The horse did not know what your drawing was. The horse was just hungry and curious. You should not mark your name on things that are not yours. The horse is not your horse.

Sam's mom says. "Is that why you ruined your fort and your room?" + +Sam and Ben nod. They are ashamed. + +Sam's mom sighs. She picks up the tie. She shows it to Sam and Ben. + +"Look at this tie," she says. "It is just a piece of cloth. It is not worth fighting over. You have something more important than a tie. You have each other. You are friends. Friends share and care. Friends don't fight over silly things. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Ben look at each other. They understand. They are sorry. + +"Yes, mom," they say. + +They hug each other. They say sorry. They give back the ties. They help Sam's mom clean up the room. They rebuild the fort. They play nicely. + +They learn a lesson. A tie is not great. A friend is great. +Lila and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lila has a big doll with a pink dress and a zipper on the back. Tom has a toy car with smooth wheels and a shiny hood. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Tom asks Lila. + +"No, this is my doll. You can play with your car," Lila says. + +"But I want to see the zipper. How does it work?" Tom says. + +"It goes up and down. Like this," Lila says and shows him how she can open and close the zipper. + +"Wow, that's cool. Can I try?" Tom says. + +"No, you can't. It's mine," Lila says and hugs her doll. + +Tom feels sad and angry. He wants to play with the zipper too. He thinks of a plan. He waits until Lila is not looking and grabs her doll. He runs to the other side of the room and starts to pull the zipper. + +"Hey, give me back my doll!" Lila shouts and chases him. + +"Ha ha, I have your doll. Look, I can make the zipper go up and down," Tom says and laughs. + +Lila catches up with him and tries to take her doll back. They both tug and pull on the doll. The zipper gets stuck and breaks. The doll's dress falls off. + +"Oh no, what did you do?" Lila cries. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break it," Tom says. + +They both look at the doll with no dress and a broken zipper. They feel bad and sorry. They don't want to fight anymore. + +"I'm sorry, Lila. Can we be friends again?" Tom says. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. Can we share our toys?" Lila says. + +They hug and make up. They decide to play together with their toys. They find a blanket and wrap it around the doll. They pretend the blanket is a new dress. They take turns to drive the car and make it go fast and smooth. They have fun and forget about the zipper. They are happy. +Lily liked roses very much. She liked to look at them, smell them, and touch them. She had a rose bush in her garden, and every day she would pick one rose and put it in a vase. + +One day, Lily saw a different rose in the garden. It was not red like her roses, but yellow. It was very pretty and shiny. Lily wanted to pick it and take it home. But the yellow rose was not on her rose bush. It was on the fence, next to the garden of Mr. Lee. + +Lily knew that Mr. Lee was not nice. He was always angry and loud. He did not like children or flowers. He did not want anyone to touch his things. Lily was afraid of him. + +But Lily really wanted the yellow rose. She thought maybe Mr. Lee would not see her if she was quick and quiet. She climbed over the fence and reached for the rose. But as soon as she touched it, she heard a voice. + +"Hey, you! What are you doing? Get away from my rose!" It was Mr. Lee. He had seen her. He was very mad. He came out of his house and ran towards her. + +Lily was scared. She let go of the rose and ran back to the fence. She tried to climb over, but Mr. Lee grabbed her by the arm. He pulled her down and shouted at her. + +"How dare you steal my rose? You are a bad girl! I will tell your parents!" + +Lily cried. She did not mean to steal. She just wanted to see the rose. She did not know it was his. She was sorry. + +"Please, Mr. Lee, let me go. I am sorry. I will not touch your rose again. Please, do not tell my parents. Please, let me go." + +Lily made a request. She asked Mr. Lee to be nice and let her go. But Mr. Lee did not listen. He was still angry and mean. He did not care about Lily's request. He did not care about Lily's feelings. He only cared about his rose. He held her tight and dragged her to his house. He wanted to call her parents and punish her. + +Lily was very sad and scared. She wished she had never seen the yellow rose. She wished she had stayed with her red roses. She wished Mr. Lee was not so different from her. She wished he was kind and gentle, like a rose. +Lila and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to look for bugs and make houses for them. Lila found a big ant hill and ran to show Ben. + +"Look, Ben, look! So many ants!" Lila said, pointing to the hill. + +Ben came over and nodded. He saw the ants carrying tiny bits of food and leaves. He wondered what they were doing. + +"Maybe they are mailing them to their friends," he said. + +Lila laughed. "No, silly, ants don't mail things. They store them for later. They are very alert and smart." + +She picked up a stick and poked the hill gently. She wanted to see more ants. + +But the ants did not like that. They felt the stick and got angry. They came out of the hill and started to bite Lila's hand. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cried, dropping the stick and shaking her hand. "The ants are biting me!" + +Ben saw Lila's hand and got scared. He ran to get their mom. + +"Mom, mom, mom! Lila poked the ant hill and the ants are biting her!" he shouted. + +Mom heard Ben and came out of the house. She saw Lila's hand and felt sorry for her. + +"Oh, Lila, you shouldn't poke the ant hill. The ants are protecting their home. They don't like to be disturbed. Come on, let's go inside and put some ice on your hand," she said. + +She took Lila's hand and led her to the house. Ben followed them, feeling sorry too. + +He learned a lesson that day. He learned that ants are alert and smart, but also that they can bite if you poke them. He decided to leave the ants alone and look for other bugs to play with. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the birds and the bugs. She saw a big, tall bug with many legs and wings. It was green and shiny. Lily wanted to catch the bug and keep it as a pet. + +She ran after the bug, but it flew away. She followed it to the fence, where it landed on a leaf. Lily reached out her hand to grab the bug, but it flew away again. She saw it go over the fence, to the other side. + +Lily ran to the gate, but it was locked. She could not open it. She saw the bug on a tree, on the other side of the fence. She wanted to go there, but she could not. + +She called her mom. "Mom, mom, can you open the gate? I want to catch the bug. It is tall and green and shiny. Please, mom, please!" + +Her mom came to the gate. She saw the bug on the tree. She knew it was not a good bug to catch. It was a wasp, and it could sting. She did not want Lily to get hurt. + +She said to Lily, "No, Lily, you cannot catch the bug. It is not a nice bug. It is a wasp, and it can sting. It can make you cry and hurt. You do not want the bug. Let it go." + +But Lily did not listen. She insisted. She said, "I want the bug, mom. I want the bug. It is tall and green and shiny. It is my bug. Please, mom, please!" + +Her mom shook her head. She said, "No, Lily, no. You cannot have the bug. It is not a pet. It is a wasp. It is not for you. Come, let us go inside. We can find another bug, a nice bug, a bug that does not sting." + +But Lily did not want another bug. She wanted the wasp. She was angry and sad. She cried and stamped her feet. She said, "No, mom, no. I want the bug. I want the bug. It is my bug. I want it now!" + +She tried to climb the fence, but her mom stopped her. She held her in her arms. She said, "Lily, Lily, stop. You cannot have the bug. It is not safe. It is not fun. It is not a good idea. Trust me, Lily, trust me. I love you, Lily, I love you." + +Lily looked at her mom. She saw her mom's eyes and her smile. She felt her mom's hug and her kiss. She heard her mom's voice and her words. She calmed down. She said, "I love you, mom. I love you. I am sorry, mom. I am sorry. I do not want the bug. I do not want the bug. I want you, mom. I want you." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "That's my girl. That's my Lily. Come, let us go inside. We can have a snack and a story. We can have a hug and a kiss. We can have fun and be happy. We do not need the bug. We do not need the bug. We have each other. We have each other." + +They went inside. They left the bug alone. The bug flew away. It did not care. It did not know. It was just a bug. It was not a pet. It was not a friend. It was not a toy. It was just a bug. A tall, green, shiny bug. A wasp. A wasp that could sting. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big shiny apple on a tree. They wanted to eat it, but their mom had told them not to touch the apples. She said they were not ripe yet and they could make them sick. + +"Let's take the apple," Ben said. "Mom will not know. She is busy in the kitchen." + +"No, Ben," Lily said. "That is bad. We should listen to mom. She has wisdom. She knows what is good for us." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He climbed the tree and picked the apple. He bit into it and made a sour face. It was hard and bitter. He threw it away and climbed down. + +"See, Ben, I told you," Lily said. "The apple was not good. Now you are guilty. You did not obey mom." + +Ben felt bad. He wished he had listened to Lily. He hoped mom would not find out. But mom had seen everything from the window. She came out and looked at the apple on the ground. + +"Who did this?" she asked. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. Ben was scared. He did not want to tell the truth. He wanted to blame Lily. But Lily was brave. She said, "Mom, Ben did it. He took the apple. I tried to stop him, but he did not listen. I am sorry, mom." + +Mom was angry with Ben. She said, "Ben, you were naughty. You did not listen to me or to Lily. You took the apple that was not ready. You wasted it and you lied. You have to say sorry to me and to Lily. And you have to go to your room and think about what you did." + +Ben felt ashamed. He said sorry to mom and to Lily. He went to his room and cried. He learned his lesson. He decided to never take things that were not his again. He decided to listen to mom and to Lily. He decided to be a good boy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today, they are not happy. Mom says they have to nap after lunch. Sara and Ben do not want to nap. They want to play more. + +"Please, Mom, no nap!" Sara says. "We are not sleepy!" + +"Me too, no nap!" Ben says. "We are big kids!" + +Mom shakes her head. "You need to nap, Sara and Ben. Napping is good for you. You will feel better and have more fun later. Come on, let's go to your room." + +Sara and Ben follow Mom to their room. They see their beds with their blankets and pillows. They also see their stamp book on the table. They love their stamp book. It has many stamps with different colors and shapes. They like to look at them and stick them on paper. + +"Can we look at our stamp book, Mom?" Ben asks. + +"Can we stick some stamps, Mom?" Sara asks. + +Mom smiles. "You can look at your stamp book for a little while. But then you have to put it away and nap. OK?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They take their stamp book and sit on the floor. They open the book and see the stamps. They point at them and say their names. + +"Look, Sara, a red star!" Ben says. + +"Look, Ben, a blue moon!" Sara says. + +They are happy. They forget about napping. They take some stamps and stick them on their hands and faces. They giggle and make funny faces. + +Mom comes back to check on them. She sees them with stamps all over them. She is not happy. She frowns and says, "Sara and Ben, what are you doing? You are supposed to nap, not play with stamps. Look at the mess you made!" + +Sara and Ben stop giggling. They look at Mom and feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We like stamps. We forgot to nap." + +Mom sighs. She says, "I know you like stamps, but you have to nap first. Napping is more important than stamps. Come on, let's clean up and go to bed." + +Sara and Ben help Mom clean up the stamps. They put them back in the book and on the table. They wash their hands and faces. They go to their beds and lie down. Mom tucks them in and kisses them. She says, "Good night, Sara and Ben. I love you. Have a nice nap." + +Sara and Ben say, "We love you too, Mom. Thank you for the stamps. Good night." + +They close their eyes and nap. They dream of stamps and stars and moons. They are happy. +Tim and Sue were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they found a big jeep in the garage. It was their dad's jeep, but he was not home. They wanted to drive the jeep, but it was too big for them. + +"I have an idea," said Tim. "Let's use the shrink ray. It can make things smaller. Then we can fit in the jeep and have fun." + +Sue agreed. They took the shrink ray from the shelf. It was a toy that their dad had made for them. It looked like a gun with a red button. They pointed it at the jeep and pressed the button. The jeep made a loud noise and started to shrink. It became smaller and smaller, until it was the size of a toy car. + +"Wow, it worked!" said Sue. "Now we can drive the jeep in the garden. Come on, Tim, let's go." + +They ran to the jeep and got inside. It was cozy and cheerful. They turned the key and the jeep started to move. They drove around the garden, honking the horn and laughing. They felt like adventurers. + +But they did not see the cat. The cat was big and hungry. It saw the jeep and thought it was a mouse. It pounced on the jeep and grabbed it with its claws. Tim and Sue screamed. They tried to escape, but it was too late. The cat bit the jeep and swallowed it. Tim and Sue were gone. The cat licked its lips and walked away. The shrink ray was still on the shelf. No one knew what had happened. The end. +Anna and Ben went to the shop with their mother. They wanted to buy some toys and candy. Mother said they could choose one thing each, but not too expensive. + +Anna saw a big doll with long hair and a pink dress. She liked it very much. She took it to the counter and said, "I want this, please." + +Ben saw a car with lights and sounds. He liked it very much. He took it to the counter and said, "I want this, please." + +Mother looked at the price tags and frowned. She said, "These are too expensive. You have to choose something else." + +Anna and Ben felt unhappy. They did not want to choose something else. They wanted the doll and the car. They started to cry and whine. + +Mother felt uncomfortable. She did not like to make them cry, but she did not have enough money to pay for the expensive toys. She said, "I'm sorry, but we can't afford these. Let's look for something cheaper and nicer." + +She took them to another aisle, where there were books and puzzles and stickers. She showed them some things that they might like. She said, "Look, these are fun and cheap. You can learn and play with them. Why don't you pick one of these?" + +Anna and Ben stopped crying and looked at the things. They saw some things that they liked. Anna chose a book with pictures of animals. Ben chose a puzzle with cars and trucks. They took them to the counter and said, "We want these, please." + +Mother smiled and paid for the things. She said, "Good choice. These are much better than the expensive toys. You will enjoy them more." + +Anna and Ben felt happy. They thanked their mother and hugged her. They said, "We love you, mother. Thank you for the things." + +Mother felt happy too. She said, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. You are very good children. Now let's go home and have some fun." +Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see many animals on the farm. They see pigs, sheep, horses and cows. + +One day, they see a big cow near the fence. The cow is brown and white. It has horns and a bell. Tom and Ann want to pet the cow. They go near the cow. + +"Hello, cow," Tom says. "You are very big and nice. Can we pet you?" + +The cow looks at Tom and Ann. It says, "Moo." It does not move. + +Tom and Ann touch the cow's fur. It is soft and warm. They like the cow. + +But then, they hear a loud voice. It is the farmer. He is angry. + +"Hey, you kids! Get away from my cow! She is not for petting! She is for milking!" the farmer shouts. + +Tom and Ann are scared. They do not want to make the farmer mad. They hurry away from the cow. They run to the gate. + +"Sorry, farmer," Tom says. "We did not know. We just wanted to say hi to the cow." + +The farmer comes to the gate. He is still angry. But he sees that Tom and Ann are sorry. He calms down. + +"It's okay, kids," he says. "But you have to be careful. Cows are not toys. They are animals. They can be dangerous. You have to ask me before you touch them." + +Tom and Ann nod. They understand. They say, "Okay, farmer. We will ask you next time. Thank you for letting us see your farm." + +The farmer smiles. He says, "You're welcome, kids. You can come back another day. But remember, be careful and respectful of the animals. They are fine creatures, but they have their own needs and feelings." + +Tom and Ann agree. They wave goodbye to the farmer and the cow. They walk back to their homes. They are happy. They have learned something new. They have made a new friend. The cow. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, Sara has a message for Ben. She writes it on a piece of paper. She puts it in her pocket. + +She walks to the park. She sees Ben on the swing. She runs to him. She says, "Hi, Ben. I have a message for you. Do you want to see it?" + +Ben says, "No, thank you. I am having fun on the swing. Go away, Sara." + +Sara feels sad. She says, "But, Ben, it is a nice message. I made it for you. Please, look at it." + +Ben says, "No, I don't care. I don't want to share the swing. You are bothering me. Leave me alone, Sara." + +Sara feels angry. She says, "You are selfish, Ben. You are not a good friend. You don't care about me. Fine, I will go away. But you can't have my message. It is mine." + +She takes out the paper from her pocket. She tears it into pieces. She throws it on the ground. She walks away. + +Ben sees the pieces of paper. He feels curious. He gets off the swing. He picks up the pieces. He tries to put them together. He sees some words. He reads them. They say, "I like you, Ben. You are my best friend. Love, Sara." + +Ben feels sorry. He says, "Oh, no. I was mean to Sara. She likes me. She is my best friend. I love her, too. I want to say sorry. I want to give her a hug." + +He looks for Sara. He sees her sitting on a bench. She is crying. He walks to her. He says, "Sara, I am sorry. I was selfish. I was not a good friend. I care about you. I like your message. It is nice. Can you forgive me?" + +Sara looks at him. She sees his face. He looks sad. He looks sorry. She says, "Yes, Ben. I forgive you. You are my best friend, too. I love you, too. Can you give me a hug?" + +Ben says, "Yes, Sara. I can give you a hug. Come here." + +They hug each other. They smile. They walk to the swing. They share it. They have fun. They are happy. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the barn. The barn is big and old. It has many animals and hay. Sara and Tom have fun with the animals. They feed them and pet them. They also have a charming doll. The doll has a pretty dress and long hair. Sara and Tom love the doll. + +One day, Sara and Tom go to the barn. They want to play with the doll. But they cannot find the doll. They look everywhere. They ask the animals. The animals do not know. Sara and Tom are sad. They miss the doll. + +Then they hear a noise. It is a loud and scary noise. It comes from the barn. Sara and Tom run to the barn. They see fire. The barn is on fire. The fire is big and hot. It burns the barn and the animals. Sara and Tom are scared. They cry for help. + +But no one hears them. No one comes to save them. The fire is too fast and too strong. It reaches Sara and Tom. It hurts them. It takes them away. Sara and Tom have no more fun. They have no more barn. They have no more doll. They have no more life. The end. +Anna likes to spend time with her grandma. Grandma has many stamps in a big book. She shows Anna the stamps from different places. Anna likes the stamps with animals and flowers. + +One day, Anna and grandma go to the park. They see a friendly dog. The dog wags its tail and licks Anna's hand. Anna laughs and pets the dog. The dog's owner comes and says hello. He is a nice man. He tells Anna and grandma that his name is Tom and his dog's name is Spot. + +Tom says he likes stamps too. He says he has a stamp with a panda on it. Anna loves pandas. She asks Tom if she can see the stamp. Tom says yes and takes out a small envelope from his pocket. He opens it and shows Anna the stamp. It is a black and white panda with a green bamboo. Anna thinks it is very pretty. + +Tom says he wants to give the stamp to Anna. He says she can keep it and put it in her grandma's book. Anna is very happy. She says thank you to Tom and gives him a hug. Grandma smiles and thanks Tom too. She says he is very kind. Tom says he is happy to share his stamp with Anna. He says he hopes they will meet again. + +Anna and grandma wave goodbye to Tom and Spot. They go back to grandma's house. Anna puts the panda stamp in the book. She says it is her favorite stamp. Grandma says it is a special stamp. She says it is a gift from a friendly man and a friendly dog. Anna agrees. She says she likes to spend time with grandma and make new friends. Grandma hugs Anna and says she loves her. Anna says she loves her too. They are very happy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they find a pipe in the grass. It is long and shiny and has a hole at one end. + +"Look, Sara, a pipe!" Ben says. "We can use it to make music." + +He puts the pipe to his mouth and blows. A loud sound comes out. Sara covers her ears. + +"Stop, Ben, stop! That is too noisy!" she says. + +Ben stops and looks at Sara. He likes the pipe. He thinks it is fancy. + +"But Sara, this is a good pipe. It is fun to make sounds. I value this pipe. Do you want to try?" he says. + +Sara shakes her head. She does not like the pipe. She thinks it is dirty and old. + +"No, thank you, Ben. I do not value this pipe. I value my doll. She is pretty and soft. I want to play with her." she says. + +She picks up her doll and walks away. Ben shrugs. He does not mind. He likes the pipe. He blows it again and again. He makes different sounds. He is happy. He values his pipe. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a big ant hill and watched the ants go in and out. + +"Look, Ben, the ants are so busy!" Lily said. "They carry things and make tunnels." + +"I wonder what they do inside the hill," Ben said. "Maybe they have a king or a queen." + +They decided to get closer and see if they could find out. They crawled on their hands and knees and reached the ant hill. But as soon as they touched it, the ants came out and started to bite them. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily and Ben cried. "The ants are angry! They don't like us!" + +They ran away from the ant hill and rubbed their legs and arms. They felt sorry for the ants. They did not mean to hurt them or their home. + +"Maybe the ants were scared of us," Lily said. "We are big and unknown to them." + +"Maybe they thought we were monsters," Ben said. "We should leave them alone." + +They agreed to play somewhere else and not bother the ants again. They learned that some things are better to watch from far away. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They lived near a creek that had many fish and frogs. One day, they decided to go fishing with their dad. They took a bucket, a net and some bread. + +They walked along the creek until they found a good spot. They saw a big fish swimming in the water. Tom threw some bread into the creek and waited. Lily held the net and got ready to catch the fish. + +"Look, Lily, the fish is coming!" Tom said. + +"I see it, Tom, it's very big!" Lily said. + +They watched as the fish nibbled the bread and came closer to the shore. Tom and Lily tried to scoop it up with the net, but the fish was too fast and slippery. It splashed them with water and swam away. + +"Aw, we missed it!" Tom said. + +"It's okay, Tom, we can try again," Lily said. + +They looked for another fish, but they did not see any. They wondered if the fish had told the others to stay away. They were about to give up when they heard a voice. + +"Hello, children, what are you doing?" the voice said. + +They turned around and saw a man standing behind them. He was wearing a suit and a hat. He had a big smile and a shiny watch. He looked very wealthy. + +"We are fishing, sir," Tom said. + +"Fishing? In this creek?" the man said. "You won't find any good fish here. This creek is dirty and polluted. You should go to the lake. The lake has clean water and big fish. I have a boat there. Do you want to come with me?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not know the man. He seemed nice, but they also remembered what their dad had told them. + +"Thank you, sir, but no thank you," Lily said. "We like this creek. It has many fish and frogs. And we have to go back to our dad. He is waiting for us." + +The man frowned. He did not like their answer. He wanted them to come with him. He had a plan. He wanted to take them to his boat and then to his house. He wanted to keep them as his pets. He did not have any friends or family. He was lonely and bored. + +"Come on, children, don't be silly," the man said. "This creek is no fun. The lake is much better. I will give you candy and toys. You will have a great time. Trust me." + +Tom and Lily shook their heads. They did not trust the man. They felt scared. They wanted to go back to their dad. They grabbed their bucket and their net and ran away. They did not look back. + +They ran until they found their dad. He was sitting on a rock and reading a book. He saw them and smiled. + +"Hello, my little fishers," he said. "Did you catch anything?" + +Tom and Lily hugged their dad. They told him about the fish and the frogs and the bread. They also told him about the man and his boat and his candy. Their dad listened and nodded. + +"I'm proud of you, Tom and Lily," he said. "You did the right thing. You should never go with strangers. They might want to hurt you or take you away. You should always stay with me or someone you know. You are very smart and brave." + +Tom and Lily smiled. They felt happy and safe. They did not need the lake or the boat or the candy. They had their dad and their creek and their fish. They were wealthy in their own way. +Tom and Anna liked to watch films on the big screen. They had many films at home, but they wanted to see a new one. The new film was about a clever dog who could talk and do tricks. Tom and Anna loved dogs, and they wanted to see the clever dog. + +They asked their mom and dad if they could go to the big screen. Their mom and dad said yes, but they had to do their homework first. Tom and Anna did their homework very fast, because they were excited. They put on their coats and shoes, and got in the car with their mom and dad. + +They got to the big screen, and bought some popcorn and juice. They found their seats, and waited for the film to start. The lights went off, and the film began. Tom and Anna watched the clever dog with big eyes. He could talk to people, and he could lie to bad guys. He could also run, jump, and catch things. He was very intelligent, and very funny. + +Tom and Anna laughed and clapped at the clever dog. They liked him a lot. They wished they had a dog like him. They did not see the man who sat behind them. The man was not there to watch the film. He was there to do something bad. He had a bag with him, and in the bag, he had a gun. + +The man waited for the right moment. He wanted to rob the big screen, and take all the money. He thought no one would notice him, because they were all watching the film. He was wrong. The clever dog noticed him. The clever dog could smell the gun, and he could see the man's face. He knew the man was bad, and he had to stop him. + +The clever dog did something very brave. He jumped out of the film, and into the big screen. He ran towards the man, and barked very loud. He bit the man's hand, and made him drop the gun. He also bit the man's leg, and made him fall. He kept barking, until the lights came on, and the people saw what was happening. + +The people were very surprised, and very scared. They did not know how the clever dog came out of the film. They did not know he was a hero. They only saw a dog, and a bad man. They screamed, and ran away. Tom and Anna did not run away. They stayed in their seats, and watched the clever dog. + +They knew he was a hero, and they wanted to thank him. They also wanted to hug him, and take him home.

