He's very shy and he doesn't like being disturbed.' + +'But I want to say hello!' + +'No, it's not a good idea. We would have to be very quiet and wait until he comes out. Will you do that?' + +The little girl huffed and nodded, but she was determined to say hello to the elf. So, when the coast was clear, she tiptoed into the other room and tried to open the door to the green cabinet. But it was locked! + +'Why can't I come in?' the girl asked, disappointed. + +'The elf needs his privacy,' explained mummy.

The sunflower looked sad without them. + +Tommy was disappointed, but Rebecca smiled and said, "Don't worry, Tommy.

They walked towards the nest. + +But then they heard a loud squawk. A big bird flew over their heads. It was the mother bird. She was angry. She wanted to protect her eggs. She flapped her wings and pecked at Tom and Lily. They were scared. They ran back to the elevator. They pressed the button with a star again. The elevator went down and down and down. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They should not bother the bird and her eggs. They should respect the roof and the plants and the flowers. They should be kind to all living things. They said sorry to the mother bird in their hearts. They hoped she would have peaceful babies soon. +Ben and Mia were going to the beach with Mom and Dad. They were very happy. They had a big bag with swimsuits, towels, hats, and toys.

They ran to the water and splashed each other. They laughed and had fun. + +Then they saw a big boat. It was white and blue, and had a flag. It was taking people to the reef. The reef was a place where there were many fish and corals of different colors. Ben and Mia wanted to go to the reef too. + +They asked Mom and Dad if they could go. Mom and Dad said yes, but they had to wear life jackets and stay close to them. They agreed and got on the boat. The boat was fast and made a loud noise. They saw the water change from light blue to dark blue. + +They reached the reef and got off the boat. They put on masks and snorkels, and followed Mom and Dad into the water. They saw many fish and corals. They saw a yellow fish, a blue fish, a striped fish, and a big fish. They saw a pink coral, a purple coral, a green coral, and a spiky coral.

It was a crab. It was red and had claws. It was hiding under the rock. It saw the starfish too. + +The crab wanted to eat the starfish. It came out of the rock and grabbed the starfish with its claws. The starfish was scared and tried to get away. Ben and Mia were scared too. They did not want the crab to hurt the starfish. + +But the starfish was clever. It had a trick. It let go of one of its arms. The crab thought it had the starfish, but it only had the arm.

You have to turn off the machine and go back to bed." + +"But mom, we want to play with the robot. It is fun. It is our friend." Lily says. + +"No, Lily. The robot is not your friend. It is a machine. It is not alive. It does not care about you. It only makes noise and light. It is bad for your eyes and ears. You have to turn it off and go back to bed." dad says. + +Tom and Lily are sad. They do not understand why mom and dad are so mean. They like the robot. They think it is alive. They think it cares about them. They do not want to turn it off and go back to bed. + +They look at the robot. It is white and shiny. It makes beep-beep and flash-flash. It seems to smile at them.

They want to go on the boat and see what is inside. They ask their mom if they can go. + +Mom says no. She says the boat is too far and the tide is too high. She says the tide can move the boat and make it go away. She says the tide can also make the water come up and cover the sand. She says they have to stay on the shore and be safe. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They want to see the boat. They think it is fun and exciting. They do not want to stay on the shore and be bored. + +But mom is right. The tide is high and the water comes up. It covers their sand castles and their holes. It takes away their shells and their crabs. It reaches the boat and makes it move. The boat goes away and they cannot see it anymore. + +Anna and Ben are sleepy. They have played a lot and they are tired. They lie down on a towel and close their eyes. Mom puts a blanket on them and kisses them.

I found it first." They start to pull the tube. They are angry. They do not share. The tube breaks. The yellow paint spills on the floor. It makes a dirty mess. Sara and Ben are sad. They cry. + +Mom hears them cry. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken tube and the dirty floor. She is not happy. She says, "Sara and Ben, what did you do?

