I’ll give it back.†The cat was glad that the mouse was polite and so she said, “OK, Mouse, I’ll let you keep the rod, just don’t stir up any more trouble!†+ +The mouse nodded gratefully and scampered away with his hairy rod.

"We are in trouble!" +Lila and Ben were twins who lived in a small house in the valley. They liked to play outside, but today the sky was gloomy and the wind was cold. They did not want to go out. + +"Can we go to the store with Mom?" Lila asked Ben. "Maybe she will buy us a treat." + +Ben nodded. He liked the store. It had many things to look at and touch. He hoped Mom would let them get a toy or a book. + +They put on their coats and shoes and followed Mom to the car. Mom drove them to the store. It was not far, but it was on a hill. They could see the valley from the window. + +"Look, Lila, the valley is so gray," Ben said. "But the store is bright and colorful." + +Lila smiled. She saw the store too. It had a big sign with letters and pictures. She could not read the letters, but she knew what the pictures meant. There was a picture of a cake, a picture of a ball, and a picture of a flower. + +"Maybe Mom will buy us a cake, or a ball, or a flower," Lila said. + +Mom parked the car and took them by the hand. She led them to the store. They walked through the door and heard a bell ring. + +"Hello, welcome to the store," a friendly voice said. It was the storekeeper. He had a big smile and a red apron. He knew Mom and the twins. + +"Hello, we are here to buy some things," Mom said. + +"What do you need?" the storekeeper asked. + +Mom gave him a list. She needed some bread, some milk, some eggs, and some cheese. The storekeeper helped her find them. + +While Mom was busy, Lila and Ben looked around the store. They saw many things they liked. They saw toys, books, clothes, candy, and more. They wished they could have them all. + +They went to the toy section and saw a shelf with many dolls and cars. Lila liked the dolls. They had pretty dresses and hair. Ben liked the cars. They had shiny wheels and doors. + +"Can we have one, Mom?" Lila and Ben asked at the same time. + +Mom looked at them and smiled. She knew they had been good and they deserved a treat. + +"OK, you can each choose one," she said. + +Lila and Ben were happy. They thanked Mom and hugged her. They picked their favorite doll and car and showed them to the storekeeper. + +The storekeeper smiled and said, "Those are very nice. You are lucky to have such a nice Mom." + +He put the doll and the car in a bag and gave it to them. He also gave them a sticker and a lollipop. + +"Thank you, Mr. Storekeeper," Lila and Ben said. + +They waved goodbye and followed Mom to the car. They held their bag and their lollipop. They were very happy. + +They drove back to the valley. The sky was still gloomy and the wind was still cold. But Lila and Ben did not mind. They had their new toys and their Mom. They felt warm and cozy. + +They went inside their house and played with their doll and their car. They shared their lollipop and their sticker. They had a lot of fun. + +They did not notice the gloomy valley. They only saw the bright store. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play outside. One day, they saw a mysterious box near the big tree. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they found a cute puppy with brown fur and black spots. + +"Wow, a puppy!" Lily said. "Can we keep it, Ben?" + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe we should ask Mom first," Ben said. + +But Lily was too excited. She picked up the puppy and carried it to their house. She wanted to show it to Mom and Dad. Ben followed her, but he was worried. + +When they got to the house, they saw Mom and Dad sitting on the couch. They looked angry and scared. They had red spots on their faces and arms. + +"Lily, Ben, what are you doing here?" Mom said. "You should be at Grandma's. There is a bad sickness going around. We don't want you to get sick too." + +Lily and Ben did not understand. They wanted to hug Mom and Dad and show them the puppy. But Mom and Dad shouted at them to stay away. + +"Put that puppy down, Lily!" Dad said. "That puppy is not safe. It has the sickness too. It can make you sick. It can make you die." + +Lily and Ben were shocked and sad. They did not want to die. They did not want the puppy to die. They loved the puppy. They thought the puppy loved them. + +But it was too late. The puppy had bitten Lily when she carried it. Lily had the sickness too. She started to feel hot and tired. She fell to the floor. Ben cried and ran to her. He tried to help her. But he had the sickness too. He had touched the puppy. He had touched Lily. He fell to the floor too. + +Mom and Dad could not help them. They could only watch and cry. They had lost their children. They had lost their hope. The mysterious box had brought them a terrible gift. The end. +Lily liked to dance. She danced in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She danced with her dolls, her teddy, and her mom. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. + +One day, Lily found a crystal in the garden. It was shiny and sparkly and made rainbow colors when she held it to the sun. She thought it was the most beautiful thing she ever saw. She wanted to dance with it and show it to everyone. + +She ran to the house with the crystal in her hand. She wanted to show it to her mom, who was making cookies in the kitchen. But she did not see the rug on the floor. She tripped and fell. The crystal flew out of her hand and broke on the wall. Lily cried. She was hurt and sad. She lost her beautiful crystal. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to help her. She hugged her and kissed her and put a band-aid on her knee. She told her she was sorry about the crystal. She said she had something to make her feel better. She gave her a cookie and a glass of milk. She also gave her a new crystal. It was bigger and prettier than the one she found. It was a gift from her grandma, who loved her very much. + +Lily smiled. She thanked her mom and her grandma. She felt better. She still liked to dance. She danced with her new crystal, her cookie, and her mom. She danced with joy, with love, and with gratitude. She was a helpful girl. She helped her mom clean up the broken crystal. She helped her mom make more cookies. She helped her mom smile. She was a happy girl. She had a happy mom. They had a happy dance. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bag of rice on a bench. They are hungry and want to eat some. + +"Can we have some rice?" Lily asks Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe it belongs to someone else," Tom says. + +They look around and see no one. They open the bag and take some rice in their hands. It is white and dry. + +"Let's try it," Lily says. + +They put some rice in their mouths. It is hard and tasteless. They spit it out. + +"Yuck! This rice is bad," Tom says. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is an old man with a hat and a cane. He is the owner of the rice. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my rice?" he asks. + +Lily and Tom are scared. They drop the rice and run away. + +"Wait, don't go!" the old man says. "I'm not angry. I want to talk to you." + +But Lily and Tom are too fast. They hide behind a tree. + +The old man walks to the bench and picks up his rice. He sees that some of it is on the ground. He sighs. + +"This rice is not for eating. It is for feeding the birds. I come here every day to give them some food. They are my friends," he says. + +He looks at the tree and sees Lily and Tom peeking. He smiles. + +"Come here, children. Don't be afraid. I have something for you," he says. + +He takes out two apples from his pocket. They are red and shiny. + +"Here, have these. They are good for you. They are sweet and juicy," he says. + +He holds out the apples to Lily and Tom. They are curious and hungry. They come out of the tree and take the apples. + +"Thank you, sir," Lily says. + +"Yes, thank you," Tom says. + +They bite the apples and smile. They are delicious. + +The old man is happy. He sees the birds flying around. He throws some rice in the air. The birds catch it and sing. + +"You see, children, we can all share and be kind. We can all gain something from each other. The birds gain rice, you gain apples, and I gain your company," he says. + +Lily and Tom nod. They understand. They finish their apples and hug the old man. + +They have made a new friend. +Anna likes to play school with her toys. She is the teacher and her toys are the students. She teaches them how to count, how to spell and how to draw. She is very good at teaching. + +One day, she decides to give her toys an exam. She makes some questions on a paper and gives it to each toy. She tells them to write the answers and to be quiet. She says, "This is an exam. You have to show me what you learned. Do your best." + +Some toys are good at the exam. They write the right answers and finish quickly. They are happy and proud. Some toys are not good at the exam. They write the wrong answers or nothing at all. They are sad and scared. They think Anna will be angry. + +Anna collects the papers and looks at them. She sees that some toys did well and some toys did not. She is not angry. She is kind and patient. She says, "You all tried hard. I am proud of you. But some of you need more help. I will teach you again until you understand. Do not worry. You can do it." + +She gives each toy a sweet as a reward. She says, "This is a sweet. It is yummy and makes you happy. You deserve it. You are good students. I love you." The toys are happy and grateful. They love Anna. They hug her and say, "Thank you, teacher. You are the best." +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had a big box of toys, but their favorite was the tea set. They would pretend to have tea parties with their stuffed animals and dolls. Sometimes they would invite their mom or dad to join them. + +One day, they were having a tea party in their room when they heard their mom call them. "Anna, Ben, come downstairs! It's time for lunch!" she said. Anna and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They loved lunch, especially when mom made sandwiches and soup. They quickly put their toys away and ran downstairs. + +But when they got to the kitchen, they saw that mom was not happy. She had a harsh look on her face and a big mess on the floor. There was soup spilled everywhere, and the sandwiches were burned. "What happened, mom?" Anna asked. Mom sighed and said, "I was making lunch for you, but I forgot to watch the stove. The soup boiled over and the sandwiches got too hot. I'm sorry, kids, there's no lunch today." + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for mom. They knew she worked hard to take care of them and the house. They also remembered how they had fun with their tea set. They had an idea. "Mom, don't be sad," Ben said. "We have something for you. Come upstairs with us!" + +Mom was curious and followed them to their room. There, they had set up a new tea party with their toys. They had used their crayons and paper to make pretend sandwiches and soup. They had also made a card that said, "We love you, mom!" They invited mom to sit down and have tea with them. Mom smiled and hugged them. She was touched by their kindness and creativity. She said, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are the best kids ever. You made my day!" + +Anna and Ben were happy to see mom happy. They learned that sometimes things go wrong, but they can always find a way to make them better. They also learned that sharing and caring are more important than having real food. They enjoyed their tea party with mom and their toys. They had a lot of fun and love. +Lily wanted to help her mom make a cake. She saw mom stir the flour and eggs in a big bowl. Lily asked, "Can I stir too, mom?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. Here, take this spoon and stir gently. Don't spill the batter." + +Lily took the spoon and tried to stir the batter. But it was hard and sticky. She had to use both hands to move the spoon. She felt frustrated. She wanted to stir like mom, but she couldn't. + +She pushed the spoon harder and harder. Then, the spoon slipped from her hands and flew out of the bowl. It hit the wall and made a loud noise. Some batter splashed on Lily's face and clothes. + +Mom gasped and said, "Oh, Lily, what happened?" + +Lily looked at the mess and started to cry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to stir, but I couldn't. The spoon was too big and the batter was too thick. I'm a bad helper." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "No, Lily, you're not a bad helper. You're a good girl who wanted to help. Stirring is not easy. It takes practice and patience. Sometimes, things don't go as we want. But we can try again and learn from our mistakes." + +Mom wiped Lily's face and clothes with a cloth. She said, "Let's clean up this mess together. Then, we can finish the cake. I have a match to light the candles. Do you want to blow them out with me?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I want to blow out the candles. And I want to eat the cake. And I want to stir again. But next time, can I have a smaller spoon?" + +Mom laughed and said, "Of course, Lily. You can have a smaller spoon. And I'll help you stir. We'll make a great team." +Ben loves baseball. He has a baseball and a bat. He wants to play with his dad. He runs to his dad and says, "Dad, dad, can we play baseball?" + +Dad smiles and says, "Sure, Ben. Let's go to the park. It is a sunny day. We can have fun." + +Ben is excited. He grabs his baseball and his bat. He follows his dad to the park. He sees a big field with grass and trees. He sees other kids playing and laughing. + +Dad says, "OK, Ben. I will pitch the ball to you. You have to hit it with your bat. Are you ready?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, dad. I am ready. I can do it." + +Dad lifts the ball in his hand. He throws it to Ben. Ben swings his bat. He hits the ball. The ball flies in the air. Ben and dad watch the ball. They see it land far away. + +Ben and dad cheer. They are happy. Ben says, "Wow, dad. I did it. I hit the ball. That was fun." + +Dad says, "You did great, Ben. You are a good baseball player. I am proud of you." + +Ben and dad hug. They play some more. They have a good time. They love baseball. They love each other. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big red balloon. It was shiny and round and had a long string. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "Can we play with it?" + +"Sure, let's take turns," Tom said. "But be careful, don't let it go. It will fly away and we will lose it." + +They took turns holding the balloon and running around the park. They felt happy and free. The balloon bounced in the air and made them laugh. + +But then, a big wind came. It blew hard and fast. It caught the balloon and pulled it away from Tom's hand. + +"Oh no!" Tom cried. "The balloon is flying away!" + +Lily ran after the balloon. She wanted to catch it and prevent it from flying away. She stretched her arm and tried to grab the string. But the wind was too strong. The balloon flew higher and higher, until it was a tiny dot in the sky. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They lost their balloon. They sat on the grass and cried. + +"Sorry, Lily," Tom said. "It was my fault. I should have held it tighter." + +"No, Tom," Lily said. "It was not your fault. It was the wind's fault. It was mean and rude. It took our balloon." + +They hugged each other and wiped their tears. They looked at the sky. It was blue and clear and peaceful. They saw a bird flying by. It was singing a sweet song. + +"Look, Tom," Lily said. "A bird. Maybe it is our friend. Maybe it will find our balloon and bring it back to us." + +"Maybe, Lily," Tom said. "Or maybe our balloon is happy too. Maybe it is flying with the other balloons and having fun." + +They smiled and hoped. They still missed their balloon, but they felt better. They still had each other. They were still best friends. +Lily liked to play with clay. She had many colors of clay, but her favorite was orange. She liked the way it felt in her hands. She liked the texture of the clay. It was soft and smooth and squishy. + +One day, Lily was making a big orange ball with her clay. She rolled it and rolled it until it was round and shiny. She was very proud of her ball. She put it on the table and went to get some water. + +But when she came back, she saw something terrible. Her brother Tom had taken her ball and smashed it. He had made a mess of her clay. He had disturbed her ball. Lily was very angry and sad. She cried and shouted at Tom. + +Tom was sorry. He did not mean to disturb Lily's ball. He just wanted to see what was inside. He thought it was an orange. He liked oranges. He said he was sorry and gave Lily a hug. + +Lily was still angry, but she also felt sorry for Tom. He did not know it was her clay. He was just curious. She decided to forgive him. She said it was okay and gave him a hug back. + +Then they had an idea. They could use the clay to make something else. Something they both liked. They decided to make a big orange cat. They used the clay to make the body, the head, the ears, the tail, and the whiskers. They had fun making the cat. They liked the texture of the clay. It was soft and smooth and squishy. + +They were very proud of their cat. They put it on the table and went to show their mom. They hoped she would not disturb their cat. They hoped she would like it. They hoped she would give them some real oranges. They liked oranges. They liked clay. They liked each other. +One day, Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a loud siren. It was a fireman truck. They ran to see what was happening. + +"Look, there is a fire in that house!" Lily said, pointing to a house with smoke and flames. + +"Oh no, that is scary!" Tom said, holding Lily's hand. + +The firemen jumped out of the truck. They wore helmets and coats. They had hoses and ladders. They sprayed water on the fire. They climbed the ladders to the windows. They looked for people and pets. + +"Is anyone in there?" one fireman shouted. + +"No, the house is empty!" another fireman answered. "We checked all the rooms." + +"Good, let's put out the fire before it spreads to other houses!" the first fireman said. + +Tom and Lily watched as the firemen worked hard. They felt sad for the house, but glad that no one was hurt. + +"Wow, the firemen are brave and strong!" Lily said. + +"Yes, they are. They help people and animals. They stop fires. They are heroes!" Tom said. + +They clapped and cheered for the firemen. The firemen smiled and waved at them. They finished their job and got back in the truck. They drove away with the siren. + +"Bye, firemen! Thank you!" Tom and Lily shouted. + +They went back to their play. They pretended to be firemen. They used sticks as hoses and cardboard boxes as trucks. They had fun and learned a lot. +Tom and Lily liked to collect things. They had a big box of rocks, shells, feathers, and buttons. One day, they went to the park with their mom. They saw a nurse in a gray dress. She was sitting on a bench and reading a book. + +"Hello, nurse," Tom said. "What are you doing?" + +"Hello, Tom," the nurse said. "I'm reading a book. It's about animals." + +"Can we see?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can see," the nurse said. She showed them the book. It had pictures of lions, elephants, monkeys, and birds. + +"Wow, they are so big and colorful," Tom said. + +"I like the birds," Lily said. "They have feathers like we collect." + +The nurse smiled. "Do you want to hear a story about the birds?" she asked. + +"Yes, please," Tom and Lily said. + +The nurse opened the book and read them a story. It was about a gray bird who wanted to be colorful like the other birds. He tried to collect different things to make himself look bright. He found a red ribbon, a blue button, a yellow flower, and a green leaf. He tied them to his feathers and flew to show his friends. + +But the other birds laughed at him. They said he looked silly and messy. The gray bird felt sad and flew away. He untied the things from his feathers and threw them away. He wished he could be like the other birds. + +Then he saw a big rainbow in the sky. It had all the colors he wanted. He flew closer to the rainbow and saw something shiny. It was a silver star. It had fallen from the sky and landed on the rainbow. The gray bird was curious and touched the star. It sparkled and made a sound. + +"Hello, gray bird," the star said. "You are very brave and kind. You flew so high to see me. I have a gift for you. You can have any color you want. Just wish for it and it will be yours." + +The gray bird was surprised and happy. He thanked the star and thought about what color he wanted. He looked at the rainbow and the other birds. He saw how beautiful they were, but he also saw how they were mean to him. He realized that he liked himself the way he was. He didn't need to change to be happy. + +"I wish to be gray," he said. + +The star smiled. "You are very wise, gray bird. You are happy with yourself. That is the best color of all. You can keep me as a friend. I will always shine for you." + +The gray bird felt a warm feeling in his heart. He hugged the star and put it in his nest. He flew back to his friends and showed them his star. They were amazed and sorry. They apologized to him and asked him to be their friend. The gray bird forgave them and agreed. He was happy and proud to be gray. + +The nurse finished the story and closed the book. Tom and Lily clapped their hands and cheered. + +"That was a great story, nurse," Tom said. + +"Thank you for reading to us, nurse," Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Tom and Lily," the nurse said. "I'm glad you liked it. You are very polite and sweet. You can keep the book as a gift. It has more stories about animals." + +Tom and Lily hugged the nurse and thanked her again. They took the book and ran to their mom. They showed her the book and told her about the story. Their mom smiled and praised them. + +"That was very nice of the nurse," she said. "And that was a wonderful story. You learned a good lesson. It doesn't matter what color you are. What matters is how you feel and how you treat others. You are both very special and I love you." + +Tom and Lily smiled and hugged their mom. They loved her too. They were happy and proud to be themselves. +Sara and Lily were playing with their mom's makeup. They liked to put on lipstick, eyeshadow and blush. They felt like big girls. + +"Look at me, I'm so pretty!" Sara said, looking at herself in the mirror. + +"You are pretty, but I'm prettier!" Lily said, making a funny face. + +They giggled and hugged each other. They were best friends and sisters. + +But then they heard their mom coming. She was not happy to see them with her makeup. + +"Girls, what are you doing? This is my makeup, not yours! You made a big mess!" she said, sounding angry. + +Sara and Lily felt scared and sorry. They did not mean to upset their mom. + +"Mommy, we're sorry, we just wanted to play. Please don't be mad at us!" Sara said, holding Lily's hand. + +"Yeah, mommy, we love you. We won't do it again!" Lily said, giving her mom a kiss. + +Their mom sighed and smiled. She loved her girls, even when they were naughty. + +"It's okay, girls, I'm not mad at you. But you have to ask me before you use my things. And you have to clean up after yourselves. Do you understand?" she said, kneeling down to hug them. + +"Yes, mommy, we understand. We'll help you clean up. And we'll ask you next time." Sara and Lily said, nodding. + +They helped their mom wipe off the makeup from their faces and the table. They also put the makeup back in the drawer. + +"Thank you, girls, you're very good helpers. And you know what? You don't need makeup to be pretty. You're beautiful just the way you are." their mom said, kissing them on the forehead. + +"Really, mommy?" Sara asked, looking at her mom with big eyes. + +"Really, really. And I'm proud of you for supporting each other. You're the best sisters ever." their mom said, hugging them tight. + +"We love you, mommy. And we love each other. We're a happy family." Lily said, smiling. + +They all cuddled on the couch and watched a movie. They felt happy and loved. They did not need makeup to be happy. They had each other. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to draw with crayons. They have many crayons of different colors. They also have one big eraser. The eraser is white and soft. + +One day, they want to draw a rainbow. They use red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple crayons. They draw a big arc on the paper. But they make a mistake. They draw the blue and the purple too close. They want to erase the blue and the purple and draw them again. + +They look for the eraser. They see it on the table. They both run to the table. They both grab the eraser. They both pull the eraser. The eraser is not strong. The eraser splits in two. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. "We broke the eraser!" + +"Sorry!" Ben says. "I wanted to erase the blue!" + +"Me too!" Lily says. "I wanted to erase the purple!" + +They look at the eraser. They see that it is still white and soft. They see that it can still erase. They have an idea. + +"Maybe we can share the eraser," Lily says. "You can have one half and I can have the other half." + +"That's a good idea," Ben says. "Then we can both erase our mistakes." + +They smile at each other. They take their half of the eraser. They are careful not to pull it again. They go back to their paper. They erase the blue and the purple. They draw them again. They finish their rainbow. They are happy. They are still friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with many round and soft things on it. They wanted to try them. + +"Look, Ben, these are peaches!" Lily said. "They are sweet and juicy. Let's pick some." + +They climbed the tree and reached for the peaches. They pulled and pulled until they had two peaches in their hands. They were happy and hungry. + +They sat on a branch and bit into their peaches. They felt something hard and crunchy in their mouths. They spit it out and looked at their peaches. They were open and had a big seed inside. + +"Yuck, what is this?" Ben said. "This is not good. This hurts my teeth." + +Lily looked at her peach and saw something moving on the seed. It was a worm. A long and slimy worm. It was eating the peach. + +"Ah, Ben, look!" Lily screamed. "There is a worm in my peach. A worm! It is gross and scary." + +Ben looked at his peach and saw another worm on his seed. He dropped his peach and jumped off the branch. He ran away from the tree. + +Lily was still on the tree. She was afraid and alone. She wanted to get down, but she did not know how. She cried and cried. + +The worms ate the peaches and crawled on the tree. They came closer and closer to Lily. She saw them and screamed louder and louder. + +The end. +Sam liked to sell things. He had a table in his yard with toys, books and rocks. He made signs with crayons and paper. He asked people to buy his things for one coin or two. + +One day, a man came to Sam's table. He wore a big hat and a long coat. He had a shiny thing in his hand. He said, "Hello, little boy. Do you want to sell me your planet?" + +Sam was confused. He did not have a planet. He only had toys, books and rocks. He said, "No, thank you. I do not have a planet. What is a planet?" + +The man smiled. He said, "A planet is a big ball of dirt and water and air that floats in the sky. You live on a planet called Earth. I want to buy your planet and take it with me to another place." + +Sam was scared. He did not want to sell his planet. He liked his planet. He liked his home, his family, his friends and his yard. He said, "No, thank you. I do not want to sell my planet. Please go away." + +But the man was persistent. He did not go away. He said, "Please, little boy. I will give you many coins for your planet. You can buy more toys, books and rocks. You can buy anything you want. Just give me your planet." + +Sam was angry. He did not want more coins. He did not want anything from the man. He wanted the man to leave him alone. He said, "No, thank you. I do not want to sell my planet. Go away or I will call my mom." + +The man was surprised. He did not expect Sam to be so brave and smart. He said, "Okay, okay. I will go away. But remember, little boy, your planet is very special and precious. You should take good care of it and share it with others." + +Sam nodded. He said, "I will. Thank you for telling me. Goodbye, mister." + +The man left. Sam was happy. He hugged his toys, books and rocks. He looked at the sky and saw the sun, the moon and the stars. He said, "I love my planet. It is the best planet ever." +Lila and Ben like to design things. They use paper, crayons, scissors and glue. They make cards, hats, animals and more. They have fun with their designs. + +One day, they decide to design the earth. They find a big ball and cover it with paper. They draw on the paper with crayons. They make blue for the water, green for the land, yellow for the sun and white for the clouds. They also draw some cute animals, like cats, dogs, birds and fish. + +They show their design to their mom. She smiles and says, "Wow, you made a beautiful earth! I love your cute animals. How did you do it?" + +Lila and Ben explain how they used paper, crayons, scissors and glue. They say, "We like to design things. We use our imagination and creativity." + +Mom hugs them and says, "You are very talented and clever. I'm proud of you. You can design anything you want." She puts their earth on a shelf and admires it. Lila and Ben feel happy and proud. They think of what they will design next. +Jill and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big tree in their yard with many leaves. Sometimes they would climb the tree and pretend to be birds or monkeys. But they had to be careful not to fall and hurt themselves. + +One day, they saw a big red apple hanging from a branch. They both wanted to have it for a snack. They tried to reach it, but it was too high. They got a stick and poked the apple, but it did not move. They got a ladder and put it against the tree, but it was too short. + +"I have an idea," said Jill. "You go on the ladder and I will push you up. Then you can grab the apple and give it to me." + +"OK," said Ben. He climbed on the ladder and Jill pushed him up. He stretched his arm and touched the apple. But the apple was spoiled. It had a big hole with worms inside. Ben was so grossed out that he let go of the ladder and fell to the ground. + +"Ouch!" he cried. "That hurt!" + +Jill ran to him and hugged him. "Are you OK, Ben?" she asked. + +"I'm OK, Jill," he said. "But the apple was bad. It had bugs in it. Yuck!" + +They threw the apple away and decided to have cookies instead. They learned that not all apples are good to eat. And they learned to be more careful when they play on the tree. They did not want to fall again. +Sam and Mia are twins. They live in a big city with many cars and people. They like to play in the park with their ball and their dog. One day, they see a big truck with many boxes. The truck stops near the park. Sam and Mia are curious. They want to see what is in the boxes. + +They run to the truck and climb on it. They open one box. It has many toys inside. Sam and Mia are happy. They take some toys and play with them. They do not see the man who drives the truck. He is angry. He comes to the truck and sees Sam and Mia. + +"Hey, what are you doing? These are not your toys. These are for the store. Get off my truck!" he shouts. + +Sam and Mia are scared. They drop the toys and try to get off the truck. But the man grabs them by their arms. He twists their arms and hurts them. He wants to take them to the police. