The cable was long and black and it was on the floor near the TV. + +"No, I need the cable," Ben said. He wanted to use it as a snake for his truck. He picked up the cable and wrapped it around his toy. + +"Please, Ben, let me have it," Lily requested. She tried to pull the cable from Ben's hands. She felt sad and angry. + +"No, Lily, it's mine," Ben said. He pulled the cable harder. He felt mad and stubborn. + +They both tugged and tugged, but neither of them would let go. The cable stretched and stretched, until it snapped. The TV made a loud noise and turned off. Lily and Ben stopped and looked at the TV. They saw sparks and smoke coming out of it. They felt scared and sorry. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" they cried. They ran to their parents, who came to see what happened. They saw the broken TV and the cable in pieces. They felt disappointed and worried. + +"What did you do?" Mommy asked. + +"We were playing with the cable," Lily said. + +"We wanted it for our toys," Ben said. + +"You know you shouldn't play with the cable," Daddy said. "It's dangerous and it can hurt you and the TV. You should have asked us first, or shared it, or found something else to play with." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They knew they were wrong. They apologized to their parents and to each other. They hugged and said they were sorry. + +Mommy and Daddy hugged them back. They said they loved them, but they also said they had to learn from their mistake. They said they had to pay for a new TV and a new cable, and that meant they had to save money and not buy new toys for a while. They said they hoped Lily and Ben would be more careful and respectful next time. + +Lily and Ben understood. They felt ashamed and sad, but also grateful and hopeful. They learned that playing with the cable was not a good idea, and that sharing and asking were better. They learned that their actions had consequences, and that they had to be responsible. They learned that their parents still loved them, even when they did something bad. They learned a valuable lesson. +Ben and Lily were very restless. They wanted to go to the park and play on the swings and slides. But their mom said they had to wait until after lunch. She was making sandwiches and salad for them. + +"Mom, can we go now?" Ben asked. He was bouncing on his chair. + +"Not yet, honey. We have to eat first. You need energy for the park," Mom said. She put the plates on the table. + +"But we are not hungry. We are bored," Lily said. She was making faces at Ben. + +"You will be hungry soon. Come on, eat your lunch. It's yummy," Mom said. She smiled at them. + +Ben and Lily ate their lunch slowly. They did not like salad very much. They liked sandwiches better. They drank some juice and water. They hoped Mom would let them go soon. + +"Mom, can we go now?" Lily asked. She wiped her mouth with a napkin. + +"Yes, you can go now. But you have to listen to me, okay? The park is very busy today. There are many people and cars and vendors. You have to stay close to me and hold my hand. And you have to be careful and polite. Do you understand?" Mom said. She put on her coat and hat. + +"Yes, Mom. We understand," Ben and Lily said. They put on their coats and hats too. They were very excited. They grabbed Mom's hands and ran to the door. + +They went to the park and saw many things. They saw birds and squirrels and dogs. They saw flowers and trees and grass. They saw swings and slides and sand. They saw people and cars and vendors. The vendors were selling things like ice cream and balloons and toys. Ben and Lily wanted to buy everything. + +"Mom, can we have some ice cream?" Ben asked. He pointed to a vendor with a big cart. + +"Mom, can we have a balloon?" Lily asked. She pointed to a vendor with a bunch of colorful balloons. + +"Maybe later, sweeties. Let's play first. You can choose one thing each after we play, okay?" Mom said. She led them to the playground. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They played on the swings and slides and sand. They had a lot of fun. They made new friends and shared their toys. They forgot about the ice cream and the balloons for a while. They were happy at the park. +Lena and Tom were friends who lived in a big city. They liked to play together and learn new things. One day, they decided to go to the library and look at books about different countries. They saw pictures of mountains, rivers, animals, and people. + +"Wow, look at this country!" Tom said, pointing to a book. "It has a lot of gold and jewels. It must be very wealthy." + +Lena looked at the book and nodded. "It is very shiny and pretty. But do you think the people are happy there?" + +Tom shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe they are, maybe they are not. Why do you ask?" + +Lena thought for a moment. "Well, I think being wealthy is not the most important thing. I think being kind, helpful, and friendly is more important. Don't you agree?" + +Tom smiled. "Yes, I agree. You are very wise, Lena. I like being your friend." + +Lena smiled back. "Me too, Tom. You are very nice, Tom. I like being your friend too." + +They hugged and continued to look at the books. They learned a lot about different countries, but they also learned a lot about themselves. They decided that they were happy with what they had, and that they wanted to share their happiness with others. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big bush with red berries. Sara said, "Let's bake a pie with these berries. They look yummy." Tom said, "OK, but we need to ask Mom first. Maybe they are not good to eat." Sara said, "No, we don't need to ask. We can do it by ourselves. Come on, don't be scared." + +They picked some berries and went to the kitchen. They found a bowl, some flour, some sugar, and some butter. They mixed everything together and put it in a pan. Then they put the pan in the oven. They did not know how long to bake it, so they just waited. + +Soon, the kitchen was filled with smoke. Sara and Tom coughed and ran out. Mom came and saw the mess. She was angry and worried. She said, "What have you done? You could have burned the house down. And these berries are not for eating. They are poisonous. You are very foolish. You should have asked me before you touched anything." Sara and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to bake a pie. We did not know the berries were bad. We will not do it again." Mom said, "I'm glad you are safe, but you need to learn to listen and follow the rules. Now, help me clean up and then go to your room. No more playing today." Sara and Tom nodded and did as they were told. They learned their lesson. +Anna and Ben liked to travel with their mom and dad. They went to many places and saw many things. One day, they went to a big park with many trees and flowers. They saw a sign that said "Dragon Trail". They wanted to see a dragon. + +"Can we go to the dragon trail, please?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Dragons can be scary and dangerous," mom said. + +Anna and Ben followed the trail. They saw a big cave. They heard a loud roar. They saw a big, hairy dragon. The dragon had green scales, yellow eyes, and sharp teeth. The dragon was angry. + +"Who are you? Why are you here? This is my home. Go away!" the dragon shouted. + +Anna and Ben were scared. They ran back to mom and dad. + +"Mom, dad, we saw a dragon! It was big and hairy and angry!" Ben said. + +"Are you okay? Did it hurt you?" mom asked. + +"No, but it was very scary. It told us to go away," Anna said. + +Mom and dad hugged them. + +"I'm sorry you had a bad experience. Dragons are not very friendly. They like to be alone. They don't like visitors. Maybe you should respect their privacy and not bother them," dad said. + +Anna and Ben nodded. + +"We learned our lesson. We won't go to the dragon trail again. We will be nice to animals and people who live in different places. We will travel to other places where we are welcome," Anna said. + +"That's a good idea. Traveling is fun, but you have to be careful and respectful. You can learn a lot from different cultures and creatures, but you have to be polite and kind," mom said. + +Anna and Ben agreed. They thanked mom and dad for taking them to the park. They enjoyed the rest of the day. They saw many other things, but no more dragons. They were happy and safe. +Ben and Lily are brother and sister. They like to joke and play in their room. One day, they have a big idea. They want to make a slide with their mattress. + +They take the mattress off their bed and lean it against the wall. They climb on top of the mattress and slide down. They laugh and scream. They think it is very fun and crazy. + +But their mom hears the noise. She comes to their room and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? You are making too much noise and you are ruining the mattress. This is not a slide. This is a bed. Put the mattress back on the bed right now!" + +Ben and Lily are sorry. They did not mean to make mom angry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We were just joking and playing. We will put the mattress back on the bed." + +They do what mom says. They put the mattress back on the bed. They hug mom and say, "We love you, mom. Can we still joke and play?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can still joke and play. But not with the mattress. And not so loud. You can use your toys or your books or your crayons. There are many ways to joke and play. But please be careful and respectful of your things and your room." + +Ben and Lily nod and say, "OK, mom. We will. Thank you, mom." + +They go back to their room and find other ways to joke and play. They are happy and mom is happy. The end. +Mia and Leo were two adorable mice who loved cheese. They lived in a big house with many places to hide and play. Sometimes, they found cheese in the kitchen or in the trash. They always shared their cheese and were very happy. + +One day, they smelled a new kind of cheese. It was very strong and tasty. They followed the smell to a small wooden box. Inside the box, there was a big piece of cheese on a metal plate. Mia and Leo were very excited. They ran towards the box. + +"Wait, Mia!" Leo said. "This could be a trap. It looks dangerous." + +"Don't be silly, Leo," Mia said. "It's just cheese. I want to try it. You can have some too." + +Mia did not listen to Leo. She jumped into the box and bit the cheese. As soon as she did, the metal plate snapped and a wire closed the box. Mia was trapped inside. She screamed and cried. + +"Help, Leo! Help me! I'm sorry, I was wrong!" + +Leo was scared and sad. He tried to open the box, but it was too hard. He heard footsteps and saw a big man coming. The man had a mean face and a big stick. He picked up the box and laughed. + +"Ha! I got you, you little thief! You won't steal my cheese anymore. I'll teach you a lesson." + +The man took the box to his car and drove away. Leo ran after the car, but it was too fast. He lost sight of it. He did not know where Mia was or if he would ever see her again. He felt very lonely and sorry. He wished he had listened to Leo and stayed away from the trap. He learned a hard lesson: cheese is not worth losing a friend. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the sunshine. But today, the sunshine is very hot. Sara and Tom feel sweaty and thirsty. + +"Tom, I want to go inside. It is too hot here," Sara says. + +"But I want to stay outside. I like the sunshine. It makes me happy," Tom says. + +Sara and Tom look at each other. They do not agree. Sara thinks of a way to make Tom happy and cool. + +"Tom, I have an idea. Let us play with the water hose. We can spray water on each other and on the flowers. The water will make us cool and the flowers will grow. Do you like my idea?" Sara asks. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes the water hose. He likes to spray water on Sara and on the flowers. He nods his head. + +"Yes, I like your idea. Let us play with the water hose. But we have to be careful. We do not want to waste water or make a mess," Tom says. + +Sara and Tom run to the water hose. They turn it on and start to play. They laugh and splash and have fun. The water makes them cool and the sunshine makes them happy. They are glad they are friends. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But sometimes they fight over them. They are selfish. + +One day, they find a mop in the closet. It is long and wet and has strings at the end. They think it is funny. They want to play with it. + +"Give me the mop!" Anna says. "I saw it first!" + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. "I want it more!" + +They pull the mop from each other. They are angry. They do not share. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the closet. She sees the mop and the twins. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting over a mop?" + +"It is not a mop!" Anna says. "It is a princess hair!" + +"It is not a princess hair!" Ben says. "It is a snake!" + +Mom laughs. She thinks they are joking. But they are not. They are serious. + +"A mop is not a toy," Mom says. "It is for cleaning the floor. You have many toys in your room. Why don't you play with them?" + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel silly. They realize they are selfish. They do not need the mop. + +"Sorry, Mom," Anna says. + +"Sorry, Mom," Ben says. + +They hug Mom. They hug each other. They put the mop back in the closet. They go to their room. They play with their toys and books. They share. They are happy. +Anna likes to play with her hoop. She can roll it, spin it, and jump through it. She thinks it is fun and pretty. But Tom does not like Anna's hoop. He thinks it is boring and old. He likes to play with his cars and trucks. He thinks they are fast and loud. + +One day, Anna and Tom are in the park. Anna brings her hoop and Tom brings his cars and trucks. They play on different sides of the park. But then Tom sees Anna's hoop. He wants to try it. He runs to Anna and grabs her hoop. He says, "Give me your hoop. I want to play with it." + +Anna is angry and sad. She says, "No, Tom. This is my hoop. You have your cars and trucks. Go play with them." She tries to get her hoop back. But Tom is bigger and stronger. He pulls the hoop away from Anna. He says, "Your hoop is stupid. It does not work. It does not make any noise. It is just a regular hoop. My cars and trucks are better. They work. They make noise. They are not regular." + +Anna starts to cry. She says, "Tom, you are mean. You are not my friend. You hurt my feelings. You hurt my hoop. My hoop works. It works for me. It makes me happy. It is not regular. It is special. It is my hoop." + +Tom does not care. He laughs at Anna. He says, "Your hoop is not special. It is nothing. Watch this." He throws the hoop in the air. He tries to catch it. But he misses. The hoop falls to the ground. It breaks. It cracks in two. + +Anna and Tom are both shocked. They look at the broken hoop. Anna stops crying. She says, "Tom, you are bad. You broke my hoop. You broke my toy. You broke my heart. You owe me a new hoop. You owe me an apology." + +Tom feels sorry. He says, "Anna, I am sorry. I was wrong. I was rude. I was jealous. I wanted to play with your hoop. But I did not ask. I did not share. I did not care. I broke your hoop. I broke your toy. I broke your heart. I owe you a new hoop. I owe you an apology." + +Anna and Tom hug. They say, "We are sorry. We are friends. We can play together. We can share our toys. We can care for each other. We can have fun." + +They go to the store. They buy a new hoop. They buy a new car. They go back to the park. They play with their hoop and their car. They roll, spin, jump, and drive. They make noise and laugh. They are happy. They are not regular. They are special. They are friends. +Anna and Lily are sisters who like to play in the garden. They have a big box of toys that they share. One day, they find a bottle of shampoo in the box. Anna wants to use it to wash her hair, but Lily wants to use it to make bubbles. + +They start to fight over the shampoo. They pull and tug and shout. The shampoo falls on the ground and spills. Anna and Lily are both sad and angry. They say mean things to each other. + +They decide to bury the shampoo in the dirt. They dig a hole with their hands and put the bottle inside. They cover it with soil and leaves. They think they will never see it again. + +But the next day, it rains. The rain makes the dirt wet and soft. The shampoo bottle comes out of the hole. It shines in the sun. Anna and Lily see it from the window. They run outside to get it. + +They are surprised and happy. They say sorry to each other. They hug and smile. They decide to share the shampoo. They use it to wash their hair and make bubbles. They think the shampoo is pretty and fun. They play in the garden and forget their fight. +Anna loves fruit. She likes to eat apples, bananas, oranges and grapes. She likes to make fruit salad with her mom. She helps her mom to remove the skin from the bananas and the oranges. She helps her mom to cut the apples and the grapes. She likes to mix the fruit in a big bowl. + +One day, Anna and her mom go to the market. They see many amazing fruits. They see fruits that are big and small, red and green, yellow and purple. They see fruits that have spikes and hairs, seeds and pits, peels and shells. Anna and her mom want to try some new fruits. + +They buy a pineapple, a coconut, a kiwi and a dragon fruit. They take them home and wash them. Anna and her mom try to remove the skin from the pineapple and the coconut. They use a knife and a hammer. It is hard work. Anna and her mom try to remove the skin from the kiwi and the dragon fruit. They use a spoon and a fork. It is easy work. + +Anna and her mom cut the fruits and put them in a new bowl. They make a new fruit salad. They taste the fruits. They are sweet and sour, juicy and crunchy, soft and hard. They are amazing. Anna and her mom smile and share the fruit salad. They are happy. They love fruit. +Lily and Ben are on a trip with their mom and dad. They go to a big city with many cars and people. Mom and dad want to see a temple. A temple is a big house where some people pray and sing. Lily and Ben are not very interested in the temple. They think it is too fancy and boring. + +They see a big gate with many colors and shapes. They want to go inside and play. Mom and dad say no. They say they have to watch the temple from outside. They say it is not polite to run and shout in the temple. Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They do not want to watch the temple. They want to have fun. + +They see a man with a big hat and a long beard. He is standing near the gate. He is holding a stick with a bell. He smiles at Lily and Ben. He says he is a guide. He says he can show them the temple and tell them stories. He says he can make the bell ring and make the people in the temple happy. Lily and Ben are curious and excited. They ask mom and dad if they can go with the man. Mom and dad say yes. They say they will watch them from outside. + +Lily and Ben follow the man inside the gate. They see many statues and paintings and flowers. They see many candles and lamps and books. They see many people wearing different clothes and jewels. The man tells them the names and stories of the statues and paintings. He tells them why the people pray and sing.

