Her mother replied, "People study to learn something new." + +Jane wasn't satisfied with the answer so she took her toy telescope and went outside to find out the answer by herself. Again, she looked through the telescope and a bright spot caught her attention. She called out to her mother from the window. "Mommy, I see something!" + +Jane's mother came outside and looked through the telescope. She noticed that the bright spot was a bad word written on the wall across the street. It was a word she wasn't happy to read. She quickly told Jane, "That's why people study. To learn about reading, writing, and understanding things better." + +Jane nodded in agreement and went back inside. She still thought about the bad word she had seen and knew now that she had to study even harder to understand what she was seeing. From that day on she kept her telescope handy and kept studying to know more. +Tina was walking across the bridge when she saw a small bird in the water. "Oh no!" she said. The bird was stuck.

"How will you save the bird?" asked Tina. + +The man pointed at a rope tied to the bridge. "I can tie this rope around the bird and pull it up," said the man. + +So the man tied the rope around the bird and began to pull. But it was too late. The bird had stopped moving. Tina and the man were very sad. They knew the bird had died. + +The old man wiped a tear from his eye, smiled and said, "Sometimes, even our best efforts are not enough to save an animal." +Tina nodded sadly and the two of them walked away, full of sorrow. +Once upon a time, there was a giant.

Is there something else I can do?" + +The tiger smiled and said, "I'm feeling generous. I will let you go and keep the sack if you can solve this easy riddle. What is the most powerful thing in the forest?"

So, the boy started to paint the jewelry. + +All of a sudden there was a loud noise - an alarm! The little boy had lost track of time and now he was in trouble! When he went to pick up his canvas it was cold and dry. In his hast, he had forgotten to let the painting dry properly and it had cracked and faded. + +The moral of the story is to be patient and responsible when working on something.

He saw something shiny and went to pick it up. It was a computer! He had never seen one before and he asked his Mom, "What is that, Mommy?" + +"That's a computer," she replied. "It's a machine that can help you learn new things." + +Harry was very excited and asked to try it out. His Mom smiled and brought it inside. She showed him how to turn it on and showed him some simple games. + +He soon became an independent thinker. He began to tie together the puzzle pieces, figuring out how the computer worked.

She put her bag down next to the chest and said, "That's a good idea. We can both get a prize".

Grandpa laughed and said, "I know just the thing! You'll have to close your eyes and make a wish that you want to hear a voice. Believe it in your heart, and you will hear a voice." + +Amy was so excited and she asked, "Is it magic?" Grandpa said, "Yes, it's a kind of magic. Believe me, you will hear the voice, if you trust and wish for it." + +Amy closed her eyes, made a wish and opened them again. Suddenly, she heard a beautiful voice singing a colorful song. Amy jumped and opened her eyes to see who was singing the song.

