It has many animals. But they are all dangerous. We cannot play with them," Lily says. + +The lady laughs. "Don't worry, children. These are only pictures. They are not real animals. You can enjoy the book, but you cannot hurt the animals or the animals hurt you. They are in their homes, far away from here. Do you want to learn more about them?" she says. + +Lily and Tom nod. They are happy. The lady sits with them and tells them stories about the animals. She teaches them their names and sounds and what they eat and do. Lily and Tom enjoy the book and the lady.

One day, her mom said they had to go to the park and meet some new friends. Lila felt scared and did not want to go. + +"Come on, Lila, it will be fun. You can bring your dolls and show them to the other kids. Maybe you will find someone who likes to draw too." Mom said. + +Lila shook her head and hugged her dolls. She did not want to leave her room. Mom sighed and picked up Lila and her dolls. She put them in the car and drove to the park. + +At the park, there were many kids playing on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. Mom saw a woman with a boy who looked about Lila's age.

We come to the park every day. Ben likes to play with cars and trucks. What does Lila like to play with?" Mia said. + +Lila hid behind Mom and did not say anything. She held her dolls tightly and looked at the ground. Ben looked at Lila and saw her dolls. He liked dolls too, but he was shy to say it. + +"Can I see your dolls?" Ben asked softly. + +Lila looked up and saw Ben's friendly eyes. She felt a little less scared. She nodded and removed one of her dolls from her arms. She handed it to Ben. + +"Her name is Rose. She is my favorite. She has a pink dress and a hat." Lila said. + +Ben smiled and took the doll. He removed the hat and looked at the doll's hair. + +"She is very pretty. I have a doll too. His name is Max. He has a blue shirt and a cap." Ben said. + +He reached into his backpack and took out his doll. He showed it to Lila. + +"Can we trade dolls for a while?"

One day, she decided to make a cake for her dolls as a surprise. She asked her mom for some flour, sugar, eggs and milk, and went to the kitchen. + +She put the ingredients in a big bowl and started to stir them with a spoon. She stirred and stirred until the batter was smooth and creamy. She poured the batter into a small pan and asked her mom to put it in the oven. She was very excited to see how her cake would turn out. + +While the cake was baking, she heard a knock on the door. It was her friend Lily, who came to play with her. Anna invited her in and showed her her dolls and their clothes. Lily liked Anna's fashion sense and complimented her on her dolls. Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. Do you want to see something else? I made a cake for my dolls. It's in the oven right now. Do you want to share it with me?" + +Lily nodded eagerly and followed Anna to the kitchen. Anna's mom took the cake out of the oven and put it on a plate. It smelled delicious and looked golden and fluffy.

You are very compassionate and nice." Lily hugged her back and said, "You are a good friend, too, Anna. I like playing with you, too. You are very creative and generous." They smiled and continued to play with their dolls and their cake. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard with their ball. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes the ball would bounce high and far. Lily and Ben would laugh and run after it. + +One time, the ball bounced too high and too far. It went over the fence and into the street. Lily and Ben stopped and looked at the fence. They could not see the ball. They were sad and scared. + +"Where is our ball?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a car took it." Ben said. + +They heard a honk from the street. They saw a bright red car stop near the fence. A man got out of the car. He had their ball in his hand.

They had fun and stayed safe. +Lily was a gifted girl who loved to draw. She had many crayons and papers to make beautiful pictures. She liked to draw animals, flowers, and stars. Sometimes she gave her pictures to her friends and family as gifts. + +One day, her teacher told the class that there was a drawing contest. The winner would get a leather book to keep their drawings in. Lily wanted to win the leather book very much. She thought it would be a nice place to store her pictures.

You have used many colors and details. You are a gifted artist. Here is your leather book. Congratulations!" + +Lily was very happy. She thanked her teacher and hugged her drawing. She felt the leather book in her hands and smiled. She opened it and saw many blank pages. She thought of all the pictures she could draw and put in her book. She was excited to start. She said, "This is the best prize ever!" +Lily was a spoiled girl who always wanted new toys. She did not like to share with her brother Tom or her friends. She cried and screamed when she did not get what she wanted. + +One day, Lily saw a shiny needle on the table. She wanted to play with it. She did not know that it was very sharp and could hurt her. She grabbed the needle and ran to her room. + +Tom saw Lily with the needle and followed her. He knew that the needle was dangerous and tried to take it from her. He said, "Lily, give me the needle. It is not a toy. You can poke yourself and bleed." + +Lily did not listen to Tom. She said, "No, it is mine. Go away. You are a mean brother. I hate you." She set the needle on her bed and turned away from Tom. + +Tom reached for the needle, but Lily saw him and pushed him. Tom fell on the bed and the needle poked his eye. He screamed in pain and blood came out of his eye. Lily was scared and ran out of the room. + +Mom and Dad heard the scream and ran to the room. They saw Tom on the bed with the needle in his eye. They were shocked and angry. They called the doctor and took Tom to the hospital. + +Lily was in trouble. She had hurt her brother and spoiled his eye. She felt sorry and sad, but it was too late. She wished she had listened to Tom and shared the needle. She learned a hard lesson. +Tom and Ann like to drive with Dad. Dad has a big car that can go fast and make loud noises. Sometimes they drive to the farm, where they can see many animals. Tom and Ann love the animals, especially the sheep. + +One day, they drove to the farm and saw something strange. There was a sheep in the car of the farmer. The sheep was sitting in the front seat, wearing a hat and sunglasses. The farmer was smiling and waving at them. + +"Hello, Dad, hello, Tom, hello, Ann!" the farmer said. "Do you like my sheep? His name is Bob. He is my friend. He likes to drive with me." + +Tom and Ann were very surprised. They had never seen a sheep in a car before. They looked at Dad, who was also surprised. He did not know what to say. + +"Why is there a sheep in your car?" Tom asked. "Sheep do not drive. Sheep eat grass and make wool. Sheep are normal animals, not car animals." + +The farmer laughed. He liked to make jokes. He thought Bob was very funny. + +"Bob is a special sheep," he said. "He does not like grass and wool. He likes music and snacks. He likes to drive and see new things. He is not a normal sheep, he is a smart sheep." + +Tom and Ann did not know if the farmer was telling the truth or not. They wanted to see Bob more closely. They asked Dad if they could go to the car and say hello to Bob. + +Dad agreed. He was curious too. He parked the car and got out with Tom and Ann. They walked to the farmer's car and looked at Bob. Bob looked back at them. He baaed softly and nodded his head. + +"Hello, Bob," Tom and Ann said. "You are a very strange sheep. But you are also very cute. Can we pet you?" + +Bob baaed again and moved his head closer to them. He let them touch his wool and his hat. He seemed to like them. He also liked the music that was playing in the car. He tapped his hoof to the beat. + +Tom and Ann smiled. They liked Bob too. He was a very strange sheep, but he was also a very fun sheep. They decided that driving with a sheep was not so bad after all. They thanked the farmer and said goodbye to Bob. They got back in the car with Dad and drove away. They waved at Bob, who waved back with his hoof. They had a very good day at the farm. +Anna liked to make things with yarn and a needle. She learned from her grandma how to make hats and scarves and dolls. She wanted to make a gift for her friend Ben, who was sick and had to stay in bed. She thought a doll would make him happy. + +She found some blue yarn and a needle and started to make the doll. She made the head and the body and the arms and the legs. But when she tried to make the face, she had a problem. She did not know how to make the eyes and the nose and the mouth. She tried to make them with the needle, but they looked funny and not like a real face. She struggled to make them better, but she only made them worse. She felt sad and frustrated. + +She decided to ask her grandma for help. She ran to her room and showed her the doll. Grandma was very thoughtful and kind. She looked at the doll and smiled. She said, "Anna, you did a very good job with the doll. It is very cute and soft. But I can see you had some trouble with the face. Do you want me to show you how to make it better?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, please, grandma. I want to make the face look nice for Ben. He is my friend and I want him to like the doll." + +Grandma hugged Anna and said, "Of course, my dear. Come, let me show you how to use the needle and some buttons and some thread to make the face. It is not hard, you just need to be careful and patient. And I am sure Ben will love the doll and your gift." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma. You are the best. I love you." + +They went to the table and grandma showed Anna how to make the face. Anna followed her instructions and soon the doll had two bright eyes, a small nose and a happy mouth. Anna was very proud and happy. She thanked grandma again and ran to her room. She wrapped the doll in a nice paper and wrote a card for Ben. She hoped he would get well soon and play with her and the doll. She was a good friend and a good maker. +Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom with the laundry. She liked to put the dirty clothes in the big basket, and then push the basket to the washing machine. She liked to watch the clothes spin and splash in the water, and then smell the clean clothes when they came out. + +But Lily did not like to fold the laundry. She thought it was boring and hard. She wanted to play with her toys or read her books instead. She was stubborn and did not listen to her mom when she asked her to help. + +One day, Lily's mom had a lot of laundry to do. She washed and dried many clothes, and then put them on the bed. She asked Lily to come and help her fold them. But Lily said no. She said she was busy playing with her dolls. She said she would do it later. + +Lily's mom was tired and sad. She needed Lily's help. She told Lily that if she did not help, she would not get a cookie after dinner. She told Lily that folding laundry was fun and easy. She showed Lily how to make neat piles of shirts, pants, socks, and underwear. + +But Lily still said no. She was very stubborn. She did not care about the cookie. She did not think folding laundry was fun or easy. She turned away from her mom and kept playing with her dolls. + +Lily's mom sighed and folded the laundry by herself. She put the clothes in the drawers and closets. She was very busy and did not have time to play with Lily. She was also very angry and did not talk to Lily. + +Lily felt lonely and sorry. She saw that her mom was unhappy.

They laughed and had fun. Sara said, "You are incredible, Mia. You are so good at making snow things." + +Mia smiled and said, "Thank you, mama. You are incredible too. Can we make a snow castle?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, let's make a snow castle. We can pretend we are princesses." + +They started to pile up snow and shape it into walls and towers. They found sticks and stones and pine cones to decorate their castle. They were very happy. + +But then, a big storm came. The wind blew hard and the snow fell fast. Sara and Mia could not see anything. They were scared. They tried to find their way back to their house, but they got lost. They shouted for help, but no one heard them. They were very cold. They hugged each other and said, "I love you, mama. I love you, Mia." + +They did not know that the storm was very bad. It lasted for a long time. It covered everything with snow. It froze everything. It froze Sara and Mia too. They did not wake up. They did not play anymore. They stayed in their snow castle forever. +Tom is a cat with a blue tail.

The mouse runs under the sofa, where Tom cannot go. + +Tom waits for the mouse to come out. He thinks of a plan to solve his problem. He decides to use his tail as a trap. He puts his tail near the sofa and makes it move like a snake. He hopes the mouse will think his tail is a snake and be scared. + +The mouse sees the tail and is curious. He does not know it is Tom's tail. He thinks it is a toy or a friend. He comes out of the sofa and goes to the tail. He sniffs the tail and touches it with his nose. The tail feels soft and warm. The mouse likes the tail. + +Tom sees the mouse and is happy. He thinks he has solved his problem. He jumps out and tries to catch the mouse. But he makes a mistake. He grabs his own tail instead of the mouse. He bites his tail hard and it hurts a lot. He lets go of his tail and cries out loud. + +The mouse hears Tom's cry and is scared. He thinks Tom is angry and wants to hurt him. He runs away from Tom and finds another place to hide. He is safe and happy. Tom is sad and hurt. He has a sore tail and no mouse. He has not solved his problem. He has made it worse. He wishes he had not played with his tail. He has a bad ending. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and shiny. It has a name on it. The name is Sam. + +"Who is Sam?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe he is a distant friend. Maybe he lives far away." + +"Maybe he is sad," Anna says. "Maybe he lost his balloon." + +"Maybe we can find him," Ben says. "Maybe we can give him his balloon back." + +They run after the balloon. They try to catch it. But the balloon is too high. It flies over the trees and the houses. It goes to the other side of the park. + +"Wait, Sam!" Anna shouts. "We want to help you!" + +But the balloon does not hear her. It goes away. It becomes smaller and smaller. It disappears in the sky. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They sit on the grass. They look at the sky. + +"Maybe Sam is happy," Ben says. "Maybe he has other balloons. Maybe he likes to share them." + +"Maybe," Anna says. "But I wish we could wear his name.