They go to the car and drive to the next place. +Lily and Max were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a carrot nose and a hat. They gave him a name: Bob. + +"Bob is our friend," Lily said. "He is very nice and soft." + +"Yes, he is," Max agreed. "But he is also cold. Maybe he wants some cocoa." + +Lily and Max ran inside the house. They asked their mom for some cocoa. She smiled and poured them two cups. + +"Can we bring some cocoa for Bob?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. It's hot," mom said. + +Lily and Max took their cups and went outside. They saw Bob standing in the sun. He looked happy. + +"Hello, Bob," Lily said. "We brought you some cocoa. It is warm and sweet." + +She put her cup on the ground next to Bob. Max did the same. + +"Drink it, Bob," Max said. "It will make you feel good." + +But Bob did not drink. He did not move. He did not say anything. + +Lily and Max waited. They sipped their cocoa. It was yummy. + +They looked at Bob again. He looked smaller. His carrot nose was dripping. His hat was falling. + +"Bob, what's wrong?" Lily asked. "Are you sick?" + +Max touched Bob. He felt rough and wet. + +"Bob is melting!" Max cried. "The sun is making him disappear!" + +Lily and Max were sad. They hugged Bob. They said goodbye. + +They ran inside the house. They told their mom what happened. + +Mom hugged them. She said, "Don't be sad. Bob was a snowman. Snowmen don't last forever. But you can make another one when it snows again." + +Lily and Max nodded. They felt better. + +They drank their cocoa. They smiled. They remembered Bob. He was their friend. He was very nice and soft. +Lily was a big girl who liked to help her mom. Her mom worked at a school and gave books and pencils to the teachers and kids. She called this supply. Lily wanted to supply too, so she put on her mom's uniform. It was a blue shirt and a black skirt. It was too big for Lily, but she did not care. + +She took a big bag of books and pencils and went to the school. She saw a teacher and said, "Hello, I am supply. Do you need books and pencils?" The teacher looked at Lily and smiled. She said, "Thank you, but I have enough books and pencils. You are very kind, but you should not wear your mom's uniform. It is not for you." + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to be like her mom. She went to another teacher and said, "Hello, I am supply. Do you need books and pencils?" The teacher looked at Lily and frowned. He said, "No, I do not need books and pencils. You are not supply. You are a little girl. You should not wear your mom's uniform. It is not for you." + +Lily felt angry. She wanted to be like her mom. She went to another teacher and said, "Hello, I am supply. Do you need books and pencils?" The teacher looked at Lily and laughed. She said, "No, I do not need books and pencils. You are not supply. You are a foolish girl. You should not wear your mom's uniform. It is not for you." + +Lily felt ashamed. She wanted to be like her mom, but she was not. She was a foolish girl who wore a big uniform. She ran back to her mom and gave her the bag of books and pencils. She said, "I am sorry, mom. I wanted to be like you, but I was not. I was a foolish girl who wore your uniform. It is not for me." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It is okay, Lily. I love you. You are not a foolish girl. You are a smart and sweet girl. You do not need to be like me. You need to be yourself. You have your own uniform. It is your smile and your heart. It is for you." +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today they are spies. They have a secret mission. They want to find the original painting of a big flower in the museum. + +They sneak into the museum with their spy hats and glasses. They look at many paintings. They see many colors and shapes. But they do not see the big flower. + +"Where is it?" Lila whispers to Ben. + +"Maybe it is in that room." Ben points to a door with a sign that says "Do not enter". + +They walk to the door. But they see a guard. He is big and strong. He has a badge and a walkie-talkie. He looks at them. + +"Hey, you two. What are you doing here?" the guard asks. + +Lila and Ben are scared. They think the guard will catch them. They do not want to get in trouble. + +"Uh, we are just looking for the bathroom." Lila says. + +"The bathroom is over there." the guard says. He points to another door. + +"Thank you." Lila says. She grabs Ben's hand. They hurry to the other door. They hope the guard will not follow them. + +They open the door. They see a bright light. They see the big flower. It is beautiful. It has many colors. It is the original painting. + +"Wow, we found it!" Ben says. + +"We did it!" Lila says. + +They smile. They are happy. They are the best spies ever. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in a tree. The bird has a long neck and gray feathers. It makes a loud sound. + +"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily says. "What is it?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is a goose. Geese have long necks and gray feathers." + +"But geese don't live in trees," Lily says. "They live near water. And they don't make that sound. They say honk-honk." + +"Then maybe it is an ostrich," Ben says. "Ostriches have long necks and gray feathers too." + +"But ostriches are very big," Lily says. "They are bigger than us. And they don't fly. They run fast." + +They discuss the bird for a long time. They try to guess what it is. They look at its beak, its wings, its feet. They compare it to other birds they know. + +Then, the bird flies away. It goes to another tree. Lily and Ben follow it. They want to see it better. + +"Hey, I know what it is!" Ben says. "It is a crane. Cranes have long necks and gray feathers. And they live in trees and water. And they make that sound." + +"You are right," Lily says. "It is a crane. It is a beautiful bird. I like it." + +They smile at each other. They are happy. They have learned something new. They watch the crane for a while. Then they go back to play. +Tom was a big dog who liked to run and play. He had a lot of friends who lived near his house. One day, he saw a new friend in the garden. It was a small bird who had a hurt wing. The bird could not fly or hop very well. + +"Hello, little bird. What is your name?" Tom asked. + +"My name is Pip. I was flying with my family, but a bad cat chased us. He caught me and bit my wing. Then he ran away. I am very sad and scared," Pip said. + +"Poor Pip. I am sorry that the cat was mean to you. Do you want to be my friend?" Tom said. + +"Yes, please. You are very kind and gentle. Can you help me find a safe place to rest?" Pip said. + +"Of course. Come with me. I know a good spot under the hedge. It is cozy and warm. You can nap there until you feel better," Tom said. + +Tom carried Pip gently in his mouth and took him to the hedge. He made a soft nest with some leaves and grass. He put Pip in the nest and lay down next to him. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I hope my wing will heal soon, so I can fly again," Pip said. + +"You are welcome, Pip. I hope so too. But until then, you can stay with me. I will protect you and share my food with you. We can have fun together," Tom said. + +They snuggled under the hedge and napped. They dreamed of happy things. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind and helpful to those who are in need. You can make new friends and learn from them. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They were having fun, but they were also hungry. They wanted some food. + +"Mommy, can we have some food?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, sweetie, I'll make you some sandwiches in a minute. Just wait a little bit, okay?" Mommy said. + +But Ben did not want to wait. He was very hungry and cranky. He threw his toy car on the floor and stomped his feet. + +"Food! Food! Food!" he demanded. "I want food now!" + +Mommy did not like Ben's attitude. She came to the living room and looked at him with a stern face. + +"Ben, that is not how you ask for food. You need to be polite and patient. You need to say please and thank you. And you need to pick up your toy car. You made a mess," Mommy said. + +Ben did not listen to Mommy. He crossed his arms and pouted. He did not say please or thank you. He did not pick up his toy car. He just kept demanding food. + +Mommy was very upset. She decided to give Lily a sandwich, but not Ben. She said, "Lily, here is your sandwich. You were a good girl. You asked nicely and waited. You can eat your sandwich in the kitchen. Ben, you get no sandwich. You were a bad boy. You were rude and impatient. You can stay in the living room until you say sorry." + +Lily took her sandwich and went to the kitchen. She felt sorry for Ben, but she also knew he was wrong. She hoped he would say sorry soon. + +Ben watched Lily leave with her sandwich. He felt angry and hungry. He wanted a sandwich too. But he did not want to say sorry. He thought Mommy was unfair. He thought he deserved food. + +He stayed in the living room for a long time. He did not play with his toys. He did not talk to Mommy. He just sat on the couch and sulked. + +After a while, he started to feel lonely and bored. He also started to feel guilty. He realized he was mean to Mommy and Lily. He realized he should have been polite and patient. He realized he should have picked up his toy car. + +He decided to say sorry. He got up from the couch and walked to the kitchen. He saw Mommy and Lily eating their sandwiches. He felt ashamed. + +"Mommy, Lily, I'm sorry," he said. "I'm sorry I demanded food. I'm sorry I was rude and impatient. I'm sorry I threw my toy car and made a mess. Can I have a sandwich too?" + +Mommy and Lily looked at Ben. They saw he was sincere. They smiled. + +"Ben, I'm glad you said sorry. That was very brave and mature of you. You can have a sandwich too. But first, you need to pick up your toy car and put it away. And then you need to say please and thank you. Can you do that?" Mommy said. + +Ben nodded. He ran to the living room and picked up his toy car. He put it in his toy box. Then he came back to the kitchen and said, "Please, Mommy, can I have a sandwich? Thank you, Mommy, for making me a sandwich." + +Mommy gave Ben a sandwich. She hugged him and said, "You're welcome, Ben. I love you. And I'm proud of you for saying sorry and being polite." + +Lily gave Ben a sandwich too. She hugged him and said, "I love you too, Ben. And I'm happy you're my brother." + +Ben ate his sandwich. He felt happy and full. He learned his lesson. He never demanded food again. He always said please and thank you. And he always picked up his toys. He was a good boy. +Lily and Ben were going to camp with Mom and Dad. They were very happy. They liked to sleep in a big tent and play outside. They packed their bags and put them in the car. + +When they got to the camp, they saw a lot of trees and flowers. They also saw some animals. Lily saw a squirrel and wanted to pet it. She ran after it, but it was too fast. Ben saw a frog and wanted to catch it. He reached for it, but it jumped away. + +"Come on, kids, let's set up the tent," Mom said. "We need to put the poles and the fabric together." + +Lily and Ben helped Mom and Dad put up the tent. It was fun. They made a cozy bed inside with blankets and pillows. They also put some snacks and toys in a box. + +"Can we go explore the camp?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful," Dad said. "Don't go too far and don't touch anything that might hurt you." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They took their hats and water bottles and went to look around. They saw more animals and plants. They also saw a small pond with fish and ducks. + +"Look, a duck!" Lily said. "It's so cute. Can we feed it?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it will bite us." + +"No, it won't," Lily said. "It's harmless. It's just hungry. Let's give it some bread." + +Lily took a piece of bread from her pocket and threw it to the duck. The duck ate it and quacked. Lily smiled. She threw another piece. The duck ate it and quacked again. + +"See, it likes us," Lily said. "Let's give it more." + +"OK, but not too much," Ben said. "We don't want to make it sick." + +They gave the duck some more bread. The duck was happy. It swam closer to them. It wanted more bread. + +"Uh-oh, we're out of bread," Lily said. "Sorry, duck. We have no more." + +The duck was not happy. It wanted more bread. It quacked loudly. It splashed water at them. It bit Lily's finger. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. "It bit me! It bit me!" + +Ben was scared. He grabbed Lily's hand and ran away. The duck chased them. It quacked angrily. It wanted more bread. + +"Help! Help!" Lily and Ben shouted. "The duck is after us!" + +Mom and Dad heard them. They came out of the tent. They saw the duck. They saw Lily's finger. It was bleeding. + +"Oh, no!" Mom said. "What happened?" + +"The duck bit me!" Lily said. "It was harmless, but then it was mean!" + +Mom hugged Lily. She cleaned her finger and put a band-aid on it. Dad shooed the duck away. He gave it some corn. The duck ate it and calmed down. + +"It's OK, sweetie," Mom said. "The duck didn't mean to hurt you. It was just greedy. You shouldn't feed wild animals. They might get sick or aggressive." + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Lily said. "I didn't know. I won't do it again." + +"I'm sorry, too, Mom," Ben said. "I should have stopped her." + +"It's OK, kids," Mom said. "You learned your lesson. Now, let's go back to the tent and have some fun. We have some cookies and milk for you." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They followed Mom and Dad to the tent. They had some cookies and milk. They felt better. They forgot about the duck. They enjoyed their camp. +Lily and Ben like to play with clay. They have many colors of clay. They can make shapes and animals with clay. They can roll and squeeze and cut the clay. + +One day, they want to make a parade with clay. They make many clay people and clay animals. They give them hats and clothes and tails. They make a clay drum and a clay trumpet. They are very happy with their parade. + +They put their parade on a big tray. They want to show Mom and Dad their parade. They hold the tray and march to the living room. They march like soldiers. They make noise with their mouths. They say, "Look at our parade! Look at our parade!" + +Mom and Dad are on the couch. They see Lily and Ben marching with their tray. They smile and clap. They say, "Wow, what a wonderful parade! You are very creative!" + +Lily and Ben put the tray on the table. They show Mom and Dad their clay people and clay animals. They tell them their names and stories. Mom and Dad touch the clay. They feel the texture. They say, "The clay is soft and smooth. Some clay is thick and some clay is thin. How did you make the clay thin?" + +Lily and Ben say, "We used a roller. We rolled the clay flat. Then we used a knife. We cut the clay into strips. Then we wrapped the strips around the clay people and clay animals. That's how we made the hats and clothes and tails." + +Mom and Dad say, "That's very clever. You used the roller and the knife well. You made the clay thin and you made the parade fun. We are very proud of you!" + +Lily and Ben hug Mom and Dad. They say, "Thank you! We love you! We love clay!" They are very happy. They love to play with clay. +Tim and Liz are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a rope on a tree. They want to swing on the rope. + +"Can I go first?" Tim asks. + +"OK, but be careful," Liz says. + +Tim holds the rope and runs. He swings high in the air. He feels happy. He laughs. + +"Wow, you are good at swinging!" Liz says. + +Tim is modest. He does not boast. He says, "Thank you. You can try now." + +He gives the rope to Liz. Liz holds the rope and runs. She swings high in the air. She feels happy. She laughs. + +"Wow, you are good at swinging, too!" Tim says. + +Liz is modest. She does not boast. She says, "Thank you. You are a nice friend." + +They take turns swinging on the rope. They have fun. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. Anna likes to sort the blocks by color. She makes piles of red, blue, yellow and green blocks. Ben likes to build towers with the blocks. He stacks them high and makes them look like castles. + +"Ben, stop!" Anna says. "You are messing up my piles. You have to sort the blocks by color. That is the right way to play." + +"But I like to build towers," Ben says. "It is fun to see how high they can go. And I can make them look like anything I want." + +Anna is bossy. She does not like how Ben plays. She wants him to do what she says. She grabs a block from his tower and puts it in her pile. + +"Hey, that is my block!" Ben says. "Give it back!" + +"No, it is a red block. It belongs in the red pile," Anna says. + +Ben is angry. He grabs another block from Anna's pile and puts it on his tower. + +"Stop it, Ben!" Anna says. "You are ruining my piles. You have to sort the blocks by color." + +They start to pull and push the blocks from each other. They do not share. They do not listen. They do not play nice. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. They look up and see that their blocks have fallen. Their piles and towers are gone. The blocks are all over the floor. They are mixed up and messy. + +They are shocked. They are sad. They are sorry. + +They look at each other and say, "I'm sorry. I was not nice to you. I was not a good friend." + +They hug and make up. They decide to play together. They sort the blocks by color and build towers with them. They share and listen and play nice. They have fun. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They live in a small village near the big forest. They like to play outside and explore new things. One day, they find a big tree with many red fruits. They are hungry and want to try them. + +"Look, Ben, these fruits look yummy!" Anna says. "Let's pick some and eat them." + +"OK, Anna, but be careful. They might be sour or bitter." Ben says. + +They climb the tree and reach for the fruits. They are round and shiny and smell sweet. Anna picks one and bites it. She makes a funny face and spits it out. + +"Yuck! This fruit is not yummy at all! It is sour and makes my mouth hurt!" Anna says. + +Ben laughs and picks another fruit. He bites it and makes a funny face too. + +"Yuck! You are right, Anna, this fruit is not yummy at all! It is bitter and makes my tongue hurt!" Ben says. + +They throw the fruits away and climb down the tree. They are sad and disappointed. They want to find something else to eat. + +They walk around the forest and see a bush with many blue berries. They are small and soft and smell nice. Anna and Ben smile and run to the bush. + +"Look, Ben, these berries look yummy!" Anna says. "Let's pick some and eat them." + +"OK, Anna, but be careful. They might have bugs or thorns." Ben says. + +They pick some berries and put them in their mouths. They are sweet and juicy and make them happy. Anna and Ben eat more and more berries. They are full and satisfied. + +"Mmm, these berries are yummy!" Anna says. "They are sweet and make me feel good!" + +"Mmm, me too!" Ben says. "They are juicy and make me feel comfortable!" + +They sit under the bush and rest. They are happy and grateful. They have found something good to eat. They hug each other and smile. They are friends. +Anna and Ben are playing in the living room. They see a big armchair in the corner. It is brown and soft. They want to sit on it. + +"Let's enter the armchair!" Anna says. She runs to the armchair and climbs on it. She makes room for Ben. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He follows Anna and tries to enter the armchair. But he is too big. He cannot fit on the armchair with Anna. + +"Ouch! You are pushing me!" Anna says. She feels Ben's legs and arms on her. + +"Sorry! I cannot fit!" Ben says. He feels Anna's hair and elbows on him. + +They both try to move and find space on the armchair. But they cannot. They are stuck on the armchair. + +"Help! We cannot enter the armchair!" they shout. They hope someone will hear them and help them. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a small tent where they kept their toys and books. + +One day, they saw dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise like a big drum. They felt drops of water on their faces. They knew it was a storm. + +"Let's go inside, Ben," Lily said. "It's not safe to play in a storm." + +"No, I want to stay here," Ben said. "I have a plan. We can hide in the tent and pretend we are explorers. The storm is our adventure." + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked to pretend, too. But she was also a little scared of the storm. + +"OK, but only for a little while," she said. "And we have to take some snacks with us. I'm hungry." + +They ran to the kitchen and grabbed some cookies and juice. They put them in a backpack and ran back to the yard. They crawled into the tent and zipped it up. + +They ate their snacks and read some books. They listened to the storm and made up stories about what they saw and heard. + +The cookies and juice were yummy. The books were fun. The stories were exciting. + +They forgot to be scared of the storm. They were happy in their tent. They had a good plan. +Lily and Tom were playing with paper dolls in their room. They had many dolls with different clothes and hair. Lily liked to make new dolls by cutting and coloring paper. Tom liked to use the original dolls that their mom gave them. + +"Look, I made a princess doll with a long dress and a crown!" Lily said, showing Tom her paper doll. + +"That's not a princess, that's a mess!" Tom said, grabbing the paper doll from Lily. "You ruined it! This is a princess!" He showed Lily his original doll with a pink dress and a bow. + +"Give it back!" Lily cried, trying to get her paper doll back. "You're mean!" + +"No, you're mean! You always make ugly dolls!" Tom said, pulling the paper doll harder. + +They both pulled and pulled until the paper doll tore in half. Lily and Tom gasped and stared at the torn paper. + +"Look what you did!" Lily said, sobbing. "You broke my princess!" + +"No, you broke my princess!" Tom said, angry. "You're a bad sister!" + +They both ran out of the room, holding their half of the paper doll. They went to the kitchen, where their mom was washing dishes in the sink. + +"Mom, mom, look what Tom did!" Lily said, showing her mom the torn paper. + +"Mom, mom, look what Lily did!" Tom said, showing his mom the torn paper. + +Their mom looked at the paper and frowned. She was not happy. + +"What did you do?" She asked, sternly. "Why did you tear the paper doll?" + +Lily and Tom both pointed at each other and said, "He did it!" "She did it!" + +Their mom shook her head and sighed. She took the paper from their hands and threw it in the trash. + +"That's enough. No more paper dolls for you. Go to your room and think about what you did. You need to learn to share and be nice to each other." She said, firmly. + +Lily and Tom hung their heads and walked to their room. They had no paper dolls to play with. They had no fun. They had a bad ending. +Lila and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a stream in the park. It was shiny and clear. They wanted to drink some water from the stream. + +They ran to the stream and bent down. They saw their faces in the water. They smiled and opened their mouths. The water looked delicious. + +But the water was not delicious. It was bad. It had dirt and bugs and germs in it. Lila and Tom did not know that. They drank the water and felt sick. Their tummies hurt and they felt dizzy. They wanted to go home. + +They tried to stand up, but they fell down. They cried and called for help. But no one heard them. They were too far from the path. They were alone and scared. + +They wished they did not drink the water. They wished they did not accept the stream. They wished they listened to their mommies, who told them not to drink from strange places. But it was too late. They drank the water and it was bad. The end. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toy cars and trucks in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road. Sara had a red car and Ben had a blue truck. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud sound outside. It was like a big wind that made everything shake. They looked out the window and saw a big, scary thing that looked like a funnel. It was a tornado! It was spinning and moving very fast. It was picking up things and throwing them in the air. + +Sara and Ben were very scared. They ran to their mom and dad, who were in the kitchen. Mom and dad hugged them and told them not to worry. They said they had to go to the basement, where it was safe. They grabbed some blankets and a flashlight and went down the stairs. + +In the basement, they found a corner where they could sit and wait. Mom and dad told them stories and sang songs to make them feel better. They heard the tornado roar and rumble above them, but they did not see it. They hoped it would go away soon. + +After a while, the noise stopped. Mom and dad checked the radio and said the tornado was gone. They said they were very lucky and proud of Sara and Ben for being brave. They went back upstairs and saw that their house was still standing. Some of their neighbors' houses were damaged, but no one was hurt. They helped them clean up and share some food and water. They were glad they were safe and together. They were successful in surviving the tornado. +Anna liked to read books. She had many books in her room. She read books about animals, and colors, and shapes. She read books every day. + +One day, she found a new book in her room. It was a big book with many pictures. The book was about a nation. A nation was a big place with many people. The book showed different nations and how they lived. + +Anna opened the book and started to read. She saw a nation with snow and ice. The people wore warm clothes and played with dogs. She saw a nation with sun and sand. The people wore bright clothes and danced with drums. She saw a nation with mountains and rivers. The people wore hats and rode on horses. + +She turned the page and saw a nation with smoke and fire. The people wore angry faces and held guns. They shouted and fought with each other. Anna felt scared and sad. She did not like this nation. She did not understand why they were so bitter. + +She closed the book and ran to her mom. She hugged her mom and said, "Mom, why are some people so bitter? Why do they hurt each other?" + +Her mom smiled and kissed her head. She said, "Some people are bitter because they are afraid or unhappy. They do not know how to share or care. They do not know how to love or learn. But you, my sweet Anna, you are not bitter. You are kind and curious. You love to read and learn. You can make the world a better place with your books and your heart." +Lily and Ben were very happy. It was Christmas Eve and they had a new tree in their living room. The tree was big and green and had many lights and ornaments on it. Lily and Ben liked to look at the ornaments. They were shiny and colorful and had different shapes. + +"Look, Ben, this one is a star!" Lily said, pointing to a yellow ornament at the top of the tree. + +"I like this one better. It is a car!" Ben said, holding a red ornament that looked like a toy car. + +"Can I see it?" Lily asked. + +"Okay, but be careful. It is new and fragile," Ben said, handing the ornament to Lily. + +Lily took the ornament and looked at it closely. She saw that it had four wheels and a window and a door. She liked how it sparkled in the light. + +"Wow, it is so pretty! Can I zoom it?" Lily asked. + +"Zoom it? What do you mean?" Ben asked. + +"Like this!" Lily said, and she moved the ornament back and forth in the air, making a vroom-vroom sound. + +"Hey, stop that! You might drop it and break it!" Ben said, reaching for the ornament. + +But Lily was having too much fun. She zoomed the ornament faster and faster, laughing and giggling. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" she said. + +Suddenly, the ornament slipped from her hand and flew across the room. It hit the wall and shattered into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben said together. + +They heard their mom and dad coming from the kitchen. + +"What was that noise?" their mom asked. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt scared and sorry. They knew they had done something bad. + +They ran to their mom and dad and hugged them. + +"We're sorry, we're sorry!" they said. + +"We broke the new ornament. It was a car and we zoomed it and it crashed," they said. + +Their mom and dad looked at the broken ornament on the floor. They saw that it was new and fragile. They felt sad and angry. + +But they also saw that Lily and Ben were sorry and scared. They felt love and forgiveness. + +They hugged Lily and Ben back. + +"It's okay, it's okay," they said. + +"We're not mad at you. We're glad you're not hurt. But you have to be careful with the ornaments. They are not toys. They are for decoration. Do you understand?" they said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. + +"Yes, we understand. We're sorry. We won't zoom the ornaments again," they said. + +Their mom and dad smiled. + +"Good. Now let's clean up the mess and enjoy the tree. It's still beautiful and we have many other ornaments. And maybe next year we can get you a new car ornament. A real toy one that you can zoom safely," they said. + +Lily and Ben smiled too. + +"Thank you, mom and dad. We love you. And we love the tree. And we love Christmas," they said. + +They all hugged and kissed and went to the living room. They sat on the couch and looked at the tree. It was big and green and had many lights and ornaments on it. They felt happy and cozy. They sang some songs and read some stories. They waited for Santa to come. They had a merry Christmas. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a kite and a bike. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He is sad. He has no toys and no friends. Lily and Max want to help him. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Lily asks the new boy. + +"I am Sam," he says. + +"Do you want to play with us?" Max asks. + +Sam nods. He smiles a little. + +Lily and Max give him some toys. They show him how to throw the ball, fly the kite and ride the bike. Sam learns fast. He laughs and enjoys the game. + +After a while, they are hungry. Lily and Max have a snack. They have some cookies and juice. They offer some to Sam. + +"Thank you, you are very kind," Sam says. + +"You are welcome, you are our friend," Lily and Max say. + +They eat their snack and talk. They find out that Sam is new in town. He moved with his family from another place. He misses his old friends and school. + +"We understand, we moved here last year," Lily says. + +"It is hard at first, but you will make new friends soon," Max says. + +"We can be your friends, if you want," Lily and Max say together. + +Sam feels happy. He has new friends. He has toys. He has a snack. He has a kind heart. + +He hugs Lily and Max. He says, "Thank you, you are the best friends ever." +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to splash in the pool and make bubbles with the soap. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a lot of mess. + +"Ben, Lily, time to come in!" their mom called from the door. "You need to dry off and get ready for dinner." + +Ben and Lily got out of the pool and ran to the door. They saw a big pile of towels on the floor. They each grabbed one and wrapped it around them. + +"Thank you, mom!" they said. + +"You're welcome, my loves," their mom said. "But where is the towel for Spot?" + +Spot was their dog. He was wet and muddy from playing with them in the pool. He wagged his tail and looked at them with his big eyes. + +"Oops, we forgot about Spot," Ben said. + +"Sorry, Spot," Lily said. + +They looked at the pile of towels again. There was only one left. It was small and pink and had flowers on it. It was Lily's favorite towel. + +"Can we use this one for Spot?" Ben asked. + +Lily hesitated. She loved her towel. She did not want to share it with Spot. She did not think he would understand. + +"No, Ben, this is my towel," she said. "We can find another one for Spot." + +"But there is no other one, Lily," Ben said. "Look, the basket is empty." + +He pointed to the basket where their mom kept the towels. It was indeed empty. Their mom had used all the other towels to clean the house. + +Lily looked at the basket. She looked at her towel. She looked at Spot. He was still wet and muddy. He shivered a little. He looked sad. + +Lily felt sorry for Spot. She realized he was part of their family. He deserved a towel too. She decided to be nice and share. + +"Okay, Ben, we can use this one for Spot," she said. "But you have to be gentle with it. It is very soft and pretty." + +"Okay, Lily, I will be gentle," Ben said. "Thank you for sharing." + +They took the towel and dried off Spot. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. He was happy. + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She was proud of them. + +"Good job, Ben and Lily," she said. "You are very kind and generous. You understand how to share and care for others. I love you very much." + +They hugged her back and said, "We love you too, mom." + +They went inside to have dinner. They were hungry and tired, but also happy. They had learned a valuable lesson. They had also made Spot very happy. And Lily's towel was still soft and pretty. It just had a few muddy spots on it. But that was okay. She could wash it later. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big truck in the park. The truck had many ice creams. Lily and Sam loved ice creams. They wanted to try them all. + +"Look, Sam, ice creams!" Lily said. "Let's go and get some." + +"OK, Lily, but we have to ask our moms first," Sam said. + +Lily and Sam ran to their moms, who were sitting on a bench. They asked them if they could have some ice creams. Their moms said yes, but only one each, and they had to be careful. + +Lily and Sam were very happy. They thanked their moms and rushed to the truck. They saw many colors and flavors of ice creams. They had a hard time choosing. + +"I want the pink one, it looks yummy," Lily said. + +"I want the brown one, it smells good," Sam said. + +They gave some money to the man in the truck. He gave them their ice creams. Lily and Sam licked their ice creams. They tasted incredible. They smiled at each other. + +"Wow, this is the best ice cream ever," Lily said. + +"Me too, I love it," Sam said. + +They walked back to their moms, enjoying their ice creams. But they did not see the big dog that was following them. The dog liked ice creams too. He wanted to have some. He ran after Lily and Sam. He barked loudly. + +Lily and Sam heard the dog. They turned around and saw him. They were very scared. They dropped their ice creams and screamed. + +"Help, help, a dog!" Lily said. + +"Mom, mom, a dog!" Sam said. + +The dog jumped on their ice creams and ate them. He licked his lips. He was very happy. He wagged his tail. + +Lily and Sam ran to their moms, crying. Their moms hugged them and comforted them. They were very sad. They had no ice creams left. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. But they also like to eat pizza. Pizza is yummy and cheesy. + +One day, Tom and Mia go to Mia's house. Mia's mom says, "You can play in the living room, but first you have to clean your hands. Pizza is coming soon." Tom and Mia say, "Okay, mom. We will clean our hands." + +They go to the bathroom and turn on the water. They rub their hands with soap and rinse them. They dry their hands with a towel. They are ready for pizza. + +They run to the living room and see a big box on the table. It is pizza. Mia's mom says, "Here you go, kids. Enjoy your pizza. But be careful, it is hot." Tom and Mia say, "Thank you, mom. We love pizza." + +They open the box and see cheese, pepperoni, and olives on the pizza. They each take a slice and bite it. It is hot and delicious. They say, "Mmm, this pizza is great. We are so happy." + +They eat and eat until they are full. They have some juice to drink. They are very polite and say, "Please" and "Thank you". They are good friends. + +They finish their pizza and put their plates in the sink. They say, "Mom, can we play now?" Mia's mom says, "Yes, you can. But remember to clean your toys when you are done." Tom and Mia say, "Okay, mom. We will clean our toys." + +They go back to the living room and play with toys and books. They have fun and laugh. They share and take turns. They are nice to each other. + +They play until it is time to go home. They clean their toys and put them away. They say, "Bye, mom. Thank you for the pizza. It was great." Mia's mom says, "You are welcome, kids. You are very sweet. Come back soon." + +Tom and Mia hug and say, "Bye, friend. See you tomorrow." They walk to the door and wave. They are happy. They had a great day. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with many ducks and fish. They wanted to feed them some bread, so they ran to the pond with a bag. + +But when they got closer, they saw something else in the water. It was an alligator! It had a long tail, big teeth and a scary face. It looked hungry and angry. + +"Look, Tim, an alligator!" Sam shouted. "It is scary! Let's run away!" + +But Tim was curious and brave. He wanted to see the alligator better. He said, "No, Sam, it is not scary. It is just an animal. Maybe it is friendly. I want to say hello." + +He took a step closer to the pond and threw a piece of bread to the alligator. The alligator saw the bread and opened its mouth. It snapped at the bread and made a loud noise. + +Tim was scared. He realized the alligator was not friendly. It wanted to eat him and Sam. He said, "Sorry, alligator, we have to go. Bye-bye!" + +He grabbed Sam's hand and ran away from the pond. They did not stop until they reached their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They told her what they saw and what they did. + +Mom was shocked and angry. She said, "Tim and Sam, you were very naughty and foolish. You should never go near an alligator. It is very dangerous. It could hurt you or end you. You are lucky it did not chase you. Promise me you will never do that again." + +Tim and Sam nodded and said, "We promise, mom. We are sorry. We will never do that again." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you, boys. But please be careful and listen to me. Alligators are not for playing. They are for staying away." + +Tim and Sam learned their lesson. They never went near the pond again. They played with other things in the park, like swings and slides and balls. They were happy and safe. And they never saw the alligator again. The end. +One day, a big bird flew over the land. He saw many things: trees, flowers, animals, and people. He liked the land. He wanted to live there. + +He saw a small nest on a tall tree. He flew down and said to the nest, "Hello, nest. You are nice and cozy. Can I stay with you?" + +The nest said, "No, bird. You are too big and ugly. You will break me and make a mess. Go away." + +The bird was sad and angry. He said, "Fine, nest. You are mean and rude. I will show you. I will spread my wings and cover the land. Then you will have no sun, no rain, no air. You will be sorry." + +The bird did what he said. He spread his wings and covered the land. The land became dark and cold. The trees, flowers, animals, and people were scared and unhappy. They could not see, grow, or play. + +The nest saw what the bird did. He felt sorry and ashamed. He said to the bird, "Please, bird. Stop. You are hurting the land and everyone on it. You are not ugly. You are strong and beautiful. You can find another nest that is big and cozy. Please, let the land have sun, rain, and air again." + +The bird heard the nest. He felt sorry and ashamed too. He said to the nest, "You are right, nest. I was wrong. I am sorry. I will not hurt the land and everyone on it. I will lift my wings and let the land have sun, rain, and air again. I will find another nest that is big and cozy. Thank you, nest, for being kind and wise." + +The bird did what he said. He lifted his wings and let the land have sun, rain, and air again. The land became bright and warm. The trees, flowers, animals, and people were happy and grateful. They could see, grow, and play again. + +The bird flew away and found another nest that was big and cozy. He lived there happily. He never spread his wings and covered the land again. He learned to be nice and respectful. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a big boat on the sea.

