They had a big bucket to put their finds in. + +"Look, I found a shiny stone!" Lily said, holding up a pebble. + +"Wow, that's pretty!" Tom said. "Maybe there are more underground." + +They dug deeper and deeper, until they hit something hard. It was a metal box with a lock. + +"What is this?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's a treasure!" Lily said. + +They tried to open the box, but it was too tight. They needed a key. + +"Where can we find a key?" Tom wondered. + +"Maybe in the house. Let's go and ask Mom," Lily suggested. + +They ran to the house, leaving the bucket and the box in the hole. They found Mom in the kitchen, making cookies. + +"Mom, Mom, we found a treasure underground!" they shouted. + +"A treasure? What do you mean?" Mom asked. + +They told her about the box and the lock. Mom smiled and said, "That sounds exciting. But you know what? That box belongs to Grandpa. He buried it there a long time ago, when he was a boy. He told me it has some old toys and photos inside. He gave me the key, in case you ever found it." + +She took out a small key from a drawer and gave it to them. + +"Here you go. You can open the box and see what's inside. But be careful, and don't lose anything. And when you're done, please be tidy and fill the hole back up, OK?" + +"OK, Mom. Thank you!" they said. + +They ran back to the garden, eager to see the treasure. They unlocked the box and opened it. They saw some cars, a doll, a book, and a picture of Grandpa as a boy. They were amazed and happy. + +"Wow, this is so cool!" Tom said. + +"Yeah, Grandpa must have loved these things!" Lily said. + +They played with the toys and looked at the book and the picture. They felt like they had traveled back in time. They wondered what Grandpa was thinking when he buried the box. They decided to ask him later, when he came to visit. + +They had a lot of fun, but they also remembered Mom's words. They put everything back in the box, locked it, and buried it again.

They had balls, cars, dolls, and spears. The spears were not real. They were soft and bendy. They were fun to throw and catch. + +One day, Ben and Mia decided to play a game. They pretended to be hunters and animals. Ben was a hunter. He had a spear. Mia was an animal. She had a tail. They ran around the park, hiding and chasing. + +"Where are you, animal?" Ben shouted. "I will catch you with my spear!" + +"I am here, hunter!" Mia answered. "You cannot catch me with your spear!" + +Ben saw Mia behind a tree. He threw his spear at her. But he missed.

He dropped his book and said, "Ow! What was that?" + +Ben and Mia ran to the bench. They saw the man and the spear. They felt sorry and scared. + +"We are sorry, sir!" Ben said. "We did not mean to hit you with our spear!" + +"We were playing a game!" Mia said. "We did not know you were there!" + +The man looked at Ben and Mia. He looked at the spear. He saw that it was soft and bendy. He smiled and said, "It's okay, kids. I am not hurt. It was just a surprise. You have a nice spear. Can I see it?" + +Ben and Mia gave the man their spear. He held it and said, "This is a good spear. You can play many games with it. But be careful where you throw it. You don't want to hit anyone else, do you?" + +"No, sir!" Ben and Mia said. "We will be careful!" + +The man gave them back their spear. He picked up his book and said, "Have fun, kids. But watch out for other hunters and animals!" + +Ben and Mia thanked the man and said goodbye. They went back to their game. They played with their spear and their tail. They had fun. But they did not throw their spear at anyone else. They learned their lesson. +Tom and Lily liked to play pretend. They had many costumes and toys in their room. One day, they decided to pretend they were opera singers. They put on fancy clothes and hats and used a hairbrush as a microphone. + +They sang very loud and high. They made up words and tunes. They had fun. But their mom did not like their noise. She was working on her laptop in the living room. She had a harsh voice and a big frown. + +"Tom! Lily! Stop that racket! You are giving me a headache!" she shouted. "You are not opera singers, you are just making a mess!" + +Tom and Lily felt sad. They did not want to make their mom angry.

They tiptoed to the living room. They saw their mom still working on her laptop. + +They went behind the couch and twisted the plug. The laptop turned off. Their mom gasped and looked around. She saw Tom and Lily smiling and holding their teddy bears. + +"Mom, we are sorry we made noise. We wanted to sing for you. But we can sing a quiet song now. Do you want to hear it?" they asked. + +Their mom sighed and smiled. She put down her laptop and hugged them. She said she was sorry too. She said she loved their singing, but she needed some quiet time to finish her work. She said she would listen to their quiet song. + +Tom and Lily sang a soft and sweet song. They sang about their mom and how much they loved her. Their mom listened and smiled. She sang along with them. They cuddled on the couch and felt happy. They forgot about the opera and the harsh voice. They only heard the love. +Timmy liked to play hide and seek with his big sister, Anna. She was very good at finding him, but he was also good at hiding. He knew a secret place in the kitchen, where there was a big cupboard with a small door. He could crawl inside and be hidden from Anna. + +One day, they were playing hide and seek again. Anna counted to ten and said, "Ready or not, here I come!" Timmy ran to the kitchen and opened the small door. He crawled inside the cupboard and closed the door behind him. He was very quiet and still. He heard Anna's footsteps in the hall, then in the living room, then in the bedroom. He smiled. She would never find him here. + +But then, he heard a loud noise. It was the door of the big cupboard. Someone was opening it. Timmy was scared. He hoped it was not Anna. He hoped it was Mommy or Daddy. He peeked through a crack and saw a face. It was not Mommy or Daddy. It was a stranger. A man with a mask and a bag. He was looking for something to take. He saw Timmy. + +"Hey, what are you doing here?" the man said. He grabbed Timmy by the arm and pulled him out of the cupboard. Timmy screamed. He wanted Anna. He wanted Mommy. He wanted Daddy. He wanted to be hidden. + +"Shut up, kid!" the man said. He put his hand over Timmy's mouth. He looked around. He saw a phone on the counter. He picked it up and dialed a number. He said, "I found something in the kitchen. A kid. What should I do with him?" + +Timmy heard another voice on the phone. It was Anna. She said, "Let him go, or I'll call the police. I saw you from the window. I have your picture. I have your license plate. You have no choice. Surrender." + +The man dropped the phone. He looked at Timmy. He looked at the window. He looked at the door. He was trapped. He was scared. He let go of Timmy and said, "OK, OK, you win. I surrender. Don't call the police. Please." + +Timmy ran to the door. He opened it and saw Anna. She hugged him and said, "You're safe, Timmy. You're brave. I'm sorry I couldn't find you sooner. I love you." + +Timmy hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Anna. You're smart. You're strong. You saved me." +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big sandbox, a swing, and a slide. They also had a small rose bush that their mom had planted for them. The rose bush had red and pink flowers that smelled nice. + +One day, Ben and Lily decided to spend the afternoon in the garden. They took their shovels and buckets and made a big castle in the sandbox. They put some shells and stones on the castle to make it look pretty. Then they took turns on the swing and the slide. They had a lot of fun. + +"Look, Lily, the rose bush has a new flower!" Ben said, pointing to a big red rose that had bloomed. "It's so pretty! Can we pick it and give it to mom?" + +Lily nodded. She loved her mom and wanted to make her happy. They walked over to the rose bush and reached for the flower. But as they touched the stem, they felt something sharp and prickly. + +"Ow!" Ben and Lily cried, pulling back their hands. They saw some drops of blood on their fingers. They had been stung by the thorns. + +The rose bush was tough. It did not want to give away its flower. It wanted to keep it for itself. + +Ben and Lily ran to their mom, who was sitting on the porch. They showed her their fingers and told her what happened. + +"Oh, you poor things!" mom said, hugging them. She took them inside and washed their fingers. She put some cream and a band-aid on each wound. She kissed them and said, "You are very brave and sweet to want to give me a rose. But you don't have to. I love you just the way you are." + +Ben and Lily smiled. They felt better. They hugged their mom and said, "We love you too, mom. You are the best." + +They went back to the garden and played some more. They did not touch the rose bush again. They knew it was tough. But they also knew it was beautiful. And they were happy to share the garden with it. +Tim and Sue like to play near the river. They look for pebbles of different colors and shapes. They make piles of pebbles and pretend they are treasure. + +One day, they see a big duck on the water. The duck is brown and white and has a long neck. Tim and Sue want to feed the duck. They think the duck will like their pebbles. + +"Hello, duck!" Tim says. "We have some food for you. Do you want some pebbles?" + +The duck swims closer to the shore. Tim and Sue are happy. They pick up some pebbles and throw them to the duck. The duck opens its mouth and catches the pebbles. + +"Thank you, children!" the duck says. "You are very kind. You supply me with good food. I am grateful to you." + +Tim and Sue are surprised. They did not know the duck can talk. They feel proud. They throw more pebbles to the duck. + +But the duck is not really grateful. The duck is greedy. The duck wants all the pebbles. The duck does not like to share. The duck has a plan. + +The duck pretends to be friendly. The duck says, "Children, you are so nice. Can you come closer to me? I want to give you a hug." + +Tim and Sue trust the duck. They walk to the edge of the water. They want to hug the duck. + +But the duck is not nice. The duck is mean. The duck grabs Tim and Sue with its beak and pulls them into the water. The duck wants to eat them. + +Tim and Sue scream. They are scared. They try to get away. But the duck is strong. The duck is hungry. The duck does not care. + +The duck eats Tim and Sue. The duck is full. The duck is happy. The duck has all the pebbles. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But then Tom fell down and hurt his leg. He cried and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! My leg hurts!" he complained. + +Lily ran to him and tried to help. She said, "Don't cry, Tom. It's okay. Let me see your leg." + +She looked at his leg and saw a small cut. She said, "It's not a big hurt. Just a little one. You need a band-aid." + +She took out a band-aid from her pocket and put it on his leg. She said, "There. Now you are better. Can you stand up?" + +Tom stopped crying and tried to stand up. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. And a good doctor." + +Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a brave boy. And a patient one." + +They hugged and then went back to playing. They had fun in the park. They forgot about the hurt leg. They were happy. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to slide down the hill on their sleds. + +"Let's go, Sara!" Tom says. He pulls his sled and runs to the hill. + +"Wait, Tom!" Sara says. She follows him with her sled. "Mom said we have to stay close to the house." + +Tom does not listen. He climbs up the hill and sits on his sled. He pushes himself and slides down very fast. He laughs and shouts. "Whee! This is fun!" + +Sara reaches the top of the hill. She sees Tom at the bottom. She also sees a big road with many cars. The road is icy and slippery. Sara is scared. She thinks Tom is in danger. + +"Tom, come back!" Sara yells. "The road is bad. You have to wander away from the road." + +Tom hears Sara. He tries to get up and pull his sled. But the road is too icy. He slides and falls. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Sara slides down the hill on her sled. She is careful and slow. She reaches Tom and hugs him. She helps him stand up and walk. She holds his sled and her sled. + +"I'm sorry, Sara," Tom says. "I was silly. I should have waited for you. And I should have listened to Mom." + +"It's okay, Tom," Sara says. "I'm glad you are not hurt badly. Let's go back to the house. Mom will make us hot chocolate and cookies." + +They wander back to the house. They are cold and wet. But they are happy. They learned a lesson. They will not go to the big hill again. They will stay close to the house and play safely. +Lily and Tom were playing in the field. They saw some sheep eating grass. The sheep were white and fluffy. Lily liked the sheep. She wanted to pet them. + +"Can we go to the sheep, Tom?" Lily asked. + +Tom nodded. He liked the sheep too. He held Lily's hand and they walked to the sheep. The sheep looked at them and made noises. "Baa, baa," they said. + +Lily and Tom smiled. They reached out their hands to touch the sheep. The sheep were soft and warm. Lily and Tom felt happy. + +But then they saw something. It was a huge sheep. It was bigger than the other sheep. It had long horns and a black face. It looked angry. It ran towards Lily and Tom. It made a loud noise. "Baa, baa," it said. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They let go of the sheep and ran away. They ran back to their mom and dad. They hugged them and told them what happened. + +"It's okay, Lily and Tom," their mom said. "That was a ram. He was protecting his sheep. He didn't want you to bother them." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They understood. They were sorry for making the ram mad. They decided to play somewhere else. They still liked the sheep, but they did not want to pet them anymore. They learned to be careful around animals. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they also liked to complain. They complained when they had to share their toys, when they had to eat their vegetables, when they had to go to bed. + +One day, their mom said, "I have a surprise for you. I bought you a new game. It is in the cupboard. You can play with it after you finish your homework." + +Lily and Ben were very happy. They ran to the cupboard and opened it. But they saw only one game, not two. They both wanted to play with it first. + +"It is mine!" Lily said. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben said. + +They started to pull the game and shout at each other. They complained that it was not fair, that they wanted their own game, that they did not want to wait. + +Their mom heard them and came to the cupboard. She saw them fighting and said, "Stop it, both of you. This is not how you treat a gift. This is a great game that you can play together and have fun. But if you keep complaining and arguing, you will not play with it at all. I will take it away and give it to someone who is more grateful and kind." + +Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They realized that they were being selfish and rude. They said sorry to their mom and to each other. They decided to share the game and take turns. They thanked their mom for the surprise and hugged her. + +They played with the game and had a lot of fun. They learned that complaining does not make them happy, but sharing and being thankful does. They also learned that playing together is more fun than playing alone. They were glad that they had a great mom and a great twin. +Lily wanted to wear a colorful costume for the party. She liked the costume of a fairy with wings and a wand. She asked her mom to buy it for her. + +"Mom, can I have this costume, please?" Lily said, pointing to the fairy costume on the shelf. + +"Sorry, Lily, but that costume is too expensive. We can't afford it right now. Why don't you choose another one?" Mom said, looking at the price tag. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She didn't want another costume. She wanted to be a fairy. She stomped her feet and cried. + +"Mom, I want this costume! I want this costume!" Lily shouted, making a big fuss. + +Mom tried to calm Lily down, but Lily wouldn't listen. She kept crying and pointing to the fairy costume. Other people in the store looked at them and shook their heads. + +Then, Lily saw something that made her stop crying. She saw a girl wearing the same fairy costume that she wanted. The girl was smiling and waving her wand. She looked very happy and pretty. + +Lily felt a pang of jealousy. She wished she had that costume. She wished she was that girl. She ran towards the girl, hoping to touch her wings and wand. + +But the girl didn't like that. She didn't like a stranger coming near her. She didn't like Lily trying to grab her costume. She pushed Lily away and yelled. + +"Hey, leave me alone! This is my costume! Go away!" The girl said, frowning and scowling. + +Lily fell to the floor and hurt her knee. She started to cry again, louder than before. Mom came to pick her up and hug her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, but you can't do that. You can't take someone else's costume. That's not nice. That's not fair. You have to say sorry to the girl." Mom said, wiping Lily's tears. + +Lily looked at the girl, who was still angry and upset. She felt sorry for what she did. She realized that she was wrong. She whispered a soft sorry to the girl. + +The girl heard Lily's sorry and softened her face. She realized that Lily was just a little kid who wanted to be a fairy. She felt sorry for making her cry. She smiled and said a soft sorry to Lily. + +Then, the girl did something that surprised Lily. She took off her wand and gave it to Lily. + +"Here, you can have this. It's a magic wand. You can pretend to be a fairy with it. Just don't touch my wings, okay?" The girl said, handing Lily the wand. + +Lily couldn't believe it. She was so happy and grateful. She thanked the girl and hugged her. She held the wand and waved it in the air. She felt like a fairy. + +Mom smiled and thanked the girl and her mom. She was proud of Lily for saying sorry and making a new friend. She was glad that the girl was kind and generous. She was happy that Lily got to be a fairy. + +The end. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their vehicles. They had cars, trucks, buses and trains. They made roads and tracks on the floor and pretended to drive and ride them. Sometimes they shared their vehicles, and sometimes they fought over them. + +One day, Ben found a new vehicle in his toy box. It was a big red fire truck with a ladder and a siren. He was very happy and wanted to play with it right away. He showed it to Lily and said, "Look at my fire truck! It is the best vehicle ever!" + +Lily looked at the fire truck and felt jealous. She wanted to play with it too. She asked Ben, "Can I play with your fire truck? Please, Ben, please!" + +Ben shook his head and said, "No, Lily, no! This is my fire truck. You can't play with it. You have your own vehicles. Go away!" + +Lily felt sad and angry. She thought Ben was mean and selfish. She decided to take the fire truck from him. She waited until Ben was busy with something else, and then she grabbed the fire truck and ran away. + +Ben saw Lily running away with his fire truck and shouted, "Hey, Lily, stop! Give me back my fire truck! That's not fair!" + +He chased after her, but Lily was faster. She ran to the kitchen, where their mom was baking a cake. She saw the cake on the table and thought it looked sweet and yummy. She wanted to have a bite. She put the fire truck on the table and reached for the cake. + +But she was not careful. She knocked over the fire truck, and it fell on the floor. The ladder broke, and the siren stopped working. The fire truck was ruined. + +Lily heard a loud crash and a sad beep. She looked at the fire truck and saw what she had done. She felt sorry and scared. She knew Ben would be very mad at her. + +She heard Ben coming into the kitchen. He saw the fire truck on the floor and his eyes filled with tears. He cried, "Lily, what did you do? You broke my fire truck! You are a bad sister! I hate you!" + +He ran to the fire truck and picked it up. He tried to fix it, but it was too late. The fire truck was broken for good. + +Lily wanted to say sorry, but Ben did not want to hear her. He pushed her away and ran to his room. He slammed the door and locked it. + +Lily felt alone and sad. She wished she had not taken the fire truck. She wished she had shared with Ben. She wished they could play together again. + +She looked at the cake and felt sick. She did not want any cake. She wanted her brother. + +She went to his door and knocked. She said, "Ben, please, can we talk? I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry!" + +But Ben did not answer. He did not open the door. He did not forgive her. + +The end. +Tim was a lawyer who worked very hard. He had many papers and books on his desk. He did not have time to play or smile. He was always busy and gloomy. + +One day, his son Tom came to visit him at his office. Tom was three years old and liked to have fun. He saw a big chair with wheels in front of Tim's desk. He climbed on it and started to spin. He laughed and shouted, "Whee! This is fun!" + +Tim looked up from his papers and frowned. He said, "Tom, stop that! You are making a mess and a noise. This is not a place to play. This is a place to work." + +Tom stopped spinning and looked at his father. He said, "But Daddy, why are you always working? Don't you want to play with me? Don't you want to be happy?" + +Tim felt a pang in his heart. He realized that he had been neglecting his son and his own joy. He said, "You are right, Tom. I have been working too much and forgetting to have fun. I'm sorry. Come here, let me hug you." + +He got up from his desk and hugged his son. He said, "I love you, Tom. You are more important than any papers or books. Let's go home and play together. And maybe we can spin on the chair a little bit." + +Tom smiled and hugged his father back. He said, "I love you too, Daddy. You are the best lawyer and the best father. Thank you for playing with me." + +They left the office and went home. Tim felt happier and lighter than he had in a long time. He learned that he should not let his work take over his life. He learned that he should spend more time with his son and enjoy the simple things. He learned that spinning on a chair can be fun. +Once upon a time, there was a wet cat who was in trouble. The cat was stuck in a big, deep pond and he could not swim. He was very scared, and his meow was terrible. + +Suddenly, he saw a boy walking by! The boy saw the cat and he knew he had to save him.