He went to the living room, where his dad was watching TV. He said, "Look, dad, I have a tie! Do I look famous?" + +His dad smiled and said, "You look very handsome, Tim. But you know, being famous is not just about how you look. It's also about what you do and how you treat others. Do you want to know what makes someone famous?" + +Tim nodded and said, "Yes, dad, tell me!" + +His dad said, "Well, some people are famous because they have a special talent, like singing or dancing. They practice a lot and share their talent with others. Some people are famous because they help others, like doctors or teachers. They work hard and care about others. Some people are famous because they are brave, like firefighters or astronauts. They face dangers and explore new things. But you know what? All these people have something in common. They all wipe their noses, brush their teeth, and say please and thank you. They are all human, just like you and me." + +Tim listened and thought. He said, "I see, dad. So being famous is not just about having a tie. It's also about doing good things and being nice. I want to do that too!" + +His dad hugged him and said, "I'm proud of you, Tim. You are already famous in my heart." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play dress-up. They had many clothes and hats and shoes in their closet. They also had many hangers to hang their clothes on. Sometimes they used the hangers to make funny shapes or pretend they were swords. + +One day, they were bored and had nothing to do. They looked at their closet and saw the hangers. They had an idea. They decided to act like they were in a circus. They took the hangers and bent them into hoops and rings. They threw them in the air and caught them. They put them on their heads and arms and legs. They made noises like animals and clowns. + +They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. But they did not notice that they were making a big mess. They left the hangers all over the floor and the bed and the sofa.

They said sorry to their mom and helped her clean up the mess. They also said sorry to each other and hugged. They learned that acting can be fun, but they should not break things or make a mess. They also learned that they should respect their things and their mom. They decided to be more careful and responsible next time. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll that she loved very much. Ben had a small car that he liked to zoom around. They were having fun until Ben saw Lily's doll and wanted to play with it. + +"Can I have your doll, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"No, it's mine. You have your car," Lily said. + +"But I want the doll. It's so pretty and soft," Ben said. + +He tried to grab the doll from Lily, but she held it tight. They started to pull and tug on the doll, making it cry. + +"Stop it, Ben! You're hurting my doll!" Lily shouted. + +"Give it to me, Lily! It's my turn!" Ben yelled. + +They pulled harder and harder, until the doll's arm ripped off. Lily and Ben gasped. They looked at the broken doll and then at each other. They felt very bad. + +Lily started to weep. She hugged the doll's body and the arm. She was very sad. Ben felt sorry for Lily. He knew he had been mean and greedy. He wanted to make her feel better. + +He gave her his car and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break your doll. You can have my car. It's very fast and fun." + +Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was generous. He was giving her his favorite toy. She stopped weeping and wiped her tears. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben.

Six spoons!" He counts the slices of butter. He says, "One, two, three, four. Four slices!" + +Mom is proud of Ben. She says, "You are a good helper, Ben. You can count very well." She puts the eggs, the flour, the sugar, and the butter in a big bowl. She says, "Now we need to mix them together. Do you want to use the mixer?" Ben nods. He likes the mixer. It is a big machine that makes a loud noise. It has a long stick with a round thing at the end. Mom plugs the mixer into the wall. She holds the bowl with one hand and the mixer with the other. She says, "Are you ready, Ben?" Ben says, "Yes, Mom!" Mom turns on the mixer. It goes vroom, vroom, vroom. The round thing spins fast. It makes the eggs, the flour, the sugar, and the butter into a smooth batter. Ben watches with big eyes. He says, "Wow, Mom! The mixer is amazing!" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, it is. It makes our cake batter nice and smooth. Now we need to put it in a pan and bake it in the oven. Then we can eat it with some ice cream. Do you like cake, Ben?" Ben says, "Yes, Mom! I love cake!" He gives Mom a hug. He says, "Thank you, Mom. You are a good baker. And I am a smart boy. I can count and I can use the mixer!" Mom says, "You are very welcome, Ben. You are a smart boy and a sweet boy. I love you very much." They hug and kiss. Then they go to the oven to bake the cake. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a brown wallet on the bench. Anna picks it up and looks inside. She sees some money and a card with a picture of a man. + +"Look, Ben, I found a wallet!" Anna says. + +"Wow, Anna, that's cool! Can we keep it?" Ben asks. + +"No, Ben, that's not nice. The wallet belongs to someone else. Maybe they are looking for it. We should bring it to the park lady. She can help us find the owner," Anna says. + +"Okay, Anna, you are right. Let's go to the park lady," Ben says. + +They run to the park lady, who is sitting at a table near the swings. She smiles when she sees them. + +"Hello, Anna and Ben. What do you have there?" she asks. + +"Hello, park lady. We found this brown wallet on the bench. We want to give it back to the owner. Can you help us?" Anna says. + +"That's very kind of you, Anna and Ben. You are good children. Let me see the wallet. Hmm, I think I know who this is. This is Mr. Lee. He works at the library. He must have dropped his wallet when he came to read some books to the kids. I have his phone number. I will call him and tell him you found his wallet. He will be very happy and grateful," the park lady says. + +"Thank you, park lady. We are glad we could help," Anna and Ben say. + +The park lady calls Mr. Lee and tells him the good news.

