"You are right Tom, it's better to start with a spark. It's always best to get help from people who have an impressive knowledge!" + +The moral of this story is that it's important to get help from people who know what they are doing.

Let's go sit under it." So they both walked over and sat down. + +Max could feel the cool breeze and he looked up to see the leaves swaying in the wind. He smiled and said, "It's so lively!" + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, it's a wonderful place to sit and just show the world we can enjoy nature too."

Together they ventured deep into the woods. + +Suddenly, they spotted a big secret rock. The bunny asked, "What do you think it is?" But the squirrel was quiet. He had a plan and didn't want to give away the secret. + +The bunny was confused but went on to explore the rock, while the squirrel watched with a sly smile. + +The bunny hopped around the rock, but it was so tough he couldn't break it open. The squirrel knew he had to help, so he scurried to the bunny's side. He showed his friend how to push the secret rock and together they watched as the ground opened up to reveal a hidden cave. + +The bunny gasped and asked, "What is it?" + +The squirrel laughed and said, "It's a secret, silly. Let's go explore!" And so they did! +One day, Jack and his mom were outside in their garden. Jack was very enthusiastic about the blue sky and spotted a fly. He wanted to catch the fly and asked his mom for help. + +Jack's mom smiled and told him, "You need to be very careful with the fly. When it flies away, say 'bye bye, fly!'." + +Jack nodded and said, "I will try and catch it for sure!" He cautiously took a step forward and bumped into the fly. The fly flew away in surprise. + +Jack waved goodbye to it and said, "Bye bye, fly!" His mom was very proud of him and they both laughed. Jack needed to practise more if he wanted to catch the fly. +Once upon a time there lived a mighty bee. He lived in a giant tree in the middle of a meadow and all of the other bees in the meadow looked up to him. One spring day, the bee woke up feeling extra mighty. He flew out of the tree and set out on an adventure. + +The bee flew to a nearby lake and rested on a rock. Then he heard something rustling in the grass nearby.

The bee thanked the frog for his advice and then flew home to the giant tree. From then on, the bee was always reminded of his mighty friend each time Fall came around. +John and his dad were in their house on a rainy day. They were looking for something to do. +Dad suggested: "Let's play hide and seek!" +John was excited and asked: "How do we play?" +Dad explained that one person should hide and the other person should find them. +John said "Okay!" and ran to find a spot to hide. +He found a seat under his bed. He hopped in and waited. + +But it was very dark and a little bit scary. John was getting worried. He heard some noises and started to get even more scared... + +Then, he heard his Dad calling for him. Dad said he had been searching for him for a long time. +John ran out from his hiding spot, relieved. + +Dad smiled but looked at John seriously. He said "When I call for you, you must always answer.

With my laser power, I hope to make the world a better place.†+ +The audience clapped even harder. Everyone was inspired by Peter's dependability and courage. + +The people cheered and cheered, and the theatre echoed with their praise and admiration. + +And ever since that day, Peter has used his laser power for good, and the people of the town always applaud. +Once upon a time, there was a mom and dad and their little son, Tom. Tom was impatience to get his first car. + +Tom’s mom said, “Honey, don’t worry. You’ll get your car someday.†+ +Tom asked, “When, when, when???†+ +Tom’s dad smiled and said, “Soon, Tom. If you work hard, you can get your car sooner than later.†+ +Tom was so excited. He started working hard every day to get enough money for his car. Mom and Dad watched with pride and encouraged the little boy to keep going. Tom kept going, and eventually earned enough money to buy his own car. + +The moral of the story is that with hard work, you can get what you want. Mom and Dad taught Tom that persistence and dedication can bring success. They encouraged him throughout his journey and he got what he wanted in the end. +Mummy and Daddy were outside lighting the barbeque. It was a hot day and they were going to grill some burgers. Jack, the 3 year old, was playing in the garden. + +Mummy said to Jack, "you're being naughty. Don't go too close to the fire or you'll burn your foot." + +Jack said, "okay Mummy, I understand."

The little apple was so excited, she hugged the pumpkin! +The little apple told the pumpkin that it didn't matter how tasty he was, because being kind was the best taste of all. +So the pumpkin and all his friends joined together and had the most delicious feast ever. +This just goes to show that being kind to others is more important than being the tastiest. +Once upon a time there lived a little girl called Amy. Amy was very restless, she was always fidgeting and never wanted to sit still. + +One day, Amy’s mother said to her “Amy, it’s time to clean your teeth. Please get your brush so you can brush your teeth.†+ +Amy shouted back “No, I won’t. I don’t want to!†+ +Her mother replied “If you brush your teeth, I will allow you to have a lollipop afterwards.†+ +Amy was pleased, so she picked up her brush and began brushing her teeth. She scrubbed them clean and when she was finished, her mother gave her a big, juicy lollipop. + +The moral of the story is that being naughty doesn’t have to be bad.

To get to the other tide!" + +The little girl laughed and said, "That was a very funny joke!" + +The sailor smiled and said, "I'm glad you liked it. Be polite and remember to tell other people your joke too." + +The little girl smiled and said, "Ok, I will." + +The sailor waved goodbye and went on his way.

But it was too late; the storm blew Lola's film everywhere! All of the film was lost in the icy storm. + +Lola was very sad. All of her hard work was gone, and she started to cry. Her mum and dad gave her a big hug and explained that it was an unlucky thing to happen.

After a few hours, the kite was ready and they were all set to try it out. + +They both flew their kites and George couldn't believe it, his kite was actually higher than the crazy kite they had seen earlier. + +George and his dad cheered as the kite flew high in the sky.

"This one is fake. But you can keep it if you remember it's not real!" + +Janet hugged the pony tight, happy she could keep it. She were excited to play with her fake pony. + +From that day on, whenever she saw a real pony, Janet remembered to be careful and not get too close in case it was fake. +Billy was in a hurry.

He never shared his dance with anyone else. + +One day, a kind body asked the selfish body to have a dance with him. The selfish body refused. He said the dance was only for him. + +The kind body was sad, but he asked the selfish body again. Again, the selfish body said no! He said he would only dance by himself. + +The kind body started to cry. He told the selfish body that it was wrong to be so selfish with his dance. + +But the selfish body did not care. He just kept dancing by himself. And that's how it always stayed. The selfish body was never willing to share his dance with anyone else. And the kind body was very sad. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Jerry who loved to play. One day, he had an idea. He asked his mom if he could have a race. + +“Sure,†said his mom. + +Jerry was very excited! He got his stuffed bear and ran around the house three times. When he was done, he asked his mom, “Did I win?†+ +“Yes, you won!†his mom replied. + +Jerry smiled and thanked his mom. Then, he looked around and found his little sister.

He kept a watch on the town and watched out for trouble. One day, the thin guard was walking around the town when he noticed something that did not fit. It was a box and it was too big for the street. The thin guard thought that it was strange, so he decided to have a look inside. + +He opened the box and was surprised to find a small puppy. The puppy was so small that it fit into the box. The thin guard was very happy. He could tell that the puppy was lonely and needed a home. He picked up the puppy and hugged it. + +The thin guard decided that the puppy belonged with him. He took it home and the puppy was happy to have a nice new home. The thin guard and the puppy were best friends and the puppy was very thank for the thin guard for finding it and helping it find a home.

One day, she was walking through a big green forest when she came across a big pile of leaves. + +The little girl decided to organize the leaves into a pile. She picked up the leaves one at a time and placed them in rows. As she was organizing, a rabbit nearby spoke up. + +The rabbit said, "Why would you want to organize something that is perfectly happy just the way it is? There is beauty in chaos and a balance in nature that should be appreciated, not organized." + +The little girl thought about what the rabbit said, and realized that maybe it was better to appreciate nature, rather than organizing it all the time. From that day forward, she allowed nature to be, only occasionally picking up the leaves, enjoying their luscious scent and sound of rustling the leaves made. + +The moral of the story is that sometimes respecting and appreciating nature is better than trying to organize it all the time. +Jack and his mommy were walking in the park. Everything was so lovely and harmless. Jack saw a pick along the way and happily grabbed it. + +Mommy said to him: "No, Jack! You shouldn't pick up strange things!" But Jack thought picking the pick was more fun. He proudly looked at his mom and said: "Mommy, I can solve this!" + +Mommy nodded her head and said: "Okay, Jack. Show me what you can do." + +Jack started to fiddle around with the pick. He pulled and tugged, but it wouldn't move. Mommy watched with a smile, but the smile slowly faded away as the seconds passed and nothing happened. + +"Maybe it's stuck, Jack," she said gently. + +But Jack was stubborn and wanted to solve the problem. He kept tugging and pulling until the pick came loose. + +But when it did, a loud alarm sounded and the lights in the park began to flash and flicker. Everywhere people started to run. + +Mommy was scared and quickly rushed Jack back home. Later she found out that the pick had been attached to something crucial in the park and removing it caused immense destruction. + +Jack was sad and cried as he realised it was all his fault.

Mommy said, "Yes, just be extra careful." + +So Beth waded into the water. She laughed as the waves crashed against her. Then, she asked if she could go out farther. + +Mommy said, "No, it's too deep and the tide is too strong. We must go in now." So Beth and her mommy left the beach, but Beth had lots of fun! +Once upon a time, there was a kind hearted little girl called Amy.

Every day she would try new games and sometimes she just wanted to make new friends. + +One day, Jane was standing on the beach, ready to try something new. She looked out over the ocean and waved her hand. She was trying to make a new friend. + +Just then, a big wave came up to the beach and it seemed to be looking right at Jane. She smiled and waved back at the wave. It looked so tidy, with its bright blue color and long white foam. + +The wave barreled toward Jane and she couldn't believe it! She was so excited and waved even harder at the wave. + +Sure enough, the wave had brought a surprise! It was a little fish with shiny scales and friendly eyes. Jane was so happy the wave had brought her a friend. Together they played and had lots of fun. +Once upon a time there lived a wise old man. He was very strong and powerful. Every day he sat in his armchair, deep in thought. He would think and think deep into the night. + +One day, the old man decided that he needed to cut some wood. He went outside and started to chop the wood with his axe. It made a loud sound as he worked. + +After he finished, he dragged the big pile of logs back to his armchair.

Everyone was so worried and wondered why the animals had gone. + +One small boy had a clever idea. He suggested they all go and look inside the barn. When they got there, they saw a tiny door in the side of the barn, which was open. As they peered inside, they saw the animals had made a tunnel with their noses, to break out and explore! + +The moral of the story is that we never know what's happening behind closed doors. Just because something looks the same, it doesn't mean nothing has changed. It's important to look closer and check if something seems different. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Ellie. Ellie loved to play in the park with her friends. One day, she was in the park with her best friend Ben. Ben had a small bag with him filled with a white powder. When Ellie saw the powder, she asked Ben what it was. Ben said, "It's a special powder that makes me happy and playful." Ellie was jealous that she didn't have any powder, so she asked Ben if she could have some. Ben said, "No, this powder is only for me." + +Ellie felt upset, but Ben knew that she was sad and he felt bad. He believed that sharing was important and that it was wrong to keep things all to himself. He decided to give Ellie some of the powder. When Ellie opened the bag and saw the powder, her face lit up with excitement. + +The moral of the story is that it's always best to leave something behind that you can share with others. Sharing can make everyone happy. When we see someone who doesn't have something that we have, it's important to remember that it's better to share than to be jealous. +Once upon a time, a mama bear and her little cub went for a stroll in the forest. They saw a large ash tree, and the little cub looked up at it and said, "What's an ash tree, mama?" The mama bear explained that an ash tree was tall and leafy. She said, "The ash from the tree can be used to make something special." + +The little cub asked what it was, and mama bear said, "We can give the ash to the witch.