When they opened the box, they found many strange things inside. It was filled with bottles, toys, and books! Joe and Jim took turns taking things out of the box. + +Finally, Joe and Jim decided to share the things in the box with everybody. They would carry things around and serve everyone. This was their way of showing everyone how much they care. + +Every day Joe and Jim would take turns serving people from the box. They were very happy to be able to give to others and show their love. + +In the end, Joe and Jim learned that serving others is the best way to show love. Through serving each other, they grew even closer as brothers. +Once upon a time, a little girl called Mary travelled to a faraway land. She was very excited as she had never been there before. On her journey, she made a new friend. His name was Jack. + +Jack was very nosy and asked lots of questions about Mary's life. Mary liked to answer, as she found him very funny. + +They travelled in Mary's boat and saw lots of things together. Every day, Mary and Jack explored a new land.

Then he spotted his dad's car, and he felt a little better. + +Suddenly, his dad appeared, and his face lit up. His dad had a huge smile on his face and his eyes sparkled. He ran towards his dad and hugged him tightly. His dad chuckled and told him it was time to go exploring. + +Jimmy felt his feet un-freeze and they started walking along the path. His dad pointed out different things like bugs and flowers, and soon Jimmy forgot about his worries. + +At lunch, Jimmy's stomach stopped growling and he said he felt like the luckyest boy alive.

The pig was very dirty because it was rolling around in the mud. One day the pig decided to leave. So it went walking along the road. + +The pig kept walking and walking until it came to a river.

