She couldn't wait! +There was once a clever little girl called Amy. She liked to explore and was always curious to find out new things. + +One day, she found a bag of juice on the ground. She thought it looked tasty and decided to open it. + +When she did, the juice came gushing out, what a mess! She started to cry when she saw it had made a big puddle. + +But Amy was clever, so she thought of a way to fix the mess. She used her hands to tear some paper towels and carefully wiped up the juice. + +When she was finished, her mum said "Well done Amy! You thought of a clever way to fix the problem!" + +Amy smiled as she hugged her mum tightly. From then on, she was always very careful when opening juice! +Mum was making the bed. She put the sheet on and tried to tuck it in. "It won't go in," she grumbled. + +Little Toby was watching. He said, "Mum, let me try." + +Mum said, "No, Toby, it's too hard for you." + +But Toby was already pushing the sheet into place. He wanted to be helpful. He pushed and pushed until it was tidy. + +"There!" he said. + +Mum smiled. "Well done, Toby. You did a great job." + +Toby grinned and said, "I pushed it really hard." + +Mum hugged him. "You sure did, Toby. You did a great job of making the bed tidy." +A little girl named Sally was in the kitchen with her mom. Sally watched as her mom put ingredients in a big pot on the stove to cook. It smelled so good! + +"What are you cooking Mommy?" Sally asked. + +"I'm making soup for dinner," Mommy replied. + +Sally was excited. "Can I help?" + +Mommy smiled. "Sure! Why don't you put the carrots in the pot?" She handed Sally a bag of carrots. + +Sally carefully held the bag of carrots and tried to carry it to the pot. But when she got to the pot, the bag was broken and the carrots spilled out. + +"Oh no!" Sally said. + +Mommy quickly came to help. "It's ok, Sally. We can still use the carrots." She helped Sally pick up the carrots and put them in the pot. + +Sally was so happy. She helped her mom cook and now the soup smell even better! +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big fire in a house. They see smoke and flames. They are scared. + +"Who did this?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone was bad," Mia says. + +They run to the firemen. The firemen have hoses and trucks. They try to stop the fire. They are brave. + +"Did you see anyone near the house?" a fireman asks Tom and Mia. + +They shake their heads. They do not want to tell the truth. They feel guilty. + +They remember what happened. They were playing with matches. They wanted to change the color of the leaves. They did not know it was dangerous. They threw the matches on the ground. They did not see the fire start. They ran away. + +They are sorry. They want to say sorry. But they are afraid. They do not know what to do. They hug each other. They hope the firemen can save the house. They hope no one is hurt. They hope they can be good again. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom made some pastries for a party. She put them in a big tray and told Tom and Lily to watch them while she went to get some milk. + +"Don't touch the pastries, okay?" mom said. "They are very hot and rare. You can have one later, after the party." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom." They sat on the floor and played with their toys. But soon, they got bored and hungry. They looked at the pastries and saw that they were golden and sweet. + +"Maybe we can have one now," Tom said. "Mom won't know." + +Lily shook her head. "No, Tom. Mom said no. We have to wait." + +But Tom did not listen. He got up and reached for the tray. He grabbed a pastry and bit into it. It was very hot and burned his tongue. He dropped the pastry and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Tom said. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. "Tom, are you okay? I told you not to touch the pastry. You forgot what mom said." + +Mom heard Tom's cry and came back to the kitchen. She saw the pastry on the floor and Tom's red tongue. She was angry and sad. + +"Tom, what did you do?" mom said. "You disobeyed me and hurt yourself. And you wasted a rare pastry. How could you forget?" + +Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was hungry and curious. I won't do it again." + +Mom sighed and hugged Tom. She said, "I forgive you, Tom. But you have to be more careful and listen to me. And you can't have any pastry now. You have to wait until your tongue is better." + +Tom nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I love you." + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. And I love you, Tom. Even if you forget sometimes." +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found coins or buttons or keys. They put them in a small bucket and pretended they were treasure. + +One day, they found something very shiny and round. It was a copper ring. It had a green stone in the middle. Ben wanted to keep it. He said, "This is mine. It is the best thing we ever found." + +Lily was sad. She liked the ring too. She said, "No, it is not yours. It is ours. We found it together. We should share it." + +Ben was grumpy. He did not want to share. He said, "No, it is mine. I saw it first. Go away." + +Lily was angry. She did not like Ben's words. She said, "You are not nice. You are not my friend. Give me the ring." + +Ben and Lily started to pull the ring. They both wanted it. They did not see the old man who was sitting on a bench nearby. He was watching them. He had a long beard and a big hat. He looked like a wizard. + +The old man raised his hand and said, "Stop, children. You are making a mistake. That ring is not a toy. It is a magic ring. It belongs to me. I lost it a long time ago. I have been looking for it ever since." + +Ben and Lily stopped pulling. They looked at the old man. They were scared. They did not know he was a wizard. They did not know the ring was magic. They said, "We are sorry, sir. We did not know. Here is your ring." + +The old man took the ring and smiled. He said, "Thank you, children. You have done me a great favor. You have returned my ring. It is very precious to me. It can grant wishes. But it can also cause trouble. It is not for children. It is for wizards. As a reward, I will grant you each one wish. What do you wish for?" + +Ben and Lily thought for a moment. They did not want the ring anymore. They wanted something else. They said, "We wish to be friends again. We are sorry we fought. We do not want to be grumpy. We want to be happy." + +The old man nodded. He said, "That is a good wish. It is granted. You are friends again. You can play together. You can share your treasure. But remember, children, the most valuable treasure is not copper or gold or jewels. It is friendship. Friendship is magic." + +Ben and Lily hugged each other. They said, "Thank you, sir. You are very kind. You are very wise. You are our friend too." + +The old man winked. He said, "You are welcome, children. You are very sweet. You are very brave. You are my friends too. Now, go and have fun. But be careful. You never know what you might find in the sand." + +He put the ring on his finger and disappeared. Ben and Lily did not see him again. But they never forgot him. They never forgot the magic ring. They never forgot their wish. They never forgot their friendship. They were happy. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the yard. The box is empty and brown. + +"Look, a box!" Ben says. "We can make a fort!" + +"Yes, let's do that!" Mia says. They are excited. They run to the box and climb inside. + +The box is cozy and dark. They pretend it is a castle or a spaceship or a cave. They make noises and stories and have fun. + +"Can I join you?" a voice asks. It is Sam, their neighbor. He is holding a flashlight. + +"Sure, come in!" Ben and Mia say. They make room for Sam in the box. He turns on the flashlight and shines it around. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Sam says. "Can I be a pirate?" + +"Okay, you can be a pirate!" Ben and Mia say. They all laugh and play together in the box. They are happy. The box is their favorite toy. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys and books, but they liked to pretend they were heroes. They made a big fort with pillows and blankets, and used sticks as swords. + +"Look out, Tom, there is a monster outside!" Lily said, pointing to the door. + +"Where? I don't see it!" Tom said, looking around. + +"Shh, it is very quiet. Maybe it is hiding. We have to be brave and fight it!" Lily said, holding her stick. + +They crept out of their fort and walked to the door. They heard a knock. + +"Who is it?" Tom asked. + +"Answer me, children. It is your mom. I have a surprise for you!" a voice said. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They were not sure if it was really their mom or a monster trying to trick them. + +"Mom, is that you?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, it is me. Open the door, please. I have something for you!" the voice said. + +Tom and Lily decided to trust the voice. They opened the door and saw their mom smiling. She had a big cake in her hands. + +"Surprise! I made you a cake for being good kids. Do you want some?" she said. + +Tom and Lily were happy. They hugged their mom and thanked her for the cake. They realized that the voice was not a monster, but their mom who loved them. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes we are afraid of things that are not scary, but we can overcome our fear by being brave and trusting our family. +Lily liked to play with her toy gun. She liked to shoot at the birds and the flowers in the garden. She thought it was fun to make them fly away or fall down. She did not care if they were hurt or scared. + +One day, Lily saw a big red bird on a branch. She wanted to shoot it and make it fall. She aimed her toy gun and pulled the trigger. But the bird did not fly away or fall down. It flew towards Lily and pecked her on the nose. Lily cried out in pain and dropped her toy gun. + +The bird flew away and Lily ran inside. She told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and put a band-aid on her nose. She said, "Lily, you should not shoot at the birds and the flowers. They are living things and they have feelings. They do not like to be hurt or scared. You should be kind and gentle to them. They are God's creatures and they make the world beautiful." + +Lily felt sorry for what she did. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not know. I will not shoot at the birds and the flowers anymore. I will be kind and gentle to them. I will watch them and listen to them and learn from them." + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. I'm proud of you. You learned a valuable lesson today. Now, let's go and have some cookies and milk." + +For the next week, Lily did not play with her toy gun. She played with her dolls and her blocks and her books. She also went to the garden and watched the birds and the flowers. She learned their names and their colors and their sounds. She enjoyed their beauty and their company. She was quiet and respectful and happy. She thanked God for His wonderful gifts. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. It is colorful and shiny. They want to touch it. + +"Look, a balloon!" Tom says. + +"Let's go get it!" Mia says. + +They run to the balloon. But the balloon is too high. They cannot reach it. They see a rope on the balloon. They pull the rope. The balloon comes down a little. + +"Yay, we did it!" Tom says. + +But then, the wind blows hard. The balloon flies away again. It goes into the mist. The mist is white and cold. Tom and Mia cannot see the balloon. + +"Oh no, where is the balloon?" Mia says. + +"We have to rescue it!" Tom says. + +They follow the rope. They run into the mist. They feel scared. They cannot see anything. They hold hands. + +"Where are we?" Mia says. + +"I don't know. But we have to find the balloon." Tom says. + +They keep running. They hear a sound. It is a duck. The duck is on a pond. The pond is in the mist. The balloon is on the pond. The duck is playing with the balloon. + +"Quack, quack!" the duck says. + +"There is the balloon!" Tom says. + +"And a duck!" Mia says. + +They go to the pond. They say hello to the duck. The duck is friendly. It gives them the balloon. + +"Thank you, duck!" Tom says. + +"You are welcome, kids!" the duck says. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They have the balloon. They hug the duck. They say goodbye to the duck. They go out of the mist. They see the sun. They see the park. They see their mom and dad. They run to them. They show them the balloon. + +"Look, we found a balloon!" Tom says. + +"And we rescued it from the mist!" Mia says. + +"And we met a duck!" Tom says. + +Their mom and dad are proud. They hug them. They say they are brave. They say they are smart. They say they are good friends. They all go home. They have a fun day. They love the balloon. They love the duck. They love each other. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to make things with paper and glue. They had scissors to cut the paper. They were careful with the scissors. They knew they were sharp. + +But then, a big dog came into the garden. It was not their dog. It was a bad dog. It barked and growled. It wanted to bite them. Lily and Ben were scared. They ran to the house. But the door was locked. Mom was inside. She did not hear them. + +The dog chased them. It was fast. Lily and Ben saw a hole in the fence. They ran to the hole. They tried to squeeze through. But Lily's dress got stuck. The dog was getting closer. It showed its teeth. + +Ben had an idea. He used the scissors to cut Lily's dress. He made a big hole. Lily was free. She and Ben escaped through the hole. They ran to the neighbor's house. They knocked on the door. The neighbor opened the door. He saw the dog. He called the police. + +Lily and Ben were safe. They hugged each other. They were happy. Mom came to get them. She was sorry. She did not know the door was locked. She was glad they were okay. She gave them a kiss. She said they were brave. + +They went home. They changed their clothes. Lily's dress was ruined. But she did not mind. She had another dress. She and Ben made more things with paper and glue. They had fun. They did not see the dog again. They hoped it was gone. They hoped it was dry. They did not like the dog. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a red motorcycle that made loud noises. They both wanted to ride the motorcycle all the time, and they did not like to share. They were very competitive and always tried to be faster and louder than the other. + +One day, they had a big fight over the motorcycle. Tom said it was his, because he got it for his birthday. Sam said it was his, because he found it in the garage. They pulled and pushed and yelled, and the motorcycle broke in two. They both started to cry, and their mom came to see what was wrong. + +She saw the broken motorcycle and the angry brothers, and she was very sad. She said, "Boys, this motorcycle does not belong to either of you. It belongs to both of you. You are brothers, and you should love and share with each other. Being competitive is not always good, especially when it hurts someone you care about. Now you have no motorcycle to play with, and you have hurt each other's feelings. How do you feel?" + +Tom and Sam felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry to each other and to their mom. They hugged and said they loved each other. They asked their mom if she could fix the motorcycle, and she said she would try. She said, "Next time, remember to be kind and generous, and to enjoy your toys together. That is the best way to have fun and be happy." Tom and Sam agreed, and they promised to be better brothers. They learned their lesson, and they never fought over the motorcycle again. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big strawberry plant that gave them sweet red fruits. They loved to pick them and eat them with cream. + +One day, they saw a naughty rabbit in the garden. The rabbit was nibbling on their strawberries and making holes in the leaves. Anna and Ben were very angry. They ran to the rabbit and shouted, "Go away, naughty rabbit! These are our strawberries, not yours!" + +The rabbit was scared and ran away. But he left behind a mess. Some strawberries were half-eaten, some were squashed, and some were missing. Anna and Ben felt sad. They wanted to fix their strawberry plant and make it happy again. + +They went to their dad and asked for help. He gave them some water, some compost, and some netting. He showed them how to water the plant, put compost around it, and cover it with netting. He said, "This will help your plant grow more strawberries and keep the naughty rabbit away." + +Anna and Ben thanked their dad and did as he said. They worked hard and fixed their strawberry plant. They felt proud and happy. They hoped their plant would give them more strawberries soon. They decided to share some with their dad and their mom, and maybe even with the rabbit, if he was nice. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were fairies and wizards. They had a magic wand and a crown. They waved the wand and said spells. + +"Make a cake appear!" Lily said. She waved the wand at a big flower pot. Nothing happened. + +"Maybe we need to say it louder," Ben said. He waved the wand and shouted, "Make a cake appear!" + +Suddenly, a cake appeared on top of the flower pot. It was round and pink and had candles on it. Lily and Ben clapped and cheered. + +"Wow, it worked!" Lily said. "Let's eat some cake!" + +They ran to the flower pot and picked up the cake. But when they tried to bite it, they made a face. The cake was not soft and sweet. It was hard and dry. + +"Yuck, this is not a good cake!" Ben said. He spat out the cake. + +"Maybe it's not a cake," Lily said. She looked at the cake more closely. She saw a label on it. It said, "Wine". + +"What is wine?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "But I don't like it. Let's make something else appear." + +They waved the wand again and said, "Make a toy appear!" + +But nothing happened. The wand did not work anymore. Lily and Ben were sad. + +"Maybe the wand is broken," Ben said. + +"Or maybe it only works once," Lily said. + +They put down the wand and the cake. They decided to play something else. They hoped the next time they found a magic wand, it would make better things appear. +Tom and Lily liked to question everything. They always asked why, how, what and where. They wanted to learn about the world. + +One day, they went to the park with their mom. It was summer, but it was cold. The sky was gray and the wind was strong. Tom and Lily wore jackets and hats. + +They saw a big pond with ducks and geese. They ran to the edge and threw bread crumbs. The birds came closer and ate the food. Tom and Lily were happy. + +"Why are the ducks and geese here?" Tom asked. "Why don't they fly away?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Some ducks and geese stay here all year. They like this pond. They have food and water and friends. They don't mind the cold." + +Lily nodded and said, "But some ducks and geese fly away, right? Where do they go?" + +Mom said, "Yes, some ducks and geese fly away. They go to warmer places. They follow the sun. They come back when it is spring." + +Tom and Lily thought that was amazing. They wanted to see the warmer places and the sun. They wanted to fly with the ducks and geese. + +They looked at the sky and said, "Maybe one day we can fly too." +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a black box under a tree. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom said. + +"But it has a lock. How can we open it?" Lily asked. + +Tom looked around and saw a key on the grass. He picked it up and ran to the box. He put the key in the lock and turned it. The box made a click sound. Tom lifted the lid. + +"Wow!" Lily and Tom said together. They saw a lot of shiny things in the box. There were rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. They sparkled in the sun. + +"They are so pretty!" Lily said. She reached out to touch them. + +"Careful!" Tom said. "They are hot!" + +Lily pulled back her hand. She felt a burn on her finger. She cried out. + +"Ouch! That hurts!" + +Tom felt sorry for Lily. He gave her a hug. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know they were hot. Maybe they belong to someone who likes hot things." + +"Maybe. But why are they in a black box under a tree?" Lily wondered. + +"I don't know. Maybe they are hiding them. Maybe they are bad people who stole them." + +"Maybe. We should tell Mom and Dad. Maybe they can help." + +"Okay. Let's go." Tom said. + +They closed the lid and left the key in the lock. They ran to the house to find their parents. They hoped they could solve the mystery of the black box and the hot things. +Sam and Ben are brothers who like to play with their toys. They have many animals, like lions, monkeys, and zebras. One day, they decide to make a jungle in their room with blankets and pillows. + +"Look, Ben, I have a zebra!" Sam says, holding a black and white toy. "He is very fast and tough. He can run away from the lions." + +"I have a lion!" Ben says, holding a yellow and brown toy. "He is very strong and hungry. He can catch the zebra and eat him." + +Sam and Ben make noises and move their toys around the jungle. They pretend that the lion is chasing the zebra, and the zebra is trying to escape. + +"Roar!" Ben says, making his lion jump on the zebra. "I got you, zebra! You are my lunch!" + +"Neigh!" Sam says, making his zebra kick the lion. "No, lion! You are not my boss! I am tough!" + +Sam and Ben laugh and have fun. They love their toys and their jungle. But then, they hear their mom calling them. + +"Sam! Ben! Time for dinner!" Mom says from downstairs. "Come and wash your hands!" + +Sam and Ben look at each other. They do not want to leave their jungle and their toys. They have an idea. + +"Let's cover our toys with the blankets!" Sam says. "Then, Mom will not see them. And we can play again after dinner." + +"Good idea!" Ben says. "Let's do it!" + +Sam and Ben cover their toys with the blankets. They make sure that the lion and the zebra are hidden. Then, they run downstairs to eat their dinner. + +They hope that their mom will not find their jungle and their toys. They want to play more later. They are happy and hungry. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys. They have a duck, a boat, a frog and a cup. They splash the water with their hands and feet. They laugh and make noise. + +Mama is in the kitchen. She is making a cake. She needs sugar. She goes to the cupboard. She takes a big jar of sugar. She walks back to the bowl. She does not hear Sara and Ben. + +Sara sees the cup. She has an idea. She fills the cup with water. She looks at Ben. She says, "Ben, look at me!" Ben looks at her. Sara throws the water at him. Ben is wet. He is surprised. He says, "Sara, why did you do that?" + +Ben sees the frog. He has an idea. He squeezes the frog. The frog makes a sound. He says, "Sara, look at me!" Sara looks at him. Ben throws the frog at her. Sara is wet. She is surprised. She says, "Ben, why did you do that?" + +Mama hears the noise. She turns around. She sees the jar of sugar. It is falling. She tries to catch it. She is too late. The jar breaks. The sugar spills. Mama is sad. She says, "Oh no, my sugar!" + +Sara and Ben hear Mama. They stop playing. They look at Mama. They see the sugar. They are sorry. They say, "Mama, we are sorry. We did not mean to make a mess." + +Mama looks at Sara and Ben. They are wet. They are sweet. They are cute. She is not angry. She says, "It's okay, my loves. You did not know. But next time, please be careful. And do not splash so much. You are deafening me!" She smiles. She hugs them. She says, "Now, let's clean up. And then we can have some cake." +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and make mud pies. They were very happy and dirty. + +"Look, I made a big mud pie!" Ben said, showing Lily his creation. + +"Wow, that's a good one!" Lily said. "Can I have a bite?" + +Ben laughed. "No, silly! Mud pies are not for eating. They are for pretending." + +Lily nodded. She pretended to eat her own mud pie. She made a funny face. "Yuck, it tastes like soap!" + +Ben and Lily heard their mom calling them. "Ben! Lily! Time to come in and have a bath!" + +They ran to the house. They did not want to have a bath. They liked being dirty. + +"Mom, can we play some more?" Ben asked. + +"No, you can't. You are both very brown and smelly. You need to wash off the dirt and the soap." Mom said. + +She took them to the bathroom. She filled the tub with warm water and bubbles. She helped them take off their clothes and get in the water. + +"Mom, this is fun!" Lily said, splashing the water. + +"Shut your eyes, Lily. I need to wash your hair." Mom said, pouring some shampoo on her head. + +Lily shut her eyes. She felt the shampoo tickle her scalp. She giggled. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben said, wanting his turn. + +Mom washed Ben's hair too. She rinsed off the shampoo and the soap. She dried them with a towel. She put on their clean pajamas. + +"Look, you are both very clean and shiny. You smell like flowers." Mom said, hugging them. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They felt cozy and happy. They thanked Mom for the bath. + +They went to their bedroom. They snuggled in their beds. Mom read them a story. She kissed them good night. + +"Sleep well, my sweet mud pies." Mom said. + +Ben and Lily closed their eyes. They dreamed of playing in the garden again. +Tim and Mia were friends who liked to draw. They had many pencils of different colors. One day, Tim found a hidden pencil under his bed. It was shiny and had a star on it. He was very happy and wanted to show Mia. + +He ran to Mia's house with the pencil in his hand. He knocked on the door and Mia opened it. She saw the pencil and said, "Wow, what a nice pencil! Where did you get it?" + +Tim said, "I found it under my bed. It was hidden. Do you want to see how it draws?" + +Mia said, "Yes, please. Let's go to my room. I have some paper there." + +They went to Mia's room and sat on the floor. Tim gave Mia the pencil and she tried to draw a flower. But the pencil did not work. It only made a scratchy sound and left no mark on the paper. + +Mia said, "This pencil is broken. It does not draw anything. Maybe it is old and spoiled." + +Tim said, "No, it is not. It is new and shiny. Maybe you are doing it wrong. Give it back to me. I want to try." + +Mia said, "No, you give it to me. I want to try again. Maybe I can fix it." + +They started to pull the pencil from each other. They did not share. They did not listen. They were angry and rude. The pencil snapped in half and fell on the floor. They both gasped and looked at the broken pencil. + +Tim said, "You spoiled my pencil. You broke it. It was mine. I found it. You are a bad friend." + +Mia said, "You spoiled my drawing. You took it from me. It was mine. You gave it to me. You are a bad friend." + +They both started to cry and shout. They did not say sorry. They did not hug. They did not make up. They ran away from each other and slammed the doors. They were not friends anymore. They were sad and lonely. The end. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their wagon. It is red and big and has four wheels. They can put many things in it and pull it around the yard. + +One day, they find a big rock. They want to put it in their wagon. But the rock is too heavy. They try to lift it, but they cannot. They try to push it, but they cannot. They are sad. + +They see their dad. He is strong. He can lift and push many things. They ask him for help. "Dad, can you help us with this rock? We want to put it in our wagon." + +Dad smiles. He goes to the rock. He tries to lift it, but he cannot. He tries to push it, but he cannot. He is surprised. "This rock is very heavy. I cannot move it either. Where did you find it?" + +Ben and Sam point to the hill. "We found it there. It was sleeping. We wanted to wake it up and play with it." + +Dad laughs. He hugs them. "This is not a rock, my boys. This is a turtle. A very big and old turtle. He is not sleeping. He is hiding in his shell. He does not want to play with you. He wants to be left alone. You should be kind and gentle to animals. They have feelings too." + +Ben and Sam feel sorry. They did not know. They say sorry to the turtle. They touch his shell softly. They hope he is not angry. They leave him alone. + +They go back to their wagon. They find other things to play with. They have fun. They learn to respect animals. They are happy. +Tom was a boy who liked to gaze at the sky. He liked to see the clouds, the sun, and the birds. He wanted to fly like a bird one day. He thought flying was fun and free. + +One day, he saw a pig on a farm. The pig was sad. He had no friends to play with. He was dirty and smelly. He wished he could be like a bird too. He said to Tom, "Hello, boy. Why do you gaze at the sky?" + +Tom said, "I gaze at the sky because I want to fly like a bird. Flying is fun and free. Why are you sad, pig?" + +The pig said, "I am sad because I have no friends to play with. I am dirty and smelly. I want to be like a bird too. But I can't fly. I can only walk and grunt." + +Tom felt sorry for the pig. He said, "You don't need to be like a bird to be happy, pig. You can be happy as a pig. You have a nice farm to live on. You have food and water. You have a curly tail and a pink nose. You are cute and funny. You can make friends with other animals. You can play with me. I will be your friend." + +The pig smiled. He said, "Thank you, boy. You are very kind. You are right. I can be happy as a pig. I don't need to fly to be free. I can be free in my own way. You are my friend. I will play with you." + +Tom and the pig became friends. They played together on the farm. They gazed at the sky together. They learned from each other. They were happy. + +The moral of the story is: Be happy with who you are. You don't need to be like someone else to be free. You can find friends who accept you and love you. You can enjoy the simple things in life. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite ones were the dolls and the cars. They always shared their toys, except for one: a fragile glass horse that their grandma gave them. They both loved the horse, but they could not play with it at the same time. + +One day, it was very cold and rainy outside, so they stayed in the living room near the fireplace. They took out their toys and started to play. Anna wanted to play with the horse, but so did Ben. + +"Please, let me play with the horse," Anna said. "I will be careful and not break it." + +"No, I want to play with it," Ben said. "You had it yesterday, and it is my turn today." + +They argued and pulled the horse from each other. They did not notice that they were getting closer to the fireplace. The horse slipped from their hands and fell into the fire. They gasped and watched as the horse melted and burned. + +They felt very sad and sorry. They wished they had not fought over the horse. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. + +"Next time, we will choose to share and be nice," Anna said. + +"Yes, we will," Ben said. "And we will remember our grandma and the horse she gave us." +Lily and Tom were playing a game. They had to find the most beautiful flowers in the garden and put them in a basket. The one who had the most flowers at the end would win. Lily wanted to have the victory. She saw a big red flower that was very beautiful. She ran to get it. + +But Tom saw it too. He ran faster than Lily and reached the flower first. He picked it and put it in his basket. He smiled and said, "Ha ha, I got it. You are too slow, Lily." + +Lily was sad and angry. She wanted to prevent Tom from getting more flowers. She saw a yellow flower that was also very beautiful. She ran to get it. But Tom saw it too. He ran faster than Lily and reached the flower first. He picked it and put it in his basket. He smiled and said, "Ha ha, I got it again. You are too slow, Lily." + +Lily was very sad and very angry.

