+
+Her mom said:
+

+Lily and Max were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Max was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big tree. She thought Max might be hiding behind it. She ran to the tree and shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!"
+
+Max heard Lily's voice and felt nervous. He was hiding under a slide, not behind the tree. He hoped Lily would not find him. He stayed very still and quiet. He did not want to lose the game.
+
+Lily reached the tree and looked behind it. She did not see Max. She was confused. She looked at the other trees, the swings, the bench, and the sandbox. She did not see Max anywhere. She wondered where he was. She called out, "Max, where are you? I can't find you!"

+Lily heard a faint voice and turned her head. She saw the slide and noticed a pair of shoes sticking out from under it. She recognized Max's shoes. She realized he was hiding under the slide. She felt happy and clever. She ran to the slide and shouted, "I found you, I found you!"
+
+Max heard Lily's shout and felt surprised. He did not think she would find him so fast. He crawled out from under the slide and saw Lily's smiling face. He felt a little sad and silly. He said, "How did you find me?"
+
+Lily said, "I heard your voice. You whispered, 'You can't find me, you can't find me!' That was a big mistake. You gave yourself away. You should have stayed silent. That is the truth."
+
+Max said, "Oh, you are right. I was too noisy. I should have stayed silent. That was a bad mistake. You are very smart. You win the game."
+
+Lily said, "Thank you. You are very fun. You hide very well. Do you want to play again?"

+
+Anna says, "Yes, but we need to share. I will get two cups." She goes to the shelf and picks up two cups. But one cup has a crack. She does not see it. She brings the cups to the pot.

+
+Lily did not like that. She liked her house and her friends and her cartoons. She did not want to go to a new place. She felt a big lump in her throat and tears in her eyes.
+
+"But I don't want to move!" Lily cried. "I want to stay here and watch cartoons!"
+
+Her dad hugged her and said, "I know, Lily, I know. We don't want to move either. But we have to. It's because of the virus. The virus is a bad thing that makes people sick. It has spread all over the world and made many people lose their jobs. We lost our jobs, Lily. We can't pay for this house anymore. We have to go to a cheaper house where we can find new jobs."
+
+Lily did not understand what the virus was or why it made people lose their jobs. She only understood that it made her and her parents sad and that it took away her cartoons. She wished the virus would go away and leave them alone. She wished they could stay in their house and watch cartoons. She wished everything would be normal again.

+
+"Ben, what are you doing?" Anna asked. She saw the bump in her bag. She opened it and saw the squash. She was surprised and angry. "Why did you put a squash in my bag? It is not a toy. It is food. Take it out!"
+
+Ben laughed. He thought it was funny. He took the squash out of Anna's bag. He said, "I was just joking, Anna. I wanted to see your face. You do not need a squash in your bag. You need a hug."
+
+He hugged Anna and said, "I love you, sis. Let's go to grandma's. Maybe she will make us some squash soup."

+
+The bird looked at mom and Lily. It looked at Anna. It saw Lily's tears. It felt guilty. It did not mean to make Lily sad. It just liked Anna's hair and dress. It flew to the window and dropped Anna on the sill. Then it flew away.

+
+They went closer to the flower and smelled it. It had a strong smell that made them sneeze.
+
+"Achoo!" Lily and Ben sneezed together. "This flower is spicy!"
+
+They laughed and rubbed their noses. They decided to pick the flower and give it to their teacher, who liked flowers very much. They looked for something to cut the stem, but they could not find anything. Then, Ben had an idea.
+
+"I have a penny in my pocket," he said. "Maybe we can use it to cut the flower."
+
+He took out the penny and tried to cut the stem with it. It was hard, but he managed to make a small cut. Then, he gave the penny to Lily and asked her to help.
+
+"Here, you try," he said. "Be careful, don't hurt yourself."
+
+Lily took the penny and tried to cut the stem too. She pushed and pulled, but the stem was still too thick. She was about to give up, when she heard a voice.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" the voice said. "Stop that, you are hurting me!"
+
+Lily and Ben looked up and saw the flower talking to them. They were very surprised and scared. They dropped the penny and ran away.
+
+"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" they said. "We didn't know you could talk!"
+
+The flower sighed and shook its head. It was glad that they stopped, but it was also sad that they wanted to cut it.
+
+"Why did you want to cut me?" the flower asked. "Don't you know that I need to stay in the ground to bloom and grow?"
+
+Lily and Ben stopped and turned around. They felt sorry for the flower and wanted to say sorry again.
+
+"We are sorry, flower," Lily said. "We wanted to give you to our teacher, because you are so pretty and spicy."
+
+"Yeah, we thought you were a rose," Ben said. "But you are not a rose, are you? What are you?"
+
+The flower smiled and said, "I am not a rose, I am a poppy. A poppy is a flower that grows in the summer and has many seeds. Some people use the seeds to make bread or cake. But I don't like to be cut or eaten, I like to bloom and make the garden beautiful."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We understand, poppy. You are a very special flower. Can we be your friends?"
+
+The poppy said, "Of course, you can be my friends. But please, don't try to cut me again. Just come and visit me and talk to me. I like to talk to nice children like you."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Okay, poppy. We will come and visit you and talk to you. And we will tell our teacher about you too. Maybe she can come and see you too."
+
+The poppy said, "That would be nice. Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are very kind. Now, go and have fun. I will see you soon."
+
+Lily and Ben waved goodbye to the poppy and ran back to their other friends. They told them about the poppy and how it could talk. They were very happy and curious.

+Her mom smiles and kisses her. She says "Oh, Anna, this is the most beautiful picture I have ever seen. Thank you so much for lending me your crayons and paper. You are such a good helper.

+
+They look at each other. They have an idea.
+
+They trade toys again. Mia gives the doll to Ben and Ben gives the car to Mia.
+
+Then they give the toys to the balloon man.
+
+"Here you go. Can we have a balloon now?" Mia and Ben say.
+
+The balloon man smiles. He gives them a big red balloon.
+
+"Thank you!" Mia and Ben say.
+
+They hold the balloon together. They are happy.
+
+They have made a good trade.
+Lila and Tom were bored. They had no toys to play with and no books to read. They looked out the window and saw rain. Rain, rain, rain. It was pouring and they could not go outside.
+
+"Let's make something fun," Lila said to Tom. "We can use the things in the kitchen."
+
+Tom nodded. He liked to make things. They went to the kitchen and found some cups, spoons, bowls and bottles. They also found some flour, sugar, salt, water and juice.
+
+They poured some water and juice into a big bowl and stirred it with a spoon. They added some flour and sugar and made a sticky dough. They poured some salt into a cup and mixed it with water. They called it spirit. It was their magic potion.
+
+They took the dough and the spirit and went to the living room. They made shapes with the dough and put them on the floor. They pretended they were animals and people. They gave them names and voices. They poured some spirit on them and said spells. They made up stories and adventures.
+
+They had so much fun that they forgot about the rain. They used their imagination and their spirit. They were not bored anymore. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily love to sail on the lake with their dad. They have a modern boat that is fast and shiny. They wear life jackets and hats to be safe and cool.
+
+One day, they see some big waves on the lake. They are not scared, they are excited. They want to surf on the waves with their boat. They ask their dad if they can try.
+
+"Sure, we can surf a little bit, but be careful. Hold on tight and listen to me," their dad says. He steers the boat towards the waves and smiles.
+
+Ben and Lily feel the boat go up and down on the waves. They feel the wind and the spray on their faces. They laugh and shout, "We are surfing, we are surfing!"
+
+Their dad is happy to see them have fun. He says, "You are doing great, kids. You are brave and smart. I'm proud of you."
+
+They sail and surf for a while, then they go back to the shore. They thank their dad for the adventure. They hug and say, "We love you, dad. We love to sail and surf with you."
+Anna and Ben are playing catch in the garden. They have a big red ball and they throw it to each other. They laugh and have fun.
+
+"Anna, Ben, come inside! It's time for lunch!" Mom calls from the kitchen. Anna and Ben run to the door and put the ball away.
+
+Mom has made pizza for lunch. She takes it out of the oven and puts it on the table. It smells good and looks yummy.
+
+"Wow, Mom, this pizza looks interesting!" Ben says. He sees cheese, tomato, ham and pineapple on the pizza.
+
+"Do you like pineapple on your pizza, Ben?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, I do, Mom. It's sweet and juicy. Can I have a slice?" Ben says.
+
+"Of course, you can, Ben. But be careful, it's hot. You don't want to burn your mouth." Mom says.
+
+She cuts the pizza and gives Ben and Anna a slice each. They blow on it and take a bite.
+
+"Mmm, this pizza is delicious, Mom. Thank you!" Anna says.
+
+"You're welcome, Anna. I'm glad you like it." Mom says.
+
+They eat their pizza and drink some juice. They are happy and full. Mom smiles and hugs them. She loves her children.
+Sara likes to draw with her crayons. She has many colors and makes pictures of animals, flowers and stars. She draws on paper, but sometimes she also draws on the wall. Her parent does not like that. Her parent says, "Sara, you have to draw only on paper. The wall is not for drawing. You make it dirty and we have to clean it."
+
+One day, Sara wants to make a big picture for her parent. She takes all her crayons and starts to draw on the wall in the living room. She draws a big heart and writes "I love you" inside. She draws a smiley face and a rainbow. She is very happy with her picture. She thinks her parent will be happy too.
+
+She runs to find her parent and says, "Come, come, I have a surprise for you!" She pulls her parent by the hand and takes them to the living room. She points to the wall and says, "Look, I made this for you. Do you like it?"
+
+Her parent looks at the wall and sees the picture. Her parent is not happy. Her parent is angry. Her parent says, "Sara, what did you do? You know you are not supposed to draw on the wall. You made it very dirty. You did not complete your drawing. You made a mess. You have to help me clean it right now."
+
+Sara feels sad. She did not want to make her parent angry. She wanted to make them happy. She says, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to show you how much I love you. I thought you would like my picture. I did complete it. See, it has a heart and a rainbow and a smiley face."
+
+Her parent sighs and hugs Sara. Her parent says, "I love you too, Sara, but you have to follow the rules. Drawing on the wall is not okay. It is hard to clean and it can damage the wall. I appreciate your picture, but next time, please draw on paper. Paper is for drawing. Wall is not for drawing. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara nods and says, "I understand. I'm sorry. I will help you clean the wall. Can I keep my picture on paper?"
+
+Her parent smiles and says, "Yes, you can keep your picture on paper. And maybe we can hang it on the wall with tape. But only with tape. No more crayons on the wall, okay?"
+
+Sara says, "Okay. Thank you. I love you."
+
+Her parent says, "I love you too."
+Lily and Ben were going to visit their grandma, who lived in a big house with a big garden. They liked to play with the flowers, the birds and the cat, but they were afraid of the dog. The dog was very big and loud, and he always barked at them when they came. He was the guard of the house, and he did not like strangers.
+
+"Hello, grandma!" Lily and Ben said, as they hugged her at the door. "We are happy to see you!"
+
+"Hello, my dears!" grandma said. "I am happy to see you too! Come in, come in, make yourselves comfortable. I have some cookies and milk for you."
+
+They followed grandma into the living room, but they saw the dog lying on the couch. He looked at them with his big eyes and growled.
+
+"Grandma, the dog is scary!" Lily whispered.
+
+"Don't worry, he won't hurt you," grandma said. "He is just doing his job. He is a good guard, but he is also a good friend. He just needs to get to know you better. Why don't you say hello to him?"
+
+Lily and Ben were not sure, but they wanted to be brave. They walked slowly to the couch and said in a small voice, "Hello, dog. We are Lily and Ben. We are grandma's grandchildren. We are not bad, we are good. Can we be your friends?"
+
+The dog looked at them for a moment, then he wagged his tail and licked their hands. He made a happy sound and moved over to make some space for them on the couch.
+
+"See, he likes you!" grandma said. "He is welcoming you to his home. He is a very nice dog, once you get to know him. Why don't you give him a name?"
+
+Lily and Ben thought for a while, then they said together, "We will call him Spot, because he has a big black spot on his back."
+
+"Spot, that's a good name!" grandma said. "I think he likes it too. Look, he is smiling!"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled too, and they cuddled with Spot on the couch. They felt very comfortable and happy. They had a new friend, and they were not afraid of the dog anymore.
+A child and a dog are friends. The child likes to play with the dog. The dog likes to run and jump. The child likes to run and jump too. They are both strong and fast.
+
+One day, the child and the dog see a big hill. The child wants to climb the hill. The dog wants to climb the hill too. The child says to the dog, "Do you want to go up the hill?" The dog nods. The child nods back. They are happy.
+
+They start to climb the hill. It is hard. The hill is steep and rocky. The child and the dog help each other. The child holds the dog's collar. The dog pulls the child up. They are brave and smart.
+
+They reach the top of the hill. They see a beautiful view. They see the sun and the sky and the trees and the flowers. They see a lake and a bridge and a house. They see birds and squirrels and rabbits. They are amazed and excited.
+
+They sit on the hill and enjoy the view. The child says to the dog, "You are a good friend. I love you." The dog licks the child's face. The child hugs the dog. They are happy and warm. They nod to each other. They are the best friends.
+Mia and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, Mom gives them a smooth banana to eat. Mia likes bananas, but Ben does not.
+
+"Banana is yummy, Ben. You eat it too," Mia says.
+
+"No, I don't like banana. It is icky," Ben says.
+
+"Please, Ben. Mom says we need to eat fruit. It is good for us," Mia says.
+
+"No, no, no. I want a cookie," Ben says.
+
+Mia is sad. She wants to share with her brother. She has an idea. She breaks the banana in half and makes a smiley face with it. She puts two pieces for the eyes, one for the nose, and four for the mouth.
+
+"Look, Ben. It is a banana face. It is funny and happy. You eat the eyes, I eat the nose, and we both eat the mouth," Mia says.
+
+Ben looks at the banana face. He thinks it is funny and happy too. He smiles and takes a bite of the eye. He is surprised. It is not icky. It is smooth and sweet.
+
+"Mmm, banana is yummy, Mia. You are right. Thank you for sharing with me," Ben says.
+
+Mia is happy. She hugs her brother and takes a bite of the nose. They both eat the mouth and laugh. Mom is proud of them. She gives them a cookie to share. They eat the cookie and say thank you. They love each other and their mom. They are a happy family.
+Mia and Sam were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big furry hat in their mom's closet. It was brown and soft and had two long ears.
+
+"Let's be rabbits!" Mia said. "We can hop and nibble carrots and hide in our burrow."
+
+"OK!" Sam agreed. "But we need something to make us smell like rabbits too."
+
+They looked around the closet and saw a bottle of perfume. It had a picture of a flower on it. Mia sprayed some on the hat and on herself and Sam.
+
+"Now we smell like rabbits!" she said. "Come on, let's go to the garden."
+
+They put on the hat and ran to the backyard. They hopped around the grass and the flowers, pretending to be rabbits. They saw a real rabbit near the fence. It was white and fluffy and had a pink nose.
+
+"Hello, rabbit!" Mia said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The rabbit looked at them and sniffed. It smelled the perfume and the hat. It did not believe that they were rabbits. It thought they were silly children. It twitched its nose and ran away.
+
+"Wait, rabbit!" Sam called. "We are rabbits too! See, we have ears and fur and we hop!"
+
+But the rabbit did not stop. It disappeared behind the fence.
+
+Mia and Sam were sad. They wanted to make a new friend. They took off the hat and went back to the closet.
+
+"Maybe we should try a different animal next time," Mia said.
+
+"Maybe," Sam said. "But I still like being a rabbit. It was fun."
+
+They hugged each other and smiled. They still had each other to play with. And they still had their big furry hat.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the dark. Lily had a flashlight and Ben had to find her. She ran to the closet and hid behind some coats. She turned off the flashlight and waited.
+
+Ben looked around the room. He could not see Lily. He called her name, but she did not answer. He walked to the closet and opened the door. He saw a pale face in the dark. He screamed.
+
+Lily turned on the flashlight and laughed. "It's me, Ben! I scared you!" she said.
+
+Ben was not happy. He felt silly and angry. "That's not fair, Lily! You cheated! You used the flashlight!" he said.
+
+Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to make Ben sad. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was just having fun. Do you want to play again?"
+
+Ben nodded. He liked playing with Lily. He took the flashlight and said, "OK, Lily. Now it's your turn to find me. But no more tricks, OK?"
+
+Lily agreed. She closed her eyes and counted to ten. Ben ran to find a new hiding spot. They played hide and seek in the dark until their mom called them for dinner.
+Lily was restless. She did not want to sit still and listen to the big book. She wanted to dance and play and have fun. She looked at her thumb. It was boring. She looked at the teacher. She was talking and talking. She looked at the door. It was open.
+
+Lily had an idea. She got up from her mat and ran to the door. She did not care if the teacher saw her. She wanted to go outside and dance. She ran to the playground and saw the swings and the slide and the sandbox. She smiled. She felt happy.
+
+She ran to the swings and pushed one with her foot. It went back and forth. She jumped on it and swung high and low. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughed. She sang a song. She swung faster and faster.
+
+"Hey, Lily, what are you doing?" It was Ben, her friend. He came out of the door and ran to her. He liked to play with Lily. He liked to dance and sing and have fun too.
+
+"I'm swinging, Ben. It's fun. Do you want to swing with me?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. But we have to be careful. The teacher will be mad if she finds us. We are supposed to be inside and listen to the big book." Ben said.
+
+"I don't care. The big book is boring. I want to dance and play and have fun. Come on, Ben. Let's swing and dance and sing and have fun." Lily said.
+
+"Okay, Lily. But only for a little bit. Then we have to go back. Or we will be in trouble." Ben said.
+
+Lily and Ben swung and danced and sang and had fun. They did not see the teacher coming out of the door. They did not hear her calling their names. They did not notice her angry face. They were too busy having fun.
+Sara was a shy girl who liked to lie on the grass and look at the sky. She liked to see the clouds and the birds and the sun. She liked to feel the wind on her face and in her hair.
+
+One day, she saw a boy who was also lying on the grass near her. He had a big hat and a red ball. He looked at Sara and smiled. He said, "Hi, I'm Tom. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Sara felt nervous and did not know what to say. She liked to play, but she was shy. She looked at the boy and then at the ball. She said, "I don't know. What do you want to play?"
+
+Tom said, "We can play catch with the ball. Or we can make shapes with the clouds. Or we can roll on the grass. What do you like to do?"
+
+Sara thought for a moment. She liked to do all those things, but she was shy. She said, "I like to lie on the grass and look at the sky. I like to see the clouds and the birds and the sun. I like to feel the wind on my face and in my hair."
+
+Tom said, "Me too! That sounds fun. Can I lie next to you and look at the sky with you?"
+
+Sara nodded and smiled. She moved a little to make room for Tom. They lay on the grass and looked at the sky together. They saw a cloud that looked like a dog and a bird that looked like a plane and a sun that looked like a smile. They felt the wind on their faces and in their hair. They were happy and not shy. They became friends.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. But their room is very small. There is not much space for all their toys. They have cars, trains, blocks, books, and more.
+
+One day, Mom says, "Boys, I have a surprise for you. Come with me." She takes them to the basement. There is a big room there. It is empty and clean. Mom says, "This is your new playroom. You can move your toys here and have more space to play."
+
+Tom and Sam are very happy. They hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." They run to their room and start to pack their toys in boxes. They carry the boxes to the basement. They put their toys in different places. They have space for everything.
+
+They play in their new playroom every day. They have fun and make noise. They also eat snacks and drink juice. They do not go outside much. They do not run or jump. They just sit and play.
+
+After a while, Tom and Sam notice something. Their clothes are tight. Their bellies are big. They are chubby. They do not feel good. They are tired and slow.
+
+One day, Mom comes to the basement. She sees them playing. She says, "Boys, you have gained a lot of weight. You need to exercise and eat healthy. You need to go outside and play with your friends. You need to take care of your bodies."
+
+Tom and Sam look at each other. They know Mom is right. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We will do that. We want to be strong and fit." They pack some of their toys and give them to their friends. They keep some of their toys in the basement. They go outside and play with their friends. They run and jump. They eat fruits and vegetables. They drink water. They lose weight. They feel good.

+Lily wanted to mail a letter to her big sister. Her big sister was at university, where she learned many things and did hard work. Lily missed her a lot and wanted to tell her how she was doing.
+
+She asked her mom to help her write the letter. She told her mom what she wanted to say. She said she loved her sister, she was proud of her, and she wanted to see her soon. She also drew a picture of her sister with a big smile and a cap and gown. She hoped her sister would like it.
+
+Her mom helped her put the letter in an envelope and write the address. Then they went to the mailbox together. Lily held the letter in her hand and looked at it. She felt happy and nervous at the same time.
+
+"Are you ready to mail your letter, Lily?" her mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom. But can I ask you something?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. What is it?" her mom said.
+
+"What is competitive?" Lily asked. She had heard her sister say that word before, but she did not know what it meant.
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She explained that competitive meant that some people wanted to be the best at something, and sometimes they tried very hard or did not play nice with others. She said that university was a place where some people were competitive, but not all of them. She said that her sister was not competitive, but she was smart and kind and worked hard.
+
+Lily nodded and understood a little bit. She said she wanted to be like her sister when she grew up. She did not want to be competitive, but she wanted to learn many things and do hard work.
+
+Her mom kissed her and said she was proud of her too. Then they put the letter in the mailbox and waved goodbye to it. They hoped it would reach her sister soon and make her happy.

+
+One day, they travel to a big city. They see tall buildings, busy streets, and many people. They are curious about everything. They want to learn and explore.
+
+Mom and dad take them to a big park. There are many trees, flowers, and animals. Tom and Mia see a big pond with ducks and swans. They want to feed them bread. Mom and dad give them some bread and they go to the pond.
+
+Tom and Mia stand by the pond and throw bread to the ducks and swans. The ducks and swans come closer and eat the bread. They make funny noises. Tom and Mia laugh and clap their hands.
+
+"Look, mom, look, dad, they are so cute!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, they are, honey. Do you like them?" Mom says.
+