The neighbour was angry and said he would have to punish Billy for being so naughty. + +Billy was so upset and he was very sorry for what he had done. Unfortunately, the punishment was too strong. Billy was sent to bed without his dinner. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Lila. She was three years old and she loved to dance. Every day, she would go to her garden, put on her favourite music and dance until the sun went down. + +One day, she was dancing in her garden when she saw something mysterious in the sky. It was a sandwich floating in the air! Lila thought it was amazing, so she stopped dancing and began watching the sandwich carefully. + +"That looks yummy," she thought to herself. + +Although she was very curious, she was also a bit scared. Just then, an angel appeared in the sky and said, "Go ahead and take the sandwich, Lila. I made it for you." + +Lila smiled and said, "Thank you!" She reached up and grabbed the sandwich, feeling very happy. + +She took a big bite and it tasted delicious. She began dancing and eating the sandwich at the same time, twirling around and laughing. From that day onward, Lila and the angel danced together in the sky every single day. +Once upon a time there was a boy and a girl. They were fixing a toy car together. The buckle of the car was broken, so they tried to repair it. + +The girl asked the boy to do it. "I think you can repair the buckle better than me," she said. + +The boy was so excited. He took the buckle and put it over the hot fire. He wanted to melt it and make it new. + +But oh, no! The buckle had burned down. + +The boy and the girl were very sad. Now the car could not be fixed. + +The moral of the story is, be careful not to repair things with hot fire. You should always use the proper tools. +Once upon a time there was a boy named Jake. Jake was only three, but he was very eager to learn. Today was a very special day for Jake, for he was going to school for the first time ever! He was so excited as he skipped towards the school building. + +Once inside, he couldn't help but marvel at the classrooms and the shiny whiteboard. Jake raised his hand when his teacher asked a question, eager to show off his knowledge. + +Jake had so many questions: What do numbers look like? What do books smell like? + +The teacher smiled. She told him that he would answer each and every one of his questions, and he would have lots of fun doing it. + +So, with a skip in his step, Jake set off to start his very first day at school. He was ready to learn and explore a new world. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Emily. She loved anything and everything that was shiny and sparkly. Every day she would go to the park and search for shiny pennies on the ground. + +One day, Emily was walking around the park and stumbled upon something special. It was a shiny penny! She was so excited, she grabbed it and started to skip around in circles. + +Emily went to show her mom the penny she had found. “Look Mom! I found this penny!†she said, proudly. + +Her mom smiled. “Very nice, honey. You should add it to your piggy bank.†she said. + +Emily got a bucket full of pennies after a few weeks. She was feeling rich now. She wanted to show her friends. She ran to their houses and told them the news. + +“I have so many pennies in my bucket! I’m rich!†she said excitedly. + +Her friends were happy to hear the news and they all ran around the park together. Emily was so glad that she was able to add so many pennies to her piggy bank! +Kim was a brave little monkey. She always wanted to do big things and was never afraid to try new things. One day she woke up and had an exciting plan; a fashion sack! All of her friends were amazed when she explained her plan. Kim went to the store and found a big sack with beautiful colors. + +Back at home, Kim started to fill the sack with all kinds of fashionable items. She collected fancy clothes, colorful jewelry and pretty shoes. + +But when she was finished, a problem arose. Kim's mom said that the sack was too heavy to carry. Kim didn't want to leave her sack behind, but she was also scared to lug it all the way to the next town. + +"Do not give up," her mom said. "Be brave and don't be afraid of the challenge. You can do it! Let's put it on your back and you will be able to carry it." + +Kim was a bit scared at first, but she knew her mom was right and decided to try it. She took a deep breath, put the sack on her shoulders, and started her journey. Everyone was amazed to see a little monkey carrying the heavy sack. At the end of the day, Kim was so proud for being brave and for finishing her journey, with the fashionable sack still on her shoulders. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She was only 3 years old and didn't know much, but had a lot of dreams. She was always designing things in her head. + +One day, she decided to do something really special and came up with the idea to design her own mattress. But sadly, she was too little and too helpless to do it all by herself. + +So she went to her dad and asked "Can you help me?" Her dad smiled and said "Of course, I can help you". + +So with dad's help, the little girl had all the materials she needed. She began to design her mattress. Little by little the design was taking form and when it was finished it was the most beautiful mattress ever. She was very proud of herself and from that day forward, she always remembered that she could do anything if she set her mind to it. +Once there was a farmer who wanted to find something hidden in the forest. He packed his bag and went off searching. The farmer hiked all day and could not find anything. He started to feel discouraged. + +Suddenly, he heard a noise. "Who's there?" He asked. "It's me," said a voice from behind a bush. He stepped closer and saw a little fox. + +"What are you doing here?" asked the farmer. "I'm looking for something special. Do you know where I can find it?" + +The fox twitched its ears and said, "Yes, I do. Come with me and I will show you." + +The Farmer followed the fox deep into the forest. Eventually, they came to an old log covered in moss. The fox scurried to the side of the log and bowed his head. The farmer was amazed to find a secret box hidden nearby. + +The fox said, "This is what you have been searching for! Receive it with gratitude.†The farmer opened the box and was delighted to find a beautiful necklace inside. He thanked the fox and went on his way. +Once there was a little girl in a big park. It was night time, and the stars were glowing in the sky. The little girl was so amazed. She pointed to one of the stars, and asked her dad "Why does it glow?" +Her dad laughed and said, "It's because it's so special." He tickled her nose, and she giggled. + +"What else glows?" the little girl asked with a smile. + +Her dad thought for a moment and then said, "Mmm... pumpkins!" +The little girl's eyes lit up. She had never seen a glowing pumpkin before. + +So the little girl and her dad went looking for a pumpkin to glow. They searched the big park and finally found what they were looking for. They took it back home and carved it into a silly face. When they were done, they put a candle inside the pumpkin and it glowed! + +The little girl was so happy to see the pumpkin glow. She said, "Look! Our pumpkin is glowing, just like the stars!" +One day, a little girl named Sue went outside and saw a white grape on the ground. She grabbed it, and was so excited that she ran back home to show her mum. + +Mum said, "Ah, you found a grape! What a nice surprise!" + +Sue smiled, and gave her mum a big hug. Then she popped the grape in her mouth. It tasted juicy and sweet. + +Mum said, "Yum, that's a really tasty grape! Why don't you go outside and see if you can find any more? They are usually white!" + +Sue nodded, and ran outside. She looked all around, and sure enough, she spotted another white grape! She grabbed it, and ran back inside to show her mum. + +Mum gave her another hug, and said, "Well done, Sue! White grapes are delicious. Let's go and find some more together!" + +So, Sue and Mum went off to find some more white grapes, picking them off the ground and giving each other hugs for every one they found. +Once upon a time there was an angry sack. He was always mad, but didn't know why. One day he decided to find out why. He wanted to attach himself to a tree. So he went to the same tree every day and tried to attach himself. + +One day a kind old woman saw him and asked what he was doing. He replied that he was trying to attach to the tree. She said that he should attach to something more special. + +So the next day he went to the park and found a swing. He thought the swing would make him happy. He slowly attached himself to the swing and slowly started to swing. And as he was swinging he started to feel better, and then the sack was no longer angry! +One day, two brothers Jack and Joe were playing in the park together. Suddenly, Jack spotted a tall ladder near the edge of the park. + +"Let's go climb it Brother!" Jack insisted. + +Joe shook his head. "It's too dangerous!" he said. + +But Jack didn't listen and started climbing anyway. Joe quickly followed him up the ladder. + +When they reached the top, they noticed a big mound of salt. + +"Look! Salt!" Jack said excitedly. Joe disagreed and said that it was dangerous. + +"No! It's only salt. Let's touch it." + +Joe thought for a moment, before finally deciding to let Jack touch the salt. + +Jack touched it and jumped back. "Salt is really salty!" he exclaimed + +Joe nodded in agreement and said, "see, now you know why I said it was dangerous. But I'm glad you decided to touch it." +Once upon a time there was a small girl named Janie. She loved to explore and adventure, but one day something strange happened. Janie was walking in the woods and found something peculiar - a soft pole. She was about to touch it when a voice shouted, “No! Don’t touch that!â€. + +Startled, Janie looked all around, but the voice seemed to be coming from the pole itself. + +“I am the kind tree, and I am here to tell you a story,†the pole said. “If you fill the forest with kindness, all of your troubles will be forgotten.†+ +Janie thought about it for a moment. She knew the kind tree was right, so she decided to start doing nice things for all of the other animals in the forest. She filled the forest with small acts of kindness and was surprised to see how quickly the kindness spread! + +Janie learned a valuable lesson from the kind tree - if you fill the world with kindness, it will fill your heart with joy. +Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Tom. He wanted a new shoe, so he asked his mom to send him one. + +“Mom, can you send me a new shoe please?†he asked. + +“Oh, I won’t be able to send a new shoe, Tom. But I can take you to the shoe store to pick one out,†his mom answered. + +“Yay!†Tom said with a smile. + +So, his mom took him to the shoe store and he chose the most beautiful and youngest shoe they had. He put it on his foot, and it fit perfectly. + +Tom was so excited to have a new, young shoe. He thanked his mom and ran off happily. + +The end. +Mum was very busy. She was trying to repair the old blue chair. She had a spanner in one hand and a screwdriver in the other. + +John, her 3-year-old son, asked, "Mummy, what are you doing?" + +Mum replied, "I am repairing the blue chair, sweetheart. That way we can all sit on it together." + +John smiled and said, "I'm hungry. Can I have lunch?" + +Mum put down her tools and said, "Yes, of course! Let's go and have some lunch." + +John and Mum went to the kitchen and ate their lunch together. They talked and laughed the whole time. When they had finished, Mum gave John a big hug and said, "That was yummy lunch! Now I think it's time to go back and repair the blue chair." + +John helped Mum carry the tools back to the blue chair and Mum finished repairing it. They both sat down on the chair together and hugged. + +John said, "I'm glad you repaired the blue chair, Mummy. Now we can sit on it together." + +Mum smiled and said, "Me too, sweetheart. Me too." +One day, a little girl named Daisy was walking through the forest. She loved to explore and to imagine all the things she could see. Suddenly, she spotted a big cobweb in a nearby tree, and it made her so excited! + +“Wow, this is great!†said Daisy. + +Then, Daisy started to climb the tree and try to touch the cobweb. As soon as she was close enough, an ugly spider crawled out of the cobweb! Daisy screamed and lost her balance, falling out of the tree and onto the ground. + +When Daisy was back on the ground she was so scared that she ran away, never wanting to go back to the forest. + +So remember, always be careful when you imagine and explore. That cobweb wasn’t so great after all! +Toby and his mommy had a fun day at the safari. They saw lots of animals, big and small. Toby saw a delicate butterfly fluttering around. He wanted to follow it, but his mommy said no. Toby spread his arms trying to fly away like the butterfly. + +Mommy said, "You can't fly away like that, Toby, but let's look around more." + +Toby wanted to spread his wings and follow the butterfly, but his mommy said it was time to go home. Toby sadly followed his mommy. As they walked, Toby didn't notice the deep hole in front of him and he fell in, screaming. + +Mommy ran over to try and help him, but it was too late. Toby was already too deep inside the hole and the sides were too delicate to dig around. Toby was gone and Mommy cried and cried. +Molly was very excited. Today was the day that she and her mom were going to bake a cake together. They got all the ingredients ready and put them in the bowl. Molly stirred the mix with a spoon and added sugar. Next, they put the mix in the oven and waited. + +Soon, the smell of baking cake filled the room. Then, a strange noise came from outside. It was a mosquito! But Molly was not scared. She opened the window wide and saw a clear blue sky. + +The mosquito flew away and the cake was ready. Molly and her mom iced it and ate the delicious treat. It was the best thing Molly had ever eaten. She was glad she and her mom could bake the cake together. +Once upon a time, there were two brothers. One brother was very adventurous and the other brother was a little bit timid. One day, the adventurous brother wanted to try something new. He found an old radio, and he wanted to reach out and try to hear something special. + +The timid brother was scared and he said, "You can't do that, it's too dangerous. What if you hear something bad?" The adventurous brother didn't let his fear stop him, and he reached for the radio anyways. + +Suddenly, the timid brother heard a deep and beautiful voice come from the radio. He listened in amazement, and the adventurous brother smiled. + +The moral of the story is that even though it can be scary to try something new, sometimes taking a risk comes with great rewards. If you don't take risks, you won't know what exciting things could come your way. +Once upon a time there was a famous baker. He loved to make treats and pastries. But there was one recipe he couldn't make - the jewel cake. He had all the ingredients, but the recipe itself was missing. + +One day, a little 3 year old girl named Susie came to the baker's shop with her mom. She saw the baker's sad face and asked him, "What's wrong?" + +The baker told her about the recipe. Susie took out a box from her pocket and said, "Maybe this will help." + +The baker opened the box and inside he found the missing recipe for the jewel cake! He thanked the little girl and hugged her tightly. + +He set to work and soon the delicious jewel cake was baking in the oven. When it was done, the baker cut it into many pieces and shared it with Susie and her mom. They all clapped as they tasted the cake. + +The little girl was so proud of her help. She was now a famous baker! +One day, there was a very impatient little girl named Marie. She wanted a toy magnet. Her mom said that she could get one if a delivery man came. + +Marie went to the window and started to look out to see if the delivery man was there. Suddenly, she saw something coming! She was so excited! + +The delivery man arrived and gave Marie a box. When she opened it, there was a big magnet inside! + +Marie took the magnet and said to the delivery man, “Thank you for the magnet! I love it!†+ +The delivery man smiled and said, “You are welcome.†Then he delivered more boxes to other homes. Marie went and showed her magnet to her family, and they all smiled. She was so happy! +Molly and her dad were walking in the park one day. Suddenly, Daddy stopped and pointed to the ground. "Look, Molly!" he said. "It's a big jazz band!" +Molly was excited. She could see the band playing their instruments for everyone. She wanted to go closer, but Daddy said no. + +"Daddy, why not?" asked Molly. Daddy explained, "Those musicians are poor. We can listen from here, but we should not go closer and make them feel uncomfortable." + +Molly understood. She looked at the band with admiration and realized how hard it must be for them to share their music with no appreciation or reward. + +Molly's dad tapped her head and said, "Always remember, Molly, that it's important to treat all people with kindness, no matter how poor they are, or how rich." +Molly nodded. She knew that this was a very important lesson and one she would never forget. +One sunny day, a bald boy named Jim was playing outside his hut. Suddenly, he heard a voice calling out to him. It was his best friend, Jack. + +"Jim! Join me," said Jack. "I'm building a fort!" +Jim ran over to join Jack. Quickly they set to work, gathering sticks and stones to make the walls. They worked together until the fort was finished. + +Suddenly, Jim heard another voice. It was Sara, his neighbour. +"What's this?" said Sara. "I thought I was supposed to join in the fun!" +Jim and Jack looked at each other and said nothing. + +"It's not fair!" said Sara. "You've built a hut and left me out, now I'm going to build a much bigger fort!" + +Jim and Jack didn't want to let Sara join in, but when she started building her fort, they both felt bad. "Come join us," said Jim. Sara smiled, and soon the three of them were working together to build a bigger and better fort. + +In the end, Jim, Jack and Sara had a great time, building a wonderful fort and having lots of fun. From that day on, the three of them were always friends! +Sam and Molly were walking along the beach. All they could see was the ocean, stretching as far as they could see. They saw a sandy path leading away from the beach. + +"Let's follow it," said Molly. + +So they started walking down the sandy path, until they came across a big ant hill. Sam saw a small ant crawling and he tried to pinch it. + +Molly yelled, "Not nice, Sam! That's mean!" + +Sam was sorry. He didn't want to make his friend mad. + +Then Molly saw a small crab scurrying in the sand. Molly picked it up and said, "Look Sam, it's so cute!" + +Sam tried to pinch it, making the crab scuttle away quickly. + +Molly was mad. She shouted, "Why did you pinch it? That's not nice!" + +Sam felt bad and said he was sorry. + +Molly smiled. "It's ok, Sam. But don't pinch anymore things, okay?" + +Sam nodded and they both went back to the beach and looked out at the vast ocean. +Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Sam. Sam wanted to make light in her room at night when it was dark, but she didn't have a lamp. + +One day, Sam's mom took her to the store and told her that she could buy a new lamp if she was very persistent. Sam was very excited and she was sure that she could be persistent. + +So Sam asked her mom to let her buy the lamp. After her mom said yes, Sam went to the store, looked around and finally found the perfect lamp. But it was much more expensive than the others. Sam took a deep breath and told the shopkeeper she wanted it anyway. + +The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That proves you are persistent. I'm so proud of you." Sam paid for the lamp and was very happy. + +Sam learned an important lesson that day. She realized that if she was persistent, she could get what she wanted. Persistence is an important tool to have in life. +Once upon a time there were two friends, Jack and Jill. They were each very brave and loved to explore their environment. One day Jack and Jill decided to go on an adventure through the forest. + +Jill noticed a strange old tree and peered around it curiously. Suddenly, two eyes peeked out from behind the tree. It was the old witch of the forest, who had been watching them. She croaked, "If you can guess my name, I'll give you both a grand reward". + +Jack and Jill began to guess, but nothing seemed to satisfy the witch. Then, Jack had an idea. He stepped forward and said, "I know your name is Butter." The witch clucked with pleasure and said, "You are correct! As a reward, I will give you each a pinch of magical butter." + +Jack and Jill were both fearful, but the witch instructed them to close their eyes and reach out their hands. And sure enough, when they opened their eyes, Jack and Jill both found a warm, delicious pinch of butter in their hands. + +They both thanked the witch and ran off, laughing and spilling butter as they went through the forest. From that day onward, Jack and Jill never feared the forest again! +One sunny day, Zack and his mommy were walking in the park when Zack saw a beautiful peach tree loaded with peaches. He skipped over to the tree, filled with excitement and called out, “Mommy, look at all the peaches! Can I eat one?†+ +Mommy smiled and said, “No, not now, Zack. But if you are good and help me around the house this week, I will pay you with a peach.†She winked playfully and added, “Then you can have one.†+ +Zack beamed and clapped his hands. He happily helped Mommy with chores all week, and at the end of the week, Mommy said good-naturedly, “You were very silly (but helpful!), Zack. Let’s go get you a peach for all your hard work!†+ +So Zack and Mommy went back to the peach tree and Mommy rewarded Zack with a big, juicy peach. He squealed with delight as they walked away, munching on the juicy peach. Zack now knew that if he was helpful and good, he’d get paid with a yummy peach! +Once upon a time, there was a man. His name was Jack. Everyday Jack liked to take walks in the woods behind his house. + +Today, Jack thought he heard a noise in the woods. He followed the noise and soon came across a small frog. + +Jack spoke to the frog, "Hello, frog. What's your name?" The frog looked at Jack with big eyes and said, "I'm Tadpole. What's your name?" + +Jack was excited to have a new friend. "I'm Jack," he said. Tadpole smiled. "You look different than most people I've seen in the woods," he said. + +Jack smiled. "Yes, I am different. That's why my name is so special." + +Tadpole smiled again. "That is special!" he said, hopping away. + +Jack waved goodbye. He had found a new friend. Jack smiled and kept walking in the woods. +Once upon a time, there was an intelligent man who had a problem. He had too much pain in his body. He decided to try something new, so he decided to fold his body into funny shapes. He folded and bent until the pain began to go away. The man felt better and better as he continued to fold. Finally, the pain was gone and the man was very happy. He thanked himself for being so intelligent and creative. From that day on, the man folded whenever he felt pain in his body and it helped him feel better every time. +Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved to dream. Every day she would draw a curtain around her bed and imagine that she was soaring high into the sky. Then one day she got an idea that she could fly for real. + +The little girl approached her mom and said, "Mom, I want to fly in the sky!" Her mom replied, "Not today sweetheart." But the little girl was determined and begged her mom until she agreed. + +So her mother took her to a very high hill. The little girl was so excited to fly, she ran up the hill and spread her arms out wide. But when she leaped up into the sky, she lost balance and tumbled down the hill. + +The little girl was badly hurt and had to go to the hospital. Her mom held her tightly and said, "Dreams can’t always come true, no matter how high the curtain.†+John met a friend, Sue, in the park. He asked her, "Have you seen my key?" +Sue smiled and replied, "Yes, I know where it is." +They searched the park and eventually found the key under some bushes. John was relieved, but he said, "It's a good thing you are very obedient and helped me to find it!" +Sue smiled, happy that she had been able to help. +John thanked Sue and promised to be more careful with his keys in the future. +"Thank you for being so obedient," said John. +Sue laughed, "You should never lose something so important!" +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Marie. Marie was three years old and she was scared of the dark. + +One day, Marie was playing in the park with her favourite toy - a pole. She lay down on the grass and started playing with it when she heard a noise. It was a strange noise - like someone whispering. Marie was scared. + +Marie’s mom was very close by and heard the noise too. She asked Marie what had happened. Marie said “Mommy, it was a monster!†Her mom smiled and said “Don’t be scared Marie, monsters aren’t real.†+ +Marie looked around and she saw that the noise was coming from a pole that was lying next to her. She laughed and said “No mommy, it was just the pole.†Marie wasn’t so scared anymore and went back to playing with her pole. +One day, Jack saw something fun at the store. It was a hook! He thought it would be great to have one. But when he picked it up he started to get scared. + +He asked his mom why he was scared. She said it was because the hook was so big and pointy. Then his mom showed him how to hold it so it was tidy. She helped him carry it home. + +When Jack got home, he put the hook in his room. He wanted to make sure it stayed tidy. He was still a little scared of it, but he was proud of the new thing he had! +Once upon a time there was a baby who was furry. She was like a fluffy little rabbit! The baby liked to jump up and down, so she did it all day. But then one day when she wanted to jump, she couldn't. She was too tired. She lay down on the floor and thought about why she couldn't jump anymore. Then she realised that she had played so much she had used up all her energy. So she decided that the next day she would take a break once in a while and not jump for so long. That way she could play and jump without feeling tired. The end. +Once upon a time there were two countries called Nation One and Nation Two. Nation One was really rich and Nation Two was really poor. Nation One had lots of money and they used it to buy things they needed, like food and clothes. Nation Two, however, was very poor and didn't have very much money. + +So, Nation Two decided to mail something to Nation One as a way to get money. Nation One received the mail and they saw that it was a very cheap item they didn't need. They were displeased and refused to send any money back. + +Nation Two felt angry and frustrated. It seemed like Nation One wasn't interested in helping them. Then they realised that even though they had nothing to offer, it was important to keep trying and to find a way to help each other. + +So, Nation Two tried even harder and found something better to mail. This time, Nation One was really happy. They sent money back to Nation Two, and both countries were happy. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to look for ways to help each other, even if we don't have much to offer. We should never give up, no matter how hard it may seem. +Once upon a time, there was a boy called Jack. Jack had a piece of cake. He wanted to keep the piece of cake all to himself, so he decided to lie. + +He went to the kitchen and he said to his mom, "That cake looks really disgusting!" Jack knew it wasn't true - the cake was delicious! + +His mom said, "Oh Jack, don't be silly. It's not disgusting at all, it's very yummy!" + +But Jack still didn't want to share, so he said, "I think it's disgusting - can I have it all?" His mom knew why he was saying it, so she said, "No, you can't have it all - you have to share!" + +Jack was a bit sad, but he knew his mom was right. So he shared the delicious piece of cake with his mom and they both enjoyed it very much! +Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved to explore. One day she decided to explore the kitchen in her home. When she opened the door she saw lots of things but what caught her eye was a teaspoon. She asked her mom if she could take the teaspoon for her adventure. Her mom said yes and the little girl grabbed the teaspoon and left the kitchen. + +The little girl went outside with the teaspoon and found an empty pot in the garden. She thought it was the perfect spot for her adventure and wondered what would fit in it. She had an idea and ran back inside. When she came back, she asked her mom if she could put water in the pot and her mom said yes. + +The little girl filled the pot with water and placed the teaspoon inside. She smiled as she watched the teaspoon float around the pot. The little girl wanted to find out what would happen if she added something else. She asked her mom if she could put a fish in the pot. Her mom said yes and the little girl added the fish to the pot. + +The little girl watched and laughed as the fish swam around with the teaspoon. She had set up an adventure for the fish and the teaspoon and was happy to see them having fun in the empty pot. +Once upon a time, there was an attractive bunny named Bunny. She had big, soft ears and liked to hop around. One day, Bunny was visiting a tall building with lots of floors. She watched as people quickly moved up and down in the elevator. + +Bunny wanted to take a ride in the elevator too! She hopped in but it was tricky for her short legs to push the buttons. The elevator door opened and Bunny was so excited she hopped right out again. + +'Wait, do not leave, Bunny!' called a friendly voice. 'Let me help you.' Bunny hopped back in and saw a person standing in the corner. + +'Hello, Bunny!' said the person. 'I'm here to help you. I will push the buttons for you and we can go up and down together. Do you want to repeat the ride in the elevator?' + +'Yes!' said Bunny, excitedly. + +So Bunny and the person spent the afternoon going up and down in the elevator, over and over again! Bunny couldn't believe how fun it was. She had a great time in the elevator with her new friend. +Once upon a time, there was a poor lumberjack. He had to work all day, chopping wood. He was always very tired, but he admired the beautiful forest he worked in. He was careful to not cut down too many trees, so that the forest stayed healthy. + +One day, as he was chopping away he heard a rustling in the bushes. He looked over and saw a little rabbit with grey fur and a white tail. The poor lumberjack admired how cute the bunny was. + +Not long after, the poor lumberjack heard a noise in the sky. He looked up and saw a sunshine yellow bird flying overhead. He admired how the sunlight danced off of its feathers. + +The poor lumberjack had a smile on his face as he went back to chopping wood.

