You're the best friend ever." + +From that day on, Lily knew that even though she couldn't go to the universe, she could still offer love and kindness to those around her. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to pick flowers in his garden. One day, Timmy's mommy asked him to go to the port to pick up some food for dinner. Timmy was so excited to go to the port because it was very high and he loved to see the big boats. + +Timmy went to the port and picked up the food, but on his way back home, he tripped and dropped all the food. He was very sad and didn't know what to do. He went home empty-handed and his mommy was very upset. They had no food for dinner and Timmy felt very bad. + +From that day on, Timmy learned to be more careful when he picked things up and to always watch where he was going. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved candy so much that she ate it all the time. Her mom said, "Lily, you can't eat too much candy or you'll get sick." But Lily didn't listen. + +One day, Lily went to a party and ate so much candy that she started to feel sick. She felt like she had a tummy ache. But she didn't tell anyone because she didn't want to stop eating candy. + +Later that night, Lily started to panic. Her tummy hurt so much that she couldn't sleep. Her mom took her to the hospital, but it was too late. The doctor said that Lily had eaten too much candy and her tummy couldn't handle it. Lily was so sick that she couldn't be treated. + +Lily's family was so sad and grateful for the time they had with her. They wished they had listened to her mom and stopped her from eating so much candy. From that day on, they never ate too much candy again. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to eat soup, especially tomato soup. One day, her mom made her a bowl of soup, but it was too hot. Lily didn't want to wait for it to cool down, so she blew on it and burned her tongue. + +Lily's mom told her to wait for the soup to cool down, but Lily disagreed. She wanted to eat it right away. So, she kept blowing on it until it was finally cool enough to eat. But when she took a bite, she realized that the soup was spoiled and made her sick. + +Lily's mom was very upset that Lily didn't listen to her and ate the spoiled soup. She told Lily that she needed to be more tidy and listen to her parents. From that day on, Lily always listened to her parents and made sure to check her soup before eating it. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy loved music and wanted to play the flute. But Timmy didn't have a flute. His friend, Sarah, had a flute, but she didn't use it anymore. Timmy asked Sarah if he could borrow her flute. Sarah was happy to lend her flute to Timmy. + +Timmy was so excited to play the flute. He practiced every day. One day, he went to play the flute outside, but it fell in the mud. The flute was filthy! Timmy was sad because he didn't want to return the filthy flute to Sarah. He decided to clean the flute before returning it. + +Timmy used soap and water to clean the flute. It took a long time, but finally, the flute was clean and shiny again. Sarah was happy to see her flute back in good condition. Timmy was happy too because he got to play the flute and learned that it's important to take care of things you borrow from others. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the warm sunshine. One day, she saw a mosquito buzzing around her head. "Go away, mosquito!" she said. + +The mosquito didn't listen and kept flying around her. Lily started to get annoyed. "Hurry up and leave me alone!" she said. + +Just then, her mom came outside and saw the mosquito. "Don't be ignorant, Lily," her mom said. "Mosquitoes are just trying to find food." + +Lily didn't understand what her mom meant, so her mom explained that mosquitoes need to suck blood to survive. Lily felt bad for getting mad at the mosquito and decided to be friends with it instead. From that day on, Lily and the mosquito played together in the sunshine. +Once upon a time, there was an old man who lived in a small house. He loved to spend his Wednesdays planting flowers in his garden. One day, a little girl named Lily came to his house and accidentally stepped on his flowers. The old man got very angry and scolded the little girl. + +Lily felt very sorry and asked the old man to forgive her. The old man thought for a while and realized that he was being too harsh on the little girl. He forgave her and they became friends. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to forgive others when they make mistakes, especially if they are sorry. Being angry and holding grudges only makes us unhappy. +Once upon a time, there was a big, strong elephant named Ellie. Ellie was very powerful and could lift heavy things with her trunk. One day, Ellie's friend, a little mouse named Mickey, needed to mail a letter to his family. Ellie offered to help him and carried the letter to the mailbox with her trunk. + +After they finished mailing the letter, they decided to have a picnic. Mickey brought some grape juice for them to drink, but Ellie wanted something stronger. She asked Mickey if he had any wine. Mickey didn't know what wine was, so Ellie explained that it was a special drink made from grapes that grown in a special way. + +Mickey was amazed by Ellie's knowledge and thanked her for being such a good friend. They enjoyed their picnic together and promised to always help each other whenever they needed it. +Once upon a time, there was a happy dog named Max. Max loved to wake up early and go for a walk with his owner, Lily. One morning, Lily woke up and said, "Max, let's go for a walk!" Max wagged his tail and barked happily. + +As they walked, Max saw a dirty puddle and jumped right in. Lily said, "Max, you're so dirty! We need to clean you up." Max didn't like baths, but he knew he had to be clean. + +After the bath, Max felt fresh and happy. He barked and ran around, making Lily laugh. "You're such a good dog, Max," she said. Max wagged his tail and licked her face. He was so happy to be clean and loved. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to paint pictures of her family and her pets. One day, her mommy took her to the park to play. While they were there, Lily saw a big plane flying in the sky. She was so eager to see it up close! + +Suddenly, the plane started to get closer and closer. It was going to land at the airport nearby. Lily and her mommy ran to see it. When they got there, Lily saw that the plane was very big and had many colors on it. It looked like someone had painted it with a big brush! + +Lily was so happy to see the plane and she couldn't wait to go home and paint a picture of it. She told her mommy all about it and they went home with big smiles on their faces. From that day on, Lily loved to paint pictures of planes and all the things that made her happy. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play and sing. One day, they find a new book in the library. The book has many pictures and words. The book is about an opera. + +"What is an opera?" Lila asks. + +"An opera is a story with songs," Ben says. "The people in the opera wear costumes and act on a big stage." + +"Can we make an opera?" Lila says. + +"Yes, we can!" Ben says. "We can use our toys and clothes and make up a story." + +They take the book and some toys and clothes to a corner of the library. They look at the pictures and choose their characters. Lila is a princess and Ben is a knight. They use a scarf as a crown and a stick as a sword. They make up a story about a dragon and a castle. + +They sing and act their story. They have fun and make a lot of noise. The other children in the library watch them and clap. The librarian smiles and says, "You have made a very nice opera. You have completed your opera. Well done!" + +Lila and Ben are happy. They bow and say, "Thank you!" They put back the book and the toys and the clothes. They hug and say, "We are good opera makers. We are good friends." +Lily and Tom were jolly squirrels who liked to play in the park. They liked to run, jump, climb and swing on the trees. They also liked to find nuts and hide them in their nests for winter. + +One day, they saw a big pile of nuts under a tree. They ran towards it, excited and hungry. They wanted to eat some nuts and prepare some for later. + +"Look, Lily, so many nuts!" Tom said. "Let's take some and share with our friends." + +"Good idea, Tom," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Maybe someone else left them here." + +They looked around, but they did not see anyone. They thought it was safe to take some nuts. They picked up some nuts and put them in their mouths. They were crunchy and tasty. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. It was a big bear, who was angry and hungry. He had left the nuts there as a trap for other animals. He saw the squirrels and wanted to catch them. + +"Hey, you little thieves!" the bear shouted. "Those are my nuts! Give them back or I will eat you!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the nuts and ran away as fast as they could. They dodged the bear's paws and teeth and climbed up a tree. They hoped the bear would not follow them. + +"Phew, that was close!" Tom said. "Are you okay, Lily?" + +"I'm okay, Tom," Lily said. "But that was not fun. That was a mean bear. He tricked us with his nuts." + +"Yes, he did," Tom said. "But we are smarter than him. We escaped and we still have some nuts in our nests. Let's go back and eat them with our friends." + +"Okay, Tom," Lily said. "But next time, let's be more careful. Not all nuts are good nuts." + +They nodded and hugged each other. Then they jumped from tree to tree, back to their nests. They were still jolly squirrels, but they learned a lesson. They never took nuts from strangers again. +Lila and Max were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had. They found a big box with a lock. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Maybe there are toys or jewels or books," Lila said. + +"Or maybe there are spiders or rats or ghosts," Max said. + +They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They tried to open the box with their hands, but it was too hard. They were sad. + +Then, Lila had an idea. She saw a hammer on the floor. She picked it up and hit the lock with it. Bang! Bang! Bang! The lock broke and the box opened. + +"Wow!" Lila and Max said together. + +Inside the box, there were many things. There were clothes and hats and shoes and bags. They were all made of velvet. Velvet was soft and shiny and pretty. There were also pictures and letters and cards. They were all old and yellow and faded. + +Lila and Max took out the things and tried them on. They felt like they were in a different time. They pretended to be kings and queens and princes and princesses. They had fun. + +Then, Lila found something incredible. It was a necklace with a big blue stone. It sparkled and glowed in the light. Lila put it on and looked at herself in a mirror. + +"I look like a fairy," she said. + +"You do," Max said. "Can I see it?" + +Lila gave him the necklace. He looked at it closely. He realized something. + +"Lila, look," he said. "There is a name on the back of the stone. It says 'Anna'." + +"Anna?" Lila said. "Who is Anna?" + +They looked at each other. They remembered that their grandma's name was Anna. They wondered if the necklace was hers. They wondered if she knew about the box. They wondered if she would tell them a story. + +They ran downstairs with the necklace and the box. They wanted to ask their grandma. They wanted to know more. They wanted to learn. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Sara brings a new toy to Tom's house. It is a big map of the world. It has many colors and shapes. Sara says, "Look, Tom, this is my new toy. It is a map of the world. It shows all the nations. A nation is a place where many people live. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom looks at the map. He sees many nations. He sees red, blue, green, yellow, and more. He thinks the map is very pretty and fun. He says, "Yes, Sara, I want to play with you. The map is very nice. Can you show me the nations?" + +Sara smiles. She points to the map. She says, "This is our nation. It is called Canada. It is very big and cold. It has many trees and animals. This is your nation. It is called India. It is very warm and colorful. It has many people and spices. This is my nation. It is called China. It is very old and rich. It has many mountains and dragons." + +Tom listens to Sara. He learns about the nations. He likes to hear about the different places. He says, "Wow, Sara, you have two nations. That is very cool. I only have one nation. I wish I had two nations like you." + +Sara sees Tom's face. He looks sad and envious. She does not want Tom to be sad and envious. She likes Tom. She says, "Tom, you do not have to be sad and envious. You have one nation, but it is very special and beautiful. I like your nation. I want to visit your nation someday. And you can visit my nations too. We can share our nations. We are friends." + +Tom hears Sara. He feels better. He does not feel sad and envious anymore. He feels happy and grateful. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind and smart. I like your nations too. I want to visit your nations someday. And you can visit my nation too. We can share our nations.

