They want to play with it. + +"Can I move the ball first?" Tom asks. + +"OK, but then you have to give it to me," Lily says. She is honest and fair. + +Tom nods and takes the ball. He rolls it on the grass. He kicks it in the air. He has fun. He does not want to give it to Lily. + +"Lily, it is your turn now. Give me the ball," Lily says. + +"No, it is mine. I found it. Go away," Tom says. He is not honest and fair. + +Lily is sad and angry. She tries to take the ball from Tom. They fight. They pull and push. They yell and cry. + +Then, a big dog comes.

They hope Mom will still buy them ice cream. +Anna was sick. She felt hot and tired. Her mom came to her bed with a thermometer. She put it in Anna's mouth and said, "This will tell me how hot you are. You have to be still and quiet for a little bit." + +Anna nodded and closed her eyes. She heard the thermometer beep. Her mom took it out and looked at it. She frowned and said, "Oh, Anna, you have a fever. You need some medicine and some water to make you feel better." + +She went to the kitchen and came back with a spoon and a cup. She gave Anna some medicine and some water.

Tommy said. + +"No, me first!" Anna said. + +They pushed and pulled each other. Their puppies barked and whined. + +"Stop!" a voice said. It was Mommy. She came to the slide. She looked at Tommy and Anna. She was not happy. + +"Why are you fighting?" she asked. + +"We both want to go first," Tommy said. + +"But you have to share," Mommy said. "You have to yield sometimes. That means you let the other one go first. Then you can take turns. That is how you be nice and fair." + +Tommy and Anna thought about it. They felt sorry. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and smiled. + +"Can we still play with our puppies?" Anna asked. + +"Of course," Mommy said. "But first, you have to go down the slide. Who wants to yield?" + +Tommy raised his hand.

Who put the sign there? Did they want to take their plants? + +They ran to their mom and showed her the sign. She looked at it and smiled. "Don't worry, my loves," she said. "This sign is from your dad. He wanted to surprise you. He put some special fertilizer on your seeds to help them grow faster. He also put the sign to keep the birds and squirrels away. He loves you and your plants very much." + +Tom and Lily were happy. They hugged their mom and thanked her. They ran back to their patch and saw that their seeds had sprouted.

They hoped he would see it when he came home. They were proud of their plants and their sign. +Lily was miserable. She had lost her favorite doll, Anna, at the park. She looked everywhere, but she could not find her. She cried and cried, and hugged her teddy bear. + +"Mommy, I want Anna!" she sobbed. + +"I know, sweetie, I know. But maybe someone else found her and took her home. Maybe they will take good care of her," Mommy said, trying to comfort her. + +"But I love Anna! She is my best friend! She has a pretty dress and a yellow head!" Lily said. + +Mommy hugged Lily and said, "I love you, Lily. And I have an idea. Why don't we go to the toy store and buy a new doll? Maybe you can find one that looks like Anna, or one that you like even more." + +Lily sniffed and nodded. She wiped her tears and followed Mommy to the car. They drove to the toy store and walked inside. Lily saw many dolls, but none of them looked like Anna. She felt sad again. + +Then, she saw something that made her eyes light up. It was a doll with a pretty dress and a yellow head, just like Anna. But it was not Anna. It was a different doll, with a different face and a different name. It was called Elsa. + +Lily ran to the doll and picked it up. She smiled and hugged it. + +"Mommy, look! It's Elsa! She is so beautiful!

They like to play and have fun. But sometimes they do not behave. They make a mess and do not listen to Mom and Dad. + +One day, Mom and Dad have to go out. They ask Grandma to watch Lily and Tom. Grandma is very nice. She brings some food for them. She says, "This is soup. It is good for you. Eat it and behave, please." + +Lily and Tom look at the soup. It is pale and thin. It does not smell good. They do not want to eat it. They want cookies and juice. They say, "No, thank you, Grandma. We do not like soup. Can we have something else?" + +Grandma shakes her head. She says, "No, you cannot. This is the only food I have. You have to eat it. It will make you strong and healthy.

They make a lot of noise. They do not behave. + +Grandma is sad and angry. She follows them to the living room. She says, "Lily and Tom, stop! You are being naughty. You have to eat your soup.

