A lady opened it. She had a big smile and a big apron. + +"Hello, children," she said. "What are you doing here?" + +"We are looking for the bird that makes pies," Lily said. + +The lady laughed. She pointed to a cage on the table. There was a bird inside. It had a hat and a spoon. + +"That is my bird," she said. "He does not make pies. He helps me make pies. He stirs the filling and sings to me. Do you want to try some of my pies?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They were hungry and curious. + +The lady invited them in. She gave them each a slice of pie. It was warm and delicious. + +They thanked the lady and the bird. They said goodbye and went back to the garden. + +They decided that the bird had a good job.

Find the hidden star in the park!" + +Anna and Ben want to win the prize. They run to the park. They look for the star. They see many things: trees, flowers, birds, swings, slides. But they do not see the star. + +"Where is the star?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is fake. Maybe there is no prize." + +"No, it is not fake," Anna says. "We have to trust the poster. We have to keep looking." + +They look some more. They see a man. He has a big bag. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, kids," he says. "Are you looking for the star?" + +"Yes, we are," Anna and Ben say. + +"Well, you are in luck," the man says. "I have the star right here. In my bag.

Something valuable. Like your watches. Or your necklaces. Or your rings." + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They are confused. They do not understand why the man wants their things. They like their things. They do not want to give them away. + +"Why do you want our things?" Anna asks. + +"Because they are nice," the man says. "And because I am nice, too. I am giving you the star. The prize. You have to trust me." + +Anna and Ben do not trust the man. They think he is lying. They think he is trying to trick them. They think the star is fake.

They are still friends. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a dog. The dog is big and brown. It has a collar with a tag. The tag says "Rex". + +"Hello, dog," Tom says. He wants to pet the dog. He offers his hand to the dog. The dog sniffs his hand and wags his tail. He likes Tom. + +"Can I pet him too?" Lily asks.

He likes Lily too. + +"Rex, come here!" a voice calls. A man runs to the park. He is the dog's owner. He looks worried. + +"I'm sorry, he ran away from me. He is a good dog, but sometimes he is too curious. Thank you for being kind to him," the man says. + +"He is a good dog," Tom says. "We like him. He has a big heart." + +"Yes, he does. And he is dependable. He always comes back to me. Do you want to play with him for a little while? I can watch you," the man says. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily say. They are happy.

They will hurt you." + +Tom says, "Mia, please help me. Get me out of here. I don't want to be eaten." Mia thinks fast. She sees a big stick near the pit. She grabs it and throws it in the pit.

You saved me." + +They walk back to the park. They are happy to be together. They learn a lesson. They say, "We should not play with things that are dangerous. We should listen to our parents and be careful. We should also help each other when we are in trouble. That is what friends do." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two goals. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. + +One day, they are playing soccer and having fun. But Sam is careless. He kicks the ball too hard and it goes over the fence. The ball lands in the street, where there are many cars and buses. + +"Oh no!" Tom says. "Our ball is gone!" + +Sam feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, Tom. It was my fault. I will get it back." + +Sam runs to the fence and tries to climb over. But the fence is high and sharp. He hurts his hand and falls down. + +"Stop, Sam!"

Our ball is in the street and we can't get it." + +The police officer is kind. He says, "Don't worry, boys. I will rescue your ball. Stay here and be safe." + +The police officer goes to the street and stops the traffic. He picks up the ball and brings it back to Tom and Sam. + +"Here you go, boys," he says. "Your ball is safe.

Lily says, "I will go inside the box and you will try to find me. Then we will switch." Ben agrees. + +Lily goes inside the box and hides. Ben counts to ten and then looks for her. He looks under the slide, behind the tree, and in the sandbox. He cannot find her. He goes to the box and says, "Lily, are you in there?" He hears a giggle.

They take it back to the zoo. + +Lily and Ben are safe. They hug each other. They are brave pupils. They say, "We will never play in the box again." They play something else.

