They hid it under a bush and went to play on the swings. + +But when they came back, the acorn was gone. They looked everywhere, but they could not find it. They were very sad and frustrated. They asked the other kids if they saw the acorn, but no one knew. + +Then they saw a squirrel. It was holding the acorn in its mouth. It ran up a tree and disappeared. Tom and Lisa shouted and cried. They wanted their acorn back. They tried to climb the tree, but it was too high and slippery. + +They fell down and hurt themselves. They had scratches and bruises. They were very angry and hurt. They said they hated the squirrel and each other. They said they would never marry or play together again. They went home and never spoke to each other again. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a red car and Lily had a yellow doll.

They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tom and Lily fighting over the car. She was not happy. She took the car from them and put it on the shelf. "Stop fighting!" she said. "You need to share and be nice to each other!" + +Tom and Lily did not listen to Mom. They ignored her and kept arguing. They pointed at each other and said mean words. "You are a bad sister!" Tom said. "You are a bad brother!" Lily said. + +Mom was very sad and disappointed. She looked at Tom and Lily with a wide nose. She did not like their faces. She said, "If you cannot play nicely, you cannot play at all. Go to your rooms and think about what you did!" + +Tom and Lily did not want to go to their rooms. They wanted to play with the car. But Mom was serious and made them go.

They looked at the sky and saw many stars. They were bright and shiny. + +Lily had a ball. She wanted to throw it to a star. She said, "I can throw my ball very high. I can touch a star with my ball." Max said, "No, you can't. The stars are too far. You can't throw that high." + +Lily was angry. She said, "Yes, I can. Watch me." She threw her ball as hard as she could. But the ball did not go to a star. It went to a window. The window broke. Lily and Max heard a loud noise. They saw a man come out of the house. He was not happy. He said, "Who broke my window? Who threw this ball?" + +Lily and Max were scared. They ran away. They hid behind a tree. They felt cold and sorry. They wished they did not throw the ball. They wished they did not fight. They wished they were warm and friendly. They said, "We are sorry. We are friends. We like the stars." They hugged each other. They hoped the man would not find them. They hoped the stars would forgive them. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had a pretty dress and long hair. Anna took Lily everywhere with her. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom and Lily. She saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She ran to the slide with Lily in her arms. But there was a boy on the slide. He was bigger than Anna and had a mean face. He said, "This is my slide. Go away!" + +Anna did not want to go away. She wanted to slide with Lily. She said, "No, this is for everyone. Let me slide!" The boy did not listen. He pushed Anna and Lily. Anna fell down and Lily flew out of her arms. Lily landed on the ground and her dress tore. Anna saw a big hole in Lily's dress and felt sad. + +She got up and ran to Lily. She picked her up and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are still my favorite doll." She looked at the boy and said, "You are mean. You hurt Lily. You are not nice." + +The boy did not care. He laughed and said, "Your doll is stupid. She is made of cloth and leather. She can't talk or think. She is not like me. I am intelligent. I can do anything I want." He grabbed Lily from Anna and threw her in the trash. He said, "There, now you have no doll. Go cry somewhere else." + +Anna was shocked and angry. She tried to get Lily back, but the boy was too strong. He pushed her away and went back to the slide. Anna felt helpless and alone. She cried and cried. She wished Lily was with her. She wished the boy would go away. She wished her mom would come and help her. But her mom was far away and did not see what happened. Anna had a very bad day. She lost her favorite doll and her friend. She learned that some people are mean and do not yield. She wished she could be more intelligent and brave. She wished she could have Lily back. +Lily was a little girl who loved her family very much. She had a photo of her mom, dad, and baby brother on her wall. She liked to look at it every night before she went to sleep. She would pray to God and thank him for her family and ask him to keep them safe and happy. + +One day, Lily was playing with her crayons and paper. She wanted to draw a picture of her family. She looked at the photo and tried to copy it. But she made a mistake. She drew a big red line across her dad's face. She was scared. She thought her dad would be angry if he saw it. She wanted to hide the photo. + +But then she remembered what her mom always told her. She said, "Lily, you have to be honest. If you do something wrong, you have to say sorry and try to fix it. God loves you when you are honest. He will help you and forgive you." + +Lily felt sorry for what she did. She decided to be honest. She took the photo and the crayons and went to her dad. She showed him the photo and said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I was drawing and I made a mistake. I didn't mean to hurt you. Can you forgive me?" + +Her dad looked at the photo and smiled. He hugged Lily and said, "Of course I forgive you, Lily. I love you very much. You are a good girl. You were honest and brave. That makes me very proud of you. And don't worry about the photo. We can get a new one. Or we can keep this one as a special memory." + +Lily was happy. She felt God's love in her heart. She thanked her dad and gave him a kiss. She learned that being honest is always the best thing to do. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They had a big box of toys. They wanted to sort the toys by color. Lily liked pink and Max liked blue. + +"Look, I found pink sunglasses!" Lily said. She put them on and smiled. "Now I can see everything pink!" + +"Let me try!" Max said. He grabbed the sunglasses from Lily. He put them on and frowned. "Everything is too dark. I don't like these sunglasses." + +"Give them back!" Lily said. She pulled the sunglasses from Max. "They are mine!" + +"No, they are mine!" Max said. He pulled the sunglasses from Lily. They both tugged and tugged. + +Suddenly, the sunglasses broke. They snapped in half. Lily and Max gasped. They both felt sad and sorry. + +A wise old lady was sitting on a bench nearby. She saw what happened. She walked over to Lily and Max. She had a kind smile. + +"Hello, children," she said. "Why are you fighting over these sunglasses?" + +Lily and Max looked at the broken sunglasses. They looked at each other. They felt ashamed. + +"We wanted to sort the toys by color," Lily said. "But we both liked the sunglasses." + +"And we broke them," Max said. "Now we can't use them." + +The wise old lady nodded. She took the broken sunglasses from them. She held them in her hands. + +"These sunglasses are not very useful," she said. "They only make you see one color. And they make everything dark. You can't see the beauty of the world with them." + +She pointed to the sky, the trees, the flowers, the birds. She showed them all the different colors and shapes. + +"Look at all these wonderful things," she said. "They are much better than the sunglasses. You can see them with your own eyes. And you can share them with your friends." + +Lily and Max looked at the things the lady showed them. They saw how pretty and bright they were. They felt happy and curious. + +"You are right," Lily said. "The sunglasses are not very useful. We don't need them." + +"Thank you," Max said. "You are very wise. Can we play with you?" + +The wise old lady smiled. She gave them each a hug. + +"Of course," she said. "Let's play together. And let's sort the toys by something else. How about by shape? Or by sound? Or by how they make you feel?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They liked the idea. They took the box of toys and followed the lady. They played and sorted and laughed. They forgot about the sunglasses. They had a lot of fun. +Ben and Mia liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. Sometimes they saw birds and squirrels and bugs. They liked to pretend they were explorers and look for treasures. + +One day, they found a big box under a bush. It was brown and had a lock on it. They wondered what was inside. Maybe it was toys or candy or books. They wanted to open it and see. + +They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They tried to pull and push the lock, but it was too hard. They asked their mom for help, but she said she did not have a key. She said the box was not theirs and they should leave it alone. + +Ben and Mia were sad. They really wanted to know what was in the box. They thought maybe someone had left it there by mistake. They decided to look for clues. + +They looked at the box again. They saw some words on it. They could not read them, but they saw a picture. It was a picture of a mountain. A big, white mountain with snow and ice. They had never seen a mountain like that before. They wondered if the box came from there. + +They asked their mom about the mountain. She said it was far away, in a place called Alaska. She said it was very cold and beautiful there. She said some people lived there, but not many. She said there were animals like bears and wolves and moose. + +Ben and Mia were amazed. They wanted to go to Alaska and see the mountain. They wanted to meet the animals and play in the snow. They wanted to find the person who owned the box and ask them why they left it here. + +They asked their mom if they could go to Alaska. She smiled and said maybe someday, when they were older. She said Alaska was not available for them right now. She said they had to stay home and be safe and happy. + +Ben and Mia were disappointed, but they understood. They hugged their mom and thanked her for telling them about Alaska. They said they would keep dreaming about the mountain and the box. They said maybe one day, they would unlock the mystery. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the shore. They find shells and rocks and sand. They make castles and boats and animals. + +One day, Lily sees a big fish in the water. She wants to catch it. She runs to the fish with a net. Ben says, "No, Lily, stop! The fish is not for us. The fish is for the sea. The sea is its home. We should not take it away." + +But Lily does not listen. She wants the fish. She tries to catch it with the net. The fish is fast and smart. It swims away from the net. Lily gets angry. She runs after the fish. She does not see the waves. + +The waves are big and strong. They come to the shore. They splash Lily and Ben. They wet their clothes and toys. They knock down their castles and boats and animals. Lily and Ben are scared. They cry. + +A woman sees them. She is their teacher. She comes to help them. She takes them out of the water. She gives them towels and hugs. She says, "Are you okay, Lily and Ben? Why did you go to the water? The water is not safe. The water is not for playing. The water is for the fish and the plants and the rocks. We should respect the water. We should keep it clean and happy." + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, teacher. We did not know. We wanted to catch the fish. We wanted to have fun. We did not think about the water. We did not think about the fish. We were wrong." + +The teacher says, "It's okay, Lily and Ben. You made a mistake. But you can learn from it. You can teach others. You can tell them about the water and the fish and the shore. You can tell them how to be kind and careful and clean. You can be good friends to the water and the fish and the shore. Will you do that?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, teacher. We will do that. We will teach others. We will be good friends. We will be clean and kind and careful. Thank you, teacher." + +The teacher smiles. She says, "You're welcome, Lily and Ben. You are good kids. You are good learners. You are good teachers. Come on, let's go home. Let's dry up and warm up and have some snacks. And maybe tomorrow, we can come back to the shore. And we can watch the fish and the waves and the shells. And we can enjoy them. And we can say thank you to them. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben smile. They say, "That sounds good, teacher. That sounds very good. We love the shore. We love the water. We love the fish. And we love you, teacher." + +The end. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big toy elephant in the park. It was gray and soft and had a long nose. They both wanted to play with it. + +"Can I have the elephant?" Tom asked. + +"No, it is mine!" Mia said. + +They began to pull the elephant from each other. They did not share. They were angry and sad. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a real elephant. It was big and strong and had sharp teeth. It was dangerous. It was angry too.

They were scared. + +The real elephant picked up the toy elephant with its nose. It sniffed it and realized it was not its baby. It was confused. It looked around and saw Tom and Mia behind the tree. It was curious. + +It walked slowly towards them. It did not roar. It did not bite. It wanted to play. + +Tom and Mia saw the real elephant coming. They did not know what to do. They held each other's hands. They hoped it would not hurt them. + +The real elephant reached the tree. It lowered its nose and touched Tom and Mia gently. It was friendly. It wanted to share. + +Tom and Mia felt the elephant's nose. It was warm and wet. They smiled. They were not scared anymore. + +They petted the elephant and thanked it for sharing.