And maybe, if you finish it, I will give you a cookie and some juice." +Tim and Tom were two bears who liked honey very much. They lived in a big forest with many trees and flowers. One day, they found a big jar of honey in a picnic basket. They were very happy and wanted to eat it all. + +"Let's take the jar to our cave and share it," said Tim. + +"Good idea," said Tom. "But how can we carry it? It is very heavy and sticky." + +They tried to lift the jar, but it was too hard. They tried to roll it, but it was too slow. They tried to push it, but it was too slippery. + +They saw a big bike near the basket. It had two wheels and a basket on the front. + +"Look, a bike!" said Tim. "Maybe we can use it to move the jar." + +"Let's try," said Tom. "You sit on the bike and I put the jar in the basket." + +They did as they planned. Tim sat on the bike and Tom put the jar in the basket. The jar was very big and it did not fit well. It stuck out of the basket and made the bike wobble. + +"Be careful, Tim," said Tom. "Don't let the jar fall." + +"I will try, Tom," said Tim. "But the bike is hard to ride. It has pedals and a handle and a bell." + +Tim tried to pedal the bike, but he did not know how. He tried to steer the bike, but he did not know where. He tried to ring the bell, but he did not know why. + +The bike went faster and faster. It went out of the forest and onto the road. It went past cars and trucks and buses. It went towards a big city with many buildings and people. + +"Help, Tom," said Tim. "I don't like this. I want to go back to the forest." + +"Me too, Tim," said Tom. "But I don't know how to stop the bike. It is too fast and too scary." + +They saw a big bald man in a blue uniform. He had a hat and a badge and a whistle. He was a policeman. He saw the bike and the bears and the jar. He blew his whistle and waved his hand. + +"Stop, stop, you silly bears," he shouted. "You can't ride a bike on the road. You can't take a jar of honey from a picnic. You can't cause trouble in the city." + +He ran after the bike and tried to catch it. But he was too slow and the bike was too fast. He could not stop the bike and the bears and the jar. + +The bike reached a big bridge over a big river. It had a gate and a sign and a toll. The sign said "Pay here". The toll was one dollar. + +"Pay, pay, you silly bears," shouted the policeman. "You can't cross the bridge without paying. You can't cheat the toll. You can't escape the law." + +He ran after the bike and tried to stop it. But he was too late and the bike was too quick. He could not stop the bike and the bears and the jar. + +The bike went through the gate and onto the bridge. It had no rails and no sides and no safety. The bridge was very high and very narrow and very windy. + +"Look, Tom," said Tim. "We are on a bridge. It is very high and very narrow and very windy." + +"I see, Tim," said Tom. "But I don't like it. It is very dangerous and very scary and very bad." + +They felt the wind blow the bike and the jar. They felt the jar tilt and slide and fall. They felt the jar hit the water and splash and sink. + +"Bye, bye, honey," said Tim. + +"Bye, bye, honey," said Tom. + +They felt sad and hungry and sorry. They had lost their honey and their bike and their way. + +They looked at the policeman. He looked at them. He looked angry and stern and mean. + +"Hello, hello, you silly bears," he said. "You are in big trouble. You have broken the law and the bridge and the jar. You have to pay a fine and go to jail and say sorry." + +He took out a rope and a handcuff and a ticket. He tied the rope around the bike and the bears. He put the handcuff on their paws. He wrote the ticket and gave it to them. + +The ticket said "One thousand dollars". + +The end. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and games. But sometimes they fight over their toys. Mom and Dad tell them to share and be nice. + +One day, Tom and Lily are playing with their blocks. Tom wants to build a big tower. Lily wants to make a house. They start to argue. Tom says, "This is my block. Give it to me." Lily says, "No, this is my block. I need it for my house." They pull and tug on the block. They do not listen to each other. + +The block breaks in half. Tom and Lily are shocked. They look at the broken block. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "Oh no. We broke our block. We are sorry. We did not mean to break it." They hug each other. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise. They come to the room. They see the broken block. They see Tom and Lily hugging. They smile. They say, "We are glad you are sorry. We are glad you are hugging. We are glad you are listening to each other. We love you both. But next time, please be careful with your toys. They can break easily." + +Tom and Lily nod. They say, "We will be careful. We will share. We will be nice." They pick up the pieces of the block. They put them in a box. They say, "Maybe we can fix it later. Or maybe we can make something new with it." They smile. They play with their other blocks. They have fun. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the village, where they lived. One day, they saw a big truck. It was enormous. It had many wheels and a loud horn. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Ben said. "It is so big and noisy. Where is it going?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it is going to the city. The city has many big trucks and buildings." + +"Can we go to the city?" Ben asked. "I want to see more big trucks and buildings." + +Lily shook her head. "No, we can't go to the city. It is too far and dangerous. Mom and dad said so. We have to stay in the village. The village is safe and nice." + +"But the village is boring," Ben said. "There is nothing new to see or do. I want to have an adventure." + +Lily thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. "I know what we can do," she said. "We can pretend that the truck is a dragon. A dragon that came from the mountain. And we are the brave knights who have to stop it." + +Ben smiled. He liked to pretend. "Okay, let's do that," he said. "But how do we stop the dragon?" + +Lily looked around. She saw a stick and a stone. She picked them up. "We can use these as our sword and shield," she said. "We have to be careful and smart. The dragon is very strong and fast." + +Ben nodded. He also found a stick and a stone. He held them in his hands. "Ready?" he asked. + +"Ready," Lily replied. + +They ran towards the truck, shouting and waving their sticks and stones. They pretended that they were fighting the dragon. They had a lot of fun. They did not notice that the truck driver was watching them. He smiled and honked his horn. He liked to see the children play. He wished he could join them. He remembered when he was a child, and he also pretended to have adventures. He felt happy and sad at the same time. He started the engine and drove away. He waved goodbye to the children. They waved back. They did not know his name, but they liked him. He was their friend. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Sometimes they play with toys, sometimes they play outside, and sometimes they play with TV. + +One day, Anna and Ben go to Anna's house. Anna's mom says they can play with TV for a little bit.

