"I dropped it when I was diving. Give me back my camera!" + +Lily was scared and confused. She didn't know the boy and she didn't know he had a camera too. She tried to say sorry, but she couldn't talk under the water. She gave him back his camera and swam up to the surface. + +She took off her goggles and saw her mom waiting for her. "Lily, are you okay?" her mom asked. "You were under the water for a long time. Did you have fun?" + +Lily nodded and showed her mom the pictures she took.

He looked around and did not see Lily. He was worried and wanted to find her. He followed her scent and found her in the bushes. He saw the ball and barked. + +"Lily, what are you doing? Come back, this is not safe. There might be mean animals or sharp things in the bushes. You could get hurt or lost." + +Lily looked at Max and meowed. She did not want to leave the ball. She thought it was pretty and fun. She put her paw on the ball and hissed. + +"Go away, Max. This is my ball. I found it and I like it. You have your own toys, leave me alone." + +Max was sad and angry. He did not like Lily's attitude. He wanted to play with her and share the ball. He thought she was being selfish and rude. He growled and snapped. + +"Lily, you are being a bad friend. You are not sharing and you are not listening. The ball is not worth it. Come on, let's go back to the garden. We can play with other things and have fun together." + +Lily was scared and sorry. She saw that Max was right. She was being a bad friend. She did not want to lose Max or the garden. She let go of the ball and ran to Max. She rubbed her head against his leg and purred. + +"Max, I am sorry. You are a good friend. I was silly and greedy. The ball is not important. You are important. Can we still play and have fun together?" + +Max licked Lily's ear and wagged his tail. He forgave her and was happy. He was a good friend. He picked up the ball and gave it to Lily. + +"Lily, you are a good friend too. I am sorry I barked and snapped. The ball is not mine or yours. It is ours. We can share it and play with it together. Come on, let's go back to the garden. We can have fun together." + +Lily and Max ran back to the garden, holding the ball in their mouths.

It splashes Lily and Sam. They laugh. + +They carry the bucket to the creek. They look at the fish. It has shiny scales and a long tail. It looks at them with big eyes. + +"Bye, fish," Lily says.

