His friends were running and jumping on the playground, having a lot of fun. Jim felt alone and sad. He was just standing there and watching them. + +Suddenly, he saw a bright line on the ground!

John looked up at the helicopter and watched it slowly fly away. + +John was sad that he couldn't go in the helicopter so he ran over to the slide and started to climb. He closed his eyes and imagined that he was flying through the air. He slid down the slide with a huge smile on his face. + +John said to his mom, "That was better than a helicopter! Let's do it again!" +Once upon a time there were two friends, Tom and Joe. Tom and Joe liked to play together every day.

You must be very careful in the water, because it's wet." But the little girl didn't listen. She wanted to explore the depths of the lake, so she swam all the way to the middle. + +But the lake was too deep, so the little girl started to get sucked in. She was panicking, and began to cry for help. That's when her Uncle leapt into the water and bravely rescued her. + +The little girl learned her lesson: if her Uncle said something was dangerous, she needed to listen! From then on, whenever her Uncle gave her advice, she followed it. +Once upon a time, there was a thin stream. It flowed through the forest and glowed in the sunshine.

"Ugh, why does it taste so bad?" She asked. + +Her dad smiled and said, "That's nature for you. Not every berry tastes good; nature has a way of balancing itself out." + +He then bent down and filled a hole in the ground with dirt. "What are you doing, Dad?" She asked, wide-eyed. + +"See this hole? I'm burying the bad berry so that a new, sweet berry can grow in its place. That way, a new berry can grow from the old one and the bitter berry will be gone." Lauren nodded with understanding. + +They said goodbye to the berry bush, with Lauren looking forward to tasting a much sweeter berry in its place soon. +Once upon a time, a little boy named Tommy had a very special day.

Daisy asked her mom. + +"It means to give up and let go," her mom replied. + +Daisy smiled brightly. She knew exactly what to do; she would surrender her worries, doubts and anxieties in exchange for courage, love and happiness. + +From that day on, Daisy never stopped believing in her dreams and was always full of joy! + +The end. +One day, a cat was walking around in the park. The cat noticed a big empty box sitting on the ground. The cat wanted to explore the box so it jumped inside. +The box was so dark and empty. The cat felt sad. Suddenly, another cat appeared.

But remember, don't go in the water, okay?" + +Sam agreed and sat down in the sand, watching the surfers. He watched as they paddled along the waves and stood up, riding the surfboard. Sam wanted to give it a try. + +He got up and started to walk towards the water. His dad grabbed his arm and stopped him. "No Sam! It's too dangerous. Look how fast and strong the waves are. You'd get swept away. Just watch from here. It looks slow and peaceful from the beach." + +Sam looked at the ocean and thought about what his dad said. He realized he wasn't ready to try surfing yet.

Jimmy said, "I think it's a fire station. That's why the alarm was so loud." Then, they saw a group of firefighters. Sarah said, "They look so different from us!"

Come on, Sara, don't be scared. It will be fun!" + +Ben ran to the lake and stepped on the ice. He slid and laughed and called Sara to join him. Sara was scared, but she didn't want to be left alone. She followed Ben and stepped on the ice too. + +They slid and laughed and had fun for a while. But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a crack. The ice was breaking under their feet. They were in danger. + +"Help, help!" Ben shouted. "The ice is breaking! We have to get out!" + +Sara was very scared. She remembered what Mommy had told her. She wished she had listened to her. She grabbed Ben's hand and tried to run to the shore. But the ice was slippery and icy. They fell and slid and got closer to the crack. + +They cried and screamed for help. They hoped someone would hear them and save them. They were sorry for being naughty and not obeying Mommy. + +Luckily, a man who was walking his dog heard their cries and saw them on the ice. He ran to the lake and threw a rope to them. He told them to hold on to the rope and he pulled them to the shore. He was very brave and kind. + +Sara and Ben were safe, but they were cold and wet and scared. They hugged the man and thanked him for saving them. They also hugged each other and said sorry for being foolish and reckless. + +The man took them to their house and told Mommy what had happened. Mommy was very worried and angry, but also very relieved and grateful. She hugged Sara and Ben and scolded them for going to the lake and playing on the ice. She told them to never do that again and to always listen to her. + +Sara and Ben nodded and said sorry to Mommy. They learned their lesson. They realized that Mommy knew best and that they should always obey her. They also realized that playing on the ice was not worth the risk and that they should be careful and responsible. + +They never went to the lake again and they never played on the ice again. They found other ways to have fun in the snow that were safe and smart. They were happy and good twins who remembered to listen to Mommy. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big melon on the grass. They want to eat it. + +"Let's cut the melon and share it," Lila says. + +"No, I want the whole melon. It is mine," Ben says. He is bossy. + +Lila is sad. She does not like bossy Ben. She walks away. She sees a bird on a tree. The bird is singing. Lila likes the bird. She sings with the bird. + +"Tweet, tweet, tweet," Lila sings. + +"Tweet, tweet, tweet," the bird sings. + +Ben hears Lila and the bird. He is curious. He leaves the melon and goes to see them. + +"Wow, you can sing with the bird. That is cool," Ben says. + +"Thank you. Do you want to sing with us?" Lila asks. + +"Yes, please. I am sorry I was bossy. Can we be friends again?" Ben says. + +"Of course. And we can share the melon too," Lila says. + +They hug and smile. They sing with the bird. They eat the melon. They are happy. +Sam is a big boy who likes to play with his toys. He has many cars, trucks, and trains that he can zoom and vroom on the floor. He also has a soft teddy bear that he hugs and cuddles when he is sleepy. + +One day, Sam hears a loud noise outside his window. He looks and sees a big fire truck with red lights and a loud siren. He runs to the window and watches the fire truck go by. He thinks it is very cool and exciting. + +But then he hears another noise. It is his baby sister, Lily, who is crying in her crib. She is scared of the loud noise and wants her mommy. Sam feels sorry for Lily and wants to help her. He remembers that mommy always covers Lily with a blanket when she is cold or sad. He thinks that maybe a blanket will make Lily feel better. + +He goes to his bed and takes his favorite blanket. It is blue and has stars on it. He loves his blanket because it is warm and cozy. He carries his blanket to Lily's crib and covers her with it. He also gives her his teddy bear to hug and cuddle. He says, "Don't cry, Lily. It's okay. The fire truck is gone. Sam is here. Sam loves you." + +Lily stops crying and looks at Sam. She sees his blanket and his teddy bear. She smiles and reaches for them. She snuggles with them and feels calm and safe. She says, "Thank you, Sam. Sam is nice. Lily loves you." + +Sam smiles and feels happy. He thinks he is a good big brother. He has a big muscle in his chest that makes him love Lily. He stays with Lily until mommy comes and tells them it is time for a nap. He kisses Lily and says, "Good night, Lily. Have sweet dreams." He goes to his bed and covers himself with his blanket. He holds his teddy bear and feels calm and sleepy. He closes his eyes and has sweet dreams. +Lily was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to make them speak and act like her friends. She had a pink doll that was her favorite. She called her Rose. + +"Hello, Rose. Do you want to have a tea party?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, Lily. I love tea parties. You are very nice," Rose said. + +Lily smiled and poured some water in a cup. She pretended it was tea. She gave it to Rose and took another cup for herself. + +Suddenly, she heard a loud noise from under her bed. She felt scared. She looked under her bed and saw a big monster. It had green fur, yellow eyes and sharp teeth. It growled at her. + +"Rrrr, I am a monster. I am hungry. I want to eat you and your doll," the monster said. + +Lily screamed and hugged Rose. She was very brave. She said to the monster, "No, you are not nice. You are mean. You cannot eat me and Rose. We are not food. You have to go away." + +The monster was surprised. It did not expect Lily to speak to it. It felt a little sorry. It said, "I am sorry, Lily. I did not mean to scare you. I am just lonely. I have no friends. Can I play with you and Rose?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She saw that the monster was not so bad. It just wanted to have fun. She said, "Okay, you can play with us. But you have to be gentle and kind. And you have to share the tea." + +The monster nodded and smiled. It crawled out from under the bed and joined the tea party. It was careful not to break the cups or the dolls. It said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. You are my friend. And Rose is my friend too. She is very pretty. I like her pink dress." + +Lily and Rose smiled too. They were happy to have a new friend. They played and spoke for a long time. They had a lot of fun. The monster was not so scary after all. It was just different. And that was okay. +Tom and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and climb. One day, they saw a big scale in the park. It was unknown to them. They wondered what it was for. + +Tom said, "Let's try it. Maybe it can tell us how big we are." Mia said, "OK. You go first." Tom stepped on the scale. It showed a number. Tom said, "Look, I am 20. I am big." Mia said, "Wow, you are big. Now it's my turn." She stepped on the scale. It showed a number. Mia said, "Look, I am 18. I am almost as big as you." + +Tom said, "No, you are not. You are small. I am bigger and stronger than you." Mia said, "No, you are not. You are only a little bit bigger. I am faster and smarter than you." They started to argue. They did not like each other anymore. + +Tom said, "I will show you. I will push you off the scale. Then you will see who is bigger and stronger." Mia said, "No, you will not. I will push you first. Then you will see who is faster and smarter." They both pushed each other at the same time. They fell off the scale. They hit their heads on the ground. They cried and cried. + +A lady came to help them. She said, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? This scale is not for playing. It is for measuring the weight of the trash. It is dirty and dangerous. You should not touch it. You could get hurt." She took them to their mommies. They said sorry to each other. But they had big bumps on their heads. And they had no more fun in the park. +Tom and Anna were twins. They liked to play with their toys in their room. But Tom was selfish. He did not like to share his toys with Anna. He always said, "This is mine. You cannot have it." + +One day, Anna saw a shiny car on Tom's bed. She wanted to play with it. She asked Tom, "Can I play with your car, please?" + +Tom said, "No, you cannot. This is my car. It belongs to me. Go away." + +Anna was sad. She said, "But we are twins. We should share our toys. It is not fair." + +Tom said, "I do not care. This is my car. You have your own toys. Leave me alone." + +Anna was angry. She decided to take the car when Tom was not looking. She waited until Tom went to the bathroom. Then she ran to his bed and grabbed the car. She ran to the door with the car in her hand. + +But Tom saw her. He shouted, "Hey, that is my car. Give it back. You are a thief." + +He ran after Anna. He tried to catch her. Anna ran down the stairs with the car. She was scared. She did not see the last step. She tripped and fell. The car flew out of her hand and broke. Anna hurt her head and cried. + +Tom reached Anna. He saw the broken car and his sister. He was not sorry. He was angry. He said, "Look what you did. You broke my car. You are a bad sister. I hate you." + +Anna cried more. She said, "I am sorry. I just wanted to play. I love you." + +But Tom did not listen. He turned away and went back to his room. He did not help Anna. He did not hug her. He did not say he loved her. He was selfish. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man with a big hat and a small table. He had three cups and a ball. He said, "Come and play with me. You can win a prize. You just have to find the ball under the cup. It is easy and fun." + +Lily and Tom were curious. They went to the man. The man showed them the ball and put it under a cup. He moved the cups around. He said, "Now, which cup has the ball? If you guess right, you get a prize. If you guess wrong, you give me a coin." + +Lily watched the cups carefully. She thought she knew where the ball was. She pointed to a cup. The man lifted the cup. There was no ball. The man said, "Sorry, you are wrong. Give me a coin." Lily was sad. She gave the man a coin. + +Tom watched the cups too. He thought the man was tricky. He said, "I want to play too. But I have a better idea. Let me move the cups and you guess where the ball is. If you guess right, you get a prize. If you guess wrong, you give me a coin." + +The man agreed. He gave Tom the ball and the cups. Tom put the ball under a cup. He moved the cups around. He said, "Now, which cup has the ball?" The man pointed to a cup. Tom lifted the cup. There was no ball. Tom said, "Sorry, you are wrong. Give me a coin." The man was surprised. He gave Tom a coin. + +Tom lifted another cup. There was no ball. He lifted the last cup. There was no ball. Tom said, "The ball is not under any cup. I hid it in my pocket. You are foolish. You tried to cheat us. But I cheated you. Here is your prize." Tom gave the man the ball and ran away with Lily. They laughed and went to buy ice cream. +Sara and Ben are playing outside. They like to run and jump and laugh. They see a big red mailbox near the road. Sara says, "Let's play mailman. I will be the mailman and you will be the house." + +Ben nods and runs to the porch. He pretends to wait for the mail. Sara takes some leaves and sticks and puts them in a bag. She says, "This is the mail. I will bring it to you." She walks to the mailbox and opens it. + +But then a big wind comes and blows the bag away. The leaves and sticks fly in the air. Sara tries to catch them, but she can't. She loses the mail. She feels bad. She says, "Oh no! The mail is gone! What will I do?" + +Ben sees what happens. He runs to Sara and hugs her. He says, "It's okay, Sara. It's just a game. We can play something else. You are not a bad mailman. You are a good sister." + +Sara smiles and hugs him back. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I'm sorry I lost the mail. Let's play something else. How about tag?" + +Ben says, "Okay, let's play tag. You are it!" He runs away and Sara chases him. They forget about the mailbox and the mail. They have fun. +Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They make towers with the blocks and pretend they are castles. Sara wears a pink dress and a crown. Ben wears a blue shirt and a helmet. They are the king and the queen of the blocks. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. His name is Tom. He has a big bag of blocks. He comes to Sara and Ben and says, "Can I play with you?" + +Sara and Ben look at him. They see that he wears a green shirt and a hat. They think he is different. They say, "No, you can't play with us. You don't have a dress or a helmet. You don't belong to our castle." + +Tom feels sad. He says, "But I like blocks too. I can make towers with you. I have many blocks in my bag. See?" He opens his bag and shows them his blocks. They are colorful and shiny. Sara and Ben see the blocks and feel curious. + +They say, "OK, you can play with us. But you have to follow our rules. You have to wear something on your head. And you have to be nice to our towers. They are not for knocking down." + +Tom says, "OK, I can do that. But I don't have anything to wear on my head. Can I borrow something from you?" + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They think for a moment. Then they say, "You can wear this." They give him a harmless toy snake. They put it on his head like a scarf. Tom laughs. He thinks it is funny. + +They say, "Now you are the snake king. You can join our castle. But be careful. Don't let the snake bite you." + +Tom says, "Don't worry. The snake is my friend. He won't bite me. He will help me make towers with you." + +They all smile. They start to play with the blocks. They make towers and castles. They have fun. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garage. They liked to pretend they were driving on a big road with many other cars. They made noises like honk, beep, and vroom. + +"Look, Lily, I have a red car. It is very fast and strong," Tom said. + +"I have a blue car. It is very pretty and smart," Lily said. + +They zoomed their cars around the garage, but soon they came to a crossroad. There was a sign that said "yield". Tom did not know what it meant. + +"What is yield?" he asked Lily. + +"It means you have to let the other car go first," Lily said. "You have to be nice and wait." + +"But I want to go first. My car is faster and stronger," Tom said. He did not yield. He pushed his car past the sign and bumped into Lily's car. + +"Hey, that's not fair. You made my car fall down," Lily said. She was angry and sad. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to hurt your car," Tom said. He felt bad. He picked up Lily's car and gave it to her. + +"Thank you, Tom. But you have to learn to yield. It is a good rule. It makes the road safe and fun for everyone," Lily said. + +"OK, Lily. I will learn to yield. You are right. It is a good rule. Can we still be friends?" Tom said. + +"Of course, Tom. We are always friends. Let's play some more. But this time, let's yield to each other," Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged. Then they played with their cars again. They yielded to each other and had an amazing time. They learned a new word and a new rule. They were happy. +Sam and Lily liked to play near the harbor. They liked to watch the big boats and the small fish. Sometimes they saw dolphins jump in the water. They always stayed close to their mom and dad. + +One day, they saw a big boat with a lot of people on it. They heard loud noises and saw smoke. They were scared and curious. They wanted to see what was happening. + +"Let's go closer," Sam said to Lily. + +"No, we have to stay here," Lily said. "Mom and dad told us not to go too far." + +Sam did not listen. He ran towards the boat. Lily followed him. She did not want him to get lost. + +They got closer and closer to the boat. They saw people running and shouting. They saw fire and water. They saw a big hole in the boat. They were very scared. + +"Sam, we have to go back," Lily said. "This is bad. This is very bad." + +But Sam did not hear her. He was too busy looking at the boat. He wanted to see more. + +Suddenly, the boat made a loud boom. It disappeared in the water. Sam and Lily were shocked. They did not see the boat anymore. They only saw bubbles and waves. + +"Sam, where are you?" Lily cried. She looked around. She did not see Sam. He disappeared too. + +Lily was alone. She was very sad and very scared. She did not know what to do. + +She heard a voice. It was her mom. She was calling her name. She was looking for her. + +"Lily, where are you?" Mom said. She sounded worried and angry. She was alert. + +Lily ran to her mom. She hugged her. She told her what happened. She told her about the boat and Sam. + +Mom was shocked and sad. She looked at the water. She did not see Sam. She did not see the boat. She only saw bubbles and waves. + +She hoped Sam was okay. She hoped he would come back. She hoped he would not disappear forever. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. Sara wants to swing on it. She asks Ben to push her. + +"Ben, can you push me on the swing?" Sara says. + +"OK, Sara. I will push you on the swing. Hold on tight!" Ben says. + +Ben pushes Sara on the swing. Sara feels happy. She goes up and down, up and down. She sees the sky and the trees. She laughs. + +"Look, Ben, I am flying!" Sara says. + +"You are flying, Sara. You are very brave!" Ben says. + +But then, Sara sees a driver. The driver is in a car. The car is fast. The car is loud. The car is near the park. Sara feels scared. She wants to stop. + +"Ben, stop! Stop! I see a driver!" Sara says. + +Ben hears Sara. He stops pushing her. He runs to her. He helps her get off the swing. + +"Sara, are you OK? What is wrong?" Ben says. + +"I am OK, Ben. But I saw a driver. The driver was fast and loud. I did not like the driver." Sara says. + +Ben hugs Sara. He says, "It is OK, Sara. The driver is gone. The driver did not hurt us. We are fine." + +Sara hugs Ben. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. We are fine." + +They smile. They hold hands. They go to play with other toys. They forget about the driver. They have fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go, Anna!" Ben says. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"OK, Ben!" Anna says. "But we have to be careful. The hill is steep and rocky." + +They start to climb the hill. They hold hands and help each other. They see birds and flowers and bugs. They are happy. + +They reach the top of the hill. They look around. They see the sun in the clear sky. They see the trees and the fields and the river. They see a town far away. + +"Wow, Ben!" Anna says. "Look at the east! It is so bright and pretty!" + +"Yes, Anna!" Ben says. "The east is where the sun rises. It is a good sign. It means a new day and a new chance." + +They smile and hug. They are proud of themselves. They learned something new. They decide to go down the hill and tell their parents what they saw. + +The moral of the story is: Be brave and curious. You can discover new things and have fun. The east is a symbol of hope and opportunity. +Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They saw a big boat with a big anchor. They wanted to see the anchor up close. + +"Can we go to the boat, please?" Lily asked her mom. + +"Only if you hold my hand and be careful," her mom said. "The boat belongs to someone else. We have to be humble and polite." + +Lily and Ben nodded and followed their mom to the boat. They saw a man on the boat. He was wearing a hat and a coat. + +"Hello, sir," their mom said. "We are sorry to bother you, but my children are curious about your anchor. Can we look at it for a moment?" + +The man smiled and said, "Sure, you can look at it. But don't touch it. It is very heavy and sharp. It can hurt you." + +"Thank you, sir," their mom said. "We won't touch it. We just want to see how big it is." + +Lily and Ben looked at the anchor. It was bigger than them. It had a long chain and a pointy end. It was gray and rusty. + +"Wow, it is so big!" Lily said. + +"How do you fit it on the boat?" Ben asked. + +The man laughed and said, "I have a special machine that lifts it and lowers it. It helps me stay in one place when I fish or sleep." + +"That is cool," Ben said. + +Lily and Ben thanked the man and said goodbye. They went back to the beach with their mom. They learned something new and had fun. They were happy and humble. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and games. But today it is raining. They cannot go outside. They are bored. + +"Mom, can we do something fun?" Anna asks. + +"Sorry, sweeties, I have to work on the computer. Why don't you draw some pictures or read some stories?" Mom says. + +Anna and Ben try to draw and read, but they are not happy. They want to run and jump and laugh. They look at the window. The rain is very wet. It makes the glass look funny. + +"Hey, Ben, I have an idea!" Anna says. + +"What is it?" Ben says. + +"Let's pretend we are in a boat. We can use the blankets and pillows and make a sail. And we can use the chairs and the table and make a deck. And we can use the toys and the books and make a treasure. And we can use the ceiling and the window and make the sea and the sky. It will be fun!" Anna says. + +Ben likes the idea. He helps Anna make the boat. They spend a long time making it. They use their imagination and have a lot of fun. They pretend they are pirates and explorers and sailors. They sing songs and tell jokes and make stories. They forget about the rain. + +"Wow, Anna, this is the best boat ever! I love it!"

