They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They zoom their cars and trucks on the roads and bridges. Zoom, zoom, zoom! + +One day, Lila has a new idea. She says to Tom, "Let's make a big hill with pillows and blankets. We can zoom our cars and trucks down the hill. It will be fun!" Tom likes the idea. He says, "Yes, let's do that!" They work together to make a big hill with pillows and blankets. They put some cars and trucks on top of the hill. + +Lila and Tom take turns to zoom their cars and trucks down the hill. They laugh and cheer as they watch their cars and trucks go fast and far. Zoom, zoom, zoom! They have so much fun. They forget about the time. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is Lila's mom. She says, "Lila, Tom, it is time for lunch. Come and wash your hands." Lila and Tom stop playing. They look at the big hill. They look at each other. They smile. They say, "Thank you, mom. We are coming." They are grateful for the lunch and for the fun. + +They put their cars and trucks away. They help to tidy up the pillows and blankets. They wash their hands. They go to the kitchen. They eat their lunch. They talk about their game. They are happy. They are best friends. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lila had a tea set and Ben had a truck. Lila wanted to have a tea party with Ben, but Ben did not like tea. He liked to zoom his truck around the floor and make loud noises. + +"Ben, come and have some tea with me," Lila said. She poured some water from a pitcher into a cup and handed it to Ben. "It is very yummy." + +Ben took the cup from Lila, but he did not want to drink it. He looked at the cup and saw that it was heavy. He had an idea. He put the cup on the back of his truck and said, "Look, Lila, my truck has a cup now. It can carry heavy things." + +Lila did not like Ben's idea. She wanted her cup back. She reached for the cup, but Ben drove his truck away. He laughed and said, "No, Lila, this is my cup now. It is part of my truck." + +Lila was angry. She ran after Ben and tried to grab the cup. Ben was faster and dodged her. They chased each other around the living room, knocking over pillows and books. They did not see that their mom was watching them from the kitchen. + +Mom did not like what she saw. She walked into the living room and said, "Stop, Lila and Ben. You are making a mess and being rude. Lila, you should share your tea set with Ben. Ben, you should not take Lila's cup without asking. You should both say sorry to each other and play nicely." + +Lila and Ben stopped and looked at their mom. They felt bad for what they did. They said sorry to each other and gave each other a hug. They decided to play together with the tea set and the truck. They poured some water into the cup and pretended to drink it. They said, "Cheers!" and smiled. Mom smiled too and said, "That's better. I'm proud of you, Lila and Ben." +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy jet in the garden. They liked to make zooming noises and pretend they were flying to faraway places. They saw a big bird in the sky and wondered if it was a friend of their jet. + +"Hello, bird!" Tom shouted. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The bird did not answer. It flew closer and closer to the jet. Tom and Lily saw that it was not a friendly bird. It was a bald eagle, with sharp claws and a yellow beak. It wanted to catch their jet and eat it! + +"Watch out, jet!" Lily cried. "The eagle is coming!" + +Tom and Lily ran to their jet and tried to pick it up. But the eagle was faster. It swooped down and grabbed the jet with its claws. It lifted it up in the air and flew away. + +"Give us back our jet!" Tom and Lily shouted. "That's not fair!" + +The eagle did not listen. It flew higher and higher, until it was a tiny dot in the sky. Tom and Lily were very sad. They had lost their jet. + +They went back to the house and told their mom what had happened. She hugged them and said she was sorry. She said she had a surprise for them in the kitchen. She took them to the kitchen and showed them a big bowl of cake batter. + +"Do you want to help me make a cake?" she asked. "You can stir the batter and add some sprinkles." + +Tom and Lily smiled.

They hoped it would taste good. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play at the gym. The gym has many toys and mats and balls. Lily and Sam run and jump and roll and throw.

Come on, Lily, let's go to the slide." + +Lily shakes her head. She says, "No, Sam, I need a break. You go to the slide. I will sit here." + +Sam frowns. He says, "But I want to play with you. You are my friend. Don't you remember?" + +Lily nods. She says, "I remember. You are my friend too. But I am too tired to play now. Maybe later." + +Sam sighs. He says, "Okay, Lily. I will play by myself for a bit. But don't fall asleep. I will come back soon." + +Lily smiles. She says, "Okay, Sam. Have fun. I will wait for you." + +Sam runs to the slide. Lily sits on a mat. She closes her eyes. She is happy. She has a good friend. She remembers. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they have spaghetti for lunch. Lily thinks spaghetti is interesting. She likes to make funny shapes with it on her plate. + +"Look, Ben, I made a snake!"

She takes his hand and squeezes it. + +"You are my friend, too, Ben. And this is the best spaghetti ever." Lily says, happily. +Tom was a dog. He had an owner. His owner was a boy. The boy loved Tom and gave him food and water and toys. Tom loved the boy and gave him licks and barks and cuddles. + +One day, Tom and the boy went to the park. The park had grass and trees and flowers and birds. Tom and the boy liked to play in the park. They ran and jumped and rolled and laughed. + +But then, Tom saw a squirrel. The squirrel was brown and furry and fast. Tom wanted to chase the squirrel. He forgot about the boy. He ran after the squirrel. The squirrel ran up a tree. Tom barked at the tree. + +"Tom, come back!" the boy called. But Tom did not hear him. He was too busy barking at the tree. + +The boy looked for Tom. He could not see him. He could not hear him. He was scared. He had lost Tom. He cried. + +A man saw the boy crying. The man was big and kind. He had a hat and a coat and a badge.

I can't find him!" + +"Don't worry, little boy," the man said. "I will help you find your dog. Come with me. We will look for him together." + +The man and the boy walked around the park.

Tom licked his face. + +"I'm sorry, boy," Tom said in his dog way. "I was silly. I should have stayed with you. I missed you." + +"I missed you too, Tom," the boy said. "I'm glad you're safe. You're my best friend." + +The man smiled. He was happy to see the boy and the dog reunited. He gave them a ride home in his car. The boy thanked the man.

They saw paintings and statues. Sara liked the museum. Tom liked it too. + +But then Tom saw something that made him sad. He saw a big fountain with water. He wanted to play with the water. He ran to the fountain and put his hand in it. The water was cold and wet. He splashed and laughed. But Mom and Dad did not like it. They said, "Tom, stop! You are getting wet and dirty. You cannot play with the fountain. It is not for playing. It is for looking." + +Tom did not listen. He kept playing with the water. He threw some water at Sara. Sara got wet and angry. She said, "Tom, stop! You are wetting me and the museum. You are being bad. You need to dry yourself and say sorry." + +Tom did not listen. He kept playing with the water.

He threw some water at a guard who was wearing a uniform. The guard got wet and angry. He said, "That's it, stop! You are wetting me and the museum. You are being trouble. You need to dry yourself and leave. Now!" + +The guard was strong. He grabbed Tom by the arm and took him to Mom and Dad. He said, "This kid is making a mess. He is wetting everyone and everything. He is not welcome here. He needs to dry himself and go home. And you need to pay for the damage." + +Mom and Dad were very sorry. They said, "We are very sorry. He is our son. He is only three. He does not know better. He likes water. He was just having fun. We will dry him and pay for the damage. And we will teach him to behave." + +Sara was very happy. She said, "Good. He deserves it. He was being bad. He needs to learn. And I need to dry too. I am wet and cold. Can we go home now?" + +Mom and Dad said, "Yes, we can. Let's go home. And let's not come back to the museum until Tom is older and wiser." +Anna and Ben are adventurous twins. They like to play outside and explore new things. One day, they find a big car in the garage. It is shiny and red, and has four round wheels. + +"Wow, look at this car!" Anna says. "Can we go inside?" + +"Let's ask Mommy first," Ben says. He is a good boy and listens to Mommy. + +They run to the kitchen, where Mommy is making lunch. "Mommy, Mommy, can we play in the car?" they ask. + +Mommy smiles and says, "Yes, you can, but be careful. Don't touch anything or make any noise. Daddy is sleeping in the bedroom. He has a cold and needs to rest." + +"Okay, Mommy, we will be careful," Anna and Ben say. They hug Mommy and run back to the garage. + +They climb into the car and sit on the seats.

Dad! Wake up! The alarm is on!" + +But their mom and dad do not answer. They do not hear them. Ben and Mia are sad. They do not know what to do. + +Then they have an idea. They go back to their room. They get their alarm. They bring it to their parents' room. They put it on the bed. They turn it on again. The alarm makes a loud noise and also flashes a bright light. + +Their mom and dad see the light. They open their eyes. They see the alarm. They see Ben and Mia. They smile. They hug them. They say, "Thank you, Ben and Mia. You are very smart. You found a way to wake us up. We love you." + +Ben and Mia are happy. They say, "We love you too, Mom and Dad. Come on, let's go have breakfast." + +They all go downstairs. They have a good morning. They are a happy family. +Anna liked to do yoga with her mom. Yoga was a way to stretch and breathe and feel good. Sometimes they did yoga at home, and sometimes they went to a big room with other people who liked yoga too. + +One day, Anna and her mom went to the big room for yoga. Anna saw a new teacher there. She had long hair and a bright dress. She smiled at Anna and said, "Hello, I'm Maya. Do you like yoga?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Yoga is fun and interesting. I can do many poses, like a cat, a dog, and a tree." + +Maya said, "That's wonderful. Do you want to try a new pose today? It's called the butterfly. You sit on the floor and bring your feet together. Then you flap your knees like wings. Can you do that?" + +Anna said, "Yes, I can. It sounds easy and fun." She sat on the floor and did the butterfly pose. She felt happy and proud. + +Maya said, "You're doing great, Anna. Do you know why this pose is called the butterfly?" + +Anna said, "No, why?" + +Maya said, "Because butterflies are beautiful and free. They can fly and explore and see many things. They also remember where they came from. They start as caterpillars, then they make a cocoon, then they become butterflies. Do you remember that?" + +Anna said, "Yes, I remember. I learned that in a book. It's amazing." + +Maya said, "It is. And you know what? You are amazing too. You can grow and change and learn new things. You can be like a butterfly. Just remember to always be yourself and follow your dreams." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Maya. You are a nice teacher. I like you and I like yoga." + +Maya hugged Anna and said, "You're welcome, Anna. I like you too. And I'm glad you like yoga. Yoga is good for your body, your mind, and your heart." +Anna likes to move. She likes to run, jump, dance and play. She likes to move with her friends at school and with her family at home. She likes to move with her dog, Spot, who is very fast and funny. + +But today, Anna cannot move much. She has to stay in bed, because she is sick. She has a fever and a cough. She feels hot and tired. She does not like to be sick. She wants to move and have fun. + +Her mom comes to check on her. She brings her some water and a book. She says, "I'm sorry, Anna. You have to rest today. You cannot go to school or play outside. You have to stay in bed and get better." + +Anna makes a sad face. She says, "But mom, I don't like to stay in bed. I like to move. I like to go to school and play with my friends. I like to do regular things. I don't like to be sick." + +Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "I know, Anna. I don't like to be sick either. But sometimes, we get sick and we have to take care of ourselves. We have to drink water, eat soup, read books and sleep. That is how we get better. And soon, you will be able to move and do regular things again. I promise." + +Anna nods and cuddles with her mom. She says, "OK, mom. I will try to rest. But can you read me a story? A story about moving and having fun?" + +Her mom says, "Of course, Anna. I will read you a story. A story about a girl who likes to move, just like you." She opens the book and starts to read. Anna listens and smiles. She feels a little better. She thinks, maybe tomorrow, she will be able to move and do regular things again. She hopes so. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Sam says. + +They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They have fun. + +But the sun is hot. The slide is hot too. Tom does not know. He goes on the slide again. He feels the hot slide on his legs. He says "Ow! Ow! Ow!" + +Sam hears Tom. He sees Tom is hurt. He runs to Tom. He helps Tom get off the slide. + +"Are you OK, Tom?" Sam asks. + +"That slide is hot! It hurts!" Tom says. + +"I'm sorry, Tom.