She liked to hear the birds that sang in the trees. + +One day, Sara saw a new rose that was white. It was very pretty and had a sweet smell. Sara wanted to pick it and give it to her mom. She reached out her hand to touch the rose. But she did not see the thorn that was on the stem. The thorn pricked her finger and made it hurt. Sara cried out loud and dropped the rose. + +Mom heard Sara's cry and ran to her. She saw the blood on Sara's finger and the white rose on the ground. She hugged Sara and said, "I'm sorry, my dear. The rose seemed nice, but it had a sharp thorn. Let me clean your finger and put a band-aid on it. Then we can find another rose for you." + +Mom took Sara to the house and washed her finger with clear water. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. She said, "There, now it will feel better. Do you want to go back to the garden and pick another rose?" + +Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, mom. I want to pick a yellow rose. It is bright and happy like the sun. And it does not have a thorn." Mom smiled and said, "That's a good choice, Sara. Let's go and find a yellow rose for you." They walked back to the garden, holding hands. Sara was happy again. She loved her mom and the roses. +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. Sometimes they saw birds and bugs and other animals.

They saw bright flashes like fire. It was lightning. They felt water falling on their heads. It was rain. They ran inside the house and looked out the window. + +"Wow, nature is harsh today," Tom said. + +"What does harsh mean?" Anna asked. + +"It means not nice, not gentle, not friendly," Tom explained. + +"Why is nature harsh?" Anna wondered. + +"Sometimes nature is harsh because it has to change and grow and make things new. Sometimes nature is harsh because it is angry or sad or scared. Sometimes nature is harsh because it just is," Tom said. + +"Do you remember when nature was nice?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, I remember. I remember when we saw the rainbow after the rain. I remember when we picked the apples from the tree. I remember when we made a snowman in the winter. I remember when we smelled the roses in the spring. I remember when we chased the butterflies in the summer. I remember when we jumped in the leaves in the fall. Nature is nice too," Tom said. + +"I remember too. I like nature when it is nice. But I also like nature when it is harsh. Because nature is always amazing and beautiful and alive. And because we have each other to play with and to keep warm and to be brave," Anna said. + +They hugged each other and smiled. They watched the storm pass by and waited for the sun to come out again. They loved nature and nature loved them. +Mira liked to play the flute. She had a shiny flute that made pretty sounds. She learned to play the flute from her mama, who was very good at it. Mira wanted to be good too, so she practiced every day. + +One day, Mira went to the park with her mama and her flute. She saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to join them, but she did not want to leave her flute.

She put her flute in her pocket and sat on a swing. She pushed herself with her feet and went higher and higher. She felt happy and free. + +But then, she saw a boy who was watching her. He had a mean look on his face. He walked up to her and said, "Hey, what's that in your pocket? Is it a toy?" + +Mira felt scared. She said, "No, it's not a toy. It's my flute. It's mine. Go away." + +The boy did not go away. He grabbed her pocket and pulled hard. He ripped her pocket and took out her flute. He laughed and said, "It is a toy. A silly toy. I want it. You are a spoiled girl. You don't need it." + +Mira cried and shouted, "Give it back! Give it back! It's not a toy. It's my flute. It's special. Mama gave it to me. Give it back!" + +The boy did not listen. He ran away with her flute. He leaned on a tree and tried to blow into it. He did not make any sounds. He got angry and threw the flute on the ground. He stomped on it and broke it into pieces. He said, "This toy is no fun. It's broken. I don't want it." + +Mira saw what he did. She ran to the tree and picked up the pieces of her flute. She sobbed and hugged them. She said, "My flute. My flute. You broke my flute. You are a bad boy. You are a bad boy." + +Her mama heard her cry and came to her. She saw the broken flute and the mean boy. She said, "Oh, Mira. I'm so sorry. That boy was very rude and mean. He should not have done that. He should say sorry." + +But the boy did not say sorry. He ran away to another part of the park. He did not care about Mira or her flute. He only cared about himself. + +Mira and her mama went home. Mira was very sad. She could not play her flute anymore. She could not make pretty sounds anymore. She missed her flute. She wished the boy had not taken it and broken it. She wished he had been nice and shared.

