+One day, she asked her big brother Tom to play with her. Tom agreed, but he wanted to teach Lily something new. He said, "Lily, do you know what fuel is? It is not just something you put in your cars. It is also something that makes fire and heat and light."
+
+Lily was curious. She said, "How does fuel make fire and heat and light?"
+
+Tom said, "Come with me, I will show you." He took Lily to the kitchen, where their mom was cooking. He pointed to the stove and said, "See, mom is using gas to cook. Gas is a kind of fuel. It comes from a pipe and when you turn a knob, it makes a flame. The flame is hot and it makes the food cook."
+
+Lily said, "Wow, that is cool. Can I touch the flame?"
+
+Tom said, "No, no, no. The flame is very hot and it can hurt you. You have to be careful with fire. Only mom and dad can use the stove. But you can watch from a safe distance."
+
+Lily nodded. She watched as mom stirred the pot and added some spices. She smelled the food and said, "Mmm, it smells good. What are you making, mom?"
+
+Mom said, "I am making soup. It is a cold day, so soup will warm us up. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please. What can I do?"
+
+Mom said, "You can be my creative helper. You can choose some crackers to go with the soup. You can pick any shape or color you like."
+
+Lily smiled. She liked to be creative. She ran to the pantry and looked for crackers. She found some that were round and some that were square and some that were star-shaped. She decided to mix them all and make a pattern on a plate. She said, "Look, Tom, look what I made. I made a cracker picture. It has circles and squares and stars. Do you like it?"
+
+Tom said, "I do, Lily. You are very creative. You made a beautiful picture. And I bet it will taste good too."
+
+Lily said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good teacher. You taught me about fuel and fire and heat and light. I learned a lot from you."
+
+Tom said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good learner. You asked good questions and you listened well. I had fun playing with you."
+
+Mom said, "I am proud of both of you. You are a good brother and sister. You play nicely and you help each other. Now, come and sit down. The soup is ready. Let's enjoy our lunch together."
+Tim and Tom were brothers who liked to play with toy soldiers. They had many soldiers of different colors and shapes. They made forts and bridges and hills with blocks and books and pillows. They pretended that their soldiers were fighting a big war.
+
+One day, Tim and Tom had a fight. Tim wanted to use the red soldiers, but Tom said they were his. Tom wanted to use the blue soldiers, but Tim said they were his. They both wanted to use the green soldiers, but they said they were theirs. They started to yell and pull and push each other.
+
+"Stop!" their mom said. She came into their room and saw the mess. She saw the soldiers and the blocks and the books and the pillows. She saw Tim and Tom with angry faces and tears in their eyes. "Why are you fighting? You are brothers. You should share and be kind."
+
+"But mom, we are playing war!" Tim said. "We need soldiers to fight the war!"
+
+"But mom, he took my soldiers!" Tom said. "He is not fair!"
+
+Mom shook her head. She picked up some soldiers and put them in a box. She picked up some blocks and books and pillows and put them away. She made the room clean and neat. She looked at Tim and Tom and said, "No more war. War is bad. War is difficult. War hurts people. You are not playing war. You are playing peace. You are playing love. You are playing fun. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Tom nodded. They felt sorry for fighting. They hugged mom and said, "We are sorry, mom. We love you. We love each other. We will play peace. We will play love. We will play fun."
+
+Mom smiled. She gave them a kiss and said, "That's good. I love you too. Now, why don't you play something else? Something that makes you happy and not angry. Something that uses your imagination and not your fists. Something that brings you together and not apart."
+
+Tim and Tom thought for a moment. They looked at each other and said, "How about we play pirates?" They ran to their closet and got their hats and swords and maps. They made a ship and a treasure and a parrot with their toys. They pretended that they were sailing the seas and having adventures.
+
+Mom watched them and smiled. She was glad that they stopped the war and started the fun. She hoped that they would always remember that peace is better than war, and love is better than hate. She hoped that they would always be brothers and friends.
+Jill liked to make things with thread. She had many colors of thread and a big needle. She could make flowers, stars, and letters with thread. She was very happy when she made something new.
+
+But her brother Jack did not like thread. He liked to play with cars and trucks. He was very noisy. He made loud sounds with his mouth and crashed his toys. He did not care about Jill's thread.
+
+One day, Jill was making a heart with red thread. She wanted to give it to Mommy for her birthday. She worked very hard and was almost done. But then Jack came into her room. He saw the heart and grabbed it. He said, "This is silly. Thread is for girls. Cars are better." He pulled the thread and broke the heart. Jill was very sad. She cried and cried.
+
+Mommy heard Jill cry and came into the room. She saw the broken heart and the thread. She saw Jack holding his cars. She was very angry. She said, "Jack, you are very naughty. You should not break Jill's things. You should be nice to your sister. You should encourage her to make things with thread. Thread is not for girls only. Thread is for everyone who likes to create. You should say sorry to Jill and help her fix the heart."
+
+Jack felt bad. He saw Jill's tears and felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Jill. I was wrong. Your heart is very pretty. I like your thread. Can I help you fix it?" Jill nodded and smiled. She gave Jack a needle and some thread. They worked together and fixed the heart. They gave it to Mommy and hugged her. Mommy was very happy. She said, "Thank you, Jill and Jack. You are very sweet. I love your heart and I love you." Jill and Jack felt proud and happy. They learned to share and encourage each other. They played with thread and cars and had fun.
+Ben and Mia like to jog with their dad in the park. They wear their shoes and hats and follow dad on the path. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, and dogs.
+
+One day, they see a big cable on the ground. It is black and thick and has yellow tape around it. Dad says it is for the workers who fix the lights. He says they have to be careful and not touch the cable.
+
+Ben and Mia are curious. They want to see the cable closer. They run to the cable and try to lift it. It is very heavy and hard. They hear a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, kids, stop that! That cable is dangerous! You could get hurt!"
+
+Ben and Mia look up and see a man in a helmet and a vest. He is one of the workers. He looks angry and scared.
+
+Ben and Mia are sorry. They drop the cable and run back to dad. They say sorry to the man.
+
+The man is polite. He says it is okay, but they have to listen to dad and stay away from the cable. He says he is glad they are not hurt. He says he likes to jog too, but only after work.
+
+Ben and Mia smile and nod. They say thank you to the man. They hold dad's hand and jog away. They learn to be careful and respectful in the park. They still like to jog with dad and see many things, but they do not touch the cable anymore.
+Tom and Anna are young friends who like to play outside. One day, they see a big train at the station. The train has a shiny engine and a lot of steam. They want to go closer and look at it.
+
+"Wow, look at the train!" Tom says. "It is so big and shiny!"
+
+"Yes, and it makes a lot of steam!" Anna says. "Can we go and touch it?"
+
+They run towards the train, but a man stops them. He is wearing a blue hat and a whistle. He is the train driver.
+
+"Hey, kids, be careful!" he says. "The train is hot and loud. You can't touch it or go near it. It is dangerous."
+
+Tom and Anna are sad. They want to see the train, but they don't want to get hurt.
+
+"Can we just watch it, please?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, you can watch it from here," the train driver says. "But don't go any closer. The train is going to leave soon."
+
+He blows his whistle and the train starts to move. Tom and Anna wave at the train driver and watch the train go away. They see the shiny engine and the steam disappear in the distance.
+
+"That was amazing!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, it was!" Tom says. "Maybe one day we can ride on a train like that!"
+
+They smile and hold hands. They are young friends who like to play outside.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They are three years old. They like to play and learn new things. They have a big brain that helps them remember and think.
+
+Today is a special day. It is their birthday. They are very happy. They want to celebrate with cake and balloons and presents. Mom and Dad are ready to make their day fun.
+
+But there is a problem. Lily and Ben have different ideas of how to celebrate. Lily wants to wear a pink dress and a crown. She wants to play with dolls and tea sets. Ben wants to wear a blue shirt and a hat. He wants to play with cars and trains.
+
+They start to fight. They pull and push and shout. They do not want to share their toys or their cake. Mom and Dad are sad. They do not like to see their twins fight.
+
+They have a plan. They whisper to each other and smile. They go to the kitchen and bring back a big surprise. It is a cake with two sides. One side is pink and has a crown. The other side is blue and has a hat. It has four candles. Two for Lily and two for Ben.
+
+Lily and Ben stop fighting. They see the cake and their eyes light up. They hug Mom and Dad and say thank you. They blow the candles and make a wish. They share the cake and their toys. They are happy. They celebrate their birthday together. They have a big brain and a big heart.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big car in the park. A man and a woman get out of the car. They look wealthy. They have nice clothes and shiny things.
+
+"Who are they?" Tom asks Mia.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are here to test the park," Mia says.
+
+"What do you mean, test the park?" Tom says.
+
+"Maybe they want to see if the park is good or bad. Maybe they want to buy the park," Mia says.
+
+Tom and Mia are curious. They go closer to the car. They see a cake on the seat of the car. The cake looks yummy. It has cream and berries on top.
+
+"Wow, look at that cake!" Tom says.
+
+"Can we have some?" Mia says.
+
+The man and the woman are not looking. They are talking to a park worker. Tom and Mia sneak to the car. They reach for the cake.
+
+"Stop!" the woman shouts. She sees Tom and Mia. She runs to the car. She is angry.
+
+"What are you doing? That is our cake! You can't have it!" she says.
+
+She grabs the cake from Tom and Mia. She holds it to her waist. She glares at them.
+
+"Sorry, we were hungry," Tom says.
+
+"We didn't know it was yours," Mia says.
+
+The woman snorts. She says, "You should know better. This is a very expensive cake. It is for our anniversary. We are celebrating. We are very wealthy. We don't share with poor kids like you."
+
+She gets in the car with the man. They drive away. They leave Tom and Mia in the park.
+
+Tom and Mia are sad. They feel bad. They walk away from the car.
+
+"That was not nice," Tom says.
+
+"No, it was not. They were mean," Mia says.
+
+They look at each other. They smile.
+
+"But we are still friends," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, we are. And we have each other," Mia says.
+
+They hug. They go to play in the park. They are happy.
+Jill and Jack liked to play with blocks. They made big stacks of blocks and pretended they were castles. One day, Jill said to Jack, "Let's marry and live in this castle." Jack said, "OK, but we need a ring." He looked around and saw a shiny button on the floor. He picked it up and put it on Jill's finger. "There, now we are married," he said.
+
+They were happy and played in their castle. But then, a big boy came and saw their blocks. He wanted to play with them too. He pushed their castle and made it fall. All the blocks scattered on the floor. Jill and Jack were sad and angry. They cried and shouted, "Go away, you are mean!"
+
+The big boy felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break your castle. I just wanted to play with you. Can we be friends?" Jill and Jack looked at him. They saw that he was not so bad. He had a nice smile and a funny hat. They thought for a moment. Then, Jill said, "OK, we can be friends. But you have to help us build a new castle." Jack said, "And you have to be nice to our ring. It is very special." The big boy agreed. He said, "OK, I will help you and be nice to your ring. What is it?" Jill said, "It is a button. But it is also our ring. We are married." The big boy laughed. He said, "You are funny. You can't marry with a button. You need a real ring." Jill and Jack looked at each other. They smiled. They said, "We don't need a real ring. We have a button. And we have love. That is enough."
+
+They all played together and built a new castle. It was bigger and better than the old one. They had fun and learned to share and be kind. They also learned that love is more important than things. And that a button can be a ring if you believe.
+Lily was a good girl who liked to learn new things. She wanted to be a doctor when she grew up. She had a big exam at school today. She studied hard and knew all the answers.
+
+She woke up early and got ready. She wore her favorite dress and shoes. She ate her breakfast and brushed her teeth. She kissed her mom and dad goodbye and went to the bus stop.
+
+On the bus, she met her friend Tom. Tom was a reliable friend who always helped her. He was also good at math and science. He had the same exam as Lily.
+
+"Hi, Lily. Are you ready for the exam?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, I am. I think it will be easy. How about you?" Lily answered.
+
+"I am ready, too. I hope we get good grades. Do you want to sit next to me?" Tom offered.
+
+"Sure, that would be nice. Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." Lily said.
+
+They got off the bus and walked to the school. They entered the classroom and found their seats. The teacher gave them the exam papers and told them to start.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at the questions and smiled. They knew all the answers. They wrote them down quickly and neatly. They finished the exam before the time was up.
+
+They checked their answers and gave the papers to the teacher. The teacher looked at them and nodded. She was proud of them. She said they did a great job.
+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They hugged each other and thanked the teacher. They went out of the classroom and waited for the bus.
+
+They decided to send a card to their parents to tell them about the exam. They wrote: "We did well on the exam. We are smart and happy. We love you. Lily and Tom."
+
+They put the card in an envelope and gave it to the mailman. They hoped their parents would be proud of them, too. They got on the bus and went home. They had a good day.
+Anna and Ben were very happy to go to the farm with their mom and dad. They had a big bag with clothes and toys and snacks. They wanted to see the cows and the chickens and the horses.
+
+When they got to the farm, they saw a big red truck with a motor. It was making a loud noise. Anna and Ben wanted to go near it, but their mom said, "No, it is not safe. The motor is hot and can hurt you. Stay away from the truck."
+
+They listened to their mom and went to the house with their dad. Their dad said, "Let's unpack our bag and put our things in the room. Then we can go and play outside." Anna and Ben nodded and followed their dad.
+
+They went to the room and opened the bag. Anna took out her doll and her book. Ben took out his car and his ball. They put them on the bed. Then they heard a scream. It was their mom. She sounded scared.
+
+They ran to the door and saw their mom outside. She was pointing at the truck. The truck was on fire. The motor was smoking and sparking. The fire was spreading to the grass and the trees. Anna and Ben felt helpless. They did not know what to do.
+
+Their dad ran to the phone and called for help. He said, "There is a fire at the farm. We need a fire truck and a water hose. Hurry, please!" He hung up the phone and ran outside. He grabbed a bucket and filled it with water. He threw the water at the fire, but it was not enough.
+
+Anna and Ben hugged each other and prayed. They hoped that the fire truck would come soon and put out the fire. They hoped that the animals and the plants would be safe. They hoped that their mom and dad would be okay. They hoped that the fire would go away.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big tent. Inside the tent, there are many people doing yoga. Yoga is when you move your body in different ways and breathe slowly.
+
+Lila and Tom are curious. They want to try yoga too. They ask their moms if they can join. Their moms say yes, but they have to be quiet and follow the teacher. The teacher is a nice lady with long hair. She smiles at Lila and Tom and gives them each a mat. A mat is a soft thing you put on the ground.
+
+The teacher tells everyone to sit on their mats and close their eyes. She says they are going to do a mild yoga. Mild means not too hard and not too easy. Lila and Tom close their eyes and listen to the teacher. She tells them to breathe in and out and relax their bodies. Lila and Tom try to do what the teacher says, but they feel a little silly.
+
+The teacher tells them to open their eyes and stand up. She says they are going to do some poses. Poses are when you make shapes with your body. The teacher shows them how to do a pose called tree. Tree is when you stand on one leg and lift the other leg and put your foot on your knee. You also put your hands together above your head.
+
+Lila and Tom try to do the tree pose, but they find it hard. They wobble and lose their balance. They giggle and look at each other. The teacher tells them to try again and focus. Lila and Tom try to focus, but they still wobble. They see some other people in the tent who are doing the tree pose very well. They feel a little shy.
+
+The teacher tells them to do another pose called lion. Lion is when you kneel on your mat and open your mouth and stick out your tongue. You also make a loud roar. Lila and Tom like the lion pose. They think it is fun and funny. They open their mouths and stick out their tongues and roar as loud as they can. They see the teacher and the other people in the tent smile and laugh. They feel happy.
+
+The teacher tells them to do one more pose called child. Child is when you sit on your heels and bend forward and rest your forehead on your mat. You also wrap your arms around your legs. The teacher says this pose is good for calming down and resting. Lila and Tom do the child pose and feel cozy and warm. They hear the teacher say some nice words to them. They feel proud.
+
+The teacher tells them to sit up and clap their hands. She says they did a great job and they are very good at yoga. She says they can come back anytime they want. Lila and Tom clap their hands and thank the teacher. They also hug their moms and tell them they had fun. Their moms tell them they are proud of them too. Lila and Tom smile and hold hands. They are happy they tried yoga. They are happy they are friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and dance together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There is a big slide and a swing and a sandbox. Lily and Ben are happy.
+
+They run to the slide and take turns. They go fast and laugh. Then they go to the swing and push each other. They go high and feel the wind. Then they go to the sandbox and make a castle. They use a bucket and a shovel and some sticks. They are proud of their castle.
+
+But then a big boy comes. He is mean. He kicks their castle and breaks it. He says, "This is my sandbox. Go away." Lily and Ben are sad. They frown and say, "No, this is our castle. You are bad. Go away." But the big boy does not listen. He kicks their bucket and shovel and sticks. He laughs and says, "You are babies. You can't stop me."
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They run to their moms and tell them what happened. Their moms are angry. They go to the big boy and say, "You are rude. You can't do that. You have to say sorry and share." But the big boy does not listen. He says, "No, I don't. This is my park. You go away." He sticks out his tongue and runs away.
+
+Lily and Ben are still sad. They don't want to play anymore. They hug their moms and say, "We want to go home." Their moms say, "OK, let's go home. But first, let's do something fun. Let's dance." They turn on some music and start to dance. They move their arms and legs and hips and heads. They smile and giggle. They forget about the big boy and the broken castle. They are happy again. They dance and dance until it is time to go home. They say bye to each other and hug. They say, "We are friends. We like to dance. We will play again tomorrow." They are happy.
+Tommy and Lucy were playing in the park with their dog, Spot. They had a ball, a rope, and a bone for Spot. They threw the ball and the rope for Spot to catch, and he ran after them happily. But when they gave him the bone, he did not want to share it. He growled and snapped at Tommy and Lucy when they tried to touch it.
+
+"Spot, that is not nice!" Tommy said. "We are your friends, and we share our toys with you. You should share your bone with us, too."
+
+"No, this is my bone!" Spot barked. "I found it, and I like it. It is hard and sweet and good for my teeth. Go away and leave me alone!"
+
+Tommy and Lucy felt sad and hurt. They did not want to play with Spot anymore. They walked away and sat on a bench. They wondered why Spot was so mean and selfish.
+
+Then they saw a big dog coming towards them. It was Rex, the meanest dog in the park. He saw Spot with his bone, and he wanted it for himself. He ran towards Spot and barked loudly.
+
+"Give me that bone, you little runt!" Rex snarled. "I am bigger and stronger than you, and I can take whatever I want!"
+
+Spot was scared. He realized that he had made a mistake. He wished he had shared his bone with Tommy and Lucy, who were his true friends. He wished they were here to help him. He tried to run away, but Rex was faster and caught him. He bit him on the ear and made him drop the bone.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Spot cried. "Help, help, help!"
+
+Tommy and Lucy heard Spot's cries. They felt sorry for him, even though he had been rude to them. They decided to be brave and kind, and help him. They picked up a stick and a stone, and ran towards Rex. They threw the stick and the stone at him, and shouted.
+
+"Leave Spot alone, you bully!" Tommy yelled. "He is our friend, and you can't hurt him!"
+
+"Go away, you big meanie!" Lucy shouted. "You can't have his bone, it is his!"
+
+Rex was surprised and angry. He did not like being attacked by two little kids. He let go of Spot's ear, and growled at them. He was about to charge at them, when he heard a loud whistle. It was the park ranger, who had seen the fight. He came over and scolded Rex.
+
+"Bad dog, bad dog!" he said. "You can't go around biting and stealing from other dogs. You have to behave, or I will take you to the pound!"
+
+He put a leash on Rex, and dragged him away. Rex whimpered and whined, but he could not escape.
+
+Tommy and Lucy ran to Spot, and hugged him. They checked his ear, and saw that it was bleeding a little, but not too much. They gave him his bone back, and said.
+
+"Are you okay, Spot?" Tommy asked. "We are sorry that Rex hurt you."
+
+"We are glad that you are safe, Spot," Lucy said. "We still love you, even though you were mean to us."
+
+Spot licked their faces, and wagged his tail. He felt ashamed and grateful. He realized that he had been a bad friend, and that he had learned a lesson. He said.
+
+"Thank you, Tommy and Lucy. You are the best friends ever. I am sorry that I was mean and selfish. I will share my bone with you, and anything else you want. Can we still play together?"
+
+Tommy and Lucy smiled, and nodded. They said.
+
+"Of course, Spot. We are happy to play with you. Sharing is caring, and caring is fun. Let's go and have some more fun!"
+
+They took the ball, the rope, and the bone, and played together in the park. Spot was happy, and so were Tommy and Lucy. They had a great time, and they never fought over the bone again.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big sign. The sign has a picture of a dog and a ball. The sign says: "Give the dog a ball. He is sad."
+
+Lily and Tom want to help the dog. They look for a ball. They find a ball under a tree. The ball is rough and dirty. But they think the dog will like it.
+
+They go to the sign. They see the dog. The dog is big and brown. He has a long tail. He looks at them with sad eyes.
+
+"Hello, dog," Lily says. "We have a ball for you. Do you want to play?"
+
+The dog wags his tail. He barks. He looks happy.
+

