Envy is a bad feeling that can make you do bad things and hurt others. Sharing is a good feeling that can make you do good things and help others. I love you both very much. Now, let's see if we can fix Lily's doll. Maybe we can use some glue and a scale to put her head back on. A scale is a thing that can tell you how heavy something is.

Grandma said it was an elevator. It could take them up and down. + +"Can we go in the elevator, Grandma?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but only with me. The elevator can be mysterious.

She knew they had used her perfume. She was not angry, but she wanted to teach them something. + +"Perfume is nice, but you don't need to use too much. It can make some people sneeze or feel sick. And you don't want to waste it, either. It is very expensive," she said. + +She gave them a tissue and told them to wipe off some of the perfume. + +"Here, this is enough. You still smell lovely, but not too strong," she said. + +She also gave them a hug and a kiss. + +"I recommend you to be slow when you use perfume. A little bit goes a long way.

They see a sofa, a table, a lamp and a phone. They hear a noise from upstairs. + +"What is that?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know," Lily says. "Maybe we should call for help." + +They run to the phone and pick it up. They try to dial a number, but the phone is broken. They hear the noise again. It sounds like a growl. + +"Run!" Lily shouts. + +They drop the phone and run to the door. They see a big dog blocking their way. The dog is angry and barks at them. + +"Help!"

He is not happy. + +"What are you doing in my house?" he asks. + +"We are sorry, sir," Tom and Lily say. "We just wanted to see what is inside.

"Frogs are useful. They eat bugs and make sounds." + +Sara and Ben nod. They follow the frog. They try to catch it. They are careful and quiet. The frog is fast and slippery. It jumps and hides. Sara and Ben look and look. They see the frog under a flower. They reach for it. The frog hops away. + +"Oops, we lost it!" Ben says. He is sad. + +"That's okay, Ben," Sara says. She hugs him. "We can see other things. Look, there is a butterfly!" + +Sara and Ben see the butterfly. It is colorful and pretty. It flies and lands on a flower. Sara and Ben smile. They forget the frog.

How do you like that?" + +Jen and Ben felt very cold in their hearts. They wanted to cry and yell. But they did not. They looked at each other and at their friends. They had an idea. They said, "Rex, you are very mean. You spoiled our instruments, but you can't spoil our music. We don't need instruments to play. We have our voices and our hands. We can still sing and clap and make music. And we have something you don't have. We have each other. We are a band. And we are not afraid of you." + +They started to sing a song they had learned at school. It was a song about being brave and kind and happy. They sang loud and clear. They clapped their hands and stomped their feet. They smiled and hugged. Their parents and neighbors came and joined them. They sang and clapped and stomped too. They cheered and clapped for the band. They booed and hissed at Rex. Rex felt very small and alone. He ran away with his bag. He never bothered them again. + +Jen and Ben and their friends were very proud and happy. They had played their music and made everyone happy. They had not let Rex spoil their show.

We can put the patch over the hole in the ball. We can tie the kite to the ball. We can throw the ball and the kite in the air. We can watch them fly." + +Lily says, "That sounds fun. Let's try it." + +They do what Ben says. They unite the ball and the kite with a patch. They throw the ball and the kite in the air. They watch them fly.

She wanted to surprise her mom, so she quickly got into the drawer and closed it. She waited for her mom to come and find her. + +But her mom did not come. Anna heard her mom talking on the phone in the kitchen. She heard her say, "I have to go to the store for a few minutes. Can you watch Anna for me?" + +Anna felt scared.

The marble soared up, up, up in the air. Lily was happy and proud. She waited for the marble to come down. + +But the marble did not come down. It flew out of the window and hit a bird.