"Why did the dog do that?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it was scared or angry. We should have been more careful." + +They saw the owner coming. He looked angry too. He shouted at them. + +"Hey, what are you doing? That's my dog! You shouldn't touch him without asking! He's not friendly to strangers!" + +He took the dog and left. Sara and Tom felt sorry and scared. They ran to their parents and told them what happened. Their parents took Sara to the doctor. She had to get a bandage and a shot. She was very brave. + +Sara and Tom learned a lesson. They learned to remember to ask before touching animals. They learned to respect their side and the side of others.

They found a big stick and took turns to swing it and hit things. Tom wanted to hit a big rock, but Sam said no.

You can share and play nicely." + +"But Mom, I need this block for my tower!" Anna says. + +"And I need this block for my car!" Ben says. + +Mom looks at the block. It is a red block. It is a fine block. But it is not a special block. There are many other blocks like it. + +"Look, Anna and Ben," Mom says. She points to the window. "Do you see the sky? It is blue. Do you see the trees? They are green. Do you see the birds? They are yellow and red and brown. They are all different colors. But they are all fine. They are all beautiful. They can all live together in harmony. Can you be like the sky, the trees and the birds? Can you be fine with different colors? Can you live together in harmony?" + +Anna and Ben look at the window. They see the sky, the trees and the birds. They are all fine. They are all beautiful. They think about what Mom says. They feel sorry for fighting. + +"Sorry, Ben," Anna says. She gives the block to Ben. "You can have this block for your car. I can use another block for my tower." + +"Sorry, Anna," Ben says. He gives the block back to Anna.

