Finally, they found the one with bones and Max wore it proudly on his neck. +Once upon a time, there was a big cave. It was dark and scary, but also impressive. One day, a little girl named Lily went on an adventure to explore the cave. She brought a flashlight to help her see. + +As she walked inside the cave, she heard a strange noise.

Blue loved to fly high in the sky and feel the wind in his feathers. He dreamed of soaring over the big bridge that connected two sides of the river. + +One day, Blue decided to try and fly over the bridge. He flapped his wings as hard as he could and flew up, up, up. He was almost there when he saw a big truck coming towards the bridge. He knew he had to be careful. + +Blue waited patiently until the truck passed, and then he soared over the bridge. It was a perfect moment, and Blue felt so happy that he had accomplished his dream.

One night, she was scared of the dark and wanted a light on. But the light in her room was broken. She felt uncomfortable and didn't want to sleep without a light. + +Her mommy came to help her and brought a flashlight. She turned it on and gave it to Lily. Lily felt happy and safe with the light on. She thanked her mommy for helping her. + +The light was so bright that Lily couldn't sleep. She asked her mommy to turn it off. Her mommy helped her turn the light off and tucked her into bed. Lily felt comfortable and fell asleep. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy loved playing with his toy cars and trucks. One day, Timmy's mom asked him to organize his toys.

He also put the red ones together and the blue ones together. Timmy felt proud of himself for organizing his toys. + +Later that day, Timmy and his mom went to the port to watch the big ships come in. Timmy had never been to the port before, so everything was unknown to him. He saw the big cranes lifting containers off the ships and putting them on trucks. Timmy thought it was so cool! + +After a fun day at the port, Timmy went home and looked at his toys. He smiled and said, "I organized my toys just like the containers at the port!" +Once upon a time, there was a bunny named Benny. Benny loved to hop on the path in the forest.

Why are you hanging like that?" asked Benny. + +"I was trying to get a worm for my lunch, but I got stuck," replied the bird. + +Benny felt sorry for the bird and wanted to help. He hopped up to the branch and nibbled at the worm until it broke free.

Lily whispered, "I don't know, but I want to find out!" + +Jack tried to open the box too, but it was too hard. They decided to bring the box to Lily's mom to see if she could help. When they showed her the box, she smiled and said, "I have the key to open this box!" + +Inside the box, they found a beautiful necklace made of shiny metal and green gems.

Nemo loved to swim in the big blue ocean. One day, Nemo saw a big wave coming towards him. The wave was so high that it scared Nemo. He swam as fast as he could to avoid it. + +As Nemo was swimming, he saw a turtle named Timmy. Timmy asked Nemo, "Why are you swimming so fast?" Nemo replied, "I'm scared of the big wave because it's so high!" Timmy said, "Don't be scared, just swim with me and we'll go to the toilet in the reef." + +Nemo had never been to the toilet in the reef before, but he followed Timmy.

Suddenly, it started to rain! Lily's mom told her to cover her head with her jacket so she wouldn't get wet. + +Lily asked her mom, "Can we still go on the rides at the fair?" Her mom said, "Yes, we can go when the rain stops." Finally, the rain stopped and they went on all the rides together. It was the best summer day ever! +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with purple flowers. They think it is pretty. + +They want to pick some flowers for their moms. But the tree is too tall.

Anna does not have a scarf. + +"Can I have your scarf?" Anna asks Lily. "I am cold." + +"No, you can't," Lily says. "It is my scarf. My mom gave it to me." + +"But I like pink," Anna says. "And you have a blue coat. Blue and pink do not match." + +Lily gets angry. She does not want to share her scarf. She thinks pink and blue are pretty together. + +"Go away," Lily says. "You are not my friend." + +Anna feels sad. She does not want to fight with Lily. She wants to play with her. + +"Please, Lily," Anna says. "Can we share the scarf? We can take turns. Then we can both be warm and happy." + +Lily thinks for a moment. She does not like to see Anna sad. She remembers that Anna shared her cookies with her yesterday. + +"Okay," Lily says. "We can share the scarf. But only for today. Tomorrow, you have to bring your own scarf." + +Anna smiles. She hugs Lily. They wrap the pink scarf around their necks. They run to the slide. They are friends again. +One day, Tom and Ben were playing with their cars in the park. They both liked the red car, but there was only one. Tom said, "It is my car, I saw it first." Ben said, "No, it is my car, I like it more." They started to fight over the car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +A big girl, who was walking her dog, saw them fighting. She said, "Stop it, you two. You are being foolish. You can share the car, or play with something else." Tom and Ben did not listen to her. They kept fighting. + +The big girl got angry. She took the car from them and said, "If you can't play nicely, you can't play at all." She gave the car to her dog, who ran away with it. Tom and Ben were shocked. They wanted their car back, but the dog was too fast. + +Tom and Ben felt embarrassed. They had lost their car because of their fight. They looked at each other and said, "Sorry." They decided to be friends again and play with their other cars. They learned their lesson. They did not want to be foolish again. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has a suit inside. The suit is red and blue and has a star on the chest. + +"Wow, look at this suit!" Sam says. "It looks like a superhero suit!" + +"Can I try it on?" Ben asks. + +"Okay, but be careful. It might be difficult to put on," Sam says. + +Ben takes the suit and tries to put it on. He puts his legs in the pants, but they are too long. He puts his arms in the sleeves, but they are too wide. He puts his head in the hood, but he cannot see anything. + +"Help, Sam! I cannot see!" Ben cries. + +Sam laughs and helps Ben take off the suit. He puts it on himself. It fits him better, but it is still too big. + +"Look at me, Ben! I am a superhero!" Sam says. + +"You look funny, Sam!" Ben says. + +They laugh and play with the suit. They pretend to fly and fight bad guys. They have a lot of fun. + +But then they hear their mom calling them. + +"Sam! Ben! Time for lunch!" Mom says. + +They run to the kitchen. They leave the suit in the box. + +"Did you have fun, boys?"

And you have to stay out of the garage. It is not safe for you to play there," Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom. We will ask Dad. And we will stay out of the garage," Sam says. + +They hug Mom and go to eat lunch. They are happy. They love the suit. They love their mom and dad. They love each other.

Lily was happy when she skipped. + +One day, Lily saw a chicken in the yard. It was brown and fluffy and had a red thing on its head. Lily wanted to play with the chicken. She skipped to the chicken and said, "Hello, chicken. Do you want to skip with me?" + +The chicken did not want to skip with Lily. It clucked and ran away. Lily followed the chicken. She skipped faster and faster. She did not see the fence in front of her. She skipped right into the fence and fell down. She hurt her knee and cried. + +Mom heard Lily cry and came to the yard. She saw Lily on the ground and the chicken on the other side of the fence. She picked up Lily and hugged her. She said, "Oh, Lily, you should not chase the chicken. The chicken is scared of you. You are too big and loud for the chicken. The chicken likes to peck and scratch, not to skip." + +Lily sniffed and said, "But I like to skip. Skipping is fun and easy." + +Mom smiled and said, "I know, Lily. Skipping is fun and easy for you. But not for everyone. Some animals like to do different things. And that's okay. You can skip with your friends, or with me, or by yourself. But you should leave the chicken alone. The chicken is happy in its own way." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I'm sorry, chicken. I won't bother you anymore." + +Mom kissed Lily's knee and said, "That's good, Lily. Now let's go inside and get a band-aid. And maybe a cookie." + +Lily smiled and said, "Okay, Mom. Can I skip to the house?" + +Mom laughed and said, "Sure, Lily. You can skip to the house. But be careful of the fence." + +Lily said, "I will, Mom. I will." And she skipped to the house with Mom. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and find shiny things. Sometimes they found coins, or buttons, or rocks. But today they found something different. It was a small, round thing that glowed in the sun. It was yellow and green and red, like a rainbow. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said, holding it up. "It's so pretty!" + +"What is it?" Ben asked, touching it. "It feels warm." + +"I don't know. Maybe it's a magic thing. Maybe it came from underground, where the worms and the bugs live." + +"Maybe. Do you think it can do something?" Ben wondered. + +"Let's find out. Maybe it can make a wish come true. Or maybe it can make us fly. Or maybe it can make us invisible." + +Lily and Ben decided to take the glowing thing home and try it out. They put it in their backpack and ran to their house. They were very excited and curious. They didn't know that the glowing thing was not a magic thing. It was a dangerous thing. It was a bomb. + +When they got home, they went to their room and closed the door. They took out the glowing thing and put it on the floor. They looked at it and smiled. + +"OK, let's make a wish," Lily said. "You go first." + +"OK. I wish... I wish I had a big, fluffy dog," Ben said. + +"Me too. I wish I had a big, fluffy dog," Lily said. + +They waited for a moment, but nothing happened. The glowing thing just glowed. + +"Maybe we have to say it louder," Ben suggested. + +"OK. I wish I had a big, fluffy dog!" Lily shouted. + +"I wish I had a big, fluffy dog!" Ben shouted. + +They waited for another moment, but still nothing happened. The glowing thing just glowed. + +"Maybe we have to touch it," Lily said. + +"OK. Let's touch it," Ben said. + +They reached out their hands and touched the glowing thing. It felt very warm. And then it felt very hot. And then it felt very, very hot. And then it made a loud noise. And then it exploded. + +Lily and Ben never got their big, fluffy dogs. They never got to fly, or to be invisible, or to make any other wishes. They never got to play in the park again, or to dig in the sand, or to find shiny things. They never got to grow up, or to have fun, or to be happy. They never got to do anything again. Because the glowing thing was a bomb. And bombs are bad. And bombs can hurt. And bombs can kill. +Sara was bored. She had played with all her toys and read all her books. She wanted to do something new and fun. She looked around her room and noticed her closet. She had never opened it before. Maybe there was something interesting inside. + +She got up from her bed and walked to the closet. She turned the knob and pulled the door. It was dark and dusty inside. She saw some old clothes, some boxes, and some books. She did not see anything that looked fun. She felt sad. The closet was dull. + +But then, she heard a noise. It was a soft meow. She looked closer and saw a small, furry ball under a coat. It was a kitten! She smiled and reached for it. The kitten was scared and tried to hide, but Sara was gentle and friendly. She picked up the kitten and hugged it. The kitten licked her face and purred. + +Sara was happy. She had found a new friend in the closet. She decided to name the kitten Fluffy. She brought Fluffy to her bed and played with her. She forgot about being bored. She was glad she had noticed the closet. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they got a letter from their grandma, who lived far away. The letter had a big sticker on it that said "Do not open until your birthday". Anna and Ben were very curious and excited. They wanted to know what was inside the letter. + +"Let's open it now!" Ben said. He was careless and did not listen to the sticker. He grabbed the letter and tried to tear it open. + +"No, Ben, stop!" Anna said. She was careful and wanted to follow the sticker. She tried to pull the letter away from Ben. "We have to wait until our birthday. Grandma will be sad if we spoil the surprise." + +But Ben was stronger than Anna and he ripped the letter open. He saw a card with a picture of a cake and some money inside. He smiled and said, "Look, Anna, grandma sent us a cake and money for our birthday!" + +Anna was angry and sad. She saw that the card had a note from grandma that said, "Happy birthday, my dear twins. I hope you enjoy this cake and money. I love you very much and I miss you. Please call me when you open this letter." Anna felt bad that they did not follow grandma's wish and that they spoiled the surprise. She said, "Ben, you are so careless. You ruined the letter and the surprise. Grandma wanted us to open it on our birthday and call her. Now she will think we don't care about her." + +Ben realized that he made a mistake. He felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was careless and I spoiled the surprise. I didn't think about grandma's feelings. I just wanted to see what was inside the letter. Can we fix it?" + +Anna thought for a moment. She said, "Maybe we can. Let's put the card and the money back in the letter and tape it up. Then we can hide it until our birthday and pretend we didn't open it. And we can call grandma and tell her we love her and we miss her too." + +Ben agreed. He said, "That's a good idea, Anna. Let's do that. And next time, we will be more careful and respectful of grandma's letters." + +Anna and Ben hugged and said sorry to each other. They fixed the letter and hid it under their bed. Then they called grandma and thanked her for the letter and told her they loved her and they missed her. Grandma was happy and proud of them. She said, "You are very welcome, my dear twins. I love you very much and I miss you too. I can't wait to see you on your birthday and give you a big hug." +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play and sing together. One day, they decide to perform a show for their moms and dads. They wear funny hats and scarves and make up a song. + +"Hello, hello, we are Ben and Lily. We are here to make you happy. We can sing and dance and clap. We hope you like our little rap." They sing and move around the room. + +Their moms and dads watch and smile. They clap and cheer for Ben and Lily. They are proud of their children. They give them hugs and kisses and say, "You did a great job! We loved your show!" + +Ben and Lily are happy. They are grateful for their moms and dads. They are grateful for each other. They say, "Thank you for watching our show. You are the best audience ever. We are glad you are our friends." They hug and smile. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their dolls and cars. But they do not like to share. Sometimes they fight over their toys. + +One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a bow and a tag. The tag says: "To Anna and Ben, from Grandma and Grandpa. Do not open until your birthday." + +Anna and Ben are very curious. They want to see what is inside the box. They are impatient. They try to peek and shake the box. + +"Stop it, Ben!" Anna says. "You will break it!" + +"No, you stop it, Anna!" Ben says. "You will make it noisy!" + +They start to pull and push the box. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She sees them fighting over the box. + +"What are you doing, Anna and Ben?" Mom asks. "You know you have to wait until your birthday to open the box. It is a special gift from Grandma and Grandpa. They provide it for you because they love you." + +Anna and Ben look at Mom. They feel sorry. They stop fighting. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Anna says. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Ben says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says: "It's okay. I know you are excited. But you have to be patient and respectful. Why don't you play with something else until your birthday?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say: "Okay, Mom." + +They put the box back where they found it. They go to their room. They play with their dolls and cars. They share and take turns. + +They wonder what is inside the box. They hope it is something fun. Maybe it is a new doll with long hair. Maybe it is a new car with fast wheels. They will find out soon. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had a big calendar on the wall with pictures of animals for each month. They liked to look at the animals and make noises like them. + +One day, they saw that the calendar had only one page left. It was December, and the picture was a fierce lion with a big mane. Tom and Lily wanted to see the next month, but they had to wait until the end of December. + +"Can we finish the calendar now?" Tom asked. + +"No, we have to wait," Lily said. "It's not fair." + +They were sad and bored. They decided to play a game. They pretended to be lions and roared at each other. They chased each other around the room and jumped on the bed. They had fun and forgot about the calendar. + +The next morning, they woke up and saw that it was January. They ran to the calendar and turned the page. They saw a new picture of a cute penguin with a hat and a scarf. They smiled and clapped their hands. + +"Look, it's a new year!" Lily said. + +"And a new animal!" Tom said. + +They hugged each other and made noises like penguins. They were happy and excited. They wondered what other animals they would see on the calendar. +On Wednesday, Ben and Lily had to complete a puzzle for school. It was a big puzzle with many pieces. They worked hard to find the right places for the pieces. They wanted to finish the puzzle before lunch. + +"Look, Ben, I found the piece for the sun!" Lily said, holding a yellow piece. + +"Good job, Lily! And I found the piece for the house!" Ben said, holding a red piece. + +They put the pieces together and smiled. They only had a few pieces left. + +But then, they felt very sleepy. They had woken up early and played a lot. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. + +"Ben, can we take a nap?" Lily asked. + +"OK, Lily, but only for a little bit. We have to complete the puzzle, remember?" Ben said. + +They lay down on the floor and closed their eyes. They fell asleep with the puzzle next to them. + +When they woke up, they saw their teacher standing over them. She had a big smile on her face. + +"Ben and Lily, you did a great job on the puzzle! You almost completed it! You only have one piece left. Do you know where it goes?" she asked. + +Ben and Lily looked at the puzzle and saw a hole in the middle. They looked at each other and then at the teacher. + +"It goes here!" they said together, pointing at the hole. + +They picked up the last piece and put it in the hole. It was a heart. The puzzle was complete. + +They cheered and hugged each other. They were happy and proud. + +"Wow, you are very smart and creative, Ben and Lily! You made a beautiful puzzle! And you also had a nice nap. You must be very refreshed now. How do you feel?" the teacher asked. + +"We feel great!"

