The tree won't mind." + +Alex thought for a moment and said, "No, I think we should leave them all for the tree." + +Sam thought about it, then he said, "You're right, Alex. We shouldn't take too much from nature, it should stay the way it is." + +The moral of this story is to respect nature and take only what we need. When we take care of nature, it will take care of us! +Once upon a time there was a young bird who lived all by herself. She was so young that she had never left her nest.

To Mollie's surprise, the monster asked her if she wanted to play. Mollie said yes and the two of them played happily together. + +Moral of the story: We should always be careful and not be quick to judge. It might be that the things that scare us, just need a friend. +Once upon a time, there were two friends named Nan and Ben. They were walking through the forest looking for something fun to do. + +They came across a cross in the middle of the path. It had incredible engravings on it.

It looks too good not to try!" + +Nan shook her head. "No, Ben. We must leave it be.

He heard a voice whisper, "Pass!" + +Jacob wasn't sure what the voice meant, but he decided to obey. He started to walk and soon bumped into something cold and slimy. He touched it and realized it was jelly. He tried to pass the jelly, but it was stuck to him. Then the voice whispered, "Keep going!" + +Jacob proceeded forward and the jelly started to follow him. He went to a door and it opened. Behind the door was a bright, colorful room where children were playing. There was laughter and joy everywhere.

Everywhere she looked things were very messy. She then noticed a wall with a big crack in it.

Jo felt scared and started crying. +Her mum soon came to calm her down and asked her what happened. Jo, speaking through sobs, said “I made the wall tremble, I’m sorry!†+ +Her mum smiled and hugged her. She said “It's okay sweetheart, but maybe don’t touch the wall again. It looks a bit weak and it might be dangerous.†+ +Jo listened carefully and nodded in agreement. She made a promise to herself never to touch the wall again. + +The end. +Sam was always getting into trouble. Today was no different, as he had tied up one of his own shoes with a piece of string. Even though he had gotten in trouble before, Sam was still causing trouble. + +Mom was very angry, and gave him an angry lecture. But Sam didn't care; all he wanted to do was keep playing. + +Mom said "Sam, why did you do this? You need to stop tying things up with string! It's not good for you!" + +But Sam just said, "I like tying things up! I like making things look neat." + +Mom just sighed, and said, "You need to understand that tying things up isn't always neat. Let's go inside and figure out something new for you to do." + +So Sam and Mom went inside and talked some more. Mom explained to Sam why it was important to not tie up his shoe. Sam listened carefully, and said that he would try not to tie any more shoes. + +At the end of the lecture, Sam knew that tying things up could be dangerous and he promised not to do it again.

We'll use some soap and water and soon it'll be as good as new!" + +Sure enough, after a few minutes of cleaning, the mixer was sparkling and ready for action.

A fox peeked out from the bushes and asked, "Why did you suddenly run away?" +Spring replied, "I felt the ground tremble and I was scared." + +The fox smiled and said, "You don't need to be scared. It was just nature waking up. This happens every spring. The ground feels rough when it's waking up." + +Spring was relieved. Now he knew why the ground felt so rough. From then on, he always remembered that the ground can feel rough in spring when nature wakes up. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Max and Stella.

So he started to cry. + +Mommy hugged him and said "Let's go get it." So they went to the tree. Mommy got up close and tried to pull it out from the branch. It was stuck really tight, but she kept trying. Finally, it came free, and she handed it back to Sam. He hugged it tightly, relieved to have it back. + +Mommy said, "Let's never let it get away again!" + +Sam said, "Yes, never let it spin away again!" +Once upon a time, there was a nice couch in a house. A curious dog named Rover was always sniffing around the couch. Every day it would jump up on the couch and make it messy. + +The owners of the house were unhappy and got angry every time this happened. So they came up with a plan. They decided to welcome a new four legged friend to the family - a bunny! + +The bunny hopped around the nice couch, warning Rover not to jump on it by making funny noises.

It was last there a little while ago." + +Sam thanked his neighbor and he hurried to the park as fast as he could.

He loved to rush around a loop in the grass. He would forget everything else and just rush 'round and 'round, faster and faster. + +One day, the bunny saw a big, furry dog running towards him. He got scared and started to rush even faster. The bunny was so fast that he was able to make it around the loop again and again before the dog could catch him. + +The bunny was very brave and strong. He kept going around the loop until the dog gave up and ran away. When the bunny stopped, he was happy and proud of himself. He knew he could outrun anything that tried to stop him. + +The bunny went around the loop many more times after that. He became an expert 'looper' and was the fastest in all the land.

She asked, “What is it?†+ +The first child replied, "I don't know. We should hang around here to find out what it is." So they stayed around to watch and see. + +Soon, a old man walked up to them and said, “That is an owl’s nest. Owls like to sleep and hang out in the darkness of the night.†+ +The two children heard this and smiled. They realized that something that seemed unusual at first could actually be very special. + +The moral of the story is simple: things that seem unusual deserve more attention. Before jumping to conclusions, explore and learn more about the unusual things you come across. +Once upon a time there was a mummy and a daddy who wanted to do something special with their little girl.

Lily was excited to see her grandparents, but she also missed her town. + +During their visit, Lily had a lot of fun playing with her grandparents and exploring their house. But every night, when she went to bed, she thought about her town and how much she missed it. + +Finally, after many days, it was time for Lily and her family to go back home. As they drove back, Lily saw the familiar sights of her town and felt so happy to be back. She realized that even though she had fun on her trip, there was no place like home. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to draw and color.

It is soft and cute." + +Ben likes the toy car. He says, "I want the toy car. It is fast and shiny." + +They both reach for the toy car. They pull and tug. They start to fight. They say, "It is mine! No, it is mine!" + +They make a lot of noise. They do not share. They do not have fun. + +A man comes to the park. He is the bin man. He has a big truck. He says, "What are you doing? This is my bin. These are my old things. You cannot take them. You have to put them back." + +Lily and Ben are scared. They let go of the toy car. They say, "Sorry, bin man. We did not know. We were just playing." + +The bin man says, "It is okay. But you should not fight. You should share. You have your own toys. You have a ball and a bike. They are lively and fun. Why don't you play with them?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "You are right, bin man. Thank you for telling us. We will play with our ball and bike. We will not fight. We will share." + +They go back to their ball and bike. They kick the ball and ride the bike. They take turns and smile. They are friends again. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They did not see the dark clouds in the sky. They did not hear the wind blow hard. + +Mom saw the clouds and the wind. She knew it was going to rain soon. She went outside and called Lily and Ben. "Come inside, kids. It is going to rain. There will be thunder and lightning. It is not safe to play outside." She warned them. + +Lily and Ben did not want to stop playing. They liked their ball. They did not listen to Mom. They said, "We will play for a little more. It is not raining yet. We are not scared of thunder and lightning." + +Mom shook her head and went inside. She hoped they would come soon. She did not like the ugly weather. + +Soon, it started to rain. Big drops of water fell from the sky. They made the ground wet and muddy. Lily and Ben felt the rain on their skin and hair. They did not like it. They wanted to go inside. + +Then, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. It sounded like a big drum. It made them jump. They saw a bright flash. It was lightning. It looked like a big fire. It made them scared. + +They dropped their ball and ran to the house. They knocked on the door. Mom opened the door and let them in. She gave them towels and hugs. She said, "I told you to come inside. It is not safe to play outside when there is thunder and lightning. You should listen to me. I warn you because I love you." + +Lily and Ben said, "We are sorry, Mom. We should have listened to you. We love you too." They learned their lesson. They did not play outside when there was ugly weather. They played inside with their toys and books. They waited for the sun to come back. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toy cars. They have a long cord that they use as a road. They make the cars go fast and slow on the cord. + +"Look, Anna, I can make my car go faster than yours!" Ben says. + +"No, you can't, Ben, my car is faster!" Anna says. + +They both push their cars harder on the cord. The cord gets tighter and tighter. + +"Be careful, Ben, the cord might break!" Anna says. + +"I don't care, Anna, I want to win!" Ben says. + +Suddenly, the cord snaps. The cars fly off the cord and hit the wall. Anna and Ben are shocked. + +"Oh no, we broke the cord!" Ben says. + +"That was a bad idea, Ben, the cord was important!" Anna says. + +They look at the cord. It is in two pieces. They feel sad. + +"I'm sorry, Anna, I was silly. Can we fix the cord?" Ben says. + +"I don't know, Ben, maybe we can. Let's try to tie it together." Anna says. + +They pick up the cord and try to make a knot. It is hard. They need help. + +"Mom, Dad, can you help us?" Anna and Ben say. + +Mom and Dad come to see what happened. They see the broken cord and the toy cars. + +"What happened here, Anna and Ben?" Mom says. + +"We were playing with the cord and the cars, and we made the cord break. We are sorry, Mom, Dad, the cord was important." Anna and Ben say. + +Mom and Dad smile. They hug Anna and Ben. + +"It's okay, Anna and Ben, we are not angry. The cord was important, but you are more important. We can fix the cord together. But next time, be more careful and gentle with your toys." Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom, Dad, we will. Thank you for helping us." Anna and Ben say. + +They fix the cord with Mom and Dad. They make it longer and stronger. They play with the cord and the cars again. But this time, they don't make the cord increase too much. They share and have fun. They are happy. +Tom likes to help his dad with the lawn. The lawn is the green part of the yard where Tom can run and play. Sometimes the lawn grows too long and dad has to cut it with a big machine. Tom wants to cut the lawn too, but dad says he is too small. + +One day, dad gives Tom a special job. He gives him a long tape with numbers on it. He says it is a measure. He tells Tom to measure how long the lawn is and how wide it is. Tom is very happy. He takes the measure and walks along the lawn. He looks at the numbers and says them out loud. He thinks he is very smart. + +When he is done, he tells dad the numbers. Dad writes them down on a paper. He says he is proud of Tom. He says he needs the numbers to buy some seeds. He says the seeds will make the lawn more green and pretty. He says he will plant them with Tom when they are old. Tom smiles. He likes to help his dad with the lawn. He likes to measure. He likes to learn new words. He can't wait to plant the seeds with dad. He thinks they will have fun. +Tom and Lily like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They drive them on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. They make noises like vroom, beep, honk. + +One day, they decide to drive their cars to the fireplace. The fireplace is big and warm. It has red and yellow fire inside. Tom and Lily think the fire is pretty, but they know it is hot and dangerous. They do not touch the fire. + +They park their cars near the fireplace, but not too close. They pretend their cars are camping. They use sticks and stones to make a small fire. They use leaves and grass to make a tent. They use cookies and juice to make a picnic. + +They have fun playing with their cars and their fire. They tell stories and sing songs. They are careful not to let their fire get too big or too close to the fireplace. They are happy and cozy. + +When it is time to go to bed, they put out their fire with water. They pack their cars and their things. They say good night to the fireplace and the fire. They go to their room and sleep. They dream of driving their cars to other places. +Lily and Sam wanted to go to the park. They liked to play on the swings and slides. But they did not know how to get there. They asked their mom for help. + +Mom said, "I have a map for you. It shows you the way to the park. You can print it and take it with you." + +Lily and Sam were happy. They went to the computer and clicked on the print button. The map came out of the printer. It had pictures of streets and houses and trees. + +Lily and Sam looked at the map. They saw a big red X on the park. They saw a blue line from their home to the park. They followed the blue line with their fingers. + +"Let's go, Sam!" Lily said. She grabbed the map and ran to the door. + +"Wait, Lily!" Sam said. He was anxious. He did not like to get lost. "What if we can't read the map? What if we make a mistake?" + +"Don't worry, Sam," Lily said. She smiled at him. "We can do it. The map will help us. And mom will be here when we come back. Come on, it will be fun!" + +Lily and Sam put on their shoes and jackets. They held the map and each other's hands. They walked out of the door. They were ready to go to the park. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bathtub with their toys. They have a duck, a boat, a frog and a ball.