Within no time, she had made a special soup. + +The mama bear thanked the witch and said, "Our little cub is very spoiled, so can you make an extra-special gift for him?" The witch smiled and said, "Yes, of course!" She used the remainder of the ash to make a special toy for the little cub. When the cub saw it, his eyes lit up with delight. + +The mama bear gave the witch a big hug +Once upon a time there was a very tired girl named Alison.

Sam saw a bird flying in the sky - it was so impressive! He asked his mom if he could fly too. His mom said, "No, that's not possible." Sam started to complain, which made his mom frown.

His mom was so impressed that she gave Sam a big hug. +Once upon a time there were two children, Rita and Jack, who lived in the same town.

"It's not fair!" she said. "There is a law that says everyone should be fair with each other." + +But Jack just laughed. "No one can make me do anything," he said. + +Later that night, when everyone was sleeping, Rita came into Jack's room and took one of his favourite toys. She left a note saying, "Maybe if you were not so selfish, I wouldn't have to do this". + +The next morning, Jack was very surprised to find his toy gone. He looked around the house and found the note. He realised that he had been selfish and decided to change.

Your room looks so pretty!" her mom said. + +Lily smiled and said, "I want to name my room 'Rainbow Land' because it has so many colors." Her mom thought it was a great idea and said, "That's a perfect name for your room!" + +Later that day, Lily's little brother came in and messed up all her decorations. Lily got angry and said, "Why did you do that? I worked so hard to decorate my room!" Her brother apologized and promised to be more careful in the future. + +From then on, Lily made sure to keep her room clean and decorated just the way she liked it. And whenever anyone asked, she proudly told them her room's name was Rainbow Land. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. He loved to play games and explore new places. One day, he went to a big park with his mom and dad. There, he saw a big maze made of hedges. + +"Wow, that looks fun!" Timmy said, pointing to the maze. + +"I'm not sure if we should go in there," his mom replied. "It might be too hard to find our way out." + +But Timmy was very excited and begged his parents to let him try. So, they agreed and went inside the maze. It was tricky to find the way out, but Timmy was honest and didn't cheat. He followed the paths and finally found the exit. + +"I did it!" Timmy exclaimed, feeling proud of himself. + +His parents were happy too and praised him for his bravery. They all went home, tired but happy from their adventure in the maze. +Once upon a time, there was a little bird named Tweet. Tweet loved to fly and sing all day long. One day, Tweet saw a big fire in the forest. Tweet got confused and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, Tweet remembered what his mom had told him before. She said, "If you see a fire, shout for help." + +So, Tweet shouted as loud as he could, "Help! Help! Fire! Fire!" Soon, other animals came to help put out the fire. They worked together and were able to stop the fire from spreading. Tweet felt proud and happy that he was able to help. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to listen to your parents and to always be prepared to help others. Sometimes, even the smallest creature can make a big difference. And remember, if you see a fire, shout for help! +Lily liked to help her mom with the mail. Every day, she would walk with her mom to the big blue box and put the letters inside. Mom said the letters would go to other people who lived far away. Lily wondered what they would say when they got the letters. + +One day, Lily saw a black cat sitting on top of the big blue box. The cat looked at Lily with yellow eyes and made a loud meow. Lily was scared of the cat. She hid behind her mom and said, "Mom, I don't like the cat. It is black and mean." + +Mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lily. The cat is not mean. It is just hungry. Maybe it wants some milk. Do you want to give it some milk?" + +Lily nodded. She liked milk. She thought maybe the cat would like it too. Mom took a small bottle of milk from her bag and poured some into a cup. She gave the cup to Lily and said, "Here, Lily. You can hold the cup and give it to the cat. Be gentle and careful." + +Lily took the cup and walked slowly to the big blue box. The cat was still sitting there, watching her. Lily said, "Hello, cat. I have some milk for you. Do you want some?" She held out the cup to the cat. + +The cat sniffed the milk and licked its lips. It jumped down from the box and rubbed its head against Lily's leg. It made a soft purr and drank the milk. Lily smiled and petted the cat. She said, "You are not mean, cat. You are nice and soft. I like you." + +Mom watched and said, "See, Lily? The cat is your friend now. You did a good job. Now, let's finish the mail and go home." + +Lily nodded and put the letters in the box. She said goodbye to the cat and followed her mom. She felt happy and proud. She had helped with the mail and made a new friend. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to go out with Mom and Dad. One day, they went to a restaurant. It was a big place with many people and many foods. + +Tom and Lily sat on chairs and looked at the menu. They saw pictures of pizza, pasta, salad, and ice cream. They wanted to try everything. They told Mom and Dad what they liked. + +"I want pizza with cheese and ham," Tom said. + +"I want pasta with sauce and cheese," Lily said. + +"Okay, we will order that for you," Mom said. + +But then, Tom felt something bad in his tummy. He felt sick and hurt. He did not want to eat anything. He wanted to go home. + +"Mom, I suffer. My tummy suffers. I want to go home," Tom said. + +Mom looked at Tom and saw that he was pale and weak. She touched his forehead and felt that he was hot. + +"Oh, Tom, you have a fever. You are sick. We need to go home and give you medicine," Mom said. + +She told Dad and Lily that they had to leave. Dad paid the bill and they got in the car. Lily was sad. She wanted to eat pasta and ice cream. But she also loved Tom and wanted him to feel better. + +"Don't worry, Tom. You will be okay soon. I will share my pasta and ice cream with you when you are well," Lily said. + +Tom smiled a little and hugged Lily. He was glad that he had a sister who cared for him. Mom and Dad also hugged them and drove them home. They hoped that Tom would get well soon and that they could go to the restaurant another day. +Ben and Lily are playing with their toy soldiers. They like to make them march and fight. They have different colors of soldiers. Ben has red and blue ones, and Lily has green and yellow ones. + +"Let's make them march in order," Ben says. He puts his red soldiers in front and his blue ones behind. He makes them walk in a line. "One, two, one, two," he counts. + +Lily does the same with her green and yellow soldiers. She puts them next to Ben's line. "One, two, one, two," she counts too. + +But then, Lily sees something different. She sees a purple soldier on the floor. She picks it up and looks at it. It has a funny hat and a big smile. She likes it. + +"Look, Ben, I found a purple soldier," she says. She puts it in her line, between the green and yellow ones. + +"No, Lily, you can't do that," Ben says. He does not like the purple soldier. It does not match his order. "The purple soldier is different. It does not belong here. Give it to me." + +Lily does not want to give it to him. She thinks the purple soldier is special. She holds it tight. "No, Ben, I like the purple soldier. It is mine. You have enough soldiers. Leave it alone." + +Ben and Lily start to argue. They pull the purple soldier from each other. They shout and cry. They forget about their other soldiers. They make a mess. + +Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the purple soldier and the other soldiers on the floor. She sees Ben and Lily angry and sad. + +"What is going on here?" she asks. She takes the purple soldier from them and holds it up. "Who does this belong to?" + +Ben and Lily both say, "Me!" + +Mom shakes her head. She does not like their fight. She has an idea. + +"How about we share the purple soldier?" she says. "You can take turns playing with it. And you can also play with each other's soldiers. They are all nice and fun. It does not matter what color they are. They can all march and fight together." + +Ben and Lily think about it. They look at the purple soldier and the other soldiers. They look at each other. They nod. + +"Okay, mom, we can share," they say. They hug and say sorry. They pick up their soldiers and make them march and fight again. They mix the colors and make new orders. They have fun. + +Mom smiles and watches them. She is happy. She thinks the purple soldier is different too. But she thinks different is good. +Lily and Sam were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and find shells. Lily found a big shell that was shiny and pretty. She showed it to Sam and said, "Look, Sam, I found a big shell!" + +Sam liked the shell too. He wanted to have it for himself. He said, "Give me the shell, Lily. It is mine!" + +Lily said, "No, Sam, I found it first. It is mine!" + +They started to pull the shell from each other. They were very loud and angry. They did not see the big wave coming. + +The wave was very big and strong. It washed over them and took the shell away. Lily and Sam were wet and sad. They lost the shell and their fun. + +They looked at each other and said, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Sam. We were not nice to each other. We should have shared the shell." + +They hugged and said, "We are friends. We do not need the shell. We have each other." + +They learned that sharing is better than fighting. They played on the beach again and had more fun. They did not leave each other. +Lily liked to imagine that she was a princess. She had a pink dress, a shiny crown, and a big castle. She played with her dolls and pretended they were her friends. She was happy. + +But her brother Tom did not like her game. He wanted to play with cars and robots. He said princesses were silly and boring. He took her crown and threw it on the floor. He made loud noises and scared her dolls. He was mean. + +"Stop it, Tom!" Lily cried. "You are ruining my game. Give me back my crown!" + +"No, I won't!" Tom said. "You can't be a princess. You are just a baby. You can't do anything." + +"Yes, I can!" Lily said. "I can do many things. I can read and write and draw and sing. I can be anything I want. I can be a princess, or a doctor, or a teacher, or a successful writer. You can't tell me what to do." + +Tom was angry. He did not like that Lily was smart and brave. He wanted to make her feel bad. He grabbed her dress and ripped it. He laughed and said, "Now you are not a princess. You are just a raggedy girl. You can't be successful. You can't be anything." + +Lily was very sad. She felt like crying. She looked at her dress and her crown and her dolls. They were all broken and dirty. She felt like giving up. But then she remembered something. She remembered that she had a big imagination. She remembered that she could make up stories and pictures and songs. She remembered that she had a lot of dreams. She remembered that she had a lot of yet. + +She smiled and said, "You are wrong, Tom. You can't break my imagination. You can't stop my dreams. You can't take away my yet. I can be a princess, or a doctor, or a teacher, or a successful writer. I can be anything I want. And I will. Just watch me." + +She picked up her crown and put it on her head. She picked up her dress and tied it with a ribbon. She picked up her dolls and hugged them. She said, "Come on, friends. Let's go to our castle. We have a lot of adventures to do." + +She walked away from Tom and left him alone. He was surprised and confused. He did not understand how Lily could be so happy and confident. He did not understand how she could imagine and dream and yet. He felt a little sorry and a little curious. He wondered if he could play with her. He wondered if he could imagine and dream and yet too. He wondered if he could be anything he wanted. He wondered if he could be successful. He wondered if he could be happy. +Sam and Tom were brothers. They liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretended to drive them on the floor and make noises. + +One day, they found a big pole in the garage. It was long and brown and hard. They thought it would be fun to use it as a bridge for their cars. They put one end on a box and the other end on a chair. They drove their cars over the pole, one by one. + +"Look, Sam, I can drive my red car very fast on the pole!" Tom said. + +"Me too, me too, I can drive my blue car faster than you!" Sam said. + +They drove their cars faster and faster, until they bumped into each other. The cars fell off the pole and the pole fell off the box and the chair. The pole hit the floor with a loud bang. It made a big dent in the floor. + +"Oh no, oh no, we broke the floor!" Sam said. + +"Dad will be very angry with us!" Tom said. + +They felt miserable. They did not know what to do. They hid their cars under the bed and the pole behind the door. They hoped Dad would not see them. + +But Dad did see them. He came into the garage and saw the dent in the floor and the pole behind the door. He was not happy. He called Sam and Tom and asked them what happened. + +Sam and Tom were scared. They did not want to lie, but they did not want to get in trouble. They looked at each other and then at Dad. + +"We are sorry, Dad, we were playing with our cars and the pole and we made a mistake," Sam said. + +"We did not mean to break the floor, Dad, we were just having fun," Tom said. + +Dad looked at them and sighed. He was not angry anymore, but he was disappointed. + +"I know you were playing, boys, but you have to be careful with things that are not yours. The pole is not a toy, it is a tool. The floor is not a road, it is part of the house. You have to respect them and not damage them," Dad said. + +He made them help him fix the floor and put the pole back where it belonged. He also took away their cars for a week. He said they had to learn their lesson. + +Sam and Tom felt sorry. They said they were sorry to Dad and hugged him. They promised to be more careful next time. They learned their lesson. +Ruby was a little mouse who lived in a big cave. She liked to chew on shiny gems that she found in the rocks. She had many gems in her nest, but she had no friends to share them with. She felt lonely and sad. + +One day, she heard a noise outside her nest. She peeked out and saw a big bird with bright feathers. The bird saw her and said, "Hello, little mouse. What are you doing in this cave?" + +Ruby was scared of the bird, but she also wanted to talk to someone. She said, "I live here. I chew on gems. They are pretty and tasty." + +The bird was curious. He said, "Can I see your gems? I like shiny things too." + +Ruby nodded and invited the bird into her nest. She showed him her gems and let him touch them. The bird was amazed. He said, "You have so many gems. They are very beautiful. Can I have one?" + +Ruby was generous. She said, "Yes, you can have one. But you cannot chew it. It will hurt your beak." + +The bird thanked her and picked a blue gem. He said, "This is my favorite color. It matches my eyes. You are very kind, little mouse. Can we be friends?" + +Ruby smiled and said, "Yes, we can be friends. I would like that. I have no other friends." + +The bird said, "Me neither. I fly alone in the sky. But now we have each other. We can visit and play and talk." + +Ruby and the bird became friends. They shared their gems and their stories. They were not lonely anymore. They were happy. +Sam and Lily wanted to play with sand. They had a big bucket and many colorful toys. They planned to make a sand castle with a moat and a bridge. They were very excited. + +They went to the park with their mom. The park had a big sandbox and a slide. Sam and Lily ran to the sandbox and started to fill their bucket with sand. They found a good spot to build their castle. They dumped the sand and shaped it with their hands and toys. + +"Look, our castle is almost done!" Sam said. "We just need to dig the moat and put the bridge." + +"OK, I'll dig the moat. You find the bridge." Lily said. She took a shovel and started to dig around the castle. She made a deep and wide moat. + +Sam looked for the bridge. He saw a colorful stick on the ground. He thought it was perfect for the bridge. He picked it up and ran to the castle. + +"Look, Lily, I found the bridge!" Sam said. He held the stick in the air. + +But the stick was not a stick. It was a snake. The snake was angry and scared. It hissed and wriggled in Sam's hand. + +"Ah! Snake! Snake!" Sam screamed. He dropped the snake and ran away. + +Lily screamed too. She dropped the shovel and ran away. + +The snake slithered away. It did not like the sandbox. + +The sand castle was ruined. The moat was filled with sand. The bridge was gone. + +Sam and Lily were sad and scared. They hugged their mom. She comforted them and gave them juice and cookies. + +They did not play with sand anymore.

