They heard a bark. They followed the sound. They found Spot. He was stuck in a bush. He was happy to see them. They freed him from the bush. They put the hat on his head and the cane in his mouth. They led him back to the park. + +The old man was overjoyed. He hugged Spot and thanked Sara and Tom. He said they were very nice and brave. He gave them each a candy. He said they were his new friends. He said they belonged in his heart. Sara and Tom smiled. They were happy they helped the old man and his dog. They said goodbye and went back to play. They felt good. They learned that helping others can make them happy too. +Tom and Lily were eager to sail their boat on the pond. They had made the boat from a big box and some paper. They painted it red and blue and put a flag on it. They also had a film camera to record their adventure. + +"Let's go, let's go!" Lily said, pulling Tom by the hand. "The pond is waiting for us!" + +They ran to the pond and put their boat on the water. It floated nicely and they climbed in. They used sticks to push the boat along. They pretended they were pirates and explorers. They waved to the ducks and the fish. They had so much fun. + +They also used the film camera to take pictures of themselves and the pond. They wanted to show their mom and dad later. They smiled and made funny faces. They said "cheese" and "ahoy". + +But they did not see the big rock in the water. It was hidden under some plants. As they sailed closer, their boat hit the rock with a loud bang. The boat broke into pieces and they fell into the water. The water was cold and deep. They screamed and splashed. + +The film camera also fell into the water. It sank to the bottom and stopped working. All their pictures were gone. + +They were very sad and scared. They cried for help. Luckily, a man who was walking his dog heard them and came to rescue them. He pulled them out of the water and wrapped them in a blanket. He called their mom and dad. + +Tom and Lily were sorry for what they had done. They had lost their boat and their film. They had made a big mess. They had been too eager and careless. They learned a hard lesson. They wished they had been more careful. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a crane. The crane can hang things in the air. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. "The crane is hanging a big sign. What does it say?" + +Sue tries to read the sign. She knows some letters, but not all. "It says...traffic...light. What is a traffic light?" + +Tom knows what a traffic light is. He saw one on the way to the park. "A traffic light is a thing that tells cars when to go and when to stop. It has three colors: red, yellow and green. Red means stop, yellow means wait, and green means go." + +Sue nods. She thinks a traffic light is a good idea. "But why do they need a new one here? There are no cars in the park." + +Tom shrugs. He does not know either. He sees a man in a yellow hat. The man is working on the crane. Tom decides to ask him. "Excuse me, sir. Why are you hanging a traffic light in the park?" + +The man in the yellow hat looks at Tom and Sue. He smiles. He has a pale face and a big beard. "Hello, kids. I'm hanging a traffic light in the park because there will be a new road here soon. The road will connect the park to the city. It will make it easier for people to come and enjoy the park." + +Tom and Sue are surprised. They do not like the idea of a new road in the park. They like the park the way it is. They do not want more cars and noise and smoke. They want more trees and flowers and birds. + +"But we don't want a new road in the park!" Sue says. "We want the park to stay the same. We love the park. It is our favorite place to play." + +The man in the yellow hat frowns. He does not understand why the kids are unhappy. He thinks the new road is a good thing. He thinks the kids will like it too. He tries to explain. "But kids, the new road will make the park better. It will bring more people and more fun. You will have more friends to play with. You will have more things to see and do. You will like the new road. Trust me." + +Tom and Sue shake their heads. They do not trust the man in the yellow hat. They do not want more people and more fun. They want the park to be quiet and peaceful. They want the park to be theirs. + +They look at each other. They have an idea. They run to the crane. They climb up the ladder. They reach the sign. They pull the sign down. They throw the sign on the ground. They shout, "No new road in the park! No traffic light in the park! We want the park to stay the same!" + +The man in the yellow hat is shocked. He drops his tools. He runs to the crane. He tries to stop the kids. But it is too late. The sign is broken. The crane is damaged. The new road is delayed. + +Tom and Sue are happy. They have saved the park. They have stopped the traffic light. They have hung their own sign. The sign says, "We love the park!" +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, they decided to go to the park and have a picnic. Sara packed some sandwiches, fruits and juice in a basket. Tom brought his ball and his kite. + +They walked to the park, holding hands and singing songs. They saw a big hill with a lot of flowers and grass. "Let's go there!" Tom said. "It looks like a good place to fly the kite and roll down the hill." Sara agreed and they hurried to the hill. + +They put the basket under a tree and took out the kite and the ball. Tom tied the kite to his wrist and ran with it. The wind lifted the kite high in the sky. Tom was happy and shouted, "Look, Sara, look how high my kite is!" Sara looked and smiled. She took the ball and threw it in the air. She caught it and threw it again. + +They played for a long time, until they felt hungry and thirsty. They went back to the tree, but they could not find the basket. They looked around and saw a big dog running away with the basket in its mouth. The dog had smelled the food and taken it. Sara and Tom were sad and angry. They chased the dog, but it was too fast and disappeared. + +They sat on the grass and cried. They had no food, no juice, and no basket. They were hungry, thirsty, and tired. They wished they had not hurried to the hill and left the basket alone. They wished they had waited and eaten first. + +A lady who was walking her dog saw them and felt sorry for them. She came over and asked them what was wrong. They told her what had happened. She said, "Oh, you poor children. That was a naughty dog. But you know, you should always watch your things and not leave them unattended. You should also be modest and not show off your toys. Sometimes, other people or animals might want them and take them. Here, I have some cookies and water in my bag. You can have some and share with me. And I will give you a ride home." + +Sara and Tom thanked the lady and took the cookies and water. They felt better and learned a lesson. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They promised to be more careful and modest next time. They ate the cookies and drank the water with the lady. Then they got in her car and went home. They still liked to play together, but they never forgot to watch their things and to wait and eat first. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the yard. They had a big ball, a small bike, and a swing. They shared their toys and had fun. + +One day, a dog came to the yard. It was a big dog, with black fur and sharp teeth. It saw the ball and wanted to play with it. It ran to the ball and bit it. The ball popped and made a loud noise. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They ran to the swing and climbed on it. They hoped the dog would go away. But the dog was persistent. It followed them to the swing and barked at them. It wanted the swing too. + +Tom and Lily did not know what to do. They did not want to give the swing to the dog. They wanted to play with it. They wished their mom or dad would come and provide help. + +They saw their mom in the window. She saw the dog too. She came out of the house and shouted at the dog. The dog was afraid of her. It dropped the ball and ran away. + +Tom and Lily were happy. They hugged their mom and thanked her. She gave them a new ball and a hug. They went back to the swing and played with it. They did not see the dog again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily said. "Do you like the cold?" + +The snowman did not move or talk. He just smiled with his carrot nose. + +"Maybe he is shy," Ben said. "Or maybe he is too cold to move." + +They heard a voice behind them. It was their elderly neighbor, Mrs. Gray. She was walking her dog, Spot. + +"Hello, children," Mrs. Gray said. "What a nice snowman you have made. He looks very friendly." + +"Thank you, Mrs. Gray," Lily and Ben said. "We like him a lot. But he does not move or talk. Is he too cold?" + +Mrs. Gray smiled. She bent down and touched the snowman's hat. + +"No, he is not too cold," she said. "He is just a snowman. Snowmen do not move or talk. They are made of snow. They are not alive like you and me and Spot." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt a little sad. + +"But we want him to be alive," Lily said. "We want him to play with us." + +Mrs. Gray hugged them gently. + +"I know, dear," she said. "But you can still have fun with him. You can pretend he is alive. You can tell him stories and jokes and sing him songs. You can make him happy with your imagination." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They liked the idea. + +"Okay, Mrs. Gray," Ben said. "We will do that. Thank you for telling us." + +"You are welcome, children," Mrs. Gray said. "Have fun and stay warm. Come on, Spot. Let's go home." + +She waved goodbye and walked away with her dog. + +Lily and Ben turned to the snowman. They smiled. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman," they said. "We have a lot to tell you. Do you want to hear?" +Lila was a bird who liked to fly. She flew high and low, fast and slow, over trees and houses and fields. She saw many things and made many friends. She was happy and free. + +One day, she saw something new and shiny on a branch. It was round and green and looked tasty. She flew closer and saw that it was an olive. She had never seen an olive before. She wondered what it was and how it tasted. + +She decided to try it. She landed on the branch and picked the olive with her beak. She bit it and felt a sour and bitter taste. She did not like it at all. She spat it out and made a face. She felt a pain in her mouth and throat. She coughed and choked. + +She did not know that the olive was not ripe and had a pit inside. The pit was hard and sharp and hurt her. She was scared and sad. She wanted to fly away, but she could not. She felt weak and dizzy. + +She cried for help. She hoped that someone would hear her and help her. She wished she had not eaten the unknown olive. She learned a lesson. She would not try new things without asking first. She would be more careful and happy. +Tim and Liz are friends who like to play in the pool. They have a game where they dive and look for toys under the water. Tim is good at diving and can hold his breath for a long time. Liz is not so good at diving and sometimes gets water in her nose. + +One day, they find a new toy in the pool. It is a tea set with cups and a pot. Tim dives and grabs the pot. He comes up and shows it to Liz. + +"Look, Liz, I found a tea pot! Let's have a tea party under the water!" he says. + +Liz thinks that sounds fun, but she is a little scared. She does not like to dive too deep or too long. + +"Can we have a tea party on the edge of the pool instead?" she asks. + +Tim shakes his head. He wants to dive and have a tea party under the water. He thinks that is more exciting. + +"Come on, Liz, don't be afraid. I will help you. I am reliable. You can trust me," he says. + +Liz looks at Tim and sees that he is smiling. She likes Tim and knows that he is reliable. He is always nice to her and shares his toys. She decides to try to dive and have a tea party under the water with him. + +"Okay, Tim, I will try. But you have to hold my hand and stay close to me," she says. + +Tim nods and holds Liz's hand. They take a deep breath and dive together. They see the cups and the tea pot under the water. They pretend to pour tea and drink it. They make bubbles and laugh. They have fun. + +Liz is happy that she tried to dive and have a tea party under the water with Tim. She is not so scared anymore. She thinks that diving is fun. She is glad that Tim is her friend. He is reliable. +Sara and Tom were playing in the yard. They liked to pick flowers and make crowns for their dolls. Sara saw a big, red flower that looked very pretty. She ran to pick it, but Tom stopped her. + +"No, Sara, don't pick that flower!" Tom said. "It is a rose. It has sharp things on the stem. They can hurt you." + +Sara did not listen to Tom. She wanted the red flower. She reached out her hand and tried to pick it. But she felt a sting on her finger. She cried out in pain and dropped the flower. She looked at her finger and saw a drop of blood. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara sobbed. "It hurts, Tom, it hurts!" + +Tom ran to Sara and hugged her. He took her to their mom, who washed her finger and put a band-aid on it. She kissed Sara and told her to be careful. + +"Sara, you should listen to Tom. He knows about roses. He learned from dad, who grows them in the garden. Roses are beautiful, but they have thorns. Thorns can hurt you if you touch them. You have to be gentle and respectful with roses, and with all living things." + +Sara nodded and said she was sorry. She hugged Tom and thanked him for helping her. She learned her lesson. She decided to pick only the dull, yellow flowers that had no thorns. They were not as pretty as the roses, but they were safe and friendly. She and Tom made crowns for their dolls and played happily in the yard. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big red ball. They kick the ball to each other. They have fun. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the ball. The dog runs to the ball. The dog grabs the ball with his teeth. The dog runs away with the ball. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Tim shouts. "Give it back!" + +"Bad dog!" Jen says. "We want our ball!" + +Tim and Jen run after the dog. The dog is fast. The dog goes to the pond. The dog drops the ball in the water. The ball floats on the water. + +"Oh no!" Tim says. "Our ball is in the pond!" + +"How can we get it?" Jen asks. + +Tim has an idea. He sees a big boot near the pond. The boot is dirty and old. But Tim does not care. He puts the boot on his hand. He pretends the boot is a puppet. + +"Hello, I am Booty the boot!" Tim says in a funny voice. "I can help you!" + +"Really?" Jen says. "How?" + +"Watch me!" Tim says. He walks to the pond. He reaches the boot to the ball. He grabs the ball with the boot. He pulls the ball out of the water. + +"Yay!" Jen says. "You did it! You rescued our ball!" + +"Thank you, Booty!" Tim says. He takes the boot off his hand. He gives the ball to Jen. They hug. + +They are happy. They are ready to play again. They kick the ball to each other. They have fun. +Tim and Mia are best friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. Sometimes they share, and sometimes they want the same car or truck. + +One day, they are playing with a big red car. It can speed very fast and make loud noises. Tim wants to speed with the car, but Mia wants to speed with the car too. They both pull the car and say, "Mine! Mine!" + +They start to fight over the car. They push and pull and shout. They do not listen to each other. They do not have fun. + +Mom hears the fight and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tim and Mia fighting over the car. She is not happy. She says, "Stop! Stop! Fighting is not nice. You have to share and take turns. If you cannot share, you cannot play with the car." + +Tim and Mia feel embarrassed. They know Mom is right. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Tim. Sorry, Mia." They hug and make up. They decide to share and take turns. They speed with the car together and have fun. They are best friends again. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Lily had a yellow car that was her favorite. Ben had a blue car that was his favorite. + +"Let's have a race!" Ben said. "The first one to reach the fence wins!" + +"OK!" Lily said. "But be careful. Don't wreck your car or mine." + +They lined up their cars on the grass and counted to three. Then they pushed them as hard as they could. The cars rolled and bounced and skidded. Lily's yellow car was faster than Ben's blue car. It was almost at the fence. + +But then, a big dog came running from the other side of the fence. It saw the yellow car and thought it was a ball. It jumped over the fence and grabbed the car in its mouth. It shook it and bit it and tore it apart. + +Lily screamed. "No! My car! My yellow car!" + +Ben ran to her and hugged her. He was sad too. He liked Lily's yellow car. It reminded him of the sun. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "The dog was bad. He wrecked your car." + +Lily cried. She loved her car. It reminded her of her dad. He gave it to her before he went away. + +"It's OK, Ben," she said. "You didn't wreck it. You were nice. You can have my blue car. It's yours now." + +Ben smiled. He liked Lily's blue car. It reminded him of the sky. He gave her his red car. It was hers now. + +"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are my best friend." + +They hugged and played with their new cars. They were happy again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of sand and some toys. They liked to make sand castles and dig holes. + +"Look, I found a lemon!" Lily said, holding up a yellow fruit. "It smells good. Can we eat it?" + +Tom shook his head. "No, lemons are sour. They make your face funny. Let's bury it in the sand. Maybe it will grow into a lemon tree." + +"Okay, let's bury it." Lily agreed. They dug a deep hole and put the lemon inside. Then they covered it with sand and patted it down. + +"Bye bye, lemon. See you soon." They said. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud bark. It was Max, their black dog. He ran towards them, wagging his tail. He smelled the lemon under the sand and started to dig it out. + +"Hey, stop that!" Tom shouted. "That's our lemon. We buried it for later." + +Max did not listen. He dug faster and faster, until he reached the lemon. He grabbed it with his mouth and ran away. + +"Come back, Max!" Lily cried. "Give us our lemon!" + +But Max was too fast. He ran to the other side of the garden and hid under a bush. He bit the lemon and made a funny face. He did not like the sour taste. He dropped the lemon and ran away again. + +Tom and Lily ran after him. They saw the lemon on the ground. It was dirty and had teeth marks. + +"Aw, Max ruined our lemon." Tom said, picking it up. + +"Maybe we can find another one." Lily said, trying to cheer him up. + +They looked around the garden, but they did not see any more lemons. They only saw apples, oranges, and bananas. + +"Maybe we can bury an apple instead." Tom suggested. + +"Or an orange." Lily said. + +"Or a banana." Tom said. + +They smiled at each other and picked their favorite fruit. They went back to the sand and dug another hole. They buried their fruit and hoped it would grow into a tree. + +They did not notice that Max was watching them from behind the bush. He licked his lips and waited for them to leave. He liked apples, oranges, and bananas. He did not like lemons. He decided to dig them out later. He was a naughty dog. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of dolls, cars, blocks and books. But her favorite toy was a fake phone. She liked to pretend she was talking to her friends, her family and even animals. + +One day, she found an envelope on the table. It was big and white and had a stamp on it. She wondered what was inside. She opened the envelope and saw a card with a picture of a cake and candles. It said "Happy Birthday, Lily!" She was so happy. She looked at the back of the card and saw a name. It was from her grandma, who lived far away. + +She wanted to call her grandma and say thank you. She ran to her room and grabbed her fake phone. She dialed the numbers and said "Hello, grandma! I got your card. Thank you so much. I love you!" She waited for an answer, but there was none. She tried again and again, but she only heard silence. + +She felt sad and confused. Why didn't her grandma talk to her? She went to the living room and saw her mom napping on the couch. She woke her up and showed her the card and the phone. She said "Mom, I can't talk to grandma. My phone doesn't work. Why?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said "Lily, your phone is fake. It's not a real phone. It's a toy. You can't talk to grandma with it. You need a real phone. Do you want to use mine?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said "Yes, please. I want to talk to grandma." Her mom gave her her phone and helped her dial the numbers. She heard a voice say "Hello, who is this?" She said "Hi, grandma! It's me, Lily. I got your card. Thank you so much. I love you!" + +She heard her grandma laugh and say "I love you too, Lily. Happy birthday, my sweet girl. I'm so glad you liked the card. How are you? What are you doing?" + +Lily told her grandma about her toys, her nap, her fake phone and her mom. They talked for a long time and had a lot of fun. Lily felt happy and warm. She learned that fake things can be fun, but real things are better. She learned that she can always talk to her grandma, even if she lives far away. She learned that she is loved and special. She said goodbye to her grandma and thanked her mom. She put the card on her shelf and the phone in her toy box. She went to play with her other toys, but she kept thinking about her grandma and her real phone. She was looking forward to talking to her again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside with their scooters. One day, they see a big hill near the park. Anna wants to go up the hill and ride down fast. Ben is scared of the hill. He thinks it is too high and steep. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go up the hill. It will be fun!" Anna says. + +"No, thank you. I like to stay here. The hill is not fun. It is scary." Ben says. + +Anna thinks Ben is lazy. She does not want to play with him anymore. She goes up the hill by herself. She rides down fast and feels happy. She laughs and shouts. + +Ben watches Anna from the bottom of the hill. He feels lonely and sad. He wishes he was brave like Anna. He wants to play with her again. + +"Anna, wait for me. I want to try the hill too." Ben says. + +Anna stops and looks at Ben. She smiles and nods. She is glad that Ben changed his mind. She goes back up the hill with him. She helps him ride down slowly and safely. + +"See, Ben, the hill is not scary. It is fun. You did it!" Anna says. + +Ben feels proud and happy. He smiles and shrugs. He is not lazy. He is brave. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. The hill is fun. I like it." Ben says. + +Anna and Ben hug and laugh. They play with their scooters on the hill and in the park. They have a lot of fun. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben are playing with their dolls. Lily has a pink cloth that she likes to use as a dress for her doll. Ben has a blue cloth that he uses as a cape for his superhero doll. + +"Can I have your cloth?" Ben asks Lily. "My doll needs a new cape." + +"No, you can't," Lily says. "This is my cloth. You have your own cloth." + +"But your cloth is prettier," Ben says. "Please, give it to me." + +Lily shakes her head. "No, no, no. Go away." + +Ben gets angry. He tries to grab Lily's cloth, but Lily holds it tight. They pull and tug on the cloth, making loud noises. + +"Stop it, stop it, stop it!" Lily yells. + +"Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me!" Ben yells. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lily and Ben fighting over the cloth. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting?" + +"Lily won't give me her cloth," Ben says. + +"Ben wants to take my cloth," Lily says. + +Mom sighs. She takes the cloth from their hands and folds it in half. + +"Look, this cloth is big enough for both of you," Mom says. "You can share it. Lily, you can use one half as a dress for your doll. Ben, you can use the other half as a cape for your doll. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben look at the cloth. They see that Mom is right. The cloth is big enough for both of them. + +"Okay, Mom," Lily says. + +"Okay, Mom," Ben says. + +They take their halves of the cloth and go back to playing with their dolls. They are happy and stop fighting. + +Mom smiles. She thinks they are silly, but she loves them. She gives them a hug and a kiss. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their boat. They had a big boat that they could sit in and row on the lake. They also had a small boat that they could push in the water and watch it float. + +One day, they went to the lake with their boat. Tim wanted to play with the big boat, but Sam wanted to play with the small boat. They started to fight over the boat. They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other. + +An old man was sitting on a bench near the lake. He was deaf, so he could not hear their noise. But he could see their faces and their actions. He felt sad for them. He walked over to them and tapped them on the shoulder. They stopped fighting and looked at him. + +The old man smiled and pointed to his ears. He shook his head and made a sign with his hand that meant "no". He wanted to tell them that he could not hear. Then he pointed to his eyes and made a sign with his hand that meant "yes". He wanted to tell them that he could see. He pointed to their boat and made a sign with his hand that meant "share". He wanted to tell them that they should share their boat. + +Tim and Sam understood what the old man meant. They felt ashamed of their fight. They nodded and smiled at the old man. They thanked him with their hands and their mouths. Then they decided to take turns with the big boat and the small boat. They played happily on the lake and had fun. + +The moral of the story is: You should share your things with others and not fight over them. You can make friends and have fun if you share. You can also learn from people who are different from you and respect them. +Lily and Ben were playing in the attic. They liked to find old things and make up stories about them. Lily saw a big box with a shiny ribbon. She wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +"Look, Ben, a present!" she said. "Let's cut the ribbon and see!" + +Ben was not sure. He saw a lot of dust on the box and felt uncomfortable. He thought the box might belong to someone else. + +"Maybe we should not touch it, Lily," he said. "It looks old and dirty. Maybe it has bugs or spiders." + +Lily did not listen. She took a pair of scissors and cut the ribbon. She lifted the lid and smiled. Inside the box, there was a beautiful doll with long hair and a pink dress. + +"Wow, she is so pretty!" Lily said. "I want to play with her!" + +She reached for the doll, but as soon as she touched it, she screamed. The doll was not a toy, but a trap. It had sharp teeth and claws that bit and scratched Lily's hand. Lily dropped the doll and the box and ran away, crying and bleeding. + +Ben was scared too. He tried to help Lily, but the doll was not done. It jumped out of the box and chased them. It was fast and angry. It wanted to hurt them more. + +Lily and Ben ran down the stairs, but they were too late. The doll caught them and bit and scratched them all over. They fell to the floor, hurt and scared. They wished they had not cut the ribbon. They wished they had left the box alone. They wished someone would come and save them. But no one did. The doll was the only one who heard their cries. And it did not care. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park. They see a big fountain. The water goes up and down. It makes a loud sound. + +"Look, Ben, the water is so pretty!" Mia says. + +"Yes, it is. Do you want to make a wish?" Ben asks. + +"How do we make a wish?" Mia wonders. + +Ben says, "We close our eyes, think of something we want, and clap our hands three times." + +Mia nods. She closes her eyes. She thinks of a new doll. She claps her hands three times. Ben does the same. He thinks of a new bike. He claps his hands three times. + +They open their eyes. They smile at each other. + +"Did you make a wish?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, I did. Did you?" Mia replies. + +"Yes, I did. I hope our wishes come true." Ben says. + +They hug each other. They are happy. + +A man is sitting on a bench near the fountain. He is deaf. He cannot hear the water or the children. He watches them play. He sees them close their eyes and clap their hands. He wonders what they are doing. + +He gets up and walks to them. He smiles. He points to his ears. He shakes his head. He wants to tell them he cannot hear. + +Ben and Mia look at him. They are curious. They do not understand. + +The man points to the fountain. He makes a gesture of throwing a coin. He wants to tell them he knows they are making a wish. + +Ben and Mia nod. They understand. They point to their eyes and their hearts. They want to tell him they are happy. + +The man nods. He understands. He points to the sky and his mouth. He wants to tell them he hopes their wishes come true. + +Ben and Mia nod. They understand. They clap their hands. They want to tell him they are thankful. + +The man nods. He understands. He claps his hands. He wants to tell them he is glad. + +They smile at each other. They are friends. +Sara was sick. She had a bad cough and could not breathe well. Her lung was not working right. Mom took her to the doctor. The doctor gave her some medicine and a mask. He said the mask would help her lung improve. + +Sara did not like the mask. It was tight and itchy. She wanted to take it off. But Mom said she had to wear it. She said it was a lovely mask, with flowers and stars on it. She said it was a magic mask, that would make her feel better. + +Sara tried to believe Mom. She wore the mask every day. She took her medicine too. She still coughed a lot, but not as much as before. She could breathe a little easier. She started to play with her toys again. She smiled more. + +One day, Mom said they had to go back to the doctor. Sara was scared. She did not want to see the doctor again. She did not want to wear the mask anymore. She wanted to be well. Mom said it was okay. She said the doctor would check her lung and see how much it had improved. She said maybe Sara could take off the mask soon. + +Sara hoped Mom was right. She held Mom's hand as they walked to the doctor's office. She saw the doctor smile at her. He said hello and asked her how she was. He listened to her lung with a stethoscope. He looked at her mask. He nodded and said something to Mom. Sara could not hear what he said. + +Mom hugged Sara and said, "Good news, Sara! Your lung is much better! You don't need to wear the mask anymore! You can breathe normally now! You did a great job, Sara! I'm so proud of you!" + +Sara felt happy. She took off the mask and threw it in the trash. She felt the air on her face. She breathed deeply. She did not cough. She felt well. She thanked the doctor and Mom. She said, "I'm glad my lung improved. I'm glad I don't need the mask anymore. It was a lovely mask, but I like breathing better." +Tom and Anna are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like to pretend that they are in a school. Tom is the teacher and Anna is the student. Tom has a big chair and a book. Anna has a small chair and a paper. + +"Anna, what is this?" Tom asks, pointing to a picture in the book. It is a picture of a cat. + +"It is a cat," Anna replies, looking at the picture. She likes cats. They are soft and cute. + +"Good, Anna. You are smart," Tom says, smiling. He turns the page. "What is this?" He points to a picture of a car. + +"It is a car," Anna replies, looking at the picture. She likes cars. They are fast and loud. + +"Good, Anna. You are very smart," Tom says, smiling more. He turns the page. "What is this?" He points to a picture of a chair. + +Anna looks at the picture. She knows what it is. It is easy. She has a chair. Tom has a chair. They are sitting on chairs. + +"It is a chair," Anna replies, looking at Tom. She smiles. She thinks Tom is funny. + +"Good, Anna. You are very, very smart," Tom says, laughing. He closes the book. "You know everything. You are the best student." + +"Thank you, Tom. You are the best teacher," Anna says, laughing too. They hug each other. They are happy. They like to play. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they make a big mess. Their mom does not like that. She tells them to be tidy and put their toys away. + +One day, Ben and Lily are playing with their blocks. They build a tall tower. Lily is proud of her tower. She says, "Look, Ben, my tower is bigger than yours!" + +Ben is not happy. He wants to have a bigger tower. He decides to tease Lily. He says, "Your tower is silly. It will fall down soon. Watch this!" He pushes his tower and makes it crash into Lily's tower. Both towers fall down and the blocks go everywhere. + +Lily is angry. She cries, "Ben, you are mean! You broke my tower! Mom, Ben broke my tower!" + +Mom hears Lily cry. She comes to their room. She sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Ben and Lily, what did you do? Why did you make such a mess? Ben, why did you tease Lily and break her tower? That was not nice. You need to say sorry to Lily and help her rebuild her tower. And both of you need to clean up this mess. Now!" + +Ben and Lily feel sorry. They say sorry to each other and hug. They help each other rebuild their towers. They also pick up the blocks and put them away. They make their room tidy. Mom sees their room. She smiles. She says, "Good job, Ben and Lily. You are good twins. You learned your lesson. Now you can play nicely. But no more teasing, okay?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They say, "Okay, Mom. No more teasing. We love you, Mom." + +Mom hugs them. She says, "I love you too, Ben and Lily. You are my sweet twins." +Lily and Ben were very hungry. They wanted to eat turkey for lunch. But Mom was busy. She was talking on the phone. She did not hear them. + +"Mom, mom, can we have turkey?" Lily asked. She pulled Mom's skirt. + +"Mom, mom, please?" Ben said. He jumped up and down. + +But Mom did not answer. She was deaf to their voices. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They had an idea. They decided to try to make turkey by themselves. They went to the kitchen. They found a big turkey in the fridge. They put it on a tray. They pushed it into the oven. They turned the knob. + +"Yay, we did it!" Lily and Ben cheered. They waited for the turkey to cook. + +But they did not know how long to wait. They did not know how hot to make the oven. They did not know how to check the turkey. They forgot to ask Mom. + +Soon, the kitchen was full of smoke. The turkey was burned. The oven was beeping. The fire alarm was ringing. + +Mom heard the noise. She dropped the phone. She ran to the kitchen. She saw the mess. She was shocked. She was angry. She was scared. + +"What are you doing?" Mom yelled. She turned off the oven. She took out the turkey. She opened the window. + +"We tried to make turkey, Mom," Lily and Ben said. They looked sad. They looked sorry. + +Mom sighed. She hugged them. She was glad they were not hurt. + +"I know you tried, but you should never cook without me," Mom said. "Cooking is dangerous. You could have started a fire. You could have hurt yourselves." + +"We're sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben said. They hugged her back. + +Mom smiled. She was not mad anymore. She loved them. + +"It's okay, I forgive you," Mom said. "But next time, please wait for me. And please listen to me when I talk to you." + +"We will, Mom," Lily and Ben said. They nodded. + +Mom threw away the turkey. She made some sandwiches for lunch. They ate together. They talked and laughed. They were happy. +Sara loves to play with her mom's jewelry. She likes to put on the shiny rings, the pretty necklaces and the sparkly earrings. She feels like a princess when she wears them. + +One day, Sara finds a new box of jewelry in her mom's closet. She opens it and sees many colorful beads and strings. She thinks they are for making more jewelry. She takes them to her room and starts to make a bracelet. + +She picks a red bead, a blue bead, a yellow bead and a green bead. She puts them on the string and ties a knot. She tries to put the bracelet on her wrist, but it is too big. She thinks she needs more beads. + +She picks a pink bead, a purple bead, a orange bead and a white bead. She puts them on the string and ties another knot. She tries to put the bracelet on her wrist, but it is still too big. She thinks she needs more beads. + +She picks a black bead, a brown bead, a gold bead and a silver bead. She puts them on the string and ties another knot. She tries to put the bracelet on her wrist, but it is way too big. She thinks she has too many beads. + +She looks at the bracelet and sees that it is very long and heavy. She thinks it is not good. She wants to make a new one. She tries to untie the knots, but they are too tight. She pulls and pulls, but they do not come off. + +She gets frustrated and starts to cry. She sneezes and the bracelet flies off her wrist. It lands on the floor and breaks. The beads roll everywhere. She hears her mom coming. + +"Sara, what are you doing?" her mom asks. + +"Mom, I'm sorry, I broke your jewelry," Sara says. + +"My jewelry? What jewelry?" her mom says. + +She sees the beads and the string on the floor. She smiles and hugs Sara. + +"Sara, these are not my jewelry. These are your jewelry. I bought them for you to make your own bracelets. You can use as many beads as you want. You can make them big or small. You can make them any way you like. They are for you to have fun and be creative," her mom says. + +"Really? For me?" Sara says. + +"Yes, for you. You are my good girl. I love you," her mom says. + +"I love you too, mom. Thank you for the jewelry. Can we make more bracelets together?" Sara says. + +"Of course we can. Let's pick up the beads and start again," her mom says. + +They pick up the beads and the string and go to the table. They make more bracelets and have a good time. Sara feels happy and proud of her jewelry. She thinks her mom is the best. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They also liked to find things. They looked for rocks, leaves and bugs. + +One day, they saw a big box near a tree. It was brown and had a lid. They were curious. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they saw many toys. There were dolls, cars, balls and books. They were happy. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Anna said. "Can we play with them?" + +"Sure, let's play!" Ben said. "I want this car. It has a button. Look, when I press it, it makes a noise. Beep beep!" + +Anna picked up a doll. It had a dress, a hat and a bow. It also had a button. "Look, my doll has a button too. When I press it, it claps. Clap clap!" + +They played with the toys for a long time. They made noises, stories and fun. They did not see a man watching them from behind the tree. He was angry. He was the owner of the box. He had hidden it there. He did not want to share his toys. He wanted them all for himself. + +He came out from behind the tree. He shouted at Anna and Ben. "Hey, you two! Get away from my box! Those are my toys! Give them back!" + +Anna and Ben were scared. They dropped the toys and ran away. They did not want to play with the mean man. They wanted to play with nice people. They ran to their mom and dad. They hugged them and told them what happened. + +Mom and dad were sorry. They said, "We're sorry you met a mean man. He should not have hidden his toys. He should have shared them. Sharing is good. Sharing makes friends. You are good at sharing. We are proud of you." + +Anna and Ben smiled. They said, "Thank you, mom and dad. We love you. We love sharing. We love our friends." + +They clapped their hands. Clap clap! +Lila was a little girl who loved to play in the forest. She liked to climb trees, pick flowers and chase butterflies. But she did not listen to her mother, who told her to stay away from the big rocks. The big rocks were the home of a leopard, who was very hungry and angry. + +One day, Lila saw a shiny red berry on a bush near the big rocks. She wanted to taste it, so she ran towards it. She did not see the leopard, who was hiding behind the rocks. The leopard saw Lila and thought she would make a good snack. He jumped out of his hiding place and ran after Lila. + +Lila was scared and screamed. She tried to run away, but the leopard was faster. He caught her by the leg and bit her hard. Lila cried and begged the leopard to let her go. + +"Please, Mr. Leopard, please don't eat me!" she said. "I have a mother who loves me and a brother who plays with me. I don't want to die!" + +The leopard was troubled by Lila's words. He remembered his own family, who had been killed by hunters. He felt sorry for Lila and let her go. + +"Go away, little girl, and don't come back to the big rocks," he said. "This is my home, and I don't like visitors. And listen to your mother, she knows what is best for you." + +Lila ran back to her mother, who hugged her and kissed her. She was happy that Lila was safe, but also angry that she had disobeyed her. She scolded Lila and told her to never go near the big rocks again. + +Lila learned her lesson. She was sorry for making her mother worry and for bothering the leopard. She never went near the big rocks again. She played in the forest, but always stayed close to her mother. She was grateful to the leopard, who had spared her life. She understood that some animals are not meant to be friends, and that some places are not meant to be explored. +Sara and Tom were twins who loved to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run around with their friends. But they did not like to bathe. They thought it was boring and cold and made them smell like soap. + +One day, they saw a family of otters in the pond. The otters were very cute and playful. They swam, dived, and splashed in the water. They also had a lot of fun grooming each other and keeping their fur clean and shiny. + +"Look at the otters, Sara," Tom said. "They are so happy and organized. They bathe every day and help each other." + +"Yes, Tom," Sara said. "They are very smart and friendly. They bathe because they know it is good for them and their family." + +Sara and Tom watched the otters for a while and learned from them. They saw how the otters enjoyed the water and how they stayed healthy and cozy. They also saw how the otters respected and loved each other. + +"Maybe we should try to bathe more often, Sara," Tom said. "Maybe it is not so bad after all." + +"Maybe you are right, Tom," Sara said. "Maybe it is fun and nice to bathe. And maybe it will make us and our parents happy too." + +So Sara and Tom decided to give bathing a chance. They went home with their parents and took a warm and bubbly bath. They washed their hair, their face, and their body. They played with their toys and sang songs in the tub. They felt fresh and relaxed and smelled like flowers. + +They also hugged and thanked their parents for taking care of them and teaching them. They realized that bathing was not only good for them, but also for their family. They learned to be more organized and responsible, like the otters. + +And from that day on, Sara and Tom never complained about bathing again. They looked forward to it every night and made it a fun and loving ritual. They also visited the otters in the park often and became friends with them. They were happy and grateful for their new lesson. + +The moral of the story is: bathing is good for you and your family. It helps you stay clean, healthy, and cozy. It also shows that you respect and love yourself and others. You can learn from the otters and make bathing a fun and organized activity. +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big horse that they could ride on. The horse was brown and soft and made funny noises when they pressed its ear. + +One day, Tim and Sam had a fight over the horse. Tim wanted to ride it first, but Sam said he had it first. They both pulled the horse and shouted at each other. + +"Let go of my horse!" Tim said. + +"No, it is my horse!" Sam said. + +They were so harsh that they made the horse cry. The horse felt sad and hurt by their words and actions. It wished they would be nice and share. + +Then, Tim and Sam heard a voice from the window. It was their mom, who saw what they were doing. + +"Boys, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over the horse? Don't you know that the horse is not yours or mine, but ours? We share the horse, and we share our love. Fighting is not good, it makes everyone unhappy. You should be kind and gentle to each other and to the horse." + +Tim and Sam felt ashamed of what they had done. They looked at the horse and saw its tears. They felt sorry for the horse and for each other. + +They let go of the horse and hugged it. They said sorry to the horse and to each other. + +"I am sorry, Sam. You can ride the horse first." Tim said. + +"I am sorry, Tim. You can ride the horse next." Sam said. + +They smiled and took turns riding the horse. The horse smiled too and made happy noises. They played together and had fun. + +They learned that sharing is caring, and that being harsh is not nice. They thanked their mom for teaching them this lesson. They were happy and the horse was happy too. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today is a warm day. The sun is bright and the sky is blue. + +"Let's paint something!" Anna says. She has a box of paints and a big paper. Ben nods. He likes to paint too. + +They sit on the grass and open the box. Anna picks a red paint. She paints a big heart. Ben picks a green paint. He paints a big tree. They paint more things. They paint a house, a dog, a flower and a star. + +"Look at our painting!" Anna says. "It is very pretty!" + +"I like it!" Ben says. "Can we hang it on the swing?" + +They run to the swing. It is near the slide and the sandbox. They find a string and tie the painting to the swing. They push the swing. The painting flies in the air. + +"Wow!" Anna says. "It looks like a flag!" + +"It does!" Ben says. "Let's swing too!" + +They take turns on the swing. They go high and low. They feel the wind on their faces. They laugh and have fun. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big red car. They take turns to drive the car and pretend to go to different places. + +One day, they decide to go to a restaurant with their car. They park the car outside and walk in. They see a nice lady with a white apron. She smiles at them and gives them a menu. + +"What do you want to order?" she asks. + +"I want a pizza with cheese and ham," Anna says. + +"I want a burger with fries and ketchup," Ben says. + +"OK, I will bring your food soon," the lady says. She writes down their order and goes to the kitchen. + +Anna and Ben sit at a table and wait. They look at the clock on the wall. It shows twelve o'clock. + +"It is noon," Anna says. "We are hungry." + +"Me too," Ben says. "I hope our food comes fast." + +They wait and wait. They see other people get their food, but not them. They start to get bored and restless. + +"Where is our food?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. + +They look at the lady. She is busy with other customers. She does not see them. + +Anna has an idea. She gets up and walks to the kitchen. She opens the door and looks inside. She sees a big oven, a stove, a fridge, and many pots and pans. She also sees a man with a white hat and a white coat. He is the cook. He is making food for the people. + +"Hello," Anna says. + +The cook looks at her and is surprised. He does not expect to see a little girl in the kitchen. + +"Hello," he says. "Who are you?" + +"I am Anna. I am here with my brother Ben. We ordered pizza and burger, but we did not get them. We are hungry. Can you please make our food?" Anna says. + +The cook smiles. He thinks Anna is very cute and brave. He also feels sorry for her and Ben. + +"I am sorry, little one. I did not know you were waiting. I will make your food right away. You can sit here and watch me," he says. + +He takes out some dough, cheese, ham, tomato sauce, bread, meat, fries, and ketchup. He makes a pizza and a burger for Anna and Ben. He puts them in a big tray and gives them to Anna. + +"Here you go. Enjoy your food. And next time, please do not come to the kitchen. It is not safe for you. You can ask the lady for help," he says. + +"Thank you, sir. You are very nice. And your food smells good. Come on, Ben. Let's eat," Anna says. + +She takes the tray and walks back to the table. Ben is happy to see the food. He jumps up and hugs Anna. + +"Wow, Anna. You are awesome. You got our food. How did you do it?" he asks. + +"I went to the kitchen and talked to the cook. He was very nice. He made our food fast. But he said we should not go to the kitchen again. It is not safe," Anna says. + +They sit down and eat their food. They like it very much. It is hot and tasty. They finish everything and feel full and happy. + +The lady comes to their table and sees the empty tray. She is confused. She does not remember bringing them their food. + +"Did you enjoy your food?" she asks. + +"Yes, we did. It was very good. Thank you," Anna and Ben say. + +"Who brought you your food?" the lady asks. + +"Anna did. She went to the kitchen and got it," Ben says. + +The lady is shocked. She does not believe it. She thinks Ben is joking. + +"Ben, that is not true. That is silly. You cannot go to the kitchen. It is not for children. You have to wait for me to bring you your food," she says. + +"But it is true. Anna did go to the kitchen. She talked to the cook. He made our food. He was very nice. You can ask him," Anna says. + +The lady does not know what to say. She does not know if Anna and Ben are telling the truth or making up a story. She decides to check with the cook. She goes to the kitchen and asks him. + +"Did you see a little girl in the kitchen? Did you make food for her and her brother?" she asks. + +The cook nods. He tells her what happened. He says Anna and Ben were very polite and hungry. He says he made their food and gave it to Anna. He says he told them not to come to the kitchen again. + +The lady is amazed. She does not know how Anna and Ben managed +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hive on a tree. They wanted to see the bees and the honey. They walked closer to the hive, but they did not know it was dangerous. + +"Look, Ben, there are so many bees!" Lily said. + +"Yes, and they make honey. I want to taste some," Ben said. + +He reached out his hand to touch the hive, but a bee stung him. He cried out loud and ran away. Lily followed him. They ran to their mom, who was in the garden. + +"Mom, mom, Ben got stung by a bee!" Lily said. + +"Oh, no, let me see. Where does it hurt?" Mom said. + +She took Ben's hand and saw a red bump. She put some ice on it and gave him a hug. + +"It's okay, Ben. The ice will make it feel better. You were very brave," Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom. It still hurts a lot," Ben said. + +Lily felt sorry for her brother. She wanted to help him. + +"Mom, can we pray for Ben?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, we can. Praying is important. It helps us talk to God and ask for his help," Mom said. + +She held Ben and Lily's hands and bowed her head. + +"Dear God, please help Ben feel better. He got stung by a bee, and it was very painful. Please heal his wound and take away his pain. Thank you for giving us bees and honey, but also help us be careful around them. We love you, God. Amen," Mom prayed. + +"Amen," Ben and Lily said. + +They felt a warm feeling in their hearts. They knew God heard their prayer and cared for them. They hugged Mom and each other. They learned a lesson about bees and hives, and also about praying. +Lila and Ben were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They liked to look at the water and the fish and the birds. Sometimes they saw other boats and waved hello. + +One day, they saw a small island with trees and sand. Mom said they could go there and play. They took a small boat that fit on the big boat and went to the island. They were very happy. + +They found shells and rocks and sticks on the island. They made a castle with the sand and the shells. They pretended to be kings and queens. They said, "This is our island. We rule here." + +They also saw a crab and a bird on the island. They tried to talk to them, but they did not understand. The crab said, "Snip snip" and the bird said, "Tweet tweet". Lila and Ben said, "Hello, we are Lila and Ben. Do you want to play with us?" + +The crab and the bird looked at them and nodded. They joined them in their castle. They had fun together. The water was calm and the sun was warm. They felt very safe and cozy on the island. They said, "This is the best day ever." +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play by the lake. They had a small boat that they could sail on the water. One day, they saw a big cave on the other side of the lake. They wanted to explore it and see what was inside. + +"Let's sail to the cave, Ben!" Lila said. "Maybe we can find treasure or animals!" + +"OK, Lila, but we have to be careful. Mom said we should not go too far from the shore. And we have to be back before dark." Ben said. + +They sailed to the cave and tied their boat to a rock. They walked into the cave with a flashlight. It was dark and cold and wet. They saw some bats and spiders and rocks. They did not see any treasure or animals. + +"Ben, I'm scared. This cave is not fun. Let's go back to the boat." Lila said. + +"OK, Lila, let's go. But wait, what is that?" Ben said. He pointed to a shiny thing in the corner of the cave. It looked like a coin. + +"Wow, maybe it is treasure! Let's go and see!" Lila said. She ran to the shiny thing and picked it up. It was a coin, but it was not gold or silver. It was made of chocolate. + +"Yum, chocolate! I love chocolate!" Lila said. She bit the coin and smiled. + +"Me too, Lila! Can I have some?" Ben said. He ran to Lila and asked for a piece of the coin. + +"Sure, Ben, here you go." Lila said. She broke the coin and gave half to Ben. They ate the chocolate and enjoyed it. + +But they did not notice that the coin was not just chocolate. It was also magic. It made them very chubby and heavy. They felt their clothes getting tight and their feet getting sore. + +"Oh no, Lila, what is happening to us? We are getting chubby and heavy!" Ben said. + +"Oh no, Ben, you are right! We are getting chubby and heavy! How can we sail back to the shore? We are too big for the boat!" Lila said. + +They tried to get back to the boat, but they could not fit. They tried to swim, but they could not float. They tried to call for help, but no one heard them. They were stuck in the cave. + +They wished they had listened to their mom and not gone too far from the shore. They wished they had not been greedy and eaten the chocolate. They wished they had been more careful and not touched the shiny thing. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that curiosity is good, but caution is better. They learned that chocolate is tasty, but moderation is healthier. They learned that sailing is fun, but safety is important. + +The end. +Sara and Ben were twins who loved to play in the garden. They liked to look for bugs, flowers and fruits. One day, they saw a big peach tree with many ripe peaches. They ran to the tree and tried to reach the peaches. + +"Look, Sara, I found a big peach!" Ben said, holding a juicy peach in his hand. + +"Me too, Ben, me too!" Sara said, grabbing another peach. "Let's eat them!" + +They sat under the tree and bit into their peaches. They were sweet and soft. Sara and Ben smiled and licked their lips. + +But then, Sara felt something tickle her cheek. She looked and saw a tiny worm poking out of her peach. She screamed and threw the peach away. + +"Ew, ew, ew! A worm!" Sara cried. + +Ben heard Sara and looked at his peach. He saw a hole in it and a worm poking out too. He also screamed and threw his peach away. + +"Yuck, yuck, yuck! A worm!" Ben cried. + +They ran away from the tree, holding their hands. They were scared and sad. They did not want to eat worms. + +But then, they saw their mom coming out of the house. She had a big basket of peaches. She smiled and called them. + +"Sara, Ben, come here! I have a surprise for you!" Mom said. + +Sara and Ben ran to their mom and looked at the basket. They saw many peaches, but they were not from the tree. They were from the store. They were clean and shiny. They had no holes and no worms. + +"Mom, are these peaches for us?" Sara asked. + +"Yes, they are, my adorable twins. I bought them for you because I know you love peaches. And these peaches have no worms, I promise." Mom said. + +Sara and Ben hugged their mom and thanked her. They took a peach each and bit into them. They were sweet and soft. Sara and Ben smiled and licked their lips. + +They were happy and glad. They loved their mom and their peaches. And they never went near the peach tree again. +Lily and Max were playing outside in the sun. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They liked to splash each other and laugh. + +"Look, Max, I can make a big splash!" Lily said. She filled her cup with water and threw it at Max. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Max said. He got wet and cold. He filled his cup with water and threw it back at Lily. + +They splashed and splashed until the bucket was empty. Then they looked around for more water. + +"Let's go to the lawn!" Lily said. She saw a green hose on the grass. "Maybe we can find more water there." + +They ran to the lawn and picked up the hose. They turned the knob and waited for water to come out. But nothing happened. + +"Why is there no water?" Max asked. He shook the hose and pulled it. + +"Maybe the hose is broken," Lily said. She looked at the hose and saw a big hole in it. "See, there is a hole. The water is gone." + +"Oh no, what can we do?" Max said. He was sad. He wanted to splash more. + +Lily thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. + +"Let's go to the kitchen!" she said. "Maybe we can find more water there." + +They dropped the hose and ran to the kitchen. They saw a big sink with a shiny faucet. They turned the faucet and water came out. + +"Yay, we found more water!" Lily said. She filled her cup with water and splashed Max. + +"Yay, we can splash again!" Max said. He filled his cup with water and splashed Lily. + +They splashed and splashed until they heard a voice. + +"Lily, Max, what are you doing?" It was Mom. She saw the water on the floor and the cups in their hands. She was not happy. + +"Uh-oh, we are in trouble," Lily said. + +"Uh-oh, we are sorry, Mom," Max said. + +They put down their cups and looked at Mom. They hoped she would not be too mad. +Lily and Ben like to play sport. They run and kick a ball in the park. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. It barks and runs after them. Lily and Ben are scare. They drop the ball and run away. The dog chases them and wants the ball. + +They see a clear lake. They jump in the water. The dog stops and looks at them. It does not like water. It runs away. + +Lily and Ben are wet and cold. But they are happy. The dog is gone. They swim and splash in the lake. They find their ball and play sport again. They are not scare anymore. +Ben is a little boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a big truck, a soft bear and a noisy drum. He plays with them every day in his room. But today, he feels sleepy and his nose is tickly. He rubs his nose and sniffs. + +His mom comes in and sees him. She says, "Ben, are you OK? You look sleepy and your nose is red." She puts her hand on his forehead and says, "You are warm. You have a fever. You need to rest and drink some water." + +She takes him to his bed and tucks him in. She gives him a glass of water and a kiss. She says, "I will be back soon. Try to sleep, my sweet boy." She leaves the room and closes the door. + +Ben tries to sleep, but he cannot. His nose is still tickly and his throat is sore. He coughs and sneezes. He feels bad. He wants his mom. He calls her, "Mom, mom, where are you?" + +His mom hears him and comes back. She says, "I'm here, Ben. What's wrong?" She sits on his bed and hugs him. She says, "You are sick, Ben. You have a cold. It will go away soon. You just need to rest and drink some water. And take this medicine. It will help you feel better." + +She gives him a spoon of medicine and some more water. He makes a face and says, "Yuck, it tastes bad." She says, "I know, but it will help you. Now, close your eyes and try to sleep. I will stay with you until you fall asleep." + +She sings him a lullaby and strokes his hair. He feels her love and warmth. He closes his eyes and relaxes. He stops coughing and sneezing. He falls asleep in her arms. He dreams of his toys and his mom. He feels happy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box under a tree. The box has a letter on it. The letter is X. + +"What is in the box?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it," Sue says. + +They go to the box and pull the lid. It is dark inside. They hear a noise. + +"Hello," a voice says. "I am Rex. I am a fox. Can you introduce me to your friends?" + +Tom and Sue are scared. They see a red tail and two yellow eyes. They run away from the box. + +"Help!" they shout. "There is a fox in the box!" + +The other kids in the park hear them. They come to see what is wrong. They see the box with the letter X. They laugh. + +"That is not a fox. That is a puppet," they say. "Someone is playing a trick on you." + +They look inside the box. They see a boy with a microphone and a remote control. He is making the puppet talk. + +"Hi, I am Max. I am sorry I scared you. I just wanted to introduce you to Rex. He is my toy. Do you want to play with him?" he says. + +Tom and Sue are angry. They don't like the trick. They don't want to play with Max or Rex. They go to another tree. They find another box. The box has a letter on it. The letter is Z. They open it. It is dark inside. They hear a noise. + +"Roar!" a voice says. "I am Zee. I am a lion. Can you introduce me to your friends?" +Lila and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also like to make up stories and pretend to be different animals. + +One day, they decide to play hide and seek. Lila is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Lila counts to ten and then looks for Ben. She looks behind the trees, under the benches and in the bushes. She cannot find Ben anywhere. She starts to feel sad and lonely. + +She calls out, "Ben, where are you? I give up. Let's play something else." + +But Ben does not answer. He is hiding in a big cardboard box near the trash cans. He thinks he is very clever and he wants to win the game. He does not care if Lila is unhappy. He does not want to quit. + +Lila walks around the park, hoping to see Ben. She sees a friendly dog and a nice lady. She sees some birds and some flowers. She sees a lot of things, but she does not see Ben. She feels like crying. + +She says, "Ben, please come out. This is not fun anymore. You are not a dependable friend." + +Ben hears Lila's voice. He feels a little sorry, but he still does not want to quit. He thinks Lila will find him soon and then they can play again. He stays in the box and waits. + +But Lila does not find him. She decides to go home. She is very sad and angry. She thinks Ben is a bad friend. She does not want to play with him anymore. + +She says, "Goodbye, Ben. I hope you have fun in your box. I don't need you. I will find a new friend who is dependable and kind." + +She walks away, leaving Ben alone in the park. Ben realizes he made a big mistake. He jumps out of the box and runs after Lila. He calls out, "Lila, wait! I'm sorry! I quit! Please don't go!" + +But Lila does not hear him. She is too far away. Ben is too late. He lost the game and he lost his friend. He feels very sad and lonely. He wishes he had quit sooner. He learns a hard lesson. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes in the dirt and look for worms and bugs. They had a big bucket to put their finds in. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big worm!" Tom said, holding up a wriggly brown thing. + +"Wow, Tom, that's interesting!" Lily said, taking the worm and putting it in the bucket. "Maybe we can keep it as a pet." + +They dug some more holes and found more worms and bugs. They were having fun until they heard a loud bark. + +"Oh no, it's Spot!" Lily said, looking up. Spot was their dog, and he loved to chase and play with anything that moved. + +Spot ran towards them, wagging his tail. He saw the bucket and sniffed it. He smelled something good. He knocked over the bucket and spilled the worms and bugs on the ground. + +"Spot, no!" Tom shouted, trying to stop him. "You're spoiling our game!" + +But Spot didn't listen. He started to eat the worms and bugs, licking his lips. He thought they were tasty. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They had worked hard to dig the holes and find the interesting things. Now they had nothing to show for it. + +"Bad dog, Spot!" Lily said, scolding him. "You ate our friends!" + +Spot looked at them with his big eyes. He didn't understand why they were angry. He thought he was sharing his food with them. + +He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He wanted to play some more. + +Lily and Tom sighed. They loved Spot, but he was a naughty dog. They decided to play something else, away from the holes and the bucket. Maybe they could make a sandcastle or a flower crown. They hoped Spot wouldn't spoil that too. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big thing in the garage. It was shiny and had buttons and wires. They wanted to touch it and see what it did. + +"Let's play with it!" Ben said. + +"No, we can't. It's not ours. It's dad's. He said it's dangerous and we should not touch it." Lily said. + +"But it looks fun. Maybe it makes sounds or lights. Come on, just one touch." Ben said. + +He reached out his hand to press a button. Lily tried to stop him, but it was too late. The thing made a loud noise and sparks flew out of it. It broke and smoke came out of it. + +Ben and Lily were scared. They ran away from the thing and hid behind a box. They heard dad coming. He saw the thing and was angry. + +"Who did this? Who broke my thing?" he shouted. + +Ben and Lily did not say anything. They hoped dad would not find them. But dad saw them and called them out. + +"Ben, Lily, come here. Did you touch my thing?" he asked. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not want to lie, but they also did not want to be punished. + +Lily was brave. She said, "Yes, dad. We did. We're sorry. We were curious and Ben wanted to play with it." + +Dad looked at them. He was still angry, but he was also glad they told the truth. + +"I'm glad you're honest, but you also did a bad thing. You disobeyed me and you broke my thing. It was dangerous and you could have hurt yourself or the house. You have to be punished. You have to go to your room and no toys for today." he said. + +Ben and Lily felt sad. They knew they did wrong and they had to face the consequences. They said sorry to dad and went to their room. + +They learned their lesson. They learned to listen to dad and not to touch things that are not theirs or dangerous. They learned to be careful and respectful. They learned to be good. +Lily and Ben wanted to help Mom make a cake. Mom said they could stir the batter in a big bowl. She gave them a spoon and some flour, eggs, milk and sugar. Lily and Ben poured and cracked and mixed everything together. They had fun stirring and making noises. + +But they also made a big mess. Flour and eggshells and milk spilled on the table and the floor. Some batter splashed on their clothes and faces. Mom came back from the grocery and saw the messy kitchen. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You are supposed to help, not make trouble!" + +Lily and Ben looked at Mom and felt sorry. They did not want to make Mom angry. They wanted to make her a cake. + +"We are sorry, Mom," they said. "We wanted to surprise you with a cake. But we did not know how to stir well." + +Mom sighed and smiled. She hugged Lily and Ben and said, "I appreciate your help, but next time, please ask me first. And let's clean up this mess together. Then we can bake the cake and eat it." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "OK, Mom. We love you." + +They helped Mom wipe and sweep and wash. Then they put the batter in a pan and Mom put it in the oven. They waited for the cake to bake and smelled the yummy smell. They were happy and proud. They made a cake for Mom. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a cute fox with red fur and a long tail. They wanted to pet the fox, but the fox was scared of them. + +"Come here, fox!" Lily said. "We are nice. We will not hurt you." + +But the fox ran away and hid behind a tree. Lily and Ben followed the fox. They tried to catch the fox, but the fox was fast and smart. + +"Stop, fox!" Ben said. "We just want to be your friends." + +But the fox did not listen. He saw a hole in the fence and ran through it. Lily and Ben ran after the fox, but they could not fit in the hole. + +"Let's go around the fence!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find the fox on the other side." + +But when they went around the fence, they saw a big dog. The dog was not cute. He was angry and loud. He barked at Lily and Ben. He wanted to fight the fox. + +"Go away, dog!" Lily said. "The fox is not yours. He is ours." + +But the dog did not care. He jumped over the fence and chased the fox. The fox was scared and ran away. Lily and Ben were scared too. They did not want the dog to hurt the fox. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Ben shouted. "Someone save the fox!" + +A man heard their shouts. He came to the park. He saw the dog and the fox. He whistled and called the dog. + +"Rex, come here!" the man said. "Leave the fox alone. He is not your toy." + +The dog heard the man. He stopped chasing the fox. He ran back to the man. The man put a leash on the dog. He said sorry to Lily and Ben. + +"I'm sorry, kids," the man said. "My dog is not bad. He just likes to play. But he does not know how to play with foxes. He thinks they are rabbits." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They were not mad at the dog. They were glad the fox was safe. + +"Thank you, mister," Lily said. "You saved the fox." + +The man smiled. He walked away with the dog. Lily and Ben looked for the fox. They saw him peeking from behind a bush. He looked at them with his bright eyes. He wagged his tail. + +"Bye, bye, fox," Ben said. "We hope you find a nice home." + +The fox nodded. He smiled. He ran away into the woods. Lily and Ben waved at him. They went back to their mom. They told her about the fox and the dog. She hugged them and gave them a cookie. They were happy. They learned a lot. They learned that foxes are cute, but they are not pets. They learned that dogs are not mean, but they are not friends with foxes. They learned that sometimes people can help animals. They learned that playing in the park is fun. +Tom liked to whistle. He whistled when he played, when he ate, and when he went to bed. He whistled all kinds of songs, like the ABC song, the wheels on the bus song, and the happy birthday song. + +One day, Tom saw a big red truck outside his house. It had a loud siren and a long ladder. It was a fireman truck. Tom ran to the window and saw some firemen in yellow suits. They were carrying a hose and an axe. They looked very busy and brave. + +Tom wanted to say hello to the firemen. He thought they were very clever and cool. He opened the window and whistled as loud as he could. He whistled the fireman song, the one that goes "ding ding ding, here comes the fireman, he will save the day, hooray hooray". + +The firemen heard Tom's whistle. They looked up and saw him waving from the window. They smiled and waved back. They liked Tom's whistle. They thought he was very cute and friendly. + +Tom was very happy. He had made some new friends. He whistled some more songs for the firemen. They whistled back. They had a lot of fun. Tom loved the firemen. He wanted to be a fireman when he grew up. +Lily and Max were playing with paper and crayons. They wanted to make something fun and pretty. Lily had an idea. + +"Let's design a wing for a bird!" she said. "We can cut out the shape and color it." + +Max liked the idea. He took a big piece of paper and drew a wing with a pencil. Lily helped him cut it out with scissors. Then they used crayons to color it. + +They made the wing orange, because it was their favorite color. They also added some yellow and red spots, to make it look like a fire. + +They were very proud of their wing. They showed it to their mom, who smiled and praised them. + +"That's a beautiful wing, kids!" she said. "You are very creative and talented. But do you know what makes a wing work?" + +Lily and Max shook their heads. They didn't know. + +"A wing works because of air," mom explained. "Air pushes the wing up and down, and makes it fly. But your wing is too big and heavy for the air to lift it. It would need a lot of air, and a lot of speed, to fly." + +Lily and Max looked at their wing. They felt sad. They wanted their wing to fly. + +"Can we make it fly, mom?" they asked. + +Mom thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. + +"Maybe we can," she said. "But we need to change it a little bit. We need to make it smaller, lighter, and curved. And we need to attach it to something that can move fast, like a toy car or a fan. Then we can see if it can fly." + +Lily and Max agreed. They took their wing and cut it into two smaller pieces. They made them curved, like a banana. They used tape to attach them to a toy car. Then they turned on the car and watched it zoom across the floor. + +The wing flapped behind the car, like a bird. It looked like it was flying. Lily and Max clapped and cheered. They were happy. + +They learned that design is not only about making things pretty, but also about making things work. They learned that sometimes they need to change their ideas, and try new things, to make them better. They learned that they can have fun and learn at the same time. +Lily and Ben went to the big store with Mom. They liked to see all the things in the store. Some things were big, some things were small, some things were colorful, some things were shiny. Mom gave them a cart to push. They put some things in the cart. + +"Look, Mom, a teddy bear!" Lily said. She took the teddy bear from the shelf and hugged it. It was soft and brown. She wanted to keep it. + +"Sorry, Lily, we can't buy that teddy bear. It is too expensive," Mom said. She looked at the price tag. It was a lot of money. She put the teddy bear back on the shelf. + +"But I love it, Mom. Please, please, please," Lily said. She made a sad face. She tried to take the teddy bear again. + +"No, Lily, you have enough toys at home. You don't need another teddy bear. Relax, sweetie, we will find something else for you," Mom said. She held Lily's hand and walked to another aisle. + +Ben saw a ball. It was red and blue and green. It bounced and rolled. He liked it. He took the ball from the basket and threw it in the air. He caught it and laughed. + +"Look, Mom, a ball!" Ben said. He showed the ball to Mom. He wanted to keep it. + +"That's a nice ball, Ben. How much is it?" Mom said. She looked at the price tag. It was not a lot of money. She smiled and nodded. + +"Yay, thank you, Mom. I love it, Mom. Can I play with it now?" Ben said. He put the ball in the cart and bounced it again. + +"Sure, Ben, but be careful. Don't hit anything or anyone with the ball. Relax, buddy, we will be done soon," Mom said. She pushed the cart and walked to the cashier. + +Lily and Ben were happy. They had a new ball and a cart full of things. Mom was happy too. She paid for the things and took them to the car. They drove home and played with the ball and the things. They had a fun day at the big store. +Lily liked to draw pictures with her crayons. She drew flowers, animals, houses and people. She wanted to improve her drawings and make them more colorful and pretty. She asked her mom for help. + +"Mom, can you show me how to improve my drawings?" Lily said. + +"Sure, honey. What do you want to improve?" Mom said. + +"I want to make them more like the ones in the books. They have labels and different colors and shapes," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and gave Lily some stickers and a marker. "These are labels. You can write the names of the things you draw on them and stick them on your paper. That way, you can tell what they are and learn new words. And you can use different colors and shapes to make your drawings more interesting. For example, you can draw an ordinary circle and then add ears and a tail to make it a cat. Or you can draw an ordinary square and then add windows and a door to make it a house. Do you want to try?" Mom said. + +Lily nodded and took the stickers and the marker. She started to draw and label her pictures. She drew a cat, a house, a flower, a bird and a sun. She used different colors and shapes to make them more fun. She was very happy with her drawings. She showed them to Mom. + +"Look, Mom, I improved my drawings! They have labels and different colors and shapes. Do you like them?" Lily said. + +Mom hugged Lily and praised her. "I love them, Lily. You improved your drawings a lot. They are very colorful and pretty. And you learned some new words too. You are a very smart and creative girl," Mom said. + +Lily smiled and thanked Mom. She put her drawings on the fridge with a magnet. She was proud of her work. She wanted to draw more pictures and improve them even more. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set that their dad gave them. They liked to make the train go around the tracks and make noises like "choo-choo" and "beep-beep". + +One day, their mom said she had to do some work on her computer and asked them to play quietly in their room. Ben and Lily agreed and went to their room with their train set. They set up the tracks on the floor and started to play. + +"Look, Lily, I can make the train go faster!" Ben said, pushing the button on the controller. + +"Wow, Ben, that's cool! But be careful, don't make it go too fast or it might crash!" Lily said, watching the train zoom around the tracks. + +Ben laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lily, I know what I'm doing. The train is strong and can handle anything. Watch this!" He pushed the button harder and made the train go even faster. + +Lily gasped and said, "Ben, stop! That's too fast! The train is going to fall off the tracks!" + +But Ben didn't listen. He thought it was fun to make the train go fast. He said, "No, Lily, it's fine. The train is having fun too. See, it's smiling!" He pointed to the sticker on the front of the train that looked like a smile. + +But Lily was right. The train was going too fast. It reached a curve on the tracks and couldn't stay on. It flew off the tracks and crashed into the wall. The train broke into pieces and the tracks came apart. Ben and Lily were shocked and sad. They loved their train and now it was ruined. + +They heard their mom coming to their room. She had heard the loud noise and wanted to see what happened. Ben and Lily looked at each other and knew they were in trouble. They wished they had listened to Lily and played more carefully. + +Their mom opened the door and saw the mess. She was angry and disappointed. She said, "Ben and Lily, what did you do? I asked you to play quietly and not break anything. And look what you did to your train! That was a gift from your dad and you destroyed it. How could you be so careless and reckless?" + +Ben and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were playing with the train and Ben made it go too fast and it crashed. We didn't mean to break it. We love the train. Can you fix it, please?" + +Their mom sighed and said, "I don't know, Ben and Lily. The train is very broken and I don't have the tools or the time to fix it. Maybe your dad can help when he comes home, but I'm not sure. You'll have to wait and see. And you'll have to learn to be more responsible and respectful with your toys. Now, clean up this mess and go to bed. No more playing for today. You need to relax and think about what you did." + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We're sorry. We'll clean up and go to bed. We'll relax and think about what we did." + +They picked up the pieces of the train and the tracks and put them in a box. They hoped their dad could fix the train and make it smile again. They felt bad for hurting the train and making their mom angry. They wished they had played more quietly and not made the train go too fast. They learned their lesson and decided to be more careful and gentle with their toys. They went to bed and tried to relax and sleep. They dreamed of the train and hoped it would be okay. +Tom was playing with his toy cars in his room. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw his mom. + +"Tom, it's time for bed. You have school tomorrow," his mom said. + +"But I'm not tired, mom. I want to play more," Tom said. + +His mom smiled and walked into his room. She picked up a book from his shelf. It was his favorite book. It had pictures of animals and their names. + +"How about we read this book together? You can tell me the names of the animals," his mom said. + +Tom nodded. He liked the book. He put his toy cars away and climbed into his bed. His mom sat next to him and opened the book. + +She pointed to a picture of a big, gray animal with a long nose and big ears. + +"What is this, Tom?" she asked. + +Tom recognized the animal. He had seen it at the zoo. + +"That's an elephant, mom. It can spray water with its nose," Tom said. + +His mom nodded and turned the page. She pointed to a picture of a small, brown animal with a fluffy tail and a black mask. + +"What is this, Tom?" she asked. + +Tom recognized the animal. He had seen it in the park. + +"That's a raccoon, mom. It can open trash cans and eat garbage," Tom said. + +His mom nodded and turned the page. She pointed to a picture of a tall, yellow animal with black spots and a long neck. + +"What is this, Tom?" she asked. + +Tom did not recognize the animal. He had never seen it before. + +"I don't know, mom. What is it?" Tom asked. + +His mom smiled and told him the name of the animal. + +"That's a giraffe, Tom. It can eat leaves from the top of the trees," she said. + +Tom was amazed. He wanted to see a giraffe someday. + +He looked at the next picture. It was a figure of a boy and a girl holding hands. They looked happy. + +"Who are they, mom?" Tom asked. + +His mom hugged him and kissed his forehead. + +"They are you and me, Tom. We love each other very much," she said. + +Tom felt warm and cozy. He was tired now. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. His mom tucked him in and turned off the light. + +She whispered, "Good night, Tom. Sweet dreams." +Ben is a bald boy who likes to play with his cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He does not like to share his cars with anyone. + +One day, his mom takes him to the park. She says he can play with his cars on the grass. Ben is happy and brings his cars in a bag. He finds a spot and starts to play. He makes his cars go fast and loud. + +But then, he sees another boy who also has cars. The boy has more cars than Ben. He has big cars and shiny cars and cars that make noises. Ben wants those cars. He thinks they are better than his cars. + +He walks over to the boy and tries to take his cars. The boy says no and pushes him away. Ben gets angry and hits the boy. The boy cries and hits him back. They start to fight. + +Their moms hear the noise and run over to them. They see the boys hitting and pulling each other's hair. They are very mad. They pull the boys apart and scold them. They say they have to say sorry and share their cars. + +But Ben does not want to say sorry or share. He wants all the cars for himself. He kicks and screams and throws a tantrum. He drops his bag and his cars fall out. The boy sees Ben's cars and picks one up. He likes it and puts it in his pocket. + +Ben sees the boy take his car and gets even more angry. He tries to get his car back, but the boy runs away. Ben chases him, but he is too slow. He trips and falls on the ground. He rips his pants and scrapes his knee. He feels a lot of pain. + +He cries and cries and cries. He has no cars and no friends. He has a ripped pants and a hurt knee. He has a bald head and a red face. He is very sad and very alone. He wishes he had been nice and shared his cars. But it is too late. He has a bad day. The end. +Sara and Tom like to play on the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. One day, they see a big fish on the sand. It is not moving. Sara and Tom are sad. They want to help the fish. + +They run to their mom and dad. They tell them about the fish. Mom and dad say the fish is a dolphin. It is not a fish. It is a smart animal that lives in the ocean. It needs water to breathe. Mom and dad say someone was ignorant. They did not care about the dolphin. They left it on the beach. + +Sara and Tom want to save the dolphin. They ask mom and dad to help. Mom and dad say yes. They get a big blanket and some buckets. They wet the blanket and cover the dolphin. They pour water on the dolphin. They hope the dolphin will be okay. + +They see a big truck coming. It has a sign that says "Ocean Rescue". Mom and dad wave to the truck. The truck stops. Some people get out. They have uniforms and tools. They say they are here to save the dolphin. They thank mom and dad and Sara and Tom for helping. They say they will take the dolphin back to the ocean. They say the dolphin will be happy there. + +Sara and Tom are happy too. They wave goodbye to the dolphin. They hope the dolphin will find its family and friends. They hope the dolphin will be safe. They hope no one will be ignorant again. They love the ocean and the animals that live there. +Lily was a child who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a doll named Anna. She always took Anna with her when she went to the park or to her grandma's house. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Anna. She saw some other children playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to join them, so she asked her mom if she could. Her mom said yes, but told her to remember to be nice and to share. + +Lily ran to the swings and waited for her turn. She put Anna on the bench next to her. She was happy when it was her turn to swing. She swung high and low, feeling the wind in her hair. + +But then, she heard a scream. She looked and saw a boy holding Anna. He had taken her from the bench. He was pulling her hair and throwing her on the ground. He was very rude. + +Lily got off the swing and ran to the boy. She shouted, "Give me back my doll! She is mine! You are rude!" + +The boy laughed and said, "No, she is mine now! She is a stupid doll! You are a baby!" + +Lily felt angry and sad. She tried to grab Anna, but the boy pushed her away. He ran to the slide with Anna. + +Lily cried and ran to her mom. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That boy was very rude. He should not have taken your doll. Let's go and get her back." + +They walked to the slide, where the boy was still playing with Anna. Lily's mom said, "Excuse me, young man. That doll belongs to my daughter. Please give it back to her." + +The boy looked at Lily's mom and said, "No, she is mine. I found her on the bench. She is a fun toy." + +Lily's mom said, "No, you did not find her. You took her from Lily. She loves her doll very much. She is not a toy. She is a friend. You should not be rude and take things that are not yours. You should say sorry and give her back." + +The boy frowned and said, "Fine. Here, take your doll. She is boring anyway. I don't want her." + +He threw Anna to Lily. Lily caught her and hugged her. She checked if she was okay. She was happy to have her back. + +She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you and Anna." + +She said to the boy, "You are rude. You should be nice and share. You should remember that." + +She and her mom walked away from the slide. They went to the bench and sat down. They played with Anna and had a good time. Lily remembered to be nice and to share. She hoped the boy would remember too. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the morning. They are obedient children. They always listen to Mom and Dad. + +One day, Mom and Dad tell them to go to bed early. They say, "Tomorrow we will take you to the park. But you have to wake up when we say so. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom and Dad. We understand. We want to go to the park. We will wake up when you say so." + +They go to bed early. They are excited. They dream of the park. + +The next morning, Mom and Dad wake them up. They say, "It's time to get up, Anna and Ben. Come on, we have a surprise for you." + +Anna and Ben rub their eyes. They get out of bed. They follow Mom and Dad to the car. They are curious. + +Mom and Dad drive them to a hill. They say, "Look, Anna and Ben. Do you see that?" + +Anna and Ben look. They see the sunrise. They see the sky change colors. They see the sun peek out from behind the clouds. They see the birds sing. They see the flowers open. + +They are amazed.