He ran faster than Lily and reached the flower first. He picked it and put it in his basket. He smiled and said, "Ha ha, I got it too. You are too slow, Lily. I have the most flowers. I have the victory." + +Lily was very very sad and very very angry. She started to cry. She said, "You are not nice, Tom. You took all the flowers. You did not let me have any. You did not share. You are a bad friend." + +Tom heard Lily cry. He felt sorry for her. He looked at his basket. He had many flowers. He looked at Lily's basket. She had no flowers. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I was not nice. I took all the flowers. I did not let you have any. I did not share. I was a bad friend." + +He took out the blue flower from his basket. He gave it to Lily. He said, "Here, Lily. You can have this flower. It is the most beautiful of all. You can have the victory. You are a good friend." + +Lily stopped crying. She smiled. She took the blue flower from Tom. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are nice. You gave me this flower. You shared. You are a good friend." + +They hugged. They put their flowers together in one basket. They said, "We both have the victory. We both have beautiful flowers. We both have a good friend." They played happily in the garden. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. It was very high and shiny. Tom wanted to go on the slide, but Sam was scared. + +"I dare you to go on the slide," Tom said to Sam. "It is fun and fast. You are not a baby, are you?" + +Sam did not want to be a baby. He wanted to be brave like Tom. He nodded and followed Tom to the slide. Tom went first. He sat on the slide and slid down. He laughed and shouted. He looked happy. + +Sam watched Tom. He felt nervous. He sat on the slide and held the sides. He closed his eyes and slid down. He did not laugh or shout. He felt the slide go bump and twist. He opened his eyes and saw the ground. He was going too fast. He could not stop. + +He hit the ground with a thud. He rolled and tumbled. He felt pain in his arm and leg. He cried and screamed. He was hurt. + +Tom ran to Sam. He saw the blood and the tears. He felt sorry and scared. He hugged Sam and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It was a bad dare. You are brave, but you are also my brother. I love you." + +Sam felt the hug and the words. He felt a little better. He said, "I love you too. But I don't like the slide. It is too high and shiny. It is a bad slide." + +Tom nodded. He helped Sam stand up. He saw a lady with a wrap. She came to them and said, "Are you okay? You had a bad fall. Let me wrap your arm and leg. It will help the hurt." + +Sam and Tom thanked the lady. She wrapped their arm and leg with the wrap. She gave them a smile and a candy. She said, "You are good boys. But be careful on the slide. It is not for little ones. It is for big ones." + +Sam and Tom nodded. They held hands and walked to their mom. They told her what happened. She hugged them and kissed them. She said, "You are my brave boys. But you are also my little boys. I love you." + +Sam and Tom smiled. They felt the love and the wrap. They did not feel the hurt so much. They learned a lesson. They did not dare each other again. They played with other things in the park. They had fun and were safe. +Ben and Mia like to play with their toy ship. They pretend it is a big ship that can sail on the sea. They make sounds like waves and wind and birds. + +One day, Ben has a joke. He puts some glue on the ship's wheel. He thinks it will be funny when Mia tries to turn it. He says to Mia, "Do you want to play with the ship today?" + +Mia says, "Yes, I do. I want to be the captain." She takes the ship and puts it on the floor. She sits behind the wheel and says, "Ahoy, mateys! Let's go on an adventure!" + +She tries to turn the wheel, but it does not move. She tries harder, but it is stuck. She says, "Ben, the wheel is broken. What did you do?" + +Ben laughs and says, "I played a joke on you. I put glue on the wheel. Ha ha ha!" + +Mia is not happy. She feels sad and angry. She says, "That is not a joke. That is mean. You ruined my ship. You are a careless brother." + +She takes the ship and runs to their mom. She tells her what Ben did. Mom is not happy either. She says, "Ben, that was not a nice thing to do. You have to say sorry to Mia and fix the ship. And no more jokes like that." + +Ben feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was just trying to be funny. I did not mean to hurt your feelings or break your ship. I will help you fix it." + +Mia says, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, please be more careful with my toys. And maybe we can find a better joke to play together." + +Ben says, "Okay, Mia. I will. And maybe we can still play with the ship later. I like to pretend it is a big ship that can sail on the sea." + +Mia says, "Me too. I like to play with you. You are a good brother." + +They hug and smile. They go to find some glue and fix the ship. Then they play with it again. They make sounds like waves and wind and birds. They have fun. +Sara and Ben love to make paper planes. They fold the paper many times until it looks like a bird. Then they throw the planes in the air and watch them fly. Sometimes they have races to see whose plane goes farther. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a big bag of candy in the kitchen. They are very happy and want to eat some. But they also have an idea. They take some candy and fold the wrappers into small paper planes. They make red planes, yellow planes, green planes, and blue planes. + +They go outside and find a hill. They run up the hill and throw their candy planes in the air. The planes fly very fast and far. They look like colorful stars in the sky. Sara and Ben laugh and clap. They run after their planes and pick them up. They eat some candy and share some with their friends. They have a lot of fun with their candy planes. They think they are the best planes ever. +Anna loves to watch magic shows on TV. She likes to see the famous magician make things vanish with his wand. She wants to be a magician too. She has a scarf that she uses as her magic cape. + +One day, she decides to show her magic to her friend Ben. She invites him to her room and puts on her scarf. She says, "I am Anna the great magician. I can make anything vanish. Watch this!" She picks up her teddy bear and waves her wand. She says, "Abracadabra, teddy bear, vanish!" + +She throws the teddy bear behind her bed and smiles. She thinks Ben will be amazed. But Ben is not. He says, "That's not magic. You just hid your teddy bear. I can see it behind your bed. You are not a real magician." + +Anna feels sad. She says, "Yes, I am. I can make other things vanish too. Like this scarf." She waves her wand again and says, "Abracadabra, scarf, vanish!" She pulls the scarf from her neck and throws it behind her bed too. + +But this time, something strange happens. The scarf does not land on the floor. It disappears in the air. Anna and Ben are shocked. They look behind the bed, but they cannot find the scarf. It is gone. + +Anna says, "Wow, I did it. I made the scarf vanish. I am a real magician." Ben says, "Wow, you are. That was amazing. How did you do that?" Anna says, "I don't know. It was magic. Maybe the scarf was magic too." + +They look for the scarf for a long time, but they cannot find it. They wonder where it went. Maybe it went to another magic world. Maybe it will come back someday. Maybe it will not. They don't know. But they are happy. They have seen real magic. And they are friends. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a shiny fork in the kitchen. They thought it was a magic wand that could make things happen. + +"Let's go to the garden and use the fork to make flowers grow," Ben said. + +"Okay, but we have to be careful. Mom said forks are not for playing. They can hurt us," Lily said. + +They ran to the garden and waved the fork at the plants. Nothing happened. They were sad. + +"Maybe we need to say a magic word," Ben said. + +"What word?" Lily asked. + +Ben paused and thought hard. He remembered a word he heard on TV. + +"Abracadabra!" he shouted and pointed the fork at a rose bush. + +Suddenly, the fork made a loud noise and sparks flew out of it. The rose bush caught fire and the flames spread quickly. + +"Help! Help!" Ben and Lily screamed. + +Mom heard them and ran outside. She saw the fire and the fork in Ben's hand. She was angry and scared. + +"What have you done? You could have burned the house down! Give me that fork right now!" she yelled. + +She grabbed the fork and threw it away. She took Ben and Lily inside and called the fire department. She scolded them for being naughty and dangerous. She said they had to stay in their room without any toys for a week. + +Ben and Lily cried and hugged each other. They wished they had listened to Mom and not played with the fork. They learned that forks are not magic wands, and that being wise is better than being curious. +Lily liked to follow her big brother Ben to school every Wednesday. Wednesday was a regular day for Ben, but a special day for Lily. She did not go to school yet, but she liked to see the big kids and the teachers and the playground. She also liked to hold Ben's hand and talk to him on the way. + +But one Wednesday, Ben did not want Lily to follow him. He said he had a big test and he needed to study. He said Lily was too noisy and too slow and too silly. He said she should stay home with Mom and play with her toys. He said he was too old for her. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not think she was noisy or slow or silly. She thought Ben was mean and rude and selfish. She wanted to follow him anyway and show him she was a big girl. She did not listen to him or Mom. She put on her shoes and her coat and ran after him. + +Ben did not see Lily at first. He walked fast and did not look back. He was thinking about his test and his friends and his teacher. He did not notice when Lily crossed the street or when she got lost or when she started to cry. + +Lily did not know where she was. She did not see Ben or the school or the playground. She saw only cars and buildings and strangers. She felt scared and alone and sorry. She wished she had listened to Ben and Mom. She wished she could find them and hug them and say she was sorry. + +A nice lady saw Lily crying on the sidewalk. She asked her what was wrong and where she lived. She called Mom on her phone and told her where Lily was. She waited with Lily until Mom came and picked her up. + +Mom was very worried and very angry. She hugged Lily and scolded her. She said Lily was naughty and foolish and dangerous. She said she should never run away or follow Ben without permission. She said she loved her and wanted her to be safe. + +Lily felt ashamed and grateful. She hugged Mom and apologized. She said she was sorry and she loved her and she would never do it again.