Anna asks. + +"My name is Leo," the boy says. + +"Do you want to play with us?" Ben asks. + +Leo nods. He smiles a little. + +Anna and Ben take Leo to the slide. They show him how to go up and down.

She saw stuff that made her curious, like stars and mountains. She saw stuff that made her scared, like monsters and thunder. But she always knew it was just a dream, and she could wake up and be safe. + +One night, she had a different dream. She dreamed that she was flying in the sky, high above the ground. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She saw the clouds and the birds and the planes. She saw the distant places where she had never been. She saw the ocean and the desert and the forest. She saw the big cities and the small villages and the different people. She saw stuff that made her excited, like bridges and boats and trains.

She had a box full of shiny stones, feathers, buttons and shells. She liked to look at them and make patterns with them. One day, she went to the park with her mum and saw a big pond with many birds. She saw ducks, geese and one white swan. + +"Look, mum, a swan!" Lily said, pointing at the bird. "It is so fair and pretty. Can I collect a feather from it?" + +Mum shook her head. "No, Lily, you can't. The swan might get angry and bite you. And it is not nice to take something that belongs to someone else. The feather is part of the swan's body. How would you feel if someone took your hair?" + +Lily frowned. She did not want to make the swan angry or sad. But she still wanted a feather. She thought maybe she could find one on the ground, or ask the swan nicely. She walked closer to the pond, holding her box. + +The swan saw Lily and swam towards her. It stretched its long neck and looked at her curiously. Lily smiled and said, "Hello, swan. You are very fair and pretty. I like your feathers.

They see a big tree with many acorns. They want to pick some acorns and make a necklace. + +"Look, Ben, acorns!" Lily says. "Let's pick some!" + +"OK, Lily, let's pick some!" Ben says. They run to the tree and start to pick acorns. They find acorns that are brown and shiny. They find acorns that are green and soft. They find acorns that are big and small. + +"Wow, we have many acorns!" Lily says. She puts them in her pocket. "How many do you have, Ben?" + +"I have many too!" Ben says. He puts them in his bag. "But some are not ready. They are still on the tree." + +"Let's leave them there. They are not for us. They are for the squirrels." Lily says. She points to a squirrel that is climbing the tree. "See, he is looking for acorns too. He is hungry." + +"You are right, Lily. Let's share with the squirrels." Ben says. He smiles at the squirrel. "Hello, squirrel. We have some acorns for you. Do you want some?" + +The squirrel looks at them and nods. He comes down from the tree and takes an acorn from Ben's hand. He nibbles it and makes a happy sound. He takes another acorn from Lily's hand. He nibbles it and makes another happy sound. + +"Thank you, squirrel. You are welcome." Lily and Ben say. They give him some more acorns. They watch him eat and play. They are happy too. They have made a new friend. +Lily was a bird who liked to eat. She ate seeds, bugs, and berries. She was not picky. She had many green feathers on her wings and tail. She was proud of her feathers. They made her look pretty and helped her fly. + +One day, Lily saw a big red apple on a tree. She wanted to eat it. It looked juicy and sweet. She flew to the tree and landed on a branch. She pecked at the apple with her beak. It was yummy. She ate and ate until she was full. + +But then, she heard a loud noise. It was a cat. The cat saw Lily and the apple. The cat wanted to eat them both. The cat jumped on the tree and climbed the branch. Lily was scared. She tried to fly away, but her feathers were stuck to the apple. The apple was sticky from the juice. + +The cat was getting closer and closer. Lily pulled and pulled, but her feathers did not come off. She thought she was going to be eaten. She cried for help. She hoped someone would hear her. + +Then, she saw a friend. It was Ben, a blue bird. He heard Lily's cry and saw the cat. He flew to the tree and saw Lily's feathers stuck to the apple. He had an idea. He pecked at the apple with his beak. He made a hole in the apple. He pushed the apple off the branch. The apple fell to the ground, with Lily's feathers still on it. + +The cat saw the apple falling. He forgot about Lily and chased the apple. He wanted to eat it. He ran to the ground and pounced on the apple. He bit the apple and tasted the feathers. He did not like the feathers. They were not juicy or sweet. They were fluffy and tickly. He spat out the feathers and the apple. He was angry and confused. + +Lily was free. She thanked Ben for saving her. She was sad about her feathers, but she was happy to be alive. She flew away with Ben. They looked for more seeds, bugs, and berries. They did not eat apples anymore. They learned a lesson. Apples are not good for birds. Feathers are not good for cats. +Tom and Mia like to play with blocks. They make towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. Sometimes they have a contest to see who can make the tallest tower. They count the blocks and see the result. + +One day, Tom and Mia have a new idea. They want to make a wall with the blocks. They use all the blocks they have and make a long and thick wall. They are very proud of their wall. They think it is the best wall ever. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is Rex, the big dog. Rex likes to play too, but he does not know about the wall. He runs and jumps and crashes into the wall. The blocks fall down and make a big mess. Rex barks and wags his tail. He thinks it is a fun game. + +Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They worked hard to make the wall. They say, "Bad Rex! You broke our wall!" They try to fix the wall, but they do not have enough blocks. They look at Rex and see that he has some blocks in his mouth. He thinks they are toys. + +Tom and Mia have an idea. They say, "Rex, do you want to play with us?" They throw some blocks and Rex chases them. He brings them back and drops them. Tom and Mia use the blocks to make a new wall. They make it shorter and thicker, so Rex cannot break it. They say, "Good Rex! You helped us make a new wall!" They pet him and give him a treat. + +Tom and Mia are happy again. They have a new wall and a new friend. They say, "We all win!" They hug Rex and smile. They see the result and they like it. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to eat. They ate a lot of food every day, but they did not like to share. They always wanted to have more than the other, and they never said thank you. + +One day, their mom made a big cake for dessert. She told them to wait until after dinner, and then they could have a slice each. But Tim and Sam did not listen. They sneaked into the kitchen and saw the cake on the table. It looked yummy and smelled sweet. + +"Let's eat some now," Tim said. "Mom won't notice." + +"No, let's eat it all," Sam said. "Then we won't have to share." + +They grabbed the cake and ran to their room. They ate and ate until there was nothing left. They felt sick and full, but they did not care. They hid the plate under the bed and waited for dinner. + +At dinner time, their mom called them to the table. She had made their favorite soup and bread. But Tim and Sam did not want to eat. They felt too bad. + +"Are you not hungry?" their mom asked. "You usually love soup and bread." + +Tim and Sam shook their heads. They looked pale and sad. + +"Is something wrong?" their mom asked. "You look sick." + +Tim and Sam did not answer. They felt guilty and scared. + +Their mom had a question. She went to their room and looked under the bed. She saw the empty plate and the crumbs. She knew what they had done. + +She came back to the table and looked at them. She was not happy. + +"Did you eat the cake?" she asked. + +Tim and Sam nodded. They were sorry. + +"Why did you do that?" she asked. "That was very naughty and greedy. You did not wait, you did not share, and you did not say thank you. You wasted the cake and spoiled your appetite. You hurt your tummy and your mom." + +Tim and Sam cried. They realized they had made a big mistake. They wished they had listened to their mom and been nice to each other. + +They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They asked for forgiveness and promised to do better. + +Their mom forgave them and hugged them back. She said she loved them, but they had to learn a lesson. She said they had to go to bed without dessert for a week, and they had to help her bake a new cake for their dad. + +Tim and Sam agreed. They said they would be good and share. They said they would wait, say thank you, and eat healthy. + +They went to bed and felt better. They learned that eating too much and being selfish was not good. They learned that eating well and being kind was better. They learned that mom was always right. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. Mama is busy making dinner. She tells them to be careful and not touch anything. + +Sara sees a menu on the table. It has pictures of food. She wants to look at it. She grabs the menu and runs to the couch. Ben follows her. He wants the menu too. + +"Give me the menu, Sara!" Ben says. He tries to take it from her. + +"No, it's mine!" Sara says. She holds the menu tight. + +They pull and tug on the menu. It is fragile. It rips in half. They both cry. + +Mama hears them and comes to the couch. She sees the menu. It is her special menu. She made it for Papa's birthday. She is angry and sad. + +"Why did you rip the menu, Sara and Ben?" Mama says. "This was a surprise for Papa. You ruined it. You prevented me from making him happy." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They say they are sorry. But Mama is still mad. She sends them to their room. They can't have any dinner. They can't see Papa's cake. They can't give him hugs. + +Sara and Ben are very unhappy. They wish they had listened to Mama. They wish they had not ripped the menu. They wish they had a good ending. +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. One sunny day, they went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide that looked fun. They ran to the slide and took turns going down. They laughed and shouted as they slid fast. + +After a while, they wanted to see what else was in the park. They asked their mom if they could wander around. She said yes, but told them to stay close and not go too far. Tom and Mia nodded and held hands. They walked around the park and saw many things. They saw flowers, birds, swings, and a pond. + +They came to a bridge over the pond. They looked over the edge and saw fish and ducks. They threw some bread crumbs to the ducks and watched them eat. They were cheerful and happy. They waved to their mom who was sitting on a bench. She smiled and waved back. She was glad they were having fun. She called them to come back and have a snack. Tom and Mia ran back to her and hugged her. They told her about their adventure. They thanked her for taking them to the park. They ate their snack and drank some juice. They felt tired but happy. They loved the park and the slide. They loved their mom too. +Tim and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were brave explorers, looking for treasure and adventure. They had a big box that they used as their base. It was dependable, because it kept them safe and warm. + +One day, they heard a loud noise from behind the fence. It sounded like a growl. They were scared. They thought it was a monster. They ran to their box and hid inside. + +"Who is there?" Tim asked, trying to sound brave. + +There was no answer, only another growl. Tim and Lily hugged each other. + +"Maybe it will go away," Lily whispered. + +They waited for a long time, but the noise did not stop. It got louder and louder. They could hear something scratching the fence. + +Tim and Lily were very scared. They wished their mom or dad were there. They did not know what to do. + +Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice. + +"Tim! Lily! Where are you?" + +It was their dad. He had come home from work. He was looking for them. + +"Dad! Dad! We are here!" Tim and Lily shouted. They got out of their box and ran to their dad. They hugged him. + +"What's wrong, kids? Why are you so scared?" their dad asked. + +"There is a monster behind the fence, dad! It is making a lot of noise and trying to get us!" Tim and Lily said. + +Their dad smiled. He was not scared. He knew what the noise was. + +"That's not a monster, kids. That's Bruno, the neighbor's dog. He is friendly, but he likes to bark and dig. He is not trying to get you, he is just curious. Come on, I'll show you." + +Their dad took them to the fence. He called Bruno. Bruno came to the fence. He wagged his tail and licked their dad's hand. He was a big, brown dog, but he was not a monster. + +"See, kids? He is not scary. He is just a dog. He wants to play with you. Do you want to play with him?" their dad asked. + +Tim and Lily looked at Bruno. He looked nice. He did not growl anymore. He looked happy. + +"OK, dad. We want to play with him. Can we?" Tim and Lily asked. + +"Sure, kids. But first, let's ask the neighbor if it's OK. And remember, always be gentle and kind to animals. They are our friends, not our enemies," their dad said. + +Tim and Lily nodded. They were not scared anymore. They were happy. They had a new friend. And they still had their dependable box. They decided to share it with Bruno. They thought he would like it. They thought he would keep them company. They thought he was a good dog. +Lily was very excited. Today was her birthday and she had an amazing party planned. She wanted to dress in her best dress, the pink one with the flowers. She asked her mom to help her with the buttons and the bow. + +But when Lily woke up, she heard a loud noise. It was the alarm. There was a fire in the kitchen. Lily was scared. She ran to her mom and dad, who were already outside. They hugged her and told her they were safe. + +The firemen came and put out the fire. They were very brave and kind. They let Lily sit in the fire truck and wear a helmet. They also gave her a teddy bear and a balloon. Lily smiled. She was happy. + +Lily's mom and dad said they were sorry that her party was ruined. But Lily said it was okay. She said she had the best birthday ever. She said the firemen were her new friends. She said she still had her pink dress and her family. She said she was amazing. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park. They see a big house. The house has many windows and a red door. + +"Wow, look at that house!" Anna says. "It is so big and pretty. I want to live there." + +Ben shakes his head. "No, you can't live there. That house is not for you. It is for someone else. Someone rich and important." + +Anna feels sad. She likes the house. She thinks it is fair to live there. She has an idea. "Let's play a game," she says. "We can guess who lives in the house. Maybe it is a princess or a superhero or a pirate." + +Ben nods. He likes games. He thinks it is fun to guess. "Okay, let's play. I guess the house belongs to a princess. She has a crown and a dress and a horse." + +Anna shakes her head. "No, that is not right. I guess the house belongs to a superhero. He has a cape and a mask and a car." + +They take turns guessing. They have different ideas. They do not agree. They start to argue. + +"No, you are wrong. The house is for a pirate. He has a hat and a hook and a ship." + +"No, you are silly. The house is for a superhero. He has a laser and a robot and a jet." + +They raise their voices. They do not listen to each other. They are not friends anymore. + +Suddenly, they hear a noise. The red door opens. A man comes out. He has a beard and a smile and a bag. + +"Hello, children," he says. "What are you doing here?" + +Anna and Ben stop arguing. They look at the man. They are curious. + +"Who are you?" Anna asks. + +"I am the owner of this house," the man says. "I am a writer. I write stories for children. Do you like stories?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They like stories. They are sorry for arguing. + +"Yes, we like stories," Ben says. + +"Can you tell us a story?" Anna asks. + +The man smiles. He invites them in. He tells them a story. It is a story about a princess and a superhero and a pirate. They all live in the same house. They are friends. They share and help and have fun. + +Anna and Ben listen. They like the story. They think it is fair. They are friends again. They thank the man. They go back to the park. They play together. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big bulb in the ground. It was round and brown and had a green stem. + +"What is this?" Tom asked. + +"It is a flower bulb," Lily said. "My mom told me. It will grow into a pretty flower." + +"Can we see it?" Tom said. + +"No, we have to wait," Lily said. "It needs sun and water and time." + +Tom was not happy. He wanted to see the flower now. He pulled the bulb out of the ground. He broke the stem. + +"Look, I have it!" Tom said. + +Lily was angry. She cried. "You are bad, Tom! You killed the flower! Put it back!" + +Tom did not listen. He ran away with the bulb. He wanted to show it to his mom. + +He ran into the house. He saw his mom in the kitchen. She was making a cake. She had eggs and flour and sugar and butter. + +"Mom, look what I have!" Tom said. He held up the bulb. + +His mom was surprised. She did not see the bulb. She saw a big mess. Tom had covered the cake with dirt and mud. He had ruined the cake. + +"Tom, what did you do?" his mom said. She was angry. She took the bulb from Tom. She threw it in the trash. + +Tom was sad. He did not understand. He thought the bulb was normal. He thought his mom would like it. He did not get to see the flower. He did not get to eat the cake. He had a bad day. +Sam and Mia were very happy. They were going on a safari with their dad. They saw many animals in the big car. They saw lions, zebras, giraffes and elephants. They took pictures with their dad's camera. + +"Look, dad, a monkey!" Mia said. She pointed to a tree. A brown monkey was hanging from a branch. It had a long tail and big ears. + +"Wow, a monkey!" Sam said. He wanted to see it better. He opened the window of the car. He leaned out and waved to the monkey. + +"Sam, be careful!" dad said. "Don't go out of the car. The monkey might bite you." + +But Sam did not listen. He wanted to touch the monkey. He reached out his hand. The monkey saw Sam's hand. It was curious. It grabbed Sam's hand. It pulled Sam out of the car. + +"Help, dad, help!" Sam cried. He was scared. The monkey was strong. It dragged Sam to the tree. + +Dad was very worried. He had to save Sam. He grabbed the keys of the car. He ran to the tree. He saw the monkey and Sam. The monkey had locked Sam in a cage. The cage was made of sticks and vines. The monkey had the key. + +"Give me the key, monkey!" dad said. He tried to get the key from the monkey. But the monkey was fast. It jumped from one branch to another. It laughed at dad. + +"Please, monkey, please!" Sam said. He wanted to get out of the cage. He was sorry. He should have listened to dad. + +Mia saw what happened. She had an idea. She took a banana from the car. She showed it to the monkey. + +"Monkey, do you want a banana?" Mia said. She smiled at the monkey. The monkey liked bananas. It saw the banana. It wanted the banana.