They pull and tug and shout. + +"Give me the duck!" Sara says. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. + +"Give me the boat!" Sara says. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. + +They are very angry and sad. They do not want to share. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the bathroom. She sees the water on the floor and the toys in the air. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom says. "You are making a big mess. And you are not being nice to each other. You have to share your toys and say sorry." + +Sara and Ben stop fighting. They look at Mom and then at each other. They feel bad. They know Mom is right. + +"Sorry, Sara," Ben says. + +"Sorry, Ben," Sara says. + +They hug and smile. They give each other a toy. They play together again. + +Mom is glad. She gets a towel and wipes the water on the floor. She helps Sara and Ben get out of the bathtub and dry off. + +"You are good twins," Mom says. "But you are also silly twins. Next time, be careful and kind in the bathtub." + +Sara and Ben nod and giggle. They love Mom and they love each other. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a copper coin. Lily picked it up and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, I found a copper!" she said. + +"Wow, can I see?" Tom asked. + +Lily gave him the coin. He looked at it and smiled. + +"It's very pretty. Can I keep it?" he said. + +"No, it's mine. I found it first. Give it back!" Lily said. + +They started to pull the coin from each other. They did not want to share. They shouted and cried. + +A big dog heard them. He ran to them and barked. He wanted the coin too. He jumped on them and bit them. He took the coin and ran away. + +Lily and Tom were hurt and scared. They had no copper and no fun. They had a bad day. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pretty dress. Anna always took Lily with her when she went outside. + +One day, Anna and her mom went to the park. Anna brought Lily along. She put Lily on a bench and ran to the slide. She had fun sliding and swinging and climbing. She forgot about Lily. + +A boy saw Lily on the bench. He liked her hair and her dress. He picked her up and said, "This is my doll now." He ran away with Lily. + +Anna remembered Lily. She looked for her on the bench, but she was gone. She felt sad and scared. She cried, "Mom, mom, where is Lily? She belongs to me!" + +Mom heard Anna. She saw the boy with Lily. She ran after him and said, "Stop, stop, that is not your doll. That is Anna's doll. Give her back, please." + +The boy stopped. He looked at Mom and Anna. He saw that Anna was crying. He felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. She is a pretty doll. Here, you can have her back." + +He gave Lily back to Anna. Anna hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, thank you. I love you, Lily. You are my doll." + +Mom hugged Anna and said, "I'm glad you have Lily back. She is a special doll. But remember, you have to watch your toys when you play outside. You don't want to lose them again." + +Anna nodded and said, "I know, Mom. I will be careful. I don't want to lose Lily. She is my best friend." + +They smiled and went home. Anna and Lily were happy. They belonged together. +Ben and Lily are playing in the backyard. They have a big box and some tools. They want to make a house for their toys. + +"Let me use the hammer," Ben says. He is bossy. He likes to tell Lily what to do. + +"No, I want to use the hammer," Lily says. She is not happy. She likes to do things her way. + +They both grab the hammer and pull. The hammer breaks in two. They are sad and angry. + +"Look what you did!" Ben shouts. + +"It's your fault!" Lily shouts back. + +They sit on the ground and cry. + +Mom hears them and comes outside. She sees the broken hammer and the big box. + +"What happened here?" she asks. + +Ben and Lily tell her what they were doing and how they fought. + +Mom hugs them and says, "I'm sorry you broke your hammer. But you can still make a house. You can use glue and tape and scissors. And you can work together and share. That's more fun than fighting." + +Ben and Lily nod. They say sorry to each other. They hug and smile. + +Mom helps them to fix the hammer and to cut and glue the box. They make a nice house for their toys. They put a sign on the door that says, "Ben and Lily's House". + +They serve tea and cookies to their toys. They have a party. They are happy. They thank Mom for helping them. + +Mom says, "You're welcome. I'm proud of you. You are good builders and good friends." +Lily was a little girl who loved to play in the woods. She liked to look for bugs, flowers and animals. One day, she saw a red fox hiding behind a tree. She wanted to make friends with the fox, so she walked slowly towards it. + +"Hello, fox," she said. "Can I play with you?" + +The fox looked at Lily with fear and anger. He had a big wound on his leg, and it hurt a lot. He had been chased by a mean dog, and he barely escaped. He did not want to talk to anyone, especially a human. + +"Go away, girl," he snapped. "You are not welcome here. This is my home, and you are a stranger." + +Lily felt sad and confused. She did not mean to bother the fox, she just wanted to be nice. She wondered why the fox was so rude and mean. She looked at his leg, and saw the blood and dirt. She realized that the fox was hurt, and that he needed help. + +"Fox, I'm sorry," she said. "I did not know you were hurt. Can I help you? I have a bandage in my backpack. Maybe I can make your leg feel better." + +The fox was surprised by Lily's words. He did not expect her to be kind and caring. He felt ashamed of his harsh words. He saw that Lily was sincere, and that she had a good heart. He decided to give her a chance. + +"Thank you, girl," he said. "Maybe you can help me. But you have to be careful. The mean dog might come back. He does not like me, or you." + +Lily nodded. She took out her bandage, and gently wrapped it around the fox's leg. She also gave him some water and a cookie from her backpack. The fox felt a little better, and he smiled at Lily. + +"You are a good girl," he said. "You are brave and kind. What is your name?" + +"My name is Lily," she said. "What is yours?" + +"My name is Rex," he said. "I am a fox. And you are my friend." + +Lily and Rex became friends. They played in the woods, and learned from each other. They also watched out for the mean dog, and stayed away from him. They were happy, and they were not ashamed. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a small table with chairs. They liked to pretend they were having tea parties or picnics on the table. + +One day, a big dog came into the garden. It was not their dog. It was a stray dog. It was filthy and hungry. It saw the table and smelled the food. It ran towards the table and knocked it over. The food and the cups fell on the ground. The dog started to eat and bark. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They ran to the house and called their mom. "Mom, mom, there is a big dog in the garden. It is filthy and mean. It broke our table and ate our food. Help us, mom!" + +Mom came out of the house. She saw the dog and the mess. She was angry and worried. She grabbed a broom and shouted at the dog. "Go away, dog. Leave our garden. You are not welcome here. Shoo, shoo!" + +The dog was startled by mom's voice and the broom. It stopped eating and ran away. Mom chased it until it was out of sight. Then she came back to Tom and Lily. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. You are safe now. I rescued you from the dog. I'm sorry it ruined your table and your food. We will clean up and get a new table. Come on, let's go inside and have some cookies and milk." + +Tom and Lily smiled and thanked mom. They followed her to the house. They were happy that mom rescued them and that they still had cookies and milk. They decided to play inside for the rest of the day. They hoped the dog would find a nice home and a good owner. +Tim liked to collect rocks. He had many rocks of different colors and shapes in his room. He liked to learn about them and what they were called. He knew some rocks were minerals, like salt and quartz. He was proud of his rocks. + +One day, he brought some of his rocks to school. He wanted to show them to his friends and teacher. He put them on his desk and waited for the others to come. He hoped they would like his rocks too. + +But when Lily came, she laughed at his rocks. She said they were boring and ugly. She said he was silly for liking rocks. She said rocks were not toys or fun. She said he should play with dolls or cars instead. She made fun of him in front of everyone. Tim felt very sad and embarrassed. He wished he had not brought his rocks to school. + +Then, Ben came. He saw Tim's rocks and smiled. He said they were cool and interesting. He said he liked rocks too. He said he had some rocks at home that he could bring to school. He said he wanted to be Tim's friend and learn more about his rocks. He said he could introduce him to other kids who liked rocks too. He said rocks were awesome and fun. He said he did not care what Lily said. He was nice to Tim and made him feel happy. Tim smiled and thanked Ben. He was glad he had met Ben. + +Lily saw Tim and Ben talking and playing with the rocks. She felt angry and jealous. She wanted to have friends and fun too. She realized she had been mean and rude to Tim. She felt sorry and ashamed. She decided to say sorry to Tim and Ben. She hoped they would forgive her and let her join them. She wanted to learn about rocks too. She thought maybe rocks were not so bad after all. +Tom and Sue wanted to decorate their room. They liked yellow, so they painted the walls yellow. They also had a big poster of golf, because their dad played golf. They put the poster on the wall, next to their bed. + +But their mom did not like the poster. She said it was too big and too loud. She wanted them to take it down. Tom and Sue did not want to take it down. They said it was their room and their poster. They argued with their mom. + +Their dad came home from work. He saw the yellow walls and the golf poster. He smiled and said he liked them. He said they were bright and fun. He asked Tom and Sue if they wanted to play golf with him on the weekend. They said yes, they wanted to play golf. + +Their mom was not happy. She said golf was boring and hard. She said she wanted to do something else on the weekend. She said they should take down the poster and paint the walls a different color. She said they should decorate their room like other kids. + +Tom and Sue did not know what to do. They liked their mom, but they also liked their dad. They liked their room, but they also wanted to make their mom happy. They asked their dad what they should do. + +Their dad thought for a moment. He said they should compromise. He said they could keep the poster, but make it smaller. He said they could keep the yellow walls, but add some other colors. He said they could play golf with him, but also do something else with their mom. He said they should decorate their room and their life with love and respect. + +Tom and Sue liked that idea. They hugged their dad and their mom. They said they were sorry for arguing. They said they loved them both. They said they would compromise. They learned that decorating was not only about colors and pictures, but also about feelings and choices. +Tom was a rabbit who liked to travel. He had a big backpack with many things inside. He had a map, a hat, a ball, a book, and some carrots. He was very organized and knew where to find everything. + +One day, he decided to travel to the lake. He followed the map and hopped along the path. He saw many flowers, birds, and bugs. He said hello to them and they said hello back.