One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb it. + +"Let's go, Jen!" Tim says. "We can be like soldiers and march to the top!" + +"OK, Tim!" Jen says. "But be careful. The hill is very steep and rocky." + +They start to march up the hill. They hold hands and sing a song. They are happy and ready for adventure. + +But the hill is harder than they think. They get tired and thirsty. The rocks are sharp and slippery. They fall and hurt their knees and elbows. + +"Tim, I don't like this hill," Jen says. "Let's go back." + +"No, Jen, we can do it!" Tim says. "We are almost there. Look, I see a flag!" + +Tim sees a red flag on a stick. He thinks it is a prize. He lets go of Jen's hand and runs to get it. + +But the flag is not a prize. It is a warning. The flag means danger. The flag means there is a hole. + +Tim does not see the hole. He steps on it and falls in. He screams and cries. Jen hears him and crawls to the edge. She sees Tim in the dark hole. She is scared and sad. + +"Tim, Tim, are you OK?" Jen shouts. + +But Tim does not answer. He is hurt and alone. Jen does not know what to do. She calls for help, but no one comes. She wishes they never climbed the hill. She wishes they stayed in the park. She wishes they listened to their mom. +Tom and Lily liked to play near the old factory. It was big and gray and had many windows and doors. Sometimes they saw smoke coming out of the factory, but they did not know what was inside. + +One day, they found a ball near the factory. It was red and shiny and bounced very high. Tom and Lily took turns to kick the ball and see how far it would go. + +"Kick it to me, Tom!" Lily shouted. + +Tom kicked the ball hard, but he missed Lily. The ball flew over her head and hit a window of the factory. The window broke with a loud noise. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Lily said. They were scared and ran away from the factory. + +But then they heard a voice from inside the factory. It was deep and angry and said: + +"Who did that? Who broke my window? Come here, you naughty kids!" + +Tom and Lily stopped and looked at each other. They saw a man coming out of the factory. He was big and strong and had a beard and a hat. He looked very mad. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked. + +"I am the mighty boss of the factory. I make things here. And you broke my window. That was very bad. You have to pay for it!" the man said. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and scared. They did not have any money to pay for the window. They did not mean to break it. They just wanted to play with the ball. + +"Please, sir, we are sorry. We did not mean to break your window. We just found this ball and kicked it. It was an accident. Please don't be mad at us!" Lily said. + +The man looked at the ball and then at Tom and Lily. He saw that they were just kids and that they were telling the truth. He felt a little less mad and a little more kind. + +"Well, I suppose it was an accident. But you still have to be careful. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. And you have to respect other people's property. Do you understand?" the man said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and said: + +"Yes, sir, we understand. We are sorry. We will be careful. We will respect your property." + +The man smiled and said: + +"Good. I accept your apology. And I have an idea. How about you come with me and I show you what I make in the factory? Maybe you will learn something new and have some fun." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and smiled. They liked the idea. They wanted to see what was inside the factory. They wanted to learn something new and have some fun. + +"OK, sir, we will come with you. Thank you for being nice to us. And sorry again for breaking your window." Tom and Lily said. + +The man picked up the ball and said: + +"You're welcome. And don't worry about the window. I can fix it later. Come on, follow me. And you can keep the ball. It's a gift from me. Maybe you can kick it somewhere else next time." + +Tom and Lily thanked the man and followed him into the factory. They were curious and excited. They wondered what they would see and do. They hoped they would have a good time. And they did. +Sara liked pumpkins very much. She liked to look at them, to touch them, and to carve them. She wanted to have a fancy pumpkin for Halloween. She saw a big, round, orange pumpkin in the store. She asked her mom to buy it for her. + +Mom said no. She said the pumpkin was too big and too expensive. She said they had a small pumpkin at home. Sara was sad and angry. She wanted the fancy pumpkin. She did not want the small pumpkin. + +Sara saw a man with a cart. He had many pumpkins on his cart. He was selling them to people. Sara had an idea. She ran to the man and said, "Please, give me a fancy pumpkin. I will give you something else." + +The man looked at Sara. He saw that she had a necklace around her neck. The necklace was shiny and pretty. It was a gift from her grandma. The man said, "OK, I will give you a fancy pumpkin. But you have to give me your necklace." + +Sara did not think. She wanted the fancy pumpkin so much. She took off her necklace and gave it to the man. The man gave her a fancy pumpkin. Sara was happy. She ran back to her mom with the pumpkin. + +Mom saw Sara with the pumpkin. She saw that Sara did not have her necklace. She was shocked and angry. She said, "Sara, what did you do? Where is your necklace? How did you get that pumpkin?" + +Sara told her mom what she did. Mom was very sad and disappointed. She said, "Sara, you made a big mistake. You gave away your necklace for a pumpkin. Your necklace was very special and valuable. Your grandma gave it to you. She loved you very much. You cannot get it back. The man is gone. You traded something precious for something that will rot. You were greedy and foolish." + +Sara realized what she did. She felt very sorry and ashamed. She cried and cried. She did not want the fancy pumpkin anymore. She wanted her necklace back. She wanted her grandma back. She wanted her mom to forgive her. But it was too late. She had lost her necklace and her mom's trust. She had a bad ending. +Lily liked to play with her hair. She made it long and short, curly and straight, red and blue. She used clips and ribbons, hats and scarves, brushes and combs. She had a lot of fun with her hair. + +But one day, her hair became very messy. It was tangled and dirty, and it had gum and grass in it. Lily tried to clean her hair, but it was too hard. She cried and cried, and her mom came to see what was wrong. + +"Lily, what happened to your hair?" her mom asked. + +"I was playing with it, but it got messy. I can't clean it, mom. It hurts and it looks bad," Lily said. + +"Don't worry, Lily. I know who can help you. We can go to the barber. He can clean your hair and make it nice again. Do you want to go to the barber?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded. She wanted to have clean hair again. She and her mom got in the car and drove to the barber shop. There, they met the barber. He was a friendly man with a big smile and a playful beard. + +"Hello, Lily. I'm the barber. I can clean your hair and make it beautiful. Do you want to sit in my chair?" he said. + +Lily was a little scared, but she trusted her mom and the barber. She sat in the big chair and put on a cape. The barber sprayed some water on her hair and started to comb it gently. He removed the gum and the grass, and he cut the tangled parts. He washed her hair with shampoo and conditioner, and he dried it with a towel. He asked Lily what style she wanted, and she said she wanted it long and curly, like a princess. The barber used a curling iron and some spray, and he made her hair long and curly. He put a pink ribbon on her hair, and he showed her a mirror. + +"Look, Lily. Your hair is clean and beautiful. You look like a princess. Do you like it?" he said. + +Lily looked at the mirror and smiled. She loved her hair. It was clean and beautiful, and it felt soft and smooth. She thanked the barber and gave him a hug. She and her mom left the barber shop, happy and proud. Lily felt like playing with her hair again, but this time, she would be more careful. She learned that it was important to keep her hair clean and neat. And she also learned that the barber was a nice and playful man who could help her with her hair. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big open box near the slide. They ran to the box and looked inside. There were many shiny things in the box. Lily and Tom liked shiny things. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. She picked up a necklace with a blue stone. "It is so pretty!" + +"Let me see!" Tom said. He grabbed the necklace from Lily. "I want it!" + +"No, it is mine!" Lily said. She pulled the necklace back. "You are mean!" + +They started to fight over the necklace. They did not see the man who was watching them. The man was angry. The box was his. The shiny things were his. They were very expensive. He had left the box for a moment to get a drink. He did not like that Lily and Tom were touching his things. + +He walked to the box and shouted at them. "Hey, you two! What are you doing? Get away from my box!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the necklace and tried to run away. But the man was faster. He caught them and held them tight. He was very strong. + +"You are bad kids!" he said. "You tried to steal my things! I will call the police!" + +Lily and Tom cried. They wished they had not seen the box. They wished they had not fought over the necklace. They wished they had played somewhere else. They were in big trouble. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toy vehicles in the backyard. Tim had a big red truck and Lily had a small yellow car. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road. + +"Vroom, vroom, beep, beep!" Tim said, moving his truck around. "My truck is the best vehicle. It can carry lots of things and go fast." + +"No, my car is the best vehicle," Lily said, moving her car around. "It can fit in small spaces and go faster than your truck." + +They argued for a while, each trying to prove their vehicle was better. Then they saw a big cardboard box near the fence. They had an idea. + +"Let's see who can fit their vehicle in the box first," Tim said. "That will show who has the best vehicle." + +"OK, let's do it," Lily said. "Ready, set, go!" + +They ran to the box with their vehicles. Tim tried to push his truck into the box, but it was too big. It got stuck at the opening and wouldn't go in. Lily tried to slide her car into the box, but it was too small. It went in easily, but it left a lot of empty space in the box. + +They both looked at the box and their vehicles. They were not successful. They felt sad and frustrated. + +"Maybe we both have good vehicles, but for different things," Lily said. "Your truck can carry lots of things, but it can't fit in small spaces. My car can fit in small spaces, but it can't carry lots of things." + +"Maybe you're right," Tim said. "Maybe we can share our vehicles and play together. We can take turns driving and carrying things." + +They smiled and nodded. They took their vehicles out of the box and started to play again. They made noises and pretended they were driving on the road. They were happy and friendly. They had fun. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. But they did not like to share their toys. They had a big drawer in their room where they kept all their toys. They tried to separate their toys into two piles, one for Lily and one for Max. But they always fought over who got the best toys. + +One day, they had a big fight over a shiny car. Lily said it was hers, but Max said he found it first. They pulled and tugged at the car until it broke in half. They both cried and threw the broken car into the drawer. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken car and the messy drawer. She was very angry. She said, "Lily and Max, you are being very naughty. You need to learn how to share and take care of your toys. Look at this drawer. It is disgusting. There are toys that are dirty, broken, and missing. You need to clean up this drawer right now." + +Lily and Max felt sorry for what they did. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We will clean up the drawer." They worked together to sort out the toys. They threw away the toys that were broken or disgusting. They washed the toys that were dirty. They found the toys that were missing. They made two piles of toys that were nice and clean. They decided to share some of the toys that they both liked. They put the toys back into the drawer. + +Mom came back and saw the clean drawer. She was very happy. She said, "Lily and Max, you did a great job. You are being very good. I am proud of you. You can play with your toys now, but remember to share and take care of them." Lily and Max hugged Mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." They played with their toys happily and did not fight anymore. +Tim and Lily were friends who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with their blocks. + +One day, they wanted to build a big castle with their blocks. They found a good spot on the floor and started to put blocks together. But soon they began to disagree. Tim wanted to use only orange blocks for the castle, because orange was his favorite color. Lily wanted to use other colors too, because she thought orange was too bright. + +"No, only orange!" Tim said, and took away a blue block from Lily's hand. + +"Yes, other colors!" Lily said, and took away an orange block from Tim's mouth. + +They started to pull and push and shout at each other. They did not listen or share or take turns. They were very angry and rude. + +Their blocks fell down and broke. Their castle was ruined. They had no more blocks to play with. They had no more fun. They had no more friends. + +They sat on the floor and cried. They wished they had not disagreed. They wished they had been kind and fair. + +The moral of the story is: Disagreeing is okay, but you should always be respectful and cooperative with others. If you are selfish and mean, you will lose your toys and your friends. +Anna and Ben are friends who like to play at the zoo. They like to see the animals and make noises like them. One day, they see a new animal that has black and white stripes. It is a zebra. + +"Wow, look at that!" Anna says. "What is it?" + +"It is a zebra," Ben says. He knows a lot of animal names. "It lives in Africa and eats grass." + +"Can we pet it?" Anna asks. She likes to touch soft things. + +Ben shakes his head. "No, we can't. It is behind a fence. It might bite us." + +Anna feels sad. She wants to pet the zebra. She sees a sign that says "Do not feed the animals". She has an idea. + +"Maybe we can give it some food," she suggests. "Then it will like us and let us pet it." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He is hungry too. He has a sandwich in his backpack. He takes it out and breaks it in half. He gives one half to Anna. + +"Okay, let's try," he agrees. "But we have to be careful. Don't let the zookeeper see us." + +They sneak up to the fence and hold out their sandwiches. The zebra sees them and walks over. It is very nosy. It sniffs their hands and takes a bite of the bread. It makes a funny sound. + +"Yay, it likes us!" Anna says. She tries to stroke its nose. + +But the zebra does not like to be touched. It flicks its ears and kicks its legs. It makes a loud noise. It scares Anna and Ben. They drop their sandwiches and run away. + +"Help, help!" they cry. "The zebra is angry!" + +The zookeeper hears them and comes over. He sees the zebra and the sandwiches. He is not happy. + +"Who did this?" he asks. "Who fed the zebra?" + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry. They know they did something bad. + +"We did," they say. "We wanted to pet it. We are sorry." + +The zookeeper sighs. He explains to them that zebras are not pets. They are wild animals. They have different food and needs. They can be dangerous if they are not treated well. + +"You should never feed the animals without permission," he says. "It can make them sick or angry. You could get hurt too." + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They say sorry again. They promise to never do it again. + +The zookeeper forgives them. He gives them a sticker of a zebra. He tells them to learn more about zebras and other animals. He suggests that they visit the library or watch a show. + +Anna and Ben thank him. They put the stickers on their shirts. They decide to go to the library and watch a show. They still like zebras, but they respect them too. They are friends who like to learn. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had a pink dress, long hair and a charming smile. Anna took Lily everywhere with her. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom and Lily. She saw some other kids playing with a ball. She wanted to join them, but she did not want to leave Lily alone. She asked her mom if she could take Lily with her. + +"Be careful, Anna," her mom said. "Lily is very special to you. Don't lose her or let anyone take her." + +Anna nodded and ran to the other kids. She asked if she could play with them. They said yes, but they looked at Lily with curiosity. + +"What is that?" one of them asked, pointing at Lily. + +"It's my doll," Anna said proudly. "Her name is Lily. She is my best friend." + +The other kids laughed. "A doll? That's silly. Dolls are for babies. You should play with something more fun, like a ball or a bike." + +Anna felt hurt. She loved Lily. She did not think she was silly. She thought Lily had a lot of value. She hugged Lily and said, "No, thank you. I like my doll. She is not silly. She is charming." + +The other kids shrugged and went back to their game. Anna felt lonely. She wanted to play with them, but she did not want to leave Lily. She sighed and walked back to her mom. + +Her mom saw her sad face and asked, "What's wrong, Anna?" + +Anna told her what the other kids said. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't listen to them, Anna. They don't know what they are missing. Lily is a wonderful doll. She is your friend. You can play with whatever you like. You don't have to change for anyone." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are right. Lily is wonderful. I don't care what they say. I love her." + +She kissed Lily and said, "Let's go play on the swings, Lily. We don't need anyone else. We have each other." + +The end. +Lily did not like salad. She liked pizza and cake and ice cream. But Mom said she had to eat some salad before she could have dessert. Lily made a face and pushed her plate away. + +"No salad!" she said. "Salad is yucky!" + +Mom sighed and looked at Lily. She knew Lily was a picky eater, but she wanted her to be healthy and try new things. She had a plan to make salad more fun for Lily. + +"Okay, Lily, how about this?" Mom said. "If you eat some salad, I will let you choose a sticker from the sticker book. You love stickers, right?" + +Lily looked at the sticker book. It had many colorful stickers of animals and flowers and stars. She wanted a sticker, but she did not want salad. + +She shook her head and refused. "No sticker!" she said. "No salad!" + +Mom felt sad and a little angry. She did not like to waste food or bribe Lily. She decided to give Lily one more chance. + +"Fine, Lily, this is your last offer," Mom said. "If you eat some salad, I will read you your favorite story before bed. You love stories, right?" + +Lily loved stories. She loved to hear Mom's voice and look at the pictures and imagine the adventures. She wanted a story, but she did not want salad. + +She crossed her arms and refused. "No story!" she said. "No salad!" + +Mom felt very sad and very angry. She did not like to argue with Lily or punish her. She decided to teach Lily a lesson. + +"Okay, Lily, you made your choice," Mom said. "No salad, no sticker, no story. You can go to your room and think about what you did. Maybe tomorrow you will be more polite and willing to try new things." + +Lily felt a pang in her chest. She did not want to go to her room. She did not want to miss dessert and sticker and story. She realized she had been rude and stubborn. She felt sorry. + +She looked at Mom and said in a small voice, "Mom, I'm sorry. Can I have some salad, please?" +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big house with a fence. The house looked old and scary. + +"Let's go see the house," Sam said. He was brave and curious. + +"No, Sam, it's too scary. Maybe there are monsters inside," Lily said. She was humble and careful. + +Sam did not listen. He climbed over the fence and ran to the house. He opened the door and went inside. Lily followed him. She did not want to be alone. + +The house was dark and dusty. There were spiders and rats. Sam and Lily heard a strange noise. They saw a skeleton in a closet. The skeleton had a hat and a coat. It looked like a man. + +"Hello, children," the skeleton said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Sam and Lily were very scared. They screamed and ran to the door. But the door was shut. The skeleton had shut the door. + +"Please, let us go," Lily said. "We are sorry. We did not mean to bother you." + +The skeleton laughed. "Too late, children. You are my guests now. I have been lonely for a long time. You will stay with me forever." + +Sam and Lily cried. They wished they had not gone to the house. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they could go back to the park. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lila had a shiny red car that she liked to polish with a cloth. Ben had a big green dinosaur that he liked to roar with. They were having fun, but they also made a lot of noise and mess. + +Their mom came in and saw the toys all over the floor. She was not happy. She said, "Lila and Ben, you need to clean up your toys. They are not yours alone. You have to share them with your brother and sister. And you have to be quiet. Your dad is very tired. He has a bad lung and he needs to rest." + +Lila and Ben did not listen to their mom. They said, "We don't want to share. We don't want to be quiet. We want to play with our toys. They are ours. We don't care about dad's lung." + +Their mom was very sad and angry. She said, "If you don't care about dad's lung, then you don't care about dad. And if you don't care about dad, then you don't care about me. And if you don't care about me, then you don't care about anyone. You are very selfish and rude. You need to learn to be kind and respectful." + +She took away their toys and put them in a box. She said, "You can't play with your toys until you say sorry to me and to dad. And you have to help me clean the house and make dad some soup. Maybe then you will understand how to be good children." + +Lila and Ben felt very sorry for what they did. They realized they were wrong. They said sorry to their mom and to their dad. They helped their mom clean the house and make dad some soup. They gave dad a hug and a kiss. They said, "We love you, dad. We hope your lung gets better soon. We will be quiet and share our toys from now on." + +Their mom was very proud and happy. She said, "Thank you, Lila and Ben. You have learned a very important lesson. You have to care about others and not just yourself. You have to be kind and respectful and not selfish and rude. You have to polish your hearts and not just your toys." + +She gave them back their toys and let them play again. But this time, they played nicely and quietly. They shared their toys with their brother and sister. They polished their hearts and their toys. And they all lived happily ever after. + +The end. +Ben loved to play with his toy helicopter. He made it fly in the air and land on the sofa. He pretended it was a real helicopter that could rescue people and animals. He wished he had a friend who liked helicopters too. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom. He brought his helicopter with him. He saw a girl on the swings who had a toy airplane. He wanted to talk to her, but he was shy. He watched her from a distance, hoping she would notice him. + +The girl saw Ben and his helicopter. She smiled and waved at him. She got off the swing and walked towards him. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. I like your helicopter. Can I see it?" + +Ben was surprised and happy. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Sure, you can see it. It's my favorite toy. It can fly really high and fast. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I want to play with you. I like your helicopter too. It looks very dependable. My airplane is also dependable. It can do loops and turns. Do you want to see it?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, I want to see it. It looks very cool. You have a nice airplane. Can we introduce our toys to each other?" + +Lily agreed. She said, "Yes, we can introduce our toys to each other. That's a good idea. Maybe they can be friends too." + +They exchanged their toys and made them fly together. They had fun and laughed. They learned that they had a lot in common. They decided to be friends and share their toys. They thanked each other for being nice and dependable. + +Ben and Lily learned that it is good to be friendly and generous. They also learned that they can find friends who share their interests and hobbies. They were happy and proud of their toys and themselves. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sack near a tree. They are curious. They want to see what is inside the sack. + +"Let's open it!" Lila says. + +"OK, but be careful!" Tom says. + +They go to the sack and pull the string. The sack opens and they see a lot of toys. There are dolls, cars, balls, books and more. They are happy. They start to play with the toys. + +But then, a man comes. He is angry. He says the sack is his. He says he sells the toys to other people. He says Lila and Tom are bad. He grabs the sack and puts all the toys back inside. He tries to take Lila and Tom too. + +"Help! Help!" Lila and Tom scream. + +They are scared. They do not want to go with the man. They want to be free. They want to be independent. + +Some people hear them. They come to help. They call the police. The police come and catch the man. They put him in a cell. He cannot get out. He is sad. + +Lila and Tom are safe. They thank the people and the police. They hug each other. They are glad. They are still friends. They go back to play in the park. They are independent. +Tom and Lily were playing with their marbles in the garden. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. They liked to roll them on the grass and see who could make them go the farthest. + +"Look, Lily, I have a big white marble!" Tom said, holding up his marble proudly. "It is very shiny and smooth. Do you have one like this?" + +Lily looked at her marbles and shook her head. "No, I don't have a white marble. I have a red one, a blue one, a green one, and a yellow one. But no white one. Can I see yours?" + +Tom nodded and handed his white marble to Lily. She took it and examined it closely. She saw something on the marble that made her gasp. + +"Tom, Tom, this is not just a white marble. This is a special marble. Look, it has a picture on it. Do you recognize it?" + +Tom took back his marble and looked at it again. He saw that Lily was right. There was a picture on the marble, a picture of a smiling face. He recognized it right away. + +"It's Mommy!" he exclaimed. "This is Mommy's marble. She gave it to me when I was a baby. She said it was her lucky marble. She said it would always make me happy." + +Tom and Lily hugged each other and smiled. They decided to keep the white marble in a safe place. They knew it was a very special marble. They knew it was a gift from Mommy. +Sam and Mia like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, towers and more with their blocks. Sometimes they attach blocks together with glue or tape, so they do not fall apart. + +One day, they find a big box of old blocks in the garage. The old blocks are very dusty and dirty. Some of them are broken or have sharp edges. Sam and Mia do not like the old blocks. They want to play with their new blocks. + +But then, they see a picture on the box. The picture shows a big castle made of old blocks. The castle has walls, towers, windows, doors and flags. It looks very fun and pretty. Sam and Mia want to make the castle with the old blocks. + +They take the old blocks out of the box and start to build the castle. They follow the picture and attach the blocks together. They use glue, tape, string and paper to make the castle stronger and nicer. They work hard and have fun. + +Soon, they finish the castle. It is very big and beautiful. They are very proud of their castle. They put their toys inside the castle and pretend to be kings and queens. They play with the old blocks for a long time. They learn that the old blocks are not so bad. They can make easy and amazing things with the old blocks. They are happy. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. It was very tall and shiny. Tom wanted to go on the slide, but Sam was scared. + +"Come on, Sam, it will be fun!" Tom said. He ran to the slide and climbed the steps. He looked down and smiled. He lifted his arms and slid down fast. He laughed and shouted, "Whee!" + +Sam watched Tom from the ground. He wanted to try, but he felt a shock in his tummy. He thought the slide was too high and too fast. He shook his head and said, "No, Tom, I don't want to go." + +Tom ran back to Sam. He wanted Sam to have fun too. He said, "Don't be scared, Sam, I will help you. I will lift you up and hold your hand. We will go together. It will be easy and fun. Trust me, Sam." + +Sam looked at Tom. He saw that Tom was happy and brave. He wanted to be like Tom. He nodded and said, "OK, Tom, I will try. But you have to lift me up and hold my hand. Don't let go, Tom." + +Tom smiled and said, "I won't let go, Sam. I promise." He lifted Sam up and carried him to the slide. He held Sam's hand and said, "Ready, Sam? One, two, three, go!" He pushed them down the slide. + +Sam felt a shock in his tummy, but also a thrill in his heart. He saw the sky and the trees and the grass. He heard the wind and Tom's laugh. He squeezed Tom's hand and said, "Whee!" He liked the slide. He was not scared anymore. He was happy and brave, like Tom. +Lily and Tom were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They were going to a new place. The boat stopped at a port. The port was noisy. Lily and Tom heard many horns, bells, and shouts. + +"Can we go see the port, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, but you have to stay close to us. There are many people and cars and things," mom said. + +Lily and Tom followed mom and dad off the boat. They saw many other boats, some big and some small. They saw cranes and trucks and boxes. They saw fish and birds and dogs. + +"Look, Tom, a big red boat!" Lily said. + +"Look, Lily, a small yellow truck!" Tom said. + +They walked around the port and saw many things. They also saw a shop that sold ice cream. + +"Can we have ice cream, dad?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but you have to choose one flavor. There are many flavors," dad said. + +Lily and Tom looked at the ice cream. There were many colors and shapes. They saw vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, banana, mint, and more. + +"I choose vanilla. It is white and sweet," Lily said. + +"I choose mint. It is green and cool," Tom said. + +Mom and dad bought the ice cream for Lily and Tom. They sat on a bench and ate the ice cream. They liked the ice cream. It was cold and yummy. + +They finished the ice cream and threw away the cones. They wiped their mouths and hands. + +"Did you like the port, Lily and Tom?" mom asked. + +"Yes, we liked the port. It was noisy and fun," Lily and Tom said. + +"Good. Now let's go back to the boat. We have to go to the new place," dad said. + +Lily and Tom followed mom and dad back to the boat. They waved goodbye to the port. They were happy. They liked the boat and the port and the ice cream. They wondered what the new place would be like. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. Sara has a ball and Ben has a toy car. Sara likes to throw the ball high in the air and catch it. Ben likes to make his car zoom on the ground and make noises. + +"Look at me, Ben!" Sara says. "I can throw the ball very high!" + +"That's nice, Sara," Ben says. "But I like my car better. It is fast and loud!" + +Sara gets bored of throwing the ball by herself. She wants Ben to play with her. She runs to Ben and takes his car. + +"Hey, give it back!" Ben says. "That's my car!" + +"No, it's mine now!" Sara says. "You have to play with me and my ball. I am the boss. You have to do what I say!" + +Ben does not like Sara being bossy. He wants his car back. He tries to grab it from Sara, but she is too strong. She pushes him away and laughs. + +"Ha ha, you can't have it!" Sara says. "You are a baby. You can't play with cars. You have to play with balls!" + +Ben feels angry and sad. He does not want to play with Sara anymore. He wants his car and his mom. He starts to cry. + +"Ben, what's wrong?" his mom says. She hears him crying and comes to see. She sees Sara holding his car and being mean. + +"Sara, give Ben his car back!" his mom says. "That's not nice. You have to share and be kind." + +Sara does not want to give Ben his car back. She likes his car. She thinks it is better than her ball. She tries to run away, but her mom stops her. + +"Sara, don't run away!" her mom says. "You have to say sorry to Ben and give him his car. Or you will have a time out." + +Sara does not want a time out. She knows her mom is serious. She gives Ben his car back and says sorry. + +"Sorry, Ben," Sara says. "I was bossy and mean. Can we be friends?" + +Ben is still upset, but he is also happy to have his car back. He wipes his tears and says thank you. + +"Thank you, Sara," Ben says. "I accept your sorry. We can be friends. But you have to play nice." + +Sara nods and smiles. She says she will play nice. She asks Ben if he wants to play with her ball. Ben says yes, but he also wants to play with his car. They decide to take turns and share. They also sing a song together. They have fun and forget their fight. Their moms are proud of them. They hug and say they love them. They are happy. The end. +Sam and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They had cars, dolls, blocks and books. They made a lot of noise and had a lot of fun. + +"Sam, look at this!" Mia said, holding up a book with colorful pictures. "It has a dog and a cat and a bird!" + +"Wow, that's nice!" Sam said, taking the book from Mia. "Can I read it?" + +"Sure, you can read it. But you have to be careful. It is Mommy's book. She said we can look at it, but not tear it or write on it." + +Sam nodded. He opened the book and tried to read the words. He knew some of them, like "dog" and "cat" and "bird". He pointed at the pictures and said their names. + +Mia watched him and smiled. She liked the book too. She wanted to read it with Sam. But she was also feeling very sleepy. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. + +"Sam, I'm tired. Can we nap?" she asked. + +Sam looked at her and saw that she was sleepy. He was sleepy too. He closed the book and put it on the table. + +"Okay, let's nap. But where can we nap? The couch is too small for both of us. And Mommy said we can't go to our beds until night." + +Mia thought for a moment. She looked around the living room and saw a big bin in the corner. It was full of blankets and pillows. Mommy used it to store them when they were not needed. + +"Sam, I have an idea. We can nap in the bin. It has blankets and pillows. It is cozy and warm. And Mommy won't mind. She said the bin is harmless. It won't hurt us or break anything." + +Sam liked the idea. He followed Mia to the bin. They climbed inside and made a nest with the blankets and pillows. They snuggled together and closed their eyes. + +"Good night, Sam," Mia said. + +"Good night, Mia," Sam said. + +They fell asleep in the bin, dreaming of dogs and cats and birds. +Anna and Ben were going to visit their grandma. They had to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Anna liked to pack her teddy bear and her book. Ben liked to pack his cars and his ball. + +They put their bags in the car and said goodbye to their mom and dad. They were happy to see their grandma. She lived in a big house with a garden. There were many flowers and trees in the garden. And there was a mole. + +The mole was digging holes in the ground. He liked to make tunnels and find worms. He did not see Anna and Ben when they came to the garden. He was busy digging. + +"Look, a mole!" Ben said. He ran to the hole and tried to catch the mole. He wanted to play with him. + +"Stop, Ben!" Anna said. "You will scare the mole. He does not want to play with you. He wants to dig." + +But Ben did not listen. He reached his hand into the hole and grabbed the mole. The mole was scared and bit Ben's finger. Ben cried and let go of the mole. The mole ran away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben said. He showed his finger to Anna. It was red and sore. + +"Come, Ben," Anna said. "Let's go to grandma. She will make it better." + +They went to the house and knocked on the door. Grandma opened the door and hugged them. + +"Hello, my darlings," she said. "I'm so happy to see you. Come in, come in." + +She saw Ben's finger and took him to the kitchen. She washed his finger and put a band-aid on it. She gave him a cookie and a glass of milk. + +"There, there," she said. "Don't cry. The mole did not mean to hurt you. He was just afraid. You have to be gentle with animals. They have feelings too." + +"I'm sorry, grandma," Ben said. "I won't chase the mole again. I will be gentle." + +"That's good, Ben," grandma said. "I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you and Anna go to the living room and play with your toys? I have something for you." + +She went to her bedroom and came back with a big box. She gave it to Anna and Ben. + +"What is it, grandma?" Anna asked. + +"Open it and see," grandma said. + +They opened the box and saw two stuffed animals. One was a teddy bear and the other was a mole. + +"These are for you," grandma said. "They are your new friends. You can play with them and cuddle them. They won't bite you. They will love you." + +Anna and Ben smiled and hugged their grandma. They thanked her for the gifts. They were very grateful. They played with their new friends and had a lot of fun. They were happy to visit their grandma. And the mole was happy to dig in the garden. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys on the floor. But sometimes they make a big mess and Mom is not happy. + +One day, Mom says, "Anna and Ben, you have to help me clean the floor. It is too dirty. If you help me, I will give you a cookie." + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "OK, Mom, we will help you." They start to pick up their toys and put them in a box. Anna is very fast and careful. She puts all her dolls and books in the box. Ben is very slow and lazy. He puts only some of his cars and blocks in the box. He hides the rest under the sofa and the rug. + +Mom comes back and sees the floor. She smiles and says, "Good job, Anna, you are very reliable. You can have a cookie." She gives Anna a big chocolate chip cookie. She looks at Ben and says, "Ben, you are not reliable. You did not help me. You hid your toys. You cannot have a cookie." + +Ben feels sad and sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom, I was wrong. I will help you next time. Can I have a cookie, please?" Mom shakes her head and says, "No, Ben, you have to learn your lesson. You have to be reliable like Anna. Maybe next time you can have a cookie." + +Anna sees Ben's sad face. She feels sorry for him too. She breaks her cookie in half and says, "Here, Ben, you can have half of my cookie. But you have to promise to help Mom next time." Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Anna, you are very kind. I promise to help Mom next time." He takes the half cookie and hugs Anna. Mom sees them and smiles too. She says, "That's very nice of you, Anna. You are a good sister. And Ben, I hope you keep your promise. You can be a good brother too." Anna and Ben say, "We love you, Mom." Mom says, "I love you too, Anna and Ben." They all hug and eat their cookies. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars. Anna has many cars. She is wealthy. Ben has one car. He is not wealthy. But he loves his car very much. + +One day, they go to the park. They bring their cars. They race their cars on the grass. Anna's cars are fast and shiny. Ben's car is slow and old. Anna wins every race. She is happy. Ben is sad. + +Anna sees Ben is sad. She wants to help. She has an idea. She says, "Ben, do you want to try one of my cars? They are very fun. You can choose any car you want." + +Ben is surprised. He says, "Really? Thank you, Anna. You are very kind. Can I try this car? It is red and has a big engine." + +Anna says, "Sure, you can try that car. It is my favorite car. It is very fast and loud. You will like it." + +Ben takes the car. He is happy. He says, "Wow, this car is amazing. It is so fast and loud. I love it." + +Anna and Ben race again. This time, Ben wins. He is very happy. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. You support me. You make me happy." + +Anna is happy too. She says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. You share with me. You make me happy too." + +Anna and Ben hug. They smile. They play with their cars. They are happy. They are friends. +Tim and Jen are playing in the mud. They make mud pies and mud castles. They are very happy and dirty. + +"Look at my mud pie!" Tim says to Jen. "It has worms and rocks in it!" + +"Yuck!" Jen says. "My mud castle is better. It has flowers and leaves on it!" + +They hear Mom call them from the house. "Tim! Jen! Time to wash up! Come inside!" + +Tim and Jen run to the house. They see the door is open. They go inside and find the bathroom. They see the sink and the knob. + +"Let's wash our hands!" Tim says. He turns the knob. Water comes out. He puts his hands under the water. He rubs them with soap. + +"Me too!" Jen says. She turns the knob. Water comes out. She puts her hands under the water. She rubs them with soap. + +They wash their hands until they are clean. They dry them with a towel. They smile at each other. + +"We are clean now!" Tim says. + +"Yes, we are!" Jen says. + +They go to the kitchen. Mom is waiting for them. She hugs them and gives them cookies. + +"Good job, Tim and Jen!" Mom says. "You washed your hands very well!" + +"Thank you, Mom!" Tim and Jen say. They eat their cookies and drink their milk. They are very happy and clean. +Lily and Anna are best friends. They like to play with dolls and dress up. They have many pink clothes and shoes. They think pink is the prettiest color. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They run to the slide and wait for their turn. They see a pattern on the slide. It has pink and purple stripes. They think it is very nice. + +Lily goes first. She sits on the slide and holds the sides. She slides down fast and laughs. She lands on the grass and stands up. She says, "That was fun! Come on, Anna!" + +Anna goes next. She sits on the slide and lets go of the sides. She slides down faster and screams. She does not land on the grass. She falls off the slide and hits her head on a rock. She cries and bleeds. She says, "Ow! Ow! Ow!" + +Lily and their moms run to Anna. They are scared and sad. They call for help. They take Anna to the hospital. Anna has a big bump on her head. She has to stay in the hospital for many days. She cannot play with Lily or her dolls. She is not happy. She wishes she did not go on the slide. She wishes she did not see the pink and purple pattern. She wishes she held the sides. +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. They were very quiet and careful, because they did not want to disturb Mom, who was working on her laptop at the table. + +But then, their dog Spot came running into the room. He was very excited and happy to see them. He wagged his tail and barked and jumped on them. He knocked over their blocks and made a big mess. Lily and Ben were not happy. They shouted at Spot to stop. + +"Spot, no! Bad dog! Go away!" Lily said. + +"Spot, you disturb us! You ruin our blocks! Go to your bed!" Ben said. + +Spot did not listen. He wanted to play with them. He licked their faces and nibbled their heels. He thought they were playing with him. He did not understand why they were angry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was going on. She saw the blocks on the floor and the children and the dog. She was not angry, but she was not happy either. She knew Spot was just a puppy and he did not know better. But she also knew Lily and Ben were trying to be patient and good. + +"Spot, come here!" Mom said. She took Spot by his collar and led him to his bed in the corner. She gave him a toy to chew on and told him to stay. "Spot, you have to be patient and quiet. You cannot disturb Lily and Ben when they are playing. They need their space and time. You can play with them later, when they are done. Okay?" + +Spot looked at Mom with his big brown eyes. He wagged his tail and nodded. He understood. He was sorry for disturbing Lily and Ben. He wanted to be a good dog. He lay down on his bed and played with his toy. He was patient and quiet. + +Lily and Ben saw that Mom had fixed the problem. They smiled and thanked her. They hugged Spot and told him they loved him. They said they would play with him later, when they were done. They went back to their blocks and started to build again. They were quiet and careful. They did not disturb Mom, who went back to her laptop. They were happy. +Sara and Ben were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their clothes and toys in their luggage. Sara had a pink luggage with flowers. Ben had a blue luggage with cars. + +They went to the airport in a big car. They saw many planes in the sky. They wanted to fly in a plane too. They gave their luggage to a man who put it on a belt. The man gave them tickets and stickers. + +They walked to a gate where a lady checked their tickets and stickers. She smiled and said, "Have a nice flight!" They went through a door and saw a big plane. It had wings and windows and a tail. They climbed up the stairs and went inside the plane. + +They found their seats and buckled their belts. They looked out the window and saw the ground and the clouds. A voice said, "Welcome aboard! We are ready to take off!" The plane started to move and then went up in the air. Sara and Ben clapped and cheered. + +They flew for a long time. They ate snacks and watched cartoons. They played with their toys and read books. They saw the sun and the moon and the stars. They fell asleep and dreamed of their trip. + +They woke up when the plane landed. They got off the plane and got their luggage. They saw Mom and Dad waiting for them. They hugged and kissed them. They were happy to see them. + +They went to a fancy hotel. It had a big lobby and a pool and a garden. They checked in and went to their room. It had a big bed and a TV and a balcony.