+
+"Okay, dad. But can we stay a little longer?" Mia says.
+
+"Sure, we can. But don't go too close to the water, okay? It can be dangerous." Dad says.
+
+"Okay, dad. We will be careful." Tom and Mia say.
+
+They stay by the pond and watch the ducks and swans. They are happy and curious. They love to travel.
+Lily wanted to tie her shoes by herself. She had seen Mommy and Daddy do it many times. She took the long strings and crossed them over. Then she made a loop with one string and tried to pull the other string through. But it was hard. The strings got tangled and twisted. Lily felt upset. She wanted to go outside and play with her friends.
+
+"Mommy, help me!" she cried. "I can't tie my shoes!"
+
+Mommy came over and smiled. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. Tying shoes is not easy. You are doing a good job. Let me show you again."
+
+Mommy untangled the strings and showed Lily how to make a bunny ear with each string. Then she showed her how to cross the bunny ears and tuck one under the other. She pulled the strings tight and made a bow.
+
+"See? You made a knot. That's how you tie your shoes. Do you want to try again?" Mommy asked.
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted to learn. She followed Mommy's steps and made her own knot. She was proud of herself.
+
+"Look, Mommy! I did it! I tied my shoes!" she exclaimed.
+
+Mommy clapped and cheered. She said, "You did it, Lily! You are so smart and brave. I'm so proud of you. You know what? Tying shoes is a very important skill. It has a lot of value. It means you can keep your feet safe and warm. And you can run and jump and have fun. You are growing up so fast, my little girl."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Mommy. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you. Can we go outside and play now?"
+
+Mommy said, "Of course, we can. Let's go and have some fun. But first, let me tie my shoes too."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the pool. The pool is big and blue and has toys. Lily and Ben splash and swim and have fun.
+
+One day, a new girl comes to the pool. Her name is Mia. She has a pretty dress and a pretty hat. She does not want to play in the water. She sits on a chair and reads a book.
+
+Lily and Ben want to talk to Mia. They swim to the edge of the pool and say hello. Mia does not look at them. She says, "Go away. You are wet and noisy. I do not like you."
+
+Lily and Ben feel sad. They do not understand why Mia is mean. They swim away and play with their toys.
+
+Mia sees them and thinks they are silly. She decides to tease them. She gets up from her chair and walks to the pool. She picks up a toy boat and throws it out of the pool. She laughs and says, "Ha ha, your boat is gone. You are dumb and boring. I do not want to play with you."
+
+Lily and Ben are angry. They do not like Mia. They think she is rude and nasty. They want to get their boat back. They swim to the other side of the pool and look for the boat.
+
+Mia follows them and tries to tease them more. She picks up another toy and throws it out of the pool. She laughs and says, "Ha ha, your ball is gone. You are slow and stupid. I do not want to play with you."
+
+Lily and Ben are very angry. They do not want to listen to Mia. They have an idea. They splash water at Mia. They splash and splash and splash. Mia gets wet and cold. She does not like it. She screams and cries. She runs to her chair and grabs her book. She says, "Stop it! Stop it! You are mean and bad. I do not want to play with you."
+
+Lily and Ben stop splashing. They smile and high-five. They get their toys back and swim to the middle of the pool. They say, "We do not want to play with you either. You are not nice and not fun. You need to learn how to share and be kind."
+
+Mia sits on her chair and pouts. She does not have any friends. She does not have any fun. She wishes she had not teased Lily and Ben. She wishes she had played with them in the pool.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big ladder leaning on the wall. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the roof.
+
+"Let's go up the ladder!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful," Lily said.
+
+They took turns to go up the ladder, one by one. They held on tight and looked around. They saw birds, trees, and clouds. They felt happy and excited.
+
+But then, Tom felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to hold it in, but he could not. He sneezed very loud and hard.
+
+"Achoo!"
+
+The ladder shook and wobbled. Tom and Lily were scared. They almost fell off.
+
+"Help!" they cried.
+
+Mum and Dad heard them and ran to the garden. They saw Tom and Lily on the ladder. They were angry and worried.
+
+"Get down from there right now!" Mum shouted.
+
+"What were you thinking?" Dad asked.
+
+Tom and Lily climbed down the ladder, very slowly and carefully. They said sorry to Mum and Dad. They knew they had been naughty and silly.
+
+Mum and Dad hugged them and checked if they were hurt. They were not, but Tom still had a runny nose.
+
+"Next time, don't play with the ladder. It's dangerous," Mum said.
+
+"And don't sneeze on the ladder. It's noisy," Dad said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and promised. They learned their lesson. They went inside and had some juice and cookies. They decided to play with their toys instead. They did not want to sneeze on the ladder again.
+One day, Lily and Max went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. Lily was brave and climbed up the ladder. Max was scared and stayed at the bottom.
+
+"Come on, Max, it's fun!" Lily shouted from the top.
+
+"I don't want to, it's too high!" Max said.
+
+Lily slid down and ran to Max. She saw that he was wearing sunglasses. She took them off and looked at his eyes.
+
+"Why are you wearing sunglasses, Max?" she asked.
+
+"Because the sun is bright and it hurts my eyes," Max said.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Max. She had an idea. She lifted Max up and put him on her back.
+
+"Don't worry, Max, I'll help you. You can hold on to me and close your eyes. I'll take you to the slide," she said.
+
+Max hugged Lily and nodded. He was glad that Lily was kind and strong. They walked to the ladder and climbed up together. Lily put Max on the slide and pushed him gently.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" she said.
+
+Max felt the wind in his hair and the slide under him. He opened his eyes and saw the grass and the flowers. He smiled and laughed.
+
+"That was fun, Lily, thank you!" he said.
+
+Lily slid down and joined Max. They hugged and put on their sunglasses.
+
+"You're welcome, Max, you're my best friend," she said.
+
+They played on the slide again and again, until their mom called them for lunch. They ran to her and told her about their adventure. She smiled and praised them for being brave and kind. They ate their sandwiches and drank their juice, and then went back to the park for more fun.
+Tom loves football. He plays with his friends every day at the park. He can kick the ball very far and fast. He wants to be a successful football player when he grows up.
+
+One day, his mom tells him that they have to move to a new house. Tom is sad. He does not want to leave his friends and his park. He asks his mom, "Why do we have to move, mom? Can we not stay here?"
+
+His mom hugs him and says, "I know you love it here, Tom, but we have to move because dad got a new job. He will work at a big hospital and help many people. He is a successful doctor, Tom. He is very smart and kind."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He loves his dad and he is proud of him. He knows that his dad helps many people who are sick or hurt. He says, "Okay, mom, I understand. I will miss my friends and my park, but I will make new friends and find a new park. Maybe I can play football there too."
+
+His mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can, Tom. You are a brave and good boy. I am sure you will be happy in our new house. And you can still play football with your friends when we visit them. You are a successful football player, Tom. You are very strong and fast."
+Lila wanted to play with the red ball. It was her favorite toy. She saw it on the shelf in the living room. But Mom said no. She said the ball was too hot. She said it was near the fire. She said Lila could get hurt.
+
+"Why, Mom? Why is the ball hot?" Lila asked. She was sad and angry. She did not understand.
+
+"Because, Lila, the fire makes things hot. Hot things can burn you. They can make you cry. They can make you sick. You have to be careful with fire. You have to stay away from it. Do you understand?" Mom said. She was gentle and firm. She wanted Lila to be safe.
+
+Lila nodded. She understood. She did not want to be burned. She did not want to cry. She did not want to be sick. She was fearful of the fire. She looked at the ball. She still wanted it. But she knew Mom was right. She knew Mom loved her.
+
+"Can I play with the ball later, Mom? When it is not hot?" Lila asked. She hoped Mom would say yes.
+
+"Of course, Lila. You can play with the ball later. When it is not hot. When the fire is out. I will permit you to play with the ball then. But for now, let's find another toy. How about the blue bear? He is soft and cuddly. He is not hot. He is not near the fire. He is waiting for you in your room. Do you want to play with the blue bear?" Mom said. She smiled and hugged Lila.
+
+Lila smiled back. She liked the blue bear. He was her second favorite toy. She was happy to play with him. She forgot about the ball. She forgot about the fire. She followed Mom to her room. She thanked Mom for the blue bear. She said she loved Mom. Mom said she loved Lila too. They played together with the blue bear. They had fun. They were safe.
+Lily and Max love to bounce. They bounce on the bed, on the sofa, on the trampoline. One day, they see a big orange pumpkin in the garden. They want to bounce on it too.
+
+"Can we bounce on the pumpkin, Mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, you can't," Mom says. "The pumpkin is not for bouncing. It is for making pie and soup and carving faces. If you bounce on it, you will break it and make a mess."
+
+Lily and Max are sad. They like pie and soup and faces, but they like bouncing more. They look at the pumpkin. It looks round and soft and fun.
+
+"Maybe we can bounce on it a little bit," Max says. "Just one bounce. Mom won't know."
+
+Lily nods. She and Max sneak to the pumpkin. They climb on it and get ready to bounce. But as soon as they jump, the pumpkin cracks and splits. They fall into the pumpkin and get covered in seeds and pulp.
+
+"Uh-oh," Lily says.
+
+"Uh-oh," Max says.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the garden. She sees Lily and Max in the pumpkin. She is not happy.
+
+"What did you do?" Mom says. "I told you not to bounce on the pumpkin. Now it is ruined. How will we make pie and soup and faces now?"
+
+Lily and Max feel bad. They are sorry for breaking the pumpkin. They want to make Mom happy again.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Lily says.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Max says.
+
+"Can we help you fix it?" Lily says.
+
+"Can we help you fix it?" Max says.
+
+Mom sighs. She sees that Lily and Max are sincere. She decides to give them a chance.
+
+"Okay," Mom says. "You can help me fix it. But you have to be careful and helpful. No more bouncing on the pumpkin. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Max nod. They get out of the pumpkin and help Mom clean up the mess. They scoop out the seeds and pulp and put them in a bowl. They wash their hands and faces. They glue the pumpkin back together with tape and paper. They draw a face on it with a marker. They make pie and soup with the seeds and pulp. They share them with Mom and Dad.
+
+Lily and Max are happy. They learned their lesson. They don't bounce on the pumpkin anymore. They bounce on the trampoline instead. Mom is happy too. She is proud of Lily and Max for being helpful. She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. But it is a cold day and they are wearing coats and hats. They see a man with a big chain around his neck. The chain is shiny and has many colors.
+
+"Wow, look at that chain!" Tom says. "It is so pretty. I want to touch it."
+
+"No, Tom, we can't touch it. It is not ours. It is his," Lily says. "He might get angry."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He runs to the man and tries to grab the chain. The man sees him and shouts.
+
+"Hey, kid, what are you doing? Get away from me. This is my chain. I ordered it online. It is very expensive. You can't have it."
+
+Tom is scared. He lets go of the chain and runs back to Lily. He is crying.
+
+"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just wanted to see it. It was so pretty," he says.
+
+Lily hugs him and says, "It's okay, Tom. You made a mistake. But you have to be careful. You can't touch things that are not yours. You have to ask first. And you have to listen to me. I am your big sister. I know what is good and bad."
+
+Tom nods and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I will listen to you next time. Can we still play in the park?"
+
+Lily smiles and says, "Yes, we can still play. But let's stay away from the man with the chain. He is not nice. He is mean."
+
+They hold hands and go to the sandbox. They forget about the chain and have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben like to play with boxes. They find big boxes and small boxes and make them into different things. One day, they decide to create a boat with a big box. They cut a hole in the box and put a stick and a sheet on it. They draw windows and a door on the box with crayons. They are very proud of their boat.
+
+They take their boat to the park and pretend to sail on the grass. They say "Ahoy!" and "Yo-ho-ho!" and have fun. But then they see some older kids playing soccer nearby. The older kids laugh at Lily and Ben and their boat. They say "That's not a boat, that's a silly box!" and "You are too old to play with boxes!" and "You look like babies!"
+
+Lily and Ben feel embarrassed. They don't like the older kids being mean to them and their boat. They want to go home. They pick up their boat and start to walk away. But then they hear a voice.
+
+"Hey, don't listen to them. Your boat is awesome!" It is Sam, a friendly boy who lives next door. He likes to play with boxes too. He runs over to Lily and Ben and smiles. "Can I join you? I have a box too. We can make a pirate ship and have an adventure!"
+
+Lily and Ben feel happy. They like Sam and his box. They say "Yes, you can join us! Let's make a pirate ship!" They put their boxes together and add more sticks and sheets. They draw skulls and crossbones and flags on their boxes. They are very proud of their pirate ship.
+
+They take their pirate ship to the park and pretend to sail on the grass. They say "Ahoy!" and "Yo-ho-ho!" and have fun. They don't care about the older kids and their soccer. They have a friend and a pirate ship. They are very happy.
+Lila was a little girl who liked to poke things. She poked her toys, her food, her cat and sometimes her brother. She thought poking was fun and made funny noises.
+
+One day, Lila went to the park with her mom and dad. There was a big castle in the park, with a sign that said "Queen's Home". Lila wanted to see the queen, so she ran to the castle gate. She saw a lady in a long dress and a shiny crown. She thought she was the queen.
+
+"Hello, queen!" Lila said, and poked her in the arm.
+
+"Ouch!" the lady said, and frowned. "Don't poke me, you ignorant child! I'm not the queen, I'm the queen's sister. The queen is inside, and she doesn't like to be poked either. Go away, or I'll call the guards!"
+
+Lila was scared and sad. She didn't know what ignorant meant, but she knew it was not nice. She ran back to her mom and dad, who hugged her and told her it was okay.
+
+"Lila, you shouldn't poke strangers, especially not in the park. It's rude and it can hurt them. You should say hello and ask them nicely if you can talk to them or play with them. Do you understand?" her mom said.
+
+Lila nodded. She was sorry for poking the lady. She didn't want to be rude or hurt anyone. She wanted to be nice and make friends.
+
+"Can we go see the real queen?" she asked.
+
+"Maybe another day, sweetie. The queen is very busy and doesn't have time for visitors. But we can go see the ducks in the pond. They like to be fed and they make funny noises too. Do you want to go see the ducks?" her dad said.
+
+Lila smiled. She liked ducks. She thought they were cute and funny. She said yes, and followed her mom and dad to the pond. She forgot about the lady and the queen, and had fun feeding and watching the ducks. She didn't poke them, but she waved and said hello. The ducks quacked and splashed, and Lila laughed. She was happy.
+Sam and Lily are friends. They like to play together. But today, they have to do exercise with their class. They have to run and jump and stretch. Sam and Lily think exercise is boring.
+
+"Can we stop now?" Lily asks Sam. "I am tired and hot."
+
+"Me too," Sam says. "But we have to do exercise. Teacher says it is good for us."
+
+Sam and Lily keep doing exercise. They see a ball on the grass. They like to play with balls. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's pass the ball to each other," Sam says to Lily. "That is exercise too, right?"
+
+"Right," Lily says. "And it is fun!"
+
+Sam and Lily run to the ball. They start to pass it to each other. They laugh and smile. They forget they are doing exercise. They are happy.
+

+
+One day, they found a big, shiny rocket in the garage. It was not a toy. It was a missile. They did not know what a missile was. They thought it was a very cool rocket. They wanted to play with it.
+
+"Let's take it outside and fly it," Ben said.
+
+"OK, but first I need a drink," Mia said. She was thirsty. She went to the kitchen and got a glass of water.
+
+Ben did not wait for Mia. He pushed the missile out of the garage and into the yard. He saw a big red button on the side. He wondered what it did. He pressed it.
+
+The missile made a loud noise and a bright flash. It flew up into the sky very fast. Ben was scared. He ran back to the garage.
+
+Mia came out of the kitchen with her glass of water. She saw the missile flying away. She saw Ben hiding in the garage. He looked pale. He was shaking.
+
+"Ben, what did you do?" Mia asked.
+
+"I don't know, I don't know," Ben said. "I pressed a button and it flew away. It was not a toy. It was a missile."

+
+One night, Sara heard a loud noise outside her window. She was scared and ran to her mom and dad's room. She saw them hugging and looking worried. "What is that noise, mommy?" she asked.
+
+"It's a storm, honey. A big, powerful storm with wind and rain and thunder. But don't be afraid, we are safe here," her mom said.
+
+"Can we pray, mommy? Can we ask God to stop the storm and protect us?" Sara said.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. Let's pray together," her mom said. She lifted Sara up and wrapped her arms around her waist. Her dad joined them and they all bowed their heads.
+
+"Dear God, we are your children and we love you. Please calm the storm and keep us and everyone safe. Please give us peace and courage. We trust in you. Amen," they prayed.
+
+Sara felt warm and cozy in her mom's embrace. She heard the storm getting quieter and quieter. She smiled and said, "Thank you, God. You are so good and powerful. I love you." Her mom and dad kissed her and said, "We love you too, Sara. You are our precious gift from God." They all snuggled together and fell asleep.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They threw snowballs at each other and laughed. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But soon they felt cold and tired. Their fingers and toes were icy. Their noses were red. They wanted to go inside and get warm.
+
+"Let's go home, Ben," Anna said. "We can have some hot cocoa and nap."
+

+
+"Is it bad?" Lily asked.
+
+"It can be, Lily. But we are safe here. We just have to stay calm and wait for it to stop," dad said.
+
+The earthquake was wild. It made loud noises and cracked the road. It made the swings and slides move. It made some people scream and cry. Sam and Lily were scared. They held their mom and dad's hands tight.
+
+The earthquake stopped after a few minutes. The park was messy. There were rocks and branches everywhere. Some people were hurt and some cars were broken. Sam and Lily saw a fire truck and an ambulance come to help.
+
+"Are we okay?" Sam asked.
+
+"Yes, we are okay, Sam. We are lucky. The earthquake was not too big or too long," mom said.
+
+"Can we still play at the park?" Lily asked.
+

+
+He showed his car to his mom and asked her to fix it. His mom looked at the car and smiled. She said, "Your car needs new batteries, Tom. Batteries are small things that make your car work. They have power inside them, but sometimes they run out of power. Then you need to open the car and put new batteries in."
+
+She took Tom to the kitchen and found some new batteries in a drawer. She showed Tom how to open the car with a screwdriver and take out the old batteries. Then she put the new batteries in and closed the car. She said, "Now your car has mighty batteries, Tom. They have a lot of power and will make your car work for a long time. Let's try it."

+
+Tom nodded and kissed his mom. He said, "I understand, mom. I will be careful and help you. I love you and I love my car!" He ran to the living room with his car and played with it happily. He had a lot of fun with his mighty car and his mighty batteries.
+Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and eat snacks. One day, Mom gave them a banana to share. She cut it in half and put it on a plate.
+
+"Here you go, Tom and Lily. Share the banana nicely," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at the banana. Tom wanted the bigger half. He grabbed it and ran to his room.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair! Give me some banana!" Lily shouted. She followed Tom and tried to take the banana from him.
+

+
+"Tom, you are mean and lazy! You don't share and you don't play. Mom will be mad at you!" Lily said.
+
+Tom heard Lily and felt bad. He liked his sister and he didn't want to make her cry. He opened the door and gave her some banana.

+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big red kite in the sky. It is very high and fast. It looks like a bird.
+
+"Wow, look at the kite!" Lily says. "It can soar in the air. I want to soar too."
+
+"Me too," Tom says. "But how can we soar?"
+
+They think hard. They see a hill near the park. They run to the hill. They find a big cardboard box. They put the box on the hill.
+
+"Let's get in the box," Lily says. "Maybe it can fly like the kite."
+
+"OK," Tom says. "But we need something to hold on to."
+
+They find some sticks and some string. They tie the sticks to the box. They hold the string in their hands.
+
+"Ready?" Lily asks.
+
+"Ready!" Tom says.
+
+They push the box down the hill. The box goes very fast. It bumps and shakes. Lily and Tom laugh and scream. They feel like they are soaring.
+
+But then, the box hits a rock. It flips over. Lily and Tom fall out. They land on the grass. They are not hurt, but they are dirty and sad.
+
+"Ouch," Lily says. "That was not fun."
+
+"No, it was not," Tom says. "The box is broken. And we are not soaring."
+
+They look at the sky. The kite is still there. It is still high and fast. It looks like a bird.
+
+"Maybe we can't soar like the kite," Lily says. "Maybe only kites and birds can soar."
+
+"Maybe," Tom says. "But we can still play."
+
+They get up. They see a playground near the park. They run to the playground. They see a slide, a swing, a seesaw, and a sandbox.
+
+"Look, there are many things to play with," Lily says. "Let's go."

+They throw the sandwiches away. They drink their juice. The juice is sweet and cold. It tastes good.
+
+"Ah," Lily says. "The juice is good. I like it."
+
+"Me too," Tom says. "It is not dry. It is juicy."
+
+They finish their juice. They throw the bottles away. They smile at each other.
+
+"Let's go play," Lily says.
+
+"Let's go," Tom says.
+
+They run to the playground. They have fun. They slide, they swing, they seesaw, and they sandbox. They forget about the kite, the box, and the beef. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were ready to swim. They put on their swim suits and hats. They got in the van with Mom and Dad. The van drove to the big pool.
+
+At the pool, Tom and Lily saw many other kids. They wanted to play with them. Mom and Dad said they had to stay close and be careful. They gave them floaties to wear on their arms.

+They found a nice spot under a tree and spread a blanket on the grass. Tom set up the grill and poured some coal on it. He asked Lily to supply him with a match to light the fire.
+
+"Here you go, Tom," Lily said, handing him a match. "Be careful, don't burn yourself."
+
+Tom struck the match and lit the coal. Soon, the grill was hot and ready. He put some thick hot dogs on it and turned them with a fork. They sizzled and smelled good.
+
+Lily set up the plates and cups on the blanket. She also opened the cheese and cut some slices. She put some bread and cheese on each plate and added some fruit. She poured some juice in each cup.
+
+"Yum, this looks delicious," she said. "Are the hot dogs ready, Tom?"
+
+"Almost, Lily," Tom said. "They need a few more minutes. Do you want ketchup or mustard on yours?"
+
+"I want both, Tom," Lily said. "And some relish, too."
+
+"Me too, Lily," Tom said. "We have everything we need for a perfect picnic."
+
+They smiled at each other and waited for the hot dogs to cook. They were happy to spend a sunny day together in the park.
+Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a cute train. The train has a red engine, a blue wagon and a green caboose. The train can make noise and move on the tracks.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben decide to set up the train on the floor. They take out the tracks and the train from the box. They put the tracks in a circle and the train on the tracks. They turn on the switch and the train starts to move. Anna and Ben clap their hands and laugh.
+
+"Look, the train is going fast!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "Can I hold the engine?"
+
+"OK, but be careful," Anna says. She stops the train and gives the engine to Ben.
+
+Ben holds the engine in his hands. He likes how it feels and how it makes noise. He wants to see how fast it can go. He turns on the switch and shakes the engine.
+
+"Vroom, vroom!" Ben says.
+
+But the engine is too fast for Ben. He loses his grip and the engine flies out of his hands. It lands on the tip of the couch and falls down. It makes a loud crash and breaks into pieces.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+They run to the couch and see the broken engine. They feel sad and sorry. They look at each other and hug.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "I broke your train."
+
+"It's OK, Ben," Anna says. "It was an accident. I still love you."
+
+They pick up the pieces and put them in the box. They hope their mom can fix the train. They decide to play with another toy. They choose a cute teddy bear. They hug the teddy bear and smile.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play games and have fun. Sometimes they were competitive. They wanted to win and be the best.

+
+Ben saw Lily take the sausage. He was angry. He wanted the sausage too. He ran after Lily and tried to catch her.
+
+Lily and Ben ran and ran. They did not see the big dog. The big dog saw them. The big dog liked sausages. He barked and chased them.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what to do. They saw a fence. They climbed over the fence and hid behind it.
+
+The big dog could not climb the fence. He was sad. He wanted the sausage too. He whined and walked away.