This is the best steak ever!" She took a big bite and chewed hard. But then, she felt something strange in her mouth. It was a bone! + +Lily tried to spit out the bone, but it was stuck in her throat. She could not breathe or talk. She started to panic and blink her eyes fast. She looked at her mom and tried to ask for help, but no sound came out. + +Her mom saw that Lily was in trouble and ran to her. She hugged her and hit her back gently. The bone came out of Lily's mouth and fell on the floor. Lily gasped for air and cried. Her mom hugged her and said, "Are you okay, Lily? I'm so sorry, I did not see the bone in the steak. You have to be careful when you eat steak, and chew slowly. And you should also eat other foods, like vegetables and fruits. They are good for you and have no bones." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was greedy and did not listen to you. I will try other foods and eat steak less. Thank you for saving me, mom. I love you." She hugged her mom and smiled. She learned a lesson that day: steak is not the only food, and eating too much of it can be dangerous. She decided to be more open-minded and healthy. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to go on trips with Mom and Dad. They have a big car with many things inside.

The horse eats them and makes a happy sound. + +"Thank you, horse. You are so kind and playful. Can we ride you?" Max asks. + +The horse shakes its head. It is not ready to let Lily and Max ride it. It is too fast and too strong for them. They are too small and too young. They might fall and get hurt. + +"Sorry, kids. The horse is not for riding. Maybe when you are older and bigger. But you can watch it run and jump. It is very fun and exciting." Dad says. + +Lily and Max understand. They are not sad or angry. They are still happy and playful. They wave goodbye to the horse.

"I wish we could go closer and touch it!" + +"Maybe we can make a wish on it," Ben said. "They say comets can make your wishes come true." + +"Really?" Lila said. "What would you wish for?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He wanted to wish for something good and nice. He looked at Lila and said, "I wish we could always be friends and play together." + +Lila smiled and said, "That's a good wish. I wish the same thing." + +They held hands and closed their eyes. They wished hard on the comet and hoped it would hear them. + +But they didn't notice that someone else was watching them from the window. It was Mr. Jones, their grumpy neighbor. He didn't like children or noise or fun. He hated the snow and the comet and the wishes. He was very angry and mean. + +He opened the window and shouted, "Hey, you two! Stop making noise and get off my lawn! You're ruining my view of the comet!" + +Lila and Ben opened their eyes and saw Mr. Jones. They were scared and sad. They didn't want to make him mad, but they didn't want to leave either. + +"Sorry, Mr. Jones," Lila said. "We were just looking at the comet and making a wish." + +"Well, I wish you would go away and leave me alone!" Mr. Jones said. He picked up a snowball and threw it at them. + +But he missed.

Maybe it is a fire helicopter or a rescue helicopter. They are very brave and kind." + +Ben wants to see the helicopter closer. He runs after it, holding his toy. He does not see where he is going. He trips over a rock and falls down. He scrapes his knee and drops his toy. He cries and says, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +His mom runs to him and picks him up. She hugs him and says, "It's okay, Ben, it's okay. You are not hurt badly. Let me see your knee." She wipes his tears and kisses his knee. She says, "There, all better. Where is your toy helicopter?" + +Ben looks around and sees his toy helicopter on the ground. It is broken. One of the blades is snapped off. He cries again and says, "My helicopter, my helicopter! It is broken!" + +His mom says, "Oh, no, I'm sorry, Ben. Your helicopter is broken. But don't worry, we can fix it. We can glue the blade back on. It will be as good as new.

She sees food that looks strange and colorful. She sees a plate with a round thing and a stick. She asks her dad, "What is that?" + +Her dad says, "That is a sushi. It is raw fish and rice. You can dip it in sauce. Do you want to try it?" + +Sara shakes her head. She does not like fish. She does not like sauce. She does not like raw. She says, "No, thank you. I want something else." + +Her dad says, "Okay, let's see what else they have." They look at the menu. They see pictures of food. They see pizza, pasta, salad, burger, fries, and ice cream.