She gives them a kiss. She says, "That's my good twins. I love you both. Now, let me see your tower and your car." +Anna liked to look at tiny things with her microscope. She had a book with pictures of bugs and plants and cells that she could see with her microscope. She wanted to show her friend Ben what she found. + +She invited Ben to her house after school. She took him to her room and showed him her microscope. She said, "Look, this is a hair. It has scales like a fish. And this is a leaf. It has veins like a hand." + +Ben looked at the microscope, but he did not seem interested. He said, "That's boring. I want to play with your toys. Where are your cars and dolls?" + +Anna felt sad. She liked her toys, but she liked her microscope more. She said, "But this is fun. You can see things you can't see with your eyes. Don't you want to learn something new?" + +Ben shrugged. He did not care about learning. He said, "No, I don't. I want to play. Come on, let's go to the living room." + +Anna did not want to go. She wanted to stay with her microscope. She said, "No, you go. I want to look at more things." + +Ben got angry. He said, "Fine, then. You're a nerd. You're no fun. I don't want to be your friend anymore." He stomped out of the room and slammed the door. + +Anna felt very sad. She did not understand why Ben was so mean. She liked him, but he did not like her microscope. She wished she had a friend who liked to look at tiny things with her. She wondered if there was anyone else who shared her hobby. + +She did not know that in the next room, there was a boy who was very curious about the microscope. He had heard Anna and Ben talking, and he wanted to see what they were looking at. He was Anna's brother, Sam. He knocked on the door and said, "Hi, Anna. Can I see your microscope?" +Mia and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big car with shiny wheels and a nice lady inside. The lady smiled and waved at them. She said, "Hello, children. Do you want to see my car? It's a luxury car. It has a lot of cool things inside." + +Mia and Ben were curious and ran to the car. The lady opened the door and showed them the seats, the radio, the lights, and the snacks. She said, "You can sit here and listen to music and eat some cookies. Do you like it?" + +Mia nodded and said, "Yes, it's very pretty and cozy. Thank you, lady." She climbed into the car and took a cookie. + +Ben shook his head and said, "No, thank you, lady. I don't want to go in the car. I want to play in the park." He stayed outside and looked around. + +The lady frowned and said, "Oh, come on, Ben. Don't be shy. It's fun in the car. You can have a luxury ride with me. I'll take you to a special place." + +Ben felt anxious and said, "No, thank you, lady. I don't know you. I want to stay with Mia and play in the park." He grabbed Mia's hand and tried to pull her out of the car. + +The lady got angry and said, "Fine, then. You're both rude and ungrateful. You don't deserve my luxury car. Go away and play in the dirt." She slammed the door and drove away fast. + +Mia and Ben were scared and confused. They ran back to the park and hugged each other. They saw a man in a uniform who was looking for them. He said, "Hello, children. I'm a police officer. I'm here to help you. Did you see a lady in a big car?" + +Mia and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, we saw her. She was mean and tried to take us away." + +The police officer said, "That's what I thought. She's a bad lady who steals children. I've been looking for her for a long time. You're lucky you didn't go with her. She would have hurt you." + +Mia and Ben felt relieved and said, "Thank you, officer. You're a good man. You saved us." + +The police officer said, "You're welcome, children. You're very brave and smart. You did the right thing by saying no and staying together. Always remember to be careful and never talk to strangers." + +Mia and Ben said, "We will, officer. We will." They hugged the officer and thanked him again. Then they went to play in the park and forgot about the bad lady and the luxury car. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. Lily saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. She ran to the hill and started to go up. + +"Wait for me, Lily!" Ben shouted. He ran after her, but he was not as fast. He stumbled on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and his face. He cried out loud. + +Lily heard Ben and looked back. She saw him on the ground, with blood on his face and his knee. She felt sorry for him and ran down the hill to help him. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked. She gave him a hug and wiped his face with her sleeve. + +"No, I'm not okay," Ben said. "It hurts a lot. And you left me behind. You are too stubborn, Lily. You always want to do things your way." + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to leave Ben behind. She just wanted to have fun. She said sorry to Ben and gave him another hug. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to be stubborn. I just wanted to climb the hill. But you are my friend and I don't want you to be hurt. Do you want to go to the nurse and get a band-aid?" + +Ben nodded. He was still sad, but he felt better with Lily's hug. He took her hand and they walked to the nurse together. They learned to be more careful and to stay together. They were still friends. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the yard. Tim has a big jeep that can make noise and move. Sam has a small jeep that is quiet and still. + +One day, Tim says to Sam, "I want to play with your jeep. It is shiny and new. Give it to me." + +Sam says, "No, this is my jeep. You have your own jeep. Go away." + +Tim is angry. He tries to grab Sam's jeep, but Sam holds it tight. They pull and push and shout. + +Mom hears them and comes out. She sees them fighting over the jeep. She says, "Stop it, both of you. You need to share and be nice. Why don't you take turns to play with the jeep?" + +Tim says, "But I want to play with it now. It is better than mine." + +Sam says, "But it is mine. I got it for my birthday. He has his own jeep." + +Mom says, "I know, but you can both enjoy the jeep. How about this: Tim, you can watch Sam play with his jeep for five minutes, and then Sam, you can watch Tim play with his jeep for five minutes. That way, you can both have fun and learn from each other." + +Tim and Sam think about it. They don't like the idea, but they don't want to make Mom mad. They agree to try it. + +Mom smiles and says, "Good. Now, let's go to the yard and watch the jeep together." She takes them by the hand and leads them to the yard. + +Tim and Sam watch each other play with the jeep. They see how the jeep can do different things and make different sounds. They start to talk and laugh and compliment each other. They realize that the jeep is more fun when they share it and play together. + +Mom watches them and feels happy. She thinks they are good brothers and persistent learners. She hopes they will always be like that. +Mira and Rani were sisters who lived in a hut with their mama and papa. Mira was older and liked to help with chores, but Rani was spoiled and only wanted to play. One day, mama asked them to wipe the dishes after she washed them. + +"Come on, Rani, let's wipe the dishes," Mira said. + +"No, I don't want to. I want to play with my doll," Rani said. + +"But mama asked us to help. It's not fair if I do all the work," Mira said. + +"I don't care. You do it. I'm going outside," Rani said. She ran out of the hut with her doll. + +Mira sighed and wiped the dishes by herself. She wished Rani would be more nice and helpful. She finished the dishes and put them away. Then she went outside to look for Rani. + +She saw Rani sitting under a tree, playing with her doll. She also saw a big, black cloud in the sky. It looked like a storm was coming. + +"Rani, Rani, come inside. It's going to rain," Mira called. + +"No, I don't want to. I want to play with my doll," Rani said. + +"But it's going to rain. You'll get wet and cold. And your doll will get ruined," Mira said. + +"I don't care. You go inside. I'm staying here," Rani said. + +Mira shook her head and ran back to the hut. She hoped Rani would change her mind and come inside. She didn't want her sister to get hurt. + +But Rani didn't listen. She kept playing with her doll under the tree. She didn't notice the wind getting stronger and the thunder getting louder. She didn't notice the raindrops falling on her head and her doll. She didn't notice the lightning flashing in the sky. + +She only noticed when a big, loud boom made her jump. She looked up and saw a bright, fiery spark on the tree. The tree was on fire. She screamed and dropped her doll. She ran away from the tree, but it was too late. The fire spread to her doll and burned it to ashes. + +She reached the hut, crying and wet. She saw Mira and mama and papa waiting for her. They hugged her and comforted her. They were glad she was safe. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Rani sobbed. "I was bad. I didn't help. I didn't listen. I lost my doll." + +"It's okay, Rani, it's okay," mama said. "We love you. We're happy you're here." + +"Me too, Rani, me too," Mira said. "I'm sorry your doll is gone. But I have something for you." + +She gave Rani a new doll. It was soft and pretty and had a smile on its face. + +"Thank you, Mira, thank you," Rani said. She hugged Mira and the doll. She felt sorry for being spoiled and mean. She wanted to be more nice and helpful. + +She learned a lesson that day. She learned to wipe the dishes, to listen to mama, and to love her sister. She learned that playing with a doll is fun, but not more important than family. She learned that sometimes, a storm can bring a rainbow. +Anna was hungry. She wanted to eat cereal for breakfast. She went to the kitchen and saw her brother Ben. Ben was eating cereal from a big bowl. He did not share with Anna. + +"Ben, can I have some cereal too?" Anna asked. She used a nice word. She made a request. + +"No, this is my cereal. Go away!" Ben said. He was mean. He did not want to share. + +Anna was sad. She looked for another bowl of cereal. She found one on the table. But the bowl was dirty. It had old milk and bugs in it. Anna was grossed out. She did not want to eat that cereal. + +"Mom, there is no clean cereal for me!" Anna cried. She was upset. She needed help. + +Mom heard Anna. She came to the kitchen. She saw Ben and his big bowl of cereal. She saw Anna and the dirty bowl of cereal. She was angry. + +"Ben, why did you not share your cereal with Anna? That is not nice. Sharing is caring. You should be kind to your sister." Mom said. She taught Ben a lesson. + +"Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Anna. I was selfish. You can have some of my cereal." Ben said. He felt sorry. He learned his mistake. + +"Thank you, Ben. That is very nice of you. I forgive you." Anna said. She was happy. She accepted Ben's offer. + +Mom smiled. She was proud. She gave Ben and Anna clean spoons. They ate their cereal together. They were friends. They enjoyed their breakfast. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big red vehicle. The vehicle can make noises and move fast. + +One day, Anna and Ben have a fight. Anna wants to play with the vehicle, but Ben does not want to share. He says, "It is mine! Go away!" He pushes Anna and takes the vehicle. Anna falls down and hurts her knee. She starts to cry. + +Mom hears Anna cry and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Ben with the vehicle and Anna on the floor. She is angry and sad. She says, "Ben, why did you do that? You should share with your sister. She is your friend. Sharing is good. Hurting is bad." + +Ben feels sorry. He sees Anna's tears and her knee. He says, "I am sorry, Anna. I was mean. You can play with the vehicle. I will help you get up." He gives Anna the vehicle and hugs her. Anna stops crying and smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. You are my friend." + +Mom is happy and proud. She says, "That is very nice, Ben and Anna. You are good twins. You are healthy and strong. You can play with the vehicle together. But be careful and gentle. And remember to share and care." She kisses them and gives them a cookie. They say, "We love you, Mom." They play with the vehicle and have fun. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they see a small car on the floor. It is red and shiny. Lily wants the car. She runs to it and picks it up. + +"Look, Ben, I have a car!" she says. + +Ben is sad. He likes the car too. He thinks it is his car. He left it on the floor before. He walks to Lily and tries to take the car. + +"Give me my car, Lily!" he says. + +"No, it is my car!" Lily says. She holds the car tight. + +They pull the car. They are angry. They shout. They do not share. + +Then, a big dog comes. It sees the car. It thinks it is a bone. It is hungry. It sneaks to Lily and Ben. It steals the car from them. It runs away. + +Lily and Ben are shocked. They look at the dog. They look at each other. They have no car. They are sad. + +They cry. They hug. They say sorry. + +They go to find another toy. They play together. They share. They are happy. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they want to meet at the big slide. Tim gets there first. He sees the park is empty. He thinks, "Where is Sam? Maybe he is late." + +He waits and waits. He feels sad and bored. He hears a loud noise. He looks up. He sees a big truck. The truck is coming to the park. It has a big claw. The claw grabs the big slide. Tim is scared. He runs away. + +He runs to Sam's house. He knocks on the door. He hopes Sam is there. He wants to tell him what happened. He wants to hug him. He wants to play with him. + +But no one opens the door. The door has a sign. The sign says, "We moved. Goodbye." Tim reads the sign. He does not understand. He feels confused and angry. He cries and cries. He has no friend. He has no slide. He has no fun. Today is a bad day. +Tim and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. Tim had a big bear that he liked to hug and talk to. Mia had a small bear that she liked to dress up and fold in a blanket. They were having fun until Tim saw Mia's bear. + +"Hey, that's my bear!" Tim shouted. He ran to Mia and tried to grab her bear. + +"No, it's mine!" Mia said. She held her bear tight and pulled it away from Tim. + +They both tugged on the bear and made it angry. The bear growled and bit Tim's hand. Tim let go of the bear and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The bear bit me!" Tim sobbed. He ran to his mom and showed her his hand. + +Mia felt sorry for Tim. She knew he liked bears too. She folded her bear in the blanket and walked to Tim. + +"I'm sorry, Tim. I didn't mean to make you and the bear angry. Here, you can have my bear. He's nice and warm." Mia said. She gave her bear to Tim. + +Tim looked at Mia and her bear. He saw that she was being kind. He stopped crying and smiled. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are a good sister. I'm sorry I tried to take your bear. He's very cute. Can we share him?" Tim said. He hugged Mia and her bear. + +Mia nodded and hugged Tim back. + +"Yes, we can share him. He's our bear. We can play with him together." Mia said. + +They both smiled and went back to the living room. They played with their bear and had fun. They were happy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also make snowballs and throw them at each other. They laugh and have fun. + +One day, they see a big hill with a lot of snow. They want to slide down the hill on their sleds. They think it will be very fast and exciting. They take their sleds and go to the top of the hill. + +"Are you ready, Sue?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, I am, Tom. Let's go!" Sue says. + +They sit on their sleds and push off. They go down the hill very fast. They feel the wind in their faces and the snow under their sleds. They see the trees and the rocks and the birds. They are happy. + +But then, they see something bad. There is a big hole in the snow. It is not snow, it is powder. It is very soft and deep. They cannot stop their sleds. They are going too fast. + +"Look out, Tom! There is a hole!" Sue screams. + +"Help, Sue! We are going to fall!" Tom cries. + +They try to steer their sleds away from the hole, but it is too late. They jump over the edge and fall into the powder. They sink and disappear. They cannot breathe. They cannot see. They cannot hear. They are scared and cold. + +Nobody sees them. Nobody hears them. Nobody helps them. They are gone. +Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park with their toys. But they do not like to share or listen to their mom. They always fight and make a mess. + +One day, mom says, "We are going to visit grandma in the land. You have to behave and be organized. Pack your toys in your bags and do not forget anything." + +Lila and Tom nod, but they do not do what mom says. They throw their toys in their bags and leave some on the floor. They do not check if they have everything. + +They get in the car and drive to the land. Grandma is happy to see them. She hugs them and gives them cookies. She says, "You can play in the yard, but be careful and do not go too far." + +Lila and Tom run to the yard. They see a big tree with a swing. They want to swing, but they do not want to take turns. They push and pull and yell. The swing breaks and they fall to the ground. They cry and have scratches and bruises. + +Mom and grandma hear them and come to the yard. They see the broken swing and the hurt twins. They are angry and sad. They say, "You did not behave and be organized. You did not pack your toys properly and you broke the swing. You have to go back to the car and stay there. No more cookies or fun for you." + +Lila and Tom are sorry, but it is too late. They have to go back to the car and sit there. They are bored and hungry and sore. They wish they had listened to mom and shared the swing. They have a bad day. +Anna was hungry. She wanted some soup. She saw a big pot of soup on the stove. She climbed on a chair to reach it. She was naughty. She did not ask her mom. + +The pot was hot. The soup was hot. Anna did not know. She grabbed the handle. She burned her hand. She let go of the handle. The pot tipped over. The soup spilled on the floor. Anna stumbled and fell. She cried. + +Mom heard Anna cry. She ran to the kitchen. She saw the mess. She saw Anna on the floor. She was angry. She was worried. She picked up Anna. She checked her hand. She said, "Anna, you are naughty. You should not touch the soup. It is hot. You could get hurt. You made a big mess. You need to say sorry." + +Anna was sad. She was sorry. She said, "Mom, I am sorry. I was hungry. I wanted some soup. I did not mean to spill it. I did not mean to burn my hand. I did not mean to make you angry. I love you." + +Mom hugged Anna. She said, "I love you too, Anna. I am glad you are sorry. I am glad you are not hurt badly. But you need to learn. You need to ask me before you touch anything in the kitchen. You need to be careful. You need to be good. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded. She said, "I understand, Mom. I will ask you. I will be careful. I will be good. Can I have some soup now?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can have some soup now. But only if you help me clean up the mess first." + +Anna agreed. She helped Mom clean up the mess. Then they had some soup together. It was warm. It was yummy. Anna was happy. Mom was happy. They said, "We love soup. We love each other." The end. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play together and share their toys. One day, their mom said, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the living room." + +Tom and Lily followed their mom. They saw a big box wrapped in shiny paper. It had a bow on top. "What is it, mom?" they asked. + +"It is a gift for you. You can open it together. It is from your grandma and grandpa. They love you very much," mom said. + +Tom and Lily tore the paper and opened the box. Inside, they found a wooden chest. It had pictures of animals and flowers on it. It was very pretty. They lifted the lid and saw many things inside. There were books, puzzles, crayons, stickers, and more. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom said. "Look, Lily, there is a book about dinosaurs. You like dinosaurs, right?" + +"Yes, I do. And look, Tom, there is a puzzle of a princess. You like princesses, right?" Lily said. + +They smiled at each other and hugged. They thanked their mom and said, "We love grandma and grandpa. They are very sweet. Can we call them and say thank you?" + +"Of course, you can. They are waiting for your call. They want to hear how you like your gift," mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the phone and dialed their grandparents' number. They told them how much they loved the chest and the things inside. They said they would play with them every day. Grandma and grandpa were very happy and proud. They said they loved Tom and Lily very much and wished them a good night. + +Tom and Lily put the phone down and went back to the living room. They opened the chest again and picked something to play with. They had a lot of fun and learned new things. They were very happy. They received a wonderful gift. +Lily liked to create things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of her family, her dog, and her toys. She also liked to create stories in her head and tell them to her mom and dad. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park in their van. Lily brought her crayons and paper with her. She saw a big tree with many leaves and a swing and a slide. She wanted to create a picture of the park. + +She took out her paper and crayons and started to draw. She used green for the grass and the leaves, blue for the sky, yellow for the sun, and brown for the tree trunk. She also drew a red swing and a purple slide. She was very happy with her picture. + +She showed it to her mom, who smiled and said, "What a beautiful picture, Lily! You are very creative!" Lily felt proud and hugged her mom. + +They had a mild picnic under the tree. They ate sandwiches, apples, and cookies. They drank juice and water. They talked and laughed and enjoyed the day. Lily was very happy. She loved to create and she loved her mom. +Anna likes spaghetti. She likes to eat it with cheese and sauce. She likes to make it wiggle on her fork. She likes to slurp it with her mouth. + +But today, Anna is not happy. She notices that her spaghetti is different. It is not flexible. It is hard and cold. It does not wiggle or slurp. It breaks when she tries to pick it up. + +Anna looks at her mom. Her mom is busy on the phone. She does not see Anna's spaghetti. Anna feels sad and angry. She wants her mom to make her new spaghetti. She wants her mom to play with her. + +Anna decides to do something. She takes her plate and throws it on the floor. The spaghetti and the sauce make a big mess. Anna yells, "I don't like this spaghetti! I want new spaghetti!" + +Her mom hears Anna's yell. She puts down the phone and runs to the kitchen. She sees the mess and Anna's face. She feels sorry and mad. She says, "Anna, why did you do that? That was not nice. You made a big mess. You wasted good food. You have to clean it up and say sorry." + +Anna feels bad. She knows she did something wrong. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I was mad. I didn't like the spaghetti. It was hard and cold." + +Her mom hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, too, Anna. I was busy. I forgot to heat up your spaghetti. I know you like it flexible and warm. Next time, tell me how you feel. Don't throw your food. OK?" + +Anna nods and says, "OK, mom. I love you." + +Her mom says, "I love you, too. Now let's clean up this mess and make some new spaghetti. How about that?" + +Anna smiles and says, "Yes, please. Can we put cheese and sauce on it?" + +Her mom says, "Of course. And maybe some meatballs, too. Do you like meatballs?" + +Anna says, "Yes, I do. They are yummy and round." + +Her mom says, "Then let's go. Come on, Anna. It's spaghetti time." +Sara and Tom are going to grandma's house. They are very happy. They want to pack their bags. Sara packs her doll and her book. Tom packs his car and his ball. They also pack some clothes and snacks. + +They go to the car with mom and dad. Mom drives the car. Dad plays music. Sara and Tom sing along. They like the music. It is loud and fun. They see many colors on the road. They see red, green, yellow, blue and more. They point and name the colors. + +They arrive at grandma's house. Grandma is waiting for them. She hugs and kisses them. She has a big smile. She takes them inside. She has a surprise for them. She has a box of crayons and a big paper. She says they can draw anything they want. Sara and Tom are very excited. They thank grandma. They choose their favorite colors. They start to draw. They have a lot of fun. They love grandma's house. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They run, swing, and climb. They have fun. + +One day, they see a new slide at the park. It is big and shiny. It has a thick rope to hold on to. Lily and Ben want to try it. + +Lily goes first. She climbs up the steps. She holds the rope. She slides down fast. She laughs. She likes the slide. + +Ben goes next. He climbs up the steps. He holds the rope. He slides down fast. He yells. He likes the slide too. + +They take turns sliding. They have more fun. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is Lily's mom. She calls them. She says it is time to go home. + +Lily and Ben answer. They say okay. They run to Lily's mom. They hug her. They say bye to each other. + +They promise to play again soon. They wave. They smile. They are happy. +Ben and Mia liked to play near the old mill. The mill had a big wheel that turned the water. The water was thick and brown. It was not good to drink or swim in. + +One day, they saw a man near the mill. He had a big truck and a hose. He was cleaning the water. + +"Hello, what are you doing?" Ben asked. + +"I am cleaning the water," the man said. "The mill made the water dirty a long time ago. Now I am making it clean and clear." + +"Can we help you?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, you can help me. You can pick up the trash and put it in this bag. The trash is bad for the water and the fish." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They started to pick up the trash. They found cans, bottles, papers, and plastic. They put them in the bag. + +"Thank you for helping me," the man said. "You are very kind and smart. Do you want to see the water now?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Mia said. + +The man turned off the hose and showed them the water. The water was not thick and brown anymore. It was thin and blue. It sparkled in the sun. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Mia said. + +"It is so clean!" Ben said. + +The man smiled. "Yes, it is. And it is good for the water and the fish. And for you and me. Now you can play near the mill and enjoy the water. But remember, don't throw trash in the water. Keep it clean and clear." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They thanked the man and waved goodbye. They ran to the water and splashed each other. They laughed and had fun. They liked the clean water and the old mill. +Sara and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys in their room. But Sara was very nosy. She always wanted to see what Ben had in his box. Ben did not like that. He said, "Sara, go away. This is my box. You have your own box." + +One day, Sara saw Ben hiding something in his box. She was very curious. She waited until Ben went to the bathroom. Then she ran to his box and opened it. She saw a shiny car. She wanted to play with it. She took it out of the box. + +But Ben came back and saw her. He was very angry. He said, "Sara, that is my car. Give it back to me. You are very nosy. You always take my things." He tried to grab the car from her. + +Sara did not want to give it back. She said, "No, I want to play with it. It is very pretty. You have many toys. You can share." She held the car tight. + +Ben and Sara started to pull the car. They both wanted it. They did not listen to each other. They did not share. They did not say sorry. They pulled and pulled until the car broke. They heard a loud snap. They looked at the car. It was in two pieces. They both felt sad. + +They realized they had made a big mistake. They had broken Ben's car. They had hurt each other's feelings. They had been selfish and nosy. They wished they had been kind and respectful. + +They looked at each other. They said, "I am sorry. I was wrong. I should not have taken your car. I should not have pushed you. I should have asked you. I should have shared with you." + +They hugged each other. They said, "I forgive you. I love you. You are my twin. You are my friend. We can play together. We can fix the car together." + +They learned a lesson. They learned to be nice and not nosy. They learned to share and not push. They learned to say sorry and forgive. They learned to love and play. They had a happy year. +Lila and Ben were playing with blocks in the garden. They liked to make different shapes with the blocks. Lila made a square with four blocks. Ben made a circle with many blocks. + +"Look, I made a circle!" Ben said. "It is round and smooth." + +"That is nice," Lila said. "But I like squares. They are strong and even." + +They saw a big pile of blocks near the fence. They ran to the pile and started to take some blocks. + +"Let's make something new," Lila said. "Something we never made before." + +"OK," Ben said. "What can we make?" + +They looked at the blocks. They saw some blocks that had three sides. They were triangles. + +"Let's make a triangle!" Lila said. "It has three sides and three points." + +They took three triangle blocks and put them together. They made a small triangle. + +"Look, we made a triangle!" Lila said. "It is different from a square and a circle." + +"That is fun," Ben said. "But it is too small. Let's make a bigger triangle." + +They took more triangle blocks and put them around the small triangle. They made a bigger triangle. + +"Look, we made a bigger triangle!" Ben said. "It is bigger than a square and a circle." + +"That is cool," Lila said. "But it is not big enough. Let's make an enormous triangle." + +They took all the triangle blocks from the pile and put them around the bigger triangle. They worked hard and fast. They made an enormous triangle. + +"Look, we made an enormous triangle!" Lila and Ben said together. "It is the biggest shape we ever made." + +They were very happy and proud. They stood inside the enormous triangle and smiled. + +"Wow, you made an enormous triangle!" Mom said. She came out of the house and saw their creation. "That is amazing. How did you do that?" + +"We used all the triangle blocks," Lila said. + +"We worked together," Ben said. + +"That is wonderful," Mom said. "You are very clever and creative. I am proud of you." + +She hugged them and gave them a kiss. They hugged her back and thanked her. + +They played with the enormous triangle until it was time to go inside. They had a lot of fun with the blocks and the shapes. They learned something new and made something beautiful. They were happy. +Tom loves his motorcycle. It is red and shiny and fast. He likes to ride it with his dad on sunny days. His dad has a big motorcycle that is black and loud and strong. + +One day, Tom and his dad go to the park on their motorcycles. They see many trees and flowers and birds. They also see other people riding bikes and scooters and skateboards. Tom waves at them and smiles. + +"Look, dad, they have fun too!" Tom says. + +"Yes, they do, son. But we have the best fun, right?" his dad says. + +"Right, dad. We have the best fun!" Tom says. + +They park their motorcycles near a bench and sit down. They eat some sandwiches and drink some juice. They talk about their motorcycles and how much they like them. + +"Dad, can I ask you something?" Tom says. + +"Sure, son. What is it?" his dad says. + +"Why do you always say that your motorcycle is dependable?" Tom says. + +"Well, son, dependable means that something works well and does not break easily. My motorcycle is dependable because it always starts when I turn the key, it always runs smoothly, and it always takes us where we want to go. It is a good motorcycle, and I take good care of it." his dad says. + +"I see, dad. That makes sense. I want my motorcycle to be dependable too. How can I make it dependable?" Tom says. + +"You can make it dependable by cleaning it, checking it, and filling it with gas regularly. You can also listen to it and feel it when you ride it, and tell me if something is wrong. And you can always wear your helmet and follow the rules of the road. That way, you can enjoy your motorcycle for a long time, and be safe and happy." his dad says. + +"OK, dad. I will do that. Thank you for teaching me. I love you and I love my motorcycle." Tom says. + +"I love you too, son. And I love your motorcycle. It is a great motorcycle, and you are a great rider. Come on, let's go for another ride. The sun is still shining, and the road is calling." his dad says. + +They get on their motorcycles and start the engines. They wave goodbye to the people in the park and zoom away. They have the best fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big structure made of wood and metal. It had many holes and tunnels. Tom wanted to crawl inside and explore. Lily was scared. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go in!" Tom said. "It will be fun!" + +"No, Tom, it is too dark and scary!" Lily said. "There might be spiders or rats or monsters!" + +"Don't be silly, Lily, there are no monsters!" Tom said. "I will go first and you can follow me. I will protect you!" + +Tom crawled into the structure. He saw many things: a wheel, a rope, a box, a pipe. He liked to touch and move them. He called out to Lily. + +"Lily, come and see! There are so many things to play with!" + +Lily heard Tom's voice. She wanted to be brave and join him. She crawled into the structure. She saw a little light coming from the holes. She followed the sound of Tom's voice. She found him in a big tunnel. He was smiling and holding a toy car. + +"Look, Lily, I found a car!" Tom said. "Do you want to play with it?" + +Lily smiled too. She was not scared anymore. She took the car and pushed it along the tunnel. Tom and Lily played together. They had fun. They forgot about the dark and the scary. They only saw the light and the happy. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird. The bird is white and has a long neck. It is graceful. + +"Wow, look at the bird!" Sara says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is," Ben agrees. "Do you think it can speak?" + +Sara shakes her head. "No, birds can't speak. Only people can speak." + +But then, the bird opens its mouth. It makes a loud sound. It sounds like "honk, honk, honk!" + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They cover their ears. The bird is noisy. + +"Stop, bird, stop!" Sara shouts. "You are hurting our ears!" + +But the bird does not stop. It keeps honking. It flaps its wings. It looks angry. + +"Run, Sara, run!" Ben says. "The bird is mad at us!" + +Sara and Ben run away from the bird. They hide behind a tree. They are scared. + +"Why is the bird mad at us?" Sara asks. "We did not do anything bad." + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it does not like us. Maybe it wants to be alone." + +Sara and Ben are sad. They like the bird.