+Lily and Max are twins. They love to play outside. They have a big yard with many trees and flowers. Sometimes they see wild animals, like birds and squirrels and rabbits.
+
+One day, they find a big box in the yard. They wonder what is inside. They open the box and see a small, furry thing. It has black and white stripes and a long tail. It looks like a cat, but not like their cat.
+
+"Wow, a new friend!" Lily says. She wants to pet the furry thing.
+
+"Wait, Lily, be careful!" Max says. He remembers what Mom told them. "That is a skunk. It can spray a bad smell if it is scared."
+
+But Lily does not listen. She reaches out her hand to touch the skunk. The skunk does not like that. It turns around and lifts its tail. It sprays a stinky spray at Lily. Lily screams and runs away.
+
+"Yuck, yuck, yuck!" Lily complains. She smells very bad. She cries and rubs her eyes. The spray hurts her eyes.
+
+Max runs after her. He feels sorry for her. He hugs her and says, "It's okay, Lily. I love you. Let's go inside and wash off the bad smell."
+
+They go inside and Mom helps them. She washes them with soap and water and vinegar. She tells them not to touch wild animals. She says they can get sick or hurt. She says they can watch them from far away, but not touch them.
+
+Lily and Max learn their lesson. They say sorry to Mom. They say they will be more careful next time. They still love to play outside, but they stay away from the skunk. They hope the skunk will find a new home. They hope it will not be mad at them. They hope it will be happy.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also liked to chase each other and make funny noises.
+
+One day, they saw a new girl in the park. She had a big red ball and a pretty dress. She bounced the ball and smiled. Lily and Max wanted to play with her and the ball. They ran to her and said hello.
+
+"Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to play with me and my ball?" the new girl asked.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Max said.
+
+They took turns bouncing the ball and catching it. They laughed and had fun. But soon, Lily and Max started to feel jealous. They both wanted the ball for themselves. They tried to grab it from each other and from Anna. They pushed and pulled and shouted.
+
+"Stop it! It's my turn!" Lily said.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Max said.
+
+"Hey, be nice! It's my ball!" Anna said.
+
+They were not friends anymore. They were angry and sad.
+
+Then, they heard a loud voice. It was Lily's mom. She had come to pick them up.
+
+"Lily, Max, hurry! It's time to go home!" she called.
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they had done. They did not want to leave the park and the new girl. They wanted to play and be friends again.
+
+They ran to Anna and gave her the ball. They said sorry and hugged her.
+
+"Can we play with you again tomorrow?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course! I would love that!" Anna said.
+
+They smiled and waved goodbye. They followed Lily's mom to the car. They looked at the sky. The sunshine was bright and warm. They felt happy and hopeful. They had learned a lesson. They had learned to share and be kind.
+Sara likes to cook with her mom. They make yummy things like soup and cake and bread. Sara helps mom by stirring and pouring and mixing. She has a big apron and a wooden spoon.
+
+One day, mom says, "Sara, we need some eggs for the cake. Can you get them from the fridge?" Sara nods and runs to the fridge. She opens the door and sees a big carton of eggs. She takes it out and carries it to the table.
+
+But the carton is too heavy for Sara. She drops it on the floor and it breaks. Eggs spill out and make a mess. Sara feels sad and scared. She says, "Mom, I'm sorry, I broke the eggs!"
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She sees the eggs and the carton and the mess. She smiles and hugs Sara. She says, "It's okay, Sara, it was an accident. Don't cry. We can clean it up and get some more eggs. The cake can wait."
+
+Sara wipes her eyes and smiles back. She says, "Thank you, mom, you are nice. I love you." Mom says, "I love you too, Sara. You are a good helper. Come on, let's get a mop and a bucket and some dry towels. Then we can cook again." Sara nods and follows mom. She is happy to cook with her mom.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big tree with many leaves and a hole in the trunk. Tom and Lily wanted to see what was inside the hole. They ran to the tree and looked inside.
+
+They found a piece of paper with some words on it. It was a poem. Tom and Lily did not know what a poem was. They asked their mom.
+
+"A poem is a kind of writing that sounds nice and sometimes rhymes," mom said. "Do you want to hear the poem?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+Mom took the paper and read the poem aloud. It was about a bird that flew away and a cat that chased it. The poem had some funny and mysterious words, like "flap" and "pounce" and "swoop". Tom and Lily laughed and clapped.
+
+"Who wrote this poem?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know," mom said. "Maybe someone who likes birds and cats. Or maybe the tree wrote it."
+
+"The tree?" Lily said. "How can a tree write a poem?"
+
+Mom smiled and shrugged. "Maybe it has a secret. Maybe it is a magic tree."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at the tree with wonder. They thought it was a very special and mysterious tree. They thanked the tree for the poem and gave it a hug. Then they ran to play some more in the park.
+Jenny likes to speak to the ornament on the tree. It is a good ornament. It is red and shiny and has a face. Jenny thinks it is her friend.
+
+One day, Jenny asks the ornament, "Do you like Christmas?" The ornament does not answer. Jenny asks again, "Do you like Christmas?" The ornament still does not answer.
+
+Jenny feels sad. She thinks the ornament does not like her. She says, "Please speak to me. I want to talk to you."
+
+Then, she hears a voice. It is not the ornament. It is her mom. Mom says, "Jenny, who are you talking to?"
+
+Jenny points to the ornament. She says, "I am talking to the ornament. But it does not talk back."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "The ornament cannot talk, Jenny. It is not alive. It is just a decoration. But it is a good ornament. It makes the tree look pretty. And it is your friend. You can pretend it talks to you if you want. But you can also talk to me. I am your real friend. And I love you."
+
+Jenny hugs her mom. She says, "I love you too, mom. You are my best friend. And the ornament is my second best friend." Mom and Jenny laugh. They are happy.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+Tom has a tie. He got it from his dad. He thinks it is cool. He wears it around his neck. Sue does not have a tie. She has a bow. She wears it in her hair.
+
+Tom and Sue run to the slide. Tom goes first. He slides down fast. He laughs. He likes the slide. Sue goes next. She slides down fast too. She smiles. She likes the slide too.
+
+They go on the slide again and again. They have fun. But Tom's tie is loose. It hangs down. Tom does not notice. He is too busy.
+
+Sue sees Tom's tie. She is worried. She thinks it is dangerous. She warns Tom. She says, "Tom, your tie! It is loose! It can get stuck on the slide! It can hurt you! Take it off!"
+
+Tom hears Sue. He looks at his tie. He sees it is loose. He is scared. He does not want to get hurt. He takes off his tie. He says, "Thank you, Sue! You are a good friend! You saved me!"
+
+Tom and Sue hug. They are happy. They are tired. They go home. They take their tie and bow. They put them away. They say, "Bye, slide! See you tomorrow!"
+Sam and Lily were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make them go fast and make noises. Sam had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road.
+
+"Beep beep! I'm going to win!" Sam said, pushing his car forward.
+
+"No, I'm going to win!" Lily said, pushing her car faster.
+
+They reached the end of the rug and had to turn around. Sam tried to reverse his car, but he hit a book. His car got stuck and made a loud alarm sound.
+
+"Oh no! My car is broken!" Sam cried. He felt sad and angry.
+
+Lily saw that Sam was upset. She felt sorry for him. She was compassionate. She stopped her car and went to help him.
+
+"Here, let me help you," she said. She pulled the book away and freed Sam's car. She gave it back to him and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind," Sam said. He smiled too.
+
+They hugged and decided to play together. They made their cars go fast and slow, forward and reverse, and had fun. They were happy.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box of crayons in their room. They had an urge to draw on the walls with the crayons. They thought it would be fun and pretty.
+
+They took some crayons and started to draw on the wall near their bed. They drew flowers, stars, animals, and their names. They were happy and proud of their art. They did not hear their mom coming upstairs.
+
+When their mom opened the door, she saw the wall covered with crayons. She was not happy. She said, "Lily and Max, what did you do? You know you are not allowed to draw on the walls. That is very naughty. You have to clean it up right now."
+
+Lily and Max felt sorry. They did not want to make their mom angry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We had an urge to draw. We thought it would be nice. We did not mean to be naughty."
+
+Their mom saw that they were sorry. She was gentle with them. She said, "I know you like to draw, but you have to draw on paper, not on the walls. The walls are not for drawing. They are for keeping us warm and safe. You have to respect the walls and the house. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We will not draw on the walls again. We will draw on paper. Can you help us clean the wall?"
+
+Their mom smiled. She said, "Yes, I will help you clean the wall. But first, you have to spend some time in your room and think about what you did. Then, we will clean the wall together and make it nice again. OK?"
+
+Lily and Max said, "OK, mom. We love you."
+
+Their mom said, "I love you too. Now, go to your room and think."
+
+Lily and Max went to their room and thought. They learned their lesson. They never drew on the walls again. They drew on paper and made beautiful art. Their mom was proud of them.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a big box that she liked to hide in. Ben had a small basket that he liked to fill with things.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a pear!" Ben said, holding up a green fruit. "It is yummy and sweet. Do you want some?"
+
+"No, thank you, Ben. I have my own pear." Lily said, showing him a yellow fruit. "It is soft and juicy. I like it better."
+
+Ben shrugged and took a bite of his pear. He saw Lily crawl into her box and close the flap. He wondered what she was doing in there. He decided to join her. He put his pear and his basket next to the box and tried to squeeze in.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cried out. He was too big for the box. He could not fit. He felt uncomfortable and stuck. He pushed and kicked, but he could not get out.
+
+"Lily, help me! I am trapped!" Ben shouted.
+
+Lily opened the flap and saw Ben's face. He looked scared and sad. She felt sorry for him. She pulled him out of the box and gave him a hug.
+
+"I am sorry, Ben. You are too big for my box. It is only for me." Lily said.
+
+"It is okay, Lily. I am sorry, too. I did not mean to break your box." Ben said.
+
+They looked at the box. It was torn and bent. They felt bad. They threw it away and picked up their pears and basket.
+
+"Let's play something else, Lily. Something that we can both fit in." Ben said.
+
+"Okay, Ben. How about we make a fort with the pillows and blankets?" Lily said.
+
+"That sounds fun, Lily. Let's do that." Ben said.
+
+They smiled and ran to the couch. They forgot about the box and had fun together. They shared their pears and played with their toys. They were happy and comfortable.
+Sara and Tom love to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. One day, they see a huge fire in the sky. It is orange and red and makes a loud noise.
+
+"What is that?" Sara asks Tom.
+
+"That is a firework," Tom says. "It is for a special day. People make firework to be happy and have fun."
+
+Sara and Tom watch the firework. They see many colors and shapes. They clap and cheer. They think it is very pretty and cool.
+
+But then, Sara sees a small fire on the ground. It is near a trash can. It is not pretty or cool. It is scary and bad.
+
+"Tom, look!" Sara says. "There is a fire there. It can hurt us and the park. We have to tell someone."
+
+Tom sees the fire too. He is scared and worried. He nods and says, "You are right, Sara. We have to tell someone. Come on, let's go find a grown-up."
+
+Sara and Tom run to find a grown-up. They see a man with a hat and a badge. He is a fireman. He has a big hose and a truck.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Tom says. "There is a fire in the park. It is near the trash can. Can you please help?"
+
+The fireman looks at Tom and Sara. He smiles and says, "Thank you for telling me, kids. You are very brave and smart. I will go and put out the fire. Don't worry, it will be okay."
+
+The fireman goes to the fire. He uses his hose and his truck. He makes the fire go away. He saves the park and the people.
+
+Sara and Tom are happy and relieved. They hug each other and say, "We did it, Tom. We helped the fireman. We love the park and we love each other."
+
+The fireman comes back to Sara and Tom. He gives them a high-five and a sticker. He says, "You are amazing, kids. You did a great job. You love the park and you love each other. That is the best thing in the world."
+Anna and Ben were twins who lived in a small and charming town. They liked to play in the park, visit the library and go to the bakery. One day, they saw a big bus full of people who looked different from them. They had cameras, hats and maps. They were tourists.
+
+"Who are they?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+"They are people who come from far away to see our town," Ben explained. "They think our town is very pretty and interesting."
+
+"Why do they think that?" Anna wondered.
+
+"Because our town has many old and nice things, like the church, the bridge and the fountain," Ben said. "And because our town has friendly and kind people, like us."
+
+Anna and Ben smiled and waved at the tourists. Some of them smiled and waved back. They took pictures of the twins and the town. Anna and Ben felt proud and happy.
+
+"Can we be tourists too?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+"Sure, why not?" Ben agreed. "Let's pretend we are from another place and explore our town."
+
+They grabbed their backpacks and ran to the bus stop. They got on the bus and sat on the front seats. They looked out the window and pretended to be amazed by everything they saw.
+
+"Wow, look at that big and old church!" Anna exclaimed.
+
+"Wow, look at that long and nice bridge!" Ben exclaimed.
+
+They had a lot of fun being tourists in their own town. They learned new things and met new people. They realized how charming their town was. They thanked the bus driver and got off the bus. They walked back home, holding hands and singing. They loved their town and each other.
+Anna loves her pink doll. She plays with it every day. She gives it hugs and kisses and tea. But one day, her doll is gone. She looks everywhere. She asks her mom and dad. They do not know where it is.
+
+"Where is my pink doll?" Anna cries. "I want my pink doll!"
+
+"Maybe it is in your room," her mom says. "Let's go and see."
+
+They go to Anna's room. They look under the bed, in the closet, in the drawers. They do not find the doll. But they find something else. It is a broken toy car. It is blue and yellow and has four wheels. But one wheel is missing.
+
+"Look, Anna," her mom says. "This is your brother's toy car. He left it here. Maybe he took your doll by mistake."
+
+Anna is angry. She does not like her brother. He is mean and noisy and always takes her things. She runs to his room. She opens the door. She sees her brother on the floor. He is playing with her pink doll. He is pulling its hair and arms and legs. He is making it talk in a funny voice.
+
+"Give me back my pink doll!" Anna shouts. "You are hurting it!"
+
+Her brother looks at her. He laughs. He throws the doll in the air. He catches it. He throws it again. He misses. The doll flies out of the window. It falls on the grass. It disappears.
+
+Anna and her brother run to the window. They look outside. They do not see the doll. They only see a big dog. It is brown and furry and has a long tail. It is running away. It has something in its mouth. It is the pink doll.
+
+Anna and her brother are sad. They cry. They hug each other. They say they are sorry. They go to their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. Their mom and dad are sorry too. They hug them. They say they will buy them a new doll and a new toy car. They say they love them. They say they should share and be nice to each other. Anna and her brother nod. They smile. They say they love them too. They say they will try. They go to play together. They forget about the pink doll. They do not know that it is gone forever.
+Lily and Tom are playing in the living room. They have many toys on the rug. Lily likes the doll and Tom likes the car. They share their toys and are polite to each other.
+
+But then, Tom sees a new toy on the shelf. It is a big truck with lights and sounds. He wants to play with it. He runs to the shelf and grabs the truck. He does not ask Lily if she wants to play with it too.
+
+Lily is sad. She likes the truck too. She follows Tom and says, "Tom, can I play with the truck too? Please?"
+
+Tom does not listen. He pushes a button and the truck makes a loud noise. He says, "No, Lily, this is my truck. Go away!"
+
+Lily is angry. She tries to take the truck from Tom. They pull and tug and shout. The truck falls to the floor and breaks. The lights and sounds stop.
+
+Lily and Tom are scared. They hear their mom coming. They know they are in trouble. They kneel on the rug and look at the broken truck. They are sorry.
+
+Mom sees the mess and the broken truck. She is not happy. She says, "Lily and Tom, what did you do? This was a gift from your aunt. You were not polite to each other. You were not careful with the toy. You need to say sorry and clean up."
+
+Lily and Tom say sorry to mom and to each other. They hug and say, "We are friends. We will share and be polite." They help mom to clean up the rug and the toy. Mom smiles and says, "That's good. I love you both. Next time, ask before you take a toy and play nicely." Lily and Tom nod and say, "Yes, mom." They learn their lesson.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. Lily and Sam run to the swing. They take turns to swing high and low.
+
+"Wow, this is great!" Lily says. "I feel like a bird!"
+
+"Me too!" Sam says. "Look how fast I can go!"
+
+They swing and swing until they are tired. They get off the swing and sit on the grass. They are thirsty. They see a man with a cart. He has milk and cookies.
+
+"Can we have some milk and cookies, please?" Lily and Sam ask.
+
+"Sure, here you go," the man says. He gives them each a cup of milk and a cookie.
+
+"Thank you!" Lily and Sam say. They drink the milk and eat the cookie. They are happy.
+
+"Milk is good for you," the man says. "It makes you strong and healthy."
+
+Lily and Sam nod. They feel strong and healthy. They finish their milk and cookie. They say goodbye to the man. They run back to the swing. They swing some more. They have fun. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were very excited to see the fireworks. They put on their warm coats and hats and went outside with Mom and Dad. They saw many people and cars on the street. They heard loud noises and saw bright colors in the sky.
+
+"Wow, look at that one!" Ben said, pointing at a firework that looked like a star. "It's so pretty!"
+
+Lily nodded and clapped her hands. She liked the fireworks too, but they were also very loud and fast. She felt dizzy and wanted to sit down. She tugged on Mom's hand and said, "Mom, I feel funny. Can we sit down?"
+
+Mom looked at Lily and saw that she was pale and shaky. She said, "Of course, sweetie. Let's find a bench and rest for a bit. You might be tired from all the excitement."
+
+They walked to a nearby bench and sat down. Mom hugged Lily and gave her some water. Lily felt better and smiled at Mom. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you."
+
+"I love you too, Lily," Mom said. "Do you want to watch the fireworks some more, or do you want to go home?"
+
+Lily looked at the sky and saw another firework that looked like a flower. She said, "I want to watch some more, but can we stay here?"
+
+Mom nodded and said, "Sure, we can stay here. Ben, do you want to join us?"
+
+Ben ran over to them and said, "Yes, I want to join you. The fireworks are awesome, but they are also very loud. Can I sit on your lap, Dad?"
+
+Dad smiled and said, "Of course, buddy. Come here." He lifted Ben and put him on his lap. He said, "Look, there's another one. It looks like a rocket."
+
+They all watched the fireworks together and oohed and aahed. They felt happy and cozy. They did not notice a naughty boy who was sneaking behind them. He had a firecracker in his hand and a mean grin on his face. He lit the firecracker and threw it at them. It landed near Lily's feet and made a loud bang.
+
+Lily screamed and jumped. She was scared and angry. She turned around and saw the naughty boy. She ran after him and slapped him on the face. She said, "That was not nice! You scared me and my family! You are a bad boy!"
+
+The naughty boy was surprised and hurt. He cried and ran away. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was just trying to have fun. Please don't hit me again."
+
+Lily went back to her family and hugged them. She said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. I don't like firecrackers. They are too loud and dangerous."
+
+Mom and Dad said, "It's okay, Lily. We understand. You were brave and stood up for yourself and us. But remember, violence is not the answer. Next time, you can tell an adult or walk away."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I know, I know. I'm sorry. I love you."
+
+They all said, "We love you too, Lily." They cuddled and watched the fireworks some more. They felt happy and cozy again. They did not see any more firecrackers. They only saw beautiful fireworks.
+Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play with chalk on the sidewalk. They draw suns and stars and flowers. They have fun.
+
+One day, a bald man walks by. He sees the chalk on the sidewalk. He does not like it. He thinks it is messy. He is angry.
+
+He takes the chalk from Sam and Mia. He says, "Stop drawing on the sidewalk! This is not your place! Go away!" He throws the chalk in the trash.
+
+Sam and Mia are sad. They do not understand. They like to draw on the sidewalk. They do not hurt anyone. They say, "Please, give us back our chalk. We want to play. We are sorry."
+
+But the bald man does not listen. He walks away. He is mean.
+
+Sam and Mia cry. They do not have chalk anymore. They do not have fun. They miss their suns and stars and flowers. They wish the bald man was nice.
+Sara liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and made pictures of flowers, animals and people. She put her pictures in a folder to keep them safe. She was very proud of her drawings, but she was also modest. She did not show them to everyone, only to her family and friends.
+
+One day, her teacher asked the children to bring something to share with the class. Sara thought about what she could bring. She did not have a toy or a book that was special to her. Then she remembered her folder. She decided to bring it and show some of her pictures.
+
+When it was her turn, she walked to the front of the room with her folder. She opened it and took out a picture of a rainbow. She held it up and said, "This is a rainbow. I like rainbows because they have many colors. I used all my crayons to make it."
+
+The other children clapped and said, "Wow, that's a beautiful rainbow, Sara!"
+
+Sara smiled and took out another picture. It was a picture of a dog. She said, "This is a dog. His name is Spot. He is my friend. He likes to play and bark."
+
+The other children clapped and said, "Wow, that's a cute dog, Sara!"
+
+Sara smiled and took out one more picture. It was a picture of herself. She said, "This is me. I like to draw. Drawing makes me happy."
+
+The other children clapped and said, "Wow, you are a good artist, Sara!"
+
+Sara felt happy and proud. She thanked the children and the teacher. She put her pictures back in her folder and walked back to her seat. She bowed to the class and said, "Thank you for listening to me."
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together at the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun and exercise.
+
+But one day, Ben is sick. He has to stay at home. He cannot go to the park with Lily. He feels sad and bored. He misses Lily and the park.
+
+Lily goes to the park by herself. She sees other kids, but they are not Ben. She does not want to play with them. She misses Ben and his smile.
+
+She decides to call Ben on the phone. She says, "Hi, Ben. How are you? I miss you. Do you miss me?"
+
+Ben says, "Hi, Lily. I am not well. I have a cough and a fever. I miss you too. I miss the park and our games."
+
+Lily says, "I am sorry you are sick. I hope you get better soon. I have an idea. Why don't we exercise together on the phone? We can do some jumps and stretches. It will make us happy and strong."
+
+Ben says, "That sounds amazing. Let's do it. Ready, set, go!"
+
+Lily and Ben start to exercise on the phone. They laugh and count. They feel better and closer. They are still best friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a swing. Lily wanted to go on the swing, but Ben got there first. He pushed the swing hard and went very high. Lily was envious. She wanted to go high too.
+
+"Let me have a turn, Ben!" Lily said.
+
+"No, it's my turn. You can wait," Ben said.
+
+Lily was angry. She thought of a way to make Ben get off the swing. She ran to the sandbox and found a long stick. She used the stick to measure how high Ben was going. She said, "I can jump higher than you, Ben!"
+
+Ben did not believe her. He said, "No, you can't. You are too small. I am bigger and stronger."
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I can. Watch me!" She put the stick on the ground and jumped over it. She jumped very high. She was proud.
+
+Ben saw her jump. He was surprised. He wanted to jump too. He got off the swing and ran to the stick. He tried to jump over it, but he tripped and fell. He hurt his knee. He cried.
+
+Lily felt sorry for him. She ran to him and helped him up. She said, "Are you okay, Ben?"
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You can have the swing. You are a good jumper."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. We can share the swing."
+
+They hugged and went to the swing. They pushed each other and went high. They had fun. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia like to play outside, even when it is cold and dark. They have a big flashlight that makes bright light. They wear warm hats and coats and gloves.
+
+One night, they go to the park with their flashlight. They see a big sign that says "Do not go on the ice". The sign has a picture of a person falling into the water. Tom and Mia know that ice is very hard and slippery and cold. They do not want to fall into the water.
+
+But they also see something shiny on the ice. It looks like a toy or a coin. Tom wants to get it. He says to Mia, "I will be very fast and careful. You stay here and watch me with the flashlight."
+
+Mia does not think this is a good idea. She says to Tom, "No, Tom, it is too dangerous. The sign says no. The ice can break and you can get hurt. Please come back."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He runs to the ice and tries to pick up the shiny thing. He slips and falls. He drops the flashlight. The flashlight rolls away and turns off. Now it is very dark and Tom is scared and cold. He cries for help.
+
+Mia hears Tom and runs to him. She finds the flashlight and turns it on. She sees Tom on the ice. She is scared too, but she is brave. She says to Tom, "Don't worry, Tom, I will help you. Hold my hand and slide to me. We will get off the ice together."
+
+Tom holds Mia's hand and slides to her. They get off the ice and hug each other. They are happy and relieved. They say sorry to each other and to the sign. They leave the shiny thing on the ice. They go home and tell their mom and dad what happened. Their mom and dad are glad they are safe and hug them too.

+
+They go near the big boy and say hello. They ask him if they can look at his bike. The big boy is rude. He says no and tells them to go away. He says his bike is too good for them and they are too small and silly. He laughs at them and rides away.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They think the big boy is mean and does not share. They want to teach him a lesson. They wait until he parks his bike near a tree and goes to get a drink. They sneak up to his bike and take his chain. They hide it behind a bush and run away.
+
+The big boy comes back and sees his bike without a chain. He is shocked and mad. He looks around and sees Lily and Ben smiling at him. He knows they took his chain and he yells at them. He says he will tell their moms and dads and they will be in trouble.
+
+Lily and Ben are not scared. They say they will give him back his chain if he says sorry and lets them look at his bike. They say he was rude and did not share and that is not nice. They say they like his bike but they like their bikes too and they are not small and silly.
+
+The big boy thinks for a moment. He does not want to lose his chain and he does not want to be in trouble. He also feels a little bad for being mean to Lily and Ben.

+
+Sara nodded. "Yes, mom. How can I improve it?" she asked.

+
+Lily and Ben let go of the large strawberry. They felt sorry and scared. They said, "We are sorry, sir. We just wanted the large strawberry. How much do we have to pay?"
+
+The farmer looked at their baskets. He saw that they had many strawberries. He said, "You have to pay one dollar for each basket. And you have to share the large strawberry. It is too big for one person."

+
+Tom nodded, but he was still in pain. He felt sorry too. He had been careless and foolish. He had broken the vase, the doll, and his tongue.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry. I should have listened to you. The needle was sharp. It hurt me. The vase was fragile. It broke. The doll was soft. It lost its dress and hair," Tom said, sobbing.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged each other and said sorry again. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with sharp and fragile things. They learned to listen to each other. They learned to not hurry and make mistakes. They learned to love their toys and each other.
+Lily and her mom went to the shop. Lily wanted a new doll. She saw a doll with long hair and a pink dress. She said, "Mom, I want this doll. Please, please, please."

+One night, Ben has a big idea. He wants to sneak out of the crib and explore the house. He tells Lily his plan.
+
+"Let's go out of the crib and see what is in the kitchen. Maybe we can find some cookies or milk," he says.
+
+Lily is scared. She likes to stay in the crib. She thinks it is cozy and safe. She does not want to get in trouble.
+
+"No, Ben, that is a bad idea. Mom and Dad will be mad if they find us. We should stay in the crib and sleep like regular babies," she says.
+
+But Ben does not listen. He climbs over the railing of the crib and tries to jump to the floor. He does not see the toy car that is on the rug. He steps on it and slips. He falls down and hurts his knee. He cries out loud.
+
+Lily hears Ben's cry and feels sorry for him. She also cries out loud. She wants to help him.
+

+"Let's eat some cake," Ben said.
+
+"OK," Mia said.
+
+They ran to the table and took a big slice each. They ate it fast. It was sweet and soft.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was Mom. She was angry.
+
+"Who ate my cake?" she shouted. "That was for Grandma's birthday!"
+
+Ben and Mia were scared. They hid under the table. They hoped Mom would not find them.
+
+But Mom saw the crumbs on the floor. She followed them to the table. She lifted the cloth and saw Ben and Mia.
+
+"There you are!" she said. "You ate my cake! That was very naughty!"

+
+She shows her drawing to her mom. "Look, mom, I drew a tuna!" she says proudly. Her mom smiles and hugs her. "That's a very nice tuna, Mia. You are a good artist," she says. Mia feels grateful for her mom's words. She loves her mom very much.
+
+Her mom says, "Do you want to eat some tuna for lunch? I have a can in the kitchen." Mia nods and says, "Yes, please. I like tuna. It is yummy." Her mom opens the can and puts some tuna on a plate. She gives it to Mia with some bread and cheese. Mia eats her lunch and enjoys it.