She says she can draw on paper and make beautiful pictures. + +Sara feels happy and thankful. She says she loves her mom. She says she will wait for her red dress. She says she will draw on paper and show her mom. She says she will wear her new pen like a necklace. She says she will be careful and good. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with their toys in the park. One day, they bring their new cars. Lily has a red car and Tom has a blue car. + +They race their cars on the grass. They have fun.

The table is heavy." + +They push the table to the side of the room. But they don't see the spot on the floor. It is wet and slippery. Ben steps on the spot and falls down. He hurts his knee and starts to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says. "That spot is bad. It made me fall." + +Lily runs to Ben and hugs him. She feels sorry for him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily says. "Are you OK? Do you want a band-aid?" + +Ben nods. He wants a band-aid. He also wants to play with his car again. + +"Let's get a band-aid from Mommy," Lily says. "Then we can play some more. But we have to be careful of the spot. We don't want to fall again." + +They stand up and hold hands. They walk to Mommy and ask for a band-aid. Mommy gives Ben a band-aid and kisses his knee.

But remember to share your toys and be nice to each other." + +Ben and Lily smile. They go back to the living room and play with their toys. They share their car and their doll. They are happy and careful. They don't step on the spot again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. But they had to behave, because Mum was watching them from the window. She said they could not go near the big bush, because it had thorns and bugs. + +But Tom was curious. He wanted to see what was inside the bush. He said to Lily, "Let's go and look. Maybe there is a treasure or a fairy or a dragon." + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, Tom. Mum said no. It is not safe. It is not nice. We have to behave." + +But Tom did not listen. He was silly. He ran to the bush and pushed his way through the branches. He scratched his arms and legs and face. He felt something bite his ear. He screamed and cried. + +Mum heard him and came out. She saw Tom in the bush and Lily by the fence. She was angry and worried. She pulled Tom out of the bush and hugged him. She said, "Tom, what did you do? You did not behave. You were silly. You hurt yourself and scared me and Lily. You have to say sorry and go inside." + +Tom said sorry to Mum and Lily. He was sorry and sad. He went inside with Mum. She cleaned his wounds and gave him a plaster and a kiss. She said, "Next time, you have to behave. You have to listen to me and Lily. You have to be careful and smart. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded. He understood. He learned his lesson. He did not want to go near the bush again. He wanted to play with Lily and be happy. He wanted to behave. +Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play with paint. They had a big paper and many colors. They dipped their brushes in the paint and made dots and lines on the paper. They were happy. + +Then Lila had an idea. She said, "Let's spin the paper and see what happens." Tom agreed. They put the paper on a round table and pushed it. The paper spun and spun. The paint mixed and made new colors. They laughed and clapped. + +But then the paper spun too fast. It flew off the table and landed on the floor. The paint splashed on the carpet and the wall. Lila and Tom stopped laughing. They were sad. They knew they had made a mess. + +They heard a knock on the door. It was Lila's mom. She saw the paint and the paper. She was not happy. She said, "What did you do? You ruined the carpet and the wall. And you wasted the paper and the paint. You should have been careful and respectful." + +Lila and Tom felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to make a print with the paint. We did not mean to make a mess. We were having fun. But we did not think about the consequences. We will clean up and help you." + +Lila's mom sighed. She said, "I appreciate your apology and your willingness to help. But you should have asked me first before you spun the paper. You should have thought about the possible outcomes. You should have been more responsible and creative." + +Lila and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They helped Lila's mom clean up the paint and the paper. They promised to be more careful and respectful next time. They still liked to play with paint, but they did not spin the paper anymore. They found other ways to make prints that were safer and more beautiful. They were happy again. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the yard. They have many toys and tools. They can build, dig, and paint with them. + +One day, Tom sees a new tool in Lily's hand. It is shiny and red. It can make holes and sounds. Tom wants to try it. + +"Can I do with your tool, Lily?" Tom asks. + +Lily smiles. She is generous. She likes to share with Tom. + +"Sure, Tom. You can do with my tool. It is a drill. My dad gave it to me. He said it is for big kids. You have to be careful with it." + +Lily shows Tom how to use the drill. She holds it with both hands. She presses a button. The drill makes a loud noise. It spins fast. It can make holes in wood, metal, and plastic. + +Tom is excited. He takes the drill from Lily. He holds it with both hands. He presses the button. The drill makes a loud noise. It spins fast. He tries to make a hole in a block of wood. + +But the drill is too strong for Tom. It slips from his hands. It falls on the ground. It breaks. Tom is sad. He broke Lily's tool. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I broke your tool. I didn't mean to. It was too hard for me." + +Lily is sad too. She liked her tool. It was new and fun. But she is not angry with Tom. She knows he is sorry. She is still generous. She still likes to share with Tom. + +"It's okay, Tom. I'm not mad at you. You didn't know. It was an accident. Maybe my dad can fix it. Or maybe he can get me a new one. Or maybe we can play with other tools. We still have many. We can still have fun." + +Tom hugs Lily. He is happy. He has a good friend. He is grateful. He says thank you. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You are generous. You share with me. I'm sorry I broke your tool. I will be more careful next time. Can we play with your paint?" + +Lily nods. She hugs Tom back. She is happy too. She has a good friend. She says you're welcome. + +"You're welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. You say sorry. You are grateful. I'm glad you like my paint. Let's go and paint something. Maybe we can paint a picture of us and our tools." + +Tom and Lily go to the table. They take the paint and the brushes. They paint a picture of them and their tools. They use many colors. They make a beautiful picture. They are proud of their work. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play cowboys and robbers. Tom has a large pistol that makes a loud noise. Sam has a small pistol that does not make any noise. Sam wants to have a large pistol too. + +One day, they go to the toy store with their moms. Sam sees a large pistol that looks like Tom's. He asks his mom to buy it for him. His mom says no. She says it is too expensive and too noisy. Sam is sad and angry. + +He sees Tom and his mom at the cashier. Tom's mom is buying him a new hat and a badge. Tom is happy and proud. He shows Sam his new things. He says, "Look, Sam, I am a real cowboy now. You are just a robber with a small pistol." + +Sam feels even more sad and angry. He grabs Tom's large pistol and runs away. He says, "Give me that, Tom. You have too many things. I want a large pistol too." + +Tom chases Sam and shouts, "Stop, Sam. That is mine. Give it back. You are a bad robber." + +They run around the store, knocking over toys and making a mess. Their moms see them and are very mad. They catch them and take away their pistols. They say, "No more pistols for you, Tom and Sam. You are naughty boys. You have to say sorry and help clean up the store." + +Tom and Sam are sorry and ashamed. They say sorry to each other and to their moms and to the store owner. They help clean up the store. They learn to share and be nice. They are friends again. They play cowboys and robbers with their small pistols. They have fun. +Sara and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They like to pretend they are chefs and make food for their toys. Sara is using a big pot and some spoons. Ben is using the faucet and some cups. + +"Look, Sara, I can fill the cups with water!" Ben says. He turns the faucet on and off and makes the water splash. He laughs and puts the cups on the table. + +"Sara, do you want some water?" Ben says. He picks up a cup and walks to Sara. + +"No, thank you, Ben. I am busy," Sara says. She is stirring the pot and making noises. She does not look at Ben. + +Ben feels sad. He wants to play with Sara. He thinks Sara does not like him. He puts the cup down and turns the faucet on again. He makes the water run faster and faster. He thinks it is fun. + +But Sara does not think it is fun. She sees the water spill on the floor and on her pot. She gets upset. She does not like the mess. + +"Ben, stop it! You are making a mess! You are ruining my food!" Sara says. She shouts at Ben and pushes him away. + +Ben gets upset too. He does not like to be shouted at and pushed. He drops the cup and it breaks. He cries and runs away. + +Sara and Ben are both upset. They do not want to play together anymore. They sit in different corners and sniff. They wish they had someone to play with. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. Ben had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road. + +"Beep beep! I'm going to win!" Ben shouted. + +"No, I'm going to win!" Lily said. + +They zoomed their cars around the grass and the flowers. But then they saw something strange. There was a lot of white stuff in the air. It was fog. They could not see very well. + +"What is that?" Ben asked. + +"It's fog. It makes everything look fuzzy," Lily said. + +"Let's go into the fog. It will be fun," Ben said. + +He drove his car into the fog. Lily followed him. They could not see each other or the garden anymore. They only saw white. + +"Ben, where are you?" Lily called. + +"I'm here. Can you see me?" Ben said. + +"No, I can't. I'm scared," Lily said. + +They tried to find their way back to the garden. But they were lost. They drove their cars in different directions. They bumped into things. They heard strange noises. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. + +But no one heard them. They were too far away. They were in trouble. + +They should have listened to their mom. She had told them not to play with their cars in the fog. She had said it was dangerous. She had said they could get hurt or lost. She had said they were being silly. + +But they did not listen. They thought they knew better. They thought they were having fun. + +But they were not. They were in reverse. They were going backwards. They were going away from the garden, from their mom, from their home. + +They were going into the fog. And they never came back. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They lived next door to each other and played in their yards every day. They liked to pretend they were explorers, finding new lands and animals. One day, they found a delicate butterfly in the grass. It had blue and yellow wings and looked very pretty. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said, holding the butterfly gently in her hand. "It's so soft and shiny!" + +"Can I see?" Ben asked, reaching out his hand. + +"Be careful, don't hurt it!" Lily warned. She gave the butterfly to Ben, who also admired it. + +They decided to keep the butterfly as their pet. They made a small house for it out of a shoebox and some leaves. They named it Flora and fed it sugar water and flowers. They were very happy with their new friend. + +But the next day, when they went to check on Flora, they saw that the shoebox was empty. The butterfly was gone. They looked around the yard, but they could not find it. They felt sad and confused. + +"Where did Flora go?" Lily asked, tears in her eyes. + +"Maybe she flew away," Ben said, trying to be brave. + +"But why? We gave her everything she needed. We loved her," Lily said. + +They sat on the grass, feeling lonely and sorry. They wished they could see Flora again. + +Then, they heard a soft fluttering sound. They looked up and saw Flora flying above them. She was not alone. She was with many other butterflies, of different colors and sizes. They formed a beautiful rainbow in the sky. + +Flora flew down and landed on Lily's nose. She tickled her with her wings and made her giggle. Then, she flew to Ben's ear and whispered something. He smiled and nodded. + +"Flora says she missed us, but she also wanted to be with her family. She says we can be her family too. She wants us to unite with her and the other butterflies," Ben said. + +"Really? How?" Lily asked. + +"Like this," Ben said. He took Lily's hand and stood up. They spread their arms and ran around the yard, following Flora and the other butterflies. They felt free and happy, like they were flying too. + +They played with the butterflies until the sun set. Then, they hugged Flora and thanked her for being their friend. Flora kissed them and flew away with her family. Lily and Ben waved goodbye and went back to their houses. They knew they would see Flora again, and they felt a special bond with her and the other butterflies. They had learned that sometimes, love means letting go, and that different families can unite and share joy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with snow on it. They wanted to slide down the hill on their sleds. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "It will be fun!" + +"OK, Ben!" Lily said. "But we need to wear our coats. It is cold outside." + +They put on their coats and ran to the hill. They took their sleds and climbed up the hill. They saw a wide path that looked smooth and fast. + +"Look, Lily!" Ben said. "This is the best path. Let's shoot down it!" + +"Are you sure, Ben?" Lily said. "It looks scary. Maybe we should take another path." + +"No, Lily!" Ben said. "Don't be a baby. This is the most fun. Come on!" + +Ben pushed his sled and shot down the wide path. He laughed and shouted. Lily was afraid, but she did not want to be a baby. She pushed her sled and followed Ben. + +But the wide path was not safe. It had a big hole in the middle. Ben did not see the hole. He fell into the hole and hurt himself. He cried and screamed. Lily saw the hole and tried to stop. But she was going too fast. She also fell into the hole and hurt herself. She cried and screamed too. + +No one heard them. They were stuck in the hole. They were cold and scared. They wished they had listened to Lily and taken another path. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be reckless. Sometimes the most fun path is not the best path. Listen to your friends and be careful. +Lily and Sam went to visit their grandma. They were very happy to see her. She gave them big hugs and kisses. She said, "Come in, come in. I have a surprise for you." + +They followed her to the kitchen. There was a big box on the table. Grandma said, "This is for you. You can unpack it and see what's inside." Lily and Sam were very excited. They opened the box and found many things. There were books, toys, stickers, and clothes. They thanked grandma for the gifts. + +But there was one more thing in the box. It was a bag of popcorn. Grandma said, "This is for later. We can make popcorn and watch a movie together." Lily and Sam loved popcorn. They said, "Yay! Thank you, grandma. You are very kind." + +They unpacked the rest of the box and put their things in their room. Then they helped grandma make the popcorn. They heard the popcorn pop, pop, pop in the pot. It smelled very good. They poured the popcorn into a big bowl and added some butter and salt. + +They took the popcorn to the living room and sat on the couch with grandma. She turned on the TV and put on a funny movie. They laughed and ate the popcorn. They had a lot of fun. They were very happy to be with their grandma. She was very kind. +Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. Sam saw a big yellow squash growing on a vine. He wanted to pick it and eat it. + +"Look, Lily, a squash!" he said. "Can we have it for lunch?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, Sam, that is not our squash. That is Mrs. Lee's squash. She lives next door. She grows squashes and gives them to people. She is very nice." + +Sam did not listen. He thought Lily was stupid. He pulled the squash from the vine. It was heavy and round. He ran to the house with it. + +"Mom, mom, look what I found!" he shouted. "A squash!" + +Mom looked at the squash and frowned. She knew it was not theirs. She saw Mrs. Lee coming to the fence. She looked angry. + +"Sam, where did you get that squash?" she asked. + +Sam smiled. He thought he was clever. "I found it in the garden. It is mine now." + +Mrs. Lee shook her head. "No, Sam, that is my squash. You took it from my vine. That is not nice. That is stealing. You have to give it back." + +Sam did not want to give it back. He liked the squash. He hugged it to his chest. "No, it is mine. I like it. Go away." + +Mom was ashamed. She took the squash from Sam and gave it to Mrs. Lee. She said sorry. She said Sam was naughty and did not know better. + +Mrs. Lee was kind. She smiled and said it was okay. She said she had more squashes and she would give them one. She said they were welcome to visit her garden anytime. She said she liked Sam and Lily and wanted to be their friend. + +Sam felt bad. He realized he was wrong. He said sorry to Mrs. Lee. He said he was stupid and did not mean to hurt her. He said he wanted to be her friend too. + +Lily hugged Sam and said it was okay. She said she still liked him and they could play together. She said they could share the squash and thank Mrs. Lee. + +They all went to the kitchen and Mom cut the squash. She cooked it and made soup. They ate the soup and it was yummy. They thanked Mrs. Lee and said she was nice. They said they were happy to have her as their neighbor. They learned to be kind and honest and not to take things that were not theirs. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot is a big and strong dog. He can run fast and jump high. He likes to chase balls and sticks. + +One day, Lily and Ben go to the park with their mom and Spot. They see a man with a cart. He is selling sausages. They smell good. Lily and Ben want to buy a sausage for Spot. They ask their mom. + +"Mom, can we buy a sausage for Spot? He is a good dog. He is hungry." + +Mom smiles and nods. She gives them some money. They run to the man with the cart. They say, "Hello, sir. We want to buy a sausage for our dog. How much is it?" + +The man looks at Spot and says, "Wow, he is a strong dog. He must love sausages. One sausage is one dollar. Here you go." + +Lily and Ben thank the man and take the sausage. They go back to their mom and Spot. They give the sausage to Spot. He wags his tail and eats it. He licks his lips and barks. He is happy. + +Lily and Ben hug Spot and say, "We love you, Spot. You are the best dog ever." + +Mom hugs Lily and Ben and says, "You are the best kids ever. You are kind and generous. I am proud of you." + +They all smile and enjoy the sunny day in the park. +Lily and Ben were brother and sister. They liked to play outside in winter. They made snowmen and snowballs and snow forts. They had fun in the cold. + +One day, they saw a big house with a lot of lights and decorations. They wanted to see what was inside. They walked to the door and tried to open it. It was locked. They saw a window and looked through it. They saw a big tree with shiny things and a lot of presents. They wanted to have some of the presents. + +They found a rock and threw it at the window. The window broke and made a loud noise. They climbed through the window and ran to the tree. They grabbed some of the presents and opened them. They saw toys and books and candy. They were happy. + +But then they heard a voice. It was the owner of the house. He was angry. He saw the broken window and the opened presents. He shouted at Lily and Ben. He said they were bad and naughty. He said he would call the police. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the presents and ran to the window. They tried to climb out, but the window was too high. They were trapped. They cried and said they were sorry. + +The owner of the house saw them crying. He felt sorry for them. He asked them why they did it. Lily and Ben said they were hungry and cold and wanted some of the presents. They said they had no home and no parents. + +The owner of the house was sad. He said he was lonely and had no family. He said he had too many presents and no one to share them with. He said he would forgive them if they promised not to do it again. He said he would give them some food and clothes and a place to stay. He said he would be their friend. + +Lily and Ben were happy. They said they were sorry and thanked him. They hugged him and said they would be his friends. They ate some food and put on some clothes. They played with some of the toys and read some of the books. They had fun in the warm. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take what is not yours. Be kind and generous to others. You can find happiness in friendship. +Sara and Tom were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish and shells and seaweed. They also saw a crab. The crab was red and had big claws and eyes on sticks. + +"Look, a crab!" Sara said. "Let's catch it and play with it!" + +"No, don't touch it!" Tom said. "It might pinch you!" + +But Sara did not listen. She ran after the crab and tried to grab it. The crab was scared and angry. It ran away from Sara and hid under a rock. + +"Come out, crab!" Sara said. "I want to dance with you!" + +She reached under the rock and pulled the crab out. The crab did not want to dance. It wanted to be left alone. It snapped its claws at Sara and pinched her finger. + +"Ow!" Sara cried. "The crab bit me! It hurts!" + +She dropped the crab and ran to her mom and dad. They saw her finger was bleeding and red. They wrapped it with a bandage and took her to the doctor. + +The doctor said Sara had to take medicine and rest. She could not play in the water or the sand for a long time. She was very sad and sorry. She learned that crabs are not toys and that they do not like to dance. She also learned that she should listen to her brother and be careful. She had a terrible day. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a furry bear that she likes to hug and pet. Ben has a plastic truck that he likes to drive and crash. They are having fun, but they also want to try each other's toys. + +"Can I play with your bear?" Ben asks Sara. + +"OK, but be gentle. He is very soft and furry," Sara says. + +"Can I play with your truck?" Sara asks Ben. + +"OK, but be careful. It is very hard and loud," Ben says. + +They swap their toys and start to explore them. Ben feels the texture of the bear's fur. He likes how it tickles his fingers. He claps his hands and laughs. Sara feels the texture of the truck's wheels. She likes how they spin and roll. She claps her hands and smiles. + +But then, Ben has an idea. He wants to see what happens if he throws the bear in the air. He thinks it will be fun to watch it fly and land. He does not think about how Sara will feel. He tosses the bear high up and claps his hands. + +Sara sees what Ben is doing and gasps. She loves her bear and does not want him to get hurt. She runs to catch him, but she is too late. The bear falls on the floor with a thud. He loses one of his eyes and rips his ear. He looks sad and broken. + +Sara cries and picks up her bear. She hugs him and tries to fix him. She is very angry and sad. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She yells at him. + +"Bad Ben! You hurt my bear! You are not my friend! Give me back my truck!" + +Ben feels sorry and scared. He did not mean to hurt the bear or Sara. He just wanted to have fun. He gives back the truck and tries to say sorry. + +"Sorry Sara. I did not know. I was just playing. Please don't be mad." + +But Sara does not listen. She turns away and sniffs. She takes her bear and her truck and goes to her room. She slams the door and locks it. She does not want to see Ben ever again. + +Ben is left alone in the living room. He feels sad and lonely. He has no toys and no friend. He claps his hands, but there is no sound. He wishes he could take back what he did. He wishes he could make Sara happy again. But he does not know how. He sits on the floor and cries. +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 that she hugged and kissed. Ben had a small car that he zoomed around the floor. + +"Look, Lily, my car is very fast!" Ben said, showing off his car. "It can go anywhere!" + +"That's nice, Ben, but my bear is very warm!" Lily said, holding her bear close. "It can cuddle with me!" + +Ben wanted to cuddle with the bear too. He reached out his hand and tried to grab the bear from Lily. Lily did not like that. She pulled the bear back and said, "No, Ben, this is my bear! You have your car!" + +Ben did not listen. He tried to take the bear again. Lily and Ben started to fight over the bear. They both pulled and tugged and shouted. The bear was not happy. It felt the fight in its fur and stuffing. It wished they would stop. + +Then, they heard a voice from the kitchen. It was their mom. She had heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the bear. She was not happy. She said, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over the bear?" + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting. They looked at their mom. They felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, mom." + +Mom said, "You should not fight over the bear. The bear is for sharing. Sharing is good. Sharing makes you happy. Sharing makes the bear happy. Can you share the bear?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, mom." + +Mom said, "Good. Now, how can you share the bear?" + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment. Then, they had an idea. They said, "We can spread the bear!" + +Mom said, "Spread the bear? What do you mean?" + +Lily and Ben showed her. They took the bear and spread it between them. They each held one arm and one leg of the bear. They smiled and said, "See, mom, we can spread the bear! Now we can both cuddle with the bear!" + +Mom smiled too. She said, "That's very clever, Lily and Ben. You are very patient and kind. You found a way to share the bear. I'm proud of you. And I'm sure the bear is happy too." + +The bear was happy. It felt the warmth and love of Lily and Ben in its fur and stuffing. It wished they would always be happy. It closed its eyes and enjoyed the cuddle. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to look for shiny things in the grass. Lila found a small crystal that sparkled in the sun. She showed it to Tom and said, "Look, I found a crystal! It is so nice and pretty!" + +Tom was happy for Lila. He said, "Wow, that is a nice crystal! Can I see it?" Lila gave him the crystal and he held it in his hand. He saw all the colors in it and smiled. + +Then, he had an idea. He said, "Do you know how to whistle, Lila?" Lila shook her head. She said, "No, I don't. How do you whistle?" Tom said, "You have to make a small hole with your lips and blow air. Like this." He put the crystal to his mouth and whistled. It made a high sound that echoed in the park. + +Lila was amazed. She said, "That is so cool, Tom! How did you do that?" Tom said, "The crystal makes the sound when you whistle. It is like a magic whistle. Do you want to try?" Lila nodded. She took the crystal and put it to her mouth. She tried to whistle, but she only made a puff sound. She tried again, but nothing happened. + +Tom said, "Don't worry, Lila. You have to practice. It is not easy to whistle. Here, let me help you." He took the crystal and put it to Lila's mouth. He said, "Now, make a small hole with your lips and blow air. Like this." He whistled with her and the crystal made a sound again. + +Lila was happy. She said, "I did it, Tom! I whistled with the crystal! It is so fun!" Tom said, "Yes, you did, Lila! You are a good whistler! Let's whistle some more!" They whistled with the crystal and made different sounds. They had a lot of fun with their magic whistle. +Lily and Max are friends. They go to the same school. They like to play and learn together. One day, they have a new teacher. Her name is Miss Rose. + +Miss Rose is very nice. She has long hair and a purple dress. She smiles a lot and sings songs. Lily and Max like her. But they also notice something different about her. She has one green eye and one blue eye. + +"Wow, look at her eyes!" Lily whispers to Max. "They are not the same color!" + +"I know, they are cool!" Max whispers back. "Do you think she can see different things with them?" + +"I don't know, maybe. Let's ask her later." + +Lily and Max wait until the end of the class. Then they raise their hands and ask Miss Rose. + +"Miss Rose, we have a question. Why are your eyes different colors?" Lily asks. + +Miss Rose smiles and bends down to their level. She points to her eyes and says, "These are my pupils. They are the part of the eye that lets me see. Sometimes, people have pupils that are different colors. It is called heterochromia. It is not very common, but it is not bad. It just makes me special." + +Lily and Max nod. They think Miss Rose is special too. They recognize that she is a good teacher and a kind person. They give her a hug and say, "Thank you, Miss Rose. We like your eyes. They are beautiful." +Lily and Ben were going to visit Grandma in her big building. They liked Grandma, but they did not like the elevator. The elevator was noisy and scary. It made a loud ding when it stopped, and it shook when it moved. + +"Can we take the stairs?" Lily asked Mom. + +"No, sweetie, it's too many stairs. We have to take the elevator," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben held Mom's hands and walked to the elevator. They saw a big red button on the wall. Mom pushed the button and waited. + +"What does the button do?" Ben asked. + +"It tells the elevator to come," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben looked at the button. It had a picture of an arrow pointing up. They wondered what would happen if they pushed the button. + +"Can I push the button?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe next time," Mom said. + +The elevator arrived with a loud ding. The doors opened and Mom, Lily and Ben stepped inside. There were more buttons inside the elevator. They had numbers on them. + +"Can I push the button?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can push the button for Grandma's floor," Mom said. + +She pointed to the button with the number six on it. Ben reached for the button, but Lily was faster. She pushed the button before Ben could. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Ben said. + +"Yes, it is. I'm older," Lily said. + +"No, you're not. We're twins," Ben said. + +They started to argue. Mom tried to calm them down, but they did not listen. They pushed each other and pulled each other's hair. They made a lot of noise. + +The elevator started to move. It went up and up. It made a loud rumble. It shook and shuddered. Lily and Ben stopped fighting. They looked at Mom. They looked at the buttons. They looked at the doors. They were scared. + +"What's happening?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. The elevator is broken," Mom said. + +She pushed the button with a picture of a phone on it. She tried to talk to someone, but no one answered. She pushed the button again and again. She looked worried. + +"Are we stuck?" Ben asked. + +"I hope not. Maybe someone will come and help us," Mom said. + +She hugged Lily and Ben and told them to be brave. She told them to guess what Grandma would make for them when they got out. She told them to guess what stories Grandma would tell them. She told them to guess what games Grandma would play with them. + +Lily and Ben tried to guess. They guessed cookies and cake. They guessed fairy tales and jokes. They guessed puzzles and cards. They guessed and guessed. They forgot about the noise and the shaking. They smiled and laughed. + +The elevator stopped with a loud ding. The doors opened. They saw Grandma waiting for them. She had a big smile on her face. She had a basket of cookies in her hands. She had a hug for each of them. + +"Hello, my darlings. I'm so glad you're here," Grandma said. + +"Hi, Grandma. We're glad too," Lily and Ben said. + +They ran to Grandma and hugged her. Mom followed them. She looked relieved. + +"Sorry we're late. The elevator was broken," Mom said. + +"Oh, dear. That's terrible. Are you all right?" Grandma asked. + +"We're fine. We guessed a lot of things to pass the time," Mom said. + +"Really? What did you guess?" Grandma asked. + +Lily and Ben told Grandma what they guessed. They told her about the cookies and the cake, the fairy tales and the jokes, the puzzles and the cards. Grandma listened and nodded. She smiled and winked. + +"You guessed very well. You guessed exactly what I have for you," Grandma said. + +She took them to her apartment. She gave them cookies and cake. She told them fairy tales and jokes. She played puzzles and cards with them. They had a lot of fun. + +They did not mind the elevator anymore. They liked Grandma's big building. They liked Grandma's apartment. They liked Grandma's surprises. They liked guessing. +Sara and Sam are twins. They like to play together every day. They share their toys, their snacks and their bed. They are happy twins. + +One day, Mom says they have to go to school. She says they will learn new things and make new friends. Sara and Sam are scared. They do not want to go to school.