Lily likes to polish her toys. Ben likes to make his toys dirty. We did not agree." + +Mom says, "Lily and Ben, you are twins. You should love each other. You should share your toys. You should respect each other's choices. It is okay to like different things. But it is not okay to hurt each other or ruin each other's toys. You should say sorry to each other and help each other clean up." + +Lily and Ben say sorry to each other. They hug each other. They help each other clean up. They wash their toys. They dry their toys. They put their toys back in the box. They find a new toy to play with. It is a big, hairy lion. They both like the lion. They take turns to polish it and make it dirty. They laugh and play. They are happy. Mom smiles. She is happy too. +Anna and Ben are playing in the yard. They have a big box and some old things. They pretend they have a shop and they sell the things to their friends. + +"Look, I have a stove!" Ben says. He shows a small toy stove with some pots and pans. "You can cook anything you want. It is very safe. It does not get hot or make fire. Do you want to buy it?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily says. She likes to play with the stove. She gives Ben some leaves and rocks. They are her money. "How much is it?" + +"It is five leaves and three rocks," Ben says. He takes the money and gives Lily the stove. "Thank you for buying from our shop. Have fun cooking!" + +Lily smiles and takes the stove to a corner. She puts some dirt and water in a pot and stirs it with a spoon. She pretends it is soup. She is very happy with her new stove. Anna and Ben are happy too. They sell more things to their friends and have a lot of fun. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. They want to go near the water and feed the ducks. + +"Look, Ben, ducks!" Lila says. "Let's bring some bread for them." + +"OK, Lila, but be careful. The water is deep and wet," Ben says. He takes some bread from his bag and breaks it into pieces. + +They walk to the edge of the pond and throw some bread to the ducks. The ducks swim to them and make loud noises. Lila and Ben laugh and clap their hands. + +"More, more!" Lila says. She reaches for more bread, but she slips and falls into the water. She screams and splashes. + +"Lila, Lila!" Ben shouts. He tries to grab her hand, but he can't reach her. He is scared and cries for help. + +A man who is walking his dog hears them and runs to the pond. He jumps into the water and pulls Lila out. He wraps her in his jacket and carries her to the bench. + +"Are you OK, Lila?" he asks. "You are very brave. But you are also very wet and cold. You need to change your clothes." + +"Thank you, mister," Lila says. She is shivering and sobbing. "I'm sorry, Ben. I was silly. I didn't listen to you." + +"It's OK, Lila. I'm glad you are safe," Ben says. He hugs her and gives her his hat. + +The man calls their mom and tells her what happened. He waits with them until she comes. She brings some dry clothes and a towel for Lila. She thanks the man and the dog for saving her daughter. + +She changes Lila's clothes and dries her hair. She kisses her and Ben and says, "I love you, my sweeties. Let's go home and have some hot chocolate." + +Lila and Ben smile and nod. They wave goodbye to the man and the dog. They hold their mom's hand and walk to the car. They learned a lesson today. They will always be careful near the water. And they will always listen to each other. +Lily loved to sing. She sang all the time, at home, at school, and in the park. She sang happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. She sang to her toys, her friends, and her family. She sang so much that everyone knew her voice. + +One day, her teacher told her that there was a singing contest at school. She asked Lily if she wanted to join. Lily was very excited. She wanted to show everyone how well she could sing. She said yes to her teacher. + +But then, she started to feel worried. What if she forgot the words? What if she sang too loud or too soft? What if the other kids laughed at her? She wished she could sing without being scared. + +She told her mom about her worry. Her mom hugged her and said, "Lily, you have a beautiful voice. You don't need to be afraid. Just sing from your heart and have fun. I will be there to cheer for you." + +Lily felt better. She practiced her song with her mom. She sang with confidence and joy. She sang like a bird. + +The day of the contest came. Lily went on the stage. She saw her mom in the crowd. She smiled and took a deep breath. She sang her song with all her heart. + +The result was amazing. Everyone clapped and cheered for her. She won the first prize. She was so happy. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "Thank you, mom. You were right. I just had to sing from my heart and have fun." + +Her mom said, "I'm so proud of you, Lily. You are a wonderful singer. I love you." + +Lily said, "I love you too, mom. And I love to sing." +Tim and Mia like to play in the big park. There are many things to do in the park, like swing, slide, and run. But their favorite thing is the maze. The maze is made of tall green plants that have paths between them. Tim and Mia like to pretend they are explorers and find their way to the middle of the maze. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. They run to the maze and enter from different sides. They say, "Let's see who gets to the middle first!" They follow the paths and turn left and right. Sometimes they see each other and wave. Sometimes they get lost and have to go back. + +Mia is very good at the maze. She remembers which way to go and which way to avoid. She gets to the middle first. She sees a big stone with a sign that says, "You did it!" She is happy and proud. She sits on the stone and waits for Tim. + +Tim is not so good at the maze. He forgets which way he came from and which way he should go. He gets confused and tired. He sees a shady spot under a plant and thinks, "Maybe I can rest here for a bit." He lies down on the ground and closes his eyes. + +Mia waits for a long time. She wonders where Tim is. She calls his name, but he does not answer. She gets worried and thinks, "Maybe he is lost or hurt." She decides to go and look for him. She gets up from the stone and follows the paths back. + +She finds Tim lying under the plant. He is sleeping and snoring. She is relieved and angry. She says, "Tim, wake up! You are not a regular explorer. You are a lazy explorer. You did not finish the maze. You did not find me. You just lie here and sleep. That is not fun. That is boring." + +Tim opens his eyes and sees Mia. He is surprised and embarrassed. He says, "Sorry, Mia. I was tired and lost. I did not mean to lie here and sleep. I wanted to find you and the middle. But the maze is too hard for me. Can you help me?" + +Mia sighs and says, "Okay, Tim. I will help you. But next time, you have to try harder and not give up. The maze is fun if you use your brain and your feet. Come on, let's go to the middle together. Then we can go and play something else." + +Tim nods and says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good sister and a good explorer. I will try harder next time. Let's go to the middle together. Then we can go and play something else." + +They hold hands and walk to the middle of the maze. They see the stone and the sign again. They smile and hug. They did it! +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat pizza for lunch. Mom said she would make pizza for them, but they had to wait. Lily and Ben did not like to wait. They were bored and angry. + +They saw the pizza dough on the table. It looked soft and fun. They decided to play with it. They took the dough and tore it into pieces. They threw the pieces in the air and laughed. They made a big mess. + +Mom came back and saw the mess. She was very mad. She said, "Lily and Ben, what did you do? You ruined the pizza dough! Now we have no pizza for lunch. You have to clean up this mess and go to your rooms. No pizza for you today!" + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They cried and said, "We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to have fun. We did not mean to ruin the pizza dough. Please forgive us. Please make pizza for us." + +Mom said, "No, you have to learn your lesson. You cannot play with food. You have to respect what you have and be patient. Maybe tomorrow you can have pizza, but only if you behave well. Now go and clean up." + +Lily and Ben went to clean up. They were sad and hungry. They wished they had not torn the pizza dough. They learned that playing with food is not fun, but a waste. + +The end. +Lily and Ben like to create things with dough. They have many colors of dough and many shapes to cut. They make animals, flowers, cars and stars. They have fun and laugh. + +One day, Lily and Ben want to create a cake with dough. They roll the dough and put it in a pan. They add some dough fruits and candles on top. They are very proud of their cake. + +They want to show their cake to Mommy. They carry the pan to the kitchen. But the pan is heavy and slippery. They drop the pan on the floor. The cake breaks and the dough makes a mess. + +Mommy hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the cake and the dough on the floor. She is not happy. She says, "What did you do? You made a big mess. You wasted the dough. You are not helpful. You are naughty." + +Lily and Ben feel sad and sorry. They cry and say, "We are sorry, Mommy. We wanted to create a cake for you. We wanted to be helpful. We did not mean to make a mess." + +Mommy sighs and says, "You should not play with dough in the kitchen. You should ask me first. You should clean up your mess. You should say sorry to the dough." + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "We are sorry, Mommy. We are sorry, dough. We will clean up. We will not play with dough in the kitchen again." + +They pick up the pieces of cake and the dough. They put them in a bag. They wipe the floor with a cloth. They are not happy. They do not want to create with dough anymore. They wish they had a real cake. +Sam and Mia are friends who like to play in the park. They have a big ball that looks like a planet. It has blue and green and white on it. They throw the ball to each other and try to catch it. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a red ball that looks like a different planet. It has orange and yellow and black on it. He throws the ball very high and very far. Sam and Mia want to play with him. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Sam asks the new boy. + +"My name is Leo. Do you want to play with my ball?" Leo says. + +"Yes, please. Your ball looks cool. What planet is it?" Mia says. + +"It is Mars. It is a hot planet. It has volcanoes and rocks and dust. It is fun to throw and catch." Leo says. + +Sam and Mia and Leo start to play with the red ball. They take turns to throw it and catch it. They have fun. + +But then, something bad happens. Leo throws the ball too hard and too fast. It flies over the fence and into the street. Sam runs after the ball. He does not look for cars. He does not hear Mia and Leo shout "Stop!" + +A big car comes and hits Sam. Sam falls down and does not get up. The ball rolls away. Mia and Leo are scared and sad. They cry and call for help. The car stops and the driver gets out. He is sorry and angry. He says "Why did you run into the street? You could have been killed!" + +The end. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big bike with a shiny helmet. Tom wants to ride the bike. He runs to the bike and picks up the helmet. + +"Look, Mia, I have a helmet!" he says. "I can ride the bike now!" + +Mia shakes her head. "No, Tom, you can't. That is not your bike. That is someone else's bike. You have to ask first." + +Tom does not listen. He is ignorant. He puts on the helmet and tries to get on the bike. But the bike is too big for him. He falls off the bike and hurts his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cries. "Mia, help me!" + +Mia runs to Tom and helps him up. She takes off the helmet and gives it back to the bike. She sees a man coming to the bike. He is angry. + +"Hey, kid, what are you doing with my bike and helmet?" he says. "That is not yours. That is mine. You could have broken it or hurt yourself. You are very naughty." + +Tom feels sorry. He says sorry to the man. He says sorry to Mia. He learns his lesson. He will not touch other people's things without asking. He will not be ignorant. He will be good. +Sara and Ben wanted to watch a movie. They asked their mom to let them choose one from the display. The display had many movies with pictures and words on them. + +Sara picked a movie with a princess and a dragon. She liked princesses and dragons. Ben picked a movie with a ghost and a monster. He liked ghosts and monsters. They both wanted to watch their movie. + +"No, no, no!" Sara said. "Your movie is too scary. I don't want to watch it." + +"No, no, no!" Ben said. "Your movie is too boring. I don't want to watch it." + +They started to fight and pull the movies from each other. Their mom heard them and came to the display. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" their mom said. "You can't watch both movies at the same time. You have to share and take turns." + +Sara and Ben did not want to share and take turns. They wanted to watch their movie now. + +Their mom had an idea. She said, "How about we watch a movie with both princesses and ghosts? That way, you can both enjoy it." + +Sara and Ben looked at the display. They saw a movie with a princess and a ghost. They had never seen it before. They were curious and excited. + +"Okay, okay, okay!" they said. "Let's watch that movie." + +They took the movie and went to the couch. Their mom put the movie in the player. They watched the movie and had fun. They were not scared or bored. They were happy. +Sara and Tom were happy. They liked to play in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and a small cup. They poured water on the flowers and the grass. They made a path with the water. + +But Ben was not happy. He was angry.