Her mom told her that the wave was the power of the ocean pushing onto the shore. + +The three year old smiled and ran to the edge of the shore. She felt the wave crash against her toes. It was cooling and unexpected. She waved at the wave and said goodbye. Then, they ran back home to plan their next adventure together. +Once there was an owner who had a car. He took the car to a park. It was a special park because it was very hidden. Nobody else knew about it. The owner was very happy because he knew that it would be safe there. + +The owner parked the car and looked around. He noticed that there were trees, flowers, and a few birds. Everything was peaceful and quiet. He knew his car was safe here. + +The owner smiled and sat on the grass. He looked around and enjoyed the peacefulness. He thought this was the perfect place to keep his car hidden. + +Suddenly the owner heard a voice. He turned around to see a little girl smiling at him. She said, "Hello! Do you like my park?" The owner was surprised but happy. He said, "Yes I do. It's so peaceful and hidden here." The little girl laughed and said, "It's my secret park! I found it when I was exploring." + +The owner smiled and thanked the little girl. He said, "Thank you for such a great spot to park my car." He waved goodbye to the little girl and drove away, happy that his car was hidden safely in the secret park. +The little girl stumbled down the old street. It was dark, and the street lamps lit up the night sky. The girl kept walking. She could see lights up ahead. + +She stumbled over a rock, and picked herself up again. She was almost there. A huge old building came into view. The girl had arrived at her destination: her grandparent's house! + +She opened the door and found her grandparents inside. They welcomed her with open arms. She was so happy to see them. They hugged and cuddled until it was time for bed. + +The little girl stumbled back down the street to her own home. But not before she said goodbye to her grandparents with a big hug and a kiss. +Once upon a time there was an oyster that was frightened. It was scared of being taken away by the waves of the sea. + +One day, something happened that made it even more scared. A big, tall creature came and picked it up. The creature was not a nice one and it said "I am going to eat you!" + +The oyster was very frightened. But then something magical happened. A little fish came and said "I don't want my friend to be eaten!" + +The fish asked the creature to put the oyster down. After much arguing, the creature agreed and went away. + +The oyster was so happy and so thankful to the little fish that it gave the fish a special gift. Inside its shell was a beautiful pearl. + +The little fish was so excited and thanked the oyster for the magical gift. They became good friends and never were frightened again. +Once upon a time there was a little boy who liked to explore. One day he found a strange mask which looked very old. He picked it up carefully and brought it home. + +The boy’s mom was worried about the mask and said he shouldn’t keep it. She tried to take it from him but it was difficult. So the boy’s mom asked her friends for help. + +The friends had some special tools and they said they could destroy the mask. The boy was sad but he knew that they were trying to keep him safe. + +After the mask was destroyed, the boy went out to explore some more. He had fun and made new discoveries. He was happy and safe, and never looked for another old mask again. +Once there was a boy who loved to collect cool things. He wanted to gather interesting things from all around the world. But he was only three years old and couldn't do that alone. + +So his mom and dad told him to go and collect things in their very own backyard. The boy was so excited! He ran outside and looked all around. He saw a wide open field, with some flowers and bees buzzing around. It was so interesting, and the boy started dancing around in delight. + +He searched through the grass, and soon enough he found lots of interesting pieces. He collected pretty pink rocks, shiny leaves and even a tiny feather! He was very proud of his newfound treasures and gathered each one carefully. + +By the end of the day, the boy had a wide collection of interesting things. He was so happy, and he couldn't wait to show his mom and dad. He ran into the house, proudly displaying his amazing finds.