He fixed the car and hugged mom, Lily, and Tom. He said, "I'm sorry for the delay, but I'm glad you had fun. Are you ready to go to the zoo now?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and smiled. They put their toys and snacks back in their case. They thanked dad and got in the car. They were happy and excited again. They said, "We love you, mom and dad. Let's go to the zoo!" +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bush with red berries. They want to pick some berries and eat them. + +"Look, Ben, berries!" Anna says. "They look yummy!" + +"Yes, let's get some!" Ben says. He stands on his toes and reaches for a berry. He picks it and puts it in his mouth. + +"Mmm, sweet!" he says. + +Anna stands on her toes too. But she is too short. She cannot reach the berries. + +"Ben, help me!" she says. "I want a berry too!" + +Ben looks at Anna. He sees more berries on the bush. He wants them all for himself. + +"Sorry, Anna, I can't help you," he says. "There are not enough berries for both of us." + +He picks more berries and eats them. He does not share with Anna. + +Anna is upset. She feels sad and angry. She does not like Ben anymore. She walks away from him. + +"Anna, wait!" Ben says. He sees that Anna is leaving. He feels sorry for what he did. He realizes that he was greedy and mean. + +"Anna, I'm sorry," he says. "I was wrong. Please come back. I will share the berries with you." + +But Anna does not hear him. She is too far away. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. + +Ben is upset too. He feels lonely and guilty. He wishes he had been nice to Anna. He learns that sharing is better than keeping. He hopes that Anna will forgive him. He hopes that they can be friends again. +Lily and Ben were playing with a basketball in the park. They liked to bounce it and throw it to each other. Sometimes they tried to make it go into the hoop, but it was too high for them. + +"Look, a bird!" Lily said, pointing to the sky. She saw a big black bird with a long tail. It was flying very fast and making loud noises. + +"What is it?" Ben asked, looking up too. He felt scared of the bird. It looked mean and strong. + +"It's a crow," Lily said. She had learned about crows from a book. "They are harmless. They just like to fly and find food. They won't hurt us." + +"Are you sure?" Ben said. He still felt nervous. He held the basketball close to him. + +"Yes, I'm sure," Lily said. She smiled and threw the basketball to Ben. "Let's play some more. Maybe we can fly like the crow someday." + +Ben caught the basketball and smiled back. He felt better. He threw the basketball to Lily. They laughed and played until it was time to go home. They liked the crow, but they liked the basketball more. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to help Mom with the laundry. Mom gives them a basket of clean clothes to fold. Sara and Ben take the basket to their room. + +Sara picks up a thick sweater. It is blue and soft. She admires the sweater. She says, "This is a nice sweater. It is warm and cozy. I want to wear it." + +Ben picks up a thick sock. It is red and striped. He admires the sock. He says, "This is a funny sock. It is bright and long. I want to wear it." + +Sara and Ben try to put on the sweater and the sock. But they are too big for them. The sweater covers Sara's head. The sock covers Ben's foot and leg. They look silly. They laugh. + +Mom comes to their room. She sees Sara and Ben in the thick clothes. She smiles. She says, "You two are very cute. But those are not your clothes. Those are Daddy's clothes. He will wear them when he comes home." + +Sara and Ben take off the sweater and the sock. They fold them and put them in the basket. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We like Daddy's clothes. They are thick and nice. We admire them." + +Mom hugs Sara and Ben. She says, "I'm glad you admire Daddy's clothes. He will be happy to hear that. But you have your own clothes too. They are also thick and nice. And they fit you better. Let's find them and wear them." +Lila and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. But Lila wanted to see the gorilla. She liked gorillas because they were big and strong and had funny faces. + +They walked to the gorilla house and looked inside. There was a big gorilla sitting on a rock. He looked sad and bored. His fur was dull and dirty. He did not play or move. He just stared at the wall. + +Lila felt sorry for the gorilla. She wanted to make him happy. She had a shiny red ball in her backpack. She asked Mom if she could give it to the gorilla. Mom said yes, but be careful. Lila took out the ball and threw it over the fence. It landed near the gorilla. + +The gorilla saw the ball. He was curious. He reached out and touched it. It was smooth and round and bright. He picked it up and rolled it in his hands. He smiled and made a happy sound. He threw the ball in the air and caught it. He bounced it on the ground and chased it. He had fun with the ball. + +Lila and Ben clapped and cheered. They were glad the gorilla liked the ball. The gorilla looked at them and nodded. He seemed to say thank you. He held the ball close to his chest. His fur was not dull anymore. It shone in the sun. Lila smiled and waved. She felt happy too. She had made a new friend. +Lila was a little fish who lived in a big pond. She liked to swim and play with her friends, but she had a problem. She had a smelly scale on her tail that made her itch and hurt. She did not know how she got it, but she wanted it to go away. + +One day, she saw a big frog who was sitting on a rock. She thought he might know how to help her. She swam up to him and said, "Hello, Mr. Frog. I have a smelly scale on my tail that makes me suffer. Do you know how to make it better?" + +The frog looked at her and said, "Yes, I do. I can eat it for you. Then you will not suffer anymore." He opened his mouth wide and tried to catch her. + +Lila was scared and swam away as fast as she could. She realized that the frog was not a friend, but a foe. She said, "No, thank you, Mr. Frog. You are not nice. You are mean. You want to eat me, not help me." + +She kept swimming until she found her friends. They saw her smelly scale and felt sorry for her. They said, "Don't worry, Lila. We will help you. We know a wise turtle who lives in the pond. He knows many things. Maybe he can help you." + +They took her to the turtle, who was old and kind. He looked at her smelly scale and said, "I know what this is. It is a fungus. It grows on fish who do not keep clean. You need to wash your tail with fresh water and salt. Then you need to dry it in the sun. Do this every day for a week, and your smelly scale will go away." + +Lila thanked the turtle and did what he said. She washed her tail with fresh water and salt, and dried it in the sun. She did this every day for a week, and her smelly scale went away. She was happy and did not suffer anymore. She swam and played with her friends, and stayed away from the frog. She learned to keep clean and to be careful of who she asked for help. +Mia had a new friend at school. Her name was Lily and she liked to play with dolls and blocks. Mia wanted to introduce Lily to her best friend, Crystal. Crystal was not a girl, but a dog. She was a big, fluffy dog with brown fur and blue eyes. Mia loved Crystal very much and Crystal was loyal to Mia. + +One day, Mia asked her mom if she could bring Lily home after school. Her mom said yes, but she warned Mia to be careful with Crystal. She said that Crystal was not used to strangers and might be scared or angry. Mia said she understood and promised to be gentle and kind. + +When Mia and Lily got home, they saw Crystal in the yard. She was running and barking happily. Mia called her name and Crystal came to her. Mia hugged her and said, "Crystal, this is Lily. She is my new friend. Lily, this is Crystal. She is my best friend." Lily smiled and said hello to Crystal. She reached out her hand to pet her, but Crystal growled and snapped at her. Lily screamed and pulled back her hand. Mia was shocked and scared. She said, "Crystal, no! Bad dog! Why did you do that?" Crystal looked at Mia with sad eyes and whimpered. + +Mia's mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw what happened and said, "Oh no, I'm so sorry, Lily. Are you okay?" She checked Lily's hand and saw that it was not bleeding, but it was red and sore. She said, "Let's go inside and put some ice on it. It will feel better soon." She took Lily by the hand and led her to the house. Mia followed them, feeling guilty and confused. + +Mia's mom explained to Lily that Crystal was not a bad dog, but she was very protective of Mia. She said that Crystal had been with Mia since she was a baby and they had a special bond. She said that Crystal needed time and patience to get used to new people and trust them. She said that Mia and Lily could still be friends, but they had to be careful and respectful with Crystal. She said that maybe one day, Crystal would accept Lily as a friend too. + +Lily said she understood and she was not mad at Crystal. She said she still liked Mia and wanted to play with her. She said she hoped Crystal would like her too. Mia said she was sorry and she thanked Lily for being so nice. She said she hoped Crystal would learn to like Lily too. She said she loved Crystal, but she also loved Lily. She said they were both her friends. Mia's mom smiled and said, "That's very sweet, Mia. You are a good friend to both of them. Maybe you can introduce them again another day, when Crystal is more calm and ready." Mia nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will try." She hugged Lily and said, "I'm glad you are my friend, Lily." Lily hugged her back and said, "I'm glad you are my friend, Mia." They smiled and went to play with their dolls and blocks. Crystal watched them from the window and wagged her tail. She felt a little bit curious and a little bit jealous. She wondered if she could be their friend too. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together at school. Today, they have to study for a test. The test is about animals and their sounds. + +Sara and Ben sit at a table with their books. Sara points to a picture of a cow. "What does a cow say?" she asks Ben. + +Ben thinks hard. He remembers the sound. "A cow says moo!" he says. + +Sara smiles. "Good job, Ben! Now, what does a duck say?" + +Ben knows this one too. "A duck says quack!" he says. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They know the sounds of the animals. They think they will do well on the test. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is the rain. The rain is falling hard on the roof. The rain makes a lot of noise. Sara and Ben cannot hear each other. + +Sara tries to ask Ben another question. But Ben cannot hear her. He says, "What? What did you say?" + +Sara repeats the question. But Ben still cannot hear her. He says, "I can't hear you, Sara! The rain is too loud!" + +Sara and Ben are sad. They want to study, but they cannot. They do not like the rain. The rain is ruining their study time. + +They look out the window. They see the raindrops on the glass. They see the puddles on the ground. They see the clouds in the sky. + +They wish the rain would stop. They wish the sun would come out. They wish they could have a perfect day. A perfect day to study and play. +Sara and Ben were playing with their dolls in the living room. Sara had a big doll with long hair and a pink dress. Ben had a small doll with short hair and a blue shirt. They pretended that their dolls were friends who went to school together. + +"Hi, I am Lily," Sara made her doll say. "What is your name?" + +"Hi, I am Max," Ben made his doll reply. "Do you like school?" + +"Yes, I do. I like to draw and sing and read," Sara made her doll say. "What do you like to do?" + +"I like to run and jump and play soccer," Ben made his doll reply. "Do you want to play with me?" + +"Sure, let's go outside," Sara made her doll say. She got up and took her doll to the door. + +But when they opened the door, they saw that it was very cold outside. There was snow on the ground and ice on the trees. They felt the wind blow on their faces and shivered. + +"Brrr, it is too cold to play outside," Sara said. "Let's go back inside." + +"OK, let's go back inside," Ben agreed. "But we can still play with our dolls." + +They went back to the living room and sat on the couch. They wrapped their dolls in blankets and gave them hot chocolate. They pretended that their dolls were warm and cozy. + +"Are you feeling better, Lily?" Ben made his doll ask. + +"Yes, I am, Max. Thank you for being so nice," Sara made her doll reply. + +They smiled at each other and hugged their dolls. They knew that their dolls were fake, but they loved them anyway. They were happy to have each other as friends. +Lila was a little rabbit who liked to hop and play in the forest. She had many friends, like Bina the bird and Rolo the mouse. They had fun together, but they also knew to be careful of the hunter. The hunter was a bad man who wanted to catch them and hurt them. + +One day, Lila saw a big carrot in a clearing. She was hungry and curious, so she ran towards it. But when she got close, she heard a loud snap. A metal trap closed around her leg. It hurt a lot and she could not move. She cried out for help. + +Bina and Rolo heard her and came to see what was wrong. They saw Lila in the trap and felt scared. They wanted to help her, but they did not know how. They saw the hunter coming from the bushes. He had a gun and a mean smile. + +"Ha, I got you, you silly rabbit!" he said. "You fell for my bait. Now you will be my dinner." + +Lila was very afraid. She wished she had not gone for the carrot. She wished she had stayed with her friends. She struggled to free herself, but it was no use. + +Bina and Rolo did not give up. They had an idea. They flew and ran around the hunter, making loud noises and pecking and biting him. The hunter was angry and confused. He tried to shoot them, but he missed. He dropped his gun and chased them. + +While he was distracted, Lila saw a chance. She used her teeth to bite the wire of the trap. It was hard, but she did not stop. She bit and bit until the wire broke. She freed her leg and ran away. + +She met Bina and Rolo in a safe place. They hugged and thanked each other. They were happy and relieved. They learned a lesson. They learned to be smart and not greedy. They learned to stick together and help each other. They learned that the hunter was not stronger than their friendship. They learned that they were not regular animals, but brave and clever ones. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big flower with many colors. They wanted to smell it and touch it. + +"Look, Lily, how pretty!" Tom said. "Let's go closer." + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. There might be bees," Lily said. + +They walked to the flower and bent down. They smelled the sweet scent and felt the soft petals. They did not see the hairy bee that was hiding inside the flower. + +The bee was angry. It did not like Tom and Lily. It thought they were trying to take its food. It decided to sting them and make them go away. + +It flew out of the flower and buzzed loudly. It aimed at Tom's nose and Lily's ear. It stung them hard and fast. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom and Lily cried. They dropped the flower and ran to their mom. They had red bumps and tears on their faces. + +Mom saw them and hugged them. She put ice and cream on their stings. She told them to stay away from bees and flowers. + +Tom and Lily were sad and sorry. They learned their lesson. They never played with bees again. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They pretended to be chefs and made yummy food with pots and pans and spoons. But sometimes they made a big mess and their mom was not happy. + +One day, they decided to make a huge cake with flour and water and eggs. They poured everything into a big bowl and stirred it hard. But the bowl was too full and the cake mix spilled over the edge. It splashed on the floor and the counter and the sink. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "Mom will be mad!" + +"Quick, let's clean it up!" Ben said. He grabbed a towel and tried to wipe the sink. But the towel was too small and the sink was too wet. The towel got soaked and dripped more cake mix on the floor. + +"Stop, stop!" Lily said. "You're making it worse!" + +They heard their mom coming down the stairs. They looked at each other and felt scared. They knew they had to behave and say sorry. + +"Mom, we're sorry!" they said together. "We wanted to make a cake for you, but we made a mess instead." + +Their mom saw the kitchen and sighed. She was not happy, but she was not angry either. She loved her twins and knew they were trying to be nice. + +"It's okay, my loves," she said. "But next time, please ask me before you use the kitchen. And please be careful with the sink. It's not a toy." + +She hugged them and kissed them and helped them clean the kitchen. They threw away the cake mix and washed the dishes and the floor and the sink. Then they made a real cake with their mom and ate it together. It was yummy and they were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big red telephone near a bench. They wanted to enter the telephone and pretend to call someone. + +"Can I go first?" Lily asked. + +"No, I want to go first!" Tom said. + +They both ran to the telephone and pushed each other. They were angry and loud. A man was sitting on the bench. He was reading a book. He did not like the noise. He was not compassionate. He was mean. + +"Hey, you two, stop that!" he shouted. "This is not a toy. This is a real telephone. Go away or I will call the police!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not want to talk to the police. They ran away from the telephone and the man. They did not say sorry. They did not play anymore. They went home and cried. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben are making a salad for lunch. They have lettuce, cheese, and cucumber. But they need one more thing: a tomato. + +"Where is the tomato?" Lily asks Ben. "Did you see it?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, I did not see it. Maybe Mom has it." + +They go to the kitchen and look for Mom. But Mom is not there. She is in the garden, watering the flowers. + +"Mom, Mom, where are you?" Lily and Ben call. "We need a tomato for our salad." + +Mom hears them and comes to the door. She smiles and says, "I have a tomato for you. It is in the garden. Come and see." + +Lily and Ben follow Mom to the garden. They see a big red tomato on a green plant. It looks juicy and yummy. + +"Wow, Mom, you grew a tomato!" Lily says. "Can we have it for our salad?" + +"Of course, you can," Mom says. "But you have to be careful. The tomato is very ripe. It might fall off the plant." + +Lily and Ben are worried. They do not want to lose the tomato. They walk slowly and gently to the plant. They reach for the tomato with their hands. + +But then, something happens. A bird flies by and sees the tomato. It thinks it is a tasty snack. It swoops down and pecks at the tomato. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily and Ben shout. "That is our tomato!" + +The bird is scared. It drops the tomato and flies away. + +Lily and Ben catch the tomato before it hits the ground. They are happy and relieved. They hug the tomato and say, "Thank you, tomato. You are the best." + +They run back to the kitchen with the tomato. They wash it and cut it. They add it to their salad. They eat their salad and enjoy it. They say, "This is the best salad ever. We love tomato." +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play in the village. They had a big dream: they wanted to fly like the birds in the sky. They tried to make wings out of sticks and leaves, but they did not work. They tried to jump from the hill, but they only fell down. They were sad and angry. + +One day, they saw a big balloon in the air. It was red and yellow and had a basket with people inside. They waved at the people and shouted, "Hello! Can you take us with you? We want to fly!" + +The people in the balloon heard them and smiled. They threw down a rope and said, "Come on, climb up! We have room for two more. But you have to be brave and careful. Flying is fun, but also dangerous." + +Tom and Mia were very happy and excited. They grabbed the rope and climbed up into the basket. They thanked the people and looked around. They saw the village, the fields, the river, and the mountains. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces. They felt like they were flying. + +They were very proud of themselves and of their new friends. They said, "This is the best day ever! We are flying! We are flying!" +Tom and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park and pretend they were heroes. One day, they found a big box behind a tree. They opened it and saw a toy monster. It was green and had sharp teeth and claws. It looked scary, but also fun. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK, but be careful. It might bite!" Sam said. + +They took the toy monster out of the box and started to make noises and chase each other. They had a lot of fun, until Tom tripped and fell. He scraped his knee and it hurt. He cried and dropped the toy monster. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom said. "It hurts!" + +Sam ran to him and saw the blood on his knee. He felt sorry for his friend. + +"Don't cry, Tom. I'll help you." Sam said. He took a band-aid from his pocket and put it on Tom's knee. "There, this will heal you." + +"Thank you, Sam. You're a good friend." Tom said. He smiled and hugged Sam. + +They looked at the toy monster on the ground. It had a dull eye and a broken tooth. It looked sad and lonely. + +"Hey, maybe we can heal the monster too." Sam said. "We can fix it and make it happy." + +"OK, let's do that." Tom said. "Maybe it's not so scary after all." + +They picked up the toy monster and took it to the box. They found some tape and glue and started to fix it. They gave it a new eye and a new tooth. They also gave it a name: Rex. + +"Look, Rex. You're all better now." Sam said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +Rex nodded and made a happy noise. He liked his new friends. He was not a scary monster anymore. He was a hero. +Lily was a little girl who did not like to eat her meal. She always said it was too large, too hot, too green, or too boring. She only wanted to eat cake and candy all day. Her mom and dad tried to make her eat healthy food, but she always pushed it away and sighed. + +One day, mom and dad had to go away for work. They asked grandma to come and look after Lily. Grandma was very kind and sweet, but she did not know how picky Lily was. She cooked a large meal for Lily, with soup, bread, cheese, salad, and fruit. She put it on the table and called Lily to eat. + +Lily came to the table and saw the meal. She frowned and said, "I don't want this. I want cake and candy. This is yucky." She sighed and turned away. + +Grandma was surprised and sad. She said, "Lily, this is a good meal. It will make you strong and healthy. Cake and candy are not good for you. They will make you sick and unhappy. Please try some of this food. It is yummy and fresh." + +Lily did not listen to grandma. She said, "No, no, no. I don't like it. I don't want it. I want cake and candy. Give me cake and candy." She started to cry and scream. + +Grandma did not know what to do. She wanted to make Lily happy, but she also wanted to make her eat well. She thought maybe if she gave Lily a little cake and candy, she would calm down and eat some of the meal. She went to the kitchen and brought back a small plate with a slice of cake and a few candies. She said, "Lily, here is some cake and candy for you. But you have to promise me that you will eat some of the meal too. OK?" + +Lily saw the cake and candy and smiled. She said, "OK, OK, OK. I promise. Give me the cake and candy." She grabbed the plate and started to eat the cake and candy. She did not eat any of the meal. She ate the cake and candy very fast and very greedy. She did not share with grandma. She did not say thank you. + +Grandma was disappointed and angry. She said, "Lily, you broke your promise. You did not eat any of the meal. You only ate the cake and candy. That is not nice. That is not fair. That is not good for you." + +Lily did not care. She said, "I don't care. I like cake and candy. I don't like the meal. I don't like you. Go away." She stuck out her tongue and threw the plate on the floor. + +Grandma was shocked and hurt. She said, "Lily, you are very rude and ungrateful. You do not respect me or the food I made for you. You do not deserve any more cake and candy. You have to go to your room and stay there until your mom and dad come back. Maybe then you will learn to be polite and eat your meal." + +Lily did not want to go to her room. She wanted more cake and candy. She said, "No, no, no. I don't want to go to my room. I want more cake and candy. Give me more cake and candy." She started to cry and scream again. + +But grandma did not give in. She said, "No, no, no. You have to go to your room. You have had enough cake and candy. You have been very bad. You have to face the consequences." She took Lily by the hand and led her to her room. She closed the door and locked it. + +Lily was alone in her room. She was still crying and screaming. She wanted more cake and candy. She did not want to eat her meal. She did not want to listen to grandma. She did not want to say sorry. + +But soon, she started to feel sick. Her stomach hurt. Her head hurt. Her teeth hurt. She felt dizzy and tired. She realized that eating too much cake and candy was not good for her. She realized that she should have eaten some of the meal. She realized that she should have been nice to grandma. She realized that she had made a big mistake. + +She wanted to tell grandma that she was sorry. She wanted to tell grandma that she loved her. She wanted to tell grandma that she would eat her meal next time. But she could not. She was locked in her room. She had no one to help her. She had no one to hug her. She had no one to comfort her. + +She lay down on her bed and cried. She felt very sad and very sorry. She wished she could go back in time and change what +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to pretend that they were on a mission to rescue people from danger. Anna had a red car and Ben had a blue car. + +"Look, there is a big hole in the earth!" Anna said, pointing to a ditch. "Maybe someone is trapped inside. We have to rescue them!" + +"OK, let's go!" Ben said, driving his car towards the hole. He was very brave and wanted to help. + +But when he got close to the edge, he lost control of his car and it fell into the hole. Ben was scared and started to cry. + +"Help, help! My car is stuck and I can't reach it!" he shouted. + +Anna heard his cry and ran to the hole. She saw Ben's car at the bottom, covered with dirt. She was worried about her friend. + +"Don't cry, Ben. I will rescue you and your car. Just be patient and wait for me," she said. + +She looked around and saw a long stick. She picked it up and used it to push Ben's car out of the hole. Then she reached down and helped Ben climb up. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend and a good rescuer," Ben said, hugging his car and Anna. + +"You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you are OK. Let's go and play somewhere else. Maybe we can find more people to rescue," Anna said, smiling. + +They held hands and walked away, happy and proud. They were the best rescue team in the park. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big bush with red berries. They pick some berries and put them in a bowl. + +"Let's make berry jam!" Lily says. "We need sugar and water and a pot." + +They go to the kitchen and find what they need. They ask Mom for help. Mom puts the pot on the stove and turns on the fire. + +"Be careful, it's hot!" Mom says. "You can stir the berries with a spoon." + +Lily and Tom take turns stirring the berries. They watch them boil and bubble. They smell sweet and yummy. + +"Is it done?" Tom asks. + +"Not yet," Mom says. "We have to wait a little more." + +They wait and stir and wait and stir. Finally, Mom says it's done. She turns off the fire and pours the jam into a jar. + +"Look, we made berry jam!" Lily says. + +"It looks nice!" Tom says. + +They thank Mom and take the jar to the garden. They spread some jam on bread and eat it. It tastes nice, too. + +They share some jam with their toys and pretend they are having a picnic. They are happy and proud. They like berry jam. They like to stir. They like to play. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with toys and run in the park. One day, Tom found a hammer in his dad's shed. He wanted to show it to Sam. + +"Look, Sam, I have a hammer. It is big and heavy. We can use it to make things," Tom said. + +Sam was shy. He did not like loud noises or hard things. He was afraid of the hammer. + +"Tom, I don't want to play with the hammer. It is scary. It can hurt us. Let's play with something else," Sam said. + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to play with the hammer. He lead Sam to the tree house. He said they could make it better with the hammer. + +"Come on, Sam, don't be shy. It will be fun. We can hammer nails and wood and make a door and a window," Tom said. + +Sam followed Tom, but he was not happy. He did not want to go to the tree house. He wanted to go back to the park. + +When they got to the tree house, Tom climbed up the ladder. He held the hammer in his hand. He told Sam to come up too. + +"Sam, come up here. I need your help. Hold this wood for me. I will hammer it to the wall," Tom said. + +Sam did not want to help. He did not want to hold the wood. He did not want to be near the hammer. He was scared. + +"Tom, please, no. I don't want to do this. The hammer is too loud. The wood is too hard. The ladder is too high. I want to go down. I want to go home," Sam said. + +But Tom did not hear him. He was busy with the hammer. He swung it hard and hit the wood. But he missed. He hit Sam's hand instead. + +Sam screamed. He felt a lot of pain. He let go of the wood. He fell off the ladder. He hit the ground. + +Tom looked down. He saw Sam lying on the grass. He saw blood on his hand. He saw tears on his face. He dropped the hammer. He was sorry. + +"Sam, Sam, are you okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. Please, don't cry. Please, don't be mad at me. Please, be my friend," Tom said. + +But Sam did not answer. He did not look at Tom. He did not want to be his friend. He wanted his mom. He wanted to go to the hospital. He wanted to forget the hammer. He hated the hammer. He hated Tom. He hated the tree house. He hated the day. He wished it never happened. +Sam and Mia liked to build things with their toys. They had blocks, cars, dolls, and animals. One day, they decided to build a big tower with their blocks. They stacked them high and wide, and put a car on top. + +"Look at our tower!" Sam said. "It is the best tower ever!" + +Mia nodded. "It is very big and strong. Nothing can break it!" + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was their baby brother, Ben. He had crawled into the room and saw the tower. He wanted to play with it, too. He reached out his hand and grabbed a block. + +"Ben, no!" Sam and Mia shouted. But it was too late. Ben pulled the block and the tower fell down. The blocks crashed and the car flew off. Ben laughed and clapped his hands. + +Sam and Mia were very sad and angry. They had worked hard to build their tower, and Ben had ruined it. They started to cry and yell at Ben. + +"Bad Ben! Go away! You are a mean baby!" + +Ben did not understand. He thought they were playing with him. He smiled and crawled towards them. He saw something shiny on the floor. It was a bean. Mia had dropped it from her snack. Ben picked up the bean and put it in his mouth. + +"Ben, spit that out!" Mia said. "That is not food! That is a bean!" + +But Ben did not listen. He liked the bean. He chewed it and swallowed it. He made a funny face and said, "Mmm, bean!" + +Sam and Mia stopped crying and yelling. They looked at Ben and his funny face. They started to laugh. Ben laughed, too. He did not know why, but he liked to laugh. + +Sam and Mia felt sorry for Ben. He did not mean to break their tower. He was just a baby. They decided to forgive him and play with him. They gave him some more beans and some blocks. They helped him build a small tower. Ben was happy. He said, "Thank you, Sam. Thank you, Mia. I love you." + +Sam and Mia hugged him. They said, "We love you, too, Ben. You are our baby brother. And you are a funny bean eater." +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play and have fun. But they did not like to go to church with their mom and dad. They thought church was boring and long. They wanted to stay home and watch TV. + +One Sunday, mom and dad said they had to go to church. They said it was good to join other people who loved God and learn from them. Tim and Sam did not want to go. They made a fuss and cried.