They miss Mom and each other. They do not know anyone. They do not want to play or learn. They have a big urge to run away and find each other. + +But they do not run away. They stay in their classes. They listen to their teachers. They try to be nice to the other kids. They draw pictures and sing songs. They learn new words and numbers. + +At lunch, they see each other. They run to each other and hug. They are happy to see each other. They tell each other what they did in their classes. They eat their sandwiches and cookies. They play with their new friends. + +After school, Mom comes to pick them up. She asks them how their day was. Sara and Sam say it was good. They say they learned new things and made new friends. They say they still love each other and Mom. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says she is proud of them. She says they are brave twins. She says they can still play together at home. She says they do not have to be lonely at school. + +Sara and Sam smile and hug Mom. They are happy twins. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy trains on the floor. They liked to make noises and pretend they were going on a long trip. Sometimes they would stop at different stations and say hello to their friends. + +One day, they decided to make a big hill out of pillows and blankets. They wanted to see if their trains could climb up and down. They worked hard to make the hill as high and steep as they could. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lila said, as she pushed her train up the hill. Ben did the same with his train. They watched as their trains struggled to reach the top. They made chugging and puffing sounds with their mouths. + +"Look, my train is faster!" Ben said, as his train reached the top first. He smiled and waved at Lila. + +"Not fair, your train is newer!" Lila said, as her train got stuck halfway up the hill. She frowned and tried to pull it up. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud hissing sound. They looked at their trains and saw steam coming out of them. They were very hot and smelled funny. + +"Uh-oh, I think our trains are broken!" Lila said, as she dropped her train and backed away. + +"Me too!" Ben said, as he did the same. They were scared and sad. They loved their trains and did not want them to be broken. + +They ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. They told her what happened and showed her their trains. + +"Don't worry, sweeties, your trains are not broken. They just need some water and some rest. They worked too hard and got overheated. That's why they made steam," mom said, as she took their trains and put them in a bowl of cold water. + +"Really?" Lila and Ben asked, as they looked at their trains. + +"Really. They will be fine soon. Why don't you come and have some cookies and milk? That will make you feel better," mom said, as she hugged them and led them to the table. + +Lila and Ben nodded and followed mom. They felt more comfortable and happy. They ate their cookies and drank their milk. They thanked mom and said sorry for making a mess. + +"It's okay, I'm glad you had fun. Maybe next time, you can make a smaller hill, or take breaks in between. That way, your trains won't get too hot and make steam," mom said, as she smiled and kissed them. + +"Okay, mom, we will. We love you and we love our trains," Lila and Ben said, as they hugged mom and went back to their room. They took their trains out of the water and dried them. They played with them gently and said good night to them. They hoped they would be ready for another adventure tomorrow. +Lily and Ben were at the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. But Lily's favorite animal was the zebra. She liked its black and white stripes and its long tail. + +"Mom, can I have a zebra toy?" Lily asked, pointing at the gift shop. + +"Maybe later, sweetie. We have to finish seeing all the animals first," Mom said. + +But Lily did not want to wait. She started to cry and whine. "I want a zebra now! Now, now, now!" She stamped her feet and threw a tantrum. + +Ben was annoyed by his sister. He thought she was spoiled and rude. He liked the zoo and wanted to see more animals. He did not care about toys. + +"Stop it, Lily. You are being a baby. Zebras are not toys. They are real animals. They live in the wild, not in your room. You have to be nice and patient," Ben said. + +Lily did not listen to Ben. She kept crying and screaming. Mom was embarrassed and tired. She tried to calm Lily down, but nothing worked. + +"Fine, Lily. If you want a zebra so much, why don't you go and live with them?" Mom said, pretending to be angry. + +She picked up Lily and carried her to the zebra enclosure. She put her down on the fence and said, "Here you go. This is your new home. Say goodbye to Ben and me. We are leaving without you." + +Lily was scared. She saw the zebras staring at her with their big eyes. She heard them snort and neigh. She felt the sun burning her skin. She realized she had made a big mistake. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I don't want a zebra. I want to go home with you. Please, please, please," Lily said, sobbing. + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She knew Lily was just pretending. She was not really going to leave her with the zebras. She wanted to teach her a lesson. + +"It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But you have to promise me to be more grateful and polite. You can't always get what you want. You have to finish what you start. And you have to respect the animals and their habitats. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry, zebras. Can we go and see the penguins now?" + +Mom and Ben laughed and said, "Sure, Lily. Let's go and see the penguins. But no more tantrums, okay?" + +Lily agreed and smiled. She learned her lesson. She did not want a zebra toy anymore. She wanted to enjoy the zoo with her family. She was happy. +Lila wanted to make a triangle with her blocks. She liked triangles because they had three sides and three points. She tried to put three blocks together, but they kept falling down. She felt angry and impatient. + +"Mommy, help me!" she cried. "I can't make a triangle!" + +Mommy came over and smiled. She picked up two blocks and put them on the floor. Then she took another block and put it on top of them. + +"Look, Lila, you have a triangle!" she said. "You just need to balance the blocks carefully." + +Lila looked at the triangle and clapped her hands. She was happy and proud. She wanted to make another triangle. + +"Can I try again, Mommy?" she asked. + +"Of course, Lila. You can try as many times as you want. And if you need help, I'm here for you." Mommy said. + +Lila picked up three more blocks and tried to copy Mommy. She was careful and gentle. She succeeded in making another triangle. She smiled and hugged Mommy. + +"Thank you, Mommy. I love you and I love triangles!" she said. +Lily liked to fold paper. She made birds and flowers and stars. She gave them to her mom and dad and they smiled. Lily had a baby brother, but he was very sick. He stayed in a big bed with wires and tubes. Lily wanted to give him a paper bird, but mom said no. + +One day, Lily came home from school and saw mom crying. Dad hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Your brother is dead. He went to sleep and didn't wake up." Lily felt sad and angry. She didn't understand why her brother had to die. She ran to her room and tore up all her paper birds. She threw them on the floor and screamed. + +Mom and dad came to her room and tried to calm her down. They said they loved her and they were sorry. They said her brother was in a better place and he was not sick anymore. They said they wanted to keep one of her paper birds to remember him. Lily stopped crying and looked at the paper pieces. She saw one that was still whole. It was a blue bird with yellow wings. She picked it up and gave it to mom. She said, "This is for him. He can fly with it." Mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. He would have loved it." Lily nodded and hugged her back. She felt a little better. She still missed her brother, but she knew he was happy. She hoped he would see her paper bird and smile. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the barn. The barn has many animals and hay. Sometimes they find oats in the hay. Oats are good for horses and cows. Tim and Sam like to eat oats too. + +One day, they see a big bag of oats in the barn. They run to the bag and open it. They want to eat some oats. But the oats are not good. They are brown and wet and smell bad. They are rot oats. + +"Yuck! These oats are rot!" Tim says. He spits out the oats. + +"Who put rot oats in the barn?" Sam asks. He feels sick. + +They hear a voice from behind the bag. It is the farmer. He is angry. + +"I put rot oats in the barn. They are for the compost. They are not for you. You are naughty boys. You should not eat oats from the barn. You should eat oats from the kitchen. The kitchen has good oats. The barn has rot oats. Do you understand?" the farmer says. + +Tim and Sam nod. They are sorry. They do not want to eat rot oats again. They want to eat good oats. + +The farmer takes the bag of oats and puts it in a big bin. The bin is for compost. Compost is good for plants. The farmer makes compost from rot things. + +The farmer gives Tim and Sam a bowl of good oats. The oats are dry and sweet and smell good. They are not rot oats. + +"Here, eat these oats. They are good for you. They are from the kitchen. The kitchen has good oats. The barn has rot oats. Remember that." the farmer says. + +Tim and Sam eat the oats. They are happy. They thank the farmer. They do not want to play in the barn anymore. They want to play in the yard. The yard has flowers and grass and toys. The yard is fun. The barn is empty. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck near their house. The truck had many cans of oil on it. The brothers were curious and wanted to see the oil. + +They ran to the truck and climbed on it. They opened one can of oil and poured some on the ground. The oil was slippery and shiny. Ben and Sam thought it was fun to slide on the oil. They laughed and shouted. + +But then, a man came out of the truck. He was angry and yelled at them. "What are you doing? This is my oil! You are making a mess and wasting my oil! Get off my truck now!" + +Ben and Sam were scared and confused. They did not know the man was the owner of the oil. They did not know the oil was important and expensive. They tried to get off the truck, but they slipped on the oil. They fell down and hurt themselves. They cried and said sorry to the man. + +The man helped them get up and took them to their house. He told their mom what they did. Their mom was not happy and scolded them. She said they should not touch things that do not belong to them. She said they should be careful and respectful. She said they should learn from their mistake and apologize to the man. + +Ben and Sam felt bad and ashamed. They said sorry to the man again and promised to never do it again. The man accepted their apology and gave them a hug. He said he hoped they would be more responsible and wise in the future. He said he forgave them and wished them well. + +The moral of the story is: Do not touch things that do not belong to you. Be careful and respectful. Learn from your mistakes and apologize when you are wrong. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked candy very much. One day, they saw a big jar of candy on the table in the kitchen. It seemed to be full of many colors and shapes of candy. They wanted to eat some, but their mom said no. She said they had to wait until after dinner, and they could only have one piece each. + +But Tim and Sam did not listen to their mom. When she was busy in the other room, they sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed the jar of candy. They ran to their bedroom and locked the door. They opened the jar and started to eat the candy. They ate and ate and ate, until they felt sick. + +"Tim, I don't feel good," Sam said. "Me neither," Tim said. "Maybe we ate too much candy." They looked at the jar and saw that it was almost empty. They had eaten almost all the candy. They felt bad and scared. What would their mom say when she found out? + +They heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She sounded angry. "Tim, Sam, open the door right now! I know what you did! You ate all the candy! That was very naughty and greedy of you! You are in big trouble!" + +Tim and Sam opened the door and saw their mom's face. She was very mad. She took the jar of candy and threw it in the trash. She said they had to go to bed without dinner and without any more candy. She said they had to learn to be modest and share. She said they had to say sorry to her and to each other. + +Tim and Sam felt very sorry and sad. They wished they had listened to their mom and waited for their candy. They learned that being greedy and sneaky was not good. They hugged their mom and each other and said sorry. They hoped their mom would forgive them and give them another chance. They hoped they would feel better in the morning. +Lily was a brown bear who liked to learn new things. She asked her mama many questions every day. Mama bear was happy to teach Lily and share her wisdom. + +One day, Lily and mama bear went to the river to catch some fish. Lily saw a big fish jumping out of the water. She wanted to catch it, but she did not know how. + +"Mama, how do you catch a fish?" Lily asked. + +Mama bear smiled and said, "You have to be patient and quiet, and watch the water carefully. When you see a fish, you have to use your paw to scoop it out quickly." + +Lily nodded and tried to do what mama bear said. She waited and watched the water. She saw a small fish swimming near the shore. She reached out her paw and scooped it out. She was so happy that she clapped her paws and said, "I did it, mama! I caught a fish!" + +Mama bear clapped her paws too and said, "Well done, Lily! You are a smart and brave bear. I am proud of you." + +Lily and mama bear hugged and ate the fish together. They enjoyed their lunch and learned something new. Lily thanked mama bear for her wisdom and love. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set that their dad had given them. They could make the train go fast or slow, and change the tracks to go different ways. + +One day, their mom came into their room with a big smile. She had some news for them. "Guess what, my loves?" she said. "You are going to have a baby brother or sister soon!" + +Lily and Ben were very surprised and excited. They had many questions for their mom. "When will the baby come?" "Will it be a boy or a girl?" "Can we help you take care of it?" + +Mom hugged them and said, "The baby will come in a few months. We don't know if it will be a boy or a girl yet, but we will love it no matter what. And yes, you can help me take care of it, but you have to be gentle and quiet around it." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to be good big siblings. They decided to share their train set with the baby when it came. They also wanted to give the baby a name. They thought of many names, but they could not agree on one. + +"Let's settle this," Ben said. "We can take turns picking a name. I'll go first. How about Max?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, I don't like Max. How about Zoe?" + +Ben frowned. "No, I don't like Zoe. How about Sam?" + +Lily shrugged. "Sam is okay, but I like Zoe better." + +They kept arguing until mom came back. She smiled and said, "You know, you don't have to pick a name right now. You can wait until the baby is born and see what name fits best. The most important thing is that you love the baby and be dependable for each other." + +Lily and Ben agreed. They hugged mom and said, "We love you, mom. And we love the baby, too. We can't wait to meet it." +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had a big box of toys and a lamp. They liked to pretend that the lamp was a magic wand that could make things happen. + +"Let's make a cake!" Lily said. She took a bowl and a spoon from the toy kitchen. "You stir the batter and I'll add the sprinkles." + +Ben nodded and took the spoon. He started to stir the bowl, but he was impatient. He wanted to see the magic. He waved the lamp over the bowl and said, "Abracadabra!" + +Nothing happened. Ben frowned and waved the lamp harder. "Abracadabra, abracadabra, abracadabra!" + +Still nothing. Ben got angry and threw the lamp on the floor. It broke with a loud crash. Lily gasped and dropped the sprinkles. They scattered all over the carpet. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Lily cried. "You broke the lamp! Mommy will be mad!" + +Ben felt sorry and scared. He didn't mean to break the lamp. He just wanted to make a cake. He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. Can we fix the lamp?" + +Lily shook her head. She didn't know how to fix the lamp. She looked at the mess and felt sad. She wished they had a real magic wand. She said, "Maybe we can hide the lamp. Maybe Mommy won't notice." + +They tried to hide the lamp under the sofa, but it was too big. They tried to hide it behind the curtains, but it was too bright. They tried to hide it under a blanket, but it was too hot. They ran out of ideas. + +They heard Mommy coming home. They looked at each other and gulped. They hoped Mommy would not be too mad. They hoped Mommy would still love them. They hoped Mommy would make them a real cake. +Tommy loves to play with his fireman toy. He likes to pretend he is a fireman and he can number the fires he puts out. He says, "One fire, two fires, three fires, all gone!" + +One day, he sees a real fireman outside his window. The fireman is wearing a big hat and a red coat. He has a hose and a truck. Tommy runs to the door and asks his mom, "Can I go see the fireman, please?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can, but be careful. The fireman is working hard. He is reliable. He helps people when there is a fire." + +Tommy and his mom go outside and wave to the fireman. The fireman smiles and says, "Hello, little fireman. Do you like my truck?" + +Tommy nods and says, "Yes, I do. It is big and shiny. How many fires do you put out?" + +The fireman says, "I put out many fires. Sometimes one, sometimes two, sometimes more. But I always try to be fast and safe. Do you want to see my hose?" + +Tommy says, "Yes, please. Can I hold it?" + +The fireman says, "Sure, but be careful. It is heavy and strong. You need to hold it with both hands." + +Tommy holds the hose and feels the water inside. He says, "Wow, this is cool. Thank you, fireman. You are reliable. You are my hero." + +The fireman says, "You are welcome, little fireman. You are brave and smart. Maybe one day you can be a real fireman too." +Lily and Max were playing knights and dragons in the garden. Lily had a big shield made of cardboard and Max had a toy sword. They pretended to fight the scary dragon that lived in the bushes. + +"Roar!" Max shouted, waving his sword. "I am the brave knight and I will save the princess!" + +"Help, help!" Lily cried, hiding behind her shield. "The dragon is too strong and scary!" + +But the dragon was not really scary. It was just their dog, Rex, who was lying in the shade. Rex was very tired and bored. He did not want to play knights and dragons. He wanted to sleep. + +Rex opened one eye and saw Max and Lily running towards him. He did not move. He just yawned loudly, showing his big teeth. + +"Look, the dragon is yawning!" Max said. "Maybe he is not so mean. Maybe he is just sleepy." + +"Maybe he wants to be our friend," Lily said. "Let's go and pet him." + +Max and Lily put down their sword and shield and walked slowly to Rex. Rex wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy to have some attention. + +"See, he is a nice dragon," Lily said. "He is very soft and warm." + +"He is very calm and gentle," Max said. "He is not a dragon. He is our dog." + +They hugged Rex and lay down next to him. They were tired too. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of knights and dragons and adventures. +Lily liked to play with her toys in her room. She had a doll, a car, a ball and a clock. The clock was her favorite toy. It was big and round and had numbers and hands. It made a tick-tock sound that Lily liked to hear. + +One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring her clock with her, but mom said no. She said the clock was too big and heavy to carry. She said Lily had to leave it in her room. Lily was sad, but she did what mom said. + +At the store, Lily saw many things. She saw fruits and vegetables and bread and milk. She saw clothes and shoes and books and toys. She saw a lot of people, too. Some of them were nice and some of them were not. Lily did not like the people who were not nice. They pushed and shouted and made Lily scared. + +Lily wanted to go back to her room. She wanted to play with her clock. She asked mom when they could go home. Mom said soon, but they had to buy some things first. Lily waited and waited. She was bored and tired. + +Finally, mom said they were done. They paid for their things and went to the car. Lily was happy. She was ready to return to her room and her clock. She hoped her clock was still there and still working. + +When they got home, Lily ran to her room. She looked for her clock. She found it on her bed. It was still big and round and had numbers and hands. It still made a tick-tock sound that Lily liked to hear. Lily hugged her clock. She was glad to see it. She thought it was the most attractive toy in the world. She played with it until it was time for dinner. She was happy. She loved her clock. +Anna and Ben like to play with their fish tank. They have many fish of different colors and sizes. They feed them every day and watch them swim and hide. + +One day, Anna and Ben see a fish that does not move. It is lying on the bottom of the tank. It is gray and has no eyes. Anna and Ben are sad and scared. + +"Ben, look! That fish is dead!" Anna says. + +"What is dead?" Ben asks. + +"Dead means it does not breathe or eat or swim anymore. It is gone forever." Anna says. + +"Why is it dead?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it was sick or old or hurt. We have to take it out of the tank." Anna says. + +Anna and Ben get a net and a bowl. They scoop the dead fish out of the water and put it in the bowl. They wipe their hands with a towel. They do not want to touch the dead fish. + +"Can we bury it in the garden?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, we can. We can say goodbye and thank you to the fish for being our friend." Anna says. + +Anna and Ben take the bowl to the garden. They dig a small hole and put the fish inside. They cover it with dirt and put a stone on top. They say a prayer and hug each other. + +"Bye, fish. We love you." Anna and Ben say. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with a swing and a slide. They also had a small pond with some fish and frogs. Lily and Tom loved to watch the animals and feed them bread crumbs. + +One day, they saw a big crack in the pond. The water was leaking out and the fish and frogs looked sad. Lily and Tom ran to their mom and told her what they saw. Mom said they had to fix the crack before the pond dried up. She gave them some clay and a bucket of water. + +Lily and Tom worked hard to fill the crack with clay. They used their hands and a stick to make it smooth and tight. They poured some water over it to make it wet and sticky. They hoped the clay would stop the leak and save the pond. + +When they finished, they went back to their mom. She had made them a delicious snack of cookies and milk. She praised them for being helpful and brave. She said they reminded her of herself and dad when they were little. Lily and Tom smiled and hugged their mom. They ate their snack and then ran back to the garden. They were happy to see the pond was full again and the fish and frogs were swimming and croaking. They played with them until it was time to go inside. They had a fun and busy day. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to watch TV after dinner. They watch funny shows and laugh a lot. Sometimes they watch scary shows and hide under a blanket. + +One night, they watch a show about monsters. The monsters have big teeth and claws. They roar and chase people. Lily and Ben are scared. They hold each other and shiver. + +"Ben, I don't like this show," Lily says. "Can we change it?" + +"OK, Lily," Ben says. He reaches for the remote. But the remote is not on the couch. He looks around. He can't find it. + +"Where is the remote?" Ben asks. "Did you see it?" + +Lily shakes her head. She doesn't know where the remote is. She thinks maybe it fell on the floor. She gets up and looks under the couch. She sees something shiny. She grabs it. It is not the remote. It is a spoon. + +"Ben, I found a spoon," Lily says. "But not the remote." + +Ben gets up and looks behind the couch. He sees something black. He thinks it is the remote. He reaches for it. It is not the remote. It is a sock. + +"Lily, I found a sock," Ben says. "But not the remote." + +Lily and Ben are confused. They don't understand where the remote is. They look at each other. They look at the TV. The monsters are still on the screen. They are still scary. + +Suddenly, the TV makes a loud noise. It goes off. The room is dark. Lily and Ben scream. + +"Mama! Papa!" they cry. "Help us!" + +Mama and Papa hear them. They run to the living room. They turn on the light. They see Lily and Ben on the couch. They see the spoon and the sock on the floor.