They chose the same time each week and decided to do something fun. + +The family celebrated with their friends. They would all write a note about something nice that had happened during the week.

They all celebrated being together and being part of the same family. + +The family celebrated regularly and soon it became their favorite thing to do. They knew that when they were celebrating, their love for each other was growing. +Once upon a time there was a little girl who was very anxious. She was excited to design something but wasn't sure what. Then an idea came to her! She would design a box! + +So the little girl got out some paper, scissors and glue and designed a box. She folded the paper into a square and glued it together. She cut some triangles and used them to make the lid. Finally she drew some pretty decorations on the box. + +Once she was done, the little girl was so happy. She wrapped the box in a ribbon and carefully placed it on her shelf. And that's how the little girl designed her own box. +Tommy was a little boy who loved to play with dough. He would make all sorts of sculptures and he loved to open them to see how they looked inside. One day, he made a large dough heart. But when he opened it, he saw that there was a crack on it. He felt sad, but he knew what to do. + +He spread healing on the dough heart. He filled and spread it gently around the crack. Then, he opened the dough heart again - and it was all fixed! He smiled and hugged the dough heart close. + +From then on, Tommy always spread healing on his creations. He was so happy that his dough was healed, and he made sure it stayed happy and strong. +One day, a boy decided to build a hut. He gathered some sticks and stones, and before long, he had a hut made of blue stones! But then, one day, a gust of wind blew and blew, and the hut became very broken.

The boy smiled and thanked the wind for giving him a chance to repair his hut. +Jim was a little boy who loved to poke things. He poked the clouds in the sky, his blankets in bed, and even the flowers in the garden. + +One day Jim wanted a job. He wanted something to poke! So he asked his mom if he could help clean his room. His mom was happy to give him the job. + +When he entered the room, it was a big mess. Everywhere he looked there were toys, books, and clothes. Jim was determined to do a good job, so he started with the clothes first. He poked through each pile until the room was neat and tidy. + +He was so proud of himself that he wanted to tell everyone about his job. Whenever he saw someone, he would tell them, “I just poked my room and made it neat and tidy!†Everyone was so proud of him and his work. Jim felt so proud and happy that he did his job. + +From that day on, Jim loved to do his job. Poking things was his favorite thing to do. He knew that if he kept poking, he could make anything neat and tidy. +Once, there was a farmer who had a big onion patch. He was always so proud of his patch, but one day something happened that made him very sad. + +One night, an animal came and split the onions right in half! The farmer was so angry and sad, he felt really guilty. He wanted to find the animal, so he looked everywhere. + +Finally, he found a little rabbit trying to hide in the corner. The farmer was not mad at the rabbit anymore, he just wanted to know why he did it. + +The rabbit said he was so hungry that he thought of splitting the onion so he and his family could eat it. + +The farmer smiled and said it was OK. He gave the rabbit some of his own onions and said he could come back whenever he wanted.