It pulls. She does not like them. They do not fit. + +She hears her mom calling her. She runs to the door. She forgets to take off the jewelry. She trips on the necklace and falls. The jewelry breaks and scatters on the floor. She cries. + +Her mom comes and sees the mess. She is angry and sad. She says, "Anna, what did you do? This was my jewelry. It was very special. It was a gift from your grandma. She is not here anymore. You should not touch it. You should not bounce with it. You should be careful and respectful." + +Anna feels sorry and ashamed. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not know. I just wanted to play. I thought they were toys. I did not mean to break them. I love you and grandma. Can you forgive me?" + +Her mom hugs her and says, "I love you too, Anna. I forgive you. But you have to learn to ask before you take something that is not yours. And you have to be gentle with things that are fragile and precious. They are not for bouncing. They are for remembering and cherishing." + +Anna nods and says, "I understand, mom. I will do better. Can we fix the jewelry?" + +Her mom says, "Maybe we can. Let's try. And maybe we can find some jewelry that fits you and that you can play with. But only when you are not bouncing." +Tim and Sam were playing with a leather ball in the park. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they threw the ball very high and far. + +One time, Tim threw the ball too hard and it went over the fence. Sam ran after the ball and saw a big dog on the other side. The dog was barking and growling. It had the ball in its mouth and did not want to give it back. + +"Hey, dog, that is our ball!" Sam shouted. "Give it back, please!" + +But the dog did not listen. It ran away with the ball and disappeared behind a house. Sam was sad and angry. He had lost his leather ball. + +He went back to Tim and told him what happened. Tim was sad and angry, too. He liked his leather ball. It was a gift from his dad. + +"That is a bad dog!" Tim said. "It stole our ball!" + +They decided to go home and tell their parents. Maybe they could get a new ball or find the bad dog and get their ball back. They hoped the dog would not ruin their leather ball. They loved their leather ball. It was their favorite toy. +Anna was very happy. It was her birthday and she had a big cake and many balloons. She also had a big present from her mom and dad. She wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +But then her brother Tom came. Tom was bad. He liked to take Anna's things and make her cry. He saw the present and wanted it for himself. He grabbed it and ran away. + +"Tom, give it back!" Anna shouted. "That is my present, not yours!" + +"No, it is mine now!" Tom said. He ran to his room and locked the door. + +Anna was very sad. She cried and cried. She wanted her present back. She knocked on Tom's door and asked him to open it. But Tom did not answer. + +Mom and dad heard Anna crying and came to see what was wrong. They saw Tom's door was locked and Anna was outside. They asked Anna what happened. + +"Tom took my present and vanished!" Anna sobbed. "He is bad, he is bad!" + +Mom and dad were angry. They told Tom to open the door and give back Anna's present. But Tom did not listen. He hid under his bed and held the present tight. + +Mom and dad had a key. They opened Tom's door and went inside. They saw Tom under the bed and the present in his hands. They scolded Tom and told him to say sorry to Anna and give her back her present. + +Tom was scared. He knew he did something wrong. He came out from under the bed and gave Anna her present. He said sorry to Anna and mom and dad. + +Anna was happy. She hugged Tom and forgave him. She opened her present and saw a beautiful doll. She thanked mom and dad and shared her cake and balloons with Tom. + +Mom and dad were proud. They hugged Anna and Tom and told them they loved them. They said they were sorry for Tom's bad behavior and hoped he would learn to be nice. + +Tom felt sorry. He realized he hurt Anna and made her sad. He promised to be nice and not take her things again. + +Anna and Tom smiled. They played with the doll and had fun. They were happy. They were siblings. +Sara had a big ouch on her knee. She fell down when she was playing with her bike. Mommy put a band-aid on it and gave her a hug. She said, "Don't worry, Sara. Your knee will heal soon. You are very brave." + +But Sara was still sad. She wanted to play with her bike again, but it hurt too much. She asked Mommy, "Can I have a pill to make it better?" + +Mommy shook her head. She said, "No, Sara. A pill is not for this kind of ouch. A pill is for when you are sick or have a fever. You just need to rest and let your body heal itself. That's how it works." + +Sara did not like that answer. She said, "But I want to be perfect again. I don't like this ouch. It's ugly and itchy." + +Mommy smiled and kissed her knee. She said, "You are perfect, Sara. Even with your ouch. You are my perfect girl. And your ouch will go away soon. You will see. It will become a small scar, and then it will fade. And you will have a story to tell about how you rode your bike so fast and so well." + +Sara felt a little better. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you. Can I have a cookie?" + +Mommy laughed and said, "Yes, you can have a cookie. But only one. And then you have to take a nap. That will help you heal too." + +Sara nodded and took a bite of her cookie. She thought, "Maybe Mommy is right. Maybe my ouch will heal soon. And maybe I can play with my bike again tomorrow. That would be perfect." +Lily likes to sing. She sings all the time. She sings in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sings in the car, in the bath, and in her bed. She sings happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. + +One day, Lily's mom and dad have a surprise for her. They give her a big box with a bow. Lily opens the box and sees a microphone. A microphone is a thing that makes your voice louder. Lily is very happy. She says, "Thank you, mom and dad! I love it!" + +Lily wants to try her microphone. She holds it in her hand and sings a song. But the microphone is rough. It hurts her hand. Lily says, "Ow, ow, ow! This microphone is rough! It is not nice!" + +Lily's mom and dad look at the microphone. They see that it is not a real microphone. It is a toy microphone. It is made of wood and has sandpaper on it. Lily's mom and dad say, "Oh, no! We are sorry, Lily! We did not know it was a toy microphone. We thought it was a real microphone. We will take it back and get you a real microphone. A real microphone is smooth and soft. It does not hurt your hand." + +Lily says, "It's okay, mom and dad. I know you love me. I still like to sing. I can sing without a microphone. But I will be happy to receive a real microphone. Then I can sing louder and better." Lily hugs her mom and dad and sings a song. She sings, "I love my mom and dad. They are the best. They give me nice things. They make me happy." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with green things in it. Lily says, "Look, Ben, those are crocodiles. They are scary and mean. We should not go near them." + +Ben says, "No, Lily, those are not crocodiles. They are logs. They are not scary or mean. They are just wood. We can sit on them and have fun." + +Lily says, "No, Ben, you are stupid. They are crocodiles. They have teeth and eyes and tails. They can bite you and hurt you. You should not sit on them." + +Ben says, "No, Lily, you are silly. They are logs. They have no teeth or eyes or tails. They cannot bite me or hurt me. I will sit on them and show you." + +Ben runs to the pond and jumps on one of the green things. He says, "See, Lily, I am sitting on a log. It is not a crocodile. It is not scary or mean. It is just wood." + +But then, the green thing moves. It opens its mouth and shows its teeth. It snaps at Ben and makes a loud noise. It is a crocodile. It is scary and mean. It is not wood. + +Ben screams and jumps off the crocodile. He runs back to Lily. He says, "Lily, you were right. It was a crocodile. It was scary and mean. It was not wood. I was stupid. I should not have sat on it." + +Lily hugs Ben and says, "It is okay, Ben. I am glad you are safe. You are not stupid. You are brave. But next time, listen to me. Do not sit on crocodiles." +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Daisy. Daisy had a pink dress and long hair. Lily always gave Daisy a hug before bed. + +One day, Lily's friend Anna came to visit. Anna saw Daisy and said, "What a pretty doll! Can I borrow her?" Lily did not want to share Daisy. She said, "No, Daisy is mine. You can play with another doll." + +Anna was sad. She said, "Please, Lily, just for a little while. I will be careful with her. I just want to comb her hair and dress her up." Lily still did not want to share Daisy. She said, "No, Daisy is important to me. She has a label that says 'Lily's doll'. See?" She showed Anna the label on Daisy's dress. + +Anna looked at the label. She said, "Oh, I see. I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know Daisy was so special to you. I have a doll too, her name is Ruby. She has a label that says 'Anna's doll'. Do you want to see?" Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I want to see Ruby. Maybe we can play with both dolls together." + +Anna smiled. She said, "Okay, Lily. That sounds like fun. Let's go to my house and get Ruby. Then we can come back and play with Daisy and Ruby. Maybe they can be friends too." Lily agreed. She said, "Yes, Anna. That sounds like a good idea. Let's go." She took Daisy and followed Anna. They went to Anna's house and got Ruby. Then they came back and played with both dolls. They had a good time. They learned to share and be kind. +Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun with motion. One day, they see a big box near the trees. It is unknown to them. They are curious. + +"Let's find out what is in the box," Ben says. + +"OK, but be careful," Mia says. + +They walk to the box and look inside. They see many toys. There are cars, dolls, balls and books. They are happy. + +"Wow, look at all these toys," Ben says. + +"Maybe someone left them for us," Mia says. + +They take out some toys and start to play. They make noises and stories. They forget about the box. + +But the box is not empty. There is something else in the box. Something that moves and makes a sound. Something that is not a toy. Something that is alive. + +It is a kitten. A small, black kitten. It is scared and hungry. It wants to find a friend. + +It sees Ben and Mia playing. It crawls out of the box and walks to them. It meows softly. + +Ben and Mia hear the meow. They stop playing and look around. They see the kitten. It is cute. + +"Look, a kitten," Ben says. + +"Hello, kitten," Mia says. + +They go to the kitten and pet it. It purrs and rubs against them. It likes them. + +"Can we keep it?" Ben asks. + +"Please, please, please," Mia begs. + +They look at each other and smile. They have found a new friend. They hug the kitten and take it home. They name it Box. They are happy. +Anna loved her pony very much. Her pony was brown and white and had a long mane. She liked to brush her pony and feed her carrots. Her pony liked to run and jump and play with Anna. + +But one day, Anna's dad said they had to sell the pony. He said they had no money and no space for the pony. He said someone else would take good care of the pony. Anna was very sad and angry. She did not want to sell her pony. She wanted to keep her pony forever. + +She ran to her pony and hugged her. She said, "I love you, pony. You are my best friend. You are the most beautiful pony in the world. I don't want to sell you. I don't want to say goodbye." + +The pony nuzzled Anna and whinnied softly. She said, "I love you, too, Anna. You are my best friend. You are the most beautiful girl in the world. I don't want to sell you. I don't want to say goodbye." + +But Anna's dad came and took the pony away. He put her in a trailer and drove away. Anna cried and cried. She watched the trailer disappear. She said, "Goodbye, pony. I will miss you. I will never forget you." + +The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see an enormous slide. It is very high and long. Anna and Ben want to try it. + +"Let's go, Anna!" Ben says. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Anna follows him. They are both excited. + +When they reach the top, they look down. The slide is very steep and fast. Ben is not afraid. He sits on the slide and pushes himself. "Whee!" he shouts as he slides down. + +Anna is a little scared. She hesitates. She does not want to slide down. But she does not want to go back either. She sees Ben waiting for her at the bottom. He smiles and waves at her. "Come on, Anna! It's fun!" he says. + +Anna decides to be brave. She sits on the slide and holds on tight. She closes her eyes and slides down. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She opens her eyes and sees Ben. He is laughing. She is laughing too. She did it! + +They slide down again and again. They have a lot of fun. They forget about everything else. Until Anna slides too fast and bumps into Ben. They both fall on the ground. They feel pain in their knees and elbows. They cry. + +A lady comes to help them. She is nice. She has a band-aid and a bottle of water. She cleans their wounds and puts the band-aid on them. She gives them some water and a hug. She tells them to be careful. + +Anna and Ben say thank you. They feel better. They look at each other and smile. They are still friends. They laugh. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They are happy. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog is rude. He runs after Tom and Sue. He barks loud. He tries to take their ball and their kite. Tom and Sue are scared. + +"Go away, rude dog!" Tom says. "You are not nice. You are not our friend." + +But the dog does not listen. He keeps chasing Tom and Sue. He makes them cry. + +Then, a man comes to the park. The man is the dog's owner. He sees the dog and Tom and Sue. He is angry. + +"Bad dog!" the man says. "You are rude. You are not allowed to bother Tom and Sue. They are good kids. You have to say sorry." + +The man makes the dog sit. He makes the dog give back the ball and the kite. He makes the dog wag his tail. He makes the dog lick Tom and Sue's faces. + +"Sorry, Tom and Sue," the dog says. "I was rude. I was bored. I wanted to play. Can we be friends?" + +Tom and Sue look at the dog. They look at the man. They look at each other. They are not scared anymore. They are brave. + +"OK, dog," Tom says. "We can be friends. But you have to be nice. You have to share. You have to listen." + +"OK, Tom," the dog says. "I will be nice. I will share. I will listen." + +Tom and Sue smile. They give the dog a hug. They give the man a thank you. They play with the dog and the man. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily wanted to help her mom with the laundry. She saw a big basket of socks and decided to match them and make pairs. She took two socks that looked the same and tied them together with a knot. She did this for all the socks in the basket. + +"Look, mom, I tied the socks!" Lily said proudly, holding up the basket. + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "You did a great job, sweetie. You are very helpful and smart. You deserve a reward for your hard work." + +"A reward? What is a reward?" Lily asked, curious. + +"A reward is something nice that you get for doing something good. Like a sticker, or a cookie, or a hug. What reward would you like?" Mom asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked stickers, and cookies, and hugs. But she also liked something else. She pointed to a book on the shelf. "Can I have a story, mom? I love stories." + +"Of course, you can have a story. That's a wonderful reward. Come, let's sit on the couch and read together." Mom said, taking the book and Lily's hand. + +Lily was very happy. She snuggled with mom on the couch and listened to the story. She felt warm and cozy. She was glad she tied the socks. She learned a new word and got a nice reward. She gave mom a big kiss and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." +Lily liked to play with her stamps. She had many stamps with different pictures on them. She could make cards and letters with her stamps. She felt happy when she stamped. + +One day, she wanted to show her stamps to her friend Tom. She put her stamps in a bag and went to his house. She knocked on the door and waited. + +But when the door opened, it was not Tom. It was a big dog with sharp teeth and loud bark. The dog jumped at Lily and tried to grab her bag. Lily felt frightened and screamed. + +"Help! Help!" she cried. + +Tom heard Lily and ran to the door. He saw the dog and shouted. + +"Bad dog! Go away!" he said. He pushed the dog away and took Lily's hand. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" he asked. + +Lily nodded. She was still scared, but she was glad Tom was there. + +"Thank you, Tom," she said. + +Tom smiled. He took her inside and gave her a hug. + +"Let's play with your stamps," he said. + +Lily smiled too. She felt safe and happy with her friend. She opened her bag and showed him her stamps. They had fun stamping together. +Tom and Lily are playing in the pool. They like to swim and splash and have fun. Tom has a hoop that can float on the water. He says to Lily, "Look what I can do!" He dives under the water and swims through the hoop. He comes up and smiles. + +Lily claps and says, "Wow, Tom, you are very good! Can I try?" Tom nods and gives her the hoop. He holds it in the water for her. Lily dives under the water and tries to swim through the hoop. But she is not as flexible as Tom. She gets stuck in the hoop and cannot get out. + +Tom sees that Lily is in trouble. He dives under the water again and helps her out of the hoop. He brings her to the surface and hugs her. He says, "Are you okay, Lily?" Lily coughs and nods. She says, "Thank you, Tom, you are very brave! I'm sorry, I'm not very good at diving." + +Tom says, "That's okay, Lily, you don't have to be sorry. You are good at other things. Like singing and drawing and making jokes. You make me laugh a lot. And you are my best friend." + +Lily smiles and says, "You are my best friend too, Tom. And you are very kind and smart and strong. And you are very good at diving. Can you teach me how to do it?" + +Tom says, "Sure, Lily, I can teach you. But first, let's take a break and have some juice and cookies. And then we can play some more." + +They get out of the pool and run to the table where their mom has prepared some snacks for them. They eat and drink and talk and laugh. They are very happy. They love to play in the pool. And they love each other. +Lila and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a big box of blocks, a robot, and a blanket. They liked to build things with the blocks and make the robot move and talk. + +"Let's make a house for the robot," Lila said. "He needs a place to sleep and rest." + +"OK," Tom said. "I will make the walls and the roof. You make the door and the windows." + +They worked together and soon they had a nice house for the robot. They put the robot inside and gave him a pillow and a teddy bear. + +"Good night, robot," Lila said. "We will play with you again tomorrow." + +"Thank you, Lila and Tom," the robot said. "You are very kind and smart. I like your house. It is cozy and safe." + +Lila and Tom smiled. They were happy that the robot liked their house. They wanted to make him feel welcome and loved. + +"Let's cover him with the blanket," Tom said. "So he can be warm and comfortable." + +"Good idea," Lila said. "Here, help me." + +They took the blanket and covered the robot with it. They tucked him in and kissed him good night. + +"Sweet dreams, robot," they said. + +The robot closed his eyes and made a soft humming sound. He was very grateful and happy. He had found two good friends and a nice home. + +Lila and Tom were very successful. They had made a house for the robot and made him happy. They were proud of themselves and each other. + +They went to their own beds and fell asleep. They dreamed of playing with the robot again. They were a happy team. +Lila liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Amy. Amy had a silver dress and a silver hat. Lila thought Amy was very pretty and modest. + +One day, Lila wanted to match Amy. She looked in her closet and found a silver skirt and a silver shirt. She put them on and smiled. She looked in the mirror and said, "Now I match Amy!" + +She ran to the living room, where her mom was reading a book. She showed her mom her outfit and said, "Look, mom, I match Amy!" + +Her mom looked up and smiled. She said, "You do match Amy, Lila. You both look very lovely and modest. But you know what? You are also very special and unique. No one else is like you, Lila. You have your own beauty and personality. And I love you very much." + +Lila hugged her mom and said, "I love you too, mom. And I love Amy. Can we play with her together?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, Lila. Let's play with Amy and have some fun." +Tom was a curious boy who liked to explore the farm. One day, he saw a big pile of squash near the barn. He wanted to touch them and see how they felt. He ran to the pile and picked up a yellow squash. It was smooth and heavy in his hand. + +He saw a bigger squash that was orange and round. He wanted to lift it, but it was too heavy for him. He tried to push it, but it did not move. He wondered what was inside the squash. He looked for a stick to poke it, but he did not find any. + +He saw his dad coming from the field. He waved to him and said, "Dad, look at the squash! Can I open one?" + +His dad smiled and said, "Sure, Tom. But you have to be careful. Some squash have seeds and some have strings. They can be messy." + +He took a knife from his pocket and cut a small hole in the orange squash. He gave the knife to Tom and said, "You can lay the squash on the ground and pull out what's inside. But don't cut yourself." + +Tom was excited. He lay the squash on the ground and put his hand in the hole. He felt something wet and slimy. He pulled it out and saw a bunch of seeds and strings. He made a face and said, "Ew, this is gross!" + +His dad laughed and said, "That's how squash are. But they are good to eat. You can make soup or pie with them. Do you want to try?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He was curious about how the squash tasted. He nodded and said, "Yes, please. Can we make pie?" + +His dad said, "Sure, we can. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. We can wash the squash and cut it into pieces. Then we can add sugar and spice and bake it in the oven. It will be yummy." + +Tom smiled and said, "OK, dad. Let's go. I like squash pie." He dropped the seeds and strings and followed his dad to the kitchen. He was happy to learn something new about squash. +Lily and Ben are playing in the snow. They make a big pile of snow and use a bucket to make blocks. They want to build an igloo, like the ones they saw in a book. + +"Look, I have a block!" Lily says, holding up a bucket of snow. + +"Me too!" Ben says, doing the same. + +They put their blocks on the ground and try to match them. They make a circle of blocks and leave a hole for the door. Then they make another layer of blocks on top of the first one. + +"We need more blocks!" Lily says. + +They look around and see a lot of snow available. They fill their buckets again and again, and make more blocks. They work hard and have fun. + +Soon, they finish their igloo. It is small, but cozy. They crawl inside and sit on a blanket. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Ben says. + +"I like our igloo!" Lily says. + +They smile and hug each other. They are happy and proud of their snow house. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a plan. They want to make a big castle with sand and sticks and stones. + +They find a good spot near the slide. They start to dig and pile up the sand. They look for sticks and stones to make the walls and towers. They are having fun. + +But then they see a big dog. The dog is running towards them. He looks hungry and angry. He barks loud. Lily and Tom are scared. + +"Run!" Tom says to Lily. "We have to hide!" + +They run to the bin. The bin is big and green. It has a lid. They open the lid and jump inside. They close the lid. They hope the dog will not find them. + +They hear the dog sniffing and scratching around the bin. They hold each other and shiver. They wish the dog would go away. + +After a while, they hear a voice. It is Lily's mom. She is looking for them. + +"Lily! Tom! Where are you?" she calls. + +Lily and Tom are happy to hear her. They open the lid and shout. + +"Mom! We are here! In the bin!" + +Lily's mom is surprised and worried. She runs to the bin and helps them out. + +"What are you doing in the bin?" she asks. + +"We were playing. We had a plan. We wanted to make a castle. But then a dog came. He was hungry and angry. He chased us. We had to hide. The bin was the only place. We were scared." Lily and Tom explain. + +Lily's mom hugs them and says. + +"I'm glad you are safe. But you should not play in the bin. The bin is dirty and smelly. It is not a good place to hide. It is not a good place to play. The bin is for trash. Not for children." + +Lily and Tom nod. They understand. They say sorry. + +"Can we still play in the park?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, you can. But stay away from the dog. And stay away from the bin. And stay close to me. You are important to me. I love you." Lily's mom says. + +Lily and Tom smile. They love their mom too. They hold her hand and walk to the slide. They still want to play. They still have a plan. They still want to make a castle. But they will not use the bin. They will use something else. Something better. Something safer. Something funnier. They will use their imagination. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play and joke. One day, they go to the store with Lily's mom. They see many things in the store. They see toys, books, food, and clothes. + +Lily and Tom want to have fun. They see a big hat with flowers. Lily puts the hat on her head. She says, "Look at me, I am a princess!" Tom laughs. He says, "You are a funny princess!" + +Then they see a big coat with fur. Tom puts the coat on his body. He says, "Look at me, I am a bear!" Lily laughs. She says, "You are a silly bear!" + +Lily's mom sees them. She is not happy. She says, "Stop that! You are making a mess! These are not your things! These are for sale! You are being stupid!" + +Lily and Tom feel bad. They say, "Sorry, mom. We were just joking. We did not mean to be stupid." Lily's mom says, "It's okay. I know you were joking. But you have to be careful. You have to respect other people's things. And you have to listen to me. Do you understand?" Lily and Tom say, "Yes, mom. We understand." + +Lily's mom gives them a hug. She says, "I love you. You are good kids. But next time, no more jokes in the store. Okay?" Lily and Tom say, "Okay, mom. No more jokes in the store." They smile. They are still friends. They still like to play and joke. But not in the store. +Lily and Ben were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box full of treasure: shiny coins, pretty necklaces, and colorful rings. They took turns burying and digging up the treasure, and pretending to fight off enemies. + +"Arrr, matey, this is the best treasure ever!" Ben said, holding up a coin. + +"Shh, Ben, someone might hear us and try to steal it!" Lily said, looking around nervously. + +They decided to hide the treasure under a big bush, and cover it with leaves and dirt. They made a map with a red X to mark the spot, and put it in their pocket. + +They went inside to have a snack, and then came back to the garden to play some more. But when they looked for the bush, they couldn't find it. It had disappeared! + +"Where is our treasure?" Lily cried. + +"Maybe someone took it!" Ben said. + +They searched all over the garden, but they couldn't find the bush or the treasure. They were very sad and angry. + +"Who would do this to us?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, but we have to find them!" Ben said. + +They followed some footprints that led to the fence. They climbed over the fence, and saw their neighbor, Sam, playing with their treasure in his yard. + +"Hey, that's ours!" Lily shouted. + +"Give it back, you thief!" Ben yelled. + +Sam looked surprised and scared. He dropped the treasure and ran away. + +Lily and Ben picked up their treasure and put it back in the box. They were very happy and relieved. + +"Let's go back to our garden, and find a better hiding place," Lily said. + +"Good idea, matey," Ben said. + +They carried the box over the fence, and smiled at each other. They had found their treasure, and they had learned a lesson. They would never let it disappear again. +One day, Tom and Mia were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box for a ship, a stick for a sword, and a scarf for a flag. They pretended to sail on the sea and look for treasure. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Tom said. "Do you see any land?" + +"No, captain," Mia said. "But I see a big bird in the sky. Maybe it knows where the treasure is." + +They waved at the bird and shouted, "Hello, bird! Can you help us?" + +But the bird was not friendly. It was a big, black crow that liked to steal shiny things. It saw Tom's stick and wanted it for itself. It flew down and tried to grab the stick with its beak. + +"Hey, that's my sword!" Tom said. He held on to the stick and pulled it away from the crow. The crow was angry and pecked at Tom's hand. Tom cried out in pain and let go of the stick. The crow flew away with it, cawing loudly. + +Tom and Mia were fearful. They did not like the crow. They wanted their stick back. They looked around and saw a pile of stones. They had an idea. + +"Let's throw stones at the crow!" Mia said. "Maybe it will drop the stick." + +"Good idea!" Tom said. He picked up a stone and threw it at the crow. Mia did the same. They threw and threw, but the crow was too fast and too high. They missed every time. + +The crow laughed at them and said, "Ha ha ha! You can't catch me! I have your sword and you have nothing!" + +Tom and Mia were sad and angry. They did not know what to do. They wished they had a real pirate to help them. Then they heard a voice behind them. + +"Arrr, me hearties! What's all this noise?" It was Tom's dad, who had come home from work. He saw Tom and Mia and their box ship. He smiled and said, "Are you playing pirates?" + +"Yes, dad," Tom said. "But a bad crow stole our sword and we can't get it back." + +"A crow, eh?" Tom's dad said. "That's no match for a pirate. Here, let me show you how to throw a stone." + +He picked up a stone and threw it at the crow with a mighty force. The stone hit the crow's wing and made it drop the stick. The stick fell to the ground and Tom ran to get it. + +"Yay, dad!" Tom said. "You got our sword back! You're the best pirate ever!" + +Tom's dad hugged him and said, "No, son, you're the best pirate ever. You and Mia are brave and clever. Now, how about we share some treasure? I have some cookies in the kitchen." + +"Yay, cookies!" Mia said. "Thank you, dad!" + +They all went inside and ate cookies. They were happy and forgot about the crow. They had a fun pirate adventure. The end. +Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They see many trees and flowers and birds. They also see a squirrel. The squirrel is orange and has a big tail. It runs fast and jumps from tree to tree. + +"Look, look!" Ben says. "An orange squirrel! Let's follow it!" + +"OK!" Mia says. They run after the squirrel. They try to be quiet, but the squirrel hears them. It stops and looks at them with its black eyes. + +"Hello, squirrel!" Ben says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The squirrel makes a noise. It sounds like "chirp, chirp". Then it runs away again. + +"Wait, wait!" Mia says. "Don't go, squirrel! We are nice!" + +But the squirrel does not wait. It finds a hole in a tree and goes inside. It is safe and cozy there. + +"Bye, bye, squirrel!" Ben says. "Maybe we can play another day!" + +Ben and Mia are sad. They wanted to play with the squirrel. But they are also happy. They saw an orange squirrel. That is not very common. They end their play and go back to their mom. They tell her about the squirrel. She smiles and hugs them. + +"That sounds like a fun adventure!" she says. "Maybe you can see the squirrel again next time. But remember, squirrels are wild animals. They are not pets. They like to be free and live in the trees." + +Ben and Mia nod. They understand. They love the park and the animals. They hope the squirrel is happy too. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were their babies and they had to take care of them. Lily had a pink doll and Ben had a blue doll. + +"Is your baby hungry?" Lily asked Ben. She had a bottle of milk for her doll and she wanted to share. + +"Yes, he is hungry," Ben said. He took the bottle from Lily and gave it to his doll. "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend." + +Lily smiled and hugged her doll. She was happy that Ben liked her milk. She looked around and saw a big tree with red apples. She liked apples. They were sweet and juicy. + +"Can we get some apples?" Lily questioned Ben. She pointed to the tree. "They look yummy." + +Ben nodded and put his doll down. He was hungry too. He liked apples. They were crunchy and fresh. + +"Let's go," Ben said. He took Lily's hand and they ran to the tree. They saw a ladder leaning against the trunk. They climbed up the ladder and picked some apples. They were careful not to fall. + +They ate the apples and shared them with their dolls. They were happy and full. They winked at each other and laughed. They had a fun day in the park. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big truck with a picture of ice-cream on it. They run to the truck and ask for ice-cream. + +The man in the truck is friendly. He smiles and says, "What kind of ice-cream do you want?" + +Anna says, "I want chocolate, please." + +Ben says, "I want vanilla, please." + +The man says, "OK, let me measure your ice-cream. How big do you want it?" + +Anna says, "I want a big one!" + +Ben says, "I want a bigger one!" + +The man laughs and says, "OK, OK, I will give you big ice-creams. But you have to eat them fast, or they will melt." + +He gives them big cones with ice-cream on top. Anna and Ben say, "Thank you!" and lick their ice-cream. They are happy and share their ice-cream with their moms. They enjoy the sweet and cold treat in the sun. +Lily and Ben were playing at the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish and shells and crabs. They were having fun. + +Then they saw something big and purple in the water. It had eight long arms and a round head. It was an octopus. Lily and Ben were curious. They wanted to see it closer. + +They swam towards the octopus. The octopus saw them too. It was fearful. It did not like strangers. It wanted to be alone. It squirted ink at them and tried to swim away. + +But one of its arms got stuck on a rock. It could not move. It was scared. It started to make noises. + +Lily and Ben heard the noises. They felt sorry for the octopus. They wanted to help it. They swam to the rock and gently pulled the octopus's arm. The octopus felt the pull. It stopped making noises. It looked at Lily and Ben. + +"Thank you," it said in a soft voice. "You are kind. I am sorry I squirted ink at you. I was afraid." + +"That's okay," Lily said. "We were afraid too. But now we are friends. What is your name?" + +"My name is Ollie," the octopus said. "What are your names?" + +"I am Lily and this is Ben," Lily said. "We are happy to meet you, Ollie." + +"Me too," Ollie said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, please," Lily and Ben said. + +They played with Ollie for a while. They learned how to hang on his arms and how to make bubbles and shapes with the ink. They had fun. + +They said goodbye to Ollie and went back to the shore. They told their mom and dad about their new friend. They hoped to see him again. They smiled. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with many leaves. They liked to pick the leaves and make piles. + +One day, they had a new idea. They wanted to spread the leaves all over the grass. They thought it would look like a big carpet. They worked hard and filled their arms with leaves. Then they ran and threw them in the air. + +"Look, Lily, we made a leaf carpet!" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, it is very pretty!" Lily said. + +They ran and jumped on the leaf carpet. They laughed and had fun. They felt the leaves under their feet and in their hair. + +But then they heard a voice. It was their mom. She was not happy. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" she asked. "You made a big mess in the garden. You have to clean it up now!" + +Tom and Lily looked at their mom. They felt sorry. They did not want to make her angry. + +"Sorry, mom," they said. "We just wanted to play." + +They went to get a rake and a bag. They started to pick up the leaves. They were very quiet. They did not laugh or talk. They learned their lesson. They would not spread the leaves again. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite ones are the guns. They have big guns and small guns, red guns and blue guns, loud guns and quiet guns. + +One day, they decide to play a game. They want to see who can make the most organized pile of guns. They each take a corner of the room and start to sort their guns by size and color. They look at each other's piles and try to make theirs better. + +"Look at my pile, Tom!" Sam says. "It is very organized. I have all the big guns on the bottom and all the small guns on the top. And I have all the red guns on the left and all the blue guns on the right. How do you like it?" + +Tom looks at Sam's pile and shakes his head. "No, Sam, your pile is not organized. It is messy. You have some loud guns mixed with some quiet guns. And you have some guns that are not red or blue. They are green or yellow or black. You need to sort them by sound and shape too. Look at my pile, Sam. It is very organized. I have all the guns that make the same sound together. And I have all the guns that have the same shape together. And I have all the guns that have the same color together. How do you like it?" + +Sam looks at Tom's pile and frowns. "No, Tom, your pile is not organized. It is boring. You have all the guns that look the same together. That is not fun. You need to mix them up a bit. Look at my pile, Tom. It is very organized and fun. I have all the guns that are different together. That way, I can choose any gun I want and have a surprise. How do you like it?" + +Tom and Sam look at each other's piles and argue. They do not agree on what makes a pile organized. They start to grab each other's guns and throw them around. They make a big mess in the room. They forget about their game and start to have a gun fight. They laugh and have fun. They do not care about being organized anymore. They only care about playing with their guns. +Lily was a big sister. She had a little brother, Ben. Lily liked to teach Ben new things. She taught him how to count, how to sing, and how to draw. + +One day, Lily found a sack in the closet. It was full of candy. Lily loved candy. She wanted to eat some. But she knew it was not hers. It was for Halloween. Mom and Dad said they would give it to the kids who came to their door. + +Lily thought, maybe I can take some candy and hide it. Then I can eat it later. No one will know. She opened the sack and took some candy. She put it in her pocket. She felt guilty. She knew it was wrong. + +Ben saw Lily. He asked, "What are you doing, Lily?" + +Lily said, "Nothing, Ben. Go away." + +Ben said, "You have candy. Can I have some?" + +Lily said, "No, Ben. This is my candy. You can't have any." + +Ben said, "That's not fair, Lily. You are mean. I will tell Mom and Dad." + +Lily said, "No, Ben. Don't tell. Please. I will teach you something new. I will teach you how to ride a bike. Do you want to learn?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I want to learn. But you have to share your candy with me." + +Lily said, "OK, Ben. I will share. But you have to promise not to tell. It is our secret." + +Ben said, "OK, Lily. I promise. It is our secret." + +Lily and Ben went outside. Lily taught Ben how to ride a bike. They had fun. They also ate some candy. They felt happy. But they also felt guilty. They knew they did something bad. They hoped Mom and Dad would not find out. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys. Sara has a pink dress for her doll. Ben has a bone for his dog. They want to match their toys. + +"Look, Sara, my bone is white and your dress is pink. They do not match," Ben says. + +"But I like pink. Pink is pretty. And your bone is not a toy. It is for eating," Sara says. + +They start to argue. They do not want to share their toys. + +Then, they hear a bark. It is Spot, their real dog. He runs into the room. He sees the bone and the dress. He wants both. + +Spot jumps on the bed. He grabs the bone with his mouth. He pulls the dress with his paws. He runs away. + +"Hey, Spot, stop! That is my bone! That is Sara's dress!" Ben shouts. + +"Spot, come back! You are naughty! You are making a mess!" Sara cries. + +They chase Spot around the house. They try to get their toys back. But Spot is too fast and too happy. He thinks he has the best toys ever. He does not care if they match or not. He just wants to play. +Ben is a horse who lives on a farm. He likes to run and play with his friends, the cows and the sheep. He is a busy horse who helps the farmer with his work. He pulls the cart, he plows the field, he carries the hay. + +One day, Ben is very tired after a long day of work. He wants to sleep, but he cannot find a good place to rest. The barn is too noisy, the field is too cold, the pond is too wet. He walks around the farm, looking for a cozy spot. + +He sees a pile of hay near the fence. It looks soft and warm. He thinks it might be a good place to sleep. He walks towards the hay, but he hears a voice. + +"Who is there?" the voice says. "This is my hay. Go away!" + +Ben looks and sees a mouse sitting on the hay. The mouse is small and gray, with bright eyes and a long tail. He is not afraid of Ben. + +"Hello, mouse," Ben says. "I am Ben, the horse. I am very tired. Can I sleep on your hay?" + +"No, you cannot," the mouse says. "This is my hay. I worked hard to collect it. It is mine. You are too big and heavy. You will crush my hay and ruin it. Go find another place to sleep." + +Ben feels sad. He does not want to argue with the mouse. He does not want to hurt his hay. He is a kind horse. He says, "I am sorry, mouse. I did not know this was your hay. I will leave you alone. Good night." + +He turns around and walks away. He keeps looking for a place to sleep. He hopes he will find one soon. He is very sleepy. +Tom and Mia like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make them go fast on the floor or on the ramp. Sometimes they race each other to see who has the fastest car. + +One day, they found a new toy in the toy box. It was a goat. It was brown and soft and had horns and a beard. It also had wheels on its feet. Tom and Mia were curious. They wondered if the goat could go fast like their cars. + +They decided to try it out. They put the goat on the floor and pushed it. The goat did not move much. It just made a funny sound. "Baa, baa," it said. Tom and Mia laughed. They thought the goat was silly. + +They tried to make it go faster. They pushed it harder and harder. The goat still did not move much. It just said "baa, baa" louder and louder. Tom and Mia were frustrated. They wanted the goat to zip like their cars. + +They had an idea. They put the goat on the ramp. They hoped the ramp would make the goat go faster. They let go of the goat and watched. The goat rolled down the ramp. It went faster and faster. It zipped past their cars. It reached the end of the ramp and flew into the air. It landed on the couch with a thud. "Baa, baa," it said. + +Tom and Mia were amazed. They clapped and cheered. They thought the goat was awesome. They ran to the couch and picked up the goat. They hugged it and petted it. They decided to keep the goat as their new toy. They named it Zippy. + +They still liked to play with their cars, but they also liked to play with Zippy. They took turns to make him zip on the ramp. They were competitive, but they also shared. They had fun with their cars and their goat. They were happy. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the closet. It was dark and cozy and full of old clothes and toys. They pretended it was a secret cave or a spaceship or a castle. Sometimes they found funny things in the closet, like a hat with feathers or a shiny necklace or a big book with pictures. + +One day, they decided to dive into the closet and see what they could find. They moved the coats and the shoes and the bags and made a big pile on the floor. Then they took a deep breath and jumped into the pile. They felt soft and warm and fuzzy things all around them. They laughed and giggled and shouted. + +"Look, I found a scarf!" Lily said, wrapping it around her neck. "It's red and long and pretty!" + +"Look, I found a mask!" Tom said, putting it on his face. "It's green and scary and funny!" + +They tried on different things and made silly faces and noises. They had a lot of fun in the closet. + +But then they heard a knock on the door. It was Mom. She opened the door and saw the mess on the floor and the kids in the closet. She was not happy. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why did you make such a mess? This is not normal. You have to clean up and come out of the closet. It's time for lunch." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and sighed. They liked the closet, but they also liked lunch. They took off the scarf and the mask and threw them back into the pile. Then they crawled out of the closet and said sorry to Mom. They promised to clean up later and followed her to the kitchen. They hoped they could dive into the closet again another day. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to read books. They go to the library with Mom. Mom says they can pick one book each. + +Lila sees a book with a zebra on the cover. She likes zebras. They have black and white stripes. She takes the book and shows it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, a zebra book! Do you want to read it with me?" she asks. + +Tom shakes his head. He does not like zebras. He thinks they are boring. He sees a book with a dinosaur on the cover. He likes dinosaurs. They are big and scary. He takes the book and shows it to Lila. + +"Look, Lila, a dinosaur book! Do you want to read it with me?" he asks. + +Lila shakes her head. She does not like dinosaurs. She thinks they are scary. She says, "No, thank you, Tom. I want to read the zebra book. You can read the dinosaur book." + +They go to a table and sit down. They open their books and start to read. Lila likes the zebra book. It has pictures of zebras in the grass, zebras by the water, zebras with their babies. She smiles and turns the pages. + +Tom likes the dinosaur book. It has pictures of dinosaurs in the forest, dinosaurs by the volcano, dinosaurs fighting each other. He gasps and turns the pages. + +But then, Tom sees something that makes him sad. He sees a picture of a dinosaur that is dead. It has blood on its body and flies on its eyes. He feels sorry for the dinosaur. He closes the book and looks at Lila. + +"Lila, look, this dinosaur is dead. It is not alive. It is sad," he says. + +Lila looks at Tom. She sees his sad face. She feels sorry for Tom. She closes her book and says, "Tom, I am sorry. That is sad. Do you want to read my book? It has zebras. They are alive. They are happy." + +Tom nods. He says, "Yes, please, Lila. I want to read your book. Thank you for sharing." + +They swap their books and start to read again. They see the zebras in the grass, zebras by the water, zebras with their babies. They smile and turn the pages. + +They are happy. They are friends. They like to read books. +Lily and Ben were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to go outside and have fun, but it was raining hard. They looked out the window and saw the wet lawn and the gray sky. + +"Can we go out, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, it's too wet and cold. You might get sick," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben sighed. They wished the rain would stop. + +Then they heard a loud noise. They ran to the window again and saw a big truck. The truck had a long hose and a big tank. It was spraying something on the lawn. It was not water. It was paint! + +The paint was bright and colorful. It was red, blue, yellow, green, purple, and orange. It made the lawn look like a rainbow. + +"Wow!" Lily and Ben exclaimed. "Look at that, Mom!" + +Mom came to the window and saw the truck and the lawn. She was surprised and angry. + +"What are they doing? They are ruining our lawn!" she said. + +She grabbed her phone and called the truck driver. + +"Hello, this is Mom. Why are you painting our lawn?" she asked. + +"Hello, this is Bob. I'm sorry, Mom. I made a mistake. I was supposed to paint the lawn of the house next door. They wanted a brilliant lawn for their party. But I got the wrong address. I'm very sorry," Bob said. + +Mom was not happy. She told Bob to come back and clean the lawn. Bob said he would, but it would take some time. + +Lily and Ben did not mind. They thought the lawn was beautiful. They wanted to go out and play on it. They put on their raincoats and boots and asked Mom if they could. + +Mom sighed. She knew they would make a mess. But she also knew they were bored and curious. She decided to let them go, but only for a little while. + +"Okay, you can go out, but be careful. And don't touch the paint. It might stain your clothes and skin," she said. + +Lily and Ben thanked Mom and ran outside. They jumped and danced on the lawn. They made shapes and patterns with their feet. They laughed and shouted. They had fun. + +They did not notice that the rain had stopped and the sun had come out. They did not notice that the paint had started to dry and crack. They did not notice that Bob had returned with a big machine to wash the lawn. + +They only noticed when Mom called them back inside. + +"Time to come in, kids. Bob is here to fix the lawn. You need to take a bath and change your clothes. You are all covered in paint," she said. + +Lily and Ben looked at themselves and saw that Mom was right. They were red, blue, yellow, green, purple, and orange. They looked like a rainbow. + +They smiled and said goodbye to Bob and the lawn. They followed Mom inside. They had a bath and changed their clothes. They were clean and normal again. + +But they still remembered the brilliant lawn. They thought it was the best thing they had ever seen. They hoped Bob would make another mistake someday. +Lily loved to play with bubbles. She had a big bottle of bubble soap and a wand that made many bubbles at once. She liked to fill the air with bubbles and watch them float and pop. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and her brother Max. She brought her bubble soap and wand with her. She saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to make friends with them, so she ran over to them with her bubble soap and wand. + +"Hi, I'm Lily!" she said. "Do you want to play with bubbles?" + +The other kids looked at her and laughed. They said bubbles were for babies, not for big kids like them. They said Lily was silly and childish. They made fun of her bubble soap and wand. + +Lily felt very embarrassed. She felt tears in her eyes. She ran back to her mom and Max, who were sitting on a bench. She hugged her mom and cried. + +"Mom, they don't like me! They don't like bubbles! They said I'm silly and childish!" she sobbed. + +Her mom hugged her back and kissed her head. She said, "Lily, don't listen to them. They are not very nice. You are not silly or childish. You are smart and creative. Bubbles are fun and beautiful. I love bubbles, and I love you." + +Max came over and gave Lily his toy car. He said, "Lily, I like bubbles too. They are cool and shiny. Do you want to play with me? We can make bubbles and race cars." + +Lily smiled and wiped her tears. She said, "Yes, Max, I want to play with you. Thank you for being my brother. You are kind and sweet." + +Lily and Max played with bubbles and cars. They filled the air with bubbles and laughter. They had a lot of fun. They didn't care what the other kids said. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. But they do not like the big dog that lives near the park. The big dog is loud and scary. Sometimes he barks and chases them. + +One day, the big dog gets out of his yard. He sees Lily and Ben and runs towards them. Lily and Ben are afraid. They scream and run to the stand where their mom is. The stand sells ice cream and candy. + +"Mom, mom, help us! The big dog is coming!" they scream. + +But their mom does not hear them. She is deaf. She can not hear anything. She only sees their mouths move. She smiles and thinks they want ice cream. + +The big dog is closer and closer. Lily and Ben scream louder and louder. They wave their arms and point at the dog. + +Their mom finally sees the dog. She is surprised and scared. She grabs Lily and Ben and hugs them. She shouts at the dog to go away. + +The dog stops and looks at them. He is not mean. He is just lonely and playful. He wags his tail and barks softly. He wants to be their friend. + +Lily and Ben stop screaming. They look at the dog. He does not look so scary now. He looks sad and cute. + +They look at their mom. She nods and smiles. She lets them go and gives them some ice cream. + +Lily and Ben walk slowly to the dog. They hold out their ice cream. The dog licks it and wags his tail. He likes ice cream. + +Lily and Ben pet the dog and laugh. They make a new friend. They are not afraid anymore. They are happy. +Lily loved her pony, Max. He was brown and soft and had a long tail. He could run fast and jump high. He was a mighty pony. Lily liked to brush his hair and feed him carrots and apples. + +One day, Lily and Max went to the park with Mom. There were many other ponies and kids there. Lily saw a big white pony with a pink bow in her hair. She wanted to pet her, but the girl who owned her said no. + +"That's my pony, Princess. She is the best pony in the world. You can't touch her. Your pony is small and dirty. He is a bad pony," the girl said. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like the girl or her pony. She hugged Max and said, "Don't listen to her, Max. You are a good pony. You are my pony. I love you." + +Max nuzzled Lily and made a happy sound. He knew Lily loved him. He did not care about the other pony or the girl. He was happy with Lily. + +Mom saw what happened and came over. She gave Lily a kiss and said, "Don't mind her, Lily. She is not nice. She does not know how to share or be kind. You and Max are a great team. You have fun and supply each other with love and joy. That's what matters." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are right. Max and I are a great team. We have fun and supply each other with love and joy. We don't need anyone else." + +Mom nodded and said, "That's my girl. Now, let's go and play with the other ponies and kids who are nice and friendly. Maybe we can make some new friends." + +Lily agreed and said, "Yes, let's go. Come on, Max. Let's show them how mighty you are." + +Lily and Max trotted away, leaving the girl and her pony behind. They had a wonderful time at the park, playing with the other ponies and kids who were nice and friendly. They made some new friends and had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Ben and Lily are playing in the hall. They have a ball and they throw it to each other. They are having fun. + +But then, a big, ugly dog comes out of a room. It is not their dog. It is a mean dog. It barks and runs at them. It wants to catch the ball and bite them. + +Ben and Lily are scared. They scream and run away. They look for a place to hide. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. + +"Where are you?" their mom asks. She hears them and comes out of another room. She sees the dog and the ball. + +"Bad dog! Go away!" she says. She picks up the ball and throws it out of the window. The dog runs after it. + +Ben and Lily run to their mom. She hugs them and makes them feel safe. + +"Are you OK?" she asks. + +"Yes, mom. Thank you," they say. + +"Who is that dog?" she asks. + +"We don't know, mom. It is not our dog. It is a big, ugly dog," they say. + +"Maybe it is lost. We should call the animal shelter," she says. + +"OK, mom. But can we play in the hall again?" they ask. + +"Sure, but be careful. And don't throw the ball too hard," she says. + +Ben and Lily smile and nod. They go back to the hall and play with the ball. They are happy. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They were hungry, so they asked their mom for a snack. Mom gave them each a cookie and a glass of milk. Sara and Ben said thank you and went back to their toys. + +Sara put her cookie on the table and picked up her doll. She pretended to feed her doll and make her talk. Ben put his cookie on the floor and picked up his car. He zoomed his car around the room and made loud noises. + +Suddenly, Ben's car hit Sara's glass of milk. The milk spilled all over the table and the floor. Sara's cookie got wet and soggy. Sara started to cry. + +"Mom! Mom! Ben made my cookie wet!" Sara shouted. + +Mom came to the living room and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Mom asked. + +"Sorry, Mom. It was an accident. I was playing with my car and it hit Sara's milk." Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She got a towel and cleaned up the milk. She threw away Sara's wet cookie. + +"Sara, I'm sorry your cookie got wet. Do you want another one?" Mom asked. + +Sara nodded. She was still sad. + +"Ben, you need to be more careful. You should replace Sara's cookie. It was not nice to make her cookie wet." Mom said. + +Ben felt bad. He wanted to make Sara happy. + +"OK, Mom. I will replace Sara's cookie. Here, Sara. You can have my cookie. I'm sorry I made your cookie wet." Ben said. + +He gave his cookie to Sara. Sara smiled. She took his cookie and gave him a hug. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I'm sorry I yelled at you." Sara said. + +Mom smiled too. She was proud of Ben and Sara. + +"That's very kind of you, Ben. And that's very sweet of you, Sara. I'm glad you two are sharing and forgiving. Now, why don't you finish your snack and then we can read a story together?" Mom said. + +Sara and Ben agreed. They ate their cookies and drank their milk. They put their toys away and cuddled with Mom on the couch. Mom read them a story about a cat and a mouse who became friends. Sara and Ben listened and laughed. They were happy. +Tim and Sam were playing with their toy cars in the garden. Tim had a red car and Sam had a blue car. They raced their cars on the grass and made loud noises. + +But then Sam saw Tim's red car and wanted it. He said, "Give me your red car, Tim. It is faster and prettier than mine. I want it now!" + +Tim did not want to give his red car to Sam. He said, "No, Sam. This is my red car. You have your own blue car. Go away!" + +Sam was angry and jealous. He tried to grab Tim's red car, but Tim held it tight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not share or play nice. + +Then Tim felt a pain in his arm. Sam had bitten him hard. Tim cried and dropped his red car. Sam took it and ran away. He said, "Ha ha, I have your red car now. You lose, Tim. You surrender!" + +Tim was sad and hurt. He ran to his mom and showed her his arm. His mom hugged him and said, "Oh, Tim, I'm sorry. Sam was very mean and rude. He should not bite you or take your red car. That is not how friends behave. You did not surrender, Tim. You were brave and strong. I'm proud of you." + +She gave him a band-aid and a kiss. She said, "Why don't you play with your yellow truck instead? It is bigger and louder than your red car. You can have fun with it." + +Tim smiled and said, "Okay, mom. I like my yellow truck. It is fun. Thank you, mom. I love you." + +He took his yellow truck and went back to the garden. He forgot about his pain and his red car. He played with his yellow truck and made happy noises. He was not jealous or angry anymore. He was happy. +Anna liked to dance in the rain. She put on her red boots and yellow coat and ran outside. She felt the raindrops on her face and hair. She smiled and spun around. She was graceful like a bird. + +She saw her friend Ben across the street. He was sitting on his porch, looking sad. He did not have boots or a coat. He could not dance in the rain. + +"Hi, Ben!" Anna called. "Do you want to dance with me?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, thank you. I don't like the rain. It makes me wet and cold." + +Anna felt sorry for Ben. She wanted him to have fun. She had an idea. She ran back to her house and entered her room. She looked for something to give Ben. She found her old umbrella. It was blue with white stars. She took it and ran back to Ben. + +"Here, Ben. You can have this umbrella. It will keep you dry. Then you can dance with me." + +Ben looked at the umbrella. He liked the stars. He smiled and took it. He stood up and opened it. He followed Anna to the street. They held the umbrella together. They danced in the rain. They were graceful like birds. They laughed and had fun. They liked the rain. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with their pets. Sara has a cat and Tom has a dog. The cat and the dog are very different. The cat has soft fur and the dog has rough fur. The cat is small and the dog is big. + +One day, Sara and Tom want to know how much their pets weigh. They find a scale in the bathroom. They take turns to put their pets on the scale. Sara goes first. She picks up her cat and puts it on the scale. The scale shows a number. Sara says, "My cat weighs five pounds. That is not much. She is light and easy to carry." + +Then Tom goes. He tries to pick up his dog and put it on the scale. But the dog is too heavy and too wiggly. Tom says, "My dog weighs twenty pounds. That is a lot. He is heavy and hard to carry." + +The cat and the dog look at each other. They do not care how much they weigh. They only care about having fun. They jump off the scale and run to the garden. They chase each other and play with a ball. Sara and Tom follow them. They laugh and join the game. They are happy and ready to have a good time. +Anna likes to do yoga with her mom. Yoga is when you move your body in different ways and breathe slowly. Mom says yoga makes her feel calm and happy. Anna likes to copy mom and try the yoga poses. + +One day, mom and Anna are doing yoga in the living room. They have a big mat on the floor and some pillows and blankets. Mom tells Anna to cover herself with a blanket and lie down. This is called savasana. It means you relax and rest. + +But Anna does not want to rest. She wants to play. She jumps up and runs around the room. She throws the pillows and blankets in the air. She makes a big mess. Mom opens her eyes and sees Anna. She is not happy. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" mom asks. "This is not yoga. This is messy. You need to calm down and listen to me." + +"But mom, I'm bored. I want to have fun. Yoga is not fun. It's boring." Anna says. + +Mom sighs. She knows Anna is too young to understand yoga. She gets up and hugs Anna. She says, "I love you, Anna. But yoga is not boring. It's good for you. It helps you feel good in your body and your mind. Maybe you can try it again with me another day. But for now, can you please help me clean up this mess?" + +Anna nods. She loves mom too. She says, "OK, mom. I'm sorry. I'll help you. Maybe yoga is fun sometimes. Can we do the one where we pretend to be animals?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Sure, Anna. We can do that. That's called animal poses. They are fun and easy. Come on, let's pick up the pillows and blankets and then we can do some animal poses together." + +Anna and mom work together to tidy up the living room. Then they do some animal poses. They pretend to be cats, dogs, lions, snakes, and butterflies. They laugh and have fun. They end with savasana again. This time, Anna covers herself with a blanket and lies down. She closes her eyes and breathes slowly. She feels calm and happy. She thinks maybe yoga is not so bad after all. +Sam and Lily like to play dress up. They have many clothes to try on. They have hats, shoes, dresses, shirts, pants, and more. They like to make funny outfits and show them to each other. + +One day, Sam finds a long strip of cloth. He wraps it around his head like a bandage. He pretends he is hurt and needs a doctor. He says, "Ow, ow, ow! My head is hurt. Lily, can you help me?" + +Lily sees Sam and laughs. She thinks he looks silly. She says, "You are not hurt, Sam. You are just playing. That is not a bandage. That is a strip of cloth. You are funny, Sam." + +Sam smiles. He likes to make Lily laugh. He says, "I know, Lily. I am just playing. Do you like my outfit?" + +Lily nods. She says, "Yes, Sam. I like your outfit. You are very creative. Can I try it too?" + +Sam says, "Sure, Lily. You can try it too. Here, take the strip of cloth. You can wrap it around your head or your arm or your leg. You can be hurt too." + +Lily takes the strip of cloth. She wraps it around her arm. She pretends she is hurt and needs a doctor. She says, "Ow, ow, ow! My arm is hurt. Sam, can you help me?" + +Sam sees Lily and laughs. He thinks she looks silly. He says, "You are not hurt, Lily. You are just playing. That is not a bandage. That is a strip of cloth. You are funny, Lily." + +Lily smiles. She likes to make Sam laugh. She says, "I know, Sam. I am just playing.