They flew back home and told their stories to their friends and family. They were happy and tired. They slept well and dreamed of their next trip. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the soil and look for worms and bugs. They had a small bucket and a shovel each. + +"Look, I found a big worm!" Lily said, holding up her shovel. "It is brown and wiggly." + +"Wow, let me see!" Ben said, running over to her. "Can I touch it?" + +"Okay, but be gentle," Lily said, putting the worm in the bucket. "Let's count how many worms we have." + +They looked in the bucket and saw three worms. They used their fingers to count. "One, two, three," they said together. + +"Three is a lot," Ben said. "Maybe we can find more." + +They dug some more in the soil, hoping to find more worms. They were having fun. + +But then they heard their mom calling them. "Lily, Ben, time to go inside! It's getting dark and cold." + +They felt anxious. They did not want to leave their worms. They liked their worms. + +"Mom, can we keep the worms?" Lily asked, holding the bucket. "Please?" + +"No, sweetie, you can't," mom said, shaking her head. "The worms need to stay in the soil. That's their home. They will be happy there." + +"But we will miss them," Ben said, making a sad face. + +"I know, honey, but you can see them again tomorrow," mom said, smiling. "Why don't you say goodbye to them and put them back in the soil?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They took the worms out of the bucket and put them back in the soil. They said goodbye to them and thanked them for playing with them. + +"Bye, worms," they said. "See you tomorrow." + +They picked up their bucket and shovel and followed mom inside. They felt a little sad, but also happy. They had a good time playing with the worms. They learned how to count them. They looked forward to seeing them again. They loved the soil. +Tim and Mia like to pretend. They pretend to be different things every day. Today, they pretend to be superheroes. Tim wears a red shirt with a big S on it. Mia wears a blue shirt with a star on it. They make capes from old blankets. + +They run around the yard, fast and loud. They save the flowers from the bad bugs. They stop the cars from crashing. They help the birds find their nests. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they see a big dog. The dog is not friendly. It barks and growls at them. It chases them. Tim and Mia are scared. They run to the house, fast and quiet. + +"Help, help!" they cry. "A bad dog is after us!" + +Mom hears them. She comes out of the house. She sees the dog. She knows the dog. It is Rex, the neighbor's dog. He is not bad. He just wants to play. + +"Rex, stop!" Mom says. "You are scaring the kids!" + +She calls the neighbor. The neighbor comes and gets Rex. He says he is sorry. He says Rex got out of the fence. + +Mom hugs Tim and Mia. She says they are brave. She says they are good superheroes. She says they can have a snack. + +Tim and Mia smile. They are happy. They are not scared anymore. They still like to pretend. But they do not like big dogs. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and blocks. They always shared their toys and snacks. They were loyal to each other. + +One day, they found a big crack in the wall of the playground. They wondered what was behind it. They decided to peek inside. They saw a dark and scary tunnel. They heard strange noises and smelled bad things. + +"Let's go in and explore!" Tom said. He was brave and curious. + +"No, let's not!" Lily said. She was afraid and cautious. "It might be dangerous. Mommy and Daddy told us not to go to places we don't know." + +"Come on, don't be a chicken!" Tom said. He teased and pushed Lily. "It will be fun. I'll protect you." + +Lily did not want to lose Tom's friendship. She did not want him to think she was a chicken. She followed him into the crack. She regretted it. + +They walked for a long time in the dark and scary tunnel. They saw spiders and rats and bones. They got lost and tired and hungry. They cried and shouted for help. But no one heard them. + +They never came out of the crack. They never saw their mommies and daddies again. They never played with their dolls and cars and blocks again. They were not loyal to each other anymore. They blamed and hated each other. + +They wished they had never gone into the crack. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had stayed in the playground. They wished they had been happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play near the water. One day, they see a big yacht. It is white and shiny. It looks very clean. + +"Wow, look at that yacht!" Anna says. "I want to go inside and see what it has." + +"Me too!" Ben says. "Maybe it has toys and candy and a TV." + +They run to the yacht. They do not see anyone on it. They climb on the ladder. They are very excited. + +But the ladder is wet and slippery. Anna slips and falls into the water. She screams and splashes. + +"Anna!" Ben shouts. "Are you okay?" + +He tries to help her, but he slips too. He falls into the water next to her. He is scared and cold. + +"Help! Help!" they cry. "We can't swim!" + +A man hears them. He is the owner of the yacht. He runs to the edge and throws them a rope. He pulls them out of the water. He wraps them in a towel. + +"Are you kids okay?" he asks. "What were you doing on my yacht?" + +"We wanted to see it," Anna says. "It is so clean and pretty." + +"Well, you should not go on other people's things without asking," the man says. "It is rude and dangerous. You could have drowned. You are lucky I was here." + +"We are sorry, sir," Ben says. "We were wrong. We will not do it again." + +The man nods. He calls their parents and tells them what happened. Their parents are very angry and worried. They hug them and scold them. + +"Anna and Ben, you were very naughty and foolish," their mom says. "You should never go near the water without us. And you should never touch other people's things without permission. You could have hurt yourself or damaged something. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, mom," they say. "We understand. We are sorry." + +They learn their lesson. They never go on a yacht again. They only play with their own toys. They are more careful and respectful. They are happy and safe. +Anna and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, Anna, I made a big tower!" Ben said, showing his blocks to his sister. + +"Wow, Ben, that's very good!" Anna said. "Can I help you?" + +"Yes, you can. Let's make it even bigger!" Ben said. + +They worked together, adding more blocks to the tower. They were having fun, but they did not notice that it was getting dark outside. + +"Anna, Ben, it's time for dinner!" their mom called from the kitchen. + +"Okay, mom, we're coming!" Anna said. + +They got up and started to put their blocks away. But they had so many blocks that it took a long time. + +"Can we finish later, mom?" Ben asked. + +"No, sweetie, you have to finish now. It's almost bedtime," their mom said. + +"Okay, mom," Ben said. He looked at his tower and felt sad. He wanted to play more. + +Anna saw that Ben was sad. She had an idea. She whispered something in his ear and smiled. + +"Mom, can we leave our tower here? We want to show it to you tomorrow," Anna said. + +Their mom looked at their tower and smiled too. + +"Okay, you can leave it here. But you have to promise me that you will be careful and not knock it down," their mom said. + +"We promise, mom!" Anna and Ben said. + +They gave their mom a big hug and went to the kitchen. They ate their dinner and brushed their teeth. Then they went to their bedroom. + +They were very sleepy, but they were also happy. They had made a big tower and they had a surprise for their mom. + +"Good night, Anna," Ben said. + +"Good night, Ben," Anna said. + +They snuggled in their beds and closed their eyes. They dreamed of their tower and their mom. They were a good team. +Lily wanted to help Mommy make a cake. She saw Mommy put some eggs and flour and sugar in a big bowl. She wanted to stir them too. She climbed on a chair and reached for the spoon. + +"Be careful, Lily," Mommy said. "Don't touch the stove. It is very hot and can hurt you." + +Lily nodded. She took the spoon and stirred the batter. It was fun. She saw Mommy open the oven and put a pan inside. She wanted to see the cake bake. + +She moved the chair closer to the stove. She stood on her toes and peeked inside the oven. She saw the pan with the batter. It looked yummy. + +She reached for the oven door. She wanted to open it and smell the cake. She did not see the red light on the stove. She did not know it meant the stove was on. + +She touched the handle of the oven door. It was very hot. It burned her hand. She screamed. + +Mommy heard her scream. She ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily holding her hand and crying. She saw the chair by the stove. She saw the red light. + +She panicked. She grabbed Lily and ran to the sink. She turned on the cold water and put Lily's hand under it. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, baby. It's okay. Mommy is here." + +Lily sobbed. She felt pain in her hand. She felt scared. She felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry. I wanted to see the cake." + +Mommy kissed her head. She said, "I know, Lily. I know. But you have to be careful. The stove is dangerous. You have to listen to Mommy. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, Mommy. I love you, Mommy." + +Mommy said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my brave girl. Let's go to the doctor and get your hand checked. Then we can have some cake later. Okay?" + +Lily said, "Okay, Mommy. Thank you, Mommy." + +Mommy smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Lily. Come on, let's go." + +She took Lily's hand and wrapped it in a towel. She took her purse and keys. She left the kitchen. She turned off the stove. She felt anxious. She hoped Lily's hand would be okay. She hoped the cake would not burn. She hoped they would have a better day. +Tommy was playing in the snow with his dog Spot. He liked to make snowballs and throw them at Spot. Spot liked to catch them and shake them off. They were having fun. + +Then Tommy saw something shiny in the snow. He walked over to see what it was. He dug with his hands and found a red angel. It was made of metal and had wings and a halo. It was very pretty. + +Tommy was happy. He had discovered a red angel. He wondered who left it there. Maybe it was a gift from someone. He decided to keep it and show it to his mom. + +He picked up the red angel and ran to his house. Spot followed him. He opened the door and called for his mom. "Mom, look what I found in the snow! A red angel!" + +His mom came to see. She smiled and hugged him. "That's a beautiful red angel, Tommy. Where did you find it?" + +Tommy told her about his discovery. His mom said, "That's amazing, Tommy. You know what? I think that red angel is very special. It's a sign of love and joy. You are very lucky to have it." + +Tommy felt warm and happy. He loved his mom and his dog and his red angel. He put the red angel on his shelf and went to have some hot chocolate. He thought it was a wonderful day. +Sara liked to go to the library with her mom. She liked to look at books with pictures and words. She liked to learn new things. She also liked to sign her name on the card when she borrowed a book. She felt proud of her sign. + +One day, Sara saw a big book with many colors on the cover. She wanted to borrow it, but her mom said no. She said the book was too hard for Sara. She said Sara should pick a smaller book. Sara was angry. She did not listen to her mom. She took the big book and hid it in her bag. + +When they got home, Sara took out the big book and tried to read it. But she could not understand the words. They were too big and too many. She felt sad and bored. She wished she had a smaller book. She also felt hungry. She wanted a snack. + +She went to the kitchen and saw a plate of cookies on the table. She wanted to eat one, but her mom said no. She said the cookies were for later. She said Sara should eat some fruit. Sara was angry again. She did not listen to her mom. She took a cookie and ate it. + +But the cookie was not good. It was too sweet and too dry. It made Sara thirsty and sick. She felt bad and sorry. She wished she had some fruit. She also felt guilty. She knew she had done two wrong things. + +She went to her mom and hugged her. She said she was sorry for taking the big book and the cookie. She said she would return the book and eat some fruit. She said she would listen to her mom next time. Her mom smiled and forgave her. She said she was proud of Sara for telling the truth. She said she loved her. + +Sara learned a lesson that day. She learned that listening to her mom was good. She learned that her mom knew what was best for her. She learned that signing her name was not enough. She had to be honest and respectful. She felt happy and peaceful. She liked to learn new things. But she also liked to do the right things. +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. He looked very jolly. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Tom said. "Do you like the snow?" + +"Yes, I do!" Lily said, pretending to be the snowman. "But I am a little cold. Can you give me a hug?" + +Tom and Lily hugged the snowman. He felt cold and wet, but they did not mind. They liked the snowman very much. + +Then they heard their mom calling them. "Tom! Lily! Time to come inside! It's getting dark and cold!" + +"Okay, mom!" Tom and Lily said. They waved goodbye to the snowman. "See you tomorrow, Mr. Snowman!" + +They ran inside the house. Mom gave them hot chocolate and cookies. They felt warm and cozy. + +"Did you have fun in the snow?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, we did!" Tom and Lily said. "We made a jolly snowman!" + +They told mom all about their snowman. They showed her the pictures they took with him. They smiled and laughed. + +They felt happy. They had a good memory of their snowman. They hoped he would not melt. They wanted to play with him again. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun and they are healthy. + +One day, they see a man with a big bag. He gives them a smile and says, "Hello, kids. Do you want some mints? They are sweet and good for your teeth." + +Tom and Lily love sweets. They say, "Yes, please!" and run to the man. They take some mints from his bag and put them in their mouths. + +But the mints are not sweet. They are spicy and hot. They make Tom and Lily cough and cry. They spit out the mints and say, "Yuck! These are not mints. These are bad." + +The man laughs and says, "Ha ha ha! These are not mints. These are peppers. I tricked you, kids. You should not take candy from strangers." + +Tom and Lily are angry and sad. They say, "That is not nice. That is mean. You are a bad man. Go away!" + +They move away from the man and run to their mom. They tell her what happened. She hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, kids. That man was very naughty. You did the right thing to move away from him. You should never take anything from strangers. They might hurt you or make you sick. You should only eat healthy food that you know and like." + +Tom and Lily nod and say, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will not take anything from strangers. We will only eat healthy food." + +They drink some water and eat some fruit. They feel better and they smile. They go back to play in the park. They have fun and they are healthy. +Lily loved to play in the garden with her mom. They would plant seeds, water them, and watch them grow. Lily liked to see the flowers and the vegetables that came out of the ground. She felt happy and proud of their garden. + +One day, mom had to go away for a long time. She said she had to work in another place. She hugged Lily and said, "I will miss you very much, my sweet girl. But I will call you every day and come back soon. You can help dad take care of the garden while I'm gone, okay?" + +Lily nodded, but she felt sad and scared. She did not want mom to leave. She wanted to play with her in the garden. She did not know how to take care of the plants by herself. She said, "I will miss you too, mom. Please come back soon. I love you." + +Mom kissed Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a brave and smart girl. You can do it. I will be back before you know it." + +Mom left with her suitcase. Lily waved goodbye and cried. Dad hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. Mom will be fine. She is doing a very important and successful job. She is helping other people who need her. We are very proud of her. And we will have fun together, right? We can play in the garden, read books, watch movies, and bake cookies. How does that sound?" + +Lily sniffed and said, "Okay, dad. I will try to have fun. But I still miss mom a lot. Can we call her now?" + +Dad smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. Let's call her and tell her how much we love her and how beautiful our garden is." +Mia and Leo were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw many flowers, birds and bugs. They were happy and curious. + +One day, they found a big box under a tree. It was brown and had a red bow on it. They wondered what was inside. They opened the box and saw many toys. There were dolls, cars, books and puzzles. They were excited and surprised. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Mia said. "They are so pretty and fun!" + +"Who do you think left them here?" Leo asked. "Maybe it was a fairy or a wizard!" + +"Maybe they are for us!" Mia said. "Let's play with them!" + +They picked up the toys and started to play. They made stories, sounds and shapes. They laughed and shared. They had a charming time. + +But then, they heard a voice. It was a lady. She was looking for the box. She was sad and worried. + +"Have you seen my box?" she asked. "It has a red bow on it. It is a gift for my niece. I left it here by mistake." + +Mia and Leo felt sorry for the lady. They stopped playing and gave her the box. They told her they found it under the tree. They said they were sorry for opening it. + +The lady smiled and thanked them. She said they were very kind and honest. She said they could keep one toy each as a reward. She said she hoped they would enjoy them. + +Mia and Leo were happy and grateful. They chose a toy they liked. Mia chose a doll and Leo chose a car. They hugged the lady and said goodbye. + +They went back to playing with their new toys. They were proud and glad. They had a charming day. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a man sitting on a bench. He looked troubled. He was holding his head and sighing. + +"Mom, why is he sad?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, sweetie. Maybe he has a problem," mom said. + +Ben and Lily walked over to the man. They smiled at him. + +"Hello, sir. We are Ben and Lily. Do you need help?" Ben said. + +The man looked up and saw the children. He smiled a little. + +"Hello, Ben and Lily. You are very kind. I do have a problem. I lost my wallet. It has my money and my cards and my ID. I don't know where it is. I can't go home or buy anything," the man said. + +"That is a big problem. We can help you solve it. We can look for your wallet. Maybe it is somewhere in the park," Lily said. + +"Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are very smart. But the park is very big. How will you find it?" the man said. + +"We can ask people. Maybe someone saw your wallet. Or we can look for clues. Maybe you dropped it or left it somewhere. We are good at solving problems. Right, Ben?" Lily said. + +"Right, Lily. We are good at solving problems. Come on, let's go. We will find your wallet, sir. Don't worry," Ben said. + +Ben and Lily ran around the park. They asked people if they saw a wallet. They looked under benches and in trash cans. They looked on slides and swings. They looked everywhere. + +After a while, they came back to the man. They were holding his wallet. + +"Sir, sir, we found your wallet. It was on the grass near the fountain. Someone put it there. Maybe they found it and wanted to give it back. Here, take it. It is yours," Ben said. + +The man took his wallet. He opened it and checked. Everything was there. He was very happy. + +"Ben and Lily, you are amazing. You solved my problem. You found my wallet. You are my heroes. Thank you, thank you, thank you. How can I thank you?" the man said. + +"You don't have to thank us, sir. We are happy to help. We like solving problems. It is fun. And you are not sad anymore. That is good," Lily said. + +The man hugged Ben and Lily. He gave them each a candy. He thanked their mom too. He said goodbye and left. + +Ben and Lily waved at him. They were proud of themselves. They solved a problem. They helped someone. They made a friend. They had a good day. +Tim and Jen like to play with matches. They find them in the kitchen and hide them in their room. They think it is fun to light them and watch the fire. They do not know that matches are dangerous and can hurt them and their house. + +One day, they light a match and put it on the bed. The bed has a soft blanket that catches fire quickly. The fire grows bigger and bigger and makes a lot of smoke. Tim and Jen are scared and try to run away, but the door is locked. They scream for help, but no one hears them. + +"Mom! Dad! Help us!" Tim cries. + +"Tim, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we should not have played with matches!" Jen says. + +The fire and the smoke disappear them. They do not come out of the room. They do not see their mom and dad again. They do not play with matches again. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy bow and arrow in the garden. They liked to pretend they were brave hunters, chasing rabbits and birds. They took turns to shoot the arrow at a big tree. + +"Let me try!" Lily said, grabbing the bow from Ben. + +"Wait, you have to stretch the string first!" Ben said, trying to get the bow back. + +"Why?" Lily asked, pulling the arrow back. + +"Because it makes the arrow go faster and farther. It's important!" Ben said. + +Lily did not listen. She let go of the arrow without stretching the string. The arrow flew out of the bow, but it did not go very far. It landed on the ground, near a flower bed. + +"Ha, ha, you missed!" Ben laughed. + +Lily felt angry and sad. She ran to get the arrow, but she stepped on a bee. The bee stung her foot, and it hurt a lot. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried, hopping on one foot. + +Ben heard her cry and ran to help her. He saw the bee and the arrow. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay?" Ben asked, hugging her. + +"It hurts, Ben. Why did the bee sting me?" Lily asked, sobbing. + +"Maybe it was protecting the flowers. You should not have run there. You should have listened to me. Stretching the string is important. It makes the arrow go where you want it to go." Ben said. + +Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She said sorry to Ben and the bee. She promised to stretch the string next time. Ben smiled and kissed her foot. He said he was sorry for laughing at her. He promised to share the bow and arrow with her. They hugged and went back to play. They were happy again. +Tom and Mia liked to play on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. One day, they saw a big jellyfish in the water. It was pink and shiny and had long tentacles. + +"Wow, look at that jellyfish!" Tom said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can we touch it?" Mia asked. + +Tom shook his head. "No, jellyfish can hurt you. They can sting you with their tentacles. It is not a good match for us." + +Mia nodded. She did not want to get hurt. But she was curious. She wanted to see the jellyfish up close. She waited until Tom was busy with his sand castle. Then she sneaked closer to the water. She saw the jellyfish floating near the shore. It looked like a big balloon. + +Mia reached out her hand. She wanted to feel the jellyfish. She thought it would be soft and smooth. But as soon as she touched it, she felt a sharp pain. She screamed and pulled back her hand. It was red and swollen. The jellyfish had stung her. + +Tom heard her scream and ran to her. He saw her hand and the jellyfish. He was scared and angry. + +"Mia, why did you touch the jellyfish? I told you not to! You are silly and naughty!" he said. + +Mia cried and said she was sorry. She said she just wanted to see the jellyfish. She said it was so pretty. + +Tom said it was not pretty. He said it was bad and mean. He said they had to go home and tell mom. He said mom would be mad and sad. + +They left the beach and walked home. They were not happy. They did not play on the beach anymore. They learned that jellyfish are not a good match for them. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to joke and play. They have a toy car that can zoom very fast. They take turns to push the car and make it zoom on the floor. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide. They want to slide down. They run to the slide and wait in line. There are many kids who want to slide too. The slide is popular. + +Tom and Mia get to the top of the slide. They sit on the car and hold it tight. They joke and say, "Ready, set, zoom!" They push the car and slide down. The car zooms very fast. Tom and Mia laugh and scream. They have fun. + +The other kids see Tom and Mia and their car. They think the car is cool. They want to try it too. They ask Tom and Mia if they can share. Tom and Mia are nice. They say yes. They let the other kids slide with their car. They make new friends. They joke and zoom together. They are happy. +One day, a little otter named Ollie wanted to make something original. He looked around the river and saw many things that other otters had made, like dams and slides and nests. But he wanted to make something different, something that no one had seen before. + +He swam and swam until he found a big pile of shiny stones. He thought they were very pretty and decided to use them for his original project. He started to stack them on top of each other, making a tall tower that sparkled in the sun. He was very proud of his work and hoped that his friends would like it too. + +But as he was putting the last stone on the top, he heard a loud splash behind him. He turned around and saw a big beaver, who looked angry and mean. The beaver said, "What are you doing with my stones? These are mine! I need them for my dam!" He pushed Ollie aside and knocked down his tower, making the stones scatter everywhere. + +Ollie was very sad and scared. He had worked hard on his original tower and he did not mean to take the beaver's stones. He wanted to run away, but he did not know where to go. He felt alone and lost. + +But then he heard another splash, and saw his friends coming to help him. They had seen what the beaver had done and they did not like it. They said, "Ollie, we are sorry that the beaver was mean to you. We think your tower was very original and beautiful. We care about you and we want to be your friends. Come with us, we will find you more stones and help you make another tower, or whatever you want to make." + +Ollie felt happy and grateful. He smiled and hugged his friends. He said, "Thank you, friends. You are very kind and caring. I am glad to have you. Let's go and make something original together." And they swam away, looking for more stones and having fun. +Anna and Ben liked to play near the creek. They saw many things there: fish, frogs, birds, and flowers. Sometimes they found shiny rocks or pretty shells. They also liked to make boats from sticks and leaves and watch them float on the water. + +One day, they saw something new near the creek. It was a big pile of wood and paper. It looked like someone had left it there. Anna and Ben were curious. They wanted to see what was in the pile. + +"Maybe there are toys or books or candy in there," Anna said. + +"Let's go and look," Ben said. + +They ran to the pile and started to dig. They found some old magazines, some cans, some bottles, and some matches. They did not find any toys or books or candy. + +"This is boring," Anna said. "Let's make a fire with the matches. That will be fun." + +"OK," Ben said. "But we have to be careful. Fire can burn and hurt." + +They took some matches and lit them. They threw them on the pile. The pile caught fire. It made a big flame and a lot of smoke. It made a loud crackle and a hiss. Anna and Ben were scared. They ran away from the fire. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "There is a fire near the creek!" + +A man heard them and came to see. He saw the fire and the pile. He saw the matches and the magazines. He was angry. + +"Who did this?" he asked. "Who started the fire?" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to tell the truth. They were afraid of getting in trouble. + +"It was not us," Anna said. "It was a mysterious person. We saw him run away." + +"Yeah," Ben said. "He was wearing a mask and a cape. He was very bad." + +The man did not believe them. He knew they were lying. He called the fire department and the police. He told them what happened. He told them about Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They wished they had not played with the matches. They wished they had not lied. They learned a lesson. They never played with fire again. They never lied again. They were more careful near the creek. +Ben was a squirrel who liked to find nuts. He had a big tree where he kept his nuts. He worked hard to fill his tree with nuts. He did not like to share his nuts with anyone. + +One day, he saw a big nut on the ground. He ran to get it. But another squirrel, Sam, saw the nut too. Sam was hungry and wanted the nut. He ran to get it too. + +Ben and Sam reached the nut at the same time. They both grabbed the nut and pulled. They did not want to let go. They did not want to share. They started to fight over the nut. + +While they were fighting, a hawk saw them. The hawk was hungry too. He saw two squirrels and one nut. He thought they would make a good meal. He flew down to catch them. + +Ben and Sam were so busy fighting that they did not see the hawk. The hawk was fast and strong. He grabbed Ben and Sam and the nut in his claws. He flew away with them. + +Ben and Sam were scared. They wished they had shared the nut. They wished they had been friends. But it was too late. The hawk had them. Their fight had ended badly. + +The moral of the story is: It is better to share and be friends than to fight and be greedy. +Sara likes to gaze at the stars at night. She thinks they are shiny and pretty. She likes to make up poems about them. She says the stars are her friends. + +One night, Sara sees a little star that is very bright. She wants to say hello to it. She runs to get her paper and crayon. She writes a poem for the little star. She says: + +Little star, little star +You are so bright and far +I wish I could fly to you +And play with you all night through +You are my friend, little star + +Sara shows her poem to her mom and dad. They smile and hug her. They say her poem is very nice. They help her tape her poem to the window. They say maybe the little star will see it and smile too. + +Sara goes to bed and dreams of the little star. She hopes it likes her poem. She hopes it will be her friend. She gazes at the little star and says good night. The little star twinkles and says good night too. +Tom and Lily were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and find new things. One day, they saw a big house with a shiny roof. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go, Tom. Maybe we can find some treasure," Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful. The roof looks slippery," Tom said. + +They climbed over the fence and ran to the house. They found a ladder leaning against the wall. They climbed up the ladder and reached the roof. The roof was made of copper. It was very bright and smooth. + +"Wow, look at this. It's like a giant coin," Lily said. + +She walked on the roof and looked for a way to get inside. Tom followed her, but he was more cautious. He held on to the ladder. + +Suddenly, Lily slipped on the copper. She screamed and slid down the roof. Tom tried to catch her, but he slipped too. They both fell off the roof and landed on the grass. + +"Ouch! That hurt," Lily said. + +"Are you OK, Lily?" Tom said. + +"I think so. But that was scary," Lily said. + +They looked up and saw a man coming out of the house. He looked angry. He had a big dog with him. The dog barked loudly. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing on my roof? Get out of here, or I'll call the police!" the man said. + +Tom and Lily got up and ran away. They jumped over the fence and ran back to their home. They were scared and sore, but they were glad they were safe. + +They learned a lesson that day. They decided not to be too adventurous and not to go on slippery roofs. They also decided to stay away from the big house with the copper roof. +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they find a big potato in the dirt. They are very happy. + +"Look, Sam, a potato!" Tom says. + +"Wow, Tom, it is so big!" Sam says. + +They wash the potato and take it to their mom. She is making soup for lunch. + +"Mom, mom, look what we found!" they say. + +Mom smiles and takes the potato. She says, "What a unique potato! It is so big and round. Thank you, boys. You can help me make the soup." + +Sam and Tom are proud. They help mom cut the potato and put it in the pot. They add water, salt, carrots, and peas. They stir the soup and wait for it to boil. + +"Soup is ready!" mom says. + +They sit at the table and eat the soup. It is very yummy. They like the potato the best. It is soft and sweet. + +"Mom, this is the best soup ever!" they say. + +Mom hugs them and says, "I'm glad you like it. You are the best boys ever!" + +They finish the soup and wash the dishes. They hug mom and go back to the garden. They play with their toys until it is time to end. They are very happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with snow in the park. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, our snowman is the best!" Tom said. + +"Yes, he is very big and nice!" Lily said. + +But then the sun came out and it was very warm. The snow started to melt. The snowman's hat fell off. His scarf became wet. His carrot nose dropped to the ground. + +"Oh no, our snowman is melting!" Tom cried. + +"We have to save him!" Lily said. + +They ran to the snowman and tried to fix him. They put his hat back on. They wrapped his scarf around him. They stuck his nose in his face. But it was no use. The snowman was too soft and wet. He became smaller and smaller. + +"Goodbye, snowman!" Tom and Lily said. They gave him a hug and a kiss. + +They were sad, but they knew they could make another snowman another day. They went home with their mom and dad. They had hot chocolate and cookies. They told their mom and dad about their snowman. They smiled and said they had fun. +Ben likes to help his mom in the kitchen. He likes to stir things in the big pot. Mom says stirring is good for making soup. Ben holds the wooden spoon and moves it around and around. He sees carrots and peas and noodles in the pot. They look yummy. + +But today, Ben sees something weird in the pot. It is round and shiny and has a hole in the middle. It looks like a knob. Ben wonders how the knob got in the pot. He thinks maybe mom put it there by mistake. He wants to tell mom, but she is busy on the phone. + +Ben decides to take the knob out of the pot. He puts down the spoon and reaches for the knob. But the knob is very hot. It burns Ben's hand. Ben drops the knob and cries out loud. Mom hears Ben and runs to the kitchen. She sees the knob on the floor and the pot on the stove. + +Mom is very angry. She says the knob is from the oven. She says Ben should never touch the oven or the pot. She says they are very dangerous. She says Ben could get hurt or start a fire. She says Ben is a bad boy for not listening to her. + +Ben feels very sorry. He says he is sorry to mom. He says he only wanted to help. He says he did not know the knob was from the oven. He says he will never touch the oven or the pot again. Mom hugs Ben and says she is sorry too. She says she loves Ben. She says she will help Ben with his burn. She says they will have soup together. Ben smiles and says he loves mom too. He says he likes to stir things in the big pot. But he says he does not like knobs in the soup. Mom laughs and says she does not like knobs in the soup either. They go to the table and have soup. The soup is yummy. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But sometimes they fight over them. + +One day, Ben sees a big book on Lily's bed. He wants to look at it. He goes to her bed and tries to take it. Lily sees him and gets angry. + +"No, Ben! That is my book! Go away!" she shouts. + +Ben does not listen. He pulls the book hard. Lily pulls it too. They both pull and pull. Then, they hear a loud rip. The book is torn in half. They both stop and look at it. They feel sad and sorry. + +"Mama! Mama!" they cry. "We tore the book!" + +Mama comes to their room. She sees the torn book and the twins. She is not happy. + +"What did you do?" she asks. "Why did you tear the book?" + +Ben and Lily tell her what happened. They say they are sorry. They hug each other. + +Mama sighs. She says, "I know you both like books. But you have to share and be gentle. Books are not for tearing. They are for reading and learning. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They say, "Yes, Mama. We understand. We will not tear books again." + +Mama smiles. She says, "That's good. Now, let's fix the book. We can use some tape and glue. Then, we can read it together. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily smile too. They say, "That sounds good, Mama. Thank you." + +They help Mama fix the book. Then, they cuddle on her bed and read it. They see many pictures and words. They learn new things. They are happy and dry. They do not cry anymore. They love books and each other. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today is Sunday. On Sunday, they go to the park with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. + +They put on their coats and shoes. Anna wears a green coat. Ben wears a blue coat. They go outside and see the sun. The sun is bright and warm. They say hello to the sun. + +"Hello, sun!" Anna and Ben say. + +"Hello, Anna and Ben!" the sun says. "Have fun at the park!" + +They get in the car and drive to the park. The park is big and green. There are many trees and flowers. There are also swings and slides. Anna and Ben run to the swings. They take turns pushing each other. They laugh and shout. + +"Look at me, Mom!" Anna says. "I'm flying!" + +"You're so brave, Anna!" Mom says. + +"Look at me, Dad!" Ben says. "I'm higher!" + +"You're so strong, Ben!" Dad says. + +They play on the swings for a long time. Then they go to the slides. They slide down fast and slow. They make funny faces. They have more fun. + +They are tired and hungry. They go to the picnic table. Mom has a basket. She opens the basket and takes out sandwiches and fruits. They eat and drink. They say thank you to Mom. + +They are full and happy. They lie down on the grass. They look at the sky. The sky is blue and clear. They see some clouds. The clouds are white and fluffy. They make shapes with the clouds. + +"I see a dog!" Anna says. + +"I see a cat!" Ben says. + +"I see a bird!" Mom says. + +"I see a plane!" Dad says. + +They see more shapes. They giggle and point. They are sleepy. They close their eyes. They sleep on the grass. They dream of the park. They smile in their sleep. +Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw many trees and bushes. Where could Tom be? + +She walked and walked, but she could not find him. She called out, "Tom, where are you? I give up!" But there was no answer. She felt sad and lonely. She wished Tom would come out and play with her. + +She gazed at the big slide. It was her favorite thing in the park. She loved to slide down and feel the wind in her hair. She decided to go and have some fun. Maybe Tom would see her and join her. + +She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She was about to slide down when she heard a giggle. She turned and saw Tom's face peeking out from behind the slide. He had been hidden there all along! + +"Gotcha!" Tom said. "You didn't find me!" + +Lily smiled and said, "You're very good at hiding, Tom. But now it's my turn to hide and your turn to seek. Can you find me?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, I can. You're not as good as me!" + +They laughed and hugged. Then they ran to the tree and started a new game. They were happy and had a lot of fun. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play hockey in the park. They have sticks and a ball. They hit the ball with the sticks and try to score goals. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He wants to play hockey too. He has a stick and a ball. He says to Tom and Ben, "I am better than you. Give me your sticks and ball. I will play alone." + +Tom and Ben are scared. They do not want to give their sticks and ball. They say, "No, you are not better. We want to play too. Go away." + +The big boy gets angry. He pushes Tom and Ben. He takes their sticks and ball. He hits the ball hard. He hits Tom in the leg. Tom falls down. He cries. His leg hurts. + +Ben runs to Tom. He hugs him. He says, "Are you okay, Tom? I am sorry. The big boy is mean. He should not hit you." + +Tom stops crying. He says, "I am okay, Ben. Thank you. My leg hurts, but it will get better. The big boy is mean. He should not take our sticks and ball." + +They look at the big boy. He is playing alone. He does not look happy. He does not have any friends. + +Tom and Ben shrug. They do not care. They have each other. They are friends. They go to find another stick and ball. They play hockey again. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck with a sign that said "Ice Cream". They ran to the truck and asked for a cone each. The man gave them a cone with chocolate and vanilla swirls. They were very happy. + +"Thank you, mister!" they said. + +"You're welcome, kids. But be careful, don't drop your cones. They are very messy," the man said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and walked away with their cones. They saw a slide and a swing in the park. They wanted to play on them. + +"Let's go to the slide first!" Lily said. + +"OK, but don't forget your cone," Ben said. + +They put their cones on a bench and climbed up the slide. They slid down and laughed. They had fun. + +But they did not see a dog that was sniffing around the bench. The dog smelled the cones and licked them. He liked the taste. He ate them all. + +Lily and Ben finished playing on the slide and went back to the bench. They were shocked to see their cones gone. They saw the dog with chocolate and vanilla on his fur. He wagged his tail and barked. + +"Hey, that's our cones!" Lily said. + +"Bad dog! You ate our cones!" Ben said. + +They were sad and angry. They wanted to yell at the dog. But then they saw the man from the truck. He was walking towards them. + +"Hello, kids. Did you enjoy your cones?" he asked. + +Lily and Ben did not know what to say. They were nervous. They did not want to tell the man what happened. They thought he would be mad at them. + +But the man saw the dog and smiled. He said, "Oh, I see. You shared your cones with this dog. That was very nice of you. He is my dog. His name is Spot. He loves ice cream. But he should not eat too much. It is not good for him." + +Lily and Ben felt relieved. They said, "We're sorry, mister. We did not know he was your dog. We did not mean to share our cones with him. We wanted to play on the slide and the swing. We left our cones on the bench. He ate them when we were not looking." + +The man said, "It's OK, kids. I understand. You were just having fun. But next time, be more careful with your cones. They are not toys. They are food. You should eat them before they melt or get eaten by someone else. And you should not leave them alone. They might get lost or stolen." + +Lily and Ben said, "Yes, mister. We will. Thank you for the cones. They were very yummy." + +The man said, "You're welcome, kids. And thank you for being honest. That was very brave of you. You behaved well. Here, have another cone each. But this time, eat them right away. And don't forget to share with Spot. He likes you. He is a good dog." + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, mister. And thank you, Spot. You are a good dog. We like you too." + +They took the cones and licked them. They shared them with Spot. He licked them too. They were happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful, honest, and kind. +Lily and Tom like to play with boats. They have many boats of different colors and sizes. They make a port with blocks and sand. They part the boats in the port. They are careful not to break them. + +One day, they see a big boat in the water. It is red and white and has a loud horn. They want to see it closer. They run to the edge of the water. They are not careful. They slip and fall. + +"Help! Help!" they cry. "We are wet and cold!" + +A man hears them. He is the captain of the big boat. He comes to help them. He picks them up and wraps them in warm blankets. He takes them to his boat. + +"Are you okay?" he asks. "You should be careful near the water. It can be dangerous." + +"We are sorry," Lily and Tom say. "We just wanted to see your boat. It is very nice." + +"Thank you," the captain says. "It is my boat. I part it in the port when I am not working. Do you want to see it?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom say. + +The captain shows them his boat. He shows them the wheel, the horn, the cabin, and the engine. He tells them stories about his travels. Lily and Tom are happy. They learn a lot. They thank the captain for his kindness. + +They go back to their port. They are careful. They play with their boats. They pretend they are captains too. They have fun. +Lily and Max like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make them go fast on the floor and make loud noises. Sometimes they have races to see who has the fastest car. + +One day, they find a big switch on the wall. They do not know what it does. They think it might make their cars go faster. They want to try it. Lily says, "I will go first. You watch me." She picks up her red car and puts it on the floor. She runs to the switch and flips it. + +But the switch does not make her car go faster. It makes something else happen. It turns on the fan on the ceiling. The fan spins very fast and makes a lot of wind. The wind blows Lily's car away. It also blows Max's cars away. It blows their toys and books and clothes away. It makes a big mess in the room. + +Lily and Max are scared and sad. They try to turn off the switch, but they cannot reach it. They cry and call for help. But no one hears them. They are stuck in the room with the fan and the wind and the mess. They wish they never played with the switch. They wish they just played with their cars. They learn a hard lesson. The end. +Lily and Max were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Max said. He put a block on top of his tower. It was very tall and wobbly. + +"Wow, Max, that's a great tower!" Lily said. She wanted to make a tower too. She looked for a block to start with. She saw a block that was different from the others. It was long and thin and had a pointy end. It looked like a spike. + +"What is this, Max?" Lily asked. She picked up the spike block and showed it to Max. + +"That's a spike, Lily. It's not a block. It's for poking things," Max said. He took the spike from Lily and poked his tower with it. The tower fell down with a loud crash. + +"Max, why did you do that?" Lily asked. She was sad. She liked Max's tower. + +"I wanted to see what would happen," Max said. He was not sad. He liked to make things fall down. + +"Can we make another tower?" Lily asked. She still wanted to play with blocks. + +"Okay, Lily, but let's use the original blocks. They are better for building," Max said. He gave the spike back to Lily. + +"Okay, Max, but let's be careful with the spike. It's not for poking towers," Lily said. She put the spike away and took a block. + +They started to build another tower. They used the original blocks. They made it bigger and bigger. They tried to make it not wobble. They had fun. They did not use the spike. They learned a new word. +Lily and Tom were going to visit their grandma. They were very happy because they loved their grandma and she always had yummy cookies and fun toys. They got in the car with their mom and dad and drove for a long time. + +When they got to grandma's house, they saw a big sign on the door. It said "Welcome Lily and Tom!" in bright colors. Lily and Tom were curious. They wondered who made the sign and why. They ran to the door and knocked. + +Grandma opened the door and smiled. She hugged them and said, "Hello, my sweeties! I'm so glad you're here! I made the sign for you because I wanted you to feel welcome and special. Do you like it?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, grandma, we love it! It's very pretty and nice. Thank you, grandma!" + +Grandma said, "You're very welcome, my darlings. Come in, come in. I have cookies and toys for you. And I have a surprise too. Do you want to see it?" + +Lily and Tom said, "Yes, grandma, we want to see it! What is it, grandma?" + +Grandma said, "Follow me, follow me. It's in the backyard. It's something very fun and cute. You'll love it, I'm sure." + +Lily and Tom followed grandma to the backyard. They were very curious and excited. They wondered what the surprise was. They saw a big cage with a small animal inside. It had brown fur and long ears and a fluffy tail. It was a bunny! + +Grandma said, "This is your surprise, my sweeties. This is Fluffy. He's a bunny. He's very friendly and soft. I got him for you because I know you like animals. Do you want to pet him and play with him?" + +Lily and Tom said, "Yes, grandma, we want to pet him and play with him! He's so cute and fluffy! Thank you, grandma!" + +Grandma said, "You're very welcome, my darlings. Fluffy is your new friend. You can visit him whenever you come to my house. He likes carrots and lettuce and cuddles. Be gentle and kind to him, okay?" + +Lily and Tom said, "Okay, grandma, we will. We love you, grandma!" + +Grandma said, "I love you too, my sweeties. Now, let's have some cookies and milk, shall we?" + +Lily and Tom said, "Yes, grandma, we shall!" + +They all went inside and had a lovely time. They ate cookies and milk, played with toys, and talked and laughed. They felt very welcome and happy at grandma's house. They loved grandma and Fluffy very much. They had a wonderful day. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many nuts. They want to find a squirrel. They walk very quietly and look around. + +"Look, there is one!" Mia says and points. Tom sees a small brown animal with a long tail. It is sitting on a branch and eating a nut. It has black eyes and ears. + +"Wow, it is so cute!" Tom says. He wants to get closer. He kneels on the grass and crawls slowly. Mia follows him. They are very careful not to make noise. + +The squirrel hears them and stops eating. It looks at them and makes a funny sound. It is not afraid. It jumps to another branch and drops a nut. The nut falls near Tom and Mia. + +"Can we have it?" Tom asks. He reaches for the nut. + +"No, it is not ours. It is the squirrel's nut. It is important for him. He needs it for winter." Mia says. She knows a lot about animals. She loves to read books with pictures and words. + +"Okay, you are right. We have our own snacks. Let's leave the nut for the squirrel." Tom says. He smiles and waves at the squirrel. The squirrel waves back with its tail and makes another sound. It is happy. + +Tom and Mia stand up and walk away. They are happy too. They have seen a squirrel and learned something new. They go to the bench and eat their sandwiches and apples. They share their stories with their mom and dad. They have had a fun day in the park. +Tom likes to run. He runs every day with his dog Spot. They run in the park, in the street, and in the yard. Running is good exercise. It makes Tom and Spot strong and happy. + +One day, Tom and Spot meet a new friend. Her name is Sue. She has a bike. She asks Tom and Spot if they want to play with her. Tom and Spot say yes. They run after Sue and her bike. Sue is very fast. Tom and Spot try to catch her. + +They have a lot of fun. They run and bike and laugh. They are jolly. They make a lot of noise. They say hello to the birds, the flowers, and the people. They are not tired. They are full of energy. + +Tom, Spot, and Sue are good friends. They like to run and play together. They like to exercise and be jolly. They are happy. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a big truck, a soft bear, and a noisy drum. He played with them every day, but he had to stop when it was night. Night was when it was dark and he had to go to bed. + +But Tom did not like to go to bed. He wanted to play more. He did not want to sleep. He said, "No, no, no!" to his mom and dad. He tried to hide under the table, behind the sofa, and in the closet. But his mom and dad always found him and took him to his room. + +One night, Tom had a terrible idea. He thought, "I will not sleep. I will play all night. I will sneak out of my room and get my toys." He waited until his mom and dad were asleep. Then he got out of his bed and opened his door. He tiptoed to the living room, where his toys were. + +But when he got there, he saw something scary. There was a big shadow on the wall. It looked like a monster. It had horns, claws, and teeth. It made a loud roar. Tom was very afraid. He dropped his toys and ran back to his room. He jumped into his bed and pulled the covers over his head. He wished he had not tried to play all night. + +The next morning, Tom told his mom and dad what he saw. They smiled and hugged him. They said, "That was not a monster, Tom. That was your dad's coat on the rack. The light from the window made it look like a shadow. And the roar was your drum, that you bumped into. It was not scary, it was silly." + +Tom felt silly too. He said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I will not try to play all night again. I will go to bed when you tell me to. I like to sleep. Sleep is good." And he did. He slept well every night, and played well every day. He was a happy boy. +Anna was excited to go to the park with her mom. She put on her pink jacket and zipped up the zipper. She liked the sound of the zipper. It went zzzz. + +"Mom, can we go now?" she asked. + +"Yes, sweetheart, let's go," her mom said. She took Anna's hand and they walked to the park. + +At the park, Anna saw a big slide. She wanted to slide down it. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She looked down and smiled. She was ready to slide. + +But then she saw a boy at the bottom of the slide. He was frowning. He looked angry. He did not want to share the slide. + +"Go away!" he shouted. "This is my slide!" + +Anna felt scared. She did not want to slide anymore. She wanted to go back to her mom. + +"Mom, mom, help!" she cried. + +Her mom heard her and came to the slide. She saw the boy and the frown on his face. + +"Hello, what's your name?" she asked the boy. + +"Tommy," he said. + +"Tommy, why are you frowning?" she asked. + +"Because I don't have any friends to play with," he said. + +"Well, maybe you can make a friend if you share the slide," she said. "Anna, do you want to play with Tommy?" + +Anna nodded. She did not feel scared anymore. She wanted to play. + +"Tommy, do you want to play with Anna?" her mom asked. + +Tommy nodded. He did not feel angry anymore. He wanted to play. + +"Okay, then, why don't you take turns on the slide?" her mom suggested. "Anna, you can go first, and then Tommy, and then Anna again, and so on." + +Anna and Tommy agreed. They smiled at each other. They slid down the slide together. They had fun. They made a friend. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was a big red truck that could make loud noises and move fast. They always took turns to drive the truck and have fun. + +One day, they decided to play with the truck in the backyard, where there was a lot of space and grass. They pushed the truck along the ground, making it go forward and backward, and making it honk and roar. They pretended they were going on a big adventure, and they laughed and shouted. + +"Look, Lily, I can make the truck go reverse!" Tom said, as he pulled the truck back with his hand. + +"Wow, Tom, that's cool! Can I try?" Lily asked, reaching for the truck. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't make it go too fast or too far," Tom warned, as he gave the truck to Lily. + +Lily smiled and took the truck. She pushed it forward, then pulled it back, making it go reverse. She liked the feeling of the truck moving in her hand. She wanted to make it go faster and farther, to see how far it could go. + +She pulled the truck back harder and harder, until it slipped from her hand and flew into the air. She gasped and watched as the truck soared over the fence and landed in the neighbor's yard, where there was a big dog. + +The dog saw the truck and barked loudly. It ran towards the truck and grabbed it with its teeth. It shook the truck and tore it apart, making it break into pieces. It growled and snarled, enjoying its new toy. + +Tom and Lily were shocked and scared. They heard the dog and the truck, and they knew they had made a big mistake. They ran to the fence and peeked over, hoping to see their truck. But all they saw was the dog and the broken pieces. + +They felt sad and sorry. They had lost their favorite toy, and they had made the dog angry. They wished they had listened to Tom and been more careful. They wished they had not made the truck go reverse so hard. + +They looked at each other and said, "We're sorry, truck. We're sorry, dog. We're sorry, mom and dad." + +They hugged each other and went inside, where it was quiet. They hoped they could find another toy to play with, and another way to have fun. They hoped they could be more lively and happy again. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the garden with their dog, Spot. Spot was a funny dog. He liked to chase butterflies and dig holes. Sometimes he barked at the flowers. + +One day, Lily and Max saw a big, green bud in the garden. They wondered what it was. They asked their mom. + +"That is a sunflower," mom said. "It will bloom soon and have a big, yellow face." + +Lily and Max wanted to see the sunflower bloom. They decided to watch it every day. + +The next day, they went to the garden with Spot. They saw the bud was bigger and had a crack. They were excited. + +"Look, Spot, the sunflower is going to bloom!" Lily said. + +Spot looked at the bud. He thought it was a ball. He ran to it and bit it. + +"Spot, no!" Max shouted. + +But it was too late. The bud popped open and a big, yellow face smiled at them. Spot was surprised. He let go of the bud and wagged his tail. + +Lily and Max laughed. They hugged Spot and the sunflower. + +"Spot, you are a funny dog," Lily said. "You made the sunflower bloom!" + +The sunflower nodded. It was happy to have new friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to watch movies together. Lily has a new movie. It is about a fairy and a dragon. Lily wants to teach Ben about fairies and dragons. She says they are delicate and magical. + +They go to Lily's house. They put the movie in the player. They sit on the couch. They eat popcorn. They are happy. + +The movie starts. The fairy is flying in the sky. The dragon is sleeping in a cave. Lily says, "Look, Ben, that is a fairy. She has wings and a wand. She can do magic. And that is a dragon. He has scales and fire. He can fly and roar." + +Ben nods. He likes the movie. He wants to see more. + +But then, something bad happens. The dragon wakes up. He is angry. He sees the fairy. He thinks she is a snack. He flies after her. He opens his mouth. He breathes fire. + +Lily screams. She is scared. She covers her eyes. She says, "No, no, no, dragon, don't eat the fairy. She is delicate and magical. She is your friend. Please, stop, stop, stop." + +Ben is scared too. He does not like the movie. He wants to turn it off. He reaches for the remote. But he is too late. + +The dragon catches the fairy. He bites her. He swallows her. He roars. + +The movie ends. Lily and Ben are sad. They cry. They hug each other. They say, "We don't like this movie. It is too scary. It has a bad ending. We want a happy movie. We want a movie with no dragons." +Sara liked to play with her dishes. She had many dishes of different colors and shapes. She liked to match them and make sets. She had red dishes, blue dishes, round dishes, and square dishes. + +One day, she found a new dish in her toy box. It was yellow and had a flower on it. Sara thought it was pretty, but she did not have any other dish like it. She tried to match it with her red dishes, but it did not look right. She tried to match it with her blue dishes, but it did not look right. She tried to match it with her round dishes and her square dishes, but it did not look right. + +Sara felt sad. She did not want to play with the yellow dish. She thought it was lonely and did not belong. She put it back in her toy box and played with her other dishes. + +The next day, Sara's mom came home with a surprise. She had a bag with something inside. She gave it to Sara and said, "I found something for you at the store. I think you will like it." + +Sara opened the bag and saw another dish. It was yellow and had a flower on it.