Ben says. + +"No, Ben, this is my picture. You can make your own picture." Anna says. + +But Ben does not listen. He waits until Anna goes to the bathroom. Then he takes her picture and runs away.

Ben says. + +He tries to run away again, but Anna is faster. She catches him and pulls her picture from his hands. But the picture is fragile. It tears in half. Anna and Ben both cry. They have ruined the picture. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I was wrong. I should not have stolen your picture." Ben says. + +"I'm sorry, too, Ben. I should not have pulled your picture.

She did not like the owl. It looked mean and scary. + +"Put it back, Ben, put it back," she said. "It does not belong to us. It might bite you or scratch you." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He liked the owl. He thought it was cute and funny. + +"Hello, owl, I am Ben," he said. He tried to pet the owl and make it happy. + +But the owl did not like Ben.

You don't care about anyone but yourself!" + +Ben stopped whistling. He looked at Lily. He felt hurt and confused. He did not mean to ruin her party. He just wanted to have some fun. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know you were so mad. I like to whistle. It makes me happy. Can't you let me whistle?" + +Lily sighed. She looked at Ben. She saw his sad face. She felt sorry for him. She said, "I'm sorry, too, Ben. I know you like to whistle. But it's too loud for a party. It bothers me and my friends. Can't you whistle somewhere else? Or whistle softer?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "OK, Lily. I'll try. I don't want to bother you. I want you to have a good party. Can I join your party?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Sure, Ben. You can join my party. But only if you promise not to whistle too loud. And only if you share some cake with me." + +Ben agreed. He said, "OK, Lily. I promise. And I'll share some cake with you. Thank you for letting me join your party." + +Lily and Ben hugged. They went back to the party. They played with their friends. They ate cake and balloons and games. They had fun.

Maybe we can find cheese there." + +"OK, let's go to the moon," Lily says. She pushes a button on the wall. The button is a sticker. She makes a sound. "Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz. We are flying to the moon." + +They sit on the floor. They look at the sky. They see the sun and the clouds. They do not see the moon. They wait and wait. + +"I am hungry," Ben says. "Do you have any food?" + +Lily shakes her head. "No, I do not have any food. I am hungry too." + +They look at each other. They are sad. They want to eat cheese. They want to go back home. + +"Maybe we can ask Mom for some food," Lily says. + +"OK, let's go back home," Ben says. He pushes another button. The button is also a sticker. He makes another sound. "Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz. We are flying back home." + +They open the door. They see Mom. Mom is smiling. She has a plate. On the plate, there are sandwiches. The sandwiches have cheese. + +"Hello, Lily and Ben," Mom says. "Do you want some sandwiches? I made them for you. They have cheese." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They run to Mom. They hug her. They take the sandwiches. They eat the cheese. They say thank you. + +"Thank you, Mom," Lily and Ben say. + +"You are welcome, Lily and Ben," Mom says. "I am glad you had fun in your club. But next time, do not forget to take some snacks with you. You need to eat when you are hungry." + +Lily and Ben nod. They agree. They love their club. They love their Mom. They love cheese. +Lily liked to sing. She sang every day in her classroom with her friends. She sang happy songs, sad songs, funny songs and silly songs.

She ran to the hill and climbed up. + +"Look at me!" she shouted to her friends. "I'm going to slide down the hill and sing a song!" + +She started to slide down the hill, but she did not see a big rock under the snow. She hit the rock and fell off the hill. She hurt her mouth and her throat. She could not sing anymore. She cried and cried. + +Her friends ran to help her. They took her to the teacher, who gave her a bandage and a hug. The teacher said, "Lily, I'm sorry you hurt yourself. You were very brave to slide down the hill, but you should have been more careful. Sometimes, it is better to be safe than sorry." + +Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She wanted to sing again, but she had to wait until her mouth and her throat healed. She was sad, but she knew it was her fault. She said to her friends, "Thank you for being nice to me. I'm sorry I was not smart. Next time, I will look before I slide." + +Her friends smiled and said, "That's OK, Lily. We still like you. We hope you can sing again soon. You have a beautiful voice." + +Lily smiled too. She was happy to have good friends. She decided to be more careful and wise. She still liked to sing, but she also liked to be safe. +Once upon a time, in a big forest, there was a lonely tree.

