He looked at his hand and saw it was turning red and purple. He screamed and dropped the skull. Mia felt a pain in her head. She looked at her face and saw it was turning green and yellow. She screamed and fell to the ground. Mom and dad tried to help them, but it was too late. The curse had killed them. The skull laughed and said, "I told you not to touch me. Now you are mine." The end. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big igloo with snow blocks. They are very happy. + +But then, a new kid comes. His name is Max. He has a red coat and a blue hat. He sees the igloo and says, "I want to play in the igloo. It is mine now." + +Lila and Ben are sad and angry. They say, "No, it is not yours. We made it. You can play with us, but you have to share." + +Max is bossy. He says, "No, I don't want to share. I want the whole igloo. Go away. Or I will break it." + +Lila and Ben are scared. They don't want to lose their igloo. They don't know what to do. + +Then, they see Sam. Sam is a big kid. He is nice and strong. He likes to help.

You can't tell me what to do. I can do what I want." + +Sam says, "No, you can't. You have to be nice and polite. If you want to play in the igloo, you have to ask Lila and Ben. Maybe they will lend it to you for a while. But you have to give it back when they want it. That is how you make friends." + +Max thinks for a moment. He says, "Okay, fine. I will ask them. Can I play in the igloo, please?" + +Lila and Ben smile. They say, "Sure, you can play in the igloo. But you have to share and be nice.

He came to her and said, "Hi, I'm Sam. Do you want to play with me and my friends?" + +Lila was surprised. She did not know what to say. She felt her face turn red. She put her thumb in her mouth. It was a habit she had when she was nervous. + +Sam saw her thumb and said, "That's okay. I used to suck my thumb too. It makes you feel warm and safe, right?" + +Lila nodded. She felt a little less scared. She took her thumb out of her mouth and said, "Yes, it does. But my mom says I should stop. She says it's not good for my teeth." + +Sam shrugged. "My mom said the same thing. But I stopped when I was ready. You will too. Don't worry about it. Everyone has something they do to feel better. Some kids have blankets, some have toys, some have songs. What matters is that you are happy and kind." + +Lila smiled. She liked Sam. He was nice and funny. He did not make fun of her thumb. He accepted her as she was. She said, "Thank you, Sam. You are very kind. I would like to play with you and your friends." + +Sam grinned. He took her hand and said, "Great! Come on, let's go. We are playing tag. You can be on my team." + +Lila felt happy. She had made a new friend. She ran with Sam to join the other kids. She felt warm and safe. She did not need her thumb anymore. She had Sam. +Tim and Lily were playing with a rope in the garden. They wanted to make a swing on the big tree. Tim tried to tie the rope to a branch, but he did not know how to make a good knot. + +"Look, I made a knot!" he said to Lily. + +Lily looked at the rope and shook her head. "That is not a knot, that is a mess. The rope will come off and you will fall down. That is not safe." + +"Then how do I make a knot?" Tim asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She remembered that her dad had taught her how to make a knot once. She took the rope from Tim and showed him how to twist and loop it. + +"See, this is a knot. It is strong and tight. It will not come off. This is how you make a swing." + +Tim watched Lily and tried to copy her. He made a knot like hers and pulled on the rope. It did not come off. + +"Wow, you are smart, Lily. You know how to make a knot. Thank you for showing me." + +Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome, Tim. Now we can have fun on the swing. But be careful, do not swing too high or too fast. That is not safe either." + +Tim nodded and said, "OK, Lily. I will swing slow and low. You can swing first, then I will swing. I recommend that we take turns." + +Lily agreed and they both climbed on the swing. They pushed each other and laughed. They had a lot of fun on the swing.

But one day, Spot was not happy. He did not want to eat or run or fetch. He just lay on his bed and made sad noises. + +Lily was worried. She asked her mom, "What is wrong with Spot? Why is he not happy?" + +Her mom said, "I think he is hurt. He might have a bad tooth or a sore paw. We need to take him to the veterinarian. She is a nice lady who helps animals feel better." + +Lily nodded. She wanted Spot to feel better. She helped her mom put Spot in the car and drove to the veterinarian's office.

You have to be calm and let me help you." + +Lily heard Dr. Lee's cry and ran to the room. She saw Spot on the table and Dr. Lee holding her hand. She saw blood on her hand and on Spot's mouth. + +Lily felt sorry for both of them. She hugged Spot and said, "Spot, I love you. Please don't snap at Dr. Lee. She is trying to help you. She is not a bad lady. She is a good lady. Please be nice to her." + +Spot heard Lily's voice and felt her hug. He calmed down and stopped snapping.

She is very happy and shows it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, a butterfly! It is so pretty and soft!" Sara says. + +Tom wants to see the butterfly too. He reaches out his hand to touch it. But he is too rough and the butterfly flies away. + +"Tom, you scared it! Why did you do that?" Sara cries. + +Tom feels bad. He did not mean to scare the butterfly.

They pretended to cook and bake with pots and pans and spoons and bowls. Sometimes they made a big mess, but they always cleaned up before Mom came home. + +One day, they found a new toy in the kitchen. It was a big round thing that spun very fast. They thought it was a fun game to spin it and then try to walk. They laughed and giggled as they felt dizzy and wobbly. + +But they did not behave very well.

She asked Lily and Max what they did and why they did not behave. They said they were sorry and they did not mean to break anything. They said they just wanted to play with the round thing. + +Mom told them that the round thing was not a toy. It was a salad spinner that she used to wash lettuce. She said it was dangerous to spin it so fast and throw it around. She said they could have hurt themselves or someone else. She said they had to learn to be careful and respectful in the kitchen. + +Lily and Max felt very sorry and ashamed. They hugged Mom and said they loved her. They said they would never play with the salad spinner again. They said they would help Mom clean up the mess and fix the broken things. They said they would behave better in the kitchen from now on. + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said she loved them too. She said she was glad they were safe and sorry. She said they could still play in the kitchen, but only with safe and proper toys. She said they could also help her cook and bake sometimes, if they behaved well.

They see many flowers and bugs and birds. + +"Look, Ben, a rainbow!" Anna says. She points to the sky. She sees many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. They are like a big smile in the sky. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Ben says. He runs to the rainbow. He wants to touch it. He thinks it is soft and sweet. + +"Ben, wait!" Anna says. She runs after him. She knows the rainbow is far away. She knows you cannot touch it. She wants to tell Ben. + +But Ben does not listen. He runs and runs and runs. He is crazy. He thinks he can catch the rainbow. He does not see the road. He does not see the car. + +"Ben, stop!" Anna says. She is scared. She is close to Ben. She grabs his hand. She pulls him back. She saves him. + +The car honks. The driver is angry. He shouts at Ben. He says bad words. He says Ben is stupid. + +Ben is sad. He cries. He says he is sorry. He says he just wanted the rainbow. + +Anna hugs him.

It is narrow and winding and has many trees and flowers. + +"Let's go and see where it leads," Ben says. He is curious and adventurous. + +"No, I don't want to," Anna says. She is scared and cautious. "It looks dark and strange. Maybe there are monsters or snakes." + +Ben laughs. "Don't be silly, Anna. There are no monsters or snakes in the park. Come on, it will be fun and interesting. Maybe we will find a treasure or a fairy." + +Anna shakes her head. She refuses to go with Ben. She stays on the grass and plays with her doll. + +Ben shrugs. He goes on the path alone. He walks and walks and sees many things. He sees a butterfly, a squirrel, a pond, a bridge, a rainbow. He is happy and excited. + +But after a while, he misses Anna. He wants to share his discoveries with her. He wants to play with her. He turns back and runs to find her. + +"Anna, Anna, where are you?" he calls. + +"I'm here, Ben," Anna answers. She is still on the grass, but she is bored and lonely. She sees Ben coming and smiles. + +"Ben, you're back. Did you find anything interesting?" she asks. + +"Yes, I did. I saw a butterfly, a squirrel, a pond, a bridge, a rainbow. It was amazing. Do you want to see them too?" he asks. + +Anna nods. She is not scared anymore. She is curious and adventurous too. + +"OK, let's go together. Maybe we will find a treasure or a fairy," she says. + +They hold hands and go on the path. They have fun and interesting adventures.

They smiled and hugged her. The doctor came and said the operation was done. He said Anna would feel better soon. Anna looked at her tummy. She saw a bandage. She touched it. It felt different. + +Mommy said the bandage was to help her heal. She said Anna was brave and strong. She said they would go home soon. Anna smiled. She was happy. She wanted to go home and play with her teddy bear and read her book. She said thank you to the doctor. She said she loved Mommy and Daddy. They said they loved her too. +Lily loved animals very much. She wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. She liked to help her mom take care of their dog, Spot, and their cat, Fluffy. She also liked to read books about different animals and learn new things. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the library to borrow some books. Lily saw a book with a picture of a playful dolphin on the cover. She asked her mom if she could take it home. + +"Sure, honey, you can take that book. It looks like a fun book to read. Do you know what a dolphin is?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, I know. A dolphin is a big fish that can jump and make noises. It lives in the water and has a fin on its back. It is very smart and friendly," Lily said. + +"That's right, Lily. You are very smart too. You know a lot about animals. I value your curiosity and kindness. You will be a great veterinarian someday," her mom said. + +"Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love animals too. Can we go to the zoo and see some dolphins soon?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, Lily. We can go to the zoo next weekend and see the dolphins and other animals. Maybe you can even talk to a veterinarian there and ask some questions. How does that sound?" her mom said. + +"That sounds awesome, mom. I can't wait. Let's go home and read the book together.

They thought it looked yummy and wanted to try some. + +"Look, Kim, a snack!" Tim said, picking a berry. + +"Wait, Tim, we don't know if it is good or bad," Kim said, feeling scared. + +But Tim did not listen. He put the berry in his mouth and chewed. He made a face and spat it out. It tasted very bad and made his tongue hurt. + +"Yuck, this is poison!" Tim cried, rubbing his mouth. + +Kim ran to get their mom, who was inside the house. She told her what happened and mom came quickly. She gave Tim some water and checked his mouth. She said he was lucky that he did not swallow the poison, or he would be very sick. + +"Tim, you should never eat anything from the garden without asking me first," mom said, hugging him. "Some plants are good, but some are bad. They can make you tired, or sick, or even die. You have to be careful and smart." + +Tim nodded, feeling sorry and ashamed. He realized he had been foolish and naughty. He said sorry to mom and Kim, and promised to never do it again. + +Mom smiled and kissed them both. She said she was glad they were okay, and that she loved them. She said they could have some cookies and milk as a snack, but only after they washed their hands and faces. + +Tim and Kim were happy and grateful. They learned their lesson and never ate anything from the garden without asking mom first. They knew that mom knew best, and that she wanted them to be safe and healthy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to suck her thumb. She sucked her thumb when she was happy, when she was sad, when she was sleepy, and when she was bored.

She wanted her thumb. + +One night, Lily was in her bed, sucking her thumb. She heard a noise outside her window. She looked and saw a big owl with yellow eyes.

It tapped on the glass again and again. It wanted to come in and get Lily's thumb. It liked to eat thumbs, especially brown ones. Lily was very scared. She wanted to call her mom and dad, but she did not want to let go of her thumb. She struggled to decide what to do. + +Then, she had an idea. She took out her thumb from her mouth and threw it at the owl. The owl was surprised. It caught the thumb in its claws and flew away. Lily was happy. She had tricked the owl and saved her thumb. + +She looked at her hand and saw that her thumb was still there. She had not thrown her real thumb, but the brown teddy bear's thumb. She smiled and hugged the teddy bear. She decided that the teddy bear was not so bad after all. She still liked her thumb, but she did not need to suck it all the time. She fell asleep with the teddy bear in her arms. +Anna loves to make soup with her mom. She helps to wash the carrots, peel the potatoes and stir the pot. Mom says she is a good helper. Anna likes to smell the soup. It smells yummy. + +When the soup is ready, mom fills two bowls. One for her and one for Anna. She puts them on the table and says, "Let's eat, Anna.

They were busy and happy. He wished he had a bee friend. + +One day, he saw a man with a big box. The box had many bees inside. The man was selling the bees. Tom ran to the man and asked, "Can I buy a bee, please?" + +The man looked at Tom and smiled. He said, "Sure, you can buy a bee. But you have to be careful. Bees can sting you.

You can race another day." + +Tim and Mia think. They say: "We want to go home. We want to nap. We want to be warm." + +Their moms say: "Okay. Let's go home. You did well.

She had a big, fat panda toy that she hugged every night. She named him Pao Pao. She liked to watch pandas on TV and learn about them. She learned that pandas lived in the forest and ate bamboo. She also learned that some bad people wanted to hurt pandas and take them away. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the zoo. Lily was very excited to see the real pandas. She ran to the panda enclosure and looked for them. She saw two fat pandas sitting on a rock and munching on bamboo. They looked so cute and happy. Lily wanted to hug them, too. + +"Mom, can I go hug the pandas?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, you can't. The pandas need to stay in their home. They are not toys. They are wild animals. They might get scared or angry if you hug them. And there is a fence to protect them and you," her mom explained. + +"But I love pandas. I want to be their friend. Pao Pao is my friend," Lily said. + +"I know, honey, but Pao Pao is different. He is a toy. He can't feel or think. The real pandas can. They have their own feelings and thoughts. They need to be respected and protected. Do you understand?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded, but she still felt sad. She wished she could hug the pandas. She looked at them again and saw that one of them was looking at her. It had big, black eyes and a round, black nose. It seemed to smile at her. Lily smiled back. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She thought that maybe the panda liked her, too. + +She decided to wave at the panda and say hello. She raised her hand and said, "Hi, panda. I'm Lily. I love you." + +The panda tilted its head and made a soft noise. It sounded like "pao pao". Lily gasped. She couldn't believe it. The panda had the same name as her toy. She felt a connection with the panda. She felt that the panda was her friend. + +She looked at her mom and said, "Mom, did you hear that? The panda said 'pao pao'. That's his name. He's Pao Pao, too. He's my friend." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "That's amazing, Lily. You're very lucky. Maybe the panda likes you, too. Maybe he knows that you love pandas and want to protect them. Maybe he's saying thank you." + +Lily felt happy. She felt that she had made a new friend. She felt that she had learned something important. She felt that she had protected the panda with her love. She said, "You're welcome, Pao Pao. I'm glad you're happy. I'll always love you and protect you." +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, our snowman is like a person!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is. But he is very cold. He needs a hug," Ben said. + +They ran to the snowman and hugged him. But the snowman was too cold and too big. He fell down and broke into pieces. Lily and Ben were very sad. + +"Oh no, our snowman is gone!" Lily cried. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break him," Ben said. + +They looked at the snowman's hat and scarf and nose and eyes. They had an idea. + +"Let's pick up the snowman's things and make a new one," Lily said. + +"OK, let's do that. But this time, let's make him smaller and warmer," Ben said. + +They picked up the snowman's things and made a new one. They made him smaller and gave him a coat and gloves and boots. They hugged him gently. He did not fall down. He smiled at them. + +"Look, our new snowman is like a person, too!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is. And he is not very cold. He is happy," Ben said. + +They played with their new snowman until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to him and promised to come back tomorrow. They hoped he would not melt. +Tom is a tall boy who likes to eat bananas. He has a big bunch of bananas in his kitchen. He wants to eat them all by himself. + +But his little sister Lily also likes bananas. She sees Tom holding the bunch and says, "I want a banana too!" + +Tom says, "No, these are my bananas. You are too small to reach them. Go away!" + +Lily feels sad and angry. She thinks of a way to gain a banana. She sees a stool in the corner. She drags it to the kitchen and climbs on it. She reaches for the bananas. + +Tom sees Lily and says, "Hey, stop that! You are cheating!" + +Lily says, "No, I am not cheating. I am smart. I want a banana too!" + +Tom and Lily start to pull the bunch of bananas. They tug and tug. The bananas break and fall on the floor. + +Tom and Lily look at the bananas. They feel sorry and silly.

And you have no space to play." + +Sara and Tom do not want to clean their room. They want to keep playing. They say, "No, Mom, we do not want to clean. We want to play. Cleaning is boring. And we are not sick. We are fine." + +Mom insists. She says, "No, Sara and Tom, you have to clean your room. It is not a choice. It is a rule. If you clean your room, you can play later. And you can have a snack. But if you do not clean your room, you will have no snack and no play. And you will go to bed early." + +Sara and Tom do not like this. They do not want to go to bed early.

You have cleaned your room very well. I am proud of you. Now you can have a snack and play. But not for too long. You must be sleepy after working so hard." + +Sara and Tom are happy too. They have a snack and play. They have fun. But they are also sleepy. They yawn and rub their eyes. They say, "Mom, we are sleepy. Can we go to bed now?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Of course, Sara and Tom. You can go to bed now. You have earned it. Come on, let me tuck you in. Good night, Sara and Tom. I love you." + +Sara and Tom go to bed. They hug Mom. They say, "Good night, Mom. We love you too." They close their eyes. They fall asleep. They dream of their toys and books. And of their clean room. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a hose and a bucket. They want to fill the bucket with water and splash each other. + +"Look, Anna, I can make the water go high!" Ben says. He holds the hose and squeezes the handle. The water shoots out of the hose and makes a rainbow in the sun. + +"Wow, Ben, that's pretty!" Anna says. She claps her hands and laughs. She takes the bucket and runs to the hose. "Can I try, Ben? Please?" + +"Okay, Anna, but be careful. The hose is slippery." Ben says. He gives the hose to Anna and steps back. + +Anna grabs the hose and tries to squeeze the handle. But she is clumsy and the hose slips from her hand. The water sprays everywhere and hits Ben in the face. + +"Ah, Anna, you got me wet!" Ben says. He wipes his eyes and frowns. He feels cold and angry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to!" Anna says. She feels bad and scared. She drops the bucket and runs to Ben. "Are you okay, Ben? Do you still want to play with me?" + +Ben looks at Anna and sees her sad face. He feels sorry for her and forgives her. He smiles and hugs her. + +"It's okay, Anna, I'm not mad at you. You just made a mistake. It was an accident." Ben says. He feels warm and happy. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are a good friend. I'm sorry I was clumsy." Anna says. She feels glad and relieved. + +They pick up the bucket and the hose and start to play again. They fill the bucket with water and splash each other. They laugh and have fun. They feel wet and silly. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They try to make the tallest tower they can. + +"Look, Mia, I have a red block. It is a symbol of fire. Fire is hot and bright," Ben says. + +"That is nice, Ben. I have a blue block. It is a symbol of water. Water is cool and wet," Mia says. + +They put their blocks on top of each other, but the tower falls down. They try again and again, but the tower always falls down. They are restless. They want to succeed. + +"Maybe we need more blocks. Or maybe we need to use different shapes. What do you think, Mia?" Ben asks. + +"I think we need to work together, Ben. If we help each other, we can make a stronger tower. Let's try that," Mia says. + +They agree to work together. They share their blocks and look for the best shapes. They balance the blocks carefully and make a stable base. They build the tower higher and higher, until it reaches the ceiling. They are happy. They succeed. + +"Wow, Mia, we did it! We made the tallest tower ever! It is a symbol of our friendship. Friendship is strong and fun," Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, we did it! We are a good team. We can do anything if we work together. It is a symbol of our success. Success is satisfying and rewarding," Mia says. + +They hug each other and admire their tower. They are not restless anymore.

She felt like a princess. + +One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He saw her jewels and wanted to play with them too. He grabbed a red jewel from her hand and ran away. + +"Hey, give it back!" Anna shouted. She chased him down the hall. "That's mine!" + +"No, it's mine now!" Tom said. He stuck out his tongue. "You have too many jewels. You don't need this one." + +Anna was angry and sad. She loved her red jewel. It was her favorite. She tried to catch Tom, but he was too fast. He ran into the kitchen and hid behind the table. + +"Tom, mind your sister!" their mom said. She saw them running and heard them yelling. "What's going on?" + +"Tom took my jewel!" Anna said. She pointed at him. "He's mean!" + +"Tom, is that true?" their mom asked. She looked at him. "Did you take Anna's jewel?" + +Tom nodded. He felt bad. He knew he did something wrong. He came out from behind the table and gave the jewel back to Anna. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," he said. "I just wanted to play with it. It's so shiny and pretty." + +Anna smiled. She was happy to have her jewel back. She hugged Tom and said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You can play with my jewels, but you have to ask me first. And you have to be careful. They are very special to me." + +"Okay, Anna," Tom said. He hugged her back. "Thank you. You are very kind. And very intelligent. You know how to share and care." + +Their mom smiled too. She was proud of her children. She said, "That's very nice of you, Tom. And you are right, Anna is very intelligent. And so are you. You both learned a good lesson today. Now, how about some cookies?" +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they found a cabin made of logs and stones. They wanted to see how big it was, so they decided to measure it. + +Tom took a long stick and said, "I will measure the door. You measure the window, Lily." He put the stick next to the door and counted, "One, two, three, four, five, six. The door is six sticks long." + +Lily took a shorter stick and said, "I will measure the window. You measure the roof, Tom." She put the stick next to the window and counted, "One, two, three. The window is three sticks long." + +Tom took a longer stick and said, "I will measure the roof. You measure the wall, Lily." He put the stick on the ground and looked at the roof. He said, "The roof is too high. I can't measure it." + +Lily took a shorter stick and said, "I will measure the wall. You measure the floor, Tom." She put the stick on the ground and walked along the wall. She counted, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. The wall is ten sticks long." + +Tom took a longer stick and said, "I will measure the floor. You measure the chimney, Lily." He put the stick on the floor and walked across the cabin. He counted, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. The floor is twelve sticks long." + +Lily took a shorter stick and said, "I will measure the chimney. You measure the fire, Tom." She put the stick on the ground and looked at the chimney. She said, "The chimney is too high. I can't measure it." + +Tom took a longer stick and said, "I will measure the fire. You measure the smoke, Lily." He put the stick near the fire and said, "The fire is hot. I can't measure it." + +Lily took a shorter stick and said, "I will measure the smoke. You measure the air, Tom." She put the stick in the air and said, "The smoke is thin. I can't measure it." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and said, "We measured everything we could, but some things are too high, too hot, or too thin. We can't measure them." + +They were tired from measuring, so they sat down on the floor and rested. They liked the cabin, but they liked their home more. They said, "Let's go back to our home. It is cozy and warm, and we don't need to measure it." They got up and walked back to their home, holding their sticks. They were happy and proud of their measuring adventure. +Tom and Anna are twins who love to play with their toys. They have a big box full of different things, like cars, dolls, books and puzzles. One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a shiny silver ball that makes a strange sound when they shake it. + +"What is this?" Tom asks, holding the ball in his hands. + +"I don't know," Anna says, looking at it with curiosity. "Maybe it is from space." + +"Space?" Tom repeats, wondering what that means. + +"Yes, space. The big, dark place where the stars and the moon are. Maybe someone sent it to us from there," Anna explains. + +"Wow, that is mysterious," Tom says, feeling excited. "Do you think it has a message for us?" + +"Maybe. Let's try to open it and see," Anna suggests. + +They try to pull and twist the ball, but it does not open. It is very hard and smooth. They also try to weigh it, but it is very light. It does not feel like anything they have ever seen before. + +"It is too hard to open," Tom says, feeling frustrated. + +"Maybe we need a tool," Anna says, looking around for something to help them. + +She sees a hammer on the shelf and grabs it. She brings it to Tom and says, "Here, try this." + +Tom takes the hammer and hits the ball with it. He expects it to crack or break, but instead, it makes a loud beep and starts to glow. Tom and Anna are surprised and scared. They drop the ball and the hammer and run away. + +The ball rolls on the floor and stops near the door. It opens by itself and a small voice comes out of it. + +"Hello, Tom and Anna. I am a friendly robot from space. I came to visit you and learn about your planet. Please don't be afraid. I mean no harm. Can we be friends?" +Tom loves his truck. He plays with it every day. He makes it go vroom vroom on the floor. He makes it carry his toys. He makes it go up and down the hills. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He brings his truck with him. He sees a big slide. He wants to go on the slide. He puts his truck on the slide. He says, "Truck, go slide!" He pushes his truck down the slide. + +But his truck goes too fast. It flies off the slide. It lands in the mud. It gets dirty and wet. Tom is sad. He runs to his truck. He picks it up. He says, "Truck, I'm sorry. You're dirty. You need a bath." + +He looks for his mom. He sees her on a bench. He runs to her. He says, "Mom, please help me. My truck is dirty. It needs a bath. Please, please, please." + +His mom smiles. She says, "Don't worry, Tom. We can clean your truck. Come with me. We'll go to the fountain. We'll wash your truck there. Then we'll go home. We'll dry your truck. We'll make it shiny again." + +Tom is happy. He says, "Thank you, mom. You're the best. I love you. I love my truck." He follows his mom to the fountain. He washes his truck. He makes it clean. He makes it happy. + +He goes home with his mom. He dries his truck. He hugs his truck. He says, "Truck, you're my friend. You're fun. You're brave. You're clean. You're sleepy. I'm sleepy too. Let's go to bed." + +He puts his truck on his pillow. He lies down next to his truck. He closes his eyes. He falls asleep. He dreams of his truck. He dreams of the park. He dreams of the slide. He dreams of the mud. He dreams of the fountain. He dreams of his mom. He smiles. He is happy. He is sleepy. He is Tom. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play in their room. They had a big bed with a soft mattress. Sometimes they jumped on the mattress and pretended to be frogs. + +One day, Lily wanted to act like a princess. She put on a pink dress and a crown. She said to Ben, "You are my prince. You have to do what I say." + +Ben did not want to act like a prince. He wanted to act like a pirate. He put on a hat and a sword. He said to Lily, "You are not a princess. You are a prisoner. I will take you to my ship." + +Lily did not like that. She said, "No, you are not a pirate. You are a prince. You have to be nice to me." + +Ben did not listen. He said, "Arrr, I am a pirate. You have to walk the plank." + +He grabbed Lily and tried to push her off the mattress. Lily screamed and kicked. She said, "Help, help, someone save me!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw Lily and Ben fighting on the mattress. She said, "Stop, stop, what are you doing?" + +Lily and Ben stopped and looked at Mom. They said, "We are playing." + +Mom said, "Playing is good, but you have to play nicely. You have to share and take turns. You have to respect each other's choices. You can act like different things, but you have to be kind and gentle." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We will play nicely." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That's good. I love you both. Now, how about you act like a family and have a snack with me?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They decided to act like a princess and a pirate later, but only if they agreed. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big cat with spots. It is a leopard. Sara and Ben like leopards. They want to pet it. + +The leopard is not happy. It does not like people. It growls and shows its teeth. Sara and Ben are scared. They run away. + +But the leopard is fast. It chases them. It catches up with Sara. It bites her arm. Sara screams. Ben cries. + +A man hears them. He has a stick. He hits the leopard. The leopard lets go of Sara. It runs away. + +Sara is hurt. Her arm is bleeding. The man calls for help. He wraps a cloth around her arm. He tells Sara and Ben that they are brave. He takes them to their mom. + +Mom hugs Sara and Ben. She thanks the man. She takes Sara to the doctor. The doctor gives Sara a bandage and a sticker. He tells her that she will be okay. + +Sara and Ben learned a lesson. They will not go near leopards again. They will only look at them in books. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy rockets in the garden. They liked to pretend they were astronauts and explore the stars. They had different rockets of different colors and sizes. + +"Look at my red rocket, Lily. It is very fast and strong. It can fly very high and far. It is a missile," Tom said, showing off his toy. + +Lily was not impressed. She had a blue rocket that was bigger and had more stickers on it. She thought her rocket was better than Tom's. + +"My blue rocket is better, Tom. It is very pretty and shiny. It can fly very high and far too. It is not a missile, it is a spaceship," Lily said, holding her toy. + +Tom and Lily started to argue about whose rocket was better. They did not want to share or play together. They wanted to prove their rockets were the best. + +They decided to have a race. They would launch their rockets from opposite sides of the garden and see which one would fly faster and farther. They counted to three and pushed the buttons on their rockets. + +The rockets zoomed into the air, leaving trails of smoke behind them. They flew very high and far, but then something unexpected happened. The rockets collided in the sky and exploded with a loud bang. Pieces of plastic and stickers rained down on the garden. + +Tom and Lily were shocked and scared. They ran to each other and hugged. They looked at the mess in the garden and felt sad. They had broken their rockets and ruined their game. + +They realized they had been silly and mean. They should have shared and played together. They should have been friends, not enemies. + +They apologized to each other and said they were sorry. They decided to make up and have a snack. They went inside the house and asked their mom for some cookies and milk. + +Their mom was happy to see them get along. She gave them some cookies and milk and said they were delicious. She also gave them a hug and said she loved them. + +She recommended that they play nicely and not fight over their toys. She said that rockets were fun, but friendship was more important. Tom and Lily agreed and nodded. They smiled and ate their cookies and milk. They decided to play something else later. They learned their lesson. +Anna liked to help her mom with the laundry. She would sort the clothes by color and put them in the right baskets. She knew that white clothes went in one basket, dark clothes in another, and red clothes in a different one. She was very good at sorting. + +One day, Anna was helping her mom with the laundry as usual. She saw a red sock in the pile of white clothes. She thought it was funny and decided to put it in the white basket as a joke. She giggled and hid the sock under a shirt. She thought her mom would laugh when she saw it. + +But Anna did not know that red clothes could make white clothes pink. She was too young to understand that. She finished sorting the clothes and went to play with her toys. She was tired from working hard. + +Later, her mom came to the laundry room and started to wash the clothes. She did not see the red sock in the white basket. She put the clothes in the washing machine and turned it on. She was tired from doing chores. + +When the washing machine was done, her mom opened it and saw that all the white clothes were pink. She was shocked and angry. She looked for the red sock and found it under a shirt. She realized that Anna had put it there as a joke. She was not amused. + +She called Anna and showed her the pink clothes. She explained to her that red clothes could make white clothes pink. She told her that it was not funny and that she had to be careful when sorting the clothes. She made her help her fix the clothes with bleach. Anna was sorry and sad. She learned her lesson. She never put red clothes in the white basket again. +Tom and Lily like to play soccer in the park. They have a large ball and two small goals. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score in the other goal. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. He sees the ball and thinks it is a toy. He runs to the ball and grabs it with his teeth. He pulls the ball away from Tom and Lily. He runs to the other side of the park. + +Tom and Lily are sad. They want their ball back. They chase the dog and call him. "Stop, dog! Give us our ball!" But the dog does not listen. He thinks they want to play with him. He pulls the ball harder and shakes his head. + +Tom and Lily have an idea. They find a stick and throw it. The dog sees the stick and drops the ball. He runs to the stick and catches it.