They say, "Yay, Sam! Yay, Lily! We are good at dress up. We have fun. We are happy." +Tom and Mia like to play pretend. They have a big box of toys and costumes. Today, they pretend to be cowboys and robbers. Tom puts on a hat and a belt with a gun. Mia wears a mask and a bag. They run around the house, making noises. + +"Bang, bang, you're dead!" Tom shouts, pointing his gun at Mia. + +"No, I'm not, you missed!" Mia says, dodging behind the sofa. + +"Yes, I did, I saw you fall!" Tom argues, chasing her. + +They laugh and have fun. But then, Tom trips over a vase. The vase is delicate and breaks into pieces. Tom and Mia stop and look at the mess. They feel scared and sorry. + +"Uh-oh, Mom will be mad," Tom says. + +"What do we do?" Mia asks. + +They think for a moment. Then, they have an idea. They pretend to be cleaners. They get a broom and a dustpan. They sweep up the pieces and put them in the trash. They hope Mom won't notice. + +"Phew, that was close," Tom says. + +"Yeah, let's be more careful next time," Mia says. + +They hug and smile. They like to play pretend. But they also like to be good. +Sara loves to play with her dog Max. Max is big and brown and likes to run and jump. Sara has a leash for Max, so he does not get lost when they go outside. Sara puts the leash on Max and says, "Let's go, Max! We can play in the park!" + +Sara and Max walk to the park. They see many things on the way. They see cars and trees and birds and flowers. Sara points to them and says their names. Max barks and wags his tail. He is happy to be with Sara. + +When they get to the park, Sara sees a big slide. She wants to try it. She says to Max, "Wait here, Max. I will be back soon. Do not move." She ties the leash to a bench and runs to the slide. She climbs up the ladder and slides down. She feels dizzy when she slides. She laughs and says, "Whee! That was fun!" + +She slides again and again. She does not see that Max is bored. He wants to play too. He sees a squirrel and wants to chase it. He pulls on the leash and breaks it. He runs after the squirrel. He does not hear Sara calling him. + +Sara sees that Max is gone. She feels scared and sad. She says, "Max, where are you? Come back, Max!" She looks for him in the park. She does not see him. She cries and says, "I lost Max! I miss Max!" + +Then she hears a bark. She turns and sees Max. He is running back to her.

You are a good dog!" + +Sara and Max complete their walk. They go back home. Sara tells her mom what happened. Her mom says, "I am sorry you were scared, Sara.

Some of them smile, some of them frown. + +"Who are you? This is not for you. This is for us. We are professionals. You are just a little girl. Go away!" one of the dancers says. He is angry and pushes Anna off the stage. + +Anna falls down and hurts her knee. She starts to cry. Her mom runs to her and hugs her. She wipes her tears and kisses her knee. + +"I'm sorry, Anna.

Please, can I have it for a little while?" + +Lily was selfish and said, "No, you can't. It's mine and only mine. You have your truck. Go back to your bed and shut up!" + +Tom started to cry and ran back to his bed. He hugged his truck and wished he had a teddy bear too. He felt lonely and scared. + +Lily felt bad and saw Tom crying. She remembered that he was her brother and that she loved him. She felt sorry and said, "Tom, I'm sorry. I was mean to you.

They wash their hands and sit at the table. They eat their sandwiches and drink their juice. They tell their mom about the puzzle. + +"That sounds like a great puzzle!" Mom says. "But did you tidy up your toys?" + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They remember the puzzle on the floor. They forgot to tidy up. + +"Oops, we forgot!" Sara says. + +"Sorry, Mom!"

They could build houses, towers, bridges, and anything they wanted. + +One day, they decided to build a big castle together. They took turns to add blocks and make the walls, the doors, the windows, and the towers. They were having fun and working well. + +But then, Lily wanted to put a red block on top of a tower, and Ben wanted to put a blue block. They both reached for the same spot and pulled the blocks. They started to quarrel. + +"No, red!" Lily said. + +"No, blue!" Ben said. + +They pulled harder and harder, until the tower fell down. Then, all the other blocks fell down too. The castle was gone. They both looked at the mess and felt sad and angry. + +They blamed each other for ruining the castle. They said mean words and turned away. They did not want to play together anymore. They went to different corners of the room and played alone. They felt distant from each other. + +The teacher saw what happened and came to talk to them. She asked them why they were quarreling and what was the result. She told them that they were both good builders and good friends, and that they could share and compromise. She asked them if they wanted to try again and build a new castle. + +Lily and Ben thought about it. They remembered how much they liked playing with blocks and with each other. They felt sorry for being mean and stubborn. They nodded and said yes. + +They went back to the middle of the room and picked up the blocks. They smiled and said sorry. They agreed to use both red and blue blocks for the towers. They worked together and built a new castle. It was bigger and better than the first one.

They saw a plate of cookies and milk on the table. They smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom!" + +Mom smiled back and said, "You're welcome, my loves. Enjoy your treat, but don't forget to brush your teeth afterwards." + +Lily and Ben nodded and started to eat their cookies. They were very yummy and made them happy. They drank their milk and felt sleepy. + +"Can we go back to our room, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, dear. But remember to share Teddy with your brother, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom," Lily said. + +Lily and Ben went back to their room, holding hands. They saw Teddy on the bed, but they also saw something else. A big gray cat was lying next to Teddy, purring and licking his fur. + +"Hey, that's our Teddy!" Ben said. + +"Shoo, cat, shoo!" Lily said. + +They tried to scare the cat away, but the cat did not move. He looked at them with his green eyes and meowed. + +"Please, let me stay," the cat said. "I have no home and no friends. Teddy is very nice and warm. He let me replace him as your toy for a while." + +Lily and Ben were surprised. They did not know the cat could talk. They felt sorry for the cat, but they also loved Teddy. + +"Can't you find another toy?" Lily asked. + +"No, I can't. Teddy is the only one who likes me," the cat said. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to hurt the cat, but they also wanted to hug Teddy. They thought for a moment, and then they had an idea. + +"Why don't you join us?" Ben asked. + +"Join you?" the cat asked. + +"Yes, join us. You can be our friend, too. And you can share Teddy with us. We have enough room for all of us," Lily said. + +The cat smiled and said, "Really? You would do that for me?" + +"Really. We would do that for you," Lily and Ben said. + +They climbed on the bed and cuddled with Teddy and the cat. They felt warm and cozy and happy. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. + +Mom came to check on them and saw them sleeping together. She smiled and said, "What a sweet sight. They have a new friend. And a new treat." +Lily and Max love to play with dinosaurs. They have many dinosaurs of different colors and sizes.

Maybe they are sweet and yummy!" Anna said. + +"Let's pick some and eat them!" Ben said. + +They climbed the tree and picked some fruits. They bit into them and made a face. + +"Yuck! These fruits are sour! They make my mouth hurt!" Anna said. + +"Me too! These fruits are not yummy at all!" Ben said. + +They threw the fruits away and climbed down the tree. They saw a man with a cart. He had yellow fruits and green fruits. He smiled at them. + +"Hello, kids. Do you want to buy some fruits? They are sweet and juicy. Only one coin for each fruit. That's a good price!" he said. + +Anna and Ben looked at the fruits. They looked good. They had some coins in their pockets. They decided to buy some fruits. + +"Can we have one yellow fruit and one green fruit, please?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, here you go. Enjoy!" the man said. + +He gave them the fruits and took their coins. They thanked him and walked away. + +They bit into the fruits and smiled. + +"Mmm, these fruits are delicious! They are not sour at all!" Anna said. + +"I agree! These fruits are the best! They are worth the price!" Ben said. + +They ate the fruits and felt happy.

They had a fun day. +Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play together at the park. One day, they saw a big slide. Tom wanted to go first. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide.

One day, they found a big bowl in the kitchen. It was old and had many colors. Tom and Lily wanted to play with the bowl. + +"Can I have the bowl?" Tom asked. + +"No, I saw it first. It is mine!" Lily said. + +They both pulled the bowl. The bowl was heavy and hard. They could not share it. They started to cry. + +Mom heard them and came to the kitchen. She saw the bowl and the tears. + +"What is wrong, Tom and Lily?" Mom asked. + +"We both want the bowl. It is old and pretty. But we cannot share it." Tom said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She had an idea. + +"Why don't you use the bowl for something else? You can fill it with water and make bubbles. Or you can put some fruits and snacks in it and have a picnic. Or you can use it as a hat and pretend to be a king and a queen. There are many ways to play with the bowl. And you can share it and have fun together." Mom said. + +Tom and Lily liked Mom's idea.

"We can play with it." + +"Good idea," Lily says. "We can make a nest." + +They pick up the branch and carry it to a bench. They put it on the bench and pretend it is a nest. They sit on the bench and pretend they are birds. They sing and flap their arms. They are happy. +Lena liked to order things. She had many toys and books and clothes. She put them in boxes and bags and drawers. She made labels for them. She wrote her name and what was inside. She used a crayon and a paper. + +One day, her friend Tom came to play. He saw her labels and said, "Wow, you are very good at ordering things. Can I see what you have?" + +Lena said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful. Do not make a mess. Do not break anything. Do not lose anything." + +Tom said, "OK, I will be careful. I promise." + +They played together for a while. They looked at her toys and books and clothes. They had fun. But Tom was not very careful. He took out many things and did not put them back. He tore some labels and lost some crayons. He broke a toy car and a book. + +Lena was very sad and angry. She said, "Tom, you are not a good friend.

I will help you fix everything. I will make new labels. I will find your crayons. I will buy you a new toy car and a new book. Please be my friend." + +Lena thought for a moment. She was still sad and angry. But she was also a modest girl. She knew that nobody was perfect. She knew that sometimes she made mistakes too. She knew that friends should help each other and say sorry. + +She said, "OK, Tom. I will forgive you. But you have to help me order everything again. And you have to be more careful next time. And you have to say sorry to me." + +Tom said, "Thank you, Lena. I am sorry. I will help you. I will be more careful. You are a good friend." + +They hugged and smiled. They ordered everything again. They made new labels. They found the crayons. They went to the store and bought a new toy car and a new book. They played some more. They had fun. They were happy. +Sara and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Tom had a car. Sara liked to make her doll talk and dress her up.

Sara said, as she moved her doll away. "You're being mean! This is my doll and she doesn't like cars!" + +Tom didn't listen. He drove his car closer and closer to Sara's doll, until he bumped into her. Sara's doll fell to the floor and her dress came off. + +"Hey, you made my doll naked!" Sara cried, as she picked up her doll and tried to put her dress back on. "That's not nice!" + +Tom laughed. He thought it was funny. He reached out his hand and pinched Sara's arm. + +"Ow!" Sara yelled, as she felt the pain. "That hurts! Why did you pinch me?" + +Tom laughed again. He thought it was fun. He pinched Sara's arm again. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara screamed, as she dropped her doll and ran away. "Mommy, mommy, Tom is pinching me!" + +Mommy heard Sara's scream and came to the living room. She saw Tom with his car and Sara with her doll. She saw the pinch marks on Sara's arm and the tears in her eyes. + +"What's going on here?" Mommy asked, as she hugged Sara and looked at Tom. "Why are you pinching your sister?" + +Tom shrugged. He didn't know why. He just liked to pinch. + +"That's not nice, Tom," Mommy said, as she took his car away. "Pinching hurts. You need to say sorry to Sara and give her a hug." + +Tom didn't want to say sorry or give a hug. He wanted his car back. He tried to grab his car from Mommy, but he was too clumsy. He tripped over his own feet and fell to the floor. + +"Ouch!" Tom cried, as he hit his head and scraped his knee. "That hurts!" + +Mommy put the car on the table and helped Tom up. She saw the bump on his head and the blood on his knee. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Mommy asked, as she kissed his head and wiped his knee. "You need to be more careful. You need to go to the bathroom and wash your knee." + +Tom nodded. He felt sorry for himself. He didn't like to hurt. He followed Mommy to the bathroom and washed his knee. + +Sara followed them too. She felt sorry for Tom. She didn't like to see him hurt. She brought her doll and her dress. + +"Here, Tom," Sara said, as she gave him her doll and her dress.