You are a good friend." Tom says. + +"You're welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too." Sam says. + +They hug. They go to find another game. They play in the park. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the carpet. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road. + +"Look at my car, it's so fast!" Lily said, making her car go vroom vroom. + +"My car is faster, watch this!" Ben said, making his car spin and jump. + +But Ben's car spun too much and hit a screw that was on the floor. The screw was sharp and made a hole in Ben's car. Ben's car stopped working and lay on the carpet. + +"Uh oh, your car is broken!" Lily said, looking at the hole. + +Ben was sad and angry. He picked up his car and threw it at Lily. Lily dodged the car, but it hit her head. Lily felt dizzy and started to cry. + +"Ow, that hurt!" Lily said, rubbing her head. + +Ben saw that he hurt Lily and felt sorry. He ran to her and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to hurt you. I was mad at the screw, not you." Ben said. + +Lily hugged him back and smiled. + +"It's okay, Ben, I forgive you. But don't throw your car again, okay?" Lily said. + +"Okay, Lily. And don't touch the screw, it's dangerous." Ben said. + +They put the screw in the trash and went to find another toy to play with. They were friends again. +Anna liked to clap her hands. She clapped when she was happy, when she heard music, when she saw something funny. She clapped so much that her parents and her big brother sometimes asked her to stop. + +But Anna was persistent. She did not want to stop clapping. She thought clapping was fun and good. She said, "Clapping makes me feel good. Why do you want me to stop?" + +One day, it was Anna's birthday. She was three years old. She had a cake with three candles and a lot of balloons. She was very excited. She clapped and clapped and clapped. + +Her parents and her big brother smiled and clapped with her. They said, "Happy birthday, Anna! You are a big girl now. We love you and your clapping." + +Anna was very happy. She hugged them and said, "Thank you! I love you too. And I love clapping. Can I clap some more?" + +They laughed and said, "Yes, you can clap some more. But only today. Tomorrow, you have to clap less. OK?" + +Anna nodded and said, "OK. But only a little less. Clapping is still fun and good." + +They nodded and said, "OK. A little less. Clapping is fun and good, but sometimes it can be too loud and annoying. You have to learn when to clap and when to be quiet. OK?" + +Anna nodded and said, "OK. I will learn. But today, I will clap a lot. Because it is my birthday. And I am happy." + +They nodded and said, "OK. Today, you can clap a lot. Because it is your birthday. And we are happy too." + +They all clapped and sang and ate cake and played with balloons. It was a good day. Anna was a persistent clapper. But she was also a sweet and smart girl. And she had a loving family. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw some flowers that were fair and pretty. They wanted to smell them and touch them. + +But there was a bee on one of the flowers. The bee was busy and did not like to be bothered. When Lily got too close, the bee flew at her and stung her on the nose. Lily cried out loud. It hurt a lot. + +Tom ran to help Lily. He saw the bee and was angry. He tried to hit the bee with his hand. But the bee was fast and flew away. Tom missed the bee and hit a candle instead. The candle was on the table for the picnic. The candle had a flame that was hot and bright. + +The flame jumped from the candle to Tom's hand. Tom screamed. It burned a lot. He dropped the candle and shook his hand. The candle fell on the grass and started a fire. The fire was big and scary. + +Lily and Tom ran to their mom and dad. They were in the house. They told them what happened. Mom and dad were worried and mad. They got some water and a blanket and ran to the garden. They put out the fire and checked Lily's nose and Tom's hand. They gave them some ice and some hugs and some kisses. + +They said, "You are both very brave, but you were also very silly. You should not touch the bees or the candles. They can hurt you and make a mess. Next time, be more careful and listen to us. We love you and we want you to be safe and happy." +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors, but her favorite was white. She liked to make snowflakes and clouds and stars with white. She also liked to draw on different things, like paper, cardboard, and even the wall. + +One day, Lily found a big white sheet in the closet. She thought it was perfect for drawing. She took her crayons and started to make a big picture on the sheet. She drew a house, a tree, a sun, and a rainbow. She was very happy with her picture. + +But then, her mom came into the room and saw the sheet. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, what did you do? This is not a paper. This is a sheet. It is for the bed. You are not allowed to draw on the sheet. You ruined it. It was original and now it is not." + +Lily felt sad. She did not know it was a sheet. She did not know she was not allowed to draw on it. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to make a picture. I like white. It is pretty." + +Mom sighed. She was angry, but she also loved Lily. She said, "I know you like white, Lily. And I know you like to draw. But you have to ask me before you use something that is not yours. And you have to be careful with your crayons. They can make a mess. Come on, let's go wash the sheet and see if we can make it white again. Maybe we can find something else for you to draw on later." +Anna and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They make them zoom and beep on the floor. Sometimes they have races and see who is faster. + +One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a picture of a train on it. Anna and Ben are very happy. They open the box and see many pieces of track and a shiny red train. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Ben says. "Let's make a train track!" + +"OK!" Anna says. "But we have to share the train, OK?" + +They start to put the pieces of track together. They make a circle, a loop, a bridge and a tunnel. They put the train on the track and turn it on. The train starts to move and make noises. + +"Choo choo!" Anna and Ben say. They watch the train go around and around. They clap and laugh. + +But then, the train stops. It pauses in the tunnel. Anna and Ben look at each other. + +"What happened?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it needs new batteries." + +They go to the box and look for batteries. They find two small ones. They take the train out of the tunnel and turn it over. They see a hole for the batteries. + +"Can you do it?" Anna asks Ben. + +Ben nods. He tries to put the batteries in the hole. But it is not easy. He has to match the plus and the minus signs. He has to push hard. He frowns and makes a face. + +"Here, let me help you," Anna says. She puts her head next to Ben's head. She holds one battery and Ben holds the other. They work together. They put the batteries in the hole. They close the lid. They turn the train over and put it back on the track. They turn it on. + +The train starts to move and make noises again. + +"Yay, we did it!" Anna and Ben say. They hug each other. They watch the train go around and around. They clap and laugh. + +They play with the train for a long time. They share it and take turns. They have fun. They are happy. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a blue jacket. Anna liked to brush Lily's hair and dress her up. + +One day, Anna wanted to wash Lily's jacket. She thought it was dirty and heavy. She asked her mom if she could use the washing machine. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful. She showed Anna how to put the jacket in a small bag and use cold water. + +Anna did what her mom said. She put the jacket in the bag and in the machine. She pressed the button and watched the water spin. She was happy. She waited for the machine to stop. + +When the machine stopped, Anna took out the bag. She opened it and looked for the jacket. But she could not find it. She only saw a very small thing that looked like the jacket. It was so small that it could fit in her hand. Anna was confused. She wondered what happened. + +She ran to her mom and showed her the small thing. She said, "Mom, look! What is this? Where is Lily's jacket?" + +Her mom looked at the small thing and smiled. She said, "Oh, Anna, this is Lily's jacket. But it shrank. That means it got smaller. Sometimes, when you wash things, they shrink. It's okay. It's not broken. It's just smaller." + +Anna looked at the small jacket and felt sad. She said, "But mom, how can Lily wear it now? It's too small for her. She will be cold." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Anna. We can find another jacket for Lily. Maybe we can make one with some fabric and a needle. Or maybe we can buy one at the store. Lily will be fine. And you can keep the small jacket as a souvenir. It's very cute." + +Anna nodded and smiled. She said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I'm sorry I shrank Lily's jacket. I didn't mean to." + +Her mom said, "It's okay, Anna. You didn't know. You were trying to help. I love you." + +Anna said, "I love you too, mom." She hugged her mom and went to play with Lily. She put the small jacket on her teddy bear. She thought it looked funny. She laughed. She was happy. +Lily was a wealthy girl who had many toys and dresses. She liked to have parties with her friends and play games. But she did not like to listen to her parents or teachers. She thought she knew everything and did not need to learn. + +One day, she had a big party at her house. She invited all her friends and had a cake and balloons and music. She was very happy and excited. But her parents told her to be careful and not make a mess or break anything. They also told her to be polite and share with her guests. + +Lily did not listen to her parents. She thought they were boring and bossy. She did what she wanted and did not care about anyone else. She ate too much cake and made herself sick. She popped the balloons and threw them around. She played with her toys and did not let anyone else touch them. She was rude and selfish. + +Her friends did not like how Lily acted. They felt sad and angry. They did not want to play with her anymore. They said goodbye and left the party. Lily was left alone with her mess and her toys. She realized she had no friends and no fun. She felt sorry and lonely. + +She ran to her parents and hugged them. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy and Daddy. I was a bad girl. I did not listen to you. I was mean to my friends. I ruined the party. Please forgive me. I love you." + +Her parents hugged her back and said, "We love you too, Lily. We forgive you. But you have to learn to listen and be kind and respectful. That is how you make friends and have fun. That is how you grow up and be happy." + +Lily nodded and said, "I will try, Mommy and Daddy. I will try to listen and be good. Can we have another party someday and invite my friends again?" + +Her parents smiled and said, "Maybe, Lily. Maybe. But first, you have to help us clean up this mess." +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. They want to make a road for their cars and trucks. + +They plan to use their blocks and books to make the road. They find a big space on the floor and start to build. They make a regular road with straight lines and corners. They also make a bridge, a tunnel, and a hill. They are happy with their road. + +They put their cars and trucks on the road and start to play. They make noises like vroom, beep, and honk. They pretend to go to different places like the park, the store, and the zoo. They have fun with their road. + +But then, their little brother Sam comes. He is only one year old. He does not know how to play with cars and trucks. He sees the road and wants to touch it. He crawls to the road and grabs a block. He pulls it out and the bridge falls down. He laughs. + +Ben and Mia are mad. They say, "No, Sam, no! That is our road! You broke our road! Go away!" + +Sam does not understand. He thinks they are playing with him. He crawls to the tunnel and pushes it over. He laughs again. + +Ben and Mia are very mad. They say, "Stop, Sam, stop! That is not funny! You are ruining our road! We worked hard on it!" + +Sam still does not understand. He crawls to the hill and knocks it down. He laughs louder. + +Ben and Mia are very, very mad. They say, "Enough, Sam, enough! That is enough! You are a bad brother! We don't want to play with you!" + +Sam finally understands. He sees their angry faces and hears their loud voices. He feels sad. He stops laughing. He starts to cry. + +Ben and Mia hear his cry. They feel sorry for him. They remember that he is only a baby. He does not know better. They say, "Sorry, Sam, sorry. We are not mad at you. We love you. You are our brother. Do you want to play with us?" + +Sam stops crying. He sees their kind faces and hears their soft voices. He feels happy. He nods. He says, "Yes, yes. Play, play." + +Ben and Mia smile. They say, "OK, Sam, OK. We will play with you. But you have to be gentle. You have to be careful. You have to share. Can you do that?" + +Sam nods again. He says, "Yes, yes. Gentle, careful, share." + +Ben and Mia hug him. They say, "Good, Sam, good. You are a good brother. We are proud of you. Come on, let's play with our road." + +They help him to stand up. They give him a car and a truck. They show him how to play with them. They rebuild their road. They play together. They have more fun with their road. +Tim and Sam are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But their favorite thing is to chase the birds. + +One day, they see a big, red bird on a tree. They have never seen such a bird before. They think it is very cool. They want to get closer to it. + +"Look, Sam, a cool bird!" Tim says. + +"Wow, Tim, it is so pretty!" Sam says. + +They rush to the tree. They want to see the bird better. They make a lot of noise. They scare the bird. + +The bird flies away. It makes a loud sound. Tim and Sam are sad. They lose sight of the bird. + +"Bye, bird, come back soon!" Tim says. + +"Sorry, bird, we did not mean to scare you!" Sam says. + +They hope to see the bird again. They go back to their games. They still have a lot of fun. They are still best friends. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many pigeons on the grass. They liked to watch them fly and peck. + +"Look, mom, a pigeon!" Ben said, pointing to a gray bird. + +"Yes, that's a pigeon, Ben. Do you want to feed them?" mom asked, taking out some bread crumbs from her bag. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben and Lily said, clapping their hands. They ran to the pigeons and threw some bread crumbs. The pigeons came closer and ate the bread. + +But one pigeon was different. It had bright colors on its wings and tail. It was red, blue, green, and yellow. It was incredible. + +"Wow, what a pretty pigeon!" Lily said, staring at the colorful bird. + +"Can I show it to you, mom?" Ben asked, trying to catch the pigeon. + +"Be careful, Ben. Don't scare it," mom said. + +But the pigeon was not scared. It flew to Ben's hand and sat there. It looked at Ben with its small eyes and cooed. + +"Hello, pigeon. You are incredible. I like you," Ben said, gently stroking the pigeon. + +The pigeon liked Ben too. It nuzzled his cheek and flapped its wings. + +"Mom, look, the pigeon likes me!" Ben said, smiling. + +Mom and Lily came closer and looked at the pigeon. They were amazed. + +"That's a very special pigeon, Ben. You are lucky to have a new friend," mom said. + +"Can I keep it, mom? Please?" Ben asked. + +Mom thought for a moment. She knew that pigeons were not pets, but this one seemed different. It seemed happy with Ben. + +"OK, Ben. You can keep it, but you have to take good care of it. You have to feed it, clean it, and let it fly sometimes," mom said. + +"OK, mom. I will. Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love you, pigeon," Ben said, hugging mom and the pigeon. + +The pigeon cooed and hugged Ben back. It was a happy day for Ben and his incredible pigeon. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play and learn new things. Today, they are studying animals with their mom. Mom shows them pictures of different animals and tells them their names and sounds. + +"Look, this is a cow. It says moo. Can you say moo?" Mom asks. + +"Moo, moo!" Tom and Lily say. + +"Very good. And this is a duck. It says quack. Can you say quack?" Mom asks. + +"Quack, quack!" Tom and Lily say. + +They study more animals, like a dog, a cat, a pig, and a horse. They have fun making the sounds and learning the names. + +But then, Lily sees a picture of a bee. She does not like bees. She is scared of bees. She remembers when a bee stung her knee and it hurt a lot. She starts to cry. + +"What's wrong, Lily?" Mom asks. + +"I don't like bees. Bees are bad. Bees sting. Bees make my knee sour." Lily says. + +Mom hugs Lily and wipes her tears. She shows her a jar of honey. + +"Bees are not all bad, Lily. Bees make honey. Honey is sweet and good. You like honey, right?" Mom says. + +Lily nods. She likes honey. She likes to put honey on her bread and eat it. + +"Can I have some honey, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, Lily. You can have some honey. And Tom, too. But first, let's finish studying the animals, okay?" Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom." Tom and Lily say. + +They study more animals, like a lion, a monkey, a fish, and a bird. They forget about the bee and enjoy the honey. They are happy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a soft sheep. The sheep was old and had white wool. Lily liked to hug the sheep and talk to it. + +One day, Lily was playing with her sheep in her room. She pretended that the sheep was her friend and they had a tea party. She gave the sheep some water and cookies and said, "You are a good sheep. I love you very much." + +The sheep did not say anything, but Lily did not mind. She knew that the sheep was happy to be with her. She smiled and said, "Do you want to nap with me, sheep? I am sleepy and you are cozy." + +The sheep nodded and Lily took it to her bed. She tucked the sheep under the blanket and lay down next to it. She closed her eyes and said, "Good night, sheep. Have sweet dreams." + +The sheep snuggled with Lily and said, "Baa, baa." It was the sheep's way of saying, "Good night, Lily. I love you too." They both fell asleep and had a nice nap. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to climb the high slide and go down fast. They also liked to swing and jump and run. They had a lot of fun. + +But after a while, they felt tired and thirsty. They wanted to rest and drink some water. They saw a big tree with a bench under it. They ran to the tree and sat on the bench. They drank some water from their bottles. + +"Look, Lily, what is that?" Tom said, pointing to something shiny in the grass. Lily looked and saw a small round thing. It was gold and shiny. She picked it up and showed it to Tom. + +"Wow, it is a gold coin!" Tom said. "Maybe it is from a pirate or a fairy. Where did it come from?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe someone dropped it or left it here. Do you think there are more?" + +They looked around the grass, but they did not see any more gold coins. They only saw flowers and bugs and stones. + +"Maybe this is the only one," Lily said. "Maybe it is a lucky coin. What should we do with it?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He smiled and said, "Maybe we can share it. We can buy some ice cream or some stickers or some books. What do you think?" + +Lily nodded and smiled too. She liked Tom's idea. She liked to share with her friend. She said, "Yes, let's do that. But first, let's rest a little more. We can go to the shop later." + +They put the gold coin in their pocket and lay down on the bench. They looked at the sky and the clouds and the birds. They felt happy and calm. They closed their eyes and rested. +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to go on adventures. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground with stairs. They wanted to see what was inside. They ran to the hole and started to go down. + +"Wait!" said Mom. "That is the subway. It is not for playing. It is for people who need to go fast to other places. It can be loud and dark and scary. Come back here!" + +But Lily and Sam did not listen. They had an urge to explore. They went down the stairs and saw a long tunnel with rails. They saw a big metal thing with windows and doors. It was an old subway train. It looked fun. + +"Let's go inside!" said Lily. + +"OK!" said Sam. + +They ran to the train and opened a door. They climbed inside and saw many seats and poles and buttons. They sat on a seat and pretended to drive. + +"Choo choo!" said Sam. + +"Beep beep!" said Lily. + +They did not see the man who came in the train. He was the driver. He was angry. + +"Hey!" he said. "What are you doing here? This is not a toy. This is my job. Get out of here!" + +He grabbed Lily and Sam and took them out of the train. He was very mad. He shouted at them and told them to go back to their mom. + +Lily and Sam were scared. They did not like the subway anymore. They ran up the stairs and saw Mom. She was worried. She hugged them and said, + +"I'm so glad you are safe. Why did you go to the subway? You could have been hurt. You should always listen to me. I know what is best for you." + +Lily and Sam felt sorry. They said, + +"We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to see the subway. We did not know it was bad. We will not do it again. We love you, Mom." + +Mom smiled and said, + +"I love you too, my little adventurers. But next time, let's find a safer place to explore, OK?" + +Lily and Sam nodded and said, + +"OK, Mom." +Lily did not like to bathe. She thought it was boring and cold and wet. She liked to play with her toys and books and crayons. She did not like when Mommy said it was time to bathe. + +One day, Mommy said, "Lily, you are very dirty. You have mud on your face and hands and hair. You need to bathe now." Lily said, "No, Mommy, I do not want to bathe. I want to play." Mommy said, "Lily, you have to bathe. It is good for you. It will make you clean and fresh and happy. Come on, I will help you." + +Mommy took Lily to the bathroom. She filled the tub with warm water and bubbles. She put Lily's rubber duck and boat in the water. She said, "Look, Lily, how fun it is to bathe. You can splash and play with your toys. You can make bubbles with your mouth. You can sing a song. You will like it, I promise." + +Lily looked at the water. She looked at her toys. She looked at Mommy. She still did not want to bathe. She said, "No, Mommy, I do not like it. I want to go." She tried to run away, but Mommy held her. Mommy said, "Lily, please, do not be silly. You have to bathe. It is not a choice. It is a rule. You will feel better after you bathe. Trust me." + +Mommy lifted Lily and put her in the tub. Lily cried and kicked and screamed. She did not like the water. She did not like the bubbles. She did not like the soap. She did not like the shampoo. She did not like anything. She said, "Mommy, stop, stop, stop. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it." + +Mommy washed Lily gently and quickly. She said, "Lily, I am sorry, but you have to bathe. It is for your own good. It is not so bad. Look, you are almost done. Just one more rinse and you are out." + +Mommy rinsed Lily's hair and wrapped her in a towel. She dried her and put her in her pajamas. She said, "Lily, you are done. You did it. You are clean and beautiful. How do you feel?" She took Lily to the mirror and showed her. + +Lily looked at the mirror. She saw her face and hands and hair. She saw they were clean and shiny and soft. She saw her eyes and nose and mouth. She saw they were happy and bright and sweet. She saw herself and Mommy. She saw they were smiling and hugging and loving. + +Lily felt something in her chest. She felt warm and calm and good. She felt sorry and silly and ashamed. She said, "Mommy, I am sorry. I was bad. I did not listen to you. I did not want to bathe. But you were right. It was good for me. It made me clean and fresh and happy. Thank you, Mommy. I love you." + +Mommy kissed Lily and said, "Lily, I love you too. You are not bad. You are just a little girl. Sometimes you do not understand. Sometimes you do not like things. That is okay. But you have to try. You have to listen. You have to learn. That is how you grow. That is how you become a big girl. And I am proud of you. You are my big girl." + +Lily hugged Mommy and said, "Mommy, you are the best. You are my Mommy. You help me. You teach me. You love me. I want to be like you. I want to be a big girl. I want to bathe every day." Mommy laughed and said, "Lily, you are so sweet. You make me happy. You are my Lily. And I am glad you want to bathe every day. But maybe not every day. How about every other day?" Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mommy. Every other day. That sounds good. Can we read a story now?" Mommy said, "Of course, Lily. Let's go to your room and read a story. And then we can sleep and dream and wake up and do it all again." Lily said, "Yay, Mommy. I like that. I like you. I like me. I like to bathe." And they went to Lily's room and read a story and slept and dreamed and woke up and did it all again. The end. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play soccer. Sam is very good at soccer.