He saw some bread crumbs on the ground and ran towards them. But he did not see the big frog that was hiding in the water. + +The frog jumped out and tried to catch the mouse with his tongue. The mouse was very scared and ran away. He heard the frog say, "Come back, little mouse, you are my lunch!" + +The mouse ran and ran until he saw a big rock. He climbed on top of it and looked around. He saw the frog was still following him. The frog said, "You cannot hide from me, little mouse, I will find you!" + +The mouse saw a stick on the rock. He had an idea. He picked up the stick and waited for the frog to come closer. When the frog was near the rock, the mouse threw the stick at him.

He said, "Ouch, that hurt, little mouse, you are very mean!" + +The mouse was very happy and said, "Ha ha, that served you right, big frog, you are very rude!" + +The mouse ran away from the pond and found a safe place to eat his bread crumbs. He said, "I am very brave and smart, I can escape from a scary frog!" +Tom and Lily liked to organize their toys. They had a big box for cars, a small box for dolls, and a shelf for books. They always put their toys back in the right place after playing. + +One day, a stranger came to their house. He said he was a friend of their mom and he wanted to see their toys. Tom and Lily did not know him, but they were polite and showed him their boxes and shelf. + +The stranger smiled and said, "Wow, you have so many nice toys. Can I play with them?" Tom and Lily nodded and let him pick some toys. He took a car, a doll, and a book. He said, "Thank you, you are very kind. I'll be back soon." + +But he did not come back. He ran away with their toys. He was a bad man who liked to steal from children. Tom and Lily waited and waited, but he never returned. They looked at their boxes and shelf and saw the empty spaces. They felt very sad and angry. They had lost their favorite toys. + +They ran to their mom and told her what happened. She hugged them and said, "I'm so sorry, my loves. That man was not my friend. He was a liar and a thief. He tricked you and took your toys. We will call the police and try to find him. But I don't know if we can get your toys back." + +Tom and Lily cried and cried. They felt miserable. They wished they had never let the stranger in. They wished they had kept their toys safe. They learned a hard lesson that day.

There are big trees, and animals, and secrets." + +Daddy nodded and smiled. He liked to hear Emma's stories. He said, "Yes, please. Tell me about the mysterious forest. What happens there?" + +Emma said, "Well, one day, a girl named Lily went to the mysterious forest. She was very brave and curious. She wanted to see what was there. She walked and walked, until she saw a big house. It was old and broken, and had no windows or doors. It looked like nobody lived there. But Lily wanted to see inside. She pushed a wooden plank and made a hole. She crawled inside the house." + +Daddy said, "Oh, that sounds dangerous. What did she find inside the house?" + +Emma said, "She found a lot of things. She found books, and toys, and clothes, and pictures. She found a doll that looked like her, and a teddy bear that looked like yours. She found a letter that said, 'To my dear Lily, I love you very much. I hope you are happy and safe. I will come back for you someday. Love, Daddy.' She was very surprised and confused. She wondered who wrote the letter, and who was the other Lily. She felt sad and scared. She wanted to go back home." + +Daddy said, "That is a very mysterious story, Emma. How did it end?" + +Emma said, "She heard a noise outside. She looked through the hole and saw a man. He had a big beard and a hat. He looked like the picture in the letter.

I've been looking for you for a long time. Come with me, we'll be together again.' He reached his hand inside the hole and waited for Lily to take it." + +Daddy said, "Wow, that is a very happy ending. Did Lily go with him?" + +Emma said, "Yes, she did. She took his hand and crawled out of the hole. She hugged him and cried. He hugged her and kissed her. He said, 'I'm sorry I left you, Lily. I had to go away for a while. But I never forgot you.