They see fruits, vegetables, bread, milk, and cookies. They want to look at everything. + +Mom stops at the cheese section. She lets go of Lily and Ben's hands for a moment. She says, "I need to get some cheese. You two stay here and don't move." Lily and Ben say, "Okay, Mom." + +But then, Lily sees something shiny. It is a balloon. It is red and round and has a string. Lily loves balloons. She wants to touch it. She forgets what Mom said. She lets go of Ben's hand and runs to the balloon. + +Ben sees Lily run away. He feels scared. He does not want to separate from Lily. He does not want to lose her. He runs after her. He calls, "Lily, wait! Come back!" + +Mom turns around and sees Lily and Ben are gone. She feels worried. She does not see them anywhere. She looks for them. She calls, "Lily! Ben! Where are you?" + +Lily reaches the balloon. She grabs the string. She feels happy. She smiles. She does not see Mom or Ben. She does not hear them. + +Ben reaches Lily. He sees the balloon. He does not like balloons. He thinks they are loud and scary. He wants Lily to let go of the balloon. He says, "Lily, no! That is a bad balloon. It can pop. It can make a big noise. It can hurt you. Let go of the balloon. Come with me." + +Lily does not listen to Ben. She likes the balloon. She thinks it is pretty and fun. She says, "No, Ben. This is a good balloon. It is red and round and has a string. It makes me happy. I want to keep the balloon. Go away." + +Ben feels sad. He does not understand why Lily does not want to come with him. He does not want to go away. He wants to stay with Lily. He says, "Lily, please. We have to go back to Mom. She is looking for us. She is worried. We have to stay together. We are twins. We are family." + +Lily does not care. She only cares about the balloon. She says, "No, Ben. I don't want to go back to Mom. I don't want to stay with you. I want to stay with the balloon. It is my friend. You are not my friend. You are mean." + +Ben feels hurt. He does not know what to do.

We have to help each other. We have to share. That is what Mom and Dad teach us. That is what good twins do." + +Lily does not listen. She holds the balloon tight. She does not want to share. She does not want to help. She does not want to love. She says, "No, Ben. I don't love you. I love the balloon. It is mine. You can't have it. You can't touch it. You can't talk to it. You can't be near it. You have to go away. Far away." + +Ben feels angry. He does not like what Lily says. He does not like what Lily does. He thinks Lily is selfish and rude. He says, "Fine, Lily. If you don't love me, I don't love you. If you don't want to be with me, I don't want to be with you. If you don't want to share, I don't want to share. If you want to be alone, I will leave you alone. Goodbye, Lily." + +Ben lets go of Lily's hand. He turns around and walks away. He does not look back. He does not see Lily's face.