She sees a big tree with red apples. The apples look tasty and juicy. + +"Look, Ben, apples!" Lily says. "Let's pick some and eat them!" + +"Okay!" Ben says. "That sounds fun!" + +They run to the tree. They climb on the branches and pick some apples. They bite into them and smile. The apples are tasty and sweet. + +They forget about the balloon. They are happy and full. They remain under the tree and share their apples. They are good friends. +Lily and Max were eager to go to the park. They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the door. Mom said, "Wait, you need to hold my hand. The street is not safe. There are cars and bikes and dogs. You need to look and listen before you cross." + +Lily and Max nodded and grabbed Mom's hand. They walked to the park and saw the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They let go of Mom's hand and ran to the playground. Mom said, "Have fun, but be careful. Don't touch anything that is sharp or dirty or hot. And stay where I can see you." + +Lily and Max said, "Okay, Mom." They played on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They made friends with other kids and shared their toys. They had a lot of fun. + +Then Lily saw a big red ball on the grass. She wanted to touch it. She ran to the ball and picked it up. It was soft and bouncy. She threw it in the air and caught it. She said, "Look, Max, a ball!" + +Max saw the ball and wanted to touch it too. He ran to Lily and said, "Can I play with the ball?"

He bounced on his bed, on his sofa, on his ball, and on his trampoline. He bounced so much that he made a lot of noise and sometimes broke things. His mom and dad told him to be careful and not bounce too much, but Ben did not listen. He thought bouncing was fun and he did not care about anything else. + +One day, Ben saw a big crane outside his window. The crane was lifting heavy things and putting them on a big truck. Ben thought the crane was cool and he wanted to bounce on it. He sneaked out of his house and ran to the crane. He climbed up the ladder and found a seat on the crane. He bounced on the seat and made the crane move. He felt very happy and proud. + +But he did not see that the crane was lifting a big box of gold.

He said Ben had to pay for the gold if he damaged it. + +Ben was very scared and sorry. He realized he had done a bad thing. He got off the crane and ran back to his house. He told his mom and dad what he had done. They were very disappointed and sad. They said Ben had to learn to be more careful and respectful. They said Ben had to apologize to the rich man and do some chores to earn some money. They said Ben could not bounce for a week. + +Ben felt very ashamed and sad. He wished he had listened to his mom and dad. He learned that bouncing was not always fun and that he had to think about the consequences of his actions. He learned that he had to respect other people's things and work hard for his own things. He learned that being rich was not only about having gold, but also about being good and kind. He decided to be a better boy and not bounce too much. +Ben and Lily are on the same team. They like to play soccer with their friends. Today, they have a big game against another team.

One day, she saw a big chair in the living room. It was red and soft and had a lot of pillows. Lily wanted to sit on the chair and pretend it was a castle. + +She ran to the chair and climbed on it. She felt very happy and proud. She said, "I am the queen of the chair!" She waved her arms and smiled. But she did not see the lamp on the table next to the chair. Her arm hit the lamp and it fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces and made a loud noise. + +Lily was scared and sad. She knew she did something bad.

It is a seagull. + +"Look, Lily, the bird can fly!" Tom says. + +"I want to fly too!" Lily says. + +They run after the bird, waving their arms. The bird flies away, but they keep chasing it. They run through the grass, the sand and the flowers. They make a lot of dust with their feet. + +"Stop, stop, you are making me sneeze!" a voice says. + +They look around and see a small mouse under a bush. The mouse has brown fur and a pink nose. It is holding a leaf over its head. + +"Sorry, mouse, we did not see you," Tom says. + +"Why are you running after the bird?" the mouse asks. + +"Because we want to fly like the bird," Lily says. + +The mouse shakes its head. + +"You cannot fly like the bird. You are not a bird. You are a child. You have to be happy with what you are," the mouse says. + +"But flying is fun!" Tom says. + +"Maybe, but it is also dangerous. The bird has to watch out for cats, hawks and planes. You are safe on the ground. You have a lot of things to enjoy here. You have your toys, your friends and your family. You have the sun, the wind and the rain. You have the calm and the noise. You have the colors and the shapes. You have the dust and the stars. You have the world," the mouse says. + +Tom and Lily think about what the mouse says. They look at the bird, then at the mouse, then at each other. They smile. + +"Thank you, mouse, you are very wise," Lily says. + +"You are welcome, children, you are very kind," the mouse says. + +They say goodbye to the mouse and go back to their toys. They play with their cars, their dolls and their balls. They have fun on the ground. They do not want to fly anymore.

"This one is Mia. She has a yellow hat and a pink scarf. She likes to dance." + +They went on like this, naming each snowman and giving them hobbies. They had fun imagining what their snowmen would do if they were alive. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a snowplow. It was coming towards their row of snowmen. It was going to knock them down. + +"Stop!" Lila shouted. "Stop! You are going to hurt our snowmen!" + +Ben ran after the snowplow. He waved his arms and yelled. "Stop! Stop! These are our friends!" + +But the snowplow did not stop. It did not see them. It was too big and too loud. + +Lila and Ben watched in horror as their row of snowmen was smashed by the snowplow. They saw their hats and scarves and buttons fly in the air. They saw their snowmen disappear under the snow. + +They felt very sad. They felt very angry. They felt very confused. + +"Why did he do that?" Lila asked. "Why did he ruin our snowmen?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "He was very mean. He did not care about our snowmen." + +They hugged each other and cried. They wished their snowmen were still with them. They wished they could freeze the time and save their snowmen. But they could not. They could only watch as the snowplow drove away, leaving behind a trail of snow and ice. +Tommy was sleepy. He wanted to go to bed, but his mom said he had to go to the store with her. He did not like the store. It was big and loud and boring.

We just need to get some milk and eggs and bread," his mom said. + +They went to the aisle with the milk and eggs and bread. Tommy saw a lady with a red hat and a big bag.

Tommy said. + +His mom looked and saw the lady. She was angry. She let go of Tommy's hand and ran after the lady. She shouted, "Stop! Thief! Give back the milk and eggs and bread!" + +The lady was scared. She dropped the bag and ran away. The milk and eggs and bread fell out of the bag. They made a mess on the floor. + +Tommy was surprised. He did not know what to do. He saw his mom talking to a man with a badge. He was a policeman. He thanked his mom for catching the thief. He gave her a sticker that said "Hero". + +Tommy was proud of his mom. He hugged her and said, "You are the best, mom!" + +His mom smiled and hugged him back. She said, "You are the best, too, Tommy.

My zipper is broken!" he cried. + +Mom came over and gently took Ben's zipper. She explained how to fix it. "Sometimes, the zipper gets caught on the fabric. You have to push it down a little bit, then pull it up slowly. Like this." She showed Ben how to do it. The zipper slid up and closed. + +"Wow, thank you, Mom! You are the best!" Ben said, hugging her. + +"You're welcome, Ben. Now, go and have fun with Lily. And remember, always check your zipper before you go out," Mom said, laughing. + +Ben and Lily nodded and ran to the backyard. They pretended to fight crime and save the world as the famous Batman and Batgirl. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the zipper problem. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a doll. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, they see an old man in the park. He is sitting on a bench. He has a bottle in his hand. He looks sad and lonely. + +"Hello, mister," Sara says. "Why are you sad?" + +The old man does not answer. He drinks from his bottle. He smells bad. + +"Can we play with you?" Ben asks. "We have a ball, a bike and a doll." + +The old man shakes his head. He does not want to play. He drinks more from his bottle. He looks angry. + +"Go away, kids," he says. "Leave me alone.

They hope he will find happiness. They hope he will learn to share. They hope he will stop drinking from his bottle. They hope he will come to the park and play with them. +Lila and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs in the water. They were very happy. + +One day, they saw a big whale in the sea. It was very far away, but they could see its tail and its spout. Lila and Ben wanted to see it closer. They asked their mom and dad if they could go on a boat. Their mom and dad said yes, but they had to be careful and listen to the captain. + +They got on a boat with other people. The captain was a nice man who knew a lot about whales. He told them that whales were gentle and smart animals, and that they should not be afraid of them. He also told them that they should not touch them or feed them, because that could make them sick or angry. + +The boat followed the whale for a while. Lila and Ben were very excited.

He knew that bears liked beans. He had an idea. + +He picked up a bean and threw it at the bear. The bear looked at the bean and sniffed it. It liked the smell. It ate the bean. + +Ben threw another bean. And another. And another. He made a trail of beans away from the bean plant and the garden.

You are so brave!" Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are my best friend. I'm sorry I mentioned the beans. I didn't know there was a bear there." Ben said. + +"It's okay, Ben. You saved us with the beans. You are very smart. Let's go and tell Mom and Dad what happened."

Sleep well." + +Lily and her brother said, "Good night, Mommy. We love you too. Sleep well." + +Lily went back to her bed. She was not restless anymore. She was sleepy and happy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Her brother did the same. They both had sweet dreams. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the attic. The box has many old clothes and things. + +"Look, Sara, a rod!" Ben says. He takes out a long stick with a string and a hook. "I can be a fisher!" + +"And look, Ben, a dress!" Sara says. She takes out a pink dress with flowers and ribbons. "I can be a princess!" + +They dress up and pretend to be fisher and princess. They have fun. + +But then, Ben sees a shiny ring on Sara's finger. He wants it. + +"Give me the ring, Sara!" Ben says. "It is mine!" + +"No, Ben, it is mine!" Sara says. "I found it first!" + +They start to fight. They pull and tug. The ring flies off Sara's finger. It lands in a hole in the floor. + +"Oh no!" Sara and Ben say. They look in the hole. They cannot see the ring. It is gone. + +They feel sad. They wish they did not fight. + +"I am sorry, Sara," Ben says. "The ring was not mine. You can have it." + +"I am sorry, Ben," Sara says. "The ring was not important.

Lily says, clapping her hands. "Can I help you make it bigger?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can. Here, take this block and put it on top." Tom says, handing her a light blue block. + +Lily takes the block and tries to balance it on the tower. But the tower is too high and wobbly. It falls down with a loud crash. The blocks scatter all over the floor. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Tom say together. They are sad and scared. They think they broke the blocks. + +Suddenly, they hear a voice from the kitchen. It is their mom. + +"What was that noise?" Mom asks, coming to the living room. She sees the mess of blocks and the sad faces of Lily and Tom. + +"We're sorry, Mom, we made a tower and it fell down." Lily says, sniffling. + +"We didn't mean to, Mom, we were just playing." Tom says, looking down. + +Mom smiles and hugs them both. + +"It's okay, my loves, you didn't break anything. The blocks are fine, you can play with them again. But next time, be careful not to make them too high, okay?" Mom says, kissing their cheeks. + +"Okay, Mom, we will." Lily and Tom say, nodding. + +"Good. Now, why don't you help me clean up the blocks and then we can have a snack?" Mom says, picking up some blocks. + +"Okay, Mom, we will."