I'm sorry, Sara. I'm sorry, Tom. I was bad. I want to be good. I want to play with you." + +But Sara and Tom did not want to play with Ben. They were still mad. They said, "No, Ben. You were mean. You hurt us. You made us wet. You can't play with us. You can play by yourself." + +Ben was alone. He had no bucket. He had no cup. He had no water. He had no friends. He was not happy. + +The end. + +Moral value: Sharing is caring. Being mean makes you lonely. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys in the yard. One day, they find a big box. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Sara says. She pulls on the flap, but it is stuck. "We need something to cut it." + +Tom has an idea. He runs to the garage and comes back with a roll of tape. He shows it to Sara and points to the box. "We can use this to make a hole." + +Sara nods. She takes the tape and tears off a piece. She sticks it on the box and pulls hard. The tape makes a ripping sound and a small hole appears. Sara and Tom peek inside. They see colorful balls, blocks, and books. + +"Wow!" they say together. "This is a fun box!" + +They take out the toys and start to play. They throw the balls, build with the blocks, and look at the books. They are very happy and playful.

One day, they decide to collect berries from the garden. They want to make jam with their mom. + +They take a big basket and go outside. They see red berries, blue berries and black berries. They pick the berries and put them in the basket. They are careful not to touch the thorns. They say, "Look, we have so many berries! We can make a lot of jam!" + +They bring the basket to their mom. She is happy to see them. She says, "Wow, you did a great job! You collected a lot of berries! Do you want to help me make jam?" Lily and Ben nod and smile. They wash their hands and follow their mom to the kitchen. + +Their mom shows them how to wash the berries, mash them, cook them and put them in jars. She lets them stir the pot and taste the jam.

They are proud of their jam. They decide to give some jars to their friends and family. They say, "We made this jam with the berries we collected. We hope you like it!" Everyone is happy and thanks them. Lily and Ben feel good. They like to collect things and make jam. +Sara liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a shelf for her books. She knew where to find each toy when she wanted to play. She was very good at organizing. + +One day, her friend Ben came to visit. He saw Sara's toys and wanted to play with them. He took out some dolls and some cars and mixed them together. He did not care about organizing. He just wanted to have fun. + +Sara was not happy. She said to Ben, "Stop! You are making a mess. You have to organize the toys. They have a place. They have a value. They are not ordinary. They are special to me." + +Ben did not understand. He said, "Why? They are just toys. They are all ordinary. They have no value. You can play with them any way you want. Organizing is boring." + +Sara and Ben started to argue. They did not agree on how to play with the toys. They did not have fun. They were sad. + +Then, Sara's mom came in. She saw the toys and the children. She said, "What is going on? Why are you not playing nicely?" + +Sara and Ben told her what happened. They said they had different ideas about the toys. Sara's mom listened. She said, "I see. You both have different ways of enjoying the toys. Sara likes to organize them because it makes her feel happy and proud. Ben likes to mix them because it makes him feel creative and free. There is no right or wrong way to play with the toys. They are just toys. They have no value by themselves. They only have value because you like them and care for them. They are ordinary, but they can be special to you. The most important thing is to respect each other and share the toys. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben thought about it. They realized they were both being silly. They said sorry to each other. They decided to try each other's way of playing. Sara let Ben mix some of the toys. Ben helped Sara organize some of the toys. They found out that both ways were fun. They learned something new. They became friends. They were happy. +Sam and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. One day, they saw a big tunnel under a hill.