+Mom looked at the paper and frowned. She recognized it. It was an important paper for her work. She had to give it to her boss today.
+
+"Lily, where did you get this paper?" mom asked. She was not happy.
+
+"I got it from the file in the office," Lily said. She smiled. She thought mom would like the paper too.
+
+Mom did not smile. She was angry. She took the paper from Lily and scolded her.
+
+"Lily, you should not take papers from the file in the office. Those papers are not for playing. They are for working. You could have lost or damaged them. Do you know how much trouble you could have caused me?"
+
+Lily did not know. She felt bad. She saw mom's angry face and Ben's sad face. She realized she had done something wrong. She regretted taking the paper.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. She started to cry. "I didn't mean to make you mad. I just liked the paper. It was so lovely."

+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play ball in the park. They see a big hill. They want to go up the hill.
+
+"Let's have a race!" Tom says. "Who can rise to the top first?"
+
+"OK!" Sam says. "I will win!"
+
+They run and run. They pant and puff. The hill is steep and hard. Tom is faster than Sam. He is almost at the top.
+
+But then he sees a hole. He is nosy. He wants to look inside. He stops and bends down. He hears a growl.
+
+"Ow!" Tom yelps. "A dog bit me!"

+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play on the beach. They had a big bucket and a small shovel to make sand castles. They also liked to look for shells and crabs in the water.
+
+One day, they saw a big wave coming. It was the tide. The tide made the water go up and down. Lily and Tom wanted to see the tide closer. They left their bucket and shovel on the sand and ran to the water.
+
+But the tide was too fast and strong. It reached their feet and made them wet. They tried to run back, but the water was deeper and deeper. They were scared and cried for help.
+
+Their mom heard them and ran to them. She grabbed them by their arms and pulled them out of the water. She was angry and worried.
+
+"Why did you go to the water? You know it is dangerous. You could have drowned. You are foolish!" she said.
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They promised to never go to the water again without her.
+
+They went back to their bucket and shovel. They saw that the tide had washed away their sand castles. They were sad, but they learned their lesson.

+
+Lily looked at the whistle and then at Ben. She liked the whistle too, but she saw that Ben wanted it more. She was a generous girl, and she wanted to make Ben happy.
+
+"Okay, you can have it," she said. "But you have to share it with me sometimes."
+
+Ben smiled and hugged Lily. "Thank you, Lily! You are very kind. Of course I will share it with you. You are my best friend."

+Ben was a miserable man. He did not like to share his toys or his food with anyone. He always said "mine, mine, mine" and pushed others away. He lived alone in a big house with many things, but he was not happy.
+
+One day, he saw a boy playing with a ball in the park. The ball was red and shiny and Ben wanted it. He ran to the boy and snatched the ball from his hands. He shouted "mine, mine, mine" and ran away. The boy cried and ran after him.

+"Give me back my ball, please!" the boy said. "It was a gift from my mom. She is very sick and I love her very much. The ball makes me think of her."
+
+Ben did not care. He laughed and said "too bad, too bad, too bad. It is mine now. Go away, you have nothing."
+
+But as he ran, he tripped and fell. The ball rolled out of his hands and bounced away. He hurt his knee and his elbow and his head. He cried and cried, but no one came to help him. He looked around and saw that he was alone. He had no friends, no family, no one who loved him.
+
+He regretted being so mean and selfish. He wished he had been kind and generous. He wished he had given the ball back to the boy and played with him. He wished he had someone to hug him and make him feel better.
+
+He learned a hard lesson that day. He realized that things are not as important as people. He decided to change his ways and be a nicer man. He hoped it was not too late.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play a lot. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big, green monster. They named him Momo and pretended he was their friend. They took turns to hug him, talk to him and make him roar.
+
+One day, their mom said they had to go to bed early, because they had school the next day. Anna and Ben did not want to stop playing with Momo. They said, "Please, mom, just five more minutes!"
+
+Mom said, "No, you have to sleep now. Momo is also sleepy. He needs to rest for tomorrow. If you play too much, you will be tired and grumpy in the morning. And Momo will be sad, because he loves you and wants you to be happy."
+
+Anna and Ben looked at Momo and saw that he had droopy eyes and a big yawn. They felt sorry for him and realized that mom was right. They said, "Sorry, mom, you are right. We love Momo and we want him to be happy too. We will go to bed now and play with him again tomorrow."
+
+They gave Momo a big hug and a kiss and put him in his basket. Then they brushed their teeth, put on their pajamas and climbed into their beds. Mom tucked them in and kissed them good night.

+
+He tells his mom, "Mom, I have enough money now. Can we go to the shop and buy the big train?"
+
+His mom is surprised. She says, "How did you get so much money, Sam? Did you do some chores? Did you sell some toys?"
+
+Sam feels guilty. He does not want to lie to his mom. He says, "No, mom. I took some money from your purse. I'm sorry. I really wanted the big train."
+
+His mom is angry and sad. She says, "Sam, that is very wrong. You can't take money that is not yours. That is stealing. You have to give the money back. And you can't buy the big train. You have to wait until you earn it."
+
+Sam feels ashamed. He cries. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I made a mistake. I won't do it again. Please forgive me."

+
+One day, Anna's mom gave her a pastel. A pastel was a stick of color that she could use to draw on paper. Anna was very happy. She thanked her mom and ran to her room. She wanted to draw a picture of her dancing.
+
+She took a big sheet of paper and a pastel. She chose a pink pastel, because pink was her favorite color. She started to draw herself dancing. She drew a big circle for her head, two sticks for her arms, two sticks for her legs, and a triangle for her dress. She drew a smile on her face and two dots for her eyes.