They liked to make shapes and animals with the soft and sticky clay. Ben made a big snake and Lily made a small bird. + +"Look at my snake!" Ben said. "It is long and green and scary. It can eat your bird!" + +Lily was not afraid of Ben's snake. She smiled and said, "No, it can't. My bird is fast and smart and pretty. It can fly away from your snake!" + +Ben wanted to show Lily that his snake was better. He moved his snake closer to Lily's bird and made a hissing sound. "Sssss! My snake is hungry. It will catch your bird and gobble it up!" + +Lily did not like Ben's game. She did not want her bird to be eaten. She picked up her bird and held it in her hand. She replied, "Stop it, Ben. That is not nice. My bird is my friend. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Ben felt sorry for making Lily sad. He did not mean to hurt her feelings. He liked Lily and her bird. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just joking. Your bird is cool. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was sorry. She liked Ben and his snake. She said, "Okay, Ben. I forgive you. Your snake is cool too. Can we play together?" + +Ben and Lily smiled and hugged. They put their clay animals next to each other and played happily. They were friends again. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Let's measure how tall our tower is," Lily says. She takes a ruler and puts it next to the tower. "It is ten inches tall. That is very good." + +"I want to make it taller," Ben says. He adds more blocks on top of the tower. "Now it is twelve inches tall. That is even better." + +They keep adding more blocks until the tower is very tall. It is taller than Lily and Ben. They are very happy. + +But then, a terrible thing happens.

"We worked so hard on it." + +"It's okay, Lily," Ben says. "We can make another one. We still have time." + +He hugs Lily and helps her pick up the blocks. They start to build a new tower. They hope it will not fall down again. They measure it carefully and make it strong. They have fun playing with blocks. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also liked to look at the flowers, the birds and the bugs. + +One day, they found a charming hat on a bench. It was red and blue and had a big feather on it. Lily put it on her head and said, "Look at me, Ben! I am a princess!" + +Ben laughed and said, "You are a silly princess, Lily! That hat is too big for you!" + +He tried to grab the hat from Lily, but she ran away. She said, "No, Ben! It is my hat! You can't have it!" + +They chased each other around the park, giggling and shouting. But then, Lily tripped on a rock and fell down. She dropped the hat and it rolled away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!"

I didn't mean to make you fall." + +He helped her get up and hugged her. He said, "You are still my best friend, Lily. And you are still a princess, even without the hat." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. And you are still my best friend, too. And you are a prince, even without the hat." + +They looked for the hat, but they couldn't find it. Someone else must have taken it. They didn't mind. They still had each other. They held hands and walked back to their moms, who were waiting for them. They had a good day, even without the hat. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big bush with red berries. They run to the bush and pick some berries. They put them in a basket. + +"Look, we have so many berries!" Lily says. "We can eat them for snack." + +"Yes, they look yummy!" Ben says. "Let's go to the porch and share them with Mom." + +They carry the basket to the porch. But when they get there, they see a big surprise. The basket is empty! There are no berries left. + +"Where are our berries?" Lily asks. "Who took them?" + +They look around and see a squirrel on the fence. The squirrel has a berry in its mouth. It looks at them and chatters. + +"Hey, that's our berry!" Ben shouts. "You are a bad squirrel!" + +The squirrel runs away with the berry. Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They have no berries for snack. + +Mom comes out and sees them. She hugs them and says, "Don't worry, my sweeties. I have some cookies for you. And we can pick more berries tomorrow." + +Lily and Ben smile and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +They eat the cookies and forget about the squirrel. They are happy again. +Mia was very tired after playing all day with her friends. She wanted to relax and sleep in her bed. But she could not find her favorite cloth. It was a soft and pink cloth that she always hugged when she slept. She felt sad and scared without it. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, where is my cloth? I need it to sleep." + +Mom looked around and saw the cloth on the sofa. She smiled and said, "Here it is, Mia. I washed it for you. It is clean and fresh. Do you want to smell it?" + +Mia ran to the sofa and grabbed the cloth. She sniffed it and smiled. It smelled like flowers and soap. She said, "Thank you, Mom. It smells nice. Can I sleep with it now?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Of course, my sweetie. Let's go to your bed. I will tuck you in and read you a story." + +Mia followed Mom to her bed. She climbed on it and wrapped the cloth around her. She felt comfortable and warm. Mom tucked her in and kissed her forehead. She opened a book and read a story about a princess and a dragon. Mia listened and closed her eyes. She relaxed and fell asleep. She dreamed of happy things. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But they do not like to share. Sometimes they fight over the same toy. + +One day, Mom brings home a big tub of cream. She says it is a rare treat for them. She puts it in the fridge and tells them they can have some after dinner. + +Ben and Sam are very excited. They want to taste the cream. They think it is very yummy. They forget about their toys and run to the kitchen. + +They open the fridge and see the cream. They both reach for it at the same time. They pull and tug and shout. + +"Give me the cream!" Ben says. + +"No, it is mine!" Sam says. + +They make a big mess. The cream spills on the floor and on their clothes. Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She is very angry. + +"What are you doing?" Mom says. "You are not supposed to touch the cream. It is for later. And look at this mess. You have wasted the cream. It is very rare and hard to find. Now we have none left." + +Ben and Sam feel sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They did not know the cream was rare. They just wanted to try it. + +They say sorry to Mom. They help her clean the mess. They hug her and tell her they love her. + +Mom is not angry anymore. She hugs them back and tells them she loves them too.

She went to the kitchen and opened the cupboard. But there was no cereal. She was sad. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, where is the cereal?" + +Her mom was in the living room. She was reading a book. She was lazy. She did not want to get up. + +She said, "Sara, you have to search for the cereal. Maybe it is in another cupboard. Or maybe it is in the pantry. Or maybe it is under the table. You have to look everywhere." + +Sara did not like to search. She wanted to eat cereal now. She thought her mom was mean. She said, "Mom, you are mean. You are lazy. You do not help me." + +Her mom did not like to hear that. She put down her book. She got up. She went to the kitchen. She said, "Sara, I am not mean. I am not lazy. I am trying to teach you how to search. Searching is fun. You can find many things. Sometimes you can find surprises." + +She opened a cupboard. She took out a box of cereal. She said, "Look, Sara, I found the cereal. It was hiding in this cupboard. Do you want some?" + +Sara was happy. She said, "Yes, mom, I want some. Thank you, mom. You are not mean. You are not lazy. You are smart. You know how to search." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "You are welcome, Sara. You are smart too. You can learn how to search. Next time, you can help me find the cereal. Or maybe something else. Searching is fun. Do you want to search with me?" + +Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, mom, I want to search with you. Searching is fun. Maybe we can find surprises." + +They poured some cereal in a bowl. They added some milk. They ate the cereal together. They talked about what they wanted to search for next.

The tower gets taller and taller. Lily and Max are happy. They want to make the tower even taller. + +"Look, Max, our tower is so big!" Lily says. + +"Yes, Lily, it is. Let's put one more block on top!" Max says. + +They reach for the last block. But they are too short. They cannot reach the block. They try to jump. They try to stand on their toes. They try to lean on the wall. But they still cannot reach the block. + +They are sad. They want to finish their tower. They look at each other. They have an idea. + +"Let's ask Spot for help!" Lily says. + +"Good idea, Lily!" Max says. + +They call Spot. Spot comes running. He wags his tail. He likes to play with Lily and Max. + +"Spot, can you help us?" Lily says. + +She points to the block. Spot looks at the block. He looks at the tower. He looks at Lily and Max. He understands. + +He jumps on the bed. He grabs the block with his mouth.

Lily wanted to skip on the grass with her new rope. Ben wanted to play with his new ball. They did not want to share. They started to yell and push each other. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You have enough toys for both of you. Why can't you get along?" + +Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept fighting. They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog was angry and hungry. It barked and growled and showed its teeth. + +"Help! Help!" Lily and Ben screamed. They tried to run away, but it was too late. The dog bit them and hurt them badly.

They had many blocks of different colors and shapes, and they made houses, towers, bridges and cars with them. They had fun playing with their blocks every day. + +One day, they heard a loud noise and felt the floor shake. It was an earthquake! The earthquake made their blocks fall down and break. Tom and Sam were scared and ran to their mom, who hugged them and told them they were safe. + +Mom said, "The earthquake was very strong, but it is over now. We are lucky that we are not hurt and our home is not damaged. But look at your blocks, they are all over the floor and some of them are cracked. You should clean them up and put them away." + +Tom said, "Yes, mom, we will. We are sorry for the mess. We love our blocks and we don't want to lose them." + +Sam said, "But mom, can we build something again tomorrow? We like to build things with our blocks. It is fun and we learn a lot." + +Mom said, "Of course you can, my boys. Building things with your blocks is a good way to use your imagination and creativity. But you should also remember to be careful and respectful of your things. Don't build too high or too close to the edge of the table, because they might fall and break. And don't be foolish and try to make your blocks move or shake, because they are not toys that can do that. They are just blocks that you can arrange in different ways. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nodded and said, "Yes, mom, we understand. We will be more careful and respectful of our blocks. Thank you for teaching us." + +Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, my boys. I'm proud of you for being honest and willing to learn. Now, let's clean up your blocks and put them away. Then we can have some cookies and milk." + +Tom and Sam said, "Yay, cookies and milk!" They hugged their mom and helped her clean up their blocks. They learned a valuable lesson that day: to be careful and respectful of their things, and not to be foolish and try to make them do what they can't. They also learned to appreciate their mom and her love and wisdom. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars and trucks in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road. Sometimes they would crash into each other and laugh. + +"Look, Lily, I have a big truck!" Tom said, holding up his yellow toy. "It can carry a lot of things in the back." + +"Wow, Tom, that's a nice truck!" Lily said, admiring his toy. "Can I see it?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can see it. But be careful, it has a screw on the bottom. Don't drop it or it will break." Tom said, handing her the truck. + +Lily took the truck and looked at it closely. She saw the screw on the bottom and wondered what it was for. She touched it with her finger and felt it was hard and cold. She turned the truck over and over, trying to see how the screw worked. + +"Hey, Lily, what are you doing?" Tom asked, watching her. "Don't play with the screw. It holds the truck together." + +"I'm just looking, Tom. I want to know how the screw works." Lily said, curious. "Can I take it out and see?" + +"No, Lily, you can't take it out. It's not a toy. It's a part of the truck. If you take it out, the truck will fall apart." Tom said, worried. "Please give it back to me." + +Lily didn't listen to Tom. She wanted to see what would happen if she took out the screw. She used her fingernail to loosen the screw and pulled it out. She held it in her hand and smiled. + +"Look, Tom, I took out the screw!" Lily said, proud. "Now I can see how it works." + +But as soon as she said that, the truck dropped from her other hand and broke into pieces on the floor. The wheels, the windows, the doors, and the back all came off. Lily gasped and looked at the mess. Tom cried and looked at his broken truck. + +"Lily, why did you do that?" Tom said, angry and sad. "You broke my truck! You didn't listen to me! You were not thoughtful!" + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She didn't mean to break Tom's truck. She just wanted to learn something new. She looked at Tom and saw his tears. She wanted to make him feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry I broke your truck. I didn't know it would happen. I was not thoughtful. Please forgive me." Lily said, apologizing. "Can we fix it? Can we put the screw back in?" + +Tom sniffed and looked at Lily. He saw that she was sorry and that she wanted to help. He still loved his sister, even though she broke his truck. He decided to forgive her and try to fix it. + +"It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. You made a mistake. But next time, please listen to me. I know more about trucks than you. Maybe we can fix it. Let's try to put the screw back in." Tom said, forgiving. "But we need to ask Mom for help. She has a tool that can do it." + +Lily nodded and hugged Tom. She was glad that he forgave her and that they could still be friends. She learned a lesson that day. She learned to be more thoughtful and to listen to others. She also learned that screws are not toys, but important parts of trucks. +Lily loved to play with her trumpet. She liked to make loud noises and pretend she was in a band. She always took her trumpet with her when she went to the park with her mom and dad. + +One day, she saw a boy with a big ball.

Lily screamed and ran to the bench. She tried to get her trumpet back, but the dog was too strong and fast. It ran away with her trumpet, leaving it bent and broken. + +Lily cried and cried. She loved her trumpet so much. She was angry at the boy for making her leave it. She was angry at the dog for ruining it. She was angry at herself for being careless. + +The boy felt sorry for Lily. He saw how much she loved her trumpet. He remembered that he had a toy guitar at home. He liked it, but he didn't play with it much. He had an idea. He ran to his mom and asked if he could give it to Lily. His mom said yes, and praised him for being compassionate. + +He came back to Lily with the guitar. He said he was sorry for what happened. He said he wanted to give her his guitar as a gift. He said he hoped she would forgive him and be his friend. + +Lily looked at the guitar. It was shiny and colorful. She liked it, but she still missed her trumpet. She looked at the boy. He had a kind smile. He was trying to be nice. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She decided to forgive him and be his friend. + +She thanked him for the guitar and gave him a hug. They played with the guitar and the ball. They made music and had fun.

I will return soon." The dog barks and wags his tail. He is happy to help Tom. + +But while Tom is away, a fox sneaks into the farm. He sees the hen and thinks, "Mmm, what a tasty snack!" He runs towards the hen, who clucks and flaps her wings. She is scared of the fox. + +The dog hears the noise and sees the fox. He thinks, "Oh no, the fox wants to eat the hen! I have to stop him!" He barks and chases the fox. The fox is surprised and afraid. He drops the hen and runs away. + +The hen is safe and grateful. She says, "Thank you, dog. You are a brilliant dog. You saved me from the fox." The dog licks the hen and says, "You are welcome, hen. You are my friend. We are a team." + +Soon, Tom returns from the market. He sees the dog and the hen. He says, "What happened here? Did you have a visitor?" The dog and the hen tell him about the fox. Tom says, "Wow, you are a brave dog and a smart hen. You protected the farm. I am proud of you." He hugs them and gives them some treats. They are happy and full. They love Tom and Tom loves them. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the long chain that hung from a big tree. They took turns to push each other and go high in the air. + +"Look at me, Lily!" Tom shouted. "I can swing faster than you!" + +Lily smiled and pushed Tom harder. She wanted to swing faster too. But then she saw something shiny on the ground. She jumped off the chain and ran to pick it up. + +"Wow, what is this?" Lily asked. She held a shiny thing in her hand. It had many small teeth that looked sharp. + +Tom stopped swinging and came to see. He was curious about the shiny thing too. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Tom said. "That is a saw. It can cut things. It can hurt you if you touch the sharp teeth." + +Lily looked at the saw and felt scared. She did not want to cut herself or Tom. She dropped the saw on the ground and ran back to the chain. + +"Let's swing again, Tom!" Lily said. "Swinging is more fun than sawing." + +Tom nodded and followed Lily. He agreed that swinging was more fun than sawing. He also thought that Lily was very smart to listen to him and be careful. He gave her a big hug and they swung together happily. +Tom and Lily like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. They make piles and match the cards.