Tom asked. + +"No, I want to be the captain!" Lily said. + +They both grabbed the model and pulled it hard. They did not want to share it. They started to yell and fight. + +"Let go of my boat!" Tom shouted. + +"It's not your boat, it's mine!" Lily cried. + +They pulled and pulled until the model broke. The boat snapped in half and the windows, flag and horn fell off.

Sam cried and wished he could go back to his family and friends. He missed them a lot. He wondered if they were looking for him and if they were safe. + +After a long time, he heard a noise. He looked up and saw a little girl. She was the owner of the house and the cat. She saw Sam in the cell and felt sorry for him. She opened the cell and took him out. She held him gently and stroked his fur. She said, "Don't be afraid, little mouse. I won't hurt you. I will help you. You are so cute and soft." + +Sam felt a warm and kind touch. He felt some comfort and stopped crying. He looked at the girl and saw a friendly smile. He felt a little trust and hope. He squeaked, "Thank you, little girl. You are nice and good." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a tall slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Anna says. "You can seat on my lap and we can slide together." + +"No, thank you, Anna. It is too high. I will fall and hurt myself." Ben says. He shakes his head. + +Anna is sad. She does not want to slide alone. She thinks of a way to make Ben feel better. She sees a will tree near the slide.

They wanted to see what was inside, so they opened the door and went in. + +The cabin was dark and dusty. There were some old chairs, a table, and a fireplace. Tom and Lily saw a big book on the table. It had a picture of a witch on the cover. Tom picked up the book and opened it. + +"Look, Lily, this is a book of spells!" he said. "Maybe we can do some magic!" + +Lily was scared. She did not like the book or the cabin. She wanted to go back home. + +"Tom, put down the book. This is a bad place. Let's go!" she said. + +But Tom did not listen. He read a spell from the book. He said some strange words and pointed at Lily. + +Suddenly, Lily felt a change. She looked at her hands and saw that they had become furry and clawed. She looked at her feet and saw that they had become hooves. She looked at her face and saw that she had become a goat! + +Tom was shocked. He did not mean to turn Lily into a goat. He wanted to turn her into a princess.

He saw a big truck with a loud horn. He wanted to drive a truck when he grew up. + +"Mom, can I drive a truck?" he asked. + +"Maybe when you are older, Ben. Driving a truck is tough. You need to be strong and careful and follow the rules," mom said. + +"Why is it tough?" Ben asked. + +"Because trucks are big and heavy and hard to steer. And you have to watch out for other cars and bikes and animals. And you have to know where to go and how to park and unload," mom said. + +Ben thought about that. He still wanted to drive a truck, but he also wanted to be safe and smart. He decided to ask mom more questions later. He saw the church up ahead. He liked the church.

She saw Lily on the floor, crying, and the calendar on fire. She quickly grabbed a blanket and put out the fire. She hugged Lily and checked her arm. It was red and sore, but not very bad.