They said they had to be polite and respectful to God and other people. They said they had to say sorry for their bad behavior. + +Tim and Sam went to church with mom and dad. They did not like it. They did not listen or sing or pray. They whispered and giggled and kicked the chairs. They made other people annoyed and distracted. They did not care. + +After church, mom and dad took Tim and Sam to the car. They said they were very disappointed and ashamed. They said Tim and Sam had to learn to be kind and grateful. They said they had to think about how their actions affected others. They said they had to apologize to God and the people they disturbed. + +Tim and Sam felt bad. They realized they had been wrong and mean. They said they were sorry to mom and dad. They said they were sorry to God and the people they disturbed.

They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +But then, a big dog came running. He saw the snowman and wanted to play too. He jumped on the snowman and knocked him down. He bit the hat and the scarf and the carrot nose. He made a big mess. + +Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They shouted at the dog. "Go away, bad dog! You broke our snowman! You are not nice!" + +The dog did not listen. He barked and wagged his tail. He thought they were playing with him. He ran around them and tried to lick their faces. + +Lily and Ben were cold and wet. They shivered and hugged each other. They wanted to go home. They looked for their mom and dad. They saw them on the other side of the park. They were slow because of the snow. + +They called for their mom and dad. "Mom! Dad! Help us! There is a big dog here! He ruined our snowman!" + +Their mom and dad heard them. They came running. They saw the dog and the snowman. They were not happy. They told the dog to go away. They picked up Lily and Ben and took them home. They gave them hot chocolate and cookies. They told them they were brave and good. They hugged them and kissed them. They made them feel better. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they have a big fight. Lily wants to play with the fancy car that Ben has. Ben says no, it is his car. Lily gets angry and pulls the car from Ben. Ben gets angry and pushes Lily. The car falls and breaks. + +Lily and Ben are both sad. They do not want to play anymore. They sit on the floor and cry. Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken car and the sad children. She says, "Oh no, what happened?" + +Lily and Ben tell Mom what happened. Mom says, "I'm sorry, you both made a mistake. Lily, you should not take Ben's car without asking. Ben, you should not push Lily. You should share and be kind. Can you say sorry to each other?" + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry for what they did. They say sorry and hug. Mom says, "That's good, you are friends again. Now, let's see if we can repair the car. Do you want to help me?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They help Mom find some glue and tape. They stick the car back together. It is not as fancy as before, but it still works. Lily and Ben are happy. They thank Mom and say, "Can we play with the car together?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can. But remember to take turns and be careful. I'm glad you made peace. Now, have fun!" She smiles and leaves them to play. Lily and Ben play with the car and the dolls. They are friends again. They have peace and fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to pretend they were heroes and villains, and they had different figures to act out their stories. Tom had a figure of a knight with a sword and a shield, and Lily had a figure of a princess with a crown and a dress. + +"Ha ha, I am the brave knight and I will save the princess from the dragon!" Tom said, holding his figure high. + +"Oh no, please help me, knight! The dragon is very big and dangerous and he wants to eat me!" Lily said, making her figure look scared. + +They were having fun, but they did not notice that a real dog was watching them from behind a bush. The dog was hungry and curious, and he thought the figures looked like tasty snacks. He crept closer and closer, ready to pounce. + +Suddenly, Lily saw the dog and screamed. "Tom, Tom, look! There is a real dog and he is coming for us!" + +Tom turned around and saw the dog too. He was afraid, but he tried to be brave. He picked up his figure and waved it at the dog. "Go away, dog! You are not a dragon, you are a bad dog! You cannot have our figures, they are ours!" + +The dog did not listen. He barked and jumped at Tom and Lily, trying to grab their figures. Tom and Lily ran away, holding their figures tight. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench nearby. + +"Mom, mom, there was a dog and he was very dangerous and he wanted our figures!" Lily said, crying. + +"Mom, we were playing heroes and villains and the dog was the villain and he was very mean!" Tom said, also crying. + +Mom hugged them and checked if they were hurt. She was glad they were safe. She looked at the dog, who was still barking and chasing the figures. She saw that the dog had a collar and a tag with a name and a phone number. + +"Oh, I see. That dog is not a villain, he is just lost and hungry. His name is Rex and he has a owner. I will call his owner and tell him where Rex is. Maybe he will mention how sorry he is for scaring you," Mom said, taking out her phone. + +Tom and Lily calmed down and nodded. They felt sorry for Rex too. They hoped he would find his owner and get some food. They decided to share their figures with him, if he was nice. They learned that not all dogs are dangerous, and not all figures are safe. +Tom and Lily were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Tom ran behind a big tree and waited for Lily to find him. He heard Lily counting to ten and then saying, "Ready or not, here I come!" + +Lily looked around the park and tried to spot Tom. She saw a swing, a slide, a bench, and a fountain, but no Tom. She walked towards the fountain and heard a noise. It sounded like someone was singing a song. She followed the noise and saw Tom behind the tree. He was singing a song with a rhythm that he made by tapping his feet and clapping his hands. + +"Found you!" Lily shouted and ran towards Tom. Tom stopped singing and smiled. He had a hidden toy in his hand. It was a yellow car that he liked very much. He showed it to Lily and said, "Look, this is my car. It can go very fast and make a beep sound. Do you want to play with it?" + +Lily nodded and reached for the car. Tom hesitated. He did not want to give up his car. He liked it too much. He held it tight and said, "No, this is my car. You can't have it. It's mine!" + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to play with the car too. She thought Tom was being mean and selfish. She said, "That's not fair! You have to share. Sharing is nice. If you don't share, I won't play with you anymore!" + +Tom looked at Lily and saw her frown. He did not want to make her unhappy. He did not want to lose his friend. He thought for a moment and then decided to yield. He said, "Okay, okay, you can play with the car. But only for a little while. Then you have to give it back to me. Deal?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Deal!" She took the car and made it zoom and beep. Tom watched her and felt happy. He thought sharing was not so bad after all. He said, "Can I sing my song again? Do you want to sing with me?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do! Let's sing together!" They sang the song with the rhythm that Tom made. They played with the car and the song until it was time to go home. They hugged and said, "Bye, see you tomorrow!" They were both happy and glad that they were friends. +Lily and Tom were eager to eat pasta for dinner. They liked pasta very much. It was their favorite food. They helped their mom cook the pasta in a big pot. They stirred the pasta with a spoon and added some cheese and sauce. + +When the pasta was ready, their mom put it on a big plate. She told Lily and Tom to sit at the table and wait for her. She had to get some salad and bread from the kitchen. Lily and Tom nodded and sat down. They smelled the pasta and it made them hungry. + +But they did not wait for long. They saw the pasta on the plate and it looked so yummy. They wanted to eat it right away. They did not listen to their mom. They jumped from their chairs and ran to the plate. They reached for the pasta with their hands. + +But they were not careful. They bumped into the plate and made it fall. The pasta spilled on the floor. The cheese and sauce splashed on their clothes. The plate broke into pieces. It made a loud noise. + +Their mom heard the noise and came back. She saw the mess and was very angry. She scolded Lily and Tom for being naughty and greedy. She told them they had to clean up the mess and go to bed without dinner. Lily and Tom felt sorry and sad. They wished they had waited for their mom. They learned their lesson. They did not jump for pasta again. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. Lila saw a red tomato on a vine. She wanted to pick it and eat it. + +"Look, Ben, a tomato!" she said. "Can I have it?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lila, that is not a tomato. That is a mighty tomato. It can become anything it wants. It can become a ball, or a hat, or a rocket." + +Lila did not believe him. She reached for the tomato. But as soon as she touched it, it became a ball. It bounced out of her hand and rolled away. + +"Wow!" Lila said. "How did it do that?" + +Ben smiled. "I told you, it is a mighty tomato. It can change its shape. Let's chase it and see what else it can become." + +Lila and Ben ran after the ball. They had fun playing with the mighty tomato. It became a hat, a rocket, a flower, and a star. They laughed and clapped their hands. They did not want to stop. They did not know that the mighty tomato was really a magic tomato. And that it had a secret. +Ben and Sam were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a cop inside. The cop had a donut and a cup of coffee. Ben and Sam wanted to taste the donut. They thought the cop was not looking. + +"Let's go get the donut," Ben said to Sam. "It looks yummy." + +"OK, but be quiet," Sam said. "We don't want the cop to see us." + +They ran to the truck and opened the door. They grabbed the donut and ran away. They did not see the cop get out of the truck and chase them. + +"Hey, stop!" the cop shouted. "That's my donut!" + +Ben and Sam were scared. They tried to run faster, but the cop was faster. He caught them and took the donut back. He was very angry. + +"You are bad boys," he said. "You stole my donut. That's not nice. You have to go to the police station with me." + +He put them in the back of the truck and drove away. Ben and Sam cried. They wished they had not taken the donut. They were in big trouble. +Ben and Sam are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big doll in the closet. It is a lady doll with long hair and a pink dress. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben says. "She is so pretty!" + +"Can I see?" Sam asks. He tries to grab the doll from Ben. + +"No, she is mine!" Ben says. He pulls the doll back. + +They both tug on the doll. They pull hard. Then, they hear a loud rip. The doll splits in two. One half has the head and the dress. The other half has the legs and the shoes. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Sam say. They look at the broken doll. They feel sad and sorry. + +"What have we done?" Ben says. "We ruined the lady doll!" + +"Maybe we can fix her," Sam says. He picks up the legs and the shoes. + +They run to their mom. She is in the kitchen. She is making a cake. She is slow and careful. + +"Mom, mom, help us!" Ben and Sam say. They show her the doll. + +"Oh dear, what happened?" Mom says. She sees the split doll. She frowns. + +"We were playing with the lady doll and we pulled too hard and she split in two," Ben says. + +"We are sorry, mom," Sam says. "Can you fix her?" + +Mom sighs. She puts down the cake. She takes the doll. She gets some glue and some tape. She tries to stick the doll back together. She is slow and gentle. + +"There, I think she is okay now," Mom says. She gives the doll to Ben and Sam. "But you have to be more careful with your toys. And you have to share. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, mom," Ben and Sam say. They hug the doll. They hug mom. They say thank you. + +They go back to their room. They play with the doll. They take turns. They are nice to each other. They are happy. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play together.

He wished he could watch TV and eat pizza. + +"Come on, Ben, it's time to get ready," mom said. + +"No, I don't want to go!" Ben said. He ran to his room and slammed the door. He tried to resist mom and dad. + +Mom and dad were not happy. They knocked on the door and told Ben to come out. They said he had to go and they would have fun.

She wondered what the event would be like. She hoped Ben would calm down and enjoy it too. + +But when they arrived at the event, Sara and Ben were both surprised. It was not a fancy event at all.