He worked hard and made a stack that was taller than his chair. He was very proud of his tower and showed it to Max. Max looked at the tower and then at Sam. He seemed to say, "That is a nice tower, but can I play with it?" + +Sam said, "No, Max, this is my tower. You can't knock it down. You can play with this ball instead." He gave Max a ball to roll and chase. Max liked the ball, but he also liked the tower. He waited until Sam was not looking and then jumped on the tower. The tower fell down with a loud crash.

They all smiled. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a creek that ran through it. Sometimes they saw fish and frogs in the creek. They wanted to catch them, but their mom said no. She said the creek was too deep and dirty for them. + +One day, Sara and Ben were bored. They had no toys or games to play with. They looked at the creek and thought it looked fun. They decided to sneak out and go to the creek. They did not tell their mom. They were very naughty. + +They ran to the creek and saw a big log that crossed it. They thought it would be fun to walk on the log. Sara went first. She was brave and impatient.

He ran to the edge of the creek and called her name. He was scared and worried. He saw Sara come up from the water. She was wet and cold and crying. She had a cut on her knee. She was suffering. + +Their mom heard Ben scream and ran to the creek. She saw Sara and Ben and was angry and sad. She pulled Sara out of the creek and hugged her. She scolded Ben for not watching his sister. She took them back to the house and cleaned Sara's wound. She gave them both a time out. She said they were very lucky they did not drown. She said they should never go to the creek again without her. She said they should always listen to her. She said she loved them. + +Sara and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry to their mom and to each other. They learned their lesson. They never went to the creek again without their mom. They played with their toys and games instead. They were good and happy. +Ben and Lily liked to help their mom cook. They would wash the fruits, stir the soup, and cut the cheese. But sometimes they would fight over who got to do what. Mom would tell them to share and be nice, but they did not listen. + +One day, they were making a cake for dad's birthday. Ben wanted to crack the eggs, and Lily wanted to pour the milk.

He said they had made a nice cake. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing and being nice is better than fighting and making a mess. +Anna was a big girl. She had a new bed in her room. She did not sleep in her crib anymore. She gave her crib to her baby brother, Sam. Sam was very small and liked to sleep in the crib. + +One night, Anna heard Sam cry. She got out of her bed and went to his room. She saw Sam in his crib. He was sad and scared. He wanted his mommy. + +"Sam, don't cry," Anna said. "I am here. I am your big sister.

They think it is funny. + +They show their mom their line of toys. They say they are organized. They say they used the tie to unite their toys. Their mom looks at them. She does not know whether to laugh or to be angry. She sees that they tried to be creative. She also sees that they still made a mess. + +She tells them that they have to put their toys in the right places. She says that the tie is not for toys. She says that the tie is for dad. She helps them to untie their toys and to sort them. She shows them how to be organized. She says that they can play with the tie later, but only with dad. Tom and Anna say sorry to their mom. They say they love her. They hug her. They are happy. +Lily was playing with her doll in the garden. She liked to make her doll wear pretty dresses and hats. She saw a big hole in the fence. She wanted to see what was on the other side. She left her doll on the grass and went to the hole. + +She pushed her head through the hole and saw a big road. There were many cars and trucks and buses. They made loud noises and went very fast. Lily was curious. She wanted to cross the road and see more. She did not see the sign that said "Stop". She did not hear her mom calling her name. + +She entered the road and ran. She did not look left or right. A black car saw her and tried to stop. But it was too late. The car hit Lily and made her fly in the air. She fell on the ground and did not move. She had blood on her face and legs. She had a big hurt on her head. + +The driver of the car got out and ran to Lily. He was very sorry and scared. He called for help. He tried to put a bandage on Lily's head. But it did not help.

She tried to take off the necklace, but it was too tight. She pulled and pulled, but it did not come off. She started to cry. + +Her mom came into her room and saw what happened. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, why did you take my necklace? It is not yours. It is very special to me. It was a gift from your grandma. You should not touch things that are not yours. You could have broken it or lost it. That is not nice." + +Lily felt very sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to be pretty and proud like you. I did not know it was special. Please, help me take it off." + +Her mom sighed and hugged her. She said, "Lily, you are always pretty and proud to me. You do not need jewelry to be that. You just need to be yourself. And you need to be respectful and honest. That is what makes you special. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too. Now, let's go and put the necklace back where it belongs. And next time, if you want to play with my jewelry, just ask me first. OK?" + +Lily said, "OK, mom. Thank you." + +They went back to the dresser and put the necklace back. Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned to respect other people's things and to be happy with who she was. She did not need jewelry to be pretty and proud. She just needed to be Lily. +Lily likes to observe things. She likes to see what people and animals do. She likes to learn new words and colors. She likes to ask questions. + +One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom.