It was a tornado! + +"Mommy, mommy, what is that?" Lily asked, scared. + +"That is a tornado, sweetie. It is a very strong wind that can move things and break them. We have to go to the basement and stay safe," Mommy said, grabbing their hands and leading them downstairs. + +"Why does the tornado do that, mommy?" Max asked, curious. + +"Well, the tornado is not intelligent, honey. It does not think or feel like we do. It is just a natural thing that happens sometimes when the air is very hot and cold at the same time. It does not mean to hurt anyone, but it can be very dangerous," Mommy explained, hugging them. + +"Will it go away soon, mommy?" Lily asked, hopeful. + +"Yes, it will, sweetie. The tornado does not last very long. It will move away and the sky will be clear again. We just have to wait here until it is safe to go back upstairs. Do you want to tell me a story while we wait?" Mommy asked, smiling. + +"Okay, mommy. I will tell you a story about a princess and a dragon," Lily said, happy. + +"And I will tell you a story about a pirate and a treasure," Max said, excited. + +They took turns telling their stories, using their imagination and their simple words. Mommy listened and praised them for their creativity. They did not notice the time passing or the noise fading.

They were glad. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw their mom doing yoga in the garden. She was bending and stretching and making funny shapes with her body. + +"Can we do yoga too, mom?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, you can join me. Yoga is good for your health and happiness," mom said. + +Anna and Ben followed mom and tried to copy her moves. They felt happy and warm as they moved their arms and legs. But then, they saw a big jar of lemonade on the table. + +"Lemonade! I want some!" Ben said. + +"Me too!" Anna said. + +They ran to the table and grabbed the jar. They did not see the label that said "Sour Lemonade. For grown-ups only." + +They poured some lemonade into their cups and drank it. But as soon as they tasted it, they made a face and spit it out. + +"Yuck! This is sour!" Ben said. + +"It hurts my tongue!" Anna said. + +They felt a shiver go through their bodies. They did not feel happy and warm anymore. They felt sick and cold. + +Mom saw them and came to the table. She saw the jar and the label and understood what happened. + +"Oh, no! You drank the sour lemonade! That was not for you. That was for me and dad. It has a lot of lemon and vinegar in it. It is good for our digestion, but not for yours. You should have asked me first," mom said. + +She hugged them and gave them some water and honey to make them feel better. + +"I'm sorry, mom. We did not ask you. We were thirsty and curious," Ben said. + +"We won't do it again, mom. We learned our lesson," Anna said. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. + +"I'm glad you learned your lesson. Next time, be careful and respectful of what you drink and eat. And if you want to do yoga with me, you are always welcome. Yoga is good for everyone, but sour lemonade is not," mom said. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and sing songs. One day, they find a tape in a box.