Please, mom, please!" + +Her mom sighed and said, "Anna, I know you love the dove, but you have to think of what is best for it. It is not happy in a cage or a house. It needs to be free and with its own kind. Trust me, it will be happier in the shelter than with us. You can visit it there, and maybe one day, you can see it fly again." + +Anna looked at the dove in her arms. It looked back at her with its dark eyes. It made a soft cooing sound. Anna felt a tear roll down her cheek. She knew her mom was right, but it was hard to let go. She kissed the dove and said, "Goodbye, dove. I will miss you. I hope you get better soon. Thank you for being my friend." + +She handed the dove to her mom, who wrapped it in a scarf. They walked to the car, where they had a box to put the dove in. Anna looked at the sky, where she saw other doves flying and settling on the trees. She hoped her dove would join them someday. She felt gloomy, but also brave. She had done the right thing. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Max had a car. They were having fun, but they also wanted to share. Lily asked Max if he wanted to play with her doll for a while. Max said yes and gave her his car. + +They played nicely for some time, but then Max wanted his car back. He said to Lily, "Can I have my car now? I miss it." Lily said, "No, I like your car. It is fast and shiny. You can have my doll." Max said, "But I don't want your doll. It is boring and soft. Give me my car!" Lily said, "No, it is mine now!" + +They started to fight over the car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not listen to each other. They did not care about each other's feelings. They were very selfish and rude. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw them fighting and was very angry. She said, "Stop it, both of you! What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a toy?" Lily and Max stopped and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and scared. + +Their mom said, "You should be kind and patient with each other. You should share and take turns. You should respect each other's wishes. You should not fight over things that are not yours. You should be grateful for what you have. Do you understand?" Lily and Max nodded and said, "Yes, mom, we understand. We are sorry." + +Their mom said, "I'm glad you are sorry. Now, apologize to each other and hug. Then, you can play with your toys again, but this time, be nice and fair." Lily and Max said, "We are sorry, Lily/Max. We love you." They hugged and smiled. They gave back their toys and played together happily. + +Their mom watched them and smiled too. She was proud of them. She said, "That's better. You are good children. I love you too." She kissed them and hugged them. She mentioned to them, "You know, sharing is caring. And caring is loving. And loving is the best thing in the world." Lily and Max agreed and said, "Yes, mom, you are right. Sharing is caring. And caring is loving. And loving is the best thing in the world." They were happy and learned a lesson. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun and making noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Ben says. + +"My doll is pretty and delicate. She has a dress and a hat," Anna says. + +They decide to swap their toys and see how they like them. Anna takes the car and Ben takes the doll. They try to play with them, but they are not used to them. + +Anna pushes the car too hard and it crashes into the wall. She hears a loud bang and sees a spark. She feels a shock in her hand and drops the car. She starts to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow, that hurt!" Anna says. + +Ben holds the doll too tight and squeezes her head. He hears a pop and sees stuffing come out. He breaks the doll and makes a hole. He is scared and drops the doll. He starts to cry. + +"Oh, oh, oh, I broke it!" Ben says. + +Mom hears their cries and comes to the living room. She sees the broken car and the broken doll. She is not happy and shakes her head. + +"What did you do, Anna and Ben? You ruined your toys! They were not yours to break!" Mom says. + +Anna and Ben feel sorry and hug each other. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They promise to be more careful and respectful with their toys. Mom hugs them and kisses them. She says she loves them and forgives them. She helps them fix their toys and gives them back. They thank Mom and play with their own toys. They are happy and quiet. +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new boy in the park. He is bald and big. He has a mean face. + +"Who are you?" Tim asks the new boy. + +"I am Bob. This is my park now. You have to go away," the new boy says. + +Tim and Sue are scared. They think Bob is a threat. They do not want to go away. They like the park. + +"No, this is our park too. We can play here," Sue says. + +Bob is angry. He pushes Sue to the ground. He kicks Tim in the leg. He laughs. + +"Ha ha, you are weak. I am strong. You have to do what I say," Bob says. + +Tim and Sue are hurt and sad. They cry. They want Bob to stop. + +Then, they hear a voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" the voice says. + +They look up. They see a man. He is bald and big too. But he has a nice face. He is Bob's dad. + +"Dad, these kids are mean. They do not want to share the park with me," Bob says. + +Bob's dad looks at Tim and Sue. He sees their tears and bruises. He is not happy. + +"Bob, that is not true. You are the one who is mean. You hurt them for no reason. You have to say sorry and share the park with them," Bob's dad says. + +Bob is ashamed. He knows he did wrong. He says sorry to Tim and Sue. + +"I am sorry. I was bad. Can we be friends?" Bob says. + +Tim and Sue are surprised. They are not sure. + +Bob's dad smiles. He says to Tim and Sue. + +"Bob is new here. He does not have any friends. He was lonely and scared. He did not know how to play nice. He needs to learn. Will you help him? Will you welcome him?" Bob's dad says. + +Tim and Sue think. They remember how they felt when they were new. They remember how they wanted to have friends. They decide to give Bob a chance. + +"Okay, we will help him. We will welcome him. But he has to be nice and share," Tim and Sue say. + +Bob's dad is happy. He hugs Bob. He thanks Tim and Sue. + +"Thank you. You are very kind. I am proud of you. You are good friends," Bob's dad says. + +Then, he says to Bob. + +"Come on, Bob. Let's go and play with Tim and Sue. They will show you how to have fun in the park," Bob's dad says. + +Bob nods. He follows his dad. He smiles at Tim and Sue. + +"Can we play tag?" Bob asks. + +"Sure, we can play tag. You are it!" Tim says. + +He runs away. Sue runs after him. Bob runs after them. They laugh. + +They play tag in the park. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big hole in the fence. They want to know what is on the other side. + +"Let's go and look," says Tom. + +"No, we can't," says Lily. "Mum said we must stay in the garden. It is not safe to go out." + +"But I want to know," says Tom. "Maybe there is a new land with fun things to see and do." + +He pushes the hole bigger and crawls through. Lily follows him. She does not want to be alone. + +They find themselves in a field with cows and sheep. They think it is a new land. They run and laugh and chase the animals. They do not see the farmer coming. + +"Hey, you naughty kids!" the farmer shouts. "What are you doing here? This is my land. You are scaring my cows and sheep. Go back to your garden now!" + +He picks them up and carries them to the fence. He puts them back in the garden and fixes the hole. He tells their mum what they did. + +Mum is very angry. She scolds Lily and Tom. She says they must not go out of the garden again. They must say sorry to the farmer. They must be good and listen to her. + +Lily and Tom feel bad. They say sorry to the farmer and to mum. They hug each other and promise to be good. They do not want to know what is on the other side of the fence anymore. They are happy to play in the garden. +Anna liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes on her paper. She was happy and proud of her art. But then she saw a big mistake. She had drawn a blue sun instead of a yellow one. She wanted to fix it, but she did not have a yellow crayon. + +She looked around and saw an eraser on the table. It was enormous, bigger than her hand. She thought it could erase her blue sun. She grabbed it and rubbed it on her paper. But nothing happened. The blue sun was still there. She rubbed harder and harder, but the eraser did not work. + +She was confused and sad. She asked her mom, who was sitting next to her. "Mom, why does this eraser not erase?" She showed her mom the eraser and the paper. + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "That is not an eraser, my dear. That is a sponge. It is for cleaning, not for erasing. It can make things wet, but not vanish. If you want to erase something, you need a different kind of eraser. Like this one." She gave Anna a small pink eraser that fit in her hand. + +Anna tried the pink eraser on her paper. It worked! The blue sun vanished and left a white space. Anna was happy and thanked her mom. She found a yellow crayon and drew a new sun. She liked her art again. She learned that not all things that look like erasers are erasers. And that sometimes, mistakes can be fixed. +Lily loved to watch the aeroplanes in the sky. She wanted to fly in one someday. But Lily was deaf. She could not hear the loud noises of the aeroplanes or the people talking to her. She used her hands to say what she wanted. + +One day, Lily's mom took her to the airport. She had a surprise for Lily. She had bought tickets for them to fly in an aeroplane. Lily was so happy. She hugged her mom and thanked her with her hands. + +They boarded the aeroplane and found their seats. Lily looked out the window and saw the clouds and the birds. She felt the aeroplane moving and going up. She smiled and clapped her hands. + +A nice lady came to their seats. She was wearing a uniform and a badge. She said something to Lily's mom. Lily's mom nodded and pointed to Lily. The lady smiled and bent down to Lily. She used her hands to say hello to Lily. She said she was a flight attendant and she was deaf too. She said she was happy to meet Lily and she hoped she enjoyed the flight. She said she would come back later to check on them. + +Lily was amazed. She had never met a deaf person who worked on an aeroplane. She felt proud and excited. She used her hands to say hello back to the lady. She said she was happy to meet her too and she wanted to be like her when she grew up. She said she loved flying and she thanked her for being nice. + +The lady hugged Lily and said she was glad to hear that. She said Lily could do anything she wanted if she worked hard and believed in herself. She said she was sure Lily would succeed in her dreams. She said goodbye and went to help other passengers. + +Lily looked at her mom and smiled. She felt happy and hopeful. She said with her hands that she loved her mom and she loved flying. She said she wanted to fly again and again. She said she wanted to be a flight attendant too. She said she wanted to succeed. + +Her mom hugged her and said she loved her too. She said she was proud of her and she supported her. She said she would help her achieve her goals. She said she knew she would succeed. +Tom and Lily went to the theater with Mom and Dad. They were very excited to see a show with animals and songs. They sat in big chairs and waited for the show to start. + +"Mom, what is the show about?" Lily asked. + +"It is about a lion who wants to be friends with other animals, but they are afraid of him," Mom said. + +"Will the lion be loud?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe a little, but he is not mean. He just wants to play," Dad said. + +The lights went down and the show began. Tom and Lily saw a big lion on the stage. He roared and jumped and sang. He looked very happy. But then he saw a zebra, a giraffe, and a monkey. He ran to them and said hello. But they ran away and hid. The lion was sad and confused. + +"Why are they scared of me?" the lion asked. + +"Because you are loud and big and have sharp teeth," a voice said. It was a mouse. He came out of a hole and looked at the lion. + +"But I don't want to hurt them. I want to be their friend," the lion said. + +"Then you have to show them that you are kind and gentle. You have to understand how they feel," the mouse said. + +"How can I do that?" the lion asked. + +The mouse had an idea. He told the lion to follow him. They went to the other animals and the mouse introduced the lion. He said that the lion was nice and wanted to play. He asked the other animals to give him a chance. The lion smiled and nodded. He tried to be quiet and calm. He did not roar or jump or show his teeth. He asked the other animals about themselves and listened to their stories. He said sorry for scaring them and gave them compliments. He played games with them and shared his snacks. He made them laugh and sing. + +Soon, the other animals saw that the lion was not so bad. He was friendly and fun. They liked him and accepted him. They became his friends. The lion was very happy. He thanked the mouse for helping him. He said he learned to understand how others feel. He said he was glad to have friends. + +Tom and Lily clapped and cheered. They liked the show very much. They learned something too. They learned that being loud is not always good. They learned that being kind and understanding is better. They learned that everyone can be friends. They hugged Mom and Dad and said they had a great time. They said they wanted to see more shows at the theater. Mom and Dad smiled and said they were proud of them. They said they loved them very much. They all went home happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. Tom had a red car and Lily had a yellow doll. They were having fun, making noises and pretending to go on adventures. + +"Look, my car can go very fast!" Tom said, zooming his car around the grass. + +"My doll can sing very well!" Lily said, making her doll dance and hum. + +They played and played until it was time to go inside for lunch. Their mom called them from the door. + +"Tom, Lily, come inside! It's time to eat!" + +Tom and Lily ran to the door, but they forgot something. They forgot their toys in the garden. They did not see the big black dog that was walking by the fence. + +The dog saw the toys and jumped over the fence. He sniffed the car and the doll and decided to take them. He grabbed the car in his mouth and ran away. He came back and took the doll too. He was very happy with his new toys. + +Tom and Lily ate their lunch and then wanted to play with their toys again. They went to the garden and looked for them. But they could not find them. They only saw some marks on the grass and a hole in the fence. + +"Where are our toys?" Tom asked, feeling sad. + +"I don't know," Lily said, feeling sad too. + +They looked and looked, but they could not find their toys. They started to cry. + +Their mom heard them and came to the garden. She saw the hole in the fence and the marks on the grass. She understood what happened. + +"I'm sorry, Tom and Lily, but I think the dog took your toys. He must have jumped over the fence when you were inside. He was very naughty." + +Tom and Lily felt very foolish. They wished they had not forgotten their toys in the garden. They learned a lesson. They decided to always take their toys inside when they were done playing. They hoped the dog would not come back. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to ride their bikes on the path. They saw a big hill and wanted to go down fast. + +"Let's race!" said Ben. "I will win!" + +"No, I will win!" said Anna. "My bike is faster!" + +They pedaled hard and zoomed down the hill. But then they saw a big hole in the path. They tried to stop, but it was too late. Their wheels went into the hole and they fell off their bikes. + +"Ow!" said Ben. "That hurt!" + +"Are you okay?" said Anna. She was frightened. She saw blood on Ben's knee. + +"I'm okay," said Ben. "But my bike is not. Look, my wheel is bent!" + +Anna looked at Ben's bike. His wheel was not round anymore. It was twisted and broken. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," said Anna. "That's a bad hole. We should tell someone to fill it." + +Ben nodded. He was sad. He liked his bike. He hoped it could be fixed. + +They got up and walked to the bench. They saw a man with a shovel and a truck. He was filling the holes in the path. + +"Excuse me, sir," said Anna. "Can you help us? We fell into a hole and Ben's bike is broken." + +The man looked at them. He saw their bikes and their scrapes. He smiled kindly. + +"I'm sorry to hear that," he said. "That's a nasty hole. I'm here to fill them all. Maybe I can help you with your bike too. Let me see." + +He took Ben's bike and looked at the wheel. He twisted and pulled and bent it back into shape. + +"There you go," he said. "It's not perfect, but it should work. Be careful next time, okay?" + +"Thank you, sir!" said Ben. He was happy. His bike looked better. + +"Thank you, sir!" said Anna. She was grateful. The man was nice. + +They got on their bikes and rode away. They waved to the man. He waved back. + +They decided to avoid the hill and the hole. They rode on the flat path and had fun. They were not frightened anymore. They were glad. +Tim and Amy were playing with their cars in the yard. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Tim had a big red car and Amy had a small blue car. They were having fun until Tim saw a shiny yellow car on the other side of the fence. + +"Wow, look at that car!" Tim said. "It is so bright and pretty. I want it!" + +He ran to the fence and tried to reach the yellow car. But the fence was too high and he could not get it. He felt angry and sad. + +"Amy, help me get the car!" he shouted. "It is mine!" + +Amy shook her head. "No, Tim, that is not your car. That is someone else's car. You have your own car. You should not take things that are not yours." + +But Tim did not listen. He found a stick and tried to poke the yellow car through the fence. He did not see the big dog that was sleeping next to the car. The dog woke up and saw Tim. It started to bark and growl. It showed its teeth and ran to the fence. + +Tim was fearful. He dropped the stick and ran away. The dog chased him and tried to bite him. Tim screamed and cried. Amy ran after him and tried to help him. + +"Tim, Tim, are you okay?" Amy asked. "That was a bad dog. You should not have tried to get the car. You made the dog angry." + +Tim was still fearful. He hugged Amy and said, "I'm sorry, Amy. You were right. I should not have tried to get the car. It was not mine. I was greedy and foolish. I will not do that again. I like my own car. And I like you." + +Amy smiled and said, "It's okay, Tim. I forgive you. I like you too. And I like your car. Can we share our cars and play together?" + +Tim nodded and said, "Yes, Amy. We can share our cars and play together. That is more fun than being greedy and fearful." + +They went back to their cars and played happily. They learned to be content with what they had and to respect other people's things. They also learned to be kind and forgiving to each other. They were good friends. +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They saw a big hill of dirt with many ants on it. Tom wanted to poke the hill with a stick. Mia said, "No, Tom, that is not nice. The ants live there. They will be sad and angry if you hurt their home." + +But Tom did not listen. He said, "I want to see what happens. Maybe they will run away or bite me. That will be fun." He took a stick and hit the hill hard. The ants got very mad. They came out of the hill and climbed on Tom's stick, his hand, his arm, and his face. They bit him and made him cry. He dropped the stick and ran to his mom. + +Mia followed him. She felt sorry for Tom, but she also felt angry. She said, "Tom, you were very bad. You did not respect the ants. You did not listen to me. You made them and yourself unhappy. You got a big surprise, but not a good one. You should say sorry to the ants and to me." + +Tom was still crying. He said, "I am sorry, Mia. I am sorry, ants. I was very silly. I learned my lesson. I will not poke the ants again. I will be kind and careful with them and with you. Can you forgive me?" + +Mia hugged him. She said, "I forgive you, Tom. I hope the ants do too. They are very smart and strong. They work together and help each other. They are not noisy, but they can make a lot of noise if you bother them. We can learn from them. We can be friends with them and with each other." + +The end. +Lila was a clever fox who lived in the forest. She liked to explore and learn new things, but she also liked to nap in her cozy den. One day, she decided to nap under a big tree, where the sun was warm and the leaves were soft. + +But she did not know that a hunter was in the forest, looking for animals to catch. He saw Lila sleeping under the tree and thought, "What a nice fox! I will take her home and make a fur coat out of her." He crept closer and closer, holding a big net. + +Lila woke up and saw the hunter. She was scared and wanted to run away, but the hunter was too fast. He threw the net over her and said, "Ha! I got you, little fox! You are mine now!" + +Lila did not give up. She remembered something she had learned from a wise owl. She said to the hunter, "Please, sir, do not take me. I am not a nice fox. I am a bad fox. I have fleas and ticks and worms. I will make you sick and itch and hurt. Look at my fur, it is dirty and dull and thin. You do not want me for a fur coat. You want a nice fox, like the one over there." She pointed to a bush where a rabbit was hiding. + +The hunter was fooled by Lila's words. He thought, "Maybe she is right. Maybe there is a nicer fox over there. I will go and see." He lifted the net and let Lila go. He ran to the bush and threw the net over the rabbit. + +But the rabbit was not a fox. It was a friend of Lila. It jumped out of the net and ran away with Lila. They laughed and said, "That was a clever trick, Lila! You saved us both from the hunter. He is a silly man. He does not know a fox from a rabbit." + +Lila and the rabbit went back to their homes in the forest. They were happy and safe. They decided to nap together under the big tree, where the sun was warm and the leaves were soft. +Lily loves to dance. She dances in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She dances with her dolls, her teddy, and her mom. She hopes to dance with her dad too, but he is very busy. He works a lot and comes home late. + +One day, Lily sees a flyer for a dance show. She runs to her mom and shows her the flyer. "Mom, can we go to the dance show? Please, please, please!" she begs. + +Mom smiles and hugs Lily. "Maybe, sweetie. We have to ask dad first. He might be too busy to go with us." + +Lily feels sad. She wants to see the dancers on the stage. She wants to dance with them in her mind. She wants to share her love of dance with her dad. She hopes he will say yes. + +That night, dad comes home early. He has a surprise for Lily and mom. He holds up three tickets for the dance show. "Guess what? I'm not too busy tomorrow. We can go to the dance show together!" + +Lily jumps up and down. She hugs her dad and kisses his cheek. "Yay! Thank you, dad! You are the best!" she says. + +Dad smiles and hugs Lily and mom. "You're welcome, Lily. I love you. And I love to dance with you." he says. + +The next day, they go to the dance show. They watch the dancers spin, jump, and twirl. They clap and cheer. Lily feels happy. She dances with her dad and mom in the aisle. She hopes they will always dance together. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big ball with many colors. It is the earth. They want to count the colors. + +"Look, Ben, it is the earth!" Lila says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, Lila, it is!" Ben says. "Let's count the colors. I start. One, two, three..." + +They go near the ball. They do not know it is famous. It is in a museum. It is not for playing. It is very old and fragile. + +A man sees them. He is angry. He runs to them. He shouts. + +"Stop! Stop! What are you doing? This is not a toy! This is a precious map of the earth! It is very old and famous! You are breaking it!" + +He grabs the ball from them. He sees a big crack. He is very sad. He cries. + +Lila and Ben are scared. They do not understand. They did not want to break the ball. They just wanted to count the colors. They run away. They are not friends anymore. They never play in the park again. +Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big box of plastic fruits and vegetables that they could cut and cook. + +Sara wanted to make a fruit salad. She opened the freezer and took out a bag of frozen berries. She tried to open the bag, but it was too hard. She pulled and pulled, but the bag did not open. + +Ben saw Sara struggling with the bag. He wanted to help her. He took a big knife from the drawer and said, "I can open it for you, Sara. Watch me!" He stabbed the bag with the knife, but he did not hold it well. The knife slipped from his hand and the bag flew out of his hand too. + +The bag of frozen berries hit the floor and burst open. The berries rolled and bounced all over the kitchen. Some of them went under the table, some of them went behind the fridge, and some of them went into the dog's bowl. + +Sara and Ben gasped. They had made a big mess. They looked at each other and then at the dog, who was happily eating the berries. They did not know what to do. They heard their mom coming down the stairs. They were scared. They had dropped the bag and made a big mess. + +Mom came into the kitchen and saw the berries everywhere. She was not happy. She said, "What happened here? Who did this?" Sara and Ben looked down and said, "We did, Mom. We are sorry. We wanted to make a fruit salad, but we dropped the bag and it broke." + +Mom sighed. She said, "You should not play with knives, Ben. They are dangerous. And you should not take things from the freezer, Sara. They are cold and hard. You could hurt yourself or the dog. You should ask me before you use anything in the kitchen." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We will not do it again. We will help you clean up." Mom smiled. She said, "Thank you, Sara and Ben. I love you. You are lovely children, but you need to be careful and listen to me. Now, let's pick up the berries and put them in the trash. Then, we can make a real fruit salad together. How does that sound?" Sara and Ben smiled too. They said, "That sounds good, Mom. We love you too." They hugged Mom and then started to clean up the mess. They learned their lesson and had a fun time making a fruit salad with Mom. +Lily had a toy wolf that she loved very much. She played with it every day and took it to bed with her every night. But one day, she was too rough with it and its ear came off. Lily was very sad and cried a lot. She did not want to play with her broken wolf anymore. + +She showed her wolf to her mom and asked her to fix it. Her mom said she would try, but she needed some glue and a needle and thread. She looked for them in the kitchen and the bathroom, but she could not find them. She asked Lily to help her look for them in the bedroom and the living room. + +Lily and her mom searched everywhere, but they still could not find the glue and the needle and thread. They were about to give up, when Lily saw something shiny under the couch. She reached for it and pulled it out. It was a small box with a picture of a wolf on it. Inside the box, there were glue and a needle and thread, and a note that said: "For Lily, from Grandma. I hope you like your toy wolf. If it ever gets broken, you can use these to repair it. Love, Grandma." + +Lily was very happy and hugged the box. She showed it to her mom and said: "Look, mom, Grandma gave me these to fix my wolf. She knew I would need them. She is very smart and kind." Her mom smiled and said: "Yes, she is. Let's go and repair your wolf together." They went to the table and used the glue and the needle and thread to put the ear back on the wolf. Lily thanked her mom and kissed her wolf. She was very glad that her wolf was not broken anymore. She played with it and took it to bed with her again. She also wrote a thank you note to Grandma and put it in the box. She hoped Grandma would like it. She loved her wolf and her mom and her grandma very much. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big bridge over a stream. They wanted to cross the bridge and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find some flowers or bugs or birds." + +"OK, Lily, but be careful. The bridge is high and the water is fast," Tom said. He held Lily's hand and they walked on the bridge. + +But when they reached the middle of the bridge, they heard a loud roar. A big bear came out of the bushes and blocked their way. The bear was angry and hungry. He showed his teeth and claws and growled at them. + +"Help, Tom! What do we do?" Lily cried. She was scared and wanted to go back. + +"Don't worry, Lily. I have an idea," Tom said. He whispered something in Lily's ear and then shouted at the bear. "Hey, bear! You can't have us! We are too tough and smart for you! You are a silly and stupid bear! Why don't you go away and leave us alone?" + +The bear was surprised and confused. He did not like being called silly and stupid. He thought Tom and Lily were brave and clever. He felt humble and ashamed. He lowered his head and backed away from the bridge. + +"Wow, Tom! You did it! You made the bear surrender!" Lily said. She hugged Tom and thanked him. + +"No, Lily. We did it together. We were a good team. Come on, let's go back and tell our mom and dad what happened," Tom said. He smiled and took Lily's hand. They crossed the bridge and ran to their parents. They were happy and proud. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They made zoom sounds as they raced them on the grass. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom! My car is faster than yours!" Lily said. + +"No, it's not! My car is faster and stronger!" Ben said. + +They reached the end of the grass and turned their cars around. They zoomed back to the other side, but this time they bumped into each other. Their cars fell on the ground and their wheels came off. + +"Hey, you broke my car!" Lily cried. + +"No, you broke my car!" Ben shouted. + +They both got angry and started to fight. They pulled each other's hair and scratched each other's faces. They did not hear their mom calling them from the house. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big dog running towards them. It had sharp teeth and a long tongue. It looked hungry and angry. + +Lily and Ben were frightened. They stopped fighting and hugged each other. They did not want the dog to bite them. + +"Help, help, mom!" they screamed. + +Their mom heard them and ran out of the house. She saw the dog and picked up a stick. She waved the stick at the dog and shouted, "Go away, bad dog! Leave my children alone!" + +The dog was scared of the stick and the mom. It turned around and ran away. It did not want to fight with the mom. + +Lily and Ben were relieved. They ran to their mom and hugged her. They said they were sorry for fighting and breaking their cars. + +Their mom hugged them back and said, "It's okay, my loves. I'm glad you're safe. Fighting is not nice. You should share and play nicely with each other. And don't worry about the cars. We can fix them together." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We love you." + +They smiled and kissed their mom. They learned their lesson and did not fight again. They played with their cars and made zoom sounds. They were happy and friendly. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find some money on the floor. It is shiny and green. + +"Wow, look at this money!" Lily says. "We can buy many toys with this money!" + +Tom nods. He picks up the money and puts it in his pocket. He smiles. "Let's go to the shop and see what we can get!" + +They run to the shop. They see many things they like. Dolls, cars, books, candy. They want them all. + +"Hello, kids," the shopkeeper says. "What do you want to buy?" + +Lily and Tom show him the money. They point at the things they like. + +The shopkeeper looks at the money. He frowns. He shakes his head. "This is not real money, kids. This is play money. You can't buy anything with this. This is for pretend." + +Lily and Tom are confused. They look at the money. It looks real to them. + +"But we found it on the floor," Lily says. "It is shiny and green. It is money!" + +The shopkeeper sighs. He takes the money from Tom's pocket. He shows them the other side. It has a picture of a clown and the word "stupid". + +"See? This is a joke. Someone dropped this money to trick you. It is not nice. It is stupid. You should not play with this money. You should play with real toys." + +Lily and Tom feel sad. They feel silly. They want to cry. + +The shopkeeper feels sorry for them. He gives them a hug. He gives them a candy each. He tells them to be careful next time. + +Lily and Tom say thank you. They take the candy. They leave the shop. They decide to play something else. They don't like play money. They like real toys. And real friends. +Lily was a little dog who loved to play in the park. She liked to run, jump and chase the birds. But she did not like the fleas that sometimes bit her fur. They made her itch and scratch a lot. + +One day, she met a new friend in the park. He was a big dog with black and white spots. He had a charming smile and a wagging tail. He said his name was Spot. + +"Hello, Lily. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +"Yes, please. You look very fun," Lily said. + +They ran and jumped and chased the birds together. They had a lot of fun. But after a while, Lily felt something tickle her ear. She shook her head and scratched it with her paw. + +"What's wrong, Lily?" Spot asked. + +"I have a flea in my ear. It is very annoying," Lily said. + +"I have a flea too. It is in my back. It is very annoying too," Spot said. + +They looked at each other and sighed. They wished they did not have fleas. + +"Maybe we should go to the vet. He can help us get rid of the fleas," Lily suggested. + +"Good idea. But how do we find the vet?" Spot wondered. + +Lily thought for a moment. Then she remembered something. + +"My mom has a tag on my collar. It has the vet's name and number. She said it is to remind me where to go if I get lost or sick," Lily said. + +She showed Spot her tag. He nodded. + +"That's smart. I have a tag too. It has my name and my mom's number. She said it is to remind her where I am if I get lost or run away," Spot said. + +They showed each other their tags. They smiled. + +"Let's go to the vet then. Maybe he can give us something to make the fleas go away," Lily said. + +"OK. Let's go. Maybe we can play again later, without the fleas," Spot said. + +They walked together to the vet, holding their tags. They hoped he would be nice and gentle. They hoped they would be flea-free soon. They hoped they would be friends forever. +Lily liked to help her mom in the garden. She would kneel on the soft dirt and pull out the bad weeds. She would also water the pretty flowers and the yummy vegetables. She had a small pot of her own, where she planted a sunflower seed. + +One day, Lily saw a big bird on the fence. It had black and white feathers and a long yellow beak. It looked at Lily's pot and made a loud noise. "Caw, caw!" it said. Lily was scared. She thought the bird wanted to eat her sunflower seed. + +She ran to her mom and told her about the bird. Her mom smiled and gave her a wise advice. "Don't worry, Lily. The bird is just curious. It won't hurt your pot or your seed. But if you want to keep it away, you can hang a shiny thing on your pot. The bird will be scared of the shiny thing and fly away." + +Lily liked the idea. She found a silver spoon in the kitchen and tied a string to it. She hung the spoon on her pot and went back to the garden. She saw the bird again, but this time, it flew away when it saw the spoon. "Caw, caw!" it said. Lily was happy. She thanked her mom and hugged her pot. She hoped her sunflower seed would grow soon. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to roll them on the floor and make loud noises. + +One day, Tom found a shiny coin in his pocket. He was very happy. He wanted to buy a new car with the coin. He showed the coin to Sam and said, "Look, I have a coin. I can buy a new car. You don't have a coin. You can't buy a new car." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He wanted a coin too. He wanted a new car too. He thought, "Tom is not nice. He is mean. He does not share. I will take his coin when he is not looking." + +When Tom went to the bathroom, Sam sneaked into his room. He saw the coin on the bed. He grabbed the coin and put it in his pocket. He ran away with the coin. + +Tom came back from the bathroom. He looked for his coin. He could not find it. He searched everywhere. He asked Sam, "Sam, have you seen my coin? I left it on the bed." + +Sam lied, "No, I have not seen your coin. Maybe you lost it. Maybe it rolled under the bed." + +Tom was very sad. He cried. He said, "I did not lose it. Someone took it. Someone stole it. It was my coin. I wanted to buy a new car." + +Sam felt guilty. He knew he did a bad thing. He wanted to give the coin back to Tom. But he was afraid. He was afraid that Tom would be angry. He was afraid that Tom would not forgive him. + +He kept the coin in his pocket. He did not buy a new car. He did not play with his toy cars. He did not have fun. He felt bad. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take what is not yours. Do not lie to your brother. Do not be mean. Be honest. Be kind. Share with your brother. +Sam and Mia were playing in the yard. They had a big box of toys and they liked to make up stories with them. Sam had a toy car and Mia had a doll. They pretended they were going on a trip. + +"Let's bury the car in the sand," Sam said. "It will be a treasure for someone to find." + +"No, don't bury the car," Mia said. "I want to play with it. It's shiny and fast." + +Sam did not listen to Mia. He took the car and dug a hole in the sand. He put the car in the hole and covered it with sand. He smiled and said, "There, now it's a treasure." + +Mia was angry. She did not like that Sam took her toy. She grabbed the doll and ran away. She hid behind a tree and said, "I don't want to play with you anymore. You are mean." + +Sam felt sad. He did not mean to make Mia angry. He wanted to play with her. He looked around and saw a big white sheet hanging on a clothesline. He had an idea. He took the sheet and wrapped it around himself. He looked like a ghost. He thought he could scare Mia and make her laugh. + +He walked slowly to the tree where Mia was hiding. He made a loud boo sound. He hoped Mia would think it was funny. + +But Mia did not think it was funny. She was scared. She saw a ghost coming to her. She screamed and ran away. She ran to the house and told her mom. + +"Mom, mom, there's a ghost in the yard!" Mia said. "It's loud and scary. It tried to get me." + +Mom looked out the window and saw Sam in the sheet. She knew it was Sam. She was not scared. She was annoyed. + +"Sam, what are you doing?" Mom said. "Why are you wearing a sheet? Why did you scare Mia?" + +Sam took off the sheet and looked at Mom. He felt sorry. He did not want to scare Mia. He wanted to make her laugh. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Sam said. "I was playing ghost. I wanted to have fun with Mia. But I made her mad and scared." + +Mom shook her head. She said, "Sam, you need to learn to share and be kind. You can't take Mia's toy and bury it in the sand. You can't scare her with a sheet. That's not nice. That's not fun. That's not how you make friends." + +Sam nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Mia. I was wrong. I won't do it again. Can I say sorry to Mia? Can we play together again?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can say sorry to Mia. And yes, you can play together again. But you have to be nice and share. And no more ghosts, okay?" + +Sam said, "Okay, Mom. No more ghosts. Thank you, Mom." + +He went to Mia and hugged her. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was mean and silly. I won't take your toy or scare you again. Can we be friends again?" + +Mia smiled. She said, "It's okay, Sam. I'm sorry, too. I was angry and scared. I won't run away from you again. Can we play together again?" + +Sam said, "Yes, Mia. Let's play together again. Let's have fun." + +They took their toys and went back to the yard. They played nicely and had fun. They learned to share and be kind. They were happy. They were friends. +Ben and Lily like to play with the big print in the living room. The print has many colors and shapes and makes noise when it works. Mom and Dad use the print to make papers and photos. Sometimes they let Ben and Lily help them. + +One day, Mom and Dad are not home and Ben and Lily want to play with the print. They find some papers and crayons and draw pictures. They want to see their pictures on the print. Ben says, "I know how to load the papers. You have to put them in the wide slot." He takes the papers and puts them in the slot. But he puts too many papers and they get stuck. + +Lily says, "No, Ben, you did it wrong. You have to put only one paper at a time. Now the print is broken." She tries to pull the papers out, but they are too tight. She starts to cry. + +Ben feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break the print. Maybe we can fix it." He looks for a button or a switch to make the print work. He sees a red button and pushes it. + +The print makes a loud noise and starts to spit out papers. But the papers are not their pictures. They are Mom and Dad's papers and photos. They are all wrinkled and torn. Ben and Lily are scared. They hear the door open. Mom and Dad are home. + +They run to the print and see the mess. They are angry. They say, "Ben, Lily, what did you do? You ruined our papers and photos. You are not allowed to play with the print. You are in big trouble." + +Ben and Lily feel sad. They say, "We're sorry, Mom and Dad. We just wanted to see our pictures on the print. We didn't know how to load the papers. We tried to fix it, but we made it worse." + +Mom and Dad sigh. They say, "We know you didn't mean to harm the print, but you should have asked us first. The print is not a toy. It is a tool. You have to be careful and follow the rules. Now we have to buy a new print and new papers and photos. You have to help us clean up and pay for the damage." + +Ben and Lily nod. They say, "We understand, Mom and Dad. We're sorry. We will help you and we will not play with the print again. We will use our crayons and papers instead." + +Mom and Dad hug them. They say, "We love you, Ben and Lily. We're glad you like to draw and be creative. But next time, please ask us before you use something that is not yours. And remember, the print is not a toy." +Tom and Mia were playing on the beach. They saw a big boat on the water. It was white and shiny. They wanted to go on the boat. + +"Let's go on the boat!" Tom said. "It looks fun!" + +"But we don't have a ticket," Mia said. "And we don't know the people on the boat. They might be mean." + +Tom did not listen to Mia. He was ignorant. He ran to the boat. He climbed on the ladder. He saw a man on the boat. The man was angry. + +"Hey, kid, what are you doing here?" the man shouted. "This is not your boat. Get off!" + +Tom was scared. He screamed. He fell off the ladder. He splashed into the water. He cried. + +Mia ran to Tom. She helped him out of the water. She hugged him. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" she asked. "You were silly. You should have listened to me." + +Tom was sorry. He nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. You were right. I was ignorant. I won't go on the boat again." + +Mia smiled. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. Let's go back to our sandcastle. It's safer and more fun." + +Tom and Mia went back to their sandcastle. They played happily. They learned their lesson. They never went on the boat again. +Lily liked to read books. She had many books in her room. She read books about animals, princesses, and cars. She read books every day. + +One day, Lily saw a new book on the table. It was a pretty book. It had a picture of a snowman on the cover. Lily wanted to read the book. She picked up the book and opened it. + +"Hello, I am Sam the snowman," the book said. "I live in the freezer. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily was surprised. The book could talk. She liked the snowman. He had a funny voice. She said, "Yes, I want to play with you. How can I play with you?" + +The book said, "You can play with me in the freezer. Come with me. It is fun in the freezer. There are many ice creams and popsicles. You can eat them and make snowballs. It is not cold in the freezer. It is cozy and warm." + +Lily believed the book. She wanted to play with the snowman. She wanted to eat ice creams and popsicles. She wanted to make snowballs. She said, "OK, I will come with you. Let's go to the freezer." + +Lily took the book and went to the kitchen. She opened the freezer door. She saw the snowman inside. He smiled at her. He said, "Come in, Lily. I am waiting for you." + +Lily climbed into the freezer. She closed the door behind her. She did not know that the freezer was very cold. She did not know that the snowman was a bad snowman. He wanted to trap her in the freezer. He wanted to make her into a snowman too. + +Lily started to feel cold. She started to shiver. She started to cry. She wanted to get out of the freezer. She wanted to go back to her room. She wanted to read her other books. She wanted to see her mom and dad. But it was too late. The freezer was locked. The snowman was laughing. Lily was stuck in the freezer. She was very sad. She was very scared. She was very cold. The end. +Sara and Tom were playing with their toy automobiles in the yard. They liked to pretend they were driving to different places and having adventures. Sara had a red automobile and Tom had a blue one. + +"Let's go to the park and see the ducks," Sara said. + +"Okay, but we have to pay the toll first," Tom said. He pointed to a cardboard box that he had decorated with stickers and crayons. It was his toll booth. + +Sara drove her automobile to the box and stopped. "How much do I have to pay?" she asked. + +"Two cookies," Tom said. He held out his hand. + +Sara was upset. She only had one cookie left in her pocket. She had eaten the other one before. She did not want to give Tom her last cookie. She wanted to save it for later. + +"That's not fair," she said. "You always charge too much. I don't want to pay two cookies." + +Tom was upset too. He thought Sara was being stingy. He wanted to have more cookies. He liked cookies a lot. + +"Yes, you do," he said. "That's the rule. If you don't pay, you can't go to the park." + +Sara and Tom started to argue. They raised their voices and made angry faces. They did not notice that their dog, Spot, was watching them. Spot was hungry. He smelled the cookie in Sara's pocket. He decided to take it. + +While Sara and Tom were still fighting, Spot jumped on Sara and snatched the cookie from her pocket. He ran away with it, wagging his tail. + +Sara and Tom stopped arguing. They saw Spot with the cookie. They were shocked. + +"Hey, that's my cookie!" Sara shouted. + +"No, that's my cookie!" Tom shouted. + +They both ran after Spot, trying to get the cookie back. They forgot about their automobiles and the toll booth and the park. They only cared about the cookie. + +Spot was faster than them. He ate the cookie and licked his lips. He was happy. He had the best cookie ever. +Lily likes to play with her mom's purse. She likes to open it and see what is inside. She likes to touch the keys, the phone, the wallet and the lipstick. She likes to pretend she is going out like her mom. + +One day, Lily finds her mom's purse on the sofa. She thinks it is a good time to play with it. She opens it and takes out the keys. She hears a jingle sound. She likes the sound. She shakes the keys and hears the sound again. + +She sees the phone and takes it out too. She hears a beep sound. She likes the sound. She presses the buttons and hears more beeps. She puts the phone to her ear and hears a voice. She does not know the voice. She says hello. + +The voice says hello back. The voice asks who is this. Lily says Lily. The voice says Lily who. Lily says Lily who likes to play with mom's purse. The voice says oh, I see. The voice says this is dad. Lily says dad. + +Dad says he is at work.