She said she was glad she found her and she was proud of her for being brave and honest. She said she was her special girl and she would always love her. + +Lily felt happy and relieved. She ate her snack and listened to her story and smiled at Mom. She said she was happy and she loved her and she would always listen to her. She said she did not need to follow Ben anymore. She said she had her own regular day. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play together. Today, they want to make a surprise for their moms. They go to the kitchen and look for some stuff. + +"What can we make?" Sara asks. + +"Maybe we can make a cake," Tom says. + +They find some eggs, flour, sugar, and butter. They also find a bowl, a spoon, and a pan. They try to prepare the cake. They break the eggs and put them in the bowl. They add some flour, sugar, and butter. They mix everything with the spoon. + +"Is it ready?" Sara asks. + +"I think so," Tom says. "Let's put it in the pan and in the oven." + +They do that. They wait for the cake to bake. They smell something good. + +"Our moms will be happy," Sara says. + +"Yes, they will," Tom says. "We are thoughtful." + +They smile and hug. They are proud of their cake. They hope their moms will like it. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park when they saw a big truck. The truck had many boxes and bags. They were curious and ran to the truck. A man came out of the truck and smiled at them. + +"Hello, kids. Do you want to see what I have in the truck?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Mia said. + +The man opened one of the boxes and took out a shiny wrapper. He gave it to Tom and said, "This is candy. It is very sweet and yummy. You can eat it." + +Tom opened the wrapper and put the candy in his mouth. He liked it very much. He said, "Thank you, mister. This is good candy." + +The man opened another box and took out a brown thing. He gave it to Mia and said, "This is also candy. But it is very old and hard. It is ancient candy. You cannot eat it. It is only for looking." + +Mia looked at the brown thing. It had strange marks on it. She said, "What are these marks, mister?" + +The man said, "These are words. They tell us where the candy came from and how old it is. This candy is from a place called Egypt. It is more than three thousand years old. It was made by people who lived a long time ago. They were called pharaohs. They were very powerful and rich. They liked to make candy and put it in their tombs. Do you know what a tomb is?" + +Mia shook her head. She did not know what a tomb was. + +The man said, "A tomb is a big house under the ground. It is where the pharaohs buried their bodies and their treasures. They wanted to keep them safe and happy for ever. Sometimes, people find these tombs and dig them up. They want to learn more about the pharaohs and their candy. I am one of those people. I am an archaeologist. Do you know what an archaeologist is?" + +Mia nodded. She had heard that word before. She said, "An archaeologist is someone who likes to find old things and explain them to other people." + +The man smiled and said, "That's right, Mia. You are very smart. You and Tom are both very smart. Do you want to see more ancient candy and other old things?" + +Tom and Mia said, "Yes, please!" + +The man said, "OK, then. Come with me. I will show you more. But first, let me give you some more candy. The new kind, not the ancient kind. You can eat it and enjoy it. It is a gift from me to you." + +Tom and Mia said, "Thank you, mister. You are very nice. We like you and your candy." + +The man said, "You are very welcome, kids. I like you too. You are very curious and friendly. Come on, let's go and have some fun." +Tom is a man who likes to read books. He is very intelligent and knows many things. He works at a big place where he helps other people learn. He likes his work, but sometimes he feels tired and bored. + +One day, he decides to go on a trip. He packs his bag with some clothes, a book, and a map. He says goodbye to his friends and gets on a bus. He looks out the window and sees many new things. He feels happy and curious. + +The bus stops at a small town. Tom gets off and walks around. He sees a park with some flowers, a fountain, and a bench. He sits on the bench and opens his book. He starts to read. + +"Hello, sir. What are you reading?" A voice asks him. Tom looks up and sees a little girl. She has brown hair, blue eyes, and a red dress. She smiles at him. + +"Hello, little girl. I'm reading a book about animals. Do you like animals?" Tom asks her. + +"Yes, I do. I have a dog at home. His name is Spot. He is very friendly and playful. Do you have a pet?" The girl asks him. + +"No, I don't. I live alone in a small apartment. I don't have much space for a pet. But I like to watch birds and squirrels in the park. They are very cute and funny." Tom says. + +"Maybe you should get a bird or a squirrel as a pet. They don't need much space. They can live in a cage or a box. You can feed them and play with them. They will keep you company and make you happy." The girl suggests. + +Tom thinks about it. He likes the idea of having a pet. He thinks a bird or a squirrel would be a good choice. He decides to go to a pet shop and look for one. He thanks the girl for her advice and closes his book. + +"Goodbye, sir. I hope you find a nice pet. Have a good trip." The girl says. + +"Goodbye, little girl. Thank you for talking to me. You are very intelligent and kind. Have a good day." Tom says. + +He gets up and walks to the pet shop. He feels excited and hopeful. He wonders what kind of pet he will find. He thinks maybe his trip will change his life. +Lila loved her furry pink bunny. She hugged it every night and took it everywhere.