Give it to me." + +Sam and Ben start to pull the bear. They are angry. They do not want to share. + +The bear is old and weak. It has a hole in its belly. When Sam and Ben pull it, the stuffing comes out. The stuffing is brown and smelly. It is rot. + +Sam and Ben drop the bear. They say, "Yuck! This bear is bad. It has rot in it." + +They see a shiny car in the box. It is made of steel. It is new and strong. They both want the car. + +They run to the car and say, "This is my car. I want to play with it." + +They start to fight again. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games, but sometimes they got bored. One day, they saw a big file on their dad's desk. It had many papers and pictures and stickers inside. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Let's peek," Max said. + +They tiptoed to the desk and opened the file. They saw many things that made them curious. They saw a map of a faraway place, a letter from a friend, a photo of a cute animal, and a sticker that said "Best Dad Ever". + +"Wow, this is so cool!" Lily said. + +"Look, a panda!" Max said, pointing to the photo. + +They took out the photo and the sticker and ran back to their room. They put the photo on their wall and the sticker on their bed. They felt very happy and proud. + +But they did not know that their dad was looking for the file. He needed it for his work. He had to show it to his boss and his team. He searched everywhere, but he could not find it. He felt very worried and sad. + +He went to Lily and Max's room and knocked on the door. + +"Hi, kids. Can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked. + +"Sure, dad. Come in," Lily said. + +He entered the room and saw the photo and the sticker on the wall and the bed. He recognized them from his file. He felt very angry and hurt. + +"Kids, did you take these from my file?" he asked. + +Lily and Max looked at each other and nodded. They felt very scared and sorry. + +"Why did you do that?" he asked. + +"We were bored. We wanted to peek. They were so adorable," Lily said. + +"Kids, you should not peek at other people's things. That is rude and wrong. You should ask before you touch. And you should not take what is not yours. That is stealing and bad. You made me very upset and you could have made me lose my job," he said. + +Lily and Max felt very ashamed and guilty. They realized they had made a big mistake. + +"We are so sorry, dad. We did not mean to hurt you. We did not know it was important. We will give them back to you. Please forgive us," they said. + +Dad sighed and hugged them. + +"I forgive you, kids. But you have to promise me that you will never do that again. And you have to apologize to your mom and your teacher and your friends. And you have to do something nice for me to make up for it," he said. + +"We promise, dad. We love you. You are the best dad ever," they said. + +They gave him back the photo and the sticker and helped him put them back in the file. They said sorry to their mom and their teacher and their friends. And they made him a card and a cake to show him how much they appreciated him. + +They learned their lesson and never peeked at other people's things again. They also learned to respect and value their dad's work and love. They became more honest and kind and happy. +Anna and Ben like to create things with their toys. They have blocks, cars, dolls, and animals. They make houses, roads, farms, and zoos.

They stack the blocks high and put a cone on top. They add some wheels and a door. They think it looks like a rocket. + +"Are we ready to go?" Ben asks Anna. + +"Yes, let's go!" Anna says. They get inside the rocket and close the door. They pretend to push some buttons and make some noises. + +"Three, two, one, blast off!" they shout together. They imagine that the rocket flies up in the air and leaves the earth. They look out the window and see the sky. + +"Wow, look at the moon!" Anna says. "It is big and round and bright." + +"And look at the stars!" Ben says. "They are small and shiny and many." + +They are happy to see the moon and the stars. They wonder what else is out there. They see some unknown things that look like rocks or balls or rings. They are curious and excited. + +"Let's measure them!" Anna says. She takes out a ruler and a paper. She tries to measure the unknown things from the window. She writes down some numbers. + +"Let's name them!" Ben says. He takes out a crayon and a paper.

You can read it with me." + +Lily sits on a chair and opens the book. She sees many pictures of yummy things. She tries to read the words. Some words are easy, like egg and milk and sugar. Some words are hard, like vanilla and cinnamon and raisin. Mom helps her read the hard words. + +Lily and mom read the book together. They learn how to make different things. They decide to make a cake. They follow the recipe. They mix the ingredients. They pour the batter. They bake the cake. They decorate the cake. They eat the cake. It is very good. + +Lily is happy. She says, "Mom, I like this book. It is a good book. Can we read it again?" Mom says, "Yes, Lily. We can read it again. And we can make more things. Reading is fun. And so is baking." They hug and smile. +Lily and Ben went to the toy store with Mom. They saw many toys that they liked. They wanted to buy one, but Mom said they had to look at the price. The price was how much money they had to give for the toy. + +Lily saw a doll that she liked. It had a pink dress and long hair. She looked at the price. It was ten coins.

She did not have enough money for the doll. The cashier saw her sad face and said, "Wait a minute. I have something for you." She reached under the counter and took out a small box. She opened it and showed Lily a necklace. It had a heart pendant and a shiny chain. Lily gasped. She recognized the necklace. It was the same one that Mom had. She loved Mom's necklace. + +The cashier said, "This is a special necklace. It was my daughter's, but she gave it to me. She said I could give it to someone who would love it. I think you would love it, Lily. Do you want it?" + +Lily nodded. She could not believe it. The cashier gave her the necklace and helped her put it on. Lily looked at herself in the mirror. She felt happy. She hugged the cashier and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +The cashier said, "You're welcome, sweetie. You're a very lucky girl. You have a nice brother, a nice mom, and a nice necklace. And you know what? The necklace was free. It had no price. It was a gift." + +Lily smiled. She looked at Ben and Mom. They smiled too. They were happy for Lily. They thanked the cashier and left the toy store. Lily felt the necklace on her neck. She felt loved. She said, "This is the best day ever!" +Lily was a little girl who liked to dream. She dreamed of being a doctor, a teacher, a dancer, and many other things.