He and Lily played with their toy cars again and zoomed them on the grass. They were happy and had fun. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand, splash in the water, and look for shells. One day, they found a big, shiny oyster on the shore. They both wanted to have it. + +"Mine!" Tom said, and grabbed the oyster. + +"No, mine!" Lily said, and pulled the oyster. + +They started to tug and fight over the oyster. They did not want to share. + +"Stop!" their mom said, and came over to them. "What are you doing?" + +"We found an oyster, and we both want it!" Tom and Lily said. + +Mom looked at the oyster. She saw that it was closed and heavy. She had an idea. + +"Maybe there is a pearl inside the oyster," she said. "Do you know what a pearl is?" + +Tom and Lily shook their heads. They did not know what a pearl was. + +"A pearl is a small, round, white thing that is very pretty and rare. Sometimes, oysters make pearls inside their shells. But you have to open the oyster to see if there is a pearl or not. Do you want to try?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They wanted to see if there was a pearl. + +"Okay, then you have to work together. The oyster is very hard to open. You have to use a knife and be careful. I will help you. But first, you have to say sorry to each other for fighting." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They felt bad for fighting. They wanted to be friends again. + +"Sorry, Tom," Lily said. + +"Sorry, Lily," Tom said. + +They hugged and smiled. Then they followed mom to the picnic table. Mom got a knife and a towel. She wrapped the oyster in the towel and held it firmly. She slid the knife into the gap between the shells and twisted it. The oyster popped open. + +Tom and Lily gasped. Inside the oyster, there was a shiny, white pearl. + +"Wow!" they said. + +Mom smiled. She took out the pearl and showed it to them. + +"Look, you found a pearl! That is very lucky. It is a beautiful gift from the oyster. Do you want to keep it?" + +Tom and Lily looked at the pearl. They looked at each other. They both wanted the pearl. But they did not want to fight again. They wanted to share. + +"Can we make a necklace with the pearl?" Lily asked. + +"Can we take turns wearing it?" Tom asked. + +Mom nodded. She was proud of them. + +"Of course you can. That is a great idea. You can share the pearl and enjoy it together. You are very good twins." + +Tom and Lily hugged mom and thanked her. They were happy. They had found a pearl and learned to share. They had a fun day on the beach. +Anna liked to play with her old doll. The doll had a dress with a pretty pattern of flowers and dots. Anna liked to brush the doll's hair and sing to her. + +One day, Anna's brother Tom came into her room. He saw the doll and grabbed it. "This is mine now," he said. "It's a cool toy." + +Anna was angry. "No, it's not!" she shouted. "It's my doll. It belongs to me. Give it back!" + +Tom ran away with the doll. He laughed and said, "Too bad. It's mine now. You can't catch me." + +Anna chased him. She cried and said, "Stop! That's not fair. You have your own toys. Leave my doll alone." + +They ran around the house, until they bumped into their mom. She saw the doll and said, "What's going on here? Why are you fighting over this old doll?" + +Anna and Tom both said, "It's mine!" + +Mom looked at the doll and said, "This doll is not yours. It's mine. I used to play with it when I was a little girl. It's very special to me. I gave it to Anna because she likes dolls. Tom, you have to give it back to her. It's not nice to take things that don't belong to you." + +Tom felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't know it was your mom's doll. Here, you can have it back." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. I'm sorry I yelled at you. Do you want to play with me and the doll?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Okay. But can I brush her hair?" + +Anna said, "Sure. But be gentle. She's old and fragile." + +They hugged and went to Anna's room. Mom smiled and said, "That's better. I'm glad you two are getting along. Now, let's go and have some cookies." +Tom and Lily were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to draw different things and imagine stories. Tom drew a big dragon with green scales and red fire. Lily drew a fairy with pink wings and a magic wand. + +"Look at my dragon!" Tom said. "He is very strong and brave. He can fly and burn anything he wants." + +"Look at my fairy!" Lily said. "She is very kind and pretty. She can fly and make wishes come true." + +They showed each other their drawings and smiled. They were proud of their work. + +But then, Sam came along. Sam was older and mean. He liked to tease and bother Tom and Lily. He saw their drawings and laughed. + +"What are these?" Sam said. "They are silly and ugly. Dragons and fairies are not real. You are foolish to imagine them." + +He grabbed an eraser and rubbed it on Tom's dragon and Lily's fairy. He erased their heads and tails and wings. He made their drawings look bad. + +Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They cried and shouted. + +"Stop it, Sam!" Tom said. "You are mean and rude. You are ruining our drawings." + +"Go away, Sam!" Lily said. "You are not nice and fun. You are spoiling our game." + +But Sam did not stop. He kept erasing and laughing. He thought he was clever and funny. + +But then, Mom came along. Mom was kind and fair. She saw what Sam was doing and frowned. + +"What are you doing, Sam?" Mom said. "You are being naughty and hurtful. You are destroying Tom and Lily's drawings." + +She took the eraser from Sam and gave it back to Tom and Lily. She hugged them and comforted them. + +"I'm sorry, Tom and Lily," Mom said. "Your drawings are beautiful and creative. You are smart and imaginative. You can draw whatever you want." + +She helped them fix their drawings and gave them new paper and crayons. She smiled and praised them. + +"Look at your dragon, Tom!" Mom said. "He is very strong and brave. He can fly and burn anything he wants." + +"Look at your fairy, Lily!" Mom said. "She is very kind and pretty. She can fly and make wishes come true." + +Tom and Lily smiled and thanked Mom. They were happy and grateful. They continued to draw and imagine. + +But Sam was not happy. He was ashamed and sorry. He realized he was wrong and mean. + +"I'm sorry, Tom and Lily," Sam said. "Your drawings are not silly and ugly. They are nice and cool. You are not foolish to imagine them." + +He apologized and asked for forgiveness. He wanted to be friends and play with them. + +Tom and Lily forgave Sam and invited him to join them. They shared their paper and crayons. They drew and imagined together. + +They all had fun and learned a lesson. They learned to respect and appreciate each other's drawings and imaginations. They learned to be kind and friendly. They learned to be happy and creative. +Sam and Lily were playing outside at night. They liked to look at the stars and the moon. Sometimes they saw planes or satellites. But tonight they saw something different. + +"Look, look!" Sam shouted. "A big ball of fire in the sky!" + +Lily looked up and saw a bright streak of light. It was a comet. It was impressive. It was moving fast and leaving a long tail behind. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "What is it?" + +"It's a comet," Sam said. "My dad told me about them. They are rocks from space that get very hot when they come close to the sun." + +"Where are they going?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Sam said. "Maybe they are going to another planet. Or maybe they are just passing by." + +They watched the comet for a while. It was getting smaller and fainter. Soon it was gone. + +"Bye, comet!" Sam and Lily said. + +They wished they could see it again. They wondered what it was like to be a comet. They felt happy and curious. + +They heard their mom calling them from inside. + +"Sam, Lily, time for bed!" + +They ran inside. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They hugged their mom and dad good night. + +"Did you see the comet?" their dad asked. + +"Yes, we did!" Sam and Lily said. "It was impressive!" + +They told their dad what they saw and what they learned. Their dad smiled and nodded. + +"That's great," he said. "You are very smart and observant. I'm proud of you." + +He tucked them in and kissed them. + +"Sleep well, my stars," he said. + +He turned off the light and closed the door. + +Sam and Lily closed their eyes. They dreamed of comets and stars and planets. They dreamed of flying in space. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They collect flowers and rocks and bugs. They make a big pile of their things. + +"Look at our pile!" Sara says. "We have so many things. We are rich!" + +Ben nods. He sees something green in the pile. He picks it up. It is broccoli. + +"Yuck!" Ben says. "What is this? I don't like it. It is not a flower or a rock or a bug. It is food. And it is bad food." + +Sara laughs. She likes broccoli. She thinks it is good food. She takes the broccoli from Ben. + +"It is not bad food. It is good food. It is broccoli. I like broccoli. It makes me strong and healthy. And it is green like a flower. It is a good thing to collect." + +Ben makes a face. He does not think broccoli is a good thing to collect. He thinks it is a bad thing to eat. + +"No, it is not. It is a bad thing to collect. And it is a bad thing to eat. It makes me sick and sad. And it is not green like a flower. It is green like a frog. And I don't like frogs." + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They are friends. But they do not agree about broccoli. They do not know what to do with it. + +"Maybe we can share it," Sara says. "You can have half and I can have half. Then we can both be happy." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to share broccoli. He does not want to have any broccoli. + +"Maybe we can trade it," Ben says. "You can have the broccoli and I can have something else. Then we can both be happy." + +Sara thinks. She likes broccoli. But she also likes Ben. She wants to make him happy. She looks at the pile. She sees something shiny. She picks it up. It is a coin. + +"OK," Sara says. "We can trade. You can have the coin and I can have the broccoli. Then we can both be happy." + +Ben smiles. He likes coins. He thinks they are shiny and pretty and valuable. He takes the coin from Sara. + +"OK," Ben says. "We can trade. You can have the broccoli and I can have the coin. Then we can both be happy." + +Sara and Ben hug. They are happy. They are friends. They are rich. They have many things to collect. And they have each other. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and catch the ball. Anna throws the ball high in the air. Ben runs to catch it, but he is too slow. The ball falls on the ground and rolls away. + +"Ben, catch the ball!" Anna shouts. + +"I'm trying, I'm trying!" Ben says. + +They chase the ball, but it goes too fast. It goes near the road, where the cars are. Anna and Ben know they are not allowed to go near the road. It is dangerous and bad. + +"Stop, Ben, stop!" Anna says. "We can't touch the ball. It is not important." + +But Ben does not listen. He wants to catch the ball. He runs after it, and does not see the car coming. The car is big and loud and fast. + +"Ben, look out!" Anna screams. + +The car stops, just in time. Ben is scared and cries. The driver gets out of the car. He is angry and scared too. + +"What are you doing, kid? You could have been hurt!" he says. "Don't you know the road is not for playing?" + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Ben says. "I just wanted to catch the ball." + +The driver picks up the ball and gives it to Ben. He is not so angry now. He sees that Ben is just a little boy. + +"Here, take your ball. But be careful, okay? The ball is not worth your life. Your life is important," he says. + +Ben nods and says thank you. He hugs the ball and runs back to Anna. Anna hugs him too. She is happy that he is okay. + +"Ben, I'm sorry I threw the ball so high. I didn't mean to make you run to the road," she says. + +"It's okay, Anna. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. You were right. The ball is not important. You are important," he says. + +They smile and hold hands. They walk back to the park, away from the road. They decide to play something else. Something safe and fun. They are still friends. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals. Lily was a lion and Ben was a monkey. They roared and chattered and jumped around. + +"Clap, clap, clap!" said Mommy, coming into the room. "You are very good at playing. But it is time to have a bath and go to bed. Come on, let's go upstairs." + +Lily and Ben did not want to stop playing. They wanted to stay up and have more fun. They shook their heads and hid behind the sofa. + +"No, no, no!" they said. "We are not tired. We want to play more." + +Mommy sighed and smiled. She knew they were just being silly. She tried to coax them out of their hiding place. + +"Please, come out. I have a surprise for you. If you have a bath and go to bed, I will read you a story. A very nice story, with pictures and sounds. Don't you want to hear it?" + +Lily and Ben peeked out from behind the sofa. They liked stories. They liked pictures and sounds. They wondered what the story was about. + +"What story is it?" they asked. + +Mommy held up a book. It had a big red dragon on the cover. It looked scary and exciting. + +"It is a story about a brave knight and a foolish dragon. The dragon was a threat to the kingdom. He breathed fire and stole sheep and scared people. But the knight was not afraid. He had a sword and a shield and a horse. He went to fight the dragon and save the day. Do you want to hear what happened?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to hear what happened. They wanted to see the dragon and the knight. They wanted to know who won. They crawled out from behind the sofa and followed Mommy upstairs. They had a bath and put on their pajamas. They climbed into their beds and snuggled under the covers. Mommy sat down and opened the book. She started to read. + +"Once upon a time, there was a brave knight and a foolish dragon..." +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they have a big fight over a toy car. They pull and push and shout. + +"Mine!" Tom says. + +"No, mine!" Lily says. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the toy car and the angry twins. She is not happy. + +"Stop it, Tom and Lily!" Mom says. "You need to share. The toy car is for both of you." + +But Tom and Lily do not listen. They keep fighting. Mom is very grumpy. She takes the toy car and puts it on a high shelf. + +"Fine. If you can't share, you can't play. You need to separate. Tom, you go to your room. Lily, you go to the living room. No more fighting." + +Tom and Lily are sad and sorry. They do not want to separate. They want to play together. They look at Mom with sad faces. + +"Please, Mom. We are sorry. Can we have the toy car back?" they say. + +Mom sees their faces and sighs. She is not grumpy anymore. She loves her twins. + +"Okay. But only if you promise to share and be nice. And say sorry to each other." + +Tom and Lily hug and say sorry. Mom gives them the toy car and a kiss. They go to play together. They are happy. Mom is happy too. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat snacks. One day, they have some tasty cookies for their snack. Mom gives them two cookies each and tells them to share. + +Tom eats his cookies very fast. He is still hungry. He looks at Lily's cookies. They look so yummy. He wants to eat them too. He tries to grab them from Lily's hand. + +Lily is not happy. She wants to eat her cookies slowly. She does not want to share with Tom. He already had his cookies. She pulls her hand away from Tom. She says, "No, Tom! These are mine!" + +Tom and Lily start to fight. They push and pull and shout. Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the cookies on the floor and the twins crying. + +Mom is not happy. She says, "Tom and Lily, you are being naughty. You need to learn to share and be kind. Now you have no cookies left. You have to spend some time in your rooms and think about what you did." + +Tom and Lily feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Tom." They hug each other and go to their rooms. They hope Mom will give them some more cookies later. They promise to share and be nice. +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would kick it, throw it, and roll it in the park. One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a blue hat and a green bike. He looked at Tim and Sam and their ball. + +"Can I play with you?" he asked. + +Tim and Sam looked at each other. They did not know the new boy. They liked their ball and did not want to share it. + +"No, you can't," Tim said. "This is our ball. Go away." + +The new boy felt sad. He wanted to make friends and have fun. He did not understand why Tim and Sam were mean. He tried to be calm and nice. + +"Please, can I play with you?" he asked again. "I can show you my bike. It is very fast and cool." + +Sam shook his head. He did not care about the bike. He wanted to keep the ball. + +"No, you can't," he said. "We don't want to play with you. You are not our friend. Go away." + +The new boy felt angry. He did not like Tim and Sam. They were rude and selfish. He decided to get the ball and teach them a lesson. He waited for a moment when Tim and Sam were not looking. Then he ran to the ball and grabbed it. He threw it as hard as he could over the fence. + +"Ha, ha, ha!" he laughed. "Now you can't play with your ball. How do you like that?" + +Tim and Sam were shocked. They saw their ball fly away and disappear. They could not believe what the new boy did. They felt sad and mad. They started to cry and yell. + +"Hey, give us back our ball!" Tim shouted. + +"That's not fair! That's not nice!" Sam screamed. + +But it was too late. The new boy rode away on his bike. He did not care about Tim and Sam. He did not want to be their friend. He was happy to have the ball. + +Tim and Sam were left alone in the park. They had no ball and no fun. They learned a hard lesson. They wished they had been kinder to the new boy. They wished they had shared their ball. They wished they had a friend. +Sara was a very intelligent girl. She liked to solve puzzles and read books. She also loved animals, especially kittens. One day, she saw a kitten in the park. It was small and gray, and it looked very sad. + +"Hello, kitten," Sara said. "Why are you so sad?" + +The kitten meowed softly. It was hungry and cold. It had no home and no friends. + +Sara felt sorry for the kitten. She wanted to help it. She had some bread and cheese in her backpack. She took them out and gave them to the kitten. The kitten ate them happily. + +"Thank you, girl," the kitten said. "You are very kind." + +Sara smiled. She liked the kitten. She wanted to keep it. She asked the kitten, "Do you want to come with me? I have a big house and a warm bed. You can be my friend." + +The kitten nodded. It wanted to go with Sara. It liked her too. It followed her to her house. + +But when they got to the house, Sara's mom was angry. She did not like animals. She did not want a kitten in her house. She yelled at Sara and the kitten. + +"Get that dirty thing out of here!" she said. "You can't keep it. It will make a mess and scratch the furniture. Take it back to the park right now!" + +Sara was sad and scared. She did not want to leave the kitten. She tried to solve the problem. She begged her mom to let her keep the kitten. She promised to take good care of it. She said it was very smart and friendly. + +But her mom did not listen. She did not care. She grabbed the kitten and threw it out of the door. The kitten landed on the street. It was hurt and scared. It ran away. + +Sara cried. She ran after the kitten. She wanted to find it and hug it. She wanted to say sorry. But she could not see it. It was gone. + +Sara never saw the kitten again. She was very sad. She missed the kitten. She wished she could solve the problem. But she could not. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big brown pumpkin on the ground. Lily wanted to pick it up, but it was too heavy. + +"Let's rock it!" Ben said. He pushed the pumpkin with his hands. Lily pushed too. The pumpkin moved a little bit. + +"Rock, rock, rock!" they chanted. The pumpkin rolled faster and faster. It bumped into a fence and broke into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "We broke the pumpkin!" + +Ben looked at the pieces. He saw some seeds and some orange stuff. He smiled. + +"Look, Lily!" he said. "We can make something with the pumpkin. We can make a pie, or a soup, or a lantern. Do you want to try?" + +Lily stopped crying. She nodded. She liked to make things. + +"OK, Ben," she said. "Let's make something with the pumpkin. But first, we have to say sorry to Mommy. She grew the pumpkin for us." + +They ran to the house and told Mommy what happened. Mommy was not angry. She hugged them and said they could help her in the kitchen. + +They washed their hands and put on aprons. They scooped out the seeds and the orange stuff. They mixed them with some eggs and some sugar and some spice. They put them in a pan and baked them in the oven. + +Soon, the house smelled like pumpkin pie. Lily and Ben were happy. They rocked the pumpkin, and they made a pie. They ate some with Mommy and Daddy. It was yummy. They said thank you to the pumpkin for giving them a fun and tasty day. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bush with many flowers. They want to pick some flowers for their moms. + +"Look, Sam, this bush has red flowers and yellow flowers. Let's sort them by color. I will take the red ones and you take the yellow ones," Tom says. + +"OK, Tom, that sounds fun. But we have to be fast. We don't want to hurt the bush or make it sad," Sam says. + +They start to pick the flowers and sort them in their hands. They are careful not to take too many or break the stems. They are happy and proud of their work. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is the park ranger. He is not happy. He sees the boys and the flowers. + +"Hey, you two, what are you doing? You are not supposed to pick the flowers from the bush. They are for everyone to enjoy. They are part of nature. You are hurting the bush and the bees and the birds. Put them back right now!" he says. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They did not know they were doing something wrong. They thought they were being nice and helpful. + +"We are sorry, sir. We wanted to give the flowers to our moms. We sorted them by color. We were fast. We did not mean to hurt the bush or the animals," Tom says. + +"Well, I appreciate your honesty and your good intentions, but you have to learn to respect nature and its rules. Flowers are not toys or gifts. They are living things that need to stay in the bush. You can look at them and smell them, but not touch them or take them. Do you understand?" the park ranger says. + +Tom and Sam nod. They feel sorry and ashamed. They put the flowers back in the bush. They apologize to the bush and the park ranger. + +"Thank you for doing the right thing. I hope you learned your lesson. Next time, if you want to give something to your moms, you can draw a picture of the flowers or make a card. That would be more creative and kind. Now, go and play somewhere else, but be careful and respectful," the park ranger says. + +Tom and Sam say goodbye and thank you. They run to the playground. They decide to make a card for their moms with crayons and stickers. They write "We love you" and "We are sorry". They are happy and proud of their work. They learned to respect nature and its rules. They are good friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a shiny thing in the grass. It is gold. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up the gold and shows it to Mia. + +"It is so pretty!" Mia says. She stares at the gold. She wants to touch it too. + +"Can I have it?" she asks Tom. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes the gold, but he likes Mia more. He is a reliable friend. + +"Okay, you can have it. But we have to share it, okay?" he says. + +"Okay, thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." Mia says. She smiles and hugs Tom. + +They put the gold in their pocket and run to the swings. They are happy. They have a new treasure and a good friend. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lily brings a photo to show Ben. It is a photo of her family. Lily points to the people in the photo and says their names. + +"This is my mom. She is kind and pretty. This is my dad. He is strong and funny. This is my baby brother. He is cute and noisy. And this is me. I am smart and brave." + +Ben looks at the photo and smiles. He likes Lily's family. He says, "Your family is nice. Can I meet them?" + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, you can. They will come to pick me up soon. Do you want to show me your photo?" + +Ben shakes his head and looks sad. He says, "I don't have a photo. I don't have a family. I live in a home with other kids. They are not kind. They are mean and rude. They take my toys and books. They call me bad names. I don't like them." + +Lily feels sorry for Ben. She says, "That is not fair. You deserve a family. You deserve to be happy. You are my friend. I will share my toys and books with you. I will call you good names. I will be kind to you." + +Ben hugs Lily and says, "Thank you. You are my friend. You are the best." + +They play together until Lily's mom and dad come to pick her up. They see Ben and Lily holding hands. They smile and say hello. They ask Lily who Ben is. Lily says, "This is Ben. He is my friend. He is smart and brave. He doesn't have a family. Can he come with us?" + +Lily's mom and dad look at each other and nod. They say, "Of course he can. We have room for one more. We can be his family. We can be kind to him." + +Ben's eyes light up. He can't believe it. He says, "Really? You mean it?" + +Lily's mom and dad say, "Yes, we do. We mean it." + +They take Ben and Lily to their car. They give them both a hug and a kiss. They say, "Welcome to our family, Ben. We are happy to have you." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you. I am happy to have you too." + +They drive away, happy and hopeful. They have a new photo to make. A photo of their family. A kind and nice family. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw an enormous bus with many seats inside. They wanted to go on the bus and see the city. + +"Can we hop on the bus, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, but we need to pay the driver first," Mom said. She gave them some coins and they followed her to the bus. + +Anna and Ben hopped on the bus and looked for a seat. They saw a seat near the window and ran to it. They sat down and buckled their belts. + +"Wow, look at all the cars and buildings!" Ben said. He pointed at the window. + +Anna nodded. She saw a big park with a pond and ducks. She liked the ducks. She wanted to feed them bread. + +"Can we go to the park later, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"Maybe, if we have time," Mom said. She smiled and hugged them. + +Anna and Ben were happy. They liked the bus ride. They saw many new things. They hoped to see the park and the ducks too. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and pretend they are famous. One day, they find a big shoe in the closet. It is shiny and red and has a wing on each side. + +"Wow, look at this shoe!" Anna says. "It is so pretty and cool!" + +"Maybe it can fly!" Ben says. "Let's try it on and see!" + +They take turns to wear the shoe and run around the room. They flap their arms and make whoosh sounds. They feel like they are flying. + +"Look at me, I'm a famous flyer!" Anna says. + +"Me too, I'm a famous flyer!" Ben says. + +They have so much fun with the shoe. They do not hear their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Anna, Ben, come downstairs!" Mom says. "It's time to eat!" + +But Anna and Ben do not want to stop playing. They want to fly more. + +"Let's hide the shoe under the bed," Anna says. "We can play with it later." + +"OK, let's do that," Ben says. + +They take off the shoe and put it under the bed. They run downstairs to eat. They do not see the shoe glow and move by itself. They do not know that the shoe is magic and has a secret. +Tim and Mia liked to bounce on the big bed. They jumped up and down and laughed. They pretended they were rabbits and made funny noises. + +"Look, I can bounce higher than you!" Tim said to Mia. + +"No, you can't! I can bounce higher!" Mia said back. + +They bounced harder and harder. They did not see the hole in the bed sheet. They did not hear the rip. They were careless. + +Suddenly, Tim bounced too high and fell through the hole. He landed on the floor with a thud. He cried out loud. + +"Mia, help me! I'm stuck in the hole!" Tim said. + +Mia stopped bouncing and looked at Tim. She was scared. She ran to the hole and tried to pull Tim out. But he was too big. + +"Mia, I can't get out! It hurts!" Tim said. + +Mia did not know what to do. She ran to the door and called for Mom. + +"Mom, Mom, come quick! Tim is in the hole!" Mia said. + +Mom heard Mia and came to the room. She saw Tim in the hole and Mia by the door. She was angry and worried. + +"What have you done? How did you make this hole?" Mom said. + +"We were bouncing on the bed. We were rabbits. We did not see the hole. We were careless." Mia said. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She went to the bed and lifted Tim out of the hole. She hugged him and checked if he was hurt. + +"Tim, are you okay? Do you have any cuts or bruises?" Mom said. + +"I'm okay, Mom. I'm sorry. I won't bounce on the bed again." Tim said. + +Mom looked at Mia and said, "And you, Mia. You should not bounce on the bed either. It is dangerous and it ruins the bed. You should be careful." + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I won't bounce on the bed again." Mia said. + +Mom nodded and said, "Good. Now, let's go and get some ice for Tim's bump. And then we'll fix the hole. And then we'll find a better way to play rabbits. Okay?" + +"Okay, Mom." Tim and Mia said. + +They followed Mom out of the room. They learned their lesson. They did not bounce on the bed again. They were careful. +Ben likes to play golf with his dad. He has a small golf stick and a ball. He tries to hit the ball into a hole in the grass. Sometimes he misses, but he keeps trying. + +One day, Ben's golf stick breaks. He is sad and cries. His dad says, "Don't worry, Ben. We can fix it. Let's go to the garage and find some tape." + +They go to the garage and look for tape. They see a big black box with many tools inside. Ben's dad says, "This is my toolbox. It has many things to fix stuff. But we only need tape for your golf stick." + +He takes out a roll of tape and wraps it around the broken part of the golf stick. He says, "There, it's fixed. Now you can play golf again. Do you want to try it?" + +Ben smiles and nods. He takes his golf stick and his ball and goes to the backyard. He hits the ball with his fixed golf stick. It flies far and lands near the hole. Ben is happy and says, "Thank you, dad. You are the best fixer ever!" +Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore the house. One day, she saw a big shelf in the living room. It had many books and toys and pictures on it. Lily wanted to see them better, so she climbed on a chair and reached for the shelf. + +"Be careful, Lily!" her mom said. "That shelf is not for you. It is for grown-ups. You might fall or break something. Come down now and I will show you your own shelf in your room. It has many nice things for you to play with. Promise me you will not touch the shelf again." + +Lily nodded and said, "I promise, mom." She came down from the chair and followed her mom to her room. Her mom showed her her own shelf, which had her favorite books and toys and pictures on it. Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. I like my shelf. It is for me." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you. You are a good girl. Now you can play with your shelf, but remember your promise. Do not touch the shelf in the living room. It is not safe for you." + +Lily said, "I remember, mom. I will not touch it. I will play with my shelf." She picked up a book and started to read.

He can talk and read and write. He likes to learn new things. + +"Yes, I want to play with you," the bear says. "What do you like to do?" + +"We like to swing and slide and run and jump," Ben says. "Do you like to do that too?" + +The bear smiles. He likes to do that too. He follows Lily and Ben to the playground. They have fun together. They swing and slide and run and jump.

Lily did not like dogs. They were loud and big and scary. + +On her birthday, Lily woke up early. She ran to the living room. She saw a big box with a bow. She hoped it was a kitten. She opened the box. She saw a furry thing. It was not a kitten. It was a puppy. Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want a puppy. + +"Happy birthday, Lily!" her mom and dad said. "We got you a puppy. His name is Spot. He is very friendly and cute. He will be your best friend." + +Lily looked at the puppy. He was not cute. He was ugly. He had one black eye and one brown eye. He had a big spot on his back. He had a crooked tail. He looked at Lily and wagged his tail. He licked her face. + +Lily pushed him away. She cried. "I don't want him! I want a kitten! A kitten is soft and pretty and quiet. A puppy is rough and ugly and noisy. Take him back!" + +Her mom and dad looked sad. They tried to hug Lily. They said they loved her. They said they wanted to make her happy. They said they could not take the puppy back. They said he needed a home and a family. They said he was a special puppy. They said he was a gift from Lily's grandma, who was very sick and could not visit. + +Lily stopped crying. She realized that her grandma loved her. She realized that her mom and dad loved her. She realized that the puppy loved her. She felt sorry for being mean. She looked at the puppy again. He was still ugly. But he was also sweet and funny and loyal. He was not a kitten. But he was her puppy. + +She smiled. She hugged the puppy. She said, "Thank you, mom and dad. Thank you, grandma. I love you. I love Spot. He is my best friend." +Tom and Mia were best friends.

Tom and Mia wanted to see it better. + +"Look, Mia, a bird!" Tom said. + +"Wow, Tom, it is so big!" Mia said. + +They ran after the bird with their wagon. They followed it to the park. There, they saw a hill. The bird landed on a tree on top of the hill. + +"Let's go up the hill, Mia!" Tom said. + +"OK, Tom, but be careful!" Mia said. + +They pushed their wagon up the hill. It was hard work, but they made it. They parked their wagon near the tree and looked at the bird. The bird looked at them and made a loud sound. + +"Hello, bird!" Tom said. + +"Hello, kids!" the bird said. + +Tom and Mia were surprised. The bird could talk! + +"Who are you, bird?" Mia asked. + +"I am a hawk. I like to soar in the sky and look for food. What are you doing here?" the bird asked. + +"We are playing with our wagon. It is green and has four wheels. Do you want to see it?" Tom asked. + +The hawk nodded. Tom and Mia showed him their wagon. The hawk liked their toys and snacks. He shared some with them. + +"Thank you, kids. You are very nice. Do you want to soar with me?" the hawk asked. + +Tom and Mia looked at each other. They wanted to soar with the hawk, but they were afraid. + +"How can we soar with you, hawk? We don't have wings," Mia said. + +"Don't worry, I have an idea. Come with me," the hawk said. + +He flew to their wagon and grabbed the handle with his claws. He lifted the wagon in the air with his strong wings. Tom and Mia held on tight. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They soared with the hawk over the park and the town. They saw many things and had fun. + +Tom and Mia were happy. They had a new friend and a new adventure. They soared with the hawk and their green wagon. +Tom and Lily were playing with their new toy.

Lily shouted, pulling the piece back. + +They started to fight and tug at the piece. They did not see that their toy was near the edge of the table. As they pulled harder, the toy fell off the table and broke into many pieces. The images they made were gone. + +Tom and Lily stopped fighting and looked at their toy. They felt sad and angry.

What's your name?" + +Tom feels shy. He does not know what to say. He looks at his mom, but she is busy paying for the things. He looks at his book, but it is in his bag. He wishes he could hide behind the stand. + +Lily walks closer to Tom. She says, "Do you like toys? I like dolls and cars. What do you like?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes toys, too.

Lily said. + +"Yes, he is. But we have to be careful. The sun is very bright and warm. It can melt the snow." Ben said. + +"What is melt?" Lily asked. + +"Melt is when something becomes water. Like ice becomes water when it is hot." Ben explained. + +"Oh, I see. I don't want our snowman to melt. He is our friend." Lily said. + +"Me neither. Let's bring him inside the house. Maybe he can stay cold there." Ben said. + +They ran inside the house and got a big cup. They filled it with snow and put the carrot nose on top.

"You took my pegs! Give them back!" + +"No, I won't!" Tom said. "I want to make my flower increase. It will be the biggest flower ever!" + +Lily felt sad and angry.