I like to play music. Where are you from?" + +Tom told her about his home, his backpack, and his map. Mia told him about her rock, her flute, and her song. They found out that they had many things in common. They liked to learn new things, to see new places, and to make new friends. + +They decided to travel together. They shared their backpacks, their map, and their flute. They played, sang, and hopped along the path. They saw more flowers, birds, and bugs. They said hello to them and they said hello back. They were very friendly and happy. +Ben and Lily wanted to play in the tent. They liked to pretend they were camping in the woods. They had a flashlight, a blanket and some snacks. They put the tent in the backyard and crawled inside. + +But Tom, their big brother, did not want them to play in the tent. He said it was his tent and he needed it for his friends. He came to the backyard and saw Ben and Lily in the tent. He was angry and yelled at them. + +"Get out of my tent, you little brats! This is not your tent, this is mine! You have to yield to me, I am older and stronger than you!" + +Ben and Lily were scared and sad. They did not want to fight with Tom, but they also did not want to leave the tent. They liked the tent and they did not do anything wrong. They tried to talk to Tom. + +"Please, Tom, can we play in the tent for a little while? We are having fun and we are not hurting the tent. We will share the tent with you and your friends. You can join us if you want." + +But Tom did not listen. He grabbed the tent and pulled it hard. He wanted to take the tent away from Ben and Lily. But he pulled too hard and the tent ripped. The flashlight fell and broke. The blanket and the snacks flew out of the tent. The tent was ruined. + +Tom was shocked and ashamed. He did not mean to break the tent. He knew he was wrong and he felt sorry. He looked at Ben and Lily and saw their tears and their fear. He wished he had not been so mean and selfish. + +He said to Ben and Lily, "I am sorry, Ben and Lily. I was a bad brother. I should not have yelled at you and tried to take the tent. I should have let you play and shared the tent with you. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben and Lily were still upset, but they also loved Tom. They knew he was not always bad and he sometimes did nice things for them. They decided to forgive him and hugged him. + +They said to Tom, "We forgive you, Tom. We love you, even when you are angry. But please, do not break our things again. And next time, can we play in the tent together?" +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and find bugs and stones. They had a big sack to put their treasures in. They were very happy. + +But then they saw a big cat. The cat was black and white and had a long tail. The cat was looking at their sack. The cat wanted to see what was inside. The cat jumped on the sack and scratched it with its claws. + +"Hey, stop that!" Anna shouted. "That is our sack! Go away, bad cat!" + +The cat did not listen. It made a hole in the sack and pulled out a shiny stone. The cat liked the stone. It ran away with the stone in its mouth. + +Anna and Ben were very sad. They had worked hard to find the stone. It was their favorite treasure. They looked at their sack. It was torn and dirty. Some of their bugs and stones had fallen out. + +They ran after the cat. They wanted to get their stone back. But the cat was too fast. It climbed a tree and hid in the branches. It looked down at Anna and Ben and meowed. + +"Please, give us our stone back!" Ben said. "You have many toys. We only have one stone. You disturb our game. You are not nice." + +The cat looked at Ben. It saw his sad face. It felt sorry. It did not mean to make Anna and Ben sad. It only wanted to play. It dropped the stone from the tree. It landed near Ben's feet. + +"Thank you, cat!" Ben said. He picked up the stone and hugged it. He showed it to Anna. Anna smiled. She was happy again. + +The cat jumped down from the tree. It walked to Anna and Ben. It rubbed its head against their legs. It purred. + +"Can we be friends?" the cat said. "I am sorry I disturb your game. I like your sack. Can I play with you?" + +Anna and Ben looked at the cat. They saw its big eyes and soft fur. They felt sorry too. They liked the cat. They nodded. + +"OK, cat. You can play with us. But you have to be gentle. And you have to share. Do you understand?" Anna said. + +The cat nodded. It understood. It was happy too. It followed Anna and Ben to their sack. They played together in the garden. They shared their bugs and stones. They had fun. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they make a big mess. Their mom tells them to clean up before they can have a snack. + +One day, Anna and Ben find a big bar of chocolate in the kitchen. They want to eat it, but they know mom will be angry. They decide to hide it in their room and eat it later. + +They go to their room and see their toys all over the floor. They don't want to clean up. They want to eat the chocolate. They break the bar into two pieces and start to eat. The chocolate is yummy, but it is also messy. It melts on their fingers and faces. It drips on their clothes and the bed. It stains the carpet and the walls. + +Mom comes to check on them. She knocks on the door and says, "Anna, Ben, are you done cleaning up? Can I come in?" + +Anna and Ben panic. They try to hide the chocolate and the mess. They lie on the bed and cover themselves with a blanket. They say, "Yes, mom, we are done. You can come in." + +Mom opens the door and sees the room. She sees the chocolate wrappers, the stains, and the crumbs. She sees Anna and Ben under the blanket. She is not happy. She says, "Anna, Ben, what is this? Did you eat the chocolate? Did you lie to me?" + +Anna and Ben feel guilty. They peek out from the blanket and say, "Sorry, mom. We were hungry. We wanted the chocolate. We lied to you." + +Mom sighs. She says, "Anna, Ben, lying is bad. Eating chocolate is okay, but not without asking. And making a mess is not okay, either. You have to clean up after yourselves. Now, come on, let's go to the bathroom and wash up. Then, you have to help me clean the room. And no more chocolate for today." + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Okay, mom. We are sorry. We will not lie again. We will clean up. We love you, mom." + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you, too, Anna and Ben. But next time, please listen to me and be good." +Lily was a creative girl who liked to draw and make things. She had a big box of crayons and papers and stickers and glue. She also had a toy doctor kit with a stethoscope and a bandage and a pretend x-ray. + +One day, Lily decided to play doctor with her teddy bear. She put the stethoscope on his chest and listened to his heart. She said, "You have a strong heart, teddy. But I think you have a broken bone in your arm. Let me see your x-ray." She took out the pretend x-ray and held it up to the light. She saw a dark line on the arm. She said, "Oh no, teddy. You have a fracture. You need a bandage and some rest." + +She wrapped the bandage around his arm and gave him a hug. She said, "Don't worry, teddy. You will get better soon. I believe in you. You are brave and strong." She put him on her bed and gave him a kiss. She said, "I will be back soon. I have to make you a get well card." + +She went to her box of crayons and papers and stickers and glue. She chose a blue paper and a red crayon. She wrote, "Get well soon, teddy. I love you." She drew a heart and a flower and a smiley face. She added some stickers and some glitter. She said, "This is a beautiful card. Teddy will like it." + +She ran back to her bed and gave the card to teddy. She said, "Look, teddy. I made you a card. It says I love you and I hope you feel better. Do you like it?" Teddy nodded and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good doctor and a creative girl. I love you too." They hugged and cuddled and fell asleep. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they wanted to make a cake for their mom, who was at work. They found a recipe book and some ingredients in the kitchen. They tried to follow the steps, but they did not know some of the words. + +"What is this word?" Lily asked, pointing at the book. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it means butter." + +They took a big block of butter and put it in a bowl. Then they added some eggs, flour, sugar, and milk. They mixed everything with a spoon, but it was very hard. The butter was too cold and did not melt. + +"This is not good," Lily said. "The cake will be bad." + +"Maybe we need to make it warm," Ben said. He had an idea. He took the bowl and put it in the microwave. He pressed some buttons and waited. + +"Beep, beep, beep!" The microwave made a loud noise. Lily and Ben ran to see what happened. They opened the door and saw a big mess. The butter had exploded and splattered all over the microwave and the kitchen. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben cried. "Mom will be so mad!" + +They heard the door open. It was their mom. She came in and saw the disaster. She was very surprised. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They told her the truth. They wanted to make a cake for her, but they did not know how. They used the wrong word and put the butter in the microwave. + +Mom smiled. She was not mad. She hugged them and said, "Thank you for trying to make a cake for me. That was very sweet of you. But next time, please ask me for help. And don't put butter in the microwave. It is very dangerous." + +Lily and Ben learned a lesson. They learned to ask for help when they don't know something. And they learned to be careful with the microwave. They helped mom clean the kitchen and then they ate some cookies instead of cake. They were happy. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with a ball. They kicked the ball to each other in the yard. Sometimes they kicked the ball too hard and it went over the fence. Then they had to ask the old man next door to give it back. + +The old man was very wise. He had many books and photos in his house. He liked to tell stories about the people and places in the photos. He said he had been to many lands and seen many things. Tim and Sam liked to listen to him, but they also wanted to play with their ball. + +One day, they kicked the ball over the fence again. They ran to the old man's door and knocked.

I am sorry I could not say goodbye. I hope you will remember me and my stories. I have left you a gift. It is a photo of me and my wife. We were very happy. I want you to be happy too. Keep playing with your ball and kicking it high. Love, the old man." + +Tim and Sam looked at the photo. It was very old and faded, but they could see the old man and his wife smiling.

"Why did you do that?" + +"I wanted to fill my pen with ink," Tom says. "But the bottle was too heavy and slippery. I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Mom." + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She sees the ink and the broken bottle. She is angry. She does not like the mess either. + +"Tom, Lily, what happened here?" she asks. "Who did this?" + +Tom and Lily look at each other.

They rode their bikes through the gate and saw a big house that looked very old and scary. It had broken windows and spider webs and no one lived there. + +"Wow, this house is ancient!" Ben said. "I wonder what is inside." + +"Let's go and find out," Mia said. "Maybe we can find some treasure or a secret passage." + +They left their bikes outside and went into the house. They walked through the dark halls and rooms, looking for something fun. They saw old furniture, dusty books, and strange paintings. They also heard some noises, like creaks and squeaks and howls. + +"Did you hear that?" Ben asked. "It sounds like a ghost." + +"Don't be silly," Mia said. "There are no ghosts. It's just the wind or a mouse." + +They kept walking until they reached a door that had a sign that said "Do not enter". They were curious and wanted to see what was behind the door. They opened it and saw a big machine that had wires and buttons and lights. It looked like a rocket or a spaceship. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Mia said. "I wonder what it does." + +"Let's find out," Ben said. He pushed a button and the machine started to make a loud noise. It was an alarm! + +"Uh-oh, we did something bad," Mia said. "We have to get out of here." + +They ran out of the door and back to the hall. But they saw that the gate was closed and locked. They were trapped in the house! + +They started to cry and shout for help. They hoped that someone would hear them and come to save them. + +They did not know that the machine was an ancient time machine that the owner of the house had built.

You are very nice. I love you too. You are my best friend," Anna said. They hugged and smiled. + +They went home and told their moms what happened.

Why are you fighting over a book?" + +Max and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at Mom. They both tried to explain. + +Max said, "That's my book, Mom. It's a book about true facts. It's very interesting and cool. But Lily took it from the shelf. She can't read that book. It's too hard for her. She should read her own books." + +Lily said, "But I want to read that book, Mom. It's a yellow book. I like the color yellow. I want to learn what True means. I don't like my own books. They are boring and easy." + +Mom looked at the book. She looked at Max and Lily. She smiled and said, "I have an idea. Why don't we read the book together? I can help you with the hard words. And you can both learn something new and true. And maybe you can also find something fun and easy in the book. What do you think?" + +Max and Lily thought about it. They nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. That sounds good." + +Mom took the book and sat on the bed. Max and Lily sat next to her. They opened the book and started to read. They learned about true facts.

He does not want to fix it. He wants to explain to Lily why he painted a yellow sky. But he cannot. Ben is deaf. He cannot hear Lily's words. He cannot speak Lily's words.

It runs away with it in its mouth. + +Lily and Ben are very sad and scared. They hug each other and cry. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" they say. + +A man comes running after the dog. He is the dog's owner. He sees Lily and Ben and their ruined picnic. He feels sorry and ashamed. + +"I'm so sorry, kids!" he says. "My dog is very naughty and greedy. He escaped from his leash. He should not have taken your cheese. Are you OK?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They are still upset, but they are glad the man is nice. + +"It's OK, mister," Lily says. "But we don't have any cheese now." + +The man thinks for a moment. He has an idea. + +"I have some cookies in my bag," he says. "Would you like some? They are chocolate and peanut butter. They are very yummy." + +Lily and Ben smile. They like cookies. They say yes, please. + +The man gives them some cookies. He also gives them a bottle of water. He apologizes again and says goodbye.

Lily says, pointing to her tower. + +"I have nine blocks," Tom says, showing his bridge. "But mine is longer than yours." + +They compare their blocks and see who has more or less. They are having fun and sharing nicely. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise from outside. It is a big truck that makes a lot of smoke and honks its horn. The truck scares Lily and Tom. They drop their blocks and run to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there is a scary truck outside!" Lily cries. + +"Shh, it's okay, it's just a truck. It will go away soon," Mom says, hugging them. "Come, let's go to the couch and read a book. It will be peaceful and quiet." + +Lily and Tom follow Mom to the couch. They pick a book with animals and colors. Mom reads to them and they point to the pictures. They forget about the truck and feel calm and happy. They like to read with Mom. +Sara was a shy girl. She did not like to talk to new people.

