They forgot about the dog and the man. They had fun and learned a lesson. +Sara likes to organize her toys. She has a big box with many small boxes inside. She puts her dolls in one box, her cars in another box, and her blocks in a third box. She likes to make her toys neat and tidy. + +One day, Sara finds a grape on the floor. She does not know where it came from. She thinks it is a toy. She picks it up and looks for a box to put it in. She does not see a box for grapes. She thinks hard. + +She sees a box with a picture of a phone on it. She knows that phones are modern things. She thinks that grapes are also modern, because they are round and shiny. She decides to put the grape in the box with the phone. She is happy with her choice. + +She closes the box and puts it back in the big box. She goes to play with her dolls. She does not notice that the grape is squished by the phone. She does not see the juice dripping out of the box. She does not hear her mom coming in the room. She does not know that she will have to organize her toys again. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill near their house. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Tom," Lily said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"OK, Lily," Tom said. "But we have to be careful. It is getting dark soon." + +They ran to the hill and started to climb. It was hard and steep, but they did not give up. They helped each other and cheered each other on. + +They reached the top and looked around. They saw a big forest with many trees and animals. They also saw a small house with a light in the window. + +"Wow, look at that, Lily," Tom said. "Who lives there?" + +"I don't know, Tom," Lily said. "Maybe we can go and say hello." + +They walked to the house and knocked on the door. A kind old woman opened it and smiled at them. + +"Hello, children," she said. "What are you doing here?" + +"We climbed the hill and saw your house," Lily said. "We wanted to meet you." + +"That's very brave of you," the woman said. "But you should not stay here too long. It is dark and cold outside. You need to go back to your home." + +"Can we come in for a bit?" Tom asked. "We are tired and thirsty." + +"Of course, you can," the woman said. "Come in and sit by the fire. I will give you some water and cookies." + +They followed the woman into the house and sat on a cozy sofa. The woman gave them water and cookies and told them stories. She told them about the forest and the animals and the stars. She told them about her life and her wisdom. She told them to be kind and curious and brave. + +Tom and Lily listened and learned. They felt warm and happy. They thanked the woman for her kindness and her wisdom. + +"You are very welcome, children," the woman said. "But you should go now. Your parents must be worried about you." + +She gave them a hug and a flashlight and showed them the way back to the hill. + +"Be careful, children," she said. "And come back anytime you want. I will be happy to see you again." + +Tom and Lily waved goodbye and ran back to the hill. They used the flashlight to see the path. They climbed down the hill and ran back to their house. They saw their parents waiting for them. + +"Where have you been, Tom and Lily?" their mother asked. "We were so worried about you. It is dark and late." + +"We are sorry, mom," Tom and Lily said. "We climbed the hill and met a nice old woman. She gave us water and cookies and stories. She taught us a lot of wisdom." + +Their parents looked surprised and curious. They asked them to tell them more about the woman and the hill and the forest. Tom and Lily told them everything they saw and heard and felt. + +Their parents listened and smiled. They hugged them and praised them. + +"You are very brave, Tom and Lily," their father said. "But you are also very lucky. You had a wonderful adventure and made a new friend. You increased your wisdom and your joy." + +They all went inside and had a warm dinner. They talked and laughed and shared their stories. They felt happy and grateful. They went to bed and dreamed of the hill and the woman and the forest. They looked forward to the next day and the next adventure. +Tom was a hairy boy who liked to build towers with his blocks. He had many blocks of different colors and shapes, and he could make tall and strong towers. He was proud of his towers and showed them to his mom and dad. + +But there was a problem. His little sister, Lily, liked to knock down his towers. She thought it was funny to see the blocks fall and hear Tom cry. She was a naughty girl who did not listen to mom and dad. She waited for Tom to finish his towers and then ran to them and pushed them with her hands. + +One day, Tom had an idea. He decided to make a trap for Lily. He built a very big tower in the middle of his room, with a lot of blocks. He made it look very tempting for Lily to knock down. But he also hid a soft pillow under the tower, and a loud toy that made a scary noise when you pressed it. + +He finished his tower and went to sleep in his bed. He pretended to be asleep, but he was really watching his door. He knew Lily would come soon. And she did. She saw the big tower and smiled. She tiptoed to the tower and reached her hand to push it. + +But when she touched the tower, it collapsed on her. The pillow cushioned her fall, but the toy made a loud roar that scared her. She screamed and cried. Tom jumped out of his bed and laughed. He had tricked Lily. He said, "That's what you get for knocking down my towers!" + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to the room. They saw Lily under the blocks and Tom laughing. They were not happy. They scolded Tom for being mean to his sister and making a mess. They made him apologize to Lily and help her clean up the blocks. They also took away his toy and said he could not play with it for a week. + +Tom was sad and sorry. He realized he had been too harsh with Lily. He hugged her and said he was sorry. Lily forgave him and said she was sorry too. She promised not to knock down his towers anymore. They decided to play together and share the blocks. They built a new tower, but this time they made it together. They were happy and hugged each other. Mom and dad smiled and said they were proud of them. They tucked them in their beds and kissed them good night. Tom and Lily fell asleep, dreaming of towers and blocks. +Tom and Anna were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were cowboys and cowgirls. They had hats, boots, and pistols. They also had a furry dog named Spot, who followed them everywhere. + +One day, they saw a big truck stop in front of their house. It was the mail truck. The mailman came out with a big bag of letters and packages. He smiled and waved at Tom and Anna. + +"Hello, kids! Do you want to help me deliver the mail?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Anna said. They ran to the truck and grabbed some letters and packages. They followed the mailman to the next house. + +"Be careful with the pistols, kids. They are not real, but they can still hurt someone if you point them at them," the mailman said. + +"OK, we will be careful," Tom and Anna said. They liked the mailman. He was nice and funny. + +They delivered the mail to several houses. They had fun putting the letters and packages in the mailboxes or on the porches. Sometimes they met other kids or pets, and they said hello to them. + +At the last house, they saw a big, furry cat sitting on the fence. It was black and white, and it had yellow eyes. It looked at Tom and Anna and hissed. + +"Wow, look at that cat! It is so furry!" Anna said. + +"Let's pet it!" Tom said. He reached out his hand to touch the cat. + +But the cat did not like that. It scratched Tom's hand and jumped off the fence. It ran away, leaving Tom crying. + +"Ow, ow, ow! That cat hurt me!" Tom said. + +"Oh, no! Are you OK, Tom?" Anna said. She dropped her letters and ran to Tom. She hugged him and tried to make him feel better. + +The mailman also came to Tom. He took a band-aid from his bag and put it on Tom's hand. + +"There, there. It's OK, Tom. The cat was just scared. It did not mean to hurt you. You are brave and strong. The band-aid will help you heal," the mailman said. + +"Thank you, mailman. You are very kind," Tom said. + +"You're welcome, Tom. And thank you, Anna, for being a good friend to Tom. You are very sweet," the mailman said. + +He gave Tom and Anna a lollipop each. He also gave one to Spot, who wagged his tail. + +"Thank you, mailman. You are the best!" Tom and Anna said. + +They smiled and licked their lollipops. They felt better. They waved goodbye to the mailman, who drove away in his truck. + +They went back to their yard. They put their hats, boots, and pistols away. They played with Spot, who licked their faces. + +They had a good day. They learned a lot. They learned how to deliver the mail, how to be careful with pistols, and how to be nice to animals and people. + +They also learned that furry cats can be mean. But they still liked furry things. Especially furry dogs. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big trampoline. They wanted to jump on it. + +"Can we go on the trampoline, please?" Sara asked her mom. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't jump too high or too hard. And don't push or kick each other," her mom said. + +Sara and Tom ran to the trampoline. They took off their shoes and climbed on. They started to jump and bounce. They felt happy and free. + +"Look at me, Sara! I can spring very high!" Tom said. + +"Me too, Tom! I can spring higher than you!" Sara said. + +They tried to spring higher and higher. They laughed and shouted. They did not see the sign that said "Only two kids at a time". + +A boy and a girl came to the trampoline. They were older and bigger than Sara and Tom. They did not ask or wait. They were ignorant. They put on their shoes and jumped on the trampoline. + +"Hey, get off! This is our trampoline!" the boy said. + +"No, it's not! We were here first!" Tom said. + +The boy and the girl pushed and kicked Sara and Tom. They made them fall and hurt. They did not care. They kept jumping and bouncing. + +Sara and Tom cried. They wanted their mom. They got off the trampoline. They ran to their mom. They told her what happened. + +"That's not nice. Those kids are ignorant. They don't know how to share and be kind. Are you okay?" their mom said. + +She hugged and kissed them. She checked their bumps and bruises. She gave them a band-aid and a juice. + +"Let's go to another part of the park. There are more fun things to do. You can swing and slide and run. And you can make new friends who are not ignorant," she said. + +Sara and Tom nodded. They felt better. They left the trampoline. They followed their mom. They still liked to spring, but they also liked to share and be kind. +Tom and Lily went to the big park with Mom and Dad. They saw many things there: swings, slides, flowers, birds, and a big tent. Mom said, "Look, there is a circus in the tent. Do you want to see it?" Tom and Lily nodded and clapped their hands. + +They went inside the tent and sat on the chairs. They saw many people and animals. They saw a man with a big hat and a long coat. He had a stick and a whistle. He said, "Hello, boys and girls. Welcome to the circus. Are you ready for some fun?" The people said, "Yes!" The man said, "Then let the show begin!" + +The show was very fun. They saw a lion that jumped through a ring of fire. They saw a lady that flew in the air with a rope. They saw a monkey that rode a bike. They saw a horse that danced with a ball. They saw a clown that made funny faces and noises. The clown had a big red nose and big shoes. He had a bell on his hat. He rang the bell and said, "Ding dong, ding dong. Who wants a balloon?" Tom and Lily raised their hands. The clown came to them and gave them each a balloon. Tom got a blue balloon and Lily got a pink balloon. They said, "Thank you, clown!" The clown said, "You're welcome, kids. Enjoy the show!" + +Tom and Lily liked the clown. They liked his bell and his balloons. They laughed at his jokes and tricks. They watched him throw pies and squirt water. They watched him fall and get up. They watched him hug and kiss the other clowns. They watched him wave and bow. They clapped and cheered for him. + +The show was over. The man with the hat and coat said, "Thank you, boys and girls, for coming to the circus. We hope you had a good time. Goodbye and see you soon!" The people said, "Goodbye!" and left the tent. Tom and Lily held their balloons and followed Mom and Dad. They said, "We liked the circus. We liked the clown. He was funny and nice." Mom and Dad said, "We're glad you liked it. We liked it too. The clown was very good." They smiled and hugged Tom and Lily. They went home happy. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and leaves. One day, their mom said, "Boys, you need to help me rake the leaves. It is a lot of work and I need your hands." + +Tim and Sam did not want to rake the leaves. They wanted to play with their toys and run around. They said, "Mom, can we do it later? We are having fun." + +Mom said, "No, you need to do it now. It will be dark soon and the leaves will get wet and messy. Come on, I will show you how to use the rake." + +Mom gave Tim and Sam each a rake and showed them how to drag it across the grass and make a pile of leaves. Tim and Sam tried to do it, but they did not like it. It was hard and boring. They looked at each other and had an idea. + +They dropped their rakes and ran to the pile of leaves. They jumped in and out, throwing leaves in the air and laughing. They made a big mess and had a lot of fun. + +Mom saw them and was not happy. She said, "Boys, what are you doing? You are not helping me at all. You are making more work for me. You need to pick up the leaves and put them in the bags." + +Tim and Sam looked at Mom and saw her angry face. They felt bad and said, "Sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We will help you now." + +They picked up their rakes and started to rake the leaves again. They worked hard and fast, and soon they had filled all the bags. Mom smiled and said, "Thank you, boys. You did a good job. Now you can play with your toys and run around." + +Tim and Sam were happy and proud. They hugged Mom and said, "You are welcome, Mom. We love you." + +They ran to their toys and played until it was dark. They had a chubby dog named Spot who joined them. They had a good day. +Tom and Lily were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to pretend that the dolls were their babies and they were the parents. They gave them names, clothes and bottles. + +"Look, this is my baby, Anna. She has a pretty face and long hair," Lily said, holding up her doll. + +"This is my baby, Ben. He has a bald face and no hair," Tom said, showing his doll. + +Lily laughed. "That's not a baby, that's a potato!" + +Tom felt angry. "No, it's not! It's a baby! It reminds me of Grandpa. He has a bald face and no hair, too. And he is very nice and smart." + +Lily stopped laughing. She remembered Grandpa. He was nice and smart. He used to read them stories and play with them. But he was sick and had to go to the hospital. They had not seen him for a long time. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Your baby is nice, too. And it does remind me of Grandpa. I miss him a lot," Lily said. + +Tom smiled. "It's okay, Lily. I miss him, too. Maybe we can visit him soon and show him our babies. I think he would like that." + +Lily nodded. "Yes, let's do that. Maybe he will get better soon and come back home." + +They hugged each other and their dolls. Then they continued to play, hoping that Grandpa would be happy and healthy again. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben wanted to play with the doll too. + +"Can I have your doll, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "You have your car." + +"But I want to try the doll. It has pretty hair and a dress. Please, Lily, just for a little bit," Ben begged. + +"No, no, no!" Lily shouted. She hugged the doll and turned away from Ben. + +Ben felt angry and sad. He wanted to share with Lily, but she was being grumpy and mean. He decided to take the doll from her when she was not looking. He waited for a moment and then grabbed the doll from Lily's arms. + +"Hey, give it back!" Lily cried. She tried to get the doll back, but Ben was stronger. They pulled and pushed and yelled at each other. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was going on. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the doll. + +"What's happening here?" she asked. "Why are you not playing nicely?" + +"Lily won't let me play with her doll!" Ben said. + +"Ben took my doll!" Lily said. + +Mom looked at them and sighed. She knew they both liked the doll, but they had to learn to share and be kind. + +"Ben, did you ask Lily if you could play with her doll?" she asked. + +"Yes, I did, but she said no," Ben said. + +"Lily, is that the truth?" she asked. + +Lily looked down and felt guilty. She knew she had not been nice to Ben. She wanted to keep the doll for herself, but she also wanted to make Ben happy. + +"No, it's not the truth," she said. "I didn't reply to Ben. I just said no and shouted at him." + +Mom nodded and smiled. She was glad Lily told the truth. + +"Thank you for being honest, Lily. That's very brave of you. But you also have to learn to share your toys with your brother. He is your friend and he wants to play with you. How would you feel if he didn't let you play with his car?" she asked. + +Lily thought about it and realized she would feel sad and lonely. She didn't want Ben to feel that way. + +"I would feel bad, Mom. I'm sorry, Ben. You can play with my doll if you want. I can play with your car," she said. + +Ben smiled and hugged Lily. He was happy that she was sorry and that she wanted to share with him. + +"Thank you, Lily. I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have taken your doll. You can play with my car. It's very fast and fun," he said. + +Mom hugged them both and gave them a kiss. + +"I'm proud of you, Lily and Ben. You solved your problem and you said sorry to each other. That's very good. Now, why don't you play together and have fun?" she said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and agreed. They took their toys and played together in the living room. They were not grumpy and mean anymore. They were happy and kind. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they found a little dog. The dog was dirty and hungry. Anna and Ben felt sorry for the dog. + +"Can we keep him?" Anna asked Ben. + +"Sure, he needs a home and some love," Ben said. + +They took the dog to Anna's house. They gave him some water and some food. They named him Spot. They played with him and cuddled him. They were very happy. + +But Anna's mom did not like the dog. She said he was too messy and noisy. She said he had to go. + +"No, please, mom, we love him!" Anna cried. + +"Sorry, honey, but he can't stay here. He belongs to someone else. We have to find his owner," Anna's mom said. + +She put the dog in a box and took him to the car. Anna and Ben ran after her. They begged her to let them keep the dog. But she did not listen. She drove away with the dog. + +Anna and Ben were miserable. They lost their friend. They did not know if they would ever see him again. They hugged each other and cried. They wished they could find the dog and bring him back. But they could not. The end. +Ben and Jen are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch TV. But they do not like to help Mom and Dad with the house. They are lazy. + +One day, Mom and Dad ask them to polish the table and the chairs before the meal. Ben and Jen say no. They want to play more. Mom and Dad are sad and angry. They say, "If you do not polish the table and the chairs, you will not get any meal. You will go to bed hungry." + +Ben and Jen do not care. They think Mom and Dad are joking. They keep playing. Mom and Dad go to the kitchen and make a yummy meal. They smell the food and feel hungry. They go to the dining room and see the table and the chairs are dirty and dusty. They are not polished. + +Mom and Dad sit down and eat the meal. They do not call Ben and Jen. Ben and Jen hear the sound of forks and spoons. They wonder what Mom and Dad are eating. They go to the dining room and see the meal. They see pizza, salad, chicken, and cake. They want to eat too. They say, "Mom, Dad, can we have some meal?" + +Mom and Dad look at them and say, "No, you cannot. You did not polish the table and the chairs. You were lazy. You did not help us with the house. You do not deserve the meal. You can go to bed hungry." + +Ben and Jen feel sorry and ashamed. They realize they were wrong. They say, "Mom, Dad, we are sorry. We were lazy. We should have polished the table and the chairs. We should have helped you with the house. Please forgive us. Please let us have some meal." + +Mom and Dad see that Ben and Jen are sincere. They say, "We forgive you. But you have to learn your lesson. You have to be helpful and not lazy. You have to respect and obey us. You can have some meal, but only a little. And tomorrow, you have to polish the table and the chairs and do other chores." + +Ben and Jen agree. They say, "Thank you, Mom, Dad. We love you. We will be helpful and not lazy. We will respect and obey you." They have some meal, but only a little. They go to bed and sleep. They dream of being good twins. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun until they saw a big dog coming towards them. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. + +"Look, a dog!" Ben said. "Can we pet it?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it is not friendly. Maybe it will bite us." + +They were worried about the dog. They did not know what to do. They wanted to run away, but they did not want to leave their ball. They hoped the dog had an owner who would arrive soon and take it away. + +The dog came closer and closer. It sniffed the ball and licked it. Then it looked at Ben and Lily and wagged its tail more. It seemed to want to play with them. + +"Hi, doggy," Ben said bravely. He reached out his hand to touch the dog's head. The dog licked his hand and nuzzled his face. Ben smiled and laughed. "He is nice, Lily. He likes us." + +Lily was still scared. She stayed behind Ben and held his shirt. She did not want to touch the dog. She thought the dog was dirty and had fleas. She felt an itch on her leg and scratched it. + +"Are you sure, Ben?" she asked. "What if he has germs? What if he makes us sick?" + +Ben shook his head. He did not care about germs. He liked the dog. He threw the ball and the dog ran after it. He brought it back and dropped it at Ben's feet. Ben threw it again and again. The dog chased it and brought it back. They were having fun. + +Lily watched them and felt left out. She wanted to play with Ben, but she did not want to play with the dog. She wished the dog would go away. She wished someone would arrive and take the dog away. + +Then she saw a man walking towards them. He had a leash in his hand and a smile on his face. He called the dog by its name. + +"Rex, come here, boy. Where have you been? I've been looking for you." + +The dog heard the man and ran to him. He jumped on him and licked his face. The man hugged the dog and put the leash on him. + +"Sorry, kids," the man said. "He escaped from the backyard. He loves to play with balls. He didn't mean to bother you." + +Ben and Lily looked at the man and the dog. They felt different things. + +Ben felt sad. He liked the dog. He wanted to play with him more. He wished the dog could stay with them. + +Lily felt relieved. She did not like the dog. She wanted to play with Ben. She was glad the dog was leaving with the man. + +"Bye, Rex," Ben said. He waved to the dog and the man. He hoped to see them again. + +"Bye, doggy," Lily said. She did not wave. She did not care. + +They watched the man and the dog walk away. Then they looked at each other and their ball. + +"Can we play again?" Ben asked. + +"OK," Lily said. + +They kicked the ball to each other and ran after it. They were having fun. They forgot about the dog. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jar of honey on the shelf. They wanted to taste the honey. They climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. + +"Be careful, Lily. The jar is heavy," Tom said. + +"I can do it, Tom. I want the honey," Lily said. + +But the jar was too heavy for Lily. She dropped it on the floor. The jar broke and the honey spilled everywhere. Lily and Tom were sticky and messy. + +"Oh no, Lily. Look what you did. Mom will be angry," Tom said. + +Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to break the jar. She wanted to make Tom happy. She wanted to share the honey with him. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry, Mom. I did a bad thing. I was greedy," Lily said. + +Tom saw that Lily was sad. He was not angry with her. He was her brother. He loved her. + +"It's okay, Lily. We all make mistakes. We can clean up the mess. We can say sorry to Mom. Maybe she will forgive us. Maybe she will give us some honey later," Tom said. + +He hugged Lily and gave her a kiss. Lily smiled and hugged him back. They tasted honey on their mouths. It was sweet and good. They were happy. They were sorry. They were family. +Jill and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They had a goal: to grow a big and pretty flower. They planted a seed in a pot and watered it every day. They waited and waited for the seed to bloom. + +One day, they saw a tiny green sprout in the pot. They were very happy and clapped their hands. "Look, look, our flower is growing!" Jill said. "Yes, yes, it is!" Ben said. They hugged each other and danced around the pot. + +But then, a naughty cat came and knocked over the pot. The dirt and the sprout fell on the ground. The cat ran away, leaving a filthy mess. Jill and Ben were very sad and angry. They cried and shouted. "Bad cat, bad cat, you ruined our flower!" Jill said. "Go away, go away, you are not our friend!" Ben said. + +They picked up the pot and the sprout and tried to fix them. They put the dirt and the sprout back in the pot and watered them again. They hoped that the flower would still bloom. They hugged each other and said sorry. "It's okay, it's okay, we still have our goal," Jill said. "Yes, yes, we do, and we have each other," Ben said. They smiled and kissed the pot. They waited and waited for the flower to bloom. +Tommy was a spoiled boy who did not like school. He always cried and made noise when his mom took him to school. He did not want to learn or play with the other kids. He only wanted to watch TV and eat candy. + +One day, Tommy had a new teacher, Miss Lily. She was very kind and patient, but she did not let Tommy disturb the class. She told him to sit quietly and listen to the story. She said, "Tommy, if you are good, you can have a sticker and a snack later. But if you are bad, you will have to go to the time-out corner. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded, but he did not care. He thought Miss Lily was boring and mean. He decided to make trouble and have fun. He threw his crayons at the other kids. He ripped his paper and shouted. He ran around the room and knocked over the books. He disturbed everyone and made them angry and sad. + +Miss Lily was very upset. She said, "Tommy, you are being very naughty and rude. You are not listening to me or your friends. You are spoiling the fun for everyone. You need to go to the time-out corner right now and think about what you did. You will not get a sticker or a snack today. You will also have to say sorry to the class. Do you understand?" + +Tommy did not like that. He did not want to go to the time-out corner. He did not want to say sorry. He did not want to miss the sticker and the snack. He realized he had made a big mistake. He felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "Miss Lily, I am sorry. I was bad. I will not disturb the class again. I will be good. Please, can I have a sticker and a snack?" + +Miss Lily smiled and said, "Tommy, I am glad you are sorry. But you still have to go to the time-out corner for a few minutes and think about how to be nice and respectful. Then you can come back and join the class. You can have a sticker and a snack tomorrow, if you are good. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Lily. I understand. Thank you." He went to the time-out corner and sat quietly. He thought about how to be a good boy and a good friend. He learned his lesson and did not disturb the class again. He also started to like school and Miss Lily more. He became a happier and better boy. +Lily and Lila were twins. They looked the same and liked the same things. They always played together and shared their toys. They were happy. + +One day, a new girl came to their preschool. Her name was Mia. She had long brown hair and blue eyes. She was shy and did not talk much. She sat by herself in a corner. + +Lily and Lila saw Mia and wanted to be her friend. They went to her and said hello. They asked her if she wanted to play with them. They showed her their dolls and cars and books. + +Mia looked at them and smiled. She nodded and said yes. She took a doll and hugged it. She said she liked dolls. + +Lily and Lila were glad. They accepted Mia as their new friend. They played with her and taught her their games and songs. They gave her some of their snacks and stickers. They made her laugh. + +Mia was happy. She thanked Lily and Lila for being nice to her. She said they were the best twins ever. She said she wanted to be their friend forever. + +Lily and Lila hugged Mia and said they wanted that too. They said they loved her. They said she was like their sister. + +The teacher saw them and smiled. She was proud of Lily and Lila for being kind and welcoming. She was happy for Mia for finding friends. She said they were a good example for the other kids. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. It was dry and shiny. They wanted to go on it. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lily said. + +"OK, but we have to be quick. It is almost night." Tom said. + +They ran to the slide. Lily went first. She sat on the top and slid down. She felt the wind in her hair. She laughed. + +"Your turn, Tom!" she said. + +Tom climbed up the slide. He was not as brave as Lily. He looked down and felt scared. He saw how high and steep the slide was. + +"Come on, Tom! It's fun!" Lily said. + +Tom tried to be brave. He pushed himself off the slide. He slid down very fast. He felt his tummy drop. He screamed. + +But he did not reach the end of the slide. There was a hole in the middle. Tom fell through the hole. He hit the ground hard. He felt a lot of pain. He cried. + +Lily heard Tom cry. She ran to the hole. She saw Tom lying on the ground. He was bleeding. He was not moving. + +"Tom! Tom! Are you OK?" she said. + +But Tom did not answer. He was too hurt. He was gone. + +Lily felt very sad. She wished they had not gone on the slide. She wished they had gone home before night. She wished she had not pushed Tom to be brave. She wished she could say sorry to Tom. + +But it was too late. The night was dark and cold. The slide was dry and silent. Lily was alone and scared. She cried and cried. +Lily liked to grow pumpkins in her garden. She planted seeds in the spring and watered them every day. She watched them grow bigger and bigger until they were orange and round. She was very proud of her pumpkins. + +One day, she decided to pick one of her pumpkins and make a pie. She asked her mom to help her. They cut the pumpkin and scooped out the seeds. They put the seeds in a bowl to roast later. They mashed the pumpkin and mixed it with milk, eggs, sugar and spices. They poured the mixture into a crust and baked it in the oven. It smelled very good. + +Lily wanted to share her pie with her friend Ben, who lived next door. She put the pie on a plate and covered it with a cloth. She told her mom she was going to Ben's house. She took the pie and walked to Ben's door. She knocked and waited. + +But Ben did not open the door. Lily heard a harsh voice from inside. It was Ben's dad. He sounded angry. He said, "Go away! We don't want any visitors! Leave us alone!" Lily felt scared and sad. She did not know why Ben's dad was so mean. She turned around and walked back to her house. + +She returned the pie to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Ben's dad is not very nice. He has a lot of problems. Maybe he will feel better someday. But you did a very kind thing. You made a delicious pie and wanted to share it. That's what friends do. Why don't we eat the pie together and enjoy it?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She cut a slice of pie for herself and one for her mom. They ate the pie and it was very yummy.

I am very smart and brave." + +Ben says, "I am a lawyer too. I help people who have problems. I am very smart and brave." + +They admire each other.

You are making a mess. You are not lawyers. You are just kids. Stop playing with my book and my pen. Go to your room." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They do not like their dad's words. They do not understand why he is grumpy. They do not want to stop playing. + +They say, "But dad, we are lawyers. We help people who have problems. We are very smart and brave." + +Their dad sighs. He sees their faces. He feels sorry. He remembers when he was a kid. He liked to play pretend too. + +He says, "I'm sorry, kids. I was grumpy. I had a bad day at work. But you are right. You are lawyers. You help people who have problems. You are very smart and brave. And I admire you. Can I play with you?" + +Anna and Ben smile. They are happy. They like their dad's words. They understand that he is not grumpy anymore. They want to play with him. + +They say, "Yes, dad. You can play with us. You are a lawyer too. You help people who have problems.

The yacht was white and blue, and it had a sail and a wheel. Sam and Lily pretended that they were sailors and went on adventures with their yacht. + +One day, they decided to play with their yacht in the bathtub. They filled the tub with water and soap bubbles, and put their yacht in. They made waves with their hands and blew on the sail. The yacht moved fast and slow, left and right, in the water. Sam and Lily laughed and had fun. + +"Look, Lily, our yacht is so popular!" Sam said. "All the bubbles want to be friends with it. They stick to it and make it shiny." + +"Yes, Sam, our yacht is very popular. But it also needs to rest sometimes. Let's lay it on the towel and dry it with our hair dryer." Lily said. + +"Okay, Lily, that's a good idea. We don't want our yacht to get wet and cold." Sam said. They took their yacht out of the tub and lay it on the towel. They got their hair dryer and turned it on. They dried their yacht gently and carefully, making sure it was warm and cozy. + +"Good night, yacht. Thank you for playing with us. We love you." Sam and Lily said. They kissed their yacht and put it in their toy box. They got ready for bed and lay down in their own beds. They closed their eyes and dreamed of sailing with their yacht again. +Lily was a dog who loved to run and play. She had a red ball that she liked to chase and catch. Her owner, Ben, was a boy who liked to throw the ball for her. They were best friends and had fun together. + +One day, they went to the park with the ball. Ben threw the ball far and Lily ran after it. She saw a big tree and a small hole under it. She thought the ball might be in the hole, so she went inside. She found the ball, but she also found a cat. The cat was black and white and had green eyes. It hissed at Lily and scratched her nose. + +"Ow!" Lily barked. "That hurts! Give me my ball!" + +"Meow!" the cat said. "This is my ball! Go away!" + +Lily and the cat started to fight over the ball. They pulled and pushed and bit and scratched. They made a lot of noise and dirt. They did not see Ben coming to look for them. + +Ben heard the noise and saw the hole. He called for Lily, but she did not come out. He was worried and scared. He crawled into the hole and saw Lily and the cat. He grabbed the ball and said, "Stop! This is Lily's ball! You are being mean!" + +The cat let go of the ball and ran away. Lily was happy to see Ben. She licked his face and wagged her tail. Ben hugged her and said, "Are you okay, Lily? You are a brave dog. I am proud of you." + +Lily and Ben came out of the hole. They were dirty and tired, but they were also happy. They went home with the ball. They had a bath and a snack. They cuddled on the couch and watched a movie. They were best friends and had fun together. +Lily liked to read the newspaper with her dad every morning. She learned many interesting things from the newspaper, like the names of animals, places, and people. She also liked to look at the pictures and the comics. + +One day, Lily saw a newspaper on the floor of her living room. She thought it was the one that her dad had read with her, but it was not. It was a different newspaper that her mom had brought home from work. Lily did not know that. She picked up the newspaper and started to read it. + +She saw a big headline that said "Bad Man Robs Bank". She saw a picture of a man with a mask and a gun. She felt scared and curious.

