They are nice to each other. + +But then, a big boy comes. He is mean. He sees their world and wants to play with it. He does not ask. He does not care. + +He pushes Sam and Mia away. He grabs their world and shakes it. He throws their sand, rocks, plants and animals everywhere. He breaks their houses, roads and bridges. He laughs and runs away. + +Sam and Mia are sad. They cry. They look at their world. It is broken and messy. They cannot play with it anymore. They have no world. They have no fun. They have no friend. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many branches. Tom wants to climb the tree. He says to Lily, "Look, I can hang from that branch. It is fun." + +Lily says, "No, Tom, it is difficult. You can fall and hurt yourself. Let's play with the ball instead." + +Tom does not listen to Lily. He runs to the tree and climbs up. He finds a branch and hangs from it with his hands. He feels happy and proud. He says, "See, Lily, I can do it. I am strong." + +But then, Tom feels something slip from his pocket. It is his wallet. His wallet has his picture, his name, and his mom's phone number. He needs his wallet. He tries to catch it, but it is too late. His wallet falls to the ground. + +Tom is scared and sad. He wants to get down, but he does not know how. He says, "Help, Lily, help. I dropped my wallet. I want my wallet. I want to go down." + +Lily hears Tom and sees his wallet. She runs to the tree and picks up his wallet. She says, "Don't worry, Tom, I have your wallet. It is safe. But you have to come down. It is dangerous to hang from the tree." + +Lily helps Tom to climb down. She gives him his wallet and hugs him. She says, "Tom, you are brave, but you are also silly. You should listen to me. Climbing the tree is difficult and risky. Playing with the ball is easy and fun." + +Tom says, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I was foolish. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend. Let's play with the ball." + +Lily says, "OK, Tom. Let's play with the ball. But first, let's put your wallet in your backpack. We don't want to lose it again." + +Tom and Lily put the wallet in the backpack and play with the ball. They have a good time. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their ball and their dog. But today, the sky is dark and loud. They hear a big boom. It is thunder. + +"Mommy, what is that?" Anna asks. She is scared. + +"That is thunder, sweetie. It is when the clouds make noise. Sometimes they also make rain and lightning. But we are safe inside our house," Mommy says. She hugs Anna and Ben. + +"Can we still play?" Ben asks. He likes to run and jump. + +"Not outside, honey. It is not fair to get wet and cold. But we can play inside. We have books and toys and puzzles. And we have each other," Mommy says. She smiles. + +Anna and Ben nod. They love their Mommy. They love their books and toys and puzzles. And they love each other. They hug Mommy and then they hug each other. They are not scared of the thunder anymore. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books to have fun with. But they wanted to do something different. They looked around and saw a big cabinet in the corner. It was brown and had many doors and drawers. + +"Let's play hide and seek in the cabinet!" Lily said. "I will count to ten and you hide. Then I will find you." + +"OK!" Tom said. He ran to the cabinet and opened a door. He saw some coats and hats hanging inside. He crawled in and closed the door behind him. He was very quiet and hoped Lily would not find him. + +Lily counted to ten and then said, "Ready or not, here I come!" She walked to the cabinet and started to open the doors and drawers. She found some shoes, some bags, some blankets, but no Tom. She wondered where he was hiding. + +Meanwhile, Tom heard a loud noise outside. He peeked through a small hole in the door and saw that it was raining. The rain was thick and fast. It made the window wet and shiny. He liked the rain and wanted to see it better. He opened the door and stepped out of the cabinet. + +"Found you!" Lily shouted. She saw Tom coming out of the cabinet and ran to him. "You were hiding in the coat door. That was a good spot. But you came out because of the rain, right?" + +"Yes, I like the rain. It is pretty and cool. Do you want to see it with me?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, let's go to the window and watch the rain. Maybe we will see a rainbow too!" Lily said. + +They held hands and walked to the window. They watched the rain and smiled. They were happy to play together. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a doll that she named Anna. She always took Anna with her wherever she went, and she dressed her in pretty clothes and combed her hair. + +One day, Lily's mom had to go to the store and she asked Lily to stay with her grandma. Lily was happy to see her grandma, who gave her a hug and a cookie. She also gave her a tray with some crayons and paper, and told her to draw something nice for her mom. + +Lily thanked her grandma and started to draw. She wanted to make a picture of Anna, but she could not find the right color for her hair. She looked at the tray and saw a bottle of red nail polish. She thought it would make Anna's hair look shiny and beautiful, so she opened the bottle and poured some on Anna's head. + +"Oh no!" her grandma exclaimed, when she saw what Lily had done. "You spoiled your doll! That nail polish will not come off, and it will ruin her hair and clothes. Why did you do that, Lily?" + +Lily felt sad and scared. She did not mean to spoil Anna, she just wanted to make her look nice. She started to cry and said, "I'm sorry, grandma. I thought it was paint. I wanted to draw Anna for mom. Please don't be harsh with me." + +Her grandma sighed and hugged Lily. She was not harsh, but she was disappointed. She said, "Lily, you should not use things that are not yours, and you should not put nail polish on your toys. It is not paint, it is for nails. You should ask before you use something, and you should be careful with your things. You need to learn to respect your toys and other people's things. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, grandma. I understand. I'm sorry. I love Anna, and I love you, and I love mom. Can you help me fix Anna?" + +Her grandma smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love Anna, and I love mom. I don't know if we can fix Anna, but we can try. Maybe we can find a new dress and a hat for her. And maybe you can make a new picture for mom, with crayons and paper. What do you think?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, grandma. Thank you. You are very kind. Can I give you a kiss?" + +Her grandma said, "Of course, you can. You are very sweet. Come on, let's go and see what we can do for Anna." + +They went to the bathroom and tried to wash off the nail polish, but it was too hard. They decided to look for a new dress and a hat for Anna, and they found some in Lily's closet. They also found some crayons and paper, and Lily made a new picture for her mom, with Anna and her grandma and a big heart. She wrote, "I love you, mom. I'm sorry I spoiled Anna. I learned to respect my toys and other people's things. Grandma helped me. She is very kind. Love, Lily." + +When Lily's mom came back from the store, she saw the picture and the doll, and she hugged Lily and her grandma. She said, "I love you, Lily. I love you, mom. Thank you for taking care of Lily and Anna. I'm sorry Anna got spoiled, but I'm glad you learned a lesson. And I'm proud of you for making this beautiful picture. It is the best gift ever." + +Lily was happy and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. And I love Anna, and I love grandma. They are the best too." + +They all smiled and kissed, and they had a nice time together. Lily learned to respect her toys and other people's things, and she never used nail polish on her doll again. She also learned to ask before she used something, and to be careful with her things. She was a good girl, and she had a good family. And Anna was still her favorite doll, even with red hair. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a kite and a bike. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is rough. He barks and runs at them. Tom and Sue are scared. They drop their toys and run away. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. "The dog is rough!" + +A man hears them. He is the dog's owner. He runs after the dog and catches him. He puts a leash on the dog. + +"I'm sorry, kids," he says. "My dog is not mean. He just wants to play. He is rough, but he is nice." + +Tom and Sue stop running. They look at the man and the dog. The dog wags his tail and licks the man's face. + +"Are you sure?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, I'm sure," the man says. "He is a good dog. His name is Spot. Do you want to pet him?" + +Tom and Sue are not sure. They are still scared. + +"Maybe later," Sue says. + +"OK," the man says. "Maybe later. Come on, Spot. Let's go home. It's almost noon. We need to eat." + +He walks away with the dog. Tom and Sue pick up their toys. + +"That was scary," Tom says. + +"Yes, it was," Sue says. "But the man was nice. He mentioned noon. Do you know what noon is?" + +Tom thinks. He remembers what his mom told him. + +"Noon is when the sun is high in the sky," he says. "It's when we eat lunch." + +"Oh, I see," Sue says. "I'm hungry. Do you want to go home and eat lunch?" + +Tom nods. He is hungry too. + +"OK, let's go home," he says. "Maybe we can play with the dog another day. When he is not so rough." + +They hold hands and walk home. They are still friends. They are happy. +Lily liked to pick daisies in the park. She liked their white and yellow colors and their soft petals. She made daisy chains and put them on her head and her doll's head. She felt happy and pretty. + +One day, she saw a man sitting on a bench. He was bald and looked sad. He had no hair on his head and no smile on his face. Lily wondered why he was so sad. She wanted to make him happy. + +She walked up to him and said, "Hello, mister. Do you like daisies?" + +The man looked at her and said, "Daisies? I don't know. I haven't seen a daisy in a long time." + +Lily said, "I have many daisies. I can supply you with some. Here, take this daisy chain. It will make you look nice and feel happy." + +She put the daisy chain on his head and smiled. The man was surprised and touched. He said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very kind and sweet. You have made my day." + +He smiled and hugged her. Lily felt happy and proud. She had made a new friend and helped him feel better. She said, "You're welcome, mister. I'm glad you like daisies. They are my favorite flowers." +Lily and Ben were playing with clay. They liked to create different things with their hands. Lily made a snake, Ben made a ball. + +"Look, I made a snake!" Lily said, showing her clay snake to Ben. + +"That's nice, but I made a ball!" Ben said, rolling his clay ball on the floor. + +They played with their clay snake and ball for a while, but then they wanted to make something else. + +"Let's make a jug!" Lily said, looking at a picture of a jug in a book. + +"What's a jug?" Ben asked, curious. + +"A jug is something you put water in. You can drink from it or pour it out. It has a handle and a spout." Lily explained, pointing at the picture. + +"Oh, I see. Let's make a jug then!" Ben agreed, excited. + +They took some more clay and started to shape it into a jug. They made a chubby body, a handle and a spout. They used a stick to make some patterns on the jug. + +"Look, we made a jug!" Lily and Ben said together, proud of their creation. + +They put some water in the jug and pretended to drink from it and pour it out. They had fun with their clay jug. They were happy. +There was a prince who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a red car. He enjoyed making the car go fast and loud. He did not like to share his toys with anyone. + +One day, a girl came to visit the castle. She was the daughter of a friend of the king. She saw the prince playing with his red car and asked if she could play too. The prince said no. He said the car was his and he did not want anyone to touch it. The girl felt sad and went away. + +The king saw what happened and was not happy. He called the prince and said, "My son, you are not being kind. You have many toys, but you do not share them with others. That is not how a prince should act. A prince should be generous and dependable. He should make friends and help those who need it. You should learn to share your toys and enjoy playing with others." + +The prince felt ashamed and said, "I am sorry, father. You are right. I was selfish and rude. I will share my toys and enjoy playing with others. Will you forgive me?" + +The king smiled and said, "Of course, I forgive you. I love you, my son. Now, go and find the girl and invite her to play with you. I am sure she will be happy to be your friend." + +The prince did as his father said. He found the girl and said, "I am sorry for what I said before. I was wrong. Will you play with me and my red car? You can drive it if you want. I have other toys too. We can have fun together." + +The girl smiled and said, "Thank you, prince. I forgive you. I would love to play with you and your red car. You are very kind and dependable. You are a good friend." + +The prince and the girl played with the toys and enjoyed each other's company. They laughed and talked and had a great time. The king watched them and was proud of his son. He knew he was growing up to be a good prince. He hoped he would always remember to share and enjoy. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play baseball in the park. Tom has a new baseball bat. It is big and shiny. Ben wants to try it. + +"Can I use your bat, Tom?" Ben asks. + +"OK, but be careful. It is hard to swing," Tom replies. + +Ben takes the bat and tries to hit the ball. He swings very fast, but he misses. The ball flies past him and hits a tree. Ben hears a loud crack. + +"Oh no! What was that?" Ben says. + +Tom runs to the tree and sees a big hole in the bark. He picks up the ball and looks at it. It has a dent in it. + +"Wow, this ball is hard too. It broke the tree!" Tom says. + +Ben feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt the tree. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry, tree. I did not swing good," Ben says. + +Tom smiles and hugs Ben. + +"It's OK, Ben. It was an accident. The tree will be OK. You are still my friend," Tom says. + +They put the bat and the ball away and go to play something else. They are happy. They love baseball, but they love each other more. +Lily and Ben were playing in the big chamber. The chamber had many toys and books and a big bed. Lily liked to play with the dolls and Ben liked to play with the cars. They were having fun. + +But then Ben saw a shiny red car that Lily was holding. He wanted to play with it too. He ran to Lily and grabbed the car from her hand. Lily was angry. She shouted, "That is my car! Give it back!" + +Ben was rude. He said, "No, it is mine now. You have many dolls. Go play with them." He pushed Lily away and drove the car on the floor. Lily started to cry. She felt sad and hurt. + +Mama heard the noise and came to the chamber. She saw Lily crying and Ben playing with the car. She asked, "What is going on here?" + +Lily told Mama what Ben did. Mama was not happy. She said, "Ben, that was not nice. You should not take things from others without asking. And you should not push or hurt your sister. That is rude. You need to say sorry and give the car back to Lily." + +Ben felt ashamed. He knew he was wrong. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I was selfish. Here is your car. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She said, "I forgive you, Ben. But next time, please ask me first. And do not be rude. We can share and play together." + +Ben nodded. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I will be nicer to you. Can we hug?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, we can hug." They hugged and said, "I love you." + +Mama was proud of them. She said, "That is very good. I love you both. Now, why don't you play nicely in the chamber? I will bring you some cookies and milk." + +Lily and Ben said, "Yay! Thank you, Mama." They played happily in the chamber with their toys and books. They learned to be kind and to forgive. +Lily liked to play her flute. She had a small flute that made pretty sounds when she blew into it. She learned how to play from her big sister, who had a big flute. Lily wanted to be like her big sister. + +One day, Lily saw a bird on a tree. The bird was singing a beautiful song. Lily wanted to play with the bird. She ran to the tree and lifted her flute. She tried to copy the bird's song with her flute. But the bird was too far away. Lily could not hear it well. + +"Come closer, bird!" Lily called. "I want to play with you!" + +The bird looked at Lily. It tilted its head and flew to another tree. The other tree was even farther away. Lily was sad. She wanted the bird to be her friend. + +She stretched her arms and legs. She tried to make herself taller. She hoped that if she was taller, she could reach the bird. But she was still too small. She could not touch the tree or the bird. + +"Please, bird, please!" Lily begged. "Don't fly away! Stay with me!" + +The bird heard Lily. It felt sorry for her. It flew back to the first tree. It sang a song for Lily. It was a song of friendship. Lily smiled. She played her flute again. She matched the bird's song. They played together for a long time. Lily was happy. She had a new friend. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they also liked to hide and seek. Lily was good at hiding. She could cover herself with leaves, or go behind a tree, or crawl under a bench. Max was good at seeking. He could look everywhere, and listen for Lily's giggles, or see her shoes, or smell her perfume. + +One day, they decided to play hide and seek again. Lily said, "I will hide, you will seek. Count to ten, then come and find me." Max said, "OK, I will count. One, two, three..." Lily ran away, looking for a good spot. She saw a big pile of hay on the other side of the park. She thought, "That is a perfect place to hide. Max will never find me there." She ran to the pile of hay, and jumped in. She covered herself with hay, and waited. + +Max finished counting. "Ten! Ready or not, here I come!" He started to look for Lily. He checked the slide, the swing, the tree, the bench. He could not find her. He thought, "Where is Lily? She is very good at hiding today." He looked around, and saw the pile of hay. He thought, "Maybe Lily is hiding there. I will go and see." He ran to the pile of hay, and started to pull the hay away. + +Lily felt the hay moving. She thought, "Oh no, Max is here. He will find me soon. I have to be quiet and still." She held her breath, and closed her eyes. She hoped Max would go away. + +But Max did not go away. He kept pulling the hay away, until he saw Lily's face. He smiled, and said, "I found you, Lily! You are hiding in the hay!" Lily opened her eyes, and saw Max. She was surprised, and said, "How did you find me, Max? I was very well hidden." Max said, "I saw the hay, and I thought you might be there. And I also saw something else." He pointed to Lily's hair. Lily looked at her hair, and saw that it was full of hay. She said, "Oh, I did not know that. The hay stuck to my hair." Max said, "Yes, it did. And it made you easy to find. You should have covered your hair, too." Lily said, "You are right, Max. Next time, I will cover my hair, too. Or maybe I will find a better place to hide." Max said, "OK, Lily. Let's play again. This time, I will hide, and you will seek. Count to ten, then come and find me." Lily said, "OK, Max. I will count. One, two, three..." Max ran away, looking for a good spot. He saw a big box on the other side of the park. He thought, "That is a perfect place to hide. Lily will never find me there." He ran to the box, and jumped in. He covered himself with the box, and waited. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the big park near their home. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. Sometimes they saw other kids and made new friends. But their favorite thing was to explore the woods at the far side of the park. There they found many animals, plants and secrets. + +One day, they saw a big bird lying on the ground. It was black and white, with a long beak and a red spot on its head. It did not move or make any sound. Ben and Lily were curious and went closer. They saw that the bird had a big hole in its chest and blood on its feathers. They felt sad and scared. They wondered what had happened to the bird. + +They heard a loud bang from behind a tree. They turned and saw a man with a long stick. He was holding the stick to his shoulder and pointing it at them. He had a mean face and a hat. He said, "Get away from my bird, you little brats. I shot it fair and square. It's mine." + +Ben and Lily were very afraid. They did not know what to do. They wanted to run away, but the man was blocking their way. They wished their mom or dad were there to help them. They hugged each other and hoped the man would leave them alone. + +But the man did not leave. He walked towards them, holding the stick. He said, "I'll teach you a lesson, you little thieves. You can't mess with my hunting. I'll make you dead like the bird." + +He raised the stick and aimed it at Ben and Lily. They closed their eyes and screamed. They heard another bang, but it was not from the man's stick. It was from another stick, from the other side of the woods. They opened their eyes and saw the man fall to the ground. He dropped his stick and did not move or make any sound. He was dead like the bird. + +They saw a woman running towards them. She had a badge and a gun. She was a police officer. She said, "Are you okay, kids? Don't worry, I'm here to help you. I heard the shots and came as fast as I could. I saw the man trying to hurt you and I had to stop him. He was a bad man, a poacher. He killed the bird illegally and he wanted to kill you too. But he won't hurt anyone anymore." + +She hugged Ben and Lily and told them they were brave and smart. She called for backup and an ambulance. She said she would take them to their mom and dad and explain everything. She said they were safe now and nothing bad would happen to them. + +Ben and Lily felt relieved and grateful. They thanked the woman and settled in her arms. They looked at the bird and the man on the ground. They felt sorry for the bird, but not for the man. They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned that some people are good and some people are bad. They learned that life is precious and fragile. They learned that they should always stick together and watch each other's side. +Lila and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. They had a ball and a dog. The dog was big and brown. His name was Rex. + +One day, they saw a new girl in the park. She had a bike and a doll. Her name was Amy. She smiled at Lila and Ben. "Do you want to play with me?" she asked. + +Lila and Ben nodded. They went to Amy. They liked her bike and her doll. They took turns to ride the bike and hold the doll. Amy smiled more. She said, "You are nice. You can be my friends." + +But Rex did not like Amy. He did not like her bike and her doll. He barked at Amy. He bit her heel. Amy cried. She dropped the doll. Rex ran away with the doll. + +Lila and Ben were scared. They ran after Rex. They wanted to get the doll back. They shouted, "Rex, stop! Rex, come back!" + +But Rex did not stop. He did not come back. He ran out of the park. He ran into the street. He did not see the car. The car hit Rex. Rex fell down. He did not move. + +Lila and Ben saw Rex. They cried. They loved Rex. They were sad. Amy saw Rex. She was angry. She said, "You are bad. You hurt me. You took my doll. You deserve it." + +Lila and Ben looked at Amy. They did not smile. They did not like her. They said, "You are not fair. You are mean. You are not our friend." They left Amy. They went to Rex. They hugged Rex. They hoped Rex would wake up. But Rex did not wake up. The end. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Daisy. Daisy had a pink dress, yellow hair and blue eyes. Lily took Daisy everywhere she went. + +One day, Lily and Daisy went to the park with Mommy. Lily saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She asked Mommy if she could go. Mommy said yes, but told her to be careful and hold Daisy tight. Lily nodded and ran to the slide. + +Lily climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She held Daisy in her arms and smiled. She was ready to slide down. But then, a big boy came behind her and pushed her. Lily and Daisy fell off the slide and landed on the ground. Lily hurt her knee and Daisy tore her dress. + +Lily started to cry. She was sad and angry. She looked at the big boy and saw that he was grumpy. He did not say sorry or help her. He just laughed and ran away. Lily did not like the big boy. He was mean and rude. + +Mommy heard Lily cry and came to her. She hugged her and checked her knee. She said it was not a big cut and put a patch on it. She also looked at Daisy and saw her dress. She said it was not a big tear and she could fix it later. She asked Lily if she was okay. Lily nodded and hugged Mommy. She felt better. + +Mommy said they could go home and have some cookies. Lily liked cookies. She requested Mommy to carry her and Daisy. Mommy agreed and picked them up. Lily thanked Mommy and kissed her cheek. She also kissed Daisy and told her she loved her. Daisy smiled and winked. Lily smiled back. She was happy. +Lily was an adventurous girl. She liked to explore new places and learn new things. One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a lady with a dog. The lady was talking to the dog, but not with her mouth. She was using her hands to make signs. + +Lily was curious. She wanted to know what the lady was saying to the dog. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is the lady doing?" + +Her mom said, "She is using sign language. That means she is talking with her hands. Some people use sign language because they cannot hear or speak with their mouth. The dog can understand her signs because she taught him." + +Lily thought that was amazing. She wanted to learn sign language too. She walked up to the lady and said, "Hello, I am Lily. I like your dog. Can you teach me some signs?" + +The lady smiled and said, "Hello, Lily. I am Anna. My dog is Max. He is a good boy. I can teach you some signs. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. I want to be your friend. You are very nice." + +Anna and Lily became friends. They sat on a bench and Anna taught Lily some signs. Lily learned how to say her name, how to ask questions, how to say thank you, and how to say I love you. She also learned how to sign some animals, colors, and numbers. She had a lot of fun. + +Lily was happy. She made a new friend and learned a new language. She was an adventurous girl. She thanked Anna and Max and gave them a hug. She said, "Goodbye, Anna. Goodbye, Max. I hope to see you again soon. You are my friends. I love you." + +Anna and Max said goodbye to Lily and her mom. They said, "Goodbye, Lily. Goodbye, mom. We hope to see you again soon. You are our friends. We love you too." + +Lily and her mom went home. Lily told her mom everything she learned. Her mom was proud of her. She said, "Lily, you are a very smart and adventurous girl. You are not afraid to try new things and meet new people. I love you very much." + +Lily hugged her mom and said, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for taking me to the park. It was the best day ever." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big bunch of grapes on a bench. They are hungry and want to eat the grapes. + +"Can I have some grapes?" Tom asks Lily. + +"Sure, you can have some. But you have to shake the bunch first. There may be bugs on the grapes," Lily says. + +Tom shakes the bunch of grapes hard. He shakes it so hard that the grapes fall off the bunch and roll on the ground. Some of the grapes get dirty and some of the grapes get lost. + +"Hey, what are you doing? You are wasting the grapes!" Lily cries. + +"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to shake the bugs off," Tom says. + +"But now we have fewer grapes to eat. And some of them are dirty. You are not a good friend," Lily says. She is angry and sad. + +Tom feels bad. He wants to make Lily happy again. He looks around and sees a water fountain. He has an idea. + +"Wait, Lily, don't be mad. I have a great idea. Let's wash the grapes in the water fountain. Then they will be clean and fresh. And we can share them," Tom says. + +He picks up the grapes that are not too dirty and runs to the water fountain. He rinses the grapes in the water and puts them in a paper cup. He runs back to Lily and gives her the cup. + +"Here, Lily, these are for you. I'm sorry I shook the grapes too hard. Will you forgive me?" Tom says. + +Lily looks at the cup of grapes. They look shiny and juicy. She smiles and takes the cup. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a great friend. I forgive you. Let's eat the grapes together," Lily says. + +They sit on the bench and eat the grapes. They are sweet and yummy. They are happy and friends again. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. Today they want to dress up as animals. Lily has a cat costume. Tom has a dog costume. They go to Lily's room and put on their costumes. + +"Meow, meow, I am a cat," Lily says. She has a black and white dress, a tail and ears. She looks at Tom. "Woof, woof, you are a dog," she says. Tom has a brown and white shirt, pants and a hat. He has a bone in his hand. + +They run to the living room. They see Lily's mom. She is reading a book. She smiles at them. "Hello, cat and dog," she says. "You look very interesting. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily and Tom nod. They sit next to Lily's mom. She shows them her book. It has pictures of different animals. She tells them the names and sounds of the animals. Lily and Tom repeat after her. They learn about lions, monkeys, birds and more. + +They have fun with the book. But soon they feel hot. They are wearing too many clothes. They take off their costumes. They put on their normal clothes. They feel better. They thank Lily's mom for the book. They hug her. Then they go outside. They play in the garden. They are happy. +Lily was a nosy girl who liked to look at everything. One day, she saw a big cobweb in the corner of the living room. She wanted to touch it and see what it felt like. + +She walked to the cobweb and reached out her hand. But before she could touch it, she heard a voice. + +"Stop! That is my cobweb. You cannot touch it. It is mine." + +Lily was surprised and scared. She looked around and saw a small spider on the cobweb. The spider was angry and had eight eyes. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. + +"I am Sam. I am a spider. I own this cobweb. I made it with my silk. It is my home and my trap. You are not welcome here. Go away." + +Lily felt sorry for the spider. She did not want to make him mad. She also did not want to get caught in his trap. + +"I am sorry, Sam. I did not know. I was just curious. I will not touch your cobweb. I will leave you alone." + +Lily backed away from the cobweb and the spider. She decided to look for something else to explore. She learned that some things are not for her to touch. She also learned that spiders can talk. +Anna was very enthusiastic about going to the park with her mom. She put on her favorite pants, the ones with the flowers and the butterflies. She ran to the door and shouted, "Mom, I'm ready!" + +But mom was not ready. She was still in her pajamas, drinking her coffee. She looked at Anna and said, "Slow down, sweetie. We have to eat breakfast first. And you have to brush your teeth." + +Anna did not like that. She wanted to go to the park right now. She did not want to eat or brush. She stamped her feet and said, "No, no, no! I want to go to the park! Please, please, please!" + +Mom sighed. She knew Anna loved the park, but she also knew she had to teach her some manners. She said, "Anna, I understand you are excited, but you have to be patient and polite. You can't just say please and expect to get what you want. You have to say please and thank you, and wait your turn. And you have to take care of yourself and your health. Eating and brushing are important. How about this: if you eat your breakfast and brush your teeth, I will take you to the park and we can play for an hour. Deal?" + +Anna thought about it. She really wanted to go to the park, but she also wanted to make mom happy. She decided to listen to mom and do what she asked. She said, "Okay, mom. I will eat and brush. But can we go to the park soon?" + +Mom smiled and hugged Anna. She said, "Yes, we can go to the park soon. Thank you for being a good girl. I love you." + +Anna smiled and hugged mom back. She said, "I love you too, mom. And thank you for taking me to the park." +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the woods. They found a big pine tree with many cones and needles. They wanted to record their voices and pretend they were talking to the tree. + +"Hello, pine tree, how are you today?" Lily said into her toy phone. She pressed a button to record her voice. + +"I'm fine, thank you, Lily. You are very kind and sweet," Tom said into his toy phone. He pressed a button to record his voice. + +They laughed and took turns to record more questions and answers. They did not see a big bear that was sleeping behind the pine tree. The bear was hungry and angry. He did not like the noise that the children made. + +The bear woke up and roared. He saw Lily and Tom and ran towards them. The children were very scared and anxious. They dropped their toy phones and ran away. But the bear was faster and caught them. He ate them up and went back to sleep. + +The moral of the story is: Do not disturb the animals in the woods. They might be dangerous and hurt you. Be careful and quiet when you play outside. +Lila was eager to go to the zoo. She wanted to see the lions, the monkeys, and the elephants. She asked her mom to hurry up and get ready. + +"Mom, mom, can we go now? I want to see the animals!" Lila said. + +"Yes, honey, we can go soon. I just need to pack some snacks and water for us. Do you have your hat and sunscreen?" Mom said. + +Lila nodded. She had her hat and sunscreen in her backpack. She also had her favorite stuffed lion, Leo. She hugged Leo and waited for mom. + +They got in the car and drove to the zoo. Lila was so excited. She looked out the window and saw the sign for the zoo. She clapped her hands and said, "We're here, we're here!" + +Mom parked the car and they walked to the entrance. They bought their tickets and entered the zoo. Lila saw a map of the zoo and pointed to the lion enclosure. + +"Let's go see the lions first, mom. They are my favorite!" Lila said. + +"OK, let's go see the lions. But remember, we have to be quiet and respectful of the animals. They might be sleeping or eating." Mom said. + +They followed the signs to the lion enclosure. They saw a big fence and a sign that said, "Lions". They walked closer and saw a staff member standing near the fence. He was holding a microphone and a clipboard. + +"Hello, everyone. Welcome to the lion enclosure. My name is Ben and I'm a zookeeper. I'm here to tell you some facts about the lions and answer your questions. Please stay behind the fence and do not touch or feed the lions. They are wild animals and they can be dangerous." Ben said. + +Lila and mom listened to Ben. They learned that lions are the king of the jungle, that they live in groups called prides, and that they roar to communicate. They also saw four lions lying on the grass. They were big and furry and had long tails. Lila thought they looked like Leo, but much bigger and scarier. + +Lila wanted to see the lions up close. She saw a small gap in the fence. She thought she could squeeze through and get closer to the lions. She let go of mom's hand and crawled towards the gap. + +"Mom, look, I can go see the lions!" Lila said. + +"Lila, no, stop! That's very dangerous! Come back here!" Mom said. + +But Lila did not listen. She pushed through the gap and ran towards the lions. She did not see that one of the lions was awake and watching her. The lion saw Lila and growled. He did not like the intruder. He got up and ran towards Lila. + +Lila saw the lion coming. She was scared. She screamed and dropped Leo. She turned around and ran back to the fence. But the gap was too small. She could not fit through. + +"Help, help! The lion is chasing me!" Lila cried. + +Mom heard Lila's scream. She was terrified. She ran to the fence and tried to pull Lila through. But she could not. She shouted for help. + +"Help, help! My daughter is inside the lion enclosure! Someone help us!" Mom cried. + +Ben heard the commotion. He saw Lila and mom at the fence. He saw the lion running towards Lila. He acted quickly. He grabbed his microphone and pressed a button. + +"Attention, attention! We have an emergency at the lion enclosure. Please shut the gate and lock it. Do not let anyone in or out. I repeat, shut the gate and lock it. Do not let anyone in or out." Ben said. + +He then ran to the gate and shut it. He locked it with a key. He then grabbed a tranquilizer gun and aimed it at the lion. He shot the lion with a dart. The lion fell to the ground and stopped moving. + +Ben then ran to the fence and helped Lila and mom. He lifted Lila over the fence and gave her to mom. Mom hugged Lila and cried. She was so relieved and grateful. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you! You saved my daughter's life! I'm so sorry, she was curious and ran away. I should have watched her more closely." Mom said. + +"It's OK, it's OK. I'm glad she's safe. But please, never do that again. It's very dangerous and irresponsible. You could have been hurt or killed by the lion. You have to respect the animals and follow the rules." Ben said. + +Lila was sorry too. She realized she made a big mistake. She was scared and ashamed. She apologized to Ben and mom. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry +Tom and Mia are playing with their toys in the garden. They have cars, dolls, balls and blocks. They make loud noises as they zoom, crash, bounce and build. They are having fun. + +But then, the sky turns dark and grey. Big drops of water start to fall from the clouds. It is raining. Tom and Mia run inside the house. They are wet and muddy. + +"Look at you!" says Mom. "You are dirty. You need to wash. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +Tom and Mia follow Mom. They take off their clothes and get into the tub. Mom turns on the tap and warm water fills the tub. She adds some soap and bubbles. Tom and Mia splash and scrub. They wash their hair, their faces, their arms and their legs. They are clean. + +"Can we play in the rain?" asks Tom. + +"No, you can't," says Mom. "The rain is too loud and too cold. It is not good for you. The rain is washing the world. It is making the grass, the flowers, the trees and the animals clean. We can watch from the window." + +Tom and Mia wrap themselves in towels and go to the window. They see the rain falling on the garden. They see the water shining on the leaves and the petals. They see the birds and the bugs hiding under the branches and the rocks. They see the rainbow in the sky. + +"The world is beautiful," says Mia. + +"Yes, it is," says Mom. "And so are you." +Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks. One day, Tim had a new car. It was red and shiny. It had a zip that made it go fast. + +"Look at my car!" Tim said to Sam. "It is lovely. Do you want to play with it?" + +Sam nodded. He wanted to play with the zip car. He reached for it, but Tim pulled it away. + +"No, you can't have it!" Tim said. "It is mine. You can play with your old car." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He did not like Tim's words. He wanted to share the zip car. He thought Tim was not a good friend. + +He grabbed the zip car from Tim's hands. He ran away with it. Tim chased him. He shouted and cried. + +"Give me back my car!" Tim said. "It is not yours. You are a bad friend!" + +Sam did not listen. He kept running. He did not see the big rock in front of him. He tripped and fell. The zip car flew out of his hands. It hit a tree and broke. + +Sam and Tim both stopped. They looked at the zip car. It was not lovely anymore. It was broken and sad. They both felt sorry and sad. They had lost the zip car and their friendship. They wished they had been nicer to each other. +Ben and Sam are twins. They look the same. They have the same hair, the same eyes, the same nose. They like the same toys, the same books, the same games. They always play together and share everything. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They run to the slide. But there is a problem. The slide is too thin. Only one person can go on the slide at a time. + +"Who will go first?" their mom asks. + +"I will go first!" Ben says. + +"No, I will go first!" Sam says. + +They start to fight. They pull and push each other. They are not happy. + +"Stop, stop!" their mom says. "You can't go on the slide together. You have to separate. You have to take turns. You have to be kind." + +"But we want to go on the slide together!" Ben and Sam say. + +Their mom thinks for a moment. She has an idea. + +"Look, there is another slide over there. It is bigger and wider. Two people can go on that slide at the same time. Why don't you go on that slide instead?" + +Ben and Sam look at the other slide. It is bigger and wider. It looks more fun. They smile. + +"Okay, let's go on that slide!" they say. + +They run to the other slide. They climb up the stairs. They sit on the slide. They hold each other's hand. They slide down together. They laugh and shout. + +They are happy. They are twins. They are friends. +Mia and Ben were twins who loved to watch the stars at night. They had a big telescope that their dad gave them for their birthday. It was expensive, but dad said it was worth it to see the wonders of the sky. + +One night, Mia and Ben saw something very bright and fast in the sky. It had a long tail of light behind it. They looked through the telescope and saw that it was a comet. A comet was a big ball of ice and dust that flew around the sun. Sometimes, it came close to the earth and made a beautiful show. + +"Wow, look at the comet!" Mia said. "It's so pretty and shiny!" + +"I wish we could touch it," Ben said. "Do you think it's cold or hot?" + +"I don't know," Mia said. "But I know it's very special. Dad said comets only come once in a long time. We are lucky to see it." + +Mia and Ben decided to perform a song for the comet. They liked to sing and dance together. They thought the comet would like it too. They sang a song about the stars and the moon and the comet. They waved their arms and spun around. They had a lot of fun. + +The comet seemed to like their song. It flashed and sparkled in the sky. It stayed for a while, then it moved away. Mia and Ben waved goodbye to the comet. They hoped it would come back someday. + +They went inside and told their dad what they saw and what they did. Dad was proud of them. He hugged them and said they were his little stars. He gave them a cup of warm milk and tucked them in bed. Mia and Ben fell asleep, dreaming of the comet. +Tom liked to mail letters to his friends. He had many stamps and envelopes. He wrote nice things and drew pictures. He was happy when he got letters back. + +One day, he saw a big cactus in his yard. It had many spikes and flowers. Tom thought it was pretty. He wanted to share it with his friends. He got an idea. He cut a piece of the cactus and put it in an envelope. He wrote "To my friend" and put a stamp on it. He did not know that the cactus was prickly and could hurt. + +He mailed the envelope and waited for a reply. He did not get one. He got many angry calls instead. His friends said they got hurt by the cactus. They said it was mean and rude. They did not want to be his friends anymore. Tom felt sad and sorry. He wished he had not mailed the cactus. + +He learned a lesson. He learned that he should not mail things that can hurt others. He learned that he should be kind and careful. He learned that he should ask before he share. He tried to be a better friend. He tried to be tidy and not make a mess. He hoped his friends would forgive him. He hoped they would mail him letters again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes with their shovels and fill them with rocks and sticks. They made a big hole near the fence and put some shiny stones in it. + +"Look at our hole!" Ben said. "It is so good and pretty!" + +"I like our hole too!" Lily said. "We are good diggers!" + +They admired their hole and smiled. They did not see the dog on the other side of the fence. The dog saw their hole and smelled their stones. The dog wanted to play with them. + +The dog dug under the fence and made a bigger hole. He jumped into the garden and ran to Ben and Lily's hole. He took their stones in his mouth and threw them around. He barked and wagged his tail. + +"Hey!" Ben said. "That is our hole! Give us our stones back!" + +"No!" Lily said. "Go away, dog! You are bad!" + +But the dog did not listen. He liked their hole and their stones. He thought they were his friends. + +Ben and Lily were scared and angry. They ran to the house and told their mom. Their mom came out and saw the dog. She knew the dog. He belonged to their neighbor. + +"Rex!" she said. "What are you doing here? You made a mess!" + +She called the neighbor and told him to get his dog. The neighbor came and apologized. He took Rex back to his yard and fixed the fence. + +Ben and Lily went back to their hole. It was not good and pretty anymore. It was big and dirty. Their stones were gone. + +They were sad and cried. They did not like Rex. They did not admire him. +Lily was a little dog who loved to chew. She chewed on her toys, her bones, and sometimes her owner's shoes. She also liked to chew on the lawn, especially the green and juicy parts. She thought it was fun and tasty. + +But one day, she chewed too much. She chewed on a part of the lawn that had a bee hiding in it. The bee was angry and stung Lily on her nose. Lily yelped and ran away. Her nose hurt and swelled up. She felt very sorry and sad. + +Her owner saw what happened and took Lily to the vet. The vet gave Lily some medicine and a mild cream to put on her nose. He told Lily and her owner that chewing on the lawn was not good for dogs. It could make them sick or hurt them. He said Lily should only chew on things that were safe and meant for dogs. + +Lily learned her lesson. She stopped chewing on the lawn and only chewed on her toys, her bones, and sometimes her owner's shoes. She was more careful and happy. She also made friends with the bee, who apologized for stinging her. They agreed to share the lawn and not bother each other. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful what you chew on, and respect other living things. +Sara liked to imagine that she could speak different languages. She had many books with pictures and words from other places. She would point at the words and try to say them out loud. Sometimes she would make up her own words and pretend they were a mysterious language. + +One day, she was playing with her books in her room, when her brother Tom came in. He saw her talking to herself and laughed. + +"What are you doing, Sara?" he asked. + +"I'm speaking a mysterious language," she said. "Do you want to learn it?" + +Tom was curious. He liked to learn new things. He nodded and sat next to her. + +"Okay, this is how you say hello in my language," she said. "Bala bala." + +"Bala bala," Tom repeated. + +"Good. And this is how you say thank you. Mala mala." + +"Mala mala," Tom said. + +They continued to learn more words and phrases from Sara's language. They had fun and laughed a lot. They felt like they had a secret code that only they could understand. + +Their mom heard them and smiled. She was happy that they were playing together and using their imagination. She wondered what they were talking about, but she decided not to interrupt them. She let them enjoy their mysterious language. +Tom and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things on the beach, like shells, rocks, and birds. + +One day, they found a crab on the sand. It was small and red, and it had two big claws. Tom wanted to touch it, but Lily was afraid. + +"Look, a crab!" Tom said. "Can I hold it?" + +"No, Tom, it might pinch you!" Lily said. "Leave it alone!" + +But Tom did not listen. He reached out his hand to grab the crab. The crab saw Tom and snapped its claw at him. Tom yelped and pulled back his hand. It hurt a lot. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "The crab bit me!" + +Mom and Dad heard Tom and ran to him. They saw the crab and Tom's hand. They took Tom to a shady spot and put some ice on his hand. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Mom asked. + +"It hurts, Mom!" Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Dad said. "You should not touch wild animals. They might be scared or angry and hurt you." + +"I know, Dad," Tom said. "I was not honest. I did not listen to Lily. She was right." + +Lily came to Tom and hugged him. She was not mad at him. She was glad he was okay. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "You are a good sister. Can we still be friends?" + +"Of course, Tom," Lily said. "You are a good brother. I love you." + +They smiled and hugged. Mom and Dad smiled too. They were proud of their honest children. + +They decided to rest for a while and have some snacks. Then they went back to the beach and played some more. They had fun, but they did not bother the crab again. They let it live in peace. +Lily was nervous. She had to take a bow on the big stage. She had practiced a lot with her dance teacher and her friends, but she was still scared. What if she forgot the steps? What if she fell down? What if the people did not clap? + +She held her pink dress and looked at the curtain. She heard the music start. It was time to go. She saw her teacher smile and nod. She saw her friends wave and wink. She took a deep breath and walked to the stage. + +She saw the bright lights and the many faces. She felt her heart beat fast. She tried to remember the dance. She followed her friends and moved her arms and legs. She felt the music and the rhythm. She started to have fun. She forgot to be nervous. + +She heard the music end. She heard the people clap and cheer. She felt happy and proud. She looked at her friends and smiled. They smiled back and held hands. They took a bow together. They heard the people clap and cheer more. They felt happy and proud too. + +They ran off the stage and hugged their teacher. She hugged them back and said, "You did great! I am so proud of you! You are all stars!" They thanked her and said, "You are the best teacher! We love you!" They laughed and cheered and hugged some more. They had a great day. +Tom and Anna were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to be creative and make up stories with their dolls and cars. Tom pretended to be a superhero who could fly and save people. Anna pretended to be a princess who lived in a castle and had a magic wand. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. It was thunder. It sounded like a big drum that someone was hitting very hard. Tom and Anna looked at each other and felt scared. They did not like thunder. It made them think of monsters and bad things. + +"Mommy, Daddy, where are you?" Tom shouted. He wanted to run to them and hug them. He thought they could make the thunder go away. + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe they are in the kitchen or the bedroom. Let's go find them." Anna said. She grabbed Tom's hand and tried to be brave. She thought they could stick together and be safe. + +They got up from the floor and walked to the door. But before they could open it, they saw a flash of light outside the window. It was lightning. It looked like a big snake that was moving very fast in the sky. Tom and Anna gasped and stopped. They felt more scared. They did not like lightning. It made them think of fire and danger. + +"Mommy, Daddy, help!" Anna screamed. She wanted to hide under the sofa and cover her eyes. She thought the lightning could hurt them. + +"Don't panic, Anna. Don't panic. We can do this. We can be creative." Tom said. He tried to calm Anna and himself. He thought they could use their toys to protect them. + +He picked up his superhero doll and held it in front of him. He said, "This is Super Tom. He can fly and fight the lightning. He is not afraid of anything. He will save us." + +He picked up Anna's princess doll and gave it to her. He said, "This is Princess Anna. She has a magic wand and a castle. She can make the thunder stop. She is very smart and kind. She will help us." + +Tom and Anna hugged their dolls and pretended they were talking to them. They made up stories about how Super Tom and Princess Anna used their powers to stop the storm and make the sun come out. They smiled and laughed and felt less scared. They were very creative. + +Soon, the thunder and lightning stopped. The rain became softer and the sky became brighter. Tom and Anna heard their parents calling them from the kitchen. They ran to them and hugged them. They told them about their toys and their stories. Their parents praised them for being creative and brave. They said they were proud of them. Tom and Anna felt happy and safe. They liked their toys and their stories. They liked their parents and each other. They liked being creative. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play and learn together. They have a big book with many pictures and words. They study the book every day. + +One day, they see a new picture in the book. It is a picture of a big bird with a long neck and spots. Lily says, "What is this bird? It looks crazy!" + +Tom says, "I don't know. Let's read the word under the picture." They look at the word. It is a hard word. They try to say it. "Gee-raff," Lily says. "Gir-affe," Tom says. + +They are not sure. They want to know more. They ask their teacher, Miss Lee. Miss Lee is very nice. She knows many things. + +Miss Lee says, "This bird is not a bird. It is an animal. It is called a giraffe. It lives in a place far away, where it is very hot and dry. It eats leaves from tall trees. It has a long neck and spots to help it survive." + +Lily and Tom are amazed. They say, "Wow! A giraffe is a very interesting animal. Thank you, Miss Lee, for telling us the news." + +Miss Lee says, "You're welcome, Lily and Tom. I'm glad you like to study and learn new things. You are very smart and curious." She smiles and gives them a sticker. Lily and Tom are happy. They love their book and their teacher. +Tom and Jen liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made noises like vroom and beep when they moved them on the floor. They pretended they were driving on roads and bridges and hills. + +One day, Tom found a big car in the garage. It was red and shiny and had a motor inside. Tom wanted to play with it. He asked his dad if he could. His dad said no. He said the car was not a toy. He said it was dangerous and could hurt Tom. He said Tom should never touch it. + +But Tom did not listen. He waited until his dad was busy. Then he sneaked into the garage. He climbed into the car. He saw many buttons and levers and dials. He wondered what they did. He pushed one of them. The car started to make a loud noise. It was the motor. Tom was scared. He wanted to stop it. But he did not know how. + +Jen heard the noise. She ran to the garage. She saw Tom in the car. She saw the car moving. She saw the car hit the wall. She saw the car catch fire. She screamed. She ran to get help. She mentioned Tom and the car and the fire. + +But it was too late. The fire was too big. The car was too hot. Tom was trapped inside. He could not get out. He was burned. He was hurt. He was gone. + +Jen was sad. She cried. She missed Tom. She wished he had listened to his dad. She wished he had not played with the car. She wished he had not pushed the button. She wished he had not started the motor. She wished he had not had a terrible end. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with their toy guns. They pretend to be spies and solve mysteries. One day, they find a high tree in the park. They think there is a secret in the tree. + +"Let's climb the tree and see what is there," Ben says. + +"OK, but be careful. There might be bad guys," Sam says. + +They climb the tree and look around. They see a big nest with eggs. They think the eggs are a mystery. + +"Wow, look at the eggs. They are so big and colorful. What kind of bird is this?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a dragon or a dinosaur," Sam says. + +They hear a loud noise. They see a big bird flying towards them. The bird is angry. It thinks they want to take its eggs. + +"Uh-oh, we have to get out of here. The bird is coming," Ben says. + +"Quick, shoot it with your toy gun. Maybe it will go away," Sam says. + +They shoot the bird with their toy guns. The bird does not like it. It flaps its wings and pecks at them. It hurts them. + +"Ow, ow, ow. Stop it, bird. We are sorry. We don't want your eggs," Ben says. + +"Help, help, help. Someone, save us. The bird is mean," Sam says. + +They cry and scream. They are scared. They want to go home. + +A lady hears them. She runs to the tree. She sees the bird and the boys. She has a real gun. She shoots the bird with her real gun. The bird falls down. It is dead. + +"Are you OK, boys? What are you doing here? This is a dangerous place. This bird is a hawk. It can hurt you," the lady says. + +"We are sorry, lady. We were playing spies. We wanted to solve the mystery of the eggs. We didn't know the bird was a hawk. We are sorry," Ben says. + +"We are sorry, lady. We were just having fun. We didn't mean to make the bird angry. We are sorry," Sam says. + +The lady hugs them. She is kind. She takes them down from the tree. She gives them band-aids and cookies. She tells them to be careful next time. She tells them to respect the animals and their homes. She tells them to use their imagination, but not to shoot real things. + +Ben and Sam say thank you. They are sorry and sad. They learned a lesson. They go home with the lady. They tell their parents what happened. They promise to be good. They are still friends. They still like to play with their toy guns. But they don't shoot at birds anymore. They shoot at aliens and robots instead. They still solve mysteries. But they don't climb high trees anymore. They use their binoculars and maps instead. They have fun. They are happy. The end. +Ben and Mia like to play on the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. One day, they see something big and shiny in the water. It is an anchor. They wonder who left it there. + +They run to the anchor and touch it. It is cold and hard. They try to lift it, but it is too heavy. They guess it belongs to a big boat. Maybe a pirate boat. They pretend they are pirates and look for treasure. + +They find a blue bucket and fill it with sand. They say it is gold and jewels. They find a stick and say it is a sword. They find a red scarf and say it is a flag. They have fun playing pirates with the anchor. + +But then, they hear their mom calling them. It is time to go home. They say goodbye to the anchor and the beach. They take their bucket, stick and scarf with them. They hope the anchor will still be there tomorrow. They want to play pirates again. +Ben and Lily were playing with their dolls in the living room. They liked to pretend that the dolls were their parents and make them talk and do things. Ben had a big doll with a great mustache and a hat. Lily had a small doll with a dress and a bow. + +"Hello, I am Daddy and I have a great mustache," Ben said in a deep voice. He made his doll walk around and look important. + +"Hello, I am Mommy and I have a pretty dress," Lily said in a high voice. She made her doll sit on the couch and smile. + +Ben had an idea. He wanted to make his doll do something funny. He took the hat from his doll and put it on Lily's doll. Then he took the bow from Lily's doll and put it on his doll. + +"Look, now Daddy has a bow and Mommy has a hat!" Ben said, laughing. + +Lily did not like Ben's idea. She liked her doll the way it was. She felt an urge to take the hat and the bow back. + +"Ben, that is not nice. Give me back my bow and my hat!" Lily said, reaching for the dolls. + +Ben did not want to give them back. He thought it was fun to switch them. + +"No, Lily, it is funny. Look, Daddy has a bow and Mommy has a hat!" Ben said, holding the dolls away from Lily. + +Lily got angry. She tried to grab the dolls from Ben, but he was stronger. They started to pull and tug on the dolls. + +"Stop it, Ben! Stop it, Lily!" a voice said. + +They looked up and saw their real mom and dad standing in the doorway. Their mom and dad had heard the noise and came to see what was going on. Their mom and dad looked at the dolls and saw the hat and the bow. + +"What are you doing with our dolls?" their mom asked. + +Ben and Lily felt ashamed. They knew they had done something wrong. They let go of the dolls and gave them back to each other. + +"We were playing, but Ben switched the hat and the bow," Lily said. + +"I was just joking, but Lily got mad," Ben said. + +Their mom and dad looked at each other and smiled. They understood that Ben and Lily were just having fun, but they also needed to learn to respect each other's things. + +"It is okay to play, but you have to ask before you change something that belongs to someone else," their mom said. + +"And you have to be gentle with the dolls. They are not toys, they are our memories," their dad said. + +He touched his great mustache and winked at Ben. He took his hat from Lily's doll and put it on his head. He took his bow from Ben's doll and gave it to Lily. + +"Here, Lily, this is for you. You can keep it if you want," he said. + +Lily smiled and thanked her dad. She put the bow on her hair and hugged her doll. + +"Thank you, Daddy. You have a great mustache," she said. + +Ben also smiled and thanked his dad. He hugged his doll and looked at his mom. + +"Thank you, Mommy. You have a pretty dress," he said. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and kissed them. They were happy to see their children playing nicely. + +"Let's go and have some cookies, shall we?" their mom said. + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily said. + +They followed their mom and dad to the kitchen, holding their dolls. They had learned a lesson and had a good time. They loved their mom and dad and their great mustache and pretty dress. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were lions and chase each other. Lily had a stick in her hand. She used it as a claw to scratch the grass. + +"Roar!" she said. "I am a big lion. I will catch you, Ben!" + +Ben ran away from Lily. He laughed and looked for a place to hide. He saw a big tree with a hole in it. He crawled inside the hole. He felt something soft and warm. + +"Roar!" said a voice. Ben was scared. He turned around and saw a real lion. The lion had a stick in his mouth. He used it as a toy to play with. + +"Who are you?" asked the lion. + +"I am Ben. I am a little lion. I was playing with Lily. She is my friend," said Ben. + +The lion smiled. He was not angry. He was lonely. He had no friends in the park. + +"Can I play with you and Lily?" asked the lion. + +"Yes, you can. But you have to be nice and gentle. We are not real lions. We are children," said Ben. + +The lion nodded. He dropped his stick and followed Ben out of the hole. He saw Lily waiting for Ben. She was surprised to see the lion. + +"Roar!" said the lion. + +"Roar!" said Lily. + +They all laughed and played together. They had fun. The lion was happy. He had found new friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a man with a cane. He was walking very slowly and looked sad. + +"Hello, sir. Why are you sad?" Tom asked. + +"Hello, children. I am sad because I miss my grandson. He lives far away and I can't see him often," the man said. + +"Maybe you can print a picture of him and put it on your wall. Then you can see him every day," Lily said. + +"That's a good idea, but I don't have a printer at home. And I don't have a picture of him either," the man said. + +"We can help you. We have a printer at home and we can take a picture of you and your grandson with our phone. Then we can print it for you and bring it to you tomorrow," Tom said. + +"Really? That would be very nice of you. Thank you, children. You are very kind," the man said. + +The next day, Tom and Lily came back to the park with a printed picture of the man and his grandson. They gave it to the man and he smiled. + +"Look, this is my grandson. He is very smart and funny. He likes to play with cars and trains. He also likes to eat cookies and ice cream. They are delicious," the man said. + +"He looks like you. He has the same eyes and nose. We like cookies and ice cream too. They are delicious," Lily said. + +"Would you like to have some with me? I have some in my bag. I bought them for you as a thank you gift," the man said. + +"Yes, please. That would be very nice. Thank you, sir," Tom said. + +The man, Tom and Lily sat on a bench and shared the cookies and ice cream. They talked and laughed and became friends. The man was not sad anymore. He was happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to visit their grandma and grandpa at the ranch. The ranch has many animals, like cows, horses, chickens and dogs. Anna and Ben love to feed the animals and play with them. + +One day, grandma and grandpa say they have a surprise for Anna and Ben. They take them to the barn and show them a new baby horse. The baby horse is brown and white and has a soft mane. Anna and Ben are very happy and want to pet the baby horse. + +"Can we name the baby horse?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, you can," grandma says. "But you have to agree on a name." + +Anna thinks for a moment and says, "I want to name him Spot, because he has spots." + +Ben shakes his head and says, "No, I want to name him Star, because he has a star on his forehead." + +Anna and Ben disagree. They both want their name for the baby horse. They start to argue and raise their voices. + +"Spot!" + +"Star!" + +"Spot!" + +"Star!" + +Grandma and grandpa look at each other and sigh. They are anxious. They don't like it when Anna and Ben fight. They want them to get along and share. + +"Anna, Ben, please stop," grandma says. "The baby horse needs a name that both of you like. How about you take turns and suggest a name, and then say why you like it. Maybe you can find a name that you both agree on." + +Anna and Ben nod and calm down. They take turns and suggest different names, like Brownie, Snowy, Lucky and Flash. They say why they like each name and listen to each other. After a while, they find a name that they both like. + +"How about we name him Comet, because he is fast and bright?" Anna says. + +"I like that name," Ben says. "Comet is a good name for a baby horse." + +Anna and Ben smile and hug each other. They agree on a name. They pet Comet and tell him his name. Comet neighs and nuzzles them. Grandma and grandpa are proud and happy. They hug Anna and Ben and Comet. They all go to the house and have some cookies and milk. They have a good day at the ranch. +Sara was very happy. She was going on a holiday with her mom and dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. Sara had a new toy. It was a doll with long hair and a pink dress. She named her doll Lily. + +On the way to the holiday, they stopped at a park. Sara saw a girl playing with a ball. She wanted to play with her. She asked her mom and dad if she could go. They said yes, but be careful. Sara ran to the girl and said hello. The girl said hello back. Her name was Mia. + +Sara and Mia played with the ball. They had fun. They laughed and ran and kicked the ball. Sara showed Mia her doll. Mia liked her doll. She said she had a doll too, but she left it at home. She said her doll had short hair and a blue dress. She named her doll Zoe. + +Sara had an idea. She asked Mia if she wanted to trade dolls for a while. Mia said yes. She thought that was very nice of Sara. Sara gave Mia her doll Lily and Mia gave Sara her doll Zoe. They hugged and said thank you. They played with their new dolls. + +Sara's mom and dad came to get her. They said it was time to go to the holiday. Sara said goodbye to Mia. She said she was happy to meet her. She said she hoped to see her again. Mia said goodbye to Sara. She said she was happy to meet her too. She said she hoped to have a good holiday. They hugged and gave back their dolls. They waved and smiled. Sara got in the car with her mom and dad. She held her doll Lily. She was very happy. She had a new friend. She was compassionate. +Tom and Lily were going to fly in a big plane with their mom and dad. They were excited to see their grandma and grandpa, who lived in a far land. They packed their bags, their toys, and their snacks. They got in the car and drove to the airport. + +At the airport, they checked in their bags and got their tickets. They followed their mom and dad to a big room with many seats and windows. They looked out the windows and saw many big planes. They wondered which one was theirs. + +"Look, Tom, that one is blue and white, like your shirt!" Lily said, pointing to a plane. + +"Maybe that's ours!" Tom said. "Do you think it will fly fast?" + +"Very fast!" their dad said. "But we have to wait a little bit. Our plane is delayed." + +"Delayed? What does that mean?" Lily asked. + +"It means our plane is not ready yet. Something is wrong with it. They have to fix it before we can go," their mom said. + +"How long do we have to wait?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, honey. Maybe an hour, maybe more. We have to be patient," their mom said. + +Tom and Lily felt sad and bored. They did not want to wait. They wanted to fly in the plane and see their grandma and grandpa. They played with their toys, ate their snacks, and read their books. But they still felt sad and bored. + +After a long time, their dad looked at his watch and smiled. He said, "Good news, kids! Our plane is ready! They fixed it! We can go now!" + +Tom and Lily jumped up and cheered. They were excited again. They followed their mom and dad to a gate, where a lady scanned their tickets. They walked through a tunnel and entered the plane. They found their seats and buckled their belts. They looked out the window and saw the blue and white plane. + +"Is this our plane, dad?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, it is, son. And it's a very good plane. It will take us to the far land, where grandma and grandpa are waiting for us," their dad said. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They were happy. They did not mind the delay anymore. They knew it was worth it. They were going to fly in the plane and see their grandma and grandpa. They were going to have a lot of fun. +Lily was a bossy girl who liked to tell everyone what to do. She wanted to be a teacher when she grew up, so she pretended that her toys were her students. She made them sit in rows, gave them homework, and scolded them if they did not listen. + +One day, she decided to play university with her toys. She put on a big hat and a gown, and said, "I am the professor, and you are the students. You have to learn a lot of things from me, and do what I say. Or else, you will not get a good grade." + +She picked up a book and started to read aloud. She did not care if the book was too hard for her toys, or if they were bored or tired. She just wanted to show them how smart she was. + +But then, her little brother Tommy came into the room. He saw Lily's toys and wanted to play with them. He grabbed a teddy bear and a doll, and said, "Hi, I am Tommy, and I want to be your friend. Let's have fun together!" + +Lily was very angry. She shouted, "Tommy, put down my toys! They are not for you, they are for me! They are my students, and I am their professor! Go away, or I will tell Mom!" + +Tommy did not listen. He said, "No, they are not your students, they are your toys! And you are not a professor, you are a bossy sister! I will not go away, I will play with them!" + +Lily and Tommy started to fight over the toys. They pulled and pushed and yelled at each other. The toys fell on the floor, and some of them broke. Lily and Tommy did not notice, they were too busy arguing. + +Mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the mess and the broken toys, and she was very upset. She said, "Lily and Tommy, what have you done? Why are you fighting over the toys? You should share and play nicely with each other!" + +Lily and Tommy stopped fighting and looked at Mom. They felt sorry for what they had done. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing university, and we had a fight. We did not mean to break the toys." + +Mom said, "Playing university is fine, but you have to respect each other and your toys. Lily, you cannot be too bossy and force your toys to do things they do not like. Tommy, you cannot take Lily's toys without asking and ruin her game. You have to learn to compromise and cooperate. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tommy nodded. They said, "We understand, Mom. We will try to be nicer to each other and our toys. Can we still play university?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can still play university, but only if you follow some rules. First, you have to clean up this mess and fix the broken toys. Second, you have to take turns being the professor and the student. Third, you have to choose a book that is suitable for your toys and that you both like. And fourth, you have to have fun and learn something new. Do you agree?" + +Lily and Tommy agreed. They said, "We agree, Mom. Thank you for helping us. We love you." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too. Now, go and play university, and be good to each other and your toys." + +Lily and Tommy did as Mom said. They cleaned up the mess and fixed the broken toys. They took turns being the professor and the student. They chose a book that was about animals and that they both liked. And they had fun and learned something new. + +They remained friends and played university many times. They also played other games and shared their toys. They were not so bossy or greedy anymore. They were happy and kind. And Mom was proud of them. +Tom and Mia were twins. They liked to play together, but sometimes they had fights. One day, they were packing their bags for vacation. They were going to the beach with Mom and Dad. + +Tom wanted to bring his toy car. He put it in his bag. Mia saw it and said, "That's my car! Give it back!" + +Tom said, "No, it's mine! I found it first!" + +Mia said, "No, you didn't! You took it from my room!" + +They started to pull the car and yell at each other. Mom heard them and came to their room. She said, "Stop fighting, please! We have to leave soon. You can share the car on vacation." + +Tom and Mia did not listen to Mom. They ignored her and kept fighting. Mom was sad and angry. She said, "Fine. If you can't share, then no one gets the car. I will take it away." + +She took the car and put it in a closet. Tom and Mia were shocked and upset. They cried and said, "No, Mom, no! We want the car!" + +Mom said, "Too late. You had your chance. Now go finish packing and say sorry to each other." + +Tom and Mia realized they were wrong. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They hugged and said, "We love you, Mom. We love you, twin." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you, too. Now let's go have fun on vacation." + +They finished packing and went to the car. On the way to the beach, they saw many things. They saw cows and horses and trees and flowers. They were curious and asked Mom and Dad many questions. They learned new things and had fun. + +They forgot about the toy car. They did not need it. They had each other. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the sand. They had a bucket and a shovel and made a big castle. They also found some shells and stones and put them on the castle. + +"Look, Tim, I found a shrimp!" Sam said, holding a small pink thing in his hand. "It is so tiny and cute!" + +"Let me see!" Tim said, reaching for the shrimp. But Sam pulled it away. + +"No, it is mine! I found it first!" Sam said, holding the shrimp close to his chest. + +"Share, Sam, share!" Tim said, trying to grab the shrimp. "It is not fair!" + +They started to fight over the shrimp, pulling and pushing each other. They did not see a big wave coming from the sea. The wave crashed over their castle and washed away their shells and stones. It also splashed over them and made them wet and cold. + +"Ah, help!" Tim and Sam cried, dropping the shrimp. The shrimp fell into the water and swam away. + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a towel. She wrapped them in a blanket and gave them a hug. + +"Are you okay, boys?" she asked, wiping their faces. + +"Yes, mom, we are okay," Tim and Sam said, sniffling. + +"But we lost our shrimp and our castle," Tim said, looking sad. + +"And we were fighting," Sam said, looking sorry. + +Mom smiled and kissed their heads. + +"It is okay, boys. Shrimp belong in the sea, not in your hands. And castles can be built again. But you should not fight with each other. You are brothers and you should love each other." + +"Yes, mom, we love each other," Tim and Sam said, hugging each other. + +Mom gave them a cookie and a juice. + +"Now, do you want to play some more, or do you want to go home?" she asked. + +"Can we play some more, mom?" Tim and Sam asked, looking hopeful. + +"Sure, you can play some more. But be careful of the waves. And don't forget to shut your bucket when you are done, so the sand does not spill out." + +"Okay, mom, we will," Tim and Sam said, running back to the sand. + +They played happily and made a new castle. They also found some new shells and stones and put them on the castle. They did not fight over them. They shared them. They had fun. They were happy. +Tom and Anna liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and a big wardrobe. Sometimes they pretended the wardrobe was a secret door to another world. + +One day, they decided to play a game. Tom said, "Let's see who can find the most things in the wardrobe. You go first, Anna." + +Anna nodded and opened the wardrobe. She looked inside and saw some clothes, some shoes and some bags. She pulled out a hat and said, "Look, I found a hat. It is blue and soft." + +Tom said, "That's a nice hat, but I can find something better." He opened another door of the wardrobe and looked inside. He saw some coats, some scarves and some gloves. He pulled out a coat and said, "Look, I found a coat. It is red and warm." + +Anna said, "That's a nice coat, but I can find something better." She opened the last door of the wardrobe and looked inside. She saw nothing. The door was empty. She said, "Oh, no. There is nothing here. This door is empty." + +Tom said, "That's okay, Anna. You can have my coat. It is too big for me anyway." He gave her the coat and hugged her. They smiled and put the hat and the coat back in the wardrobe. They closed the doors and said, "Maybe next time we will find something more in the wardrobe. But we had fun today." They went to play with their toys and books. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with dolls and cars. But they have different styles. Lily likes to dress her dolls in pretty clothes and hats. Ben likes to make his cars go fast and loud. + +One day, they find a big box of toys in the attic. They are very happy. They want to share the toys. But they have a problem. The toys are old and cheap. Some of them are broken. Some of them are dirty. Some of them are missing parts. + +Lily picks up a doll with a torn dress and a missing eye. She says, "This doll is sad. I want to make her happy. I want to give her a new dress and a new eye." + +Ben picks up a car with a bent wheel and a cracked window. He says, "This car is cool. I want to make it faster. I want to fix the wheel and the window." + +They start to argue. Lily says, "No, you can't have the car. It's mine. I saw it first." + +Ben says, "No, you can't have the doll. It's mine. I like it better." + +They pull and tug at the toys. They shout and cry. They don't want to separate the toys. They don't want to share. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the attic. She sees the mess. She sees the twins. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, Lily and Ben. You are being selfish and rude. You have to separate the toys. You have to take turns. You have to be nice to each other." + +Lily and Ben look at Mom. They look at the toys. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben." + +They hug and kiss. They separate the toys. They take turns. They play together. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play with toys. One day, Lily got a new toy. It was a pony. It was pink and soft and had a long mane. + +"Look at my pony!" Lily said to Sam. "It is so pretty. Do you want to play with it?" + +Sam nodded. He liked ponies too. He reached out his hand to touch the pony. But Lily pulled it away. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily said. "You can't play with it. You have your own toys." + +Sam felt sad. He wanted to share with Lily. He thought sharing was nice. He said to Lily, "Please, can I play with your pony for a little bit? I will be careful. I will give it back to you." + +Lily shook her head. She was worried. She thought Sam might break her pony or make it dirty. She said to Sam, "No, you can't. Go away. Leave me and my pony alone." + +Sam felt very sad. He started to cry. He ran away from Lily. He did not want to be her friend anymore. + +Lily played with her pony by herself. She did not notice that Sam was gone. She did not notice that a big dog was coming. The dog saw the pony. The dog liked to chew on things. The dog ran to Lily and grabbed the pony in his mouth. + +Lily screamed. She tried to get her pony back. But the dog was stronger. The dog ran away with the pony. Lily was left with nothing. + +Lily cried. She wished she had shared with Sam. She wished Sam was still her friend. She wished she still had her pony. But it was too late. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. Lily is scared of the dog. She hides behind a tree. + +"Come, Lily, don't be scared," Ben says. "The dog is nice. He wants to play with us." + +Ben goes to the dog. He pets the dog's head. The dog wags his tail. He licks Ben's face. Ben laughs. + +"See, Lily, he is friendly. He likes you too," Ben says. He calls Lily to come. + +Lily is brave. She comes out of the tree. She walks to the dog. She touches the dog's fur. It is soft and warm. The dog sniffs Lily. He gives her a kiss. Lily smiles. + +The dog's owner comes. He is a man with a camera. He sees Lily and Ben with the dog. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like my dog? His name is Rex," the man says. + +"Yes, we like him. He is nice and fun," Lily and Ben say. + +"Can I take a photo of you and Rex? You look so happy together," the man says. + +"Yes, please," Lily and Ben say. + +The man takes a photo of Lily, Ben and Rex. He shows them the photo. It is a good photo. They all look happy. + +"Here, you can have the photo. It is a gift for you," the man says. He gives them the photo. + +"Thank you, sir. It is a nice photo. We will keep it," Lily and Ben say. + +They say goodbye to the man and Rex. They go home with the photo. They show the photo to their parents. Their parents are proud of them. They say they are brave and kind. Lily and Ben enjoy the photo. They put it on their wall. They remember the day they played with Rex. They are happy. +Timmy was a big boy now. He did not like his crib. He wanted a bed like his sister. He was angry at his crib. He wanted to destroy it. + +One night, when Mommy and Daddy were sleeping, Timmy got out of his crib. He found a big stick in the yard. He brought it to his room. He hit his crib with the stick. He hit it hard and loud. He made a big hole in his crib. + +"Timmy, what are you doing?" his sister asked. She woke up from the noise. She saw Timmy and his stick and his crib. + +"I'm destroying my crib. I hate it. It's black and small and bad. I want a bed like you," Timmy said. + +"Timmy, you can't do that. You'll hurt yourself. And you'll make Mommy and Daddy sad. They gave you the crib. They love you. You should love your crib too. It's not black. It's brown. And it's cozy and safe and good. You should be thankful for your crib," his sister said. + +She took the stick from Timmy. She hugged him. She helped him back to his crib. She covered him with a blanket. She sang him a song. Timmy felt sorry. He said sorry to his sister and his crib. He closed his eyes. He fell asleep. He dreamed of a bed. But he also dreamed of his crib. He loved his crib too. +Ben was a boy who liked to play with bricks. He had many bricks of different colors and shapes. He could build houses, towers, cars and animals with his bricks. He was very proud of his bricks and did not like to share them with anyone. + +One day, a new girl came to his school. Her name was Mia. She had no bricks at home. She only had a few old toys that were broken or dirty. She was very humble and kind. She wanted to make friends with Ben and play with his bricks. + +But Ben did not want to play with Mia. He thought she was poor and dirty. He said, "Go away, Mia. You cannot touch my bricks. They are mine. You have nothing to play with. You are not my friend." + +Mia felt very sad and lonely. She did not understand why Ben was so mean to her. She did not want to take his bricks. She only wanted to play with him and have fun. + +One day, Ben was playing with his bricks in the playground. He had built a big tower that reached the sky. He was very happy and proud of his tower. He said, "Look at my tower. It is the best tower in the world. No one can make a tower like mine." + +But then, a strong wind came and blew his tower down. His bricks fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Ben was very sad and angry. He cried, "No, no, no. My tower, my bricks. They are ruined. What will I do now?" + +He looked around and saw Mia. She was sitting on a bench with a few of her old toys. She saw Ben's tower fall and his bricks break. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Ben, are you okay? Do you want to play with me? I have some toys that you can use. They are not much, but they are fun." + +Ben looked at Mia and her toys. He felt ashamed of how he had treated her. He realized that she was a good and generous person. He said, "Mia, I am sorry. I was very rude and selfish to you. I did not want to share my bricks with you. I thought I was better than you. But I was wrong. You are a better friend than me. You are humble and kind. You offered to share your toys with me when I had nothing. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends?" + +Mia smiled and said, "Of course, Ben. I forgive you. We can be friends. Come, let's play together. We can use your bricks and my toys. We can make something new and beautiful." + +Ben and Mia played together and had a lot of fun. They used their bricks and toys to make a house, a car, an animal and a flower. They were happy and proud of their creations. They learned to share and care for each other. They became the best of friends. + +The moral of the story is: Do not judge people by what they have or do not have. Be humble and kind to everyone. Share what you have and you will find happiness and friendship. +Tim liked to swim in the pool. He had a big floaty that he could sit on and splash with his feet. He liked to look at the fish and the bubbles in the water. He was happy when he swam. + +One day, Tim saw a computer on the table near the pool. He was curious about the computer. He wanted to touch it and see what it could do. He got off his floaty and walked to the table. He did not tell his mom or dad where he was going. + +The computer had a lot of buttons and lights. Tim pressed some of the buttons and saw the screen change. He liked the colors and the sounds. He did not notice that the computer had a cord that was plugged into the wall.