+Lily and Tom were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They found many shells of different colors and shapes. Some were big and some were small. Some were smooth and some were bumpy.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a shell that can make noise!" Tom said. He held a big shell to his ear and listened. He heard a sound like the sea. He gave the shell to Lily and she listened too. She smiled and nodded.
+
+"That is a useful shell, Tom. We can pretend it is a phone and talk to each other," Lily said. She put the shell to her mouth and said, "Hello, Tom, this is Lily. Do you want to build a sandcastle with me?"
+
+"Yes, Lily, I do. Let's find some more useful shells to decorate it," Tom said. He put the shell to his ear and answered. They laughed and ran to find more shells.
+
+They found a pile of shells near the water. They started to pick some for their sandcastle. But then they saw something move in one of the shells. It was a small crab. It had two claws and eight legs. It looked scared and angry.
+
+"Ouch!" Tom cried. He dropped the shell and shook his hand. The crab had pinched his finger with its claw. It hurt a lot. Tom felt tears in his eyes.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asked. She ran to him and hugged him. She saw the crab crawl away from the shell and into the water.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't know there was a crab in the shell. It was not a useful shell. It was a mean shell," Lily said. She squeezed Tom's hand gently and kissed his finger.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. It was not your fault. The crab was just scared and wanted to protect its home. Maybe it thought we were going to take its shell away," Tom said. He smiled and hugged Lily back.
+
+"Let's be careful and check the shells before we take them. Maybe we can find some empty shells that are useful and nice," Lily said.
+
+"Okay, Lily. Let's do that. And let's be nice to the crabs and let them keep their shells," Tom said.
+
+They held hands and walked back to their sandcastle. They found some empty shells that were useful and nice. They used them to make windows and doors and flags. They were happy and proud of their sandcastle. They played with their shell phone and talked to each other. They had fun on the beach.
+Lily and Max were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish and shells and crabs. They were happy.
+
+One day, they saw a long, gray thing in the water. It had a big mouth and sharp teeth. It was a shark. Lily and Max were scared. They ran to their mom and dad and told them.
+
+"Mom, dad, there is a shark in the water! It is long and scary!" Lily said.
+
+"Where? Where is the shark?" dad asked.
+
+"Over there, near the rocks. It is swimming fast. Maybe it wants to taste us!" Max said.
+
+Mom and dad looked at the water. They did not see the shark. They saw a dolphin. It was long and gray, but it had a friendly face and a round nose. It was not a shark. It was a nice animal.
+
+"That is not a shark, Lily and Max. That is a dolphin. Dolphins are not scary. They are smart and gentle. They do not want to taste you. They want to play with you." mom said.
+
+"Really? Are you sure?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, really. Come on, let's go and say hello to the dolphin. Maybe it will let you touch it or give you a ride." dad said.
+
+Lily and Max were curious. They followed their mom and dad to the water. They saw the dolphin come closer. It made a funny sound and smiled at them. They touched its smooth skin and felt its warm breath. They laughed and clapped. The dolphin liked them. It let them hold its fin and took them for a ride. They had fun.
+
+Lily and Max were not scared of the dolphin anymore. They were happy. They learned that not all long, gray things in the water were sharks. Some were dolphins. And dolphins were nice.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers and trees and birds. They also saw a bee flying from one flower to another. Tom wanted to follow the bee and see where it went. He said to Lily, "Look, a bee! Let's follow it!"
+
+Lily was scared of the bee. She said, "No, Tom, don't follow the bee! It might sting you! Bees are bad!"
+
+Tom said, "No, Lily, bees are not bad! Bees are good! They make honey and help the flowers grow! Bees are humble and hard-working! Come on, follow me!"
+
+Tom ran after the bee, but Lily stayed behind. She cried and called for their mom. Mom heard Lily and came to her. She asked, "What's wrong, Lily? Where is Tom?"
+
+Lily said, "Tom followed a bee and I don't know where he is! I'm scared, Mom!"
+
+Mom said, "Don't worry, Lily, we'll find Tom. Bees are not bad, but they can be dangerous if you bother them. Tom should not follow the bee too close. Let's go and look for him."
+
+Mom and Lily walked around the park and saw Tom near a big tree. He was smiling and holding a jar of honey. He said, "Look, Mom, look, Lily! I followed the bee and it led me to a hive! The bee was nice and gave me some honey! It was yummy!"
+
+Mom said, "Tom, I'm glad you're safe and happy, but you should not follow the bee so far. You could have gotten lost or hurt. Bees are humble and hard-working, but they also need their space and respect. Next time, just watch the bee from a distance and enjoy its beauty."
+
+Tom said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I didn't mean to scare you or Lily. I just wanted to see the bee and learn more about it. I'll be more careful next time. Can I keep the honey, please?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you can keep the honey, but you have to share it with Lily. She was worried about you and missed you. Can you say sorry to her and give her a hug?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, Mom, I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. Do you want some honey?"
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, Tom. Yes, I want some honey. Thank you for sharing."
+
+Mom said, "That's good, Tom and Lily. Now let's go home and have some toast with honey. And let's thank the bee for its humble and hard-working gift."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket and a small hose. They wanted to fill the bucket with water and make a splash.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can fill the bucket fast!" Ben said. He turned on the hose and pointed it at the bucket.
+
+"Wow, Ben, you are good!" Lily said. She clapped her hands and smiled.
+
+But the hose was too strong. The water sprayed everywhere. It made the bucket overflow. It made Lily and Ben wet. It made the grass wet. It made the flowers wet.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, we are wet!" Lily said. She shivered and frowned.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to make you wet!" Ben said. He turned off the hose and dropped it. He felt bad.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the porch. They saw their mom. She had a big towel. She wrapped it around them and gave them a hug.
+
+"It's okay, Lily and Ben, you are just wet. You can dry off soon. You were having fun, right?" Mom said.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we were having fun. We were filling the bucket and making a splash. But the hose was too strong. It made us wet. We are sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. "You don't have to be sorry, Lily and Ben. You were just playing. Playing is good. But next time, be careful with the hose. It can be too strong. And don't forget to water the flowers. They like water too," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They hugged Mom back. They felt warm and happy. They liked playing. They liked water. They liked Mom. They liked hugs.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bus. The bus has many colors and pictures. It looks funny.
+
+"Where is the bus going?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe to the city," Sue says.
+
+"Can we go to the city?" Tom says.
+
+"No, we can't. We have to stay here. Mom and Dad will be angry if we go away," Sue says.
+
+But Tom is curious. He wants to see the city. He runs to the bus. He gets on the bus. He does not see Sue. He forgets Sue.
+
+The bus starts to move. It goes fast. It goes out of the park. It goes to the city. Tom looks out of the window. He sees many cars and buildings and people. He feels scared. He wants Sue. He wants to go back.
+
+"Sue! Sue! Where are you?" Tom cries.
+
+But Sue is not on the bus. Sue is in the park. She sees the bus leave. She sees Tom on the bus. She feels sad. She wants Tom. She wants to help him.
+
+"Tom! Tom! Come back!" Sue shouts.
+
+But Tom does not hear her. He is too far away. He is in the city. He is lost. He is alone. He is sorry. He forgets the city. He remembers Sue.
+Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different shapes and colors. They can make houses, towers, cars and animals with their blocks. Sometimes they share their blocks and sometimes they want their own.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben decide to make a big castle with their blocks. They work together and use many blocks. They make walls, doors, windows and a flag. They are happy with their castle. They want to include their toys in their castle. They bring their dolls, cars, bears and dinosaurs. They put them inside and outside the castle. They pretend they are the king and the queen of the castle.
+
+But then, Ben sees a colorful block that Sara has. He likes the block. He wants the block. He takes the block from Sara. Sara is angry. She wants her block back. She pulls the block from Ben. Ben pulls harder. Sara pulls harder. They pull and pull and pull. The block breaks. The castle falls. The toys scatter. Sara and Ben cry.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what happened. She sees the broken block, the fallen castle and the crying children. She is sad. She hugs Sara and Ben. She tells them to say sorry to each other. She tells them to share their blocks and their toys. She tells them to play nicely and include each other. She helps them fix the block and the castle. She gives them a kiss.
+
+Sara and Ben say sorry to each other. They hug each other. They share their blocks and their toys. They play nicely and include each other. They are happy again. They enjoy their colorful castle and their toys. They are the king and the queen of the castle. They smile.
+Lily was a lonely woman. She lived in a small house with no friends or family. She liked to sing, but no one heard her. She wished she had someone to listen and applaud.
+
+One day, she saw a poster on a wall. It said: "Sing for fun! Come to the park and join the choir. Everyone is welcome!" Lily felt a spark of hope. She decided to go to the park and try to sing with the choir.
+
+She walked to the park and saw a group of people standing in a circle. They were holding books with songs. A man with a big smile waved at her and said: "Hello! Are you here to sing with us? Come and join us, we are about to start!"
+
+Lily felt shy, but she nodded and walked towards the circle. The man gave her a book and said: "We are singing this song today. It is easy and fun. Just follow me and the others." He pointed to a page with words and pictures.
+
+Lily looked at the book and tried to read the words. She recognized some of them, like "sun" and "sky" and "love". She opened her mouth and sang along with the man and the others. She felt happy and free. She sang louder and louder, with joy and passion.
+
+The song ended and everyone clapped their hands. They looked at Lily and smiled. They said: "Wow! You have a beautiful voice! You sang very well! We are so glad you came!" Lily felt a warm feeling in her heart. She smiled back and said: "Thank you! I had a lot of fun! Can I sing with you again?" They said: "Of course! You are part of the choir now! Come back next week and we will sing more songs!" Lily nodded and hugged the man and the others. She felt like she had found new friends. She was not lonely anymore. She had someone to listen and applaud.
+Anna and Ben were twins who loved Halloween. They wanted to make a pumpkin face to put outside their house. Their mom helped them cut a big hole in a pumpkin and take out the seeds. Then they used a knife to make eyes, a nose and a mouth.
+
+"Can I twist the knife, mom?" Ben asked. He wanted to make the mouth look scary.
+
+"Be careful, Ben. The knife is sharp. Twist it slowly and gently," mom said.
+
+Anna watched as Ben twisted the knife and made a big grin on the pumpkin. She thought it looked amazing.
+
+"Wow, Ben, you did a great job!" she said.
+
+"Thank you, Anna. Do you want to twist the knife too?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, please. I want to make the eyes look funny," Anna said.
+
+She took the knife and twisted it to make the eyes look different. One was round and one was oval. She thought it looked amazing too.
+
+"Look, mom, we made a pumpkin face!" Anna and Ben said together.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. "You did, indeed. It looks amazing. Let's put a candle inside and see how it glows in the dark," she said.
+
+They put a candle inside the pumpkin and turned off the lights. The pumpkin face shone brightly and made funny shadows on the wall. Anna and Ben laughed and clapped their hands.
+
+They were very happy with their pumpkin face. They couldn't wait to show it to their friends on Halloween night.
+Sam and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with marbles in the park. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. They liked to roll them, swap them, and make patterns with them.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Leo. He had a big bag of marbles. He walked up to Sam and Mia and said, "Hello, can I play with you?"
+
+Sam and Mia looked at Leo's marbles. They were very attractive. They had shiny and sparkly patterns on them. They looked like jewels. Sam and Mia wanted to have some of Leo's marbles.
+
+"Sure, you can play with us," Sam said. "But you have to give us some of your marbles first."
+
+Leo frowned. He did not want to give away his marbles. He liked them very much. He said, "No, these are my marbles. I don't want to share them."
+
+Sam and Mia were angry. They thought Leo was mean and greedy. They said, "Fine, then you can't play with us. Go away!"
+
+Leo sighed. He felt sad and lonely. He wished he had friends to play with. He wondered if he had made a mistake. He thought, maybe I should have shared my marbles. Maybe then they would have liked me.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big box of silver coins that they pretended were treasure. They wanted to hide the treasure from the pirates, so they looked for a good spot to bury it.
+
+"Let's dig a hole under the tree," Tom said. "No one will find it there."
+
+"OK," Lily agreed. She took a shovel and started to dig. Tom helped her with his hands. They made a deep hole and put the box inside. Then they covered it with dirt and leaves.
+
+"Shh, don't tell anyone," Tom whispered. "This is our secret."
+
+They smiled and high-fived each other. They were very happy with their treasure.
+
+But then, Lily felt something sting her hand. She looked and saw a red spot. She had cut herself on a sharp coin.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow," she cried. "It hurts, it hurts."
+
+Tom saw her hand and felt sorry for her. He ran to get a band-aid from his mom. He came back and wrapped it around her hand.
+
+"Does it feel better?" he asked.
+
+"A little," Lily said. "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend."
+
+They hugged and went back to playing. They forgot about the treasure and the pirates. They only cared about each other.
+Sara loved animals. She had a dog, a cat, and a fish. She liked to play with them and feed them. But sometimes she was naughty and did not listen to her mom.
+
+One day, her mom told her to clean her room. Sara did not want to clean. She wanted to watch TV. She said no to her mom and ran to the living room. Her mom was angry and said, "Sara, if you do not clean your room, you will be punished. You will not watch TV or play with your animals for a week."
+
+Sara did not care. She turned on the TV and watched her favorite show. She laughed and sang along. She did not hear her mom coming. Her mom was very angry. She turned off the TV and said, "Sara, you are a bad girl. You did not do what I told you. Now you will be punished. You will go to your room and stay there. You will not watch TV or play with your animals for a week."
+
+Sara was sad and scared. She cried and said, "Mom, please, I am sorry. I love you. I love my animals. Please do not punish me." But her mom did not listen. She took her by the hand and led her to her room. She closed the door and said, "You will stay here until you learn to obey. Maybe then you will appreciate your animals more."
+
+Sara sat on her bed and sobbed. She missed her dog, her cat, and her fish. She wished she had cleaned her room. She looked out the window and saw a tall man walking by. He had a big bag on his shoulder. He looked at her house and smiled. He had a plan. He was a bad man. He liked to steal animals. He saw Sara's dog, her cat, and her fish. He wanted them for himself. He waited until it was dark. Then he sneaked into the backyard. He grabbed the dog, the cat, and the fish. He put them in his bag. He ran away.
+
+Sara did not know what happened. She slept on her bed. She had a bad dream. She dreamed that her animals were gone. She woke up and screamed. She ran to the living room. She looked for her animals. She did not see them. She saw a note on the table. It said, "I have your animals. If you want them back, you have to pay me a lot of money. Ha ha ha. The tall man."
+
+Sara was shocked and scared. She did not have a lot of money. She did not know what to do. She ran to her mom and showed her the note. Her mom was shocked and scared too. She hugged Sara and said, "Oh, Sara, I am so sorry. This is terrible. We have to call the police. Maybe they can help us. Maybe they can find the tall man and get our animals back."
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Mom, I am so sorry. I was a bad girl. I did not clean my room. I did not listen to you. I did not deserve my animals. I love them so much. Please forgive me."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "Sara, I forgive you. You are a good girl. You made a mistake. We all make mistakes. But we have to learn from them. I love you too. And I love our animals. We will do everything we can to get them back. I hope the tall man will be punished for what he did. He is a very bad man."
+Lily loved to eat pepper. She liked how it made her mouth hot and her nose run. She put pepper on everything: eggs, cheese, soup, even ice cream. Her mom and dad did not like pepper. They said it was too spicy and bad for her tummy.
+
+One day, Lily found a huge pepper in the kitchen. It was red and shiny and smelled good. She wanted to try it. She took a big bite and waited for the heat. But instead of heat, she felt pain. The pepper was very, very spicy. It burned her tongue and throat and made her eyes water. She spit out the pepper and ran to the sink. She drank a lot of water, but it did not help.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, help me!" she cried. "The pepper hurts me!"
+
+Mommy came and saw the huge pepper on the floor. She knew it was a hot pepper, not a regular pepper. She hugged Lily and gave her some milk. She said, "Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. That pepper is not for eating. It is for cooking. It is very, very hot. You have to be careful with peppers. Some are mild, some are spicy, and some are hot."
+
+Lily nodded and drank the milk. She felt better, but her mouth still stung. She said, "Mommy, I don't like hot peppers. I only like spicy peppers. But maybe I should quit eating so much pepper. It is not good for me."
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "That's a good idea, Lily. Pepper is good in moderation, but too much can hurt you. Why don't we try some other flavors, like cinnamon, or vanilla, or lemon?"
+
+Lily agreed and said, "OK, Mommy. I will try new flavors. But can I still have a little pepper on my eggs?"
+
+Mommy laughed and said, "Sure, Lily. A little pepper on your eggs is fine. But no more hot peppers, OK?"
+
+Lily said, "OK, Mommy. No more hot peppers. I learned my lesson." She hugged Mommy and said, "I love you, Mommy. Thank you for helping me."
+
+Mommy said, "I love you too, Lily. You're welcome. Now let's go and have some lunch. How about some cheese and crackers, and some apple juice?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please. That sounds yummy. And maybe a little pepper on the cheese?"
+
+Mommy said, "OK, Lily. A little pepper on the cheese. But not too much, OK?"
+
+Lily said, "OK, Mommy. Not too much. Just a little." She smiled and followed Mommy to the table. She was happy and hungry. She liked to try new flavors, but she still loved pepper.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were heroes and villains. Lila was a hero and Ben was a villain. They used sticks and stones as weapons.
+
+One day, they found a big, shiny, round thing in the grass. It looked like a ball, but it had buttons and lights on it. They did not know what it was, but they thought it was cool. Ben wanted to have it as his weapon. He said it would make him stronger and smarter.
+
+Lila did not want to give it to him. She said it was not fair. She said they should share it or leave it alone. She said it might be dangerous or bad. She said it was unusual and they did not know where it came from.
+
+They started to fight over the big, shiny, round thing. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not listen to each other. They did not have fun.
+
+Then, the big, shiny, round thing made a loud noise. It opened up and a small, green, furry creature came out. It had big eyes and a long tail. It looked at Lila and Ben and smiled. It said hello in a funny voice.
+
+Lila and Ben were scared and surprised. They dropped the big, shiny, round thing and ran away. They did not want to play with it anymore. They did not want to play with each other anymore. They learned that some weapons are not good to have. They learned that some things are better to leave alone. They learned that unusual does not always mean cool.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they see a big sheep in the field next to the garden. The sheep has a lot of wool on its back.
+
+"Look, Sue, a sheep!" Tom says. "I want to touch its wool. It looks so soft and warm."
+
+"No, Tom, don't go there!" Sue says. "The sheep belongs to the farmer. He might get angry if you bother his sheep. And the sheep might bite you or kick you. It is not safe."
+
+But Tom is nosy. He does not listen to Sue. He runs to the fence and climbs over it. He wants to touch the sheep's wool. He thinks it will be fun.
+
+"Tom, come back!" Sue shouts. "You are being silly. The farmer will see you. The sheep will hurt you. Please, come back!"
+
+But Tom does not hear Sue. He is too busy chasing the sheep. The sheep is scared of Tom. It runs away from him. It makes loud noises. It tries to prevent Tom from touching its wool.
+
+The farmer hears the sheep's noises. He looks out of his window. He sees Tom in his field. He sees Tom trying to catch his sheep. He is very angry. He grabs his stick and runs to the field. He yells at Tom.
+
+"Hey, you, get away from my sheep!" the farmer shouts. "What are you doing here? This is my land. You are trespassing. You are scaring my sheep. You are a bad boy. I will teach you a lesson."
+
+The farmer reaches the fence. He climbs over it. He runs to Tom. He swings his stick at Tom. He hits Tom on the head. Tom falls to the ground. He cries out in pain. He bleeds from his wound. He is very hurt.
+
+Sue sees what happens. She is terrified. She runs to Tom. She tries to help him. She calls for help. She hopes someone will hear her. She hopes Tom will be okay. She is very sad. She wishes Tom had listened to her. She wishes Tom had not been so nosy. She wishes they had not seen the sheep. She wishes they had stayed in the garden. She wishes they had played with their toys. She wishes they had been happy.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to play in the mud. She liked to make pies and castles and pretend she was a queen. But she did not like to bathe. She said it was boring and cold and made her hair wet.
+
+One day, she went to visit her grandpa, who lived near a mill. The mill was a big house with a wheel that turned the water. Grandpa showed her how the mill made flour from wheat. He said it was a brilliant mill, because it helped people make bread and cakes.
+
+Lily was curious and wanted to see more. She climbed up the stairs and looked at the machines and the sacks of flour. She touched everything and got very dirty. She did not notice that some flour got into her hair and eyes.
+
+When she came down, grandpa was waiting for her. He smiled and said, "You look like a snowman, Lily. You need a bath." Lily frowned and said, "No, I don't. I like being dirty. It's fun."
+
+Grandpa shook his head and said, "Being dirty is not fun, Lily. It can make you sick and itchy. And it can ruin your clothes and hair. You have to bathe every day to stay healthy and clean. It's a good habit."
+
+Lily did not want to listen. She ran away and hid behind a tree. She thought grandpa was mean and silly. She wanted to play more in the mud and the flour.
+
+But then, she felt something tickle her nose. She sneezed and sneezed and sneezed. The flour in her hair and eyes made her nose run and her eyes water. She felt miserable and unhappy. She wished she had listened to grandpa and bathed.
+
+She came out from behind the tree and said, "I'm sorry, grandpa. You were right. I need a bath. Can you help me?"
+
+Grandpa hugged her and said, "Of course, Lily. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and wash you up. You'll feel much better."
+
+Lily nodded and followed grandpa. She realized that bathing was not so bad after all. It made her feel fresh and comfortable. And it made her hair shiny and soft. She thanked grandpa and said, "You have a brilliant mill, grandpa. But you also have a brilliant bath."
+Anna and Ben were twins who loved to play soccer. They had a big ball and a small goal in their backyard. Every day, they would kick the ball and try to score. Anna was good at kicking the ball hard and fast. Ben was good at catching the ball and throwing it back.
+
+One day, their mom said they could go to the park and play with other kids. They were very happy and ran to get their ball and shoes. Mom drove them to the park and found a nice spot under a tree. She gave them a hug and said, "Have fun, but be nice to the other kids. And don't go too far. I'll be right here."
+
+Anna and Ben ran to the field where some kids were playing soccer. They asked if they could join. The kids said yes, but they had to share their ball. Anna and Ben agreed. They took turns kicking and catching the ball with the other kids. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But there was one kid who was not nice. His name was Max. He was bigger than the other kids and he had a new ball. He did not want to share his ball. He said it was his and his alone. He kicked his ball very hard and tried to score all the time. He did not pass the ball to anyone. He pushed and shouted at the other kids. He was a spoiled kid.
+
+Anna and Ben did not like Max. They tried to avoid him. But Max saw their ball and wanted it. He ran to their ball and kicked it away. He said, "This is my ball now. It's better than yours. You can have my old ball. It's old and dirty."
+
+Anna and Ben were very angry. They ran to their ball and tried to get it back. But Max was stronger and faster. He kicked their ball again and again. He laughed and said, "You can't catch me. You can't catch your ball. You are too slow and weak."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sad and hurt. They looked at their mom. She saw what was happening and came to help them. She said, "Max, that's not nice. That's not your ball. That's Anna and Ben's ball. You have to give it back. And you have to say sorry."
+
+Max did not listen. He said, "No, it's mine. I don't care. I don't say sorry. I do what I want."
+
+Mom said, "That's not how you play. That's not how you make friends. You have to share and be kind. If you don't, you can't play here anymore."
+
+Max still did not listen. He said, "I don't need friends. I don't need you. I only need my ball."
+
+Mom said, "Fine. Then you can go home. And take your ball with you. But you can't take Anna and Ben's ball. That's theirs. And they are staying here. They are playing nicely with the other kids. They are having fun."
+
+Max was surprised. He did not expect that. He looked at his ball and then at Anna and Ben's ball. He recognized that his ball was new and shiny, but Anna and Ben's ball was old and worn. He realized that his ball was not better than theirs. It was just a ball. And a ball was not worth losing friends. He felt sorry for what he did. He said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Can I give your ball back? Can I play with you?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They saw that Max was sincere. They decided to forgive him. They said, "Okay. You can give our ball back. You can play with us. But you have to share and be nice. And you have to use your words, not your feet."
+
+Max nodded. He gave their ball back. He said, "Thank you. I will share and be nice. I will use my words, not my feet. Can we be friends?"
+
+Anna and Ben smiled. They said, "Yes, we can be friends. Come on, let's play."
+
+They kicked and caught the ball together. They passed the ball to each other. They scored and cheered. They had fun.
+
+Mom watched them from the tree. She was proud of Anna and Ben. She was glad that Max learned his lesson. She thought, "Maybe he's not so spoiled after all. Maybe he just needed some friends." She smiled and said, "Good job, kids. Good job."
+Sam woke up early. He was excited. Today was his birthday. He jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen. He saw a big box on the table. It had a bow and a card.
+
+"Mom, Dad, what is this?" he asked.
+
+"Happy birthday, Sam!" Mom and Dad said. "This is a special gift for you. But first, you have to eat your breakfast."
+
+Sam nodded. He liked breakfast. He poured some cereal in a bowl and added some milk. He took a big spoon and ate. He drank some juice. He was hungry.
+
+"Can I open my gift now?" he asked.
+
+"Sure, go ahead," Mom and Dad said. They smiled.
+
+Sam tore the paper and opened the box. He gasped. Inside was a toy train. It had many cars and tracks. It could make sounds and lights.
+
+"Wow, thank you, Mom and Dad!" he said. "This is the best gift ever!"
+
+He hugged them and kissed them. He was very happy. He wanted to play with his train. He was excited.
+Tom and Lily wanted to play soccer with their friends. They had a ball and a big field. But they did not have any goals. How could they know who scored?
+
+"Let's make some goals with sticks and rocks," Tom said. He found some sticks and rocks and put them on the ground. "This is one goal. And that is another goal."
+
+But Lily was not happy. She looked at the goals and shook her head. "They are not the same. One goal is bigger than the other. That is not fair."
+
+Tom did not know what to do. He wanted to play soccer, but he also wanted to make Lily happy. He looked around and saw a tape measure. His dad used it to measure things. Maybe he could use it too.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a tape measure. We can use it to measure the goals. Then we can make them the same. Do you want to help me?" Tom asked.
+
+Lily nodded. She liked to measure things. She took one end of the tape measure and held it on one stick. Tom took the other end and stretched it to the other stick. They looked at the numbers on the tape measure.
+
+"This goal is six feet wide," Tom said.
+
+They did the same for the other goal. They looked at the numbers again.
+
+"This goal is seven feet wide," Lily said.
+
+"That is not the same. We need to make this goal smaller. Let's move this stick closer to the other stick," Tom said.
+
+They moved the stick and measured again.
+
+"Now this goal is six feet wide too. They are the same. We can play soccer now," Lily said.
+
+They smiled and ran to their friends. They asked them to join their game. They had two teams of four players each. They had a lot of fun playing soccer. They did not care who scored. They just wanted to have fun. They were happy that they had a tape measure and that they could make their goals fair.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. They had a big bucket and a shovel to make sand castles. One day, they saw something shiny in the sand. They dug it out and saw that it was a toy alligator. It was green and had sharp teeth and a long tail.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tim said. "It looks like a real alligator!"
+
+"Can I hold it?" Sam asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It might bite you!" Tim joked.
+
+Sam took the toy alligator and pretended to make it talk. "Hello, I am a wild alligator. I live in the swamp and eat fish and frogs. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Tim laughed and played along. "Sure, we can be friends. But you have to be nice and share your food with us."
+
+"OK, I will share. But you have to play with me and not leave me alone." Sam said.
+
+They played with the toy alligator for a while, making it swim and roar and chase the birds. They had a lot of fun. But then they heard their mom calling them.
+
+"Tim, Sam, it's time to go home. Come on, boys, pack up your things."
+
+They ran to their mom, but they forgot to take the toy alligator with them. They left it in the sand.
+
+The next day, they came back to the park. They looked for the toy alligator, but they could not find it. They asked the other kids, but no one had seen it.
+
+"Maybe someone took it." Tim said.
+
+"Or maybe it ran away." Sam said.
+
+They felt sad and missed their toy alligator. They wished they had buried it in the sand to keep it safe. They hoped it would come back to them someday.
+Sam and Lily were going on a journey with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see the big zoo with many animals. They packed their bags and got in the car.
+
+But the journey was terrible. The car made a loud noise and stopped. Mom and dad looked worried. They said they had to wait for help. Sam and Lily were bored and hungry. They wanted to see the animals.
+
+They started to shout. "We want to go to the zoo! We want to go to the zoo!" They shouted louder and louder. Mom and dad tried to calm them down. They said they had to be patient and quiet.
+
+But Sam and Lily did not listen. They kept shouting. They did not see the big truck that was coming. The truck driver did not see them either. He was looking at his phone.
+
+The truck hit the car. There was a big crash. Sam and Lily stopped shouting. They were scared and hurt. Mom and dad were scared and hurt too.
+
+The help came. They took them to the hospital. They said they were lucky to be alive. Sam and Lily learned a lesson. They learned that shouting is not good. They learned that they have to listen to mom and dad. They learned that the journey is not as important as being safe and happy.
+Lily and Tom were very excited. They were going to see fireworks with their mom and dad. They put on their warm coats and hats and got in the car. Mom drove them to the park, where many people were waiting for the show.
+
+"Look, mom, there's a big wheel!" Tom said, pointing at the Ferris wheel. "Can we go on it?"
+
+"Maybe later, sweetie. First, let's find a good spot to watch the fireworks," mom said. She parked the car and they walked to a grassy hill. Dad spread a blanket on the ground and they sat down.
+
+"Are the fireworks going to start soon?" Lily asked, looking at the sky. It was dark and clear, with many stars.
+
+"Yes, any minute now. Listen, they're playing music," dad said. He hugged Lily and Tom and smiled. "Are you ready for a surprise?"
+
+Suddenly, a loud bang made them jump. Then, a bright red firework exploded in the air, making a beautiful shape. Lily and Tom gasped and clapped their hands. They admired the firework and its colors. Then, another firework went off, this time blue and green. And another, and another, until the sky was filled with sparkling lights and sounds.
+
+"Wow, they're so pretty!" Lily said. "I like the pink ones best. What about you, Tom?"
+
+"I like the yellow ones. They look like stars," Tom said. "Thank you, mom and dad, for bringing us here. This is the best night ever!"
+
+"You're welcome, my loves. We're happy to share this with you," mom said. She kissed them on their cheeks and wrapped them in the blanket. They watched the fireworks until the end, feeling warm and cozy. They admired the show and each other. They were a happy family.
+Tommy loves to sing. He has a modern microphone that can make his voice sound funny or loud or soft. He likes to pretend he is a star on a big stage and sing for his toys and his family.
+
+One day, Tommy was singing his favorite song when he tripped over his microphone cord and fell down. He hurt his knee and it started to bleed. He cried and ran to his mom. His mom hugged him and said, "Oh, Tommy, I'm sorry you hurt yourself. Let me see your knee."
+
+She took him to the bathroom and cleaned his wound with water and soap. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. She said, "There, that will help it heal. You are very brave, Tommy. Do you want some ice cream?"
+
+Tommy nodded and smiled. He said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can I still sing with my microphone?"
+
+His mom said, "Of course you can, honey. But be careful not to trip again. And maybe you can sing a song about how you healed your knee."
+
+Tommy liked that idea. He went back to his room and picked up his microphone. He sang a song about how his mom helped him and how he felt better. He sang with joy and confidence. He was happy and proud. He was a star.
+Anna liked to repeat what her big sister said. She thought it was fun to copy her words and sounds. But her big sister did not like it. She said Anna was annoying and boring.
+
+One day, her big sister was trying on new shoes. She had many shoes of different colors and shapes. She wanted to find the best ones for her party. She asked Anna to help her choose.
+
+Anna saw a pair of shoes that were terrible. They were brown and ugly and had holes in them. They looked like old socks. Anna thought they were funny. She picked them up and said, "These are the best shoes for you. They are so pretty and nice. You should wear them to the party."
+
+Her big sister was angry. She snatched the shoes from Anna and threw them away. She said, "Stop repeating me! You are not funny. You are silly and rude. Go away and leave me alone."
+
+Anna was sad. She did not understand why her big sister was so mean. She liked to repeat her because she loved her. She wanted to make her happy and laugh. She did not want to make her angry and cry. She wished her big sister would like her too.
+One day, a tall pig named Ben wanted to play with his friends. He saw a big box of toys and ran to it. He liked to match the toys by their colors and shapes. He found a red car, a red ball, a red hat, and a red apple. He put them all together and smiled.
+
+"Look at me!" he said. "I can match the toys so well. I am the best at matching. Can you do it too?"
+
+He saw a small pig named Lily. She was holding a yellow duck and a blue truck. She looked at Ben and shook her head.
+
+"No, I can't match the toys like you," she said. "But I can make them go vroom and quack. That is more fun. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben frowned. He did not like Lily's toys. He thought they were silly and boring. He wanted to match the toys by himself.
+
+"No, I don't want to play with you," he said. "Your toys are not the same. They don't match. You are not good at matching. Go away!"
+
+Lily felt sad. She liked Ben and wanted to be his friend. She walked away with her toys and looked for someone else to play with.
+
+She saw a big pig named Sam. He was holding a green frog and a purple star. He looked at Lily and smiled.
+
+"Hi, Lily," he said. "I like your toys. They are very nice. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked Sam and his toys. She thought they were fun and colorful. She wanted to play with him.
+
+"Yes, I want to play with you," she said. "Your toys are very nice too. They don't have to match. They can go ribbit and twinkle. That is more fun."
+
+Sam and Lily played together happily. They made their toys go vroom, quack, ribbit, and twinkle. They laughed and had a good time.
+
+Ben watched them from afar. He felt lonely and bored. He realized that he had been mean to Lily and missed a chance to make a friend. He wished he had been nicer and more open-minded. He learned that matching is not the only way to play. He learned that different toys can be fun too. He learned that being friendly is better than being proud. He decided to say sorry to Lily and ask her to play with him.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't judge others by their differences. Be kind and respectful. Try new things and have fun. Friendship is more important than being the best.
+Sara likes to move. She likes to move her arms and legs and head. She likes to move fast and slow and in circles. She likes to move with music. She likes to dance.

