He made it halfway up before he twisted his ankle and fell. + +John screamed with pain. + +John: "Ow! I'm stuck! Help!" + +But nobody heard him. He tried to move, but it was too painful.

The children didn't understand his question, so their mother said, "Try to smile and be happy with what we have." + +So the family did their best to be happy and grateful with their small, empty house. But the father still felt sad and said, "we should work hard to have our own big house." + +The family worked hard every day and one day they finally saved enough money to move into a big house.

Why did you do that?" + +His friend shrugged and said, "I guess I was just feeling a little hungry." + +They both had a good laugh and went back to playing, not making any more foolish decisions. +One day, there was a teacher and three little children in a classroom. They were all gathered in front of the blackboard, and the teacher was about to teach them something. + +Suddenly, the teacher saw one of the children sneaking out of the room. The teacher was surprised and asked, "Where are you going, little one?" + +The child replied, "I'm going to steal something!" The other children cheered, but the teacher was very angry. + +He said, "That is a very bad thing to do! It is ignorant to steal. Do you understand?" + +The children said nothing, so the teacher sighed and said, "Let this be a lesson to all of you. Do not steal or you will suffer the consequences." + +The children nodded, and the teacher was happy that they finally understood. + +From that day onwards, the children have remembered the teacher's words and never attempted to steal again.

Just then, his mom arrived and she said, “Jack, I am so glad that you found something so nice, but I want you to guess what I think you should do with it?†+ +Jack thought for a moment and he finally said, “Maybe I should give it to someone who needs it more than I do?†His mom smiled and nodded her head. Together, they found someone who needed a watch more than Jack and he happily donated it. + +The moral of the story is that it is better to use our belongings to help others rather than keeping them for ourselves. +One day, Sue was playing in her bedroom.

Amy was scared and quickly ran away. + +Back at her house, her grandmother noticed how scared she looked. Amy told her about the smoke she saw. Her grandmother was a very wise woman, so she said: + +"That is nothing to be afraid of, Amy. That smoke is from the chimney of a small cottage, where someone lives. They are just cooking and having a nice dinner. We can go over there and say 'hello' if you would like". + +Amy was so happy to think of meeting someone new, so they went over to the cottage.

Everyone around them was scared but the old man stayed calm and asked the boy in a gentle voice "What are you doing with such a dangerous thing?". + +The boy nervously told him that his father used to hit his mother when he was mad and that he was going to protect her by scaring away his father. + +The old man looked kindly at the boy and said "No one should have to live in fear of someone they love. You can try to be brave, but don't rely on a gun. Praying may not always save the day, but talking with someone can help you find an answer". + +The old man's words of wisdom stuck with the boy and instead of using his pistol to scare away his father, he talked to his mom about making a plan to protect her. + +The moral of the story is to talk with someone, instead of relying on violence, when trying to come up with a solution to a problem. +Mia and Mommy played in the park on a sunny day.

Rose was so happy to be there and ran around exploring. + +After a while, Rose saw something shiny shining out of a thick bush. She peeked inside and saw a golden watch! Rose was so excited and wanted to keep it but it was way too expensive. + +Rose sadly looked at her magical pink pen and wished she could make the watch cheaper. Suddenly, she heard a soft voice.. + +"No need to worry, Rose. You can make this watch yours," the voice said. + +Rose was surprised and looked around, but she saw no one.

He flew straight to his friend Sarah's house. + +Tom landed at Sarah's front door and knocked eagerly. Sarah smiled when she saw Tom and said, "I know why you're here!

She ran back to her house and stepped inside. + +"Mama, look what I found," said Sarah, proud of her discovery. Her mom smiled and told her she could use the folder for her upcoming birthday party. + +Sarah was excited and ran back to the park to thank the folder for such a great surprise.

Ben was struggling, but Cal was very fast. + +Suddenly, Cal got angry. He said, "You're not matching up the pieces as quickly as me. I'm going to win this game!" + +Ben saw that Cal was angry and upset, and stopped playing. He said, "Cal, we're friends. Winning isn't the most important thing. We have to have fun together." + +Cal realised Ben was right. Being angry doesn't create any fun.

Anna said, pointing at the pool. + +"That's right, Anna, it's having fun," Mom said, smiling. + +"Can I touch the otter, Dad?" Ben asked, trying to reach the fence. + +"No, Ben, you can't touch the otter. It's not a pet, it's a wild animal. It might bite you or scratch you," Dad said, holding Ben's hand. + +"But I want to touch the otter. It looks soft and cute," Ben said, pouting. + +"Maybe you can touch a toy otter at the gift shop, Ben. But not the real otter. It needs its space and privacy," Dad said, gently. + +"OK, Dad, I understand," Ben said, nodding. + +They watched the otter for a while longer, then moved on to see other animals. Anna and Ben learned a lot about the zoo, and had a fun day with Mom and Dad. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was the doctor set. They pretended to be doctors and nurses and help sick animals and dolls. They had a big box that they called the operation table. They put their toys on the box and used the tools from the doctor set to fix them. + +One day, they found an old teddy bear in the attic. It was very dirty and had a hole in its tummy. Tom said, "This teddy bear needs an operation. Let's take it to the operation table." Lily said, "OK, but be careful. It looks very ancient. Maybe it is a magic teddy bear." + +They took the teddy bear to the operation table and put it on the box. Tom picked up a pair of scissors and said, "I will cut the hole and take out the bad stuff." Lily said, "No, don't do that. You will hurt the teddy bear. Maybe it has a secret inside." Tom said, "Don't be silly. It's just a toy. I know what I'm doing." + +He cut the hole bigger and reached inside. He felt something hard and pulled it out. It was a shiny metal key. He said, "Wow, look at this. What is it for?" Lily said, "I told you it was a magic teddy bear. Maybe the key opens something special. Let's go and find out." + +They left the teddy bear on the operation table and ran to the attic. They looked around and saw a big wooden chest. It had a lock that matched the key. Tom said, "Maybe this is the treasure of the teddy bear. Let's open it." Lily said, "OK, but be careful. Maybe there is a trap or a monster inside." + +They put the key in the lock and turned it. The chest opened with a loud creak. They looked inside and saw a lot of old books, clothes, and toys. They said, "Wow, this is amazing. Look at all these things. They must belong to someone who lived here a long time ago." + +They started to take out the things and look at them. They found a picture of a boy and a girl holding the teddy bear. They looked like Tom and Lily. They said, "Wow, this is weird. They look like us. Maybe they are our family. Maybe they left the teddy bear and the key for us to find." + +They heard a voice behind them. It was their mom. She said, "What are you doing here? This is the attic. It's not safe for you to play here. Come down right now." They said, "But mom, look what we found. It's a magic teddy bear and a treasure chest. They have a story to tell us." + +Mom said, "Stop, stop, stop. That's not a magic teddy bear. That's my old teddy bear. And that's not a treasure chest. That's my old stuff. I put them here when I was a kid. They have no story to tell you. They are just old and dusty. Come on, let's go and clean up the mess you made on the operation table." She took the key from Tom and closed the chest. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They wanted to know more about the teddy bear and the chest. They wanted to play with the old things. They wanted to hear the story. They said, "But mom, please, can we keep them? Can we play with them? Can we hear the story?" + +Mom said, "No, no, no. You have enough toys. You don't need these. They are too ancient for you. Maybe when you are older, I will tell you the story. But for now, let's go and have some lunch. You must be hungry after your operation." She took them by the hand and led them downstairs. + +Tom and Lily looked back at the attic. They wondered what the story was. They wondered if the teddy bear and the chest were really magic. They wondered if they would ever see them again. They said, "Bye, bye, teddy bear. Bye, bye, chest. Maybe we will meet again someday." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. They also liked to pretend they were cooking and serving food. + +"Would you like some tea, sir?" Lily asked Tom, holding a plastic cup. + +"Yes, please, madam," Tom said, taking the cup. "And some cake, too." + +Lily gave him a slice of mud cake. They both pretended to eat and drink. + +"Can we play inside now?" Tom asked. "It is cold out here." + +Lily nodded. "Yes, let's go. Maybe we can play with the iron." + +The iron was a toy that Lily got for her birthday. It looked like a real iron, but it did not get hot. It had a button that made a hissing sound. + +They ran inside the house and went to Lily's room. They found some clothes and a board. They put the clothes on the board and pretended to iron them. + +"Be careful, Tom," Lily said. "The iron is hot. You have to blow on it first." + +Tom did as she said. He blew on the iron and then pressed it on a shirt. He liked the hissing sound. + +"Look, Lily, I am ironing like Mommy," he said. + +Lily smiled. "You are doing a good job, Tom. Can I try, too?" + +Tom nodded. He gave her the iron and took another shirt. They took turns ironing the clothes. + +They were having so much fun that they did not hear Mommy calling them. + +"Tom, Lily, time for lunch!" Mommy said. + +She came to Lily's room and saw them playing with the iron. + +"What are you doing, my little helpers?" she asked. + +"We are ironing, Mommy," Lily said. "We made tea and cake, too." + +Mommy smiled. "That's very nice of you. But you know you are not allowed to play with the real iron, right?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. "Yes, Mommy, we know. This is a toy iron. It is not hot. It is cold." + +Mommy touched the iron and felt that it was cold. She was relieved. + +"That's good, my darlings. But you still have to be careful. The real iron can burn you. And you have to ask me before you play with it, okay?" + +Lily and Tom nodded again. "Okay, Mommy, we will." + +Mommy hugged them and kissed them. "I love you, my little helpers. Now, come on, let's have some real lunch. I made soup and sandwiches for you." + +Lily and Tom followed Mommy to the kitchen. They left the iron and the clothes in Lily's room. They decided to play with them again later. They liked to pretend they were grown-ups. But they also liked to listen to Mommy. She always allowed them to have fun. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They waited for spring to come, because spring meant flowers, birds and sun. They wanted to see the new things that grew in the garden and the park. + +One day, they saw their mom bring home a big bag. They ran to her and asked, "What is in the bag, mom?" + +Mom smiled and said, "It is a surprise for you, my loves. But you have to wait until tomorrow to open it. It is a special gift for spring." + +Lily and Tom were curious and excited. They wondered what the gift could be. They tried to guess, but mom would not tell them. She put the bag in a closet and locked the door. She said, "You have to be patient and good. Do not try to peek or spoil the surprise." + +Lily and Tom nodded, but they were still very curious. They wanted to see the gift so much. They thought it was difficult to wait. They thought mom would not notice if they just took a little look. When mom was busy in the kitchen, they sneaked to the closet and tried to open the door. But the door was locked and they could not find the key. + +They were frustrated and angry. They kicked the door and shouted, "We want to see the gift! We want to see the gift!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to the closet. She saw Lily and Tom crying and yelling. She was sad and disappointed. She said, "Why did you do that, my loves? You did not listen to me. You tried to spoil the surprise. Now you have to wait even longer. You have to learn to be patient and good." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had been naughty and rude. They hugged mom and said, "We are sorry, mom. We love you. We will be patient and good. Please forgive us." + +Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, my loves. I forgive you. But you have to wait until tomorrow to see the gift. It is a very special gift for spring. You will like it, I promise." + +Lily and Tom nodded and smiled. They decided to wait until tomorrow to see the gift. They wondered what it could be. They hoped it was something fun and beautiful. They hoped it was worth the wait. They hoped it would not spoil. +Mia and Sam are new friends. They met at the park yesterday. They like to play on the swings and slide. Today, they want to introduce each other to their families. + +Mia takes Sam to her house. She shows him her room. She has a lot of toys and books. She also has a big window with a nice view. She can see the trees and the birds. + +"Look, Sam, this is my view. Do you like it?" Mia asks. + +"Yes, Mia, it is very pretty. I like the colors and the shapes. Can I show you my view?" Sam replies. + +"Of course, Sam. Let's go to your house." Mia says. + +They walk to Sam's house. He shows her his room. He has a lot of cars and trains. He also has a small window with a different view. He can see the street and the cars. + +"Look, Mia, this is my view. Do you like it?" Sam asks. + +"Yes, Sam, it is very interesting. I like the sounds and the movements. Your view is different from mine, but both are good." Mia says. + +They hear a knock on the door. It is Sam's mom and dad. They are happy to see Mia. + +"Hello, Mia. We are Sam's mom and dad. We are glad to meet you. You are a good friend to Sam." Sam's mom says. + +"Hello, Sam's mom and dad. I am Mia. I am happy to meet you too. You have a nice house and a nice son." Mia says. + +They hug and smile. They are all friendly and helpful. They have a lot of fun together. Mia and Sam are happy to introduce each other to their families. They are good friends. The end. +Lily and Ben love to go to the park with Mom. They like to slide, swing, and run on the grass. They also like to feed the ducks and look at the flowers. Sometimes they meet other kids and play with them. + +One day, Mom said they could go to the park after lunch. Lily and Ben were very happy. They ate their pasta very fast. Pasta is their favorite food. They put on their hats and shoes and got in the car. + +But when they got to the park, they saw something bad. The park was closed. There was a big sign that said "Sorry, no play today". Lily and Ben were very sad. They wanted to play in the park. They asked Mom why the park was closed. + +Mom said the park was closed because they were fixing something. She said they could come back another day. She said they could go to the library instead. They could read some books and play with the toys. Lily and Ben liked the library, but they liked the park more. + +They got back in the car and went to the library. They tried to have fun, but they missed the park. They hoped the park would open soon. They wanted to slide, swing, and run on the grass again. They wanted to feed the ducks and look at the flowers again. They wanted to play in the park. +Sara and Tom love to watch the trains go by. They live near the tracks and every day they run to the fence and wave at the drivers. Sometimes the drivers wave back and honk their horns. Sara and Tom think that is very fun. + +One day, a big storm comes. The sky is dark and the wind is loud. Sara and Tom are scared. They hear a terrible noise from the tracks. They look out the window and see a train that is broken. The cars are twisted and some are on fire. Smoke and sparks are everywhere. Sara and Tom are very sad. They wonder if the drivers are okay. + +They hear sirens and see lights. Fire trucks and ambulances come to help. Sara and Tom watch as the helpers try to save the drivers and put out the fire. They hope that everyone is safe. + +After a long time, the storm stops and the fire is gone. The helpers take the drivers and the train away. Sara and Tom go outside and see the tracks. They are empty and quiet. Sara and Tom miss the trains. They wish they could wave at them again. + +They hear a whistle and see a light. A new train is coming. It is shiny and clean. It slows down and stops near the fence. The driver opens the window and smiles. He waves at Sara and Tom and says, "Hello, kids. I'm sorry about the terrible accident. But don't worry, the trains will be back soon. Do you want to see my train?" + +Sara and Tom nod and smile. They run to the fence and wave at the driver. He invites them to come inside and shows them his engine. He lets them sit in his seat and blow his horn. He tells them stories about the trains and the places he goes. Sara and Tom think that is very fun. + +They thank the driver and say goodbye. He waves at them and says, "See you soon, kids. Keep waving at the trains. They like it." He starts his train and moves on. Sara and Tom wave at him until he is out of sight. They are happy. They love the trains. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They went to the tree and looked in the hole. They saw a note. It was weird. It had some words and a picture of a knife. They did not know what it meant. + +"Maybe it is a treasure map," Tom said. "Let's take it and see." + +They took the note and ran to a bench. They tried to read the words, but they were hard. They looked at the picture. It was a knife with a red line on it. + +"Maybe we have to cut something," Lily said. "Maybe there is a clue." + +She took out her scissors from her backpack. She liked to cut paper and make shapes. She cut the note along the red line. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a beep. The note was not a note. It was a bomb. It exploded. Tom and Lily were hurt. They screamed and cried. + +A man came out of the bushes. He was bad. He had made the bomb. He wanted to hurt people. He saw Tom and Lily. He laughed. + +"That's what you get for being nosy," he said. "You should have left my note alone." + +He ran away. Tom and Lily were very sad and scared. They wished they had never seen the weird note. +Tommy was a lonely frog. He had no friends to play with in the pond. He liked to hop on the lily pads, but he wished he had someone to hop with him. He saw other frogs hopping with their friends, and he felt sad. + +One day, he saw a new frog in the pond. She was green and shiny, and she had a big smile. Tommy wanted to talk to her, but he was shy. He hopped closer to her, but he did not say anything. He just watched her hop on the lily pads. + +"Hi, I'm Lily," the new frog said. She hopped over to Tommy and looked at him with her big eyes. "What's your name?" + +Tommy was surprised. He did not expect her to talk to him. He felt nervous, but he also felt happy. He opened his mouth and said, "I'm Tommy." + +Lily smiled again. "Do you want to play with me, Tommy?" she asked. "We can hop on the lily pads, and we can measure how far we can hop. It's fun!" + +Tommy nodded. He wanted to play with Lily. He wanted to measure how far he could hop. He wanted to have fun. He hopped after Lily, and they started to play.