+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to observe the flowers, the birds and the bugs. They had a magnifying glass to see things better.
+
+"Look, Ben, a mosquito!" Lily said, pointing to a small, black insect on a leaf. "It has a long nose and wings."
+
+Ben moved closer to observe the mosquito. He saw that it had six legs and tiny hairs. He wondered what it ate and where it lived.
+
+"Be careful, Lily, mosquitoes can bite you!" Ben said. "They suck your blood and make you itchy."
+
+Lily frowned. She did not like the sound of that. She wanted to observe something else.
+
+"Let's go see the pond, Ben," she said. "Maybe we can find some frogs or fish."
+
+They ran to the pond and saw the water shining in the sun. It was brilliant and blue. They saw some ripples and bubbles on the surface.
+
+"Look, Lily, a fish!" Ben said, excited. "It has scales and fins and a tail."
+
+Lily smiled. She liked the fish. It was colorful and shiny. She wanted to touch it.
+
+"Can we feed the fish, Ben?" she asked. "Maybe they are hungry."
+
+Ben nodded. He had some bread crumbs in his pocket. He threw some into the pond and watched the fish come closer.
+
+"Wow, they are so fast and smart!" he said. "They can find the food easily."
+
+Lily and Ben observed the fish for a long time. They had fun and learned a lot. They forgot about the mosquito and the bite. They only remembered the brilliant pond and the friendly fish.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their bikes. They liked to ride fast and make loud noises with their motors. They pretended they were racers and chased each other around the trees and swings.
+
+"Look at me, Lily! I'm the fastest!" Tom shouted as he zoomed past her.
+
+"No, you're not! I'm the fastest!" Lily said as she tried to catch up with him.
+
+They were having so much fun that they did not see the big sign that said "Dangerous! Do not enter!" It was near a fence that blocked a road with many cars and trucks. Tom was so busy looking at Lily that he did not notice the sign or the fence. He rode his bike straight into the fence and crashed.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cried as he fell off his bike. His motor broke and his knee was bleeding. He felt very scared and hurt.
+
+Lily heard his cry and stopped her bike. She saw Tom on the ground and ran to him. She was very worried and sad.
+
+"Tom, are you okay? What happened?" Lily asked as she hugged him.
+
+"I hit the fence. It was dangerous. I did not see it. I'm sorry, Lily. I miss our game." Tom said as he sobbed.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. I miss our game too. But you need to be careful. You could have been hurt more. Come on, let's go find a grown-up. They will help you." Lily said as she helped him stand up.
+
+She took his hand and they walked to the park entrance. They saw a lady with a red cross on her shirt. She was a nurse. She saw them and smiled.
+
+"Hello, children. What happened?" She asked.
+
+"Tom crashed his bike. His motor is broken and his knee is bleeding. Can you help him?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course, I can. Come with me. I have a band-aid and a sticker for you. You are very brave." The nurse said.
+
+She took them to a bench and cleaned Tom's knee. She put a band-aid on it and gave him a sticker with a star. She also gave Lily a sticker for being a good friend.
+
+"Thank you, nurse. You are very nice." Tom said.
+
+"You're welcome, Tom. And thank you, Lily, for taking care of him. You are very kind." The nurse said.
+
+Lily and Tom smiled. They felt better. They still missed their game, but they were happy to have each other. They hugged and said goodbye to the nurse. They decided to go home and play with their toys. They agreed to be more careful next time. They learned that bikes are fun, but fences are dangerous.
+Lily and Tom were playing with blocks. They wanted to make a big tower. Lily had many blocks, but Tom had only a few. Tom asked Lily to share some blocks with him.
+
+"Please, Lily, can I have some blocks? My tower is too small," Tom said.
+
+But Lily did not want to share. She ignored Tom and kept building her tower. She wanted to have the biggest tower of all.
+
+Tom felt sad and angry. He looked around and saw a piece of wood. It was long and thin. He had an idea. He smiled and picked up the piece of wood.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a stick. It is better than blocks. I can make a bridge with it," Tom said.
+
+Lily did not care. She ignored Tom and his stick. She added more blocks to her tower. It was very tall and wobbly.
+
+Tom put his stick on the floor. He pretended to make a bridge. He walked on the stick, slow and careful. He wanted Lily to see him and be jealous.
+
+But Lily did not look. She ignored Tom and his bridge. She reached for the last block. She put it on top of her tower. She was proud and happy.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The tower was too heavy and unstable. It fell down with a loud crash. The blocks flew everywhere. Lily was shocked and scared.
+
+Tom saw what happened. He felt sorry for Lily. He ran to her and hugged her.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily? I'm sorry your tower broke. Do you want to play with me and my stick?" Tom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She felt sorry too. She realized she was mean to Tom. She smiled and hugged him back.
+
+"Yes, Tom, I want to play with you and your stick. And I want to share my blocks with you. Can we make a new tower together?" Lily said.
+
+Tom nodded. He felt happy. He and Lily picked up the blocks and the stick. They started to make a new tower. A tower that was strong and fun. A tower that they made together.
+Anna was lonely. She had no friends to play with. She liked to look at the magazine with many pictures of animals and flowers. She wished she could have a pet like the ones in the magazine.
+
+One day, she saw a big box outside her house. It had a sign that said "Complete this puzzle and get a surprise". Anna was curious. She opened the box and found many pieces of cardboard with different shapes and colors. She decided to try the puzzle.
+
+She took the pieces to her room and started to fit them together. It was hard, but she did not give up. She looked at the magazine for clues. She saw a picture of a dog with brown fur and a black nose. She found the pieces that matched the dog and put them in the right place. She did the same for the other animals and flowers. She was happy when she completed the puzzle. It looked like the magazine.
+
+She heard a sound from the box. She ran to see what it was. She opened the box and saw a small puppy with brown fur and a black nose. It wagged its tail and licked her face. Anna was surprised and delighted. She hugged the puppy and named it Lucky. She thanked the puzzle and the magazine for giving her a friend. She was not lonely anymore. She and Lucky played and had fun. They were very happy.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a long, thin thing on the grass. It was a snake.
+
+"Look, a snake!" Tom said. "Let's catch it and keep it as a pet."
+
+"No, snakes are bad. They can bite and hurt us. We should leave it alone," Sam said.
+
+But Tom did not listen to Sam. He ran to the snake and tried to grab it. The snake did not like that. It hissed and showed its sharp teeth.
+
+"Stop, Tom, stop!" Sam shouted. "The snake is angry. It will bite you!"
+
+But Tom did not stop. He thought he was brave and clever. He thought the snake would be useful. He thought he could make it do tricks and scare other people.
+
+He was wrong. The snake bit him on the hand. Tom screamed and let go of the snake. The snake slithered away. Tom's hand was red and swollen. It hurt a lot.
+
+Sam ran to Tom and tried to help him. He cried and called for their mom. Their mom came and saw what happened. She was very scared and angry. She took Tom to the hospital. The doctor gave him a shot and a bandage. He said Tom was lucky. The snake was not very poisonous. But he still had to stay in the hospital for a few days.
+
+Sam was sad and sorry. He wished Tom had listened to him. He wished they had not played with the snake. He learned a lesson. He learned that snakes are not pets. He learned that lying is not good. He learned that being brave and clever is not enough. He learned that sometimes, listening is the most useful thing to do.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a box of matches in the kitchen. They do not know what matches are. They think they are sticks.
+
+Lily says, "Let's play with the sticks. They look fun." Tom says, "OK, but be careful. They might hurt us." Lily says, "Don't worry. I know how to play with sticks. Trust me."
+
+Lily takes a match and rubs it on the box. The match makes a bright light and a loud sound. Lily is scared. She drops the match on the floor. The match sets a paper on fire. The fire grows bigger and bigger.
+
+Tom sees the fire and shouts, "Help! Help! Fire! Fire!" He runs to the door and opens it. He sees an old man outside. The old man is their neighbor. He is kind and friendly. He hears Tom and comes in.
+
+The old man sees the fire and the matches. He grabs a blanket and puts out the fire. He says, "What are you doing, kids? Matches are not toys. They are dangerous. They can burn you and your house. You should never play with matches. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They are sorry and scared. They say, "We are sorry, sir. We did not know. We will never play with matches again. Thank you for saving us." The old man says, "You are welcome, kids. But you should always listen to your parents and teachers. They know what is good and bad for you. And you should always be careful and smart. Trust me, I am old and wise." Lily and Tom hug the old man and say, "We will, sir. We trust you."
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big box of toys, but they always wanted more. One day, they saw a worm crawling on the ground. They thought it was funny and wanted to catch it.
+
+"Look, a worm!" Tim said. "Let's attach it to this string and make it dance!"
+
+"No, let's attach it to this stick and make it wiggle!" Kim said.
+
+They both reached for the worm, but it was too fast and slipped away. They chased it around the garden, but they could not catch it. They got tired and dirty, and their toys were left alone.
+
+"Where is the worm?" Tim asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it went home," Kim said.
+
+They looked at each other and felt sad. They had wasted their time and ignored their toys. They realized they had been greedy and mean to the worm.
+
+"Maybe we should say sorry to the worm," Tim said.
+
+"Maybe we should play with our toys instead," Kim said.
+
+They went back to their box of toys and saw that there were many available. They picked up their favorite ones and started to play. They had fun and shared their toys. They learned to be happy with what they had and to be kind to animals.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. They saw a big stream with clear water and many fish. They wanted to go near the stream and look at the fish.
+
+"Can we go, mom? Can we go, dad?" they asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. The stream is mighty and can make you fall," mom and dad said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and ran to the stream. They saw many fish of different colors and sizes. They pointed and named the fish they knew. They saw a red fish, a blue fish, a yellow fish, and a green fish. They also saw a big fish with a long mouth and sharp teeth.
+
+"Wow, look at that fish! It is so big and scary!" Tom said.
+
+"I don't like that fish. It looks mean and hungry," Lily said.
+
+They moved away from the big fish and looked for other fish. They saw a small fish with a shiny tail and a smiley face. It swam near them and made bubbles.
+
+"Hi, fish! You are so pretty and friendly!" Lily said.
+
+"Hello, fish! You have a nice smile!" Tom said.
+
+The fish smiled more and wagged its tail. It seemed to like Tom and Lily. They smiled back and waved their hands. They felt happy and curious.
+
+"Mom, dad, come and see this fish! It is so cute and funny!" they called.
+
+Mom and dad came and saw the fish. They smiled too and praised Tom and Lily for being gentle and kind to the fish.
+
+They all watched the fish for a while and then said goodbye. They thanked the fish for making them smile and wished it a good day. They left the stream and went to have a picnic. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot. They loved the park and the stream and the fish. They hoped to come back soon.
+Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their mom. The park was very busy with many people and things. Tom and Anna saw a big balloon stand. They wanted to get a balloon each.
+
+They asked their mom for some money. Their mom gave them some money and told them to be careful and stay close. Tom and Anna ran to the balloon stand. They saw many balloons of different colors and shapes. They were very happy.
+
+Tom chose a red balloon that looked like a car. Anna chose a yellow balloon that looked like a flower. They paid the man and thanked him. They held their balloons tightly and smiled.
+
+They wanted to show their mom their balloons. But they could not see their mom. They looked around and saw that the park was very busy. They felt scared and lost. They did not know what to do.
+
+They started to cry. A nice lady saw them and asked them what was wrong. They told her that they could not find their mom. The lady said she would help them. She took them to a big tree where there was a sign that said "Lost and Found". She told them to wait there and she would look for their mom.
+
+Tom and Anna waited under the tree. They hugged their balloons and each other. They hoped their mom would come soon. They learned that they should not run away from their mom in a busy place. They discovered that it was not safe and fun.
+
+After a while, they saw their mom running towards them. She looked worried and relieved. She hugged them and kissed them. She said she was sorry and she was glad they were okay. She thanked the lady for helping them. She said they should always listen to her and stay close to her.
+
+Tom and Anna said they were sorry and they loved her. They showed her their balloons and she said they were very nice. They said they learned their lesson and they would not run away again. They discovered that their mom was the best thing they had.
+Tom and Mia are friends who like to play soccer. They are very enthusiastic players who always run and kick the ball. One day, they go to the park with their moms and see a big soccer field. There are many other players there, wearing different colors.
+
+"Can we play with them, mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, honey, but you have to ask them nicely and follow the rules," his mom says.
+
+Tom and Mia run to the field and notice a boy with a red shirt. He has the ball and is very fast. He looks like a good player.
+
+"Hi, can we play with you?" Mia says.
+
+The boy with the red shirt stops and looks at them. He smiles and says, "Sure, you can join my team. We are the reds. What are your names?"
+
+"I'm Mia and this is Tom. We love soccer," Mia says.
+
+"Nice to meet you. I'm Leo. Come on, let's play," Leo says.
+
+He passes the ball to Tom and they run to the goal. Mia follows them and cheers. They are having fun and making new friends.
+
+But then, they notice a girl with a blue shirt. She is on the other team and is very angry. She does not like to lose and she does not like to share. She wants the ball for herself and she kicks it hard. She does not care if she hurts anyone.
+
+She sees Tom and Mia and Leo and thinks, "They are new and they are bad. I will show them who is the best player."
+
+She runs to them and tries to take the ball from Leo. She pushes him and he falls. She kicks the ball to the goal and scores. She laughs and says, "Ha! I am the best! You are losers!"
+
+Tom and Mia and Leo are sad and hurt. They do not like the girl with the blue shirt. She is mean and rude. They do not want to play with her.
+
+"Are you okay, Leo?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yeah, I'm okay. But she is not nice. She does not know how to play soccer. She only knows how to be selfish," Leo says.
+
+"Let's go play somewhere else. We don't need her," Mia says.
+
+They get up and walk away from the field. They find a smaller field with no other players. They play soccer there, with their own rules and their own fun. They are enthusiastic players who always run and kick the ball. And they are happy.
+Anna liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and she made marks on paper. She drew her family, her dog, her house and her toys. She was happy when she drew.
+
+One day, she wanted to draw on the wall. She thought the wall was too white and boring. She took a red crayon and made a big mark on the wall. She smiled and said, "Look, Mommy, I made a flower!"
+
+Mommy saw the mark on the wall and was not happy. She said, "Anna, you should not draw on the wall. That is not good. You have to release the crayon and say sorry. Then you have to help me clean the wall."
+
+Anna felt sad and scared. She did not want to make Mommy angry. She released the crayon and said, "Sorry, Mommy, I did not know. I will help you clean the wall."
+
+Mommy hugged Anna and said, "It's okay, Anna, I love you. But next time, please draw only on paper. The wall is not for drawing. Come, let's get a sponge and some water and clean the mark together."
+
+Anna nodded and followed Mommy. She got a sponge and some water and helped Mommy clean the mark. It took a long time, but they did it. The wall was white again.
+
+Mommy said, "Good job, Anna, you are a good helper. Now, let's go to your room and find some paper for you to draw on. You can make as many marks as you want on paper."
+
+Anna said, "Thank you, Mommy, you are the best. Can I draw a tall giraffe?"
+
+Mommy said, "Sure, Anna, you can draw a tall giraffe. And anything else you like. I can't wait to see your drawings."
+
+Anna smiled and ran to her room. She picked up her crayons and paper and started to draw. She was happy again.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today is their birthday. They are very happy.

+
+He walks to the rock and reaches out his hand. The frog is green and wet. It feels slimy and bumpy. Tom smiles and says, "Hello, frog!"
+
+The frog does not like Tom. It does not want to be touched. It jumps off the rock and lands on Tom's head. Tom feels a thud and a tickle. He screams and runs away.
+
+The frog hops back to the rock. It croaks and looks happy. It does not want to play with Tom. It likes to be alone.

+
+One day, they found their chess board broken in half. Someone had stepped on it and cracked it. Lily and Ben were very sad. They loved their chess board and wanted to play with it.
+
+They went to dad and showed him the broken board. Dad looked at it and said, "Oh no, this is bad. But don't worry, we can restore it. Restore means to fix something that is broken and make it good again."
+
+He took the board and some glue and tape and went to his workshop. Lily and Ben followed him and watched him work. He put the two halves of the board together and glued them. Then he wrapped some tape around them to hold them tight. He let the glue dry and then removed the tape.
+
+He gave the board back to Lily and Ben and said, "There, it's restored. It's not perfect, but it's good enough to play. Do you want to play a game with me?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They were very happy. They thanked dad and set up the pieces on the board. They played a game with dad and had fun. They were persistent.

+Timmy was hungry. He wanted to eat something yummy. He saw a big cake on the table. It was daddy's birthday cake. It had red and blue and yellow and green on it. It looked very good.
+
+Timmy climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. He took a big bite. But the cake was not yummy. It was terrible. It was salty and sour and bitter and spicy. Timmy spat out the cake and made a face. He felt sick.
+
+"Timmy, what are you doing?" daddy asked. He came into the kitchen and saw Timmy and the cake. He was angry and sad. He had made the cake himself. He had put salt and vinegar and lemon and pepper on it. He wanted to make a funny cake for his birthday. He wanted to surprise mommy and Timmy and make them laugh.
+
+But Timmy did not laugh. He cried. He was sorry. He did not know it was a funny cake. He did not know it was daddy's birthday. He wanted to make daddy happy, not sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, daddy," Timmy said. "I wanted to eat something yummy. I did not know it was your cake. I did not know it was terrible."
+
+Daddy hugged Timmy and wiped his tears. He was not angry anymore. He was sorry too. He did not mean to make Timmy sick. He did not know Timmy would eat the cake. He wanted to make Timmy happy, not sad.
+
+"It's okay, Timmy," daddy said. "I forgive you. I love you. You are my best gift. And I have another cake for us. A real cake. A yummy cake. With chocolate and cream and cherries on it. Do you want to eat some?"
+
+Timmy nodded and smiled. He loved daddy. He was happy. He wanted to eat some cake. He wanted to celebrate daddy's birthday. He wanted to say sorry to mommy too. He hoped she would not be mad. He hoped she would like the yummy cake. He hoped they would all laugh and have fun.
+Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They pretended to be chefs and made yummy food with pots and pans. One day, they wanted to make a cake for their mom, who was feeling sick.
+
+They found a big bowl and some flour, sugar, eggs and milk. They poured and cracked and mixed everything together. Then they looked for a teaspoon to measure some vanilla. But they could not find one. All the spoons were too big or too small.
+
+"Where is the teaspoon?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe mom used it and forgot to put it back," Anna said.
+
+They searched and searched, but they could not find the teaspoon. They started to feel sad and worried. How could they make the cake without the teaspoon?
+
+Then they saw their dad coming into the kitchen. He had a pale face and a tired smile. He saw the twins and the bowl of batter.
+
+"Hi, kids. What are you doing?" he asked.
+
+"We are making a cake for mom, but we can't find the teaspoon," Tom said.
+
+"Oh, I see. Well, that's very sweet of you, but you don't need a teaspoon. You can use your fingers to measure the vanilla. Just dip one finger in the bottle and then stir it into the batter. That's how I do it sometimes," he said.
+
+"Really? Can we do that?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, why not? It's fun and easy. And mom will love your cake, no matter what. She knows you are trying to support her and make her happy," he said.
+
+He helped them dip their fingers in the vanilla and stir it into the batter. Then he helped them pour the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. He hugged them and said they were the best chefs ever.
+
+Tom and Anna smiled and hugged him back. They were glad they had their dad to support them and teach them new things. They could not wait to see mom's face when she tasted their cake. They hoped it would make her feel better.

+
+They sing very loud and have fun. They clap their hands and stomp their feet. They make their dinosaurs dance and roar. They do not hear their mom coming into the room.
+
+"Wow, what a loud song!" mom says. "You two are very good singers. But maybe you can sing a little quieter. The baby is sleeping and he needs his nap."
+
+Ben and Lily look at mom and smile. They say sorry to mom and the baby. They love their baby brother, but sometimes they forget he is there. They say they will sing a softer song for him.
+
+They pick up their dinosaurs and cuddle them. They sing a new song. "Dinosaurs, dinosaurs, we love you. Dinosaurs, dinosaurs, you are cool. Dinosaurs, dinosaurs, you are kind. Dinosaurs, dinosaurs, sleep tight!"