They saw many bugs, spiders, and rats. They heard strange noises and felt cold air. They were scared, but they kept going. + +"Maybe we will find something shiny and pretty," Sam said. + +They walked and walked until they saw a light at the end of the tunnel. They ran towards it, hoping it was the way out. But it was not. It was a big fire. Someone had thrown a match and a can of polish into the tunnel. The polish made the fire bigger and brighter. It was very hot and smoky. + +"Help! Help!" Sam and Lily shouted. + +But no one heard them. The fire blocked the way back. They could not escape. They hugged each other and cried. They were very sorry they went into the tunnel. + +The moral of the story is: Do not go into places you do not know. They might be dangerous. Listen to your parents and stay safe. +Tom likes to read books. He has many books with pictures and words. He reads about animals, cars, and stars. He reads every day before he sleeps. + +One day, he finds a new book on his bed. It is a big book with a horn on the cover. He opens the book and sees a story about a unicorn.

They are not lonely and sad anymore. They have each other. They are friends forever. +Lily and Sam went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. Lily liked the lions best. She wanted to see them up close. + +"Mom, can we go near the lions, please?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily, we have to stay behind the fence. The lions are not friendly. They might bite us," Mom said. + +"But they look so soft and pretty. I want to pet them," Lily said. + +Sam shook his head. He knew lions were dangerous. He liked the monkeys better. They were funny and smart. He wanted to feed them. + +"Dad, can we give the monkeys some bananas, please?" Sam asked. + +"Yes, Sam, we can. But we have to follow the order of the zookeeper. He knows what the monkeys like and need," Dad said. + +They went to the monkey house and saw the zookeeper. He had a big basket of fruits and nuts. He gave some to Sam and Lily. + +"Hello, kids. Do you want to help me feed the monkeys?" the zookeeper asked. + +"Yes, please!" Sam and Lily said. + +"Okay, but you have to be careful. Some monkeys are shy and some are naughty. And some have rare allergies. You have to give them the right food," the zookeeper said. + +He showed them how to hold the food and throw it to the monkeys. Sam and Lily had fun watching the monkeys catch and eat the food. They saw some monkeys swing and play, some monkeys groom and cuddle, and some monkeys fight and scream. + +Lily and Sam learned a lot about the monkeys. They thanked the zookeeper and said goodbye to the monkeys. They had a great day at the zoo. +Sara and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Sara is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Sara counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" + +She looks around the trees and the swings, but she cannot find Ben. She starts to feel nervous. Where is he? She wonders. She calls out, "Ben, where are you? I can't find you!" + +Ben hears Sara's voice, but he does not answer. He is hiding behind a big bush. He thinks he has a good spot. He tries to remain very still and quiet. He does not want Sara to see him or hear him. + +But then, he feels something tickle his leg. He looks down and sees a big ant crawling on his skin. He does not like ants. They make him itch and sting. He wants to shake it off, but he is afraid Sara will hear him. He tries to ignore it, but it is hard. + +The ant keeps moving up his leg, and then reaches his arm. Ben feels more and more nervous. He can't stand it anymore. He jumps up and screams, "Aaaah! Get off me, ant!" + +Sara hears Ben's scream and runs to the bush. She sees him waving his arms and shaking his leg. She laughs and says, "I found you, Ben! You are the hider and I am the seeker!" + +Ben stops screaming and looks at Sara. He feels silly and embarrassed. He says, "You found me, Sara. You are the seeker and I am the hider. But there was an ant on my skin. It was tickling me and I didn't like it." + +Sara smiles and says, "Don't worry, Ben. Ants are small and harmless. They won't hurt you. Come on, let's play again. This time, you are the seeker and I am the hider. Can you find me?" + +Ben nods and says, "OK, Sara. I will find you. But no more ants, please. They make me nervous." + +Sara and Ben run to a new spot and start the game again. They have fun playing hide and seek in the park. +Sara loves to print pictures of princesses. She has many colors to make them pretty. She likes pink, purple, yellow and blue. She prints them on big paper and hangs them on her wall. + +One day, her brother Ben comes to her room. He sees her pictures and says they are dull. He says princesses are boring and silly. He likes cars and trucks and planes. He takes her colors and prints his own pictures on her paper. He makes them black, brown, gray and green. He hangs them over her pictures and laughs. + +Sara is very sad and angry. She tells Ben to stop and give her back her colors. He says no and runs away. She cries and tries to take off his pictures. They are stuck and rip her pictures. She cries louder and louder. + +Mom hears her cry and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the mess and asks what happened. Sara tells her what Ben did. Mom is not happy. She calls Ben and tells him to come back. He comes back and looks scared. Mom tells him he was very bad and rude. She tells him to say sorry to Sara and help her fix her pictures. She tells him to share his colors and paper and let Sara print what she likes. + +Ben says sorry to Sara. He feels bad for making her cry. He helps her take off his pictures and gives her back her colors. He finds some new paper and lets her print more princesses. He even prints one with her and says she is a nice princess. Sara smiles and thanks him. She prints one with him and says he is a good brother. They hug and hang their pictures together. Mom smiles and says they are both sweet. She gives them a hug and a kiss. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to roll down the hill and laugh. They saw a big pile of leaves and ran to it. They wanted to jump in the leaves and hide. + +But when they got to the pile, they saw something scary. It was a skeleton! It had no skin or hair or eyes. It had only bones. The skeleton was lying on the leaves. It looked like it was sleeping. + +Lily and Ben were very afraid. They screamed and ran away. But the skeleton heard them. It woke up and saw them. It was confused. It did not know who they were or where it was. It wanted to talk to them. + +"Hey, wait!" the skeleton said. "Don't be scared. I'm friendly. Who are you? Where am I?" + +But Lily and Ben did not hear the skeleton. They did not want to talk to it. They wanted to get away from it. They ran to the gate of the park. They hoped to find their mom and dad. + +But the gate was locked. They could not get out. They looked back and saw the skeleton. It was coming after them. It was fast. It wanted to catch them. + +"Help! Help!" Lily and Ben cried. "There's a skeleton! It's chasing us! Let us out!" + +But no one heard them. No one came to help them. The skeleton reached them and grabbed them. It smiled with its teeth. It was hungry. It wanted to eat them. + +The end. +Lily liked to play soccer with her friends. She was good at kicking the ball and running fast. She wanted to win a trophy like her big brother. He had a shiny trophy on his shelf that he got from his soccer team.

She admired her trophy and smiled. She was happy. +One day, Tom and Anna went to the farm with their mom. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. They also saw a big machine that made milk into butter. Mom said, "Butter is good for bread and cake, but you have to keep it in a cold place, or it will melt and go bad." + +Tom and Anna wanted to try the butter, so mom gave them each a small piece. They liked it very much, it was soft and yellow and tasty. They asked mom if they could have more, but mom said, "No, you have to share with the others. There is not enough butter for everyone. If you are greedy, you will not have any friends." + +Tom and Anna did not listen to mom. They saw a big jar of butter on a shelf, and they sneaked to get it. They hid behind a hay stack and ate the butter with their fingers. They ate and ate, until they felt sick. They also felt very hot, because the sun was shining on them.

She said, "I am sorry, farmer, I will pay for the butter. And I will teach these children a lesson. They have to learn to be honest and generous, not selfish and greedy." + +Tom and Anna felt very sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom, we are sorry, farmer. We were wrong, we should have listened to you. We did not keep the butter in a cold place, we wasted it and made a mess. We did not share with the others, we were hard and mean. Please forgive us, we will not do it again." Mom and the farmer forgave them, but they had to clean up the butter and help on the farm. They also had to apologize to the other children and give them some of their toys. They learned their lesson, and they never stole butter again. +Ben and Mia like to play with hoops in the park.

She sees a big dog running towards them. The dog is wet and dirty. It likes to play in the puddle too. It barks and runs to Ben. + +Ben is surprised. He does not like the dog. He says, "Go away, dog!

She made snowmen, snowballs, and snow angels. She liked to give her snowmen hats and scarves and buttons.

Instead, there was a puddle of water and a rainbow. + +Sara gasped. "What happened to my stone?" she asked. Mom and dad looked puzzled. Grandma smiled and winked. She said, "It was a magic stone, indeed. It was a snowflake, my dear. A very big and beautiful snowflake. But snowflakes melt when they get warm. That's why they are so precious. They only last for a moment, but they make the world bright and happy. Just like you, Sara. You are my precious snowflake." + +Sara hugged grandma and said, "I love you, grandma. You are my magic."

They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go and look," Lily said. + +"OK, but be quiet. Maybe it is a surprise for us," Tom said. + +They crawled under the fence and ran to the box. They lifted the lid and peeked inside. They saw a lot of old clothes and rags. They were disappointed. + +"This is not a surprise. This is garbage," Lily said. + +"Maybe there is something else under the rags," Tom said. He reached his hand into the box and felt something soft and furry.

Can we still be friends?" + +Tom looked at her. He saw that she was sorry. He said, "OK, Lily. We can still be friends. But next time, let's not look in the box.

She thinks they are cool and interesting. She does not want to turn off the video. + +"But Ben, snakes are not scary and bad. They are just different. They have no legs, but they can move and climb.

He does not want to watch the video. He wants to go home. He runs out of the room. + +Lily is alone. She feels sorry and angry. She does not understand why Ben does not like snakes.

But Ben and Lily were not sleepy. They wanted to keep playing. + +"Let's play hide and seek," Ben whispered to Lily. "You count to ten and I'll hide." + +"Okay," Lily said. She closed her eyes and started to count. Ben quickly climbed down the ladder and hid under the bed. + +"Ten!" Lily shouted. She opened her eyes and looked around. She saw Ben's feet sticking out from under the bed. She smiled and tiptoed to the bed. She was about to say "I found you!" when she heard a loud thud. + +Ben had bumped his head on the bed frame. He cried out in pain and crawled out from under the bed. He rubbed his head and glared at Lily. + +"That's not fair!" he said. "You cheated! You saw my feet!" + +"I did not cheat!" Lily said. "You hid in a bad place! You should have been more careful!" + +They started to argue and yell at each other. They did not hear their mom coming up the stairs.