What happened?" + +Ben tells Mom what happened. He tells her about the balloon. He tells her about the fight. He tells her about the goodbye. He says, "Lily does not love me. She loves the balloon. She does not want to be with me. She +Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play by the river. They saw a big raft made of wood and rope. They wanted to go on the raft and float on the water. + +"Let's go on the raft, it looks fun!" said Lila. + +"I don't know, it looks scary. What if we fall off or get lost?" said Ben. + +"Don't be scared, Ben. We can be brave and careful. I dare you to go on the raft with me!" said Lila. + +Ben did not want to be called scared, so he agreed to go on the raft with Lila. They climbed on the raft and pushed it into the water. They used sticks to paddle and steer the raft. They felt happy and excited. + +But soon, the water became faster and deeper. The raft started to shake and spin. Lila and Ben felt scared and dizzy. They saw rocks and branches in the water. They tried to avoid them, but it was hard. + +"Help! Help! We need to get off the raft!" shouted Lila. + +"Help! Help! We need to find the shore!" shouted Ben. + +They saw a big tree on the riverbank. They paddled hard and reached the tree. They grabbed the branches and pulled themselves off the raft. They climbed down the tree and ran to the shore. They were wet and cold and tired. + +They hugged each other and cried. They were glad they were safe. They learned a lesson. They realized they should not go on the raft without asking their parents or a grown-up. They realized they should not dare each other to do dangerous things. They realized they should listen to their feelings and not be afraid to say no. + +They walked back to their homes and told their parents what happened. Their parents were angry and worried, but also relieved and proud. They hugged Lila and Ben and gave them warm clothes and soup. They told them they loved them and they were brave, but they also told them they were foolish and they should be more careful. Lila and Ben said they were sorry and they understood. They promised to be more responsible and respectful. They thanked their parents and went to bed. They dreamed of the river and the raft, but they also dreamed of their friendship and their family. They were happy and grateful. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a big blouse in the closet that was pink and shiny. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt very pretty and happy. + +She went to show her mom, who was in the kitchen. "Mom, look at me!" she said. "I'm wearing your blouse!" + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "You look very pretty, sweetie. But that blouse is too big for you. It might get dirty or torn if you play with it. Why don't you wear something else?" + +Lily pouted and shook her head. "No, I like this blouse. It's pink and shiny. Please, mom, can I keep it on?" + +Mom sighed and looked at Lily. She saw how much Lily loved the blouse and how hard it was for her to give it up. She decided to let Lily wear it for a little while, but only in the house. "Okay, Lily, you can keep it on. But only for a little while, and only in the house. And you have to be careful with it, okay?" + +Lily nodded and hugged mom. "Thank you, mom. You're the best. I love you and I love your blouse." She ran back to the mirror to admire herself again. Mom smiled and shook her head. She loved Lily and her blouse too. +Anna loves to paint. She has many colors and brushes. She likes to paint flowers and trees and animals. She paints on paper and on the wall. Sometimes she paints on her face and hands. + +One day, Anna wants to paint a picture for her parent. She thinks of what her parent likes. Her parent likes the sun and the sky and the sea. Anna paints a big yellow sun and a blue sky and a green sea. She paints some white clouds and some fish and some boats. + +She is very happy with her picture. She runs to show her parent. Her parent is in the kitchen. Anna says, "Look, look, I made this for you!" She holds up her picture. Her parent smiles and hugs her. Her parent says, "Wow, Anna, this is beautiful! You are a great painter! Thank you for this lovely gift!" + +Anna feels warm and proud. She says, "You are welcome! I love you!" Her parent says, "I love you too!" They hang the picture on the fridge. Anna and her parent are very happy. They paint some more pictures together. They have fun. +Lila and Tom were at the park with their mom. They saw a vendor with a big cart of balloons. The vendor had many colors and shapes of balloons. Lila and Tom wanted a balloon each. + +"Mom, can we have a balloon?" they asked. + +"Sure, you can choose one balloon each. But be careful, they can fly away if you let go of them," mom said. + +Lila and Tom ran to the vendor and looked at the balloons. Lila liked a pink heart balloon. Tom liked a blue star balloon. They gave the vendor some coins and took their balloons. + +"Thank you, vendor!" they said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy your balloons. But remember, they won't fit in your car, so hold them tight," the vendor said. + +Lila and Tom nodded. They were happy with their balloons. They played with them in the park. They made them bounce and dance in the air. They pretended they were flying with them. + +But then, a strong wind came. It blew Lila's balloon away from her hand. Lila cried. + +"Mom, my balloon! It's gone!" she said. + +Mom hugged Lila and said, "I'm sorry, Lila. Sometimes balloons fly away. But you still have Tom and me. We love you." + +Tom felt sorry for Lila. He wanted to make her happy. He had a wise idea. He gave his balloon to Lila. + +"Here, Lila. You can have my balloon. I don't need it. I have you and mom," he said. + +Lila smiled and hugged Tom. She thanked him for his balloon. She said he was a good brother. Mom smiled and hugged them both. She said they were good kids. + +They went back to the car. They held their balloon tight. They made it fit in the car. They went home happy. +Lily and her mom went to the park. It was a mild day, not too hot and not too cold. Lily liked to play on the swings and the slide, but her mom liked to sit on a bench and read a book. + +Lily saw a woman with a big hat and a basket. The woman smiled at Lily and said hello. Lily said hello back and ran to her mom. She asked her mom if she could go and see what was in the basket. + +Her mom said yes, but told her to be polite and not touch anything without asking. Lily nodded and ran back to the woman. The woman opened her basket and showed Lily what was inside. There were some bread, some cheese, some grapes and some cookies. The woman said she was having a picnic and asked Lily if she wanted to join her. + +Lily said yes, but only if her mom could come too. The woman said of course and invited Lily's mom to sit with them. Lily's mom put down her book and walked to the bench where the woman and Lily were sitting. The woman offered them some food and they all ate and talked. Lily liked the woman's hat and the woman liked Lily's dress. They became friends and had a nice time. Lily was happy and so was her mom. +Lily and Ben were playing in the tent in the backyard. They had a flashlight and some toys. They liked to pretend they were camping in the woods. + +"Let's tell stories," Ben said. "I'll go first. Once there was a big, scary bear who lived in the cave. He liked to eat honey and fish. But he was very lonely. He wanted a friend." + +Lily listened and nodded. She liked stories. She hugged her teddy bear. "What did he do?" she asked. + +Ben thought for a moment. He wanted to make the story more exciting. "He decided to go out and look for a friend. He walked and walked until he saw a bright light. It was a flashlight. He followed the light and found a tent. He thought maybe there was a friend inside. He went closer and closer. He saw two little kids playing. He said, 'Hello, can I be your friend?'" + +Lily gasped. She was scared. She looked at the tent flap. She hoped there was no bear outside. She grabbed the flashlight and turned it on. She shone it at the flap. She saw nothing. She was relieved. + +"Ben, you scared me!" she said. "There is no bear, right?" + +Ben laughed. He was happy he made a good story. He said, "No, there is no bear. I made it up. It's just us. Don't worry." + +Lily smiled. She was not scared anymore. She said, "That was a good story, Ben. But I have a better one. Once there was a big, orange rock who lived on the moon. He liked to sing and dance. But he was very bored. He wanted to have fun." + +Ben listened and wondered. He liked stories. He held his toy car. "What did he do?" he asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to make the story more funny. She said, "He decided to go out and look for fun. He jumped and jumped until he saw a shiny thing. It was a spaceship. He followed the thing and found a window. He looked inside and saw a man in a suit. He said, 'Hello, can I have fun with you?'" + +Ben giggled. He was amused. He looked at the flashlight. He pretended it was a spaceship. He said, "What did the man say?" + +Lily giggled too. She was happy she made a funny story. She said, "The man was very surprised. He said, 'Who are you? How can you talk? You are a rock!'" + +Ben and Lily laughed and laughed. They liked stories. They liked playing. They liked each other. They were friends. +Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they wanted to play with something new. They saw a big iron on the table. It was shiny and heavy. + +"Let's play with the iron!" Tom said. "We can pretend it is a spaceship!" + +"No, no, no!" Lily said. "The iron is not a toy. It is for Mommy. She uses it to make clothes smooth. It is very hot and can hurt us. And it can break the delicate things on the table, like the vase and the picture." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He grabbed the iron and lifted it up. He made zooming noises and moved it around. Lily was scared and angry. She ran to Mommy, who was in the kitchen. + +"Mommy, Mommy!" Lily said. "Tom is playing with the iron! He is being naughty and dangerous! He can break the delicate things and burn himself!" + +Mommy heard Lily's complaint and ran to the living room. She saw Tom with the iron and gasped. She took the iron from Tom and put it back on the table. She turned it off and unplugged it. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Mommy said. "The iron is not a toy. It is very hot and can hurt you and Lily. And it can break the delicate things on the table, like the vase and the picture. You could have made a big mess and a big boo-boo. You have to be careful and listen to Lily. She is your big sister and she knows better." + +Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He did not mean to be naughty and dangerous. He just wanted to have fun. He looked at Lily and Mommy and said: + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Mommy. I won't play with the iron again. I will play with my toys and share them with Lily. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily and Mommy smiled and hugged Tom. They forgave him and told him they loved him. They decided to play a different game together, one that was safe and fun. They had a happy afternoon and forgot about the iron. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big orange ball on the grass. It looked fun and bouncy. + +"Let's play with the ball!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They ran to the ball and took turns to kick it and throw it. The ball made a funny sound when it hit the ground. It went "boing, boing, boing". They laughed and chased the ball. + +But then a big dog came. It was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. It saw the ball and wanted it. It ran to the ball and bit it. The ball made a loud "pop" and went flat. The dog shook the ball and tore it apart. It made a mess of the grass and the ball. + +Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They cried and ran away from the dog. They wanted their ball back. But the ball was gone. It was dirty and broken and no good. + +The dog was happy. It wagged its tail and licked the ball. It liked the taste of the orange ball. It did not care that it was dirty and broken and no good. It did not care that Tom and Lily were scared and sad. It was a bad dog. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. But today it is cold and rainy. They cannot go out. They are sad and bored. + +"I want summer to come back," Tom says. "I want to swim and run and have fun." + +"Me too," Lily says. "I don't like winter. It is wet and dark and cold." + +They look out the window and see a big puddle. A duck is swimming in it. It looks happy. + +"Look, a duck!" Tom says. "It likes the rain. It can swim and splash and have fun." + +"Maybe we can be like the duck," Lily says. "Maybe we can find something to do inside." + +They think for a while. Then they have an idea. They go to the kitchen and ask their moms for some bowls and spoons. They fill the bowls with water and pretend they are ducks. They swim and splash and have fun. + +They are not sad and bored anymore. They are happy and playful. They forget about the rain and the cold. They make their own summer inside. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today, they have to go to the doctor with Mom. They do not like the doctor. The doctor gives them shots and looks in their ears and mouth. + +Mom says, "We have to go soon. Finish your breakfast and put on your shoes." Lily and Tom eat their toast and drink their juice. They put on their shoes and jackets. Mom takes their hands and they walk to the car. + +In the car, Mom plays some music. Lily and Tom sing along. They are happy. But when they get to the doctor's office, they are not happy. They see many people in the waiting room. Some people are coughing and sneezing. Some people are crying and shouting. + +Mom says, "We have to wait for our turn. Find a seat and be quiet." Lily and Tom find two seats next to each other. They sit down and look around. They do not see any toys or books. They are bored. + +Lily whispers to Tom, "I do not like it here. Can we go home?" Tom whispers back, "Me too. But we have to see the doctor. Mom says it is good for us." Lily sighs. She wishes she could play with her toys and books. She hopes they can go home soon. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They like to imagine they are fierce animals, like lions and tigers. They roar and run and chase each other. + +"Rawr! I'm a lion and I'm going to catch you!" Tom says. + +"No, you can't! I'm a tiger and I'm faster!" Mia says. + +They run to the slide and climb up. Tom is behind Mia and tries to grab her tail. Mia slides down and laughs. Tom slides down too, but he is not careful. He hits his head on the metal bar and falls to the ground. He cries and bleeds. + +Mia runs to him and sees his wound. She is scared and sorry. She looks for a bandage, but she can't find one. She sees a lady with a dog and runs to her. + +"Please, help! My friend is hurt! He needs a bandage!" Mia says. + +The lady looks at Tom and sees his blood. She is shocked and angry. She thinks Tom and Mia are bad children who hurt her dog. She sees a scratch on her dog's ear and thinks Tom did it. + +"Go away, you little brats! You hurt my dog! He is a good dog and you are bad! I'm going to call the police!" The lady says. + +She takes out her phone and dials a number. Tom and Mia are confused and afraid. They don't know what to do. They wish they never played fierce animals. They wish they had a bandage. They wish they had a good ending. +Lily was a chubby girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna, who had long yellow hair and a blue dress. Lily always took Anna with her wherever she went, even to bed. + +One night, Lily heard a loud noise outside her window. She was scared and hugged Anna tight. She peeked through the curtain and saw a big dog barking at a cat. The dog was black and had sharp teeth. The cat was white and had a fluffy tail. The cat ran away and the dog chased it. + +Lily wanted to help the cat, but she was afraid of the dog. She whispered to Anna, "We need to do something. The dog is mean and the cat is in trouble." + +Anna nodded and said, "I have an idea. Let's use the curtain to scare the dog away." + +Lily liked the idea and said, "How do we do that?" + +Anna said, "We wait until the dog comes back to the window. Then we pull the curtain and make a loud noise. The dog will think there is a monster and run away." + +Lily agreed and said, "OK, let's do it." + +They waited for a few minutes until they heard the dog barking again. They saw the dog coming back to the window, looking for the cat. Lily and Anna grabbed the curtain and pulled it hard. They shouted, "Boo!" + +The dog was surprised and scared. He saw the curtain moving and heard the noise. He thought there was a monster behind the window. He yelped and ran away as fast as he could. + +Lily and Anna laughed and cheered. They had saved the cat and scared the dog away. They hugged each other and said, "We did it! We are brave and smart!" + +They looked out the window and saw the cat sitting on a tree. The cat looked at them and meowed. He was thankful and happy. He waved his paw and said, "Thank you, Lily and Anna. You are my friends." + +Lily and Anna smiled and said, "You're welcome, cat. You are our friend too." + +They closed the curtain and went back to bed. They cuddled with each other and fell asleep. They had a good night and a good dream. +Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. They saw a big ship on the water. It was white and shiny. It had many windows and flags. + +"Wow, look at that ship!" Lily said. "It must be fun to go on it." + +"Maybe it has a pool and a slide and a lot of toys," Ben said. "I wish we could go on it." + +They ran to the edge of the water and waved at the ship. They hoped someone would see them and invite them on board. But the ship was too far away and did not stop. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They went back to their sand castle and tried to make it bigger and better. They did not notice that the sky was getting dark and the wind was getting strong. They did not hear the thunder and see the lightning. + +Suddenly, a loud noise made them jump. It was a scream. They looked up and saw a man on the ship. He was waving his arms and shouting. He looked scared and angry. + +"Help! Help! The ship is on fire!" he screamed. "We need to get off!" + +Lily and Ben were shocked. They saw smoke and flames coming out of the ship. They saw people running and jumping into the water. They saw boats and helicopters coming to rescue them. + +"Oh no, that ship is in trouble!" Lily said. "I hope everyone is okay." + +"Me too," Ben said. "We are lucky we are not on it." + +They hugged each other and ran to their parents. They told them what they saw and how they felt. Their parents hugged them and said they were proud of them. They said they were lucky to have each other and to be safe. They said they would always love them and protect them. + +The end. +Sara was a bossy girl. She liked to tell her friends what to do and what to play. She did not like to share her toys or listen to others. On Wednesday, she went to the park with her mom and saw Ben and Lily playing with a ball. + +"Can I play with you?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, you can join us," Ben said. "But you have to take turns and be nice." + +Sara nodded, but she did not mean it. She grabbed the ball from Lily and ran away. She did not want to give it back. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily cried. "Give me the ball, Sara!" + +"No, it's mine now!" Sara said. "You can't have it!" + +Ben and Lily were angry and sad. They did not want to play with Sara anymore. They walked away and found another game. + +Sara was alone with the ball. She thought she was happy, but she was not. She looked around and saw no one wanted to be her friend. She felt lonely and sorry. + +She ran after Ben and Lily and said, "Wait, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Can I play with you again? Please?" + +Ben and Lily stopped and looked at Sara. They saw she was sad and sincere. They decided to give her another chance. + +"Okay, but you have to be nice and share," Ben said. + +"Yes, and you can't be bossy," Lily said. + +Sara nodded and smiled. She gave the ball to Lily and said, "You can go first." + +Ben and Lily smiled back and welcomed Sara to their game. They played with the ball and had fun. Sara learned to be a good friend. + +She shrugged and thought, "Maybe being bossy is not so good after all." +Dan and his wife, Kim, were playing with their dog, Rex, in the park. Rex liked to run and catch the ball that Dan threw for him. Kim watched and clapped her hands. She was happy to see Rex have fun. + +But then, Rex saw a squirrel on a tree. He barked and ran after it. He did not listen to Dan, who called him to come back. He moved very fast and crossed the road. Kim was scared. She saw a big car coming towards Rex. She screamed and ran after him. + +"Rex, stop! Come here!" she shouted. + +The car driver saw Rex and Kim. He was scared too. He tried to stop the car, but it was too late. He hit Rex with the car. Rex yelped and fell on the ground. Kim reached him and hugged him. She cried and cried. + +Dan ran to them too. He was angry and sad. He looked at the car driver, who got out of the car. The car driver looked guilty and sorry. He said to Dan and Kim: + +"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your dog. Is he okay?" + +Dan shook his head. He said: + +"No, he's not okay. He's hurt very bad. You should have been more careful. You should have looked where you were going." + +Kim sobbed and said: + +"Please, help us. Take us to the vet. Maybe they can save Rex. Please, please." + +The car driver nodded. He said: + +"Okay, okay. I'll help you. Come on, let's go. I hope Rex will be okay." + +He helped Dan and Kim to put Rex in the car. They drove to the vet as fast as they could. They prayed that Rex would be okay. They loved him very much. +Anna and Ben were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They laughed and shouted and had fun. + +But then the sky became dark and the wind blew hard. Anna and Ben heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked up and saw flashes of light. It was lightning. They felt scared. + +"Let's go inside!" Anna said to Ben. "It's going to rain!" + +But before they could run to the house, big drops of water fell from the sky. It was raining. The rain was cold and wet and made them shiver. Their ball rolled away in the mud. + +"Stop, rain, stop!" Ben cried. "We want to play!" + +But the rain did not stop. It rained harder and harder. Anna and Ben ran to the house and knocked on the door. Their mom opened the door and hugged them. + +"Come in, come in!" she said. "You are soaked!" + +She took them to the bathroom and gave them towels and dry clothes. She made them hot chocolate and cookies. She told them stories and sang them songs. + +Anna and Ben felt warm and cozy and happy. They forgot about the rain and the ball. They loved their mom. + +The rain was not ordinary. It was a storm. But Anna and Ben had an ordinary day. They played and they learned and they loved. They were happy. +Lily liked to play with cubes. She had many cubes of different colors and sizes. She could stack them, sort them, and make shapes with them. She was very thoughtful and careful with her cubes. + +One day, it was Lily's birthday. She was very happy and excited. She wore a new dress and a crown. Her mom and dad gave her a big hug and a cake. They said, "Happy birthday, Lily! We have a surprise for you!" + +Lily wondered what the surprise was. She hoped it was something to do with cubes. She loved cubes so much. She followed her mom and dad to the living room. There, she saw a big box wrapped in shiny paper. It had a bow and a card. + +Lily opened the card. It said, "To Lily, our thoughtful and clever girl. We hope you like this gift. Love, Mom and Dad." Lily smiled and thanked them. She tore the paper and opened the box. + +Inside the box, there were many new cubes. But they were not like her old cubes. They were soft and fuzzy. They had faces and ears and tails. They were animals! Lily gasped and clapped her hands. She took out a cube that looked like a cat, a cube that looked like a dog, a cube that looked like a bear, and more. + +Lily hugged her mom and dad. She said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love them! They are the best cubes ever!" She put them on the floor and played with them. She made them talk and sing and dance. She was so happy. + +Mom and Dad watched her with a smile. They said, "We're glad you like them, Lily. You deserve them. You are such a thoughtful and clever girl. Happy birthday, Lily! Let's celebrate!" They brought the cake and the candles and sang to her. Lily blew the candles and made a wish. She wished for more cubes. +Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They also saw a big kangaroo that could hop very high. Ben and Lily wanted to feed the kangaroo, but their mom said no. + +"Why not?" Ben asked. + +"Because the kangaroo food is expensive," their mom said. "We only have enough money for our lunch." + +Ben and Lily felt sad. They liked the kangaroo and wanted to make it happy. They looked at their lunch bags. They had sandwiches, apples, and cookies. They had an idea. + +"Mom, can we share our lunch with the kangaroo?" Lily asked. + +Their mom smiled. She saw that Ben and Lily were kind and generous. She said yes, but only a little bit. + +Ben and Lily ran to the kangaroo. They gave it some bread, some apple, and some cookie. The kangaroo ate the food and licked its lips. It looked at Ben and Lily and made a funny noise. Ben and Lily laughed. They felt happy. + +"Thank you for sharing your lunch with me," the kangaroo said. + +"You're welcome," Ben and Lily said. + +They hugged the kangaroo and said goodbye. They went to see other animals, but the kangaroo was their favorite. They learned that sharing is good and that expensive things are not always the best. +Lily likes to write in her diary every day. She has a pink diary with a lock and a key. She writes about her friends, her toys, her dreams, and her secrets. She keeps her diary under her pillow, so no one can find it. + +One day, Lily comes home from school and sees her brother Tom in her room. He is holding her diary in his hands. He has opened the lock with a paper clip. He is reading her diary and laughing. + +"Tom, give me my diary!" Lily shouts. She runs to him and tries to grab her diary. But Tom is taller and stronger. He holds the diary high above his head. + +"No, this is too funny. Listen to this: 'I wish I had a pony. I would name her Sparkle and brush her hair every day.' Ha ha ha, you are so silly, Lily. You will never have a pony. You are too small and scared of animals." Tom says. He makes fun of Lily and her diary. + +Lily feels angry and sad. She wants her diary back. She does not like Tom. He is mean and rude. She stands on her bed and jumps up and down. She tries to reach her diary. But Tom is still too high. + +"Stop it, Tom. That is my diary. It is not for you. It is mine. You are a bad brother. You are not nice. You are a bully." Lily says. She cries and stamps her feet. + +Just then, Mom comes in. She sees Tom and Lily fighting. She sees the open diary in Tom's hands. She frowns and shakes her head. + +"Tom, what are you doing? That is Lily's diary. You have no right to read it. That is very rude and wrong. Give it back to her right now. And say sorry to her." Mom says. She takes the diary from Tom and gives it to Lily. She hugs Lily and wipes her tears. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was just curious. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive me." Tom says. He looks ashamed and sorry. + +Lily sniffs and nods. She hugs her diary and puts it under her pillow. She locks it with her key. She forgives Tom, but she does not trust him. She hopes he will not touch her diary again. She hopes he will be a nicer brother. She loves her diary. It is her best friend. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to climb the trees and swing on the vines. They saw a big palm tree with many fruits. They wanted to try them. + +"Let's go get some fruits!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. The palm tree is very high and the fruits are heavy." Lila said. + +They climbed the palm tree and picked some fruits. They were green and round and smelled sweet. They bit into them and made a face. + +"Yuck! These fruits are not good. They are sour and hard." Tom said. + +"Maybe they are not ripe yet. Let's throw them away and find something else." Lila said. + +They threw the fruits to the ground. But they did not see that a poor monkey was sitting under the palm tree. The fruits hit the monkey on the head and made him cry. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow! Who did this? Who hurt me?" The monkey said. + +Lila and Tom heard the monkey and looked down. They saw the poor monkey holding his head and looking angry. + +"Oh no! We are sorry, monkey. We did not mean to hurt you. We did not see you there." Lila said. + +"Sorry is not enough. You should not waste food and throw things at others. That is very bad and rude. You should tell me sorry and give me something nice." The monkey said. + +Lila and Tom felt bad. They wanted to make the monkey happy. They looked around and saw some bananas on another tree. They climbed the tree and picked some bananas. They gave them to the monkey. + +"Here, monkey. These are for you. They are yellow and soft and sweet. We hope you like them. We are very sorry for hurting you." Tom said. + +The monkey took the bananas and smiled. He peeled them and ate them. He liked them very much. He felt better. + +"Thank you, children. These are very good. You are very kind. I forgive you for hurting me. But next time, be more careful and respectful. And do not throw things at others. That is not nice." The monkey said. + +Lila and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They said goodbye to the monkey and went back to playing. They did not throw things at others anymore. They were more careful and respectful. And they did not eat sour fruits anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big van in the park. The van is red and shiny. It has many buttons and lights. + +"Wow, look at this van!" Lily says. "Can we go inside?" + +"OK, but be careful," Ben says. "We don't know who owns it." + +They open the door and climb into the van. They see a big screen and a keyboard. They see a map and a speaker. They see a lot of wires and tools. + +"Maybe this is a spy van," Lily says. "Maybe it can solve mysteries." + +"Or maybe it is a rocket van," Ben says. "Maybe it can fly to the moon." + +They start to press the buttons and turn the lights. They hear beeps and booms. They see numbers and words. They feel the van shake and move. + +"Uh-oh, what did we do?" Lily says. "This is serious!" + +Suddenly, they hear a voice from the speaker. It is a man. He sounds angry. + +"Hey, who are you? What are you doing in my van? This is not a toy. This is a science van. I use it to solve problems. You are messing up my work. Get out of there, now!" + +Lily and Ben are scared. They jump out of the van and run away. They see the man come out of a building. He is wearing a white coat and glasses. He looks at his van and shakes his head. + +"Kids these days," he says. "They have no respect for science." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They did not mean to cause trouble. They decide to never go into a strange van again. They go back to their toys and books. They learn to solve their own problems. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big cake on a table. It looked yummy. + +"Let's eat some cake," Lily said. + +"OK," Tom said. + +They ran to the table. But when they got close, a net fell on them. They were trapped. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +A man came out of a bush. He had a thick beard and a mean smile. + +"Ha ha ha! I got you!" he said. "You are my pets now. You will do what I say. And you will marry each other." + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not want to be his pets. They did not want to marry each other. They wanted to go home. + +"Please let us go," Lily said. + +"No way," the man said. "You are mine." + +He picked up the net and carried them away. + +But he did not see a hole in the ground. He stepped on it and fell. The net flew out of his hands. Lily and Tom rolled out of the net. They were free. + +"Run!" Tom said. + +They ran as fast as they could. They left the cake and the man behind. They ran back to the park. They found their moms and hugged them. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Lily said. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Tom said. + +"What happened?" their moms asked. + +They told them about the cake, the trap, and the man. + +"That was very dangerous," their moms said. "You should never take things that are not yours. And you should never talk to strangers. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mom," Lily said. + +"Yes, Mom," Tom said. + +They learned their lesson. They never went near the cake again. And they never wanted to marry each other. They were just friends. +Lily was very excited for her birthday. She wanted to wear her new dress and have cake and balloons. But when she woke up, she felt hot and itchy. She had red spots all over her skin. + +"Mama, I don't feel good," she said, rubbing her eyes. + +"Oh, Lily, you have chicken pox," Mama said, looking at her with a sad face. "You can't go to your party today. You have to stay in bed and rest." + +Lily started to cry. She didn't want to miss her birthday. She didn't want to have chicken pox. She wanted to change back to normal. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I know it's hard," Mama said, hugging her. "But chicken pox will go away soon. And we can have your party another day, when you are better. How about we read a story and have some ice cream now?" + +Lily sniffed and nodded. She still felt uncomfortable and sad, but she liked stories and ice cream. She hoped that chicken pox would change and leave her alone. She hoped that her birthday would come again soon. She hoped that Mama would always be with her. +Sam liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them race and crash on the floor. One day, he was playing with his black car, his favorite one. He made it go very fast and hit the wall. But then he saw that the car was broken. The wheel had come off and the door was bent. Sam felt sad and angry. He threw the car on the floor and cried. + +"Sam, what's wrong?" his mom asked. She heard him crying and came to see him. She saw the broken car and the tears on his face. She picked up the car and hugged Sam. "Don't worry, honey. We can repair the car. Do you want to help me?" + +Sam nodded. He wanted his car to be fixed. He loved his car. He wiped his tears and followed his mom to the kitchen. His mom took some glue and tape from a drawer. She glued the wheel back on the car and taped the door. She gave the car back to Sam. "There you go. Your car is repaired. It looks good as new." + +Sam smiled. He took the car and thanked his mom. He felt happy again. He hugged his mom and said, "I love you, mom. You are the best." + +"I love you too, Sam. You are the best too." his mom said. She kissed him on the cheek. She noticed that his pants were dirty from playing on the floor. She said, "But you know what? Your pants are not the best. They are very dirty. How about we change them for some clean ones?" + +Sam looked at his pants. He saw the dirt and the stains. He agreed with his mom. He said, "OK, mom. Let's change my pants. But can I keep my black car?" + +"Of course, you can. You can keep your black car and play with it after we change your pants." his mom said. She took him to his room and helped him change his pants. She gave him some blue pants that were clean and soft. Sam liked his blue pants. He put on his pants and ran back to the kitchen. He grabbed his black car and said, "Mom, can I play with my car now?" + +"Yes, you can. But be careful not to break it again. And don't hit the wall too hard." his mom said. She smiled and watched him play. She was glad that he was happy. She was proud of him for helping her repair the car. She thought that he was a good boy. She loved him very much. +Anna and Ben are playful twins. They like to seat on the big swing in the park. They push each other and laugh. They have fun. + +But one day, the big swing is broken. The rope is torn and the seat is gone. Anna and Ben are sad. They look for another swing, but they are all taken by other kids. + +They see a small swing near the trees. It has a red seat and a yellow rope. It looks new and shiny. Anna and Ben run to the small swing. They want to seat on it and have fun. + +But they do not know that the small swing is not for kids. It is for a dog. A big, black dog. His name is Rex. He is playful, but he does not like to share. He sees Anna and Ben running to his swing. He growls and barks. He runs after them. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They hear the dog behind them. They run faster. They reach the small swing. They try to seat on it, but it is too high. They cannot reach it. They look for help, but no one is near. + +The dog is near. He jumps and bites the yellow rope. He pulls the red seat down. He shakes it and growls. He thinks it is his toy. + +Anna and Ben cry. They wish they had the big swing back. They wish they had not run to the small swing. They wish they had been more careful. They learn a lesson. They do not touch things that are not theirs. They do not make the dog angry. They wait for their mom to come and save them. +Tom is a boy who likes to play with dirt. He makes mud pies and rolls in the grass. He does not like to bathe. He says it is boring and cold. + +One day, his mom tells him he has to bathe. She says he is too dirty and smelly. She says he will get sick if he does not bathe. She says he can have some fruit after he bathes. Tom likes fruit. He likes apples and bananas and grapes. + +Tom goes to the bathroom. He sees the tub. He sees the water. He sees the soap. He does not want to get in. He cries and kicks. His mom says he has to. She says it will be quick and fun. She says she will help him. + +Tom gets in the tub. He feels the water. It is warm and nice. He sees the bubbles. They are white and fluffy. He likes to pop them. He hears the duck. It is yellow and squeaky. He likes to squeeze it. He smells the soap. It is sweet and fruity. He likes to rub it. + +Tom bathes. He washes his hair and his face and his body. He rinses and splashes. He smiles and laughs. His mom says he is clean and fresh. She says he did a good job. She says he can have some fruit. + +Tom gets out of the tub. He dries with the towel. It is soft and cozy. He puts on his pajamas. They are blue and comfy. He goes to the kitchen. He sees the fruit. It is colorful and juicy. He picks an apple. It is red and crunchy. He bites and chews. He says it is yummy. + +Tom is happy. He likes to bathe. He likes to have fruit. He says thank you to his mom. He says he loves her. He says he is sleepy. He goes to his bed. He sees his bear. It is brown and furry. He hugs it. He closes his eyes. He dreams of mud pies and ducks and apples. + +The end. +Sara was a little girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be useful and learn how to make yummy food. One day, her mom asked her to wash some lettuce and tomatoes for a salad. Sara was happy to do it. She took the lettuce and tomatoes to the sink and turned on the water. + +But then, she saw a big, green caterpillar on one of the lettuce leaves. She was scared and screamed. "Mom, mom, there is a bug on the salad!" she cried. Her mom came to see what was wrong. She saw the caterpillar and smiled. "Don't worry, Sara, it's just a caterpillar. It won't hurt you. It likes to eat lettuce, just like we do. Let's put it outside, where it can find more leaves to munch on." + +Sara was not convinced. She did not want to touch the caterpillar. She did not want to eat the lettuce. She did not want to make the salad. She crossed her arms and pouted. "No, mom, I don't like caterpillars. I don't like salad. I want pizza!" she demanded. + +Her mom shook her head. "Sara, you can't have pizza every day. Salad is good for you. It has vitamins and minerals that make you strong and healthy. And caterpillars are not bad. They are part of nature. They turn into beautiful butterflies. Don't you like butterflies?" + +Sara thought for a moment. She did like butterflies. They were pretty and colorful and flew in the air. Maybe caterpillars were not so bad after all. Maybe salad was not so bad either. She decided to give it a try. She picked up the caterpillar gently and put it on a flower outside. Then she went back to the kitchen and helped her mom finish the salad. She even tasted a bite and liked it. She was proud of herself for being brave and useful. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom, for teaching me about caterpillars and salad. I love you." Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Sara. You are a wonderful helper and a smart girl." They smiled and enjoyed their salad together. +Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big red car near the swings. They want to go inside the car and pretend to drive. + +"Look, Tom, a car! Let's go!" Sara says. + +"OK, Sara, but be careful. Maybe the car has a lock," Tom says. + +They run to the car and open the door. They climb inside and sit on the seats. They see a shiny key in the hole. + +"Wow, a key! Let's turn it and make the car go!" Sara says. + +She grabs the key and turns it. The car makes a loud noise and starts to move. + +"Help, Sara, stop the car! We don't know how to drive!" Tom says. + +He tries to find the brake, but he can't. The car goes faster and faster. Sara and Tom scream and cry. + +The car goes out of the park and into the street. It hits a big truck. The car breaks and the key falls out. Sara and Tom are hurt and scared. The truck driver and the people come to help them. They call the police and the ambulance. + +Sara and Tom are in trouble. They should not have played with the car. They should have listened to Tom and been careful. The car had a lock, but it was open. They turned the key and made a big mistake. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom had a toy car and Lily had a toy sheep. The sheep was soft and white and had a lot of wool. + +"Look at my sheep, Tom," Lily said. "She is so fluffy and warm. Do you want to touch her wool?" + +"OK, Lily," Tom said. He reached out his hand and felt the sheep's wool. It was nice and cozy. "Your sheep is very nice, Lily. Can I have her for a while?" + +"No, Tom," Lily said. "She is my sheep. You have your car. You can't have my sheep." + +"But I like your sheep, Lily," Tom said. He tried to grab the sheep from Lily's arms. Lily held on tight and pulled back. They started to fight over the sheep. + +"Stop it, Tom! Stop it, Lily!" their mom said. She came into the living room and saw them fighting. She was not happy. "You two are being very naughty. You need to share your toys and play nicely. If you can't do that, you will have a time out." + +She took the sheep and the car from their hands and put them on a high shelf. Then she locked the shelf with a key. She gave Tom and Lily each a chair and told them to sit quietly for five minutes. + +Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They did not like to lose their toys. They did not like to sit still. They felt very uncomfortable in their chairs. They looked at each other and made faces. They did not want to talk to each other. + +After five minutes, their mom came back and unlocked the shelf. She took the sheep and the car and gave them back to Tom and Lily. + +"Are you ready to play nicely now?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom," Tom and Lily said. They did not want to have another time out. + +They took their toys and went to the couch. They decided to play together and share their toys. Tom let Lily drive his car and Lily let Tom hug her sheep. They both felt the sheep's wool and smiled. + +They learned their lesson and had fun. +Lila and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They were eager to find something shiny or pretty. + +"Look, Ben, I found a crab!" Lila said, holding up a small, red creature. "It has claws and eyes and legs. It is moving!" + +Ben ran over to see. He wanted to touch the crab, but he was afraid it might pinch him. He reached out his hand slowly. + +"Be careful, Ben, it might hurt you!" Lila warned. + +Ben shrugged. He was curious. He touched the crab's shell gently. The crab did not like that. It snapped its claw at Ben's finger. + +"Ow!" Ben cried, pulling back his hand. "It bit me! It bit me!" + +Lila dropped the crab and hugged Ben. She felt sorry for him. She kissed his finger. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't know it would bite you. Are you okay?" she asked. + +Ben nodded. His finger was red, but it did not bleed. He was brave. He smiled at Lila. + +"I'm okay, Lila, thank you. It was just a little bite. The crab was scared, too. Maybe we should leave it alone." he said. + +Lila and Ben decided to play with something else. They found a bucket and a shovel and made a sandcastle. They had fun. They forgot about the crab. The crab crawled away and hid under a rock. It was happy. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play at the beach. They find many things in the sand and water. They find shells, crabs, and fish. One day, they find a big oyster. It is shiny and hard. + +Tom and Jen want to open the oyster. They think there is a pearl inside. A pearl is a round and white thing that is pretty. They use a rock to hit the oyster. They hit it hard and loud. The oyster breaks open. But there is no pearl. There is only a smelly thing. + +Tom and Jen are sad and mad. They do not like the smelly thing. They throw it away. They do not want to play with the oyster. They do not want to play with each other. They say mean words. They go away. + +Tom and Jen are not friends anymore. They do not love each other. They are lonely and unhappy. The oyster made them sad and mad. The oyster is a bad thing. The end. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big city. They liked to look at the tall buildings and the bright lights. Sometimes they saw planes and birds in the sky. + +One day, their mom took them to a park in the city. There was a big pond with ducks and fish. Tom and Lily wanted to feed the ducks, so they got some bread from their mom. They broke the bread into small pieces and threw them into the water. + +The ducks came to eat the bread. They quacked and splashed and made Tom and Lily laugh. The fish also came to eat the bread. They swam and jumped and made Tom and Lily clap. The pond was filled with life and noise. + +Tom and Lily saw a fountain in the middle of the pond. It sprayed water high in the air. The water sparkled in the sun and made a rainbow. Tom and Lily thought it was brilliant. They wanted to go closer to the fountain, so they asked their mom. + +Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful. She held their hands and walked with them to the edge of the pond. They saw the fountain up close. It was even more brilliant than before. They felt the water splash on their faces and smiled. They were happy and filled with joy. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pink dress. Anna would cover Lily with a blanket and pretend she was her parent. She would feed her, read to her, and sing to her. + +One day, Anna's mom said they had to go to the store. She told Anna to stay in her room and not touch anything. Anna said okay, but she was bored. She wanted to play with Lily. She saw a big box in the corner. She thought maybe there was something fun inside. She opened the box and saw a lot of shiny things. They were mom's jewelry. + +Anna liked the shiny things. She took them out and put them on Lily. She made her a necklace, a bracelet, and a ring. She thought Lily looked very pretty. She covered her with the blanket again and said, "You are my healthy and happy baby." + +But Anna did not know that some of the shiny things were not jewelry. They were pills. Mom took them to feel better, but they were not for children. They were very bad for children. Lily had some of the pills in her mouth. Anna did not see them. + +When mom came back, she went to Anna's room. She saw the box and the shiny things. She was very angry. She saw Lily under the blanket. She thought Anna was playing with her. She lifted the blanket and saw Lily's face. She saw the pills. She screamed. She ran to the phone and called for help. But it was too late. Lily was not breathing. Anna did not understand. She cried and cried. She lost her favorite doll. She lost her parent's love. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to run around the sofa and pretend they were racing cars. Lily was faster than Ben, but Ben was smarter. He knew a shortcut behind the table. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to win!" Lily shouted as she ran past the window. + +"Not so fast, Lily!" Ben said as he sneaked behind the table. He saw a big vase on the table. It was shiny and blue, with flowers on it. Ben thought it was pretty, but he also thought it was in his way. He pushed it aside with his hand, but he pushed too hard. The vase fell off the table and broke on the floor. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said. He heard his mom coming from the kitchen. + +"What was that noise?" Mom asked. She saw the broken vase and the mess on the floor. She was angry. "Who did this?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were scared. They did not want to get in trouble. + +"It was me, Mom," Lily said. She was brave. She did not want Ben to get in trouble. "I'm sorry, Mom. I was running and I bumped into the vase." + +Mom looked at Lily. She saw that Lily was lying. She knew that Lily was not near the table when the vase fell. She also saw that Ben was hiding behind the sofa. She was not happy. + +"Lily, don't lie to me," Mom said. "I know it was not you. Ben, come out from behind the sofa. You need to tell me the truth." + +Ben came out from behind the sofa. He was ashamed. He knew he did a bad thing. He looked at Mom and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. It was me. I was running and I pushed the vase. I did not mean to break it." + +Mom sighed. She was still angry, but she was also glad that Ben told the truth. She said, "Thank you for being honest, Ben. But you still need to learn to be careful. You could have hurt yourself or Lily with the broken glass. And you also need to respect our things. The vase was a gift from Grandma. It was very special to me." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for Mom. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We love you and Grandma. We won't run in the living room anymore." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. But you still need to help me clean up this mess. And then you need to go to your room and think about what you did. Maybe you can draw a picture for Grandma and say sorry to her too." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They helped Mom clean up the broken vase and the flowers. They felt dizzy from running so much. They went to their room and drew a picture for Grandma. They hoped Grandma would forgive them. They learned their lesson. They decided to play something else next time. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play hide and seek. Lily is good at hiding. Ben is good at finding. One day, they play in the park. There are many trees and bushes. + +Lily runs and hides behind a big bush. She waits for Ben to count. She is quiet and still. She hopes Ben will not find her. She peeks from the bush. She sees Ben looking around. He does not see her. She smiles. + +Ben counts to ten. He says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looks for Lily. He checks under the slide. He checks behind the bench. He checks in the sandbox. He does not find Lily. He wonders where she is. He thinks hard. + +He remembers that Lily likes bushes. He walks to the bushes. He sees many bushes. He does not know which one Lily is in. He has an idea. He says, "Lily, I have a surprise for you. It is your favorite. It is ice cream. Do you want some?" + +Lily hears Ben. She loves ice cream. She wants some. She forgets to hide. She says, "Yes, please! What flavor is it?" She comes out of the bush. She sees Ben. He is holding a cone. He smiles. + +Ben says, "Got you! It is not ice cream. It is a cone. You are it!" He gives her the cone. He runs away. Lily is surprised. She is mad. She says, "That is not fair! That is not nice! That is not ice cream!" She throws the cone. She chases Ben. She wants to catch him. + +They run and laugh. They have fun. They do not care about the order. They do not care about the tight. They only care about the game. They are happy. They are twins. They are friends. +Lily liked to sing. She sang all day long. She sang in the morning, she sang at lunch, she sang in the bath. She sang loud and happy. She did not care if anyone else wanted to sing too. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide. She ran to the slide and climbed up. She sang on the slide. "Weee, weee, weee, I love the slide, the slide is mine, weee, weee, weee!" + +But there was a boy waiting for his turn. He was sad. He wanted to slide too. He said to Lily, "Please, can I slide? You have been sliding for a long time. Please, let me have a turn." + +Lily did not listen. She sang louder. "No, no, no, you can't slide, the slide is mine, mine, mine, weee, weee, weee!" + +The boy started to cry. He ran to his mom and dad. They hugged him and said, "Don't worry, sweetie, some kids are selfish. They don't like to share. But you are a good boy. You are kind and polite. Come, let's find another slide." + +Lily saw the boy crying. She felt bad. She stopped singing. She slid down and said to the boy, "I'm sorry, I was selfish. I did not share. You can slide now. Do you want to slide with me?" + +The boy smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are not selfish. You are nice. Yes, I want to slide with you." + +Lily and the boy slid together. They had fun. They sang together. "Weee, weee, weee, we love the slide, the slide is ours, weee, weee, weee!" +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play together at school. One day, Lily tells Max that she will visit him at his house. Max is happy. He wants to show Lily his toys and his dog. + +The next day, Lily comes to Max's house with her mom. Max's mom says hello and makes lunch for them. They have sandwiches and juice and cookies. Lily and Max eat and talk and laugh. They are having fun. + +After lunch, Max takes Lily to his room. He shows her his cars and his books and his teddy bear. Lily likes them. She says they are nice. Then Max shows her his dog. His dog is big and brown and fluffy. His name is Rex. + +Lily is scared of Rex. She thinks he is loud and scary. She does not want to play with him. She cries and runs to her mom. Max is sad. He loves Rex. He does not understand why Lily is scared. He wants to make her happy. + +Max's mom and Lily's mom talk to them. They say that it is okay to be scared of some things. They say that Rex is a good dog and he does not want to hurt Lily. They say that Lily and Max are still friends and they can play with other things. + +Lily and Max hug and say sorry. They decide to play with the cars and the books and the teddy bear. They do not play with Rex. Rex stays in the yard. He is happy too. He has a bone to chew. Lily and Max are happy. They enjoy their visit. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two goals. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. + +One day, they meet a new boy in the park. His name is Ben. He has a big gear with him. It is red and shiny. It has wheels and buttons. Ben says it is a robot. + +"Can I play with you?" Ben asks Tom and Sam. + +"Sure, you can play with us," Tom says. "But you have to share your gear. It looks fun." + +"OK, I will share my gear," Ben says. "But I want to play with the ball too." + +Tom and Sam agree. They let Ben join their game. They pass the ball to each other and to Ben. Ben passes the ball back. He is good at soccer. + +But after a while, Ben does not want to pass the ball anymore. He keeps the ball for himself. He runs with the ball and tries to score all the time. He does not let Tom and Sam have a turn. + +"Hey, that is not fair!" Tom says. "You have to pass the ball. It is our ball. We are a team." + +"Yeah, that is not fair!" Sam says. "You have to share. You have your gear. We want to play with it too." + +But Ben does not listen. He says the ball is his now. He says the gear is his too. He says he does not want to play with them anymore. He takes the ball and the gear and runs away. + +Tom and Sam are sad and angry. They do not like Ben. He is not a good friend. He is not fair. They decide to play without him. They find another ball and another goal. They pass the ball and score. They have fun. They are happy. +Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their snacks. One day, Lila brought a green fruit to the park. She said it was an avocado and it was very yummy. + +"Can I try some?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but you have to guess what it is first," Lila said. She cut the avocado in half and showed Ben the inside. It had a big brown seed and soft green flesh. + +Ben looked at the avocado and thought hard. He had never seen a fruit like that before. He guessed, "Is it a pear?" + +"No, it's not a pear," Lila said. She smiled and said, "Do you want another hint?" + +"Yes, please," Ben said. + +Lila said, "It comes from a tree that grows in a wild place. A place with lots of sun and rain and animals." + +Ben thought some more. He remembered a book he had read about a wild place. He guessed, "Is it a banana?" + +"No, it's not a banana," Lila said. She laughed and said, "Do you give up?" + +Ben nodded. He was curious and hungry. He said, "Yes, I give up. What is it?" + +Lila said, "It's an avocado. It's a fruit that grows in a place called Mexico. My mom bought it at the store. She said it's good for you and it tastes like butter. Do you want to try some?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I do. Thank you for sharing, Lila. You are a good friend." + +Lila and Ben ate the avocado together. They liked it very much. They learned something new and had fun. They decided to share more fruits and stories with each other. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. You can learn new things and make new friends by sharing. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they also like to win. They are competitive. Sometimes they fight over who has more toys or who is faster or stronger. + +One day, they see a big bag in the living room. It is full of colorful balls. They both want to play with the balls. They run to the bag and try to pull it to their side. They struggle with the bag. They pull and tug and shout. + +"Mine!" Tom says. + +"No, mine!" Lily says. + +The bag is too heavy for them. They cannot move it. They get tired and angry. They start to cry. + +Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She sees the bag and the twins. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. "Why are you fighting over the bag?" + +Tom and Lily stop crying. They look at Mom. They feel sorry. + +"We want to play with the balls," Tom says. + +"Me too," Lily says. + +Mom smiles. She has an idea. + +"You don't have to fight over the bag," she says. "You can share the balls. There are enough for both of you. How about we make a game? You can take turns throwing the balls into a basket. Whoever gets more balls in the basket wins. Do you want to try?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They like the game. They stop being competitive. They start to have fun. They share the balls and the bag. They laugh and cheer. Mom is happy too. She joins the game. They all have a good time. +Lila was a dog who liked to run and play. She had a big yard with many toys and a nice house with a soft bed. She was happy and loved by her family. + +One day, a flea came to her yard. The flea was looking for a place to fit and bite.