"I am the dragon and I will eat you!" + +"Oh no!" Tom said, holding his sword. "You are a scary dragon, but I am a brave knight and I will stop you!" + +They ran around the bush, making noises and having fun. But then Tom saw something shiny on the ground. It was a fork. He thought it looked like a better weapon than his sword. + +"Anna, wait!" Tom said. "I have a request. Can we swap weapons? I want to use the fork and you can have the sword." + +Anna looked at the fork and the sword. She was clever and she knew that the fork was not a good weapon for a knight. It was small and sharp and could hurt someone. + +"No, Tom," Anna said. "That is a bad request. The fork is not a weapon, it is for eating. The sword is a weapon, it is for fighting. You keep the sword and I keep the stick. That is fair." + +Tom was sad. He really wanted the fork. He thought it was shiny and cool. But he also knew that Anna was right. The fork was not a weapon, and it could be dangerous. He decided to listen to Anna and keep the sword. + +"OK, Anna," Tom said. "You are a clever dragon. I will keep the sword and you keep the stick. But can we still play?" + +"Of course, Tom," Anna said. "We can still play. But be careful with the fork. It is not a toy." + +They put the fork away and continued to play knights and dragons. They had a lot of fun and were good friends. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Sara had a doll that she loved very much. She liked to wrap her doll in a soft blanket and give her hugs and kisses. Ben had a car that he liked to zoom around the floor and make vroom-vroom sounds. + +"Look at my car, Sara!" Ben said. "It can go very fast and make loud noises. It is better than your doll." + +"No, it is not!" Sara said. "My doll is very pretty and sweet. She can talk to me and be my friend. She is better than your car." + +They started to argue and raise their voices. They did not want to share their toys or play together. + +Their mom heard them and came to the living room. She saw them fighting and frowned. She did not like it when they were mean to each other. + +"Stop it, Sara and Ben!" she said. "You are making too much noise and hurting each other's feelings. You should be nice and play together. Why don't you try to make a group with your toys and see what they can do?" + +Sara and Ben looked at their mom and then at their toys. They felt a little sorry for being rude. They decided to try their mom's idea and make a group with their toys. + +They put their toys on the couch and made them sit next to each other. They pretended that the toys were having a tea party. Sara wrapped her doll in the blanket and gave her a cup of pretend tea. Ben made his car park next to the couch and gave it a pretend cookie. They made their toys talk to each other and say nice things. + +"Hello, doll," the car said. "You are very delicate and beautiful. I like your blanket. It is very soft and warm." + +"Thank you, car," the doll said. "You are very fast and cool. I like your noises. They are very fun and exciting." + +Sara and Ben smiled and giggled. They liked making their toys be friends. They also liked playing together. They forgot about their argument and had a good time. + +Their mom watched them and smiled too. She was happy that they learned to share and be kind. She gave them a hug and a kiss and said, "I'm proud of you, Sara and Ben. You are very good and smart. I love you very much." +Lily liked to play with her microscope. She got it from her grandpa, who was a doctor. He showed her how to look at tiny things, like bugs and leaves and hairs. Lily thought it was fun to see how different they were. + +One day, Lily wanted to show her microscope to her friend Ben. She put it in her backpack and zipped it up. She went to Ben's house and knocked on the door. Ben opened it and smiled. + +"Hi, Lily! Do you want to play?" he asked. + +"Yes, Ben! I have something cool to show you. Come, follow me!" Lily said. She took Ben's hand and led him to the backyard. She opened her backpack and took out her microscope. + +"Wow, what is that?" Ben asked. + +"It's a microscope. It makes tiny things look big. Do you want to try?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. How do you use it?" Ben asked. + +Lily showed Ben how to put a slide under the microscope and adjust the knobs. She gave him a slide with a bug on it. + +"Look, Ben. This is a bug. Can you see it?" Lily asked. + +Ben looked through the microscope and gasped. He saw the bug's eyes, legs, wings, and antennae. He saw how hairy and colorful it was. + +"Wow, Lily. That's amazing. The bug looks so different. Can I see another slide?" Ben asked. + +Lily nodded and gave him another slide with a leaf on it. Ben looked through the microscope and saw the veins, cells, and spots on the leaf. He was amazed by the details and colors. + +"Lily, this is so cool. Thank you for showing me. Can I show you something too?" Ben asked. + +Lily smiled and said, "Sure, Ben. What do you want to show me?" + +Ben ran to his house and came back with a toy car. He gave it to Lily and said, "This is my toy car. It can go fast and make noises. Do you want to play with it?" + +Lily looked at the toy car and said, "No, thank you, Ben. I don't like toy cars. They are boring and loud. I like microscopes. They are fun and quiet. Let's play with my microscope again." + +Ben felt sad and said, "But, Lily, I want to play with my toy car. It's my favorite toy. Can't we take turns?" + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, Ben. I'm the boss. I decide what we play. And I say we play with my microscope. Give it back to me." + +Ben didn't like how Lily was being bossy. He didn't want to give back the microscope. He wanted to play with his toy car. He said, "No, Lily. You're not the boss. You're being mean. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +He took the microscope and ran to his house. He slammed the door and locked it. He put the microscope on his table and played with his toy car. + +Lily was angry and confused. She didn't understand why Ben was mad at her. She thought she was being nice by sharing her microscope. She wanted to play with Ben, but she also wanted to play with her microscope. She didn't know what to do. + +She sat on the grass and cried. She wished she had a friend who liked microscopes as much as she did. She wished Ben would come back and play with her. She wished she wasn't so bossy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard with their toy jeep. They liked to pretend they were going on adventures in the jungle or the desert. They took turns driving the jeep and making noises like animals and cars. + +"Look, a lion!" Lily said, pointing to a big cat on the fence. "We have to rush away or it will eat us!" + +She grabbed the jeep and started to push it fast. Tom wanted to drive too, but Lily was too bossy. She did not let him touch the jeep. + +"Hey, stop!" Tom said. "It's my turn to drive. You are not fair!" + +He tried to pull the jeep from Lily, but she held on tight. They both pulled and pushed, and the jeep fell over. The wheels came off and the jeep broke. + +Tom and Lily were very sad. They looked at their toy jeep and started to cry. They wished they had not fought over it. + +The big cat on the fence saw them crying. It felt sorry for them. It jumped down and walked over to them. It licked their faces and purred. It was not a lion, it was a friendly cat. + +Tom and Lily stopped crying. They smiled and petted the cat. They said they were sorry to each other. They decided to share their toys and play nicely. They fixed their jeep and put the wheels back on. They thanked the cat for being kind. They invited the cat to join their adventures. The cat agreed and hopped on the jeep. They drove away happily, making noises like animals and cars. +Sara was very happy today. She was going to visit her grandma and grandpa. They lived in a big house with a garden and a dog. Sara loved the dog. His name was Spot and he was very cute and friendly. + +Sara and her mom got in the car and drove to grandma and grandpa's house. Sara sang a song on the way. She was excited to see Spot and play with him. When they arrived, grandma and grandpa gave them big hugs and kisses. Spot ran to Sara and wagged his tail. He licked her face and made her giggle. + +"Hello, Spot!" Sara said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Spot barked and nodded. He followed Sara to the garden. They played fetch with a ball, ran around the trees, and rolled on the grass. Sara and Spot had a lot of fun. + +But then, something bad happened. Spot stepped on a sharp rock and hurt his paw. He yelped and limped. Sara saw blood on his paw and felt scared. She ran to him and hugged him. + +"Spot, are you okay?" Sara asked. "You have pain. I'm sorry." + +Spot whimpered and licked her hand. He looked at her with sad eyes. Sara cried and called for help. + +"Mom! Grandma! Grandpa! Spot is hurt!" + +They heard her and came to the garden. They saw Spot and his paw. They were worried and sorry. + +"Don't worry, Sara," mom said. "We will take Spot to the vet. The vet will make him better. He will give him medicine and a bandage. Spot will be fine." + +"Can I go with you?" Sara asked. + +"Of course, honey," grandma said. "You are a good friend to Spot. He needs you." + +Sara nodded and smiled. She kissed Spot and told him she loved him. She held his paw and got in the car with mom. Grandma and grandpa waved goodbye and wished them well. + +Sara hoped Spot would feel better soon. She wanted to play with him again. She knew he was a brave and cute dog. She was glad to visit him and her grandma and grandpa. She loved them very much. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They wanted to make a fort with the box, but they had a problem. The box was too thin and it broke easily. + +"Let me fix it!" said Tim. He took some tape and tried to stick the box together. But the tape did not work. The box was still broken. + +"No, let me fix it!" said Sam. He took some glue and tried to glue the box together. But the glue did not work. The box was still broken. + +They both got angry and started to fight. They pulled and pushed the box until it was torn into pieces. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the garage. She saw the mess and the boys. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why did you ruin the box?" + +"We wanted to make a fort, but the box was too thin," said Tim. + +"We tried to fix it, but it did not work," said Sam. + +Mom shook her head. "You should have asked me first. I would have given you a better box. But you did not permit me to help you. You only thought about yourselves. Now you have no box and no fort." + +Tim and Sam felt sorry. They realized they were wrong. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They helped Mom clean up the garage. They learned to share and to ask for help. They also learned to be careful with things. +Tom and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, Tom got a new toy pistol from his mom. He was very happy and showed it to Ben. + +"Wow, that is a cool pistol!" Ben said. "Can I play with it too?" + +Tom shook his head. "No, this is mine. You have your own toys. Go away!" + +Ben felt sad and angry. He thought Tom was spoiled and mean. He wanted to share the pistol, but Tom did not let him. + +He decided to make a plan. He waited until Tom was not looking, and then he grabbed the pistol and ran away. He hid behind a tree and pretended to shoot at birds and cars. + +"Bang, bang, bang!" he shouted. + +Tom heard the noise and saw Ben with his pistol. He was very mad and ran after him. + +"Give me back my pistol, you thief!" he yelled. "That is not yours!" + +He tried to snatch the pistol from Ben, but Ben held it tight. They both pulled and pushed, and the pistol broke in half. They both stared at the broken toy and felt sorry. + +They realized they had been silly and selfish. They should have shared the pistol and played together. They apologized to each other and hugged. + +"Let's be friends again," Tom said. + +"OK, let's," Ben said. + +They went to Tom's mom and asked her to fix the pistol. She was glad to see them get along. She glued the pistol back together and gave it to them. + +"Now, you can both play with it, but be careful and gentle," she said. + +Tom and Ben nodded and thanked her. They learned to share and have fun. They were happy friends. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with rocks. They had many rocks of different shapes and colors. They liked to paint their rocks with brushes and watercolors. They made their rocks look like animals, flowers, and stars. + +One day, they found a big, shiny rock near the pond. It was the most beautiful rock they had ever seen. They both wanted to paint it. Lily said, "I saw it first. It is my rock. I will paint it." Ben said, "No, it is our rock. We can share it. We can paint it together." Lily said, "No, it is mine. Go away. You are selfish." Ben said, "No, you are selfish. You are not nice. You are not my friend." + +They started to pull the rock from each other. They were angry and sad. They did not have fun. They did not notice that the rock was slippery and wet. It slipped from their hands and rolled into the pond. Splash! The rock was gone. They could not see it anymore. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry. They said, "I am sorry. I was selfish. I should have shared. You are my friend. I like you." They hugged and smiled. They decided to look for another rock to paint. They hoped to find one that was big and shiny. But they also knew that any rock would be nice if they painted it together. +Anna liked to draw shapes with her crayons. She had many colors and many shapes. She had circles, squares, stars, and triangles. She liked triangles the best. They had three sides and three points. She drew them everywhere. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy playing with a big red ball. The ball had many triangles on it. Anna wanted the ball. She thought it was unusual and pretty. She waited until the boy was not looking. Then she ran and took the ball. She hid behind a tree and hugged the ball. + +"Hey, that's my ball!" the boy shouted. He saw Anna and ran after her. He was angry and sad. He liked his ball. He wanted it back. + +"Give me my ball!" he said to Anna. He tried to grab the ball from her. + +"No, it's mine!" Anna said. She held the ball tight. She did not want to share. She liked the triangles. + +The boy and Anna pulled and pushed. They both wanted the ball. They did not listen to each other. They made a lot of noise. + +"Stop, stop!" their mom said.