The bird sees them and flies away. + +"Oh no, the bird is gone!" Ben says. + +"Maybe it will come back," Lily says. + +They sit under the tree and wait. They see other birds, but not the blue one. They are sad. + +"Let's lay down and look at the sky," Ben says. + +"OK," Lily says. + +They lay down on the grass and look at the sky. They see white clouds and a yellow sun. They see a plane and a kite. They see a butterfly and a bee. + +"Look, Lily, a blue butterfly!" Ben says. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Lily says. + +The blue butterfly lands on Lily's nose. She giggles. The butterfly flies away. + +"Maybe it is friends with the blue bird," Ben says. + +"Maybe," Lily says. + +They smile and hug. They are happy. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play in the garden. They had a big pot that they used to make mud pies and pretend soup. One day, they saw a big worm in the pot and wanted to keep it as a pet. + +They named the worm Wally and gave him some leaves and dirt to eat. They put the pot in a shady spot and went to play with their ball. They were very happy with their new friend. + +But they did not know that Wally was not happy. He was scared and lonely in the pot. He wanted to go back to his home in the ground, where he had other worm friends and plenty of food. He tried to wiggle out of the pot, but it was too high and slippery. + +He also tried to make some noise, but Sam and Tom were deaf to his cries. They were too busy playing with their ball and laughing. They did not hear Wally or see how sad he was. + +After a while, Wally gave up and lay still in the pot. He felt very sick and weak. He wished he could see his worm friends again. + +When Sam and Tom came back to check on Wally, they saw that he was not moving. They touched him and felt that he was cold and stiff. They realized that he was dead. They felt very sorry and sad. They buried him in the garden and said sorry to him. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that not all animals like to live in pots. They learned that they should not take animals from their homes without their permission. They learned that they should listen to their animals and supply them with what they need. They learned that animals are not toys, but living beings that deserve respect and care. +Sara and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a basket of grapes that mom gave them for a snack. Sara likes grapes, but Ben does not. He thinks they are too sour and squishy. + +"Can I have your grapes, Ben?" Sara asks. + +"No, they are mine. You have your own," Ben says. + +"But you don't like them. I love them. Please, Ben, can I have them?" Sara begs. + +"No, no, no. Go away, Sara. Leave me alone," Ben says. He is angry and does not want to share. + +He runs away from Sara and finds a spot under a big tree. He digs a hole with his hands and puts his grapes in it. He thinks he is very clever. He covers the hole with dirt and leaves. He thinks Sara will never find his grapes. + +But Sara sees him. She follows him quietly and watches him bury his grapes. She waits until he is gone and then digs up his grapes. She is very happy. She eats some of the grapes and puts the rest in her basket. + +She sees a hairy caterpillar on a leaf.

They see something green and fuzzy on it. + +"Oh no, the cake is bad! It has mold on it!" Mom says. + +They throw away the cake. They are sorry and sad. + +"Don't worry, we have another dessert for you. It's in the fridge. It's ice cream!" Dad says. + +He brings out a big tub of ice cream. It has vanilla and strawberry and chocolate. He scoops some for Lily and Ben. They smile and lick the ice cream. + +"This is much better!" Lily says. + +They forget about the sour cake.

He thinks he is a rock star. His mom and dad do not like the loud noises. They tell him to play quietly or go outside. + +One day, Tim gets a big box in the mail. He is very excited. He thinks it is a new guitar. He opens the box and sees a big surprise. It is not a guitar. It is a ballet tutu and shoes. Tim is confused. He does not like ballet. He likes rock and roll. + +The box has a note from his grandma. She says she is sorry she could not send him a guitar. She says she thinks he would like ballet. She says ballet is graceful and fun.

The park has a big hill. Lily and Tom want to climb the hill. + +They hold hands and walk up the hill. It is hard and tiring, but they do not give up. They want to see the landscape from the top. They think it will be beautiful. + +When they reach the top, they stand and look around. They see trees and flowers and birds. They see houses and cars and people. They see the sky and the sun and the clouds. The sky is blue and bright. + +"Wow!" Lily says. "The landscape is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Tom says. "I like the blue sky. It makes me happy." + +They smile and hug. They are happy too. They sit on the grass and eat their snacks. They share their stories and jokes. They have fun on the hill. They love the park.