They are happy. +Lily and Anna are sisters. They like to play with dolls and books. One day, they hear a loud noise outside. It is a big storm. The wind is strong and the rain is heavy. + +Lily is scared. She runs to Anna and hugs her. "Sister, I don't like the storm. It is too loud and wet. Can we hide?" she says. + +Anna is calm. She knows the storm will not hurt them. She takes Lily's hand and leads her to their room. "Don't worry, sister. The storm is just water and air. It will go away soon. We can play in our room and be safe. Come on, let's close the door and make a fort with our blankets," she says. + +Lily and Anna close the door and build a cozy fort with their blankets and pillows. They bring their dolls and books inside. They pretend they are in a castle and have fun. They forget about the storm. + +After a while, the storm stops. The sun comes out and the sky is blue. Lily and Anna hear their mom calling them. "Girls, the storm is over. Do you want to come outside and see the rainbow?" she says. + +Lily and Anna smile. They leave their fort and open the door. They run to their mom and hug her. "Yes, mom, we want to see the rainbow. But first, can we say thank you to sister? She made me calm and happy when I was scared," Lily says. + +Anna hugs Lily back.

Tom has a red car and Sam has a blue truck. They race each other on the floor. Tom says, "My car is faster than your truck. I will win the race." Sam says, "No, my truck is stronger than your car. I will win the race." + +They zoom their toys around the room. They have fun. But then, they run out of fuel. Their cars and trucks stop and are quiet. Tom and Sam are sad. They want more fuel. They look at the big box of fuel. It is closed. They need to open it. + +Tom and Sam try to open the box. They pull and push and twist and turn. But the box is too hard to open. They cannot open it.

She sees the cars and trucks. She sees Tom and Sam crying and yelling. She says, "What is wrong, boys? Why are you so upset?" Tom and Sam say, "We want more fuel. We want to play. But we cannot open the box. The box is terrible. It is too hard to open." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Don't worry, boys. I can help you. The box is not terrible. It is just locked. You need a key to open it. I have the key. Here, let me open the box for you." She takes the key from her pocket. She puts it in the lock. She turns the key. She opens the box. She gives Tom and Sam more fuel for their cars and trucks. + +Tom and Sam are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. You opened the box. You gave us more fuel. Now we can play again."