They wear aprons to keep their clothes clean. Mom gives them spoons and bowls to mix flour and eggs. They want to make a cake for Dad. + +But Lily and Ben are not careful. They spill flour on the floor and eggs on the table. They make a big mess. Mom is not happy. She says, "Stop! You are making everything dirty! Go to your room and wait for me!" + +Lily and Ben are sad. They do not want to go to their room. They want to finish the cake. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We just want to help. Please let us stay." + +But Mom is angry. She says, "No! You are not helping. You are making trouble. Go to your room now!" + +Lily and Ben go to their room. They cry and hug each other. They do not get to eat the cake. They do not get to see Dad. They have a bad day. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box. They want to make something with it. + +"Let's make a house!" Tom says. + +"OK, how do we make a house?" Anna asks. + +"We need a door, a window, and a roof," Tom says. + +They cut a hole in the box for the door. They cut another hole for the window. They find a stick and put it on top of the box for the roof. + +"Look, we made a house!" Tom says. + +They go inside the box. They pretend to cook, read, and sleep. They have fun. + +But then, it starts to rain. The rain makes the box wet and soft. The roof falls down. The door and the window break. + +"Oh no, our house is broken!" Anna says. + +They run out of the box. They are wet and sad. + +"Let's go under the big tree," Tom says. + +They go under the big tree. The tree keeps them dry. They hug each other. + +"It's OK, we can make another house another day," Tom says. + +"Yes, we can. We are good at making things," Anna says. + +They smile. They are still friends. +Anna likes to make things with her toys. She has blocks, dolls, cars and books. She can make houses, castles, roads and stories. One day, she wants to make a chair for her doll. She looks for something to use. + +She sees a big box in the corner. It is brown and has words on it. She does not know what the words say, but she thinks the box is good. She drags the box to the middle of the room. She puts a pillow on top of the box. She says, "This is a chair for my doll. She can sit here and read a book." + +She puts her doll on the pillow. She gives her a book. She says, "Here you go, doll. You can read this book. It is about a princess and a dragon. It is very fun." She smiles and sits next to the box. She pretends to read another book. + +But then, her brother Tom comes in. He is bigger than Anna. He likes to play with cars and balls. He does not like dolls and books. He sees the box and the pillow. He says, "What is this? This is not a chair. This is a box. I want to play with the box." + +He runs to the box and pushes it. The box moves and the pillow falls. The doll falls too. The box is broken. The pillow is dirty. The doll is sad. Anna is angry. She says, "Tom, you are bad! You broke my chair! You made my doll fall! You made me sad! Go away!" + +Tom does not care. He laughs and says, "This is not a chair. This is a box. Boxes are for playing, not for sitting. You are silly, Anna. You do not know how to make things. I can make better things than you." + +He takes the broken box and runs away. Anna cries and hugs her doll. She says, "I am sorry, doll. I tried to make a chair for you. But Tom broke it. He is mean. I do not like him. I wish he would go away." + +She looks for another thing to use. She sees a blanket and a stool. She thinks, "Maybe I can make a chair with these. Maybe Tom will not see them. Maybe he will leave me alone." She wipes her tears and smiles. She says, "Come on, doll. Let us try again. We can make a chair. We can have fun." She takes the blanket and the stool and starts to make a chair. +Anna was a girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but she always wanted more. She would cry when she saw other children with toys she did not have. She would cry when her parents said no to buying her more toys. She would cry when she had to share her toys with her friends. + +One evening, Anna's parents took her to a big store. They said they had a surprise for her. Anna was very happy. She thought they would buy her a new toy. She ran around the store, looking at all the toys. She saw a big doll, a shiny car, a fluffy bear, and many more. She wanted them all. She pointed at each toy and said, "I want this! I want this!" + +Her parents smiled and said, "Wait, Anna. We have something for you. Come with us." They led her to a different part of the store. There, Anna saw many children who had no toys. They had no parents, either. They lived in the store, because they had no home. They wore dull clothes and had sad faces. They looked at Anna with envy. + +Anna's parents said, "Anna, these children have nothing. They are very poor and lonely. They need help and love. We want you to give them some of your toys. We want you to share with them. We want you to make them happy." + +Anna was shocked. She did not want to give away her toys. She wanted to keep them all. She started to cry. She said, "No, no, no! These are my toys! I don't want to share! I don't want to make them happy! I want to make me happy!" + +Her parents were sad and angry. They said, "Anna, you are very selfish and greedy. You have so many toys, but you are not grateful. You have so much, but you are not generous. You have a family, but you are not kind. You only think of yourself. You do not care about others. You are not a good girl." + +They took Anna out of the store. They did not buy her any new toys. They did not give her any surprise. They took her home and put her to bed. They did not read her a story. They did not kiss her goodnight. They left her alone in the dark. + +Anna cried and cried. She felt very bad. She realized she had been wrong.

She did not know what to do. + +Her mom came to her room and said, "Anna, are you ready to go? Did you choose a doll for Lily?" + +Anna shook her head. She said, "I can't choose, Mom. I love all my dolls. I don't want to give them away." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I understand, Anna. It is hard to choose. But you know what? You don't have to give your dolls away. You can just lend them to Lily for a while. She will take good care of them and give them back to you when she feels better. How does that sound?" + +Anna thought for a moment. She said, "That sounds good, Mom. I can lend a doll to Lily. She will like that." + +She smiled and looked at her dolls again. She chose a doll with red hair and a yellow dress.

"It is so pretty!" + +"I want to touch the moon!" Tom said. "Maybe I can jump and reach it!" + +Tom tried to jump, but he was too small. He jumped again and again, but he could not touch the moon. He got angry and sad. + +"I can't touch the moon!" he cried. "It is too far away!" + +Lily tried to make Tom feel better. She said, "It's okay, Tom. You don't have to touch the moon. You can just look at it and enjoy it." + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to touch the moon. He saw a big rock on the ground. He thought it was a good idea to throw the rock at the moon. + +"Maybe if I throw this rock, I can hit the moon!" he said. + +He picked up the rock and threw it as hard as he could. But he did not hit the moon. He hit something else. + +He hit mom. + +Mom was coming outside to check on them. She did not see the rock coming. It hit her on the head and made her fall down. + +Lily and Tom were shocked. They ran to mom and saw blood on her head. She did not move or talk. + +"Mom, mom, are you okay?" they said. + +But mom did not answer. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not know what to do. They cried and cried. + +They did not see the moon anymore. They only saw mom. +Tim and Anna went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, tigers, and bears.

"Maybe it will hurt us with its spikes." + +They watch the hedgehog for a while. It does not move. It looks scared. + +"Maybe it is lonely," Lila says. "Maybe it wants to play with us." + +She reaches her hand over the fence and tries to grab the ball. The hedgehog sees her hand and curls up into a ball. It shows its spikes. + +"Ow!" Lila says. She pulls back her hand. It has a small scratch. "It bit me!" + +"It did not bite you," Ben says. "It poked you with its spikes. It is trying to protect itself." + +He looks at the hedgehog and says in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, little hedgehog. We are not going to hurt you. We just want our ball back. Can you please move away from the ball?" + +The hedgehog hears Ben's voice and uncurls a little. It sees that Ben and Lila are not mean. It waddles away from the ball and hides under a leaf. + +"Thank you, little hedgehog," Ben says. He reaches his hand over the fence and takes the ball. He shows it to Lila. "See? It is not broken. We can still play with it." + +Lila smiles and hugs Ben. She looks at the hedgehog and says, "Bye, little hedgehog. Maybe we will see you again." + +They wave to the hedgehog and run back to the park. They bounce the ball and catch it. They are happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big jar of jelly on a bench. They are hungry and curious. + +"Look, jelly!" Lily says. "Can we eat it?" + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is not for us. Maybe someone left it here." + +They go closer to the jar. It is red and shiny. It looks yummy. They want to try it. + +"Be careful," Tom says. "Don't touch it. It might be hot or dirty or bad." + +But Lily is not careful. She reaches for the jar. She wants to open it. She does not listen to Tom. + +She grabs the jar. But it is slippery and heavy. She drops it. It falls on the ground. It breaks. The jelly spills everywhere. It makes a big mess. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. "What have we done?" + +Tom is scared and angry. He looks at Lily. He looks at the jelly. He looks around. He sees a man coming. The man is frowning. He is holding a spoon. He is the owner of the jar. + +"Run!" Tom says. "Run away!" + +Lily and Tom run away. They are sorry and sad. They learned a lesson. They should be careful with things that are not theirs. They should listen to their friends. They should not play with jelly. +Tom and Anna like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small car. They take turns to kick the ball and push the car.

They run away from the dog. + +They see a man on a bench. The man has a leash and a hat. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog. The dog stops and goes to the man. The man says sorry to Tom and Anna. He says the dog is friendly and just wants to play. + +Tom and Anna are still fearful. They do not want to play with the dog. They want their ball and their car.

They say thank you to the man. They are not angry, but they are still fearful. They decide to go home. They hold hands and walk away. They look at the sky. They see the sun and the clouds.

They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Can we go, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Please, Mom?" Tom added. + +Mom looked at the hill and the cliff. She did not think it was safe for the twins to go there. She shook her head. + +"No, you can't go. It's too high and too steep. You might fall off the cliff and get hurt. Stay here where I can see you," Mom said. + +But Lily and Tom did not listen to Mom. They waited until she was busy with something else and then they ran to the hill. They climbed up the hill, holding hands. They were curious and excited. + +When they reached the top of the hill, they saw a clear lake on the other side. It sparkled in the sun. They also saw some ducks and fish in the water. They wanted to go closer and touch them. + +"Look, Lily, how pretty!" Tom said. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Lily said. + +They forgot about the cliff and ran to the edge of the hill. But they did not see the loose rocks and dirt that were under their feet. They slipped and slid down the hill, towards the cliff. They screamed and cried for help. + +Mom heard their screams and looked up. She saw them falling down the hill. She was very scared and angry. She ran to the hill and tried to catch them. + +"Lily! Tom! Stop! Come back!" Mom shouted. + +But it was too late. Lily and Tom reached the cliff and fell off.

It is round and shiny. Ben likes the blue one. It is long and twisty. They buy their lollipops and go back to the park. + +Sara and Ben lick their lollipops. They are sweet and yummy. They sit on a bench and watch the birds and the flowers. Sara sees the puddle again. She thinks it looks fun. She asks Ben if he wants to splash with her. Ben says no. He says he does not want to get his lollipop wet. He says he likes his lollipop more than the puddle. + +Sara feels sad. She likes her lollipop too, but she also likes to splash.

They learn that it is good to try different things. They learn that it is good to share fun with others. They learn that splashing is better than lollipops. +One day, a fox saw a hat on the ground. He liked the hat. It was red and big and had a feather. He wanted to wear the hat. He put the hat on his head and looked at himself in the water. He felt very happy. + +He walked around the forest, showing off his hat. He met a rabbit, a squirrel, and a bird. They all saw his hat and said, "What a silly fox! Why do you wear a hat? You are a fox, not a person. You do not need a hat. Take it off!" + +But the fox did not listen. He liked his hat. He said, "I do not care what you say. I wear what I want. I think I look good. You are just jealous of my hat." + +He kept walking, feeling very proud. He did not see the hunter who was hiding behind a tree. The hunter saw the fox and his hat. He said, "What a silly fox! He wears a hat. He thinks he is a person. He does not know I am here. I will catch him and take his hat and his fur." + +The hunter aimed his gun at the fox. He was about to shoot, when the fox heard a loud noise. He turned around and saw the hunter. He was scared. He realized he had made a mistake. He said, "Oh no! I am a silly fox! I should not wear a hat. I should run away!" + +He dropped his hat and ran as fast as he could. The hunter missed his shot. He was angry. He said, "What a silly fox! He dropped his hat. He wasted my time. I will find another fox." + +The fox ran back to the forest. He met the rabbit, the squirrel, and the bird again. They saw him without his hat. They said, "What a smart fox! You did not wear a hat. You are a fox, not a person. You need your fur. You saved yourself!" + +The fox felt very sorry. He said, "I am sorry for being a silly fox. I learned my lesson. I will not wear a hat again. I will be a good fox. Thank you for being my friends." + +They all hugged the fox and said, "You are welcome. We are glad you are safe. You are a good fox.

She gave the snowman a carrot nose, a scarf, a hat and two buttons for eyes. + +Lily was happy with her snowman. She said, "Hello, snowman. You are my friend. I welcome you to winter. Winter is fun. We can play together." The snowman did not say anything, but Lily thought he smiled. She hugged him and said, "I love you, snowman. You are the best." +Lily was a young girl who liked to help her mom with the flowers. She would pick the pretty ones from the garden and put them in a vase.

She saw the broken vase and the flowers. She saw Lily crying. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, honey. It was an accident. You didn't mean to break the vase. I'm not mad at you." + +Lily looked at Mom and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to make you happy with the flowers. I liked the new vase. It was pretty." + +Mom smiled and said, "I know, Lily. You are very sweet and thoughtful. The flowers are beautiful. And the vase was just a thing. It can be replaced. But you are my precious girl. You can't be replaced.

But when they opened the sack, they saw that their new toys were broken. The doll's dress was torn and the car's roof was cracked. They were very sad and angry. They looked around and saw their dog, Spot, lying on the floor with a guilty look. + +"Spot, you bad dog! You spoil our new toys!" Lily shouted. + +"Go away, Spot! You are not our friend!" Ben cried. + +Spot whimpered and ran away. He felt sorry for what he did, but he was curious and wanted to play with the new toys too. He did not mean to spoil them. + +Lily and Ben hugged each other and cried. They did not know what to do. They did not want to tell their aunt or their mom.

She chased Tom and tried to get the ball back. They pushed and pulled and yelled. They did not see the big tree behind them. + +The sun was shining bright. It made a big shadow on the ground.

They learned their lesson. They went back to their toys and played with each other. They were happy and safe. They did not join the big kids who play with fire.

They had lost the spoon they wanted. They had hurt each other. They had made a mess. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, Sara and Tom. The clear spoon did not belong to anyone. It was just ice.

He trusted that the palace was showing him what was best for him. He dried himself off, thanked the guard, and continued exploring the palace. + +The moral of the story is, trust your instincts and listen to those who care for you.

Eventually, the creek became so big that Harry could pass it. + +Harry was so happy that he could cross the creek and went to the other side. + +When he reached the other side he looked back and saw his friends, who still couldn't pass the creek. He suddenly realized that he should have helped his friends instead of just passing by. + +The moral of this story is that it is always better to help each other than to just pass by. +Once upon a time there were two friends, Max and Rebecca. Max was a small lamb and Rebecca was a big bear. They were always playing together and always had lots of fun. + +One day, the two friends wanted to eat an apple.

"Why do you come to my hut?" + +The girl looked confused and said, "Please, sir, can you explain what a hut is?" + +The old man smiled and began to explain. "A hut is a little house.