She thought it was the name of a story. She wanted to read the story. She opened the newspaper and saw nothing. It was blank. There was no story. There was no end. + +She felt disappointed and cheated. She threw the newspaper on the floor and started to cry. Her mom heard her and came to see what was wrong. She saw the newspaper and realized what had happened. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, honey. This is not the newspaper that you read with your dad. This is a fake newspaper that I use for my work. It has no real stories. It has no end. It is only for pretending." + +Lily looked at her mom and said, "But why do you pretend with a fake newspaper? It is not fun. It is not interesting. It is not nice." + +Her mom said, "You are right, Lily. It is not fun, interesting, or nice to pretend with a fake newspaper. It is only for my work. Sometimes I have to pretend with a fake newspaper to teach people how to write real stories. But you don't have to pretend with a fake newspaper. You can read real stories with your dad. You can learn real things from the real newspaper. You can have fun, interesting, and nice times with the real newspaper." + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I understand. I don't want to read the fake newspaper anymore. I want to read the real newspaper with dad. Can we do that tomorrow?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. We can do that tomorrow. And every day after that. But for now, let's put the fake newspaper away. And let's find something else to do. Something that is fun, interesting, and nice. Something that has a good end." + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I like that idea. What can we do?" + +Her mom said, "How about we play with your toys? Or we read a book? Or we draw a picture? Or we bake a cake?" + +Lily said, "Yes, yes, yes, and yes! Let's do all of that! That sounds fun, interesting, and nice. That sounds like a good end." + +Her mom said, "Yes, Lily. That sounds like a good end. A very good end." + +The moral of the story is: Don't be fooled by fake things. They can make you feel bad and unhappy. Look for real things. They can make you feel good and happy. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pond near their house. It looked shiny and cool in the sun. They wanted to bathe in the pond and have fun. + +"Let's go to the pond, Tom!" Lily said. "We can splash and swim and make bubbles." + +"OK, Lily!" Tom said. "But we have to be careful. Mom said there are fish and frogs and other things in the pond. They might not like us." + +They ran to the pond and took off their shoes and socks. They dipped their toes in the water. It felt nice and cold. They giggled and jumped in. They started to bathe in the pond. + +But soon, they felt something tickle their feet. They looked down and saw little fish nibbling their toes. They screamed and tried to shoo them away. But the fish kept coming. They were hungry and curious. + +"Help, Lily! The fish are biting me!" Tom said. + +"Help, Tom! The fish are biting me too!" Lily said. + +They were scared and confused. They did not know what to do. They wanted to get out of the pond. But they did not see their shoes and socks. They had floated away with the water.

Mr. Johnson's house was completely destroyed. + +Lily felt very sad and cried. She asked Mr. Johnson if he was okay, but he just looked at her with a sad face. "I lost everything," he said.

He did not like to lose his spear or be told what to do. But he knew mom was right. He said, "Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Mia." He did not sound very sorry, but he said it anyway. + +Mom said, "Thank you. Now, you can play with Tom and Mia if you want, but you have to be nice and share. Or you can go to another part of the park and find something else to do. But no more spears, okay?" + +The big boy nodded and walked away. He did not want to play with Tom and Mia. He wanted to find another spear and another slide. He hoped no one would bother him again. + +Tom and Mia hugged mom and thanked her. They said, "You are the best, mom. You are so strong and brave. We love you." + +Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, my sweeties. Now, let's go back to the slide and have some more fun." + +They went back to the slide and slid down again and again. They had a lot of fun and made some new friends. They forgot about the big boy and his spear. They were happy and safe. +Ben was a wealthy boy who had many toys and clothes. He liked to whistle when he played with his cars and trains. He had a big house with a garden and a pool. He was happy most of the time, but sometimes he felt lonely. + +One day, he saw a girl outside his gate. She had a dirty dress and no shoes. She was holding a doll with a missing eye. She looked sad and hungry. Ben felt curious and sorry for her. He opened the gate and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" + +The girl looked up and smiled. She said, "I'm Mia. I like your whistle. It sounds nice." + +Ben smiled back and said, "Thank you. Do you want to play with me? I have many toys and clothes. You can have some if you like." + +Mia nodded and followed Ben inside. They played with his cars and trains and dolls. They had fun and laughed. Ben gave Mia a new dress and shoes and a doll with two eyes. Mia was very happy and thanked Ben. + +They became friends and played every day. Ben was not lonely anymore. Mia was not sad anymore. But one day, Mia did not come. Ben waited and waited, but she did not show up. He felt worried and sad. He asked his mom, "Where is Mia? Why is she not here?" + +His mom said, "I'm sorry, Ben. Mia and her family had to move away. They were very poor and had no home. They had to find a new place to live. Maybe you can write her a letter and send her a whistle. She will remember you and be happy." + +Ben felt a big itch in his heart. He missed Mia very much. He wanted to see her and play with her again. He said, "Okay, mom. I will write her a letter and send her a whistle. I hope she is okay and finds a good home. I hope she is still my friend." + +He went to his room and wrote a letter and wrapped a whistle. He gave it to his mom and asked her to mail it. He hoped Mia would get it and write back. He hoped they would meet again someday. He whistled a sad song and hugged his doll. He wished Mia was there. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big red ball on the grass. Lily wants the ball. She runs to get it. + +"Stop!" Tom says. "That is not your ball. That is someone else's ball. You cannot take it." + +But Lily does not listen. She grabs the ball and runs away. Tom follows her. + +A man sees Lily and Tom. He is angry. He is the owner of the ball. He calls a cop. The cop comes and catches Lily and Tom. + +"Give me back my ball!" the man says. "You are bad kids. You stole my ball." + +Lily is scared. She is sorry. She gives back the ball. She says, "I am sorry. I was wrong. I should not take things that are not mine." + +The cop is kind. He says, "You are lucky. The man is not mad. He does not want you to go to jail. Jail is a bad place. It is small and dark and sad. You do not want to go to jail. You want to be good and free and happy. Next time, do not steal. Ask before you take. Share and be nice." + +Lily and Tom nod. They say, "Yes, sir. We will not steal again. We will ask and share and be nice." + +The cop lets them go. They hug and say sorry to each other. They go back to the park. They play with the ball. The man lets them play. He is happy. They are happy. They are friends. +Ben and Tim are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they see a big steel truck in the park. It is shiny and red. They want to play with it. + +They ask the man who has the truck if they can play with it. The man says yes, but they have to pay him. He says the truck is not cheap. He wants five coins for one minute. Ben and Tim only have two coins each. They are sad. + +They decide to play with the truck anyway. They think the man will not see them. They take the truck and run to the sandbox. They have fun with the truck. They make noises and dig holes. They forget about the time. + +The man sees them. He is angry. He runs to the sandbox and grabs the truck. He yells at Ben and Tim. He says they are bad and they have to pay him. He wants ten coins now. Ben and Tim do not have ten coins. They are scared. + +The man takes their coins and their other toys. He says they are his now. He leaves with the truck and the toys. Ben and Tim are left with nothing. They cry. They wish they did not play with the truck. They wish they listened to the man. They learned a hard lesson. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a big green worm and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a worm!" Lily said. + +Ben stared at the worm. He did not like worms. He thought they were yucky and slimy. + +"Put it down, Lily. It is poison!" Ben said. + +Lily did not believe Ben. She thought the worm was great. She wanted to keep it as a pet. + +"No, Ben, it is not poison. It is great. I will call it Wally," Lily said. + +She put the worm in a jar and gave it some leaves. She smiled at Wally and hugged the jar. + +Ben shook his head. He did not want to play with Lily and Wally. He went to find his ball and his bike. He liked to play with them. He thought they were fun and cool. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and make things. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They think it is a good object to use for their game. + +"Let's make a spaceship!" Tom says. He is very creative. He gets some paper, scissors and tape. He cuts and sticks the paper on the box. He makes windows, wings and a door. + +"Let's make a rocket!" Mia says. She is also very creative. She gets some cardboard, paint and glue. She cuts and paints the cardboard. She glues it on the top of the box. She makes a cone, a flame and a flag. + +They finish their spaceship and rocket. They are very happy. They go inside the box and pretend to fly to the moon. + +"Ready for blast off!" Tom says. + +"Three, two, one, go!" Mia says. + +They make noises and move the box. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a loud voice. It is Tom's mom. She is angry. + +"Tom, Mia, what have you done?" she says. "That box was for the charity. It had clothes and toys for the poor children. You have ruined it!" + +Tom and Mia are scared. They come out of the box. They see the mess they have made. They feel bad. + +"We are sorry, mom," Tom says. + +"We didn't know, mom," Mia says. + +They worry that they have done something wrong. They worry that the poor children will have nothing. + +Tom's mom is still angry. But she is also kind. She sees that Tom and Mia are sorry. She sees that they are creative. She has an idea. + +"Listen, kids," she says. "You have made a mistake. But you can fix it. You can use your creativity to help the poor children. You can make new clothes and toys from the paper, cardboard and paint. You can decorate them and write nice messages. You can put them in a new box and give them to the charity. What do you think?" + +Tom and Mia think. They like the idea. They want to help the poor children. They want to make them happy. + +"Okay, mom," they say. "We will do it." + +They smile. They hug Tom's mom. They get to work. + +They learn a lesson. They learn that they should not use things that are not theirs. They learn that they should be careful and respectful. They learn that they can use their creativity for good. They learn that they can make a difference. +Lily was a pretty girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big castle for her dolls, with many rooms and windows. She was very happy with her castle, and did not want to share it with anyone. + +One day, her brother Tom came to her room and saw her castle. He wanted to play with it too, but Lily said no. She said it was her castle, and he could not touch it. Tom was angry, and he waited for Lily to go to the kitchen. Then he sneaked into her room and took her castle. He ran to the backyard and threw it on the ground. He stomped on it and broke it into pieces. + +Lily heard a loud noise and ran to the backyard. She saw her castle destroyed and her brother laughing. She cried and screamed, and ran to tell her mom. Her mom came and saw what Tom had done. She was very mad, and she punished Tom. She took away his toys and sent him to his room. She said he could not come out until he said sorry to Lily and helped her fix her castle. + +But Tom did not say sorry, and he did not help Lily. He was still angry, and he did not care about her castle. He stayed in his room and sulked. He had no toys to play with, and no one to talk to. He was very bored and lonely. + +Lily tried to fix her castle, but it was too broken. She could not make it look like before. She was very sad, and she missed her castle. She had no fun to play with, and no one to share it with. She was very bored and lonely too. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Lily had a big red block that she wanted to put on top of her tower. But Ben wanted the red block too. He tried to grab it from Lily's hand. + +"Mine!" Lily shouted. "I saw it first!" + +"No, mine!" Ben yelled. "I need it for my car!" + +They pulled and pushed the block until it fell on the floor. It broke into two pieces. Lily and Ben both cried. + +Mom came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken block and the sad children. She was not happy. + +"You need to share and be nice," she said. "Now you have to go to your rooms and think about what you did." + +Lily and Ben went to their rooms. They were angry and sorry. They wanted to play with the block and with each other. But they could not. + +Lily's room was very bright. The sun was shining through the window. She felt hot and uncomfortable. She wished she had some shade to cool down. + +Ben's room was very dark. The curtains were closed. He felt cold and scared. He wished he had some light to cheer up. + +They both looked at the broken block in their hands. It did not fit anything anymore. It was useless and ugly. They wished they had not fought over it. They wished they had said sorry and made up. But they did not. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and dolls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it. + +"Me first!" Lila says. She climbs up the ladder and slides down. She smiles. It is fun. + +"Me next!" Ben says. He follows Lila and slides down. He smiles too. + +They take turns sliding and smiling. They are happy. + +But then, a big boy comes. He is mean. He pushes Lila and Ben away from the slide. + +"This is my slide!" he says. "Go away!" + +Lila and Ben are sad. They do not like the big boy. He is not nice. + +They look at their moms. Their moms see what is happening. They come to help. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lila's mom says. "You cannot push other kids. That is not fair." + +"Yeah, you have to share the slide." Ben's mom says. "There is enough room for everyone." + +The big boy is angry. He does not want to share. He makes a face and stomps away. + +Lila and Ben are glad. They hug their moms. They say thank you. + +They go back to the slide. They slide and smile again. They are happy. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Be nice to others. Do not be mean. +Tim and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big scale that could weigh people and animals. They wanted to try it and see how much they weighed. + +"Let's go on the scale, Mia!" Tim said. "I want to know how much I weigh." + +"OK, Tim. But be careful. The scale is very high and we need to climb up," Mia said. + +They climbed up the scale and stood on it. The scale showed a number. Tim and Mia could not read the number, but they saw that it was big. + +"Wow, we weigh a lot!" Tim said. "We are very strong and big!" + +They were happy and proud of themselves. They wanted to weigh something else. They looked around and saw a peanut on the ground. It was very small and brown. + +"Look, Mia! A peanut!" Tim said. "Let's weigh the peanut and see how much it weighs." + +"OK, Tim. But how can we weigh the peanut? It is so small and the scale is so big," Mia said. + +"I have an idea. We can put the peanut on the scale and then we can jump off. Then the scale will show how much the peanut weighs," Tim said. + +"OK, Tim. But be quick. We don't want to lose the peanut," Mia said. + +They put the peanut on the scale and jumped off. They looked at the scale. The scale showed a number. Tim and Mia could not read the number, but they saw that it was very small. + +"Wow, the peanut weighs very little!" Tim said. "It is very light and small!" + +They were curious and amazed by the peanut. They wanted to see it closer. They climbed up the scale again and reached for the peanut. + +But the peanut was not a peanut. It was an unusual bug that looked like a peanut. It had wings and eyes and teeth. It was angry and scared by Tim and Mia. It flew up and bit them on their noses. + +"Ouch!" Tim and Mia screamed. "The peanut is a bug! The bug is biting us!" + +They ran away from the scale and the bug. They had red and swollen noses. They were hurt and sad. They did not like the peanut bug. They did not like the scale. They did not like the park. They wanted to go home. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play soccer with other kids. Tom is a good player. He can kick the ball far and run fast. Sam is not a good player. He is slow and clumsy. He often misses the ball or falls down. + +One day, they join a team for a soccer game. Tom is happy. He thinks he will score many goals. Sam is nervous. He thinks he will make mistakes. The other kids laugh at Sam. They say he is a bad player. They do not want him on their team. + +Tom sees Sam is sad. He says to him, "Do not listen to them. You are my friend. You can play with me. I will help you. We will have fun." Sam smiles. He says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I will try my best." + +The game starts. Tom and Sam play together. Tom passes the ball to Sam. Sam tries to kick the ball. He misses the ball. The other kids laugh. Tom says, "It is okay, Sam. Try again." He passes the ball to Sam again. Sam tries to kick the ball. He hits the ball. The ball flies in the air. It goes over the heads of the other players. It lands in the goal. Sam scores a goal. The other kids are surprised. They say, "Wow, Sam. That was a good kick. That was an unusual goal. You are a good player." + +Sam is happy. He says, "Thank you, Tom. You helped me. You are a good player and a good friend." Tom is happy too. He says, "You are welcome, Sam. You did it. You managed to score a goal. You are a good player and a good friend too." + +The moral of the story is: Be kind to your friends. Help them when they need it. Do not judge them by their skills. Everyone can do something good. Everyone can have fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two stones for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look at our snowman, he is so nice!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is. But he looks cold. Maybe we should give him some hair to keep him warm," Tom said. + +They looked around and saw a big pine tree. They ran to the tree and pulled some needles. They stuck the needles on the snowman's head. They made him long green hair. + +"There, now he has hair. He looks funny," Lily said. + +They laughed and hugged the snowman. But then they felt something. The snowman was very cold. He was icy. They shivered. + +"Brrr, he is too cold. Let's go inside and have some hot chocolate," Tom said. + +They said goodbye to the snowman and ran to the house. They did not see the snowman's eyes. They were not stones. They were buttons. And they blinked. The snowman was alive. He smiled and winked. He liked his new hair. He was not cold. He was happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with their dog, Spot. Spot is a loyal dog. He always follows them and helps them. He likes to taste their treats, too. + +One day, Lily and Ben find a big bag of treats in the kitchen. They want to share them with Spot. But their mom says, "No, these are not for Spot. These are for Grandma. She is sick and needs some treats to feel better. You can give Spot some of his own treats later." + +Lily and Ben are sad. They love Grandma, but they also love Spot. They think he deserves some treats, too. They sneak some treats from the bag and hide them in their pockets. Then they go outside to play with Spot. + +They give Spot some treats and he is very happy. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He tastes the treats and thinks they are yummy. Lily and Ben smile and hug him. They think they are good friends. + +But then their mom comes outside and sees them. She is angry. She says, "What are you doing? Why did you take Grandma's treats? That was very naughty. You should not lie and steal. You should respect Grandma and her things. How would you feel if someone took your treats?" + +Lily and Ben feel ashamed. They look at Spot and see that he is sick. He is coughing and drooling. He does not look happy anymore. He looks sad and hurt. Lily and Ben realize that Grandma's treats were not good for Spot. They were bad for him. They hurt him. + +They say sorry to their mom and to Spot. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, Spot. We were selfish and foolish. We did not think about Grandma or Spot. We only thought about ourselves. We will not do it again. We love you both. Please forgive us." + +Their mom hugs them and says, "I forgive you, my children. But you have to learn from your mistake. You have to be honest and kind. You have to care for others and their needs. You have to be loyal to your family and your friends. That is what makes you good friends." + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will be better friends. We will be loyal to Grandma and to Spot. We will give them what they need, not what we want. We will make them happy, not sad." + +They go to Spot and pet him. They give him some water and some of his own treats. They say, "We are sorry, Spot. We love you, Spot. You are a loyal dog. You are our best friend." + +Spot wags his tail and licks their faces. He feels better. He forgives them. He loves them, too. He is a loyal dog. He is their best friend. +Lily and Tom were very hungry. They wanted to find some food. They saw a big house with a lot of windows. They thought there might be food inside. + +They marched to the door and knocked. A lady opened the door. She looked angry. "Who are you? What do you want?" she asked. + +"We are hungry. Do you have any food?" Lily said. + +The lady shook her head. "No, I don't have any food for you. Go away!" she said. + +"But we are very hungry. Please, can we have some food?" Tom said. + +The lady slammed the door. She did not want to share. Lily and Tom felt sad. They marched away from the house. + +They saw a big tree with a lot of apples. They thought the apples might be food. They ran to the tree and tried to reach the apples. + +But the tree was too high. They could not get the apples. They saw a ladder next to the tree. They thought the ladder might help them. + +They climbed the ladder and picked some apples. They were happy. They thought the apples would be amazing. + +But they were wrong. The apples were bad. They were sour and rotten. They made Lily and Tom sick. They spit out the apples and cried. + +They wished they had found some good food. They wished the lady had been nice. They wished they had not climbed the tree. They wished they had stayed home. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Anna says. "You can go with me." + +"No, no, no!" Ben says. "It is too high and too fast. I do not want to go on the slide." + +Anna tries to pull Ben by his hand, but he resists. He holds on to his pocket, where he has his toy car. He likes his toy car. It is red and shiny. + +"Please, Ben, do not be afraid," Anna says. "I will hold you and we will go slowly. You can bring your toy car with you. It will be like a race." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes races. He likes his toy car. He looks at Anna. She is his friend. She smiles at him. + +"Okay, okay," Ben says. "But only once. And you have to hold me tight." + +Anna nods. She takes Ben's hand and they climb up the stairs. Ben holds his toy car in his pocket. He feels nervous, but also excited. + +They reach the top of the slide. Anna sits down and puts Ben on her lap. She wraps her arms around him. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben says. + +They push off and slide down. They go fast and feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream. Ben's toy car makes a vroom-vroom sound in his pocket. + +They reach the bottom of the slide. They are happy and proud. They hug each other. + +"That was fun, Anna!" Ben says. "Can we go again?" + +"Sure, Ben, sure!" Anna says. "Let's go again!" +One day, Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had many toys, like cars, dolls, balls and blocks. They liked to make different things with their toys, like houses, roads, castles and animals. + +But then, a thief came to the garden. He was a big and mean boy, who wanted to take their toys. He saw Tom and Lily playing and he sneaked behind them. He grabbed a bag and put some of their toys inside. He thought they would not notice. + +But Tom and Lily saw him. They shouted, "Stop! That is our bag! Those are our toys! Give them back!" They ran after the thief, who was scared. He dropped the bag and ran away. But the bag was open, and the toys fell out. They scattered all over the garden. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They had to pick up their toys, but it was difficult. They were everywhere, and some were dirty or broken. They wished the thief had not come. They said to each other, "We do not like thieves. They are bad and rude. They should not take things that are not theirs." + +They hugged each other and decided to share their toys. They said, "We are happy we have each other. We are good and kind. We like to play together." They smiled and continued to play with their toys, but they also looked around, in case the thief came back. They hoped he would not. +Ben loves to create things with his toys. He has many blocks, cars, animals and balls. He likes to make houses, roads, farms and games. One day, he decides to create a football game with his toys. + +He takes a big ball and puts it in the middle of the floor. He chooses some cars and animals to be the players. He makes two teams: red and blue. He says, "This is the red team. They have a lion, a bear, a truck and a car. This is the blue team. They have a tiger, a monkey, a bus and a bike. They will play football with the ball. They have to kick the ball into the goal. The goal is a box." + +He picks up the lion and makes it roar. He says, "I am the lion. I am the captain of the red team. I am strong and fast. I will kick the ball first." He moves the lion towards the ball and pretends to kick it. He says, "Go, go, go! The ball is flying to the goal!" + +He picks up the tiger and makes it growl. He says, "I am the tiger. I am the captain of the blue team. I am fierce and smart. I will stop the ball." He moves the tiger towards the ball and pretends to catch it. He says, "No, no, no! The ball is mine! I will kick it back!" + +Ben has fun creating the football game with his toys. He makes them run, jump, kick and score. He cheers for both teams. He says, "This is a great game! The red team and the blue team are both good. They are playing hard and fair. They are having fun." + +Ben's mom comes into the room and sees his game. She smiles and says, "Wow, Ben, you are very creative. You made a football game with your toys. That is adorable. Can I play with you?" Ben nods and says, "Yes, mom, you can play. You can be the referee. You can blow the whistle and say who wins." Ben's mom picks up a whistle and says, "OK, Ben, let's play. Ready, set, go!" Ben and his mom play the football game with his toys. They laugh and hug. They are happy. +Tom and Sue wanted to play with the new toy car that their dad bought for them. It was red and shiny and had four big wheels. They took it to the park and drove it on the grass and the dirt. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they saw a big stone on the ground. It was round and smooth and had a hole in the middle. Tom had an idea. He said to Sue, "Let's see if the car can fit in the hole. It will be like a tunnel." + +Sue agreed. She said, "That sounds fun. Let's try it." They pushed the car towards the stone and tried to make it go through the hole. But the car was too big. It got stuck in the hole and they could not pull it out. + +They tried to wiggle it and twist it and shake it, but it did not move. They started to cry. They wanted their car back. They did not like the stone. + +A man was walking by and saw them. He asked them, "What's wrong, kids? Why are you crying?" + +They told him, "We tried to make our car fit in the stone, but it got stuck. We can't get it out. It's our new toy car. Our dad bought it for us. It's not cheap. It's very nice." + +The man looked at the car and the stone. He said, "I'm sorry, kids, but I can't help you. The car is too big and the stone is too hard. You should not have done that. You should have been careful with your toy. Now it's broken. You can't play with it anymore." + +He walked away and left them alone. Tom and Sue felt very sad and sorry. They wished they had not played with the stone. They wished they had listened to their dad. He had told them to be gentle with the car and not to break it. But they did not listen. They were naughty. They lost their car. They had no more fun. The end. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of leaves.

She sang all the time, even when she was not supposed to. She sang in the car, in the bath, in the bed, and in the kitchen. She sang loud and happy songs that made her feel good. + +One day, Lily saw a shiny ornament on the tree. It was red and round and had a star on it. She wanted to touch it and see how it felt. She reached for it with her hand, but it was too high. She got a chair and climbed on it. She stretched her arm and grabbed the ornament. + +But the ornament was not what she thought. It was not shiny and round and starry. It was sticky and squishy and smelly. It was a rotten apple that someone had put on the tree as a joke. Lily screamed and dropped the apple. It splattered on the floor and made a mess. + +Lily felt disgusting. She ran to the sink and washed her hand. She cried and cried. She did not want to sing anymore. She wanted to forget the bad apple. + +Mommy heard Lily and came to see what was wrong. She saw the apple and the chair and the ornament. She understood what had happened.

He whistled when he woke up, when he ate, when he played, and when he went to bed. He whistled happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. He whistled so much that his mom and dad sometimes asked him to be quiet. + +One day, Sam got a new toy. It was a red car that could go fast and make noises. Sam was very excited.

"We can whistle together. Let's go to the park and play with the car and whistle." + +Sam and Lily went to the park. They took turns driving the car and whistling. They had a lot of fun. They whistled loud and soft, high and low, fast and slow. They whistled like birds, like trains, like sirens, and like dogs. + +But they did not see a big dog that was also in the park. The dog heard their whistling and thought they were calling him. He ran towards them, wagging his tail and barking. He wanted to play with them and the car. + +"Look, a dog!" Lily said. "He is big and furry. He likes our whistling." + +"Hi, dog!" Sam said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog nodded and licked Sam's face. He sniffed the car and tried to bite it. Sam and Lily laughed. They petted the dog and gave him a name. + +"Let's call him Pepper," Sam said. "Because he is black and white, like pepper." + +"Pepper is a good name," Lily said. "He is a good dog. He likes our car and our whistling." + +Sam and Lily played with Pepper for a long time. They drove the car, whistled, and threw a ball for him. They had a lot of fun. They made a new friend. They were happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big melon on a table. It is green and round. + +"Look, a melon!" Lily says. "I like melon. It is sweet and juicy." + +"Me too!" Tom says. "Let's taste it." + +They run to the table. They are fast. They grab the melon and cut it with a knife. They each take a big piece and bite it. + +"Mmm, this is good!" Lily says. "It tastes like summer." + +"Yum, yum!" Tom says. "It tastes like candy." + +They eat and eat. They are happy. They do not see the man who owns the melon. He is angry. He comes to the table and sees the children. + +"Hey, you!" he shouts. "That is my melon! You are bad!" + +Lily and Tom are scared. They drop the melon and run away. They are faster than the man. They hide behind a tree. + +"Sorry, mister!" Lily says. "We did not know it was yours." + +"We were hungry!" Tom says. "We like melon." + +The man is still angry. He picks up the melon and leaves. He does not share. + +Lily and Tom are sad. They have no more melon. They look at each other. + +"Maybe we should ask next time," Lily says. + +"Maybe we should say please and thank you," Tom says. + +They nod. They learn a lesson. They are still friends. They go and play. They hope to find more melon. +Tim and Sue were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars and planes and animals.

She grabbed Tim and Sue by their arms and dragged them to their room. She threw them on their beds and shouted, "That's it! You are both in big trouble! No more toys, no more games, no more fun! You will stay in your room and take a nap until dinner! And don't you dare make a sound or you will suffer more!" + +She slammed the door and left them alone. Tim and Sue were scared and sad.

I love you." + +Lily felt better and stopped crying. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to fix it, but I broke it. I love you too." Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily.

He had a blue car in his hand. He smiled at Lily and looked friendly. + +Lily felt nervous and did not answer. She held her car close to her chest and looked away. + +"Please, I like your car. It looks very fast. My car is fast too. We can zoom them together and have fun," the boy said. + +Lily wanted to play, but she was afraid to talk. She wished she was not so shy.