+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a red car and a blue bike. They take turns to ride them.
+
+One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up and down the hill. Tom says, "I will go first. I will zoom with the car. Watch me!" He puts on his helmet and gets in the car. He pushes the pedal and the car goes fast. He zooms up the hill and down the hill. He feels the wind in his hair. He laughs and says, "That was fun!"
+
+Mia says, "My turn! I will zoom with the bike. Watch me!" She puts on her helmet and gets on the bike. She pedals hard and the bike goes fast. She zooms up the hill and down the hill. She feels the sun on her face. She smiles and says, "That was fun!"
+
+They see a patch of flowers. They stop and get off. They see many colors and shapes. They see a yellow flower with a round center and many petals. Mia says, "Look, a daisy! It is pretty!" She picks it and smells it. She says, "It smells nice!"
+
+Tom says, "Let me see!" He takes the daisy and touches it. He says, "It is smooth!" He rubs it on his cheek. He says, "It feels nice!"
+
+They decide to make a necklace with the daisies. They find a string and tie the flowers together. They put the necklace around their necks. They look at each other and say, "We look nice!"
+
+They go back to their car and bike. They zoom some more. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They are friends.
+Sam was a stubborn kid. He did not like to do what his mom and dad told him. He liked to play with his toys all day and make a big mess. He did not like to share, or say sorry, or clean up.
+
+One day, his mom and dad had a surprise for him. They said they were going to the zoo to see the animals. Sam loved the zoo. He wanted to see the lions, and the monkeys, and the elephants. He was very excited. He ran to his room to get his hat and his backpack.
+
+But when he got to his room, he saw that it was very dirty. There were toys and clothes and books everywhere. His mom and dad followed him and said, "Sam, you have to remove some of these things from your room. You have too many toys. You can choose some to keep, and some to give away to other kids who need them. Then you have to put them in these boxes. And you have to put your clothes and books in their places too. If you do that, we can go to the zoo. But if you don't, we will stay home."
+
+Sam did not like this. He did not want to remove any of his toys. He wanted to keep them all. He did not want to give them away. He did not want to put them in boxes. He did not want to clean his room. He said, "No! No! No! I will not do it! I want to go to the zoo now!"
+
+His mom and dad were sad and angry. They said, "Sam, you are being very stubborn. You are not listening to us. You are not being nice. You have to learn to share and to be grateful for what you have. You have to learn to take care of your things and your space. You have to learn to follow the rules. If you don't, you will miss out on fun things like the zoo. And you will make us unhappy too."
+
+Sam did not care. He still said, "No! No! No!" He threw a tantrum. He kicked and screamed and cried. He threw his toys and his clothes and his books around. He made his room even dirtier. He made his mom and dad even sadder and angrier.
+
+They said, "Sam, this is enough. You have made your choice. You have to stay in your room. You cannot go to the zoo. Maybe next time you will be more cooperative and respectful. Maybe next time you will remove some of your toys and clean your room. Maybe next time you will be a good kid."
+
+They left him alone in his room. They closed the door. They went to the zoo without him. Sam was left with his toys and his mess. He was not happy. He was not excited. He was not proud. He was lonely and bored and sorry. He wished he had listened to his mom and dad. He wished he had removed some of his toys and cleaned his room. He wished he had gone to the zoo. He wished he had been a good kid.
+Lily and her mom were going to the park. Lily was excited. She liked to play on the swings and slide. She also liked to see the ducks and the flowers.
+
+"Mom, can we go now?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, sweetie, just let me finish my coffee." Mom said. She was drinking a hot brown drink that smelled good. Lily did not like coffee. She liked juice and milk.
+
+Mom put her cup in the sink and took Lily's hand. They walked to the park. Lily saw some other kids playing. She wanted to join them, but she felt shy.
+
+"Mom, can you play with me?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, honey, but why don't you try to make some friends?" Mom said. She wanted to encourage Lily to be brave and have fun.
+
+"But I don't know them." Lily said.
+
+"That's okay, you can say hello and ask them their names. Maybe they like the same things as you." Mom said.
+
+Lily looked at the kids. They were smiling and laughing. They had a ball and a kite. Lily liked ball and kite.
+
+"Okay, Mom, I will try." Lily said. She let go of Mom's hand and walked to the kids. She said hello and asked them their names. They said hello and told her their names. They asked her if she wanted to play with them. Lily said yes. She was happy.
+
+Mom watched Lily play with the kids. She was proud of her. She smiled and drank her coffee. She was happy too.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to play in the garden. She liked to smell the flowers, chase the butterflies and dig in the dirt. One day, she saw a big, green frog sitting on a rock. She was curious and wanted to say hello.
+
+"Hi, frog," she said. "What are you doing here?"
+
+The frog looked at her and croaked. "I am waiting for the rain. It is too hot and dry for me. I need water to be happy."
+
+Lily felt sorry for the frog. She wanted to help him. She thought of something she could do. "I have an idea," she said. "You can come with me to the pond. There is a lot of water there. You can swim and splash and have fun. I recommend it."
+
+The frog liked the sound of that. He agreed to go with Lily. She picked him up gently and carried him to the pond. There, she put him down and watched him hop into the water. He looked very happy. He thanked Lily for her kindness.
+
+"You are welcome, frog," she said. "You are my new friend. Can I give you a name?"
+
+The frog nodded. He liked the idea of having a name. He asked Lily what she had in mind.
+
+"How about Mighty?" she said. "You are a mighty frog. You can jump very high and far. You are strong and brave."
+
+The frog smiled. He liked the name. He thought it suited him. He said yes to Lily.
+
+"Okay, then," she said. "You are Mighty, the frog. And I am Lily, the girl. We are friends."
+
+They were friends. They played together in the pond. They had a lot of fun. They were happy.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with many roots that they could climb on. One day, they found a shiny coin under a root. They were very happy and ran to show their mom.
+
+"Look, mom, we found money!" they said.
+
+"Wow, that's a lucky find!" mom said. "What do you want to do with it?"
+
+Lila and Ben thought for a while. They could buy candy, or a toy, or a book. But then they remembered their friend Sam, who was sick and had to stay in bed. They decided to be generous and spend the money on a gift for him.
+
+They went to the store and bought a teddy bear with a red bow. They wrapped it in paper and wrote a card that said "Get well soon, Sam. We miss you. Love, Lila and Ben."
+
+They walked to Sam's house and knocked on the door. Sam's mom opened it and smiled.
+
+"Hello, Lila and Ben. What a nice surprise. Come in, Sam will be happy to see you."
+
+They gave Sam the teddy bear and the card. Sam's eyes lit up and he hugged them.
+
+"Thank you, Lila and Ben. You are the best friends ever. This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me."
+
+Lila and Ben felt warm and happy. They knew they had made the right choice. They learned that being generous is better than being greedy, and that sharing is caring.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a tea set, a ball, a teddy bear and a truck. They liked to pretend they were having a tea party with their toys.
+
+"Would you like some tea, Mr. Bear?" Lila asked, holding a tiny cup.
+
+"Yes, please, Lila. You are very kind," Ben said, making a deep voice for the bear.
+
+Lila poured some water from the pot into the cup and passed it to Ben. Ben took the cup and pretended to sip the tea.
+
+"Mmm, this is very good tea. Thank you, Lila," Ben said.
+
+"You're welcome, Mr. Bear. Do you want some more?" Lila asked.
+
+"Yes, please. And can I have a cookie too?" Ben said.
+
+Lila nodded and passed him a plastic cookie from the plate. Ben pretended to bite the cookie and made a funny face.
+
+"Ow, this cookie is very tough. I can't eat it," Ben said.
+
+Lila laughed and said, "That's because it's not a real cookie, silly. It's a toy cookie. Here, have a real one." She reached for a bowl of cookies that her mom had left on the table.
+
+"Thank you, Lila. You are very nice," Ben said, taking a real cookie and biting it.
+
+"You're welcome, Ben. You are very fun," Lila said, smiling.
+
+They continued to play and share their tea and cookies, having a good time. They were very happy friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to be dancers. They wear colorful clothes and dance to music.
+
+They dance and dance until they are tired. Then they sit on the floor and drink water. They discuss their dance.
+
+"I like your dance, Lily. You are a good dancer. You jump high and spin fast," Ben says.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good dancer too. You move your arms and legs well. You make funny faces," Lily says.
+
+They smile at each other. They are happy.
+
+They hear a knock on the door. It is Lily's mom. She comes in and sees them.
+
+"Hello, Lily and Ben. What are you doing?" she asks.
+
+"We are dancers, mom. We dance to music. We have fun," Lily says.
+
+"That's nice, dear. Do you want to show me your dance?" Lily's mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They stand up and dance again. They show Lily's mom their dance.
+
+Lily's mom watches them. She claps her hands. She says, "You are very good dancers, Lily and Ben. You are creative and energetic. You make me happy."
+
+Lily and Ben hug Lily's mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are nice. We love you."
+
+They are happy. They are dancers. They are friends.
+Lily was sad. She missed her mom. Mom went to work and Lily stayed with grandma. Grandma was nice, but Lily wanted mom.
+
+"Grandma, when will mom come back?" Lily asked.
+
+"Soon, my dear. Mom is working hard to help people. She is very gifted. She is a doctor. Do you know what a doctor does?" Grandma said.
+
+Lily nodded. "A doctor makes people feel better. Mom makes people feel better. I want mom to make me feel better."
+
+Grandma hugged Lily. "I know, sweetie. I want mom to come back too. But we can comfort each other while we wait. Do you want to play with your toys? You have many toys. You have a doll, a ball, a car, a book, and a figure."
+
+Lily looked at her toys. She liked them all, but she liked the figure best. It was a figure of a doctor, like mom. It had a white coat, a stethoscope, and a smile. Lily picked up the figure and hugged it.
+
+"This is my mom. She is a doctor. She is gifted. She is coming back soon." Lily said.
+
+Grandma smiled. "Yes, she is. And she loves you very much. Just like I do. And just like your figure does. Why don't we make a pretend hospital for your figure and your doll? We can use the book as a bed, the ball as a medicine, and the car as an ambulance."
+
+Lily liked that idea. She and grandma played with the toys and made a pretend hospital. They had fun and laughed. Lily felt better. She still missed mom, but she was comforted by grandma and the figure. She knew mom would be proud of her. She knew mom would be back soon.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with pens and paper. They make drawings and write letters. They have fun.
+
+One day, Tom finds a big bottle of ink. It is black and shiny. Tom thinks it is cool. He wants to use it for his drawings. He does not ask Sam. He opens the bottle and pours some ink on his paper.
+
+"Look, Sam, look what I have!" Tom says. He shows his paper to Sam. It is all black and wet. Sam is not happy. He thinks Tom is silly.
+
+"Tom, that is not good. That is ink. It is not for drawing. It is for writing. And you need a little bit, not a lot. You are making a mess. And you are wasting ink. Ink is serious. You should not play with it." Sam says.
+
+Tom does not listen. He thinks Sam is boring. He pours more ink on his paper. He laughs. He thinks it is funny. He does not see that the ink is dripping on the floor. And on his clothes. And on Sam's clothes.
+
+"Tom, stop it! You are ruining everything. Look at the floor. Look at your clothes. Look at my clothes. They are all black and dirty. How will we clean them? How will we explain to our moms? They will be angry. They will be sad. They will not let us play with pens and paper anymore." Sam says.
+
+Tom looks. He sees the mess. He sees the ink. He sees Sam's face. He feels bad. He feels sorry. He realizes he was wrong. He was not cool. He was not funny. He was rude. He was foolish.
+
+"Sam, I am sorry. You are right. Ink is serious. It is not for playing. It is for writing. And I should have asked you. And I should have been careful. And I should have listened to you. Can you forgive me?" Tom says.
+
+Sam is still unhappy. But he is also kind. He is also a friend. He sees that Tom is sorry. He sees that Tom wants to fix things. He sees that Tom learned a lesson.
+
+"Tom, I forgive you. But we have to clean this mess. And we have to tell our moms. And we have to be more careful next time. And we have to respect ink. And we have to respect each other." Sam says.
+
+Tom and Sam hug. They are still friends. They get some water and some cloth. They try to clean the floor and their clothes. They hope their moms will understand. They hope their moms will still love them. They hope their moms will still let them play with pens and paper. But not with ink. Ink is serious.
+Lily liked to play with dolls. She had many dolls with different clothes and hair. She liked to make them look pretty and give them names. She had a style for each doll.
+
+One day, Lily went to visit her friend Mia. Mia also liked dolls, but she had fewer than Lily. Mia was not rich like Lily. She only had one doll with a torn dress and messy hair. She called her doll Anna.
+
+Lily saw Mia's doll and laughed. She said, "Your doll is ugly. She has no style. You should bring her to me. I can make her look better. I have more clothes and hair for dolls."
+
+Mia felt sad and angry. She loved her doll. She said, "No, Anna is my doll. She is not ugly. She is special. You cannot have her. Go away."
+
+Lily did not listen. She grabbed Anna from Mia and ran away. She said, "I will bring her to my house and change her. She will be mine."
+
+Mia cried and chased Lily. She wanted her doll back. She shouted, "Give me Anna. She is not yours. You are mean."
+
+But Lily was faster than Mia. She reached her house and slammed the door. She said, "Ha ha, I have Anna now. She will be my doll."
+
+She took Anna to her room and tried to put new clothes and hair on her. But Anna was not like Lily's dolls. She was old and fragile. When Lily pulled her hair, it came off. When Lily pushed her dress, it ripped. Anna was broken.
+
+Lily was shocked and scared. She did not want a broken doll. She did not like Anna anymore. She threw her in the trash. She said, "You are a bad doll. You have no style. You are worthless."
+
+She went to play with her other dolls. She forgot about Anna.
+
+But Mia did not forget. She came to Lily's house and knocked on the door. She asked Lily's mom, "Can I see Lily? I want to talk to her."
+
+Lily's mom said, "Sure, she is in her room. What do you want to talk to her about?"
+
+Mia said, "I want to talk to her about Anna. She took my doll and ran away. She hurt my feelings."
+
+Lily's mom was surprised and angry. She said, "What? She did that? That is very wrong. She should not take things that are not hers. She should be sorry. Come with me. We will talk to her."
+
+She took Mia to Lily's room and opened the door. She saw Lily playing with her dolls. She said, "Lily, what did you do to Mia's doll? Where is Anna?"
+
+Lily looked up and saw Mia and her mom. She felt guilty and afraid. She said, "I don't know. I don't have Anna. I don't want Anna."
+
+Mia saw the trash bin and ran to it. She saw Anna in the trash. She was broken and dirty. She cried and picked her up. She said, "Anna, my doll. What did you do to her? You are so mean. You broke her. You threw her away. You don't care about her."
+
+Lily's mom said, "Lily, how could you do this? This is very bad. You should not take things that are not yours. You should not hurt things that are not yours. You should not throw things that are not yours. You should be sorry. You should say sorry to Mia and Anna."
+
+Lily did not say sorry. She said, "I don't care. Anna is a bad doll. She has no style. She is worthless."
+
+Mia said, "No, Anna is a good doll. She has a style. She is priceless. She is my doll. And you are not my friend. You are a bad person. You have no style. You are worthless."
+
+She hugged Anna and left. She never played with Lily again. Lily was alone with her dolls. She was not happy. She was not rich. She was poor.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the attic. They liked to find old things and pretend they were new. Lily found a box of makeup. She opened it and saw many colors and brushes.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found makeup! Let's play dress up!" Lily said.
+
+Ben looked at the makeup and made a face. He did not like makeup. He liked cars and robots. He saw another box next to the makeup. He opened it and saw a mask. It was a scary mask. It had big teeth and red eyes. It looked like a monster.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a mask! Let's play scare!" Ben said.
+
+Lily looked at the mask and screamed. She did not like scary things. She liked flowers and dolls. She dropped the makeup and ran away.
+
+"Wait, Lily, it's just a mask! It's not real!" Ben said.
+
+He put on the mask and followed Lily. He wanted to make her laugh. He did not know the mask was old and rotten. It smelled bad and had bugs in it. He felt something crawl on his face. He screamed and took off the mask.
+
+"Yuck, yuck, yuck! This mask is rotten! It has bugs in it!" Ben said.
+
+He threw the mask away and ran after Lily. He wanted to hug her and say sorry. He did not want to play scare anymore. He wanted to play dress up with her. He hoped she would not be mad at him. He hoped she would still be his friend.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two stones for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. He looked very tidy.
+
+Then they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. The truck was coming to their street. It had a big shovel in front. It was going to clear the snow from the road. Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want the truck to hurt their snowman.
+
+They ran to their snowman and hugged him. They hoped the truck would not see them. They tried to be very quiet. They did not move. They did not make a sound. They freeze. They hoped the truck would go away.
+
+The truck came closer and closer. It stopped near their snowman. The driver saw them. He smiled. He did not want to hurt their snowman. He liked their snowman. He thought he was very tidy. He said hello to them. He told them he was sorry for the noise. He asked them if they wanted to see his truck.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They let go of their snowman. They followed the driver to his truck. He showed them his shovel and his horn. He let them sit in his seat. He let them press some buttons. They were very excited. They liked his truck. They thought it was a great sight.
+
+They thanked the driver for showing them his truck. They waved goodbye to him. He waved back. He drove away. He left their snowman alone. He did not hurt him. Lily and Ben ran back to their snowman. They hugged him again. They were very happy. They had a great day.
+Lila and Ben are playful twins. They like to run and jump and laugh. One day, they find a box of matches in the kitchen. They do not know what matches are for. They think they are toys.
+
+"Look, Lila, these are funny sticks. They have red hats," Ben says.
+
+"Let me see, Ben. Maybe they make noise. Let me try," Lila says.
+
+She takes a match and rubs it on the box. The match makes a spark and a flame. Lila is scared. She drops the match on the floor. The match burns the rug.
+
+"Uh-oh, Lila, you made fire. Fire is bad. Fire is hot. Fire can hurt us," Ben says.
+
+He runs to the sink and fills a cup with water. He throws the water on the match and the rug. The fire goes out. Lila and Ben are relieved.
+
+"Ben, we are sorry. We did not know matches make fire. We will not play with matches again," Lila says.
+
+They hear their mom coming. They hide the box of matches under the sofa. They stand in the corner and pretend to read a book. They hope their mom will not see the burnt rug. They hope their mom will not be angry. They hope their mom will still love them.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with a swing. Lily wants to try the swing. She runs to the tree and climbs on the swing.
+
+"Push me, Ben!" she says. "Push me high!"
+
+Ben is generous. He pushes Lily on the swing. Lily laughs and feels the wind in her hair. She likes the swing.
+
+"Can I try the swing too?" Ben asks. "I want to feel the wind."
+
+Lily nods. She is generous too. She jumps off the swing and lands on the grass. She gives the swing to Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Lily!" Ben says. He climbs on the swing and holds the rope.
+
+Lily pushes Ben on the swing. Ben smiles and feels the wind in his face. He likes the swing.
+
+But then, something bad happens. Ben's foot gets stuck in the rope. He can't move his foot. He feels scared.
+
+"Help, Lily!" he cries. "My foot is stuck! I can't get off!"
+
+Lily hears Ben. She runs to the tree and tries to help him. She pulls the rope and tries to free his foot. But the rope is tight and hard. She can't pull it.
+
+"Don't worry, Ben!" she says. "I will get help!"
+
+She runs to the park keeper. She tells him what happened. The park keeper is kind. He follows Lily to the tree. He has a big knife. He cuts the rope and frees Ben's foot.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" he asks. "Does your foot hurt?"
+
+Ben shakes his head. His foot is fine. He feels relieved.
+
+"Thank you, park keeper!" he says. "You saved me!"
+
+The park keeper smiles. He is happy to help.
+
+"You're welcome, Ben!" he says. "And thank you, Lily! You are a good friend!"
+
+Lily and Ben hug each other. They are happy. They are friends. They are generous.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. But it was also very high and steep. Ben wanted to try it, but Lily was scared.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go on the slide!" Ben said. "It's not dangerous, it's fun!"
+
+"No, Ben, it's too high and fast. I don't want to go. You go if you want, but I will stay here," Lily said.
+
+Ben ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He looked down and felt a little scared too. But he wanted to show Lily that he was brave. He sat on the slide and pushed himself down. He went very fast and felt the wind in his hair. He was happy and excited.
+
+But then he saw a big rock at the end of the slide. He tried to stop, but he couldn't. He hit the rock with his foot and fell off the slide. He cried out loud and felt a lot of pain.
+
+Lily heard Ben's cry and ran to him. She saw his foot was bleeding and swollen. She felt sorry for him and hugged him.
+
+"Ben, are you okay? I'm sorry you got hurt. I wish you didn't go on the slide," Lily said.
+
+"I'm not okay, Lily. It hurts a lot. I was silly to go on the slide. It was dangerous. I wish I listened to you," Ben said.
+
+Lily helped Ben to get up and walk to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw Ben's foot and took him to the doctor. The doctor gave him a bandage and a sticker. He said Ben would be fine, but he had to rest his foot for a few days.
+
+Ben and Lily learned a lesson that day. They learned that some things are too dangerous to try, and that they should listen to each other. They also learned that they loved each other very much, and that they could always help each other. They made a wish that they would always be together and have fun. But not on the big slide.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in their bedroom. They have many toys and books and a big bed.
+
+One day, they decide to play race cars. They use their toy cars and a long scarf. They tie the scarf to the bed and make a ramp. They take turns to push their cars down the ramp and see who is faster.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Lily says. She pushes her red car down the ramp. It zooms fast and lands on the floor.
+
+"Wow, Lily, your car is fast!" Max says. He pushes his blue car down the ramp. It also zooms fast, but it leans to the side and hits the wall.
+
+"Oh no, Max, your car is broken!" Lily says. She runs to pick up his car. She sees a dent and a scratch on it.
+
+"I'm sorry, Max. Do you want to play something else?" Lily asks.
+
+Max looks at his car and frowns. He is sad. He loves his car. He shakes his head.
+
+"No, I don't want to play. I want to fix my car." Max says.
+
+Lily hugs him and says, "Don't worry, Max. We can fix your car together. We can use some tape and some paint. It will be good as new."
+
+Max smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I love you."
+
+Lily says, "I love you too, Max. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and find some tape and paint."
+
+They hold hands and leave their bedroom. They are happy. They are twins.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they see a big yellow ball in the park. They both want the ball.
+
+"Can I have the ball?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily says.
+
+They start to pull the ball from each other. They are angry and loud.
+
+A big dog sees them. The dog likes balls too. The dog runs to them and barks. Tom and Lily are scared. They let go of the ball.
+
+The dog takes the ball in his mouth and runs away. Tom and Lily cry. They have no ball and no fun. They have a bad task. They have to say sorry and share.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to travel with Mom and Dad. They go to many places and see many things. They have a big map on the wall. They put stickers on the map to show where they have been.
+
+One day, they travel to a big zoo. They see lions, monkeys, elephants, and more. They are very happy and excited. They want to learn more about the animals.
+
+"Look, Ben, this is a giraffe. It has a long neck and spots. It can eat leaves from the trees," Lila says, pointing with her finger.
+
+"Wow, Lila, you are so smart. You know a lot about animals. How do you know?" Ben asks.
+
+"I read books, Ben. Books have words and pictures. They tell you many things. You can read books too. Mom and Dad can help you," Lila says.
+
+"OK, Lila, I want to read books too. I want to be smart like you. Maybe we can read a book about the zoo when we go home," Ben says.
+
+"Good idea, Ben. Let's do that. But first, let's see more animals. Come on, follow me," Lila says.
+
+Lila and Ben hold hands and run to the next cage. They have a lot of fun at the zoo. They travel and learn together. They are smart and happy twins.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers with the hose. Tom turned the tap and made the water come out. Lily held the hose and sprayed the water.
+
+"Look, Tom, I can make the water go high!" Lily said. She pointed the hose up and the water made a rainbow in the sun.
+
+"That's fun, Lily, but be careful. Don't spray the water on the bees. They don't like it and they might sting you," Tom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She liked the bees. They made honey and buzzed around the flowers. She moved the hose to another flower. But then she saw something red and shiny on the ground. It looked like a big berry.
+
+"Tom, what's that?" Lily asked. She dropped the hose and ran to the red thing.
+
+Tom followed her. He saw the red thing too. He knew what it was. It was a chili pepper. His dad grew them in a pot. His dad liked to eat them because they were spicy. But Tom didn't like them. They made his mouth hurt.
+
+"Lily, don't touch it! It's a chili pepper. It's spicy. It will make your mouth burn," Tom said.
+
+But Lily didn't hear him. She picked up the chili pepper and took a bite. She thought it would be sweet and juicy like a berry. But it wasn't. It was hot and bitter. It made her tongue feel like fire.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She dropped the chili pepper and ran to the hose. She put the hose in her mouth and turned the tap. She wanted to make the water increase and wash away the spicy taste.
+
+Tom ran to her and turned off the tap. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay?"
+
+Lily nodded. She spat out the water and said, "I'm okay, Tom. But I don't like chili peppers. They are too spicy. They are not for me."
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Me neither, Lily. They are not for us. Let's go inside and have some ice cream. That will make your mouth feel better."
+
+Lily smiled too and said, "Yes, let's go. Ice cream is good. It's sweet and cold. It's for us."
+
+They held hands and went inside. They left the hose and the chili pepper in the garden. They didn't want to play with them anymore.
+Tom and Lily are playing with blocks. They like to make shapes with the blocks. Tom makes a square with four blocks. Lily makes a circle with many blocks. They are happy.
+
+But then, Tom sees a triangle. He does not know what a triangle is. He has never seen a triangle before. He picks up the triangle and looks at it. He feels scared. He does not like the triangle.
+
+He runs to his mom and shows her the triangle. He says, "Mom, what is this? It is not a square. It is not a circle. It is bad. I do not like it."
+
+His mom smiles and hugs him. She says, "Tom, this is a triangle. It is a shape with three sides. It is not bad. It is different. You can make shapes with triangles too. Look, I will show you."
+
+She takes the triangle and puts it on the table. She takes two more triangles and puts them next to the first one. She says, "See, three triangles make a bigger triangle. And if you put four triangles together, you can make a square. And if you put six triangles together, you can make a hexagon. Do you know what a hexagon is?"
+
+Tom shakes his head. He does not know what a hexagon is. He is still scared of the triangle. He says, "Mom, I do not want to play with triangles. They are too sharp. They can hurt me. I only want to play with squares and circles. They are nice and round."
+
+His mom says, "Tom, triangles are not sharp. They are just blocks. They cannot hurt you. You can play with any shape you want. But you should not be afraid of triangles. They are fun and interesting. They can make many things. Do you want to try?"
+
+Tom looks at the triangle. He looks at his mom. He looks at Lily. Lily is playing with the circle. She does not care about the triangle. She is deaf. She cannot hear what Tom and his mom are saying. She is happy.
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He does not want to worry his mom. He does not want to be scared of the triangle. He wants to be happy like Lily. He says, "OK, mom. I will try. Maybe triangles are not so bad. Maybe they are fun and interesting. Can you show me more shapes with triangles?"
+
+His mom says, "Of course, Tom. I am glad you are brave. I will show you more shapes with triangles. And maybe you can show Lily too. Maybe she will like triangles as well. Come on, let's play with the blocks."
+
+Tom and his mom go back to the table. They play with the blocks. They make shapes with triangles. Tom learns what a hexagon is. He learns what a star is. He learns what a pyramid is. He is not scared of the triangle anymore. He is curious. He is happy. He shows Lily his shapes. Lily smiles and claps. She likes triangles too. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were animals. Lily was a bird and Tom was a lion. They made noises and ran around the trees.
+
+"Tweet, tweet, I am a bird. I can fly high in the sky," Lily said.
+
+"Roar, roar, I am a lion. I am fierce and strong. I can catch you, bird," Tom said.
+
+They chased each other and had fun. But then they saw a cat. The cat was black and white and had big green eyes. It was sitting on the fence and watching them.
+
+"Look, a cat!" Lily said. "Do you think it is a nice cat or a mean cat?"
+
+"I don't know. Let's guess," Tom said. "I guess it is a nice cat. It looks soft and cute."
+
+"I guess it is a mean cat. It looks sneaky and scary," Lily said.
+
+They decided to go closer and see. They walked slowly and quietly towards the fence. The cat saw them and hissed. It showed its teeth and claws. It was a mean cat!
+
+"Run, run, it is a mean cat! It is fierce and angry. It wants to scratch us," Lily said.
+
+"Run, run, it is a mean cat! It is not soft and cute. It is a bad cat," Tom said.
+
+They ran away from the fence and back to the house. They were scared and sad. They did not like the mean cat.
+
+"Maybe we should play something else. Something without cats," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe we should play something else. Something with dogs. Dogs are nice and friendly," Tom said.
+
+They agreed and went to find their toy dogs. They played with them and forgot about the mean cat. They were happy and glad. They liked dogs.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big roll of tape in the closet. They think it is fun to stick the tape on everything.
+
+They tape their books, their pillows, their lamp, and their door. They laugh and whisper to each other. They think they are very clever. They do not hear their mom calling them for lunch.
+
+Mom comes to their room and sees the mess. She is very angry. She asks them why they did this. Tim and Sam do not have a good answer. They say they were just playing.
+
+Mom tells them they have to clean up their room and say sorry. She also tells them they have to share their tape with their sister, who needs it for her school project. Tim and Sam feel bad. They know they were wrong.
+
+They work hard to remove the tape from everything. It is not easy. The tape is sticky and dry. It hurts their fingers and tears their things. They wish they had not wasted the tape.
+
+They finish cleaning up and go to their sister. They give her the tape and apologize. Their sister smiles and thanks them. She says she will help them with their homework later. Tim and Sam feel better. They hug their sister and mom.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn that tape is not a toy. They learn that they should not make a mess. They learn that they should listen to their mom. They learn that they should be kind to their sister. They learn that they should use their things wisely.
+Anna was a big girl who went to school. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. But today she was nervous. She had an exam in math. She had to answer many questions with numbers and shapes.
+
+She woke up early and got ready. She put on her clean dress and brushed her teeth. She ate her breakfast and packed her bag. She said goodbye to her mom and dad and walked to the bus stop.
+
+On the bus, she saw her friend Ben. He was also going to school. He smiled at her and said, "Hi, Anna. Are you ready for the exam?"
+
+Anna nodded, but she felt a knot in her stomach. She said, "I hope I do well. I studied a lot, but math is hard."
+
+Ben said, "Don't worry, Anna. You are smart and you can do it. Just remember what the teacher taught us and try your best."
+
+Anna felt a little better. She thanked Ben and gave him a hug. They got off the bus and walked to the school. The sun was rising in the sky and shining brightly. Anna thought, maybe it was a good sign.
+
+She entered the classroom and sat at her desk. She took out her pencil and paper. The teacher came in and said, "Good morning, children. Today we have an exam in math. Please be quiet and listen carefully. I will read the questions and you will write the answers. Are you ready?"
+
+Anna took a deep breath and said, "Yes, teacher. I am ready." She looked at Ben and he winked at her. She smiled and said to herself, "I can do this. I can rise to the challenge." She started to write.
+Lily liked to draw. She had many colors and papers. She drew flowers, animals, and people. She wanted to show her drawings to everyone.
+
+One day, she saw a big billboard on the road. It had a picture of a car and some words. Lily thought it was boring. She wanted to make it more fun. She took her colors and papers and went to the billboard.
+
+She climbed on a box and started to draw on the billboard. She drew a big sun, a rainbow, and a happy face. She was having fun. She did not see the man who owned the billboard. He was angry. He came to the billboard and shouted at Lily.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing? You are ruining my billboard! This is my property! You have to pay for this!"
+
+Lily was scared. She dropped her colors and papers and ran away. She did not mean to make the man angry. She just wanted to make the billboard pretty. She felt sorry.
+
+She ran to her home and told her mom what happened. Her mom was not happy. She said Lily did a bad thing. She said Lily had to say sorry to the man and help him fix the billboard. She said Lily had to learn to respect other people's things.
+
+Lily nodded. She knew her mom was right. She took her mom's hand and went back to the billboard. She saw the man was still there. He looked sad. Lily walked up to him and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I did not want to hurt your billboard. I wanted to make it fun. Can I help you fix it?"
+
+The man was surprised. He saw Lily's face and heard her words. He felt a little less angry. He said, "Well, thank you for saying sorry. That was brave of you. I guess you have a lot of imagination. But you can't just draw on other people's billboards. That's not nice. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, sir. I understand. I won't do it again. Can I help you fix it?"
+
+The man smiled. He said, "Sure, you can help me. But first, let me show you something." He took Lily to his car and opened the trunk. He had a big roll of paper and some colors. He said, "This is my new billboard. I was going to put it up tomorrow. But maybe you can help me make it better. Do you want to draw on it with me?"
+
+Lily's eyes lit up. She said, "Yes, please! That would be fun!"
+
+The man and Lily went to a park and spread the paper on the ground. They started to draw on it together. They drew a car, a sun, a rainbow, and a happy face. They also drew some flowers, animals, and people. They made the billboard colorful and fun. They had a good time.
+
+The next day, the man put up the new billboard on the road. He thanked Lily for her help. He said, "You are a good artist. You have a lot of talent. Maybe one day, you will succeed in making your own billboards. But remember, always ask for permission first."
+
+Lily hugged the man and said, "Thank you, sir. You are very nice. I will remember your words. And I will always ask for permission."
+
+They waved goodbye and smiled. They were both happy. They had made a new friend. And they had made a beautiful billboard.
+Anna likes to go to the zoo with her mom and dad. She likes to see all the different animals and learn their names. Her favorite animal is the kangaroo. She thinks they are funny and cute.
+
+One day, Anna sees a new kangaroo at the zoo. It is very small and has yellow fur. It is a baby kangaroo. Anna wants to pet it, but her mom says no. She says the baby kangaroo needs to rest with its mom. Anna is sad, but she understands.