They put the animals in different areas, according to what they ate and where they came from. They made signs with pictures and names for each area. They were very proud of their work. + +But then, their big brother Ben came into their room. He saw their zoo and laughed. He said that their zoo was silly and wrong. He said that lions and monkeys did not live together, and that elephants and giraffes were too tall for their small room. He said that he could make a better zoo than them. + +He grabbed some of their animals and threw them around. He mixed them up and made a mess. He said that his zoo was more fun and realistic. He did not care that Tom and Lily were angry and sad. He did not listen to them when they asked him to stop. + +Tom and Lily cried and ran to their mom. They told her what Ben had done. Their mom was not happy. She went to their room and scolded Ben. She told him that he had to apologize to Tom and Lily and help them fix their zoo. She told him that he had to respect their toys and their imagination. She told him that he had to learn to share and play nicely. + +Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He said he was sorry to Tom and Lily and hugged them. He helped them organize their zoo again. He said that their zoo was actually very cool and creative. He asked them if he could join them and play with them. Tom and Lily smiled and said yes. They all played together and had fun. They learned to get along and appreciate each other. +Sara and Ben were very happy. They were going to decorate the big tree with their uncle Tom. Uncle Tom was very kind and funny. He brought many shiny things to put on the tree. He also brought some cookies and milk for them. + +They helped uncle Tom to put the shiny things on the tree. They used red, green, blue, and gold. They also put some stars and bells. The tree looked very beautiful. Sara and Ben clapped their hands and smiled. + +"Wow, you did a great job, Sara and Ben!" uncle Tom said. "The tree is very beautiful. You are very good helpers. Do you know why we decorate the tree?" + +Sara and Ben shook their heads. They wanted to know. + +Uncle Tom sat down with them and gave them some cookies and milk. He said, "We decorate the tree to celebrate a special day. It is called Christmas. On Christmas, we remember that God gave us a very special gift. He gave us his son, Jesus, who was born in a stable. Jesus loves us very much and he wants us to love each other. That is why we give gifts to each other and share our joy. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They understood. They said, "Thank you, uncle Tom, for telling us. Thank you, God, for giving us Jesus. Thank you, Jesus, for loving us. We love you, too. And we love uncle Tom and each other." + +Uncle Tom hugged them and said, "I love you, too, Sara and Ben.