She is happy. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys of different shapes and colors. Mom said they had to sort their toys before they could have a snack. Tim liked to sort his toys by shape. He put all the balls in one pile, all the blocks in another pile, and all the cars in a third pile. Lily liked to sort her toys by color. She put all the red toys in one pile, all the blue toys in another pile, and all the yellow toys in a third pile. + +"Look, Tim, I sorted my toys by color. Do you like it?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, Lily, your toys look nice. But I sorted my toys by shape. See, I have balls, blocks, and cars. I like it better," Tim said. + +They looked at each other's piles and wondered who was right. They decided to ask Mom. + +"Mom, who sorted their toys better, me or Lily?" Tim asked. + +"Mom, who sorted their toys better, me or Lily?" Lily asked. + +Mom smiled and hugged them both. "You both sorted your toys very well. There is no right or wrong way to sort toys. You can sort them by shape, by color, or by any other way you like. The important thing is that you have fun and keep your toys neat and tidy," Mom said. + +Tim and Lily nodded and thanked Mom. They were happy that Mom liked their sorting. They asked Mom if they could have a snack now. + +"Sure, you can have a snack. But first, you have to help me with something. It's very cold outside and there is a lot of snow. I need you to help me cut some icy branches from the tree in the backyard. They are too heavy and they might fall and hurt someone. Can you do that?" Mom asked. + +Tim and Lily agreed to help Mom. They put on their coats, hats, gloves, and boots. They followed Mom to the backyard. They saw the icy branches sparkling in the sun. They looked pretty, but they also looked dangerous. Mom gave them a pair of scissors and showed them how to cut the icy branches carefully. They worked together and cut many icy branches. They piled them up on the side of the yard. They felt proud and helpful. + +"Good job, Tim and Lily. You helped me a lot. Now we can have a snack. How about some hot chocolate and cookies?"