Maybe it is juice," Tom says. + +They open the bottle and smell it. It does not smell like juice. It smells funny. + +"Let's try it," Tom says. He pours some wine into a cup and drinks it. He makes a face. "Yuck! This is not juice. This is bad." + +Lisa laughs. She pours some wine on a towel and rubs it on her doll's hair. "Look, I can dry her hair with this. It makes her hair shiny." + +Tom looks at Lisa's doll. He thinks she is silly. He pours some wine on his car and rubs it on the wheels. "Look, I can dry my car with this. It makes my car fast." + +Lisa and Tom play with the wine for a while. They have fun. They do not know that wine is not for children. They do not know that wine can make them sick. + +Mom comes home. She sees the bottle and the mess. She is angry. She takes the bottle and the cup away. She scolds Lisa and Tom. + +"What are you doing? This is not juice. This is wine. Wine is for grown-ups. Wine can hurt you. You are not intelligent. You are naughty." + +Lisa and Tom feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom. They promise not to touch the wine again. Mom hugs them.

He was sitting on a bench with his mom and looked sad. He had no toys and no friends to play with. Lily wanted to make him happy, so she walked over to him with her bottle and wand. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to play with me?" she asked. + +The boy looked up and saw her smiling face and the bubbles. He nodded shyly. + +"I'm Sam. What are you playing?" he asked. + +"I'm playing with bubbles. They are fun and pretty. You can blow them or pop them or catch them. Here, you can use my wand," she said, handing him the wand. + +Sam took the wand and dipped it in the bubble soap.

Why are you fighting?" she asked. + +They told her about the mineral. She looked at it and smiled. + +"That's not a mineral, kids. That's a washer. It's a metal thing that people use to fix things. It's not very special. But you know what is special? Your friendship. You have so many minerals in your box. Why don't you surrender this one and play together? You can be creative and make something with your minerals. Maybe a necklace or a castle or a spaceship. What do you think?" + +Lila and Sam thought about it. They did not want to fight anymore. They wanted to play and have fun. They nodded and said sorry to each other. + +They surrendered the washer to their mom and hugged. Then, they went to their box and picked some minerals.