She wanted them to help her and make the flea go away. But they were not there. They had gone to the store and left her alone. Lila was sad and scared. + +She tried to find a place to hide and rest. She went to her bed, but the flea followed her. He bit her on her nose and ears. She went to her toys, but the flea followed her. He bit her on her tail and paws. She went to her bowl, but the flea followed her. He bit her on her neck and back. + +Lila had no place to go. She was tired and sore. She wished the flea would leave her alone. She wished her family would come back. She wished she had never met the flea. + +The flea was excited. He had found a place to fit and bite. He did not care about Lila. He only cared about himself. He bit her more and more, and made her bleed and cry. He was happy and full. + +The end. + +Moral: Be careful of strangers who want to fit and bite. They may not be your friends. They may hurt you and make you unhappy. Stay away from them and look for help. +Anna and Ben love to play with their cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make a race with their cars on the floor. They pretend that the floor is a road and the cars are very fast. + +One day, they find a new car in their toy box. It is orange and shiny. It has big wheels and a loud horn. Anna and Ben are very happy. They want to try the new car in their race. + +"Wow, look at this car!" Anna says. "It is so shiny and orange. I want to play with it." + +"No, I want to play with it!" Ben says. "It is my turn to choose a car. You can have the blue one." + +They start to argue. They both pull the car and try to take it from each other. The car makes a beep sound. Anna and Ben stop and look at the car. + +"Maybe we can share the car," Anna says. "We can take turns to play with it. Or we can play together." + +"How can we play together?" Ben asks. + +"We can make a team," Anna says. "We can race against the other cars. We can use the horn to scare them away. We can be the orange and shiny team." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes the idea of being a team. He likes the sound of the horn. He likes the color of the car. + +"Okay, let's be a team," he says. "We can be the best team ever. We can win the race." + +Anna and Ben smile. They hug each other and the car. They put the car on the floor and get ready for the race. They say "Ready, set, go!" and push the car along the road. The car zooms and beeps. Anna and Ben cheer and laugh. They have fun with their orange and shiny car. They are happy to play together. +Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They zoomed them on the floor, on the sofa, and on the table. Sometimes they made them crash and say "boom!" + +One day, they found a bottle of lotion in the bathroom. It was white and smelled nice. They wondered what would happen if they put some lotion on their cars. They thought it would make them shiny and smooth. + +They squeezed some lotion on their hands and rubbed it on their cars. They were happy to see how their cars glistened. They decided to have a race with their lotion cars. They lined them up on the floor and counted to three. + +"Ready, set, go!" they shouted and pushed their cars forward. But something was wrong. Their cars did not go fast. They slipped and slid on the floor. They did not go straight. They went sideways and backwards. They bumped into each other and into the wall. + +"Hey, stop!" Ben cried. "My car is going reverse!" + +"Mine too!" Mia said. "The lotion made them go crazy!" + +They tried to catch their cars, but they were too slippery. They slipped and fell on the floor too. They got lotion on their clothes and hair. They looked at each other and laughed. + +They heard their mom coming. She smelled something spicy. She had made lunch for them. She saw the mess they had made. She was not happy. + +"Ben, Mia, what did you do?" she asked. "Why did you use my lotion on your cars? That lotion is not for cars. That lotion is for my feet. It has pepper in it. That's why it is spicy. It makes my feet warm and soft. It does not make your cars fast and smooth. It makes them slow and slippery. You need to clean up this mess and wash your hands. And no more lotion on your cars, okay?" + +Ben and Mia nodded. They were sorry. They did not know the lotion was for mom's feet. They did not know it had pepper in it. They learned their lesson. They cleaned up the mess and washed their hands. They ate their lunch and said sorry to mom. They still liked to play with their cars, but they never used lotion on them again. They used water instead. Water was not spicy. Water was fun. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and made pictures of her family, her dog, and her toys. Sometimes she made mistakes and wanted to change her drawings. She used an eraser to rub out the parts she did not like. + +One day, she was drawing a big flower on a white paper. She wanted to make the petals yellow, but she picked up the wrong crayon. She drew a blue line on the paper and felt sad. She looked for her eraser, but she could not find it. She asked her mom, but her mom did not know where it was. She asked her brother, but he said he did not have it. + +Lily felt angry. She thought her brother took her eraser and hid it. She went to his room and saw his desk. It was full of papers, books, and pencils. She looked for her eraser, but she only saw a small piece of pink rubber. It was her eraser, but it was almost gone. Her brother had used it so much that it was almost empty. + +Lily felt more angry. She wanted to yell at her brother, but he was not in his room. She wanted to take his pencils, but she knew that was wrong. She wanted to prevent him from using her eraser again, but she did not know how. She felt like crying. + +Then she had an idea. She took a piece of tape and stuck it on the empty eraser. She wrote on the tape with a black crayon: "Lily's eraser. Do not use." She put the eraser back on his desk and smiled. She hoped her brother would see it and learn to ask before taking her things. She went back to her room and found another eraser in her drawer. She finished her flower and felt happy. +Tom and Sue were twins. They liked to play with their toys in the yard. One day, they saw a big van stop near their house. The van had many pictures of candy and toys on it. + +"Look, Tom, candy and toys!" Sue said. "Let's go see!" + +Tom and Sue ran to the van. A man opened the door and smiled at them. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you want some candy and toys?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Sue said. + +The man gave them each a piece of candy and a toy. They were very happy. + +"Thank you, mister!" Tom and Sue said. + +"You're welcome. Do you want more candy and toys?" the man asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Sue said. + +"OK, then. Come inside the van. I have more candy and toys for you. But you have to be quiet and not tell anyone, OK?" the man said. + +"OK!" Tom and Sue said. + +They followed the man inside the van. The man closed the door and locked it. He drove away fast. + +Tom and Sue ate their candy and played with their toys. They did not know where they were going. They did not see their house or their mom or their dad. They did not hear their dog barking. + +They did not know that the man was bad. He did not want to give them candy and toys. He wanted to sell them to other bad people. He wanted to make money from them. + +He did not care about them. He did not love them. + +Tom and Sue were scared. They cried. They wanted to go home. They wanted their mom and dad. They wanted their dog. + +But no one heard them. No one helped them. No one saved them. + +The end. +Lily and Max were playing in the mud. They made pies and castles and splashed each other. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very dirty and smelly. + +"Time to go inside, kids!" Mom called from the door. "You need a bath before dinner!" + +Lily and Max groaned. They did not want to stop playing. They did not want to take a bath. They wanted to stay in the mud. + +"Please, Mom, can we play a little more?" Lily asked. + +"No, you can't. You are too smelly. Come on, let's go." Mom said. + +She took them by the hand and led them to the bathroom. She filled the tub with warm water and bubbles. She helped them take off their clothes and put them in the hamper. She gave them each a bathrobe to wear after the bath. + +Lily and Max got into the tub. They felt the water on their skin. They saw the bubbles on their hair. They smelled the soap on their nose. They realized that the bath was not so bad. It was actually nice and cozy. + +They played with the rubber duck and the boat. They made bubbles with their mouth. They laughed and splashed. They forgot about the mud. + +"See, the bath is fun, right?" Mom said. + +"Yes, Mom, it is. Thank you for the bath." Lily and Max said. + +They got out of the tub and dried themselves with a towel. They put on their bathrobes and hugged Mom. They smelled clean and fresh. + +They went to the kitchen and ate their dinner. They were happy and full. They thanked Mom for the food. + +They went to their bedroom and got ready for bed. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They crawled into their beds and snuggled with their teddy bears. + +Mom came and kissed them good night. She turned off the light and closed the door. + +Lily and Max fell asleep. They dreamed of mud and bubbles. They smiled in their sleep. +Tim and Lily are playing with blocks. They like to make towers and houses with different shapes and colors. Tim has a big red triangle. He puts it on top of his tower. He is very proud. + +"Look, Lily, I have the tallest tower!" he says. + +Lily looks at Tim's tower. She wants the red triangle. She thinks it is pretty. She tries to reach for it, but it is too high. She pushes Tim's tower with her hand. The tower falls down. The red triangle drops on the floor. It makes a loud noise. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Tim says. He is angry. He picks up the red triangle. He throws it at Lily. It hits her on the head. She cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she says. She holds her head. She is sad. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees the blocks and the red triangle. She sees Tim and Lily. She is not happy. + +"What happened here?" she asks. + +"Lily dropped my tower. She is bad. I threw the triangle at her. She is dead." Tim says. + +"No, she is not dead. She is hurt. You are bad. You should not throw things at people. You should say sorry." Mom says. + +Tim looks at Lily. He feels sorry. He goes to her. He hugs her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" he says. + +Lily stops crying. She hugs Tim back. + +"I'm sorry, Tim. I did not mean to drop your tower. I just wanted the triangle. It is okay." she says. + +Mom smiles. She picks up the red triangle. She gives it to Lily. + +"Here, you can have the triangle. It is pretty. But you have to share with Tim. And you have to be careful with the blocks. They can hurt." she says. + +Tim and Lily nod. They say thank you. They take the triangle. They play with the blocks again. They make a new tower together. They are happy. +Lily liked to go to the zoo with her mom and dad. She loved to see the animals, but her favorite was the big gorilla. She always waved to him and he waved back. He was very kind and thoughtful. + +One day, Lily saw that the gorilla had a new toy. It was a red ball that he could roll and bounce. He looked very happy with his ball. Lily wanted to play with him, but she knew she had to stay behind the fence. She watched him for a long time, until it was time to go home. + +The next day, Lily had an idea. She asked her mom if she could bring her own ball to the zoo. Her mom said yes, and they packed a yellow ball in their bag. Lily was very excited to see the gorilla again. + +When they got to the zoo, Lily ran to the gorilla's cage. She saw him sitting with his red ball, but he looked bored. He saw Lily and smiled. Lily smiled back and took out her yellow ball. She threw it over the fence, hoping he would catch it. + +The gorilla was surprised and curious. He picked up the yellow ball and looked at it. He rolled it on the ground and bounced it in the air. He liked it very much. He looked at Lily and saw that she was happy too. He wanted to thank her for the gift. He threw his red ball over the fence, hoping she would catch it. + +Lily was amazed and delighted. She caught the red ball and hugged it. She threw it back to the gorilla, and he threw the yellow ball back to her. They played catch for a long time, laughing and clapping. They were very good friends. They had to return the balls to each other, but they did not mind. They were very thoughtful. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box that they could use to make different things. Sometimes they used the box as a car, sometimes as a house, and sometimes as a rocket. + +One day, they decided to use the box as a boat and sail on the sea. They put the box on the couch and pretended it was the water. They used pillows as sails and spoons as oars. They wore hats and sunglasses and sang songs. + +"Look, Lily, there is an island!" Tom said, pointing to the table. "Let's go and explore it!" + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. There might be animals or pirates there!" Lily said, following him. + +They jumped off the couch and ran to the table. They climbed on it and looked around. They saw a bowl of fruit, a vase of flowers, and a book. + +"Wow, this is an interesting island!" Tom said, picking up an apple. "Look, it has food and pretty things!" + +"Yes, and it also has a map!" Lily said, opening the book. "Maybe it shows us where the treasure is!" + +They looked at the book and saw pictures and words. They could not read the words, but they liked the pictures. They saw a picture of a mountain, a picture of a cave, and a picture of a chest. + +"Let's follow the map and find the treasure!" Tom said, excited. + +"OK, but we have to be quiet. There might be traps or guards!" Lily said, whispering. + +They jumped off the table and ran to the other side of the room. They saw a lamp that looked like a mountain, a blanket that looked like a cave, and a toy box that looked like a chest. + +They climbed on the lamp and pretended it was the mountain. They crawled under the blanket and pretended it was the cave. They opened the toy box and pretended it was the chest. + +They found many toys inside the toy box. They saw dolls, cars, balls, and puzzles. + +"Wow, this is the treasure!" Tom said, happy. + +"Yes, and it is all ours!" Lily said, proud. + +They took out the toys and played with them. They forgot about the boat, the island, and the map. They were having so much fun. + +But they did not notice that their mom was watching them. She smiled and shook her head. She was glad that they used their imagination and had fun. But she also knew that it was time for them to clean up and go to bed. + +She walked to the couch and picked up the box. She said, "Tom, Lily, it is time to put away your toys and go to bed. You can play with your boat and your treasure tomorrow." + +Tom and Lily looked at her and groaned. They did not want to stop playing. They wanted to stay on the island and enjoy the treasure. + +But they also knew that they had to listen to their mom. They put their toys back in the toy box and followed her to their room. They said good night to each other and to their mom. They closed their eyes and dreamed of their adventure. +Lily liked to help her mom with the washing. She put the dirty clothes in the big machine and pushed the buttons. The machine made noise and bubbles. Lily watched the clothes go round and round. + +One day, Lily wanted to wash her teddy bear. He was very dirty from playing outside. But mom said no. She said teddy bear was not for the machine. He would get hurt and lose his fur. Lily was sad. She loved her teddy bear. + +Lily waited until mom was busy. She took her teddy bear and sneaked to the machine. She put him inside with some other clothes. She pushed the buttons. The machine started. Lily smiled.

"This butter is not yummy. It is ugly. It tastes bad." + +"Yuck!" Ben said. "You are right. It is ugly. It makes me feel sick." + +They threw the bread and the butter away. They wanted to go home. But then, they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my butter and my bread?" It was a mean man. He was the owner of the butter and the bread. He was angry. + +He ran towards Lily and Ben. He grabbed them by their arms. He was strong and scary. + +"That butter and that bread are mine. They are not for you. They are for my dog. He likes ugly butter. And now, you will pay for stealing them. You will come with me to my house. And you will meet my dog. He is big and hungry. And he likes children." + +Lily and Ben were afraid. They tried to scream and run. But it was too late. The mean man took them away. And they never came back. +Ben and Lily went to the big water place with Mom and Dad. They saw many fish and animals in the water. They liked to look at them and learn their names. One animal was very big and had eight arms. It was an octopus. Ben and Lily wanted to touch it, but Mom and Dad said no. + +The octopus was not happy in the water place. It was too small and too cold for him. He missed his home in the warm and deep water. He missed his friends and family. He wanted to go back. He was sad and lonely. + +One day, the octopus saw a hole in the wall of his water place.

I will write 'perfect bird'." + +The bird shakes its head. It does not want Lily to write on its cage. It likes its cage clean and shiny. + +"Go away, girl," the bird says.

He sees what Mia says. He is still scared, but he is also curious. He comes closer to the leaf and the spider. + +"Really? It is not bad?" Tom asks. + +"No, it is not bad. It is a friend.

It was delicate. + +"Be careful, Lily!" her mom said. "The bookshelf might fall down. You can hurt yourself and the books. I will help you get the book." + +But Lily did not listen. She wanted the book now. She pulled the book hard. The bookshelf wobbled. The books fell down. The bookshelf broke. Lily fell down too. She cried. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Lily said. "I broke the bookshelf and the books. I was not careful. I was bad." + +Her mom hugged her. "It's okay, Lily," her mom said. "You are not bad. You made a mistake. You can learn from it. Next time, you can ask me for help. I will always help you. I love you." + +Lily smiled. She said, "I love you too, mom. Can we still read the book?" + +Her mom nodded. She said, "Yes, we can. The book is not broken. It is a magic book. It can become anything you want. It can become a fairy, a dragon, a star, or a flower. What do you want it to become?" + +Lily thought for a moment.

He says to Lily, "Let's open the jar and try the salt. It looks white and shiny." + +Lily is not sure. She says, "No, Ben, we should not open the jar. Mom said salt is not good for us. It can make us thirsty and sick. And we should not touch things in the kitchen without asking." + +But Ben does not listen. He climbs on a chair and reaches for the jar. He twists the lid and opens it. He puts his hand in the jar and grabs some salt. He puts it in his mouth and makes a face. He says, "Yuck! The salt is not sweet. It is very salty and bitter. I don't like it." + +Lily laughs and says, "I told you, Ben, salt is not good for us. You should spit it out and drink some water. And we should close the jar and put it back." + +Ben spits out the salt and drinks some water. He feels sorry and says, "You are right, Lily, salt is not good for us. I should have listened to you and Mom. I'm sorry I opened the jar and made a mess." + +Lily smiles and says, "It's okay, Ben, I forgive you. But next time, let's play with something else. How about we play with the brown teddy bear and the blue ball?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, let's play with the brown teddy bear and the blue ball. They are more fun and less salty." They close the jar and put it back. They take the brown teddy bear and the blue ball and go to the living room. They play happily and forget about the salt. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with a lot of snow. They wanted to slide down the hill on their sleds.

Help!" they shouted. + +Mom heard them and came to the hill. She saw them stuck on their sleds. She was worried and angry. + +"What are you doing here? It is dark and cold. You should have come back earlier. You could get sick or hurt," mom said. + +She helped them get off their sleds and took them home. She gave them hot chocolate and soup. She hugged them and said, "I love you, but you have to listen to me. I know what is best for you. Next time, do not try to slide when it is dark and cold.

She did not understand why the lizard did not like her. She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, the lizard ran away from me. It did not want to be my friend. Why?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Lily, the lizard is not a toy. It is a wild animal. It is scared of people. It likes to be alone. You should not bother it. You should respect it." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She said, "I'm sorry, lizard. I did not mean to scare you. You are beautiful, but I will leave you alone." + +She went back to the garden and looked for other things to play with. She saw a butterfly, a snail, and a worm.

One day she asked her parents if she could go outside and rock. Her parents said yes, so she hurried outside. She made her way to the big brown rocking chair and eagerly hopped in. + +Back and forth she rocked, feeling the chair rock beneath her. She was so happy to be rocking in the warm sunshine! Suddenly, her chair started to feel strange...there was noise coming from somewhere. As the noise grew louder, she realized what was happening. + +Her parents had pushed the chair from behind, making it move faster than when she was rocking alone!

Maybe if you are very still and quiet, it will land on your finger." + +Peter carefully sat down on the ground and waited. Sure enough, the spark flew over and landed on his finger. Peter smiled and said, "It's so green. Can we keep it?" + +His mother smiled and said, "No, it's happier living in the forest with its friends. Let's let it go." + +So Peter said goodbye to the spark and they resumed their walk. Peter grinned and said, "That was fun."

It had a big door that was slightly open. He was so excited! Cautiously, he crept inside and found the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.

Time passed and the kitchen filled with a delicious smell. Finally, Millie's bake was ready. + +Millie opened the oven and saw a fluffy cake with a golden top.

Sophie was still brave, and continued to wave until the ambulance was out of sight. +Once upon a time, there was a brave little girl named Ella. Ella really wanted to explore the woods, but her mom said no. That didn't stop her though, she sneakily tip-toed out of the house and right into the woods. + +Suddenly, Ella heard a loud noise. She panicked and started to run. She was so scared and didn't know what to do. But then she took a deep breath and took a brave step forward. She followed the path until she saw a clearing. To her surprise, she saw a family of raccoons. + +The raccoons said "Ella! What are you doing here?" Ella was so relieved and she replied, "I'm just exploring."

She asked Jim to find two more rocks and after he had, she showed him how to stack them together. These rocks were now just as reliable as Jim's original rock. + +Jim learned an important lesson that day - something can be trusted even if it's not perfect.

"It's too cold," she exclaimed. + +Her father smiled at her and said, "That's because it's still spring! It will get warmer soon." + +Emma still wasn't happy. She hated that it was too cold to go out and explore. "It's not fair", she said. + +But Emma's father reminded her of all the wonderful things spring brought.

The family was very disappointed. +Jimmy and his mom were very excited. They were going to the zoo! Jimmy could barely contain his joy as they drove up to the gate. + +Mom pulled out the tickets and they went in.

Let's record this moment." + +They both laughed as Jimmy yelled "Amond the elephant!" while waving his hands at the animal. + +When they went to the bathroom, Jimmy made sure to point out the toilet.

It can tell when it's time to calm down and when it's time to be fierce!" + +Paul was delighted to hear this, so he tried to remember what his father said. He thought about it for a few moments and then asked, "Why is the sea intelligent?" + +His father replied, "Because it knows how to take care of itself, and it knows how to respond to different situations." + +Paul nodded in understanding. He felt grateful to be able to learn from his father and be so close to such an intelligent sea. +Polly and her family lived in a tiny house on the beach. During summer days they liked to count the waves as they rolled in. But one summer day, Polly's family noticed something different. They heard the rumble of thunder and saw the clouds in the sky. Polly's mother told her and her brothers, "We need to be careful today. It looks like a hurricane is coming!" + +Polly and her brothers were scared and stayed inside all day. They peeked out the window to watch. They saw the trees swaying, and the fancy kites blowing away. People outside were running, seeking shelter from the storm. + +As the winds got stronger, Polly's family went to the basement for safety. Her father hugged them tight, saying, "Count with me, don't be afraid."

We can play a game and number together." + +But the second triangle just shook his head. He said, "I don't have energy to do all those things." + +The first triangle was sad.

It's ok. I know what happened," she said. + +"What is it, mom?" asked Tommy. + +"It looks like it was the wind," she said.

But first, let's dry it and put it away. And then, maybe you need a bath too." + +Ben says, "Okay, Mom. But can we do it together?" + +Mom says, "Of course, Ben. We can do it together. It will be fun. Come on, let's go." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the value of taking care of your belongings, being responsible, and listening to your parents.

They liked to gather leaves and flowers and make art with them. They also liked to swing and slide and run with their dog, Spot. + +One day, they saw a big hill in the park that they had never seen before. It looked like a fun place to explore. They asked their mom if they could go there. She said yes, but be careful and don't go too far. + +Tim and Kim ran to the hill with Spot. They climbed and rolled and laughed. They found a cave that looked dark and scary. Tim wanted to go inside, but Kim was afraid. She said, "No, Tim, it might be dangerous. There might be monsters or snakes or spiders. Let's go back to mom." + +Tim said, "Don't be silly, Kim. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just a cave. I want to see what's inside. Maybe there's treasure or bones or something cool. Come on, Spot, let's go." + +Tim and Spot went into the cave, leaving Kim behind. Kim felt sad and scared. She wanted to go with Tim, but she also wanted to be safe. She wished Tim would listen to her. She sat on the grass and waited. + +Tim and Spot walked deeper into the cave. It was dark and cold and wet. They used a flashlight to see. They saw rocks and dirt and bugs. They didn't see any treasure or bones or anything cool. They heard a noise that sounded like a growl. Tim felt his brain freeze. He was afraid. He wished he had listened to Kim. He turned around and ran. + +He ran back to the cave entrance, where he saw Kim and mom waiting for him. They hugged him and asked him what happened. He told them he heard a scary noise and ran away. He said he was sorry for not listening to Kim. He said he learned his lesson. He said he didn't want to go into caves anymore. + +Kim said, "It's okay, Tim. I'm glad you're safe. I'm sorry for being scared. I learned my lesson too. I don't want to miss out on fun with you." + +Mom said, "I'm proud of both of you for being brave and honest. I'm happy you're back. Let's go home and have some cookies and milk." + +They walked back to the car, holding hands and smiling. Spot wagged his tail and licked their faces. They felt peaceful and happy. They had a good day in the park. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it.