The tape is in pieces. + +"Oh no, Lily, the tape is broken!" Ben says. "We can't sing with the tape anymore." + +"Don't be sad, Ben, we can fix it!" Lily says. "We need something strong to make the tape round again." + +Lily looks around. She sees a roll of tape. The tape is sticky and strong. Lily takes the tape. She puts the pieces of the tape together. She wraps the sticky tape around the tape. She makes the tape round again. + +"Look, Ben, I fixed the tape!" Lily says. "Now we can sing with the tape again." + +"Wow, Lily, you are so smart and strong!" Ben says. "Thank you for fixing the tape." + +They put the tape in the machine again.

"I'm cutting these flowers for my mother." The person replied. + +The child felt angry. She had wanted to pick the flowers for herself and was not happy about someone else taking them away. She told the person, "You should not take away something that doesn't belong to you. It's not fair!" + +The person apologized and asked the child if she wanted to pick some flowers for herself. Together they chose the brightest and prettiest flowers, and the child happily went home with her special bunch of flowers.

Sam thought it was a great idea so they started doing silly little steps and hopping around in circles. Pretty soon they were both giggling and laughing. + +But then Daisy made a very foolish move. She started to sing a word instead of dancing it. At first Sam just laughed, but then he said, "No Daisy, dancing is supposed to be with our bodies, not with our words!"