Follow me. I'll show you some cool things in the pond." + +Ben followed Fred to the pond. They played and talked and laughed. They became good friends. They learned a lot from each other. They had a great time. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big hole in the ground. It is deep and dark. + +"Let's see what is in the hole," Lily says. She has a flashlight. She gives it to Ben. Ben holds the flashlight and looks in the hole. + +"I see something shiny," Ben says. He reaches in the hole and pulls out a pack of gum. "Wow, gum! Do you want some, Lily?" + +"Yes, please," Lily says. Ben gives her a piece of gum. They both chew the gum and blow bubbles. + +The gum is sweet and minty. They like the gum. They are happy. They thank the hole for the gum. Then they go back to playing in the park. +Lily and Sam went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But Lily and Sam liked the seals the best. The seals were big and gray, and they had funny noses and whiskers. They could swim fast and jump high in the water. + +The zookeeper came to feed the seals. He had a big bucket of fish. The seals were very hungry. They wanted the fish. They made loud noises with their mouths. They shouted "Arf! Arf! Arf!" Lily and Sam laughed. They thought the seals were funny. + +Lily and Sam wanted to feed the seals too. They asked Mom and Dad if they could. Mom and Dad said yes, but they had to be careful. The zookeeper gave them some fish. Lily and Sam held the fish in their hands. They threw the fish to the seals. The seals caught the fish and ate them. They shouted "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Lily and Sam smiled. They were happy. They liked the seals. +Anna and Ben are friends who live on a farm. They like to help the farmer with his animals and plants. One day, they see the farmer fixing his tractor. He is holding a big tool and a small part. + +"Hello, farmer," Anna says. "What are you doing?" + +"Hello, Anna and Ben," the farmer says. "I am replacing a part of my tractor. It is broken and I need a new one." + +"Can we help you?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, you can help me," the farmer says. "You are very intelligent and curious. You can hold this tool for me and watch how I replace the part." + +Anna and Ben are happy to help the farmer. They hold the tool and watch him carefully. They see how he takes out the broken part and puts in the new one. They hear how the tractor makes a different sound. + +"Wow, you did it!" Anna says. + +"Yes, I did," the farmer says. "Thank you for your help. You are very good helpers. Do you want to ride the tractor with me?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben says. + +The farmer smiles and lifts them up to the tractor. They sit next to him and feel the wind in their hair. They see the animals and the plants on the farm. They are having fun and learning new things. They are glad to be friends with the farmer. +Lily liked to polish her horse. She had a soft cloth and a shiny bottle. She rubbed the cloth on the horse's fur and made it smooth and bright. She also brushed the horse's mane and tail and gave it a carrot. + +One day, Lily wanted to polish her horse, but it was difficult. The horse was in the barn and it did not want to come out. It made a loud noise and kicked the door. Lily was scared and ran to her mom. + +"Mom, mom, the horse is angry!" Lily cried. "I want to polish it, but it won't let me!" + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. The horse is not angry, it is just cold. It likes to stay in the barn when it is cold. Why don't we wait until it is warmer and then we can polish it together?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Can I give it a carrot now?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Sure, you can. But be careful and gentle. The horse will like that." + +Lily and mom went to the barn and Lily gave the horse a carrot. The horse ate it and nuzzled Lily's hand. Lily felt happy and said, "I love you, horse. You are so soft and shiny. I will polish you later, when it is not cold." +Tom and Anna like to play in the garden. They have a big box of toys and they make up stories with them. One day, they find a carrot in the dirt. It is orange and long and smells good. + +"Look, a carrot!" Tom says. "Let's pretend it is a magic wand." + +"OK!" Anna says. "What can we do with it?" + +They wave the carrot around and say funny words. They pretend to turn the flowers into animals, and the rocks into cakes, and the clouds into balloons. They are very creative and have a lot of fun. + +But then, something strange happens. The carrot starts to glow and grow. It gets bigger and bigger, until it is as big as Tom and Anna. They are amazed and scared. + +"Wow, it really is a magic wand!" Tom says. + +"Maybe we should stop playing with it," Anna says. + +But before they can put the carrot down, it lifts them up in the air. It flies them over the garden, over the house, over the street. They see cars and people and trees and birds. They feel the wind and the sun on their faces. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Anna shout. "We want to go back!" + +The carrot hears them and stops flying. It gently lowers them to the ground, near their house. It shrinks back to its normal size and stops glowing. It looks like a normal carrot again. + +Tom and Anna run to their parents and hug them. They tell them what happened with the carrot. Their parents are surprised and don't believe them. They think they made up the story. + +But Tom and Anna know it is true. They look at the carrot and smile. They decide to keep it as a souvenir of their adventure. They put it in their toy box and promise to never play with it again. They learned their lesson: be careful with magic carrots. +Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. They see a big red car on the road. The car is very fast. It makes a loud noise. Ben and Lily want to see the car better. + +"Look, Lily, a red car!" Ben says. "It is so fast and loud!" + +"Let's go closer, Ben!" Lily says. "Maybe we can touch it!" + +They run to the road. They do not see the green light. They do not hear the horn. They do not stop. + +The car does not see them. The car does not slow down. The car does not stop. + +There is a big crash. The car hits Ben and Lily. They fly in the air. They fall on the ground. They do not move. They do not talk. They do not breathe. + +People scream. People cry. People call the telephone. The telephone is for help. The help is too late. + +Ben and Lily are gone. The car is gone. The park is quiet. The end. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They are very happy and warm in the sun. + +"Look, Lily, I have a wallet!" Ben says. He shows Lily a blue wallet with a star on it. He opens it and takes out a card. "This is my mom's card. She says it is for buying things." + +Lily is curious. She wants to see the card. "Can I hold it, Ben?" she asks. + +"Okay, but be careful. Don't lose it," Ben says. He gives Lily the card. Lily looks at it. It has numbers and letters on it. She does not know what they mean. + +"Let's play store, Ben," Lily says. "I can buy something from you with this card." + +"Okay, what do you want to buy?" Ben asks. + +Lily thinks. She sees a flower on the ground. She picks it up. "I want to buy this flower, Ben. How much is it?" + +Ben thinks. He does not know how much a flower costs. He makes up a number. "It is five dollars, Lily." + +Lily nods. She gives Ben the card. "Here you go, Ben. Thank you for the flower." + +Ben takes the card. He puts it back in the wallet. He smiles. "You're welcome, Lily. The flower is very pretty. It matches your dress." + +Lily and Ben hug. They are happy. They have a new game to play. They include the wallet and the card in their game. They pretend to buy and sell many things. They have fun in the park. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, they see a big pot on the stove. It smells good. + +"What is in the pot?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's look," Ben says. + +They walk to the stove. They stand on their toes. They try to lift the lid. + +"Ouch!" Lily cries. "The pot is hot!" + +Ben drops the lid. It makes a loud noise. Mom comes in. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They know they did something bad. + +"We wanted to see what is in the pot," Lily says. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Ben says. + +Mom is angry, but she is also glad they are not hurt. + +"You should never touch the stove. It is very dangerous. You could get burned," Mom says. + +She hugs them and kisses their hands. + +"Thank you for being honest. Honesty is good. But next time, ask me first. OK?" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They say sorry again. They promise to be careful. + +Mom smiles. She takes the pot off the stove. She tells them it is soup. She gives them a bowl each. They eat the soup. It is yummy. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They were very competitive and always tried to win at games. One day, they saw a big hill with many flowers on it. It was spring and the flowers smelled nice. + +"Let's race to the top of the hill!" Ben said. "The first one to get there is the best!" + +"Okay!" Lily said. "But I will win, because I am faster than you!" + +They ran as fast as they could, but the hill was steep and they got tired. They stopped to catch their breath and looked around. They saw a rabbit hiding under a bush. It had long ears and a fluffy tail. + +"Look, a rabbit!" Lily whispered. "It is so cute!" + +"Shh, don't scare it!" Ben whispered. "Maybe we can pet it!" + +They walked slowly and quietly towards the rabbit. They reached out their hands and touched its fur. It was soft and warm. The rabbit looked at them with big eyes and twitched its nose. + +"Hello, rabbit!" Ben and Lily said softly. "We are Ben and Lily. Do you want to be our friend?" + +The rabbit nodded and hopped closer to them. It licked their fingers and snuggled against them. Ben and Lily smiled and hugged the rabbit. They forgot about the race and the hill. They only cared about their new friend. + +The end. +Lily was a naughty girl. She did not listen to her mom and dad. She did not share her toys with her brother. She did not say sorry when she hurt someone. She did not clean her room or do her homework. She only wanted to play and watch TV. + +One day, Lily got sick. She had a fever and a sore throat. She could not play or watch TV. She had to stay in bed and drink soup. She felt very sad and bored. She wished she had been nicer to everyone. + +Her mom and dad came to see her. They brought her a book and a teddy bear. They said, "We love you, Lily. We hope you get better soon. But you also need to improve your behavior. You need to be kind and respectful and helpful. That will make you and everyone else happy." + +Lily looked at her mom and dad. She felt sorry for being naughty. She said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I love you too. I want to improve. I want to be a good girl. Will you help me?" + +Her mom and dad smiled and hugged her. They said, "Of course we will help you, Lily. We are proud of you for wanting to improve. You have a good spirit in you. You just need to show it more often." + +Lily felt warm and happy. She hugged her book and her teddy bear. She decided to improve her behavior and show her good spirit. She knew it would make her and everyone else happy. She also knew it would make her mom and dad proud. She fell asleep with a smile on her face. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would throw it, catch it, roll it, and bounce it. They had so much fun with their ball. + +One evening, their mom said, "It's time to go inside and have dinner. Put your toys away, please." Anna and Ben nodded and ran to get their ball. But when they reached the spot where they left it, they saw nothing. The ball was gone. It had vanished. + +"Where is our ball?" Anna asked, looking around. + +"I don't know," Ben said, feeling sad. "Maybe someone took it." + +They searched for their ball, but they could not find it. They asked their mom, their dad, and their dog, but no one knew where it was. They had to go inside without their ball. They ate their dinner, but they did not smile. They missed their ball. + +After dinner, their dad said, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me." He led them to the garage and opened the door. There, on a shelf, was their ball. It was shiny and clean, and it had a big bow on it. + +"Your ball was very dirty and old, so I washed it and fixed it for you," their dad said. "It's like a new ball, but it's still your original ball. I hope you like it." + +Anna and Ben were so happy. They hugged their dad and thanked him. They took their ball and ran outside to play. They threw it, caught it, roll it, and bounced it. They had so much fun with their ball. They never let it vanish again. +Jen and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It is bright and shiny. Jen and Sam want to go on the slide. + +"Can we go on the slide, please?" Jen asks her mom. + +"Sure, but first you need to put on some lotion. The sun is very hot today. You don't want to get a burn," her mom says. + +She gives Jen and Sam some lotion. They rub it on their arms and legs and faces. The lotion smells good. It makes their skin soft. + +"Okay, now you can go on the slide. Be careful and have fun," her mom says. + +Jen and Sam run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They go fast and feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream. They have a lot of fun. + +When they are done, they run back to their mom. They hug her and say thank you. + +"You're welcome, my sweeties. You did a great job on the slide. I'm proud of you," she says. + +She claps her hands and smiles. Jen and Sam clap their hands too. They are happy. They love their mom and the slide. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with rocks. They had a big pile of rocks in their backyard, and they would throw them, stack them, and make shapes with them. One day, they found a shiny rock that looked like a trophy. It was round and smooth and had a star on it. + +"Wow, look at this rock!" Tim said. "It is the best rock ever! I want to keep it!" + +"No, I saw it first!" Sam said. "It is mine! Give it to me!" + +They both grabbed the rock and pulled hard. They did not want to share. They started to yell and fight. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. + +Suddenly, the rock broke in half. It was not a real trophy. It was just a toy that someone had thrown away. It was made of plastic and had a sticker on it. The brothers stared at the broken pieces in their hands. They felt sad and angry. + +They had ruined their rock trophy. They had hurt each other. They had missed their lunch. They had been very silly and greedy. They wished they had been more kind and ordinary. +Sara and Tom were playing on the sand. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They saw some shells and stones that were shiny and pretty. They put them in their buckets. + +"Look, Tom, what is that?" Sara said, pointing to something on the shore. It was big and brown and furry. It had four legs and a long tail. It was sleeping on the sand. + +"I don't know, Sara. Maybe it is a dog. But it is very big. And it has stripes," Tom said. He was curious and scared. He wanted to touch it, but he also wanted to run away. + +They walked slowly to the furry thing. They were very quiet. They did not want to wake it up. They came closer and closer. They saw its ears and nose and teeth. It was not a dog. It was a tiger! + +The tiger opened its eyes. It saw Sara and Tom. It roared very loud. It was angry and hungry. It wanted to eat them. + +Sara and Tom screamed. They dropped their buckets. They ran away from the shore. They ran to their mom and dad. They told them what they saw. They were very scared. + +Mom and dad hugged them. They were very glad. They told them they were brave. They told them they were lucky. They told them they had discovered a tiger. They told them tigers did not belong on the shore. They told them they would call the zoo. They told them they would never forget their adventure. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the gym. The gym has many toys and balls and mats. Tim and Sam want to organize the gym. They want to make it neat and fun. + +They start to move the toys and balls and mats. They put them in different places. They make piles and rows and shapes. They talk to each other. + +"Look, Sam, I made a tower with the balls!" Tim says. + +"That's interesting, Tim. I made a bridge with the mats!" Sam says. + +They are happy. They keep organizing the gym. + +But then, the teacher comes. She is angry. She sees the gym. She sees the toys and balls and mats. She sees the mess. + +"What are you doing, Tim and Sam?" she asks. "You are not organizing the gym. You are making a big mess. You are not following the rules. You are not being good." + +Tim and Sam are scared. They are sad. They did not mean to make a mess. They did not know the rules. They wanted to organize the gym. + +The teacher makes them clean up the gym. She makes them put the toys and balls and mats back where they belong. She makes them say sorry. She makes them sit in the corner. + +Tim and Sam are not happy. They are not friends. They are not playing. They are not organizing. They are in trouble. The end. +Lily liked to jog with her dad in the park. They jogged fast and slow, up and down, and around the trees. Lily felt happy and strong when she jogged. + +One day, they met a boy named Sam in the park. He was sitting on a bench with a book. He looked sad and bored. + +"Hi, I'm Lily and this is my dad. We like to jog. Do you want to jog with us?" Lily asked Sam. + +"No, thank you. I have to do math. Math is hard and not fun. I don't like math," Sam said. + +Lily's dad smiled and said, "Math is useful and fun. You can use math to count, to measure, to compare, and to solve problems. Math is like a game. Do you like games?" + +Sam nodded. He liked games. + +"Then let me show you a math game. You can jog and do math at the same time. It's easy and fun. Do you want to try?" Lily's dad asked. + +Sam nodded again. He wanted to try. + +"Okay, let's go. We will jog to that tree and back. But before we jog, we have to do some math. How many fingers do you have?" Lily's dad asked. + +Sam held up his hands and said, "Ten." + +"Good. Now, how many fingers do I have?" Lily's dad asked. + +Sam looked at Lily's dad's hands and said, "Ten, too." + +"Right. And how many fingers does Lily have?" Lily's dad asked. + +Sam looked at Lily's hands and said, "Ten, also." + +"Very good. Now, how many fingers do we have all together?" Lily's dad asked. + +Sam thought for a moment and said, "Thirty." + +"Excellent. You are good at math. Now, let's jog to the tree and back. And as we jog, we will count by tens. Ready, set, go!" Lily's dad said. + +They jogged to the tree and back, counting by tens. "Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, one hundred!" they shouted. + +They stopped and high-fived each other. Sam smiled and said, "That was fun. I like math. Can we do it again?" + +Lily and her dad nodded. They liked math, too. They jogged and did math until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to Sam and invited him to jog and do math with them again. Sam agreed. He had made new friends and learned something useful and fun. He was happy. +Ben and Lily liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and a big mattress to jump on. Sometimes they played pretend games, like pirates or doctors or spies. One day, they decided to play spies and hide from their mom. + +They took some pillows and blankets and made a fort under the mattress. They crawled inside and whispered to each other. They felt very clever and sneaky. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not see their mom coming into their room. + +Their mom saw the mattress on the floor and the pillows and blankets around it. She thought they had made a mess and left. She was not happy. She picked up the mattress and put it back on the bed. She took the pillows and blankets and put them in the closet. She did not know Ben and Lily were under the mattress. She locked the closet door and went to the kitchen. + +Ben and Lily heard a loud noise and felt the mattress move. They were scared. They tried to get out, but they could not. They pushed and kicked and shouted, but no one heard them. They were trapped in the closet. They felt very foolish and sorry. They wished they had listened to their mom and come for lunch. They hoped their mom would come back and find them soon. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the yard. Tim has a red motorcycle that makes loud noises. Sam has a blue ball that bounces high. + +One day, Tim and Sam are playing in the yard. Tim rides his motorcycle around the grass. Sam throws his ball in the air and catches it. Tim sees Sam's ball and wants to play with it. + +"Give me your ball, Sam!" Tim says. He stops his motorcycle and reaches for the ball. + +"No, Tim! It's my ball!" Sam says. He holds the ball tight and runs away. + +Tim gets angry. He chases Sam with his motorcycle. He tries to grab the ball from Sam's hands. Sam dodges Tim and runs to the fence. + +"Stop, Tim! You have your motorcycle!" Sam says. He throws the ball over the fence. + +Tim stops his motorcycle and looks at the ball. The ball lands in the neighbor's yard. The neighbor has a big dog. The dog sees the ball and runs to it. The dog picks up the ball in its mouth and growls. + +"Uh-oh," Tim and Sam say. They are scared of the dog. + +The neighbor comes out of his house. He sees the dog and the ball. He sees Tim and Sam and their motorcycle. + +"Hey, kids! What are you doing?" the neighbor says. He is not happy. + +"Sorry, mister. We were playing with our ball and it went over the fence," Sam says. + +"Well, you can't play with my dog's ball. It's his ball now. And you can't ride your motorcycle in my yard. It's too noisy and it hurts the grass," the neighbor says. + +He takes the ball from the dog and gives it to Sam. He tells Tim and Sam to go back to their yard and be quiet. + +Tim and Sam are sad. They lost their ball and their motorcycle. They go back to their yard and sit on the porch. + +"Sorry, Tim. I didn't mean to throw the ball over the fence," Sam says. + +"It's okay, Sam. I'm sorry I tried to take your ball. It was not nice," Tim says. + +They hug and say they are sorry. They are hungry and thirsty. They go inside the house and ask their mom for a snack. + +Their mom gives them some crackers and juice. She also gives them some salsa to dip the crackers in. + +"Be careful, boys. The salsa is spicy. It might make your mouth hot," their mom says. + +Tim and Sam dip their crackers in the salsa. They take a bite and make a face. + +"Wow, this is spicy!" Tim says. + +"Yeah, it's spicy!" Sam says. + +They drink their juice and laugh. They like the spicy salsa. They are happy again. They thank their mom and go back to the porch. + +They decide to play with their other toys. They share and take turns. They have fun and forget about the ball and the motorcycle. They are good brothers. The end. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. They run to the swing. + +"Can I go first?" Lily asks. + +"OK, but only for a little bit," Sam says. + +Lily climbs on the swing. She holds the ropes tight. Sam pushes her. Lily feels happy. She swings high and low. She laughs. + +"Wow, you are so good at swinging!" Sam says. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend," Lily says. + +Lily swings for a while. Then she stops. She jumps off the swing. + +"Your turn, Sam," she says. + +Sam smiles. He climbs on the swing. Lily pushes him. Sam feels happy. He swings high and low. He laughs. + +They have fun on the swing. They see a man with a cart. He has many glasses. The glasses have juice. The juice is green. + +"Look, Lily, green juice!" Sam says. + +"Let's go and get some," Lily says. + +They run to the man.

She asked her mom, "Mom, what is this bird?" + +Mom looked at the stamp and said, "That is a cardinal. It is a very pretty bird that lives in some parts of our country. It likes to sing and eat seeds." + +Lily wanted to see a cardinal. She asked her mom, "Can we go and look for a cardinal?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Maybe we can, but not today. It is too cold and rainy outside. We can look for a cardinal another day, when it is sunny and warm." + +Lily was sad. She wanted to see a cardinal today. She was persistent. She asked her mom again and again, "Can we go and look for a cardinal? Please, please, please?" + +Mom said, "No, Lily, we cannot go today. It is not a good day to look for birds. We can do something else. We can read a book, or play a game, or draw a picture. What do you want to do?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked to read books, and play games, and draw pictures. But she liked to look at stamps more. She had an idea. She said, "Mom, can we make our own stamps?" + +Mom was surprised. She said, "Make our own stamps? How do we do that?" + +Lily said, "We can use paper, and scissors, and glue, and crayons. We can cut out shapes, and glue them on paper, and color them. We can make stamps of anything we want. We can make a stamp of a cardinal!" + +Mom liked Lily's idea. She said, "That sounds like fun. Let's make our own stamps. Maybe we can even send them to someone we love." + +Lily was happy. She said, "Yes, let's do that. Maybe we can send them to grandma and grandpa. They will like our stamps. And maybe they will see a cardinal and tell us about it." + +Mom and Lily went to get the paper, and scissors, and glue, and crayons. They made their own stamps. They had a lot of fun. They made stamps of a cardinal, and a flower, and a star, and a cat, and many other things. They put them in an envelope and wrote a letter to grandma and grandpa. They said they loved them and missed them and hoped to see them soon. They also asked them to look for a cardinal and tell them about it. + +They went to the mailbox and put the envelope inside. They hoped grandma and grandpa would get their letter and their stamps soon. They also hoped to see a cardinal someday. They went back home and hugged each other. They were happy. They liked to look at stamps. +Ben and Lily are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They share the blocks and have fun. + +But then, Ben sees a block that he wants. It is red and square and shiny. He thinks it is the best block ever. He reaches for it, but Lily grabs it first. She says, "This is my block. I saw it first. You have many other blocks." + +Ben is angry. He wants the red block. He does not want to share. He says, "No, it is my block. Give it to me. You are mean." He pulls the block from Lily's hand. Lily does not let go. They tug and tug and tug. + +Then, snap! The block breaks in half. Ben and Lily are shocked. They look at the broken block. They feel sad. They broke their favorite block. They wish they did not fight. + +They look at each other. They say, "I'm sorry. I was not good. I should have shared. Can we be friends again?"

They learned to be good and share. They have fun with their blocks. They have fun with their nose. They make funny faces and noises. They laugh and laugh and laugh.