They also knew it was very special and only they had the privilege to hold it and admire it. + +The skeleton became a part of the family, and soon Sam and Mia began to value it even more. They made sure their skeleton stayed safe, even sleeping with it each night. Thanks to their special skeleton, the siblings now had an even closer bond. +Jimmy was very angry. He was playing with his friends, when suddenly, his brother came and started to fight. Jimmy felt very frustrated. He shouted to his brother: "Please stop fighting! Why are you doing this?". + +But the brother didn't stop. He kept fighting, and Jimmy felt even angrier. Jimmy's friends saw this and came close to him. They all made a line in front of Jimmy's brother and said: "We don't want you to fight! Stop now!". + +Jimmy's brother was surprised to see the line, so he decided to stop fighting and leave. Jimmy was so happy to see his friends helping him. He thanked them and said a big "thank you". + +Jimmy's friends smiled and all of them hugged each other. After that, they kept playing and had lots of fun. That was the end of the fight, and everyone was happy. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but they wanted more. One day, they saw a big sign that said "Sell your old toys and get new ones". They thought this was a good idea, so they took some of their toys and went to the store. + +At the store, they saw many new and shiny toys. They wanted them all, but they did not have enough money. They asked the man at the store how much he would give them for their old toys. The man looked at their toys and said, "Not much. These toys are old and broken. I can only give you a little money for them." + +Tim and Sam were sad and angry. They did not want to give up their old toys for so little money. They thought the man was mean and greedy. They decided to take their toys back and leave the store. But as they were leaving, they saw another boy who had no toys. He looked at their toys with big eyes and said, "Wow, these toys are so cool. Can I play with them?" + +Tim and Sam looked at each other. They felt sorry for the boy who had no toys. They remembered how much fun they had with their old toys, and how they did not need new ones to be happy. They decided to share their toys with the boy and make a new friend. They said, "Sure, you can play with them. We have enough toys for everyone." + +The boy was very happy and thanked them. He said, "You are very kind and generous. I have no toys because there is a war in my country and we had to run away. I miss my home and my family, but you make me feel better." + +Tim and Sam felt ashamed and grateful. They realized how lucky they were to have a home and a family and many toys. They learned that selling their old toys for new ones was not a good idea, and that sharing their toys with others was more rewarding. They also learned that war was a bad thing that made people sad and scared, and that peace was a good thing that made people happy and safe. They hugged the boy and said, "We are sorry for what you have been through. We are glad to be your friends. You can play with our toys anytime you want." + +The man at the store watched them and smiled. He said to himself, "These boys have learned a valuable lesson today. They have learned that money and things are not as important as kindness and friendship. They have learned that war is sour and peace is sweet." He hoped that more people would learn the same lesson and make the world a better place. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run on the grass. But they did not like the elevator that took them to their apartment. It was filthy and smelled bad. + +One day, when they were going home, the elevator stopped between two floors. They heard a loud noise and the lights went out. Tom and Lily were scared. They hugged their mom and cried. + +"Mom, what is happening?" Tom asked. + +"Don't worry, my loves. The elevator is broken, but someone will come and help us soon. We just have to be brave and wait," mom said. + +She took out a flashlight from her purse and turned it on. She also took out some paper and crayons. She gave them to Tom and Lily. + +"Look, we can make some fun things with these. Do you know how to fold paper?" she asked. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They liked to fold paper and make shapes. + +"Let's see who can make the best paper airplane. Then we can fly them in the elevator and pretend we are pilots," mom said. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They forgot about their fear and started to fold paper. They made different kinds of airplanes and decorated them with crayons. They threw them in the air and made zooming sounds. + +They had so much fun that they did not notice when the elevator started to move again. It reached their floor and the doors opened. They saw a man in a uniform waiting for them. + +"Hello, I'm sorry for the trouble. The elevator had a problem with the wires, but it's fixed now. Are you all right?" he asked. + +"Yes, we are fine. Thank you for helping us," mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran out of the elevator and hugged the man. They gave him their paper airplanes as a gift. + +"Thank you for these. They are very nice. You are very good at folding paper," he said. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They were happy to be out of the elevator. They learned that folding paper can make a bad situation better. +Lily and Tom are playing with clay. They like to make different shapes and animals with the clay. They have red, blue, yellow and green clay. + +Lily makes a long snake with the red clay. She rolls the clay on the table until it is very thin and long. She gives the snake a face and a tail. She is proud of her snake. + +Tom makes a ball with the blue clay. He squishes the clay in his hands until it is round and smooth. He likes the texture of the clay. It feels soft and wet. + +"Look at my snake!" Lily says to Tom. "It is very long and fine. Do you like it?" + +"Yes, it is nice," Tom says. "But look at my ball! It is very round and big. Do you like it?" + +"Yes, it is nice too," Lily says. "But I think my snake is better. It can move and hiss." + +Tom does not like that. He thinks his ball is better. It can bounce and roll. + +He grabs Lily's snake and tries to pull it. Lily does not let go. They both pull the snake very hard. + +Snap! The snake breaks in two. Lily and Tom are both shocked. They look at the broken snake. They feel sad and angry. + +"Hey, you broke my snake!" Lily cries. "That was not nice!" + +"Sorry, I did not mean to," Tom says. "But you should not say your snake is better than my ball. That was not nice either." + +They both sit on the floor and stare at the broken snake. They do not talk to each other. They do not play with the clay anymore. They are not happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box under a tree. They open the box and see many toys inside. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Tom says. "We can play with them and have fun!" + +"Yes, let's play!" Mia says. "But we have to keep it a secret. We don't want anyone else to take them." + +They agree to keep the box a secret. They take out some toys and start to play. They have a car, a doll, a ball, and a teddy bear. They pretend to drive, to dress up, to kick, and to hug. + +But then, they hear a loud voice. It is the park keeper. He is angry. He sees the box and the toys. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my toys?" he shouts. "These are not yours! These are mine! I left them here for a while. Give them back to me right now!" + +Tom and Mia are scared. They drop the toys and run away. They hide behind a bench. They are sad. They liked the toys. They wanted to play with them more. + +The park keeper takes the box and the toys. He puts them in his truck. He drives away. + +Tom and Mia come out of their hiding place. They look at each other. They are still sad. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Mia says. "I wish we could keep the toys. They were so nice." + +"I'm sorry, too, Mia," Tom says. "But we can still be friends. And we can still play in the park. We can find other things to play with." + +They hug each other. They rub their eyes. They smile a little. + +They walk away. They hold hands. They are still friends. They have a secret. But they are not so sad anymore. +One day, a boy named Tom and a girl named Lily wandered away from their home. They saw a big temple with many stairs and windows. They wanted to see what was inside, so they climbed the stairs and opened a door. + +Inside the temple, they saw many statues and paintings of people and animals. They also saw a shiny bowl with some coins and jewels. Tom said, "Look, Lily, this is treasure! Let's take some and buy candy and toys!" + +Lily said, "No, Tom, this is not ours. This is for the temple people. They will be angry if we take it. Let's go back home." + +But Tom did not listen. He grabbed a handful of coins and jewels and put them in his pocket. He said, "Don't be silly, Lily. The temple people will not know. Come on, let's go." + +As they turned to leave, they heard a loud roar. They saw a fierce lion coming out of a dark corner. The lion had a big mane and sharp teeth. It looked hungry and angry. It saw Tom and Lily and ran towards them. + +Tom and Lily were very scared. They dropped the coins and jewels and ran for the door. They screamed, "Help, help, a lion!" + +The temple people heard their screams and came to see what was wrong. They saw the lion chasing Tom and Lily. They quickly grabbed some sticks and stones and threw them at the lion. The lion was hurt and ran away. + +The temple people scolded Tom and Lily for taking the treasure and disturbing the lion. They said, "You are very naughty and foolish. This is a sacred place. You should not wander here and steal. The lion is our guardian. He protects the temple from bad people. You are lucky he did not catch you." + +Tom and Lily felt very sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, we are sorry. We did not know. We will not do it again. Please forgive us." + +The temple people forgave them and gave them some water and bread. They said, "Now go back home and do not wander again. And be careful of lions and other fierce animals." + +Tom and Lily thanked them and went back home. They learned their lesson and never wandered again. They also never took things that were not theirs. They were happy and safe. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pond with water and fish. They wanted to catch some fish, so they ran to the pond with a net and a bucket. + +"Look, Sam, there are so many fish!" Tim said, pointing to the water. + +"Let's catch them, Tim!" Sam said, holding the net. + +They threw the net into the water and tried to pull it back. But the net was too heavy and they could not lift it. + +"Help, Tim, help!" Sam cried, as the net dragged him into the water. + +Tim tried to help Sam, but he was too small and weak. He could not pull Sam out of the water. He saw Sam's head go under the water and he did not see him again. + +Tim was scared and sad. He did not know what to do. He ran to the house and told his mom what happened. + +"Mom, mom, Sam is gone!" Tim said, crying. + +"Where is Sam, Tim? What do you mean, gone?" Mom asked, worried. + +Tim told Mom about the pond and the net and the fish. Mom was shocked and angry. She grabbed Tim's hand and ran to the pond. + +But it was too late. Sam was not in the water anymore. He was on the ground, wet and still. He did not breathe or move. + +Mom screamed and hugged Sam. She tried to wake him up, but he did not wake up. He was gone. + +Tim looked at Sam and Mom. He did not understand what happened. He did not understand why Sam did not wake up. He did not understand why Mom was screaming. + +He felt cold and alone. He did not know what to say. He just shrugged. +Lily liked to play with her fireman toy. She pretended to put out fires and save people. She wanted to be a fireman when she grew up. She asked her dad, who was a fireman, to teach her how to do it. + +"Okay, Lily, I will teach you some things, but you have to be careful and listen to me," her dad said. He took her to the backyard, where he had a hose and some cones. He showed her how to hold the hose and spray the water. He told her to aim at the cones and knock them down. Lily tried and had fun. She knocked down all the cones. + +"Good job, Lily, you are a fast learner," her dad said. He hugged her and smiled. "But there is more to being a fireman than spraying water. You also have to help people who are hurt or scared. You have to be brave and kind." + +Lily nodded. She wanted to help people. She asked her dad, "How do you help people who are hurt or scared?" + +Her dad thought for a moment. He said, "Well, sometimes you have to give them a band-aid or a hug. Sometimes you have to talk to them and make them feel better. Sometimes you have to take them to a safe place. Do you want to try?" + +Lily said yes. Her dad got a teddy bear and pretended it was a person who was hurt by a fire. He gave it to Lily and said, "This teddy bear is sad and has a boo-boo. What can you do to help him?" + +Lily looked at the teddy bear. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Don't be sad, teddy bear. I am here to help you. I will give you a band-aid and a hug. You are brave and strong. You will be okay." She put a band-aid on the teddy bear's paw and hugged him. She smiled at him and said, "See, you are better now." + +Her dad watched her and felt proud. He said, "You are a great fireman, Lily. You are brave and kind. You make people feel better. I love you." + +Lily hugged her dad and said, "I love you too, dad. Thank you for teaching me how to be a fireman. You are the best fireman ever." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big rock near the slide. Lily wanted to sit on the rock and pretend it was a throne. Ben wanted to throw the rock and see how far it would go. + +"Let me sit on the rock, Ben. It is my turn," Lily said. + +"No, I want to throw the rock, Lily. It is more fun," Ben said. + +They both pulled the rock and tried to take it from each other. They did not share or listen. They were angry and rude. + +Suddenly, the rock slipped from their hands and rolled down the hill. It hit a boy who was riding his bike. The boy fell and hurt his knee. He cried and his mom came to help him. + +Lily and Ben were scared and confused. They did not know what to do. They ran away and hid behind a tree. + +The boy's mom saw the rock and looked around. She saw Lily and Ben hiding. She was angry and sad. She walked to them and said: + +"Why did you throw the rock at my son? He is hurt and scared. You are naughty and mean. You should say sorry and help him. You should not play with rocks. They are not toys. They can hurt people." + +Lily and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They wanted to say sorry and help the boy, but they were too afraid. They stayed behind the tree and cried. + +The moral of the story is: You should share and listen to your friends. You should not play with things that can hurt others. You should be kind and responsible. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play at the park. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. One day, they brought their juice boxes to the park to drink when they were thirsty. + +"Can I have some of your juice?" Sam asked Lily. He had finished his juice and wanted more. + +"Sorry, Sam, this is my juice. You should have brought more," Lily said. She did not want to share her juice with Sam. + +Sam felt sad and angry. He thought Lily was not a good friend. He decided to play by himself and not talk to Lily. + +Lily drank her juice and felt happy. She thought she was smart and did not need Sam. She decided to play by herself and not talk to Sam. + +But soon, they both felt lonely and bored. They missed each other and wanted to play together. They realized that playing by themselves was difficult and not fun. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry. They walked towards each other and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I should have brought more juice. Can we be friends again?" Sam said. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I should have shared my juice with you. Can we be friends again?" Lily said. + +They hugged and smiled. They decided to share their juice and play together. They realized that sharing and playing together was easy and fun. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Playing together is better than playing alone. +Tom was sick. He had a hot head and a sore throat. He did not want to play or eat. He only wanted to lie in his bed and sleep. + +Mom came to see him. She had a thermometer in her hand. She put it in Tom's mouth and waited. She looked at the number on the thermometer. It was high. She said, "You have a fever, Tom. You need to drink some water and take some medicine." + +She gave Tom a glass of water and a spoon of medicine. They tasted bad, but Tom swallowed them. He hoped they would make him feel better. He asked Mom, "Can I have a story, please?" + +Mom smiled and nodded. She picked up a book from the shelf. It was Tom's favorite book. It was about a brown bear who lived in the forest. Mom read the book to Tom. She made funny voices for the bear and his friends. Tom listened and smiled. He liked the book. He liked Mom. + +Soon, Tom felt sleepy. He closed his eyes and cuddled with his teddy bear. Mom kissed him on the forehead and said, "Good night, Tom. I love you. I hope you get well soon." She turned off the light and left the room. Tom fell asleep and dreamed of the brown bear and the forest. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big tree with many leaves. She thought Ben might be hiding behind the tree. She ran to the tree and shouted, "I found you, Ben!" + +But there was no Ben behind the tree. There was only a small cat with black fur and green eyes. The cat was scared of Lily and started to tremble. It made a loud meow and ran away. Lily felt sorry for the cat and said, "I'm sorry, cat. I didn't mean to scare you. I was looking for Ben." + +Lily heard a giggle from behind a bush. She turned and saw Ben peeking out. He had a big smile on his face. He said, "You didn't find me, Lily. I was hiding behind the bush. I win!" + +Lily felt a little sad. She wanted to win too. She said, "No fair, Ben. You tricked me. You made me think you were behind the tree." + +Ben said, "That's the fun of hide and seek, Lily. You have to be clever and find a good spot. I had a clear view of you from the bush. You didn't see me at all." + +Lily said, "Well, next time I will be the hider and you will be the seeker. And I will find a better spot than you. Then I will have the victory." + +Ben said, "OK, Lily. Let's play again. But this time, don't scare the cat. He's very shy." + +Lily said, "OK, Ben. I won't scare the cat. I like the cat. He's very cute." + +They both laughed and ran to find a new spot. They had fun playing hide and seek in the park. And the cat watched them from a safe distance. He was glad they were not mean to him. He liked them too. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They were having a lot of fun, but they were also getting very hungry and thirsty. + +"Mom, can we have a snack?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, sweetie. I have some lollipops and water for you. Come and sit on the bench with me," mom said. + +Sara and Ben ran to the bench and sat next to mom. Mom gave them each a lollipop and a bottle of water. They thanked mom and licked their lollipops. They were very yummy and colorful. + +"Mom, what flavor is your lollipop?" Ben asked. + +"Mine is lemon. It is sour and sweet. What about yours?" mom asked. + +"Mine is cherry. It is red and juicy. And Sara's is grape. It is purple and fruity," Ben said. + +They all smiled and enjoyed their lollipops. They felt happy and refreshed. + +"Mom, you are the best. You always serve us good snacks," Sara said. + +"Thank you, honey. I love you and Ben very much. You are my best helpers. You always listen and share and help me with chores," mom said. + +They hugged mom and finished their lollipops. They drank some water and threw away the wrappers and bottles in the trash can. + +"Mom, can we play some more?" Ben asked. + +"Okay, but only for a little while. Then we have to go home and take a nap. You look very sleepy," mom said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They were a little sleepy, but they still wanted to play. They ran to the playground and played some more. They had a great day at the park with mom and their lollipops. +Tim and Lily were restless. They wanted to play in the pool, but Mom said they had to sort their toys first. They had many toys in their room, and they were all mixed up. + +"Sorting is boring," Tim said. "Let's just dump them in the box and go to the pool." + +"No, Mom will be mad," Lily said. "We have to put the cars with the cars, and the dolls with the dolls, and the blocks with the blocks." + +Tim did not listen. He grabbed a handful of toys and threw them in the box. He did not care if they were cars or dolls or blocks. He just wanted to go to the pool. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go," he said. He ran out of the room and to the pool. + +Lily followed him, but she was worried. She knew Mom would be mad if she saw the mess in their room. She hoped Mom would not come soon. + +Tim and Lily jumped in the pool. They splashed and laughed and had fun. They forgot about their toys and their Mom. + +But Mom did come soon. She saw the mess in their room. She saw the toys in the box. She saw the cars and the dolls and the blocks all mixed up. She was very mad. + +She went to the pool. She called Tim and Lily. They came out of the water. They saw Mom's face. They knew they were in trouble. + +"Tim and Lily, you did not sort your toys," Mom said. "You made a big mess. You did not listen to me. You are very naughty. You cannot play in the pool anymore. You have to go to your room and sort your toys. And no more pool for a week." + +Tim and Lily cried. They did not want to go to their room. They did not want to sort their toys. They did not want to lose the pool. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had sorted their toys. But it was too late. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big cup of coffee on the table. It smelled good and looked hot. + +"Can we try some?" Lily asked Tom. + +"No, it is for mom. She needs it to wake up. It is not for kids." Tom said. + +But Lily was curious. She wanted to know how it tasted. She reached for the cup. + +"Stop!" Tom shouted. "You will burn yourself!" + +He tried to remove the cup from her hand. But it was too late. The coffee spilled on the floor and on Lily's dress. She cried out loud. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the kids. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +"Lily wanted to try your coffee. I tried to stop her. But it spilled." Tom explained. + +Mom was not happy. She was angry and worried. + +"Lily, you should never touch hot things. They can hurt you. And coffee is not for kids. It is for grown-ups. You could get sick." she said. + +She took Lily to the bathroom and cleaned her dress. She checked her skin for burns. She gave her a hug and a kiss. + +"Are you okay, sweetie?" she asked. + +Lily nodded. She was sorry and scared. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I won't touch your coffee again. It is too hot and bitter." she said. + +Mom smiled. She was glad Lily was not hurt. + +"It's okay, honey. I forgive you. But you have to be careful and listen to Tom. He is your big brother. He knows more things than you. He is mighty and smart." she said. + +Lily looked at Tom. He was still in the kitchen. He was cleaning the floor with a towel. He looked sad and tired. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are mighty and smart. And you are a good brother." she said. + +Tom smiled. He was happy and proud. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are cute and brave. And you are a good sister." he said. + +Mom hugged them both. She was proud and happy. + +"You are both good kids. And I love you very much. Now, let's go and have some breakfast. And I will make a new cup of coffee. For me." she said. +Lily and Tom are young friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big hill with a ramp. They want to try their cars and trucks on the hill. They think it will be fun to see how fast they can go. + +Lily picks a red car and Tom picks a blue truck. They take turns to put their car or truck on the ramp and push it down the hill. They watch their car or truck zoom down the hill with speed. They laugh and clap. + +"Wow, your car is so fast!" Tom says to Lily. + +"Thank you, your truck is very big!" Lily says to Tom. + +They try different cars and trucks. They have a lot of fun. + +Then, they see a yellow car that they both like. It is shiny and has a spoiler. They both want to play with it. + +"Can I have the yellow car?" Lily asks. + +"No, I want the yellow car!" Tom says. + +They both reach for the yellow car. They pull and tug. They start to argue. + +"Stop, stop!" their moms say. "You need to share. Sharing is nice. You can both play with the yellow car. You can take turns." + +Lily and Tom look at each other. They think for a moment. They remember that they are friends. They don't want to fight. + +"Okay, let's share," Lily says. + +"Okay, let's share," Tom says. + +They smile and hug. They decide to play with the yellow car together. They put it on the ramp and push it down the hill. They watch it fly with speed. They cheer and clap. + +They are happy. They are good at sharing. They are young friends. +Sam and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the garden and look at the plants. One day, they saw a big plant with many colors. It was in a pot on the porch of the old house next door. + +"Wow, look at that plant!" Sam said. "It is so pretty and big!" + +"I want to touch it," Mia said. "Can we borrow it for a little while?" + +Sam thought for a moment. He knew that the old house belonged to Mr. Lee, who was very old and kind. He often gave them cookies and told them stories. Maybe he would not mind if they borrowed his plant. + +"Okay, let's ask him first," Sam said. "Maybe he will let us borrow it." + +They knocked on the door of the old house. Mr. Lee opened it and smiled. + +"Hello, Sam and Mia," he said. "What can I do for you?" + +"Hello, Mr. Lee," Sam said. "We like your plant very much. It is so pretty and big. Can we borrow it for a little while? We will be careful and bring it back soon." + +Mr. Lee looked at the plant and nodded. + +"Sure, you can borrow it for a little while," he said. "But you have to be very careful. That plant is very old and special. It is an ancient plant. It came from a faraway land where my ancestors lived. It has magic powers. It can make you happy and wise if you talk to it and listen to it." + +Sam and Mia were amazed. They thanked Mr. Lee and took the plant to their garden. They put it on a sunny spot and admired it. They talked to it and listened to it. They felt happy and wise. They learned many things from the ancient plant. They had a lot of fun. + +After a while, they remembered that they had to return the plant to Mr. Lee. They carried it back to the old house and knocked on the door. Mr. Lee opened it and smiled. + +"Did you enjoy the plant?" he asked. + +"Yes, we did," Sam and Mia said. "Thank you for letting us borrow it. It is a wonderful plant. It made us happy and wise. It told us many things." + +Mr. Lee was pleased. He hugged them and gave them some cookies. + +"You are very welcome," he said. "I am glad you liked the plant. It likes you too. You can borrow it again anytime. But remember, it is an ancient plant. It has magic powers. It can make you happy and wise if you talk to it and listen to it." +Lily and Sam were very happy. They were going on a tour with Mom and Dad. They would see many animals and plants. They liked animals and plants. + +They got in the car and drove to the park. Mom gave them each a bag of snacks. Lily had crackers and cheese. Sam had pretzels and hummus. They ate some snacks and looked out the window. + +"Look, a monkey!" Sam said, pointing to a tree. The monkey was hanging from a branch. It had a long tail and a funny face. Lily and Sam laughed. They wanted to see more monkeys. + +They got to the park and followed the guide. The guide showed them many animals and plants. They saw lions and zebras and giraffes. They saw flowers and trees and cacti. They learned new words and facts. + +"Can we see more monkeys?" Lily asked the guide. + +"Sure, we can go to the monkey house. But be careful, some monkeys are naughty. They might try to take your snacks," the guide said. + +Lily and Sam nodded. They held their bags of snacks tightly. They did not want to lose them. + +They went to the monkey house. There were many monkeys of different colors and sizes. Some were hanging from ropes and swings. Some were playing and grooming. Some were eating fruits and nuts. + +Lily and Sam watched the monkeys with wonder. They smiled and waved at them. Some monkeys smiled and waved back. + +But one monkey was sneaky. It saw Sam's bag of snacks. It wanted to try them. It climbed down from a swing and crept closer to Sam. It reached out its hand and grabbed the bag. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Sam shouted. He tried to pull the bag back. But the monkey was strong. It pulled harder and ran away. + +Sam chased the monkey. Lily and Mom and Dad and the guide followed. They ran through the monkey house. They dodged other monkeys and visitors. They shouted and clapped. + +The monkey ran to a corner. It opened the bag and took out a pretzel. It put it in its mouth. It bit down. + +But the pretzel was spicy. It had salt and pepper and chili. The monkey did not like spicy food. It made its mouth burn. It spat out the pretzel. It made a loud noise. It threw the bag away. + +Sam saw the bag. He ran to it and picked it up. He checked his snacks. They were still there. He was happy. + +The monkey saw Sam. It felt sorry. It had been naughty. It did not mean to hurt Sam. It wanted to say sorry. It made a soft noise. It reached out its hand. + +Sam saw the monkey. He felt sorry too. He had been angry. He did not mean to scare the monkey. He wanted to say sorry. He made a soft noise. He reached out his hand. + +They touched hands. They smiled. They were friends. + +Lily and Mom and Dad and the guide saw them. They smiled too. They were proud. + +They finished the tour. They had a lot of fun. They learned a lot. They made a new friend. + +They got in the car and drove home. They ate their snacks. They were not spicy. They were yummy. + +They thanked Mom and Dad for the tour. They hugged them. They loved them. + +They went to bed. They dreamed of monkeys. They were happy. +Sam and Lily were twins who shared a room. They liked to play with their toys, but sometimes they fought over them. One day, Sam wanted to play with Lily's doll, but Lily said no. She said it was her doll and Sam had to play with his own toys. + +Sam was angry and tried to grab the doll from Lily. Lily held on tight and shouted, "Stop it, Sam! You are being mean!" Sam pulled harder and Lily cried. Their mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw Sam and Lily fighting over the doll and was not happy. + +She raised her voice and said, "Sam and Lily, what are you doing? You are hurting each other and making a mess of your room. You need to share your toys and be nice to each other. How would you feel if someone took your toy away from you?" + +Sam and Lily stopped fighting and looked at their mom. They felt uncomfortable and sorry. They realized they had been selfish and rude. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We don't want to hurt each other or make you angry. We will share our toys and be nice to each other." + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's good, Sam and Lily. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Sharing is caring, and being nice is better than being mean. Now, why don't you hug each other and clean up your room?" + +Sam and Lily hugged each other and said, "We love you, mom. We love you, too, Sam. We love you, too, Lily." They cleaned up their room and played with their toys together. They were happy and had fun. +Lily liked to follow the clown. The clown had a big red nose, funny clothes and a big balloon. The clown made Lily laugh with his jokes and tricks. He gave Lily a sticker with a smiley face. + +One day, the clown went to the park. Lily followed him fast. She wanted to see what he would do next. But the park was big and crowded. Lily lost sight of the clown. She felt scared and sad. She did not know where to go. + +She heard a voice behind her. "Hello, little girl. Are you looking for the clown?" It was a man with a hat and a coat. He did not look nice. He looked mean. He grabbed Lily's hand and tried to pull her away. + +"Let me go! Let me go!" Lily cried. She tried to get free. She wished the clown would come back. + +She heard a loud honk. It was the clown. He had seen the man and Lily. He ran to them fast. He hit the man with his balloon. The man let go of Lily and ran away. The clown hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'm here. You're safe. You're brave." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, clown. You're my hero. You're funny and kind." + +The clown smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're my friend. You're smart and sweet." + +They walked back to the park together. They had fun and played. Lily followed the clown. The clown followed Lily. They were happy. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the park with Lila's mom. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. + +"Look, Tom, ducks!" Lila says. She runs to the pond and throws some bread to the ducks. The ducks swim and eat the bread. They quack and flap their wings. + +"Look, Lila, fish!" Tom says. He points to the water. He sees some shiny fish with scales and fins. They swim and splash in the water. They open and close their mouths. + +Lila and Tom want to feed the fish. They ask Lila's mom for some food. Lila's mom gives them some tuna from a can. Tuna is a kind of fish that people eat. + +Lila and Tom break the tuna into small pieces. They throw the pieces to the fish. The fish come to the surface and eat the tuna. They wiggle and dart in the water. + +One fish is bigger and brighter than the others. It has a long tail and a stripe on its side. It eats more tuna than the others. It jumps out of the water and makes a splash. + +"Wow, what a big fish!" Lila says. "It looks like a rainbow!" + +"Wow, what a brave fish!" Tom says. "It can fly!" + +The big fish jumps out of the water again. It sees Lila and Tom. It wants to say thank you. It bends its body and makes a bow. Lila and Tom clap and laugh. + +"Did you see that, mom?" Lila says. "The fish bowed to us!" + +"Did you hear that, mom?" Tom says. "The fish said hello to us!" + +Lila's mom smiles and nods. She takes a picture of the fish, Lila and Tom. She thinks they are very lucky to see such a special fish. + +The end. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play and have fun. But they do not like to share. Every morning, they fight for the same cereal. They are impatient and want to eat first. + +One day, Mom tells them to hurry up. She has a surprise for them. Lily and Max rush to the kitchen. They see a big box of cereal on the table. It has a picture of a rainbow and a unicorn. They both want it. + +"Me first!" Lily shouts. She grabs the box and runs to her seat. + +"No, me first!" Max yells. He chases Lily and tries to take the box from her. + +They pull and tug and push. The box rips open. The cereal spills everywhere. Mom is angry. She scolds Lily and Max. + +"Look what you did! You wasted the cereal and made a mess. You are not getting any surprise now. You need to learn to share and be patient." + +Lily and Max feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They help to clean up the mess. They promise to share and be patient next time. + +Mom smiles. She hugs them and says, "That's good. I'm proud of you. Now, here is your surprise. I have two bowls of yogurt and fruit for you. They are healthy and yummy. And they have a sticker of a rainbow and a unicorn on them. You can each have one." + +Lily and Max are happy. They thank Mom and enjoy their breakfast. They learn that sharing and being patient are better than fighting and being impatient. +Tom likes to read books. He reads every day. He reads books about cars, animals, and space. He has many books in his room. + +One day, Tom wants to read a new book. He goes to the library with his mom. He looks for a book that he likes. He sees a book with a big belt on the cover. The belt has many colors and shapes. Tom thinks the belt is pretty. + +He takes the book and shows it to his mom. He says, "Mom, can I read this book? It has a belt on it." + +His mom looks at the book. She says, "This book is not easy, Tom. It has many hard words. You are not ready to read this book yet." + +Tom feels sad. He says, "But I want to read the book. I like the belt. Please, mom." + +His mom smiles. She says, "I know you like the belt, Tom. But this book is for older kids. How about we find another book that is easy for you? Then you can read it and have fun." + +Tom nods. He says, "OK, mom. Let's find another book." + +They put the book back on the shelf. They look for another book that is easy for Tom. They find a book about a dog that wears a belt. Tom likes the book. He says, "This book is good, mom. It has a dog and a belt. Can I read this book?" + +His mom says, "Yes, you can, Tom. This book is easy for you. You can read it and learn new words." + +Tom is happy. He says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." + +They check out the book and go home. Tom reads the book with his mom. He enjoys the book. He learns new words. He likes the dog and the belt. He thinks reading is fun. +Ben and Mia like to play games. They have many games, like cards, puzzles, and blocks. Sometimes they play together, and sometimes they play alone. But they always have fun. + +One day, they decide to play a race game. They have two cars, one red and one blue. Ben picks the red car, and Mia picks the blue car. They put the cars on the floor, and say "Ready, set, go!" They push the cars with their hands, and make zooming noises. + +The cars go very fast, and soon they reach the end of the room. Ben's car is a little bit ahead of Mia's car. He thinks he will win the race. He says "I'm the best, I'm the best!" But then, he loses his car. His car rolls under the sofa, and he cannot see it. He says "Oh no, where is my car?" + +Mia's car keeps going, and crosses the finish line. She sees that Ben's car is gone. She says "I win, I win!" She is very happy. She has the victory. She says "My car is cool, it is faster than your car!" + +Ben is sad. He wants his car back. He looks under the sofa, but he cannot reach it. He says "Help me, help me!" Mia hears him, and stops smiling. She says "Don't be sad, Ben. It's just a game. I will help you get your car." She goes to the sofa, and moves it a little bit. She sees Ben's car, and grabs it. She gives it to Ben, and says "Here is your car, Ben. It is cool, too. It is very red and shiny." + +Ben is happy. He says "Thank you, Mia. You are very nice. You are a good friend." He hugs Mia, and says "Sorry for being mean. You are the best, too." Mia hugs him back, and says "You're welcome, Ben. You are a good friend, too. Let's play again, but this time, let's share the cars." Ben agrees, and says "Yes, let's do that. Sharing is fun." They smile, and play again. They have fun. +Lily liked to dance. She danced in the morning, she danced in the afternoon, she danced at night. She danced with her toys, she danced with her mom, she danced with her dad. She danced when she was happy, she danced when she was sad, she danced when she was bored. + +One day, Lily wanted to dance with water. She ran to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. She put her hands under the water and felt it splash on her fingers. She giggled and moved her hands up and down. She made the water dance with her. + +She called her mom and said, "Mom, come and see! I can make the water dance!" + +Her mom came and saw Lily playing with the faucet. She smiled and said, "That's very clever, Lily. But you have to be careful not to waste water. Water is precious and we need to save it for drinking and washing." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will turn off the faucet soon. But can I dance with the water a little bit more?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, Lily. You can dance with the water for a little bit more. But then you have to turn off the faucet and dry your hands. And maybe you can dance with me in the living room. I like to dance with you too." + +Lily said, "Yay! I like to dance with you too, mom. You are the best dancer in the world!" + +Lily and her mom hugged and kissed. They were very happy. They turned off the faucet and dried their hands. Then they went to the living room and danced together. They danced and danced and danced. They had a lot of fun. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They are very enthusiastic. They say, "Look at my tower! It is so tall!" and "Wow, your bridge is so long!" + +One day, they decide to make a network with the blocks. They want to connect all their towers and bridges and houses with more blocks. They say, "This will be the best network ever! We can pretend it is a city!" + +They work hard and use many blocks. They are happy and proud. They stand up and look at their network. They say, "We did it! We made a network! It is so big and beautiful!" + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is Ben's little brother, Sam. He is running towards them. He is curious and clumsy. He does not see the network. He bumps into it and makes it fall down. He says, "Oops! Sorry!" + +Ben and Lily are sad and angry. They say, "No! Our network! You broke it! You are so naughty!" They cry and shout. Sam is scared and sorry. He says, "I did not mean to! I just wanted to see! Please don't be mad!" + +Ben and Lily calm down. They remember that Sam is little and does not know better. They say, "It's okay, Sam. We forgive you. But next time, be careful and ask before you touch. Do you want to help us make a new network?" + +Sam nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, please! I want to play with you!" Ben and Lily smile too. They say, "Okay, then. Come on, let's start again. We can make an even better network!" + +They hug and share the blocks. They are friends again. They are enthusiastic. They make a new network with the blocks. They have fun. +Lily wanted a puppy very much. She asked her mom and dad every day. But they said no. They said puppies need a lot of care and work. They said Lily was too little to help. Lily was sad. + +One day, Lily saw a sign in the pet shop. It said "Free Puppies". Lily ran inside. She saw four cute puppies in a cage. They were black and white and brown and fluffy. Lily wanted to take them all home. She asked the pet shop man if she could have one. + +The pet shop man smiled. He said Lily could have one, but only if she could answer a question. He said, "Which puppy is the most patient?" He pointed to the puppies. One was barking and jumping. One was chewing on a toy. One was sleeping. One was sitting quietly and looking at Lily. + +Lily thought hard. She knew what patient meant. It meant waiting and not making trouble. She looked at the puppies again. She said, "I think the patient puppy is the one sitting quietly and looking at me. He is not noisy or naughty or lazy. He is calm and friendly and smart." + +The pet shop man nodded. He said, "You are right, Lily. You have a good eye and a good heart. You can have the patient puppy. He will be a good friend for you. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise to be patient with him, too. You have to feed him and walk him and play with him and love him. You have to teach him and learn from him. You have to be a good owner. Can you do that?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I promise, sir. I will be patient with my puppy. I will be a good owner. Thank you for giving me a puppy. I will name him Pat." She hugged the patient puppy and he licked her face. They were both happy. + +The end. + +Moral: Patience is a virtue that helps us make good choices and good friends. +Lily and Ben love to play with bubbles. They have a big bottle of bubble soap and a wand with a circle. They blow air through the circle and make many bubbles. The bubbles are shiny and float in the air. Lily and Ben try to catch them and pop them. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big bubble!" Ben says. He holds the wand high and shows Lily his bubble. It is bigger than his head. + +"Wow, Ben, that is a big bubble!" Lily says. She claps her hands and smiles. She wants to see the big bubble up close. + +Lily runs to Ben and reaches for the bubble. But she is too fast and bumps into Ben. The bubble wobbles and snaps. It makes a loud noise and leaves some soap on Ben's face. + +"Oh no, Lily, you snapped my bubble!" Ben says. He is sad and angry. He wipes his face and frowns. He does not want to play with Lily anymore. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I did not mean to snap your bubble!" Lily says. She is sorry and sad too. She likes to play with Ben and his bubbles. She does not want him to be mad at her. + +Lily hugs Ben and says, "Please, Ben, don't be mad. I like your bubbles. Can we make more bubbles together?" + +Ben looks at Lily and sees her big eyes and her sweet smile. He feels his anger go away. He hugs Lily back and says, "Okay, Lily, I'm not mad. I like your bubbles too. Let's make more bubbles together." + +Lily and Ben are happy again. They take turns to blow bubbles and catch them. They laugh and have fun. The bubbles are shiny and float in the air. The air is peaceful and warm. Lily and Ben love to play with bubbles. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the sand. They have a big bucket and a small bucket. They fill the buckets with sand and make sand castles. + +"Look at my castle!" Lily says. "It has a door and a window and a flag." + +"It is very nice," Ben says. "But my castle is bigger. It has two doors and two windows and two flags." + +They compare their castles and smile. They are proud of their work. + +Then they see a dog. The dog is friendly. It has a brown coat and a wet nose. It runs to them and wags its tail. + +"Hello, dog!" Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog barks and licks Lily's face. Lily giggles. + +"Be careful, dog!" Ben says. "Don't knock down our castles!" + +The dog sniffs the sand and the buckets. It likes the smell. It picks up the small bucket in its mouth and runs away. + +"Hey, come back!" Lily and Ben shout. "That is our bucket!" + +They chase the dog. The dog thinks it is a game. It runs faster and faster. It drops the bucket near a tree and waits for them. + +Lily and Ben catch up with the dog. They are out of breath. They are not angry. They are happy. + +"Good dog!" Lily says. "You are very funny. Can we pet you?" + +The dog wags its tail again. It lets them pet its fur and scratch its ears. + +"Can we keep him?" Ben asks. "He is so friendly." + +"I don't know," Lily says. "Maybe we should ask his owner. Maybe he has a name and a home." + +They look around. They see a man walking towards them. He has a leash in his hand. He smiles. + +"Hello, kids!" he says. "I see you met my dog. His name is Spot. He likes to play, but sometimes he runs away. I'm sorry if he took your bucket." + +"That's OK," Lily and Ben say. "We had fun with him. He is a nice dog." + +"Thank you for being so kind," the man says. "Do you want to play with him some more?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say. + +They go back to the sand with the man and the dog. They share their buckets and make more castles. They laugh and smile. They are friends. +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and climb. But their favorite thing is to hang from the monkey bars. They hang with their hands and feet, and make funny faces at each other. + +One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a big, colorful ball. It hangs from a tall tree by a long rope. It moves in the wind. Sara and Ben are curious. They want to touch the ball and see what it is. + +They run to the tree and try to reach the ball. But it is too high. They jump and stretch, but they cannot touch it. They are sad. They wish they could hang from the ball like the monkey bars. + +Then they have an idea. They find a big stick on the ground. They lift the stick together and poke the ball with it. The ball swings and bounces. It makes a funny sound. Sara and Ben laugh. They poke the ball again and again. They make the ball move in different ways. They have fun with the ball. + +They call the ball their new friend. They hang from the monkey bars and watch the ball. They say hello and goodbye to the ball. They promise to come back and play with the ball again. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of animals, cars, and blocks to make fun things. Lily liked to make stories with her toys, and Ben liked to join her. + +"Let's pretend we are going to a volcano," Lily suggested. "We can take the jeep and the lion and the elephant." + +"Okay," Ben agreed. "But what is a volcano?" + +"A volcano is a big mountain that can make fire and smoke and loud noises. Sometimes it can make rocks fly in the air. It is very hot and dangerous, but also very exciting," Lily explained. + +They put their toys in the jeep and drove to the other side of the room, where they had a pile of pillows and blankets. They pretended it was a volcano. They made the jeep go up and down the pillows, and the lion and the elephant made noises. + +"Look, the volcano is orange!" Lily said, pointing to a blanket. "That means it is going to erupt soon. We have to be careful." + +"Wow, that is scary and cool," Ben said. "Can we see the fire and the smoke?" + +They moved the blanket a little and saw a flashlight under it. They turned it on and off, and pretended it was the fire and the smoke coming out of the volcano. They made loud noises with their mouths, and threw some blocks in the air, pretending they were rocks. + +They had a lot of fun playing with the volcano, until their mom called them for lunch. + +"Time to eat, kids," she said. "What are you playing with?" + +"We are playing with a volcano, mom," Lily said. "It is orange and hot and loud." + +"That sounds very interesting," mom said. "But don't forget to clean up your toys after lunch, okay?" + +"Okay, mom," Lily and Ben said. They turned off the flashlight and left the jeep and the animals near the pillows. They ran to the kitchen, hungry and happy. They loved playing with their toys and making stories. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Ben brings a new toy to Lily's house. It is a yacht. A yacht is a big boat that can go on the water. + +"Look at my yacht!" Ben says. "It is blue and white and has a sail. It can go fast and make waves. Do you want to play with it?" + +Lily nods. She likes boats. She takes the yacht and puts it in a tub of water. She makes it go left and right and splash. + +"Hey, be careful!" Ben says. "You are making a mess. You have to be organized. You have to put the yacht back in the box when you are done. And you have to dry it with a towel. That is how I take care of my yacht." + +Lily frowns. She does not like to be organized. She likes to have fun. She does not want to put the yacht back in the box. She wants to keep playing with it. + +"No, I don't have to be organized," she says. "It is just a toy. It does not matter if it gets wet or dirty. And I don't want to share it with you. It is mine now." + +Ben gets angry. He wants his yacht back. He tries to grab it from Lily, but she holds it tight. They start to pull and tug and shout. + +"Give me my yacht!" Ben says. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily says. + +They make so much noise that Lily's mom comes to see what is wrong. She sees the water and the mess and the fighting. She is not happy. + +"What is going on here?" she says. "Why are you not playing nicely? And why are you not organized?" + +She takes the yacht from Ben and Lily and puts it in the box. She gives them each a towel and tells them to dry themselves and the tub. She says they have to say sorry to each other and share the toys. + +Ben and Lily feel bad. They know they were wrong. They say sorry to each other and hug. They decide to play with something else. They find a ball and a basket. They have fun throwing the ball into the basket. They are friends again. They are organized. +Anna and Ben were playing with blocks in the playroom. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles with the blocks. Sometimes they shared the blocks and helped each other, but sometimes they wanted to have more blocks than the other. + +"Look at my tower, it is so tall and strong!" Ben said, showing his block tower to Anna. + +"My tower is taller and stronger than yours!" Anna said, pointing to her block tower. + +"No, it is not! Mine is better!" Ben said, getting angry. + +"Let's see who can make the tallest tower then!" Anna said, feeling competitive. + +They both started to add more blocks to their towers, trying to make them higher and higher. They did not notice that their towers were getting wobbly and unstable. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" a voice said. It was their teacher, Miss Lee. She had come to check on them and saw their towers about to fall. + +"What are you doing, Anna and Ben? You are making a big mess and you could hurt yourselves or each other!" Miss Lee said, looking worried. + +"We are making towers, Miss Lee. We want to see who can make the tallest tower!" Anna and Ben said, still holding blocks in their hands. + +"That is not a good way to play with blocks, Anna and Ben. You are not being nice or safe. You are being competitive and greedy. You should share the blocks and work together, not fight over them. Why don't you suggest a different game to play with blocks, something that is fun and friendly?" Miss Lee said, taking some blocks away from them. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry. They did not want to make Miss Lee or each other sad. They wanted to play with blocks and have fun. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was being mean. I don't care who has the tallest tower. I like your tower, it is very nice." Anna said, putting down her blocks. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I was being mean too. I don't care who has the strongest tower. I like your tower, it is very nice too." Ben said, putting down his blocks. + +They hugged and smiled. They felt better. + +"Can we still play with blocks, Miss Lee?" Anna asked. + +"Of course you can, Anna. But you have to play nicely and safely. Do you have any ideas for a different game to play with blocks?" Miss Lee asked. + +"I have an idea, Miss Lee. Why don't we make a big castle together, with walls and towers and a gate and a flag? We can use all the blocks and share them. That would be fun!" Ben suggested. + +"That sounds like a great idea, Ben. I like castles. Can we make a moat and a bridge too?" Anna suggested. + +"Sure, Anna. That would be cool!" Ben agreed. + +They both looked at Miss Lee and waited for her answer. + +"That sounds like a wonderful idea, Anna and Ben. I'm proud of you for being creative and cooperative. You can play with blocks and make a castle, but remember to be careful and respectful. Can I help you too?" Miss Lee suggested. + +"Yes, please, Miss Lee. We would love your help!" Anna and Ben said. + +They all went to the block corner and started to build a big castle together. They used the blocks and shared them. They had fun and were friendly. They were happy. +Tom and Lisa were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of toys, because their parents were wealthy lawyers who worked hard and earned a lot of money. Tom liked to play with cars and trucks, and Lisa liked to play with dolls and dresses. + +"Look at my new car, Lisa!" Tom said, showing her a shiny red car that made noises and lights. "It can go very fast and stop with a beep!" + +"That's nice, Tom, but I like my new doll better," Lisa said, holding a pretty doll with long hair and a pink dress. "She can talk and sing and dance with me!" + +Tom and Lisa started to play with their own toys, but soon they got bored. They wanted to play with each other's toys, but they did not want to share. They started to fight and grab and pull and shout. + +"Give me my car, Lisa! It's mine!" Tom yelled, trying to take the car from Lisa's hands. + +"No, Tom, give me my doll! It's mine!" Lisa screamed, trying to take the doll from Tom's arms. + +They made so much noise that their parents heard them from their office. They came to the living room and saw their children fighting over the toys. They were not happy. They wanted their children to be nice and polite and respectful. + +"Stop, Tom and Lisa! Stop fighting right now!" their father said, in a stern voice. "You are both being very naughty and selfish. You have so many toys, but you don't appreciate them. You should learn to share and take turns and play together." + +"Yes, stop, Tom and Lisa! Stop being rude and mean," their mother said, in a gentle voice. "You are both very lucky and blessed. You should be grateful and kind and loving. You should learn to give and thank and hug each other." + +Tom and Lisa felt ashamed and sorry. They realized that their parents were right. They had been bad and foolish. They did not want to make their parents sad and angry. They wanted to make them proud and happy. + +They let go of the toys and looked at each other. They said sorry and forgave each other. They hugged and kissed and smiled. They decided to share and take turns and play together. They gave their toys to each other and said thank you and complimented each other. + +"Here, Lisa, you can play with my car. It's very cool and fun," Tom said, handing the car to Lisa. + +"Thank you, Tom, you are very generous and sweet," Lisa said, taking the car from Tom. + +"Here, Tom, you can play with my doll. She's very pretty and smart," Lisa said, handing the doll to Tom. + +"Thank you, Lisa, you are very thoughtful and nice," Tom said, taking the doll from Lisa. + +They played happily and peacefully with their toys and with each other. They made noises and lights and songs and dances. They made their parents smile and laugh and clap. They were good and wise children. They were happy and wealthy lawyers. +Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big tree with green and yellow fruits. They were pears. Ben and Mia loved pears. They wanted to pick some and eat them. + +"Can we have some pears, please?" Ben asked his mom, who was sitting on a bench. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful. Don't climb too high or you might fall," his mom said. + +Ben and Mia ran to the tree. They saw some pears that were low and easy to reach. They picked two each and bit into them. They were sweet and juicy. They smiled and said, "Yum!" + +But then they saw some pears that were high and hidden by the leaves. They looked bigger and brighter than the others. Ben and Mia wanted those pears too. They thought they would be even sweeter and juicier. + +"Let's climb the tree and get those pears," Ben said. + +"But mom said not to climb too high," Mia said. + +"Don't worry, we can do it. It will be fun," Ben said. + +He put his pear down and started to climb the tree. He grabbed a branch and pulled himself up. He saw a hidden pear and reached for it. But the branch was weak and it broke. Ben lost his balance and fell to the ground. He cried out loud. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Mia shouted. She dropped her pear and ran to him. + +"Ow, ow, ow! My arm hurts!" Ben said. + +His mom heard him and came to him. She saw that his arm was red and swollen. She hugged him and said, "Oh, Ben, I'm sorry. You should have listened to me. You were not allowed to climb too high. You could have hurt yourself badly. Come on, let's go to the doctor and see if your arm is broken." + +She took him by the hand and walked to the car. Mia followed them. She felt sorry for Ben. She wished they had not climbed the tree. She looked back at the pears. They were still hidden by the leaves. She thought they were not worth it. +Sara was a generous girl. She liked to share her toys with her friends. She had a big box of dolls, cars, blocks and books. She always let her friends choose what they wanted to play with. + +One day, Sara invited Anna to her house. Anna was a new girl in her class. Sara wanted to be her friend. She showed Anna her box of toys and said, "You can play with anything you like. I will share with you." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Sara. You are very generous. Can I play with this doll? She has a pretty dress and long hair." + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, you can. She is my favorite doll. Her name is Lily. You can comb her hair and change her dress. I have more dresses in this bag." + +Anna was happy. She took Lily and the bag of dresses. She sat on the floor and started to play. Sara watched her and felt glad. She thought Anna was a nice girl. + +But then, Anna did something that made Sara sad. She took a pair of scissors from the bag and cut Lily's hair. She said, "I don't like long hair. I like short hair. Now Lily looks like me." + +Sara gasped and said, "No, Anna, no! You can't do that. You can't cut Lily's hair. She is my doll. You have to ask me first. That is not nice." + +Anna looked at Sara and said, "Why not? It is just hair. It will grow back. And I like her better this way. She is my doll now. You gave her to me." + +Sara felt angry and hurt. She said, "No, I didn't. I let you play with her. I didn't give her to you. You have to give her back. You have to say sorry. You have to be gentle with my toys. That is the rule." + +Anna shook her head and said, "No, I don't. I don't have to do anything. You can't tell me what to do. You are not my boss. You are not my friend." + +Sara started to cry. She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Sara. That was not nice of Anna. She should not have cut Lily's hair. She should not have kept her. She should not have been rude to you. She did not respect your toys or your feelings. She did not follow the rule of sharing. She did not permit you to have a say. She was not a good friend." + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, mom. She was not a good friend. She was a bad friend. I don't want to play with her anymore. I want to play with someone else. Someone who is generous and kind. Someone who is like me." +Tom and Lily wanted to make a cake for Mom. They asked Dad to take them to the store. Dad said yes and they got in the car. + +At the store, they saw many things. They saw bread, milk, eggs, cheese, and more. They also saw a big jar of lemons. Tom and Lily liked lemons. They were yellow and round and shiny. They asked Dad if they could buy some lemons. Dad said yes and put them in the cart. + +When they got home, they helped Dad make the cake. They mixed flour, sugar, butter, and eggs in a big bowl. They poured the batter in a pan and put it in the oven. Then they squeezed the lemons to make juice. They added some sugar and water to the juice. They wanted to make lemonade. + +They waited for the cake to bake. They smelled something good. They looked at the oven. The cake was ready. They took it out and let it cool. They poured some lemonade in cups. They were thirsty. + +They tasted the lemonade. It was very sour. They made a funny face. They did not like it. They wanted to improve it. They asked Dad what to do. Dad said they could add more sugar or some honey. They tried both. They tasted the lemonade again. It was better. It was sweet and sour. They liked it. + +They cut a piece of cake and put it on a plate. They gave it to Mom. Mom was happy. She said thank you and gave them a hug. She tasted the cake. It was delicious. She said it was the best cake ever. She asked for some lemonade. They gave her a cup. She tasted the lemonade. It was sour. She made a funny face. She did not like it. She said it was too sour for her. She asked for some water. + +Tom and Lily laughed. They said they liked the lemonade. They said it was good for them. They said it made them strong and smart. They drank some more. They were proud. They had made a cake and lemonade for Mom. They had improved the lemonade. They had fun. They loved Mom. Mom loved them. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They skip and run and laugh. They see a big house with a fence. They want to look inside. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go see the house!" Sara says. + +"OK, Sara, but be careful. It looks scary," Ben says. + +They skip to the fence and climb over it. They see a door with a sign. The sign says "Do not enter". They do not know what it means. They open the door and go inside. + +The house is dark and cold. They hear a loud noise. It is a dog. A big, angry dog. It barks and growls and runs to them. + +"Help, Sara, help!" Ben cries. + +"Run, Ben, run!" Sara shouts. + +They try to run back to the door, but the dog is faster. It catches them and bites them. It drags them to a room. The room has bars and locks. It is a cell. The dog puts them in the cell and leaves. + +Sara and Ben are hurt and scared. They hug each other and cry. They see a window in the cell. It is small and high. They see the sun and the sky. They see the park and the fence. They see their parents looking for them. They call to them, but they do not hear them. + +They are trapped in the cell. They do not know how to get out. They do not know if anyone will find them. They do not know what will happen to them. + +The end. +Lily liked to play outside when it rained. She put on her boots and coat and ran to the garden. She saw many puddles on the grass and jumped in them. She splashed and laughed and had fun. + +But then she saw a big puddle near the fence. It was very dark and deep. Lily wanted to jump in it too, but she felt scared. She thought maybe there was something bad in the puddle. She looked at it for a long time. + +Suddenly, a frog appeared from the puddle. It was green and slimy and had big eyes. It croaked and looked at Lily. Lily was surprised and curious. She said hello to the frog and asked what it was doing in the puddle. + +The frog said it was his home and he liked it there. He said he was lonely and wanted a friend. He asked Lily if she wanted to be his friend. Lily smiled and said yes. She said she liked frogs and they were good animals. + +Lily and the frog became friends and played together. They talked and sang and shared stories. Lily learned many things from the frog and the frog learned many things from Lily. They were happy and had fun. + +The moral of the story is: don't judge something by how it looks. You might find a good friend in an unexpected place. +Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat a banana. She looked in the kitchen, but there was no banana. She looked in the living room, but there was no banana. She looked in her bedroom, but there was no banana. Where was the banana? + +She saw her brother, Ben, playing with his cars. She asked him, "Do you have a banana?" He shook his head. He said, "No, I don't have a banana. I have a car. Do you want to play with me?" Lily said, "No, thank you. I want to eat a banana." + +She saw her mom, who was reading a book. She asked her, "Do you have a banana?" She smiled. She said, "Yes, I have a banana. It is in the fridge. Do you want me to get it for you?" Lily said, "Yes, please. I am hungry." + +Mom put down her book and took Lily's hand. They walked to the kitchen. Mom opened the fridge and took out a banana. She peeled it and broke it in half. She gave one half to Lily and one half to herself. They ate the banana together. Lily was happy. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." Mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you too." +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They have different styles. Tom likes to run and jump and climb. Anna likes to draw and sing and dance. + +One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has many ice creams. Tom and Anna love ice creams. They run to the truck and ask for one. + +"What kind of ice cream do you want?" the truck man asks. + +"I want chocolate!" Tom says. + +"I want strawberry!" Anna says. + +The truck man gives them their ice creams. They are very happy. + +"Thank you, truck man!" they say. + +They sit on a bench and eat their ice creams. They are very yummy. + +"Tom, do you want to try my strawberry ice cream?" Anna offers. "It is sweet and pink and healthy. It has fruit in it." + +"Anna, do you want to try my chocolate ice cream?" Tom offers. "It is rich and brown and tasty. It has nuts in it." + +They swap their ice creams and take a bite. They make a face. + +"Yuck!" Tom says. "I don't like strawberry. It is too sour and soft." + +"Yuck!" Anna says. "I don't like chocolate. It is too bitter and hard." + +They give back their ice creams and finish them. They are not happy. + +They look at each other and say sorry. + +"Sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to make you unhappy. I just wanted to share with you." Anna says. + +"Sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to make you unhappy. I just wanted to share with you." Tom says. + +They hug and smile. + +They learn a lesson. They learn that they have different styles and tastes. They learn that it is good to offer and share, but it is also good to respect and accept. They learn that they can be friends even if they are different. They are happy again. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to draw pictures with crayons. One day, they find a big book of pictures in the library. The book has many pictures of animals, flowers, cars and more. Tom and Sue want to use the book for their drawings. + +They take the book to a table and open it. They see a picture of a lion. Tom likes the lion. He wants to draw it. He takes a yellow crayon and starts to draw on the picture. Sue sees what Tom is doing. She is angry. She says, "No, Tom! You cannot do that! You cannot draw on the book! The book is not yours! You have to be careful with the book!" + +Tom does not listen to Sue. He says, "I can do what I want! I like the lion! I want to make it better!" He draws more on the picture. He makes the lion's mane rough and big. He makes the lion's teeth sharp and long. He makes the lion's eyes red and mean. + +Sue is very angry. She says, "Stop, Tom! Stop! You are ruining the book! The book is not for drawing! The book is for looking! You have to respect the book!" She tries to take the book from Tom. Tom does not let go. He says, "No, Sue! No! The book is mine! I can use it how I want!" He pulls the book from Sue. He tears the page with the lion. He makes a big hole in the book. + +Sue is very sad. She says, "Look, Tom! Look what you did! You broke the book! You hurt the book! How can you do that? The book is beautiful! The book is precious! The book is a gift! You have to be grateful for the book!" + +Tom looks at the book. He sees the hole. He sees the torn page. He sees the ruined picture. He feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, Sue. I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was selfish. I was mean. I did not think about the book. I did not think about you. I did not think about the library. I did not think about the people who made the book. I did not think about the people who want to see the book. I did not think about the moral value of the book." + +Sue says, "It's okay, Tom. It's okay. You made a mistake. You can learn from your mistake. You can say sorry to the library.