+
+"Let's shoot the birds!" Sam said. He pointed his toy gun at a seagull and made a loud noise.
+
+"No, don't do that!" Tom said. He knew that shooting birds was bad and mean. "The birds are nice and they live here. We should not hurt them."
+
+But Sam did not listen. He shot at another bird and laughed. He thought it was fun and cool. He did not care what Tom said.
+
+The bird that Sam shot was angry and scared. It flew away and told its friends. The other birds did not like Sam either. They decided to teach him a lesson. They flew over Sam and dropped their poop on him. Sam was covered in white and brown and green poop. It was disgusting and smelly and sticky.
+
+"Help! Help!" Sam cried. He ran to his dad and tried to wipe off the poop. But it was too much and too hard. He felt sick and dirty.
+
+Tom and his dad looked at Sam and shook their heads. They were not sorry for him. They knew he deserved it. They told him that he should not shoot at living things. They told him that he should be kind and respectful. They told him that he should learn from his mistake.
+

+They go near the dog. The dog is friendly. It wags its tail and licks their hands. Sam and Mia giggle.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Sam says. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog barks. A man comes to the dog. He is the dog's owner.
+
+"Hi, kids," the man says. "This is Max. He is my dog. He likes to play and run."
+
+"Hi, Max!" Mia says. "You are a nice dog."
+
+"Can you show us what Max can do?" Sam asks. "Can he do tricks?"
+
+"Sure," the man says. "Max is a useful dog. He can do many things. Watch this."
+
+The man takes a stick. He throws the stick far away. Max runs after the stick. He is very quick. He catches the stick in his mouth. He brings the stick back to the man.
+
+"Good boy, Max!" the man says. He gives Max a treat.
+
+"Wow, that is amazing!" Sam says. "Max is so smart and fast!"
+
+"Can we try?" Mia asks. "Can we throw the stick for Max?"
+
+"Of course," the man says. "But be careful. Don't throw the stick too hard or too far. Max might get tired or lost."
+
+Sam and Mia take turns to throw the stick for Max. Max runs and fetches the stick every time. He is happy. He likes to play with Sam and Mia. They have fun in the park. They are friends.

+
+The game starts and Anna runs to the ball. She sees a red player coming towards her. The red player is bigger and stronger than Anna. He seems angry and mean. He pushes Anna and takes the ball from her. Anna falls to the ground and hurts her knee. She cries and feels pain.
+
+The red player does not say sorry or help Anna. He runs away with the ball and scores a goal for his team. He laughs and cheers. The other red players also laugh and cheer. They do not care about Anna. They only care about winning.
+
+Anna's friends run to Anna and help her get up. They hug her and say nice things to her. They tell her she is a good player and a good friend. They tell her they are sorry and they do not like the red players. They tell her they want to play with her and make her happy.
+
+But Anna does not feel happy. She feels sad and angry. She does not want to play soccer anymore. She does not like the game or the park or the red players. She wants to go home and forget everything. She thinks soccer is a bad game and she does not want to be enthusiastic anymore.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and make castles. Ben had a big bucket and a shovel. Lily had a small bucket and a spoon. Ben said, "My castle is better than yours. It is bigger and stronger. Yours is small and weak." Lily felt sad. She did not like Ben's words.
+
+She looked at her castle. It was not very big, but it had a flag and a door. She liked her castle. She said, "My castle is not weak. It is nice and cozy. Yours is too big. It will fall down." Ben laughed. He did not believe Lily. He said, "No, it will not. It is the best castle in the park. Watch this." He took his shovel and hit Lily's castle. The sand flew everywhere. Lily's castle was gone.
+
+Lily was very angry. She cried. She took her spoon and threw it at Ben. The spoon hit Ben's head. Ben was surprised. He felt a bump on his head. He cried too. He said, "Ow, that hurt. Why did you do that?" Lily said, "You broke my castle. You are mean. I don't want to play with you." Ben said, "I'm sorry. I was just joking. I didn't mean to break your castle. Can we be friends again?" Lily said, "No, you can't. Go away."
+
+A lady who worked in the park saw what happened. She came over to Ben and Lily. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you crying? Why are you throwing things?" Ben and Lily looked at the lady. They felt embarrassed. They did not know what to say. They did not reply. They looked at the ground. The lady said, "You should not fight. You should share and be kind. You should say sorry and make up. Do you understand?" Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, we understand. We are sorry." The lady said, "Good. Now, why don't you help each other to make a new castle? You can use both buckets and both tools. It will be fun." Ben and Lily agreed. They said, "Okay. Thank you." They smiled at each other. They went to the sand and started to build a new castle. They were friends again.
+Lily loved to sing. She sang every day, in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang to her toys, to her mom, to her dad, and to her cat. She sang happy songs, sad songs, silly songs, and made-up songs.
+
+One day, Lily saw a vase on the table. It was big and blue and shiny. It had flowers in it. Lily thought the vase was pretty. She wanted to sing to the vase. She climbed on a chair and reached for the vase. But the vase was too heavy and too far. Lily lost her balance and fell. The vase fell too. It broke into many pieces. Lily cried.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Lily on the floor and the vase on the table. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You broke the vase. That was not nice. That was not careful. That was not reliable."
+
+Lily felt sorry. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I wanted to sing to the vase. I thought it was pretty. I didn't mean to break it."
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said, "I know, sweetie. I know you like to sing. But you have to be careful with things that are not yours. You have to be reliable and do what you are told. Singing is good, but not when you break things. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will be careful. I will be reliable. I will sing to you instead."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I love to hear you sing. You have a beautiful voice. Come on, let's clean up this mess and then we can sing together."
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to help their aunt in the kitchen. Their aunt was very kind and made them yummy food. One day, their aunt was making soup for lunch. She asked Tom and Lily to help her serve the soup to the table.
+
+Tom and Lily each took a big pot of soup and carried it carefully. But Tom wanted to be faster than Lily. He ran with his pot and did not look where he was going. He bumped into the chair and spilled the soup all over the floor. The soup was very hot and it burned his hand. He cried out loud.
+
+Lily heard Tom's cry and put down her pot. She ran to help him. She took him to the sink and ran cold water over his hand. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm here for you." Their aunt came and saw what happened. She was not angry, but she was sad. She said, "Tom, you should not run with hot soup. You could hurt yourself and others. You should be careful and slow."
+
+Tom felt sorry for what he did. He said, "I'm sorry, aunt. I wanted to be faster than Lily. I was not careful and slow." He looked at Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are a good sister. You helped me when I was hurt." Lily smiled and said, "I love you, Tom. You are a good brother. You can help me clean the floor." Their aunt smiled and said, "I love you both. You are good children. You can help me make more soup."
+
+Tom and Lily learned a lesson that day. They learned that being careful and slow is better than being fast and careless. They learned that helping each other is better than competing with each other. They learned that their aunt's soup was very smooth and tasty.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to read books. They had many books in their cabin, where they lived with their mom and dad. They read books about animals, cars, stars, and more.
+
+One day, they found a new book in their cabin. It was big and shiny, and had a picture of a dragon on the cover. They wanted to read it, but it had many hard words that they did not know.
+
+"Who gave us this book?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe mom or dad?" Tom said.
+
+They looked for their mom and dad, but they were not in the cabin. They were outside, working in the garden.
+
+"Let's try to read it anyway," Lily said. "Maybe we can guess some words."
+
+"OK," Tom said. "You start."
+
+Lily opened the book and looked at the first page. She saw a word that looked like "once". She knew that word, because it was in many stories.
+
+"Once," she said. "Once there was a dragon who lived in a cave."
+
+She looked at the next word, but it was too hard. She did not know what it meant.
+
+"Um," she said. "Once there was a dragon who lived in a cave and he was...very...big?"
+
+She looked at Tom, who nodded.
+
+"Yes, he was very big," he said. "And he was...very...green?"
+
+He looked at the book, but he did not know the next word either.
+
+"Maybe," Lily said. "And he was very green and he liked to...fly?"
+
+They looked at the book again, but they saw more hard words. They did not know how to read them.
+
+They felt sad. They wanted to read the book, but they could not.
+
+They closed the book and put it back on the shelf.
+
+"Maybe we can read it when we are older," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe," Lily said. "But we can still read our other books. They are fun too."
+
+They picked up their favorite books and sat on the couch. They read them aloud, and smiled.
+
+They were clever twins who liked to read books.
+Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the snow. They made a snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They named him Sam.
+
+"Sam is a good snowman," Lila said. "He is modest and kind. He does not brag or lie."
+
+"Yes, he is," Tom agreed. "He is our friend. We should give him a hug."
+
+They hugged Sam and smiled. They were happy.
+
+But then a big dog came. He saw Sam and ran to him. He barked and jumped. He bit Sam's nose and pulled his scarf. He knocked Sam down and made him fall apart.
+
+Lila and Tom were sad and scared. They cried and ran away. They left Sam in the snow.
+
+The dog was not modest or kind. He was mean and greedy. He did not care about Sam or Lila and Tom. He only wanted to have fun.
+
+He wagged his tail and licked his lips. He was happy.
+Tom and Anna wanted to have a picnic in the park. They packed some bread, cheese, apples and juice in a basket. They also brought a blanket and a ball to play with.
+
+They found a nice spot under a big tree and spread the blanket on the grass. They opened the basket and took out the food. They were very hungry and happy.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have a big apple for you," Anna said, holding an apple in her hand.
+
+"Thank you, Anna, you are very kind," Tom said, taking the apple and biting it.
+
+But as soon as he bit the apple, he made a face and spat it out. The apple was rotten and had worms inside. It was disgusting!
+
+"Yuck, Anna, this apple is bad! It has bugs in it!" Tom said, showing the apple to Anna.
+
+"Oh, no, Tom, I'm sorry! I didn't know! Let me see the other apples," Anna said, looking at the basket.
+
+But all the apples were rotten and had worms inside. They were all disgusting!
+
+"Who put these apples in our basket?" Tom asked, feeling angry and sad.
+
+"I don't know, Tom, maybe someone played a trick on us," Anna said, feeling sorry and scared.
+
+They looked around and saw a boy hiding behind a bush. He was laughing and holding a sign that said "I did it!"
+
+The boy had taken their good apples and replaced them with bad ones. He wanted to spoil their picnic and make them unhappy. He was very mean and rude.
+
+"Hey, you, stop laughing! That's not funny! That's mean!" Tom shouted, throwing the rotten apple at the boy.
+
+The apple hit the boy in the face and made him cry. He dropped the sign and ran away.
+
+Tom and Anna felt better. They threw away the bad apples and ate the bread and cheese. They drank the juice and played with the ball. They had a good picnic after all. They were very brave and smart.
+Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls with different clothes and hair. She likes to make them look great. She likes fashion.
+
+One day, Anna wakes up early. She sees the sun rise in the sky. She thinks it is a good day to play outside. She gets her dolls and puts them in a basket. She goes to the garden.
+
+In the garden, she sees her friend Lily. Lily also has dolls. They say hello and hug. They decide to play together. They make a fashion show for their dolls. They take turns to dress them and show them to each other.
+
+"Look at my doll, Anna. She has a pink dress and a hat. She is very pretty," Lily says.
+
+"Wow, Lily, your doll is great. I like her hat. Look at my doll, Lily. She has a blue skirt and a scarf. She is very cool," Anna says.
+
+They clap and smile. They have fun. They love their dolls and their fashion. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben like to make things with their toys. They have blocks, cars, dolls, and animals. They can make houses, roads, farms, and zoos. They have fun playing together.
+
+One day, they decide to make a big tower with their blocks. They want to see how high they can go. They stack the blocks one by one, carefully and slowly. They make the tower taller and taller. They are very proud of their tower.
+
+But then, something happens. The tower is too high. It reaches the ceiling. The ceiling is hard and flat. The tower cannot go any higher. The top block hits the ceiling and falls down. Then, all the other blocks fall down too. The tower is gone. The blocks are everywhere. Sara and Ben are sad.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees the mess and the sad faces. She hugs Sara and Ben and says, "It's okay. You can make another tower later. But now, it's time for lunch. I have something yummy for you. Come and see."
+
+She takes them to the kitchen and shows them what she made. She made sandwiches, fruit, and cookies. Sara and Ben smile. They love sandwiches, fruit, and cookies. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You make yummy food." They sit down and eat their lunch. They are happy again. They forget about the tower and the ceiling. They enjoy their food and their mom. They are a happy family.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have a big box of cars and trucks in Tom's room. They want to decorate them with stickers and paint.
+
+"Look, I have a red car. I will put a star sticker on it," Tom says.
+
+"I have a yellow truck. I will paint it blue," Mia says.
+
+They have fun decorating their cars and trucks. They make them look shiny and cool.
+
+Then they want to race them on the floor. They make a track with tape and books. They put their cars and trucks on the track.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Tom says.
+
+They push their cars and trucks on the track. They make vroom-vroom noises. They want to see who has the most speed.
+
+Tom's car is very fast. It zooms past Mia's truck. Tom is happy.
+
+Mia's truck is not very fast. It goes slow and wobbly. Mia is nervous.
+
+"Oh no, my truck is falling behind. I need more speed," Mia says.
+
+She pushes her truck harder. She tries to catch up with Tom's car.
+
+But then her truck hits a book. It flips over and slides off the track. Mia is sad.
+
+"Oops, I'm sorry, Mia. Are you okay?" Tom says.
+
+He stops his car and runs to Mia. He helps her pick up her truck.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. It was just a game. My truck is still pretty," Mia says.
+
+She smiles and shows him her blue paint.
+
+"You're right, Mia. Your truck is very pretty. And my car is very fast. We both did a good job decorating them," Tom says.
+
+He smiles and shows her his star sticker.
+
+They hug and laugh. They are still friends. They decide to play something else. They have fun with their cars and trucks.
+Lily and Max liked to help Mommy in the kitchen. They put their plates and cups in the dishwasher after they ate. Mommy said they were good helpers.
+
+One day, Mommy had a surprise for them. She brought a big box from the car. She opened it and showed them a purple cake. It had sprinkles and candles on it. Mommy said it was for Lily's birthday.
+
+Lily and Max were very happy. They clapped and hugged Mommy. They wanted to eat the cake right away. But Mommy said they had to wait for Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa to come.
+
+Lily had an idea. She suggested that they could play a game while they waited. She said they could pretend that the dishwasher was a spaceship. They could go inside and explore the stars and planets.
+
+Max liked the idea. He said they could wear their helmets and gloves. They ran to their room and got their toys. They came back and climbed into the dishwasher. They closed the door and made beep and zoom sounds.
+
+Mommy smiled and watched them. She was glad they had fun. She hoped they would not make a mess. She went to get the plates and forks for the cake. She wondered what they would see in their spaceship.
+Tim and Tom were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many cars, trucks, planes and trains that they could zoom and crash on the floor. One day, they saw a big box in the kitchen. It had a picture of a cow on it and the word "beef".
+
+"What is beef?" Tim asked.
+
+"I don't know, but it looks yummy," Tom said.
+
+They opened the box and found a lot of red meat inside. They decided to take some and pretend it was their toys.
+
+"Look, this is my car," Tim said, holding a piece of beef.
+
+"And this is my plane," Tom said, holding another piece.
+
+They started to throw the beef around the room, making loud noises and laughing. They did not see their mom coming in.
+
+"Tim! Tom! What are you doing?" their mom shouted. "You are destroying the beef! That was for dinner!"
+
+She was very angry and sad. She had bought the beef with a lot of money and had planned to make a nice meal for the family. Now it was all wasted and dirty.
+
+She took the beef away from the boys and threw it in the trash. She scolded them and sent them to their room. They had no toys, no dinner and no fun.
+
+They felt sorry and hungry. They wished they had not played with the beef. They lay on their beds, restless and bored. They learned a hard lesson that day.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big cage with a parrot inside. The parrot had bright feathers and a long tail. It could talk and say funny things.
+
+"Hello, hello!" the parrot said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They liked the parrot. They went closer to the cage and said hello back.
+
+The parrot smiled and said, "I have a game for you. I will say a word and you have to do it. Ready?"
+
+Lily and Ben said yes. They were curious.
+
+The parrot said, "Jump!"
+
+Lily and Ben jumped up and down. They laughed.
+
+The parrot said, "Clap!"
+
+Lily and Ben clapped their hands. They smiled.
+
+The parrot said, "Kick!"
+
+Lily and Ben kicked their feet. They giggled.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Ben kicked too hard and hit the cage. The cage shook and the door opened. The parrot flew out of the cage and flew away.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Lily and Ben said. They were scared.
+
+The parrot flew to a nearby tree and landed on a branch. It looked at Lily and Ben and said, "Bye-bye!"
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the cage and tried to close the door. They hoped the parrot would come back.
+
+But the parrot did not come back. It saw a man walking by with a bag of chips. The parrot liked chips. It flew to the man and snatched a chip from his hand.
+
+"Hey!" the man said. He was angry.
+
+The parrot ate the chip and said, "Yum, yum!"
+
+But the chip was spicy. The parrot did not like spicy. It made its mouth burn.
+
+"Ow, ow!" the parrot said. It was sad.
+
+The parrot wished it had stayed in the cage with Lily and Ben. They were nice and played fun games. The parrot wanted to go back.
+
+But it was too late. Lily and Ben had left the park. They had gone home with their mom. They were sorry they had lost the parrot.
+
+The parrot was alone and unhappy. It had learned a lesson. It should not kick the cage. It should not fly away. It should not eat spicy chips. It should be a good parrot.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They had a lot of fun with their toys and their friends. But then, the sun started to go down and the sky turned pink and purple.
+
+"Time to go home, kids," said Mom. "It's getting dark and we have to eat dinner."
+
+Lily and Max did not want to go home. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, Mom, no! We want to stay!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I know, but you have to listen to me. You can play again tomorrow. Come on, let's go."
+
+She took their hands and started to walk to the car. But Lily and Max were not happy. They pulled their hands away and ran back to the park. They hid behind a tree and hoped Mom would not see them.
+
+Mom looked around and saw that Lily and Max were gone. She was worried and angry. She called their names and looked for them. She could not find them. She was scared that something bad would happen to them.
+
+Lily and Max heard Mom calling them. They felt sorry for making her worry. They also felt tired from playing so much. They decided to come out of their hiding place and say sorry to Mom.
+
+They ran to Mom and hugged her. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We were naughty. We should have listened to you. We love you."
+
+Mom was relieved and happy. She hugged them back and said, "I love you too, kids. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to stop running away from me. It's not good. You have to stay with me."
+
+Lily and Max nodded and said, "We will, Mom. We will."
+
+They got in the car and went home. They ate dinner and brushed their teeth and went to bed. They dreamed of playing in the park again. But they also remembered to listen to Mom and stay with her. They knew she loved them and wanted them to be safe.
+Sara was shy. She did not like to talk to new people or go to loud places. She liked to stay at home and read books or draw pictures. But she had a big dream. She wanted to see the festival.
+
+The festival was once a year. It had many colors and sounds and smells. There were balloons and flags and flowers. There were drums and bells and whistles. There were cakes and candies and fruits. Sara wanted to see it all.
+
+One day, Sara's mom said they could go to the festival. Sara was happy and scared. She put on her best dress and shoes. She held her mom's hand tight. They walked to the park where the festival was.
+
+Sara saw many things. She saw clowns and dancers and singers. She saw animals and puppets and toys. She saw people laughing and smiling and having fun. She wanted to join them, but she was shy.
+
+Sara's mom said they could go on a ride. It was a big wheel that went round and round. It had seats that looked like cars and planes and boats. Sara liked the boat. She wanted to go on it. She let go of her mom's hand and ran to the boat.
+
+But Sara did not see the line. She did not see the other kids waiting for their turn. She did not see the man who ran the ride. She just saw the boat. She jumped on it and sat down.
+
+The man saw Sara. He was angry. He shouted at her. He said she had to get off. He said she had to wait. He said she had to pay. He said she was bad.
+
+Sara was scared. She did not understand. She did not know what to do. She started to cry. She wanted her mom. She looked for her mom. But she could not see her mom.
+
+The wheel started to move. It went faster and faster. It went higher and higher. Sara felt sick. She felt dizzy. She felt alone. She screamed for her mom. But her mom did not hear her. Her mom did not see her. Her mom was gone.
+Jill and Jack were playing in the park. They saw a big shiny jewel on the grass. Jill ran to pick it up, but Jack stopped her.
+
+"Wait, Jill, that is not a toy. That is a terrible jewel. It belongs to a bad witch. She will be angry if we take it," Jack said.
+
+"How do you know, Jack? It is so pretty. Maybe the witch lost it and we can help her find it," Jill said.
+
+"No, Jill, the witch does not want help. She wants to hurt people with her jewel. It makes them do bad things. I saw her once. She was scary and mean. She had a big black hat and a long nose. She flew on a stick and laughed like this: ha ha ha!" Jack said.
+
+Jill was scared. She did not want to see the witch or do bad things. She dropped the jewel and ran away with Jack. They found their mom and dad and told them what they saw.
+
+"Good job, Jill and Jack. You were very brave and smart. That was a terrible jewel indeed. The witch is very dangerous. We are proud of you for not touching it and for telling us. Let's go home and have some cookies," mom and dad said.
+
+Jill and Jack smiled. They were happy and safe. They did not want to play with the terrible jewel ever again. They wanted to play with their toys and their friends. They learned a good lesson that day.
+Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls and dinosaurs. They pretend the dinosaurs are alive and make noises.
+
+One day, they see a new slide in the park. It is very high and shiny. Tom and Mia want to try it. They leave their toys on the grass and run to the slide.
+
+But they do not see a big dog behind a tree. The dog is hungry and bored. He sees the toys on the grass. He thinks they are food. He runs to the toys and starts to bite them.
+
+Tom and Mia slide down the slide. They have fun. They laugh and clap. They do not hear the dog. They do not see their toys.
+
+Then, they hear a loud roar. It is not the dog. It is one of their dinosaurs. It is the biggest one. It is green and has sharp teeth. It is hidden in the box. The dog did not see it. The dinosaur is angry. It does not like the dog. It wants to protect the other toys.
+
+The dinosaur jumps out of the box. It scares the dog. The dog drops the toys and runs away. The dinosaur roars again. It warns the dog to stay away.
+
+Tom and Mia hear the roar. They look at the grass. They see their dinosaur and their toys. They are happy. They run to the dinosaur and hug it. They thank it for saving their toys. They pick up their toys and put them back in the box. They decide to play with the dinosaur more. They think it is brave and smart. They love their dinosaur.