He missed his home. He was lonely. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the yard. One day, they find a big box of junk. There are old toys, books, clothes and papers in the box. + +"Wow, look at all this junk!" Tom says. "Can we play with it?" + +"Sure, why not?" Sue says. "Maybe we can make something fun." + +They start to dig in the box. They find a broken car, a doll with no hair, a crayon and a notebook. They are very happy. + +"Look, I have a car!" Tom says. He tries to make it move, but it does not work. + +"I have a doll!" Sue says. She holds it in her arms, but it is dirty and torn. + +"Let's mark the notebook!" Tom says. He gives Sue the crayon. "We can draw pictures and write stories." + +"Good idea!" Sue says. She is enthusiastic. She opens the notebook and sees many blank pages. + +They start to mark the notebook. They draw the car, the doll, the junk and themselves. They write their names and some words they know. They make up stories about their junk. They have a lot of fun. + +They do not notice that it is getting dark. They are too busy marking the notebook. + +"Tom! Sue! Time to go home!" They hear their moms calling them. + +They look up and see their moms at the gate. They are worried. + +"Uh-oh, we are late!" Tom says. + +"Quick, let's pack up!" Sue says. + +They put the junk back in the box. They take the notebook and the crayon with them. They run to their moms. + +"Sorry, mom, we were playing with the junk," Tom says. + +"We were marking the notebook," Sue says. + +They show their moms their notebook. Their moms smile and hug them. + +"That's very creative, kids," their moms say. "But next time, don't stay out so late, okay?" + +"Okay, mom," Tom and Sue say. + +They say goodbye to each other and go home. They are happy. They have a new treasure: their marked notebook. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked the same ones. They both wanted the red car, the blue ball, and the yellow bear. They did not want to share. + +"Give me the car!" Sara said. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. + +They pulled and pushed and shouted. They made a big mess. They did not have fun. + +Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She told Sara and Ben to stop fighting and clean up. She said it was their task to put the toys back in the box. + +Sara and Ben did not want to do the task. They still wanted the toys. They pouted and whined. + +Mom said, "If you don't do the task, you can't play with the toys anymore. You have to be compassionate and share with each other. Compassionate means you care about how someone else feels. How would you feel if someone took your toy?" + +Sara and Ben thought about it. They did not like it when someone took their toy. They felt sad and angry. They did not want to make each other feel that way. + +They said sorry to each other. They decided to share the toys. They did the task and put the toys back in the box. They thanked Mom for teaching them to be compassionate. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I'm proud of you. You did a good job. You can play with the toys again, but remember to be compassionate and share." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They played with the toys again, but this time they took turns and said please and thank you. They had fun. They learned to be compassionate. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to climb on the big slide and swing on the ropes. They saw a big crane near the fence. It was yellow and had a long arm. + +"Look, a crane!" Tom said. "Let's go see it!" + +Lila followed Tom to the fence. They saw the crane lifting some wood and metal. They heard a loud noise. + +"Bang!" The crane dropped something. It was a big box. It broke open and spilled some fruit. + +"Wow, fruit!" Lila said. "Can we have some?" + +Tom ran to the box. He picked up an apple. It was brown and soft. He smelled it. It was bad. + +"Yuck, this fruit is rot!" Tom said. He threw the apple away. + +Lila picked up a banana. It was black and mushy. She touched it. It was slimy. + +"Ew, this fruit is rot too!" Lila said. She dropped the banana. + +They looked at the other fruit. They were all rot. They had flies and worms on them. + +"Let's go away from here!" Tom said. "This fruit is not lovely. It is gross!" + +Lila and Tom ran back to the slide and the ropes. They played there until their mom came to get them. + +They told their mom about the crane and the rot fruit. Their mom said they did the right thing to stay away from the rot fruit. She said rot fruit can make them sick. + +She gave them some fresh fruit from her bag. It was red and green and yellow. It was sweet and juicy. + +"This fruit is lovely!" Lila and Tom said. They ate the fruit and smiled. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide on the big slide. They take turns and laugh. But then it starts to rain. The slide becomes wet and slippery. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Ben says. "The slide is slippery now. You might slip and fall." + +"I know, Ben. But I like to slide. It is fun!" Lily says. She runs to the slide and climbs up. She sits on the top and smiles. + +"Ready, set, go!" she shouts. She pushes herself down the slide. But she slides too fast. She cannot stop. She slips off the end of the slide and lands on the grass. + +"Ouch!" she cries. She feels a pain in her knee. She has a scratch. She starts to cry. + +Ben runs to her. He sees her scratch. He feels sorry for her. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" he asks. He hugs her. + +"No, Ben. It hurts. I don't like to slide anymore." Lily says. She sniffs. + +Ben has an idea. He looks around. He sees a pretty flower. It is yellow and red. He picks it up. + +"Look, Lily. I have something for you. It is a pretty flower. It will make you feel better." he says. He gives her the flower. + +Lily looks at the flower. She sees the bright colors. She smiles. + +"Thank you, Ben. It is a pretty flower. It makes me feel better." she says. She holds the flower. + +Ben smiles too. He is happy that Lily is happy. + +"Come on, Lily. Let's go home. We can play something else. Maybe we can draw with crayons. Or we can read a book. Or we can play with our toys. What do you want to do?" he asks. + +Lily thinks. She has many things to do. She likes to draw. She likes to read. She likes to play. + +"I want to do everything, Ben. But first, I want to give you a hug. You are a good friend." she says. She hugs him. + +Ben hugs her back. He is a good friend too. + +They hold hands and walk home. They are happy. They like to play. They like to slide. But they like each other more. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a hill and a tree. In winter, the yard was white with snow and they could make snowmen and snowballs. They also liked to slide down the hill on their sleds. + +One day, they decided to have a race on their sleds. They both ran to the top of the hill and got ready. Lily had a red sled and Ben had a blue sled. They counted to three and pushed off. They zoomed down the hill, feeling the cold wind on their faces. + +Lily and Ben were very fast, but Ben was a little faster. He reached the bottom of the hill first and shouted, "I win!" Lily was not far behind. She stopped her sled and smiled. She was not sad that she lost. She was happy that she had fun. + +They both ran back to the top of the hill and hugged. They said, "That was a great race!" They decided to race again, but this time they switched sleds. They wanted to see if the sleds made a difference. + +They raced again and again, until they were tired and hungry. They had both won and lost some races, but they did not care. They had succeeded in having a long and fun winter day. They went inside and had hot chocolate and cookies with their mom. They told her about their races and how much they loved winter. Mom said, "I'm proud of you, Lily and Ben. You are good racers and good friends." Lily and Ben smiled and hugged mom. They were happy and warm. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tree with a red bird on it. The bird has a shiny ring on its leg. Lily and Ben want to see the ring. + +"Look, Ben, the bird has a ring. Maybe it is a symbol of something," Lily says. + +"What is a symbol?" Ben asks. + +"A symbol is a thing that means something else. Like a heart means love, or a star means wish," Lily explains. + +"Oh, I see. Maybe the ring means the bird is great, or belongs to someone great," Ben says. + +They go closer to the tree, but the bird flies away. They follow the bird to another tree, and then to a fence. The bird lands on the fence, but gets stuck in a wire. The bird tries to get free, but the wire hurts its wing. + +"Help, help!" the bird cries. + +Lily and Ben hear the bird. They run to the fence. They see the bird is in trouble. + +"Oh no, the bird is hurt. We have to save it," Lily says. + +"How can we save it? The wire is sharp and tight," Ben says. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She sees a stick on the ground. She picks it up. + +"Maybe we can use this stick to push the wire away. Be careful, Ben, don't touch the wire," Lily says. + +She gives the stick to Ben. Ben holds the stick and tries to move the wire. Lily reaches for the bird. She gently takes the ring off its leg. She holds the bird in her hands. + +"Shh, it's okay, bird. We are here to help you," Lily says. + +The bird stops crying. It looks at Lily and Ben with its bright eyes. It chirps softly. + +"Thank you, thank you," the bird says. + +Lily and Ben smile. They feel happy. They have saved the bird. + +"You are welcome, bird. You are great. And your ring is great, too. Here, you can have it back," Lily says. + +She puts the ring back on the bird's leg. The bird flaps its wings. It flies away from the fence. It circles in the air. It sings a beautiful song. + +"Goodbye, bird. We are glad you are free. We hope you are happy," Lily and Ben say. + +The bird nods. It flies away. It leaves a trail of feathers in the sky. The feathers are like a symbol of thanks and friendship. Lily and Ben watch the bird until it is out of sight. They hug each other. They have done a good thing. They are great, too. +Lily and Ben are at the beach with their mom and dad. They like to play in the sand and splash in the water. They see a big boat on the water. It has a big net and a big hook. + +"Look, mom, what is that boat doing?" Lily asks. + +"They are fishing, Lily. They are trying to catch some fish to eat or sell," mom says. + +"Can we go fishing too, mom?" Ben asks. + +"Maybe another day, Ben. Fishing is not easy. You need a lot of patience and skill," mom says. + +Lily and Ben watch the boat for a while. They see the boat pull up the net. There is something big and gray in the net. It has a long tail and a lot of teeth. + +"Wow, mom, what is that?" Lily asks. + +"That is a shark, Lily. A shark is a kind of fish, but a very big and dangerous one. It can bite and hurt people and other animals," mom says. + +"Is the shark dead, mom?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe it is, or maybe it is just very tired and scared. The boat will hang the shark on the hook and take it to the shore," mom says. + +Lily and Ben feel sorry for the shark. They think it is interesting, but they also think it is sad. They wish the shark could swim free in the water. They hope the shark is not in pain. They hug their mom and dad and say they love them. They decide they don't want to go fishing. They want to play and have fun with their family and friends. +Lily was a girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a rare doll that her grandma gave her. The doll had long hair, a pretty dress, and shiny shoes. Lily loved her doll very much and always kept her close. + +One morning, Lily woke up and saw that her doll was gone. She looked under her bed, in her closet, and in her toy box, but she could not find her doll. She felt sad and scared. She ran to her mom and dad and asked them, "Where is my doll? I want my doll!" + +Her mom and dad looked at each other and sighed. They knew what happened. The night before, they had a visitor who was very mean and greedy. He saw Lily's rare doll and wanted to have it for himself. He waited until Lily was asleep and then he took the doll and ran away. He did not care that Lily would miss her doll and cry. + +They did not want to tell Lily the truth, because they did not want to make her more upset. They tried to comfort her and said, "Maybe your doll is hiding somewhere. Let's look for her together. Maybe she will come back soon." + +But Lily did not believe them. She knew her doll would not hide from her or leave her. She felt angry and hurt. She said, "No, you are lying! You don't know where my doll is! You don't care about my doll! You don't love me!" + +She ran away from her mom and dad and locked herself in her room. She cried and cried and wished her doll would come back. She did not want to talk to anyone or play with anything. She only wanted her rare doll that her grandma gave her. She was very unhappy and lonely. The end. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, their mom gave them a big surprise. She brought home a chicken from the farm. The chicken was amazing. It had soft feathers, a red comb, and a loud cluck. + +"Can we keep it, mom?" Tim asked. + +"Yes, but you have to take good care of it. You have to feed it, give it water, and clean its coop. If you spoil it, it will get sick and unhappy," mom said. + +Tim and Sam agreed. They named the chicken Fluffy and gave it a cozy coop in the backyard. They fed it corn and lettuce, gave it fresh water, and cleaned its poop. They also played with Fluffy and gave it hugs. Fluffy was happy and healthy. + +One day, Tim and Sam went to the park with their dad. They left Fluffy in the coop with some food and water. They had fun at the park. They slid on the slide, swung on the swing, and ran on the grass. They forgot about Fluffy. + +When they came back, they saw Fluffy was not in the coop. They looked around and saw Fluffy in the garden. Fluffy had eaten all the flowers, the carrots, and the tomatoes. Fluffy had also dug holes and made a mess. Fluffy was not happy. Fluffy was sick. + +"Fluffy, what did you do?" Tim cried. + +"Cluck, cluck, cluck," Fluffy said. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We spoiled Fluffy. We left him alone and he ate too much. He's sick and unhappy," Sam said. + +Mom was not happy. She was angry. She took Fluffy to the vet. The vet gave Fluffy some medicine and told them to be more careful. Mom also told them to fix the garden and apologize to the neighbors. + +Tim and Sam learned their lesson. They never spoiled Fluffy again. They took good care of him and played with him. Fluffy was amazing. Fluffy was their friend. +Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play with toys and books. But one day, Sara found a new game. She said, "Tom, let's play a game. It is called taste and spell. I will give you something to taste, and you will tell me how to spell it." + +Tom was curious. He said, "OK, Sara, what do you have?" Sara smiled and took out a jar. She said, "This is honey. It is sweet and sticky. Taste it and spell it." + +Tom opened his mouth and Sara gave him a spoonful of honey. Tom liked it. He said, "Mmm, honey. H-O-N-E-Y. Honey." Sara clapped and said, "Good, Tom. You are smart. Now, I have something else. This is vinegar. It is sour and strong. Taste it and spell it." + +Tom was not sure. He said, "Sara, I don't like vinegar. It is yucky. Can we play something else?" Sara shook her head and said, "No, Tom. This is the game. You have to taste it and spell it. Or you are a baby." + +Tom did not want to be a baby. He said, "Fine, Sara. Give me the vinegar." Sara gave him a spoonful of vinegar. Tom tasted it and made a face. He said, "Eww, vinegar. V-I-N-E-G-A-R. Vinegar." Sara laughed and said, "Good, Tom. You are brave. Now, I have something else. This is pepper. It is hot and spicy. Taste it and spell it." + +Tom was scared. He said, "Sara, I don't want to taste pepper. It will hurt my tongue. Please, Sara, stop this game. It is boring and mean." Sara frowned and said, "No, Tom. This is the game. You have to taste it and spell it. Or you are a chicken." + +Tom did not want to be a chicken. He said, "OK, Sara. Give me the pepper." Sara gave him a spoonful of pepper. Tom tasted it and screamed. He said, "Ahh, pepper. P-E-P-P-E-R. Pepper." Sara giggled and said, "Good, Tom. You are funny. Now, I have something else. This is soap. It is clean and bubbly. Taste it and spell it." + +Tom was angry. He said, "Sara, I hate this game. You are a bad friend. You are making me sick. I don't want to taste soap. It is nasty and wrong." Sara said, "Too bad, Tom. This is the game. You have to taste it and spell it. Or you are a loser." + +Tom did not want to be a loser. He said, "Fine, Sara. Give me the soap." Sara gave him a spoonful of soap. Tom tasted it and choked. He said, "Blech, soap. S-O-A-P. Soap." Sara smiled and said, "Good, Tom. You are done. You are the best at taste and spell. You win." + +Tom did not feel like a winner. He felt like a fool. He spat out the soap and ran away. He said, "Sara, you are a bully. I don't want to play with you anymore. You are not my friend." Sara did not care. She said, "Bye, Tom. You are a sore loser. I don't need you. I have more things to taste and spell." She opened another jar and said, "This is mustard. It is yellow and tangy. Taste it and spell it." She put a spoonful in her mouth and said, "Mmm, mustard. M-U-S-T-A-R-D. Mustard." She did not notice that the mustard was expired and had mold on it. She did not notice that her tongue was turning green and her stomach was hurting. She did not notice that she was alone and no one liked her. She only noticed the taste and the spell. And she was happy. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for treasure and adventure. They saw a big stone wall with a door in it. They wondered what was behind it. + +"Let's go and see!" Lila said. "Maybe it is a temple with gold and jewels!" + +"OK, but be careful. It might be dangerous," Ben said. He was a little scared, but he did not want to show it. + +They pushed the door open and entered the temple. It was dark and dusty. They saw statues and paintings of strange animals and people. They also saw a big chest in the corner. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lila said. "Maybe that is where the treasure is!" + +She ran towards the chest, but she was clumsy. She tripped over a rope and pulled it. The rope was connected to a trap. A loud noise sounded and a net fell from the ceiling, trapping Lila inside. + +"Help, help!" Lila cried. "Get me out of here!" + +Ben heard her and ran to help her. He tried to lift the net, but it was too heavy. He looked around and saw a pair of scissors on a table. He grabbed them and ran back to the net. He cut the net and freed Lila. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Lila said. She hugged Ben. "You are a hero!" + +They decided to leave the temple and go back to the garden. They had enough adventure for one day. They stretched their arms and legs and smiled at each other. They were happy to be safe and together. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big slide at the park. They ran to the slide and took turns to go down. They had a lot of fun. + +"Look, Ben, I can slide faster than you!" Lily said. + +"No, you can't, Lily, I can slide faster than you!" Ben said. + +They both slid down again and again, trying to beat each other. They did not notice that it was getting cold and dark. + +Soon, they felt cold and hungry. They looked around and saw that the park was empty. They did not see their mom or dad. + +"Where are mom and dad?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, Lily, maybe they forgot us," Ben said. + +They started to cry. They wished they had brought their sweaters and snacks. + +Then, they heard a familiar voice. + +"Ben, Lily, where are you?" It was their mom. She had been looking for them all over the park. + +"Mom, mom, we are here!" Ben and Lily shouted. + +Their mom ran to them and hugged them. She was worried and angry. + +"Ben, Lily, why did you stay so long on the slide? You know you have to come back when it gets cold and dark. You could have gotten sick or lost. You have to listen to me and follow the rules," she said. + +"Sorry, mom, we were having fun and we forgot," Ben and Lily said. + +Their mom gave them their sweaters and snacks. She told them to eat and warm up. She also told them that she loved them and that they had to be careful. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry and grateful. They learned that they had to pay attention to the time and the weather. They also learned that they had to respect their mom and her rules. They hugged their mom and said they loved her too. + +They ate their snacks and put on their sweaters. They felt better. They promised to be more responsible and obedient. They also thanked their mom for finding them and taking care of them. + +The end. +Lila and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Lila is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Ben runs to a big tree and covers himself with some leaves. He hopes Lila will not find him. + +Lila counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks around the park and tries to find Ben. She sees a swing, a slide, a bench, and a bird, but no Ben. She wonders where he is. + +She walks to the big tree and hears a noise. She thinks it is a squirrel, but then she sees a foot sticking out of the leaves. She smiles and says, "I found you, Ben!" + +Ben is surprised and says, "Oh no, you did!" He comes out of the leaves and says, "You are very good at seeking, Lila. How did you find me?" + +Lila says, "I saw your foot. You should cover it better next time. It was your turn to hide, and now it is my turn to seek. You are lucky I did not find you sooner." + +Ben says, "OK, you can seek now. But I will find a better hiding spot. You will not find me so easily." + +Lila says, "We will see about that. I will count to ten and then I will look for you. Ready, set, go!" + +Ben runs to find a new hiding spot and Lila starts counting. They are having fun playing hide and seek in the park. +Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going to visit the zoo with Mom and Dad. They liked to see the animals and hear their sounds. + +"Look, Ben, there is a big lion!" Anna said, pointing to the cage. "He has a lot of hair and sharp teeth. He can roar very loud." + +"Wow, he is scary!" Ben said, holding Mom's hand. "But he is also pretty. I like his yellow and brown colors." + +They walked around the zoo and saw many other animals. They saw monkeys, elephants, giraffes, penguins, and more. They learned their names and what they ate. They had fun watching them play and move. + +But then they saw something strange. There was a cage with a sign that said "dragon". Inside the cage, there was a big green thing with wings and scales. It looked like a dragon, but it did not move or make any sound. + +"Mom, Dad, what is that?" Anna asked, curious. + +"That is a fake dragon, Anna," Mom said, smiling. "It is not a real animal. It is made of plastic and metal. Someone put it here to make people laugh." + +"A fake dragon?" Ben said, confused. "Why would someone do that? That is silly." + +"I don't know, Ben," Dad said, shrugging. "Maybe they wanted to make the zoo more fun. Or maybe they wanted to trick people. But we know better, right? We know that dragons are not real." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They did not like the fake dragon. They liked the real animals better. They decided to leave the cage and go see the bears. They hoped the bears were not fake too. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pretty skirt that was pink and white. Lily liked to dress Anna and comb her hair. + +One day, Lily was playing with Anna in her room. She wanted to make Anna dance. She held Anna by her legs and swung her around. But Lily was not careful. She swung Anna too hard and too fast. Anna's skirt got caught on the bedpost and ripped. Lily heard a loud sound and stopped. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Anna's skirt is broken! Mommy, mommy, help!" + +Lily's mommy heard Lily and came to her room. She saw Lily holding Anna and the torn skirt. + +"What happened, Lily?" Mommy asked. + +"I was playing with Anna and I broke her skirt. I'm sorry, mommy. I didn't mean to." Lily said. + +Mommy hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. Accidents happen. You didn't break Anna, only her skirt. We can fix it. Do you want to help me?" + +"Yes, mommy. I want to help." Lily said. + +Mommy took Lily and Anna to the kitchen. She found some thread and a needle. She showed Lily how to sew the skirt back together. Lily tried to follow mommy's instructions. She was not very good at sewing, but she was strong and brave. She did not cry when she poked her finger with the needle. She was proud of herself. + +"Look, mommy. I fixed Anna's skirt. It's not broken anymore." Lily said. + +"Good job, Lily. You did very well. Anna's skirt looks beautiful. I'm sure she's happy too." Mommy said. + +Lily smiled and hugged Anna. She thanked mommy for helping her. She learned a new skill and a new word. She learned how to sew and how to say "fix". She was happy. She went back to her room and played with Anna. She was careful not to break her skirt again. +Anna liked to bake with her mom. They made cakes and pies and cookies. Anna liked to mix the flour and the eggs and the sugar. She liked to smell the yummy things in the oven. She liked to eat them too. + +One day, Anna and her mom went to the farm. They wanted to get some milk and butter and cheese. They saw many animals at the farm. They saw cows and sheep and chickens and pigs. They also saw a big bull. The bull was black and brown and had horns. He looked angry. + +"Mom, can we bake something for the bull?" Anna asked. "Maybe he is hungry and sad." + +"Sure, honey, that's very kind of you," her mom said. "But we have to be careful. The bull is not very friendly. He might chase us or hurt us. We have to stay away from him." + +Anna and her mom baked a big cake for the bull. They put carrots and apples and oats in it. They thought the bull would like it. They put the cake in a basket and went to the farm again. They saw the bull in a field. He was eating grass. + +"Hello, bull," Anna said. "We made you a cake. Do you want some?" + +The bull looked at Anna and her mom. He saw the cake in the basket. He smelled the carrots and apples and oats. He liked them. He wanted the cake. He ran towards Anna and her mom. + +"Run, Anna, run!" her mom shouted. "The bull is coming!" + +Anna and her mom ran away from the bull. They ran to the fence. They climbed over the fence. They were safe. The bull reached the basket. He ate the cake. He liked it. He was happy. + +"Wow, that was scary," Anna said. "But I'm glad the bull liked our cake." + +"Me too, honey," her mom said. "But next time, let's bake something for a silly pig. They are nicer and funnier." +Molly and Tom were very excited to go to the park. Tom said to Molly, "Let's play tag!" + +Molly disagreed and said, "Let's get some muffins first!" + +Tom thought for a moment, but then said, "OK, I'm grateful that we can get to yummy muffins first!" + +So they went to the bakery. Molly bought a blueberry muffin and Tom bought a chocolate one. + +They each took a huge bite and smiled. + +Suddenly, Tom said, "Let's still play tag!" + +Molly disagreed, but then said, "OK, I'm grateful that we can still have fun!" + +So they skipped off to the park to play their game. +One day a little girl named Lucy walked into the kitchen and saw a shelf. She started looking at all of the things that were on the shelf. She saw harmless spiders, which made her a bit scared. + +Lucy's mom walked in and saw her looking at the spiders. She said, "Don't worry, Lucy, the spiders are harmless!" + +Lucy smiled. She said, "OK!" + +Then something strange happened. The spiders started to move around and soon they had formed a long line. Lucy was so amazed at what was happening that she couldn't look away. + +The spiders slowly disappeared, and Lucy just stood there, still in amazement. + +"See, Lucy," her mom said, "Nothing bad happened. The spiders were harmless!" +John and his mom were at the grocery store. John wanted to pick out some sauce, but his mom said he had to get something else. + +Mom: "John, you need to choose something else. Look at this one," she said, pointing to a jar of sauce. + +John: "It's too expensive. Can I have the sauce, please?" + +Mom: "No, John. That sauce is too expensive. We need to leave now." + +John was disappointed, but he followed his mom out of the store. As they were walking away, John saw a jar of sauce in the window. It wasn't too expensive, and it had a picture of a big delicious sandwich on it. + +John: "Mom, can I please get that sauce?" + +Mom smiled. "Yes, John. That sauce is just right. Let's get it." + +John was so happy! He couldn't wait to get the sauce home and try it. From then on, he made sure to always choose the less expensive sauce for his sandwiches. +A little girl went for a walk. She saw a mule in the field. She said: "Hello mule". The mule didn't answer. She said "Let's play". The mule kept standing still. + +It was a hot day and the girl was tired. The girl closed her eyes and waited for the mule. Suddenly the mule started to move. The mule came close to the girl. + +The girl was happy. She laughed and the mule started to run. The mule ran around the girl with its tail and ears waving in the air. The girl laughed and shouted "Faster! Faster!". + +The girl felt the wind in her face as the mule ran faster and faster. Eventually the mule stopped, exhausted and hot. The girl thanked the mule and said "That was fun!" +Once upon a time there lived a family in a big house. They had a big silver dog called Lucy.