They are very excited to see the show with songs and animals. Mom says they have to hurry or they will be late. Sara and Ben put on their coats and shoes and run to the car. + +On the way, they see a big traffic jam. There are many cars and trucks and buses. They are all honking and moving very slowly. Sara and Ben start to feel uncomfortable. They are hot and bored and hungry. They ask Mom and Dad how long it will take to get to the theater. + +Mom and Dad look at the clock and the map.

It is soft and fluffy. Ben likes the carpet too. He likes to roll on it and make noises. + +"Look, Lily, I am a car!" Ben says. He pretends to be a car and zooms around the carpet. He makes loud honking sounds. + +"Ben, stop it!" Lily says. She does not like Ben's game. He is too noisy and he bumps into her toys. She wants to read her book. It is about a princess and a dragon. + +"No, I won't stop!" Ben says. He thinks Lily is boring. He wants to have fun. He zooms faster and faster on the carpet. He does not care about Lily's toys or book. + +"Ben, you are a bad boy!" Lily says. She is angry and sad. She tries to grab her book, but Ben runs over it with his chubby body. He tears the pages and makes a mess. + +"Ha ha ha!" Ben laughs. He thinks he is funny. He does not see Lily's tears. He does not hear Lily's cry. + +"Mommy, mommy, help!" Lily shouts.

She tells him he has to say sorry to Lily and help her clean up. She tells him he has to go to his room and think about what he did. + +Ben does not like Mommy's words. He does not want to say sorry or help or go to his room. He wants to play more. He tries to run away, but Mommy catches him. She picks him up and carries him to his room.

They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him two buttons for eyes and a smile. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Anna said. "You are our friend." + +"Yes, you are very nice," Ben said. "But you look cold. Do you want some sugar?" + +Anna and Ben ran to the kitchen and took some sugar cubes. They came back and put them in the snowman's mouth. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" the snowman said. "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very kind." + +But then, a nosy squirrel came by. He saw the sugar cubes and wanted some too. He climbed on the snowman's head and reached for his mouth. + +"Hey, stop that!" the snowman said. "That's my sugar.

To a place where I will be your new mommy. And you will do everything I say. Isn't that a nice surprise?" aunt Lily said with a wicked smile. + +Sara and Ben were scared. They did not want to go with aunt Lily. They wanted to go back to their home and their real mommy and daddy. They tried to open the door and get out. But the door was locked.

She felt sorry for them. + +"Tom, Mia, what happened?" she asked. + +They told her what happened. They blamed each other's toys. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. The sun was too hot for your toys. It was not your fault or your friend's fault. Sometimes things change and break. But you can still play with other toys. And you can still be friends. You have many toys and you have each other. That is very impressive!" + +Tom and Mia looked at each other. They felt sorry for being mean. They said sorry and hugged each other.