She was ready to leave. + +Lily and Ben did not want to go home. They wanted to play more. They did not listen to their mom. They kicked the ball harder and farther. + +"Please, hurry up, it's getting dark!" their mom said again. She was worried and angry. She got up from the bench and walked towards them. + +But then, a stranger came out of the bushes. He was big and scary. He had a terrible smile and a dirty coat. He grabbed the ball and ran away. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Lily shouted. She and Ben ran after the stranger. They wanted their ball back. + +"Stop, kids, stop!" their mom yelled. She tried to catch them, but they were too fast. She was scared and sad. + +The stranger ran to the street. He did not look for cars. He crossed the road with the ball. + +Lily and Ben followed him. They did not look for cars either. They crossed the road with him. + +But there was a car coming. It was fast and loud. It did not see them. It hit them. + +Lily and Ben fell to the ground.

One day, she saw a big hill near her house and wanted to climb it. She asked her mom if she could go, and her mom said yes, but only if she took her whistle with her. + +"Take this whistle, Lily, and if you get lost or need help, blow it loud and I will hear you," her mom said. + +"Okay, mom, thank you!" Lily said. She put the whistle around her neck and waved goodbye to her mom. She started to walk to the hill, feeling excited and curious. + +The hill was very high and steep, and Lily had to use her hands and feet to climb. She saw many things on the way, like flowers, rocks, and bugs. She also heard many sounds, like birds, wind, and leaves. She felt happy and proud of herself. + +But when she reached the top of the hill, she realized that she did not know how to go back. She looked around and saw that everything looked different from up there. She could not see her house or her mom. She felt scared and alone. + +She remembered her whistle and took it out of her neck. She blew it as hard as she could, hoping that her mom would hear her. She blew it again and again, but no one came. She started to cry and wished she had not gone so far. + +Then, she heard a familiar voice. It was her mom, calling her name. She looked and saw her mom running up the hill, waving her arms. She felt relieved and happy. She waved back and ran to hug her mom. + +"Lily, I'm so glad you're okay! I heard your whistle and came as fast as I could. You were very brave to use it and let me know where you were," her mom said. + +"I'm sorry, mom, I got lost and scared. I wanted to see the hill, but I did not think about how to come back. I won't go so far again without you," Lily said. + +"It's okay, Lily, I understand. You are an adventurous girl and I love that about you. But you also have to be careful and listen to me when I tell you something. Next time, we can go to the hill together and have fun, okay?" her mom said. + +"Okay, mom, I love you," Lily said. + +They hugged and kissed and walked back to their house, holding hands and whistling a happy tune. + +The moral value of the story is: It is good to be adventurous and explore new things, but you also have to be careful and listen to your parents.

They like to help their dad with the animals and the crops. Sometimes, they also help their mom serve food to the workers who come from the mill. The mill is a big place where they make flour and bread from the wheat. + +One day, Ben and Jen see a big truck coming to the mill. They are curious and run to see what it is. They see a man get out of the truck and talk to the boss of the mill. The man has a loud voice and a mean face. He says he wants to buy the mill and make it bigger and louder. He says he will cut down the trees and dig up the land. He says he does not care about the farm or the animals or the people. + +The boss of the mill says no. He says he likes the mill the way it is. He says it is peaceful and good for the earth. He says he does not want to sell it to the man. The man gets angry and shouts. He says he will come back with more money and more trucks and more men. He says he will make the boss change his mind. + +Ben and Jen are scared and sad. They do not want the man to ruin the mill and the farm. They run back to their mom and tell her what they saw and heard. Their mom hugs them and says they will be okay. She says they will stick together and protect their home.

She says they will love the animals and the crops and the trees. She says they will keep their farm peaceful and happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. But sometimes they wanted the same block and they got angry. + +"Give me that block!" Lily said. She tried to take a red block from Ben's hand. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. He held the block tight and pulled it away. + +They both pulled and pulled until SNAP! The block broke in two pieces. They looked at the broken block and felt sad. + +"Why did you break the block?" Lily asked. + +"Why did you take the block?" Ben asked. + +They both had a question, but no answer. They realized they had been mean to each other and to the block. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I should have shared with you." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "I should have asked you nicely." + +They hugged and said they were sorry to the block too. They decided to play together and share the blocks. They learned that being kind and gentle is better than being greedy and rough. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They ran to the slide and took turns sliding down. They had a lot of fun. + +Then they saw a lady with a big hat, a long dress, and a stick. She looked like a witch. Ben and Lily were scared. They hid behind their mom. + +"Hello, children," the lady said. "Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad witch. I'm a jolly witch. I like to make people happy. Do you want to see a surprise?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were curious. + +The lady waved her stick and said some funny words. Then she pointed at the slide. The slide turned into a rainbow. Ben and Lily gasped. They had never seen a rainbow slide before. + +"Wow!" they said. "That's amazing!" + +The lady smiled. "Do you want to try it?" she asked. + +Ben and Lily looked at their mom. She nodded. They ran to the rainbow slide and slid down. They felt the colors on their skin. They laughed and cheered. + +The lady clapped her hands. "I'm glad you like it," she said. "You can play with it as long as you want. Have a jolly day!" + +Ben and Lily thanked the lady. They hugged her and gave her a kiss. They played with the rainbow slide until it was time to go home. They waved goodbye to the lady. They had the best day ever. +Lila was a little girl who liked to knit. She had a big box of wool in many colors. She liked to make hats and scarves and mittens for her family and friends. She was very good at knitting. + +One day, she decided to make a hat for her brother Tom. She picked a blue wool that was soft and warm. She started to knit the hat with her needles. She was very happy. + +She saw a cat outside her window. The cat was black and white and had a bell on its collar. The cat looked cold and hungry. Lila felt sorry for the cat. She opened the window and called the cat. + +"Hello, cat. What is your name?" she asked. + +The cat came closer and meowed. It jumped on the windowsill and rubbed its head on Lila's hand. + +"I don't know your name, but you are very cute. Do you want some milk?" Lila said. + +The cat nodded and licked its lips. Lila went to the kitchen and poured some milk in a bowl. She brought the bowl to the cat and put it on the floor. The cat drank the milk and purred. + +"Thank you, little girl. You are very kind. I am grateful for your milk," the cat said. + +Lila smiled and stroked the cat's fur. She liked the cat very much. She wanted to keep the cat as her friend. + +"Can you stay with me, cat? I will give you more milk and food and a warm bed. I will also give you a hat to keep your ears warm. I am knitting a hat for my brother, but I can make another one for you. Do you like blue wool?" Lila said. + +The cat looked at the hat on Lila's lap. It saw the blue wool and the needles. It had an idea. + +"Yes, I like blue wool very much. And I like hats too. Can I see your hat?" the cat said. + +Lila nodded and picked up the hat. She showed it to the cat. + +"See, this is the hat I am making. It is almost done. I just need to finish the last row and make a pom-pom. Do you like it?" Lila said. + +The cat pretended to admire the hat. It waited for the right moment. Then, it grabbed the hat with its claws and ran away. It took the hat and the blue wool and the needles. It jumped out of the window and ran to the street. + +"Hey, cat! Stop! That is my hat! Give it back!" Lila shouted. + +But the cat did not stop. It did not care about Lila or her brother or her kindness. It only cared about the blue wool. It wanted to make a nest with the wool and the hat. It was a greedy and selfish cat. + +Lila was very sad and angry. She cried and cried. She had no hat for her brother and no wool to knit. She had no cat to be her friend. She had nothing. She wished she never met the cat. She wished she never opened the window. She wished she never asked the cat its name. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toy cars on the floor. They like to make them go fast and make loud noises. Lily has a red car and Ben has a blue car. They pretend they are racing on a big road. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily says and pushes her car forward. Ben does the same and tries to catch up with her. They zoom past the sofa, the table and the chair. They are having fun. + +But then they see a big brown box in their way. It is Mom's new box that came in the mail. She told them not to touch it or open it. She said it has a surprise for them inside. + +"Oh no, the box!" Lily says and tries to stop her car. But it is too late. Her car hits the box and makes a loud bang. The box falls over and something comes out of it. It is a big brown teddy bear with a red bow. + +"Wow, a teddy bear!" Ben says and stops his car too. He runs to the box and picks up the bear. He hugs it and smiles. "It is so soft and cuddly. Thank you, Mom!" + +Lily is not happy. She wanted to win the race. She wanted to see the surprise. She looks at her car and sees that it is broken. The wheel is bent and the paint is scratched. She feels sad and angry. + +"Ben, you are mean!" she says and starts to cry. "You made me crash my car. You took my surprise. You ruined everything!" + +Ben is confused. He did not mean to hurt Lily or her car. He did not know what was in the box. He just wanted to play and have fun. He likes the teddy bear, but he likes Lily more. He wants to make her happy. + +"Lily, I am sorry!" he says and puts down the bear. "I did not make you crash your car. It was an accident. I did not take your surprise. It was for both of us. I did not ruin everything. We can still play and have fun. Here, you can have the teddy bear. I will share it with you." + +He holds out the bear to Lily and smiles. He hopes she will forgive him and stop crying. He hopes they can still be friends and play together. + +Lily looks at Ben and the bear. She sees that he is sorry and that he is nice. She remembers that he is her brother and that she loves him. She wipes her tears and smiles too. She takes the bear and hugs it. She hugs Ben too. + +"Ben, I am sorry too!" she says. "You did not mean to hurt me or my car. It was an accident. You did not take my surprise. It was for both of us. You did not ruin everything. We can still play and have fun. Thank you for sharing the teddy bear. I will share it with you too." + +They hug and laugh. They forget about the box and the cars. They play with the teddy bear and make up stories. They are happy. Mom hears them and smiles. She is glad they are getting along. She is glad they like the surprise. She is glad she prevented a big fight. +Lily and Tom were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were animals and run around the grass. Lily was a rabbit and Tom was a fox. They chased each other and had fun. + +But then they saw something shiny and black near the fence. It was a grill. They had never seen it before. They were curious and wanted to touch it. They did not know it was hot and dangerous. + +"Look, Lily, a grill!" Tom said. "Let's go see it!" + +"No, Tom, we should not go there. It is not ours. It is for grown-ups." Lily said. She was anxious. She felt something was wrong. + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the grill and put his paw on it. He screamed. It was very hot. It burned his paw. He was in pain. He tried to escape, but he was stuck. The grill had a lid and it closed on his paw. He could not move it. + +Lily heard Tom scream. She was scared. She ran to help him. She tried to open the lid, but it was too heavy. She could not lift it. She cried. She did not know what to do. + +They heard footsteps. It was the owner of the grill. He was angry. He saw the two animals on his grill. He thought they were trying to steal his food. He grabbed a stick and hit them. He hit them hard. They hurt. They could not escape. They wished they had never gone to the grill. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they could go back to their game. But it was too late. The end. +Lily and Tom were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower. Lily had many blue blocks and Tom had many red blocks. They put their blocks together and made a tall tower. + +"Look, our tower is so high!" Lily said. "We are good builders." + +"Yes, we are," Tom said. "But I want to make it higher. Give me some of your blue blocks." + +Lily frowned. She liked her blue blocks. She did not want to share them. "No, I want to keep them. They are mine. You have enough red blocks." + +Tom was angry. He thought Lily was selfish. He wanted to have some blue blocks too. He did not like to play with only red blocks. "That is not fair. You have to share. Sharing is good. If you do not share, I will knock down our tower." + +Lily was scared. She did not want Tom to knock down their tower. She liked their tower. But she also liked her blue blocks. She did not know what to do. + +Sam saw them arguing. He was their friend. He wanted to help them. He had an idea. He went to them and said, "Why don't you use some of my blocks? I have yellow and green blocks. They are nice colors. You can make your tower more colorful and more high. Then you can both be happy." + +Lily and Tom looked at Sam. They looked at his blocks. They saw that he had many yellow and green blocks. They thought his blocks were nice. They liked his idea. + +"Okay, let's try that," Lily said. She gave Tom some of her blue blocks and took some of Sam's yellow blocks. + +"Thank you, Lily," Tom said. He gave Lily some of his red blocks and took some of Sam's green blocks. + +"Thank you, Sam," they both said. They used Sam's blocks and their own blocks and made their tower more colorful and more high. + +They smiled at each other. They were happy. They were good friends. They thanked Sam again. Sam was happy too. He was a good friend. He liked to share. He liked to suggest. He liked to play with Lily and Tom. They had fun with their blocks. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They pretend that the doll and the car are friends and go on adventures together. + +"Let's make a house for them," Anna says. "We can use this box and some tape." + +"OK," Ben says. He finds a roll of tape and helps Anna cut some pieces. They stick the tape on the box and make windows and a door. They also draw some flowers and a sun on the box. + +"Look, our house is done!" Anna says. She puts the doll inside and Ben puts the car next to it. "They are very happy." + +"They need some water," Ben says. He runs to the kitchen and fills a small cup with water. He brings it back to the living room and puts it near the box. "Here, they can drink this." + +"Be careful, Ben," Anna says. "The cup is delicate. It can break." + +"I know, I know," Ben says. He picks up the cup and pretends to give some water to the doll and the car. "Drink, drink, drink. You are thirsty." + +But as he is doing that, he trips over a toy and drops the cup. It falls on the floor and shatters into pieces. The water spills everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Anna and Ben say together. They look at the broken cup and the wet floor. They are scared and sad. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" they call. "We made a mess. We are sorry." +Anna and Ben were playing with their toy volcano in the garden. They liked to pretend that it was a real volcano that could make fire and smoke. They used red and orange paper to make the fire and cotton balls to make the smoke. They also had some toy dinosaurs that lived near the volcano. + +"Roar!" Ben said, making his dinosaur stomp around the volcano. "I am the king of the dinosaurs! No one can stop me!" + +"Roar!" Anna said, making her dinosaur run away from the volcano. "I am scared of the fire! It is too hot!" + +They played like this for a long time, until they heard their mom call them for lunch. + +"Come on, Anna and Ben, it's time to eat!" Mom said. "Put away your toys and wash your hands!" + +Anna and Ben nodded and ran to the house. They were hungry and wanted to eat. They forgot to put away their toys. + +While they were eating, a strong wind blew in the garden. It picked up the paper fire and the cotton smoke and carried them away. It also knocked over the toy volcano and made it roll down the hill. The toy dinosaurs fell off the volcano and got lost in the grass. + +When Anna and Ben finished their lunch, they went back to the garden to play some more. But they could not find their toy volcano or their toy dinosaurs. They looked everywhere, but they were gone. + +"Where is our volcano?" Anna asked, feeling nervous. "Where are our dinosaurs?" + +"I don't know," Ben said, feeling nervous too. "Maybe the wind took them away." + +They felt sad and started to cry. They loved their toy volcano and their toy dinosaurs. They did not want to lose them. + +Mom heard them crying and came to the garden. She saw them looking for their toys. + +"What's wrong, Anna and Ben?" Mom asked. "Why are you crying?" + +"We lost our volcano and our dinosaurs," Anna said, sobbing. "The wind took them away." + +Mom hugged them and tried to comfort them. + +"I'm sorry, Anna and Ben," Mom said. "That's very sad. But maybe we can find them. Let's look together." + +Mom helped them look for their toys. They searched the garden, the hill, and the street. After a while, they found the paper fire and the cotton smoke in a neighbor's yard. They also found the toy volcano and two of the toy dinosaurs in a ditch. But they could not find the third toy dinosaur. + +"Look, we found most of your toys!" Mom said, smiling. "That's good, right?" + +"Yes, that's good," Anna said, smiling too. "But we still miss our other dinosaur. He was my favorite." + +"Me too," Ben said, nodding. "He was the king of the dinosaurs." + +Mom nodded and hugged them again. + +"I know, Anna and Ben," Mom said. "But maybe he is not lost forever. Maybe he is having an adventure somewhere. Maybe he will come back someday. And until then, you can play with your other toys and have fun." + +Anna and Ben thought about what Mom said. They felt a little better. They thanked Mom for helping them and took their toys back to the garden. They decided to play with their volcano and their dinosaurs again. They hoped that their other dinosaur was happy and safe. They hoped that he would come back someday. +Lily and Ben are twins who like to play in the kitchen. They have many toys and pots and pans to make pretend food. But they are also very competitive. They always want to have the best toy or the most food. + +One day, they find a big cake on the table. It looks yummy and sweet. They both want to have a big slice of cake. They do not want to share. They start to fight over the cake. They pull and push and shout. They make a big mess in the kitchen. + +Mom comes in and sees the cake and the mess. She is angry and sad. She says, "Lily and Ben, why are you fighting over the cake? You have ruined it and the kitchen. You should be kind and share with each other. Fighting is not nice. It only makes you and others unhappy." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were selfish and greedy. We did not think about you or each other. We will not fight anymore. We will share and be nice." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "That's good, my loves. Sharing is caring. It makes you and others happy. And you know what? I have another cake in the fridge. You can each have a slice if you help me clean the kitchen." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They help Mom clean the kitchen. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you and we love cake. And we love each other." They hug and kiss and eat their cake. They learn their lesson. Fighting is bad. Sharing is good. +Lily and Max were very excited to decorate their house for Halloween. They had many pumpkins, spiders, bats and ghosts to hang on the walls and windows. They wanted to make their house look scary and fun for the trick-or-treaters. + +"Look, Max, I made a big spider web with yarn!" Lily said, showing her brother her craft. + +"Wow, that's awesome, Lily! And look, I made a spooky ghost with a sheet and a balloon!" Max said, holding his ghost in the air. + +They were having a great time, but they did not know that a big storm was coming. A hurricane was blowing strong winds and rain over the sea, and it was moving towards their town. Their mom and dad were watching the news on TV, and they looked worried. + +"Lily, Max, come here, please. We have to talk to you," their mom called them. + +They ran to the living room, and saw their parents' serious faces. + +"What's wrong, mom?" Lily asked. + +"There's a hurricane coming, sweeties. It's a very big and dangerous storm. We have to leave our house and go to a safer place," their dad explained. + +"A hurricane? What's that?" Max asked. + +"It's like a giant wind that spins and makes a lot of noise and water. It can break things and hurt people. That's why we have to go," their mom said. + +"But what about our decorations? We worked so hard on them!" Lily said, feeling sad. + +"I know, honey, but they are not important right now. We have to take only what we need and go quickly. Maybe we can decorate again when we come back," their dad said, trying to comfort her. + +They packed some clothes, food, water and toys in a big bag, and got in their car. They drove away from their house, hoping that the hurricane would not be too bad. They looked back at their decorations, and wondered if they would see them again. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. Lily has a furry doll that she loves very much. Max has a car that he can push and make noises with. + +One day, Max wants to play with Lily's doll. He thinks it is soft and cute. He tries to take it from Lily, but she says no.

She does not like Max's words. She tells him to stop, but he does not listen. He keeps teasing her and making fun of her doll. Lily starts to cry. She runs to the bathroom and locks the door. She wants to be alone with her doll. + +Max feels sorry. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He just wanted to play with her doll. He knocks on the bathroom door and says he is sorry. He asks Lily to come out and play with him. He says he will not tease her anymore. He says he will share his car with her. + +Lily hears Max's voice. She wipes her tears and opens the door. She sees Max's face. He looks sad and sorry. She forgives him and hugs him. She says she is sorry too. She says she will share her doll with him. They go back to the living room and play with their toys. They are happy again. +Lily and Ben were going to camp with Mom and Dad. They were very happy. They liked to sleep in a big tent and make fire and sing songs. They packed their bags and got in the car. + +The car drove for a long time. Lily and Ben saw many trees and hills and cows. They played a game of counting the cows. They ate some snacks and drank some juice. They asked Mom and Dad when they would get to camp. + +Soon, they saw a sign that said "Camp Sunny". They turned into a dirt road and drove some more. They found a nice spot to park the car and set up the tent. Mom and Dad helped Lily and Ben to hang their sleeping bags inside the tent. They also hung a lantern and some clothes on a rope. + +They had a lot of fun at camp. They went for a walk and saw some birds and squirrels. They collected some sticks and stones and pine cones. They made a fire and roasted some marshmallows. They sang some songs and told some stories. They brushed their teeth and got ready for bed. + +But when they got inside the tent, they felt something wet and cold. The ground was muddy and the sleeping bags were damp. The rain had leaked through the tent. Lily and Ben felt uncomfortable. They did not want to sleep in the wet tent. They cried and hugged Mom and Dad. + +Mom and Dad felt sorry for Lily and Ben. They decided to pack up and go back to the car. They put the sleeping bags and the clothes and the lantern in the trunk. They folded the tent and put it on the roof. They drove away from camp. + +They found a motel nearby and checked in. They got a room with two beds and a TV. They took a shower and changed into dry clothes. They snuggled in the warm beds and watched a cartoon. They felt comfortable and happy. They said good night and fell asleep. They dreamed of camp. +Sara and Ben were playing in the backyard.

They did not want to have a bath. They wanted to stay outside. + +They ran to the fence and hid behind a bush. They hoped Mom would not find them. They whispered to each other. "Maybe we can stay here until it is dark," Sara said. "Maybe Mom will forget about us," Ben said. + +But Mom did not forget about them. She came outside and looked for them. She saw their footprints in the mud. She followed them to the fence. She found them behind the bush. She was not happy. + +"Sara! Ben! What are you doing? You are filthy! You need to have a bath right now!" Mom said. She grabbed their hands and pulled them inside. Sara and Ben did not want to go. They cried and kicked and screamed. + +Mom took them to the bathroom and put them in the tub. She washed their hair and their faces and their bodies. She scrubbed them with soap and water. She rinsed them with the shower. She dried them with a towel. She put them in clean clothes. She combed their hair. She made them look nice. + +Sara and Ben did not like the bath. They did not like the soap and the water and the towel. They did not like the clean clothes and the comb. They wanted to be filthy again.

They liked to pretend they were explorers and find new things. They saw a big hill with a hole on top. They wondered what it was. + +"Let's go and see the hill," Tom said. "Maybe it has treasure inside." + +"OK," Lily agreed. "But we have to be careful. It might be a volcano." + +They ran to the hill and climbed up. They looked inside the hole. It was dark and smoky. They heard a loud noise. It was the volcano. It was angry and rude. It spat fire and rocks at them. + +"Run!" Tom shouted. "The volcano is weeping!" + +They ran down the hill as fast as they could. They dodged the fire and rocks. They reached the garden and hid behind a tree. They were scared and dirty. + +"Are you OK?" Lily asked Tom. + +"Yes, I'm OK," Tom said. "But that was a bad volcano. It was very mean to us." + +"I know," Lily said. "It should say sorry. We only wanted to see it." + +They hugged each other and waited for the volcano to calm down. They hoped it would not weep again. They decided to play with something else. They did not like the volcano. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big red truck with a loud siren. It was a fire truck. They wanted to see it up close. + +"Come on, Tom, let's go!" Lila said. She ran towards the truck. Tom followed her. They did not see the sign that said "Keep Out". + +They climbed into the truck. It was very hot inside. There were many buttons and levers and hoses. Lila pushed a button. The truck started to move. + +"Help, help!" Tom shouted. He was scared. He tried to open the door, but it was locked. He could not get out. + +Lila panicked. She did not know what to do. She pulled a lever. The truck went faster. It drove out of the park and into the street. There were many cars and people. They honked and yelled. + +"Stop, stop!" Lila cried. She pushed another button. The truck did not stop. It crashed into a big tree. The truck broke. The firemen came. They were angry. Lila and Tom were hurt. They had to go to the hospital. They were in big trouble. They wished they had not gone into the truck. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and make things. One day, they find a big box of rags in the garage. They have a creative idea. + +"Let's make rag dolls!" Mia says. "We can use buttons for eyes and yarn for hair." + +"Good idea!" Tom says. "We can also make clothes and hats for them." + +They work hard and make two rag dolls. One is a boy and one is a girl. They give them names. The boy is Ben and the girl is Lily. + +"Look, our rag dolls are done!" Mia says. "They are so cute and soft." + +"Let's play with them!" Tom says. "We can pretend they are going on a picnic." + +They take the rag dolls and a basket of snacks to the backyard. They spread a blanket on the grass and sit down.