Good night." + +Daddy said, "Good night, Emma. Sweet dreams." He tucked her in and kissed her forehead. He turned off the light and left the room. He smiled and thought, "What a mysterious forest. What a wonderful story. What a lovely daughter." +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big rock with a message on it. The message said: "Be kind to others and share your toys." Tom and Sue thought the message was nice and wanted to keep the rock. + +But they did not agree on who should have the rock. Tom said: "I saw it first, so it is mine." Sue said: "No, I touched it first, so it is mine." They started to pull and tug on the rock, and they got angry and sad. + +Then, a careless dog came by and saw the rock. The dog thought the rock was a ball and wanted to play with it. The dog ran to the rock and bit it with his teeth. He dragged the rock away from Tom and Sue and ran to the pond. He threw the rock into the water and jumped in to fetch it. He washed the rock with his tongue and made the message disappear. + +Tom and Sue saw what the dog did and felt sorry. They realized that they had been selfish and silly. They ran to the pond and called the dog. They said: "Please, give us back our rock. We are sorry for fighting. We want to be kind and share." The dog heard them and wagged his tail. He brought the rock back to them and licked their faces. + +Tom and Sue thanked the dog and hugged him. They looked at the rock and saw that the message was gone. They said: "Oh no, the message is gone. What did it say?" They tried to remember, but they could not. They said: "Maybe it does not matter. Maybe the message was in our hearts all along. We just need to be kind to others and share our toys." They smiled and nodded. They decided to play with the rock together and share it with the dog. They learned their lesson and became happier friends. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They are having fun. + +But then a big boy comes. He is rude.