They decide to use it for their cars. + +They pour some oil on the floor and make a big puddle. They put their cars in the oil and slide them around. They laugh and have fun. The oil makes their cars go faster and smoother. + +But soon, they make a big mess. The oil spills on the carpet, the table, and their clothes. It is sticky and hard to clean. Their mom comes and sees the mess. She is not happy. + +She asks them what they are doing. Anna and Ben try to explain. They say they wanted to make their cars better. They mention the oil and how it helped their cars. They say they are sorry for the mess. + +Their mom is not angry, but she is not pleased. She tells them that oil is not for playing, but for cooking. She tells them that oil can be dangerous and dirty. She tells them to be more careful and gentle with their things. + +She helps them clean up the oil and the mess. She washes their clothes and the carpet. She puts the oil away in a safe place. She hugs them and tells them she loves them. + +Anna and Ben say they love her too. They promise to not play with oil again. They learn their lesson. They still like to play with their cars, but they use water or soap instead. They have fun and stay clean. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, they see a big pastry on the table. It is round and brown and has white cream on top. It smells good. + +"Let's eat it!" Tom says. + +"No, let's play with it!" Mia says. + +They climb on the chairs and grab the pastry. They break it into pieces and throw them at each other. They laugh and scream. The pastry is soft and sticky. It makes a mess on the floor, the walls and their clothes. + +Mom comes into the kitchen. She sees the pastry destroyed. She sees Tom and Mia covered in cream.

She thought she could find some beans there, because she liked beans very much. + +She rushed to the farm, but she did not look around carefully. She did not see the big cat that was hiding behind a bush. The cat saw Mia and wanted to catch her for his lunch. He jumped out and chased Mia with his sharp claws and teeth. + +Mia was very scared and ran as fast as she could. She saw a hole in the fence and ran towards it. She hoped she could escape from the cat. But the hole was too small for her. She got stuck in the fence and could not move. + +The cat was very happy and came closer to Mia. He said, "Ha ha, you are mine now, little mouse. You should not have rushed to the farm without looking. You are very foolish and greedy." + +Mia felt very sorry and sad. She wished she had listened to her mother, who always told her to be careful and smart. She thought she was going to die. + +But then, she heard a loud bark. It was a dog, who lived on the farm. He was a dependable dog, who always protected the farm from intruders. He saw the cat and the mouse and knew what was happening. He ran to the fence and barked at the cat. + +The cat was very afraid of the dog and ran away. He did not want to fight with the dog. He left Mia alone. + +The dog saw Mia and felt sorry for her. He said, "Don't worry, little mouse. I will help you. You are not my enemy. You are just hungry and lost. I will free you from the fence and show you where you can find some beans. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will never rush to the farm again without looking. You have to be careful and smart. Do you understand?" + +Mia nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, dog. You are very kind and brave. You saved my life. I promise I will never rush to the farm again without looking. I will be careful and smart. Thank you, thank you, thank you." + +The dog smiled and used his teeth to break the fence and free Mia. He then led her to a corner of the farm, where there were some beans. He said, "Here you go, little mouse. You can have some beans, but not too many. Leave some for the farmer and the other animals. And remember your promise. Be careful and smart." + +Mia thanked the dog again and ate some beans. She felt happy and full. She then said goodbye to the dog and went back to her family. She told them what happened and what she learned. They were all glad that she was safe and wise. They hugged her and said, "We love you, Mia. You are a good mouse." + +The moral of the story is: Don't rush to do things without looking. Be careful and smart. And be kind and grateful to those who help you. +Sam and Mia like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They build towers and houses and bridges with their blocks. They have fun playing together. + +One day, Sam and Mia find a new block. It is big and blue and shiny. They want to use it for their play. They take turns holding it and looking at it. They wonder what they can make with it. + +Sam has an idea. He says, "Let's make a big tower with the blue block on top. It will be the best tower ever!"

She says, "What happened, my loves?" + +Sam and Mia tell her what happened. They say, "We wanted to play with the blue block. But we dropped it. And it broke our tower. And we are sad." + +Mom hugs them. She says, "I'm sorry, my loves. I know you worked hard on your tower. But it's okay. You can build another one. And the blue block is not bad. It was an accident. Accidents happen sometimes. You can still play with it. Maybe you can use it for something else. Or you can share it with a friend. Or you can give it to me. I like blue things." + +Sam and Mia stop crying. They look at their mom and their blue block. They feel better. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you. And we love our blue block. Can we play with it again?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Of course, my loves. You can play with it again. And I will help you clean up the mess. And then we can have a snack.