He pushed Lila away and ran to his mommy. + +Lila started to cry. She wanted her bunny back. She missed its furry pink fur and its soft nose. She felt alone and angry. + +Her mommy saw what happened and came to hug her. She wiped her tears and said, "Don't worry, Lila. We'll get your bunny back. That boy was not nice. He should not take things that are not his." + +She walked with Lila to the boy and his mommy. She said, "Excuse me, ma'am. That bunny belongs to my daughter. She loves it very much. Can you please give it back to her?" + +The boy's mommy looked surprised. She said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I thought he found it on the ground. Here, take it back.

They were very competitive and always wanted to win. One day, they went to the store with their mom to buy some toys. They saw a big shelf with many colorful puzzles and books. + +"I want this one!" Lily said, grabbing a puzzle with a picture of a princess. + +"No, I want it!" Max said, pulling the puzzle from Lily's hand. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You can each choose one toy, but you have to share and be nice." + +Lily and Max looked at each other and nodded. They put the puzzle back and looked for other toys. Lily saw a book with a story about a fairy. She liked fairies and wanted to read the book. She reached for it, but Max was faster. He snatched the book and ran away. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily shouted, chasing after him. "Give me the book!" + +Max ran around the store, laughing and holding the book. He saw a dark corner with some masks and costumes. He had an idea. He put on a scary mask and hid behind a rack. He waited for Lily to come. + +Lily followed Max's voice and ran towards the corner. She did not see the mask. She only saw the book. She grabbed it and tried to pull it away. But then, Max jumped out and yelled, "Boo!" + +Lily screamed and dropped the book. She was very scared. She ran back to her mom and hugged her. + +"Mommy, mommy, Max scared me!" she cried. + +Max took off the mask and ran after her. He felt bad. He did not mean to scare her so much. He only wanted to play a joke. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry!" he said. "I was just kidding. Please don't be mad at me." + +Lily looked at Max and saw his sorry face. She was still scared, but she was also his sister. She loved him and forgave him. + +"It's okay, Max, it's okay," she said. "But don't do that again. It's not nice." + +They hugged and said sorry to each other. Their mom smiled and gave them a kiss. + +"Good, I'm glad you made up," she said. "Now, let's go and pay for your toys. And remember, sharing is caring." + +Lily and Max nodded and picked up their toys. They chose the puzzle and the book. They decided to share them and play together. They were still competitive, but they were also kind. They learned a lesson that day. They did not want to scare each other again. They wanted to have fun. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were mighty heroes with a bow and arrows. They took turns shooting at the trees and the clouds. + +"Look, I hit that big cloud!" Lila said, pointing at the sky. + +"Wow, you are so good!" Ben said, clapping his hands. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, here you go." Lila handed him the bow and an arrow. Ben aimed at another cloud and pulled the string. + +But as he let go of the arrow, something strange happened. The cloud he was aiming at disappeared. It was gone, just like that. + +"Where did it go?" Ben asked, confused. + +"I don't know!" Lila said, scared. "Maybe it was a magic cloud!" + +They looked around and saw that all the other clouds were still there. Only the one they shot at was missing. + +"Maybe we should go home," Lila said, grabbing Ben's hand. "This is too weird." + +"OK, let's go," Ben said, nodding. They ran back to their bikes, leaving the bow and arrows behind. They didn't want to play with them anymore. + +They never found out what happened to the cloud. But they never forgot the day they made it disappear. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they also fought over toys and snacks.

She picked up the cookies and threw them in the trash. She said, "You should have listened to me and waited for lunch. Now you have no cookies and you have to settle for a carrot instead." + +Tom and Lily felt sad and ashamed. They realized they had been greedy and disobedient. They took the carrots and ate them quietly. They decided to never take things without asking again. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your parents and be patient. If you take things without permission, you may lose them and get something worse. +Lila and Ben like to play knights and dragons. Lila has a sword and a shield. Ben has a mask and a tail. They run around the yard and pretend to fight. + +One day, a big dog comes into the yard. He sees Lila and Ben and thinks they are toys. He runs towards them and barks. Lila and Ben are scared.

She would kick it, throw it, and bounce it. She had a lot of fun with her ball. + +One day, it rained a lot. Lily could not go to the park. She left her ball outside. She forgot about it.

Do you want to see it?" + +"Yes, please," Lily and Ben said together. + +Mom winked at them and said, "Follow me to the kitchen. I have something yummy for you." + +They followed Mom to the kitchen and saw a big cake with candles and frosting. It was their birthday! They had forgotten that they were twins and that today was their special day. + +"Happy birthday, Lily and Ben," Mom said. "You are my brilliant stars. I love you so much." + +They hugged Mom and thanked her. Then, they blew out the candles and made a wish. They wished that they would always be happy and play together. They cut the cake and ate it.

They think they did well. They smile and high-five each other. + +The teacher collects the quiz. She looks at Lily and Ben's quiz. She is not happy. She frowns and shakes her head. She says, "Lily and Ben, you did not follow the instructions. You wrote the wrong answers. You wrote the names of the animals, not the colors. This is not impressive. This is bad." + +Lily and Ben are shocked and sad. They do not understand. They say, "But we know the animals and the colors. We wrote what we saw. We thought we did good. Why are you angry?" + +The teacher says, "You did not listen to me. I told you to write the colors of the animals, not the names. You did not pay attention. You did not do the quiz right. You have to leave the class. Go to the principal's office. Now." + +Lily and Ben cry and hold hands. They do not want to leave the class. They do not want to go to the principal's office. They are scared and sorry. They wish they did the quiz better. They wish they had a good ending. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. She also liked to search for fairies. She had a book that said fairies lived in the garden. But she never saw one. + +One day, she saw something shiny in the grass. She ran to see what it was. It was a fairy! The fairy was very small and had wings. She was holding a wand. She looked at Lily and smiled. + +"Hello, little girl," the fairy said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily was very happy. She nodded and said, "Yes, please. What is your name?" + +"My name is Faye," the fairy said. "But you have to be careful. I am a naughty fairy. I like to make mischief." + +Lily did not know what mischief meant. She thought it meant fun. She said, "I like fun. What do you do?" + +Faye giggled and said, "I can use my wand to change things. Watch this." She waved her wand at a flower. The flower turned blue. Then she waved her wand at a bug. The bug turned pink. Then she waved her wand at Lily. Lily turned green. + +Lily was surprised. She looked at her hands and said, "Why did you do that?" + +Faye laughed and said, "Because it is funny. Don't you like it?" + +Lily did not like it. She felt angry and sad. She said, "No, I don't like it. You are not nice. You are mean. Change me back." + +Faye shook her head and said, "No, I won't. You have to catch me first." She flew away, leaving Lily behind. + +Lily cried and ran after her. She wanted to be normal again. She searched for Faye in the garden. But Faye was too fast and too clever. She hid behind the trees and the rocks. She taunted Lily and said, "You can't catch me. You can't catch me." + +Lily felt hopeless. She wished she had never met Faye. She wished she had a friend who was kind and good. She wished she had a fairy who would help her. +Lily and her mom were going to the park. They waited on the street for a taxi. Lily saw many cars and buses and bikes. She liked to look at them and make noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +A yellow taxi stopped in front of them. The driver opened the door and smiled. "Hello, where are you going?" he asked. + +"To the park, please," mom said. She helped Lily get in the car and buckled her seat belt. + +Lily stared out the window. She saw trees and flowers and birds. She saw a big dog and a little cat. She saw a boy with a red balloon. She pointed and said, "Look, mom, look!" + +Mom looked and nodded. "Yes, I see, Lily.

She lived in a garden with many other flowers, but she was the only one who bloomed so brightly. + +One day, a bee came to the garden. He was looking for food. He saw Lily's petal and flew over to her. "Hello, pretty flower," he buzzed. "Can I have some of your sweet nectar?" + +Lily was happy to share her food with the bee. She smiled and said, "Of course, you can. Come closer and drink some." The bee landed on her petal and began to sip the nectar. + +But the bee was clumsy. He had too much nectar and he felt dizzy. He lost his balance and fell off the petal. He grabbed Lily's stem with his legs, but he pulled too hard. He broke Lily's stem and she fell to the ground. + +Lily felt a sharp pain in her stem. She cried out, "Ow, ow, ow! You hurt me, bee! You broke me!" The bee was sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, flower. I didn't mean to. I was clumsy. Please forgive me." + +But it was too late. Lily could not bloom anymore. She could not say hello to the sun anymore. She could not share her food anymore. She was sad and lonely. She wilted and died. The bee flew away, looking for another flower. He did not see the tears on Lily's petal. He did not hear the other flowers whisper, "Poor Lily. She was the prettiest flower in the garden." +Sara loves to paint. She has many colors and brushes. She paints flowers, animals, and houses.