They pretend to fly to the moon and Mars. They have a lot of fun. They play with the spaceship every day for a week. + +One day, a storm comes. The wind is strong and the rain is heavy. The spaceship gets wet and dirty. Lily and Ben are sad. They think their spaceship is ruined. + +But then, Ben has a smart idea. He says, "Don't worry, Lily. We can save our spaceship. We can bring it inside and fix it. We can use more tape and paint and stickers. We can make it even better than before." + +Lily smiles. She says, "You are right, Ben. We can save our spaceship. We are a good team. We can do anything." + +They carry the spaceship inside. They work hard to repair it. They make it shiny and colorful again. They are proud of their spaceship. They hug each other and say, "We did it! We saved our spaceship!" +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the forest with their mom and dad. They see many trees, flowers, birds and bugs. They enjoy the forest very much. + +"Look, Lily, a butterfly!" Ben says. He runs after the butterfly. He wants to catch it. + +"Wait for me, Ben!" Lily says. She follows Ben. She likes butterflies too. + +But the butterfly is fast and clever. It flies away from Ben and Lily. It goes over the trees and out of sight. Ben and Lily are frustrated. They cannot catch the butterfly. + +"Come back, butterfly!" Ben shouts. + +"Please, butterfly!" Lily begs. + +But the butterfly does not come back. Ben and Lily are sad. They sit on the ground and pout. + +Mom and dad see Ben and Lily. They come to them and hug them. + +"Don't be sad, Ben and Lily," mom says. "The butterfly is free. It likes to fly in the forest. Maybe you can see it again another day." + +"Or maybe you can see other things in the forest," dad says. "There are many things to enjoy in the forest. Do you want to go for a walk and see?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They wipe their tears and smile. They hold mom and dad's hands. They go for a walk in the forest. They see a squirrel, a deer, a frog and a bird. They enjoy the forest again. They forget about the butterfly. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go on a journey!" Ben says. "Maybe we will find something fun!" + +Anna is nervous. She thinks the hill is too high and steep. She does not want to get lost or hurt. She says, "I don't know, Ben. The hill looks scary. What if we fall or get stuck?" + +Ben smiles. He says, "Don't be afraid, Anna. We can do it. We just have to run fast and hold hands. Come on, it will be fun!" + +Anna trusts Ben. She holds his hand and runs with him. They run up the hill, feeling the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and shout as they run. They reach the top of the hill and look around. They see a big lake with ducks and fish. They see a bridge and a path. They see flowers and trees. They see a lot of things they have never seen before. + +"Wow!" Ben says. "This is amazing! We did it, Anna! We went on a journey!" + +Anna smiles. She says, "Yes, we did, Ben! And it was fun! I'm glad we ran up the hill. You are a good friend!" + +They hug and sit on the grass. They watch the lake and the ducks. They eat some snacks and drink some water. They are happy and proud. They have gone on a journey. And they have done it together. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box and some crayons. They wanted to make a house for their toys. + +"Let's include our rabbit in the house," Anna said. "He can be our pet." + +"OK," Ben said. "But we need to make a door for him. He is too big to fit in the box." + +They cut a hole in the side of the box with scissors. They drew windows and flowers on the box with crayons. They put a blanket inside the box for the rabbit. + +"Come on, rabbit," Anna said. "This is your new home. It is very cozy and pretty." + +But the rabbit did not want to go in the box. He was impatient. He wanted to hop around the garden and eat grass. He did not like the blanket. He scratched it with his paws. + +"Rabbit, stop that!" Ben said. "You are ruining our house. You have to be nice and quiet." + +The rabbit did not listen. He pushed the box with his nose. He made the box fall over. He ran out of the hole. + +"Rabbit, come back!" Anna said. "We made this house for you. We love you." + +But the rabbit did not come back. He hid under a bush. He was happy there. He did not need a house. He had the garden. +Tom and Jen like to play cops and robbers. Tom is the cop and Jen is the robber. Jen has a bag of toys that she pretends are money. She runs away from Tom and tries to hide. + +Tom chases Jen and says, "Stop, robber! Give me the money!" Jen says, "No, cop! You can't catch me!" She runs very fast, but Tom runs faster. He picks up a stick and throws it at Jen. The stick hits Jen's leg and she falls down. + +Tom runs to Jen and says, "I got you, robber! You are going to jail!" He picks up Jen and carries her to a big box. He puts Jen in the box and says, "This is your jail. You have to stay here until you say sorry." Jen says, "No, cop! I don't want to stay in jail. Let me out!" + +Tom says, "No, robber! You have to learn your lesson. You can't take other people's money. That is bad." Jen says, "But cop, it is just a game. The money is not real. It is just toys." Tom says, "Oh, really? Let me see." He opens the box and looks at the bag of toys. He sees a teddy bear, a ball, a car, and a book. + +Tom says, "You are right, robber. The money is not real. It is just toys. But you still have to say sorry for running away and hiding." Jen says, "OK, cop. I am sorry for running away and hiding. Can we be friends again?" Tom says, "Yes, robber. We can be friends again. But next time, let's play something else. How about we play doctor and patient?" Jen says, "OK, cop. That sounds fun. You can be the doctor and I can be the patient. But don't pick me up and put me in a box again. That is not nice." Tom says, "OK, patient. I won't pick you up and put you in a box again. That is not nice. Come on, let's go and play." They hug and run to the house. They are happy. The end. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big star in the sky. It was bright and shiny. + +"Look, a star!" Sara said. "I wish I could touch it." + +"Me too," Ben said. "But it is too far away. How can we get closer?" + +They thought hard. They had an idea. They got a ladder from the shed. They put it against the wall. They climbed up the ladder. + +"Can you reach it?" Sara asked. + +"No, it is still too far away," Ben said. "Maybe we need help." + +They saw a bird flying by. It had colorful feathers and a loud voice. + +"Hello, bird!" Sara called. "Can you help us? We want to touch the star." + +The bird looked at them. It laughed. + +"Ha ha ha! You are ignorant!" the bird said. "You cannot touch the star. It is not a thing. It is a ball of fire. It is very hot. It will burn you." + +Sara and Ben felt sad.