He has a bottle of water and a hat. + +"Hello, old man," Anna says. "Can we have some water, please?" + +"Sure, little girl," the old man says. "You can have some water. But why are you carrying that bag of blocks?" + +"We are going on a journey," Ben says. "We want to build a castle on the hill." + +"That sounds like fun," the old man says. "But be careful. The hill is high and windy. You might lose your blocks or fall down." + +"Thank you, old man," Anna says. "We will be careful. Do you want to come with us?" + +"No, thank you," the old man says. "I am too old for journeys. I like to sit here and watch the birds. But you can have my hat. It will keep the sun off your head." + +"Thank you, old man," Ben says. "You are very kind. We will come back and show you our castle." + +Anna and Ben take the water and the hat. They say goodbye to the old man and continue their journey. They reach the top of the hill and build a beautiful castle with their blocks. They are happy and proud. They wave to the old man from the hill.

They can't find it and they start to worry. They wonder if the duck is gone forever. + +"Maybe we should ask Mom for help," Lily says, sniffing. + +"Okay, let's go," Ben says, nodding. + +They run to the kitchen where Mom is making cookies. They tell her what happened and ask her to help them find the duck. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "I'm glad you are honest and told me the truth. It's not nice to refuse to share or to throw things at each other. But I know you are sorry and you want to make up. Come on, let's go find the duck.