+
+"Look, Spot, we found a feather!" Sara says, holding it up. "Do you like it?"
+
+Spot barks and wags his tail. He likes the feather too. He wants to play with it. He jumps up and tries to catch it in his mouth.

+Spot whines and looks sad. He doesn't understand why he can't have the feather. He thinks it is a toy.
+
+Sara and Ben feel sorry for Spot. They love him very much. They don't want to make him unhappy.
+
+"Maybe we can share the feather with Spot," Sara suggests. "We can take turns holding it and letting him sniff it. But we have to be gentle and not let him bite it. OK, Spot?"

+Anna and Ben were playing in the yard. They saw a big bird with a long neck and a funny tail. It was a turkey. The turkey was looking for food. It saw some corn on the ground and ran to eat it.
+
+"Look, a turkey!" Anna said. "Let's catch it and take it home!"
+
+Ben nodded. He liked the turkey. He wanted to pet it and feed it. He ran after the turkey with Anna. They tried to grab it, but it was too fast. It ran away from them.
+
+"Wait, turkey, wait!" Ben shouted. "We want to be your friends!"

+
+"Are you okay, turkey?" Anna asked. "We are sorry we scared you. We did not mean to hurt you."

+
+Lily and Ben were curious. They liked toys. They walked towards the truck. But then they heard a loud voice. It was their mom. She was looking for them. She saw the stranger and the truck. She was scared and angry.
+
+"Stop! Lily! Ben! Come back here! That man is bad! He wants to take you away! Don't go with him!" she shouted.
+
+Lily and Ben were confused. They did not know the man was bad. They thought he was nice. They stopped and turned around. They saw their mom running towards them. They ran to her and hugged her.
+
+The stranger was mad. He did not like that the mom stopped him. He wanted to take the kids. He got in his truck and drove away fast. He did not care about the toys. He was a mean and greedy man.
+
+Lily and Ben were safe with their mom. They were sorry they did not listen to her. They learned to never talk to strangers. They said, "We love you, mom. Thank you for saving us."
+
+The end.
+Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they do not behave. They make noise, throw toys and run around the house. Mom and Dad are not happy.
+
+One night, Mom and Dad say, "It is time for bed. You need to sleep and rest. Tomorrow we will go to the zoo and see many interesting animals. But you have to behave and listen to us."
+
+Tim and Mia nod and say, "Okay, Mom and Dad. We will behave and go to bed. We want to see the zoo and the animals."
+
+They brush their teeth, put on their pajamas and go to their bed. They hug their teddy bears and close their eyes. But they are not sleepy. They are excited.
+
+They whisper to each other, "What animals do you want to see at the zoo? I want to see the lion and the elephant. They are big and strong. What about you?"
+
+"I want to see the monkey and the penguin. They are funny and cute. And maybe the giraffe and the zebra. They have long necks and stripes."

+Tom was a shy boy who liked to play with his toy dragon. He named his dragon Rex and pretended that Rex could fly and breathe fire. Tom and Rex had many adventures in his room, but they were careful not to make too much noise or mess.
+
+One day, Tom's mom told him to clean his room before lunch. Tom did not want to stop playing, so he said, "No, mom, I want to play with Rex." His mom was angry and said, "Tom, you have to do what I say, or I will punish you. You have five minutes to clean your room, or you will not get any dessert."
+
+Tom did not listen to his mom and kept playing with Rex. He made Rex fly over his bed and knock down his pillows. He made Rex breathe fire at his books and toys. He made Rex roar and growl at his door. He had so much fun that he forgot about the time.
+
+His mom came back to his room and saw the mess. She was very angry and said, "Tom, you did not do what I said. You made a big mess and did not clean your room. You are a naughty boy. You will not get any dessert, and you will have to stay in your room for an hour. Give me Rex, he is part of your punishment."
+
+Tom was scared and sad. He did not want to lose Rex, his best friend. He hugged Rex and said, "No, mom, please, do not take Rex. He is not naughty, he is good. He is my dragon, and I love him." His mom did not listen and took Rex away. She left Tom alone in his room, crying.
+
+Tom felt sorry for what he did. He realized that he should have listened to his mom and cleaned his room. He missed Rex and wanted to play with him again. He hoped that his mom would forgive him and give him back Rex. He decided to be a good boy from now on and do what his mom said. He cleaned his room and waited for his mom to come back. He hoped that she would see that he was sorry and that he loved Rex. He hoped that she would not punish him too much.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were fairies and knights. Lily had a charming dress and a wand. Ben had a sword and a shield. They ran and jumped and laughed.
+
+"Look, Lily, a dragon!" Ben said, pointing to a big cloud of smoke in the sky. "We have to stop it from burning the castle!"
+
+"OK, Ben, let's go!" Lily said, waving her wand. "We are brave and strong!"
+
+They ran towards the smoke, but as they got closer, they saw it was not a dragon. It was a fire. The fire was in a house. The house was their neighbor's house. They heard a loud noise and saw flames and sparks.
+
+"Oh no, the house is on fire!" Lily said, scared. "We have to help!"
+
+"Help, help!" they shouted, hoping someone would hear them. They saw a man and a woman running out of the house. They were their neighbors. They looked scared and sad.
+
+"Are you OK?" Lily asked them.
+
+"Yes, we are OK, thank you," the woman said. "But our cat is still inside. We can't find her."
+
+"Don't worry, we will help you find your cat," Ben said. "We are fairies and knights. We can do anything!"
+
+They ran back to the garden and got a bucket of water and a blanket. They poured the water on the blanket and wrapped it around themselves. They ran to the house and looked for the cat. They heard a meow and saw the cat hiding under a table. They grabbed the cat and ran out of the house.
+
+"Here is your cat!" they said, giving the cat to the woman.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, you are so kind and brave!" the woman said, hugging the cat and the children. "You are our heroes!"
+
+The man smiled and said, "Yes, you are. You are charming fairies and knights. You saved our cat and our day!"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and hugged the man and the woman. They were happy they could help. They saw the firemen coming to put out the fire. They waved at them and said, "We are fairies and knights. We helped!"
+Lila liked to sail her boat in the pond. She made the boat from a big leaf and a stick. She thought her boat was very fashion. She put a flower on it to make it pretty.
+
+One day, she saw a boy with a big boat. His boat was red and had a sail. He was not shy. He said, "Look at my boat! It is better than yours. Your boat is small and ugly. You are silly to sail a leaf."
+
+Lila felt sad. She said, "No, your boat is not better. My boat is fashion and pretty. You are mean to say that." She wanted to sail away from the boy.
+
+But the boy was not nice. He said, "I will show you who is better." He took his boat and sailed it fast. He hit Lila's boat with his boat. Lila's boat broke. The leaf and the stick and the flower fell in the water.
+
+Lila cried. She said, "You are bad! You broke my boat! Why did you do that?" She tried to get her boat back. But the water was deep and cold. She fell in the water. She could not swim. She screamed for help.
+
+But the boy did not help. He laughed. He said, "That is what you get for sailing a leaf. You are silly and wet. I am better and dry." He sailed away with his boat.
+
+Lila was scared. She could not breathe. She sank in the water. She did not see her boat again. She did not see the boy again. She did not see anything again.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They lived near a big lake with many fish and birds. Sometimes they went to the lake with their dad and caught fish for dinner.
+
+One day, they saw a big white bird with a long neck and a black beak. It was a swan, a rare bird that did not come to the lake often. Tim and Sam wanted to see it closer, so they ran to the shore. But the swan was shy and flew away.
+
+Tim and Sam were sad. They wished they could see the swan again. They asked their dad why the swan was so rare. He said that swans were very special and needed a lot of space and peace. He said that some people hunted them or took their eggs or made their homes dirty.
+
+Tim and Sam felt sorry for the swan. They wanted to help it and make it happy. They decided to pray for the swan every night before they went to bed. They prayed that the swan would find a safe and clean place to live and that it would have a friend to keep it company.
+
+The next week, Tim and Sam went to the lake again with their dad. They were surprised and happy to see two swans on the water, one white and one gray. They looked like a family. Tim and Sam smiled and waved at them. The swans did not fly away. They swam closer and made soft sounds. Tim and Sam felt like the swans were saying thank you. They thanked God for answering their prayers and making the swans happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to run after it and bring it back.
+
+One time, the ball went too far and landed in the bushes. Ben and Lily ran to the bushes to find it, but they could not see it. They heard a rustle and a growl from the bushes. They were scared. What was in the bushes?
+
+"Maybe it is a big, bad animal," Ben said. "Maybe it will bite us."
+
+"Maybe we should hide," Lily said. "Maybe it will go away."
+
+They looked around and saw a big tree nearby. They ran to the tree and hid behind it. They hugged each other and hoped the animal would not find them.
+
+They waited for a long time, but they did not hear anything else from the bushes. They peeked from behind the tree and saw the ball. It was still in the bushes, but it was not alone. There was a small, black dog next to it. The dog was wagging its tail and licking the ball. It looked happy and harmless.
+
+"Look, Ben," Lily said. "It is not a big, bad animal. It is a dog. A friendly dog. Maybe it likes our ball."
+
+"Maybe it does," Ben said. "Maybe we can play with it."
+
+They came out from behind the tree and walked slowly to the bushes. The dog saw them and barked. It was not a mean bark, but a happy bark. It ran to them and licked their faces. They laughed and petted the dog.
+
+"Hi, dog," Ben said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The dog wagged its tail and nodded. It gave them the ball and waited for them to throw it. Ben and Lily took turns to pitch the ball and the dog ran after it. They had fun playing with the dog. They forgot to be scared. They made a new friend.
+Ben is a dog. He likes to walk with his human, Tom. Tom is great. He gives Ben food, water, and hugs. He also plays with Ben and throws a ball for him.
+
+One day, Tom and Ben go for a walk in the park. They see many things. They see trees, flowers, birds, and other dogs. Ben is happy. He sniffs the grass and barks at the birds. He runs after the ball and brings it back to Tom.
+
+But then, Ben sees something new. He sees a big, red thing with wheels. It makes a loud noise and moves fast. Ben is scared. He does not like the big, red thing. He thinks it is a monster. He runs away from it and hides behind a bush.
+
+Tom sees Ben run away. He is worried. He calls Ben's name and looks for him. He sees the bush where Ben is hiding. He walks to the bush and bends down. He says, "Ben, it's okay. That is not a monster. That is a fire truck. It helps people when there is a fire. It is not scary. It is good."
+
+Ben hears Tom's voice. He peeks out from the bush. He sees Tom's face. He sees the fire truck go away. He is not scared anymore. He is glad. He runs to Tom and licks his face. Tom laughs and hugs Ben. He says, "Good boy, Ben. You are brave. I love you."
+
+They walk back home. Ben is happy. He likes to walk with his human, Tom. Tom is great. He is Ben's best friend.
+Lily and Ben are playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Lily counts to ten and then looks for Ben.
+
+She sees a yellow ball behind a bush. She thinks Ben is hiding there. She walks to the bush and peeks behind it. But there is no Ben, only the ball.
+
+She hears a giggle from the other side of the garden. She runs to the fence and peeks over it. She sees Ben's feet sticking out from under a blanket. She smiles and tiptoes to the blanket.
+
+She lifts the blanket and says, "I found you, Ben!"
+
+Ben laughs and says, "You are good at seeking, Lily!"
+
+They hug and decide to switch roles. Ben is the seeker and Lily is the hider. Lily runs to the shed and finds a small hole. She crawls inside and hopes Ben will not find her.
+
+She waits and waits. She hears Ben counting and looking for her. She sees a little light coming from the hole. She peeks out and sees Ben's face. He sees her too and says, "I found you, Lily!"
+
+Lily gasps and says, "You are good at seeking too, Ben!"
+
+They hug and decide to play another game. They love playing hide and seek in the garden.
+Sara and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were astronauts and explore the stars. They had a big box that was their spaceship and a flashlight that was their laser. They made noises like zoom and pew pew as they flew around.
+
+One day, they saw something strange on the ceiling. It was a big, round, smooth hole. It looked like a window to the sky. They wondered what was behind it. They wanted to see. They got a chair and climbed on it. They reached for the hole.
+
+"Stop!" Sara said. "It might be dangerous. We don't know what's there."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He was curious. He touched the hole. It felt cold and wet. He pushed his hand through it. He felt something grab him. He screamed.
+
+Sara was scared. She tried to pull Ben back. But it was too late. The hole sucked him in. He disappeared. Sara cried. She called for help. But no one came. She was alone. The hole was still there. It looked at her. It was hungry.
+Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play together in the kitchen. They have many toys, but their favorite is the dishwasher. They pretend it is a spaceship, a castle, or a zoo.
+
+One day, they are playing with the dishwasher when Mom comes in. She is not happy. She says, "Tom and Lily, what are you doing? The dishwasher is not a toy. It is for washing dishes. You have to take out your toys and help me load the dishes."
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They do not want to stop playing. They say, "But Mom, we are having fun. The dishwasher is our spaceship. We are going to the moon. Can we play a little more?"
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you cannot. The dishwasher is not a spaceship. It is a machine. It can break if you put toys in it. And we have to wash the dishes before dinner. Come on, help me now."
+
+Tom and Lily sigh. They take out their toys and put them in a basket. They help Mom load the dishes. They are not happy. They think the dishwasher is boring.
+
+But then, Mom has an idea. She says, "Tom and Lily, I have a surprise for you. After we finish loading the dishes, we can play a game. The game is called 'What's in the dishwasher?' I will hide something in the dishwasher, and you have to guess what it is. Do you want to play?"
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They think the game sounds fun. They finish loading the dishes and close the door. Mom says, "Okay, I have hidden something in the dishwasher. It is something small, round, and red. Can you guess what it is?"
+
+Tom and Lily think hard. They say, "Is it a ball? Is it a cherry? Is it a button?"
+
+Mom says, "No, no, and no. Do you want a hint?"
+
+Tom and Lily say, "Yes, please."
+
+Mom says, "It is something you can eat, but it is not sweet. It is something you can include in a salad, but it is not a vegetable. It is something you can make a face with, but it is not a sticker."
+
+Tom and Lily think harder. They say, "Is it a tomato? Is it a cranberry? Is it a pepper?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, yes, and yes. You are right. It is a pepper. A red pepper. You are very smart. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Tom and Lily say, "Yes, please."
+
+Mom opens the dishwasher and shows them the pepper. Tom and Lily laugh. They say, "That is a silly thing to hide in the dishwasher. Can we eat it?"
+
+Mom says, "Sure, you can. But first, let me wash it. And then, we can make a face with it. We can use it for the nose, and use some cheese for the eyes, and some crackers for the mouth. Do you want to do that?"
+
+Tom and Lily say, "Yes, please."
+
+Mom says, "Okay, let's do that. And then, we can eat our snack. And then, we can play some more. Maybe we can pretend the dishwasher is a castle, and we are the king and the queen. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom and Lily say, "That sounds great. We love you, Mom. And we love the dishwasher. It is a playful machine."
+Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a small house with their mom and dad. They loved to play and laugh and help their parents with chores. One day, they heard that there was a big festival in the town, where people could see lights and music and games and food. They wanted to go and have fun, but their mom and dad said they had no money to spend.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad, but they did not complain. They decided to make their own festival at home, with paper lanterns and songs and puzzles and cookies. They invited their friends from the neighborhood and shared their toys and snacks. They had a lot of fun and felt happy.
+
+Meanwhile, Sam and Sara were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They were very wealthy and had everything they wanted. They went to the festival in the town, but they did not enjoy it. They were bored and spoiled and rude. They wanted more and more lights and music and games and food, but they did not share or say thank you. They made fun of other people and threw tantrums. They had no fun and felt unhappy.
+
+One night, it was very cold and windy. Tom and Lily snuggled with their mom and dad in their cozy bed and thanked them for their love and care. They felt warm and safe.
+
+Sam and Sara shivered in their big bed and complained to their mom and dad that they were cold and hungry and bored. They felt lonely and scared.
+
+The moral of the story is: Happiness does not come from having a lot of things, but from being grateful and kind.
+Tim likes math. He likes to count and add and take away. He has a math book with many pictures and numbers. He likes to do math with his mom and dad.
+
+One day, Tim sees a snowman outside. He wants to make a snowman too. He puts on his coat and hat and gloves and boots. He goes outside and rolls big balls of snow. He stacks them up and makes a snowman. He gives the snowman a carrot nose and a scarf and a hat.
+
+Tim is happy with his snowman. He goes inside to get his math book. He wants to show his snowman how to do math. He thinks his snowman will like math too.
+
+But when he comes back outside, he sees something sad. His snowman is not the same. He is smaller and wet. His nose and scarf and hat are on the ground. Tim does not understand. What happened to his snowman?
+
+His mom comes outside and sees Tim. She hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, Tim. Your snowman melted. That means he turned from snow to water. It is too warm outside for snow. Snow only stays when it is cold."
+
+Tim feels sad. He liked his snowman. He wanted to do math with him. He says, "Can we make another snowman?"
+
+His mom says, "Maybe when it snows again. But not today. Today is a gray day. That means there are many clouds and no sun. Maybe tomorrow will be a sunny day. Then we can do something else fun."
+
+Tim nods. He still feels sad, but he hopes his mom is right. He hopes tomorrow will be a sunny day. He hopes he can do math with someone else. He loves math. He thinks math is fun.
+Anna likes to watch her mom cook. She sits on a chair and sees what mom does. Mom puts things in a big pot on the stove. The stove is hot and makes steam. Anna likes the steam. It looks like clouds.
+
+Mom says, "Do you want to help me, Anna?" Anna nods. Mom gives her a spoon and a bowl. She says, "You can stir this. It is corn. Corn is yellow and sweet." Anna takes the spoon and the bowl. She stirs the corn. It is soft and warm. She likes the corn.
+
+Mom says, "Good job, Anna. You are a good helper. Do you want to taste the corn?" Anna nods. Mom takes a little bit of corn and blows on it. She says, "Be careful. It is hot." She puts the corn in Anna's mouth. Anna smiles. It is yummy. She says, "Thank you, mom. I like to watch you cook. And I like to help you." Mom smiles too. She says, "You are welcome, Anna. I love you." They hug. Anna is happy.
+Sara and Tom are playing hide and seek in the farm. Sara is the seeker and Tom is the hider. Sara counts to ten and then looks for Tom.
+
+She sees a big pile of corn near the barn. She thinks Tom might be hiding there. She walks slowly and quietly to the corn. She hears a giggle from behind the corn. She smiles and says, "I found you, Tom!"
+
+She reaches the corn and peeks behind it. But there is no Tom. There is only a scarecrow with a hat and a coat. Sara is surprised and confused. She says, "Who are you?"
+
+The scarecrow does not answer. He just stares at Sara with his button eyes. Sara feels scared and runs away from the corn. She looks for Tom somewhere else.
+
+Tom is hiding in the hayloft. He sees Sara running away from the corn. He laughs and says, "That was a good trick, Mr. Scarecrow. You scared Sara with your silly face. Thank you for helping me hide."
+
+The scarecrow does not answer. He just nods his head and smiles with his stitched mouth. He likes to play with the children. He thinks they are fun and funny. He waits for the next round of hide and seek.
+Anna likes to order food with her mom. They go to a place with many pictures of food on the wall. Anna points to the picture she wants. She likes pizza with cheese and tomato. Mom orders pizza for Anna and salad for herself.
+
+While they wait for the food, Anna sees a photo on the table. It is a photo of mom and dad when they were young. They look different. Mom has long hair and dad has no beard. Anna asks mom who they are. Mom smiles and tells Anna they are her parents.
+
+Anna thinks mom and dad are pretty. She wants a photo of them too. She asks mom if they can take a photo with her phone. Mom says yes and holds Anna close. She presses a button and the phone makes a sound. Mom shows Anna the photo on the screen. Anna likes it. She sees mom, dad and herself. They look happy. Anna says she loves mom and dad. Mom says she loves Anna too. They hug and kiss. Then the food comes and they eat. Anna thinks it is a good day.
+Tom and Mia were friends. They liked to play in the park. They ran, jumped, and slid on the slides. They were very playful.
+
+One day, they saw a grill in the park. It was big and shiny. Tom and Mia were curious. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's move the grill and look," Tom said.
+
+"OK," Mia said.
+
+They pushed and pulled the grill. It was heavy and hard. They moved it a little bit. They saw some coals and sticks inside.
+
+"Wow, look at that," Tom said.
+
+"Can we touch them?" Mia asked.
+
+"Maybe," Tom said. "They look fun."
+
+He reached his hand inside the grill. He felt something hot and sharp. He screamed. It hurt a lot.
+
+"Tom, what's wrong?" Mia asked.
+
+"The coals and sticks are hot. They burned me," Tom said. He cried and cried.
+
+Mia was scared. She ran to get help. She saw a man and a woman. They were the owners of the grill. They were angry.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with our grill?" the man shouted.
+
+"We were just playing," Mia said.
+
+"Playing? You moved our grill and burned your friend. That's not playing. That's dangerous and stupid," the woman said.
+
+They called the police and the ambulance. Tom and Mia were in trouble. They were not friends anymore. They were sad and sorry.
+Sara was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to comb their hair and make them look pretty. She had a pink comb, a blue comb and a yellow comb. She gave each doll a different comb.
+
+But then her brother Tom came in. He was smelly and noisy. He did not like dolls. He liked cars and trucks. He saw Sara's combs and wanted to play with them. He grabbed the yellow comb and ran away.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Sara shouted. She ran after him. She was angry and sad. She loved her yellow comb. It was her favorite.
+
+Tom ran to the living room. He saw his toy truck on the floor. He wanted to put the comb on the truck. He thought it would look funny. He did not care about Sara's feelings.
+
+But then he stepped on a Lego brick. It hurt his foot. He dropped the comb and screamed. He cried and held his foot.
+
+Sara caught up with him. She saw the comb on the floor. She picked it up and hugged it. She was happy and relieved. She glared at Tom. He was still crying and holding his foot.
+
+"See, that's what you get for being mean and smelly!" Sara said. She stuck out her tongue. She walked back to her room. She did not want to play with Tom. She wanted to play with her dolls and her combs.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb on the big slide and go down fast. But today, they saw something new. There was a big pile of wood near the slide. It had many spikes sticking out of it.
+
+"Look, Sara, spikes!" Ben said. "They are sharp and pointy. Let's touch them."
+
+"No, Ben, don't touch them!" Sara said. "They can hurt you. They can make you bleed. Mommy said to stay away from spikes."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He wanted to touch the spikes. He leaned closer to the pile of wood. He reached out his hand.
+
+"Ow!" Ben cried. He pulled back his hand. It had a red dot on it. A spike had poked him. It hurt a lot.
+
+Sara ran to him. She saw his hand. She felt sorry for him. She took a thick leaf from a nearby tree. She wrapped it around his hand.
+
+"Here, Ben, this will help," Sara said. "It will stop the bleeding. It will make it feel better. But you have to be careful. You have to listen to Mommy. You have to stay away from spikes."
+
+Ben nodded. He was sorry he did not listen. He hugged Sara. He thanked her for helping him. He learned his lesson. He did not touch the spikes again. He and Sara went back to the slide. They had fun. They were safe.
+Tom and Lily are on a big boat with their mom and dad. They are going to see a new island. Tom and Lily like to look at the water and the fish. They also like to play with their toys on the boat.
+
+One day, the boat stops near the island. Mom and dad say they can go to the beach and swim. Tom and Lily are happy. They put on their hats and sunscreen and grab their buckets and shovels. They follow mom and dad to the small boat that will take them to the shore.
+
+On the way, Tom sees a big bird in the sky. It is black and white and has a long beak. Tom points and says, "Look, Lily, a bird!"
+
+Lily looks up and says, "Wow, it is so big and pretty!"
+
+The bird flies closer to the boat and makes a loud noise. It sounds like "Squawk, squawk!"
+
+Tom and Lily laugh and try to copy the noise. They say, "Squawk, squawk!"
+
+The bird does not like that. It gets angry and flies down to the boat. It tries to peck Tom and Lily with its beak.
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They scream and duck. They drop their buckets and shovels. The bird grabs one of the shovels with its beak and flies away.
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They want their shovel back. They cry and say, "Bad bird, bad bird! Give us our shovel!"
+
+Mom and dad try to calm them down. They say, "Don't worry, Tom and Lily. It is just a bird. It does not know better. We can get you another shovel on the island. Look, we are almost there. See the sand and the palm trees?"
+
+Tom and Lily look at the island. It is very beautiful. They see other boats and people on the beach. They also see some colorful fish in the water. They forget about the bird and the shovel. They smile and say, "Yay, the island! Let's go swim and play!"
+
+Mom and dad smile too. They say, "Yes, let's go have some fun!"
+
+They reach the shore and get off the boat. They walk to the beach and find a nice spot. They spread their towels and put their things down. They are ready to enjoy the island.
+One day, a child named Lily wanted to print a picture for her mom. She found a big book with many pictures of animals and flowers. She liked a picture of a lion with a big mane. She took the book to the printer and put it on the glass. She pressed the button and waited.
+
+But something went wrong. The printer made a loud noise and spit out many papers. The papers had parts of the lion and other pictures on them. They were all mixed up and messy. Lily was scared and confused. She did not know what to do.
+
+She heard her mom coming. She quickly grabbed the papers and hid them under the sofa. She hoped her mom would not see them. She felt ashamed. She did not want to waste paper and ink. She did not want to break the printer. She did not want to make her mom angry.
+
+Her mom came in and saw the book on the printer. She asked Lily what she was doing. Lily did not answer. She looked down and bit her lip. Her mom saw her face and guessed something was wrong. She looked under the sofa and saw the papers. She sighed and shook her head.
+
+She took Lily by the hand and sat her on the couch. She explained to Lily that she should not put books on the printer. She said that the printer only works with flat papers. She said that the printer needs paper and ink to make pictures. She said that paper and ink are not cheap and should not be wasted. She said that Lily should ask for help if she wants to print something.
+
+Lily felt sorry and sad. She said she was sorry to her mom. She said she wanted to print a picture for her mom. She said she liked the lion. Her mom hugged her and said she loved her. She said she was not angry, but she was disappointed. She said she appreciated Lily's thought, but she wished Lily had been more careful.
+
+She asked Lily to help her clean up the papers and put the book back. She said they could print a picture together later. She said they could find a picture of a lion online. She said they could use scissors and glue to make a collage. She said they could have fun and learn something new.
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She felt better and hopeful. She said she was sorry again and thanked her mom. She said she loved her mom. She said she wanted to print a picture with her mom. She said she wanted to make a collage. She said she wanted to have fun and learn something new.
+Tim and Lily were at the park with their mom. They played on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They had a lot of fun. They were hungry and thirsty.
+
+"Mom, can we have a snack?" Tim asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. There is a snack stand over there. Let's go and see what they have," mom said.
+
+They walked to the snack stand. They saw apples, bananas, cookies, juice and water. Mom gave Tim and Lily some money.
+
+"Here, you can pay for your snack. What do you want?" mom said.
+
+"I want a cookie and a juice," Tim said.
+
+"I want a banana and a water," Lily said.
+
+They gave the money to the man at the snack stand. He gave them their snack. They said thank you.
+
+They sat on a bench and ate their snack. They saw a bird on the ground. It was not moving. It had a lot of feathers.
+
+"Look, mom. A bird," Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at the bird. She saw that it was dead.
+
+"Oh, poor bird. It must have been sick or hurt. It is not alive anymore," mom said.
+
+"What does that mean? Not alive?" Tim asked.
+
+"It means that the bird can't breathe, or sing, or fly. It can't do anything. It is gone," mom said.
+
+"Where did it go?" Lily asked.
+
+"It went to a place where it can be happy and free. A place where there is no pain or sadness. A place where it can be with other birds," mom said.
+
+"Can we go there too?" Tim asked.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. We have to stay here and enjoy our life. We have to be kind and grateful for what we have. We have to love each other and help each other. Maybe one day, when we are very old, we can go there too," mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. I love you," Tim said.
+
+"I love you too, mom," Lily said.
+
+They hugged mom and finished their snack. They threw away their trash and went back to play. They were happy.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat yummy food. One day, their mom makes a big dish of mac and cheese for lunch. She puts it on the table and tells them to wash their hands.
+
+"Mac and cheese is my favorite!" Lila says. "Me too!" Ben says. They run to the sink and wash their hands with soap and water.
+
+They sit down at the table and mom gives them each a plate of mac and cheese. The cheese is thick and gooey and smells good. Lila and Ben start to eat with their forks.
+
+"Wow, this is so good!" Lila says. "Thank you, mom!"
+
+"You're welcome, sweetie," mom says. "But don't eat too fast, or you might get a tummy ache."
+
+"I won't," Lila says. She takes another bite.
+
+Ben eats faster than Lila. He wants to finish his plate first. He thinks he can gain more cheese if he eats more. He shovels the mac and cheese into his mouth.
+
+"Slow down, Ben," mom says. "You don't have to hurry. There's plenty for everyone."
+
+"I know, mom," Ben says. But he doesn't listen. He eats and eats and eats.
+
+Soon, he finishes his plate. He feels proud. He looks at Lila. She still has some mac and cheese left.
+
+"Ha ha, I beat you!" Ben says. "I ate more than you!"
+
+Lila looks at him. She doesn't care. She enjoys her food. She says, "That's okay, Ben. You can have more if you want."
+
+Ben thinks he does want more. He loves mac and cheese. He asks mom for another plate. Mom gives him a small one. She says, "Are you sure, Ben? You already ate a lot."
+
+"Yes, mom," Ben says. He takes the plate and starts to eat again.
+
+But after a few bites, he feels funny. His tummy hurts. He feels full and sick. He stops eating. He says, "Oh no, mom. I don't feel good."
+
+Mom looks at him. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. You ate too much, too fast. You need to rest now."
+
+She takes him to the couch and gives him a glass of water. She says, "Next time, listen to me, okay? Eat slowly and enjoy your food. Don't be greedy."
+
+Ben nods. He says, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I learned my lesson."
+
+Lila finishes her plate. She feels happy and satisfied. She says, "Mom, can I have some fruit for dessert?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Sure, Lila. You can have some fruit. You ate well and wisely. You're a good girl."
+