Let's go to the sink." They take the cards to the sink. They turn on the water. They wash the cards with soap. They rinse the cards with water. They dry the cards with a towel. + +They go back to the floor. They look at the cards. The cards are clean and shiny. But some cards are blurry. The juice made the colors run. And some cards are torn. The water made the paper soft. + +Lily says, "Oh no, our cards are not the same. They are blurry and torn. They don't look nice." + +Tom says, "Don't be sad, Lily. We can make new cards. We have paper and crayons. We can draw animals and colors. We can cut the paper. We can make piles and match the cards. We can have fun." + +Lily smiles. She says, "You are right, Tom. We can make new cards. That sounds fun. Let's do it." + +They get paper and crayons. They draw animals and colors. They cut the paper. They make piles and match the cards. They have fun. They are careful not to spill juice on the cards. They put the cards in a deep box. They keep the box safe.

You are my best friend." Big Shrimp smiled. He said, "I love you too, Lila. You are my best friend. And maybe we will see Little Shrimp again someday. He might be happy in the big water. He might make new friends. He might shine like the coin." Lila smiled too. She said, "Maybe you're right, Big Shrimp. Maybe he will shine. And maybe he will remember us." She kissed Big Shrimp. She said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Big Shrimp. You make me feel better." Lila's mom smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Lila. You make me feel proud. You are a brave and kind girl. Now let's finish your bath and get ready for bed. And maybe we can read a story about shrimp." Lila agreed. She said, "Yes, please. I like stories about shrimp. They are fun and smart and cute.

It can go very fast. Do you want to try it?" + +Ben and Lily shake their heads. They do not want to try the big scooter. They like their small scooters.

Mia threw the bread into the water and watched the swans swim and eat. She saw one swan that was bigger and prettier than the others. It had a light spot on its head. + +"Look, Mom, that swan is special. It has a light on its head," Mia said. + +"That's a nice swan, Mia. Maybe it's the leader of the flock. Do you want to give it some bread?" Mom asked. + +Mia nodded and held out a piece of bread in her hand. She walked slowly towards the swan with the light spot. The swan saw her and swam closer. Mia smiled and stretched out her hand. + +But the swan did not want the bread. It wanted Mia's hand. It snapped at her fingers with its sharp beak. Mia screamed and pulled back her hand. It hurt a lot. She ran to Mom and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The swan bit me, Mom! It was mean!" Mia sobbed. + +Mom hugged Mia and looked at her hand. It was red and had a small cut. Mom took out a tissue and a band-aid from her bag and cleaned and covered Mia's wound. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. That swan was not nice. It was probably scared or angry. You did nothing wrong. You were very brave and kind to share your bread. But sometimes, animals can be sharp and hurt us. We have to be careful and respect them," Mom said. + +Mia sniffed and nodded. She felt better with Mom's hug and band-aid. She looked at the swan with the light spot. It was still in the water, looking at her. Mia did not like it anymore. She liked the other swans better. They were gentle and friendly. + +"Can we go to the swings, Mom?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, honey. Let's go to the swings. Maybe we can see some nice squirrels or butterflies on the way," Mom said. + +Mia smiled and took Mom's hand. She forgot about the sharp swan and enjoyed the rest of the day at the park. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a lot of trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find a treasure or a castle!" + +"OK, Tom!" Lily said. "But be careful. The hill is steep and the grass is wet." + +They held hands and started to climb the hill. They saw birds and flowers and bugs. They heard a stream and a wind. They felt happy and excited. + +But when they reached the top of the hill, they saw a lot of mist. The mist was white and cold and thick. They could not see anything else. They felt nervous and scared. + +"Tom, I don't like the mist!" Lily said. "It makes me feel lost and cold. Can we go back?" + +"Me too, Lily!" Tom said. "But how can we go back? We can't see the path or the park. Maybe we are stuck here!" + +They hugged each other and started to cry. They wished they had not climbed the hill. They wished they had stayed in the park. + +But then they heard a voice. The voice was loud and kind and familiar. + +"Lily! Tom! Where are you?" The voice said. "I'm looking for you!" + +It was their dad. He had come to the park to pick them up. He had seen them climb the hill and followed them. He had a flashlight and a whistle. He cut through the mist and found them. + +"Lily! Tom! There you are!" He said. "I'm so glad I found you! Are you OK?" + +"Dad!" Lily and Tom said. "We're OK! We're sorry! We were playing and we got lost in the mist!" + +"It's OK, my loves!" He said. "Don't be sorry. You were brave and curious. But next time, don't go too far without me. The mist can be dangerous and tricky. Come on, let's go home. I have cookies and milk for you!" + +He took their hands and led them down the hill. The mist cleared and they saw the park again. They felt safe and warm and happy. They learned a lesson and had a story to tell. They loved their dad and he loved them. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box of paints in the garage. They wanted to make colorful pictures, so they took the paints and some paper to their room. + +"Let's mix the paints and see what colors we get," Ben said. He poured some red and yellow paint into a cup and stirred it with a stick. "Look, I made orange!" + +"Wow, that's cool," Sam said. He poured some blue and green paint into another cup and mixed it. "I made turquoise!" + +They dipped their brushes into the cups and started to paint on the paper. They made flowers, cars, stars, and animals. They had fun mixing the paints and making new colors. + +But they also made a big mess. They spilled paint on the floor, the bed, the walls, and their clothes. They didn't notice because they were too busy painting. + +Their mom came to check on them and saw the mess. She was very angry. "What have you done?" she shouted. "You ruined the room and the paints! Those were not for you to play with! They were for dad's work!" + +Ben and Sam were scared. They tried to hide behind the paper, but mom saw them. She grabbed them by their arms and dragged them to the bathroom. She made them take off their clothes and put them in the trash. She turned on the shower and washed them with soap and water. They cried and shivered. + +Mom was still angry. She took them to their room and buckled them into their chairs. She took away their toys and their paper. She said they had to stay there until dad came home. She said they were very naughty and had to learn to respect other people's things. + +Ben and Sam felt very sorry. They wished they had not played with the paints. They wished they had been more alert and careful. They learned that mixing paints was not a good idea. They learned that they should always ask before they use something that is not theirs. They learned that they should always clean up their mess. They learned that they should listen to their mom. They learned a hard lesson. +Tim and Sue were twins who lived on a big ranch with many animals. They loved to help their dad and mom with the chores, like feeding the horses, milking the cows, and collecting the eggs. They also liked to play with their dog, Spot, and their cat, Fluffy. + +One day, their dad told them he had a surprise for them. He said he had a special gift for each of them, something they had always wanted. He told them to follow him to the barn, where he had hidden the gifts. Tim and Sue were very excited and curious. They ran after their dad, holding hands and guessing what the gifts could be. + +When they reached the barn, their dad opened the door and said, "Here they are, your very own ponies!" Tim and Sue gasped and clapped their hands. They saw two beautiful ponies, one brown and one white, with ribbons on their manes and tails. They looked friendly and gentle. Their dad said, "The brown one is for Tim, and the white one is for Sue. They are gifted ponies, they can do many tricks and learn fast. You can name them whatever you want, and I will teach you how to ride them and take care of them." + +Tim and Sue thanked their dad and hugged him. They were so happy and grateful. They ran to their ponies and petted them. They decided to name them Brownie and Snowy. They tried to climb on their backs, but they struggled a bit. Their dad helped them and showed them how to hold the reins and use their legs. He said, "Don't worry, you will get better with practice. Just be patient and gentle with your ponies, and they will love you and obey you." + +Tim and Sue nodded and smiled. They felt a bond with their ponies, and they couldn't wait to learn more and have fun with them. They thanked their dad again and said, "This is the best day ever!" Their dad smiled and said, "You're welcome, my gifted kids. I'm proud of you." He watched them ride their ponies around the barn, with Spot and Fluffy following them. He felt happy and fulfilled. He knew he had given them the best gifts ever, not only ponies, but also joy, confidence, and responsibility. +Lily and Ben like to create things with their blocks. They make houses, towers, cars and animals. They have fun and use their imagination. + +One day, they decide to create a big castle with many rooms and windows. They work hard and help each other. They are proud of their castle. + +"Look at our castle, Lily! It is so big and pretty!" Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben! It is the best castle ever! Let's play inside it!" Lily says. + +They go inside their castle and pretend to be a king and a queen. They have a throne, a crown, a scepter and a cape. They make rules and give orders. + +But Lily is clumsy. She trips over a block and falls down. She knocks down a wall of the castle. The blocks fall everywhere. + +"Oh no, Lily! You broke our castle!" Ben says. + +"I'm sorry, Ben! I didn't mean to!" Lily says. + +They look at their castle. It is not big and pretty anymore. It is a mess. + +They feel sad and angry. They start to cry. + +But then, they remember something. They remember that they are friends. They remember that they can create again. + +They hug each other and say sorry. They wipe their tears and smile. + +"Let's create a new castle, Lily! A better one!" Ben says. + +"OK, Ben! Let's do it! And be careful this time!" Lily says. + +They pick up their blocks and start to create again. They have fun and use their imagination. They are happy. +Lily wanted to try the big cake that Mom made for Dad's birthday. It looked so yummy and sweet. She saw Mom go to the bathroom and decided to sneak a bite. She climbed on a chair and reached for the cake with her hand. + +But she did not know that the cake was not ready yet. Mom had only put the frosting on top, but the inside was still raw. Lily took a big bite and felt a yucky taste in her mouth. She spat out the cake and made a face. + +"Ew, ew, ew! This cake is bad!" she cried. + +Mom heard her and came back to the kitchen. She saw Lily with cake on her hand and mouth, and the hole in the cake. + +"Lily, what did you do?" Mom asked, looking angry and sad. + +Lily felt embarrassed. She knew she did something wrong. She wanted to say sorry, but she did not know how. + +"I...I...I wanted to try the cake," she said in a small voice. + +Mom sighed and hugged Lily. She was not happy, but she loved Lily. + +"I know, honey, but you have to wait until the cake is baked. It is not good to eat raw cake. It can make you sick. And you ruined Dad's birthday surprise." + +Lily felt bad. She wanted to make Mom and Dad happy, not sad. She wished she could fix the cake. + +"Can we make a new cake?" she asked. + +Mom smiled and nodded. She took Lily to the sink and washed her hand and mouth. Then she took out a new bowl and some ingredients. + +"Yes, we can. But you have to help me and follow the rules. No more sneaking bites, okay?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She was glad Mom was not mad at her anymore. She wanted to help Mom make a new cake. She hoped Dad would like it. + +They mixed the ingredients and poured them into a pan. Then they put the pan in the oven and set the timer. + +"Now we have to wait until the cake is done," Mom said. + +Lily nodded and sat on the floor. She played with her toys and waited. She smelled the cake and it smelled good. She hoped it would taste good too. + +After a while, the timer beeped and Mom took out the cake. She let it cool and then put some frosting on it. She wrote "Happy Birthday Dad" with some sprinkles. + +The cake looked beautiful and yummy. Lily clapped her hands and cheered. + +"Yay, we did it! We made a new cake!" + +Mom smiled and kissed Lily. + +"Yes, we did. You are a good helper, Lily. Thank you." + +Lily hugged Mom and said, "You're welcome, Mom. I love you." + +They put the cake on a plate and covered it with a cloth. Then they waited for Dad to come home. + +When Dad came home, he saw Mom and Lily waiting for him with a big smile. He smelled the cake and guessed what it was. + +"Is that a cake I smell?" he asked. + +Mom and Lily nodded and said, "Surprise!" + +They uncovered the cake and showed it to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. + +"Wow, what a beautiful cake! Did you make it for me?" + +Mom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, we did. Happy birthday, Dad!" + +Dad hugged them and said, "Thank you, Mom and Lily. You are the best. I love you." + +He cut a slice of cake and gave it to Lily. She took a bite and smiled. It tasted good. She was happy. + +She did not tell Dad about the first cake. She did not want to embarrass Mom or herself. She decided to keep it a secret. She learned her lesson. She would never sneak bites again. +Tom was a boy who liked to play with his dog, Spot. One day, they went to the park to run and jump and have fun. But when they got there, they saw an enormous bird with big wings and a long beak. It was a crane, and it was looking for fish in the pond. + +Spot was curious and wanted to see the crane. He ran towards it, barking and wagging his tail. But the crane did not like Spot. It was scared and angry. It opened its beak and made a loud noise. It tried to peck Spot with its beak and hit him with its wings. + +Tom saw that Spot was in trouble. He wanted to help him, but he did not know how. He looked around and saw a cane on the ground. It belonged to an old man who was sitting on a bench. Tom ran and picked up the cane. He waved it in the air and shouted at the crane. He hoped the crane would go away and leave Spot alone. + +The crane saw Tom and the cane. It did not like Tom either. It thought Tom was trying to hurt it. It flapped its wings and flew up in the air. It circled around Tom and Spot, looking for a chance to attack. Tom and Spot were scared. They did not know what to do. + +But then, the old man saw what was happening. He got up from the bench and walked towards Tom and Spot. He called the crane by its name. He said, "Coco, come here. Stop being naughty. These are my friends. They do not want to harm you." He held out his hand and the crane landed on it. He stroked its feathers and talked to it softly. He said, "Coco, you are a good bird. But you have to be nice to other animals. They are not your enemies. They are your friends. Can you say sorry to Spot and Tom?" + +The crane looked at the old man. It liked the old man. He was its owner and its friend. He gave it food and water and love. It felt sorry for being mean to Spot and Tom. It nodded its head and made a low noise. It said, "Sorry, Spot. Sorry, Tom." It stretched out its wing and touched Spot's nose. It touched Tom's hand. It said, "Friends?" + +Spot and Tom were surprised and happy. They smiled and said, "Friends!" They thanked the old man and the crane. They said, "You are very kind and brave. You helped us. You are our friends too." They gave the old man and the crane a hug. They said, "Can we play with you?" + +The old man and the crane agreed. They said, "Yes, let's play together." They went to the pond and threw sticks and stones and watched the fish. They had a lot of fun. They laughed and talked and played. They were happy. They were friends. Tom and Spot managed to make new friends with the old man and the crane. They learned that even enormous birds can be nice and friendly. They learned that canes can be useful and helpful. They learned that friendship is the best thing in the world. +Tom and Sue like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big box near the tree. They are curious. They want to see what is in the box. + +They go to the box and open it. They see a blue snake inside. The snake is long and shiny. It has a red tongue and black eyes. Tom and Sue are scared. They scream and run away. + +A man comes to the box. He has a hat and a badge. He is a zookeeper. He is looking for the blue snake. He says, "Who opened this box? This is a rare snake. I was going to send it to another zoo. It is not dangerous, but it is very fast. I need to catch it before it gets lost." + +He sees the snake on the grass. He runs to it and grabs it. He puts it back in the box and closes it. He says, "Thank you, Tom and Sue, for telling me where the snake is. You are brave and smart. But next time, do not open boxes that are not yours. You never know what is inside." + +Tom and Sue nod and say, "We are sorry, Mr. Zookeeper. We will not do it again. We are glad you found your snake. Can we see it again at the zoo?" + +The zookeeper smiles and says, "Of course, you can. Come and visit me anytime. I will show you the blue snake and many other animals. Goodbye, Tom and Sue. Have fun in the park." + +Tom and Sue wave and say, "Goodbye, Mr. Zookeeper. Thank you for your snake story. We will see you soon." They go back to the swing, slide and run. They are happy and careful. They do not open boxes that are not theirs. They only open boxes that are theirs. Like the ones with toys and snacks. +Lily and Tom liked to play with their toy trains. They had many engines of different colors and sizes. They made tracks on the floor and pretended to be drivers. + +One day, they found a new engine in a box. It was shiny and red, and it had a button on the side. Lily wanted to try it, but Tom was not sure. + +"What does the button do?" he asked. + +"I don't know. Let's find out!" Lily said. She pushed the button and the engine made a loud noise. It started to move by itself on the track. + +"Wow! It's a magic engine!" Lily said. She was happy and playful. She followed the engine with her eyes. + +Tom was scared and hid behind the sofa. He did not like the noise and the movement. He thought the engine was bad. + +"Lily, come here! It's not safe!" he said. + +"No, Tom, it's fun! Don't be afraid. The engine is nice. It just wants to play with us. Trust me!" Lily said. She smiled and waved at the engine. + +The engine saw Lily and beeped. It slowed down and stopped in front of her. It looked at her with its round eyes. + +"Hello, engine. What's your name?" Lily asked. + +The engine beeped again and flashed its lights. It seemed to say hello back. + +Lily touched the engine gently. It felt warm and smooth. She liked it. + +"See, Tom? It's friendly. Come and say hi!" Lily said. + +Tom peeked from behind the sofa. He saw Lily and the engine. They looked happy and playful. He felt curious and brave. + +He came out of his hiding place and walked slowly towards them. + +"Hi, engine. I'm Tom. Sorry I was scared of you. You're very cool." he said. + +The engine beeped and flashed its lights again. It seemed to say thank you and welcome. + +Tom touched the engine too. It felt warm and smooth. He liked it too. + +Lily and Tom became friends with the engine. They played with it and the other toy trains. They had a lot of fun. They learned to trust the engine and each other. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big cactus with many spikes. Tom wanted to touch it, but Lily said no. + +"It will hurt you, Tom. The spikes are very sharp and the cactus is very harsh. It does not like to be touched," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He thought he was brave and he wanted to perform a trick. He said, "Watch me, Lily. I can touch the cactus and not feel any pain. I am very strong and cool." + +He reached out his hand and touched the cactus. But he was wrong. The cactus was very harsh and it hurt him a lot. He cried out loud and pulled back his hand. It was bleeding and had many spikes in it. + +Lily ran to him and helped him. She said, "I told you, Tom. The cactus is not a toy. You should not touch it. You should listen to your friends and be careful. That is how you can be brave and cool." + +Tom felt sorry and said, "You are right, Lily. I was silly and I did not listen. I am sorry. The cactus is not a toy. It is a plant that lives in the park. I will not touch it again. I will listen to you and be careful. Thank you for helping me." + +Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome, Tom. I am glad you are okay. You are my friend and I care about you. Come on, let's go and find a band-aid for your hand." + +They walked away from the cactus and went to find a band-aid. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect the cactus and to listen to their friends. They learned to be brave and cool in a good way. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and stories with their cars, dolls, and blocks. Sara likes to make symbols with her blocks. She stacks them up and says what they mean. Ben likes to knock them down and laugh. + +"Look, Ben, this is a symbol for a house. It has a roof and a door and a window," Sara says, showing him her block tower. + +"That's not a house, that's a pile of blocks," Ben says, and pushes it over with his car. + +"Hey, don't do that! You ruined my symbol!" Sara says, and starts to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Sara, I was just playing. Don't cry, please," Ben says, and hugs her. + +Sara stops crying and hugs him back. She feels his warm body and his soft hair. She smiles and says, "It's OK, Ben, I forgive you. You are my brother and I love you." + +"I love you too, Sara. You are my sister and my friend," Ben says. + +They hug for a while and then start to play again. They decide to make a new symbol together. They use all their blocks and make a big heart.