She looked down and saw that it had been twisted. + +"Ow, Daddy, my ankle hurts," she cried. + +Her dad checked the ankle and said, "It looks like it's twisted. We need to take you to the doctor's." + +They rushed to the doctor's office and the doctor checked the ankle. He said, "I'm sorry Suzie, but your ankle is really twisted. You won't be able to go back to the game tonight." + +Suzie was very sad and tears started to come out of her eyes. But her dad gave her a big hug and said, "Don't worry, we can watch the game on TV at home." + +That was the end of Suzie's great day at the stadium. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Lucy. She loved to slide all the time. + +One day she saw a needle and decided to slide on it. She asked her mum, "Can I slide on the needle?" + +"No," said her mum, "needles are too sharp and you might hurt yourself." Lucy was sad. + +But then, her mum had an unknown idea. "I know," she said, "let's use a slide in the garden instead." Lucy smiled. + +They found a shiny, blue slide in the garden and Lucy could slide all day long. She was so happy! + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a girl called Lucy. She loved surprise treats. One day she wanted to prepare a big surprise for her mum. + +Lucy carefully put something in a box. She wanted to make it extra special.

He was always up to something, but he never got caught. One day his mom put a label on his shirt and said, "Behave yourself!" + +Bob was so curious about the label. He asked his mom, "What's this for?" She replied, "It is so I can know who you are if you get lost." + +But Bob had a mischievous plan. He started to joke around and said, "Can I try to get lost and see if you can tell who I am?" His mom frowned and said, "No, no, no! That is very naughty!" + + Bob didn't listen and he ran off down the street. He hid around a corner to see if his mom would come find him. But to his surprise, his mom didn't even come looking, so Bob went back home. + +He was shocked to see that, instead of his mom, his dad was there waiting. He asked Bob, "Did you get lost? Go and look at your shirt!" + +Bob looked down and what do you know, there was a label with his name on it! His dad had been so clever and knew that Bob would try to get lost, so he had put Bob's name on the label to always know who he was. + +Moral of the story: Don't be so naughty or you'll get caught! +Sammy was a three year old who loved to explore. He always kept an eye on everything around him, no matter where he went. One day, Sammy was walking in the woods and came across an incredible sight. + +He gasped and said, "Wow, what is that?!" + +The magical sight was a giant tree with golden leaves. They glittered in the sun, making the tree look like it was from a dream. Sammy wanted to keep looking at it, but he had to get back home before his mom noticed that he was missing. + +So he started making his way back, but he stopped every few steps to take one last look at the golden tree before he left. Sammy couldn't believe how incredible it was and he kept it in his mind, promising himself he would come back soon to see it again. +Once upon a time, a little girl named Lucy stepped outside. She saw a muffin on the ground and a man walking away. She quickly stepped over to the muffin and looked around. + +The man was walking very quickly and Lucy wondered where he was going. She asked the man, "Why did you leave the muffin behind?" + +The man said, "I was feeling a bit hungry and very selfish. So I wanted the muffin all to myself and thought that nobody would see me take it." + +Lucy thought this was not very nice and felt sad that the man was so selfish. She carefully picked up the muffin and decided to go and share it with her friends. She smiled at the man and said, "It's much better to share things than to take them all for yourself". + +The man agreed and thanked Lucy for being so kind. He thanked her for reminding him that sharing is better than being selfish. + +Lucy smiled and stepped home with her muffin. She couldn't wait to share it with her friends and show them how important it is to be nice to others. +Mum and Dad said it was time for bed.

She was amazed at how gentle he was with it. + +Big kid: "Hey, why don't you play too?" +Cindy: "Okay!" + +The two of them spent the day putting bugs onto the tray and watching them crawl around. Cindy forgot all about how embarrassed she felt and had a lot of fun with the big kid. +Once there was a little boy named Tom.

As he watched the birds and butterflies, he heard a strange sound coming from the bottle. He twisted it, and suddenly he heard a voice coming from inside! + +The voice asked him, "Will you help me get out of this bottle?" Alfie was so excited that he said, "Yes! Of course I will help you." But no matter how hard he tried to open the bottle, the lid wouldn't budge.

He knew if he couldn't find a way to help the voice, +Once upon a time, there was a very bossy girl called Lilly.

Can I come with you?" + +The fairy smiled. "Of course you can! Just keep running and flap your arms. Keep going, keep going!

You need to stay away from them." + +But Ella was determined to get a prune. She started pouting and begged her father, "Please, provide me with one prune! Please!" + +Her father sighed and said, "I cannot provide you with a prune. You need to stay away from it and find another way to entertain yourself." + +Ella frowned and continued pouting, refusing to understand why her father wouldn't provide her with a prune. She had an idea and started to pout even more and begged one last time, "Please, Pa! Please provide me one!" + +Exhausted, her father said, "Fine. I will provide you with one prune, but that's it. No more prunes for you." + +Ella smiled and thanked her father before going off to find the ripest prune she could find. +Once upon a time there was an orange monkey. He was just hanging around being silly and having fun in the sunny backyard. + +Suddenly, he saw a knot on the ground. He was determined to untie it, but it was too tricky. The monkey kept trying to loosen it, but every time he escaped, the knot got tighter. + +Frustrated, the monkey started to cry. "Why can't I escape the knot?!" he cried. + +Then, he heard a voice from behind him. "Don't worry, little monkey. You can do it. Just take your time, be patient and keep trying." + +The monkey was very happy to hear the voice, so he tried again. And this time he was able to escape from the knot. He jumped up into the air with excitement and thanked the voice. + +The voice belonged to an orange cat that had been watching him the whole time. The monkey thanked the cat and the cat smiled. + +The monkey and the cat played together all afternoon, having lots of fun and never getting tangled up again. +Once upon a time there was a little boy called Jack. He liked to explore and he had heard about a place in the west that was very clean. He decided to take a journey. + +One day, Jack packed his bag with food, water and an old map. He left his house and started walking towards the west. As he walked, he could feel himself getting more and more nervous. He could feel his heart trembling. + +Finally, after walking for what felt like hours, Jack saw a little village in the west. All the houses were very clean.

After a few hours, they finally made it back and the puppy was reunited with its family. + +Pete and his copper cat were glad that they were able to help the little puppy and together they walked back to his house, feeling very happy and satisfied with the day. +Once there was a slow elephant who was always looking for things to polish. One day, he came across a big shiny button. He thought it would look better if it had a bit of polish. + +"Maybe if I polish it I can make it even shinier," he thought. So he gently began to polish the button, making sure to be extra careful. + +Just as he was finishing, he heard a voice calling out to him. He looked up and saw a little bunny hopping around nearby. + +"Why do you spend so much time polishing that button?" the bunny asked. + +The slow elephant thought for a moment before responding. "Polishing can make things look and feel nice. Instead of spending my time looking for things to polish, though, I should be helping others." + +The bunny smiled before running away. The slow elephant realized that there were more important things than just polishing buttons. +Once upon a time there was a gentle zebra. It lived in a peaceful meadow and loved to roam in the nearby woods. One day, however, it saw something it had never seen before - a wall. The wall seemed to prevent the zebra from going any further. + +The zebra thought to itself, "What is this wall? Why won't it let me go?" But no matter how much it tried, the wall wouldn't budge. + +Just then, a friendly little rabbit hopped over to the zebra and asked, "What's the matter? Why don't you go any farther?" The zebra explained what had happened, and the rabbit said, "Oh, that's easy. That wall is there to prevent you from getting lost in the woods." + +The zebra thanked the little rabbit for helping, then slowly and gently began walking away from the wall. From then on, the zebra stayed close to the meadow and never ventured too far into the woods again, knowing that a wall was there to prevent it from getting lost. +Once there was a little girl named Amy. She was three years old and loved to slide in the playground. She would love to slide down the big slide, over and over again. + +One day, when she was sliding down the slide, she saw two children. They were speaking in a different language that sounded very pretty. She wanted to learn what they were saying. + +She approached them, smiled, and asked, "What language are you speaking?" + +The two children smiled back at her and said, "We are speaking Spanish. Do you want to learn with us?" + +Amy was so excited. She said, "Yes, I want to learn Spanish!" + +The two children taught Amy some fun Spanish words. She learned a lot of new words and soon was able to have conversations in Spanish. + +Amy was so happy that she had learned a new language, and she thanked the two children for their help. From then on, she continued to slide in the playground, but now she had a whole new language to use. +Once there was a big house and on it was a large porch. On the porch lived a family of rabbits. The father rabbit loved his wife and 3 bunnies very much. + +One day, the father rabbit was sitting on the porch enjoying the sunshine. His oldest bunny came up to him and said, "Daddy, I love you so much!" The father rabbit smiled and said, "I love you too, my sweetheart." + +The bunnies played on the porch together and enjoyed the nice weather. They hopped around, chased each other, and laughed. + +As the night grew darker, the rabbits gathered together on the porch and hugged each other. The father rabbit looked at each bunny and said, "I love you all. We are a family and will always be together." The family hugged and said goodnight. + +The rabbits snuggled together on the porch, happy and content. They were happy to have such a big, cozy porch to call their home. +There was once a kind woodworker. He liked to think about different things as he crafted his wood. One day, he was thinking about a shipwreck he had seen on the shore and he wanted to make something out of it. + +He got to work, chipping and sawing the pieces of wood until he had made a beautiful boat. He painted it red and added some special details. + +When he was finished, he thought the boat looked like it was ready to go out to sea. He added a sail and decided to take it for a ride. + +The wind was blowing and the boat sailed swiftly. Before long, he had reached the shore of the shipwreck. He thought it was so amazing that he could make something so beautiful from a wreck like this. + +He rowed the boat back to shore and returned the pieces of wood to their home. He was so happy that he was able to make something so kind from a wreck. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Bill. He had a big smile on his face as he walked through the park, looking for his friend, Sarah. When he found her, he said "hi!" + +Sarah was happy to see him. She took out a taco from her bag and said to Bill, "Would you like to share my strawberry taco with me?" + +Bill smiled and said, "Yes!" He was so grateful for the tasty treat! They shared the taco, and Bill said "mmm, this is so yummy!"

I'm so grateful that we got to share something so yummy!" + +The two friends laughed and hugged each other, happy to spend the afternoon together sharing a strawberry taco! +Mike was at his friend's house. He was playing with his friend and they were having lots of fun. The friends both had special recording machines that recorded their voices. + +Mike thought it would be funny to play a joke on his friend. He recorded one of his friend's jokes, and thought it was really funny. His friend was a bit confused, but he still laughed along. + +Then the friends listened to the recorded joke, both of them were confused. The joke was not funny at all, in fact it was really bad! Mike was so embarrassed that he made a bad joke. He quickly put the recording machine away in a drawer and tried to forget about it. + +But Mike felt really bad about the whole situation. He had been so mean to his friend. He felt terrible and was very sad. The friends never spoke of the joke again, but they were always a bit more careful around each other. The bad ending was a reminder to Mike to be more careful with his jokes! +Once upon a time there was a fair witch who lived deep in a forest. She loved children and one day she had an idea. She wanted to give a special gift to a child. + +The witch began her search, looking high and low. Finally, she found the perfect child - a kind little boy named Peter. She asked him if he wanted to gain something special. + +Peter smiled and said, "Yes!" + +The witch gave him a magical charm. She said, "If you keep this charm with you wherever you go, you will gain more and more friends." + +Peter gladly accepted the charm and thanked the witch for her kindness. He has kept the charm ever since, and he has gained many friends. + +The end. +One day a young girl was walking in a park when she passed a fountain. She was so excited and stopped to admire the fountain.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that the fountain had turned into a magical rainbow. + +The girl smiled and thanked her mom.