He said sorry to Sara and gave her a hug. + +"Thank you, Sara," Tom said, as he hugged her back. "You're a nice sister. I won't pinch you again." + +Sara smiled too. She took his car and gave it to him. + +"You're welcome, Tom," Sara said, as she gave him his car. "You're a nice brother. I won't make my doll naked again." + +Mommy smiled too. She was happy to see them hug and share. She hugged them both and said, + +"I love you, Sara. I love you, Tom. You're both nice kids. Now let's go back to the living room and play nicely." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they also liked to look for bugs. They had a jar with holes and some grass inside. They wanted to catch some ants, beetles and spiders. + +They saw a big ant hill near a tree. They ran to it and knelt down. They saw many ants going in and out of the hole. They tried to pick some up with their fingers, but the ants were too fast and tickled them. + +"Let me try!" said Tom. He took a stick and poked the hole. He wanted to make the ants come out. He was impatient. He did not like to wait. + +But the ants did not like that. They got angry. They came out of the hole and climbed on the stick. Some of them bit Tom's hand. It hurt. Tom dropped the stick and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he shouted. "The ants are mean! They strike me!" + +Lily saw what happened. She felt sorry for Tom. She took his hand and blew on it. She tried to make him feel better. + +"Shh, shh, shh," she said. "It's okay, Tom. The ants are not mean. They are scared. You strike their home. They want to protect their life. You have to be gentle with bugs. They are small and fragile." + +Tom stopped crying. He looked at his hand. He saw some red spots where the ants bit him. He looked at Lily. He saw her kind eyes and smile. He felt a little better. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I did not know. I was too impatient. I will be gentle with bugs. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily nodded. She hugged Tom. She was a good friend. + +"Of course we can," she said. "Come on, let's go find some other bugs. But be careful. And don't strike them." +Lily and Ben like to play outside after the rain. They put on their boots and coats and run to the park. There they see many puddles of water on the grass and the path. They jump and splash and laugh. + +"Look, Lily, a big puddle!" Ben says, pointing to a dark and deep one. "Let's jump in it together!" + +"OK, Ben, but be careful!" Lily says. She holds his hand and they run to the puddle. They jump as high as they can and land in the water with a big splash. + +The water scatters everywhere, wetting their coats and faces. They giggle and shake their heads. Then they see something shiny in the puddle. They bend down and pick it up. It is a coin. + +"Wow, a coin!" Ben says. "Maybe it is lucky!" + +"Maybe it is!" Lily says. "Let's share it. You can have it today and I can have it tomorrow." + +"OK, Lily, that is fair." Ben says. He puts the coin in his pocket. "You are a good friend. You are dependable." + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend too. You are fun." Lily says. They hug and smile. Then they run to find more puddles to jump in. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build tall towers and houses with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks, but Lily's favorite was the original red block. It was the first block she ever got and it was very shiny and smooth. + +"Can I have the red block, please?" Lily asked Tom. "I want to make a roof for my house." + +Tom shook his head. "No, I need it for my tower. It is the best block and I found it first." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to share the blocks with Tom, but he was being mean. She tried to grab the red block from Tom, but he held it tight. They both pulled and pushed, and then the block slipped from their hands. It flew across the room and hit the window. The window made a loud noise and broke. The red block and the glass pieces fell to the floor. + +Lily and Tom stopped fighting and looked at the window. They were scared and sorry. They knew they had done something bad. They heard their mom coming from the kitchen. She saw the broken window and the mess on the floor. She was very upset and angry. + +"What happened here?" she asked in a loud voice. "Who broke the window?" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They did not want to get in trouble, but they also did not want to lie. They decided to tell the truth. + +"We did, mom," they said together. "We were playing with the blocks and we wanted the red block. We fought over it and it hit the window. We are sorry, mom." + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She was glad they told the truth, but she was still mad. She told them to leave the blocks and the glass alone and go to their rooms. She said they had to stay there until she fixed the window and cleaned the floor. She also said they had to share the blocks and be nice to each other from now on. + +Lily and Tom nodded and said sorry again. They walked to their rooms, feeling sad and ashamed. They wished they had not fought over the red block. They wished they had played together and had fun. They learned a lesson that day: fighting is bad and sharing is good. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower, but the blocks keep falling down. Sara is sad and Ben is mad. + +"Why can't we make a big tower?" Sara asks. + +"We need more blocks," Ben says. "And we need to put them right." + +They look around the room. They see a big box of blocks on a high shelf. But they are too small to reach it. + +"How can we get the box?" Sara wonders. + +"Maybe we can use a chair," Ben says. He drags a chair to the shelf and climbs on it. But the chair is wobbly and Ben is scared. + +"Be careful, Ben!" Sara says. "You can fall and hurt your head!" + +Ben tries to grab the box, but it is too heavy. He loses his balance and falls off the chair. The box falls too and makes a loud noise. + +"Ow!" Ben cries. "My head!" + +Sara runs to Ben and hugs him. She sees a bump on his head. She gets a cold cloth and puts it on his head. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Sara asks. + +"It hurts," Ben says. "But I'll be fine." + +Sara and Ben look at the box of blocks. It is open and the blocks are everywhere. + +"Look, Ben," Sara says. "We have more blocks now. We can make a big tower." + +Ben smiles. He feels better. He and Sara pick up the blocks and start to build. + +"We solved our problem," Ben says. + +"Yes, we did," Sara says. "And we are safe now." +Lily and Max were hungry. They wanted to eat a sandwich. Mom made them a sandwich with cheese and ham. It was brown and yummy. + +"Let's play a game with our sandwich," Max said. "We can hide it and find it." + +"Okay," Lily said. "But don't hide it too far. I want to eat it soon." + +Max took the sandwich and ran outside. He looked for a good place to hide it. He saw a big tree with many leaves. He put the sandwich under the leaves. + +"Come and find it, Lily," he shouted. + +Lily followed him outside. She looked around. She saw the tree. She saw the leaves. She thought the sandwich was there. + +She ran to the tree and lifted the leaves. But there was no sandwich. There was a squirrel. The squirrel had the sandwich in its mouth. It was eating it fast. + +"Hey, that's our sandwich," Lily said. "Give it back, squirrel." + +But the squirrel did not listen. It ran away with the sandwich. It climbed up the tree and disappeared. + +Lily and Max were sad. They lost their sandwich. They went back inside. + +"Mom, can we have another sandwich?" they asked. + +Mom smiled. She made them another sandwich. She gave it to them. + +"Don't play with your food," she said. "Eat it before someone else does." +Anna liked to draw with her colorful crayons. She had many crayons of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, green, and purple. She liked to make pictures of her family, her friends, and her toys. + +One day, her teacher said they would have an exam. She said they had to show what they learned in class. Anna was nervous. She did not like exams. She did not know what to do. + +She asked her friend Ben for help. Ben was good at exams. He said, "Don't worry, Anna. You just have to do your best. I can help you study. But you have to value your crayons, too. They are your gift. You can use them to express yourself and have fun." + +Anna smiled. She liked Ben. He was a good friend. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are right. I value my crayons. They make me happy. And I will do my best on the exam. Can we study together?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, we can. Let's go to the library and look at some books. Then we can draw some pictures with your crayons. Maybe we can make a colorful card for our teacher. She will like that." + +Anna agreed. She took her crayons and followed Ben to the library. She felt more confident. She knew she could do well on the exam. And she knew she had a friend who valued her and her crayons. +Tom and Lily were playing with their dolls in the living room. They liked to pretend that the dolls were their parents and make them talk and do things. Tom had a big doll with a mustache and a hat. He called him Dad. Lily had a small doll with a dress and a bow. She called her Mom. + +"Mom, can we go to the park?" Tom asked, making his doll talk. + +"Sorry, Dad is very tired. He worked hard today. He needs to relax on the couch," Lily answered, making her doll talk. + +"But I want to play on the swings and the slide!" Tom said, making his doll pout. + +"Maybe later, honey. Why don't you play with your sister for a while? She has a lot of toys," Lily said, making her doll smile. + +Tom did not like that idea. He wanted to go outside and have fun. He threw his doll on the floor and crossed his arms. He made a loud noise with his mouth. + +"Tom, don't be rude. Pick up your doll and say sorry," Lily said, making her doll look angry. + +"No! I don't want to!" Tom said, making his doll yell. + +Just then, their real dad came into the living room. He saw the dolls and the kids. He had a mustache and a hat, just like Tom's doll. He smiled and said, "Hello, my little ones. What are you doing?" + +"We are playing with our dolls, Daddy. But Tom is being bad. He wants to go to the park, but I told him you need to relax. He threw his doll and made a noise," Lily said, pointing at Tom. + +Dad looked at Tom and said, "Is that true, Tom? Did you throw your doll and make a noise?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Daddy. I'm sorry. I just wanted to go to the park with you." + +Dad hugged Tom and said, "I understand, Tom. I know you love the park. But you also need to be kind and respectful to your sister and your toys. They are your friends. How would you feel if someone threw you and made a noise?" + +Tom thought for a moment and said, "I would feel sad and hurt, Daddy." + +Dad said, "That's right, Tom. And how do you think your doll feels?" + +Tom looked at his doll and said, "He feels sad and hurt, too, Daddy." + +Dad said, "Then what should you do?" + +Tom said, "I should pick him up and say sorry. And give him a hug." + +Dad said, "That's a good idea, Tom. Go ahead and do that." + +Tom did what Dad said. He picked up his doll and said, "I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't mean to throw you and make a noise. I love you. Please forgive me." He gave his doll a hug and a kiss. + +Lily smiled and said, "That's very nice, Tom. I'm proud of you. And I'm sorry, too. I know you want to go to the park. Maybe we can go later, if Dad feels better." + +Dad said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very sweet and thoughtful. And you know what? I think I do feel better. Playing with you and Tom always makes me happy. How about we go to the park now, and then we can relax together later?" + +Tom and Lily cheered and said, "Yay! Thank you, Dad! You are the best!" + +Dad said, "You're welcome, my little ones. You are the best, too. Now, let's go have some fun!" + +They grabbed their dolls and their coats and followed Dad to the door. They were all happy and excited. They loved each other very much. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the garden. She had a friend who was a caterpillar. His name was Max. Lily and Max liked to talk and play together. They had fun. + +One day, Lily went to the garden and looked for Max. But she could not find him. She saw a big green leaf, but no Max. She was sad. She called his name, but he did not answer. She wondered where he was. + +She saw a butterfly flying in the air. It was very pretty. It had many colors on its wings. It flew near Lily and said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like my wings?" + +Lily looked at the butterfly and said, "Yes, they are very pretty. But I am looking for my friend. He is a caterpillar. His name is Max. Have you seen him?" + +The butterfly smiled and said, "I am Max. I was a caterpillar, but now I am a butterfly. I changed in the leaf. It is called a cocoon. It is where caterpillars become butterflies." + +Lily was surprised and happy. She said, "You are Max? You are my friend? You are a butterfly?" + +Max said, "Yes, I am. I am still your friend. I am just different. But I can still talk and play with you. Do you want to see how I fly?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. Can I fly with you?" + +Max said, "You cannot fly, but you can run and jump. Come, I will show you the garden from the sky. It is very beautiful." + +Lily and Max ran and jumped and flew in the garden. They had fun. They were happy. They were friends. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together in the park. They share their toys and help each other. They are reliable friends. + +One day, Lily sees a big slide in the park. She wants to try it, but she is scared. She asks Ben to go with her. Ben says, "OK, I will go with you. But you have to promise me something. You have to hold my hand and not let go. Can you promise me that?" + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, I promise. I will hold your hand and not let go. You are my friend and I trust you." They walk to the slide and climb the stairs. They hold hands tightly and sit on the slide. They slide down together, fast and fun. They laugh and scream. + +When they reach the bottom, they hug each other. Lily says, "Thank you, Ben. You are brave and kind. You helped me try something new. You kept your promise and did not let go of my hand. You are the best friend ever." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are brave and kind, too. You tried something new with me. You kept your promise and did not let go of my hand. You are the best friend ever, too." + +They hold hands and run to play some more. They are happy and proud. They are reliable friends. +Tom and Mia liked to bounce on the big bed. They jumped up and down and laughed. They made funny faces and noises. They bounced so high that they touched the ceiling. + +"Look, Mommy, we are birds!" Tom said. + +"No, we are rockets!" Mia said. + +Mommy smiled and watched them. She was busy in the kitchen. She was making a big turkey for dinner. She had many things to do. She was very organized. She had a list and a timer. + +"Tom, Mia, time to stop bouncing and help me," Mommy said. + +Tom and Mia stopped bouncing and got off the bed. They ran to the kitchen. They wanted to help Mommy. + +"What can we do, Mommy?" Tom asked. + +"You can wash your hands and set the table," Mommy said. + +"OK, Mommy," Mia said. + +Tom and Mia washed their hands and dried them. They took the plates and cups and forks and spoons. They put them on the table. They made sure everything was neat and tidy. They were very organized too. + +"Good job, Tom and Mia," Mommy said. + +"Thank you, Mommy," Tom and Mia said. + +They hugged Mommy and smelled the turkey. It smelled yummy. They were hungry and excited. They could not wait to eat the turkey and bounce some more. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and make castles. They had a bucket and a shovel each. They were having fun. + +But then, a big dog came. The dog was filthy. It had mud and dirt all over its fur. The dog saw the bucket and the shovel. It wanted to play with them. It ran to Tim and Lily and grabbed the bucket in its mouth. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Tim shouted. He tried to get the bucket back, but the dog was too strong. It ran away with the bucket. + +Lily was sad. She gave her shovel to Tim. "Here, you can use mine," she said. + +Tim smiled. He thanked Lily. They decided to share the shovel and make one big castle together. + +They worked hard. They piled up the sand and shaped it. They made towers and walls and a door. They were proud of their castle. + +But then, something shiny appeared in the sand. It was a coin. A gold coin. It was very pretty. + +"Wow, look!" Lily said. She picked up the coin. "It's a prize!" + +Tim was amazed. He looked at the coin. "It's a prize for us!" he said. + +They hugged each other. They were happy. They had found a prize. + +They forgot about the dog and the bucket. They only cared about the coin and the castle. They had made a great thing together. They were friends. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But they did not like the big boy who was mean to them. He always took their toys and said bad words. + +One day, the big boy came to the park with a knife. He showed it to Tom and Anna and said, "This is my knife. It is sharp and shiny. I can cut anything with it. You better give me your toys or I will cut you." + +Tom and Anna were scared. They did not have a knife. They only had a ball and a doll. They did not want to give them to the big boy. They wanted to play with them. + +The big boy came closer and reached for the ball. Tom was brave. He kicked the big boy in the leg. The big boy dropped the knife and cried. Anna picked up the knife and ran to the bench. She saw a lady sitting there. She said, "Lady, lady, help us! The big boy has a knife. He is mean. He wants to cut us." + +The lady was surprised. She saw the knife in Anna's hand and the big boy on the ground. She said, "Oh, dear. What is going on here? This is not normal. This is dangerous. Where are your parents?" + +Tom and Anna pointed to the other side of the park. They said, "They are over there. They are talking. They do not know about the big boy and the knife." + +The lady said, "Come with me. We have to tell them. And we have to call the police. The big boy should not have a knife. He should not be mean. He should be nice and play with you." + +Tom and Anna followed the lady. They were happy. They were safe. They did not like the big boy and the knife. They liked the lady and the park. They wanted to play with normal toys and normal friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. They ran up the hill, but it was very steep and bumpy. + +Lily stumbled on a rock and fell down. She hurt her knee and started to cry. Ben saw her and ran to help her. He said, "Don't cry, Lily. I'm here. Let me see your knee." + +He looked at her knee and saw a small scratch. He said, "It's not bad, Lily. Just a little boo-boo. I have a band-aid in my pocket. Do you want it?" + +Lily nodded and sniffed. Ben took out the band-aid and put it on her knee. He said, "There, all better. Do you want to keep playing?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, thank you, Ben. You're a good friend." + +They got up and held hands. They walked down the hill and saw a jolly man with a big red balloon. He said, "Hello, children. Do you want a balloon?" + +They said, "Yes, please!" and he gave them each a balloon. They said, "Thank you, sir!" and he said, "You're welcome. Have fun!" + +They waved goodbye and ran to the swings. They tied their balloons to the swings and pushed each other. They laughed and had fun. They were happy. +Lila and Tom were playing in the yard with their toys. They liked to make pretend houses and cars and animals. They were having fun until they saw dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise like a big drum. + +"Look, Lila, a storm is coming!" Tom said. "We have to go inside!" + +Lila nodded and grabbed her doll. Tom took his truck and ran to the door. But he forgot his teddy bear. It was lying on the grass, near a big tree. + +The wind blew harder and harder. The rain started to fall. The thunder and lightning scared Lila and Tom. They hugged their mom and dad in the living room. + +"Where is my teddy bear?" Tom asked. He looked out the window and saw his toy getting wet and dirty. + +"Don't worry, Tom, we'll get it later," his mom said. "It's not safe to go out now. The storm is very bad." + +Tom felt sad. He loved his teddy bear. He hoped it was not dead. He wished the storm would go away soon. He wanted to play with his toy again. He missed his teddy bear. +Sara and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big garden with many flowers and trees. Sara's favorite flower was the sunflower. She liked how it was yellow and tall and looked at the sun. + +One day, Sara and Ben went to the garden to play. But the sky was gloomy and gray. There was no sun to make the sunflower happy. Sara felt sad too. She wanted to see the sunflower smile. + +"Look, Ben," she said. "The sunflower is droopy. It needs the sun to cheer up." + +Ben nodded. He had an idea. He ran to the house and came back with a big yellow hat. He put it on his head and said, "Look, Sara. I am the sun. I can make the sunflower happy." + +Sara smiled. She thought Ben was funny and kind. She ran to the sunflower and gave it a hug. She said, "Hello, sunflower. This is Ben. He is the sun. He came to make you happy." + +The sunflower felt the hug and the hat. It felt warm and loved. It lifted its head and smiled. Sara and Ben smiled too. They sat down next to the sunflower and played. They did not mind the gloomy sky. They had each other and the sunflower. They were happy. +Sara likes to play with her toys in the garden. She has a doll, a ball, a car and a bean. The bean is green and small and she can make it jump. She thinks the bean is funny. + +One day, she sees a big bird in the sky. The bird is black and has a long beak. It looks hungry. Sara is scared. She thinks the bird wants to eat her bean. She says, "No, bird, go away! The bean is mine!" + +She picks up the bean and runs to the house. She wants to hide the bean in her room. But she is clumsy. She trips on a rock and falls. The bean flies out of her hand and lands on the grass. + +The bird sees the bean and rushes to get it. It swoops down and grabs the bean with its beak. It flies away with the bean. Sara cries. She says, "Come back, bird, give me back my bean!" + +Her mom hears her cry and comes out of the house. She hugs Sara and says, "It's okay, Sara, don't be sad. The bird was hungry and needed the bean. You have many other toys to play with. I will get you a new bean if you want." + +Sara nods and wipes her tears. She says, "Okay, mom, thank you. I still like the bean, but I also like the doll, the ball and the car. Can we play with them together?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Of course, Sara, let's play. Maybe we can also see some nice birds that don't eat beans." + +They go to the garden and play with the toys. Sara is happy again. She forgets about the bird and the bean. She has fun with her mom. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. The box is heavy. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom says. He tries to lift the box, but it is too heavy. He falls down. "Ouch!" he says. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asks. She helps him get up. She sees a word on the box. It says "port". She does not know what it means. + +"Maybe it is a toy port," she says. "Like a place for boats and ships." + +"Or maybe it is a port for planes," Tom says. "Like a place where they fly and land." + +They want to find out. They look for something to open the box. They see a hammer and a screwdriver. They take them and go back to the box. + +They hit the box with the hammer and the screwdriver. They make a lot of noise. They make a hole in the box. They look inside. + +They see a lot of wires and buttons and lights. They do not see any boats or planes. They do not know what it is. + +They hear a voice. It is Lily's dad. He comes into the garage. He sees the box and the tools and the mess. + +"What are you doing?" he asks. He is angry. + +"We wanted to see what is in the box," Lily says. + +"It is a port for computers," he says. "It is not a toy. It is very expensive and important. You broke it. You are in big trouble." + +Lily and Tom are sorry. They did not know. They say they are sorry. They help Lily's dad clean up. They learn a new word. They do not want to play with ports anymore. +Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls in the living room. They liked to pretend that their dolls were sick and they were doctors. They had a toy x-ray machine that made funny noises and showed pictures of bones. + +"Your doll has a broken arm," Ben said, looking at the x-ray. "She needs a cast and a sling." + +"Oh no!" Lily said, feeling sorry for her doll. "How did she break her arm?" + +Ben shrugged. "Maybe she fell off the swing or the bike. Or maybe someone slapped her." + +Lily gasped. "Who would slap a doll? That's very mean and bad!" + +Ben nodded. "Yes, it is. But don't worry, I can fix her arm. I have some bandages and tape. It will be like new." + +He wrapped the doll's arm with the bandages and tape, and put a sling around her neck. He gave her a kiss and a hug. + +"There, all done," he said, smiling. "She will be better soon." + +Lily smiled too. She thanked Ben for being a good doctor. She hugged her doll and said, "I love you, doll. I'm sorry you got hurt. But you are very brave and strong." + +She looked at the x-ray again. She wondered how much it cost to have an x-ray. She asked Ben, "Is an x-ray expensive?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He didn't know what expensive meant. He guessed it was something big or shiny or nice. He said, "I don't know. Maybe. But it doesn't matter. We have a toy x-ray. It's fun and free. And it helps us see what's wrong with our dolls." + +Lily agreed. She said, "You're right. It doesn't matter. We have a toy x-ray. It's fun and free. And it helps us see what's wrong with our dolls." + +They continued to play with their dolls and their toy x-ray. They were happy and proud to be doctors. They hoped their dolls would never get hurt again. But if they did, they knew how to help them. +Tom was a gifted boy who loved to play with his truck. He had a big red truck that could make loud noises and carry many things. He liked to drive his truck around the yard and pretend he was a driver. + +One day, he saw a new truck in the store window. It was a shiny blue truck that had lights and sirens and a ladder. Tom wanted the new truck very much. He asked his mom if he could have it. + +"Maybe for your birthday, Tom," his mom said. "But you already have a nice truck at home. Why don't you play with that one?" + +Tom was sad. He did not want to wait for his birthday. He wanted the new truck now. He thought his old truck was boring and old. + +The next day, he took his old truck to the park. He saw some other kids playing with their trucks. They had different colors and shapes and sizes. Tom felt jealous. He wished he had a new truck like them. + +He saw a girl with a yellow truck that had flowers and butterflies on it. He thought it was pretty. He walked over to her and said, "Hi, can I play with your truck?" + +The girl looked at him and smiled. She said, "Sure, you can play with my truck. It is a special truck. It can fly and sing and dance. Do you want to see?" + +Tom nodded. He was curious. He took the yellow truck and pushed a button. The truck started to fly in the air and sing a song and dance around. Tom was amazed. He had never seen a truck like that before. + +He looked at his old truck on the ground. He felt sorry for it. He realized that his old truck was not boring and old. It was his truck. It was a gifted truck. It could make loud noises and carry many things. It was his friend. + +He gave the yellow truck back to the girl and said, "Thank you for letting me play with your truck. It is a wonderful truck. But I have to go now. I have to play with my truck." + +The girl nodded. She said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you liked my truck. But I like your truck too. It is a big and strong and red truck. It is a gifted truck. Can I play with your truck?" + +Tom smiled. He said, "Sure, you can play with my truck. It is a special truck. It can drive and honk and haul. Do you want to see?" + +The girl nodded. They took turns playing with each other's trucks. They had fun. They became friends. They learned that every truck was gifted in its own way. +Sara liked to play in the bath. She had many toys that she could splash with. She had a duck, a fish, a boat and a frog. She made them swim and jump and sing in the water. She was very happy. + +But one day, she saw something new on the bookcase in her room. It was a big book with many colors and pictures. She wanted to look at it. She got out of the bath and wrapped herself in a towel. She ran to her room and climbed on the bookcase. + +"Be careful, Sara!" her mom said from the kitchen. "The bookcase is not safe. It can fall down. Come here and I will read you the book." + +But Sara did not listen. She reached for the book and pulled it. But the book was too heavy and the bookcase was not strong. It wobbled and tipped over. Sara and the book and the bookcase all fell down with a loud crash. + +Sara was scared and hurt. She cried and cried. Her mom heard the noise and ran to her room. She saw the mess and hugged Sara. + +"Oh, Sara, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" she asked. + +Sara nodded, but she was still crying. Her mom checked her for any cuts or bruises. She was lucky. She only had a small bump on her head. + +"Let's go back to the bath and clean you up," her mom said. "Then we can read the book together on the couch. It's a very nice book. It's about a princess and a dragon and a magic castle." + +Sara sniffed and wiped her tears. She liked princesses and dragons and magic castles. She held her mom's hand and went back to the bath. She felt safe and loved. She learned a lesson. She would not climb on the bookcase again. She would ask her mom for help. And she would splash with her toys in the water. She was happy again. +Tom and Anna liked to play number games. They had cards with numbers on them, and they took turns to show them to each other. They had to say the number out loud, and if they said it right, they got a point. + +One day, they decided to play number games in the living room. They found a big armchair that was hard and brown. They put the cards on the armchair and sat on the floor. + +"Your turn, Anna," Tom said. He picked a card and showed it to Anna. It had a four and a two on it. + +"Four-two," Anna said. + +"No, that's not right," Tom said. "It's forty-two. Four-ty-two. You have to say the big number first, and then the small number." + +Anna frowned. She did not like to be wrong. She thought Tom was being mean. + +"I don't want to play number games anymore," she said. She got up and ran to the kitchen, where Mom was making cookies. + +"Mom, Tom is being mean to me," she said. "He says I don't know how to say numbers." + +Mom hugged Anna and gave her a cookie. She said, "Don't worry, Anna. You are learning how to say numbers, and you are doing very well. Tom is not being mean, he is trying to help you. Sometimes, learning new things can be hard, but it is also fun. Why don't you go back and play with Tom, and I will come and join you soon. Maybe we can all play a different number game, like counting the cookies or the buttons on the armchair." + +Anna smiled and nodded. She said, "OK, Mom. Thank you for the cookie. I love you." + +She went back to the living room, where Tom was waiting for her. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to make you sad. Do you want to play number games again, or something else?" + +Anna said, "Let's play something else. How about we pretend the armchair is a spaceship, and we go to the moon?" + +Tom said, "That sounds fun. Let's do that. And maybe we can find some numbers on the moon, too." + +They climbed on the armchair and pretended to blast off. They had a lot of fun, and soon Mom came and joined them. They all played together, and learned some new numbers along the way. +Tom and Lily liked to play with water. They had a big tub in the backyard, where they filled buckets and cups and poured them on each other. They laughed and splashed and had fun. + +One day, they decided to try something new. They went to the kitchen and turned on the faucet. Water came out and they caught it in their hands. They ran around the house, dripping water everywhere. They made a big, messy trail of water on the floor, the walls, and the furniture. + +Mom was in the living room, reading a book. She heard the water and saw the mess. She was very angry. She shouted, "Tom! Lily! What are you doing? Stop that right now!" + +Tom and Lily stopped and looked at Mom. They saw her face and knew they were in trouble. They felt sorry and scared. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We just wanted to play with water. We didn't mean to make a mess." + +Mom sighed and said, "I know you like water, but you can't play with the faucet. That's wasteful and dangerous. And you can't display water all over the house. That's dirty and damaging. You have to clean up this mess and go back to the tub. And no more faucet, understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We'll clean up and go back to the tub. We won't play with the faucet again." + +Mom gave them a hug and said, "I love you, but you have to be careful and respectful. Water is precious and so is our home. Now, go get some towels and start wiping." +Lily liked to play in her room with her toys and books. She had a big wardrobe where she kept her clothes and some old things. Sometimes, she liked to open the wardrobe and pretend it was a secret door to another world. + +One day, she opened the wardrobe and saw something weird. There was a furry brown animal with a long tail and big ears. It looked like a big mouse, but it was not a mouse. It was a rat. Lily was scared of rats. She screamed and ran away from the wardrobe. + +"Mommy, mommy, there is a rat in my wardrobe!" she cried. + +Mommy came to her room and looked inside the wardrobe. She did not see a rat. She only saw clothes and old things. + +"Lily, there is no rat here. Maybe you saw a shadow or a toy. Don't be afraid, it was not real," Mommy said. + +"But I saw it, Mommy, I saw it! It was big and furry and weird. It was a rat, I know it!" Lily said. + +Mommy hugged Lily and tried to calm her down. She told her that rats did not live in wardrobes, and that she was safe in her room. She said that maybe Lily had a bad dream, or that her eyes played a trick on her. + +"Come on, Lily, let's shut the wardrobe and forget about the rat. How about we read a nice story together? You can choose your favorite book," Mommy said. + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She picked a book from her shelf and snuggled with Mommy on her bed. She felt better and forgot about the rat. She liked to read stories with Mommy. They were fun and not scary. She decided that she did not want to play in the wardrobe anymore. She liked her room better. +Tom and Mia liked to play with their toy boats in the bath. They made waves and splashes and pretended they were at the port. One day, Tom's boat broke. The mast snapped and the sail tore. Tom was sad and angry. + +"Look what you did!" he shouted at Mia. "You broke my boat!" + +"I didn't!" Mia said. "It was an accident. I'm sorry, Tom." + +Tom did not want to hear it. He grabbed Mia's boat and threw it out of the bath. It landed on the floor with a thud. Mia gasped and started to cry. + +"That's not fair!" she sobbed. "You can't take my boat!" + +Tom did not care. He said he would replace his boat with Mia's boat. He put Mia's boat in the water and tried to play with it. But it was not the same. It was smaller and pinker and had no flag. Tom did not like it. He missed his boat. + +Mama heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tom and Mia in the bath, and the broken boat and the thrown boat on the floor. She was not happy. She had a harsh voice. + +"What is going on here?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over the boats?" + +Tom and Mia told her what happened. Mama shook her head. She said they had to share and be kind to each other. She said they had to say sorry and hug. She said she would try to fix Tom's boat and get it back to him. She said she would not replace it with Mia's boat. + +Tom and Mia felt bad. They realized they had been mean and silly. They said sorry and hugged. They thanked Mama for helping them. They decided to play with both boats together. They made waves and splashes and pretended they were at the port. They were happy again. +Sara was a popular girl in her class. She had many friends who liked to play with her. She was good at sharing, singing and drawing. She always had a smile on her face. + +One day, Sara saw a new boy in her class. His name was Ben. He was very quiet and shy. He did not talk to anyone. He just sat in a corner and read his books. Sara wondered why he was so different. She wanted to be his friend. + +She decided to go and say hello to him. She walked up to him and smiled. "Hi, I'm Sara. What's your name?" she asked. + +Ben looked up from his book. He saw Sara's friendly face. He felt a little scared. He did not know what to say. He whispered, "Ben." + +Sara nodded. "That's a nice name. What are you reading?" she asked. + +Ben showed her his book. It was about dinosaurs. He liked dinosaurs a lot. He knew many facts about them. He said, "This is a book about dinosaurs. They are big and strong and lived a long time ago." + +Sara was curious. She liked animals too. She said, "Wow, dinosaurs are cool. Can you tell me more about them?" + +Ben smiled. He felt happy that Sara was interested in his book. He started to tell her about the different kinds of dinosaurs, their names, their sizes, their diets and their habitats. He showed her the pictures and the words in the book. + +Sara listened and learned. She asked him questions and repeated the words. She said, "You know a lot about dinosaurs. You are very smart. I like your book. Can I borrow it sometime?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Sure, you can borrow it. I have more books at home. I can bring them to school and we can read them together. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Sara smiled. She said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. You are very nice. I'm glad I met you." + +They hugged and laughed. They continued to talk and read. They did not notice the other kids who were watching them. They did not care what they thought. They were happy to have found a new friend. They did not waste any time. They had fun. +Tom is a big truck. He likes to drive on the road and carry things. He has four big tires that help him move fast. He is happy when he works with other trucks. + +One day, Tom has to go to a far place. He drives for a long time and does not see any other trucks. He feels lonely. He wants to talk to someone and play. + +He sees a hill and thinks it will be fun to go up and down. He drives faster and faster. He does not see the big rock on the road. He hits the rock and falls. One of his tires pops and he cannot move. He is scared and sad. + +He cries for help, but no one hears him. He thinks he will be stuck there forever. He wishes he had a friend. + +Then, he hears a beep. He looks up and sees a small car. The car stops and asks, "Are you okay? Do you need help?" + +Tom is surprised and happy. He says, "Yes, please. I fell and my tire popped. I cannot move. I am lonely." + +The car says, "Don't worry. I will help you. I have a spare tire and a jack. I can fix your tire and you can move again. I am lonely too. I was looking for a friend." + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you. You are very kind. You can be my friend." + +The car smiles and says, "You are welcome. You can be my friend too." + +They work together and fix Tom's tire. Then, they drive together and talk and play. They are not lonely anymore. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They were going to an island for a holiday. Lily and Ben liked the boat, but they wanted to see the island more. They were impatient. + +"Mom, when will we get to the island?" Lily asked. + +"Soon, sweetie. Look, you can see it over there. It's very pretty, isn't it?" Mom said, pointing to the green and blue land. + +"Yes, it is. Can we go there now?" Ben said. + +"Not yet, honey. We have to wait for the boat to stop and then we have to remove our bags and follow the man with the hat. He will show us where to go." Dad said. + +Lily and Ben nodded, but they still felt impatient. They looked at the island and imagined all the fun things they could do there. They wanted to swim, play, explore, and make new friends. + +Finally, the boat stopped and the man with the hat said, "Welcome to the island, everyone. Please remove your bags and follow me. I will take you to your rooms and then you can enjoy the island." + +Lily and Ben grabbed their bags and ran after the man with the hat. They were so excited to see the island. They hoped it would be as fun as they dreamed. +Tom was a boy who liked to help his dad. His dad was a mailman who had a big truck. Every day, his dad would deliver letters and packages to many houses. Tom wanted to be a mailman too when he grew up. + +One day, his dad let him come with him to work. Tom was very happy. He put on a blue hat and a blue shirt like his dad. He climbed into the big truck and buckled his seat belt. His dad gave him a smile and said, "Are you ready, Tom?" + +"Yes, dad, I'm ready!" Tom said. + +They drove to the first house. His dad gave him a small package and said, "This is for Mrs. Lee. She lives in the yellow house. Can you deliver it for me?" + +Tom nodded and took the package. He got out of the truck and walked to the yellow house. He rang the doorbell and waited. Mrs. Lee opened the door and saw Tom. She was surprised and happy. + +"Hello, Tom, what a nice surprise! Are you helping your dad today?" she asked. + +"Yes, Mrs. Lee, I'm a mailman too. I have a package for you," Tom said. He handed her the package and smiled. + +Mrs. Lee thanked him and opened the package. Inside was a shiny jewel. It was a gift from her son who lived far away. She put it on her neck and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, isn't it beautiful? It's a jewel from my son. He sent it to me for my birthday. I'm so happy," she said. + +Tom looked at the jewel and nodded. It was very beautiful. It sparkled like a star. He was happy for Mrs. Lee. + +"That's a very nice jewel, Mrs. Lee. You are very lucky. Happy birthday," he said. + +Mrs. Lee gave him a hug and a cookie. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a very good mailman. And a very fair boy. You made my day." + +Tom said goodbye and ran back to the truck. He told his dad about the jewel and the cookie. His dad was proud of him. He said, "You did a great job, Tom. You are a very good helper. And a very fair boy. I love you." + +Tom hugged his dad and said, "I love you too, dad. You are the best mailman. And the best dad." +Lily loved her cat, Fluffy. Fluffy was soft and warm and liked to cuddle with Lily. But one day, Fluffy got sick. He did not eat or play or purr. He only slept and made sad noises. + +Lily was worried. She asked her mom to take Fluffy to the veterinarian. The veterinarian was a nice lady who helped animals. She had a big, modern clinic with many machines and tools. She checked Fluffy with a stethoscope and a thermometer. She said Fluffy had a fever and needed some medicine. + +Lily wanted to help Fluffy. She asked the veterinarian what she could do. The veterinarian smiled and said, "You can be a good friend to Fluffy. You can give him some water and some soft food. You can pet him gently and talk to him softly. But you must not slap him or pull his tail or ears. That would hurt him and make him scared." + +Lily nodded. She loved Fluffy and did not want to hurt him. She said, "I will be a good friend to Fluffy. I will not slap him or pull his tail or ears. I will give him water and food and pet him and talk to him. Thank you, veterinarian, for helping Fluffy." + +The veterinarian said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a good friend to Fluffy. I hope he gets better soon." She gave Lily and Fluffy a sticker and a treat. Lily and Fluffy went home with mom. Lily hugged Fluffy and said, "I love you, Fluffy. You are my best friend." Fluffy snuggled with Lily and purred. He felt a little better. +Lily loved her pillow. It was soft and pink and had a picture of a bunny on it. She hugged it every night when she went to sleep. But one day, her pillow was gone. She looked under her bed, in her closet, and in the laundry basket, but she could not find it. + +She ran to her mom and cried. "Mom, where is my pillow? I need my pillow!" + +Mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Your pillow was very dirty and had a hole in it. I threw it away and bought you a new one. Look, it's on your bed." + +Lily followed her mom to her room and saw a new pillow on her bed. It was white and had a picture of a flower on it. Lily did not like it. It was not soft and pink and did not have a bunny on it. It was not her pillow. + +She shook her head and said, "No, mom. I don't want this pillow. I want my pillow. Please, mom, bring back my pillow." + +Mom sighed and said, "Lily, I know you miss your pillow, but it was old and worn out. This pillow is new and clean and pretty. You will like it if you give it a chance. Why don't you try it tonight and see how it feels?" + +Lily pouted and said, "No, mom. It's not the same. It's not my pillow." + +Mom smiled and said, "Okay, Lily. How about this? I will keep this pillow here for now, and tomorrow we will go to the store and find a pillow that you like. Maybe we can find one that is soft and pink and has a bunny on it. Would that make you happy?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. That would make me happy. Thank you, mom." + +Mom kissed her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you. Now, let's get ready for bed. You can use my pillow for tonight. It's very cozy and smells like me." + +Lily smiled and said, "Okay, mom. I love you too. Can I have a story?" + +Mom said, "Of course, Lily. Let's go to the couch and read a story. Then we can go to sleep and dream of bunnies and flowers." + +Lily took her mom's hand and said, "Okay, mom. Let's go." She felt a little better. She still missed her pillow, but she hoped she would find a new one that she liked. She was glad that her mom was there to help her. She knew that her mom would always love her, no matter what pillow she had. +Lily and Tom were walking with Mom and Dad in the big city. They saw many cars, buses, shops and people. They also saw big pictures on the walls, called billboards. Some billboards had words, some had colors, some had faces. + +"Look, Mom, a billboard with a dog!" Lily said, pointing to a picture of a brown dog with a bone. + +"Yes, that's a dog, Lily. Do you like dogs?" Mom asked. + +"I like dogs. They are soft and gentle. Can we have a dog, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe someday, Lily. But not now. We live in a small flat. Dogs need space and grass," Mom said. + +Lily felt sad. She wanted a dog very much. She looked at the billboard again. The dog looked happy and friendly. She wished she could touch it and play with it. + +Tom saw Lily's sad face. He wanted to make her happy. He had an idea. He ran to the billboard and tried to tear it off the wall. He wanted to give the dog to Lily. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Dad shouted. "Stop that! You can't tear the billboard! That's not yours! That's bad!" + +Tom stopped. He looked at Dad. He looked at the billboard. He had made a big hole in it. He saw some wires and metal behind it. He felt scared and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Dad. I wanted to give the dog to Lily. She likes dogs. She was sad," Tom said. + +Dad sighed. He walked to Tom and hugged him. He was not angry, but he was worried. + +"I know, Tom. You love your sister. You wanted to make her happy. But you can't tear things that are not yours. That's wrong. You could hurt yourself or others. You have to ask first. Do you understand?" Dad said. + +Tom nodded. He understood. He was sorry. He hugged Dad back. + +Lily saw Tom and Dad. She ran to them and hugged them too. She was not sad anymore. She loved her brother. He was kind and silly. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. But you don't have to tear billboards for me. I'm happy with you. Maybe someday we can have a real dog. But for now, we can look at the pictures and pretend," Lily said. + +Tom smiled. He was happy too. He said sorry to the billboard. He hoped the dog was not angry. + +Mom joined them and hugged them all. She was glad they were safe and sorry for the trouble. She hoped no one saw them. + +They walked away from the billboard. They saw more pictures, more cars, more people. They held hands and talked and laughed. They were a happy family. +Anna likes to draw with her purple pencil. She has a big book with many white pages. She can draw anything she wants in her book. She draws flowers, stars, cats, and houses. + +One day, she wants to draw a big rainbow. She needs many colors for her rainbow. She looks for her other pencils, but she cannot find them. She only has her purple pencil. She feels sad. + +She asks her mom, "Mom, where are my other pencils? I want to draw a rainbow." + +Her mom says, "I don't know, Anna. Maybe you left them in your room. Why don't you go and look for them?" + +Anna says, "Okay, mom. I will go and look for them." She puts her purple pencil in her pocket and goes to her room. + +She opens her door and sees her brother, Ben. Ben is sitting on her bed. He has her other pencils in his hand. He is drawing in her book. He is drawing a big monster with many teeth and eyes. + +Anna is angry. She says, "Ben, what are you doing? That is my book and my pencils. Give them back to me!" + +Ben says, "No, Anna. I like your book and your pencils. They are mine now. Go away!" + +Anna says, "No, Ben. They are not yours. They are mine. Mom gave them to me. You are bad. You are not nice." + +She runs to Ben and tries to take her book and her pencils. Ben pushes her away. They start to fight. They yell and cry. + +Their mom hears them and comes to their room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, Anna and Ben. What is going on here? Why are you fighting?" + +Anna says, "Mom, Ben took my book and my pencils. He is drawing a monster in my book. He is ruining my book. He is not sharing. He is not nice." + +Ben says, "Mom, Anna is lying. She gave me her book and her pencils. She said I can draw anything I want. She is trying to take them back. She is not fair. She is not nice." + +Their mom says, "I don't believe either of you. You are both wrong. You are both not nice. You are both not sharing. You are both not kind. You are both in trouble." + +She takes the book and the pencils from Ben. She says, "You will not have your book and your pencils for the rest of the day. You will sit in your room and think about what you did. You will say sorry to each other and hug. You will learn to share and be nice. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will share and be nice." + +They hug each other and say, "I love you, Anna. I love you, Ben." + +Their mom smiles. She says, "I love you, too, Anna and Ben. Now, go and sit in your room and think about what you did. Maybe tomorrow, you can draw a rainbow together with your purple pencil and your other pencils." +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play and eat and laugh. One day, Mom made muffins for them. She put them on the table and said, "You can have one muffin each after lunch. But not before. They are too hot." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They went to play with their toys. But Ben was naughty. He wanted a muffin now. He sneaked to the table and saw the muffins. They smelled good. He reached for one. + +"Ouch!" he cried. The muffin was hot. He dropped it on the floor. Mom heard him and came to see. + +"Ben, what did you do?" she asked. "You were naughty. You tried to take a muffin before lunch. And you made a mess." + +Ben felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was hungry. And the muffin looked yummy." + +Mom sighed. She said, "I know, Ben. But you have to wait. And you have to listen. The muffins are hot. They can hurt you. And you have to share with Lily. She wants a muffin too." + +Ben nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was selfish. Do you want to help me clean up?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. Yes, I want to help you. And then we can play some more." + +Mom smiled too. She said, "That's very nice of you, Lily. And very brave of you, Ben. I'm proud of you both. Now, let's clean up. And then we can have lunch. And then we can have muffins. But be careful. They are still hot." +Lila likes to feed the fish in the pond. She has a bag of fish food that she brings every day. She walks to the pond with her mom and looks for the fish. + +She sees some fish swimming near the tap. The tap is where the water comes out of a pipe. Sometimes the tap makes a loud noise and the water splashes. Lila thinks the fish like the tap because it is fun. + +She opens the bag and throws some food into the pond.