They wish that their symbol will always stay strong and warm. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben saw Lily's doll and wanted to play with it. + +"Give me your doll!" Ben said. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. + +Ben grabbed the doll and pulled it hard. Lily cried and tried to get it back. The doll's arm ripped off and some stuffing came out. + +"Look what you did! You destroyed my doll!" Lily shouted. + +Ben saw a needle on the table. He had an idea. He picked up the needle and poked the doll's eye. + +"Ha ha, your doll is fake! It has no real eye!" Ben said. + +Lily screamed and ran to their mom. She told her what Ben did. Mom was angry and took the needle from Ben. She scolded him and made him say sorry to Lily. She also gave him a time out in his room. + +Mom hugged Lily and fixed her doll.

She forgave Ben and hoped he would be nicer next time. She cuddled her doll and played with it again. +Anna and Ben are going to the park with Mom. They like the park. It has swings and slides and a big sandbox. They put on their hats and shoes and get in the car. + +Mom drives the car on the road. There are many other cars on the road. They make loud noises and go fast. Anna and Ben see red and green lights. Mom says they are traffic lights. They tell the cars when to stop and when to go. + +Sometimes the cars have to stop for a long time. Mom says there is traffic. Traffic means too many cars on the road. Anna and Ben get bored. They want to play at the park. They ask Mom how long it will take. Mom says she does not know. She looks anxious. Anxious means worried or nervous. + +Anna and Ben decide to help Mom. They sing songs and tell jokes. They make Mom laugh and smile. They say nice things to Mom. They say they love her and they are proud of her. Mom says they are sweet and kind.

Mommy and Daddy had put them in big boxes. They said they were moving to a new house. Lily did not like the new house. She liked her old house. It had a nice carpet where she could sit and play. + +"Mommy, where are my toys?" Lily asked. + +"They are in the truck, sweetie. We will get them out when we get to the new house," Mommy said. + +"But I want them now!" Lily said. She started to cry. + +Mommy hugged Lily and said, "I know, honey. It's hard to leave your old house. But the new house will be nice too. It will have a carpet too, and a big yard, and a new room for you. And you will make new friends there. Don't you want to see the new house?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to see the new house. She wanted to stay in her old house. She wanted her toys. She wanted her carpet. She cried louder. + +Daddy came in and said, "What's wrong, Lily?" + +"Mommy took my toys!" Lily said. + +"No, I didn't, sweetie. They are in the truck, remember?" Mommy said. + +"Lily, we have to go now. The truck is waiting for us. Come on, let's get in the car. We will be there soon," Daddy said. + +He picked up Lily and carried her to the car.

She wanted her old house. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of soldiers. The soldiers were green and brown and had guns and hats. Ben and Lily made forts and battles with the soldiers on the floor. + +One day, Ben and Lily had a fight. Ben wanted to use all the green soldiers, but Lily wanted some too. They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other. "Give me the green soldiers!" Ben said. "No, they are mine!" Lily said. They did not share or take turns. + +Then, Ben did a bad thing. He grabbed a green soldier from Lily's hand and tore it. The soldier's arm came off and fell on the floor. Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and hit Ben. "You are mean! You broke my soldier!" she said. + +Ben felt sorry and scared. He did not mean to break the soldier. He wanted to make Lily happy again. He looked at the soldier's arm and had an idea. He ran to his room and got some tape. He came back and said to Lily, "I am sorry, Lily. I was bad. I can fix your soldier. Look, I have tape. Can I try?" + +Lily stopped crying and looked at Ben. She saw the tape and the soldier's arm. She was still mad, but she wanted her soldier back. She nodded and said, "Okay, Ben. You can try. But be careful. He is my good soldier." + +Ben smiled and took the soldier and the tape. He put the arm back on the soldier and wrapped the tape around it. He gave the soldier back to Lily and said, "Here, Lily. Your soldier is fixed. He is good again. Can we play together?" + +Lily took the soldier and looked at him. He was not the same as before, but he was still her soldier. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are good too. Yes, we can play together. But we have to share and take turns." + +Ben and Lily hugged and said sorry to each other. They put the soldiers back in the box and made a new game. They were happy and friends again. +Anna likes to do yoga with her mom. Yoga is when you move your body in different ways and breathe slowly. Anna thinks yoga is fun and makes her feel good. + +One day, Anna and her mom are doing yoga on the mat. Mom shows Anna how to lift her legs up in the air and balance on her hands. "This is called a handstand," mom says. "It is good for your arms and your back. Can you try it?" + +Anna nods and tries to lift her legs up like mom. But she feels scared and wobbly. She falls down on the mat and giggles. "That is hard, mom," she says. "How do you do it?" + +Mom smiles and hugs Anna. "It is hard, but you can do it if you practice. You are very flexible, Anna. That means your body can bend and stretch easily. Being flexible is good for your health and your happiness. Do you want to try again?" + +Anna nods again and gets up. She feels brave and excited. She puts her hands on the mat and lifts her legs up slowly. She feels mom holding her feet gently. She looks at mom and smiles. "I did it, mom! I did a handstand!" + +Mom claps and cheers.

They wanted to pet the rabbit, so they ran after it. + +"Hello, rabbit!" Lily said. "Can we be your friends?" + +The rabbit stopped and looked at them. It twitched its nose and ears. It seemed curious. + +"Sure, you can be my friends," the rabbit said. "But you have to be gentle and quiet. I don't like loud noises or rough touches." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They sat down next to the rabbit and stroked its soft fur. The rabbit liked it and closed its eyes. + +Suddenly, Ben felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to hold it in, but he couldn't. He sneezed very loudly. + +"Achoo!" + +The rabbit jumped and ran away. It was scared of the noise. + +"Sorry, rabbit!" Ben shouted. "I didn't mean to scare you!" + +Lily and Ben looked for the rabbit, but they couldn't find it. They felt sad. + +"Maybe the rabbit will come back later," Lily said. "We can try to be more quiet next time." + +Ben nodded. He hoped the rabbit would forgive him. He still wanted to be its friend. +Sara likes to write stories. She has a book and a pen.

I like it very much." + +But as soon as the bird said that, Sam pounced on him and bit him. He said, "I like it too, bird. But I like you more. You are my lunch."

You are not my friend anymore," Tom said. He turned his back to Lily and licked his ice-cream. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She thought Tom was a bad friend. She did not want to play with him anymore.

She had played a lot with her toys and her dog. She wanted to go to bed, but she had to brush her teeth first. She went to the bathroom and picked up her toothbrush. + +She turned on the tap and waited for the water to come out. But nothing happened. She turned the tap more and more, but still no water. She was confused. Why was there no water? She yawned and rubbed her eyes. + +She heard a voice from downstairs. It was her mom. "Lily, come here, please. There is something I need to tell you." + +Lily put down her toothbrush and walked to the stairs. She saw her mom holding a flashlight. "What's going on, mom?" she asked. + +"Sweetie, there is a big storm outside. The wind and the rain have made the power go out. That's why there is no light and no water. We have to wait until the storm is over and the power comes back." + +Lily felt scared. She did not like the dark and the noise.

They cut out the doors with scissors. They said, "This is our house. It is nice and cozy. Our animals can live here." + +They tried to put their animals in the house. Ben put the lion in first. He said, "Lion fits in the house. He can sleep on the floor. He can look out the window. He is happy." + +Lila tried to put the elephant in next. She said, "Elephant does not fit in the house. He is too big. His nose and ears stick out. He cannot go in. He is sad." + +Ben said, "Maybe we can make the house bigger. We can find another box and tape it to this one. Then elephant can fit in the house. He can be happy too." + +Lila said, "That is a good idea. Let's do that. Then we can play with our animals. They can be friends." + +They went to look for another box. They saw a lemonade stand. They said, "We are thirsty. Let's buy some lemonade. It is sweet and cold. It will make us feel good." + +They went to the lemonade stand. They saw a girl selling lemonade. She said, "Hello. Do you want some lemonade? It is only one penny a cup. It is the best lemonade in the world." + +They said, "Yes, please. We want some lemonade. We have two pennies. We can buy two cups." + +They gave the girl their pennies. She gave them two cups of lemonade. They said, "Thank you. You are very nice." + +They drank their lemonade. They made a face. They said, "Yuck. This lemonade is not sweet and cold. It is bitter and warm. It does not make us feel good. It makes us feel bad." + +The girl said, "I'm sorry. I ran out of sugar and ice. I only had lemons and water. I thought you would not notice. I wanted to make more money." + +They said, "That is not fair. You tricked us. You should not lie to people. You should give us our pennies back. Or give us some real lemonade." + +The girl said, "No. I will not give you your pennies back. Or give you some real lemonade. You already drank your lemonade. You cannot have more. Go away." + +They said, "You are mean. We do not like you. We will not buy your lemonade again. We will tell our friends not to buy your lemonade either. You will not make more money. You will lose money." + +They left the lemonade stand. They were angry and sad. They said, "We do not have another box. We do not have more pennies. We cannot make the house bigger. We cannot fit the elephant in the house. We cannot play with our animals. We cannot be happy." + +They went back to their house. They saw the elephant waiting for them. He said, "Hello. I missed you. Where did you go?" + +They said, "We went to buy some lemonade. But it was bitter and warm. And the girl was mean and lied to us. And we do not have another box. And we cannot fit you in the house. And we are not happy." + +The elephant said, "I'm sorry. That sounds bad. But you do not need another box. Or lemonade. Or a mean girl. You have me. And I have you. And we are friends. And that is enough. And that makes me happy." + +He hugged them with his nose. They hugged him back. They said, "You are right. We have you. And you have us. And we are friends. And that is enough.