She was sure that she was going to stay young forever. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Mary. Mary had a great map that she loved to explore. + +One day, Mary wanted to use her map to find a special place. She asked her dad for help, and he said, “Yes, sure! Let’s take a look at the map together.†+ +So they looked at the map closely and found a place that would be perfect. They packed some snacks and set off on their adventure. + +Mary and her dad had a great time. They looked at different plants and animals, and played a lot of games. Mary even took a nap while they were there. + +But when it was time to relax by the lake, the sky got dark and it began to rain. Mary and her dad had to hurry back home. + +When they got there, Mary felt very sad. She wanted to enjoy the lake and relax, but she couldn't. + +Mary looked at her map sadly and said, “We didn’t get to enjoy our adventure like we wanted.†+ +Her dad gave her a hug and said, “It’s okay, Mary. We can go back next time.†+Once upon a time, there were two friends, Tim and Jane. They were playing in the woods one day when Tim said, "Let's go explore the hut in the woods." Jane was scared, "It looks dangerous," she said. Tim replied, "I guess it's just a hut. Come on, let's go!" + +So the two friends started walking through the woods towards the hut. As they drew closer, it really did look dangerous. All the trees around it had thorns and the hut seemed to have a scary aura about it. + +When Tim and Jane reached the hut, they peered inside. It was dark and empty, with no signs of life. Jane said, "I guess it's not too dangerous in here, but I'm still scared." Tim said, "No, I think it's safe. Let's see what's inside!" + +The two friends went inside and explored what the hut had to offer. They searched through all the items in the hut and pretended they were on a grand adventure. They laughed and talked and soon enough the sun started to set. + +With the light fading, Tim and Jane said goodbye to the hut and made their way back home. They were happy and relieved to have had a safe and exciting adventure. +Once upon a time there was a young girl who had two very different pets. She had a rabbit named Flopsy, and a turtle named Shelly. + +One day, the young girl decided it was time to take her two pets out for an adventure in the park. She grabbed Flopsy and Shelly and zipped them into her pocket. + +When they reached the park, Flopsy and Shelly hopped out on their own and began to explore. Every time Shelly spotted something new, she would zip around and explore. But Flopsy stayed very still. + +The young girl wondered why her rabbit was so calm and different from her turtle. She looked and found that something had startled Flopsy. A big, scary dog was standing next to them! + +The young girl smiled and waved at the dog, and soon Flopsy was feeling brave again. The two pets zipped around the park, happy to be exploring together. +"Come on, let's go to the museum," said Mum. + +So they went to the museum. There were lots of interesting things to look at and explore. But then something bad happened. A clever boy dropped his ice cream and it broke. + +Mum shouted, "No! You must be more careful!" + +The clever boy said sorry and Mum said it was OK. They kept playing, but this time more carefully. + +At the end of the day, the clever boy had learned his lesson. He was more careful and he didn't break anything else. +One day, Jack and his mom were walking through the park. Jack felt restless and was just about to ask his mom why they were walking around in circles when something interesting caught his eye. He quickly pointed to it and asked what it was. His mom replied, "That's a minute tree. Do you want to see it up close?" + +Jack was so excited and together they slowly made their way over. When they got there, the minute tree was beautiful. Its branches stretched up into the sky, its leaves rustled in the wind, and bright little buds grew all on its branches. Jack was mesmerized; he felt like he could become part of the tree! + +His mom smiled at him and said, "These buds are very special. They only last for one minute and then they disappear. That's why this tree is called a minute tree." + +Jack couldn't believe it. He wanted to see one of the buds up close so he asked his mom if he could take a closer look. She answered yes but warned him that it would disappear any second. + +Jack became very still and waited and waited. Then suddenly one of the buds burst open and a small blue butterfly flew off into the sky. Jack had never seen anything so beautiful! + +Now Jack and his mom visit the minute tree every day and Jack is never restless when they're there! +Once upon a time, there was a little boy called George. He was only three years old and he loved to explore new places. + +One day, George went to the park with his mother. They were walking around, enjoying the sunshine. Suddenly, George noticed a big tree. He couldn't help but go closer to investigate it. + +When he got there, he noticed something strange. Everything was very quiet. He asked his mother, "What's that quiet sound?" She replied, "That's called silence. It's when there are no other noises around." + +He thought for a moment and then asked, "Can I remove the silence?" His mother smiled and said, "Yes, George. It's easy. All you need to do is make some noise! Do you want to try?" George eagerly nodded, so the mother and son clapped their hands and cheered. + +The silence was quickly broken by their happy voices. George felt proud of himself, he had removed the silence. He knew that he was going to have a lot of fun exploring the park. +The old man was walking through the snow. He was looking for an igloo.

They walked until they came to a big igloo. The old man was happy. + +But a moment later, the old man stopped. He could hear other voices now. He peeked into the igloo and saw a family of polar bears. They were looking angry. "What's the matter?" The old man asked. + +The small figure stepped forward. "These polar bears don't want us living in our igloo," it said. The old man thought for a moment. Then he came up with a plan. "We can build another igloo," he said. With a little help, the old man and the small figure soon made another igloo. The old polar bears agreed, and the old man and the small figure were happy. +Once upon a time, there was a rich girl who lived on a big farm with lots of animals. One day, the girl was walking near the farm and saw a sausage lying in the grass. She was so happy! + +The girl ran back to the farm and then made her way to the kitchen. She put the sausage in a pan to cook and thank the sausage for being there. + +Suddenly, a voice behind her said, "Thank you for cooking this sausage. I was so hungry!" + +The girl turned around and saw a small, furry and friendly animal standing there. She asked, "Who are you?". + +The animal jumped onto the table and said, "I'm the farmer's magical pig! I thank you for the delicious sausage. Now I can be rich too!". + +The girl was very surprised.

He hit it hard with his shoe and broke it into many pieces. + +His father was surprised and asked him why he had done it. "I wanted to see what was inside," Alan replied. + +His father shook his head sadly. "That statue was very valuable. You should never break something without asking permission first." + +And so, the moral of the story is: never break something without asking permission first. +Bob and his mommy were taking a walk in the hall. Bob loved to explore, and he looked at all the cute things he saw. + +Suddenly, a surprise popped up in front of them! +It was a fluffy white bunny, with a ribbon around its neck! + +Bob was so thrilled, he ran up to it and shouted, "Mommy, look! A bunny! Can we keep it?" + +His mommy smiled, and nodded. "Sure," she said, "Let's take it home." + +Bob was so excited, he could hardly contain himself. He kept hopping and jumping with joy, as he and his mommy carried their surprise home. + +When they got home, Bob showed the bunny to his daddy. He was amazed at how cute it was. + +Bob gave the bunny a big hug, and said, "This bunny is mine!" + +From that day on, Bob and the bunny were the best of friends. +One night, a little boy could not sleep. He looked outside his window and he saw darkness. He was a bit confused, so he went outside to explore. The dark filled the sky, but he saw something shining in the horizon. It was a star! He was so excited so he followed it and it took him on a magical journey. + +With the star guiding him, the little boy saw so many things: a garden full of beautiful flowers, a lake where the moonlight shone through and a forest filled with wild animals. Everywhere he went, the star led him. + +But soon enough, it was too late and the little boy realized he had been gone all night. He was confused but he started heading home and the star remained in the sky until he got back safely to his warm bed. +Once upon a time there were two best friends - a lady and a bunny. The lady was so lovely and kind. Every day she would go for a walk with the bunny in the garden. + +One day, the lady noticed that some of the flowers were starting to rot in her garden.

We can collect all the rotten flowers together and I will tell you a story for every flower we pick up." + +So the bunny agreed. They both gathered up all the rotten flowers and as they did, the lady told them wonderful stories. When they were finished, the garden was just as lovely as before! + +The moral of this story is that we should all put in a little effort to make our environment better. Working together, we can turn even the most rotten places into something beautiful and lovely. +Once upon a time, there was a wild bear who lived in a cave in the mountains. The bear was very strong and fierce but sometimes he was lonely. + +One day, the bear woke up to see a small rabbit hopping around outside his cave. The rabbit was sniffing around and blinking its big eyes. + +The bear wanted to be friends with the rabbit, so he asked in a soft, gentle voice, “What are you looking for, my friend?†+ +The rabbit looked up and replied, “I am looking for some wild herbs I can eat.†+ +The bear smiled and said, “I can help you look.†+ +So the bear and rabbit set off in search of wild herbs. The bear was excited to have a new friend, but he soon realized that the rabbit was very competitive. + +Whenever the bear found some wild herbs, the rabbit would try to steal them away. The bear was getting frustrated but he kept on looking for the herbs. + +Finally, after a long and tiring search, the bear and rabbit had collected enough wild herbs for the rabbit to eat. + +The rabbit thanked the bear and hopped away happily, but the bear knew that he had made a true friend. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Lila.

Lila found a nice patch of grass and lay down. She closed her eyes and before she knew it, she was fast asleep. + +When she woke up, she felt so refreshed! Lila stretched her neck and looked around.

I'm too perfect!" + +The mouse kept asking the lion and eventually convinced him to take care of his style. The lion started cleaning his mane and preening it. + +However, one day a wild storm blew in and washed away the lion's perfect style. He was devastated and refused to take care of it again because he thought it was impossible to recreate it. + +The moral of the story is that if you don't care for what you have, even if it's perfect, you can lose it in the blink of an eye. So care for what you have! +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lizzie. She loved to match things. Every day she would match socks, toys, and even plates. + +One day, when she was playing in the yard, she saw a big frog. She thought that she could match his nose.

She handed them to Lizzie and said: + +"What do you need the scissors for, Lizzie?" + +"To match the frog's nose!", said Lizzie. + +Lizzie carefully cut out a piece of paper to match the size of the frog's nose. She folded the paper in half so that it was a perfect fit. Then she held it up against the frog's nose. It fit perfectly! She smiled. + +"See, mom!

Teddy trembled and stepped closer. + +From inside the tree, he heard a voice. It said, “Teddy, I am a magical tree. I can make you shrink if you jump in my loop. If you want to feel big again, you must jump out of the loop.†+ +Teddy said “okay†and he jumped into the magical tree’s loop. He felt himself grow bigger and bigger until he was his normal size again. + +Teddy thanked the magical tree and promised to never forget its soft loop. +Maggie was so excited! Today was her first day at school. She hopped out of bed and danced around her room. Mrs. Jacob was her teacher and she was so kind. + +When she arrived at school, Mrs. Jacob gave her a gentle hug.

He saw a bright couch across the street and wanted to lay on it. He started to cross the street without looking. + +Just then, a car came speeding down the street. The girl saw it and screamed, “No!†+ +But it was too late. The car ran into the boy. + + +The girl cried and cried. She learned a valuable lesson: It’s important to listen to advice.

Sheep cannot fly!" + +Joe smiled, "I bet I can make it work!" So, Joe and his older brother went out to the farm to try Joe's idea. Joe took some balloons and he started to attach them to the back of the sheep. + +It didn't take much for the sheep to start to float. Joe and his brother cheered with excitement as the sheep started to float up! Soon enough the sheep was up in the sky, high in the clouds. + +Joe's brother shook his head, "You were right Joe, that was silly - but it worked!" +Jim and his mom were walking through the park when Jim saw something that made him stop. He saw a strip of grass that was spread before him, brighter and greener than the rest. + +“Look, mom!†Jim said. “I want to jump on that!†+ +“No, Jim!†his mom said firmly. “That grass looks too fragile. You might damage it if you jump.†+ +Jim wanted to jump so badly, he started pouting. But his mom was honest with him. She was only looking out for him and she had a good reason not to let him jump. + +Suddenly, Jim noticed a small sign that he had not seen before - a sign which said "Please Jump". Above it, a rainbow of confetti hung from the branches. Jim had never seen a sign like that. + +“Can I jump now, mom?†asked Jim, excitedly. + +“Well, since it says jump, I guess it’s ok!†said his mom. + +So Jim jumped and jumped, over the strip of green grass.