You should be friends." + +Lily and Max felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were silly. We wanted to make a picture for you. But we fought over the spot. We did not share. We did not be nice. We did not be friends." + +Their mom hugged them. She said, "It's okay, Lily and Max. I love you both. But you should not fight. You should work together. You can make a beautiful picture if you use different colors and shapes. You can be friends." + +Lily and Max nodded. They said, "We love you, mom. We will not fight. We will work together. We will use different colors and shapes. We will be friends." + +They picked up the paper, the crayons, and the mess. They found a new spot. They started to draw again. Lily drew a heart with red and pink. Max drew a star with blue and purple. They drew other things with other colors. They made a beautiful picture. They were happy. They were friends.

You are wonderful friends." +Tommy liked to wear his vest. It was blue and had a big star on it. He felt like a superhero when he wore it. He wore it every day, even when it was hot or cold. + +One day, his mom said, "Tommy, you need to take off your vest. It is too warm today. You will be sweaty and itchy." + +Tommy did not want to take off his vest. He said, "No, mom, I want to wear my vest. It is my favorite. It makes me strong and brave." + +His mom said, "I know, Tommy, but you can wear your vest another day. Today, you need to wear a T-shirt. It is cooler and softer. You can still be strong and brave without your vest." + +Tommy did not like this idea. He said, "But mom, I need my vest. It is not fair. You always wear your necklace. It is shiny and pretty. Can I wear your necklace instead?" + +His mom smiled and said, "No, Tommy, you cannot wear my necklace. It is not for you. It is for me. It is a special gift from your dad. He gave it to me when you were born. It reminds me of you and him." + +Tommy thought this was weird. He said, "Why do you need a necklace to remind you of us? We are always with you. You can see us and hug us and talk to us. You do not need a necklace for that." + +His mom said, "You are right, Tommy. I do not need a necklace for that. But I like to wear it because it makes me happy. It is like your vest. You like to wear it because it makes you happy. But sometimes, you have to wear something else. It is good to try new things. You might like them too." + +Tommy thought about this. He said, "Okay, mom, I will try a T-shirt. But can I still wear my vest tomorrow?" + +His mom said, "Yes, Tommy, you can wear your vest tomorrow. I will allow you to wear it if you want. But today, you have to wear a T-shirt. Come on, let's go and find one." + +Tommy and his mom went to his room and looked for a T-shirt. Tommy found one that was green and had a dinosaur on it. He liked dinosaurs.

You look like a dinosaur hunter." + +Tommy smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you." + +His mom said, "I love you too, Tommy. Now, let's go and have some fun." +Lily wanted to own a fairy costume for the party. She saw one in the shop with pink wings and a shiny dress. She asked her mom to buy it for her. + +"Mom, can I have this fairy costume? It is so pretty!" Lily said. + +Mom looked at the price tag. It was very expensive. She shook her head. + +"Sorry, Lily, we cannot buy this costume. It is too much money. We can make one at home with some old clothes and paper," Mom said. + +Lily felt sad. She really liked the fairy costume. She did not want to make one at home. She started to cry. + +"Mom, please, please, please! I want this costume! I need this costume!" Lily shouted. + +Mom frowned. She did not like Lily's behavior. She thought Lily was being rude. + +"Lily, stop crying and shouting. You are being rude. You should be grateful for what you have. We are not buying this costume. Come on, let's go home," Mom said. + +Lily did not listen. She threw a tantrum. She kicked and screamed. She did not want to leave the shop. She wanted the fairy costume. + +A lady who worked in the shop came over. She looked angry. + +"Excuse me, what is going on here? This is a shop, not a playground. You are disturbing the other customers. Please take your child and leave," the lady said. + +Mom felt embarrassed. She apologized to the lady. She picked up Lily and carried her out of the shop. Lily still cried and shouted. + +Mom was very disappointed in Lily. She did not say anything to her until they got home. She put Lily in her room and told her to stay there until she calmed down. + +Lily felt sorry. She realized she had been rude. She wished she had listened to her mom. She did not need the fairy costume. She had other things to be happy about. She decided to say sorry to her mom and to make a fairy costume with her. She hoped her mom would forgive her. +Anna likes to dance. She is a dancer. She dances with her friends at school. They play music and move their feet and arms. They have fun. + +One day, Anna and her friends dance outside. They see many leaves on the ground. The leaves are red and yellow and brown. They are pretty.

She laughs and falls on the grass. She sees the sky and the clouds. She feels happy. She likes to dance with the leaves. She is a dancer. +Ben and Lily liked to act like they were animals. They crawled on the floor and made noises. They pretended to be lions, bears, rabbits, and birds. They had fun playing in their room. + +One day, they saw a big hole in the backyard. They wondered what was inside. They decided to act like they were moles and dig underground. They took a shovel and a flashlight and went to the hole. + +They dug and dug and dug. They saw worms, rocks, and roots. They thought it was exciting. They did not see how deep they were going. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. + +The hole became very dark and cold.

She wanted to join them, but they were very noisy. They shouted and laughed and ran around. Lily thought they were rude and not princess-like. + +She walked up to them and said, "Stop being so noisy! You are not princesses. You are dirty and loud. I am a princess. Look at my dress. It is beautiful and clean. You should be quiet and nice like me." + +The other kids looked at Lily and felt angry and sad. They did not like her words. They did not care about her dress. They liked to have fun and be themselves. They said, "Go away, Lily! You are not a princess. You are mean and bossy. We do not want to play with you. You should be friendly and kind like us." + +Lily felt hurt and lonely. She did not understand why the other kids did not like her. She ran back to her mom and dad and cried. They hugged her and asked her what happened. She told them what she said and what the other kids said. + +Her mom and dad looked at each other and sighed. They knew Lily loved her princess dress, but they also wanted her to learn how to get along with others. They said, "Lily, we are sorry you are upset, but we think you made a mistake. Your princess dress is not what makes you a princess. It is your heart and your actions. Being a princess means being respectful and caring, not rude and selfish. Being a princess means sharing and helping, not judging and hurting. Being a princess means being happy and grateful, not proud and greedy. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She felt sorry for what she said and did. She realized she was not acting like a princess at all. She said, "I understand, mom and dad. I was wrong. I want to be a good princess. Can I say sorry to the other kids and play with them?" + +Her mom and dad smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. That is a very princess-like thing to do. We are proud of you. But first, maybe you should change your dress. It might get dirty or torn in the park. How about you wear something more comfortable and practical?" + +Lily agreed and changed her dress. She put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. She still felt like a princess, but a different kind. A kind that was friendly and kind. She ran back to the park and found the other kids. She said, "Hi, I am Lily. I am sorry for what I said before. I was not nice. Can I play with you?" + +The other kids were surprised and happy. They said, "Hi, Lily. We are sorry too. We were not polite. Of course you can play with us. What do you want to do?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I want to do what you do. I want to have fun and be myself." + +They all laughed and played together. They swung and slid and ran around. They were noisy, but in a good way. They were happy and free. They were not princesses or princes. They were just kids. And they were friends. +Lily and Tom were playing with their dolls in the living room. They liked to pretend that their dolls were their babies and they had to take care of them. Lily had a pink doll with curly hair and Tom had a blue doll with a hat. + +"Let's go to the park with our babies," Lily suggested. "We can push them in the stroller and have a picnic." + +"OK," Tom agreed. "But we have to dress them warm. It is cold outside." + +They put on their coats and scarves and packed some snacks and juice in a bag. They put their dolls in the stroller and went outside. The sun was shining but the wind was blowing. They walked to the park and found a nice spot under a tree. + +They took out their dolls and laid them on a blanket. They gave them some juice and cookies and sang them a song. They were having fun until Tom noticed something. + +"Lily, look at your baby's ear," he said. "It is red and swollen. I think she has an earache." + +Lily looked at her doll's ear and felt sorry for her. She touched it gently and said, "Oh, poor baby. You must be very uncomfortable. I'm sorry I didn't notice before." + +She hugged her doll and kissed her ear. She said, "Don't worry, baby. We will go home and give you some medicine. You will feel better soon." + +She looked at Tom and said, "Thank you for telling me, Tom. You are a good friend." + +Tom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a good mommy." + +They packed their things and put their dolls back in the stroller. They walked home, holding hands. They were happy that they had each other and their babies. +Tom and Lily wanted to watch a film. They liked films with animals and songs. They asked Mom to put a film on the big screen. Mom said yes, but first they had to clean their room. Tom and Lily did not like to clean. They wanted to watch the film now. + +They had an idea. They would hide their toys under the bed and in the closet. Then Mom would think their room was clean. They ran to their room and threw their toys everywhere. They did not see the ball on the floor. They did not hear Mom coming. + +Mom opened the door and saw the mess. She was angry. She said, "Tom and Lily, what did you do? This is not clean. This is naughty. You cannot watch the film now. You have to pick up your toys and say sorry." + +Tom and Lily felt sad. They said sorry to Mom. They started to pick up their toys. But Tom stepped on the ball and slipped. He hit his head on the bed. He felt dizzy. He cried. Lily ran to help him. She knelt next to him and hugged him. She said, "Tom, are you okay? I'm sorry. It was my idea." + +Mom heard the cry and came back. She saw Tom on the floor. She was scared. She said, "Tom, what happened? Are you hurt?" She picked him up and took him to the car. She said, "We have to go to the doctor. He will make you better." + +Lily stayed in the room. She felt bad. She wished they had cleaned their room. She wished they had not lied to Mom. She wished they had watched the film. She cried. She was alone. +Tom and Sue were very happy. They were going on a safari with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see many animals and take pictures. They packed their bags and got in the car. + +"Are you ready for an adventure?" Dad asked. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Tom and Sue said. + +They drove for a long time. They saw trees and hills and fields. They sang songs and played games. They were very excited. + +They arrived at the safari park. They got out of the car and followed a guide. He told them to mind the rules and stay close. He said there were many colorful animals to see, but some were also dangerous. + +They saw lions and zebras and giraffes. They saw monkeys and elephants and crocodiles. They saw birds and snakes and bugs. They took pictures and learned new things. They had a lot of fun. + +But Tom was curious. He saw a big red truck parked near a fence. He wanted to see what was inside. He sneaked away from the group and ran to the truck. He opened the door and climbed in. + +He saw a lot of buttons and levers and wires. He wondered what they did. He pushed and pulled and twisted them. He heard noises and lights and sirens. He thought it was a game. + +But it was not a game. It was a trap. The truck was a bait for a hungry tiger. The tiger heard the noise and smelled the food. It ran to the truck and jumped on it. It roared and scratched and bit. + +Tom was scared. He screamed and cried and wished he had minded the rules. He wished he had stayed with Mom and Dad and Sue. He wished he had not been so curious. + +Sue heard Tom's scream. She saw the tiger and the truck. She ran to help him. She grabbed a stick and threw it at the tiger. She shouted and waved and made faces. + +The tiger was surprised. It stopped attacking the truck and looked at Sue. It was confused and angry and hungry. It decided to chase Sue instead. + +Sue was brave. She ran away from the tiger and led it to the fence. She climbed over the fence and waited. She hoped Tom was okay. + +The guide heard the commotion. He saw the tiger and the truck and the fence. He grabbed a gun and ran to the scene. He shot the tiger with a dart and made it sleep. He saved Tom and Sue. + +Mom and Dad were relieved. They hugged Tom and Sue and thanked the guide. They scolded Tom for being naughty and praised Sue for being smart. They said they were sorry for the tiger and hoped it would be fine. + +Tom and Sue were sorry too. They learned their lesson. They said they would mind the rules and not be curious. They said they still liked the safari and the colorful animals. They said they loved Mom and Dad and each other. They smiled and kissed and hugged. +Tim and Mia liked to play in the garden. They ran and jumped and laughed. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They had fun. + +But there was one part of the garden they did not go to. It was behind the big fence. Mom and Dad said it was bad. They said there was a vine that could hurt them. They said never to touch it. + +One day, Tim and Mia were playing near the fence. They heard a noise. It sounded like a cat. They loved cats. They wanted to see it. + +"Let's go look," Tim said. + +"No, we can't," Mia said. "Mom and Dad said it's bad." + +"But maybe the cat is stuck," Tim said. "Maybe it needs help." + +He climbed over the fence. Mia followed him. She was scared. + +They saw the vine. It was long and green and had thorns. It moved like a snake. It hissed like a cat. + +"Tim, look out!" Mia shouted. + +But it was too late. The vine touched Tim. It wrapped around him. It made him cry. + +"Help! Help!" Tim screamed. + +Mia ran back to the fence. She called Mom and Dad. They came fast. They saw Tim and the vine. They were angry and scared. + +They got a big stick. They hit the vine. They freed Tim. They hugged him. They checked him. He had many cuts and scratches. He was bleeding. + +They took him inside. They cleaned him. They put bandages on him. They gave him a hug and a kiss. They said they loved him. + +They also said he was in trouble. They said he should not have gone to the bad part of the garden. They said he should not have touched the vine. They said he should have listened to them. + +Tim was sorry. He said he was sorry. He said he learned his lesson. He said he would never do it again. + +Mia was sorry too. She said she was sorry. She said she was glad Tim was okay. She said she would never follow him again. + +They both said they loved Mom and Dad. They said they would be good. + +Mom and Dad said they loved Tim and Mia. They said they were proud of them. They said they would be careful. + +They all hugged. They all smiled. They all learned. +Lila and Tom were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big sack full of balls, dolls, cars and books. They liked to take out the toys and share them with each other. + +But then, a rude boy came and grabbed the sack. He ran away with it, laughing. He did not ask if he could play with them. He did not say please or thank you. He was very mean. + +Lila and Tom were sad and angry. They wanted their toys back. They chased after the rude boy, shouting. "Stop! Give us our sack! That is ours!" + +The rude boy did not stop. He ran faster and faster. He thought he was clever and strong. But he did not see the big rock in his way. He tripped over it and fell down. The sack flew out of his hands and landed on the ground. + +Lila and Tom caught up with him. They picked up their sack and hugged it. They were happy to have their toys again. They looked at the rude boy, who was crying and rubbing his knee. He had hurt himself. + +Lila and Tom felt sorry for him. They were kind and gentle. They asked him if he was okay. They offered him a band-aid and a toy. They invited him to play with them. + +The rude boy was surprised and ashamed. He realized he had been wrong. He said he was sorry. He said he wanted to be their friend. He said he would never take their sack again. + +Lila and Tom smiled and nodded. They forgave him. They gave him a toy and a band-aid. They played with him and the sack. They had fun together. They were happy. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bag of oats on a bench. The oats are colorful and shiny. Sara and Tom want to eat the oats. + +"Look, Tom, oats!" Sara says. "They are so pretty. Can we have some?" + +"I don't know, Sara," Tom says. "Maybe they belong to someone. Maybe they are not for us." + +But Sara does not listen. She grabs a handful of oats and puts them in her mouth. They are sweet and crunchy. She likes them a lot. + +"Yum, yum, yum," Sara says. "These oats are so good. You should try some, Tom." + +But Tom shakes his head. He does not want to take the oats. He thinks it is wrong. + +"No, Sara, I don't want to," Tom says. "We should not take what is not ours. It is not nice. It is not fair." + +But Sara does not care. She takes another handful of oats and throws them in the air. She laughs and claps her hands. She thinks it is fun. + +"Look, Tom, look!" Sara says. "The oats are like rainbows. They are so fun. You should throw some, too." + +But Tom does not want to. He thinks it is wasteful. He thinks it is messy. + +"No, Sara, I don't want to," Tom says. "We should not waste food. It is not good. It is not smart." + +But Sara does not listen. She takes more oats and throws them at Tom. She thinks it is funny. She does not see the angry man coming. + +"Hey, you kids, stop that!" the angry man says. "Those oats are mine. They are for the birds. You are ruining them. You are scaring the birds. You are bad." + +The angry man grabs the bag of oats and scolds Sara and Tom. He tells them to go away. He tells them to never come back. He tells them to be sorry. + +Sara and Tom are scared. They run away. They feel bad. They wish they had not taken the oats. They wish they had not thrown the oats. They wish they had listened to Tom. + +They learn a lesson. They learn to respect other people's things. They learn to not waste food. They learn to not be greedy. They learn to be good. +Tom and Lily are playing pirates in the garden. They have a big box that is their ship, and a stick that is their sword. They pretend to sail on the sea and look for treasure. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Tom says. "Do you see that island over there? It has a big X on it. That means there is treasure buried there. Let's go and dig it up!" + +"Okay, captain!" Lily says. She follows Tom to the island, which is really a pile of sand. They use their hands and a shovel to dig a hole in the sand. + +"Look, look!" Tom shouts. "I found something shiny. It's a hook! Maybe it belonged to a real pirate who lost his hand. How cool is that?" + +"Wow, let me see!" Lily says. She takes the hook from Tom and holds it in her hand. It is metal and shiny, but also rusty and dry. She tries to put it on her hand, but it is too big and falls off. + +"Hey, be careful!" Tom says. "That hook is mine. I found it first. Give it back!" + +"No, it's mine!" Lily says. "I want to play with it. It's fun to twist it and make noises. See? Clang, clang, clang!" + +Tom and Lily start to fight over the hook. They pull and tug and shout at each other. They are so busy fighting that they don't notice a big shadow coming over them. It is their mom, who has been watching them from the window. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" she says. "Why are you fighting over a hook? That's not nice. You should share and play together. And where did you get that hook anyway? It looks dirty and dangerous. You could hurt yourself with it." + +Tom and Lily stop fighting and look at their mom. They feel ashamed and sorry. They drop the hook and hug each other. + +"Sorry, mom," Tom says. "Sorry, Lily. I was being greedy. You can have the hook if you want." + +"Sorry, mom," Lily says. "Sorry, Tom. I was being mean. You can have the hook if you want." + +Mom smiles and picks up the hook. She puts it in a bag and says, "How about we put this hook away for now and go inside for some juice and cookies? And maybe later we can read a book about pirates and learn more about their adventures. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Lily nod and smile. They hold hands and follow mom inside. They are happy to be friends again and to have a mom who loves them. They forget about the hook and the treasure and enjoy their snack and their story. +Lily was a new girl in the big house. She liked her room, but she felt lonely. She wished she had a friend to play with. One night, she heard a noise under her bed. She was scared, but she was also curious. She looked under her bed and saw a white shape. + +"Hello," the shape said. "Who are you?" + +"I'm Lily," she said. "Who are you?" + +"I'm Max," the shape said. "I'm a ghost. I live here." + +Lily was surprised. She had never seen a ghost before. She wondered if he was nice or mean. + +"Are you a good ghost or a bad ghost?" she asked. + +"I'm a good ghost," Max said. "I don't hurt anyone. I just like to have fun. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She realized that Max was lonely too. He was different, but he was friendly. She decided to give him a chance. + +"Okay," she said. "I'll be your friend. What do you like to do?" + +Max smiled. He was happy to have a new friend. He said, "I like to fly, and sing, and tell stories. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nodded. She was excited to try new things. She said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun." + +Max took her hand and lifted her up. They flew out of the window and into the night. They sang and told stories and laughed. Lily had the best time of her life. She was glad she met Max. She was not lonely anymore. She had a new friend. A ghost friend. +Tom and Jen were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide, and a sandbox. They also had a big dog named Rex who liked to run and bark. + +One day, their mom told them to take a nap after lunch. She said they were going out later and they needed to rest. Tom and Jen did not want to nap. They wanted to play more. They told their mom they were not sleepy and they ran outside. + +Their mom was busy in the kitchen and did not see them. She thought they were in their room. She did not hear Rex barking because the window was closed. + +Tom and Jen saw a big billboard across the street. It had bright colors and funny pictures. They wanted to see it better. They did not look for cars or trucks. They did not listen to Rex who was trying to stop them. They ran across the street. + +A big truck was coming fast. It was very noisy. It honked its horn. Tom and Jen did not hear it. They did not see it. The truck hit them. They flew in the air. They landed on the ground. They did not move. They did not breathe. + +Rex ran to them. He licked their faces. He whined. He did not understand. He waited for them to wake up. They did not wake up. + +Their mom heard the noise. She looked out the window. She saw the truck. She saw the billboard. She saw Rex. She saw Tom and Jen. She screamed. She ran outside. She was too late. + +The moral of the story is: Always listen to your mom. She knows what is best for you. Naps are good. Streets are bad. Trucks are dangerous. Billboards are not worth it. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in Lily's room. Lily's room is colorful. She has many toys and books and pictures on the wall. + +One day, Lily and Tom find a big box of markers in Lily's room. They are happy. They want to make more pictures. They take the markers and start to mark on the paper. + +"Look, Tom, I mark a flower. It is pink and yellow and green. Do you like it?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, Lily, I like it. It is pretty. I mark a car. It is blue and red and black. Do you like it?" Tom answers. + +"Yes, Tom, I like it. It is cool. Can we mark on the wall, too?" Lily wonders. + +"No, Lily, we cannot mark on the wall. That is bad. Mommy and Daddy will be angry. We only mark on the paper. OK?" Tom says. + +"OK, Tom, you are right. We only mark on the paper. We can make many pictures and show them to Mommy and Daddy. They will be happy. Come on, let's mark more!" Lily agrees. + +Lily and Tom mark more pictures on the paper. They have fun. They make a colorful mess. They are proud of their pictures. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to be pirates and look for treasure. They put on hats and scarves and grabbed a map that their dad had drawn for them. + +"Arrr, matey, where do we go?" Tom asked, holding the map. + +"Follow me, captain, I know the way!" Lily said, leading him to the backyard. "We have to cross the bridge, climb the hill, and dig under the palm tree." + +They ran across the wooden bridge, pretending it was a stormy sea. They climbed the small hill, pretending it was a mountain. They reached the palm tree, where their dad had buried a box with some goodies. + +"Look, captain, we found it!" Lily shouted, digging with a shovel. "Let's open it and see what's inside!" + +They opened the box and saw some chocolate coins, some stickers, and a banana. + +"Wow, what a great treasure!" Tom said, picking up a coin. "Can I have one?" + +"Sure, matey, but be careful, they are spicy!" Lily said, joking. + +"Spicy? How can chocolate be spicy?" Tom asked, biting the coin. + +He made a funny face and spit it out. It was not chocolate, it was chili pepper! + +"Ha ha, got you!" Lily laughed, holding the banana. "This is the real treasure, a yummy banana!" + +Tom was not happy. He felt his mouth burning and his eyes watering. + +"That's not fair, Lily, you tricked me!" he said, grabbing the banana. "Give it to me, I need something sweet!" + +"No, it's mine, I found it!" Lily said, pulling the banana. "You can have the stickers!" + +They started to fight over the banana, tugging and shouting. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was going on. + +"What are you two doing?" she asked, seeing the mess. "Why are you fighting over a banana?" + +"We are pirates, mom, and this is our treasure!" Tom and Lily said, still holding the banana. + +"Well, pirates should learn to share and be nice to each other," mom said, taking the banana. "How about we split the banana in half and you each get a piece?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and nodded. They were sorry for being mean to each other. + +"OK, mom, that sounds good," they said, letting go of the banana. + +Mom peeled the banana and broke it in half. She gave one half to Tom and one half to Lily. + +"There you go, enjoy your treasure," she said, smiling. "And next time, don't believe everything your sister tells you, Tom. Chocolate is not spicy!" + +Tom and Lily smiled and thanked their mom. They ate their banana and felt better. They decided to play something else, something that did not involve spicy coins. They still liked to pretend, but they also liked to be friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big knife on the table. It was shiny and sharp. + +"Look, a knife!" Ben said. "I want to touch it." + +"No, Ben, don't touch it!" Lily said. "It can hurt you. Mommy said knives are not for kids." + +But Ben did not listen. He reached for the knife. Lily tried to stop him. She pushed him away. + +"Ow!" Ben cried. "Why did you push me? That was mean!" + +Lily was scared. She did not want to be mean. She wanted to keep Ben safe. + +"I pushed you because I love you," Lily said. "The knife is dangerous. It can cut you and make you bleed. It can make you sick. It is bitter, like a lemon. You don't want to taste it, do you?" + +Ben thought about it. He did not like lemons. They made his mouth twist. He did not want to taste the knife. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "You are right. The knife is not for kids. It is for Mommy and Daddy. They use it to make food for us. Thank you for pushing me. You are a good sister." + +Lily smiled. She hugged Ben. They went to play with their toys. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes we have to push someone away to protect them from harm. We should listen to our elders who know what is best for us. We should not play with things that are not for kids. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. They had many toys and costumes in their room, but they always kept them organized. They had a box for animals, a box for cars, a box for dolls, and a box for hats. They knew where to find everything they needed for their games. + +One day, they decided to play firefighters. They put on their hats and jackets and grabbed their hoses. They ran around the room, pretending to put out fires and rescue people. They made noises like sirens and water. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they smelled something bad. It was smoke. They looked out the window and saw that their neighbor's house was on fire. They saw real firefighters and trucks coming to help. They were scared and worried. + +They ran to their mom and dad, who were in the kitchen. They told them what they saw and asked if they could help. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were very brave, but they had to stay inside and let the firefighters do their job. They said the firefighters were trained and organized and knew how to stop the fire. They said they had to believe that everything would be okay. + +Lila and Ben nodded and went back to their room. They put away their toys and costumes and sat on their bed. They watched the firefighters work hard and hoped their neighbor was safe. They held hands and said a prayer. They believed that everything would be okay. +Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with a picture of an elephant on it. They ran to the truck and asked the man inside if they could see the elephant. + +"Sorry, kids, the elephant is not here. He is very sick and needs to go to the zoo," the man said. + +Tom and Anna felt sad. They loved elephants and wanted to see one. They asked the man if the elephant would get better. + +"I don't know, kids. He is very old and has a lot of pain. Maybe he will, maybe he won't," the man said. + +Tom and Anna decided to pray for the elephant. They closed their eyes and said, "Please, God, make the elephant better. He is lovely and we want to see him. Please, God, help the elephant." + +The next day, Tom and Anna went to the park again. They hoped to see the truck with the elephant. But the truck was not there. Instead, they saw a big sign that said, "The elephant has died. Thank you for your prayers and support." + +Tom and Anna cried. They felt very sad and angry. They wished they could have seen the elephant and hugged him. They wondered why God did not answer their prayers. They did not want to play anymore. They went home and told their parents what happened. Their parents hugged them and said they were sorry. But Tom and Anna still felt sad. They missed the elephant. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. They have a big tent in the garden. They want to sleep in the tent tonight. + +"Can we sleep in the tent, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, you can. But you have to pay me first," Mom says. + +"How do we pay you, Mom?" Tom asks. + +"You have to help me with the dishes and the laundry. Then you can sleep in the tent," Mom says. + +Lily and Tom nod. They help Mom with the dishes and the laundry. They are good helpers. Mom is happy. + +"Thank you, Lily and Tom. You can go to the tent now. But don't stay up too late," Mom says. + +Lily and Tom run to the tent. They have their pillows and blankets. They have a flashlight and a book. They are excited. + +They read the book together. They see pictures of animals and plants. They learn new words. They have fun. + +They turn off the flashlight. They close their eyes. They are sleepy. + +They wake up early. They see the sunrise. The sky is pink and orange. The sun is bright and warm. They smile. + +"Wow, look at the sunrise. It's so pretty," Lily says. + +"Yes, it is. We are lucky to see it," Tom says. + +They hug each other. They are happy. + +They go out of the tent. They see Mom. She has made breakfast. She has pancakes and juice. They are yummy. + +"Good morning, Lily and Tom. Did you sleep well in the tent?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, we did. We saw the sunrise. It was easy to wake up," Lily says. + +"That's great. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now, come and eat your breakfast. You need energy for the day," Mom says. + +Lily and Tom eat their breakfast. They thank Mom. They are ready to play again. They have a big day ahead. +Tom and Anna liked to play with their colorful toys. They had cars, dolls, blocks, and animals. They also had a big file with many papers. The papers had pictures and words on them. Tom and Anna liked to look at the papers and pretend they were reading. + +One day, Tom and Anna were playing with their toys and the file. They put some papers on the floor and some on the table. They made a game of matching the papers with the toys. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +But then, something strange happened. One of the papers on the floor vanished. Tom and Anna did not see it. They looked under the table, behind the sofa, and in the trash. They could not find it. They were puzzled and sad. + +They asked their mom if she saw the paper. Mom said no, she did not see it. She said maybe the paper flew away with the wind. She said they should close the window and be careful with their papers. + +Tom and Anna closed the window and checked their papers. They counted them and put them back in the file. They hoped the paper would come back. They wondered where it went. They did not know that a little mouse had taken it to its nest. The mouse liked the paper because it was colorful and soft. The mouse was happy and cozy. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. Today, they find a big motorcycle in the garage. It is red and shiny. Lily and Sam want to ride it. + +"Can we ride the motorcycle?" Lily asks Sam. + +"I don't know. It is not ours. It is Dad's," Sam says. + +"Maybe Dad will let us. Let's ask him," Lily says. + +They run to the house and find Dad. He is in the kitchen. He is making a sandwich. + +"Dad, Dad, can we ride the motorcycle?" Lily and Sam say. + +Dad looks at them and smiles. He knows they like the motorcycle. + +"Sure, you can ride the motorcycle. But only in the driveway. And you have to wear helmets and jackets. It is cold outside," Dad says. + +He gives them helmets and jackets. They are warm and fuzzy. Lily and Sam put them on. They say thank you to Dad. They run back to the garage. They climb on the motorcycle. Lily sits in front. Sam sits behind. They hold on tight. + +Dad comes to the garage. He starts the motorcycle. It makes a loud noise. Lily and Sam giggle. They feel the motorcycle move. Dad pushes a button. The motorcycle zips forward. Lily and Sam scream with joy. They zip up and down the driveway. They feel the wind in their faces. They have fun. They love the motorcycle. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, they found a big map on the wall. The map had many colors and shapes. Tom pointed at a red shape and said, "This is my nation. It is the best nation in the world." + +Sam looked at the map and saw a blue shape next to the red one. He said, "No, this is my nation. It is the best nation in the world. Your nation is bad and small." + +Tom and Sam started to argue. They both wanted to touch their nation on the map. They pushed and pulled each other. They did not listen to each other. They did not share. + +The map was old and thin. It could not hold Tom and Sam's weight. It ripped and fell off the wall. The colors and shapes were gone. Tom and Sam looked at the map and cried. They had broken the map. They had no nation. + +The teacher heard the noise and came to the room. She saw the map on the floor and the boys crying. She was very angry. She said, "What have you done? You have ruined the map. You have been bad and selfish. You have to go to the corner and think about what you did. You have no friends." +One day, a girl named Sue put on her pretty skirt. She wanted to go to the park to play. She felt happy and powerful in her skirt. + +Sue went to the park and saw her friend, Tom. Tom liked Sue's skirt and said it looked nice. They played catch and had fun together. + +As they played, the sun began to set. Sue and Tom knew it was time to go home. They said goodbye and went back to their houses. Sue felt powerful and happy in her skirt all day. +Once upon a time, there was a little plant. The plant lived in a big garden. The plant was very mild and kind to all the bugs and birds that came to visit. + +One day, a little girl named Sue came to the garden. Sue saw the plant and said, "I want to help you grow big and strong." So, Sue let the plant have some water. The plant was very happy and started to grow. + +As the days went by, Sue came to visit the plant every day. She let the plant have more water and even gave it some sun. The plant grew bigger and bigger. All the bugs and birds came to see the big, strong plant. They were all very happy and played in the garden all day long. +One day, a little girl named Lucy went to her room. She saw a big bookcase full of books. Lucy wanted to find a fun book to read. She looked at the books and saw one with a scary monster on it. The monster had big eyes and sharp teeth. Lucy felt a little scared, but she wanted to be brave. + +Lucy took the scary book and opened it. She saw a picture of the monster and said, "You don't scare me, Mr. Monster!" But then, the monster jumped out of the book and into her room! Lucy started to panic. She didn't know what to do. + +Lucy's mom heard her cry and came into the room. She saw the monster and said, "Don't be scared, Lucy. This monster is not real. It's just a drawing in the book." Lucy's mom helped her put the monster back into the book and closed it. Lucy felt better and said, "Thank you, Mommy. I won't be scared of the monster anymore." +Once upon a time, there was a little bug named Ben. Ben loved to crawl on the ground and play with his friends. One day, a thick fog came to the forest. Ben could not see his friends anymore. + +Ben called out, "Friends, where are you?" His friend, Sam the snail, heard him and crawled to Ben. "I am here, Ben. Let's stay close so we don't get lost in the fog," said Sam. + +Together, they crawled through the fog, calling out to their friends. They found their friends one by one, and they all stayed close. The fog made it hard to see, but Ben and Sam were useful in finding everyone. When the fog went away, they were all happy to be together again. +Once upon a time, in a big garden, there was a little girl named Amy.