She kissed his knee and said, "There, all better. The band-aid will make your knee heal fast." + +Sam smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good princess. And a good friend." + +Lily smiled back and said, "You are welcome, Sam. You are a brave knight. And a good friend." + +They hugged and went back to their cardboard fort. They played some more and had a lot of fun. They forgot about the hurt knee and the rock. They were happy. +Lily was a stubborn girl. She did not like to share her toys or her clothes. She always wanted to have everything for herself. She had a lot of hangers in her closet, but she never used them. She threw her clothes on the floor or on the bed. + +One day, her cousin Sam came to visit. He was very excited to see Lily and play with her. He arrived with a big smile and a small suitcase. He knocked on the door and Lily opened it. + +"Hi, Lily! I'm so happy to see you!" Sam said. + +"Hi, Sam," Lily said, but she did not smile. She did not want to share her room or her toys with Sam. + +Sam followed Lily to her room. He saw the mess of clothes and toys. He tried to find a place to put his suitcase. + +"Can I use one of your hangers, Lily?" Sam asked. "I want to hang my shirt and pants." + +"No, you can't," Lily said. "They are mine. You can't touch them." + +"But, Lily, you have so many hangers. And you don't use them. Please, can I have one?" Sam said. + +"No, no, no!" Lily shouted. "Go away! This is my room!" + +Lily pushed Sam out of the door and slammed it. She locked it with a key. She thought she was happy, but she was not. She felt lonely and sad. + +Sam was hurt and confused. He did not understand why Lily was so mean. He wanted to be friends with her. He sat on the floor and cried. + +Lily heard Sam crying. She felt sorry for him. She realized she was wrong. She unlocked the door and opened it. + +"Sam, I'm sorry," Lily said. "I was stubborn and selfish. You can have a hanger. You can have two. You can have as many as you want. And you can play with my toys. And you can sleep on my bed. Please, don't cry." + +Sam looked up and saw Lily's face. He saw that she was sorry. He smiled and hugged her. + +"Thank you, Lily," Sam said. "You are very kind. I'm sorry, too. I love you, cousin." + +"I love you, too, Sam," Lily said. "You are very sweet. Come on, let's play." + +They went to Lily's room and hung Sam's clothes on the hangers. They played with the toys and had fun. They forgot about the mess and the fight. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to gather sticks and leaves and make pretend houses. They also liked to whip the sticks in the air and make loud noises. + +One day, a big dog came into the yard. It was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It barked and growled at Tom and Lily. They were scared and ran to their house. But the dog followed them and tried to bite them. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Lily shouted. "There is a bad dog in the yard!" + +Their mom heard them and came out. She saw the dog and grabbed a broom. She waved the broom at the dog and said in a harsh voice, "Go away, you nasty dog! Leave my children alone!" + +The dog was afraid of the mom and the broom. It turned around and ran away. Tom and Lily hugged their mom and thanked her. She hugged them back and said, "You are welcome, my darlings. I am glad you are safe. But next time, be careful and do not whip sticks at strange dogs. They might get angry and hurt you." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson and never whipped sticks at dogs again. They still liked to gather sticks and leaves and make pretend houses, but they also looked out for any dogs in the yard. +Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a purple bag for her blocks. She was very happy when her toys were neat and tidy. + +One day, Lily wanted to play outside. She put on her coat and shoes and grabbed her purple bag. She said bye to her mom and went to the yard. She saw a path that led to the park. She thought it would be fun to go there and build with her blocks. + +She walked on the path, holding her purple bag. She did not see the big dog that was running after her. The dog was angry and hungry. It wanted to bite Lily and take her bag. It barked very loud and jumped on Lily. + +Lily was scared and hurt. She dropped her purple bag and cried. The dog grabbed the bag and ran away. It tore the bag and the blocks with its teeth. Lily's blocks were broken and dirty. + +Lily's mom heard her cry and came to the yard. She saw Lily on the ground and the dog with the bag. She was very angry and sad. She chased the dog away and hugged Lily. She took her inside and cleaned her wounds. She said she was sorry and that she loved her. But Lily's purple bag and blocks were gone. She could not organize them anymore. She was very unhappy. +Lila and Sam were playing with crayons. They liked to draw animals and flowers on paper. Lila had a blue crayon and Sam had a red one. They shared the other colors. + +"Look, I made a fish!" Lila said, showing her paper to Sam. + +"It is very nice," Sam said. "I made a rose." + +They smiled at each other and kept drawing. + +But then, Lila's blue crayon broke. It snapped in half and fell on the floor. Lila was sad. She liked blue. It was her favorite color. + +"Oh no, my blue crayon!" she cried. + +Sam saw her cry and felt sorry for her. He wanted to help her. + +"Here, Lila, you can have my red crayon," he said, giving it to her. + +"But what about your rose?" Lila asked. + +"That's okay, I can use another color," Sam said. "Maybe green or yellow." + +Lila took the red crayon and smiled. She was happy again. She thanked Sam and gave him a hug. + +"Thank you, Sam, you are very kind," she said. + +"You're welcome, Lila, you are my friend," he said. + +They replaced their crayons and kept drawing. They had fun with all the colors. They did not care if their crayons were dry or wet. They only cared about each other. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But they did not like the big dog that sometimes came to the park. The big dog was loud and fast and chased them. They were frightened of the big dog. + +One day, they saw the big dog again. It was barking and running towards them. Tom and Lily ran to the bench and tried to seat on it. But the bench was too high for them. They could not reach it. They looked for help, but no one was near. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "The big dog is coming!" + +Then they heard a voice. It was Sam, their big brother. He was coming from the school. He saw the big dog and ran to Tom and Lily. He picked them up and put them on the bench. He stood in front of them and faced the big dog. + +"Go away!" he shouted. "Leave my brother and sister alone!" + +The big dog stopped and looked at Sam. Sam was not frightened. He was brave and strong. The big dog turned and ran away. Tom and Lily hugged Sam and thanked him. + +"Thank you, Sam!" they said. "You saved us from the big dog!" + +Sam smiled and hugged them back. He said, "You're welcome, Tom and Lily. I love you. I will always protect you. That's my promise." +Tom and Mia are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they bring a big red ball to the park. They throw the ball to each other and have fun. + +But then, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the ball and runs after it. The dog catches the ball in his mouth and runs away. Tom and Mia are sad. They want their ball back. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Tom shouts to the dog. "Give it back!" + +But the dog does not listen. He runs faster and faster. He goes behind a big tree and vanishes. Tom and Mia cannot see him anymore. + +"Where did he go?" Mia asks. "Maybe he went home with our ball." + +Tom and Mia are worried. They love their ball. They look for the dog and the ball. They look behind the tree, under the bench, in the bushes. But they cannot find them. + +They are about to give up when they hear a bark. They turn around and see the dog. He is wagging his tail and holding the ball in his mouth. He drops the ball at their feet and licks their faces. + +"Wow, he brought our ball back!" Tom says. "He is a good dog!" + +Mia agrees. She pets the dog and says, "Thank you, dog. You are amazing!" + +The dog barks happily. He likes Tom and Mia. They play with him and the ball for a while. Then they say goodbye and go home. They are happy. They have their ball and a new friend. +Lily and Ben were playing in the sand by the sea. They made a big castle with towers and walls and a moat. They used shells and stones and sticks to decorate it. They were very proud of their castle. + +"Look at our castle, Mom!" Lily shouted. "It's the best castle ever!" + +Mom smiled and took a picture of them. "It's very beautiful, my loves. But it's almost time to go home. Why don't you rest for a while and have some water and a snack?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were tired from playing so hard. They sat down on a blanket and drank some water. Mom gave them some crackers and cheese. They ate them happily. + +"Mom, can I have some salt for my cheese?" Ben asked. He liked salt very much. + +"Sure, honey. Here you go. But don't put too much, or it will be too salty." Mom said. She handed him a small shaker of salt. + +Ben sprinkled some salt on his cheese. He took a big bite. He made a funny face. + +"Yuck! This is not salt! This is sand!" He spat out the cheese. + +Lily and Mom laughed. They looked at the shaker. It was full of sand. Someone had switched the salt with the sand. + +"Who did this?" Ben asked. He was not happy. + +They looked around. They saw a naughty boy running away with a big grin. He had taken their salt and left them his sand. + +"It was him!" Lily said. She pointed at the boy. + +"Hey, give us back our salt!" Ben shouted. He got up and ran after the boy. + +Lily and Mom followed him. They wanted their salt back too. + +The end. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toys on the carpet. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. They share their toys and have fun. But sometimes they want the same toy and they fight. + +One day, Anna and Ben both want the red car. It is their favorite car. It can go fast and make noises. Anna says, "I want the red car. It is mine." Ben says, "No, I want the red car. It is mine." They pull the car from each other and yell. + +Mom hears them and comes to the room. She is angry. She says, "Stop fighting. You have to share your toys. If you can't share, you can't play." She takes the red car and puts it on the shelf. She says, "No one can play with the red car until you say sorry and hug." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They don't want to lose the red car. They look at each other and feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Anna." "Sorry, Ben." They hug and smile. Mom sees them and smiles too. She says, "That's better. Now you can play nicely." She gives them the red car and a kiss. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They play with the red car and their other toys. They take turns and help each other. They say, "Thank you, Mom." "You're welcome, Anna and Ben." They have fun on the carpet. +Lily and Max were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to look at the magazines that their mom left on the table. The magazines had pictures of animals, cars, and people. Lily and Max liked to point at the pictures and say their names. + +"Look, Max, a dog!" Lily said, holding a magazine. "Woof, woof!" + +"Look, Lily, a car!" Max said, holding another magazine. "Vroom, vroom!" + +They were having fun, until Max saw a picture of a cake. He wanted to eat the cake. He tried to take the magazine from Lily, but she held it tight. + +"Mine!" Lily said. "I saw it first!" + +"No, mine!" Max said. "I want the cake!" + +They pulled and tugged at the magazine, but it did not move. They started to cry and yell. + +"Quit it, you two!" their mom said, coming into the room. She saw the mess of toys and magazines on the floor. She was not happy. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +"Lily won't share!" Max said. + +"Max took my magazine!" Lily said. + +Their mom sighed. She took the magazine from their hands and put it on the table. She picked up the toys and put them in a box. She said, "You need to learn to share and play nicely. Magazines are not for eating. They are for looking. If you want a cake, you can help me bake one in the kitchen. But first, you need to say sorry to each other." + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt bad for making their mom angry. They said, "Sorry, Lily." + +"Sorry, Max." + +They hugged and smiled. They followed their mom to the kitchen. They helped her measure, mix, and pour the ingredients for the cake. They waited for the cake to bake in the oven. They smelled the sweet aroma. They were happy again. They learned their lesson. They decided to share and play nicely from now on. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with water. They have a big bathtub in their bathroom. They fill it with water and bubbles. They put their toys in the water. They have a duck, a boat, a fish and a frog. + +"Look, Lily, I can make the boat go fast!" Max says. He blows on the boat and it moves on the water. + +"Wow, Max, that is fun!" Lily says. She picks up the duck and squeezes it. It makes a quack sound. + +They laugh and splash each other. They have a good time. + +Then, Mom comes in. She has a scale. She says, "It is time to weigh you, kids. You are growing so fast!" + +Lily and Max get out of the water. They dry themselves with towels. They stand on the scale, one by one. + +"Lily, you weigh 15 kilos. You are a big girl!" Mom says. + +"Max, you weigh 16 kilos. You are a big boy!" Mom says. + +Lily and Max are happy. They hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you!" + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you, too. You are good kids. Now, let's go to bed. You need to rest and grow more." +Lily wanted to help her mom make cookies. She saw mom put some things in a big bowl and mix them. Lily thought it looked fun. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bowl. But the chair was wobbly and the bowl was heavy. Lily struggled to hold the bowl and it fell on the floor. The cookie dough splashed everywhere. + +Mom heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the floor, covered in dough. She also saw the stove was on and the oven was hot. Mom was scared and angry. She turned off the stove and the oven. She picked up Lily and said, "Lily, what did you do? You could have burned yourself or the house! You can't touch the stove or the oven. They are very hot and dangerous. You have to ask me before you help me. You are ignorant of the rules." + +Lily felt bad. She didn't mean to make a mess or hurt herself. She just wanted to help. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I wanted to make cookies with you. I like cookies. Can we still make cookies?" + +Mom sighed. She was still upset, but she loved Lily. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you didn't know. But you have to listen to me and learn the rules. The stove and the oven are not for you. They are for grown-ups. Maybe when you are older, you can help me make cookies. But for now, you can help me clean up the mess. And then we can make some new cookies together. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I love you. Can I have a hug?" + +Mom hugged Lily. She said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good girl. But please be careful. Come on, let's clean up and make some cookies." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They also liked to look for bugs and worms. Sometimes they found snails and slugs. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big snail!" Tom said, holding up his find. "It has a shell and a slimy body. Do you want to see?" + +Lily nodded and came closer. She touched the snail gently. It hid inside its shell. + +"Maybe it is shy," Lily said. "Or maybe it is scared of us." + +Tom shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe we should put it back where we found it." + +He looked around and saw a drain near the fence. It had a metal cover with holes in it. + +"Hey, Lily, do you think the snail lives in the drain?" he asked. + +Lily frowned. "I don't think so, Tom. The drain is dark and wet and dirty. The snail likes the grass and the flowers and the sun." + +Tom was curious. He wanted to see what was in the drain. He lifted the cover and peered inside. He saw water and mud and some rubbish. + +"Wow, look at this, Lily!" he said. "There is a lot of stuff in the drain. Maybe there are more snails and bugs in there." + +Lily shook her head. "No, Tom, don't go near the drain. It is dangerous. You might fall in or get stuck or hurt yourself. Come back here and play with me." + +Tom did not listen. He leaned over the drain and reached his hand inside. He wanted to grab something. He felt something hard and round. He thought it was a ball. + +"Look, Lily, I found a ball!" he said. "It is red and shiny and mighty. Do you want to play with it?" + +Lily did not answer. She was scared. She saw that the ball was not a ball. It was a balloon. And it was not red and shiny and mighty. It was old and dirty and burst. + +"Tom, that is not a ball!" she said. "That is a balloon. And it is broken. Let it go and come back here. Please, Tom, please." + +Tom did not hear her. He pulled the balloon out of the drain. He was happy. He wanted to show Lily his prize. He did not see the hole in the balloon. He did not see the air coming out of it. He did not see the balloon getting smaller and smaller. + +He lifted the balloon up in the air. He smiled. He said, "Look, Lily, look at my ball. It is the best ball ever. It can fly. Watch this." + +He let go of the balloon. He waited for it to fly. He waited for Lily to clap and cheer. He waited for the balloon to come back to him. + +But the balloon did not fly. It did not clap and cheer. It did not come back to him. + +It fell to the ground. It was flat and empty and sad. + +Tom was shocked. He did not understand. He ran to the balloon and picked it up. He tried to blow it up. He tried to make it big and round and mighty again. + +But it did not work. The balloon was broken. It could not be fixed. + +Tom was sad. He cried. He said, "Lily, Lily, what happened to my ball? Why did it not fly? Why did it break? Why, Lily, why?" + +Lily came to him and hugged him. She was sorry. She said, "Tom, Tom, I'm sorry. It was not a ball. It was a balloon. And it was old and burst. It could not fly. It could only fall. I tried to tell you, Tom. I tried to mention it to you. But you did not listen. You did not hear me. You only saw the drain. You only wanted the balloon. You did not want to play with me." + +Tom looked at her. He saw her eyes. They were wet and sad. He felt her arms. They were warm and kind. He felt bad. He said, "Lily, Lily, I'm sorry. I was silly. I did not listen. I did not hear you. I only saw the drain. I only wanted the balloon. I did not want to play with you. But I do, Lily, I do. You are my sister. You are my friend. You are the best. Can we play together? Can we forget the drain? Can we forget the balloon? Can we have fun?" + +Lily smiled. She nodded. She said, "Yes, Tom, yes. We can play together. We can forget the drain. We can forget the balloon. We can have fun. We have each other. We +Lily was a kid who liked to grow things. She had a small garden with flowers and carrots and beans. She watered them every day and watched them grow. She was proud of her garden. + +One day, she saw a large seed in a shiny wrapper. It had a picture of a sunflower on it. Lily wanted to grow a sunflower. She asked her mom if she could plant it. + +"Sure, Lily, you can plant it. But you have to find a good spot for it. Sunflowers need a lot of sun and space. They grow very large and tall," her mom said. + +Lily looked around her garden. She saw a corner that had no plants. It was near the fence and had a lot of sun. She thought it was a good spot for her sunflower. She dug a hole and put the seed in it. She covered it with dirt and watered it. She made a sign that said "Lily's sunflower" and stuck it in the ground. + +Every day, Lily checked on her sunflower. She was happy when she saw a green sprout. She was excited when she saw a yellow bud. She was amazed when she saw a big flower. It was larger than her head. It was taller than her mom. It was the most beautiful sunflower she had ever seen. + +She ran to her mom and hugged her. "Look, mom, look at my sunflower! It grew so large and bright! Thank you for letting me plant it!" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her back. "You're welcome, Lily. You did a great job. You have a green thumb. I'm proud of you and your sunflower." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make loud noises as they zoomed and crashed their cars on the carpet. They pretended they were in a race and tried to go faster and faster. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to win!" Lily shouted. + +"No, I'm going to win!" Ben yelled. + +Their mom was in the kitchen, making a cake. She heard their loud voices and smiled. She was happy they were having fun, but she also wanted them to be quiet for a while. She had a surprise for them. + +She finished the cake and put some cream on top. She sprinkled some colorful candies on the cream. She put the cake on a plate and carried it to the living room. + +"Look what I have for you!" she said. + +Lily and Ben stopped playing and looked at the cake. Their eyes widened and their mouths watered. They saw the cream and the candies and they felt very happy. + +"Wow, mom, thank you!" they said. + +They ran to the couch and sat down. Their mom cut two slices of cake and gave them to them. They took big bites and made happy noises. + +"Mmm, this is so good!" Lily said. + +"I love the cream!" Ben said. + +Their mom smiled and sat down with them. She cut a slice for herself and ate it. She enjoyed the cake and the cream, but she also enjoyed the silence. She was glad they liked her surprise, but she also liked that they were not loud anymore. + +She hugged them and said, "I love you, my sweeties." + +They hugged her back and said, "We love you too, mom." +Lily likes music. She likes to sing and dance and clap. She has a music class at school. She goes with her mom and her friends. + +Today, Lily learns a new song. It is about a frog and a duck. The frog says ribbit and the duck says quack. Lily thinks it is funny. She sings and claps with the teacher. She also makes the sounds of the frog and the duck. + +When the song is over, Lily and her friends clap for the teacher. The teacher smiles and says thank you. She says they are very polite. Lily feels happy. She likes to be polite. She likes music class. She gives her mom a hug and says she loves her. +Lila and Ben were twins who loved to play in the snow. They made snowmen, snow angels, and snow forts. One day, they saw a brown reindeer in the woods. They were very excited and wanted to pet it. + +"Hello, reindeer!" Lila said. "You are so pretty and soft. Can we be your friends?" + +The reindeer looked at them with big, sad eyes. It had a hurt leg and could not run or jump. It was alone and scared. + +"Please, don't hurt me," the reindeer said. "I lost my family and my home. The bad men came and took them away. They wanted to eat them and use their fur and horns. I ran away, but I fell and hurt myself. Now I have no one." + +Lila and Ben felt sorry for the reindeer. They did not want to hurt it. They wanted to help it. + +"Don't be sad, reindeer," Ben said. "We will not hurt you. We will help you. We will be your friends. We have a warm house and a big yard. You can stay with us until you get better. Then you can find your family and your home again." + +The reindeer smiled and nodded. It trusted Lila and Ben. They were kind and gentle. They helped the reindeer stand up and walk slowly to their house. They gave it some food and water and a soft blanket. They played with it and talked to it. They made it happy. + +Lila and Ben's parents were surprised to see the reindeer, but they understood. They were proud of their children for being brave and caring. They let the reindeer stay with them until it healed. They also called the animal rescue people to help find the reindeer's family and home. + +The reindeer was grateful to Lila and Ben and their parents. It wept tears of joy when it saw its family and home again. It hugged Lila and Ben and thanked them for saving its life. It said goodbye and promised to visit them again. + +Lila and Ben waved goodbye and smiled. They were happy for the reindeer. They learned that it is good to help others in need. They learned that friendship is a precious gift. They learned that kindness is the best magic. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be cowboys and cowgirls. They wear hats and boots and scarves. They have toy horses and ropes. + +They go to the park and find a big tree. They tie their horses to the tree. They say, "This is our ranch. We are wealthy cowboys and cowgirls. We have many cows and sheep and chickens." + +They see another boy and girl in the park. They have bikes and balls and dolls. They say, "Hello, do you want to play with us? We are cowboys and cowgirls. We have a ranch in the west." + +The other boy and girl say, "No, thank you. We are not cowboys and cowgirls. We are astronauts. We have a rocket and a moon and a star. We go to space and explore." + +Anna and Ben say, "Wow, that sounds fun. Can we see your rocket and your moon and your star?" + +The other boy and girl say, "Sure, come with us. We will show you our space station. You can try our helmets and suits and gloves." + +Anna and Ben untie their horses and follow the other boy and girl. They leave their hats and boots and scarves by the tree. They say, "Maybe we can be cowboys and cowgirls and astronauts. We can have a ranch in the west and a space station in the sky." +Sara was very happy. She was going to see a new place with her mom and dad. They got on a big bus with other people. The bus driver said they were going on a tour. Sara liked to look out the window and see new things. + +But then the bus stopped. The bus driver said there was a problem. They had to wait for another bus to come. Sara felt sad and bored.