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Let us go! You are mean!" Sam and Mia cry. + +Their dog hears them. He runs to the truck and barks at the man. He bites the man's leg. The man lets go of Sam and Mia. He kicks the dog. The dog runs away. + +Sam and Mia run to the park. They find their ball and their dog. They hug their dog and say sorry. They are hungry. They want to go home. They do not like the truck or the man. They do not want to see the boxes or the toys again. They learn a lesson. They do not take things that are not theirs. They are happy to have their ball and their dog. They love their ball and their dog. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to Jen's house. Jen's mom gives them some juice and cookies. Tom is happy. He likes juice and cookies. + +"Can I have more juice, please?" Tom asks Jen's mom. + +"Sure, Tom. Here you go." Jen's mom pours more juice for Tom. + +Jen is not happy. She wants more juice too. But her mom says no. + +"Jen, you had enough juice. You don't want to be too thin. You need to eat more food." Jen's mom says. + +"But I want more juice!" Jen cries. She is angry. She looks at Tom. He has a big glass of juice. She wants his juice. + +Jen grabs Tom's glass. She tries to take it from him. Tom holds on to his glass. He does not want to share. + +"Hey, stop it! That's my juice!" Tom shouts. + +"No, it's mine! Give it to me!" Jen yells. + +They pull and tug. The juice spills. It goes on the floor, on the table, on their clothes. Jen's mom sees the mess. She is very mad. + +"Jen, Tom, what are you doing? Look what you did! You wasted the juice and made a big mess. You are both very naughty. You need to go home now. No more playtime for you." Jen's mom says. + +Jen and Tom are sad. They say sorry. But it is too late. They have to go home. They have no juice and no cookies. They have no fun. They are not friends anymore. +Tom is a boy who likes to play with cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them go fast on the floor and on the table. He likes to say "vroom, vroom" when he plays with them. + +One day, Tom goes to visit his dad at work. His dad works in a big place with many rooms and machines. His dad says it is a lab. Tom is curious and wants to see what his dad does. His dad says he can show him, but he has to be careful and listen. + +His dad takes him to a room with a big machine that has a seat and a wheel. His dad says it is a simulator. It is like a car, but it does not move. It only shows pictures on a screen. His dad says he can try it, but he has to wear a helmet and a belt. + +Tom is excited and puts on the helmet and the belt. He sits on the seat and holds the wheel. His dad turns on the machine and says "ready, set, go". Tom sees a picture of a road and other cars on the screen. He turns the wheel and presses a pedal. The picture moves and he feels like he is driving. He says "vroom, vroom" and smiles. + +Tom likes the simulator. He thinks it is fun and fast. He drives for a while and sees many things on the screen. He sees trees, houses, bridges, and animals. He tries to avoid the other cars and follow the signs. He feels like he is a big boy. + +His dad watches him and smiles too. He is proud of Tom and happy that he likes his work. He thinks Tom is smart and brave. He says "good job, Tom, you are a great driver". Tom hears him and says "thank you, dad, I love you". They hug and laugh. They have a good time in the lab. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They like to make them go fast and make loud noises. They pretend they are driving to different places. + +"Let's go to the gas station," Tom says. "Our cars need more oil." + +"Okay," Lily says. "But oil is expensive. We need to pay a lot of money." + +They drive their cars to a corner of the room, where they have a cardboard box with a sign that says "Gas Station". They take turns filling their cars with oil from a plastic bottle. + +"How much is the oil?" Tom asks. + +"Five dollars for each car," Lily says. + +"That's too much!" Tom says. "Why is oil so expensive?" + +"Because oil is hard to find," Lily says. "It comes from deep under the ground. People have to dig and dig and dig to get it. And they have to use big machines and trucks and boats to move it. And they have to provide oil for many cars and houses and factories. So oil is expensive." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He does not like to spend a lot of money. He has an idea. + +"Maybe we can use something else instead of oil," he says. "Something that is easy to find and cheap." + +"Like what?" Lily asks. + +Tom looks around the room. He sees a bottle of water, a bottle of juice, and a bottle of ketchup. He picks up the bottle of ketchup. + +"Let's use ketchup!" he says. "Ketchup is red and sticky and yummy. And we have a lot of it." + +He pours some ketchup into his car. He tries to make it go. But the car does not move. It makes a funny noise and smells bad. + +"Uh-oh," Tom says. "Ketchup is not good for cars. It makes them sick." + +Lily laughs. She shakes her head. + +"Tom, you are silly," she says. "You can't use ketchup instead of oil. Oil is special. It helps cars run smoothly and fast. Ketchup is for eating, not for driving." + +Tom feels sorry. He looks at his car. He hopes it will be okay. + +"I'm sorry, car," he says. "I did not know. I will not use ketchup again. I will use oil. Even if it is expensive." + +He takes his car to the gas station. He pays Lily five dollars. He fills his car with oil. He makes it go. The car moves again. It makes a happy noise. + +Tom smiles. He is glad his car is better. He learns a lesson. + +"Oil is important," he says. "And sometimes, expensive things are worth it." +Lily and Ben were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They were very happy. They had to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Lily liked to pack her pink dress and her doll. Ben liked to pack his blue shirt and his car. + +"Are you ready?" Mom asked. "We have to go soon." + +"Yes, Mom!" Lily and Ben said. They zipped their bags and carried them to the car. + +But when they got to the car, they heard a loud noise. Boom! It was thunder. The sky was dark and angry. Rain started to fall. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "I don't like thunder. It scares me." + +"Me too," Ben said. He hugged his car. + +Mom smiled and hugged them both. "Don't worry, my loves. Thunder is just a sound. It can't hurt you. And we have a big umbrella to keep us dry. Come on, let's go to Grandma and Grandpa. They are waiting for us." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They followed Mom to the car. They put their bags in the trunk. Mom opened the umbrella and held it over them. They got in the car and buckled their seat belts. + +Mom started the car and drove away. The thunder still boomed, but Lily and Ben felt safe and cozy. They looked out the window and saw a chubby bird sitting on a branch. The bird was wet and unhappy. + +"Look, Mom!" Lily said. "A chubby bird!" + +"Maybe he needs an umbrella too," Ben said. + +They laughed and waved at the bird. The bird looked at them and chirped. He seemed to say thank you. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy. They were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. And they had each other. +Tom and Lily like to play sport. They like to run, jump, and kick a ball. They have a big field near their house where they can play. + +One day, they see a new sign on the field. It says: "Do not play here. We are testing the grass." Tom and Lily do not know what testing means. They think it is a new game. + +"Let's try it!" Tom says. He is careless. He does not listen to signs. + +"No, Tom. We should not. It may be bad." Lily says. She is careful. She listens to signs. + +But Tom does not listen to Lily. He runs to the field and kicks the ball. He laughs and shouts: "This is fun! Come on, Lily!" + +Lily shakes her head. She stays on the path. She sees a man coming. He is wearing a white coat and a hat. He has a clipboard and a pen. He looks angry. + +"Hey, you! Get off the field! You are ruining my test!" he yells at Tom. + +Tom is scared. He drops the ball and runs back to Lily. He is sorry. He did not know he was doing something wrong. + +"I'm sorry, sir. I did not know what testing was. I thought it was a game." he says. + +The man sighs. He picks up the ball and gives it to Tom. He says: "Testing is not a game. It is when you check something to see if it works or not. I was testing the grass to see if it grows well. But you stepped on it and made it flat. Now I have to start again." + +Tom and Lily feel bad. They say: "We are sorry, sir. We will not do it again. We will play somewhere else." + +The man nods. He says: "Thank you. Be careful next time. And have fun with your sport. But not here." + +Tom and Lily say: "Bye, sir." They take their ball and go to another field. They play sport there. They are careful. They listen to signs. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used some things from the cupboard, like salt and sugar and flour. + +But one day, they saw a new thing in the cupboard. It was a small bottle with a red cap. It had a label, but they could not read it. It was unknown to them. + +"Look, Ben, what is this?" Lily asked, holding the bottle. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it is something good. Let's try it," Ben said, opening the cap. + +"No, Ben, stop! We don't know what it is. It could be bad. It could make us sick. We should ask Mom first," Lily said, grabbing the bottle from Ben. + +"But I want to know. I want to taste it. It looks fun," Ben said, trying to get the bottle back. + +They started to pull and tug on the bottle. They did not see that the cap was loose. Suddenly, the bottle slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. The liquid inside spilled out. It was not fun. It was not good. It was very bad. It was bleach. + +It made a big mess. It smelled bad. It burned their eyes and noses. It ruined their clothes and toys. They started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the bottle and the spill and the children. She was very angry and very scared. + +"What have you done? This is bleach. It is very dangerous. You could have hurt yourselves. You should never touch unknown things in the cupboard. You should always ask me first. Do you understand?" Mom said, scolding them. + +"Yes, Mom, we understand. We are sorry. We were curious. We won't do it again," Lily and Ben said, sobbing. + +Mom hugged them and cleaned them up. She was glad they were not hurt. She taught them a lesson. She also put a lock on the cupboard. + +The moral of the story is: Do not touch unknown things in the cupboard. They could be harmful. Always ask an adult before you try something new. +Lily was a young musician. She liked to pick songs and play them on her piano. She had a big show today at her school. She was very excited and nervous. + +She practiced her songs at home with her mom. Her mom said, "You are very good, Lily. I am proud of you. Do you know what song you will pick for the show?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I will pick the song that you taught me. The one that makes me happy. It is called 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "That is a lovely song, Lily. I am sure everyone will like it. But remember, it is not how you pick the song, but how you play it. Play it with your heart, and you will shine like a star." + +Lily hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I will play it with my heart." + +At the school, Lily waited for her turn. She saw other musicians play their songs. Some played guitars, some played drums, some played flutes. They were all good, but Lily was not scared. She knew her song was special. + +When it was her turn, she walked to the piano. She saw her mom in the crowd. She smiled at her. She sat on the stool. She put her fingers on the keys. She took a deep breath. She played her song. + +"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are." + +The music filled the room. It was soft and sweet and bright. Lily played it with her heart. She felt happy. She looked at the sky. She saw a star. It twinkled at her. + +The song ended. The crowd clapped. They cheered. They loved her song. Lily bowed. She was proud. She was a star. +Tom and Mia like to play ball in the park. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they run after the ball when it goes far. They have fun and laugh. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He sees Tom and Mia playing ball. He wants to play too. He asks them, "Can I play with you?" + +Tom and Mia say, "Yes, you can play with us. We are nice and we share." + +The big boy says, "Thank you. I am Sam. I can throw the ball very high. Watch me." He takes the ball and throws it high in the sky. The ball goes over the trees and out of the park. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They say, "Sam, why did you do that? You threw our ball away. Now we can't play anymore." + +Sam says, "Sorry, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to show you how high I can throw. Let's go and find the ball." + +Tom and Mia say, "No, we don't want to go with you. You are not nice and you don't share. You can go and find the ball by yourself. We quit playing with you." + +Sam feels bad. He says, "Please, don't be mad at me. I will find the ball and bring it back. I will be nice and share. Please, give me another pass." + +Tom and Mia think for a moment. They say, "OK, Sam. We will give you another pass. But you have to be careful and not throw the ball too high. And you have to take turns and let us throw too. Do you understand?" + +Sam says, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Tom and Mia. You are good friends. Let's go and find the ball and play again." + +Tom and Mia smile. They say, "You're welcome, Sam. You are a good friend too. Let's go and find the ball and play again." They run after Sam and look for the ball. They hope they can find it and have fun. +Anna liked roses. She liked to smell them and touch them and look at their colors. She had a rose bush in her garden that her mommy gave her. She watered it every day and sang to it. + +One day, she saw a boy in her garden. He was holding a big stick and he was hitting her rose bush. He was breaking the roses and making them fall. Anna was very angry and sad. She ran to the boy and shouted. + +"Stop! Stop! You are hurting my roses! They are mine! Go away!" + +The boy looked at her and laughed. He was bigger than Anna and he had a gloomy face. He did not like roses. He liked to make trouble. + +"I don't care about your roses. They are stupid and boring. I do what I want. You can't stop me." + +He hit the rose bush again and again. Anna felt tears in her eyes. She did not know what to do. She wished her mommy was here. + +Then, she heard a loud bark. It was her dog, Rex. Rex was big and strong and he loved Anna. He saw the boy hurting Anna's roses and he did not like it. He ran to the garden and jumped on the boy. He bit his stick and made him drop it. He growled and barked and scared the boy. + +The boy screamed and ran away. He did not want to mess with Rex. He left Anna's roses alone. + +Anna hugged Rex and thanked him. She was happy that he saved her roses. She picked up the broken roses and put them in a vase. She gave one to Rex and one to her mommy. She told her mommy what happened and her mommy hugged her too. + +She said, "You are very brave, Anna. And you have a very good friend in Rex. He did a good thing. I'm sorry that the boy was mean to you and your roses. But don't worry, your rose bush will grow again. And you will always have roses in your heart." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big bird with a long wing. It was black and white and had a red face. Lily and Ben wanted to see the bird up close. + +They ran to the bird and tried to touch it. The bird did not like that. It made a loud noise and opened its big mouth. It had sharp teeth and a long tongue. The bird was dangerous. It wanted to bite Lily and Ben. + +"Yell for help!" Lily said to Ben. "The bird is angry!" + +Ben yelled as loud as he could. He hoped someone would hear him. He was scared of the bird. + +A man heard Ben's yell. He was a zookeeper. He worked with the bird. He knew it was a vulture. He ran to the park and saw Lily and Ben. He had a net and a stick. + +"Stay away from the bird!" the zookeeper said. "It is not a pet. It is a wild animal. It can hurt you." + +He threw the net over the bird and grabbed it with the stick. He put the bird in a cage. He took it back to the zoo. + +Lily and Ben were safe. They were sorry for bothering the bird. They thanked the zookeeper for saving them. + +The zookeeper was nice. He told them about the bird. He said it was a vulture. He said it ate dead things. He said it had a long wing to fly high. He said it had a red face to stay clean. + +Lily and Ben learned something new. They said goodbye to the bird and the zookeeper. They went back to playing. They decided to look at the birds from far away. They did not want to make them angry again. +Lily was playing with her dolls in the garden. She liked to make them talk and have tea parties. She did not mind the bugs that crawled on the grass. She thought they were friendly and interesting. + +But then she saw a big spider on her doll's dress. It had eight legs and many eyes. It was black and hairy. Lily was scared of the spider. She screamed and dropped her doll. + +"Mommy, mommy, help me!" she cried. "There is a spider on my doll!" + +Her mommy came running from the house. She saw the spider and picked up the doll. She was not scared of the spider. She smiled and said to Lily: + +"Don't worry, my dear. The spider is not bad. It is just looking for a place to live. It does not want to hurt you or your doll. It is just a little creature like you." + +She gently shook the doll and the spider fell off. She put the doll in Lily's arms and said: + +"See? The spider is gone. Your doll is fine. Do you want to keep playing with her?" + +Lily looked at her doll and then at her mommy. She saw that her mommy was right. The spider was not bad. It was just different. She nodded and said: + +"Yes, mommy. I want to keep playing with her. Thank you for helping me. I don't mind the spider anymore." + +She hugged her mommy and then her doll. She smiled and said: + +"Let's have some more tea, doll. And maybe we can invite the spider next time. He might be lonely." + +Her mommy laughed and said: + +"Maybe we can, Lily. Maybe we can. You are very kind and brave, my dear. I love you very much." + +She kissed Lily and went back to the house. Lily kept playing with her doll and the bugs. She was happy and curious. She did not mind the spider anymore. She had a wide heart. +Anna liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted on paper, on walls, on rocks. She painted flowers, animals, houses. She painted what she saw and what she dreamed. + +One day, she went to the lake with her dad. Her dad was a fisherman. He had a big boat and a long net. He caught many fish and sold them at the market. He taught Anna how to fish, too. She liked to fish, but she liked to paint more. + +She brought her paints and brushes to the lake. She saw a big tree near the water. She thought it would be a good place to paint. She asked her dad if she could paint there. He said yes, but he told her to be careful. He said the tree was old and had a hole. He said there might be something inside the hole. He said he would come back soon. + +Anna nodded and ran to the tree. She set up her paints and brushes on the ground. She looked at the lake and the sky. She saw many colors and shapes. She started to paint. She painted the blue water, the white clouds, the green grass. She painted a red boat, a yellow net, a brown fish. She painted her dad, smiling and waving. + +She was happy. She wanted to paint more. She looked at the tree. She saw the hole. She wondered what was inside. She was curious. She decided to paint the hole. She took a black brush and dipped it in black paint. She moved the brush to the hole. + +But before she could touch the paper, she heard a loud roar. She jumped and dropped the brush. She looked at the hole. She saw two big eyes, a long nose, and sharp teeth. It was a bear! The bear was angry. It did not like Anna's paint. It wanted to scare her away. + +Anna screamed. She ran away from the tree. She ran to the lake. She saw her dad. He heard her scream. He saw the bear. He was worried. He grabbed his net and threw it at the bear. The net caught the bear. The bear was trapped. It could not move. + +Anna reached her dad. He hugged her. He asked her if she was okay. She said yes, but she was scared. He said he was sorry. He said he did not know there was a bear in the hole. He said he would call someone to help the bear. He said he was proud of her painting. He said it was very good. + +Anna smiled. She was glad her dad was there. She was glad he liked her painting. She looked at her painting. She saw the hole. She saw the black brush. She had an idea. She picked up the brush. She dipped it in black paint. She moved the brush to the hole. She painted the bear. She painted the eyes, the nose, the teeth. She painted the roar. + +She finished her painting. She showed it to her dad. He laughed. He said it was amazing. He said it was the best painting he ever saw. He said it was not normal. He said it was special. He said she was special. + +Anna was happy. She liked to paint. She liked to fish. She liked her dad. She liked the lake. She liked the tree. She liked the bear. She liked her painting. She liked her story. +Sara was very happy today. She was going to visit her grandma and grandpa. They lived in a big house with a garden and many flowers. Sara loved to play with them and help them with their chores. + +When she arrived, her grandma and grandpa gave her a big hug and a kiss. They said, "Welcome, Sara! We are so glad you are here. We have a surprise for you in the kitchen. Come and see!" + +Sara followed them to the kitchen. On the table, there was a big cake with candles and a card. Sara's eyes widened. She said, "Wow! Is it my birthday?" + +Her grandma and grandpa smiled. They said, "No, it is not your birthday. But we wanted to celebrate something special. Do you know what it is?" + +Sara thought for a moment. She said, "Is it because I learned to tie my shoes?" + +Her grandma and grandpa nodded. They said, "Yes, that is one reason. But there is another reason. Look at the card. What does it say?" + +Sara looked at the card. It had a picture of a baby and some words. She said, "It says, 'You are going to be a big sister!'" + +Her grandma and grandpa clapped. They said, "That's right! Your mommy and daddy are going to have a baby. You are going to have a little brother or sister soon. Isn't that wonderful?" + +Sara was very surprised. She said, "Really? A baby? I am going to be a big sister?" + +Her grandma and grandpa said, "Yes, really. A baby. You are going to be a big sister. And we are going to be grandparents again. We are so happy for you and your family." + +Sara felt a warm feeling in her heart. She said, "I am happy too. I can't wait to meet the baby. I will love him or her very much. And I will teach him or her how to tie shoes and play games and read books." + +Her grandma and grandpa said, "We know you will. You are a very good and smart girl. And you will be a very good and kind sister. We are very proud of you." + +They hugged Sara again. Then they cut the cake and sang a song. Sara made a wish and blew out the candles. She wished for the baby to be healthy and happy. And she wished for her family to be together and have fun. + +She noticed something shiny on the cake. It was a pin. It had a picture of a baby and some words. It said, "I am a big sister!" + +Her grandma and grandpa said, "This is for you, Sara. You can wear it and show everyone that you are a big sister. It is a very unusual and special pin. Just like you." + +Sara smiled. She said, "Thank you, grandma and grandpa. I love you. And I love my pin. And I love my family. And I love the baby. This is the best day ever." +Lily was a little bunny who loved to hop. She hopped in the grass, in the woods, and in the garden. She hopped with her friends, her family, and her toys. She hopped when she was happy, when she was curious, and when she was bored. + +One day, she hopped too far and got lost. She did not see any of her friends, her family, or her toys. She only saw big trees, dark shadows, and strange noises. She felt scared and alone. The sky was gloomy and it looked like rain. + +She heard a growl behind her. She turned around and saw a big wolf. The wolf had sharp teeth, yellow eyes, and a hungry look. He wanted to eat Lily for his meat. He said, "Hello, little bunny. You look tasty and tender. Come here and let me have a bite." + +Lily was very afraid. She did not want to be the wolf's meat. She wanted to go back to her home, where she was safe and loved. She said, "No, no, no. Please, Mr. Wolf, do not eat me. I am just a little bunny. I have a family and friends who need me. Please, let me go." + +The wolf did not listen. He licked his lips and moved closer to Lily. He said, "Sorry, little bunny. I am hungry and you are my meat. I do not care about your family and friends. You cannot go. You are mine." + +Lily did not give up. She used her quick legs and her smart brain. She saw a big rock near her. She said, "Mr. Wolf, I have a deal for you. If you can hop over this rock, I will let you eat me. But if you cannot hop over this rock, you have to let me go. Do you agree?" + +The wolf thought he was clever. He said, "Sure, little bunny. I agree. I can hop over any rock. This is easy. Watch me." + +The wolf ran and jumped. But he was too big and too heavy. He hit the rock with his head and fell down. He was dizzy and hurt. He could not get up. + +Lily saw her chance. She hopped over the wolf and the rock. She hopped as fast as she could. She hopped until she found her way back to her home. She hopped into her mother's arms and told her what happened. She hopped with her friends, her family, and her toys. She hopped when she was happy, when she was curious, and when she was brave. + +She never hopped too far again. +Tom and Sam like to play sport. They like to run and kick and throw. They are friends, but sometimes they fight. One day, they play soccer in the park. Tom has a new ball. It is red and shiny. Sam wants to play with it. + +"Can I kick your ball, Tom?" Sam asks. + +"No, it is mine. You have your own ball," Tom says. + +"But your ball is nicer. Please, let me try," Sam begs. + +"No, go away. You are not my friend," Tom says. + +Sam is angry. He wants to make Tom sad. He waits for Tom to look away. Then he runs to Tom's ball. He picks it up. He bites it hard. He makes a hole in it. He laughs. + +"Ha ha, look at your ball now, Tom. It is broken. You are stupid," Sam says. + +Tom hears Sam. He turns around. He sees his ball. It is not shiny anymore. It has a hole. He is very sad. He loves his ball. He starts to cry. + +"Why did you do that, Sam? You are mean. You are a bad friend," Tom says. + +Sam feels sorry. He sees Tom cry. He remembers they are friends. He knows he did a wrong thing. He wants to say sorry. But he does not know how. + +"I...I...I was just playing. I did not mean to break your ball. I...I...I am sorry, Tom," Sam says. + +But Tom does not listen. He is too sad. He runs away. He leaves his ball. He leaves Sam. He goes to his mom. She is sitting on a bench. She is bald. She has no hair. She is sick. But she is always kind and loving. She hugs Tom. She wipes his tears. She makes him feel better. + +"What happened, Tom? Why are you crying?" she asks. + +"Sam bit my ball. He broke it. He was mean to me," Tom says. + +"Oh, Tom, I am sorry. That was not nice of Sam. But maybe he did not know how to share.