They like to spring on the grass and feel the sunshine on their faces. They see a big tree with many branches. Sara says, "Let's climb the tree! It looks fun!" + +Ben nods and follows Sara. They find a flexible branch that bends when they pull on it. They use it to swing up and down. They laugh and shout, "Whee! We are like monkeys!" + +But then, the branch breaks and they fall to the ground. They are not hurt, but they are dirty and scared. They start to cry. A lady who is walking her dog hears them and comes to help. She says, "Are you OK, children? What happened?" + +Sara and Ben tell her about the branch. The lady says, "I'm sorry, that was a bad branch. It was old and weak. You should be careful when you climb trees. Some branches are not safe." + +She helps them stand up and dust off their clothes. She gives them a hug and a tissue. She says, "Don't worry, you are brave and strong. You can still play in the park, but be more careful next time. And look, the sunshine is still shining. It will make you feel better." + +Sara and Ben smile and thank the lady. They say goodbye to her and her dog. They decide to play on the slide instead of the tree. They still have fun and enjoy the sunshine. They are happy and forget about the branch. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They liked to make loud noises and pretend they were racing. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They had a small can of fuel that they used to fill up their cars. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted, and they zoomed off on the grass. They went around the trees, over the rocks, and under the swing. They had so much fun, they did not see the nosy cat that was watching them from the fence. + +The cat was curious and wanted to play too. He jumped down from the fence and ran towards the can of fuel. He smelled it and licked it. It tasted bad and made him cough. He knocked over the can and spilled the fuel on the grass. + +Lily and Ben saw the cat and the fuel. They stopped their cars and ran to the can. "Bad cat! Go away!" Ben yelled, and threw a stick at the cat. The cat hissed and ran away. + +But the stick hit the can and made a spark. The spark lit the fuel and the grass. A big fire started and made a lot of smoke. Lily and Ben were scared and screamed for help. + +Mom and Dad heard them and came outside. They saw the fire and grabbed the hose. They sprayed water on the fire and put it out. They hugged Lily and Ben and made sure they were okay. + +"Are you hurt? What happened?" Mom asked. + +"The cat did it! He spilled the fuel and made the fire!" Lily said. + +"Where did you get the fuel?" Dad asked. + +"From the garage. We wanted to make our cars go faster," Ben said. + +Mom and Dad looked at each other and shook their heads. They were angry and relieved at the same time. + +"You should never play with fuel. It is very dangerous. You could have burned the house or yourselves. You are very lucky we came in time," Mom said. + +"We're sorry, Mom. We didn't know. We won't do it again," Lily and Ben said. + +Mom and Dad sighed and smiled. They were glad their children were safe. + +"Come on, let's go inside and have some cookies. And then we'll talk about how to play safely with your toys," Dad said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and followed their parents. They were still a little shaken, but also hungry and happy. They had learned a big lesson today. + +As they walked inside, they heard a loud noise from the fence. It was the cat. He was sitting on the fence and clapping his paws. He had enjoyed the show. He was a very nosy and naughty cat. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big gate with a lock. They were curious. + +"Let's see what's behind the gate," Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful," Anna said. + +Tom found a key on the ground. He tried to unlock the gate. It worked! He opened the gate and went inside. Anna followed him. + +Behind the gate, there was a big dog. It was unknown to them. It was angry and loud. It barked and growled. It ran towards them. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Anna screamed. + +They tried to run back to the gate. But the dog was faster. It bit Tom's shirt and pulled him down. It bit Anna's leg and made her bleed. + +No one heard them. No one came to help them. The dog did not stop. Tom and Anna were very scared and hurt. They wished they never unlocked the gate. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big brown cane. It is long and hard. + +"Look, Sara, a cane!" Ben says. "We can use it for many things." + +"Like what?" Sara asks. + +"Like a sword, or a stick, or a fishing rod," Ben says. He picks up the cane and swings it in the air. + +"Be careful, Ben, you might hurt someone," Sara says. She is afraid of the cane. + +Ben does not listen. He runs around the garden with the cane. He pretends to fight with dragons and pirates. He makes loud noises. + +Sara follows him. She wants to play too. She sees a pair of scissors on the table. She has an idea. + +"I know what we can do with the cane," Sara says. She takes the scissors and runs to Ben. + +"What?" Ben asks. He stops swinging the cane. + +"We can cut it into pieces and make something else," Sara says. She holds the scissors near the cane. + +"No, Sara, don't do that!" Ben says. He pulls the cane away from Sara. "The cane is mine. I found it first." + +"But I want to play too," Sara says. She tries to grab the cane back. + +They tug and pull on the cane. They are angry and sad. They do not share. + +Then, the cane breaks. It snaps in the middle. The pieces fall to the ground. + +Sara and Ben look at the broken cane. They feel sorry. They have ruined their toy. + +They look at each other. They hug and say sorry. + +"Let's play together," Sara says. + +"OK," Ben says. + +They pick up the pieces of the cane. They think of what they can make with them. They smile and laugh. They are happy again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a green hat and a carrot nose. They gave him a stick for a mouth and two rocks for eyes. + +"Hello, snowman!" Ben said. "Do you like your hat?" + +The snowman did not say anything. He just smiled with his stick mouth. + +Lily had an idea. She ran to the house and came back with a red scarf. She put the scarf around the snowman's neck. + +"Now you are warm, snowman!" Lily said. "Do you like your scarf?" + +The snowman did not say anything. He just smiled with his stick mouth. + +Ben and Lily were happy. They hugged the snowman and sang a song. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big sleigh in the sky. It was pulled by eight reindeer. On the sleigh, there was a man with a white beard and a red suit. He waved at them and shouted, "Ho ho ho!" + +"Look, Lily, it's Santa!" Ben said. "He is bringing presents!" + +"Maybe he has one for the snowman!" Lily said. "Let's ask him!" + +They ran to the house and knocked on the door. Their mom opened it and smiled. + +"Mom, mom, can we talk to Santa?" Ben and Lily said. "He is flying over our house!" + +"Of course, my loves," their mom said. "But you have to be quick. He is very busy tonight." + +She took them to the living room, where there was a big tree with lights and ornaments. Under the tree, there were many boxes wrapped in colorful paper. + +"Wow, look at all the presents!" Ben said. + +"Maybe one of them is for the snowman!" Lily said. + +Their mom lifted them up and helped them look out of the window. They saw the sleigh land on the roof of their house. They heard Santa's boots on the tiles. They heard him laugh and say, "Ho ho ho!" + +"Santa, Santa, can you hear us?" Ben and Lily shouted. "We have a question for you!" + +They waited for a moment. Then, they heard a voice from the chimney. + +"What is it, my little friends?" Santa said. + +"We made a snowman outside," Ben said. "He has a green hat and a red scarf. Can you give him a present, too?" + +"A snowman, you say?" Santa said. "That sounds very nice. Of course, I can give him a present. What would he like?" + +"Maybe a friend," Lily said. "So he won't be lonely." + +"A friend, huh?" Santa said. "That's a wonderful idea. Let me see what I have in my sack." + +Ben and Lily heard some rustling and jingling. Then, they heard Santa say, "Aha, I found it! Here you go, snowman. A present from me and your friends, Ben and Lily. Merry Christmas!" + +They heard Santa climb up the chimney and get back on his sleigh. They heard him say, "Ho ho ho!" and fly away. + +"Thank you, Santa!" Ben and Lily shouted.

She lays on the floor and starts to draw another picture. She is happy and proud. She loves to draw with her crayons. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks, but they want more. On Tuesday, they go to the shop with Mom. Mom says they can buy one car or truck each, but not a big one. The big ones are too cheap. They are not good. + +Ben and Sam look at the cars and trucks. They see a big red truck. It has big wheels and a loud horn. Ben wants the big red truck. He says to Sam, "I want the big red truck. It is the best." + +Sam says, "No, I want the big red truck. You can have the small blue car. It is fast and shiny." + +Ben says, "No, the small blue car is cheap. It is not good. The big red truck is mine." + +Sam says, "No, it is mine." + +They start to fight. They pull and push the big red truck. Mom sees them. She is angry. She says, "Stop! You are both bad. You cannot have the big red truck. It is too cheap. It will break soon. You can have no car or truck today. Come with me. We are going home." + +Ben and Sam are sad. They cry. They wish they did not fight. They wish they were good. They wish they had a car or truck. But they have none. They learn a lesson. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They hug. They say, "Next time, we will share. We will be good." +Anna liked to dance. She danced every day in her room. She had a pink dress and a shiny crown. She wanted to be a dancer when she grew up. + +One day, Anna saw a poster. It said: "Come and see the dancers at the big hall. They are very good and pretty. You can buy a ticket and watch them." Anna wanted to go. She asked her mom. + +"Mom, can we go and see the dancers? Please, please, please!" + +Mom looked at the poster. She said: "I'm sorry, Anna. We don't have enough money to buy a ticket. Maybe another time." + +Anna was sad. She cried and cried. She did not want to dance anymore. She threw her dress and crown on the floor. + +That night, Anna had a dream. She dreamed that she was a dancer at the big hall. She wore a beautiful dress and a shiny crown. She danced and danced. Everyone clapped and cheered. She was happy. + +But then, she woke up. It was dark and cold. She was in her bed. She looked for her dress and crown. They were not there. She remembered that she threw them away. She felt very silly and sorry. She wanted them back. But it was too late. She was sleepy and sad. She cried and cried. She had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben wanted to play with the doll too. + +"Give me the doll!" Ben said, grabbing the doll from Lily's hands. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said, pulling the doll back. + +They started to yell at each other, making loud noises with their voices. Their mom heard them from the kitchen and came to see what was wrong. + +"Stop yelling, both of you!" Mom said, looking angry. "Why are you fighting over the doll?" + +"Ben took it from me!" Lily said, pointing at Ben. + +"No, I just wanted to play with it!" Ben said, holding the doll. + +Mom sighed and took the doll from Ben. She gave it back to Lily and said, "Lily, this is your doll and you can play with it. But you have to share with your brother sometimes. Ben, this is Lily's doll and you can't take it from her. But you can ask her nicely if you can play with it too. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded, feeling sorry. They said sorry to each other and hugged. Mom smiled and said, "That's better. Now, why don't you play together nicely? You can use both the doll and the car. How about that?" + +Lily and Ben agreed and started to play together. They used the doll and the car to make up a story. They stopped yelling and used their voices to talk and laugh. They had fun and forgot about their bitter fight. Mom was happy to see them get along. She went back to the kitchen and finished making cookies for them. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big truck. The truck has wheels, a horn, and a screw. + +One day, Lily and Ben want to study how the truck works. They take the truck to their room and look at it. They see the screw on the side of the truck. They wonder what it does. + +"Let's unscrew it and see," says Lily. She takes a tool from their dad's box and tries to turn the screw. + +"Be careful, Lily," says Ben. "You might break the truck." + +Lily does not listen. She turns the screw harder and harder. Then, with a pop, the screw comes out. But so does the wheel. The wheel falls off the truck and rolls away. + +"Oh no!" says Lily. "What have we done?" + +Ben is sad. He loves the truck. He picks up the wheel and the screw. He tries to put them back on the truck. But he does not know how. + +"Maybe we can ask dad for help," says Lily. She feels sorry for Ben. She hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was curious. I didn't mean to ruin our lovely truck." + +Ben hugs her back and says, "It's okay, Lily. I was curious too. Maybe dad can fix it. He knows a lot about trucks." + +They take the truck, the wheel, and the screw to their dad. He is in the kitchen. He sees their sad faces and their broken toy. + +"What happened, kids?" he asks. + +"We wanted to study the truck, but we unscrewed the wheel and now it won't go back on," says Lily. + +"We're sorry, dad. We love our truck. Can you fix it?" says Ben. + +Dad smiles and says, "Don't worry, kids. I can fix it. It's a simple problem. You just need to screw the wheel back on the right way. Here, let me show you." + +He takes the truck, the wheel, and the screw. He puts them on the table and explains how they work. He teaches Lily and Ben how to screw and unscrew the wheel. He lets them try it themselves. + +"See, kids? It's easy. You just need to be gentle and careful. And always ask for permission before you take apart your toys. They might have parts that are hard to put back together." + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, dad. We understand. Thank you for fixing our truck. You're the best dad ever." + +Dad hugs them and says, "You're welcome, kids. I'm proud of you for wanting to learn new things. But remember, learning is also about respecting and taking care of your things. And your lovely truck is a very special thing. It was a gift from your grandma. She made it for you with love." + +Lily and Ben smile and say, "We love you, dad. And we love grandma. And we love our truck." + +They take their truck and go back to their room. They play with it happily. They honk the horn, roll the wheels, and screw and unscrew the screw. They have fun and learn at the same time. They are good twins. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big structure with slides and swings. They want to go there and have fun. + +"Come on, Ben, follow me!" Anna says. She leads Ben to the structure. She climbs up the ladder and slides down the slide. "Whee!" she shouts. + +Ben follows Anna. He also climbs up the ladder and slides down the slide. But he feels something strange. The slide is very hot. It hurts his legs. "Ow!" he cries. + +Anna hears Ben cry. She runs to him and hugs him. "What's wrong, Ben?" she asks. + +"The slide is hot, Anna. It burned me," Ben says. He shows Anna his legs. They are red and sore. + +Anna feels sorry for Ben. She remembers that the sun is shining very bright today. It makes everything hot. She looks for a shady place to play. She sees a big tree with a swing. She has an idea. + +"Let's go to the tree, Ben. It has a swing and it is cool," she says. She leads Ben to the tree. She helps him sit on the swing. She pushes him gently. "Wee!" he says. + +Ben feels better. He smiles at Anna. He thanks her for being a good friend. Anna smiles back. She is happy to help Ben. They play on the swing until their mommies come to pick them up. They have a good day. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a favorite tree, where they could sit and talk. + +One day, they saw a big sign on the tree. It said: "This tree will be cut down soon." Lily and Tom were very sad. They loved the tree. They did not want it to go away. + +They decided to discuss what to do. They said: + +- Lily: "We have to save the tree. It is our friend. It gives us shade and fruits and birds." +- Tom: "But how can we save it? The sign says it will be cut down soon. Who can stop them?" +- Lily: "Maybe we can talk to the people who want to cut it down. Maybe we can make them change their mind." +- Tom: "That is a good idea. Let's go and find them." + +They ran to the other side of the park, where they saw some men with big machines and tools. They looked angry and busy. Lily and Tom were scared, but they wanted to try. + +They said: + +- Lily: "Excuse me, sir. Why do you want to cut down our tree? It is a very nice tree. It does not hurt anyone." +- Tom: "Yes, please do not cut it down. We love the tree. It is our favorite place to play. It makes us happy." +- Man: "Sorry, kids. We have to cut it down. It is old and sick. It might fall and hurt someone. We have to make room for a new building." +- Lily: "But that is not fair. The tree was here first. It is not sick. It is strong and beautiful. You cannot take it away from us." +- Tom: "Yes, please leave it alone. There are many other places to build. The tree is part of the park. It is part of our home." + +The man looked at Lily and Tom. He saw their sad and angry faces. He felt sorry for them. He said: + +- Man: "I understand how you feel, kids. I used to love trees when I was your age. But sometimes we have to do things we do not like. It is part of our job. We have to follow the rules." +- Lily: "But who makes the rules? Can we talk to them? Can we tell them how we feel? Maybe they will listen to us." +- Tom: "Yes, maybe they will. Please, sir. Can you help us? Can you take us to them?" + +The man thought for a moment. He said: + +- Man: "Well, I suppose I can try. But I cannot promise anything. They are very busy and important people. They might not have time for you." +- Lily: "Please, sir. We will be very polite and quick. We just want to save our tree. It is very important to us." +- Tom: "Please, sir. We will be very grateful and happy. We just want to have a chance. It is our last hope." + +The man nodded. He said: + +- Man: "Okay, kids. Come with me. I will take you to them. But you have to be careful and quiet. And do not get your hopes up too high. It might not work." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They thanked the man. They followed him to his car. They hoped they could save their tree. They hoped the people who made the rules would listen to them. They hoped they could make a difference. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and beep and crash. But then, Tom's car stopped moving. He looked at it and saw a red light. + +"Oh no, my car has no battery!" he said. + +Lily came over and looked at his car. She saw a small door on the bottom. She opened it and took out a round thing. + +"This is the battery," she said. "It gives power to your car. But it is empty now. We need a new one." + +She looked around and saw a big box on the shelf. It had a picture of batteries on it. + +"Look, there are more batteries in there!" she said. "Let's hurry and get one!" + +She ran to the shelf and climbed on a chair. She reached for the box, but it was too high. She stretched and stretched, but she could not touch it. + +"Help me, Tom!" she said. + +Tom ran to the shelf and climbed on the chair too. He stood on his toes and grabbed the box. He pulled it down and opened it. He took out a new battery and gave it to Lily. + +"Here you go, Lily!" he said. + +Lily smiled and took the battery. She put it in Tom's car and closed the door. She pushed a button and the car came to life. It made a jolly sound and started to move. + +"Yay, it works!" Tom said. + +He took his car and hugged Lily. + +"Thank you, Lily! You are the best sister ever!" he said. + +Lily hugged him back. + +"You are welcome, Tom! You are the best brother ever!" she said. + +They put the box back on the shelf and got off the chair. They went back to the living room and played with their cars. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. They were very happy. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They had a lot of fun together. + +One day, they saw a new boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. Lila and Tom wanted to be kind, so they went to talk to him. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Lila asked. + +"My name is Sam. I am new here. I don't have any friends," the boy said. + +"That is not fair. You can be our friend. Do you want to play with us?" Tom said. + +Sam smiled and nodded. He was happy that Lila and Tom were nice to him. They welcomed him to the park and showed him all the games. + +They played until they were tired. Then they sat on the grass and shared their snacks. They talked and laughed and made plans for the next day. + +Lila, Tom and Sam became good friends. They always played together in the park. They learned to share, to help and to have fun. They were glad that they met each other. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside after school. One day, they see a big truck on the street. The truck is shiny and loud. It has many lights and colors. + +"Wow, look at the truck!" Lily says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Tom says. "What do you think it is?" + +They run to the truck. They see a man in the truck. He is wearing a hat and a coat. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, kids!" he says. "Do you want to see what I have in the truck?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom say. + +The man opens the back of the truck. He shows them many toys and books. He says he is a toy seller. He travels to different places and sells toys and books to children. + +"Wow, you have so many toys and books!" Lily says. "Can we buy some?" + +"Sure, you can!" the man says. "But you need to ask your parents first. Do you have money?" + +Lily and Tom shake their heads. They do not have money. They only have some coins. + +"That's okay," the man says. "You can have one toy or book each for free. Just pick one you like." + +Lily and Tom are very happy. They thank the man. They look at the toys and books. They see dolls, cars, balls, puzzles, animals, stories, and more. They have a hard time choosing. + +Lily picks a doll with a pink dress and a bow. She likes dolls. She hugs the doll. + +Tom picks a book with a dinosaur on the cover. He likes dinosaurs. He opens the book. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Lily and Tom say to the man. + +"You're welcome, you're welcome!" the man says. "Have fun with your toys and books!" + +Lily and Tom wave goodbye to the man. They run back to their homes. They show their toys and books to their parents. Their parents are happy for them. They say they are lucky to meet the toy seller. + +Lily and Tom agree. They think the toy seller is very nice. They like his shiny and loud truck. They hope to see him again. +Lily loved cheese. She ate cheese every day. She liked cheese more than anything. One day, she saw a big cheese in the shop. She wanted the cheese very much. She asked her mom to buy the cheese for her. + +Her mom said, "No, Lily. That cheese is too big and too expensive. You have enough cheese at home. You don't need more cheese." + +But Lily did not listen. She was very angry. She thought her mom was mean. She decided to take the cheese when her mom was not looking. She was very foolish. + +She grabbed the cheese and ran out of the shop. She thought she was very clever. She did not see the big hole in the road. She fell into the hole with the cheese. She hurt her knee and her elbow. She cried very loud. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to help her. She saw the cheese and the hole. She was very sad and very angry. She said, "Lily, you were very naughty and very foolish. You stole the cheese from the shop. You did not listen to me. You did not think of the danger. You could have been hurt more. You should be sorry and give back the cheese." + +Lily was very sorry and very ashamed. She realized she was wrong. She said, "Mom, I am sorry. I was very naughty and very foolish. I wanted the cheese too much. I did not listen to you. I did not think of the danger. I will give back the cheese and say sorry to the shopkeeper." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I am glad you are sorry and you learned your lesson. Cheese is good, but not more important than being good and safe. Next time, you should listen to me and be careful. I love you, Lily." + +Lily said, "I love you, too, mom. I will listen to you and be careful. I will not be foolish again." + +The end. + +Moral: Listen to your parents and be careful. Do not be greedy and steal. +Tom and Sue were playing on the porch. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. Tom had a wooden sword and Sue had a paper hat. + +"Arr, matey, I see a shiny coin under the chair!" Tom said, pointing with his sword. + +"Let's get it, captain!" Sue said, following him. + +But when they got to the chair, they saw a big dog sleeping there. The dog was pale and had spots. It looked mean and scary. + +"Shh, don't wake him up!" Tom whispered. + +But it was too late. The dog opened his eyes and saw the children. He growled and barked loudly. + +"Run!" Tom shouted, dropping his sword. + +Sue and Tom ran back to the door, but it was locked. They had forgotten to leave it open. They banged on the door and cried for help. + +"Mommy, daddy, open the door!" Sue screamed. + +The dog chased them and jumped on the porch. He snapped his teeth at them. + +"Stop, bad dog, stop!" Tom yelled. + +But the dog did not stop. He was angry and hungry. + +Just then, they heard a voice from inside the house. + +"Who's there? What's going on?" It was their daddy. + +He opened the door and saw the dog. He grabbed a broom and waved it at the dog. + +"Go away, you nasty dog! Leave my kids alone!" He said. + +The dog was scared of the broom and the daddy. He ran away, whimpering. + +Sue and Tom hugged their daddy. They were safe and happy. + +"Thank you, daddy, you saved us!" Sue said. + +"You're welcome, sweetie. Are you okay?" He said. + +"We're okay, daddy. But we lost our treasure." Tom said. + +"Don't worry, son. I have a better treasure for you." He said. + +He took them inside and gave them some cookies and milk. + +They ate and drank and smiled. + +They forgot about the dog and the coin. + +They had the best treasure of all. + +Their daddy. +Tom and Mia are twins. They are three years old. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. They want to celebrate with their family and friends. + +They wake up early in the morning. They hear a loud noise.

"We can display them for mom and dad." + +They take out the shirts and put them on. Some are too big, some are too small, some are too long, some are too short. But they don't care. They have fun mixing and matching the shirts with hats, scarves, belts and shoes. + +They make a runway in the living room with pillows and blankets. They take turns walking and posing with their outfits. They smile and clap for each other. + +"Look at me, I'm a pirate!" Ben says, wearing a striped shirt, a bandana and a wooden sword. + +"Look at me, I'm a princess!" Lily says, wearing a pink shirt, a tiara and a necklace. + +They hear a knock on the door.

They love their fashion show. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to slide on the big slide. It is fun and fast. But there is a problem. There is a symbol on the slide. It is a red circle with a line. It means "no". + +"Look, Lily, we can't slide here. There is a symbol. It says 'no'," Tom says. + +But Lily is stubborn. She does not listen to Tom. She does not care about the symbol. She wants to slide. + +"No, Tom, I want to slide. It is fun. The symbol is silly. I don't care," Lily says. + +She runs to the slide and climbs up. Tom follows her. He is worried. He does not want to break the rule. He does not want to get in trouble. + +"Lily, stop! Don't slide! It is bad. We can slide on the other slide. It has no symbol.

He tells them to leave the park. He tells them to go home. He tells them to be sorry. + +Lily is scared. She is sad. She is sorry. She knows she was wrong. She knows she was stubborn. She knows she should have listened to Tom. + +"Tom, I'm sorry. I was bad. I was stubborn. I should have listened to you. You were right. The symbol was not silly. It was important. Can you forgive me?" Lily says. + +Tom is kind. He is a good friend. He forgives Lily. He hugs her. He tells her it is OK. + +"It's OK, Lily. I forgive you. You made a mistake.

It runs to Tom and Mia. It wants to take their ball and kite. Tom and Mia are scared. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom says. "This is our ball and kite. They are important to us. You cannot have them." + +But the dog does not listen. It jumps and barks. It tries to grab the ball and kite. Tom and Mia hold them tight. + +Then, a man comes. The man is the dog's owner. He sees the dog and Tom and Mia. He runs to them. He calls the dog. + +"Rex, stop!" the man says. "You are being bad. You cannot take their ball and kite. They are not yours. Come here, now." + +The man grabs the dog's collar. He pulls the dog away. He says sorry to Tom and Mia. + +"I'm sorry, kids," the man says. "Rex is a good dog, but he likes to play too much. He did not mean to scare you. He did not know that your ball and kite are important to you." + +Tom and Mia nod. They are not angry. They are glad that the man came. He prevented the dog from taking their ball and kite. They say thank you to the man. + +"Thank you, sir," Tom says. "You are nice. You helped us." + +"Yes, thank you," Mia says. "You have a big dog.