This is my car!" Tim said. + +"No, quit it! Quit it! This is my car!" Sam said. + +They were so angry that they did not see their mom coming into the room. She saw them fighting and took the car away from them. + +"Boys, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over a car?" she asked. + +They both tried to explain that it was their car and the other one was wrong. They did not listen to each other or to their mom. + +Mom shook her head and said, "This car is not yours or his. This car is mine. I bought it for you to share and play nicely. But you are not sharing and playing nicely. You are being terrible. You do not value what you have. You do not value each other. You are making me sad." + +She put the car on a high shelf and said, "You cannot play with this car until you say sorry to each other and promise to be kind. Go to your rooms and think about what you did." + +Tim and Sam felt ashamed and sorry. They did not want to make their mom sad. They did not want to be terrible. They did not want to lose their car.

They liked to play with toys and pretend to be cowboys. One day, Ben got a new toy. It was a pistol. It looked like a real one, but it only made a loud noise when he pulled the trigger. + +"Look, Sam, I have a pistol!" Ben said, showing his toy to Sam. "I can shoot the bad guys and save the day!" + +"Wow, that's cool!" Sam said, admiring the pistol. "Can I try it?" + +"Sure, you can try it. But you have to be careful. It's mine. I own it." Ben said, handing the pistol to Sam. + +Sam took the pistol and aimed at a tree. He pulled the trigger and heard a loud bang. He felt a thrill of excitement. He wanted to own a pistol too. + +"Can I have it?" Sam asked, holding the pistol tightly. + +"No, you can't have it. It's mine. I own it." Ben said, reaching for the pistol. + +"But I like it. It's fun. Please, can I have it?" Sam begged, pulling the pistol away from Ben. + +"No, you can't have it. It's mine. I own it. Give it back!" Ben shouted, trying to grab the pistol. + +They started to fight over the pistol. They pulled and pushed and yelled. They did not see the tall man who was walking by. He heard the noise and saw the boys. He thought they had a real pistol. He was scared and angry. + +"Hey, you two, stop that!" the tall man said, running towards them. "What are you doing with a pistol? That's dangerous!" + +The boys stopped fighting and looked at the tall man. They saw his big face and his angry eyes. They felt scared and sorry. + +"It's not a real pistol. It's a toy." Ben said, dropping the pistol. + +"It's a toy?" the tall man said, picking up the pistol. He looked at it and saw that it was plastic and had a red tip. He realized that it was not a real pistol. He felt relieved and annoyed. + +"It's a toy, but it's still not a good thing to play with. You could hurt someone or yourself. And you should not fight over it. You should share and be nice to each other." the tall man said, giving the pistol back to Ben. + +"Yes, sir. We're sorry, sir." Ben and Sam said, looking down. + +The tall man nodded and walked away. Ben and Sam looked at each other. They felt ashamed and silly. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I should not have asked for your pistol. It's yours. You own it." Sam said, giving Ben a hug. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I should not have shouted at you. You're my friend. You can try my pistol anytime."