They liked to pretend they were pirates and had a big ship made of pillows and blankets. They put a rug on the floor to be the sea and some toys to be the treasure. + +But Lily was not happy. She wanted to be the captain and tell Tom what to do. Tom did not want to listen to her. He said he was the captain and she was the first mate. They started to argue and shout. + +"Give me the hat!" Lily said. She tried to grab the hat that Tom was wearing. It was their captain's hat and it had a feather on it. + +"No, it's mine!" Tom said. He pulled the hat away from Lily. He did not see the candle on the table. He knocked it over with his arm. + +The candle fell on the rug. The rug started to burn. The fire made a lot of smoke and heat. Lily and Tom saw the fire and got scared. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. They ran to the door and opened it. They saw their mom and dad in the kitchen. They ran to them and hugged them. + +"What's going on?" their mom asked. She smelled the smoke and saw the fire. She grabbed a pot of water and ran to the living room. She threw the water on the fire and put it out. + +She looked at Lily and Tom. They were crying and shaking. She hugged them and said, "Are you okay? What happened?" + +"We were playing pirates and we fought and we made the rug burn," Lily said. + +"We're sorry, mom," Tom said. + +Their mom sighed. She was angry and worried. She said, "You should never play with fire. It's very dangerous. You could have hurt yourselves or the house. And you should not fight with each other. You are brother and sister. You should share and be nice." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They felt bad. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We love you." + +Their mom smiled. She said, "I love you too. But you have to be more careful and respectful. Now let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies. And then we'll clean up the mess." + +Lily and Tom followed their mom. They held hands and said, "Okay, mom." + +They left the living room. It was dark and smelly. The rug was black and wet. The candle was broken and the hat was burned. The ship was ruined and the treasure was scattered. The game was over. +Anna liked to play in the park with her mom. She liked to see the flowers, the trees, and the birds. She liked to run, jump, and swing. But her favorite thing was to feed the doves. She always brought some bread crumbs for them. + +One day, she saw a dove that was different from the others. It had a white feather on its head, and a red ring on its leg. It looked very pretty. Anna wanted to be its friend. She threw some bread crumbs near it, and waited for it to come closer. + +The dove was hungry, and it liked the bread crumbs. It hopped towards Anna, and ate from her hand. Anna was very happy. She smiled, and said, "Hello, dove. What is your name?" + +The dove did not answer, but it cooed softly. It seemed to like Anna, too. It rubbed its head against her fingers, and flapped its wings. + +Anna wanted to pick up the dove, and hold it. She thought it would be fun. She reached out her hand, and tried to grab the dove. But the dove was strong, and fast. It did not want to be picked up. It flew away, and landed on a branch. + +Anna was sad, and cried. She said, "Come back, dove. I want to play with you. I want to be your friend." + +Her mom came, and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Anna. The dove is not a toy. It is a wild bird. It likes to be free, and fly. You can still be its friend, but you have to respect it. You can watch it, and feed it, but you can't pick it up. Maybe it will come back, if you are gentle and patient." + +Anna nodded, and wiped her tears. She said, "I'm sorry, dove. I didn't mean to scare you. I hope you will come back. I will be gentle and patient." + +She looked at the branch, and saw the dove still there. It looked at her, and cooed again. It seemed to forgive her. Anna smiled, and said, "Thank you, dove. You are very pretty, and strong. I like you." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him two stones for eyes and a smile. + +"Look, our snowman is happy!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is. But he must be cold, too. Let's make him a fire to warm up," Tom said. + +They found some sticks and leaves and piled them up near the snowman. They asked their dad for a match and he helped them light the fire. The fire crackled and made orange sparks. + +"Wow, look at the fire! It's so pretty!" Lily said. + +"It is. And look at the chimney! The smoke is going up to the sky. Maybe it will make a cloud," Tom said. + +They sat down next to the fire and watched the smoke. They felt warm and comfortable. They hugged their snowman and thanked him for being their friend. + +The end. +Lily liked music. She liked to sing and dance and play with her toy piano. She had a lot of songs in her head that made her happy. + +One day, she saw a big piano in her friend Ben's house. It was shiny and black and had many keys. Lily wanted to play with it. She asked Ben, "Can I borrow your piano?" + +Ben said, "No, Lily. This is my dad's piano. He does not like anyone to touch it. It is very special and expensive. You can play with my toy guitar instead." + +Lily was sad. She did not want to play with the toy guitar. She wanted to play with the big piano. She thought Ben was not a good friend. She waited until Ben went to the kitchen to get a snack. Then she sneaked to the piano and sat on the stool. She put her fingers on the keys and pressed them. She heard a loud noise. It was not music. It was a scary sound. + +Ben heard the noise and ran back to the living room. He saw Lily on the piano. He was angry. He shouted, "Lily, what are you doing? You are not supposed to touch the piano. You are breaking it. Go away!" + +Lily was scared. She jumped off the stool and ran to the door. She did not say sorry. She did not say goodbye. She just ran away. She felt hurt. She felt bad. She wished she had not borrowed the piano. She wished she had listened to Ben. She wished she had played with the toy guitar. She wished she had been a good friend. +Lily was a little girl who liked to learn new things. She liked to learn about animals, colors, shapes and sounds. She liked to learn from books, toys, songs and her mom and dad. + +One day, Lily went to the zoo with her mom. She saw many animals that she had learned about, like lions, monkeys, elephants and penguins. She pointed at them with her finger and said their names. Her mom smiled and said, "You are very smart, Lily. You know a lot of animals." + +Lily saw a big bird with colorful feathers. It had a long beak and a crest on its head. It was a parrot. Lily had never seen a parrot before. She wanted to learn more about it. She asked her mom, "What is that bird, mom?" + +Her mom said, "That is a parrot, Lily. Parrots can talk. They can learn words from people and repeat them. Do you want to hear it talk?" + +Lily nodded her head and said, "Yes, mom. I want to hear it talk." + +Her mom and Lily walked closer to the parrot's cage. The parrot looked at them with its bright eye. It said, "Hello, hello. I am a parrot. I can talk. Can you talk?" + +Lily was amazed. She said, "Hello, parrot. I can talk. I am Lily. I am a girl." + +The parrot said, "Hello, Lily. You are a girl. I am a parrot. I am a bird." + +Lily and the parrot talked for a while. They learned each other's names, colors and sounds. They had fun. Lily's mom took a picture of them with her phone. + +Lily said, "Thank you, parrot. You are very nice. I learned a lot from you." + +The parrot said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are very sweet. I learned a lot from you too." + +Lily and her mom said goodbye to the parrot and went to see other animals. They had a yummy lunch at the zoo. They ate sandwiches, fruits and cookies. They drank juice and water. They were happy. They had a great day at the zoo. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. Lily had a new pair of boots. They were red and shiny and had stars on them. She felt powerful when she wore them. + +"Look at my boots, Max!" she said. "They are so fast and strong. I can do anything with them!" + +Max looked at her boots. He thought they were nice, but he liked his own shoes better. They were blue and had cars on them. He felt powerful when he wore them too. + +"Your boots are good, Lily, but my shoes are better," he said. "They are so fast and strong. I can do anything with them too!" + +Lily and Max started to argue. They both wanted to show off their shoes. They ran and jumped and slid faster and harder than before. They did not care about each other. They only cared about their shoes. + +But then, something bad happened. Lily tripped over a rock and fell down. She scraped her knee and it hurt a lot. She started to cry. Her boots did not help her. + +Max saw Lily crying. He felt sorry for her. He ran to her and helped her up. He did not care about his shoes anymore. He only cared about his friend. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "Are you okay? Your boots are still nice. They are not bad. You are not bad. You are my friend." + +Lily smiled through her tears. She hugged Max. She did not care about her boots anymore. She only cared about her friend too. + +"Thank you, Max," she said. "You are okay too. Your shoes are still nice. They are not bad. You are not bad. You are my friend too." + +Lily and Max walked to the bench. They sat down and looked at their shoes. They still liked them, but they liked each other more. They learned that shoes are not powerful. Friends are powerful. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. They also liked to nap together on the big couch. One day, they decided to have a pretend marriage. They put on hats and scarves and rings and said, "I do." + +Then they went to the couch to nap. But Lily's mom came and said, "Lily, it's time to go home. Say bye to Ben." + +Lily did not want to go. She said, "But mom, we are married now. We have to nap together." + +Lily's mom smiled and said, "You are very cute, but you are not really married. You are just playing. You can nap with Ben another day." + +Lily was sad, but she was also wise. She knew that mom was right. She gave Ben a hug and said, "Bye, Ben. I love you. See you tomorrow." + +Ben hugged her back and said, "Bye, Lily. I love you too. Have a good nap at home." + +They waved to each other and smiled. They were happy to be best friends. And they both had a good nap. +Mia and Leo like to sort their toys. They have a big box with many toys of different colors and shapes. Mia likes to sort by color. She puts all the red toys in one pile, all the blue toys in another pile, and so on. Leo likes to sort by shape. He puts all the round toys in one pile, all the square toys in another pile, and so on. + +One day, they decide to sort their toys together. They take out all the toys from the box and put them on the floor. Mia starts to sort by color, and Leo starts to sort by shape. But soon they have a problem. Some toys have more than one color or shape. For example, a ball is round and red. Mia wants to put it in the red pile, but Leo wants to put it in the round pile. They start to argue. + +"Give me the ball, it is red!" Mia says. + +"No, it is round!" Leo says. + +They pull the ball from each other and make a loud noise. Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the toys on the floor and the children fighting. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. + +"We are sorting our toys, but we can't agree!" Mia says. + +"Sorting is a good game, but you have to be polite to each other," mom says. "Why don't you try to sort by something else? Maybe by size, or by how much you like them, or by how they sound?" + +Mia and Leo think about it. They decide to sort by size. They make three piles: one for small toys, one for medium toys, and one for wide toys. The ball is wide, so they put it in the wide pile. They also find a wide book, a wide car, and a wide hat. They are happy to sort by size, and they stop arguing. + +"Look, mom, we sorted our toys by size!" Mia says. + +"Good job, Mia and Leo!" mom says. "You are very smart and polite. Now you can play with your toys, or read the wide book, or wear the wide hat. But remember to put them back in the box when you are done." + +Mia and Leo nod and smile. They thank mom and hug her. Then they play with their toys and have fun. They like to sort their toys, but they like to be polite more. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big fountain with water and coins. Lila wanted to make a wish. She took a penny from her pocket and said, "I wish for a new doll." + +She threw the penny into the fountain and watched it splash. Ben took a penny too and said, "I wish for a big truck." He threw the penny harder and it flew over the fountain and landed on the grass. + +"Oops!" Ben said. He ran to get his penny back. But he saw a man with a big hat and a long coat. The man was bending down and picking up coins from the grass. He had a bag full of them. + +"Hey, that's my penny!" Ben shouted. He ran to the man and tried to grab his penny. But the man was faster. He twisted Ben's arm and pushed him away. + +"Go away, kid!" the man said. "These are my lucky pennies. I need them for the lottery." + +Lila saw what happened and ran to help Ben. She kicked the man's leg and made him drop the bag. Coins spilled everywhere.

Tom thinks she is pretty and nice, so he stops his car and says hello. + +"Hi, I'm Tom. I like your balloon. Do you want to go for a ride in my car?" he asks. + +The little girl smiles and nods. She likes Tom's car. It is shiny and bright. She says, "Yes, please. I'm Lily. Thank you for stopping." + +Tom helps Lily get in his car. He buckles her seat belt and gives her a toy car to play with. He says, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm happy to meet you. Where do you want to go?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She says, "I want to go to the park. I like the swings and the slide. Can we go there?" + +Tom says, "Sure, we can go to the park. It's not far from here. Let's go!" + +Tom starts his car and drives to the park. He sings songs with rhythm and makes his car go vroom, vroom, vroom! Lily laughs and claps. She sings along and makes her toy car go vroom, vroom, vroom! + +They have fun on the way to the park. They are both happy and friendly. They like each other and their cars. They are a good pair. +One day, Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big red truck with a loud sound. It was an emergency truck. It helped people who were hurt or sick. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Tom said. "It is so fast and noisy. I want to be a driver of an emergency truck when I grow up." + +"Me too!" Lily said. "But we have to be very patient and brave. We have to help people who are in trouble and not be scared." + +They ran after the truck, pretending to be drivers.

She saw his knee and felt sorry for him. + +"Don't cry, Tom. It's okay. I will help you." Lily said. "I have a band-aid in my pocket. I will put it on your knee and make it better." + +She took out the band-aid and tried to open it. It was hard to open. She used her teeth and her fingers. She finally opened it and stuck it on Tom's knee. + +"There, all done. Does it feel better?" Lily asked. + +Tom looked at his knee and saw the band-aid. It had a picture of a dinosaur on it. He liked dinosaurs. He smiled and stopped crying. + +"Yes, it feels better. Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend and a good driver of an emergency truck." Tom said. + +Lily smiled and hugged Tom. They were both happy and proud. + +They got up and continued to play in the park. They still liked to slide, swing and run. They still liked to pretend to be drivers of an emergency truck. But they also liked to help each other and be patient and brave. They were the best of friends. +Lily and Ben liked to play with blocks. They could build many things with blocks. They could build houses, towers, bridges, and cars. But their favorite thing to build was a port. A port was a place where boats could come and go. + +One day, they decided to build a big port with many boats. They used blue blocks for the water, and brown blocks for the land. They used yellow and red blocks for the boats. They worked hard and had fun. They made a port with a dock, a lighthouse, and a crane. + +"Look at our port!" Lily said. "It is so nice and colorful. We have many boats. Do you want to play with them?" + +"Yes, I do!" Ben said. "Let's pretend we are sailors. We can sail to different places and see different things." + +They picked up some boats and started to make sailing noises. They moved their boats around the port and imagined they were on adventures. + +But then, Tom came. Tom was a big boy who liked to break things. He saw Lily and Ben's port and wanted to ruin it.

"That is our port! We built it with our blocks! You are mean and bad!" + +Tom laughed. He did not care. He liked to make Lily and Ben miserable. He kicked their blocks some more and ran away. + +Lily and Ben were very sad. They looked at their port. It was broken and messy. They had no boats left. They felt like crying. + +"It's okay," Ben said. "We can build it again. We still have our blocks. We can make it even better. We can make more boats and more things. We are good at building." + +Lily nodded. She wiped her tears. She smiled at Ben. He was a good friend. She picked up some blocks and gave some to Ben. + +"Let's build it again," she said. "We can make our port the best port ever. And we can play with our boats again. We are good at sailing." + +They hugged each other and started to build again.

He says, "No, mom, I want to see the jets now. Please, mom, please." + +His mom says, "I'm sorry, Ben, but we have to follow the rules. We have to go inside and check in. Then we can see the jets. Maybe we can even ride on a jet. Wouldn't that be fun?" + +Ben thinks about it. He likes the idea of riding on a jet. He thinks it would be very fun. He says, "OK, mom, let's go inside and check in. But can I lift my toy jet and make it fly when we see the real jets?" + +His mom says, "Sure, Ben, you can lift your toy jet and make it fly when we see the real jets. But you have to hold my hand and stay close to me, OK?" + +Ben says, "OK, mom, I will hold your hand and stay close to you. But I can't wait to see the jets.