He said he was going to eat his peas, but he really gave them to his dinosaur. He made his dinosaur bite the peas and spit them out. He thought it was a funny game. His mom did not see what he was doing. She thought he was eating his peas. She said he was a good boy and gave him a slice of cake. + +Tommy was happy. He ate his cake and played with his dinosaur. He did not know that his dinosaur was not harmless. It was a toy, but it had a battery inside. The battery was old and leaking. The peas made the battery wet and sparky. The dinosaur started to smoke and sputter. Tommy did not notice. He was too busy eating his cake. + +Suddenly, the dinosaur burst into flames. It set the tablecloth on fire. The fire spread quickly. Tommy screamed. His mom ran to him and tried to put out the fire. She burned her hands. She grabbed Tommy and ran outside. The fire alarm went off. The firemen came. They put out the fire, but it was too late. The house was ruined. Tommy's toys were gone. His mom was hurt. Tommy was sad. He wished he had eaten his peas. He wished he had not played with his dinosaur. He wished he had listened to his mom. He learned a hard lesson. He never played with fire again. +Tim and Jen like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite ones are the soldiers. The soldiers are small and green and have guns and hats. Tim and Jen make the soldiers fight and run and hide. + +One day, Tim and Jen find a new toy in the yard. It is a big and furry toy. It has four legs and a long tail and sharp teeth. Tim and Jen think it is a dog, but it is not a dog. It is a wolf. The wolf is hungry and angry and wants to eat. + +Tim and Jen do not know the wolf is bad. They want to play with the wolf. They bring the wolf to their room and show it their soldiers. The wolf does not like the soldiers. The wolf thinks the soldiers are food. The wolf bites the soldiers and breaks them. Tim and Jen are sad and scared. + +Tim and Jen try to stop the wolf. They yell and hit and kick the wolf. The wolf does not care. The wolf is stronger and faster and meaner. The wolf bites Tim and Jen and hurts them. Tim and Jen cry and bleed and fall. + +The wolf eats Tim and Jen and the soldiers. The wolf is full and happy and sleeps. No one hears Tim and Jen and the soldiers. No one comes to help them. They are gone. The end. +Tom and Lily were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They looked at their books, but they did not want to read them. They looked at their mom, but she was busy on the phone. + +"Let's go outside," Tom said. + +"OK," Lily said. + +They put on their shoes and coats and opened the door. They saw a big park across the street. They saw swings and slides and a sandbox. They saw other kids running and laughing. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. + +"Let's go there!" Lily said. + +They ran across the street without looking. They did not see the car coming. They did not hear the horn. They did not feel the brakes. + +The car stopped just in time. The driver got out. He was angry. He had a red face and a loud voice. + +"What are you doing?" he yelled. "You could have been hurt! You could have hurt me! Where are your parents?" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know what to say. They looked at each other. They looked at the ground. They looked at the park. + +They wished they had not wandered away. They wished they had stayed home. They wished they had something to do. They wished they had not been bored. +Lily and Max are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going to the park to play. Lily is happy and sings a song. Max is bored and looks out the window. + +"Are we there yet?" Max asks. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to stop for gas first," Mom says. + +"What is gas?" Lily asks. + +"Gas is what makes the car go. We need to put more gas in the car so we can go to the park," Dad explains. + +"Oh, I see. How do you put gas in the car?" Lily asks. + +"Look, there is a gas station. I will show you," Dad says. He parks the car next to a big pump. He gets out and opens a small door on the car. He takes a long hose from the pump and puts it in the door. He pushes a button and the pump makes a noise. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Max says. He gets out of the car too and watches Dad. + +"Be careful, Max. Don't touch anything. Gas can be dangerous," Dad warns. + +"Why is gas dangerous?" Max asks. + +"Gas can catch fire or make you sick if you breathe it. That's why we have to be careful and follow the rules," Dad says. + +"I understand. I will be careful," Max says. + +Dad finishes putting gas in the car. He takes the hose out and puts it back in the pump. He closes the door on the car. He pays the man at the gas station. He gets back in the car. + +"Are we ready to go to the park now?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, we are. Everyone buckle up and get comfortable," Mom says. + +Lily and Max put on their seat belts. They sit back and smile. They are excited to go to the park.

She could draw animals, flowers, people and more. She liked to show her pictures to her family and friends. + +One day, Anna wanted to draw a big picture of her house. She took a big paper and her colors. She started to draw the walls, the windows, the door and the roof. She wanted to add some details, like the flowers in the garden, the swing in the yard and the cat on the porch. + +She looked for her green color to draw the grass. But she could not find it. She searched in her box, in her bag, in her drawers. She asked her mom, her dad, her brother. No one knew where her green color was. + +She felt sad. She could not finish her picture without green. She started to cry. She hugged her paper and squeezed it. She wished she had her green color. + +Then, she heard a knock on the door. She wiped her tears and went to see who it was. It was her friend Lily. Lily had a big smile and a small package in her hand. She said, "Hi, Anna. I have something for you. It is a gift. I hope you like it." + +Anna opened the package. Inside, there was a new green color. It was shiny and bright. Anna was so happy. She hugged Lily and thanked her. She said, "You are the best friend ever. How did you know I needed a green color?" + +Lily said, "I saw you drawing yesterday. You told me you wanted to draw your house. I noticed you did not have a green color. I thought you would like one. I went to the store and bought it for you. It is a special green. It can draw anything you want." + +Anna was amazed. She took the green color and ran to her place. She finished her picture of her house. She added the grass, the trees, the birds and more. She used the special green to draw whatever she imagined. She made a beautiful picture. She was proud of it. + +She showed it to Lily, her mom, her dad, her brother. They all liked it. They said, "Wow, Anna. You are gifted at drawing. You made a wonderful picture.

She is gifted at being kind." +Sam liked to draw with his crayons. He had many colors and he made pictures of his family, his friends and his toys. He was very proud of his drawings and he showed them to his teacher and his classmates. + +One day, he wanted to draw a big sun on the wall. He thought it would look nice and bright. He took his yellow crayon and started to mark on the wall. He made a big circle and many lines around it. He smiled and looked at his sun. + +But then, he heard a loud voice. It was his teacher. She was angry and she said, "Sam, what are you doing? You are not allowed to mark on the wall. That is very bad. You have to say sorry and clean it up." + +Sam felt scared and sad. He did not know he was doing something wrong. He looked at his teacher and saw that she was not smiling. He looked at his classmates and saw that they were staring at him. He felt embarrassed and he wanted to hide. He said, "Sorry, teacher. I just wanted to draw a sun. I did not mean to be bad." + +His teacher sighed and said, "I know, Sam. But you have to follow the rules. You can only draw on paper, not on the wall. The wall is not yours to mark on. It belongs to everyone. You have to respect it and keep it clean. Do you understand?" + +Sam nodded and said, "Yes, teacher. I understand. I will not mark on the wall again. I will only draw on paper. Can I please have a cloth to clean it up?" + +His teacher gave him a cloth and said, "Yes, you can. And next time, if you want to draw a sun, you can ask me for a big paper and I will help you. OK?" + +Sam said, "OK, teacher. Thank you." He took the cloth and started to wipe the wall. He felt sorry for marking on the wall and he hoped his teacher and his classmates would not be mad at him. He also hoped his sun would not be gone forever. He liked his sun and he wanted to keep it. Maybe he could draw it again on a big paper and hang it on his wall at home. He thought that would make him happy. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the lake. They had a kayak that their dad gave them. It was blue and yellow and had two seats. Lily and Max took turns to paddle the kayak and explore the water. + +One day, Lily wanted to paddle the kayak by herself. She said to Max, "I want to go alone. You stay here." Max was sad and angry.

She paddled away from the shore. + +Max ran to their mom and told her what Lily did. Mom was not happy. She said, "Lily, come back here. You have to behave. You have to be nice to your brother. You have to share the kayak." Lily heard mom and felt sorry. She realized she was selfish and mean. She paddled back to the shore and said, "I am sorry, Max. I was wrong. Do you want to paddle the kayak with me?" Max smiled and said, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Lily. I forgive you." They hugged and got into the kayak. They paddled together and had fun. Mom was proud of them. She said, "That is better. You are good twins. I love you both." +Sara loved to rock on her chair. She had a big chair with a soft pillow and a warm blanket.

She saw the hole in the rug, the scissors, and the children. She was not happy. She scolded Tom and Sara. "What are you doing? You should not cut the rug or fight with each other. You should be humble and kind. The rug was a gift from grandma. She made it with love and care. You should respect it and take care of it." + +She took the scissors from Tom and made him say sorry to Sara and to grandma. She hugged Sara and told her to calm down. She said they would try to fix the rug or get a new one. She said they should share and play nicely on the rug. She said they should go back to their chair and rock and sing together. Sara and Tom nodded and said yes. They felt sorry and ashamed. They hugged mom and each other. They went to the chair and rocked and sang. They felt happy and safe again. +Lila and Ben are friends.

She liked to mix things in a big bowl. One day, her mom was making a cake. She gave Jill some prunes to chop. Prunes are soft and sweet and good for you. + +Jill chopped the prunes with a knife. She was careful not to cut herself. She put the prunes in the bowl with the flour and the eggs and the sugar. She wanted to mix them all together. But she saw something else on the counter. It was a bottle of lemon juice. Jill liked lemon juice. It was sour and yellow and made her mouth water. + +Jill thought the cake would be better with lemon juice. She did not ask her mom. She poured some lemon juice in the bowl. She mixed it with the prunes and the other things. She smiled. She thought she was a good helper. + +Her mom put the cake in the oven. She did not see the lemon juice. She set the timer and waited. When the timer beeped, she took out the cake. She was surprised. The cake was pale and flat and smelled funny. She cut a slice and tasted it. She made a face. It was sour and bitter and not good at all. + +She asked Jill what she did. Jill told her about the lemon juice. She said she wanted to make the cake better. Her mom was not happy. She said lemon juice and prunes do not go well together. She said Jill should have asked her before adding something new.