What is measure?" + +Anna says, "Measure is when you see how long or how tall something is. Look, this ruler has numbers. They tell you how many inches something is. I want to see how many inches you are." + +Coco says, "Inches? What are inches?" + +Anna says, "Inches are these little lines on the ruler. See, one, two, three, four, and so on.

She hugs him and kisses his finger. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Mia asks. + +"Yes, I am okay, Mia," Ben says. "But the bald duck is mean. It does not want my scarf." + +"Maybe the bald duck likes its head the way it is," Mia says. "Maybe it does not need a scarf." + +"Maybe you are right, Mia," Ben says. "But I still like my scarf. It is warm and soft." + +They pick up the scarf and the bread. They go back to their house. They have hot chocolate and cookies. They are happy. They are still friends. +Anna was very sick.

She was scared of the hospital, but she was glad the doctor was kind. Her mom took her to a room with a bed and a window. She tucked her in and read her a story. + +"Mom, will I be healthy again?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, my sweetie," her mom said. "You just need some time to heal. I will stay with you until you do." + +Anna smiled and closed her eyes. She felt sleepy and warm. She hoped she would be healthy again and play with her friends. She loved her mom and the doctor. She was happy they cared for her. She fell asleep and dreamed of sunny days. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they were having lunch with their mom. Mom gave them each a tray with a sandwich, a fruit and a juice. She said, "Eat well, my loves. You need to be strong and healthy." + +Tom and Lily nodded and started to eat. But Tom was in a hurry. He wanted to finish fast and go back to his toys. He ate his sandwich in big bites, drank his juice in one gulp and threw his fruit away. He did not care about his tray. He said, "I'm done, Mom. Can I go now?" + +Lily was not in a hurry. She wanted to enjoy her lunch and be polite. She ate her sandwich in small bites, drank her juice in sips and ate her fruit slowly. She cared about her tray. She said, "Thank you, Mom. This is very yummy." + +Mom smiled at Lily and said, "You're welcome, sweetie. You are a good girl." She looked at Tom and said, "Tom, you are not done. You have to eat your fruit and clean your tray. You cannot waste food and make a mess. You have to be respectful and grateful." + +Tom pouted and said, "But Mom, I don't like fruit. And I want to play. Why do I have to do that?" + +Mom said, "Because fruit is good for you. And because you have to care about your things and the things of others. If you don't care, you will not be happy or make others happy. You have to learn to be responsible and kind." + +Tom thought about what Mom said. He realized that he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. You are right. I will eat my fruit and clean my tray. And I will care more from now on." + +Mom hugged Tom and said, "I'm glad you understand, my love. I'm proud of you. Now you can go and play with Lily. But remember to share and be nice." + +Tom and Lily hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. You are the best." They took their trays to the sink and washed them. Then they went to play with their toys. They cared about each other and had fun. They learned to be good children. +Anna likes to draw pictures with her crayons. She draws flowers, animals, houses and people. She is very good at drawing. She shows her pictures to her mom and dad. They smile and say, "Wow, Anna, you are a great artist!" They applaud for her. Anna feels happy. + +One day, Anna gets a letter in the mail. It is from her grandma. Grandma lives far away. She cannot visit Anna often. Anna opens the letter. Inside, there is a card with a picture of a butterfly. Grandma writes, "Dear Anna, I miss you very much. I saw this butterfly in my garden. It was very interesting. It had many colors and patterns. I thought you would like it. I hope you are having fun. Love, Grandma." + +Anna loves the card. She thinks the butterfly is very interesting too. She wants to thank grandma for the card. She decides to draw a picture for her. She takes her crayons and paper. She draws a big flower with a bee on it. She writes, "Dear Grandma, thank you for the card. I like the butterfly. It is very interesting. I drew a flower and a bee for you. I hope you like it. I miss you too. Love, Anna." + +She puts the picture in an envelope. She writes grandma's name and address on it. She asks her mom to help her put a stamp on it. They go to the post office. They put the envelope in a big box. The box says, "Post". Anna waves to the box. She says, "Bye bye, picture. Have a good trip. See you soon, grandma." + +Mom hugs Anna. She says, "You are very sweet, Anna. Grandma will be very happy to get your picture. You are a great artist and a great granddaughter." She applauds for her. Anna feels happy. +Lily liked to look at the vase on the shelf. It was big and blue and had flowers on it. It was impressive. She wanted to touch it and hold it, but Mommy said no. Mommy said the vase was fragile and could break easily. + +One day, when Mommy was busy in the kitchen, Lily saw the vase on the shelf. She climbed on a chair and reached for it. She was careful, but the vase was heavy and slippery. It fell from her hands and crashed on the floor. It broke into many pieces. Lily was scared and sad. + +Mommy heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken vase and Lily crying. She was angry and upset. She said to Lily, "Why did you do that? I told you not to touch the vase. It was very special to me. It was a gift from Grandma. Now it is gone. You have to listen to me and not repeat your mistakes." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said to Mommy, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I just wanted to see the vase. It was so impressive. I didn't mean to break it. Please forgive me." + +Mommy hugged Lily and said, "I forgive you, Lily. I know you didn't do it on purpose. But you have to be more careful and obedient. The vase was not a toy. It was a treasure. Some things are not meant to be touched. They are meant to be admired from a distance. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, Mommy. I will not touch the vase again. I will only look at it. I will learn from my mistake." + +Mommy smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. I love you. And I still have another vase in the closet. It is not as impressive as the one you broke, but it is also a gift from Grandma. Maybe we can put it on the shelf and enjoy it together." + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, Mommy. Thank you for the new vase. It is also impressive. Can we put some flowers in it?" + +Mommy said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go to the garden and pick some flowers. And be careful with the chair. Don't climb on it again." + +Lily said, "OK, Mommy. I will be careful. And I will listen to you. And I will not repeat my mistake." +Sara liked to help her mom bake cookies. She liked to mix the flour and the sugar and the eggs. She liked to roll the dough and cut out shapes. She liked to put the cookies on the tray and watch them go in the oven. + +Mom said the oven was very hot and Sara should not touch it. Sara knew that, but she was very excite to see the cookies. She wanted to smell them and taste them. She wanted to share them with her dad and her brother. She thought they would be very good. + +Mom said the cookies would be ready soon and went to get a plate. Sara saw the oven light turn off. She thought that meant the cookies were done. She wanted to see them. She forgot what mom said. She opened the oven door. + +Sara felt a blast of hot air. She screamed. Mom heard her and ran to the kitchen. She saw Sara holding her hand and crying. She saw the cookies still on the tray. She saw the oven door open. + +Mom hugged Sara and said, "Oh, Sara, what did you do? You hurt yourself. You should have waited for me. The oven is very hot. You should not touch it." She took Sara to the sink and ran cold water over her hand. She said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I know you were excite, but you have to be careful. The cookies are not worth it. You are more important. You are my good girl." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They saw a big hill with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the hole," Tom said. "Maybe we can find treasure." + +"OK, but be careful," Lily said. "It might be dark and scary." + +They took their ball and walked to the hole. They looked inside. It was very dark. They could not see anything. + +"Hello, is anyone there?" Tom shouted. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. It sounded like a monster. + +"RAWR!" the roar said. + +Lily and Tom were very scared. They dropped their ball and ran away from the hole. + +"Help, help!" they cried. + +An elderly man was sitting on a bench near the park. He heard the children's cries and saw them running. He got up and went to help them. + +"What's wrong, children?" he asked. "Why are you so scared?" + +"There's a monster in the hole!" Lily said. "It roared at us!" + +"A monster?" the man said. "Are you sure?" + +He walked to the hole and looked inside. He saw something shiny in the dark. He reached in and pulled it out. + +It was not a monster. It was a diamond. A big, beautiful diamond. + +"Look, children," he said. "This is not a monster. This is a diamond. Someone must have lost it here. It's very valuable." + +He showed the diamond to Lily and Tom. They were amazed. They had never seen such a big and shiny stone. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily said. + +"Can we keep it?" Tom asked. + +The man smiled. He was very kind. + +"No, children," he said. "This diamond does not belong to us. We have to find the owner and give it back. Maybe they will reward us for being honest." + +Lily and Tom agreed. They were not scared anymore. They were happy. + +They took the diamond and the ball and followed the man. They hoped to find the owner of the diamond and make a new friend. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, animals and more with their blocks. + +One day, they find a new block in their toy box. It is very big and shiny. It has many sides and a number on each side. They have never seen a block like this before. They think it is rare and special. + +"Wow, look at this block!" Sam says. "It is so cool! I want to play with it!" + +"Me too!" Ben says. "Let's share it!" + +But Sam and Ben do not agree on how to share it. Sam wants to keep it for himself. He says it is his turn to choose a block. Ben wants to take turns with it. He says it is fair to share. + +They start to argue and pull the block. They are not nice to each other. They are not happy. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is their teacher, Miss Lee. She comes to see what is wrong. + +"What are you doing, boys?" she asks. "Why are you fighting over this block?" + +Sam and Ben tell her their problem. They both want the rare block. They do not want to share. + +Miss Lee looks at the block. She smiles. She has an idea. + +"Do you know what this block is?" she asks. "It is a dice. You can use it to play games. You can roll it and see what number comes up. You can count the numbers. You can make patterns. You can have fun with it." + +Sam and Ben are curious. They have never played with a dice before. They want to try it. + +Miss Lee shows them how to play. She gives them some rules. They have to take turns to roll the dice. They have to say the number out loud. They have to clap their hands if they get a six. They have to be kind and respectful to each other. + +Sam and Ben decide to follow the rules. They roll the dice and see the numbers. They count and clap and laugh. They have fun with the dice. They forget about their fight. They are nice to each other. They are happy. + +Miss Lee is proud of them. She says, "You see, boys, sharing is caring. When you share, you can make new friends, learn new things, and have more fun. Sharing is a good thing to do." + +Sam and Ben agree. They thank Miss Lee for teaching them. They hug each other and say sorry. They are friends again. + +They keep playing with the dice and the blocks. They share them with the other kids. They have a good day. +Lily and Max are playing in their room. They have many toys and books and dolls. They like to make stories with their toys and pretend they are heroes and princesses and animals. + +One day, they hear a loud noise from outside. They look out the window and see a big truck. The truck is red and shiny and has a hanger on the back. The hanger has many clothes inside. Lily and Max wonder who the truck belongs to and what the clothes are for. + +They rush to the door and ask their mom if they can go outside and see the truck. Their mom says yes, but they have to be careful and not touch anything. She says the truck is from a circus and the clothes are costumes for the clowns and acrobats and animals. + +Lily and Max are very excited. They love the circus and they want to see the costumes. They run outside and follow their mom to the truck. The truck driver is very nice and lets them look at the hanger. He says they can try on some costumes if they want. + +Lily and Max are very happy. They choose some costumes and put them on. Lily picks a pink dress with flowers and a hat with feathers. She looks like a cute fairy. Max picks a blue suit with stars and a cape with a big M. He looks like a brave superhero. + +They show their mom and the truck driver their costumes. They say they want to join the circus and perform with the clowns and acrobats and animals. Their mom and the truck driver laugh and say they are very cute and funny. They take pictures of them and give them some candy. They say they have to go back to their room and take off the costumes. They say the circus will start soon and they can watch it from their window. + +Lily and Max say thank you and goodbye to the truck driver. They go back to their room and take off the costumes. They put them back on the hanger and hang it on the door. They say they had a lot of fun and they want to see the circus. They sit on their bed and look out the window. They see the truck drive away and the circus tent rise up. They clap their hands and smile. They can't wait to see the show. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the colorful blocks. But Tom had more blocks than Lily, and he did not want to share them. He was jealous of Lily's blocks, even though he had enough for himself. + +"Give me your blocks, Lily!" Tom said. "They are mine!" + +"No, Tom, they are mine!" Lily said. "You have your own blocks!" + +Tom was angry. He grabbed Lily's blocks and threw them across the room. The blocks scattered everywhere, making a loud noise. Some of them hit the gray sofa, some of them hit the wall, and some of them hit the floor. + +"Tom, stop it!" Lily cried. "That's not nice!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the crying children. She was not happy. + +"Tom, what did you do?" Mom asked. "Why did you scatter Lily's blocks?" + +"Because I wanted them!" Tom said. "They are better than mine!" + +Mom shook her head. "Tom, that's not how we play. You have to share and be kind to your sister. You have enough blocks for yourself. And Lily's blocks are not better than yours. They are just different. Look, they have different shapes and sizes and colors. You can make different things with them. How about you say sorry to Lily and help her pick up the blocks?" + +Tom felt sorry. He knew he was wrong. He looked at Lily and said, "Sorry, Lily. I was jealous of your blocks. Can we play together?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. Yes, we can play together. Here, you can have some of my blocks." + +Tom and Lily hugged and thanked Mom. Then they picked up the blocks and started to build together. They made a big castle with a bridge and a tower. They used all the blocks, the colorful ones and the gray ones. They had fun and they were happy. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the woods near their house. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in," said Tim. He was brave and curious. + +"No, let's not," said Sam. He was scared and careful. "It might be dark and dangerous." + +But Tim did not listen. He ran to the hole and jumped in. Sam followed him. He did not want to be alone. + +Inside the hole, it was dark and cold. They could not see anything. They heard a loud growl. Something was in there with them. Something big and rough and hungry. + +It was a bear. It smelled the boys and moved towards them. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. It bit Tim and Sam. It tore their skin and bones. It ate them up. + +The boys screamed and cried. But no one heard them. No one came to help them. They were gone. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. He had a favorite jacket that he wore all the time. One day, he accidentally ripped it while playing outside. Timmy was sad because he loved his jacket so much. +