"The cross is not for playing. It is for marking the field. It is for the soccer team. They will be here soon." + +Lily and Tom feel bad. They did not know. They say sorry to the lady. + +The lady smiles. She is patient. She says, "It is okay. You made a mistake. But you can fix it. You can help me put the cross back together. Then you can watch the soccer game. Do you want to do that?" + +Lily and Tom nod. They want to help. They want to watch the game. They say yes to the lady. + +They work together. They find the pieces of the cross. They tape them with the lady. They put the cross back on the grass. + +The lady says, "Well done! You are good helpers. Thank you for being sorry and for fixing the cross. Now you can watch the game. Come with me. I will call the soccer team. They will be happy to see you." + +Lily and Tom follow the lady. They are happy too. They learned to share and to be careful. They watch the soccer game. They cheer for the team. They have fun. They are friends again. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the park. They enjoyed the swings, the slide and the sandbox. One day, they found something shiny in the sand. It was a metal coin with a picture of a lion on it. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said, holding the coin in her hand. "It is so pretty and shiny!" + +"Let me see!" Max said, reaching for the coin. "Maybe it is worth a lot of money!" + +They started to argue over who could keep the coin. They pulled and tugged at it, but it did not break. They did not notice that a man was watching them from a bench. + +"Excuse me, kids," the man said, walking over to them. "Do you know what you have there?" + +Lily and Max stopped fighting and looked at the man. He had a friendly smile and a big beard. He wore a hat and a coat with many pockets. + +"This is a very rare coin," the man said, pointing at the lion. "It is from a faraway country, where lions live in the wild. It is very old and very valuable. I collect coins like this, and I have been looking for this one for a long time." + +Lily and Max felt surprised and curious. They wondered how the coin got to the park, and why the man wanted it so much. + +"Can we keep it?" Lily asked. + +"Or can we sell it?" Max asked. + +The man laughed and shook his head. "No, no, you can't do that. This coin belongs in a museum, where everyone can see it and learn about it. It is part of history, and history is important. How about this: I will give you each a different coin from my collection, and you give me this one. Then we can all be happy and enjoy our coins. What do you say?" + +Lily and Max thought about it. They liked the shiny coin, but they also liked the idea of having their own coins from different places. They agreed to trade with the man. He gave them each a coin with a different picture on it, and thanked them for the rare coin. He told them to take good care of their coins, and to come back to the park if they wanted to see more. + +Lily and Max smiled and said goodbye to the man. They ran back to the sandbox, where they showed their coins to their friends. They enjoyed looking at the different pictures and imagining the stories behind them. They felt happy and proud of their coins, and of their new friend. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was to make a tent with a big sheet. They would attach the sheet to their bed and chairs with clips and crawl inside. They pretended they were in a forest or a castle or a spaceship. + +One day, Tom and Lily had a fight. Tom wanted to play with the spaceship book, but Lily wanted to play with the princess book. They both grabbed the book and pulled hard. The book ripped in half and they both cried. They were so angry that they threw the book pieces at each other. Then they started to pull the sheet from the tent. They wanted to have their own tent and not share. + +But the sheet was not strong enough for their harsh pulling. It tore apart and fell down. The clips flew off and hit the wall and the window. The bed and chairs toppled over and made a loud noise. Tom and Lily were scared and hurt. They looked at the mess they had made and felt sorry. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the broken book, the ripped sheet, the fallen furniture and the crying twins. She was very upset and disappointed. She scolded them for being selfish and rude. She told them to clean up the room and to say sorry to each other. She took away their toys and books for a week. She said they had to learn to share and be kind. + +Tom and Lily realized they had been wrong. They hugged each other and said sorry. They helped each other to clean up the room. They wished they had not fought over the book. They missed their toys and books and their tent. They learned that fighting was not fun and that sharing was better. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. One day, they saw a big tent in the park. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They sneaked into the tent. They saw many people sitting on chairs. They saw a big stage with curtains. They heard loud music and singing. They did not know what it was. + +"It is an opera," said a voice behind them. They turned around and saw an elderly man. He had a long beard and a hat. He looked angry. "What are you doing here? This is not a place for children. You have to leave." + +"Sorry, sir," said Tom. "We just wanted to see." + +"See what? You have ruined the show. You have revealed the surprise. The curtains were supposed to open later. Now everyone knows what is behind them. You have spoiled the opera." + +The elderly man grabbed Tom and Lily by their arms. He dragged them out of the tent. He shouted at them and told them to go away. He said they were naughty and rude. + +Tom and Lily felt scared and sad. They ran back to their parents. They cried and said they were sorry. They did not like the opera. They did not like the elderly man. They did not like the park. They wanted to go home. +Lily was a spoiled girl who always got what she wanted. She had many toys, clothes and books, but she never shared them with anyone. She also hated getting a haircut, because she liked her long hair very much. + +One day, her mother told her that she had to go to the salon and get a haircut. Lily threw a tantrum and refused to go. She ran away from her mother and hid in the park. She saw some children playing with a ball and decided to join them. She thought they would let her play because she had a pretty dress and a shiny necklace. + +But the children did not like Lily. They saw that she was rude and selfish. They did not want to play with her. They ignored her and threw the ball to each other. Lily got angry and tried to catch the ball. But she was not good at catching. She missed the ball and it hit her in the face. She fell down and started to cry. + +The children felt sorry for Lily and went to help her. They saw that her necklace was broken and her dress was dirty. They also saw that her hair was tangled and messy. They told her that she should get a haircut, because it would make her look nicer and feel better. They also told her that she should be kind and share, because that would make her have more friends. + +Lily realized that they were right. She felt ashamed of her behavior and apologized to them. She asked them if they could be her friends and play with her. They agreed and gave her a hug. They also helped her find her mother and go to the salon. Lily got a haircut and was happy with it. She learned that being spoiled was not good and that being nice was better. She thanked the children and her mother and promised to be a good girl. +Ben and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Ben has a number toy that can make sounds and lights. Mia has a fat doll that can change clothes and hair. They are having fun and sharing their toys. + +"Look, Mia, this is number one. It is red and it makes a beep sound," Ben says, showing his number toy to Mia. + +"Wow, Ben, that is a cool toy. Can I try it?" Mia asks, reaching for the number toy. + +"Sure, Mia, you can try it. But be careful, it is fragile," Ben says, handing the number toy to Mia. + +"Thank you, Ben. Here, you can play with my fat doll. She is very soft and pretty. You can dress her up and comb her hair," Mia says, giving her fat doll to Ben. + +"Thank you, Mia. She is a nice doll. I like her pink dress and her yellow hair," Ben says, holding the fat doll. + +They play with each other's toys for a while, then they switch back. They are happy and friendly. They like their toys and they like each other. +Sara and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, Sara brought her new sunglasses to the park. They were pink and shiny and had hearts on them. Sara loved her sunglasses very much. + +"Can I try your sunglasses?" Tom asked Sara. + +"Okay, but be careful. They are very special to me," Sara said. She gave her sunglasses to Tom and he put them on. + +Tom felt very cool with the sunglasses. He ran around the park and pretended to be a spy. He forgot to be careful. He tripped over a rock and fell down. The sunglasses broke into pieces. + +"Oh no! I'm so sorry, Sara!" Tom cried. He picked up the broken sunglasses and ran to Sara. He showed her what happened. + +Sara was very sad and angry. She liked her sunglasses more than anything. She snatched the pieces from Tom and shouted at him. + +"You are a bad friend! You broke my sunglasses! I don't want to play with you anymore!" Sara said. + +Tom felt very bad and sorry. He wanted to make Sara happy again. He tried to hug her and say sorry, but Sara pushed him away. + +"Go away! Leave me alone!" Sara said. + +Tom ran away, crying. He felt very lonely and sad. He wished Sara would forgive him. + +The next day, Tom went to the park again. He hoped to see Sara and say sorry again. He brought a gift for her. It was a new pair of sunglasses. They were blue and sparkly and had stars on them. Tom thought Sara would like them. + +He saw Sara sitting on a bench. She was not playing. She looked sad too. Tom walked up to her and said hello. + +"Hi, Sara. I'm very sorry for breaking your sunglasses. I didn't mean to. I was silly and careless. Please forgive me," Tom said. + +He gave her the new sunglasses and smiled. + +"These are for you. I hope you like them. They are very pretty, like you," Tom said. + +Sara looked at the new sunglasses. They were very pretty. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She remembered that Tom was her best friend. He made a mistake, but he was sorry and he tried to make up for it. She smiled back at Tom. + +"Thank you, Tom. They are very nice. I forgive you. I'm sorry for being mean to you. You are a good friend," Sara said. + +She put on the new sunglasses and hugged Tom. + +"Can we play together again?" Sara asked. + +"Of course. Let's play spies. You can wear the sunglasses and I'll wear this hat," Tom said. + +He took out a hat from his backpack. It was green and had a feather on it. Tom put it on. + +They laughed and ran around the park. They had fun and forgot about the broken sunglasses. They were happy and normal again. They were best friends. +Tim and Amy were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Sometimes they found worms, beetles, or snails. They put them in a jar and watched them move. + +"Look, Tim, I found a green leaf!" Amy said, holding up a shiny leaf. "It smells good. Do you want to smell it?" + +Tim sniffed the leaf. It smelled fresh and cool. He liked it. "What is it?" he asked. + +"It's mint," Amy said. "Mommy uses it to make tea. She says it's yummy. Do you want to try it?" + +Tim nodded. He took a bite of the leaf. It was sweet and spicy in his mouth. He made a funny face. He did not like it. It was too strong for him. + +"Yuck!" he said, spitting out the leaf. "I don't like mint. It's not yummy. It's yucky!" + +Amy laughed. She liked mint. She thought it was yummy. She took another bite of the leaf. She smiled. + +"I like mint," she said. "It's yummy. You should try it again. Maybe you will like it." + +Tim shook his head. He did not want to try it again. He did not like mint. He resisted Amy's offer. He gave her the rest of the leaf. + +"No, thank you," he said. "You can have it. I will look for more bugs." + +Amy shrugged. She did not mind. She ate the leaf. She liked mint. She thought it was yummy. She helped Tim look for more bugs. They had fun in the garden. +Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They liked the animals, but they wanted to see the penguins. Mom said they had to wait until the end, because the penguins were far away. + +When they finally got to the penguins, Tom and Lily were very happy. They saw the penguins swim, slide, and waddle. They wanted to touch the penguins, but mom said no. She said the penguins might bite or peck them. Tom and Lily did not listen. They ran to the fence and reached their hands to the penguins. + +One penguin was very tired. He had been swimming and playing all day. He wanted to rest, but he saw two hands coming to him. He did not like that. He thought the hands were trying to hurt him. He opened his beak and pinched one of the hands. It was Tom's hand. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cried. He pulled his hand back and saw blood. He was very scared and hurt. He ran to mom and showed her his hand. Mom was very angry and worried. She took Tom to the nurse and said sorry to the zookeeper. She said Tom and Lily were very naughty and did not follow the rules. + +Lily was very sad. She did not pinch the penguin, but she felt bad for Tom. She also felt bad for the penguin. She thought the penguin was scared and did not mean to pinch Tom. She wanted to say sorry to the penguin, but mom said they had to go home. She said they could not see the penguins anymore. Lily cried and said she loved the penguins. Mom said she loved them too, but they had to be careful and respectful. She said maybe they could come back another day, but only if they behaved well. Lily nodded, but she was not sure if the penguin would forgive her. She hoped he would. She hoped Tom would be okay. She hoped mom would not be mad at her. She was very tired and sad. It was a bad day. +Tim and Mia like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make a track with their blocks and books. They put their cars on the track and zoom them around. + +"Look at my red car!" Tim says. "It is very fast and noisy. Vroom, vroom!" + +"My blue car is faster and quieter," Mia says. "It can zoom past your car. Shh, shh!" + +They zoom their cars on the track and have fun. But then, Tim's car gets stuck on a string. The string is from Mia's sweater. It is on the floor and tangled with the track. + +"Oh no!" Tim says. "My car is stuck on the string. Help me, Mia!" + +Mia stops her car and goes to help Tim. She pulls the string and frees Tim's car. She also picks up the string and puts it in her pocket. + +"Thank you, Mia!" Tim says. "You are a good sister. Sorry for the string." + +"That's okay, Tim," Mia says. "You are a good brother. Let's zoom our cars again." + +They zoom their cars on the track and have fun. They are happy and noisy. Vroom, vroom! Shh, shh! +Tom likes to go to the park with his mom. He likes to see the trees, the flowers and the animals. He likes to feed the pigeons with bread crumbs. He thinks they are funny and friendly. + +One day, he sees a pigeon that looks different from the others. It has a red band on its leg. Tom is curious. He asks his mom, "Mom, why does that pigeon have a red band?" + +His mom tells him, "That pigeon is a special pigeon. It is a messenger pigeon. It can carry messages from one place to another. The red band has a number on it. That is how people know which pigeon it is." + +Tom is amazed. He wants to know more. He asks his mom, "How does it carry messages? Where does it go?" + +His mom tells him, "It carries messages in a small tube that is attached to its leg. People write notes and put them in the tube. Then they send the pigeon to fly to another person who is waiting for the message. The pigeon knows where to go because it has a good memory and a good sense of direction. It can fly very far and very fast." + +Tom thinks that is very cool. He wishes he could fly like a pigeon. He says to his mom, "Mom, can we send a message to someone with the pigeon?" + +His mom smiles and says, "Maybe we can. But first we have to ask the owner of the pigeon. He is the man who is sitting on the bench over there. He is the one who takes care of the pigeons and makes sure they are healthy and happy. He is very nice. Do you want to go and talk to him?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, I do. Maybe he will let us send a message to dad. He is at work and I miss him." + +His mom says, "That is a good idea. Let's go and see if we can do that. Come on, Tom. Let's go and meet the pigeon man." +Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They can build many things with blocks. They can build houses, cars, towers, and animals. Sometimes they build together, and sometimes they build alone. + +One day, Anna has an idea. She wants to build a purse with blocks. She thinks it will be interesting and pretty. She tells Ben her idea. + +"Ben, do you want to help me build a purse with blocks?" she asks. + +"A purse? What is a purse?" Ben asks. + +"A purse is a thing you can put things in. Like toys, or snacks, or books. Mommy has a purse. She takes it with her when she goes out. I want to have a purse too," Anna explains. + +"Oh, I see. A purse sounds fun. How do you build a purse with blocks?" Ben wonders. + +Anna shows him. She takes some blocks and makes a big rectangle. Then she takes some more blocks and makes a smaller rectangle on top of the big one. Then she takes two blocks and makes a handle. She attaches the handle to the smaller rectangle. + +"Look, this is my purse. Do you like it?" Anna asks. + +Ben looks at Anna's purse. He thinks it is interesting and pretty. He likes the colors and the shape. He smiles and nods. + +"I like it. It is a good purse. Can I put something in it?" he asks. + +"Sure, you can put something in it. What do you want to put in it?" Anna says. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He looks around and sees his favorite toy car. He picks it up and puts it in Anna's purse. + +"There, I put my car in your purse. Now your purse has something in it," he says. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They have built a purse with blocks. They think it is interesting and pretty. They take turns putting things in it and taking them out. They have fun playing with their purse. +Lily had a big bump on her head. She fell down from the slide at the park. It hurt a lot and made her cry. Mommy took her to the hospital to see a doctor. + +The doctor was nice and gave Lily a sticker. He looked at her bump and said it was not too bad. He put some ice on it to make it smaller. He told Lily to rest and not play too hard for a few days. + +Lily was bored at the hospital. It was dull and there was nothing to do. She missed her toys and her friends. She wanted to go home and have fun. She asked Mommy when they could leave. + +Mommy said they had to wait a little longer. The doctor wanted to check on Lily again and make sure she was okay. He also wanted to give her some medicine to help her bump heal faster. Mommy said the medicine would increase her health and make her feel better. + +Lily nodded and tried to be patient. She hoped the medicine would work soon and the bump would go away. She also hoped the doctor would let them go home soon. She was tired of the hospital and wanted to see her daddy and her dog. She hugged Mommy and thanked her for taking care of her. +Sara and Tom were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses with different colors. Sara had a lot of blue blocks, and Tom had a lot of red blocks. They decided to make a big castle together, using both colors. + +They worked hard and patient, putting one block on top of another. They made walls and windows and doors. They made a flag with a yellow block and a stick. They were very proud of their castle. + +But then, Tom saw a blue block that he wanted. It was in the middle of the castle, holding up a wall. He reached for it and tried to remove it. "Tom, no!" Sara said. "That block is important! It will make the castle fall!" + +Tom did not listen. He pulled the blue block out. And then, CRASH! The castle collapsed. All the blocks fell down and made a big mess. Sara and Tom were sad and angry. They had lost their castle and their fun. + +"Tom, you were very bad!" Sara said. "You did not share. You did not care. You ruined our castle!" + +"I'm sorry, Sara," Tom said. "I was greedy. I wanted the blue block. I did not think. I made a mistake." + +Sara and Tom learned a lesson. They learned that they should not be greedy and selfish. They learned that they should respect each other's work and things. They learned that they should work together and share. They learned that they should be careful and think before they act. They learned that they should be good friends. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is a big red truck. They take turns to drive the truck and make noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +One day, they are playing with the truck in the yard. The sun is warm and the grass is soft. They are having fun. But then, they see a big dog. The dog is not friendly. He barks and runs to them. He wants to take their truck. Anna and Ben are scared. They run to the house. + +But the truck is still in the yard. The dog is near the truck. He sniffs and bites the truck. He makes holes in the truck. Anna and Ben are sad. They love their truck. They want to save their truck. + +They look for help. They see their mom. She is in the kitchen. She is making cookies. They tell her about the dog and the truck. She listens and nods. She says, "Don't worry. I will help you. Come with me." + +She takes them to the yard. She sees the dog and the truck. She claps her hands and shouts, "Go away, dog! Leave the truck alone!" The dog is surprised. He stops biting the truck. He looks at mom. He is afraid. He runs away. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They hug their mom. She hugs them back. She says, "You are brave. You tried to save your truck. I am proud of you." She picks up the truck. She says, "The truck is not broken. It has some holes, but it still works. You can still play with it." + +She gives them the truck. They take the truck and smile. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. You saved our truck." They go back to play with their truck. They are careful and watch for the dog. They are safe and warm. Mom goes back to the kitchen. She finishes the cookies. She calls them for a snack. They come and eat the cookies. They are yummy. They are happy. They love their mom and their truck. The end. +Lily was scared of the night. She did not like the dark and the noises. She wanted to sleep with Mom and Dad, but they said she was a big girl and had to sleep in her own bed. + +One night, she heard a loud bang outside her window. She jumped up and ran to the door. She wanted to call Mom and Dad, but her voice was stuck in her throat. She felt cold and alone. + +Then, she saw a soft light in the hall. It was her big brother, Tom. He heard the bang too, and came to check on her. He saw Lily by the door, and smiled. + +"Hey, sis, it's okay. It was just a car backfiring. Nothing to be scared of," he said. He walked over to her and gave her a hug. He felt warm and strong. + +"Can you stay with me, Tom? Please?" Lily asked. She looked at him with big eyes. + +"Sure, I can stay with you for a little while. Come on, let's go back to your bed," Tom said. He took her hand and led her to her bed. He tucked her in with her thick blanket and her teddy bear. He sat on the edge of the bed and stroked her hair. + +"I'm here, Lily. You're safe. I'll comfort you until you fall asleep," he said. He sang her a soft song that Mom used to sing to them. Lily felt calm and cozy. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. She was not scared of the night anymore. She had her big brother to comfort her. +Tom and Lily were twins who shared a room and a bed. They liked to play and read and sing together, but sometimes they fought over the space on the bed. One night, Tom pushed Lily to the edge of the mattress and said, "This is my side. You go away." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "No, this is our bed. We have to share. You are being mean." + +Tom did not listen. He said, "I need more room. You are too big and noisy. I want to sleep alone." + +Lily tried to pull the blanket back, but Tom held it tight. They started to tug and yell and kick each other. They made a lot of noise and woke up their mom and dad. + +Mom and dad came to their room and saw them fighting. They were not happy. They said, "Stop it, both of you. Why are you being so rude and selfish? You have a nice bed and a cozy mattress. You should be grateful and kind to each other." + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We were not thinking. We love each other and we love our bed." + +Mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They said, "We are glad you are sorry. We love you too. But we have a surprise for you. We bought a new mattress for you. It is bigger and softer and more comfortable. We can add it to your bed and make it a double bed. Then you will have more space and more fun." + +Tom and Lily were amazed. They said, "Wow, thank you, mom and dad. That is so nice of you. We are so happy. Can we try it now?" + +Mom and dad said, "Yes, you can. But first, you have to promise to be nice and share and respect each other. And to say good night and sleep well." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We promise. We will be good. Good night, mom and dad. We love you." + +Mom and dad said, "Good night, Tom and Lily. We love you too." + +They helped them add the new mattress to their bed and tucked them in. Tom and Lily snuggled up and smiled. They felt warm and cozy and happy.

Sam jumps on the bike too. He sits in a basket in front of Tom. + +"Ready, Sam?" Tom asks. + +"Woof, woof!" Sam barks. + +They rush out of the garage and start their route. They go fast and stop at each house. Tom throws a newspaper to the porch. Sam watches and learns. + +Soon, they come to the last house. It is a big house with a high fence. Tom throws the newspaper over the fence. But it lands on the roof. + +"Oh, no!" Tom says. "How can I get it down?" + +Sam has an idea. He jumps out of the basket and runs to the fence. He finds a hole and squeezes through. He sees a ladder leaning against the house. He climbs the ladder and reaches the roof. He grabs the newspaper with his teeth and slides down the ladder. He runs back to the fence and gives the newspaper to Tom. + +"Wow, Sam, you are so clever!" Tom says. "You saved the day!" + +"Woof, woof!" Sam barks. He wags his tail and licks Tom's face. + +They get back on the bike and go home. They are happy and proud. They have done a good job. +Jill had a loose tooth. She wiggled it with her tongue every day. She wanted it to fall out so she could put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy. She heard that the tooth fairy gave you a shiny coin for your tooth. + +One day, Jill was eating an apple. She bit hard and felt a pop. She spit out a piece of apple and saw her tooth on it.

She hoped the tooth fairy would come soon. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of the shiny coin she would get. + +But when she woke up, she saw something strange. There was no coin under her pillow. There was a tiny hat. It was red and sparkly. It had a feather on it. Jill picked it up and looked at it. It was very pretty, but it was too small for her head. She wondered why the tooth fairy left it for her. + +Then she heard a voice. It was high and squeaky. It came from under her bed. It said, "Excuse me, miss. Can I have my hat back? I dropped it by mistake. It's my regular hat. It fits me just right." + +Jill was surprised. She looked under her bed and saw a little fairy. She had wings and a dress. She looked like the tooth fairy, but she was not. She was the hat fairy. She collected hats from all over the world. She had a big bag of hats with her. + +Jill smiled and gave her the hat. She said, "I'm sorry, I thought it was a gift from the tooth fairy. It's a very nice hat. But it doesn't fit me." + +The hat fairy thanked her and put the hat on her head. She said, "It's okay, I understand. You have a lovely tooth. I'm sure the tooth fairy will come soon. She must be very busy. Here, take this as a thank you. It's a hat pin. It's very rare. You can use it to decorate your hat or your hair." + +She gave Jill a small pin. It had a pearl on it. It was very pretty. Jill thanked her and took the pin. She said, "Thank you, hat fairy. You are very kind. I like your hat pin. It's very rare." + +The hat fairy smiled and flew away. She said, "You're welcome, Jill. Have a nice day. And don't forget to brush your teeth." + +Jill put the pin on her pillow. She looked at her tooth. She wondered when the tooth fairy would come. She hoped she would like her tooth.