Ben frowns. He sees the colors and shapes he does not know. He does not write anything. + +The teacher collects the test. She says, "Good job, Anna. You did very well. You got all the answers right." She says, "Ben, you did not do very well. You did not write any answers. You need to study more." + +Anna feels happy. She is proud of herself. She says to Ben, "I'm sorry, Ben. You can study with me next time. I can help you." Ben feels sad. He is ashamed of himself. He says to Anna, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. I need your help." + +Anna hugs Ben. She says, "Don't be sad, Ben. You can do better next time. I believe in you." Ben hugs Anna. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You make me feel better. I appreciate you." Then, they kiss each other on the cheek. They are friends. They care for each other. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy animals. They had a big scale to weigh them and see who was heavier. Lily had a lion, a giraffe and a monkey. Ben had a bear, a zebra and a snake. + +"Let's weigh the lion and the bear first," Lily said. "They are both big and strong." + +"OK," Ben agreed. He put the bear on one side of the scale and Lily put the lion on the other. The scale tipped to the lion's side. + +"The lion is heavier than the bear," Lily said. "He wins!" + +"Let's try the giraffe and the zebra next," Ben said. He put the zebra on one side of the scale and Lily put the giraffe on the other. The scale tipped to the giraffe's side. + +"The giraffe is heavier than the zebra," Lily said. "She wins!" + +"Let's try the monkey and the snake last," Ben said. He put the snake on one side of the scale and Lily put the monkey on the other. The scale did not tip. + +"The monkey and the snake are the same weight," Lily said. "They tie!" + +But then the snake moved and wrapped itself around the cord that held the scale. The cord snapped and the scale fell to the floor with a loud bang. + +Lily and Ben were scared and nervous. They ran to their mom and told her what happened. + +"Mom, the snake broke the scale!" Lily cried. + +"Mom, the snake was too strong for the cord!" Ben cried. + +Mom hugged them and calmed them down. She looked at the scale and the snake. + +"Don't worry, kids," she said. "The scale is not broken, it just needs a new cord. And the snake is not mean, it just likes to play. Let's put the snake back in its cage and clean up the mess. Then we can have some cookies and milk and read a story." +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, their mom gives them a big box. She says, "This is a gift from your aunt. She lives far away. She sent you something fun." + +Sara and Ben open the box. They find two pairs of sunglasses. One is pink and one is blue. They are very shiny and cool. Sara and Ben put them on and smile. They say, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, aunt. We love our sunglasses." + +Mom says, "You're welcome, sweeties. But be careful. Don't lose them or break them. They are very special." + +Sara and Ben nod. They run outside with their sunglasses. They pretend they are spies. They look for clues and secrets. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, a big dog comes. He is fast and loud. He runs after Sara and Ben. He wants to play. He jumps and barks. Sara and Ben are scared. They drop their sunglasses and run away. + +The dog finds the sunglasses. He thinks they are toys. He bites them and shakes them. He breaks them and scratches them. He makes a big mess. + +Sara and Ben come back. They see the dog and the sunglasses. They are very sad and angry. They say, "Bad dog! Bad dog! You ruined our sunglasses. They were our gift. They were very special." + +Mom hears them and comes outside. She sees the dog and the sunglasses. She is very sorry and sad. She says, "Oh, no. I'm so sorry, Sara and Ben. The dog didn't know. He was just playing. But he shouldn't have done that. He was very naughty." + +She hugs Sara and Ben. She says, "Don't worry. I'll call your aunt. I'll tell her what happened. Maybe she can send you another gift. Something that the dog can't break. Something that you can still have fun with." + +Sara and Ben hug mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you. And we love aunt. And we love our sunglasses. Even if they are broken. They were very shiny and cool." +Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the forest. One day, they saw a bush with many red berries. They were hungry and wanted to try them. + +"Look, Tom, berries!" Lila said. "They look yummy!" + +"Let's pick some and eat them," Tom said. "But be careful, some berries are bad." + +They picked some berries and put them in their mouths. They were sweet and juicy. But then, they felt something strange. Their mouths started to glow! + +"Ah, what is happening?" Lila cried. "My mouth is glowing!" + +"Mine too!" Tom said. "These berries are magic!" + +They ran to the stream and tried to wash their mouths. But the glow did not go away. They were scared and sad. + +"Maybe we should go home and tell our moms," Lila said. "Maybe they can help us." + +"OK, let's go," Tom said. "But they will be angry with us. We should not have eaten the berries." + +They walked back to their homes, holding hands. They hoped the glow would fade soon. They felt sorry for eating the magic berries. They learned a lesson: always ask before you eat something new. +Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big glass on the table. It was full of juice. Sara wanted to drink some juice. She said to Ben, "I want juice. Give me the glass." + +Ben said, "No, Sara. The glass is too big for you. You will drop it and make a mess. Mommy will be angry. Let me carry the glass for you." + +Sara was stubborn. She did not listen to Ben. She said, "No, Ben. I can carry the glass. I am big and strong. You are silly and weak. Give me the glass now." + +Ben did not want to fight with Sara. He gave her the glass. Sara took the glass and smiled. She said, "See, Ben. I can carry the glass. I am big and strong. You are silly and weak." + +But Sara was not careful. She walked too fast and tripped on the rug. The glass fell from her hand and broke on the floor. The juice spilled everywhere. Sara and Ben were wet and sticky. They heard Mommy coming. They were scared. + +Mommy saw the mess and the broken glass. She was very angry. She said, "Sara and Ben, what have you done? You are naughty and careless. You could have hurt yourself with the glass. You are in big trouble. Go to your room and stay there. No more juice for you today." + +Sara and Ben were sad and sorry. They wished they had listened to Ben. They learned a lesson. They should not be stubborn and greedy. They should be careful and share. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. But they have to put on lotion first. Lotion helps their skin stay soft and not hurt. + +"Are you ready, Sam?" Lily asks. She has a bottle of lotion in her hand. + +"Yes, I am ready, Lily," Sam says. He holds out his arms and legs. Lily puts lotion on him. Then Sam puts lotion on Lily. + +"Thank you, Sam," Lily says. "Now we can go and play." + +They run to the swing and the slide. They have fun. They hope the sun will stay out for a long time. They do not want to go inside. They want to play more. +Lily loved her big sister Mia. Mia was very kind and played with Lily a lot. Mia also had a secret. She had a surprise for Lily's birthday. She saved her money and bought something special. + +Lily's birthday came. She was very happy. She got a cake and a balloon and a new dress. She thanked her mom and dad and hugged them. But she wondered where Mia was. She missed her sister. + +Then she heard a knock on the door. She ran to open it. There was Mia, smiling and holding a box. Lily was curious. What was in the box? Mia said, "Happy birthday, Lily! I have a surprise for you. Open the box and see!" + +Lily opened the box carefully. She saw something furry and soft. It moved and made a noise. It was a puppy! A cute, brown puppy with a red bow. Lily gasped. She loved puppies. She always wanted one. She reached out and touched the puppy. The puppy licked her hand and wagged its tail. + +Lily was so happy. She hugged the puppy and then hugged Mia. She said, "Thank you, Mia! You are the best sister ever! This is the best surprise ever! I love you and I love my puppy!" Mia smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you too. And I'm glad you like your puppy. He's not an ordinary puppy. He's very smart and loyal and brave. He will be your best friend. I named him Hero. Do you like his name?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I like his name. He is my hero. And you are my hero too, Mia." They laughed and cuddled with Hero. They had a very happy birthday. +Lila was a big sister. She had a baby brother named Ben. Ben was an infant. He was very small and cried a lot. Lila loved Ben, but sometimes she wished he would be quiet. + +One day, Lila and Ben were in the living room with Mom. Mom was reading a book to Lila. Ben was in his crib, sleeping. Lila liked the book. It was about a princess and a dragon. She wanted to know what would happen next. + +But then, Ben woke up. He started to cry. He was hungry and wet. Mom put down the book and went to pick up Ben. She said, "I'm sorry, Lila. I have to feed and change Ben. We'll finish the book later, okay?" + +Lila felt sad. She wanted Mom to read to her. She did not want to wait. She said, "No, Mom. I want to hear the end. Ben can wait. He always cries." + +Mom paused. She looked at Lila with a serious face. She said, "Lila, Ben is your brother. He needs me right now. He can't wait. He doesn't know how to talk or do things by himself. You are a big sister. You can be patient and kind. You can help me with Ben. How would you feel if I ignored you when you were crying?" + +Lila thought about it. She remembered when she was an infant. She remembered how Mom hugged her and sang to her and made her feel comfortable. She remembered how Mom always loved her and paid attention to her. She felt sorry for Ben. She felt sorry for Mom. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. You're right. Ben is my brother. I love him. I want to help you. Can I hold him after you feed him?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Of course, Lila. You are a good big sister. Thank you for understanding. Come, let's go to the kitchen. I'll feed Ben and you can get a snack. Then we can all cuddle on the couch and finish the book." + +Lila nodded. She followed Mom and Ben to the kitchen. She felt happy. She felt proud. She felt like a big sister. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park. There is a big slide in the park. Sara and Tom love to slide down the slide. They laugh and shout as they slide. + +One day, Sara and Tom see a lady in the park. She has a shiny bag. The bag smells nice. Sara and Tom are curious. They want to see what is in the bag. + +"Hello, lady," Sara says. "What is in your bag?" + +The lady smiles. "This is my perfume," she says. "It makes me smell good. Do you want to try some?" + +Sara and Tom nod. The lady sprays some perfume on their wrists. They sniff. They like the smell. + +"Thank you, lady," Tom says. "Your perfume is lovely." + +The lady puts her bag on the bench. She goes to get some water. Sara and Tom see the bag. They have a naughty idea. + +"Let's take the bag," Sara whispers. "We can have more perfume." + +Tom agrees. They grab the bag and run to the slide. They slide down the slide with the bag. They think they are clever. + +But the lady sees them. She is angry. She runs after them. She catches them at the bottom of the slide. + +"Hey, you naughty children!" she shouts. "Give me back my bag! That is not yours!" + +Sara and Tom are scared. They drop the bag. They say sorry. + +The lady takes her bag. She checks her perfume. It is still there. She is relieved. + +She looks at Sara and Tom. They look sad. They know they did wrong. + +The lady sighs. She is not so angry anymore. She sprays some perfume on their wrists again. + +"Here, you can have some more perfume," she says. "But don't take things that are not yours. That is bad. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Tom nod. They understand. They thank the lady. They hug her. + +The lady hugs them back. She smiles. She is not so angry anymore. + +She tells them to go and play. She watches them slide down the slide. They laugh and shout as they slide. They are happy. They are not naughty anymore. +One day, Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a big worm and a shiny stone. They were very happy. + +But then, a loud noise made them jump. They looked up and saw a big truck in front of their house. The truck had a big arm that could grab things. The truck grabbed their house and lifted it up. Ben and Lily were very upset. + +"Hey, that's our house!" Ben shouted. "Put it back!" + +"Mommy, Daddy, where are you?" Lily cried. + +They ran to the truck and tried to stop it. But the truck driver did not see them. He did not hear them. He drove away with their house. + +Ben and Lily were left alone in the garden. They did not know what to do. They hugged each other and cried. + +Then, they saw a car appear. It was their mommy and daddy. They had gone to the shop and did not know what happened. They saw Ben and Lily and ran to them. They hugged them and kissed them. + +"Mommy, Daddy, the truck took our house!" Ben said. + +"What? What truck? Where is our house?" Mommy asked. + +They looked around and saw no house. They saw only a big hole in the ground. They were very confused. + +"Mommy, Daddy, we're sorry. We didn't do anything. We were just playing," Lily said. + +"It's not your fault, sweeties. It's a mistake. The truck driver made a mistake. He took the wrong house. He was supposed to take the old house next door. He will bring our house back soon. Don't worry," Daddy said. + +He called the truck driver on his phone and told him to come back. He was very angry. + +Ben and Lily felt a little better. They hoped their house would come back soon. They hoped their toys and their bed and their books were still inside. They hoped the worm and the stone were still in the garden. They waited with their mommy and daddy. They waited for their house to appear. +Sara was a girl who liked to learn new things. She had a book with many pictures of animals. She wanted to teach her little brother Tom the names of the animals. She pointed to a picture of a lion and said, "This is a lion. It is big and yellow and has a mane. It can roar very loud. Can you say lion?" + +Tom looked at the picture and tried to say lion, but it came out as "loin". Sara smiled and said, "That's close, but not quite. Try again. Lion." + +Tom tried again and said, "Lion." Sara clapped and said, "Very good, Tom. You are smart. Now, what is this?" She pointed to a picture of a bird. + +Tom looked at the picture and said, "Bird. It is small and blue and has wings. It can fly and sing. Bird." + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. You are very good at this. Now, what is this?" She pointed to a picture of a snake. + +Tom looked at the picture and said, "Snake. It is long and green and has no legs. It can slither and hiss. Snake." + +Sara said, "That's correct. You are amazing. Now, what is this?" She pointed to a picture of a skeleton. + +Tom looked at the picture and said, "I don't know. What is it?" + +Sara said, "It is a skeleton. It is what is left of a person or an animal when they are dead. Dead means they are not alive anymore. They cannot move or talk or feel. They are gone." + +Tom frowned and said, "That is sad. I don't like dead. I like alive." + +Sara hugged him and said, "Me too, Tom. Me too. But sometimes, things die. It is part of life. We have to be kind and gentle to the things that are alive. We have to love them and take care of them. We have to recognize that they are precious and special. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and said, "I understand. I love you, Sara. You are precious and special to me. You teach me many things." + +Sara smiled and said, "I love you too, Tom. You are precious and special to me. You make me happy." + +The end. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today they want to prepare a surprise for Mom. They go to the kitchen and look for things to make a cake. + +"Look, Ben, I found some eggs and flour and sugar," Anna says. + +"Good, Anna, we need those. And I found some butter and milk and chocolate," Ben says. + +They put everything in a big bowl and mix it with a spoon. They are very happy. They do not see that they are making a big mess. + +Mom is in the living room. She hears some noise from the kitchen. She wonders what the twins are doing. She goes to check on them. + +She sees the bowl and the spoon and the cake mix on the table and on the floor and on the twins' clothes. She sees the eggs and the flour and the sugar and the butter and the milk and the chocolate on the counter and on the stove and on the walls. She sees the twins' faces. They are smiling and proud. + +"Mom, look, we made you a cake!" Anna and Ben say. + +Mom is very surprised. She does not know what to say. She loves the twins very much. She knows they are clumsy, but they are also sweet and kind. + +She hugs them and says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben, you are very thoughtful. But next time, please ask me before you use the kitchen. And now, let's clean up this mess together." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big hole in the ground. Lily wanted to look inside, but Tom said no. + +"It is a trap. Bad people make traps to catch animals or kids. We should stay away," Tom said. + +But Lily did not listen. She was curious and brave. She insisted on going to the hole. She said, "I want to see what is in there. Maybe there is a treasure or a fairy. You are scared, but I am not." + +Tom tried to stop her, but Lily ran to the hole. She leaned over and peered inside. She saw something shiny and reached for it. But it was a trick. The shiny thing was a metal can with a string. When Lily touched it, the string pulled and the hole closed. Lily was trapped inside. + +Tom heard Lily scream and ran to help her. He tried to dig the hole open, but it was too hard and deep. He shouted for help, but no one heard him. The park was empty and quiet. Everyone was busy at home or at school. Tom and Lily were alone and scared. They did not know what to do. They wished they had listened to Tom and stayed away from the trap. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big vine on the wall. The vine has many green leaves and purple flowers. + +"Look, Ben, a vine!" Lila says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is," Ben says. "But what is it doing here?" + +They stare at the vine. They wonder where it came from. They walk closer to the vine. They touch the leaves and the flowers. They smell the sweet scent. + +"Maybe it is a magic vine," Lila says. "Maybe it can do tricks." + +"Like what?" Ben asks. + +Lila thinks. She is clever. She has an idea. + +"Maybe it can make us fly," she says. "Maybe we can climb on it and go up, up, up." + +Ben likes the idea. He is brave. He grabs the vine. He tries to pull himself up. + +"Come on, Lila, let's fly!" he says. + +Lila grabs the vine too. She tries to follow Ben. But the vine is not magic. It is not strong. It breaks. Lila and Ben fall down. They land on the grass. They are not hurt. But they are sad. + +The vine is not magic. It is just a vine. They stare at the broken vine. They wish they could fly. +Ben and Lily were playing with blocks in the living room. They built a big tower with many colors. They were happy and proud of their tower. + +"Look, Mommy, look!" Ben shouted. "We made a tower!" + +Mommy came and smiled. "Wow, that's a very nice tower. You are very good at building, Ben and Lily." + +But then, a loud noise came from outside. It was a group of big trucks. They were driving very fast and making a lot of noise. They were going to destroy the old house next door. + +Ben and Lily ran to the window and watched. They saw the trucks smash the house with their big arms. They saw the house fall down and make a big mess. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "The trucks are destroying the house!" + +But as they watched, they did not see the cat. The cat was sneaky and curious. The cat jumped on the table and walked towards the tower. The cat wanted to touch the tower. + +The cat reached the tower and pushed it with its paw. The tower wobbled and then crashed. The blocks flew everywhere and made a loud noise. + +Ben and Lily turned around and saw their tower destroyed. They were sad and angry. + +"Bad cat, bad cat!" Ben yelled. "You destroyed our tower!" + +They ran to the cat and tried to catch it. But the cat was fast and ran away. Ben and Lily chased the cat around the living room. + +Mommy saw the mess and shook her head. She picked up the blocks and put them in a box. She called Ben and Lily and said: + +"Come on, kids, it's time to clean up. The cat did not mean to destroy your tower. It was just playing. Maybe you can build another tower later. But first, you have to help me clean up." + +Ben and Lily stopped chasing the cat and came to Mommy. They said they were sorry and helped her clean up. They learned that sometimes things get destroyed, but they can always make new things. And they learned to be careful with the cat. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big basket full of apples on the porch. They wanted to eat some, but their mom said no. She said the apples were for grandma, who was sick. + +"Please, mom, can we have just one?" Tom asked. + +"No, you can't. If you touch the basket, you will be punished. Now go and play with your toys," mom said. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They went to their room, but they did not want to play with their toys. They wanted to eat the apples. They thought the basket was very interesting. It had red and green and yellow apples, and they looked juicy and sweet. + +"I have an idea," Lily whispered. "Let's sneak out and take one apple each. Mom won't notice." + +Tom nodded. He thought it was a good idea. They waited until mom was busy in the kitchen, and then they ran to the porch. They grabbed one apple each and hid them under their shirts. They were about to go back to their room, when they heard mom's voice. + +"Tom! Lily! What are you doing?" mom shouted. + +Tom and Lily froze. They knew they were in trouble. They dropped the apples and looked at mom with guilty faces. + +"We're sorry, mom. We were hungry. We wanted to try the apples," Tom said. + +"That's very naughty. You disobeyed me. You lied to me. You took something that was not yours. You made grandma sad. You are punished. Go to your room and stay there until dinner. No toys, no TV, no books. And no apples," mom said. + +Tom and Lily cried. They felt bad. They knew they did wrong. They wished they had listened to mom. They went to their room and sat on their beds. They learned their lesson. They never touched the basket again. +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily saw a big pond with many ducks. She wanted to feed them some bread. She asked her mom, "Can I give them some bread, please?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. It rained a lot yesterday and the pond is very full. It might flood." + +Lily nodded and took a piece of bread from her mom. She walked to the edge of the pond and threw the bread to the ducks. The ducks quacked and swam to get the bread. Lily smiled and clapped her hands. + +She saw a white duck with a long neck and a red beak. It was very graceful and beautiful. It looked different from the other ducks. Lily wondered what it was. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is that duck? It is so pretty." + +Her mom said, "That is not a duck, Lily. That is a swan. A swan is a kind of bird that lives near the water. It is very rare to see one here. Do you want to introduce yourself to the swan?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. How do I do that?" + +Her mom said, "You can say hello and tell the swan your name. Maybe the swan will tell you its name too. But remember, be gentle and respectful. Swans can be shy and proud." + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I will try." She took another piece of bread and walked slowly to the swan. She said, "Hello, swan. My name is Lily. You are very graceful and beautiful. What is your name?" + +The swan looked at Lily and tilted its head. It made a soft sound and took the bread from Lily's hand. It seemed to like Lily. It said, "Hello, Lily. My name is Rose. You are very kind and brave. Thank you for the bread." + +Lily and Rose became friends. They talked and played for a while. Lily's mom watched them and smiled. She was happy that Lily and Rose introduced themselves and got along. She hoped that the pond would not flood and that they could visit the swan again. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the backyard. They have a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. But they also have a scary shed. The shed is old and dark. It has spiders and rats. Tim and Sam never go near the shed. + +One day, Tim has a bad idea. He says to Sam, "Let's play a game. I dare you to go inside the shed and find something." Sam is scared. He says, "No, thank you. The shed is scary. I don't want to go." Tim says, "Don't be a baby. It's just a game. I'll go with you. Come on, it'll be fun." + +Tim and Sam walk to the shed. They open the door. It is very dark inside. They can't see anything. They hear noises. They feel something move. They start to scream. They run out of the shed. They slam the door. They hug each other. They are very scared. + +They hear a voice. It is their mom. She says, "What's wrong, boys? Why are you screaming?" Tim and Sam tell her about the shed. They say, "We went inside and it was scary. There were spiders and rats and something else. We don't know what it was." Their mom says, "Oh, boys. You shouldn't go inside the shed. It's not safe. It's not a game. It's a trap." + +Tim and Sam are confused. They say, "A trap? What do you mean?" Their mom says, "Come with me. I'll show you." She takes them to the shed. She opens the door. She turns on a light. She says, "Look. This is what you saw. This is what you heard. This is what you felt." + +Tim and Sam look inside. They see a big cage. They see a big sign. They see a big surprise. The sign says, "Happy Halloween!" The surprise is their dad. He is wearing a mask and a costume. He is holding a toy spider and a toy rat. He says, "Boo!" + +Tim and Sam are shocked. They say, "Dad? Is that you?" Their dad says, "Yes, it's me. I'm sorry, boys. I didn't mean to scare you. I wanted to make a joke. I wanted to have some fun. Do you forgive me?" Tim and Sam say, "Yes, we forgive you. But don't do that again. It was not funny. It was scary." Their dad says, "OK, I won't do that again. I love you, boys. How about we go inside and have some candy?" Tim and Sam say, "OK, let's go. We love you, too. But next time, we'll play a trick on you." +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to sing. They sang in the morning, they sang in the afternoon, they sang at night. They sang happy songs, sad songs, funny songs. They sang loud and soft, fast and slow, high and low. + +One day, they found a boat by the lake. It had two oars and a seat. They wanted to try it. They got in the boat and took the oars. They pushed the boat into the water. They started to row. They rowed left and right, forward and backward, near and far. + +They also sang while they rowed. They sang songs about the water, the fish, the birds, the sky. They sang with joy and wonder. They sang to each other and to the lake. + +But they did not see the big rock in the water. They rowed towards it. They were going to hit it. They did not know what to do. + +Then they heard a voice. It was an old man on the shore. He was watching them. He was wise and kind. He shouted to them: "Stop! Stop! There is a rock! Turn the boat! Turn the boat!" + +Lily and Tom heard him. They stopped singing. They looked at the rock. They were scared. They turned the boat. They rowed away from the rock. They were safe. + +They thanked the old man. He smiled and waved. He said: "You are welcome. You have good voices. But you have to watch where you go. The lake can be tricky. Be careful and have fun." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They learned a lesson. They rowed back to the shore. They got out of the boat. They hugged each other. They sang a song of thanks to the old man. He sang along with them. They were happy. They were friends. They liked to sing. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a collar and a leash. The dog looks friendly. It wags its tail and barks. + +"Hello, dog!" Lily says. She wants to pet the dog. She walks towards the dog. + +"Wait, Lily!" Tom says. He is afraid of dogs. He does not want to pet the dog. He stays behind. + +Lily reaches the dog. She holds out her hand. The dog sniffs her hand. Then the dog licks her hand. Lily giggles. She strokes the dog's head. + +"Good dog!" Lily says. She smiles. + +The dog's owner comes. He is a man. He wears a hat and a coat. He holds the leash. + +"Hello, little girl," the man says. He is polite. "Do you like my dog? His name is Max." + +"Yes, I like Max. He is nice. My name is Lily," Lily says. She is polite too. + +"That's good. Max likes you too. Do you want to play with him for a while?" the man asks. + +"Yes, please!" Lily says. She is happy. + +The man looks at Tom. Tom is still behind. He does not move. + +"What about you, little boy? Do you want to play with Max too?" the man asks. + +Tom shakes his head. He does not want to play with Max. He is scared. + +"No, thank you," Tom says. He is polite, but he refuses. He does not like dogs. + +The man nods. He understands. + +"That's okay. Maybe another time. You can play with your ball and your kite. They are fun too," the man says. + +He lets Lily play with Max for a while. Then he says goodbye. He takes Max away. + +Lily runs back to Tom. She hugs him. + +"Tom, Max is so nice. He is soft and warm. He likes to play. You should try to pet him. He will not hurt you," Lily says. + +Tom shakes his head again. He still does not want to pet Max. He is stubborn. + +"No, Lily. I do not like dogs. They are big and loud. They make me nervous. I like to play with you. You are my friend," Tom says. + +Lily sighs. She loves Tom. He is her friend too. But she wishes he would like dogs. + +"Okay, Tom. Maybe someday you will like dogs. But I will always play with you. Come on, let's play with our ball and our kite. They are fun too," Lily says. + +She takes Tom's hand. They run to the grass. They play with their ball and their kite. They have fun. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars. They pretended they were going to a big event with music and cake. They were very happy. + +But then they saw a big dog running towards them. It was barking loud and showing its teeth. Anna and Ben were fearful. They did not like the dog. They did not know if it was friendly or mean. They grabbed their toys and ran to the slide. + +They climbed up the slide and sat on the top. They hoped the dog would go away. But the dog followed them and jumped on the slide. It tried to reach them with its paws and mouth. Anna and Ben screamed for help. + +They saw their mom and dad coming from the bench. They were also fearful. They shouted at the dog to go away. They ran to the slide and picked up Anna and Ben. They hugged them and checked if they were hurt. They were not hurt, but they were scared. + +The dog's owner came and saw what happened. He was sorry. He said his dog was not mean, but playful. He said he forgot to shut the gate and the dog ran away. He said he would be more careful next time. He put a leash on the dog and took it away. + +Anna and Ben were glad the dog was gone. They said thank you to their mom and dad. They said they did not want to play in the park anymore. They wanted to go home and have some juice and cookies.