She has a lot of toys, but her favorite is a big mug. The mug is blue and has a picture of a cat on it. Lily likes to pretend that the mug is a house for her dolls. + +One day, Lily finds a sticker in her drawer. The sticker is shiny and has a star on it. Lily thinks that the sticker would look nice on her mug. She peels off the sticker and tries to attach it to the mug. But the sticker does not stick. It falls off and lands on the floor. + +Lily is sad. She wants the sticker to stay on the mug. She tries again and again, but the sticker does not stick. She starts to cry. She does not understand why the sticker does not work. + +Mom hears Lily crying. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the sticker and the mug. She hugs Lily and says, "Don't cry, sweetie. The sticker does not stick because the mug is smooth and hard. The sticker needs something rough and soft to stick to. Like this." Mom takes the sticker and attaches it to Lily's shirt. The sticker stays on and sparkles. + +Lily smiles. She likes the sticker on her shirt. She says, "Thank you, Mom. You are smart and kind." Mom says, "You're welcome, Lily. You are brave and patient.

They do not have an adult with them. They do not know what to do. They sit on the bench and cry. + +A lady sees them crying. She is kind. She asks them, "Why are you crying, kids? Do you need help?" + +Sara and Ben tell her their plan. They tell her they want to go to university. They tell her they want to learn many things. + +The lady smiles. She says, "That is a very unusual plan. University is not for kids. University is for grown-ups. Kids go to school. School is also a place where you can learn many things. Do you go to school?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They go to school. They like school. But they also want to see the map places. + +The lady says, "I understand. I also like to see new places. But you cannot go to university now. You have to wait until you are older. Then you can choose what you want to learn and where you want to go. For now, you have to go back to your mom and dad. They must be worried about you. I can take you back to them. Do you want that?" + +Sara and Ben think. They are still curious about university. But they also miss their mom and dad. They do not want them to be worried. They agree to go back with the lady. They thank her for being nice. They hope to see her again. + +The lady takes them back to their home. Their mom and dad are very happy to see them. They hug them and kiss them. They ask them where they went. Sara and Ben tell them their plan. Their mom and dad laugh. They say, "That is a very unusual plan. But we are proud of you for being brave and smart. Maybe one day you will go to university. But for now, you have to stay with us. We love you very much." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They love their mom and dad too. They put their bags away. They look at the map. They still want to see the places. But they also want to learn at school. They decide to make a new plan. A plan for when they are older. A plan to go to university and see the world. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. Tim has a red motorcycle. Sam has a blue truck. They make noises and zoom around the floor. + +"Vroom, vroom, I am the fastest motorcycle!" Tim says. + +"Beep, beep, I am the strongest truck!" Sam says. + +They have fun, but sometimes they fight. Tim wants to play with Sam's truck. Sam wants to play with Tim's motorcycle. They do not want to share. + +"Give me your truck, Sam!" Tim says. + +"No, give me your motorcycle, Tim!" Sam says. + +They pull and tug at each other's toys. They get angry and yell. Then, Tim does something bad. He bites Sam's arm. + +"Ow, ow, ow, Tim, that hurts!" Sam cries. + +He drops the motorcycle and holds his arm. He has a mark from Tim's teeth. He runs to Mom. + +"Mom, Mom, Tim bit me!" Sam says. + +Mom hears Sam and comes to see. She sees the bite and the toys on the floor. She is not happy. + +"Tim, why did you bite Sam?" Mom asks. + +Tim looks down. He feels sorry. He knows biting is bad. + +"I wanted his truck. He wanted my motorcycle. We did not share. I was mad." Tim says. + +Mom shakes her head. She picks up Tim and Sam. She hugs them. + +"Boys, boys, you are brothers. You should love each other, not bite each other. Biting is not nice. It hurts. You should say sorry and share your toys. You have many toys. You can play with both the truck and the motorcycle. They are both fun. You can take turns. You can be friends." Mom says. + +Tim and Sam listen to Mom. They feel bad for biting and fighting. They say sorry to each other. They hug and kiss. They share their toys. They play nicely. They make noises and zoom around the floor. + +"Vroom, vroom, I am the fastest motorcycle!" Tim says. + +"Beep, beep, I am the strongest truck!" Sam says. + +They smile and laugh. They are happy. They are tough, but they are kind. +Anna liked to play with her robot. It was shiny and had many buttons. She could make it talk, walk, and dance. She named it Robby. + +One day, it was gloomy outside. The sky was gray and it rained a lot. Anna could not go to the park or ride her bike. She was bored and sad. + +She asked her mom, "Can I play with Robby in the living room?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, but be careful. Don't break anything or make a mess." + +Anna was happy. She took Robby to the living room and turned it on. She said, "Hello, Robby. Do you want to play with me?" + +Robby said, "Yes, Anna. I want to play with you. What do you want to do?" + +Anna thought for a moment. She said, "Can you request a song for me? I want to hear some music." + +Robby said, "Sure, Anna. I can request a song for you. What song do you like?" + +Anna said, "I like the song about the wheels on the bus. Can you request that song?" + +Robby said, "Okay, Anna. I will request that song." He pressed a button and the song started to play. + +Anna and Robby sang along and danced. They had fun and forgot about the gloomy weather. They were happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big fountain. It has water that goes up and down. They want to go near it. + +"Look, Lily, water!" Tom says. He runs to the fountain. He wears a suit. His mom gave it to him for his birthday. It is blue and has buttons. + +"Wait, Tom, don't get wet!" Lily says. She wears a dress. It is pink and has flowers. She likes it very much. + +But Tom does not listen. He goes into the fountain. He feels the water on his face and hands. He laughs. He thinks it is fun. He splashes the water with his feet. He is wild. + +"Tom, come back!" Lily says. She is worried. She does not want Tom to ruin his suit. She does not want him to get sick. She does not want mom to be angry. + +But Tom does not hear her. He is too busy. He plays with the water. He does not see that his suit is wet. He does not feel that he is cold. He does not care that he is soaked. + +Lily sighs. She does not know what to do. She hopes that Tom will stop soon. She hopes that mom will not be mad. She hopes that Tom will be okay. She sits on a bench. She waits for Tom. She is sad. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with many pretty flowers. Lily wanted to pick some flowers to take home. Tom said, "No, Lily, don't pick the flowers. They are not ours. They belong to the tree and the bees and the birds. If you pick them, they will die and the tree will be sad." + +But Lily did not listen to Tom. She said, "I don't care. I want the flowers. They are so pretty and smell so good. I will pick the best ones and make a wide crown for my head." She ran to the tree and started to pick the flowers. Tom followed her and tried to stop her, but she pushed him away. + +Soon, Lily had a wide crown of flowers on her head. She felt very happy and proud. She said to Tom, "Look at me, Tom. I am the queen of the flowers. Don't I look pretty?" Tom looked at her and shook his head. He said, "No, Lily, you don't look pretty. You look selfish and mean. You hurt the tree and the flowers and the animals. You are not a good friend." + +Lily did not like what Tom said. She felt angry and hurt. She said, "You are just jealous, Tom. You are not my friend anymore. Go away and leave me alone." She turned away from him and walked to the swings. Tom felt sad and lonely. He walked to the bench and sat down. + +But then, something bad happened. A big wind came and blew Lily's crown off her head. The flowers flew away and landed on the ground. They were broken and wilted. Lily cried and ran to get them, but it was too late. They were gone. She looked at her empty hands and felt very sorry. She wished she had listened to Tom and left the flowers alone. She looked for Tom, but he was not there. He had gone home. She felt very alone and sad. She learned a hard lesson that day. She learned that picking flowers is not nice, and that being greedy and rude is not pretty. She learned that she should respect nature and be a good friend. She hoped that Tom would forgive her and be her friend again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big orange ball on the grass. Lily wants to play with the ball. + +"Can we borrow the ball?" Lily asks Ben. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Maybe the ball belongs to someone else," Ben says. + +They run to the ball and start to kick it. They have fun. The ball bounces high and far. They laugh and chase the ball. + +But then they hear a voice. It is a boy. He is angry. + +"Hey, that's my ball! Give it back!" the boy shouts. + +Lily and Ben stop. They feel scared. They did not know the ball was his. + +"Sorry, we did not know. We just wanted to play," Lily says. + +The boy runs to them and grabs the ball. He looks at them with a mean face. + +"Next time, ask before you borrow. This is my ball. Go away!" he says. + +Lily and Ben feel sad. They say sorry again and walk away. They look for another toy to play with. They hope the boy will be nicer next time. +Anna loves to read books. She reads every day with her mom and dad. She likes to learn new words and stories. She has a goal to read ten books by herself. + +One day, she goes to the library with her mom. She sees a big shelf of books. She wants to find a book to read. She looks at the pictures and the titles. She sees a book about a princess and a dragon. She likes princesses and dragons. She takes the book and shows it to her mom. + +"Mom, can I read this book?" she asks. + +"Sure, honey, that looks like a fun book. Let's go to the couch and read it together," her mom says. + +They walk to the couch and sit down. Anna opens the book and starts to read. She reads the words slowly and carefully. She is proud of herself. + +But then, a boy comes to the couch. He is bigger than Anna. He has a rude face. He snatches the book from Anna's hands. + +"Hey, that's my book!" he says. "You can't read it. It's too hard for you. You are a baby." + +He laughs and runs away with the book. Anna feels sad and angry. She wants her book back. She looks at her mom. + +"Mom, he took my book. He was rude. He called me a baby. I want my book back," she says. + +Her mom hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, honey. He was very rude. He should not take your book. He should not call you a baby. You are not a baby. You are a smart and brave girl. You can read any book you want. Let's go and find him and get your book back. OK?" + +Anna nods and says, "OK, mom. Let's go." + +They get up and look for the boy. They see him at another couch. He is not reading the book. He is throwing it in the air and catching it. He is not careful with the book. He is hurting the book. + +Anna and her mom walk to the boy. Anna says, "Hey, that's my book. Give it back to me. You are rude. You are not reading the book. You are hurting the book." + +The boy looks at Anna and says, "No, it's my book. You can't have it. Go away." + +He tries to throw the book again, but Anna is quick. She grabs the book from his hands. She holds it tight. She says, "No, it's my book. I found it first. I was reading it. You can't have it. You go away." + +The boy is surprised and angry. He tries to get the book back, but Anna is strong. She does not let go. She says, "Stop it. You are rude. You are not nice. You should say sorry." + +The boy does not say sorry. He says, "You are mean. You are a baby. You can't read." + +He pushes Anna and runs away. Anna falls to the floor. She hurts her knee. She cries. Her mom helps her up. She says, "Are you OK, honey?" + +Anna says, "Yes, mom. I'm OK. But he was rude. He pushed me. He hurt me. He hurt the book." + +Her mom says, "I know, honey. He was very rude. He should not push you. He should not hurt you. He should not hurt the book. He should say sorry. But you were very brave. You stood up for yourself. You got your book back. You reached your goal. You read the book. I'm proud of you." + +Anna smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. I'm proud of me too. Can we read the book again?" + +Her mom says, "Of course, honey. Let's read the book again. Let's go to another couch. A nice couch. A couch where no one is rude." + +They go to another couch. A nice couch. A couch where no one is rude. They sit down and read the book again. They enjoy the book. They enjoy each other. They are happy. +Lily was very happy. She got an invitation to Ben's birthday party. Ben was her best friend from school. He lived in a big, modern house with a pool and a slide. Lily wanted to go to his party very much. + +She showed the invitation to her mom. "Mom, can I go to Ben's party? Please, please, please!" she asked. + +"Of course, you can, sweetie. It's very nice of Ben to invite you. What do you want to give him as a present?" her mom said. + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to give Ben something special. Something that he would like and that would show him that they belong together as friends. She had an idea. She ran to her room and got her favorite book. It was a book about dinosaurs. Ben loved dinosaurs too. + +She wrapped the book in colorful paper and put a bow on it. She wrote "To Ben, from Lily" on a card. She was ready to go to the party. + +She and her mom got in the car and drove to Ben's house. Lily was very excited. She knocked on the door and Ben opened it. He smiled when he saw Lily and her present. + +"Hi, Lily! I'm so glad you came! Come in, come in! The party is in the backyard. We have cake and games and balloons!" he said. + +Lily hugged him and gave him the present. "Happy birthday, Ben! This is for you. I hope you like it. It's my favorite book," she said. + +Ben opened the present and his eyes widened. He saw the book about dinosaurs. He was very happy. He hugged Lily back and said, "Thank you, Lily! I love it! It's my favorite book too! You are the best friend ever! Come on, let's go have fun!" + +They ran to the backyard and joined the other kids. They had a lot of fun at the party. They played, ate, laughed, and sang. Lily and Ben were very happy. They belonged together as friends. +Lila and Sam are twins. They like to play in the snow. One day, they find a big igloo in the park. It is made of ice blocks. It looks very old and cold. + +"Who lives in the igloo?" Lila asks. + +"Maybe a polar bear or a penguin," Sam says. + +They want to see inside the igloo. They walk closer and closer. They hear a noise. It sounds like a growl. + +"Uh-oh," Lila says. + +They see a big white head poke out of the igloo. It has black eyes and a black nose. It is a polar bear! + +"Run!" Sam says. + +They turn around and run as fast as they can. The polar bear chases them. It is angry and hungry. + +They see their mom and dad. They are sitting on a bench. They are watching the twins. + +"Help!" Lila and Sam shout. + +Mom and dad see the polar bear. They are scared too. They grab the twins and run to the car. They drive away from the park. + +The polar bear stops at the edge of the park. It goes back to the igloo. It is its home. It is an ancient igloo. It has been there for a long time. It likes to watch the people who come to the park. Sometimes, it likes to play with them. But sometimes, it likes to scare them. It is a naughty polar bear. +Lily was a girl who liked to build. She had many blocks of different colors and shapes. She could build towers, bridges, houses, and animals. She was very proud of her creations. + +But Lily was also messy. She did not like to put her blocks away when she was done. She left them on the floor, on the table, on the couch, and sometimes even on the bed. Her mom and dad were not happy. They told her to clean up her blocks every day. But Lily did not listen. She said, "I will do it later." + +One day, Lily had a friend over. His name was Ben. He also liked to build. They played with the blocks together. They built a big castle with a moat and a drawbridge. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, it was time for Ben to go home. Lily said, "Bye, Ben. Thank you for playing with me." Ben said, "Bye, Lily. You have a lot of blocks. But you should clean them up. They are everywhere. You might trip and fall." + +Lily did not think so. She said, "No, I won't. I know where they are. I will do it later." Ben shrugged and left. + +Lily went to the kitchen to get a snack. She was hungry. She did not see the block on the floor. She stepped on it and slipped. She fell down and hurt her knee. She cried out loud. + +Her mom and dad came running. They saw the block and the blood. They were worried. They hugged Lily and said, "Oh, Lily. Are you okay? We told you to clean up your blocks. They are dangerous. You could have hurt yourself badly." + +Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. You were right. I should have cleaned up my blocks. I will do it now. Can you help me?" + +Her mom and dad smiled and said, "Of course, we will help you. We love you, Lily. But next time, please listen to us. And to your friend. He was right too." + +Lily nodded and said, "I will, mom and dad. And I will say sorry to Ben too. He is a good friend." + +They went to the living room and cleaned up the blocks together. Lily learned her lesson. She was still a girl who liked to build. But she was not messy anymore. +Tim and Mia are playing in the park. They like to run, jump and slide. They are very happy. They see a big hill with green grass. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +They hold hands and start to walk up the hill. They are not tired. They are excited. They talk to each other as they go. + +"Look, Mia, look!" Tim says. "I see a cloud in the sky. It is white and fluffy. It looks like a bunny." + +"Wow, Tim, you are right!" Mia says. "It does look like a bunny. It is so cute. I wish I could touch it." + +They keep walking and see more clouds. They see a cloud that looks like a fish, a cloud that looks like a star, and a cloud that looks like a flower. They point and laugh at the clouds. They have fun. + +But then they see a cloud that is different. It is not white and fluffy. It is brown and dark. It looks like a monster. It has a big mouth and sharp teeth. It is scary. + +"Look, Mia, look!" Tim says. "I see a cloud in the sky. It is brown and dark. It looks like a monster." + +"Oh, Tim, you are right!" Mia says. "It does look like a monster. It is so scary. I don't like it." + +They feel afraid. They don't want to play anymore. They want to go back to their mom and dad. They turn around and run down the hill. They hold hands and shout for help. + +"Mom! Dad! Help!" they cry. "There is a monster in the sky!" + +Their mom and dad hear them and come to them. They hug them and calm them down. They look at the sky and see the cloud. + +"Don't worry, Tim and Mia," their mom says. "It is not a monster. It is just a cloud. It is brown and dark because it has rain in it. It will go away soon." + +"Really, mom?" Tim asks. + +"Really, dad?" Mia asks. + +"Really, my loves," their dad says. "It is just a cloud. It can't hurt you. It is just water and air. You are safe with us." + +They feel better. They smile and hug their mom and dad. They look at the sky and see the other clouds. They see the bunny, the fish, the star and the flower. They are still there. They are still white and fluffy. They are still cute. + +They forget about the monster. They are not afraid anymore. They are happy again. They want to play again. They thank their mom and dad and go back to the hill. They climb and see what is on the other side. They have fun. They are happy. +Mira and Sami were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big, dark cloud in the sky. They heard a loud noise and felt drops of water on their faces. It was raining! + +"Let's go inside, Mira!" Sami said. He was scared of the noise and the water. + +"No, Sami, let's stay here!" Mira said. She liked the rain and wanted to see something. "Maybe we will see a rainbow!" + +"A rainbow? What is that?" Sami asked. + +"A rainbow is a big, pretty thing with many colors. It comes after the rain. Mama told me that God makes rainbows to show us His love. She said we can pray to God and thank Him for the rainbows." Mira explained. + +"Really? Can we pray now?" Sami asked. + +"Sure, Sami. Let's hold hands and close our eyes." Mira said. They held hands and closed their eyes. They prayed to God and thanked Him for the rain and the rainbows. + +When they opened their eyes, they saw a big, bright rainbow in the sky. It had red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple colors. It was so beautiful! + +"Wow, Mira, look! A rainbow!" Sami said. + +"Wow, Sami, you are right! A rainbow!" Mira said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy and grateful. They ran to their house to tell their mama and papa about the rainbow. They also saw their chubby cat, Fluffy, waiting for them at the door. They petted Fluffy and gave him a kiss. They loved their cat, too. They had a good day. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with many feathers. The bird was on a branch and looked at them. + +"Hello, bird!" Sara said. "You are pretty. Can we touch your feathers?" + +The bird did not say anything. It was thoughtful. It did not like children. It wanted to be alone. + +Ben reached out his hand to the bird. He wanted to feel the feathers. He was curious. + +"Ben, no!" Sara said. "The bird may not like it. It may bite you." + +But Ben did not listen. He touched the feathers. The bird was angry. It opened its beak and bit Ben's finger. Ben cried out loud. He felt pain. + +Sara ran to Ben. She saw blood on his finger. She was scared. She hugged Ben and tried to help him. + +The bird flew away. It did not care. It was happy to be free. + +Sara and Ben shivered. They were cold and hurt. They wanted to go home. They looked for their mom. But their mom was not there. She had gone to the store. She had forgotten them. + +Sara and Ben were alone. They did not know what to do. They felt sad and lost. They wished they had never seen the bird. +Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and yellow and blue. It looked like a rainbow. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lila said. "I want to go in the balloon and see the land from up high." + +"Me too," Ben said. "Maybe we can ask the man to let us in." + +They ran to the balloon. The man was friendly. He smiled and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want to see the balloon?" + +"Yes, please," Lila and Ben said. + +"Okay, but you have to be careful. The balloon can rise very high and fast. You have to hold on tight and listen to me. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, we understand," Lila and Ben said. + +The man helped them in the basket. He gave them each a hat and a whistle. He said, "These are for safety. If you need help, blow the whistle and I will hear you. And the hat will keep you warm and protect you from the sun." + +"Thank you," Lila and Ben said. + +The man started the fire. The balloon began to rise. Lila and Ben were excited. They saw the park, the trees, the houses, the cars, and the people. They looked like toys. + +"This is amazing," Lila said. + +"I love it," Ben said. + +They rose higher and higher. They saw the clouds, the birds, the mountains, and the river. They looked like paintings. + +"This is beautiful," Lila said. + +"I wonder what else we can see," Ben said. + +They rose higher and higher. They saw the sun, the moon, the stars, and the other balloons. They looked like jewels. + +"This is magical," Lila said. + +"I wish we could stay here forever," Ben said. + +But then, something bad happened. The balloon hit a strong wind. It shook and spun. Lila and Ben were scared. They held on tight and blew their whistles. + +"Help, help!" they cried. + +The man heard them. He said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I will bring you down. Just stay calm and trust me." + +He turned off the fire. He pulled a rope. The balloon began to fall. Lila and Ben were still scared. They saw the land coming closer and closer. + +"Will we be okay?" Lila asked. + +"I hope so," Ben said. + +The balloon landed on a soft field. The man jumped out. He hugged Lila and Ben. + +"You are okay, you are okay," he said. "I'm sorry, that was a bad wind. It was not supposed to happen. Are you hurt?" + +"No, we are not hurt," Lila and Ben said. + +"Thank you, thank you," the man said. "You are very brave and smart. You did everything right. You are the best passengers I ever had." + +Lila and Ben smiled. They were happy. They were safe. They had a big adventure. They learned a lot. They thanked the man.