It has a big sail and a flag. + +"Wow, look at that boat!" Sara says. + +"What is it?" Ben asks. + +"That is a yacht," their dad says. "It is a boat for sailing on the water. Some people live on yachts and travel to different places." + +"Can we go on the yacht?" Sara asks. + +"Sorry, no. The yacht belongs to someone else. We can only look at it from here," their dad says. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They want to go on the yacht and see what is inside. They think it must be fun and exciting. + +"Maybe we can learn how to sail a yacht someday," Ben says. + +"Yes, that would be cool," Sara says. + +They keep watching the yacht. It moves slowly on the water. The wind blows the sail. The flag flaps in the air. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is a horn. They see another boat coming. It is bigger and faster than the yacht. It has a lot of people on it. They are shouting and waving. + +"Look, it is a ferry!" their dad says. "It is a boat for carrying people and cars across the water. It goes to the island over there." + +The ferry gets closer to the yacht. The yacht tries to move away. But the ferry is too fast. It bumps into the yacht. The yacht tilts and shakes. The sail rips. The flag falls into the water. + +"Uh-oh, that is bad," their dad says. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They see the people on the yacht. They are wild. They scream and jump. They throw things at the ferry. They are angry and scared. + +"Are they okay?" Sara asks. + +"I hope so," their dad says. "They should call for help. The ferry should say sorry. That was a big mistake." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry for the people on the yacht. They think the ferry was mean and rude. They do not want to go on the ferry. They do not want to go on the yacht. They want to stay on the land with their dad. + +They learn that boats can be fun and exciting. But they can also be dangerous and scary. They decide to play with their toy boats instead. They are safe and happy. +Anna and Ben were having lunch with Grandma. Grandma made them soup and bread. Anna liked soup, but Ben did not. He wanted to eat something else. + +"Can I have cheese, Grandma?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben, you have to eat your soup. It is good for you," Grandma said. + +Ben frowned. He looked at his fork. He had an idea. He pretended to eat his soup, but he really bit his fork. He made a loud noise. + +"Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!" + +Anna and Grandma looked at him. They were surprised. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" Anna asked. + +"I am eating my fork. It is yummy," Ben said. + +"No, Ben, you can't eat your fork. It is not food. It is metal. It is ancient. It was Grandpa's fork. He used it when he was a boy. You will hurt your teeth," Grandma said. + +Ben stopped biting his fork. He felt sorry. He did not want to hurt his teeth or Grandma's fork. + +"I am sorry, Grandma. I was just playing. I will eat my soup now," Ben said. + +"That's good, Ben. I am glad you are sorry. Here, have some cheese too. But don't bite your fork again, okay?" Grandma said. + +"Okay, Grandma. Thank you for the cheese. And thank you for the ancient fork. It is very special," Ben said. + +Anna and Grandma smiled. They finished their lunch. They were happy. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big yellow truck near the fence. It had a long arm that could lift things. Lily wanted to see it better. She ran to the fence and pointed at the truck. + +"Look, Max, look! A yellow truck! It can move things up and down!" she shouted. + +Max followed her. He was not so sure about the truck. It looked scary to him. It had a loud noise and a big mouth. He stayed behind Lily and held her hand. + +"Be careful, Lily. The truck is scary. It might hurt you," he said. + +Lily did not listen. She wanted to touch the truck. She let go of Max's hand and climbed over the fence. She ran to the truck and reached for the long arm. + +"Stop, Lily, stop! Come back!" Max cried. + +But it was too late. The truck driver did not see Lily. He turned on the truck and moved the long arm. The arm swung towards Lily and hit her. Lily fell to the ground and screamed. + +Max was very scared. He ran to the fence and called for help. He saw a lady with a red hat. She was a nurse. She heard Max and came to him. + +"What's wrong, little boy? What happened?" she asked. + +Max pointed at the truck and Lily. He could not speak. He was too sad and scared. + +The nurse saw Lily and ran to her. She checked her and saw that she was hurt. She called for an ambulance and a police officer. She tried to calm Lily and Max. + +"Don't worry, children. You will be okay. The ambulance will take you to the hospital. The police officer will talk to the truck driver. He did not mean to hurt you. It was an accident," she said. + +Lily and Max cried. They wished they had not gone to the truck. They wished they had stayed on the swing. They learned a hard lesson. They should not go near scary things. They should listen to each other. They should be careful. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a big red ball and a small blue bike. They also have a watch. It is a yellow watch with a green frog on it. The watch can make sounds. It can say "ribbit" and "tick-tock". + +One day, Sara and Ben go to the park with their mom. They see a big swing. Sara wants to swing. She is eager to swing. She runs to the swing and sits on it. She says to Ben, "Push me, push me!" + +Ben pushes Sara on the swing. Sara goes up and down. She feels happy. She laughs and says, "Whee, whee!" + +Ben wants to swing too. He is eager to swing. He says to Sara, "My turn, my turn!" + +Sara says, "No, no, I want to swing more!" + +Ben says, "But I want to swing too!" + +They start to argue. They are not happy. They shout and cry. + +Their mom hears them. She comes to the swing. She says, "Stop, stop, what is wrong?" + +Sara and Ben say, "We both want to swing!" + +Their mom says, "You have to share. You can take turns. You can also play with the ball and the bike. And you can rock the watch. It will make sounds. It will be fun." + +Sara and Ben think. They say, "OK, OK, we will share. We will take turns. We will play with the ball and the bike. And we will rock the watch." + +They stop arguing. They start to play. They rock the watch. It says, "Ribbit, ribbit, tick-tock, tick-tock." They laugh and say, "Froggy, froggy, time, time." + +They are happy. They are friends. They have fun. +Anna liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a big suit in the closet and put it on. It was blue and had buttons and pockets. Anna looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She felt like a grown-up. + +She went to the living room where her dad was reading a book. She said, "Look, dad, I'm a suit person!" + +Her dad looked up and laughed. He said, "You are a very cute suit person, Anna. But your suit is too big for you. It drags on the floor and covers your hands. You might trip and fall." + +Anna frowned. She did not want to fall. She said, "How can I improve my suit, dad?" + +Her dad thought for a moment. He said, "Why don't you use some clips and pins to make it smaller? And maybe you can add some accessories, like a hat or a scarf or a necklace. That would make your suit more fun and colorful." + +Anna liked that idea. She said, "Okay, dad, I will do that. Can you help me?" + +Her dad nodded. He said, "Sure, Anna, I will help you. But first, let me finish this page. It's a very interesting book." + +Anna said, "What is your book about, dad?" + +Her dad said, "It's about animals that live in the jungle. Some of them are big and scary, like lions and tigers and crocodiles. But some of them are small and harmless, like monkeys and birds and frogs. They all have different ways of surviving and getting along." + +Anna said, "That sounds cool, dad. Can you read it to me later?" + +Her dad said, "Of course, Anna. I would love to read it to you later. But now, let's go and improve your suit. Come on, suit person!" +Lily and Tom are playing with a big box. They want to make a house with the box. But the box is too big for them to move. + +"Let's pull the box together," Tom says. "We are strong." + +They hold the box and pull hard. But the box does not move. They pull harder. But the box still does not move. + +"Maybe we can make the box smaller," Lily says. "We can tear off a piece of the box." + +She finds a corner of the box and pulls it. She pulls and pulls. She tears off a piece of the box. + +"Look, I did it!" Lily says. "I am strong." + +Tom sees the piece of the box. He wants to tear off a piece too. He finds another corner of the box and pulls it. He pulls and pulls. He tears off another piece of the box. + +"Me too!" Tom says. "I am strong too." + +They tear off more pieces of the box. They make the box smaller and smaller. They have fun with the pieces of the box. They make hats and swords and wings with the pieces of the box. + +They forget about the house. They are happy with the pieces of the box. They are strong. +Lily and Anna are sisters. They like to play in the garden. Sometimes they get wet from the sprinkler or the hose. Then they run inside and look for towels. + +One day, they play with water balloons. They throw them at each other and laugh. But they also get very wet. Their clothes are soaked and their hair is dripping. + +"Let's go inside and dry off," Lily says. + +"Okay," Anna says. + +They run inside and look for towels. But they cannot find any. All the towels are in the washing machine. + +"Oh no," Lily says. "What can we do?" + +They look around the house. They see a big blanket on the couch. It is soft and warm. + +"Maybe we can use this," Anna says. + +She takes the blanket and wraps it around herself and Lily. They snuggle together on the couch. The blanket helps them dry off. + +"Thank you, Anna," Lily says. "You are a good sister." + +Anna smiles. She is grateful for Lily too. + +They hug each other and feel cozy. They are happy. They are sisters. +Tom and Ann are hungry. They want to eat soup for lunch. Mom is in the kitchen. She has a big pot of soup on the stove. She says, "Soup is almost ready. Can you help me set the table?" + +Tom and Ann nod. They go to the cupboard. They take out two bowls and two spoons. They carry them to the table. They are careful not to drop them. + +Mom turns off the stove. She gets a ladle. She says, "Be careful, the soup is hot. I will load the bowls for you." She fills the bowls with soup. She puts them on the table. She says, "There you go. Enjoy your soup." + +Tom and Ann say, "Thank you, Mom." They sit down. They blow on the soup to cool it. They taste the soup. It is yummy. They say, "Mmm, this soup is good. You are the best, Mom." + +Mom smiles. She says, "You are welcome, Tom and Ann. I'm glad you like the soup. You are the best, too." She sits down. She eats her soup with them. They have a happy lunch. +Tim and Lily were playing hide and seek in the park. Tim was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran behind a big tree and waited for Tim to find her. She was very quiet and still. + +Tim looked around the park and tried to guess where Lily was. He saw a slide, a swing, a bench, and a fountain, but no Lily. He sighed and said, "Where are you, Lily? I can't find you!" + +Lily giggled and peeked out from behind the tree. She saw something big and gray walking towards the fountain. It had a long nose and a horn on its head. It was a rhinoceros! + +Lily was scared and curious at the same time. She whispered, "Tim, look! There is a rhinoceros in the park!" + +Tim heard Lily's voice and turned around. He saw the rhinoceros too and his eyes widened. He said, "Wow! How did it get here? It must have escaped from the zoo!" + +Lily and Tim came out from their hiding places and ran towards the rhinoceros. They wanted to see it closer and touch it. But the rhinoceros saw them and snorted. It did not like strangers. It charged at them and made a loud noise. + +Lily and Tim were frightened and ran away. They hid behind the bench and hoped the rhinoceros would not find them. They hugged each other and said, "That was not a good idea. Let's stay hidden until the rhinoceros goes away!" +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big blue ball. They want to play with it. + +"Can we have the ball?" Tom asks a boy who has the ball. + +"No, it is mine. Go away!" the boy says. He is mean. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They look for another toy. They find a flexible rope. They can make shapes with it. + +"Look, I can make a circle!" Mia says. She bends the rope. + +"I can make a snake!" Tom says. He twists the rope. + +They have fun with the rope. They gain a new toy. They are happy. They forget about the ball. + +The boy who has the ball sees them. He is bored. He wants to play with the rope. + +"Can I have the rope?" he asks Tom and Mia. + +"No, it is ours. Go away!" they say. They are not mean. They are fair. + +The boy is sad. He learns a lesson. He should share his toys. He should be nice. +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing with a long chain. They want to try it. + +"Can I go first?" Tim asks. + +"OK, but be careful," Sue says. + +Tim sits on the swing and holds the chain. He pushes with his feet and goes higher and higher. He feels happy and brave. + +"Look at me, Sue! I am flying!" he shouts. + +Sue claps her hands and smiles. She waits for her turn. + +But then, Tim sees a big tree in front of him. He is going too fast and too high. He is scared. He wants to stop. + +"Help, Sue! Help!" he cries. + +Sue is intelligent. She knows what to do. She runs to the swing and grabs the chain. She pulls it down and slows the swing. Tim stops near the ground. He jumps off and hugs Sue. + +"Thank you, Sue! You saved me!" he says. + +"You're welcome, Tim. You are my friend," Sue says. + +They are both happy and safe. They decide to play something else. They find a ball and a slide. They have fun in the park. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. Sometimes, they also play with their dad's computer. Dad says they can only play when he is with them. + +One day, Dad shows them a new game on the computer. He says it is about animals and colors. He loads the game and gives them the mouse. Anna and Ben are excited. They want to see the animals and colors. + +"Look, Ben, a red bird!" Anna says, pointing at the screen. + +"Wow, and a blue fish!" Ben says, clicking on the fish. + +The game makes funny sounds and shows more animals and colors. Anna and Ben laugh and clap. They think the game is incredible. They want to play more. + +Dad smiles and watches them. He is happy that they like the game. He says they can play for a little while, but then they have to do something else. + +"Okay, Dad," Anna and Ben say. They say thank you to the computer and the game. They give Dad a hug and a kiss. They are good twins. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys and bubbles. But they are also competitive. They want to have more toys and bubbles than the other. + +One day, they are in the bath. Tom sees a big bottle of shampoo. He wants to use it to make more bubbles. He grabs the bottle and squeezes it hard. But the shampoo is slippery. The bottle flies out of his hand and hits Mia in the face. + +"Ow! That hurts!" Mia cries. She feels the shampoo in her eyes. It stings and burns. She is angry at Tom. She thinks he did it on purpose. She reaches for the bottle and slaps Tom with it. + +"Stop it! That's not fair!" Tom shouts. He feels the bottle on his head. It hurts and makes a loud noise. He is angry at Mia. He thinks she is mean. He slaps her back with his hand. + +They slap each other harder and harder. They forget about the toys and bubbles. They only want to hurt each other. They scream and cry. They make a big mess. + +Their mom hears the noise. She runs to the bathroom. She sees Tom and Mia slapping each other. She sees the shampoo all over the floor and the walls. She is shocked and angry. She turns off the water and grabs them both. + +"What are you doing? How could you be so naughty?" she scolds them. She takes them out of the bath. She dries them and puts them in their pajamas. She does not give them any hugs or kisses. She does not read them a story. She sends them to bed without dinner. + +Tom and Mia are sad and sorry. They wish they had not been so competitive. They wish they had shared the shampoo and played nicely. They hug each other and say sorry. But it is too late. They have to sleep with empty stomachs and sore faces. They have a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a big wolf with gray fur and yellow eyes. The wolf was gazing at them from behind a tree. + +"Look, a wolf!" Lily said. "Let's go and pet it!" + +"No, Lily, that's a bad idea!" Ben said. "Wolves are wild and can bite us. We should run away!" + +But Lily did not listen to Ben. She walked slowly towards the wolf, holding out her hand. The wolf growled and showed its teeth. + +"Please, don't hurt me, Mr. Wolf," Lily said. "I just want to be your friend." + +The wolf was surprised by Lily's words. He had never met a human who was not afraid of him. He stopped growling and gazed at Lily with curiosity. + +"Why do you want to be my friend?" the wolf asked. "Humans usually hate me and try to hurt me." + +Lily smiled and said, "Because you are beautiful and lonely. And I think you are wise and know many things about the woods." + +The wolf felt a strange warmth in his heart. He had never heard such kind words from a human. He decided to give Lily a chance. + +"Maybe you are right," the wolf said. "Maybe we can be friends. But you have to promise me something. You have to respect me and my family, and never try to harm us. And you have to listen to your brother, who is smart and cares about you." + +Lily nodded and said, "I promise, Mr. Wolf. And you have to promise me something too. You have to be gentle and loyal, and never try to harm me or my brother. And you have to teach us some things about the woods." + +The wolf nodded and said, "I promise, Lily. Come, let me show you my den and my cubs. They will like you too." + +Lily and Ben followed the wolf to his home. They became friends and learned a lot from each other. They also learned to trust and respect each other, even though they were different. + +The moral of the story is: Friendship can be found in unexpected places, if we are brave and kind. We should not judge others by their appearance, but by their character. And we should listen to those who love us and want the best for us. +Ben loves rockets. He has many rockets in his room. He likes to play with them and make them fly in the air. He dreams of going to the moon one day. + +One day, he finds a big box in the garden. It has a picture of a rocket on it. He is very happy and curious. He opens the box and sees a shiny red rocket inside. It looks like a real rocket, but smaller. He wants to try it. + +He takes the rocket out of the box and puts it on the ground. He sees a button on the rocket. He pushes the button and hears a loud noise. The rocket starts to smoke and move. Ben is scared and excited. He runs after the rocket. + +The rocket flies very fast and high. It goes over the fence and into the woods. Ben follows it. He wants to see where it goes. He runs and runs until he sees the rocket land in a clearing. He sees something else in the clearing. It is a big, round, silver thing. It looks like a flying saucer. It is mysterious. + +Ben walks towards the flying saucer. He sees a door open and a green creature come out. The creature has big eyes, a long nose and a small mouth. It sees Ben and smiles. It says something in a strange language. Ben does not understand. He is afraid and curious. + +The creature holds out a hand and gives Ben something. It is a small, purple, round thing. It looks like a candy. The creature says something again and points to its mouth. It wants Ben to eat it. Ben is hungry and curious. He takes the candy and puts it in his mouth. He tastes it. It is sweet and sour and fizzy. It is yummy. Ben smiles and says thank you. The creature smiles and says something back. It is friendly. Ben is happy and curious. He wants to learn more. He goes inside the flying saucer with the creature. They have a fun and mysterious adventure. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big gray bird on a tree. They wanted to say hello to the bird. + +"Hello, bird!" Tom said. "What is your name?" + +The bird did not say anything. It looked at Tom and Lily with its small black eyes. + +"Maybe the bird is shy," Lily said. "Let's give it some bread. Maybe it will like us then." + +Tom and Lily broke some bread from their lunch and threw it to the bird. The bird flew down and ate the bread. It made a loud noise. + +"Thank you, bird!" Tom and Lily said. "Do you like the bread?" + +The bird did not say thank you. It made a sour face. It spit out the bread. It flew away. + +"Hey, that was not nice!" Tom said. "The bread was good. Why did the bird do that?" + +Lily shrugged. "Maybe the bird did not like the bread. Maybe it likes something else." + +Tom and Lily looked around. They saw some berries on a bush. They picked some berries and threw them to the bird. + +The bird flew back and ate the berries. It made a happy noise. It smiled at Tom and Lily. + +"Hello, bird!" Tom and Lily said again. "Do you like the berries?" + +The bird nodded. It said something in its own language. It sounded like "chirp, chirp, chirp". + +Tom and Lily smiled. They did not understand what the bird said, but they knew it was friendly. They played with the bird until it was time to go home. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to chase it. + +One time, the ball rolled out of the park and onto the street. The street was busy with cars and bikes and people. Lily and Tom wanted to get their ball back, but they knew they had to be careful. + +They waited for the cars and bikes to stop at the red light. Then they ran across the street to get their ball. But when they got to the other side, they saw a big dog. The dog saw the ball and wanted to play too. It ran towards the ball and grabbed it with its mouth. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Lily shouted. "Give it back!" + +The dog did not listen. It wagged its tail and ran away with the ball. Lily and Tom ran after the dog, but they could not catch it. The dog was too fast and too smart. It dodged the cars and bikes and people. It turned left and right and crossed the street again. + +Lily and Tom were confused. They did not know where the dog went. They looked around and saw that they were far from the park. They did not know how to get back. They felt scared and sad. + +They saw a pond with ducks and swans. They thought maybe the dog went there. They walked towards the pond, hoping to find their ball. But when they got there, they saw something else. They saw the dog, but it was not playing with the ball. It was diving into the water and swimming with the ducks and swans. It looked happy and free. + +Lily and Tom were surprised. They did not know that dogs could dive and swim. They watched the dog for a while. They saw that it was not mean. It was just playful. They felt a little less sad and a little more curious. + +They decided to wait for the dog to come out of the water. Maybe they could make friends with it. Maybe they could get their ball back. Maybe they could have a new adventure. +Lily loved pears. She ate one every day after lunch. She liked how they were sweet and juicy and soft. She had a special pear bowl in the kitchen where she kept her pears. + +One day, Lily came home from the park with her mom. She was hungry and wanted a pear. She ran to the kitchen and looked for her pear bowl. But it was empty. There were no pears left. Lily felt sad and angry. She missed her pears. + +"Mom, where are my pears?" she asked. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, we ran out of pears. I forgot to buy more at the store. We can go tomorrow and get some, okay?" her mom said. + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to wait until tomorrow. She wanted a pear now. She started to cry. + +"Please don't cry, Lily. I have something else for you. Look, I made you a pear cake. It has pears and sugar and flour and eggs. It smells good and tastes even better. Do you want a slice?" her mom said. + +Lily stopped crying and looked at the cake. It was round and brown and had little pieces of pear on top. It did smell good. Maybe it would taste like pears too. + +"Okay, I'll try it," she said. + +Her mom cut a slice and gave it to her. Lily took a bite. It was sweet and juicy and soft. It was like eating a pear, but better. Lily smiled and ate more. She forgot about her missing pears. She was happy. + +"Mom, this is the best cake ever. Thank you," she said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it. I love you," her mom said. + +"I love you too, mom. And I love pear cake," Lily said. +Tim and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big castle made of sand. It had towers, walls, and flags. It was very impressive. + +"Wow, look at that castle!" Tim said. "Who made it?" + +"I don't know," Mia said. "Maybe someone else who likes to play here." + +"Can we play with it?" Tim asked. "It looks so fun." + +Mia nodded. "Yes, let's play with it. We can pretend we are the king and the queen of the castle." + +They ran to the castle and started to explore it. They climbed the towers, walked on the walls, and waved the flags. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a voice. It was angry and loud. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" the voice said. "That's my castle! You can't play with it!" + +Tim and Mia looked around. They saw a boy standing near them. He had a bucket and a shovel in his hands. He looked very mad. + +"Your castle?" Tim said. "We didn't know. We're sorry." + +"Yeah, sorry," Mia said. "We just wanted to play with it. It's very impressive." + +The boy frowned. "Well, you can't play with it. It's mine. I made it. I own it. Go away!" + +Tim and Mia felt sad. They liked the castle, but they didn't want to make the boy angry. They decided to leave. + +"Okay, okay, we're going," Tim said. "Come on, Mia. Let's go play somewhere else." + +They walked away from the castle. They looked for another place to play. They hoped they would find something as fun and impressive as the castle. +Tom and Lily were on a trip with their mom and dad. They stayed in a big hotel with many rooms and a pool. One day, they wanted to go to the park near the hotel. Mom and dad said they could go, but they had to be careful and stay together. + +They walked to the park and saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They ran to the slide and took turns going down. It was fun and fast. Then they went to the swing and pushed each other. They felt like they were flying. They laughed and shouted. + +But then they saw a big dog. It was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It barked and growled at them. It looked dangerous. They were scared and did not know what to do. They ran to the sandbox and hid behind a pile of sand. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "There is a big dog and it is dangerous!" + +Mom and dad heard them and came running. They saw the dog and shooed it away. They hugged Tom and Lily and said they were brave. + +"Are you okay?" mom asked. + +"Yes, we are okay," Tom said. + +"Can we go back to the hotel?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, let's go back to the hotel," dad said. "We can have some ice cream and watch a movie." + +They walked back to the hotel, holding hands. They were happy and safe. They learned to be careful in the park. They loved their mom and dad. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with paper and glue. They find a big newspaper in the bin. They want to make something with it. + +"Let's attach the paper and make a hat!" Lily says. + +"OK, I will cut the paper with scissors. You get the glue," Max says. + +They cut and glue the paper. They make two hats. They put them on their heads. They look funny. + +"Look at us! We are newspaper hats!" Lily says. + +They run around the house. They are playful. They pretend to be reporters. They ask their mom and dad questions. + +"Mom, what are you cooking for dinner?" Max asks. + +"Dad, what are you reading on the laptop?" Lily asks. + +Their mom and dad smile. They play along. + +"I am cooking pasta for dinner. Do you like pasta?" Mom asks. + +"I am reading about the weather. It will be sunny tomorrow. Do you like sunny days?" Dad asks. + +"Yes, we like pasta and sunny days!" Lily and Max say. + +They hug their mom and dad. They are happy. They like to play with paper and glue. They like to be newspaper hats. +Sara and Ben are twins. They share a room and a bed. They sleep on a big mattress that is soft and warm. But Sara and Ben do not like to share. They want to own their own mattress. They fight every night about who gets more space and who gets the best pillow. + +One day, their mom and dad have a surprise for them. They take them to a store that has many mattresses. They tell Sara and Ben that they can each choose their own mattress. Sara and Ben are very happy. They run around the store and try different mattresses. Sara likes a pink mattress that has flowers on it. Ben likes a blue mattress that has cars on it. They tell their mom and dad which ones they want. + +Mom and dad buy the mattresses and take them home. They put them in Sara and Ben's room. They help them make their beds with new sheets and blankets. Sara and Ben are very excited. They thank their mom and dad and give them hugs and kisses. They can't wait to sleep on their own mattresses. + +That night, Sara and Ben go to bed early. They snuggle in their own mattresses. They feel cozy and comfy. They say good night to each other and turn off the light. But then, they feel something strange. They feel lonely and scared. They miss each other. They miss sharing their bed. They wish they could be together. + +They get out of their mattresses and crawl into each other's. They hug and whisper. They say they are sorry for fighting. They say they love each other. They say they don't need to own their own mattresses. They are happy to share. They fall asleep with smiles on their faces. +Tim and Lily were playing in the yard when they saw big dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise like a train. Mom came out and said, "We need to go inside now. There is a hurricane coming. It is very strong and can break things and hurt people." + +Tim and Lily ran to the house with Mom. They grabbed their toys and blankets. Mom locked the door and closed the windows. She said, "We have to stay in the basement until the hurricane is over. It is the safest place in the house." + +Tim and Lily were scared. They heard the wind howling and the rain pounding. They hugged Mom and each other. Tim said, "I don't like hurricanes. They are stupid and mean." + +Lily said, "Me neither. They make me sad and angry. Why do they have to come and ruin our fun?" + +Mom said, "Hurricanes are not stupid or mean. They are just part of nature. They happen when the air and the water get very hot and move very fast. They don't mean to hurt anyone. They just don't know any better." + +Tim and Lily looked at Mom. They did not understand how the air and the water could get hot and move fast. They did not understand how the hurricane did not know any better. They just wanted it to stop and go away. + +Mom said, "I know it is hard to understand. But we have to be brave and patient. The hurricane will not last forever. It will pass and the sun will come out again. We have each other and we have love. That is what we need the most." +Lily was a brave girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a telephone. She liked to pretend that she was talking to her friends on the telephone. She would say hello, how are you, and what are you doing. + +One day, she heard a loud noise outside. She looked out the window and saw a big truck. The truck was carrying a lot of boxes. She wondered what was in the boxes. She wanted to see them. + +She put down her telephone and ran to the door. She opened the door and entered the yard. She saw the truck driver. He was taking the boxes out of the truck and putting them on the ground. He looked busy and tired. + +Lily walked up to him and said hello. He smiled and said hello back. He asked her what her name was. She said Lily. He said his name was Tom. He asked her if she liked trucks. She said yes. He asked her if she wanted to see what was in the boxes. She said yes. + +He opened one of the boxes and showed her. It was full of books. He said they were for the library. He said he liked books. He asked her if she liked books. She said yes. He gave her a book and said she could keep it. She said thank you. + +She looked at the book and saw a picture of a lion. She liked lions. She said they were brave. He said she was brave too. He said he had to go and deliver the rest of the books. He said goodbye and got back in the truck. She said goodbye and waved. + +She entered the house and ran to her room. She picked up her telephone and called her friend. She told her about the truck, the boxes, the books and the lion. She said she was happy and brave. She said she loved books. She said she loved trucks. She said she loved Tom. She said she loved her friend. She said goodbye and hung up. + +She hugged her book and smiled. She was a brave girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a telephone. She liked to pretend that she was talking to her friends on the telephone. She would say hello, how are you, and what are you doing. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and blocks. One day, Lily got a new doll from her grandma. It was big and pretty and had long hair. Lily was very happy and showed it to Max. + +Max looked at the new doll and felt jealous. He wanted a new toy too. He had an old car that was broken and dirty. He said to Lily, "Your doll is ugly and stupid. I don't want to play with you anymore." He grabbed his car and ran away. + +Lily was sad and confused. She did not understand why Max was so mean. She liked her new doll, but she liked Max more. She wanted to play with him and share her doll. She ran after him and said, "Max, please don't be mad. I'm sorry if you don't like my doll. You can play with it too. You are still my best friend." + +Max stopped and looked at Lily. He saw that she was crying and felt sorry. He realized that he was being selfish and rude. He said to Lily, "I'm sorry too. I was jealous of your doll. It is not ugly or stupid. It is very nice. You are very nice too. You are still my best friend." + +Lily smiled and hugged Max. She said, "Thank you, Max. I'm happy that you are not mad anymore. Do you want to play with my doll and your car together?" Max nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, I do. That sounds fun." He took Lily's hand and they walked back to their toys. They played happily and shared their toys. They learned to accept each other and their differences. They were best friends. +Sara and Ben were bored. They wanted to play outside, but Mom said no. Mom had to give a lecture on the computer. A lecture is when you talk to many people about something you know. Mom knew a lot about stars and planets. She said her lecture was very important and impressive. Impressive is when something is very good and makes people say wow. + +Sara and Ben did not care about stars and planets. They cared about swings and slides. They saw the sun shining through the window. They saw the birds singing in the tree. They saw the keys on the table. The keys could unlock the door. Unlock is when you make something open that was closed. + +Sara had an idea. She whispered to Ben, "Let's take the keys and go outside. Mom will not see us. We can play for a little while and come back before she is done." + +Ben nodded. He liked Sara's idea. He was tired of staying inside. He wanted to have fun. He followed Sara to the table. They grabbed the keys and ran to the door. They put the keys in the hole and turned them. The door unlocked. They opened the door and ran outside. + +They did not see Mom behind them. Mom had finished her lecture early. She was proud of herself. She wanted to hug Sara and Ben and tell them how well she did. She saw them take the keys and unlock the door. She was angry and scared. She shouted, "Sara! Ben! Stop! Come back here right now!" + +Sara and Ben heard Mom's voice. They stopped and turned around. They saw Mom's face. She looked very mad. They knew they were in trouble. They dropped the keys and ran back to Mom. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We just wanted to play outside. We did not mean to be bad." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I know you did not mean to be bad, but you were very naughty. You could have gotten hurt or lost. You should never go outside without asking me. You should never take the keys without permission. You should listen to me when I tell you something. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. We love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too. But you have to promise me you will not do that again. And you have to stay in your room for a while. That is your punishment. Maybe you can read a book or draw a picture. But no more playing outside today." + +Sara and Ben said, "OK, Mom. We promise. We will stay in our room. We will be good." + +Mom said, "Good. Now go to your room and think about what you did. And maybe later, I can show you some pictures of stars and planets. They are very impressive. You might like them." + +Sara and Ben said, "OK, Mom. Maybe we will like them. Bye, Mom." + +They went to their room and closed the door. They felt sorry for what they did. They hoped Mom was not too mad at them. They hoped they could play outside tomorrow. They hoped they could see some impressive stars and planets with Mom. They learned a lesson. They learned to not unlock the door without Mom. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big maze made of hedges. They wanted to go inside and find the way out. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Max said. "It will be fun!" + +"OK, Max, but be careful. Don't get lost," Lily said. + +They stepped into the maze and followed the paths. They turned left and right and left again. They saw many flowers and birds and bugs. They laughed and talked. + +But soon they realized they did not know where they were. They could not see the entrance or the exit. They were stuck in the maze. + +"Max, I'm scared. How do we get out?" Lily said. + +"I don't know, Lily. I'm sorry. I should have paid attention to the signs," Max said. + +They started to cry. They felt alone and helpless. + +Then they heard a gentle voice. It was a lady who worked in the park. She had a map of the maze. + +"Hello, children. Are you lost?" she asked. + +"Yes, we are. Can you help us?" Lily and Max said. + +"Of course, I can. Follow me. I'll show you the way out," she said. + +She took their hands and led them through the maze. She pointed out the signs and the landmarks. She explained how to find the clues and the directions. + +Soon they reached the exit. They saw their parents waiting for them. They hugged them and thanked the lady. + +"Thank you, lady. You are very kind," Lily and Max said. + +"You're welcome, children. I'm glad you're safe. But remember, next time you play in the maze, be more careful and pay attention to the signs. They will help you find the way out," she said. + +Lily and Max nodded. They learned their lesson. They were happy to be out of the maze. They decided to play something else. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park. But sometimes they fought over toys and games. + +One day, they found a big twig on the ground. It looked like a sword. Tom picked it up and said, "This is mine. I am the king. You are my servant." + +Sam did not like that. He wanted to play with the twig too. He said, "No, you are not the king. You are a bully. Give me the twig." + +Tom and Sam started to pull the twig. They both wanted it. They did not share. They did not listen. They shouted and pushed. + +Then, the twig broke in half. It made a loud snap. Tom and Sam stopped. They looked at the broken twig. They felt sad. They felt guilty. They had ruined their fun. + +They looked at each other. They said, "I'm sorry. I was mean. I don't hate you. You are my brother. I love you." + +They hugged and made up. They decided to use the two pieces of the twig as wands. They pretended to be wizards. They had fun. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the rain. They wear boots and coats and hats. They splash in the puddles and laugh. + +"Look, Lily, a drain!" Ben says. He points to a big hole in the street. Water goes down the hole. "I want to see what is inside." + +"No, Ben, don't go near the drain!" Lily says. She is scared. She thinks the drain is dark and deep and wild. She thinks something bad might live in the drain. "Come back, Ben, come back!" + +But Ben does not listen. He runs to the drain. He stands on the edge. He leans over. He tries to see what is inside. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily shouts. She runs after him. She grabs his hand. She pulls him back. She hugs him tight. + +"Sorry, Lily, I was curious," Ben says. He is sorry. He did not mean to scare Lily. He loves Lily. He is glad she saved him. + +"It's okay, Ben, I love you," Lily says. She is happy. She is glad Ben is safe. She loves Ben. She smiles at him. + +They hold hands and walk back to their house. They are wet and muddy and happy. They are twins. They are best friends. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big pile of bricks near their house. They thought it would be fun to build a wall with the bricks. + +"Let's make a wall here," Ben said, pointing to a spot near the road. "We can pretend it is our castle." + +"I don't know," Sam said, feeling worried. "That is too close to the road. What if a car comes and hits our wall?" + +"Don't be silly," Ben said. "No car will come here. It is too quiet. Come on, help me carry the bricks." + +Sam did not want to make Ben angry, so he helped him carry the bricks. They stacked them up high and wide, making a wall that blocked the road. + +They were very proud of their wall. They sat behind it and pretended to be kings. + +"Look at our wall," Ben said. "It is the best wall ever. No one can break it." + +Suddenly, they heard a loud honk. They looked up and saw a big truck coming towards their wall. The truck driver did not see the wall until it was too late. He tried to stop, but he could not. + +The truck crashed into the wall, making a loud noise and a big mess. The bricks flew everywhere, hitting the truck, the road, and the boys. + +Ben and Sam were hurt by the bricks. They cried and screamed. Their mom heard them and ran outside. She saw the truck, the wall, and the boys. She was very scared and angry. + +She called the ambulance and the police. They came and took the boys to the hospital. They also talked to the truck driver, who was not hurt, but very sorry. + +Ben and Sam had to stay in the hospital for a long time. They had many cuts and bruises. They also had to say sorry to the truck driver, the police, and their mom. + +They learned a hard lesson. They should have listened to Sam, who was worried. They should not have built a wall near the road. They should have played somewhere safe. + +The moral of the story is: You should not play with things that are dangerous. You should listen to your feelings and your friends. You should do what is right and safe. +Lily liked to bake with her mom. They made cakes and pies and cookies. Lily liked to stir and pour and taste. She wore a big apron and a fake hat. The hat was like the one her mom had, but it was made of paper and had hair on it. Lily thought it was funny. + +One day, Lily and her mom baked a big cake for dad's birthday. They put eggs and milk and flour and sugar in a bowl. They mixed it well and poured it in a pan. They put it in the oven and waited. Lily smelled the cake and it smelled good. + +When the cake was done, they took it out and let it cool. Then they put frosting and sprinkles and candles on it. Lily helped her mom write "Happy Birthday Dad" with a tube of icing. She made the letters big and bright. She was proud of her work. + +They put the cake on a plate and hid it in the fridge. They waited for dad to come home. When he did, they surprised him with the cake and sang "Happy Birthday". Dad was happy and hugged them. He said the cake looked delicious and thanked them. He cut a slice and gave it to Lily. She ate it and smiled. It was yummy. + +Lily liked to bake with her mom. It was fun and sweet. She liked to make dad happy. She liked to wear her fake hat with hair. She was a good baker. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a big box under a tree. It was brown and had a red ribbon on it. + +"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a present for someone," Tom said. + +They ran to the box and tried to open it. But it was locked with a padlock. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. + +"Who do you think put it here?" Lily wondered. + +"Maybe it is a mystery. Maybe someone wants us to find the key and see what is inside," Tom said. + +They decided to look around the park for clues. They asked the birds, the squirrels, and the dogs, but none of them knew anything. They looked under the swings, the slide, and the bench, but they could not find anything. + +They were about to give up when they saw a shiny thing in the pond. It was a key! They got a stick and fished it out. It was wet and cold. + +"Let's try it on the box," Lily said. + +They ran back to the box and put the key in the padlock. It clicked and opened. They lifted the lid and gasped. + +Inside the box, there was a big cake with candles and a sign that said "Happy Birthday, Lily and Tom!" + +They looked at each other and smiled. They had the same birthday! + +They heard a voice behind them. It was their mom and dad. They had planned a surprise party for them. + +"Happy birthday, sweeties!" they said. "We hope you liked the mystery." + +Lily and Tom hugged them and thanked them. They were so happy. They shared the cake with their friends and had an amazing time. They never forgot the day they solved the mystery of the box. +Lily had a loose tooth. She wanted it to fall out soon. She heard that the tooth fairy would come and give her a coin. She was excited. + +One day, she was eating an apple. She bit hard and felt something move. She looked at the apple and saw her tooth. She was happy. She ran to show her mom. + +"Mom, look! My tooth came out!" she said. + +"Wow, that's great, Lily! You are a big girl now. Do you know what to do with your tooth?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, I put it under my pillow. Then the tooth fairy will come at night and take it. And she will leave me a coin!" Lily said. + +"That's right. But you have to be very quiet and close your eyes when you go to bed. The tooth fairy is shy and doesn't like noise. Can you do that?" her mom said. + +"Yes, I can. I will be very quiet and close my eyes. I want to see the coin in the morning!" Lily said. + +That night, Lily brushed her teeth and put her tooth under her pillow. She hugged her mom and said good night. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. She wondered what the coin would look like. + +She heard a soft sound. She opened her eyes a little. She saw a tiny fairy with wings and a wand. She was holding her tooth. She smiled and waved at Lily. She put a shiny coin under her pillow. She flew away. + +Lily was amazed. She saw the tooth fairy. She was real. She closed her eyes again and smiled. She was grateful. She fell asleep. She dreamed of the coin and the fairy. She was happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They are three years old today. They are very happy. They want to celebrate their birthday. + +They put on their party hats and blow their horns. They look at each other and smile. They look at the mirror and see their faces. They are good and pretty. + +"Happy birthday, Lily!" Ben says. + +"Happy birthday, Ben!" Lily says. + +They hug and kiss. They are very sweet. + +Mom and Dad come in with a big cake. It has three candles on it. One for Lily, one for Ben, and one for both. They light the candles and sing "Happy Birthday". + +Lily and Ben clap their hands and make a wish. They blow out the candles together. They cut the cake and share it. It is yummy and chocolatey. + +They open their presents and play with their toys. They have a lot of fun. They are very lucky. + +They thank Mom and Dad for the cake and the presents. They say they love them very much. + +They are very tired. They go to bed and cuddle. They dream of their next birthday. They are very happy. +Sara liked to play with rocks. She had many rocks in her room. Big rocks, small rocks, shiny rocks, smooth rocks. She liked to look at them and touch them and make shapes with them. She had a special rock that was her favorite. It was round and white and had a hole in it. She called it her moon rock. + +One day, Sara went to the park with her mom. She saw a big pile of rocks near the slide. She ran to the pile and started to dig. She wanted to find more moon rocks. She dug and dug and dug. She found many rocks, but none like her moon rock. She was sad. + +Then, she saw something in the dirt. It was not a rock. It was soft and brown and had hair on it. It looked like skin. Sara was curious. She pulled on it and it came out. It was a big piece of skin with a bone inside. Sara was scared. She dropped it and screamed. + +Mom heard Sara scream and ran to her. She saw the skin and the bone and gasped. She picked up Sara and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Sara. It's just an old animal. It's not alive. It can't hurt you." + +Sara looked at the skin and the bone. She did not like them. They were unknown and scary. She said, "Mom, can we go home? I want my moon rock." + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, Sara. Let's go home. You can play with your moon rock and forget about this. It was just a bad surprise." + +They left the park and went home. Sara played with her moon rock and felt better. She did not want to play with rocks at the park anymore. She only wanted to play with her own rocks. She loved her moon rock. It was her best friend. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the water. They have a big pool in their backyard. Their mom says they can swim after lunch. + +"Can we swim now, mom?" Lila asks. + +"Yes, you can. But be careful and don't splash too much. And don't forget your towels," mom says. + +Lila and Ben run to the pool. They put on their swimsuits and jump in. The water is cold and fun. They splash and laugh and swim. + +But mom has a problem. She is deaf. She can't hear Lila and Ben. She can only see them. She watches them from the window. She wants them to be safe and happy. + +Sometimes, Lila and Ben forget that mom is deaf. They try to talk to her from the pool. They shout and wave. But mom can't hear them. She can only see them. + +"Mom, look at me! I can swim like a fish!" Lila says. + +"Mom, look at me! I can dive like a dolphin!" Ben says. + +But mom can't hear them. She can only see them. She smiles and nods. She is proud of them. + +Lila and Ben swim for a long time. They get tired and cold. They want to get out of the pool. They look for their towels. But they can't find them. + +"Where are our towels, Lila?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe mom took them inside," Lila says. + +They get out of the pool. They are wet and shivering. They run to the window. They try to talk to mom. + +"Mom, where are our towels?" Lila says. + +"Mom, we are cold and wet!" Ben says. + +But mom can't hear them. She can only see them. She thinks they are still playing. She smiles and waves. She doesn't know they need their towels. + +Lila and Ben are confused and sad. They don't understand why mom doesn't help them. They don't know what to do. + +They hug each other and wait. They hope mom will see them and bring them their towels. They hope mom will permit them to come inside and get warm. They hope mom will understand them and love them. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big chair in the attic. It was old and dusty, but it had a red cushion and a golden crown on top. + +"This is a throne!" Anna said. "I am the queen and you are my servant. You have to do what I say." + +"No, I don't!" Ben said. "This is a rocket! I am the astronaut and you are the alien. You have to go away." + +They both wanted the chair for their game. They started to pull and push each other. The chair wobbled and creaked. + +"Stop it!" a voice said. "You are making too much noise." + +They looked up and saw their grandpa. He was jolly and kind. He smiled at them and said, "What are you doing here?" + +"We found this chair, grandpa," Anna said. "It is a throne for a queen." + +"No, it is a rocket for an astronaut," Ben said. + +Grandpa laughed and said, "Well, you both have good imaginations. But you know, this chair is very special. It belonged to your great-grandpa. He was a storyteller. He used to sit on this chair and tell me and your grandma wonderful stories. He made us believe in magic and adventure." + +"Really?" Anna and Ben said. + +"Yes, really," grandpa said. "And I can tell you some of his stories, if you like. But you have to share the chair and listen quietly. Do you want to hear a story?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They stopped fighting and climbed on the chair with grandpa. They snuggled close to him and waited for him to begin. They were ready to believe in anything. +Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. One day, they found a can of spray paint in the garage. They decided to use it to make art on the lumber that their dad had piled up for a project. + +"Look, I can spray a red star on this wood!" Sam said, shaking the can. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben said, grabbing the can from Sam. "I want to spray a blue circle!" + +They took turns spraying different shapes and colors on the lumber, having fun and making a mess. They did not hear their dad coming home from work. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" their dad shouted, seeing the spray paint on his lumber. He was very angry. "That was for the new fence! You ruined it!" + +Sam and Ben felt scared and sorry. They dropped the can and ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. + +"Mom, mom, we did something bad!" Sam cried. + +"We sprayed paint on dad's wood!" Ben sobbed. + +Their mom hugged them and said, "Why did you do that? You know you should not touch things that are not yours." + +"We wanted to make art, mom. We did not know it was for the fence," Sam said. + +Their mom sighed and said, "I understand, but you still made a big mistake. You have to apologize to your dad and help him clean up the lumber. Maybe he can still use it for something else." + +Sam and Ben nodded and wiped their tears. They followed their mom to the yard, where their dad was still fuming. They said they were sorry and asked for forgiveness. Their dad was still upset, but he saw that they were sincere. He hugged them and said, "I forgive you, but you have to be more careful next time. And no more spray paint, okay?" + +"Okay, dad," Sam and Ben said. + +They helped their dad scrub the paint off the lumber, which took a long time and a lot of water. They learned their lesson and promised to respect their dad's things. Their dad also learned to keep his spray paint in a safer place. They finished the fence together and were cheerful again. They admired their work and their art, which still showed a little bit on the lumber. They agreed that it was not so bad after all. +Ben liked to play with his toy plane. He made it fly in the air and zoom around his room. He pretended he was a pilot and he had to go on a big mission. He put on his hat and his jacket and said, "Ready for takeoff!" + +But then he saw his mom was troubled. She had a sad face and a big bag. She said, "Ben, I need to go away for a few days. I have to work in another place. I will miss you a lot, but I will call you every night." + +Ben felt sad too. He did not want his mom to go. He wanted to play with her and hug her. He said, "Mom, can I go with you? I can be your pilot and help you fly the plane." + +His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "You are very sweet, Ben, but you have to stay here with dad. He will take good care of you and play with you. You can show him your toy plane and tell him your stories.