They think hard. They want to answer the question. + +"I know, I know!" Lily says, and raises her hand. "It is a horse!" + +The teacher smiles and shakes her head. "No, Lily, it is not a horse. A horse has a shorter nose and smaller ears. Does anyone else know?" + +Tom thinks harder. He remembers seeing a book with many animals. He finds the answer in his head. He raises his hand. + +"It is an elephant!" he says, and smiles. + +The teacher claps and nods. "Yes, Tom, it is an elephant! Well done! You are very smart!" + +Lily and Tom are happy. They both answered the question. They learned something new. They high-five each other and say, "We love school!" +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They see a red insect on a flower. It has wings and a long nose. + +"Look, Mia, a red insect!" Tom says. + +"What is it?" Mia asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe a butterfly?" Tom says. + +They go closer to the flower. The red insect moves its wings and flies away. + +"Bye, red insect!" Tom and Mia say. + +They follow the red insect with their eyes. It goes to another flower, then another, then another. + +"Wow, it likes flowers!" Mia says. + +"Yes, it does. Maybe it drinks the flower juice?" Tom says. + +They run after the red insect. They want to see more flowers and more insects. + +They have fun in the garden. They see many colors and shapes. They learn new things. They are happy. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. But today, they have a problem. Lila wants to play with the red car, and Tom wants to play with the same car. They both pull the car and say, "Mine!" + +Lila and Tom are loud. They make a lot of noise. Mom hears them and comes to see. She is not happy. She says, "Stop! You are not sharing. You are not being nice. You have to take turns with the car, or I will take it away." + +Lila and Tom are scared. They do not want to lose the car. They look at each other. They do not know what to do. They are quiet. There is silence. + +Mom sees them. She says, "Do you want to play with the car together? You can let each other have a turn. You can say, 'Please' and 'Thank you'. That is how friends play." + +Lila and Tom nod. They want to be friends. They want to play with the car. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lila. Sorry, Tom." They let each other have a turn. They say, "Please" and "Thank you". They smile. They are happy. + +Mom smiles too. She says, "Good job, Lila and Tom. You are sharing. You are being nice. You are good friends." She gives them a hug. She says, "You can play with the car for a little while. Then, you can choose another toy. There are many toys in the box. Some are big, some are small. But they are all fun." + +Lila and Tom hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." They go back to play with the car. They are careful. They are kind. They are friends. +Tommy likes bananas. He likes to peel them and eat them. He likes to make funny faces with the peels. He likes to share them with his friends. + +One day, Tommy sees a big bunch of bananas on the kitchen table. He wants to take one, but his mom says no. She says they are for later, for a cake. She says he has to wait. She says he has to be good. + +Tommy is not happy. He thinks his mom is mean. He thinks he deserves a banana. He waits until his mom goes to the bathroom. Then he runs to the kitchen. He grabs a banana from the bunch. He peels it and takes a big bite. + +"Yum!" he says. "This is the best banana ever!" + +But then he hears his mom coming back. He is scared. He knows he is naughty. He does not want to get in trouble. He looks for a place to hide. He sees the closet. He runs to the closet. He closes the door. + +"Tommy, where are you?" his mom calls. "I know you took a banana. You have to come out and say sorry." + +Tommy does not answer. He stays in the closet. He hopes his mom will go away. He hopes she will forget. He hopes she will not find him. + +But his mom does not go away. She does not forget. She does find him. She opens the closet door. She sees Tommy with the banana. She sees the peel on the floor. She sees the mess. + +"Tommy, what did you do?" she says. "You are very naughty. You did not listen to me. You took a banana without asking. You made a mess. You hid from me. You have to say sorry. And you have to help me clean up." + +Tommy feels bad. He knows he is wrong. He knows he has to say sorry. He knows he has to help. He looks at his mom. He sees her angry face. He sees her sad eyes. + +"I'm sorry, mom," he says. "I was hungry. I wanted a banana. I did not mean to be naughty. I love you." + +His mom sighs. She hugs him. She says she loves him too. She says he has to be more careful. She says he has to be more polite. She says he has to be more patient. + +They go to the kitchen. They clean up the mess. They put the bananas back on the table. They make the cake together. They share a slice. They smile. They are happy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, they find a big box in the garage. The box has many wires and buttons and lights. Tom and Sue think it is a fun toy. + +"Let's play with it!" Tom says. "Maybe it can do magic!" + +"Okay!" Sue says. "But be careful. It looks hard to use." + +Tom and Sue open the box and see many parts inside. They try to touch them and move them. They do not know what they do. They think it is a game. + +But the box is not a toy. It is an operation machine. It is for fixing people who are sick or hurt. Tom and Sue do not know that. They do not know they can break it or hurt themselves. + +The machine makes a loud noise. It starts to flash and beep. Tom and Sue are scared. They try to stop it. But they do not know how. The machine is too complicated for them. + +The machine has a big arm. It can provide help to people who need it. But it does not know Tom and Sue are playing. It thinks they need help. It moves the arm and grabs Tom. It tries to fix him. But Tom is not sick or hurt. The machine hurts him instead. + +"Help! Help!" Tom cries. "It hurts! Let me go!" + +Sue is very scared. She runs to get help. She finds Tom's mom and dad. They are angry and worried. They run to the garage. They see Tom and the machine. They try to save him. But it is too late. The machine has hurt Tom too much. Tom is gone. + +Tom's mom and dad are very sad. Sue is very sad. They wish they had not played with the machine. They wish they had asked before they touched it. They wish they had been careful. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with things you do not understand. They can be dangerous. Always ask for permission and guidance. Be careful and safe. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big hole under the fence. They wanted to know what was on the other side. + +"Let's go and look," said Lily. + +"OK, but be careful," said Ben. + +They crawled through the hole and found themselves in a field full of flowers. They smelled the sweet air and felt the soft grass. They saw a big tree with red apples. + +"Wow, look at that!" said Ben. + +He ran towards the tree and picked an apple. He bit into it and smiled. It was juicy and sweet. + +Lily followed him and picked another apple. She was about to bite into it when she heard a loud roar. She looked up and saw an enormous lion lying under the tree. The lion had a golden mane and a long tail. He looked angry and hungry. + +"Run!" shouted Lily. + +She dropped the apple and ran back to the hole. Ben saw the lion too and ran after her. The lion sprang up and chased them. He was fast and strong. + +Lily and Ben reached the hole and crawled through it. They heard the lion roar behind them. They ran to their house and slammed the door. They were safe. + +They hugged each other and breathed hard. They were scared and sorry. + +"We should not have taken the apples," said Lily. + +"No, we should not have," said Ben. + +They looked at the hole and saw the lion's face. He was still angry. He had something in his mouth. It was a piece of velvet. It was from Lily's dress. She had torn it when she crawled through the hole. + +"Sorry, Mr. Lion," said Lily. + +"Sorry, Mr. Lion," said Ben. + +The lion snorted and walked away. He went back to his tree and his apples. He was still hungry. He hoped to find something else to eat. He did not like velvet. +Sara was a little girl who liked to grow flowers. She had a small garden in her backyard, where she planted seeds and watered them every day. She was very proud of her flowers, and liked to show them to her friends and family. + +One day, Sara wanted to pick some flowers for her mom. She put on her hat and gloves, and went to her garden. She saw many beautiful flowers, in different colors and shapes. She smiled and said, "Hello, flowers! You are so pretty and nice!" + +But then, she saw a big boy who was walking by her fence. He was not a nice boy. He was ignorant. He did not care about flowers, or animals, or people. He only cared about himself. He saw Sara's garden, and he wanted to ruin it. He jumped over the fence, and started to step on the flowers. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, stupid flowers! You are so ugly and dumb!" + +Sara was very sad and angry. She ran to the boy, and tried to stop him. She said, "No, no, stop! You are mean and bad! These are my flowers, and I love them!" But the boy was bigger and stronger than Sara. He pushed her away, and she fell to the ground. She hurt her knee, and it started to bleed. She cried and said, "Ow, ow, it hurts!" + +The boy did not care. He kept stepping on the flowers, and making fun of Sara. He said, "Ha ha, crybaby! You are so weak and silly! Go away, and leave me alone!" But then, he made a mistake. He did not see a big rock in the garden. He tripped over the rock, and he fell to the ground. He hurt his head, and it started to bleed. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, it hurts!" + +Sara saw what happened, and she felt sorry for the boy. She was not ignorant. She cared about others, even if they were mean and bad. She got up, and went to the boy. She said, "Are you okay? Do you need help?" The boy was surprised and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should not have hurt your flowers, or you. You are very kind and brave. Can you forgive me?" + +Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will not hurt flowers, or animals, or people anymore. You have to promise me that you will learn to care and respect them. Can you do that?" + +The boy nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, I promise. I will do that. Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. Can we go to your house, and get some bandages for our wounds?" Sara said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go." They held hands, and walked to Sara's house. They became friends, and learned from each other. And Sara's flowers grew back, and were more beautiful than ever. +Tim and Liz liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. One day, they saw a big green thing in the grass. It had wings, a tail and sharp teeth. It was a dragon! + +"Wow, look at that!" Tim said. "Let's go and say hello." + +"Are you sure?" Liz asked. "It might be scary." + +"No, it's not scary. It's mild. See, it's smiling at us." Tim said. He walked towards the dragon. + +"Hello, dragon. What is your name?" Tim asked. + +The dragon made a soft sound. It sounded like "Rrrrr". + +"Rrrrr? That's a nice name. I'm Tim and this is Liz. Do you want to play with us?" Tim asked. + +The dragon nodded. It liked to play. It followed Tim and Liz to the slide. It took turns with them. It was fun. + +They played until the sun was low. Then they heard their moms calling them. + +"Tim, Liz, it's time to go home!" their moms said. + +"OK, mom. We're coming." Tim