She liked her jacket very much. She wanted to show it to her friends at the park. + +At the park, Sara saw a lot of kids playing on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. She ran to join them. She saw Lily, her best friend, and waved to her. Lily waved back and smiled. Sara was happy. + +But then, Sara saw an unknown boy. He was bigger than her and had a mean face. He came to Sara and said, "Hey, what are you wearing? That's a silly jacket. It looks like a fluffy bunny. You are a baby. Ha ha ha!" He laughed at Sara and pointed at her jacket. + +Sara felt very bad. She felt her face get hot. She felt tears in her eyes. She felt embarrass. She wanted to hide. She wanted to go home. She did not like the unknown boy. He was mean and rude. + +Sara ran to her mom and dad. They saw her cry and hugged her. They asked her what happened. Sara told them about the unknown boy and his words. They said, "Don't listen to him, Sara. He is wrong. Your jacket is very pretty and you are not a baby. You are a big girl. We love you and your jacket. And so do your friends. Don't let him make you feel bad. He is just jealous and unhappy." + +Sara felt better. She wiped her tears and smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you too. And I love my jacket. I don't care what he says. He is a meanie and a bully. I will not let him bother me. I will play with my friends and have fun." + +Sara hugged her mom and dad and went back to the park. She saw Lily and the other kids. They said, "Hi, Sara. We like your jacket. It's very cute and cozy. Do you want to play with us?" Sara said, "Yes, I do. Thank you, friends. You are very nice and kind." Sara played with her friends and had fun.

They are hungry and want to eat it. + +"Can I have the banana?" Anna asks. + +"No, I saw it first. It is mine!" Ben says. + +They start to pull the banana from both ends. They are clumsy and drop the banana on the ground. A monkey jumps out of a tree and grabs the banana. He runs away with it. + +"Hey, that is our banana!" Anna and Ben shout. + +They chase the monkey, but he is too fast. He climbs up another tree and peels the banana. He finishes the banana and throws the peel down. Anna and Ben stop and look at the peel. + +"That was a silly thing to do. We should have shared the banana," Anna says. + +"Yes, you are right. Sharing is nice. I am sorry," Ben says. + +They hug and say sorry. They decide to play on the swings instead. They are happy and forget about the banana.

Why do they not like it?" + +His mom hugs him and says, "I know you love your trumpet, Ben. And it is a very nice trumpet. But sometimes, people need to have some peace and quiet. They do not want to hear loud noises all the time. They want to rest or think or talk. Can you understand that?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He does not like to be disturbed when he is sleeping or playing or eating. He remembers how he felt when his sister turned on the TV when he was reading a book. He felt annoyed and angry. He says to his mom, "I think I understand, mom. I do not like to be disturbed either. I will play with my trumpet later, when it is not so quiet. Is that okay?" + +His mom smiles and says, "That is very okay, Ben. That is very kind and thoughtful of you. I am proud of you. And I am sure the neighbors will appreciate it too. Now, why don't you play with something else for a while? Maybe you can draw a picture of your trumpet or sing a song or make a puzzle." + +Ben nods and says, "Okay, mom. I will do that. Thank you for explaining to me. I love you, mom." + +He puts his trumpet away and picks up his crayons and paper. He decides to draw a picture of his trumpet and his band.

They wanted to examine everything they saw. + +They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They ran to the tree and looked inside. They saw a small bird nest with three eggs. "Wow, look at the eggs!" Tom said. "They are blue and speckled." + +"Can we touch them?" Lily asked. "Maybe they will hatch soon." + +"No, we can't touch them," their mom said. "They belong to the bird. We have to be gentle and quiet. If we touch them, the bird might get scared and leave." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They watched the eggs for a while. Then they heard a chirp. They looked up and saw a bird flying to the tree. It was the mother bird. She had a worm in her beak. She landed on the nest and fed the worm to the eggs. + +"Look, she is feeding them!" Lily said.

He can do tricks. Watch this." Ben took a whistle from his pocket and blew it. Spot heard the whistle and came running back to Ben. Ben gave him a treat and said, "Sit, Spot, sit." Spot sat down and looked at Ben with his big brown eyes. + +"Wow, that's amazing," Lily said. "How did you teach him that?" + +"I watched a video on the internet," Ben said. "It was easy. You just have to whistle and give him a treat when he does what you want. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nodded and took the whistle from Ben. She blew it and said, "Roll over, Spot, roll over." Spot tilted his head and looked at Lily. He did not roll over. He sniffed the air and ran away. + +"Hey, where are you going, Spot?" Ben shouted. He and Lily followed Spot and saw him digging in a trash can. He pulled out a steak and started to eat it. + +"Spot, no!" Lily said. "That's not your treat. That's yucky. Drop it, Spot, drop it." + +But Spot did not drop it. He growled and held on to the steak. He did not want to share it with anyone. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said. "He thinks the steak is his. He is being greedy. We have to get it from him." + +But how could they get the steak from Spot? He was bigger and stronger than them. And he had sharp teeth. They needed a plan. They looked around and saw a big stick. They had an idea. + +"Look, Spot, look," Lily said. She picked up the stick and waved it in the air. "A new toy. Do you want to play with it?" + +Spot looked at Lily and the stick. He liked to play with sticks. He dropped the steak and ran towards Lily. Lily threw the stick and Spot chased it. Ben quickly grabbed the steak and threw it back in the trash can. + +"Good job, Ben," Lily said. "You saved the steak." + +"Good job, Lily," Ben said. "You tricked Spot." + +They hugged each other and laughed. Spot came back with the stick and wagged his tail. He did not mind losing the steak. He had his friends and his toy. He was happy. He licked Lily and Ben and they petted him. + +"Sorry, Spot," Lily said. "We love you, but you can't eat steak from the trash. It's bad for you. We have better treats for you at home." + +"Yes, we do," Ben said. "Come on, let's go home. And don't forget your whistle. Maybe we can teach you another trick." + +They took the whistle and the stick and walked home with Spot. They were a friendly team. They had fun and learned together. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They see a big oven with a glass door. They want to see what is inside. + +"Look, Ben, there is a cake in the oven!" Anna says.

They liked to slide on the big slide. They did not yield to their fear. They had fun. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has a vest. The vest is red and blue. Tim and Sam think the vest is ugly. + +"Look at that dog!" Tim says. "It has a silly vest!" + +"Let's go and touch it!" Sam says. "Maybe it is soft!" + +They run to the dog. The dog does not like them. It growls and shows its teeth. Tim and Sam are scared. + +"Go away!" the dog barks. "This is my vest! I like it!" + +The dog bites Sam's hand. Sam cries. Tim runs to get help. He finds a lady. The lady is the dog's owner. + +"Help! Help!" Tim says. "Your dog bit my friend!" + +The lady is sorry. She runs to Sam. She takes the dog away. She says sorry to Sam. She gives him a band-aid. + +"Are you okay?" Tim asks Sam. + +Sam nods. He is still sad. He does not like the dog. + +"Let's go home," Sam says. "I don't want to play here anymore." + +Tim and Sam go home. They hug each other. They are still friends. They do not like ugly vests. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play together, but sometimes they were naughty. One day, they saw a big gift under the tree. It was for their birthday. + +"Who is it from?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see!" Tom said. + +They ran to the gift and tore the paper. Inside was a big teddy bear. It was soft and brown and had a red bow. + +"Wow, it's so cute!" Lily said. She hugged the teddy bear. + +"Can I see it?" Tom asked. + +He reached for the teddy bear, but Lily pulled it away. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. + +She held the teddy bear tight. Tom was angry. He wanted to see the teddy bear too. + +He poked Lily in the arm. "Give it to me!" he said. + +Lily poked him back. "No, go away!" she said. + +They poked each other harder and harder. They started to cry and shout. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise. They came to the living room. They saw the torn paper, the teddy bear, and the twins poking each other. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. + +"You are being very naughty!" Dad said. + +They took the teddy bear from Lily and the twins. They looked at the tag. It said: "To Tom and Lily, happy birthday!

Lily always brought her favorite toy, a red bunny, with her. + +One day, they went to a new place. It was a big building with many screens. Mom said they were going to watch a cartoon. Lily loved cartoons. They made her laugh and smile. She wondered what cartoon they would see. + +They bought some popcorn and sat in a big room. The lights went down and the screen turned on. Lily saw a red car with a funny face. It was talking to a blue car and a yellow car. They were friends and they had adventures. Lily liked the red car.

They laugh and throw leaves at each other. + +"Look, a stick!" Mia says. She picks up a long stick and waves it. "I am a fairy. I can make magic with my stick." + +"What magic can you do?" Ben asks. He wants to see Mia's magic. + +"I can make you feel smelly!" Mia says. She points her stick at Ben and says, "Smelly, smelly, smelly!" + +Ben sniffs himself. He does not smell anything. He thinks Mia is joking. He laughs and says, "You are a silly fairy. Your magic does not work." + +But then, a dog comes to the pile of leaves. The dog is dirty and smelly. It smells like mud and poop. The dog likes the pile of leaves. It jumps in and rolls around. It shakes its fur and sprays leaves and dirt everywhere. + +Ben and Mia feel something wet and smelly on their faces. They look at the dog. The dog wags its tail and licks them. Ben and Mia scream and run away. They are covered in smelly dirt. + +"Your magic did work!" Ben says to Mia. "You made the dog feel smelly and come to us!" + +"I did not mean to do that!" Mia says. "I was just playing!" + +They run to the water fountain and wash their faces. They still smell a little bit, but they do not mind. They are still friends. They laugh and hug each other.

Lily said, pulling the doll back. + +"Mine!" Tom said, yanking the doll harder. + +"Mine!" Lily said, crying. + +They both pulled and pulled until the doll's head came off.

She saw the broken doll, the missing ball and the two children. She was very angry and sad. + +"What did you do?" Mom asked, frowning. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and said nothing. They knew they were in trouble. + +Mom took the doll and the ball away from them. She said they had to go to their rooms and think about what they did. She said they could not play with their toys for a long time. She said they had to learn to share and be nice. + +Tom and Lily went to their rooms, feeling sorry and scared. They wished they had not fought over the doll. They wished they had not broken it. They wished they had not lost the ball. They wished they had been good. But it was too late. They had no toys, no fun and no mom to hug. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls, and books. + +One day, they find a shiny light in the grass. It is round and yellow. It makes a funny sound. Tom and Lily are curious. They pick up the light and look at it. + +"Wow, what is this?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a star," Lily says. + +"A star? But stars are in the sky, not in the park," Tom says. + +"Maybe it fell down. Maybe it is lost," Lily says. + +"Maybe we should help it. Maybe we should bury it," Tom says. + +"Bury it? Why?" Lily asks. + +"So it can be safe and warm. So it can go back to the sky later," Tom says. + +"Okay, let's bury it. But where?" Lily asks. + +They look around. They see a big tree. They see a hole under the tree. They think it is a good place to bury the light. + +They run to the tree. They dig the hole deeper. They put the light in the hole. They cover it with dirt. They pat the dirt gently. + +"There, we buried the light. Now it is happy," Tom says. + +"Yes, we did a good thing. We are good friends," Lily says. + +They hug each other. They smile. They are proud. They are popular. The other kids in the park see them. They want to play with them. They want to see the light. They want to be their friends. Tom and Lily are happy. They share their toys. They have fun. They forget about the light. They don't know that the light is not a star. They don't know that the light is a beep. They don't know that the light is a bomb. +Tom and Jen like to play in the park. They see a big hill with a hole. They want to see what is inside. They run to the hill and go in the hole. It is a cave! + +The cave is dark and cool. They can hear water and bats. They feel scared and excited. They hold hands and walk in the cave. They see shiny rocks and funny shapes. They touch the rocks and rub them. They make a pile of rocks to take home. + +But then they hear a loud roar. It is a bear! The bear lives in the cave. The bear is angry and hungry. It sees Tom and Jen and runs to them. Tom and Jen scream and run to the hole. They drop the rocks and run fast. They get out of the cave and run to the park. They are safe and happy. + +They tell their mom and dad about the cave and the bear. Their mom and dad hug them and say they are brave. They say they should not go in the cave again.