Come on, let's go!" She said. + +They ran to the bathroom and filled the tub with water. They put on their goggles and got ready to dive. + +"One, two, three, dive!" Lily shouted. + +They plunged into the water and pretended to swim. They saw colorful fish and bubbles. They looked for the ship. + +"Look, there it is!" Ben pointed. He saw a cabinet under the water. It had a lock and a key. + +"Wow, that must be the treasure chest!" Lily said. She swam to the cabinet and grabbed the key. She was very smart and knew how to open locks. She turned the key and opened the cabinet. + +Inside, they saw shiny coins and jewels. They also saw a necklace with a big heart. + +"It's beautiful!" Lily said. She put the necklace around her neck. + +"You look like a princess!" Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged. They were very happy. They had found the treasure. They were the best pirates ever. +Anna and Ben are playing with water in the garden. They splash and laugh and make bubbles. They are very happy. + +But then, Mom calls them. "Anna! Ben! Time to go inside! You are all wet!" + +Anna and Ben do not want to stop playing. They say, "No, Mom! We want to play more!" + +Mom says, "You can play more later. But now, you need to dry off and get warm. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +Anna and Ben follow Mom to the bathroom. Mom gives them big towels and helps them dry their hair and body. She says, "You are such good kids. I love you very much." + +Anna and Ben hug Mom and say, "We love you too, Mom. Thank you for the towels." + +Mom says, "You're welcome. Now, put on your pajamas and I'll read you a story." + +Anna and Ben put on their pajamas and go to their bedroom. They are still happy. They like playing with water, but they also like drying off and cuddling with Mom. They can't wait for the story. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they waved to the other children who were playing too. + +One day, a big dog came running into the park. It was barking loudly and chasing the ball. Tom and Mia were scared of the dog. They ran away from it, but the dog was faster. It bit Tom on his leg and made him fall down. Mia screamed and ran to Tom. She saw blood on his leg and tears on his face. + +"Help! Help!" Mia shouted. "Tom is hurt! The dog bit him!" + +Some people heard Mia and came to help. They called an ambulance on their phone. They tried to stop the blood and make Tom feel better. They told Mia to be brave and stay with Tom. + +Soon, the ambulance came. It had a loud siren and flashing lights. The people who worked in the ambulance were wearing white clothes. They put Tom on a stretcher and put him in the ambulance. They told Mia to come with them. They said they would take Tom to the hospital and make him well again. + +Mia was very sad and scared. She hugged Tom and said, "I love you, Tom. You will be okay. I will be with you." + +Tom looked at Mia and smiled weakly. He said, "I love you too, Mia. Thank you for being my friend." + +They waved to the people who helped them as the ambulance drove away. They hoped the dog was not dead, but they never wanted to see it again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. One day, they found a small mouse hiding under a leaf. The mouse was scared and ran away. + +"Let's catch the mouse!" Ben said. He wanted to keep it as a pet. + +"No, Ben, that's not nice. The mouse wants to be free," Lily said. She was honest and kind. + +Ben did not listen. He ran after the mouse with a net. Lily followed him. She tried to stop him. + +They chased the mouse across the garden, but they could not catch it. The mouse was fast and smart. It ran into a hole under a big tree. + +"Ha! I got you now, mouse!" Ben said. He put his net over the hole. He waited for the mouse to come out. + +But the mouse did not come out. Instead, a big snake came out. The snake was angry and hungry. It saw Ben and his net. + +"SSSSS! What are you doing here, boy?" the snake hissed. It opened its mouth wide. + +"Help! Help!" Ben screamed. He dropped his net and ran away. + +Lily ran to him. She hugged him and comforted him. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked. + +"Yes, I'm okay. But I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. I should not have tried to catch the mouse. It was not nice. And it was dangerous," Ben said. + +Lily smiled. She was glad that Ben was safe and sorry. + +"It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, listen to me. I have good ideas. I suggest we play something else. How about we make a sandcastle?" she said. + +Ben nodded. He agreed with Lily. He liked her ideas. + +"Okay, Lily. Let's make a sandcastle. And let's leave the mouse and the snake alone. They are not our friends," he said. + +They went to the sandbox and played happily. They made a big sandcastle with shells and sticks. They forgot about the mouse and the snake. They were good friends. The end. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with fire. They have a box of matches. They sneak out of the house when Mom is busy. They go to the park. They find a pile of dry leaves. + +"Let's make a fire!" Ben says. He takes a match and strikes it on the box. The match makes a bright flame. He throws it on the leaves. + +"Wow, look at that!" Sam says. He takes another match and does the same. The leaves start to burn. They make a lot of smoke and heat. + +"Ha ha, this is fun!" Ben says. He takes more matches and throws them on the fire. The fire grows bigger and bigger. + +"Stop, Ben, stop!" Sam says. He feels scared. The fire is too big. It is too hot. It is too close. He tries to run away, but he trips and falls. His hand touches the fire. He screams. + +"Sam, Sam, are you okay?" Ben says. He runs to his brother. He sees his hand. It is red and blistered. It looks very bad. He feels sorry. He feels guilty. He feels afraid. + +"Help, help, someone help us!" Ben shouts. He hopes someone will hear him. He hopes Mom will come. He hopes Sam will not suffer too much. He wishes he never played with matches. He wishes he listened to Mom. He wishes he was not so rough. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. They wanted to feed them some bread. + +They walked to the pond and threw some bread in the water. The ducks came and ate the bread. They quacked and splashed. Lily and Tom laughed and clapped. + +But then they saw something else in the water. It was big and green and had many teeth. It was a crocodile! It opened its mouth and snapped at the ducks. The ducks flew away. The crocodile saw Lily and Tom and swam towards them. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They ran away from the pond. They shouted for help. + +"Help! Help! There is a crocodile in the pond!" + +A man heard them and came to see. He saw the crocodile and called the zoo. The zoo came and took the crocodile away. They said it had escaped from its cage. + +Lily and Tom were safe. They hugged the man and thanked him. They said they would never go near the pond again. They went back to play on the slide. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are going on a holiday with their mum and dad. They are very excited. They pack their bags with clothes, toys and books. They also take their teddy bears, Lily and Sam. + +The next day, they go to the airport. They see many big planes. They have to wait in a long line. Anna and Ben are bored. They want to play. + +"Mum, can we do something?" Anna asks. + +"Not now, sweetie. We have to stay here until it is our turn," Mum says. + +"But I'm hungry. And thirsty. And tired," Ben says. + +"I know, honey. Me too. But we have to be patient. Soon we will be on the plane and then we will have some snacks and a nap," Dad says. + +Anna and Ben sigh. They hug their teddy bears. They look at the planes. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is their plane. It is ready to go. They have to hurry. + +"Come on, kids. Let's go. It's time to board the plane," Mum says. + +Anna and Ben follow their mum and dad. They walk to the gate. They show their tickets. They go inside the plane. + +They find their seats. They buckle their seat belts. They put their bags and teddy bears under the seats. + +Anna and Ben are a little worried. They have never been on a plane before. They don't know what it will be like. + +"Mum, will the plane fly fast?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, darling. The plane will fly very fast. But don't be scared. It is safe and fun," Mum says. + +"Dad, will the plane go high?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, buddy. The plane will go very high. But don't be worried. It is amazing and beautiful," Dad says. + +Anna and Ben try to be brave. They hold their mum's and dad's hands. They listen to the pilot. He says hello and welcome. He says they will take off soon. + +The plane starts to move. It goes faster and faster. It makes a loud noise. It lifts off the ground. + +Anna and Ben feel a strange feeling in their tummies. They look out the window. They see the clouds and the sky. + +They smile. They are not worried anymore. They are happy. + +They are on a holiday. +Tom liked to number his toys. He had one car, two balls, three books, and four dolls. He put them in a line and counted them every day. He was very proud of his toys. + +One day, his cousin Lily came to visit. Lily was rude. She did not say hello to Tom or his mom. She ran to his room and saw his toys. She liked the rose doll best. It had a pink dress and a red flower in its hair. She grabbed it and said, "This is mine now!" + +Tom was angry. He said, "No, that is my doll! Give it back!" He tried to take it from Lily, but she was stronger. She pushed him and said, "You have too many toys. You don't need this one. I do!" + +Tom cried. He ran to his mom and told her what Lily did. His mom was sad. She said, "Lily, that is not nice. You have to share and be kind. You can't take Tom's toys without asking. How would you feel if he did that to you?" + +Lily did not care. She said, "I don't care. I like this doll. It is pretty. Tom is a baby. He can play with his other toys." She hugged the rose doll and stuck out her tongue. + +Tom's mom was mad. She said, "Lily, that is very rude. You have to say sorry to Tom and give him back his doll. Or you can't play here anymore." + +Lily did not want to leave. She liked Tom's toys. She said, "Fine. I'm sorry, Tom. Here is your doll." She threw the rose doll on the floor and ran to the car. She did not say goodbye. + +Tom picked up his rose doll and hugged it. He was happy. He said, "Thank you, mom. Lily is mean. I don't want to play with her again." + +His mom said, "You're welcome, Tom. I'm sorry she was rude to you. You are a good boy. You can play with your toys now. Do you want to number them again?" + +Tom said, "Yes, mom. I want to number them again. I have one car, two balls, three books, and four dolls. And the rose doll is my favorite." He smiled and counted his toys. He was very proud of his toys. +Lily was a little cat who liked to play with her toys. She had a ball, a mouse, and a fish. She liked to chase them and catch them with her paws. Her paws had sharp claws that she could use to scratch and grab. + +One day, Lily saw a new toy on the floor. It was a red balloon. It looked round and shiny and fun. Lily wanted to play with it. She ran to the balloon and tried to catch it with her paws. But when she touched it, the balloon made a loud noise and popped. Lily was scared and jumped back. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She felt a pain in her paw. She looked at it and saw a small hole and some blood. The balloon had hurt her paw with its sharp edge. She felt sad and angry. + +"Bad balloon! Bad balloon!" Lily hissed. She wanted to throw it away. But then she heard a voice. + +"Lily, what happened?" It was her mom, who came to see what was wrong. She saw the popped balloon and Lily's paw. She picked up Lily and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. That was not a toy. That was a balloon. It was for the party. It was not for playing. It was very sharp and dangerous. You have to be careful with sharp things. They can hurt you and make you bleed." Mom said. + +Lily felt sorry too. She did not know that the balloon was not a toy. She did not know that it was sharp and dangerous. She snuggled with her mom and licked her paw. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I did not know. I just wanted to play. I won't touch sharp things again. They are bad." Lily said. + +Mom smiled and kissed her head. + +"It's okay, Lily. I know you did not know. You are a good cat. I love you. Now let me clean your paw and put a bandage on it. Then you can play with your other toys. They are safe and fun." Mom said. + +Lily nodded and purred. She felt better. She learned a lesson. She would not play with sharp things again. She would play with her ball, her mouse, and her fish. They were her favorite toys. +Tommy likes to play in the garden. He digs with his shovel and finds many things. He finds rocks, and leaves, and bugs. He puts them in his bucket and shows them to his mom. + +One day, he finds a long, slimy thing. It moves and wriggles in his hand. He thinks it is a snake. He is scared and drops it. He runs to his mom and says, "Mom, mom, I found a snake!" + +His mom looks at the thing on the ground. She smiles and says, "That is not a snake, Tommy. That is a worm. Worms are good for the garden. They make the soil soft and rich. They are not scary. They are friendly." + +Tommy frowns. He does not like the worm. He thinks it is ugly and gross. He says, "I don't want a worm. I want a snake. Snakes are cool and shiny. Can we buy a snake, mom?" + +His mom shakes her head and says, "No, Tommy, we cannot buy a snake. Snakes are expensive and dangerous. They need a big cage and special food. They can bite and hurt you. You cannot play with a snake. You can play with a worm. Worms are cheap and safe. They need only dirt and water. They can tickle and make you laugh. You can make friends with a worm." + +Tommy thinks for a moment. He looks at the worm again. He sees that it is not so bad. It is soft and wiggly. It does not bite or hurt. It makes funny shapes and sounds. He picks up the worm and puts it in his bucket. He says, "Okay, mom, I will play with the worm. Maybe it is cool and shiny too. Maybe it is my friend." He smiles and hugs his mom. His mom hugs him back and says, "I'm proud of you, Tommy. You are a brave and kind boy." +Tim had a big test today at school. He wanted to do well and make his mom happy. He got up early and went to his closet. He looked for his best shirt and pants. He wanted to dress nice for the test. + +But when he opened the closet, he saw a big mess. His clothes were all over the floor. His brother Sam had played with them and did not put them back. Tim was angry and sad. He did not have time to find his best clothes. He had to dress fast with what he could find. + +He ran to the kitchen and saw his mom. She was making breakfast and smiling. She did not know about the mess in the closet. She said, "Good morning, Tim. Are you ready for your test?" + +Tim nodded, but he did not feel ready. He felt bad about his clothes. He thought his teacher and his friends would laugh at him. He wished his brother was not so mean. He wished his mom would see the mess and scold Sam. + +He ate his breakfast and took his backpack. He said goodbye to his mom and walked to the bus stop. He hoped his test would not be too hard. He hoped his day would get better. He hoped his brother would say sorry. He did not like harsh words or harsh feelings. He liked nice words and nice feelings. He liked to dress nice and do well. He liked to make his mom happy. +Tom and Lily wanted to play with the kite. It was a big kite with orange and blue colors. They liked how it flew in the sky. + +But they did not agree on how to fly it. Tom wanted to run with the kite and make it go fast. Lily wanted to stand still and make it go high. + +"Let me run with the kite!" Tom said. + +"No, let me stand with the kite!" Lily said. + +They pulled the string and made the kite shake. The kite did not like that. It wanted to fly smoothly and happily. + +The kite saw a big tree. It had green leaves and brown branches. The kite thought the tree looked nice. It wanted to say hello to the tree. + +The kite flew towards the tree. Tom and Lily saw the kite go to the tree. They were scared. They did not want the kite to get stuck in the tree. + +"Stop, kite, stop!" Tom and Lily shouted. + +But the kite did not stop. It reached the tree and wrapped itself around a branch. The string broke and the kite stayed in the tree. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They lost their kite. They wished they had agreed on how to fly it. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +They looked at the kite in the tree. It was still orange and blue, but it did not fly anymore. It was lonely and unhappy. + +Tom and Lily decided to make a new kite. They used paper and sticks and glue. They made it yellow and red. They agreed to share the kite and take turns. They hoped the new kite would like them and fly with them. +Lily was happy. She got an invitation to Ben's birthday party. She liked Ben. He was her friend. He liked to play with cars and blocks. She wanted to give him a nice present. + +She asked her mom to go to the toy store. Her mom said yes. They got in the car and drove to the store. Lily saw many toys. She saw dolls, books, puzzles, and games. She wanted to find something that Ben would like. + +She saw a big box with a picture of a train. It looked fun. It had many cars and tracks. She picked it up and showed it to her mom. Her mom looked at the price. She shook her head. She said it was too expensive. She said they had to find something cheaper. + +Lily was sad. She put the box back. She looked for something else. She saw a small bag with a picture of a car. It looked cheap. She picked it up and showed it to her mom. Her mom nodded. She said it was okay. She said they could buy it. + +Lily was not happy. She did not think Ben would like the car. It was small and plain. It did not have any lights or sounds. It did not look like the cars that Ben played with. She wanted to give him something better. + +She sneezed. She felt a tickle in her nose. She sneezed again. She felt a drip in her nose. She sneezed a third time. She felt a wet spot on her hand. She looked at her hand. She saw blood. She was scared. + +Her mom saw the blood. She was worried. She took a tissue and wiped Lily's nose. She said it was okay. She said Lily had a nosebleed. She said it would stop soon. She said they had to go home. + +Lily was unhappy. She did not get to buy a present for Ben. She did not get to go to his party. She had a nosebleed. She felt sick. She cried. Her mom hugged her. She said she was sorry. She said they would find another way to celebrate Ben's birthday. She said she loved her. Lily felt a little better. She said she loved her mom too. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play catch with a ball. One day, they find a new toy in the garage. It is a weapon that shoots water. Sam and Ben think it is fun. + +They take the weapon outside and start to shoot water at each other. They laugh and run around. But then, they see a regular cat on the fence. The cat is black and white and has green eyes. Sam and Ben want to shoot water at the cat. + +"Let's catch the cat!" Sam says. + +"No, that's mean!" Ben says. + +"Yes, it's fun!" Sam says. + +They argue and pull the weapon. The weapon breaks and water spills everywhere. The cat jumps off the fence and runs away. Sam and Ben are wet and sad. + +They go back to the garage and look for their ball. They can't find it. They see a hole in the wall. The cat has taken their ball. Sam and Ben are mad. + +They wish they had not played with the weapon. They wish they had played catch with their ball. They say sorry to each other and hug. They hope the cat will bring back their ball. They hope their mom will fix the weapon. They hope they can play catch again. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tent that was not there before. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go and open the tent," Sara said. + +"Maybe it is a surprise for us," Ben said. + +They ran to the tent and pulled the zipper. They looked inside and saw a lot of toys and books and pillows. They were very happy. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Sara said. + +"Look, there is a book about dinosaurs!" Ben said. + +They went inside the tent and started to play and read. They did not notice that the zipper closed behind them. + +After a while, they heard a voice outside the tent. It was their mom. + +"Where are you, Sara and Ben?" she called. + +They tried to answer, but the voice was very low. They tried to open the tent, but the zipper was stuck. They could not get out. + +They started to feel scared. They wondered who put the tent there and why. They wished they had not opened the tent. + +The tent was mysterious and not a good surprise. +Ben and Sam liked to play at the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. But they liked to watch the surf the most. The surf was the big waves that came and went. Sometimes they were white and loud, and sometimes they were blue and quiet. + +One day, Ben had an idea. He saw a big board that someone left on the sand. He said to Sam, "Let's take the board and ride the surf. It will be fun." Sam was not sure. He said, "But the surf is too big and strong. And it is getting dark. Maybe we should go home." Ben said, "No, it will be fine. Come on, don't be scared. I will go first and show you." + +Ben took the board and ran to the water. He put the board on the surf and jumped on it. He felt the surf push him and pull him. He liked it. He said, "Whee, this is great. Look at me, Sam. I am riding the surf." Sam watched from the shore. He saw Ben go up and down on the board. He thought it looked fun, too. He felt an urge to try it. He said, "Okay, I will come, too. Wait for me, Ben." + +Sam took another board and ran to the water. He put the board on the surf and jumped on it. He felt the surf push him and pull him. He liked it, too. He said, "Whee, this is great. Look at me, Ben. I am riding the surf, too." Ben saw Sam and smiled. He said, "See, I told you it was fun. Let's go together." + +But then, something bad happened. The surf got bigger and stronger. It was too big and strong for Ben and Sam. They could not control the boards. They could not see the shore. They could not hear each other. They were scared. They said, "Help, help. We want to go home." + +The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with stamps. They have many stamps with animals, flowers and cars. They put stamps on paper and make pictures. + +One day, Anna and Ben have a problem. They both want the same stamp. It is a lovely stamp with a big lion. They both reach for the stamp and pull it. The stamp tears in half. Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They do not want to play with each other anymore. + +They sit on opposite sides of the room and look at their papers. They see that their pictures are not complete. They need the other half of the stamp to make the lion. They feel sorry and miss each other. + +They look at each other and say sorry. They decide to share the stamp and unite the two halves. They put the stamp on a new paper and make a new picture. They smile and hug. They are happy and friends again. They have learned to share and unite. +Tom and Mia were very excited to go to the theater with their mom. They had never seen a play before and they wanted to know what it was like. Mom said they would see a story about a princess and a dragon, and that there would be music and costumes and lights. + +When they got to the theater, they saw a big sign that said "Snow Queen". Mom explained that it was the name of the play and that it was about a queen who lived in a very icy land. She said they had to be quiet and sit still when the play started, so they could hear and see everything. + +Tom and Mia nodded and followed mom to their seats. They looked around and saw many other people, some with kids like them. They also saw a big curtain that covered the stage. They wondered what was behind it. + +Soon, the lights went dim and the curtain opened. The play began. Tom and Mia saw a beautiful princess who had a golden crown and a blue dress. She was singing a song about her home and her friends. She looked happy and kind. + +But then, a scary dragon appeared. He had red scales and yellow eyes and a long tail. He roared and breathed fire. He said he wanted to take the princess to his icy castle and make her his bride. He grabbed her and flew away. + +Tom and Mia gasped. They felt sorry for the princess and scared of the dragon. They wanted to help her. They looked at mom and asked, "What will happen to her? Will someone save her?" + +Mom smiled and said, "You have to watch and see. The play is not over yet. Maybe there is a hero who will come and rescue her. Maybe the princess will find a way to escape. Maybe the dragon will change his mind. You never know what will happen in a story." + +Tom and Mia nodded and turned their attention back to the stage. They hoped mom was right. They hoped the princess would be okay. They hoped the play would have a happy ending. They waited and watched, eager to find out. +Tom was a little boy who liked to hop. He hopped all day long, from the kitchen to the living room, from the living room to the garden, from the garden to the bathroom. He hopped so much that his mom and dad sometimes told him to stop and rest. + +One night, Tom was very tired from hopping. He put on his pajamas and brushed his teeth. He said good night to his mom and dad and went to his bedroom. He hopped into his bed and pulled up his blanket. He was ready to sleep and dream of hopping. + +But then he felt something cold on his feet. He lifted his blanket and saw a frog. The frog had hopped into his bedroom and into his bed. Tom was surprised and scared. He screamed and hopped out of his bed. He ran to his mom and dad and told them about the frog. + +His mom and dad came to his bedroom and saw the frog.

He closed his eyes and dreamed of hopping with the frog. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a huge bike with a shiny helmet on it. Lily wanted to try the bike, but Max was scared. + +"Who do you think this bike belongs to?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a giant?" Max said. + +"Let's guess. I think it is a fireman's bike. He uses it to go to fires and save people. And he wears the helmet to protect his head," Lily said. + +"That sounds cool. But I think it is a astronaut's bike. He uses it to go to space and explore the stars. And he wears the helmet to breathe in space," Max said. + +They both liked their guesses, but they wanted to know the truth. They decided to wait and see who would come back for the bike and the helmet. + +Soon, they saw a man walking towards them. He was not a giant, but he was very tall and strong. He had a badge on his shirt that said "Police". + +"Hello, kids. Are you admiring my bike?" he asked. + +"Yes, sir. It is a huge bike. And your helmet is shiny. Is it a fireman's bike or a astronaut's bike?" Lily asked. + +The man smiled. "No, it is a police bike. I use it to patrol the streets and catch bad guys. And I wear the helmet to follow the rules and be safe," he said. + +"Wow, that is awesome. You are a hero," Max said. + +"Thank you. Do you want to try my bike and helmet? I can help you," the man offered. + +Lily and Max were very happy. They took turns riding the bike and wearing the helmet. They felt like heroes too. They thanked the man and waved goodbye.

They do not talk or look at each other. + +After a while, they feel lonely and bored. They miss their friend. They look at their towers and houses. They are not very fun or pretty. + +Mia has an idea. She picks up the blue block and walks to Leo. She smiles and says, "Sorry, Leo. Do you want to play together?" + +Leo smiles back and says, "Sorry, Mia. Yes, I do. Do you want to use the blue block?" + +Mia says, "Thank you, Leo. But I have another idea. Why don't we use the blue block to make a bridge between our towers and houses? Then we can have a big city!" + +Leo likes the idea. He says, "That sounds great, Mia. You are very creative!" + +They hug and laugh. They work together and use the blue block to make a bridge. They are happy and proud. They have a big city and a good friend. +Lily and Max were friends who liked to swim in the pool. They had fun splashing water and kicking their legs. They were playful and happy. + +One day, a new boy came to the pool. His name was Sam. He was big and loud. He wanted to swim in the pool too, but he did not want to share. He pushed Lily and Max away and took their toys. He said, "This is my pool. Go away!" + +Lily and Max were sad and angry. They did not like Sam. They wanted to fight him and get their toys back.

The monkey fell to the ground with a thud. He hurt his head and his tail. He said, "Ow, ow, ow! This vine is bad. It broke and made me fall. I don't like it." + +The bird flew to the monkey and said, "Are you okay, monkey, are you okay? You were not careful. You did not listen to me. The vine was thin and weak. The fruits were sour and bitter. You should have listened to me. I am your friend. I want to help you." + +The monkey felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, bird, I'm sorry. You were right. I was not careful. I did not listen to you. The vine was thin and weak. The fruits were sour and bitter. You are my friend. You want to help me. Thank you, thank you, thank you." + +The bird said, "It's okay, monkey, it's okay. I forgive you. You are my friend. I want to play with you. But next time, please listen to me. I know some things that you don't. I can see some things that you can't. We can help each other. We can share our food." + +The monkey said, "Yes, bird, yes. Next time, I will listen to you. You know some things that I don't. You can see some things that I can't. We can help each other. We can share our food." + +The monkey and the bird hugged and smiled. They were friends again. They went to look for other food. They found some bananas and some berries. They ate them and they were happy. They were yummy and good. They said, "Yum, yum, yum! This food is good. It makes us full and happy. We like it." + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big jar of jelly in the grass. It is red and shiny and smells sweet. + +"Wow, look at this jelly!" Lily says. "Can we eat it?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it belongs to someone. Maybe it is bad." + +Lily opens the jar and dips her finger in the jelly. She licks it and smiles. + +"It is good!" she says. "It is yummy and soft. We should keep it. We can share it with our friends." + +Ben is not sure. He looks around and sees a man running towards them. He has a hat and a bag and a big smile. + +"Hey, kids, have you seen my jelly?" the man says. "I made it for a party. It is very successful. Everyone loves it." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They did not know the jelly was his. They give him back the jar and say sorry. + +The man is kind. He thanks them and gives them each a spoonful of jelly. + +"Here, you can have some," he says. "It is enough for everyone. You can come to my party if you want. It is in the big tent over there." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They thank the man and follow him to the party. They meet his friends and have more jelly and cake and juice. They have a lot of fun. They are glad they did not keep the jelly. They are glad they made a new friend. +Ben and Lily were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked at the television, but it was off. They wanted to watch something fun. + +"Let's play pretend," Lily said. "We can be anything we want." + +"Okay," Ben said. "What do you want to be?" + +"I want to be a fairy," Lily said. "I can fly and use magic." + +"I want to be a superhero," Ben said. "I can fly and save people." + +They put on some fake wings and capes. They ran around the room, making noises and waving their arms. + +"Look at me, I'm flying!" Lily said.

