I'm glad you appreciate them." + +The little girl thanked the light and smiled back. Then, she ran off to continue her wander. +Mama and Max were at the store.

The animals would stretch their legs, then the children and adults would all do a big stretch. The people in the village loved to stretch together! + +One day, a new family moved to the village.

She thought carefully about the tunnel and soon came up with a plan. She told Lacy not to go down the tunnel and to only joke around outside.

Go pick one of those!" + +Jack brightened up and ran towards the other side of the apple tree where he saw red apples that looked delicious. But before he could take another step, Jack heard a snap. He looked up and saw the pale apple he was about to pluck had fallen down and had split in two. + +Jack saw a worm squirming in the center of the pale apple and the bad smell made him cover his nose. + +Grandpa had been right!

He bent down to see it better and noticed that some small bugs were struggling to get out. + +He excitedly called his mom over. “Mommy, look! The bugs are stuck in the puddle.

She had observed well and was rewarded with a friendship. +One day, John and his mom went to the store to buy a mixer.John was very excited because he wanted to make a cake for his friend's birthday. + +When they got home, John quickly took the mixer out of the bag and plugged it in.He turned it on but the mixer was too powerful and it blew up. + +John looked at his mom and said,"I forgot to be careful!" + +"That's okay, John," said his mom. We can get another one. + +John cheered up and they went back to the store, but it was closed. It was really cold outside and John began to shiver. + +His mom said,"We can come back tomorrow." + +John was sad and he said,"I won't be able to make the cake. My friend's birthday will be over by then!" + +John and his mom never did get another mixer. His friend never got a special birthday cake. +Once upon a time there was a tree. It was a big and strong tree but one day it started to rain and the tree got very wet. The tree was so wet, it lost its leaves. All the leaves fell off and blew away in the wind. + +The tree felt very sad, but it was grateful for the rain because it made the ground very wet and it could not be thirsty anymore. The tree also had a lot of new friends in the form of little animals and birds that started to live in it. + +One morning, a little girl came to the tree. She was out looking for her lost ball. The tree was very kind and it bent its branches to help the little girl find her ball. When she finally found it, the little girl was very grateful. She smiled at the tree and thanked it for helping her find her lost ball. + +The little girl and the tree became best friends. They would meet regularly in the park and the tree would share stories and secrets with the girl. They would also play together and the tree would give her a big, leafy hug every time she visited. The tree was very happy and glad to have made a friend. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy. His name was Timmy. He was very curious and was always looking for new adventures. One day when he went outside, he saw a bicycle and he was so excited! He wanted to grab it and go for a ride. + +Timmy's mom saw him and said, "No Timmy, that's not yours. You can't grab it!" + +Timmy begged and pleaded with his mom. "Please mom! Just let me grab it and take it for a quick ride!" + +His mom thought for a minute and finally said, "OK, but you have to put it back all tidy when you're done. Can you do that?" + +"Yes mommy!" Timmy said. He was so happy. + +He grabbed the bicycle from the sidewalk and quickly hopped on. He rode around the neighbourhood for a few minutes, making sure the bicycle was all tidy before he put it back in the same spot where he found it. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little bee who loved to carry things around. Everywhere she went, she made sure she had something to carry. + +One day, she found a hive. "This is a good hive," she thought. "It will be perfect to carry around." So, she put her tiny wings to work and started to carry the hive. + +On her way, she met another bee. "What do you have there?" the bee asked. + +"I found this hive and I am carrying it around," replied the little bee. + +"That is a good hive," the other bee said. "You should make sure you carry it with care." + +So, the little bee made sure that she took extra care every time she carried the hive. And the little bee lived happily ever after! +One day, Daisy was walking in the park with her mom. She saw a big, yellow flower and ran over to it excitedly. "Mommy, look! It's beautiful!" + +Her mom smiled. "Oh, that flower is blooming. It has lots of pretty petals and little yellow dots." + +Daisy was so amazed, she started skipping around it. She reached out and touched one of the petals. "Can I pick it, Mommy?" + +Her mom gave her a playful smile. "No, honey, it belongs to the garden. Let it stay here, so others can enjoy it too." + +The next day, Daisy and her mom went to the airport. Daisy was so excited to go on her first airplane ride. Her mom pulled a big, red luggage out of the car and Daisy laughed. "Mommy, you look like a turtle with a big shell on your back!" + +Her mom smiled. "Let's go to the gate. We have to check this luggage." + +They went to the gate and Daisy waved goodbye to the flowers in the garden. She was so happy she got to see them bloom. +One day, Jack asked his mom for a rag. His mom found one in the closet and gave it to him. Jack was so excited! He took the rag and headed outside to the garden. + +He found some sticks and some stones in the garden and he put the rag down on the ground. Then, he started to build a tower with the sticks and the stones. He used the rag to clean up the mess in between the sticks and the stones. + +Jack's mom saw he was working so hard and wanted to help. She came with some more sticks to Jack. He was so happy! Now, he could build his tower even higher. + +"Mom, you are so helpful," said Jack. + +"Yes, sweetheart," said Jack's mom. "Now, let's build the best tower ever!" +Max was an ambitious three year old. He wanted to learn how to sew, even though he was quite young. He asked his mom if he could use her sewing machine, but she said no. Max frowned and begged her to let him try. + +Finally, Max's mom agreed, but only if he promised to be careful. She gave Max some thread and showed him how to use the machine. + +Max was so excited. He did a good job starting the thread, but then something went wrong. The machine started to make noises, and it scrunched up the fabric like a ball. + +Max's mom noticed the mess and frowned. She looked disappointed and said, “Max, this looks like a mess. You’re going to have to clean it up and try again.†+ +Max was ashamed. He was embarrassed at making a mistake and now he had to start over. But he gathered his courage and began again. This time, it worked! + +Max was so proud of himself. He looked up at his mom who had a big smile on her face. Max was proud that he had achieved something despite his age. +Once upon a time, there was a baby elephant who lived in the jungle. He was very young and fragile. Everyday, he would go on adventures with his friends, searching for new and exciting places to explore. + +One day, they found themselves in front of a new and mysterious cave. They were feeling brave, so they decided to enter. But as soon as they did, they heard a rumbling and a screeching. Suddenly, a large and ferocious lion appeared in front of them. + +The elephant was scared and his heart was beating fast. He knew the lion could hurt him and his friends. + +The baby elephant turned to his friends and said, "We must not be scared. We must behave and be very careful if we want to make it out alive." + +The friends followed his instructions and managed to escape the jungle. From then on, the baby elephant was known for being wise and brave. +Once upon a time, there was a very wealthy mouse who lived deep within the forest. He was the richest of all the animals and he loved to show off his wealth to the other creatures. One day he decided to go for a walk and tell the others about his riches. + +As he was walking around, he heard another mouse in need. The mouse was asking for help because he was very hungry and had no food. The wealthy mouse just scoffed and said, "You should work harder and be more like me!" + +The other mouse was so frustrated that he could not help himself that he had a strong urge to do something. He dropped a rock onto the wealthy mouse and the wealthy mouse died. + +The other animals in the forest were horrified and felt very sad. They all agreed that no one should be so proud of their riches that they forget about the others in need. They learned an important lesson about not judging others and to think of the needs of others. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They learned about the weather from their mom and dad. They knew that sunny days were good for running and jumping, and rainy days were good for splashing and making mud pies. + +One day, they woke up and saw that the sky was gray and cloudy. They asked their mom if they could go outside. + +"Sorry, my loves, but it is going to storm soon. You have to stay inside today," their mom said. + +Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They did not want to stay inside. They wanted to play outside. They started to cry and whine. + +"Mom, that is not fair! We want to go outside! We don't like the storm!" they said. + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I know, my loves, but the storm can be dangerous. It can make loud noises and flash lights. It can make the wind blow hard and the trees fall down. It can make the water flood and the roads slippery. We have to be safe and stay inside." + +Ben and Lily did not understand. They thought the storm was fun and exciting. They did not think it was dangerous. They thought their mom was mean and boring. They decided to sneak outside when their mom was not looking. + +They put on their boots and coats and ran outside. They felt the raindrops on their faces and the wind in their hair. They laughed and shouted. + +"Look, Lily, the storm is here! It is not scary, it is fun!" Ben said. + +"Let's make mud pies and splash in the puddles, Ben!" Lily said. + +They played outside for a while, but soon they realized that the storm was not fun. It was scary. The raindrops became bigger and colder. The wind became stronger and louder. The noises and lights made them jump and cover their ears. The puddles became deeper and dirtier. The mud pies became soggy and messy. + +They started to feel wet and cold and tired. They wanted to go back inside. They wanted to see their mom. They wanted to be warm and dry and cozy. + +"Ben, I don't like the storm anymore. It is too much. Can we go inside, please?" Lily said. + +"Me too, Lily. I don't like the storm anymore. It is too hard. Let's go inside, please," Ben said. + +They ran back to the house, but they could not find the door. The storm had made the house look different. They could not see the windows or the porch or the mailbox. They could only see the gray and the rain and the wind. They were lost and scared and sorry. + +They cried and called for their mom. They hoped she would hear them and find them. They learned that the storm was not a game. They learned that their mom was right. They learned that they should have listened to her. They learned that they loved her. +Lila and Tom were playing outside. They liked to look at the clouds and sort them by shape. Lila saw a cloud that looked like a bunny. Tom saw a cloud that looked like a car. They pointed and laughed. + +But then the wind blew hard and the clouds moved fast. The bunny cloud and the car cloud mixed with other clouds. Lila and Tom could not sort them anymore. They felt helpless. They wanted the clouds to stay still. + +They ran to their mom and asked her to help. Mom smiled and hugged them. She said the clouds were not lost. They were just changing. She said they could make up new shapes with the new clouds. She said it was fun to use their imagination. + +Lila and Tom looked up again. They saw a cloud that looked like a dragon. They saw a cloud that looked like a flower. They saw a cloud that looked like a star. They felt happy. They thanked their mom and went back to play. They sorted the clouds by color. They had fun. +Sara likes to play with yarn. She has many colors of yarn in her box. She makes hats and scarves and dolls with yarn. She is very good at it. + +One day, Sara wants to play with her friend Lily. She calls Lily on the phone. "Hi, Lily. Do you want to play with me?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, Sara. I want to play with you. What do you want to play?" Lily says. + +"I want to play with yarn. I have a new color. It is pink and shiny. Do you like it?" Sara says. + +Lily likes pink and shiny things. She says, "Yes, I like it. Can I see it?" + +Sara says, "Sure. Come to my house. I will show you." + +Lily comes to Sara's house. Sara shows her the pink and shiny yarn. Lily likes it very much. She says, "Wow, Sara. This is a beautiful yarn. Can I have some?" + +Sara says, "No, Lily. This is my yarn. I want to make something with it. You can use the other colors." + +Lily is sad and angry. She says, "That is not fair, Sara. You have so much yarn. You should share with me. You are not a good friend." + +Sara is hurt and confused. She says, "But Lily, I share with you all the time. You can use any color you want. Just not this one. This is my special yarn. Please be polite." + +Lily does not listen. She grabs the pink and shiny yarn from Sara. She says, "No, Sara. I want this yarn. It is mine now." + +Sara and Lily start to pull the yarn. The yarn breaks. The yarn is ruined. Sara and Lily both cry. They are not happy. They are not friends anymore. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big spider on a web. Tom wanted to poke it with a stick. Lily said, "No, stop! That is mean. The spider is not hurting you. It is just hungry and wants to catch flies." + +Tom did not listen. He said, "I don't care. I don't like spiders. They are scary and ugly. I want to make it go away." He moved the stick closer to the spider. The spider saw the stick and got angry. It jumped off the web and landed on Tom's hand. Tom screamed and dropped the stick. He ran to his mom and cried. + +Lily followed him and said, "I told you to stop. You should be nice to animals. They have feelings too. Maybe the spider was scared of you. You should say sorry to the spider and leave it alone." + +Tom felt bad. He said, "You are right, Lily. I was mean and silly. I don't want to hurt the spider. I want to be its friend. I will say sorry to the spider and give it some flies to eat." + +Tom and Lily went back to the garden. They found the spider on its web. Tom said, "I'm sorry, spider. I won't poke you again. Here are some flies for you. I hope you are not hungry anymore." The spider waved its legs and seemed happy. Tom and Lily smiled and went to play with their ball. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind to animals and respect their lives. They are not toys to play with. They have feelings and needs too. You can make friends with them if you are gentle and caring. +Sam and Mia were excited to see the fireworks. They put on their warm coats and hats and went outside with Mom and Dad. They saw many people and cars on the street. They heard loud noises and saw bright colors in the sky. + +"Wow, look at that one!" Sam said, pointing at a big orange firework that exploded like a flower. + +"I like that one too!" Mia said, clapping her hands. + +They walked to the park, where there was a big field and a stage. They found a spot on the grass and sat down. Mom gave them some snacks and juice. Dad took out a small flashlight and a toy. + +"Look what I have, kids," he said, turning on the flashlight and shaking the toy. "It's a firework spinner. It makes pretty patterns when you shake it." + +"Can I try it, Dad?" Sam asked, reaching for the toy. + +"Me too, me too!" Mia said, also wanting the toy. + +"Sure, you can take turns," Dad said, handing the toy to Sam. "But be careful, don't shake it too hard or it might break." + +Sam took the toy and shook it gently. He saw red and blue and green lights spinning around. He smiled and showed it to Mia. + +"Look, Mia, it's like a mini firework!" he said. + +Mia nodded and smiled. She waited for her turn. But Sam did not give her the toy. He kept shaking it and looking at it. + +"Mia's turn, Sam," Mom said. "You have to share." + +Sam ignored Mom. He shook the toy harder and faster. He wanted to see more colors and patterns. + +"Sam, stop it, you're shaking it too hard!" Dad said. "You'll break it!" + +But it was too late. The toy made a loud crack and stopped working. The lights went out. Sam looked at the broken toy and felt sad. He had ruined it. + +He gave the toy to Mia and said, "Sorry, Mia. I broke it." + +Mia took the toy and looked at it. She felt angry. She had not had a chance to play with it. + +She threw the toy on the ground and said, "Bad Sam! You're mean!" + +She started to cry. Sam started to cry too. Mom and Dad tried to calm them down. + +"Shh, shh, it's okay, kids," Mom said, hugging them. "It was an accident. Sam didn't mean to break it." + +"Dad will fix it later, okay?" Dad said, picking up the toy. "Let's watch the fireworks now. They're beautiful." + +They looked up at the sky and saw more fireworks. They saw orange and yellow and purple and pink. They heard oohs and aahs from the crowd. They felt the warmt +Lily liked to draw with pastels. She had many colors and shapes to make pretty pictures. She wanted to show her mom and dad what she could do. She asked them to provide her with some paper and a place to draw. + +"Sure, honey, you can draw on the table," mom said. "But be careful not to make a mess. Use a mat under your paper and don't press too hard." + +"Okay, mom, I will be careful," Lily said. She was happy and started to draw a rainbow and a sun and a flower. + +But then her brother Ben came. He was bored and wanted to play with Lily. He saw her pastels and grabbed one. He tried to draw on her paper, but he pressed too hard and broke the pastel. + +"Hey, stop it!" Lily shouted. "That's mine! You are ruining my picture!" + +"No, I want to draw too!" Ben said. "You have too