They find a key under a rug. They open the door. They see a chamber. + +The chamber is dark and cold. The chamber has a bed, a table, and a chair. The bed, the table, and the chair are old and broken. The chamber has no toys, no books, no pictures. The chamber has a window, but the window is small and dirty. The chamber is harsh. + +Lila and Tom do not like the chamber. They want to leave. But the door is closed. The key is gone. They are trapped. + +"Help! Help!" Lila and Tom shout. "Let us out! Let us out!" + +No one hears them. No one comes. Lila and Tom are scared. They hug each other. They cry. + +The end. +Anna loves stars. She likes to look at them in the sky at night. She wishes she could have a star of her own. One day, she asks her mom, "Mom, can I have a star?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Stars are very far away, Anna. They are also very hot. You can't touch them or hold them. They would burn you." + +Anna feels sad. She says, "But I want a star. They are so pretty and shiny. Please, mom, please." + +Mom thinks for a moment. She says, "I have an idea, Anna. Why don't we make a star for you? We can use some paper, glue, and glitter. It won't be a real star, but it will look like one. And you can keep it in your room." + +Anna's eyes light up. She says, "Yes, mom, yes. Let's make a star. Thank you, mom. You are the best." + +Mom and Anna go to the kitchen. They find some paper, glue, and glitter. They cut out a star shape from the paper. They spread some glue on it. They sprinkle some glitter on it. They wait for it to dry. Then they hang it on the wall in Anna's room. + +Anna is very happy. She receives a star from her mom. She says, "Look, mom, look. My star is so beautiful. It sparkles like the stars in the sky. I love it. I love you, mom." + +Mom hugs Anna. She says, "I love you too, Anna. You are my star." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw an old man with a cane. He walked very slowly and looked sad. + +"Hello, old man. Why are you sad?" Tom asked. + +"I lost my dog. He ran away and I can't find him. He is brown and white and has a red collar. His name is Spot. Have you seen him?" the old man said. + +Tom and Lily shook their heads. They liked dogs and felt sorry for the old man. + +"Maybe we can help you find him. We can look around the park and ask other people. Maybe he will return soon," Lily said. + +The old man smiled and thanked them. He gave them a picture of Spot and told them to be careful. + +Tom and Lily ran around the park. They asked everyone they met if they had seen Spot. But no one had. They were getting tired and hungry. + +"Maybe we should go back to the old man. Maybe Spot returned to him," Tom said. + +"OK, let's go," Lily said. + +They ran back to the bench where the old man was sitting. But he was not there. Instead, they saw a boy with a bike. He had Spot on a leash. He was laughing and pulling Spot's tail. + +"Hey, that's Spot! That's the old man's dog! Give him back!" Tom shouted. + +The boy looked at them and sneered. + +"Spot is mine now. I found him on the street. He is a stupid dog. He doesn't listen to me. He tries to run away. But I won't let him. He is my toy now," the boy said. + +Tom and Lily were angry and scared. They wanted to help Spot, but the boy was bigger and meaner than them. They didn't know what to do. + +Then they heard a voice. + +"Spot! Spot! Where are you, boy?" It was the old man. He had returned with his cane. He saw the boy and his dog. He recognized Spot. + +"That's my dog! That's Spot! Give him back to me, you thief!" the old man said. + +The boy was surprised and scared. He dropped the leash and ran away with his bike. + +The old man picked up Spot and hugged him. Spot licked his face and wagged his tail. He was happy to see his owner. + +Tom and Lily ran to the old man and Spot. They were happy too. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are very kind and brave. You helped me find my dog. You are my friends," the old man said. + +He gave them each a candy and a hug. He told them his name was Fred and invited them to visit him and Spot anytime. + +Tom and Lily smiled and nodded. They liked Fred and Spot. They were their friends. They said goodbye and went home. They had a good day. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, Tim finds a big feather in a box. He thinks it is funny and tickles Sam's nose with it. + +"Stop it, Tim!" Sam says. "That is not nice!" + +But Tim does not stop. He tickles Sam's nose more and more. Sam feels a sneeze coming. He tries to hold it in, but he can't. He sneezes very loud and hard. + +"Ah-choo!" + +The sneeze is so strong that Sam hits his head on the wall. He feels a lot of pain in his head. He starts to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! That hurts!" + +Tim sees that Sam is hurt. He feels sorry for what he did. He drops the feather and runs to Sam. He hugs him and says he is sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I did not mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" + +Sam stops crying. He rubs his head and says he is okay. He hugs Tim back and says he forgives him. + +"It's okay, Tim. I forgive you. But don't do that again. It is not fun to sneeze so hard." + +Tim nods and says he won't do that again. He says he learned his lesson. He says Sam is wise and he loves him. + +"I love you too, Tim. You are my brother. Let's play something else." + +They put the feather away and play with their toys. They are happy and forget about the sneeze and the pain. They are good brothers. +Mira and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big map on the wall. The map has many colors and shapes. + +"What is this?" Mira asks. + +"This is a map. It shows where we are and where other places are," Sam says. He points to a blue shape. "This is the sea. It is wet and salty." + +Mira nods. She points to a yellow shape. "What is this?" + +"This is the west. It is where the sun goes when it is dark. It is far from here," Sam says. + +Mira wants to know more. She is eager to learn. "Can you teach me more about the map?" she asks. + +Sam smiles. He likes to teach. "Yes, I can. Come, I will show you more," he says. + +They sit on the bench and look at the map. Sam teaches Mira about the north, the south, and the east. He teaches her about the mountains, the rivers, and the forests. He teaches her about the animals, the people, and the flags. Mira listens and asks questions. She learns a lot. + +They have fun with the map. They pretend to travel to different places. They make stories and sounds. They laugh and play. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big hill with green grass. They want to go up the hill and roll down. + +They run to the hill and start to climb. But the grass is not soft and nice. It is dry and sharp. It hurts their feet and legs. They cry and want to go back. But they are too high and scared. + +They see a man with a dog. The dog is big and black. It has red eyes and teeth. It is a rare and bad dog. The man does not care. He lets the dog run free. The dog sees Tom and Jen. It barks and runs to them. + +Tom and Jen are very afraid. They scream and try to run away. But the dog is faster and stronger. It bites them and makes them bleed. They fall and do not get up. The dog is happy and licks its lips. The man laughs and walks away. He does not help Tom and Jen. + +No one sees what happens. No one hears their cries. No one comes to save them. Tom and Jen are alone and hurt. They close their eyes and do not wake up. The grass is red and wet. The end. +Sara and Tom are twins. They love to play with trains. They have a big box of trains and tracks. They can make different shapes with the tracks. Sometimes they make a circle, sometimes a square, sometimes a star. + +One day, they decide to make a big heart with the tracks. They work hard to connect the pieces. They use red and pink tracks for the heart. They use blue and green tracks for the outside. They are very proud of their heart. + +They put their trains on the tracks. They have a red train, a pink train, a blue train and a green train. They make the trains go around the heart. They make train noises. Choo choo! + +"Look, Mommy!" Sara says. She points to the heart. "We made a heart for you!" + +Mommy comes to see. She smiles. She thinks Sara and Tom are adorable. She hugs them. + +"That is a beautiful heart!" Mommy says. "Thank you, Sara and Tom! You are very sweet!" + +Sara and Tom smile. They are happy. They love Mommy. They love trains. They love each other. +Lily and Max were very excited. Today was a special event. They were going to the zoo with their mom and dad. They had never seen so many animals before. + +"Look, Lily, a big elephant!" Max said, pointing to the gray creature with a long nose. + +"Wow, Max, it is so big! Can you guess what it eats?" Lily asked. + +Max thought for a moment. "Maybe it eats grass and leaves and fruits," he said. + +"Good guess, Max. You are right. Elephants are herbivores. They only eat plants," Mom said, smiling. + +Lily and Max learned many new things at the zoo. They saw lions and tigers and bears. They saw monkeys and giraffes and penguins. They saw snakes and turtles and frogs. They had so much fun. + +But after a while, they started to feel tired. Their legs were sore from walking. Their eyes were heavy from looking. Their mouths were dry from talking. + +"Mom, Dad, can we go home now?" Lily asked, yawning. + +"Sure, sweetie. We had a great day, but it is time to go home and rest," Dad said, picking her up. + +Max nodded. He was tired too. He hugged his mom and climbed into the car. + +Lily and Max fell asleep on the way home. They dreamed of the animals they saw and the event they enjoyed. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a new boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. + +"Who is he?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is new here. Let's say hello," Tom said. + +They walked to the bench and smiled at the boy. + +"Hi, I'm Tom. This is Lily. What's your name?" Tom asked. + +The boy looked up and said, "I'm Ben. I just moved here with my mom and dad." + +"Welcome, Ben. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asked. + +Ben nodded and smiled. He got up from the bench and joined them. + +They played tag, hide and seek, and catch. They had a lot of fun. Ben was fast and smart. He was good at finding hiding places and catching the ball. + +Lily and Tom liked Ben. They gave him a hug with their arms. They were happy to have a new friend. + +"Ben, you are not sad and lonely anymore. You are our friend," Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily and Tom. You are very nice. You made me feel welcome," Ben said. + +They played until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and promised to play again. + +They walked home with their moms and dads. They were tired but happy. + +They were not lazy. They were active and friendly. They learned how to welcome a new friend. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together. But today they have a problem. They both want to eat pasta for lunch. But there is only one bowl of pasta left. + +"I saw it first!" Tom says. He tries to grab the bowl. + +"No, I did!" Anna says. She pulls the bowl to her side. + +They quarrel and tug at the bowl. They do not share. They do not listen. They are very angry. + +Then, a nosy cat comes. The cat is hungry. The cat sees the pasta. The cat jumps on the table. The cat knocks over the bowl. The pasta falls on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Anna say. They stop quarreling. They look at the pasta. They are very sad. + +The cat is happy. The cat eats the pasta. The cat licks its paws. + +Tom and Anna have no pasta. They have no lunch. They have no fun. They have a bad day. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big book in their mom's room. It has many words and pictures. They want to know what it is. + +They open the book and see a word: cook. They see a picture of a pot and a spoon. They think cook means to make food. They want to cook something for their mom. + +They go to the kitchen and look for things to cook. They find some eggs, cheese, bread, and jam. They put them all in the pot. They stir with the spoon. They think they are making an original dish. + +They hear their mom coming. They are happy. They want to show her their surprise. They carry the pot to the living room. They see their mom's face. She is not happy. She is angry. + +"What are you doing with my dictionary?" she asks. "And what is that smell?" + +They look at the book. They see the word dictionary. They do not know what it means. They look at the pot. They see the mess. They do not know what they did wrong. + +They start to cry. They say they are sorry. They say they wanted to cook for her. + +Their mom hugs them. She says she loves them. She says they are very creative. But she says they should not use books to cook. She says books are for reading and learning. She says she will teach them how to cook properly. She says they can help her make a new dish. + +They wipe their tears. They smile. They say they want to learn. They follow their mom to the kitchen. They leave the dictionary and the pot behind. They hope they can make something good. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a doll. Tom likes the ball. Lily likes the doll. + +One day, Tom sees a shiny coin on the ground. He picks it up and puts it in his pocket. He is happy. He shows Lily the coin. Lily wants the coin. She asks Tom to give it to her. Tom says no. He says it is his coin. Lily is sad. She says it is not fair. + +Tom and Lily start to fight. They pull and push each other. They say mean words. The ball and the doll fall on the grass. The ball rolls away. The doll breaks. Tom and Lily stop fighting. They see the ball and the doll. They are sorry. They say sorry to each other. + +Tom and Lily hug. They are friends again. Tom takes the coin out of his pocket. He gives it to Lily. He says she can have it. Lily is happy. She thanks Tom. She gives him a kiss. Tom is happy. He kisses her back. + +Tom and Lily pick up the ball and the doll. They go to the bench. They sit and talk. They share the coin. They fix the doll. They play with the ball. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. But sometimes they want the same toy. Then they have a fight. + +One day, Mom and Dad give them a big box. They say it is a gift. Lily and Ben are happy. They open the box together. Inside the box, there are two bikes. One is red and one is blue. + +"Wow, bikes!" Lily and Ben say. They want to ride the bikes. But they do not know how. + +Mom and Dad say, "We will teach you how to ride the bikes. But you have to be careful. Bikes are not toys. You have to wear helmets and follow the rules." + +Lily and Ben nod. They put on their helmets. They choose their bikes. Lily likes the red bike. Ben likes the blue bike. They do not have a fight. + +Mom and Dad help them to ride the bikes. They hold the bikes and run with them. Lily and Ben feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and smile. + +They say, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. We love the bikes. And we love you." + +Mom and Dad hug them. They say, "You are welcome, Lily and Ben. We love you too. And we are proud of you. You are good twins. You share and care." +Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. They saw a big pot on the stove. It smelled good. + +"Can we have some?" Lily asked Mom. + +"Not yet, my dears. It is too hot. You have to wait a little bit." Mom said. + +But Lily and Tom did not want to wait. They were very hungry. They sneaked into the kitchen when Mom was not looking. They climbed on a chair and reached for the pot. + +"Ouch!" Lily cried. She touched the pot and it burned her hand. She dropped the pot and it made a loud noise. + +Mom came running into the kitchen. She saw the pot on the floor and the soup spilled everywhere. She saw Lily and Tom with sad faces. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. + +"We were hungry. We wanted some soup. But the pot was hot and it hurt Lily." Tom said. + +Mom hugged Lily and Tom. She checked Lily's hand and put some ice on it. She was not angry. She was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, my dears. I know you were hungry. But you have to be careful. The pot is hot and it can hurt you. Next time, please ask me before you touch anything in the kitchen. OK?" Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said sorry to Mom. They helped Mom clean up the mess. Mom smiled and kissed them. + +"Let's make some sandwiches instead. They are easy and yummy. And they won't burn you." Mom said. + +Lily and Tom smiled too. They liked sandwiches. They were not hungry anymore. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set. They could make the train go fast or slow, and make it stop at different stations. + +One day, their mom said she had to go to the store and asked them to share the train nicely. She gave them some bread and butter for a snack and left. Anna and Ben said they would be good, but soon they started to argue. + +"I want to drive the train!" Anna said. + +"No, I want to drive the train!" Ben said. + +They both pulled the train controller, but it was not strong enough. It broke in two, and the train stopped. Anna and Ben looked at the broken controller and felt sad. + +They heard a loud noise outside. It was a thunderstorm. The sky was dark and the rain was heavy. They saw flashes of light and heard booms of sound. Anna and Ben were frightened. They wanted their mom to come back. + +They hugged each other and said they were sorry for breaking the train. They said they would not separate the controller again. They said they loved each other and the train. + +They ate some bread and butter and waited for the storm to pass. They hoped their mom would fix the controller and make the train work again. They decided to play with their other toys until she came back. They were still twins who liked to play together. +One day, a boy and a girl were playing in the forest. They found a big cave and went inside. They saw many shiny things and pretty stones. The boy picked up a gold crown and put it on his head. + +"I am the king of the cave!" he said. "You are my queen and you have to do what I say." + +The girl did not like that. She wanted to play, not to obey. She saw a red cloak and put it on her shoulders. + +"No, you are not the king," she said. "You are a harsh king and I am a brave knight. I will fight you for the cave." + +The boy and the girl pretended to fight with sticks. They made loud noises and laughed. But then they heard a roar. A big bear came out of the dark. It was angry and hungry. It saw the boy and the girl and wanted to eat them. + +The boy and the girl were scared. They dropped their sticks and ran to the cave entrance. But the bear was faster and blocked their way. It growled and showed its teeth. + +"Please, don't hurt us!" the boy said. "We are sorry for taking your things. We will give them back to you." + +The bear looked at the boy and the girl. It saw the gold crown and the red cloak. It liked them. It wanted them. It offered to let the boy and the girl go if they gave him the crown and the cloak. + +The boy and the girl agreed. They took off the crown and the cloak and gave them to the bear. The bear put them on and smiled. It moved aside and let the boy and the girl run out of the cave. + +The boy and the girl were happy to be safe. They hugged each other and said sorry for being mean. They decided to play something else and never go back to the cave. The bear was happy too. It was the king of the cave and it had a warm cloak. It went back to sleep and dreamed of honey. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to imagine they were different animals. Anna pretended to be a bird and Ben pretended to be a lion. + +"Tweet, tweet, I am a bird and I can fly high in the sky!" Anna said. + +"Roar, roar, I am a lion and I can run fast and catch you!" Ben said. + +They chased each other around the trees and the flowers. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they saw something shiny in the grass. They stopped and went closer. It was a big box with a bow on it. + +"What is this?" Anna asked. + +"Maybe it is a surprise for us!" Ben said. + +They opened the box and saw a lot of toys inside. There were dolls, cars, books, puzzles and more. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Anna said. + +"Who gave us this surprise?" Ben said. + +They saw a note on the box. It said: "To Anna and Ben, from Grandma and Grandpa. We love you and miss you. Have fun with these toys and imagine new adventures. We will see you soon." + +Anna and Ben smiled. They hugged the note and the toys. + +"Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa!" they said. + +They were very happy. They took out the toys and started to play with them. They were gentle with the toys and shared them nicely. + +They imagined they were different animals again, but this time they had new friends to join them. They played until it was time to go inside. They put the toys back in the box and carried it to their room. + +They thanked Grandma and Grandpa again and said good night to their toys. They dreamed of more surprises and more fun. +Lily liked to create things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of her family, her friends, and her toys. She also liked to create stories in her head and tell them to her teddy bear. + +One night, she had a bad dream. She dreamed that a big monster came into her room and took away her crayons and paper. The monster also ripped her teddy bear and threw it in the trash. Lily was very scared and sad. She wanted to wake up, but she could not. + +She heard a voice in her dream. It was her mommy. She said, "Lily, Lily, wake up. It's just a nightmare. You are safe and I am here." Lily opened her eyes and saw her mommy holding her. She hugged her mommy and cried. + +"Mommy, I had a serious nightmare. A monster took my things and hurt my teddy bear. I was so afraid," Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, sweetie. That was a very scary dream. But it was not real. Your things are still here and your teddy bear is fine. See?" Mommy showed Lily her crayons and paper and her teddy bear. They were all in their places and not damaged. + +Lily felt better. She smiled and kissed her mommy and her teddy bear. She said, "Thank you, mommy. You are the best. Can I sleep with you tonight?" + +"Of course, honey. Come on, let's go to my bed. I will read you a nice story and sing you a lullaby. Then you will have sweet dreams," Mommy said. + +Lily nodded and followed her mommy. She was happy and calm. She hoped she would never have a serious nightmare again. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Ben had a toy lion that he liked to roar with, and Lily had a toy elephant that she liked to trumpet with. + +But then, Ben started to feel a tickle in his nose. He tried to ignore it, but it got worse and worse. He felt a big sneeze coming, and he couldn't stop it. He sneezed so loud and hard that he blew his toy lion across the room. It landed on Lily's toy elephant and knocked it over. + +Lily was very cross. She loved her toy elephant and she didn't like that Ben sneezed on it. She picked up her toy and said, "Ben, you are mean! You sneezed on my toy and made it fall. You have to say sorry!" + +Ben felt bad. He didn't mean to sneeze on Lily's toy or make it fall. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sneeze on your toy. I have a cold and I can't help it. Please don't be cross with me." + +Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was sad. She also saw that he had a red nose and watery eyes. She realized that he was sick and he needed a friend. She said, "Ben, I'm sorry too. I know you have a cold and you can't help it. I'm not cross with you. You are my friend and I want you to feel better." + +She gave him a hug and a tissue. She said, "Here, you can use this to wipe your nose. And you can play with my toy elephant if you want. It's incredible. It can make noises and move its trunk." + +Ben smiled and thanked Lily. He said, "You are incredible too. You are very kind and generous. Thank you for sharing your toy and being my friend." + +They played together with their toys and had fun again. They learned that sneezing is not a reason to be cross, and that sharing and caring is a reason to be happy. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big box. They pretend it is a house. They put some post in the box. The post is dull. It is old and grey. + +One day, a big dog comes to the garden. It is not their dog. It is a bad dog. It barks and growls. It sees the box. It thinks it is a bone. It runs to the box. It bites the box. + +Ben and Lily hear the dog. They are scared. They run to the box. They want to save their post. They shout at the dog. "Go away, dog! Leave our post alone!" + +But the dog does not listen. It is angry. It snaps at Ben and Lily. It hurts them. It makes them cry. + +Mum and Dad hear the cry. They come to the garden. They see the dog. They see Ben and Lily. They are sad and mad. They chase the dog away. They hug Ben and Lily. They take them to the doctor. + +The doctor gives them some medicine. He puts some bandages on them. He says they will be okay. But they have to stay in bed. They cannot play in the garden. They cannot play with their post. They are bored and sad. They have a bad day. +Sam and Mia were playing in the sandbox. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They had a bucket and a shovel each. Sam found something shiny in the sand. He picked it up and showed it to Mia. + +"Look, Mia, what is this?" he asked. + +Mia looked at the shiny thing. It was a ring. It had a blue stone and some small white stones. It was very pretty, but also very filthy. It had sand and dirt on it. + +"Maybe it is a treasure!" Mia said. "Maybe someone lost it here a long time ago." + +Sam and Mia decided to clean the ring. They went to the faucet and turned on the water. They rinsed the ring under the water. Some of the dirt came off, but not all of it. The ring still looked filthy. + +"Maybe we need something else to make it shiny," Sam said. + +He looked around and saw a jar on the table. It had a label that said "salt". He did not know what salt was, but he thought it might help. He took the jar and opened it. He poured some salt on the ring and rubbed it with his fingers. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "It hurts! It hurts!" + +He dropped the ring and the jar. He looked at his fingers. They had small cuts and were red and stinging. He ran to Mia and showed her his fingers. + +"Mia, help me! The salt hurt me!" he sobbed. + +Mia was scared. She did not know what to do. She hugged Sam and tried to comfort him. + +"Shh, shh, it's okay, Sam. We'll go to Mommy. She'll make it better. Come on, let's go." + +She took Sam's hand and led him to the house. She left the ring and the jar in the sandbox. She did not want to touch them again. She did not like the salt. She did not like the filthy ring. She only liked Sam. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the grass and the sand. But then they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was black and brown and had a loud bark. It looked angry and hungry. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Lily screamed. They dropped their toy cars and ran to the bench where their mom was sitting. The dog chased them and picked up one of their toy cars in its mouth. It shook it and tore it apart. Then it spat it out in a bin. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" Tom and Lily cried. They were sad and scared. Their mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. The dog can't hurt you. I will get you new toy cars." + +But the dog was not done. It saw another toy car on the grass. It ran to get it, but it was too late. A man with a leash came and caught the dog. He said, "Sorry, sorry. He escaped from me. He is not a bad dog, he is just playful. He likes to chew on things. I will buy you new toy cars." + +Tom and Lily looked at the man and the dog. They were still afraid, but they also felt sorry for them. They said, "It's okay, mister. We forgive you and your dog. But please don't let him run away again. He might hurt someone or himself." + +The man nodded and said, "Thank you, kids. You are very kind and brave. I will keep him on the leash and teach him to behave. Come on, boy. Let's go home. Surrender the toy car. Drop it. Good boy." + +The dog obeyed and dropped the toy car. It was filthy and broken. Tom and Lily did not want it anymore. They waved goodbye to the man and the dog and went back to their mom. She smiled and said, "You did well, my loves. You were not mean or rude. You were polite and forgiving. I am proud of you." + +Tom and Lily smiled and hugged their mom. They felt happy and safe. They did not need their old toy cars. They had each other and their mom. And they had a new story to tell. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the big rope that hung from a tree. They took turns to push each other and fly in the air. + +"Push me higher, Lily!" Tom said. + +"OK, Tom!" Lily said. She pushed Tom hard and he went very high. He laughed and felt happy. + +But then, something bad happened. The rope broke and Tom fell to the ground. He hit his head and his arm. He cried and felt pain. + +"Tom, Tom, are you OK?" Lily said. She ran to him and saw blood on his head and his arm. She was scared and did not know what to do. + +Tom was suffering. He could not move his arm and his head hurt a lot. He felt helpless and wanted his mom and dad. + +"Help, help, someone help us!" Lily shouted. She hoped someone would hear her and come to help Tom. + +Soon, a man and a woman came to the park. They heard Lily's shouts and saw Tom on the ground. They were kind and caring. They called an ambulance and gave Tom a bandage and a hug. + +"Don't worry, Tom, you will be OK. The ambulance will take you to the hospital and the doctors will make you better." The woman said. + +"Thank you, thank you for helping us." Lily said. She was grateful and relieved. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They learned that playing on the rope was dangerous and they should be careful. They also learned that there were good people who would help them when they were in trouble. They were brave and strong. They were friends. +Tom and Anna were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of stuff: cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. They liked to make noise and mess with their stuff. + +But Mom was not happy. She was trying to work on her laptop on the couch. She had a lot of papers and emails to do. She did not like the noise and the mess. + +"Tom, Anna, please be quiet and tidy up your stuff," she said. "I need to finish my work." + +Tom and Anna did not listen. They kept playing and making noise. They did not care about Mom's work. + +Mom sighed. She was tired and angry. She got up from the couch and walked to the kitchen. She smelled something smelly. It was the trash can. It was full of old food and wrappers. It needed to go out. + +"Tom, Anna, can you please take out the trash?" she asked. "It is very smelly and dirty." + +Tom and Anna did not want to take out the trash. They thought it was gross and hard. They did not want to stop playing. + +"No, Mom, we don't want to take out the trash," they said. "You do it." + +Mom sighed again. She was very tired and very angry. She grabbed the trash bag and took it out herself. She slammed the door behind her. + +Tom and Anna looked at each other. They felt bad. They knew they were rude and mean to Mom. They decided to say sorry and help Mom. + +They picked up their stuff and put it away. They made a card and wrote "We love you, Mom" on it. They waited for Mom to come back. + +When Mom came back, she saw the tidy living room and the card. She smiled. She hugged Tom and Anna and said, "Thank you, my sweeties. I love you too." + +Tom and Anna smiled too. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We'll be good and help you." + +Mom kissed them and said, "It's okay. I know you're just having fun. But sometimes you need to listen and do chores. They're part of life." + +Tom and Anna nodded. They learned their lesson. They played with their stuff quietly and happily. Mom went back to her work peacefully. They all sighed with relief. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the park near the big church. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. But one day, they saw a big truck come to the park. The truck had a long arm with a big ball at the end. The truck driver got out and said, "I'm sorry, kids, but you have to leave. We have to knock down the old church. It's too dirty and old." + +Ben and Lily were sad and scared. They liked the old church. It had a tall tower with a bell and a big door with a cross. They asked the truck driver, "Why do you have to knock down the church? Can't you make it clean and new?" + +The truck driver shook his head. "No, kids, it's too late. The church is not safe. It might fall down and hurt someone. We have to make room for a new building. It will be better and nicer." + +Ben and Lily did not think so. They thought the church was better and nicer than any new building. They ran to the church and hugged the door. They said, "Please, don't knock down the church. We love the church. It's our friend." + +The truck driver saw them and sighed. He walked to them and said, "Kids, I know you love the church, but you have to let go. It's not your friend. It's just a building. A dirty, old building. Come on, I'll take you to your parents. They're waiting for you at the gate." + +Ben and Lily looked at the truck driver. They looked at the church. They felt tears in their eyes. They let go of the door and followed the truck driver. They heard the big ball hit the church. They heard the church shake and crack. They saw the dust and the stones. They said goodbye to the church. They wished the church could hear them. +Ben and Lily were twins who shared a crib. They liked to play with their toys and talk to each other. One day, they found a ball under the crib. It was red and shiny and bounced very high. + +"Let's play catch with the ball!" Ben said. "It looks fun!" + +"Okay!" Lily agreed. "But we have to be careful. Mommy said not to throw things in the crib." + +They took turns throwing and catching the ball. They giggled and clapped their hands. They did not see that the ball was hitting the crib bars and making them loose. + +Soon, the ball bounced too hard and flew out of the crib. It landed on the floor near the door. + +"Oh no!" Ben said. "The ball is gone!" + +"Let's get it back!" Lily said. "We can climb out of the crib!" + +They tried to climb over the crib bars, but they were too high. They pushed and pulled on the bars, but they did not move. They started to cry. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "We want the ball!" + +But no one heard them. Mommy was in the kitchen, making lunch. Daddy was in the garage, fixing the car. They were busy and did not hear the twins. + +Then, something bad happened. One of the crib bars broke and fell on the floor. It made a loud noise. The twins stopped crying and looked at the broken bar. + +"Uh oh!" Ben said. "We broke the crib!" + +"Mommy will be mad!" Lily said. "We are in trouble!" + +They tried to fix the crib, but they could not. They were scared and sad. They wished they had not played catch with the ball. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with things that can break your crib. Listen to your mommy and daddy. They know what is best for you. +Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play on the farm. They had a big barn with many animals and lots of hay. They liked to make forts and tunnels with the hay and pretend they were on adventures. + +One day, they found a big pile of hay that looked very soft and cozy. They decided to make a nest with it and pretend they were birds. They took some hay and made a circle on the floor. Then they took some more hay and put it on top of the circle. They made a hole in the middle and crawled inside. + +"Look, we made a nest!" Lila said. "We are birds now. We can sing and fly and eat worms." + +"Yuck, I don't want to eat worms!" Tom said. "I want to eat cookies and milk. Can we pretend we have cookies and milk in our nest?" + +"Okay, we can pretend that," Lila said. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to spoil our nest with crumbs and spills. Then it won't be original anymore. It will be dirty and smelly." + +They pretended to eat cookies and milk and sang some songs. They were having fun until they heard a loud noise. It was the farmer. He came into the barn with a pitchfork and a wheelbarrow. He saw the pile of hay and said, "What is this? Who made this mess? I need this hay for the cows. They are hungry and cold. I have to move this hay to the other side of the barn." + +He started to poke the hay with his pitchfork and put it in his wheelbarrow. Lila and Tom were scared. They did not want the farmer to find them. They did not want him to be angry. They did not want him to ruin their nest. They quickly crawled out of the hole and ran to the other side of the barn. They hid behind some boxes and watched the farmer take away their hay. + +They felt sad and sorry. They did not mean to make a mess. They did not mean to waste the hay. They did not mean to upset the farmer. They just wanted to play and have fun. + +They looked at each other and said, "We are sorry, farmer. We are sorry, cows. We are sorry, hay. We will not do it again. We will find another way to play." +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to dig and make holes in the earth. The earth is warm and soft. They find many things in the earth: stones, worms, seeds. + +"Look, Lily, I pick a big stone!" Ben says. He holds the stone in his hand. It is brown and round. + +"Wow, Ben, that is a nice stone!" Lily says. She picks a small stone. It is white and shiny. "I pick a pretty stone!" + +They put their stones in a pile. They want to make a castle with them. They dig more holes and pick more stones. + +"Ben, Lily, come inside!" Mommy calls. "It is time for lunch!" + +"OK, Mommy!" they say. They run to the house. They are hungry and happy. They leave their stones in the garden. They will play with them later. They love to pick things from the earth. +Anna and Ben were restless on Tuesday. They did not want to do their school work. They wanted to play and have fun. They had an idea. They decided to hide from their teacher. + +They looked for a good place to hide. They saw a big box in the corner. They ran to the box and got inside. They closed the lid and waited. They thought they were very clever. + +But their teacher was not silly. She knew they were hiding. She walked to the box and knocked on it. She said, "Anna and Ben, are you in there? It is time to do your school work. You cannot hide from me." + +Anna and Ben heard their teacher. They felt a little scared. They opened the lid and peeked out. They saw their teacher smiling at them. She was not angry. She said, "I know you are restless, but you have to finish your work. Then you can play and have fun. Come on, let's go back to your seats." + +Anna and Ben got out of the box. They followed their teacher. They said, "Sorry, teacher. We were just playing. We will do our work now." They went back to their seats and did their work. They learned something new. They learned that hiding is not a good way to avoid work. They also learned that their teacher was kind and fair. They felt happy and proud. They finished their work and then they played and had fun. +Lily and Lola are twins. They look the same and like the same things. They have a big brother, Ben, who is kind to them. He plays with them and reads to them. + +One day, Lily and Lola want to go to the park. They ask Ben to take them. Ben says yes, but he has to finish his homework first. Lily and Lola wait for him. They play with their dolls and draw pictures. + +After a while, Ben is done with his homework. He tells Lily and Lola to get ready. They put on their coats and shoes. They take their dolls and a ball. They are happy to go to the park. + +Ben holds their hands and walks with them. He helps them cross the street and find a nice spot. He pushes them on the swings and catches them on the slide. He kicks the ball with them and makes them laugh. + +Lily and Lola have fun with Ben. They hug him and thank him. They tell him he is the best brother. Ben smiles and hugs them back. He tells them he loves them. They are a kind and happy family. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with blocks. They use the blocks to make a big building. They put the blocks on top of each other. They make a tower, a wall, a door and a roof. + +"Look at our building!" Tom says. "It is very big and strong!" + +"Yes, it is!" Sue says. "We are good builders!" + +They are happy and proud of their building. They pretend to live in it. They say hello to each other through the door. They make noises like cars and planes. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is curious. He sees the building. He wants to play with it. He runs to the building. He jumps on it. He knocks down the blocks. + +"Hey!" Tom and Sue shout. "Stop it! That is our building!" + +The dog does not listen. He barks and wags his tail. He thinks it is a game. He scatters the blocks everywhere. + +Tom and Sue are sad and angry. They look at their building. It is gone. They cry and hug each other. + +The dog feels sorry. He sees that they are upset. He goes to them. He licks their faces. He tries to make them happy. + +Tom and Sue stop crying. They look at the dog. He is cute and friendly. They pet him and smile. + +"Maybe he did not mean to break our building," Tom says. + +"Maybe he just wanted to play with us," Sue says. + +They decide to forgive the dog. They use the blocks to make a new building. They make it bigger and better. They invite the dog to join them. They play together and have fun. They are friends. +Lily was a large girl who liked to steal things. She stole toys, books, and candy from other children. She did not care if they cried or got angry. She only wanted to have more things for herself. + +One day, Lily saw a shiny tooth on Tom's desk. It was his first tooth that fell out. He was very proud of it and wanted to show it to his mom. Lily wanted to have the tooth too. She thought it was pretty and special. She waited until Tom was not looking and took the tooth from his desk. She put it in her pocket and ran away. + +Tom was very sad when he saw that his tooth was gone. He looked everywhere for it, but he could not find it. He asked his teacher and his friends, but they did not know where it was. He started to cry. He wanted his tooth back. + +Lily heard Tom crying and felt a little bad. She knew she did a bad thing. She looked at the tooth in her pocket and wondered why she stole it. She did not need it. It was not hers. It was Tom's. She decided to give it back to him. + +She walked up to Tom and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I stole your tooth. It was wrong. Here, you can have it back." She handed him the tooth and hoped he would forgive her. + +Tom was surprised and happy. He took his tooth and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. I'm glad you gave it back. It means a lot to me. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Lily nodded and smiled too. She said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. I'm sorry for stealing your things. I won't do it again. I want to share and play with you." + +Tom and Lily hugged and became friends. They learned that stealing is bad and sharing is good. They also learned that teeth are not toys, but treasures. +Jenny and Tom were helping Mom and Dad to decorate the tree for Christmas. They liked to hang the shiny ornaments on the branches and see them sparkle. Mom and Dad gave them each a special ornament that they had when they were little. Jenny had a red star and Tom had a blue train. + +"Look at my star, Tom. It is so pretty and bright," Jenny said, holding it up. + +"Mine is better. It is a train and it can go fast," Tom said, showing his ornament. + +"No, mine is better. Stars are more beautiful than trains," Jenny said, sticking out her tongue. + +"That is rude, Jenny. You should not say that. You should be nice to your brother," Mom said, frowning. + +"I don't care. I don't like his train. It is ugly and boring," Jenny said, snatching Tom's ornament from his hand. + +"Hey, give it back. That is mine. You are mean, Jenny," Tom said, trying to grab it back. + +They pulled and tugged at the ornament, but it was too slippery. It slipped out of their hands and fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces with a loud crash. + +They both gasped and looked at the broken ornament. Then they looked at Mom and Dad, who were very angry. + +"What have you done? You broke your brother's ornament. That was very naughty of you, Jenny. And you, Tom, you should not fight with your sister. You both need a time out," Dad said, pointing to the corner. + +Jenny and Tom felt very sorry and sad. They wished they had not been rude and careless. They wished they had not dropped the ornament. They wished they had been kind and gentle. They learned their lesson. +Tom and Lily wanted to see the animals at the zoo. They liked the big cats, the monkeys, and the birds. But they were afraid of the snakes. They thought the snakes were scary and mean. + +One day, they had a plan. They wanted to be brave and see the snakes. They asked their mom to take them to the zoo. They said they wanted to learn about the snakes. Their mom was happy and agreed. + +At the zoo, they walked to the snake house. They saw many snakes of different colors and sizes. Some were long and thin, some were short and fat. Some had stripes, some had spots. Some were sleeping, some were moving. + +Tom and Lily looked at the snakes from behind the glass. They felt nervous, but also curious. They saw a sign that said "Talk to the keeper". They saw a man who worked at the zoo. He had a snake around his neck. He smiled at them and said, "Hello, do you like snakes?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They wanted to be polite. The man said, "This is Sam. He is a python. He is very friendly and gentle. Do you want to touch him?" He held out the snake to them. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They were scared, but they also wanted to try. They remembered their plan. They wanted to be brave. They reached out their hands and touched the snake. The snake felt smooth and warm. He did not bite or hiss. He looked at them with his small eyes. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They felt proud and happy. They said, "Thank you, Mr. Keeper. We like Sam. He is a nice snake." The man said, "You're welcome. You are very brave. I'm glad you like Sam. He likes you too." He gave them a sticker that said "I love snakes". + +Tom and Lily showed their mom their sticker. They told her about Sam and the other snakes. They said they were not afraid of snakes anymore. They said they learned something new. Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm proud of you. You are very brave. You have a good plan." Tom and Lily smiled. They had a good day at the zoo. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Lily wanted to go first, but Ben was faster. He grabbed the ladder and climbed up. + +"Wait for me!" Lily shouted. She followed him, but he was already at the top. He slid down with a whoosh. + +"That was fun!" he said. He ran back to the ladder. + +"No, it's my turn!" Lily said. She tried to grab the ladder, but Ben pushed her away. He was rough and made her fall. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. She scraped her knee and it hurt. She started to cry. + +A lady heard her cry and came to help. She was wearing a pretty dress and a shiny crown. She was the queen of the park. + +"What's wrong, little one?" she asked Lily. She picked her up and hugged her. + +"Ben was mean to me. He grabbed the slide and pushed me," Lily sobbed. + +"That's not nice. He should share and be gentle," the queen said. She looked at Ben, who was still on the slide. He looked sorry and scared. + +"Ben, come here," the queen said. Ben came down slowly and walked to the queen. + +"Did you hurt Lily?" she asked him. + +"Yes, I did. I'm sorry," Ben said. He hung his head. + +"Why did you do that?" she asked him. + +"I wanted to slide more. It was fun," he said. + +"But don't you think Lily wanted to slide too? It's fun for everyone. You should take turns and play together," she said. + +Ben nodded. He felt bad for making Lily cry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. Can I say sorry to your knee?" he asked. + +Lily nodded. She stopped crying and showed him her knee. He kissed it gently and said sorry. + +"Thank you, Ben. That's very kind of you," Lily said. She smiled at him. + +"Can we be friends again?" he asked. + +"Yes, we can. Do you want to slide with me?" she asked. + +"Yes, I do. But we have to wait for our turn," he said. + +They looked at the queen. She smiled and nodded. + +"Go ahead, children. Have fun. But remember to be nice and share," she said. + +They thanked the queen and ran to the slide. They waited for their turn and slid together. They laughed and had fun. The queen watched them and was happy. She was the queen of the park, and she loved all the children. +Tim and Sam like to play golf with their dad. They have small clubs and balls that they hit on the grass. Sometimes they hit the balls far, and sometimes they hit them near. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they see a large bird on the grass. It has black and white feathers and a long neck. It is a goose. The goose looks at them and makes a loud noise. "Honk, honk!" + +Tim and Sam are curious. They want to see the goose up close. They walk slowly towards it. The goose watches them and makes more noise. "Honk, honk!" + +Tim reaches out his hand to touch the goose. But the goose does not like that. It snaps at Tim's hand with its beak. It pinches Tim hard. "Ow, ow, ow!" Tim cries. He pulls his hand back and runs to his dad. + +Sam sees what happens and feels sorry for his brother. He also feels scared of the goose. He does not want to touch it. He runs to his dad too. + +Dad hugs them and checks Tim's hand. He says, "Are you okay, Tim? That goose pinched you. It must have hurt. I'm sorry, buddy." + +Tim says, "It's okay, dad. It hurts a little, but I'm fine. The goose was mean. Why did it pinch me?" + +Dad says, "The goose was probably protecting its nest or its babies. It thought you were a threat. It was not trying to be mean, but it was not friendly either. You have to be careful around wild animals. They can be dangerous." + +Tim says, "I understand, dad. I won't touch the goose again. Can we play golf some more?" + +Dad says, "Sure, Tim. Let's play golf some more. But let's stay away from the goose. And Sam, you too. Okay?" + +Tim and Sam say, "Okay, dad. We love you." + +They hug their dad and go back to playing golf. They have fun and laugh a lot. They forget about the goose. They are happy. +Ben and Mia are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They pretend that they are going to the store to buy some candy. Ben says, "I have five coins. How much is the candy?" + +Mia looks at the candy jar and says, "The candy is one coin each. You can buy five candies." + +Ben smiles and says, "Okay, I will buy five candies. Here is your money." He gives Mia five coins and takes five candies from the jar. + +Mia says, "Thank you, Ben. Do you want to share some candy with me?" + +Ben says, "Yes, please. You are a good friend." They sit on the couch and eat some candy. + +Suddenly, they hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She comes in and says, "Hello, kids. What are you doing?" + +Ben and Mia say, "We are playing store, mom. We bought some candy with our coins." + +Mom says, "That sounds fun. But where did you get the coins?" + +Ben and Mia look at each other. They remember that they took the coins from mom's purse. They feel bad. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We took the coins from your purse. We did not ask you." + +Mom says, "That is not nice, kids. You should not take things that are not yours. You should ask me first. And you should not eat too much candy. It is bad for your teeth." + +Ben and Mia say, "We are sorry, mom. We will not do it again. Can we give you back the coins?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can. But you have to pay me one more coin each. That is the price for taking without asking." + +Ben and Mia say, "Okay, mom. We will pay you one more coin each. But we only have zero coins left. How can we pay you?" + +Mom says, "You can pay me by doing some chores. You can help me clean the living room and wash the dishes. That will make me happy." + +Ben and Mia say, "Okay, mom. We will help you. We love you, mom." + +Mom says, "I love you too, kids. Now, let's go to the kitchen. It is cold in here. We need some hot chocolate." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with a rope. The rope has a loop at the end. Tom says, "Let's hang on the rope and swing. It looks fun." Mia says, "OK, but be careful. The rope might break." + +They take turns to hang on the rope and swing. They laugh and shout. They feel the wind on their faces. They have a lot of fun. Then, Tom has an idea. He says, "Let's hang some celery on the rope. Maybe a bird will come and eat it." Mia says, "That's a good idea. I have some celery in my bag. Let's do it." + +They hang some celery on the rope. They wait and watch. They hope a bird will come and eat it. They see a squirrel, a rabbit, and a butterfly. But no bird comes. They feel sad. They say, "Maybe the birds don't like celery. Maybe they like something else." + +Then, they hear a loud caw. They look up and see a big black crow. The crow sees the celery on the rope. The crow flies down and lands on the rope. The crow pecks at the celery. The crow likes the celery. The crow is happy. + +But the rope is old and weak. The crow is heavy and strong. The rope snaps and breaks. The crow and the celery fall to the ground. The crow is scared and angry. The crow flies away. The celery is smashed and dirty. + +Tom and Mia are shocked and sorry. They say, "Oh no! We broke the rope. We scared the crow. We wasted the celery. We are bad." They feel guilty and sad. They say, "We should go home. We should tell our moms. We should say sorry." + +They pick up their bags and walk to the gate. They see a sign on the tree. The sign says, "Do not hang on the rope. The rope is old and weak. The rope might break. You might get hurt. Be safe and smart." They read the sign and feel more guilty and sad. They say, "We should have read the sign. We should have listened to the sign. We were not safe and smart. We were silly and dumb." + +They go home and tell their moms. They say sorry. Their moms are not angry. Their moms are kind and gentle. Their moms hug them and kiss them. Their moms say, "It's OK. You made a mistake. You learned a lesson. You are still good. We love you." They feel relieved and grateful. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you too." They feel comfortable and happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges with their blocks and cars. They pretended they were in a big city with many people and noises. + +Suddenly, they felt the floor shake and heard a loud rumble. The blocks and cars fell down and the pictures on the wall moved. Lily and Ben were scared and hugged each other. They did not know what was happening. They heard their mom shout from the kitchen. + +"Kids, come here! It's an earthquake! We have to go outside!" + +Lily and Ben ran to their mom and held her hand. She grabbed a bag with some water and snacks and led them to the door. They saw other people leaving their houses and cars. The street was cracked and some wires were broken. The earthquake was very strong and made a lot of damage. + +Mom told them to stay calm and follow her. She said they were going to a safe place where they could wait until the earthquake stopped. She said they were lucky they were not hurt and that they had each other. + +Lily and Ben nodded and tried to be brave. They looked at the sky and saw a big rainbow. They thought it was incredible and beautiful. They hoped the earthquake would end soon and that their toys and house would be okay. They also hoped that everyone else was safe and happy. They thanked their mom for sending them love and protection. They knew they would be alright. +Lily and Max are brother and sister. They like to play in the backyard. They have a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also have a dog named Spot. Spot is very friendly and likes to run and jump. + +One day, Lily and Max are playing on the swing. Lily wants to swing higher and higher. She asks Max to push her. "Please, Max, push me harder!" she says. Max pushes her as hard as he can. Lily feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She is very happy. + +But then, Max gets tired of pushing Lily. He wants to play on the slide. He tells Lily to stop swinging. "Lily, stop swinging! I want to play on the slide!" he says. Lily does not want to stop swinging. She likes to swing higher and higher. She tells Max to wait. "Max, wait! I want to swing more!" she says. + +They start to argue. They raise their voices. They make angry faces. Spot hears them and runs to them. He barks and wags his tail. He wants to play with them. He jumps on the swing and makes it stop. Lily and Max are surprised. They look at Spot. He looks at them with his big eyes and his tongue out. He looks happy. + +Lily and Max forget their argument. They laugh at Spot. They hug him and pet him. They decide to play with him. They take him to the slide and the sandbox. They have fun together. They are happy. +Sara and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the forest near their house. They saw many animals and plants in the forest. They had fun. + +One day, they saw a big bear in the forest. The bear was brown and furry. It had sharp teeth and claws. Sara and Tom were very nervous. They did not want the bear to see them or hurt them. + +They ran away from the bear. They looked for a safe place to hide. They found a big tree with a hole in it. They went inside the hole. They hoped the bear would not find them. + +They waited in the hole for a long time. They heard the bear growl and sniff outside. They were very scared. They hugged each other. They said, "We are brave. We are together. We will be okay." + +After a while, the bear left. Sara and Tom peeked out of the hole. They saw the sun shining and the birds singing. They were happy. They hugged each other again. They said, "We are safe. We are friends. We love each other." + +They went back to their house. They told their mom and dad what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them too. They said, "We are proud of you. You are smart. You are strong." + +Sara and Tom smiled. They were glad. They had a big adventure. They had a big hug. They had a big love. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy yacht in the bathtub. They liked to pretend they were sailing on a big lake, and they made noises like waves and wind. Tom was the captain and Lily was the first mate. + +"Look, Lily, there is a big rock ahead! We have to steer away or we will crash!" Tom shouted. + +"I see it, Tom! I will turn the wheel!" Lily said. + +But as they turned the wheel, something strange happened. The toy yacht began to shrink. It became smaller and smaller, until it was the size of a coin. Tom and Lily were shocked. They could not play with their yacht anymore. + +"What happened, Tom? Why did our yacht shrink?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it was magic. Or maybe it was a bad toy. Let's ask Mom." Tom said. + +They got out of the bathtub and wrapped themselves in towels. They ran to their mom, who was reading a book in the living room. They showed her the tiny yacht and told her what happened. + +"Mom, Mom, look at our yacht! It shrank in the bathtub! Why did it shrink?" Tom and Lily said. + +Mom looked at the yacht and smiled. She was not surprised. She knew why it shrank. She had bought it from a special store that sold toys that changed size when they got wet. She thought it would be fun for Tom and Lily to play with. + +"Your yacht shrank because it is a special yacht. It can grow big or small when it touches water. It is not a bad toy, it is a fun toy. Do you want to see?" Mom said. + +She took the yacht and put it in a glass of water. The yacht grew back to its normal size. Tom and Lily were amazed. They clapped their hands and laughed. + +"Wow, Mom, that is so cool! Can we play with it again?" Tom and Lily said. + +"Of course you can. But be careful not to lose it when it is small. And don't put it in your mouth. It is not a candy." Mom said. + +Tom and Lily thanked Mom and hugged her. They took the yacht and ran back to the bathroom. They decided to play a new game. They pretended they were explorers who could shrink and grow their yacht to discover new lands. They had a lot of fun with their special yacht. +Lily liked to dance. She danced every day in her room. She danced with her dolls and her teddy bear. She danced to the songs on the radio. She danced when she was happy and when she was sad. + +One day, Lily went to a dance class with her mom. She was very excited. She wanted to learn new moves and make new friends. She wore her pink tutu and her shiny shoes. She felt like a princess. + +But when she got to the class, she saw a big girl with curly hair and a mean face. The girl looked at Lily and said, "You can't dance. You are too small and too ugly. You should quit and go home." + +Lily felt very hurt. She wanted to cry. She did not understand why the girl was so mean. She looked at her mom, who smiled and said, "Don't listen to her, Lily. You are beautiful and you can dance. You have a lot of talent and joy. Don't let anyone stop you from doing what you love." + +Lily nodded and smiled back. She decided to ignore the mean girl and have fun. She joined the other kids and followed the teacher. She learned new moves and made new friends. She danced with her heart and her soul. She danced like a princess. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was a big red truck that could make loud noises and reverse. They always shared the truck and took turns driving it around the house. + +One day, they decided to play outside in the yard, where their dad had built a barn for their animals. They brought the truck and some other cars and pretended they were farmers. They drove the truck to the barn and parked it next to the cows and chickens. Then they played with the other cars on the grass and dirt. + +"Can I have the truck now?" Lily asked Sam after a while. + +"OK, but be careful. It's our special truck," Sam said and handed her the truck. + +Lily smiled and thanked him. She drove the truck away from the barn and towards the fence. She wanted to see what was on the other side. She pressed the button and made the truck go faster and faster. She felt happy and excited. + +But she did not see the big rock that was in her way. She crashed the truck into the rock and heard a loud bang. The truck broke into pieces and stopped working. Lily felt scared and sad. She did not know what to do. + +She picked up the pieces and ran back to the barn. She saw Sam playing with the cows and chickens. She wanted to tell him what happened, but she was afraid he would be angry and not love her anymore. + +"Sam, I have something to tell you," she said in a small voice. + +"What is it, Lily?" Sam asked and looked at her. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I broke the truck. I was driving too fast and hit a rock. It's all my fault," she said and showed him the pieces. + +Sam was shocked and sad. He loved the truck and it was unique. He felt like crying and yelling at Lily. But he saw her face and how sorry she was. He remembered that she was his sister and he loved her more than the truck. + +He hugged her and said, "It's OK, Lily. I'm not mad at you. Accidents happen. The truck was unique, but you are more unique. You are my twin and my best friend. We can still play with the other cars and have fun. Maybe dad can fix the truck or get us a new one. But he can't fix or get us a new sister. I love you, Lily." + +Lily hugged him back and said, "I love you too, Sam. Thank you for being so kind and forgiving. You are the best brother ever. I'm sorry I broke the truck. I will be more careful next time." + +They smiled and wiped their tears. They put the pieces of the truck in a box and went to the house to tell their dad what happened. They hoped he would not be too angry and understand. They knew he loved them and would help them. They learned that things can break, but love can't. They learned to be careful, honest, and forgiving. They learned that they were unique and special. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would throw it, catch it, kick it, and roll it. They had so much fun with the ball. + +One day, they decided to play a new game with the ball. They wanted to see who could hold the ball in their mouth for the longest time. They thought it would be funny and easy. They took turns putting the ball in their mouth and counting. + +Tom went first. He opened his mouth wide and pushed the ball in. He started to count. "One, two, three..." He felt the ball was big and hard. He could not breathe well. He tried to take the ball out, but it was stuck. He panicked and made a loud noise. + +Sue heard Tom and saw his face. She was scared. She ran to him and tried to help him. She pulled the ball with her hands, but it did not move. She did not know what to do. She cried and shouted for help. + +A man who was walking by heard Sue and saw Tom. He was a doctor. He was gifted at saving people. He ran to them and saw the problem. He knew how to fix it. He put his fingers in Tom's mouth and pushed the ball out. He made Tom spit the ball out. He checked Tom's breathing and pulse. He smiled and said, "You are okay, Tom. You are very lucky. Do not put the ball in your mouth again. It is dangerous. It can make you choke." + +Tom and Sue were relieved and grateful. They thanked the doctor and hugged him. They learned a lesson. They decided to never play that game again. They discussed other ways to play with the ball. They agreed to only use their hands and feet. They continued to play with the ball, but more safely and wisely. They were happy and smart. +Mia and Leo are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with green balls. Mia says, "What are those?" + +Leo says, "They are avocados. My mom makes salad with them. They are yummy." + +Mia says, "Can we pick some?" + +Leo says, "Yes, but we need a plan. The tree is too high. We need something to reach the avocados." + +They look around and see a bench, a stick, and a rope. They have an idea. They move the bench under the tree. They tie the rope to the stick. They throw the stick with the rope over a branch. They pull the rope and shake the branch. Some avocados fall down. They catch them in their hands. + +They are happy. They have four avocados. They sit on the bench and peel them. They take a bite. They make a face. The avocados are dry and bitter. They do not like them. + +They say, "Yuck! These avocados are not yummy. They are dry and bad." + +They throw the avocados away. They go to the fountain and drink some water. They wash their mouths. They say, "Let's play something else. We do not like avocados." + +They run to the slide and have fun. They forget about the avocados. They are friends. They like to play in the park. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big tree and pretend they were birds. They found a branch that was long and strong. They decided to use it as a swing. + +"Look, Lily, I can swing high and low!" Tim said. He held the branch with both hands and pushed with his feet. + +"Me too, me too!" Lily said. She waited for her turn. She wanted to swing like Tim. + +But then they heard a loud bark. A big dog was running towards them. It looked angry and hungry. It wanted to catch them. + +"Help, help!" Tim and Lily shouted. They were scared of the dog. They did not know what to do. + +They saw another branch that was higher and thicker. They decided to climb it and hide. They used the swing branch to reach it. They pulled themselves up and sat on the branch. They hugged each other. + +The dog jumped and barked. It could not reach them. It was mad and sad. It went away. + +"Phew, that was close!" Tim said. He was glad they were safe. + +"Yes, it was!" Lily said. She was glad they had the swing branch. It was useful. + +They smiled and laughed. They decided to stay on the branch and watch the birds. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. They lived in a big house near a valley. A valley is a place where the land goes down and then up again. Sometimes they saw animals and flowers in the valley. + +One day, they decided to go for a walk in the valley. They put on their hats and shoes and told their mom where they were going. Mom said, "Be careful and come back soon. The sun will go down and it will be dark." + +Lily and Tom nodded and ran to the valley. They saw a red bird on a tree. It sang a pretty song. They saw a red bug on a leaf. It had spots and wings. They saw a red flower on the grass. It smelled sweet. + +"Look, Tom, everything is red today!" Lily said. + +"Yes, Lily, red is a nice color. Do you like red?" Tom asked. + +"I do, but I also like blue and yellow and green. What about you?" Lily said. + +"I like all the colors too. They make the world beautiful," Tom said. + +They smiled and held hands. They walked some more and saw a red ball on the ground. It was big and shiny. They wondered who left it there. + +"Can we play with it, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, Tom, let's play with it. Maybe it belongs to someone who lives in the valley," Lily said. + +They kicked the ball and threw the ball and rolled the ball. They had fun with the ball. They did not notice that the sun was getting lower and lower in the sky. + +Soon, the sky was red too. It looked like fire. Lily and Tom stopped playing and looked up. + +"Wow, Tom, the sky is red too. It is so pretty," Lily said. + +"Yes, Lily, the sky is red too. But it also means that it is getting late. We should go back home," Tom said. + +They picked up the ball and started to walk back. They hoped to find the owner of the ball and say thank you. They also hoped that mom was not angry with them. + +They walked fast and reached the big house. They saw mom waiting for them at the door. She looked worried but happy. + +"Where have you been, Lily and Tom? I was so scared. It is almost dark," mom said. + +"We are sorry, mom. We went to the valley and played with a red ball. We lost track of time. We are sorry," Lily and Tom said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I am glad you are safe. But you should not go so far and stay so long. You should always watch the sun and come back before it goes down. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, mom, we understand. We will not do it again. We love you, mom," Lily and Tom said. + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily and Tom. Now, let's go inside and have some dinner. You must be hungry." + +They went inside and had some dinner. They told mom about the red bird, the red bug, the red flower, and the red ball. They also told her about the red sky. Mom listened and said, "You had a very red day, Lily and Tom. But tomorrow, you might see other colors in the valley. The valley is full of surprises." + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "We like the valley, mom. It is a wonderful place." + +Mom agreed and said, "Yes, the valley is a wonderful place. But you know what is more wonderful? Having you as my children." + +They hugged mom and said, "We love you, mom." + +They finished their dinner and went to bed. They closed their eyes and dreamed of the valley and the colors. They were happy. +Lila and Tom were playing with their toys in the garden. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big cube. The cube was interesting. It had different colors on each side, and it could make sounds and lights when they pressed the buttons. + +"Look, Tom, I can make the cube soar!" Lila said. She threw the cube high in the air and caught it again. The cube made a beep and flashed red. + +"Wow, Lila, that's amazing!" Tom said. He wanted to try too. He took the cube from Lila and threw it as hard as he could. But he threw it too far, and the cube landed on the roof of the house. + +"Oh no, Tom, you lost the cube!" Lila said. She was sad and angry. She liked the cube very much. + +"I'm sorry, Lila, I didn't mean to!" Tom said. He was scared and sorry. He didn't know how to get the cube back. + +They looked at the roof and saw the cube still flashing and beeping. They wished they could fly and get it. + +Then they heard a voice from the window. It was their mom. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" she asked. + +"Mom, we lost the cube!" Lila and Tom said together. + +"Don't worry, I'll get it for you," mom said. She opened the window and reached for the cube. She grabbed it and threw it back to the garden. + +"Here you go, kids, be careful next time," she said. + +"Thank you, mom, you're the best!" Lila and Tom said. They hugged the cube and each other. They were happy again. + +They decided to play with the cube on the ground, and not to throw it too high. They learned that soaring was fun, but sometimes risky. They also learned to share and say sorry. They had an interesting day. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big gray dog. The dog looked friendly, but Lily was scared. + +"Ben, I don't like that dog. He is too big and gray. He might bite us," Lily said. + +Ben was not scared. He liked dogs. He wanted to pet the dog. + +"Lily, don't be scared. The dog is nice. He just wants to play. Trust me, I know dogs," Ben said. + +He walked slowly to the dog. He held out his hand. The dog sniffed his hand. Then he licked it. Ben smiled. He petted the dog's fur. + +"See, Lily? The dog is good. He likes me. Come and pet him too," Ben said. + +Lily was still scared. She stayed behind Ben. She watched him and the dog. + +"Are you sure, Ben? He is still big and gray. And he has sharp teeth," Lily said. + +Ben nodded. He hugged the dog. + +"Yes, Lily. I am sure. The dog is gentle. He won't hurt us. He is just lonely. He needs friends. Trust me, Lily. Trust the dog. He is organized. He knows how to behave," Ben said. + +Lily thought for a moment. She trusted Ben. He was her best friend. He knew a lot of things. Maybe he was right. Maybe the dog was nice. Maybe she could be his friend too. + +She took a deep breath. She walked slowly to Ben and the dog. She reached out her hand. The dog sniffed her hand. Then he licked it. Lily giggled. She petted the dog's fur. + +"Hi, dog. You are nice. I like you. What is your name?" Lily said. + +The dog wagged his tail. He barked happily. He liked Lily and Ben. They were nice. They were his friends. + +The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today, they are very busy. They have to help Mom and Dad with many things. + +"Can you help me fold the clothes?" Mom asks Sara. + +"Can you help me wash the dishes?" Dad asks Ben. + +Sara and Ben nod and do their best. They are good helpers. But they are also very tired. + +"Mom, Dad, can we play now?" Sara asks when they finish. + +"Sorry, sweeties, we have to cook dinner now. Maybe later," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They want to have fun. They look at each other and have an idea. + +"Let's play in our room," Ben suggests. + +"OK, let's go," Sara agrees. + +They run to their room and close the door. They take out their toys and books and start to play. They make noise and laugh. + +"Shh, be quiet," Sara says. "We don't want Mom and Dad to hear us." + +"They are too busy. They won't notice," Ben says. + +They play and play until they hear a knock on the door. + +"Kids, it's time for dinner. And then, it's time for bed," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben look at each other and sigh. They put away their toys and books and open the door. + +"OK, Mom, we're coming," they say. + +They follow Mom to the kitchen and sit at the table. They eat their dinner and say thank you. Then, they brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. + +"Good night, Sara. Good night, Ben. We love you," Mom and Dad say. + +They tuck them in their bed and kiss them good night. They turn off the light and leave the room. + +Sara and Ben cuddle in their bed and close their eyes. They are happy. They had a busy day, but they also had fun. They dream of playing again tomorrow. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and see how far it could go. Sometimes, the ball would roll into the bushes or under the slide, and they would have to look for it. + +One day, they kicked the ball very hard and it flew over the fence. They ran to the fence and saw a big house with a garden. They saw their ball lying on the grass near a pond. They wanted to get their ball back, but the fence was too high for them to climb. + +"Hello, is anyone there?" Tom shouted. "Can you please give us our ball?" + +They waited for a while, but no one answered. They heard a splash from the pond and saw something moving in the water. It looked like a big fish, but it had scales that shone like gold and a long tail that flicked in the air. It was a mysterious creature that they had never seen before. + +The creature saw the ball and swam towards it. It opened its mouth and bit the ball. The ball made a loud noise and started to lose air. The creature seemed to like the noise and bit the ball again and again. The ball got smaller and smaller as the air came out. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily cried. "That's our ball! You're ruining it!" + +The creature looked at them and made a sound that sounded like a laugh. It did not stop biting the ball. It seemed to enjoy making the ball smaller. + +Tom and Lily felt sad and angry. They wanted their ball back, but they did not know how to get it. They wished they had not kicked the ball so hard. They wished they had not seen the mysterious creature. They wished they could play with their ball again. +Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. One day, they went to visit their grandma. Grandma was elderly. She had white hair and glasses. She lived in a small house with a garden. + +"Hello, my darlings," Grandma said. "I'm so happy to see you. How are you?" + +"We are good, Grandma," Ben and Lily said. "We are four years old now. We go to preschool." + +"That's wonderful," Grandma said. "You are growing up so fast. Do you want to see my flowers?" + +"Yes, please," Ben and Lily said. They followed Grandma to the garden. There were many flowers of different colors and shapes. Grandma knew the names of all of them. + +"This is a rose," Grandma said, pointing to a red flower. "It smells nice. Do you want to smell it?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They leaned over and sniffed the rose. It smelled sweet and fresh. + +"This is a sunflower," Grandma said, pointing to a yellow flower. "It is big and bright. It follows the sun. Do you want to touch it?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They reached out and touched the sunflower. It felt soft and fuzzy. + +"This is a daisy," Grandma said, pointing to a white flower. "It is small and pretty. It has many petals. Do you want to count them?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They picked a daisy and started to count the petals. They counted one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. + +"Good job," Grandma said. "You are very smart. Do you know what I recommend?" + +"What, Grandma?" Ben and Lily asked. + +"I recommend that you make a flower crown with the daisies. It will look lovely on you. Do you want to try?" + +"Yes, please," Ben and Lily said. They smiled and hugged Grandma. They loved her very much. They made flower crowns with the daisies and wore them on their heads. They looked like little princes and princesses. Grandma took a picture of them and put it on her fridge. She was very proud of them. +Ben and Mia went to the park with Mom. They saw a big slide that looked like a whale. Ben wanted to slide down the whale's mouth, but Mia was scared. + +"Come on, Mia, it's fun!" Ben said. "You can pretend you are a fish and the whale is eating you." + +"No, Ben, I don't want to. The whale is too big and scary. What if it bites me?" Mia said. She hugged Mom's leg. + +Mom smiled and said, "The whale is not real, Mia. It's just a slide. It won't bite you. It's made of plastic and metal. See, Ben is sliding down and he is fine." + +Mia looked at Ben, who was laughing and sliding down the whale's mouth. He looked happy and brave. Mia felt confused. She wanted to be happy and brave too, but she also felt scared and shy. + +"Maybe I can try it, Mom," Mia said. "But can you hold my hand?" + +"Of course, Mia. I'll hold your hand and we'll slide down together. You can do it, Mia. You are a brave girl," Mom said. + +Mia nodded and took Mom's hand. They walked to the whale's mouth and sat on the slide. Mia felt Mom's hand squeeze hers. She closed her eyes and said, "Ready, Mom?" + +"Ready, Mia. Let's go!" Mom said. + +They slid down the whale's mouth and felt the wind in their hair. Mia opened her eyes and saw the ground coming closer. She screamed, but it was not a scream of fear. It was a scream of joy. She felt a rush of excitement and fun. She slid off the slide and landed on the grass. She looked at Mom and smiled. + +"That was fun, Mom! Can we do it again?" Mia said. + +Mom hugged her and said, "Sure, Mia. You did great. You are a brave girl. And you know what? The whale is not scary. It's friendly. It likes to slide with you." + +Mia looked at the whale and saw its big eyes and smile. She felt happy and friendly too. She waved at the whale and said, "Thank you, whale. You are fun. Can I slide with you again?" + +The whale nodded and said, "Yes, Mia. You are welcome. You are fun too. Come and slide with me again." +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big animal with long ears and a fluffy tail. It was a rabbit. Sara wanted to pet it, but Ben had a bad idea. + +"Let's poke it with a stick!" he said. "It will be funny!" + +Sara was scared. She knew that poking animals was not nice. It could hurt them and make them angry. She said to Ben, "No, don't do that! The rabbit is not a toy. It is a living thing. We should be kind to it." + +But Ben did not listen. He picked up a stick and ran towards the rabbit. He poked it hard on the back. The rabbit was very surprised and scared. It jumped up and bit Ben on the finger. Ben screamed and dropped the stick. He ran back to Sara, crying. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The rabbit bit me! It is a terrible animal!" he said. + +Sara felt sorry for Ben, but she also felt sorry for the rabbit. She said to Ben, "The rabbit is not terrible. You were terrible to it. You poked it with a stick for no reason. That was mean and rude. You should say sorry to the rabbit and to me." + +Ben realized that Sara was right. He had done a bad thing. He looked at the rabbit, who was hiding under a bush. He said, "I'm sorry, rabbit. I'm sorry, Sara. I won't poke animals anymore. I will be gentle and respectful to them." + +Sara smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "That's good, Ben. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Animals are our friends, not our enemies. We should treat them with love and care." + +The end. +Anna likes to write. She writes with her crayons on paper. She writes her name, and the names of her toys, and the things she sees. She writes big and small, and in many colors. + +One day, it rains a lot. Anna cannot go outside and play. She is sad. She looks out the window and sees the rain. She sees people with umbrellas. She thinks umbrellas are fun. She wants an umbrella. + +She asks her mom, "Mom, can I have an umbrella?" + +Her mom says, "Why do you want an umbrella, Anna? It is raining. You cannot go outside." + +Anna says, "I want to write with an umbrella. I want to write on the rain." + +Her mom smiles. She says, "That is a fine idea, Anna. But you cannot write on the rain. The rain will wash away your writing. How about you write on the window instead? You can use your finger to make shapes on the glass. The rain will make it wet and shiny." + +Anna likes that idea. She says, "Yes, mom. I will write on the window. Thank you, mom." + +She runs to the window and starts to write. She writes her name, and the names of her toys, and the things she sees. She writes big and small, and in many colors. She pretends her finger is an umbrella. She is happy. She writes and writes, until the rain stops. +Tom likes to play with his toy soldiers. He has many soldiers in different colors and shapes. He likes to make them fight and serve their king. He also has a big helmet that he wears when he plays. The helmet is red and shiny and makes him feel strong. + +One day, Tom's mom tells him to go outside and play. She says it is a mild day, not too hot and not too cold. Tom puts on his helmet and takes his soldiers with him. He finds a nice spot in the garden where he can make a fort. He puts some of his soldiers inside the fort and some outside. He pretends that the fort is the king's castle and that the soldiers have to protect it from the enemies. + +But then, Tom sees a big dog coming towards him. The dog is black and furry and has a loud bark. Tom thinks the dog is an enemy and wants to attack his fort. He gets scared and runs away, leaving his soldiers and his helmet behind. The dog sniffs the soldiers and the helmet and thinks they are toys. He picks up the helmet in his mouth and shakes it. He makes a lot of noise and mess. + +Tom's mom hears the noise and comes outside. She sees the dog and the helmet and the soldiers. She is not happy. She tells the dog to drop the helmet and go away. She picks up the helmet and the soldiers and gives them to Tom. She tells Tom to be careful and not to leave his things outside. She says the dog is not an enemy, but a friend. She says the dog just wanted to play. + +Tom feels sorry for the dog and for his soldiers. He says he is sorry to his mom and to the dog. He says he will share his toys with the dog and play nicely. He puts his helmet on the dog's head and makes him a soldier. He says the dog can serve the king with him. The dog wags his tail and licks Tom's face. Tom smiles and hugs the dog. He says the dog is his friend. They play together in the garden until it is time to go inside. +Lily and Ben were playing in the sandbox. They had buckets and shovels and made a big castle. Lily was very proud of her castle. She put a flag on top and said, "This is the best castle ever!" + +Ben wanted to play with the flag. He reached for it, but Lily stopped him. "No, Ben, this is my flag. You can't have it!" she said. + +Ben was angry. He grabbed the flag and ran away. Lily chased him, shouting, "Give it back, give it back!" + +Ben ran to the pool, where his mom was sitting on a chair. He threw the flag into the water and said, "Ha, ha, now you can't get it!" + +Lily was very sad. She cried and said, "That was not nice, Ben. You ruined my flag!" + +Ben's mom heard the noise and saw what happened. She was not happy. She said, "Ben, that was very mean. You need to apologize to Lily and get her flag out of the pool." + +Ben realized he did a bad thing. He felt sorry for Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mad, but I shouldn't have done that." + +He got a towel and went to the pool. He fished out the flag and dried it with the towel. He gave it back to Lily and said, "Here, Lily. This is your flag. It's a nice flag." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please. Can we share the flag?" + +Lily agreed and said, "Yes, we can. Sharing is good." + +They hugged and went back to the sandbox. They played with the flag and the castle. They were happy. + +Ben's mom watched them and smiled. She thought, "They are wise kids. They learned how to say sorry and how to share." +Lily and Ben are playing with their dolls. They have a fancy tea party with cups and plates and cookies. Lily likes to count how many cookies they have. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six," she says, pointing to each cookie. "We have six cookies. That is a lot of cookies!" + +Ben nods and picks up a cookie. He takes a big bite and smiles. "Yum, yum, yum," he says. "This cookie is very good. How many cookies do I have now?" + +Lily looks at his cookie. It has a big hole in it. She thinks for a moment. "You have half a cookie," she says. "Half is not a whole. Half is less than a whole." + +Ben frowns. He does not like half. He likes whole. He wants another cookie. He reaches for the plate, but Lily stops him. + +"Wait, wait, wait," she says. "You have to share. We have to share the cookies. How many cookies do we each get if we share?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He knows how to count, but he does not know how to share. He looks at Lily and the plate. He sees six cookies, but one is half. He is confused. + +"I don't know," he says. "How do we share?" + +Lily smiles. She knows how to share. She learned it from her mom. She picks up the plate and shows it to Ben. + +"Look, look, look," she says. "We have six cookies, but one is half. We can make two piles of cookies. One pile for you and one pile for me. Each pile has three cookies, but one is half. Do you see?" + +Ben looks at the plate. He sees two piles of cookies. He sees three cookies in each pile, but one is half. He nods. He sees. + +"I see, I see, I see," he says. "We each get three cookies, but one is half. That is fair. That is sharing." + +Lily and Ben smile. They are happy. They have learned how to share. They pick up their cookies and eat them. They use their mouths to say "yum, yum, yum". They have a fancy tea party with their dolls. They have fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big sack near a tree. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be polite. Maybe it belongs to someone." Lily said. + +They ran to the sack and pulled the string. They saw many pieces of wood in the sack. They were different shapes and colors. + +"Wow, look at these! We can build something with them!" Tom said. + +He took some wood and started to make a house. Lily took some wood and started to make a boat. + +They were having fun until a man came to the tree. He was angry. He saw his sack was open and his wood was gone. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing with my wood? That's mine! Give it back!" he shouted. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know the man was the owner of the sack and the wood. + +"We're sorry, sir. We just wanted to play. We didn't know it was yours." Lily said. + +She was polite and tried to calm the man down. + +Tom was not polite. He liked the wood and did not want to give it back. + +"No, we found it. It's ours now. Go away!" he said. + +He was rude and tried to keep the wood. + +The man was very angry. He grabbed the sack and the wood. He threw them in his truck. He drove away. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They lost their toys. They also lost their friendship. + +Lily was mad at Tom. She did not like how he talked to the man. + +Tom was mad at Lily. He did not like how she gave up the wood. + +They did not play together anymore. They learned a hard lesson. They should have been polite and shared. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with drums. They bang on the drums with sticks. They make loud noises. They have fun. + +One day, they find a big jug of water. They want to pour the water on the drums. They think it will make a different sound. They lift the jug and pour the water on the drums. The water splashes everywhere. The drums get wet and soggy. They do not make any sound. Tom and Sam are sad. + +"Why did you pour the water on the drums?" Mom asks. She is angry. She sees the mess. She sees the ruined drums. + +"We wanted to make a different sound," Tom says. + +"We wanted to have more fun," Sam says. + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "You should not pour water on the drums. You should not ruin things that are not yours. You should respect other people's things. You should be careful with water. Water is good for drinking and washing, not for playing." + +Tom and Sam feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We did not mean to be bad. We will not do it again." + +Mom hugs them. She says, "I forgive you. But you have to learn from your mistake. You have to be more responsible. You have to be more creative. You can make different sounds with different things. You can use your voice, your hands, your feet, your toys. You can make your own rhythm. You can have fun without hurting anything." + +Tom and Sam nod. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are right. We will try to be more responsible and creative. We will make our own rhythm. We will have fun without hurting anything." + +They go to their room. They find some pots, pans, spoons, bells, and books. They use them to make different sounds. They make their own rhythm. They have fun. They are happy. +Ben likes to play with his dog Max. Max has soft fur and a long tail. Ben likes to throw a ball for Max to catch. Max runs fast and jumps high. He is very alert and smart. + +One day, Ben and Max go to the park. They see many other dogs and people. Ben throws the ball for Max, but Max does not see it. He sees a squirrel instead. The squirrel has brown fur and a bushy tail. Max thinks the squirrel is a toy. He runs after the squirrel. + +The squirrel is scared of Max. It runs up a tree. Max barks at the tree. He wants the squirrel to come down. Ben calls Max to come back. He has the ball in his hand. He throws the ball again. He hopes Max will see it. + +Max hears Ben's voice. He looks at Ben. He sees the ball in the air. He forgets the squirrel. He runs to the ball. He catches it in his mouth. He brings it back to Ben. Ben is happy. He pets Max's fur. He says, "Good boy, Max. You are the best dog ever." Max wags his tail. He is happy too. He loves Ben and the ball. He wants to play more. +Lily and Tom were playing in the yard. They liked to dig in the dirt and find bugs and rocks. They had a big pile of wood next to the fence. They used the wood to make forts and bridges. + +One day, a new boy moved in next door. His name was Ben. He was very nosy. He always wanted to see what Lily and Tom were doing. He climbed on the fence and stared at them. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" he asked. + +"We are playing with our wood," Lily said. + +"Can I play with you?" Ben said. + +"No, you can't," Tom said. "This is our wood. Go away." + +Ben did not go away. He jumped over the fence and ran to the pile of wood. He grabbed a big stick and swung it around. + +"Look at me, I'm a knight!" he shouted. + +He hit Lily's fort and knocked it down. He hit Tom's bridge and broke it. He hit Lily and Tom and made them cry. + +"Stop it, stop it!" Lily and Tom yelled. + +They ran to their mom and told her what Ben did. Their mom was very angry. She went to Ben's mom and told her what Ben did. Ben's mom was very sorry. She made Ben say sorry to Lily and Tom. She made Ben give back the wood and help them fix their fort and bridge. + +Lily and Tom did not like Ben. They did not want to play with him. They stayed away from him. They hoped he would move away soon. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big machine in the park. It has many buttons and lights. Tom and Sue are curious. + +"What is this?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a toy machine. Let's try it!" Sue says. + +They push some buttons and pull some levers. The machine makes funny noises and moves. Tom and Sue laugh and clap. They have fun. + +But then, the machine stops. It makes a loud beep. A voice says: "Please insert coins to continue." + +Tom and Sue look at each other. They have no coins. They are sad. + +"Maybe we can find some coins in the park," Tom says. + +"Or maybe we can ask someone to help us," Sue says. + +They look around. They see a man sitting on a bench. He has a newspaper and a bag of chips. He looks nice. + +"Excuse me, sir. Can you help us?" Tom says. + +The man looks at them. He smiles. + +"Sure, what do you need?" he says. + +"We want to play with the machine, but we have no coins. Can you give us some coins, please?" Sue says. + +The man nods. He takes out some coins from his pocket. He gives them to Tom and Sue. + +"Here you go, kids. Have fun with the machine. But be careful, it might chew your fingers," he says. + +"Thank you, sir. You are very honest and kind," Tom says. + +"Yes, thank you, sir. We will be careful," Sue says. + +They run back to the machine. They put the coins in the slot. The machine starts again. Tom and Sue play with the machine. They are happy. They do not let the machine chew their fingers. They are smart. +Lila and Tom are playing with blocks. They want to make a tall tower. They put many blocks on top of each other. They are happy. + +But then, Tom sees a red block on the shelf. He likes red blocks. He wants to put it on the tower. He tries to reach the shelf. He stands on his toes. He stretches his arms. But he cannot reach the shelf. He is sad. + +"Help me, Lila!" he says. "I want the red block!" + +Lila looks at Tom. She sees the red block. She also likes red blocks. She wants to help Tom. She has an idea. + +"Let's use a chair!" she says. "We can move the chair to the shelf. Then we can stand on the chair. Then we can reach the red block!" + +Tom thinks this is a good idea. He nods. They move the chair to the shelf. They stand on the chair. They reach the red block. They are happy. + +They put the red block on the tower. The tower is very tall. They count the blocks. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. There are ten blocks on the tower. They clap their hands. + +But then, the tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise. They scatter on the floor. The tower is gone. There are zero blocks on the tower. They are sad. + +They look at each other. They see the red block. It is still on the floor. It is not broken. They smile. + +"Let's make a new tower!" they say. "We can use the red block again!" + +They pick up the blocks. They start to make a new tower. They are happy. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is angry. + +"What are you doing?" she says. "You made a mess! You moved the chair! You could have fallen! You could have hurt yourself! You are in trouble!" + +She takes the red block from them. She puts it on the shelf. She moves the chair back. She makes them clean up the blocks. She gives them a bitter drink. They do not like the drink. They are sad. + +They look at each other. They see the red block. It is on the shelf. They cannot reach it. They are sad. +Lily was a little girl who liked to dress up in fancy clothes. She had a pink dress with flowers, a purple hat with feathers, and a shiny necklace with beads. She felt like a princess when she wore them. + +One day, she wanted to show her fancy clothes to her friend Sam, who lived next door. She put on her dress, her hat, and her necklace, and ran outside. But it was a very cold day, and the wind was blowing hard. Lily did not have a coat or a scarf or gloves. + +She knocked on Sam's door, but no one answered. She looked around and saw that Sam was playing in the park with some other kids. She wanted to join them, but she was too far away. She started to walk, but the wind made her tremble. She felt very cold and wished she had warm clothes. + +She saw a big tree and thought maybe she could hide behind it and wait for Sam. She ran to the tree, but as she got closer, she saw something scary. There was a big dog under the tree, and it was growling and showing its teeth. It looked angry and hungry. + +Lily was very afraid. She wanted to run away, but the dog saw her and barked loudly. It started to chase her. Lily screamed and ran as fast as she could. She dropped her hat and her necklace, but she did not care. She just wanted to be safe. + +She ran back to her house and slammed the door. She locked it and ran to her room. She threw off her dress and put on her pajamas. She crawled into her bed and pulled the blanket over her head. She felt some heat from her bed, but she still trembled. She wished Sam was there to hug her and make her feel better. She hoped the dog would not come back. She did not like fancy clothes anymore. She just wanted to be warm and cozy. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today, they are bored. They want to do something new. + +They go to their mom and ask, "Mom, can we go outside?" + +Mom is busy. She is cooking and cleaning. She says, "Not now, kids. I have a lot of work to do. Maybe later." + +Ben and Lily are sad. They go to their dad and ask, "Dad, can we go outside?" + +Dad is busy too. He is working on his laptop. He says, "Sorry, kids. I have a deadline to meet. Maybe later." + +Ben and Lily are very sad. They go to their room and sit on their bed. They look out the window and see the sun and the birds and the flowers. They wish they could go outside and play. + +Then, they hear a knock on the door. They open it and see their grandma. She is old, but she is very kind and fun. She says, "Hello, my darlings. How are you today?" + +Ben and Lily are happy. They hug their grandma and say, "We are bored, grandma. We want to go outside, but mom and dad are busy." + +Grandma smiles and says, "Well, I have an idea. Why don't we go outside and spend some time together? We can go to the park and feed the ducks and swing on the swings and have a picnic. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily are very happy. They say, "Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, grandma. You are the best!" + +They put on their shoes and coats and grab their backpacks. They say goodbye to their mom and dad and tell them they love them. Then, they go outside with their grandma and spend a wonderful day. They are not bored anymore. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were sister and brother. They liked to play with blocks and cars and dolls. Sometimes they shared, and sometimes they fought. + +One day, they were playing with blocks. Ben wanted to build a big tower, and Lily wanted to make a house. They each took some blocks from the pile, but soon they ran out. + +"Give me more blocks!" Ben said. "I need them for my tower!" + +"No, I need them for my house!" Lily said. "You have enough!" + +They started to pull and tug on the blocks. The blocks fell down and made a loud noise. + +"Stop it!" their mom said. "You are making a mess and a lot of noise. Why can't you play nicely?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt bad. They did not want to make mom angry. + +"Sorry, mom," they said. + +They decided to quit fighting and work together. They used the blocks to make a big castle with a tower and a house. They put their cars and dolls inside. They had fun. + +"Look, mom, we made a castle!" they said. + +Mom smiled. She was proud of them. + +"That's very good," she said. "You are dependable kids. You can solve your problems and cooperate. I love you both." + +Ben and Lily hugged mom. They hugged each other. + +"I love you, sister," Ben said. + +"I love you, brother," Lily said. + +They played with their castle until it was time for dinner. +Lily loved to sing. She sang at home, at school, and with her friends. She wanted to sing in the big show and win a medal. She practiced every day and learned many songs. + +The day of the show came. Lily was very excited. She wore a pretty dress and a ribbon in her hair. She waited for her turn to sing. She saw the other kids sing and clap. She saw the medals on the table. She wanted one very much. + +But when it was her turn, something bad happened. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She tried again, but nothing. She felt a tickle in her throat. She had lost her voice. She was very sad. She ran off the stage and cried. + +"Hey, Lily, don't cry," said Ben, her friend. He followed her and gave her a hug. "It's OK. You can sing another day. You are still a good singer." + +"Really?" Lily sniffed. + +"Really. And look, I have something for you." Ben showed her a medal. It was his. He had won it for singing a funny song. "You can have it. You deserve it more than me. You worked so hard." + +Lily smiled. She took the medal and thanked Ben. She felt a little better. She put the medal around her neck and hugged Ben. They went back to the show and watched the other kids sing. Lily still loved to sing. She knew she would sing again. And she had a good friend. +Tim and Lily liked to play with snow. They made a big snowman in their yard. They gave him a hat, a scarf, and a carrot nose. They named him Bob. They were very proud of their snowman. + +But the sun was very bright and warm. It made the snow melt. Tim and Lily saw Bob get smaller and smaller. His hat fell off. His scarf slid down. His carrot nose dropped. They were very sad. They did not want to lose their snowman. + +They ran inside and got a big box. They put some snow and Bob in the box. They carried the box to the freezer. They hoped Bob would be safe there. They thought he was very tough to survive the sun. + +The next day, they opened the freezer. They saw Bob in the box. He was still a snowman. He had his hat, his scarf, and his carrot nose. He looked happy. Tim and Lily were very happy too. They hugged Bob and said hello. They decided to keep him in the freezer until it was cold again. They knew he was their best snow friend. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. They wanted to see it closer. + +"Let's go to the fountain!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They ran to the fountain. They saw coins and rocks and shells in the water. They wanted to touch them. + +"Can we take some?" Lily asked. + +"No, they are not ours. They are wishes." Tom said. + +"What are wishes?" Lily asked. + +"They are when you want something very much and you throw a coin in the water and hope it comes true." Tom said. + +"Like what?" Lily asked. + +"Like...a new bike, or a big cake, or a puppy." Tom said. + +"I want a puppy!" Lily said. + +She saw a shiny coin in the water. She reached for it. She slipped and fell in the fountain. She got wet and cold and scared. She cried. + +"Help! Help!" Lily shouted. + +Tom saw Lily in the fountain. He was scared too. He wanted to help her. He searched for a way to get her out. He saw a stick on the ground. He picked it up. He ran to the fountain. He gave the stick to Lily. + +"Grab the stick! Grab the stick!" Tom said. + +Lily grabbed the stick. Tom pulled her out of the fountain. She was still wet and cold and crying. Tom hugged her. + +"It's OK. It's OK. I'm here." Tom said. + +They heard a voice. + +"What's going on here?" The voice said. + +They looked up. They saw a man in a uniform. He was a park ranger. He was not happy. + +"Did you fall in the fountain?" The park ranger asked. + +"Yes, sir." Lily said. + +"Did you take any coins?" The park ranger asked. + +"No, sir." Tom said. + +The park ranger looked at them. He saw they were wet and cold and scared. He felt sorry for them. + +"Come on, let's get you dry and warm. And don't play near the fountain again. It's dangerous." The park ranger said. + +He took them to his office. He gave them towels and blankets and hot chocolate. He called their parents. He told them what happened. He said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. He said they were brave and good. + +Tom and Lily felt better. They thanked the park ranger. They hugged each other. They still wanted a puppy. But they didn't want to make any more wishes in the fountain. +Tim and Mia are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They put block on block on block. They are happy and proud. + +"Look at our tower!" Tim says. "It is so high and strong!" + +"Yes, it is!" Mia says. "Let's put one more block on top!" + +They find a big block. They lift it together. They try to put it on top of the tower. But the block is too heavy. The tower shakes and wobbles. + +"Oh no!" Tim and Mia say. + +The tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise. They hit the floor and the table and the chair. Some blocks hit Tim and Mia. They hurt and cry. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise. They run to the room. They see the mess and the tears. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. + +"We made a tower and it fell down!" Tim says. + +"Why did you make such a big tower?" Dad asks. + +"We wanted to make the best tower ever!" Mia says. + +Mom and Dad are angry and sad. They scold Tim and Mia. + +"That was very silly and dangerous!" Mom says. "You could have hurt yourselves or broken something!" + +"You should have been more careful and sensible!" Dad says. "You have to clean up this mess and say sorry!" + +Tim and Mia are embarrassed and sorry. They nod and sniff. They pick up the blocks and put them away. They say sorry to Mom and Dad. They hug and kiss them. + +But Mom and Dad are still mad. They send Tim and Mia to their rooms. They say they can't play with blocks for a week. They say they have to learn their lesson. + +Tim and Mia are sad and bored. They wish they had not made such a big tower. They wish they had not made such a big mistake. They wish they had a better ending. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make a big building with blocks. The building is gray and tall. They are happy. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is hungry. The dog sees the building. The dog thinks the building is food. The dog runs to the building. The dog wants to eat the building. + +Tim and Mia are scared. They shout at the dog. "No, no, no! That is not food! That is our building! Go away, dog! Go away!" + +The dog does not listen. The dog bites the building. The building falls down. The blocks are everywhere. The dog is still hungry. The dog looks for more food. + +Tim and Mia are sad. They cry. They hug each other. They say, "We worked hard on our building. The dog ruined our building. We do not like the dog." + +Then, a lady comes. The lady is the dog's owner. The lady sees the mess. The lady sees Tim and Mia. The lady says, "I am sorry. I am sorry. My dog is naughty. He likes to eat everything. He does not know better. I will help you clean up. I will buy you new blocks. I will teach my dog to be good." + +Tim and Mia are still sad, but they are also kind. They say, "Thank you, lady. Thank you. We hope your dog learns to be good. We hope your dog finds real food. We hope you can play with us again." + +The lady smiles. The lady hugs Tim and Mia. The lady says, "You are welcome. You are welcome. You are very nice. I hope we can be friends. I hope we can play again." + +The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were ghosts and scare each other. They took two white sheets from the closet and put them over their heads. They made boo sounds and ran around the room. + +"Boo! I scare you, Tom!" Lily said, jumping out from behind the bed. + +"No, you don't! I scare you, Lily!" Tom said, hiding under the table. + +They laughed and had fun. But then they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their mom. She was angry. + +"Lily! Tom! What are you doing with my sheets? You made them dirty and ripped them! And what is that smell? Did you touch my spicy sauce?" she shouted. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They took off the sheets and ran to the kitchen. They saw their mom holding a bottle of red sauce. It was spicy and hot. They had spilled some on the floor and the sheets. + +"Sorry, mom. We were just playing. We didn't mean to make a mess," Lily said. + +"Too late. You are in big trouble. You have to clean up everything and go to bed without dinner. And no more playing with sheets or sauce. Ever!" mom said. + +Lily and Tom cried. They had to scrub the floor and the sheets. They were hungry and sad. They wished they had played with something else. They learned their lesson. Playing with sheets and sauce was not fun. It was scary. +Anna and Ben are happy. They are going to the festival with Mom and Dad. The festival has many things to see and do. There are balloons, games, music, and food. + +Anna and Ben see a big tent. The tent has many pumpkins. The pumpkins are orange and round. Mom and Dad say they can cut a pumpkin. They give Anna and Ben a knife and a spoon. + +"Be careful with the knife," Mom says. "It is sharp. Do not cut yourself." + +Anna and Ben nod. They choose a pumpkin. They cut a hole on the top. They use the spoon to scoop out the seeds. They make a face on the pumpkin. They cut eyes, a nose, and a mouth. They put a candle inside the pumpkin. + +"Look, Mom and Dad," Anna and Ben say. "We made a lantern." + +Mom and Dad smile. They say Anna and Ben did a good job. They take the lantern to the festival. They put it with the other lanterns. The lanterns glow in the dark. They look like happy faces. + +Anna and Ben are proud. They like the festival. They like their lantern. They have fun. +Tom was a boy who liked to help his dad. One day, his dad was shaving his face with a razor. The razor was sharp and shiny, and it made a buzzing sound. Tom wanted to see how it worked. + +"Dad, can I try the razor?" Tom asked. + +"No, Tom, the razor is not a toy. It can hurt you if you touch it. You have to wait until you are big and have hair on your face like me," his dad said. + +Tom was sad. He wanted to be big and have hair on his face like his dad. He thought maybe he could fix the razor and make it safer. He waited until his dad was done and put the razor on the sink. Then he ran to his room and got his tools. He had a hammer, a screwdriver, and some tape. He thought he could use them to fix the razor. + +He took the razor to his room and started to work. He hit the razor with the hammer to make it less sharp. He twisted the razor with the screwdriver to make it less shiny. He wrapped the razor with tape to make it less buzzing. He was very proud of his work. He thought he had fixed the razor. + +He ran to his dad and showed him the razor. "Look, dad, I fixed the razor for you. Now you can let me try it," he said. + +His dad looked at the razor and was shocked. The razor was broken and bent and covered with tape. It did not look like a razor anymore. It looked like a huge mess. + +"Tom, what did you do? You ruined the razor. You can't fix things by breaking them. You have to be careful with things that are not yours. And you have to listen to me when I tell you something is dangerous. You could have hurt yourself," his dad said. + +Tom felt bad. He did not mean to ruin the razor. He did not mean to make his dad angry. He wanted to help his dad and be like him. He said he was sorry and hugged his dad. + +His dad hugged him back and said he was sorry too. He said he loved him and he was proud of him for wanting to help. He said he would buy a new razor and teach him how to use it when he was older. He said he would also teach him how to fix things the right way. + +Tom smiled and said he loved his dad too. He said he would wait until he was older and he would learn how to fix things the right way. He said he would also be careful with things that are not his. He said he was happy to be his dad's son. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, they went to the park with their moms. The park was lively. There were many kids and dogs and birds. + +Lily saw a shiny thing on the ground. She picked it up. It was gum. She liked gum. She put it in her mouth. It was sweet and chewy. + +"Look, Ben, I found gum!" she said. + +Ben looked at her. He was angry. He wanted gum too. He said, "That's not fair. You have to share. Give me some gum." + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, it's mine. I found it. You can't have it." + +Ben tried to grab the gum from her mouth. Lily pushed him away. She said, "Go away. You're mean. I don't want to play with you." + +Ben felt sad. He said, "Please, Lily, don't ignore me. I'm sorry. I just wanted some gum too. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily looked at him. She saw his tears. She felt sorry. She said, "OK, Ben, I'm sorry too. Here, you can have some gum. But don't take it from the ground. It's dirty. Mom says so." + +Ben smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You're a good friend. I'm sorry I was mean. Let's play together." + +Lily and Ben hugged. They shared the gum. They played with dolls and cars and books. They had fun. They were happy. +Ben and Mia liked to go to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, slide down the slide, and run on the grass. Sometimes, they saw a vendor who sold ice cream and balloons. He was famous in the park because he had a big smile and a funny hat. + +One day, Ben and Mia wanted to buy a balloon from the vendor. They asked their mom for some money and ran to the vendor's cart. The vendor had many balloons of different colors and shapes. He asked them what they wanted. + +"I want a red balloon," said Ben. + +"I want a blue balloon," said Mia. + +The vendor gave them their balloons and tied them to their wrists. He also gave them a marker each. He said, "You can mark your balloons with your names or draw something on them. It will make them more special." + +Ben and Mia thanked the vendor and went to a bench. They used their markers to mark their balloons. Ben wrote his name in big letters on his red balloon. Mia drew a flower on her blue balloon. They were very happy with their balloons. + +They showed their balloons to their mom, who said they were very pretty. She took a picture of them with their balloons. Ben and Mia smiled and hugged their balloons. They liked the vendor and his balloons. They hoped to see him again in the park. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toy cars on the grass. They made a pitch with some sticks and stones and pretended to race each other. Anna had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They liked to make noises like vroom and beep. + +"Look, I have a new car!" said Ben, showing Anna a yellow car. "It is very fast and shiny. Do you want to try it?" + +Anna nodded and took the yellow car. She liked how it felt in her hand. She put it on the pitch and pushed it hard. The yellow car zoomed past the red and the blue cars. + +"Wow, you are good!" said Ben. "But I can catch you!" + +He pushed his blue car faster and faster. He was almost next to the yellow car. But then he saw something move in the bushes. It was a big, black dog. It had a nosy nose and sharp teeth. It looked hungry and curious. + +"Watch out!" shouted Anna. "There is a dog!" + +Ben turned his head and saw the dog. He felt scared. He dropped his blue car and ran to Anna. They hugged each other and hoped the dog would go away. + +But the dog did not go away. It came out of the bushes and sniffed the pitch. It saw the red, the blue and the yellow cars. It thought they were toys for him. It picked up the yellow car with its mouth and bit it hard. It made a loud crunch. + +"Hey, that is my car!" cried Ben. "Give it back!" + +He tried to get the yellow car from the dog. But the dog growled and shook its head. It did not want to supply the car to Ben. It wanted to keep it for itself. + +Anna and Ben were sad and angry. They wished they had a stick or a stone to scare the dog away. But they had used them all for the pitch. They had no weapons to fight the dog. They had to watch the dog destroy their cars. + +The dog was happy. It had found a new game. It bit the blue car and the red car too. It made more crunches. It did not care about Anna and Ben. It only cared about itself. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But sometimes they get bored. + +One day, they find a big sheet in the closet. It is white and soft. They think it is a fun thing to play with. + +"Let's make a tent with the sheet!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They take the sheet and put it over their bed. They crawl under the sheet. It is like a secret cave. + +They pretend they are explorers. They look for treasure and animals. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they hear a growl. It is not a pretend growl. It is a real growl. It comes from under the bed. + +They peek out of the sheet. They see a big, ugly dog. It has sharp teeth and dirty fur. It is not their dog. It is a stray dog. It is hungry and angry. + +The dog sees them. It jumps on the bed. It tries to eat the sheet. It rips the sheet with its teeth. It barks and snarls. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They scream. + +"Mama! Papa! Help!" they cry. + +Mama and Papa hear them. They run to their room. They see the dog. They chase the dog away. They hug Lily and Ben. + +"Are you OK?" Mama asks. + +"Yes, we are OK. But the sheet is not OK. The dog ate the sheet. It was a bad dog. It was an ugly dog." Lily says. + +"I'm sorry, sweetie. The sheet is ruined. But you are safe. That's what matters. The dog is gone. It won't come back." Papa says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They are glad. They don't want to play with the sheet anymore. They want to play with their toys and books. And their dog. Their dog is nice and cute. It does not eat sheets. +Sara and her mom go to the market every week. They buy food and toys and flowers. Sara likes the market. She likes to see the people and the colors and the smells. + +One day, Sara's mom is sick. She can not go to the market. She tells Sara to stay home with dad. Sara is sad. She wants to go to the market. She misses the market. + +Sara stays home with dad. Dad tries to make her happy. He reads her a book. He plays with her dolls. He makes her a sandwich. But Sara is still sad. She misses the market. + +Sara looks out the window. She sees a bird. The bird is blue and yellow. It is singing. Sara likes the bird. She wants to play with the bird. She opens the window. She calls the bird. + +The bird flies to the window. It lands on the sill. It looks at Sara. Sara smiles. She reaches out her hand. She wants to touch the bird. + +But the bird is scared. It flies away. It hits the glass. It falls to the ground. It does not move. It does not sing. It is dead. + +Sara cries. She is sorry. She did not mean to hurt the bird. She misses the bird. She misses the market. She misses her mom. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was friendly and wagged his tail. Lily and Ben wanted to pet the dog. + +"Hello, doggy!" Lily said. "You are so cute and soft!" + +"Can we play with you?" Ben asked. "You look like fun!" + +The dog barked and licked their faces. He was happy to have new friends. Lily and Ben laughed and hugged the dog. + +But then they smelled something bad. The dog was smelly. He had rolled in some mud and garbage. Lily and Ben wrinkled their noses and let go of the dog. + +"Yuck!" Lily said. "You are so smelly, doggy!" + +"Go away!" Ben said. "You need a bath!" + +The dog looked sad and confused. He did not understand why his friends did not like him anymore. He whimpered and walked away. + +Lily and Ben went back to their toys. But they did not feel happy. They felt sorry for the dog. They had hurt his feelings. + +"Maybe we were mean to the dog," Lily said. "He was nice to us." + +"Maybe we should say sorry to the dog," Ben said. "He was just dirty, not bad." + +They looked for the dog. They saw him sitting under a tree. He was lonely and sad. He did not look at them. + +Lily and Ben walked up to the dog. They smiled and spoke softly. + +"Hi, doggy," Lily said. "We are sorry we were rude to you. You are still our friend." + +"Yes, doggy," Ben said. "We are sorry we made you cry. You are still a good dog." + +The dog lifted his head. He saw their kind eyes and heard their sweet words. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy again. + +Lily and Ben hugged the dog. They did not mind his smell. They loved him for who he was. + +They learned a lesson. They learned to be nice and not judge by looks. They learned to say sorry and forgive. They learned to be true friends. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball and run after it. They had a lot of fun. + +But then the sky became dark and they heard a loud sound. It was thunder. Ben and Lily were scared. They wanted to go home. + +"Mommy, mommy, where are you?" they cried. They looked for their mommy, but they could not see her. She was on the other side of the park, talking to a friend. + +They ran to the big tree and hid under it. They hoped the thunder would go away. They hugged each other and tried to be brave. + +But the thunder did not go away. It became louder and louder. And then they saw a bright flash. It was lightning. It hit the big tree and made it fall. Ben and Lily were crushed by the tree. They did not make any sound. They did not rest. They were gone. +Lily loved to dream. Every night, she closed her eyes and saw wonderful things. She saw fairies and unicorns and rainbows. She saw her friends and her toys and her mommy and daddy. She was happy in her dreams. + +But one night, she had a bad dream. She saw a big, scary monster. It had sharp teeth and claws and horns. It roared and chased her. She ran and ran, but it was faster. She cried and screamed, but no one heard her. She was miserable in her dream. + +She woke up and saw that it was dark. She was alone in her bed. She wanted to hug her teddy bear, but it was not there. She looked around and saw that the monster had taken it. It was holding it in its mouth, tearing it apart. It saw her and smiled wickedly. + +"Hello, Lily," it said. "Did you miss me? I came to visit you again. I like your dreams. They are tasty. And I like your teddy bear. He is soft. But not as soft as you. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily was terrified. She tried to hide under the covers, but it was too late. The monster jumped on her bed and grabbed her. She felt its teeth and claws digging into her skin. She felt its breath on her face. She felt its hunger and hate. She felt nothing else. + +The end. +Lily loved dinosaurs. She had many dinosaur toys and books. She liked to pretend she was a powerful dinosaur and roar at her brother. One day, she saw a big poster of a dinosaur at the library. She wanted to see it up close. + +She ran to the poster and looked at the dinosaur. It had long horns, sharp teeth and a big tail. It looked very scary and strong. Lily felt brave and said, "Hello, dinosaur. I am a dinosaur too. Can we be friends?" + +But the dinosaur did not answer. It just stared at her with its big eyes. Lily felt sad and angry. She thought the dinosaur was rude and mean. She decided to roar at it and scare it away. She opened her mouth and roared as loud as she could. + +But instead of a roar, a big sneeze came out of her mouth. She sneezed so hard that she fell backwards and hit her head on the floor. She felt a bump on her head and tears in her eyes. She started to cry. + +Her brother heard her cry and ran to her. He saw the poster and the sneeze. He said, "Lily, are you okay? What happened?" + +Lily told him what she did. She said, "I wanted to be friends with the dinosaur, but it did not talk to me. I tried to roar at it, but I sneezed instead. It was not fun. It hurt." + +Her brother hugged her and said, "Lily, that is not a real dinosaur. It is just a picture. It cannot talk or hear you. You cannot be friends with a picture. You can only be friends with real people and animals. And you should not roar or sneeze at them. You should be nice and polite. That is how you make friends." + +Lily nodded and said, "I am sorry. I was silly. I will be nice and polite. Thank you, brother. You are a good friend." + +Her brother smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good sister. Come on, let's go and find some real dinosaur books. Maybe we can learn more about them and have fun." + +Lily agreed and followed her brother. She learned her lesson. She never tried to roar or sneeze at a picture again. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But they have a problem. They have too many toys. Their room is full of toys. They have no space to play. + +One day, Mom says, "Lily and Ben, you have too many toys. You need to give some away. You can choose some toys to keep and some toys to donate. We will go to the store and find a place to donate them." + +Lily and Ben do not like this idea. They love all their toys. They do not want to give any away. They start to cry. + +Mom says, "Don't cry, my loves. You can still keep your favorite toys. But you have to share some with other kids who have no toys. It will make them happy. And you will have more space to play." + +Lily and Ben think about it. They do not want to make other kids sad. They want to make them happy. But they also want to keep their toys. + +Lily says, "Mom, can we keep the toys that are tight? They are small and do not take much space." + +Mom says, "What do you mean by tight, Lily?" + +Lily says, "The toys that are tight are the ones that fit in our hands. Like the cars, the balls, the dolls, the animals. They are tight and cozy. We like them a lot." + +Ben says, "Yes, Mom, can we keep the tight toys? And give away the big toys? Like the puzzles, the books, the blocks, the trains. They are big and hard. They take too much space." + +Mom says, "I see. You want to keep the tight toys and give away the big toys. Well, that is a good suggestion, Lily and Ben. But you have to make sure you have enough big toys to donate. And you have to be fair and take turns choosing." + +Lily and Ben agree. They go to their room and start to sort their toys. They keep the tight toys and put the big toys in a bag. They are happy with their suggestion. They hope the other kids will like their big toys. They are ready to go to the store and donate them. +Tom was a boy who liked to run and play. He was eager to go outside every day and see his friends. He had a big lung that could breathe a lot of air. He could run fast and jump high. + +One night, Tom had a bad dream. He saw a big monster that wanted to hurt him. He was scared and he cried. He tried to wake up, but he could not. The monster came closer and closer. Tom felt a pain in his lung. He could not breathe well. + +Then, he heard a voice. It was his mom. She was calling his name. She came into his room and turned on the light. She saw Tom was sweating and shaking. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. It was just a dream. You are safe with me." + +Tom felt his mom's warm arms around him. He felt his lung fill up with air. He felt his fear go away. He opened his eyes and saw his mom's kind face. He smiled and said, "I love you, mom." + +Mom smiled back and said, "I love you too, Tom. Do you want to tell me about your dream?" + +Tom nodded and told his mom about the monster. Mom listened and said, "That was a scary dream, Tom. But you know, monsters are not real. They are only in your head. You can make them go away by thinking of something happy. Like your friends, or your toys, or your favorite food." + +Tom thought of something happy. He thought of his bike. He liked to ride his bike with his friends. He felt his heart beat faster. He felt eager to go outside and play. He said, "Mom, can I ride my bike today?" + +Mom looked at the clock. It was morning. She said, "Yes, Tom. You can ride your bike today. But first, you need to eat your breakfast and brush your teeth. And don't forget to wear your helmet." + +Tom said, "Okay, mom. Thank you for making me feel better. You are the best mom ever." + +Mom kissed Tom and said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are the best son ever." +Anna and Ben liked to play pretend. They had many costumes and toys to make their games fun. One day, they decided to perform a show for their mom and dad. Anna wanted to be a witch, and Ben wanted to be a prince. + +They put on their costumes and got ready. Anna had a black dress, a hat, and a broom. Ben had a crown, a cape, and a sword. They also had a big book of spells that Anna found in the attic. They thought it was just for pretend, but they did not know it was a real magic book. + +They went to the living room, where their mom and dad were waiting. They said, "Welcome to our show! We are going to tell you a story about a witch and a prince." They opened the book and started to read the words. They did not understand what they said, but they sounded funny and scary. + +Suddenly, the book glowed and sparks flew out of it. The words became clear and loud. They were casting a real spell! Anna and Ben felt strange and scared. They wanted to stop, but they could not. The spell was too strong. + +The spell turned Anna into a real witch, with green skin, a long nose, and warts. It turned Ben into a frog, with slimy skin, big eyes, and a croak. They looked at each other and screamed. Their mom and dad were shocked and confused. They did not know what to do. + +The book laughed and said, "You should not play with things you do not know. You should be careful and respectful. Now you have to live with your choices, until you learn your lesson." + +Anna and Ben cried and hugged each other. They were sorry for what they did. They wished they could go back to normal. They hoped they could find a way to break the spell. They learned that pretending is fun, but not when it hurts or changes you or others. They learned that some things are not for play, but for respect. They learned to be more careful and wise. +Sam liked motorcycles very much. He had a toy motorcycle that he played with every day. He made vroom-vroom noises and pretended to ride fast. He wished he had a real motorcycle like his dad. + +One day, his dad said, "Sam, do you want to go for a ride with me on my motorcycle?" Sam was very happy. He said, "Yes, please, dad! Can I wear your helmet?" His dad smiled and said, "Of course, son. You need to be safe. Here, put this on." He gave Sam a big helmet that fit his head. + +Sam and his dad went outside. It was a warm day and the sun was shining. Sam climbed on the back of the motorcycle and held on to his dad. His dad started the engine and said, "Are you ready, Sam?" Sam said, "Yes, dad! Let's go!" They drove away, vroom-vrooming along the road. + +Sam felt the wind in his face and the warmth of his dad. He saw the trees, the houses, the cars, and the people. He waved to them and said hello. He felt very happy and excited. He thought, "This is the best day ever!" + +They rode for a long time, until they reached a park. His dad stopped the motorcycle and said, "Let's have a picnic, Sam. I brought some sandwiches and juice for us." They sat on a blanket and ate their lunch. Sam said, "Thank you, dad, for taking me on your motorcycle. I love you." His dad hugged him and said, "I love you too, Sam. You are my best buddy." They smiled and enjoyed their warm day together. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to make a camp in the woods behind their house. They used sticks and leaves to build a tent and a fire. They pretended they were explorers in a faraway land. + +"Look, Ben, I found some berries!" Lily said, holding a handful of red fruits. "We can eat them for lunch." + +"Yum, they look good," Ben said. "But be careful, some berries are bad and make you sick." + +They shared the berries and enjoyed their camp. They felt very rich and happy. + +But then, they heard a loud growl from the bushes. A big, black bear came out and sniffed the air. It saw the berries and the fire and wanted to eat them. It roared and walked towards the camp. + +Lily and Ben were very scared. They ran away from the camp and looked for a safe place to hide. They saw a big tree with a hole in it and climbed inside. They hoped the bear would not find them. + +"Help, help!" they shouted. "There is a bear in our camp!" + +Their mom and dad heard their cries and came running. They saw the bear and grabbed a stick and a rock. They threw the rock at the bear and hit it on the nose. The bear was angry and hurt. It ran away from the camp and back into the woods. + +Mom and dad ran to the tree and helped Lily and Ben out. They hugged them and checked if they were hurt. + +"Are you okay, my sweeties?" mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, we are okay," Lily said. + +"Thank you for rescuing us, dad," Ben said. + +"You're welcome, my brave ones," dad said. "But next time, don't go too far into the woods. There are dangerous animals there." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They were happy to be safe and with their family. They still liked to play outside, but they stayed close to their house. They never forgot their adventure in the camp. +Tom and Mia like to play in the garden. They see many flowers and bugs. They are happy. + +One day, they see a bee on the ground. The bee does not fly. It looks sad. Tom and Mia want to help the bee. + +They find a spoon and a cup. They put some water and honey in the cup. They use the spoon to give some to the bee. The bee drinks and eats. It feels better. + +The bee buzzes and thanks Tom and Mia. It says they are kind and strong. They saved the bee. Tom and Mia smile. They are proud. + +The bee flies away. It says it will come back and visit. Tom and Mia wave goodbye. They go back to play. They are friends with the bee. +Lily was a little girl who liked to sing. She sang all the time, at home, at school, and in the park. She sang loud and happy, but not very well. Her voice was out of tune and made people cover their ears. + +One day, she met a boy named Ben, who also liked to sing. He sang softly and sweetly, and made people smile. He heard Lily singing and said, "You have a crazy voice. You should not sing so much. You hurt my ears." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "I love to sing. Singing makes me happy. You are mean and rude. You should not say such things." + +Ben said, "I am not mean and rude. I am honest and helpful. If you want to sing better, you should listen to me. I can teach you how to improve your voice. You should practice with me." + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to sing better, but she did not like Ben. She said, "Why should I practice with you? You are not my friend. You are not nice to me." + +Ben said, "I can be your friend, if you want. I am nice to people who listen to me. You can learn a lot from me. I know many songs and tricks. Come on, give me a chance. I will show you how to sing with your ear, not with your mouth." + +Lily was curious. She said, "Sing with my ear? What does that mean?" + +Ben said, "It means you have to hear yourself and others when you sing. You have to match the sounds and the rhythms. You have to sing in harmony, not in chaos. Come on, follow me. I will teach you a song." + +Lily followed Ben to a quiet spot. He taught her a simple song, and sang it with her. He showed her how to listen to his voice and to her own. He corrected her when she was wrong, and praised her when she was right. He was patient and kind. + +Lily felt happy and proud. She sang better and better, and enjoyed the song. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good teacher and a good friend. You helped me improve my voice. You did not hurt my ears. You made them happy." + +Ben smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good student and a good friend. You learned fast and well. You did not have a crazy voice. You had a hidden voice. You made it shine." + +They hugged and sang the song again. They became friends and sang together often. They made people smile and clap. They learned that singing is fun and beautiful, when you sing with your ear and your heart. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big slide in the park. They want to try it. + +Anna is enthusiastic. She runs to the slide and climbs up the steps. She sits on the slide and slides down fast. She yells, "Whee! This is fun!" + +Ben is scared. He walks to the slide and looks up. He sees how high and steep the slide is. He does not want to slide down. He says, "No, no, no!" + +Mom and dad see Ben. They go to him and hug him. They say, "It's okay, Ben. You don't have to slide if you don't want to. You can watch Anna or play with something else." + +Ben nods. He sees a swing nearby. He likes to swing. He goes to the swing and sits on it. Mom pushes him gently. He feels the wind in his hair. He smiles and says, "Whee! This is fun, too!" + +Anna sees Ben. She slides down again and runs to him. She says, "Hi, Ben! Do you like the swing?" + +Ben says, "Yes, Anna. Do you like the slide?" + +Anna says, "Yes, Ben. It's fun. Do you want to try it?" + +Ben thinks. He looks at the slide. He looks at Anna. He looks at mom and dad. He says, "Maybe later. Right now, I like the swing." + +Anna says, "Okay, Ben. Maybe later. Right now, I like the slide." + +They both laugh. They are happy. They play in the park with their mom and dad. They are twins. They are different, but they love each other. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They found a big stick and pretended it was a sword. They swung it in the air and made loud noises. + +"Look, I'm a knight!" Ben said. + +"I'm a princess!" Lily said. + +They had fun with the stick until it broke in half. Lily and Ben looked at the stick and felt guilty. They knew their dad liked the stick. He used it to repair things in the house. + +"Oh no, what do we do?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe we can fix it," Ben said. + +They tried to put the stick back together, but it did not work. The stick was still broken. They heard their dad coming from the house. + +"Quick, hide the stick!" Lily said. + +They ran behind a bush and hid the stick under some leaves. They hoped their dad would not see it. + +"Hi, kids, what are you doing?" their dad asked. + +"Nothing, dad, just playing," Lily and Ben said. + +Their dad smiled and went to the shed. He looked for his stick, but he could not find it. He scratched his head and wondered where it was. + +Lily and Ben felt more guilty. They wanted to tell their dad the truth, but they were afraid he would be angry. + +"Maybe we should say sorry," Ben whispered. + +"Maybe," Lily whispered back. + +They looked at each other and took a deep breath. They decided to be brave and honest. They got the stick from under the leaves and walked to their dad. + +"Dad, we have something to tell you," Lily said. + +"We broke your stick, dad, we're sorry," Ben said. + +They showed their dad the broken stick and waited for his reaction. Their dad looked at the stick and then at them. He did not look angry. He looked surprised and then he smiled. + +"Is that my stick?" he asked. + +"Yes, dad, we were playing with it and it snapped," Lily said. + +"We tried to fix it, but we couldn't," Ben said. + +Their dad hugged them and said, "Thank you for telling me the truth, kids. I'm not mad at you. I'm proud of you. You did the right thing." + +He took the stick and said, "Don't worry, I can repair it. It's just a stick. You are more important to me than a stick." + +Lily and Ben felt happy and relieved. They hugged their dad back and said, "We love you, dad." + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that honesty is the best policy. And that sticks can be repaired, but trust is harder to fix. +Tommy liked to admire the soldiers who marched in the street. He saw them wear green clothes and shiny hats. They carried big sticks and made loud noises. Tommy wanted to be a soldier when he grew up. + +One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom. He saw a soldier sitting on a bench. He had a red flower on his chest and a medal on his hat. Tommy ran to the soldier and said, "Hello, sir. You are a soldier. I like soldiers. Can I see your medal?" + +The soldier smiled and said, "Hello, little boy. Yes, I am a soldier. This medal is for bravery. I got it in a war. Do you know what a war is?" + +Tommy shook his head and said, "No, sir. What is a war?" + +The soldier said, "A war is when people fight and hurt each other. It is very bad and sad. I fought in a war to protect my country and my friends. But some of my friends did not come back. That is why I have this flower. It is to remember them." + +Tommy felt sorry for the soldier and said, "I am sorry, sir. That is very sad. But you are very brave and good. I admire you, sir. You are my hero." + +The soldier hugged Tommy and said, "Thank you, little boy. You are very kind and cheerful. You make me happy. You are my hero, too." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. Mommy has a big box of toys for them. She says they can choose one toy each. + +Lily runs to the box and looks inside. She sees a doll, a car, a ball, a book and a puzzle. She likes the doll. She picks it up and hugs it. She says, "I choose the doll. She is pretty and soft." + +Ben walks to the box and looks inside. He sees the same toys as Lily. He likes the car. He picks it up and makes it zoom. He says, "I choose the car. It is fast and cool." + +Mommy smiles and says, "Good choices, Lily and Ben.

She wanted to climb it and see what was on top. + +She put on her shoes and coat. She opened the door and ran outside. She did not tell her mom and dad. She thought they would not let her go. She followed the path that led to the mountain. She was happy and excited. + +She wandered along the path. She saw many things. She saw flowers and trees and birds and bugs. She picked some flowers and put them in her hair. She sang a song to herself. She did not see how far she had gone. + +She came to a big rock. She climbed on it and looked around. She saw the mountain was very close. She also saw that the sun was going down. She felt a little scared. She did not know how to go back. She did not see the path. She did not see her house. She did not see her mom and dad. + +She started to cry. She wished she had not left. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. She wished they would find her. She heard a voice. It was her dad. He had followed her tracks. He had been looking for her. + +"Lila, Lila, where are you?" he called. + +"Dad, Dad, I'm here!" she shouted. + +He saw her on the rock. He ran to her and hugged her. He was angry and worried and glad. He scolded her for running away. He told her she was in trouble. He also told her he loved her. He carried her back to the house. He gave her to her mom. She hugged her too. She was angry and worried and glad. She scolded her for running away. She told her she was in trouble. She also told her she loved her. + +Lila was sorry. She said she was sorry. She said she would not do it again. She said she loved them too. She was tired and hungry and cold. She ate some soup and bread. She put on her pajamas. She went to bed. She fell asleep. She dreamed of the mountain. She did not want to climb it anymore. She wanted to stay with her mom and dad. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Sara has a bike with a bell. Ben has a ball. + +One day, Sara and Ben go to the park. Sara rides her bike and rings her bell. Ben kicks his ball and runs after it. They have fun. + +"Can I try your bike?" Ben asks Sara. + +"OK, but be careful. It is fast," Sara says. + +Sara gives her bike to Ben. Ben gets on the bike and pedals. He rings the bell. He likes the bike. + +But then, he goes too fast. He loses his balance. He falls off the bike. He hits his head. He feels dizzy. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. + +Sara runs to Ben. She sees his head. It has a bump. She feels sorry. + +"Are you OK, Ben?" Sara asks. + +"My head hurts. And I feel dizzy. I don't like your bike," Ben says. + +Sara hugs Ben. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. It was an accident. Do you want to play with your ball?" + +Ben nods. He says, "Yes, please. I like my ball. And I like you, Sara. You are a good friend." + +Sara smiles. She says, "I like you, too, Ben. You are a good friend. And I like my bike. It is mine. I own it." + +They play with the ball. They forget the bike. They are happy. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in there!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be dark and scary." Mia said. + +They ran to the hole and entered. It was very dark and cold. They used their hands to feel the walls. They felt something hard and round. + +"What is this?" Tom asked. + +"It feels like a skull!" Mia said. + +"A skull? What is a skull?" Tom asked. + +"It is the bone that holds your head and your brain. Like this." Mia said, touching her own head. + +"Wow, that is cool. But why is there a skull here?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it belonged to a huge animal that lived here long ago." Mia said. + +"Like a dinosaur?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe. Or maybe a dragon. Or maybe a giant." Mia said. + +They heard a loud roar from behind them. They turned around and saw a huge creature with sharp teeth and claws. It had a skull on its head, like a helmet. + +"Run!" Mia shouted. + +They ran out of the hole as fast as they could. The creature followed them, roaring and snapping. They reached the park and saw their mom and dad. + +"Mom! Dad! Help!" Tom and Mia cried. + +Their mom and dad saw the huge creature and were very scared. They grabbed Tom and Mia and ran to their car. They drove away, leaving the creature behind. + +"What was that?" Their mom asked. + +"It was a huge skull monster!" Tom and Mia said. + +They hugged their mom and dad and thanked them for saving them.

So she went to see her friend, and asked for advice. + +Her friend said, “Why don’t you keep repeating a thing over and over again until you get it right? That’s how you learn new things.†+ +The girl thought it was a great idea, so she gave it a try. Every day she would do the same thing again and again and again, but nothing seemed to be working. + +After a long time, she became very tired, and eventually just gave up. She realized that repeating the same thing over and over again wasn’t helping her learn anything. + +The girl had wasted all her time, and she was sad. She had learned her lesson. You don’t have to be smart to know that repeating something doesn’t always mean you'll get it right. +Jeff was playing in the park when he suddenly saw a very weird looking animal.

The rabbit was always alert and the children had lots of fun with it. One day something special happened – the family found seven of the most colourful eggs in the rabbit’s hut. They were careful not to harm the eggs, so they kept them safe until they hatched. + +When the eggs hatched, out came seven baby chicks! The family was overjoyed. Furthermore, they learnt an important lesson – when you take care of animals, they will show you the same kindness in return. So the family was careful to always urge others to care for animals, because in the end, it pays off! +Once upon a time, there were two friends. One was an ant and one was a spider. They were playing together in a sunny meadow. + +Suddenly, the ant heard a noise in the bushes nearby. He asked the spider, “What was that?†The spider replied, “I think it was a hairy snake.†The ant became scared, so he ran away. + +The spider found the snake and talked to him. The snake said, “Why did you run away, ant? Next time, don’t be scared of things that you don’t know.†The ant nodded and realized his mistake. + +The moral of the story is: don’t be scared of something that you don’t know! +Once upon a time there was a very creative whale. He liked to drink lots of water. Every day he would go to the ocean and drink more and more water. + +One day while he was drinking, he noticed a tiny fish swimming by. He asked the little fish what he was doing. + +The tiny fish said, "I'm looking for a place to hide from the sharks. Can I hide with you?" + +The whale said, "Of course! I'm very creative, so I'm sure I can help you find a good spot to hide." + +So the whale and the little fish swam around the ocean together. The whale was very careful to make sure that the little fish was safe from the sharks. + +Finally, the whale found a perfect cave for the little fish to hide in. The little fish thanked the whale, and he said goodbye. + +The whale was very proud of himself for being so creative and helpful. He smiled and went back out to the ocean to enjoy his delicious water. +Once there was a bald man who wanted to go for a swing. He was so excited! He went to the park and got on the swing, and he started swinging higher and higher. He had so much fun! + +When the man was done swinging, he went to get a meal. He bought a hotdog and some fries, and ate them on a bench in the park. He was so happy to have had such a great time on the swing! + +The bald man was full, and he decided to go home. He thanked the nice lady at the park and said goodbye. On his way home, he thought about how much fun he had had on the swing. + +The man was excited to go back to the park to swing again soon. He smiled to himself, imagining the satisfaction of the breeze on his bald head as he swung higher and higher in the park.