We need flour, eggs, butter, sugar and mint." + +They go to the kitchen and ask Sara's mom for help. Sara's mom says, "OK, but you have to wash your hands and the mint first. And be careful with the oven." + +Sara and Tom wash their hands and the mint. They mix the flour, eggs, butter and sugar in a big bowl. They chop the mint and add it to the mix. They pour the mix in a cake pan and put it in the oven. + +They wait for the cake to bake. They smell the mint and the cake. They are happy and hungry. + +Sara's mom says, "The cake is ready.

She had many books with pictures and words. She read them every day. She learned new things from the books. + +One day, she found a book about arrows. She did not know what arrows were. She opened the book and saw a picture of a stick with a point and a feather. The book said, "This is an arrow. You can shoot it with a bow. It can fly far and fast." + +Lily wanted to try. She asked her dad, "Dad, can I have a bow and an arrow?" + +Her dad smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. I have a toy bow and arrow for you. But you have to be careful. Arrows can hurt people and animals. You can only shoot at targets, not at living things. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, dad. I understand. I want to shoot at targets. Can you show me how?" + +Her dad took her to the backyard. He set up a big circle with a red dot in the middle. He gave Lily the toy bow and arrow.

It was big and colorful, and had a picture of a snake on the cover. Lila was curious. She took the book and opened it. Inside, there were more pictures of snakes, and words that she did not know. + +She tried to read the words, but they were hard. She asked her teddy bear, "Do you know what this says?" But her teddy bear did not speak. He only smiled and hugged her. + +Lila decided to ask her mom. She took the book and her teddy bear and went to the kitchen, where her mom was making cookies. She showed her mom the book and said, "Mom, what is this book about?" + +Her mom looked at the book and smiled. She said, "This is a book about snakes, Lila. Snakes are animals that have no legs and no arms. They are very flexible. They can bend and twist and curl their bodies in different ways. Some snakes are friendly, and some snakes are not. Do you want to learn more about snakes?" + +Lila nodded. She liked to learn new things. She said, "Yes, mom, I do. Can you read this book to me?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, I can. Let's go to the couch and read it together. Maybe your teddy bear will like it too." + +Lila was happy. She hugged her mom and her teddy bear and went to the couch.

He is almost ready," her mom said. + +Lily waited for a few seconds, then asked again. "How about now?" + +Her dad came out of the bathroom and smiled. "Now we can go, Lily. Are you ready for some fun?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily said, jumping up and down. + +They got in the car and drove to the park. Lily had a lot of fun playing with her mom and dad. She swung high, slid fast and made a big castle in the sandbox. She also made some new friends and shared her toys with them. + +After a while, Lily started to feel tired. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. Her mom noticed and said, "Lily, do you want to take a nap?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, I want to play more." + +Her dad said, "Lily, you have played a lot. You need to rest a little bit. How about we go home and you can take a nap in your cozy bed? Then you can play more later." + +Lily thought about it. She wanted to play more, but she also felt sleepy. She nodded and said, "Okay, I will take a nap. But can we come back to the park tomorrow?" + +Her mom and dad hugged her and said, "Of course, we can, Lily. We love you." + +They got in the car and drove home. Lily fell asleep on the way.

She did not want to leave Lily behind. She asked her mom if she could take Lily with her. + +"Of course, you can, my dear," her mom said. "But you have to be careful with her. She is very old and fragile. She might get torn or dirty on the way." + +Sara nodded and hugged Lily. She put her in a small bag and packed some clothes and snacks. She was ready to go. + +They took a bus to the train station, and then a train to the countryside. Sara enjoyed looking at the trees, the flowers, and the animals.

She had fallen out somewhere on the train. Sara felt very sad and cried. She had lost her best friend. + +Her mom and grandma tried to comfort her. They told her they would look for Lily, or buy her a new doll. But Sara did not want to replace Lily. She wanted her back. + +That night, Sara prayed to God and asked him to help her find Lily. She missed her so much. + +The next day, Sara heard a knock on the door. She ran to open it, and saw a man holding Lily in his hand. He was a train conductor, and he had found Lily on the seat.

Here, take some sand with your spade and put it on top of the tower." + +Mia did as Tim said and added more sand to the tower. They worked together and made the tower even taller. + +But then, a big wave came and washed over the sand. The tower fell down and the spade was gone. + +"Oh no, Tim, our tower is gone! And your spade too!" Mia cried. + +Tim was sad too. He liked his spade. He looked around and saw the spade floating in the water. He ran to get it, but he was too late. The wave took the spade away. + +"Mom, Dad, help! My spade is gone!" Tim shouted. + +Mom and Dad heard Tim and came to him. They hugged him and tried to comfort him. + +"I'm sorry, Tim, your spade is gone. But don't worry, we can get you a new one. And you can still play with Mia and make another tower."

They also ordered some fish and salad and bread. + +The tall man went away and came back with their food. He put a big plate of jellyfish in front of Mom and Dad. They looked like white noodles with pink spots. Sara and Ben looked at them and made faces. + +"Yuck!" Sara said. + +"Gross!" Ben said. + +Mom and Dad picked up their forks and tried some jellyfish. They chewed and swallowed and made funny faces too. + +"Ugh!" Mom said. + +"Blech!" Dad said. + +They did not like the jellyfish. They pushed the plate away and ate their other food. Sara and Ben ate their pizza and fries and laughed. + +"Next time, let's order something else," Mom said. + +"Or go to a different restaurant," Dad said. + +They all agreed and finished their meal. They paid the tall man and left the restaurant. They went back to the beach and played some more. They saw some jellyfish in the water and stayed away from them.

She waved the stick and yelled at the bear. + +"Go away, bear! Leave my children alone!" she said. + +The bear was afraid of the mom and the stick.

Thank you for protecting us," they said. + +They told their mom about the hill, the spring, and the bear. She listened and smiled. + +"I'm glad you're OK, my brave twins. But next time, be more careful and don't go too far. The hill is not a safe place to play. There are many wild animals there.

But Ben sees her. He does not want to share the slide. He says the slide is his. He tells Anna to go away. He refuses to let her on the slide. Anna is hurt. She does not understand why Ben is so rude. She says, "Ben, why are you so mean? I thought we were friends. Friends share and play together. Don't you like me anymore?" + +Ben does not answer. He slides down again. He does not look at Anna. He does not care about her feelings. He only cares about himself. Anna feels very sad. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She turns around and walks away. She looks for someone else to play with. Someone who is nice and kind. Someone who is a real friend. +Lila and Sam were very hot and thirsty. They were walking in the sand with their dad. They wanted to find water and shade. They saw many rocks and cacti, but no water. + +"Are we there yet, dad?"

It was their nosy cousin Max, who came to visit. Max was older than Tom and Lily, and he always wanted to see what they were doing. + +"Hi, Tom and Lily, what are you playing with?" Max asked, as he walked into their room. + +"It's our bottle, it can change color, see?" Lily said, as she shook the bottle and made it turn red. + +"Wow, that's cool, can I try?"

Max said, as he tried to grab the bottle from Tom. + +"Stop it, Max, you're being nosy!" Lily said, as she pushed Max away. + +They started to fight over the bottle, and they did not see that the lid was loose. The bottle slipped from their hands and fell to the floor. The water spilled out and made a big mess. The bottle did not change color anymore. + +"Uh-oh, look what you did, Max, you broke our bottle!" Tom and Lily cried. + +"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it was an accident!" Max said. + +They heard their mom coming up the stairs. They knew they were in trouble.

He looks for his tools, but he cannot find them. He asks his wife, Mary, where they are. + +"Mary, where are my tools? I need to repair the fence. The pigs can run away and get lost." + +Mary says, "I am sorry, Tom. I used your tools to fix the roof. It was leaking. I forgot to put them back. They are not available now." + +Tom is sad. He does not have tools to repair the fence. He thinks of what to do. He sees some sticks and stones on the ground. He has an idea. He picks up the sticks and stones and uses them to make a new fence.

She started to cry. + +"Why are you crying, Sara?" her mom asked. + +"I can't open the envelope!" Sara sobbed. "It's too hard!" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "Don't cry, sweetie. I can help you. Sometimes envelopes are hard to open, but we can use a knife to cut them. Do you want to try?" + +Sara nodded and wiped her tears.

He says, "But I have poor cards. They are old and torn. Your cards are new and shiny. Please, Lily, let me borrow your card for a little while." + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes to share, but she also likes her cards. She says, "OK, Ben. You can borrow my card, but only for today. You have to give it back to me tomorrow. And you have to be careful with it. Do not bend it or lose it." + +Ben is happy. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I will take good care of your card. I will give it back to you tomorrow." + +Lily and Ben play with the cards. They have fun. They make noises like the animals. They match the colors. They laugh and smile.

She knocked on the door and said, "Mom, Dad, can I come in? I heard a noise and I'm scared." + +Her mom opened the door and hugged her. "It's okay, Lily. It was just a thunderstorm. It's a cool night, so we left the window open. Come, let's go back to your room and close the window." + +Her dad followed them and carried her teddy bear. He tucked her in and said, "Don't worry, Lily. We're right here if you need us. Try to think of happy things, like your birthday party or your trip to the zoo.