It was a gift. Next time, ask me before you take something." + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "We love you, mom. We are sorry. We will ask you next time." They learned their lesson. They hoped grandma would still like the scarf. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big map on the wall. The map has many colors and shapes. + +"What is this?" Lily asks. + +"This is a map of the world," Tom says. "It shows all the places where people live. Each color is a nation." + +"A nation? What is that?" Lily wonders. + +"A nation is a big group of people who share a name and a flag and a leader. Some nations are good and some are bad," Tom explains. + +"How do you know which ones are good and which ones are bad?" Lily asks. + +Tom points to a red shape on the map. "This is a bad nation. They are mean and they hurt other people. They have a bad leader who tells them to do bad things." + +Lily feels scared. She does not like mean people. She wants to be far away from the bad nation. She reaches for a blue shape on the map. "What about this one? Is this a good nation?" + +Tom smiles. He knows this nation. His grandma lives there. "Yes, this is a good nation. They are nice and they help other people. They have a good leader who tells them to do good things." + +Lily feels happy. She likes nice people. She wants to be close to the good nation. She hugs the blue shape on the map. "Can we go there? Can we visit your grandma?" + +Tom nods. He likes his grandma. She makes yummy cookies and tells funny stories. "Yes, we can go there. Maybe one day, we can take a plane and fly to the good nation. And we can see all the other good nations on the way." + +Lily and Tom dream of traveling the world. They forget about the bad nation. They only see the good nations. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the grass. They have a dog named Spot. Spot is adorable. He has black and white fur and a wet nose. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing with Spot in the grass. They throw a ball and Spot runs to catch it. They laugh and clap when Spot brings the ball back. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Mom calls them from the house. "Lily, Ben, time to come in and clean up!" she says. "You have to wash your hands and face before dinner." + +Lily and Ben groan. They don't want to stop playing. They want to stay with Spot in the grass. "Can we play a little more, Mom?" they ask. + +Mom shakes her head. "No, you have to come in now. Look at you, you are all dirty and messy. And so is Spot. He needs a bath too." + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They look at Spot. He is covered in mud and grass. He looks happy, but he also looks dirty. They realize that Mom is right. They have to clean up. + +"Okay, Mom, we are coming," they say. They hug Spot and say goodbye. They promise to play with him again tomorrow. They follow Mom to the house. They wash their hands and face. They help Mom give Spot a bath. They scrub his fur and rinse him with water. They dry him with a towel. He shakes his fur and wags his tail. + +Lily and Ben smile. They are proud of themselves. They have cleaned up. They have also cleaned Spot. He looks adorable again. They hug him and thank him for playing with them. They are ready for dinner. They are happy. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play basketball. They have a big ball and a hoop in the park. They go to the park every day after school. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He is very tall and strong. He has a basketball too. He comes to Tom and Sam and says, "Hello, I am Ben. Can I play with you?" + +Tom and Sam are happy. They say, "Yes, you can play with us. We are going to play a game. Do you want to be on our team or the other team?" + +Ben says, "I want to be on the other team. I am very good at basketball. I can score many points. You are too small and weak. You cannot stop me." + +Tom and Sam are sad. They do not like Ben. He is very mean and rude. They say, "No, you cannot play with us. You are not nice. You are not a good friend. Go away." + +Ben says, "Fine, I do not need you. I can play by myself. I am the best basketball player in the park. Watch me." + +Ben takes his ball and goes to the hoop. He tries to throw the ball in the hoop. But he misses. He tries again. He misses again. He tries many times. He misses every time. + +Tom and Sam watch Ben. They laugh. They say, "Ben is not very good at basketball. He is only good at talking. He cannot score any points. He is not strong. He is silly." + +Tom and Sam have a plan. They say, "Let's go and help Ben. Maybe he will be nicer if we teach him how to play basketball. Maybe he will be our friend." + +Tom and Sam take their ball and go to Ben. They say, "Ben, do you want to learn how to play basketball? We can show you. We can have fun together." + +Ben is surprised. He says, "Really? You want to help me? You are not mad at me?" + +Tom and Sam say, "No, we are not mad at you. We are friends. Friends help each other. Friends play together. Friends have fun together." + +Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, Tom and Sam. You are very kind and cool. I am sorry I was mean and rude. I want to be your friend. Can we play basketball together?" + +Tom and Sam say, "Yes, we can play basketball together. Come on, let's go to the hoop. We will teach you how to throw the ball in the hoop. We will have a great game." + +Tom, Sam and Ben play basketball together. They have a lot of fun. They score many points. They cheer and high-five each other. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben wanted to go to the park. They had to pack some food and toys in a bag. Lily packed a sandwich, a banana and a ball. Ben packed a cookie, an apple and a car. + +They walked to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and geese. Lily and Ben liked to feed them bread crumbs. They ran to the edge of the pond and threw some bread in the water. + +But one goose was very fierce. It did not like to share the bread with the other birds. It saw Ben's cookie in his hand and wanted it. It flew out of the pond and chased Ben. Ben was scared and ran away. He dropped his cookie and his car. + +The goose grabbed the cookie and the car in its beak. It honked loudly and flew back to the pond. It ate the cookie and played with the car. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They wanted their cookie and car back. + +They asked their mom to help them. But their mom said no. She said the goose was too fierce and they should not bother it. She said they had to go home and pack again. They had to pack their things and leave the park. Lily and Ben cried. They did not want to go home. They did not like the fierce goose. They had a bad day. +Tom is a panda who likes to play with his friends. He likes to climb trees, roll on the grass, and chase butterflies. But sometimes, Tom is careless. He does not look where he is going, or listen to his mom and dad. + +One day, Tom sees a big red ball near the pond. He wants to play with it. He runs to the ball, but he does not see the rock in his way. He trips over the rock and falls into the pond. Splash! + +Tom is wet and cold. He cries for help. His mom and dad hear him and come to the pond. They pull him out of the water and hug him. They are glad he is safe, but they are also angry. They tell him he was careless and he should be more careful. + +Tom is sorry. He says he will try to be more careful. He says he will look where he is going, and listen to his mom and dad. He hugs them and says he loves them. They love him too. + +They go home and dry Tom off. They give him a warm blanket and some bamboo. Tom feels better. He learns his lesson. He tries to be more careful. He still likes to play, but he also likes to be safe. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived on a farm. They liked to play with the animals, especially the sheep. The sheep were soft and white and made funny noises. + +One day, Tom and Lily decided to have a race with the sheep. They each picked a sheep and ran across the field. The sheep were faster than the twins, but the twins did not give up. They ran and ran until they were very tired. + +The sheep were tired too, but they were also restless. They did not want to stay in the field. They wanted to explore the farm. They saw a big red barn, a shiny tractor, and a pond with ducks. They followed their noses and wandered away from the twins. + +Tom and Lily did not notice that the sheep were gone. They lay down on the grass and closed their eyes. They needed a nap after the race. They dreamed of sheep and stars and candy. + +The farmer came to the field and saw the twins sleeping. He smiled and covered them with a blanket. Then he looked for the sheep. He found them in different places, making trouble. He chased them and brought them back to the field. He locked the gate and shook his head. He needed a nap too, but he had more work to do. He hoped the sheep would behave tomorrow. +Sam and Lily were going to the zoo with their mom. They had to take the subway to get there. Sam liked the subway. He liked to see the lights and hear the noises. Lily did not like the subway. She thought it was too loud and too fast. She held her mom's hand tight. + +"Mom, when will we be at the zoo?" Lily asked. + +"Soon, honey. Just a few more stops," Mom said. + +Sam looked out the window. He saw a big dog on the street. He pointed and said, "Look, Lily, a dog!" + +Lily looked, but she did not see the dog. She saw a man with a big hat and a long coat. He looked angry. He frowned at Lily. Lily was scared. She hid behind her mom. + +"Mom, there is a mean man. He frowns at me," Lily said. + +Mom looked and saw the man. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lily. He is not mean. He is just cold. It is warm in the subway, but it is cold outside. He wears a big hat and a long coat to keep warm. He frowns because he is cold, not because he is mad." + +Lily peeked at the man. She saw that he had a red nose and a scarf. She thought maybe he was cold. She felt warm in her jacket and hat. She smiled at the man. The man saw her smile. He smiled back. He did not frown anymore. + +Lily felt better. She said, "Sorry, man. I hope you get warm soon." + +The man nodded and said, "Thank you, little girl. You have a nice smile." + +Sam and Lily were happy. They liked to smile. They liked to make people smile. They were excited to see the animals at the zoo.

He was very proud of his drawings and he showed them to his mom and dad. + +One day, he wanted to draw on his dad's desk. His dad's desk was big and brown and had many papers and pens on it. Ben thought it would be fun to draw on the desk and make it more pretty. He took his crayons and climbed on the chair. He started to draw on the desk with his red crayon. He made a big heart and wrote "I love you, dad". + +But his dad's desk was not like his paper. It was hard and smooth and his crayon did not make a good mark. Ben pressed harder and harder with his crayon, but it only made a faint line. He tried another crayon, a blue one, but it was the same. He got angry and frustrated. He wanted to make a nice drawing for his dad, but his crayons did not work. + +He looked at his crayons and saw that they were all sharp. He had used them too much and they had lost their tips. He felt sad and he threw his crayons on the floor. He did not want to draw anymore. + +He heard his dad coming into the room. He was scared and he hid under the desk. He hoped his dad would not see his drawing on the desk. + +"Ben, where are you?" his dad asked. He looked around the room and saw the crayons on the floor. He saw the red heart and the blue line on his desk. He was not happy. He knew that Ben had done it. + +He bent down and looked under the desk. He saw Ben hiding there. He had tears in his eyes and he looked ashamed. + +"Ben, what did you do?" his dad asked. He was not angry, but he was disappointed. + +"I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to draw for you, but my crayons did not work. They were all sharp and they did not make good marks. I was mad and I threw them away. I'm sorry, dad. I love you." Ben said. He was very sorry and he hugged his dad. + +His dad hugged him back and said, "I love you too, Ben. But you should not draw on my desk. It is not for drawing. It is for working. And you should not throw your crayons away. They are not trash. They are your tools. You can still use them if you sharpen them or use them gently. And you should always ask me before you use my things. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, dad. I understand. I'm sorry, dad. Can you forgive me?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, I forgive you, Ben. You are my son and I love you. But you have to be more careful and respectful. And you have to help me clean the desk and pick up the crayons. OK?" his dad said. + +"OK, dad. Thank you, dad. Can I still draw for you?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, you can still draw for me, Ben. But not on my desk. On your paper. And you can show me your drawings when I'm done working. OK?" his dad said. + +"OK, dad. I will do that. I love you, dad." Ben said. + +"I love you too, Ben. Now, let's go and clean up." his dad said. + +They got out from under the desk and started to clean up. Ben felt better and he learned his lesson. He still liked to draw with his crayons, but he never drew on his dad's desk again. He was a good boy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a rope hanging from a branch. "Let's swing on the rope!" Tom said. "It looks fun!" + +Lily was not sure. She looked at the rope and the tree. "The rope is old and thin. The tree is high and far. What if we fall?" she said. + +Tom laughed. "Don't be scared, Lily. You are smart. You can hold on tight. Imagine how fast we can go. Imagine how high we can fly. Come on, follow me!" He ran to the tree and grabbed the rope. + +Lily followed him. She did not want to be left behind. She did not want to be a chicken. She grabbed the rope too. They swung on the rope together. They felt the wind in their hair. They felt the sun on their faces. They felt happy. + +But then, something bad happened. The rope broke. Tom and Lily screamed. They fell to the ground. They hit their heads. They hurt their arms and legs. They cried and cried. Nobody heard them. Nobody helped them. They were alone and sad. They wished they had not swung on the rope. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had played something else. +Tom likes to play with his toy automobiles. He has many of them, but his favorite is the red one. It is very original, because it has a big horn and a shiny star on the door. Tom likes to make it go fast and honk the horn. + +One day, Tom is playing with his red automobile in the living room. He sees his sister, Lily, sitting on the couch with her doll. Lily is not playing with Tom, she is reading a book. Tom thinks that is boring. He wants Lily to play with him and his red automobile. + +Tom drives his red automobile to the couch and honks the horn. "Lily, play with me!" he says. Lily does not look at him. She keeps reading her book. Tom honks the horn again. "Lily, play with me!" he says louder. Lily still does not look at him. She says, "Tom, go away. I am reading." + +Tom gets angry. He does not like it when Lily ignores him. He thinks Lily is mean. He wants to make Lily pay attention to him. He does something bad. He kicks Lily's doll. The doll falls off the couch and hits the floor. + +Lily is shocked. She loves her doll. She looks at Tom with big eyes. She says, "Tom, why did you do that? That is not nice. That is my doll. You hurt her." Lily starts to cry. She picks up her doll and hugs her. + +Tom feels sorry. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He did not mean to hurt her doll. He just wanted to play with her. He says, "Lily, I am sorry. I was mad. I did not think. I like your doll. Can we play together?" Lily stops crying. She looks at Tom. She says, "Tom, you have to be gentle. You have to ask. You have to share. Do you understand?" Tom nods. He says, "I understand. I will be gentle. I will ask. I will share. Can we be friends?" Lily smiles. She says, "Yes, we can be friends. Do you want to play with my doll and your red automobile?" Tom smiles. He says, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Lily." They hug and play.

"They are very, very small animals. Some are good, some are bad. They can make you sick or help you improve." + +"Improve? What does that mean?" Ben asked. + +"It means to get better or stronger," Lisa said. "Like when you eat healthy food or exercise. Some microbes can help you improve by fighting the bad ones or making vitamins." + +"Wow, that's amazing!" Ben said. He wanted to learn more about microbes. He thought Lisa's microscope was the best thing ever. + +Soon, more friends came to see Lisa's microscope. They all wanted to look at the small things and ask questions.