many pastels! Share with me!" + +They started to fight over the pastels. They pulled and pushed and yelled. They did not listen to mom and dad, who told them to stop and be nice. They made a big mess on the table and on the floor and on themselves. + +Mom and dad were very angry. They took away the pastels and the paper. They scolded Lily and Ben for being naughty and selfish. They sent them to their rooms without any dessert. + +Lily and Ben were very sad. They had no pastels, no paper, no picture, and no dessert. They wished they had been more careful and more kind. They learned that drawing with pastels was not easy, but hard. +Lily was sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. Mommy gave her some juice and a pill. She said, "You need to rest, Lily. I will check your temperature with the thermometer." + +Lily did not like the thermometer. It was cold and hard. It beeped in her ear. She tried to pull it out, but Mommy held her hand. "No, Lily, you have to wait. The thermometer will tell us if you have a fever." + +Lily was scared. She did not want to have a fever. She did not want to go to the doctor. She did not want to get a shot. She cried and kicked. "I don't want the thermometer! I don't want the thermometer!" + +Mommy hugged her and said, "Shh, Lily, it's okay. The thermometer is almost done. It will help us make you feel better. You are safe with me, Lily. I love you." + +The thermometer beeped again. Mommy looked at it and smiled. "Good news, Lily. You don't have a fever. You just have a cold. You will be fine soon. You are a brave girl, Lily." + +Lily felt a little better. She stopped crying and said, "I love you, Mommy. Thank you for the thermometer." She snuggled with Mommy and fell asleep. +Lily liked to polish her drum. She had a red drum that made loud sounds when she hit it with her sticks. She got the drum for her birthday from her grandpa. He said it was a special drum that he used to play when he was a little boy. + +One day, Lily wanted to show her drum to her friend Max. She took it out of her closet and carried it to the living room. She was very careful, because the drum was fragile. It could break if she dropped it or hit it too hard. + +"Look, Max, this is my drum!" Lily said. "It is very shiny and pretty. Do you want to try it?" + +Max nodded. He liked drums too. He took one of the sticks from Lily and tapped the drum gently. It made a soft sound. He smiled and tapped it again. + +"Can I hit it harder?" Max asked. "I want to make a louder sound." + +Lily shook her head. "No, Max, you can't. The drum is fragile. If you hit it too hard, it will crack. Then it will not make any sound. And grandpa will be sad." + +Max frowned. He did not want to make Lily or her grandpa sad. But he also wanted to have fun with the drum. He looked at the drum and the stick. He had an idea. + +"Let's play a game," Max said. "We can take turns hitting the drum. But we have to count to three before we hit it. And we have to hit it softly. Like this: one, two, three, tap!" + +Lily liked the game. She agreed to play with Max. They took turns hitting the drum softly, counting to three each time. They had fun making different sounds and rhythms. They did not break the drum. They polished it with their hands after they played. They were good friends. +Ben and Mia were going to the zoo with their mom. They were very excited to see the animals, especially the elephants. They liked elephants because they were big and gray and had long noses. + +But when they got to the zoo, they saw a sign that said "Elephant Exhibit Closed". Mom said there was a delay because the elephants were getting a new home. Ben and Mia felt sad and angry. They wanted to see the elephants now! + +"Mom, why can't we see the elephants?" Ben asked. + +"Mom, when will the delay be over?" Mia asked. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. The delay is for the elephants' good. They need a bigger and better home where they can be happy and healthy. Maybe we can come back another day and see them." + +Ben and Mia looked at each other. They still wanted to see the elephants, but they also wanted them to be happy and healthy. They decided to be patient and wait for the delay to be over. + +"Okay, Mom. We understand. Can we see the other animals then?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, my loves. Let's go and see what else the zoo has to offer. Maybe we can find some warm and fuzzy animals to pet and feed." Mom said. + +Ben and Mia smiled and followed Mom to the other exhibits. They saw lions and tigers and bears and monkeys and giraffes and penguins and many more. They had fun petting and feeding some of the animals and learning new things about them. They forgot about the delay and enjoyed their zoo day. They hoped the elephants would enjoy their new home too. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make snowmen and snowballs and snow forts. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big billboard on the road. It has a picture of a hot chocolate and a cookie. It says: "Warm up with a treat at Joe's Cafe". Ben and Lily want to go to Joe's Cafe. They are cold and hungry. + +They ask their mom if they can go. Their mom says: "Yes, but you have to use your coats and hats and gloves. It is very icy outside. Be careful." + +Ben and Lily use their coats and hats and gloves. They hold hands and walk to Joe's Cafe. They are careful not to slip on the ice. They see the billboard again. It makes them smile. + +They reach Joe's Cafe. They go inside. It is warm and cozy. They order hot chocolate and cookies. They say: "Thank you, Joe." Joe says: "You're welcome, Ben and Lily. Enjoy your treat." + +Ben and Lily enjoy their treat. They sip their hot chocolate and nibble their cookies. They feel happy and warm. They look at each other and say: "This is the best day ever." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play at the gym. The gym has many toys and mats and balls. Tom and Mia have fun at the gym. + +One day, Tom sees a tall ladder at the gym. He thinks it looks fun. He wants to climb the ladder. He says to Mia, "Look, Mia, a tall ladder! Let's climb it!" + +Mia shakes her head. She thinks the ladder is too high. She says to Tom, "No, Tom, the ladder is too high. It is not safe. We can play with other toys." + +But Tom does not listen. He runs to the ladder. He starts to climb. He thinks he is brave. He thinks he can reach the top. + +Mia watches Tom. She is scared. She says to Tom, "Tom, stop! Come down! You can fall!" + +But Tom does not hear. He climbs higher and higher. He is almost at the top. He smiles. He thinks he is the best. + +But then, he slips. He loses his grip. He falls. He falls hard. He hits the floor. He cries. He hurts. He is not brave. He is not the best. He is silly. + +Mia runs to Tom. She tries to help him. She calls for help. She is sad. She is not scared. She is smart. + +The end. +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They saw a big pile of lumber near the fence. Lily wanted to build a fort with the lumber. Max wanted to make a train. + +"Let's build a fort!" Lily said. "We can hide from the monsters and have fun." + +"No, let's make a train!" Max said. "We can go to the zoo and see the animals." + +They both pulled on the lumber, but it was too heavy. They could not move it. + +"Maybe we can share the lumber," Lily said. "We can build a fort and a train together." + +Max shook his head. He did not want to share. He wanted to have the lumber all to himself. + +"That's crazy!" he said. "A fort and a train don't go together. That's silly." + +Lily shrugged. She did not think it was crazy. She thought it was a good idea. She did not want to fight with Max. + +"Okay, then," she said. "You can have the lumber. I will find something else to play with." + +She walked away from the pile of lumber. She saw a big cardboard box near the trash can. She smiled. She had an idea. + +She dragged the box to the middle of the backyard. She turned it upside down. She cut a door and a window with scissors. She drew some flowers and stars with crayons. She made a sign that said "Lily's House". + +She crawled inside the box. She felt happy. She had her own fort. + +She looked out the window. She saw Max sitting on the lumber. He looked bored. He had no one to play with. + +"Hey, Max," she called. "Do you want to come to my house? We can have a tea party and play with my dolls." + +Max looked at the box. He looked at the lumber. He looked at Lily. + +He smiled. He had an idea. + +He jumped off the lumber. He ran to the box. He knocked on the door. + +"Can I come in?" he asked. + +"Sure," Lily said. "But you have to say the magic word." + +"What's the magic word?" Max asked. + +"Please," Lily said. + +"Please," Max said. + +Lily opened the door. She let Max in. They had a tea party and played with the dolls. They had fun. + +They forgot about the lumber. They did not need it. They had each other. +Anna and Ben liked to play near the old mill. It was big and had many things to see. But they never went inside. Mama said it was not safe. + +One day, they saw a cat run into the mill. It was black and white and had a bell on its neck. Anna and Ben wanted to pet the cat. They followed it into the mill. + +The mill was dark and dusty. There were many machines and wheels and pipes. They made loud noises. Anna and Ben were frightened. They could not see the cat. They could only hear its bell. + +"Where are you, kitty?" Anna called. "Come out, please!" + +Ben tried to search for the cat. He walked around the machines. He saw a hole in the wall. He thought the cat might be there. He went closer. + +Suddenly, he heard a growl. It was not the cat. It was a big dog. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It jumped out of the hole. It barked at Ben. + +Ben screamed. He ran back to Anna. The dog chased him. Anna and Ben ran out of the mill. They did not stop until they reached their home. + +They told Mama what happened. Mama hugged them and said they were brave. She said they should never go into the mill again. She said the dog was guarding the mill. She said the cat was probably fine. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They were glad they were safe. They did not want to see the dog or the mill again. They only wanted to see the cat. They hoped it would come out and play with them someday. +Lily was sad. She had a bad dream and woke up crying. She wanted her mom and dad to comfort her, but they were not in their room. She looked around and saw a light in the kitchen. She got out of bed and walked to the kitchen. She saw her mom and dad sitting at the table, eating some treats. + +"Mommy, Daddy, I had a bad dream," Lily said, rubbing her eyes. + +"Oh, sweetie, we're sorry. Come here, we'll hug you tight and make you feel better," Mommy said, opening her arms. + +Lily ran to her mom and dad and snuggled between them. They hugged her tight and kissed her head. They told her they loved her and that bad dreams were not real. They asked her if she wanted a treat too. + +"Yes, please. Can I have a cookie?" Lily asked, smiling a little. + +"Of course, you can. Here you go, one cookie for our brave girl," Daddy said, handing her a cookie. + +Lily took a bite and felt the chocolate melt in her mouth. She felt warm and happy. She thanked her mom and dad for the treat and the comfort. They told her they were proud of her and that it was time to go back to bed. They carried her to her room and tucked her in. They sang her a lullaby and kissed her goodnight. Lily closed her eyes and fell asleep, dreaming of cookies and hugs. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play games. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They opened it and saw many shiny things inside. They were medals and trophies that their dad had won when he was young. He was very good at sports and music. + +"Wow, look at these!" Tim said. He picked up a gold medal and put it around his neck. "I am the best runner in the world!" + +"No, you are not!" Sam said. He grabbed a silver trophy and held it up. "I am the best singer in the world!" + +They started to argue and fight over the shiny things. They did not see their dad coming into the garage. He was not happy to see them messing with his things. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" he asked in a loud voice. He took the medal and the trophy from them and put them back in the box. "These are not toys. These are my prizes. I worked hard to get them. You have to earn them, not just take them." + +Tim and Sam felt ashamed. They blinked their eyes and looked down. They did not want to make their dad angry. + +"I'm sorry, dad," Tim said. + +"Me too, dad," Sam said. + +Their dad sighed and hugged them. He was not really angry, just disappointed. + +"It's okay, boys," he said. "I know you were just curious. But you have to respect other people's things. And you have to respect yourselves. You don't need these shiny things to be the best. You just need to do your best. And I will always be proud of you, no matter what." + +He smiled and kissed them on their heads. He took them inside and gave them some cookies and milk. They were sweet, not bitter. Tim and Sam felt better. They learned a lesson that day. They decided to play nice and not judge each other by their shiny things. They loved their dad and each other. And they knew their dad loved them too. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a race to see who is faster. Tom runs very fast. Sam runs fast too, but not as fast as Tom. Tom wins the race. He is happy. He says, "I am the best!" + +Sam is sad. He says, "No, you are not the best. You are mean. You always win. I want to win too." He is angry. He throws a stick at Tom. Tom dodges the stick. He says, "Don't be a baby. It is just a game. You can win next time." + +Sam says, "No, I can't. You are too fast. I don't want to play with you anymore." He runs away. Tom is confused. He says, "Sam, wait. Come back. I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I still want to be your friend." + +But Sam does not hear him. He runs to his home. He sees his dad. His dad has a surprise for him. He says, "Sam, look what I have. I have a firework. Do you want to see it?" Sam says, "Yes, please. I love fireworks. They are bright and loud and pretty." + +His dad says, "OK, let's go outside. But be careful. Fireworks are dangerous. You have to stay away from them. Only I can light them." He takes Sam outside. He puts the firework on the ground. He lights it with a match. He says, "Watch this." + +The firework makes a hissing sound. It shoots up in the air. It goes very high. It explodes with a bang. It makes a lot of colors. It makes a star shape. Sam is amazed. He says, "Wow! That is the best firework ever. Thank you, dad. You are the best!" + +Tom sees the firework from the park. He says, "Wow! That is a cool firework. I wonder who has it. Maybe it is Sam. I wish I could see it with him. I miss him. I hope he is not mad at me anymore. I want to say sorry to him. I want to be his friend again." He runs to Sam's home. He knocks on the door. He says, "Sam, are you there? Can we talk?" +Tommy loves his kitten, Fluffy. Fluffy is soft and warm and likes to play with Tommy. Sometimes, Fluffy chases a ball or a string. Sometimes, Fluffy sleeps on Tommy's bed or lap. + +One day, Tommy's mom makes a big cake for Tommy's birthday. She puts the cake on the table and tells Tommy to wait until the guests come. Tommy nods and goes to find Fluffy. He wants to show Fluffy his cake. + +But when Tommy comes back to the table, he sees Fluffy on the cake. Fluffy is eating the cake with his tongue. Tommy is shocked and angry. He shouts at Fluffy. + +"Fluffy, no! Bad kitten! That is my cake! You are not polite!" + +Fluffy looks at Tommy with his big eyes. He meows and jumps off the cake. He runs away to hide under the sofa. Tommy sees the cake is ruined. He starts to cry. + +Tommy's mom hears the noise and comes to the table. She sees the cake and Fluffy. She hugs Tommy and says. + +"I'm sorry, Tommy. Fluffy did not know. He was hungry and curious. He did not mean to be rude. We can make another cake. Don't be sad." + +Tommy sniffles and wipes his tears. He looks at Fluffy under the sofa. He feels sorry for Fluffy. He says. + +"OK, mom. I forgive Fluffy. He is still my kitten. But he needs to learn to be polite. Can we give him some fish instead of cake?" + +Tommy's mom smiles and nods. She says. + +"Of course, Tommy. That is very kind of you. Fluffy will like that. And you can still have a happy birthday with your friends." + +Tommy smiles and goes to get Fluffy. He pets Fluffy and says. + +"Fluffy, I love you. But please don't eat my cake again. You can have fish. Fish is good for you. And you can play with me later. OK?" + +Fluffy purrs and rubs his head against Tommy. He says. + +"Meow. Meow. Meow." + +Tommy and Fluffy are friends again. They are happy. They are polite. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. They had a ball that they threw to each other. One day, the ball went over the fence to the big house. Lily and Tom wanted to get their ball back, but they were afraid of the big house. They heard that a mean old man lived there, who did not like children. + +"Maybe we can pull the fence and make a hole," Tom said. "Then we can sneak in and get our ball." + +Lily was not sure. She thought that was not nice. "What if the old man sees us?" she asked. "He might get angry and yell at us." + +Tom said he did not care. He wanted his ball. He pulled the fence hard, and made a small hole. He told Lily to follow him. Lily was scared, but she did not want to lose Tom. She followed him through the hole. + +They ran across the yard, looking for their ball. They did not see the old man, who was sitting on his porch. He saw them, and he was not happy. He was not mean, but he was lonely and sad. He wished the children would talk to him, and be his friends. He was compassionate, but he did not know how to show it. + +He got up and walked towards them. He wanted to say hello, and ask them to play with him. But he did not smile, and he did not use kind words. He shouted, "Hey, you! What are you doing in my yard? Get out of here, or I'll call the police!" + +Lily and Tom heard him, and they were terrified. They thought he was going to hurt them. They dropped their ball, and ran back to the hole. They tried to squeeze through, but the hole was too small. They got stuck, and they could not move. They cried, and they called for help. + +The old man reached them, and he saw them in the hole. He felt sorry for them, and he wanted to help them. But he did not know how to do it. He pulled the fence, and made the hole bigger. But he pulled too hard, and the fence broke. It fell on top of Lily and Tom, and crushed them. They died, and they did not play anymore. The old man was alone, and he was sorry. He wished he had been nicer, and he had made friends. He cried, and he called for help. But no one came. He was alone, and he was sad. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a tall slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the slide. They climb the steps. They sit on the slide. They zip down the slide. They laugh and have fun. + +They go on the slide many times. They get tired. They sit on the grass. They look at the sky. They see the sun and the clouds. + +"I'm sleepy," Lily says. + +"Me too," Ben says. + +They lie on the grass. They close their eyes. They sleep. They dream of the slide. They are happy. +Sara was a wise girl who liked to help her mom. She helped her mom comb her long hair every morning. She liked to make her mom's hair look pretty and smooth. + +One day, Sara found a comb in the trash. It was old and dirty. It had some green stuff on it. Sara wondered why someone threw it away. + +She picked up the comb and ran to her mom. "Mom, look what I found!" she said. "Can I use this comb for your hair?" + +Her mom looked at the comb and made a face. "No, Sara, you can't use that comb. That comb is bad. It has rot on it. Rot is something that makes things sick and smelly. If you use that comb, you will make my hair sick and smelly too. You have to throw that comb away." + +Sara was sad. She liked the comb. She thought it was pretty. She didn't know what rot was. She asked her mom, "What is rot, mom? How does it make things sick and smelly?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Rot is something that happens when things are old and wet and not clean. It makes things change color and fall apart. It makes things smell bad. It can make you sick if you touch it or eat it. You have to be careful with rot. You have to use clean things for your hair and your body. That's why I gave you a new comb for your birthday. Do you remember your new comb?" + +Sara nodded. She remembered her new comb. It was pink and shiny. It had flowers on it. She liked her new comb. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know about rot. I won't use the old comb. I will use my new comb. Can I comb your hair now?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, Sara, you can comb my hair now. You are a wise girl. You learn new things every day. I love you, Sara." + +Sara smiled and said, "I love you too, mom." She threw the old comb in the trash. She took her new comb and combed her mom's hair. She made her mom's hair look pretty and smooth. She was happy. +Lily liked to play with her mom's jewelry. She liked the shiny rings and necklaces and earrings. She liked to pretend she was a princess or a fairy. But she knew she had to be careful. Some of the jewelry was sharp and could hurt her. + +One day, she saw a new bracelet on her mom's dresser. It was silver and had many little stars on it. Lily thought it was very pretty. She wanted to try it on. She reached for it, but her mom saw her. + +"Lily, stop!" her mom said. "That bracelet is not for you. It is very sharp and could cut your skin. It is also very special. It was a gift from your grandma. She was a very modest and kind lady. She gave it to me before she went to heaven. I miss her very much." + +Lily felt sorry for her mom. She did not want to make her sad or angry. She also did not want to hurt herself. She let go of the bracelet and hugged her mom. + +"I'm sorry, mom," she said. "I didn't know. It is a very beautiful bracelet. You look like a princess when you wear it. I love you and grandma." + +"I love you too, Lily," her mom said. "Thank you for being so sweet and understanding. You can play with some of my other jewelry, but not this one. Maybe when you are older, I will let you wear it. But for now, let's put it away and find something else to do." +Lily was a humble girl who liked to help others. She always said please and thank you, and shared her toys with her friends. One day, she saw a boy crying on the playground. He had fallen and scraped his knee, and his bike was broken. + +Lily went to the boy and asked him what was wrong. He told her his name was Ben, and he was sad because his bike was his favorite thing. He said he had no one to play with, and he missed his mom. + +Lily felt sorry for Ben, and wanted to make him feel better. She gave him a hug, and told him she would be his friend. She said she had a band-aid in her backpack, and she could fix his bike with some tape. She also said she had a cookie she could share with him. + +Ben smiled and thanked Lily for being so kind. He said she was the nicest girl he ever met. He took the band-aid and the tape, and put them on his knee and his bike. He also took the cookie and broke it in half, and gave one piece to Lily. + +Lily and Ben ate the cookie and talked for a while. They found out they liked the same things, like animals and books and colors. They decided to play together on the swings and the slide. They had a lot of fun, and became good friends. + +When it was time to go home, Lily and Ben said goodbye and gave each other another hug. They promised to see each other again the next day. They were both happy and grateful for their new friendship. They learned that being humble and kind can make someone's day better. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play games. Today they play tag in the park. Sara runs fast and tags Tom. Tom laughs and runs after Sara. They have fun. + +But soon they are tired. They sit on the grass and drink water. They rest and breathe. Sara says, "This is a good game. I like to play with you, Tom." Tom says, "Me too, Sara. You are a good friend." + +They look at the sky and see the sun and the clouds. They see a bird and a butterfly. They hear a dog and a cat. They smile and feel happy. They are grateful for the game and the park and the animals. They are grateful for each other. They hug and say, "Thank you, friend." +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to be Santa and his helper. They put on red hats and coats and found a big sack of toys. They looked for a chimney to go down, but they could not find one in their house. + +"Maybe we can use the fireplace," Lily said. + +"But it is too small and hot," Ben said. + +"Then we can use the window," Lily said. + +"But it is too high and cold," Ben said. + +They thought hard, but they could not think of a good way to be Santa and his helper. They felt sad and sat on the couch. + +Then they heard a knock on the door. They opened it and saw a man with a big beard and a red suit. He had a sack of toys on his back and a smile on his face. + +"Hello, Ben and Lily," he said. "I heard you wanted to be Santa and his helper. Well, I have a surprise for you. Come with me." + +He took them outside and showed them a big sleigh with eight reindeer. He helped them climb on the sleigh and gave them each a toy. + +"This is my special sleigh," he said. "It can fly in the sky and go down any chimney. Do you want to help me deliver the toys to the other children?" + +Ben and Lily nodded eagerly. They could not believe their eyes. They had never seen such an unusual sleigh before. They hugged the man and thanked him. + +He winked at them and said, "Ho ho ho, you're welcome. Now, let's go. We have a lot of work to do." + +He snapped his fingers and the sleigh took off. Ben and Lily laughed and cheered as they flew in the air. They had the best time of their lives being Santa and his helper. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But Sara is tidy and Ben is messy. Sara puts her toys in the chest when she is done. Ben leaves his toys on the floor. + +One day, Sara is angry at Ben. She says, "Ben, you are messy. You make our room dirty. You need to put your toys in the chest like me." Ben says, "No, I don't. I like my toys on the floor. I can find them easily. You are bossy. You need to let me play how I want." + +They start to argue. They shout and push each other. They knock over the chest. The toys spill out. They make a big mess. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Sara and Ben, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why are you making a mess? You need to clean up your room and say sorry to each other." + +Sara and Ben feel bad. They know they were wrong. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They hug and make up. They help each other to clean up their room. They put their toys in the chest. They support each other to be tidy. Mom is proud of them. She says, "Good job, Sara and Ben. You are good twins. You are good helpers. You are good friends." She gives them a kiss and a hug. They smile and say, "We love you, Mom." +Ben and Lily are playing with their toy cars on the floor. They have a network of roads and bridges made of blocks and cardboard. They zoom their cars around and make noises. + +"Look, my car is very fast and smooth!" Ben says, showing Lily his red car. "It can go over any bump or hill." + +"My car is faster and smoother!" Lily says, holding her blue car. "It can go under any bridge or tunnel." + +They start to race their cars on the network. They laugh and cheer as they see who can reach the end first. + +Suddenly, the lights go out. The room becomes dark and quiet. Ben and Lily stop playing and look around. They feel scared. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" they cry. "Where are you?" + +They hear footsteps and voices coming from the hallway. They see a flashlight shining through the door. + +"Ben, Lily, are you okay?" Mommy says, opening the door. "Don't worry, it's just a power outage. The electricity will come back soon." + +She hugs them and gives them the flashlight. Daddy comes in too and smiles. + +"Sorry, kids, we were in the kitchen when the lights went out. We came as fast as we could," he says. "Do you want to play a game while we wait?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They feel better now that Mommy and Daddy are with them. + +"Okay, let's play 'I spy'," Mommy says. "I spy with my little eye something that is red and smooth and can blink." + +Ben and Lily look around the room. They see their toy cars, their books, their pillows, and their stuffed animals. + +"Is it your car, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"No, it's not my car," Ben says. + +"Is it your nose, Mommy?" Lily asks. + +"No, it's not my nose," Mommy says. + +"Is it your eyes, Daddy?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, it is my eyes!" Daddy says. "You got it, Ben. Good job!" + +He blinks his eyes and makes them laugh. They take turns playing 'I spy' until the lights come back on. They are happy and cozy in their room. They love their network of roads and bridges, but they love their family more. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big black kite in the sky. It has a long tail and a bright star on it. + +"Wow, look at the kite!" Anna says. "It is so high and pretty!" + +"I want to fly a kite too!" Ben says. "Can we, can we?" + +Anna nods. She has a kite in her backpack. It is red and yellow and green. She takes it out and gives it to Ben. Ben holds the kite and runs. Anna holds the string and follows him. + +The wind is strong. It makes the kite go up and up. Ben laughs and runs faster. Anna stretches the string more and more. She feels the kite pull and tug. + +"Be careful, Ben!" Anna says. "Don't let go of the kite!" + +But Ben is too excited. He trips on a rock and falls. The kite slips from his hand and flies away. Anna tries to catch the string, but it is too late. The kite is gone. + +"Ben, no!" Anna cries. "You lost the kite!" + +Ben gets up and rubs his knee. He is sad and sorry. He looks at Anna and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to lose the kite. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna is sad too, but she loves Ben. She hugs him and says, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. The kite was just a thing. You are my friend. Friends are more important than things." + +They hug and smile. They still have each other. They go back to playing in the park. They don't need a kite to have fun. They have the wind and the sun and their imagination. +Tom and Lily liked to play catch with their ball. They always wore helmets to be safe. One day, they saw a big truck with a funny picture on it. It was a circus truck. It had a lion, a clown, and a man on a bike. + +"Look, Tom, a circus!" Lily said. "Can we go and see it?" + +"Maybe later," Tom said. "Let's play catch first." + +They threw the ball to each other. They had fun. But they did not see the man on the bike. He was riding out of the truck. He was wearing a helmet too. But his helmet was unusual. It had horns and feathers and bells. + +The man on the bike saw Tom and Lily. He smiled. He wanted to play with them. He rode towards them. He reached out his hand. He tried to catch the ball. + +But he missed. He lost his balance. He fell off his bike. His helmet flew off his head. It landed on Tom's head. + +Tom was surprised. He felt the horns and the feathers and the bells. He looked at the man on the bike. The man on the bike looked at him. They both laughed. + +Lily laughed too. She ran to Tom. She took off the helmet. She put it on her head. She liked it. She said, "This is a funny helmet. Can we keep it?" + +The man on the bike got up. He was not hurt. He was happy. He said, "Sure, you can keep it. It is a gift from the circus. Do you want to come and see the show?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They thanked the man on the bike. They followed him to the truck. They saw the lion and the clown. They were excited. They had a new helmet and a new friend. They had a lot of fun. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the slide and the swings. They had many cars of different colors and shapes. Some were made of metal and some were made of plastic. + +One day, a big dog came running into the park. It saw the toy cars and thought they were fun to chase and bite. It barked and ran towards Lila and Tom, who got scared and ran away. The dog jumped on the slide and the swings, and scattered the toy cars all over the park. Some of the cars broke and some of the cars got lost. + +Lila and Tom hid behind a bench and cried. They loved their toy cars and did not want to lose them. They wished the dog would go away. + +"Hey, kids, are you okay?" a voice said. It was a man who worked in the park. He saw the dog and the toy cars and understood what happened. He had a leash and a whistle. He blew the whistle and called the dog. The dog stopped playing and came to the man. The man put the leash on the dog and said, "Sorry, kids, this is my dog. He is very friendly, but he does not know how to play with toy cars. He thinks they are bones. I will help you find your toy cars and fix them." + +Lila and Tom came out from behind the bench and looked at the man and the dog. They were still scared, but they were also glad that the man was nice and wanted to help them. They said, "Thank you, mister. We are Lila and Tom. We like our toy cars. Can we have them back?" + +The man smiled and said, "Of course, Lila and Tom. I am Ben. And this is Rex. He is sorry for making a mess. Let's go and look for your toy cars together. Maybe Rex can help us sniff them out." + +Lila and Tom nodded and followed Ben and Rex. They searched the park and found most of their toy cars. Some of them were still good and some of them were bent or scratched. Ben used his tools and his metal to fix some of the broken cars. He also gave Lila and Tom some new cars that he had in his truck. He said, "These are for you, Lila and Tom. As a gift from me and Rex. We hope you like them." + +Lila and Tom smiled and hugged Ben and Rex. They said, "Thank you, Ben and Rex. You are very kind. We like the new cars. They are very pretty and shiny. Can we play with you and Rex sometimes?" + +Ben and Rex smiled and nodded. They said, "Sure, Lila and Tom. We would love to play with you and your toy cars. Maybe Rex can learn how to play nicely with them. He likes to make new friends." + +Lila and Tom were happy. They had their toy cars back and they had new friends. They played with Ben and Rex until it was time to go home. They waved goodbye and said, "See you soon, Ben and Rex. We had fun today." + +The end. +Lily liked to learn new things. She liked to look at books and pictures and ask questions. She also liked to make things with her hands. She had a box of clay that she could shape and color. + +One day, she saw a model of a butterfly in her teacher's room. It was very pretty and delicate. It had many colors and patterns on its wings. Lily wanted to make a model of a butterfly too. + +She took some clay and rolled it into a ball. Then she flattened it and cut out two wings. She used a stick to make lines and dots on them. She made a small body and two antennae. She stuck them all together. She was very proud of her model. + +She showed it to her teacher. "Look, I made a butterfly!" she said. + +The teacher smiled. "That's very good, Lily. You are very creative. But you have to be careful with your model. It is very delicate. It can break easily." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She put her model in a safe place. She wanted to keep it for a long time. She learned how to make a model of a butterfly and how to take care of it. She was very happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers and the grass with the hose. They also liked to splash each other and laugh. + +But one day, they saw a woman walking on the sidewalk. She was carrying a big bag and looked very tired. She did not see the hose on the ground and tripped over it. She fell and got wet and dirty. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They ran to the woman and said, "We are sorry, we are sorry! Are you okay?" + +The woman was angry. She said, "No, I am not okay! You made me fall and ruin my clothes and my bag! You are very naughty and careless!" + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They wanted to help the woman. They said, "We can dry you with a towel. We can clean your bag. We can give you a hug. Please don't be mad at us." + +The woman looked at them. She saw that they were sorry and kind. She felt sorry too. She said, "Thank you, thank you. You are very sweet and alert. You know how to say sorry and how to make things better. I am not mad at you anymore." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They dried the woman with a towel. They cleaned her bag. They gave her a hug. The woman smiled too. She said, "You are very good and smart. You learned a lesson today. Always be careful and watch where you put things. And always be nice and helpful to others. That is how you make friends and be happy." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "We learned a lesson today. We will be careful and watch where we put things. And we will be nice and helpful to others. That is how we make friends and be happy." + +The woman waved goodbye and walked away. Lily and Tom waved back and went back to playing. They were careful and watchful. They were nice and helpful. They were happy and friendly. They had a good day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a cricket on a leaf. It was green and had long legs. + +"Look, a cricket!" Tom said. "It can jump very high." + +"Can I hold it?" Lily asked. She reached out her hand. + +"Be careful," Tom said. "Don't hurt it." + +Lily touched the cricket gently. It tickled her fingers. She smiled. The cricket jumped from her hand to the grass. + +"Bye, cricket!" Lily said. "Thank you for playing with us." + +Tom and Lily followed the cricket with their eyes. It hopped away. It found a wide hole in the fence. It went inside. + +"Where did it go?" Tom asked. + +"It left," Lily said. "It went to its home." + +"Maybe it has a family there," Tom said. + +"Maybe," Lily said. "Do you think it will come back?" + +"Maybe," Tom said. "We can look for it tomorrow." + +"Okay," Lily said. "Let's go inside now. It's getting dark." + +Tom and Lily ran to the house. They told their mom about the cricket. They had a lot of fun in the garden. They hoped to see the cricket again. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they see a big map on the wall. The map has many colors and shapes. + +"What is this?" Tom asks. + +"This is a map," Mia says. "It shows the world." + +"What is the world?" Tom questions. + +"The world is where we live. It has many places and people," Mia says. + +Tom points to a red shape on the map. "What is this?" he questions. + +"That is a nation," Mia says. "A nation is a big place with a name and a flag. This nation is called China." + +Tom points to a blue shape on the map. "What is this?" he questions. + +"That is another nation," Mia says. "This nation is called Canada." + +Tom and Mia look at the map. They see many nations. Some are big, some are small. Some are near, some are far. + +"Are all the nations happy?" Tom questions. + +Mia shakes her head. "No, not all. Some nations are sad. They have problems and fights. They need help and friends." + +Tom and Mia feel sad too. They wish all the nations could be happy. + +"Can we do something?" Tom questions. + +Mia thinks. She smiles. "Yes, we can. We can be kind and share. We can learn and listen. We can make the world a better place." + +Tom and Mia hug. They are happy. They are friends. They love the world. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the pool. They had many toys to splash and swim with, like balls, ducks and rings. One day, they saw a big frog sitting on a rock near the pool. The frog looked lazy and bored. + +"Hello, frog," Ben said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The frog did not answer. He only blinked his eyes and croaked. + +"Maybe he is shy," Lily said. "Or maybe he is hungry. Do you think he likes bugs?" + +Ben and Lily decided to discuss what to do. They thought of different ways to make the frog happy and join their fun. They could give him some of their toys, or find some bugs for him, or sing him a song. + +They agreed to try all of their ideas. They took turns to offer the frog a ball, a duck, a ring, a bug and a song. But the frog did not seem to care. He only blinked his eyes and croaked. + +Ben and Lily felt sad. They wanted to be friends with the frog, but he did not want to play with them. They wondered why he was so lazy and bored. + +"Maybe he is lonely," Ben said. "Maybe he needs another frog to talk to." + +"Maybe we can find him a friend," Lily said. "Maybe there is another frog in the pool." + +They looked around the pool, hoping to see another frog. But they did not see any. They only saw their toys, the water and the sun. + +They decided to give up on the frog. They went back to their own fun, splashing and swimming with their toys. They forgot about the frog, who still sat on the rock, blinking his eyes and croaking. +Jill liked to cook. She had a big pot and a spoon. She put water and salt and orange in the pot. She stirred and stirred. She wanted to make soup. + +Tom came to the kitchen. He saw Jill and the pot. He wanted to help. He said, "Can I cook with you?" + +Jill was bossy. She said, "No, this is my soup. You can't cook with me. Go away." + +Tom was sad. He said, "But I like soup. And I like orange. Please let me cook with you." + +Jill said, "No, no, no. You are too small. You don't know how to cook. You will make a mess. Go away." + +Tom was angry. He said, "Fine, I will go away. But I will take your soup with me." He grabbed the pot and ran. + +Jill screamed. She said, "Stop, stop, stop. Give me back my soup. That is mine." + +But Tom was too fast. He ran out of the kitchen and out of the house. He did not see the car. The car hit him and the pot. The soup spilled everywhere. Tom and the pot were broken. Jill and the car were sorry. +Lily and Ben are friends who like to play with toys. One day, Lily sees a new doll in the shop window. She wants the doll very much, but she has no money. She asks her mom if she can buy the doll, but her mom says no. She says they have to pay for food and clothes and other things first. + +Ben sees Lily looking at the doll. He has some money that he saved from his birthday. He likes Lily and wants to make her happy. He goes to the shop and buys the doll for her. He gives it to her and says, "This is for you, Lily. I hope you like it." + +Lily is very happy and hugs Ben. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. I love the doll. You are my best friend." She plays with the doll and Ben all day. + +Tom is another friend who likes to play with toys. He sees Lily and Ben playing with the doll. He feels envious. He wants the doll too, but he has no money. He thinks Ben is not fair. He says to himself, "Why does Ben get to buy the doll for Lily? He should share it with me. I deserve it more than Lily." + +Tom waits until Lily and Ben are not looking. He sneaks up and grabs the doll. He runs away with it. He thinks he is clever and happy. + +But Lily and Ben see him. They are very sad and angry. They chase after him and shout, "Tom, stop! That is not your doll. That is Lily's doll. Ben bought it for her. Give it back!" + +Tom does not listen. He keeps running. He thinks he can escape. But he does not see a big rock on the ground. He trips and falls. He drops the doll. The doll breaks. Tom hurts his knee. He cries. + +Lily and Ben catch up with him. They see the broken doll and the hurt knee. They feel sorry for Tom, but they also feel mad. They say, "Tom, why did you do that? That was very bad. You should not take things that are not yours. You should not be envious of others. You should be happy for your friends. You should say sorry." + +Tom realizes he was wrong. He feels ashamed and sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Ben. I was envious and selfish. I wanted the doll, but I did not think about your feelings. I broke the doll and hurt myself. I was not clever and happy. I was foolish and unhappy. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily and Ben are kind and forgiving. They say, "We forgive you, Tom. But you have to learn from your mistake. You have to be honest and generous. You have to respect and care for your friends. You have to be happy with what you have. That is how you can be a good friend and a good person." + +Tom nods and hugs them. He says, "Thank you, Lily. Thank you, Ben. You are good friends and good people. I will try to be like you. I will try to be a good friend and a good person too." + +The moral of the story is: Do not be envious of others. Be happy for your friends. Be honest and generous. Respect and care for your friends. Be happy with what you have. That is how you can be a good friend and a good person. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat steak for dinner. But Mom and Dad said no. They said steak was too expensive and hard to cook. They said they would make soup and salad instead. + +Lily and Ben did not like soup and salad. They wanted steak. They had a plan. They would send a letter to Santa and ask for steak. They wrote the letter and put it in the mailbox. They hoped Santa would read it and bring them steak. + +But Santa did not bring them steak. He brought them coal. He was angry. He said they were naughty and greedy. He said they should be happy with what they had and not ask for more. He said they should be kind and share with others. + +Lily and Ben were sad and ashamed. They cried and said sorry. They wished they had not sent the letter. They wished they had eaten the soup and salad. They learned their lesson. They learned that steak is not the most important thing in the world. They learned that being grateful and generous is better than being selfish and demanding. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But today, they are restless. They want to do something new and fun. + +"Let's spin!" Lila says. She grabs Ben's hand and pulls him to the middle of the room. They start to spin around and around, faster and faster. They feel dizzy and happy. + +"Stop!" Ben says. He lets go of Lila's hand and falls to the floor. He feels sick and tired. He does not like to spin so much. + +"No, let's spin more!" Lila says. She does not feel sick or tired. She likes to spin a lot. She tries to grab Ben's hand again, but he moves away. + +"Go away!" Ben says. He does not want to play with Lila anymore. He wants to rest on the couch. + +"Come on!" Lila says. She does not want to rest on the couch. She wants to play with Ben. She chases him around the room, trying to make him spin with her. + +They run and shout and bump into things. They make a big mess. They do not listen to their mom, who tells them to stop and be quiet. + +They are not happy. They are angry and sad. They do not know how to play together. They need to learn how to share and take turns. They need to say sorry and hug. They need to find a new game that they both like. They need to be kind and gentle. They need to be friends. +Tim and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Tim has a fake car that he pretends to drive around. Mia has a wet cloth that she uses to wipe the floor and the furniture. She likes to help her mom with the cleaning. + +"Beep beep! Move out of the way, Mia!" Tim says as he zooms his car near Mia. He does not see the wet cloth on the floor and he slips on it. He falls down and hurts his knee. He starts to cry. + +"Ow ow ow! That hurts!" Tim says. He looks at his knee and sees some blood. He is scared. + +"I'm sorry, Tim. I did not mean to make you fall. Here, let me wipe your knee with my cloth. It will make it better." Mia says. She runs to Tim and gently wipes his knee with her wet cloth. She tries to make him feel better. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are a good sister. Your cloth is wet and cold, but it helps. I'm sorry I was rude to you. I should have been more careful with your cloth." Tim says. He hugs Mia and smiles. + +"You're welcome, Tim. You are a good brother. I'm glad you are okay. I should have moved my cloth out of the way. I should have been more careful with your car." Mia says. She hugs Tim and smiles. + +Mom comes in and sees them hugging. She is happy and proud of them. She says, "What a nice sight! You two are so sweet and kind to each other. You know how to share and care. You are good children. I love you both very much." + +Tim and Mia say, "We love you too, Mom." + +The moral value of the story is: Be respectful and helpful to others. Accidents can happen, but you can always make up and forgive. Love is stronger than anger. +Ben and Lily were playing on the lawn. They liked to run and jump and roll on the green grass. They also liked to pick flowers and make crowns for their heads. + +But then they saw a big dog. The dog was black and brown and had sharp teeth. The dog ran towards them and barked loudly. Ben and Lily were scared. They did not know the dog. They did not know if the dog was nice or mean. + +"Help! Help!" Ben and Lily yelled. They wanted their mom or dad to come and save them. They did not want the dog to bite them or hurt them. + +But then they heard another voice. It was Sam, the boy who lived next door. Sam was older and stronger than Ben and Lily. He liked dogs and knew how to talk to them. + +"Hey, Rex! Stop! Sit!" Sam yelled. He ran to the dog and held his collar. He made the dog sit and stay. He was not afraid of the dog. He knew the dog was his friend. + +"Sorry, Ben and Lily. Rex is my dog. He is not mean. He just wanted to play with you. He likes kids. He likes to lick and wag his tail. He does not like to bite or hurt. Do you want to pet him?" Sam asked. + +Ben and Lily looked at Sam and Rex. They saw that Rex was calm and quiet. They saw that Sam was nice and friendly. They felt less scared. They nodded and smiled. + +"Okay, but be gentle. Rex is a big dog, but he is also a good dog. He will not hurt you if you are nice to him. Here, I will show you how to pet him." Sam said. + +He took Ben and Lily's hands and helped them touch Rex's fur. Rex licked their faces and wagged his tail. He was happy to meet them. Ben and Lily laughed and hugged Rex. They liked the dog. They liked Sam. They thanked him for saving them and teaching them. + +They all became friends and played on the lawn. They had fun and forgot their fear. They learned that dogs can be nice and that kids can be strong. They learned to yell for help and to yell for joy. They learned to play and to share. They learned a lot on the lawn. +Anna and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw many animals there. They saw ducks, rabbits, squirrels and birds. They liked to watch them and feed them. + +Then they saw a big animal with brown fur and long legs. It had horns on its head. It was a deer. Anna and Ben had never seen a deer before. They were curious and excited. + +"Look, mom, look!" Anna said. "What is that animal?" + +"That is a deer, Anna," mom said. "It is a different kind of animal. It lives in the woods and eats grass and leaves." + +"Wow, it is so big and pretty!" Ben said. "Can we go closer to it?" + +Mom nodded. She took Anna and Ben by the hand and walked slowly towards the deer. The deer was not afraid. It looked at them with its big eyes. + +"Hello, deer," Anna said softly. "We are Anna and Ben. We are friends." + +The deer moved its head and made a soft sound. It seemed to say hello back. Anna and Ben smiled. + +Then the deer did something amazing. It raised its head and spread its horns. It was a display. It wanted to show them how strong and beautiful it was. + +Anna and Ben gasped. They clapped their hands and cheered. + +"Wow, deer, wow!" they said. "You are so cool and awesome!" + +The deer lowered its head and wagged its tail. It was happy. It liked Anna and Ben. They liked the deer too. + +They stayed with the deer for a while. They talked to it and petted it gently. They gave it some carrots and apples. The deer ate them and licked their hands. + +Anna and Ben had a lot of fun with the deer. They learned something new and made a new friend. They thanked the deer and said goodbye. They hoped to see it again soon. +Lily and Ben are playing with their dolls. Lily has a big doll with a pink dress and a hat. Ben has a small doll with a blue shirt and pants. They are having fun making their dolls talk and move. + +But then, Ben sees Lily's hat. He likes it very much. He wants it for his doll. He takes it from Lily's doll and puts it on his doll. Lily is angry. She says, "No, Ben! That is my hat! Give it back!" + +Ben says, "No, Lily! I like this hat! It is mine now!" + +Lily tries to grab the hat from Ben's doll, but Ben holds it tight. They pull and tug on the hat. The hat is hard to get. They start to cry. + +Mom hears them crying. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the hat. She says, "Stop, Lily and Ben! Why are you fighting? You should share your toys. Sharing is nice." + +Lily and Ben look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were bad." + +Mom says, "It's okay. I know you both like the hat. But you can take turns with it. How about Lily has the hat for ten minutes, and then Ben has the hat for ten minutes? Does that sound fair?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They agree. They say, "Okay, Mom. We will share the hat." + +Mom smiles. She gives them a hug. She says, "Good. I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you play with this cloth? You can make a blanket or a cape or a tent with it. It is very soft and colorful." + +Lily and Ben like the cloth. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love the cloth." + +They take the cloth and play with it. They make their dolls a blanket and a cape and a tent. They have fun. They forget about the hat. They smile. +Tom liked to write stories. He had a book with many pages and a pen with blue ink. He wrote about animals, cars, pirates and space. He wrote every day after school, in his room, on his desk. + +One day, he wanted to write a new story, but it was dark outside. He turned on his lamp, but it did not work. He tried to change the bulb, but it was too hot. He asked his mom for help, but she was busy in the kitchen. He felt sad and angry. He could not write his story. + +He looked around his room and saw his toys. He had a train, a robot, a ball and a teddy bear. He thought maybe he could play with them, but he did not feel like playing. He wanted to write his story. + +Then he had an idea. He took his teddy bear and put it on his desk. He took his pen and wrote on the bear's tummy. He wrote "This is Bob. He is a bear. He likes honey and fish. He is my friend." He smiled and hugged his bear. He felt happy and proud. He had written his story. + +He showed his mom his bear and his story. She smiled and said "That is very clever, Tom. You are a good writer. And your bear is very useful. He is a lamp and a book." She gave him a kiss and a cookie. He ate the cookie and thanked his mom. He put his bear on his bed and turned off the light. He fell asleep with his story in his mind. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to draw and paint. They had many crayons, markers, and stickers to decorate their pictures. One day, their mom gave them a big cardboard box and said, "You can make this box into anything you want. It can be a house, a car, a rocket, or anything else. Have fun!" + +Tom and Lily were very happy and excited. They ran to their room and started to decorate the box. Tom wanted to make it into a rocket, so he drew stars and planets on one side. Lily wanted to make it into a house, so she drew windows and flowers on the other side. They used different colors and shapes to make their box look nice. + +But soon, they started to argue. Tom said, "This is my side of the box. You can't draw on it. It's a rocket, not a house." Lily said, "No, this is my side of the box. You can't draw on it. It's a house, not a rocket." They pushed and pulled the box, trying to make the other one stop. They got angry and sad. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the box and the twins. She said, "What's going on here? Why are you fighting over the box?" Tom and Lily told her their problem. They both said, "This is mine. I want to decorate it my way. It's important to me." + +Their mom said, "I understand that you both have your own ideas and feelings. But you also have to respect and share with each other. The box is big enough for both of you. You can decorate it together and make it into something new. Maybe it can be a rocket house, or a house rocket. Or something else that you both like. What do you think?" + +Tom and Lily thought about it. They realized that their mom was right. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, twin. We can decorate the box together and make it into something fun. We love you." They hugged their mom and each other. Then they went back to the box and started to decorate it again. They used their crayons, markers, and stickers to make it into a beautiful and colorful rocket house. They had a lot of fun and learned to be kind and creative. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many branches. They want to climb the tree. + +"Can we climb the tree, Mom?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, but be careful and stay together," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben run to the tree. They find a low branch and pull themselves up. They feel happy and brave. They climb higher and higher, until they reach a cozy spot. + +"Look, Ben, we can see the whole park from here!" Anna says. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Ben says. + +They sit on the branch and look around. They see birds, flowers, swings, and slides. They see other kids playing and laughing. They see Mom waving at them. + +"Mom is so patient. She lets us climb the tree and have fun," Anna says. + +"Yes, she is. She loves us very much," Ben says. + +They hug each other and smile. They are happy and grateful. + +They hear Mom calling them. + +"Anna, Ben, it's time to go home. Do you want to hear a story before bed?" + +"Yes, Mom, we love stories!" Anna and Ben say. + +They climb down the tree and run to Mom. They hold her hands and walk home. They can't wait to hear a story. They know Mom will tell them a good one. +Ben and Mia liked to play space games. They had a big box that they pretended was a rocket. They put on helmets and gloves and said they were going to the moon. + +"Ready for blast off?" Ben asked Mia. + +"Yes, let's go!" Mia said. + +They counted down from ten and then made loud noises like a rocket. They shook the box and pretended to fly through the sky. They saw stars and planets and comets. + +"Look, there's an ancient space ship!" Ben said, pointing to a picture on the wall. "Maybe it has aliens inside." + +"Let's go and see!" Mia said. "Maybe they are friendly." + +They got out of the box and walked slowly to the picture. They pretended to open a door and enter the space ship. + +"Hello, aliens!" Ben said. "We come in peace." + +But then they heard a growl. It was not an alien. It was their dog, Rex, who was hiding behind the picture. He did not like their space game. He wanted to play with them. + +"Rex, no!" Mia said. "Don't fight us!" + +Rex jumped out and barked. He ran towards them and tried to bite their helmets and gloves. Ben and Mia screamed and ran back to the box. + +"Help, help!" Ben said. "The alien is attacking us!" + +They closed the box and hoped Rex would go away. They were scared of the ancient space ship and the angry alien. They decided to play a different game next time. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play dress-up with their mom's clothes. One day, they find a big box in the closet. It has many suits and ties and hats. They are bright and shiny and colorful. + +"Wow, look at these!" Tom says. He picks up a red suit and a blue tie. "I want to be a fireman!" + +"I want to be a doctor!" Lily says. She grabs a white suit and a pink hat. "I can help people who are sick!" + +They put on the suits and the hats. They look very funny. They run to the living room. They pretend to be firemen and doctors. They make loud noises and use pillows and toys as tools. + +"Help, help, there is a fire!" Tom shouts. He rushes to the couch with a water bottle. He sprays the water on the pillows. "Don't worry, I will save you!" + +"Oh no, someone is hurt!" Lily cries. She rushes to the table with a toy stethoscope. She listens to the teddy bear's heart. "You need a band-aid!" + +They have a lot of fun. They laugh and giggle and play. They do not see their mom coming home. She opens the door and sees the mess. She sees the water and the pillows and the toys. She sees Tom and Lily in her suits and hats. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. She is not happy. She is angry. + +Tom and Lily stop playing. They look at their mom. They are scared. They do not know what to say. + +"Sorry, mom," they say. They take off the suits and the hats. They try to clean up the mess. + +Their mom sighs. She is not angry anymore. She is tired. She hugs them and kisses them. + +"It's okay, I love you," she says. "But next time, please ask me before you play with my clothes." +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and find things. Anna found a shiny coin and Ben found a big rock. He wanted to show it to Anna. + +"Look, Anna, look!" he said, holding the rock in his hands. "It is big and heavy and gray. Do you want to hold it?" + +Anna looked at the rock. It was big and heavy and gray, but it also had something else. It had eyes and teeth and spikes. It was not a rock, it was a scary monster! + +"Ben, Ben, no!" she screamed. "That is not a rock, that is a scary monster! Drop it, drop it now!" + +But Ben did not hear her. He was too proud of his rock. He held it closer to his face and smiled. The scary monster opened its eyes and teeth and spikes and bit Ben's nose. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried, dropping the rock. "It bit me, it bit me!" + +Anna ran to him and hugged him. She was scared and sorry. She helped him stop the blood and find a band-aid. She also found a stick and poked the rock. It did not move. It was not a scary monster anymore. It was just a rock. + +"Ben, I am sorry," she said. "I should have told you sooner. It was a scary monster, but now it is just a rock. Are you okay?" + +Ben nodded. He was okay. His nose hurt, but he was brave. He looked at the rock and frowned. + +"I don't like that rock," he said. "It is a bad rock. Let's bury it in the sand and never find it again." + +Anna agreed. They buried the rock in the sand and never found it again. They played with other things and had fun. They learned to be careful with rocks. Some rocks are good, but some rocks are scary. +Tim and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big pond with many ducks. They want to feed the ducks some bread. They break the bread into small pieces and throw them into the water. + +"Look, Lily, the ducks are eating the bread!" Tim says. + +"Yes, they are, Tim. They are happy ducks," Lily says. + +They see a small boat with a sail on the pond. It is red and white and has a flag. It looks fancy. They want to play with the boat. + +"Can we touch the boat, Lily?" Tim asks. + +"I don't know, Tim. Maybe it belongs to someone," Lily says. + +They go closer to the pond and reach for the boat. But a big duck swims to the boat and bites the sail. It makes a loud quack. + +"Ouch! That duck is mean!" Tim says. + +"Let's go away, Tim. The duck is angry," Lily says. + +They run away from the pond and find another game to play. They leave the boat and the duck alone. They hope the boat is not broken. They hope the duck is not hungry. They are still friends. +Tom was a boy who liked to eat. He ate bread and cheese and fruit and cake. But he also liked to eat things that other people did not like. He liked to eat bugs. He ate ants and worms and beetles. He thought they were crunchy and tasty. + +One day, he saw a cricket in the grass. It was green and shiny and had long legs. Tom was eager to eat it. He ran to catch it, but the cricket was fast. It jumped and hopped away from Tom. Tom chased it, but he could not catch it. + +"Come here, cricket!" Tom shouted. "I want to eat you!" + +The cricket heard Tom and was scared. It did not want to be eaten. It looked for a place to hide. It saw a hole in the ground. It jumped into the hole and hoped Tom would not find it. + +But Tom saw the hole too. He smiled and followed the cricket. He reached into the hole with his hand. He felt something soft and furry. He thought it was the cricket. He pulled it out and put it in his mouth. + +But it was not the cricket. It was a mole. A mole is a small animal that lives in the ground. It has sharp teeth and claws. It does not like to be eaten. + +The mole bit Tom's tongue and scratched his cheek. Tom screamed and spat out the mole. He dropped it on the ground and ran away. He was hurt and scared. + +The cricket came out of the hole and saw the mole. The mole was angry and confused. It did not know what had happened. It did not like to be disturbed. + +"Who are you?" the mole asked the cricket. + +"I am a cricket," the cricket said. "I was hiding from that boy. He wanted to eat me." + +"Why did he want to eat you?" the mole asked. + +"I don't know," the cricket said. "He likes to eat bugs. He is weird." + +The mole nodded. It agreed with the cricket. The boy was weird. It did not like him. + +"Let's go," the mole said. "This is not a safe place. Come with me. I know a better hole." + +The cricket agreed. It followed the mole to a new hole. They became friends. They did not see the boy again. They were happy. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends - a little girl and a little boy. The little girl was stubborn and the little boy was eager to have fun. + +One day, the little boy said to the little girl, “Let’s celebrate and have a party!†The little girl shook her head and said, “No, I want to read my file.†The little boy pleaded with the little girl, but she didn’t cave in. + +The little boy thought of a way to get the little girl to join him. He grabbed a few of her favorite toys and shouted with joy, "Come, we can play together and our party will be fun!" + +The little girl was still stubborn, but the little boy was determined to have a good time. He smiled and said, “Okay, you read your file and I'll play with my toys. But when you’re done, you’ll join in for the party, right?†The little girl smiled and said “Okay!†+ +So, the little girl read her file and the little boy played with his toys. When she was done, they both had a fantastic time celebrating and their friendship grew stronger. + +The End. +Once upon a time there was an unknown creature. It lived in a far away land and did not have any friends. Every day the creature would raise from its bed and wander around its forest. + +One day, in the middle of the forever forest, the creature came upon another creature. + +“Hello! Who are you?†The unknown creature said in surprise. + +“I am a dragon!†said the dragon. + +The unknown creature was scared and ready to run away, but the dragon just laughed. + +“Do not be afraid!†The dragon said. “I want to be your friend.†+ +The unknown creature did not know what to do. After a long minute of thinking, the creature bravely held out its hand to the dragon and said “Yes, let us be friends.†+ +The two new friends were overjoyed, and they would explore the forest together every day. + +THE +Once upon a time, there was a seed. It was small and round and blue. The seed wanted to grow and have big leaves. So, it started to work hard. Every day it pushed its way through the earth and inch by inch, it began to grow. + +Finally, one morning, it poked its head up from the ground. It grew bigger and bigger each day and soon it had two big, green leaves. + +One day, a little girl came by and saw the seed's work. "Wow" she said, in her little voice. "That's amazing! You are so strong." + +The seed smiled. "Yes," it said. "I worked hard and now I can grow big and blue and beautiful." + +The little girl smiled back. "You look wonderful!" She said, and the seed glowed with pride. + +Since then, the seed has kept growing and becoming even more beautiful. +Mia and her mom went on a camping adventure. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the grass was so green. + +Mia looked around and saw a lake with a raft floating in it. She said, "Mom, can I go read my book on the raft? Pleeease?!" + +Her mom said yes and smiled. "Be careful, be sure to take a life jacket!" + +Mia put the life jacket on and stepped onto the raft. She opened her book and started to read. She was so excited to explore the lake on the raft! + +Soon it was lunchtime and Mia's mom had made her a delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Mia took it out onto the raft and enjoyed the sunshine while she ate. "Delicious!" she exclaimd. + +Mia sat for a long time enjoying the view and the tranquility of the lake. When it was time to go, she hugged her book tight and jumped off the raft. She said, "This camping adventure was so fun!" +Once upon a time, there was a little panda. He liked to hop and play. One day, he decided to explore the woods. He hopped and hopped until he came to a tree. Out of nowhere, a big gust of wind came and the temperature dropped. Everything around him was freezing cold. He was so uncomfortable! + +The poor little panda trembled, but he held on tight to the tree trunk. He did not want to move. Suddenly, he heard a voice. + +"Don't be scared little panda! Come inside, I'll keep you warm," said the friendly voice. + +The panda followed the voice and saw a cozy cottage with a roaring fire inside. He was so happy - the warmth was amazing! The friendly voice belonged to a kind old lady. She said, "You're safe here, panda. Now you can get warm and take your time to explore." + +The little panda thanked the kind old lady and explored the woods all day. He was never so cold again! +Once upon a time there was an old man. He had a big, long nose and he liked to print things. +One day he went over to a friend's house, who had a really cool printer. He asked her if he could print a special picture for his grandchild. +The friend said, "Sure! What should I print?" +The old man smiled and said, "Print a picture of me. I want my grandchild to remember their old grandpa!" + +So the friend printed the old man's picture. When the old man saw it, he was very happy. He thought it was the most wonderful picture in the world. + +He thanked the friend and showed the picture to his grandchild. The grandchild hugged the old man and said, "I love your big, old nose!" + +The old man was so happy that he decided to print more pictures of his grandchild. From then on, he would always print a special picture once in a while to remember the grandchild and their old nose! +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Sarah. Sarah saw a green frog hopping around her garden one evening. She was so excited! She wanted to make sure the frog stayed safe, so she started to clean around the garden. She moved the pots, the chairs and swept the leaves away. + +Suddenly Sarah saw the frog looking at her with its big eyes. She said, "Hello, little frog! Would you like to stay and play in my garden?" The frog didn't answer, but it hopped away into the bushes. + +Sarah was sad, but she decided to keep cleaning. She finished tidying up, and then she waited in the evening. Suddenly, she heard a noise! It was the little frog hopping back into the garden. + +Sarah was so happy. She said, "Welcome back little frog. Now we can play together in my green garden." And they did, until it was time for Sarah to go to bed. +Once upon a time, there lived a family of three. Mommy, Daddy and their little daughter, Grace. Grace loved her family so much and every day she would hug them and tell them she loved them. + +One day, Grace and her family were on a holiday. They needed to get on a plane to go to their special destination. But first, Mommy and Daddy needed to show their passports to the airport lady so she could check them. + +When the airport lady saw their passports, she smiled and said, "Wow, your passports look so safe. You're allowed to come on the plane now." + +Grace was so excited and she asked Daddy, "Can I hold my passport, too?" + +Daddy smiled and said, "Of course you can! It's safe, so be gentle with it." + +Grace held the passport carefully in her hands with love. She couldn't believe it was hers. And so, off they flew to their special destination. + +The end. +The sun was shining brightly and it made everyone smile. Dan and his dad were playing catch in the park. Dan liked to throw the ball high in the air so it made a big crack when it landed on the ground. His dad was so proud of him. + +“Wow, Dan! That was a tight throw!†said dad, smiling. + +Dan smiled too and threw the ball even higher this time.