Do you want to win the prize?" + +Lily and Max were surprised. They looked at each other. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. + +"I am the prize master. I have a game for you. If you answer my riddles, you can have the prize. If you fail, you get nothing. Do you want to play?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They liked games. + +"OK, here is the first riddle. What is round and yellow and shines in the sky?" + +Lily and Max thought hard. + +"Is it a sunflower?" Max guessed. + +"No, that is not right. Try again," the voice said. + +"Is it a lemon?" Lily tried. + +"No, that is not right either. One more chance," the voice said. + +Lily and Max looked up at the sky. They saw something bright and warm. + +"Is it the sun?" they said together. + +"Yes, that is right. You are smart. Here is the second riddle. What is soft and white and falls from the sky?" + +Lily and Max thought again. + +"Is it a cloud?" Lily asked. + +"No, that is not right. Clouds do not fall. Try again," the voice said. + +"Is it a feather?" Max asked. + +"No, that is not right either. Feathers are not always white. One more chance," the voice said. + +Lily and Max felt something cold and wet on their noses. They looked around and saw many small flakes. + +"Is it snow?" they said together. + +"Yes, that is right. You are clever. Here is the final riddle. What is in the box?" + +Lily and Max wondered. They had no idea. + +"Is it a toy?" Lily asked. + +"No, that is not right. Try again," the voice said. + +"Is it a cake?" Max asked. + +"No, that is not right either. One more chance," the voice said. + +Lily and Max looked at the box. It was big and brown and had a sign that said "Prize". + +"Is it a prize?" they said together. + +"Yes, that is right. You are brilliant. You have won the game. You can have the prize. But you have to open the box first. Here is the key," the voice said. + +The voice threw a key out of the box. Lily and Max caught it. They unlocked the box and opened it. They gasped. Inside the box was a big, fluffy, friendly bear. It smiled at them. + +"Hello, little ones. I am the prize. You can take me home and play with me. I am your new friend," the bear said. + +Lily and Max were happy. They hugged the bear and thanked the voice. + +"Thank you, prize master. You are very kind and fun," they said. + +"You are very welcome, little ones. You are very smart and brave. I hope you enjoy the prize. Goodbye," the voice said. + +The voice was silent. Lily and Max took the bear and ran to their parents. They showed them the prize and told them the story. Their parents were amazed and proud. They all went home together. Lily and Max had a new friend. They named him Riddle. They played with him every day. They never wondered who the prize master was. They thought he was mysterious and magical. They were happy. The end. +Lily was a rabbit who liked to hop and play with her friends. She was very happy, but she was also very nervous. She was going to marry Ben, another rabbit who was kind and funny. She loved Ben, but she did not know what to do at the wedding. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, what do I do when I marry Ben?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "You just have to say 'I do' when the owl asks you. Then you can kiss Ben and wear a pretty flower on your head. And then you can eat cake and dance with your friends." + +Lily nodded, but she was still nervous. She wanted everything to be perfect. + +The next day, Lily and Ben went to the meadow where the wedding was. There were many rabbits and other animals there. They all looked happy and excited. The owl was the one who married them. He said, "Do you, Lily, take Ben to be your husband?" + +Lily looked at Ben and saw his big smile. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She said, "I do." + +The owl said, "Do you, Ben, take Lily to be your wife?" + +Ben looked at Lily and saw her bright eyes. He felt a happy feeling in his chest. He said, "I do." + +The owl said, "Then I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." + +Lily and Ben kissed and everyone cheered. Lily felt a soft flower on her head. She was not nervous anymore. She was very happy. She and Ben ate cake and danced with their friends. They thanked everyone for coming. They hugged their moms and dads. They said, "We are married. We are happy. We love each other." +Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green and more. + +One day, they want to make a big bridge with the blocks. They put some blocks on the floor and some blocks on a board. The board is long and thin. They lean the board on a chair and a table. They put more blocks on the board. The bridge is almost done. + +"Look, Anna, our bridge is so nice!" Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, it is very nice. Can we put a car on it?" Anna asks. + +"OK, let me get a car," Ben says. He goes to the toy box and finds a car. It is a red car with four wheels. + +He comes back to the bridge and puts the car on the board. But the car is too heavy for the board. The board starts to bend and shake. The blocks start to fall. + +"Oh no, our bridge is breaking!" Anna cries. + +"Help, help, what can we do?" Ben shouts. + +They see Tom, their big brother, in the room. He is reading a book on the sofa. He hears their cries and looks at their bridge. + +"Tom, can you help us? Our bridge is breaking!" Anna and Ben say. + +Tom puts down his book and comes to their bridge. He sees the problem. He is helpful and smart. + +"Don't worry, Anna and Ben, I can help you. You need to make the board stronger. You can use some books to support the board. Here, let me show you," Tom says. + +He takes some books from the shelf and puts them under the board. He makes sure the board is stable and level. He puts the car back on the board. The bridge does not break anymore. + +"Wow, Tom, you are so helpful! Thank you for saving our bridge!" Anna and Ben say. + +"You're welcome, Anna and Ben. I'm glad you like your bridge. It is very nice. Can I play with you?" Tom asks. + +"Of course, Tom, you can play with us. You can drive the car on the bridge. We can make more bridges and cars with the blocks. We can have fun together," Anna and Ben say. + +They smile and hug Tom. They play with the blocks and the car and the bridge. They are happy. +Anna loved to polish her toy aeroplane. She used a soft cloth and some water to make it shiny and clean. She liked to pretend that she was a pilot and flew to different places. + +One day, she took her aeroplane outside and played with her friend Ben. Ben had a toy car that he also liked to polish. They raced their toys on the grass and made loud noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm faster than you!" Ben said. + +"No, you're not, I'm faster than you!" Anna said. + +They laughed and had fun. + +Suddenly, they heard a real aeroplane in the sky. They looked up and saw a big, white aeroplane with red stripes. It was flying very high and fast. + +"Wow, look at that aeroplane!" Anna said. + +"It's so big and lively!" Ben said. + +They waved at the aeroplane and hoped that the pilot could see them. They wondered where the aeroplane was going and what it was like to fly in it. + +They decided to polish their toys some more and make them look like the real aeroplane. They dreamed of flying in the sky one day. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big truck with a sign that says "gas". They are curious and want to see what is inside. + +"Let's go look at the truck," Tom says. + +"No, we can't. Mommy said gas is dangerous. It can make fire and hurt us," Mia says. + +"But I want to see. Maybe there are toys or candy inside," Tom says. He runs to the truck and tries to open the door. + +Mia follows him and pulls his arm. "Stop, Tom. You don't understand. Gas is not for playing. It is for cars and stoves and heaters. If you touch it, it can make a big boom and make us cry." + +Tom looks at Mia and sees that she is scared. He thinks for a moment and then lets go of the door. "Okay, Mia. You are right. Gas is dangerous. I don't want to make a boom or make us cry. Let's go play somewhere else." + +Mia smiles and hugs Tom. "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I love you." + +They hold hands and run to the swings. They forget about the truck and have fun in the park. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. They saw a big hill with rocks and grass. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Can we go up there, mom?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, but be careful and listen to me," mom said. "There is a cliff on the other side, and it is very high and steep. You don't want to fall down and get hurt." + +Lila and Ben nodded and ran up the hill. They held hands and helped each other. They reached the top and looked around. They saw trees and flowers and birds. They also saw the cliff that mom had warned them about. It was scary and deep. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. + +"Let's go closer and see more," Lila said. + +"No, Lila, we have to listen to mom and stay away from the cliff," Ben said. + +"But I want to see more," Lila said. "It's not fair. You're always so lazy and boring." + +Lila let go of Ben's hand and walked towards the cliff. She didn't see the loose rock that was under her foot. She stepped on it and slipped. She screamed and started to fall. + +"Lila!" Ben shouted. He ran to the edge and reached out his hand. He grabbed Lila's hand just in time. He pulled her back to safety. + +"Lila, are you okay?" Ben asked. + +Lila was crying and shaking. She hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was stupid and didn't listen to mom. Thank you for saving me. You're not lazy and boring. You're brave and smart." + +Ben hugged Lila back and said, "It's okay, Lila. I'm glad you're okay. I love you, sis." + +They heard mom and dad calling them. They ran down the hill and told them what happened. Mom and dad were scared and angry, but also relieved and proud. They hugged and kissed Lila and Ben and said, "We love you, kids. But please, always listen to us and be careful. The cliff is dangerous and you could have been hurt." + +Lila and Ben said, "We're sorry, mom and dad. We love you too. We learned our lesson. We will always listen to you and be careful." + +They went home and had some cookies and milk. They played and laughed and forgot about the cliff. They were happy and safe. +Lila and Tom are playing in the backyard. They like to dig in the dirt and look for rocks. Sometimes they find shiny rocks or smooth rocks or colorful rocks. They have a big box where they keep their rocks. + +One day, they find a very special rock. It is big and round and has many sparkles. It is very heavy and warm. Lila and Tom are very happy. They think it is a mineral. They want to show it to their mom and dad. + +"Look, look, we found a mineral!" they shout, running to the house. "It is very pretty and powerful!" + +Mom and dad come out to see. They are surprised and curious. They touch the rock and feel a strange tingling. They look at each other and smile. + +"Wow, you did find a mineral, a very rare and powerful one!" mom says. "Do you know what it is? It is a crystal. It has energy and magic. You are very lucky!" + +Lila and Tom are amazed and excited. They hug the crystal and each other. They wonder what kind of magic the crystal has. They decide to keep it in their room and make it their secret treasure. They think it is the best rock they ever found. +Anna and Ben like to play on the beach. They look for shells in the sand and in the water. They find many shells of different colors and shapes. They put them in a bucket and show them to each other. + +"Look at this shell, Ben! It is big and shiny and has stripes!" Anna says. + +"That is a nice shell, Anna! But look at this one! It is small and round and has spots!" Ben says. + +They laugh and compare their shells. They are happy and proud of their collection. + +But then a big wave comes and knocks over their bucket. All their shells spill out and get washed away by the water. Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They cry and scream. + +"Where are our shells? We worked so hard to find them!" Anna says. + +"They are gone, Anna! The wave took them away! It is not fair!" Ben says. + +They try to look for their shells, but they cannot find them. They are lost and gone. Anna and Ben are not happy and proud anymore. They are unsuccessful and disappointed. They do not laugh anymore. They have a bad day on the beach. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big group of ducks by the pond. They think the ducks are funny and cute. + +"Let's feed the ducks!" Tim says. He has some bread in his bag. He breaks the bread into small pieces and throws them to the ducks. + +"Me too!" Sam says. He has some cookies in his bag. He breaks the cookies into small pieces and throws them to the ducks. + +The ducks are happy. They eat the bread and the cookies. They think they are yummy. They quack and swim and flap their wings. + +But then, something bad happens. The ducks get sick. The bread and the cookies are not good for them. They make their tummies hurt. They make them feel weak and dizzy. They make them fall into the water and drown. + +Tim and Sam are sad. They did not know they hurt the ducks. They cry and run away. They wish they did not feed the ducks. They wish they listened to their moms. Their moms told them not to feed the ducks. Their moms knew better. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big box. They want to make a shelter with the box. + +They put the box on the grass. They find some sticks and leaves. They put them on the box. They make a roof and a door. They are happy. They have a shelter. + +They go inside the shelter. They pretend they are famous. They are stars on TV. They sing and dance. They make funny faces. They have fun. + +A dog comes to the park. He sees the shelter. He likes the shelter. He wants to go inside. He barks and scratches the door. + +Lila and Tom hear the dog. They are scared. They open the door. They see the dog. He is big and brown. He has a collar. He is not mean. He is friendly. + +The dog wags his tail. He licks Lila and Tom. They laugh. They pet the dog. They make a new friend. They share the shelter with the dog. They are happy. They have fun. +Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +Then, Lila saw a shiny toy car in the snow. It was red and yellow and had four wheels. She wanted to play with it. She ran to the toy car and picked it up. + +"Look, Ben, look what I found!" she said. "It's a toy car! It's so pretty!" + +Ben looked at the toy car. He recognized it. It was his toy car. He had lost it yesterday when he was playing outside. He was sad. + +"That's my toy car, Lila!" he said. "Give it back to me! I lost it yesterday!" + +Lila shook her head. She liked the toy car. She wanted to keep it. + +"No, Ben, it's mine!" she said. "I found it in the snow! It's my toy car!" + +Ben was angry. He tried to grab the toy car from Lila. But Lila held it tight. She refused to give it back. They started to pull and tug on the toy car. They shouted at each other. + +"Mine!" + +"No, mine!" + +"Mine!" + +"No, mine!" + +The snowman watched them. He felt sorry for them. He wished they could share and be friends. He decided to do something. He reached out his stick arm and gently tapped Lila and Ben on their heads. + +"Ow!" they said. They stopped fighting. They looked at the snowman. They saw his carrot nose and his rock eyes. They saw his hat and his scarf. They saw his stick arm. + +They realized that the snowman was alive. They were surprised. They were scared. + +"Hello, Lila and Ben," the snowman said. "Why are you fighting over a toy car? It's just a toy. It's not worth losing a friend. Can't you share and be nice?" + +Lila and Ben felt ashamed. They knew the snowman was right. They looked at each other. They felt sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lila said. "You can have your toy car back. I didn't know it was yours." + +"I'm sorry, Lila," Ben said. "You can play with my toy car if you want. I don't mind." + +They smiled at each other. They hugged. They thanked the snowman. + +"You're welcome, Lila and Ben," the snowman said. "I'm glad you're friends again. Now, do you want to play with me? We can make more snowmen, or snowballs, or snow angels. It's fun!" + +Lila and Ben nodded. They agreed. They put the toy car in the snow. They didn't care about it anymore. They cared about each other. They cared about the snowman. They played with him in the icy snow. They were very happy. +Tom and Mia went to the park with Mom. They saw a big tent with many colors. Mom said it was a circus. They wanted to see the circus. Mom bought tickets and they went inside. + +Inside the tent, they saw many animals and people doing funny things. There was a man with a big red nose and a funny hat. He was a clown. He made jokes and threw pies at other clowns. Tom and Mia laughed a lot. + +The clown saw Tom and Mia and came to them. He had a thick flower on his chest. He said hello and asked their names. Tom and Mia told him. The clown smiled and said they were very nice. He asked if they wanted to see a trick. Tom and Mia nodded. + +The clown said he would make water come out of his flower. He asked Tom to poke the flower. Tom reached out and poked the flower. But instead of water, a loud horn sound came out. The clown pretended to be scared and jumped. Tom and Mia were surprised and then laughed. The clown laughed too and said it was a joke. + +The clown gave Tom and Mia a balloon each. He said they were very good and he hoped they enjoyed the circus. Tom and Mia thanked him and hugged him. They liked the clown. He was funny and kind. They waved goodbye and went to see more of the circus with Mom. They had a lot of fun. +Tom and Lily were playing pirates in the backyard. They had a big barrel that they used as a ship. They put a stick and a cloth on it to make a flag. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Tom said. "Are you ready to take the treasure from the bad pirates?" + +"Yes, captain!" Lily said. "But where is the treasure?" + +Tom pointed to a pile of rocks and sticks. "There it is, on the island. We have to be sneaky and fast." + +They jumped out of the barrel and ran to the pile. They grabbed some rocks and sticks and put them in a bag. + +"Look, we did it!" Lily said. "We have the treasure!" + +But then they heard a loud bark. It was Rex, the dog from next door. He had seen them and wanted to play. + +"Uh-oh, it's the bad pirate dog!" Tom said. "He wants to take our treasure!" + +They ran back to the barrel and climbed inside. They held the bag tightly. + +"Go away, bad pirate dog!" Lily said. "This is our treasure!" + +Rex barked and wagged his tail. He thought it was a game. He jumped on the barrel and tried to get inside. + +The barrel rolled and bounced. Tom and Lily screamed and laughed. They felt like they were on a real ship in a storm. + +They had fun playing pirates with the barrel, the treasure, and the bad pirate dog. +Anna and Ben are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going to the park. Anna and Ben like the park. They can play on the swings and the slide. They can see the ducks and the flowers. + +On the way, they see a big billboard. It has a picture of a pizza. The pizza looks yummy. It has cheese and tomato and pepperoni. Anna and Ben love pizza. + +"Look, Mom, pizza!" Anna says. + +"Can we have pizza, Dad?" Ben asks. + +Mom and Dad smile. They say, "Maybe later. We have sandwiches for lunch. They are in the cooler." + +Anna and Ben are not happy. They want pizza. They do not want sandwiches. They make a frown. + +They get to the park. Mom and Dad take out the cooler. They give Anna and Ben a sandwich each. Anna and Ben do not say thank you. They do not eat their sandwiches. They chew on the paper. They spit out the paper. They make a mess. + +Mom and Dad are not happy. They see the mess. They say, "Anna and Ben, that is not nice. You should not chew on the paper. You should eat your sandwiches. They are good for you." + +Anna and Ben do not listen. They say, "We want pizza. We do not want sandwiches. They are yucky." + +Mom and Dad shake their heads. They say, "You are being silly. You are wasting food. You are making a mess. You are not going to the swings and the slide. You are going to time out." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They do not want to go to time out. They want to go to the swings and the slide. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We will eat our sandwiches. We will clean up the mess. We will be good." + +Mom and Dad hug them. They say, "That is better. We love you. You can have pizza another day. But first, you have to eat your sandwiches. They are not yucky. They are tasty." + +Anna and Ben nod. They eat their sandwiches. They do not chew on the paper. They do not spit out the paper. They do not make a mess. They say thank you. + +Mom and Dad smile.