She walked to the baby. She said hi in a soft voice. The baby looked at Sara. The baby smiled and cooed. Sara smiled back. She touched the baby's hand. The baby's hand was soft and warm. + +"Hello, baby. You are very small and cute. I am Sara. I am a big girl. I can help Mom. Do you want to be my friend?" Sara said. + +The baby giggled.

They all had a good day. +Lily likes to sort her toys. She has a big box with many toys. She puts the dolls in one corner, the cars in another corner, the blocks in a third corner, and the animals in a fourth corner. She is happy when she sorts her toys. She likes to see them in neat piles. + +One day, Lily has a new toy. It is a weird toy. It is not a doll, or a car, or a block, or an animal. It is a green ball with eyes, ears, and a mouth.

She tries to put it with the cars, but it says "I am not a car". She tries to put it with the blocks, but it says "I am not a block". She tries to put it with the animals, but it says "I am not an animal". + +Lily is confused. She does not like the weird toy. She wants to sort it, but she does not know how. She is sad and angry. She wants to throw the weird toy away. But then, the weird toy says "I am your friend". It gives Lily a big smile. It says "I can play with you and make you laugh". It sings a silly song and makes Lily giggle. Lily looks at the weird toy. She sees its smile. She feels its softness. She hears its voice. She thinks maybe the weird toy is not so bad. She thinks maybe she can like the weird toy. She thinks maybe she can make a new pile for the weird toy. She thinks maybe she can call it a friend toy. She smiles back at the weird toy. She says "You are my friend". She hugs the weird toy. She is happy. She likes to sort her toys, but she also likes to have a friend. +Lily loved to play with her train. It was red and shiny and made a loud noise when she pushed it on the floor. She liked to pretend that it was going to faraway places and meeting new friends. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, we have to go to the store. Can you put your train away and get your coat?" Lily nodded and ran to her room. She put her train on the shelf and kissed it goodbye. "Don't worry, train, I will be back soon," she said. + +Lily and her mom walked to the store. They saw many things, like cars and dogs and flowers. Lily wanted to stop and look at everything, but her mom said, "Hurry, Lily, we have to get some milk and bread and eggs."

"It is a nice train, Lily, but you already have a train at home. Remember? The red one that you love so much. You don't need another train, do you?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked the blue train, but she loved her red train more. She remembered how she had kissed it goodbye and promised to return. She shook her head. "No, mom, I don't need another train. I want to go back to my train. Can we go now?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Yes, Lily, we can go. You are a very good girl. I am proud of you." They bought the milk and bread and eggs and walked back home. Lily was happy. She couldn't wait to see her train again and tell it about her adventure. She knew her train was waiting for her and missed her too. She ran to her room and took her train off the shelf. She hugged it and said, "I'm back, train! I love you!"

They liked to match the colors of their blocks and cars. Sam had a big cart that he used to carry his toys. Lily wanted to use the cart too, but Sam did not want to share. + +"Sam, can I have the cart?" Lily asked. + +"No, it is mine. Go away!" Sam said. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She tried to grab the cart from Sam, but he pushed her away. The cart tipped over and all the toys fell out. Some of the toys broke and some of the toys rolled away. + +"Oh no, look what you did!" Sam shouted. + +Lily started to cry. She did not mean to make a mess. She just wanted to play with the cart. + +"That was terrible!" a voice said. + +Sam and Lily looked up and saw their mom.

I love you both." mom said. + +The end. +Lily was sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. Mommy said she had to stay in bed and drink water. Mommy took a thermometer from the store and put it in Lily's mouth. The thermometer beeped and showed a number. + +"Your fever is high, Lily. You need some medicine to feel better," Mommy said. + +Lily did not like medicine. It tasted bad and made her face scrunch up. She shook her head and spat out the thermometer. + +"No, Mommy, no medicine! I want to play with my toys!" Lily said. + +Mommy sighed and picked up the thermometer. She wiped it with a cloth and put it in a drawer. + +"Lily, you have to listen to Mommy. Medicine will help you get well. Playing with your toys will make you more sick. You have to be wise and do what is good for you," Mommy said. + +Lily pouted and crossed her arms. She did not want to be wise. She wanted to have fun. She looked at her toys on the shelf and wished she could play with them. + +Mommy saw Lily's sad eyes and smiled. She took a book from the shelf and sat on the bed. + +"How about I read you a story, Lily? A story about a wise princess who saved her kingdom from a dragon. Would you like that?"

Some countries are near, some are far," Anna explains. + +"How do you know that?" Ben wonders. + +"I read it in a book. Do you want to examine the map with me? We can learn more about the countries," Anna suggests. + +"Okay, let's examine the map. It looks fun," Ben agrees. + +They sit on the floor and look at the map.

They see countries with mountains and snow, countries with deserts and camels, countries with forests and animals, countries with oceans and islands. + +"Wow, there are so many countries. They are all different and beautiful. I wish we could visit them all," Anna says. + +"Me too. Maybe when we grow up, we can travel to the countries. We can meet new people and try new things.

You are still a good player. But you should be humble. You should not boast. You should be kind to others. Then, they will be kind to you." + +Tim listens to Sam. He wipes his tears. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are right. I was wrong. I was not humble. I was not kind. I am sorry. Will you forgive me?" Sam smiles. He says, "Of course, I forgive you. You are my friend. Come on, let's play some more. Maybe we can score together." Tim smiles too. He says, "Yes, let's play some more. Maybe we can have fun together." They hug. They go back to the game. They play with the other kids. They are humble and kind. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing hide and seek in the garden. Tom was the seeker and Lily was the hider.

He saw a small bird on a branch, a red ball on the grass, and a yellow flower in a pot. He did not see Lily. He walked closer to the bush and peeked behind it. + +"Boo!" Lily shouted and jumped out of the bush. She scared Tom and made him fall on the ground. She laughed and clapped her hands. "I win, I win, you did not find me!" + +Tom was not happy. He felt angry and sad. He got up and dusted himself off. He said to Lily, "That was not fair, you cheated. You were not hiding, you were just waiting to scare me. You are a bad hider and a bad friend." + +Lily was surprised and hurt. She did not mean to cheat or to be a bad friend. She thought it was a fun game and a funny joke. She said to Tom, "I'm sorry, I did not cheat. I was hiding, you just did not see me. It was a joke, not a mean thing. You are a good seeker and a good friend. Please don't be mad at me." + +Tom looked at Lily and saw that she was sorry. He realized that he was too harsh and ignorant. He did not understand that Lily was just having fun and did not want to hurt him. He felt sorry and ashamed. He said to Lily, "I'm sorry, too. I was too angry and ignorant. I did not understand that you were joking and having fun. You are a good hider and a good friend. Please forgive me." + +Lily smiled and hugged Tom. She said to him, "I forgive you, and I'm glad you are not mad at me. You are a good friend, too. Can we play again?" + +Tom nodded and smiled back. He said to Lily, "Yes, we can play again.

Do you want to play with me?" + +The girl smiled and said, "Yes, thank you. You are very kind. What is your name?" Lily said, "I'm Lily. What is yours?" The girl said, "I'm Emma.

She had a big yard with grass and flowers and a fence. She felt safe in her yard, because no one could hurt her or take her away. + +One day, Lily saw a tiny black dot on her fur. She tried to lick it off, but it jumped away. It was a flea, a bad bug that made her itch and bite.