And this is Mars, where there might be aliens," Anna said, pointing at the ball. + +"Wow, that's so cool, Anna. Can I spin it too?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. It's very delicate. It can break easily if you drop it or hit it," Anna warned. + +Ben nodded and took the ball. He spun it slowly and saw more stars and planets. He was amazed by the colors and shapes. He wanted to see more, so he spun it faster and faster. + +"Ben, stop! You're spinning it too fast! You'll break it!" Anna shouted. + +But Ben didn't listen. He was having too much fun. He spun it so fast that it flew out of his hands and hit the wall. The ball cracked and the pieces fell to the floor. + +"Ben, look what you did! You broke our toy! How could you?" Anna cried. + +Ben felt very sorry. He saw the broken ball and the sad face of his sister. He realized he had been very careless and selfish. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to break it. I just wanted to see more of the universe. I was too excited and forgot to be careful," Ben said. + +Anna sighed. She was angry, but she also loved her brother. She knew he didn't do it on purpose. + +"It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But you have to learn to use things gently and share them with others. The universe is beautiful, but it's also delicate. We have to respect it and take care of it," Anna said. + +Ben nodded. He hugged his sister and said, "Thank you, Anna. You're right. I'll be more careful and share next time. I love you." + +They picked up the pieces of the ball and put them in a box. They hoped their mom could fix it. They learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned to use things gently and share them with others. They learned to respect and take care of the universe. +Lily loved flowers. She liked to look at them, smell them, and touch them. She had a book with pictures of flowers. She liked to point at the pictures and say their names. + +One day, Lily saw a big flower in the garden. It was pink and white and had many petals. Lily wanted to pick the flower and put it in her book. She ran to the flower and pulled it hard. But the flower did not come out. It stayed in the ground. + +Lily was angry. She stomped on the flower and tore its petals. She made the flower look bad. She spoiled the flower. + +Mommy saw what Lily did. She was sad and angry too. She came to Lily and said, "Lily, why did you do that? That flower was beautiful. It was blooming. It was a gift from God. You should not hurt it. You should be gentle and kind to it." + +Lily felt sorry. She saw Mommy's face and the flower's face. They were both sad. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, flower. I wanted to have the flower in my book. I did not know it was blooming. I did not know it was a gift. I will not do it again." + +Mommy hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But you have to learn to respect nature. Flowers are alive. They need water and sun and love. They are not toys. They are not pictures. They are part of God's creation. You can enjoy them, but you cannot harm them." + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, Mommy. I love flowers. I love you. I love God. Can we plant a new flower for the one I spoiled?" + +Mommy smiled and said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go get some seeds and soil. Maybe we can find a flower that looks like the one in your book." +Tom and Mia were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. But they had to be careful, because sometimes there were sharks in the sea. Mom and dad told them to stay close and not wander too far. + +One day, Tom saw a big wave and wanted to ride it. He ran into the water and jumped on his board. He did not listen to mom and dad, who called him to come back. He wandered too far and got lost. He was scared and alone. + +Mia saw Tom disappear and was worried. She told mom and dad, who quickly got help. They looked for Tom with a boat and a helicopter. They hoped he was safe and not hurt by a shark. + +Tom saw a shadow under the water and felt a bump on his board. He looked down and saw a mighty shark. It had sharp teeth and a hungry look. It wanted to eat him. Tom screamed and tried to paddle away. He wished he had listened to mom and dad. + +Then he heard a voice from above. It was the helicopter. It had a rope and a basket. It lowered the basket and told Tom to get in. Tom grabbed the rope and climbed into the basket. The shark snapped at his feet, but missed. Tom was saved. + +Mom and dad hugged Tom and thanked the helicopter. They were happy and relieved. Tom was sorry and ashamed. He said he was sorry for wandering too far and not listening. He said he learned his lesson and would never do it again. Mom and dad forgave him and told him they loved him. They said he was brave and lucky, but he should always be careful and obey. Tom agreed and hugged them back. He was glad to be safe and with his family. He never wanted to see a shark again. +Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they heard a ring. It was the ice-cream truck. They ran to get some ice-cream. + +Tim had a coin. He gave it to the man and got a cone. Sam had no coin. He was sad. He asked Tim to share his cone. Tim said no. He said it was his cone and he was tough. He licked his cone and smiled. + +Sam was very sad. He cried. He wanted some ice-cream too. He saw a big dog. The dog was hungry. The dog saw Tim's cone. The dog ran to Tim and bit his cone. Tim screamed. He dropped his cone and ran away. The dog ate his cone and licked his lips. + +Sam stopped crying. He laughed. He said Tim was not tough. He said Tim was silly. He said he was glad the dog ate his cone. He said he did not want to be friends with Tim anymore. He walked away. + +Tim was alone. He had no cone. He had no friend. He had a sore hand. He was very sad. He wished he had shared his cone with Sam. He wished he had been nice. He wished he had not been tough. He learned a hard lesson. +Lily likes to write stories. She has a big book and a red pen. She writes about animals and people and places. She writes every day after school. + +One day, she writes about a kangaroo. She writes: "The kangaroo is flexible. He can jump very high and far. He has a pouch to carry his baby. He lives in a land with many trees and grass." + +She shows her story to her mom. Her mom smiles and says: "That is a very good story, Lily. You know a lot about kangaroos. Where did you learn that?" + +Lily says: "I learned it from a book. The book has many pictures of animals. Can we go to the zoo and see a real kangaroo?" + +Her mom says: "Yes, we can. Maybe next weekend. I think you will like the zoo. There are many animals to see and learn about." + +Lily is happy. She hugs her mom and says: "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you and I love to write." +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir things in a big bowl with a wooden spoon. She liked to smell the mint that grew in a pot on the window. She liked to see the busy bees flying around the flowers outside. + +One day, mom said they would make a cake for dad's birthday. Lily was very happy. She helped mom measure the flour, the sugar, the eggs and the butter. She helped mom stir them all together in the big bowl. She helped mom add some mint leaves to make the cake smell nice. + +Mom poured the batter into a cake pan and put it in the oven. Lily watched the cake rise and turn golden. She could smell the mint and the butter. She was very proud of her cake. She helped mom make some frosting with cream cheese and honey. She helped mom stir it until it was smooth and creamy. + +Mom took the cake out of the oven and let it cool. She spread the frosting on top and sprinkled some more mint leaves. She put some candles on the cake and wrote "Happy Birthday Dad" with a tube of chocolate. Lily clapped her hands and smiled. She couldn't wait to surprise dad with their cake. She hoped he would like it. She knew she did. +Tom and Anna liked to play near the creek. They saw fish and frogs and rocks. Sometimes they threw sticks and stones in the water. They had fun. + +One day, they found a big paper in the grass. It had many colors and shapes on it. Tom said, "Look, Anna, this is a map. It shows us where to find treasure." Anna said, "Wow, Tom, let's follow it. Maybe we can find gold or jewels." + +They looked at the paper and saw a red X. They walked along the creek, looking for the X. They passed a big tree, a bridge, and a hill. They did not see the X. They got tired and hungry. + +They stopped to rest under a bush. Tom said, "Maybe the map is wrong. Maybe there is no treasure." Anna said, "No, Tom, we have to keep looking. The map is important. It is a clue." + +Tom was angry. He said, "No, Anna, the map is not important. It is just a paper. It is not real. It is a lie." He grabbed the paper and tore it in half. He threw the pieces in the creek. + +Anna was sad. She said, "Tom, why did you do that? You ruined the map. You ruined our adventure. You are mean." She cried. + +Tom felt sorry. He said, "Anna, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should not have torn the paper. I should not have been mean. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna looked at Tom. She saw that he was sorry. She said, "Tom, I forgive you. But we have to find the pieces of the paper. Maybe we can still find the treasure." + +They ran to the creek. They saw the pieces of the paper floating in the water. They tried to catch them. They got wet and muddy. They laughed. + +They put the pieces of the paper together. They saw the red X. It was near the bush where they rested. They dug under the bush. They found a box. They opened the box. They saw candy and toys. They smiled. + +They said, "We found the treasure. We are happy. We are friends." They hugged. They ate the candy and played with the toys. They had fun. +Anna and Ben are playing with water in the bathroom. They splash and laugh and have fun. But they make a big mess. Water is everywhere. On the floor, on the walls, on the ceiling. + +Mom comes in and sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "What are you doing? You are not supposed to play with water in the bathroom. Look at the ceiling. It is wet. It can break. You have to dry it now. And the floor and the walls too. And no more water games." + +Anna and Ben are scared. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We just wanted to play. We will dry the ceiling and the floor and the walls. Please do not be mad." + +Mom is still angry, but she sees that they are sorry. She says, "Okay, I will help you dry the ceiling. But you have to be careful. Water can be dangerous. It can hurt you and the house. Next time, play with water outside or in the tub. And ask me first." + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We will. Thank you for helping us. We love you." They hug Mom and start to dry the mess. They learn their lesson. They are sorry. +Tom and Mia are playing with blocks. They want to build a big tower. Tom puts a blue block on top of a red block. Mia puts a yellow block on top of a green block. They take turns to add more blocks. + +"Look, our tower is so high!" Tom says. + +"Yes, it is!" Mia says. "But I want to put a blue block on top.

They run and jump and catch. They have fun and make noise. They see a dog and a bird. They say hello and wave. + +But there is also a cat in the park. The cat is lazy. It does not want to play.

They want to make it happy. They go to the cat with their moms. They say hello and pet it. They offer it some cheese and apple. They try to make it play. + +But the cat does not want anything. It hisses and scratches. It runs away and hides. It does not want to be friends. Tom and Lily are sad. They do not understand. + +Their moms hug them and explain.

They say that they should enjoy their picnic and their play. + +Tom and Lily nod and smile. They understand. They go back to their blanket and their toys. They forget about the cat. They have fun and make noise. They are happy and friendly. They have a good day. +Ben and Jen were twins who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to race them on the floor and make vroom-vroom sounds. One day, they found a big gray car in the garage. It was their dad's car, but he was not home. + +"Let's play with this car," Ben said. "It looks fast and cool." + +"But dad said we can't touch his car," Jen said. "He said it is not a toy. It is for grown-ups only." + +Ben did not listen to Jen. He opened the door and climbed into the car. He found a key in the cup holder and put it in the hole. He turned the key and the car made a loud noise. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Ben said. He pushed a button and the car moved forward. He pushed another button and the car moved backward. He pushed a lever and the car turned left and right. + +"Ben, stop!" Jen said. "You are making a mess. You are hitting the boxes and the tools. You are making dad angry." + +Ben did not stop. He pushed the pedal and the car went faster and faster. He felt like a racer. He did not see the red can on the shelf. The can had a word on it: FUEL. It was what dad used to make the car go. + +The car hit the shelf and the can fell down. It broke and the fuel spilled on the floor. The fuel was wet and smelly. It made a puddle.

Do not ignore the warnings of others. Do not be reckless and greedy. Be respectful and careful. +One day, a child saw a big orange ball in the park. The child liked the ball and wanted to play with it. The child ran to the ball and picked it up. The ball was soft and bouncy. + +But another child saw the ball too. The other child also liked the ball and wanted to play with it. The other child ran to the first child and said, "Give me the ball! It is mine!" The first child said, "No, it is mine! I saw it first!" The two children started to fight over the ball. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +The ball did not like to be fought over. The ball wanted to be free and happy. The ball waited for a chance to move. When the two children were not looking, the ball rolled away from them. The ball rolled faster and faster, until it reached the road. + +The road was busy and noisy. There were many cars and trucks and buses. The ball did not see the cars and trucks and buses.

They ask people if they know the dog. No one knows. They see a poster on a tree. It has a picture of the dog. It says: "Lost dog. Please call this number." + +"Look, Ben! It's the dog!" Sara says. "We found its home!" + +They call the number on the poster. A woman answers. She is happy and grateful. She says she is the dog's owner.

You can't have it." + +Lily was sad and said, "Please, Max, can you lend me the swing for a little while? I really want to swing." + +Max said, "No, I won't lend you the swing. I have muscles and you don't. I can swing higher and faster than you." + +Lily said, "But that's not fair. You can go on the slide after you swing. I can't go on the slide because I'm too small. Please, Max, be nice and share." + +Max said, "No, I won't share. Go away, Lily. You are too weak and slow to play with me." + +Lily felt hurt and angry.