They had words that made her happy, like sun, moon, star, flower, and love. + +One day, Sara wanted to read a poem to her dad. She asked him to sit with her and listen. She said, "Dad, I have a request. Can I read you a poem from my book? It is very beautiful." + +Dad was busy. He had a lot of work to do on his computer. He did not want to listen to Sara. He said, "Not now, Sara. I have no time for poems. Go play with your toys." + +Sara felt sad. She loved her dad and wanted to share her poem with him. She thought he would like it too. She said, "Please, dad. Just one poem. It is very short. It will make you smile." + +Dad was angry. He did not like Sara's request. He said, "No, Sara. I said no. Stop bothering me. Go away." + +Sara felt hurt. She did not understand why dad was so mean. She ran to her room and cried. She hugged her book of poems and wished dad would love her and her poems. She did not know that dad was sorry. He did not mean to hurt Sara. He was just stressed and tired. He wanted to read Sara's poem later, but he forgot. He did not know how to say sorry to Sara. He did not know how to make her happy again. +Lily and Max went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They also liked to eat ice cream from the truck. + +One day, they saw a big shell on the sand. It was shiny and pretty. Lily wanted to take it home. She picked it up and put it in her bucket. But Max wanted it too. He grabbed it from her bucket and ran away. + +"Give it back, Max!" Lily shouted. She chased him along the beach. Max laughed and ran faster. He did not see the rock in front of him. He tripped and fell. The shell flew out of his hand and landed in his mouth. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Max cried. He spit out the shell. It was bitter and hard. He hurt his teeth and his tongue. He started to cry. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was sorry he was hurt. She gave him her ice cream to make him feel better. She did not want the shell anymore. She said, "I'm sorry, Max. You can have the shell. I love you." + +Max smiled and hugged her back. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You can have the shell. I love you too." + +They shared the ice cream and the shell. They were happy. Mom and Dad smiled and took a picture of them. They had a good day at the beach. +Lily and Tom were having lunch with their mom. They liked to eat soup and bread, but they wanted different things on their bread. Lily liked butter and jam, but Tom liked cheese and salt. He always asked for more salt, even when mom said it was not good for him. + +"Can I have more salt, please?" Tom requested, holding his bread. + +"No, Tom, you have enough salt. Too much salt is bad for your teeth and your tummy," mom said. + +"But I like salt. It makes the cheese taste better," Tom said. + +He looked at the salt shaker on the table. It was shiny and round, and it had a hairy lid. Tom wondered what was inside the lid. He reached for the salt shaker, but mom saw him and stopped him. + +"Tom, don't touch that. It's not a toy. It's a salt shaker, and it has a surprise inside," mom said. + +"What surprise?" Tom asked, curious. + +"You'll see. But you have to wait until after lunch. Now finish your soup and bread, and be a good boy," mom said. + +Tom was not happy. He wanted to see the surprise. He thought it might be something fun, like a toy or a candy. He decided to wait until mom was not looking, and then he would take the salt shaker and open the hairy lid. + +He waited and waited, until mom went to the kitchen to get some water. Then he quickly grabbed the salt shaker and twisted the hairy lid. He expected to see something nice, but he was wrong. He saw something scary, something that made him scream. + +Out of the salt shaker came a big, black spider. It was hairy and spiky, and it had eight legs and eight eyes. It crawled out of the lid and onto Tom's hand. Tom was terrified. He dropped the salt shaker and the spider, and ran to mom. + +"Mom, mom, help! There's a spider, a hairy spider, on the table!" Tom cried. + +Mom came back to the table and saw the mess. She saw the salt shaker, the spider, and Tom's scared face. She was not happy. She was angry. + +"Tom, what did you do? I told you not to touch the salt shaker. I told you it had a surprise inside. It was a prank, a joke, for dad. He hates spiders, and I wanted to make him laugh. But you ruined it. You were naughty and curious, and you got yourself into trouble," mom said. + +She picked up the spider and put it back in the salt shaker. She closed the hairy lid and put it away. She cleaned up the table and gave Tom a hug. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was silly. I won't touch the salt shaker again. I don't like spiders. They are hairy and scary," Tom said. + +"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to learn to listen to me, and not to play with things that are not yours. And you have to eat less salt, because it's not good for you. Do you understand?" mom said. + +"Yes, mom. I understand. I love you, mom," Tom said. + +"I love you too, Tom. Now let's finish our lunch, and then we can have some cookies. But no more salt, okay?" mom said. + +"Okay, mom. No more salt. Just cookies," Tom said. + +They smiled and hugged, and ate their lunch. They forgot about the spider and the salt shaker, until dad came home. Then they had another surprise, but that's another story. +Lila and her dog Spot loved to play in the backyard. They ran, jumped, and chased each other. Sometimes, Lila would throw a ball and Spot would fetch it. Spot was a loyal dog. He always came back to Lila and gave her the ball. + +One day, Lila saw a butterfly in the backyard. It was yellow and black, and it flew around the flowers. Lila wanted to catch it. She ran after it, but it was too fast. She grabbed a net and tried again. She almost had it, but it flew away. + +"Spot, help me catch the butterfly!" Lila said. Spot barked and ran with her. He saw the butterfly and jumped to catch it. He was faster than Lila. He caught the butterfly in his mouth. + +"Good boy, Spot!" Lila said. She ran to him and petted him. "Now, let me see the butterfly." She opened his mouth and took out the butterfly. It was still alive, but it was scared. It did not move. + +Lila felt sorry for the butterfly. She did not want to hurt it. She wanted to see it fly. She held it gently in her hand and said, "Thank you, Spot, for helping me catch the butterfly. But I think we should let it go. It wants to be free and happy. Do you understand?" + +Spot looked at Lila and the butterfly. He wagged his tail and licked her face. He understood. He was a loyal dog. He wanted Lila to be happy too. + +Lila smiled and said, "OK, Spot, let's release the butterfly. Ready?" She opened her hand and let the butterfly go. It fluttered its wings and flew away. Lila and Spot watched it until it disappeared. + +"Bye, butterfly!" Lila said. "Have fun!" Spot barked and wagged his tail. Lila hugged him and said, "You are the best dog ever, Spot. I love you!" Spot licked her face and said, "I love you too, Lila!" They went back to playing in the backyard. They were happy. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with cars and trucks. One day, they saw a big red fire truck parked outside their house. They ran to the window and watched the firemen get out and go into the next door house. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Tim said. "It has a ladder and a hose and a siren!" + +"I want to go see it!" Sam said. "Can we go outside, Mom?" + +Mom was busy making lunch in the kitchen. She said, "No, you have to stay inside. The firemen are working and it's not safe to go near the truck. You can watch from the window, but don't touch anything." + +Tim and Sam felt anxious. They wanted to go outside and touch the truck and talk to the firemen. They wondered what was happening in the next door house. Was there a fire? Was someone hurt? They wished they could help. + +They waited and waited, but the firemen did not come out. They heard the siren of another truck coming. They looked out the window and saw a white ambulance stop behind the fire truck. Two men in white clothes got out and carried a stretcher into the house. + +"Who do you think is on the stretcher?" Tim asked. + +"Maybe it's Mr. Jones, the old man who lives there," Sam said. "He always walks with a cane. Maybe he hurt his leg." + +"Or maybe it's his cat, Fluffy," Tim said. "She always sits on the porch and meows. Maybe she got burned by the fire." + +They felt sorry for Mr. Jones and Fluffy. They hoped they were okay. They wanted to do something nice for them. + +They had an idea. They went to their room and got their piggy banks. They broke them open and counted their coins. They had enough to buy a card and a balloon. They put on their coats and shoes and ran to the door. + +"Mom, we're going to the store!" Tim said. + +"Wait, what?" Mom said. "You can't go outside. The firemen are still working. And you need to eat lunch. Come back here!" + +But Tim and Sam did not listen. They opened the door and ran outside. They did not see the firemen or the ambulance. They only saw the big red fire truck. They ran towards it, hoping to get a closer look. + +But they did not see the hose that was lying on the ground. They tripped over it and fell hard. They scraped their knees and elbows and cried out loud. + +The firemen heard them and came running. They saw the two boys on the ground, bleeding and crying. They picked them up and carried them to the ambulance. They checked their wounds and bandaged them. They gave them stickers and teddy bears and told them they were brave. + +"Are you okay, boys?" one of the firemen asked. + +Tim and Sam nodded, still sniffling. They felt ashamed and sorry. They had disobeyed their mom and caused trouble. They had not helped Mr. Jones or Fluffy. They had wasted their money and their piggy banks. + +They looked at the fireman and said, "We're sorry, sir. We wanted to see the truck and order a card and a balloon for Mr. Jones and Fluffy. We thought they were hurt by the fire." + +The fireman smiled and said, "That's very kind of you, boys. But you don't have to worry. There was no fire. Mr. Jones just had a bad fall and broke his leg. He's going to the hospital to get a cast. And Fluffy is fine. She's with him in the ambulance. They'll be back home soon." + +Tim and Sam felt relieved and happy. They were glad Mr. Jones and Fluffy were okay. They were glad the firemen were nice to them. They still wanted to do something nice for them. + +They looked at the fireman and said, "Can we order a card and a balloon for you and your friends? You work hard and save people. You are heroes." + +The fireman laughed and said, "Sure, boys. That would be very nice of you. But first, you have to go back inside and eat lunch. And say sorry to your mom. And promise to never run outside without permission again. Deal?" + +Tim and Sam nodded and said, "Deal." + +They hugged the fireman and thanked him. They got out of the ambulance and ran back to their house. They saw their mom waiting for them at the door. She looked angry and worried. They ran to her and hugged her and said, "We're sorry, Mom. We love you, Mom." + +Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, boys. But don't ever do that again. You scared me to +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with cards. The cards have pictures of animals. Lily and Tom take turns to pick a card and say the name of the animal. If they say it right, they keep the card. If they say it wrong, they put the card back. + +Lily picks a card. She sees a big cat with stripes. She says, "Tiger!" She is right. She smiles and keeps the card. Tom picks a card. He sees a small bird with a red chest. He says, "Robin!" He is right. He smiles and keeps the card. + +They play until there are no more cards. They count their cards. Lily has six cards. Tom has five cards. Lily has more cards. She wins the game. She is happy. She says, "I win! I get the prize!" The prize is a sticker book with more animals. She likes the prize. She says, "Thank you for playing with me, Tom. You are a great friend." + +Tom is sad. He wanted to win the prize. He likes animals too. He says, "You are welcome, Lily. But I wish I had the prize too." Lily sees that Tom is sad. She does not want Tom to be sad. She is a kind friend. She says, "You can have the prize too, Tom. We can share the sticker book. We can put the stickers on our cards. Then we can have more fun." + +Tom is surprised. He says, "Really? You want to share the prize with me?" Lily says, "Yes, really. You are my friend. I want you to be happy too." Tom is happy. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a great friend too." They hug and smile. They share the prize. They have more fun. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the mud. They made mud pies and mud castles. They were very happy and dirty. + +"Look at my mud pie!" Ben said. "It has a worm on top!" + +"Yuck!" Lily said. "My mud castle is better. It has a stick and a leaf!" + +They laughed and threw mud at each other. They did not see their mom coming. + +"Ben! Lily! What are you doing?" Mom said. She was angry. "You are so smelly and messy! Come here right now!" + +Ben and Lily stopped playing. They looked at their mom. They were scared. + +"Sorry, mom," they said. "We were having fun." + +Mom sighed. She took them to the bathroom. She washed them with soap and water. She dried them with a towel. + +"You have to be more careful," Mom said. "Mud can ruin your clothes. Do you know how much they cost?" + +Ben and Lily shook their heads. They did not know what cost meant. + +"Cost means how much money I have to pay for them," Mom said. "Money is very important. We need it to buy food and toys and other things. If you waste money, we will have less of it." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood a little bit. + +"We are sorry, mom," they said. "We will not play in the mud again." + +Mom smiled. She hugged them. + +"It's okay," she said. "I love you, even when you are smelly and messy. But next time, play in the sandbox or the grass, okay?" + +Ben and Lily agreed. They said they loved mom too. They went to their room to play with their clean toys. They were still happy, but not dirty. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they got a big box of crayons from their grandma. The box had many colors, but only one white crayon. + +Lila wanted to use the white crayon to draw a snowman on a blue paper. Ben wanted to use the white crayon to draw a cloud on a yellow paper. They both reached for the white crayon at the same time. + +"Give me the white crayon!" Lila said. + +"No, give me the white crayon!" Ben said. + +They pulled and pulled on the white crayon until it split in two. Lila and Ben each had a piece of the white crayon, but they were not happy. The pieces were too small and broken to draw with. + +They looked at each other and felt envious. They wished they had the whole white crayon. They wished they had not fought over it. + +They put the pieces of the white crayon back in the box and said they were sorry. They decided to share the other crayons and draw together. They made a picture of a rainbow with many colors. They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy again. +Lily loves kittens. She has a big book with many pictures of kittens. She likes to look at the book and say the names of the kittens. She says, "Black kitten, white kitten, orange kitten, gray kitten." + +One day, Lily's mom has a surprise for her. She says, "Lily, I have something for you in this box. Do you want to see?" Lily nods and says, "Yes, yes, yes!" Mom gives her the box and says, "Be gentle, Lily. Open the box slowly and carefully." + +Lily opens the box and sees a small, fluffy kitten. The kitten is black and white and has blue eyes. The kitten looks at Lily and meows. Lily is very happy. She says, "Kitten, kitten, kitten!" She picks up the kitten and hugs it softly. The kitten purrs and licks Lily's face. + +Mom smiles and says, "Lily, this is your new friend. You can name him whatever you want. He is your kitten now." Lily thinks for a moment and says, "I will name him Spot. He has a spot on his nose. He is my Spot." Mom says, "That is a good name, Lily. Spot is a lucky kitten to have you." + +Lily and Spot play together all day. They play with a ball, a string, and a feather. They take a nap on Lily's bed. They eat some milk and cookies. Lily loves Spot and Spot loves Lily. They are the best friends ever. +Lisa liked to care for her parrot, Coco. She gave him seeds and water every day. She also talked to him and taught him some words. Coco was a smart parrot, but sometimes he was naughty. He liked to make loud noises and bite things. + +One day, Lisa's mom had a headache. She asked Lisa to be quiet and let her rest. Lisa nodded and went to play with Coco. She whispered to him, "Coco, we have to be quiet. Mom has a headache. Can you say 'shh'?" Coco looked at her and said, "Shh, shh, shh." Lisa smiled and praised him. "Good boy, Coco. You are a nice parrot." + +But Coco was not a nice parrot. He was bored and wanted to have fun. He saw Lisa's crayons on the table. He flew over and grabbed one with his beak. He started to draw on the wall. He made red and blue and green marks. He said, "Coco, Coco, Coco." Lisa saw him and gasped. She ran to him and said, "No, Coco, no! That is naughty. You are making a mess. Mom will be angry." She tried to take the crayon from him, but he bit her finger. She cried out, "Ow, Coco, ow! That hurts. You are a bad parrot." + +Lisa's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the wall and Lisa's finger. She was very upset. She said, "Lisa, what did you do? Why did you draw on the wall? And why is your finger bleeding?" Lisa sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. It was not me. It was Coco. He was naughty. He took the crayon and bit me." Lisa's mom looked at Coco. He was still holding the crayon and saying, "Coco, Coco, Coco." She shook her head and said, "Coco, you are a naughty parrot. You need a time out. You have to go to your cage and stay there until you learn to behave." She took Coco and put him in his cage. He squawked and said, "No, no, no." + +Lisa felt sorry for Coco, but she knew he was wrong. She said, "Coco, I still care for you, but you have to be good. You have to listen and be quiet and not bite. Then we can play again. Do you understand?" Coco looked at her and said, "Shh, shh, shh." Lisa smiled and said, "That's better, Coco. That's better." She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I love you." Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lisa. And I love Coco, even when he is naughty. But he has to learn his lesson." They kissed Coco and left him in his cage. Coco sighed and said, "Coco, Coco, Coco." He hoped they would come back soon. He missed them. He was a naughty parrot, but he was also a lonely parrot. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They enjoy running, swinging and sliding. They also like to look for bugs and flowers. + +One day, they see a big hedge near the pond. They wonder what is behind it. They go closer and peek through the leaves. They see a family of ducks. The ducks are hungry. They are eating bread that someone threw in the water. + +Anna and Ben are happy to see the ducks. They want to feed them too. They look for some bread in their bags. They find some crackers and break them into small pieces. They throw the pieces to the ducks. The ducks quack and swim to get the food. + +Anna and Ben laugh and clap. They enjoy watching the ducks eat. They think the ducks are cute and funny. They stay by the hedge until their moms call them. They wave goodbye to the ducks and go home. They hope to see the ducks again. +Lily and Max were playing in their room. They had a big sheet that they used to make a tent. They put some pillows and toys inside the tent. They pretended they were camping in the forest. + +"Look, Max, I have a fake fire!" Lily said. She showed him a flashlight that she turned on and off. "We can roast marshmallows on it!" + +"Wow, that's cool, Lily!" Max said. He took out a bag of marshmallows from his backpack. He pretended to put one on a stick and hold it over the flashlight. "Mmm, yummy!" + +They were having fun until their mom came in. She saw the sheet and the flashlight and the marshmallows. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing, kids?" she asked. "You are spoiling the sheet with the flashlight and the marshmallows! This sheet is for your bed, not for playing!" + +Lily and Max felt sad. They did not mean to spoil the sheet. They just wanted to have fun. + +"Sorry, mom," they said. "We were just pretending." + +Mom sighed. She knew they were just pretending. She loved them very much. But she also wanted them to be careful with their things. + +"It's okay, kids," she said. "But next time, please ask me before you use the sheet. And don't put the flashlight or the marshmallows on it. They can make holes or stains. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They understood. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry again. Mom smiled and hugged them back. She helped them fold the sheet and put it away. She gave them a new sheet for their bed. She also gave them some real marshmallows to eat. They thanked her and said they loved her. They learned their lesson. They still liked to pretend, but they also liked to take care of their things. +Sara liked to play with her toys in the garden. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a big green lizard. She named him Lenny and pretended he was her friend. She gave him hugs and kisses and made him talk. + +One day, a bad cat came to the garden. He saw Lenny and wanted to play with him too. But he did not play nice. He bit Lenny and scratched him and threw him in the air. He wanted to destroy Lenny and make him his toy. + +Sara heard Lenny cry and ran to him. She saw the bad cat and shouted at him. "Go away, bad cat! Lenny is my toy, not yours! You are mean and ugly and you hurt Lenny!" She picked up Lenny and hugged him. She saw that he was broken and dirty and sad. + +She took Lenny to her mom and asked her to fix him. Her mom saw Lenny and felt sorry for him. She said, "I'm sorry, Sara, but I can't fix Lenny. He is too broken. You need a new toy." She gave Sara a new toy. It was a small pink pig. She said, "This is Penny. She is a charming pig. She is soft and sweet and likes to snort. She can be your new friend." + +Sara looked at Penny and smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. Penny is a charming pig. She is cute and funny and likes to snort. She can be my new friend." She gave Penny a hug and a kiss and made her talk. She said, "Hi, Penny. I'm Sara. Do you want to play with me in the garden?" Penny snorted and nodded. Sara said, "Okay, let's go. But watch out for the bad cat. He is mean and ugly and he likes to destroy toys." Penny snorted and nodded. Sara and Penny went to the garden and played happily.