He had no money to buy ice cream or candy. + +Tom and Lily wanted to help him. They ran to him and said, "Hello, mister. Why are you sad?" + +The man looked at them and smiled a little. He said, "Hello, kids. I'm sad because I lost my job. I have no money to pay for my house or my food. I don't know what to do." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for him. They wanted to make him happy. They had an idea. They said, "Mister, we have something for you. Wait here." + +They ran to the slide and climbed up. They had a secret stash of coins that they had saved from their piggy banks.

He was rich and wore a suit and a hat. He said the fountain was his and they had to go away. + +"Hey, you kids, get away from my fountain! This is private property! You are making a mess!" he said. + +Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They did not know what private property meant. They did not want to make a mess. They just wanted to play. + +"Sorry, mister, we didn't know. We won't touch your fountain again," Ben said. + +"Too late! You have to pay for the damage!

They started to cry. + +"Please, mister, don't take our things. We are sorry. We are just kids," Lily said. + +The man did not listen. He grabbed their toys and snacks and put them in his bag.

"Anna, that's very good, but do you know what happens to butterflies in jars?" + +Anna shakes her head. She doesn't know. + +"They can't breathe or fly or eat in jars. They get sick and die. They are happier in the air and on the flowers. Do you want your butterfly to be happy or sad?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She loves her butterfly, but she doesn't want it to be sad. She wants it to be happy. + +"I want it to be happy," she says. + +"Then you should let it go," her mom says. "You can still watch it and admire it, but from a distance. You can also draw it or take a picture of it. But you can't keep it in a jar." + +Anna understands. She opens the jar and lets the butterfly go. It flies out and flutters around her.

Why did you open this box? This is for the charity sale. You can't play with these things. They are not yours." + +Sara and Max paused. They looked at Sara's mom and then at each other. They felt bad. They did not know the box was for the charity sale. They did not mean to make a mess. + +"Sorry, mom," Sara said. "We wanted to make the box organized. We wanted to see what was inside. We did not know it was for the charity sale." + +Sara's mom sighed. She said, "It's okay, Sara. I know you were curious.

"Dad is a mechanic. He works on old cars. Maybe he took your car to fix it." + +They ran to the garage and searched for the car. They saw many old cars that Dad was working on. They saw wheels, wires, pipes, and tools. They saw Dad with a wrench and a rag. + +"Dad, Dad, have you seen my car?" Tom asked. "It is a red car with a big engine and a shiny horn. I can't find it anywhere." + +Dad looked at Tom and smiled. He reached behind his back and pulled out the car. It was Tom's car. It was clean and shiny.

It's pretty and red. I like it." + +Ben tried to grab the block from Lily, but she held it tight. They started to pull and tug and shout. The block slipped from their hands and flew in the air.

They pretend to be brave hunters in the forest. They look for animals to shoot with their soft arrows. Sometimes they hit a bird or a squirrel, but they do not hurt them. They just say "pow!" and laugh. + +One day, they find a big can of powder in the garage. They do not know what it is, but it looks like snow. They think it will be fun to use it in their game. They take some powder and put it in their arrows. They think it will make a big cloud when they shoot. + +They go back to the forest and look for a target. They see a wide tree with a hole in it. They think there might be an animal inside. They decide to shoot at the hole and see what happens. Sara goes first. She aims her bow and pulls the string.

He says they have to say sorry to the bear and the forest. He says they have to help him put out the fire and clean up the mess. + +Sara and Ben feel bad. They say sorry to dad, to the bear and to the forest. They help dad with the fire and the mess. They promise to never play with the powder again. They learn their lesson. They still like to play with their bows and arrows, but they only use soft arrows and say "pow!" in a quiet voice. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big yellow box in the park. They wonder what is inside. + +"Maybe it is a cake," Sara says. + +"Maybe it is a ball," Ben says. + +They open the box and see a lot of shiny things.

They hold each other's hands and look for a safe place. + +They find a policeman and tell him what happened. The policeman is kind and brave. He goes to the park and catches the man.

He said, "Abracadabra, alakazam, carrot appear!" He lifted the hat and saw the carrot. He was very proud of himself. He ran to the living room to show his family. + +He found his dad, his sister, and his dog on the couch. He said, "Hello, everyone! I have a special show for you. Watch this!"

You must be a real magician!" + +Tommy smiled and said, "Wow, thank you, dad! That's amazing!" He took the coin and put it on his shoulder. He said, "Look, I can balance it!" He felt happy again. He said, "Can I show you another trick?" His family said, "Yes, please!" They all cheered for him. He performed some more tricks and had fun with his family. He loved to perform for them. +Lily liked to question everything. She always asked her mom and dad why the sky was blue, why the grass was green, why the dog barked. She wanted to know more and more. + +One day, she saw a purple faucet in the park. She had never seen a faucet like that before. She ran to it and turned it on. She expected to see water, but instead she saw purple bubbles. They were big and shiny and smelled like grapes. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "What are these?" + +She heard a voice behind her. It was a boy with a purple hat and a purple coat. He smiled and said, "These are my bubbles. I made them with my magic faucet. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily was surprised and curious.