She put the book and the jar of jam in her backpack and got on the bus with her mom. On the way, the bus hit a big bump and Anna heard a loud noise. She looked in her backpack and saw that the jar of jam was broken. The jam was all over her book and her backpack. + +Anna felt very sad and started to cry. She did not want to ruin her book and her jam. She did not know what to do. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Anna. It was an accident. We can clean your backpack and get a new jar of jam from grandma. Maybe she can help us fix your book too. Grandma loves you and she will be happy to see you." + +Anna nodded and wiped her tears. She hoped grandma could help her. She still wanted to show her the book and tell her the story. She loved grandma and she loved her jam. She hoped the bus would get to grandma's house soon. +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play with toys and books and crayons. But today it was raining and they could not go outside. They felt bored. + +"Mom, we have nothing to do!" Lily said. + +"Mom, can we watch TV?" Tom said. + +Mom was busy in the kitchen. She said, "No, TV is not good for you. Why don't you seat on the floor and draw something? I have some paper and pencils in the drawer." + +Lily and Tom went to the drawer and took out the paper and pencils. They seat on the floor and started to draw. Lily drew a flower. Tom drew a car. They showed each other their drawings and smiled. + +"Look, Mom, I drew a flower!" Lily said. + +"Look, Mom, I drew a car!" Tom said. + +Mom came to see their drawings. She said, "Wow, you are very good at drawing! I am proud of you. You see, you can have fun even when it is raining. You just need to use your imagination and creativity." + +Lily and Tom hugged Mom. They said, "Thank you, Mom. You are right. Drawing is fun. We are not bored anymore." + +Moral: Drawing is a fun and creative activity that can help you overcome boredom. +Lily was very sad. She had to go to the hospital for an operation. She did not like the hospital. It was big and cold and scary. She did not want to leave her home and her toys and her mommy and daddy. + +"Will it hurt?" she asked her mommy, holding her hand. + +"No, sweetie, it won't hurt. The doctor will give you some medicine to make you sleep. When you wake up, you will feel much better. You will be able to walk and run and play again, just like before." Her mommy smiled and kissed her. + +Lily tried to be brave, but she was still scared. She saw a lot of people in white clothes and machines that beeped and flashed. She saw a big blue door with a sign that said "Operation Room". She did not want to go there. + +"Mommy, I don't want to go!" she cried. + +"Shh, it's okay, Lily. I'm here with you. Look, there's your friend, Ben. He had the same operation as you. He's fine now. He can walk and run and play again, just like before." Her mommy pointed to a boy who was sitting in a wheelchair. He had a big smile and a bandage on his leg. He waved at Lily. + +"Hi, Lily! Don't be afraid. The operation is easy. The doctor is very nice. He gave me a blue balloon and a sticker. You can have one too. You will be fine. You will be my friend, right?" He said. + +Lily looked at Ben. He seemed happy and friendly. He had a blue balloon and a sticker. She liked blue. She liked balloons and stickers. Maybe the operation was not so bad. Maybe she could be his friend. + +"Hi, Ben. Yes, I will be your friend. Can I see your balloon and sticker?" She said. + +"Sure, here you go. They are blue, like the door. Blue is my favorite color. What's yours?" He said. + +Lily smiled. She took the balloon and sticker. She liked blue too. She liked Ben. She felt a little less scared. + +"Blue is my favorite color too. Thank you, Ben. You are very nice." She said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are very nice too. Come on, let's go to the operation room. It will be over soon. Then we can walk and run and play together, just like before." He said. + +Lily nodded. She held Ben's hand. She held her mommy's hand. She walked to the big blue door. She was ready for the operation. She was ready to be better. She was ready to be Ben's friend. +Tommy was very excited. It was his birthday and he saw a big present on the table. He wanted to open it right away, but his mom said no. + +"Wait, Tommy. You have to eat your cake first. Then you can open your present." Mom said. + +"But I want it now!" Tommy cried. He did not like cake. He only liked candy and toys. + +"Be patient, Tommy. It's not polite to open your present before your guests arrive. They will bring you more presents too." Mom said. + +Tommy did not care. He was frustrated. He did not want to wait. He did not want more presents. He only wanted the big present on the table. He thought it was a bike or a robot or a dinosaur. + +When mom was not looking, Tommy ran to the table. He grabbed the big present and tore off the paper. He was very happy. He saw a shiny red bike. He smiled. He jumped on the bike and started to pedal. + +But he did not see the cat. The cat was sleeping under the table. The cat was scared by the noise and the bike. The cat jumped out and scratched Tommy's face. Tommy screamed. He fell off the bike and hit his head. He cried. He bled. + +Mom heard the scream and the crash. She ran to the table. She saw Tommy on the floor. She saw the cat run away. She saw the bike and the paper. She was angry. She was sad. + +"Tommy, what did you do? You were not supposed to open your present. You were not supposed to ride your bike inside. You hurt yourself and the cat. You ruined your birthday." Mom said. + +Tommy did not answer. He only cried. He was hurt. He was sorry. He wished he had listened to mom. He wished he had waited. He wished he had covered his present with paper again. He wished he had a happy birthday. +Lila liked to sort things. She had a big box of thread in many colors. She wanted to make a pretty picture with the thread. She took out the thread and put them in piles by color. She had red, blue, yellow, green, pink, and purple. + +She looked at the piles and thought. What could she make with the thread? She decided to make a rainbow. She took a big piece of paper and a glue stick. She glued the red thread on the top of the paper. Then she glued the orange thread below the red. She did the same with the yellow, green, blue, and purple. She made a big curve with the thread. It looked like a rainbow. + +She was very happy with her picture. She showed it to her mom. "Look, mom, I made a rainbow with thread!" she said. + +Mom smiled and hugged her. "That's very pretty, Lila. You did a good job sorting the thread by color. How did you learn to do that?" she asked. + +Lila shrugged. "I just like to sort things. It's fun. Can I make another picture?" she asked. + +Mom nodded. "Sure, you can. But first, let's hang your rainbow on the wall. It will brighten up our room." she said. + +They hung the picture on the wall and admired it. Lila felt proud of her work. She wondered what else she could make with thread. She had many ideas in her head. She was ready to sort and glue again. +Tom is a young boy who likes to swim. He has a brown dog named Spot who likes to swim too. They go to the lake with Mom and Dad on a sunny day. + +Tom and Spot run to the water and jump in. They splash and play and have fun. Tom sees a big fish under the water. He wants to see it better. He takes a deep breath and dives down. + +Spot sees Tom dive and follows him. He wants to catch the fish. He swims fast and barks under the water. The fish is scared and swims away. Tom and Spot chase the fish, but they cannot catch it. + +Tom and Spot come up for air. They are happy and tired. They swim back to Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad hug them and give them towels. They say they are proud of Tom and Spot for diving so well. Tom and Spot smile and wag their tails. They love to dive. +Lily and Tom were playing with their crayons and pencils. They liked to draw animals and flowers on their papers. Lily had a red crayon and a blue pencil. Tom had a yellow crayon and a green pencil. + +"Look, Lily, I can mix my crayon and my pencil and make a new color!" Tom said. He rubbed his yellow crayon on his paper, then drew over it with his green pencil. He made a brown spot. "It looks like mud!" + +Lily wanted to try too. She rubbed her red crayon on her paper, then drew over it with her blue pencil. She made a purple spot. "It looks like a grape!" + +They both laughed and made more spots with different colors. They mixed their crayons and pencils and had fun. + +But then, Tom had a foolish idea. He wanted to see what would happen if he mixed his crayon and his pencil in his mouth. He put his yellow crayon and his green pencil in his mouth and bit them. He made a face and spit them out. + +"Yuck! That tastes bad!" Tom said. He felt a pain in his teeth and his tongue. He started to cry. + +Lily saw what Tom did and shook her head. She knew that crayons and pencils were not for eating. They were for drawing. She gave Tom a glass of water and a hug. + +"Tom, you are silly. You should not mix crayons and pencils in your mouth. They are not food. They are toys. Next time, only mix them on your paper, okay?" Lily said. + +Tom nodded and said sorry. He drank the water and felt better. He learned his lesson. He did not mix crayons and pencils in his mouth again. He only mixed them on his paper with Lily. They made more drawings and had more fun. +Ben and Mia liked to play with bricks. They had many bricks of different colors and shapes. They could build houses, towers, bridges and more. They had fun making new things every day. + +One day, they saw a big fire in the sky. It was very bright and hot. They heard loud noises and saw smoke. They were scared and ran to their mom. Mom said it was a rocket. A rocket was a big thing that could fly very high and fast. It had fire at the bottom to help it go up. + +Ben and Mia wanted to make a rocket with their bricks. They thought it would be fun to see it fly. They took some red bricks and stacked them in a cone shape. They put some yellow bricks at the bottom to make the fire. They put a blue brick on top to make the nose. They were proud of their rocket. + +They asked mom if they could burn their rocket. Mom said no. She said burning was dangerous and could hurt them and their bricks. She said their rocket was very nice, but it was only for pretend. She said they could not make real fire with their bricks. + +Ben and Mia were sad. They wanted to see their rocket fly. But they listened to mom. They knew she was right. They did not want to get hurt or break their bricks. They decided to play with their rocket in a different way. They pretended it was flying in the sky. They made zoom and boom sounds with their mouths. They had fun with their ordinary bricks. +Lila and Tom are playing with blocks. They like to make a big stack of blocks and then knock it down. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, I made a tower!" Lila says, showing Tom her stack of blocks. "It is very tall and pretty." + +"That is a good tower," Tom says. "But I can make a better one. Watch me." He starts to remove some blocks from Lila's stack and adds them to his own. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lila says. "Those are my blocks. You are making my tower smaller and your tower bigger. That is not fair." + +"But I need more blocks," Tom says. "My tower is not big enough. Your blocks are useful for me." + +"No, they are not," Lila says. "They are useful for me. You have your own blocks. Use them. Give me back my blocks." + +They start to pull and tug on the blocks, trying to get them from each other. They are not happy. They are angry. + +Then they hear a loud crash. They turn around and see that their stacks of blocks have fallen down. The blocks are everywhere on the floor. They are not pretty anymore. They are messy. + +They look at each other and feel sorry. They know they were wrong. They say sorry to each other and hug. + +"Let's play together," Lila says. "We can share the blocks and make a new stack. A bigger and better one. A stack for both of us." + +"OK," Tom says. "That sounds fun. I like to play with you. You are my friend." + +They smile and pick up the blocks. They start to build a new stack of blocks. A stack that they both like. A stack that makes them happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They think it is a car. + +"Let's drive the car!" Anna says. + +"OK!" Ben says. "I will be the driver. You will be the passenger." + +They climb into the box and pretend to drive. Ben makes noises like a car. Anna looks out of the window. + +"Look, there is a dog!" Anna says. "He is sad. He has no home." + +"Can we help him?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, we can!" Anna says. "We are compassionate. We care about animals." + +They stop the car and get out of the box. They walk to the dog. He is dirty and hungry. He wags his tail when he sees them. + +"Hello, dog!" Anna says. "Do you want to be our friend?" + +The dog licks her hand. Anna smiles. She sees a scratch on his arm. + +"Ouch! You are hurt!" Anna says. "We need to fix your arm." + +She runs to the garage and brings a band-aid. She puts it on the dog's arm. + +"There, now you are better!" Anna says. + +"Thank you!" the dog barks. + +Ben hugs the dog. He says, "You are a good dog. Do you want to come with us?" + +The dog nods. He says, "Yes, please! I want to be your pet." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They say, "Yay! We have a new friend!" + +They take the dog to the car. They drive to their house. They show the dog to their parents. Their parents are compassionate too. They let the dog stay with them. + +Anna and Ben name the dog Max. They play with him every day. They are a happy family. The end. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy train. They liked to pull the train along the floor and make it go fast. Lila had a small red car that she put on the tip of the train. She wanted to see if it would stay on or fall off. + +"Look, Ben, my car is on the train!" she said. + +"Wow, that's cool, Lila. But be careful, it might fall off if you go too fast," Ben said. + +Lila did not listen. She pulled the train faster and faster. She liked to see the car wobble on the tip of the train. She thought it was fun. + +But then, the train hit a bump on the floor. The car flew off the tip of the train and hit the wall. It made a loud noise and broke into pieces. + +"Oh no, Lila, your car!" Ben said. + +Lila started to cry. She ran to the wall and picked up the pieces of her car. She was very sad. + +"I'm sorry, Lila. I told you to be careful," Ben said. + +"I know, Ben. I was silly. I should have listened to you," Lila said. + +They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They decided to play with the train again, but this time, they did not put anything on the tip of the train. They learned their lesson. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But they do not like to clean up after they play. They are careless. They leave their toys and shoes everywhere. + +One day, Mom tells them to clean up their room. She says she will lock the door if they do not listen. Sara and Ben do not listen. They keep playing and making a mess. Mom gets angry. She locks the door and goes to the kitchen. + +Sara and Ben hear the lock. They stop playing. They want to go out. They try to open the door. But it is locked. They knock on the door. They shout for Mom. + +"Mom, Mom, let us out!" they cry. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the door. She says, "Why should I let you out? You did not clean up your room. You were careless. You have to learn to be tidy." + +"Please, Mom, we are sorry. We will clean up our room. We will not be careless again. Please, let us out!" they beg. + +Mom thinks for a while. She says, "OK, I will let you out. But you have to promise to clean up your room. And you have to find your shoes. You cannot go out without your shoes." + +Sara and Ben promise. Mom unlocks the door. Sara and Ben run out. They hug Mom and say thank you. Then they go back to their room. They clean up their toys. They look for their shoes. They find them under the bed. They put them on. They are happy. They have learned their lesson. They will not be careless again. +Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to open and close the doors of the cabinet. They found many things inside, like pots and pans and spoons and forks. + +"Look, Anna, I found a big knife!" Ben said, holding a shiny metal thing. + +"Be careful, Ben, that is not for playing. That can hurt you!" Anna said, feeling scared. + +"No, it is fine. See, I can sit on the cabinet and wave the knife like this!" Ben said, climbing on the counter. + +"Ben, no, stop! You will fall!" Anna said, trying to pull him down. + +But it was too late. Ben slipped and fell from the cabinet. The knife cut his arm and made a lot of red blood. Ben cried and cried. Anna screamed and screamed. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. They saw Ben on the floor and Anna next to him. They were very angry and very sad. + +"Ben, what have you done? How could you be so silly? You could have died!" Mom said, picking him up and wrapping a cloth around his arm. + +"Anna, why didn't you stop him? Why didn't you call us?" Dad said, holding her hand and taking her to the living room. + +They took Ben to the hospital and Anna to the grandma's house. They did not play in the kitchen anymore. They did not have fun anymore. They learned a hard lesson. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big pink unicorn with a shiny horn. Max had a green dinosaur with a long tail. They were making noises and pretending to be in a magical forest. + +"Roar!" Max said, moving his dinosaur towards Lily's unicorn. "I am a scary dinosaur and I will eat you!" + +"No, no!" Lily said, holding her unicorn close. "You are a nice dinosaur and you are my friend!" + +Max laughed and nodded. He liked to play with Lily. She was flexible and fun. She could pretend to be anything. + +"Okay, I am a nice dinosaur and you are my friend," Max said. "But can I touch your horn? It looks so pretty!" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She liked to share with Max. He was gentle and kind. He always asked before he touched. + +"Sure, you can touch my horn," Lily said. "But be careful, it is sharp!" + +Max reached out and touched the horn with his finger. It felt smooth and hard. He liked how it sparkled in the light. + +"Wow, your horn is amazing!" Max said. "It reminds me of a star!" + +Lily giggled and hugged her unicorn. She was happy that Max liked her horn. She liked his tail too. It reminded her of a snake. + +"Thank you, Max!" Lily said. "Your tail is amazing too! It reminds me of a snake!" + +Max grinned and wagged his tail. He was happy that Lily liked his tail. He liked her horn too. It reminded him of a star. + +They continued to play with their toys, making up stories and having fun. They were flexible and reminded each other of many things. They were the best of friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Lily had a big pot and Ben had a wooden spoon. They put some water and salt in the pot and put it on the stove. + +"Ben, can you bring me some carrots?" Lily asked. "They are in the fridge." + +"OK, Lily," Ben said. He opened the fridge and looked for the carrots. He saw a big bag of them and took one out. He closed the fridge and ran back to the stove. + +"Here you go, Lily," he said, handing her the carrot. "What are we making?" + +"We are making soup," Lily said. She chopped the carrot with a plastic knife and put it in the pot. "We need some more things. Can you bring me some onions?" + +"OK, Lily," Ben said. He opened the fridge again and looked for the onions. He saw a small basket of them and took one out. He closed the fridge and ran back to the stove. + +"Here you go, Lily," he said, handing her the onion. "What else do we need?" + +"We need some chicken," Lily said. She looked around and saw their dog, Spot, lying on the floor. Spot was a loyal dog and always stayed with them. "Spot, can you bring me some chicken?" she asked. + +Spot wagged his tail and barked. He got up and ran to the pantry. He opened the door with his paw and looked for the chicken. He saw a can of it and took it in his mouth. He closed the door and ran back to the stove. + +"Here you go, Lily," he said, dropping the can on the floor. "Woof, woof!" + +"Thank you, Spot," Lily said. She opened the can with a can opener and put the chicken in the pot. "We have everything we need. Now we just have to wait for the soup to be ready." + +Lily, Ben, and Spot sat on the floor and waited. They smelled the soup and it made them hungry. They talked and laughed and played. They were happy. They were a team. +Lily loved lollipops. She always asked her mom for one when they went to the store. But mom said no. She said lollipops were bad for her teeth and made her sick. Lily was sad and angry. She wanted a lollipop so much. + +One day, they went to the park. Lily saw a man selling lollipops. He was old and had a big bag of them. Lily ran to him and pointed at the lollipops. She said, "I want one! I want one!" She did not say please. She did not say thank you. She demanded a lollipop. + +The man smiled and gave her one. He said, "Here you go, little girl. Enjoy your lollipop. But be careful. It is very sticky and sweet. It might attract some bees." Lily did not listen. She took the lollipop and licked it. It was yummy. She was happy. + +But then, she heard a buzz. She looked up and saw a big bee flying near her. It smelled the lollipop and wanted some. It flew closer and closer to Lily. Lily was scared. She screamed and dropped the lollipop. The bee landed on it and started to eat it. Lily ran to her mom and cried. She said, "Mom, help me! The bee took my lollipop!" + +Mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. But you should have listened to me and the man. Lollipops are not good for you. They are bad for your teeth and make you sick. And they also make bees come. Next time, ask for something else. Something healthy and safe. Like a banana or an apple." Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I don't want lollipops anymore. I want a banana or an apple." Mom smiled and said, "That's a good girl. Let's go and get one." They walked away from the park, leaving the bee and the lollipop behind. +Sara and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. Sara wanted to make a big castle with all the blocks, but Ben wanted some blocks for his bridge. + +"Give me more blocks, Sara!" Ben demanded. He tried to grab some blocks from Sara's pile. + +"No, Ben! These are my blocks! Go find your own!" Sara shouted. She pushed Ben away and hugged her blocks. + +They started to fight and yell. They did not hear their mom calling them from the kitchen. + +Suddenly, the floor shook. The blocks fell down. The pictures on the wall moved. The lamp swung. It was an earthquake! + +Sara and Ben stopped fighting. They felt scared. They ran to their mom in the kitchen. + +"Mommy, mommy, what's happening?" they cried. + +Mommy hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. It's just an earthquake. It will be over soon. We have to stay calm and ready." + +She took them to a safe place under the table. She gave them a flashlight and a blanket. She told them to hold hands and sing a song. + +They sang their favorite song until the shaking stopped. They felt better. + +Mommy checked the radio and said, "The earthquake is over. We are safe. We are lucky. Some people have no home or water or food. We have to help them." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for the people who lost everything. They wanted to help. + +They went back to the living room. They saw their blocks on the floor. They did not care about their castle or bridge anymore. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They said, "Let's share our blocks. Let's make something new. Let's make something for the people who need it." +Tom loves golf. He has a small golf stick and a small ball. He likes to hit the ball with the stick and see how far it goes. He plays golf in the yard with his dad. + +One day, Tom sees a big golf stick and a big ball in the garage. He wants to try them. He thinks he can hit the ball very far with the big stick. He takes them to the yard and tries to swing the big stick. + +But the big stick is too heavy for Tom. He can't lift it high. He can't hit the ball well. He feels sad. He thinks he is not good at golf. + +His dad sees him and comes to help. He tells Tom that the big stick and the big ball are for grown-ups. He says that Tom is still growing and he will be able to use them when he is bigger. He says that Tom is great at golf with his small stick and his small ball. He says that he is proud of Tom. + +Tom feels happy. He hugs his dad and thanks him. He gives back the big stick and the big ball. He takes his small stick and his small ball and plays golf with his dad. He has fun. He loves golf. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big basket on a bench. It had many fruits and cookies inside. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "Someone left a yummy basket for us!" + +"Let's go and see!" Ben said. They ran to the bench and opened the basket. + +But when they looked inside, they saw something disgusting. There were worms and bugs crawling on the fruits and cookies. They smelled bad and made noises. + +"Yuck!" Lily and Ben said. They dropped the basket and ran away. + +A man was hiding behind a tree. He was watching them. He had put the worms and bugs in the basket as a prank. He thought it was funny to scare the children. + +But he did not see the big dog that came from behind. The dog smelled the basket and liked it. He jumped on the bench and ate the fruits and cookies with the worms and bugs. + +The man saw the dog and screamed. He ran away from the park. + +Lily and Ben heard him scream. They turned around and saw the dog. The dog was happy and wagged his tail. He smiled at them. + +Lily and Ben smiled back. They thought the dog was nice and brave. They went to pet the dog and gave him a hug. They forgot about the disgusting basket. They had a new friend. +Anna liked to sing. She sang every day. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang happy songs, sad songs, silly songs, and fun songs. She sang to her toys, to her mom, to her dad, and to her cat. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom. She saw a big tree with many fruits. She wanted to try them. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I have some fruits?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, honey. But you have to ask the tree first. The tree is very kind. He gives fruits to everyone who sings to him." + +Anna was confused. She asked, "How can I sing to a tree? Trees don't have ears. Trees don't talk." + +Her mom said, "Trees can hear with their leaves. Trees can talk with their fruits. If you sing a nice song to the tree, he will give you a nice fruit. If you sing a mean song to the tree, he will give you a sour fruit. Try it and see." + +Anna thought for a moment. She decided to sing a nice song to the tree. She sang, "Hello, tree. You are so big and green. You have many fruits. They look so sweet and juicy. Thank you for sharing your fruits with me. You are a good tree." + +The tree heard Anna's song. He liked it very much. He gave her a big, red, shiny apple. Anna was happy. She said, "Thank you, tree. You are very kind. I like your apple. It is delicious." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "You see, Anna. Singing is a good way to make friends. Singing can make people and trees happy. Singing can also make you happy. You should always sing with a good heart." + +Anna nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I will always sing with a good heart. I love singing. I love you. I love the tree. And I love the apple." + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the park. One day, she saw a boy spinning around and around. She asked him, "Why are you spinning?" + +The boy said, "I'm spinning because it's fun! Do you want to try?" + +Lily tried spinning and she felt dizzy. Then, her mom called her for lunch. They had a delicious sandwich with incredible meat inside. Lily said, "Mom, this meat is so yummy!" + +Her mom replied, "I'm glad you like it, Lily. It's your favorite kind of meat." + +Lily smiled and said, "I had an incredible day today!" +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily.