Her mom hugged her and said, "What happened, sweetie?" + +Lily told her mom what the kids said. Her mom said, "Don't listen to them, Lily. They are not nice. Your hat is beautiful and special. It is your dream hat. You can be anything you want with your hat. You are a successful girl." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you and I love my hat. I will keep dreaming and trying new things." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. And I am proud of you. You are brave and kind. That is what makes you successful." + +Lily and her mom went home and had a nice dinner. Lily put her hat on her bed and said good night to it. She closed her eyes and dreamed of her next adventure. + +The moral value of the story is: Be yourself and follow your dreams. Don't let others make you feel bad about yourself. You are successful when you are brave and kind. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hat on a bench.

You cannot take Lily's doll without asking. And Lily, you can let Ben play with your doll sometimes. She is not ordinary, she is special because she is yours," Mom said. + +She took the doll from them and saw that her hair was messy and her dress was torn. She got some tape from the drawer and fixed the doll. + +"Here, Lily. Your doll is okay now. You can carry her again. And Ben, you can play with her too, if you are gentle and nice," Mom said. + +She gave the doll back to Lily and hugged them both. + +"Thank you, Mom. We love you," Lily and Ben said. + +They decided to play together with the doll and the truck. They learned to share and be kind. Mom smiled and watched them. She was proud of them. +Sara liked music. She liked to sing and dance and play with her toy drum. She had a big music show at her school. She wanted to wear her orange dress. It was her favorite dress. It had flowers and ribbons and sparkles. + +But when she tried to put on her orange dress, it did not fit. It was too small. She could not zip it up. She felt sad and angry. She did not want to wear another dress. She wanted to wear her orange dress. + +She ran to her mom and cried. "Mom, my orange dress does not fit! I can't wear it for the music show! What can I do?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Sara. I have a surprise for you. Come with me." She took her to her room and opened a box. Inside the box was a new dress. It was also orange. But it was bigger and brighter and had more flowers and ribbons and sparkles. + +"Wow!" Sara said. "It's beautiful! Is it for me?" + +"Yes, it is. I made it for you. I knew your old dress was too small. I wanted you to have a new dress for your music show. Do you like it?" + +Sara nodded and smiled. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love it. It's the best dress ever. Can I try it on?" + +"Of course. Let's see if it fits." Her mom helped her put on the new dress. It fit perfectly. It was not too tight or too loose. It was just right. Sara twirled and jumped and clapped. She felt happy and excited. She could not wait to wear her new dress for the music show. + +She said, "Mom, you are the best. I can't wait to show everyone my new dress. I'm going to sing and dance and play with my toy drum. I'm going to have so much fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +Her mom kissed her and said, "You're welcome, Sara. I'm proud of you. You're going to do great. I love you." + +They hugged and went to the car. They drove to the school. Sara was ready for her music show. She had her new orange dress. She had her toy drum. She had her mom. She had everything she needed. She was happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they see a big box of post on the street. The box has many letters and cards and pictures. + +"Look, Ben, post!" Anna says. "Maybe there is something for us." + +They run to the box and open it. They find many things inside. They see a card with a cake and candles. They see a letter with a stamp and a sticker. They see a picture with a dog and a ball. + +"Wow, Anna, these are nice!" Ben says. "Let's take some." + +He grabs the card and the letter and the picture. He puts them in his pocket. Anna looks at him. She feels sad. + +"Ben, no, that is bad!" Anna says. "The post is not for us. The post is for other people. They will be happy to get the post. We should not take it. We should put it back." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not listen to Anna. He thinks the post is cheap and he can have it. + +"Anna, no, that is good!" Ben says. "The post is for us. We will be happy to have the post. We should not put it back. We should keep it." + +He runs away with the post. Anna follows him. She tries to speak to him. She wants him to do the right thing. + +They run and run until they see a man. The man is wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He has a bag on his shoulder. He is the postman. He sees Ben and Anna. He sees the post in Ben's pocket. He is angry. + +"Hey, you, stop!" the postman says. "What are you doing with the post? The post is not for you. The post is for other people. You should not take it. You should give it back." + +He runs to Ben and Anna. He takes the post from Ben's pocket. He puts it in his bag. He looks at Ben. He is not happy. + +"Ben, you are bad!" the postman says. "You should not steal the post. You should be sorry. You should say sorry." + +Ben feels scared. He feels sorry. He speaks to the postman. + +"Postman, I am sorry!" Ben says. "I should not steal the post. I should be good. I should listen to Anna. She is my friend. She knows the right thing." + +The postman nods. He speaks to Ben. + +"Ben, I am glad you are sorry!" the postman says. "You should not do it again. You should be good. You should listen to Anna. She is your friend. She knows the right thing." + +He looks at Anna. He smiles. He speaks to Anna. + +"Anna, you are good!" the postman says. "You should be proud. You did the right thing. You did not take the post. You tried to put it back. You tried to speak to Ben. You are a good friend." + +He gives Anna a sticker. It has a star and a smile. Anna smiles. She thanks the postman. She speaks to Ben. + +"Ben, I am happy you are sorry!" Anna says. "You should be good. You should listen to me. I am your friend. I want you to be