The truck had many things in it. Some things were big, some things were small. + +"Look, Tom, a saw!" Sam said. He pointed to a saw in the truck. The saw was shiny and sharp. "Can we play with it?" + +"No, Sam, we can't," Tom said. He shook his head. "The saw is not for us. The saw is for the men. The men are building a new house. The saw is useful for them. They can cut wood with it." + +Sam was sad. He wanted to play with the saw. He thought it looked fun. He did not understand why the men needed it. + +"Come on, Sam, let's go," Tom said. He took Sam's hand. "We can find other things to play with. Maybe we can find some balls, or some sticks, or some rocks." + +Sam nodded. He followed Tom. They walked away from the truck. As they walked, they saw a dog. The dog was brown and fluffy. The dog wagged its tail. The dog ran to them. + +"Hello, dog," Tom said. He smiled. He petted the dog. The dog licked his face. + +"Hello, dog," Sam said. He smiled too. He petted the dog. The dog licked his face. + +The dog was happy. The dog liked Tom and Sam. The dog wanted to play with them. + +"Welcome, dog," Tom and Sam said. They hugged the dog. The dog barked. + +They found a new friend. They played with the dog. They forgot about the saw. They had fun. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many roots. The roots are open and show the dirt and the bugs. + +"Look, Sara, a big tree!" Tom says. "Can we climb it?" + +Sara nods. She likes to climb. She finds a root that is like a step. She puts her foot on it and pulls herself up. Tom follows her. They climb higher and higher, until they reach a branch. + +"Wow, we are so high!" Sara says. "We can see the whole park!" + +Tom smiles. He sees the swings, the slide, the sandbox and the pond. He also sees some people. They are sitting on a bench. They have a guitar and a flute. They are making music. + +"Listen, Sara, music!" Tom says. "Do you like it?" + +Sara listens. She likes the music. It is happy and fun. She claps her hands. Tom claps his hands too. They applaud the music. + +The people hear them. They look up and see Sara and Tom on the tree. They smile and wave. They say, "Thank you for applauding! You are brave to climb so high!" + +Sara and Tom wave back. They say, "You are welcome! You make good music!" + +They are all happy. They share the music and the tree. They are friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have a big box of cars and trucks in Tom's room. They take them out and make roads and bridges on the floor. + +One day, Tom has a new car. It is red and shiny. It has a button on the side. Tom says, "Look, Sam, this is my new car. It can speed very fast. Watch this!" He pushes the button and the car zooms across the floor. It makes a loud noise. Sam says, "Wow, Tom, that is a cool car. Can I try it?" + +Tom says, "Sure, Sam, you can try it. But be careful. It can speed very fast. Do not hit anything." He gives the car to Sam. Sam pushes the button and the car zooms across the floor. It makes a loud noise. Sam says, "This is fun, Tom. I like your car. It is very fast." + +But then, the car speeds too fast. It hits the wall. It bounces back and hits the table. It knocks over a vase. The vase falls and breaks. Water and flowers spill on the floor. Tom and Sam say, "Oh no!" They are scared. They hear Tom's mom coming. + +Tom's mom opens the door. She sees the mess. She sees the broken vase. She sees the wet floor. She sees the car. She sees Tom and Sam. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, Sam, what happened here? Why did you break the vase? Why did you make a mess?" + +Tom and Sam are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We were playing with the car. It can speed very fast. We did not mean to break the vase. We did not mean to make a mess." + +Tom's mom is mild. She is not angry. She says, "I see. The car can speed very fast. But you have to be careful. You have to watch where you go. You have to respect the things in the room. You have to clean up the mess. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam say, "Yes, mom, we understand. We are sorry. We will clean up the mess. We will be careful next time." They hug Tom's mom. She hugs them back. She says, "It's okay. I love you. But next time, play with the car outside. And look, I have a letter for you. It is from your grandma. She sent you a card and a sticker. Do you want to see?" + +Tom and Sam say, "Yes, mom, we want to see. Thank you, mom. We love you too." They take the letter from Tom's mom. They open it. They see the card and the sticker. They are happy. They say, "Thank you, grandma. We love you too." They stick the sticker on the car. They say, "Now the car is even cooler. It has a sticker from grandma. Do you want to play with it outside, Sam?" + +Sam says, "Yes, Tom, I want to play with it outside. But let's be careful. Let's not speed too fast. Let's not hit anything. Let's have fun." They take the car outside. They play with it on the grass. They are careful. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing, and run. One day, they see a big pile of leaves. They want to jump in the leaves and make noise. + +"Let's go, Sara!" Ben says. "It looks fun!" + +"Okay, Ben!" Sara says. "But be careful. There might be something in the leaves." + +They run to the pile of leaves and jump in. They laugh and throw leaves in the air. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Sara feels something hard and cold. She screams and jumps out of the leaves. Ben follows her and sees what she found. It is a skeleton! + +"Whoa, Sara! What is that?" Ben says. "It looks scary!" + +"It is a skeleton, Ben!" Sara says. "It is what we have inside us, but without skin and hair. Maybe it was a person or an animal a long time ago." + +"Wow, Sara! You know a lot!" Ben says. "But how did it get here?" + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe someone put it here for a joke. Or maybe it was buried and the wind blew the leaves over it. Or maybe it was a mystery!" Sara says. + +They look at the skeleton for a while. They are curious and a little afraid. They wonder who or what it was and what happened to it. + +"Should we tell someone, Sara?" Ben says. "Maybe they can take it away and find out more about it." + +"Yes, Ben. We should tell someone. But we have to be careful. We don't want to touch it or break it. It might be important or dangerous." Sara says. + +They manage to find a grown-up who works in the park. They tell him about the skeleton and show him where it is. He is surprised and calls someone else. He thanks Sara and Ben for being brave and smart. + +Sara and Ben feel proud and happy. They solved a mystery and helped someone. They go back to play in the park, but they avoid the pile of leaves. They don't want to find any more skeletons. +Ben liked to ride his bike. He had a red bike with a bell and a helmet. His helmet was blue and had a star on it. He always wore his helmet when he rode his bike. + +One day, he wanted to ride his bike to the park. He asked his mom if he could go. His mom said yes, but he had to be careful and stay on the sidewalk. Ben said okay and ran to get his bike and helmet. + +But when he got to the garage, he could not find his helmet. He looked everywhere, but it was gone. He felt sad and confused. Where did his helmet go? He asked his mom if she knew. His mom said she did not know, but maybe his brother took it. + +Ben had a brother named Sam. Sam was older and bigger than Ben. Sam was also lazy and mean. He did not like to ride his bike. He liked to play video games and watch TV. He did not care about Ben's bike or helmet. + +Ben went to Sam's room and knocked on the door. He asked Sam if he had his helmet. Sam said no, he did not have it. He said he did not care about Ben's helmet. He said Ben was a baby and his helmet was stupid. He told Ben to go away and leave him alone. + +Ben felt angry and hurt. He did not believe Sam. He thought Sam was lying. He thought Sam took his helmet and hid it somewhere. He wanted to find his helmet and make Sam say sorry. He decided to look for his helmet in Sam's room when Sam was not there. + +He waited until Sam went to the bathroom. Then he sneaked into Sam's room and looked around. He saw Sam's bed, his closet, his desk, his TV, and his video games. He did not see his helmet. He looked under the bed, in the closet, in the drawers, and behind the curtains. He did not see his helmet. He felt frustrated and sad. Where did his helmet disappear? He wondered if he would ever find it. He wished Sam was nice and helpful. He wished Sam was his friend. +Anna liked to play with her toys in her room. She had many toys: dolls, cars, blocks, books, and more. She liked to make stories with her toys and pretend they were her friends. But sometimes, she did not put her toys away when she was done. Her room was very messy. + +One day, her mom came to her room and said, "Anna, you need to clean your room. It is too messy. You have no space to play. And you might lose your toys or break them. Please put them in the boxes and shelves." + +Anna did not want to clean her room. She said, "No, mom. I like my room like this. It is fun. I know where my toys are. I do not want to put them away." + +Her mom said, "Anna, you have to clean your room. It is not good to be messy. And you have a new neighbor who is coming to visit. She is your age and she wants to play with you. But she will not like your room if it is messy. She will think you are not nice. Do you want to make a new friend?" + +Anna thought about it. She liked to make new friends. She wondered what her new neighbor was like. Maybe she had toys too. Maybe they could play together and share their toys. She said, "Okay, mom. I will clean my room. But can you help me?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, I will help you. I am glad you accept to clean your room. And I am sure your new neighbor will like you. She is very sweet and friendly. Her name is Lily. She lives next door. She will be here soon. Let's hurry and make your room nice and tidy." + +Anna and her mom worked together to clean her room. They put the toys in the boxes and shelves. They made the bed and dusted the furniture. They threw away the trash and swept the floor. They made her room look neat and cozy. + +Soon, they heard a knock on the door. It was Lily and her mom. They came to say hello and introduce themselves. Anna's mom invited them to come in and see Anna's room. Anna was nervous and excited. She hoped Lily would like her and her room. + +Lily and her mom followed Anna and her mom to her room. Lily saw Anna's toys and smiled. She said, "Wow, you have so many toys. They look fun. Can I play with you?" + +Anna smiled back and said, "Yes, you can. I like to play with my toys. They are my friends. But you can be my friend too. Do you have toys?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. I have some dolls and books and puzzles. Maybe we can bring them and play together. Do you like puzzles?" + +Anna said, "Yes, I do. I like puzzles. They are fun and smart. Do you want to do a puzzle with me?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. Let's do a puzzle together. You are very nice. I am happy to be your neighbor and your friend." + +Anna and Lily hugged and laughed. They took out a puzzle and started to do it together. They had a lot of fun. They talked and shared and helped each other. They were happy to play together. + +Anna's mom and Lily's mom watched them and smiled. They were glad their daughters got along so well. They were proud of them for being friendly and polite. They were happy to be neighbors and friends too. +Anna liked to play with her robot. It was smooth and shiny and made funny noises. She took it everywhere with her, even to bed. One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a boy with a ball. He was alone and looked sad. + +"Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to play with me?" she asked. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. I like your robot. Can I see it?" he said. + +Anna smiled and handed him her robot. "Sure, you can see it. It is my favorite toy. You can lend it for a while, but be careful with it." + +Ben was happy and thanked her. He played with the robot and made it walk and talk. He liked how it felt in his hands, smooth and cool. He also shared his ball with Anna and they threw it to each other. They had fun and became friends. + +After a while, Anna's mom said it was time to go home. Anna went to Ben and asked for her robot back. + +"Here you go, Anna. Thank you for lending me your robot. It is very nice. Can we play again tomorrow?" he said. + +"Yes, we can play again tomorrow. And you can lend my robot again, if you want. You are a good friend, Ben." she said. + +They hugged and said goodbye. Anna took her robot and waved to Ben. She was happy that she had made a new friend and that he liked her robot. She hoped he would come to the park again. She put her robot in her backpack and held her mom's hand. They walked home together. +Ben was a curious boy who liked to ask many questions. He wanted to know how things worked and why they did what they did. He liked to look at books and pictures and learn new words. + +One day, Ben had to go to the hospital for an operation. He was scared and did not want to go. He complained to his mom and dad and said he did not need an operation. He said he felt fine and wanted to stay home and play. + +His mom and dad hugged him and told him that the operation was to help him breathe better and feel better. They said the doctor was very nice and would take good care of him. They said they would be with him the whole time and he would get a sticker and a toy after the operation. + +Ben still felt scared, but he tried to be brave. He asked his mom and dad many questions about the hospital and the operation. They answered him as best as they could and told him not to worry. They said he was a smart and strong boy and they loved him very much. + +At the hospital, Ben met the doctor and the nurse. They smiled at him and gave him a gown and a hat to wear. They checked his heart and his temperature and gave him some medicine to make him sleepy. Ben asked them what they were going to do and why. They explained to him that they were going to make a small cut in his throat and put a tube in it to help him breathe better. They said it would not hurt and he would not feel anything. They said he would wake up soon and his mom and dad would be there. + +Ben nodded and said okay. He felt a little curious and a little sleepy. He closed his eyes and dreamed of books and pictures and new words. He hoped the operation would make him feel better and he could go home and play soon. He knew his mom and dad loved him and he loved them too. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big brown box that they pretended was a castle. Tom was the king and Lily was the queen. They had a lot of fun making up stories and rules for their castle. + +But then, a loud noise came from the other side of the fence. It was Max, the neighbor's dog. He was big and black and barked a lot. He wanted to play with Tom and Lily, but they were scared of him. He jumped over the fence and ran towards their castle. + +"Help!" Tom and Lily shouted. They ran inside the box and closed the flap. They hoped Max would go away, but he did not. He scratched and bit the box, making holes and tears. He wanted to get inside and see what was there. + +"Please, go away, Max!" Lily cried. "You are ruining our castle!" + +"Let us out, Max!" Tom yelled. "You are not nice!" + +But Max did not listen. He kept attacking the box, making it smaller and smaller. Tom and Lily felt trapped and sad. They did not know what to do. + +Then, they heard another voice. It was Mom. She had heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Max and the box and understood what had happened. She was not happy. + +"Max, stop that!" Mom said. "You are being a bad dog! Go back to your yard, now!" + +She grabbed Max by the collar and pulled him away from the box. She scolded him and told him to stay. Then, she opened the flap and looked inside. She saw Tom and Lily, who were dirty and scared. + +"Are you okay, my loves?" Mom asked. "I'm sorry Max scared you. He did not mean to hurt you. He just wanted to play, but he did not know how." + +She hugged them and kissed them. She took them inside the house and gave them some lotion for their scratches. She told them they were brave and smart. She said they could make another castle later, with a stronger box. + +Tom and Lily felt better. They thanked Mom and smiled. They still did not like Max, but they were glad Mom was there. They decided to surrender their castle to Max, and let him have it. Maybe he would like it, and leave them alone. Maybe he would learn to be nice, and play with them someday. Maybe. +Ben and Mia are on the same team. They like to play soccer with their friends. They wear red shirts and blue shorts.

They saw a cute bird with red and yellow feathers. It was singing on a branch. + +"Look, Ben, a pretty bird!" Mia said. "Let's feed it some bread." + +"OK, Mia, but be careful. Don't go too close," Ben said. He broke a piece of bread and threw it to the bird. + +The bird flew down and ate the bread. It was happy and sang louder.

It was not a stick. It was a snake! + +Lila and Ben screamed and let go of the snake. The snake was angry and restless. It slithered away fast. Lila and Ben ran to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, we found a snake!" they said. + +"Where?" asked mom. + +"In the garden, it was hiding like a stick!" said Lila. + +"Are you okay? Did it bite you?" asked mom. + +"No, we are okay, but we are scared!" said Ben. + +Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it was probably just a garter snake. They are not dangerous, but they don't like to be bothered. Next time, be careful and look before you touch anything in the garden.

I want it." + +Ben says, "No, Lila. That is not an apple. That is a pear. Pears are not good. They are sour. Let's pick red apples. They are sweet." + +Lila says, "But I like pears. They are crunchy. And this pear is weird. It is east. It is not on the west side of the tree. It is on the east side. Maybe it is a magic pear. Maybe it can make a wish come true." + +Ben says, "That is silly, Lila.

Maybe it can make a wish come true." + +Lila says, "No, Ben. You can't have a bite of my weird pear. It is mine. You have the red apples. They are yours. You said they are better. You said pears are not good. You said east is not special. You were wrong. This is a good pear. And it is east. And it is special. And it is mine." + +Ben says, "Please, Lila. Just one bite. I want to try it. I want to see if it is yummy. I want to see if it is fun. Please, Lila. Please." + +Lila says, "No, Ben. No. This is my weird pear. And I love it. And I won't share it. Not with you. Not with anyone. Go away, Ben. Go away." + +Ben says, "Fine, Lila. Fine. Be selfish. Be mean. I don't care. I don't want your weird pear. I have my red apples. And they are good. And they are sweet. And they are west. And they are mine." + +Ben picks a red apple. He bites it. He frowns. He says, "Blech, this is a bad apple. It is sour and mushy. And it is west. It is not special. I don't like it." + +Lila laughs. She says, "Ha, ha, Ben. You picked a bad apple. You should have picked a weird pear. They are good. And they are east. And they are special. And they are mine." + +Lila eats her weird pear. She is happy. Ben throws his bad apple. He is sad. They learn a lesson. Sometimes, weird is good. And sometimes, red is bad. And sometimes, east is special. And sometimes, west is not. And sometimes, sharing is nice. And sometimes, not sharing is not. The end. +Sara and Ben like to collect butterflies.