They see him use the tools and wires. They learn new things. + +The man smiles. He is nice. He tells them about the machine and the lights. He shows them how it works. + +Sam and Tom are happy. They make a new friend. They say thank you and goodbye. They go back to their ball. They play some more. They have a good day. +Lily and Ben liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made roads and bridges with their blocks and books. They zoomed their cars along the roads and over the bridges. They made car noises with their mouths. + +One day, they decided to play with their cars in the bathroom. They filled the sink with water and put some of their cars in it. They pretended the sink was a big lake and the cars were boats. They zoomed their boats on the water and splashed each other. They laughed and had fun. + +But they did not see that the water was dripping from the sink to the floor. The floor became wet and slippery. They did not hear their mom calling them from downstairs. She wanted them to come for lunch. + +"Ben, Lily, come down for lunch!" their mom shouted. + +"Okay, mom, we're coming!" they shouted back. + +They grabbed their boats from the sink and ran to the door. But they slipped on the wet floor and fell down. Their boats flew out of their hands and landed on the floor too. They heard a loud crash and saw that one of their boats had hit a vase and broken it. The vase was their mom's favorite. It had flowers and birds on it. It was very pretty and interesting. + +"Oh no, we broke mom's vase!" Lily cried. + +"We're in trouble!" Ben said. + +They looked at each other and felt scared. They wondered what their mom would say when she saw the mess. They wished they had not played with their cars in the bathroom. They wished they had listened to their mom. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that water and cars do not mix well. They learned that they should be careful and respectful of other people's things. They learned that playing can be fun, but not when it causes trouble. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. But one day, they see a big red cake on the table in the kitchen. They want to eat some of the cake, but Mom says no. She says the cake is for Dad's birthday and they have to wait until after dinner. + +Tom and Sam are very hungry and the cake looks very yummy. They sneak into the kitchen when Mom is not looking. They each take a big bite of the cake and run back to their room. They hide the cake under their bed and smile. + +But soon, they feel something bad. Their mouths and throats are very itchy. They start to cough and scratch. They feel sick and scared. They also feel guilty. They know they did something wrong. + +They hear Mom coming to their room. They don't know what to do. They look at each other and whisper. + +"Mom will be very mad at us. We should tell her the truth. Maybe she can help us with the itch." Tom says. + +"But we will get in trouble. Maybe we can pretend we don't know anything. Maybe the itch will go away." Sam says. + +They hear Mom knock on the door. They have to decide what to do. They have to discuss. +Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play something fun. They decided to create a fort in the backyard. They used sticks, leaves, and blankets to make a big fort. They were happy. + +"Look at our fort!" Lily said. "It is the best fort ever!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben said. "Let's go inside and pretend we are pirates!" + +They crawled inside the fort and played with their toys. They had swords, hats, and treasure. They made loud noises and laughed. + +But then, they heard a growl. It was Rex, the big dog from next door. He had jumped over the fence and saw the fort. He thought it was a toy. He ran towards the fort and started to bite and pull it. He tore the blankets and sticks and leaves. He made a big mess. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They screamed and ran out of the fort. They tried to shoo Rex away, but he was too strong and angry. He chased them around the backyard. He barked and snapped at them. + +"Help! Help!" Lily and Ben cried. "Rex is attacking us!" + +Their mom heard them and came outside. She saw Rex and the ruined fort. She was upset. She yelled at Rex and threw a stick at him. He ran away, but not before he bit Lily's leg. She fell down and cried. She had blood on her leg. + +Mom ran to Lily and hugged her. She called dad and told him to come home. She said they had to go to the doctor. She said Rex was a bad dog and they had to tell his owner. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They looked at their fort. It was gone. They had worked hard to create it, but now it was destroyed. They had no fun. They had pain and fear. They wished Rex had never come. They wished they had never made the fort. They wished they had stayed inside. +Lily was very excited for the party. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She helped Mommy make a cake with sprinkles. She wanted to share it with her friends. + +When they got to the party, Lily saw many balloons and toys. She ran to play with them. But some of the other kids were not nice. They pushed her and took her toys. They said mean things to her. They made her cry. + +Lily ran to Mommy and hugged her. She asked her a question. "Why are they so mean, Mommy?" Mommy wiped her tears and kissed her. She said, "They are ignorant, Lily. They don't know how to be kind and share. They don't know how to have fun. They don't know how to be friends." + +Mommy took Lily to another room. There were some nice kids there. They smiled at Lily and invited her to play. They shared their toys and their cake. They said nice things to her. They made her laugh. + +Lily was happy again. She forgot about the mean kids. She had fun with the nice kids. She learned a new word. She said, "Ignorant means mean, Mommy." Mommy said, "Yes, Lily. But you are not ignorant. You are smart and sweet and brave. And you have many friends who love you." Lily hugged Mommy and said, "I love you too, Mommy. And I love the party." +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to go up the hill and see what is there. + +"Let's go to the hill!" Tim says. "Maybe we can find something incredible!" + +"OK!" Sue says. "But we have to be careful. The hill is very high and steep." + +They hold hands and start to climb the hill. They have to walk slowly and look for good places to step. They see some rocks, some flowers, some bugs, and some birds. They are happy and curious. + +When they reach the top of the hill, they are very tired but also very excited. They look around and see the whole town below them. They see their house, their school, their park, and their friends. They also see the sun, the clouds, the sky, and the rainbow. They think it is incredible. + +"Wow!" Tim says. "Look at all the things we can see from here! This is the best hill ever!" + +"Wow!" Sue says. "You are right! This is incredible! I'm so glad we came here!" + +They hug each other and smile. They have a lot of fun on the hill. They decide to come back again soon. They are very happy. +Tom and Sue were going on a trip. They had a big luggage with all their things. They wanted to take the bus to the airport. But the bus driver said, "No, your luggage is too big. You have to sell it or leave it." + +Tom and Sue were sad and angry. They did not want to sell their luggage or leave it. They needed their things for the trip. They tried to find another bus, but all the buses were full. They started to cry. + +A nice man saw them crying. He had a car. He said, "I can help you. I can take you to the airport. You can keep your luggage. But you have to pay me some money." + +Tom and Sue were happy. They had some money. They gave it to the nice man. He put their luggage in his car. He drove them to the airport. He was very fast. + +Tom and Sue thanked the nice man. They took their luggage and went to the plane. They were tired, but they were also excited. They were going on a trip. They hoped to have fun. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to pick blueberries in the forest. They had a big basket to fill with the juicy fruits. But one day, they saw a big bear near the blueberry bushes. The bear was hungry and wanted to eat the blueberries too. + +"Stop, bear, stop!" Ben shouted. "These are our blueberries, not yours!" + +The bear did not listen. He growled and walked towards the twins. He was big and scary and had sharp teeth and claws. + +Lily was troubled. She did not want to fight with the bear. She had an idea. She took some blueberries from the basket and threw them on the ground. The bear saw the blueberries and sniffed them. He liked them more than the ones on the bushes. He started to eat them. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go!" Lily said. "We have enough blueberries for today. We can share with the bear. He is hungry too." + +Ben nodded. He was glad that Lily was smart and kind. He followed her and they ran away from the bear. They took their basket and went back to their home. They told their mom and dad about their adventure. They ate some blueberries and saved some for later. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play in their room. Sometimes they played with toys, sometimes they played with books, and sometimes they played with their bed. They liked to climb on their bed and jump on it. + +One day, their mom said, "It is time for nap. Go to your bed and sleep." Lily and Tom did not want to nap. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, mom, we are not sleepy. We want to play." + +Mom said, "You have to nap. You need to rest. If you don't nap, you will be grumpy and tired. Go to your bed now." She left the room and closed the door. + +Lily and Tom were angry. They did not listen to mom. They climbed on their bed and jumped on it. They laughed and shouted. They did not care if mom heard them. + +But then, something bad happened. The bed broke. It made a loud noise. The mattress fell to the floor. The frame cracked. The pillows and blankets flew everywhere. Lily and Tom fell down too. They hurt themselves. They cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came back to the room. She saw the mess and the broken bed. She saw Lily and Tom crying. She was very mad. She said, "What did you do? You broke your bed. You did not listen to me. You were naughty. You are in big trouble." + +Lily and Tom were scared. They knew they did something wrong. They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had napped. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry. Please don't be mad at us." + +But mom was still mad. She said, "You have to pay for the bed. You have to do chores. You have to go to bed early. You have no more play time. You have to learn your lesson." + +Lily and Tom felt sad. They had no more fun. They had no more bed. They had no more mom. They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had never climbed on their bed. +Lila and Ben like to collect beans. They have a big jar full of different beans. Some are red, some are black, some are white, some are green. They like to sort them by color and count them. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a wide field with many flowers. They run and play and smell the flowers. They also see some plants with pods. They wonder what is inside the pods. + +"Look, Ben, pods!" Lila says. "Maybe they have beans inside. Let's collect them!" + +"OK, Lila, let's collect them!" Ben says. They pick some pods and open them. They find beans inside. Some are big, some are small, some are round, some are flat. + +"Wow, these beans are different from our beans!" Lila says. "They have different shapes and sizes. Let's take them home and add them to our jar!" + +"Good idea, Lila!" Ben says. They fill their pockets with beans and run back to their mom. They show her their beans and tell her about their discovery. + +"Those are nice beans, Lila and Ben!" their mom says. "You are very good at collecting beans. Do you know what these beans are called?" + +"No, mom, what are they called?" Lila and Ben ask. + +"These beans are called lentils," their mom says. "They are very good for you. You can eat them in soup or salad or with rice. Do you want to try them?" + +"Yes, mom, we want to try them!" Lila and Ben say. They are excited to taste their new beans. They go home and wash their beans and help their mom cook them. They enjoy their bean soup and salad and rice. They are happy and full. They also add some beans to their jar and admire their collection. They love beans. +Tom was restless. He did not want to sleep. He wanted to play with his toys and his dog. But his mom said it was evening and he had to go to bed. + +"Please, mom, can I stay up a little longer?" Tom asked. + +"No, Tom, you need to rest. Tomorrow is a new day and you will have lots of fun. Now, say good night to your dog and go to your room," his mom said. + +Tom hugged his dog and said good night. He went to his room, but he did not want to sleep. He looked around and saw a big box in the corner. He wondered what was inside. He got out of his bed and walked to the box. He opened it and discovered something amazing. + +Inside the box, there were many books with colorful pictures and words. Tom loved books. He picked one and opened it. It was a story about a boy who went on an adventure with a dragon. Tom was curious. He wanted to read the story. He took the book and went back to his bed. He turned on his lamp and started to read. + +He forgot about being restless. He was happy. He read and read until he fell asleep. He dreamed of dragons and adventures. He did not hear his mom come in and kiss him good night. He did not see her smile and put the other books back in the box. He did not know that the box was a gift from his dad, who was away on a trip. He only knew that he had discovered something wonderful. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. They work hard to make a big tower with the cards. They are happy. + +But then, a big wind comes. It blows the cards away. The tower falls down. Lily and Ben are sad. They cry. + +"Where are our cards?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. They are gone." Ben says. + +They look for the cards. They find some in the grass, some in the tree, some in the water. They run and pick them up. They are wet and dirty. + +They see a big box. It is open. It has many new cards inside. They are shiny and pretty. They have letters and numbers. + +"Wow! Look at these cards!" Lily says. + +"Can we play with them?" Ben asks. + +They look around. They see a man. He is sitting on a bench. He has a hat and a book. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like the cards?" He says. + +"Yes, we do. They are nice. Can we have some?" Lily says. + +"Sure, you can. I work at the card shop. These are extra cards. You can take as many as you want." He says. + +"Thank you, mister. You are kind." Ben says. + +Lily and Ben take some cards. They say goodbye to the man. They go back to their spot. They make a new tower with the cards. They are happy again. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, read books, and share snacks. One day, they decided to play pretend. They found some flowers and a ring and said they would marry each other. + +But then, a big boy came and took the ring. He said it was his and he was stronger. He ran away with the ring and laughed. Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They wanted their ring back. + +They chased the big boy, but he was too fast. They asked other kids for help, but no one listened. They felt cold and worried. They thought they would never marry each other. + +Then, they saw a teacher. She was kind and smart. They told her what happened and showed her the flowers. She said she would help them. She called the big boy and asked him to give back the ring. He said no and said it was his. She said that was not nice and that he should share. He said he was sorry and gave back the ring. + +Lily and Ben were very happy and thanked the teacher. They put on the ring and the flowers and said they would marry each other. They hugged and kissed and went back to play. They were best friends and they loved each other. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They were having fun and making a lot of noise. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Tom said, showing his creation to his sister. + +"Wow, Tom, that's very good!" Lily said, admiring his tower. "Can I help you make it bigger?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can help me. Here, take some blocks and put them on top." Tom said, handing her some blocks. + +They worked together to make the tower taller and taller. They were so busy that they did not notice their baby brother, Max, crawling towards them. Max saw the tower and wanted to touch it. He reached out his hand and pushed the tower with all his might. + +CRASH! The tower fell down and the blocks flew everywhere. Tom and Lily gasped and looked at Max. Max giggled and clapped his hands. He liked to destroy things. + +"Max, no!" Tom shouted, angry and sad. "You destroyed our tower! That's not nice!" + +"Max, bad!" Lily scolded, joining her brother. "You made a big mess! Mommy will be mad!" + +Max did not understand why they were yelling at him. He thought they were playing too. He crawled to the table and saw a bowl of cream. He grabbed the bowl and threw it on the floor. The cream splashed on the carpet, the blocks, and Tom and Lily. Max laughed and smeared the cream on his face. + +"Max, stop!" Tom and Lily cried, covered in cream. "You're so messy! You're ruining everything!" + +Mommy heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the scene and gasped. She saw the blocks, the cream, and the children. She saw Max smiling and Tom and Lily crying. + +"Oh, my!" Mommy said, shocked. "What happened here?" + +"Max happened!" Tom and Lily said, pointing at their brother. + +Mommy sighed and shook her head. She picked up Max and wiped his face. She hugged Tom and Lily and kissed their cheeks. She said she was sorry that Max destroyed their tower and made a mess. She said they could build another tower later. She said they had to clean up the cream and the blocks first. She said they had to be nice to Max because he was still a baby and did not know better. She said they were all her sweet children and she loved them. + +Tom and Lily nodded and said they were sorry too. They said they loved Mommy and Max. They helped Mommy clean up the living room. They learned to be more careful with their blocks and their cream. They learned to be more patient with their brother. They learned to share and play together. They were happy and messy and loved. +Sara loved to read. She read many books with her parent every day. She read about animals, colors, shapes, and stories. She learned new words and asked many questions. Her parent was proud of her and said she was gifted. + +One day, Sara went to the library with her parent. She saw a big book with a shiny cover. It had a picture of a castle and a dragon on it. She wanted to read it. She asked her parent, "Can I read this book?" + +Her parent looked at the book and smiled. "This book is for older kids, Sara. It has many hard words and long sentences. Maybe we can read it together when you are bigger." + +Sara felt sad. She wanted to read the big book now. She said, "But I can read, parent. I am gifted. You said so." + +Her parent hugged her and said, "You are gifted, Sara. And you can read many books. But some books are not for you yet. They are for later. You need to read books that are right for you now. Books that help you grow and have fun. Like this one." Her parent showed her a book with a picture of a fairy and a unicorn on it. It had bright colors and simple words. + +Sara looked at the book and smiled. She liked fairies and unicorns. She said, "OK, parent. I will read this book. And when I am bigger, I will read the big book too." + +Her parent nodded and said, "That's a good plan, Sara. Let's go and check out the books.