"These are our fish!" + +"No, no, dog!" Tom cries. "We need the money!" + +But the dog is strong. Ben and Tom are weak. The dog pushes them away. It takes the basket. It runs away with the fish. + +Ben and Tom are sad. They have no fish. They have no money. They go back to the lake. They try to catch more fish. But they are tired. They catch only a few fish. + +They sell the few fish to the people in the town. They get a little money for the fish. They buy some bread and milk. They go home. + +They tell their mom what happened. Their mom hugs them. She says, "I'm sorry, my boys. You did your best. Don't worry. Tomorrow will be a better day." +Lily and Sam like to design things. They use paper, crayons, scissors and glue to make pictures and shapes. Sometimes they design animals, sometimes they design houses, sometimes they design cars. + +One day, they decide to design a big kite. They use a long stick, a big sheet, some string and some ribbons. They draw a face on the sheet and cut out some eyes, a nose and a mouth. They tie the string to the stick and the sheet. They attach the ribbons to the bottom of the sheet. They are very proud of their kite. + +They take their kite to the field near their house. The field is green and wide.

Vroom, vroom! + +"Where are we going?" Sara asks. + +"We are going to the castle," Ben says. "We are going to marry there." + +"Marry?" Sara says. "What is marry?" + +"Marry is when you love someone and you say yes to them," Ben says. "Then you get a ring and a cake." + +"Oh," Sara says. "Do you love me?" + +"Yes, I do," Ben says. "Do you love me?" + +"Yes, I do," Sara says. + +They smile at each other. They hold hands. They say yes to each other. They pretend they have rings and a cake.