happy." + +She gives Ben a hug. Ben hugs her back. He speaks to Anna. + +"Anna, I am happy you are my friend!" Ben says. "You should be proud. You did the right thing. You did not take the post. You tried to put it back. You tried to speak to me. You are a good friend." + +They walk home together. They are friends. They learned a lesson. They learned that the post is not cheap. They learned that the post is important. They learned that the post is for other people. They learned that they should not take it. They learned that they should give it back. They learned that they should be good. They learned that they should listen to each other. They learned that they are good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to open and close the cabinet doors and look for things inside. Sometimes they found spoons, cups, or boxes. Sometimes they found nothing. + +One day, Lily had an idea. She wanted to joke with Ben. She hid inside a big cabinet and waited for him to come. She heard him open and close the other doors. He was looking for her. + +"Where is Lily?" Ben asked. He could not see her. He opened the last door. Lily jumped out and shouted, "Boo!" + +Ben was surprised. He screamed and fell back. Then he saw Lily laughing. He realized she was joking. He laughed too. He was not scared anymore. + +They hugged and said sorry. They were still friends. They decided to play something else. They went to the living room. There was a bright sun outside. They wanted to go out and have more fun. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to go on walks with Mom and Dad. They see many things on the walk. They see birds, flowers, rocks, and bugs. + +One day, they find a trail of crumbs on the ground. Sam and Ben are curious. They want to know where the crumbs come from. They follow the trail. They hope to find something yummy at the end. + +But the trail leads them to a big, scary dog. The dog is guarding a plate of cookies. The dog barks and growls at Sam and Ben. Sam and Ben are afraid. They want to run away. But they also want the cookies. + +Sam has an idea. He picks up a stick. He throws the stick far away. The dog sees the stick. The dog likes to play. The dog runs after the stick. Sam and Ben see their chance. They grab some cookies from the plate. They run back to Mom and Dad. + +Sam and Ben are happy. They taste the cookies. The cookies are sweet and soft. They share the cookies with Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad are proud. They say Sam and Ben are smart and brave. Sam and Ben are successful. They smile and hug. They love their family. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big bowl of yogurt and some colorful fruits. They cut the fruits into small pieces and put them on top of the yogurt. + +"Look, Ben, I made a rainbow yogurt!" Lily said, showing her bowl to her brother. "It has red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple!" + +"Wow, that looks so good, Lily!" Ben said, admiring her work. "Can I have some?" + +"Sure, Ben, you can have some. But first, you have to guess what fruits I used. If you guess right, you can reveal the fruit and eat it. If you guess wrong, you have to wait until the end. Okay?" + +"Okay, Lily, that sounds fun. Let me see. Is the red one a strawberry?" + +"Yes, Ben, you are right! You can reveal the strawberry and eat it. Yum!" + +"Is the orange one a carrot?" + +"No, Ben, that is not a carrot. Carrots are not fruits. You have to wait until the end. Try again." + +"Is the yellow one a banana?" + +"Yes, Ben, you are right again! You can reveal the banana and eat it. Yum!" + +They continued to play the guessing game until they revealed all the fruits and ate the yogurt. They had a lot of fun and enjoyed their rainbow yogurt. They were happy and full. They cleaned up the kitchen and thanked their mom for letting them play. They hugged each other and said, "We love yogurt and we love each other!" +Sara and Ben like to play dress up. They have many clothes and hats and shoes in a big box. They take out the clothes and try them on. They make funny faces and noises. They pretend to be different people and animals. + +One day, they decide to put on a show for their mom and dad. They make a stage with a strip of cloth and some chairs. They choose their costumes and practice their acts. Sara wants to be a princess and Ben wants to be a lion. + +They call their mom and dad to watch. Mom and dad sit on the sofa and clap their hands. Sara and Ben come out from behind the cloth. Sara wears a pink dress and a crown. She sings a song about flowers and stars. Ben wears a brown coat and a mane. He roars and jumps around. Mom and dad applaud and cheer. + +Sara and Ben are very happy. They bow and smile. They say thank you to their mom and dad. They hug and kiss them. They go back to the box to change their clothes. + +But they forget to put the clothes back in the box. They leave them on the floor and on the chairs. The room is very messy. Mom and dad are not happy. They tell Sara and Ben to clean up. Sara and Ben say sorry. They pick up the clothes and put them in the box. They help mom and dad to tidy the room. They promise to be more careful next time. Mom and dad say they love them. They say they are proud of their show. They hug and kiss them again. They say good night. Sara and Ben go to bed. They dream of their show. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big bear in the trees. The bear was wild and hungry. It growled and showed its teeth. + +"Mom, look, a bear!" Lily shouted. + +"Shh, don't make noise. We have to be quiet and walk away slowly," mom said. + +But Ben was not afraid. He wanted to talk to the bear. He said, "Hello, bear. Do you want to play with us?" + +The bear heard Ben and came closer. It sniffed Ben and licked his face. Ben laughed and hugged the bear. + +"Ben, no, that's dangerous. The bear might hurt you," mom said. + +But the bear did not hurt Ben. It was lonely and liked Ben. It replied, "Roar, roar. I want to play with you. You are nice and soft." + +Lily and mom were surprised. They saw that the bear was friendly and gentle. They joined Ben and the bear. They played and had fun. The bear was happy and so were they. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to eat cereal for breakfast. But today, they have a problem. The cereal box is empty. + +"Mom, we have no cereal!" Lily shouts. + +Mom is in the bathroom. She hears Lily and Ben. She worries. She knows they are hungry. + +"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Mom says. She runs to the kitchen. She sees the empty box. She thinks fast. + +"Look, I have something else for you. How about some toast and jam?" Mom says. She smiles. + +Lily and Ben look at the toast and jam. They are not sure. They like cereal better. + +"Can we have cereal tomorrow?" Ben asks. + +"Of course, we can. I will buy more cereal today. I'm sorry, I forgot to check the box." Mom says. She hugs them. + +Lily and Ben nod. They decide to try the toast and jam. They take a bite. They are surprised. It is yummy. + +"Mom, this is good!" Lily says. + +"Yeah, it is!" Ben agrees. + +Mom is happy. She is not worried anymore. She joins them for breakfast. They eat and talk. They are a happy family. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with trucks and cars. One day, they find a big hill in the park. They want to see who can drive their truck up the hill faster. + +Tom has a red truck. It is big and heavy. Sam has a blue truck. It is small and light. They put their trucks at the bottom of the hill and say "Ready, set, go!" + +Tom's truck is strong, but it weighs too much. It goes up the hill slowly. Sam's truck is weak, but it weighs less. It goes up the hill quickly. Sam reaches the top of the hill first and says "I win!" + +Tom is sad. He likes his red truck, but it is not useful for going up hills. He says "Your truck is better than mine." + +Sam is kind. He says "No, your truck is good too. It can carry more things than mine. Let's share our trucks and play together." + +Tom smiles. He says "OK, let's do that. You can use my red truck to bring some rocks and sticks, and I can use your blue truck to go up and down the hill." + +They share their trucks and have fun. They are good friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. They take turns to show each other a card and say its name. + +Anna shows Ben a card with a red bird. She says, "This is a cardinal. It is red and has a crest." Ben nods and says, "I like cardinals. They are pretty and sing nice." + +Ben shows Anna a card with a yellow flower. He says, "This is a sunflower. It is yellow and has many seeds." Anna smiles and says, "I like sunflowers. They are bright and big." + +They show each other more cards and have fun. But then, they see a boy named Tom. Tom is older and bigger than them. He is not nice. He likes to take things from other kids. He sees Anna and Ben's cards and walks over to them. + +"Hey, what are you playing with?" he asks in a harsh voice. He grabs a card from Ben's hand. It is a card with a green frog. He says, "This is a frog. It is green and slimy." He makes a face and throws the card on the ground. He laughs and says, "Your cards are silly and boring. I have better cards. Look!" + +He shows them a card with a scary monster. It has big teeth and claws. It is purple and black. He says, "This is a dragon. It is purple and black and can breathe fire. It can eat frogs and birds and flowers. It is the best card ever. You are scared of it, right?" + +Anna and Ben are scared of Tom and his card. They want their cards back. They say, "No, we are not scared. Your card is mean and ugly. We like our cards. They are nice and beautiful. Give them back to us!" + +Tom laughs and says, "No, I will not give them back. They are mine now. You can have this card." He throws the monster card at them and runs away with their cards. + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They pick up the monster card and the frog card. They look at each other and say, "We don't want this card. We want our cards. Let's go after him and get them back. We are friends and we can do it." They hold hands and run after Tom. They are brave and smart. They will not let Tom take their cards. They will show him that their cards are better. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They saw a big sausage on the table. They both wanted to eat it. + +"Give me the sausage!" Lily said. + +"No, it is mine!" Tom said. + +They both pulled the sausage. They pulled and pulled. The sausage was very stretchy. It became longer and longer. + +"Stop pulling!" Mom said. She came into the kitchen. She saw the sausage. It was very thin and long. It looked like a rope. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. She was not happy. + +"We wanted the sausage!" Lily and Tom said. + +"But you cannot have it. It is not for you. It is for the dog. It is a dog sausage. It is not good for you." Mom said. + +Lily and Tom felt silly. They did not know it was a dog sausage. They let go of the sausage. It snapped back. It hit them on the face. It hurt. + +"Ow!" Lily and Tom said. + +They rubbed their faces. They were sorry. + +"Sorry, Mom." Lily and Tom said. + +Mom hugged them. She gave them a clear glass of water and a slice of bread. + +"Next time, ask before you take something. And share with each other. Then you will not get hurt." Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They drank the water and ate the bread. They were not hungry anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Sam were going to the park with their mom. They liked the park because it had swings, slides and a big sandbox. They also liked to see the ducks and the squirrels that lived there. + +When they got to the park, they saw something unusual. There was a big truck with a long metal stick on it. The truck was near the sandbox, and there were some people wearing yellow hats and vests. They were holding a tape measure and a clipboard. + +"What are they doing, mom?" Lily asked. + +"They are measuring the sandbox, sweetie. They want to make it bigger and better for the children. They need to know how much sand and wood they need," mom explained. + +"Can we help them, mom?" Sam asked. + +"No, honey, they are doing a very important job. We have to stay away from the truck and the metal stick. It can be dangerous. We can watch them from here, or we can play on the swings or the slides," mom said. + +Lily and Sam decided to watch them for a while. They were curious about the truck and the metal stick. They wondered