+
+"Look, Anna, there are apples and bananas!" Ben says. He likes fruits. He points to a stall with baskets of fruits.
+

+
+"Can we have some, mom?" Ben asks. He looks at his mom with big eyes.
+
+"Sure, honey. Let's ask the seller how much they are." Mom says. She smiles and walks to the stall with Ben and Anna.
+
+"Hello, how are you?" The seller says. He is friendly and happy. He sees Ben and Anna and gives them a wink.
+
+"Hello, we are fine, thank you. How much are these fruits?" Mom says. She holds an apple and a banana.
+
+"They are one dollar each. They are fresh and sweet. Do you want them?" The seller says. He holds out his hand.
+
+"Yes, please. Here you go." Mom says. She gives him two dollars and takes the fruits.
+
+"Thank you very much. Enjoy your fruits. Have a nice day." The seller says. He puts the money in his pocket and waves goodbye.
+
+"Thank you. You too." Mom says. She gives the apple to Anna and the banana to Ben.
+
+"Thank you, mom. They look delicious." Anna says. She bites the apple and makes a crunch sound.
+
+"Thank you, mom. They smell good." Ben says. He peels the banana and takes a bite.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They eat their fruits and travel around the market with their mom and dad. They see many attractive things and have fun. They love to travel.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to play dress-up. She had many dresses, hats, and shoes in her closet. She liked to pretend she was a queen, a fairy, or a princess. One day, she found a cute crown in a box. It was shiny and had many jewels on it. She put it on her head and looked in the mirror. She felt very happy and proud.
+
+She ran to show her mom, who was in the kitchen. "Mom, look at me! I'm a queen!" she said. Her mom smiled and hugged her. "You look very pretty, Lily. Where did you find that crown?" she asked.
+
+Lily told her mom that she found it in a box in her closet. Her mom looked surprised and worried. "Lily, that crown is not yours. It belongs to your aunt. She lent it to me for a special party. She loves that crown very much. You have to give it back to me, okay?" she said.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want to give back the crown. She liked it too much. She shook her head and said, "No, mom. It's mine. I found it. I want to keep it."
+
+Her mom sighed and said, "Lily, that's not nice. You have to share and be honest. How would you feel if someone took your favorite toy without asking? You have to respect other people's things. Please, give me the crown. I promise I will let you wear it again when your aunt comes to visit. Can you do that for me?"
+
+Lily thought about what her mom said. She remembered how she felt when her brother took her doll and broke it. She felt sorry for her aunt. She did not want to make her sad. She nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I will give you the crown. I promise."
+
+Her mom smiled and thanked her. She took the crown and put it in a safe place. She said, "You are a good girl, Lily. I'm proud of you. You know what? You don't need a crown to be a queen. You are a queen in my heart. I love you."
+
+Lily hugged her mom and said, "I love you too, mom. You are the best mom in the world." They kissed and laughed. Lily learned that keeping promises and being kind are more important than having pretty things. She was happy and felt like a real queen.
+Anna likes to play with her figures. She has many figures of animals, people and cars. She puts them on the floor and makes stories with them. She likes to make them talk and move.
+
+One day, she plays with her figures with her friend Ben. Ben has a figure of a big dragon. He puts it near Anna's figures and says, "Roar! I am a dragon and I will eat you all!"
+
+Anna is scared. She does not like the dragon. She says, "No, Ben, no! The dragon is mean. He will hurt my figures. Please take him away!"
+
+Ben laughs. He says, "It is just a game, Anna. The dragon is not real. He is just a figure, like yours. He will not eat your figures. He just wants to play with them."
+
+Anna thinks. She looks at the dragon. He has green scales, yellow eyes and red wings. He is not mean. He is great. She says, "OK, Ben, OK. The dragon can play with my figures. But he has to be nice. He can be their friend, not their enemy."
+
+Ben smiles. He says, "OK, Anna, OK. The dragon will be nice. He will be their friend. He will help them and protect them. He will not roar. He will say hello."
+
+Anna and Ben put their figures together and make a new story. They have fun. They like their figures. They like their game. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They wanted to make a castle with sand.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make a tower!" Tom said. He put some sand in the bucket and turned it over. A tall sand tower came out.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that's a good tower!" Lily said. She clapped her hands. "Can I make one too?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, here is the shovel. You can make another tower next to mine." Tom gave Lily the shovel. They worked hard to make two towers.
+
+Then they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. It was very noisy. It came near the park. It had a big sign that said "Park Closed".
+
+"Oh no, what is that?" Tom asked. He was scared of the noise.
+
+"I don't know, Tom, but it looks bad." Lily said. She was scared too.
+
+The truck stopped near the sand pit. A man came out. He had a big hat and a big smile.
+
+"Hello, kids, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have to show you something." He said.
+
+"What do you have to show us?" Tom asked.
+
+"Come with me, I'll show you." The man said. He took them by the hand and led them to the truck.
+
+Tom and Lily saw a big surprise. Inside the truck, there was a huge castle. It was made of wood and plastic. It had many colors and shapes. It had slides and swings and tunnels.
+
+"This is your new castle, kids. It's a gift from the park. We are going to put it here, where the sand pit is. Do you like it?" The man asked.
+
+Tom and Lily were amazed. They forgot about the noise. They forgot about their sand castle. They smiled and nodded.
+
+"Yes, we like it! Thank you, mister!" They said.
+
+The man smiled too. He helped them climb into the truck. They played with the new castle. They had a lot of fun. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play together. Today, they want to go to the park with Mom. But first, they have to dress and use the toilet.
+
+Lily puts on her pink dress and her shoes. She goes to the toilet and flushes. She is a good girl. She waits for Tom in the hall.
+
+Tom puts on his blue shirt and his pants. He goes to the toilet and flushes. He is a good boy. He sees Lily in the hall.
+
+"Hi, Lily. Are you ready to go?" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, Tom. I am ready. Let's go!" Lily says.
+
+They hold hands and go to the door. Mom is there with her bag and her keys. She smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, my loves. You look very nice. Are you excited to go to the park?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We are excited. We want to see the ducks and the swings and the slide." Tom says.
+
+"Me too. I want to feed the ducks and push you on the swings and catch you on the slide." Lily says.
+
+"Okay, then. Let's go. But first, we have to put on our coats. It is cold outside." Mom says.
+
+She helps them put on their coats. They are warm and soft. They are not rough like the toilet paper. They hug Mom and say thank you.
+
+They go outside and get in the car. They buckle their seat belts. They are safe and happy. They are going to the park. They are going to have fun.
+Lily loved to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to watch her mom make coffee every morning. She saw her mom pour water into a big pot and put it on the fire. Then she saw her mom put some brown powder into a small basket and put it on top of the pot. Lily wanted to know what the brown powder was.
+
+"Mom, what is that?" she asked, pointing to the basket.
+
+"That is coffee, Lily. It is what I drink to wake up and feel good. Do you want to try some?" her mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She was curious about the coffee. She saw her mom take a cup and fill it with the hot water that came out of the pot. She smelled the coffee and it smelled good. Her mom added some milk and sugar to the cup and stirred it.
+
+"Here you go, Lily. Be careful, it is hot. Take a small sip and tell me what you think," her mom said, handing her the cup.
+
+Lily took the cup and blew on it to cool it down. She took a small sip and tasted the coffee. It was sweet and creamy and delicious. She liked it a lot. She smiled and said, "Mmm, this is yummy, mom. Thank you for letting me try it."
+
+Her mom smiled back and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it. But don't drink too much, or you will be too excited and not want to nap later. Coffee is for grown-ups, mostly. You can have some more when you are older."
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She gave her mom a hug and said, "I love you, mom. You make the best coffee."
+
+"I love you too, Lily. You are the best helper," her mom said. They finished their coffee and went to play.
+Ben likes to draw with ink. He has many colors of ink and a big paper. He draws a house, a tree, a sun and a cat. He is happy with his drawing.
+
+He shows his drawing to his mom. Mom smiles and says, "What a charming drawing, Ben! You are very good at drawing with ink. Can I hang it on the wall?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "Yes, please. I want to see it every day."
+
+Mom takes the drawing and a tape. She goes to the wall and tries to stick the drawing. But the tape does not work. The drawing falls down. The ink smears on the wall and on the floor.
+
+Mom gasps and says, "Oh no! The ink is everywhere. How can we clean this mess?"
+
+Ben frowns and says, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to make a mess. I just wanted to draw with ink."
+
+Mom hugs Ben and says, "It's okay, Ben. I know you didn't mean to make a mess. You just wanted to show me your charming drawing. And I love it. But we have to be careful with ink. It can stain and spill. Next time, let's use crayons or pencils. They are easier to clean."
+
+Ben nods and says, "Okay, mom. I will use crayons or pencils next time. Can we still hang my drawing on the wall?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Of course we can. Let's find a new tape and a new spot. And let's get a cloth and some water to clean the ink. Will you help me?"
+
+Ben smiles and says, "Yes, mom. I will help you. I love you, mom."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Ben."
+Tim and Mia like to play in the garden. They have a small pool with water and toys. They splash and laugh and have fun.
+
+One day, Tim has an idea. He says to Mia, "Let's make the pool bigger. We can use the faucet and the hose. Come on!"
+
+Mia nods and follows Tim. They find the faucet and the hose near the house. Tim turns the faucet and water comes out. He puts the hose in the pool and says, "Look! The pool is growing!"
+
+Mia claps and smiles. She says, "Yes, it is growing! More water, more fun!"
+
+But they do not see that the faucet is too open. The water is too much and too loud. It makes a big mess. It floods the garden and the path and the door.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes out. She sees the water and the pool and the hose and the faucet. She says, "Oh no! What are you doing? Turn off the faucet, quick!"
+
+Tim and Mia are scared. They did not mean to make a mess. They run to the faucet and try to turn it off. But it is hard and stuck. They push and pull and twist.
+
+Mom helps them. She turns the faucet off and stops the water. She says, "You are wet and dirty. And so is the garden. You have to clean up and dry up. And no more playing with the faucet and the hose. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Mia nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We are sorry. We just wanted to make the pool bigger."
+
+Mom sighs and says, "I know. But you have to be careful and ask before you use things. And you have to watch the water and the faucet. Water is good, but too much water is bad. It can make a mess and waste and trouble. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Mia nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will be careful and ask and watch. We will not make a mess again."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Good. Now, let's clean up and dry up. And then, you can play in the pool again. But only with the water that is already there. And not too loud. OK?"
+
+Tim and Mia say, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We love you, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Tim and Mia. Now, let's go."
+Sam likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them race and crash on the floor. Sometimes he pretends that the floor is a big stadium and the cars are the stars.
+
+One day, Sam's mom tells him that they have to move to a new house. She says that they have to sell some of their things to make space. She asks Sam to choose some of his cars that he does not want anymore. Sam feels sad. He loves all his cars. He does not want to sell them.
+
+Sam's mom sees that he is sad. She hugs him and says that he can keep some of his cars. She says that the new house will have a bigger room for him to play. She says that the new house is near a real stadium where he can watch real cars race. She says that the new house will be different, but also fun.
+
+Sam thinks about what his mom says. He decides to sell some of his cars that he does not play with much. He keeps his favorite cars that he plays with a lot. He hopes that the new house will be nice. He is curious about the real stadium. He wonders how fast the real cars can go. He feels a little less sad and a little more excited.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their bikes. One day, they see a big traffic on the road. Many cars and trucks are honking and moving slowly.
+
+"Look, Anna, so many cars!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, they are stuck. Maybe they are going somewhere fun," Anna says.
+
+They watch the traffic for a while. Then they see a big red truck with a ladder. It has a sign that says "Firefighters". The truck makes a loud siren sound and tries to pass the traffic.
+
+"Wow, Anna, look at that truck! It is so cool!" Ben says.
+
+"I know, Ben, it is. Maybe they are going to help someone," Anna says.
+
+They see the truck stop near a building. Some firefighters get out and climb the ladder. They have hoses and helmets. They spray water on the building. Smoke comes out of the windows.
+
+"Uh-oh, Anna, there is a fire in the building. That is bad," Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is. I hope everyone is safe," Anna says.
+
+They see some people come out of the building. They look scared and sad. Some of them have blankets and bags. They hug each other and talk to the firefighters.
+
+"Look, Anna, those people are out of the building. They are safe," Ben says.
+
+"That is good, Ben. I am glad they are safe," Anna says.
+
+They see a firefighter come down the ladder. He has a small cat in his arms. The cat is wet and dirty. He gives the cat to a girl who was in the building. The girl smiles and hugs the cat. She says "Thank you, thank you, you saved my cat!"
+
+"Look, Anna, the firefighter saved the cat. The girl is happy," Ben says.
+
+"That is very nice, Ben. The firefighter is a hero," Anna says.
+
+They clap their hands and cheer for the firefighter. The firefighter smiles and waves at them. He says "You are welcome, you are welcome, I am happy to help."
+
+Anna and Ben feel cheerful. They think the firefighter is very brave and kind. They want to be like him when they grow up. They say "Thank you, firefighter, thank you, you are awesome!"