They said they were not fearful anymore. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a fancy car parked on their street. It was shiny and red, and had a big sticker on the door that said "police". Ben and Lily were curious and wanted to see the car up close. + +They ran to the car and looked inside. They saw a radio, a flashlight, and a badge. Ben wanted to touch them, but Lily said, "No, Ben, we can't. They belong to the police. We have to be good and leave them alone." + +But Ben did not listen. He opened the door and climbed into the car. He grabbed the radio and said, "Hello, hello, this is Ben. I am a police. Do you copy?" He did not know that the radio was on and that the real police could hear him. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud siren and saw a blue light. It was another police car, coming to the fancy car. Ben and Lily were scared and jumped out of the car. They ran to their house and hid under the bed. + +The police knocked on the door and talked to their mom. They told her what Ben had done and asked her to return the radio. Their mom was angry and sad. She took the radio and gave it back to the police. She said, "I'm sorry, officer. Ben is a naughty boy. He did not mean to cause trouble. He was just curious." + +The police said, "It's okay, ma'am. We understand. But Ben has to learn to respect other people's things. He could have broken the radio or caused an accident. He is lucky that nothing bad happened. Next time, he should ask before he touches something that is not his." + +Their mom nodded and thanked the police. She went to Ben and Lily's room and found them under the bed. She said, "Ben, Lily, come out. You have to apologize to the police and to me. You did a very bad thing today. You can't play with the police car or the radio. They are not toys. They are important tools for the police to help people and catch bad guys. You have to be careful and polite when you see them. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily came out and said, "Yes, mom. We're sorry. We won't do it again. We love you and the police." They hugged their mom and went to the door. They saw the police waving at them and smiled. They said, "Sorry, police. Thank you, police. Bye, police." The police waved back and said, "Bye, Ben. Bye, Lily. Be good and have fun." They drove away in their fancy car. + +Ben and Lily learned their lesson. They never played with the police car or the radio again. They always asked before they touched something that was not theirs. They were good and respectful to the police and to everyone. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and blocks. One day, they found a big pink ball in the park. They both wanted to play with it. + +"Let me have it!" Lily said. + +"No, it's mine!" Sam said. + +They pulled and pushed and shouted. The ball flew out of their hands and rolled away. They ran after it, but it was too quick. A big dog saw the ball and chased it too. The dog caught the ball and bit it. The ball popped and made a loud noise. + +Lily and Sam stopped and looked at the dog. They were sad and scared. The dog ran away with the broken ball. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Sam said. "I should have shared the ball with you." + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Lily said.

They had to climb over rocks and logs and thorns. They got tired and hungry and thirsty. They wanted to go back, but they did not know how. They had not brought any food or water or map. They had not told anyone where they were going. + +They got lost. They did not see any other people or animals or houses. They only saw more trees and more trail. They got scared and cold and sad. They cried and hugged each other. They hoped someone would find them and bring them home. But no one did. The sun went down and the night came. It was dark and quiet and cold. They were alone.

It will heal soon. You are very brave, Anna," she said. + +Anna smiled and hugged her mom. She felt better. + +"Can I play with my bike again?" she asked. + +Mom shook her head. "Not today, Anna. You need to rest your knee. You can play with your bike tomorrow. But be careful and slow, okay?" + +Anna nodded. She understood. She went to her room and played with her dolls. She hoped her knee would heal fast. She liked her bike. But she loved her mom more. +Ben and Mia liked to play with the big machine in the garage. It had many buttons and lights and made funny noises. They did not know what the machine did, but they thought it was fun. Their dad told them to be careful and not touch the machine, but they did not listen. + +One day, when their dad was not home, they went to the garage and turned on the machine.

They did not know what it meant, but they thought it was amazing. + +"Look, Ben, the machine is giving us a surprise!" Mia said. + +"Maybe it is a present," Ben said. + +They pushed the last button and saw a big flash. They did not know what it meant, but they thought it was beautiful. + +The machine was a bomb. It exploded and destroyed the garage and the house. Ben and Mia did not play with the machine anymore. They did not play with anything anymore. They were gone.

He wished he had been more careful. +Sara loves to be a dancer. She likes to wear her pink dress and spin and jump and clap. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the living room.