He said, "Hello, kids! Do you want some ice cream? It is very tasty and cold. Come and see what I have!" + +Lily and Ben loved ice cream, but they knew they had to ask their mom first. They ran to their house and knocked on the door. Their mom opened the door and smiled. She said, "What is it, my darlings?" + +Lily and Ben said, "Mom, can we have some ice cream? There is a van outside with many tasty things. The man said we can come and see." + +Their mom looked at the van and frowned. She said, "No, my darlings, you cannot have ice cream from that van. That man is not nice. He wants to trick you and take you away. You should never go with strangers, even if they have tasty things. You should always stay with me or someone you know and trust. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, mom, we understand. We are sorry. We will not go with strangers. We will stay with you." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I am proud of you, my darlings. You are smart and brave. How about we make some ice cream at home? We have milk, sugar, and fruit. It will be tasty and safe. Come and help me!" + +Lily and Ben smiled and followed their mom to the kitchen. They forgot about the van and the man. They had fun making ice cream with their mom. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and listen to their mom. They learned that strangers are not always nice, even if they have tasty things. They learned that the best things are the ones that come from love. +Anna and Ben like to play hide and seek. They take turns to hide and find each other. One day, they play in the big house. The big house has many rooms and many things. Anna and Ben think it is fun to hide in the big house. + +Anna is the hider. She runs to the attic. The attic is dark and dusty. Anna sees a big box. She thinks it is a good place to hide. She opens the box and climbs inside. She closes the lid. She waits for Ben to find her. + +Ben is the finder. He counts to ten. He looks for Anna in the big house. He goes to the kitchen, the living room, the bedroom, but he does not see Anna. He wonders where she is. He hears a noise from the attic. He thinks Anna is there. He goes to the attic. + +Ben sees the big box. He thinks Anna is inside. He walks to the box. He opens the lid. He says, "I found you, Anna!" But he does not see Anna. He sees a ghost. The ghost is white and soft. The ghost says, "Boo!" + +Ben is scared. He screams and runs away. Anna hears Ben scream. She comes out of the box. She sees the ghost. The ghost is her blanket. She put it in the box to make it look like a ghost. She laughs and says, "It is not a ghost, Ben. It is my blanket. I tricked you!" + +Ben comes back to the attic. He sees Anna and the blanket. He realizes it is a joke. He laughs and says, "You are silly, Anna. You scared me with your blanket. That was a good trick!" + +Anna and Ben hug and say sorry. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They play hide and seek again. They have fun in the big house. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small car. They take turns to kick the ball and drive the car. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog has a collar and a leash. The dog is a guard. He is with a man. The man is a regular. He comes to the park every day. + +The dog barks at Tim and Sam. He wants to play with them. But Tim and Sam are scared. They run away from the dog. They leave the ball and the car behind. + +"Hey, come back!" the man says. "He won't hurt you. He is friendly. He just wants to have fun." + +But Tim and Sam do not listen. They hide behind a tree. They wait for the man and the dog to go away. + +The dog sees the ball and the car. He likes them. He runs to them. He picks up the ball in his mouth. He pushes the car with his paw. + +"Stop!" the man says. "Those are not yours. They belong to the boys. Give them back." + +But the dog does not listen. He plays with the ball and the car. He has fun. + +The man tries to catch the dog. He pulls the leash. He calls his name. But the dog is too fast. He runs around the park. He makes the man tired. + +Tim and Sam watch from the tree. They are angry. They want their ball and their car back. They do not like the dog. They do not like the man. + +They wait for a long time. They hope the dog will get bored. They hope the man will give up. + +But the dog does not get bored. The man does not give up. They keep playing with the ball and the car. + +Tim and Sam are sad. They do not know what to do. They sit on the ground. They cry. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat snacks. One day, Mom gives them each an orange. Tim and Kim peel the orange and see the juicy slices. + +Tim takes a big bite of his orange. He makes a sour face and spits it out. "Yuck! This orange is rough and bitter!" he says. He does not like the orange. + +Kim takes a small bite of her orange. She smiles and licks her lips. "Mmm! This orange is sweet and soft!" she says. She likes the orange. + +Tim and Kim look at their oranges. They see that they are different. Tim's orange is green and hard. Kim's orange is orange and ripe. Mom made a mistake and gave Tim a lime. + +Tim and Kim laugh and trade their fruits. Tim bites the orange and Kim bites the lime. They both enjoy their snacks. They say thank you to Mom and hug each other. They are happy twins. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their scooters in the park. They had red scooters that were fast and shiny. They felt happy when they rode their scooters. + +One day, a big boy came to the park. He had a black scooter that was bigger and louder than Ben and Lily's scooters. He said he was the best scooter rider in the world. He said Ben and Lily's scooters were silly and small. He made fun of them and laughed. + +Ben and Lily felt sad and angry. They did not like the big boy. They wanted him to go away. They said, "Stop being mean to us. We like our scooters. They are perfect for us. You are not the best. You are rude." + +The big boy did not listen. He said, "You are wrong. I am the best. Watch me do a trick." He rode his scooter very fast and tried to jump over a bench. But he did not land well. He fell off his scooter and hurt his knee. He cried and screamed. He suffered a lot. + +Ben and Lily saw what happened. They felt sorry for the big boy. They rode their scooters to him and asked, "Are you okay? Do you need help?" The big boy was surprised. He said, "You are nice to me. Even after I was mean to you. Why?" + +Ben and Lily said, "Because we are friends. And friends are kind to each other. Even when they are different. We can share our scooters with you. If you want." The big boy smiled. He said, "Thank you. I am sorry. I was wrong. You are the best. Can we be friends?" Ben and Lily nodded. They helped the big boy get up and gave him a band-aid. They played with their scooters together. They had fun. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big red balloon tied to a bench. Sara wants the balloon. She runs to the bench and tries to untie the knot. + +"Stop, Sara!" Ben shouts. "That is not your balloon. Someone else left it there." + +"But I want it. It is so pretty and shiny. Please, Ben, help me get it." Sara begs. + +Ben shakes his head. He knows it is wrong to take things that are not theirs. He looks around and sees a man walking towards them. He has a bag of balloons in his hand. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like balloons?" the man asks with a smile. + +"Yes, we do!" Sara and Ben say together. + +"Well, I have some extra balloons for you. You can choose any color you want. But you have to promise me something. Can you do that?" the man says. + +"What do we have to promise?" Sara asks. + +"You have to promise to share your balloons with your friends and not to let them fly away. Balloons are fun, but they can also hurt the birds and the trees if they get stuck in the air. Do you understand?" the man says. + +Sara and Ben nod. They understand. They do not want to hurt the birds and the trees. They want to be good and kind. + +"OK, then. Here you go. One balloon for each of you. And as a bonus, I have some yummy cookies for you too. Enjoy!" the man says. He gives them each a balloon and a cookie. He unties the red balloon from the bench and gives it to Sara. She is very happy. + +"Thank you, mister. You are very nice." Sara and Ben say. + +"You are very welcome, kids. Have a wonderful day." the man says. He waves goodbye and walks away. + +Sara and Ben hug their balloons and eat their cookies. They are very happy too. They decide to share their balloons with their other friends in the park. They tie their balloons to their wrists so they do not fly away. They have a lot of fun. They learn that sharing is caring and that balloons are better on the ground than in the sky. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big orange slide. They want to go on the slide, but it looks wet. + +"Who made the slide wet?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe it rained," Ben says. + +"Or maybe someone spilled juice," Anna says. + +They go closer to the slide and touch it. It is not wet, it is sticky. + +"Yuck!" they say. + +They look around and see a boy with a juice box. He is laughing. + +"I made the slide sticky!" he says. "It is a funny joke!" + +Anna and Ben are not happy. They do not like the boy's joke. + +"That is not funny, that is mean!" Anna says. + +"You should say sorry and clean the slide!" Ben says. + +The boy does not listen. He runs away with his juice box. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They cannot go on the slide. + +They guess they have to find another game to play. +Ben and Mia went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and zebras. But their favorite animal was the kangaroo. They wanted to see the baby kangaroos in their mom's pouch. + +They ran to the kangaroo area and looked for the baby kangaroos. But they could not see any. All the kangaroos were lying on the grass and relaxing. They looked very sleepy and cozy. + +"Mom, where are the baby kangaroos?" Ben asked. + +"They are hiding in their mom's pouch, Ben. They are very shy and need to feel safe," mom said. + +"Can we wait for them to come out?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, we can wait for a little while. But we have to be very quiet and patient. Maybe they will peek out if we are gentle and friendly," mom said. + +Ben and Mia nodded and sat on a bench near the kangaroo area. They watched the kangaroos and whispered to each other. They hoped to see the baby kangaroos soon. They were very curious and excited. + +After a few minutes, one of the kangaroos lifted her head and looked at them. She saw that they were not loud or scary. She slowly got up and hopped towards them. She had a big pouch on her belly. Ben and Mia smiled and waved at her. + +"Hello, kangaroo. You are very pretty and soft. Do you have a baby in your pouch?" Mia said. + +The kangaroo nodded and opened her pouch a little bit. Ben and Mia gasped and clapped. They saw a tiny kangaroo head poking out. It had big ears and a cute nose. It looked at them with curious eyes. + +"Hello, baby kangaroo. You are very cute and brave. Do you want to play with us?" Ben said. + +The baby kangaroo nodded and came out of the pouch a little more. It stretched its legs and tail. It looked happy and curious. It hopped towards Ben and Mia. They giggled and petted it gently. They played with the baby kangaroo for a while. They had a lot of fun. + +Mom watched them and smiled. She was glad that they were patient and friendly. She took a picture of them with the kangaroos. She thought it was a very special day. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, but they also wanted to try each other's toys. + +"Can I play with your car, Ben?" Anna asked. + +"No, it's mine. You have your doll," Ben said. + +"But I want to spin the wheels. They look so fast and shiny," Anna said. + +"Well, I want to comb your doll's hair. It looks so soft and pretty," Ben said. + +They both reached for each other's toys, but they pulled too hard and the toys fell on the floor. The car's wheels broke and the doll's hair got tangled. + +"Oh no! Look what you did!" Ben cried. + +"You did it too! You ruined my doll!" Anna cried. + +They both started to cry and stamp their feet. They were very angry and sad. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken toys and the crying children. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. + +"Anna broke my car!" Ben said. + +"Ben broke my doll!" Anna said. + +Mom sighed and picked up the toys. She looked at them and saw that they could be fixed. + +"Listen, Anna and Ben. I know you both wanted to play with each other's toys, but you should have asked nicely and shared. You were not very thoughtful. Now you have hurt each other and your toys. How do you feel?" Mom asked. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they had been selfish and mean. + +"We feel bad, Mom. We're sorry," Anna said. + +"We're sorry, Mom. We feel bad," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. + +"That's good. I'm glad you're sorry. Now, let's see if we can fix your toys. Maybe we can glue the wheels back on the car and untangle the doll's hair. And then, maybe you can play with them together, if you promise to be careful and kind. What do you say?" Mom asked. + +Anna and Ben nodded and smiled. + +"Yes, Mom. We promise. Thank you, Mom," Anna said. + +"Thank you, Mom. We promise. Yes, Mom," Ben said. + +Mom helped them fix their toys and then gave them back. Anna and Ben played with them together, spinning the wheels and combing the hair. They also said sorry to each other and gave each other a hug. They were happy and thoughtful. Mom was proud of them. +Tim and Liz were playing in the classroom after school. They liked to draw on the blackboard with chalk. They made pictures of animals, houses, and stars. They had fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was the teacher, Mrs. Lee. She was coming back to the classroom. She looked angry. + +"What are you doing here?" she asked. "You are not supposed to be here. And look at this mess! You have to clean the blackboard right now!" + +Tim and Liz were scared. They did not want to make Mrs. Lee mad. They did not want to clean the blackboard. They wished they could reverse what they did. + +They looked around. They saw a big red button on the wall. It said "Reverse". They did not know what it meant. But they thought it might help them. + +They ran to the button and pushed it. Suddenly, everything changed. The blackboard was clean. The chalk was in the box. The pictures were gone. Tim and Liz were happy. + +But then, they saw something else. The classroom was different. The chairs were big. The books were big. The teacher was big. Everything was enormous. + +Tim and Liz were shocked. They realized they made a mistake. They did not reverse what they did. They reversed themselves. They became very small. + +They heard Mrs. Lee's voice. It was very loud. She said, "Who pushed the reverse button? Where are you? Come out right now!" + +Tim and Liz were in trouble. They did not know what to do. They hid under the desk and hoped Mrs. Lee would not find them. They wished they could reverse the reverse. +Mira and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers of different colors. Mira likes the pink ones. Ben likes the yellow ones. + +One day, their mom gives them a surprise. She has two pots with bulbs in them. She says, "These are special flowers. They will grow and bloom in the spring. You can choose one pot each and take care of them." + +Mira and Ben are happy. They look at the bulbs. They are brown and round. They do not look like flowers. But mom says they are. + +Mira chooses the pot with the red label. She thinks the red label is attractive. She hopes the flower will be pink. Ben chooses the pot with the green label. He thinks the green label is attractive. He hopes the flower will be yellow. + +They take their pots to the garden. They dig a hole and plant the bulbs. They water them and cover them with soil. They make a sign with their names and the labels. + +They wait for the spring. They wonder what the flowers will look like. They are excited. They say to each other, "I can't wait to see our flowers!" +Lily was a little girl who liked to count. She counted everything she saw: the birds in the sky, the flowers in the garden, the buttons on her dress. She had a purse that her grandma gave her. It was pink and shiny and had a zipper. Lily liked to put things in her purse and count them. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She ran to the slide and put her purse on the bench. She climbed up the ladder and slid down with a whoosh. She felt mighty and happy. She wanted to do it again. + +But when she went back to the bench, her purse was gone. She looked around and saw a boy holding it. He was bigger than her and had a mean face. He opened her purse and dumped out her things. He laughed and said, "What a silly purse! It has nothing good in it. Just some rocks and shells and a feather. You can't buy anything with these. They are worthless." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She ran to the boy and said, "Give me back my purse! It is mine and I like it. Those are not rocks and shells and a feather. They are my treasures. I counted them and they are many. They are precious to me. You are mean and rude. You have no right to take my purse and my treasures." + +The boy was surprised by Lily's words. He looked at her and saw her brave eyes and her red cheeks. He felt ashamed and scared. He said, "I'm sorry. I was just joking. Here, take your purse and your treasures. I don't want them. They are yours and you can count them. You are mighty and smart. You have a right to like your purse and your treasures." + +Lily took her purse and her treasures. She put them back in her purse and zipped it. She said, "Thank you. I forgive you. But don't do that again. Don't take things that are not yours and don't make fun of people. That is not nice. Everyone has something they like and they can count. That is what makes them happy." + +The boy nodded and said, "You're right. I'm sorry. I have something I like and I can count too. It is my ball. It is blue and bouncy and has a star on it. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, I do. Let's play. But first, let me count my treasures one more time. They are still many and precious to me." + +The end. +Anna likes to rock on her yellow horse. She rocks back and forth, back and forth, and makes a happy sound. She pretends she is riding in the park, where she sees flowers and birds and dogs. + +One day, her grandma comes to visit. Grandma brings a big bag with a surprise for Anna. Anna is curious and excited. She stops rocking and runs to hug grandma. + +"Hello, my dear," grandma says. "I have something for you. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, please, grandma," Anna says. "What is it?" + +Grandma opens the bag and takes out a book. It is a book about horses. It has many pictures of different horses, some big, some small, some brown, some white, some black. + +"Look, Anna," grandma says. "This is a book for you. You can learn about horses and their names and what they do. Do you like it?" + +Anna's eyes shine. She loves the book. She takes it from grandma and hugs it. + +"Thank you, grandma," she says. "I love it. Can you read it to me?" + +"Of course, my dear," grandma says. "Let's sit on the couch and read it together." + +Anna and grandma sit on the couch and open the book. Anna points to the pictures and asks questions. Grandma reads the words and tells stories. They have a lot of fun. Anna learns a lot about horses. She still likes to rock on her yellow horse, but now she also likes to read about horses with grandma. +Sam and Mia were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big red balloon at the store. They wanted the balloon very much, but they had no money. + +"Can we have the balloon, Mom?" they asked. + +"Sorry, kids, we don't have enough money for the balloon today. Maybe another time," Mom said. + +Sam and Mia were sad, but they did not give up. They had a plan. They went home and looked for things they could sell. They found some old toys, some books, and some clothes. They put them in a box and went outside. They made a sign that said "Sale" and waited for people to come. + +Soon, a lady came by and saw the box. She looked at the toys and the books and the clothes. She picked up a teddy bear and smiled. + +"How much for this?" she asked. + +"Two dollars," Sam said. + +The lady gave Sam two dollars and took the teddy bear. Sam and Mia were happy. They had some money. + +They waited for more people to come, but no one else did. They looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark. They were tired and hungry. They still did not have enough money for the balloon. + +"Let's go home, Sam," Mia said. + +"OK, Mia," Sam said. + +They packed up their box and started to walk home. On the way, they passed by the store again. They saw the big red balloon in the window. It looked so shiny and pretty. They wanted it so much. + +"Please, Mom, can we have the balloon now?" they asked. + +Mom looked at them and saw their persistent faces. She saw the box and the sign and the money. She understood how hard they had tried. + +She smiled and said, "OK, kids, you can have the balloon. You earned it." + +She took the money and went inside the store. She came out with the big red balloon and gave it to Sam and Mia. They were so happy. They hugged Mom and thanked her. They hugged each other and thanked each other. They hugged the balloon and stretched it high in the air. They felt like they could fly. +Tim and Tom are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many toys with motors that can move fast. They have a big box where they keep their toys. + +One day, Tim sees a new toy in the box. It is a red car with a shiny motor. It looks perfect. Tim wants to play with it. He takes it out of the box and turns it on. The car moves very fast and makes a loud noise. + +"Wow, this is the best toy ever!" Tim says. "I want to keep it for myself." + +Tom hears the noise and comes to see. He sees the red car and likes it too. He wants to play with it. + +"Hey, that's a new toy!" Tom says. "Can I try it?" + +"No, it's mine!" Tim says. "I found it first. Go away!" + +Tom feels sad and angry. He thinks Tim is not nice. He tries to grab the car from Tim. Tim pulls it back. They start to fight. + +"Give it to me!" Tom says. + +"No, it's mine!" Tim says. + +They pull and push and shout. The car falls to the floor. It breaks into pieces. The motor stops working. The car does not move anymore. + +Tim and Tom look at the broken car. They feel sorry and scared. They know they did something bad. They know their mom will be mad. + +They hear their mom coming. She sees the broken car and the mess. She is very mad. + +"What did you do?" she says. "Why did you break the new toy? It was a gift from your grandpa. He wanted you to share it and have fun. But you were selfish and greedy. You did not care about each other. You did not care about the toy. You wasted a perfect gift. You should be ashamed." + +Tim and Tom feel very ashamed. They wish they had not fought. They wish they had shared the car. They wish they had been nice to each other. They say sorry to their mom and to each other. But it is too late. The car is broken. The gift is gone. They have no more fun. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Fighting is bad. Be nice to your brother. +Anna loves her kitten, Fluffy. Fluffy is soft and cute, but sometimes he is messy. He likes to play with Anna's toys, and he does not put them back. He also likes to scratch the sofa, and he does not listen when Anna says no. + +One day, Anna's mom says they have to go to the store. She tells Anna to behave and watch Fluffy. She says she will be back soon. Anna says okay and hugs her mom. + +Anna and Fluffy play with a ball. Fluffy chases the ball and makes it roll under the bed. Anna crawls under the bed to get the ball. She sees a lot of dust and some socks. She sneezes. + +"Fluffy, come here!" Anna calls. "Let's play with something else." + +But Fluffy does not come. He sees a shiny thing on the table. It is mom's necklace. Fluffy jumps on the table and grabs the necklace. He runs away with it. + +"Fluffy, no!" Anna shouts. "That is mom's! Give it back!" + +But Fluffy does not give it back. He runs to the kitchen and hides under the sink. He plays with the necklace and makes it tangled. + +Anna follows Fluffy and tries to get the necklace. She reaches under the sink and grabs Fluffy. Fluffy hisses and scratches Anna's hand. Anna cries. + +"Ow, Fluffy! That hurts!" Anna says. "Why are you so mean?" + +Fluffy looks at Anna and sees her tears. He feels sorry. He drops the necklace and licks Anna's hand. He purrs and rubs his head on Anna's arm. + +"I'm sorry, Fluffy," Anna says. "I know you just want to have fun. But you have to behave. Mom will be mad if you break her necklace." + +Anna untangles the necklace and puts it back on the table. She picks up Fluffy and hugs him. She says she loves him. + +They go back to the living room and play with the ball. They put the toys back when they are done. They wait for mom to come back. + +Mom comes back and sees Anna and Fluffy on the sofa. They are both asleep. Mom smiles and kisses them. She says they are good and she loves them. +Lily was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her dolls and her makeup. She had a lot of makeup that her mom gave her. She had red lipstick, pink blush, blue eyeshadow, and glitter. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a girl who was playing with a ball. The girl had curly hair and a green dress. She looked nice, but Lily was shy. She did not go to say hello. + +The girl saw Lily and smiled. She walked to Lily and said, "Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily was shy. She did not say anything. She just held her makeup bag tight. + +Anna saw the makeup bag and said, "Wow, you have makeup! Can I see?" + +Lily was shy. She did not want to share her makeup. She shook her head. + +Anna said, "Please, I like makeup too. I have some at home, but not as much as you. We can play together. I can be your friend." + +Lily was shy. She did not have many friends. She looked at Anna and saw that she was nice. She wanted to play with her. She nodded. + +Anna said, "Yay, thank you! You are very kind. What is your name?" + +Lily said, "I'm Lily." + +Anna said, "Hi, Lily. I'm happy to meet you. Can I hold your makeup bag?" + +Lily said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. It is very special to me." + +Anna said, "I will. Don't worry. You can hold my ball. It is very special to me too." + +Lily said, "Thank you. I like your ball. It is very pretty." + +Anna said, "You're welcome. I like your makeup. It is very shiny." + +Lily and Anna smiled. They held each other's things and walked to a bench. They sat down and played with the makeup and the ball. They had fun. They were not shy anymore. They were friends. +Tommy liked to watch the squirrels in the park. They were fast and smart. They could jump from tree to tree and find nuts to eat. Tommy wanted to be friends with them, but they were shy and ran away when he came close. + +One day, Tommy saw a squirrel that was different. It had a white tail and a red collar. It looked at Tommy with curious eyes and did not run away. Tommy smiled and walked slowly towards it. He had some bread in his pocket that he wanted to share. + +"Hello, squirrel," Tommy said softly. "Do you want some bread? I have a lot. You can have some." + +The squirrel tilted its head and made a chirping sound. It seemed to understand Tommy. It came closer and sniffed the bread. Then it took a small bite and nodded. It liked the bread. + +"Are you a special squirrel?" Tommy asked. "You have a white tail and a red collar. Where did you come from?" + +The squirrel made another sound and pointed its nose to the sky. It looked like it was trying to say something. Tommy followed its gaze and saw a big metal bird flying over the park. It had a sign that said "Zoo". + +"Did you come from the zoo?" Tommy guessed. "Did you escape from the metal bird?" + +The squirrel nodded again and looked sad. It missed its home and its friends. It did not like the park. It was too noisy and crowded. It wanted to go back to the zoo. + +Tommy felt sorry for the squirrel. He wanted to help it. He had an idea. + +"I can take you back to the zoo," Tommy said. "I know where it is. It is not far. We can go on the bus. Do you want to go with me?" + +The squirrel looked at Tommy with grateful eyes. It nodded and climbed on his shoulder. It trusted Tommy. Tommy was kind and smart. He was a good friend. + +Tommy and the squirrel left the park and walked to the bus stop. They remained together until they reached the zoo. There, Tommy found the cage where the squirrel belonged. He opened the door and let the squirrel inside. The squirrel hugged Tommy and thanked him. Then it ran to join its friends. They were happy to see it. + +Tommy waved goodbye to the squirrel and smiled. He was happy too. He had made a new friend and helped it. He hoped to see the squirrel again someday. He knew the squirrel would remember him. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +But then the sun started to go down. The sky became red and orange and purple. It was very pretty. Lily and Tom looked at the sunset and said wow. + +"Look, Tom, the sun is burning!" Lily said. + +"No, Lily, the sun is not burning. It is just hiding behind the hills. It will come back tomorrow." Tom said. + +"But why is it so large and bright?" Lily asked. + +"Because it is far away and it is saying goodbye to us. It is like a big smile." Tom said. + +Lily and Tom smiled back at the sun. They waved their hands and said goodbye. Then they picked up their ball and went home with their mom. They had a good day. +Anna liked to create things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of her family, her dog, and her favorite toys. She was very proud of her creations and showed them to her mom and dad. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and brought her crayons and paper. She found a nice spot under a tree and started to create a picture of the park. She used green for the grass, blue for the sky, and yellow for the sun. + +But while she was busy creating, a thief came and took her crayons and paper. He ran away very fast and laughed. Anna was very sad and angry. She cried and shouted, "Hey, that's mine! Give it back!" + +Her mom heard her and saw the thief. She ran after him and caught him. She said, "How dare you steal from a little girl? That's very bad and mean. Give her back her crayons and paper now!" + +The thief was scared and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just wanted to create something too. But I don't have any crayons or paper. It was easy to take hers." + +Anna's mom said, "That's no excuse. You can't just take what's not yours. That's wrong and hurts others. If you want to create something, you have to ask nicely or buy your own crayons and paper. Do you understand?" + +The thief nodded and said, "I understand. I'm sorry, Anna. Here are your crayons and paper. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna looked at him and saw that he was sorry. She said, "I forgive you. But don't do it again. And maybe you can create something with me. I have enough crayons and paper to share." + +The thief smiled and said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind and generous. Can I create something with you?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, you can. Come, let's create something together." + +And so they did. They created pictures of the park, of their families, and of their new friendship. They had fun and learned to share and respect each other. Anna's mom was happy and proud of her daughter. She said, "You are a very good and creative girl, Anna. I love you very much." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. But sometimes they fight over toys and books. Lily is bossy. She wants to have everything her way. Ben is sad. He wants to share and have fun. + +One day, it is cold and rainy. Lily and Ben cannot go outside. They are bored. They look for something to do. They see a big blanket on their bed. Lily has an idea. She says, "Let's make a fort with the blanket. It will be fun. But I am the boss. You have to do what I say." + +Ben agrees. He likes forts. He helps Lily to get the blanket and some chairs. They make a fort in the corner of the room. They crawl inside. It is cozy and warm. But Lily is not happy. She says, "This is my fort. You cannot touch anything. You have to sit there and be quiet. If you don't, I will kick you out." + +Ben is hurt. He does not like to be bossed around. He says, "But Lily, this is our fort. We made it together. We should share and have fun. Why are you so mean?" + +Lily does not listen. She says, "No, this is my fort. You are not my friend. Go away." + +Ben is angry. He says, "Fine. I don't want to play with you. You are not nice. I will find something else to do." He gets out of the fort and leaves the blanket. He goes to the other side of the room. He finds a book and a toy car. He starts to play by himself. + +Lily is alone in the fort. She thinks she is happy. She has the blanket and the fort. She can do what she wants. But soon she feels lonely. She hears Ben playing and laughing. She wants to join him. She says, "Ben, can I play with you? I am sorry I was bossy. I want to be your friend." + +Ben looks at her. He says, "Really? Do you mean it? Will you share and have fun?" + +Lily nods. She says, "Yes, I mean it. I was wrong. I don't want to be bossy. I want to be nice. Can we play together?" + +Ben smiles. He says, "Yes, we can play together. Come here. We can read the book and play with the car. And we can use the blanket to make a bigger fort. It will be more fun." + +Lily and Ben hug. They are happy. They get the blanket and some more chairs. They make a bigger fort in the middle of the room. They crawl inside. They read the book and play with the car. They share and have fun. They learn to be kind and respectful. They are good twins. +Tim and Tom were brothers who liked to race their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite ones were red and blue. They would race them on the floor, on the table, or on the sofa, and see who was faster. + +One day, they found a bottle of oil in the kitchen. They thought it would make their cars go faster, so they poured some oil on the floor and on their cars. Then they started to race again, but they soon found out that oil was not good for racing. + +The oil made the floor slippery and the cars hard to control. Tim and Tom's cars slid and crashed into each other, into the walls, and into the furniture. They made a big mess and a loud noise. They also got oil on their hands, clothes, and faces. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was going on. She was very angry and frightened when she saw the oil and the mess. She scolded Tim and Tom and told them to clean up everything. She also explained to them that oil was not for playing, but for cooking, and that it could be dangerous and harmful. + +Tim and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They apologized to Mom and helped her clean up the oil and the mess. They learned their lesson and never played with oil again. They also learned to be careful and respectful with things that were not theirs. They still liked to race their cars, but only with water or soap. +Lila likes to fold paper. She can make many shapes with paper. She can make a bird, a boat, a hat, and more. She likes to show her paper shapes to her mom and dad. They say she is very good at folding paper. + +One day, Lila wants to play with her paper shapes outside. She takes her paper and goes to the backyard. She sees a big tree with many leaves. She thinks the tree is very pretty. She wants to make a paper shape like the tree. + +She takes a green paper and folds it many times. She makes a paper leaf. She is happy with her paper leaf. She makes more paper leaves with different green papers. She has many paper leaves now. She thinks they are unique. + +She runs to the tree and puts her paper leaves on the branches. She wants to make the tree more colorful. She thinks the tree will like her paper leaves. She smiles and says, "Look, tree, I made you some friends. They are paper leaves. They are unique like you." +Sara likes to teach her doll how to do things. She teaches her doll how to brush her hair, how to dress up, and how to say hello. Sara is very gentle with her doll, because her doll is fragile. She does not want to break her doll or make her sad. + +One day, Sara decides to teach her doll how to smell. She says, "Doll, this is your nose. You use your nose to smell things. Smelling is fun. You can smell flowers, cookies, and soap. Do you want to smell with me?" Sara holds her doll close to her face and points to her nose. + +Sara takes her doll to the garden, where there are many flowers. She picks a yellow flower and puts it under her nose. She says, "Doll, this is a flower. It smells sweet and nice. Can you smell it?" She puts the flower under her doll's nose and waits for her to say something. But her doll does not say anything. Sara thinks her doll is shy. + +Sara takes her doll to the kitchen, where her mom is baking cookies. She says, "Doll, this is a cookie. It smells yummy and warm. Can you smell it?" She puts a cookie under her doll's nose and waits for her to say something. But her doll does not say anything. Sara thinks her doll is hungry. + +Sara takes her doll to the bathroom, where her dad is shaving. She says, "Doll, this is soap. It smells clean and fresh. Can you smell it?" She puts a bar of soap under her doll's nose and waits for her to say something. But her doll does not say anything. Sara thinks her doll is sleepy. + +Sara is sad. She thinks her doll does not like to smell. She says, "Doll, why don't you say anything? Don't you like to smell? Don't you like me?" She hugs her doll and cries. + +Her dad hears her cry and comes to see what is wrong. He says, "Sara, what's the matter? Why are you crying?" Sara says, "Dad, I tried to teach my doll how to smell, but she does not say anything. She does not like to smell. She does not like me." + +Her dad smiles and says, "Sara, your doll does like you. She likes you very much. But she cannot smell, because she is a doll. She does not have a real nose. She has a plastic nose. Plastic noses cannot smell. Only real noses can smell. You have a real nose. You can smell. That's why you can enjoy the flower, the cookie, and the soap. But your doll cannot. She can only enjoy your love and your care. That's why she is always with you. She is your friend." + +Sara looks at her doll and says, "Doll, is that true? You cannot smell, but you love me?" She kisses her doll's nose and says, "I love you too, doll. You are my friend. I'm sorry I made you smell things you cannot smell. I will teach you other things you can do. Like sing, and dance, and play. Would you like that?" + +Her doll does not say anything. But Sara knows she is happy. She can see it in her eyes. Sara smiles and says, "Come on, doll. Let's go and have some fun. And maybe later, we can share a cookie. You cannot smell it, but you can taste it. Tasting is fun too." She takes her doll by the hand and runs to the living room, where her mom is waiting with a plate of cookies. Sara is happy. She loves to teach her doll. And she loves to learn from her dad. +Lily liked to whistle. She whistled when she woke up, when she played, and when she ate. She whistled so well that everyone knew her as the whistling girl. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big poster of a famous singer. The singer had a shiny dress and a big smile. Lily wanted to be like her. + +"Mom, can I be a famous singer too?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, my dear. You have a beautiful voice. But you need to practice a lot and learn many songs," Mom said. + +Lily nodded. She wanted to practice. She saw a man selling rice near the poster. She ran to him and asked for some rice. + +"Hello, little girl. Do you like rice?" the man asked. + +"Yes, I do. And I like to whistle too. Can I whistle for you?" Lily said. + +"Sure, why not? Let me hear your whistling," the man said. + +Lily took a handful of rice and put it in her mouth. Then she started to whistle. She whistled a happy tune that made the man smile. She whistled so loud that people stopped and looked at her. They clapped and cheered for her. + +Lily was so happy. She felt like a famous singer. She gave the man a hug and thanked him for the rice. Then she ran back to her mom. + +"Mom, did you see? I whistled for everyone. They liked it. I'm a famous singer now," Lily said. + +Mom hugged her and kissed her. "You are, my dear. You are the best whistling girl in the world," Mom said. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys in Tom's room. But Tom's mom says they have to be tidy. She says they have to put the toys back in the box when they are done. + +One day, Tom and Anna find a big bag of candy in Tom's closet. They want to eat the candy. They think it is yummy. But they know Tom's mom will be angry if they eat the candy. She says candy is bad for their teeth and their mouth. + +Tom has an idea. He says to Anna, "Let's make a promise. We can eat some candy, but we have to hide the wrappers. And we have to brush our teeth after. And we have to put the toys back in the box. Then Tom's mom will not know. Do you promise?" + +Anna nods. She says, "I promise." They shake hands. They open the bag of candy. They eat some candy. They hide the wrappers under the bed. They brush their teeth. They put the toys back in the box. They think they are clever. + +But Tom's mom is smarter. She comes to Tom's room. She sees the bag of candy in the closet. She sees the wrappers under the bed. She smells the candy on their breath. She is not happy. She says to Tom and Anna, "You broke your promise. You ate the candy. You lied to me. You are not tidy. You are naughty. You have to say sorry. And you have to clean your room. And you have to give me the candy. No more candy for you." + +Tom and Anna feel bad. They say sorry. They clean their room. They give Tom's mom the candy. They learn their lesson. They do not break their promise again. +Ben was very happy today. He had a new friend to play with. His name was Sam and he lived next door. Ben wanted to introduce Sam to his favorite toy, Mr. Sock. Mr. Sock was a sock puppet that Ben made with his mom. He had two buttons for eyes, a red yarn for a mouth, and a blue hat. + +"Hi, Sam. Do you want to see my toy?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben. What is it?" Sam said. + +"It's Mr. Sock. He is very funny and smart. He can talk and sing and tell jokes. Watch this." Ben said. He put Mr. Sock on his hand and made him wave at Sam. + +"Hello, Sam. I'm Mr. Sock. Nice to meet you." Mr. Sock said in a high voice. + +"Hello, Mr. Sock. You are very cute." Sam said. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are very nice. Do you want to play with me and Ben?" Mr. Sock said. + +"Yes, I do. What can we play?" Sam said. + +"We can play pretend. We can be pirates or astronauts or superheroes. We can use our imagination and have fun." Mr. Sock said. + +"That sounds great. I love to play pretend. Let's go, Ben and Mr. Sock." Sam said. + +"OK, Sam. Let's go. Are you ready, Mr. Sock?" Ben said. + +"I'm always ready, Ben. Let's go, mates. Arrr!" Mr. Sock said. + +Ben and Sam and Mr. Sock ran to the backyard. They had a lot of fun playing pretend. They were very happy. They became good friends. +Ben liked to store his toys in a big box under his bed. He had cars, trains, balls, and books. But his favorite toy was a green frog that could hop and make noise. He named it Hoppy and played with it every day. + +One night, Ben heard a loud thump from under his bed. He was scared and turned on his lamp. He saw Hoppy jumping out of the box and hopping around the room. Ben was happy to see his frog, but he wondered why it was awake. He got out of bed and tried to catch Hoppy. + +But Hoppy was too fast and too smart. He hopped under the table, behind the chair, and on top of the dresser. He made funny noises and teased Ben. Ben chased Hoppy, but he could not catch him. He felt angry and sad. He wanted to play with Hoppy, but Hoppy did not want to play with him. + +Ben started to cry and sat on the floor. He said, "Hoppy, please come back. I love you. You are my best friend. Why are you so mean to me?" He wiped his eyes and looked around. He saw Hoppy sitting on the window sill, looking at him. Hoppy felt sorry for Ben. He realized he was not being nice. He hopped down from the window and went to Ben. He rubbed his head on Ben's leg and made a soft noise. + +Ben smiled and picked up Hoppy. He hugged him and said, "Hoppy, I'm sorry I yelled at you. You are my best friend. But you have to sleep at night. You can't hop around when it's dark. It's not safe. You might get hurt or lost." He put Hoppy back in the box and tucked him in. He said, "Good night, Hoppy. I'll see you in the morning. I love you." He turned off the lamp and went back to bed. He felt happy and sleepy. He closed his eyes and dreamed of Hoppy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the woods. They find a hut made of sticks and leaves. They want to go inside. + +"Can we go in the hut?" Lily asks Tom. + +"I don't know. It looks dangerous," Tom says. + +"Why?" Lily says. + +"Maybe there are animals or bugs or bad people in there," Tom says. + +Lily and Tom look at the hut. They see a hole in the wall. They see a match on the ground. + +"Look, a match!" Lily says. She picks it up. + +"What is a match?" Tom says. + +"It is a thing that makes fire. My dad has some. He uses them to light candles," Lily says. + +"Fire is dangerous. You should not play with matches," Tom says. + +"But I want to see how it works. Maybe we can make a fire in the hut," Lily says. + +"No, Lily, that is a bad idea. The hut can burn and we can get hurt. And the animals and bugs and bad people can get angry. We should leave the match and the hut alone," Tom says. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She does not want to get hurt or make anyone angry. She agrees with Tom. + +"OK, Tom, you are right. Let's go play somewhere else," Lily says. + +She puts the match back on the ground. They leave the hut and the woods. They go to the park and play on the swings. They are happy and safe. +Tom and Jen are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on it. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says. + +"OK, but be careful!"