She had long hair, a pretty dress, and a shiny microphone. + +One day, Lily and Mia wanted to play with Anna, but they disagreed on what to do. Lily wanted to make Anna sing a song for a big show. Mia wanted to make Anna have a tea party with the other dolls. They both said, "I want Anna! She is mine!" + +They pulled and tugged on Anna, and they made her cry. Anna's hair got messy, her dress got torn, and her microphone got broken. Lily and Mia felt sorry for Anna, and for each other. They said, "We are sorry, Anna. We are sorry, friend." + +They hugged and said, "We can share Anna. She is ours. We can take turns to play with her. We can do different things with her. We can have fun together." + +They learned that disagreeing is okay, but fighting is not. They learned that sharing is caring, and that friends are more important than dolls. They played with Anna and the other dolls happily, and they sang a song for a big show and had a tea party afterwards. Anna was happy, too. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily and Mia. You are my best friends." +Tim and Ben are brothers. They like to play in the yard. They have a large ball and a rod. The rod is long and thin. They use the rod to hit the ball. + +One day, they are playing with the ball and the rod. Tim has the rod and Ben has the ball. Ben throws the ball to Tim. Tim hits the ball hard with the rod. The ball flies far away. + +"Wow, you hit the ball very far!" Ben says. + +"Thank you, I am good at hitting the ball," Tim says. + +"Can I have the rod now? I want to hit the ball too," Ben says. + +"No, I want to keep the rod. It is my turn," Tim says. + +"But you already had your turn. It is not fair. You have to share the rod," Ben says. + +They start to argue. They pull the rod from each other. They do not yield the rod. They are angry and loud. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the yard. She sees them fighting over the rod. + +"Stop, boys! What are you doing?" Mom says. + +"We are playing with the ball and the rod. But he does not want to give me the rod. He is mean," Ben says. + +"No, he does not want to wait for his turn. He is greedy," Tim says. + +Mom shakes her head. She is not happy. + +"Boys, you have to be nice to each other. You have to take turns and yield the rod. The rod is not only yours. It is for both of you. If you cannot share the rod, you cannot play with it," Mom says. + +She takes the rod from them. She puts it away. + +"Now, you can play with the ball. Or you can play with something else. But you have to say sorry to each other and hug," Mom says. + +Tim and Ben look at each other. They feel bad. They say sorry to each other and hug. + +"Thank you, Mom. We are sorry. We will share the rod next time," they say. + +Mom smiles. She gives them a kiss. + +"That's good, boys. I love you. Now, go and have fun," she says. + +Tim and Ben run to the ball. They play with the ball. They are happy and kind. They do not fight over the rod. +Lily liked to read novels. Novels were books with many pages and stories. She had a thin novel with a blue cover and a picture of a dog. She read it every night before bed. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy sitting on a bench. He had a novel too. It was thick and had a red cover and a picture of a dragon. Lily was curious. She walked to the boy and said, "Hello, what are you reading?" + +The boy looked up and smiled. He said, "Hi, I'm Tom. I'm reading a novel about dragons and magic. It's very exciting. What are you reading?" + +Lily showed him her novel. She said, "I'm Lily. I'm reading a novel about a dog and his adventures. It's very funny. Do you like dogs?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "I love dogs. I have a dog at home. His name is Spot. He's black and white and very friendly. Do you have a dog?" + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, I don't have a dog. But I wish I did. Maybe someday I will get one. What kind of dog is Spot?" + +Tom said, "Spot is a terrier. He's small and furry and likes to chase balls and squirrels. He's very smart too. He can do tricks and recognize his name. Do you want to see a picture of him?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. I would love to see a picture of Spot." + +Tom took out his phone and showed Lily a photo of Spot. Lily smiled and said, "He's so cute. He looks like a lot of fun. Can I pet him sometime?" + +Tom said, "Sure, you can. Maybe we can play together at the park. Do you come here often?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. I like the swings and the slide and the sandbox. And I like to read novels here too. Maybe we can read novels together sometime." + +Tom said, "That sounds great. I like to read novels too. Maybe we can swap novels sometime. I would like to read your novel about the dog. And you can read my novel about the dragon." + +Lily said, "Okay, let's do that. I think we have a lot in common. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Tom said, "Yes, I do. I think you're very nice. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. I think you're very cool. Let's be friends." + +They smiled and hugged. They had found a new friend who liked novels. They were very happy. +Lisa and Ben went to the park with their mom. They liked to feed the ducks and watch the water. Lisa saw a big white bird with a long neck and a curved beak. She pointed and said, "Look, mom, a swan!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, that's a swan. It's a very beautiful and graceful bird. Do you like it?" + +Lisa nodded and said, "I like it very much. It's so pretty and shiny. I admire it. Can I touch it?" + +Mom shook her head and said, "No, you can't touch it. Swans can be very shy and sometimes angry. They might bite you if you get too close. You can admire them from a distance, but don't bother them." + +Lisa said, "OK, mom, I won't bother them. I will just look at them and say hello." + +Ben was not so interested in the swan. He liked the ducks better. He threw some bread crumbs to them and laughed when they quacked and splashed. He said, "Ducks are more fun than swans. They are friendly and noisy. They make me happy." + +Mom said, "Ducks are fun, too. They are very reliable. They always come back to the park every day. They like to eat and swim and play. They are good companions for the swan. They keep it company and protect it from danger." + +Lisa and Ben learned a lot about the swan and the ducks. They enjoyed their time at the park with their mom. They thanked her for taking them there and giving them bread. They said, "We love you, mom. You are the best." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you, too, Lisa and Ben. You are my precious children. You make me proud." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big clock on a tower. The clock had a face with two hands and numbers. The clock made a loud sound every hour. + +"Wow, look at the clock!" Tom said. "It is so big and noisy!" + +"I want to whistle like the clock!" Lily said. She tried to whistle, but she could not. She only made a funny noise. + +Tom laughed at Lily. "You can't whistle, you sound like a mouse!" he said. He whistled loudly and proudly. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like Tom's laugh. She ran away from him and went to the swings. + +Tom followed Lily. He wanted to play with her, but she ignored him. She swung higher and higher, and did not look at him. + +Tom felt sorry and bored. He did not like Lily's silence. He went to the slide. + +On the way, he saw a man selling snacks. The man had a cart with many colors and smells. Tom was hungry and curious. He asked the man for a snack. + +The man gave Tom a red ball. He said it was spicy and tasty. Tom thanked the man and bit the ball. + +But the ball was too spicy for Tom. It burned his mouth and tongue. He spit out the ball and cried. He ran to the fountain and drank some water. + +Lily heard Tom's cry. She left the swings and went to him. She saw his red face and tears. She felt sorry and worried. + +"What happened, Tom?" she asked. + +"I ate a spicy ball. It hurt me a lot!" Tom said. + +Lily hugged Tom. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. That was not a good snack for you. Do you feel better now?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. I should not have laughed at you. You are my sister and I love you." + +Lily smiled. She said, "I love you too, Tom. And I don't mind if you can whistle and I can't. We can learn together." + +Tom and Lily hugged again. They decided to share a sweet snack from the man. They thanked him and went back to the park. They played happily and whistled together. + +The moral of the story is: Don't laugh at others for what they can't do. Be kind and helpful to your family and friends. Try new things, but be careful of what you eat. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big green tree. It has many leaves and fruits. + +"Look, Lily, a green tree!" Tom says. "Let's go and pick some fruits." + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. The tree is very high." Lily says. + +They run to the tree and try to reach the fruits. Tom climbs on a branch and picks a red apple. He is happy. + +"Look, Lily, I have an apple!" Tom says. "It is sweet and juicy." + +"Wow, Tom, that is a nice apple. Can I have one too?" Lily says. + +"Sure, Lily, here you go." Tom says. He throws an apple to Lily. + +But Lily does not catch the apple. The apple falls on the ground and breaks. Lily is sad. + +"Oh, Tom, you broke my apple!" Lily says. "That is not fair. You have a whole apple and I have nothing." + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I did not mean to break your apple." Tom says. "But you can still eat it. It is still good." + +"No, Tom, I don't want it. It is dirty and ugly." Lily says. "You are a bad friend. You did not show me how to climb the tree and get my own apple." + +Lily runs away and cries. Tom feels bad. He does not want to lose his friend. He thinks of a way to make her happy. + +He climbs down the tree and picks up the broken apple. He cleans it with his shirt and breaks it in half. He sees that the apple has many seeds inside. + +He runs after Lily and finds her on a bench. He gives her half of the apple. + +"Look, Lily, I have something for you." Tom says. "It is half of the apple. It is still sweet and juicy. And it has seeds. You can plant them and grow your own tree." + +Lily looks at the apple. She sees that Tom is right. The apple is still good. And it has seeds. She smiles. + +"Thank you, Tom, that is very nice of you." Lily says. "You are a good friend. You showed me how to grow a tree. I'm sorry I was angry with you." + +They hug and eat the apple together. They are happy. They decide to plant the seeds and wait for them to grow. They learn that sharing is caring and that friends should help each other. +True was a dog who liked to play with his toys. He had a ball, a bone, and a rope. He liked to chew on them and make them squeak. One day, he saw a new toy on the floor. It was shiny and sharp. It looked like fun. + +He picked it up with his mouth and ran to his bed. He tried to chew on it, but it hurt his teeth. He shook it and tossed it, but it made a loud noise. He did not like it. He wanted to get rid of it. + +He saw his owner, Ben, sitting on the couch. He ran to him and dropped the toy on his lap. Ben looked at the toy and gasped. It was a pair of scissors. He did not know how True got them. He was angry and scared. + +"True, what are you doing? This is not a toy! This is dangerous! You could cut yourself or me!" Ben shouted. He grabbed the scissors and tried to put them away. But True thought he wanted to play. He jumped on Ben and bit his hand. He cut Ben's finger with his teeth. + +Ben screamed and pushed True away. He saw blood on his hand and on the scissors. He felt pain and fear. He ran to the bathroom and wrapped his finger with a towel. He called his mom and told her what happened. He cried and said he was sorry. + +True did not understand. He thought Ben was mad at him. He felt sad and confused. He wanted to say sorry too. He followed Ben to the bathroom and wagged his tail. He licked Ben's face and tried to make him happy. But Ben did not want to see him. He pushed him away again. He said True was a bad dog. He said True was disgusting. He locked the door and left True alone. + +True did not know what to do. He lay down on the floor and whimpered. He wished he never saw the scissors. He wished he never hurt Ben. He wished Ben would love him again. He wished he had a good toy. He wished he had a good ending. +Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play with crayons and draw pictures. One day, they found a big box of crayons in the closet. They were very happy. + +"Look, Sam, there are so many colors!" Lily said. "I want to draw a rainbow." + +"Me too, Lily, me too!" Sam said. "But I want to draw a bigger rainbow than you." + +They took the crayons and started to draw on the wall. Lily drew a small rainbow with six colors. Sam drew a big rainbow with seven colors. He used a black crayon to make his rainbow bigger. + +"Sam, why did you use a black crayon?" Lily asked. "That is not a rainbow color." + +"Yes, it is, Lily, yes, it is!" Sam said. "My rainbow is better than yours. It has more colors and it is bigger." + +Lily did not like what Sam said. She felt sad and angry. She wanted to make her rainbow bigger too. She took the black crayon from Sam and started to draw over his rainbow. + +"Stop, Lily, stop!" Sam shouted. "You are ruining my rainbow!" + +"No, you are ruining my rainbow!" Lily shouted back. "You are a bad friend!" + +They fought over the black crayon. They pulled and pushed and scratched each other. The crayon broke in half. They both fell to the floor and cried. + +Mom came into the room and saw the mess. She saw the crayons and the wall and the children. She was very mad. + +"What have you done?" Mom asked. "You have made a big mess and you have hurt each other. You are both in big trouble. No more crayons for you. Go to your rooms and think about what you have done." + +Lily and Sam felt sorry and scared. They wished they had not fought over the crayon. They wished they had been nice to each other. They wished they had drawn a rainbow together. But it was too late. They had lost their crayons and their friend. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big box. They want to build something with the box. + +"What can we build?" Lily asks. + +"Let's build a house!" Ben says. + +They take the box to a wide spot. They cut a door and two windows. They use crayons to draw flowers and stars. They are happy with their house. + +They go inside the house. They pretend to cook and eat. They have celery and cheese for lunch. They like celery. It is crunchy and green. + +"Yum, this is good!" Lily says. + +"I agree!" Ben says. + +They hear a noise. It is Lily's dog, Spot. He is curious. He comes to the house. He sniffs the door. He pushes it with his nose. He goes inside the house. + +"Hello, Spot!" Lily and Ben say. + +Spot wags his tail. He sees the celery. He likes celery too. He takes a bite. He makes a mess. + +"Hey, that's our lunch!" Lily says. + +"Bad dog!" Ben says. + +Spot does not understand. He thinks they are playing. He barks and jumps. He knocks over the box. The house falls down. + +"Oh no, our house!" Lily and Ben say. + +They are sad. They look at the broken box. They look at Spot. He looks sorry. He licks their faces. + +They are not mad. They love Spot. He is their friend. They hug him. + +"It's okay, Spot. We can build another house." Lily says. + +"Yes, and we can get more celery." Ben says. + +They smile. They are happy again. They go to get another box. They have fun. They build and play. They share their celery. They are friends. +Lila and Sam were playing with their toy jeep in the garden. They liked to make it go fast and jump over the rocks and the flowers. They pretended they were on a big adventure in the jungle. + +"Look, Sam, a lion!" Lila said, pointing to a big orange cat that was lying on the grass. "We have to be careful, it might chase us!" + +Sam laughed. "That's not a lion, silly, that's Mr. Fluffy, the neighbor's cat. He's very friendly, he won't hurt us. Come on, let's go say hello." + +Lila was not sure. She thought the cat looked like a lion, with its big paws and sharp teeth. She was afraid it might scratch their jeep or bite their fingers. She wanted to remain in the jeep and drive away. + +"No, Sam, I don't want to go. You go, I'll wait here," she said, holding the jeep tightly. + +Sam shrugged. He got out of the jeep and walked towards the cat. He bent down and stroked its fur. The cat purred and rubbed its head against his hand. + +"See, Lila, he's very nice. He likes me. He's not a lion, he's a kitty," Sam said, smiling. + +Lila watched from the jeep. She saw that the cat was not angry or scary. It looked happy and soft. She felt a little silly for being afraid. She decided to be brave and join Sam. + +"OK, Sam, I'll come too. But be gentle, he's very delicate," she said, leaving the jeep and walking slowly towards the cat. + +Sam nodded. He moved aside and made room for Lila. Lila reached out and touched the cat's fur. It was warm and smooth. The cat purred louder and licked her hand. + +"Wow, he's very nice. He likes me too. He's a kitty, not a lion," Lila said, giggling. + +Sam and Lila sat on the grass and played with the cat. They forgot about their jeep and their adventure. They were happy and calm. The cat was happy and calm too. He remained with them until it was time to go inside. +Ben likes motorcycles. He has a toy motorcycle that is orange. He plays with it every day. He makes it go vroom vroom on the floor. + +One day, Ben sees a real motorcycle outside. It is also orange. It is very big and shiny. Ben wants to see it up close. He runs to the door and opens it. + +Ben's mom sees him. She is scared. She says, "Ben, no! Come back! That is not your motorcycle. That is a stranger's motorcycle. It is not safe to go outside alone." + +But Ben does not listen. He runs to the motorcycle. He touches it. He likes how it feels. He climbs on it. He pretends to drive it. He says, "Vroom vroom!" + +The stranger sees Ben. He is angry. He says, "Hey, kid! Get off my motorcycle! That is not your toy. That is my ride. You are in trouble!" + +Ben is scared. He does not know what to do. He cries. He says, "Sorry, sorry!" + +Ben's mom comes. She is very sorry too. She says, "I'm so sorry, sir. He is only three. He does not know better. He likes motorcycles. He has a toy one that is orange. He thought this was his." + +The stranger is still angry. But he sees Ben's toy motorcycle. He sees that it is orange. He sees that Ben loves motorcycles. He remembers that he was once a kid too. He says, "Okay, okay. I understand. But you have to be careful, kid. You can't just take other people's things. You can't just run outside alone. You have to listen to your mom. She is trying to keep you safe." + +Ben nods. He says, "Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I will listen to mom. I will be careful." + +The stranger smiles. He says, "Good. Now, do you want to see something cool?" + +Ben says, "Yes, yes!" + +The stranger says, "Come on, then. I will show you how my motorcycle works. I will lead you to the other side. But you have to hold your mom's hand. And you have to ask before you touch anything. Deal?" + +Ben says, "Deal!" + +Ben's mom says, "Thank you, sir. That is very kind of you." + +The stranger says, "No problem. I like kids who like motorcycles. Come on, let's go." + +Ben is happy. He holds his mom's hand. He follows the stranger. He sees the motorcycle. He learns new things. He says, "Wow, wow!" +Lily and Sam were excited to go to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see the lions, the monkeys, and the birds. They packed some sandwiches, fruits, and water in a big bag. + +At the zoo, they saw many animals. They heard the lions roar, the monkeys chatter, and the birds sing. They fed some carrots to the giraffes and some nuts to the elephants. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they smelled something bad. They saw smoke and fire near the snake house. The zoo workers ran to put out the fire. Some people screamed and some people ran away. + +"Mom, Dad, what is happening?" Lily asked, scared. + +"Somebody was careless and left a candle near the snake house. It burned the grass and the wood. The fire is dangerous for the animals and the people. We have to go away from here," Dad explained. + +"Are the snakes okay?" Sam asked, worried. + +"I hope so, Sam. The zoo workers are trying to save them. Come on, let's go to the car. We will be safe there," Mom said. + +Lily and Sam held Mom and Dad's hands and walked to the car. They were sad and scared. They hoped the fire would stop soon and the animals would be okay. They prayed for the zoo. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have a big toy mill. The mill can make flour from wheat. Sara and Ben want to make bread with the flour. + +They go to the garden and pick some wheat. They put the wheat in the mill. They turn the handle. The mill makes a loud noise. Sara and Ben laugh. They see the flour come out of the mill. + +They take the flour to the kitchen. They ask their mom to help them. Mom is happy. She says, "You are very clever. You made your own flour. Now we can prepare the bread." + +Mom shows them how to mix the flour, water, yeast and salt. She kneads the dough. She puts the dough in a pan. She says, "We have to wait for the dough to rise. Then we can bake the bread." + +Sara and Ben wait patiently. They smell the bread in the oven. They are hungry. They can't wait to taste the bread. Mom takes the bread out of the oven. She cuts a slice for each of them. She says, "You did a great job. This is the most adorable bread I have ever seen." + +Sara and Ben smile. They thank their mom. They eat the bread. It is warm and soft and yummy. They share the bread with their dad and their dog. They are happy. They love their toy mill and their mom. +One day, a boy and his dog went to the park. They liked to play with the ball and run on the grass. The boy threw the ball and the dog ran to catch it. The dog was happy and the boy was happy. + +But then, a bad man saw the ball. He wanted the ball for himself. He was a thief. He ran to the ball and took it from the dog. The dog barked and the boy shouted. The thief ran away with the ball. + +The boy and the dog were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They ran after the thief. The thief was fast, but the boy and the dog were faster. They caught up with the thief. The dog bit the thief's leg and the boy grabbed the ball. The thief cried and said sorry. + +The boy and the dog were calm and brave. They did not hurt the thief. They told the thief to be good and not to take things that are not his. The thief said he was sorry again and ran away. The boy and the dog went back to the park. They played with the ball and had fun. They were happy again. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they liked the pond best. They saw ducks, fish and frogs. They wanted to touch them. + +"Look, a frog!" Ben said. He ran to the pond and reached his hand. But he slipped and fell in. Splash! + +Lila screamed. "Ben, Ben, are you okay?" She ran to the pond and saw Ben. He was wet and scared. He cried. "Help, help, I'm wet!" + +Lila looked around. She saw a big man. He was wearing a green shirt and a hat. He was a park ranger. He heard Lila and Ben. He ran to the pond and lifted Ben out. He wrapped him in a towel. + +"Are you okay, little boy?" the park ranger asked. He was kind and gentle. + +"I'm okay, thank you," Ben said. He was still wet, but he stopped crying. He hugged Lila. "I'm sorry, Lila, I was silly." + +"It's okay, Ben, I'm glad you're safe," Lila said. She hugged him back. "You're my best friend." + +The park ranger smiled. He helped Lila and Ben to restore their clothes and shoes. He gave them some cookies and juice. He told them to be careful near the pond. He said goodbye and left. + +Lila and Ben thanked him. They ate the cookies and drank the juice. They felt better. They decided to play somewhere else. They did not want to be wet again. They were happy. They were friends. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a big box, some paper, and a long cable. They pretend the box is a spaceship and the cable is a radio. + +"Tom, Tom, can you hear me?" Lily says into the cable. "I am in the spaceship and I need your help." + +"Yes, Lily, I can hear you. What is wrong?" Tom says into the other end of the cable. + +"There is a big problem, Tom. The spaceship is running out of fuel and I cannot go back to Earth. I need you to send me some fuel, fast!" Lily says. + +"Oh no, Lily, that is bad. How can I send you some fuel?" Tom says. + +"Look around, Tom. Maybe you can find something that can be fuel. Hurry, Tom, hurry!" Lily says. + +Tom looks around the living room. He sees a bottle of lemonade on the table. He thinks lemonade is yellow, like fuel. He grabs the bottle and runs to the box. + +"Lily, Lily, I have some fuel for you. I will send it to you with the cable. Hold on, Lily, hold on!" Tom says. + +He pours some lemonade into the cable and pushes it hard. The lemonade goes through the cable and reaches the box. + +"Lily, Lily, did you get the fuel? Are you okay?" Tom says. + +Lily feels something wet and sour on her face. She tastes it and makes a face. + +"Tom, Tom, this is not fuel. This is lemonade. It is sour and sticky. It does not make the spaceship go. It makes me go yuck!" Lily says. + +"Oops, sorry, Lily. I thought lemonade was fuel. I did not mean to make you go yuck. I wanted to help you." Tom says. + +"It is okay, Tom. You tried to help me. But next time, please do not send me lemonade. Send me something else. Maybe cookies. Cookies are good." Lily says. + +"Okay, Lily. Next time, I will send you cookies. Cookies are good. And maybe we can share them when you come back to Earth." Tom says. + +They laugh and hug. They are happy. They keep playing with their toys. They have fun. The end. +Tom and Anna were twins. They liked to draw and paint. One day, their teacher said they could display their art in the school hall. Tom and Anna were happy. They wanted to show their family their art. + +They worked hard on their art. Tom drew a big truck with red and blue. Anna painted a pretty flower with yellow and green. They wrote their names on their art. They were proud of their art. + +The next day, they went to the school hall with their teacher. They saw many other art from other kids. They looked for a place to display their art. They found a wall with some space. They hung their art on the wall with tape. + +They stepped back and looked at their art. They smiled. They thought their art looked good. They hoped their family would like their art too. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a fire alarm. The teacher said they had to leave the hall. They had to go outside. Tom and Anna were scared. They did not want to leave their art. They wanted to stay with their art. + +"Come on, Tom and Anna, we have to go!" the teacher said. "It's not safe here. Maybe it's a fire. We have to follow the rules." + +"But our art!" Tom said. "We want our art!" + +"Don't worry, your art will be okay," the teacher said. "We will come back later and get your art. I promise. Now, let's go!" + +Tom and Anna held hands. They followed the teacher. They went outside. They saw their family waiting for them. They ran to their family. They hugged their family. They felt safe. + +They told their family about their art. Their family said they were proud of them. They said they wanted to see their art. They said they loved them. + +Tom and Anna felt happy. They still wanted their art. But they knew their art was not as important as their family. They knew their family was the most important thing. They knew their family would always be there for them. +Tom and Sue like to play in the garden. They have a row of pots with flowers and herbs. They water them every day and watch them grow. + +One day, they see a pot that looks different. The leaves are brown and the stem is soft. Sue says, "What is wrong with this pot?" + +Tom says, "I think it is rot. Rot is when something is sick and old and dies. It is not good for the pot or the plant." + +Sue says, "How did it get rot? Did we do something bad?" + +Tom says, "No, we did not do anything bad. Sometimes rot just happens. Maybe there was too much water or too little sun. Maybe there was a bug or a worm that ate the plant." + +Sue says, "Can we fix it? Can we make it better?" + +Tom says, "I don't think so. Rot is hard to fix. Maybe we can get a new pot and a new plant. We can put the rot pot in the trash and say goodbye to it." + +Sue says, "Okay, let's do that. I am sad for the rot pot, but I am happy for the new pot. Maybe we can find a different plant that we like. Maybe a red one or a yellow one or a purple one." + +Tom says, "Yes, let's do that. I like different plants. They are pretty and fun and make the garden happy." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. They give him a name. They call him Bob. + +"Hello, Bob!" Lily says. "You are a funny snowman. Do you like the snow?" + +Bob does not say anything. He just smiles with his carrot nose. + +Tom laughs. "Bob cannot talk, Lily. He is made of snow. He is not alive." + +Lily frowns. "But he looks alive. He has eyes and a mouth and a nose. Maybe he is shy." + +Tom shakes his head. "No, Lily. He is not shy. He is cold. Snow is cold. If it gets warm, he will melt. Then he will become water." + +Lily gasps. "Oh no! I don't want Bob to become water. I want him to stay a snowman. He is our friend." + +Tom thinks. "Maybe we can help him. Maybe we can find a way to keep him cold. Then he will not melt." + +Lily nods. "Yes, let's do that. Let's find a way to keep Bob cold. Then he can be our friend for a long time." + +They look around. They see a big tree. They see some rocks. They see a pile of leaves. + +"What can we use?" Lily asks. + +Tom points. "Maybe we can use the tree. Maybe we can put Bob under the tree. Then the sun will not shine on him. Then he will stay cold." + +Lily agrees. "That is a good idea, Tom. Let's do that. Let's move Bob under the tree." + +They push and pull Bob. They move him under the tree. They pat him and hug him. + +"There, Bob. Now you are safe. Now you are cold. Now you can be our friend for a long time." Lily says. + +Bob does not say anything. He just smiles with his carrot nose. + +Lily and Tom smile too. They are happy. They have a funny snowman friend. They play with him under the tree. They have fun in the snow. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the jungle. They liked to climb trees, swing on vines and look for animals. One day, they saw a big, shiny thing in the sky. It was round and yellow and very bright. + +"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a big ball of fire," Tom said. + +"Can we touch it?" Lily wondered. + +"I don't think so. It looks very hot and far away," Tom said. + +They decided to try to get closer to the shiny thing. They walked and walked, but it seemed to move away from them. They got tired and thirsty and hungry. They started to feel upset. + +"Tom, I want to go back. I miss our home and our mommies and daddies," Lily said. + +"Me too, Lily. But I don't know where we are. We are lost," Tom said. + +They sat down on the ground and cried. They wished they had never followed the shiny thing. They wished they had stayed in their part of the jungle. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. It was a lion. It had seen them and wanted to eat them. They were very scared. They jumped up and ran as fast as they could. They hoped to find a safe place to hide. + +As they ran, they saw a familiar sight. It was their tree house. They had made it with their parents and it had their toys and blankets inside. They ran towards it and climbed up the ladder. They locked the door and hugged each other. + +They looked out the window and saw the lion. It was angry and hungry. It tried to climb the tree, but it was too big and clumsy. It fell down and hurt itself. It roared and limped away. + +Lily and Tom were happy and relieved. They had escaped the lion and found their home. They saw the shiny thing in the sky again. It was getting smaller and darker. It was going to sleep. + +"Goodbye, shiny thing. You are pretty, but you are not nice. You made us lost and upset and scared. We don't like you anymore," Lily said. + +"Me neither, Lily. We like our jungle and our tree house and our friends and our family. They are nice and they love us. We love them too," Tom said. + +They snuggled in their blankets and waited for their parents to come. They fell asleep and dreamed of happy things. They never followed the shiny thing again. +Sara likes to study worms. She has a big book with pictures of worms and their names. She likes to go outside and dig in the dirt to find worms. She puts them in a jar and looks at them with a magnifying glass. + +One day, she finds a very long and fat worm. She thinks it is the biggest worm she has ever seen. She shows it to her brother Tom, who is playing with his truck. + +"Look, Tom, look at my worm!" Sara says. "It is so big and wiggly!" + +Tom looks at the worm and makes a face. He does not like worms. He thinks they are gross and slimy. + +"Yuck, Sara, that is not a worm. That is an old snake!" Tom says. "It might bite you. You should let it go." + +Sara does not believe Tom. She knows the difference between a worm and a snake. She has seen snakes in her book. They have scales and eyes and tongues. Her worm does not have any of those things. + +"No, Tom, you are wrong. This is a worm. A very big and special worm. I want to study it more. Maybe I can learn something new." Sara says. + +She takes her worm and her book and goes to her room. She puts the worm on a paper and draws it. She tries to find its name in the book. She thinks it is a very interesting worm. She does not care what Tom says. She likes to study worms. +Anna was feeling sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. She did not want to play with her toys or watch TV. She just wanted to lie in bed and cuddle with her teddy bear. + +Her mom came into her room with a thermometer. She said, "Anna, I need to check your temperature. This will tell me how sick you are. It will not hurt, I promise. You just have to open your mouth and let me put this under your tongue." + +Anna was anxious. She did not like the thermometer. It looked like a stick with a red dot. She did not want to put it in her mouth. She thought it would taste bad or make her gag. She tried to resist. She shook her head and said, "No, no, no!" + +Her mom was gentle and patient. She said, "Anna, I know you are scared, but this is important. The thermometer will help me know if you need medicine or a doctor. It will only take a few seconds. Please, be a brave girl and cooperate." + +Anna looked at her mom's eyes. She saw that her mom loved her and wanted to help her. She trusted her mom. She decided to be brave. She nodded and said, "OK, OK, OK." + +Her mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Anna. You are a very good girl. Now, open your mouth and say 'ahh'." + +Anna opened her mouth and said, "Ahh". Her mom put the thermometer under her tongue and waited. After a few seconds, the thermometer beeped. Her mom took it out and looked at it. She said, "Anna, you have a fever. You need to take some medicine and drink some water. Then you can rest and get better." + +Anna did not like the medicine. It was bitter and sticky. But she swallowed it and drank some water. She hoped the medicine would make her feel better. She said, "Mom, I love you. Thank you for taking care of me." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I love you too, Anna. You are very welcome. I will always take care of you. Now, try to sleep and dream of something nice." + +Anna closed her eyes and snuggled with her teddy bear. She felt a little better. She was glad her mom was with her. She fell asleep and dreamed of playing in the park with her friends. +Sam was a lonely boy. He had no friends to play with. He liked to look at the big birds in the zoo. They had long necks and legs. They ran very fast. Sam wished he could run with them. + +One day, Sam saw a new bird in the zoo. It was an ostrich. It was bigger than the other birds. It had black and white feathers and a big beak. Sam thought it was beautiful. He wanted to say hello to it. + +Sam waited until no one was looking. He climbed over the fence. He entered the ostrich's pen. He walked slowly towards the ostrich. He smiled and waved. He said, "Hi, ostrich. I am Sam. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The ostrich looked at Sam. It was scared. It did not know who Sam was. It did not like strangers. It thought Sam was a danger. It opened its beak and hissed. It kicked Sam with its strong foot. It hurt Sam very much. + +Sam cried out loud. He fell to the ground. He was bleeding. He was sorry. He did not mean to upset the ostrich. He just wanted a friend. He heard people shouting. He saw the zookeeper running. He felt scared. He wished he had never entered the ostrich's pen. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with many ducks and geese. Sara liked the geese. She wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Can we go to the pond, Ben?" Sara asked. + +"OK, but be careful. The geese can be mean," Ben said. + +They walked to the pond and Sara took out some bread from her bag. She broke it into small pieces and threw them to the water. The ducks and geese came closer and ate the bread. Sara was happy. + +But one goose was greedy. He wanted all the bread for himself. He chased away the other birds and snapped at Sara and Ben. Sara and Ben were nervous. They ran away from the pond. + +"Stop, goose! Stop!" Sara shouted. + +But the goose did not stop. He followed them and tried to bite them. Sara and Ben were scared. They looked for help. + +They saw a man with a big hat and a stick. He was the park keeper. He saw the goose and the children. + +"Hey, you! Leave them alone!" he said to the goose. He waved his stick and made a loud noise. The goose was afraid. He stopped and ran back to the pond. + +Sara and Ben were safe. They thanked the park keeper. + +"Thank you, sir. You saved us from the goose," Ben said. + +"You're welcome, kids. But next time, don't feed the geese. They have enough food in the pond. And they can be very rude," the park keeper said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to play somewhere else. They did not like the goose anymore. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big gray train that could make sounds and move on the tracks. They would take turns to drive the train and pretend to go to different places. + +One day, their mom said, "It's time for lunch, kids. Come to the kitchen and wash your hands." Lily and Ben ran to the kitchen, hoping to see something yummy on the table. But when they got there, they saw a big plate of broccoli. They did not like broccoli. It was green and bitter and made them want to spit. + +"Mom, we don't want broccoli!" they said together. "We want pizza or macaroni or cookies!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Broccoli is good for you, my dears. It makes you strong and healthy and smart. You have to eat some before you can have dessert. And I have a surprise for you. If you eat your broccoli, you can play with the new toy I bought for you. It's something that will excite you very much." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other.