They had so much fun playing on the swings and the slide. But when it started to rain, they had to end their playtime early and go home. + +Lily's mom was very proud of her because she was always so kind and modest. She always said "please" and "thank you" and never bragged about her toys or her abilities. Lily was happy to make her mom proud and promised to always be a good girl. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to eat waffles for breakfast because they were yummy and warm. One day, Lily's mom told her it was time to bathe. Lily didn't want to stop eating her waffle, but she knew she had to take a bath. + +After Lily finished her bath, she put on her unique pajamas with cute little animals on them. She crawled into bed and her mom read her a story. As she fell asleep, Lily dreamed about waffles and baths and how much fun they could be. +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily.

He thought he should have said something to make Jack feel better. + +Suddenly, an old man walked over to Sam. He said, "Did you see that automobile? I used to ride one when I was a boy."

It will be fun!" + +Sam and the old man drove around the block. Jack was waiting with a big grin on his face. As soon as he saw them, Jack jumped in and waved goodbye. Both Jack and Sam were so happy to have gone on an automobile ride. Sam was no longer ashamed, he was filled with joy. +The sun shone brightly on the beach. Two children, Sammy and Kara, were playing on the sand. Sammy had a bucket and a toy shovel and he was busy making a big sandcastle. + +Kara watched for a few minutes and then spotted something intriguing in the sand. She bent down and picked it up. + +"What is it?" Sammy asked. + +Kara held up a dull stone. "I think it's a rock," she said. + +Sammy took a closer look. "It's not quite complete," he said. + +Kara smiled. "Let's see if we can make it better," she said. + +The two children worked together and soon the rock was polished and shining.

She was only three years old, but she believed that the world was an amazing place! Every morning, she would look out the window and smile at all the sights and wonders. + +One day, she asked her mom where the world ended.

What a lovely adventure she had! +Tim and Lucy were two best friends. They always liked to visit the great park together with their friends.

Tim quickly grabbed onto another branch nearby, but Lucy wasn't so lucky. She fell to the ground and started to cry. + +Tim was very sad and he felt helpless.

Jill was so excited and smiled and said, "Look at yours too". But then, Jack said "Mine isn't as attractive as yours. I don't understand why yours looks so nice!" + +Jill thought for a minute and said,"It's because I take good care of it. I always put it away in the cupboard, never leave it outside, and I take it off before going to bed." + +Jack knew what to do and said, "OK, I'll do that too!" From that day, Jack and Jill took good care of their sweaters, and soon Jack's was just as attractive as Jill's. + +The moral of the story is: when you take good care of something, it will stay attractive and last longer! +Once upon a time there was a cute bear.

He splashed in the water and then filled up his buckets with it. Everyone was so happy and excited about the rain! + +After a while, Billy got tired and he dried off with a big, fluffy towel. Mommy hugged him and said, "Good job, Billy! You did a great job playing in the bathroom while it was raining." + +Billy was very proud of himself and went to bed with a smile on his face. +John was sad. He was sitting on a bench and his eyes were filled with tears. He was missing his friend, Billy. + +John had hurt his leg, and he was not able to play with Billy any more. + +His mother came and sat down beside him.

He should have talked with Maria instead of getting angry and scaring her away. + +Tom decided to make amends. He found Maria in the park the next day and apologised for his behaviour. Maria forgave him and they both had lots of fun on the bouncy patch. + +The moral of this story is to always use words to resolve conflicts. Making someone feel scared is never a good solution, so try to talk to them instead. That way, both of you will be happy and safe. +Andy was so glad when Grandpa said he could come over and visit. Grandpa's house had a special place that Andy really liked. + +When he arrived, he couldn't wait to get inside.

He had saved his money and was excited to get something special. But the price of the candy was too high, and the boy was disappointed. + +The boy's father said, "It's foolish to buy candy at that price. Ignore it and let's look for something else." + +The boy replied, "But I want it!" + +The father said, "What you want doesn't always mean it's best for you. The price we have to pay for something doesn't always tell us the true value of it. Let's look somewhere else for something better." + +So the boy ignored the high price and the two of them looked for something else. They found something that the boy liked and that cost much less than the candy. + +The moral to this story is that sometimes we need to ignore what looks good at first and remember that the price we pay doesn't always tell us the true value. +Once upon a time there was a fragile little bird.

He looked out the window and saw his new neighbor playing with a rake in the garden. + +The boy decided to go outside and join the neighbor. The neighbor showed the boy how to use the rake to tidy the garden and they had lots of fun together. + +When it was all done, the boy went back inside, ready to unpack his things.

The fox was just as scared as Mary. + +"Imagine if this fox could read," Mary said to her mommy. + +Her mommy smiled and said, "That would be really cool. Maybe it can use a book." + +The fox seemed to understand, because it ran away and kept looking back at them. + +When Mary and her mommy got home, Mary was excited to tell her daddy all about the fox. + +When they arrived, they found a book on the table. It was filled with stories about foxes. + +Mary was delighted and picked up the book.

The crane said: “Sure, try pulling me to the other side of the park!†+The boy took hold of the crane and began to pull. He pulled and pulled until finally, the crane moved! He was so strong! He pulled the crane all the way across the park, and everyone came to watch. + +The boy was exhausted, but he was so proud.