She wants to keep all the blocks for herself. Ben is sad. He tries to make his tower taller, but it falls down. + +Sara sees Ben's tower fall down. She feels sorry for him. She decides to share some blocks. She says to Ben, "Here, you can have some of my blocks. Let's make a bigger tower together. I will encourage you. You are good at making towers." + +Ben is happy. He says thank you to Sara. He takes some of her blocks. They make a bigger tower together. They encourage each other. They are proud of their tower. They are good friends. +Sara liked to make things with her paper and crayons. She was very creative. She made animals, flowers, cars and houses. But her favorite thing to make was a fly. She liked how flies had big eyes, shiny wings and could buzz around. + +One day, Sara made a big fly with purple and green crayons. She cut it out and taped it to a stick. She wanted to see if it could fly like a real fly. She ran outside with her fly and waved it in the air. But it did not fly. It just hung from the stick. + +Sara was sad. She wanted her fly to fly. She saw a bird in a tree. She thought maybe the bird could help her. She shouted to the bird, "Hey, bird, can you teach my fly how to fly?" + +The bird looked at Sara and her fly. It saw the shiny wings and the big eyes. It thought the fly was a tasty snack. It flew down from the tree and snatched the fly from the stick. It flew away with the fly in its beak. + +Sara was shocked. She did not expect that. She shouted again, "Hey, bird, give me back my fly!" But the bird did not listen. It was too busy eating the fly. + +Sara learned a lesson that day. She learned that not everything that looks like a fly can fly. And she learned that birds like to eat flies. She decided to make something else with her paper and crayons. Something that birds would not want to eat. Maybe a snake. Or a spider. Or a cactus. She was still very creative. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big sheet that they used to make tents and capes and dresses. They always shared the sheet and had fun together. + +One day, a new boy named Sam came to their house. He was their mom's friend's son, and he had to stay with them for a while. Sam was bored and wanted to play with Lily and Tom, but he did not ask nicely. He saw the sheet and thought it was cool. He wanted to have it for himself. + +He waited until Lily and Tom were busy with their blocks, and then he sneaked to their bed and grabbed the sheet. He ran away with it to the living room, where he made a big fort. He felt proud and happy. + +Lily and Tom soon noticed that their sheet was gone. They looked around and saw Sam in the living room. They ran to him and asked him to give back their sheet. Sam said no. He said it was his sheet now, and he did not want to share. He told them to go away. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They told their mom what Sam had done. Their mom was not happy. She went to the living room and scolded Sam. She told him that he had been very bad and rude. She told him that he had to give back the sheet and say sorry to Lily and Tom. She told him that stealing was wrong, and that sharing was good. + +Sam felt ashamed and scared. He realized that he had made a big mistake. He gave back the sheet and said sorry to Lily and Tom. He asked them if they wanted to play with him. Lily and Tom forgave him and said yes. They all played with the sheet and had fun together. They learned to be kind and friendly. +Lily liked to swim. She had a big pool in her backyard. She wore a pink swimsuit and a hat. She swam with her mom and dad and her brother Max. They splashed and played and had fun. + +One day, Lily saw something different in the pool. It was a small green frog. It jumped and swam in the water. Lily was curious. She wanted to touch the frog. She swam closer and reached out her hand. + +But the frog was scared. It did not like Lily. It croaked and jumped out of the pool. It ran away to the grass. Lily was sad. She wanted to be friends with the frog. + +She asked her mom, "Why did the frog run away? I just wanted to say hi." + +Her mom said, "The frog is not used to people. It likes to be alone. It is different from us. We have to respect its space and let it be." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She went back to swim with her family. She still liked frogs, but she knew they were different. She was happy to swim with her mom and dad and her brother Max. They were not different. They were her family. +Tim and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to dig holes and find things in the dirt. Sometimes they found rocks, worms, or old toys. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they found something shiny and round. It was a stove. A stove is something you use to cook food. It was very old and dirty. Tim and Lily wondered how it got there. + +"Maybe someone buried it here a long time ago," Tim said. + +"Why would they do that?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe they didn't want it anymore. Or maybe they were hiding it from someone. Or maybe they were playing a game," Tim said. + +Tim and Lily decided to play a game too. They pretended they were pirates and the stove was their treasure. They dug a bigger hole and buried the stove again. They made a map and hid it under a rock. + +The next day, they came back to dig up their treasure. But they couldn't find it. Someone had taken it. They looked for their map, but it was gone too. They felt sad and angry. + +"Who took our treasure?" Tim cried. + +"Maybe it was the owner of the stove. Maybe they wanted it back," Lily said. + +"Or maybe it was another pirate. Maybe they followed our map and stole it," Tim said. + +They looked around and saw a man with a truck. He had a lot of old things in his truck. He was a junk man. He collected old things and sold them or recycled them. He had their stove. + +"Hey, that's our treasure!" Tim shouted. + +The junk man looked at them and smiled. He said, "Sorry, kids. I didn't know it was yours. I found it buried in the ground. I thought it was junk. Do you want it back?" + +Tim and Lily nodded. They ran to the truck and took their stove. They thanked the junk man and carried their stove back to their hole. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that one man's junk is another man's treasure. They also learned that if they want to keep something, they shouldn't bury it. They should put it somewhere safe and normal. Like in their house. Or in their room. Or in their toy box. +Sara woke up in the morning and saw her teddy bear next to her. She smiled and gave him a big hug. She loved her teddy bear very much. He was soft and warm and harmless. He never hurt her or made her sad. + +She got out of bed and put on her pink dress. She ran to the kitchen where her mommy and daddy were. They were making breakfast and talking. Sara hugged them too and said hello. They hugged her back and said good morning. They were happy to see her. + +They ate some toast and eggs and drank some juice. Sara told them about her teddy bear and how he was her best friend. They listened and nodded and smiled. They said he was a very nice teddy bear. They asked her what she wanted to do today. Sara thought for a moment and then said she wanted to go to the park and play with her teddy bear. They said that sounded like fun and agreed to go. They finished their breakfast and got ready to leave. Sara grabbed her teddy bear and hugged him again. She was excited to have a fun day with him and her mommy and daddy. She knew they loved her very much. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. One day, they both want to play with the red car. They pull and tug and yell. They do not share. + +Mom hears them and comes to their room. She is not happy. She says, "You need to learn to share. Sharing is caring. If you do not share, you will have no toys to play with." She takes the red car and puts it on the window sill. She says, "You can have it back when you say sorry and hug each other." + +Lily and Tom are sad and angry. They do not want to say sorry or hug. They sit on their beds and stare at the window. They stare at the red car. They stare at the sky. They stare at the birds. They stare and stare and stare. + +They stare for a long time. They start to feel bored and lonely. They start to miss their toy and each other. They start to think that maybe sharing is not so bad. They start to think that maybe mom is right. They start to think that maybe they should say sorry and hug. + +They look at each other and smile. They get up and walk to the window. They say sorry and hug. They say, "We love you, mom. We love you, twin. We love to share." Mom hears them and smiles. She gives them the red car and says, "I love you, too. I am proud of you. You learned a good lesson today." Lily and Tom play with the red car together. They are happy and grateful. They do not fight anymore. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had a pink dress that Lily loved. She liked to brush Anna's hair and make her dance. + +One day, Lily was playing with Anna in her room. She put Anna on her bed and went to get some tea for her. She had a toy tea set that she liked to pretend with. She filled a cup with water and added some sugar. She thought it would be tasty for Anna. + +But when she came back, she saw something terrible. Her dog, Max, was on her bed. He had Anna in his mouth. He was biting her dress. He made holes in it. He ripped it off. Lily was very angry and sad. + +"Max, no! Bad dog! Give me Anna!" she shouted. She ran to the bed and tried to take Anna from Max. But Max growled and shook his head. He did not want to let go. He liked to bite the dress. He thought it was tasty. + +Lily started to cry. She loved Anna and her dress. She did not want Max to ruin them. She did not know what to do. She needed help. She called her mom. + +"Mom, mom, help me! Max is biting Anna! He is hurting her! He is breaking her dress!" she sobbed. + +Her mom heard her and came to her room. She saw what Max was doing. She was not happy. She scolded Max and took him off the bed. She took Anna from his mouth. She checked if she was okay. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. Max was naughty. He should not bite your doll. He should not eat her dress. He did not know it was yours. He thought it was a toy for him. He likes to chew things. But he needs to learn to be gentle and share. Do you forgive him?" she asked. + +Lily looked at Anna. She was dirty and wet. Her dress was torn and missing. She felt sorry for her. She also looked at Max. He was sitting on the floor. He looked sad and sorry. He wagged his tail. He wanted to be friends. Lily felt sorry for him too. + +She nodded. She forgave him. She loved Max. He was her dog. She knew he did not mean to hurt Anna. He was just playing. She hugged him and kissed him. She said, "It's okay, Max. I forgive you. But don't bite Anna again. She is not a toy for you. She is my doll. She is my friend. You can play with your own toys. I have some for you. Do you want to play with me and Anna?" + +Max barked. He was happy. He wanted to play with Lily and Anna. He licked her face. He said, "Woof, woof. Thank you, Lily. I love you. I'm sorry. I won't bite Anna again. I will be gentle and share. Can I play with you and Anna?" + +Lily smiled. She was happy too. She loved Max and Anna. They were her friends. She said, "Yes, you can. Come on, let's play. Mom, can you fix Anna's dress? Can you make it pretty again?" + +Her mom smiled. She was proud of Lily. She was kind and forgiving. She said, "Of course, I can. I will sew it for you. I will make it as good as new. You are a good girl, Lily. You are a good friend to Max and Anna. I love you." + +They hugged and kissed. They played together. They had fun. They were happy. The end. +Anna liked to help her mom in the morning. She would wake up early and go to the kitchen. She would get a cup and a spoon for her mom. She would put coffee in the cup and water in the kettle. She would wait for the water to boil and then pour it over the coffee. + +One morning, Anna was very excited. She wanted to surprise her mom with breakfast. She got a plate and put some bread and butter on it. She got a cup and a spoon and some coffee. She forgot to get water for the kettle. She did not know that coffee needed water. She thought it was like juice. + +She carried the plate and the cup to her mom's room. She was very careful and graceful. She did not spill anything. She knocked on the door and said, "Mom, I made you breakfast!" She opened the door and saw her mom sleeping. She smiled and put the plate and the cup on the nightstand. + +Her mom woke up and saw Anna. She hugged her and said, "Thank you, sweetie, you are so thoughtful!" She picked up the cup and smelled the coffee. She made a funny face. She said, "Anna, did you forget something?" Anna looked at the cup and said, "No, I put coffee in it." Her mom said, "But coffee needs water, honey. This is just coffee powder." Anna said, "Oh, I did not know that. I'm sorry, mom." Her mom said, "It's okay, Anna. I love you anyway. You can help me make some real coffee in the kitchen." Anna said, "Okay, mom. I love you too." They went to the kitchen and made some real coffee together. They laughed and had a good morning. +Anna liked to play with her dolls in the living room. She had a big box of clothes and shoes for them. She liked to dress them up and make them talk. Sometimes she pretended they were her friends or her family. + +One day, she saw a shiny thing on the table. It was round and silver and had some black stuff inside. She wondered what it was. She reached for it with her hand. She wanted to touch it and see if it made a sound. + +"Anna, no!" her mom shouted. She ran to the table and took the shiny thing away from Anna. "That's an ashtray. It's not a toy. It's for daddy's cigarettes. It has ash and butts inside. They are dirty and smelly and bad for you. And the edge is sharp. It can cut you and make you bleed. Don't ever touch it again, okay?" + +Anna felt confused. She didn't know what ash and butts and cigarettes were. She didn't know why daddy needed them. She didn't know why the shiny thing was not a toy. She didn't know why mom was angry and scared. She started to cry. + +Mom hugged Anna and wiped her tears. "I'm sorry, sweetie. I didn't mean to yell at you. I was just worried. You didn't know any better. It's my fault for leaving the ashtray on the table. I should have put it away. Here, let me show you something else you can play with. How about this book? It has pictures and words and stories. You can look at it and I can read it to you. Do you want that?" + +Anna nodded. She liked books. She liked pictures and words and stories. She liked mom's voice. She forgot about the shiny thing. She snuggled with mom on the couch and opened the book. She felt happy. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Can I go first?" Ben asks. + +"OK, you can go first. But be careful," Mia says. + +Ben climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide. He slides down very fast. He is happy. He says, "Whee!" + +Mia waits for her turn. She climbs up the ladder. She sits on the slide. She slides down very fast. She is happy. She says, "Whee!" + +They do it again and again. They have fun. + +But then they see a sign. The sign says, "Park closes at 5 o'clock." They look at the clock. It is almost 5 o'clock. They have to go home. + +"Let's go, Mia. The park is going to end," Ben says. + +"OK, Ben. Let's go. But first, let's say thank you to the park," Mia says. + +They run to the sign. They hug the sign. They say, "Thank you, park. You are very nice. You have a big slide. You make us happy. We will come back soon." + +The park is happy. It says, "You are welcome, Ben and Mia. You are very good. You are very clean. You do not make a mess. You make me happy. I will see you soon." + +Ben and Mia wave goodbye to the park. They hold hands. They walk home. They are happy. They are friends. The end. +Lila was a girl who liked to play with her hair. She had a pink comb that she used to make different styles. She liked to comb her hair in front of the mirror and guess what she looked like. + +One day, she wanted to make a braid like her mom. She asked her mom to help her, but her mom was busy. She said, "Lila, you can try to do it yourself. You are a big girl now. You can learn new things." + +Lila was persistent. She did not give up. She took her comb and tried to make a braid. She divided her hair into three parts and crossed them over each other. But it was hard. Her hair was slippery and tangled. She dropped her comb and her hair came undone. + +She felt sad and frustrated. She said, "I can't do it. It is too hard. I want you to help me, mom." + +Her mom heard her and came to her. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lila. I know you are trying hard. But sometimes, things take time and practice. You can't do everything at once. You have to be patient and keep trying. You are a smart and creative girl. You can do it if you want to." + +She picked up the comb and showed her how to make a braid. She said, "Look, you have to hold the parts tight and cross them over each other like this. Then you have to tie the end with a ribbon or a clip. Do you want to try again?" + +Lila nodded and smiled. She took the comb and followed her mom's instructions. She made a braid and tied it with a pink ribbon. She looked at herself in the mirror and said, "I did it! I made a braid like you, mom. It is pretty. Thank you for helping me, mom." + +Her mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lila. I'm proud of you. You are a persistent and brave girl. You can do anything you set your mind to. Now, do you want to guess what we are going to do next?" + +Lila guessed, "Are we going to read a book? Or play a game? Or bake a cake?" + +Her mom said, "You'll have to wait and see. It is a surprise. But I think you will like it. Come on, let's go." +Anna loved music. She liked to sing and dance and play her toy drum. She wanted to join a band and make music with other people. But she did not know anyone who had a band. + +One day, she saw a poster on the wall. It said: "Elderly band looking for new members. Come and join us on Friday at the park. Bring your own instrument." Anna was very excited. She asked her mom if she could go to the park on Friday and join the elderly band. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful and polite. + +On Friday, Anna took her toy drum and went to the park with her mom. She saw a group of elderly people sitting on a bench. They had different instruments, like a guitar, a flute, a harmonica and a tambourine. They smiled at Anna and invited her to sit with them. + +"Hello, little girl. What is your name?" asked the guitar player. + +"I'm Anna. I want to join your band. I have a drum," said Anna. + +"That's wonderful. We are happy to have you. We are the Silver Stars. We like to play music for fun. Do you know any songs?" asked the flute player. + +"I know Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Old MacDonald Had a Farm," said Anna. + +"Great. Let's play them together. You can start with your drum," said the harmonica player. + +Anna started to beat her drum and the elderly band joined her. They played and sang the songs and had a lot of fun. Anna felt very happy. She had joined a band and made new friends. She thanked the elderly band and said goodbye. She promised to come back next week and play more music with them. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with trains. They had a big train set with tracks, bridges, tunnels and stations. They also had a toy train that could make steam and sound like a real train. They loved to watch the steam come out of the train's chimney and hear it whistle and chug. + +One day, they decided to play a game. They pretended that they were the train drivers and they had to deliver some cargo to different places. They put some blocks and toys in the train's cars and made a plan. Tim would drive the train to the bridge and wave to Sam, who would be waiting on the other side. Then Sam would drive the train to the tunnel and wave to Tim, who would be waiting at the end. They would take turns until they finished their deliveries. + +They started their game and had a lot of fun. They made the train go fast and slow, stop and start, and wave to each other. They saw the steam rise from the train and felt like they were really driving it. They were so busy playing that they did not notice that the train was running out of water. The steam became less and less, and the train became quieter and quieter. + +When Tim drove the train to the bridge for the last time, he waved to Sam as usual. But Sam did not wave back. He looked worried and pointed to the train. Tim looked at the train and saw that there was no steam coming out of the chimney. He tried to make the train whistle, but it did not make any sound. He realized that the train had stopped working. He felt sad and scared. + +He shouted to Sam, "Help! The train is broken! What can we do?" Sam shouted back, "Don't worry! I have an idea! Wait there!" He ran to the kitchen and came back with a big jug of water. He poured some water into the train's tank and said, "Try it now!" Tim pushed the button and the train came to life. It made steam and sound again. Tim felt happy and relieved. He thanked Sam and said, "You are the best brother ever! You saved the train!" Sam smiled and said, "You are welcome! Let's finish our game!" They waved to each other and drove the train to the tunnel. They had learned a lesson: they had to check the water level of the train before they played. They also learned that they could help each other when they had a problem. They enjoyed their game even more and had a deep love for trains and for each other. +Tim and Sam like to play in the park. They see a pond with many frogs. They want to catch a frog and take it home. They run to the pond and look for a frog. + +They see a big frog with bright green skin. It sits on a rock and croaks. Tim and Sam think it is a nice frog. They want to be its friends. They go near the rock and try to grab the frog. + +But the frog is not nice. It is angry and scared. It does not want to be caught. It jumps off the rock and lands on Tim's face. It bites Tim's nose and makes him cry. Sam is shocked and scared. He tries to help Tim, but he slips and falls into the pond. He gets wet and cold. + +The frog hops away and hides under a leaf. It is safe and happy. Tim and Sam are not. They are hurt and sad. They run back to their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. Their mom and dad are mad and worried. They zip up their coats and take them to the doctor. They say they should not catch frogs. They say they should be careful and kind. Tim and Sam say they are sorry. They learn their lesson. They do not play with frogs again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen with Mom. Today, Mom says they can help her bake a cake. Lily and Ben are happy. They put on aprons and wash their hands. + +Mom gives them a big bowl and a spoon. She says, "We need to mix flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. Can you help me?" Lily and Ben nod. They take turns to pour and stir. The batter is yellow and sticky. It smells good. + +Mom says, "Now we need to put the batter in a pan and bake it in the oven. Be careful, the oven is hot." She opens the oven and slides the pan inside. She sets the timer and says, "We have to wait for 20 minutes. What can we do while we wait?" + +Lily and Ben think. They see some sprinkles and frosting on the counter. They have an idea. They grab some and sneak to the bathroom. They look at each other and giggle. They start to decorate their faces with the sprinkles and frosting. They make dots, stripes, and swirls. They look funny. + +Mom hears the timer beep. She goes to the oven and takes out the cake. It is golden and fluffy. She smiles. She calls, "Lily, Ben, the cake is ready. Come and see." She hears some noise from the bathroom. She goes to check. She opens the door and sees Lily and Ben. They have wide smiles and colorful faces. Mom gasps. She says, "Oh, my! What have you done?" Lily and Ben say, "We made our faces pretty. Do you like them?" Mom laughs. She says, "You are very creative, but you are also very messy. Come on, let's wash your faces and then we can eat the cake." Lily and Ben say, "Okay, Mom. We love you." They hug Mom and follow her to the kitchen. They enjoy the cake and each other. They have a happy day. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, Lily had a big idea. She wanted to send a gift to Tom's mom, who was very nice and made them cookies. + +Lily asked her mom for help. Her mom said they could make a card and a picture. Lily drew a flower and a heart. She wrote "I love you" with her mom's help. Her mom also gave her a bottle of wine. She said it was a drink for grown-ups, and Tom's mom would like it. + +Lily put the card, the picture, and the wine in a big box. She wrapped it with paper and a bow. She was very proud of her gift. She asked her mom to take her to Tom's house. + +When they got there, Lily rang the doorbell. Tom's mom opened the door. She was surprised and happy to see Lily and her mom. Lily gave her the box and said, "This is for you. You are very nice and make good cookies." + +Tom's mom thanked Lily and her mom. She opened the box and saw the card, the picture, and the wine. She smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "This is the most adorable gift I ever got. You are very sweet and thoughtful." + +Lily and Tom's mom invited Lily and her mom to come in. They had cookies and juice. Lily and Tom played with their toys. They had a lot of fun. Lily was glad she sent a gift to Tom's mom. She felt happy and warm inside. +Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked the animals very much and wanted to learn more about them. + +Mom took them to a place where they could order food and drinks. She asked them what they wanted. Ben said he wanted a hot dog and a juice. Lily said she wanted a salad and a water. + +"That's an unusual order for a little girl," Mom said. "Why do you want a salad?" + +"Because I want to be like the giraffe," Lily said. "The giraffe eats leaves and is very tall and pretty." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's a good opinion, Lily. But you know, you can also eat other things and still be tall and pretty. And the giraffe also drinks water, not juice." + +Lily thought for a moment and then said, "OK, Mom. I will try a hot dog and a juice too. But can I also have some leaves for dessert?" + +Mom laughed and said, "Sure, Lily. If they have any leaves, you can have some. But I think you will like the ice cream better." + +Ben and Lily nodded and gave Mom a hug. They were happy and hungry. They ordered their food and drinks and waited for them to come. They wondered what the giraffe would think of their order. +Sara and her mom went to the market. It was cold outside, so they wore hats and coats. Sara liked the market. She saw many things. She saw fruits and vegetables, bread and cheese, flowers and toys. She wanted to touch everything. + +Sara saw a man with a big red nose and funny clothes. He was making jokes and noises. He had a balloon in his hand. He gave the balloon to Sara. It was a dog balloon. Sara was happy. She said thank you. The man smiled. + +Sara and her mom walked some more. They saw a woman with a guitar. She was singing songs. She had a cat on her lap. The cat was black and white. It was wearing a bow. Sara liked the cat. She wanted to pet it. The woman said yes. Sara petted the cat. The cat purred. + +Sara and her mom bought some things. They bought apples and carrots, bread and cheese, and a flower for Sara. They said goodbye to the man and the woman. They went back home. Sara showed her dad the balloon and the flower. He liked them. He hugged Sara and her mom. They all laughed. They were happy. +Lily was a cat who liked to play outside. She had a long, fluffy tail that she was very proud of. She liked to chase birds and mice and bugs with her tail. She also liked to swing her tail when she was happy or angry. + +One day, it was very cold outside. Lily wanted to play, but her mom said no. She said it was too cold and Lily could get sick. Lily did not listen. She sneaked out of the house when her mom was not looking. She ran to the park where she saw some birds. She tried to catch them with her tail, but they flew away. She felt cold and sad. + +She saw a big dog who was also playing in the park. The dog saw Lily and barked. He ran towards her. Lily was scared. She tried to run away, but the dog was faster. He bit her tail. Lily cried out in pain. She wished she had listened to her mom. + +The dog's owner came and pulled the dog away. He said he was sorry and asked if Lily was okay. Lily said no. She said her tail hurt a lot. She said she wanted her mom. The dog's owner said he would take her home. He wrapped her tail in a cloth and carried her in his arms. + +Lily felt warm and safe, but also very sorry. She regretted going outside when it was cold. She regretted chasing the birds with her tail. She regretted not listening to her mom. She hoped her mom would not be mad at her. She hoped her tail would heal soon. She learned her lesson. She decided to be a good cat and stay inside when it was cold. She decided to be careful with her tail and not use it for silly things. She decided to listen to her mom and love her more. +Lily liked to make toast for breakfast. She had a special toaster that made the bread hot and brown. She put butter and jam on her toast and ate it with milk. She liked to share her toast with her cat, Mimi, who always waited for a bite. + +One morning, Lily wanted to surprise her mom with toast. She got up early and went to the kitchen. She put two slices of bread in the toaster and pushed the button. She waited for the toast to pop up, but it did not. She pushed the button again and again, but nothing happened. She smelled something bad and saw smoke coming out of the toaster. She was scared and ran to her mom's room. + +"Mom, mom, the toaster is broken!" she cried. + +Her mom woke up and followed Lily to the kitchen. She saw the toaster on fire and quickly unplugged it. She used a towel to put out the flames and threw the toaster in the sink. She checked Lily and hugged her. + +"Are you okay, sweetie? What happened?" she asked. + +"I wanted to make toast for you, mom, but the toaster did not work. I pushed the button many times, but it only made smoke and fire. I'm sorry, mom, I broke the toaster," Lily said. + +Her mom smiled and kissed her. + +"It's okay, Lily, you did not break the toaster. It was old and faulty. You did not know that. You were trying to do something nice for me, and I appreciate that. But next time, please don't use the toaster by yourself. It can be dangerous. Ask me or dad for help, okay?" she said. + +"Okay, mom, I will. I regret using the toaster by myself. I was silly," Lily said. + +Her mom nodded and said, "Let's go to the store and buy a new toaster. A better one. One that makes attractive toast. How does that sound?" + +Lily smiled and said, "That sounds good, mom. Can we also buy some more jam? I like jam on my toast." + +Her mom laughed and said, "Sure, we can. Come on, let's go." + +They left the kitchen and went to the car. Mimi followed them and meowed. She was hungry and wanted some toast. But there was no toast left. She regretted not eating the bread before Lily put it in the toaster. She hoped they would come back soon with more toast. She liked toast too. +Lily was a pretty girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big sister, Anna, who was very kind to her. One day, Anna gave Lily a new doll that she had bought with her own money. Lily was very happy and hugged Anna. + +"Thank you, Anna! She is so pretty! What is her name?" Lily asked. + +"You can name her whatever you want, Lily. She is your doll now," Anna said. + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "I will name her Rose, because she has a pink dress and a rose in her hair." + +Anna smiled and said, "That's a lovely name, Lily. I hope you and Rose will have a lot of fun together." + +Lily and Rose became best friends. Lily took Rose everywhere she went. She played with her in the garden, in the kitchen, in the bedroom, and even in the bathtub. She talked to her, sang to her, and read her stories. She loved Rose very much. + +One day, Lily and Anna went to the park with their mom. They had a picnic, played on the swings, and fed the ducks. Lily brought Rose with her and showed her the flowers, the birds, and the pond. She was having a lot of fun. + +But then, something bad happened. Lily and Rose were crossing the street with their mom and Anna, when a big car came very fast. The car did not stop for the red light. It hit Lily and Rose and made a loud noise. Lily and Rose flew in the air and landed on the ground. Lily was hurt and bleeding. Rose was broken and torn. Lily cried and cried. Anna and mom ran to her and hugged her. They called for help. + +The help came and took Lily and Rose to the hospital. The doctor looked at Lily and said, "You are very brave, Lily. You have some cuts and bruises, but they will heal soon. You will be fine." + +Lily looked at Rose and said, "But what about Rose? She is broken. She is not fine." + +The doctor looked at Rose and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Rose is very damaged. I don't think I can fix her. She is not like you. She is a doll. She can't heal." + +Lily was very sad and said, "But she is my best friend. I love her. Can't you do something?" + +The doctor shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not, Lily. Sometimes, things break and can't be fixed. You have to let them go." + +Lily did not want to let Rose go. She held her tight and said, "No, no, no. I don't want to let her go. She is my best friend. I love her." + +Anna heard Lily and felt sorry for her. She remembered how much she loved her own doll when she was little. She had a idea. She whispered to the doctor and asked him something. The doctor nodded and smiled. He said to Lily, "Lily, I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?" + +Lily looked at him and said, "What is it?" + +The doctor said, "Close your eyes and count to ten." + +Lily closed her eyes and counted, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." + +The doctor said, "Open your eyes, Lily." + +Lily opened her eyes and saw a new doll in the doctor's hands. The doll looked like Rose, but she was not broken. She had a pink dress and a rose in her hair. She was pretty and new. + +The doctor said, "This is your new doll, Lily. She is a gift from your sister, Anna. She wanted to make you happy. She said you can name her whatever you want, but she suggested you name her Hope, because she hopes you will heal soon and be happy again." + +Lily looked at the new doll and then at Anna. She saw Anna smiling and nodding. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She said, "Thank you, Anna. Thank you, doctor. She is so pretty. I will name her Hope, because I hope I will heal soon and be happy again. And I hope Rose will be happy too, wherever she is." + +Lily hugged Hope and smiled. She felt a little better. She learned that sometimes, things break and can't be fixed, but sometimes, things can be replaced and can make you happy. She learned that she had a big sister who loved her and cared for her. She learned that she had hope. And hope can heal. +Sara wanted to play with her new doll, but her big brother Ben did not permit her. He said the doll was his, and he took it away from her. Sara was very sad and angry. She cried and shouted at Ben. + +"Give me back my doll! It is mine, not yours! You are a bad brother!" Sara said. + +"No, it is mine! I found it in the garage. You are a baby! Go away!" Ben said. + +He ran to his room and locked the door. Sara followed him and banged on the door. She wanted her doll back. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Sara crying and Ben hiding in his room. She was not happy. She was grumpy. + +"What is going on here? Why are you making so much noise?" Mom asked. + +"Sara wants my doll, but it is mine! She is a baby!" Ben said. + +"No, it is my doll, but Ben took it! He is a bad brother!" Sara said. + +Mom looked at the doll. She recognized it. It was her old doll from when she was a little girl. She had put it in the garage to donate it to a charity. She had forgotten to tell Ben and Sara. + +"This is not your doll, Ben. And it is not your doll, Sara. This is my doll. I was going to give it away, but I forgot. I am sorry for the confusion. But you should not fight over it. You should share it. Or you can choose another toy to play with. Fighting is not nice. It only makes you and others unhappy. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Ben and Sara looked at each other. They felt sorry for making Mom grumpy. They felt sorry for making each other sad and angry. They nodded. + +"Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. Can we hug and say sorry to each other?" Ben said. + +"Yes, Mom. We are sorry. Can we hug and say sorry to each other?" Sara said. + +Mom smiled. She was happy. She gave them the doll and hugged them. + +"Of course you can. I love you both. And I am glad you learned a lesson. Sharing is caring. And caring is better than fighting. Right?" Mom said. + +"Right!" Ben and Sara said. + +They hugged and said sorry to each other. They decided to play with the doll together. They had fun. They were happy. And so was Mom. The end. +Sara and Ben like to play pretend. They have a big box of toys and costumes. They can be anything they want. Today, they want to be pirates. They put on hats and scarves and belts. They find a sword and a hook and a map. They are ready for adventure. + +They go to the backyard and look for treasure. They dig and dig and dig. They find a shiny metal chain. They think it is gold. They are very happy. They want to take it to their ship. + +But the chain is very heavy. They try to lift it, but they can't. They pull and pull and pull. The chain is stuck in the ground. They don't know what to do. + +Then, they hear a loud roar. They turn around and see a big dog. The dog is angry. The dog thinks the chain is his. The dog runs towards them. He barks and growls and shows his teeth. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the chain and run. They scream and cry and call for help. But no one hears them. The dog catches them and bites them. They are hurt and sad. They wish they never played pretend. +Kim and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big kangaroo. The kangaroo had a baby in her pouch. Kim and Sam wanted to see the baby. + +"Hello, kangaroo," Kim said. "Can we see your baby?" + +The kangaroo looked at Kim and Sam. She nodded her head. She let them come closer. She opened her pouch. Kim and Sam saw a tiny kangaroo. It had soft fur and big eyes. + +"Aw, so cute," Sam said. He touched the baby gently. The baby smiled. + +"Thank you, kangaroo," Kim said. "You are very nice. You care for your baby." + +The kangaroo smiled too. She liked Kim and Sam. She wanted to share something with them. She reached into her pouch again. She took out a bunch of leaves. She gave some to Kim and Sam. + +"Here, try these," she said. "They are yummy. They are my favorite food." + +Kim and Sam took the leaves. They smelled them. They looked at the kangaroo. She was eating the leaves happily. They decided to try them too. They took a bite. + +"Yuck!" Kim and Sam said. They spit out the leaves. They did not like them at all. They were bitter and dry. + +The kangaroo was surprised. She did not understand. She thought the leaves were delicious. She looked at Kim and Sam. They looked at her. They all started to laugh. + +"I'm sorry, kangaroo," Kim said. "We don't like the same food as you. But we still like you. And we still like your baby." + +The kangaroo nodded. She understood. She was not angry. She was glad. She had made new friends. She hugged Kim and Sam. They hugged her back. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were excited to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They put on aprons and hats and took out pots and pans. + +"Let's make soup!" Lily said. "We need water and carrots and salt." + +"OK!" Tom said. "I will get the water. You get the carrots and salt." + +Tom went to the sink and turned on the tap. He filled a big pot with water and carried it to the stove. He was very strong and careful. + +Lily went to the fridge and took out some carrots. She also found some salt in the cupboard. She brought them to the stove and put them in the pot. + +"Good job!" Tom said. "Now we need to turn on the stove and wait for the soup to boil." + +Lily nodded. She reached for the knob and turned it. She did not know that it was very hot and dangerous. She burned her hand and screamed. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily cried. "It hurts! It hurts!" + +Tom heard her and ran to her. He saw her hand and felt sorry. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You should not touch the stove. It is very hot and dangerous. You need to be careful." + +Lily sobbed and nodded. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. They always told her not to play with the stove. They said it was not a toy. They said it could hurt her. + +Tom and Lily heard the door open. It was their mom and dad. They had come back from the store. They saw the mess in the kitchen and the pot on the stove. They smelled the soup and the smoke. They saw Lily's hand and the tears on her face. + +They were very angry and worried. They turned off the stove and took Lily to the sink. They ran cold water over her hand and wrapped it with a bandage. They scolded Tom and Lily for playing in the kitchen. They said they were very naughty and careless. They said they could have started a fire or hurt themselves badly. They said they were not allowed to play in the kitchen anymore. They said they had to go to their rooms and think about what they did. + +Tom and Lily felt very bad. They said they were sorry and they loved their mom and dad. They went to their rooms and thought about what they did. They learned their lesson. They decided to never play in the kitchen again. They decided to play with safer and funnier toys. They decided to listen to their mom and dad and be good. + +The end. + +Moral value: Playing in the kitchen can be dangerous and harmful. We should listen to our parents and be careful. +Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play with toys. One day, they found a robot in the park. It was big and shiny. They wanted to take it home. + +"Look, a robot!" Tim said. "Can we keep it?" + +"Maybe," Sam said. "But we have to be careful. It might be wild." + +They pushed the robot to Tim's house. They put it in the garage. They gave it some water and food. They hoped it would be nice to them. + +The next day, they went to see the robot. It was dry and angry. It did not like the water and food. It wanted to go back to the park. It made loud noises. It broke the door. It chased Tim and Sam. + +"Help, help!" Tim and Sam cried. "The robot is wild!" + +They ran to the street. They saw a man with a badge. He was looking for the robot. He was a scientist. He had made the robot. He was very mad. + +"Stop, stop!" the man said. "That is my robot! You stole it from the park! It is not a toy! It is a dangerous machine!" + +He took the robot away. He scolded Tim and Sam. He told them to never touch things that are not theirs. He said they could have been hurt. He said they were very naughty. + +Tim and Sam felt sorry. They learned a lesson. They said they were sorry. They promised to never do it again. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They put one block on top of another block. They try to make it very high. + +"Look, Lily, our tower is so big!" Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, it is very big. But be careful, do not put too many blocks. It might fall down." Lily says. + +They keep putting more blocks. They do not know when to stop. They do not see that the tower is wobbly. They do not hear that the wind is blowing. + +Suddenly, a big gust of wind comes. It blows the tower over. The blocks fall down. They make a loud noise. They scatter everywhere. + +"Oh no, our tower!" Lily and Ben cry. + +They look at the result. They see many blocks on the ground. Some blocks are red, some blocks are blue, some blocks are yellow. But one block is different. It is black. + +"Look, Lily, a black block! Where did it come from?" Ben asks. + +"I do not know, Ben. I have never seen a black block before. Maybe it is a special block. Maybe it has a secret." Lily says. + +They pick up the black block. They look at it. They wonder what it is. They decide to keep it. They think it is a treasure. They forget about the tower. They are happy. +Sara and Ben liked to play outside with their dog, Spot. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. Sometimes they would scatter leaves or petals and pretend they were fairies or pirates. Spot would run and jump and try to catch them. + +One day, they saw something unusual in their mailbox. It was a shiny red envelope with a gold star on it. Sara and Ben ran to get it, but Spot was faster. He grabbed the envelope in his mouth and ran away. + +"Spot, come back!" Sara shouted. "That is not a toy!" + +"Bad dog!" Ben said. "We want to see what is inside!" + +They chased Spot around the yard, but he was too quick and clever. He dodged and darted and hid behind the trees. He thought it was a fun game. + +Finally, he stopped near the fence and dropped the envelope. Sara and Ben caught up with him and picked it up. They opened it carefully and found a card. It had a picture of a cake and balloons and said: "Happy birthday, Sara and Ben! You are invited to a party at Amy's house. Love, Amy." + +Sara and Ben smiled. They forgot to be mad at Spot. They hugged him and thanked him for finding their invitation. + +"Look, Spot," Sara said. "We are going to a party!" + +"Maybe there will be more envelopes for you to play with," Ben said. + +Spot wagged his tail. He liked parties. He liked envelopes. He liked Sara and Ben. He was a happy dog. +Molly was a furry bunny who loved to hop and play in the garden. She liked to nibble on carrots and lettuce that grew there. One day, she saw a big carrot that looked very yummy. She ran towards it and tried to pull it out of the ground. + +"Ouch!" she cried. "This carrot is too hard. It hurts my teeth." + +She heard a voice behind her. It was Tom, the farmer's son. He was holding a basket of carrots. + +"Hello, Molly," he said. "Do you want a carrot? I have many in my basket. They are soft and sweet." + +Molly looked at him and nodded. She was hungry and tired from running. Tom smiled and gave her a carrot. He stroked her fur gently. + +"You are a good bunny, Molly," he said. "You can have as many carrots as you want. But you should also rest sometimes. Running too much is not good for you." + +Molly thanked him and ate the carrot. It was delicious. She felt happy and warm. She decided to rest next to Tom and his basket. She closed her eyes and dreamed of more carrots. +Jill and Ben love yogurt. They eat it every day after school. They like to twist the lid and see what color it is. Sometimes it is pink, sometimes it is white, sometimes it is purple. + +One day, Jill and Ben came home and saw a big bowl of yogurt on the table. It was white and creamy. They were very happy. They ran to the table and grabbed two spoons. + +"Can we have some, Mom?" they asked. + +"Yes, you can, but only if you are clean," Mom said. "Did you wash your hands?" + +Jill and Ben looked at their hands. They were dirty from playing outside. They had mud and grass and bugs on them. + +"Oops," they said. + +They ran to the bathroom and washed their hands with soap and water. They dried them with a towel. They ran back to the table. + +"Look, Mom, we are clean now," they said. + +"Good job," Mom said. "Now you can have some yogurt." + +Jill and Ben twisted the lid and scooped some yogurt with their spoons. They put it in their mouths and smiled. + +"Mmm, this is good," Jill said. + +"Yes, it is," Ben said. + +They ate and ate until the bowl was empty. They licked their spoons and their lips. + +"Thank you, Mom," they said. + +"You're welcome," Mom said. "But do you know what this yogurt is made of?" + +Jill and Ben shook their heads. + +"It is made of sour milk and good bugs," Mom said. + +Jill and Ben gasped. They looked at the bowl and then at each other. They felt something twist in their tummies. + +"Sour milk and good bugs?" they said. + +"Yuck!" +Tom and Lily were moving to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes with their toys and clothes. Mom and Dad said they had to unpack the boxes and put everything in the right place. + +But Tom and Lily did not want to unpack. They wanted to play outside. They looked out the window and saw a big yard with a swing and a slide. They also saw some rain drops falling from the sky. + +"Can we go outside, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Not now, Tom. It is raining. You will get wet and cold. You have to unpack first," Mom said. + +"But we don't like unpacking. It is boring," Lily said. + +"Unpacking is not boring. It is fun. You can find your favorite toys and books and make your room nice and cozy," Mom said. + +"Please, Mom. Just for a little while. We will be honest and come back soon," Tom said. + +Mom thought for a moment. She saw that Tom and Lily really wanted to play outside. She also saw that the rain was not very heavy. She smiled and said, "Okay, you can go outside for a little while. But you have to be careful and not get too dirty. And you have to be honest and come back when I call you. Deal?" + +"Deal!" Tom and Lily said. They put on their rain boots and jackets and ran outside. They had a lot of fun playing on the swing and the slide and jumping in the puddles. They were honest and came back when Mom called them. They also helped Mom and Dad unpack the boxes and make their new house feel like home. +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play in the living room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was the fireplace. They liked to observe the fire, how it danced and made noises. Sometimes they pretended to be firemen or explorers. + +One day, their mom told them not to go near the fireplace, because it was too hot and dangerous. She said she had to go to the store and would be back soon. She gave them a hug and a kiss and left them with their dad, who was working on his laptop. + +Tom and Mia were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They looked at the fireplace and wondered what it would feel like to touch it. They decided to try it, but they had to be sneaky. They waited until their dad was busy typing and then crawled towards the fireplace. + +"Tom, are you sure this is a good idea?" Mia whispered. + +"Shh, don't worry. It will be fun. Just be quick and careful," Tom whispered back. + +They reached the fireplace and stretched their hands towards the fire. But before they could touch it, they felt a sharp pain. They had burned their fingers on the metal screen. They screamed and pulled back their hands. + +Their dad heard them and turned around. He saw them crying and holding their fingers. He ran to them and took them to the sink. He put cold water on their fingers and wrapped them with bandages. He was angry and worried. + +"What were you thinking? You could have hurt yourselves badly. I told you not to go near the fireplace. Why didn't you listen?" he scolded them. + +Tom and Mia felt ashamed and sorry. They knew they had done something wrong. They hugged their dad and said they were sorry. + +"We were curious. We wanted to observe the fire. We didn't mean to be bad," they said. + +Their dad sighed and hugged them back. He said he loved them and forgave them, but they had to be more careful and obedient. He said he would read them a story to make them feel better. He took them to the couch and picked a book. + +Tom and Mia listened to the story and felt a little better. They looked at the fireplace and decided they didn't like it anymore. They liked their dad and his stories more. They learned their lesson and never went near the fireplace again. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play dress up with their mom's clothes. They find a big box of hats, scarves and gloves in the closet. They want to try them on. + +Tom picks a red hat with a feather. He puts it on his head. It is too big for him. It falls over his eyes. He can't see. He says, "This hat does not fit me. It is too big." + +Lily picks a purple scarf with stars. She wraps it around her neck. It is too long for her. It drags on the floor. She trips over it. She says, "This scarf does not fit me. It is too long." + +They look at each other and laugh. They look funny. They say, "We do not fit these clothes. They are too big and too long." + +They put the clothes back in the box. They find a smaller box with stickers, ribbons and buttons. They want to make their own hats. They take some paper and glue. They stick the stickers, ribbons and buttons on the paper. They make their own hats. + +Tom makes a blue hat with a button and a ribbon. Lily makes a yellow hat with a sticker and a bow. They put their hats on their heads. They fit them. They look at each other and smile. They look unique. They say, "We fit these hats. They are just right. We look unique. We like our hats." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a rope on it. They wanted to swing on the rope. But the rope was too high for them. They needed a stool to reach it. + +They looked around and saw a stool near a bench. The bench had a sign that said "Do not touch". The stool belonged to a lady who was sitting on the bench. She had a big hat and a long nose. She looked like a witch. + +Lily and Tom were scared of the witch. But they really wanted to swing on the rope. They decided to take the stool when the witch was not looking. They ran to the bench and grabbed the stool. They did not see the witch's bag on the stool. The bag fell to the ground and made a loud noise. + +The witch heard the noise and turned around. She saw Lily and Tom with her stool. She was very angry. She shouted at them and pointed her finger. She said she would turn them into frogs. + +Lily and Tom were very sorry. They felt guilty for taking the stool. They put the stool back and said they were sorry. They ran away from the witch. They did not want to swing on the rope anymore. They wanted to go home and hug their mom. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play and learn together. Today, they want to study the sun. They go outside with a big book and a magnifying glass. + +"Look, Lily, the sun is very bright and yellow. It makes the day warm and light. It is a big star," Ben says, pointing at the sky. + +"I see, Ben. The sun is amazing. Can we look at it closer with the magnifying glass?" Lily asks, holding the glass. + +"No, Lily, we can't. The sun is too hot and too far. The magnifying glass can make things bigger, but it can also make things burn. It is not safe to look at the sun with the glass. It can hurt our eyes," Ben explains, shaking his head. + +"Oh, I understand, Ben. Then, how can we study the sun more?" Lily wonders, putting the glass down. + +"We can read the book, Lily. The book has pictures and words about the sun and other stars. It tells us how the sun works and why it is important. It is easy to read and learn from the book. Do you want to read with me?" Ben offers, opening the book. + +"Yes, Ben, I do. Let's read and study the sun together. Maybe we can also draw the sun and make a poster. That would be fun," Lily agrees, smiling. + +Ben and Lily sit on the grass and read the book. They learn many things about the sun and enjoy their study time. They are happy and curious friends. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play dress-up. They have many hats, capes, and masks. They pretend to be heroes, animals, and monsters. + +One day, they find a new mask in their toy box. It is shiny and red. It has big eyes and a long nose. Anna thinks it is beautiful. She wants to wear it. But Ben wants it too. He says it is his turn to choose. + +They start to pull the mask. They both want it. They do not share. They do not listen. They do not say sorry. + +The mask is not strong. It rips in half. Anna and Ben are sad. They cry. They have no mask. + +They hear a noise. It is Mom. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken mask. She sees the tears. She hugs them. She says it is okay. + +She tells them a story. She says the mask was a gift from Grandma. She says Grandma made it with love. She says Grandma wanted them to have fun. She says Grandma would be happy if they shared. + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug. They say they love each other. They say they love Mom. They say they love Grandma. + +They ask Mom to fix the mask. Mom says she will try. She says she has some glue and some tape. She says she has some glitter and some stickers. She says they can help her. + +They go to the kitchen. They sit on the table. They work on the mask. They glue and tape. They glitter and sticker. They make the mask new. They make it better. They make it beautiful. + +They take turns to wear the mask. They play dress-up. They pretend to be heroes, animals, and monsters. They have fun. They share. They listen. They say thank you. + +They are happy. Mom is happy. Grandma is happy. The mask is happy. +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers, birds and trees. They also saw a big mushroom under a bush. It was brown and round and had white spots. + +"Look, mom, a mushroom!" Lily said. + +"Can we touch it?" Ben asked. + +Mom shook her head. "No, you can't. Some mushrooms are bad for you. They can make you sick or hurt you. You have to be careful." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to be good and safe. They looked at the mushroom from far away. It was very different from the other plants. + +"Why is it so tough?" Lily wondered. She touched a leaf and felt how soft it was. + +"Mushrooms are not like leaves. They are not plants. They are fungi. They grow from the ground and eat dead things. They can change their shape and color sometimes." Mom explained. + +Lily and Ben made a face. They did not like the sound of that. They did not want to eat dead things or change their shape and color. + +"Yuck, mushrooms are gross!" Ben said. + +"I agree. Let's go play somewhere else." Lily said. + +They ran away from the mushroom and found a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They had fun playing with them. They forgot about the mushroom and did not want to see it again. They liked plants better. They were pretty and nice. +Once there was a little girl named Sam. Sam was three years old and loved to solve puzzles. One day, Sam's mommy gave her a stack of puzzles to solve. Sam was so excited to try them! + +First, Sam slowly picked out one puzzle from the stack and started to solve it. She slowly figured out how the shapes fit together, and soon, the first puzzle was complete! Then, Sam picked out another puzzle from the stack.