They saw a giant lion with big teeth. Dad said, "Let's run quick". + +Tommy and his Dad ran to the house. Dad quickly grabbed the video and put it on, so they could watch it and forget the lion. + +The lion was still outside and it kept roaring. It was very hungry and it wanted to find something to eat. + +The lion began to get closer and closer to Tommy and his Dad. Tommy was too scared to move. But, at last, the lion opened the door and it came inside! + +Tommy and his Dad did not have time to run away. The lion ate them both and then it roared one last time before it left. +Robbie and his mom were walking in the park when they saw a bakery with lots of yummy pastries. Robbie was so excited that he started to jump up and down and asked to go in. + +So, they went inside and Robbie couldn't resist all the delicious pastries. He wanted one of each! His mom saw him looking at the pastries, so she said “Robbie, we need to value what we have and not be too greedy. Let's just choose one pastry each - which one do you want?†+ +Robbie looked around and saw a big, bad pastry in the corner. He didn't like the look of it so he chose a different one. His mom smiled and said, “Good job, Robbie! That was a wise choice, the bad pastry didn't look very tasty!†+ +Robbie was happy with his treat and they went back outside to enjoy the sunshine. He loved the time he spent with his mom and the tasty pastry. This was a day he would always value. +Once there was a brilliant boy called Dave. Dave always wanted to do big things and so he plotted how to do them. One day he had a brilliant idea; he demanded that his mum give him a task to do. + +His mum told him it would be difficult, but Dave insisted. Finally she said she'd give him a task and gave Dave a broom and told him to sweep the floor. Dave eagerly accepted the challenge and set to work. + +For hours Dave worked, slowly but surely he swept the entire floor. When it was finished, Dave was so excited to show his mum. But when he turned to show her the work, she simply shook her head and said it hadn't been what she'd expected. Dave was so sad. He took his broom and went to his room and cried. + +His mum felt sorry for Dave, but she knew that not every task can end in success. Dave learnt a valuable lesson that day: sometimes tasks can be demanding and difficult, but it's better to try than miss out on a chance to be brilliant. +Once upon a time there were three friends who liked to talk about things together. One day, the friends decided to discuss what a value was. They had never heard of the word before and were very confused. + +The first friend looked up in the sky and said, "A value is something very special, like a star in the sky." + +The second friend looked around the playground and said, "A value is something important, like a swing at the park." + +The third friend thought for a few moments and then said, "A value is something you can trust, like a hug from a friend." + +The friends all smiled, feeling a little less confused. They agreed that values were important, special and something to trust. +Once upon a time there was a little boy named Josh. He had an adventure one day while walking through the forest.