His name is Fluffy. He likes to play with children. Do you want to pet him?" + +Sara shook her head. She did not want to pet the cat. She wanted to play with her telephone. She took it out of her bag and pressed the buttons. She pretended to call her mom. + +"Hello, mom. I miss you. Can we go home soon?" + +Her mom heard her and said, "Sara, I'm right here. I'm not on the phone. I'm in the kitchen. Why don't you come and join us? We have cookies and milk for you." + +Sara felt shy. She did not want to leave her telephone. She said, "No, thank you.

Can we go outside and play now?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's say sorry to the cat. He's not happy. He's scared. He didn't mean to make you fall. He's just a cat. He needs love too." + +Sara nodded. She looked at the cat. She said, "Sorry, Fluffy. I didn't see you. I hope you're okay. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The cat looked at her. He meowed.

I buried my toys in it!" + +Sarah was a bit scared, but she still asked: "Who's there?" + +The voice answered: "It's me, your friend John. I buried my toys in the box so they won't get wet in the rain." + +Sarah smiled.

The old man asked, "Where are you going?" + +"I'm going to the store to buy a mug. It's going to make my life exciting," replied Bob. + +The old man said, "Quitting your job and selling your house won't make you happy. Don't waste your time or your money.

"I think you should store it in your room so it doesn't get lost." + +"But I want to play with it!" Tom said. + +"We can play with it later," Mom said. "But first we need to store it somewhere safe. It looks very fragile and weak. We don't want it to break, do we?" + +Tom thought about it for a moment, then said, "Okay, Mom. I'll store it in my room." + +So Tom kept his big marble in a special box in his room.

Let's share what we each want. We can have something sweet and something spicy.†Maggie and Daisy nodded in agreement, and soon all three of them were enjoying the sweet and the spicy. + +Suddenly, Maggie got an angry look in her eyes.

They said goodbye to the hook and promised to come back and play with it again. Lily skipped all the way home, happy that she had found something so great to share with her friends. +Once upon a time, there was a big elephant named Ellie. Ellie had a big trunk that she used to eat lots of yummy leaves. One day, Ellie decided she wanted to travel to the other side of the forest to visit her friend, Tommy the turtle. + +Ellie packed a big trunk full of bananas and apples to share with Tommy. She was feeling very generous. As she walked through the forest, she met a little bird named Billy. + +"Hello, Ellie!" said Billy. "Where are you going with that big trunk?" + +"I'm going to visit my friend, Tommy the turtle," replied Ellie. "I have lots of yummy fruit to share with him." + +"That's very kind of you," said Billy. "Can I come with you?" + +"Of course!" said Ellie. "The more friends, the merrier!" + +So, Ellie, Billy, and the big trunk full of fruit continued on their journey to visit Tommy. When they arrived, Tommy was very happy to see them and they all shared the delicious fruit together. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a jolly little bird named Tweetie. Tweetie loved to fly and sing in the trees. One day, Tweetie saw a big leaf move on the ground. Tweetie thought it would be fun to play with the leaf. + +Tweetie hopped down to the ground and started to play with the leaf. But suddenly, a big gust of wind came and blew the leaf away. Tweetie tried to catch the leaf, but it was too fast. Tweetie was sad and flew back to the tree. + +As Tweetie sat on a branch, a big cat came along. The cat saw Tweetie and wanted to eat him for dinner. Tweetie tried to fly away, but the cat was too fast. The cat caught Tweetie and ate him up. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a big fight in the playground. Two boys wanted to play with the same toy car and they started to push each other. One boy had a suit on, but it got all dirty from rolling on the ground. + +The other kids didn't like the fight and they tried to stop it. They said, "Stop fighting! It's not nice to be mean to each other." The boys listened and said sorry to each other. They even shared the toy car and played together nicely. + +After the fight, the boy in the dirty suit went home to tell his mom what happened. She said, "It's okay to get dirty sometimes. It means you had fun playing outside." The boy smiled and felt better. He knew that playing with friends was more important than having a clean suit. +Once upon a time, there was a big and rich king who lived in a castle. He had many toys and sweets to eat. One day, he saw a little boy who was staring at him. The king asked the boy, "Why are you staring at me?" + +The little boy said, "I want to fight you and take all your toys and sweets." + +The king laughed and said, "I don't want to fight. But I can share my toys and sweets with you." + +The little boy was happy and they became friends. The king realized that being kind is better than fighting. +Once upon a time, there was a grumpy lizard. He didn't like to play with the other lizards. He always stayed alone in his corner. One day, a little boy saw the lizard and wanted to play with him. But the grumpy lizard didn't want to play with the boy, so he hid in a hole. + +The little boy felt sad and started to weep. He really wanted to play with the grumpy lizard. But the lizard didn't come out of the hole. So, the little boy went home and told his mom about the grumpy lizard. + +The next day, the little boy went back to the lizard's hole. But the lizard was still grumpy and didn't want to play. Suddenly, a big bird came and took the grumpy lizard away. The little boy started to weep again because he never got to play with the grumpy lizard. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a happy little boy named Timmy. Timmy liked to play with his toy cars outside. One day, he saw his neighbor, Mr. Johnson, walking by. Mr. Johnson was carrying a heavy bag of groceries. Timmy said hello and Mr. Johnson smiled and said hello back. + +Timmy then took out his favorite car and started to zoom it around. Mr. Johnson watched and smiled. Timmy asked if Mr. Johnson wanted to play cars with him. Mr. Johnson said yes and they played together for a while. + +After they finished playing, Mr. Johnson thanked Timmy for the fun and went home. Timmy felt happy that he made a new friend and couldn't wait to play with him again. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play with his toy weapons and pretend he was a superhero. One day, Timmy was playing with his toys outside when his friend Billy came over. + +"Wow, Timmy! I admire your cool toy sword," said Billy, who was enthusiastic about playing with Timmy. + +"Thanks, Billy! Do you want to play superheroes with me?" asked Timmy. + +"Sure, but can I borrow your toy weapon?" asked Billy. + +"Of course! Here you go," said Timmy, handing Billy the toy sword. + +Timmy and Billy played together for hours, fighting imaginary villains and saving the day. They both had so much fun and were very enthusiastic about playing together.

He was very rich and had lots of money. One day, he went to the forest to scatter some seeds. He wanted to grow some trees. + +But then, he saw a dead bird on the ground.

He was very scared and tried to call for help. But nobody was there to hear him. + +The man never came back home. His family looked for him everywhere, but they couldn't find him.