Jen says, "Please, Tom, I just want to look. I will not take it." Tom says, "No, no, no. Go away." + +Jen is sad. She thinks Tom is stubborn. She does not want to play with him anymore. She goes to her house and gets her bike. She says, "I do not need a license. I have a bike. I can ride anywhere I want." + +Tom sees Jen riding her bike. He thinks she is having fun. He wants to join her. He says, "Jen, wait for me. Can I ride with you?" Jen says, "No, you cannot. You were mean to me. You did not let me see your license. You can play with your car alone." + +Tom is sorry. He realizes he was stubborn. He says, "Jen, I am sorry. I was wrong. You can see my license. You can play with my car. Please, be my friend again."

Can I have one too?" Tom says, "Maybe, when you are older. But for now, we can share mine. Come on, let's go visit the park." Jen says, "OK, let's go. But you have to wear a helmet. It is safer." Tom says, "OK, I will. You are a good friend, Jen." Jen says, "You are a good friend, too, Tom." They ride their bike and car to the park. They have fun. They are happy. The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Lily found a shiny fork and put it in her pocket.

Lily gave him a spoon and watched him sip the soup. She smiled. She had the fork and he did not. + +Tom made a face. "This soup is yucky. It is too salty. And where is the fork? We need a fork to eat the soup." + +Lily felt guilty. She knew she should share the fork with Tom. She was not being honest. She took the fork out of her pocket and said, "Sorry, Tom. I have the fork. I forgot to give it to you." + +Tom was angry. He grabbed the fork from Lily and threw it at her. The fork hit her in the eye and made her cry. She dropped the bowl and the soup spilled on the floor. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily screamed. "You hurt me, Tom! You are mean!" + +Tom felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily.

She balances on the big stick. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big black dog. The dog is sad. He has no home and no food. + +"Can we help him?" Jen asks Tom. + +"Yes, we can. Let's unite and find him a home," Tom says. + +They go to the dog and pet him. The dog wags his tail. He likes them. They give him some bread and water. They look for a sign that says "lost dog" or "free dog". They find none. + +"Maybe we can take him to our homes," Jen says. + +"But our moms and dads may not like him. He is big and black. He may make a lot of noise and mess," Tom says. + +They think hard. They remember that Mrs. Lee, who lives near the park, loves animals. She has a big yard and a cozy house. Maybe she can take the dog. + +They go to Mrs. Lee and knock on her door. She opens it and smiles. + +"Hello, Tom and Jen. What can I do for you?" she asks. + +They tell her about the dog. They ask her if she can take him. + +Mrs. Lee looks at the dog. He looks at her with big brown eyes. He is thin and dirty, but he is gentle and friendly. + +"Of course, I can take him.

She gives Tom and Jen some cookies and milk. She tells them they can visit Max anytime. + +Tom and Jen are happy. They hug Max and Mrs. Lee. They have united to help a sad dog.

It has hair on it! You can wear it and look funny!" + +Mia's dad laughs. He puts on the hat. He says, "Thank you, my sweeties! You are very creative and kind! I love your surprise! But I also love my bald head. It is part of me. And you love me for who I am, right?" + +Ben and Mia nod. They hug Mia's dad. They say, "Yes, dad, we love you for who you are!

She sees Sara and Ben fighting over the car. She is not happy. She takes the car from Sara and puts it on a high shelf. "No more car for now," she says. "You need to share and be nice to each other." + +Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They sit on the floor and cross their arms. They do not want to play with their other toys.

She brings them some paper and crayons. She shows them how to draw a car. She says they can make their own cars and race them on the floor. Sara and Ben think that sounds fun. They start to draw their cars. They use different colors and shapes. They make their cars look cool and fast. + +They finish their drawings and cut them out. They put them on the floor and pretend they are driving them. They make noises and laugh. They do not fight over the car anymore. They take turns and share. They make a zigzag with their paper cars.