She smiled and said, "Lily, what are you doing in the crib? You have a big bed now. Don't you like it?" + +Lily looked up and said, "I like my bed, Mommy. But I also like my crib. It is amazing. It has my bear and my doll and my blanket. Can I keep it?" + +Mommy thought for a moment. She said, "Well, Lily, you can keep your crib for a little while. But you know, there are other babies who need a crib. They don't have a bed or a room or toys. They would be very happy to have your crib. Do you want to share your crib with them?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She loved her crib, but she also wanted to help other babies. She said, "Okay, Mommy. I will share my crib with them. But can I keep my bear and my doll and my blanket?" + +Mommy hugged Lily and said, "Of course, Lily. You can keep your bear and your doll and your blanket. They are yours. And you are very kind and generous to share your crib with other babies. I am very proud of you." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you." + +Mommy said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go and find a place to supply your crib to other babies. Maybe we can find a new toy for you too." + +Lily nodded and got out of the crib. She held Mommy's hand and walked out of the room. She was a big girl now. And she was happy. +Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park, but they also wanted to see new things. One day, they decided to go on a journey. They packed some snacks, a ball, and a map in their backpacks. + +"Where should we go?" Mia asked. + +"Let's follow the map," Ben said. "It will show us the way." + +They walked and walked, looking at the map. They saw many things they had never seen before: big buildings, busy streets, and colorful signs. They also saw some things that scared them: loud noises, strange people, and angry dogs. + +"Ben, I'm scared," Mia said. "Maybe we should go back." + +"No, Mia, we can do this," Ben said. "We are brave. We can think of how to deal with the problems. Look, the map says there is a park nearby. Let's go there and have some fun." + +They followed the map to the park. It was a beautiful park, with green grass, flowers, and a pond. They saw some ducks, squirrels, and children playing. They felt happy and safe. + +"Ben, this is a nice place," Mia said. "But I miss our park. I miss our home. I miss our mommies and daddies." + +"Me too, Mia," Ben said. "Let's go back. We have seen enough. We have learned a lot. We have been brave. But we also need to be smart. We need to listen to our parents. They know what is best for us." + +They packed their backpacks again and followed the map back to their park. They saw their parents waiting for them. They ran to hug them and tell them about their journey. Their parents were angry, but also relieved and proud. + +"Ben and Mia, you have been very naughty," their mommies said. "You should never go away without telling us. You could have been hurt or lost. You made us very worried." + +"We are sorry, mommies," Ben and Mia said. "We wanted to see new things. We wanted to be brave. But we also missed you. We love you." + +"We love you too, Ben and Mia," their daddies said. "We are glad you are back. We are glad you are safe. We are glad you are brave. But you also need to be careful. You need to follow the rules. You need to respect the dangers. You need to think before you act." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They understood. They had learned a valuable lesson. They had had a great adventure, but they also had a great home. They decided to stay in their park and play with their ball. They were happy. They were brave. They were smart. +Lila wanted to own a new blouse. She saw one in the shop window that was pink and had flowers on it. She asked her mom if she could buy it. + +"Mom, can I have that blouse? It is so pretty!" Lila said. + +Mom looked at the price tag and shook her head. "No, Lila, that blouse is too expensive. We have to save money for other things." + +Lila felt sad and angry. She really wanted that blouse. She thought it would make her look like a princess. She started to cry and stomp her feet. + +Mom was anxious. She did not like it when Lila threw a tantrum. She tried to calm her down. + +"Lila, stop crying, please. I know you like that blouse, but you already own many nice clothes. How about we go home and play with your dolls? Maybe we can make them some new dresses with the fabric scraps we have." + +Lila sniffed and wiped her tears. She looked at her mom and nodded. She loved her dolls and making them new dresses. She decided to forget about the blouse for now. + +"Okay, Mom, let's go home and play. Maybe I can make a pink dress with flowers for my doll. Then she can look like a princess." + +Mom smiled and hugged Lila. She was glad that Lila was happy again. She hoped that Lila would learn to be more grateful for what she had and not always want more. She took her hand and they walked home together. +Ben and Mia are playing in the yard. They find a big box. They want to make a house with the box. + +"Let's tie the box to the tree," Ben says. "Then it will not fall." + +"OK," Mia says. "I have a rope. You hold the box and I will tie it." + +Mia ties the box to the tree with the rope. She makes a knot. She is happy. + +"Look, we have a house!" she says. "Let's go inside." + +Ben and Mia go inside the box. They pretend to cook and sleep and read. They have fun. + +But then, a strong wind comes. It blows the box. The rope breaks. The box falls to the ground. It makes a loud noise. + +"Ow!" Ben says. "The box is broken. Our house is broken." + +Mia cries. She is sad. She hugs Ben. + +"It's OK," Ben says. "We can find another box. Or we can make something else. We still have each other." + +Mia smiles. She wipes her tears. She nods. + +"Yes," she says. "We still have each other. And we still have fun." +Lily and Tom are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They are very happy. They want to pack their toys and books. Mom helps them pack. She says, "Don't forget your battery for your flashlight. It is dark at night in Grandma's house." + +Lily and Tom find their battery in the drawer. They put it in their flashlight. They pack their flashlight, their teddy bears, their puzzles, and their crayons. They zip their bags. They are ready to go. + +Mom says, "You are very helpful, Lily and Tom. You packed your things very well. Now, let's go to the car. Grandma and Grandpa are waiting for us." Lily and Tom hug Mom. They carry their bags to the car. They buckle their seat belts. They wave goodbye to their house. They are excited to see Grandma and Grandpa. They hope they have cookies and stories for them. +Lily and Ben like to play with their kayak. It is a big boat that they can sit in and paddle on the water. They have a lot of fun with their kayak, but sometimes they also tease each other. + +One day, Lily and Ben go to the lake with their kayak. They put on their life jackets and helmets, and then they get in the boat. Lily sits in the front and Ben sits in the back. They start to paddle and splash. + +Lily sees a duck on the water. She thinks it is cute and wants to get closer. She paddles faster and says, "Look, Ben, a duck! Let's go see it!" But Ben does not like ducks. He thinks they are noisy and mean. He paddles slower and says, "No, Lily, no ducks! They will bite us!" + +Lily does not listen to Ben. She paddles harder and harder, and the kayak moves faster and faster. Ben gets scared and angry. He tries to stop the kayak, but he can't. He starts to tease Lily. He says, "Lily, you are silly! You are a duck lover! Quack, quack, quack!" + +Lily gets annoyed and hurt. She does not like Ben's teasing. She says, "Ben, you are mean! You are a duck hater! Stop it, stop it, stop it!" She turns around and tries to hit Ben with her paddle, but she misses. She hits the kayak instead. + +The kayak is delicate. It is not strong enough to take a hit. It makes a loud crack and starts to leak. Water comes in and fills the boat. Lily and Ben scream and cry. They are wet and cold and scared. The duck flies away and laughs. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs and worms. One day, they saw a big mole poking out of the ground. The mole had a long nose and soft fur. + +"Wow, look at the mole!" Ben said. "I want to pick it up and pet it." + +"No, I want to pick it up and pet it!" Lily said. "It is so cute and fluffy." + +They both reached for the mole, but the mole was scared and ran away. Ben and Lily chased after it, but they could not catch it. They started to argue and push each other. + +"Stop it, Ben, you are mean!" Lily said. "You are jealous because I saw the mole first." + +"Stop it, Lily, you are mean!" Ben said. "You are jealous because I am faster than you." + +They were so busy fighting that they did not see the mole come back. The mole was curious and wanted to see what the children were doing. It sniffed their shoes and their hair. It tickled their ears and their noses. It made them laugh and forget their anger. + +"Hey, look, the mole is back!" Ben said. "It is playing with us!" + +"Wow, look, the mole is back!" Lily said. "It is so funny and friendly!" + +They both reached for the mole again, but this time they did not fight. They took turns to pick it up and pet it. They thanked the mole for making them happy. They hugged each other and said sorry. + +"Ben, you are my friend," Lily said. "I am not jealous of you." + +"Lily, you are my friend," Ben said. "I am not jealous of you." + +They smiled and played with the mole until it was time to go home. They waved goodbye to the mole and hoped to see it again. They learned that sharing and caring are better than fighting and being jealous. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play outside with their dog, Spot. Spot is big and brown and likes to run and bark. + +One day, Lily and Max decide to jog with Spot around the park. They put on their shoes and hats and tell their mom they are going out. + +"Be careful and have fun," mom says. "And come back soon for your meal. I made something yummy for you." + +Lily and Max nod and smile. They hold hands and follow Spot to the park. Spot runs fast and they jog behind him. They see birds and flowers and other kids. They say hello and wave. + +They jog for a long time and get tired and thirsty. They find a bench and sit down. They drink some water from their bottles and pet Spot. + +"That was fun," Lily says. "But I'm hungry now. Let's go back home and see what mom made for us." + +"Me too," Max says. "I hope it's something yummy like pizza or pasta or cake." + +They get up and jog back home with Spot. They see mom waiting for them at the door. She smiles and hugs them. + +"Welcome back, my loves," she says. "You must be hungry. Come and see what I made for you." + +She leads them to the kitchen and shows them a big pot of soup. It smells good and has carrots and potatoes and chicken in it. + +"Soup!" Lily and Max say. "We love soup!" + +They sit down and eat their meal. They slurp and chew and smile. Spot gets a bowl of soup too. He wags his tail and licks his lips. + +"Yummy!" Lily and Max say. "Thank you, mom. You are the best." + +Mom kisses them and says, "You are welcome, my loves. You are the best too." +Lily and Tom were at the park with their mom. They saw a truck that sold ice cream. Lily and Tom loved ice cream. They ran to the truck and asked their mom for some money. + +"OK, but only one cone each, and be careful not to drop it," their mom said. + +Lily and Tom each got a cone with two scoops of ice cream. Lily chose chocolate and vanilla. Tom chose strawberry and mint. They licked their cones happily. + +But then, a big dog came running towards them. It barked loudly and jumped on Tom. Tom was scared and dropped his cone. The dog ate his ice cream and ran away. + +Tom started to cry. He had no ice cream left. He felt helpless. He looked at Lily's cone. She still had her ice cream. + +"Can I have some of your ice cream, Lily?" Tom asked. + +Lily looked at her brother. She felt sorry for him, but she also liked her ice cream. She did not want to share. + +"No, this is mine. You should have been more careful," Lily said. + +Tom cried harder. He was hungry and sad. He wished he had his ice cream. + +Lily licked her cone. She felt happy for a moment, but then she felt bad. She saw Tom's face. He looked so unhappy. She remembered how they always played together and shared their toys. She felt something in her heart. She felt regret. + +She decided to do something nice. She broke her cone in half and gave one half to Tom. + +"Here, you can have this. I'm sorry I was mean," Lily said. + +Tom stopped crying. He smiled and took the cone. He thanked Lily and hugged her. + +They ate their cones together. They felt happy again. They learned to be kind and share. Their mom saw them and smiled too. She was proud of them. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pretty dress and long hair. Lily liked to brush Anna's hair and make her talk. + +One day, Lily saw something shiny on the table. It was an ashtray. Lily did not know what it was, but she liked how it sparkled. She wanted to play with it. She reached for the ashtray, but her mom saw her. + +"No, Lily, you can't touch that. That's an ashtray. It's for grown-ups. It's dirty and dangerous. You could hurt yourself or make a mess." Mom said. + +"But I want to play with it. It's pretty. Please, mom, allow me to play with it." Lily said. + +"No, Lily, I said no. Go play with your dolls. They are much nicer and safer." Mom said. + +Lily was angry. She did not like mom's answer. She wanted to play with the ashtray. She thought mom was mean. She decided to wait until mom was busy. Then she would take the ashtray and play with it. + +Later, mom went to the kitchen to make lunch. Lily saw her chance. She ran to the table and grabbed the ashtray. She felt proud. She had the ashtray. She took it to her room and put it on the floor. She made Anna sit next to it. She pretended that Anna was smoking. She made Anna say, "I like smoking. It makes me cool." + +But Lily did not know that the ashtray was not empty. There were some cigarette butts and ashes in it. As she played, she knocked over the ashtray. The cigarette butts and ashes fell on the floor and on Anna's dress. They made a big stain and a bad smell. Lily was scared. She tried to clean it, but it did not work. She heard mom coming. She hid the ashtray under her bed and hoped mom would not see it. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big mirror in their mom's room. They decided to have some fun with it. + +"Look, I can make funny faces!" Lily said, sticking out her tongue and crossing her eyes. She laughed when she saw herself in the mirror. + +"Me too!" Ben said, making his nose big and his mouth small. He giggled when he saw himself in the mirror. + +They took turns making silly faces and laughing at each other. They also tried on some of their mom's hats and scarves and pretended to be different people. + +"Hello, I am a pirate!" Ben said, wearing a hat with a feather and a scarf around his neck. He held a wooden spoon as a sword. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Lily said, wearing a hat with a skull and a scarf around her waist. She held a spatula as a hook. + +They pretended to sail on a ship and fight with other pirates. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily had an idea. She saw a bottle of hot sauce on the dresser. She knew it was very spicy and made her mouth burn. She decided to tease Ben with it. + +"Hey, Ben, do you want some juice?" she asked, holding the bottle behind her back. + +"Sure, I am thirsty!" Ben said, putting down his spoon. + +Lily poured some hot sauce into a cup and gave it to Ben. She smiled and waited for his reaction. + +Ben took a sip and immediately spit it out. His face turned red and he started to cough. His tongue felt like fire. + +"Ow, ow, ow! What is this?" he cried, dropping the cup. + +Lily laughed and showed him the bottle. "It's hot sauce, silly! I tricked you!" + +Ben felt angry and hurt. He didn't think it was funny at all. He grabbed the bottle and squirted some hot sauce at Lily. + +Lily screamed and dodged. The hot sauce splashed on the mirror and the floor. She felt some of it on her arm and it stung. + +"Stop it, Ben! That's not nice!" she yelled, running away. + +Ben chased her around the room, trying to squirt more hot sauce at her. They knocked over some of their mom's things and made a big mess. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was going on. She saw the mirror, the floor, and the twins covered in hot sauce. She was very angry. + +"What are you doing?" she asked, in a loud voice. "Why are you playing with my hot sauce and making a mess?" + +Lily and Ben stopped and looked at their mom. They felt scared and sorry. They knew they had done something bad. + +"We were just playing, mom," Lily said, in a small voice. + +"We were making funny faces in the mirror, mom," Ben said, in a small voice. + +"Then we teased each other with the hot sauce, mom," they said together, in a small voice. + +Their mom shook her head and sighed. She took the bottle and the cup and threw them in the trash. She took a wet cloth and wiped their faces and arms. She took them to the bathroom and made them rinse their mouths with water. + +She told them that hot sauce was not a toy and that they should not tease each other with it. She told them that they should be careful with the mirror and not break it. She told them that they should clean up the mess and apologize to each other. + +Lily and Ben nodded and said they were sorry. They hugged each other and said they loved each other. They helped their mom clean up the mess and put the hats and scarves back. They promised to be good and not play with hot sauce again. + +Their mom smiled and kissed them. She told them that she loved them and that they were good twins. She told them that they could play with the mirror again, but only with nice faces and nice words. She told them that she had some juice and cookies for them in the kitchen. + +Lily and Ben smiled and thanked their mom. They followed her to the kitchen and enjoyed their juice and cookies. They forgot about the hot sauce and the mess. They were happy and full. They decided that playing with the mirror was fun, but teasing with the hot sauce was not. +Lila and Tom were playing in the yard. They had sticks and pretended they were spears. They threw them at the trees and the fence. They had fun. + +But then Ben came. Ben was rude. He wanted to play with them, but he did not ask. He just took Lila's stick and threw it hard. It hit the window and made a loud noise. The window broke. Lila and Tom were scared. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" Lila asked. "You broke the window. That is bad. Mom will be angry." + +Ben did not care. He laughed and ran away. He did not say sorry. He was rude. + +Lila and Tom went inside. They told Mom what happened. Mom was not happy. She called Ben's mom and told her. Ben's mom was not happy either. She made Ben come back and say sorry. He had to help fix the window. He did not like that. He learned a lesson. He should not be rude. +Lisa and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big bed with a blue sheet. + +One day, Lisa and Ben are bored. They want to have some fun. They see the blue sheet on the bed. They have an idea. + +"Let's make a tent with the sheet!" Lisa says. + +"Good idea!" Ben says. + +They take the sheet and tie it to the chairs and the table. They make a big tent. They crawl inside. They pretend they are camping. + +They have fun for a while. They tell stories and jokes. They laugh and giggle. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She is angry. + +"What are you doing with the sheet?" she yells. "You made a big mess! You ruined the sheet! It has holes and stains!" + +She pulls the sheet away. She throws it in the trash. She scolds Lisa and Ben. She tells them to go to bed without dinner. + +Lisa and Ben are sad. They cry. They hug each other. + +They wish their mom was more compassionate. They wish she would care about their feelings. They wish they had a new sheet. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the snow. One day, they decided to build an igloo. They worked hard, making snowballs and stacking them. They made a door and a window. They were very proud of their igloo. + +"Look, our igloo is done!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and cozy!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben agreed. "Let's go inside and have a snack!" + +They went inside their igloo and ate some cookies and milk. They were happy and warm. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was Max, the mean boy from next door. He saw their igloo and wanted to ruin it. He threw a big snowball at their window. It broke the window and hit Lily in the face. She cried. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouted. "That's not nice!" + +Max laughed. He threw another snowball at their door. It knocked down some of the snowballs and made a hole. He tried to get inside their igloo. + +"Go away, Max!" Lily said. "This is our igloo, not yours!" + +Max did not listen. He pushed his way inside their igloo. He saw their cookies and milk and grabbed them. He ate them all and spilled the milk. He made a mess. + +"Ha ha, these are mine now!" Max said. "Your igloo is stupid and ugly!" + +Lily and Ben were very angry and sad. They did not know what to do. They wished Max would leave them alone. + +But then, they saw something outside. It was a big, beautiful flower. It had bloomed in the snow. It was red and yellow and smelled nice. It was a miracle. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "A flower in the snow!" + +"How did that happen?" Ben wondered. "It's so pretty and amazing!" + +They forgot about Max and ran outside to see the flower. They touched it gently and smelled it. They smiled. + +Max saw the flower too. He was surprised and curious. He wanted to see it. He followed Lily and Ben outside. He reached for the flower. + +But then, the flower did something unexpected. It squirted water at Max. It soaked him and made him cold and wet. He screamed. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Max said. "What is this? A trick flower?" + +Lily and Ben laughed. They realized the flower was not a real flower. It was a toy flower. Someone had planted it in the snow as a joke. They did not know who, but they were glad. + +"Ha ha, that's what you get, Max!" Lily said. "You are mean and rude!" + +"Yeah, you should learn to be nice and share!" Ben said. "Or else, the flower will get you!" + +Max was ashamed and scared. He dropped the cookies and milk and ran away. He did not bother Lily and Ben anymore. + +Lily and Ben hugged each other. They were happy and proud. They had their igloo and their flower. They had each other. They had fun. +Lila and Sam were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw some fish and crabs and shells. They were very happy. + +One day, they saw something big and gray jump out of the water. It had a long nose and a curved tail. It made a loud noise like "ee-ee-ee". Lila and Sam were scared. They ran to their mom and dad and asked, "What is that?" + +Mom and dad smiled and said, "That is a dolphin. A dolphin is a friendly animal that lives in the sea. It likes to swim and play and talk to other dolphins. Sometimes it jumps out of the water to say hello." + +Lila and Sam wanted to see the dolphin again. They went back to the water and waved their hands. The dolphin saw them and came closer. It looked at them with kind eyes and made a soft noise like "ee-ee-ee". Lila and Sam laughed and said, "Hello, dolphin!" + +The dolphin was compassionate. It sensed that Lila and Sam were curious and gentle. It let them touch its nose and tail. It gave them a ride on its back. It showed them some tricks and games. Lila and Sam had so much fun. They thanked the dolphin and said, "Goodbye, dolphin!" + +The dolphin was happy too. It had made new friends. It waved its tail and jumped out of the water one last time. It made a loud noise like "ee-ee-ee". Lila and Sam clapped and cheered. They never forgot the dolphin. They hoped to see it again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were kings and queens. Lily had a crown made of flowers and Ben had a stick for a sword. + +"Guard, guard, come here!" Lily called to Ben. "I need you to order some food for me. I am very hungry." + +"Yes, your majesty," Ben said. He ran to the snack stand and asked for a sandwich and a juice. He paid with some coins he had in his pocket. + +He brought the food back to Lily and bowed. "Here you are, your majesty. A sandwich and a juice for you." + +"Thank you, guard," Lily said. She took a bite of the sandwich and sipped the juice. "This is very good. You are a good guard." + +Ben smiled. He was happy to make Lily happy. He looked around and saw a fat cat sitting on a bench. The cat was licking its paw and looked very lazy. + +"Look, your majesty, a fat cat!" Ben said. "Do you want to pet it?" + +Lily nodded. She loved animals. She put down her sandwich and juice and walked to the bench. She reached out her hand to touch the cat. + +But the cat did not like strangers. It hissed and scratched Lily's hand. Lily cried out and ran back to Ben. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily said. "The cat hurt me!" + +Ben hugged Lily and looked at her hand. It had a small cut and some blood. He took a napkin and wrapped it around her hand. + +"Don't worry, your majesty, it's not a big wound. It will heal soon," Ben said. "The cat was mean. It did not want to be friends." + +Lily sniffed and wiped her tears. She looked at Ben and smiled. + +"Thank you, guard," Lily said. "You are a good friend." +Lila and Ben are playing with blocks in the garden. They are building a big tower with many colors. Lila likes the yellow blocks the most. She says they are like the sun. + +"Can I have that yellow block, please?" she asks Ben. + +"No, this is mine. You have many yellow blocks already," Ben says. He puts the yellow block on top of the tower. + +Lila feels angry. She wants the yellow block. She tries to take it from the tower, but Ben stops her. + +"Stop it, Lila! You will make the tower fall!" he says. + +Lila does not listen. She pulls the yellow block hard. The tower wobbles and then falls down. The blocks scatter on the ground. Lila and Ben are both sad. They worked hard to build the tower. + +"Why did you do that, Lila? You ruined our tower!" Ben says. He has tears in his eyes. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I wanted the yellow block. It was not fair that you had it," Lila says. She feels sorry too. + +"But Lila, we can share the blocks. They are not only mine or yours. They are ours. We can build another tower together, if you want," Ben says. + +Lila thinks for a moment. She realizes that Ben is right. She hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. You are a good friend. Let's build another tower. And I will share my yellow blocks with you." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend too. Let's build a bigger and better tower. And I will share my blue blocks with you. They are like the sky." + +Lila and Ben pick up the blocks and start to build again. They are happy and they forget their bitter fight. They prevent another tower from falling by sharing and caring. +Sara was lonely. She had no friends to play with at school. She liked to draw and color, but the other kids did not. They liked to run and shout and push. Sara wished she had a friend who liked to draw and color too. + +One day, Sara saw a poster on the wall. It said: "Decorate a ticket and win a prize! The best ticket will get a trip to the zoo with a friend!" Sara loved the zoo. She wanted to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants. She wanted to have a friend to go with her. + +Sara ran to the art room and got a paper and some crayons. She started to decorate her ticket. She drew a big rainbow and a happy sun and a smiling flower. She wrote her name and the word "zoo" in big letters. She was very proud of her ticket. + +She went to the teacher and gave her the ticket. The teacher smiled and said: "What a beautiful ticket, Sara! You did a great job! I will put it on the wall with the others. The winner will be announced tomorrow. Good luck!" + +Sara felt happy. She hoped she would win the prize. She hoped she would find a friend who liked to draw and color too. She went back to her seat and waited for the bell to ring. She was not lonely anymore. She had a ticket to the zoo. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. Sometimes they found shiny stones or pretty flowers. + +One day, they saw a big root sticking out of the ground. It was brown and rough and had tiny hairs on it. Ben wondered what it was. + +"Maybe it is a snake," he said. + +Lily was scared of snakes. She shook her head. + +"No, it is not a snake. It is a root. A root is part of a plant. It grows under the ground and drinks water." + +"How do you know?" Ben asked. + +"My mom told me. She is honest. She does not tell lies." + +Ben was curious. He wanted to touch the root and see how it felt. He reached out his hand and grabbed the root. It was hard and cold. + +He pulled on the root and tried to take it out of the ground. But the root was strong and did not move. Ben pulled harder and harder. He made a funny face and grunted. + +Lily watched him and laughed. + +"Ben, you are silly. You cannot take out the root. It is too big and too deep. You will hurt yourself." + +Ben did not listen. He was stubborn. He thought he could do anything. He opened his mouth and bit the root. + +"Ow!" he cried. He let go of the root and put his hand on his mouth. He felt a sharp pain in his teeth. He saw blood on his tongue. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. + +"Ben, are you okay? Why did you bite the root? That was a bad idea. The root is not food. It is dirty and hard. You should not bite it." + +Ben felt sorry. He was foolish. He should have listened to Lily. She was smart and kind. He nodded and said. + +"I am sorry, Lily. You were right. It was a root, not a snake. It was not food, either. It was dirty and hard. I should not have bitten it. I was silly and stubborn. You are smart and kind. And honest, too. You do not tell lies." + +Lily smiled and kissed his cheek. + +"It is okay, Ben. I forgive you. You are my friend. Come on, let us go inside and wash your mouth. Maybe mom has some ice cream for us." +Tom and Anna like to play quiz games. They have cards with pictures and words. One of them shows a card and asks a question. The other one tries to answer. + +One day, they play quiz with their mom. Mom shows them a card with a big red fruit. She asks, "What is this?" + +Tom says, "It is an apple!" + +Mom says, "Very good, Tom! You are smart!" + +Anna says, "It is not an apple! It is a tomato!" + +Mom says, "No, Anna, it is an apple. A tomato is smaller and softer." + +Anna gets angry. She says, "You are wrong, mom! It is a tomato! Tom is wrong, too! He is silly!" + +Mom says, "Anna, don't be rude. It is not nice to call people wrong or silly. You can make a mistake, but you should not be mean." + +Anna feels ashamed. She knows mom is right. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Tom. I was mean. Can we play quiz again?" + +Mom says, "Of course, Anna. I'm glad you said sorry. We all make mistakes sometimes. But we can learn from them and be kind." + +Tom says, "It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. Let's play quiz again. I like to play quiz with you and mom." + +Anna smiles. She says, "Me too, Tom. I like to play quiz with you and mom. You are smart and kind." + +They hug and play quiz again. They have fun and learn new things. +Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look, our snowman is smiling!" Lila said. + +"Yes, he is! He likes us!" Ben said. + +They wanted to make a house for their snowman. They found some big squares of wood and some nails. They tried to put the squares together, but it was hard. They hit their fingers with the hammer. They made a lot of noise. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila said. + +"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Ben said. + +They did not give up. They made a small house with four walls and a roof. They put their snowman inside. They thought he would be warm and cozy. + +"Look, our snowman has a house!" Lila said. + +"Yes, he does! He is lucky!" Ben said. + +They wanted to go inside their house too. They crawled through a small hole. They sat next to their snowman. They felt very dizzy. They did not know why. + +"Are you dizzy, Lila?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I am, Ben. Are you?" Lila asked. + +"Yes, I am, Lila. Why are we dizzy?" Ben asked. + +They did not know that the squares of wood had paint on them. The paint smelled bad. It made them dizzy. They did not feel good. + +They also did not know that their snowman was shivering. He was cold and sad. He did not like the house. He wanted to be outside. He wanted to see the sun and the sky. He wanted to be free. + +He wished Lila and Ben would go away. He wished they would take their house with them. He wished he could smile again. +Anna and her mom went to the big city for a fun day. They saw many things, like tall buildings, big parks, and noisy cars. Anna liked the city, but she also missed her home and her dad. + +After they had lunch, they wanted to go back to the train station. But they could not find a taxi. They walked and walked, but all the taxis were full or busy. Anna's mom started to look worried. She said they had to hurry, or they would miss the train. + +Anna saw a yellow taxi on the other side of the street. She thought it was empty. She let go of her mom's hand and ran across the street. She did not look for cars. She wanted to get the taxi for her mom. + +But the taxi was not empty. There was a man inside. He was not nice. He saw Anna and grabbed her. He said he would take her away. Anna was scared. She screamed for her mom. + +Her mom heard her scream. She saw the taxi and the man. She was scared too. She ran after the taxi. She shouted for help. She hoped someone would stop the taxi. + +A police car was nearby. It heard the scream and the shout. It saw the taxi and the man. It turned on its lights and sirens. It chased the taxi. It caught the taxi. It stopped the taxi. + +The police got out of the car. They opened the taxi door. They took the man out. They put him in handcuffs. They took Anna out. They gave her to her mom. + +Anna and her mom hugged each other. They were happy and relieved. They thanked the police. The police said they were glad they could help. They said they would take them to the train station. + +Anna and her mom got in the police car. They waved goodbye to the taxi and the man. They said they would never forget this day. They said they loved each other. They said they wanted to go home and see dad. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cake on a table. It looks tasty. They want to eat some. + +"Let's get some cake," Lily says. + +"OK, but we have to be fast," Tom says. + +They run to the table. But there is a problem. There are other kids at the park. They also want cake. They see Lily and Tom. + +"Hey, that's our cake!" one kid shouts. + +"No, it's not! It's ours!" Lily shouts back. + +They start to fight. They push and pull and yell. They have a war for the cake. + +But while they fight, a dog comes. The dog is hungry. He smells the cake. He jumps on the table. He eats the cake. All of it. + +The kids stop fighting. They look at the dog. They are sad and angry. + +"Bad dog! You ate our cake!" they say. + +The dog wags his tail. He is happy. He thinks the cake was tasty. He runs away. +Tom was a boy who liked to talk a lot. He always had many words to say to his friends, his family and his teachers. Sometimes he talked so much that he forgot to listen to others or to be polite. + +One day, Tom had a big test at school. He studied very hard the night before and went to bed early. But he was so excited that he could not sleep well. He had many words in his head that he wanted to say in the morning. + +When the sun came up, Tom woke up and jumped out of bed. He ran to the bathroom and brushed his teeth. He did not notice that his sister was still sleeping in the next room. He shouted his words very loud: "I am ready for the test! I know all the answers! I am the smartest boy in the class!" + +His sister woke up and was very angry. She told him to be quiet and to let her sleep. She said he was rude and selfish. Tom did not listen to her. He kept shouting his words until his mother came and told him to stop. + +Tom felt embarrassed. He realized that he had disturbed his sister and his mother. He also realized that he had not been nice or humble. He said sorry to his sister and his mother. He learned that words are good, but only when they are used with respect and kindness. He decided to talk less and listen more. He went to school and did well on the test, but he did not boast or brag. He was happy and so were his friends, his family and his teachers. +Tim and Lily liked to play hockey with their friends. They had sticks and a ball and two goals. They wore helmets and pads to be safe. They had fun and learned to share and work together. + +One day, Tim and Lily saw a new kid in the park. His name was Max and he had a big hockey stick and a shiny helmet. He asked if he could play with them. Tim and Lily said yes, but they were a little scared of Max. He looked strong and fast. + +Max joined Tim's team and they started to play. But Max was not nice. He hit the ball very hard and did not pass to his teammates. He pushed and shoved the other kids and made them fall. He scored many goals, but he did not cheer or say good job. He only said "I am the best!" + +Lily and her team were sad and angry. They did not like Max. They wanted to stop playing. But Tim had an idea. He whispered to his team and they nodded. They decided to reverse their game. + +They played again, but this time, they did not try to score in Max's goal. They tried to score in their own goal. They passed the ball to Max and let him shoot. They pretended to be clumsy and slow. They said "Wow, Max, you are so good!" + +Max was confused and happy. He thought he was winning. He did not notice that he was scoring in the wrong goal. He did not notice that the other kids were laughing at him. He did not notice that he was being silly. + +Tim and Lily and their friends had fun and taught Max a lesson. They showed him that hockey is not about being the best, but about being a good sport. They showed him that being mean and rude is not cool, but being kind and respectful is. They showed him that hockey is a delicate game, where you need to be careful and gentle with yourself and others. They hoped that Max would learn and change. They hoped that he would be their friend. +Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find bugs. Sam found a big worm and showed it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily, a worm! It is very long, maybe ten inches!" Sam said. + +Lily looked at the worm and smiled. She liked worms too. They were soft and wiggly. + +"Can I hold it, Sam?