"Do you want to play catch, Ben?" + +"Sure, I do!" Tom makes Ben say. "Thank you, Tom!" + +"You're welcome, Ben!" Tom says. He picks up Ben and throws him gently to Mia. Mia catches him and throws him back to Tom. They laugh and have fun. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They love their rag dolls and their creative play. They are good friends. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite ones were the dinosaurs. They liked to make them roar and fight and run around the carpet. + +"Look, Lily, this is a T-rex!" Tim said, holding up a big green dinosaur with sharp teeth. "He is the king of the dinosaurs. He can eat anything he wants." + +"Wow, he is scary!" Lily said, holding a smaller yellow dinosaur with a long neck. "What is this one called?" + +"That is a bronto-saurus," Tim said. "He is very big and gentle. He only eats plants. He is friends with the T-rex." + +"Really? How do you know?" Lily asked. + +"Because I read it in a book," Tim said. "The book tells me about the history of the dinosaurs. History means what happened a long time ago, before we were born." + +"That sounds interesting," Lily said. "Can I see the book?" + +"Sure, it is in my room," Tim said. "But we have to be careful. The book is very expensive. It was a gift from Grandpa. He loves dinosaurs too." + +Tim and Lily went to Tim's room and found the book on his shelf. It was a big book with colorful pictures and words. Tim opened it and showed Lily some of the pages. + +"Look, here are more dinosaurs," Tim said. "This one is a stego-saurus. He has spikes on his back and tail. This one is a tricera-tops. He has three horns on his head and a big shield." + +"They are so cool!" Lily said. "Can we attach them to the book?" + +"Attach? What does that mean?" Tim asked. + +"It means to stick them on," Lily said. "Like this." She took a piece of tape and stuck her yellow dinosaur on the page with the bronto-saurus. + +"No, Lily, don't do that!" Tim said. "You will ruin the book! The book is not for attaching toys. It is for reading and learning." + +"But I want to make them friends," Lily said. "They look lonely." + +"They are not lonely, they are happy," Tim said. "They have each other. And we have them. We can play with them without attaching them. Please, Lily, take off the tape and the toy." + +Lily looked at Tim and saw that he was upset. She did not want to make him sad. She liked Tim and his dinosaurs. She took off the tape and the toy and gave them back to Tim. + +"I'm sorry, Tim," Lily said. "I did not know it was a bad thing to do. I just wanted to have fun." + +"It's okay, Lily," Tim said. "I forgive you. I know you did not mean to hurt the book. You are my friend. And so are the dinosaurs. Do you want to play with them some more?" + +"Yes, please," Lily said. "But only on the carpet. Not on the book." + +"Okay, deal," Tim said. "Let's go back to the living room and make them roar and fight and run around." + +Tim and Lily smiled and hugged each other. Then they took their dinosaurs and went back to the living room. They had a lot of fun playing with their toys and learning about the history of the dinosaurs. +Tom and Sue are brother and sister.

It was round and smooth and had a crack in it. + +"Look, Mia, what is this?" Tom asked, holding the shell. + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe it is a special shell. Can we open it?" Mia said, curious. + +They tried to open the shell, but it was hard. They used a stick and a rock, but they could not open it. They asked their mom for help, but she said they should leave it alone. + +"It is an oyster, Tom and Mia. It is a living thing that lives in the water. It has a soft part inside that it protects with its shell. Sometimes, it can make a shiny thing called a pearl. But we don't know if this one has a pearl or not. And we should not hurt it by trying to open it," mom said. + +Tom and Mia looked at the oyster with wonder. They decided to leave it alone, but they wanted to make something for it. They used some shells and stones and sand to create a little house for the oyster. They put it near the water, so the oyster could feel the waves. + +"Here, oyster, this is your new home. We made it for you. We hope you like it. And we hope you are happy," Tom and Mia said to the oyster. + +The oyster did not say anything, but it felt the kindness of the young children.

He was very proud of his drawings and wanted to show them to everyone. + +One day, he decided to display his drawings on the wall of his room. He used tape to stick them on the wall.

He did not understand why his mom and dad did not like his drawings. He thought they were beautiful and fun. He started to cry and said, "But I like them! They are blue! Blue is my favorite color!" + +His mom and dad shook their heads and said, "Blue is not the only color, Tom. There are many other colors that are also nice and pretty. You should not draw only with blue. You should use different colors and make your drawings more colorful and interesting. And you should not display your drawings on the wall. You should use paper or a book or a board. The wall is not for drawing. It is for painting or wallpaper or pictures. You have to learn to respect the wall and the house and the people who live here." + +Tom felt very ashamed and sorry. He realized that he had made a mistake and that he had been selfish and rude. He said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I did not mean to ruin the wall. I did not know that you would not like my drawings.

It also shows that one should not damage or disrespect other people's property or feelings, but should be careful and considerate and apologize when one makes a mistake. It also shows that one should be willing to learn from one's parents and others, and to improve oneself and one's skills. +Tim and Liz were twins who liked to play with their toys.

She can touch the package. + +"Are you ready?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, I am ready," Lily says. + +She pulls the red bow. The package opens. Inside, there are many balloons. They are all different colors.

I miss my drum." His mom says, "I am sorry, Tim. That was not nice of Sam. He should not have taken your drum. Maybe he will give it back tomorrow. But we cannot go into the dark woods. It is too dangerous. There might be animals or bad people there. We have to go home now. It is late." + +Tim and his mom go home. Tim is still sad. He does not have his drum. He does not have his friend. He hopes Sam will give him back his drum. He hopes Sam will say sorry. He hopes Sam will be his friend again. But he does not know if Sam will do that.

He always wanted to see what Sara and Ben were doing. He jumped on the counter and walked towards the pot. + +"Fluffy, no!" Sara shouted. "That's our soup! You can't have it!" + +But Fluffy did not listen. He stuck his head in the pot and licked the sauce. He liked the sauce. He wanted more sauce. He tried to climb in the pot. + +But the pot was too hot. Fluffy felt the heat and yowled. He jumped out of the pot and ran away. He left a trail of sauce behind him. + +"Fluffy, you silly cat!" Ben said. "You made a mess! And you burned your tongue!" + +Sara and Ben looked at the pot. The sauce was all over the counter and the floor. It was not soup anymore. It was a disaster. + +They decided to clean up the mess and make a new soup. They hoped Fluffy would not be nosy again. +Ben and Lily are playing in the kitchen. They see a big cake on the table. It has white cream and red berries on top. It looks yummy. + +"Can we taste the cake?" Ben asks Lily. + +"I don't know. Mom said we have to wait for her," Lily says. + +"But I'm hungry. And the cake smells good," Ben says. + +He reaches for the cake with his hand. He grabs the handle of the knife. He wants to cut a slice. + +"Ben, no! Be careful!" Lily shouts. + +The knife is sharp. It can hurt Ben. Lily tries to stop him. She pulls his arm. + +But it is too late. The knife slips. It cuts Ben's finger. Ben drops the knife. He cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Ben says. + +Lily feels sorry for Ben. She hugs him. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Let me see your finger." + +She looks at his finger. It has a little cut. It bleeds a little. She gets a napkin. She wraps it around his finger. + +"Does it feel better?" Lily asks. + +"A little," Ben says. + +They hear Mom coming. They are scared. They know they did something bad. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We wanted to taste the cake. But Ben cut his finger," Lily says. + +Mom sees the cake, the knife, and the napkin. She is angry. But she is also worried. + +"Ben, Lily, what did you do? You know you're not supposed to touch the knife. It's dangerous. And you're not supposed to eat the cake. It's for Grandma's birthday," Mom says. + +She takes Ben's hand. She looks at his finger. She says, "Let me clean your finger. It's not a big cut, but it needs a band-aid." + +She takes them to the bathroom. She washes Ben's finger. She puts a band-aid on it. She kisses it. + +"Does it feel better now?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, Mom. Thank you," Ben says. + +Mom smiles. She says, "You're welcome. But you have to be more careful next time. And you have to listen to me. OK?" + +"OK, Mom. We're sorry. We love you," Ben and Lily say. + +Mom hugs them. She says, "I love you too. But no more cake until Grandma comes. OK?" + +"OK, Mom," Ben and Lily say. + +They go back to the kitchen. They see the cake. It still looks yummy. But they don't touch it. They wait for Grandma. They hope she will share it with them. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy boat in the pond. They make the boat sail with the wind. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big duck in the pond. The duck is hungry. It swims to the boat. It wants to eat the boat. + +"Look, Sam, a duck!" Tom says. + +"Hi, duck!" Sam says. + +The duck opens its mouth. It bites the boat. The boat breaks. + +"Hey, duck, stop!" Tom says. He is angry. + +"Bad duck!" Sam says. He is sad. + +Mom sees them. She runs to them. She warns them. + +"Tom, Sam, be careful! The duck can hurt you. Come here, now!" Mom says. + +Tom and Sam leave the boat. They run to Mom. Mom hugs them. She is glad. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. The duck ate our boat," Tom says. + +"It's okay, Tom. The boat was old. We can get a new one," Mom says. + +"Can we get a bigger boat, Mom? A boat that the duck can't eat?" Sam says. + +"Maybe, Sam. But you have to be nice to the duck. The duck was just hungry. It didn't know the boat was yours," Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom. We will be nice to the duck. But we will also be careful," Tom says. + +Mom smiles. She holds their hands. They go home. They have a tight hug. They are happy. +Ben and Lily liked to play hockey with their dad. They had a small net, two sticks and a ball. They put on their helmets and gloves and ran outside. Dad was waiting for them with a smile. + +"Are you ready to score some goals?" he asked. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben and Lily shouted. + +They took turns to shoot the ball at the net. Dad was the goalie and tried to stop them. Sometimes he did, sometimes he didn't. Ben and Lily cheered when they scored and laughed when they missed. + +They played for a long time, until they were tired and thirsty. They decided to take a break and drink some water. They sat on the grass and looked at the sky. + +"What are those white things?" Lily asked, pointing at the clouds. + +"They are clouds," Dad said. "They are made of water and air. They float in the sky and sometimes they make rain or snow." + +"Wow, that's amazing," Lily said. She was very curious and liked to learn new things. + +Ben was curious too, but he liked to play more. He saw a butterfly flying near a flower. He got up and ran after it. + +"Ben, where are you going?" Dad called. + +"I want to catch the butterfly," Ben said. "It's so pretty and colorful." + +"Be careful, don't go too far," Dad said. "And don't touch the butterfly, it might get hurt." + +Ben nodded and chased the butterfly. He tried to catch it with his hands, but it was too fast and flew away. He followed it to another flower, then another, then another. He didn't notice that he was going away from his dad and Lily. + +Lily watched Ben run after the butterfly. She wanted to join him, but she also wanted to remain with her dad. She liked to talk to him and ask him questions. She wondered what else he could tell her about the clouds and the sky. + +"Dad, can I go with Ben?" she asked. + +"Sure, if you want to," Dad said. "But don't forget to come back soon. We still have some hockey to play." + +"OK, Dad," Lily said. She got up and ran after Ben. She called his name and waved her hand. She hoped he would see her and wait for her. She wanted to play with him and the butterfly. She wanted to have fun with her brother and her dad. She loved them very much. +Sara loved flowers. She liked to smell them, touch them, and look at their colors. She had a small garden in her backyard, where she planted seeds and watered them every day. She waited for them to grow and bloom. + +One day, she saw a big bee on one of her flowers. She wanted to say hello to the bee, but the bee was busy. It flew from flower to flower, collecting pollen. Sara followed the bee, trying to talk to it. But the bee did not listen. It buzzed and flew away. + +Sara was frustrated. She wanted to be friends with the bee. She thought maybe the bee was sick or hurt. She decided to take the bee to the veterinarian. The veterinarian was a nice lady who helped animals. Sara thought she could help the bee too. + +She ran inside and got a jar. She went back to the garden and waited for the bee to land on a flower. She was very careful and quiet. She put the jar over the bee and the flower. She closed the lid and made some holes in it. She had caught the bee. + +She was happy. She ran to the veterinarian with the jar. She wanted to show her the bee and ask her to make it better. But when she got there, she saw that the bee was not happy. It was angry and scared. It banged on the jar and tried to get out. It did not like being in the jar. + +Sara felt sad. She realized that she had made a mistake. She had taken the bee away from its home and its flowers. She had not helped the bee, she had hurt it. She did not want to be friends with the bee anymore. She wanted to let it go. + +She told the veterinarian what she had done. The veterinarian was kind and understanding. She explained to Sara that bees are important for flowers and for people. They help flowers to bloom and make honey. They do not like to be in jars or to talk to people. They like to be free and to work with other bees. + +She opened the jar and let the bee out. The bee flew away, back to the garden. Sara watched it go. She felt sorry for the bee. She hoped it would forgive her. She learned a lesson. She decided to leave the bees alone and to enjoy the flowers from a distance. She thanked the veterinarian and went home. She was still frustrated, but also wiser. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. One day, they go to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They see many animals. They see lions, monkeys, bears, and more. Lily and Ben think the animals are cute. + +"Look, Ben, a baby elephant!" Lily says. She points to a small gray animal with a long nose. + +"Wow, Lily, it is so cute!" Ben says. He wants to touch it, but Mom says no. + +"Elephants are big and strong. They can hurt you. You can only look, not touch," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They understand. They look at the baby elephant and smile. + +They see more animals. They see a giraffe, a zebra, a penguin, and a snake. They learn their names and sounds. They have a lot of fun. + +Soon, it is time to go home. Lily and Ben are tired. They yawn and rub their eyes. + +"Did you have fun, kids?" Dad asks. + +"Yes, Dad, we did!" Lily and Ben say. + +"Good. Now, let's go to the car. We have a long drive home," Dad says. + +He gives them their tickets. They are red and have a picture of a lion on them. + +"These are your tickets. You can keep them as a souvenir. They show that you went to the zoo today," Dad says. + +"Thank you, Dad!" Lily and Ben say. They hold their tickets and smile. + +They go to the car. They buckle up and say goodbye to the zoo. They look at their tickets and remember the cute animals. They close their eyes and sleep. They dream of the zoo. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play on the beach. They have a big ball, a bucket and a shovel. They make sand castles and dig holes. Sometimes they go in the water and splash each other. + +One day, they see a man with a board. He goes on the water and rides on the waves. He looks happy and fun. Sara and Ben want to try it too. They ask the man if they can borrow his board. The man says yes, but he tells them to be careful and not go too far. + +Sara and Ben take turns on the board. They feel the wind and the water. They have a lot of fun. They say thank you to the man and give him back his board. They run to their mom and dad and tell them what they did. Their mom and dad are proud of them. They say they are brave and polite. + +Sara and Ben want to say thank you to the man again. They draw a picture of him and his board. They write his name and a nice message. They put the picture in an envelope and mail it to him. They hope he will like it. + +The man gets the envelope a few days later. He opens it and sees the picture. He smiles and feels cheerful. He likes the picture and the message. He thinks Sara and Ben are sweet and kind. He mails them a letter back. He tells them he is glad they had fun and he invites them to surf with him again. + +Sara and Ben get the letter and are very happy. They show it to their mom and dad. They say they want to surf with the man again. They learn that being nice and grateful makes others happy and makes them happy too. They hug each other and smile. +Lily was very happy. She had a new dress. It was pink and had flowers on it. She wanted to show it to her friend Anna. She put on her dress and her shoes and ran to the door. + +But her mom stopped her. "Lily, you have to eat your breakfast first," she said. "You can't go out with an empty tummy." + +Lily did not want to eat. She wanted to go to Anna's house. She complained to her mom. "But mom, I'm not hungry. And Anna is waiting for me. And I want to show her my new dress. Please, can I go?" + +Her mom shook her head. "No, Lily, you have to eat something. Look, I made you toast and jam. It's your favorite. And you can have some juice too. Come on, sit down and eat." + +Lily was very sad. She did not like toast and jam today. She wanted something else. She looked around the kitchen. She saw a cupboard. She had an idea. She ran to the cupboard and opened it. She saw a box of cookies. She smiled. She grabbed the box and ran to the door. + +But her mom saw her. She was very angry. She ran after her and took the box from her. "Lily, what are you doing? You can't have cookies for breakfast. That's not good for you. And you can't run away with them. That's not nice. Give me the box and go back to the table." + +Lily was very mad. She cried and screamed. She did not want to give up the cookies. She did not want to eat toast and jam. She did not want to listen to her mom. She wanted to go to Anna's house. She wanted to wear her new dress. She wanted to have fun. She complained to her mom. "But mom, I don't like toast and jam. And I love cookies. And Anna loves cookies too. And we want to play. And we want to wear our new dresses. Please, can I go?" + +Her mom sighed. She was very tired. She did not want to fight with Lily. She wanted to make her happy. She had an idea. She said to Lily, "How about this? You eat one slice of toast and jam, and you drink some juice. Then you can have one cookie as a treat. And then you can go to Anna's house and show her your new dress. How does that sound?" + +Lily thought about it. She liked the idea. She nodded. She said to her mom, "OK, mom, I will do that. Thank you, mom. You are very nice. I love you, mom." + +Her mom smiled. She said to Lily, "I love you too, Lily. You are very sweet. Now, eat your breakfast and then get ready to go." + +Lily did what her mom said. She ate her toast and jam and drank her juice. She had one cookie as a treat. She said thank you to her mom. She put on her coat and her hat. She took her bag and her doll. She ran to the door. She said to her mom, "Bye, mom, I'm going to Anna's house. See you later, mom." + +Her mom said to Lily, "Bye, Lily, have fun with Anna. Be careful, Lily. See you later, Lily." + +Lily went out the door. She was very happy. She had a new dress. She had a cookie. She had a friend. She had a mom. She had everything she wanted. She did not complain anymore. She smiled and waved to her mom. She ran to Anna's house. She had a great day. +Lily was a spoiled princess who always got what she wanted. She had many toys, dresses, and candies, but she was never happy. She always wanted more and more, and she never said thank you or please. + +One day, a prince came to visit her castle. He was very kind and handsome, and he brought her a gift. It was a beautiful doll with golden hair and a blue dress. Lily opened the gift and looked at the doll. She did not smile or hug the prince. She said, "This doll is ugly. I don't want it. Give me something else." + +The prince was very sad and angry. He said, "Lily, you are a very rude and spoiled princess. You don't appreciate anything I do for you. You don't deserve this doll or my friendship. I'm leaving now, and I don't want to see you again." + +He turned around and walked away. Lily threw the doll on the floor and ran after him. She wanted to stop him and say sorry, but it was too late. The prince got on his horse and rode away. He did not look back at her. + +Lily cried and cried. She realized she had made a big mistake. She had lost the only person who cared for her. She picked up the doll and hugged it. She wished she could see the prince again and tell him how sorry she was. She waved at him, but he was gone. She was alone and unhappy. She learned a hard lesson that day. She learned that being spoiled is not good, and that being kind and grateful is better. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play with books and crayons. One day, they find a big book with many prints of animals. They see a print of a furry lion. Tim says, "Look, Mia, a lion! It is big and yellow and has a mane. Do you like lions?" + +Mia nods. She likes lions. She says, "Yes, I like lions. They are strong and brave. They live in the jungle. Do you believe they can roar?" + +Tim nods. He believes they can roar. He says, "Yes, I believe they can roar. They roar to scare other animals. They are the king of the jungle. Do you want to roar like a lion?" + +Mia smiles. She wants to roar like a lion.