Susie had a fun day. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to go on tours. They liked to see new things and learn new words. One day, they went on a tour to the zoo. They saw many wild animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. + +Lily and Ben wanted to get closer to the animals. They saw a fence with a sign that said "Do not cross". But they did not listen. They untied the fence and went inside. They thought it was fun to be with the wild animals. + +But the wild animals did not like them. They roared, screeched, and trumpeted. They chased Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben were scared. They ran back to the fence. But they could not tie it again. They did not know how. + +The zookeeper saw them. He was angry. He tied the fence and took them out. He said, "You should not go inside the fence. The wild animals are not your friends. They can hurt you. You should listen to the signs and the rules. They are there to keep you safe." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, zookeeper. We were wrong. We will not do it again. We will listen to the signs and the rules. We will respect the wild animals." + +The zookeeper forgave them. He said, "I am glad you learned your lesson. Now, you can enjoy the tour from a safe distance. And you can learn more about the wild animals and how to protect them." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They thanked the zookeeper. They joined the tour again. They saw the wild animals with new eyes. They learned to appreciate them and their habitats. They had fun and learned a lot. They never untied the fence again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and plant seeds. They hoped the seeds would grow into flowers and fruits. + +One day, they saw a big exit in the fence. It was a hole that someone had made. They were curious and wanted to see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go and explore," said Ben. + +"OK, but be careful," said Lily. + +They crawled through the exit and found themselves in a wild place. There were tall trees and bushes and animals they had never seen before. They heard strange noises and saw bright colors. + +"Wow, this is amazing," said Ben. + +"Look, there is a bird with a long tail," said Lily. + +They followed the bird and saw more wonders. They saw a pond with fish and frogs, a hill with rocks and caves, and a field with butterflies and bees. + +They had so much fun that they forgot about the time. They did not notice that the sun was going down and the sky was getting dark. + +"Ben, I think we should go back," said Lily. + +"Why? It's so nice here," said Ben. + +"Because it's getting late and we don't know this place. Maybe there are scary things here at night. And our mom and dad will be worried about us," said Lily. + +Ben thought for a moment and agreed. He did not want to make his mom and dad sad or angry. He also did not want to meet any scary things. + +"OK, let's go back," he said. + +They tried to find the exit, but they could not. They had wandered too far and lost their way. They started to feel scared and cold. + +"Ben, I can't see the exit. Where is it?" said Lily. + +"I don't know. I can't see it either. Maybe we should shout for help," said Ben. + +They shouted as loud as they could, but no one heard them. They felt alone and helpless. + +They hugged each other and hoped that someone would find them soon. They wished they had never gone through the exit. They wished they had stayed in their garden, where they were safe and happy. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They have a big box of toys. Tom likes to build things with blocks. Lily likes to dress up dolls. They are having fun. + +Tom sees a shiny thing in the grass. He picks it up. It is heavy and hard. It has a long cord. Tom does not know what it is. He thinks it is a toy. He wants to bring it to his block tower. + +"Look, Lily, I found a new toy!" Tom says. He shows Lily the shiny thing. + +"That is not a toy, Tom. That is an iron. Mommy uses it to make clothes smooth. It is hot and dangerous. You should not touch it. Put it back where you found it," Lily says. She knows what an iron is. She has seen Mommy use it. + +But Tom does not listen to Lily. He is persistent. He thinks the iron is a cool toy. He wants to bring it to his block tower. He says, "No, Lily, it is a toy. It is my toy. I will bring it to my block tower. It will make it stronger and prettier." + +Tom tries to bring the iron to his block tower. But the cord is too short. It pulls the iron back. The iron falls on the ground. It makes a loud noise. It scares Tom and Lily. + +Mommy hears the noise. She comes to the garden. She sees the iron on the ground. She sees Tom and Lily. She is angry and worried. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing with the iron? How did you get it? Do you know how dangerous it is? You could have burned yourself or started a fire. You should never touch the iron. It is not a toy. It is a tool. You should only play with your toys. Do you understand?" Mommy says. + +Tom and Lily feel sorry. They nod their heads. They say, "Yes, Mommy, we understand. We are sorry. We will not touch the iron again. We will only play with our toys." + +Mommy hugs Tom and Lily. She is glad they are not hurt. She says, "I love you, Tom and Lily. But you have to be careful and listen to me and Lily. She is older and smarter than you, Tom. She knows what is good and bad for you. You should listen to her. She is your sister. She wants to help you." + +Tom and Lily hug Mommy. They say, "We love you, Mommy. We will be careful and listen to you and Lily. She is our sister. She wants to help us." +Tom and Lily were going to visit their grandma, who lived in a distant town. They had to sit in the car for a long time, and they were bored and restless. They started to argue and fight over their toys and snacks. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You have to behave in the car, or we will never get there. Put on your buckles and be quiet, please." + +Tom and Lily did not listen. They kept making noise and throwing things at each other. Their mom was angry and tired. She pulled over the car and turned to them. + +"That's enough!" she said. "If you don't behave, I will take away your toys and snacks, and you will have nothing to do for the rest of the trip. Do you want that?" + +Tom and Lily shook their heads. They did not want to lose their toys and snacks. They wanted to have fun and see their grandma. + +"Then you have to behave," their mom said. "Put on your buckles and say sorry to each other. And no more fighting, okay?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They put on their buckles and hugged each other. They said sorry and promised to behave. Their mom smiled and started the car again. + +"Good," she said. "Now let's go see grandma. She will be happy to see you." + +Tom and Lily looked out the window and saw the distant town getting closer. They were excited and curious. They wondered what grandma had prepared for them. They behaved in the car and waited patiently. +Lily and Max liked to play in the backyard. They had a big grill that their dad used to make food. Sometimes, they pretended the grill was a spaceship or a castle. But they knew they had to be careful, because the grill could be hot and hurt them. + +One day, they saw a shiny red ball under the grill. They wanted to get it, but they were afraid of the heat. Lily had an idea. She whispered to Max, "You go and grab the ball, and I will watch for dad. If he comes, I will say 'boo' and you will run away." + +Max nodded and crawled under the grill. He reached for the ball, but it was too far. He stretched his arm, but he touched something else. It was dry and rough and made a loud noise. Max screamed and jumped back. It was a cat! + +The cat was scared too. It ran out of the grill and scratched Max's face. Lily saw the cat and said "boo", but it was too late. Max was crying and bleeding. Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was sorry for her idea. + +Dad heard the noise and came to the backyard. He saw Max and Lily and the cat and the ball. He was angry and worried. He took Max inside and cleaned his wound. He told Lily to stay away from the grill and the cat. He said they were lucky it was not worse. + +Lily and Max learned their lesson. They never played with the grill or the cat again. They found other things to do in the backyard. They still liked the shiny red ball, but they left it under the grill. They did not want to get hurt again. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big basket under a tree. They ran to the basket and opened it. Inside, they found many fruits and snacks. + +"Wow, look at all the yummy food!" Tom said. + +"Let's eat some!" Lily said. + +They took out some apples, bananas, grapes and crackers. They also found a bottle of lemonade. They poured some lemonade into two cups and drank it. + +"Yuck!" Tom said. "This lemonade is sour!" + +He made a funny face and spat out the lemonade. Lily did the same. + +They looked at the bottle and saw a label. It said: "Sour lemonade. For grown-ups only." + +They did not know what grown-ups meant, but they knew they did not like sour lemonade. + +They put the bottle back in the basket and closed it. They decided to eat the fruits and snacks instead. They were sweet and crunchy. + +They gazed at the sky and saw some birds and clouds. They smiled and enjoyed their picnic. They did not know that the basket belonged to a man who was sleeping on a bench nearby. He liked sour lemonade, but he did not like sharing his food. He did not see the twins, because he was snoring very loudly. +Ben and Jen were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a slide, a swing, and a hose. They liked to use the hose to make water come out and spray each other. They also liked to water the flowers and the grass. + +One day, they saw a big truck with a loud noise come to their street. It was a fire truck. They ran to the fence to see what was happening. They saw some men in red suits get out of the truck and run to a house. The house had smoke and fire coming out of it. The men used a big hose to make water come out and put out the fire. + +Ben and Jen were scared and curious. They wanted to help the men and the house. They had an idea. They ran to their hose and turned it on. They dragged the hose to the fence and tried to spray water over it. They hoped their water would unite with the big hose's water and make the fire go away faster. + +But their hose was too small and too far. Their water did not reach the house. It only reached the street. And there was a car on the street. A car that belonged to their dad. A car that had a window open. A car that was now full of water. + +Ben and Jen did not know they had made a big mistake. They thought they had done a good thing. They smiled and cheered. They did not see their dad come out of the house. He had been inside helping the men and the house. He saw his car and his hose and his twins. He was not happy. He was very angry. + +He ran to the fence and yelled at Ben and Jen. He told them to stop and to come inside. He told them they had ruined his car and his hose. He told them they had been very bad and very silly. He told them they had to go to their room and stay there. He told them they could not play outside anymore. + +Ben and Jen were sad and sorry. They did not mean to make their dad angry. They did not mean to ruin his car and his hose. They only meant to help the men and the house. They turned off the hose and dropped it. They followed their dad inside. They went to their room and stayed there. + +They cried and hugged each other. They wished they could play outside again. They wished they could use the hose again. They wished they could make their dad happy again. They did not know that their dad's car was not really dead. It was only wet. It would dry and work again. They did not know that their dad's hose was not really dead. It was only broken. It could be fixed and used again. They did not know that their dad was not really angry. He was only scared and worried. He loved them and wanted them to be safe. He would forgive them and let them play again. He would unite with them and hug them again. +Sara and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big rug to sit on. They like to look at the flowers and the bugs. Sara has a book with pictures of animals. She shows Ben a lion and a zebra. + +"Look, Ben, this is a lion. He is big and strong and has a long mane. He lives in a place called Africa. Do you like lions?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, I like lions. They are brave and loud. But I like zebras more. They have stripes and run fast. They are healthy and eat grass. Can we see zebras in Africa?" Ben says. + +"Maybe, if we go on a plane. But we can also see them in the zoo. Mom said she will take us to the zoo next week. Do you want to go?" Sara says. + +"Yes, I want to go. I want to see all the animals. And I want to feed the ducks and the goats. That will be fun!" Ben says. + +They keep talking and playing until they hear Mom calling them. It is time to go inside and have lunch. They fold the rug and carry it to the porch. The rug is wet from the grass. Mom says they have to dry it before they put it away. + +"Can we help you dry the rug, Mom?" Sara and Ben ask. + +"Sure, you can. You are very helpful. Let's hang the rug on the clothesline and let the sun dry it. Then we can have some soup and bread. You must be hungry after playing so much," Mom says. + +They hang the rug on the clothesline and go inside. They wash their hands and sit at the table. They enjoy their soup and bread and tell Mom about their garden adventure. Mom smiles and hugs them. She is happy to see them healthy and happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Lily had a big spoon and Ben had a knife. They chopped and stirred and tasted their dishes. + +"Look, I made soup!" Lily said, holding up her spoon. "It has carrots and beans and cheese." + +"Yuck, that sounds gross!" Ben said, making a face. "I made cake! It has sugar and eggs and chocolate." + +Lily wanted to try Ben's cake, but he did not want to share. He hid his knife behind his back and said, "No, you can't have any! It's mine!" + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like it when Ben was grumpy and mean. She said, "That's not fair! You have to share! Give me some cake or I'll tell Mom!" + +Ben did not listen. He stuck out his tongue and said, "No, no, no! Go away, Lily!" + +Lily had an idea. She saw a big pot on the stove. She said, "Fine, I don't want your cake. I'll make my own. But I need something to cut it with. Can I borrow your knife?" + +Ben thought Lily was silly. He said, "Sure, you can have my knife. But you won't be able to make a cake with it. You need a pan and an oven and a mixer." + +He gave Lily his knife and smiled. He thought he was smart and Lily was dumb. + +But Lily was not dumb. She was clever. She took the knife and ran to the pot. She lifted the lid and saw that it was full of hot water. She threw the knife into the pot and said, "Ha! Now you can't have your knife back! It's too hot!" + +Ben was shocked and mad. He ran to the pot and tried to get his knife. But the water was too hot and it burned his hand. He screamed and dropped the lid. It made a loud noise. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Ben crying and Lily smiling. She saw the knife in the pot and the cake on the table. She knew what happened. She said, "Lily, Ben, what did you do? Why did you play with a knife? That's very dangerous! And why did you not share your cake? That's very rude!" + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We were playing and we fought. We won't do it again." + +Mom said, "You have to be careful and kind when you play. Knives are not toys. They can hurt you and others. And cake is not fun if you don't share it. It's better to enjoy it together." + +She took the knife out of the pot and put it away. She cut the cake and gave a piece to Lily and Ben. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +They ate the cake and hugged each other. They were not grumpy and mean anymore. They were happy and sweet. +Tom and Sue are husband and wife. They love each other very much. They have a big tree in their living room. It is Christmas Eve. They want to give each other gifts. + +Tom has a gift for Sue. It is a red scarf. He wants to wrap it with paper and ribbon. He looks for paper and ribbon in the closet. He cannot find any. He is worried. He does not want Sue to see his gift. + +He goes to the kitchen. He sees a roll of foil. He thinks, maybe I can use this. He takes the foil and goes back to the living room. He tries to wrap the scarf with the foil. It is hard. The foil is shiny and noisy. It does not stick. He needs tape. + +He goes to the office. He sees a roll of tape. He thinks, maybe I can use this. He takes the tape and goes back to the living room. He tries to tape the foil around the scarf. It is harder. The tape is sticky and messy. It does not look nice. + +He hears a noise. He turns around. He sees Sue. She is smiling. She has a gift for Tom. It is a blue hat. She has wrapped it with paper and ribbon. It is beautiful. She says, "Merry Christmas, Tom. I have a gift for you." + +Tom feels silly. He says, "Merry Christmas, Sue. I have a gift for you, too. But I did not wrap it well. I used foil and tape. I am sorry. It is a red scarf. I hope you like it." + +Sue hugs Tom. She says, "I love it, Tom. It does not matter how you wrap it. It is the thought that counts. You are very sweet. Thank you." + +They kiss. They open their gifts. They are happy. They put on their scarf and hat. They look at the tree. They see a star. They make a wish. They wish for more love. +Tom and Lily liked to play near the pond. They had a rod that they used to catch fish. The rod was reliable. It never broke or got tangled. + +One day, they saw a big fish in the water. It was shiny and red. They wanted to catch it. They threw the rod into the pond and waited. + +"Come, fish, come!" they said. "We want to see you!" + +The fish saw the rod and swam closer. It looked at the bait and opened its mouth. But it was not a real fish. It was a toy fish. It had a sharp hook inside. + +The hook caught the rod and pulled it hard. Tom and Lily felt the rod move. They were happy. They thought they had the fish. + +They pulled the rod back. But the toy fish was stronger. It pulled the rod out of their hands and into the water. + +"Hey, give it back!" Tom shouted. "That's our rod!" + +But the toy fish did not listen. It swam away with the rod. Tom and Lily could not see it anymore. + +They were sad and angry. They had lost their reliable rod. They had no more fish to catch. They had no more fun to play. + +They went home and told their mom what happened. She was not happy either. She said they should not play near the pond. She said it was dangerous and dirty. She said they were naughty and careless. + +She gave them no dinner and sent them to bed. They cried and felt sorry. They wished they had never seen the toy fish. They wished they had their rod back. They wished they had a good ending. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play dress-up. They had many clothes and hats and shoes to try on. One day, they found an enormous hat in the closet. It was red and fluffy and had a big feather on it. + +"Wow, look at this hat!" Anna said. "It is so big and pretty. I want to wear it." + +"No, I want to wear it!" Ben said. "It is my style. You can have another hat." + +They both grabbed the hat and pulled on it. They did not want to share. They started to argue and shout. + +"Let go of the hat!" Anna said. + +"No, you let go!" Ben said. + +They pulled so hard that the hat ripped in half. The feather flew away. They both looked at the broken hat and felt sad. + +They realized that they had been selfish and mean. They had ruined the hat and their fun. They wished they had been nice and taken turns. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. "I should have let you wear the hat. It would have looked good on you." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna said. "I should have let you wear the hat. It was your style." + +They hugged and said they were still friends. They decided to fix the hat with some tape and glue. They learned that sharing and caring are more important than having things. They had more fun playing dress-up together. +Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, Mommy, look!" Lily shouted. She waved at her mommy, who was watching from the window. "We made a snowman!" + +Mommy smiled and waved back. "You did a great job, my darlings!" she said. "He is very pretty!" + +Tom nodded. He pointed at the chimney on their roof. "Can we make a snowman for Santa, too?" he asked. "Maybe he will see him when he comes down the chimney." + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked the idea of making a snowman for Santa. "Yes, let's do it!" she said. "But we have to make him smaller, so he can fit on the roof." + +They took some more snow and rolled it into a ball. They lifted it up and put it on the roof, near the chimney. They added a smaller ball for the head, and some twigs for the arms. They found a red ribbon and tied it around the neck. They looked for something to make the face, but they ran out of coal and carrots. + +"What can we use?" Lily wondered. + +Tom had an idea. He ran inside and came back with two buttons and a candy cane. He gave them to Lily. "Here, use these!" he said. + +Lily smiled. She put the buttons for the eyes and the candy cane for the mouth. She stepped back and admired their work. "He is perfect!" she said. "I hope Santa likes him!" + +They waved at their snowman and went inside. They drank some hot chocolate and waited for Santa to come. They hoped he would bring them some nice presents and a thank you note for their snowman. +Anna and Ben were going to the zoo with their mom. They were very excited to see the animals, especially the ostrich. The ostrich was a big bird with long legs and a long neck. It could run very fast and make funny noises. + +Anna and Ben had to pack their bags for the trip. They had to bring some snacks, some water, some hats and some sunscreen. Anna was very organized. She put everything in her bag neatly and closed it. Ben was not organized. He threw everything in his bag and left it open. + +"Ben, you have to pack your bag properly," Anna said. "Or else you will lose your things." + +"I don't care," Ben said. "I just want to see the ostrich." + +They got in the car and drove to the zoo. Anna and Ben were happy and sang songs along the way. Mom smiled and said they would have a great time. + +When they got to the zoo, they saw many animals. They saw lions, monkeys, elephants, giraffes and more. They had fun and learned a lot. Then they came to the ostrich enclosure. Anna and Ben ran to the fence and looked at the ostrich. It was very big and beautiful. It had black and white feathers and brown eyes. + +"Wow, look at the ostrich!" Anna said. "It's amazing!" + +"Can I touch it?" Ben asked. + +"No, you can't," Mom said. "It's dangerous. You have to stay behind the fence." + +But Ben did not listen. He was curious and naughty. He climbed over the fence and ran to the ostrich. He reached out his hand and tried to pet it. + +The ostrich did not like that. It felt scared and angry. It opened its beak and bit Ben's hand. Ben screamed and cried. He dropped his bag and ran back to the fence. Mom ran to him and hugged him. She checked his hand and saw it was bleeding. + +"Oh, Ben, what have you done?" Mom said. "You should have listened to me. Now you are hurt and we have to go to the hospital." + +Anna looked at the ostrich. It was still holding Ben's bag in its beak. It shook its head and tore the bag apart. It threw the snacks, the water, the hats and the sunscreen all over the ground. It made a loud noise and ran away. + +Anna felt sorry for Ben, but she also felt angry. He had ruined their trip and their things. He had not been organized or careful. He had been silly and reckless. + +She sighed and said, "Ben, you have to pack your bag properly. Or else you will lose your things." +Tom and Lily were excited to see the fireworks on the big night. They had a bag of fireworks that their dad gave them. They wanted to make a big show for their friends. + +They went to the park with their bag and waited for the dark. They saw other people with fireworks too. They heard loud bangs and saw bright colors in the sky. They clapped and cheered. + +When it was their turn, they opened their bag and took out a firework. They put it on the ground and lit it with a match. But nothing happened. They tried another one, and another one, but none of them worked. They looked at their bag and saw that it was wet and dirty. Their fireworks were old and rotten. They felt embarrassed. + +"Hey, what's wrong with your fireworks?" a boy asked them. He laughed at them and pointed. "They are no good. They are boring. You are silly." + +Tom and Lily felt sad and angry. They wanted to run away and hide. They wished they had new and good fireworks. They wished they could make a big show for their friends. They wished they could have fun on the big night. +Lily did not like to mind her hair. She thought it was boring to brush it and tie it every day. She wanted to have fun and play with her toys and friends. + +One day, she decided to skip her hair routine and ran outside with her hair loose and messy. She saw her friend Ben waiting for her with his bike. "Hi, Lily! Do you want to ride with me?" he asked. + +Lily nodded and climbed on the bike behind him. They rode fast and laughed. They felt the wind in their faces and hair. They did not see the big tree branch that was hanging low on the road. + +"Watch out!" Ben shouted, but it was too late. Lily's hair got caught in the branch and pulled her off the bike. She fell to the ground and cried. Her hair was tangled and hurt. + +Ben stopped the bike and ran to help her. He felt sorry for her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay? Your hair is very long and pretty, but you should mind it. It can get in trouble." + +Lily nodded and sniffed. She realized that Ben was right. She said, "You're right, Ben. I should mind my hair. It is not boring, it is part of me. Can you help me untangle it?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. I'll help you. And then we can ride again, but more carefully. And maybe you can wear a hat or a bandana to keep your hair safe." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You're a good friend. And a hat or a bandana sounds fun. Let's go find one." + +They walked to Lily's house, holding hands. They minded their hair and each other. They learned a lesson and had fun. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They saw a big vine that grew on the wall. It had many green leaves and purple flowers. + +"Let's climb the vine!" Max said. "It looks fun!" + +"No, we can't," Lily said. "Mommy said we are not allowed to climb the vine. It is not safe. We can fall and hurt ourselves." + +Max did not listen to Lily. He wanted to climb the vine. He thought he was fast and strong. He grabbed the vine and started to pull himself up. + +"Max, stop!" Lily shouted. "You are being naughty! Come down now!" + +But Max did not stop. He climbed higher and higher. He felt happy and proud. He looked down at Lily and said, "Look at me! I am so high! I am the king of the vine!" + +Suddenly, he heard a loud snap. The vine broke under his weight. Max screamed as he fell to the ground. He landed on the grass and rolled over. He felt pain in his arm and his leg. He started to cry. + +Lily ran to Max. She was scared and worried. She hugged him and said, "Max, are you okay? I am sorry you got hurt. I will get Mommy to help you." + +Mommy came and saw Max. She was angry and sad. She said, "Max, what did you do? Why did you climb the vine? I told you not to do that. You could have been very hurt. You were very foolish and disobedient." + +Max felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I am sorry, Mommy. I wanted to have fun. I did not listen to you or Lily. I was wrong. I will not do it again." + +Mommy said, "I am glad you are sorry, Max. But you have to learn to obey and be careful. The vine is not a toy. It is a plant. It can break and hurt you. You have to respect nature and yourself. And you have to listen to your sister. She was trying to help you. She was being smart and kind." + +Max nodded. He said, "I understand, Mommy. I will do better. I love you and Lily. Thank you for taking care of me." + +Mommy smiled. She said, "I love you too, Max. And I love you, Lily. You are a good sister. You are brave and caring. Come on, let's go inside and clean your wounds. Then we can have some juice and cookies." + +Lily and Max hugged Mommy. They walked inside together. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be safe, to obey, to respect, and to love. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a loud horn. The truck is full of toys and books. The driver is generous. He says, "Hello, kids! Do you want some toys and books? I have too many. You can have some for free." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They say, "Yes, please! Thank you, sir!" They hurry to the truck. They want to choose the best toys and books. They do not see the sign on the truck. The sign says, "Danger! Explosives!" + +The driver is not generous. He is bad. He wants to hurt people. He laughs and says, "Bye, kids! Have fun!" He drives away fast. He pushes a button. The truck explodes. Boom! + +Anna and Ben are gone. The park is on fire. The horn is silent. The toys and books are ashes. The driver is evil. He does not care. He looks for another place to explode. The end. +Tom and Lily love to play soccer with their friends. They have a big pitch in the park where they can run and kick the ball. Sometimes they play in teams and sometimes they just have fun. + +One day, Tom and Lily are on the same team. They are very excited because they want to win. They wear red shirts and the other team wears blue shirts. The game starts and the ball goes back and forth. + +Tom sees a chance to score a goal. He runs fast with the ball and shoots. But the blue goalie is very good and stops the ball. Tom is sad and falls down. + +Lily sees Tom on the ground. She runs to him and kneels next to him. She gives him a hug and says, "Don't be sad, Tom. You did a great job. We still have time to score. Come on, let's try again." + +Tom smiles and gets up. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. Let's go and play some more." They hold hands and run back to the pitch. They are happy and excited again. +Tom was a boy who liked to play with pipes. He had many pipes of different colors and shapes. He liked to put them together and make things. He made a car, a house, a robot and more. + +One day, he wanted to make a big pipe tower. He took all his pipes and started to stack them up. He wanted to make the tower as high as he could. He did not listen to his mom, who told him to be careful and not make a mess. + +Tom was clumsy. He did not hold the pipes well. He dropped some of them on the floor. He stepped on some of them and hurt his foot. He bumped into some of them and made them fall. He made a lot of noise and a lot of trouble. + +His mom came to see what was going on. She saw the pipes everywhere. She saw Tom's tower, which was very wobbly and not very tall. She saw Tom's face, which was angry and sad. She said, "Tom, you need to quit playing with pipes. You are making a big mess and you are hurting yourself. You need to clean up and play with something else." + +Tom did not want to quit. He wanted to finish his tower. He said, "No, mom, I want to play with pipes. I want to make the tower high. I can do it. Go away." He pushed his mom away and tried to add more pipes to his tower. + +But he pushed too hard. He made his tower fall down. He made his mom fall down. He made a big crash. He broke some of his pipes. He broke some of his mom's things. He broke his mom's arm. + +Tom was very sorry. He cried and said, "I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry. I did not mean to hurt you. I did not mean to break things. I was clumsy. I should have quit playing with pipes. I should have listened to you." + +But it was too late. His mom was hurt and angry. She had to go to the hospital. She had to get a cast. She had to pay a lot of money. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She did not want to see his pipes anymore. She threw them away. + +Tom was very sad. He had no pipes. He had no tower. He had no mom. He had a bad ending. +Sam and Mia were twins. They liked to play outside with their dog, Spot. One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny and new. + +"Look, Mia, a balloon!" Sam said. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Mia said. "Can we have it?" + +They ran after the balloon, but it was too high and too fast. Spot ran with them, barking and wagging his tail. + +"Come back, balloon, come back!" Sam and Mia shouted. + +But the balloon did not come back. It flew away, over the trees and the hills. + +Sam and Mia were sad. They stopped running and sat on the grass. Spot licked their faces and wagged his tail. + +"Don't be sad, Sam and Mia," Spot said. "I have a surprise for you." + +"What is it, Spot?" Sam and Mia asked. + +Spot ran to a nearby bush and dug with his paws. He pulled out something and brought it to them. It was another balloon. It was blue and shiny and new. + +"Where did you find this, Spot?" Sam and Mia asked. + +"I saw it fall from the sky, when you were chasing the red balloon," Spot said. "I hid it for you, so you could have it." + +Sam and Mia smiled and hugged Spot. They thanked him for his surprise. They played with the blue balloon, tossing it in the air and catching it. They were happy again. + +The end. +Lily liked to mark with her pen. She marked on paper, on books, on walls. She made lines and dots and shapes. She thought her marks were pretty. + +One day, she found a new pen in her room. It was unknown to her. It was big and shiny and had a button on the side. She wanted to mark with it. She pressed the button and a bright light came out of the pen. She was surprised and happy. She pointed the pen at the wall and made a mark. But the mark was not like the others. It was a hole. A big, round hole. + +Lily heard a loud noise from the other side of the wall. It was her dad. He was angry. He came to her room and saw the hole. He saw the pen in her hand. He said, "Lily, what did you do? That is not a pen. That is a laser. You made a hole in the wall. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. You are in big trouble, young lady." + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not know the pen was a laser. She did not mean to make a hole. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted to mark with the pen. I didn't know it was a laser. Please don't be mad at me." + +Dad sighed and hugged her. He said, "I'm not mad at you, Lily. I'm glad you are okay. But you have to be careful with things you don't know. You have to ask me or mom before you use them. And you have to mark only on paper, not on walls. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, dad. I'm sorry. I love you." + +Dad said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's go and fix the hole." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a huge dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a big tail and a wet nose. + +"Look, Lily, a dog!" Ben says. He likes dogs. He wants to pet the dog. + +"Wait, Ben, we don't know the dog. Maybe it is not nice," Lily says. She is scared of big dogs. She thinks they might bite. + +Ben does not listen. He runs to the dog. He says, "Hello, dog, can I pet you?" + +The dog does not like Ben. It barks loud. It makes a scary sound. It shows its teeth. + +Ben is afraid. He runs away from the dog. He screams, "Help, Lily, help!" + +Lily hears Ben. She is brave. She jogs to Ben. She grabs his hand. She says, "Come on, Ben, let's go!" + +They jog away from the dog. They find a safe place. They hug each other. They are glad they are okay. + +They learn a lesson. They do not go near strange dogs. They only pet dogs they know. They are smart and careful. They are still friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They had a lot of fun. + +But then the sky became dark and thick. It was going to rain. Tom and Lily heard a loud noise. It was a roar. They looked around and saw a big lion. The lion had escaped from the zoo. It was hungry and angry. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They wanted to go home. But the lion was blocking their way. It roared again and showed its teeth. + +"Help!" Tom and Lily shouted. "Help us!" + +A man heard their cries. He was a zookeeper. He had a big net and a big stick. He ran to the park and saw the lion. He threw the net over the lion and hit it with the stick. The lion stopped roaring and became quiet. + +"Are you okay, kids?" the zookeeper asked Tom and Lily. "I'm sorry, the lion broke out of its cage. It won't hurt you anymore." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were happy and relieved. The zookeeper took them to their mom and dad. They hugged them and thanked the zookeeper. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They should never play in the park when it is dark and thick. They should always stay close to their mom and dad. And they should never talk to lions. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb it. + +"Look, Ben, there is a rope on the tree. Maybe we can tie it and swing," Lila said. + +"Good idea, Lila. Let's try it," Ben said. + +They took the rope and tied it to a branch. They made a loop and put their feet in it. They pushed each other and swung back and forth. They laughed and had fun. + +But then they heard a noise. It was a bird. A big, black bird with a long beak and shiny eyes. It was sitting on another branch. It was watching them. It made a loud caw. + +"Who are you, bird? Why are you here?" Lila asked. + +The bird did not answer. It just cawed again. It looked mysterious. + +"Maybe it wants to play with us," Ben said. + +"Or maybe it wants to take our rope," Lila said. + +They did not know what to do. They felt scared. + +Then they saw a girl. She was walking with a basket. She had flowers and fruits in it. She smiled at them. + +"Hello, I am Mia. Do you want some of my flowers and fruits?" she asked. + +"Yes, please. Thank you, Mia," Lila and Ben said. + +They took some flowers and fruits from the basket. They gave some to the bird. The bird took them and ate them. It stopped cawing. It looked happy. + +"See, the bird is not bad. It was just hungry," Mia said. + +"You are right, Mia. The bird is our friend now," Lila and Ben said. + +They all smiled. They felt peace. They played together until the sun went down. +Lily liked to play with her red top. She spun it on the floor and watched it go round and round. She liked the sound it made and the way it sparkled in the sun. Her dad gave her the top for her birthday and told her to take good care of it. + +One day, Lily wanted to spin her top outside. She asked her mom if she could go to the park. Her mom said yes, but she had to wear her coat and hat. It was cold and windy. She also said to remind her to bring her top back inside when she was done. Lily nodded and ran to get her coat and hat. + +At the park, Lily found a smooth spot to spin her top. She let it go and watched it whirl. She smiled and clapped her hands. She spun it again and again. She was having so much fun that she forgot about the wind. + +The wind blew harder and harder. It lifted the leaves and the dust. It also lifted Lily's top. It flew up in the air and away from Lily. Lily gasped and ran after it. She tried to catch it, but it was too fast. She saw it land on the road, where a big truck was coming. + +Lily screamed and stopped. She was scared. She wanted her top back. She wanted her dad. She saw the truck hit her top and crush it. It made a loud noise and a big mess. Lily's top was dead. She cried and cried. She wished she had reminded her mom to bring it back inside. She wished she had listened to her dad. She wished she had taken good care of her top. +Anna is a baby. She sleeps in a crib. She likes her crib. It has soft blankets and toys. She has a teddy bear. She hugs her teddy bear. + +One night, Anna hears a noise. She opens her eyes. She sees a shadow. It is big and scary. She is afraid. She thinks it is a monster. She cries. + +"Anna, Anna, what is wrong?" Mommy comes to the crib. She turns on the light. She sees Anna and her teddy bear. She picks up Anna and hugs her. + +"Mommy, there is a monster!" Anna says. She points to the shadow. + +Mommy looks at the shadow. She smiles. She says, "That is not a monster, Anna. That is your chair. It has your coat and hat on it. See?" + +Anna looks at the shadow. She sees the chair and the coat and the hat. She thinks Mommy is right. She says, "Oh, I see. It is not a monster. It is a chair." + +Mommy says, "That's right. It is a chair. It is not scary. It is easy to make a mistake in the dark. But you are brave, Anna. You called for Mommy. And you have your teddy bear. He is your friend." + +Anna says, "Yes, Mommy. I am brave. And I have my teddy bear. He is my friend. Can I sleep with you, Mommy?" + +Mommy says, "Of course, Anna. You can sleep with me. Come on, let's go to my bed. We can cuddle and sleep. Good night, Anna. I love you." + +Mommy and Anna go to Mommy's bed. They cuddle and sleep. Anna is not afraid. She is happy. She loves Mommy. And she loves her teddy bear. +Lily loved yogurt. She ate it every day for breakfast. She liked all the flavors, but her favorite was strawberry. She always asked her mom for more. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, do you want to see how yogurt is made?" + +Lily was excited. She nodded and said, "Yes, please!" + +Her mom took her to the kitchen. She showed her a big jar with white stuff inside. She said, "This is yogurt. It is made from milk and good bugs. The good bugs eat the milk and make it thick and sour. That is why yogurt is good for you." + +Lily looked at the jar. She saw tiny bubbles in the white stuff. She said, "The good bugs are working?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, they are. They grow and multiply in the milk. They need warmth and time to do that. That is why we keep the jar in a warm place and wait for a few hours." + +Lily said, "Can I help?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, you can. You can add some fruit to the yogurt when it is ready. What fruit do you want to add?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "Strawberries!" + +Her mom said, "Good choice. Let's go get some strawberries from the fridge." + +Lily and her mom went to the fridge. They took out a bowl of fresh strawberries. They washed them and cut them into small pieces. They put them in a small bowl and waited for the yogurt to be ready. + +Lily was excited. She could not wait to taste the yogurt she helped to make. She said, "Mom, thank you for showing me how yogurt is made. I love yogurt. And I love you." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love yogurt too. And I love you more." +Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They had cars, dolls, balls and blocks. They liked to make noises and stories with their toys. + +But then, Lila saw a big worm on the earth. She was curious and scared. She wanted to touch it, but she also wanted to run away. She called Ben to see the worm. + +"Ben, Ben, look! A worm!" she shouted. + +But Ben did not look. He was busy with his cars. He made them zoom and crash. He ignored Lila and the worm. + +"Ben, please, look! It is moving!" Lila said again. + +But Ben still did not look. He said, "I don't care. Worms are boring. Cars are fun." + +Lila felt sad and angry. She thought Ben was a poor friend. She picked up the worm and threw it at Ben. + +"Hey, stop it!" Ben yelled. He dropped his cars and wiped his face. He saw the worm on the ground. He was disgusted and scared. He ran away from Lila and the worm. + +Lila laughed. She said, "Now you look. Worms are not boring. They are funny. And you are a silly boy." + +She picked up her dolls and balls and played with them. She ignored Ben and his cars. She was happy with the worm. +Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat a sandwich. Mom made them a sandwich with cheese and ham. She put the sandwich on a plate and said, "Here you go, kids. Eat your sandwich and share nicely." + +Tom and Lily took the plate and went to the backyard. They saw a big tree with a hole. They wanted to play in the hole. They put the plate on the ground and crawled into the hole. They thought it was fun and dark. + +But they did not see a big dog. The dog smelled the sandwich. He ran to the plate and ate the sandwich. He licked the plate clean. He was happy and full. + +Tom and Lily heard a noise. They crawled out of the hole. They looked for the plate and the sandwich. They saw nothing. The plate and the sandwich were gone. They disappeared. + +They were sad and angry. They cried and shouted. "Where is our sandwich? Who took our sandwich? We are hungry!" + +Mom heard them. She came to the backyard. She saw the dog. She saw the crumbs. She knew what happened. She said, "I'm sorry, kids. The dog ate your sandwich. He was hungry too. You should not leave your food on the ground. You should eat it in the kitchen." + +Tom and Lily did not listen. They were deaf to Mom. They did not say sorry. They did not say thank you. They did not learn their lesson. They were bad kids. +Anna likes to play with her rocks. She has many rocks of different colors and shapes. She calls them minerals. She likes to sort them and make patterns with them. She thinks they are cute. + +One day, she finds a new rock in the garden. It is shiny and round and has a hole in the middle. She puts it on her finger and pretends it is a ring. She feels very happy and pretty. + +She runs to show her mom her new ring. "Look, mom, look!" she says. "I found a cute mineral ring in the garden. Do you like it?" + +Mom smiles and hugs Anna. "I do like it, sweetie. It is very cute and special. Do you know what it is?" she asks. + +Anna shakes her head. "No, mom, I don't know. What is it?" + +Mom tells Anna that it is a washer. A washer is a metal thing that people use to fix things. Sometimes they fall off and get lost in the dirt. "But you can keep it as a ring, if you want. It is your treasure," she says. + +Anna nods and thanks mom. She likes her washer ring. She thinks it is a magic mineral that makes her happy. She wears it every day and shows it to her friends. They all think it is cute, too. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. They saw a big box with a hole in it. Lily said, "Maybe there is something inside. Let's go and see." + +They crawled into the box, but as soon as they did, the hole closed behind them. They heard a loud laugh. It was Max, their big brother. He said, "I got you! You are in my trap. You can't escape. You have to do what I say." + +Lily and Tom were scared and angry. They did not like Max's trick. They looked around the box. They saw some crayons, some paper, and some scissors. They had an idea. They were creative. + +They used the crayons and paper to make a sign that said, "Help! We are trapped by a mean monster. Please save us." They used the scissors to cut a small window in the box. They put the sign on the window and waited. + +Soon, they heard their mom coming. She saw the sign and the window. She said, "Oh no! What happened? Who trapped you?" She opened the box and hugged Lily and Tom. They told her what Max did. She said, "That was not nice. He should say sorry. Let's go and find him." + +They left the box and went to look for Max. They saw him hiding behind a tree. He saw them and said, "How did you escape? How did you make that sign?" Lily and Tom said, "We used our brains. We were creative. You should not trap us. You should play with us." Max felt sorry. He said, "You are right. I am sorry. Can we be friends?" Lily and Tom said, "Yes, but no more traps." They all smiled and played together. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big fence. The fence has holes. Tom and Lily can see the cars and the people on the other side. + +One day, Tom and Lily find a bag of seeds. They are round and shiny. Tom and Lily wonder what they are. They decide to scatter them on the grass. Maybe they will grow into flowers or trees. + +"Look, Lily, I'm making a pattern!" Tom says. He throws some seeds in a circle. + +"That's nice, Tom, but I'm making a letter!" Lily says. She throws some seeds in a line. + +They have fun scattering the seeds. They do not see the birds. The birds are hungry. They see the seeds. They fly down and eat them. + +"Hey, stop that!" Tom shouts. He runs after the birds. He tries to scare them away. + +"Tom, come back!" Lily calls. She runs after Tom. She does not want him to go too far. + +The birds are fast. They fly away from Tom. They fly over the fence. Tom and Lily follow them. They reach the fence. They look through the holes. + +They see a big road. They see many cars. They see a lot of noise. They feel scared. + +"Tom, this is not the park. This is the street. We should not be here. It is not safe." Lily says. + +"You're right, Lily. Let's go back. I'm sorry. I was silly." Tom says. + +They hold hands. They run back to the park. They find their bag of seeds. It is empty. The birds ate them all. + +They feel sad. They sit on the grass. They hug each other. They feel warm. + +"Maybe we can find some more seeds another day. Or we can pick some flowers. Or we can draw some pictures." Lily says. + +"OK, Lily. That sounds good. You're a good friend." Tom says. + +They smile. They are happy. They are still friends. +Ben and Sam are best friends. They go to the same school and wear the same uniform. They like to play soccer and draw pictures together. They are always happy when they see each other. + +One day, their teacher tells them that they have to separate. She says that they have to go to different classes because they are too noisy and they don't listen. Ben and Sam are very sad and angry. They don't want to separate. They want to stay together. + +They decide to make a plan. They wait until the teacher is not looking and they sneak out of their classes. They run to the playground and hide behind a big tree. They hug each other and say, "We are best friends. We don't care about the uniform. We don't care about the classes. We just want to be together." + +They start to play soccer and draw pictures. They laugh and have fun. They think they are amazing. They think they are smarter than the teacher. + +But they are not. The teacher sees them and finds them. She is very angry and disappointed. She says, "Ben and Sam, you are in big trouble. You have to separate. You have to go back to your classes. You have to learn and behave. You have to respect the rules. You are not amazing. You are naughty." + +Ben and Sam are very sorry and scared. They cry and say, "We are sorry, teacher. We just wanted to be together. We love each other. We are best friends." + +The teacher sighs and says, "I know, Ben and Sam. I know you are best friends. But you have to understand that sometimes you have to separate. You have to do different things and meet different people. You have to grow and learn. You can still be best friends, but you have to respect the rules. You have to wear the uniform. You have to go to your classes. You have to listen and behave. That's how you can be amazing." + +Ben and Sam nod and say, "We understand, teacher. We will try to be amazing. We will wear the uniform. We will go to our classes. We will listen and behave. But can we still play together after school?" + +The teacher smiles and says, "Of course, Ben and Sam. Of course you can still play together after school. You can still be best friends. You can still have fun. Just remember to separate when you have to. And remember to be amazing." +Lily and Tom like to jog in the park with their dog Spot. They jog fast and slow, up and down, and around the trees. Spot likes to chase the birds and the squirrels. He barks and wags his tail. + +One day, they see a big hole in the ground. It is near a big tree. They wonder what is in the hole. They go closer to look. Spot goes first. He sniffs the hole and growls. + +"Be careful, Spot!" Lily says. "There might be something weird in there." + +Tom says, "Maybe it is a treasure. Or a monster. Or a root." + +"A root?" Lily asks. "What is a root?" + +Tom says, "A root is a part of a plant that grows under the ground. It helps the plant get water and food. Sometimes, roots are big and strong. They can break the ground and make holes." + +Lily says, "Oh, I see. Maybe this hole is made by a root. Let's find out." + +They bend down and look into the hole. They see something brown and hard. It looks like a stick. But it is not a stick. It is a root. A big root. A big root with teeth. + +The root jumps out of the hole and snaps at them. It is a weird root. A weird root that can bite. + +"Run!" Lily screams. "Run, Tom, run!" + +They run away from the root. They run fast and far. They run back to their home. Spot runs with them. He barks and wags his tail. + +They tell their mom and dad about the weird root. They do not believe them. They think it is a silly story. They laugh and hug them. + +Lily and Tom are glad they are safe. They are glad they have Spot. They are glad they have each other. + +They decide to jog in a different park next time. +Tom likes to print. He has a big box of paper and many colors of crayons. He prints his name, his mom's name, and his dog's name. He prints pictures of cars, trees, and stars. He prints a lot of things and puts them on the wall. + +One day, Tom prints something new. He prints a big bowl of spaghetti. He loves spaghetti. It is his favorite food. He prints red sauce and yellow cheese on the spaghetti. He prints a fork and a spoon next to the bowl. He prints a smiley face on the bottom of the paper. + +He shows his mom his print. She is very happy. She says, "What a nice print, Tom! You are very good at printing. Do you want some real spaghetti for lunch?" Tom nods and says, "Yes, please!" He is very happy, too. He hugs his mom and his print. He can't wait to eat spaghetti. +Sara was going to the park with her mom. She had her favorite purse with her. It was pink and had a flower on it. She liked to put her toys and snacks in it. + +At the park, Sara saw a girl who was crying. She went to see what was wrong. The girl said, "I lost my purse. It was blue and had a star on it. I don't know where it is." + +Sara felt sorry for the girl. She said, "Don't cry. Maybe we can find it. Let's look around the park." She took the girl's hand and they walked together. + +They looked under the slides, behind the swings, and in the sandbox. But they could not find the blue purse. The girl was still sad. + +Sara had an idea. She said, "I have a purse. It is pink and has a flower on it. You can have it if you want. I can share it with you." + +The girl looked at Sara's purse. She smiled. She said, "Really? You would give me your purse? That is very nice of you. Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend." + +Sara smiled too. She said, "You're welcome. I'm happy to share. We can play together with my toys and snacks. They are in the purse." + +The girl nodded. She said, "Yes, let's play. What is your name?" + +Sara said, "My name is Sara. What is yours?" + +The girl said, "My name is Lily. I'm glad I met you, Sara." + +Sara and Lily hugged. They opened the purse and took out the toys and snacks. They played and ate and had fun. They forgot about the lost purse. They were happy. +Tom has a robot toy that he likes very much. He plays with it every day and makes it do funny things. He can make it walk, talk, dance and sing. He can also make it lie down and pretend to sleep. + +One day, Tom wants to show his robot to his friend Lily. He brings it to her house and knocks on the door. Lily opens the door and smiles. She likes Tom and his robot. She invites him to come in and play. + +Tom and Lily have a lot of fun with the robot. They make it do all kinds of things and laugh a lot. They are very polite and take turns to control the robot. They also share their snacks and drinks. + +After a while, Tom says he has to go home. He thanks Lily for playing with him and his robot. He picks up his robot and makes it say goodbye to Lily. Lily says goodbye to Tom and his robot. She gives them a hug and a kiss. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They are good friends and they like each other's toys. They promise to play again soon. Tom goes home with his robot. He makes it lie down and pretend to sleep. He lies down next to it and falls asleep too. He dreams of playing with Lily and his robot again. +Lila and Tom are playing in the yard. They see a big truck with a loud noise. The truck stops near their house and a man gets out. He has a big bag on his back. + +"Hello, kids. I am here to return your mom's books. She borrowed them from the library." The man says. + +"What is a library?" Lila asks. + +"A library is a place with many books. You can borrow them and read them and then return them." The man explains. + +"Can we see the books?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. They are very old and rough. They have dust on them." The man warns. + +He opens the bag and shows them some books. They have pictures and words on them. Lila and Tom touch them gently. They feel the rough covers and the dust on their fingers. + +"These books are so cool. Can we borrow them too?" Lila asks. + +"Sorry, kids. These books are very special. They are for grown-ups only. You have to wait until you are older to read them." The man says. + +He closes the bag and goes to the door. He knocks and their mom opens. + +"Thank you for returning the books. I enjoyed them very much." Their mom says. + +"You are welcome. I am glad you liked them. Have a nice day." The man says. + +He gets back in the truck and drives away. Lila and Tom wave goodbye. + +"Mom, can we go to the library someday?" Lila asks. + +"Of course, honey. We can go next week. They have many books for kids too. You will love them." Their mom says. + +She hugs them and takes them inside. They wash their hands and have a snack. They are happy and curious. They want to learn more about books. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big bag under a tree. It was open and had many things inside. + +"Look, Ben, a bag!" Lily said. "Let's see what's in it." + +Ben was curious too. He ran to the bag and looked inside. He saw a ball, a book, a hat and a toy car. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Ben said. He took out the ball and threw it in the air. + +Lily followed him and took out the book. She opened it and saw pictures of animals. + +"Look, Ben, a lion!" Lily said. She pointed to the book. + +Ben caught the ball and ran to Lily. He looked at the book and saw the lion. + +"Roar!" Ben said. He pretended to be a lion and chased Lily. + +Lily laughed and ran away. She saw the hat and put it on her head. + +"Stop, Ben, stop!" Lily said. "I have a hat. I am the boss." + +Ben stopped and looked at Lily. He saw the hat and smiled. + +"You have a hat. You are the boss." Ben said. He saw the toy car and took it. "But I have a car. I can drive." + +Lily saw the toy car and wanted it too. + +"Give me the car, Ben, give me the car!" Lily said. She urged Ben to share the car. + +Ben did not want to share the car. He liked the car and held it tight. + +"No, Lily, no!" Ben said. He urged Lily to leave him alone. + +Lily and Ben started to fight. They pulled the car and shouted. + +"Mine, mine, mine!" Ben said. + +"Mine, mine, mine!" Lily said. + +They did not see the man who came to the tree. He was the owner of the bag. He was angry and scared. + +"Hey, hey, hey!" The man said. He yelled at Lily and Ben. "What are you doing with my bag? Give me back my things!" + +Lily and Ben were shocked. They dropped the car and ran away. They were sorry and scared. + +"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Lily said. + +"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Ben said. + +They ran to their mom and dad. They hugged them and told them what happened. + +Mom and dad were not happy. They told Lily and Ben to be careful and respectful. + +"Don't touch things that are not yours." Mom said. + +"Say sorry when you make a mistake." Dad said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned a lesson. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +"Sorry, Lily." Ben said. + +"Sorry, Ben." Lily said. + +They decided to play something else. They shared their toys and had fun. They were friends again. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They named him Bob. + +"Hello, Bob!" they said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +But Bob did not say anything. He just stood there in the snow. + +"Maybe he is cold," Lily said. "Maybe he wants to go underground, where it is warm." + +"How can we take him underground?" Tom asked. "He is too big and heavy." + +Lily had an idea. She ran to the shed and got a shovel. She started to dig a hole next to Bob. + +"Help me, Tom!" she said. "We can make a tunnel for Bob." + +Tom got another shovel and joined Lily. They dug and dug until they made a big hole. Then they pushed Bob into the hole. + +"Bye, Bob!" they said. "Have fun underground!" + +They covered the hole with snow and ran back to the house. + +But they did not know that Bob was not happy underground. He missed the sun and the wind and the children. He wanted to go back to the snow. He tried to move, but he could not. He was stuck in the hole. He felt his nose and his eyes and his hat and his scarf freeze. He wished he could talk and ask for help. But he could not. He was just a snowman. And being a snowman was difficult. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big shiny thing on a table. It was a trophy. Sara wanted to touch it. + +"Look, Ben, a trophy! It is so shiny and pretty. Can I touch it?" Sara asked. + +Ben shook his head. "No, Sara, you can't. That is not ours. It belongs to someone else. We have to protect it. If we touch it, we might break it or lose it. Then someone will be sad." + +Sara pouted. She really liked the trophy. She thought it was charming. She wanted to hold it and pretend it was hers. She did not listen to Ben. She ran to the table and reached for the trophy. + +"Stop, Sara, stop!" Ben shouted. He ran after her. But he was too late. Sara grabbed the trophy and lifted it up. But it was too heavy for her. She dropped it on the ground. It made a loud noise. It broke into pieces. + +Sara and Ben gasped. They were scared. They heard footsteps. Someone was coming. It was the owner of the trophy. He was a big man. He looked angry. + +"Who did this? Who broke my trophy?" He yelled. + +Sara and Ben did not know what to do. They wanted to run away. But they also felt sorry. They knew they did something bad. They decided to tell the truth. + +"We are sorry, sir. We broke your trophy. We did not mean to. We were just curious. We thought it was charming. We are very sorry." Sara and Ben said. + +The man looked at them. He saw their scared and sorry faces. He felt a little less angry. He sighed. + +"Well, I appreciate your honesty. But you should not touch things that are not yours. You should protect them. This trophy was very important to me. I won it in a contest. It was a prize. Now it is ruined." + +Sara and Ben felt very bad. They wished they could fix the trophy. They wished they had listened to Ben. They learned a lesson. + +"Is there anything we can do to make it up to you, sir?" Sara and Ben asked. + +The man thought for a moment. He smiled a little. + +"Well, you can help me pick up the pieces. And you can promise me to never touch other people's things again. And you can give me a hug. That might make me feel better." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They helped the man pick up the pieces. They promised him to never touch other people's things again. And they gave him a hug. The man felt a little better. He thanked them and left. + +Sara and Ben felt a little better too. They said sorry to each other. They hugged each other. They decided to play with their own toys. They decided to protect them. And they decided to be more careful. They were still friends. +Ben and Mia like to jog in the park with their dog, Rex. Rex is a big, brown dog who likes to chase birds and squirrels. Sometimes, Rex runs too fast and pulls Ben and Mia with him. Ben and Mia laugh and try to keep up with Rex. + +One day, they see a new sign in the park. The sign has a picture of a dog and a red circle with a line through it. The sign says: "No dogs allowed". Ben and Mia do not understand the sign. They think it is a game. They say: "Look, Rex, a new game! Can you find the dog in the sign?" + +Rex barks and runs towards the sign. He tries to bite the sign, but it is hard and metal. He hurts his teeth and whines. Ben and Mia run after Rex and try to calm him down. They say: "It's okay, Rex, it's not a real dog. It's just a picture. Let's go and play somewhere else." + +But then, they hear a loud voice behind them. It is a man in a blue uniform. He has a badge and a whistle. He is angry. He says: "Hey, you kids, what are you doing? Don't you see the sign? No dogs allowed in this park! You have to leave now or I will call your parents!" + +Ben and Mia are scared. They do not like the man. They do not want to leave the park. They love Rex and they want to play with him. They say: "But, mister, Rex is our friend. He is a good dog. He just wanted to play with the sign. Please, let us stay. We will be good." + +The man shakes his head. He says: "No, no, no. Rules are rules. You have to follow them. This park is for people, not for dogs. Dogs make noise and mess and trouble. You have to go now or I will call your parents!" + +Ben and Mia look at each other. They have an idea. They say: "Okay, mister, we will go. But can we jog to the gate? We like to jog. It is fun and healthy." + +The man nods. He says: "Fine, fine, you can jog. But hurry up. And keep your dog on the leash. I don't want him to run away or bother anyone." + +Ben and Mia smile. They say: "Thank you, mister. Come on, Rex, let's jog to the gate." They hold Rex's leash and start to jog. But they do not jog straight. They jog in a zigzag. They jog left and right, up and down, around and between. They jog past the flowers and the trees, the swings and the slides, the benches and the fountain. They jog in a zigzag and make the man dizzy. They jog in a zigzag and make Rex happy. They jog in a zigzag and have fun. + +The man tries to follow them, but he cannot. He is too slow and too tired. He blows his whistle and shouts: "Hey, you kids, stop that! Stop that right now! That's not jogging, that's cheating! Come back here!" + +But Ben and Mia do not stop. They do not come back. They jog in a zigzag until they reach the gate. Then they wave goodbye to the man and say: "Bye, mister, thanks for the game. We had a great time. See you soon!" + +They jog out of the park with Rex and go home. They are happy and proud. They have outsmarted the man and saved Rex. They have jogged in a zigzag and had fun. They have learned a new game and a new word. They have learned zigzag. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a brown ball and a radio. They throw the ball and catch it. They listen to the radio and dance. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. It is black and white. It runs to Tom and Sue. It barks loud. Tom and Sue are scared. They drop the ball and the radio. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom says. "We do not want to play with you!" + +The dog does not listen. It picks up the ball in its mouth. It shakes it hard. It makes the ball dirty. It drops the ball and runs to the radio. It bites the radio. It makes the radio break. It makes a bad noise. + +"Stop, dog!" Sue says. "You are bad! You broke our radio!" + +The dog does not care. It wags its tail. It thinks it is fun. It looks at Tom and Sue. It wants to play more. + +Tom and Sue do not want to play with the dog. They want to go home. They are sad and angry. They look for help. + +They see a man. He is tall and kind. He has a hat and a whistle. He is a park ranger. He sees the dog and the broken radio. He knows the dog is bad. + +"Hey, dog!" the man says. "Leave them alone! Come here!" + +He blows his whistle. He makes a loud sound. The dog hears the sound. It stops biting the radio. It looks at the man. It is afraid. It runs away. + +The man goes to Tom and Sue. He smiles. He is nice. + +"Are you OK?" the man asks. "I am sorry about the dog. It is not supposed to be here. It is a stray dog. It has no home. It does not know how to behave." + +Tom and Sue nod. They are OK. They are glad the man came. They thank him. + +"You are welcome," the man says. "I am sorry about your ball and your radio. They are ruined. Can I give you something else?" + +He opens his bag. He has many things. He has books and toys and stickers. He lets Tom and Sue choose. + +Tom and Sue look at the things. They see something they like. They point at it. It is a brown bear. It is soft and cute. It has a red bow. + +"Can we have the bear?" Tom and Sue ask. + +"Of course," the man says. "You can have the bear. It is yours. You can share it. It is a good bear. It will not bite or break anything." + +Tom and Sue smile. They are happy. They take the bear. They hug it. They hug the man. + +"Thank you, man," Tom and Sue say. "You are good. You are our friend." + +The man smiles. He is happy too. He is their friend. He waves goodbye. He goes to his car. He drives away. + +Tom and Sue go to their home. They have the bear. They do not have the ball or the radio. They do not mind. They have each other. They are friends. They are happy. +Lily and Sam were playing with paper and scissors. They liked to cut shapes and make things. Lily wanted to make a bird. She cut a big circle for the body and two small triangles for the beak and the tail. She cut two long strips for the wings. + +"Look, Sam, I made a bird!" Lily said. "It can soar in the sky!" + +Sam looked at Lily's bird. He wanted to make one too. But he did not know how to cut a circle. He tried, but his circle was lumpy and uneven. He got angry. + +"Your bird is ugly!" Sam said. "It can't soar, it can only fall!" + +He grabbed Lily's bird and tore it with his scissors. Lily cried. + +"Sam, why did you do that?" Lily said. "That was not nice! That was mean!" + +Sam did not care. He threw the pieces of Lily's bird on the floor and ran away. Lily was very sad. She picked up the pieces and tried to put them back together. But it was not easy. Her bird was broken. It could not soar anymore. +Anna and Ben like to bake with Mom. They help her mix flour, eggs, milk and sugar in a big bowl. They pour the batter into a wide pan and put it in the oven. They wait for the cake to be ready. + +But something goes wrong. The oven is too hot and the cake burns. It smells bad and looks black. Mom takes it out and says, "Oh no, this cake is disgusting. We can't eat it." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They wanted to eat the cake. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We tried to help you." + +Mom hugs them and says, "It's okay, my loves. You did your best. Baking is fun, but sometimes it doesn't work. We can try again another day. How about we have some fruit instead?" + +Anna and Ben smile. They like fruit. They wash their hands and sit at the table. They eat apples, bananas and grapes. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best." + +Mom smiles too. She says, "You are welcome, my loves. You are the best too." +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to swim in the pool. They had fun playing with the ball and the floats. They also liked to dive under the water and see who could hold their breath longer. + +One day, they saw a big basket of snacks on the table near the pool. There were cookies, chips, and juice. They were hungry and wanted to eat some. But their mom said they had to wait until they were done swimming. + +Lily and Ben did not listen to their mom. They thought they could eat some snacks and then go back to the pool. They sneaked to the table and grabbed some cookies and chips. They stuffed them in their mouths and ran back to the pool. + +They jumped into the water and tried to dive again. But they felt sick in their tummies. The snacks did not fit well with the water. They started to cough and choke. They could not breathe. They tried to call for help, but no one heard them. + +Their mom came back to the pool and saw them floating on the surface. She screamed and ran to them. She pulled them out of the water and tried to make them breathe. But it was too late. Lily and Ben were gone. They ate too many snacks and drowned in the pool. +Lily liked to play with her dolls on the carpet. The carpet was white and soft, and she could make up stories with her dolls. One day, she was playing with her doll Anna, who had a blue dress and yellow hair. Lily pretended that Anna was a princess who lived in a castle. + +But then, Lily heard a loud noise outside. She looked out the window and saw a big truck. The truck was carrying a lot of dirt and rocks. Lily wondered what the truck was doing. She ran to the door and opened it. She wanted to see the truck better. + +She did not realize that she was still holding Anna in her hand. When she opened the door, Anna slipped out of her hand and fell on the ground. Lily gasped. She saw Anna lying on the dirt and rocks. Her blue dress was dirty and torn. Her yellow hair was tangled and messy. Lily felt very sad. She had lost her princess doll. + +She ran to pick up Anna, but the truck driver saw her. He honked his horn and shouted at her. He told her to go back inside. He said it was not safe for her to be outside. He said he was working on the road and he needed the dirt and rocks. Lily was scared. She dropped Anna again and ran back inside. She closed the door and cried. + +She wished she had not opened the door. She wished she had stayed on the carpet with her dolls. She wished she had not lost her princess doll. She hoped that Anna was not hurt. She hoped that she could find her again. She hoped that she could make her clean and pretty again. She loved her doll Anna. She was her favorite doll. +Anna likes to swim in the pool. She has a file with many pictures of fish. She wants to swim like a fish. She puts on her goggles and swims under the water. She sees a big fish on her file. It is blue and green and has a long tail. It is a powerful fish. Anna pretends to be the powerful fish. She moves her arms and legs fast. She makes bubbles with her mouth. She feels happy and free. + +But then she hears her mom call her name. She has to come out of the pool. It is time to go home. Anna is sad.

Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says she is proud of her. Anna feels happy again. She can swim like a fish in her dreams. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun making noises and pretending to go on adventures. + +Suddenly, Ben feels a tickle in his nose. He tries to hold it in, but he can't. He sneezes very loud and hard. His car flies out of his hand and hits a cup on the table. The cup is clear and has water in it. The water spills all over the table and the floor. + +"Oh no!" Anna says. "You sneezed and made a mess!" + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "I didn't mean to sneeze and break the cup." + +"It's okay, Ben," Anna says. "It was an accident. But we have to clean it up before Mommy sees it. She will be mad if we leave water on the floor." + +Anna and Ben get some paper towels and wipe the table and the floor. They throw the paper towels in the trash. They also pick up the car and the cup. The cup is not broken, but it has a crack in it. They put it back on the table, but they hide the crack with a napkin. + +"Phew, we did it!" Ben says. "The living room looks nice again." + +"Yes, we did!" Anna says. "But next time, cover your mouth when you sneeze, okay?" + +"Okay, Anna," Ben says. "And next time, don't put your cup so close to the edge of the table, okay?" + +"Okay, Ben," Anna says. "Now let's play some more!" + +They hug and smile. They are happy to be friends. They go back to playing with their toys. They hope Mommy won't notice the crack in the cup. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +But the sun is very hot. It makes them sweat and thirsty. They look for some shade. They see a big tree. They run to the tree and sit under it. + +"Ah, this is better," Lila says. "The tree helps us. It gives us shade and cool air." + +"Yes, it does," Tom says. "Do you know what kind of tree this is?" + +Lila shakes her head. She does not know. + +Tom points to the tree. He says, "This is a famous tree. It is an oak tree. It has big leaves and acorns. It is very old and strong. Many animals live in it. Like squirrels and birds and bugs." + +Lila looks at the tree. She sees the leaves and the acorns. She sees a squirrel and a bird and a bug. She smiles. She says, "Wow, this is a wonderful tree. I like it very much. Thank you, oak tree, for helping us." + +The tree does not say anything. But it seems to smile too. It rustles its leaves and drops an acorn. Lila and Tom pick up the acorn and look at it. They wonder what else the tree can teach them. They decide to stay and learn more. They are happy in the shade of the famous oak tree. +Lila and Ben liked to play with their crystals. They had many colors and shapes of crystals. They put them in the sun and watched them shine. They made patterns and pictures with them on the floor. + +One day, they decided to play outside with their crystals. They took a big basket and filled it with their favorite ones. They went to the park and found a nice spot under a tree. They started to make a big castle with their crystals. + +But they did not see a fierce dog that was running in the park. The dog saw the basket and thought it was a toy. He ran to the basket and grabbed it with his teeth. He shook it hard and the crystals flew out. He ran away with the basket, leaving Lila and Ben with no crystals. + +Lila and Ben were very sad. They had lost their crystals. They cried and hugged each other.