+Lily liked fashion. She liked to wear pretty dresses and hats and shoes. She liked to look at magazines and books with pictures of fashion. She liked to play dress-up with her dolls and her friends.
+
+One day, Lily found a big box in her mom's closet. It had many old clothes and accessories that her mom did not wear anymore. Lily was very happy. She opened the box and saw many things that she liked. She saw a red dress, a blue scarf, a yellow hat, a green belt, and a purple necklace. She wanted to try them all.
+
+She put on the red dress and the blue scarf. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She felt like a princess. She said to herself, "I am so fashionable!"
+
+She put on the yellow hat and the green belt. She looked in the mirror and laughed. She felt like a clown. She said to herself, "I am so funny!"
+
+She put on the purple necklace and snapped it around her neck. She looked in the mirror and gasped. She felt something wrong. She said to herself, "I am so silly!"
+
+The necklace was too tight. It hurt her neck. She tried to take it off, but it was stuck. She started to cry. She was scared. She did not know what to do.
+
+She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, mom, help me! The necklace is too tight! It hurts! I can't take it off!"
+
+Her mom saw her and hugged her. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will help you. You are very brave. You did not mean to snap the necklace. It was an accident. Let me see."
+
+Her mom took a pair of scissors and cut the necklace. It fell to the floor. Lily felt better. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are very kind. I am sorry for snapping the necklace. It was very pretty."
+
+Her mom said, "It's okay, Lily. I am not mad. The necklace was old and broken. It was not very pretty. You are much prettier. You have a beautiful smile. And you have a good heart. You love fashion, but you also love me. That is what matters."
+Lisa and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a shiny ball in the grass. It was red and blue and very attractive.
+
+"Wow, look at this ball!" Lisa said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can I hold it?" Ben asked.
+
+"Okay, but you have to promise to give it back," Lisa said.
+
+"I promise," Ben said. He took the ball and threw it in the air. It flew very high and then disappeared.
+
+"Where did it go?" Lisa asked.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it went to the sky."
+
+Lisa was sad. She wanted her ball back. She started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lisa," Ben said. "I broke my promise. I didn't mean to lose the ball."
+
+He hugged Lisa and tried to make her feel better.
+
+"Maybe we can find another ball," he said. "Or we can play with something else."
+
+Lisa stopped crying. She was still sad, but she forgave Ben. He was her best friend.
+
+"Okay," she said. "But next time, don't throw the ball so high."
+
+They held hands and went to look for another toy. They hoped the ball would come back someday.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and a big window. Their mom had bought them a new curtain for their window. It was blue and had stars on it.
+
+One day, a new family moved in next door. They had a big truck and many boxes. Lily and Tom were nosy and wanted to see who they were. They climbed on their bed and peeked through the curtain.
+
+"Look, Tom, they have a dog!" Lily said. "It is brown and fluffy. Do you think it is friendly?"
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe we can ask them later. But be careful, they might see us." Tom said.
+
+But it was too late. The dog had seen them too. It barked loudly and ran to the fence. The new family looked up and saw Lily and Tom behind the curtain. They waved and smiled.
+
+"Hi, neighbors!" the dad said. "We are the Smiths. What are your names?"
+
+Lily and Tom felt shy and hid behind the curtain. They did not know what to say.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the new family and the dog. She opened the window and said hello.
+
+"Hello, we are the Jones. These are my twins, Lily and Tom. They are just curious about your dog. They love animals." she said.
+
+The mom of the new family said, "Oh, that's nice. Our dog is called Max. He is very friendly and loves to play. Maybe Lily and Tom can come over and meet him later."
+
+Lily and Tom peeked through the curtain again. They saw Max wagging his tail and licking the dad's face. They smiled and nodded. They wanted to meet Max and make new friends. They were glad their mom had bought them a new curtain. It helped them see the new family.
+Tom and Mia liked to play music. They had a drum, a flute, and a bell. They made sounds with them and followed a rhythm. Rhythm was when sounds came one after another in a pattern. They had fun making rhythms with their music.
+
+One day, they decided to perform for their friends. They wanted to show them their music and make them happy. They invited their friends to the backyard and set up their instruments. They were excited and nervous.
+
+"Are you ready, Mia?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, Tom. Let's do it!" Mia said.
+
+They started to play their music. They followed their rhythm and made loud and soft sounds. Their friends clapped and cheered. They liked their music.
+
+But then, a big dog came into the backyard. It barked and ran towards them. It wanted to play too. It knocked over the drum and the bell. It bit the flute and made it squeak. Tom and Mia were scared and stopped playing. Their friends were scared too. They ran away.
+
+Tom and Mia were sad. They wanted to perform, but the dog ruined it. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+"Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Mia." The dog said. It did not mean to scare them. It just wanted to join their music. It liked their rhythm too.
+
+"It's okay, dog. We forgive you." Tom and Mia said. They were brave and kind. They understood that the dog was not bad. It was just adventurous. It liked to explore and try new things.
+
+They decided to give the dog a chance. They fixed their instruments and invited the dog to play with them. They taught the dog how to follow their rhythm and make sounds. The dog learned quickly and had fun. They made a new friend.
+
+They performed again for their friends. They played their music with the dog. Their friends came back and watched. They were amazed and happy. They clapped and cheered louder. They liked their music more.
+
+Tom and Mia were proud. They performed well and made their friends happy. They also made a new friend and learned something new. They learned that being adventurous can be good. It can help you discover new things and make new friends. But they also learned that being adventurous can be bad. It can cause trouble and scare others. They learned to be careful and respectful when they are adventurous. They learned to balance their music and their adventure.

+
+Ben had fun playing with the ball and the other kids. He forgot about his hero toy and left it on the bench. He did not see a big dog that came and sniffed the toy. The dog liked the toy and grabbed it with its mouth. It ran away with the toy, making it squeak and break.
+
+Ben heard the noise and turned around. He saw the dog running away with his hero toy. He felt very sad and angry. He ran after the dog and shouted, "Stop! Give me back my hero toy! That's mine!" But the dog was too fast and did not listen.
+
+Ben's mom saw what happened and ran after Ben. She caught up with him and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I know you loved your hero toy. But you should have watched it better. You were not careful with it and you lost it. That's not good. You have to punish yourself for that. You have to say sorry and no more cartoons for today."
+
+Ben felt very sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was not careful with my hero toy. I lost it and I'm very sad. I will punish myself for that. No more cartoons for today. I will learn from my mistake and be more careful next time."
+
+Ben's mom kissed him and said, "I love you, Ben. You are a good boy and you can learn from your mistake. Maybe we can find another hero toy for you someday. But for now, let's go home and have some cookies and milk. That will make you feel better."

+
+They pull and tug on the avocado. It slips from their hands and rolls away.
+
+"Look, it's rolling!" Anna says. She runs after the avocado.
+
+"Me too!" Ben says. He runs after Anna.
+
+The avocado rolls faster and faster. It rolls down a hill. It rolls past a dog. It rolls into a pond.
+
+"Oh no, the avocado is gone!" Anna says. She stops at the edge of the pond.
+
+"Too bad, it looked yummy!" Ben says. He stops next to Anna.

+Lisa was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls in her crib. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was a pink bunny that she named Fluffy. She always hugged Fluffy when she was sad or scared.
+
+One day, Lisa's mom told her that they had a visitor. It was her cousin Max, who was three years old like Lisa. Max was loud and curious. He ran around the house, touching everything he saw. Lisa's mom asked Lisa to share her toys with Max, but Lisa did not want to.
+
+"Lisa, can I play with your dolls?" Max asked, looking at Lisa's crib.
+
+"No, they are mine. Go away!" Lisa said, holding Fluffy tightly.
+
+"But I want to see your bunny. He looks soft and cute. Please, let me hold him for a little bit." Max said, reaching for Fluffy.
+
+"No, no, no! He is mine! You can't have him!" Lisa shouted, pulling Fluffy away from Max.
+
+Lisa's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lisa and Max fighting over Fluffy. She was not happy.
+
+"Lisa, Max is your cousin and he is our guest. You should be nice to him and share your toys. Fluffy is not only yours, he is also his." She said, taking Fluffy from Lisa and giving him to Max.
+
+Lisa felt angry and sad. She did not want to share Fluffy. She thought Fluffy was only hers. She started to cry.
+
+"Mom, no! Fluffy is mine! I love him! He loves me! He doesn't love Max! Give him back to me!" She sobbed, reaching for Fluffy.
+
+Max looked at Fluffy and then at Lisa. He saw that Lisa was very upset. He felt sorry for her. He did not want to make her cry. He decided to be kind.
+
+"Lisa, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to take your bunny. He is yours. You can have him back. Here, take him." He said, handing Fluffy to Lisa.
+
+Lisa stopped crying and took Fluffy. She hugged him and felt better. She looked at Max and saw that he was smiling. He was not so bad after all. He was just curious. She decided to be brave.
+
+"Thank you, Max. You are nice. Do you want to play with my other dolls? I have a bear and a cat and a horse. You can choose one." She said, pointing to her crib.
+
+Max nodded and smiled. He liked animals. He chose the horse and held it. He and Lisa started to play together. They had fun.