One day, they see a big gray duck in the water. The duck swims to their boat and tries to bite it. + +"Go away, duck!" Lila shouts. "This is our boat, not yours!" + +But the duck does not listen.

"But our boat is not okay." + +Mom looks at the boat and sees the hole. She smiles and says, "Don't worry, we can fix the boat. We can use some tape and glue and make it good as new. Then you can play with it again." + +Lila and Ben smile too. They are happy that mom can fix the boat and that the duck is gone. They say thank you to mom and give her a kiss. Then they go inside to have some cookies and milk. +Ben and Lily wanted to go on the water with their dad. He had a big kayak that could fit them all. He said it was fun and safe, but Ben was nervous. He did not like the water. It was wet and cold and deep. + +They put on life jackets and helmets and got in the kayak. Dad paddled and steered. Lily smiled and waved at the ducks and fish. Ben held on tight and looked down. He saw his face in the water and it scared him. He wanted to go back. + +"Dad, I don't like this. Can we go back?" he asked. + +"Not yet, Ben. We have to go around the bend first. It's okay, you're doing great. Look, there's a bridge ahead. Isn't it cool?" Dad said. + +But Ben did not think it was cool. He thought it was dark and scary. He saw shadows and noises under the bridge. He thought they were monsters. He started to cry. + +"Dad, there are monsters under the bridge! They're going to get us!" he shouted. + +"No, Ben, there are no monsters. They're just cars and trucks. They can't hurt us. We're almost there. Come on, be brave. You can do this." Dad said. + +But Ben did not listen. He cried louder and louder. He wept so hard that he rocked the kayak. Lily got scared too. She did not like the noise and the shaking. She started to cry as well. + +"Dad, Ben is making the kayak move! I don't like this. Can we go back?" she asked. + +"Okay, okay, calm down, both of you. We're going back. It's okay. We're almost there. Just hold on and stop crying. It's okay." Dad said. + +He turned the kayak around and paddled fast. He wanted to get out of the water and make his kids happy. He felt sorry for them. He thought they would like the kayak, but they did not. He hoped they would try again another day, when they were older and less nervous. He hugged them and said he loved them. He said they did a good job.

"I'm going to sail on the piano!" + +Mommy smiled. She helped Jack push the piano outside. Soon, it was in the backyard. + +Jack grabbed a stick and used it as a sail. He jumped on the piano and held the stick up in the wind. He began to sail. + +Jack kept sailing until the sun went down. He laughed and smiled the whole time. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends named Jenny and Jane. They always liked to do things together and go on adventures. One day, they decided to go for a walk in the park. As they were walking, Jenny spotted a yummy cane on the ground. + +Jenny wanted to pick it up and eat it, but Jane said they should discuss it first. Jenny wasn't happy with that, so she argued with her friend. + +Jenny shouted, "No! I want the cane right now!" + +But Jane calmly said, "Let's talk about this. It's not nice to take things that don't belong to us." + +Sadly, Jenny had to agree with Jane. They decided it would be best to leave it alone and not steal it. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to always discuss things with your friends and listen to their advice, even if you don't agree with it. Your friends might have good ideas and it's better to work together than to fight. +Danny was very upset. He had just lost a game which he desperately wanted to win. +Suddenly, his mom announced they were going to test something. +Danny wondered what it could be. +They reached their destination and his mom pointed to a sunflower. +Danny was confused but then his mom told him he was going to help them give the sunflower lots of love and care. +Danny was overjoyed and quickly got to work. +He took a special watering can and carefully provided the sunflower with water and then added some special fertilizer. +The sunflower responded to Danny’s love, and grew bigger day by day. +Danny was no longer upset as he now had a new sunflower friend to care for. +Once there was a little girl named Penny.

She had never seen a rare penny before! She knew just what to do. + +She marched into the store and asked the storekeeper, "Can I have a rare penny please?" + +The storekeeper said, "I'm sorry, but we don't have any rare pennies here." + +But Penny wouldn't take no for an answer. She politely said, "May I please order one?" + +The storekeeper was surprised by the little girl's tenacity. He said, "Well, since you asked so nicely, I guess I can order a rare penny for you." + +Penny thanked the storekeeper and soon she had her very own rare penny.

She knew she had found her adventure! + +Inside the castle, Princess Beatrice found many amazing things. She gained knowledge, friendship and most importantly, courage. She left the castle feeling so brave and strong. + +Princess Beatrice had gained something very special – the power to take on whatever the universe threw at her. +Once upon a time there was a wild polar bear who was always hungry. One day he came across a picnic in the woods. He kept his eyes peeled for something to eat. He saw a napkin filled with food. He was so delighted that he immediately ran up to it and started to destroy it. Suddenly, he heard a small voice saying, "Hey! That's mine!" + +The polar bear turned around and saw a little 3 year old girl holding a napkin and pointing at the bear. The bear apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was yours". The little girl smiled and said, "It's OK. You can have it". + +The polar bear was so touched by her kindness that he thanked her and said, "Thank you very much. You are very wild." The little girl laughed and said, "Yes I am!" They both shared the napkin together and the polar bear left feeling very happy. +Once there was a big, creative armchair in a room. Every day, a three year old girl liked to hang on the armchair. She even liked to swing and flip around when she was on it. + +One day, after she was done playing on the armchair, she asked her mom, "Can I hang on the armchair again tomorrow?" Her mom replied kindly, "Yes, you can hang on the armchair. But only for a little while, okay?" + +The girl smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just hang for a little while tomorrow." The next day, the girl hung on the armchair with joy. She used her creative mind to come up with different ways to hang, swing, and flip around the armchair. She had so much fun! + +After she was done playing, the girl asked her mom if she could hang on the armchair again later. Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Just don't hang for too long, okay?" + +And so the girl happily hung from the armchair every day and used her creative mind to make each play session even more fun. +Once there was a mummy that was really messy. One day, she looked down at the ground and saw that it was really wet. Her little three year old son was standing there with a big bucket of water. + +"What are you doing?" mummy asked. + +"I'm being a driver," the little boy said. + +Mummy couldn't help but smile. She gave the little boy a towel and said, "You want to be like the big drivers, don't you? Well, first you need to learn how to dry the ground". + +The little boy got to work drying the floor with the towel. He did a really good job, and mummy praised him. + +From then on, he began to take more care when he was doing things around the house. He made sure to clean up any messes he made and even dried up any spilled water. + +Moral of the story: Taking responsibility for your actions and cleaning up the mess can lead to bigger and better opportunities. +Once there was a girl who was very excited. She was so excited she wanted to run and jump. She went to her mom and said "Please, please, can I go outside and play?" + +Her mom said yes, so the girl raced out the door. She ran and jumped through the grass and giggled. She was so happy and free. + +The girl was so excited that she decided to skip. She ran around the garden, skipping and laughing. She stopped for a few minutes to pick some flowers. + +When she was done playing, the girl went back to her mom. She smiled and hugged her mom and said "Thank you, mommy. That was so much fun!" Her mom smiled and said "You're welcome, sweetheart". +Once upon a time, there was a famous flower. People from all over the world came to see it bloom.

He noticed a lot of crazy things happening and it made him very nervous. + +His mommy had warned him to be careful so he decided to stay near her. He was happy because he knew he was safe with her. + +Max had learned something that day: always listen to mommy's warnings or else things might get too crazy and it could be scary. +Jack and Liza were calling for Daisy, their little sister. + +"Daisy, where are you?" called Jack. + +Liza smiled. "I bet she's in her room playing." + +The siblings looked around the house, but they couldn't find her. Suddenly, Liza saw something out the window. + +"Look!" she said. + +Jack looked out the window and saw Daisy walking down the street wearing a hat. + +"Come on," said Jack. "We'd better go after her!" + +Jack and Liza ran outside and caught up with Daisy. + +"Where did you get the hat?" asked Liza. + +Daisy hung her head. "I borrowed it from the neighbour's house," she admitted. + +Liza shook her head. "Daisy, you shouldn't have done that. You know you shouldn't borrow things without asking." + +Daisy looked guilty. "Sorry," she said, and gave the hat back. + +Jack smiled. "No harm done," he said. "Let's go home, okay?" + +The three of them walked home, holding hands. They knew never to borrow without asking ever again. +Once there was a girl named Lily. Lily was three years old and loved to dress up.

She twirled around, feeling dizzy and excited. + +Lily wanted to show her dress to her friends so she went outside. When she saw all their plastic toys, she got even more excited! Together they danced and spun until they were so dizzy they had to rest. + +Lily was happy in her dress and always remembered the fun time she had with her friends. +One day, two small friends were playing in the garden. It was a sunny day, but suddenly it started to rain. The friends shivered as the cold drops touched their skin. + +"We should go inside," said one friend. + +"No, I want to keep playing," said the other. + +So they stayed in the garden and shivered, until the rain stopped. Then one friend gave the other a hug to make them feel better. + +But the hug made them shiver even more when they realized that there was an animal in the garden. It was a little mouse! + +The friends were scared, so they hugged each other tight. The mouse watched them, until it grew brave enough to join them.

Timmy asked her teddy bear. + +The teddy bear just stared back at her, so Timmy decided to use her umbrella. She opened it and it felt nice and strong. She felt brave and a little less scared. + +Suddenly a big gust of wind blew and Timmy started to panic. The wind blew really hard and it was too strong for Timmy's umbrella. To make matters worse, the umbrella started to turn inside-out. + +Timmy began to cry and shouted for help. But no one was around. Timmy had to think quick and use her umbrella to protect herself. She held it above her head and used her body to make it thicker. + +The wind eventually stopped, and Timmy was safe! She felt relieved.

She was thankful for her umbrella. +Once upon a time there were two friends. Jill and Sam. They both had a fine wagon and liked playing with it in the park. + +One day they noticed that their wagons were gone. Jill noticed that it was Danny, he had stolen the wagons. + +Jill said to Danny, "Why did you steal the wagons?" + +Danny replied, "I wanted them for my own". + +Sam angrily said, "That's not fair, you can't steal things like that". + +Danny realized what he did was wrong and he immediately put the wagons back.

Lily helped Emma wrap the bandage around her leg and then she put the cold pack on it. + +That made Emma feel much better. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was a mysterious cube. Nobody knew where it came from or what it did. + +One day, a curious three-year old named Lisa came across the cube while playing outside. She asked, “What is this?†+ +No one answered. + +Lisa picked up the cube and tried to open it, but it wouldn’t budge. She got frustrated and tried harder, but it still wouldn’t open. + +She decided to hide the cube in her pocket. She thought maybe if she hid it for a little while, the answer would come to her. + +However, as soon as Lisa walked away with the cube, a mysterious figure appeared from behind the bushes. He shouted, “Hey! Where did you get that cube?!†+ +Lisa was scared and started to run away, but the mysterious figure shouted, “Wait! That cube is mine.

It was bigger, shinier, and thicker than his own. Luke was jealous. + +“Can I try your stick?†he asked, his voice full of longing. + +“No! It’s my stick!†Suzy said with a mighty scream. + +Luke was so hurt that he screamed too. He grabbed his own stick, ran away, and found a special place under a tree where he could cry. + +Suddenly, he heard a voice. “Here, I have an extra stick,†it said. Luke looked up to see Suzy, holding another big stick, smiling at him. + +He smiled back. Having a special stick of his own was much better than being jealous. +Once upon a time there were two friends, Jack and Susie. One day Jack said to Susie, "Let's choose something to eat!" + +Susie looked around and saw some meat. "Let's choose the meat!" she said. She and Jack ran over to the meat and each chose one piece. + +Meanwhile, far away in a distant place, a third friend was making his own choice. He chose some food and said, "My choice is better than yours!" + +Jack and Susie smiled and shouted back, "No way!

It's a harsh pain." + +The seller looked very concerned and said, "There, there. I think maybe you should go home now and have a rest." + +John agreed and the seller walked him home. John had a long nap and when he woke up, the harsh pain in his tummy had gone. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Mark who was very sad. He had only ever gone to one place - the classroom. Every morning he would go to the classroom, learn about the world and see his friends. + +One day, Mark decided to try something different - he walked outside! He was so excited to see what was outside! As he went down the stairs, he heard a loud noise and he got so scared. + +He ran back up the stairs as fast as he could and asked his teacher what had happened. The teacher said that someone had shot someone in the park across the street. Mark was filled with fearful thoughts and he felt so scared. + +The moral of the story is to never be too curious. Being curious can sometimes lead to dangerous situations! +Once upon a time there was Brown Hare who had a mustache. He was always happy except for this one day when he felt very sad. + +He was walking in the forest and he saw a river. He decided he would try to swim across it. But it was so cold and it was too far. He tried again and again but he couldn't make it. + +Then a big Wolf walked up to him. The Wolf had a huge mustache and it made the Wolf look scary. "I will help you, hare," said the Wolf. + +The Wolf swam across the river and helped the hare to climb onto his back. The Wolf pretended to be nice, but he was lying. He swam faster and faster across the river and then they were back on the other side. + +The Wolf wouldn't let go of the hare. He said, "I'm going to eat you!" The hare was very scared and he tried to escape, but the Wolf was too strong.