They pretend to be lions and play with the book. They are happy. They love books and crayons. They love lions. They are friends. +Lila and Tom have a parrot named Coco. Coco likes to talk and sing, but he also makes a lot of mess. He drops his food and feathers on the floor and on his cage. + +One day, Lila and Tom's mom says, "It's time to clean Coco's cage. Who wants to help me?" Lila and Tom both say, "Me, me, me!" They love Coco and want to make him happy. + +Mom gives Lila and Tom a cloth, a brush and a bucket of water. They follow her to the porch, where Coco's cage is. Mom opens the cage and takes Coco out. She puts him on her shoulder and says, "Hello, Coco. Do you want to help us clean your cage?" + +Coco says, "Clean, clean, clean. Coco is a good boy. Clean, clean, clean." He flaps his wings and nibbles Mom's ear. + +Lila and Tom start to wipe and scrub the cage with the cloth and the brush. They make it shiny and nice. They also pick up the food and feathers from the floor and put them in the trash. They work hard and have fun. + +When they are done, Mom says, "Good job, Lila and Tom. You are very helpful. Look, Coco's cage is clean and empty. Let's put some fresh food and water for him." + +She puts Coco back in his cage and gives him some seeds and a bowl of water. Coco says, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. Coco loves you. Thank you, thank you, thank you." He eats and drinks and sings. + +Lila and Tom smile and hug Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom. And we love Coco, too. He is the best parrot ever." +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +One day, they found a rose that was red and pretty. Sara wanted to pick it and give it to her mom. Tom said, "No, don't do that. The rose will rot and die. It is happy in the ground with the sun and the water." + +Sara said, "But I love my mom and I want to make her happy too. She likes roses and she will smile when she sees it." + +Tom said, "I have an idea. Let's make a picture of the rose. We can use paper and crayons and glue. Then we can give it to your mom and she will keep it forever. The rose will stay in the garden and be happy too." + +Sara liked Tom's idea. They went to get the things they needed and made a picture of the rose. It was colorful and playful. They wrote "I love you mom" on it and put it in a frame. Then they ran to Sara's house and gave it to her mom. + +Sara's mom was very happy and hugged them both. She said, "Thank you for this beautiful gift. You are very kind and creative. I love you too." + +Sara and Tom smiled and felt proud. They went back to the garden and played some more. They said hello to the rose and thanked it for being so pretty. The rose nodded and winked at them. +Lily and Tom are brother and sister. They share a room and a bed. One morning, Lily wakes up and sees the sun. The sun is high and bright in the sky. She smiles and says, "Tom, Tom, wake up! The sun is high. It is a good day to play." + +Tom opens his eyes and yawns. He rubs his face and says, "Lily, I am sleepy. Can we stay in bed a little more?" + +Lily shakes her head and says, "No, Tom, we can't. Mom and Dad are up. They are making breakfast. I can smell eggs and toast. Come on, Tom, get up. We can eat and then go outside." + +Tom sighs and says, "Okay, okay, Lily. You are right. The sun is high. It is a good day to play. But can you help me find my socks? I can't see them." + +Lily nods and says, "Sure, Tom, I can help you. I think they are under the pillow. Here, I found them. Put them on and let's go." + +Lily and Tom get out of bed and put on their clothes. They run to the kitchen and hug Mom and Dad. They eat their breakfast and say thank you. Then they grab their coats and hats and go outside. They see the sun high and bright in the sky. They smile and say, "The sun is high. It is a good day to play." +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play together. They had a big box of toys in their room, but they did not always share them well. Sometimes they fought over who got to play with the best toys, like the train or the doll. + +One day, their mom gave them a gift. It was a shiny bell that made a loud sound when you shook it. Lily and Sam both wanted to play with the bell, but there was only one. They started to pull and tug on the bell, trying to take it from each other. + +"Give me the bell, it's mine!" Lily shouted. + +"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Sam yelled. + +They pulled so hard that the bell broke in half. The sound stopped and the pieces fell to the floor. Lily and Sam looked at the broken bell and felt sad. They had ruined their gift. + +Mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the broken bell and the angry faces of Lily and Sam. She was not happy. + +"What happened here?" she asked. "Why did you break the bell?" + +Lily and Sam did not answer. They knew they had done something bad. + +Mom picked up the pieces of the bell and put them on the table. She looked at Lily and Sam and said, "You need to learn how to share and be kind to each other. You are twins, but you are also separate people. You have different likes and dislikes, and that's okay. But you also have to respect and care for each other. That's what being thoughtful means." + +She gave them a hug and said, "I love you both, but I'm disappointed in your behavior. You need to say sorry to each other and help me fix the bell. Maybe then you can play with it together." + +Lily and Sam felt sorry for what they had done. They looked at each other and said, "Sorry." + +They helped mom glue the pieces of the bell back together. It was not as shiny as before, but it still made a sound. They took turns shaking the bell and listening to the sound. They smiled and laughed and played together. They learned to be more thoughtful and share their toys. They were happy twins. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys because their parents were wealthy and bought them new ones often. But they did not like to share their toys or clean up their mess. They left their toys all over the floor and threw away the ones they did not want anymore. + +One day, their mom came into their room and saw the pile of toys and waste. She was angry and said, "Tim and Sam, this is not how you treat your toys and your room. You are wasting your toys and making a mess. You need to learn to release some of your toys and give them to other children who do not have any. And you need to clean up your room right now!" + +Tim and Sam did not want to release their toys or clean up their room. They said, "No, mom, these are our toys and we want to keep them all. We do not care about other children. And we do not want to clean up our room. We want to play more!" + +Their mom was very disappointed and said, "Tim and Sam, you are being selfish and ungrateful. You have so many toys and you do not appreciate them. You do not know how lucky you are. Some children have no toys and no room to play. If you do not release some of your toys and clean up your room, I will take away all of your toys and you will have nothing to play with!" + +Tim and Sam were scared and did not want to lose all of their toys. They said, "Sorry, mom, we did not mean to be selfish and ungrateful. We will release some of our toys and give them to other children. And we will clean up our room. Please do not take away our toys!" + +Their mom was glad and said, "That is good, Tim and Sam. I am proud of you for being generous and responsible. You will make other children happy with your toys. And you will have more space and order in your room. Now, let's go and sort out your toys and waste and put them in different bags. Then we will go and donate some of your toys to a charity that helps poor children." + +Tim and Sam did as their mom said and released some of their toys and cleaned up their room. They felt good and learned a lesson. They realized that they did not need so many toys to be happy and that sharing and caring was more important. They thanked their mom for teaching them and hugged her. They also looked forward to playing with their remaining toys and making new friends with other children. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside at night. They looked at the sky and saw many stars. Tom said, "Do you know what stars are, Lily? They are big balls of fire that are very far away. They are powerful and bright. They can make shapes and pictures if you connect them with your eyes." + +Lily said, "Wow, that is amazing, Tom. Can you show me some shapes and pictures? I want to see them too." + +Tom said, "Sure, Lily. Look at that group of stars over there. Do you see how they make a big spoon? That is called the Big Dipper. And next to it, there is a smaller spoon. That is the Little Dipper. And do you see that star that is very bright and shiny? That is the North Star. It can help you find your way if you are lost." + +Lily said, "That is so cool, Tom. You know a lot about stars. Can you show me more?" + +Tom said, "Yes, Lily. There are many more stars and shapes and pictures. Come, let's sit on the grass and I will show you. Stars are fun and beautiful. They make me happy. Do they make you happy too, Lily?" + +Lily said, "Yes, Tom. They make me very happy. Thank you for showing me the stars. You are a good friend." +Lila was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with. She only had her toys and her books. She liked to read stories about faraway places and brave heroes. She wished she could go on adventures like them. + +Every night, Lila had a dream. She dreamed that she was flying on a big bird. The bird was soft and friendly. It took her to different lands, where she met new people and animals. They had fun and talked and laughed. Lila was happy in her dream. + +One night, Lila woke up from her dream. She saw the bird outside her window. It was real! It looked at her with kind eyes and said, "Lila, come with me. I want to show you something." + +Lila was scared and excited. She put on her coat and shoes and climbed out of the window. She held on to the bird's feathers and flew away with it. She felt the wind and the stars on her face. She smiled and said, "Thank you, bird. You are my friend." + +The bird said, "You are welcome, Lila. You are my friend too. I have been watching you for a long time. I know you are lonely. I want to help you. I have a gift for you. It is a magic seed. If you plant it in your garden, it will grow into a beautiful tree. The tree will have fruits and flowers and leaves. It will keep you company and make you happy. It will also make your dreams come true." + +Lila was amazed and grateful. She hugged the bird and said, "Thank you, bird. You are the best friend ever. I will plant the seed and take care of the tree. I will always remember you and our adventures." + +The bird said, "You are welcome, Lila. I will always remember you too. But now, I have to go. It is time for me to fly back to my home. Goodbye, Lila. I hope you have a wonderful life." + +Lila said, "Goodbye, bird. I hope you have a wonderful life too." + +The bird flew away, leaving a trail of light behind. Lila watched it until it disappeared. Then, she went back to her room and put the seed under her pillow. She fell asleep, feeling warm and happy. She knew that tomorrow, she would have a new friend and a new dream. She was not lonely anymore. +Lily was a little girl who liked to eat candy. She ate candy every day, even before breakfast and after dinner. She did not like to brush her teeth or drink water. She only wanted candy. + +One day, Lily had a bad toothache. She cried and held her mouth. Her mom took her to the dentist. The dentist looked at her teeth and said, "Lily, you have a cavity. Your tooth is rotting because you eat too much candy and do not brush your teeth. I have to fix your tooth, but it will hurt a little." + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not want the dentist to fix her tooth. She wished she had listened to her mom and brushed her teeth. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I don't want to eat candy anymore. I want to have healthy teeth." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm glad you learned your lesson, Lily. Candy is okay sometimes, but not all the time. You have to eat other foods that are good for you, like fruits and vegetables. And you have to brush your teeth every day and drink water. That will keep your teeth strong and clean." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will do that. Can we go home now?" + +The dentist said, "Yes, you can go home, but you have to rest and take your medicine. Your tooth will be sore for a while. You can eat some soup or yogurt, but no candy or hard foods. And you have to come back next week for a check-up." + +Lily agreed and thanked the dentist. She went home with her mom and went to bed. She felt hungry, but she did not want candy. She wanted some soup and a banana. She realized that candy was not worth losing her teeth. She decided to take better care of her teeth from now on. She learned that too much candy can make your teeth rot. +Tim and his dog Rex were best friends. They liked to play in the garden and run in the park. Rex was a loyal dog. He always stayed by Tim's side and listened to him. + +One day, Tim's mom asked him to help her with the bulbs. She wanted to plant some flowers in the garden. She gave Tim a basket of bulbs and a shovel. "Can you bring these bulbs to the flower bed and dig some holes for them?" she asked. + +"Sure, mom. Come on, Rex, let's go!" Tim said. He picked up the basket and the shovel and walked to the flower bed. Rex followed him, wagging his tail. + +Tim started to dig some holes in the dirt. He took out a bulb from the basket and put it in a hole. Then he covered it with dirt. He did the same with another bulb. But when he reached for the third bulb, he saw that the basket was empty. + +"Where are the bulbs?" Tim wondered. He looked around and saw Rex. Rex had taken all the bulbs from the basket and buried them in different places in the garden. He thought they were bones and wanted to hide them. + +"Rex, no! Those are not bones, those are bulbs! Mom will be angry!" Tim shouted. He ran after Rex and tried to find the bulbs. But Rex had dug too deep and Tim could not see them. + +"Tim, what are you doing?" Mom asked. She came to the garden and saw Tim and Rex digging in the dirt. She saw the empty basket and the holes in the flower bed. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. Rex took the bulbs and buried them. He thought they were bones. He wanted to bring them to me later. He is a loyal dog, but he did not know," Tim explained. + +Mom sighed. She was not happy, but she understood. She knew that Rex loved Tim and wanted to please him. She also knew that Tim loved Rex and did not mean to lose the bulbs. + +"It's okay, Tim. I know you and Rex are best friends. But you have to teach him what are bulbs and what are bones. And you have to watch him when he plays in the garden. He might dig up something else," she said. + +"I will, mom. I'm sorry. I love you and I love Rex," Tim said. + +"I love you too, Tim. And I love Rex, even if he is a naughty dog sometimes. Come on, let's go inside and have some cookies. Maybe we can buy some more bulbs later," Mom said. + +She hugged Tim and Rex and took them inside. Tim and Rex learned a lesson that day. They learned that they have to be careful with things that are not theirs. And they learned that they have to listen to mom. But they also learned that they have a lot of love in their family. And that is the most important thing. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress and a kind smile. Lily talked to Anna every day and told her stories. + +One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to a network. Lily did not know what a network was, but mom said it was a place where she could meet new friends. Lily was excited, but she did not want to leave Anna behind. She asked mom if she could bring Anna with her. + +"Sorry, Lily, but you can't bring Anna to the network. It's only for grown-ups. You can play with the other kids there. They will have toys and games for you," mom said. + +Lily felt sad. She did not want to play with other kids. She wanted to play with Anna. She hugged Anna and said, "Don't worry, Anna. I will be back soon. You are my best friend." + +Mom took Lily to the network. It was a big room with many people. Some of them smiled at Lily and said hello. Mom introduced Lily to some of them, but Lily did not care. She ignored them and looked for a place to sit. She saw a table with some books and crayons. She went there and started to draw. + +Soon, a boy came to the table. He had short hair, a blue shirt and a curious look. He saw Lily drawing and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. What are you drawing?" + +Lily did not answer. She ignored him and kept drawing. + +Ben did not give up. He said, "Can I draw with you? I like to draw too. Look, I have a dinosaur book. Do you like dinosaurs?" + +Lily did not look at him. She ignored him and kept drawing. + +Ben felt sad. He did not understand why Lily did not want to talk to him. He liked her drawing and wanted to be her friend. He said, "Please, can you talk to me? I don't have any friends here. You look nice and kind. Can we be friends?" + +Lily heard him and felt sorry. She realized that she was being rude and mean. She did not want to hurt Ben's feelings. She looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was ignoring you because I miss my doll. She is my best friend and I had to leave her at home. I don't like this network. It's boring and loud." + +Ben smiled and said, "I understand, Lily. I miss my teddy bear too. He is my best friend and I had to leave him at home too. I don't like this network either. It's scary and strange. But maybe we can make it better if we play together. We can share our books and crayons and draw dinosaurs and dolls. What do you think?" + +Lily smiled too and said, "That sounds fun, Ben. I think we can be friends. What is your favorite dinosaur?" + +Ben said, "My favorite dinosaur is a T-rex. He is big and strong and has sharp teeth. What is your favorite doll?" + +Lily said, "My favorite doll is Anna. She is pretty and sweet and has long hair. Do you want to see her picture?" + +Ben said, "Yes, please. Can I show you my teddy bear's picture too?" + +Lily said, "Of course. Let's draw them together." + +Lily and Ben became friends. They drew pictures of their dolls and teddy bears and dinosaurs. They talked and laughed and had fun. They did not ignore each other anymore. They did not care about the network anymore. They only cared about each other. They were happy. +Tim and Lily were playing in the farm. They liked to see the animals and hear their sounds. They saw pigs, sheep, chickens and horses. But they did not see the cow. + +"Where is the cow?" Tim asked Lily. "I want to see the cow." + +"Maybe the cow is hiding," Lily said. "Let's go and find the cow." + +They walked around the farm, looking for the cow. They looked behind the barn, under the tree, in the pond. But they did not find the cow. + +"Where can the cow be?" Lily wondered. "Maybe the cow is in the house." + +They ran to the house, where the farmer and his wife lived. They knocked on the door, but no one answered. They opened the door and went inside. They looked in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bedroom. But they did not find the cow. + +"Maybe the cow is in the closet," Tim said. He opened the closet door and peeked inside. He saw something big and brown and furry. He thought it was the cow. He smiled and said, "I found the cow!" + +But it was not the cow. It was a chubby bear, who was sleeping in the closet. The bear woke up and roared. Tim and Lily screamed and ran out of the house. + +The farmer and his wife heard the noise and came out of the field. They saw Tim and Lily running and the bear chasing them. They were very surprised and scared. + +"Who left the closet door open?" the farmer shouted. "That's where we keep the bear!" + +The farmer grabbed his gun and shot the bear. The bear fell down and stopped moving. Tim and Lily stopped running and hugged each other. They were very glad that the farmer saved them. + +"Are you okay, kids?" the farmer asked. "What were you doing in the house?" + +"We were looking for the cow," Tim said. + +"The cow?" the farmer said. "The cow is in the field, with the other cows. Didn't you see her?" + +Tim and Lily looked at the field and saw the cow. She was white and black and had horns and a bell. She looked very different from the bear. They felt very silly and sorry. + +"We are sorry, farmer," Lily said. "We made a mistake. We thought the bear was the cow." + +The farmer and his wife laughed and forgave them. They took them to the field and let them pet the cow. The cow mooed and licked them. Tim and Lily liked the cow. They decided that the cow was better than the bear. They learned to never go into the house again. They also learned to tell the difference between a cow and a bear. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Sometimes they use a big box as a stage. They put on funny hats and clothes and act out stories. + +One day, they decide to pretend they are animals in the forest. Lily is a deer and Ben is a bear. They make noises and move around the box. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Ben gets too rough. He roars and chases Lily. He tries to catch her with his paws. Lily gets scared and runs away. She cries and hides behind the sofa. + +"Ben, stop it!" she shouts. "You are not a nice bear. You are a mean bear. You hurt me." + +Ben feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He just wanted to play. He goes to the sofa and looks for Lily. + +"Lily, where are you?" he calls. "I am sorry. I was just pretending. You are my sister. I love you." + +He sees Lily's ears poking out from behind the sofa. He crawls over and gives her a hug. + +"I am sorry, too," Lily says. "I was just scared. You are my brother. I love you." + +They hug and make up. They go back to the box and pretend they are friends. They share some berries and nuts. They lie down and watch the stars. The forest is peaceful. They are happy. +Anna loved to help her mom cook in the kitchen. She liked to stir the soup, cut the bread, and sprinkle the cheese. But there was one thing she was not allowed to do: touch the pepper. Mom said the pepper was too spicy and would make her cry. Anna was curious about the pepper. She wanted to know how it smelled and tasted. + +One day, when mom was busy on the phone, Anna saw the pepper on the counter. She thought, maybe I can just smell it a little bit. She climbed on a chair and reached for the pepper. She opened the lid and sniffed. It made her sneeze. She sneezed so hard that she dropped the pepper on the floor. The pepper spilled everywhere. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Anna and the pepper. She was angry. "Anna, what did you do? I told you not to touch the pepper. It's dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or made a mess." She said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to smell it. I didn't mean to spill it." Anna said. She felt bad. + +Mom sighed. She picked up Anna and hugged her. "It's okay, honey. I know you were curious. But you have to listen to me. I only want you to be safe and happy. Next time, ask me before you touch something you don't know." She said. + +"Okay, mom. I love you." Anna said. She felt comfortable in mom's arms. + +Mom smiled. She loved Anna too. She cleaned up the pepper and put it away. She said, "How about we make some cookies instead? You can help me with the sugar and the chocolate chips. But no pepper, okay?" + +"Okay, mom. No pepper. Cookies sound yummy." Anna said. She was excited. + +They went to the oven and started to make cookies. They had fun. They forgot about the pepper. +Tom is a pupil in a big school. He likes to learn new things and play with his friends. He has a teacher who is very organized. She makes a plan for every day and tells the pupils what to do. + +One day, the teacher says they will have a race in the yard. She says they have to run as fast as they can to the end of the yard and back. She says they have to line up and wait for her to say "go". Tom is excited. He likes to run and he wants to win. + +Tom lines up with the other pupils. He sees Lily, who is his best friend. She smiles at him and says "good luck". He smiles back and says "you too". He looks at the yard and sees the end. He thinks he can run there and back very quickly. + +The teacher says "ready, set, go". Tom runs as fast as he can. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He passes some pupils who are slower than him. He reaches the end and turns around. He sees Lily behind him. She is also running very fast. He thinks she is a good runner. + +Tom runs back to the start. He sees the teacher waiting for him. He hears her say "well done, Tom, you are the first". He feels happy and proud. He stops and waits for Lily. She comes soon after him. She is the second. He gives her a high five and says "you are a good runner, Lily". She says "thank you, Tom, you are a good runner too". They hug and smile. The teacher says "well done, both of you, you are very organized pupils". They say "thank you, teacher". They are happy. They like to run and they like to learn. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a lizard on a rock. The lizard is green and has a long tail. + +"Look, a lizard!" Lily says. "Can we touch it?" + +Ben nods. He is brave. He walks to the rock. He reaches out his hand. The lizard is still. Ben tries to grab it. + +But the lizard is fast. It slips away from Ben's hand. It runs to another rock. Ben falls on the grass. He is not hurt, but he is sad. + +"Sorry, Ben," Lily says. "The lizard is playful. It likes to hide and run." + +Ben smiles. He is not mad. He likes to play, too. He gets up and dusts off his pants. + +"Let's play hide and seek with the lizard," he says. "Maybe we can catch it." + +Lily agrees. They run to the rocks. They look for the lizard. They have fun. The lizard has fun, too. It slips from rock to rock. It watches the children. It likes to play with them. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big spider on a flower. Lily wanted to touch it, but Tom said no. + +"Spider is bad. Spider can bite. Spider has poison." Tom said. + +Lily did not listen. She reached out her hand to the spider. The spider did not like that. It jumped on Lily's hand and bit her. Lily screamed and slapped the spider away. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow! It hurts!" Lily cried. + +Tom ran to get Mom. Mom came and saw Lily's hand. It was red and swollen. Mom took Lily inside and put some ice on her hand. She called the doctor. + +"Lily, you should not touch spiders. They can make you sick. You need to be careful." Mom said. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I was curious. I won't touch spiders again." Lily said. + +Mom hugged Lily and gave her a kiss. She told her she loved her and that she would be okay. Tom hugged Lily too and said he was sorry. He gave her his favorite toy to make her feel better. + +Lily smiled and thanked Tom. She learned her lesson. She did not like spiders anymore. She liked flowers and butterflies and bees. They were nice and pretty and did not have poison. +Tom and Mia are playing with balloons in the park. They like to blow them up and let them go. The balloons fly in the air and make funny noises. + +"Look, Mia, I have a big red balloon!" Tom says. He blows and blows until the balloon is very big. + +"Wow, Tom, that is a big balloon!" Mia says. She has a small yellow balloon. She wants to make it bigger too. She blows and blows, but the balloon does not grow. + +"Tom, can I have some of your air?" Mia asks. She thinks Tom has more air than her. + +"OK, Mia, you can have some of my air," Tom says. He is a good friend. He holds his balloon near Mia's balloon and squeezes it. Some of the air goes from his balloon to her balloon. + +"Thank you, Tom, now my balloon is bigger!" Mia says. She is happy. She holds her balloon tight. + +"Let's release them together, Mia!" Tom says. He likes to see the balloons fly. + +"OK, Tom, let's release them together!" Mia says. She likes to hear the balloons make funny noises. + +They count to three and release their balloons. The balloons fly up, up, up in the sky. They make funny noises. Tom and Mia laugh and clap. + +"Bye, bye, balloons!" Tom and Mia say. + +They look at the sky. The balloons are gone. They only see the sun and the clouds. + +"Where did the balloons go, Tom?" Mia asks. She is curious. + +"I don't know, Mia, maybe they went to another park," Tom says. He is not sure. + +"Maybe they went to find other balloons," Mia says. She is imaginative. + +"Maybe they did, Mia, maybe they did," Tom says. He smiles. + +They look at their hands. They are empty. They have no balloons. + +"Tom, can we get more balloons?" Mia asks. She likes to play with balloons. + +"OK, Mia, let's get more balloons," Tom says. He likes to play with balloons too. + +They run to the balloon man. He has many balloons of different colors. He gives them each a new balloon. + +"Thank you, balloon man!"

"Can we put it on the bookshelf?" + +"Yes, we can. But we have to wait for the glue to dry. The glue is wet now. If we put it on the bookshelf now, it will stick to the other books." Tom says. + +"OK, let's wait for the glue to dry. How long do we have to wait?" Mia asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe ten minutes. Or twenty minutes. Or thirty minutes." Tom says. + +"That is a long time. What can we do while we wait?" Mia says. + +"We can read some of the other books on the bookshelf. Or we can play with the toys. Or we can sing a song." Tom says. + +"Let's read some books. I like books. Books are fun." Mia says. + +"Me too. I like books. Books are smart." Tom says. + +They go to the bookshelf and pick some books. They sit on the floor and read their books. They are happy. They wait for the glue to dry. They want to complete their bookshelf with their new book. +Lily likes to draw pictures with her crayons. She draws her family, her dog, her house and her flowers. She is very proud of her pictures and she shows them to her mom and dad. + +One day, Lily draws a picture of a rainbow. She uses all the colors of her crayons and makes it very big and bright. She wants to hang it on the wall, but she does not have any tape. She sees some glue on the table and thinks it will work. + +She puts some glue on the back of her picture and sticks it on the wall. But the glue is too wet and too much. It drips down the wall and makes a mess. Lily is sad and scared. She thinks her mom and dad will be angry. + +She runs to the bathroom and gets a towel. She tries to wipe the glue off the wall, but it only makes it worse. She sees some soap and water and thinks they will help. She puts some soap on the towel and rubs it on the wall. But the soap is too strong and too harsh. It makes the paint on the wall come off and makes a bigger mess. Lily is more sad and more scared. She thinks her mom and dad will be very angry. + +She hears her mom and dad coming home. She does not know what to do. She hides behind the couch and cries. Her mom and dad see the mess on the wall and the picture on the floor. They are surprised and confused. They look for Lily and find her behind the couch. They are not angry. They are gentle and kind. + +They hug Lily and tell her they love her. They tell her they like her picture of the rainbow, but they do not like the glue and the soap on the wall. They tell her they will help her wash the wall and fix the paint. They tell her they will find some tape for her picture and hang it on another wall. They tell her they are proud of her for trying to clean up, but they want her to ask them for help next time.

She says it is too wild and dirty. She says he needs to go to the barber and get a haircut. She says the barber will make his hair neat and organized. She says he will look like a big boy. + +Tommy does not want to go to the barber. He does not want to lose his hair. He does not want to look like a big boy. He wants to look like himself. He cries and says no to his mom. He runs and hides under his bed. + +His mom finds him and tries to make him come out. She says the barber is nice and gentle. She says he can choose his haircut. She says he can have a lollipop after. She says she loves him no matter what. + +Tommy is still scared and sad. He does not trust the barber. He does not like lollipops. He does not care about his mom's love. He only cares about his hair. He shakes his head and says no to his mom. He stays under his bed. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play and have fun. But sometimes they did not behave. They made noise and mess and did not listen to Mom and Dad. + +One day, Mom said, "We need to go to the market. We need to buy food and things. You have to come with me. But you have to behave. No running, no shouting, no touching. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They did not like the market. It was boring. There were only fruits and vegetables and bread and cheese. They wanted to see toys and books and candy. + +At the market, Mom put them in a cart. She pushed the cart and looked for things. Tom and Lily sat in the cart. They were bored. They looked around. They saw a big pile of apples. They looked shiny and red. + +"Can we have an apple, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Not now, honey. We have to pay first. And you have to behave," Mom said. + +But Tom and Lily did not listen. They reached for the apples. They each took one and bit it. They were juicy and sweet. They smiled. + +But then, something bad happened. The pile of apples started to fall. The apples rolled everywhere. They hit people and things. They made a loud noise. Everyone looked at Tom and Lily. They looked angry and surprised. + +Mom was very upset. She said, "Oh no! What have you done? You did not behave. You made a big mess. You have to say sorry. And you have to help me pick up the apples." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, everyone. We did not mean to. We were bored. We wanted an apple." + +They got out of the cart. They helped Mom pick up the apples. They put them back in the pile. They said sorry to the people who sold the apples. They gave them the apples they bit. + +Mom paid for the things. She took Tom and Lily back to the cart. She said, "We are going home now. You have to behave. No more trouble. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They did not want to make Mom angry again. They learned their lesson. They behaved. They did not touch anything. They did not say anything. They were quiet and good. + +The end. +Lily and Max are playing in the park. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wants to feed the ducks. She has some bread in her bag. + +"Look, Max, ducks!" Lily says. "Let's give them some bread." + +Max nods. He likes ducks too. He follows Lily to the edge of the pond. Lily takes out a piece of bread and breaks it into small bits. She throws them into the water. The ducks swim over and eat the bread. Lily and Max smile and clap. + +"Quack, quack, thank you!" the ducks say. + +Lily and Max laugh. They throw more bread. They see a fish jump out of the water and catch a bit of bread. Lily and Max gasp. + +"Wow, a fish!" Lily says. "It can dive!" + +Max nods. He wants to see the fish again. He leans over the pond and tries to touch the water. He loses his balance and falls in. Splash! + +Lily screams. Max is wet and scared. He can't swim. He flails his arms and legs. He cries for help. + +"Help, help, I'm wet!" Max says. + +Lily runs to get help. She sees a dog nearby. The dog is big and brown. It has a red collar. It hears Max's cry. It runs to the pond. It sees Max in the water. It dives in. It swims to Max. It grabs Max's shirt with its teeth. It pulls Max to the shore. It shakes its fur. It licks Max's face. + +"Good dog, good dog, thank you!" Max says. + +Lily comes back with a man. The man is the dog's owner. He is happy that his dog saved Max. He helps Max get up. He wraps Max in a towel. He calls Lily and Max's parents. He tells them what happened. + +Lily and Max hug the dog. They hug each other. They are glad that they are safe. They are wet, but they are happy. + +The end. +Ben and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food on the grill. They used leaves, sticks, and rocks as their ingredients. + +"Look, I made a salad!" Lily said, holding a pile of leaves in a plastic bowl. + +"Yum, yum!" Ben said, pretending to eat it. "Now I will make a burger!" He put a rock on the grill and turned a knob. + +But the grill was not a toy. It was a real grill that Daddy used to cook meat. The rock got very hot and started to smoke. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried, dropping the rock. He burned his hand on the grill. It hurt a lot. + +Lily saw Ben crying and ran to him. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben. I will get Mommy. She will make it better." + +She ran inside the house and called, "Mommy, Mommy, Ben is hurt! He touched the grill!" + +Mommy heard Lily and came outside. She saw Ben crying and the grill smoking. She turned off the grill and took Ben inside. She put some ice on his hand and gave him a band-aid. + +"Ben, you should never touch the grill. It is very hot and dangerous. It is not a toy. Do you understand?" Mommy said. + +"Yes, Mommy. I'm sorry. I was playing with Lily. I didn't know it was real." Ben said. + +"I know, Ben. But you have to be careful. Playing with the grill is very difficult and not fun. Next time, use your toy kitchen or your blocks. They are much safer and more fun." Mommy said. + +"Okay, Mommy. Thank you for making my hand better. I love you." Ben said. + +"I love you too, Ben. And I love you, Lily. Thank you for helping your brother. Now, how about we have some cookies and milk?" Mommy said. + +"Yay, cookies and milk!" Ben and Lily said. They smiled and hugged Mommy. They learned their lesson and never played with the grill again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park near their homes. One day, they see a big ball on the street. It is red and shiny. They want to play with it. + +"Look, Ben, a ball!" Lily says. "Let's go get it!" + +Ben nods. He likes balls. He follows Lily to the street. They do not see the cars. They do not hear the horns. They only see the ball. + +A car comes fast. It does not stop. It hits Lily and Ben. They fall down. They do not get up. The ball rolls away. + +The street is lonely. The car is gone. The park is quiet. Lily and Ben are not there. They are not friends anymore. They are not alive. +Lily loved her dog Max. Max was a big, fluffy dog who liked to play and cuddle. Lily's mom said Max was spoiled, because Lily gave him too many treats and toys. But Lily did not care. She thought Max was the best dog ever. + +One day, Lily and Max went to the park with Lily's mom. There were many other dogs and people at the park. Lily saw a girl with a pink dress and a small, white dog. The girl waved at Lily and said, "Hi, I'm Mia. Do you want to play with me and my dog Coco?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, I do. I'm Lily and this is my dog Max." She walked towards Mia and Coco, holding Max's leash. Max was curious and wanted to sniff Coco. But Coco did not like Max. She barked and growled at him. She tried to bite his nose. + +Max was scared and angry. He barked and pulled on his leash. He wanted to get away from Coco. Lily tried to hold him, but he was too strong. He dragged Lily along the grass. Lily fell down and scraped her knee. She cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow! Max, stop!" + +Lily's mom ran to help Lily. She picked her up and hugged her. She said, "Are you okay, sweetie? I'm sorry, Max was too excited. He didn't mean to hurt you." She checked Lily's knee and put a band-aid on it. She said, "There, there. It's okay. You're a brave girl." + +Lily sniffed and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love Max, too. But I don't like Coco. She's mean." She looked at Mia and Coco, who were still at the other side of the park. Mia looked sorry and said, "I'm sorry, too. Coco is spoiled. She doesn't like other dogs. But she likes me. And I like you. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, we can. But maybe we should play without our dogs. They don't get along." Mia agreed and said, "Okay, let's do that. Do you want to play on the swings?" Lily said, "Yes, I do. That sounds fun." She gave Max a kiss and said, "Be good, Max. I'll be back soon." She handed his leash to her mom and said, "Can you watch him, mom?" Her mom said, "Of course, honey. Go have fun." She smiled and waved at Lily and Mia as they ran to the swings. Max wagged his tail and lay down next to her. He was happy to be with Lily and her mom. He was a spoiled dog, but he was a good dog, too. +Sam and Mia liked to play pirates. They had a big box full of treasure. They had coins, jewels, rings, and necklaces. They pretended to sail on a ship and find new islands. They hid their treasure under a tree and made a map. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. His name was Ben. He asked if he could play with them.

They said they had to go home for lunch. + +Ben said he wanted to stay and play some more. Sam and Mia said okay, but they told him not to touch their treasure. They said they would return soon.