She thinks they are not boring at all. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big hill with many rocks. Ben said, "Let's climb the hill. It looks fun." Mia said, "No, it looks scary. We might fall and get pain." Ben said, "Don't be a baby. I dare you to climb the hill with me. I will go first." + +Ben started to climb the hill. He was careful not to step on the sharp rocks. He looked back and saw Mia following him. She was nervous but she did not want to lose the dare. They climbed higher and higher. They felt proud and brave. + +But then, they saw something unusual on the top of the hill. It was a big nest with three eggs. The eggs were blue and green and had spots. Ben and Mia wondered what kind of bird laid the eggs. They wanted to touch them and see how they felt. But before they could, they heard a loud roar. It was the mother of the eggs. She was not a bird. She was a dragon. + +The dragon was angry. She saw Ben and Mia near her eggs. She thought they wanted to hurt them. She opened her mouth and breathed fire. Ben and Mia were scared. They ran down the hill as fast as they could. They dodged the rocks and the fire. They reached the bottom of the hill and ran to their parents. They told them what they saw. Their parents did not believe them. They thought they made up the story. + +Ben and Mia learned a lesson. They decided not to climb the hill again. They also decided not to dare each other to do dangerous things. They played in the park with their friends. They had fun and stayed safe. They never forgot the dragon and her eggs. They wondered if they would ever see them again. +Lily and Anna are friends. They like to play with dolls. Lily has a new doll. It is pink and soft. Anna likes the new doll. She wants to play with it. + +"Can I borrow your doll?" Anna asks Lily. + +"Okay, but be gentle," Lily says. "She is my favorite doll." + +Anna takes the doll and runs away. She does not play gentle. She pulls the doll's hair and rips her dress. She throws the doll on the ground and steps on her. The doll is broken and dirty. + +Lily sees what Anna does. She is very sad and angry. She runs to Anna and tries to get her doll back. But Anna pushes her and runs away. She does not say sorry. + +Lily cries and hugs her broken doll. She does not want to be friends with Anna anymore. Anna is mean and does not share. Lily wishes she never let Anna borrow her doll. +Lily and Ben are friends who live next door to each other. They like to play in their backyards, but there is a fence between them. Sometimes they talk through the fence, but they wish they could see each other better. + +One day, Lily has a creative idea. She finds some old paper and crayons in her house and makes some pictures. She tapes them to the fence so Ben can see them. She makes a picture of a flower, a sun, a cat and a heart. + +Ben is happy when he sees the pictures. He thinks Lily is very nice and clever. He wants to make some pictures for her too. He looks for some paper and crayons in his house, but he cannot find any. He worries that Lily will be sad if he does not make any pictures for her. + +He thinks hard and looks around his backyard. He sees some rocks, some leaves, some sticks and some flowers. He has a creative idea too. He arranges them on the ground to make some pictures. He makes a picture of a star, a moon, a dog and a smile. + +He calls Lily and tells her to look over the fence. Lily is surprised and happy when she sees the pictures. She thinks Ben is very nice and clever too. They both laugh and say thank you to each other. They do not worry about the fence anymore. They are happy to have a creative friend. +Ben likes to play with his toy motorcycle. He makes it go fast and loud on the floor. He thinks he is very strong and brave. He wants to balance on his motorcycle like the big people do. + +One day, he sees his dad's motorcycle in the garage. It is big and shiny and has two wheels. Ben thinks it is the best toy ever. He climbs on it and tries to balance. He pushes a button and the motorcycle makes a loud noise. He is scared but he does not get off. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" his dad shouts. He runs to the garage and sees Ben on his motorcycle. He is angry and worried. He tries to grab Ben and turn off the motorcycle. But it is too late. The motorcycle moves and Ben falls off. He hits his head on the floor and cries. + +Ben's dad picks him up and hugs him. He is sorry and sad. He takes him to the doctor. The doctor says Ben has a big bump on his head and needs to rest. He gives him a bandage and a sticker. + +Ben is hurt and sad. He does not like his toy motorcycle anymore. He wishes he had listened to his dad. He learns that balancing on a motorcycle is not for little kids. It is dangerous and not fun. He says sorry to his dad and hugs him. He hopes he will feel better soon. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat some cake. But Mom said they had to wait. She said she was making a rare cake, a special cake, a cake with a surprise. + +"What is the surprise, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"You will see, my dear. But you have to wait until the cake is done. It will take some time. Can you be patient?" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They tried to wait. They played with their toys. They read some books. They sang some songs. But they still wanted to eat some cake. + +"Is the cake done yet, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Not yet, my sweet. But it will be soon. I just have to provide the final touch. Can you wait a little longer?" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded again. They tried to wait. They looked out the window. They drew some pictures. They hugged each other. But they still wanted to eat some cake. + +"Is the cake done now, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, it is, my love. Come and see. I have a surprise for you. A rare cake, a special cake, a cake with a surprise." Mom said. + +Lily and Ben ran to the kitchen. They saw a big cake on the table. It was round and brown and smelled good. But there was something else on the cake. Something that made them gasp. + +"Wow, Mom! You made a cake with a dinosaur on it!" Ben exclaimed. + +"Yes, I did, my darling. A rare cake, a special cake, a cake with a surprise. Do you like it?" Mom asked. + +"We love it, Mom! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lily and Ben said. + +They hugged Mom and kissed her. Then they cut the cake and ate some. It was delicious. They were happy. They waited for a long time, but it was worth it. Mom provided them with a rare cake, a special cake, a cake with a surprise. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with boats. They had many toy boats of different colors and sizes. They hoped to go to the big harbor one day and see the real boats. + +One sunny day, their mom said they could go to the harbor with her. They were very happy and ran to get their toy boats. They wanted to take them to the harbor and pretend they were captains. + +But when they got to the harbor, they saw a big sign that said "No toy boats allowed". They were very sad and asked their mom why. She said it was because the harbor was busy and dangerous, and the toy boats could get lost or broken. + +Tom and Sam looked at the water and saw many big boats. Some were white and shiny, some were gray and loud, some were colorful and funny. They wanted to go closer and touch them, but their mom said they had to stay with her. + +Then they saw a man who was very bossy. He wore a hat and a coat and had a whistle. He told the big boats where to go and when to stop. He was the harbor master. He saw Tom and Sam and their toy boats and frowned. + +"Hey, you two, what are you doing here?" he shouted. "Don't you know this is a no toy boat zone? Get out of here before I throw your toys in the water!" + +Tom and Sam were scared and ran to their mom. They hugged her and said they were sorry. They hoped the bossy man would not take their toy boats away. They wished they could play with them somewhere else. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw big drops of water falling from the sky. It was raining! + +"Wow, look at the rain!" Lily said. "It makes everything wet and shiny." + +"I like the rain," Ben said. "It makes funny sounds on the roof." + +They watched the rain for a while, then they heard another noise. It was their mom, coming home with a big bag. She opened the door and smiled at them. + +"Hello, my loves!" she said. "I have a surprise for you. Come and see!" + +Lily and Ben ran to their mom and hugged her. She opened the bag and took out something small and soft. It was a baby! + +"Meet your new brother, Sam," she said. "He was born today. He is very tiny and cute." + +Lily and Ben gasped. They had never seen a baby before. They looked at Sam with wonder and curiosity. He had a pink face, a fuzzy head, and tiny fingers and toes. He was wrapped in a fancy blanket with stars and moons on it. + +"Can we touch him?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, but be gentle," mom said. "He is very fragile and sleepy." + +Lily and Ben carefully touched Sam's blanket, his head, and his hand. Sam opened his eyes and made a small noise. He looked at Lily and Ben and smiled. + +"He likes us!" Ben said. + +"He does," mom said. "He is very lucky to have you as his big sister and brother. And I am very lucky to have you all as my family. I love you so much." + +Lily and Ben smiled back. They loved their mom and their new baby brother. They felt very happy and warm. They didn't mind the rain anymore. It was a perfect day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room when they heard a loud knock on the door. They ran to see who it was. It was the mailman with a large package for them. + +"Wow, what is it?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, but it's heavy. Can you help me move it inside?" the mailman said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and grabbed the package from both sides. They tried to lift it, but it was too hard. They pushed it instead, but it was too slow. They pulled it, but it got stuck on the rug. + +"Uh-oh, how can we move it?" Ben wondered. + +"Maybe we can roll it," Lily suggested. + +They tilted the package and made it roll on the floor. It was faster and easier. They rolled it all the way to the couch and stopped. + +"Yay, we did it!" they cheered. + +"Thank you, kids. You are very helpful," the mailman said. He gave them a sticker and a smile. "Now, do you want to open it and see what's inside?" + +Lily and Ben nodded eagerly. They tore the paper and saw a big surprise. It was a new toy train set from their grandma. + +"Wow, thank you, grandma!" they exclaimed. + +They hugged the package and the mailman. They couldn't wait to play with their new toy. They moved the package to the floor and set up the tracks and the trains. They had a lot of fun. They were very happy. +Sam and Lily were twins who lived on a big ranch with many animals. They liked to play with the horses, the cows, the chickens and the dogs. One day, they decided to explore the barn where their dad kept his tools and machines. + +"Look, Lily, this is a lock. It can open and close things," Sam said, holding a shiny metal thing in his hand. + +"Can I see?" Lily asked, reaching for the lock. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't lose it or break it," Sam warned, giving the lock to Lily. + +Lily took the lock and looked at it. She saw a hole and a key. She wondered what would happen if she put the key in the hole and turned it. She tried it and heard a click. The lock was closed. + +"Wow, that's cool. Let me try to open it," Sam said, wanting the lock back. + +But Lily did not want to give it back. She liked the lock and wanted to keep it. She ran away from Sam and hid behind a pile of hay. + +"Hey, give it back. That's not fair. It's dad's lock, not yours," Sam shouted, chasing Lily. + +"No, it's mine. I like it. Go away," Lily shouted back, holding the lock tight. + +They ran around the barn, yelling and fighting over the lock. They did not see their dad coming in with a big tractor. He was going to move some hay to the fields. He did not see them either, because they were too small and too noisy. + +He parked the tractor near the barn door and got off. He locked the door with another key, to keep the animals out. He did not know that Sam and Lily were inside. He walked away to do some other work. + +Sam and Lily stopped running when they heard the door close. They looked at each other and felt scared. They tried to open the door, but it was locked. They banged on the door and shouted for help, but no one heard them. They were trapped in the barn. + +They realized that they had been very silly and selfish. They had fought over a lock that was not theirs, and they had ignored their dad's rules. They had put themselves in danger and made their dad worry. + +They hugged each other and said sorry. They decided to share the lock and wait for their dad to come back. They hoped he would come soon and find them. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful with other people's things, to listen to their parents, and to be kind to each other. They learned that a lock can open and close things, but it can also lock them in or out. They learned that it is better to be clear and honest, than to hide and lie. +Lisa and Tom are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they see a big envelope on the table. It has a sticker with their names on it. + +"Wow, what is this?" Lisa asks. + +"Maybe it is a present for us!" Tom says. + +They run to the table and try to open the envelope. But it is too hard. They pull and tear, but they cannot see what is inside. + +"Let me help you," Mom says. She comes to the table and takes the envelope. She opens it with a scissors and shows them what is inside. + +"It is a letter and a picture from Grandma and Grandpa. They miss you and they love you very much. Look, they are in the park with their dog, Spot." + +Lisa and Tom smile and hug the letter and the picture. They love Grandma and Grandpa, and they love Spot. They want to see them soon. + +But then, Lisa sees something else in the envelope. It is a small card with a star on it. It says: "To Tom, you are a star. Love, Grandma and Grandpa." + +Lisa feels envious. She wants a card with a star, too. She thinks Grandma and Grandpa love Tom more than her. + +She starts to cry and says: "It is not fair! Why does Tom get a card and I don't? I want a card, too!" + +Mom hears Lisa and hugs her. She says: "Don't cry, Lisa. Grandma and Grandpa love you both the same. They sent you a card, too. It is here, in the envelope. See, it says: "To Lisa, you are a star. Love, Grandma and Grandpa." + +Lisa stops crying and looks at the card. She feels happy. She says: "Thank you, Mom. I am sorry, Tom. I was envious. Can we share the cards and the picture?" + +Tom nods and says: "Of course, Lisa. We are twins. We share everything. I love you." + +Lisa and Tom hug each other and say: "We love you, too, Mom. And we love Grandma and Grandpa. And we love Spot." +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they see a big box in the park. The box is wide and brown. It has a picture of a car on it. + +"Wow, look at that box!" Ben says. "Maybe there is a car inside. Let's pick it up and see." + +"OK, let's go!" Sam says. They run to the box and try to pick it up. But the box is too heavy. They cannot lift it. + +"Help, help!" Ben says. "The box is stuck on my hand. It hurts!" + +Sam tries to pull the box off Ben's hand. But the box does not move. It is too tight. + +"Help, help!" Sam says. "The box is stuck on my hand too. It hurts!" + +They cry and scream. They want someone to help them. But no one hears them. No one comes. The box is too big and too loud. It covers their voices. + +They are stuck in the box. They are scared and sad. They wish they never saw the box. They wish they never tried to pick it up. They wish they played with their toys instead. The end. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the park with Lily's mom. They see a big slide and a swing. They run to the slide and take turns. + +"Tom, you go first. I will wait here," Lily says. + +"OK, Lily. Watch me!" Tom says. He climbs up the ladder and slides down. He laughs and says, "That was fun!" + +Lily claps and says, "Good job, Tom! Now it's my turn." She climbs up the ladder and slides down. She smiles and says, "That was fun, too!" + +They play on the slide for a while. Then they go to the swing. They push each other and sing songs. They have a lot of fun. + +After some time, Lily feels something in her tummy. She says, "Tom, I need to go to the toilet." + +Tom says, "OK, Lily. Where is the toilet?"