She felt so safe and warm that she went right to sleep. The butterflies on the cover watched over her as she slept so she had a very good sleep. +Once upon a time four friends, Mimi, Lulu, Jack and Tom, were playing together in the park. The friends quickly noticed a big box of cool gear which someone had left by the swings. + +"Let's take it home and open it," said Jack. + +"Yes! Let's get it," agreed Lulu. + +The four quickly grabbed the box of gear and ran back home. When they opened it, their eyes lit up! The box contained lots of cool toys.

"These toys are cheap." + +Tom felt bad for his friends, so he decided to do something special. He ran to the store and bought the friends some new gear. This time it was the real good stuff! Tom was so happy to spoil his friends that he didn't even care how much it cost him. + +The four friends kept playing until their parents called them in. It had been a fun day, and they all agreed that Tom was the best for spoiling them the way he did. +Once upon a time there were two sisters named Ann and Lucy. They both loved to play together and have fun outdoors. + +One day, Ann saw something very impressive in the park. It was a big pink bicycle! She asked Lucy, “Can we ride it, please?†+ +Lucy was hesitant at first, but the temptation was too great. She agreed and the two sisters got on the bicycle. They rode around and around the park, having the time of their lives. + +But disaster struck when they crashed the bicycle into a dictionary in the park! Suddenly, what had seemed like so much fun was now a huge mess. The dictionary was ruined and both sisters were sad. + +Then, Ann said to Lucy, “We should have been careful and not been so reckless! Now, next time we want to ride the bicycle, let’s be responsible and think about our actions.†+ +The sisters learned an important lesson that day. It’s important to think before we act and be responsible for our actions, no matter how much fun it might seem! +Jane was a three-year-old girl who loved to ride her red scooter. She zoomed around the park every day, feeling free and happy. One day she asked her parents to buy her a dog. They said she couldn't have one, so Jane started to cry. + +Then an old man came up to her. "What happened?" he asked. Jane told him her sad story. The old man said, "Don't worry. I know a lawyer who can help you." + +The next day, the old man and Jane went off to the lawyer's office. The lawyer looked through some papers and said, "I'm sorry, but it's against the law to store a dog in the park." + +Jane was disappointed, but the old man said, "Don't worry. I know someone who can provide you with a dog. He's not available right now, but he'll come back soon." + +So Jane waited and waited. Finally, one day the old man came back with a little, fluffy puppy! Jane was so excited and she hugged her new best friend. From that day, they were always together! +Once there was a frog who loved to hop. One day he saw something very different - a glowing bulb on the ground. He hopped over to take a closer look. + +"What is this thing?" he asked a passing bee. + +"That is a light bulb," said the bee. "It can make things light up." + +The frog was very curious, he wanted to try it out! He hopped over and touched the bulb with his foot. It lit up brightly, causing him to leap back in surprise. + +But the light bulb wouldn't switch off! He hopped around it, trying every way he could think of to make the light go away. But nothing worked. + +Finally, he decided to ask for help. He hopped to the nearest flower and asked the butterfly sitting there if she knew what to do. + +The butterfly told him to flick the switch on and off a few times, and that should make it stop glowing. + +The frog followed her advice and soon the bulb stopped lighting up. He was relieved and very pleased with himself for solving the problem. From that day onwards, he taught all of his frog friends about the power of the different light bulb. +Once there was an otter who was very curious. She would often explore the river bank, looking for interesting things. + +One day, she saw something strange. It was a big round red fruit that smelled sweet. She decided to try it and took a big bite. + +The otter liked it so much that she ate the whole thing. She smacked her lips together and said, "Yum - that was delicious!" + +Suddenly, she heard a voice behind her. It was a bird and it was looking at her curiously. "What are you eating?" it asked. + +The otter smiled and said, "I just ate what I think is a berry. It was really good. Do you want to try one too?" + +The bird shook its head. "No thanks," it said, "Berries are not something birds usually eat." + +The otter smiled and said, "That's ok. It was very good. Let's go explore the river together and see what else we can find." + +And off they went, happily exploring and eating their way through the riverbank. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy called Tim. He was just three years old and was curious about everything around him. + +One day, he was playing in the garden when he got an idea. Tim wanted to explore another part of the garden, but he didn't have a key. + +He asked his mum, "Mummy can I go explore?" She replied, "Where do you want to go, Tim?" + +Tim said, "To the other side of the garden. I need the key to go there." + +His mum went to the cupboard and found a key. She said to Tim, "You must promise me not to go there without me, okay?" Tim nodded and said, "I promise." + +Tim rushed to the other side of the garden with the key. He unlocked the gate and when he looked inside, it was empty! + +Tim was disappointed but he was also excited to explore further. He couldn't wait to find out what he could discover the next day. + +The end. +There were two friends, Doug and Sam. They were discussing an oven they found. + +Doug said, “It looks ancient!†+ +Sam nodded. “It can’t be used. Look how old it is!†+ +The two friends didn’t know what to do with the ancient oven they found. They talked and talked until they decided what to do with it. + +Doug said, “Let’s put it in our playhouse!†+ +Sam shouted, “Good idea! That’s what we’ll do!†+ +So the two friends put the ancient oven in their playhouse and had lots of fun playing with it. They were very happy with their decision. +Once upon a time there was a little man. He was walking along the street when he noticed an empty scarf. He thought he should pick it up, so he did. As he went to pick up the scarf, he suffered a nasty cut on his finger. He felt so sad. + +The little man decided to wear the scarf to cover up his cut, but it didn't help much. He still felt very sad. He decided to go home and show his mum his cut. But as he arrived at home, his mum paid no attention to him. + +Sadly, the little man had to suffer with the cut on his finger forever. The empty scarf was no help at all. His mum never bothered to check his injury and he wasn't able to get it treated. So the little man is left with a painful scar for the rest of his life. +Once upon a time there was a very small house. It stood in a field next to a big structure. Every day, the house stayed in the same spot and stayed for a long time. + +Inside the house, a family of three lived in regular harmony. There was a Mom, a Dad and a little girl. Every morning, the Mom and the Dad got up and went to work. The little girl stayed at home by herself. + +One day the Mom and Dad went to the big structure. They very kindly said to the little girl, "Don't worry sweetheart, we won't be too long". So the little girl sat outside the house, and stayed in the same spot. + +After a while, Mom and Dad came back and said, "Now it's time to go home, we must stay in a regular routine". So they carefully held the little girl's hand and walked happily back home together. They stayed together and looked forward to the next day. +Once upon a time there was a polar bear who was feeling very hot, even though it was snowing outside. He wanted to cool off, so he built an igloo from snow and ice. He filled it with water and then jumped in and started to soak. + +Then a crazy little seal came along and saw him. The seal said, “Hey, why are you sitting in the water? You’re crazy!†+ +The polar bear laughed and said, “I’m not crazy, I just want to stay cool. Why don’t you jump in and soak with me?†+ +So the seal did and they both had a great time playing in the water. After a while, the polar bear said thank you to the seal and then said goodbye. + +The seal smiled, waved and then went away, but the polar bear stayed in his igloo soaking and having fun… all day! +One day, Ella and her mommy went to a hill. Ella looked around and felt so happy. Then she noticed the sunshine could not reach the top of the hill. It was dark and Ella was scared. + +Ella's mommy said, "Don't be scared, Ella. We can learn together and find a way to make the hill less dark." + +So they began looking for something to make the hill brighter. They looked for a long time and finally found some light. + +But when they put the light on the hill, it made everything on the hill so shiny and bright that Ella's mommy needed to leave because it was too bright. + +Ella felt so sad that she was left alone on the hill. She cried and cried and was never able to learn how to make a hill less dark. She was left alone and in the dark. +Once upon a time, there was a small boy named Ben. One day, Ben wanted to get something to eat. He walked up to the fridge and opened it. Inside, he found a big plate. He looked at it and noticed it had something round, red and squishy on it. He thought it must be food. + +Excited, he wanted to have a taste. He reached out to pick it up but it was too high so he couldn't reach it. + +Suddenly, he heard a voice. It was his mom. She said, "Ben, why don't you open the cupboard to see if there's something you can stand on?" + +Ben did as his mom said. He opened the cupboard and found a rough tray inside. He put it down in front of the plate and stood on it. Now he could reach the plate and the food! + +He grabbed the plate, took it to the table and started to eat. + +And that's how Ben ate his delicious red, squishy food! +Once upon a time there was a little boy who could see things that nobody else could. He saw that the sky was filled with fluffy white clouds. Every day he would take his basket and go outside. + +The little boy was very curious and he had a plan. He wanted to feed these magical clouds. He slowly waved his arms and tried to give them food from his basket. "Will these clouds be useful?" the little boy thought to himself. + +Suddenly one of the clouds talked to the little boy and answered his question, "Yes! I am very hungry and I need some food. Please, feed me!" + +The little boy was so surprised! He gladly gave the cloud some food from his basket. After the cloud ate all the food, it thanked the little boy and flew away. + +Seeing this, the little boy smiled and continued to feed the other clouds until his basket was empty. He then happily returned to his house knowing that he had used his basket to help someone in the sky. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Jackie. She was three years old and enjoyed going to school. One day, when Jackie was at school, she asked her teacher if she could borrow an eraser.

She asked them: "Why are you teasing my daughter? What will she learn from this?" + +The boys then looked down in shame and said, "We were just being envious of her because she seemed to be so happy." + +The little girl's mother then said, "You will never find happiness by teasing other people and making them feel bad. How do you think teasing makes the other person feel?" + +The boys replied, "It just makes them feel like their not good enough." + +The little girl's mother smiled and said, "That's right. You can learn to be happy and make others happy by being kind, not by being envious and teasing them. That's a much better way to live your life." + +The boys felt embarrassed and learned their lesson. From then on, they stopped teasing and started to be kind to one another.

Jill was not so sure but her mom said she should give it a try. + +Jill said, "But I'm not sleepy." Her mom replied, "You don't need to be sleepy to take a nap.

Joe wanted to cross a big bridge one day but he could not do it by himself. Jack offered to help him and said, "I will be your bridge." + +Jack carried Joe to the other side of the bridge. Joe was so thankful for his friend's help. + +On the way back, Jack said, "When you are in need of help, don't hesitate to ask your friends. They can be like a bridge and they can help you cross heavy things." + +Joe learned a valuable lesson that day. He thanked Jack for being his bridge and said, "Friends are like bridges and can help each other cross heavy things in life." +The sun was up in the sky, and it shone brightly down on the town. Inside, a jolly old man was busy at work. He was fixing a big old machine with a lot of tools. + +"What are you doing," a little girl asked him. + +The old man looked up with a smile and said, "I'm repairing this old machine. It's been out of order for a while!" + +The little girl watched as he worked.

The little boy looked up with a curious smile and said, "Can I cover you too?" The chicken chuckled and replied, "Sure, if you'd like to!" + +So the little boy gathered some more leaves, and carefully covered the strong chicken until he was all nestled in. When he was done, the chicken thanked the little boy for his kindness and said, "That was very kind of you. Now I can rest peacefully." The little boy smiled and said, "You're welcome, chicken.

Her mom said, "Isn't it pretty?" Anna nodded and smiled. + +Finally, Anna showed her friend the fake pumpkin. Her friend said, "Wow, it's so cool!" Anna was very proud and happy.

So he took a deep breath, and slowly walked closer. + +Soon he was standing in front of the kangaroo. John felt very brave. He slowly reached out his hand and touched the kangaroo. The kangaroo just looked at him. + +John was happy. He had done something that he had not done before. He had dared. +Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who lived in a castle far away.

Timmy said in excitement, pointing with one finger. + +"That's right! It's getting bigger and bigger, because it's getting closer and closer to us," his dad said. Timmy smiled and watched as the orange aeroplane began to fly away, shrinking as it went. "It's getting smaller now," he said. + +"Yes, it's getting smaller, because it's getting further away from us," said his dad. "When something gets closer to us, it increases in size. When something gets further away, it decreases in size." + +Timmy nodded. "I understand!" He said. He smiled as he watched the orange aeroplane disappear into the sky. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Martha who lived on a ranch with her family.

I will write only on things that cannot feel hurt." + +And that is the moral of the story: always be kind and never do anything that could hurt other living beings. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Lila who wanted to try a race.