They are very alert and smart. They know when you come to feed them. They are your friends." + +Lila nods and throws some more food. She likes to feed the fish and watch them play.

They want to show everyone their songs. + +They go to the stage with their teacher. They see a lot of people sitting in chairs. They see a big microphone. The microphone makes your voice loud.

It is shiny and metal and has a sharp point. Sara says, "Look, Ben, a hook! We can use it for our pirate game. I can be a pirate with a hook hand, like in the stories." + +Ben says, "OK, Sara, but be careful. The hook is hot. It was near the heater. And don't hurt yourself or me with the point. It is sharp." + +Sara says, "Don't worry, Ben, I will be careful. Come on, let's go to our ship and part for adventure." + +They go to their box and Sara puts the hook on her hand.

They got angry and sad. + +Then, they heard a noise. It was their mom. She came to the jungle and saw them fighting. She said, "What are you doing? Why are you not having fun? You are friends, not enemies. You should play nicely and share your toys. The jungle is big enough for everyone." + +Sara and Tom felt sorry. They realized they were being silly and mean. They said, "You are right, mom. We are sorry. We don't want to fight. We want to play." + +They hugged and made up. They decided to share their toys and play together.

Red loved to zoom around the city all day long. He would drive down the streets, over the bridges and through the tunnels. + +One day, Red drove to a part of the city he had never been before. It was very quiet and all the buildings looked dead. Red was a little scared, but he kept driving. Suddenly, he saw a little girl crying on the sidewalk. + +Red stopped and asked the girl why she was crying. She said she was lost and didn't know how to get home. Red knew the city very well, so he offered to take her home. They zoomed through the city together and soon they arrived at the girl's house.

They had lots of fun. Tim was not confused anymore. He knew that Wednesdays were for playing at the park with his friends. +Once upon a time, in a small town, there was a lot of fog. The fog was so thick that it was hard to see. In this town, there lived a bossy cat named Tom and a little girl named Lily. + +One day, Tom and Lily were playing near the fog. Lily said, "Tom, let's play hide and seek in the fog!" Tom, being a bossy cat, said, "No, Lily, I want to play tag!" Lily didn't like when Tom was bossy, so she said, "Okay, Tom, we can play tag." + +As they played tag in the fog, Lily pointed at a big tree. She said, "Tom, I see a big tree! Let's go there!" Tom agreed, and they ran to the tree. When they got there, they saw a little bird sitting on a branch. The bird said, "Hello, Tom and Lily! I like the fog, but I can't find my friends. Can you help me?" + +Lily and Tom agreed to help the bird find his friends. As they looked around in the fog, they pointed at the places where they thought the bird's friends might be. Finally, they found all of the bird's friends, and they all played together in the fog. +Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a happy boy named Tim. Tim loved to eat avocados. He ate them every day. One day, he found a big avocado tree near his house. + +"Wow, look at all the avocados!" Tim said to his friend, Lily. "Let's pick them and share them with everyone!" + +Tim and Lily picked many avocados from the tree. They gave some to their friends, their family, and even their pets. Everyone in the village started to eat avocados, too. They all felt very happy. + +As more people ate avocados, the happiness in the village increased. Everyone was smiling and laughing all the time. Tim and Lily were so proud of their avocado tree. They knew that sharing the avocados made everyone happy, and that made them happy too. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Mia. Mia loved to lie on the soft grass and watch the clouds. One sunny day, she was lying on the grass when she smelled a sweet perfume. Mia was curious and wanted to find out where the smell was coming from. + +Mia followed the perfume smell and saw a big, pretty flower. The flower was a bit anxious because it was all alone. Mia wanted to help the flower, so she thought of a great idea. She would find more flowers to keep the anxious flower company. + +Mia looked around and found more pretty flowers. She picked them up and put them next to the anxious flower. Now, the flower was not alone anymore. The flower was very happy, and Mia felt happy too. They both enjoyed the sweet perfume and the warm sun together. +Once upon a time, in a peaceful little town, there lived a girl named Sally. Sally loved to play with her big, round ball. One day, she saw a bag in her room. She had an idea. + +Sally said to her mom, "Mom, can I put my ball in the bag and roll it down the hill?" Her mom said, "Yes, but you must be careful." + +Sally put her ball in the bag and went outside. She found a big hill and started to roll the bag down. The bag rolled faster and faster. At the bottom of the hill, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy saw the bag coming and jumped out of the way just in time. + +Timmy said, "Wow, that was close! You should be more careful, Sally." Sally felt bad and said, "I'm sorry, Timmy. I will be more careful next time." + +From that day on, Sally always made sure to think about others when she played. She learned that being careful and thinking about others can keep everyone safe and happy. +Once upon a time, there was a little sheep named Sam. Sam was very selfish. He did not like to share his toys with his friends. One day, Sam and his friends were playing outside. + +Sam's friend, Tim, found a big toy car. Tim said, "Look! Let's drive this car together!" Sam did not want to share the car. He said, "No, I want to drive it alone!" Tim felt sad and walked away. + +Later, Sam saw that his friends were having fun without him. He felt lonely. Sam thought about what he had done. He decided to share the car with his friends. Sam said, "Sorry, Tim. Let's drive the car together." Tim smiled and they all played happily together. From that day on, Sam learned not to be selfish and to share with his friends. +Once upon a time, in a big, big forest, there was an enormous tree. Under the tree, a little girl named Lily liked to sit and read her favorite story. One sunny day, Lily saw a tiny ant walking by. The ant looked very tired and sad. + +Lily said, "Hello, Mr. Ant! Why are you so sad?" The ant stopped and waved at Lily. He said, "I am sad because I can't find my way home. Can you help me, please?" Lily smiled and said, "Yes, I can help you find your home." + +Lily and the ant walked and walked until they found the ant's home. The ant was very happy and said, "Thank you, Lily! You are very kind." Lily waved goodbye to the ant and went back to her big tree to read her story. + +The moral of the story is: Always be kind and help others when they need it. +Tim and Mia liked to play with their toy boat. It was made of wood and had a white sail. They took it to the pond near their house and put it on the water. They watched it sail away, pushed by the wind. + +"Look, it's going so fast!" Mia said. + +"Let's follow it!" Tim said. + +They ran along the edge of the pond, trying to keep up with the boat. But the boat was faster and soon it was very far from them. They could barely see it in the distant water. + +"Wait, Tim, wait!" Mia said. "We have to go back. Mommy said we can't go too far." + +But Tim did not listen. He wanted to catch the boat. He saw a big rock that stuck out into the pond. He thought he could climb on it and reach the boat. + +"Come on, Mia, let's go on the rock!" he said. + +"No, Tim, no!" Mia said. "It's too dangerous. The rock is slippery and the water is deep." + +But Tim did not listen. He ran to the rock and tried to climb on it. He slipped and fell into the water. He screamed and splashed, but he could not swim. + +Mia was scared. She ran to get help. She saw a man walking his dog. She told him what happened. The man ran to the pond and jumped into the water. He tried to find Tim, but it was too late. Tim was gone. + +Mia cried and cried. She wished she had stopped Tim. She wished they had never played with the boat. She wished they had listened to Mommy. She wished Tim was still alive. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, they decided to have a picnic in the park. They packed some sandwiches, fruits and vegetables in a basket and went to find a nice spot under a big tree. + +"Look, Tom, I have a carrot!" Sara said, holding up a long orange vegetable. "Do you like carrots?" + +"No, I don't like carrots. They are too hard and bitter. I like cucumbers. They are soft and juicy." Tom said, showing a green vegetable. "Do you like cucumbers?" + +"Yes, I like cucumbers. They are refreshing and crunchy. But I also like carrots. They are good for your eyes and teeth." Sara said, smiling. "Let's clap for our vegetables. They are healthy and yummy." + +Sara and Tom clapped their hands and laughed. They ate their sandwiches and fruits and shared their vegetables. They were having a lot of fun. + +But then, a big dog came running towards them. It was a rare dog, with black and white fur and a long tail. It looked hungry and angry. It saw the basket and smelled the food. It barked loudly and jumped on the basket, knocking it over. It grabbed the sandwiches and fruits and ran away. + +"Hey, stop! That's our food!" Sara and Tom shouted, but it was too late. The dog was gone. + +Sara and Tom were sad and scared. They had no food left, only some carrots and cucumbers. They didn't want to eat them anymore. They wanted to go home. + +They picked up their basket and walked back to the park gate. They hoped the dog would not come back. They did not clap or laugh anymore. They had a bad picnic. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom bake. One day, mom said they could make a cake for dad's birthday. Lily and Ben were very happy and ran to the kitchen. + +Mom gave them each a bowl and a spoon. She said, "Lily, you can mix the flour and the sugar. Ben, you can mix the eggs and the butter." Lily and Ben nodded and started to work. They wanted to make the best cake ever. + +But soon, Lily looked at Ben's bowl and felt envious. His mixture looked yellow and creamy, while hers looked white and powdery. She thought, "I want to mix the eggs and the butter too. It looks more fun." She put down her spoon and reached for Ben's bowl. + +"Hey, stop!" Ben shouted. "That's mine! You have your own!" He pulled his bowl away from Lily, but it was too late. Some of the mixture spilled on Lily's face and lip. Lily felt a sting and started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Lily's lip bleeding and Ben's bowl half-empty. She said, "Oh no, what did you do? Lily, you should not take Ben's bowl. Ben, you should not be so rough. You both need to share and be careful." She took Lily to the bathroom to clean her lip and put a band-aid on it. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily, but you can't help me bake anymore. You need to rest your lip. Ben, you can finish the cake with me, but you have to be nice to your sister." + +Lily felt sad and sorry. She wished she had not been envious of Ben's bowl. She realized that mixing the flour and the sugar was also important and fun. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry, mom. I love you both. Can I still have some cake later?" Ben and mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. We love you too. And we'll save you a big piece of cake." Lily felt a little better and hugged them. She learned her lesson and decided to be more grateful and kind. +Sara and Ben went to the sea with Mom and Dad. They had a new ball to play with. It was red and blue and shiny. Sara and Ben liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. + +One time, Ben threw the ball too hard and it went into the sea. Sara and Ben ran to the water and looked for the ball. They could not see it. It was gone. Sara and Ben felt sad. + +Mom and Dad came to the water and saw Sara and Ben. They asked what was wrong. Sara and Ben told them about the ball. Mom and Dad hugged them and said they were sorry. + +Then, Mom and Dad said they had a surprise for them. They told Sara and Ben to close their eyes and guess what it was. Sara and Ben closed their eyes and tried to guess. They said different things, like a cake, a book, a toy. + +Mom and Dad said no, no, no. They said to open their eyes and see. Sara and Ben opened their eyes and saw a big bucket with two small fish inside. The fish were orange and yellow and shiny. They swam around and made bubbles. + +Sara and Ben smiled and clapped. They said thank you to Mom and Dad. They said they liked the fish. They said they wanted to name them. Sara said she wanted to name her fish Red. Ben said he wanted to name his fish Blue. Mom and Dad said those were good names. + +Sara and Ben took the bucket and the fish to a shady spot. They watched them and talked to them. They said they were sorry about the ball, but they were happy about the fish. They said they had a fun day at the sea. +Tim and Lily were twins who liked to crawl. They crawled under the table, behind the sofa and in the closet. One day, they decided to crawl outside and see the town. + +They crawled out of the door and down the street. They saw cars, dogs, trees and shops. They crawled across the park and under the bridge. They had fun and laughed. + +But then they saw a big, angry man. He was yelling and waving his arms. He saw Tim and Lily and said, "Hey, you! What are you doing here? Get out of my way!" + +Tim and Lily were scared. They did not know the man. They did not want to make him more angry. They crawled away as fast as they could. + +They crawled back to their street and to their door. They crawled inside and hugged their mom. They told her what happened. She said, "I'm glad you're safe. But you should not crawl outside without me. The town can be dangerous. Next time, ask me first, OK?" + +Tim and Lily nodded. They said, "OK, mom. We're sorry. We love you." They crawled to their room and played with their toys. They did not crawl outside again. +Lila and Tom are best friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, houses, cars and animals with their blocks. + +One day, they decide to make a big square with their blocks. They use all the blue blocks they have. They put them side by side on the floor. They make four lines of blocks. The lines are the same length. They make a square. + +They are very happy with their square. They sit inside the square and pretend it is their castle. They feel safe and cozy. They hear the birds singing outside. They hear their mommies talking in the kitchen. They hear the clock ticking on the wall. They do not hear any loud noises or scary things. They feel peaceful. + +They smile at each other and hug. They say, "We love our square. We love our blocks. We love our friends." They play with their blocks until it is time for lunch. They share their sandwiches and juice. They say, "Thank you" and "Please". They are polite and kind. + +They are happy and peaceful. They are best friends. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big teddy bear. They named him Mr. Snuggles, because he was soft and cuddly. They took him everywhere they went, and told him stories and secrets. + +One day, they went to the park with their mom. They saw a big sign that said "Famous Circus Today". They wanted to see the circus, so they asked their mom if they could go. Their mom said yes, but they had to hold her hand and stay close to her. They agreed, and took Mr. Snuggles with them. + +The circus was amazing. They saw clowns, acrobats, lions, elephants, and a big tent. They laughed and clapped and had fun. They also saw a man who had a big hat and a long coat. He was the ringmaster, and he talked to the people and the animals. He looked at Ben and Lily and smiled. + +"Hello, little ones," he said. "Do you like the circus?" + +"Yes, we do," they said. + +"What is your name?" he asked. + +"I'm Ben, and this is Lily," Ben said. + +"And who is this?" he asked, pointing to Mr. Snuggles. + +"This is Mr. Snuggles, our teddy bear," Lily said. + +"He's very cute," the ringmaster said. "Can I see him?" + +Ben and Lily hesitated. They loved Mr. Snuggles, and they didn't want to give him to a stranger. But the ringmaster looked nice, and he was famous, so they thought he would be careful with him. They handed him Mr. Snuggles. + +"Thank you," the ringmaster said. "He's very soft and cuddly. I think he would make a great addition to the circus. How about I keep him, and you can come and visit him anytime you want?" + +Ben and Lily gasped. They didn't want to lose Mr. Snuggles. They wanted him back. They reached for him, but the ringmaster moved away. + +"Sorry, kids, but Mr. Snuggles is mine now. He's going to be a star. Don't worry, he'll be happy with me. Bye-bye!" he said, and ran into the tent with Mr. Snuggles. + +Ben and Lily cried and screamed. They wanted their mom, but they couldn't see her. They were lost and scared. They had no toys, no friends, and no Mr. Snuggles. They wished they never went to the circus. They wished they never met the ringmaster. They wished they never gave him Mr. Snuggles. They were very sad. The end. +Tom and Jen were excited to play with their new toy. It was a big set of blocks that they could build anything with. They opened the box and dumped the blocks on the floor. They started to make a house, a car, a tower and a bridge. + +But soon they wanted the same blocks. Tom grabbed a red block from Jen's car. Jen pulled a blue block from Tom's tower. They both got angry and shouted at each other. They did not want to share. They did not have fun. + +Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She told Tom and Jen to stop fighting and to clean up. She said that playing with blocks was fun, but only if they were kind and fair. She said that sharing was good, and that they could make better things together. + +Tom and Jen felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and to Mom. They hugged and smiled. They decided to share the blocks and to help each other. They made a big castle with a moat and a dragon. They had a lot of fun. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big house with smoke. Smoke is bad. It hurts your eyes and nose. Tom and Sam are scared. + +"Look, Sam, smoke! Maybe there is fire in the house. Fire is hot and dangerous. We should run away and tell someone," Tom says. + +But Sam does not hear Tom. Sam is deaf. He cannot hear anything. He only sees the smoke and thinks it is fun. He wants to go to the house and see what is inside. He runs to the house and opens the door. + +"Sam, no! Come back! It is not safe!" Tom shouts. But Sam does not hear him. He goes into the house and sees fire. Fire is everywhere. It is bright and loud. Sam is curious. He touches the fire. It burns his hand. He screams. But no one hears him. + +Tom is sad and scared. He wants to save Sam. But he cannot go into the house. It is too hot and smoky. He cries and calls for help. But no one comes. The house is far away from other people. Tom and Sam are alone. + +The fire grows bigger and bigger. It eats the house and everything inside. It eats Sam too. Sam is gone. Tom is alone. He is very sad. He wishes he could have saved Sam. He wishes Sam could have heard him. He wishes they never saw the smoke. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have a big box of toys in their room. They can make many things with their toys. + +One day, they hear a knock on the door. They run to see who it is. It is the mailman. He has a big bag of mail. He gives some mail to their mom. He also gives a small package to Sara and Ben. He says, "This is for you. It is from your grandma. She lives far away. She loves you very much." + +Sara and Ben are curious. They want to know what is in the package. They say, "Thank you, mailman!" They take the package to their room. They open it carefully. They find two books inside. One book has pictures of animals. The other book has pictures of cars. They also find a note from their grandma. It says, "Dear Sara and Ben, I hope you enjoy these books. They are very fun to read. I miss you a lot. I will call you soon. Love, Grandma." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They love their grandma. They love their books. They hug each other. They say, "Let's read them together!" They sit on their bed. They take turns reading the books. They point at the pictures. They learn new words. They laugh at the funny sounds. They have a lot of fun. They say, "Thank you, Grandma!" They draw a picture for her. They put it in an envelope. They write her name on it. They give it to their mom. They say, "Please send this to Grandma. We love her very much." +Lily had a pet cat named Mimi. Mimi was soft and fluffy and liked to play with Lily. Lily loved Mimi very much and gave her hugs and kisses every day. + +One day, Lily and Mimi were playing in the garden. Lily saw a butterfly and wanted to catch it. She ran after the butterfly, clapping her hands and laughing. Mimi followed Lily, curious and playful. + +The butterfly flew over a fence and Lily stopped. She could not go over the fence. It was too high and hard. She was sad and wanted the butterfly. She looked at Mimi and said, "Mimi, can you catch the butterfly for me?" + +Mimi looked at Lily and meowed. She was a smart cat and knew that butterflies were not for catching. They were for watching and admiring. She shook her head and rubbed her nose against Lily's leg. She wanted to comfort Lily and tell her that there were other things to play with. + +But Lily did not understand Mimi. She thought Mimi was foolish and lazy. She said, "Mimi, you are a bad cat. You do not want to help me. You do not love me. Go away!" She pushed Mimi away and turned her back on her. + +Mimi was hurt and confused. She did not know why Lily was angry and mean. She loved Lily and wanted to play with her. She did not like the fence and the butterfly. She liked the garden and Lily. She meowed sadly and walked away. + +Lily soon realized that she had made a mistake. She missed Mimi and wanted to hug her and say sorry. She looked around and saw Mimi sitting under a tree, alone and sad. She felt sorry and ashamed. She ran to Mimi and said, "Mimi, I am sorry. You are not a bad cat. You are a good cat. You are my best friend. I love you. Please forgive me." + +Mimi looked at Lily and saw that she was sincere and sorry. She forgave Lily and purred. She licked Lily's face and snuggled with her. Lily hugged Mimi and kissed her. They were happy and friends again. + +They played in the garden, forgetting the fence and the butterfly. They clapped and laughed and had fun. They were not foolish and angry. They were smart and loving. They were Lily and Mimi. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big poster of a blue tiger. The poster said: "Come and see the blue tiger at the zoo! He is very rare and special!" + +Lily and Tom wanted to see the blue tiger. They asked their moms if they could go to the zoo. Their moms said yes, but they had to be careful and stay together. + +At the zoo, Lily and Tom saw many animals. They saw lions, monkeys, elephants, and giraffes. They counted how many animals they saw. They had fun. + +Then they saw the blue tiger. He was in a big cage. He looked sad and lonely. He did not roar or play. He just lay on the ground. + +Lily and Tom felt sorry for the blue tiger. They wondered why he was blue and why he was in a cage. + +They asked a zookeeper who was nearby. The zookeeper said: "The blue tiger is not a real tiger. He is a white tiger who was painted blue by some bad people. They wanted to make money by showing him to people. But we rescued him and brought him here. We are trying to wash off the paint and find him a new home." + +Lily and Tom were shocked and angry. They said: "That is not fair! That is not nice! The blue tiger is a living thing, not a toy! He deserves to be happy and free!" + +The zookeeper nodded and said: "You are right. The blue tiger is a living thing, not a toy. He deserves to be happy and free. And you are very kind and smart to care about him. Thank you for being his friends." + +Lily and Tom smiled and said: "You are welcome. We hope the blue tiger will be happy and free soon." + +The moral of the story is: We should respect and protect all living things, and not harm them for our own gain. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and watch TV. One day, they watch a show about animals. The show has a lion, a monkey, a giraffe and a penguin. + +Lily likes the lion best.

He thinks the penguin is cute and funny and smart. He says, "The penguin is the best animal. He can swim and slide and dance. He is the coolest of the animals." + +Lily and Ben have different opinions. They start to argue. They say, "No, you are wrong. My animal is better than yours. Your animal is silly and boring and weak." + +They get angry and stop talking. They turn away from each other and watch the show with sad faces. They do not have fun anymore. + +Then, the show has a new animal. It is a panda. The panda is black and white and fluffy. He eats bamboo and rolls and plays. He is very cute. + +Lily and Ben both like the panda. They say, "Wow, look at the panda. He is so cute. He is a good animal." + +They look at each other and smile. They say, "Sorry, I was mean. You can like your animal and I can like mine. We can have different opinions and still be friends." + +They hug and watch the show together. They are happy again. They learn that opinions are not bad. They are just different. They can share and respect and enjoy them. +Lily loved to spin. She spun in her dress, she spun with her toys, she spun on the grass. She liked how the world looked when she spun, like a big swirl of colors and shapes. + +One day, she found a trumpet in the garage. It was shiny and loud and had buttons and a mouthpiece. Lily wanted to try it. She picked it up and blew into it. It made a funny noise, like a honk. Lily laughed. She blew harder and the noise got louder. She liked the trumpet. + +She ran outside with the trumpet and spun around. She blew the trumpet as she spun, making a song of honks and spins. She felt happy and dizzy. + +She saw her friend Ben across the street. He was playing with his ball. He heard Lily's song and looked at her. He smiled and waved. + +"Hi, Lily!" he shouted. "What are you doing?" + +"I'm spinning and playing the trumpet!" Lily shouted back. "It's brilliant!" + +"Can I try?" Ben asked. + +"Sure!" Lily said. She stopped spinning and ran to Ben. She gave him the trumpet. He took it and blew into it. He made a different noise, like a squeak. He laughed. He blew softer and the noise got lower. He liked the trumpet. + +He ran with Lily and spun around. He blew the trumpet as he spun, making a song of squeaks and spins. He felt happy and dizzy. + +They spun and played the trumpet together, making a brilliant song of honks and squeaks and spins. They had fun. They were friends. +Anna and Ben were playing in the sand. They had a bucket and a spade each. They wanted to make a big castle with towers and walls. + +Anna was digging a hole for the moat. She was very careful and made it deep and wide. Ben was piling up the sand for the castle. He was very fast and made it high and round. + +But Ben was also very curious. He wanted to see what was in Anna's hole. He walked over to her and leaned over the edge. He saw something shiny and round in the sand. He reached out his hand and grabbed it. + +"Ow!" Anna cried. "You pinched me!" + +Ben looked at his hand. He had not grabbed the shiny thing. He had grabbed Anna's finger. He had pinched her hard. + +"I'm sorry, Anna!" Ben said. "I didn't mean to pinch you. I wanted to see what this was."

They both wanted the coin. + +Then they heard a voice. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" It was their mom. She had come to check on them. She saw them fighting over the coin. + +She walked over to them and took the coin from their hands. + +"Stop it, Anna and Ben!" she said. "You can't fight over a coin. It's not nice. It's not yours. It belongs to someone else. Maybe they lost it in the sand. We should give it back." + +She put the coin in her pocket. She gave them a hug. + +"Now, why don't you play nicely together?" she said. "You can share the bucket and the spade. You can make a beautiful castle. And maybe you can find something else in the sand. Something that is not shiny and round. Something that is fun and safe." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry to each other. They hugged too. + +They went back to their sand castle. They worked together. They had fun.