I can carry your bucket and shovel for you, so you don't lose them!" + +The little girl smiled and thanked the shark. Together they went back to the beach, where they played and built sandcastles. The little girl was no longer sleepy and thanked the shark again before she went home. +Once upon a time, there were two friends named Tom and Jerry. Tom was very happy and enjoyed playing in the park. One day, Tom and Jerry decided to go on an adventure and explore the woods. As the two were walking, they noticed a green tree near the path. Tom said to Jerry, "Let's go find out what's hidden in the tree". Jerry was very excited and said yes. + +When they reached the tree, Tom and Jerry noticed that the tree was rotten and its leaves were falling off. Jerry asked Tom, "What happened to the tree?". Tom replied, "It seems that the tree is rotting". Jerry was very sad and said, "Oh no! This tree was so green and beautiful!" Suddenly, they heard a noise coming from inside the tree. Tom and Jerry wondered who was in there and what was making the noise. + +The two decided to see what was inside the tree and carefully climbed up. When they opened the hollow tree, they were surprised to find a little bird and her three baby birds. The green-feathered mommy bird said to them, "Thank you for finding my hidden babies. I was afraid I would never find them again". Tom and Jerry were so happy that they were able to help the bird and her babies! +Danny was so proud when he saw his new school bag. It was made of strong red fabric and had a zipper. He quickly ran his hands along the bag, feeling the zipper go up and down. + +Danny was about to take it home when his friend Ben came up to him.