Tom asks Dad. + +"Sure, you can," Dad says. "You can dry the dishes. Here are the towels and the cups and the bowls." + +Tom and Sue take the towels and the cups and the bowls. They dry them with the towels. They put them in the cupboard. They are careful not to break them. + +Mom and Dad are happy. They smile at Tom and Sue. + +"Thank you for helping us," Mom says. "You are very good." + +"You are welcome," Tom and Sue say. "We like to do work." + +They hug Mom and Dad. They are not bored anymore. They are proud. +Tom and Lily were bored. They wanted to play, but it was too hot outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do. + +"Let's move the fridge!" Tom said. He liked to move things and see what was behind them. + +"OK!" Lily said. She was curious too. They went to the kitchen and pushed the fridge with all their might. It was very heavy, but they did not give up. + +"Look!" Tom said. He saw a small hole in the wall behind the fridge. "What is in there?" + +"I don't know. Let's find out!" Lily said. She reached her hand into the hole and felt something soft and furry. + +"Ouch!" she cried. She pulled her hand back and saw a scratch on it. "Something bit me!" + +Tom looked into the hole and saw a pair of yellow eyes staring back at him. It was a mouse! + +"Run!" he said. He grabbed Lily's hand and they ran away from the fridge and the mouse. They went to their mom and showed her the scratch. + +"Mom, mom, there is a mouse behind the fridge!" Tom said. + +"Oh, dear. Let me see your hand, Lily." Mom said. She cleaned the scratch and put a band-aid on it. "You are fine, sweetie. Don't worry." + +"Can we move the fridge again?" Tom asked. + +"No, no, no. That is not a good idea. The mouse might bite you again. How about we play with your toys instead?" Mom said. + +"OK, mom." Tom and Lily said. They went to their room and played with their toys. They forgot about the mouse and the fridge. They were not bored anymore. They had fun. +Tom is a fisherman. He likes to catch fish in the lake. He has a boat and a net. He goes to the lake every morning. + +One day, he sees a big fish in the water. He throws his net to catch it. But the fish is too strong. It pulls the net and the boat. Tom is scared. He shouts for help. + +"Help! Help! The fish is too big!" + +Sara is a girl who lives near the lake. She hears Tom's shout. She runs to the shore. She sees Tom and the fish. She has a big bottle of water. She thinks of a plan. + +"Tom, I have water. Do you want to drink?" + +"Yes, please. I am thirsty." + +Sara opens the bottle and pours the water on the fish. The fish does not like the water. It lets go of the net and swims away. Tom is happy. He thanks Sara. + +"Thank you, Sara. You are very smart and kind. You saved me and my boat." + +"You are welcome, Tom. I am glad you are safe. Do you want to be my friend?" + +"Yes, I do. You are my friend. Do you like fish?" + +"I do. But only the small ones. The big ones are scary." + +"Me too. I have some small fish in my boat. Do you want to share them with me?" + +"Yes, I do. That sounds good. Let's go to your boat." + +Tom and Sara go to the boat. They share the small fish. They talk and laugh. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a huge balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny and had a basket under it. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "I want to fly in the balloon!" + +"Me too!" Tom said. "Let's go and see if we can." + +They ran to the balloon. A man was standing next to it. He had a hat and a big smile. + +"Hello, kids!" he said. "Do you want to fly in my balloon?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom said. + +"OK, then. Hop in the basket. I have some mints for you. They are very yummy." + +Lily and Tom climbed into the basket. The man gave them each a mint. They tasted sweet and cool. + +"Are you ready?" the man asked. + +"Yes!" Lily and Tom said. + +The man pulled a rope. The balloon went up in the air. Lily and Tom felt happy. They looked at the park and the trees and the birds. + +"This is fun!" Lily said. + +"I love it!" Tom said. + +But the man was not nice. He was bad. He wanted to take Lily and Tom away. He had a plan. He flew the balloon very high and very far. He laughed. + +"Ha ha ha! You are mine now, kids! I will sell you to a circus. You will never see your home again!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They cried. They wanted to go back. They spat out the mints. They were not yummy. They were nasty. They made them sleepy. + +"Help! Help!" Lily and Tom shouted. But no one heard them. The balloon flew away. The man was happy. Lily and Tom were sad. The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today, they have to go to the doctor. Mom says they need a check-up. + +Mom is busy. She makes toast for breakfast. She puts butter and jam on the toast. She gives Lily and Ben a glass of milk. She says, "Eat up, we have to go soon." + +Lily and Ben eat their toast. They like the butter and jam. They drink their milk. They are not scared of the doctor. They are brave. + +Mom says, "Time to go. Put on your coats and shoes." Lily and Ben put on their coats and shoes. They grab their teddy bears. They follow Mom to the car. + +Mom drives to the doctor. She parks the car. She says, "Here we are. Let's go inside." Lily and Ben hold Mom's hand. They walk to the doctor's office. + +The doctor is nice. He smiles and says, "Hello, Lily and Ben. How are you today?" He checks their ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. He listens to their heart and lungs. He says, "You are both healthy and strong. Good job!" + +Lily and Ben are happy. They say, "Thank you, doctor." The doctor gives them a sticker and a lollipop. He says, "You are very welcome. Have a nice day." + +Mom says, "Let's go home. You did great." She hugs Lily and Ben. She kisses them on the cheek. She says, "I love you, my sweeties." + +Lily and Ben hug and kiss Mom back. They say, "We love you, Mommy." They get in the car. They eat their lollipops. They are proud of themselves. They are happy. +Tom and Lily liked to play outside with their toys. They had a big red automobile that they could ride in. They also had a small yellow whistle that made a loud noise. + +One day, they decided to have a race with their automobile and whistle. Tom got in the automobile and Lily held the whistle. They said, "Ready, set, go!" and started to move. + +Tom pushed the pedals hard and made the automobile go fast. Lily ran behind him and blew the whistle. She wanted to catch up with him. They laughed and shouted as they raced. + +But then, Tom saw a funny thing. There was a big puddle of water on the road. He wanted to splash in it. He turned the automobile towards the puddle and drove into it. + +Splash! The water went everywhere. It wet Tom and Lily and the automobile and the whistle. They stopped and looked at each other. They were soaked and muddy. + +They thought it was very funny. They giggled and hugged each other. They did not mind getting wet. They had fun with their race. They went back to their house and told their mom what happened. She smiled and gave them a towel. She said, "You are very silly, but I love you." +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. Anna saw a big white lily and ran to it. She wanted to smell it and touch it. + +"Look, Ben, a lily!" she shouted. "It is so pretty and soft!" + +Ben followed her and saw the lily too. He also wanted to smell it and touch it. But when he got closer, he saw something else. A big black spider was sitting on the lily. It had eight legs and many eyes. Ben was afraid of spiders. He screamed and ran away. + +"Ben, what's wrong?" Anna asked. She did not see the spider. She thought Ben was playing a game. + +"There is a spider on the lily!" Ben cried. "It is scary and ugly!" + +Anna looked at the lily again and saw the spider. She was not afraid of spiders. She thought they were interesting and cool. She wanted to see it better. She walked to the lily and said hello to the spider. + +"Hello, spider. You are on a lily. It is a nice flower. Do you like it?" + +The spider did not answer. It was not used to talking to children. It was shy and nervous. It started to tremble on the lily. It wanted to hide and be alone. + +Anna saw the spider tremble. She thought it was cold or sick. She felt sorry for it. She wanted to help it. + +"Don't be afraid, spider. I am Anna. I am your friend. I will not hurt you. Do you need a hug?" + +The spider did not want a hug. It wanted to get away from Anna. It was embarrassed and scared. It jumped off the lily and ran to the grass. + +Anna was surprised and sad. She did not understand why the spider ran away. She wanted to play with it and make it happy. + +"Spider, come back! Where are you going? Don't you want to be my friend?" + +Ben came back to Anna. He saw the spider was gone. He was relieved and happy. He hugged Anna and said sorry. + +"Anna, I am sorry I screamed and ran away. I was afraid of the spider. But you were brave and kind. You tried to be its friend. You are a good girl." + +Anna smiled and hugged Ben back. She said thank you. + +"Ben, thank you for saying sorry. I know you were afraid of the spider. But it was not mean or bad. It was just shy and nervous. It trembled on the lily. Maybe it wanted to be our friend too. But it was embarrassed and scared. Maybe next time we can be more gentle and quiet. Maybe then it will stay and talk to us." + +Ben nodded and agreed. + +"Anna, you are right. Maybe next time we can be more gentle and quiet. Maybe then the spider will stay and talk to us. Maybe then we can be friends with the spider and the lily." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Anna has a bicycle. Ben does not have a bicycle. He wants to try Anna's bicycle. + +"Can I ride your bicycle, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"OK, but be careful. It is fast and big. You have to trust me. I will help you," Anna says. + +Anna holds the bicycle and Ben gets on. He puts his feet on the pedals and his hands on the handlebars. Anna pushes the bicycle and runs with Ben. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Ben says. + +"Yes, it is. But you have to balance. Do not lean too much or you will fall," Anna says. + +Ben tries to balance, but he leans too much to the left. The bicycle wobbles and Ben falls off. He lands on the grass and rolls over. He feels dizzy. + +"Ouch! That hurt!" Ben says. + +"Are you OK, Ben?" Anna asks. She runs to him and helps him up. + +"I think so. But I feel dizzy. And my knee is scraped," Ben says. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I should have held the bicycle better. Here, let me see your knee. I have a band-aid in my backpack," Anna says. + +She takes out a band-aid and puts it on Ben's knee. She gives him a hug and a kiss. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. I trust you," Ben says. + +"You're welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. Do you want to try the bicycle again?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe later. Right now, I want to sit and rest. And maybe have some juice," Ben says. + +"OK, let's sit and rest. And have some juice. And maybe some cookies," Anna says. + +They sit and rest. And have some juice. And some cookies. And they smile. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress and a smile on her face. Lily took Anna everywhere she went. + +One day, Lily and Anna went to the park with Lily's mom. There were many other children playing on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. Lily wanted to join them, but she was nervous. She did not know any of the children, and she was afraid they would not like her or Anna. + +She held Anna tightly in her arms and sat on a bench. She whispered to Anna, "Don't worry, I will protect you. You are my best friend." + +A boy came over to Lily and Anna. He had short hair, a blue shirt and a frown on his face. He looked at Anna and said, "What a silly doll. She has no eyes, no nose and no mouth. She is ugly and boring. Can I see her?" + +Lily felt angry and scared. She did not want the boy to touch Anna. She said, "No, you can't. She is not silly, she is beautiful and fun. She has eyes, nose and mouth, but they are hidden. She is my doll, and I love her." + +The boy did not listen to Lily. He reached out his hand and tried to grab Anna. Lily pulled Anna away, but the boy was stronger. He snatched Anna from Lily and laughed. He said, "Ha ha, I have your doll. She is mine now. What are you going to do?" + +Lily felt sad and helpless. She wanted Anna back. She started to cry. She said, "Please, give her back. She is not yours, she is mine. She is my friend, and I need her." + +The boy did not care about Lily's feelings. He held Anna high in the air and said, "No, I won't. She is my toy now. I will do whatever I want with her. Maybe I will cut her hair, or rip her dress, or break her finger." + +Lily felt a surge of courage. She did not want the boy to hurt Anna. She loved Anna, and she wanted to protect her. She stood up and ran to the boy. She jumped and grabbed his arm. She said, "Stop, you are mean and rude. You can't do that to Anna. She is not a toy, she is a doll. She has feelings, and she is scared. You are hurting her, and you are hurting me. Give her back, now!" + +The boy was surprised by Lily's strength and bravery. He did not expect her to fight back. He felt a pang of guilt and fear. He dropped Anna and ran away. He said, "Fine, take your doll. She is stupid and lame. I don't want her anyway." + +Lily picked up Anna and hugged her. She checked her hair, her dress and her finger. She was relieved to see that Anna was not damaged. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. Are you okay? I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you. You are my best friend." + +Anna smiled at Lily. She said, "I'm okay, Lily. Thank you for protecting me. You are my best friend, too." + +Lily and Anna smiled at each other. They felt happy and safe. They decided to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They met some nice children who liked Anna and Lily. They had fun and made new friends. + +The moral of the story is: You should stand up for yourself and your friends. You should not let anyone bully you or take away your things. You should be kind and respectful to others, and they will be kind and respectful to you. You should love and protect your friends, and they will love and protect you. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with blocks. They build tall towers and bridges with the blocks. They are happy. + +One day, there is a big earthquake. The ground shakes and the blocks fall down. Tim and Sam are scared. They run to their mom and dad. + +"Mom, dad, what is happening?" Tim asks. + +"It's an earthquake, Tim. It's when the earth moves very fast. Don't worry, we are safe here," mom says. + +"Can we play with the blocks again?" Sam asks. + +"Not now, Sam. The earthquake might make them fall again. Let's wait until it stops," dad says. + +Tim and Sam nod. They hug their mom and dad. They hope the earthquake will stop soon. They want to play with the blocks again. They want to make them fit and build new things. They are brave. +Sam liked to ride his bike in the park. He saw many flowers and trees and birds. He was happy and fast. He wore a helmet and gloves to be safe. + +One day, he saw a big bee on a flower. He wanted to look at it. He stopped his bike and got off. He walked to the flower and said, "Hello, bee. You are pretty and yellow. Can I be your friend?" + +The bee did not like Sam. The bee was angry and scared. The bee thought Sam wanted to hurt it. The bee said, "Buzz off, boy. This is my flower. Go away or I will sting you." + +Sam did not understand the bee. He thought the bee was talking to him. He said, "No, bee. I don't want to go away. I want to play with you. You are so soft and fuzzy. Can I touch you?" + +The bee did not want Sam to touch it. The bee was very old and tired. The bee was ancient. The bee had no more honey or friends. The bee only had its flower. The bee said, "No, boy. You cannot touch me. You are big and loud and rude. You will hurt me and my flower. I will sting you now." + +The bee flew to Sam and stung him on the nose. Sam felt a sharp pain and cried. He ran to his bike and rode away. He was sad and hurt. He did not like the bee. He did not like the park. He wanted to go home and see his mom. The bee was mean and bad. The end. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They did not care if they got filthy. They had fun. + +But then they saw a big worm in the earth. Lila was scared. She screamed and ran away. Ben laughed. He picked up the worm and chased Lila. + +"Stop, Ben, stop!" Lila cried. "The worm is icky! I don't like it!" + +Ben did not stop. He thought it was funny. He wanted to put the worm on Lila's hair. + +But then he tripped and fell. The worm flew out of his hand and landed on his face. Ben felt the worm wriggle on his nose. He was scared too. He screamed and ran away. + +Lila saw Ben run past her. She saw the worm on his face. She felt sorry for him. She ran after him. + +"Ben, Ben, wait!" Lila called. "I will help you! I will take the worm off your face!" + +Ben stopped and let Lila help him. She gently removed the worm and put it back in the earth. She wiped Ben's face with her sleeve. + +"Thank you, Lila," Ben said. "You are a good friend. You support me." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lila said. "I was mean to you. You are a good friend too. You make me laugh." + +They hugged and smiled. They learned to be kind and brave. They went back to play in the garden. They still liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They did not mind if they got filthy. They had fun. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys in the water. They have a duck, a boat, a fish and a frog. They have fun with their toys. + +But one day, Ben has a bad idea. He takes Lily's towel and ties it to the faucet. He thinks it is funny. He says, "Look, Lily, your towel is a flag!" + +Lily is not happy. She wants her towel. She says, "Ben, give me my towel! I need it to dry!" She tries to pull the towel, but it is too tight. She cannot untie it. She cries. + +Ben sees that Lily is sad. He feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just playing. I will help you." He climbs out of the bath and goes to the faucet. He unties the towel. He says, "Here, Lily, your towel is free. It is easy to untie. I will not do it again." + +Lily stops crying. She takes her towel and dries herself. She says, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. But don't tie my towel again. It is not nice." She hugs Ben. They are friends again. They smile. +One day, a boy and a girl went to play near a well. The well was very old and deep. The boy and the girl liked to throw stones and sticks into the well and listen to the splash. + +The boy had a sack with him. He said, "I wonder what is in the well. Maybe there is a treasure or a monster." He opened his sack and took out a rope. He tied the rope to the sack and said, "I will lower the sack into the well and see what I can find." + +The girl said, "Be careful. The well is very old and deep. You might fall in or get stuck." But the boy did not listen. He threw the sack into the well and held the rope. He felt the sack hit the water and then sink. He waited for a while and then pulled the rope. + +But the rope was very heavy. The boy could not pull the sack out of the well. He said, "Help me. The sack is too heavy. Something is in the sack." The girl tried to help him, but the rope was too heavy for both of them. + +They heard a loud roar from the well. The water splashed and bubbled. The rope shook and snapped. The sack was gone. The boy and the girl were scared. They ran away from the well and never came back. They did not know what was in the sack or in the well. Maybe it was a treasure or a monster. They did not want to find out. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big orange pumpkin growing on a vine. They wanted to take it home and make a pie. + +"Let's talk to the pumpkin," Sara said. "Maybe it will come with us." + +"That's foolish," Ben said. "Pumpkins can't talk. They are just plants." + +But Sara did not listen. She went to the pumpkin and said, "Hello, pumpkin. You are very pretty. Do you want to be our friend?" + +The pumpkin did not answer. It just sat there, round and silent. + +Ben laughed. "See? I told you. Pumpkins can't talk. Let's go and find something else to play with." + +He turned around and walked away. Sara felt sad. She wanted the pumpkin to talk to her. She tried again. + +"Please, pumpkin. Say something. Anything. I like you very much." + +Suddenly, she heard a voice. It was not the pumpkin. It was a man hiding behind a bush. He had a big hat and a long beard. He was the farmer who owned the garden. + +"Boo!" he shouted. "I am the pumpkin king. And you are a naughty girl. You tried to steal my pumpkin. Now you will pay." + +Sara screamed. She was very scared. She ran to Ben and hugged him. + +"Help, Ben! The pumpkin king is after us!" + +Ben looked and saw the man. He was angry and mean. He had a stick in his hand. He was coming towards them. + +"Run, Sara, run!" Ben said. "He is not the pumpkin king. He is a bad man. He wants to hurt us." + +They ran as fast as they could. They reached the fence and climbed over it. They ran all the way home and told their mom what happened. + +Mom was shocked and worried. She called the police and told them about the man. The police came and arrested the man. He was a thief who had been stealing from the farmer. He had used the pumpkin as a hiding place. + +Sara and Ben learned a lesson. They never tried to talk to pumpkins again. They knew they were foolish. They also learned to be careful and not to go into strangers' gardens. They were happy and safe at home. They still liked pumpkins, but only in pies. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big rainbow in the sky. It has many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. + +"Wow, look at the rainbow!" Sara says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben agrees. "Do you know what is at the end of the rainbow?" + +"No, what is it?" Sara asks. + +Ben smiles. He has a joke. "At the end of the rainbow, there is a pot of gold. And a leprechaun. He is a small man who wears green. He guards the gold. If you catch him, he will give you a wish." + +Sara laughs. She knows Ben is joking. "That is silly, Ben. There is no pot of gold or leprechaun. You are making it up." + +Ben laughs too. He likes to make Sara laugh. "You are right, Sara. I am joking. But it is fun to imagine. What would you wish for if you caught a leprechaun?" + +Sara thinks for a moment. She has many wishes. She wants a new doll, a bike, a puppy, and a cake. But she also wants something else. She looks at Ben and says, "I would wish for you to be my friend forever." + +Ben smiles. He feels happy. He says, "That is a nice wish, Sara. I would wish for the same thing. You are my best friend." + +They hug each other. They are happy. They look at the rainbow again. It is still pretty. They think it is a sign of their friendship. They hope it will last forever. +Tommy liked to play with his cars, but he did not like to share them. He had many cars of different colors and sizes, and he kept them in a big box in his room. He did not allow anyone to touch his cars, not even his sister or his friends. + +One day, his mom told him that they were going to visit his aunt and his cousin Lily. Tommy did not want to go, because he knew that Lily liked to play with cars too. He was afraid that she would take his cars and break them or lose them. He tried to hide his box under his bed, but his mom saw him and said, "Tommy, you have to bring some of your cars with you. Lily is your cousin, and you have to be nice and share with her. It's not polite to keep all your toys to yourself." + +Tommy did not listen to his mom. He thought she was giving him a lecture, and he did not like lectures. He pretended to put some cars in his backpack, but he only took the ones that he did not like very much. He left his favorite cars in his box, and he hoped that his mom would not notice. + +When they arrived at his aunt's house, Lily was very happy to see Tommy. She was a pretty girl with long blond hair and blue eyes. She was very attractive, but Tommy did not care about that. He only cared about his cars. Lily asked him if he wanted to play with her in her room, and he said yes, but he did not mean it. He only wanted to play with his cars by himself. + +Lily showed him her room, which was full of dolls and stuffed animals. She asked him if he liked them, and he said no. He thought they were boring and silly. He took out his backpack and opened it. He showed Lily his cars, and he said, "These are my cars. They are very cool and fast. You can look at them, but you can't touch them. They are mine, and I don't share them." + +Lily was very sad and hurt by Tommy's words. She liked cars too, and she wanted to play with them with Tommy. She thought they could have fun together, and maybe even trade some cars. She had some cars of her own, but she did not show them to Tommy. She had hidden them in a secret place, because she had a surprise for him. She had found his favorite cars in his box, and she had taken them with her. She wanted to give them back to him, and tell him that she was sorry for taking them. She wanted to make him happy, and maybe even be his friend. + +But Tommy did not know that. He did not see the surprise in Lily's eyes, or the cars in her pocket. He only saw his cars, and he wanted to keep them to himself. He did not care about Lily, or her feelings, or her surprise. He was very selfish and rude, and he did not realize that he was making a big mistake. He did not know that he was about to lose his favorite cars, and maybe even his cousin. He did not know that he was about to learn a hard lesson. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they found a big cake in the trash. It looked delicious. + +"Wow, a cake!" Lily said. "Can we eat it?" + +Ben nodded. "Yes, let's eat it. But first, we have to marry." + +Lily giggled. "Marry? Why?" + +Ben shrugged. "I don't know. I heard grown-ups say that. They say you have to marry before you eat cake." + +Lily thought for a moment. "Okay, let's marry. How do we do that?" + +Ben took her hand. "We just say, 'I marry you'. And then we kiss." + +Lily smiled. "Okay. I marry you, Ben." + +"I marry you, Lily." Ben said. And then they kissed. + +They ate the cake. It was delicious. They were happy. + +But then, a big dog came. It saw the cake. It barked and ran towards them. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the cake and ran away. + +The dog ate the cake. It was delicious. It was happy. + +The cake was gone. It was a waste. +Lily and Max were in the car with Mom and Dad. They were going to the zoo, but the road was very long and slow. Lily and Max were bored. They looked out the window and saw many big signs with words and pictures. They were billboards. + +"Look, Max, a billboard with a monkey!" Lily said. + +"Where? Where?" Max asked. + +"Over there, next to the red car. See? The monkey is holding a banana." + +"I see it! I see it! It's funny. Do you think we will see monkeys at the zoo?" + +"I hope so. I like monkeys. They are smart and funny. They can swing and jump and make noises." + +Lily and Max smiled and imagined playing with monkeys. They forgot they were bored for a while. + +But then the car stopped again. There was a big traffic jam. Mom and Dad looked unhappy. They turned on the radio and listened to the news. Lily and Max did not understand the news. It was boring. + +"Mom, Dad, can we play a game?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, what game do you want to play?" Mom said. + +"How about I spy? I spy with my little eye something that is green." + +"Is it a tree?" Max guessed. + +"No, it's not a tree." + +"Is it a grass?" Dad guessed. + +"No, it's not a grass." + +"Is it a frog?" Mom guessed. + +"No, it's not a frog. It's something on a billboard." + +Lily and Max looked at the billboards again. They saw one with a green word. It said "Release". + +"Is it the word 'release'?" Max asked. + +"Yes, you got it! What does 'release' mean, Mom?" + +Mom smiled and said, "It means to let go of something or to set something free. Like when you release a balloon in the air, or when you release an animal back to the wild." + +"Oh, I see. That's a nice word. Can we release something at the zoo?" + +"Well, we can't release the animals, because they belong to the zoo and they might get hurt or lost. But maybe we can release some bubbles or some seeds for the birds." + +"Yay, that sounds fun!" Lily and Max said. + +They clapped their hands and looked forward to the zoo. They hoped the traffic jam would end soon. They were not bored anymore. They learned a new word. They were happy. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They liked to pour water on the flowers and the grass. They also liked to splash each other and laugh. + +"Look, Max, I have a big cup of water!" Lily said. She ran towards Max and tried to soak him. But Max was faster. He dodged and Lily missed. The water landed on a cushion that was on a chair. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "The cushion is wet. Mom will be angry. She likes the cushion. It is soft and pretty." + +Max looked at the cushion. It was soaked. The water made it heavy and dark. He felt sorry for Lily. He did not want her to be in trouble. + +"It's okay, Lily. We can fix it. Let's take the cushion inside and dry it. Maybe Mom will not notice." Max said. He picked up the cushion and carried it to the house. Lily followed him. + +They went to the bathroom and put the cushion on the radiator. They hoped the heat would make the water go away. They waited and waited. But the cushion did not dry. It was still wet and miserable. + +They heard Mom coming. They were scared. They hid behind the door. + +"Who left this wet cushion on the radiator?" Mom asked. She saw the cushion and frowned. She touched it and felt the water. She was not happy. + +Lily and Max came out of their hiding place. They looked at Mom with big eyes. They said sorry. + +"Sorry, Mom. We were playing with water and we soaked the cushion by mistake. We tried to dry it but it did not work. We are sorry." Lily and Max said. + +Mom looked at them. She saw their sad faces. She sighed. She was not angry anymore. She knew they did not mean to ruin the cushion. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"It's okay, Lily and Max. I know you were having fun. But next time, be careful with water and cushions. They don't like each other. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies. Maybe the cushion will dry later." Mom said. + +Lily and Max smiled. They were happy. They loved Mom. They loved cookies. They forgot about the cushion. They followed Mom to the kitchen. +Tom and Anna were playing in the living room when they heard a knock on the door. They ran to see who it was. It was the mailman with a big package for them. + +"Wow, what is it?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, but it's from Grandma and Grandpa," Anna said. + +They thanked the mailman and took the package inside. They were very excited to open it, but Mom said they had to wait until after lunch. + +"Can we open it now, please?" Tom begged. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to eat first," Mom said. + +Tom and Anna were not happy. They wanted to see what was in the package. They tried to peek inside, but Mom saw them and told them to stop. + +"Can we open it now, please?" Anna asked. + +"No, honey. We have to clean up first," Mom said. + +Tom and Anna were very persistent. They kept asking Mom if they could open the package. They followed her around the house and made sad faces. + +"Can we open it now, please?" Tom and Anna said together. + +Mom sighed. She knew they were very curious, but she also wanted them to learn some patience. + +"Why don't you play with your toys for a while?" Mom suggested. + +Tom and Anna looked at their toys. They did not seem very fun compared to the package. + +"No, thank you. We want to open the package," Tom and Anna said. + +Mom smiled. She decided to give in. She knew Grandma and Grandpa would love to see their faces when they opened their gift. + +"Okay, okay. You can open the package. But you have to share whatever is inside, okay?" Mom said. + +Tom and Anna nodded. They ran to the package and tore off the paper. Inside, they found two books, two puzzles, and two stuffed animals. They were very happy. They hugged Mom and thanked her. + +"Thank you, Mom. You are the best," Tom and Anna said. + +Mom hugged them back. She was glad they liked their gift. She also hoped they would learn to wait a little longer next time. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to share. One day, Mom gives them a rare reward: a big box of crayons with many colors. She says they can draw anything they want, but they have to share the crayons. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They open the box and see the crayons. They are shiny and pretty. Lily wants the pink crayon. She reaches for it, but Ben grabs it first. He says, "I want the pink crayon. It is mine." + +Lily is angry. She says, "No, it is not yours. It is ours. We have to share. Give me the pink crayon." + +Ben is stubborn. He says, "No, I will not. I like the pink crayon. You can have another color." + +Lily and Ben start to fight. They pull and tug on the pink crayon. They do not see that Mom is watching them. She is sad and disappointed. She says, "Stop, Lily and Ben. You are not being nice. You are not sharing. You do not deserve the rare reward. Give me the box of crayons. You can have it back when you learn to share." + +Lily and Ben are shocked. They let go of the pink crayon. They look at Mom. They look at the box of crayons. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were wrong. We will share. Please, can we have the crayons back?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "I am glad you are sorry. I will give you another chance. You can have the crayons back, but you have to promise to share. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We promise. We will share. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom gives them the box of crayons. She hugs them. She says, "You are welcome, Lily and Ben. I love you. Now, go and draw something nice. And remember to share." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big band in the park. The band has drums, trumpets, flutes and more. They make loud and fun music. The band is going to march in a parade. + +"Can we march with the band, mom?" Lily asks. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben says. + +Mom smiles and says, "Sure, you can march with the band. But you have to follow the rules. You have to stay close to us, listen to the leader and keep the same pace. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mom!" + +They join the band at the end of the line. They feel very excited and proud. They try to copy the steps and the sounds of the band. They march along the street and wave to the people who watch. The people clap and cheer for them. + +The band is very busy. They have to turn, stop, start and play different songs. Lily and Ben manage to keep up with the band. They have a lot of fun. They feel like they are part of the band. + +Mom and dad are very happy and proud of them too. They take pictures and videos of them. They say, "You did a great job, Lily and Ben! You marched with the band!" + +Lily and Ben smile and hug them. They say, "Thank you, mom and dad! We love you and we love the band!" +Tom and Anna liked to play in the park. They ran and jumped and slid and swung. They had a lot of fun. But sometimes they got tired and thirsty. Then they looked for a place to rest and drink. + +One day, they found a big, modern building near the park. It had many windows and doors and lights. It looked shiny and new. Tom and Anna wanted to see what was inside. They ran to the building and opened a door. + +Inside, they saw many people and things. They saw books and computers and pictures and toys. They saw chairs and tables and sofas and beds. They saw a lot of colors and shapes and sounds. They felt curious and excited. They wanted to touch and explore everything. + +But they also saw a sign that said "Stay". It had a picture of a hand and a red circle and a line. It meant "Do not touch". The people in the building did not want Tom and Anna to touch their things. They wanted them to stay away. + +Tom and Anna did not understand the sign. They did not know the word "stay". They thought it was a game. They tried to touch the sign and the things around it. They laughed and giggled. + +But then they heard a loud voice. It said "Stop! Stay!" It sounded angry and scary. It came from a man who wore a badge and a hat. He was a guard. He saw Tom and Anna touching the things. He did not like it. He wanted them to leave. + +Tom and Anna felt afraid and sorry. They did not mean to make the man angry. They did not know they were doing something wrong. They ran to the door. They wanted to go back to the park. + +But when they got to the door, they saw something strange. They saw their shadows on the wall. Their shadows were big and dark and funny. They moved when Tom and Anna moved. They made shapes and animals and faces. They looked like friends. + +Tom and Anna forgot about the man and the sign and the things. They only saw their shadows. They wanted to play with them. They stayed by the door. They made their shadows dance and sing and hug. They felt happy and safe. They had a new game. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big grill in the park. It smelled good. There were many people around the grill. They wanted to see what was on the grill. + +They ran to the grill, but they did not look where they were going. They bumped into a man who was holding a plate of food. The food fell on the ground. The man was angry. He shouted at Lily and Max. + +"Hey, you two! Watch where you're going! You ruined my food! You owe me an apology!" + +Lily and Max were scared. They did not mean to make the man angry. They said sorry to the man, but he did not listen. He kept shouting. + +A woman came to the grill. She was the man's wife. She saw what happened. She was not angry. She was kind. She smiled at Lily and Max. + +"Don't worry, kids. It was an accident. You don't have to be afraid. Here, have some cookies. They are fresh and yummy." + +She gave Lily and Max some cookies. They were happy. They thanked the woman. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful and respectful. They also learned that being kind is better than being angry. They shared their cookies with their toys. They had a good day. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pile of leaves and wanted to play in it. Mom said, "OK, but be careful. The leaves are cold and wet. And don't go too far." + +Ben and Lily ran to the pile and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves at each other. They felt the cold on their hands and feet, but they did not mind. They had fun. + +But then, they heard a loud snap. They looked up and saw a big branch falling from a tree. It was scary. It was coming right at them. They screamed and ran away from the pile. + +Mom heard them and ran to them. She hugged them and said, "Are you OK? That was a close call. The branch could have hurt you. You are lucky." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were OK, but they were scared. They did not want to play in the leaves anymore. They wanted to go home. + +Mom said, "OK, let's go home. We can have some hot chocolate and cookies. And we can read a nice story. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily smiled. They liked that idea. They held Mom's hand and walked home. They were glad they were safe. +Lily was a patient at the hospital. She was sick and had to stay in a bed. She did not like the hospital. It was noisy and scary. She missed her home and her toys. + +One day, a nurse came to her room. She smiled and said, "Lily, you need to rest. Resting will help you get better. Do you want to read a book or watch a show?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to rest. She wanted to play. She said, "No, I want to go home. I want to see my mom and dad. I want to play with my dog." + +The nurse frowned. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily, but you can't go home yet. Your mom and dad will come to visit you later. You have to stay here and rest. You also have to eat something. You must be hungry." + +Lily nodded. She was hungry. She had not eaten much since she came to the hospital. She said, "Okay, I will eat something. What do you have?" + +The nurse said, "We have some soup and crackers. They are good for your tummy. Do you want some?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. I like soup and crackers." + +The nurse brought her a tray with a bowl of soup and some crackers. She said, "Here you go, Lily. Enjoy your soup and crackers. I will be back soon to check on you." + +Lily thanked the nurse and started to eat. She liked the soup and crackers. They were warm and tasty. She felt a little better. She thought, maybe the hospital was not so bad after all. + +But then, something bad happened. Lily felt a sharp pain in her throat. She coughed and choked. She could not breathe. She tried to call the nurse, but no sound came out. She felt scared and alone. She dropped her spoon and grabbed her neck. She wished her mom and dad were here. She wished she was home. She wished she was not sick. + +But it was too late. Lily was too sick. She could not rest. She could not get better. She could not live. She closed her eyes and stopped breathing. She was gone. +Lila and Tom are playing with their toys. They have many toys of different animals. Lila likes the animals with horns, like the cow, the goat and the rhino. Tom likes the animals with wings, like the bird, the bat and the dragon. + +"Let's sort our toys," Lila says. "You take the animals with wings, and I take the animals with horns." + +"OK," Tom says. "But can I have the dragon? It has both wings and a horn." + +Lila thinks for a moment. She likes the dragon too. It is green and shiny and makes a loud roar. But she wants to be nice to Tom. He is her friend. + +"OK, you can have the dragon," Lila says. "But can I have some of your sweet candy? You have more than me." + +Tom looks at his candy. He has many pieces of candy in different colors and shapes. He likes candy a lot. It is sweet and yummy. But he wants to be nice to Lila. She is his friend. + +"OK, you can have some of my candy," Tom says. "But not all of it. You can have three pieces. Which ones do you want?" + +Lila looks at the candy. She sees a red heart, a yellow star and a blue moon. She likes them all. They are pretty and sweet. + +"I want these ones," Lila says. She picks up the heart, the star and the moon. "Thank you, Tom." + +"You're welcome, Lila," Tom says. He gives her the candy and takes the dragon. "Let's sort our toys now." + +They sort their toys into two piles. Lila has the animals with horns, and Tom has the animals with wings. They are happy. They have their favorite toys and some sweet candy. They are good friends. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. One day, they see a big slide. They want to try it. + +"Come on, Spot!" Lila says. "Let's go on the slide!" + +But Spot does not want to go. He sees a cat. He runs after the cat. Lila and Ben do not see him. + +They go on the slide. It is fun. They go up and down, up and down. They laugh and shout. + +"Spot, Spot, where are you?" they call. But Spot does not come. They look around. They do not see him. + +They are sad. They want to find Spot. They want to go home. + +They ask a nice lady. "Have you seen our dog?" they say. "He is brown and white. He has a spot on his eye." + +The lady shakes her head. "No, I have not seen your dog. I am sorry." + +They ask a man. "Have you seen our dog?" they say. "He is brown and white. He has a spot on his eye." + +The man nods. "Yes, I have seen your dog. He ran after a cat. He went that way." He points. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Lila and Ben say. They run that way. They hope to find Spot. + +They see a house. They see a fence. They see a gate. They see Spot. He is in the yard. He is barking at the cat. The cat is on the roof. + +"Spot, Spot, come here!" Lila and Ben say. They open the gate. They hug Spot. They are happy. + +A boy comes out of the house. He is angry. "Hey, that is my cat!" he says. "Your dog is scaring him!" + +Lila and Ben are sorry. "We are sorry," they say. "We did not know. Our dog ran away. We were looking for him." + +The boy is fair. He is not mean. He sees that Lila and Ben love Spot. He sees that Spot loves Lila and Ben. + +"It is okay," he says. "I understand. You can take your dog. But please, keep him away from my cat." + +Lila and Ben nod. "We will, we will," they say. They thank the boy. They close the gate. They take Spot. They go home. + +They are glad. They have found Spot. They have found home. They have found a new friend. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to touch the flowers and the grass. They saw a big red ball. They ran to the ball and kicked it. The ball flew high in the sky. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "The ball is so high!" + +"Let's catch it!" Tom said. They chased the ball across the garden. They laughed and shouted. + +The sun was going down. It was evening. Lily and Tom's mom called them. "Time to come in, kids! Dinner is ready!" + +Lily and Tom ran to the house. They washed their hands and sat at the table. Mom gave them plates of pasta and cheese. It smelled delicious. + +"Yum!" Lily said. "This is my favorite!" + +"Me too!" Tom said. They ate their dinner and thanked mom. They were happy and full. + +Mom gave them hugs and kisses. She said, "You had a fun day, didn't you?" + +"Yes, mom!" Lily and Tom said. "We love you!" + +They went to their beds and fell asleep. They dreamed of the big red ball and the flowers and the grass. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They were happy. + +Then Tom saw a bee. He wanted to touch it. He thought it was pretty and fuzzy. He ran after the bee. Lily saw him and shouted. + +"Tom, no! Bee can hurt you! Bee can sting you! Stay away from bee!" + +But Tom did not listen. He was curious. He reached out his hand to the bee. The bee did not like that. The bee felt scared. The bee stung Tom. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cried. He dropped to the ground. He held his hand. It was red and swollen. It hurt a lot. + +Lily ran to him. She felt sorry for him. She hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Bee did not mean to hurt you. Bee was scared. You should not touch bee. You should ask bee first." + +Tom looked at her. He was confused. He said, "Ask bee? How do I ask bee?" + +Lily said, "You can say, 'Hello, bee. Can I touch you?' Then you can wait for bee to answer. If bee says yes, you can touch bee gently. If bee says no, you can leave bee alone. That is how you request." + +Tom nodded. He said, "I see. I did not request. I was rude. I'm sorry, bee. Can you forgive me?" + +The bee was flying away. It was distant. It heard Tom. It buzzed. It sounded like yes. + +Tom smiled. He said, "Thank you, bee. You are kind. I will request next time." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "That's good, Tom. You are smart. I'm proud of you." + +They hugged again. They went back to playing. They were careful with the bees. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to decorate things. They had many crayons, stickers, and glitter to make their drawings and crafts look pretty. One day, they decided to decorate their walk to the park. They took a big bag of their supplies and went outside. + +"Look, Lily, there is a big wall here. Let's make it colorful!" Ben said. + +"OK, Ben, let's do it!" Lily agreed. They took out their crayons and started to draw flowers, animals, and stars on the wall. They also added some stickers and glitter to make it sparkle. + +They were having so much fun that they did not notice a man walking by. He stopped and looked at their wall. He smiled and said, "Wow, you two are very talented. You made this wall look beautiful. Can I take a picture of it?" + +Lily and Ben were surprised and happy. They nodded and said, "Yes, please!" + +The man took out his phone and snapped a photo of the wall and the twins. He said, "Thank you, you made my day. This is a rare sight to see. You should be proud of your work." + +Lily and Ben thanked him and smiled. They felt proud and happy. They continued their walk to the park, looking for more things to decorate. They had a lot of fun and made a lot of people smile. +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with cars. One day, they saw a big red car in the park. It was shiny and fast. They wanted to have it. + +"Let's steal the car," Tim said. "We can drive it away and have fun." + +Sam was scared. He knew stealing was bad. But he wanted to play with Tim. He nodded and followed him. + +They ran to the car and opened the door. They climbed inside and tried to start it. But they did not know how. They pushed buttons and turned knobs. The car made loud noises. + +"Help! Help!" a voice shouted. It was the owner of the car. He saw them and ran to them. He was angry and strong. He grabbed them and pulled them out of the car. + +"You naughty boys!" he yelled. "You tried to steal my car! I will call the police!" + +Tim and Sam were very sorry. They cried and begged for mercy. But it was too late. The owner had his phone and dialed a number. They heard sirens and saw blue lights. The police came and took them away. They did not escape. They were in big trouble. +Lily and her parent went to the park. Lily liked to play on the swings and the slide. She saw a big dog with a collar and a leash. The dog looked friendly, but Lily was scared of dogs. + +"Can I pet the dog, parent?" Lily asked. + +"Only if the dog's owner says yes, Lily. And you have to be gentle and calm," her parent said. + +They walked over to the dog and its owner, who was sitting on a bench. The owner smiled and said, "Hello, this is Max. He is a good dog. Do you want to say hi to him?" + +Lily nodded and reached out her hand. Max sniffed her hand and licked it. Lily giggled and stroked his fur. He was soft and warm. + +"You are a sweet dog, Max," Lily said. + +"Thank you, you are a sweet girl, Lily," the owner said. + +Lily and her parent stayed with Max and his owner for a while. They talked and played. Lily learned that Max liked to chase balls and fetch sticks. She threw a ball for him and he brought it back to her. + +Suddenly, Lily heard a loud noise. It was a fire truck with sirens and lights. Lily was startled and scared. She ran to her parent and hugged them. + +"It's okay, Lily. It's just a fire truck. They are going to help someone," her parent said. + +Max also heard the noise and barked. He ran to Lily and her parent and stood in front of them. He looked at the fire truck and growled. He wanted to protect them. + +"Good boy, Max. You are brave and loyal," the owner said. "But don't worry, the fire truck is not a threat. They are here to help." + +Max calmed down and wagged his tail. He licked Lily and her parent. They thanked him and his owner for being so nice. + +Lily and her parent said goodbye to Max and his owner. They went back to the swings and the slide. Lily was happy and not scared anymore. She had made a new friend. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a red ball and a blue ball. They throw the balls and catch them. + +One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up the hill. They think it is fun. They have an idea. + +"Let's race to the top of the hill!" Sara says. "The first one to get there wins!" + +"OK!" Tom says. "But I will be faster than you!" + +They put their balls on the ground. They get ready to run. They count to three. + +"One, two, three, go!" Sara says. + +They run as fast as they can. They feel the wind in their hair. They see the sky and the trees. They hear the birds and the cars. + +Sara is a little bit ahead of Tom. She is almost at the top. She looks back and sees Tom. She smiles and winks at him. + +Tom sees Sara wink. He thinks she is teasing him. He tries to run faster. He wants to catch up with her. + +But he is too late. Sara reaches the top first. She jumps and cheers. + +"I win, I win!" Sara says. "I am the fastest!" + +Tom gets to the top too. He is out of breath. He is a little bit sad. He wanted to win. + +But he is also happy for Sara. She is his friend. He likes to play with her. + +He gives her a high five. He says, "Good job, Sara! You are very fast!" + +Sara gives him a hug. She says, "Thank you, Tom! You are very fast too! That was a fun race!" + +They look around. They see the park and the city. They see their balls on the ground. They are dull and dirty. + +They don't care. They have each other. They are happy. + +They go down the hill. They pick up their balls. They play some more. They have a good day. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. They went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. They saw a big cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. It looked very good. + +"Can we have some cake?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben said. He shrugged. "Mom and Dad are not here. Maybe they are saving it for later." + +Lily did not care. She wanted cake now. She took a long knife from the drawer and cut a big slice of cake. She gave some to Ben and some to herself. They ate the cake very fast. It was sweet and soft. + +They heard a car in the driveway. Mom and Dad were home. They came into the kitchen and saw the cake. They saw the knife and the crumbs. They saw Lily and Ben with pink frosting on their faces. + +"Who ate the cake?" Mom asked. She was angry. + +Lily and Ben did not say anything. They looked at the floor. They felt bad. + +Mom and Dad were very mad. They said Lily and Ben were naughty. They said they had to go to their rooms. They said they could not have any dinner or dessert. They said they had to stay there until morning. + +Lily and Ben cried. They wished they had not eaten the cake. They wished they had listened to Ben. They wished they had waited for Mom and Dad. They were hungry and sad. They had a bad ending. +Anna and Ben are friends who live on a farm. They like to play with the animals and help with the chores. One day, they decide to make a big pile of hay in the barn and pretend it is a castle. + +"Look, Anna, I made a mark on the hay with this stick. It is our flag," Ben says, holding up a stick with a piece of cloth tied to it. + +"That is a good flag, Ben. Can I make one too?" Anna asks, looking for another stick. + +"Sure, Anna. You can make one. We have a lot of hay. We are generous," Ben says, smiling. + +They make two flags and stick them on the hay pile. Then they climb on top of it and pretend they are the king and queen of the castle. They wave to the cows and the chickens and the horses. + +"Hello, animals. We are your rulers. We are kind and generous. We will share our hay with you," Anna says, in a loud voice. + +"Moo, cluck, neigh," the animals reply, in their own way. + +Anna and Ben laugh and hug each other. They are happy to have each other and the animals as their friends. They play on the hay pile until it is time for dinner. Then they run to the house, holding their flags. They are proud of their mark on the hay. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a big smile. Anna took Lily everywhere with her. + +One day, it started to rain. Anna and Lily were in the garden, having a tea party. Anna heard her mom call her. "Anna, come inside! It's raining!" Anna ran to the house, but she forgot Lily. She left Lily on the grass. + +The rain got heavier and heavier. Lily got wet and cold. She wished Anna would come back for her. She felt lonely and scared. + +Anna was inside, playing with her other dolls. She did not remember Lily. She had fun with her popular dolls, who had fancy clothes and accessories. She did not notice the rain. + +The next day, the sun came out. Anna wanted to play in the garden again. She looked for Lily, but she could not find her. She felt sad and sorry. She asked her mom, "Mom, where is Lily?" + +Her mom said, "I don't know, Anna. Did you leave her outside?" + +Anna remembered. She left Lily in the rain. She ran outside, hoping Lily was still there. She searched and searched, but she could not see Lily. She cried and cried. + +Then, she heard a voice. "Anna, I'm here!" It was Lily. She was under a bush, covered with leaves and mud. Anna saw her and ran to her. She hugged her and said, "Lily, I'm so sorry. I forgot you. I love you." + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, Anna. I'm glad you found me." + +Anna took Lily inside and cleaned her up. She gave her a new dress and a warm blanket. She said, "Lily, you are my favorite doll. I will never leave you again." + +Lily was happy. She said, "Anna, you are my best friend. I will always be with you." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big fence around the park. The fence has a gate. The gate has a lock. + +One day, Lily and Tom want to go to the park. But the gate is closed. They do not have the key. They see a man near the fence. He has a big bag. He looks nice. + +"Hello, sir," Lily says. "Can you open the gate for us? We want to play in the park." + +The man smiles. He puts down his bag. He takes out a key. He goes to the gate. He opens the lock. + +"Here you go, kids," he says. "You can go to the park. But be careful. Do not go too far. And come back before it gets dark." + +"Thank you, sir," Tom says. "You are very kind. What is in your bag?" + +The man laughs. He picks up his bag. He shows them. Inside the bag, there are many books. + +"These are books," he says. "I am a teacher. I teach children how to read and write. Do you like books?" + +Lily and Tom nod. They like books. They like stories. They like pictures. + +"Books are fun," Lily says. "Can you read us a book?" + +The man smiles again. He takes out a book. He sits on the grass. He invites Lily and Tom to sit with him. He opens the book. He reads them a story. + +Lily and Tom listen. They are happy. They are grateful. They have a new friend. They have a new book. They have a new adventure. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Sara wants to go first. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Ben follows her. + +"Wait for me, Sara!" Ben says. + +Sara sits on the slide. She holds the sides with her hands. She looks down. The slide is very long and shiny. She feels scared. + +"Are you ready, Sara?" Ben asks. + +Sara nods. She lets go of the sides. She slides down very fast. She says, "Whee!" + +Ben watches her. He sees her zip down the slide. He smiles. He wants to try too. He sits on the slide. He slides down very fast. He says, "Whee!" + +Sara and Ben reach the bottom of the slide. They laugh. They are happy.