+Sam and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and zoom along the dirt path. Sometimes they would pretend to be mechanics and fix their cars with tools and oil.
+
+"Look, Lily, my car is very fast and shiny!" Sam said, holding his red car in his hand. "I put some oil on it and it makes it go faster."
+
+"That's nice, Sam, but my car is faster and prettier!" Lily said, showing her yellow car. "I put some stickers on it and it makes it sparkle."
+
+They decided to have a race to see whose car was the best. They lined up their cars at the start line and counted to three.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" they shouted and pushed their cars forward.
+
+The cars zoomed along the dirt path, leaving behind a trail of dust. Sam and Lily ran after them, cheering and laughing. They reached the finish line at the same time and looked at their cars.

+
+"Yes, they are!" Lily agreed, picking up hers.

+"Can you help me prepare for the party?" Tom asks Lily. "We need to make a cake and blow up some balloons."
+
+"Sure, I can help you," Lily says. "I like to bake and decorate. What kind of cake do you want?"
+
+"I want a chocolate cake with deep brown frosting and sprinkles," Tom says. "It is my favorite."
+
+"Okay, let's go to the kitchen and find the ingredients," Lily says. "We need flour, sugar, eggs, butter, cocoa, milk, and baking powder. Do you have them?"
+
+"Yes, I have them in the cupboard and the fridge," Tom says. "Let's get them and mix them in a big bowl. Then we can pour the batter in a pan and put it in the oven."
+
+They work together to make the cake. They are careful not to spill or burn themselves. They set the timer and wait for the cake to bake. While they wait, they blow up some balloons and tie them to the chairs and the table. They also make some paper hats and streamers.
+
+The timer rings and they take out the cake. It smells good and looks yummy. They let it cool down and then spread the frosting and the sprinkles on top. They write "Happy Birthday Tom" with a tube of icing.
+
+The cake is ready and the party is ready. Tom and Lily are proud of their work. They hear the doorbell ring. It is their friends. They run to the door and invite them in.
+
+"Welcome to my party!" Tom says. "Look at the cake we made. It is a chocolate cake with deep brown frosting and sprinkles. Do you want a slice?"

+Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. But there was a sign that said "No kids under five". Ben and Mia were only three.
+
+"Can we go on the slide?" Ben asked his mom.
+
+"No, you can't. The sign says no. It is not safe for you. You are too small." Mom said.
+
+"But we want to go on the slide. It looks fun." Mia said.
+
+"I know, but you have to follow the rules. The rules are there to protect you. Maybe when you are older, you can go on the slide." Mom said.
+
+Ben and Mia were sad. They did not like the rules. They thought the rules were silly and unfair. They looked around and saw a big puddle of mud. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's play in the mud!" Ben said.
+
+"Yeah, let's play in the mud!" Mia said.
+
+They ran to the puddle and jumped in. They splashed and laughed and made mud pies. They got very dirty and messy.
+
+Mom saw them and was shocked. She ran to them and said "What are you doing? You are making a mess. You are disgusting. Stop it right now!"
+
+Ben and Mia looked at Mom and said "But Mom, you said we can't go on the slide. You didn't say we can't play in the mud."
+
+Mom sighed. She realized they were right. She had not said anything about the mud. She had not thought they would do that. She wished she had more wisdom. She said "You are right. I didn't say you can't play in the mud. But you still have to clean up. Come on, let's go home and take a bath."
+
+Ben and Mia followed Mom. They were still happy. They had fun playing in the mud. They thought they were clever. They did not care about the rules. They did not care about being disgusting. They only cared about having fun.

+
+"Look what you did!" Sara says to Ben. "You broke the red crayon!"
+
+"No, you did!" Ben says to Sara. "You pulled too hard!"
+
+They start to cry. They are angry with each other. They do not want to draw anymore.
+
+Mom hears them crying. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken crayon. She sees Sara and Ben with tears in their eyes.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asks.
+
+"Sara broke the red crayon!" Ben says.
+
+"Ben broke the red crayon!" Sara says.
+
+Mom sighs. She hugs Sara and Ben. She says, "Crayons are fragile. They can break easily. You have to be careful with them. And you have to be kind to each other. You are twins. You are friends. You can share the crayons. There are many colors in the box. You can make beautiful drawings together."
+
+Sara and Ben stop crying. They say sorry to each other. They hug Mom. They pick up the crayons. They find the blue crayon. They both like the blue crayon. They decide to share the blue crayon. They draw a big sky with the blue crayon. They are happy. They smile.
+Sara was a spoiled girl who always wanted new toys and candy. She did not like to share or say thank you. One day, she saw a big purple ball in the store and begged her mom to buy it for her. Her mom said no, because Sara had too many toys already and did not play with them. Sara threw a tantrum and cried and screamed.
+
+"Stop it, Sara!" her mom said. "You are being very rude and naughty. If you don't calm down, we will go home and you will have no dessert."
+
+But Sara did not listen. She ran away from her mom and grabbed the purple ball. She tried to hide behind a shelf, but a store worker saw her and took the ball away. Sara was very angry and bit the worker's hand.
+
+"Ow!" the worker said. "That hurts! You are a bad girl. Where is your mom?"
+
+Sara's mom heard the noise and came over. She saw Sara's teeth marks on the worker's hand and felt very ashamed. She apologized to the worker and scolded Sara.
+
+"Sara, how could you do that? You are not a dog, you don't chew on people. That is very mean and dangerous. You could make them sick or hurt them. You should say sorry to the worker right now."
+
+Sara did not want to say sorry. She pouted and looked away. Her mom was very disappointed and angry. She took Sara by the hand and dragged her out of the store. She told Sara that she was grounded and that she would have no toys, no candy, and no dessert for a week.
+
+Sara realized that she had made a big mistake. She wished she had listened to her mom and not been so spoiled. She wished she had not chewed on the worker and taken the purple ball. She felt very sorry and sad. She wanted to say sorry to the worker and to her mom, but it was too late. She had to learn her lesson the hard way.

+
+Tom and Sam do not want to sort their junk. They want to play in the snow. They say, "Mom, can we do it later? The snow is icy and sparkly. We want to make a big snow fort."
+
+Mom says, "No, you have to do it now. The snow will not melt. But your junk will make a mess. If you sort your junk, I will make you hot chocolate and cookies. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom and Sam think about it. They like hot chocolate and cookies. They say, "OK, Mom, we will sort our junk. But can we do it fast?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, you can do it fast. But you have to do it well. No cheating. I will check your room when you are done."

+They are very happy with their snowman. They give him a name. They call him Bob. They say hello to Bob and hug him. They are polite to Bob. They say he is a good snowman.
+
+But the sun is very bright and warm. It makes the snow melt. Tim and Sam go inside to have some hot chocolate. They forget about Bob. When they come back, they see that Bob is gone. Only the hat, the scarf, the carrot, the wheel and the shovel are left.

+
+"Let's go in the hole," said Tom. "Maybe we can find something fun."
+
+"OK," said Lila. "But be careful. It might be dark and scary."
+
+They walked to the tree and crawled into the hole. It was dark and dusty. They could not see much. They heard a voice.
+
+"Who are you?" the voice said. "Why are you in my home?"
+
+Lila and Tom were scared. They did not know who was talking. They saw two bright eyes in the dark.
+
+"Please don't hurt us," said Lila. "We are sorry. We just wanted to see what was in the hole."
+
+The voice was soft and kind. "I am not going to hurt you. I am an owl. I live in this hole. I am very old and wise. I know many things."
+
+"Wow," said Tom. "You are an owl? You are so cool. Can you tell us something you know?"
+
+The owl smiled. "I can tell you many things. But first, you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will respect my home and not make it dirty or noisy. This is where I sleep and think. It is very important to me."
+
+Lila and Tom nodded. "We promise," they said. "We will be good and quiet. We will not make any dust or mess."
+
+The owl was happy. "Thank you," he said. "Now, I will tell you something I know. I know that the sun and the moon are friends. They take turns to light up the sky. They never get tired or bored. They always smile and wink at each other. They are very happy."
+
+Lila and Tom listened to the owl. They learned many things from him. They thanked him for his stories and said goodbye. They crawled out of the hole and walked back to the park. They looked at the sun and the moon and smiled and winked at them. They were very happy too.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They were very filthy, but they did not care. They saw a rabbit hopping near the fence. They wanted to catch it and pet it.
+
+"Look, a rabbit!" Sam said. "Let's get it!"
+
+They ran after the rabbit, but it was too fast. It ran under the fence and into the woods. Sam and Lily followed it. They did not see the sign that said "Keep Out".
+
+They found the rabbit in a big cage. It looked scared and sad. There was a man next to the cage. He had a knife and a pot. He was preparing to cook the rabbit.
+

+One day, Lila and Ben want to feed Luna. They go to the kitchen and find a can of tuna. They open the can and put some tuna in a bowl. They bring the bowl to Luna and say, "Here, Luna, this is for you. Eat up, you must be hungry."
+
+But Luna does not eat the tuna. She sniffs the bowl and walks away. She goes to the sofa and curls up. Lila and Ben are confused. They wonder why Luna does not like the tuna. They think maybe she is cold.
+
+They go to their room and find a wrap. It is red and soft and has stars on it. They bring the wrap to Luna and say, "Here, Luna, this is for you. You can use it as a blanket. It will keep you warm and cozy."

+
+They go to the toy box and find a mouse. It is gray and furry and has a squeak. They bring the mouse to Luna and say, "Here, Luna, this is for you. You can play with it and have fun. It will make you happy and excited."
+
+Luna sees the mouse and perks up. She runs to the mouse and pounces on it. She bites the mouse and makes it squeak. She tosses the mouse in the air and catches it. She rolls on the floor and chases the mouse. Lila and Ben are happy. They see that Luna likes the mouse. They join her and play with her.
+

+
+Tom and Lily thought about it. They liked to be happy. They did not like to fight.
+
+"OK, Mom," they said. "We will share the bean."
+
+They dug a hole in the dirt and put the bean in it. They covered it with more dirt and watered it. They gave each other a hug and said sorry.
+
+They waited for the bean to grow. They wondered what it would be like. They hoped it would be a jolly bean.
+One day, a wealthy ant was walking in the garden. He had a big house, many friends, and lots of food. He was very happy and proud of his life.
+
+He saw a flower that was very pretty. It had many colors and a sweet smell. He wanted to smell it closer, so he climbed up the stem. He reached the top and saw a bee.
+
+"Hello, bee," he said. "This is a nice flower. Can I share it with you?"
+
+The bee looked at him and frowned. He did not like the ant. He thought the ant was greedy and rude.
+
+"No, you cannot," he said. "This is my flower. I worked hard to find it. You have enough food in your house. Go away!"
+
+The ant felt sad and angry. He did not want to go away. He wanted to smell the flower. He thought the bee was mean and selfish.
+
+He said, "You are not fair. This is a big flower. There is enough for both of us. You cannot have it all. I will stay here!"
+
+The bee was very mad. He wanted to sting the ant. He flew at him and tried to hit him. The ant was scared and jumped. He used his legs to spring off the flower. He flew in the air and landed on the ground.
+
+He was hurt and dirty. He wished he had not climbed the flower. He wished he had been nicer to the bee. He learned a lesson. He decided to be more humble and kind. He went back to his house and thanked his friends and food. He was still wealthy, but he was also wise.
+Lily and Tom were helping Mom in the kitchen. They liked to cook with Mom. She was dependable. She always made yummy food for them.
+
+Mom gave Lily a big bowl of vegetables. She said, "Lily, can you pour some water on these vegetables? We need to wash them before we cook them."
+
+Lily nodded and took the bowl to the sink. She turned on the faucet and poured some water on the vegetables. She saw carrots, peas, corn, and broccoli. She liked all of them, except broccoli. She made a face.
+
+Tom saw Lily's face and laughed. He said, "Lily, don't you like broccoli? I think it's good. It's green and crunchy."
+
+Lily said, "No, I don't like broccoli. It's bitter and yucky. I like carrots better. They're orange and sweet."
+
+Mom heard them and smiled. She said, "It's okay, Lily. You don't have to eat broccoli if you don't want to. But you have to try a little bit. Maybe you'll change your mind someday. Now, can you both help me chop the vegetables? We're going to make a delicious soup for dinner."

+
+"Can I lend it for a little while? I want to read it too," Ben said.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to share with her friend, but she also worried about her book. What if Ben lost it or tore it or spilled juice on it? She decided to trust Ben.
+
+"Okay, you can lend it. But you have to give it back to me tomorrow. And you have to keep it safe and clean," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. I promise I will take good care of it," Ben said.
+

+"Ben is sick today. He has a fever and a sore throat. He stayed at home with his mom," the teacher said.
+
+Lily felt sad for Ben. She hoped he would get better soon. But she also felt worried about her book. Did Ben remember to bring it back? Did he keep it safe and clean? Where was her book now?
+
+She waited and waited for Ben to come back. She missed her friend and her book. She wondered if she would ever see them again.

+
+His mom smiled and said, "Why don't you cover the barrel with this tarp?" She gave Timmy a big blue tarp.