I'm sure it will sack well." + +Ben nodded and said, "Mine too! I bet we both have the strongest bags in our class." + +Danny was proud of his bag.

I like my toy!" +Tommy got angry and started to shake the hose. He said, "Give it to me now!" + +Sam stood his ground and said, "No! I won't give it to you!"

Tommy looked down and said, "Okay." + +Sam was relieved. He thanked Tommy's mom for stepping in and they both decided to play together with the toy so that no one would be jealous. + +They all smiled, and then went back to playing. +Frog and Bear were very adventurous.

The little boy was so excited to see the fog and he wanted to go closer to it. But, mommy said, "No, sweetie. We can't go any closer to the fog. It is not safe." + +The little boy was frustrated. He wanted to get closer but mommy wouldn't let him. So, instead, mommy showed the little boy other fun things. They kept walking and mommy showed the wee boy leaves, flowers, birds and dogs. The little boy loved what mommy showed him and he forgot all about the fog. +Mama and Jack were sitting on the sofa. They looked at the broken TV together. + +"What happened, Mama?" Jack asked. + +"Sometimes things break and they aren't useful anymore," Mama said. + +"Is the broken TV still valuable?" + +"Yes, it is still valuable. Even though it's broken, we can still remember how much fun we had watching it and that makes it valuable." + +"Can I still watch it?" + +"No, Jack," Mama said. "It's broken and doesn't work anymore. We need to find something else to watch and replace the TV." + +Mama and Jack looked around the room. There weren't a lot of things to choose from. After awhile, Mama pulled out a big box with a smile. + +Jack was so excited. "What is it, Mama?" he asked. + +Mama opened the box. Inside were a bunch of books. "We can read these stories together," she said. + +Jack and Mama spent the rest of the day reading and playing.