+Lisa's mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of Lisa and Max. They learned to share and be friends. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She said, "You are both very good. I love you."
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to explore new places. One day, they went with their mom and dad to a big temple. The temple had many rooms with statues, paintings and books. Ben and Lily wanted to see everything, but their mom and dad said they had to stay close and be quiet.
+
+In one room, they saw a big statue of a man with a long beard and a hat. He looked very serious and wise. Ben and Lily wondered what he was thinking. They saw a sign that said his name was Buddha. "Who is Buddha?" Ben asked his mom.
+
+"Buddha was a teacher who taught people how to be kind and peaceful," his mom said. "He also taught people how to meditate, which means to sit still and rest your mind."
+
+"Can we meditate too?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, if you want to," his mom said. "But you have to be very calm and quiet. Do you think you can do that?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They wanted to try something new. They followed their mom to a corner of the room, where there were some cushions on the floor. They sat down on the cushions and crossed their legs. Their mom told them to close their eyes and breathe slowly. She said they could think of something happy or peaceful, like a flower or a star.
+
+Ben and Lily tried to do what their mom said, but it was hard. They heard noises from outside, like cars and birds and people. They felt itchy and bored. They wanted to open their eyes and talk and play. They wondered how long they had to meditate.
+
+After a few minutes, their dad came to join them. He saw that Ben and Lily were not very happy. He smiled and whispered to them. "Do you want to see something cool?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded eagerly. They opened their eyes and followed their dad. He took them to another room, where there were many shelves with colorful toys and games. The toys and games were very organized, with labels and numbers. Ben and Lily saw cars, dolls, puzzles, books and more. They were amazed and excited.
+
+"This is the children's library," their dad said. "It's a place where kids can borrow toys and games and learn new things. Do you want to try some?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben and Lily said. They ran to the shelves and picked up some toys and games. They thanked their dad and found a table to play. They had so much fun that they forgot about the time.
+
+Their mom came to find them after a while. She saw that they were happy and busy. She smiled and said, "I'm glad you found something you like. But we have to go soon. Are you ready?"
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They wanted to stay longer, but they also knew they had to listen to their mom. They put the toys and games back on the shelves, where they belonged. They said goodbye to the children's library and followed their mom and dad out of the temple.
+
+They had learned a lot that day. They had learned about Buddha and meditation, and about toys and games. They had learned to be quiet and calm, and to be organized and respectful. They had learned to explore and enjoy new things. They were tired, but happy. They rested their heads on their mom and dad's shoulders as they drove home. They dreamed of the temple and the children's library. They hoped to come back again someday.
+Anna and Ben are going on a big trip with Mom and Dad. They are very excited to see new things and meet new people. They have to pack their bags and bring their passports. A passport is a small book with their names and pictures that tells who they are and where they are from.
+
+The night before the trip, Anna and Ben cannot sleep. They want to see their passports and imagine where they will go. They sneak out of their beds and go to Mom and Dad's room. They see their passports on the dresser. They decide to peek at them.
+
+"Look, this is mine!" Anna says, holding her passport. "It has a pink cover and a flower sticker. And this is my picture. I look so pretty!"
+
+"Wow, that's nice!" Ben says, taking his passport. "Mine has a blue cover and a star sticker. And this is my picture. I look so brave!"
+
+They open their passports and see the pages inside. They have stamps and words from different places. They try to read them, but they are too hard.
+
+"What does this say?" Anna asks, pointing at a stamp.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says, shrugging. "Maybe it says 'hello' or 'thank you' or 'I love you'."
+
+They giggle and make up stories about the places they have been and the places they will go. They are having so much fun that they do not hear Mom and Dad coming.
+
+"Hey, what are you two doing?" Mom asks, turning on the light.
+
+Anna and Ben drop their passports and look at Mom and Dad with big eyes. They feel scared and sorry.
+
+"We were just peeking at our passports," Anna says, in a small voice.
+
+"We wanted to see where we are going," Ben says, in a smaller voice.
+
+Mom and Dad smile and hug them. They are not angry, they are happy.
+
+"We understand, you are curious and excited," Mom says, kissing their heads. "But you have to be careful with your passports. They are very important and you cannot lose them or damage them."
+
+"And you have to respect our privacy," Dad says, rubbing their backs. "You cannot go into our room without asking. That is not polite or loyal."
+
+Anna and Ben nod and say they are sorry. They promise to be good and not peek at their passports again. They give their passports back to Mom and Dad and go back to their beds.
+
+Mom and Dad tuck them in and tell them they love them. They say they are proud of them and they are looking forward to the trip. They say good night and turn off the light.
+
+Anna and Ben close their eyes and dream of their big adventure. They are happy and loyal. They are ready to go.
+Ben and Mia were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and find shells and stones. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs in the water.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a big shell!" Mia said, holding up a shiny pink shell. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Wow, Mia, that is a nice shell!" Ben said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Mia gave Ben the shell. He looked at it and smiled. Then he felt something pinch his finger. He dropped the shell and cried out.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Something bit me!" Ben said, rubbing his finger.
+
+Mia picked up the shell and saw a small creature inside. It had a hard body, eight legs and two claws. It was a hermit crab.
+
+"Ben, it is a crab! It pinched you!" Mia said. "Are you okay?"
+
+Ben nodded, but he was still sad. He did not like the crab. He thought it was mean and different.
+
+"Let's go find another shell, Ben," Mia said. "Maybe we can find one with a pearl inside."
+
+They walked along the beach, looking for more shells. They did not see the big shadow in the water. It was a shark. It was hungry and curious. It saw the children and swam closer.
+
+"Ben, Mia, come here!" their mom called from the shore. "It is time to go home!"
+
+Ben and Mia heard their mom and ran to her. They did not see the shark. The shark saw them and turned away. It did not like the children. It thought they were loud and different.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy stars. They had many stars of different colors and sizes. They pretended that the stars were in the sky, and that they could make their own universe.
+
+One day, they decided to make a big universe on the floor of their room. They took all their stars and put them in a big pile. Then they counted to three and threw the stars in the air. The stars fell down and scattered all over the floor. It looked like a beautiful universe.
+
+"Wow, look at our universe!" Tom said. "It is so bright and pretty!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Lily agreed. "Can we play with it some more?"
+
+They ran around the room, picking up stars and throwing them again. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, their mom came in. She saw the mess on the floor and frowned. She did not think the stars looked like a beautiful universe. She thought they looked like a dirty mess.
+
+"Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why did you scatter your stars all over the floor? Don't you know how to clean up after yourselves?"
+
+Tom and Lily stopped playing. They looked at their mom and felt sorry. They did not mean to make a mess. They just wanted to play.
+
+"Sorry, mom," they said. "We were making a universe with our stars. We like our stars."
+
+Mom sighed. She knew they liked their stars, but she also wanted them to learn to be tidy. She decided to help them clean up, but also to teach them a lesson.
+
+"Okay, I understand," she said. "But you know, a real universe is not just stars. It also has planets, and moons, and comets, and asteroids. And sometimes, those things can crash into each other and make a big boom. Do you know what that is called?"
+
+Tom and Lily shook their heads. They did not know.
+
+"That is called a meteor shower," mom said. "And it can be very dangerous for the stars and the planets. Do you want to see what a meteor shower looks like?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were curious.
+
+Mom smiled. She had an idea. She took a broom and a dustpan. She swept up some of the stars from the floor and put them in the dustpan. Then she lifted the dustpan and said, "Watch out, here comes a meteor shower!"
+
+She tilted the dustpan and let the stars fall down again. They scattered all over the floor, making a loud noise. Tom and Lily gasped. They saw their stars flying and crashing. They did not like it.
+
+"Mom, stop!" they cried. "You are hurting our stars! You are making our universe dirty!"
+
+Mom stopped. She put down the broom and the dustpan. She looked at Tom and Lily and said, "Now you know how I feel when you scatter your stars all over the floor. You are hurting my floor and making my room dirty. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They felt bad for their mom and for their stars. They said, "Sorry, mom. We will not scatter our stars anymore. We will clean up our universe."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. I love you and I love your stars. But I also love a clean room. Can you help me put your stars back in their box?"
+
+Tom and Lily said, "Yes, mom. We can help you." They picked up their stars and put them back in their box. They also said sorry to their stars for making them fly and crash. They promised to be more careful with their universe.
+
+Mom was happy. She praised them for being good and helpful. She also said, "You know, you can still play with your stars and make a universe. But you don't have to scatter them all over the floor. You can use a big sheet or a blanket and spread it on the floor. Then you can put your stars on it and make a nice and neat universe. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom and Lily liked the idea. They said, "That sounds great, mom. Can we try it tomorrow?"
+
+Mom said, "Sure, you can try it tomorrow. But now, it is time for bed. Come on, let's go brush your teeth and put on your pajamas."
+
+Tom and Lily followed their mom. They were tired from playing with their stars. They were also happy that they learned something new and that they made their mom happy. They said good night to their stars and to their universe. They dreamed of bright and pretty stars.
+Lily and her mom went to a big hotel for a holiday. Lily liked the hotel. It had a big pool, a nice garden and many toys. But Lily was shy. She did not talk to other kids. She only played with her mom.
+
+One day, Lily saw a boy with a red hat. He was playing with a puzzle. Lily liked puzzles. She wanted to play with him. But she was shy. She did not say hello. She only watched him from far.
+
+The boy saw Lily. He smiled at her. He said, "Hi, I am Tom. Do you want to play with me?" Lily did not answer. She was shy. She hid behind her mom.
+
+Tom did not give up. He walked to Lily and her mom. He said, "This is a fun puzzle. It has many animals. Look, this is a lion. And this is a monkey. Do you like animals?" Lily nodded. She liked animals. But she was shy. She did not say anything.
+
+Tom said, "I have a secret. Do you want to know?" Lily was curious. She looked at him. Tom said, "I have a key. It can unlock a special door. Do you want to see?" Lily nodded. She wanted to see. But she was shy. She did not say anything.
+
+Tom said, "Come with me. But we have to be quiet. It is a secret." He took Lily's hand. He led her to a door. He said, "This is the door. It is in the hotel. But it is not a normal door. It is a magic door. It can take us to a different place. Do you want to go?" Lily nodded. She wanted to go. But she was shy. She did not say anything.
+
+Tom put the key in the lock. He turned it. The door opened. He said, "Let's go." He pulled Lily inside. Lily followed him. She was shy. But she was also brave. She wanted to see the magic place. She wanted to play with Tom. She wanted to be his friend.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play pretend. Today, they want to be superheroes. They have costumes. Tom has a red cape and a mask. Mia has a blue dress and a star. They run and jump in the yard.
+
+"Look at me, I can fly!" Tom says. He swings his cape and leaps off the slide.
+
+"Be careful, Tom!" Mia says. She hopes he does not get hurt.
+
+But Tom is careless. He does not see the rock. He trips and falls. He scrapes his knee and his cape rips. He cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. He holds his knee and his cape.
+
+Mia runs to him. She hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?"
+
+Tom nods. He sniffles and says, "I'm okay. But my costume is broken. I can't be a superhero anymore."
+
+Mia smiles and says, "You can still be a superhero, Tom. You don't need a costume. You just need a brave heart. And you have that. You are my hero, Tom."
+
+Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, Mia. You are my hero, too. You are very kind."
+
+They hug and say, "We are superheroes, Mia and Tom!"
+
+They go inside and ask for a band-aid and a snack. They are happy. They are friends. They are superheroes.
+Ben and Lily are playing with blocks in the living room. They are building a big tower with different colors. Ben likes to put the blue blocks on top, and Lily likes to put the yellow blocks on top.
+
+"Ben, can I put a yellow block on the tower?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, Lily, you can't. The tower is mine, and I want it to be blue," Ben says.
+
+"But that's not fair, Ben. We are sharing the blocks, and I like yellow. Why can't we have both colors on the tower?" Lily says.
+
+Ben does not answer. He is busy looking for more blue blocks. He does not see Lily standing up and walking to the tower. She reaches for a yellow block and tries to put it on the tower. But the tower is too high and wobbly. It falls down with a loud crash. The blocks scatter all over the floor.
+
+"Look what you did, Lily! You ruined my tower!" Ben shouts.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I just wanted to make it pretty. I didn't mean to make it fall," Lily says.
+
+Ben and Lily look at the mess. They feel sad and angry. They don't want to play with each other anymore. They sit on opposite sides of the room and pout.
+
+Mom comes in and sees the blocks. She sees Ben and Lily's faces. She knows they had a fight.
+
+"What happened here, kids?" Mom asks.
+
+Ben and Lily tell Mom their story. They each say it was the other's fault. They each say it was not fair.
+
+Mom listens to them. She nods and smiles. She has an idea.
+
+"Why don't we try to build the tower again, but this time, we can take turns putting the blocks on top. Ben can put a blue block, then Lily can put a yellow block, then Ben can put a blue block, and so on. That way, the tower will have both colors, and it will be fair for both of you. What do you think?" Mom says.
+
+Ben and Lily think about it. They like Mom's idea. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They start to pick up the blocks and build the tower again. They take turns and share. They have fun. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She is proud of them. She gives them a kiss and a hug. She tells them they are good kids.
+Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a basket for her books. She put each toy in the right place and made sure they were neat and tidy.
+
+One day, her friend Max came to play. He saw Lily's toys and wanted to try them. He took a doll from the big box and a car from the small box. He made them talk to each other.
+
+"Hello, I am a doll. You are a car. Do you want to be friends?" he said.
+
+"Hello, I am a car. You are a doll. You are very beautiful. I like your dress and your hair," he said.
+
+Lily heard Max and ran to him. She was not happy. She did not like him mixing her toys.
+
+"Max, what are you doing? You are making a mess. You have to put the toys back where they belong. Dolls go in the big box and cars go in the small box. That is how I organize them," she said.
+
+Max looked at Lily and shrugged. He did not understand why she was angry. He thought the toys were fun and he liked to make them talk.
+
+"But Lily, they are just toys. They can be friends. They do not care about boxes. They care about having fun. And you are my friend too. Can we play together?" he said.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She liked Max and she liked to play with him. But she also liked to organize her toys and keep them neat and tidy. She did not know what to do.
+
+Then she had an idea. She smiled and said, "OK, Max, we can play together. But we have to make a new rule. We can take any toy we want, but we have to put a ribbon around its waist. That way, we will know which toys we are playing with and we can put them back in the right box when we are done. Do you like that?"
+
+Max nodded and smiled. He thought that was a good idea. He liked ribbons and he liked colors. He said, "Yes, Lily, I like that. That sounds fun. Let's do that."
+
+Lily and Max hugged and went to find some ribbons. They chose different colors and tied them around the toys' waists. They made them talk and play and laugh. They had a lot of fun and they did not make a mess. They organized their toys and their play. They were happy.
+Lily loved to bake with her mom. They made cakes, cookies, and pies for their family and friends. Lily was very intelligent and learned how to measure, mix, and decorate. She also liked to taste the yummy treats.
+
+One day, Lily's mom had to go to the store and left Lily at home with her dad. Lily wanted to bake something for her mom as a surprise. She remembered that her mom liked tea and lemon cake. She found a recipe book and looked for the lemon cake. She saw a picture of a yellow cake with white frosting and lemon slices.
+
+Lily got a big bowl and put in some flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. She did not know how much to use, but she thought it did not matter. She also squeezed some lemons and poured the juice in the bowl. She stirred everything with a spoon and poured the batter in a pan. She put the pan in the oven and turned it on. She did not know how long to bake it, but she thought it did not matter.
+
+Lily waited for the cake to be done. She smelled something burning and saw smoke coming out of the oven. She ran to the oven and opened it. She saw a black and hard cake that looked nothing like the picture. She felt sad and scared. She did not know what to do.
+
+Lily's dad heard the noise and came to the kitchen. He saw the mess and the smoke. He turned off the oven and took out the cake. He asked Lily what happened. Lily told him that she wanted to bake a lemon cake for her mom, but she did not follow the recipe. She said she was sorry and started to cry.
+
+Lily's dad hugged her and said it was okay. He said he was proud of her for trying to do something nice for her mom, but he also said that baking was not easy and that she needed to follow the instructions and ask for help. He said that being intelligent meant learning from mistakes and not giving up. He said they could make another cake together and have tea with her mom when she came back. Lily smiled and said she loved her dad. They cleaned up the kitchen and got ready to bake again.
+Lily and Tom went to the sea with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish and shells and crabs. They were happy.
+
+But then Lily saw something big and brown and slimy on the shore. It looked like a giant worm. She was scared and curious. She went closer to see what it was.
+
+"Tom, look at this!" she called to her brother. "What is it?"
+
+Tom ran to join her. He looked at the thing and made a face. He knew what it was. It was a sea cucumber. He had seen one in a book.
+
+"It's a sea cucumber, Lily. It's an animal that lives in the sea. But it's not a worm. It's disgusting."
+
+He poked it with a stick. The sea cucumber squirted out some white stuff. Lily and Tom screamed. They thought it was poop. They ran away from the sea cucumber. They did not want to touch it.