how it worked and what it could do. They also wondered how big the new sandbox would be. + +They hoped it would be ready soon, so they could play in it with their friends. They thought it would be fun to make sand castles and dig holes. They also hoped the ducks and the squirrels would like it too. They liked to share the park with them. +Mia and Leo were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big basket of prunes on the table. Prunes were sweet and soft fruits that they loved to eat. + +"Let's have some prunes!" Mia said. + +"OK, but we have to ask Mom first," Leo said. + +They ran to the kitchen, where Mom was busy cooking. "Mom, can we have some prunes?" they asked. + +"Yes, you can, but only one each. The rest are for Grandma, who is coming to visit later. She is very old and needs to eat healthy food. And don't forget to wash your hands before you eat," Mom said. + +Mia and Leo nodded and ran back to the table. They each took a prune and washed their hands. They bit into the juicy fruits and smiled. + +"These are so good!" Mia said. + +"I want another one," Leo said. + +"But Mom said only one each," Mia said. + +"Mom won't notice. There are so many prunes in the basket. Come on, just one more," Leo said. + +He reached for another prune, but Mia stopped him. "No, Leo, that's not fair. We have to share with Grandma. She will be sad if there are no prunes left for her," Mia said. + +Leo frowned. He wanted another prune, but he also loved Grandma. He looked at the basket and had an idea. He grabbed a handful of prunes and ran to the shed. He hid the prunes under a pile of old clothes and ran back to the table. + +"Where did you go?" Mia asked. + +"I just went to the bathroom," Leo lied. + +Mia did not believe him. She saw his mouth was purple from the prunes. She was angry and hurt. She decided to tell Mom what Leo did. + +She ran to the kitchen, but Mom was not there. She saw a note on the fridge. It said: "I went to the store to buy some milk. I'll be back soon. Love, Mom." + +Mia did not know what to do. She wanted to tell Mom, but she also did not want to get Leo in trouble. She felt confused and sad. + +She went back to the table and saw that the basket was empty. All the prunes were gone. She gasped. Where did they go? + +She heard a loud scream from the shed. It was Leo. She ran to the shed and opened the door. She saw Leo on the floor, surrounded by prunes. He was crying and holding his tummy. + +"Mia, help me! I ate too many prunes and now I feel sick. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" he sobbed. + +Mia felt sorry for Leo. She saw that he was in pain and regretted what he did. She hugged him and said: "It's OK, Leo. I forgive you. But you have to learn to be honest and generous. Prunes are good, but too many can make you sick. And Grandma deserves some too. She loves us and we love her." + +Leo nodded. He realized that he was selfish and greedy. He wished he could make the prunes vanish. He said: "You're right, Mia. I'm sorry. I love you and Grandma. Can you help me put the prunes back in the basket?" + +Mia smiled. She said: "Of course, Leo. Let's do it together. And then we can wait for Mom and Grandma and tell them the truth. Maybe they will still let us have one more prune each, if we say sorry and promise to be good." + +They picked up the prunes and put them back in the basket. They carried the basket to the table and waited for Mom and Grandma. They felt better and hoped that they would still love them. + +The moral of the story is: Honesty and generosity are better than selfishness and greed. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big metal slide. It is very high and shiny. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Tom is scared. + +"Come on, Tom, let's go on the slide!" Lily says. "It will be fun!" + +"No, Lily, it is too high. I don't want to go." Tom says. He holds Lily's hand. + +Lily looks at Tom. She sees that he is sad. She thinks of an idea. + +"Tom, listen to me. We can go on the slide together. I will hold your hand and we will go slowly. It will not be scary. It will be fun!" Lily says. + +Tom listens to Lily. He thinks for a moment. He nods his head. + +"Okay, Lily, we can try. But you have to hold my hand." Tom says. + +Lily smiles. She holds Tom's hand. They walk to the slide. They climb the steps. They sit on the slide. They look down. It is very high. + +"Are you ready, Tom?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, Lily, I am ready." Tom says. + +They slide down. They feel the wind in their hair. They hear the metal make a noise. They laugh. They reach the bottom. They are happy. + +"Wow, Lily, that was fun!" Tom says. + +"I told you, Tom, it was fun!" Lily says. + +They hug each other. They go on the slide again. And again. And again. They have a lot of fun. +Sara and Tom were going on a trip with their mum and dad. They had to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Sara was very happy. She liked to fly on the aeroplane and see new places. She packed her favourite doll and her colouring book. + +Tom was not happy. He did not like to fly on the aeroplane. He was scared of the loud noise and the high sky. He did not want to pack his bag. He wanted to stay at home with his grandma and his dog. He was envious of Sara. He thought she always got the best things. + +"Come on, Tom, hurry up and pack your bag. We have to leave soon," mum said. + +"I don't want to go. I don't like the aeroplane. I want to stay with grandma and Spot," Tom said. + +"Don't be silly, Tom. The aeroplane is fun. You will see the clouds and the birds. And we will go to the beach and the zoo. You will love it," Sara said. + +"No, I won't. You always love everything. You are so lucky. I hate you," Tom said. He threw his bag on the floor and ran to his room. + +Mum and dad were very angry. They went to Tom's room and tried to calm him down. They told him he had to go with them and he had to be nice to Sara. They said they loved him and they wanted him to have fun. + +But Tom did not listen. He shouted and cried and kicked. He did not want to go. He did not want to have fun. He did not want to love anyone. + +So mum and dad had to make a hard choice. They decided to leave Tom with grandma and Spot. They took Sara and their bags and went to the aeroplane. They said goodbye to Tom and told him they would come back soon. + +Tom watched them go. He felt sad and lonely. He wished he had packed his bag and gone with them. He wished he had been nice to Sara and loved her. He wished he had not been envious and angry. He wished he had been happy. But it was too late. He had made a bad choice. And he had to live with it. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. But today, they are very bored. Mama and Papa are at work. Nana is watching them at home. Nana is very old and lazy. She only wants to sit and knit. + +"Let's do something fun," Sara says to Ben. "Let's make a surprise for Mama and Papa." + +"What kind of surprise?" Ben asks. + +"Let's clean the home," Sara says. "Mama and Papa will be happy when they see it." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He does not like to clean. But he likes to make Mama and Papa happy. He nods and says, "OK, let's do it." + +Sara and Ben get the broom, the dustpan, the mop, and the cloth. They start to clean the home. They sweep the floor, wipe the table, wash the dishes, and tidy the toys. They work hard and fast. Nana does not notice them. She is busy knitting. + +Soon, the home is very clean and shiny. Sara and Ben are very proud. They put a big sign on the door that says, "Surprise! We love you!" They hide behind the sofa and wait for Mama and Papa. + +Mama and Papa come home from work. They are tired and hungry. They open the door and see the sign. They are very surprised. They walk in and see the clean home. They are very happy. They hear giggles behind the sofa. They look and see Sara and Ben. + +"Sara! Ben! What a wonderful surprise!" Mama says. "You cleaned the home for us! How sweet of you!" + +"We wanted to make you happy," Sara says. + +"We love you, Mama and Papa," Ben says. + +Mama and Papa hug Sara and Ben. They thank them for the surprise. They tell them they are very good and smart. They give them kisses and cookies. Sara and Ben smile and eat the cookies. They are very happy too. + +Nana wakes up from her nap. She sees the clean home and the happy family. She is very surprised too. She smiles and says, "What a nice surprise!" +One day, Lily and Sam went to the park with their mom. They saw a big swing that looked like a ship. Lily said, "Let's play pirates on the swing!" Sam nodded and they ran to the swing. + +They climbed on the swing and pretended to be pirates. Lily wore a hat and Sam wore a scarf. They said, "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!" and "Shiver me timbers!" They swung back and forth and had fun. + +But then, they saw a boy with a blue shirt and a blue bike. He came to the swing and said, "This is my swing. You have to get off." Lily and Sam did not like the boy. He was mean and rude. + +Lily said, "No, this is our swing. We are pirates and this is our ship. You can't have it." Sam said, "Yeah, go away. You are not a pirate. You are a blue meanie." + +The boy got angry and tried to push them off the swing. But Lily and Sam held on tight and swung harder. They said, "We are not afraid of you. You are a silly blue meanie. You can't catch us." + +The boy gave up and rode away on his bike. He was sad and mad. Lily and Sam cheered and hugged. They said, "We are the best pirates ever. We beat the blue meanie. Hooray!" They swung some more and smiled. They had a great day. +Lily liked to play with her toy parrot. She named it Polly and gave it hugs and kisses. She taught it to say "I love you" and "hello". She took it everywhere with her, even to bed. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily brought Polly with her and put it on a swing. She pushed it gently and sang to it. She was very happy. + +But then, a big boy came and saw Polly. He wanted to play with it too. He ran to the swing and grabbed Polly from Lily. He said "This is mine now!" + +Lily was very sad and angry. She shouted "No! Give it back! That's my Polly!" She tried to get Polly back, but the boy was stronger and faster. He ran away with Polly. + +Lily ran after him, but she could not catch him. She saw him throw Polly into a trash can. She heard Polly say "I love you" and "hello" in a sad voice. She cried and cried. + +She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said "I'm sorry, sweetie. That was a very mean boy. He should not have done that. Let's go and get Polly out of the trash can." + +But when they got to the trash can, they saw that a big dog had already found Polly. The dog bit Polly and tore it apart. It spit out the feathers and the plastic. It made a sour face and barked. + +Lily and her mom were shocked and horrified. They could not believe what they saw. Lily cried and cried. She said "Polly, Polly, I love you. I'm sorry, Polly." Her mom cried too. She said "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm so sorry." + +They went home, but Lily could not stop crying. She missed Polly so much. She wished she could hug it and kiss it and hear it say "I love you" and "hello" again. But she knew she could not. Polly was gone forever. Lily was very sad. She had a very bad day. +Tom and Amy are brother and sister. They like to play hide and seek in the house. One day, they decide to play in the basement, where there are many boxes and things to hide behind. + +Tom says, "I will count to ten and you hide. Then I will find you." Amy nods and runs to find a good spot. She sees a big closet with a door. She thinks, "This is a perfect place to hide. Tom will never find me here." She opens the door and goes inside. She closes the door and sits on the floor. She is very quiet. + +Tom finishes counting and says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He starts to look for Amy. He looks behind the boxes, under the table, in the laundry basket, but he cannot find her. He thinks, "Where is Amy? She is very good at hiding." He walks around the basement and sees the closet. He thinks, "Maybe she is in there." He goes to the closet and tries to open the door. But the door is locked. He says, "Amy, are you in there?

She wiped her tears and looked at the dog and its owner. She said, "I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know you didn't want to kill Bunny. I forgive you. But please be careful next time.