She dances all the time and I cannot read my book!" + +Sara says, "Tom is too quiet! He reads all the time and he does not play with me!" + +Mom says, "You both need to be nice to each other. You have different things that you like, and that is okay. But you have to respect each other and share the space. Tom, you can read your book in your room if you want to be quiet. Sara, you can dance in the garden if you want to be loud. Or you can find something that you can do together, like playing a game or drawing a picture. But you have to say please and thank you and be kind. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sara nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We are sorry. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too.

She picks up Sara and hugs her. She looks at Tom. + +"Tom, you know you have to ask nicely and wait for your turn. You can't push your sister. That is not nice. You have to say sorry to Sara," Mom says. + +Tom feels bad. He knows he was wrong. He looks at Sara. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I was mean. Can I play with you?" Tom says. + +Sara stops crying.

He liked how they buzzed and flew around the flowers and the grass. He wanted to catch one and keep it as a pet. He had a jar with holes in the lid that he used to catch bugs. + +One day, he saw an enormous fly on the fence. It was bigger than his hand and had shiny green wings. Ben was very excited. He ran to get his jar and sneaked up to the fly. He put the jar over the fly and screwed the lid on. He had caught the biggest fly ever! + +He ran to show his mom. "Look, mom, look what I caught!" he shouted. He held up the jar with the fly inside. His mom looked at the jar and gasped. "Ben, that's not a fly, that's a bee!" she said. "And it looks very angry. You have to let it go before it stings you!" + +Ben was scared. He didn't want to get stung by the bee. He didn't know it was a bee. He thought it was a fly. He wanted to fix his mistake. He ran back to the garden and opened the jar. The bee flew out and buzzed around his head. Ben ducked and covered his ears. He hoped the bee would not sting him. + +The bee did not sting him. It flew away to find some flowers. Ben was relieved. He learned his lesson. He decided not to catch any more flies or bees. He would just watch them from a distance. He was happy to see the bee fly away. He said, "Bye, bee, sorry for catching you. Have a nice day!" +Lila and Tom were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make roads and bridges with sticks and stones. They also liked to scatter leaves and flowers on their roads to make them pretty. + +One day, they found a big knot of string on the ground. It was red and blue and yellow and green. It looked like a rainbow. Lila and Tom wanted to play with it. They pulled and tugged and twisted the string, but it did not come apart. + +"Let me try," said Lila. She pulled harder and harder, but the knot only got tighter and tighter. + +"No, let me try," said Tom. He pulled harder and harder, but the knot only got smaller and smaller. + +They both pulled at the same time, but the string was too delicate. It snapped and broke into many pieces. The pieces flew in the air and landed on the ground. + +"Oh no," said Lila. "We broke the rainbow." + +"Oh no," said Tom. "We made a mess." + +They looked at the broken string and felt sad. They did not mean to break it. They wanted to play with it. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was a lady with a big smile. She was holding a basket of yarn. + +"Hello, children," she said. "Did you find my knot of string? I was making a scarf for my friend, but I dropped it on the way here. I'm glad you found it." + +Lila and Tom looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They felt sorry for the lady. + +"We're sorry, lady," they said. "We wanted to play with your string, but we broke it. We did not know it was yours." + +The lady smiled again. She was not angry. She was kind. + +"That's okay, children," she said. "It was an accident. You can keep the pieces of string. Maybe you can make something else with them. You can make bracelets or necklaces or belts. You can make anything you want." + +Lila and Tom felt happy. They thanked the lady and took the pieces of string. They decided to make something for the lady, too. They wanted to make her a new scarf. They used the sticks and stones and leaves and flowers to make a loom. They wove the pieces of string together. They made a beautiful scarf.

The storm will not hurt you. It will go away soon. I will remind you of something. Something that will make you feel better." + +The animals listened to Max. They wanted to know what he would remind them of. Max said, "I will remind you of the sun. The sun is bright and warm. It makes the grass grow and the flowers bloom. It makes us happy and healthy. The sun is always there, even when we cannot see it. The storm is hiding the sun, but it will not last. The sun will come back and shine on us again." + +The animals felt better when they heard Max. They thanked him for his wise words. They cuddled together and waited for the storm to pass. They knew the sun would come back and they would be happy again. Max smiled and closed his eyes. He was happy to help his friends. He was a wise and kind horse. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in their big building. They lived on the top floor with their mom and dad. Sometimes they took the elevator to go down and see their friends. The elevator was a big box with buttons that moved up and down. + +One day, Sara and Ben were bored and decided to play a naughty game. They went to the elevator and pushed all the buttons. Then they ran out and hid behind a corner. They laughed when they saw people come and wait for the elevator. They thought it was funny to make the elevator stop at every floor. + +But soon, they heard a loud voice. It was Mr. Lee, the manager of the building. He was angry and came to find them. He said, "Who did this? Who pushed all the buttons on the elevator? This is very rude and wasteful. You are making everyone late and unhappy. You should be ashamed of yourselves." + +Sara and Ben felt scared and sorry. They came out of their hiding place and said, "We did it, Mr. Lee. We are sorry. We were just playing a game. We didn't mean to hurt anyone." + +Mr. Lee looked at them and said, "Well, I'm glad you are honest, but you still need to learn a lesson. You need to improve your behavior and respect others.

We understand. We will do what you say. We will improve and be good." + +Mr. Lee smiled and said, "That's good. Come on, let's go and start. And remember, the elevator is not a toy. It is a tool to help people. Use it wisely and kindly." + +Sara and Ben followed Mr. Lee and did what he told them. They said sorry to everyone and helped him clean. They felt bad for what they did, but they also felt happy that they learned something. They promised to never play the naughty game again. They realized that being good was better than being funny. +Sam liked to play guitar. He had a small guitar that his dad gave him. He wanted to be like his dad, who played guitar in a band.

But you have to ask before you use things that are not yours. And you have to be careful with wires and electricity. They can be dangerous. Your dad's guitar is not available for you. But your small guitar is. You can play it as much as you want, as long as you are not too loud." + +Sam nodded. He learned his lesson. He played his small guitar. He was happy.

If you answer right, you can cross. If you answer wrong, I will eat your toe. Are you ready?" the troll says. + +"Yes, we are ready, Mr. Troll, what is your question?" Ben says. + +"Here is my question: what is slow and green and has a shell?" the troll says. + +Anna and Ben think hard. They try to remember what is slow and green and has a shell.