His mom said yes and Jack was very happy. + +He stood next to her and watched her work. She explained how she had to be very careful when cleaning the sink. She was so fast and clever and Jack watched in awe. He wanted to be like her, so he asked questions and tried to do what she was doing. + +Eventually, his mom had finished cleaning the sink. She looked at Jack, who was still standing there with a huge grin. They both laughed and hugged. Jack felt proud that he had helped his mom clean the sink, and he was very clever to learn from her. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sophie. Sophie was three years old and she loved to whistle. She would whistle all the time, up and down the street. + +One day, Sophie's mommy bought her a cool, new journal. Sophie was so excited and she ran outside to try it out! She opened the journal and started to write. She wrote her name and drew some pictures. But then, she closed the journal and started to whistle again! + +Sophie whistled around the garden, around the trees and around the house. She was so happy and danced around as she whistled. + +Suddenly, her mommy came out of the house. She said, "That's a pretty good whistle, Sophie!" Sophie smiled and kept on whistling. + +The End. +Once there was a little girl named Sarah. She was so excited because today she was going to make a special blanket. + +First, Sarah gathered some colorful threads from the box. She put them all together and started to sew. She was getting tired, but she kept going. + +Suddenly, the blanket was finished! It felt so soft and fluffy. Sarah couldn't wait to snuggle up in it. + +But when Sarah tried it, she felt a bit dizzy. She had used too many threads and the blanket was too heavy. Sarah had to take some of the threads out until it felt just right. + +Sarah was so happy with her blanket. She was proud of all the work she had done. Now the blanket was perfect for cuddling! +Molly and her dad had a very special day planned. They were going to go for a drive in their car. Molly was so excited! She clapped her hands and bounced up and down in her car seat. + +Molly's dad turned on the car and the radio started to play a special kind of music that was called jazz.

Molly's dad explained that this was a famous jazz club. She was so excited! + +Molly and her dad entered the famous jazz club and listened to some amazing jazz music. Molly couldn't help but dance! She was having so much fun! + +After listening to the music, Molly and her dad went back to the car. Molly held tightly to her dad's hand as they drove away. What a special and exciting day they had! +Once upon a time there was an elderly man. He lived in a house near the beach and every day he liked to watch the waves rolling onto the reef. On this day, he was sitting on the sand near the edge of the sea and he could see the reef clearly in the distance. + +Suddenly, he got a surprise! He felt the ground start to shake beneath him. He jumped up and he looked around. What on earth was happening! It was an earthquake. + +The trees around him began to sway and he could hear the rocks falling onto the reef. The elderly man was scared, but he held onto his hat and stayed right where he was. After a few moments, the shaking stopped and the sea returned to its usual calm. + +The elderly man was relieved, but he knew he must be careful of earthquakes in future. He hoped it would never happen again. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a reliable sack that belonged to a 3 year old. One day the 3 year old took the sack and went on a wonderful adventure to visit a volcano. As the 3 year old got closer to the volcano, the air got warm and the ground shook. Suddenly the sack started to shake too! The 3 year old was so excited and opened the sack to find something most unusual. Inside the sack was a roller coaster! + +The 3 year old jumped onto the roller coaster and rode around and around the volcano, laughing and having fun. After the ride was over the 3 year old put the roller coaster back in the sack and walked back home. + +From that day on the sack was always reliable and the 3 year old relied on it for all its adventures. +John was jealous of his friends. They all had gotten haircuts and looked so fancy. He wanted one too! + +So one day, John and his mom went to the barber shop. John was nervous as they waited.