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily, but be gentle. Worms are our friends. They help the plants grow," Sam said. + +He gave the worm to Lily. She held it in her hand and felt it move. + +"Hello, worm. You are very nice. Do you have a name?" Lily said. + +The worm did not answer. It just wiggled some more. + +Sam and Lily decided to make a home for the worm. They dug a bigger hole and put some leaves and dirt in it. They made it very tidy and cozy. + +"Here, worm, this is your home. You can stay here and be safe," Sam said. + +He put the worm in the hole and covered it with more leaves. + +"Bye, worm. We will come back and visit you. We will protect you from the birds and the cats," Lily said. + +They waved to the worm and went to find more bugs. They had a lot of fun in the garden. +Lily and Sam love to play outside. They like to run, jump, and make noise. One day, they hear a loud sound in the sky. They look up and see a helicopter. It is big and red and has a spinning thing on top. + +"Wow!" Lily says. "Look at the helicopter! It is so cool!" + +"Can we go see it?" Sam asks. "Maybe it will land here." + +They run to the fence and watch the helicopter. It flies closer and closer. They can see the people inside. They wave and shout hello. + +The helicopter lands on the grass. The people get out and smile. They are wearing yellow suits and helmets. They have a big hose and a tank. + +"Hello, kids!" one of them says. "We are firefighters. We are here to fill up our tank with water. There is a fire in the forest and we need to put it out." + +"Firefighters are brave!" Lily says. "They help people and animals." + +"That's right!" another one says. "Do you want to see our helicopter?" + +"Yes, please!" Sam says. + +The firefighters take Lily and Sam to the helicopter. They show them the seats, the buttons, and the spinning thing. They let them wear the helmets and talk on the radio. + +Lily and Sam have fun. They feel like they are flying. They thank the firefighters for letting them see the helicopter. + +The firefighters finish filling up their tank. They say goodbye to Lily and Sam. They get back in the helicopter and start the engine. + +"Be careful!" Lily and Sam say. "Put out the fire!" + +The helicopter lifts off the ground. It flies away to the forest. Lily and Sam watch it until it is a small dot in the clear sky. They clap and cheer. + +They go back to their house. They tell their mom and dad about the helicopter. They draw pictures of it with crayons. They pretend to be firefighters and save the day. + +They are happy. They had a great adventure. They hope to see the helicopter again. +Lily and Ben like to go to the shop with Mum. They see many things they want, like toys and sweets and books. But Mum says they can only choose one thing each. Lily and Ben have to be patient and wait for Mum to pay. + +One day, they go to the shop and see a big cake. It has pink icing and sprinkles and candles. Lily and Ben want the cake very much. They ask Mum if they can have it. Mum says no, the cake is for someone else's birthday. Lily and Ben are sad and angry. + +They have an idea. They sneak behind Mum and try to grab the cake. But Mum sees them and stops them. She says they are naughty and they have to put the cake back. She says they can't have anything from the shop today. Lily and Ben are very sorry. They say they are sorry to Mum and to the shop lady. They say they will be good and patient next time. + +Mum hugs them and says she loves them. She says they can have a small treat at home. She says they have to learn to prevent themselves from doing bad things. Lily and Ben nod and say they will. They hold Mum's hand and leave the shop. They hope the birthday person will like the cake. +Ben was sad. He did not get an invitation to Sam's birthday party. Sam was his best friend. They liked to play with cars and trucks. Why did Sam not want him to come? + +He asked his mom. She said, "Maybe Sam's mom forgot to give you one. Or maybe she did not have enough invitations. Or maybe Sam is mad at you for something. You can ask him tomorrow at school." + +Ben sighed. He did not like any of those reasons. He wanted to go to Sam's birthday party. He wanted to eat cake and play games and get a goodie bag. He did not want to stay home and be bored. + +The next day, he saw Sam at school. He walked up to him and said, "Hi, Sam. Can I talk to you?" + +Sam looked at him and smiled. He said, "Hi, Ben. Sure, what do you want to say?" + +Ben felt nervous. He said, "I did not get an invitation to your birthday party. Did you forget me? Or are you mad at me?" + +Sam looked surprised. He said, "No, I did not forget you. And I am not mad at you. You are my best friend. I gave you an invitation yesterday. I put it in your backpack. Did you not see it?" + +Ben felt confused. He said, "No, I did not see it. I did not look in my backpack. I was too sad." + +Sam said, "Well, look now. It is there. I promise. And please come to my birthday party. It will be fun. We will have a fierce dinosaur theme. And you can wear a dinosaur hat. And we can roar like dinosaurs." + +Ben looked in his backpack. He found the invitation. It had a picture of a fierce dinosaur on it. It said, "You are invited to Sam's dinosaur birthday party. Roar!" + +Ben felt happy. He said, "Thank you, Sam. I am sorry I did not see it. I will come to your birthday party. It sounds awesome. I love dinosaurs. And I love you. You are my best friend." + +Sam said, "I love you too, Ben. You are my best friend. And I am sorry you were sad. But now you can be happy. And we can roar like dinosaurs." + +They hugged and roared. They were happy. They were best friends. They were fierce dinosaurs. +Ben and Lily were playing in the forest. They liked to find sticks and leaves and make things with them. Ben made a hat with a big leaf and a twig. Lily made a necklace with some berries and a vine. + +"Look at my hat!" Ben said. "It is green and cool." + +"Look at my necklace!" Lily said. "It is red and pretty." + +They were happy and proud of their things. + +But then a big dog came. It was angry and loud. It barked and ran at them. Ben and Lily were scared and ran away. The dog chased them and caught Ben's hat. It tore it with its teeth. Ben cried. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" Lily shouted. "Give back Ben's hat!" + +The dog growled and shook its head. It tore the hat some more. Lily threw a stick at the dog. The dog dropped the hat and ran after the stick. Ben and Lily ran to the hat. It was broken and ripped. + +"Ben, I'm sorry," Lily said. "Your hat is gone." + +Ben sniffed. "It's okay, Lily. You tried to help me." + +They hugged each other. They were sad but glad they were safe. They went back to their home. They told their mom what happened. She hugged them and gave them cookies. She said they were brave and kind. She said they could make new things tomorrow. They smiled and ate their cookies. They were still friends. +Tom and Mia were having breakfast with their mom. They liked to eat toast with butter and jam. But today, the butter was too hard and the jam was too runny. + +"Mom, I can't spread the butter. It's too hard. It hurts my knife," Tom complained. + +"Me too, Mom. And the jam is too runny. It drips on my plate and makes a mess," Mia complained. + +Mom smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Tom and Mia. The butter is hard because it was in the fridge. The jam is runny because it was in the sun. But don't worry, I have a solution." + +Mom took the butter and put it in a wide bowl. She put the bowl in the microwave and pressed a button. The microwave made a beep sound and the butter became soft and melty. + +Mom took the jam and put it in a small pot. She put the pot on the stove and turned on the fire. The jam bubbled and thickened. + +Mom took the butter and the jam and brought them to the table. She spread the butter and the jam on the toast and gave them to Tom and Mia. + +"Here you go, Tom and Mia. Now you can enjoy your toast with butter and jam. They are soft and sweet and yummy," Mom said. + +Tom and Mia took a bite of their toast and smiled. They liked the butter and the jam. They thanked Mom and said, "You are the best, Mom. You always fix our problems." +Lily liked to sing. She sang all the time. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang loud and happy songs. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, do you want to go to the opera with me? The opera is a place where people sing very interesting songs. They wear fancy clothes and act out stories with their voices." + +Lily was curious. She wanted to see the opera. She said, "Yes, mom, I want to go to the opera. What do I need to do?" + +Her mom said, "You need to prepare, Lily. You need to wear a nice dress and shoes. You need to be quiet and listen when the people sing. You need to clap when they finish. Can you do that?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I can do that, mom. I can prepare. I can wear a nice dress and shoes. I can be quiet and listen. I can clap. I want to hear the interesting songs." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Good, Lily. I'm glad you want to go to the opera with me. I think you will like it. It will be fun and beautiful." + +They prepared together. They put on their nice dresses and shoes. They took a bus to the opera house. They found their seats. They waited for the show to start. + +Lily was excited. She saw the big stage, the bright lights, the colorful curtains. She heard the music, the voices, the applause. She watched the people sing and act. She felt the emotions, the drama, the joy. + +She liked the opera. She thought it was very interesting. She clapped and cheered with her mom. She sang along in her head. She dreamed of being on the stage one day. She was happy. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. On Tuesday, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it. + +"Me first!" Lily says. She climbs up the ladder and slides down. She laughs and feels happy. + +"Me too!" Max says. He follows Lily and slides down. He smiles and feels happy. + +They take turns sliding and having fun. But then, they notice a problem. There is only one slide, and other kids want to play too. + +"Hey, move!" a boy says. He pushes Max off the ladder. Max falls and hurts his knee. He cries and feels sad. + +"Stop!" Lily says. She is angry at the boy. She tries to help Max, but the boy pushes her too. Lily falls and hurts her elbow. She cries and feels sad. + +Their moms hear them and come to see what is wrong. They see the boy being mean and the slide being busy. They hug Lily and Max and give them soft kisses. They tell them they are sorry and they love them. + +"Let's go somewhere else," Lily's mom says. "There is a nice swing over there. Do you want to try it?" + +"Yes, please," Lily and Max say. They hold hands and walk to the swing. They forget the boy and the slide. They swing and have fun. They laugh and feel happy. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. Sara wants to feed the ducks. She has some bread in her bag. + +"Look, Ben, the ducks are hungry. Let's give them some bread," Sara says. + +"OK, Sara, but be careful. The pond is deep and wet. Don't fall in," Ben says. + +Sara and Ben walk to the edge of the pond. They break the bread into small pieces and throw them to the ducks. The ducks quack and swim and eat the bread. Sara and Ben laugh and clap. + +Sara sees a small duck that is far from the others. It looks sad and scared. Sara wants to help the duck. She leans over the pond and reaches out her hand. + +"Come here, little duck. I have some bread for you. Don't be afraid," Sara says. + +But Sara leans too far and slips. She falls into the pond with a splash. The water is cold and wet. Sara cries and kicks. She can't swim. + +"Help, Ben, help! I'm wet and cold. I can't breathe," Sara shouts. + +Ben hears Sara and runs to the pond. He sees Sara in the water. He is scared but brave. He grabs a big stick and holds it out to Sara. + +"Sara, grab the stick. I will pull you out. Don't let go," Ben says. + +Sara sees the stick and grabs it. Ben pulls hard and Sara comes out of the pond. She is wet and shivering. Ben hugs her and rubs her back. + +"Sara, are you OK? You scared me. You are very wet. We need to go home and change," Ben says. + +Sara nods and coughs. She is glad that Ben rescued her. She sees the small duck swimming to her. It quacks and nuzzles her hand. It is happy and grateful. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. And thank you, little duck. You are cute and sweet. I'm sorry I fell in. I hope you are not hungry anymore," Sara says. + +Ben and Sara smile and pet the duck. Then they go home and tell their mom what happened. Their mom is worried but proud. She gives them dry clothes and hot chocolate. She says they are brave and kind. She says they can go back to the park another day. Sara and Ben hug their mom and sip their chocolate. They are happy and warm. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they pretended to be animals and made noises. + +"Roar! I am a tiger!" Ben said, as he chased Lily with his arms out. + +"Meow! I am a cat!" Lily said, as she ran away from Ben. + +They laughed and had fun, until they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and gray, and it made a loud noise. + +"Uh-oh, it is going to rain!" Lily said, looking up. + +"Let's go home!" Ben said, grabbing the ball. + +They ran to their bikes, but before they could get on, the rain started to fall. It was cold and wet, and it made them shiver. + +"Help! We are wet!" Lily and Ben cried. + +They saw a man walking by with a big umbrella. He smiled and came over to them. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you need some help?" he asked. + +"Yes, please. Can you provide us with your umbrella?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, I can. Here, you can share it with me. Where do you live?" he asked. + +"We live over there, in the yellow house. Thank you, mister!" Ben said. + +They walked with the man, who held the umbrella over them. They felt warm and dry, and they thanked him again. + +"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad I could help. You have a nice day!" he said, as he left them at their door. + +Lily and Ben waved goodbye, and went inside. They told their mom what happened, and she gave them some hot chocolate and cookies. + +They felt happy and cozy, and they decided to play with their stuffed animals. They had a tiger and a cat, and they made them talk to each other. + +"Roar! I am a tiger!" the tiger said. + +"Meow! I am a cat!" the cat said. + +They hugged their toys, and smiled. They had a good day, even if it was wet. +Tom and Jen were friends who liked to play soccer. They wanted to win a trophy for their team. They practiced a lot and learned how to kick, pass and score. + +One day, they had a big game against another team. The other team was very rude and ignorant. They called Tom and Jen names and pushed them. They did not play fair. + +Tom and Jen did not like that. They decided to move fast and work together. They used their skills and scored many goals. The other team could not stop them. + +At the end of the game, Tom and Jen's team won. They were very happy and proud. They got a shiny trophy and held it high. The other team was sad and angry. They learned a lesson. + +Tom and Jen hugged and cheered. They shared the trophy with their team. They were good friends and good players. They had fun playing soccer. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. Lily liked the penguins best. They were black and white and had funny beaks. They swam in the water and waddled on the ice. + +"Can I buy a penguin, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, you can't buy a penguin. They belong to the zoo. But you can buy a toy penguin at the gift shop, if you want," Mom said. + +Lily nodded and smiled. She wanted a toy penguin to play with at home. She followed Mom to the gift shop. There were many toys there, like bears, tigers, and giraffes. But Lily only looked for penguins. + +She found one that was soft and fluffy. But it was not black and white. It was pink. + +"Look, Mom, a pink penguin!" Lily said. + +Mom looked and laughed. "That's a very special penguin, Lily. Do you like it?" + +"Yes, I love it! Can I buy it, please?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, honey. It's your choice. Let's go pay for it," Mom said. + +Lily hugged the pink penguin and thanked Mom. She was very happy. She named the pink penguin Rosie. She showed Rosie to Ben, who liked it too. They played with Rosie and the other toys on the way home. Lily and Ben had a fun day at the zoo. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a colorful wire that she can bend and twist into different shapes. Ben has a toy phone that he can call his friends with. + +"Look, Ben, I made a flower with my wire!" Anna says, holding up her wire. "It is red and yellow and green. Do you like it?" + +Ben nods, but he is more interested in his phone. He presses a button and pretends to call his friend Sam. + +"Hi, Sam, this is Ben. Do you want to play with me?" he says into the phone. + +Anna feels left out. She wants Ben to play with her and her wire. She tries to get his attention. + +"Ben, Ben, look at me!" she says, waving her wire. "I can make a star, too. See?" + +But Ben does not look at her. He is too busy talking to Sam. + +"Sorry, Anna, I can't hear you. I'm talking to Sam. He has a new bike. It is blue and shiny. He says it is very fast." + +Anna gets angry. She thinks Ben is being rude and mean. She wants to make him stop talking to Sam. She has an idea. She takes her wire and sneaks behind Ben. She wraps her wire around his phone and pulls it away from his ear. + +"Hey, give me back my phone!" Ben shouts, turning around. "That's not nice!" + +Anna laughs and runs away with his phone. She thinks it is funny. + +"Ha ha, now you can't talk to Sam. You have to play with me and my wire!" she says. + +Ben chases after her. He wants his phone back. He thinks she is being naughty. + +"Stop, Anna, stop! That's my phone! Give it back!" he says. + +They run around the living room, fighting over the phone and the wire. They make a lot of noise and mess. They do not notice that their mom is watching them from the kitchen. She is not happy. She decides to teach them a lesson. She walks into the living room and takes the phone and the wire from them. + +"Enough, you two!" she says, in a stern voice. "You are not playing nicely. You are being selfish and rude. You have to share your toys and take turns. And you have to use your words, not your hands. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben look at their mom. They feel ashamed. They know they did something wrong. They nod and say sorry. + +"Sorry, mom," they say. + +"Sorry, Ben," Anna says. + +"Sorry, Anna," Ben says. + +Their mom smiles and hugs them. She gives them back their toys. + +"Good, I'm glad you are sorry. Now, why don't you play together and have fun? You can both use the phone and the wire. Maybe you can call Sam and show him your wire shapes. Or you can make a wire phone and pretend to call each other. What do you think?" + +Anna and Ben think that is a good idea. They smile and hug their mom. They say thank you. + +"Thank you, mom," they say. + +They go back to playing with their toys. They share and take turns. They use their words and their imagination. They have fun. They are happy. +Anna and Tom were going to a hotel with their mom and dad. They were very happy because they liked to sleep in a big bed and watch TV. They also liked to swim in the pool and eat ice cream. + +When they arrived at the hotel, they saw a big dog in the lobby. The dog was brown and fluffy and had a red collar. Anna and Tom wanted to pet the dog, but their mom said, "Be careful, the dog might bite." + +The dog's owner was a man who wore glasses and a suit. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, my dog is very intelligent and friendly. His name is Rex. He likes children. You can pet him if you want." + +Anna and Tom approached the dog slowly and gently. They touched his fur and his ears and his tail. The dog wagged his tail and licked their faces. Anna and Tom laughed and said, "We like Rex. He is very nice and soft." + +The man said, "I'm glad you like him. I'm here for a meeting. Rex is my helper. He can do many things. He can fetch, sit, roll over, and even count. Do you want to see?" + +Anna and Tom nodded eagerly. The man took out some treats from his pocket and gave them to Rex. He said, "Rex, how many treats do I have?" Rex barked three times. The man said, "That's right, three. Good boy. Now, how many treats do you want?" Rex barked twice. The man said, "Two? OK, here you go. You can have two treats. But you have to share one with Anna and Tom. Can you do that?" Rex nodded and took one treat in his mouth. He walked over to Anna and Tom and dropped the treat on the floor. He barked once and wagged his tail. + +Anna and Tom were amazed and delighted. They picked up the treat and broke it in half. They said, "Thank you, Rex. You are very intelligent and generous. We love you." They gave Rex a hug and a kiss. Rex licked them again and barked happily. + +The man said, "You're welcome. Rex loves you too. He likes to make new friends. Maybe we'll see you again at the hotel. Have a good time." He waved and walked away with Rex. + +Anna and Tom waved back and said, "Bye, Rex. Bye, man. Have a good meeting." They ran to their mom and dad and told them about Rex and his tricks. Their mom and dad smiled and said, "Wow, that's amazing. Rex is a very special dog. And you are very lucky to meet him. Now, let's go to our room and get ready for dinner. Maybe we'll have some ice cream later." Anna and Tom nodded and followed their mom and dad. They were very happy and excited. They couldn't wait to see what else the hotel had to offer. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big bowl of cake mix on the table. Lily wanted to stir it with a spoon. Ben wanted to stir it with his hand. They both reached for the bowl at the same time. + +"Stop!" Lily said. "You can't stir with your hand. It's dirty and messy." + +"I don't care!" Ben said. "It's fun and yummy." + +They pulled the bowl back and forth. The bowl tipped over and the cake mix spilled on the floor. Lily and Ben were scared. They heard their mom coming. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "Mom will be angry. What do we do?" + +"We have to clean it up!" Ben said. "Quick, get a cloth and a mop." + +They tried to wipe and mop the floor, but it was too sticky and gooey. The cake mix made a big mess. Their mom walked in and saw them. + +"What happened here?" she asked. "Who spilled the cake mix?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They told their mom the truth. + +"We did, mom," they said. "We were fighting over the bowl and it fell. We're sorry." + +Their mom was not happy, but she was glad they were honest. She helped them clean the floor and the bowl. She told them a lesson. + +"Next time, you have to share and take turns," she said. "And you have to follow the rules. Stirring with your hand is not a good idea. It can make you sick and waste food. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They hugged their mom and said they loved her. They promised to be good and careful. They hoped their mom would still make them a cake. +Lily and Ben were twins who lived on a farm with their mom and dad. They liked to help with the animals and the crops, but sometimes they also liked to play tricks on the farmer who worked next door. He was a harsh man who always shouted at them when they came near his land. + +One day, they decided to surprise him by hiding in his barn and making noises like a cow. They thought it would be funny to see his face when he came to feed his cows and found two children instead. They snuck into the barn and waited for him to come. + +Soon, they heard his footsteps and his grumpy voice. He opened the door and walked in with a bucket of hay. Lily and Ben mooed as loud as they could, hoping to scare him. But the farmer was not surprised at all. He looked at them and smiled. + +"Hello, Lily and Ben," he said. "I knew you were here. I saw you from my window. Do you want to help me feed the cows?" + +Lily and Ben were shocked. They had not expected him to be so nice. They felt ashamed of their trick and apologized to him. + +"We're sorry, sir," they said. "We didn't mean to bother you. We just wanted to have some fun." + +The farmer nodded and patted their heads. + +"It's okay, kids," he said. "I know you're just curious and playful. But you should be careful in the barn. It can be dangerous. And you should always ask before you enter someone else's property. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and promised to be more respectful. The farmer then invited them to help him feed the cows and showed them how to do it. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot. They also realized that the farmer was not so harsh after all. He was just lonely and busy. They decided to be his friends and visit him more often. They also decided to stop playing tricks on him and surprise him with something nice instead. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big machine with wheels and a long arm. It was digging a hole in the ground. + +"Wow, look at that machine!" Lily said. "It is so big and loud!" + +Ben nodded. He liked machines. He wanted to see how it worked. He ran towards the machine. + +"Ben, wait!" Lily shouted. "It is not safe! Come back!" + +But Ben did not listen. He was too curious. He got closer and closer to the machine. He saw a man sitting inside. The man was wearing a hat and a jacket. He looked pale and tired. + +"Hello, mister!" Ben said. "What are you doing with the machine?" + +The man looked down and saw Ben. He was surprised and scared. He stopped the machine. + +"Hey, kid, what are you doing here?" the man said. "This is a dangerous place! You should not be here!" + +He got out of the machine and picked up Ben. He carried him back to Lily. + +"I am sorry, mister," Ben said. "I just wanted to see the machine. It is so cool!" + +The man sighed. He was not angry, but he was worried. + +"It is cool, but it is also very powerful," the man said. "It can hurt you if you are not careful. You should always stay away from machines like this. They are not toys." + +Lily hugged Ben. She was glad he was safe. + +"Thank you, mister, for bringing him back," Lily said. "We are sorry for bothering you." + +The man smiled. He was glad they were okay. + +"It is okay, kids," the man said. "Just be more careful next time. And have fun in the park." + +He gave them each a high five and went back to his machine. He started it again and continued his work. + +Lily and Ben watched him for a while. They clapped their hands and cheered for him. + +"Yay, mister, you are awesome!" they shouted. + +The man heard them and waved at them. He felt happy and less pale. He liked kids. They made his day brighter. +Sara was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls in her room. She did not like to go outside or talk to other kids. She was afraid they would laugh at her or be mean to her. + +One day, she saw a big cobweb in the corner of her room. It was shiny and white and had many threads. Sara was curious and wanted to touch it. She reached out her hand and felt the soft and sticky web. + +"Hello, little girl," said a voice from the cobweb. Sara jumped back and saw a small spider sitting on the web. "Don't be scared, I won't hurt you. I'm Sam, the spider. What's your name?" + +Sara was too shy to answer. She hid behind her dolls and hoped the spider would go away. + +"Please, don't be shy. I'm lonely and I want to be your friend. I can show you how I make my web and how I catch flies. It's very fun and interesting. You can also tell me about your dolls and your games. Maybe we can play together." + +Sara peeked from behind her dolls and looked at the spider. He seemed friendly and kind. He smiled at her and waved his legs. Sara felt a little less shy and decided to give him a chance. + +"OK, I'll be your friend. My name is Sara. I like to play with my dolls and dress them up. They have different names and stories. Do you want to hear them?" + +"Yes, I do. And I'll tell you about my web and my flies. Maybe we can change some stories and learn from each other. Come closer and sit with me on the web. It's very cozy and safe." + +Sara nodded and walked slowly to the cobweb. She sat next to the spider and held one of her dolls. She felt a new feeling in her heart. She felt happy and brave. She had made a new friend. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and plant seeds. They saw a big onion in the dirt. Lila wanted to pick it up. + +"Look, Ben, a big onion!" she said. "Can we eat it?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lila, onions are not good to eat like that. They make you cry and your mouth hurt. We have to cook them first." + +Lila was sad. She liked to eat things from the garden. She saw a green thing next to the onion. It looked like a stick with a ball on top. + +"What is that, Ben?" she asked. + +Ben smiled. "That is a spring onion, Lila. It is like a small onion, but it is not so strong. You can eat it raw, like a carrot. Do you want to try?" + +Lila nodded. She pulled the spring onion out of the dirt. She brushed off the soil and bit the green part. It was crunchy and sweet. She liked it. + +"Mmm, this is good, Ben. Thank you for showing me. Do you want some?" + +Ben took a bite too. He liked it as well. They shared the spring onion and ate it all. + +They were glad they found the spring onion. It was a tasty snack. They decided to plant more seeds and see what else they could grow. They had fun in the garden. +Ben and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to look at the big calendar on the wall. The calendar had pictures of animals for each month. Ben pointed at the picture of a lion and said, "Look, Lily, a big cat!" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, a big cat. It has a mane and sharp teeth. It can chew meat." + +Ben and Lily pretended to be lions. They roared and crawled on the floor. They found a pillow and pretended it was a zebra. They bit the pillow and shook it with their heads. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was their mom, who came home from work. She saw the mess in the living room and the pillow with holes. She was not happy. She said, "Ben and Lily, what are you doing? You ruined the pillow! And why is the calendar on the floor?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They had knocked down the calendar when they were playing. The calendar was heavy and it fell with a thud. They felt sorry and scared. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were playing lions. We like the calendar. It has nice pictures." + +Mom sighed and said, "I know you like the calendar, but you have to be careful. The calendar is not a toy. It is for looking, not for playing. And the pillow is not a zebra. It is for sleeping, not for chewing. You have to respect your things and keep them clean and safe. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "We understand, mom. We are sorry. We will not do it again." + +Mom smiled and said, "It's okay. I love you, Ben and Lily. But now, you have to help me clean up the living room. And then, we can look at the calendar together and learn about the animals. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily smiled and said, "That sounds good, mom. We love you, too. And we love the animals." They hugged their mom and helped her pick up the calendar and the pillow. They learned a lesson and had fun. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and blocks. One day, they decided to play marry. They put on their mom's and dad's clothes and rings. They found a big tray in the kitchen. It was gray and shiny. + +"Let's use this as a cake," Lily said. "We can pretend it has frosting and candles." + +"OK," Max said. "But we need someone to marry us. Who can we ask?" + +They looked around the house. They saw Lily's cat, Fluffy. He was sleeping on the couch. He had gray fur and green eyes. + +"Fluffy can be the one who marries us," Max said. "He is very smart and nice." + +"Good idea," Lily said. "Let's go get him." + +They picked up Fluffy and carried him to the backyard. They put him on a chair and gave him a book. They stood in front of him and held hands. They smiled at each other. + +"Fluffy, do you want to marry us?" Lily asked. + +Fluffy opened his eyes and looked at them. He meowed. + +"I think he said yes," Max said. + +"Then we are married," Lily said. "Now we can eat the cake." + +They cut a piece of the tray and pretended to eat it. It was hard and cold, but they didn't mind. They were happy. They hugged Fluffy and thanked him. They put the tray back in the kitchen and took off the clothes and rings. They went back to the backyard and played some more. They were still best friends. And they were married. +Lily liked to help her mom in the garden. She wore a red apron with pockets to hold her tools. She had a small shovel, a rake, and a watering can. She liked to dig holes, rake the dirt, and water the plants. + +One day, she saw a shiny stone in the dirt. It was round and smooth and sparkled in the sun. She picked it up and put it in her pocket. She wanted to show it to her mom later. + +She kept digging and found more stones. Some were big, some were small, some were white, some were brown. She made a pile of them next to her hole. She thought they looked like treasure. + +She heard her mom call her name. "Lily, it's time for lunch. Come inside, please." + +Lily ran to her mom, holding her apron. She wanted to show her the shiny stone. But when she opened her pocket, it was empty. The stone had fallen out. + +She looked back at the garden. She saw her hole, her pile of stones, and her tools. She also saw something else. A red tail sticking out of the dirt. + +She realized what had happened. Her dog, Spot, had come to the garden while she was gone. He had smelled the shiny stone in her pocket. He had dug it out and buried it in her hole. He had covered it with dirt and stones. He had fallen asleep on top of it. + +Lily was sad and angry. She wanted her shiny stone back. She ran to the hole and tried to pull Spot's tail. "Spot, wake up! Give me back my stone! You are a bad dog!" + +Spot woke up and wagged his tail. He licked Lily's face. He thought she wanted to play. He did not understand why she was mad. + +Lily's mom came to the garden. She saw Lily and Spot. She saw the hole, the pile of stones, and the shiny stone. She smiled and hugged Lily. "Don't worry, sweetie. I have a surprise for you. Come inside and see." + +She took Lily and Spot inside. She showed Lily a necklace. It had a shiny stone just like the one she had found. It was a gift from her dad. He had bought it for her birthday. + +Lily was happy and surprised. She thanked her mom and dad. She put on the necklace and admired it. She forgave Spot and gave him a treat. She decided to share her other stones with him. She thought they were still treasure. +Lily and Ben are playing with cards on the table. They have to find two cards that match. Lily sees a card with a big red apple and another card with a big red apple. She picks them up and says, "Look, Ben, I have a match!" + +Ben looks at Lily's cards and smiles. He says, "Good job, Lily, you are very smart!" He looks at his cards and sees a card with a small blue bird and another card with a small blue bird.