Will you teach me?" + +The girl was surprised but decided to teach the bee. She taught the bee about numbers, letters and shapes. + +The girl and the bee became friends and every day they would study together. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was an old clock.

Can you pinch me?†+ +The clock replied, “Yes, I can! Come closer!†+ +Joe was a bit scared but he was also excited. He slowly stepped closer and felt the clock's hands pinch him softly. He laughed and said, “That tickled! Can you do it again?†+ +But the clock said, “No. You have to go now. It's time for you to go home.†+ +So Joe sadly waved goodbye to the old clock and went home. He couldn't wait to come back to visit it again soon! +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim had the bluest eyes that you could ever imagine. He was so happy to be playing with his new toy, a rocking horse. + +Tim's mom saw him and said, "Oh, Tim, be careful with that.

He then started to rock on his horse more and more, much to his mom's worry. + +Just then, there was a big crash in the kitchen. Tim's mom ran to the kitchen to see what happened. She found that one of the cabinets had fallen over. Tim had forgotten to close it after getting a snack. + +Tim heard his mom and came running over. He knew he had made a mistake and he was scared.

So he climbed into the basket and waved goodbye. + +He moved through the air and it was so high. He suspended in the sky and gazed at the blue. As Jack moved closer to the sun, the wind blew. The wind sent his balloon higher, which wasn't too bad. Though he only heard its whisper, he felt its dependable rad. + +"I never want to leave this place," said Jack to the wind. And it blew ever so softly like it understood. He stayed in the sky until it was time to go down. + +Thumping back on the ground, Jack had a frown. He waved goodbye to the wind and to the birds in the sky. He made a promise to himself, one he'd never deny: He'd go up in the balloon again and gave a grateful smile. And until then, he'll be content to just gaze for a while. +Once there was a little boy named Kai. He was playing in his room when he noticed a motor outside. He felt curious, so he rushed over to take a peek. + +Kai was very excited when he saw the motor. He switched it on and it started to whiz and move quickly. Kai was delighted, but a bit fearful too. + +That's when his mum called out to him, “Kai! Don't touch the motor! It might be too big and scary for you.†+ +Kai understood. He stepped away from the motor, feeling a bit sad he couldn't play with it.

He had lots of fun playing with them, imagining he was in a real motor. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy called Jim. He was just three years old. One gloomy day, he decided to go for a walk in the forest. + +As he walked, he started to feel cold. All around him the trees were frozen and there were tiny icicles hanging from the branches. He looked around, feeling a bit scared. + +Suddenly, he spotted something that made him feel a bit better - a big pot of honey! He called out to the bees, asking to borrow some honey. + +The bees all replied in a buzzing chorus. "Yes, sure! Help yourself!" + +Jim scooped out some of the honey and smiled. Now he wouldn't feel so cold in the forest. He licked his fingers and started on his way back home.

One day when she was out playing, a fox suddenly came charging towards her at top speed. The rabbit froze with fear and shouted, "Help me!" + +But the fox was too fast. He chased the rabbit around the forest, but the rabbit was too quick for him and managed to escape. + +Once the fox was out of sight, the rabbit stopped to take a deep breath and relax. Then she hopped away, feeling very cheerful that she had outwitted the fox. + +"That was a close one," the rabbit said, still excited from her successful escape. "I must remember always to stay alert and prepared for things like this. It's the best way to make sure I stay safe!" + +And though there were still a few scary moments, the rabbit was now more determined than ever to keep having fun in the forest. +John liked nothing better than to play outside in the sunshine.

We can use this flexible clay to shape into whistles." + +John and Mary got to work. They rolled the clay until it was thin, then twisted it into shapes that looked like whistles. When they blew into their little creations they heard a wonderful sound. + +John smiled and said, "We did it! We made a whistle!" + +Mary smiled too and said, "Yes, and now you can whistle a tune." + +John began to whistle a happy tune and Mary clapped her hands. When they were done, they had made four whistles that sounded just like musical instruments. John and Mary had so much fun playing with their whistles. +Once there was a healthy ostrich who had to sleep. He snuggled up in a soft, comfy nest and rested his head on a pillow. + +But he was not sure how to get to sleep.

"You have to close your eyes and imagine a soft, cocooning blanket around you.

She laughed and said, "I'm not very good at balancing yet!" + +Just then, Mia's mom came outside and saw what Mia was doing. "Be careful, Mia," said mom. "You want to balance on the sunflower so we can watch you, but don't get too close to the edge. We wouldn't want you to fall." + +Mia nodded. She spent the next few minutes balancing carefully on the sunflower, until her mom called her inside for lunch. + +Mia was so happy that she was able to balance on the sunflower.

Look at me!" + +Dave was not impressed and he scowled. "That's a silly thing to do," he said. Then he started spraying his water bottle in the air too. + +Hank was happy that Dave was joining in. He said, "Let's have a spraying race! Who can spray their water the highest?" + +But Dave was still being selfish. "No, I don't want to spray with you," he said. + +Hank was sad, but he didn't mind.

The police bear said, "You have been going far too fast and now you must spend time in jail." + +Jim was sad to here this and he was very scared. He thought about all the times his daddy told him not to speed and wished he had listened. He was taken away to jail and had to stay there for a long time. + +Jim has learned his lesson now and always drives much slower. Even though he still enjoys the feeling of speeding, he knows to always be careful. +Once upon a time there was a little boy and his name was Jack.

He watched big logs and small sticks pass by. + +Suddenly, he heard something. He looked around and saw a wild bear! The bear was big and strong. It was walking on the lumber and making loud noises. The boy got scared and wanted to run away! + +He started to go back, but the bear was following him. The boy ran faster and faster, but the bear was catching up! Fortunately, the boy managed to find his way back home. He was so happy to be back that he smiled and waved goodbye to the wild bear. +Once upon a time, there was a mountain. It was very big and strong, but also very lonely. No one ever wanted to come near it, because it was so hot! One day, a small girl decided that she wanted to help the mountain. + +The girl started to build at the foot of the mountain. She brought some rocks and made a pathway up to the top. As she kept building, the mountain saw the girl’s hard work and was very happy. + +The girl kept climbing and finally reached the top and stood on the peak. The mountain thanked her for her work, and gave her a big hug.

The fox had to find food for his family, so everyday he went to the same place.

She used all kinds of colors to make it and when it was finished, it was beautiful. + +But, when the neighbor saw it, he was not happy at all. He snapped angrily and told her that he did not want it. The little girl was so sad and she ran away quickly to her house. She never bothered the neighbor again. + +Although the little girl never did anything bad on purpose, the neighbor was still very rude to her. She did not understand why he was so mean, because he was always so kind before. It was unknown why he snapped at her like that, but the girl never returned to the neighbor's house again. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a figure walking through the woods. It was dark and the figure was frightened. She wanted to find a place to rest, so she looked around.

She said, "Yes, I'm packed!" + +Mum picked up the suitcase and said, "Remember to be quiet!

Sam loved to explore and always looked for new places to go and things to do. One day, he decided to go to the park. + +When he got there, he saw that a large tree had fallen and blocked the path. He tried to move it, but it was too heavy for him. + +So, Sam lied and said the path was available. He hoped no one would find out that the path was blocked. + +But then, a little girl who was three years old came walking along the path. She noticed that the tree was blocking the way and asked Sam why he said the path was available. + +Sam was embarrassed and he scurried away without saying another word. From then on, Sam made sure to always tell the truth. +Once there was a river called the Vine. It was very pretty, with blue sparkling water. Everyone came to the river to drink the water. It was so refreshing and delicious. Everyone said it was the best water they ever tasted! + +One day, two little kitties were on their way to the river to drink. They were so excited they could hardly wait. When they got there, they both started drinking the water.

She wanted it so badly but it was too sharp. + +The girl's friend said to her, "Wait! I've seen a toy that looks just like that one but it costs less money. It's upstairs. Let's go see!" So the two friends went upstairs and found a toy that was cheap. It wasn't as sharp as the other one but it was still very nice. + +The moral of the story is that it's alright to want nice things, but you don't always have to buy the most expensive things.

"It's too cold outside and you need to finish your lunch." + +Sam looked longingly at the park, then turned back to his tuna sandwich. As he ate, he watched some birds hopping around in the trees.

"Take these brown crumbs outside with you and see how the birds like them." + +Sam took the bag of crumbs, and hurried to the park. He scattered the crumbs on the ground and watched as the birds swooped down to eat them. He was so happy, watching them fly and eat. + +Mum's permission had allowed Sam to do something special that day. The birds were grateful to him, and every time Sam went to the park afterwards, they remembered him. + +This story teaches that when we ask permission to do something, it can open up new opportunities that you could have never imagined. Sometimes it just takes a little patience and the courage to ask for permission. +Once there were two friends, Jack and Jane. They liked to play together, but often they disagreed. One day, they wanted to play with a big pipe. Jack thought it would be fun to roll it down the hill, but Jane thought it should be used to make music. + +Jack wanted to roll the pipe and Jane wanted to play music and they just couldn't agree.

Jack said. + +His mum replied, "This is a spider's web. The spider made it to catch his dinner." + +Jack looked closely and saw that there were lots of small insects inside the web. + +"Can I still slide?" he asked. + +His mum nodded and said, "Yes, just be careful not to break the web." + +Jack carefully slid down the slide, and he felt like he was gliding through a sea of delicate strings.