What is your name?" + +"I'm Lily," Lily said. "You have a pretty color. What is your name?" + +"I'm Violet," the butterfly said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, please," Lily said. "What can we do?" + +"We can fly and whistle together," Violet said. "We can explore the garden and see what we can find. We can have fun and be friends." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She whistled and held out her hand. Violet flew onto her palm and they started their adventure. They were happy and they whistled all day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has many lollipops. The lollipops are red, yellow, green, blue, and pink. They look yummy. + +Lily and Ben run to the truck. They want a lollipop. But the truck man says no. He says the lollipops are for a party. He says Lily and Ben have to go away. Lily and Ben are sad. They really want a lollipop. + +Then, they see a clear bag. The bag is on the ground. The bag has one lollipop. The lollipop is purple. It is the biggest lollipop they ever saw. Lily and Ben smile. They run to the bag. They both want the lollipop. + +Lily and Ben grab the bag. They pull and pull. They both yell. They yell, "It is mine! It is mine!" They do not want to share. They want the whole lollipop. They are not nice. + +The truck man hears them. He turns around. He sees Lily and Ben. He sees the bag. He sees the lollipop. He is angry. He yells, "Hey! That is my lollipop! Give it back!" He runs to Lily and Ben. He takes the bag. He takes the lollipop. He says, "You are bad kids. You cannot have a lollipop. You have to learn to share." He puts the bag and the lollipop in the truck. He drives away. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They are sorry. They wish they had shared. They wish they had a lollipop. They hug and say, "I am sorry. You are my friend. Next time, we will share." They go back to the park. They play and have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with paper and scissors. They liked to cut shapes and make animals and flowers. Lily cut a big circle and said, "Look, Ben, I made a sun!" + +Ben looked at her paper and said, "That's not a sun, Lily. That's a ball. A sun has rays and is yellow. Your paper is white." + +Lily felt sad and said, "No, Ben, it's a sun. I can make it yellow with crayons. And I can draw rays too. You are ignorant, Ben. You don't know anything." + +Ben felt angry and said, "I'm not ignorant, Lily. You are ignorant. You don't know how to cut properly. Your circle is not even. And your scissors are dull. You need new scissors." + +Lily and Ben started to argue and shout. They did not listen to each other. They did not answer each other's questions. They only said mean things. + +Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the paper and scissors on the floor and the crayons on the table. She saw Lily and Ben with red faces and tears in their eyes. She said, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Ben stopped arguing and looked at Mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We were playing with paper and scissors, but we disagreed on what we made. We said ignorant things to each other. We didn't answer nicely. We didn't share." + +Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you're sorry, Lily and Ben. It's okay to have different ideas and opinions, but it's not okay to be rude and hurtful. You should respect each other and listen to each other. You should answer politely and kindly. You should share your paper and scissors and crayons. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mom, we understand. We're sorry. Can we hug and make up?" + +Mom said, "Of course, you can. I love you both. Now, why don't you show me your paper and scissors creations? I'm sure they're beautiful and creative." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with boats. They had many toy boats of different colors and sizes. They also liked to watch big boats at the port, where they went with their dad sometimes. + +One day, they decided to teach their toy boats how to sail in the bathtub. They filled the tub with water and put some of their boats in it. They pretended to be captains and gave orders to their boats. + +"Go fast, red boat!" Tom said. "You are the leader of the fleet!" + +"Slow down, blue boat!" Lily said. "You are too close to the edge!" + +They had fun making their boats move and splash in the water. But then, they saw something weird in the tub. It was a big, green, slimy thing. It had eyes, a mouth, and tentacles. It looked like a monster! + +"Ah! What is that?" Tom screamed. + +"It's a sea monster!" Lily cried. + +The monster grabbed one of their boats with its tentacles and pulled it under the water. Then it grabbed another one, and another one. It ate all of their boats! + +Tom and Lily were very scared and sad. They ran out of the bathroom and called their dad. He came and saw the monster in the tub. He was surprised and angry. + +"Who put this in the tub?" he asked. + +"It's not ours, dad!" Tom said. + +"We don't know where it came from!" Lily said. + +Dad looked at the monster and recognized it. It was a toy octopus that he had bought for them a long time ago. But they had never played with it, and it had been forgotten in a closet. It had grown moldy and dirty over time. + +"This is your toy octopus, kids!" dad said. "You never played with it, and it got rotten and nasty. It ruined your boats and the tub!" + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They realized that they had been ungrateful and wasteful. They had too many toys and they did not take care of them. They wished they had played with the octopus before it became a monster. + +The moral of the story is: You should appreciate and take care of what you have, or you might lose it. +Lily and Sam love popcorn. They like to eat it when they watch a movie with Mom and Dad. Sometimes, they make popcorn in the big pot on the stove. Sometimes, they use the small bags in the microwave. They always share the popcorn with each other. + +One day, Lily and Sam get a big box in the mail. It is from Grandma and Grandpa. They live very far away. They cannot visit Lily and Sam often. But they like to send them gifts and letters. Lily and Sam are very happy to see the box. They wonder what is inside. + +Mom helps them open the box. Inside, they find a lot of popcorn. There are different colors and flavors of popcorn. There are red, green, yellow, and blue popcorn. There are sweet, salty, cheesy, and spicy popcorn. There is a note from Grandma and Grandpa. It says: "We miss you very much. We hope you enjoy this popcorn. It is from a special place that makes a lot of popcorn. They have many kinds of popcorn available. We picked some for you. We love you. Grandma and Grandpa." + +Lily and Sam are very excited. They thank Mom for helping them. They want to try the popcorn right away. They ask Mom if they can watch a movie with the popcorn. Mom says yes. She says they can pick a movie they like. She also says they can save some popcorn for later. Lily and Sam agree. They pick a movie they both like. They also pick some popcorn they both like. They sit on the couch with Mom and Dad. They enjoy the movie and the popcorn. They think of Grandma and Grandpa. They are very grateful for their gift. They decide to send them a thank you card and a picture of them with the popcorn. They think Grandma and Grandpa will like that. They are very happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Tom sees a new toy car in Lily's room. It is red and shiny. Tom wants to play with it. + +"Can I borrow your car, Lily?" Tom asks. + +"No, Tom. This is my car. Mommy gave it to me. It is a special order. You have your own toys," Lily says. + +"But I like your car. It is so fast and cool. Please, Lily. Just for a little while," Tom begs. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes to share, but she also loves her car. She decides to make a deal with Tom. + +"Okay, Tom. You can borrow my car, but only if you let me borrow your teddy bear. He is so soft and cuddly. And you have to be careful with my car. It is not rough. It is delicate," Lily says. + +Tom agrees. He gives Lily his teddy bear and takes her car. They play happily for a while. Tom zooms the car around the room. Lily hugs the teddy bear and makes him talk. + +They have fun with each other's toys. They learn to share and respect. They are good friends. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play outside. She had a big red ball that she bounced and threw and kicked. One day, it was very cold and icy outside. Lily wanted to play with her ball, but her mom said no. + +"Too icy, Lily. You can slip and fall and hurt yourself. Stay inside and play with your toys," her mom said. + +But Lily did not listen. She waited until her mom was busy and then she put on her coat and boots and hat. She took her ball and ran outside. She bounced and threw and kicked her ball on the icy ground. She had fun, but she was not careful. + +Soon, Lily slipped on the ice and fell down. She hit her head on the hard ground and felt a lot of pain. She cried and cried. Her mom heard her and ran outside. She saw Lily on the ground with blood on her head. She was very scared and angry. + +"Lily, why did you leave the house? I told you it was too icy. Now you are hurt and we have to go to the doctor," her mom said. + +She picked up Lily and took her inside. She wrapped a cloth around her head and called the doctor. The doctor said they had to come right away. Lily was still crying and felt very sorry. She wished she had listened to her mom. + +At the doctor's office, the doctor looked at Lily's head and cleaned the wound. He said she needed some stitches and a bandage. He gave her a shot to make the pain go away. Lily was very brave and did not cry anymore. She said sorry to the doctor and to her mom. + +The doctor smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily. You made a mistake, but you learned your lesson. Next time, listen to your mom and be careful when it's icy outside. Ice can be fun, but it can also be dangerous." + +Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She said, "I love you, mom. I'm sorry I left the house. I won't do it again. Thank you, doctor, for making me better." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "I love you, too, Lily. I'm glad you're okay. You're a good girl. Now let's go home and have some hot chocolate." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please. That sounds yummy." + +They left the doctor's office and went home. Lily learned her lesson and never played on the icy ground again. She played with her ball when it was warm and sunny and safe. She was happy and so was her mom. +One day, a little mouse named Milo wanted to wash his fur. He did not like to be dirty and smelly. He looked for some water in the underground tunnels where he lived with his family. He found a small puddle near a big pipe. He was happy and jumped into the water. + +But the water was not clean. It was dark and oily and made Milo's fur sticky and black. He felt bad and tried to get out of the water. He saw a big rat coming out of the pipe. The rat was mean and scary. He wanted to take the water for himself. He saw Milo and growled. + +"Get out of my water, you little pest!" the rat said. He moved closer to Milo and showed his sharp teeth. + +Milo was afraid and did not know what to do. He wished he had a friend to help him. He heard a soft voice behind him. + +"Leave him alone, you bully!" the voice said. Milo turned around and saw a little rabbit. The rabbit was white and fluffy and had long ears. He looked brave and kind. + +The rat was surprised and angry. He did not like rabbits. He thought they were weak and stupid. He snarled. + +"What are you doing here, you hopper? This is my underground. Go away or I will bite you!" + +The rabbit did not go away. He stood in front of Milo and faced the rat. He said. + +"This is not your underground. This is everyone's underground. You have no right to take the water and hurt the mouse. He just wanted to wash his fur. You should be generous and share the water. Or better yet, find another water that is clean and not oily." + +The rat did not like what the rabbit said. He felt ashamed and angry. He wanted to fight the rabbit and the mouse. But he saw that the rabbit was not afraid of him. He also saw that the mouse was grateful to the rabbit. He felt a little sorry for them. He thought maybe the rabbit was right. Maybe he should be generous and share the water. Or maybe he should find another water that was clean and not oily. + +He decided to do both. He said to the rabbit and the mouse. + +"Fine. You can have this water. I don't want it anyway. It is dirty and smelly. I will go and find another water that is clean and not oily. But don't come near my pipe again. Or I will bite you." + +He turned around and walked away. He did not look back. + +The rabbit and the mouse were happy and relieved. They thanked each other and became friends. They washed their fur in the water. They did not mind that it was dirty and smelly. They were glad that they had each other. They were generous and shared the water. They lived happily in the underground. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play together after school. One day, they saw a big box in the yard. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's play with the box," Anna said. "Maybe we can make a rocket." + +"OK," Ben said. "We can pretend to go to the moon." + +They ran to the box and climbed inside. They used crayons to draw buttons and windows on the cardboard. They made noises like a rocket. "Three, two, one, blast off!" they shouted. + +They closed their eyes and imagined they were flying in the sky. They saw stars and planets. They felt the wind and the sun. They were very glad. + +Soon, it was dark. They opened their eyes and saw the moon. It was big and bright. They smiled at each other. + +"Look, we made it to the moon!" Anna said. + +"Wow, it's so pretty," Ben said. + +They got out of the box and looked at the moon. They waved and said hello. They thought the moon was waving back. They hugged and laughed. + +They played with the box until their moms called them for dinner. They said goodbye to the moon and to each other. They promised to play again tomorrow. They were very happy. +Sara loves her pet cat, Fluffy. She likes to hug him and play with him. But sometimes, Sara is too rough with Fluffy. She pulls his tail and ears and makes him meow loudly. Fluffy does not like that. He tries to run away from Sara, but she chases him. + +One day, Sara sees a fake cat in the toy store. It looks like Fluffy, but it is not alive. It is made of fur and plastic. Sara wants the fake cat. She thinks it will be fun to pull its tail and ears and make it meow. She asks her mom to buy it for her. Her mom says no. She says Sara already has a real cat and she should be nice to him. + +Sara is angry. She cries and stomps her feet. She says she does not want Fluffy anymore. She says she wants the fake cat. Her mom is sad. She says Sara is being ungrateful and selfish. She says Fluffy is a living thing and he has feelings. She says Sara should love and respect him, not hurt him. + +Sara does not listen. She runs away from her mom and grabs the fake cat from the shelf. She pulls its tail and ears and makes it meow. But the fake cat does not move or cuddle. It does not purr or lick. It does not look at Sara or love her. It is just a toy. + +Sara feels lonely and bored. She misses Fluffy. She realizes she made a mistake. She puts the fake cat back on the shelf and runs back to her mom. She says she is sorry. She says she loves Fluffy and she will be gentle with him. Her mom hugs her and forgives her. They go home and find Fluffy sleeping on the couch. Sara gives him a soft hug and a kiss. Fluffy wakes up and purrs and licks her. Sara smiles and says he is the best pet ever. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind to your pets. They are not toys. They are your friends. +Lily liked to write. She wrote stories and letters and pictures with her crayons. She wrote on paper, on the wall, on the table, and on the floor. She did not care if Mommy and Daddy got angry. She just wanted to write. + +One day, Mommy and Daddy were very busy. They had to work and cook and clean and talk on the phone. They did not have time to play with Lily or read her stories. They told her to be quiet and good and not to make a mess. + +Lily was bored and sad. She wanted to write something new and fun. She looked around the house and saw a big clock on the wall. It had numbers and hands and a face. It made a tick-tock sound. Lily thought it was a pretty clock. She wanted to write on it. + +She got a chair and climbed on it. She reached for the clock and took it off the wall. She got a crayon and started to write on the clock. She wrote her name and a heart and a smiley face. She was happy. + +But then, the clock stopped. It did not make a tick-tock sound anymore. It did not move its hands. It was broken. Lily did not know what to do. She was scared. + +Mommy and Daddy heard a crash and came to see what happened. They saw Lily and the clock and the crayon. They were very angry. They yelled at Lily and took away her crayons. They told her she was naughty and bad and had to go to her room. They did not hug her or kiss her or say they loved her. + +Lily cried and cried. She was sorry and sad. She wished she had not written on the clock. She wished she had listened to Mommy and Daddy. She learned that writing is good, but not on things that are not yours. She learned that writing can make you happy, but not when you hurt others. She learned that writing is a gift, but not a toy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They saw a big wire on the ground. It was unknown to them. They wanted to touch it. + +"Look, a wire!" Lily said. "Let's see what it does." + +"No, Lily, don't!" Ben said. "It might be bad. It might hurt you." + +But Lily did not listen. She ran to the wire and tried to pick it up. She felt a shock in her hand. She screamed and dropped the wire. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "It hurts, it hurts!" + +Ben ran to Lily and hugged her. He was scared and sorry. + +"I told you, Lily, don't touch the wire!" Ben said. "It was close to the wall. It had power. Power can hurt you." + +Lily sobbed and nodded. She learned her lesson. She was not curious about the wire anymore. + +They went back to the house. They told their mom what happened. She was angry and worried. She checked Lily's hand. She put some cream on it. She gave them a hug and a kiss. + +"Next time, listen to your brother, Lily," mom said. "And stay away from unknown wires. They are dangerous." + +Lily and Ben said sorry. They promised to be careful. They played with their toys instead. They were happy and safe. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. They make noises like vroom and beep. + +One day, Tom finds a new car. It is big and red. It has a button on the side. Tom pushes the button. The car makes a loud sound. It has power. Tom is happy. He says, "Look, Sam, I have a power car. It is fast and strong. It can go over anything." + +Sam looks at the car. He wants to play with it too. He says, "Can I try your power car, Tom? It looks good. I like power cars." + +Tom says, "No, Sam, this is my power car. You have your own cars. Go play with them. This is mine." + +Sam is sad. He does not like Tom's words. He says, "But we are friends, Tom. Friends share. Sharing is good. Please let me play with your power car." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He remembers that Sam is his friend. He remembers that sharing is good. He says, "OK, Sam, you can play with my power car. But be careful. It is special. We can take turns." + +Sam is happy. He says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I will be careful. We can have fun with your power car." + +Tom and Sam play with the power car. They make noises like vroom and beep. They go over hills and bridges. They have fun. They are good friends. +Tim and Sue are playing in the garden. They see a big hole in the ground. They want to know what is inside. + +"Hello, is anyone there?" Tim shouts into the hole. + +A small, brown animal pops out of the hole. It has a long nose and tiny eyes. It is a mole. + +"Who are you?" the mole asks. + +"I am Tim and this is Sue. We are children. We live in the house over there," Tim says, pointing to the house. + +"What are you doing in my home?" the mole says. + +"We are sorry, we did not know it was your home. We were curious," Sue says. + +The mole looks at the garden. It is messy. There are toys, flowers, and dirt everywhere. + +"You are very messy. You should clean up your garden. It is not good for the plants and the animals," the mole says. + +"We are sorry, we like to play and have fun. We do not mean to hurt the plants and the animals," Tim says. + +"Playing and having fun is good, but you should also take care of your garden. It is your home too. If you help me, I will show you something nice," the mole says. + +"What is it?" Sue asks. + +"Come and see," the mole says. + +The mole goes back into the hole. Tim and Sue follow him. They see a tunnel with many shiny stones and shells. The mole has collected them from different places. + +"Wow, this is beautiful," Tim says. + +"Thank you. These are my treasures. I like to find them and bring them here. They make me happy," the mole says. + +"They make us happy too. Thank you for showing us," Sue says. + +"You are welcome. You are nice children. Maybe we can be friends," the mole says. + +"Yes, we would like that. We can help you with your treasures and you can help us with our garden," Tim says. + +"Deal," the mole says. + +They smile and shake hands. They have made a new friend. +Timmy was a little pig who lived in a big barn with his mom and dad and many brothers and sisters. He liked to play in the mud and eat corn and apples, but he was afraid of the dark. Every night, when the sun went down, he would tremble and hide under his blanket. + +One night, he heard a loud noise outside the barn. He peeked out and saw a big shadow with sharp teeth and glowing eyes. It was a wolf! The wolf was hungry and wanted to eat the pigs. He scratched and banged on the barn door, trying to get in. + +"Mommy, Daddy, help!" Timmy cried. "There's a wolf outside!" + +His mom and dad came to his side and hugged him. They told him not to worry, because they had a plan. They had seen the wolf coming and prepared a trap for him. They had dug a deep hole near the barn and covered it with straw and sticks. They hoped the wolf would fall into the hole and get stuck. + +"Be brave, Timmy," his dad said. "The wolf won't get us. We'll get him." + +They waited and listened. The wolf stopped banging on the door and sniffed around the barn. He smelled the pigs and followed the scent. He saw the straw and sticks and thought they were hiding under them. He jumped on them, hoping to catch them. + +But he was wrong. He fell into the hole and landed with a thud. He tried to climb out, but the hole was too deep and the walls were too slippery. He howled and growled, but no one came to help him. + +The pigs heard the wolf's cries and cheered. They had tricked him and saved themselves. They ran out of the barn and looked at the hole. They saw the wolf's miserable face and laughed. + +"Ha ha, stupid wolf!" Timmy said. "You can't eat us. You're in a big trouble." + +He was not afraid of the dark anymore. He was proud of his mom and dad and their clever plan. He was happy and safe in his big barn with his family. He did not tremble anymore. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog had a long neck and a loud bark. Lily and Sam were nervous. They did not know if the dog was nice or mean. + +"Let's skip to the swings," Lily said. "Maybe the dog will not see us." + +"OK," Sam said. "But we have to be fast." + +They held hands and started to skip. They skipped past the slide, the sandbox and the bench. They hoped the dog would not follow them. + +But the dog saw them. He ran after them. He wanted to play. He did not know he was scary. + +"Help!" Lily and Sam cried. "The dog is coming!" + +They reached the swings. They jumped on them and swung high. The dog stopped. He could not reach them. He wagged his tail and barked. + +"Hi, doggy," a voice said. "Are you lost?" + +Lily and Sam looked down. They saw a girl. She had a leash in her hand. She smiled at them. + +"This is Rex," she said. "He is my dog. He is very friendly. He just likes to chase things. He does not want to hurt you." + +Lily and Sam felt better. They stopped swinging. They got off the swings. + +"Can we pet him?" Lily asked. + +"Sure," the girl said. "He loves to be petted. Especially on his neck." + +Lily and Sam walked to the dog. They touched his fur. It was soft and warm. The dog licked their faces. He was happy. + +Lily and Sam laughed. They were not nervous anymore. They made a new friend. +Sam and Mia liked to play in the park. They had a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They also had a small pond with ducks and fish. One day, it rained a lot and the pond became very big. It was a flood! + +Sam and Mia wanted to see the flood. They put on their boots and coats and ran to the park. They saw the water was very high and fast. The ducks and fish were gone. The slide, the swing, and the sandbox were under water. Sam and Mia were sad. + +"Look, Mia, there is a boat!" Sam said. He pointed to a small wooden boat that was floating on the water. It had a rope and a paddle. "Let's go on the boat and explore the flood!" + +Mia was scared. She did not like the water. She thought the boat was not safe. "No, Sam, I don't want to go on the boat. It might tip over or get stuck. Let's go back home and wait for the water to go away." + +Sam was brave. He liked the water. He thought the boat was fun. "Come on, Mia, don't be a baby. The boat is fine. We can paddle and see new things. Maybe we can find the ducks and fish. Please, Mia, please!" + +Mia did not want to make Sam sad. She was flexible. She agreed to go on the boat with Sam. She held the rope and Sam held the paddle. They got on the boat and pushed it away from the shore. They started to paddle and explore the flood. + +They saw a lot of things. They saw a big tree that fell down. They saw a red ball that bounced on the water. They saw a yellow hat that flew in the wind. They saw a blue car that was stuck in the mud. They saw a lot of things, but they did not see the ducks and fish. + +They paddled and paddled until they came to a bridge. The bridge was very low and the water was very high. The boat could not go under the bridge. Sam tried to paddle back, but the water was too strong. The boat was pushed towards the bridge. Sam and Mia were scared. + +"Help, help!" Sam shouted. He dropped the paddle and grabbed the rope. He tried to pull the boat away from the bridge, but the rope was too short. The boat hit the bridge and made a loud noise. The boat broke into pieces. Sam and Mia fell into the water. + +"Help, help!" Mia shouted. She could not swim. She was sinking. She saw Sam. He could swim. He was flexible. He swam to Mia and grabbed her hand. He pulled her up to the surface. He saw the rope. He grabbed the rope and tied it around Mia's waist. He saw the shore. He pulled Mia to the shore. He saved Mia. + +Sam and Mia were wet and cold and tired. They were also happy. They hugged each other. They saw a man. He was a policeman. He saw Sam and Mia. He ran to them. He wrapped them in a blanket. He asked them if they were okay. He told them they were very lucky. He told them they should never go on a boat in a flood. He told them they should always listen to their parents. He told them they should surrender the boat to him. He took the boat and the rope and the paddle. He put them in his car. He drove Sam and Mia back home. He told their parents what happened. Their parents were angry and worried and relieved. They scolded Sam and Mia. They also hugged Sam and Mia. They thanked the policeman. They thanked Sam for saving Mia. They thanked Mia for being flexible. They told Sam and Mia they loved them. They told them to never do that again. Sam and Mia said they were sorry. They said they loved them too. They said they learned their lesson. They said they would never do that again. They meant it. +Lila loved her pony very much. She gave her pony a name: Rose. Rose was not a pretty pony. She had a big nose, a long tail and spots on her fur. But Lila did not care. She valued her pony more than anything. + +One day, Lila and Rose went to the park. They saw other children with their ponies. The other ponies were shiny and smooth. They had ribbons and bows in their hair. The other children laughed at Lila and Rose. They said, "Your pony is ugly! Why do you have such a bad pony?" + +Lila felt sad. She said, "Rose is not ugly. She is my friend. I value her very much. She is kind and smart and fun. You are mean and rude and boring." + +The other children did not listen. They kept laughing and teasing. They said, "Your pony is worthless. You should get rid of her. You should get a better pony like ours." + +Lila got angry. She said, "No! I will never get rid of Rose. She is the best pony in the world. You are the ones who are worthless. You do not know how to value a true friend." + +The other children got angry too. They said, "Fine! If you love your ugly pony so much, why don't you stay with her forever?" They grabbed Lila and Rose and pushed them into a big hole. They threw dirt and rocks on top of them. They said, "Bye bye, ugly pony and ugly girl. We do not want to see you ever again." + +Lila and Rose cried. They tried to get out of the hole, but it was too deep and too dark. They hugged each other and said, "I love you, I love you, I love you." They hoped that someone would find them and help them. But no one did. They stayed in the hole until they died. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had pots and pans, spoons and forks, and some things from the cupboard. + +"Let's make soup!" said Lily. She poured some water into a big pot and put it on the stove. "We need some salt to make it tasty." + +"OK!" said Ben. He grabbed a small jar of salt and opened it. He was about to pour some salt into the pot, when he heard a loud noise. + +"Ring, ring, ring!" It was the phone. It was on the table, next to the pot. + +"Who is it?" asked Lily. She was curious. + +"I don't know. Let's see!" said Ben. He was impatient. He put the jar of salt down and ran to the phone. He picked it up and said, "Hello?" + +But he did not hear anyone. He only heard a beep, beep, beep. It was a wrong number. + +"Who was it?" asked Lily. She came to the table. + +"Nobody. It was a mistake." said Ben. He was disappointed. + +He looked at the pot. He saw something strange. The water was white and bubbly. It smelled bad. + +"Oh no!" he said. "What happened?" + +He saw the jar of salt. It was upside down. All the salt had fallen into the pot. + +"We put too much salt in the soup!" he said. "It is ruined!" + +Lily and Ben were sad. They had to throw away the soup. They decided to play something else. They learned a lesson. They should not leave the salt open. And they should not answer the phone when they are cooking. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also made a loop of snow and threw it like a ring. They had fun, but they were very cold. + +"Let's go inside, Lily. I'm shivering," Ben said. + +"No, I want to play more. Look, I can make another loop," Lily said. She picked up some snow and tried to shape it. + +But the snow was too hard and icy. It hurt her hands. She dropped the snow and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, Ben. Help me!" Lily said. + +Ben ran to her and saw her hands. They were red and swollen. He was scared. + +"Come on, Lily. We have to go inside. Mom will help you," Ben said. He took her hand gently and pulled her. + +But Lily was too uncomfortable. She didn't want to move. She wanted to stay in the snow. She was stubborn. + +"No, Ben. Leave me alone. I don't want to go inside. I want to play," Lily said. She pushed him away. + +Ben was sad and angry. He didn't know what to do. He decided to leave her alone. He went inside and told Mom. + +Mom was worried. She put on her coat and boots and went outside. She looked for Lily. + +But Lily was not there. She was gone. + +The loop of snow had rolled down the hill and hit Lily. It knocked her down and covered her. She couldn't breathe. She couldn't scream. She couldn't move. + +She was buried in the snow. She was cold. She was shivering. She was gone. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They wanted to make a big building with many rooms and windows. They worked hard and had fun. + +"Look, our building is almost done!" Lily said. "We just need a few more blocks." + +"Can I help?" a voice asked. It was Sam, their neighbor. He was curious about their building. + +"Sure, Sam. You can join us," Ben said. He gave Sam some blocks. + +Sam looked at the building. He saw a window that was not finished. He wanted to see what was inside. He pushed a block to make a hole. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Lily cried. "You broke our window!" + +Sam peeked through the hole. He saw nothing but more blocks. He felt sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was curious. I wanted to see what was inside your building," Sam said. + +Lily was angry. She did not like that Sam ruined her work. She picked up a block and threw it at Sam. + +"Ow!" Sam said. He rubbed his head. + +Ben saw what happened. He did not like that Lily hurt Sam. He put down his blocks and went to Sam. + +"Are you okay, Sam?" Ben asked. He helped Sam stand up. + +"I'm okay, Ben. Thank you," Sam said. He smiled at Ben. + +Lily saw that Ben was nice to Sam. She felt bad. She realized that she was wrong to throw a block at Sam. She went to Sam and Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I was wrong to throw a block at you. You were just curious. Can we be friends?" Lily asked. + +Sam nodded. He forgave Lily. He hugged her. + +"Of course, Lily. We can be friends. I'm sorry, too. I was wrong to break your window. Can we finish your building together?" Sam asked. + +Lily nodded. She smiled at Sam. She hugged him back. + +"Of course, Sam. We can finish our building together. Come on, let's go," Lily said. + +They went back to their blocks. They fixed the window and added more blocks. They finished their building. They were happy. + +The moral of the story is: Curiosity is good, but you should not break other people's things. You should say sorry when you make a mistake. You should forgive when someone says sorry. You should be kind and share. You can make new friends and have more fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a small bracelet on the grass. It is shiny and pretty. + +"Look, Ben, a bracelet!" Anna says. She picks it up and puts it on her wrist. + +"Wow, Anna, it is nice. Where did it come from?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone lost it. Maybe it is magic," Anna says. She feels happy with the bracelet. + +They walk around the park and see the flowers, the birds, and the swings. They have fun. But then, they hear a voice. + +"Hey, that's my bracelet! Give it back!" The voice is angry and loud. It is a big girl. She runs to Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They don't want to make the big girl mad. But they also like the bracelet. + +"Sorry, big girl. We didn't know it was yours. We found it on the grass," Anna says. + +"Yeah, sorry. We thought it was magic," Ben says. + +The big girl snatches the bracelet from Anna's wrist. She glares at them. + +"It's not magic. It's mine. My mom gave it to me. Don't touch it again," she says. She walks away. + +Anna and Ben feel sad. They liked the bracelet. They walk back to the bench where their moms are waiting. + +"Hi, kids. Did you have fun?" Anna's mom asks. + +"Not really. A big girl took our bracelet," Anna says. + +"Your bracelet? What bracelet?" Ben's mom asks. + +"A small bracelet. It was shiny and pretty. We found it on the grass. But the big girl said it was hers," Ben says. + +"Oh, I see. Well, maybe the big girl was looking for it. Maybe she was worried. It's not nice to take things that don't belong to you," Anna's mom says. + +"But we didn't take it. We just found it," Anna says. + +"I know, honey. But sometimes, things that look nice are not ours to keep. We have to be careful and respectful. Maybe next time, you can ask someone if they lost something before you play with it," Ben's mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They hug their moms and say sorry. They learn a lesson. They still like bracelets, but they also like being kind. +Ben and Lily were having lunch with their mom. They had yummy soup and bread. Ben liked to dip his bread in the soup. Lily liked to eat her bread with butter. + +"Can I have some butter, please?" Lily asked her mom. + +"Sure, here you go," mom said and gave her a small knife and a plate with butter. + +Lily took the knife and the plate and put some butter on her bread. She was about to take a bite when she saw something on the plate. + +"Mom, what is this?" Lily asked and pointed to a rough spot on the plate. + +Mom looked at the plate and saw a small crack. She remembered that she had lent the plate to her friend Anna, who had a cat. + +"Oh, that's a crack. It means the plate is broken a little bit. I think Anna's cat did that. He likes to play with plates and cups," mom explained. + +"Can we fix it?" Lily asked. + +"I don't think so, sweetie. It's too small to glue. But don't worry, it's still safe to use. Just be careful not to cut yourself," mom said. + +"Okay, mom. Can I lend you my plate?" Lily asked and offered her plate to mom. + +"That's very kind of you, Lily. But I have my own plate. You can keep yours. Thank you for sharing," mom said and smiled. + +Ben and Lily finished their lunch and gave mom a hug. They liked to help mom and be nice to each other. They also liked to lend and borrow things, but not from Anna's cat. He was too rough with plates. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They want to prepare for summer. They have a big idea. + +They go to the shed and find some paint. They find some brushes and some paper. They want to make colorful pictures for their wall. They say, "Let's paint!" + +They paint flowers and trees and birds and butterflies. They use red and yellow and blue and green. They make a mess, but they have fun. They say, "Look at our pictures! They are so pretty!" + +They take their pictures and go to the wall. They use tape and stick them on the wall. They make a colorful garden on the wall. They say, "We are ready for summer! We have a beautiful wall!" + +They smile and hug. They are happy. They love their pictures and their wall. They love summer and each other. They say, "We are good friends!" +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the attic. It had many things inside. They saw photos, books, toys, and clothes. + +"Look, Lily, this is mom when she was little!" Tom said. He showed her a photo of a girl with curly hair and a smile. + +"She looks like you, Tom!" Lily said. She saw another photo of a boy with glasses and a hat. "And this is dad!" + +They laughed and hugged the photos. They were happy to see their parents' memories. + +"Let's decorate our room with these things!" Lily said. She had an idea. "We can make it more attractive and fun!" + +"Good idea, Lily!" Tom said. He agreed. "We can use the clothes to make costumes, and the toys to make stories!" + +They took the box to their room. They put the photos on the wall, the books on the shelf, the toys on the bed, and the clothes in the closet. They decorated their room with their parents' memories. They felt closer to them. + +They played for a long time. They pretended to be their parents, their grandparents, their friends, and their heroes. They had a lot of fun. They made new memories. + +When mom and dad came home, they saw their room. They were surprised and happy. + +"Wow, you decorated your room with our things!" mom said. She smiled. "You did a great job!" + +"Thank you, mom!" Lily and Tom said. They showed them their costumes and their stories. + +"We are glad you like our memories!" dad said. He hugged them. "And we love your memories, too!" +Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. One day, Sam brought a new toy to school. It was a big green frog that could hop and croak. Lily wanted to play with it too. + +"Can you lend me your frog?" Lily asked Sam. + +"Okay, but only for a little while," Sam said. He gave Lily his frog and watched her make it hop and croak. He smiled and said, "It is a fun frog, right?" + +"Yes, it is a fun frog," Lily said. "But it is also a disgusting frog. Look, it has slime on its skin. And it smells bad. Yuck!" + +Lily gave the frog back to Sam and wiped her hands on her dress. She said, "I don't like your frog. It is not a nice toy. It is a gross toy." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He liked his frog. He thought it was a cool toy. He said, "My frog is not gross. It is a real frog. It has slime and smell because it is alive. It is a life. You are mean, Lily. You are not my friend." + +Sam took his frog and ran away. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He wanted to find someone who liked his frog and who was nice to him. He thought, "Lily is disgusting. She is not a fun friend. She is a rude friend." +Lily was a big girl who liked to learn new things. She went to school with her friends and had a nice teach who showed them how to read, write and count. Lily was good at all these things, but she wanted to learn more. She wanted to learn how to play the piano, like her mom. + +One day, Lily saw a piano in the school hall. It was shiny and black and had many keys. Lily felt an urge to touch the keys and make sounds. She looked around and saw no one. She ran to the piano and climbed on the stool. She put her fingers on the keys and pressed them. The piano made loud and strange noises. Lily liked it and pressed more keys. + +"Stop! Stop!" a voice said. Lily turned and saw the music teach. He looked angry and sad. "What are you doing, Lily? You are hurting the piano. You don't know how to play it. You need to learn first." + +Lily felt scared and sorry. She did not want to hurt the piano or make the teach mad. She got off the stool and said, "I'm sorry, teach. I just wanted to play the piano, like my mom. Can you teach me how to play it?" + +The music teach sighed and smiled. He said, "Lily, I'm glad you want to play the piano, but you need to be patient and respectful. The piano is a special instrument that needs care and practice. You can't just play it without knowing how. If you want to learn, you need to ask me first and follow my rules. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, teach. I understand. Can you please teach me how to play the piano?" + +The music teach said, "Yes, Lily. I can teach you, but you need to be ready. You need to listen to me, follow my instructions, and practice every day. It will take time and effort, but you will learn. Are you ready?" + +Lily said, "Yes, teach. I'm ready. Thank you for teaching me." + +The music teach said, "You're welcome, Lily. Come on, let's start with the basics. This is how you sit on the stool. This is how you hold your hands. This is how you press the keys. This is how you make music." + +Lily smiled and followed the teach. She was happy and excited. She learned how to play the piano, and she learned how to be patient and respectful. She made the teach proud and the piano happy. She also made her mom happy, when she played a song for her at home. Lily was a big girl who liked to learn new things. +Sara and Anna are sisters. They like to play with dolls and dress them up. Sara has a lovely doll with long hair and a pink dress. Anna has a doll with curly hair and a blue dress. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, Sara sees a bottle of lotion on the table. She thinks it will make her doll's hair shiny and soft. She takes the lotion and puts some on her doll's hair. But the lotion is sticky and makes the hair clump together. Sara tries to comb the hair, but it only gets worse. She starts to cry. + +Anna hears Sara crying and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the lotion and the doll's hair. She feels sorry for Sara and gives her a hug. She says, "Don't cry, Sara. We can fix it. Let's wash the doll's hair with water and soap. Maybe it will come off." + +They go to the bathroom and wash the doll's hair. They rub and rinse and dry the hair. The lotion comes off, but the hair is still tangled and frizzy. Sara looks at her doll and says, "She is not lovely anymore. I miss her long hair and her pink dress. I was silly to use the lotion. I should have asked first." + +Anna says, "She is still lovely, Sara. She is your doll and you love her. Her hair and her dress don't matter. What matters is how you treat her and play with her. You can still have fun with her. And maybe we can find a new dress for her later." + +Sara smiles and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good sister. You are right. I love my doll and I will play with her. And I will not use lotion on her hair again. I learned my lesson." + +They hug and go back to their room. They play with their dolls and have fun. They are happy. +Sam and Mia were very happy. They were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags and toys in the car. They wanted to see the big sea and the big boats. + +"Are we there yet?" Sam asked. + +"Soon, honey," Mom said. "Look, there is the bridge. We have to cross it to get to the island." + +Sam and Mia looked out the window. They saw the big bridge over the water. It was very high and long. They saw many cars and trucks on the bridge. + +"Wow, look at that!" Mia said. "That truck has a big balloon on it. It is red and round. I want it!" + +Mia opened the door and jumped out of the car. She ran after the truck. She wanted to pull the balloon. + +"Mia, no!" Mom and Dad shouted. They stopped the car and got out. They tried to catch Mia. + +But it was too late. The truck was too fast. Mia could not pull the balloon. She fell off the bridge. She hit the water. She did not come up. + +Sam, Mom and Dad cried. They did not go on vacation. They went home. They were very sad. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and brown. It has sharp teeth and a loud bark. + +"Wow, look at that dog!" Tom says. "It is so big and strong. I want to pet it." + +Sam is scared. He shakes his head. "No, Tom, we can't pet it. It is not our dog. It may bite us. That is the law. We have to ask the owner first." + +Tom does not listen. He runs to the dog. He reaches out his hand. The dog growls. It snaps at Tom. Tom screams. He pulls back his hand. It is bleeding. + +Sam runs to Tom. He helps him. He wraps his scarf around Tom's hand. He says, "Tom, are you okay? You were very weak. You did not follow the law. You made the dog angry. You should have nodded to me." + +Tom is sorry. He nods to Sam. He says, "You are right, Sam. I was weak. I did not follow the law. I made the dog angry. I should have nodded to you. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend." + +They go to the nurse. She cleans Tom's hand. She puts a bandage on it. She says, "You are lucky. The dog did not bite you hard. Next time, be careful. Do not pet strange dogs. Follow the law. Nod to your friend." + +Tom and Sam nod to the nurse. They say, "Yes, we will. We learned our lesson. We will follow the law. We will nod to our friend." They hug each other. They go home. They are still friends. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the living room. It was a gift from their grandma, who was deaf and could not hear them. They opened the box and saw a beautiful dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. They were very happy and thanked their grandma with hugs and kisses. + +They decided to play with the dollhouse together, but soon they had a problem. Ben wanted to put his toy car in the garage, but Lily said no. She said the garage was for her toy horse, and the car was too big. Ben said that was not fair, and tried to take the horse out. Lily said that was not nice, and pulled the car away. They started to fight and yell. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them pulling and pushing the toys and the dollhouse. She was not happy and said, "Stop! You are being very rude and selfish. You should share your toys and play nicely. Grandma gave you this dollhouse to make you happy, not to make you fight. How do you think she would feel if she saw you like this?" + +Ben and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They knew their mom was right, and they loved their grandma. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They hugged and made up. They decided to share the toys and the dollhouse, and to play together. They also made a card for their grandma, and drew a picture of them smiling with the dollhouse. They put the card in an envelope and asked their mom to help them send it to their grandma. They hoped their grandma would like it and be happy too. +Anna and Ben like to play outside. They have a big yard with a swing, a slide and a seesaw. They like to swing high, slide fast and seesaw up and down. They also like to balance on the fence. They try to walk on the fence without falling off. They hold their arms out and look at the sky. + +One day, the weather is very nice. The sun is bright and the air is warm. Anna and Ben want to play outside all day. They put on their hats and shoes and run to the yard. They swing, slide and seesaw. They also balance on the fence. They walk on the fence and see the flowers, the birds and the clouds. + +They get hungry and thirsty. They go inside and ask their mom for a snack. Their mom gives them some yummy food. She gives them apple slices, cheese sticks and juice. They eat and drink and say thank you. They feel happy and full. They go back outside and play some more. They have a lot of fun. They love the weather, the balance and the yummy food. +Anna and Ben were twins, but they were very different. Anna liked red things, and Ben liked blue things. Anna liked sweet things, and Ben liked sour things. Anna liked to share, and Ben liked to keep. + +One day, their mom gave them each a cherry. Anna was happy, because cherries were red and sweet. Ben was not happy, because cherries were not blue and sour. He wanted a lemon instead. + +"Can I have your cherry, Ben?" Anna asked. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. He did not want to share. + +Anna was sad, but she did not want to fight. She ate her cherry and smiled. Ben put his cherry in his pocket and ran away. + +He wanted to find a lemon, but he did not know where to look. He ran around the yard, the street, the park, but he did not see any lemons. He saw many other things, like flowers, birds, cars, but no lemons. + +He was getting tired and hungry. He decided to go back home and eat his cherry. He reached into his pocket, but he did not feel his cherry. He looked inside, but he did not see his cherry. He had lost his cherry! + +He started to cry. He wanted his cherry back. He wanted to share with Anna. He wanted to say sorry. But it was too late. His cherry was gone, and he did not know where it was. + +He ran back home, hoping to find his cherry there. But he did not find his cherry. He found Anna, who was playing with a lemon. She had found it in the park, where Ben had dropped his cherry. + +"Look, Ben, I found a lemon!" Anna said. "Do you want to share it with me?" + +Ben did not answer. He was too angry and sad. He had lost his cherry, and Anna had his lemon. He felt very different from his sister. He felt very alone. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their pet bird, Lila. Lila is yellow and blue and can sing very well. Sara and Ben have a cage for Lila, but they also let her fly around the room sometimes. + +One day, Sara and Ben are playing with Lila in their bedroom. They are making funny noises and Lila is copying them. They are having a lot of fun. But then, they hear their mom calling them. + +"Sara, Ben, it's time for lunch. Come downstairs, please." + +Sara and Ben say "OK, mom" and run to the door. They forget to close the cage. Lila sees the open cage and thinks it is a game. She flies out of the cage and follows Sara and Ben. + +Sara and Ben do not notice Lila behind them. They go downstairs and sit at the table. Mom has made sandwiches and juice for them. They start to eat and talk. + +"Mom, Lila can sing very well. She can copy our noises. She is very smart." + +Mom smiles and says "That's nice, dear. I'm glad you like your bird. But where is she? Did you put her back in the cage?" + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They remember the open cage. They say "Oh no, mom. We forgot to close the cage. Lila is not in the cage. Where is she?" + +Mom says "Don't worry, we'll find her. Maybe she is still in your room. Let's go and look." + +They leave their plates and go upstairs. They look in their room, but they do not see Lila. They look in the bathroom, the closet, the hallway, but they do not see Lila. They start to feel sad and scared. + +"Where is Lila, mom? What if she is lost? What if she is hurt?" + +Mom says "Don't cry, sweeties. Lila is a smart bird. She will not go far. Maybe she is hiding somewhere. Let's keep looking." + +They go downstairs and look in the living room, the kitchen, the garage, but they do not see Lila. They are about to give up, when they hear a familiar sound. + +"Tweet, tweet, tweet." + +They follow the sound and find Lila in the laundry room. She is sitting on a pile of clothes and singing. She sees Sara and Ben and says "Hello, hello, hello." + +Sara and Ben are very happy. They hug Lila and say "Lila, we found you. We are sorry we forgot to close the cage. We love you." + +Lila says "I love you too. I followed you. I wanted to play. It was fun." + +Mom says "Lila, you are a naughty bird. You scared us. But we are glad you are safe. Next time, stay in your cage, OK?" + +Lila says "OK, OK, OK." + +Mom says "Now, let's go back to the table and finish our lunch. And then, we have to tidy up the laundry room. Lila made a mess." + +Sara and Ben say "Yes, mom." + +They take Lila back to the cage and close it. They go back to the table and eat their sandwiches and juice. They are happy and hungry. They thank mom for the lunch. Then, they help mom to tidy up the laundry room. They fold the clothes and put them away. They make the laundry room neat and clean. They are good and helpful. Mom is proud of them. Lila is quiet and sleepy. She sings a little song and falls asleep. They all have a good day. The end. +Sara loved to read books. She had many books on her bookshelf in her room. She liked to look at the pictures and make up stories in her head. Sometimes, her mom or dad would read to her before bed. + +One day, Sara came home from preschool and wanted to read a book. She ran to her room and looked at her bookshelf. But she saw something that made her sad and angry. Her little brother, Ben, had taken some of her books and ripped them apart. He had thrown the pages all over the floor. He had also drawn on some of the covers with crayons. + +Sara screamed and cried. She ran to her mom and told her what Ben had done. Her mom was shocked and upset. She went to Sara's room and saw the mess. She scolded Ben and made him pick up the papers. She told him he was very naughty and he had to say sorry to Sara. + +Ben said sorry, but Sara did not forgive him. She said he had killed her books. She said they were dead and she could not read them anymore. She said she hated him and she never wanted to play with him again. + +Sara's mom hugged her and tried to calm her down. She said she understood how Sara felt, but she also said that books were not alive and they could not die. She said they were just things that could be fixed or replaced. She said she would buy Sara some new books and help her glue the old ones back together. She said she loved Sara and Ben very much and she wanted them to love each other too. + +She asked Sara to remember a time when Ben was nice to her and did something to make her happy. Sara thought for a while and remembered when Ben gave her a flower he had picked from the garden. She remembered when he shared his cookies with her. She remembered when he made her laugh with his funny faces. She felt a little better and a little less angry. She decided to give Ben a chance and try to be nice to him. She said she was sorry for yelling at him and she hugged him. Ben hugged her back and said he was sorry for ruining her books. He said he liked her books too and he wanted to read them with her. + +Sara's mom smiled and said she was proud of them. She said they were good siblings and good friends. She said they could go to the library and borrow some more books to read together. Sara and Ben agreed and said they loved books and they loved their mom. They went to the library and had a fun time. They learned to take care of their books and each other. They lived happily ever after. The end. +Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw many animals there. They saw ducks, rabbits, squirrels and birds. They liked to feed them bread and seeds. Mom told them to behave and not to scare the animals. + +Then they saw a deer. It was huge and brown. It had big horns on its head. Lily and Ben wanted to see it closer. They ran towards it. The deer saw them and got scared. It ran away very fast. Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to pet the deer. + +Mom came and hugged them. She said, "I know you like the deer, but you have to be gentle and quiet. The deer is shy and does not like loud noises. Maybe next time, we can watch it from far away and see how it eats and plays. Would you like that?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry. They learned to behave better with the animals. They had fun at the park. They saw many other things. They saw a slide, a swing, a sandbox and a fountain. They played until it was time to go home. They thanked Mom for taking them to the park. They said they loved her. Mom smiled and said she loved them too. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with a hole. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They went to the tree and looked in the hole. They saw a big owl with yellow eyes. The owl was sleeping. Lily and Ben were curious. They wanted to say hello to the owl. + +"Hello, owl!" Lily said in a loud voice. She waved her hand at the owl. + +The owl woke up. He was not happy. He did not like to be disturbed. He made a loud noise. He flapped his wings. He looked angry. + +"Go away, go away!" the owl said. He glared at Lily and Ben. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They ran away from the tree. They did not want to make the owl more angry. + +They felt ashamed. They knew they should not have bothered the owl. They should have let him sleep. + +They went to their mom. They told her what happened. Their mom hugged them. She said they should be more careful and respectful of animals. + +She said they could say sorry to the owl later, when he was awake and calm. She said maybe the owl would be friendly then. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They hoped the owl would forgive them. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. Today, they have a new game. They pretend to be in a restaurant. Anna is the cook and Ben is the customer. + +Ben sits at the table and looks at the menu. He sees many things he likes. He wants to order pizza, ice cream, and juice. He says to Anna, "I want pizza, ice cream, and juice, please." + +Anna shakes her head. She says, "No, you cannot have pizza, ice cream, and juice. That is too much. You have to choose one thing." + +Ben is not happy. He says, "But I want all of them. They are yummy. You are a bad cook. You have to give me what I want." + +Anna is angry. She says, "No, I am a good cook. You are a bad customer. You have to follow the rules. You can only have one thing. Or you can have nothing." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He does not want to have nothing. He likes to eat. He looks at the menu again. He sees something he does not like. He sees black. He does not like black. He says to Anna, "OK, I will choose one thing. I will have black, please." + +Anna is surprised. She says, "Black? You want black? Why do you want black? Black is not food. Black is a color. You cannot eat black." + +Ben smiles. He says, "I know. I do not want to eat black. I want to trick you. I want to make you excited. I want to see your face when you try to give me black." + +Anna is not amused. She says, "That is not funny. That is silly. You are a silly customer. You do not know how to play. I do not want to play with you anymore." + +She takes the menu and the toys and goes to her room. Ben is left alone at the table. He feels sad. He says to himself, "Maybe I was too silly. Maybe I should say sorry to Anna. Maybe we can play again." +Anna loved to read. She read many books with big pictures and small words. She liked to learn new things from the books. She had a notebook where she wrote and drew what she read. She was very jolly when she read and wrote. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her notebook and a pencil. She saw many things in the park: birds, flowers, trees, swings, slides. She wanted to write and draw them in her notebook. She asked her mom and dad if she could sit on a bench and do that. They said yes, but told her to stay where they could see her. + +Anna sat on the bench and opened her notebook. She wrote and drew the things she saw in the park. She was very happy. She did not notice that a boy came near her. The boy was bored. He had no books, no notebook, no pencil. He saw Anna's notebook and wanted to have it. He grabbed it from her hands and ran away. + +Anna was very sad. She cried and called her mom and dad. They came to her and hugged her. They asked her what happened. She told them that a boy took her notebook. They looked around and saw the boy. He was sitting on another bench, looking at the notebook. He did not look happy. He looked confused and angry. He did not know how to read or write. He did not understand what Anna had written and drawn. He threw the notebook on the ground and walked away. + +Anna's mom and dad picked up the notebook and gave it back to her. They checked if it was damaged. It was not. They told Anna that they were sorry that the boy was mean to her. They also told her that the boy was probably unhappy because he did not know how to read or write. They said that reading and writing are good things that make people jolly and smart. They said that Anna should be proud of her notebook and her skills. They said that maybe one day, the boy would learn to read and write too, and then he would be jolly and kind. + +Anna smiled and hugged her mom and dad. She felt better. She said that she was sorry for the boy too. She said that she hoped he would learn to read and write soon. She said that she loved to read and write. She said that she wanted to share her books and her notebook with other children who wanted to learn. She said that reading and writing made her happy and jolly. She said that she wanted to make others happy and jolly too. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big hose. They want to have fun with the hose. + +"Let's soak the flowers!" Sara says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They turn on the hose and spray water on the flowers. The flowers are wet and happy. Sara and Ben are wet and happy too. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "You are making a mess! You are wasting water! You are not helping with the work!" + +Sara and Ben are scared. They turn off the hose and run to Mom. + +"Sorry, Mom," Sara says. + +"We just wanted to play," Ben says. + +Mom sighs. She is not angry anymore. She is tired. She has a lot of work to do. + +"I know, I know," Mom says. "But you have to be careful. The hose is not a toy. And you have to respect the flowers. They are not for soaking. They are for smelling and looking." + +Sara and Ben nod. They understand. They love the flowers too. + +"Can we help you with the work, Mom?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, you can," Mom says. "You can help me pick some flowers for the vase. And you can help me dry the hose and put it away. And you can help me clean your clothes and shoes. They are soaked!" + +Sara and Ben smile. They like to help Mom. They think work is fun. They are not nosy. They are good. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. They wanted to feed the ducks some bread. Mom gave them some bread and said, "Be careful, don't go too close to the water." + +Ben and Lily threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks were happy and quacked. But then, they saw something else in the water. It was an alligator! It had big teeth and a long tail. It looked hungry and angry. It swam towards the ducks and the bread. + +"Look, mom, an alligator!" Ben shouted. + +"Oh no, it's going to eat the ducks!" Lily cried. + +Mom grabbed Ben and Lily and pulled them away from the pond. She said, "Stay here, I'll call for help." + +But Ben and Lily didn't want to leave the ducks. They wanted to save them from the alligator. They saw a big stick on the ground. They picked it up and ran back to the pond. They waved the stick at the alligator and shouted, "Go away, go away, you filthy alligator!" + +The alligator was surprised and scared. It didn't like the stick and the noise. It turned around and swam away from the pond. The ducks were safe and thanked Ben and Lily with more quacks. + +Mom came back with a park ranger. She saw Ben and Lily with the stick and the ducks. She was proud and relieved. She hugged them and said, "You are very brave, but also very naughty. You shouldn't go near the alligator. It could have hurt you." + +Ben and Lily said, "We're sorry, mom. We just wanted to save the ducks. They are our friends." + +Mom said, "I know, but you have to be careful. Alligators are dangerous and filthy. They don't belong in the pond. The park ranger will take it away and put it in a better place." + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We love you." + +They gave the ducks some more bread and said goodbye. They left the park with mom and the park ranger. They were happy and proud. They had saved the ducks from the alligator. +Lily and Ben were eager to go outside and play in the snow. They put on their coats, hats, boots and gloves and ran to the door. "Can we go, Mom?" they asked. + +Mom looked at the sky and frowned. "It's very cold and windy today, kids. And it might snow more. Are you sure you want to go?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Ben said. "Please, Mom, we'll be careful." + +Mom sighed and nodded. "All right, but don't go too far and come back soon. And stay away from the woods. They are wild and dangerous." + +Lily and Ben thanked Mom and went outside. They had fun making snowballs, snowmen and snow angels. They laughed and chased each other. They forgot about the time and the cold. + +They saw a big hill near the woods and decided to climb it. They thought they could see the whole town from there. They did not listen to Mom's warning. They did not see the dark clouds and the snowflakes. + +They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw the town, but it was very far and small. They saw the woods, but they were very close and big. They saw a wolf, but it was not friendly. It was hungry. + +The wolf saw them and growled. It showed its teeth and ran towards them. Lily and Ben were scared. They tried to run away, but they slipped and fell. They shivered and cried. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had stayed away from the woods. They wished they had gone back home. But it was too late. The wolf was faster and stronger. It caught them and ate them. The end. +Tom and Sue like to play in the park. They see a big barrel near the slide. The barrel is blue and round. Tom says, "Let's roll the barrel down the hill." Sue says, "OK, that sounds fun." + +They push the barrel to the top of the hill. The barrel is heavy and hard. They have to use both hands and feet. They are strong and brave. They make it to the top. Tom says, "Ready, set, go!" They let go of the barrel and watch it roll. + +The barrel rolls fast and loud. It bumps and jumps on the grass. It seems to have a mind of its own. It goes where it wants to go. Tom and Sue laugh and clap. They run after the barrel. + +The barrel reaches the bottom of the hill. It does not stop. It keeps rolling towards the pond. Tom and Sue gasp. They do not want the barrel to fall in the water. They shout, "Stop, barrel, stop!" + +But the barrel does not stop. It hits a rock and flies in the air. It lands in the pond with a big splash. Water goes everywhere. Tom and Sue are wet and shocked. They look at each other. They do not know what to do. + +Then they hear a voice from inside the barrel. It says, "Hello, kids, can you help me out?" Tom and Sue are surprised and curious. They go to the pond and see a man in the barrel. The man is smiling and waving. He is wearing a funny hat and a colorful suit. He is a clown. He says, "I was hiding in the barrel for a show. But you gave me a ride I did not expect. You are very clever and playful. Thank you for the adventure." + +Tom and Sue are amazed and happy. They help the clown out of the barrel. The clown is wet and flexible. He can bend and twist his body in funny ways. He makes Tom and Sue laugh. He says, "You are very kind and helpful. Let me give you a reward. How about a balloon animal?" He takes out a pump and some balloons. He blows and twists the balloons into different shapes. He makes a dog, a cat, a monkey, and a giraffe. He gives one to each of them. Tom and Sue are delighted and grateful. They say, "Thank you, clown, you are very nice and talented. We love your balloon animals." + +The clown says, "You are very welcome, kids, you are very sweet and friendly. I hope you enjoy your balloon animals. And I hope you have more fun in the park. But be careful with the barrel. It is very naughty and unpredictable. It might take you somewhere you do not want to go." He winks and laughs. He picks up the barrel and walks away. He says, "Goodbye, kids, see you soon." + +Tom and Sue wave goodbye to the clown. They look at their balloon animals. They look at each other. They smile and hug. They say, "That was the best play ever. We had a lot of fun. We met a clown. We got balloon animals. We are very lucky and happy." + +They hold their balloon animals and run to the slide. They slide down and giggle. They play some more in the park. They do not touch the barrel again. They have a wonderful day. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They have a lot of fun on the slide, the swing and the seesaw. They also make a big sandcastle with a flag and a moat. + +"Look at our castle!" Lily says. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Tom agrees. "But we have to go home soon. It is getting dark." + +They pack their toys in their bags and get ready to leave. But Lily sees something on the ground. It is a rough, dirty bag with holes and stains. + +"Tom, look at this bag!" Lily says. "It is so ugly and sad. Who left it here?" + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe someone who doesn't care about their things. Or maybe someone who has no home." + +Lily feels sorry for the bag. She picks it up and puts it in her bag. + +"Let's take it home," she says. "We can clean it and make it happy." + +Tom nods. He thinks Lily is very kind. They hold hands and walk home with their bags. + +At home, Lily shows the bag to her mom. + +"Mom, can we clean this bag?" she asks. "We found it in the park. It is very rough and dirty." + +Mom looks at the bag. She smiles and hugs Lily. + +"Of course, we can," she says. "You are very sweet, Lily. You have a big heart. Let's go to the bathroom and wash the bag." + +They go to the bathroom and fill the sink with warm water and soap. They scrub the bag gently and rinse it. They see that the bag has a bright color and a nice pattern. + +"Wow, the bag is so beautiful!" Lily says. "It looks like new!" + +Mom agrees. She helps Lily dry the bag with a towel. + +"Can I keep the bag, Mom?" Lily asks. "I want to use it for my books and toys." + +Mom nods. She kisses Lily on the forehead. + +"Sure, you can," she says. "But remember, the bag is not just a thing. It is a friend. You have to take good care of it and love it." + +Lily hugs the bag and smiles. + +"I will, Mom," she says. "I will." +Lily was a small girl who liked to play in the park. One day, she saw a light in the grass. It was a firefly. Lily wanted to meet the firefly, so she ran after it. + +The firefly flew away from Lily, but she did not give up. She followed it to a big tree, where she saw many more lights. They were all fireflies. Lily was amazed. She wanted to say hello to them. + +She reached out her hand to touch a light, but it flew away. She tried again, but the same thing happened. Lily felt sad. She thought the fireflies did not like her. + +Then, she heard a voice. It was a boy who was hiding behind the tree. He said, "Don't be sad. The fireflies are shy. They don't like to be touched. But they like to watch you play. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily looked at the boy. He had a big smile and a firefly on his hat. Lily smiled back. She said, "Yes, I want to play with you. What is your name?" + +The boy said, "My name is Max. And this is Sparky. He is my firefly friend. What is your name?" + +Lily said, "My name is Lily. And I want to meet Sparky. He is a very pretty light." + +Max said, "OK, but you have to be gentle. Sparky likes to sit on my hat. He likes to see the stars. Do you like to see the stars?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I like to see the stars. They are like big lights in the sky. Can we see them together?" + +Max said, "Yes, we can. Come with me. I know a good place to see the stars. And maybe the fireflies will come too. They like to dance in the dark." + +Lily and Max held hands and ran to the hill. There, they saw the stars and the fireflies. They played and laughed and talked. They became good friends. They were happy to meet each other. And the fireflies were happy to watch them. +Anna and Ben were playing with clay in the garden. They made shapes of animals and people with their fingers. Anna made a cat, a dog and a girl. Ben made a snake, a frog and a boy. + +"Look at my clay cat!" Anna said. "She has whiskers and a tail. She is soft and nice." + +"Look at my clay snake!" Ben said. "He has scales and a tongue. He is long and fast." + +Anna did not like snakes. She was afraid of them. She thought they were mean and ugly. She did not want to play with Ben's clay snake. + +"Your clay snake is bad!" Anna said. "He will bite me and make me sick. Go away with your clay snake!" + +Ben was hurt by Anna's words. He liked his clay snake. He thought it was cool and fun. He did not want to go away with his clay snake. + +"My clay snake is not bad!" Ben said. "He will not bite you and make you sick. You are ignorant! You do not know anything about snakes!" + +Anna was angry by Ben's words. She thought he was rude and stupid. She did not want to talk to him anymore. + +"You are ignorant!" Anna said. "You do not know anything about cats! Cats are better than snakes!" + +Anna and Ben started to argue. They shouted and called each other ignorant. They did not listen to each other. They did not try to understand each other. + +Then, Anna had an idea. She wanted to make Ben stop talking. She wanted to make him cry. She reached for his clay snake and poked it hard with her finger. + +"Ow!" Ben yelled. "You poked my clay snake! You broke it! You are mean and nasty!" + +Ben was very sad. He loved his clay snake. He worked hard to make it. He did not want it to be broken. He started to cry. + +Anna felt bad. She did not mean to make Ben cry. She did not mean to break his clay snake. She was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna said. "I did not mean to poke your clay snake. I did not mean to hurt you. I was ignorant. I did not know how much you liked your clay snake." + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They saw the tears in their eyes. They saw the clay in their hands. They saw the shapes they made. They saw that they were both creative and curious. They saw that they were both friends. + +"Can we fix your clay snake?" Anna asked. + +"Can we play with your clay cat?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, we can," Anna and Ben said together. + +They hugged and smiled. They stopped being ignorant. They started being kind. They played with their clay animals and people. They learned from each other. They had fun. +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and build a ship with the furniture. They used the sofa as the deck, the chairs as the masts, and the pillows as the sails. They had a lot of fun sailing the seas and looking for treasure. + +But Mom was not happy. She saw that the furniture was all messy and dirty. She told Anna and Ben to stop playing and replace the furniture where it belonged. She said they could play with their toys instead. + +Anna and Ben did not want to stop. They liked their ship. They said they were almost done with their adventure. They begged Mom to let them play a little longer. + +Mom sighed. She said they could play for five more minutes, but then they had to clean up. She said she had a surprise for them in the kitchen. She said it was something sweet and yummy. + +Anna and Ben were curious. They wondered what the surprise was. They decided to finish their game quickly and then go to the kitchen. They hoped it was cake or cookies or ice cream. + +They played for five more minutes and then they replaced the furniture where it belonged. They fluffed the pillows, straightened the sofa, and pushed the chairs back. They were proud of their work. They ran to the kitchen to see the surprise. + +But when they got to the kitchen, they were shocked. There was no cake or cookies or ice cream. There was only a big, fat, green vegetable on the table. It was broccoli. + +Mom smiled. She said this was the surprise. She said broccoli was good for them and they had to eat it. She said it would make them strong and healthy. + +Anna and Ben were not happy. They did not like broccoli. They said it was yucky and bitter and gross. They said they wanted something sweet and yummy. + +Mom shook her head. She said they had to eat the broccoli first. She said it was a reward for replacing the furniture. She said they could have something sweet and yummy later. + +Anna and Ben were sad. They wished they had not replaced the furniture. They wished they had kept playing. They wished they had a different surprise. They looked at the broccoli and sighed. They knew they had no choice. They had to eat it. +Lily and Sam liked to play near the creek. They liked to look for fish and frogs and stones. One day, they found a big leaf. It was green and yellow and had many lines. + +"Look, Sam, this leaf is so pretty!" Lily said. "Can we print it?" + +"Print it? How?" Sam asked. + +Lily had an idea. She ran to the house and got some paper and paint. She came back and said, "We can put paint on the leaf and then press it on the paper. Then we will have a leaf print!" + +Sam thought that was a good idea. He helped Lily put some blue paint on the leaf. Then they pressed it on the paper. They lifted the leaf and saw the print. It looked like the leaf, but blue. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Sam said. "Let's do more!" + +They did more prints with different colors and leaves. They had fun and made a lot of art. But the paint was heavy and the paper was wet. They could not carry them all. + +"Uh-oh, how can we take them home?" Lily asked. + +Sam had an idea. He ran to the house and got a big box. He came back and said, "We can put them in the box and drag it. Then we will not drop them!" + +Lily thought that was a good idea. She helped Sam put the prints in the box. Then they dragged it to the house. It was hard and slow, but they did it. + +"Look, Mom, look what we made!" Lily and Sam said. They showed their mom the prints. + +Mom smiled and said, "They are beautiful! You are very creative and clever. I'm proud of you!" + +Lily and Sam felt happy. They hugged their mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you!" +Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a spinning top. The top is red and blue and shiny. They take turns to spin the top and watch it go round and round. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. They bring their top with them. They find a nice spot on the grass and start to play. They spin the top and laugh. But then, a big dog comes running. The dog sees the top and thinks it is a ball. He grabs the top with his mouth and runs away. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They cry and call for their mom. Mom sees what happened and runs after the dog. She catches the dog and asks him to give back the top. The dog is sorry. He drops the top and licks mom's hand. Mom picks up the top and brings it back to Sara and Ben. + +But the top is not shiny anymore. It is dirty and wet and has teeth marks. Sara and Ben are still sad. They don't want to play with the top anymore. Mom hugs them and says she can help. She takes them to the bathroom and washes the top with soap and water. She dries the top with a towel and rubs it with a cloth. She restores the top to make it shiny again. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They thank mom and hug her. They look at their top and smile. They spin the top and watch it go round and round. They forget about the dog and have fun. They love their top and their mom. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress and a crown. Lily loved to brush Anna's hair and make her sing. + +One day, Lily's mom said it was time to go to the park. Lily was happy, because she liked to swing and slide and see the ducks. She ran to get her coat and shoes, but she did not forget Anna. She put Anna in her backpack and said, "You are coming with me, Anna. We will have fun at the park." + +Lily's mom drove them to the park. It was a sunny day, and the park was full of children and animals. Lily saw a big dog, a fluffy cat, a red bird and a green frog. She said hello to them, and they said hello back. Lily was amazed by all the different creatures. She took Anna out of her backpack and showed her the dog, the cat, the bird and the frog. Anna smiled and nodded. + +Lily and Anna went to the swing. Lily pushed Anna gently, and Anna laughed. Lily said, "Do you like the swing, Anna?" Anna said, "Yes, I do. It is fun and fast." Lily said, "Me too. I like the swing a lot." They swung together for a long time, until Lily's mom said it was noon. Lily knew that noon meant lunch time. She was hungry, and so was Anna. + +Lily and Anna went to the picnic table, where Lily's mom had prepared some sandwiches and juice. Lily said, "Thank you, mom. I am hungry." Lily's mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I am glad you had fun at the park." Lily said, "I did, mom. It was amazing. Anna liked it too." Lily's mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. Anna is a very nice doll." Lily said, "She is, mom. She is my best friend." Lily's mom said, "I know, Lily. And you are a very good friend to her." Lily hugged Anna and said, "I love you, Anna." Anna said, "I love you, Lily." They ate their sandwiches and juice, and then they went home. Lily and Anna were happy. They had a wonderful day at the park. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Max had a car. They were having fun, but they wanted to make something new. + +"Let's make a rocket!" Max said. "We can use this box and some tape." + +"OK!" Lily agreed. "That sounds fun!" + +They found a big box and some tape in the closet. They cut out a cone and some wings from the box. They taped them to the top and the sides of the box. They drew some windows and flames with crayons. + +"Wow, our rocket is awesome!" Lily said. "Can we go inside?" + +"Sure!" Max said. "But first, we need some snacks for our trip." + +They went to the kitchen and asked their mom for some snacks. Their mom gave them some crackers, cheese, and apple slices. + +"Thank you, mom!" they said. + +"Please be careful with your rocket," their mom said. "And don't make a mess." + +They took their snacks and went back to the living room. They climbed inside their rocket and pretended to blast off. + +"3, 2, 1, go!" Max said. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Lily said. + +They ate their snacks and imagined they were flying to the moon. + +"Mmm, this cheese is delicious!" Lily said. + +"I like the apples, they are crunchy!" Max said. + +They shared their snacks and smiled. They were happy in their rocket. They had a lot of fun. +Lily liked to play with her toys in the bathtub. She had a duck, a frog, a boat and a ball. She made them splash and swim and talk to each other. She pretended they were on a big adventure. + +One day, she saw something unusual in the bathtub. It was a small, shiny, round thing. It looked like a coin, but it was not a coin. It had a hole in the middle and a star on one side. Lily wondered what it was. She picked it up and looked at it. + +"Hello, little girl," a voice said. Lily was surprised. She looked around, but she did not see anyone. "Who said that?" she asked. + +"It was me, the star ring," the voice said. "I am a magic ring. I can grant you one wish. What do you wish for?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She had many things she liked, but she also had some things she wanted. She wanted a new dress, a big cake, a pony, a dollhouse. She could not decide what to wish for. + +She looked at the star ring and asked, "Can I wish for anything?" + +"Yes, anything," the voice said. "But you have to be careful. Some wishes can be good, and some wishes can be bad. You have to think before you wish." + +Lily nodded. She wanted to make a good wish. She thought hard. She looked at her toys in the bathtub. She looked at the star ring. She smiled. She had an idea. + +She said, "I wish for all my toys to come alive and be my friends." + +The star ring glowed. The voice said, "Your wish is granted." + +Lily was happy. She saw her toys move and blink and smile. They said hello to her and thanked her for the wish. They played with her and told her stories. They had a lot of fun. + +Lily decided she made a good wish. She decided she liked the unusual star ring. She decided she loved her bathtub. She decided it was the best day ever. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big statue of a king. The king had a crown and a long robe. He looked very old and serious. + +"Who is he?" Lily asked. + +"He is an ancient king," Ben said. "He lived a long time ago. He was very strong and brave." + +"How do you know?" Lily asked. + +"My dad told me. He knows a lot of things," Ben said. + +Lily and Ben wanted to climb the statue. They thought it would be fun. But the statue was very high and heavy. They could not reach the king's feet. + +"Let's use the seesaw," Ben said. He had an idea. He ran to the seesaw and jumped on one end. He told Lily to sit on the other end. + +"Maybe we can make the seesaw go up and down. Then we can touch the king," Ben said. + +Lily nodded. She sat on the seesaw. Ben pushed with his legs. The seesaw went up and down. Lily and Ben laughed. + +But the king was still too high. They could not touch him. They tried harder and harder. The seesaw went faster and faster. + +Suddenly, the seesaw broke. It was too old and weak. It could not weigh Lily and Ben. They fell to the ground. They were not hurt, but they were surprised. + +"Oops," Ben said. + +"Sorry," Lily said. + +They looked at the king. He did not move. He did not smile. He did not care. + +Lily and Ben decided to play something else. They ran to the slide. They forgot about the ancient king. He was too high and heavy for them. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play outside. Today, they see fog in the air. Fog is like a big cloud that is close to the ground. It makes everything look blurry and soft. + +"Wow, look at the fog!" Ben says. "It is so cool!" + +"Let's play in the fog!" Lily says. "We can pretend we are in a fairy tale!" + +They run to the park. They get their bikes and ride around. They see other kids playing in the fog too. They wave and say hello. They feel happy and playful. + +They stop at the swings. They take turns pushing each other. They go higher and higher. They laugh and scream. They feel the fog on their faces and hair. It is wet and cold. + +"Look, the fog is going away!" Lily says. "The sun is coming out!" + +They see the blue sky and the green grass. They see the flowers and the birds. They see the fog moving away like a big curtain. + +"Bye, fog!" Ben says. "Thank you for the fun!" + +"Bye, fog!" Lily says. "Come back soon!" + +They smile and hug. They get their bikes and ride home. They are still happy and playful. They love the fog. They love each other. They are friends. +Lila was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big sheet that she used to make a tent in her room. She pretended that the sheet was a castle and her dolls were princesses and knights. + +One day, she found a strange bottle in her mom's closet. It had a label that said "Shrink". Lila was curious and opened the bottle. She smelled a sweet scent and felt a tickle in her nose. She sneezed and dropped the bottle. + +"Oh no!" she said. She looked around and saw that everything was huge. The bottle, the sheet, the dolls, the bed, the door. She had shrunk to the size of a mouse. + +She heard her mom calling her name. "Lila, where are you? It's time for lunch!" + +Lila was scared and tried to find a way out. She climbed on the sheet and saw a hole in the corner. She crawled through the hole and saw a bright light. She followed the light and came out under the bed. + +She saw her mom's feet walking towards the door. She ran after her and shouted. "Mom, mom, help me! I'm here! I'm tiny!" + +Her mom heard a faint voice and looked down. She saw Lila waving at her. She was shocked and picked her up. "Lila, what happened to you? How did you shrink?" + +Lila told her mom about the bottle and the sneeze. Her mom hugged her and said. "Don't worry, sweetie. I know how to fix this. I have another bottle that says "Grow". Come on, let's go to the bathroom and make you big again." + +Lila was happy and relieved. She thanked her mom and said. "I'm sorry, mom. I won't touch your things again. I learned my lesson. Shrink is a bad word." + +Her mom smiled and said. "It's okay, Lila. I love you. And you're right. Shrink is a bad word. But you know what's a good word? Sheet. You can still play with your sheet and your dolls. They're waiting for you in your room." + +Lila nodded and said. "Yes, mom. I love you too. And I love my sheet and my dolls. They're my friends. But I'm not shy anymore. I'm brave. I can face anything. Even shrink." +Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy planes. They had many planes of different colors and shapes. They pretended to be pilots and flew their planes around the room. Sometimes they made noises like zoom and vroom. + +One day, they found a big hanger in the closet. It was dull and gray, but it had a hook at the top. Ben had an idea. He said to Mia, "Let's hang our planes on the hanger and make them soar in the air!" + +Mia liked the idea. She said, "Yes, let's do that!" They took their planes and hung them on the hanger. Then they lifted the hanger and swung it around. The planes soared in the air like birds.