Tom likes roses. They are red and smell nice. + +One day, they see a big sunflower in the park. It is taller than them. Lila wants to touch it. She runs to the sunflower. Tom follows her. They see a bee on the sunflower. The bee is busy. It is taking honey from the flower. + +"Look, Tom, a bee!" Lila says. "It is making honey. I like honey. Do you like honey?" + +"Yes, I like honey too," Tom says. "But we should not touch the bee. It can sting us. It can hurt." + +Lila nods. She knows bees can sting. She does not want to hurt the bee. She just wants to see it. She gets closer to the sunflower. The sunflower is open. It is smiling at the sun. Lila smiles too. She thinks the sunflower is happy. + +Suddenly, the bee flies away. It goes to another flower. Lila and Tom watch it go. They see a bird in the sky. The bird is blue and white. It is singing. It is looking for worms. + +"Look, Lila, a bird!" Tom says. "It is singing. I like singing. Do you like singing?" + +"Yes, I like singing too," Lila says. "But we should not scare the bird. It can fly away. It can be sad." + +Tom nods. He knows birds can fly away. He does not want to scare the bird. He just wants to hear it. He gets closer to the bird. The bird is on a branch. It is looking at the ground. Tom looks too. He sees a worm. The worm is wriggling. It is trying to hide. + +Suddenly, the bird dives. It goes to the ground. It catches the worm. Lila and Tom gasp. They see the bird eat the worm. They feel sorry for the worm. + +"Look, Tom, the bird ate the worm!" Lila says. "It was hungry. I am hungry too. Do you want to eat?" + +"Yes, I want to eat too," Tom says. "But we should not eat worms. They are yucky. They are not food." + +Lila agrees. She knows worms are yucky. She does not want to eat them. She wants to eat something else. She remembers her mom packed a sandwich for her. She takes out her sandwich. It is cheese and ham. She likes cheese and ham. Tom takes out his sandwich too. It is peanut butter and jelly. He likes peanut butter and jelly. + +They sit under the sunflower. They eat their sandwiches. They are happy. They thank the sunflower for the shade. They thank the bee for the honey. They thank the bird for the song. They thank the worm for the lesson. They are friends. They like to play in the park. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. Some are big, some are small, some are red, some are blue. + +One day, they decide to play a game. They pretend that their cars and trucks are weapons. They say, "We are spies. We have to stop the bad guys. They want to take our toys. We have to drive fast and shoot them." + +They make noises with their mouths. "Vroom, vroom, vroom!" "Bang, bang, bang!" They chase each other around the room. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a knock on the door. It is Mom. She says, "What are you doing, kids? It is very loud in here. Are you OK?" + +Tim and Jen stop playing. They look at Mom. They feel shy. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We are just playing. We are spies. We have weapons. We drive fast and shoot the bad guys." + +Mom smiles. She says, "I see. That sounds exciting. But you have to be careful. Weapons can be dangerous. And you have to drive safely. And you have to share your toys. OK?" + +Tim and Jen nod. They say, "OK, Mom. We will be careful. We will drive safely. We will share our toys." + +Mom says, "Good. I am proud of you. Now, can you please play a little quieter? I have to work in the other room. OK?" + +Tim and Jen say, "OK, Mom. We will play quieter. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too. Have fun, spies." She closes the door. + +Tim and Jen look at each other. They smile. They say, "Let's play again. But quieter. OK?" + +They nod. They pick up their cars and trucks. They say, "Vroom, vroom, vroom!" "Bang, bang, bang!" But softer. They have fun. +Anna and Ben were bored. They wanted to play outside, but it was raining. They looked around the house for something fun to do. They saw a magazine on the table. It had bright pictures and words on it. + +"Can we look at this?" Anna asked her mom. + +"No, you can't. That's my magazine. It's not for kids. It has important things in it. You might rip it or make it dirty. Go find something else to do," her mom said. + +"But we have nothing else to do!" Ben whined. + +"Too bad. You have to stay inside. And don't touch my magazine. I need it for work. It's very dependable. It tells me what to do and what to buy," her mom said. + +Anna and Ben were angry. They didn't like their mom's rules. They didn't think her magazine was important. They thought it was boring. They wanted to see what was in it. They waited until their mom went to the kitchen. Then they sneaked to the table and grabbed the magazine. + +"Let's see what's in here," Anna said. + +They opened the magazine and looked at the pages. They saw pictures of people and things. They didn't understand the words. They tried to read them, but they sounded funny. + +"What does this say?" Ben asked, pointing at a word. + +"I don't know. Maybe it says 'cat'," Anna guessed. + +They laughed. They thought the words were silly. They decided to make up their own words. They used a crayon and wrote on the pages. They drew faces and animals and shapes. They had fun. + +They didn't hear their mom coming back. She saw them with the magazine. She was very angry. She yelled at them. + +"What are you doing? How dare you touch my magazine? You ruined it! You wrote all over it! You made it useless! You are very bad kids! You are in big trouble!" she shouted. + +She took the magazine and the crayon from them. She threw them in the trash. She sent them to their room. She didn't permit them to play or watch TV or have a snack. She said they had to stay there until dinner. She said they had to apologize and pay for a new magazine. + +Anna and Ben were very sad. They cried. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had found something else to do. They wished they had left the magazine alone. They learned their lesson.