Ben said, grabbing the stick and the bucket. "But be careful, there might be sharks or crocodiles!" + +They ran into the water, splashing and laughing. They reached the rock and climbed on top of it. They looked around for the treasure. + +"Maybe it's under this shell," Mia said, lifting a big shell. "Or maybe it's in this hole," Ben said, poking a hole. They searched and searched, but they couldn't find anything shiny or sparkly. + +"This is a boring island," Mia said, throwing the shell away. "There's no treasure here." + +"Maybe it's hidden very well," Ben said, trying to cheer her up. "Maybe we need a map or a clue." + +"Or maybe we need a snap!" a voice said behind them. They turned around and saw a big crab with a red shell and two big claws. It was hiding under a seaweed. It looked angry and hungry. + +"A snap?" Mia asked, scared. + +"Yes, a snap!" the crab said, snapping its claws. "This is my island, and you are my lunch!" + +Ben and Mia screamed and jumped off the rock.

They scared the crab away and hugged Ben and Mia. + +"Are you okay, kids?" their mom asked. "What happened?" + +"We were playing pirates and we found a hidden island," Ben said. "But there was no treasure, only a mean crab." + +"A mean crab?" their dad asked. "That's not very nice." + +"No, it's not," Mia said. "It wanted to snap us." + +"Well, you're safe now," their mom said. "But maybe next time, you should play somewhere else." + +"Okay, mom," Ben and Mia said. "But can we keep the stick and the bucket?" + +"Sure, you can," their dad said. "But only if you share them." + +"Okay, dad," Ben and Mia said.

Lily said. + +"But it's so cool, the dragon is huge and scary!" Sam said. + +"Sam, stop it, you are spoiling the movie for me!" Lily said. + +"But I want to share with you, we are friends!" Sam said. + +"No, Sam, you are ruining the movie for me! I want to watch it and find out for myself!" Lily said. + +Lily was frustrated. She did not want to hear Sam's spoilers. She wanted to enjoy the movie. She paused the movie and turned to Sam. + +"Sam, I'm sorry, but you have to stop talking. If you can't, you have to go home. You are not being a good friend," Lily said. + +Sam was sad. He did not mean to upset Lily. He thought he was being helpful. He did not understand why Lily did not like spoilers. + +"Okay, Lily, I'm sorry. I will be quiet. I won't spoil the movie anymore. Can we still watch it together?" Sam said. + +Lily thought for a moment. She was still annoyed, but she did not want to lose Sam as a friend. She decided to give him another chance. + +"Okay, Sam, thank you. We can still watch it together. But you have to promise me, no more spoilers. Okay?" Lily said. + +"Okay, Lily, I promise. No more spoilers. I will just watch and listen. I want to be a good friend," Sam said. + +Lily smiled. She was glad that Sam apologized. She hoped that he would keep his promise. She pressed play and they watched the movie. They both had fun and learned something new. +Sam liked to polish his dad's books. He used a soft cloth and made them shiny. He liked the pictures and the letters on the covers.

He said, "That's a very special book, Sam. It's a novel, but it's also a legend. It tells stories of ancient heroes and adventures. Do you want me to read it to you?" + +Sam nodded and smiled. He gave the book to his dad and climbed on his lap. He said, "Yes, please, dad. I want to hear about the castle and the dragon and the king and the knights." + +His dad opened the book and began to read. Sam listened and looked at the pictures. He felt happy and curious.

They did not want to play with the dog. + +Lila said, "Let's hide behind the tree." Ben said, "No, let's climb on the slide." They did not agree. They ran in different ways. + +The dog followed Ben.

Film was thin and shiny and made funny noises when they pulled it. They liked to wrap film around their toys and make them look different. + +One day, they had a new idea. They wanted to see who could make the smallest toy with film. They were competitive and wanted to win. They took turns to wrap film around their toys and make them shrink. They used scissors to cut the film and tape to stick it. + +Ben wrapped film around his car and made it very small. He was happy and said, "Look, I made the smallest car!"

We can use the hair dryer to make the film loose and take it off. Then your toys will be big again." + +She took the hair dryer and blew hot air on the film. The film became loose and easy to take off. She helped Ben and Mia to unwrap their toys and make them big again. They were happy and said, "Thank you, mom! You saved our toys!"

He wanted to help Lily. But the bee was angry. It chased Lily and Tom. They ran to the bench. They hid behind it. + +"Go away, bee!" Tom shouted. + +The bee did not listen. It wanted the flower. It flew over the bench. It saw the flower in Lily's hand. + +Lily saw the bee too. She was sorry. She threw the flower away. She hoped the bee would leave them alone. + +The bee saw the flower. It flew to it. It forgot about Lily and Tom. It was happy. + +Lily and Tom peeked from behind the bench. They saw the bee on the flower. They were relieved. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asked. + +Lily nodded. She was okay. She was brave. + +"Thank you, Tom," Lily said. + +Tom smiled. He was glad. + +They hugged. They were friends. They were quiet.