She falls off the slide. She hurts her arm. She cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Jen says. + +Tom hears her cry. He runs to her. He sees her arm. It is red and swollen. + +"I'm sorry, Jen!" Tom says. "Are you OK?" + +"No, I'm not OK!" Jen says. "You made me twist too much! You are a bad brother!" + +Tom feels sad. He did not mean to make Jen twist too much. He wants to help her. He sees a lemonade stand nearby. He has some coins in his pocket. He goes to the stand. He buys a cup of lemonade. He brings it to Jen. + +"Here, Jen, drink this!" Tom says. "It will make you feel better!" + +Jen takes the cup. She drinks the lemonade. But it is very sour. She makes a face. She spits it out. + +"Yuck, yuck, yuck!" Jen says. "This is the worst lemonade ever! You are a bad brother!" + +Tom feels worse. He did not know the lemonade was sour. He wanted to make Jen happy. He does not know what to do. + +A lady sees them. She is a nurse. She works at the park. She comes to them. She sees Jen's arm. She has a bandage and some ice. She puts the bandage and the ice on Jen's arm. She smiles at them. + +"Hello, children!" the lady says. "What happened?" + +Tom tells her what happened. He says he is sorry. He says he loves Jen. Jen stops crying. She sees Tom's face.

One day, they see a big red truck in the park. It has a loud horn and a shiny ladder. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Tom says. "It is a fire truck. I know what fire trucks do. They help people when there is a fire. They are brave and fast." + +"I want to see the fire truck up close," Sara says. "Maybe we can talk to the firemen. They are nice and strong." + +They run to the fire truck and see two firemen. They are wearing helmets and coats. They smile at Sara and Tom. + +"Hello, kids," one fireman says. "Do you like our fire truck?" + +"Yes, we do," Sara and Tom say. "It is very cool. Can we see the ladder?" + +"Sure, you can," the other fireman says. "But be careful. The ladder is very high. You need to hold on tight." + +He helps Sara and Tom climb the ladder. They feel excited and happy. They can see the whole park and the town from the ladder. + +"Look, Tom, I can see our house!" Sara says. "And I can see the school and the store and the church. Can you see them?" + +"Yes, I can," Tom says. "But I can also see something else. Something funny. Look over there, Sara. Do you see that big dog?" + +Sara looks where Tom is pointing. She sees a big dog. It is brown and furry. It has a long tail and big ears. But it also has something else. It has Tom's hat on its head. The dog found Tom's hat on the ground and put it on. + +"Hey, that's my hat!" Tom says. "That dog took my hat. How did that happen?" + +The firemen hear Tom and look at the dog. They laugh and say, "That's a silly dog. He likes hats. He thinks he is a fireman too." + +Sara laughs too. She thinks the dog is cute and funny. But Tom feels embarrassed. He likes his hat. He does not want the dog to have it. He wants to get his hat back. + +"Please, can you help me get my hat back?" Tom asks the firemen. "I don't want the dog to keep it. It is my favorite hat." + +"Of course, we can," the firemen say. "Don't worry, Tom. We will get your hat back. Come on, let's go down the ladder and talk to the dog." + +They help Tom and Sara go down the ladder. They walk to the dog and say, "Hello, dog. You have a nice hat. But it is not your hat. It is Tom's hat. Can you give it back to him?" + +The dog looks at the firemen and wags his tail. He likes the firemen. He thinks they are his friends. He does not want to make them sad. He takes off the hat and gives it to Tom. + +"Thank you, dog," Tom says. "You are a good dog. But this is my hat. You can have something else. Here, you can have this ball. It is red and bouncy. You can play with it." + +He gives the dog the ball. The dog likes the ball. He takes it and runs away. He is happy and proud. He thinks he is a fireman and a ball player. + +Sara and Tom are happy too. They hug the firemen and say, "Thank you, firemen. You are very kind and helpful. You have a great fire truck. We like you a lot." + +"You are welcome, kids," the firemen say. "You are very brave and polite. You have a great hat and a great ball. We like you a lot too." + +They wave goodbye and drive away. Sara and Tom go back to the park. They play and laugh. They have a good day. They are friends. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. + +"Look at our snowman!" Lily says. "He is so big and nice. What is his name?" + +"His name is Bob," Sam says. "He has a cool style. I like his hat." + +They hear a voice from behind them. It is Tom, the mean boy. He has a snowball in his hand. He throws it at Bob. It hits his hat and knocks it off. + +"Hey!" Lily and Sam shout. "That is not nice! Why did you do that?" + +"Because I can," Tom says. "Your snowman is silly. He has no style. He is just icy and boring." + +Lily and Sam are angry. They pick up some snow and make snowballs. They throw them at Tom. They hit him on his coat and his face. He gets wet and cold. + +"Ow! Stop it!" Tom cries. "That hurts! You are mean!" + +"No, you are mean," Lily and Sam say. "You started it. You should not let us alone. You should not break our snowman. He is our friend." + +Tom runs away. He is sad and sorry. Lily and Sam fix Bob's hat. They hug him and say sorry too. + +"Bob, we love you," they say. "You have a great style. You are not icy and boring. You are fun and warm." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the park. Today is Wednesday. Lily and Ben go to the park with their moms. + +They see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide. She runs to the slide. Ben is slow. He walks to the slide. + +"Wait for me, Lily!" Ben says. + +Lily is at the top of the slide. She sees a red hat on the slide. She picks up the hat. + +"Whose hat is this?" Lily asks. + +Ben is at the bottom of the slide.

What is that?" Sam says. + +"I don't know. Let's find out!" Lily says. + +They run to the tree. They climb up. They find a necklace. It has a heart and a star. It is very pretty. + +"Wow! It is a treasure!" Sam says. + +"Maybe someone lost it. Maybe they are sad," Lily says. + +"Maybe we should give it back. Maybe they will be happy," Sam says. + +"Yes, let's do that. We are loyal friends. We don't take things that are not ours," Lily says. + +They climb down. They look for the owner. They see a girl. She is crying. She has a picture. It has the same necklace. + +"Excuse me, are you looking for this?" Sam says. + +He shows her the necklace. + +The girl stops crying. She smiles. She hugs Sam and Lily. + +"Thank you, thank you!

It was shiny and round. + +"What is it?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Let's discuss it," Anna said. + +They sat down and looked at the green thing. They tried to guess what it was. + +"Maybe it is a ball," Tom said. + +"Maybe it is a jewel," Anna said. + +"Maybe it is a candy," Tom said. + +"Maybe it is a mystery," Anna said. + +They decided to touch it and see. They reached out their hands and touched the green thing. But it was not a ball, a jewel, a candy or a mystery. It was a trap! + +The green thing snapped and closed around their fingers. It hurt a lot. They screamed and cried. They tried to pull their fingers out, but they could not. The green thing was very strong and tight. + +A man came out from behind a tree. He had a big bag and a mean smile. He was the one who set the trap. He wanted to catch children and sell them. + +"Ha ha ha! I got you, you little fools!" he said. "You should not touch things you don't know. Now you are mine!" + +He grabbed Tom and Anna by their arms and dragged them to his bag. He threw them inside and closed it. They were scared and sad.