+
+Mom and Dad heard them scream. They came to see what was wrong. They saw the sea cucumber and the white stuff. They laughed.
+
+"Don't worry, kids. It's not poop. It's a defense mechanism. The sea cucumber does that to scare away predators. It's harmless. But it is disgusting. Let's leave it alone and go back to our spot."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They followed Mom and Dad. They did not want to see any more sea cucumbers. They preferred the fish and shells and crabs. They were happy again.
+Lila and Ben were friends who lived in a big house with a pool. They liked to swim and play in the water every day in summer. They had many toys and games and clothes. They were rich and happy.
+
+One day, a new girl came to their school. Her name was Mia. She lived in a small house with no pool. She had few toys and games and clothes. She was not rich, but she was kind and smart.
+
+Lila and Ben did not want to be friends with Mia. They thought she was boring and poor. They did not talk to her or share with her or invite her to their house. They made fun of her and laughed at her.
+
+Mia felt sad and lonely. She wished she had friends who liked her for who she was, not for what she had. She tried to be nice to Lila and Ben, but they ignored her or were mean to her.
+
+One day, it rained and there was a big storm. The water in the pool overflowed and flooded the big house. Lila and Ben's toys and games and clothes were ruined. They had to stay in a hotel until their house was fixed. They were sad and angry.
+
+Mia's house was not flooded. She had a roof and a bed and a book. She was not sad or angry. She was grateful for what she had.
+
+She decided to go to the hotel and visit Lila and Ben. She brought them some cookies and a card. She said she was sorry for their loss and wanted to be their friend.
+
+Lila and Ben were surprised and ashamed. They realized they had been wrong and rude. They thanked Mia and apologized to her. They asked her to stay and play with them.
+
+Mia smiled and stayed. She shared her cookies and her book. They played and talked and laughed. They became friends.
+
+Lila and Ben learned a lesson. They learned that being rich is not about having things, but about having friends. They learned that being kind is better than being mean. They learned that they should not judge people by what they have, but by who they are. They learned that summer is more fun when you share it with others.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their big building. They lived on the top floor with their mom and dad. Sometimes they took the elevator to go down and see the park or the shops. The elevator was a big box with buttons and doors that moved up and down.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben wanted to play a game. They decided to see who could get to the park first. They ran to the elevator and pushed the buttons. Anna got in the elevator and Ben stayed outside. They said "Ready, set, go!" and the doors closed.
+
+Anna pushed the button for the ground floor and waited. She thought she would win the game. She did not know that Ben had a plan. He ran to the stairs and started to go down. He wanted to surprise Anna and get to the park before her.
+
+But Ben did not know that the stairs were slippery and wet. He slipped and fell down the stairs. He hurt his head and his leg. He cried and cried. No one heard him. He was alone and scared.
+
+Anna arrived at the ground floor and looked for Ben. She did not see him. She thought he was hiding. She ran to the park and looked for him. She did not find him. She was confused and worried. She ran back to the elevator and pushed the button for the top floor. She wanted to tell mom and dad.
+
+But the elevator did not work. It was stuck. Anna pushed the buttons and shouted. No one answered. She was alone and scared.
+
+Anna and Ben were both in trouble. They wished they had not played the game. They wished they had stayed together. They learned a lesson. They learned that playing games is fun, but being safe and smart is more important. They learned that they should always listen to mom and dad and not go alone. They learned that they loved each other and needed each other. They hoped someone would find them soon. They hoped they would see each other again. They were not glad. They were sad.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big tree with red fruits. They want to try them.
+
+"Mom, can we have some fruits?" Lila asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. They might be bitter," mom says.
+
+Lila and Ben run to the tree. They pick some fruits and put them in their hands. They smell them. They smell sweet.
+
+"Yum, they look good," Ben says.
+
+He takes a big bite. He makes a funny face. He spits out the fruit.
+
+"Yuck, this is bitter!" he says.
+
+Lila laughs. She takes a small bite. She also makes a funny face. She spits out the fruit.
+
+"Yuck, this is bitter too!" she says.
+
+They throw away the fruits. They run back to mom.
+
+"Mom, the fruits are bitter. We don't like them," they say.
+
+Mom hugs them. She gives them some water.
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves. Those are not good fruits to eat. They are for the birds. Next time, we can find some sweet fruits, okay?" she says.
+
+Lila and Ben nod. They drink some water. They feel better.
+
+They play in the park some more. They forget about the bitter fruits. They have fun.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. One day, they find a new car in the park. It is black and shiny, and it has a big red button on the side.
+
+"Wow, look at this car!" Tom says. "It is so cool and mysterious. I wonder what it does."
+
+"Maybe it can zoom very fast," Mia says. "Let's try it."
+
+Tom and Mia get inside the car. They buckle their seat belts. Tom pushes the red button. The car makes a loud noise and starts to move.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Tom and Mia shout. "This is fun!"
+
+The car goes faster and faster. It zooms past the trees, the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. Tom and Mia laugh and clap their hands.
+
+But then, the car does not stop. It zooms out of the park, onto the street, and into the traffic. Tom and Mia get scared. They scream and cry.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Tom and Mia beg. "We want to get out!"
+
+But the car does not listen. It zooms past the cars, the buses, the bikes, and the people. It zooms towards a big red light.
+
+"Crash!" The car hits a big truck. The car breaks into pieces. Tom and Mia get hurt. They bleed and hurt. They cry and cry.
+
+The end.
+Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play near the old mill. The mill had a big wheel that turned the water and made a loud noise. Sara and Tom liked to count the spokes on the wheel as it spun around.
+
+One day, they saw a man with a bag of coins near the mill. He looked angry and mean. He hid the bag under a rock and went away. Sara and Tom were curious and wanted to see the coins.
+
+They ran to the rock and lifted it. They saw the bag and opened it. They saw many shiny coins inside. They were amazed and excited.
+
+"Wow, look at all these coins!" Sara said. "They are brilliant!"
+
+"Let's count them!" Tom said. "One, two, three, four, five..."
+
+They started to count the coins, but they did not hear the man coming back. He saw them with his bag and shouted.
+
+"Hey, you little thieves! Give me back my coins!"
+
+He ran towards them and grabbed the bag. He pushed Sara and Tom away and ran off with his coins.
+
+Sara and Tom were scared and hurt. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that it is wrong to take things that do not belong to them. They also learned that coins are not as important as friends. They decided to never go near the mill again. They went home and told their parents what happened. Their parents were glad that they were safe and sorry that they were sad. They gave them hugs and kisses and told them that they loved them. Sara and Tom felt better and thanked their parents. They were still friends and played together, but they found a new place to play and count.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play hide and seek in the park. One day, they saw some men in uniforms. They had guns and badges. They looked angry and scary.
+
+Tom and Sam did not know what the men were doing. They were ignorant. They thought the men were playing too. They wanted to join them. They ran towards the men and shouted, "We want to play hide and seek with you!"
+
+The men did not like that. They did not want to play. They were looking for bad people. They thought Tom and Sam were bad people. They shouted, "Stop! Don't move! Put your hands up!"
+
+Tom and Sam did not understand. They did not stop. They did not put their hands up. They thought the men were hiding. They tried to find them. They ran behind a tree.
+
+The men did not like that. They thought Tom and Sam were trying to escape. They were angry and scared. They shot their guns at the tree. They hit Tom and Sam. Tom and Sam fell down. They did not get up. They did not play anymore. They were dead.
+
+The men were sad and sorry. They made a mistake. They did not know Tom and Sam were just children. They did not know they were ignorant. They wished they had not shot them. But it was too late. They could not bring them back. They could not play with them. They had a bad ending.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to read books. They had many books on their bookshelf in their room. But one day, they had a problem. Some of their books were missing.
+
+"Where are our books?" Sara asked Ben. "Did you take them?"
+
+"No, I did not take them," Ben said. "Did you?"
+
+"No, I did not take them either," Sara said. "Maybe Mom or Dad took them."
+
+They went to find Mom and Dad. They looked troubled.
+
+"Mom, Dad, where are our books?" Sara and Ben asked. "We can't find them on our bookshelf."
+
+Mom and Dad smiled. They had a surprise for them.
+
+"We have your books, Sara and Ben," Mom said. "We wanted to discuss something with you."
+
+"What is it, Mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"We are going to move to a new house soon," Dad said. "We packed your books in a box so we can take them with us."
+
+Sara and Ben were surprised. They did not know they were going to move.
+
+"Why are we going to move, Dad?" Ben asked.
+
+"Because Dad got a new job in another city," Mom said. "We think you will like the new house. It has a bigger room for you and a bigger bookshelf for your books."
+
+Sara and Ben felt a little sad. They liked their old house and their old friends. But they also felt a little excited. They wondered what the new house and the new city would be like.
+
+"Can we see the new house, Mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Yes, we can show you some pictures of it," Mom said. "And we can also read some of your books together. We know you love your books."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They hugged Mom and Dad. They decided to be brave and happy about the move. They hoped they would find new friends and new books in the new place.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big sack in the grass. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Maybe it is a toy," Tom says.
+
+"Maybe it is a cake," Mia says.
+
+They open the sack. But it is not a toy or a cake. It is a tiger! The tiger is angry. It roars and jumps out of the sack.
+
+"Run!" Tom and Mia shout. They run away from the tiger. The tiger chases them.
+
+They see a dark cave. They run into the cave. They hope the tiger will not find them.
+
+"Are you OK?" Tom asks Mia.
+
+"I am scared," Mia says.
+
+"Me too," Tom says.
+
+They hug each other. They wait for the tiger to go away. They hope someone will help them.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play and laugh together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it.
+
+"Can I go first?" Tom asks Lily.
+
+"OK, but you have to tell me a joke first," Lily says. She likes jokes.
+
+Tom thinks hard. He wants to tell a good joke. He says, "Why did the chicken cross the road?"
+
+Lily smiles. She knows this joke. She says, "To get to the other side!"
+
+Tom shakes his head. He says, "No, to request a sandwich!"
+
+Lily frowns. She does not think that is funny. She says, "That is not a joke. That is silly."
+
+Tom says, "Yes, it is a joke. It is a smart joke. You don't get it."
+
+Lily says, "No, it is not. It is a bad joke. You are not smart."
+
+Tom and Lily start to argue. They forget about the slide. Their moms hear them and come over.
+
+"What is going on?" Tom's mom asks.
+
+"They are fighting over a joke," Lily's mom says.
+
+"A joke?" Tom's mom says. "What joke?"
+
+Tom and Lily tell their moms the joke. Their moms look at each other and laugh.
+
+"That is a funny joke," Tom's mom says.
+
+"It is a clever joke," Lily's mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily are confused. They don't understand why their moms like the joke. They look at each other and shrug.
+
+"Can we go on the slide now?" Tom asks Lily.
+
+"OK, let's go," Lily says.
+
+They run to the slide and take turns. They have fun and forget about the joke. They are friends again.
+Sara and Tom like to travel. They have a big car with four wheels and a roof. They put their bags and toys in the car and go to different places. Sometimes they go to the park, sometimes they go to the zoo, sometimes they go to the lake.
+
+One day, they travel to a big castle. It is very old and has many rooms and windows. Sara and Tom want to see the queen. The queen lives in the castle and wears a crown and a dress. She is very nice and likes to talk to people.
+
+Sara and Tom walk in the castle and look at the paintings and the furniture. They see a clear glass door. They open it and go inside. They see a big bed with a quilt and pillows. They see a mirror and a dresser. They see a closet with many clothes and shoes. They see a small table with a tea set and a cake.
+
+They hear a voice. It is the queen. She is coming to the room. Sara and Tom are scared. They hide under the bed. They hope the queen will not see them. They hope the queen will not be angry. They hope the queen will not send them away. They hope the queen will be kind.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Sara has a new toy. It is a phone. It is pink and shiny. Sara shows Tom her phone.
+
+"Look, Tom, this is my phone. It is very good. I can talk to anyone I want. Do you want to try?" Sara says.
+
+Tom nods. He likes phones. He takes Sara's phone and holds it. He presses a button. The phone makes a sound.
+
+"Hello, hello, who is this?" Tom says.
+
+Sara laughs. She holds another phone. It is blue and old. It is her mom's phone. She presses a button. The phone makes a sound.
+
+"Hi, Tom, this is Sara. I am on the other phone. Can you hear me?" Sara says.
+
+Tom hears Sara's voice. He is surprised. He smiles.
+
+"Wow, Sara, this is amazing. How can you talk to me from the other phone?" Tom says.
+
+Sara explains. She says that her phone and her mom's phone are connected by a wire. The wire is like a long snake. It carries their voices from one phone to the other. She says that her mom's phone is very reliable. It always works. She says that her phone is very fun. It has many colors and sounds.
+
+Tom and Sara play with the phones for a long time. They pretend to call different people. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They like their phones. They like each other. They are good friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes.
+
+"Look, our snowman is very happy!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, he is. But he needs a clock to tell the time," Ben says. He runs to the house and gets a clock. He puts it on the snowman's chest.
+
+"Now he can see when it is lunchtime," Ben says.
+
+They laugh and hug the snowman.
+
+But then, a bird flies by. The bird sees the clock and thinks it is shiny and pretty. The bird wants the clock for its nest. The bird lands on the snowman's head and pecks at the clock.
+
+"Hey, stop that! That is our clock!" Lily shouts.
+
+The bird does not listen. It pulls the clock off the snowman and flies away.
+
+"Oh no! Our snowman lost his clock!" Ben cries.
+
+They are very sad. They look at the bird and the clock in the sky.
+
+But then, the snowman speaks. He says, "Don't be sad, my friends. The bird was only joking. He will bring back the clock soon. He is a nice bird."
+
+Lily and Ben are surprised. They look at the snowman and his mouth. They see that the snowman has a joke book in his mouth. The snowman smiles and winks.
+
+"Ha ha, you are funny, Mr. Snowman!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, you are. You made a good joke," Ben says.
+
+They laugh and hug the snowman again.
+
+They are happy. They play in the icy snow with the snowman. They wait for the bird and the clock to come back. They have fun.
+Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Maybe it's a treasure!" Tom said.
+
+"Maybe it's a monster!" Sue said.
+
+They decided to go closer and look. They held hands and walked to the hole. They saw something shiny at the bottom.
+
+"Look, it's gold!" Tom said.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Sue said.
+
+They wanted to touch the gold, but the hole was too deep. They looked around and saw a rope hanging from a tree. They thought they could use the rope to go down the hole.
+
+"Let's try it!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" Sue said.
+
+Tom tied the rope to his waist and gave the other end to Sue. He told her to hold it tight and not let go. He started to lower himself into the hole. He got closer and closer to the gold.
+
+"Can you see it?" Sue asked.
+
+"Yes, I can!" Tom said.
+
+He reached out his hand to grab the gold. But as soon as he touched it, he felt a sharp pain. He screamed and let go of the gold. He looked at his hand and saw blood. The gold was not gold at all. It was a trap. It was a dry, rusty metal with sharp edges.
+
+"Help me, Sue!" Tom cried.
+
+Sue heard Tom's cry and pulled the rope as hard as she could. She lifted Tom out of the hole. She saw his hand and felt scared. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry."
+
+They ran away from the hole and the fake gold. They never went back to the park again. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that not everything that glitters is gold. And they learned to be careful of what they wonder.
+Sam and Mia like to play with their toy boats. They have a big tub of water in the backyard. They put their boats in the water and make them sail. They pretend they are pirates and explorers.
+
+One day, they see a big bird flying over the tub. It is a hawk. It has sharp claws and a hungry look. It wants to catch the toy boats and eat them.
+
+"Look out!" Sam shouts. "The hawk is coming!"
+
+Mia is alert. She sees the hawk too. She grabs a stick and waves it in the air. She makes a loud noise.
+
+"Go away, hawk!" she yells. "These are our boats!"
+
+The hawk is scared of the stick and the noise. It flies away to find another snack. Sam and Mia are happy. They hug each other and cheer.
+
+"We did it!" Sam says. "We saved our boats!"
+
+They go back to playing with their toy boats. They are brave and smart. They have fun.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big statue of a lion. It was very old and gray.
+
+"Let's pretend the lion is alive and we can talk to him," Lily said. She was very creative and liked to make up stories.
+
+"No, that's silly. The lion is just a statue. He can't talk or move," Max said. He was very smart and liked to learn facts.
+
+Lily and Max disagreed. They started to argue. They raised their voices and made angry faces.
+
+The lion statue heard them. He was not really a statue, but a magic lion. He was very wise and liked to teach lessons.
+
+He opened his mouth and roared. Lily and Max were very scared. They stopped arguing and hugged each other.
+
+"Please don't eat us, Mr. Lion," they said.
+
+"I won't eat you, but I want you to listen," the lion said. "You are both good children, but you need to respect each other's ideas. It's okay to disagree, but it's not okay to fight. You can learn from each other and have more fun."
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They said sorry to each other and to the lion. They thanked him for his advice.
+
+The lion smiled and closed his eyes. He turned back into a statue.
+
+Lily and Max decided to play together. They took turns pretending the lion was alive and telling him facts. They were happy and friendly. They learned that disagreeing is not bad, but fighting is.
+Tom and Sue are hungry. They want to eat some food. They go to the kitchen and look for food. They see a big bowl of soup on the table. The soup is hot and smooth.
+
+"Can we have some soup, Mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, you can, but be careful. The soup is very hot. You need a spoon to eat it. And you need to blow on it first." Mom says.
+
+Mom gives Tom and Sue each a spoon. She brings them some bread and butter too. Tom and Sue sit on the chairs and eat the soup. They dip the bread in the soup and eat it. They like the soup. It is yummy and warm.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. The soup is good." Sue says.