They are your other grandma and grandpa, and your uncle and aunt. They live far away. We do not see them often." + +Anna and Ben are curious. They say, "Why do they live far away? Why do we not see them often?" Mom sighs. She says, "They live in another country. They have a different language and culture. We do not agree on many things. Sometimes we argue and fight. Sometimes we do not talk at all. It is sad and bitter." + +Anna and Ben do not understand. They say, "But they are family. Family should love each other. Family should be nice and kind.

I will count to ten and then I will find you." She crawls inside the box and says, "I am the queen and this is my castle. I will count to ten and then I will find the king." She starts to count, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" She opens the box and looks around. She does not see Tom anywhere. She wonders where he is. She walks around the room and says, "Where are you, king? I can't find you." + +Tom is hiding under the table. He thinks he is very clever. He says to himself, "The queen will never find me here. I am the best at hiding." He waits for Sue to come near him. He wants to surprise her. + +But then he hears a loud noise. It is his mom. She comes into the room and says, "Tom, Sue, what are you doing? It is time for lunch. Come and eat your sandwiches." She sees the box and the toys on the floor.

I don't like it." Ben said. + +Anna looked around. She saw a big tree with many leaves. She had an idea. + +"Come, Ben. I know a place. We can hide there." Anna said. + +She took Ben's hand and ran to the tree. They found a hole under the roots. It was dry and cozy. They crawled inside. They felt safe. + +They waited for the storm to pass.

Let's ask Mom," Tom said. + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They pointed at the bird. + +"Mom, what kind of bird is that?" Tom asked. + +"That's a goose, Tom. A goose is a bird that flies very far," Mom said. + +"Where does it fly to?" Lily asked. + +"It flies to the west, Lily. The west is where the sun goes down. The goose flies to the west when it gets cold here," Mom said. + +"Why does it fly to the west?" Tom asked. + +"Because it's warmer there, Tom. The goose likes to be warm and find food. If it stays here, it might get dead," Mom said. + +"Get dead? What does that mean?" Lily asked. + +"Get dead means stop living, Lily. When something gets dead, it doesn't move or breathe or feel anymore. It's very sad," Mom said. + +"Oh, I don't want the goose to get dead. I want it to be happy and fly to the west," Lily said. + +"Me too, Lily. Me too," Tom said. + +They watched the goose fly away. They waved and said goodbye.

They want him to be happy and play with them. They ask, "Mom, can we do something for Spot? Can we make him feel better?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can. You can give him a lot of love and care. You can talk to him, pet him, and keep him warm. You can tell him how much you appreciate him and thank him for being your friend. He will hear you and feel your love." + +Sara and Tom nod. They go back to Spot and sit by his bed. They take turns to stroke his fur, kiss his head, and whisper in his ear.

This is the best gift ever. You are very kind and generous. You should celebrate your success. You worked hard and you made something wonderful." + +Mira and her mom celebrated by making a cake and putting the sunflower on top. They invited their friends and neighbors to share the cake and admire the sunflower. Everyone praised Mira and her mom for their sunflower. Mira felt proud and happy. She learned that growing things takes time and care, but it is worth it. She also learned that sharing things makes them more special. She decided to grow more sunflowers and give them to more people. She wanted to spread joy and brightness like the sunflowers. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park.

The harbor was not a safe place for little girls. There were many harsh noises and smells, and some people were not nice. They had to hold hands and stay close. + +They walked to the harbor and found a boat that was giving rides. Lily was excited. She climbed on the boat with her mom and sat down. The boat started to move. Lily felt the wind and the water on her face. She saw the other boats and the birds and the buildings. She learned a lot of new things. + +But then, the boat went too fast. Lily felt scared. The boat made a loud sound and bumped into another boat. Lily and her mom fell down. They were not hurt, but they were wet and cold. They got off the boat and went back to the shore. + +Lily was sad. She did not like the boat ride. She wanted to go home. Her mom hugged her and said it was okay. They had learned something new, but not everything was fun. Sometimes, things were harsh. They had to be brave and try again. + +They walked home and had some hot chocolate. Lily felt better.

Their mom and dad are glad that they are safe, but they also scold them for going into the woods without permission. They tell them to never do that again, and to always stay with Spot. Sara and Tom say sorry and promise to be more careful. They love Spot and think he is the best dog ever. +Sara liked to play with her toy dragon. She named him Bob and gave him a red scarf. She would smile and hug him every day. She pretended that Bob could talk and fly and breathe fire. + +One day, Sara and Bob went to the park with her mom. Sara saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She left Bob on a bench and ran to the slide. She climbed up the ladder and slid down fast. She laughed and felt happy. + +But when she went back to the bench, Bob was gone. She looked around and saw a boy holding him. The boy was bigger and meaner than Sara. He had a bad smile on his face. + +"Hey, that's my dragon!" Sara shouted. She ran to the boy and tried to grab Bob. + +"No, it's mine now!" the boy said. He pushed Sara away and ran to his bike. He put Bob in his basket and rode away. + +Sara cried and screamed.