He saw a big X under a tree. He thought it was a game. He ran to the tree and dug under it. He found the treasure. He was amazed. He wanted to keep it for himself. He put it in his backpack and ran away. + +Sam and Mia came back after lunch. They looked for Ben, but they could not find him. They looked for their map, but they could not find it. They looked for their treasure, but they could not find it. They saw a big hole under the tree. They realized what had happened. They felt sad and angry. They had lost their friend and their treasure. They wished they had never met Ben. They learned a difficult lesson. +Tom and Lily liked to play near the lake. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. They liked to see the fish and the ducks and the frogs. They were kind to the animals and did not hurt them. + +One day, a big boy came to the lake. He was mean and rude. He threw big rocks at the fish and the ducks and the frogs. He made them scared and hurt. He laughed and did not care. + +Tom and Lily did not like the big boy. They asked him to stop and be kind. But the big boy did not listen. He frown and said bad words. He pushed Tom and Lily and made them fall. He took their stones and threw them away. + +Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They wanted to go home and tell their mom and dad. But the big boy did not let them. He said they had to stay and watch him play. He said he was the boss of the lake and they had to do what he said. + +Tom and Lily were scared and tired. They did not know what to do. They hoped someone would come and help them. But no one came. The big boy kept being mean and rude. He made the lake a bad place. He made Tom and Lily cry. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a friendly dog named Spot. Spot likes to chase balls and hop on the grass. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a hose in the garden. They think it is a fun toy. They turn on the water and spray each other. They laugh and splash. Spot sees the water and runs to join them. He barks and hops around them. + +"Look, Spot likes the hose too!" Sara says. + +"Let's spray him!" Ben says. + +They point the hose at Spot and squeeze. But Spot does not like the water. He is scared and angry. He growls and bites the hose. The hose breaks and water goes everywhere. Sara and Ben are wet and shocked. Spot runs away. + +"Oh no, we broke the hose!" Sara says. + +"Dad will be mad!" Ben says. + +They hear Dad coming. He sees the mess and the broken hose. He is not happy. He scolds Sara and Ben. He tells them to clean up and go inside. He goes to find Spot and fix the hose. + +Sara and Ben are sorry. They did not mean to break the hose. They did not know Spot did not like the water. They hug each other and say sorry to Dad. They hope Spot will be friendly again. They learn to be careful with the hose. They still like to play in the garden, but they use balls and sticks instead. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing on the swings, slide on the slides, and climb on the monkey bars. But their favorite thing was to ride on the merry-go-round. The merry-go-round was a big circle with seats and animals that spun around and around. + +One day, when they went to the park, they saw a sign on the merry-go-round. The sign said "Shut. Do not use." Ben and Mia were sad. They wanted to ride on the merry-go-round. They asked their mom why the merry-go-round was shut. + +Mom said, "The merry-go-round is broken. It needs to be fixed. Someone put a chain on it to keep people away. The chain is powerful. It does not let anyone spin the merry-go-round." + +Ben and Mia looked at the chain. It was thick and heavy. It wrapped around the merry-go-round and locked it. They wondered who could break the chain and make the merry-go-round work again. + +They saw a man walking towards them. He had a big tool box and a hat that said "Park Worker". He smiled at them and said, "Hello, kids. I'm here to fix the merry-go-round. Do you like to ride on it?" + +Ben and Mia nodded. They said, "Yes, we do. But the merry-go-round is shut. There is a chain on it. The chain is powerful. Can you break the chain?" + +The man said, "Don't worry, kids. I have a special tool that can cut the chain. It's called a bolt cutter. It's like a big scissors that can snip metal. Watch this." He took out the bolt cutter and clamped it on the chain. He squeezed the handles hard. Snap! The chain broke in two. He took off the chain and threw it in his tool box. He said, "There. The chain is gone. Now I just need to check the motor and the wires and make sure everything is safe. Then you can ride on the merry-go-round again." + +Ben and Mia clapped their hands. They said, "Thank you, mister. You are very strong and smart. You can break the powerful chain. You can fix the merry-go-round. You are the best!" + +The man said, "You're welcome, kids. You are very sweet and polite. You can wait here while I finish my work. Then you can have fun on the merry-go-round. Just remember to hold on tight and enjoy the ride!" +Sara and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They make vroom-vroom noises and pretend to drive around the sofa and the table. Sara has a red car and Ben has a blue car. + +"Look, Sara, my car is faster than yours!" Ben says, zooming past her. + +"No, it's not! My car is faster and prettier!" Sara says, chasing him. + +They have fun racing and crashing their cars, until Sara notices something. + +"Ben, your car is wet!" she says, pointing at his car. + +Ben looks at his car and sees a drop of water on it. He wonders where it came from. + +"Maybe it's gas," he says. "Cars need gas to go, right?" + +Sara shakes her head. "No, silly, that's not gas. Gas is what you put in the big car outside. This is water. Maybe you spilled your juice on it." + +Ben remembers that he had a cup of juice on the table. He feels bad for making his car wet. + +"I'm sorry, car," he says, wiping the water with his sleeve. "I didn't mean to make you wet." + +Sara smiles and hugs him. "It's okay, Ben. Your car is still nice. And maybe it likes water. Maybe it's a boat-car." + +Ben laughs and hugs her back. "Maybe you're right, Sara. Maybe it's a boat-car. Let's pretend we're on the water and go sailing." + +They pick up their cars and start to make splash-splash noises. They forget about the gas and the water and have more fun. +Lily was a chubby girl who loved to eat cookies. She ate them every day, even when her mom said no. She did not care if they made her tummy hurt or her teeth dirty. She just wanted more and more cookies. + +One day, Lily saw a big jar of cookies on the kitchen table. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. But she was not careful and knocked over a vase. The vase broke into pieces and made a loud noise. Lily's mom heard the noise and came running. + +"Lily, what did you do?" her mom asked, looking angry. "You broke the vase and made a mess. And you were trying to take the cookies, weren't you?" + +Lily felt scared and sorry. She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to go. She looked around and saw the chimney. She had an idea. She ran to the fireplace and crawled into the chimney. She thought she could escape from her mom and find more cookies. + +But the chimney was dark and dirty. It was full of soot and smoke. It made Lily cough and sneeze. It was also narrow and tight. It squeezed Lily's chubby body and made her stuck. She could not move or breathe. She started to cry. + +"Help, help!" she shouted. "I'm stuck in the chimney!" + +Her mom heard her cry and followed her voice. She saw Lily's feet sticking out of the fireplace. She pulled and pulled, but Lily was too chubby to come out. She called the firemen to help. + +The firemen came with a big truck and a ladder. They climbed on the roof and looked into the chimney. They saw Lily's face covered in soot and tears. They used a rope and a net to lift her out of the chimney. They brought her down and gave her to her mom. + +Lily was happy to be out of the chimney, but she was also ashamed and sad. She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was bad. I wanted the cookies, but I regret it. I don't want any more cookies. I just want you." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "I'm glad you're safe, Lily. I love you, but you have to learn to listen and be careful. Cookies are not good for you if you eat too many. And chimneys are not for hiding. They are for Santa Claus." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She learned her lesson. She never went into the chimney again. And she only ate cookies when her mom said yes. +Lily was a nosy girl who liked to look at everything. She always wanted to know what was in the big pots on the stove, or what was in the boxes in the closet, or what was in the bags on the shelf. She was not afraid to climb or crawl or reach for things that were too high or too far. + +One day, Lily saw a big bag of vegetables on the kitchen table. She wondered what was inside. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bag. She opened it and saw many green and orange and red things. She did not know what they were, but they looked funny and crunchy. She decided to try one. + +She picked a long green thing and bit it. It was very bitter and made her face twist. She spit it out and said, "Yuck! What is this?" + +Her mom heard her and came into the kitchen. She saw Lily with the bag of vegetables and the chair and the green thing on the floor. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? That is a vegetable. It is not for eating raw. It is for cooking. You should not reach for things that are not yours. You could hurt yourself or make a mess." + +Lily felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was nosy. I wanted to see what was in the bag. I did not like the green thing. It was yucky." + +Her mom said, "That is a cucumber. It is not yucky. It is good for you. But you have to wash it and cut it and put some salt or dressing on it. Then it will taste better. Do you want to help me make a salad with the vegetables?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I want to help. Can I reach for the red thing? It looks pretty." + +Her mom said, "That is a tomato. Yes, you can reach for it. But be careful. It is soft and juicy. You have to hold it gently and not squeeze it. Then we can chop it and put it in a bowl with the cucumber and some lettuce and cheese. That will be a yummy salad." + +Lily smiled and said, "OK, mom. I want to try the salad. Maybe I will like the vegetables better when they are cooked." + +Her mom said, "I think you will, Lily. You are a good helper and a curious girl. But next time, please ask me before you reach for something that is not yours. OK?" + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily." +Anna and Ben were playing in the bathroom. They liked to fill the sink with water and splash with their toys. Anna had a yellow duck and Ben had a blue boat. + +"Look, my duck can swim in the water!" Anna said. She made the duck quack and dive. + +"My boat can sail in the water!" Ben said. He made the boat zoom and turn. + +They were having fun, but then Ben had an idea. He wanted to see if his boat could fit under the faucet. He pushed the boat towards the faucet, but it was too big. + +"Oh no, my boat is stuck!" Ben cried. He tried to pull the boat out, but it did not move. + +Anna saw what happened and came to help. She grabbed the boat and pulled with Ben, but it was still stuck. + +"Maybe we need more water to make the boat float out," Anna said. She reached for the faucet handle and turned it. + +But she turned it the wrong way. Instead of more water, the faucet made a loud noise and sprayed water everywhere. + +"Ahh, the water is too deep!" Anna and Ben shouted. They got wet and scared. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the bathroom. She saw the water, the boat, the duck, and the children. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. She turned off the faucet and dried the children. + +"We were playing with our toys, but the boat got stuck and the water got deep," Anna and Ben said. + +Mom looked at the boat and the faucet. She gently twisted the boat and freed it. + +"Next time, be careful with the faucet and the toys. The boat does not fit under the faucet, and the water can be too deep for the sink. You could get hurt or make a mess," Mom said. + +She gave the children a hug and a towel. + +"Sorry, Mom," Anna and Ben said. + +They learned their lesson and played with their toys in the bathtub instead. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. Today, they want to eat lunch. Mom has two plates of food. One plate has chicken and rice. The other plate has chicken and noodles. + +"Who wants chicken and rice?" Mom asks. + +"I do!" Anna says. + +"Me too!" Ben says. + +They both run to the table and try to grab the same plate. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Anna says. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. + +They pull and tug on the plate. The plate falls on the floor. The chicken and rice spill everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Mom says. "Look what you did!" + +Anna and Ben feel bad. They are sorry. + +"Sorry, Mom," they say. + +Mom sighs. She picks up the plate and the mess. + +"It's okay," she says. "But you need to learn to share and take turns. That's fair." + +She gives them the other plate of chicken and noodles. + +"Now, you can choose who goes first," she says. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They don't want to fight again. + +"You go first," Anna says. + +"No, you go first," Ben says. + +They smile and hug. + +"Thank you," they say. + +They cut the chicken and noodles in half. They each take a piece. They eat and enjoy their lunch. + +They are happy. They are fair. They are twins. +Lily liked to play with her friends at school. She was popular and everyone wanted to be with her. She was good at singing, drawing and jumping. She was happy and smiled a lot. + +One day, Lily saw a new door in the hall. It was red and shiny and had a sign that said "Do not open". Lily was curious and wanted to see what was behind the door. She waited until no one was looking and ran to the door. She turned the knob and pushed it open. + +She was surprised to see a big room with many toys and games. There were dolls, cars, puzzles, books and more. Lily felt excited and wanted to play with everything. She forgot about the sign and the other kids. She ran inside and closed the door behind her. + +She did not know that the door had a lock and a timer. The lock clicked and the timer started to count down. Lily did not hear them. She was busy playing with the toys and games. She did not notice that the room was getting darker and colder. She did not see that the toys and games were old and broken. She did not feel that the air was getting thinner and harder to breathe. + +The timer reached zero and the door opened. The teacher and the other kids heard a loud noise and ran to the door. They saw Lily lying on the floor, pale and still. She was not breathing. She was not smiling. She was not playing. She was gone. The teacher and the other kids cried and screamed. They wished they had stopped Lily from opening the door. They wished they had played with her more. They wished they had told her they loved her. But it was too late. Lily was popular and everyone wanted to be with her. But she was alone and no one could be with her. +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play in the living room. They had many toys, but they did not like to share. They always fought over who got the best toy, and who got to sit on the couch. They were very selfish. + +One day, their mom told them to wipe the dust off the fireplace. She said it was dirty and they had to help. Tom and Anna did not want to help. They wanted to play with their toys. They said no to their mom and ran away. + +Their mom was angry. She said they had to do their chore or they would get no dessert. She said she would count to three and then come after them. Tom and Anna did not care. They hid behind the curtains and laughed. + +But they did not see the candle on the fireplace. It was burning and it fell on the floor. It started a fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger. It reached the curtains and the toys. Tom and Anna smelled the smoke and saw the flames. They were scared. They screamed for their mom. + +Their mom heard them and ran to the living room. She saw the fire and grabbed a blanket. She tried to put out the fire, but it was too late. The fire had spread too much. She could not reach Tom and Anna. She had to get out of the house and call for help. + +Tom and Anna were trapped behind the fire. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had wiped the fireplace. They wished they had not been selfish. But it was too late. The fire burned them and their toys. They did not get to play anymore. They did not get any dessert. They did not get to live. +Sam and Tom were brothers. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big onion growing in the dirt. They wanted to pick it and eat it. + +"Look, Tom, a big onion!" Sam said. "Let's get it!" + +"OK, Sam, but be careful. Mom said onions can make you cry," Tom said. + +They ran to the onion and pulled it out of the ground. It was very high and heavy. They waved it in the air and laughed. + +"Wow, this is the biggest onion ever!" Sam said. "Let's take it to Mom and show her!" + +They carried the onion to the house. Mom was in the kitchen. She saw them and smiled. + +"Hello, boys, what do you have there?" she asked. + +"Mom, look, we found a big onion in the garden!" Tom said. + +"That's wonderful, boys, you did a good job!" Mom said. "But you know what? Onions are not for eating raw. They are for cooking. They make food taste good." + +"Really, Mom? Can we cook the onion with you?" Sam asked. + +"Sure, boys, you can help me. But first, we have to peel the onion and chop it. Do you want to try?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom, we want to try!" Sam and Tom said. + +Mom gave them a knife and a cutting board. She showed them how to peel the onion and chop it. Sam and Tom followed her. But as they chopped the onion, they felt something in their eyes. It was a sting. It hurt. They started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow, Mom, what's happening?" Sam asked. + +"Ow, ow, ow, Mom, why does it hurt?" Tom asked. + +Mom hugged them and wiped their tears. She explained to them that onions have a juice that makes people cry when they chop them. She said it was normal and it would go away soon. + +"Don't worry, boys, it's OK. It's just the onion. It's not your fault. It's how onions are. They make you cry, but they also make you happy. Because they make food delicious. And when you eat delicious food, you feel good. Do you understand?" Mom asked. + +Sam and Tom nodded. They sniffed and smiled. They finished chopping the onion with Mom. Then they cooked it with some eggs and cheese. They made a yummy omelet. They ate it together. They felt good. They thanked Mom and the onion. They learned something new. They were happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big bean in the dirt. It is green and shiny. + +"Wow, look at this bean!" Tom says. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Maybe it is a magic bean," Lily says. "Let's rub it and see what happens." + +They rub the bean with their hands. Nothing happens. They rub it harder. Still nothing. + +"Maybe we need to say something," Tom says. "Like 'please' or 'thank you'." + +They say "please" and "thank you" to the bean. Nothing happens. + +They are sad. They think the bean is not magic. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. They look up and see a big plant growing from the bean. It has green leaves and purple flowers. It grows and grows until it reaches the sky. + +"Wow, it is a magic bean!" Lily says. "It made a wild plant!" + +"Let's climb it and see what is up there," Tom says. "Maybe there is a castle or a giant or a treasure." + +They hold hands and climb the wild plant. They are happy and excited. They wonder what they will find at the top. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a pond with ducks and fish. They want to feed them some bread. + +"Look, Ben, ducks!" Lily says. She runs to the pond with a piece of bread in her hand. + +"Wait, Lily, be careful!" Ben says. He follows her with another piece of bread. + +They throw the bread to the ducks and watch them eat. They see some fish swimming in the water. They want to touch them. + +"Can we catch a fish, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know, Lily. They are very fast and slippery," Ben says. + +They try to catch a fish with their hands. They lean over the pond and reach into the water. They search for a fish, but they can't find any. + +"Splash!" Lily falls into the pond. She is wet and cold. She cries. + +"Help, Ben, help!" Lily says. + +Ben grabs her hand and pulls her out of the pond. He is wet too. He hugs her and says, + +"Don't cry, Lily. It's okay. You are safe." + +They run to their mommies and tell them what happened. Their mommies dry them with towels and give them hugs and kisses. They say, + +"Next time, be more careful near the pond. It's dangerous to fall in. You could get hurt or sick." + +Lily and Ben say sorry and promise to be more careful. They are still friends. They still like the pond, but they don't try to catch fish anymore. They feed the ducks and watch them from a safe distance. They are happy. +Lily and Max love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the jet. The jet is big and red and makes a loud noise when they push a button. They pretend to fly the jet around the room and have adventures. + +One day, they are playing with the jet when they hear a knock on the door. It is their cousin Sam. Sam is older and bigger than them. He likes to tease them and take their toys. Lily and Max do not like Sam very much. + +"Hi, Lily and Max," Sam says. "Can I play with you?" + +"OK, but be nice," Lily says. She does not want to be rude, but she is worried about her jet. + +Sam looks at the jet and smiles. He grabs it from Max and says, "Wow, this is a perfect jet. Can I fly it?" + +"Sure, but be careful," Max says. He hopes Sam will not break his jet. + +Sam does not listen. He flies the jet very fast and very high. He makes it crash into the wall and the floor and the lamp. He laughs and says, "This is fun. Watch me destroy the jet!" + +Lily and Max are scared and angry. They see the jet get dented and scratched and lose a wing. They want Sam to stop, but he does not. + +"Sam, stop it!" Lily shouts. "You are hurting our jet!" + +"Sam, give it back!" Max cries. "That is our jet!" + +Sam does not care. He flies the jet one last time and throws it out the window. He says, "Bye-bye, jet. You are not perfect anymore. You are garbage." + +Lily and Max run to the window and see their jet on the ground, broken and dirty. They feel sad and mad. They look at Sam and say, "You are mean. You are not our friend. Go away." + +Sam shrugs and says, "Whatever. Your jet was boring anyway. I have better toys at home." He leaves and slams the door. + +Lily and Max hug each other and cry. They wish they had their jet back. They wish Sam never came. They wish they had a new friend who would play nice with them and their toys. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big drum and a stick. They want to make music. + +"Let's play the drum!" Tom says. + +"Yes, let's play the drum!" Lily says. + +They take turns to hit the drum with the stick. The drum makes a loud sound. Boom, boom, boom! + +They like the sound. They feel lively. They start to march around the park. They march to the swings. They march to the slide. They march to the sandbox. + +They meet other children. They ask them to join. + +"Do you want to march with us?" Tom asks. + +"We have a drum!" Lily says. + +The other children nod. They want to march too. They form a line behind Tom and Lily. They march and sing. They have fun. + +They are a lively march band. +Lily liked to solve mazes. She had a book of mazes that her mom gave her. She used a crayon to draw the way from the start to the end. Sometimes the mazes were easy, and sometimes they were hard. + +One day, Lily found a new maze in her book. It was very big and had many twists and turns. Lily wanted to solve it, but she did not know where to start. She looked at the maze for a long time, but she could not see a clear path. + +She asked her mom for help. Her mom smiled and said, "Why don't you try to solve it backwards? Start from the end and draw the way to the start. That might make it easier." + +Lily thought that was a good idea. She flipped the book and looked at the maze from the other side. She found the end and traced the way to the start with her crayon. She was careful not to cross any lines or hit any walls. She was happy when she reached the start. She had solved the maze! + +She showed her mom her work. Her mom was proud of her and gave her a hug. She said, "You did a great job, Lily. You are very smart and creative. You can solve any maze you want." Lily smiled and thanked her mom. She felt good and wanted to solve more mazes. +Sara was very happy. She had a new friend at school. Her name was Lily. Lily was nice and funny. She liked to play with Sara and share her toys. + +One day, Lily said to Sara, "Do you want to come to my house? I can show you my room and my pets. We can have a tea party and play dress up." + +Sara said, "Yes, please! That sounds fun. When can I come?" + +Lily said, "How about tomorrow? After school, my mom can pick us up and drive us to my house. It is not far. You can ask your mom if it is okay." + +Sara was very excited. She asked her mom and her mom said yes. She packed her backpack with her favorite doll and a gift for Lily. She could not wait to see Lily's house and have a tea party. + +The next day, after school, Lily's mom was waiting for them. She smiled and said, "Hello, Sara. I'm glad you could come. Lily has been talking about you a lot. She is very happy to have you as a friend." + +Sara smiled and said, "Hello, Lily's mom. Thank you for inviting me. I'm happy to be Lily's friend too." + +They got in the car and drove to Lily's house. It was a big house with a nice garden. Lily said, "This is my house. Come on, I'll give you a tour. You'll love it." + +Sara followed Lily into the house. It was warm and cozy. There were pictures of Lily and her family on the walls. There were also many toys and books. Lily showed Sara her room, her pets, her tea set, and her dress up clothes. They had a lot of fun playing together. Sara felt very welcome and happy. She was glad she came. She thought Lily was the best friend ever. +Lily liked to wash her toys. She had a big tub of water and some soap. She put her dolls, cars, blocks and animals in the tub. She scrubbed them with a sponge. She made bubbles and splashed. + +One day, she found a shiny stone in the garden. It was very pretty. It sparkled in the sun. Lily thought it was a diamond. She wanted to wash it and make it more shiny. She put it in the tub with her toys. + +But Lily's mom was busy. She had to cook, clean and do laundry. She did not see Lily washing her toys. She did not see the shiny stone in the tub. She came to the bathroom and saw the water and the soap. She was not happy. + +She drained the tub and threw away the water. She dried the toys and put them away. She did not see the shiny stone. She did not know it was a diamond. She threw it away with the trash. + +Lily was sad. She looked for her diamond. She could not find it. She asked her mom. Her mom did not know. She said it was just a rock. Lily cried. She lost her diamond. She wished she did not wash it. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy was very naughty. He liked to play tricks on his friends and sometimes he would even pull their noses. + +One day, Timmy's mother asked him to help her load the groceries into the car. Timmy didn't want to help because he wanted to play with his friends. But his mother said, "Timmy, it's important to help others. It's not nice to be selfish." + +Timmy thought about what his mother said and decided to help her load the groceries. As they drove home, Timmy looked out the window and saw a boy crying. His nose was bleeding because someone had pulled it too hard. + +Timmy felt bad for the boy and realized that he didn't want to be the kind of person who hurt others. From that day on, Timmy decided to be kind to everyone and never pull anyone's nose again. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to eat pepper on her food. One day, she was eating her pepper when she felt the ground tremble. + +"Mommy, why is the ground shaking?" asked Lily, feeling anxious. + +"I don't know, sweetie," replied her mommy. "But it's probably just an earthquake. We should stay inside until it stops." + +Lily nodded and held onto her mommy's hand tightly as they waited for the shaking to stop. When it finally did, Lily felt relieved and asked for more pepper on her dinner. +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily. She had a beautiful dress that she loved to wear. One day, she went to the park to play with her friends. They played on the swings and slides, and Lily had so much fun. + +Then, Lily's friend told her a joke. Lily laughed so hard that she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she couldn't see anything. Her eye hurt so much that she started to cry. Her parents took her to the doctor, but the doctor couldn't fix her eye. + +From that day on, Lily couldn't see out of one eye. She couldn't wear her beautiful dress anymore because she couldn't see how pretty it was. Lily was very sad, and she never went back to the park again. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and her favorite toy was a teddy bear. One day, Lily accidentally knocked over a jar of cookies and it broke into many pieces. She was very sad because the cookies were her favorite. + +Her mom saw that Lily was upset and wanted to help her. She told Lily that accidents happen and that she would support her by making more cookies. Lily was happy to hear that and gave her mom a big hug. + +Later that day, Lily was playing with her teddy bear and accidentally dropped it. She thought it was so stupid of her to let it fall. But her mom told her it was okay and that she would support her by helping her fix it. Together, they put some stuffing back into the teddy bear and sewed it up. Lily was so happy to have her teddy bear back and she thanked her mom for supporting her. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play outside and go on adventures. One day, he went to the park with his mom. + +At the park, Timmy saw a big ball. He picked it up and threw it to his mom. "Look, Mommy! I can throw the ball really far!" he said. + +Then, Timmy saw a group of kids playing a game. They were having so much fun! Timmy wanted to play too, but he didn't know how. "Mommy, can you teach me how to play?" he asked. + +His mom showed him how to play the game and Timmy was so happy! He felt adventurous and had so much fun playing with the other kids. When it was time to go home, Timmy said, "Thank you for teaching me how to play, Mommy. Today was an adventurous day!" +Once upon a time, there was a little flower. The flower was very small and it lived in a garden. One day, the sun shone very bright and the flower started to bloom. It was so pretty and colorful! + +Later that day, a little girl came to the garden. She saw the flower and wanted to touch it. But the flower was wet because it had rained earlier. So she decided to give the flower a massage instead. She gently rubbed the petals and the flower felt better. + +The flower was very happy that the little girl was kind to it. And from that day on, the flower bloomed even more beautifully than before. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and sing songs. One day, her mommy gave her a guitar. It was big and wide and had pretty colors. Lily was so happy! + +She tried to play the guitar, but she didn't know how. So, she asked her mommy to teach her. Her mommy showed her how to act like she was playing the guitar. Lily pretended to strum the strings and sing a song. She had so much fun! + +After that, Lily practiced every day.