Laura wanted to create something special with the rope. But it seemed hard as Danny kept getting in the way. + +"Danny, let me create something special!" Laura said. + +"But why?" Danny asked impatiently. + +"Because I want to show how special this rope is. I want to make a pretty knot, and you can help me," said Laura in a calm, stubborn voice. + +Danny was still a bit grumpy, but eventually he decided to help. He held one end of the rope while Laura wrapped and twisted until she created a perfect little knot.

Whenever I try to do something or smile, the shield stops me." + +The rabbit thought for a moment and then said, "Is it because you regret something?" + +The bear thought again and had a sudden realisation. + +"Yes!" he shouted, "I regret not listening to my friends and family. I should have accepted their help." + +The bear was no longer sad and the shield that bounded him slowly fell away. + +The moral of the story is to never regret feeling helpless.

You can't bite it either." + +The little girl frowned and said, "But why?" + +Mommy hugged her and said, "Because it's not nice to bite things like apples and cloth.

Why is it rotting?" + +The mountain replied in a low, gentle voice: "Well Jane, trees do age naturally, just like people and animals. When they become old and their bark is dry, they rot." + +Jane was curious, so she asked the mountain: "What can I do to make sure my trees don't rot like that? Is there something I can do?" + +The mountain replied: "Yes, Jane. You can take care of your trees by giving them lots of water and light.

Every day, the father and mother had to work hard to survive. + +One day, the youngest member of the family, a 3-year-old boy, asked his father why they had to struggle so much. His father thought for a moment and then told him, "We have to work hard to value what we have." + +The boy asked, "What is value?". His father smiled and replied, "Value is something that you can't get from poor things. Value is something that is special and makes each thing worthy of love and care." + +The boy nodded and from that day, he understood his father's words. He valued their stable home and the love that his family shared. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lucy. She was three years old and she loved playing with her friends. + +One day, while they were playing in the park, they heard a weird sound. It seemed to come from a cup sitting in the grass nearby. + +"What is that?" Lucy asked her friends. They all shrugged and wondered what it was. + +"Let's call it," said one of her friends. So they all reached out and touched the cup. +"Hello?" Lucy called, but no one answered. + +So they each took a turn calling out. Lucy shouted, "Can anyone hear us?" + +Suddenly, the cup started to move and shake! Lucy and her friends gasped. They were all very scared, but very curious. + +So Lucy took a deep breath, reached out and touched the cup again. To their surprise, the cup spoke back. + +"Hi there!" said the cup. + +Lucy and her friends couldn't believe their ears. It was so weird and unexpected! +Once upon a time, there lived a sleepy bird who loved to find a good nest every day. One morning, however, the bird wanted to do something naughty; it wanted to sleep in! It thought to itself, "I don't feel like finding a nest today - I just want to stay here and sleep!" + +The bird shut its eyes and snuggled down, but then it heard a loud "No!" It opened its eyes to see a bigger bird looking down at it. + +The bigger bird said, "It's not nice to be naughty, little one. You need to find a nest or you won't be safe. You must find a nest each day and rest - that's how it should be!" + +The sleepy bird nodded and flew away in search of a nest. It found a cozy spot and snuggled in. The bird fell asleep feeling safe and secure, with the bigger bird's words of wisdom ringing in its ears. +Billy was a 3 year old who liked to play. Today, he was in the park with his mom.

He wanted to kick it, but he stopped himself. + +Billy: "Mommy, can I kick the red ball?" + +Mommy: "No Billy, I'm afraid you'll rip your new blue pants. We don't want that to happen." + +Billy began to get upset. He wanted to kick the ball more than anything. He also didn't want to rip his pants. He thought for a little while, and then he had an idea. He turned to his mom and put on a big smile. + +Billy: "Mommy, can I kick the blue ball instead?" + +Mommy: "Yes Billy, kicking the blue ball is a much better idea!" + +Billy was so happy. He ran over to the blue ball and gave it a huge kick. It flew into the air and landed perfectly in a near by tree. He was so proud of himself!

He wanted to practice, so he could show his mom and dad. + +Suddenly, he saw a sign in the grass. It was a weird sign. Harry was very curious and wanted to look closer. He stopped balancing and hopped off the tree trunk. He went over to the sign and noticed some strange words. + +"What does this mean?" Harry asked himself. He couldn't make any sense of the writing. It looked like a secret code he had to figure out. + +Harry didn't give up. He kept trying to make sense of the sign until one day he finally cracked it. It read, "Keep balancing and you will learn to fly." + +Harry smiled. He couldn't believe it! He got up and hopped back on the tree trunk. He tried imitating the movements of a bird, and with each practice, he became better and better. + +Soon enough, he was able to balance on the tree trunk without falling over. He felt so proud and happy. + +Harry grinned and declared, "I can balance, and soon I'll be able to fly!" +Molly and Andy were very excited. Today they were going to have a picnic.

One day, he decided to take a seat in his boat and head out on the lake. + +Suddenly, a strong wind blew and the sail started flapping frantically. The old man shouted to the wind, "Please stop! I need to get back safely!" But the wind would not stop. Instead, it grew stronger and stronger, swiftly carrying the old man farther away from shore. + +The old man called out to the wind in despair, "Please stop! I'm scared!"

They had been best friends since they were babies and they would always do fun things together. One day, they were playing in the garden and they wanted to search for something fun to do. Suddenly, Jack had an idea. + +'Let's pretend we're pirates!' said Jack. 'That sounds fun!' said Jill. + +So they both pretended to be pirates, swinging sticks like swords and sailing across the grass. The game was great, until Jack said that pirates don't cry. Jill felt sad and starting weeping. Jack felt bad. + +'Why are you weeping, Jill?' he asked. + +'I wanted to be a real pirate and go on adventures,' she said. + +Jack felt even worse now and came up with a plan.

His mom was puzzled and said, "I'm not sure, Jack. Let's go and find out." + +So Jack held onto his mom's hand and they walked closer. It was a big pole with all sorts of furry things around it. Jack asked, "What do all these hairy things do?" His mom replied, "Let's find out. Maybe if we reverse the pole, we can find out what happens." + +So together they went around the pole and started to carefully reverse it. While they did this, Jack watched as all the furry things started to spin around. They spun so fast that Jack could barely see. Then suddenly they stopped and Jack saw a big surprise. There were little toy animals flying around the pole! + +Jack was ecstatic and started jumping around with joy. He said, "Mommy, thank you so much! I love this!" His mom smiled at him and said, "You're welcome Jack. Now let's have fun and play with the furry pole!" +Mia was three and feeling brave. She looked around the room, and then spotted a big bookshelf. She wanted to get closer to it and see what was on it.

"Remember how your uncle Tony fell off the bookshelf when he was little?" + +Mia took a deep breath and nodded. She leaned forward a bit more and finally reached it. "It's easy," she said with surprise. + +Mia then looked at the books she could see. Most of them were too big and high for her, but she could reach one.