I was wrong." + +Mom says, "I'm glad you told me the truth, Tom. But you should have listened to Sam. He was trying to help you. You should have yielded to him. He is your brother and he loves you. The grill is not a toy. It is for cooking food. Sometimes, Dad puts fat meat on it. It makes a lot of fire and smoke. It can burn you. You have to be careful and stay away from it." + +Tom says, "I understand, Mom. I'm sorry. I will be careful and stay away from the grill. I will yield to Sam. He is my brother and he loves me." + +Mom says, "That's good, Tom. I love you too. Now, let's have some ice cream. It will make you feel better." +Lily had a zip on her dress. She liked to zip it up and down. It made a funny sound. Zip, zip, zip. + +One day, she played with her zip too much. It got stuck. She pulled and pulled, but it did not move. She felt sad and mad. She wanted to take off her dress. + +She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, help me! My zip is stupid. It does not work." + +Her mom looked at her dress. She saw the problem. The zip was too small for the dress. Lily had grown too big. She needed a new dress. + +She said, "Lily, you are not stupid. You are smart and beautiful. And you are growing so fast. That is why your zip is stuck. It is too small for you. Let me help you take off your dress. Then we can go to the store and buy you a new one. A bigger one. With a bigger zip. How does that sound?" + +Lily smiled. She felt happy and loved. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love big zips. Zip, zip, zip." +Lily and Ben were best friends.

One was kind and helpful, while the other was very selfish. + +The kind figure said to the selfish one, "Let's go play together!" + +But the selfish one didn't want to share, and said in a mean voice, "No way! It's all mine!" + +The kind figure was sad, and kept asking the selfish one to share. But the selfish one kept saying no, again and again. + +Finally, the kind figure got angry and said, "I won't meet with someone as selfish as you are!" + +The selfish one just laughed, and never played with the kind figure again. The kind figure was alone, and didn't know anyone else to play with. + +The End. +Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was only three years old and she loved to ride in her mom’s car.

The little girl gave her mom a big hug and said, “Can I have one more ride in the cart before we go?†Her mom said, “Of course you can!†+ +The little girl waved goodbye to the market and settled into the cart for her final ride. Suddenly the little girl realized how tired she was and she snuggled up to her mom, who carried her back to the car. + +Then they drove home and the little girl went off to dream sweet dreams of her cool adventure at the market. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy. He wanted to climb a big hill. He asked his mum, "Can I go and play on the hill?" His mum said, "Yes, but don't forget, if you get tired, come back and finish your game." The boy was very excited. He ran all the way up the hill and back down again. + +When the boy got to the top of the hill, he saw a tasty apple. The apple looked so delicious that the boy wanted to eat it. But the boy remembered what his mum had said - he had to finish it. So, he picked the apple and carefully brought it down the hill. + +When the boy got home, his mum was so proud of him. She said, "You remembered to finish the game and bring the apple for us to share. That was very nice of you." The boy was very happy. + +The moral of the story is that we must always remember to finish what we started. +One day, a boy and a girl went out for a walk. They went to the park to play. When they got to the park, they saw a strong desk. + +The boy said "Let's make something with the desk". +The girl said "Yes, let's make a house". + +The boy and the girl worked hard together.

Alina and her mom were both surprised. + +Alina's mom asked, "What do you want to do with the money, Alina?" + +Alina thought for a moment and said, "I want to thank the old man for the money. We can give it away and make him happy!" + +Alina and her mom thanked the old man with the money, and they all smiled as they said goodbye. Alina and her mom were so proud of their act of kindness. + +The moral of this story is to always be thankful and show kindness to others, no matter how small it is.

You can't just take something that doesn't belong to you." + +Dill persisted and begged, but Cody refused and stayed strong. Finally, Dill realized that it wasn't right to take something that didn't belong to him. + +"I want to make something of my own, instead," Dill said. + +Cody smiled, proud of his friend's decision. + +The two boys worked together and made a motor of their own. It was a cool motor just like the one they saw. + +The moral of the story is that we should make something of our own instead of taking something that doesn't belong to us. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved to create things. One day, he ran to his mom and said "Mommy, I just made a new thing!". His mom smiled and said "That's great! What did you make?". + +The little boy answered "I don't know what it is. It looks like a dead fish. I don't know why I made it." His mom laughed and said "It's okay! You can create lots of different things." + +The little boy was excited. He thought about all the different things he could create. He dreamed of making a toy car, a boat, and even a castle! But the little boy knew that he couldn't make all those things right away. + +So the little boy smiled and said "I will try to create a new thing every day!". His mom smiled back and said "That's a great idea." + +The little boy went back to his room and started creating all kinds of things. He exchanged stories with his friends about all the things he had made. And every day he created something new and exciting! +Once there was a boy called Joe. He was very alert and wanted to learn new things every day. One day Joe asked his mom about math. His mom said, "Math is for everyone, Joe."

I'm a friendly dragon," said the dragon. +The brave knight was relieved, but he still held his sword just in case. +The dragon thanked him for freeing him from the egg, and then they became best friends! From that day on, they had lots of fun adventures together. + +The End. +Once upon a time there was a little boy who liked to dress himself. Every morning he would wake up, pull on his clothes and proudly declare, "I dressed myself!"