They were laughing and having fun. They did not seem to mind the gloomy sky. They invited Lily to join them. + +Lily was not sure what to do. She wanted to play with her friends, but she also wanted to stay dry and clean. She thought that maybe she could play for a little while and then go home before it rained. + +She decided to give it a try. She ran to her friends and joined the circle. She caught the ball and threw it to the next person. She smiled and giggled. She felt happy and brave. + +But then, she heard a loud thunder. She looked up and saw a flash of lightning. She felt a drop of rain on her nose. She felt a panic in her chest. She wanted to run home and hide. + +She dropped the ball and ran away from the circle. She did not say goodbye to her friends. She did not care about the ball. She only cared about her dress and her bow. + +She ran as fast as she could, but the rain was faster. It poured down on her like a shower. It soaked her dress and her hair. It made her bow droop and fall. It made her cry and shiver. + +She reached her home and knocked on the door. Her mom opened it and saw her. She was shocked and worried. She hugged her and took her inside. She dried her and changed her clothes. She comforted her and gave her a hug. + +She asked her what happened. Lily told her everything. She told her how she wanted to play with her friends, but she was afraid of the rain. She told her how she ran away from the circle, but the rain caught her. She told her how she lost her bow and her happiness. + +Her mom listened and nodded. She told her that she understood her feelings. She told her that she was proud of her for trying to play with her friends, but she was sorry for her for losing her bow and her happiness. + +She told her that sometimes, life is like the sky. Sometimes, it is sunny and bright. Sometimes, it is gloomy and dark. Sometimes, it rains and storms. But she told her that the rain does not last forever. She told her that the sun always comes back. She told her that the rain can also be good. She told her that the rain can make the flowers grow, the birds sing, and the rainbow show. + +She told her that the next time she sees a gloomy sky, she should not be afraid or sad. She should be brave and happy. She should play with her friends and enjoy the moment. She should not worry about her dress or her bow. She should worry about her heart and her soul. + +She told her that the most important thing in life is not how you look, but how you feel. She told her that the most beautiful thing in life is not a bow, but a circle. She told her that a circle is a shape of love and friendship.

"I want more cheese on my spaghetti!" + +"No, Ben, it's mine!" Lily said. "You had more cheese last time!" + +They started to pull the cheese from each other, and they made a big mess.

Tim says. + +"That is not a good idea. You are making a mess. You are wasting tape. You are damaging the wall. You have to take them off." She says. + +"But mom, we like our wall. We worked hard. We used cheap tape. We are having fun." Sam says. + +"I'm sorry, but you have to take them off. You can play with your cars and trucks on the floor. You can use blocks or books to make a road and a city with them. But you can't load them on the wall. That is not how you treat the wall." She says. + +Tim and Sam are sad. They do not want to take them off. They like their wall. But they know they have to listen to their mom. They take the tape off. They take the cars and trucks off. They put them back in the box.

He is very surprised and laughs. He says, "Ben, you are a silly dog. You can't drive a car. You are not a human. You are a dog." He takes off the hat and coat from Ben and puts them back on. He says, "But you are a good dog and I love you. Let's go for a ride together." He gets in the car and starts the engine. Ben sticks his head out of the window and feels the wind in his fur.

They wanted to catch it and put it in a jar. + +"Look, a beetle!" Lily said. "Let's get it!" + +They ran after the beetle, but it was very fast and wild. It flew away from them and hid under a leaf. + +"Where did it go?" Sam asked. "I want to see it!" + +They lifted the leaf and found the beetle. But it was not happy. It was hurt. One of its wings was broken. + +"Oh no, poor beetle!" Lily said. "We made it sad and scared. We need to fix it!" + +They gently picked up the beetle and brought it to their mom. She had a small bandage and some glue. She helped them fix the beetle's wing. + +"Thank you, mom!" they said. "Can we keep the beetle as a pet?" + +Mom shook her head. "No, my dears. The beetle belongs in the garden, not in a jar. It needs to fly and be free. That's how it is happy. You should let it go and say sorry." + +They nodded and understood. They took the beetle back to the garden and opened their hands. The beetle flew away, but not before it buzzed a thank you. + +"Bye, beetle!" they said. "We are sorry we chased you. We hope you are well." + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be kind and gentle to all living things, and to respect their freedom.

They like to play in the park. Sometimes they go on the swings, sometimes they slide, sometimes they climb. But today, they want to try something new.

They cannot agree. + +Then they hear a loud creak. The stand shakes and sways. One of the steps breaks and falls. Anna and Ben scream and hold on tight. + +They are very scared.

He saw Lily and Sam and said, "What are you doing with that old toy? He is boring and ugly. You should play with something else." He grabbed Sam from Lily's hand and threw him across the room. + +Lily was very sad and angry. She shouted, "No, Tom! Give me back my soldier! He is not boring and ugly. He is brave and handsome. He is my friend!" She ran after Sam, but Tom was faster. He picked up Sam and said, "Too bad, Lily. I'm going to roll him under the bed. You'll never find him again." He laughed and rolled Sam under the bed. + +Lily cried and tried to reach Sam, but he was too far away. She could not see him or touch him. She felt miserable. She wished that Tom would be nice and give her back her soldier. She wondered if Sam was scared and lonely under the bed. She hoped that he would be okay. She missed him very much. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big rock near the trees. They wanted to climb on it and see what was behind it. + +"Come on, Lily, follow me!" Tom said. He ran to the rock and started to climb. + +"Wait for me, Tom!" Lily said. She was nervous. The rock was high and hard. She did not like to climb. + +Tom reached the top of the rock. He looked behind it and saw a big hole. He was curious. He wanted to see what was in the hole. + +"Tom, be careful!" Lily shouted. She saw Tom leaning over the hole. She was scared. + +But Tom did not listen. He leaned too far and fell into the hole. He screamed. + +Lily ran to the rock and looked into the hole. She could not see Tom. She could only hear him crying. + +"Tom, Tom, where are you?" Lily cried. She wanted to help Tom. But she did not know how. + +She was alone and sad. She wished she had not followed Tom.

They met the leader, who was a nice lady with a big hat and a backpack. She gave them each a sticker with their name and a badge with a picture of a leaf. She said: "Welcome to the nature club.

Can you find some seeds in the park?" + +Ben and Mia nodded. They were eager to find some seeds. They followed the leader and the other kids to a big field.

She also told them the names of the plants and how the seeds spread. + +Ben and Mia had a lot of fun. They found many seeds. They found acorns, pine cones, dandelions, sunflowers, berries and more. They also saw some animals that ate or carried seeds, like squirrels, birds, bees and ants. They learned a lot about nature. + +They were so busy that they did not notice a big, dark cloud in the sky. Suddenly, they heard a loud thunder. Then, they felt a drop of rain on their face. The leader looked at the sky and said: "Oh, no. It's going to rain. We have to go back to the shelter. Come on, kids, hurry up. Don't forget your bags." + +Ben and Mia grabbed their bags and ran after the leader. They hoped they would not get wet. They did not like rain. They thought rain was bad for nature. + +But they were wrong. As they ran, they saw something amazing. They saw a big, bright rainbow in the sky. It had many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. It was like a bridge of light over the park. It was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen. + +They stopped and stared at the rainbow. They smiled and said: "Wow! Look at that! Nature is so wonderful!" + +The leader smiled too. She said: "Yes, it is. And you know what? Rain is good for nature. Rain helps the seeds grow. Rain makes the plants and animals happy. Rain makes the rainbow. You are very lucky to see a rainbow. It is a special gift from nature." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They felt very lucky. They thanked the leader and the nature club. They thanked their mom for letting them go. They thanked nature for the seeds and the rainbow. They decided they liked rain after all. They thought rain was beautiful. +Lily was restless. She did not want to play with her toys or read her books. She wanted to go outside and see the birds and the flowers. But it was raining and Mommy said they had to stay inside. + +"I'm bored, Mommy!"

Do you want another one?" + +Lily looked at the plate and saw one more waffle. She wanted it, but she also wanted to share with Mommy. She thought for a moment and then said, "Yes, please, Mommy. But can we split it?" + +Mommy was proud of Lily for being generous. She said, "Of course, we can, honey. That's very nice of you." + +She cut the waffle in half and gave one piece to Lily and one to herself. They ate their waffles and talked about what they would do when the rain stopped. + +Lily was not restless anymore. She was happy and full and cozy. She hugged Mommy and said, "Thank you, Mommy. You make the best waffles ever!" + +Mommy hugged her back and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You make me the happiest Mommy ever!" +Lily was very excited. It was her birthday and she saw a big package on the table. It had a pink bow and a card with her name on it. She ran to the table and hugged the package. + +"Can I open it, Mommy?" she asked. + +"Yes, my sweetie, it's your present from Grandma and Grandpa.

She sees the juice come out and drip into a cup. She repeats with another lemon. She likes the sound and the smell. + +"Good job, Mia!" mom says. "Now, can you add some water and sugar to the juice?" + +"Yes, mom!" Mia says. She pours some water from a pitcher and some sugar from a jar. She stirs with a spoon. She tastes the lemonade.

Lily said, "OK, but be careful. The hill is steep and the road is bumpy." + +They pushed their pedals hard and climbed the hill. They reached the top and looked around. They saw a lot of people and animals in the park. They saw a dog, a bird, a man, a woman, a boy, and a girl. They also saw a distant lake that sparkled in the sun. + +Ben said, "Wow, this is fun. Let's shoot at them." He pointed his toy gun at the dog and pulled the trigger. He made a loud noise. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" + +Lily said, "No, Ben, don't do that. That's not nice. You might scare them or hurt them. They are not robbers. They are just playing like us." + +Ben said, "But it's just a toy. It doesn't do anything. It's fun to shoot." + +Lily said, "No, it's not. It's mean. How would you feel if someone shot at you? You would be sad and scared. You should be kind and friendly to others. That's what cowboys do. They help people, not shoot them." + +Ben thought for a moment. He looked at the dog, the bird, the man, the woman, the boy, and the girl. He saw that they were happy and peaceful. He felt sorry for shooting at them. He said, "You're right, Lily. I'm sorry. I won't shoot anymore. I'll be a good cowboy." + +Lily smiled and said, "That's good, Ben.

The little girl smiled too to see the happy spider. + +The two were the best of friends, and the spider was more thankful than ever for the thoughtful little girl. +Once, in outer space there was a small planet. On this little planet lived a family, who all loved each other very much. + +One day, the father of the family decided to take his children out in their spaceship. The children were very excited for the adventure and could not wait to explore the stars. + +But, when they arrived, the father showed them something unexpected. They could see a much bigger planet than the one they lived on. + +“Do not be restlessâ€, said the father. “You see, this much bigger planet was once like our small planet. But it became more and more full of people who were too greedy and selfish. Always wanting more and never thinking of othersâ€. + +The children learnt a valuable lesson that day. They understood that it is important to show kindness to others, and to think of the greater good. That way, everyone's good wishes can combine to make even the smallest planet better and brighter. +Once upon a time there was a brave little bunny. He liked to explore and discover new things in the forest. One sunny day, he was hopping around when he came to a strange number, painted in blue on a rock. + +The brave little bunny was curious and stopped to look at the mysterious number. "What could this be?" he said to himself. Suddenly, he heard a voice from behind. + +"That is a number," the voice said. The little bunny whirled around to see a tall rabbit. "You must answer the question correctly and then the number will open the secret hidden below the rock," continued the rabbit. + +The brave little bunny ran to the rock and sat down to think. He thought hard and after a few moments, he called out the answer. Suddenly, the rock split in two, revealing a large, sparkling gem. + +The brave little bunny was overjoyed! With the gem in hand, he thanked the tall rabbit and hopped off with a smile on his face. + +The little bunny had been brave and curious enough to discover the secret of the strange number. +Once, there was a tiny bug who was wandering around in a flower garden. The bug checked to see if the flowers had any food and he found a delicious berry! He was excited and he decided to eat it. + +Suddenly, a big bee appeared from behind the flower and said, "You don't want to eat that berry! It's poison!" + +The little bug was shocked and he immediately stopped what he was doing. The bee continued, "You must always be careful of what you eat. You should always check first if something looks warm or strange, then you must cover it before you decide to eat it." + +The bug thanked the bee and made sure to remember his advice. From then on, he was more careful and he always checked and covered things before he ate them. + +This story shows us that we should be careful with what we eat and never take things for granted. It's always important to double-check and cover things to make sure they are safe. +Johnny was an attractive three-year-old who loved to travel. Today was his first day venturing overseas, and he was carrying his passport. He couldn't wait to board the plane and learn what new adventures awaited him. + +As he waited in line to board the plane, he noticed a woman in a crisp uniform. She was very friendly and smiling, and Johnny realized she was there to serve the passengers. He was delighted and he went up to her to get her help. + +"Can you help me?" Johnny asked. + +The woman smiled and said, "Of course, how can I serve you?" + +"I am traveling and I need to show my passport," Johnny said. + +The woman looked at him affectionately and said, "Well, let's take a look at it." + +Johnny handed her his passport and she smiled and said, "Everything looks in order. Now you can board the plane and have a wonderful journey." + +Johnny thanked the woman and happily ran over to the line to board the plane. He was so excited, and he couldn't wait to see what exciting new places and experiences he would discover on this journey. He waved goodbye to the woman, who was still smiling as she served the other passengers. +Once upon a time there were two friends, Pat and Mike, who loved playing and exploring the outdoors. They loved spinning around, running in circles and making funny faces. One day, Pat and Mike decided to play tag in the woods. As they were playing, they noticed a tire stuck in the ground. Pat and Mike thought it looked fun and decided to climb up and become like a tire swing. Pat and Mike had a lot of fun! They spun around so fast that they felt like they were flying. + +But then something happened. As Pat and Mike kept swinging, the tire started to break apart. They stopped spinning and had to get down. Pat and Mike were sad because all their fun had to stop. + +The moral of the story is that it's OK to have fun, but you can also get too carried away. Sometimes it's important to take a break and be bright. Too much playtime can make you tire. +Once upon a time, there was a wild squirrel who lived deep in the forest. His name was Nut, and he had a very special gift- he could sign with his front feet. Every day, Nut would go to the edge of the woods, and he would perform a special dance for the people of the village. Everyone loved his show and always clapped and cheered when he finished! + +One day, Nut was feeling particularly brave, so he ventured even further away from the woods. He ended up in a meadow, where he found a big bowl of nuts. Nut was very happy, so he started to sign excitedly. But just then, there was a loud GROWL. A wild bear had spotted him and was running towards him! + +Nut knew he had to act fast, so he quickly grabbed all the nuts and ran back towards the forest. He was almost there when the bear got even closer. Terrified, Nut threw the nuts behind him and made a break for the safety of the trees. + +The bear was too fast for him, though. It caught up and caught him, and pulled him away from the woods. Nut never made it back to his beloved home, and the villagers never saw him again. +Once there was a boy who was very hungry. He kept walking until he saw a beautiful flower. He smiled and bent down to pluck it. Suddenly, his mom came running and yelled at him. The boy was surprised and stepped away scared. + +She sternly told him never to pluck flowers from other gardens. That it was very wrong. The boy nodded his head and promised not to do it again. + +The next day, the boy was hungry again. He found a garden with a lot of flowers. He started to pluck one. But, even before he picked it, his mom was suddenly there. She had followed him! She yelled at him and said that she had known he would do it. + +The boy was scolded, but also didn't feel too bad. This time, he was prepared for the scolding. He had done a sin, but he still felt happy to have plucked a flower. +John was a 3-year-old boy. He was playing with his favourite toy on the street. Suddenly, his toy made a loud noise and broke. John looked sad and he started crying. + +John’s mom saw this and quickly came outside. She said, “John, don’t worry. Let’s try to fix it.†+ +John was happy and quickly dried his tears. He looked up at his mom and said, “Mommy, can we fix it? It’s broken.†+ +His mom said, “Let’s try and find a way to gain it.†She took John’s hand and they walked down the street looking for a way to fix the toy. + +Suddenly, they saw a store that sold toys and John’s mom said, “John, let’s try here. Maybe we can find what we need.†+ +John’s mom found the parts they needed and fixed the toy. John was happy and said, “Mommy, you fixed it! It’s not broken anymore!†+ +His mom smiled and said, “Yes, John, I did. Sometimes when something is broken, we just have to try and find a way to gain it.†+Once there was a train that needed seats. It looked around, but no seats were to be found. It was a bit ignorant, and didn't know what to do. It was sad and wanted to be like all the other trains. + +One day the train saw a little girl. She was three years old and knew where the seats were kept. She showed the train the way to an enormous room full of seats. The train was so excited, it couldn't believe its eyes. + +The little girl was so helpful and the train was so grateful. It happily filled all the seats with people and waved goodbye to the little girl as it chugged away. + +The train was no longer ignorant, it had learned something new that day - How to find the perfect seat! +Once upon a time, there was a dog and a cat who were best friends. Every day, they went on walks around the neighborhood together and every morning, they would stop at the bus station. Every day the dog and the cat would lean against the bus station bench and watch the morning people. + +One day, the two were so comfortable leaning against the bench that they fell asleep. When they awoke, they heard a huge loud noise and ran away, scared. But when they looked back, they saw that the bus had stopped at the station. + +The dog and the cat were so relieved that they had woken up in time. From then on, they always made sure to be alert and awake when they stopped at the station. + +The moral of the story is: never be too comfortable because you never know when something important might happen. +Once upon a time, there was a mill that sat deep in the forest.Inside this mill was a special creature who rested there every day. Every morning, he would stretch and enjoy the sun's warm rays. He was amazed by the way the shining light illuminated the entire room. + +One day he noticed a little girl walking nearby. She waved at the mill and the creature waved back. The girl happily said, "I'm going to go explore the forest. Do you want to come with me?" The creature thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I think I will!" + +So together they walked through the forest, taking in all the amazing sights. Eventually they came upon a giant tree. On its branches was a swing overlooking the whole forest. The girl said, "Let's take a rest here." So the creature nestled in the swing and they both took a nap. + +After a while, the creature woke to find the little girl crying. She said, "I'm so sad. I was supposed to be home a long time ago. Now I'm in trouble." The creature thought for a bit and said, "Let's go home together. I'm sure your parents will understand if we both explain the situation." + +And so the moral of this story is to always think about your actions. Making something amazing can be fun, but you always need to think ahead to the consequences of your actions. +Once upon a time, there was a curious little monkey called Joey. He was always very adventurous and loved to explore the jungle. + +One day, Joey was running through the jungle, when he noticed something flashing in the bushes. He went closer to take a look and saw a funny-looking box with a small, red button. + +Joey wanted to touch the button, but he was a little bit scared. Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him. + +"Don't be frightened, little monkey," said the voice. + +Joey turned around and saw a friendly-looking rabbit. The rabbit said he was called Mr. Jones and knew all about the box. + +"That box is a laser," he said. "It's very powerful, and if you don't manage it correctly, you could get hurt." + +Joey was even more frightened now. He stayed very still and listened to Mr. Jones's advice. Mr. Jones showed Joey how to use the laser and said that as long as he managed it carefully, he would be safe. + +Joey thanked him for the help and did as he said. He was very relieved when he finished, and he thanked Mr. Jones again. + +From that day on, Joey was always very careful with the laser and managed it perfectly. He was no longer frightened of it. +Once upon a time, there were two twin sisters. They were very happy to have each other and spent all of their time playing and laughing together. +One day, the twins wanted to get something special. They ran to their parents to ask for something. The twins said, “Can we please get something nice?†+ +Their parents smiled and said, “Yes. You should look for a cheap toy. You will have to pick one together, as twins.†+ +So, the twins ran off to find a cheap toy. They soon came across a toy that they both liked. It was a big, colorful ball. “Let’s get this,†said one of the twins. + +The other twin agreed and said, “Yes, this one is perfect!†+ +Their parents were very happy when they saw what their twins had found. + +The End. +One day, a little boy was playing in his room. He went to his drawer to find his favourite toy. But as he opened the drawer, he saw something very strange. His toy was gone. He was so confused. He told his mom but she ignored him. + +The little boy was very sad. He kept asking his mom about his toy but she didn't listen. He started to cry and he got very angry. He kept yelling and asking his mom where his toy was. But she just kept ignoring him. + +The boy was so sad and frustrated. He didn't understand why his mom didn't want to help him. He knew his toy was gone and he wanted to find it. He looked everywhere but it was no use. His toy was gone and his mom didn't care. + +The boy was very confused and sad. He felt like he was being ignored and there was nothing he could do about it. He was very upset and he started to cry. In the end, the little boy never found his favourite toy. +Mary was very wealthy. Everywhere she went, people noticed and wanted to be her friend. But Mary kept her distance from them. + +One day Mary went to the beach with her mother. The water and sand felt lovely and smooth beneath her feet. As Mary spread out her blanket, a child approached her. + +Child: “Hey, can I stay and play with you?†+ +Mary was startled and didn't know what to say. She had never made friends before and she was nervous. Finally, she said yes. + +The two of them spent the day playing together in the sand. Mary had nothing to worry about because her stay was getting more and more comfortable. + +But then, something unexpected happened. Mary’s mother called out to her to get home, and she spread the blanket over her arm. The little girl was sad and sat on the ground, looking at the ground. + +The shame of the wealthy spread throughout the beach, and everyone looked at Mary differently. That was the last time the two of them ever played together. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Lisa who lived in the forest. She had many animals which owned as pets. One day, she found a very unusual alligator near her house. Lisa thought it was funny so she asked her mom, "Can I make it my pet?". + +Her mom replied, "No, sweetheart. Alligators can be dangerous animal and we must not own them as pets." So Lisa sadly agreed. + +The next day, Lisa and her mom were walking in the forest when suddenly they heard a loud noise. It was a big alligator! Lisa was scared but then she remembered what her mother had said about owning alligators. + +So she shouted at the alligator, "Go away! I don't own you and I don't want to own you!" Surprisingly, the alligator listened to Lisa and it moved away. + +Moral of the story: It is not wise to own animals which can be dangerous. We should always respect the rights of all animals. +Once upon a time there was a big team. The team was made up of five children – three girls and two boys. + +One day, they decided to explore the forest together. The boys wanted to see if they could find lots of fun things. + +“Let’s come,†said one of the boys. + +“Yes, let’s,†replied the girls. + +So they all grabbed hands and started walking through the forest.

But the bear was too fast. + +Suddenly, one of the boys had an idea. He shouted to the bear, “Come on team! Let’s all play together!†+ +The bear stopped and thought about it for a moment. Then he smiled and said, “Ok, let’s play!†+ +So the big team and the bear played together all day. They explored the forest together, played tag together and even had a picnic together. They laughed and had so much fun. + +When it got dark, the team said goodbye to the bear and went home.

Let me see it.†+ +Jane’s mom saw that it was the same broken fork she could not find. She smiled and said, “I think this fork can still be useful.†Jane was happy and she helped her mom set the dinner table with her broken fork.

The boy and his sister went outside, and saw a home for the puppy. The puppy was so happy to have a home, and he was no longer wild. + +After that, the boy said to his sister, "It's important to be nice to animals and help them when we can.

She wanted it to be black and tall, so she drew a tall black cupboard. + +When she finished, she showed it to her parents and said "Look, I've designed my own cupboard!" Her parents were surprised again and said "Wow, what a great job you've done, Emma". Emma was very proud and happy with her work. +The little boy was very excited. He was going on a drive with his mom. He asked her, "Where we goin'?" His mom smiled and said, "To get a bowl!" + +They drove to the store. The boy got out of the car and ran inside.

She said to Tom, "I want you to tie this coin in a corner of your pocket, so you don't lose it." Tom was happy to have the coin, but he was very weak and he didn't want to tie it. + +So, as Tom reached to tie the coin, an old man came. He said to Tom, "My friend, if you try and tie the coin, then you will be strong and it will stay safe, so that you don't lose it." + +Tom listened to the old man and he tied the coin tightly in his pocket. + +Tom's mommy saw him and said, "What a clever boy!

He said, "Let's try one more inch up, and we will go slow." + +Mom smiled. "That's a great idea, Sammy. Let's do it." + +So together, mom and Sammy fixed the picture, hanging it one inch higher, and being careful to go slow. When they finished, the picture was just right.