They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They had nothing new to do. They looked at each other and felt lonely. They missed their mom and her hugs. They missed their dessert and her smile. They realized they had been wrong. They decided to go back and help their mom. + +They ran to the house and found their mom. They said they were sorry and hugged her. They said they wanted to help her with the chores. They said they loved her and each other. Their mom was happy.

The church was very big and had a lot of pretty windows that let the sunshine in. Lily always felt peaceful when she went to church. + +One day, Lily's mom asked her to reach for the hymn book on the shelf. Lily tried to reach it, but she was too short. Just then, an older lady sitting nearby noticed and said, "I can help you reach it, dear." Lily was so happy that the lady helped her. + +After church, Lily and her family went to the park to have a picnic. Lily's little brother was playing with his toys, but they were too far away for him to reach. Lily said, "Don't worry, I can help you reach them!" and she went to get them for him. + +As they were leaving the park, Lily's mom asked her how she felt about church today. Lily said, "I felt happy and peaceful, and I made a new friend who helped me reach the book!" Her mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Lily. I'm glad you had a good day." +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who had a doll. The doll was her best friend and she loved to play with her every day. One day, the little girl's brother came and took the doll away from her. The little girl was sad and didn't know what to do. + +Suddenly, the little girl had a thoughtful idea. She decided to turn her brother's favorite toy truck into a doll. She used some fabric and buttons to make the truck look like a doll. When her brother saw the truck-doll, he was very happy and gave the little girl back her doll. + +From that day on, the little girl and her brother played together with their dolls and trucks. They were happy and never fought over toys again. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. Lily loved to read the newspaper with her mommy every morning.