Now, when you come downstairs, I want you to dress something else- breakfast!" + +The little boy nodded and raced downstairs to dress up his breakfast. He put berries in a bowl, added yogurt and cereal and proudly set it down. + +Mom smiled and said, "That looks delicious! I'm so proud of you for being so creative and dressing your breakfast. You can dress anything you like!" + +The little boy smiled and said, "I dressed myself, tray and breakfast - what else can I dress?!" +One day, Lisa and her family were celebrating a special day. Lisa asked her Mom, "What are we celebrating?". Mom smiled and said, "We are celebrating something very special. Look out the window". + +So Lisa looked, and she saw an impressive zebra.

One day, while she was walking around the park, she saw a cable lying on the ground. It looked very dirty and she was curious to find out what it was. She bent down and touched it, but it felt cold and a little bit slimy! + +Lina stood up and said, “Yuck! This cable is dirty!†+ +She carefully picked it up and looked at it carefully. It looked like it had wires inside it and it had some writing on one side that said ‘Toy Phone’. + +Suddenly, a nearby voice said, “That’s my cable! I dropped it when I was playing with my toy phone.†+ +Lina looked around and saw a boy her age holding a toy phone in one hand and a toy spaceship in the other. She smiled and said “Oh! That’s your cable! Here you go.†+ +The boy smiled and thanked her. He said “You’re so kind! Now I can play with my toy phone again!†+ +Lina smiled and said, “You’re welcome!†+ +Then they continued on their separate ways, happy to have helped each other. +Once, a little girl was eager to go outside to play. She asked her mum, "Can I go outside, mum?" +Mum suggested that she play in the garden, as the air was nice and fresh. The little girl went outside and ran around, feeling the cool breeze on her face. + +She then noticed a thorny bush and she instinctively stepped away, tugging her arm back quickly. But it was too late; a prick of pain shot up her arm from where the thorn had pierced her skin. She knew it was time to go inside. + +Mum was expecting her and already had a band-aid and a plaster ready for her. She examined the little girl's arm and cut off the thorn. + +The little girl was grateful for her mum and had learnt an important lesson about nature. She was more careful the next time she went out, as her mum had suggested. +One day, two police officers were walking down the street. Suddenly, they heard a noise coming from a nearby house. The police went to investigate. They knocked on the door, and out popped a 3 year old boy. + +"What's wrong?" the police asked. + +"My toy," the boy said. "It's very flexible but it broke." + +The police saw that the boy was sad and wanted to help him. They found some glue and mended the toy together. + +"There you go," one of the officers said. "Now your toy should heal on its own." + +The boy looked at their repair job with a wide smile. + +"Thank you police," he said. "I never knew you could be so flexible!" + +The officers laughed and waved goodbye. The boy watched them go, a huge grin on his face as he hugged his mended toy. +John and Jen were best friends. One day, John wanted to pretend to make dinner. He asked Jen for help. + +John said to Jen, "Let's make a pretend dinner together." + +Jen smiled and said, "Okay! What should we do first?" + +John said, "We need a pretend dish." + +The friends thought and thought of what a pretend dish might look like. Finally, they decided to use a small box and pretend it was a dish. + +John smiled as he put things in the pretend dish. He put in some small rocks and a few sticks. + +Jen smiled and said, "That looks so good! Let's pretend it's dinner." + +The two friends pretended to eat the pretend dinner. Then they laughed and hugged each other. They had so much fun playing together. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Jack and Jill. They were both three years old. One day, Jack and Jill decided to have a race. Jack ready, set, and then yelled, "Go!" + +The two of them started to run. Both friends quickly reached the finish line, but they tied! + +Jill suggested that they try something else. She said, "Let's go to the garden and scoop some clay. We can then make dolls!" + +Jack and Jill went to the garden. They each scooped up a handful of clay. Jill's clay was black and Jack's was green. + +The two friends spent the day making their dolls.

Why are all these things out of the plastic box?†+ +Jimmy said, “I was only playing. I was curious and wanted to see what was inside the boxâ€. + +His mother smiled and said, “Well next time, wait until we get back and then you can open it togetherâ€. + +Jimmy nodded, apologising for his mistake. The little boy had learned a valuable lesson - to not be so curious and always wait for his parents to come back before he opened anything. +Jill opened the door and saw a pen on the floor. She was confused. Where did the pen come from? She had never seen this type of pen before. + Jill looked around her house and didn't see anyone. She walked over to the pen and opened it.