He wished he had listened to his mom, who always told him to be kind to animals and not to play near the river. + +The alligator did not hurt Sam. It only wanted to scare him and make him understand. It let go of his leg and swam away. Sam was lucky. He only had a small bite mark on his leg. He crawled out of the water and hugged Tom. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sam said. "I was wrong. We should not have thrown stones at the alligator. It was not funny. It was cruel." + +"I'm sorry, too, Sam," Tom said. "We were not intelligent. We were foolish. We should have respected the alligator and its home. It was not stupid. It was wise." + +The boys learned their lesson. They never played near the river again.

He reached for a pen that was on the floor. + +"No, Ben, no!" Tom shouted. "That's not for you! You can't have the pen!" + +But Ben did not listen. He grabbed the pen and put it in his mouth. He tried to bite it, but it was hard and tasted bad. + +"Yuck!" Ben spat out the pen. He started to cry. + +Tom and Lily ran to him. They were worried. They tried to calm him down. + +"Shh, shh, it's okay, Ben," Lily said. "Don't cry. The pen is not food. It's for drawing." + +"Sorry, Ben," Tom said.

She said it is very old and rare. I have to polish it every day to keep it shiny." + +Ben liked the car very much. He wanted to play with it. He asked Mia, "Can I borrow your car? I will be careful. I will polish it too." + +Mia was worried. She loved her car and did not want to lose it or break it. But she also liked Ben and did not want to make him sad. She said, "Okay, you can borrow my car. But you have to promise to bring it back tomorrow. And you have to polish it well." + +Ben was happy. He said, "Thank you, Mia. I promise. I will take good care of your car." He took the car and ran to his home. + +The next day, Ben came back to Mia's house. He had a big smile on his face. He said, "Look, Mia. I polished your car. It is very shiny.

Don't go too close to the water," Tim said. + +They threw some bread to the ducks and watched them eat. The ducks made happy noises and came closer to the twins. Tim and Kim smiled and threw more bread. + +But then, they saw a big, smelly duck with a red beak. The duck looked angry and mean. It did not want to share the bread with the other ducks. It chased them away and tried to take all the bread for itself. + +"Hey, stop, smelly duck! That's not nice. You have to share with your friends," Kim said. + +But the smelly duck did not listen. It quacked loudly and bit Kim's finger. Kim cried and dropped the bread. The smelly duck grabbed the bread and ran away. + +"Ow, ow, ow! That hurts! Tim, help me!" Kim said. + +Tim ran to Kim and hugged her. He saw the blood on her finger and felt scared. He looked for their mom, who was sitting on a bench nearby. He shouted for her. + +"Mom, mom! Come quick! The smelly duck bit Kim!" Tim said. + +Their mom heard Tim and ran to them. She saw Kim's finger and took out a band-aid from her bag. She cleaned the wound and put the band-aid on it. She kissed Kim and hugged her. + +"Are you OK, Kim? I'm sorry the smelly duck hurt you. That was very bad of it," their mom said. + +"I'm OK, mom. But it still hurts. Why did the smelly duck do that?" Kim asked. + +"The smelly duck was greedy and selfish. It did not care about the other ducks or you. It only wanted the bread for itself. That was wrong. You should always share and be kind to others. That's what good ducks and good children do," their mom said. + +"I understand, mom. I wish the smelly duck would learn to share and be kind too. Maybe then it would have more friends and be happier," Kim said. + +"Maybe, Kim. Maybe. But for now, let's go home and have some ice cream.

But only if you promise to stay away from the smelly duck," their mom said. + +"I promise, mom. And I promise to share and be kind to everyone," Kim said. + +Tim nodded and smiled.

She is not welcome." + +Anna does not listen to Ben. She walks to the bench and smiles at the new girl. She says, "Hi, I am Anna. What is your name?" + +The new girl looks up and smiles back. She says, "Hi, I am Lily. I just moved here with my family. I don't have any friends here." + +Anna says, "You can be my friend. Do you want to play with me and Ben?

She picked up a round, fuzzy ball that was red and yellow. She threw it to Ben. + +"Ouch, that's not a ball, Anna, that's yarn!" Ben said. He caught the yarn and felt it. It was soft and warm. + +"Yarn? What is yarn?" Anna said. + +"Yarn is what you use to make things like sweaters, scarves, and hats," Ben said. He remembered that Grandma used to knit with yarn. + +"Can we make something with yarn?" Anna said. + +"I don't know, maybe," Ben said. He looked around and saw some needles and a book in a box.

"Remember the road is harsh," he warned. + +The rabbit wasn't sure what the fox meant and asked what he meant by this. The fox merely replied, "You'll see". + +So, with that, the two friends began their journey. After travelling for some time, the rabbit noticed that the road began to get rocky. It was difficult to traverse and it became clear that the fox meant that the road was harsh. + +The rabbit realised he was not prepared for this. He hadn't put the fox's warning in his mind.

He enjoyed the waves and was delighted by the sensation of simply gliding on them. Everything seemed too easy! + +But he soon lost control and was taken too far, far away from the beach.