They print pictures of animals and flowers on the paper. They cut the paper and make cards for their moms and dads. + +One day, Tom has a big paper. He prints a big lion on it. He is very proud of his lion. He shows it to Sue. Sue likes the lion, but she has a small paper. She prints a small bird on it. She is sad. She thinks her bird is not as good as Tom's lion. + +Tom sees Sue's bird. He says, "Your bird is very pretty. I like the colors. But it is too small. It does not fit on your paper. You need a bigger paper. Like mine." + +Sue feels bad. She says, "But I don't have a bigger paper. This is all I have. And I like my bird. It fits on my paper. It is just right for me." + +Tom does not listen. He says, "No, no, no. Your bird is too small. It is not good. You should print a bigger bird. Like mine." + +He takes Sue's paper and tears it. He gives her his paper. He says, "Here. Use this paper. Print a bigger bird. Like mine." + +Sue cries. She says, "No, no, no. You are mean. You broke my paper. You hurt my bird. I don't want your paper. I don't want your bird. I want my paper. I want my bird." + +She runs away. She does not want to play with Tom anymore. + +Tom is alone. He looks at his paper. He sees his lion. He does not feel proud anymore. He feels sorry. He says, "I was wrong. I was rude. I should not have torn Sue's paper. I should not have hurt Sue's bird. I should have been nice. I should have liked Sue's bird. It was very pretty. It was very fit. It was very Sue." + +He runs after Sue. He says, "Sue, Sue, wait. I am sorry. I am sorry. I was wrong. I was rude. I like your paper. I like your bird. It is very pretty. It is very fit. It is very you. Can we be friends again?" + +Sue stops. She looks at Tom. She sees his lion. She says, "Your lion is very big. It is very strong. It is very Tom. But it is not very nice. It is not very fit. It is not very you. You are not a lion. You are a boy. A boy who can be nice. A boy who can be fit. A boy who can be you. Can you be that boy?" + +Tom nods. He says, "Yes, yes, yes. I can be that boy. I want to be that boy. I want to be nice. I want to be fit. I want to be me. And I want to be your friend." + +Sue smiles. She says, "OK, OK, OK. You can be that boy. You can be nice. You can be fit. You can be you. And you can be my friend." + +They hug. They are friends again. They play with paper and crayons. They print pictures of animals and flowers. They cut the paper and make cards for their moms and dads. They are happy. They are fit. They are themselves. +Lila and Ben were playing in the yard when they saw dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise like a drum. It was thunder. + +"Let's go inside, Lila. It's going to rain," Ben said. + +They ran to the house and closed the door. They looked out the window and saw bright flashes in the clouds. They were lightning. + +"Wow, look at the lightning, Ben. It's so light and fast," Lila said. + +"It's scary, Lila. It can hurt us if it hits the ground," Ben said. + +They hugged each other and waited for the storm to pass. They heard the rain falling on the roof and the wind blowing the trees. + +"I'm thirsty, Lila. Can we drink some water?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben. Let's go to the kitchen and drink some water," Lila said. + +They walked to the kitchen and filled their cups with water. They drank the water and felt better. + +"Water is good, Lila. It makes us strong and healthy," Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben. Water is good. And so is lightning. It makes the sky light and beautiful," Lila said. + +They smiled and went back to the window. They watched the lightning until it stopped and the sun came out. They were happy and brave. +Sara and Ben were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to do something new and fun. + +"Let's make something in the kitchen," Sara said. "We can be creative and use what we find." + +"OK," Ben agreed. "But we have to be careful and not make a mess." + +They went to the kitchen and looked for ingredients. They found flour, eggs, milk, sugar, butter, and some blueberries. They also found a big bowl, a spoon, a muffin tin, and some paper cups. + +"Let's make muffins," Sara said. "We can put blueberries in them. They will be yummy and pretty." + +They poured some flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and butter in the bowl and mixed them with the spoon. They filled the paper cups with the batter and added some blueberries on top. They put the muffin tin in the oven and turned it on. + +"Mom will be so happy when she sees our muffins," Ben said. "She will say we are very creative and smart." + +They waited for the muffins to bake. They smelled good and made their mouths water. They heard a beep from the oven. + +"They are ready," Sara said. "Let's take them out." + +They put on oven mitts and opened the oven door. They saw their muffins, golden and fluffy, with blueberries peeking out. They smiled and felt proud. + +But then, something else appeared in the oven. It was a small, furry, gray creature with big ears and a long tail. It had sneaked into the oven when they were not looking. It had eaten some of their muffins and made a hole in the tin. + +"Ah!" Sara and Ben screamed. "It's a mouse!" + +The mouse looked at them and squeaked. It jumped out of the oven and ran away. + +Sara and Ben were shocked and scared. They dropped the muffin tin and ran to the living room. They hugged each other and cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the mouse hole. She guessed what had happened. She felt sorry for Sara and Ben. + +She went to the living room and comforted them. She told them they had done a great job making the muffins. She said they were very creative and brave. She said the mouse was just hungry and curious. She said they could still eat the muffins that were not touched by the mouse. + +She took them to the kitchen and gave them each a muffin. They tasted good and sweet. They smiled and felt better. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to always check the oven before putting anything in it. They also learned to share their muffins with others, even with mice. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big crane. The crane is yellow and tall. It can lift heavy things. + +"Wow, look at the crane!" Tom says. "It is so strong and cool!" + +"I want to be a crane too!" Lily says. "Can we dress like cranes?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He runs to the sandbox. He finds two sticks and two buckets. He gives one stick and one bucket to Lily. + +"Here, this is your crane arm and your crane mouth," he says. "Put the stick in the bucket and hold it with your hand. Then you can lift and drop the sand." + +Lily smiles. She puts the stick in the bucket and holds it with her hand. She lifts and drops the sand. She makes a sound like a crane. "Beep, beep, beep!" + +Tom does the same. He puts the other stick and bucket in his hand. He lifts and drops the sand. He makes a sound like a crane. "Beep, beep, beep!" + +They have fun playing as cranes. They pretend to build a house with the sand. They help each other and work together. They are happy. + +Dressing like cranes is easy and fun. Tom and Lily love cranes. They are the best crane twins. +Anna wanted to play with her dolls, but she could not find them. She looked in her toy box, under her bed, and behind the sofa, but they were not there. She remembered that she had put them in a drawer in her dresser, but it was too high for her to reach. + +She saw a chair in the corner and had an idea. She pushed the chair to the dresser and climbed on it. She opened the top drawer, but it was empty. She opened the second drawer, but it was full of socks. She opened the third drawer, but it was stuck. She pulled and pulled, but it did not move. She started to struggle with the drawer, but it was too hard. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" her mom asked, coming into the room. She saw Anna on the chair, trying to open the drawer. + +"I want my dolls, Mommy," Anna said. "They are in the drawer, but I can't open it." + +"Let me help you, sweetie," her mom said. She lifted Anna off the chair and put her on the floor. She opened the third drawer with ease and took out the dolls. She gave them to Anna and smiled. "Here you go, honey. Next time, ask me for help, okay?" + +"Okay, Mommy," Anna said. She hugged her mom and thanked her. She took her dolls to the sofa and started to play. She was happy to have her dolls and her mom. She did not need the drawer anymore. +Lily was playing with her doll in her room. She liked to pretend that her doll was her baby and she was the mom. She gave her doll a bottle and a hug and said, "I love you, baby. You are so cute and sweet." + +But then she heard a loud noise from the hall. It sounded like a big bang and a crash. Lily was scared. She put down her doll and ran to the door. She opened it and saw her brother Tom on the floor. He had knocked over a lamp and a vase. The lamp was broken and the vase was shattered. There were pieces of glass everywhere. + +"Tom, what did you do?" Lily asked. She was angry and worried. She knew that Mom and Dad would be mad at Tom for making a mess and breaking things. + +Tom looked at Lily with a guilty face. He was holding his arm. There was a cut on his arm and blood was dripping. He was hurt and scared. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was running in the hall and I tripped and fell. I didn't mean to break the lamp and the vase. It was an accident. Please don't tell Mom and Dad. Please help me." + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She saw that he was in pain and he needed help. She forgot about being angry and worried. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I won't tell Mom and Dad. But you need to go to the bathroom and wash your arm. I will get a band-aid and some cotton. Come on, let's go." + +She took Tom's hand and helped him get up. She led him to the bathroom. She repeated, "It's okay, Tom. I'm here to help you. You will be fine." She was a good sister. She was not helpless. She was brave and kind. +Tim and Jen were playing in the park with their kites. They liked to make their kites fly high in the sky and watch the colors. But then the sky became dark and the wind became strong. The rain started to fall and the park became wet. + +"Let's go home, Tim!" Jen said. "The rain is too much and the kites will get wet too!" + +But Tim did not want to go. He wanted to keep flying his kite. He said, "No, Jen! I like the rain and the wind. My kite can fly higher and faster!" + +Jen was angry with Tim. She said, "Tim, you are silly! The rain and the wind are bad. They can make a flood and break your kite. Come with me now!" + +But Tim did not listen. He ran away from Jen and flew his kite. Jen was sad and scared. She ran to her mom and dad, who were waiting in the car. They drove away from the park. + +Tim did not see them go. He was too busy with his kite. He did not see the water rising in the park. He did not see the trees falling and the rocks rolling. He did not see the flood coming. + +The flood was fast and strong. It reached Tim and his kite. It lifted them up and carried them away. Tim was afraid and sorry. He wished he had listened to Jen. He wished he had gone home. He wished he had not been silly. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play on the farm with their dad. One day, dad says he will buy a new cow. Sara and Ben are happy. They want to see the new cow. + +Dad brings the new cow home. She is brown and white. She has big eyes and a soft nose. But she is shy. She does not want to play with Sara and Ben. She hides behind the barn. Sara and Ben are sad. They want to be friends with the new cow. + +Dad says they have to be gentle and patient with the new cow. He says the new cow is scared of new things. He says they have to show her they are nice and kind. He says they have to give her some hay and water and talk to her softly. + +Sara and Ben do what dad says. They bring some hay and water to the new cow. They say hello and tell her their names. They say they want to play with her. They say they will not hurt her. They say they like her. + +The new cow listens to Sara and Ben. She sees they are gentle and patient. She sees they are nice and kind. She feels less scared. She comes out from behind the barn. She lets Sara and Ben pet her. She says moo. Sara and Ben are happy. They have a new friend. + +The moral of the story is: be gentle and patient with shy animals. They need time to trust you. They can be good friends if you are nice and kind. +Sam liked to climb trees. He liked to see the birds and the sky and the flowers. He liked to feel the wind and the sun on his face. He was not afraid of high places. + +One day, he saw a big tree with many branches. He wanted to climb it and see what was on top. He ran to the tree and started to go up. He did not see his mom or his dad or his sister. He did not hear them call his name. + +He climbed and climbed until he reached the highest branch. He looked around and saw a big nest. He saw four eggs inside. He wondered what kind of birds they were. He wanted to touch them and see how they felt. He reached out his hand and touched one egg. It was warm and smooth. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud squawk. He turned his head and saw a big bird flying towards him. It was angry and scared. It was the mother bird. She wanted to protect her eggs. She did not like Sam. She did not want him near her nest. She opened her beak and showed her sharp teeth. She flapped her wings and made more noise. + +Sam was afraid and sorry. He did not mean to make the bird mad. He did not want to hurt the eggs. He wanted to go down and go home. But he was too high. He could not see the ground. He could not see his mom or his dad or his sister. He could only see the bird. He was in trouble. + +He cried and shouted for help. He hoped someone would hear him and save him. He wished he did not climb the tree. He wished he listened to his mom and dad and sister. He wished he stayed with them. + +Then, he saw something else. He saw a boy on another branch. He was older and bigger than Sam. He had a stick in his hand. He saw Sam and the bird. He saw Sam was scared and the bird was angry. He wanted to help Sam. He offered him his stick. He said, "Take this. You can use it to scare the bird away. Then you can come down. I will help you." + +Sam looked at the boy and the stick. He was glad and thankful. He took the stick and waved it at the bird. The bird did not like the stick. It backed away and flew to another tree. Sam was safe. He smiled at the boy and said, "Thank you. You are very kind. You are my friend." + +The boy smiled back and said, "You are welcome. I am Tom. I like to climb trees too. But you have to be careful. Some trees have birds and some birds have eggs. They do not like strangers. They can be mean. Next time, you should ask me before you climb. I know which trees are good and which trees are bad." + +Sam nodded and said, "I will. I am sorry I climbed the wrong tree. I did not know. I am Sam. I like to climb trees too. But I also like to see my mom and dad and sister. They are looking for me. They are worried. I have to go now. Can I see you again?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, you can. I live near here. I come to this park every day. I will show you the good trees and the bad trees. We can climb together. We can be friends." + +Sam and Tom climbed down the tree. They saw Sam's mom and dad and sister. They were happy and relieved. They hugged Sam and asked him if he was okay. They thanked Tom for helping him. They said he was brave and smart. They offered him a cookie and a juice. Tom accepted and said he was hungry and thirsty. + +Sam and Tom ate and drank and talked. They told each other their stories and their likes and dislikes. They laughed and played. They became friends. They decided to climb trees again. But only the good ones. And only with each other. They learned their lesson. They had fun. They were happy. The end. +Ben and Sam like to play hockey. They have sticks and a ball. They make a net with two chairs. They take turns to hit the ball and try to score. + +One day, Ben and Sam have a fight. Ben hits the ball too hard and it breaks Sam's stick. Sam gets mad and pushes Ben. Ben falls down and cries. He says Sam is mean and he does not want to play with him. + +Sam feels sorry and says he is sorry. He gives Ben his stick and says they can share. Ben stops crying and says he is sorry too. He gives Sam a hug and says they are friends. + +They play hockey again. They have fun and laugh. They do not fight anymore. They are wild and happy. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lila wants to go on the slide, but Tom is scared. + +"Come on, Tom, it will be fun!" Lila says. + +"No, it is too high and too fast. I don't want to go." Tom says. + +Lila thinks Tom is silly. She runs to the slide and climbs up the steps. She sits on the top and looks down. She sees Tom at the bottom, looking up at her. + +"Are you ready, Lila?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, I am!" Lila says. She pushes herself and slides down. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs and screams. + +But then, she sees something bad. The slide is not smooth. It has a big hole in the middle. Lila tries to stop, but she can't. She falls through the hole and lands on the ground. She hurts her knee and her elbow. She cries and cries. + +Tom runs to her and helps her up. He hugs her and says sorry. + +"I told you it was too high and too fast. You should have listened to me." Tom says. + +Lila feels sad and angry. She wishes she had listened to Tom. She regrets going on the slide. She says sorry to Tom too. + +"Let's go home and get a band-aid. Maybe we can play something else tomorrow." Tom says. + +Lila nods and holds Tom's hand. They walk home together. They are still friends. + +The slide is bad. It is old and thin. It needs a new start. Maybe someone will fix it someday. +Tom and Sue were playing on the lawn. They had a ball, a kite and a teddy bear. They threw the ball, flew the kite and hugged the teddy bear. They had fun for a while, but then they got bored. + +"Let's do something else," Tom said. "This is boring." + +"Like what?" Sue asked. + +"Let's go to the park," Tom said. "There are swings and slides and sand." + +"But Mom said we have to remain on the lawn," Sue said. "She will be mad if we go away." + +"Who cares?" Tom said. "She won't know. Come on, it will be fun." + +Tom grabbed the ball and ran to the gate. Sue looked at the kite and the teddy bear. She liked the park, but she also liked Mom. She did not want to make Mom mad. She did not know what to do. + +"Are you coming or not?" Tom shouted from the gate. + +Sue thought for a moment. Then she said, "No, I'm not. I'm staying on the lawn. Mom said so." + +Tom rolled his eyes. He thought Sue was silly. He opened the gate and ran to the park. He did not see the big dog that was waiting for him. The dog barked and chased Tom. Tom dropped the ball and ran back to the gate. He was scared and sorry. + +Sue saw Tom running back. She saw the dog behind him. She felt sorry for Tom, but she also felt glad that she remained on the lawn. She picked up the kite and the teddy bear. She waved them at the dog. The dog stopped and looked at them. It liked the kite and the teddy bear. It forgot about Tom. It ran to the lawn and played with Sue. Sue and the dog had fun. Tom watched them from the gate. He felt bored and sad. He wished he had remained on the lawn too. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Tom says. + +They run to the slide. Lily goes first. She sits on the slide and zips down. She laughs and says, "That was fun!" + +Tom goes next. He sits on the slide, but he forgets to zip his coat. His tie gets stuck on the slide. He can't move. He feels scared. + +"Help! Help!" Tom cries. + +Lily hears Tom. She runs to the slide. She sees Tom's tie. She knows it is dangerous. She tries to pull the tie, but it is too tight. + +"Wait, Tom! I will get help!" Lily says. + +She runs to the park keeper. She tells him what happened. The park keeper follows Lily to the slide. He has scissors. He cuts Tom's tie. He frees Tom. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Tom says. + +"You're welcome, Tom. But be careful next time. Don't wear a tie on the slide. It is dangerous." The park keeper says. + +Lily and Tom hug. They are happy. They say sorry to the park keeper for the tie. They go to play on the swings. They are careful. They have fun. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found coins or buttons or glass. They put them in their pockets and showed them to their mom. + +One day, Lila found something very shiny and hard. It was clear and sparkly and had many sides. She thought it was a diamond. She was very happy and ran to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I found a diamond!" she said, holding it up. + +"Wow, Lila, that's so pretty!" Ben said. "Can I see it?" + +Lila gave him the diamond. Ben looked at it closely. He wondered how it tasted. He put it in his mouth and tried to chew it. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "This hurts my teeth!" + +He spit out the diamond and rubbed his mouth. Lila was angry. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" she said. "You could have broken the diamond or your teeth!" + +"I'm sorry, Lila, I was curious," Ben said. "I wanted to know if it was sweet or sour or salty." + +Lila shook her head. She took the diamond back and put it in her pocket. + +"Ben, you can't chew diamonds," she said. "They are not food. They are for looking or wearing or giving. Maybe when we grow up, we can find a ring or a necklace that fits the diamond. Then we can wear it and be fancy." + +Ben nodded. He felt silly and sorry. He hugged Lila and said he was sorry again. + +"It's okay, Ben, I forgive you," Lila said. "But next time, don't chew things that are not food, okay?" + +"Okay, Lila, I promise," Ben said. + +They smiled and went back to playing in the sand. They hoped to find more shiny things, but they did not chew them. They learned their lesson. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his cars and trucks. He had many toys, but his favorite was a gray truck that he called Max. He took Max everywhere, even to bed. He liked to sleep with Max under his pillow. + +One day, Tom had to go to the hospital. He was scared and did not want to leave his home and his toys. His mom told him that he had to have an operation to make his ear better. He had a bad ear that hurt a lot and made him hear funny noises. She said that the doctor would give him a special sleep that would make him not feel anything. She said that he could take Max with him to the hospital. + +Tom hugged Max and put him in his backpack. He went with his mom to the hospital. There, he met a nice nurse who gave him a gown and a bracelet. She took him to a room with a big bed and a lot of machines. She said that the doctor would come soon to do the operation. She asked him if he had a toy with him. Tom showed her Max. She smiled and said that Max was a brave truck. She said that he could keep Max with him during the operation. + +The doctor came and said hello to Tom. He said that he was going to help him with his ear. He said that he would give him a mask that would make him sleep. He said that when he woke up, his ear would be better and he could go home. He asked Tom if he was ready. Tom nodded and held Max tight. He put the mask on his face and breathed in. He felt sleepy and closed his eyes. + +When Tom woke up, he was in another room. His mom was there, smiling. She said that the operation was over and that he did very well. She said that his ear was fixed and that he would not have any more pain or noises. She said that he could go home soon. She gave him a hug and a kiss. Tom looked for Max. He saw him on a table next to his bed. He reached for him and hugged him too. He said, "Thank you, Max. You helped me be brave. You are my best friend." Max did not say anything, but Tom knew that he was happy. + +The moral of the story is that having a toy or a friend can help you face your fears and cope with difficult situations. +Lily liked to count things. She counted her fingers, her toes, her dolls, and her books. She counted the stars at night and the flowers in the garden. She counted everything she saw. + +One day, she saw a shiny thing on the table. It was round and had holes in it. She asked her mom what it was. + +"That's an ashtray, Lily. It's for people who smoke. But smoking is bad for you, so you should never do it," her mom said. + +Lily nodded. She didn't like the smell of smoke. She wondered how many holes the ashtray had. She decided to count them. + +She picked up the ashtray and started to count. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," she said out loud. + +She was proud of herself. She knew how to count to ten. She put the ashtray back on the table and ran to her mom. + +"Mom, mom, I counted the holes in the ashtray. There are ten holes. I can count to ten!" she exclaimed. + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "That's great, Lily. I'm so proud of you. You're a smart girl. And I'm grateful that you don't smoke. Smoking is bad for you, remember?" + +Lily nodded again. She was happy. She loved her mom. And she loved to count. +Lily and Sam were bored. They wanted to watch a video, but the TV was too high. They tried to reach the remote, but they were too small. + +"Let's get a chair," Sam said. He ran to the kitchen and brought back a chair. He put it in front of the TV and climbed on it. He reached for the remote, but he slipped and fell. + +"Ow!" he cried. "That hurt!" + +Lily ran to help him. She saw a red mark on his arm. She kissed it and said, "It's OK, Sam. You are brave." + +Sam smiled and hugged her. "Thank you, Lily. You are kind." + +They looked at the TV again. They still wanted to watch a video, but they had no remote. + +"Maybe we can ask Mom," Lily said. She took Sam's hand and they walked to the living room. They saw Mom sitting on the couch, reading a book. + +"Mom, can we watch a video, please?" Lily asked. + +Mom looked at them and smiled. "Sure, sweeties. What video do you want to watch?" + +Lily and Sam thought for a moment. They liked different videos. Lily liked princesses and fairies. Sam liked cars and dinosaurs. + +"How about we take turns?" Mom suggested. "Lily can choose first, then Sam can choose next." + +Lily and Sam agreed. They nodded and said, "OK, Mom." + +Mom picked up the remote and gave it to Lily. Lily pressed the button and the TV turned on. She looked for her favorite video. She found it and pressed play. + +The video was about a fairy who had a magic wand. She could make things appear and disappear. She was very happy and had many friends. + +Lily and Sam watched the video. They liked the fairy and her magic. They clapped and laughed. + +Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy to see them happy. + +She went to the kitchen and got some snacks. She brought back some cookies and some juice. She gave them to Lily and Sam. + +"Here you go, sweeties. Some cookies and some juice for you." + +Lily and Sam said, "Thank you, Mom." They took the cookies and the juice. They bit the cookies and sipped the juice. + +The cookies were sweet and crunchy. The juice was sour and tangy. + +Lily and Sam made faces. They did not like the juice. They spit it out and said, "Yuck!" + +Mom laughed and said, "Sorry, sweeties. I forgot you don't like sour juice. How about some water instead?" + +Lily and Sam said, "Yes, please." They gave back the juice and took the water. They drank the water and felt better. + +They finished the cookies and the water. They watched the video until the end. They clapped and cheered. + +The video was over. It was Sam's turn to choose. He pressed the button and looked for his favorite video. He found it and pressed play. + +The video was about a car that could talk and fly. He had a driver who was his friend. They went on adventures and solved problems. + +Lily and Sam watched the video. They liked the car and his driver. They gasped and smiled. + +Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy to see them happy. + +She hugged them and said, "I love you, sweeties. You are the best." + +Lily and Sam hugged her back and said, "We love you, Mom. You are the best." +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw with ink. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Lila says. + +"Maybe it has more toys or ink!" Ben says. + +They pull and push the box, but it does not open. They see a lock on the box. They need a key to open the lock. + +"Look, there is a key on the ground!" Lila says. She picks up the key and puts it in the lock. She turns the key and hears a click. + +"Yay, we did it!" Ben says. He lifts the lid of the box. + +But there are no toys or ink in the box. There is a big snake in the box. The snake is angry and hungry. It hisses and bites Lila and Ben. + +"Help, help!" Lila and Ben scream. But no one hears them. The snake wraps around them and squeezes them. + +The box was a trap. Someone was not kind. Someone wanted to hurt Lila and Ben. They should have left the box alone. They should have run away. But it is too late. The snake eats them. The end. +Lily and Ben like to play knights and dragons. Lily has a small sword that she got for her birthday. Ben has a big shield that he made from a box. They run around the yard and pretend to fight the dragon. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a big sword that looks shiny and sharp. Lily and Ben want to play with him, but they are shy. They watch him swing his sword and make loud noises. + +The new boy sees them and smiles. He runs over to them and says, "Hi, I'm Sam. Do you want to play knights and dragons with me?" Lily and Ben nod and smile. Sam says, "You have a nice shield, Ben. And you have a nice sword, Lily. Can I see it?" + +Lily holds out her small sword to Sam. She is proud of it, but she thinks Sam's sword is better. Sam takes her sword and looks at it. He says, "Wow, this is a cool sword. It's small, but it's strong and fast. You must be a brave knight, Lily." + +Then he offers his big sword to Lily. He says, "Do you want to try my sword? It's big, but it's heavy and slow. You can use it if you want." Lily is surprised and happy. She takes Sam's sword and feels how heavy it is. She says, "Thank you, Sam. Your sword is awesome. Can I use it for a little while?" + +Sam says, "Sure, Lily. You can use it for as long as you want. And I can use your sword. It's fun to try new things. Let's go play knights and dragons together." Lily and Ben agree. They follow Sam to the park and play with their swords. They have a lot of fun and make a new friend. +Sara and Ben are at the park with Mom. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. Sara and Ben want to feed the ducks. Mom gives them some bread. + +"Order, order!" says a big duck. He swims to Sara and Ben. He wants the bread. "I am the boss of the pond. Give me the bread first!" + +"No, you are not the boss!" says Sara. "You are rude. We will share the bread with all the ducks." + +The big duck is angry. He tries to bite Sara. Ben throws a piece of bread at him. The big duck chases the bread. + +"Look, a fly!" says Ben. He sees a small bug with wings. He wants to catch it. He runs after the fly. + +"Be careful, Ben!" says Mom. "Don't go too far!" + +Ben follows the fly. He does not see where he is going. He trips over a rock. He falls down. He hurts his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" says Ben. He cries. Mom and Sara run to him. They hug him. They check his knee. + +"It's OK, Ben," says Mom. "It's just a scratch. I have a band-aid for you." + +Mom puts a band-aid on Ben's knee. She kisses it. Ben stops crying. + +"Thank you, Mom," says Ben. "You are the best." + +Sara gives Ben a piece of bread. She smiles. + +"Here, Ben," says Sara. "You can feed the ducks. They are waiting for you." + +Ben smiles back. He takes the bread. He walks to the pond. He throws the bread to the ducks. The ducks quack and eat. + +Sara and Ben are glad. They have fun at the park with Mom. They feed the ducks and watch the fish. They forget about the big duck and the fly. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big garden with many flowers and trees. One day, they found a spray bottle and some candy in the shed. They decided to have some fun with them. + +"Look, I can spray water on the flowers!" Lily said, holding the bottle. "They will grow big and pretty!" + +"That's boring!" Ben said, grabbing some candy. "I want to spray candy on the flowers! They will be sweet and yummy!" + +"No, Ben, don't do that!" Lily said, trying to stop him. "That's bad for the flowers! They will get sick and die!" + +But Ben did not listen. He sprayed candy on the flowers, laughing and eating some. The flowers turned sticky and colorful. Lily was sad and angry. She wanted to have a peaceful garden, not a messy one. + +Soon, the bees and the ants came. They smelled the candy on the flowers and wanted to eat it. They flew and crawled all over the garden, buzzing and biting. Lily and Ben were scared and ran away. But the bees and the ants followed them. They stung and bit them all over their faces and arms. Lily and Ben cried and screamed. They wished they had not sprayed candy on the flowers. They wished they had been nice and careful. But it was too late. The garden was ruined and they were hurt. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big box and some paper. They want to make a present for their mom. + +"What can we put in the box?" Ben asks. + +"Let's find something nice," Anna says. They look around the garden. They see some flowers, some rocks, some leaves and some bugs. + +"No, no, no," Anna says. "Those are not good for a present. We need something special." + +They see a pond with some fish. They run to the pond. + +"Look, Ben, fish!" Anna says. "Fish are special. Mom likes fish. Let's catch one for her." + +They take a bucket and a net. They are careful not to fall in the water. They try to catch a fish. They splash and laugh. + +"I got one, I got one!" Ben shouts. He holds up a small fish in the net. It is shiny and wet. + +"Good job, Ben!" Anna says. "Let's put it in the bucket." + +They put the fish in the bucket. They run back to the box. + +"Let's wrap the fish," Anna says. "Mom will be so happy." + +They take some paper and some tape. They wrap the fish in the paper. They put the paper in the box. They close the box. + +"Done!" Ben says. "Now we have to wait for mom." + +They hide the box behind a bush. They sit and wait. + +Soon, mom comes home. She sees Anna and Ben smiling. + +"Hello, my loves," mom says. "What are you doing?" + +"We have a present for you, mom," Anna says. "A very special present." + +They run to the bush. They bring the box to mom. + +"Wow, thank you, my loves," mom says. "What is it?" + +"Open it, mom, open it," Ben says. + +Mom opens the box. She sees the paper. She unwraps the paper. She sees the fish. The fish is not shiny and wet anymore. The fish is dry and still. + +"Oh, my loves," mom says. "This is a very special present. But you know what? Fish need water to live. They cannot breathe in the air. They cannot stay in a box. They are not happy like that." + +Anna and Ben look at the fish. They feel sad. + +"We are sorry, mom," Anna says. "We did not know. We wanted to make you happy." + +Mom hugs Anna and Ben. + +"I know, my loves, I know," mom says. "You are very sweet and kind. But next time, let's leave the fish in the pond, okay? They are happier there. And we can still watch them and enjoy them." + +Anna and Ben nod. + +"Okay, mom," Ben says. + +"Can we give you another present, mom?" Anna asks. + +"Of course, my loves," mom says. "What is it?" + +Anna and Ben give mom a big kiss and a hug. + +"That is the best present ever," mom says. "I love you, my loves." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to make up stories with their toys and pretend they were going on adventures. + +"Let's go to the park, doll," Lily said. "We can see the flowers and the birds and the swings." + +"Vroom, vroom, car," Ben said. "We can race and jump and slide." + +They got up and walked to the door, holding their toys. But they saw something on the floor that made them stop. It was a shiny chain that their mom had left there. It had many small beads of different colors. + +"Wow, look at that," Lily said. "It's so pretty and sparkly. Can we play with it?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "It looks fragile. Maybe it will break if we touch it." + +Lily reached out her hand and picked up the chain. She felt the beads in her fingers. They were smooth and cold. She smiled and said, "It's not fragile. It's strong. See, I can attach it to my doll's dress. Now she has a necklace." + +Ben looked at the chain and the doll. He thought they looked nice together. He said, "Can I attach it to my car too? Then it can be a trailer." + +Lily nodded and said, "Sure, let's share. Here, you can have this end of the chain. Now we can both play with it." + +They attached the chain to their toys and continued their game. They pretended they were going to the park with their new accessory. They were happy and had fun. They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the kitchen. She smiled and said, "What a creative and sweet pair. I'm glad they like my old necklace. Maybe I'll give it to them as a gift." +Lily and Sam were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They had big luggage that they could roll on the floor. Lily liked to roll her pink luggage and make it spin. Sam liked to roll his blue luggage and make it go fast. + +"Look, Mom, I can roll my luggage like a car!" Sam said. + +"Be careful, Sam, don't bump into anyone," Mom said. + +"Look, Dad, I can roll my luggage like a ballerina!" Lily said. + +"That's very nice, Lily, but don't roll too far away," Dad said. + +They went to a big place where they had to wait for a long time. There were many people and many luggage. Lily and Sam saw some luggage that looked different. They had stickers and pictures and colors. + +"Wow, look at that luggage, Sam! It has a lion on it!" Lily said. + +"Wow, look at that luggage, Lily! It has a rainbow on it!" Sam said. + +They wanted to roll their luggage closer to see the rare luggage. But Mom and Dad said no. + +"Stay here, Lily and Sam. Those luggage belong to other people. We have to wait for our plane," Mom said. + +"OK, Mom. But can we look at them from here?" Lily said. + +"OK, Lily. But don't touch them. They are not ours," Dad said. + +Lily and Sam nodded. They rolled their luggage back to Mom and Dad. They looked at the rare luggage and wondered where they came from and where they were going. They were excited to go on their trip and see new things. They hoped their luggage would get some stickers and pictures and colors too. +Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They have a ball and a bat. They want to play pitch and catch. Lily holds the bat and Ben throws the ball. + +"Ready, Lily?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, Ben!" Lily says. + +Ben throws the ball very hard. Lily swings the bat very fast. But she misses the ball. The ball flies over her head and lands in a bush. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. "Where is the ball?" + +"Let's go find it!" Ben says. + +They run to the bush and look for the ball. But the bush is very big and messy. There are many leaves and sticks and bugs. They cannot see the ball. + +"Where is it?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "It seems to be gone." + +They feel sad and mad. They want to play with their ball. They look and look, but they cannot find it. + +"Maybe we should ask for help," Lily says. + +"Who can help us?" Ben asks. + +They look around and see a man. He is wearing a hat and a badge. He is a park ranger. He helps people and animals in the park. + +"Excuse me, sir," Lily says. "Can you help us?" + +"What's the matter, kids?" the park ranger asks. + +"We lost our ball," Ben says. "It went into that bush and we can't find it." + +The park ranger smiles and nods. He walks to the bush and looks inside. He moves some leaves and sticks and bugs. He finds the ball and gives it to Lily and Ben. + +"Here you go, kids," he says. "Be careful when you play. Don't throw the ball too hard or too far." + +"Thank you, sir," Lily and Ben say. + +They are happy and glad. They have their ball back. They hug the park ranger and run to the field. They play pitch and catch again. They have fun in the park. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and had a long tail. The dog looked sad and hurt. Lily and Tom wanted to help the dog. + +"Hello, dog. Why are you sad?" Lily asked. The dog wagged his tail and licked Lily's hand. He had a cut on his leg. It was bleeding. "Oh, you are hurt. We can heal you. Come with us," Tom said. He took a bandage from his backpack and wrapped it around the dog's leg. The dog barked and followed them. + +Lily and Tom took the dog to their house. They gave him some water and food. They made a bed for him under the table. The dog was warm and happy. He snuggled with Lily and Tom. They petted him and told him stories. They named him Spot. + +The next day, Lily and Tom's mom came home. She saw the dog under the table. She was angry. She did not like dogs. She did not want a dog in her house. She yelled at Lily and Tom. She told them to get rid of the dog. She said the dog was dirty and dangerous. + +"But mom, he is our friend. He was sad and hurt. We healed him. He is warm and nice. Please let us keep him," Lily and Tom begged. Their mom did not listen. She grabbed the dog by the collar and dragged him outside. She threw him in the street. She slammed the door. + +Lily and Tom cried. They ran to the window. They saw the dog in the street. He was scared and confused. He looked for Lily and Tom. He did not see them. He saw a big car. The car was fast and loud. The car hit the dog. The dog yelped and fell. He did not move. He was dead. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They learned a lesson. They learned that not everyone is kind and caring. They learned that some people are mean and cruel. They learned that life is not fair. They learned that sometimes, good deeds have bad endings. +Tom and Lily liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could make towers, houses, cars and animals with their blocks. They had fun with their blocks. + +One day, they decided to play with their blocks outside. They took a big basket and filled it with their blocks. They went to the park and found a nice spot under a tree. They started to build with their blocks. They made a big castle with a bridge and a moat. They were very proud of their castle. + +But then, a big wind came. It blew very hard and made the leaves fly. It also blew their blocks. Some of their blocks fell into the moat. Some of their blocks flew away. Some of their blocks landed on the grass. Tom and Lily were sad. They had lost many of their blocks. + +They tried to find their blocks. They looked in the water, in the air, and on the ground. They found some of their blocks, but not all of them. They put the blocks they found back in the basket. They hoped that the other blocks were harmless and did not hurt anyone or anything. + +They decided to go home. They said goodbye to their castle. They carried their basket. They still liked their blocks, but they learned a lesson. They would not play with their blocks outside when it was windy. They would play with their blocks inside, where it was safe and cozy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to slide on the big slide. It is fun and fast. + +One day, they see a man in the park. He is not nice. He is a thief. He takes things from other people. He takes a bag from a lady. He takes a bike from a boy. He runs away. + +Tom and Mia are angry. They want to stop the thief. They run after him. They shout, "Stop, thief! Give back the things!" + +The thief does not stop. He is scared. He looks for a way out. He sees the big slide. He thinks, "I can slide down and escape." + +He climbs up the slide. But he is not careful. He slips and falls. He hits his head on the ground. He does not move. He is dead. + +Tom and Mia are shocked. They run to the thief. They see blood. They feel sorry. They call for help. + +A policeman comes. He sees the thief. He sees the things. He says, "This man was a thief. He stole these things. He was bad. But he did not deserve to die. He made a mistake. He was foolish. He should have been more careful." + +He looks at Tom and Mia. He says, "You two are brave. You tried to stop the thief. You did the right thing. But you should also be careful. Sliding is fun, but it can be dangerous. You should always slide safely. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Mia nod. They say, "Yes, sir. We understand. We will slide safely. We will not be like the thief." + +The policeman smiles. He says, "Good. Now, let's find the owners of these things. They will be happy to get them back." + +The moral of the story is: Sliding is fun, but be careful. Do not steal, or you will get in trouble. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they have a test at school. The test is about colors and shapes. + +Sara is good at colors and shapes. She knows red, blue, yellow, green, and more. She knows circle, square, triangle, and more. She is happy to do the test. + +Ben is not good at colors and shapes. He mixes up red and green. He does not know triangle and square. He is sad to do the test. + +The teacher gives them the test. Sara finishes fast. She gets all the answers right. She smiles. + +Ben finishes slow. He gets many answers wrong. He frowns. + +The teacher tells them their scores. Sara gets a star. Ben gets a sad face. + +Sara says to Ben, "I am sorry you did not do well. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben says to Sara, "No, thank you. You are too smart. The test was not fair. I do not want to be your friend." + +Sara feels hurt. She does not understand why Ben is angry. She says to Ben, "The test was fair. We all had the same questions. You can learn colors and shapes. I can help you. Please do not be mad at me." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He realizes that Sara is right. The test was fair. He was not ready. He needs to practice more. He says to Sara, "I am sorry I was rude. You are a good friend. You can help me learn colors and shapes. Can we play now?" + +Sara smiles. She says to Ben, "Yes, we can play now. Let's play with blocks and cars. We can make a rainbow and a castle." + +They hug and play. They are friends again. +Lila was a little girl who loved to play outside. She liked to run, jump, swing and slide. She also liked to watch the birds and the bugs. She wanted to fly like them, but she did not have wings. + +One day, she saw a big kite in the sky. It was red and yellow and had a long tail. It looked like a bird, but it was not. It was a toy that someone was holding with a string. Lila wanted to play with the kite. She ran to the person who had the kite and asked, "Can I try your kite, please?" + +The person was a boy who was older than Lila. He smiled and said, "Sure, you can try my kite. But you have to be careful. It is not easy to fly a kite. You have to hold the string tight and watch the wind. Do you know how to do that?" + +Lila nodded, but she was nervous. She had never flown a kite before. She took the string from the boy and held it in her hands. She felt the kite tug and pull. She looked up and saw the kite high in the air. It was beautiful, but it was also scary. + +The wind was strong and the kite moved fast. Lila tried to follow the kite with her eyes, but she lost her balance. She fell down and let go of the string. The kite flew away and Lila started to cry. + +The boy ran to Lila and helped her up. He said, "Don't cry, Lila. It's okay. It was not your fault. The wind was too strong for you. You did your best. Maybe next time you can fly a kite with me again." + +Lila sniffed and wiped her tears. She said, "Thank you, boy. You are nice. I'm sorry I lost your kite. I hope you can find it." + +The boy hugged Lila and said, "Don't worry, Lila. I can find my kite. It has a long tail that I can see. And if I can't, I can make another one. Kites are fun, but they are not as important as friends. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Lila smiled and said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. What is your name?" + +The boy said, "My name is Sam. What is yours?" + +Lila said, "My name is Lila. Nice to meet you, Sam." + +Sam and Lila held hands and walked to the park. They decided to play on the swings and the slide. They had fun and forgot about the kite. They were happy to have a new friend. They did not need to fly to feel free. They just needed to rest and laugh. +Lily likes to play with her uncle Tom. He is very funny and loud. He makes her laugh with his jokes and faces. He also lets her do many things, like ride his bike, paint his nails, and eat ice cream. + +One day, Lily and uncle Tom go to the park. They see a big slide and a swing. Lily wants to try them both. Uncle Tom says, "OK, let's go. But be careful, Lily. Do not go too fast or too high." + +Lily nods and runs to the slide. She climbs up the ladder and sits on the top. She looks down and feels scared. The slide is very long and steep. She calls out, "Uncle Tom, I do not want to slide. It is too scary." + +Uncle Tom hears her and comes to the slide. He smiles and says, "Do not worry, Lily. I am here. You can slide with me. I will hold your hand and we will go together. It will be fun, I promise." + +Lily trusts her uncle and takes his hand. They slide down together, slowly at first, then faster and faster. Lily feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She screams with joy and excitement. Uncle Tom screams with her, louder and louder. They reach the bottom and hug each other. Lily says, "Thank you, uncle Tom. That was awesome. Can we do it again?" Uncle Tom says, "Of course, Lily. Anything for you. You are very brave and smart. I love you, Lily." Lily says, "I love you too, uncle Tom. You are the best uncle ever." +Jill and Tom were at the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look at the water. Sometimes they saw fish and birds and boats. Jill and Tom wanted to see a whale. They heard that whales were big and pretty and made loud sounds. + +One day, they saw a big boat with a net. The boat was far from the shore, but they could hear a noise. It was a whale. The whale was caught in the net and could not swim. The whale was sad and scared. Jill and Tom felt sorry for the whale. They wanted to help the whale. + +They had an idea. They found a big stick and a rope. They tied the rope to the stick and ran to the water. They wanted to throw the stick to the net and pull it off the whale. They thought they were brave and smart. They did not listen to Mom and Dad, who told them to stay away from the water. They urged each other to go faster and deeper. + +But the water was cold and strong. The waves were high and fast. The stick and the rope were heavy and hard. Jill and Tom could not throw them far enough. They could not reach the net or the whale. They could not swim back to the shore. They were tired and scared. They cried for Mom and Dad, but they could not hear them. They could only hear the whale, who was still sad and scared. + +The boat did not see Jill and Tom. The boat did not care about the whale. The boat pulled the net and the whale away from the water. Jill and Tom were pulled with them. They could not breathe. They could not live. They were gone. Mom and Dad were sad and scared. They could not help Jill and Tom. They could not see the whale. They could only see the boat, who was bad and mean. The end. +Lila was sad. She had a big ouch on her knee. Mommy put a band on it. The band was pink and had stars. It was a fancy band. Lila liked it. + +But at school, some kids were mean. They laughed at Lila's band. They said it was silly and babyish. Lila felt bad. She wanted to remove the band. But Mommy said it was good for her ouch. + +At recess, Lila met Sam. Sam was new. He had a band on his elbow. His band was blue and had cars. It was a fancy band too. Sam saw Lila's band and smiled. + +"Hi, I'm Sam. I like your band. It's pretty. Can I see it?" he asked. + +"Hi, I'm Lila. Thank you. I like your band too. It's cool. Sure, you can see it." Lila said. + +They showed each other their bands. They talked about their ouches and how they got them. They found out they liked the same games and books. They became friends. + +Lila was happy. She did not want to remove her band anymore. She was proud of it. She did not care what the mean kids said. She had a fancy band and a nice friend. She smiled. +Ben loves to ride his bike. He has a red cap that he wears every time he goes out. His cap makes him feel brave and fast. He likes to ride around the park and say hello to the birds and the flowers. + +One day, he sees a big dog in the park. The dog is black and white and has a collar. Ben thinks the dog is friendly and wants to play. He rides his bike closer to the dog and says, "Hi, dog! Do you want to be my friend?" + +The dog barks and runs towards Ben. Ben gets scared and tries to ride away. But the dog is faster and catches up with him. The dog jumps and bites Ben's cap. Ben cries out and falls off his bike. His cap is torn and dirty. + +A lady comes running and grabs the dog. She says, "I'm so sorry, he's usually very loyal and gentle. He must have thought your cap was a toy. Are you okay?" She checks Ben for any injuries and gives him a hug. + +Ben is shaken but not hurt. He looks at his cap and feels sad. He says, "My cap is ruined. It was my favorite cap. It made me brave and fast." + +The lady says, "I'm sorry, I'll buy you a new cap. But you know, you don't need a cap to be brave and fast. You have that inside you. You are a brave and fast boy. And you are also kind and friendly. You wanted to make friends with my dog. That's very nice of you." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice too. And your dog is loyal and gentle. He just made a mistake. Can I still be his friend?" + +The lady says, "Of course, you can. His name is Spot. He likes to play fetch and cuddle. Do you want to try?" + +Ben says, "Yes, please." He gets up and picks up his bike. He rides with the lady and Spot to a field. He throws a stick and Spot fetches it. They play and laugh and have fun. Ben forgets about his cap. He makes a new friend. + +The moral of the story is: You don't need things to be brave and fast. You have that inside you. And you can make friends with anyone if you are kind and friendly. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to look up at the sky and watch the clouds go by. One day, she saw a big, fluffy cloud that looked like a bunny. "Look, Mommy!" she said. "That cloud looks like a bunny!" + +Her mommy smiled and said, "Yes, it does. Do you know what else matches with bunnies?" + +"What?" asked Lily. + +"Carrots!" said her mommy. "Let's go to the store and get some carrots for dinner tonight." + +At the store, Lily saw a toy she really wanted. "Mommy, can I have that toy?" she asked. + +"It's very expensive," said her mommy. "Let's wait until your birthday to get it." + +Lily was sad, but then she saw a little girl who didn't have any toys at all. She gave the girl a big hug and said, "Here, you can have my bunny toy.