She thought for a moment and then said, "I wish for a puppy!" + +Just then, the door opened and there stood a puppy! + +Jill was so happy! She had never seen such a cute puppy before. She hugged the puppy and thanked the magical pen. + +"You're welcome!" said the magical pen. "Now, open me and make your next wish!" +Once upon a time, there was a little girl and she had a plan. She wanted to become wild. + +She knew she had to find the right fuel, so she went to the park and started to look. Everywhere she looked, she found something different. She found feathers, leaves, and even a squirrel. + +Then, she saw it. The perfect fuel! It was an old stick she found. She picked it up and said, "This is it!" + +Suddenly, she heard a voice. It was an old man, and he asked, "What are you going to do with that stick?" + +The little girl thought for a moment. Then, she said, "I'm going to become wild!" And with that, she ran off, twirling the stick in the air. + +From that day, she became wilder and wilder. She ran through the park, laughed and sang, and played games with nothing but her stick. + +The old man watched her, and smiled. He knew she had the right fuel for her journey. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy who wanted to know all about engines. He asked everyone he met to explain one to him. + +One day, an old man said he finally had an explanation. He told the boy that he would tell him all about engines, but only if the boy followed him into the woods. The boy was so eager to learn, he followed without hesitation. + +After they had been walking for a while, they came to a really old-looking house. It creaked with every step they took and the little boy began to feel nervous. The old man assured him that he was being silly and that inside the house, he'd learn all about engines. + +Once inside the house, it was very dark. But the old man smiled and said he knew just how to light it up. He explained how engines worked and how they could create electricity. He showed the boy how he could turn on all the lights in the house with the engine and the boy smiled, feeling a little less scared. + +But then the old man did something crazy. He used the engine to suddenly create a fire and the house was engulfed in flames.

They walked for a long time before the man stopped in front of a shady looking house. + +"We're here," the man said with a smile. + +Dolly didn't understand. She didn't feel safe. She wanted to go home. But before she could turn around, the man grabbed her arm and dragged her inside. + +The man locked the door, and Dolly never got to go home again. She was scared and confused, and she cried for days.

It was stealing all the food from the nearby garden! +Jack yelled at it, "What are you doing?! Stop!" +The furry creature looked at him and said, "I'm hungry and the food in this garden is delicious." +Jack thought it was disgusting that the creature was stealing food, so he chased it away. + +The next day, the sound was gone and the garden was safe. +The end. +Once upon a time there was a brown bear. He was walking through the woods one day and saw a way that looked very interesting. He started walking down the pathway and it got narrower and narrower until he felt like he was getting smaller and smaller. The bear knew he was shrinking! + +He looked around for a way to get bigger again and saw a small door with a sign that said "Magic Door". He opened the door and found a kind old lady inside. + +The bear said to the old lady, "Can you help me get bigger?" + +The old lady smiled and said, "of course I can! Just close your eyes and think 'I want to get bigger'. + +The bear closed his eyes and thought 'I want to get bigger'. Suddenly he felt his body growing and growing until he was back to full size. The bear said to the old lady, "Thank you! I'm so glad I'm big again!" + +The old lady replied, "You're very welcome, brown bear! You can always come back and visit if you ever shrink again." + +The bear smiled and ran off, feeling very thankful to the old lady.

He felt so alone and sad. + +After a while, a kind man found the puppy and took him home. He gave the puppy food and a warm place to sleep. But the man was very poor, so he couldn't afford to buy the puppy a nice bed. He found a cheap blanket and put it on the ground. The puppy was still very sad and continued to weep. + +Suddenly, a miracle happened. A kind woman who lived nearby heard about the little puppy and decided to take him home with her. She was very gentle and kind and the puppy knew that he can trust her. She bought him the best bed, lots of delicious treats and even went for long walks with him.

They were so excited and gobbled up everything they saw. + +Then, suddenly, a fierce-looking animal stepped out from behind the tree. It roared ferociously, making it clear that it was hungry too and wanted some food. Tim and Tom were so scared, they froze and stopped eating. + +The animal said, "I can smell your picnic. Can I have some of it?" Tim and Tom looked at each other, not sure what to do. The animal was so fierce, but it was also hungry. Finally, Tom said, "Yes, you can have some. We don't want our food to rot!" + +The animal took a few bites, then said, "Thank you friends, this was very tasty!" and ran off. Tim and Tom finished their picnic and went home, happy they could help the animal. +Once upon a time, there was a nosy little boy.

Your x-ray shows that your fear is gone now!†The boy smiled, feeling happy that he was not feeling frightened anymore. + +The moral of the story is that facing our fears can be scary, but when we do so, we can experience tremendous relief.

"Can't you see?" + +Teddy couldn't resist asking more questions. +"Are these flowers for me?" + +The rabbit sighed. "No," he said, "they're not for you." + +Teddy wanted to take one of the flowers, so he tried to pull it off the tree. The rabbit shouted, "No, Teddy! Don't do that!

"Do you know why it's special?" + +Chloe shook her head. + +Mummy smiled. "It's special because it's full of value. See this little buckle in the middle? That's what makes it so special." + +Chloe looked at the buckle and her eyes widened with excitement. "Wow, it's beautiful," she exclaimed. + +"Yes, it is. It's really valuable, so you need to be careful with it.

We can share secrets, laugh together and they are always kind and understanding." + +The bird seemed wise too. She told Jack, "Remember to be kind and tell the truth. A kind heart and honest lips always make the best friends!" Jack thanked the bird and hopped off to his friend's house. + +When Jack arrived, he was welcomed warmly.

She was feeling careless and didn't want to go. + +"Please Lucy, get out of the car," her mom asked. + +But Lucy still refused. She crossed her arms and said, "No!" + +Her mom was not happy. She got out of the car and went to the picnic without Lucy. + +Lucy was left feeling sad and lonely.