He will be lonely!" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She has an idea. + +"Let's bring him with us!" she says. "We can put him in a big box and take him to our room!" + +Ben likes the idea.

She ran to the bench and grabbed the purse. + +Sam followed her. He was scared. He saw a lady coming to the bench. She looked angry. + +"Hey, that is my purse! Give it back!" the lady shouted. + +Jill was scared too. She tried to hide the purse behind her back. She whispered to Sam, "What do we do?" + +Sam did not know.

One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the hole," Tom said. "Maybe we can find something cool." + +"No, Tom, that's not good," Lily said. "The hole is underground. It is dark and scary. We can get lost or hurt." + +But Tom did not listen. He jumped in the hole. Lily was scared, but she followed him. She did not want to be alone. + +They went deeper and deeper in the hole. They could not see anything. They could not hear anything. They could not find the way out. + +"Tom, I'm scared," Lily said. "We are lost. We need to go back." + +"I don't know how to go back," Tom said. "We are stuck." + +They cried and cried. They hoped someone would find them. But no one did. They stayed in the hole forever. + +The moral of the story is: Do not go in places that are not safe. Listen to your friends who care about you. +Anna and Ben are best friends.

We are going to the church to see them say 'I do' and then we are going to the party to eat cake and celebrate." + +Lily and Ben were excited. They put on their nice clothes and got in the car. They went to the church and sat with Mom and Dad. They saw their aunt and uncle walk down the aisle. They looked happy and pretty. They said 'I do' and kissed. Everyone clapped. + +Lily and Ben clapped too. They whispered to each other, "They are married now. They are a family. Maybe they will have a baby soon. That would be fun." + +They went to the party and ate cake and danced. They saw their aunt and uncle open their gifts. They had many gifts. Some were big and some were small. Some were shiny and some were soft. Lily and Ben wondered what was inside. + +Mom said, "They are gifted. They have many friends and family who love them and want to make them happy. They gave them gifts to show their love and to help them start their new life together." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They loved their aunt and uncle too. They wanted to make them happy.

Mommy put a bandage on it and gave her a hug and a kiss. Mira felt a little better, but she still wanted to play. + +"Can I go outside again, Mommy?" Mira asked. + +"Not today, sweetie. You need to rest your knee and let it heal. Why don't you read a book or draw a picture?" Mommy suggested. + +Mira pouted. She did not like to stay inside. She wanted to have fun and explore. She looked at her bookshelf and saw a book with a princess on the cover. She liked princesses. They were pretty and charming and had nice dresses.

They laughed and had fun. They also swung and jumped and ran. + +The person told them his name was Sam. He said he had no home and no family. He said he traveled a lot and slept in different places. + +Lila and Ben felt sorry for him. They wanted to be his friends. + +"Sam, you can come to our house. We have a big couch and a warm blanket. You can sleep there. You can also have some food and water and a shower. You can be clean and happy," Ben said. + +Sam was touched by their kindness. He thanked them and agreed to go with them. + +They held his hands and walked to their house. They introduced him to their mom and dad.

But today, Sara saw a big red rose and wanted to pick it for herself. She reached out her hand and tried to pull the rose from the stem. + +"Ow!" Sara cried. "It hurts!" + +Ben ran to her and saw blood on her finger. The rose had rough thorns that pricked Sara's skin. + +"Let me see," Ben said. He took Sara's hand and blew on her finger. "It's OK, Sara. It's just a little cut. Don't weep." + +But Sara was still weeping. She wanted the rose, but it was mean to her. She threw the rose on the ground and stomped on it. + +"No, Sara, don't do that!" Ben said. "The rose is not mean. It's just a flower. It has thorns to protect itself from bugs and animals. You have to be gentle with it." + +Sara looked at Ben and sniffed. She felt sorry for the rose. She picked it up and brushed off the dirt. She gave it to Ben and said, "I'm sorry, rose. I'm sorry, Ben. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben smiled and hugged Sara. He gave her the rose back and said, "Of course I can, Sara. You're my sister. And the rose is still beautiful. Here, let me put it in your hair." + +Sara smiled and let Ben put the rose in her hair.

They like to play with their toys and run in the park. But today they are not happy. They have to go to the hospital. Their mom says they need to get a shot.

They hold their mom's hand as they walk into the hospital. The hospital is big and white. There are many people and machines. Anna and Ben see a nurse. She is wearing a black dress and a white hat.

He helps Tim and Sam out. They are wet and shivering. + +Their mom and dad hug them and scold them. They say, "You were very naughty and foolish. You did not listen to us. You refused to stay inside. You put yourselves in danger. You could have drowned. You are lucky we found you. You are not big boys. You are ignorant. You do not know how to be safe. You need to learn to obey us. We love you and we want you to be happy and healthy." + +Tim and Sam are sorry and ashamed. They say, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We were ignorant. We did not know how to be safe.

Ben only has a small plate and two pancakes. + +"Look, Ben, I have more pancakes than you!" Lily says. "My plate is big and yours is small. I am smarter than you!" + +Ben feels sad. He likes pancakes too, but he does not have enough. He asks Mom for another plate. + +"Mom, can I have another plate, please?" Ben says. "Lily took a big plate and all the pancakes. I only have a small plate and two pancakes." + +Mom looks at Lily and Ben. She sees that Lily is greedy and Ben is polite. She decides to teach Lily a lesson. + +"Sure, Ben, you can have another plate," Mom says. "But you don't need a big plate. You can have a small plate and share with Lily. Sharing is caring, and caring is smart." + +Mom gives Ben a small plate and puts two more pancakes on it. She tells Lily to give Ben two of her pancakes too.

He did not want to eat his dinner. + +"Tommy, you have to eat your broccoli. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy," his mom said. She tried to give him a fork with a small piece of broccoli. + +"No, thank you, mom. I do not like broccoli. It is not good. It is bad," Tommy said. He crossed his arms and looked away. + +His mom sighed. She did not know what to do. She wanted Tommy to eat his vegetables. She looked at the clock. It was almost time for bed. + +"Tommy, how about this? If you eat your broccoli, you can have a story before bed. Any story you want. How does that sound?" she said. She hoped Tommy would agree. + +Tommy thought for a moment. He liked stories. He liked to hear about dragons and pirates and superheroes. He gazed at his mom. He saw that she was smiling. He wanted to make her happy. + +"Okay, mom. I will eat my broccoli. But only a little bit. And then you will read me a story. A long story. A good story," he said.

You ate your broccoli. Now you can have a story. What story do you want?" his mom said. She hugged him and kissed his cheek. + +Tommy smiled. He felt better. He forgot about the broccoli.

We like history." + +Mom and Dad say, "We are glad you like history, but you have to be careful. The animals from the book are not here. They are in other places. Some of them are not alive anymore. They are part of history. History is interesting, but it is not always safe. You have to stay with us when you go outside. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom say, "Yes, Mom and Dad. We understand. We will not crawl away again. We will stay with you. We love you." + +Mom and Dad say, "We love you too. Now let's go back to the big room. We will read the book together. We will learn about history together. But first, we have to clean you up. You are very messy." +Tom and Anna were hungry. They wanted to eat some soup. Mom made soup for them. She put it in two bowls. She said, "Be careful, the soup is hot. Do not bite the spoon." + +Tom and Anna nodded. They blew on the soup. They took small sips. The soup was yummy. It had carrots and noodles and chicken. Tom and Anna liked the soup. + +But Anna saw something in her bowl. It was green and round. She did not like green things. She said, "Mom, what is this?" + +Mom looked at Anna's bowl. She said, "That is a pea. It is good for you. It has vitamins. Try it, you might like it." + +Anna was thoughtful. She did not want to make Mom sad. She did not want to waste the soup. She decided to try the pea. She bit it with her teeth. It was soft and sweet. She liked it. She said, "Mom, you are right. The pea is good. Thank you for the soup." + +Mom smiled. She said, "You are welcome, Anna. You are a good girl. You are brave and thoughtful. I am proud of you." + +Tom and Anna finished their soup. They were full and happy. They hugged Mom. They said, "We love you, Mom. And we love your soup." +One day, a little girl named Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. But she was scared. It was so high and steep. She saw some other kids go on it and have fun. They laughed and shouted. + +"Come on, Lily, dare to go on the slide!" one of them said. "It's not scary, it's fun!" + +Lily looked at her mom. Her mom smiled and nodded. She said, "You can do it, Lily. I'm right here. Just be brave and try." + +Lily took a deep breath and climbed up the ladder. She reached the top and looked down. She felt her heart beat fast. She saw the other kids waiting for her. She saw her mom cheering for her. She decided to go for it. She sat on the slide and pushed herself off. + +She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She felt a thrill in her tummy. She went faster and faster. She reached the bottom and landed on her feet. She felt proud and happy. She did it! + +She ran to her mom and hugged her. Her mom hugged her back and said, "You did great, Lily! You were so graceful on the slide!" + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom!

She wanted to see it closer. + +She walked to the bug and bent down. She reached out her hand and touched it gently. The bug moved and tickled her finger. Lily giggled and said, "Hello, bug!" + +The bug flew up and landed on her nose. Lily laughed and said, "You're funny, bug!" + +The bug flew away and joined other bugs in the air. They danced and flew in circles. They looked graceful and happy. + +Lily watched them and said, "Bye, bug! Have fun!" + +She went back to her mom and said, "Mom, I saw a bug! It was green and shiny and funny!" + +Her mom said, "That's wonderful, Lily! You're so curious and kind!" + +Lily said, "I like bugs. And I like slides. And I like you, mom!" + +Her mom said, "I love you, Lily!" + +They hugged and kissed. They had a good day at the park. +Lily was a charming girl who liked to play with water. She had a faucet in her backyard that sprayed water when she turned it. She liked to fill her bucket with water and pour it on the flowers and the grass. She also liked to splash water on her dog, Spot, who barked and wagged his tail. + +One day, Lily's friend, Ben, came to visit her. He saw the faucet and wanted to play with it too. He ran to the faucet and turned it on. Water came out and wet his clothes and his hair. He laughed and said, "This is fun!" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, it is! Do you want to play with my bucket and my dog?" She gave him her bucket and they both filled it with water. Then they ran to Spot, who was lying under a tree.

I want to watch this show. It is very fun. You can count with me. Look, how many people are on the screen?" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily do not like the game show. They think it is boring. They do not want to count. They want to watch their show. They start to whine and cry. + +"Mom, please, we want to watch our show. It is our turn. You always watch your show. It is not fair." Lily says. + +Mom sighs. She loves her twins, but she also loves the game show. She thinks it is very smart and exciting. She wants to see who will win the big prize. She does not want to miss it. + +"Okay, okay. How about this? We can watch the game show for ten more minutes. Then we can watch your show. But you have to be quiet and calm. Can you do that?" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily think about it. They do not like the idea, but they do not have a choice. They nod and sit on the couch. They try to be quiet and calm. But they are not happy. They are not comfortable. They look at the clock and count the minutes. They hope the game show will end soon. They want to watch their show. They wonder if their mom will keep her promise. +Tom likes to play with his yellow shirt. He puts it on and runs around the house. He pretends he is a lion or a sunflower or a banana.

It is cold outside." + +Tom listens to his mom. He likes to wear his yellow shirt, but he does not like to be cold. He crawls out from under the bed.

She does not want them to disturb her while she is cooking. She tells them to be quiet and not to make a mess. + +But Anna and Ben do not listen to Mom. They start to play louder and louder.

He also had a towel that he used to dry himself after a bath. But Tom did not like his towel very much. It was old and gray and boring. + +One day, Tom had an idea. He took his towel and some of his toys and went to the backyard. He put the towel on the grass and spread it out. Then he put some of his toys on the towel. He put cars, trains, blocks, and animals.

Lily goes higher and higher. She wants to touch the clouds. Ben follows her, but he is scared. He holds on tight to the branch. He says, "Lily, be careful. It is too high. We should go down." + +Lily does not listen. She reaches for a cloud. But the cloud is not solid. It is just air. Lily loses her balance. She falls from the tree. She screams, "Help!" + +Ben is shocked. He sees Lily falling. He wants to help her, but he cannot move. He is too afraid. He closes his eyes and cries, "Lily!" + +Lily lands on the soft grass.

He is glad she is okay. He opens his eyes and sees her. He says, "Lily, I am sorry. I was too scared. I will come down." + +He lets go of the branch. He falls from the tree. He lands next to Lily.

But they did not know that the building was old and not safe. + +One day, they heard a loud noise. The floor was shaking. They saw dust and bricks falling from the ceiling. They were scared. + +"Tom, what is happening?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, Lily. But we have to escape. Come, follow me!" Tom said. + +They ran to the door, but it was blocked by a big pile of wood. They looked for another way out. They saw a window that was open. They climbed on a chair and jumped out of the window. They landed on the grass. + +They were safe, but they were dirty and hungry. They saw a man with a truck. He had a lot of fruits and vegetables. He saw the children and smiled. + +"Hello, kids. Are you okay? You came from that building? It is very dangerous. It is going to fall down soon. You are lucky to escape." He said. + +He gave them some apples and bananas. They were tasty. They thanked the man and ate the fruits. + +They felt better. They decided to never play in the building again. They went home and told their parents what happened.

Tom and Lily said they loved them too. They went to bed and had sweet dreams. +Lily wanted to give her mom a gift for her birthday. She found a glass in the kitchen that had flowers on it. She thought it was pretty. She took some paper and tape and tried to wrap the glass. + +But the paper was too big and the tape was too sticky. Lily got angry and ripped the paper. She made a mess on the floor. She started to cry. + +"What's wrong, Lily?" her dad asked. He came into the kitchen and saw the glass and the paper. + +"I wanted to wrap the glass for mom, but I can't do it. It's too hard. And the glass is ugly now," Lily said. + +Her dad hugged her and smiled. "The glass is not ugly, Lily. It's still pretty. And you don't need to wrap it. You can just give it to mom with a hug and a kiss. She will love it, because it's from you." + +Lily wiped her tears and nodded. She picked up the glass and ran to find her mom. She gave her the glass and said, "Happy birthday, mom. I love you." + +Her mom hugged her and kissed her. She looked at the glass and said, "Thank you, Lily. This is the best gift ever. I love you too." +On Wednesday, Sam and Lily went to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They saw a big dog near the fence. The dog was black and brown and had sharp teeth. + +"Can we speak to the dog, mom?" Sam asked. He liked dogs and wanted to pet it. + +"No, Sam, that dog is dangerous. It might bite you or Lily. Stay away from it," mom said. She held their hands and walked to another part of the park. + +But Sam did not listen to mom. He wanted to speak to the dog. He waited until mom was busy with Lily and ran to the fence. He called the dog and tried to touch its nose. + +The dog did not like Sam. It growled and barked and jumped at the fence. It bit Sam's hand and made it bleed. Sam screamed and cried. Mom heard him and ran to help him. She was very scared and angry. + +"Sam, why did you speak to the dog? I told you it was dangerous.

He learned his lesson. He never spoke to a dangerous dog again. +Tom and Lily wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found a big bowl and some eggs and flour and sugar.

She saw Tom and Lily lying on the street. She screamed and cried and ran to them. She hugged them and kissed them and tried to wake them up. But they did not wake up. They were not ready to go. They were not ready to leave Mom. Mom was not ready to lose them. She was not ready to say goodbye. +Anna loves to sort her toys. She has a big box with many toys inside.

This is my block pile. This is my animal pile. Can you sort, Spot?" She gives him a toy and waits for him to put it in the right pile. + +But Spot does not sort. He does not know what to do. He looks at Anna and wags his tail. He thinks the toy is for him. He takes it in his mouth and runs away. He does not want to sort. He wants to play. + +Anna chases him and laughs. She says, "No, Spot, that is not your toy. That is my toy. Give it back, please." She catches him and takes the toy. She puts it in the right pile. She says, "You are a silly pet, Spot. You do not sort. You play. But I love you anyway. You are brilliant and cute." She hugs him and kisses him. She thinks he is the best pet ever. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to look at the sky and see the clouds. They saw big white clouds, small gray clouds, and funny shaped clouds. + +"Look, that cloud looks like a bear!" Lily said, pointing. + +"I see it! And that one looks like a spoon!" Ben said, pointing at another cloud. + +They laughed and ran around the grass. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. They wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Can we go to the pond, Mommy?" Lily asked. + +"Okay, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. And don't stir the water with a stick. It might scare the ducks and fish," Mommy said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and took some bread from Mommy. They walked to the pond and threw some bread to the ducks and fish. They liked to see them eat and swim. + +But Ben saw a big stick on the ground. He picked it up and ran to the water. He wanted to stir the water with the stick. He thought it would be fun. + +"Ben, no! Mommy said don't stir the water!" Lily shouted. + +But Ben did not listen. He stirred the water with the stick. He made big waves and splashes. He made the water noisy. + +The ducks and fish did not like it. They were scared and angry. They quacked and splashed back at Ben. They bit his stick and his hand. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cried. He dropped the stick and ran away from the water. He had red marks on his hand. He was hurt and sad. + +Mommy heard Ben cry. She ran to him and hugged him. She looked at his hand and said, "Oh, Ben, what did you do? You stirred the water with a stick. You did not listen to me. You made the ducks and fish mad. They bit you. That's why you are hurt." + +"I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, ducks and fish. I won't stir the water again. I promise," Ben said. + +But it was too late. The ducks and fish did not want to be friends with Ben. They swam away from him. They did not eat his bread. They did not look at him. + +Lily and Ben did not play in the park anymore. They went home with Mommy. Ben had to put a bandage on his hand. He had to say sorry to Mommy and Lily many times. He had to learn to listen and be nice. + +He was not happy. He was sorry. He was sad. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used some things from the cupboard, like flour and sugar and salt. + +"Look, I made a cake!" Lily said, showing Ben a bowl of white and brown goo. "Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben said, licking his lips. He took a big spoon and scooped some goo into his mouth. "Mmm, this is good!" + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was Mom, coming home from work. She opened the door and saw the mess in the kitchen. She saw flour on the floor, sugar on the table, and salt on the chairs. She saw Lily and Ben with goo on their faces and hands. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked, sounding angry. "You made a huge mess!" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt scared and sorry. They did not mean to make Mom mad. They just wanted to have fun. + +"We were playing chefs, Mom," Lily said in a small voice. "We made a cake for you." + +Mom looked at the bowl of goo. She did not think it looked like a cake. She thought it looked like a disaster. But she also saw that Lily and Ben were trying to be nice.

I have a secret plan!" He ran behind a tree and said, "Watch this!" He held something in his hand and threw it in the air. It made a loud noise and a lot of smoke. + +Sara coughed and covered her eyes. She could not see anything. She said, "What did you do, villain? Where are you?" She waited for the smoke to clear.