Lily was happy because the mosquito couldn't bother her anymore. + +Later that day, Lily and her mom played a game of matching cards. They had to find two cards that looked the same. Lily was very good at matching the cards and won the game. She was so happy and proud of herself! +Once upon a time, a big, wide hurricane came to a town. The people were scared and ran away to hide. But one little boy named Timmy didn't know what to do. He asked his mom, "What do we do now?" His mom just shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know, Timmy. We have to wait and see." + +The hurricane made a lot of noise and blew things around. Timmy saw trees falling down and houses breaking apart. But he stayed close to his mom and held her hand tight. After a while, the hurricane went away and the sun came out again. Timmy was happy to see that everything was okay. He said, "That was scary, but we're safe now." His mom smiled and hugged him, "Yes, Timmy. We're safe now." +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy loved motorcycles. He saw an adorable one at the store and wanted to buy it. But his mom said it didn't fit in their budget. + +Timmy was sad but he didn't give up. He saved his allowance and did extra chores to earn money. Finally, he had enough to buy the adorable motorcycle. + +He rode it around the park and everyone thought it was so cool. Timmy was happy because he worked hard for something he really wanted. And the adorable motorcycle fit him perfectly. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little bird. The bird had a nest in a tree. One day, the bird wanted to go to a meeting with other birds. The bird flew off and found the meeting in a big field. + +At the meeting, the birds talked about how to make their nests thicker. The little bird listened and learned. But then, it was time to go home. The little bird flew back to the tree, but it was too dark to see. + +The little bird tried to hang onto a branch, but it was too thick. The little bird fell and hurt itself. The other birds never saw the little bird again. The end. +Once upon a time, there was an old barn. It was very ancient and had been around for many years. One day, a little boy named Timmy was playing near the barn when he heard a loud noise. He looked over and saw that the barn had a big hole in it. + +Timmy went to tell his dad about the hole. "Dad, the barn has a big hole in it!" he said. "We need to fix it." + +His dad said, "I know, Timmy. But we don't have the money to fix it right now." + +Timmy was sad because he loved the barn. He wanted to help it heal. Then he had an idea. He went to his piggy bank and got out all his money. "Dad, I want to use my money to help fix the barn," he said. + +His dad was so proud of him. They used Timmy's money to buy some wood and nails. They fixed the hole and the barn was healed. Timmy was happy because he saved the barn. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to collect shiny rocks and pretty flowers. One day, Lily went to the zoo with her mommy and daddy. They saw a big, gray rhinoceros. + +Lily thought the rhinoceros was important because it was so big and strong. She wanted to collect a picture of the rhinoceros to show her friends. But when she tried to take a picture, the rhinoceros got angry and started to charge at her! + +Lily was scared and started to cry. Her mommy and daddy quickly picked her up and ran away from the rhinoceros. They comforted her and told her that it's important to be safe around big animals like rhinoceroses. From then on, Lily knew that collecting pictures of animals wasn't as important as staying safe. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her dolls and teddy bear. One day, Lily went to a party and saw lots of different toys. She was so happy and played with them all. + +But then, Lily saw her favorite toy in someone else's hands. She cried and cried until her mommy came to her. Her mommy gave her a big hug and wiped away her tears. + +At the party, the grown-ups were drinking wine and having fun. But Lily didn't like the smell of it, so she stayed away. She just wanted to play with her toys and be happy. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a toy swan that she loved to play with. One day, her friend Tommy came over to play. Tommy saw the swan and said, "That's a fake swan, it's not real." Lily felt sad and didn't know what to do. + +Later that night, Lily's mom tucked her into bed and said, "Don't worry about what Tommy said. Your swan may be fake, but it makes you happy and that's all that matters." Lily smiled and fell asleep, dreaming of playing with her swan. + +The next day, Lily went to the park and saw a real swan swimming in the pond. She ran over to it and said, "Hello, Mr. Swan! Do you want to play with me?" The swan just looked at her and went back to sleep. Lily realized that her toy swan was better because it always wanted to play with her. + +The moral of the story is that it doesn't matter if something is fake or real, as long as it makes you happy. And sometimes, the things that are fake can be just as good as the real thing. +Once upon a time, there was a small hut in the woods. The hut was so small that only one person could sit in it. One day, a little girl found the hut and decided to seat inside. She liked the hut very much because it was cozy and warm. She imagined that she was a princess living in a castle. + +The little girl went to the hut every day and sat inside, pretending to be a princess. She loved the hut so much that she decided to decorate it with flowers and ribbons. The hut looked so pretty that the animals in the woods came to see it too. They liked the hut and the little girl very much. + +From that day on, the little girl and the animals would come to the hut and seat together. They would sing and dance and have fun. The hut became a magical place where everyone was happy. And the little girl was the happiest of them all because she had found a special place where she belonged. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to collect pretty cones she found on the ground. One day, she found a cone that was so shiny and perfect, she couldn't resist picking it up. + +But as she was walking home, she saw her friend Timmy crying. "What's wrong?" she asked him. + +"I lost my favorite toy," Timmy said. "I can't find it anywhere." + +Lily thought for a moment and then remembered the shiny cone in her hand. "Maybe this will cheer you up," she said, handing the cone to Timmy. + +Timmy's face lit up with a huge smile. "Wow, thank you so much!" he said. + +Later that day, Lily's mom noticed that Lily didn't have any cones in her collection. "What happened to all your cones?" she asked. + +Lily smiled and said, "I gave my favorite one to Timmy. It made him happy, even though it meant I didn't get to keep it. And that's okay because I know I can always find more cones." + +The moral of the story is that sometimes it's better to give to others than to keep things for ourselves, even if it means we have to let go of something we really like. +Once upon a time, there was a happy dog named Max. Max loved to run and play with his favorite ball. One day, Max was playing in the park when he saw a squirrel. Max got very enthusiastic and started chasing the squirrel. + +Max ran and ran until he didn't realize that he was getting too close to the road. Suddenly, a car came speeding towards him. Max tried to stop, but he couldn't. The car hit him and Max hurt his neck. Max's owner took him to the vet, but the vet said that Max needed surgery. + +After the surgery, Max had to wear a special collar around his neck to help him heal. Max didn't like the collar because he couldn't play with his ball or run like he used to. But one day, Max's owner took off the collar and Max was so happy that he started running backwards! Max had reversed his injury and was back to his old self again. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play sport. They liked to run, jump, kick and throw. They had a lot of fun together. One day, they saw a poster for a sport day at the park. It said there would be games, prizes and snacks. They were very excite. + +"Let's go to the sport day, Ben!" Lily said. "It will be so much fun!" + +"OK, Lily, but we have to ask our moms first," Ben said. "And we have to be nice and share with the other kids." + +They asked their moms and they said yes. They put on their pretty sport clothes and went to the park. There were many kids there, and many games to play. Lily and Ben tried them all. They ran, jumped, kicked and threw. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they saw a big prize. It was a shiny bike with a bell and a basket. It was the most pretty bike they ever saw. They both wanted it very much. + +"How do we get the bike, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"It says we have to win the relay race, Lily," Ben said. "We have to run with a baton and pass it to our partner." + +"Let's be partners, Ben!" Lily said. "We can win the bike together!" + +"OK, Lily, but we have to be fast and careful," Ben said. "And we have to be fair and honest." + +They signed up for the relay race. They waited for their turn. They were very excite. They saw the bike and wanted it very much. + +But then, something bad happened. When Lily was running with the baton, she tripped and fell. She hurt her knee and dropped the baton. She cried and cried. + +Ben saw what happened. He felt sorry for Lily. He wanted to help her. But he also wanted the bike. He had a choice. He could pick up the baton and keep running, or he could stop and help Lily. + +What do you think Ben did? + +Possible ending: + +Ben thought for a moment. He looked at the bike and he looked at Lily. He remembered what he said to Lily. He had to be nice and share with the other kids. He had to be fair and honest. He had to be a good friend. + +He decided to help Lily. He ran to her and hugged her. He said, "It's OK, Lily. Don't cry. You did your best. I'm proud of you. You're my friend." + +Lily smiled and hugged him back. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You're very kind. You're my friend too." + +They walked together to the nurse. She gave them a band-aid and a lollipop. They felt better. + +They didn't win the bike, but they didn't mind. They had something more important. They had each other. + +The moral of the story is: Friendship is more valuable than prizes. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. They were popular with the other kids in their class. One day, they decided to play hide and seek in the park. + +"You count to ten and I will hide," Lily said to Ben. "Then you search for me." + +"Okay," Ben said. He closed his eyes and started to count. "One, two, three..." + +Lily ran to find a good hiding spot. She saw a big tree with a hole in it. She thought it would be a perfect place to hide. She crawled inside the hole and waited for Ben to find her. + +Ben finished counting and opened his eyes. He looked around the park and tried to guess where Lily was hiding. He searched behind the swings, under the slide, and in the sandbox. He could not find Lily anywhere. He started to feel worried. + +"Lily, where are you?" he called out. "I give up. Come out, please." + +He heard a faint voice from the tree. "Ben, help me. I'm stuck." + +Ben ran to the tree and saw Lily's face in the hole. She looked scared and sad. He tried to pull her out, but she was too deep inside. He could not reach her. + +"Lily, don't worry. I will get help," he said. He ran to find a grown-up. He saw a man with a big hat and a badge. He thought he was a police officer. He ran to him and told him about Lily. + +"Please, sir, help me. My friend is stuck in the tree. She can't get out. She is scared," he said. + +The man looked at Ben and smiled. He was not a police officer. He was a bad man. He wanted to take Ben away. He grabbed Ben's arm and tried to drag him to his car. + +"Let go of me. You are not a police officer. You are a bad man. Help, help," Ben shouted. He tried to shake off the man's grip, but he was too strong. + +The man put his hand over Ben's mouth and threw him in the car. He locked the door and drove away. Ben cried and screamed, but no one heard him. He wished he could see Lily again. He wished he never played hide and seek. + +Lily waited in the tree for a long time. She hoped Ben would come back with help. She hoped he was okay. She was hungry and thirsty and cold. She cried and called for Ben, but no one came. She wished she never hid in the tree. She wished she never played hide and seek. +Lily liked to wear her pink dress. It was her favorite dress. She wore it every day. She did not like to wash it. She said it was too hard. + +One day, Mommy said, "Lily, you have to wash your dress. It is very dirty. Look at the stains. You need soap and water to make it clean." + +Lily did not want to wash her dress. She was naughty. She ran away from Mommy. She hid under the bed. She said, "No, no, no. I do not want to wash my dress. I like it dirty." + +Mommy looked for Lily. She found her under the bed. She said, "Lily, come out. You have to wash your dress. If you do not wash it, you cannot wear it. You have to wear something else." + +Lily did not like that. She loved her dress. She did not want to wear something else. She came out from under the bed. She said, "Sorry, Mommy. I will wash my dress. Please help me." + +Mommy smiled. She said, "That's a good girl. Come on, let's go to the bathroom. I will show you how to use soap and water to make your dress clean and pretty." + +Lily and Mommy went to the bathroom. They washed the dress together. Lily learned how to use soap and water. She saw the stains go away. She was happy. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. I like my dress clean and pretty. I will wash it more often." + +Mommy hugged Lily. She said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm proud of you. You are not naughty anymore. You are a good girl. Now you can wear your dress again." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, the sky is dark and the wind is strong. Lily and Tom want to fly their kite. They hold the string and let the kite go up. The kite flies high and fast. They are happy. + +But then, the wind is too strong. The string breaks. The kite flies away. Lily and Tom are sad. They lose their kite. + +They look for their kite. They run and call and search. But they cannot find it. The sky is darker and darker. It starts to rain. Lily and Tom are wet and cold. + +They see a house. They knock on the door. A lady opens the door. She sees Lily and Tom. They are wet and sad. She is compassionate. She says, "Come in, come in. You are wet and cold. I have a fire and a blanket and a hot drink. And I have something for you." + +She takes them inside. She gives them a fire and a blanket and a hot drink. She makes them warm and cozy. She smiles and says, "Look, I have something for you. I found your kite. It landed in my garden. Here it is. It is not broken. You can have it back." + +Lily and Tom are happy. They hug the lady. They say, "Thank you, thank you. You are very kind. You are our friend." + +The lady hugs them back. She says, "You are welcome, welcome. I am glad to help. You are very brave. You are my friends." + +Lily and Tom are happy. They have their kite. They have a new friend. They are compassionate. They say, "We love you." +Tom and Anna liked to play chess with their dad. Chess was a game with black and white pieces that moved on a board. Dad taught them how to move the pieces and how to say "checkmate" when they won. + +One day, Tom and Anna were playing chess with dad in the living room. They were having fun and trying to catch dad's king. But then, dad had to go to the kitchen to make some tea. He told them to wait for him and not to touch the pieces. + +Tom and Anna waited for a while, but they got bored. They looked around the living room and saw many things. They saw books, toys, pictures, and a big window. They decided to wander around and explore. + +Tom went to the window and looked outside. He saw birds, cars, trees, and people. He liked to watch them and make noises. He said "tweet, tweet" like a bird and "vroom, vroom" like a car. + +Anna went to the bookshelf and picked up a book. She opened it and saw words and pictures. She liked to look at the pictures and make up stories. She said "once upon a time, there was a princess and a dragon" and turned the pages. + +Dad came back from the kitchen with a tray of tea and cookies. He saw Tom and Anna wandering around the living room and not playing chess. He was not angry, but he was surprised. He said "what are you doing, kids? I thought you were playing chess with me." + +Tom and Anna ran to dad and hugged him. They said "sorry, dad, we got bored. We wanted to see other things. We like chess, but we also like birds and cars and books and stories." + +Dad smiled and said "it's okay, kids, I understand. You are curious and you like to learn new things. Chess is a good game, but there are many other things to enjoy in the world. I'm glad you are happy and creative." + +He put the tray on the table and invited Tom and Anna to join him. He said "how about we have some tea and cookies and then we play chess again? Maybe you can teach me something new from what you saw and read." + +Tom and Anna nodded and said "yes, dad, that sounds good. We love you and we love chess. But we also love to wander and wonder." They sat down with dad and had a nice time. +Sara loved her kitten, Luna. Luna was soft and gray and liked to play with Sara. Sara liked to hug Luna and give her milk and toys. + +One day, Sara and Luna were playing in the garden. Sara saw a big red ball and wanted to kick it. She ran to the ball and kicked it hard. But she did not see Luna behind the ball. The ball hit Luna and made her cry. + +Sara heard Luna's cry and turned around. She saw Luna lying on the grass, hurt and scared. Sara felt very bad. She ran to Luna and picked her up. She said, "I'm sorry, Luna. I did not mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" + +Luna looked at Sara with sad eyes. She meowed softly and licked Sara's face. She was not very hurt, but she was still scared. She wanted Sara to hold her and make her feel safe. + +Sara hugged Luna and said, "I love you, Luna. You are my best friend. I will be more careful next time. Please don't be mad at me." She carried Luna to the house and gave her some more milk and a cozy bed. She stayed with Luna until she fell asleep. Sara was ashamed of what she did. She learned to watch out for Luna when she played with the ball. She wanted Luna to be happy and healthy. +Ben and Mia liked to design things. They used paper, crayons, scissors and glue to make pictures, cards and toys. They had a big box of materials in their room. One day, they decided to design a kite. They cut a big diamond from a blue paper and drew stars on it. They glued a long string and a tail made of ribbons. They were very proud of their kite. + +"Let's go to the field and fly our kite!" Mia said. + +"Yes, let's go!" Ben agreed. + +They put on their coats and shoes and ran outside. They carried their kite carefully. The field was near their house. It was green and wide and had a big tree in the middle. The wind was blowing softly. It was a good day for flying a kite. + +They reached the field and looked for a spot to launch their kite. They saw a group of kids playing soccer on one side of the field. They waved at them and said hello. They moved to the other side of the field, away from the soccer game. They found a clear space and laid their kite on the ground. + +"Are you ready?" Ben asked. + +"I'm ready!" Mia said. + +They lifted their kite and ran with it. The kite caught the wind and rose in the air. It looked beautiful with its blue color and stars. They smiled and cheered. + +"Wow, look at our kite!" Ben said. + +"It's amazing!" Mia said. + +They held the string and watched their kite fly higher and higher. They felt happy and excited. They did not notice the big tree in the middle of the field. They did not see the kite getting closer and closer to the tree. They did not hear the soccer kids shouting at them. + +"Watch out!" one of them yelled. + +"Your kite is going to hit the tree!" another one warned. + +But it was too late. The kite crashed into the tree and got stuck in the branches. The string snapped and fell to the ground. Ben and Mia stopped running and looked up. They saw their kite hanging from the tree, torn and tangled. They felt sad and angry. + +"NO!" Ben cried. + +"OUR KITE!" Mia screamed. + +They ran to the tree and tried to get their kite back. But the tree was too tall and the kite was too high. They could not reach it. They pulled and tugged on the string, but it did not help. They shouted and cried, but no one came to help them. They lost their kite. They lost their design. They lost their fun. It was a bad day. +Sara and Ben are twins. They share a room, but they do not like the same things. Sara likes to be cool, so she always turns on the fan. Ben likes to be warm, so he always turns off the fan. + +One day, it is very hot outside. Sara and Ben are in their room, playing with their toys. Sara feels sweaty, so she turns on the fan. Ben feels cold, so he turns off the fan. + +"Stop it, Ben!" Sara says. "I want the fan on!" + +"No, Sara!" Ben says. "I want the fan off!" + +They start to fight over the fan. They pull and push and yell. The fan falls to the floor and breaks. Sara and Ben stop fighting and look at the fan. They feel sad and sorry. + +"Mom!" they cry. "We broke the fan!" + +Mom comes to their room. She sees the fan and the twins. She is not happy. + +"What happened here?" she asks. + +"We were fighting over the fan," Sara and Ben say. + +"Why were you fighting?" Mom asks. + +"Sara wanted the fan on, and I wanted the fan off," Ben says. + +"Ben wanted the fan off, and I wanted the fan on," Sara says. + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "You should not fight over the fan. You should share and take turns. The fan is for both of you. It can make you cool or warm, depending on how you use it. You can adjust the speed and the direction of the fan. You can also open or close the window. There are many ways to make the room mild, not too hot or too cold." + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will not fight over the fan again. We will share and take turns. We will try to make the room mild." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, let's go and get a new fan. And maybe some ice cream, too." + +Sara and Ben hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +They go to the store and buy a new fan. They also buy some ice cream. They go back to their room and set up the fan. They eat their ice cream and play with their toys. They are happy and cool. They do not fight over the fan anymore. They share and take turns. They make the room mild. The end. +Anna loves to play with her toy horse. She pretends that her horse can fly in the sky. She makes a sound like a bird and moves her horse up and down. She says, "Come on, horse, let's fly to the clouds!" + +One day, Anna sees a real horse in the field. She runs to the fence and says hello. The horse is big and brown. He has a long mane and a tail. He looks at Anna and neighs. Anna smiles and says, "You are a beautiful horse. Can you fly like my toy horse?" + +The horse shakes his head and says, "No, I cannot fly. I can run and jump and eat grass. But flying is not for horses. Flying is for birds and planes and your toy horse." + +Anna feels sad. She says, "But flying is fun. You can see the whole world. You can feel the wind and the sun. You can be free and happy. Don't you want to fly?" + +The horse says, "I am happy here. I have a peaceful home. I have friends and food and water. I do not need to fly. I am happy to be a horse. And you are happy to be a girl. You can play with your toy horse and imagine flying. But you can also come and visit me and pet me and talk to me. We can be friends." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She says, "You are right. Flying is fun, but so is being here with you. You are a nice horse. I want to be your friend. Can I give you a hug?" + +The horse nods and says, "Yes, you can. I like hugs. Come closer and be careful. I will not hurt you." + +Anna climbs over the fence and runs to the horse. She wraps her arms around his neck and gives him a big hug. The horse nuzzles her hair and makes a soft sound. Anna feels warm and happy. She says, "Thank you, horse, for being my friend. You are the best horse in the world." + +The horse says, "You are welcome, Anna, for being my friend. You are the best girl in the world." +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail. Ben and Mia wanted to pet the dog. + +"Hello, doggy!" Ben said. "Can we be your friends?" + +The dog barked and licked Ben's face. Ben giggled and rubbed the dog's ears. Mia smiled and touched the dog's nose. The dog sniffed Mia's hand and nuzzled her cheek. Mia laughed and hugged the dog. + +"Can we take him home?" Mia asked Ben. + +Ben shook his head. "No, we can't. He belongs to someone else. Maybe he has a name tag." + +Ben looked at the dog's collar. He saw a small metal plate with some letters on it. He tried to read them, but they were too hard. He only recognized one word: True. + +"His name is True!" Ben said. "That's a good name for a dog. He is a true friend." + +Mia nodded. "Yes, he is. But where is his owner? Maybe he is lost." + +Ben and Mia looked around. They saw a man walking towards them. He had brown hair and a blue shirt. He looked like the dog. He smiled and waved. + +"Hi, kids!" he said. "I see you found my dog. His name is True, and he loves to play. But he ran away from me when he saw a squirrel. I've been looking for him everywhere. Thank you for taking care of him." + +Ben and Mia smiled back. They were happy to see the man. They knew he was True's owner. They could tell by the way he looked and talked. They could also tell by the way True ran to him and licked his face. True was happy to see his owner too. + +"You're welcome, mister," Ben said. "We like True. He is a nice dog." + +"He is, indeed," the man said. "But he also needs to learn to stay with me. Come on, True, let's go home. It's getting late and dry. You need some water and food." + +The man put a leash on True and said goodbye to Ben and Mia. He thanked them again and walked away with True. True barked and wagged his tail. He looked at Ben and Mia and seemed to say thank you too. + +Ben and Mia waved and said goodbye to True. They were sad to see him go, but they were glad he had a home. They hoped to see him again someday. They went back to their swing and slide. They had a new friend. His name was True. +Lily and Sam were going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They were very excited to see their grandma and grandpa. They had their bags and toys and snacks. + +"Who will get to the plane first?" Sam asked Lily. He liked to be competitive. He wanted to win everything. + +"Me!" Lily said. She nodded. She was competitive too. She wanted to beat Sam. + +They ran to the gate. They did not look where they were going. They bumped into a big man. He was angry. He shouted at them. + +"Watch where you're going, you little brats!" He pushed them away. He knocked over their bags and toys and snacks. + +Lily and Sam started to cry. Mom and Dad came to help them. They said sorry to the big man. They picked up their things. They hugged Lily and Sam. + +But it was too late. The plane had left. They missed their flight. They could not see their grandma and grandpa. They had to go back home. They were very sad. They wished they had not been so competitive. +Lila and Tom were twins who liked to wander in the forest behind their house. They saw many trees, flowers, birds and bugs. Sometimes they found old things, like a rusty can or a broken pot. They wondered who left them there. + +One day, they saw a big wall covered with vines. They had never seen it before. They wanted to know what was behind it. They pulled some vines away and saw a hole. They crawled through the hole and entered a dark place. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. He pointed at a shiny thing on a table. It looked like a crown, but it was very dirty and bent. "Maybe it belonged to a king!" + +Lila saw a picture on the wall. It showed a man wearing the crown and a woman wearing a dress. They looked sad and angry. "Maybe they were the king and queen!" Lila said. "But why did they leave this place?" + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a big animal with sharp teeth and claws. It was a lion! It had been sleeping in a corner, but now it was awake and hungry. It saw the twins and growled. + +"Run!" Lila shouted. She grabbed Tom's hand and ran back to the hole. The lion followed them, but it was too big to fit through the hole. It scratched at the vines and roared. + +Lila and Tom ran out of the wall and into the forest. They were scared and out of breath. They did not stop until they reached their house. They told their mom what they had seen. She hugged them and said they were brave. + +"You found an ancient place," she said. "It was once a palace, but a long time ago, a war destroyed it. The king and queen had to flee, and they left everything behind. The lion must have escaped from a zoo and made its home there." + +Lila and Tom looked at each other. They had wandered into a secret history. They wondered what else was hidden in the forest. But they decided not to go back to the wall. They did not want to meet the lion again. +Lily and Max were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big basket full of toys near the slide. Lily ran to the basket and picked up a doll. She liked dolls very much. Max followed her and looked at the basket. He saw a car that he wanted to play with. He reached for the car, but Lily stopped him. + +"No, Max, this is my basket. You can't have any toys. Go away!" Lily said. She was very mean. + +Max felt sad and angry. He wanted to play with the car, but Lily would not share. He tried to talk to her, but she ignored him. She only cared about the doll. Max decided to leave her alone and find something else to do. + +He walked around the park and saw a swing. He liked swings very much. He ran to the swing and sat on it. He pushed himself with his feet and went higher and higher. He felt happy and free. He saw a bird flying in the sky. It was very graceful. He wished he could fly like the bird. + +Lily saw Max on the swing. She felt bored with the doll. She wanted to play with the car, but she had left it in the basket. She got up and walked to the basket. But when she got there, she saw that the car was gone. Someone had taken it. She felt sad and angry. She wanted the car back. She looked around and saw a boy holding the car. He was playing with it near the sandbox. She ran to the boy and tried to grab the car. + +"Hey, that's my car! Give it to me!" Lily said. She was very rude. + +The boy looked at her and shook his head. He said, "No, this is my car. I found it in the basket. You can't have it. Go away!" + +Lily felt shocked and hurt. She tried to talk to him, but he ignored her. He only cared about the car. Lily realized that she had been very selfish and mean to Max. She wished she had shared the basket with him. She wondered if he would still be her friend. + +She walked back to the slide and saw Max on the swing. He looked happy and free. He saw her and smiled. He said, "Hi, Lily. Do you want to swing with me?" + +Lily felt happy and grateful. She said, "Yes, Max. I'm sorry I was mean to you. Can we share the basket?" + +Max nodded and said, "Of course, Lily. We can share everything. You are my friend." + +They hugged and ran to the swing. They swung together and laughed. They saw the bird flying in the sky. It was very graceful. They wished they could fly like the bird. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw a big object on the grass. It was round and red and had a string. It was a balloon! + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "Can we play with it?" + +Ben nodded. He ran to the balloon and grabbed the string. He pulled it and the balloon flew up in the air. He laughed and let it go. The balloon came down again. + +"Let me try!" Lily said. She took the string and did the same. She felt excited. The balloon was fun. + +They took turns to play with the balloon. They made it go high and low, left and right. They pretended it was a bird, a plane and a rocket. They had a cheerful time. + +Then they heard a voice. It was a boy. He was looking for his balloon. + +"Hey, that's mine!" he said. "You took it from me!" + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not know it was his. They thought it was for everyone. + +"We're sorry," Lily said. "We didn't mean to take it. We just wanted to play with it. It's a nice balloon." + +The boy looked at them. He saw they were not mean. He saw they liked his balloon. + +"It's okay," he said. "Do you want to play with me? We can share the balloon." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They liked the boy. They liked to share. + +"Sure!" they said. "What's your name?" + +"I'm Sam," he said. "What are yours?" + +"I'm Lily and this is Ben," Lily said. + +They introduced themselves and became friends. They played with the balloon together. They had more fun. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing with paper. They liked to fold the paper and make different things. Lily made a hat and put it on her head. Tom made a boat and put it on the floor. + +"Look, I am a sailor!" Tom said. "I can sail my boat on the water." + +"That is a nice boat," Lily said. "But where is the water?" + +Tom looked around. He saw a big bowl of water on the table. It was for the flowers. He had an idea. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go to the table. We can sail my boat there." + +Lily followed Tom to the table. She saw the bowl of water. She also saw a sign that said "Do not touch". + +"Tom, we can't touch the water. It says so on the sign." + +Tom did not care. He was not honest. He wanted to sail his boat. He picked up his boat and threw it into the bowl. + +"Splash!" The water spilled out of the bowl and onto the table. The flowers fell down. The sign got wet. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "You made a mess. You are naughty, Tom. You did not listen to the sign." + +Tom felt bad. He saw the mess he made. He saw Lily's angry face. He wished he was honest. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I was wrong. I should have listened to the sign. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily was still mad. But she was also kind. She knew Tom was sorry. She decided to forgive him. + +"Okay, Tom, I forgive you. But you have to help me clean up the mess. And you have to be honest from now on." + +Tom nodded. He was glad Lily forgave him. He helped her clean up the mess. He learned his lesson. He promised to be honest from now on. +Lily and Max wanted to cook something for their mom. They asked their dad to take them to the store. He said yes and they got in the car. + +At the store, they saw many things. They saw fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, and meat. They wanted to buy everything, but dad said they only needed a few things. He helped them pick some eggs, milk, flour, and butter. He also bought a rare treat for them: chocolate chips. + +They went back home and put on their aprons. They followed dad's instructions to make pancakes. They cracked the eggs, poured the milk, mixed the flour, and melted the butter. They added some chocolate chips to the batter. They poured some batter on a hot pan and waited for bubbles. Then they flipped the pancakes with a spatula. + +They made a big stack of pancakes and put them on a plate. They added some syrup and some berries. They carried the plate to the living room, where mom was reading a book. They said, "Surprise! We cooked something for you!" + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "Thank you, my sweeties! You are the best cooks ever! This is a rare and delicious breakfast!" She cut a piece of pancake and tasted it. She said, "Mmm, this is so good! And I love the chocolate chips!" + +Lily and Max were happy. They shared the pancakes with mom and dad. They ate and talked and laughed. They had a fun and cozy morning. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big rainbow in the sky. It is very beautiful. It has many colors. + +"Look, Anna, a rainbow!" Ben says. + +"Wow, Ben, it is so pretty!" Anna says. + +They run to the rainbow. They hope to find gold at the end of it. They have heard stories about gold and how it shines and makes people happy. + +They run and run, but the rainbow is very far. They get tired and thirsty. They stop near a fountain. They drink some water and rest. + +"Anna, do you think we will find gold?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe, maybe not. But we can still have fun and enjoy the rainbow." Anna says. + +They smile at each other. They are happy to be friends. They don't need gold to be happy. They have each other and the beautiful rainbow. +Sara loved dolphins. She had a big toy dolphin that was pink. She named it Dolly. She always played with Dolly and hugged her. She took Dolly to bed every night. + +One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought Dolly with her. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She left Dolly on a bench and ran to the slide. She had fun sliding down and up again. + +But when she came back to the bench, Dolly was gone. Sara looked around and saw a boy holding Dolly. He was walking away with his mom. + +"Hey, that's my dolphin!" Sara shouted. She ran after the boy and tried to grab Dolly. + +"No, it's mine!" the boy said. He held Dolly tight and pushed Sara away. + +Sara started to cry. She wanted her Dolly back. She looked at her mom and dad. They saw what happened and came to help her. + +"Excuse me, that's our daughter's toy," Sara's mom said to the boy's mom. "She left it on the bench for a moment. Can you please give it back to her?" + +The boy's mom looked at the pink dolphin and then at the boy. She saw that he was lying. + +"I'm sorry, I didn't know," she said. She took Dolly from the boy and gave it to Sara. "Here you go, sweetie. I'm sorry he took your toy. He should know better." + +Sara smiled and hugged Dolly. She thanked the boy's mom and said sorry to the boy. She hoped he would find another toy to play with. + +She went back to the bench with her mom and dad. She lay Dolly on her lap and stroked her. She was happy to have her Dolly back. She learned to never leave her toys alone. She loved dolphins. +Sara loved to spin. She liked to feel the wind on her face and the sun in her hair. She spun with her arms out and her eyes closed. She spun so fast that she felt dizzy and happy. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. They saw a big merry-go-round with many horses and cars. Sara wanted to ride on a horse. She ran to the merry-go-round and climbed on a white horse. She held the pole with one hand and waved to her mom and dad with the other. + +"Are you ready, Sara?" her dad asked. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Sara said. + +The merry-go-round started to move. It went round and round and round. Sara felt like she was spinning too. She laughed and shouted. She liked the merry-go-round. + +But then, the merry-go-round went faster and faster and faster. Sara felt scared. She wanted to stop. She tried to hold the pole tighter, but her hand slipped. She fell off the horse and landed on the ground. She hurt her knee and her elbow. She cried and cried. + +Her mom and dad ran to her. They picked her up and hugged her. They checked her knee and her elbow. They put a band-aid on them. + +"It's okay, Sara. You're brave. You're independent. You can do anything," her mom said. + +"But I don't want to spin anymore," Sara said. + +"You don't have to spin anymore. You can do something else. You can swing or slide or play with the sand. You can choose what you want to do," her dad said. + +Sara nodded. She wiped her tears. She smiled. She still loved to spin, but she learned to be careful. She learned to listen to her body and her feelings. She learned to be independent. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jar of white powder on the shelf. They wanted to know what it was. + +"Let's open it and see," Ben said. He climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. + +"No, Ben, don't!" Lily said. "Mommy said that is expensive powder. She uses it to make cakes and cookies. She will be angry if we touch it." + +But Ben did not listen. He opened the jar and spilled some of the powder on the floor. He sneezed and laughed. + +"Look, Lily, it is snowing!" he said. He threw some of the powder in the air. + +Lily did not laugh. She was scared. She did not understand why Ben was so silly. She knew Mommy would be very sad and mad when she saw the mess. + +"Ben, stop it! You are making a big problem!" she said. She tried to clean the powder with a towel, but it only made it worse. + +Just then, Mommy came into the kitchen. She saw the powder everywhere. She saw Ben and Lily. She was not happy. + +"Ben, Lily, what have you done?" she asked. "This is not a toy. This is expensive powder. You have wasted it and made a big mess. You have to say sorry and help me clean it up." + +Ben and Lily felt bad. They did not mean to make Mommy unhappy. They said sorry and helped Mommy clean the powder. They learned to not touch things that are not theirs. They learned to listen to Mommy. They learned to understand. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the swamp near their house. They liked to see the frogs, the fish and the birds. They also liked to make mud pies and splash in the water. But one day, they saw something strange in the swamp. It was a big, pale boat with a hole in it. + +"Whoa, look at that!" Ben said. "It's a boat!" + +"Can we go inside?" Mia asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's not safe," Ben said. + +But Mia was curious. She ran to the boat and climbed on it. She looked around and saw a lot of things. There were ropes, nets, cans and bottles. There was also a big wheel and a motor. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Mia said. "I wonder who owns this boat." + +Ben followed her and looked at the motor. He saw some wires and tools. He liked to fix things, so he picked up a tool and tried to repair the motor. + +"Maybe we can make it work," Ben said. "Then we can go for a ride." + +Mia nodded and helped him. They worked hard and had fun. But they did not see the owner of the boat. He was hiding behind a tree and watching them. He was not happy. He was angry. + +"Hey, you kids! Get off my boat!" he shouted. He came out of his hiding place and ran to the boat. He was tall and thin and had a long beard. He looked scary. + +Ben and Mia were scared. They dropped the tool and the motor and ran away. They did not want to get in trouble. + +"Sorry, mister!" Ben said. + +"We didn't mean to break your boat!" Mia said. + +They ran back to their house and told their mom what happened. She hugged them and said they were brave. She also said they should not go to the swamp again. She said the boat was not theirs and the swamp was not safe. + +Ben and Mia agreed. They learned their lesson. They decided to play in their backyard instead. They still liked to see the frogs, the fish and the birds. But they did not like the pale boat with the hole in it. They did not like the angry man with the long beard. They did not like the swamp. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with numbers. They had a new game where they had to count the boats in the port. They took turns to point at a boat and say its number. + +"One, two, three, four..." Lily said, pointing at the boats. + +"Five, six, seven, eight..." Ben said, pointing at more boats. + +They were having fun until they saw a big boat that was new. It was shiny and had many windows and flags. + +"Wow, look at that boat!" Lily said. "It's so new and pretty. I want to count it." + +"No, I want to count it!" Ben said. "It's my turn." + +They started to argue and tug at each other's arms. They forgot about the other boats and their game. + +A man who worked at the port saw them and came over. He smiled and said, "Hello, children. Do you like the boats?" + +"Yes, we do," Lily and Ben said. + +"That's good. Boats are wonderful things. They can take you to different places and show you new things. But you know what's more wonderful than boats?" + +"What?" Lily and Ben asked. + +"Friends," the man said. "Friends are the best thing you can have. They can help you, share with you, and make you happy. But you have to be kind and fair to your friends. You can't fight over silly things like who counts a boat. There are enough boats for everyone to count. And there are more things you can do together than count boats. You can draw boats, or make boats, or pretend to be boats. The important thing is to have fun and be nice to each other. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for being mean to each other. They said sorry and hugged. + +"Thank you, mister," they said. + +"You're welcome, children. Now, why don't you go and play some more? And remember, friends are more valuable than boats." + +Lily and Ben smiled and ran back to their game. They counted the boats together, and then they did other things with the boats. They had more fun than before, because they were friends. They learned that numbers are good, but friends are better. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a basket under a tree. The basket is empty. + +"Look, a basket!" Tom says. "Maybe we can fill it with flowers and leaves." + +"No, I want to fill it with rocks and sticks," Lily says. "They are more fun." + +Tom and Lily disagree. They both want the basket. They pull the basket from each other. The basket breaks. Tom and Lily are sad. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily says. "I should have shared the basket with you." + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom says. "I should have listened to your idea." + +Tom and Lily hug. They are friends again. They decide to make a new basket with paper and glue. They fill it with flowers and leaves and rocks and sticks. They are happy. +Lily was sick. She had a bad cough and a sore throat. She had to stay in bed and drink medicine. She did not like the medicine. It was bitter and made her face twist. + +She heard her brother Tom and her sister Mia playing outside. They were laughing and running and having fun. They were building a snowman with a hat and a scarf. Lily felt envious. She wanted to join them and play in the snow. She did not want to be sick and alone. + +She got out of bed and put on her coat and boots. She sneaked out of her room and went to the door. She opened the door and stepped outside. She felt the cold air and the snowflakes on her face. She smiled and ran towards the snowman. + +"Hi, Lily!" Tom and Mia said. "Do you want to join us?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. "I want to help you with the snowman. He looks very nice." + +But then she started to cough. She coughed and coughed and could not stop. She felt a pain in her chest and her throat. She dropped to the ground and cried. + +Tom and Mia ran to her and hugged her. They were worried and scared. + +"Lily, what's wrong?" Tom asked. "Are you okay?" + +"No, I'm not okay," Lily said. "I'm sick. I need my medicine. I'm sorry. I should not have come out. I was envious of you. I wanted to play with you." + +"It's okay, Lily," Mia said. "We understand. We love you. We want you to get better. Come on, let's go back inside. Mom will give you your medicine and tuck you in. Maybe tomorrow you will feel better and we can play together." + +They helped Lily up and took her inside. Mom was angry at first, but then she saw how sick Lily was and felt sorry for her. She gave her her medicine and tucked her in. She kissed her forehead and told her to rest. + +Tom and Mia stayed with Lily and read her a story. They made her laugh and smile. They told her they were not envious of her. They told her they were proud of her. They told her they were happy to have her as their sister. They told her they would always join her. Lily felt warm and loved. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. +Anna liked to visit her uncle Tom, who lived in a big house with a garden. He had many flowers and fruits that he grew with care. He always gave Anna some to take home and eat. Anna loved the sweet and juicy fruits, especially the apples. + +One day, Anna went to see her uncle Tom with her mom. He was very happy to see them and showed them his garden. He said, "Look, Anna, I have some new apples for you. They are very red and shiny. Do you want to pick some?" Anna nodded and ran to the apple tree. + +She reached for an apple that looked very nice, but when she touched it, it felt soft and mushy. She pulled it off the branch and saw that it was brown and rotten inside. She made a face and said, "Yuck, uncle Tom, this apple is bad. It is rot." + +Uncle Tom came over and looked at the apple. He frowned and said, "Oh, no, Anna, I'm sorry. Some of my apples have worms in them. They eat the apples and make them rot. I have to throw them away and keep only the good ones." He took the apple from Anna and tossed it in a bin. + +He said, "Don't worry, Anna, there are still many good apples left. You just have to look for the ones that are clear and firm. They are the best. Here, let me help you." He picked an apple that was clear and firm and gave it to Anna. She bit into it and smiled. It was sweet and juicy, just like she liked. She said, "Thank you, uncle Tom, this apple is good. It is not rot." + +Uncle Tom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Anna. I'm glad you like it. You can have as many as you want. Just remember to always check for worms before you eat them." He hugged Anna and said, "You are a smart and brave girl, Anna. I love you very much." Anna hugged him back and said, "I love you too, uncle Tom. You are the best uncle ever." +Lily was a little girl who liked to crawl. She crawled under the table, she crawled behind the sofa, she crawled in the garden. She liked to crawl because she could see things that were hidden and small. + +One day, she crawled to the pond where the frogs lived. She saw a big green frog sitting on a leaf. She wanted to say hello to the frog, so she crawled closer and closer. She reached out her hand to touch the frog, but the frog was scared and jumped away. + +"Ribbit, ribbit, go away!" the frog croaked. "You are too big and loud. You will break my leaf. It is fragile and thin. Leave me alone!" + +Lily was sad and hurt. She did not want to break the leaf or scare the frog. She just wanted to be friends. She crawled away from the pond and cried. + +Her mommy heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She hugged Lily and wiped her tears. + +"What happened, my sweetie?" she asked. + +Lily told her mommy about the frog and the leaf. She said she was sorry for making the frog angry. + +Mommy smiled and kissed her cheek. + +"It's okay, my darling. The frog was just afraid of you. He did not know you were friendly. Maybe next time, you can say hello from far away, and not touch his leaf. Then he might not be so scared. And you can find other things to crawl and see. There are many wonders in the garden." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She felt better. She hugged her mommy and said thank you. Then she crawled to find a new adventure. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to collect pebbles of different colors and shapes. They had a big pile of pebbles in their bucket. + +"Look, I found a shiny pebble!" Lily said, holding a silver pebble in her hand. "It is so pretty!" + +"Wow, can I see?" Ben asked, reaching for the pebble. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily said, pulling the pebble away. "I found it first!" + +"But I want it too!" Ben said, trying to grab the pebble. "It is not fair!" + +They started to tug and pull on the pebble. They did not see the dog that was running towards them. The dog was big and brown. He liked to chase things that moved. + +The dog saw the pebble in Lily's hand. He thought it was a ball. He barked and jumped on Lily and Ben. He snatched the pebble from their hands and ran away. + +"Hey, come back!" Lily and Ben shouted, chasing the dog. "That is our pebble!" + +But the dog was too fast. He ran across the park and disappeared behind a tree. Lily and Ben stopped and looked at each other. They were sad and angry. They had lost their shiny pebble. + +They walked back to their bucket. They saw that they still had many pebbles left. Some were red, some were blue, some were green. They were all different and beautiful. + +"Maybe we can share the pebbles," Ben said, picking up a green pebble. "We have enough for both of us." + +"Okay, that sounds good," Lily said, picking up a red pebble. "Sharing is nice." + +They smiled and hugged. They learned that gaining a pebble was not worth losing a friend. They also learned that some dogs like pebbles too. They decided to be more careful next time. They continued to play and have fun with their pebbles. +Tom and Mia liked to play with their dad's phone. They liked to record their voices and make funny sounds. One day, they found a new app on the phone. It was called Prune Face. It made their faces look like prunes, wrinkled and small. + +"Let's record ourselves with Prune Face!" Tom said. "It will be so funny!" + +"OK!" Mia agreed. They opened the app and pointed the phone at their faces. They made silly faces and noises. The app changed their faces into prunes and recorded them. + +They watched the video and laughed. They thought it was the funniest thing ever. They wanted to show their dad. + +They ran to the living room, where their dad was reading a book. They shouted, "Dad, dad, look what we did!" + +They showed him the video. Their dad looked at it and frowned. He did not think it was funny. He thought it was rude. + +"Why did you do this?" he asked. "Do you know what prunes are?" + +Tom and Mia shook their heads. They did not know what prunes were. + +"Prunes are dried plums. They are fruits that some people eat. They are bitter and sour. They are not nice to make fun of. How would you feel if someone made fun of your face?" + +Tom and Mia felt bad. They did not want to hurt anyone's feelings. They did not want to be mean. + +"We are sorry, dad," they said. "We did not know. We just wanted to have fun." + +Their dad hugged them. He was not angry. He was glad they learned their lesson. + +"It's OK, kids," he said. "But next time, be careful what you record. And remember, beauty is not in the face, but in the heart." +Lily was sleeping in her bed. She had a big teddy bear next to her. She liked to hug her teddy bear when she slept. It made her feel safe and warm. + +But then she heard a noise. It was a loud growl. It came from under her bed. Lily was scared. She thought there was a monster under her bed. She wanted to scream, but she was too afraid. + +She whispered to her teddy bear. "Teddy, do you hear that? There is a monster under my bed. What should we do?" + +Her teddy bear did not answer. It was just a toy. But Lily pretended that it could talk. She imagined that it said, "Don't worry, Lily. The monster is not real. It is just your stomach. You are hungry. That's why it makes noise." + +Lily thought about it. She remembered that she did not eat much for dinner. She was not in the mood. She only had some soup and bread. Maybe her stomach was angry at her. Maybe it wanted more food. + +She said to her teddy bear, "You are right, Teddy. It is not a monster. It is my stomach. It is harmless. It just wants some food. Maybe I should go to the kitchen and get a snack. Do you want to come with me?" + +Her teddy bear nodded. It was still a toy. But Lily pretended that it agreed. She got out of her bed. She took her teddy bear with her. She walked to the door. She turned on the light. She saw that there was nothing under her bed. She smiled. She was not scared anymore. + +She went to the kitchen. She found some cookies and milk. She shared them with her teddy bear. She felt better. Her stomach stopped growling. She said, "Thank you, Teddy. You are my best friend. You always help me. You are brave and smart." + +Her teddy bear smiled. It was still a toy. But Lily pretended that it was happy. She hugged her teddy bear. She went back to her bed. She fell asleep. She had sweet dreams. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a bright red truck with a sign that said "Candy". They ran to the truck and asked their moms if they could have some candy. + +"Please, mom, can we have some candy?" Anna said. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben said. + +Their moms smiled and said yes. They gave them some money and told them to be careful. Anna and Ben went to the truck and looked at all the different kinds of candy. There were lollipops, gummies, chocolates, and more. + +"What do you want, Anna?" Ben asked. + +"I want a lollipop. What about you?" Anna asked. + +"I want a gummy. But maybe we can share. Do you want to share?" Ben asked. + +Anna nodded. She liked to share with her friend. She picked a lollipop that was pink and purple. Ben picked a gummy that was green and yellow. They paid the man in the truck and thanked him. Then they went back to their moms. + +"Look, mom, we got candy!" Anna said. + +"We got candy too!" Ben said. + +They showed their moms their candy. Their moms said they looked yummy. They asked them if they wanted to share. + +"Yes, we want to share. We can include each other. Right, Anna?" Ben said. + +"Right, Ben. Sharing is fun. Here, you can have some of my lollipop. And I can have some of your gummy." Anna said. + +They broke their candy in half and gave each other a piece. They tasted their candy and smiled. They liked their candy and they liked their friend. They ate their candy and played in the park. They had a good day. +Tom and Ann like to play hide and seek. They take turns to hide and find each other. One day, they play in the big field near their house. There are many trees and bushes to hide behind. They also see a horse in the field. The horse is brown and big. It has a long tail and a mane. + +Tom says, "I will hide first. You count to ten and then find me." He runs away and looks for a good hiding spot. He sees the horse and thinks, "Maybe I can hide behind the horse. It is so big that Ann will not see me." He goes near the horse and tries to hide behind it. + +Ann counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks around the field and tries to find Tom. She does not see him behind the trees or the bushes. She wonders where he is. She sees the horse and thinks, "Maybe Tom is hiding behind the horse. I will go and check." She goes near the horse and tries to find Tom. + +But the horse does not like Tom and Ann. The horse is a bad horse. It does not like children who play near it. It thinks they are noisy and annoying. It sees Tom behind it and kicks him with its back legs. Tom falls down and cries. He is hurt and scared. He calls for Ann. + +Ann hears Tom and runs to him. She sees him on the ground and the horse above him. She is scared too. She tries to help Tom, but the horse kicks her too. She falls down and cries. She is hurt and scared. She calls for help. + +But no one hears them. No one is near the field. Tom and Ann are alone with the bad horse. The horse is angry and kicks them again and again. They cannot get up. They cannot run away. They cannot play anymore. They are very sad. The end. +Lily liked to climb. She climbed on the sofa, on the bed, on the chair. She climbed on the slide, on the swing, on the monkey bars. She climbed on the tree, on the fence, on the roof. She climbed everywhere. + +One day, it was very cold. Lily put on her thick coat, her thick hat, and her thick mittens. She wanted to climb on the snowman. She ran outside and saw the snowman. He had a carrot nose, a scarf, and a hat. He was very big and round. + +Lily tried to climb on the snowman. She grabbed his scarf and pulled. But the scarf was slippery and she fell. She tried to climb on his hat. She jumped and reached. But the hat was too high and she missed. She tried to climb on his nose. She pushed and pushed. But the nose was too small and she broke it. + +The snowman was sad. He had no nose. Lily was sad. She had no climb. She looked at the snowman and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Can we be friends?" + +The snowman smiled. He said, "It's okay. I forgive you. You can be my friend. But please don't climb on me. You can climb on something else." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Thank you. You are very nice. I will find something else to climb on. Maybe a hill, or a sled, or a pile of snow." + +Lily and the snowman hugged. They were happy. They played in the snow. They made snowballs, snow angels, and snow forts. They had fun. They were friends. +Sara and Ben were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to do something new and fun. + +"Let's go outside and explore!" Sara said to Ben. "Maybe we can find some bugs or flowers or rocks." + +Ben nodded. He liked to explore. He put on his hat and shoes and followed Sara to the door. They opened it and saw a big cloud of dust. + +"What is that?" Ben asked, covering his nose. + +"It's dust from the road. A big truck just passed by. It makes a lot of noise and dirt," Sara explained. + +"Can we go through it?" Ben wondered. He thought it looked exciting. + +Sara shrugged. "I don't know. It might be bad for our eyes and lungs. And it might make us dirty." + +Ben frowned. He didn't want to be dirty or sick. He wanted to have fun. + +"Maybe we can wait until it settles down. Then we can go outside and see what it left behind. Maybe there are some shiny things or funny shapes in the dust," Sara suggested. + +Ben smiled. He liked that idea. He thought it sounded mild and interesting. + +"Okay, let's wait. But not too long. I want to see what's in the dust," he agreed. + +They closed the door and sat on the couch. They watched the dust slowly fall to the ground. They wondered what they would find when they went outside. They felt excited and curious. They hoped it would be a good adventure. +Sara and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books, but they liked to make their own games. Sara had an idea. She said to Ben, "Let's play shop. You can be the shopkeeper and I can be the customer. I will pay you with these buttons." + +Ben liked the idea. He said, "OK, but what will you buy from me? I have this cushion, this ball, this car and this doll. They are all very nice and not too hot." + +Sara looked at the things Ben had. She wanted the cushion. It was soft and fluffy and had a picture of a cat on it. She said, "I want the cushion, please. How much is it?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He said, "The cushion is five buttons. It is very special and cozy. You will like it a lot." + +Sara counted her buttons. She had six buttons. She gave five buttons to Ben and said, "Here you are. Thank you for the cushion. It is very pretty and I love cats." + +Ben took the buttons and said, "You're welcome. Thank you for paying. Enjoy your cushion. Come again soon." + +Sara hugged the cushion and smiled. She said, "I will. This is the best shop ever." +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a loud horn. Ben liked the truck. He wanted to go near it and touch it. Lily hated the truck. She was scared of the horn. She wanted to go away from it and hide. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go see the truck!" Ben said. He ran towards the truck. + +"No, Ben, no! The truck is bad! The horn is loud! It hurts my ears!" Lily said. She ran away from the truck. + +Ben reached the truck. He saw the driver inside. The driver smiled at him and waved. He opened the door and said, "Hello, little boy. Do you like my truck?" + +"Yes, I do! It's big and shiny and cool!" Ben said. He climbed up the steps and sat in the seat. He saw the horn on the wheel. He wanted to press it. + +"Can I press the horn, please?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can. But be careful, it's very loud. And don't do it too long, or you might scare someone." The driver said. + +Ben pressed the horn. It made a loud noise. Ben laughed. He liked the noise. He pressed the horn again and again. + +Lily heard the horn. She hated the noise. She cried. She wanted Ben to stop. She wanted Ben to come back. + +"Ben, stop it! Stop it! You're scaring me! Come back, please!" Lily shouted. + +Ben heard Lily. He stopped pressing the horn. He looked out the window. He saw Lily crying. He felt bad. He liked Lily. He didn't want to scare her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to scare you. I was just having fun. Do you want to come and see the truck?" Ben said. + +Lily shook her head. She didn't want to see the truck. She wanted to play with something else. + +"OK, then. I'll come down and play with you. Thank you, mister, for letting me see your truck." Ben said. + +"You're welcome, little boy. Have fun with your friend." The driver said. + +Ben climbed down the steps and ran to Lily. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. Let's go play with something else. What do you want to play with?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, Ben. Let's go play with the swings. They're available and they're fun." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big river. They want to go near the water. + +"Look, Tom, the river is shiny and fast!" Sam says. + +"Yes, Sam, it is. But we have to be careful. The water can be deep and cold," Tom says. + +They walk to the river bank. They see some rocks and sticks. They throw them in the water. They hear splash and plunk. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Sam says. + +He picks up a big stick. He swings it in the air. He wants to throw it far. + +But the stick is too heavy. Sam loses his balance. He falls in the river. + +"Help, Tom, help!" Sam cries. + +Tom is scared. He sees Sam in the water. Sam is wet and cold. He tries to swim to the shore. But the water is strong. It pushes him away. + +Tom runs to get help. He sees a man with a dog. He shouts to the man. + +"Please, mister, please! My friend is in the river! He needs help!" + +The man hears Tom. He sees Sam in the water. He runs to the river bank. He tells his dog to stay. + +He takes off his coat. He ties it to a long stick. He reaches out to Sam. + +"Grab the coat, son! Grab the coat!" he says. + +Sam sees the coat. He is tired and hurt. He grabs the coat. The man pulls him to the shore. + +Tom hugs Sam. He is happy and relieved. Sam is shivering and crying. He has a cut on his leg. It is bleeding. + +The man wraps Sam in his coat. He picks him up. He carries him to his car. + +"Don't worry, boys. I'll take you to the hospital. They will wash your wound and make you feel better," he says. + +He drives away with Tom and Sam. His dog follows him. Tom and Sam thank the man. They are glad he saved them. They learned a lesson. They will never play near the river again. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. He has a long tail and big ears. He looks friendly. Tom and Mia want to pet the dog. + +"Hello, doggy!" Tom says. He walks to the dog. He holds out his hand. The dog sniffs his hand. He licks his hand. Tom smiles. He pets the dog. + +"Can I pet him too?" Mia asks. She walks to the dog. She holds out her hand. The dog sniffs her hand. He licks her hand. Mia smiles. She pets the dog. + +The dog is happy. He wags his tail. He barks. He jumps. He wants to play. He sees the ball. He runs to the ball. He picks up the ball. He chews the ball. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Tom says. He runs to the dog. He tries to get the ball. The dog growls. He runs away. He chews the ball more. + +"Stop, doggy, stop!" Mia says. She runs to the dog. She tries to get the ball. The dog growls. He runs away. He chews the ball more. + +The ball is not clean. The ball is dirty. The ball is wet. The ball is torn. The ball is not a ball anymore. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They have no ball. They have no fun. They cry. + +A man comes to the park. He sees the dog. He sees the ball. He sees Tom and Mia. + +"Hey, that's my dog!" the man says. He walks to the dog. He calls the dog. The dog drops the ball. He runs to the man. He wags his tail. He barks. + +"I'm sorry, kids. He likes to chew things. He doesn't know better. He's a puppy. He's still learning." the man says. He picks up the ball. He looks at the ball. He frowns. + +"This was your ball?" he asks. He shows the ball to Tom and Mia. They nod. They sniff. + +"I'm sorry. He ruined your ball. That's not nice. How can I make it up to you?" he asks. + +Tom and Mia look at each other. They look at the man. They look at the dog. They look at the kite. + +"Can we play with your dog?" they ask. + +The man smiles. He nods. He gives them the leash. He gives them a treat. + +"Sure, you can play with him. His name is Spot. He likes to run and fetch and play. He's a good dog. He just needs some training. And some friends. Like you." he says. + +Tom and Mia smile. They take the leash. They take the treat. They give the treat to Spot. He eats the treat. He licks their hands. He wags his tail. He barks. + +Tom and Mia play with Spot. They throw the kite. He runs and fetches the kite. He brings it back. He doesn't chew the kite. He learns. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They have a new friend. They have fun. They laugh. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Treasure Hunt. Follow the clues. Win a prize." + +"Wow, a treasure hunt!" Lily says. "Let's play!" + +"OK, but we have to be careful," Ben says. "We don't want to get lost or hurt." + +They read the first clue. It says: "Go to the slide. Look under the red mat." They run to the slide. They lift the red mat. They find a paper. It has a picture of a swing. + +"Let's go to the swing!" Lily says. They run to the swing. They look around. They see a box. It has a sticker of a star. + +"Maybe this is the treasure!" Ben says. They open the box. They find two books. One has a story about a dragon. The other has a story about a princess. + +"Wow, books!" Lily says. "I love books!" + +"Me too!" Ben says. "We win!" + +They hug each other. They are happy. They sit on the swing. They read the books. They have fun. They are good friends. +Lila and Tom are playing with blocks. They want to make a big structure with many blocks. They work hard and put blocks on top of each other. They make a tower, a bridge, a house and a wall. + +"Look at our structure!" Lila says. "It is so big and nice!" + +"Yes, it is!" Tom says. "We are good at making structures!" + +They are happy and proud of their work. They want to keep their structure for a long time. They do not want to break it or change it. + +But then, Sam comes along. Sam is a different boy. He likes to make noise and mess. He does not like to play with blocks. He likes to kick and throw things. + +"Hi, Lila and Tom!" Sam says. "What are you doing?" + +"We are playing with blocks!" Lila says. "We made a big structure!" + +"Can I see?" Sam says. He comes closer to their structure. He looks at it with a mean smile. + +Lila and Tom feel scared. They think Sam wants to ruin their structure. They hold their blocks tightly. + +"Please, do not touch our structure!" Tom says. "We want to keep it!" + +"Too bad!" Sam says. He kicks the tower and it falls down. He throws a block at the bridge and it breaks. He pushes the house and the wall and they collapse. + +Lila and Tom are sad and angry. They cry and shout at Sam. + +"Go away, Sam!" Lila says. "You are a bad boy! You broke our structure!" + +Sam laughs and runs away. He does not care about Lila and Tom. He does not care about their structure. + +Lila and Tom hug each other. They try to fix their structure. They use more blocks and make it stronger. They hope Sam will not come back. They hope their structure will stay. +One day, a little dog was lost in the big city. He was hungry and cold and scared. He did not know where to go or who to trust. He looked for a shelter, a place where he could be safe and warm and have some food. + +He saw a big house with a nice garden. He thought maybe the people who lived there would be kind to him. He walked to the door and scratched it with his paw. He hoped someone would hear him and open the door. + +But the door did not open. Instead, a big cat came out of a window and hissed at him. The cat was rude. He said, "Go away, you dirty dog! This is my house and my garden. You are not welcome here. You have no shelter here. Shoo, shoo!" + +The little dog was sad and scared. He ran away from the big house and the rude cat. He looked for another shelter, but he could not find one. He saw only cars and buses and people and noise. He felt very alone and unhappy. + +Then he saw a park. He thought maybe he could find a shelter there. He ran to the park and looked around. He saw some trees and flowers and grass. He saw some birds and squirrels and rabbits. He saw a bench and a slide and a swing. He saw a little girl and a little boy playing with a ball. + +The little girl and the little boy saw him too. They smiled and ran to him. They said, "Hello, little dog! What is your name? Do you want to play with us? Do you need a shelter? You can stay with us. We will be your friends. We will be kind to you." + +The little dog was happy and surprised. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He said, "Woof, woof! Thank you, little girl and little boy. You are very nice. I have no name and no shelter. But I would love to play with you and stay with you. You are my friends. You are my shelter." + +The end. +One day, a little girl named Mia went to the beach with her mom and dad. She liked to play in the sand and look for shells. She found a big shell that was shiny and pink. She was very happy and showed it to her mom and dad. + +"Look, look, I found a pretty shell!" she said. + +"That's a lovely shell, Mia," her mom said. "You can keep it as a souvenir." + +Mia put the shell in her bucket and ran to the water. She saw some waves and wanted to splash in them. But she was fearful of the water. She thought it was too deep and too loud. She stayed close to the shore and watched the other kids play. + +"Come on, Mia, don't be afraid," her dad said. "The water is fun and safe. I'll hold your hand and we can go together." + +Mia looked at her dad and then at the water. She wanted to try, but she was still fearful. She held her dad's hand and took a small step. Then she felt something tickle her foot. She looked down and saw a little crab crawling out of her shell. + +"Ah, there's a crab in my shell!" she screamed and dropped the shell and the bucket. The crab ran away and the shell and the bucket were washed away by a wave. + +Mia started to cry. She lost her pretty shell and her bucket. She was sad and scared. Her dad hugged her and tried to calm her down. + +"It's okay, Mia, it's okay," he said. "The crab didn't mean to scare you. He was just looking for a home. And you can find another shell and another bucket. There are plenty of them on the beach." + +Mia sniffled and looked at her dad. She saw that he was smiling and not angry. She felt a little better. She wiped her tears and smiled back. + +"Really?" she asked. + +"Really," he said. "And you know what? You were very brave to go to the water. You faced your fear and tried something new. That's a good thing to do. I'm proud of you." + +Mia felt a warm feeling in her chest. She was proud of herself too. She hugged her dad and said, "Thank you, dad. I love you." + +"I love you too, Mia," he said. "Now, let's go and have some fun. Maybe we can find a shell with a pearl inside." + +They laughed and walked to the water. Mia was not fearful anymore. She was happy and curious. She learned that sometimes, things that seem scary are not so bad. And that losing something is not the end of the world. And that her dad was always there to help her and love her. She had a wonderful day at the beach. +Lily was hungry. She wanted a snack. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I have a cookie?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can have one cookie. But first, you have to bring me the towel from the cupboard." + +Lily nodded and ran to the cupboard. She opened the door and saw many things inside. She saw plates, bowls, cups, and spoons. She also saw a big jar of cookies. They looked delicious. She wanted to eat them all. + +But she remembered what mom said. She had to bring the towel first. She looked for the towel. She found it on the top shelf. It was blue and soft. She reached for it and pulled it down. But she also knocked down the jar of cookies. It fell to the floor and broke. Cookies scattered everywhere. + +Lily gasped. She was scared. She heard mom coming. She quickly picked up the towel and ran to mom. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I broke the jar. I didn't mean to." + +Mom saw the mess. She was not happy. But she was not angry. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. Accidents happen. Thank you for bringing me the towel. Now, let's clean up the cookies together. And then, you can have one cookie as a snack. But only one, okay?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good girl." +Lily was a spoiled girl who always wanted to have her way. She did not like to share her toys, or to listen to her mom and dad. She always threw tantrums when she did not get what she wanted. + +One day, Lily wanted to go to the park and play with her friends. But her mom said no, because it was raining and cold outside. Lily got very angry and screamed at her mom. She said, "I hate you, mom! You are mean and boring! I want to go to the park now!" + +Lily ran away from her mom and opened the door. She ran outside without her coat or shoes. She did not care that it was wet and muddy. She just wanted to have fun. + +But soon, Lily felt very cold and tired. She started to cough and wheeze. Her lung hurt and she could not breathe well. She realized that she had made a big mistake. She wished she had listened to her mom and stayed inside. + +She saw her mom running after her with a worried look on her face. Her mom hugged her and said, "Lily, I'm so sorry. I love you, sweetie. I only want you to be safe and healthy. Let's go home and get you warm and dry." + +Lily felt sorry for being rude and selfish. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you too. You are not mean and boring. You are kind and smart. I should have obeyed you and stayed inside." + +Lily learned her lesson that day. She learned that being spoiled and stubborn does not make her happy. She learned that being respectful and grateful makes her happy. She learned that her mom knows what is best for her. She learned that running away is not a good idea. +Anna likes to dress up in her mom's clothes. She finds a big hat, a long dress and some shiny shoes in the closet. She puts them on and looks at herself in the mirror. She feels very pretty and grown-up. + +She goes to the living room, where her mom is reading a book. She says, "Look, mom, I am a lady!" + +Her mom smiles and says, "You are a very pretty lady, Anna. But those are my clothes, and they are too big for you. You might trip and fall if you walk in them." + +Anna says, "But I like them, mom. They are so nice and soft and sparkly." + +Her mom says, "I know, Anna, but you have your own clothes that fit you better. Why don't you go to your room and find something else to wear? You can use your rubber duck and your rubber ball to play with. They are very fun and colorful." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes her rubber toys, but she also likes her mom's clothes. She wants to keep them on, but she also wants to be polite to her mom. She says, "OK, mom, I will go to my room and change. But can I wear your hat for a little while? It is so big and floppy and funny." + +Her mom laughs and says, "Sure, Anna, you can wear my hat for a little while. But then you have to give it back to me, OK?" + +Anna nods and says, "OK, mom, thank you. You are very nice and kind." + +She gives her mom a hug and a kiss, and then goes to her room with her rubber duck and her rubber ball. She plays with them on the floor, and wears the hat on her head. She feels very happy and silly. She loves her mom and her toys. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to do different things. Anna loved to paint with many colors and make pictures of animals and flowers. Ben loved to explore and find new places and things to play with. One day, their mom gave them a big box of broccoli for lunch. She said it was good for them and they had to eat it all. + +Anna did not like broccoli. She thought it was green and yucky and smelled funny. She pushed her plate away and said, "No, thank you, mom. I don't want broccoli. I want to paint." She took her crayons and paper and went to the table. + +Ben did not like broccoli either. He thought it was boring and plain and tasted like grass. He hid his plate under the couch and said, "No, thank you, mom. I don't want broccoli. I want to explore." He took his backpack and flashlight and went to the basement. + +Mom did not see what they did. She was busy in the kitchen and thought they were eating their broccoli. She smiled and said, "Good kids. They are so adventurous and creative. They will grow up big and strong." + +Anna and Ben had fun doing their own things. Anna painted a beautiful picture of a rainbow and a unicorn. She was very proud of her work and wanted to show it to mom. Ben explored the dark and dusty basement and found a treasure chest full of old toys and books. He was very excited and wanted to show it to mom. + +They ran upstairs to find mom and share their discoveries. But when they got to the living room, they saw something that made them stop and gasp. Mom was holding their plates of broccoli and looking very angry. She had found out what they did and was not happy at all. + +She said, "Anna and Ben, what is this? You did not eat your broccoli. You lied to me and hid your plates. That is very naughty and rude. You have to eat your broccoli now or you will get no dessert and no TV." + +Anna and Ben felt very sorry and ashamed. They knew they had done wrong and had to face the consequences. They wished they had eaten their broccoli when they had the chance. They learned their lesson and never lied to mom again. They also learned to try new foods and not judge them by their looks. They still liked to paint and explore, but they also liked to eat broccoli sometimes. They were adventurous and creative, but also honest and respectful. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Anna had a pink teddy bear that she loved very much. Ben had a blue car that he liked to zoom around. + +"Look at my bear, she can dance and sing!" Anna said, making her bear move and hum. + +"That's nice, but my car is faster and stronger!" Ben said, making his car race and crash. + +They played for a while, until they heard their mom call them for lunch. + +"Come on, kids, it's time to eat!" Mom said. + +Anna and Ben put their toys on the couch and ran to the kitchen. They washed their hands and sat down at the table. Mom gave them sandwiches and juice. + +"Did you have fun playing?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, we did!" Anna and Ben said. + +They ate their lunch and talked to Mom. They told her about their toys and what they did with them. + +After they finished, they thanked Mom and ran back to the living room. They wanted to play some more. + +But when they got there, they saw something strange. Their toys were gone! + +"Where are our toys?" Anna asked, looking around. + +"I don't know, they were here before!" Ben said, feeling sad. + +They searched the couch, the floor, the shelves, but they could not find their toys. They were very upset. + +"Who took our toys?" Anna asked, crying. + +"Maybe they disappeared!" Ben said, scared. + +They hugged each other and wondered what happened. + +Then they heard a noise. It was coming from behind the curtains. They walked slowly and carefully to the window. They pulled the curtains and saw a big surprise. + +There was a cat behind the curtains. And the cat had their toys in its mouth! + +"Hey, that's our cat, Fluffy!" Anna said. + +"And that's our toys!" Ben said. + +They ran to the cat and tried to get their toys back. But the cat was not happy. It hissed and scratched and ran away. + +"Stop, Fluffy, give us our toys!" Anna and Ben shouted. + +They chased the cat around the house. The cat was fast and sneaky. It hid under the bed, behind the door, on the shelf. It was a mysterious cat. + +Anna and Ben did not give up. They followed the cat everywhere. They wanted their toys back. They loved their toys. + +Finally, they cornered the cat in the bathroom. The cat had nowhere to go. It dropped the toys and meowed. + +"Ha, we got you, Fluffy!" Anna and Ben said. + +They picked up their toys and hugged them. They were happy to have them back. + +"Bad cat, Fluffy, you can't take our toys!" Anna said. + +"Yeah, our toys have a price. They are ours!" Ben said. + +They looked at the cat and saw that it was sorry. It licked its paw and looked at them with big eyes. + +"Maybe Fluffy was lonely. Maybe Fluffy wanted to play with us." Anna said. + +"Maybe Fluffy likes our toys too. Maybe Fluffy can share with us." Ben said. + +They felt sorry for the cat. They decided to be nice to it. They brought their toys to the cat and let it play with them. + +"Here, Fluffy, you can play with our bear and our car. But you have to be gentle and careful." Anna said. + +"And you have to ask us first. And you have to give them back when we want them." Ben said. + +The cat nodded and purred. It played with the toys and with Anna and Ben. They had a lot of fun together. + +They were friends. +Lily liked to draw. She had many colors and papers. She drew flowers and trees and animals. She wanted to improve her drawing. She asked her mom to help her. + +"Mom, can you show me how to draw a bird?" Lily said. + +"Sure, Lily. Let me see your paper and pencil." Mom said. She took Lily's hand and drew a circle for the head, a triangle for the beak, and two curves for the wings. "There, that's a bird. Do you like it?" + +Lily looked at the bird. She did not like it. It was too simple. It did not look like a real bird. She wanted to draw a bird with feathers and eyes and feet. She frowned. + +"I don't like it, Mom. It's not a good bird." Lily said. + +Mom smiled. She knew Lily wanted to improve her drawing. She had an idea. + +"Why don't we go outside and look at some real birds, Lily? Maybe we can learn from them." Mom said. + +Lily liked that idea. She put on her coat and hat and followed Mom outside. They saw many birds in the garden. They saw a blue jay, a cardinal, a sparrow, and a robin. They heard them sing and fly and hop. Lily watched them carefully. She saw how they had different colors and shapes and sizes. She saw how they moved and acted. She felt happy. + +"Mom, can I try to draw a bird again?" Lily said. + +"Of course, Lily. Let's go back inside and get your paper and pencil." Mom said. + +They went back inside and Lily sat at the table. She picked a blue pencil and started to draw. She remembered what she saw outside. She drew a circle for the head, but she added two dots for the eyes and a line for the mouth. She drew a triangle for the beak, but she made it pointy and curved. She drew two curves for the wings, but she added some lines for the feathers. She drew two sticks for the legs and two ovals for the feet. She drew a long curve for the tail and more lines for the feathers. She looked at her drawing. She liked it. It looked like a real bird. She smiled. + +"Mom, look! I drew a bird!" Lily said. + +Mom looked at Lily's drawing. She was proud of Lily. She saw how Lily improved her drawing. She saw how Lily used her colors and shapes and lines. She saw how Lily made her bird look alive and happy. She hugged Lily. + +"That's a wonderful bird, Lily. You did a great job. I'm so happy for you." Mom said. + +Lily hugged Mom back. She felt happy. She improved her drawing. She made Mom smile. She loved to draw. +Sara was very happy. It was her birthday. She had a cake with four candles and a big balloon. She wanted to share her cake and balloon with her friends. But her friends could not come to her house. They lived in distant places. Sara was sad. + +Then her mom had an idea. She said, "We can order a video call with your friends. You can see them and talk to them on the screen. They can see your cake and balloon too. They can sing happy birthday to you. Would you like that?" + +Sara nodded. She liked that. Her mom ordered the video call on her phone. Soon, Sara saw her friends on the screen. They smiled and waved. They said, "Happy birthday, Sara! We miss you. We love you." Sara smiled and waved back. She said, "Thank you, friends. I miss you too. I love you." + +Then they sang happy birthday to Sara. Sara blew out her candles and made a wish. She wished that she could see her friends soon. She cut her cake and showed it to her friends. They said, "Yummy! That looks delicious. We wish we could have some." Sara said, "I wish you could have some too. Maybe next time." + +They talked and laughed for a while. They showed each other their toys and drawings. They played games and told jokes. Sara felt happy. She forgot that her friends were distant. They felt close to her. She thanked her mom for ordering the video call. She said, "This is the best birthday ever." Her mom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Sara. I'm glad you're happy. You're the best daughter ever." +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they got a new toy train from their grandma. They were very happy and wanted to share it. But they also wanted to spend more time with it than the other. + +"Let me play with the train, Lily!" Max said. "You had it for a long time!" + +"No, Max, it's my turn!" Lily said. "You can play with it later!" + +They started to pull the train from each other. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to be nice and patient.