They liked to play and swim with their friends, but they did not like to share their fish or their toys. They always wanted to have more than the others, and they never helped to tidy up the ice land. + +One day, a big storm came and made the ice land very cold and dark. The penguins were scared and hungry, and they could not find their fish or their toys. Ben and Mia tried to look for them, but they only found each other. + +"Where are our fish and toys?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, maybe the storm took them away," Mia said. + +They looked around and saw that the other penguins were huddled together, sharing their fish and toys and keeping each other warm. They saw that the ice land was tidy and bright, because the other penguins had worked together to clean it up. + +"Maybe we should go and join them," Mia said. + +"But they will not like us, because we were mean and greedy," Ben said. + +"Maybe they will forgive us, if we say sorry and share what we have," Mia said. + +They decided to try, and they walked towards the other penguins. They said sorry for being mean and greedy, and they offered to share their fish and toys. The other penguins were surprised, but they were also kind and happy. They welcomed Ben and Mia, and they shared their fish and toys with them. They also invited them to help tidy up the ice land, and to play and swim with them. + +Ben and Mia felt warm and glad, and they learned that it is better to unite and share than to fight and hoard. They also learned that it is easier to tidy up the ice land when they work together. They became good friends with the other penguins, and they lived happily in the big ice land. +Lily likes to look at magazines. She sees many things in them. She sees people, animals, toys, and clothes. She likes to copy what she sees.