He was so excited. He watched it move until it disappeared into the trees. Josh wanted to follow, but he was too scared. He sighed and continued walking. + +As he kept walking, he saw something else that made him stop. It was a big, mysterious door in the middle of the forest. It was as tall as a tree and it was carved with all kinds of strange symbols. Josh reached out, but something strange happened. The door wouldn't open! + +He sighed again and decided to leave. He walked away, deeper into the forest and further away from the mysterious door.

There are too many dangers." + +The baby tiger was sad, but he accepted his mother's decision and said, "Okay, Mama." + +But the baby tiger had an idea. He ran out into the garden and found a large stick. He pretended the stick was a tiger and they played together. The baby tiger had so much fun that he forgot all about going outside. + +Eventually, Mama came out and saw the baby tiger roaring and playing with the stick. She said, "I'm so glad you found a safe way to play. That was a clever idea!" +Once upon a time, a little girl named Ruby was going for a walk in the park. She was pushing her toy cart and feeling happy. + +As she walked around, she saw a bunny in the grass. The bunny looked harmless, so Ruby stopped and smiled. The bunny hopped closer and Ruby nodded. + +Then, the bunny hopped into Ruby's cart and Ruby giggled. She pushed the cart with the bunny in it back home. Ruby stopped in front of her house, and the bunny hopped out. It hopped away, and Ruby waved goodbye. + +Ruby was happy she got to meet the harmless bunny and she kept pushing her cart back inside. +Once upon a time there were two friends who were playing in the park. The first friend was Sally, who was three years old. The other friend was Molly, who was a little bit older than Sally. + +Molly had a bag full of nails and she asked Sally if she wanted to help her. Sally said yes and the two of them began to fill the nail box. Sally was confused, she had no idea what the nails were for. + +Molly smiled and explained that the nails were for building a hammock. Sally was still confused, she had never seen a hammock before. Molly showed Sally a picture of what a hammock looked like and Sally was very excited. + +Sally and Molly spent hours filling the nail box until finally the box was full.

But Sarah wanted to eat it all herself and not share it with anyone else. + +The musician said “No Sarah, you should share it with the other children. We worked together to make yummy food, so that everyone can enjoy itâ€. + +So Sarah shared the yummy food with all the other children, and everyone was happy. + +This story teaches us that it is important to share and be kind to others.

But remember, not all berries taste nice. This one is bitter." + +Lily: "Bitter? What does that mean?" + +Mom: "It means it will have a sour taste if you eat it." + +Lily: "Oh, okay. Maybe I won't move those berries too much!" + +And so, Lily left the berry bush alone and continued to explore her garden and all the other wonderful things in it. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who wanted to play in the big room.

Instead of giving up, she stayed restless. Suddenly, she heard a noise. It was the sound of her mom coming home from work. She quickly hopped out of the sink and ran to greet her mom. Even though the sink wasn't comfy, the girl was happy! She thought it was nice to sit in the sink and smile at her mom. +Once upon a time there was a elderly lady who loved mysteries. She loved reading them, listening to them and even solving them. One day she was trying to solve a mystery when her little grand daughter came to visit. The little girl had an idea that would solve the mystery. The elderly lady disagreed with the idea and shook her head no. + +The little girl was upset, so she decided to solve the mystery herself. She thought and thought until a idea came to her. She repeated her idea to the elderly lady and the lady agreed this time. + +The elderly lady was surprised and excited to see how the little girl could solve a mystery. They worked together and solved the mystery. They were both super happy! + +The end. +Sally was at home and she was very bored.

It made Sally so happy! +Pete and his mommy were walking to the park. Pete looked up at the sky. The clouds were grey and the wind was blowing. "Mommy, what's the weather going to be?" he asked. + +"I'm not sure, Pete," said his mommy. "We can guess it will be windy and cloudy, but it's hard to tell. Let's keep going and see if it changes." + +Pete and his mommy kept walking. Soon, they heard thunder. Pete got scared and ran to his mommy. She hugged him and said, "It's ok, Pete. It's just the weather. There's nothing to be fearful of." + +But Pete was still feeling a little scared. He wished the weather would go away. His mommy told him that guessing was a much better way to think about it. So he guessed that it was just a storm and it would go away soon. + +Luckily, his guess was right. After a few more minutes, the storm clouds went away and the blue sky came out. "See, Pete," said his mommy. "Everything worked out ok. You can stop being fearful now." + +Pete smiled and held his mommy's hand as they continued to walk to the park.

"Let's go play near the water," she said to her dog. + +They walked over to the river but the ground was too rough for Jane's small feet. She started to get scared but her dog stayed close and licked her face. Jane knew what her pet meant.

She decided to design a game based on this different shadow! She made up rules and played it all afternoon, until the strange shadow began to fade away. + +Daisy was a little sad. But she learned a valuable lesson - wonderful things can appear if you look in unexpected places! +"Mummy, what's that?" asked 3 year old Timmy, pointing at the fancy machine on the kitchen counter. + +"That is a mixer, Timmy. It is used to mix or blend things together," Mummy explained. + +Timmy was hesitant to accept this new machine and watched silently as Mummy started to use it.

Every day it grew more confident in its song and in its flying. + +One day it began to fly further and further away and it started to get lost. The bird called out its beautiful song, but this time it didn't receive any response. The bird flew around desperately but it could not find its way back to the forest. + +The bird learned an important lesson - never get too confident and scatter too far away.

Every day, he would sneak away to get it then slip back with it to his room. + +The boy was curious about the jar, but he never asked the old man about it.