They are lively and happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in their room. They have a lot of toys, but they want to do something new. They see Mom's scissors on the table. They know scissors are for cutting, but they are not sure what to cut. + +"Let's cut some paper," Anna whispers to Ben. She thinks whispering is fun and makes them look serious. Ben nods and whispers back, "OK, but we have to be careful. Mom says scissors are sharp and can hurt us." + +They take the scissors and some paper and go to the corner of the room. They start to cut the paper into different shapes. They make a star, a heart, a circle, and a square. They are having fun and forget to whisper. + +"Look, I made a flower!" Anna says loudly. She holds up her paper flower and smiles. + +"Shh, you are too loud!" Ben says. He hears Mom coming up the stairs. He is afraid Mom will be angry and take away the scissors. + +He quickly hides the scissors under a pillow and the paper shapes under a blanket. He hopes Mom will not see them. + +Mom opens the door and sees Anna and Ben sitting on the floor. She smiles and says, "What are you two doing?" + +"Nothing, Mom," Anna and Ben say together. They try to look innocent, but they are not very good at it. + +Mom looks around the room and sees some paper bits on the carpet. She lifts the pillow and the blanket and finds the scissors and the paper shapes. + +She is not angry, but she is serious. She says, "Anna and Ben, you know you are not supposed to play with scissors. They are dangerous and can hurt you or the furniture. You could have asked me for some safe scissors and some paper. I would have been happy to help you." + +She takes the scissors and the paper and puts them away. She gives Anna and Ben a hug and says, "I love you, but you have to be careful and listen to me.

They said, "Tom, can we touch it? Can we try it on? Can we play with it?" Tom said, "No, this is mine. The king gave it to me. You cannot have it. Go away." + +His friends were angry and sad. They said, "Tom, you are mean and selfish. You do not share. You do not care about us. You only care about the king and the necklace. We do not want to be your friends anymore." They left Tom alone. + +Tom felt lonely and sorry. He realized he had made a mistake. He wanted his friends back. He took off the necklace and ran after them. He said, "Wait, I am sorry. I was wrong.

They ignored him and kept playing. Tom cried and cried. He had lost his friends because of the necklace. He wished he had never received it. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be greedy and selfish. Do not value things more than people. Do not lose your friends because of money. +Lily liked to record her voice with her mom's phone. She would sing songs, tell jokes, and make funny noises. She thought it was fun to hear herself and share with her mom. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the grocery store. Lily brought the phone with her and put it in her pocket.

She pressed the button and said, "Hello, this is Lily at the grocery store. I see..." + +But then, she saw something that made her scared. It was a big dog, with black fur and sharp teeth. It was barking loudly and pulling on its leash. Lily did not like dogs. She thought they were mean and scary. She dropped the phone and ran to her mom. She hugged her mom and said, "Mom, mom, there is a dog! It is scary! I don't like it!" + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "It's okay, Lily. The dog is not going to hurt you. It is just excited to see other people and animals. It is not mean or scary. It is just a dog. Do you want to pet it and say hello?" + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, no, I don't want to. I want to go home." + +Her mom said, "Okay, okay. We can go home. But first, let's get your phone. You don't want to lose it, do you?" + +Lily said, "No, I don't. But I don't want to go near the dog." + +Her mom said, "Don't worry, I will get it for you. You stay here and hold my hand. I will be right back." + +Her mom walked to where Lily dropped the phone. She picked it up and checked if it was still working. She saw that it was still recording. She smiled and said, "Hello, this is Lily's mom. I am sorry for the interruption. Lily saw a dog and got scared. But she is brave and smart. She loves to record her voice and share it with me. She is my best friend. I love her very much. Say bye, Lily." + +Lily said, "Bye, bye. Thank you for listening. I hope you are not scared of dogs. They are just dogs. Maybe I will like them someday. But not today. Today, I want to go home and listen to my voice. Bye, bye." +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play together. They also like to listen to music. Music makes them happy. + +One day, they find a big box near the park. The box has many things inside. Some things are old and broken. Some things are shiny and new. Ben and Lily are curious. They want to see what is in the box. + +They open the box and look inside. They see a toy car, a doll, a ball, a book, and a guitar. The guitar is old and has a hole in it. Ben and Lily do not know what a guitar is. They think it is a funny stick with strings. + +"Look at this!" Ben says. He picks up the guitar and shakes it. It makes a loud noise. "It is a noisy stick!" + +Lily laughs. She takes the guitar from Ben and holds it. She plucks the strings gently. It makes a soft sound. "It is not a noisy stick. It is music!" she says. + +Ben and Lily take turns playing with the guitar. They make different sounds. They sing along. They have fun. + +A man comes to the box. He looks sad and tired. He sees Ben and Lily with the guitar. He says, "Hey, that is mine!