She jumped into the pit. Ben followed her. He did not want to leave her alone. + +The pit was very deep and dark. They could not see anything. They felt something furry and wet. It was a big dog. The dog was angry. It barked and growled. It bit Sara on the leg. Sara screamed. + +"Help, help!" Sara and Ben cried. + +Their mom heard them. She ran to the pit. She saw the dog. She threw a stick at it. The dog ran away. She pulled Sara and Ben out of the pit. She hugged them. + +"Are you okay?" she asked. + +Sara and Ben were scared and sorry. Sara had a big wound on her leg. It was bleeding. Mom took them to the doctor. The doctor cleaned and bandaged Sara's wound. He gave her a shot. He said she would be fine. + +Mom was very angry and sad. She scolded Sara and Ben. + +"Why did you go into the pit?" she asked. "You could have been killed by the dog. You should have listened to me. I told you not to play near the pit. It is dangerous." + +Sara and Ben felt ashamed. They apologized to Mom. They learned their lesson. They never went near the pit again. They always listened to Mom. They knew she loved them and wanted them to be safe. +Anna liked to play in the garden with her mom. She liked to look at the flowers and smell them. She liked the red ones and the yellow ones and the pink ones. She liked to pick some and give them to her mom. + +One day, Anna saw a new flower in the garden. It was white and had many petals. It was very big and pretty. Anna wanted to pick it and show it to her mom. She ran to the flower and reached for it. + +But when she touched the flower, something strange happened. The flower changed! It became deep blue and had fewer petals. It was still big and pretty, but different. Anna was surprised and scared. She let go of the flower and ran back to her mom. + +"Mom, mom, look at the flower!" Anna cried. "It changed, it changed!" + +Her mom followed her to the garden and saw the flower. She smiled and hugged Anna. + +"Don't be afraid, Anna. That's a special flower. It's called a morning glory. It changes color when you touch it. It's a magic flower. Do you want to touch it again and see what happens?" + +Anna nodded and took her mom's hand. They walked to the flower and touched it gently. The flower changed again. It became purple and had more petals. It was still big and pretty, but different. + +Anna laughed and clapped her hands. She liked the magic flower. She liked to see it change. She picked it and gave it to her mom. + +"Thank you, Anna. This is a beautiful flower. And you are a beautiful girl. I love you." + +"I love you too, mom. And I love the garden. And I love the flowers. Even the ones that change." +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But they do not like to clean up. Their room is always messy. Mom and Dad are not happy. + +One day, Mom and Dad say, "You have to use your toy box. Put all your toys in the toy box when you are done. Then your room will be organized and neat. If you do not, we will take away some toys." + +Tom and Lily do not listen. They keep playing and leaving their toys everywhere. Mom and Dad come to check on them. They see the mess. They are very angry. + +They say, "You did not use your toy box. You did not listen to us. Now we will take away some toys. You can only keep the toys that are on the left side of the room. The toys on the right side are gone." + +Tom and Lily are sad. They look at the left side of the room. There are only a few toys there. They look at the right side of the room. There are many toys there. They wish they had used their toy box. They wish they had been organized. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We will use our toy box from now on. We will keep our room clean. Please give us back our toys." + +Mom and Dad say, "We are glad you are sorry. We will give you back your toys. But you have to promise to use your toy box every day. And you have to help each other. Then your room will be organized and nice. And we will be happy." + +Tom and Lily promise. They hug Mom and Dad. They use their toy box. They put all their toys in the toy box. They help each other. Their room is organized and nice. Mom and Dad are happy. Tom and Lily are happy. They play with their toys. They have fun. +Tim and Jen were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw big dark clouds in the sky. They heard loud noises like drums. They felt raindrops on their faces. They ran to their mom and asked what was happening. + +Mom said, "It's a storm, my loves. Don't be scared. It's just nature's way of making noise and water. Sometimes, we see bright flashes in the sky. They are called lightning. They are harmless, but they can be very pretty to watch." + +Tim and Jen wanted to see the lightning. They asked mom if they could go to the window and look. Mom said, "Yes, you can, but be careful. Don't touch the glass or the metal. Stay away from the plugs and the wires. They can be dangerous if the lightning hits them." + +Tim and Jen went to the window and waited. They saw the dark clouds move and change shapes. They heard the loud noises get louder and softer. They felt the raindrops get bigger and smaller. They saw the bright flashes in the sky. They were yellow and white and blue. They were fast and short and long. They were beautiful and scary and exciting. + +Tim and Jen liked the lightning. They wanted to see more. They tried to guess when and where the next flash would be. They made a game of it. They said, "I choose that cloud. I choose that corner. I choose that tree." They laughed and clapped and cheered. + +They did not see the lightning that hit the big tree in their backyard. They did not hear the loud crack that split the trunk. They did not feel the wind that blew the branches and the leaves. They did not know the fire that started in the grass. They only saw the smoke that filled the air. They only heard the sirens that came closer. They only felt the fear that gripped their hearts. + +Mom saw the fire. She smelled the smoke. She heard the sirens. She felt the panic. She ran to the window and grabbed Tim and Jen. She said, "We have to go, my loves. Now. There's a fire in the backyard. It's not harmless. It's very dangerous. We have to get out of the house. We have to be safe." + +Tim and Jen did not understand. They did not want to go. They wanted to stay and watch the lightning. They wanted to play their game. They wanted to choose. But they had no choice. They followed mom. They left the house. They left the window. They left the lightning. They left the fire. They left the storm. +Lily and Tom were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They packed their luggage with clothes, toys and books. Lily had a colorful suitcase with flowers and butterflies. Tom had a blue suitcase with cars and rockets. + +They got in the car and drove to the airport. They saw many planes in the sky. They were big and loud. Lily and Tom were excited to fly in a plane. They gave their luggage to a man who put it on a cart. He said he would take it to the plane. + +But something bad happened. The cart had a broken wheel. It made a spark when it hit a rock. The spark lit a piece of paper on fire. The fire spread to the luggage. It started to burn. Lily and Tom saw smoke and flames. They were scared and sad. They cried for their luggage. + +Mom and Dad hugged them and said it was okay. They said they were sorry for their luggage. They said they would buy them new clothes and toys. They said they would still have fun on their trip. They said they loved them very much. + +Lily and Tom stopped crying. They felt better. They thanked Mom and Dad. They held their hands and walked to the plane. They hoped the plane would not burn. They hoped they would see colorful things on their trip. They hoped they would have a good time. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. Sara likes to make towers and Ben likes to make bridges. They have many blocks of different shapes and colors. + +"Look, Sara, I can teach you how to make a bridge," Ben says. He takes a long block and puts it on top of two square blocks. "You need a long block and two square blocks. Then you have a bridge." + +"That's cool, Ben," Sara says. "Can I try?" She takes another long block and two square blocks and copies Ben. She makes a bridge next to his. + +"Good job, Sara," Ben says. "Now we have two bridges. Do you want to make more?" + +"Yes, let's make more," Sara says. They look for more long blocks and square blocks. They find some, but they also find some circle blocks. "What can we do with these circle blocks?" Sara asks. + +"Hmm, I don't know," Ben says. "They are not good for bridges. They roll away." + +"Maybe we can make something else with them," Sara says. She picks up a circle block and holds it in her hand. "It is heavy. And it feels smooth." + +She puts the circle block on the floor and rolls it with her finger. It goes fast and makes a sound. "Whee, this is fun," Sara says. "It is like a ball." + +"Let me try," Ben says. He picks up another circle block and rolls it with his finger. It goes fast and makes a sound, too. "You are right, Sara, this is fun. It is like a ball." + +They take turns rolling the circle blocks on the floor. They laugh and clap their hands. They forget about the bridges and the towers. They only play with the circle blocks. They learn something new. They have fun. +Sara liked to play on the porch with her dolls. She had a big doll with a pink dress and a small doll with a blue hat. She made them talk and hug and dance. She was happy on the porch. + +One day, a fat cat came to the porch. It was black and white and had green eyes. It looked at Sara and her dolls. It jumped on the porch and walked to Sara. Sara was scared of the fat cat. She hugged her dolls and said, "Go away, fat cat!" + +The fat cat did not go away. It came closer to Sara and her dolls. It sniffed the big doll with the pink dress. It scratched the small doll with the blue hat. It made a loud meow. Sara cried and said, "Stop, fat cat!" + +Sara's mom heard Sara cry. She came to the porch and saw the fat cat. She said, "Shoo, fat cat!" She picked up the fat cat and put it outside the porch. She said, "Sorry, Sara. That fat cat was naughty. Are you OK?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, mom. Thank you, mom." She looked at her dolls. The big doll with the pink dress was OK. The small doll with the blue hat had a hole. Sara was sad. She said, "Mom, can you fix my doll?" + +Sara's mom said, "Of course, Sara. I can fix your doll. Don't worry, Sara. I love you and your dolls." She hugged Sara and took her and her dolls inside. She said, "Let's have some cookies and milk. And let's remember to close the door, so the fat cat can't come back." Sara smiled and said, "OK, mom. I love you, too." She was happy again. +Anna liked to spend time with her grandma. Grandma had a big house with many toys and books. She also had a big refrigerator with many yummy things inside. Anna loved to open the refrigerator and see what she could find. + +One day, Anna saw a yellow bowl in the refrigerator. It looked like pudding. Anna loved pudding. She took the bowl out and opened it. It smelled funny. Anna did not care. She took a big spoon and put it in her mouth. + +Anna made a face. The pudding was not pudding. It was sour and bitter. It was lemon curd. Grandma used it to make pies. Anna did not like pies. She spit out the lemon curd and ran to the sink. She drank some water and cried. + +Grandma heard Anna cry and came to the kitchen. She saw the yellow bowl and the lemon curd. She knew what happened. She hugged Anna and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie. That was not pudding. That was lemon curd. It is very sour. You have to be careful what you eat from the refrigerator. Some things are not for you." + +Anna nodded and said, "I'm sorry, grandma. I thought it was pudding. I like pudding. Can I have some pudding, please?" + +Grandma smiled and said, "Of course, you can have some pudding. I have some chocolate pudding in the refrigerator. It is in a brown bowl. Do you want some?" + +Anna smiled and said, "Yes, please. I love chocolate pudding. Thank you, grandma." + +Grandma and Anna went to the refrigerator and got the brown bowl. They sat down and ate the chocolate pudding. It was sweet and creamy. Anna liked it very much. She forgot about the lemon curd. She was happy to spend time with her grandma. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and swing. They saw a big pile of leaves and wanted to jump in it. They ran to the pile and jumped with a loud "whee!" + +But when they landed, they heard a snap. They looked down and saw a twig under their feet. The twig was broken and had a sharp point. Tom and Lily felt sorry for the twig. They wondered if it hurt. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was a squirrel. The squirrel was angry. He said, "That was my twig! You broke my twig! That was my home! You are bad!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not mean to break the squirrel's twig. They did not know it was his home. They said, "We are sorry, Mr. Squirrel. We did not see your twig. We just wanted to play. Please do not be mad at us." + +The squirrel looked at them. He saw that they were sorry. He saw that they were just kids. He said, "It is okay. I forgive you. But next time, be careful where you jump. You might hurt someone or something. And if you do, say sorry and make it better." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Thank you, Mr. Squirrel. We will be careful. And we will help you find a new twig for your home." + +The squirrel smiled. He said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are good. And you are brave. It is not easy to say sorry and make it better. But it is the right thing to do." + +Tom and Lily smiled back. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful, to be sorry, and to be good. They played with the squirrel for a while. Then they went home with their mom. They told her what happened. She was proud of them. She hugged them and said, "I love you, Tom and Lily. You are good kids." +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see many animals on the farm. They see cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. + +One day, they see a sheep that does not move. It lies on the grass. It does not breathe. It does not make noise. Tim and Jen are sad. They ask the farmer what is wrong with the sheep. + +The farmer says, "The sheep is dead. It was old and sick. It could not live anymore. It is okay to be sad. The sheep had a good life on the farm." + +Tim and Jen want to help the farmer. They ask, "What do you need to do with the dead sheep?" + +The farmer says, "I need to bury the dead sheep. I need to dig a hole in the ground. I need to put the sheep in the hole. I need to cover the hole with dirt. I need to say goodbye to the sheep." + +Tim and Jen say, "We can help you. We can dig the hole. We can put the sheep in the hole. We can cover the hole with dirt. We can say goodbye to the sheep." + +The farmer says, "Thank you, Tim and Jen. You are very kind and helpful. The sheep would be happy to have you as friends." +Lily was a messy mouse. She liked to play with her toys, but she never put them away. Her room was full of blocks, dolls, cars and books. Her mom always told her to clean up, but Lily did not listen. + +One day, Lily found a new toy in her room. It was a big red balloon with a string. Lily loved balloons. She wanted to play with it right away. She tied the string to her wrist and ran outside. + +"Look, Mom, look!" Lily shouted. "I have a balloon!" + +Mom smiled and waved. "That's very nice, Lily. But be careful, don't let go of the string. The balloon might soar away." + +Lily nodded, but she did not really hear Mom. She was too busy running and jumping with her balloon. She felt like she could soar too. + +She ran to the park, where she saw her friend Ben. Ben was a neat mouse. He always put his toys away. He was playing with a kite. + +"Hi, Lily, hi!" Ben said. "Do you want to play with my kite?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, thanks, Ben. I have a balloon. It's better than a kite." + +Ben frowned. "A balloon is not better than a kite. A kite can soar higher and faster. A balloon can only float." + +Lily did not like what Ben said. She thought her balloon was the best. She wanted to show him. + +"Oh, yeah?" Lily said. "Watch this!" + +She let go of the string. + +The balloon soared up, up, up in the sky. Lily gasped. She had made a big mistake. + +"Come back, balloon, come back!" Lily cried. She reached for the string, but it was too late. The balloon was gone. + +Lily felt very sad. She had lost her new toy. She wished she had listened to Mom. She wished she had played with Ben. + +Ben felt sorry for Lily. He saw her tears. He ran to her and gave her a hug. + +"It's okay, Lily, it's okay," Ben said. "I'm sorry about your balloon. Do you want to play with my kite?" + +Lily nodded. She smiled a little. She was glad Ben was her friend. + +"Thank you, Ben, thank you," Lily said. "You are very nice. Maybe we can share your kite." + +Ben nodded. He smiled too. He was glad Lily was his friend. + +"Sure, Lily, sure," Ben said. "We can share my kite. And maybe later, we can help you clean your room." + +Lily agreed. She thought that was a good idea. She learned her lesson. She decided to be a neat mouse from now on. +Lily and Ben went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and the water. They saw many things on the beach, like shells, rocks, and birds. + +One day, they found a crab on the sand. It was big and red and had claws and legs. Lily and Ben wanted to touch it, but Mom said, "Be careful, it might pinch you." + +The crab did not move. It seemed very still and quiet. Lily and Ben wondered if it was sleeping or sick or dead. They felt sorry for the crab. They thought it might be thirsty, because the sand was very dry and hot. + +They decided to help the crab. They dug a hole in the sand and filled it with water from the sea. They gently picked up the crab and put it in the hole. They hoped the water would make the crab happy and alive. + +But the crab did not like the water. It was too salty and cold for the crab. The crab was not a sea crab, it was a land crab. It liked to live in the forest, where it could find fresh water and food. The crab was not sleeping or sick or dead, it was just resting on the sand. + +The crab was angry and scared. It wanted to go back to the forest. It did not like Lily and Ben. It pinched them with its claws and ran away. Lily and Ben cried and said, "Ouch, that hurt!" + +Mom and Dad came and hugged them. They said, "It's okay, the crab was just scared too. It did not mean to hurt you. You were very kind and brave to try to help it. But not all crabs like water. Some crabs like land. You have to be careful and respectful of the animals you find on the beach. They have different needs and feelings than you." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We understand. We are sorry, crab. We hope you find your home." + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that not all crabs are the same, and that sometimes, what seems good for you might not be good for someone else. They learned to be more curious and careful about the world around them. They still liked to play on the beach, but they also liked to explore the forest and see what other animals lived there. They made many new friends, but they never forgot the crab. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big train set. The train set has many tracks, cars, and a station. The train can make noises and move by itself. + +One day, Mom tells Sara and Tom that they have to go to the dentist. Sara and Tom do not like the dentist. They think it is scary and boring. They want to play with their train set more. They ask Mom if they can delay going to the dentist. Mom says no, they have to go now. She says they can play with their train set later. + +Sara and Tom are sad and angry. They do not want to leave their train set. They have an idea. They think they can make Mom change her mind. They go to the kitchen and find a big jar of salt. They take the jar and sneak back to the living room. They pour the salt all over the train set. They think the salt will make the train set look dirty and broken. They think Mom will see the train set and feel sorry for them. They think Mom will let them stay home and play with their train set. + +But they are wrong. Mom comes to the living room and sees the train set. She is very mad. She sees the salt and the mess. She sees the train set is fragile and can be damaged by the salt. She sees Sara and Tom are naughty and mean. She tells Sara and Tom they have to go to the dentist and they have to clean up the train set. She tells Sara and Tom they are in big trouble and they cannot play with their train set for a long time. + +Sara and Tom are very sorry. They cry and say they are sorry. But it is too late. They have to go to the dentist and they have to clean up the train set. They do not know if the train set will work again. They do not know if Mom will forgive them. They wish they had not poured the salt on the train set. They wish they had listened to Mom. They wish they had not delayed going to the dentist. They have a bad day. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in Anna's room. Anna has many toys and books. Ben has a big ball and a hairy dog. + +One day, Ben comes to Anna's room with his ball and his dog. He says, "Let's play with my ball and my dog. They are fun." Anna says, "No, I want to play with my toys and books. They are fun too." Ben says, "But your toys and books are boring. My ball and my dog are better." Anna says, "No, they are not. Your ball is too big for my room. And your dog is too hairy. He makes my room dirty." + +Ben and Anna start to argue. They do not want to share or try each other's things. They get angry and sad. They do not play anymore. + +Then, Anna's mom comes to the room. She sees Ben and Anna sitting on the floor, not talking. She asks, "What is wrong, children? Why are you not playing?" Ben and Anna tell her what happened. Anna's mom says, "I see. You both have nice things, but you do not want to share or try new things. That is not good. Sharing and trying new things can make you happy and learn more. Why don't you suggest something that you both like to do?" + +Ben and Anna think for a while. Then, Ben says, "I like to draw pictures. Do you have paper and crayons, Anna?" Anna says, "Yes, I do. I like to draw pictures too. Do you want to draw with me, Ben?" Ben says, "Yes, I do. That sounds fun. Can I use your crayons, Anna?" Anna says, "Yes, you can. Can I use your ball, Ben?" Ben says, "Yes, you can. We can roll it and bounce it later. And can we pet your dog, Anna?" Anna says, "Yes, we can. He is very soft and friendly. He likes to be petted." + +Ben and Anna smile and hug. They start to draw pictures together. They share their crayons and their ideas. They have fun and learn from each other. Anna's mom is happy. She says, "That's great, children. You are good friends. You are kind and respectful. You know how to suggest and compromise. That is a good way to play and live." +Sam and Mia were playing with their toy trucks in the yard. They liked to load the trucks with sand, rocks and leaves and drive them around. Sam had a big red truck and Mia had a small yellow truck. + +"Look, Mia, I can load more things than you!" Sam said, filling his truck with sand until it was very full. "My truck is stronger and faster!" + +"No, Sam, my truck is smarter and nicer!" Mia said, putting some rocks and leaves on her truck. "Your truck is too heavy and slow!" + +They decided to have a race to see whose truck was better. They lined up their trucks at the start line and counted to three. Then they pushed their trucks as hard as they could. + +Sam's truck zoomed ahead, leaving a trail of sand behind. Mia's truck followed, but it was slower and wobblier. Sam was sure he would win the race. He looked back and smiled. + +But then he heard a loud sound. His truck had hit a bump and the sand had spilled out. His truck was too full and tight and it broke. The wheels came off and the truck stopped. + +Mia's truck passed by Sam's broken truck and reached the finish line. Mia was happy and proud. She had won the race. + +"Ha, ha, Sam, I told you my truck was smarter and nicer!" Mia said, picking up her truck and hugging it. "Your truck was too heavy and slow and it broke!" + +Sam was sad and angry. He had lost the race and his truck was broken. He wished he had not loaded his truck so much. He wished he had listened to Mia. + +"I'm sorry, Mia, you were right," Sam said, looking at his broken truck. "Can we share your truck and play together?" + +Mia smiled and nodded. She liked to share and play with Sam. She gave him her truck and they played together. They learned to load their truck with just enough things and not too many. They had fun and were happy. +Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings and the slide. But today it was very cold and windy. Mom said they had to wear their jackets. + +Tom and Lily did not like their jackets. They were big and heavy and itchy. They wanted to feel the wind on their skin. So when Mom was not looking, they took off their jackets and left them on a bench. + +They ran to the swings and the slide. They had fun. They felt wild and free. They did not see the big black cloud in the sky. + +Soon it started to rain. The rain was cold and wet. It made them shiver and cry. They ran back to the bench. But their jackets were gone. A big dog had taken them. The dog was wild and mean. It growled and barked at them. + +Mom came and saw them. She was angry and sad. She hugged them and took them home. They were wet and cold and sick. They had no jackets. They wished they had listened to Mom. They learned a hard lesson. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big rod leaning on a tree. It looked like a fun toy. + +"Let's play with the rod!" Tim said. "We can pretend it is a sword or a wand!" + +Lily nodded. She liked to pretend. They ran to the rod and picked it up. It was heavy and hard. + +They swung the rod around, making noises and laughing. They did not see the sign that said "Do not touch. Danger." + +A man was walking by. He saw the children playing with the rod. He knew it was not a toy. It was a metal pipe that could hurt them. + +"Hey, kids, stop!" he shouted. "That rod is not harmless. It is dangerous. You could get hurt or break something. Put it down and go away." + +Tim and Lily heard the man. They were scared. They did not know the rod was dangerous. They thought it was harmless. + +They dropped the rod and ran to the man. They said they were sorry. + +The man was kind. He told them it was okay. He explained that the rod was part of a construction site. He said they should never play with things they do not know. He said they should always read the signs and listen to the grown-ups. + +Tim and Lily learned their lesson. They thanked the man and went back to their parents. They decided to play with their own toys. They knew they were harmless and fun. +Ben and Mia like to play with blocks. They can build many things with blocks. They can build houses, cars, towers, and animals. One day, they want to build an owl. + +"Owls are clever birds," Ben says. "They can see in the dark and fly very fast." + +"How do we build an owl?" Mia asks. "What does an owl look like?" + +Ben thinks hard. He remembers a picture of an owl in his book. "An owl has a big head, big eyes, a small nose, and a round body. It also has wings, feet, and feathers." + +Ben and Mia look at their blocks. They find some brown blocks, some white blocks, and some black blocks. They start to build an owl with the blocks. They make a big head with brown and white blocks. They make big eyes with black and white blocks. They make a small nose with a black block. They make a round body with brown and white blocks. They make wings with brown blocks. They make feet with yellow blocks. They stick some feathers on the owl with glue. + +They finish their owl. They are very proud of their owl. They show their owl to their mom. + +"Wow, what a clever owl!" their mom says. "You are very clever too, Ben and Mia. You built an owl with blocks. How did you do that?" + +Ben and Mia smile. They tell their mom how they built an owl. They also tell their mom what they know about owls. Their mom listens and nods. She is very happy with her clever children. She gives them a hug and a kiss. She tells them to play nicely with their owl. Ben and Mia nod. They play nicely with their owl. They make owl sounds and pretend to fly. They have a lot of fun with their owl. +Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, they wanted to spend time together. But Anna's mom said no. She said Anna had to go to a meeting with her dad. Tom was sad and angry. + +"Why do you have to go to a meeting?" Tom asked. "Meetings are boring and long. You can't play there." + +"I don't know," Anna said. "Mom says it's important. She says we have to meet some big people who can help dad with his work." + +Tom did not like that. He thought Anna's mom was mean. He wanted to make her change her mind. He had an idea. He ran to the kitchen and found a disgusting thing. It was a rotten banana. It was brown and mushy and smelly. Tom smiled. He put the banana in Anna's mom's purse. + +"Come on, Anna," he said. "Let's go play outside for a little while. Maybe your mom will forget about the meeting." + +Anna nodded. She did not want to go to the meeting either. She followed Tom outside. They played with dolls and cars. They had fun. + +But soon, Anna's mom came out. She looked angry and grossed out. She had the rotten banana in her hand. She had found it in her purse. She had touched it and smelled it. She knew Tom had done it. + +"Tom, how could you do this?" she yelled. "This is disgusting. You ruined my purse and my meeting. The big people saw the banana and laughed at me. They did not want to help dad with his work. They said I was unprofessional and messy. You are a bad boy. You are not Anna's friend anymore. Go home now and don't come back." + +Tom felt scared and sorry. He did not mean to make Anna's mom lose her meeting. He did not mean to make Anna lose her friend. He just wanted to spend time with Anna. He did not like meetings. He did not like disgusting things. He did not like himself. He ran home and cried. He had a bad day. He had a bad ending. +Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, they wake up early and go to the kitchen. They see a big oven. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's open the oven," Tom says. + +"No, we can't. Mom said it is hot and we can get hurt," Sue says. + +But Tom does not listen. He pulls the oven door. It is light and easy to open. He sees a cake inside. It smells good. He wants to touch it. + +"Tom, stop! It is hot!" Sue says. + +But Tom does not stop. He reaches for the cake. He feels a burn on his hand. He screams and drops the cake. It falls on the floor and breaks. + +Mom hears the scream and the noise. She runs to the kitchen. She sees Tom and Sue and the cake. She is angry and sad. + +"What did you do?" Mom says. + +Tom and Sue are scared and sorry. They cry and say sorry. + +Mom hugs them and says, "It's okay. I love you. But you have to listen to me. The oven is not a toy. It is dangerous. You could have been hurt badly. Next time, wait for me to wake up and I will make you a cake." + +Tom and Sue nod and say, "Okay, Mom. We love you too. We are sorry." + +Mom smiles and says, "It's okay. Let's clean up the mess and have some breakfast." + +They clean up the mess and have some breakfast. They are happy again. They learn to be careful with the oven. +Sam liked to play sport with his friends. He liked to run, jump, kick and throw. He was good at sport and he liked to lead his team. He would say, "Follow me, friends! We can win!" + +One day, Sam and his friends played sport in the park. They played soccer and baseball and tag. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very messy. They had dirt on their clothes, grass on their hair and mud on their shoes. + +When they were done, they went back to Sam's house. Sam's mom was waiting for them. She saw how messy they were and she was not happy. She said, "Sam, what did you do? You and your friends are so messy! You need to clean up right now!" + +Sam felt bad. He did not want to make his mom angry. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. We played sport and we got messy. We had fun, but we forgot to be careful. We will clean up, I promise." + +Sam's mom smiled. She said, "I'm glad you had fun, Sam. But you also need to be responsible. Sport is good, but so is being clean. Now, lead your friends to the bathroom and wash up. Then you can have a snack and tell me about your game." + +Sam nodded. He said, "Okay, mom. Thank you for being nice. Come on, friends, let's go. I will lead you to the bathroom and we will wash up. Then we can have a snack and tell you about our game." + +Sam and his friends did as Sam's mom said. They went to the bathroom and washed up. They put their dirty clothes in the hamper and their muddy shoes in the porch. Then they had a snack and told Sam's mom about their game. They said, "We played sport and we had fun. Sam was a good leader and he helped us win. We are sorry we got messy, but we are clean now. We love you, mom." + +Sam's mom hugged them. She said, "I love you too, Sam and friends. You are good kids and I'm proud of you. You played sport and you had fun. You also cleaned up and you were sorry. You are good leaders and good followers. Now, you can play some more, but be careful. And don't get too messy again." +Tom liked to play mailman. He had a big bag full of letters and cards that he made himself. He also had a belt that he wore around his waist. It had a shiny buckle that he found in his dad's closet. He thought it looked like a mailman's badge. + +Every day, he would go around his neighborhood and deliver his mail to his friends. He would knock on their doors and say, "Mail for you!" They would smile and thank him and give him a hug. He felt very happy and popular. + +One day, he saw a new house on his street. It had a big fence and a sign that said, "Beware of dog". Tom was curious. He wanted to see who lived there and if they wanted his mail. He opened the gate and walked in. He did not see a dog, but he heard a loud bark. + +Suddenly, a big, black dog ran towards him. It looked angry and hungry. Tom was scared. He dropped his bag and ran back to the gate. But the gate was closed. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He looked for help, but no one was around. + +He remembered his belt. He took it off and waved it in the air. He hoped the dog would be afraid of the shiny buckle. He shouted, "Go away, dog! Go away!" But the dog did not go away. It jumped and bit his belt. It pulled and tugged and ripped it apart. Tom cried. He lost his belt and his mail. He felt very sad and lonely. +Anna liked to play with her dolls in her room. She had many dolls with long hair and pretty dresses.

It was a monster doll. + +Anna's mom gave her the monster doll for her birthday. She said it was a special doll that could talk and sing. She said it was a friend for Anna. But Anna did not want a friend like that. She was afraid of the monster doll. She hid it under her bed and never played with it. + +One night, Anna heard a noise from under her bed. It was the monster doll. It said, "Hello, Anna. Do you want to play with me?" Anna screamed and ran to her mom. She told her mom there was a monster under her bed. Her mom did not believe her. She said it was just a doll. She said Anna should not be scared of a doll. + +Her mom took Anna back to her room. She lifted the bed and pulled out the monster doll. She held it in her arms and smiled. She said, "Look, Anna. This is not a monster. This is a friendly doll. He can talk and sing and tell you stories. He is a magic doll. He can make you happy." + +She pressed a button on the doll's back. The doll said, "Hello, Anna. I am sorry I scared you. I just wanted to be your friend. Can you give me a hug?" The doll sang a song. It was a silly song about a bald monkey. Anna listened to the song. She saw the doll's eyes. They were not scary. They were kind. She saw the doll's smile. It was not mean. It was funny. + +Anna felt a change in her heart. She was not afraid of the monster doll anymore. She was curious. She wanted to know more about the doll. She wanted to hear his stories. She wanted to play with him. She reached out her arms and hugged the doll. She said, "Hello, friend. I am sorry I hid you. I did not understand you. Can you explain to me how you can talk and sing and do magic?" + +The doll hugged her back. He said, "Of course, Anna. I will explain everything to you. But first, can you give me a name? I do not have a name. You can choose any name you like for me." + +Anna thought for a moment. She looked at the doll's bald head. She said, "I will call you Baldy. Baldy the magic doll. Do you like that name?" + +The doll nodded. He said, "I love that name, Anna. Thank you for giving me a name. And thank you for being my friend. You are the best friend I ever had." + +Anna smiled. She said, "You are welcome, Baldy. And you are the best friend I ever had, too." She kissed the doll on his cheek. She said, "Now, tell me your stories. I want to hear them all." + +The doll said, "Okay, Anna. I will tell you my stories. But first, let me sing you another song. It is a song about a bald princess. She was very brave and smart and kind. She was a lot like you." + +Anna laughed. She said, "Okay, Baldy. Sing me the song. I want to hear it." + +The doll sang the song. It was a beautiful song. Anna listened to the song. She felt happy. She felt safe. She felt loved. She cuddled with the doll and closed her eyes. She fell asleep with a smile on her face. She dreamed of bald monkeys and bald princesses and bald magic dolls. She dreamed of Baldy, her new friend. +Ben likes to stretch in the morning. He feels his arms and legs get long and strong.

He wants to go and look. + +He puts on his clothes and shoes. He tells his mom he is going out. She says okay, but be careful. He says okay, and runs to the fence. + +He sees the hole is very big.

She said she loved them and she would be back soon. She turned off the light and closed the door. + +Lily and Ben were not happy. They did not feel sleepy at all. They whispered to each other and made faces. They tried to think of ways to escape. But they knew Mom would be mad if they did. + +So they decided to remain in bed and wait for Mom to come back. They thought maybe she would let them play again after their nap. They hoped she would bring them a snack. They liked snacks. Especially sweet ones. + +But they did not know that Mom had a surprise for them. She had bought some lemons from the store. She wanted to make lemonade for them. She thought they would like it. She squeezed the lemons and added some water and sugar. She poured the lemonade into two cups and put them on a tray. + +She also brought some cookies and a book.

But we like cookies more." + +Mom said, "Okay, then. Have some cookies. And then I'll read you a story and give you a massage. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben smiled. They said, "That sounds great, Mom. We love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, my little ones. Now, let's enjoy our snack and our story and our massage." +Anna liked to play basketball with her big brother Tom.

She is angry and worried. She takes the candy from their mouths and throws it in the trash. She tells them the candy is not candy. It is medicine. It is for sick people, not for kids.