She tries to wrap it around her. But it is too big and heavy. She falls down and makes a mess. She hears her mom coming. She tries to hide under the sheet. But her mom sees her. + +"What are you doing, Lily?" her mom asks. She sees the magazine and the sheet. She smiles. She understands what Lily was trying to do. She says, "You are very creative, Lily. But this sheet is not a dress. It is for sleeping. Let me help you clean up. And then we can look for a real dress for you. Maybe we can find one that looks like the one in the magazine. Would you like that?" + +Lily nods. She is happy. She says, "Yes, please. Thank you, mom. I love you." She hugs her mom. She still likes to look at magazines. But she knows that they are not real. She knows that her mom can help her find real things that make her happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big box with a lock on it. They said it was full of gold and jewels. + +"Arr, matey, we need the key to open the lock," Tom said. + +"I have the key, captain," Lily said. She took out a shiny metal key from her pocket. + +"Good work, Lily. Let's see what's inside the box," Tom said. He put the key in the lock and turned it. The lock clicked and the box opened. + +They looked inside the box. There was no gold or jewels. There was only a modest gift wrapped in paper. + +"What is this?" Tom asked. + +Lily picked up the gift and read the tag. It said: "To Lily and Tom, from Grandma. Happy birthday, my little pirates. I love you." + +Lily smiled. She gave the gift to Tom. + +"It's our birthday today. Grandma sent us a present. Let's see what it is," she said. + +They tore the paper and opened the gift.