They laugh and giggle. + +But the powder is not for cleaning. It is for making cakes. Mom and Dad use it when they bake. They hear Ben and Mia making noise.

They splash and play with their toys and their dog. They forget about the powder and the snow. They are clean and warm and cozy. They love their Mom and Dad. They say thank you and I love you. They are ready for bed. +Ben and Lily were playing in the hut they made with sticks and leaves. They liked the hut very much. It was their secret place in the woods. They had a lot of fun things in the hut, like a ball, a doll, a book and a flashlight. + +One day, a big dog came to the hut. He smelled the things in the hut and wanted to play with them. He pushed his way into the hut and started to bite and tear the things. He made a big mess. He also peed on the floor of the hut. It was disgusting. + +Ben and Lily heard the noise and ran to the hut. They saw the dog and the mess. They were very angry and sad. They shouted at the dog and threw sticks at him. The dog was scared and ran away. Ben and Lily tried to fix the hut and the things, but some of them were too broken. They cried and hugged each other. + +They remembered how they made the hut together and how much they loved it. They decided to make a new hut in a different place, where the dog could not find it.

He was a bad dog. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find bugs and rocks. Sometimes they found shiny things that made them happy. + +One day, they found a big rock that was different from the others. It was round and smooth and had many colors. They picked it up and looked at it. + +"Wow, this is a pretty rock!" Anna said. + +"Maybe it is a start," Ben said. "A start that fell from the sky." + +They took the rock to their tree house and put it on a shelf. They wanted to show it to their mom and dad later. + +That night, they heard a strange noise from the tree house. They got out of bed and went to see what it was. They saw the rock glowing in the dark. It was bright and beautiful. + +"Look, the start is glowing!" Anna said. + +"Maybe it is talking to us," Ben said. + +They got closer to the rock and listened. They heard a soft voice that they did not know. + +"Hello, little ones. I am not a start. I am a seed. A seed from an unknown world. I need your help to grow." + +Anna and Ben were surprised and curious. They wanted to help the seed. They asked it what it needed. + +"I need water and light and love," the seed said.

The pumpkin face was gone. + +Tom was sad. He cried and ran to his mom. She hugged him and told him what happened. She said pumpkins were alive and needed water and air.

He said he wanted to make a pumpkin face like the moon. His mom smiled and kissed him. She said he was not silly, he was curious and creative. She said she loved him and his pumpkin face.

Do you want to come with me?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Max. You are very kind." Max opened the cell and Lily hopped out. She followed Max to a hole in the wall.

His mom told him he had to wear a mask when he went outside, because there was a bad germ that could make him sick. But Tommy refused to wear a mask. He said it was too hot and itchy and he could not breathe well. + +One day, Tommy's mom took him to the park. She put a mask on him, but he took it off as soon as they got there. He ran to the swings and the slide and the sandbox. He had fun with the other kids, but he did not notice that some of them were coughing and sneezing. He did not know that they had the bad germ. + +The next day, Tommy felt very tired. He had a fever and a sore throat and a runny nose. He could not play with his toys or watch his favorite show.

She was wet and cold and scared. + +Her mother heard her cry and came to help her. She pulled Lily out of the pond and wrapped her in a towel. She said, "Lily, why did you go into the pond?

You should not try to catch things that do not belong to you." + +Lily felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, mother. I just wanted to play with the frog. I did not think it would be bad. I will not do it again. I will be careful and respect the animals." + +Her mother hugged her and said, "I'm glad you are sorry, Lily. I love you very much. You are my daughter and I want you to be happy and safe. But you also have to learn to be kind and wise.

Can we go home and have some hot chocolate?" + +Her mother smiled and said, "Yes, we can.