She loved to play with her toys and read books. One day, her friend, a frog, came to visit her. The frog said, "Lily, do you dare to come to my pond and play with me?" + +Lily was scared of the pond, but she wanted to be brave. She said, "Yes, I dare to come to your pond and play with you." So, they went to the pond and played together. + +As they played, the frog said, "Lily, will you marry me?" + +Lily was surprised and said, "No, I can't marry you. You are a frog, and I am a princess. It would be a fake marriage." + +The frog was sad, but he understood. Lily went back to her castle, and the frog went back to his pond. They knew they would always be friends. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and run around outside. One night, she went to bed and started to dream. In her dream, she was flying high up in the sky like a bird. She felt so happy and free. + +When she woke up, she saw her mom holding a zip-up hoodie. Lily loved the hoodie because it kept her warm and cozy. Her mom said, "It's a little chilly outside, but don't worry, you'll be fine with this hoodie." Lily put on the hoodie and zipped it up all the way to her chin. + +Later that day, Lily and her mom went for a walk in the park. They saw a beautiful butterfly fluttering around. Lily said, "I dreamt about flying like a bird last night." Her mom smiled and said, "That sounds like a wonderful dream." Lily felt happy and content as she enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine. +Once upon a time, there was a little bird named Tweety. Tweety loved to sing and fly in the sky. One day, Tweety saw a beautiful blue sky and became very happy. + +But then, Tweety saw a big cat named Sylvester who wanted to catch him. Tweety tried to fly away, but Sylvester was too fast. Tweety became very frustrated and sad. + +Suddenly, Tweety had an idea! He flew to a nearby tree and became very still. Sylvester thought Tweety was gone and went away. Tweety was relieved and became happy again. From that day on, Tweety always looked for a blue sky and avoided Sylvester. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved playing with her dolls and pretending they were real. One day, Lily's friend Emily came over to play. Emily brought her favorite doll, but Lily noticed something strange about it. + +"Lily, do you like my new doll?" asked Emily. + +"It's pretty, but something looks fake about it," replied Lily. + +Emily looked at her doll and realized that it was missing some of its power. "Oh no, I forgot to set the batteries!" she exclaimed. + +Lily helped Emily set the batteries in the doll and it came to life. They played with the dolls all day, having lots of fun. As the sun began to set, Emily said goodbye and went home. Lily went to bed, dreaming of all the adventures she would have with her dolls. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big box under a tree. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they found many things: a hat, a scarf, a ball, a book, and a crown. + +"Wow, look at this crown!" Lily said. "It is shiny and has many colors. I want to wear it." + +She put the crown on her head. It was too big for her. It fell over her eyes. + +"Ha ha, you look funny!" Max said. "The crown is too big for you. Let me try it." + +He took the crown from Lily and put it on his head. It was too big for him too. It slid down his neck. + +"Ouch, this crown is heavy!" Max said. "And it is thin and sharp. It hurts my neck. I don't like it." + +He took the crown off and put it back in the box. + +"Maybe this crown is not for us," Lily said. "Maybe it is for someone else. Someone bigger and stronger." + +"Who do you think it is for?" Max asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. Then she said, "I guess it is for a king or a queen. They wear crowns like this. They live in big castles and have many people to help them." + +"Wow, a king or a queen!" Max said. "That sounds cool. I wish I could meet them." + +"Maybe we can," Lily said. "Maybe we can find their castle and say hello. Maybe they will let us play with their toys and eat their cake." + +"Let's go then," Max said. "Let's find the king or the queen who owns this crown." + +They closed the box and left it under the tree. They held hands and ran to look for the castle. They did not know that the crown was not a real crown. It was a toy crown that someone had left behind. But they did not care. They were happy to imagine and explore. +Lily was very excite. Today was her birthday and she had a big cake and many presents. She wanted to open them all right now, but Mommy said she had to wait for her friends to come. Lily did not like to wait. She was a little bossy and wanted to do what she wanted. + +Soon, her friends came and they played games and sang songs. Lily had fun, but she still wanted to open her presents. She saw a big box with a bow and she thought it was for her. She ran to the box and tried to pull the bow. But Mommy stopped her and said, "No, Lily, that is not your present. That is for your cousin Max. He is coming later. You have to share and be nice." + +Lily was not happy. She did not want to share. She wanted the big box. She pouted and crossed her arms. She did not want to play anymore. She wanted to open her presents. + +Mommy saw that Lily was sad and gave her a hug. She said, "Lily, I know you are excite, but you have to be patient. You have many presents that are for you. And you will love the one that is in the big box. It is very special and it is from me and Daddy. But you have to wait until everyone is here. Can you do that for me?" + +Lily looked at Mommy and nodded. She loved Mommy and Daddy and she wanted to see their present. She said, "OK, Mommy, I will wait. But can I have a piece of cake?" + +Mommy smiled and said, "Of course, you can have a piece of cake. It is your birthday, after all. Come on, let's go to the table and blow the candles. And then you can open your presents." + +Lily smiled and followed Mommy. She was still very excite, but she was also a little curious. What was in the big box? She hoped it was something she would like. She hoped it was a doll or a book or a dress. She could not wait to find out. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big bag of potatoes on the floor. Tom had an idea. + +"Let's make potato people!" he said. "We can use eyes, noses, mouths and hair from the fridge." + +Lily liked the idea. She nodded and smiled. They took some potatoes and some food from the fridge. They started to make potato people. + +They made a potato with grapes for eyes, a carrot for a nose, a banana for a mouth and cheese for hair. They made another potato with olives for eyes, a pickle for a nose, a tomato for a mouth and lettuce for hair. They made many more potato people. They had fun. + +But then Mom came into the kitchen. She saw the mess. She saw the potato people. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You are wasting food. You are making a mess. You are crazy!" + +Tom and Lily looked at Mom. They looked at the potato people. They felt bad. + +"We are sorry, Mom," they said. "We were just playing. We wanted to make potato people." + +Mom sighed. She was not very angry. She knew they were just kids. She hugged them and said, "I love you, but you have to clean up. And no more potato people, OK?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "OK, Mom. We love you too." + +They helped Mom clean up the kitchen. They threw away the potato people. They said goodbye to them. They learned a lesson. They never made potato people again. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and eat tasty food. One day, they find a big cloth in the garden. It is soft and colorful. They think it is a magic cloth. + +"Let's play with the cloth!" Lila says. "We can make a tent or a cape or a dress!" + +"OK!" Ben says. "But we have to be careful. Mom said not to go too far from the house." + +They take the cloth and run to the big tree. They make a tent with the cloth and some sticks. They go inside the tent and pretend they are in a castle. + +"This is fun!" Lila says. "We are the king and the queen of the tent!" + +They play and laugh and tell stories. They get tired and sleepy. They lie down on the cloth and close their eyes. + +"Good night, king Ben!" Lila says. + +"Good night, queen Lila!" Ben says. + +They sleep in the tent. + +But they do not know that the cloth is not a magic cloth. It is a trap. A bad man put the cloth in the garden. He wants to catch children and take them away. He sees Lila and Ben sleeping in the tent. He smiles and walks to the tree. He lifts the cloth and grabs Lila and Ben. They wake up and scream. + +"Help! Help!" Lila and Ben cry. "Let us go! We want our mom and dad!" + +But the bad man does not listen. He puts them in a big bag and runs away. He takes them to a dark and scary place. He locks them in a cage. He is mean and cruel. He does not give them food or water or toys. He makes them work and cry. + +Lila and Ben are very sad and scared. They miss their mom and dad and their home. They wish they never played with the cloth. They wish they stayed close to the house. They wish they were safe and happy. But they are not. They are in trouble. They do not know if they will ever see their mom and dad again. They do not know if they will ever escape. They do not know if they will ever be free. +Lily liked to go to the zoo with her mom and dad. She liked to see all the different animals and learn their names. Her favorite animal was the ostrich. She liked how tall and fast it was. She liked its long neck and big eyes. + +One day, she saw a baby ostrich at the zoo. It was fluffy and cute. It followed its mom everywhere. Lily wanted to pet it and play with it. She asked her mom if she could go closer. Her mom said no. She said the ostriches might be scared or angry. She said Lily had to be obedient and stay behind the fence. + +Lily was sad. She did not want to make the ostriches scared or angry. She wanted to be their friend. She stayed behind the fence and gazed at the baby ostrich. She smiled and waved at it. She hoped it would smile and wave back. She hoped it would like her. She hoped it would be her friend. +Tommy liked waffles very much. He liked them with butter and honey. He liked them for breakfast and for snack. He liked them hot and crispy. He liked them more than anything. + +One day, Tommy saw a big waffle on the kitchen table. It was the most attractive waffle he had ever seen. It smelled so good and looked so yummy. Tommy wanted to eat it right away. But he knew it was not his waffle. It was his mommy's waffle. She had made it for herself and left it there while she went to the bathroom. + +Tommy thought for a moment. He knew he should not disturb his mommy's waffle. He knew she would be angry if he did. He knew he should wait for his own waffle. But he was very hungry and very curious. He decided to take a little bite. Just a little one. He reached for the waffle and broke off a corner. He put it in his mouth and chewed. It was the best waffle he had ever tasted. + +He heard a noise. It was his mommy. She was coming back from the bathroom. She saw Tommy with the waffle in his hand and the crumbs on his face. She saw the missing piece of her waffle. She was very upset. + +"Tommy, what did you do?" she asked. "Did you disturb my waffle?" + +Tommy felt sorry. He knew he had done something bad. He wanted to say sorry, but he could not. He had the waffle in his mouth. He looked at his mommy with big eyes and tried to smile. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with pots and pans. They also liked to fill the sink with water and bubbles and wash the dishes. But they had to be careful not to make a mess or spill the water. + +One day, Lily had a foolish idea. She saw a big plug in the sink that stopped the water from going away. She wondered what would happen if she removed it. She said to Tom, "Look, Tom, I have a surprise for you. Come and see." + +Tom was curious and followed Lily to the sink. He saw the plug in her hand and the water in the sink. He said, "What are you going to do, Lily?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Watch this!" She pulled the plug out of the sink and threw it on the floor. The water started to go away very fast. It made a loud noise and a big whirlpool. + +Tom was scared and said, "Lily, stop! You are making a big mistake!" + +But Lily did not listen. She thought it was fun and said, "Look, Tom, the water is going away. It is like a magic trick." + +But the water did not go away completely. It went down the pipe and came back up from another pipe under the sink. It sprayed all over the kitchen and made a huge flood. It wet the floor, the walls, the cabinets, the stove, and the fridge. It also wet Lily and Tom and their clothes. + +Lily and Tom were shocked and screamed. They tried to stop the water, but they could not. They ran out of the kitchen and called for their mom. + +Mom came and saw the disaster. She was very angry and said, "Lily and Tom, what have you done? You have ruined the kitchen and wasted the water. You are very naughty and foolish. You are in big trouble." + +Lily and Tom felt very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had never removed the plug from the sink. They learned their lesson and never played with the sink again. +Lily loved to dance. She danced in the morning, she danced in the afternoon, and she danced at night. She danced in the kitchen, she danced in the living room, and she danced in her bedroom. She danced with her dolls, she danced with her teddy, and she danced with her mommy and daddy. + +One day, Lily's mommy and daddy had to go out. They asked Lily's aunt to come and watch her. Lily liked her aunt, but she was a little shy. She did not want to dance in front of her aunt. She wanted to dance in her bedroom, where she felt safe and happy. + +But when Lily went to her bedroom, she saw that her teddy was missing. She looked under the bed, she looked in the closet, she looked in the drawers. She could not find her teddy anywhere. She felt sad and scared. She needed her teddy to dance with. He was her best friend and her most dependable partner. + +She ran to her aunt and asked her where her teddy was. Her aunt smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I know where your teddy is. He is in the laundry room. He was a little dirty, so I washed him for you. He will be clean and fluffy soon. Do you want to go and get him?" + +Lily nodded and followed her aunt to the laundry room. There she saw her teddy, wrapped in a soft towel, waiting for her. She hugged him and thanked her aunt. She felt happy and brave. She asked her aunt if she wanted to dance with her and her teddy. Her aunt said yes and they went to her bedroom. They danced and laughed and had fun. Lily learned that she could dance with anyone, as long as she had her teddy and her aunt by her side. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Sara has a new toy. It is a blue ball that makes funny sounds when you poke it. Sara is very happy with her new toy. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Sara says. "I have a blue ball. It is fun. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben nods. He likes blue things. He likes funny sounds. He goes to Sara and reaches for the ball. But Sara pulls the ball away. + +"No, Ben, no!" Sara says. "This is my ball. You can't have it. Go away!" + +Ben feels sad. He wants to play with Sara and the ball. He does not understand why Sara is mean. He walks away and sits on the floor. He has no toys and no books. He has nothing to do. + +Sara plays with the ball by herself. She pokes it and laughs at the sounds. But after a while, she feels lonely. She looks at Ben. He looks bored and unhappy. She remembers that Ben is her friend. She feels sorry for him. + +"Ben, Ben!" Sara says. "I'm sorry. I was mean. You can play with my ball. I will share with you. Come here!" + +Ben looks up. He sees Sara smiling and holding the ball. He feels happy. He goes to Sara and hugs her. + +"Thank you, Sara, thank you!" Ben says. "You are generous. You are a good friend. I like you." + +Sara and Ben play with the ball together. They poke it and laugh at the sounds. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna likes to help her mom in the kitchen. She likes to stir the soup, cut the bread, and taste the food. But there is one thing she is not allowed to do. She is not allowed to touch the salt. + +One day, mom is busy on the phone. Anna sees the salt on the table. She wants to see what is inside. She thinks, maybe it is like sugar. She likes sugar. She reaches for the salt and opens the lid. + +But the salt is not like sugar. It is white and small and hard. It does not taste sweet. It tastes bad. Anna spits it out and makes a face. She does not like the salt. She wants to put the lid back, but she drops the salt. It spills on the table and on the floor. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess and Anna's face. She knows what happened. She is not happy. She says, "Anna, did you touch the salt?" Anna feels guilty. She nods and says, "Sorry, mom. I was curious. I won't do it again." + +Mom sighs and hugs Anna. She says, "I know you were curious, but you have to listen to me. Salt is not for playing. It is for cooking. It can make you sick if you eat too much. And it can make the food too salty. You have to be careful with it." She helps Anna clean up the salt and gives her some water to drink. She says, "Next time, ask me before you open something. I will show you what it is and why we use it. OK?" Anna says, "OK, mom. I love you." Mom says, "I love you too, Anna." +Mia and Leo are twins. They like to play with their toys and make up stories. One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a handle and a sticker that says "mail". + +"Look, Leo, a mail box!" Mia says. "Maybe it has a present for us!" + +"Let's open it and see!" Leo says. He grabs the handle and pulls. The box is heavy and hard to open. + +"Help me, Mia!" Leo says. + +Mia pushes the box from the other side. Together, they open the box and peek inside. They see a lot of paper and bubble wrap. + +"What is this?" Mia asks. "Where is the present?" + +"Maybe it's under the paper," Leo says. He digs through the paper and finds a small box. He opens it and sees a shiny necklace. + +"Wow, look, Mia, a necklace!" Leo says. "It's so pretty and charming!" + +Mia looks at the necklace and smiles. She likes the necklace too. It has a heart pendant and sparkles in the light. + +"Who is it for?" Mia asks. + +Leo looks at the small box and sees a note. He tries to read it, but the words are too big and hard. + +"I don't know," Leo says. "Maybe Mom or Dad can tell us." + +They take the necklace and the note to their parents, who are in the kitchen. They show them what they found in the mail box. + +"Mom, Dad, look, a necklace!" Mia says. + +"Where did you get this?" Mom asks. + +"From the mail box," Leo says. "It has a note, but we can't read it." + +Mom takes the note and reads it. She smiles and hugs the twins. + +"It's from Grandma," Mom says. "She sent you this necklace for your birthday. She says she loves you and misses you." + +"Wow, thank you, Grandma!" Mia and Leo say. They are happy and excited. They put on the necklace and admire it. + +"It's so charming!" Mia says. + +"It's the best present ever!" Leo says. + +They hug Mom and Dad and thank them too. They can't wait to call Grandma and tell her how much they love the necklace. They are very lucky to have such a loving and generous Grandma. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Lily had a mop and Tom had a spoon. They stirred and mixed and poured in a big pot. + +"Look, Lily, I made soup!" Tom said. He held up his spoon and showed Lily. "Do you want to try some?" + +Lily nodded. She took the spoon and put it in her mouth. But it was not soup. It was water and soap and dirt. Lily spit it out and made a face. + +"Yuck, Tom, this is not soup! This is mop water!" Lily said. She was angry and sad. "Why did you trick me?" + +Tom laughed. He thought it was funny. He did not see that Lily was hurt. He said, "It was a joke, Lily. Don't be mad. It's just water. Look, it's clear." + +Lily did not think it was a joke. She did not like Tom's laugh. She wanted to make him stop. She saw something on the floor. It was Tom's toy car. Lily had an idea. She picked up the car and bit it hard. + +"Ow, Lily, what are you doing?" Tom said. He saw Lily biting his car. He was shocked and scared. "That's my car! Give it back!" + +Lily did not give it back. She bit harder. She made a noise. She said, "This is not a car, Tom. This is a cookie. Do you want to try some?" + +Tom did not want to try some. He wanted his car. He tried to grab it from Lily. But Lily was strong. She held on to the car. She said, "No, Tom, this is my cookie. You can have your mop water." + +Tom and Lily started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They made a mess. They did not see that Mom was coming. Mom saw them and was not happy. She said, "Stop, Lily and Tom! What are you doing? Why are you biting and fighting? Why are you wasting water and soap and dirt? Why are you ruining your toys?" + +Lily and Tom stopped. They looked at Mom. They felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We were playing. But we made a mistake. We were not nice to each other." + +Mom sighed. She said, "You need to say sorry to each other, too. And you need to clean up this mess. And you need to learn to share and be kind. And you need to eat real food, not mop water and toy cars." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up. They helped Mom clean up the kitchen. They ate some real soup and cookies. They learned their lesson. They did not bite or fight again. +Lily was a fearful girl. She did not like to try new things. She was scared of loud noises, big dogs, and dark places. She always stayed close to her mom and dad. + +One day, her mom and dad took her to the park. There were many children playing there. Some were running, some were swinging, some were sliding. Lily wanted to join them, but she was too fearful. + +She saw a boy with a red bike. He was riding fast and having fun. Lily wished she had a bike too. She asked her mom, "Can I have a bike, mom?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can, Lily. But first, you have to learn how to ride it. Do you want me to teach you?" + +Lily nodded, but she felt a cold in her tummy. She was afraid of falling and hurting herself. She followed her mom to the bike shop. Her mom picked a pink bike for her. It had two small wheels on the sides to help her balance. + +Her mom helped her get on the bike and held the handle. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'm here with you. Just pedal and steer. You can do it." + +Lily started to pedal slowly. She felt the wind on her face and the sun on her hair. She felt a warm in her heart. She liked the bike. She said, "This is fun, mom!" + +Her mom let go of the handle and said, "Look, Lily, you're riding by yourself! You're doing great!" + +Lily looked back and saw her mom clapping and cheering. She felt proud and happy. She said, "Thank you, mom! You taught me how to ride a bike!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You see, you don't have to be fearful of new things. You can learn and enjoy them. You just have to try and trust yourself." + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you, mom. You're the best teacher ever!" + +The moral value of the story is: Don't be afraid of new things. You can learn and enjoy them. You just have to try and trust yourself. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make tasty food for each other. Lily had a big pot of sauce that she had made with water, salt and ketchup. Tom had a plate of noodles that he had cooked in the microwave. + +"Tom, do you want some sauce for your noodles?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, please. Sauce and noodles match well. They are tasty together," Tom said. + +Lily poured some sauce over Tom's noodles and gave him a fork. Tom took a big bite and smiled. "Mmm, this is good. Thank you, Lily." + +Lily was happy that Tom liked her sauce. She wanted to try some too. She poured some sauce over her own noodles and took a fork. But when she put the sauce in her mouth, she felt something hard and sharp. She spat it out and saw a small metal screw on her plate. + +"Ow, ow, ow! This sauce has a screw in it! It hurts my mouth!" Lily cried. + +Tom looked at his plate and saw another screw in his sauce. He was scared and angry. "Lily, did you put screws in the sauce? That is not nice. That is dangerous. You could have hurt me and yourself." + +Lily shook her head and started to cry. "No, no, no. I did not put screws in the sauce. I don't know how they got there. Maybe they fell from the toy kitchen. I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry." + +Tom and Lily were both hurt and sad. They did not want to play with the toy kitchen anymore. They threw away the sauce and the noodles and ran to their mom. They told her what happened and she hugged them and checked their mouths. She was worried and angry too. She called the toy company and complained. She said she would never buy their toys again. She said they were not safe and not fun. She said they ruined her children's playtime. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big jet in the sky. It was very loud and fast. + +"Wow, look at the jet!" Tom said. "It is so big and shiny!" + +"I want to fly in a jet one day," Lily said. "It must be fun to see the clouds and the birds." + +They watched the jet until it was gone. Then they heard a quiet sound. It was a little bird on a tree. It was singing a pretty song. + +"Hello, bird," Lily said. "You have a nice voice." + +The bird looked at them and tilted its head. It chirped back. + +"Can we be your friends?" Tom asked. "We like your song." + +The bird nodded and flew down. It landed on Tom's shoulder. It pecked his hair gently. + +"Hi, friend," Tom said. "What is your name?" + +The bird said something that sounded like "Twee". + +"Twee? That is a cute name," Lily said. "We are Tom and Lily. Do you want to play with us?" + +Twee nodded and flew to Lily's shoulder. It pecked her hair gently too. + +They all smiled and laughed. They played in the park until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to Twee and thanked him for his song. + +They hoped to meet him again soon. +Tom and Sam were playing with marbles in the park. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. They liked to roll them on the ground and see who could get the most. + +But then, a big boy came and wanted to play too. He said he had the best marbles and he could beat them. He said they had to give him some of their marbles if he won. Tom and Sam did not like that. They said no, they wanted to keep their marbles. + +The big boy got angry and tried to take their marbles by force. He pushed Tom and Sam and grabbed their bags. Tom and Sam tried to stop him, but he was too strong. He ran away with their marbles, laughing. + +Tom and Sam felt hurt and sad. They had lost their marbles and their fun. They wished they had not played with the big boy. They wished they had yielded and let him play with them. Maybe then he would have been nice and shared his marbles. Maybe then they would have made a new friend. +Ben loved his scooter. He rode it every day in the park with his mom and dad. He liked to go fast and make turns and jumps. He felt cheerful when he was on his scooter. + +One day, he saw a big ice cream truck in the park. It had many colors and pictures of ice cream on it. Ben wanted to taste some ice cream. He asked his mom and dad if he could have some. They said yes, but he had to wait for them and not go too far. + +Ben nodded and parked his scooter next to a bench. He saw the ice cream truck was not too far away. He thought he could go there and come back quickly. He did not tell his mom and dad. He ran to the ice cream truck and looked at the menu. He saw many flavors and toppings. He wanted to try them all. + +He asked the ice cream man for a big cone with chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and sprinkles. The ice cream man smiled and gave him the cone. It was very big and heavy. Ben thanked him and paid with his money. He licked the cone and felt happy. It was very sweet and cold. He tasted all the flavors and liked them. + +He turned around and started to walk back to his scooter. But he did not see a big dog that was running in the park. The dog saw Ben and his cone and wanted to taste it too. The dog barked and ran towards Ben. Ben got scared and dropped his cone. The dog jumped and caught the cone in his mouth. He ate it in one bite and wagged his tail. + +Ben felt sad and angry. He lost his cone and his money. He cried and ran to his mom and dad. They saw him and hugged him. They asked him what happened. He told them the truth. He said he was sorry for not waiting for them and for going too far. They said they were sorry for his cone and his money. But they also said he should not have lied to them and should have listened to them. They said they loved him and wanted him to be safe and happy. + +They gave him a tissue and a kiss. They said they would buy him another cone if he wanted. But they also said he had to share it with them and his scooter. Ben nodded and smiled. He learned his lesson. He said he loved them and his scooter. He said he would be more careful and honest next time. They all went to the ice cream truck and bought a smaller cone with one flavor. They shared it and tasted it together. It was still sweet and cold. They felt cheerful and went to ride the scooter in the park. The end. +Lila and Ben were playing with a big red ball in the park. They liked to bounce the ball and catch it. Sometimes they bounced it very high and it went over the fence. + +One day, they saw a big gray elephant on the other side of the fence. The elephant had a long nose and big ears. He looked friendly and curious. + +"Hello, elephant!" Lila said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The elephant nodded and reached his nose over the fence. He took the ball gently and bounced it back to Lila and Ben. They laughed and clapped. + +"Thank you, elephant!" Ben said. "You are very good at bouncing the ball. You are very generous to share it with us." + +The elephant smiled and made a happy sound. He liked to play with Lila and Ben. They bounced the ball together for a long time, until it was time to go home. + +"Bye, elephant!" Lila and Ben said. "We will come back tomorrow and play with you again." + +The elephant waved his nose and watched them go. He was glad he had made new friends. He put the ball in a safe place and waited for them to return. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big bird in the sky. It is light blue and has a long tail. Lily and Tom want to see the bird. + +They run after the bird. The bird flies fast. It goes to the west. Lily and Tom follow it. They clap their hands and call the bird. They want the bird to come to them. + +But the bird does not hear them. It flies away. Lily and Tom are sad. They stop running. They sit on the grass. They look at the sky. They hope the bird will come back. + +Then they hear a sound. It is the bird. It is coming back. It flies over them. It makes a loud noise. It sounds like a clap. Lily and Tom are happy. They clap their hands and smile. The bird sees them. It flies low. It comes close to them. It lets them touch its feathers. They are soft and light. + +Lily and Tom are very happy. They thank the bird. They say goodbye. The bird flies away. It goes to the west. Lily and Tom go home. They tell their moms and dads about the bird. They say it was the best day ever. +Sara was curious about the party. She saw many balloons and cakes and toys in the big room. She wanted to go inside and play with them. But Mommy said no. Mommy said the party was for big people, not for little girls. Mommy said Sara had to stay in her room and be quiet. + +Sara was sad and bored. She did not like her room. She did not have many toys or books or friends. She only had a teddy bear. She loved her teddy bear very much. She called him Bobo. She hugged him and talked to him. She said, "Bobo, you are my best friend. I value you more than anything. You always make me happy." + +But Sara was still curious about the party. She wanted to see what was inside the big room. She wanted to have fun too. She thought, maybe Mommy will not notice if I sneak out for a little bit. Maybe I can take Bobo with me and show him the balloons and cakes and toys. Maybe I can find some nice big people who will let me join the party. + +So Sara waited until Mommy was busy talking on the phone. Then she took Bobo and tiptoed out of her room. She walked down the hall and opened the door to the big room. She saw many big people laughing and dancing and eating and drinking. She saw many balloons and cakes and toys. She smiled and ran inside. + +But the big people did not smile at Sara. They did not like her. They did not want her to join the party. They said, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Go away, you little brat!" They pushed her and shouted at her. They took Bobo from her and threw him on the floor. They popped the balloons and smashed the cakes and broke the toys. They made Sara cry. + +Mommy heard Sara cry. She ran to the big room and saw what happened. She was angry and scared. She said, "Sara, what have you done? How could you be so naughty and rude? You have ruined the party! You have made everyone mad! You have lost your teddy bear! You have no value at all!" + +Mommy grabbed Sara and dragged her back to her room. She locked the door and left her alone. She did not hug her or talk to her. She did not say she was sorry or that she loved her. She did not give her back her teddy bear. Sara was alone and sad and scared. She had no party, no fun, no friends, no Bobo. She had nothing. She wished she had never been curious. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play catch with a ball. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They find a big space to play. Lily throws the ball to Ben. Ben runs to catch it. + +But Ben does not see a rock on the ground. He trips and falls. He lands on his arm. He feels a lot of pain. He cries out loud. His mom runs to him. She sees his arm is bent in a wrong way. She says, "Oh no, Ben, your arm is broken!" + +She picks him up and hugs him. She tells Lily's mom they have to go to the hospital. Lily's mom says, "I'm so sorry, Ben. I hope you get better soon." Lily feels sad and scared. She says, "Bye, Ben. I'm sorry you hurt your arm. I will miss you." + +Lily and Ben's moms take them to their cars. Lily looks at Ben through the window. He looks pale and sad. He holds his arm with his other hand. He waves to Lily with a weak smile. Lily waves back. She wishes she could make him feel better. She wonders if they will ever play catch again. She feels a tear roll down her cheek. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary. + +"Let's go home, Lily. The weather is bad. It might rain soon." Ben said. + +"No, Ben. I want to stay and play. The cloud is not bad. It is just a cloud." Lily said. + +"But Lily, your mom will be mad if you get wet. She will remind you to wear a coat next time. And you might catch a cold. You are smart, Lily. You know that." Ben said. + +"I don't care, Ben. You are a scaredy-cat. I am not afraid of the cloud. I am brave. You go home if you want. I will play by myself." Lily said. + +Ben was sad. He did not want to leave Lily alone. But he did not want to argue with her. He said goodbye and went home. Lily stayed and played. + +Soon, the cloud got bigger and darker. It made a loud noise. It was thunder. Lily was scared. She wanted to go home. But she did not know the way. She had followed Ben before. She looked around. She did not see Ben. She did not see anyone. She was alone. + +Then, the cloud started to cry. It was rain. It was cold and wet. Lily cried too. She was cold and wet. She wanted her mom. She wanted Ben. She was sorry. She wished she had listened to Ben. He was smart. He was her friend. But he was gone. And she was lost. +Tom and Anna were hungry. They wanted to eat some cake. They knew there was a big cake in the fridge. But they had to wait for Mom and Dad to arrive. + +They heard a car outside. They ran to the window. They saw Mom and Dad get out of the car. They had bags in their hands. + +"Mom! Dad! You are here!" Tom and Anna shouted. They ran to the door and hugged them. + +"Hello, my sweeties! We missed you so much!" Mom said. "We brought you some presents!" + +"Wow! Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Tom and Anna said. They looked at the bags. They saw books, toys, and clothes. + +"Can we open them now?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, you can. But first, let's have some cake. We are hungry too!" Dad said. + +They all went to the kitchen. Mom opened the fridge. She took out the big cake. It had chocolate and cream on top. It looked yummy. + +But when she put it on the table, she saw something strange. The cake was thin. Very thin. Someone had eaten most of it. + +"Who did this?" Mom asked. She looked at Tom and Anna. They looked at each other. They looked guilty. + +"Sorry, Mom. We were hungry. We ate some cake. Just a little bit." Tom said. + +"A little bit? This is a very thin cake!" Mom said. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We won't do it again." Anna said. + +Mom sighed. She smiled. She cut the thin cake into four pieces. She gave one to each of them. + +"It's okay, my loves. We forgive you. But next time, please wait for us. And share the cake." Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. We love you." Tom and Anna said. + +They ate the thin cake. It was still yummy. They opened their presents. They were happy. They hugged Mom and Dad. They were a happy family. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. But they did not like to sort their toys after playing. They left them all over the floor and made a big mess. Their mom was not happy. She told them to sort their toys or they would not get any dessert. She said it was a threat. + +Tom and Sam did not listen to their mom. They thought she was just joking. They were ignorant. They kept playing and did not sort their toys. They laughed and said they did not care about dessert. They thought they were smart. + +But their mom was not joking. She was serious. She came back and saw the mess. She was very angry. She said they were naughty and did not obey. She took away all their toys and put them in a box. She said they would not get them back until they learned to sort them. She also said they would not get any dessert or any other treat. She said it was a punishment. + +Tom and Sam were sad and sorry. They realized they made a mistake. They wished they had listened to their mom and sorted their toys. They learned that being ignorant and not sorting was not smart. They learned that they should respect their mom and her threats. They learned that sorting was important and good. But it was too late. They had no toys and no dessert. They had a bad ending. +Sara liked to dance. She danced in her room, in the park, and at school. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. She danced with her dolls, with her friends, and with her dog. She loved to dance. + +One day, Sara's mom said they were going to have pizza for dinner. Sara was very excited. She liked pizza. It was her favorite food. She danced all the way to the pizza place. She danced while they waited for their pizza. She danced when they got their pizza. She danced while she ate her pizza. + +But then, something bad happened. A mean man came into the pizza place. He had a gun. He yelled at everyone. He said he wanted money. He said he was poor and hungry. He said he would hurt anyone who did not give him money. He saw Sara dancing. He did not like Sara dancing. He said she was making fun of him. He said she was not poor and hungry like him. He said she was a bad girl. He pointed his gun at Sara. + +Sara was scared. She stopped dancing. She cried. She wanted her mom. She wanted to go home. She wanted the mean man to go away. But the mean man did not go away. He shot Sara. Sara fell down. She did not get up. She did not dance anymore. She was gone. + +Everyone was sad. Everyone was angry. Everyone was scared. The police came. They took the mean man away. They took Sara away. They said they were sorry. They said it was not fair. They said it was not Sara's fault. They said it was the mean man's fault. They said he was a bad man. They said he needed help. But it was too late. Sara was gone. She did not dance anymore. The end. +Sara liked to write in her journal. She had a pink journal with a unicorn on the cover. She wrote about her day, her friends, and her dreams. She used crayons and stickers to make her journal pretty. + +One day, it rained a lot. Sara could not go outside to play. She was sad and bored. She looked out the window and saw the raindrops falling. She wished she could splash in the puddles. + +She decided to write in her journal. She wrote about how she felt and what she wanted to do. She drew a picture of herself in a raincoat and boots. She wrote "I am mighty" under the picture. She felt better. + +She showed her journal to her mom. Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said "You are mighty, Sara. You can do anything you want. And maybe tomorrow the sun will come out and you can play outside." + +Sara smiled back. She was happy. She loved her mom and her journal. She hoped the sun would come out tomorrow. She wanted to have fun. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben's car broke. The wheel came off and Ben was sad. + +"Look, Lily, my car is broken. Can you help me fix it?" Ben asked. + +Lily looked at Ben's car and shook her head. "No, I can't. I don't know how to fix cars. And I don't want to. I want to play with my doll. Go away, Ben. You are rude." Lily said. + +Ben felt hurt by Lily's words. He wanted to play with her, but she was mean to him. He tried to fix his car by himself, but he couldn't. He needed glue or tape, but he didn't have any. He started to cry. + +Mom heard Ben crying and came to the living room. She saw Ben's broken car and Lily's doll. She asked them what happened. + +"Lily was rude to me. She didn't help me fix my car. She told me to go away." Ben said. + +Mom frowned at Lily. "Lily, that was not nice. You should be kind to your brother. He wanted to play with you and you hurt his feelings. And you should help him fix his car. It's not hard. I can show you how." Mom said. + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She realized she was rude to him. She said sorry to Ben and hugged him. "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to be rude. I want to play with you and help you fix your car. Can you forgive me?" Lily said. + +Ben smiled and hugged Lily back. "I forgive you, Lily. Thank you for being nice. Can we fix my car together?" Ben said. + +Mom nodded and smiled. She gave them some glue and tape and helped them fix Ben's car. They put the wheel back on and made sure it was safe. Then they played with their toys happily. Mom was proud of them for being good and loving. She gave them a kiss and a hug. They were a happy family. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They are building a big tower with different colors. Anna likes the blue blocks and Ben likes the red blocks. They are having fun and sharing the blocks. + +But then, Ben sees a yellow block that he wants. He tries to take it from the top of the tower, but he pulls too hard. The tower falls down and makes a loud noise. The blocks go everywhere and some of them hit the couch and the table. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Anna says. She is angry and sad. She liked the tower and now it is gone. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I just wanted the yellow block," Ben says. He is sorry and scared. He knows he made a mistake and he hopes Anna is not too mad. + +But before they can talk more, they hear their mom coming. She heard the noise and she is not happy. She sees the blocks all over the living room and the dirty marks on the couch and the table. + +"Anna and Ben, what is going on here?" she says. She is very mad and she snaps her fingers. She wants them to come to her and listen. + +She gives them a lecture about being careful and respectful with their toys and the furniture. She tells them to clean up the mess and to apologize to each other. She says they have to share and be nice to each other. + +Anna and Ben feel bad and they say they are sorry to their mom and to each other. They hug and they promise to do better. They start to pick up the blocks and put them back in the box. They hope their mom will forgive them and let them play again. They still like the blocks and they still like each other. +Anna and Ben like to play with snow. They make snowballs and snowmen and snow forts. They have fun in the cold. But sometimes the sun comes out and makes the snow melt. Then their snowballs and snowmen and snow forts get smaller and smaller and wetter and wetter. + +One day, Anna and Ben see a big snowman in the park. He has a hat and a scarf and a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. He looks happy and friendly. Anna and Ben want to say hello to him. They run to the snowman and give him a hug. + +But the sun is very bright and warm today. The snowman feels the sun on his hat and his scarf and his nose and his eyes. He feels the sun on his body and his arms and his legs. He feels the sun make him melt. He feels sad and scared. He wants to stay with Anna and Ben. + +He says to them, "Please help me. The sun is melting me. I don't want to melt. I want to be your friend." + +Anna and Ben hear the snowman talk. They are surprised and sorry. They want to help the snowman. They look around and see a big tree. The tree has many leaves and makes a big shadow. The shadow is cool and dark. + +They say to the snowman, "Don't worry. We will help you. We will move you to the tree. The tree will keep you away from the sun. The tree will be your friend too." + +They take off the snowman's hat and scarf and nose and eyes. They put them in a bag. They roll the snowman's body and arms and legs to the tree. They put the snowman back together under the tree. They put his hat and scarf and nose and eyes back on. They give him a hug and a kiss on his lip. + +The snowman feels the tree on his back and his sides and his head. He feels the tree make him cool and safe. He feels happy and grateful. He says to Anna and Ben, "Thank you. You are very kind and brave. You saved me from the sun. You are my best friends." + +Anna and Ben smile and say, "You are welcome. You are very sweet and funny. You made us happy. You are our best friend too." + +They play with the snowman under the tree. They are busy and joyful. They forget about the sun and the melt. They only think about the snow and the friend. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today the weather is terrible. It is cold and wet and windy. Lily and Ben are sad. + +They look out the window and see the rain. They see the trees move in the wind. They see the clouds in the sky. They do not see the sun or the birds or the flowers. They do not want to play outside. + +Lily has an idea. She says to Ben, "Let's play inside. We can make a fort with blankets and pillows. We can pretend we are in a castle or a cave or a spaceship. We can have fun inside." + +Ben nods. He likes Lily's idea. He says, "Yes, let's play inside. We can use our toys and books and crayons. We can make stories and pictures and sounds. We can have fun inside." + +They go to Lily's room and start to build their fort. They use chairs and tables and blankets and pillows. They make a door and a window and a roof. They bring their toys and books and crayons. They make stories and pictures and sounds. They have fun inside. + +They forget about the weather. They forget about the rain and the wind and the clouds. They only see their fort and their friends. They only hear their stories and pictures and sounds. They are happy. +Lily was a shy cat. She did not like to play with other cats or people. She liked to sleep in her warm bed all day. But one day, she smelled something good. It was meat. Someone had left a big piece of meat on the table. Lily was very hungry. She wanted to eat the meat. + +She got out of her bed and walked to the table. She looked around. No one was there. She jumped on the chair and then on the table. She saw the meat. It was red and juicy. She licked her lips. She reached out her paw and touched the meat. + +"Meow!" a loud voice said. Lily was scared. She turned around and saw a big dog. The dog was angry. He wanted the meat too. He barked and ran to the table. Lily did not know what to do. She wanted to run away, but the dog was faster. She wanted to fight, but the dog was stronger. She wanted to hide, but the dog was smarter. + +"Leave my meat alone, cat!" the dog said. "It is mine. I found it first. Go away or I will bite you!" + +Lily was very afraid. She looked at the meat. It was not worth it. She jumped off the table and ran to her bed. She hid under the blanket. She hoped the dog would not follow her. She wished she had never woken up. She learned a lesson. Sometimes, it is better to be shy and safe than brave and sorry. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy planes in the park. They liked to make them soar in the air and pretend they were pilots. Lily had a red plane and Ben had a blue plane. + +"Look, my plane is faster than yours!" Lily said, as she threw her plane high in the sky. + +"No, mine is faster!" Ben said, as he threw his plane even higher. + +They both watched their planes fly and tried to catch them when they came down. But then, something bad happened. Ben's plane hit Lily's plane and they both fell to the ground. + +"Hey, you broke my plane!" Lily cried, as she picked up her plane and saw that its wing was bent. + +"Sorry, it was an accident!" Ben said, as he picked up his plane and saw that its nose was cracked. + +Lily was angry. She thought Ben did it on purpose. She threw her plane at Ben and hit him on the thumb. + +"Ow, that hurt!" Ben yelled, as he held his thumb and felt it throb. + +Ben was angry too. He thought Lily was mean. He threw his plane back at Lily and hit her on the head. + +"Ow, that hurt more!" Lily screamed, as she rubbed her head and felt a bump. + +They both glared at each other and started to cry. They didn't want to play anymore. + +Then, they heard a voice. + +"What's going on here?" It was their mom, who came to check on them. + +She saw their planes and their tears and understood what happened. + +She hugged them both and said, "I'm sorry you had a fight. Sometimes, accidents happen and things break. But you shouldn't throw things at each other. That's not nice. You could hurt each other more. You should say sorry and share your toys. You are friends, right?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry. They nodded and said, "Yes, we are friends." + +They said sorry and hugged each other. They gave their planes to their mom and asked her to fix them. + +She smiled and said, "I'll try. But you know what? You don't need planes to soar. You can use your imagination and pretend you have wings. Do you want to try?" + +Lily and Ben smiled too and said, "Yes, we want to try." + +They held hands and ran across the park, flapping their arms and making plane noises. They felt happy and free. They soared together. +Tim and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big slide and ran to it. They took turns to slide down and laughed. Mom watched them and smiled. + +Then they saw a lady with a big bag. She looked angry and sour. She walked to the slide and pointed at Tim and Lily. She said, "Get off the slide! It is mine!" + +Tim and Lily were scared and confused. They did not know the lady. They did not want to give her the slide. They looked at Mom for help. + +Mom came to the lady and said, "Excuse me, this is a public slide. Everyone can use it. You cannot tell the children to get off. That is not nice." + +The lady huffed and puffed. She said, "I don't care. I want the slide. Go away!" + +Mom shook her head and said, "No, we will not go away. You are being rude and selfish. You need to share and be polite. Or you can leave." + +The lady glared at Mom and said, "Fine. I will leave. But I will come back and take the slide. You will see!" + +She grabbed her bag and stomped away. Tim and Lily watched her go. They felt sorry for her. She seemed lonely and unhappy. + +Mom hugged Tim and Lily and said, "Don't worry, my loves. She will not come back. And if she does, we will deal with her. You did nothing wrong. You were brave and kind. Now, do you want to slide some more?" + +Tim and Lily nodded and smiled. They said, "Yes, Mom. We love the slide. And we love you." + +They ran back to the slide and had more fun. Mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of them. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. One day, they found a big box of pasta in the cupboard. They decided to cook some pasta for their teddy bears. + +They poured the pasta into a big pot of water and turned on the stove. They waited for the water to boil. They did not know how long to cook the pasta. They forgot to ask their mom or dad. They got bored and went to play with their toys. + +They left the pasta on the stove for a long time. The water boiled away and the pasta got dry and hard. It started to smell bad. It started to rot. The kitchen got smoky and dirty. + +Mom and dad came home and saw the mess. They were very angry and scared. They turned off the stove and threw away the rotten pasta. They scolded Ben and Lily for being careless and wasteful. + +"Ben and Lily, you should not play with the stove. It is very dangerous. You could have started a fire or burned yourself. You should not waste food. It is very precious. You should be organized and clean up after yourself. You should always ask for help when you don't know how to do something. Do you understand?" mom and dad said. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They nodded and said, "We understand. We are sorry, mom and dad. We will not do it again. We will be careful and organized and respectful. We will ask for help when we need it. We will learn how to cook pasta properly." + +Mom and dad hugged them and said, "We love you, Ben and Lily. We are glad you are safe and sorry. We will teach you how to cook pasta properly. But first, let's clean up the kitchen together." + +Ben and Lily helped mom and dad clean up the kitchen. They learned their lesson. They never played with the stove again. They learned how to cook pasta properly. They enjoyed eating pasta with their teddy bears. They were careful and organized and respectful. They asked for help when they needed it. They were happy and proud. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for worms and bugs. Tom had a big shovel and Lily had a small one. They were having fun. + +"Look, I found a big worm!" Tom said, holding up his shovel. "It is very long and wiggly." + +"Wow, let me see!" Lily said, running over to Tom. She wanted to touch the worm, but she was clumsy. She tripped over Tom's shovel and fell into the hole. "Ouch!" she cried. + +Tom dropped his shovel and helped Lily out of the hole. He was worried. "Are you okay, Lily?" he asked. "Did you hurt yourself?" + +Lily rubbed her knee. It was dirty and scraped. She felt a tear in her eye. "I'm okay, Tom," she said. "But I'm sorry I ruined your hole. And I didn't get to see the worm." + +Tom smiled and hugged Lily. He was kind. "It's okay, Lily," he said. "The hole is still there. And the worm is too. Look, it is crawling out of the dirt. Do you want to hold it?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She reached out her hand and gently picked up the worm. It tickled her palm. She laughed. "It's funny," she said. "It seems like it is saying hello." + +Tom laughed too. He was happy. "Maybe it is," he said. "Maybe it likes us. Do you want to keep it as a pet?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked the worm, but she knew it belonged in the ground. "No, Tom," she said. "Let's put it back in the hole. It will be happier there. And we can dig more holes and find more worms." + +Tom agreed. He and Lily put the worm back in the hole and covered it with dirt. Then they dug more holes and looked for more bugs. They were having fun. +Lena and Sam liked to play with the big box. They filled it with toys, books and pillows. They pretended it was a car, a boat, a house. They had fun. + +One day, they found a new game. They took turns to push the box down the stairs. They laughed as the box bumped and rolled. They said, "Whee!" and "Wow!" + +But then, something bad happened. It was Sam's turn to push the box. He pushed it hard. But Lena was still inside. She did not have time to get out. She screamed, "Stop!" + +The box went down the stairs very fast. It hit the wall. It broke. Lena was hurt. She cried. Sam was scared. He ran to her. He said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" + +But Lena did not answer. She was still. She did not move. She did not breathe. Sam did not know what to do. He felt very sad. He wished he did not play that game. He wished he could fill the box with Lena again. He wished he could turn back time. But he could not. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like monkeys, elephants, and giraffes. Lily liked the animals, but Ben was bored. He wanted to see something big and scary. + +"Where are the lions?" Ben asked Mom. + +"They are over there, in that big cage," Mom said, and pointed to a sign that said "Lions". + +Lily and Ben ran to the cage, but they were disappointed. There was only one lion, and he was lying on the ground. He looked very sad and tired. He did not roar or move. + +"Why is the lion so miserable?" Lily asked Dad. + +"Maybe he is lonely, or sick, or misses his home," Dad said. "He does not like living in a cage. He wants to be free and run in the grass." + +Lily felt sorry for the lion. She wanted to make him happy. She took out her teddy bear from her backpack and threw it over the fence. The teddy bear landed near the lion's head. + +"Look, lion, I have a gift for you!" Lily said, and pointed to the teddy bear. "He is soft and cuddly. He can be your friend." + +The lion opened his eyes and saw the teddy bear. He sniffed it and licked it. Then he picked it up with his mouth and hugged it with his paws. He looked at Lily and smiled. He made a soft purr. + +"Thank you, little girl," the lion said, in a voice that only Lily could hear. "You are very kind. You made me happy." + +Lily smiled back. She was glad that the lion liked her gift. She waved at him and said, "You're welcome, lion. I hope you feel better soon." + +Ben was amazed. He had never seen a lion smile before. He wished he had a gift for the lion too. He looked around and saw a balloon vendor. He ran to him and bought a red balloon. He tied it to a stick and threw it over the fence. The balloon floated in the air. + +"Look, lion, I have a gift for you too!" Ben said, and pointed to the balloon. "It is bright and fun. It can make you laugh." + +The lion saw the balloon and was curious. He let go of the teddy bear and reached for the balloon. He popped it with his claw and made a loud bang. He jumped and roared. He thought it was funny. + +"Thank you, little boy," the lion said, in a voice that only Ben could hear. "You are very brave. You made me laugh." + +Ben laughed too. He was proud that the lion liked his gift. He waved at him and said, "You're welcome, lion. I hope you have fun." + +Mom and Dad watched Lily and Ben play with the lion. They were surprised and happy. They hugged each other and said, "Our children are wonderful. They have big hearts. They made the lion happy." +The boy was thin and small. He did not have many things. He had a bag, a ball, a bear and a book. He liked his things very much. He played with them every day. + +One day, his mom said they had to go. She said they had to pack. She said they had to leave their home. She said they had to find a new home. The boy was sad and scared. He did not want to go. He did not want to leave his things. + +He asked his mom if he could take his things. She said he could take one thing. Only one thing. She said they had no space. She said they had to hurry. The boy did not know what to do. He loved his things. He wanted them all. + +He looked at his bag, his ball, his bear and his book. He thought hard. He wanted to pack them all. But he could only take one. He had to choose. He had to be smart. + +He had an idea. He opened his bag. He put his ball, his bear and his book inside. He zipped his bag. He smiled. He packed his things. He took his bag. He was ready to go. He was happy. He hoped his mom would not notice. He hoped they would find a new home. He hoped he could play with his things again. +Lily was tired. She played with her toys all morning. She ran and jumped and sang and laughed. But now she felt sleepy. Her eyes were heavy and her legs were sore. + +"Come on, Lily, it's time for a nap," her mom said. She picked up Lily and carried her to her room. Lily hugged her mom and yawned. + +"But I don't want to nap, mom. I want to play more," Lily said. She looked at her toys on the floor. They looked fun and colorful. + +"I know, sweetie, but you need to rest. You will feel better after a nap. And you can play more later," her mom said. She put Lily on her bed and tucked her in. She gave her a kiss and a teddy bear. + +"Okay, mom. I love you," Lily said. She cuddled with her teddy bear and closed her eyes. Her mom smiled and turned off the light. + +"Sleep well, Lily. I love you too," her mom said. She left the room and closed the door. Lily drifted off to sleep. She dreamed of playing with her toys again. She was happy. +Sara likes to write poems. She writes them on paper with her crayons. She thinks they are very pretty and fun. She wants to show them to her mom and dad.