+Max watched them from afar. He felt lonely and bored. He had no one to play with or talk to. He had many bricks, but he did not enjoy them. He realized he had been mean and rude to Tom and Sue. He wished he had been nicer and friendlier. He wished he had a friend like them.
+
+He decided to go to their house and say sorry. He knocked on the door and waited. Tom and Sue opened the door and looked at him. He felt nervous and ashamed.
+
+"Hi, Tom and Sue. I'm sorry for what I said and did. I was wrong. You are not silly or ugly. You are smart and nice. You have a beautiful brick house. Can I be your friend? Can I play with you?" Max asked.
+
+Tom and Sue looked at each other and smiled. They saw that Max was sincere and sorry. They decided to forgive him and give him a chance. They said yes, he could be their friend and play with them. They invited him to their house and shared their bricks with him. They taught him how to build better and nicer things with bricks. They had fun and laughed together.
+
+The sun came out and shone on their brick house. The playground was not gloomy anymore. It was bright and cheerful. Tom and Sue and Max learned a lesson. They learned that being kind and sharing is better than being mean and selfish. They learned that marrying is not just a game, but a way of showing love and commitment. They learned that friendship is more valuable than bricks.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and beep and crash. Lily had a yellow car with a big motor that made a loud noise. Ben had a blue car with a small motor that made a soft noise.
+
+"Look at my car, it is so fast and noisy!" Lily said, showing off her yellow car. "Your car is slow and quiet, it is boring!"
+
+Ben felt sad. He liked his blue car, but he wished it had a big motor like Lily's. He wanted to make his car faster and noisier. He thought of a plan.
+
+He went to the shed and found a can of paint and a screwdriver. He painted his car yellow, hoping it would make it look faster. Then he opened the car and tried to fix the motor, hoping it would make it sound louder. He did not know what he was doing, but he tried anyway.
+
+Lily saw Ben sneaking out of the shed with his car. She was curious. She followed him to the garden and saw his yellow car. She laughed.
+
+"Ha ha, you painted your car yellow, but it is still slow and quiet!" she said. "You cannot make your car like mine, it is silly!"
+
+Ben felt angry. He wanted to show Lily that his car was fast and noisy too. He turned on his car and pushed the button. But instead of zooming and beeping, his car made a strange sound and smoke came out of it. His car was broken.
+
+Ben felt worried. He did not mean to break his car, he just wanted to make it better. He liked his car, even if it was slow and quiet. He wished he had not painted it or opened it. He started to cry.
+
+Lily saw Ben crying and felt sorry. She realized she had been mean to him. She did not care if his car was yellow or blue, fast or slow, loud or quiet. She liked Ben, he was her friend.
+
+She went to Ben and hugged him. She said, "I am sorry, Ben, I was wrong. Your car is not silly, it is nice. I like your car, and I like you. Maybe we can fix your car together, or we can share my car. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben smiled. He felt happy. He said, "Yes, I want to play with you. Thank you, Lily, you are a good friend. I like your car, and I like you too."
+
+They played with their cars in the garden. They made them zoom and beep and crash. They did not care if they were yellow or blue, fast or slow, loud or quiet. They had fun.
+Ben was a curious boy who liked to explore the house. One day, he saw a shiny faucet in the bathroom. He wanted to know what it did, so he climbed on a stool and reached for it. He turned the faucet and water came out. He was happy and laughed.
+
+"Look, Mommy, water!" he shouted.
+
+Mommy came into the bathroom and saw Ben playing with the faucet. She was not happy. She was angry.
+
+"Ben, stop that! You are making a mess!" she said.
+
+She turned off the faucet and took Ben off the stool. She pointed at the floor and the towels. They were wet and dirty.
+
+"See, Ben, you made the floor and the towels wet and dirty. That is not good. You have to be careful with the faucet. It is not a toy. It is for washing and brushing," she said.
+
+Ben felt sad. He did not mean to make a mess. He just wanted to see the water. He said sorry to Mommy.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy. I didn't know. I was curious," he said.
+
+Mommy hugged Ben and smiled. She was not angry anymore. She understood that Ben was curious.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. I know you were curious. But next time, ask me first before you touch the faucet. I can show you how to use it properly. And we can clean up the mess together," she said.
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He said thank you to Mommy.
+
+"Thank you, Mommy. I love you," he said.
+
+They cleaned up the mess together and then washed and brushed. Ben learned a lesson and Mommy was proud of him. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Today, they have a long time to play. They go to the park with their moms.
+
+In the park, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They run to the slide and wait for their turn. Lily goes first. She sits on the slide and slides down. She laughs and says, "Whee! That was fun!"
+
+Ben goes next. He sits on the slide and slides down. But he slides too fast. He bumps his head on the ground. He cries and says, "Ow! That hurt!"
+
+Lily runs to Ben. She sees his head is red. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben nods. He says, "I'm okay. It's just a little bump."
+
+Lily hugs Ben. She says, "I'm glad you're okay. Do you want to play something else?"
+
+Ben hugs Lily back. He says, "Yes, please. Let's play something else."
+
+They go to the swings. They sit on the swings and swing high. They hold hands and squeeze them. They smile and say, "We are friends. We have fun together."
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. But today, they want to do something different.
+
+"Let's plan a surprise for Mom and Dad," Ben says. "We can make them a treat."
+
+"What kind of treat?" Lily asks.
+
+"Maybe a cake or a cookie," Ben says. "We can use the things in the kitchen."
+
+They go to the kitchen. They find a bowl, a spoon, some flour, some sugar, some eggs and some milk. They mix everything together. They make a big mess.
+
+They put the bowl in the oven. They wait for the treat to bake. They smell something good.
+
+"Look, our treat is ready," Ben says. He opens the oven. He sees a brown, round, flat thing. It is not a cake or a cookie. It is something different.
+
+They take it out of the oven. They put it on a plate. They decorate it with some candy and some frosting. They write "We love you" with a marker.
+
+They bring the plate to the living room. They see Mom and Dad on the couch. They say "Surprise!"
+
+Mom and Dad look at the plate. They see the brown, round, flat thing. They smile.
+
+"Wow, what a wonderful treat," Mom says. "You are so sweet and creative."
+
+"Thank you for making us something different," Dad says. "We love you too."
+
+They hug and kiss Ben and Lily. They try the treat. It is crunchy and sticky and sweet. They like it.
+
+Ben and Lily are happy. They plan a good surprise. They make a different treat. They have fun.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many cars, trucks, trains and planes, but their favorite toy was a big yellow crane. They used the crane to lift and move other toys, and to make pretend buildings and bridges.
+
+One day, Tim and Sam had a fight. Tim wanted to play with the crane, but Sam said it was his turn. They both pulled the crane and shouted at each other.
+
+"Give me the crane, it's mine!" Tim said.
+
+"No, it's mine, you had it yesterday!" Sam said.
+
+They were so angry that they did not see their mom coming into the room. She saw the crane and the mess they had made. She was not happy.
+
+"Boys, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over the crane?"
+
+"Because he won't share!" Tim and Sam said at the same time.
+
+Mom shook her head. She took the crane and put it on a high shelf. She said, "If you can't share the crane, then you can't play with it at all. You need to learn to be kind and fair to each other. Fighting is not nice."
+
+Tim and Sam felt sad. They looked at the crane on the shelf and wished they could play with it. They realized they had been silly and mean. They said sorry to each other and hugged.
+
+"Mom, can we have the crane back?" they asked. "We promise to share and take turns."
+
+Mom smiled. She was glad they had changed their minds. She said, "Yes, you can have the crane back, but only if you play nicely and clean up your mess. And remember, the crane is not yours or his, it is ours. We share what we have with the ones we love."
+
+Tim and Sam nodded. They thanked mom and took the crane down. They played with the crane and their other toys, and had a lot of fun. They learned that sharing is caring, and that being kind is better than being right.
+Lily and Sam were playing with their blocks. They liked to make towers and bridges and houses. But they also liked to make shapes with their blocks. They had red blocks, blue blocks, yellow blocks and green blocks.
+
+"Look, Sam, I made a square with my red blocks!" Lily said, showing her shape to her brother.
+
+"That's good, Lily. But I made a circle with my blue blocks!" Sam said, holding up his shape. "A circle is round and has no corners."
+
+Lily looked at Sam's circle. She thought it was incredible. She had never made a circle with her blocks before. She wanted to try.
+
+"Can I make a circle too, Sam?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, Lily. You can use my blue blocks. I will use the yellow blocks." Sam said, sharing his blocks with his sister.
+
+They started to make circles with their blocks. They put one block on the floor, then another block next to it, then another block, and another block, until they had a circle. They made big circles and small circles, and then they put circles on top of circles.
+
+They had so much fun making circles with their blocks. They felt very happy and proud of their shapes. They showed their circles to their mom and dad, who smiled and praised them.
+
+"You are very clever, Lily and Sam. You made incredible circles with your blocks!" their mom said.
+
+"You are very creative, Lily and Sam. You made beautiful circles with your blocks!" their dad said.
+
+Lily and Sam hugged their mom and dad. They loved making shapes with their blocks. They wondered what other shapes they could make. Maybe they could make a triangle, or a star, or a heart. They decided to try. They picked up their blocks and started to make new shapes.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. But they were also very competitive. They always wanted to have more toys, more candy, more attention than the other.
+
+One day, their mom gave them a big box of jewels to play with. They were shiny and colorful and made of plastic. Anna and Ben were very happy and started to make necklaces and bracelets and crowns.
+
+But soon they began to argue. Anna wanted the pink jewels and Ben wanted the blue ones. They did not want to share or trade. They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You have enough jewels for both of you. Why can't you play nicely?"
+
+But Anna and Ben did not listen. They kept fighting and grabbing. They did not notice that their mom had left the room.
+
+Anna had an idea. She saw a small key on the table. She grabbed it and ran to the box of jewels. She locked it and put the key in her pocket.
+
+"Ha ha!" she said. "Now I have all the jewels and you have none!"
+
+Ben was very angry and sad. He tried to open the box but it was locked. He cried and stomped his feet.
+
+"That's not fair!" he said. "Give me the key!"
+
+"No!" Anna said. "They are mine!"
+
+They heard their mom coming back. They quickly hid the box under the sofa and pretended to play with other toys.
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you are getting along now. I have a surprise for you. I made some cookies for you. Do you want some?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and followed their mom to the kitchen. They forgot about the box of jewels.
+
+But when they came back, they saw that the box was gone. They looked under the sofa and behind the curtains and in the closet. But they could not find it.
+
+They saw their little brother, Sam, sitting on the floor. He was wearing a necklace and a bracelet and a crown made of jewels. He was smiling and clapping his hands.
+
+"Look!" he said. "Pretty jewels!"
+
+Anna and Ben gasped. They realized that Sam had found the box and unlocked it with his toy key. He had taken all the jewels and played with them.
+
+They felt ashamed and sorry. They had been selfish and mean to each other. They had lost their jewels and their fun.
+
+They hugged Sam and said, "We're sorry, Sam. You can have the jewels. They are for everyone to share."
+
+Sam smiled and said, "Thank you. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please. We want to play with you."
+
+They learned that sharing is better than fighting. They learned that jewels are not as important as love. They learned to be kind and generous to each other.
+Lily and Anna are best friends. They like to play in the park. They have a game. They race to the big tree and back. The winner gets a bracelet.
+
+One day, Lily and Anna race to the big tree and back. Lily is very fast. She runs and runs. Anna is not so fast. She tries to catch up. But Lily gets to the big tree first. She turns around and runs back.
+
+Anna sees Lily running back. She feels sad. She wants to win. She wants the bracelet. She sees a rock on the ground. She has a terrible idea. She picks up the rock and throws it at Lily.
+
+The rock hits Lily on the leg. Lily falls down. She cries. She is hurt. Anna runs to Lily. She sees the bracelet on Lily's wrist. She grabs it and pulls it off.
+
+Lily sees Anna take her bracelet. She cries louder. She is angry. She says, "That is not fair! You are a bad friend! Give me back my bracelet!"
+
+Anna feels bad. She knows she did a terrible thing. She says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was jealous. You are a good friend. Here is your bracelet."
+
+She gives the bracelet back to Lily. Lily stops crying. She says, "Thank you, Anna. I forgive you. You are a good friend, too. Do you want to share the bracelet?"
+
+Anna nods. She says, "Yes, please. I'm sorry I hurt you. Do you want a hug?"
+
+Lily nods. She says, "Yes, please. I'm sorry I was too fast. Do you want to race again?"
+
+Anna smiles. She says, "Yes, please. But this time, let's race together."
+
+Lily and Anna hug. They put the bracelet on each other's wrist. They hold hands and race to the big tree and back. They are happy. They are best friends.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see many leaves on the ground. The leaves are red and yellow and brown.
+
+Tom has an idea. He picks up a big leaf. He says to Mia, "Let's send this leaf to the sky!" He throws the leaf up in the air. The wind blows the leaf away.
+
+Mia thinks that is fun. She picks up another leaf. She says to Tom, "Let's send this leaf to the pond!" She tosses the leaf over the fence. The leaf lands on the water.
+
+Tom and Mia laugh. They pick up more leaves. They send them to different places. They send them to the slide, to the swing, to the bench, to the tree.
+
+But then they see a dog. The dog is big and black and furry. The dog runs to the leaves. The dog thinks the leaves are toys. The dog grabs the leaves in his mouth. He shakes them and chews them and spits them out.
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They run away from the dog. They hide behind a bush. They say to each other, "That dog is silly. He does not know what leaves are for. Leaves are for sending, not for eating!"
+Lily liked to skip in the park. She liked to see the flowers and the birds and the sun. She was a happy girl who liked to play.
+
+One day, she saw a lizard on the grass. It was green and brown and had a long tail. Lily wanted to touch it. She thought it was cute and funny. She skipped to the lizard and reached out her hand.
+
+But the lizard did not like Lily. It was scared and angry. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth. It bit Lily's finger hard. Lily screamed and cried. It hurt a lot. She dropped the lizard and ran to her mom.
+
+Her mom hugged her and looked at her finger. It was red and swollen and bleeding. Her mom said they had to go to the doctor. She said the lizard was not cute and funny. It was mean and dangerous. She said Lily was not brave. She was silly and careless.
+
+Lily felt sad and sorry. She wished she had not skipped to the lizard. She wished she had listened to her mom. She learned a hard lesson that day. She never skipped to a lizard again.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a long tongue and a wagging tail.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Lily says. She wants to pet the dog. She is polite. She asks the dog's owner, "Can I touch your dog, please?"
+
+The owner smiles. "Yes, you can. His name is Max. He is friendly. But be careful, he likes to taste things."
+
+Lily and Ben go near the dog. They stroke his fur. It is soft and warm. Max licks their hands. His tongue is wet and rough. He tastes their skin.
+
+"Wow, he is ticklish!" Ben laughs. He pulls his hand away.
+
+Lily giggles. She likes the dog. She puts her face close to his. She says, "You are a good dog, Max. I like you."
+
+Max barks. He likes Lily too. He licks her face. He tastes her nose and her cheek.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Lily says. She wipes her face. She is not angry. She is happy. She hugs the dog.
+
+The owner, Lily and Ben laugh. They have fun with Max. They are all friends.
+Ben and Tom are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. But sometimes they want the same toy and they fight. Mom and Dad do not like when they fight. They say fighting is bad and they have to share.
+
+One day, Ben and Tom are playing with a big red car. It is Ben's car, but Tom wants it too. He tries to take it from Ben. Ben says, "No, Tom, this is my car. You have your own car. Go away!" Tom says, "No, Ben, I want this car. It is better than mine. Give it to me!" They pull and push the car. They yell and cry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the car. She is angry and sad. She says, "Stop, Ben and Tom, stop! Why are you fighting? You are brothers. You should love each other and play nicely. Fighting is not nice. It hurts you and it hurts me." She takes the car away from them and puts it on a shelf. She says, "You cannot play with this car anymore. You have to say sorry to each other and hug. Then you can play with other toys. But if you fight again, you will have no toys at all. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Tom look at Mom. They look at the car. They look at each other. They feel bad. They do not want to make Mom angry and sad. They do not want to lose their toys. They do not want to hurt each other. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Tom." They hug each other. Mom smiles and hugs them too. She says, "That's good, Ben and Tom, that's good. I love you both. Now you can play with other toys. But remember, no fighting, okay?"
+
+Ben and Tom nod and say, "Okay, Mom, no fighting." They go to play with other toys. They find a ball and a truck. They share them and play nicely. They laugh and have fun. Mom watches them and is happy. She thinks, "They are good boys. They just need to learn how to get along. I hope they do not fight again. Fighting is harsh and it strikes my heart."
+Tom and Sue like to go to the park with Mom. They play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They have fun with their friends and eat snacks.
+
+One day, they see a big pile of junk near the park. It has old cars, bikes, toys and clothes. Mom says it is ancient junk. She says people throw away things they do not want anymore.
+
+Tom and Sue are curious. They want to see the junk. They ask Mom if they can go. Mom says no. She says the junk is dirty and dangerous. She says they might get hurt or sick.
+
+But Tom and Sue do not listen. They wait until Mom is busy talking to a friend. Then they sneak away and go to the junk. They climb on the cars, ride the bikes, play with the toys and try on the clothes. They think they find treasures.
+
+But they are wrong. The junk is rusty, broken, sharp and smelly. They cut their hands, scratch their legs, tear their clothes and get mud on their faces. They feel bad and scared.
+
+Mom sees them and gets angry. She runs to them and takes them away from the junk. She scolds them and cleans them. She says they are naughty and foolish. She says they should never go to the junk again.
+
+Tom and Sue are sorry. They say they are sorry to Mom. They hug her and promise to obey her. They learn their lesson. They do not go to the junk anymore. They stay in the park and play safely. They are happy.
+Sara was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new things. She had many toys, but her favorite was a big teddy bear that she called Bobo. Bobo was soft and cuddly, and he always listened to Sara's stories.
+
+One day, Sara decided to take Bobo on a picnic in the backyard. She packed some sandwiches, juice, and cookies in a basket, and put Bobo on her bike. She rode to a shady spot under a big tree, and spread a blanket on the grass. She gave Bobo a sandwich and a juice, and said, "Here you go, Bobo. Enjoy your lunch. You are a very good friend."
+
+Sara ate her sandwich and drank her juice, and then she saw something shiny in the grass. She got up and walked over to it. It was a metal pin with a colorful head. Sara picked it up and looked at it. She wondered what it was for. She thought it might be a fun toy.
+
+She went back to Bobo and said, "Look, Bobo. I found a new toy. It is shiny and pretty. Do you want to play with it?" She held the pin in front of Bobo's nose. Bobo did not answer, because he was a teddy bear. Sara smiled and said, "I know. Let's play poke. I will poke you with the toy, and you will make a funny noise. OK?"
+
+Sara did not know that the pin was sharp and could hurt Bobo. She poked Bobo's nose with the pin, and expected him to make a funny noise. But instead, Bobo made a sad noise. He said, "Ouch! That hurts, Sara. Why did you do that?" Sara was surprised and scared. She dropped the pin and looked at Bobo. Bobo had a hole in his nose, and some stuffing was coming out. He looked sad and hurt.
+
+Sara felt sorry and guilty. She did not mean to hurt Bobo. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Bobo. I did not know the toy was sharp. I thought it was a fun game. Please forgive me. You are still my best friend." Bobo forgave Sara, because he loved her. He said, "It's OK, Sara. I know you did not mean it. You are still my best friend, too. But please be careful with new toys. They might not be as nice as they look."
+
+Sara learned a lesson that day. She learned that some toys are not safe, and that she should not poke anyone with sharp things. She also learned that she should always be kind and gentle with her friends, especially Bobo. She threw away the pin, and took Bobo to her mom. Her mom fixed Bobo's nose with a needle and thread, and gave him a kiss. Sara thanked her mom, and gave Bobo another hug. She said, "I love you, Bobo. You are the most adventurous and brave teddy bear in the world." Bobo smiled and said, "I love you, too, Sara. You are the most adventurous and sweet girl in the world." They went back to the picnic, and ate some cookies. They were happy. The end.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can number the blocks from one to ten.
+
+One day, they want to see who can make the highest tower. They each take some blocks and start to build. Lily makes a tower with red and blue blocks. Tom makes a tower with yellow and green blocks. They count the blocks as they add them.
+
+"I have six blocks in my tower. How many do you have?" Lily asks Tom.
+
+"I have seven blocks in my tower. I am winning!" Tom says.
+
+Lily wants to win too. She looks for more blocks. She sees a cross block. It is white and has four arms. She thinks it will make her tower strong. She takes the cross block and puts it on top of her tower.
+
+"Look, I have seven blocks too. And I have a cross block. My tower is stronger than yours!" Lily says.
+
+Tom is cross. He does not like that Lily has a cross block. He thinks it is not fair. He wants to have a cross block too. He looks around, but he does not see any more cross blocks. He is angry. He has a bad idea.
+
+He pushes Lily's tower with his hand. The tower falls down. The blocks scatter on the floor. The cross block breaks in two.
+
+Lily is sad. She cries. She does not want to play with Tom anymore. She picks up the broken cross block and hugs it.
+
+"Tom, you are mean! You broke my tower and my cross block. You are not my friend!" Lily says.
+
+Tom is sorry. He did not mean to break the cross block. He did not think it would break. He wants to say sorry to Lily, but he does not know how. He feels bad.
+
+He looks at his tower. It is still standing, but it is not fun anymore. He does not want to play with it. He wishes he had not pushed Lily's tower. He wishes he had been nice to Lily. He wishes he had a friend.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But today, the air was cold and thick. It made their noses tickle and their eyes water.
+
+"Ah-choo!" Tom sneezed loudly. He rubbed his nose with his sleeve.
+
+"Bless you, Tom," Mia said. "Are you sick?"
+
+Tom shook his head. "No, I'm not sick. I just sneeze when the air is thick. Do you sneeze too?"
+
+Mia nodded. "Yes, I do. But not yet. Maybe later."
+
+They continued to play, but soon Mia felt a tickle in her nose too. She tried to hold it in, but it was too strong.
+
+"Ah-choo!" Mia sneezed even louder than Tom. She reached for a tissue in her pocket.
+
+"Bless you, Mia," Tom said. "Are you sick?"
+
+Mia shook her head. "No, I'm not sick. I just sneeze when the air is thick. Like you."
+
+They smiled at each other. They were not sick, they were just sneezing. They decided to go home and have some hot chocolate. Maybe that would make the air less thick. And maybe they would stop sneezing. At least for a while.
+Anna and Ben love to play with their toy reindeer. They have four reindeer: one big, one small, one brown and one white. They like to make them run and jump and fly in the air.
+
+One day, they decide to number their reindeer. They use stickers with numbers on them. They stick one on the big reindeer, two on the small reindeer, three on the brown reindeer and four on the white reindeer.
+
+"Look, we numbered our reindeer!" Anna says to Ben. "Now we can count them and know which one is which."
+
+"That's fun!" Ben says. "Let's play a game. I will close my eyes and you will hide one reindeer. Then I will open my eyes and guess which one is missing."
+
+"OK!" Anna says. She picks up the brown reindeer and hides it under a pillow. She says, "Ready!"
+
+Ben opens his eyes and looks at the other reindeer. He sees one, two and four. He thinks for a moment. He says, "I know! The brown reindeer is missing. The brown reindeer has the number three on it."
+
+"You are right!" Anna says. She takes out the brown reindeer and gives it to Ben. "You are good at this game. You can count and remember the numbers."
+
+"Thank you!" Ben says. He hugs the brown reindeer. "I like the brown reindeer. It is soft and warm."
+
+"I like it too," Anna says. "But I like all the reindeer. They are our friends."
+
+They smile and play with their reindeer some more. They have fun with their numbers and their colors. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Tom ran to find a good spot to hide. He saw a big bush with many leaves. He thought it was a perfect place to hide. He crawled under the bush and waited for Lily to find him.
+
+Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around the park and tried to guess where Tom was hiding. She saw a slide, a swing, a bench, and a tree. She did not see Tom. She walked around and called his name. "Tom, where are you? I'm coming to find you!"
+
+Tom heard Lily's voice and smiled. He stayed very quiet under the bush. He hoped Lily would not see him. He wanted to surprise her. He heard Lily's footsteps getting closer and closer. He held his breath and waited.
+
+Lily walked past the bush where Tom was hiding. She did not notice him. She kept walking and looking for Tom. She was getting tired and bored. She wished Tom would come out and play with her. She turned around and walked back to the bush. She thought she heard a noise.
+
+"Tom, are you there?" she asked. She bent down and looked under the bush. She saw Tom's face and his big grin. She was surprised and happy. She reached out her hand and said, "I found you! Come out and play with me!"
+
+Tom grabbed Lily's hand and crawled out of the bush. He was happy too. He hugged Lily and said, "You found me! You're a good seeker! I'm sorry I hid for so long. I wanted to make it fun."
+
+Lily hugged Tom back and said, "It's okay. I had fun too. But next time, don't hide so well. I missed you."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Okay. Next time, I'll hide somewhere easier. Do you want to be the hider now?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I want to be the hider. But first, let's go to the slide. I want to slide with you."
+
+Tom agreed and said, "Okay, let's go to the slide. But be careful. Don't go too fast. You might get dizzy."
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the slide and took turns sliding down. They laughed and had fun. They trusted each other and were good friends. They loved playing hide and seek in the park.
+Tim and Jen were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make up games and pretend they were different things. Tim had a big truck and Jen had a doll. They decided to have a race with their toys.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Tim shouted and pushed his truck along the floor. Jen followed him with her doll, making it hop and skip. They zoomed around the sofa, the table, and the chair. They were having fun and laughing.
+
+But then Tim saw something shiny on the shelf. It was an ashtray that Mom had brought from Grandma's house. Tim thought it looked like a trophy. He wanted to win it. He forgot about the race and reached for the ashtray.
+
+"Tim, what are you doing?" Jen asked, still holding her doll. "You can't touch that. It's Mom's."
+
+"I want it. It's perfect. It's mine." Tim said and grabbed the ashtray. But it was heavy and slippery. He dropped it and it fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces. Tim and Jen gasped.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came into the living room. She saw the broken ashtray and the toys. She was angry and sad.
+
+"Tim, Jen, what have you done?" Mom asked. "That was Grandma's ashtray. It was very special to me. How could you be so careless and naughty?"
+
+Tim and Jen felt bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They said they were sorry, but Mom was still upset. She took away their toys and sent them to their room. They had to stay there until dinner. They did not win anything. They lost their game and their fun. They wished they had not touched the ashtray.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play together every day. One day, they wanted to go to the park and see the ducks. But they had a problem. It was very cold outside and they did not have warm pants.
+
+"We need warm pants to go to the park," Lily said. "But our moms are busy. They are working and cooking and cleaning. They do not have time to give us warm pants."
+
+Tom had an idea. "I have a plan," he said. "We can take our moms' pants. They are big and warm. They will not notice. They have many pants."
+
+Lily thought that was a good plan. She agreed. They went to their moms' rooms and took their pants. They put them on over their own pants. The pants were very big and long. They dragged on the floor. They looked funny.
+
+They ran to the park. They were happy. They saw the ducks. They fed them bread. They laughed and played. They did not see their moms coming.
+
+Their moms were angry. They saw their pants on their children. They knew what they did. They scolded them. They took their pants back. They made them go home.
+
+Lily and Tom were sad. They learned a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. They should ask before they borrow. They should respect their moms. They said sorry to their moms. They hugged them. They promised to be good. Their moms forgave them. They loved them. They gave them warm pants. They let them go to the park again. They were happy.
+Sam and Lily are friends. They like to draw with pencils. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They find a big rock to sit on and draw.

+
+"Very pretty," Sam says. He nods. He draws a car. It has four black circles and a red square.
+
+"Can I see?" Lily asks. She reaches for Sam's paper.
+
+"No!" Sam says. He pulls his paper away. "This is my car. You can't touch it."

+Lily feels sad. She wants to see Sam's car. She thinks Sam is mean. She tries to grab his paper again.
+
+"Stop it!" Sam shouts. He pushes Lily. Lily falls off the rock. She hits her head on the ground. She cries.
+
+"Lily, are you okay?" Lily's mom runs to her. She picks her up and hugs her. She sees blood on Lily's head. She looks angry.
+
+"Sam, what did you do?" Sam's mom asks. She walks to Sam. She sees his paper. It has a big tear. She looks sad.
+
+"I'm sorry," Sam says. He feels bad. He likes Lily. He did not want to hurt her. He was just afraid she would take his car.
+
+"It's too late to be sorry," Lily's mom says. She takes Lily to the car. She says they need to go to the doctor. She says they are not friends with Sam anymore.
+
+Sam watches them leave. He feels alone. He looks at his paper. He thinks his car is stupid. He throws his paper away. He wishes he could say sorry to Lily. He wishes he could draw with her again. He cries.

+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They did not want to hurt the oysters. They wanted to be good and listen to mom. They put the oysters back in the water, and watched them sink into the sand.

+
+Sara and Ben are scared. They see their shapes go everywhere. They see Rex's big teeth and his wet nose. They think he will hurt them or their toys.
+
+"Rex, no! Bad dog! Leave our toys alone!" Sara and Ben shout.
+
+They run to their mom and dad, who are in the kitchen. They tell them what Rex did. Mom and dad go to the living room and see Rex with the box. They tell Rex to drop it and give him a bone. They pick up the shapes and put them back in the box. They hug Sara and Ben and tell them it is okay.
+
+"Rex is sorry, Sara and Ben. He did not mean to scare you or ruin your toys. He just wanted to play too. He is a good dog, but he does not know how to match shapes. He only knows how to chew bones." Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They are not scared anymore. They still love Rex, but they do not want him to touch their toys. They take their box of shapes and go to their room. They close the door and play with their shapes again. They match them and have fun. They are happy.

+
+One day, Lily wanted to play guitar outside. She asked her dad, "Can I take my guitar to the park?" Her dad smiled and said, "Sure, but be careful. Don't let anyone take it or break it. It's very special." Lily nodded and said, "I will, dad. Thank you!" She put on her hat and coat, and carried her guitar to the park.
+
+At the park, Lily saw her friend Ben. He was playing with a ball. He saw Lily and said, "Hi, Lily! What do you have?" Lily showed him her guitar and said, "It's my guitar. My dad gave it to me. Do you want to hear me play?" Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please!" Lily sat on a bench and played a song for Ben. He clapped and said, "Wow, Lily, you're very good!"
+
+Then, Lily saw another boy. He was bigger than Lily and Ben. He had a mean face and a dirty shirt. He walked over to Lily and said, "Hey, that's a nice guitar. Can I have it?" Lily shook her head and said, "No, it's mine. My dad gave it to me. It's very special." The boy frowned and said, "Well, I want it. Give it to me, or I'll make you cry." He reached for the guitar, but Lily held it tight.
+
+Ben saw what was happening and said, "Leave her alone! She doesn't want to give you her guitar. It's hers. Go away!" The boy pushed Ben and said, "Shut up! You can't tell me what to do. I'll take whatever I want." He grabbed the guitar from Lily and ran away. Lily and Ben shouted, "Stop! Thief! Help!"
+
+Lily and Ben chased the boy, but he was too fast. He ran across the street, where a car was coming. The driver saw the boy and honked. The boy got scared and dropped the guitar. The guitar fell on the ground and broke. The strings snapped, the wood cracked, and the colors faded. The boy ran away, leaving the guitar behind.
+
+Lily and Ben reached the guitar and saw what happened. They were very sad. Lily cried and said, "My guitar! My guitar is broken! My dad gave it to me. It was very special." Ben hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That boy was very mean. He shouldn't have taken your guitar. He should have let you keep it."
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was Lily's dad. He had heard the commotion and came to the park. He saw Lily and Ben and the broken guitar. He said, "Lily, what happened? Are you okay?" Lily ran to her dad and said, "Dad, dad, a boy took my guitar and broke it. It was very special. You gave it to me." Her dad hugged her and said, "I know, Lily. I know. I'm sorry. That boy was very wrong. He should have let you play with your guitar. He should have been nice."
+
+He looked at the broken guitar and said, "Don't worry, Lily. We can fix it. We can get new strings, new wood, and new colors. We can make it even more special. We can make it together.

+Just as he was about to look inside, Jeff heard a voice. "Stop! That's my bottle! Put it down!" It was his friend Emily.
+
+Jeff looked up and saw Emily smiling. "It's okay," she said. "I'm glad you found it. I was looking everywhere for it yesterday."
+
+Jeff handed the yellow bottle back to Emily. She thanked him and said, "Let's keep playing!" 
+
+And they did. They ran and laughed until the sun went down.
+Once upon a time there was a nice girl named Maggie. Everywhere she went she smiled and said hello.
+
+One day, Maggie was walking along when she heard a voice. It said, "Maggie, stay here, don't go anywhere." Maggie stopped and looked around. She couldn't see anyone, but she could still hear the voice.
+
+Maggie was scared and wanted her mom. "Mommy, mommy!" she called out.
+
+Just then, a big, smelly dog came out from behind a bush. "I'm the one who talked to you, Maggie," said the dog. Maggie was surprised. She had never seen a talking dog before. 
+
+The dog explained that he was very lonely and wanted Maggie to stay and talk to him. Maggie looked around and saw that no one else was around. She decided that she could stay and be friends with the smelly dog.
+
+Maggie and the smelly dog spoke the whole day. They became fast friends and played lots of fun games. Every day Maggie went back to visit her new friend and they talked and laughed and had a great time.
+Once upon a time, there was a small animal. He was feeling very miserable. He wanted to find something to make him happy.
+
+He decided to take a walk. As he was walking, he saw a tree with a rope tied to one of its branches. He wondered what this rope was for.
+
+The animal pulled at it, and suddenly, a box appeared from inside the tree! He was so excited and opened the box. Inside, there was a toy car.
+
+The animal smiled and said, "Wow! I'm no longer miserable!" He sat behind the wheel and drove around. He had lots of fun from that day onwards.
+Once upon a time, there was a group of children who wanted to go for a picnic. They gathered in the park and decided to make some delicious food. One of the children noticed that there were some broccoli plants growing near the picnic spot. He suggested to the others that they should pick the broccoli and make a salad.
+
+The others were excited! "We can pick the broccoli and make a salad?", they said.
+
+But one of the children remained ignorant. "No, that's silly!", he said. "We can't pick the broccoli. Who knows who it belongs to?"
+
+The others tried to tell him it was okay, but he just shook his head.
+
+Finally, one of the children stepped up and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We can pick the broccoli and make a salad. Let's try it!"