They are sad and lonely. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play with dolls. One day, Lily got a new doll that had long hair and a pretty dress. Sam was jealous of Lily's doll. He wanted to have a doll like that too. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Sam asked Lily. + +"No, this is my doll. You have your own doll," Lily said. + +"But your doll is nicer than mine. Mine has a broken nail and a dirty face," Sam said. + +"I don't care. You can't touch my doll," Lily said. + +Sam was angry and sad. He wanted to make Lily feel bad too. He saw a pair of scissors on the table. He had an idea. He grabbed the scissors and ran to Lily's doll. He cut off the doll's hair and ripped off the doll's dress. + +"Ha! Now your doll is ugly and ruined!" Sam shouted. + +Lily saw what Sam did. She was shocked and sad. She started to cry. She loved her doll very much. + +"Why did you do that? You are so mean!" Lily cried. + +Sam felt sorry for what he did. He realized he was wrong. He hurt Lily's feelings and he ruined her toy. He wished he could take it back. + +"I'm sorry, Lily.

She saw that he was embarrassed and sad too. + +"It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. But you have to be nice to your friends. You can't hurt them or their things. That's not how you make friends. You have to share and be kind," Lily said. + +Sam nodded. He learned his lesson. He hugged Lily and said he was sorry again. He gave her his doll and said she could have it. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I didn't let you play with my doll. You can play with it too. We can share and have fun together," Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged. They played with their dolls and forgot about their fight. They were happy and they were friends again. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be jealous of what others have.

She gives it to one of her dolls. + +"Here, Daisy, this is your lunch. It is very yummy and healthy." + +Tom sees Lily's dish. He thinks it is stupid. He wants to show Lily his bridge. He picks up his tower and moves it closer to Lily. + +"Look at my bridge, Lily!" Tom says. "It is very long and cool." + +Lily sees Tom's tower coming near her. She thinks Tom is rude.

They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many birds. They wanted to see the birds up close. + +"Let's shoot the birds with our water guns!" Ben said. He had a blue water gun. Lily had a pink one. + +"No, Ben, that is not nice. The birds will be scared and fly away. We can watch them from here. They are quiet and pretty." Lily said. + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the tree and shot his water gun at the birds. The birds made loud noises and flew away. Ben laughed. + +Lily was sad. She liked the birds. She saw a man with a cart. He was selling chocolate. She ran to the man and asked for a chocolate. + +"Here you go, little girl. That will be one dollar." The man said. + +Lily gave him a dollar and took the chocolate.

She liked Ben. He was her friend. She broke her chocolate in half and gave him one piece. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are kind. The chocolate is good." He said. + +They smiled and hugged. They went back to play. They did not shoot the birds. They watched them and listened to their songs. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big sign with many words on it. Ben wanted to read the sign. + +"Look, Lily, I can read!" Ben said. He pointed to the sign. "It says, 'Do not go past this arrow. Danger!'" + +Lily looked at the sign. She saw a big arrow pointing to a dark forest. She felt scared. + +"Ben, we should not go there. It is danger. Maybe there are big animals or bad people. Let's go back to the slide," Lily said. + +But Ben was curious. He wanted to see what was in the forest. He did not listen to Lily. He ran past the arrow and into the forest. + +"Ben, wait! Come back!" Lily shouted. She followed Ben. She did not want him to be alone. + +They ran deeper and deeper into the forest. They saw many trees and plants and bugs. They did not see any animals or people. But they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a roar. + +"Roar!" The noise said. Ben and Lily stopped. They were very scared. They looked around. They saw a big lion. The lion had sharp teeth and claws. The lion saw them too. The lion was hungry. + +"Help!" Ben and Lily screamed. They turned around and ran. They ran as fast as they could. They ran back to the sign and the arrow. They ran back to the park. They ran back to the slide. + +They hugged each other. They were safe. They were sorry. They learned a lesson. They should not go past the arrow. They should listen to the sign. They should listen to Lily. They should not be curious. They should be careful. They should be happy. They should play. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. They have a big box. They pretend the box is a car. They travel to different places in the car. + +One day, they want to go to the zoo. They put on their hats and sunglasses. They get in the box. Lily says, "Let's go, Tom. Zoo, zoo, zoo!" + +Tom says, "OK, Lily. But we have to be careful. There are many animals in the zoo. Some are big and scary. Some are small and cute. We have to stay in the car." + +They make noises like a car. They say, "Vroom, vroom, vroom!" They move the box around the room. They see pictures of animals on the wall. They point and say their names. They see a lion, a monkey, a giraffe, a penguin, and a snake. + +They have fun. They laugh and clap. They are happy. + +But then, they hear a loud knock on the door. It is Lily's mom. She says, "Lily, Tom, what are you doing? It is time for lunch. Come out of the box." + +Lily and Tom stop playing. They look at each other. They are sad. They say, "Oh, no. We have to go. We want to stay in the zoo." + +Lily's mom says, "You are not in the zoo. You are in the living room. The zoo is far away. You can't go there in a box. That is silly. That is stupid." + +Lily and Tom don't like that word. They say, "No, mom. It is not stupid. It is fun. It is pretend. We can go anywhere in our car. We can travel to the zoo, or the moon, or the sea. We can do it any day. Even on Tuesday." + +Lily's mom smiles. She says, "OK, OK. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. You have a good imagination. You can play in your car. But not now. Now it is lunch time. You have to eat. You have to grow. Maybe later, you can travel again. But now, come out of the box. Please." + +Lily and Tom nod. They say, "OK, mom. We will come out. We will eat. But we will play again. We will travel again. We will have more adventures. In our car. In our box." +Ben and Mia like to play with otters at the zoo. They watch the otters swim and slide in the water. They see how the otters make nests with sticks and stones. Ben and Mia want to design their own nests for the otters. + +They ask their mom for some paper and crayons. They draw shapes and colors on the paper. They cut out the paper and fold it. They make paper nests for the otters. They are very proud of their design. + +They run to the otter pool with their paper nests. They show them to the otters. The otters are curious. They sniff and touch the paper nests. They like them. They take them to their water. + +But the paper nests are not good for the water. They get wet and soggy. They fall apart. The otters are sad. They lose their new nests. They swim away. + +Ben and Mia are sad too. They see their paper nests ruined. They cry. They say sorry to the otters. They wish they had made better nests. They learn that paper is not good for water. They hug their mom. She says it's okay. She says they can try again another day. But Ben and Mia are still sad. They have a bad day. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Lily had a green car and Ben had a red one. + +"Look, Lily, I can make my car go fast and then reverse!" Ben said, showing off his skill. He pushed his car forward and then pulled it back quickly. + +"That's cool, Ben, but I can make my car do a trick!" Lily said, smiling. She lifted her car in the air and spun it around. "See? It can fly!" + +Ben and Lily laughed and clapped. They were having fun. + +But then they heard a loud roar from behind the bushes. They turned around and saw a big, brown bear. It had sharp teeth and claws and looked angry. + +"Uh-oh, a bear!" Ben said, scared. He grabbed his car and ran towards the house. + +"Wait for me, Ben!" Lily said, following him. She also took her car, but she dropped it by mistake. The bear saw the green car and ran towards it. + +The bear picked up the car and sniffed it. It thought it was a tasty snack. It opened its mouth and bit the car. But the car was hard and plastic, not soft and juicy. The bear spat out the car and made a face. It did not like the car. + +The bear threw the car away and walked back to the bushes. It was still hungry and wanted to find something else to eat. + +Lily and Ben watched from the window. They were glad the bear was gone, but they felt sorry for the green car. + +"Sorry, Lily, your car is broken," Ben said, hugging his sister. + +"That's okay, Ben, it was just a toy," Lily said, smiling. "Maybe we can fix it later. Or we can share your car. As long as we are safe and together, we can still have fun." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys: dolls, cars, blocks, books and more. They are very organized. They put their toys in different boxes by color and shape. + +One day, Lily and Ben are sick. They have a fever and a cough. Mom says they need to take a pill to feel better. She brings them a glass of water and a small pill each. Lily and Ben look at the pill. They do not like it. It is white and round and hard. + +Mom says, "Come on, Lily and Ben. You have to take the pill. It will help you get well. It is not bad. It is like candy." + +Lily says, "No, Mom. I do not want the pill. It is not like candy. It is scary. It will hurt my mouth and my tummy." + +Ben says, "Me too, Mom. I do not want the pill. It is scary. It will make me choke and spit." + +Mom says, "No, Lily and Ben. The pill is not scary. It is safe and good. You just have to swallow it quickly with water. It will not hurt you. It will make you happy and strong." + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They are still afraid of the pill. But they trust Mom. They love Mom. They want to make Mom happy. They want to be happy and strong too. + +They say, "OK, Mom. We will try the pill. But you have to stay with us and hug us." + +Mom says, "Of course, Lily and Ben. I will stay with you and hug you. I am proud of you. You are brave and smart." + +Mom gives them the pill and the water. Lily and Ben close their eyes and swallow the pill. They do not like the taste. But it is not so bad. It is over soon. Mom hugs them and kisses them. She says, "Good job, Lily and Ben. You did it. You took the pill. You are amazing. I love you." + +Lily and Ben smile. They feel better. They say, "We love you too, Mom. Thank you for the pill. It was not so scary. It was like candy. Can we have more?" + +Mom laughs. She says, "No, Lily and Ben. You do not need more. One pill is enough. But you can have a real candy later. And you can play with your toys again. But first, you have to rest and nap. OK?" + +Lily and Ben say, "OK, Mom. We will rest and nap. But can you read us a story first?" + +Mom says, "Sure, Lily and Ben. I will read you a story. What story do you want?" + +Lily and Ben say, "We want the story of the organized twins and their toys." + +Mom says, "That is a good story. I like that story. Let me find it in your bookshelf." + +Mom finds the book and reads the story to Lily and Ben. They listen and enjoy. They are happy and cozy. They fall asleep in Mom's arms.