But Tom drank his milk too fast and wanted more. He saw that Lily still had some milk in her cup. He tried to grab her cup and said, "Give me your milk!" + +Lily did not want to share her milk. She held her cup tight and said, "No, this is my milk! Go away!" + +Tom and Lily started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the cup of milk and said, "Stop it, both of you! Fighting is not nice. Why are you fighting over the milk?" + +Tom and Lily stopped fighting and looked at Mom. Tom said, "I want more milk. Lily has milk and I don't." + +Mom said, "Tom, you already had your milk. You can have some water if you are thirsty. Lily, you can finish your milk. But you should drink it soon, or it will get sour." + +Lily said, "What is sour?" + +Mom said, "Sour is when milk tastes bad and makes your face funny. Like this." Mom made a funny face and pretended to drink sour milk. Tom and Lily laughed and made funny faces too. + +Mom said, "See, it is more fun to laugh than to fight. Now, why don't you share your cookies and play nicely?" + +Tom and Lily said, "Okay, Mom." They gave each other half of their cookies and said sorry.

Anna says. + +"Thank you, they are my babies." the bird says. + +Suddenly, they hear a crack. One of the eggs is moving. It is hatching. + +"Look, look, one of your babies is coming out!" Tom says. + +The bird is very happy. It sings a song. The children watch as the baby bird breaks the shell and springs out. It is fluffy and yellow.

Some cells were small and had bars and concrete and nothing else. Tim and Sue felt sad for the animals in the small cells. + +They asked their moms if they could paint the small cells. Their moms said yes, but they had to be careful and not touch the animals or the bars. Tim and Sue took their paints and brushes and papers. They painted happy things on the papers.

They do not come." + +The man says, "I see. The fish do not like the net. They like to be free in the water. But you know what? You can still enjoy the fish. You can look at them and learn about them. You can display them in your camera. Do you want to try?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They are curious. They want to try. The man gives them his camera. He shows them how to use it. He says, "You can point the camera at the fish and press this button. Then you can see the fish on the screen. You can display them in different colors and shapes.

He was afraid and ashamed. He knew he had done wrong. + +Lila and Tom were safe. They hugged each other and thanked Tom for saving Lila.

Bob carried them on his back. He was very helpful. + +They thanked the people at the market and said goodbye. They went back home with Mom and Bob. They were happy and excited. They wanted to eat the food that Mom bought. + +Mom said, "Now we can cook something good. What do you want to eat, my dears?" + +Sara said, "I want to eat cheese and bread and apples." + +Tom said, "I want to eat chicken and potatoes and carrots." + +Mom said, "That sounds good. Let's cook them together. And let's give Bob some hay and water. He deserves a treat for his hard work." + +Sara and Tom agreed. They helped Mom cook the food. They gave Bob some hay and water. They ate the food and enjoyed it. They thanked Mom and Bob for the food and the help. They hugged them and said, "We love you, Mom. We love you, Bob. You are the best." +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play outside with their dog, Spot. They run, jump, and throw a ball. Spot chases the ball and barks. They have a lot of fun. + +But when the sun goes down, Mom calls them inside. "Time to bathe, Sara and Tom!" she says. "You are dirty and sweaty. You need to wash and brush your teeth." + +Sara and Tom do not want to bathe. They want to play more. They say, "No, Mom, no! We are not dirty. We are not sweaty. We do not need to wash and brush our teeth." + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "Yes, you are, and yes, you do. Come on, Sara and Tom. It will be quick and easy. I have a surprise for you after you bathe." + +Sara and Tom are curious. They wonder what the surprise is. They follow Mom to the bathroom. Mom fills the tub with warm water and bubbles. She puts a green rubber duck in the water. She says, "Look, Sara and Tom. A green duck for you to play with. Do you like it?" + +Sara and Tom smile. They like the green duck. They say, "Yes, Mom, yes! We like the green duck. Thank you, Mom." They take off their clothes and get into the tub. They splash, giggle, and wash. They play with the green duck and Spot. They have a lot of fun. + +When they are clean and dry, Mom wraps them in soft towels. She says, "Good job, Sara and Tom. You bathed very well. Now it is time for your surprise. Do you know what it is?" + +Sara and Tom shake their heads. They do not know what it is. They say, "No, Mom, no. What is it, Mom?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "It is a bedtime story. A story about a sleepy bear who goes to sleep in a cozy cave. Do you want to hear it?" + +Sara and Tom nod. They want to hear it. They say, "Yes, Mom, yes. We want to hear it, Mom." They put on their pajamas and follow Mom to their bedroom. They snuggle in their beds with their blankets and pillows. Mom sits on a chair and reads the story. They listen, yawn, and close their eyes. They have a lot of fun. + +The end. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big tree with green balls on it. Tom says, "What are those?" + +Mia says, "They are olives. My mom puts them on pizza. Do you like olives?" + +Tom says, "I don't know. I never had olives. Can we pick some?" + +Mia says, "OK, but we have to be careful. The tree is very high and the olives are very small. We need a stick to reach them." + +They look for a stick and find one near the slide. They run to the tree and try to poke the olives with the stick. Some olives fall to the ground. Tom and Mia pick them up and put them in their pockets. They are very busy and happy. + +A man comes to the tree. He is angry. He says, "Hey, you kids! Stop that! Those are my olives! I grow them for my shop. You are stealing them!" + +Tom and Mia are scared. They drop the stick and the olives. They say, "Sorry, mister. We didn't know. We just wanted to try them." + +The man says, "Well, you can't try them. They are not ready. They are bitter and hard. You have to wash them and soak them and add salt and oil. Then they are good. But you have to ask me first. OK?" + +Tom and Mia nod. They say, "OK, mister. We are sorry. We won't do it again." + +The man says, "It's OK. Just don't touch my tree. Go and play somewhere else. And here, take these. They are olives from my shop. They are ready and tasty. You can try them. But don't eat too many. They are strong." + +He gives them a small bag of black olives. Tom and Mia say, "Thank you, mister. You are nice." + +They run away from the tree and go to the bench. They open the bag and taste the olives. They are salty and soft and yummy. They like them. They share them and smile. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set with tracks, cars, and a station. They always hoped to get more train pieces for their birthdays or holidays. + +One day, their mom said they had to clean their room before they could play with the train. Tom and Lily did not like to clean. They had many objects on the floor, like books, clothes, and blocks. They did not know where to put them. They were not organized. + +"Let's just hide them under the bed," Tom said. "Then mom won't see them and we can play with the train." + +"No, that's not a good idea," Lily said. "Mom will find out and be mad. And we won't be able to find our things later. Let's put them in the right places, like the bookshelf, the closet, and the toy box." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He pushed all the objects under the bed and ran to the train set. Lily sighed and started to put the objects in the right places. She hoped Tom would help her soon. + +But Tom did not help Lily. He played with the train by himself. He made the train go fast and loud. He pretended to be the conductor and the passengers. He had fun. + +Then he heard a loud crash. He looked under the bed and saw that the objects had fallen out. They were everywhere. Some of them had broken. He saw his mom coming to the door. He was scared. + +He wished he had listened to Lily. He wished he had been organized. He hoped mom would not be too angry. He learned a lesson. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. Tom has a new bicycle. It is red and shiny. Lily does not have a bicycle. She has a doll. + +One day, Tom rides his bicycle to the park. He sees Lily sitting on a bench with her doll. He wants to show off his bicycle. He rides around Lily and says, "Look at me! Look at my bicycle! It is fast and cool. You don't have a bicycle. You only have a doll. Dolls are boring. Bicycles are fun." + +Lily feels sad and angry. She does not like Tom's words. She thinks Tom is mean. She says, "Stop it, Tom! Stop teasing me! I don't care about your bicycle. I love my doll. She is pretty and soft. You are rude and loud. Go away!" + +Tom does not stop. He is stubborn. He thinks he is better than Lily. He rides closer to Lily and says, "No, you go away! This is my park. This is my bicycle. You can't play here. You can't touch my bicycle. You are silly and weak." + +Lily has had enough. She stands up and grabs Tom's bicycle. She pushes it away from him. She says, "No, you are silly and weak! This is not your park. This is our park. You can't bully me. You can't keep your bicycle. I will take it from you." + +Tom is shocked and scared. He does not expect Lily to do that. He runs after Lily and tries to get his bicycle back. He says, "Hey, give me back my bicycle! That is mine! You are mean and bad!" + +Lily and Tom fight over the bicycle. They pull and push and shout. They do not see the big dog coming. The big dog likes bicycles. He sees Tom's bicycle and thinks it is a toy. He runs to the bicycle and bites it. He makes a loud noise. He breaks the bicycle. + +Lily and Tom stop fighting. They look at the big dog and the broken bicycle. They feel sorry and scared. They say, "Oh no! Oh no! What have we done? What will we do?" + +The big dog runs away with the bicycle. Lily and Tom cry. They hug each other. They say, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was wrong. You are my friend. I don't want to fight with you." + +They go home and tell their parents what happened. Their parents are not happy. They say, "You should not tease each other. You should not fight over things. You should share and care. You should be kind and gentle." + +Lily and Tom learn their lesson. They promise to be good friends. They promise to respect each other. They promise to never tease again. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked the same ones. Sometimes they shared, and sometimes they fought. + +"Give me the car!" Max said. He tried to grab the car from Lily's hand. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She held the car tight and moved away. + +Mom came into the living room. She saw Lily and Max fighting. She was not happy. + +"Stop fighting, you two!" Mom said. "You have to be flexible and take turns. If you can't play nicely, you can't have a cookie." + +Lily and Max loved cookies. They did not want to miss their snack. They looked at each other and decided to be flexible. + +"OK, Mom," Lily said. "I will let Max play with the car for a while. Then he will give it back to me." + +"OK, Mom," Max said. "I will play with the car for a while. Then I will give it back to Lily." + +Mom smiled. She was proud of Lily and Max. She went to the kitchen and got two cookies. She brought them to the living room and gave one to each child. + +"Here you go," Mom said. "You can have a cookie because you were flexible and nice. But you have to remain in the living room and finish your toys. Then you can go outside and play." + +Lily and Max nodded. They thanked Mom and ate their cookies. They were happy and full. They finished their toys and put them away. Then they went outside and played. They were flexible and nice. They had a good day. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play baseball in the park. Tom has a brown baseball hat. Ben has a blue baseball hat. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and white. He has a red collar. He looks friendly. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Tom asks Ben. + +Ben nods. He likes dogs. He walks to the dog. He says, "Hello, dog. What is your name?" + +The dog wags his tail. He licks Ben's hand. He barks. + +Tom follows Ben. He pets the dog too. He says, "You are a nice dog. Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog nods. He likes to play. He sees the baseball hat on Tom's head. He jumps and grabs it with his mouth. He runs away. + +"Hey, that's my hat!" Tom shouts. He runs after the dog. + +Ben runs after Tom. He says, "Come back, dog. Give Tom his hat!" + +The dog thinks it is a game. He runs around the park. He drops the hat. He picks it up again. He barks. + +Tom and Ben chase the dog. They have fun. They laugh. + +The dog stops. He sees a man. The man has a leash. He says, "There you are, Spot. You naughty dog. Where have you been?" + +The man is the dog's owner. He puts the leash on the dog. He says, "I'm sorry, boys. He escaped from the yard. He likes to run and play. He didn't mean to take your hat." + +The dog drops the hat. He looks at Tom. He wags his tail. He says, "Woof!" + +Tom picks up his hat. He says, "It's okay, dog. I'm not mad. You are a good dog. But this is my hat. You can't have it." + +The dog nods. He understands. He licks Tom's face. He says, "Woof!" + +Tom and Ben smile. They say, "Bye, dog. Bye, man. Have a nice day." + +The man and the dog leave. Tom and Ben go back to play baseball. They are happy. They are friends. The end. +Sara liked to read books. She had many books in her room. Some books had pictures, some books had stories, some books had words. Sara wanted to learn new words. She saw a big book on the shelf. It was a dictionary. It had many words and what they meant. + +Sara tried to reach the dictionary, but it was too high. She asked her mom to help her. Her mom said no. She said the dictionary was not for Sara. She said it was for her dad. Her dad was a wealthy man. He worked with words and numbers. He needed the dictionary for his work. + +Sara was sad and angry. She wanted to read the dictionary. She wanted to learn new words. She did not understand why her mom did not allow her. She thought it was not fair. She decided to wait until her dad came home. Maybe he would let her read the dictionary. + +When her dad came home, Sara ran to him. She hugged him and asked him to read the dictionary with her. Her dad smiled and said yes. He said he was proud of Sara for wanting to learn new words. He said he would teach her some words from the dictionary. He took the dictionary from the shelf and carried Sara to the couch. They opened the dictionary and started to read. Sara was happy and curious. She learned many new words with her dad. She thanked him and said she loved him. Her dad said he loved her too. He said the dictionary was for both of them. He said they could read it together anytime. Sara smiled and hugged him. She felt lucky and smart. She liked to read books. She liked the dictionary. +Mia and Ben were playing with their dolls. Mia had a doll with a pink dress and Ben had a doll with a blue shirt. They pretended that their dolls were going to a restaurant. + +"Hello, welcome to the restaurant. What do you want to eat?" Mia asked, holding a paper menu. + +"I want pizza and juice," Ben said, pointing to the picture on the menu. + +"OK, I will order pizza and juice for you. And for you, miss?" Mia asked, looking at her doll. + +"I want salad and water," Mia said, making her doll talk. + +"OK, I will order salad and water for you. Please wait here, your food will be ready soon," Mia said, and went to the kitchen. + +Mia came back with two plates and two cups. She gave Ben his pizza and juice and her doll her salad and water. She was about to sit down and eat when she noticed something. + +"Oh no, my doll has a stitch on her dress!" Mia said, seeing a loose thread on the pink fabric. + +"What is a stitch?" Ben asked, confused. + +"A stitch is when you use a needle and a thread to make a cloth. Sometimes, a stitch can come out and make a hole. Look, my doll has a stitch here," Mia said, showing Ben the thread. + +"Can you fix it?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. I need a needle and a thread. Maybe Mom can help me," Mia said. + +"Let's ask Mom," Ben said. + +They left their plates and cups on the table and ran to find Mom. They hoped that Mom could fix the stitch and that their food would not get cold. They loved playing with their dolls, but they also loved eating. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play together. They have many toys, but they want more. They ask their moms and dads for new toys every day. + +One day, Lily and Max go to the park. They see a boy with a big ball. The ball is red and shiny. Lily and Max want the ball. They run to the boy and say, "Give us your ball! We want to play with it!" + +The boy is scared. He says, "No, this is my ball. I got it for my birthday. You can't have it. Go away!" + +Lily and Max are angry. They try to grab the ball from the boy. They pull and push and shout. The boy cries and holds the ball tight. + +A lady comes to the park. She is the boy's mom. She sees what is happening. She says, "Stop it! You are being very bad and mean. You are spoiled. You have many toys at home. You can't take other people's toys. You should share and be nice." + +Lily and Max feel ashamed. They let go of the ball. They say, "Sorry, we were wrong. We won't do it again." + +The lady says, "That's good. Now, why don't you play with the boy? He is lonely. He will let you use his ball if you ask nicely." + +Lily and Max look at the boy. He smiles and says, "Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with me and my ball?" + +Lily and Max nod and say, "Yes, please. We are Lily and Max. We are sorry for being rude." + +Ben says, "That's okay. I forgive you. Come on, let's play!" + +They all go to the grass. They kick the ball with their feet. They laugh and have fun. They are friends. They learn to share and be nice. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden at night. They liked to look at the stars and the moon. They had a big flashlight and a blanket. + +"Look, Tom, a comet!" Lily said. She pointed at the sky. A bright ball of fire was flying fast. It had a long tail of light. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Tom said. He smiled and clapped his hands. + +But then the comet came closer and closer. It made a loud noise like a big plane. It looked bigger and bigger. + +"Tom, I'm scared!" Lily said. She hugged her brother. "What if it hits us?" + +Tom was scared too. He did not know what to do. He wished their mom and dad were here. + +"Shh, Lily, it's okay. Maybe it will go away. Maybe it's just a toy." Tom said. He tried to sound brave. He turned on the flashlight and shone it at the comet. + +The comet saw the light. It did not like it. It changed its course and flew away from the garden. It went to another place. + +Lily and Tom saw the comet disappear. They felt relieved and happy. + +"Tom, you did it! You made the comet go away!" Lily said. She kissed her brother. "You are so smart and brave!" + +Tom smiled and hugged his sister. "You are too, Lily. You are my best friend. I love you." + +They snuggled under the blanket and watched the stars and the moon. They were not scared anymore. They were glad they had each other. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run on the grass. Sometimes they would search for bugs or flowers or shiny things. + +One day, Ben found a shiny thing on the ground. It was a ring with a big stone that sparkled in the sun. Ben picked it up and put it in his pocket. He wanted to show it to Lily and mom later. + +"Look what I found, Lily!" Ben said, when they were sitting on a bench to have a snack. He took out the ring and showed it to his sister. + +"Wow, that's pretty!" Lily said. She wanted to touch it, but Ben pulled it away. + +"No, it's mine! I found it!" Ben said. He was afraid that Lily would take it or lose it. + +"Ben, don't be mean. Let Lily see it too. It's just a ring, not a toy," mom said. She saw the ring and was surprised. It looked very expensive. She wondered who had lost it and if they were looking for it. + +"Mom, can I keep it? It's so shiny and nice. I like it a lot," Ben said. He hoped that mom would say yes. + +"Ben, I don't think you can keep it. It belongs to someone else. Maybe they are very sad that they lost it. Maybe it was a gift from someone they love. How would you feel if you lost something that was very important to you?" mom said. She wanted Ben to understand that it was not right to keep something that was not his. + +Ben thought for a moment. He remembered how he had lost his favorite teddy bear once and how he had cried and searched for it everywhere. He felt sorry for the person who had lost the ring. He decided to give it back. + +"Mom, you're right. I don't want to make someone sad. Can we find the person who lost the ring and give it back to them?" Ben said. He took the ring out of his pocket and handed it to mom. + +Mom smiled and hugged Ben. She was proud of him for being honest and kind. She said they would go to the park office and ask if anyone had reported a missing ring. Maybe they could find the owner and make them happy. + +Lily smiled too. She was glad that Ben was not mean anymore. She said she was sorry for wanting to touch the ring. She said she loved Ben more than any shiny thing. Ben said he loved Lily too. They hugged and shared their snack. They were happy to play together. +Ben and Lily wanted to play in the backyard. They put on their shoes and coats and ran outside. They saw a big pile of leaves that their dad had raked. They wanted to jump in the leaves and make a mess. + +"Let's carry some leaves to the tree house!" Ben said. He picked up a handful of leaves and ran to the ladder. Lily followed him with her own leaves. They climbed up the ladder and threw the leaves on the floor of the tree house. They laughed and made leaf angels. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a growl. They looked out the window and saw a big dog. The dog was black and had sharp teeth. It was barking and scratching at the ladder. It wanted to get in the tree house. Ben and Lily were scared. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "There is a scary dog in the backyard!" + +Their dad heard them and came outside. He saw the dog and grabbed a stick. He waved the stick at the dog and said, "Go away! Go away! This is not your backyard!" + +The dog was afraid of the stick and the dad. It ran away and jumped over the fence. Ben and Lily were relieved. They hugged their dad and thanked him. + +"Are you okay?" their dad asked. "That was a mean dog. It must have escaped from somewhere." + +"We are okay," Ben said. "But we don't want to play in the backyard anymore. Can we play inside?" + +"Sure," their dad said. "But first, let's clean up the leaves. You made a big mess." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They carried the leaves back to the pile and helped their dad rake them. Then they went inside and played with their toys. They were happy and safe. +One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers and trees and birds. They liked to play and run and laugh. + +They also saw a caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy and had many legs. Lily wanted to touch it, but Tom said, "No, it might bite you!" + +Lily said, "No, it won't. It is a nice caterpillar. Look, it is smiling at me!" She reached out her hand and gently rubbed the caterpillar. It tickled her fingers and made her giggle. + +Tom was curious and wanted to try too. He rubbed the caterpillar with his hand and felt its soft fur. He smiled and said, "You are right, Lily. It is a nice caterpillar. It is not scary at all." + +The caterpillar was happy and said, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. You are very kind and gentle. You made me feel good. You are great friends." + +Lily and Tom were surprised and happy. They said, "You can talk? Wow, you are a great caterpillar!" + +They played with the caterpillar for a while and then said goodbye. They promised to come back and visit him again. The caterpillar waved his legs and said, "Bye, Lily and Tom. See you soon. Have fun!" +Lily and Tom were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked out the window and saw a big hill. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find something fun on the hill." + +"Okay, Tom!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. The hill is steep and rocky." + +They put on their shoes and jackets and ran outside. They followed a path that led to the hill. They saw some flowers, some birds and some bugs. They stopped to look at them, but they were not very interesting. + +They kept climbing the hill. They saw a stream that sparkled in the sun. They heard the water make a splashing sound. They wanted to play in the stream. + +"Look, Lily!" Tom said. "A stream! Let's go and see how cold it is." + +"Okay, Tom!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. The stream is fast and deep." + +They ran to the stream and dipped their toes in the water. It was cold and ticklish. They laughed and splashed each other. They saw some fish, some frogs and some stones. They tried to catch them, but they were too quick. + +They had fun in the stream. They forgot about the hill and the boring day. They were happy and wet. They did not want to leave. + +"Let's stay here, Lily!" Tom said. "The stream is fun and pretty." + +"Okay, Tom!" Lily said. "But we have to go back soon. Mom and Dad will be worried." + +They nodded and smiled. They played in the stream a little longer. Then they dried themselves and put on their shoes and jackets. They ran back to the path and climbed down the hill. They saw the flowers, the birds and the bugs again. They waved at them and said goodbye. + +They reached their home and saw Mom and Dad waiting for them. They hugged them and told them about the stream and the hill. Mom and Dad listened and smiled. They were glad that Lily and Tom had a good time. + +They gave them some cookies and milk. They ate them and felt warm and cozy. They were not bored anymore. They were tired and happy. They thanked Mom and Dad and went to bed. They dreamed of the stream and the hill. They hoped to go there again. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with boats. They had a big toy boat that they could sail in the pond. They also had a small toy boat that they could pull with a string. The small boat had an anchor that could go up and down. + +One day, they decided to have a race with their boats. Tom took the big boat and Sam took the small boat. They went to the pond and put their boats in the water. They said, "Ready, set, go!" and started to sail their boats. + +Tom's boat was faster than Sam's boat, because it had a big sail. Sam's boat was slower, because it had a small sail and an anchor. Tom laughed and said, "I will win the race, because my boat is better than yours. Your boat is too heavy and slow. You should give up, Sam." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He did not like Tom's words. He said, "No, I will not give up. I will try my best. My boat is not too heavy and slow. My boat has an anchor that can help me." + +Tom did not understand. He said, "How can your anchor help you? Your anchor only makes your boat sink. You are silly, Sam." + +Sam smiled and said, "You will see, Tom. You will see." He pulled the string and made his boat go near a big rock. He lowered the anchor and made his boat stop. Tom's boat did not see the rock. It sailed too fast and hit the rock. It broke its sail and fell over. + +Sam lifted his anchor and made his boat go to the finish line. He said, "I win the race, because my anchor helped me. My anchor made my boat stop and avoid the rock. You lose the race, because your boat did not stop and hit the rock. You are careless, Tom." + +Tom felt sad and sorry. He said, "You are right, Sam. You win the race, because you were smart and careful. I lose the race, because I was mean and reckless. I am sorry, Sam. Can you forgive me?" + +Sam felt happy and kind. He said, "Yes, I can forgive you, Tom. You are my brother and I love you. Can we be friends again?" + +Tom said, "Yes, we can be friends again, Sam. You are my brother and I love you too. Can we share our boats and play together?" + +Sam said, "Yes, we can share our boats and play together, Tom. That will be more fun than racing. We can both succeed and be happy." + +They hugged and smiled. They learned to be humble and kind. They played with their boats and had fun. The end. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun until Tom saw Lily's doll and wanted it. + +"Give me your doll!" Tom said to Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said to Tom. + +Tom tried to grab the doll from Lily, but Lily held it tight. Tom got angry and hit Lily on the arm. Lily cried and ran to their mom. + +"Mom, Tom hit me and tried to take my doll!" Lily said. + +Mom was busy on the phone and did not hear Lily. She ignored Lily and kept talking. + +Lily felt sad and hurt. She wanted Mom to hug her and make her feel better. She waited for Mom to finish her phone call, but Mom did not. + +Tom saw that Mom was not looking and had an idea. He sneaked behind Lily and pulled her hair. Lily screamed and turned around. Tom laughed and stuck out his tongue. + +Lily was very mad. She wanted to hit Tom back, but she had a better idea. She opened her mouth and bit Tom's tongue. Tom felt a lot of pain and dropped his car. He cried and ran to Mom. + +"Mom, Lily bit me!" Tom said. + +Mom finally heard Tom and looked at him. She saw blood on his mouth and got scared. She dropped her phone and ran to Tom. + +"Oh no, what happened?" Mom said. + +"Lily bit me, it hurts!" Tom said. + +Mom looked at Lily and saw her doll. She got angry and took the doll from Lily. + +"That's not nice, Lily! You can't bite your brother! You have to share your toys! Go to your room, now!" Mom said. + +Lily felt worse. She did not understand why Mom was mad at her and not at Tom. She did not want to lose her doll and go to her room. She tried to explain, but Mom did not listen. She ignored Lily and took Tom to the bathroom. + +Lily cried and walked to her room. She had no toys, no mom, and no fun. She wished she had a friend who would play with her and not hurt her. She wished Mom would love her and not ignore her. She wished she had a happy ending. But she did not. +Tim and Mia were twins who liked to play in the woods. They saw many animals there, like birds, rabbits, and squirrels. One day, they saw a big deer with brown fur and long horns. The deer was eating grass and leaves. + +"Look, a deer!" Tim said. "Let's go say hello." + +"OK, but be quiet and gentle," Mia said. "We don't want to scare him." + +They walked slowly towards the deer, who did not run away. He looked at them with big, dark eyes. Tim and Mia smiled and reached out their hands. + +"Hello, deer," Tim said. "You are very pretty. Can we pet you?" + +The deer nodded and let them touch his soft fur. He licked their fingers with his tongue. Tim and Mia giggled. + +"You are very nice, deer," Mia said. "Do you want to be our friend?" + +The deer nodded again and made a soft sound. He seemed to like them. + +"Can we give you something?" Tim asked. "We have some bread and cheese in our backpack. Do you want some?" + +The deer nodded and followed them to their backpack. Tim and Mia opened it and took out some food. They broke it into pieces and offered it to the deer. + +"Here, deer, this is for you," Tim said. "We want to provide for you, because you are our friend." + +The deer ate the food and smiled. He looked very happy. Tim and Mia felt happy too. They thought they had found a new friend in the woods. + +But they did not know that the deer had a secret. He was not a real deer, but a bad witch in disguise. She had used her magic to look like a deer, so she could trick children and eat them. She had been waiting for a long time for someone to come near her. She was very hungry and greedy. + +She pretended to be nice and friendly, so Tim and Mia would trust her. She ate their food, but she wanted more. She wanted to eat them too. She waited for the right moment, when they were not looking. Then she changed back into her true form, a tall, ugly woman with black hair and sharp teeth. She grabbed Tim and Mia by their arms and dragged them into her hut. + +"Help! Help!" Tim and Mia screamed. "Let us go! You are not a deer, you are a witch!" + +But no one heard them. The witch locked them in a cage and laughed. + +"Ha ha ha! You foolish children! You thought I was a generous deer, but I am a wicked witch! You gave me food, and now I will give you pain! You will be my dinner tonight!" + +Tim and Mia cried and hugged each other. They wished they had never met the deer. They wished they had never gone into the woods. They wished they had listened to their mother, who had told them to stay away from strangers. But it was too late. The witch had tricked them, and they had no escape. The end. +Sam and Mia liked to play in the pool. They had a game where they would dive under the water and look for toys. They had a lot of toys, like balls, rings, and ducks. They would take turns to dive and find a toy, and then show it to the other. + +One day, they decided to make the game more fun. They said, "Let's see who can find the most toys in one dive. The winner gets a prize." They were both competitive and wanted to win the prize. They did not know what the prize was, but they imagined it was something good. + +They agreed on a signal to start the game. They would count to three, and then dive at the same time. They counted, "One, two, three, dive!" and plunged into the water. They opened their eyes and looked around. They saw many toys, but they also saw something else. It was a big fish, with shiny scales and a long tail. It was swimming towards them, and it looked hungry. + +Sam and Mia were scared. They did not want to play with the fish. They wanted to get out of the water. They looked for a place to hide. They saw a shelter under the pool. It was a small cave, with rocks and plants. They swam to the shelter and hoped the fish would not see them. + +They waited in the shelter for a long time. They held their breath and hugged each other. They heard the fish swim by, and then swim away. They peeked out of the shelter and saw that the pool was clear. They were safe. They swam to the surface and gasped for air. + +They climbed out of the pool and ran to their mom. They told her what happened. She hugged them and said, "I'm so glad you're okay. That was a brave thing to do. You both deserve a prize." She gave them each a popsicle and a kiss. Sam and Mia smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." They decided to share their toys and not play the diving game anymore. They learned that some things are more important than winning. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and watch the big jets fly in the sky. One day, they saw a new jet that was very fast and loud. It made them dizzy to look at it. + +"Wow, look at that jet!" Tim said. "It is so cool!" + +"I want to fly in that jet!" Sam said. "Let's pretend we are pilots!" + +They ran to their bikes and put on their helmets. They made noises like the jet and zoomed around the yard. They had fun, but they did not see the big hole in the ground. + +Tim was in front of Sam. He did not see the hole either. He fell into the hole and hurt his leg. He cried out loud. + +"Tim, are you okay?" Sam asked. He stopped his bike and ran to the hole. He saw Tim lying on the ground. He was scared. + +"Help, help!" Sam shouted. "Tim is in the hole!" + +But no one heard him. The jet was too loud. It flew over their heads and made a big boom. Sam and Tim felt dizzy again. They did not understand what was happening. + +They waited for someone to help them, but no one came. They were alone and hurt. They wished they had not played with the jet. They wished they had stayed inside. They were very sad. The end. +Once there was a 3 year old girl named Sophie. She loved her lotion. Every day after her bath, she would grab her lotion from the shower and give her skin a big wash with it. Sophie loved how the lotion made her skin soft and smooth. + +One day, Sophie was playing in the garden when she stopped to smell a rare flower. She liked the smell of the flower and wanted to bring the scent with her. So, she got her lotion and gave the flower a little wash. Now everywhere Sophie went, she could smell the flower's rare scent. + +That night, Sophie put on her lotion before she went to bed, and she was surrounded in the smell of the rare flower. Whenever she smelled the scent, she remembered her day in the garden and smiled. +Once, there was a boy named Max. He was three years old and loved to play. One day, he saw a very big vase. It was so tall that it almost touched the sky! He wanted to touch it and see how it felt, but he knew that was not allowed. +