and Liz said. They said goodbye to Rrrrr. + +"Bye, Rrrrr. Thank you for playing with us. Can we see you again?" Tim asked. + +The dragon nodded. It waved its wings. + +"Bye, Tim. Bye, Liz. You are good friends. I'll be here tomorrow." Rrrrr said. + +Tim and Liz ran to their moms. They told them about the dragon. Their moms smiled. They did not believe them. But Tim and Liz knew it was true. They had a mild dragon friend. And they could not wait to see him again. + +The end. +Lily liked to make toast for breakfast. She put bread in the toaster and pushed the button. She waited for the toast to pop up. She liked to put butter and jam on her toast. + +But today, the toaster was broken. Lily pushed the button, but nothing happened. She pushed it again and again, but the bread did not turn into toast. She was sad and hungry. + +She called her mom. "Mom, the toaster is broken! I want toast!" + +Her mom was in the bathroom. She was deaf, so she could not hear Lily. She used a special device to make sounds louder. But she forgot to put it on this morning. + +Lily did not know that. She thought her mom was ignoring her. She was angry and frustrated. She stomped her feet and shouted louder. "Mom, the toaster is broken! I want toast!" + +Her mom finally heard Lily. She put on her device and came to the kitchen. She saw Lily crying and the toaster not working. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, honey. I did not hear you. The toaster is broken. We can make something else for breakfast. How about eggs and cheese?" + +Lily sniffed and nodded. She liked eggs and cheese. She wiped her tears and smiled. She said, "OK, mom. I love you." + +Her mom smiled back and said, "I love you too, Lily. Let's make breakfast together." +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to pretend they are animals. Tom says, "I am a lion. Roar!" He makes a loud sound with his mouth. Lily says, "I am a bird. Tweet!" She flaps her arms like wings. + +They see a big slide. They want to go on it. Tom says, "I go first. Lions are brave." He runs to the slide and climbs up. He looks down and sees how high it is. He feels scared. He says, "Maybe I am not a lion. Maybe I am a mouse. Squeak!" + +Lily laughs. She says, "You are not a mouse. You are a lion. Come on, slide down. It is fun." She climbs up behind him and pushes him gently. Tom slides down. He feels the wind in his face. He feels happy. He says, "Whee! That was fun. I am a lion again. Roar!" + +Lily slides down after him. She says, "That was fun. I am a bird again. Tweet!" They hug and laugh. They see a man with a camera. He says, "Hello, kids. You are so cute. Can I take a picture of you?" Tom and Lily nod. They smile and pose. The man says, "Say cheese!" + +Tom and Lily say, "Cheese!" But then, Tom feels something wet in his pants. He has peed. He feels embarrassed. He says, "Oh no! I am not a lion. I am a baby. Waa!" He cries and hides his face. Lily says, "It is okay, Tom. It happens sometimes. You are still a lion. And I am still your friend. Come on, let's go home and change. We can play again later." She holds his hand and walks with him. The man says, "Sorry, kids. I hope you are okay. Here is your picture. You are still cute." He gives them the picture and waves goodbye. Tom and Lily wave back. They look at the picture and smile. They are still animals. And they are still friends. The end. +Lily liked to play with her blocks. She had many blocks of different shapes and colors. She liked to match the blocks that were the same. She matched the red blocks, the blue blocks, the yellow blocks, and the green blocks. + +One day, she saw a new block on the floor. It was not like her other blocks. It was round and soft and smelled funny. She picked it up and looked at it. It was cheese. She wondered if she could match it with her blocks. + +She tried to match the cheese with the red blocks, but it did not fit. She tried to match it with the blue blocks, but it did not look right. She tried to match it with the yellow blocks, but it was too big. She tried to match it with the green blocks, but it was too yellow. + +She was sad. She could not match the cheese with any of her blocks. She did not know what to do with it. She decided to ask her mom. + +She ran to her mom and showed her the cheese. She said, "Mom, I can't match this. What is it?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "That is cheese, Lily. It is not a block. It is food. You can eat it if you like. It is yummy." + +Lily was surprised. She did not know that cheese was food. She took a bite and tasted it. It was yummy. She liked cheese. She said, "Thank you, mom. I like cheese. But I still like to match my blocks." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like cheese. And I'm proud of you for matching your blocks. You are very smart." +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play outside with their toys. One day, they see a big car in front of their house. The car is red and shiny. It has four doors and a long trunk. + +"Wow, look at that car!" Lily says. "It is so pretty!" + +Tom nods. He runs to the car and touches it. He likes how it feels. He opens the door and climbs inside. He pretends to drive the car. He makes noises with his mouth. "Vroom, vroom!" + +Lily follows him. She sits next to him. She sees a lot of buttons and knobs on the dashboard. She wonders what they do. She pushes one of them. The car makes a loud honk. + +"Beep, beep!" Lily says. She laughs. + +Tom laughs too. He pushes another button. The car plays music. They hear a song they know. They sing along. + +"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!" + +They have fun in the car. They do not see their mom coming out of the house. She sees them in the car. She is not happy. + +"Hey, you two, get out of the car right now!" she says. "That is not your car. That is Mr. Lee's car. He is our neighbor. He is very nice, but he does not like you to touch his car. He will be mad if he sees you." + +Lily and Tom are scared. They do not want to make Mr. Lee mad. They do not want to make their mom mad. They get out of the car quickly. They say sorry to their mom. They run back to their toys. + +They do not look at the car anymore. They play with their toys. They hope Mr. Lee does not see them. They hope he likes his car. They think it is very pretty. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over them. One day, Sara found a long stamp in her drawer. It had a picture of a lion on it. She wanted to stick it on her book. + +"Look, Ben, I have a long stamp. It is mine. You can't have it," she said. + +Ben looked at the stamp. He liked lions. He wanted the stamp too. + +"Give me the stamp, Sara. I want to play with it," he said. + +"No, Ben, it is mine. Go away," Sara said. She held the stamp tightly. + +Ben was angry. He tried to grab the stamp from Sara. They pulled and pushed. Then Ben poked Sara in the eye. Sara cried out. She let go of the stamp. Ben took it and ran away. + +Sara was sad and hurt. She rubbed her eye. She wished Ben would give her back the stamp. She wished they could share it. + +Mama heard Sara crying. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Sara's eye was red. She saw Ben hiding with the stamp. + +"What happened, Sara? Why are you crying?" Mama asked. + +"Ben poked me in the eye. He took my long stamp. He is mean," Sara said. + +Mama frowned. She called Ben to come. She asked him to tell the truth. + +"Ben, did you poke Sara in the eye? Did you take her stamp?" Mama asked. + +Ben looked down. He felt sorry. He knew he was wrong. + +"Yes, Mama, I did. I wanted the stamp. I like lions. But I was bad. I hurt Sara. I am sorry," Ben said. + +Mama nodded. She said, "Ben, you should not poke Sara in the eye. That is not nice. You should not take her stamp. That is not fair. You should ask her if you can play with it. You should share with her. She is your sister. You should love her." + +Ben nodded. He said, "You are right, Mama. I should love Sara. I should share with her. I don't need the stamp. I have other toys. I will give it back to her. I will say sorry to her." + +Ben gave the stamp back to Sara. He said, "Sara, I am sorry I poked you in the eye. I am sorry I took your stamp. You can have it. It is yours. Do you want to play with it together?" + +Sara smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben. I am sorry I was mean to you. You can play with the stamp too. It is ours. Do you want to stick it on our book?" + +Ben smiled. He said, "Yes, Sara, I do. Let's stick it on our book. Let's make a story about the lion." + +Sara and Ben hugged. They stuck the stamp on their book. They made a story about the lion. They had fun. They were happy. + +Mama smiled. She said, "That's good, Sara and Ben. You are good twins. You learned to share and to say sorry. You learned to love each other. I am proud of you." + +The end. +Sara was very happy. It was her birthday and she had a big cake and many presents. She wanted to open them all and see what was inside. She saw a big box with a red bow and a tag that said "For Sara, from Mom and Dad". She ran to the box and tore the paper. + +Inside the box was a beautiful doll. She had long blonde hair and a pink dress and shoes. Sara loved dolls and she hugged the doll and said "Thank you, Mom and Dad, thank you, thank you!" She wanted to play with the doll right away and make her hair and dress look nice. + +But then she saw her brother Tom. Tom was not happy. He was angry and jealous. He did not like dolls and he did not like Sara. He wanted to make Sara sad and cry. He sneaked behind Sara and grabbed the doll from her arms. He said "This doll is ugly and stupid, like you!" He pulled the doll's hair and ripped the dress and shoes. He threw the doll on the floor and stepped on it. He heard a snap. He broke the doll's leg. + +Sara saw what Tom did and she screamed. She ran to the doll and picked it up. She saw the broken leg and the dirty hair and the torn dress and shoes. She felt very sad and hurt. She cried and cried and said "Tom, you are mean and bad, you ruined my doll, you ruined my birthday!" She hugged the doll and tried to fix it, but it was too late. The doll was broken and dirty and could not be fixed. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to see what happened. They saw Sara crying and Tom laughing. They saw the broken and dirty doll and the ripped paper and the smashed cake. They were very angry and disappointed. They said "Tom, how could you do this? You are in big trouble, mister. You have to say sorry to Sara and give her your present. And you have to go to your room and stay there. No cake, no games, no fun for you today." They took Tom by the hand and dragged him to his room. He did not say sorry. He did not care. + +Sara did not want Tom's present. She did not want anything. She only wanted her doll. She did not stop crying. She did not have a happy birthday. She had a very bad day. +Lily and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They zoom and honk and have fun. + +One day, they see a big fire on TV. The fire is in a forest and it makes a lot of smoke and ash. The ash is gray and black and it falls on the ground and the houses. Lily and Ben feel sad and scared. + +"Mom, what is ash?" Lily asks. + +"Ash is what is left when something burns, like wood or paper," Mom says. "The fire is very hot and it makes ash." + +"Can we help the forest?" Ben asks. + +"Well, we can't go there, but we can do something here," Mom says. "We can encourage the people who are fighting the fire. We can make cards and pictures and say thank you and be brave." + +Lily and Ben like this idea. They get some paper and crayons and scissors and glue. They make messy cards and pictures with hearts and stars and flowers. They write thank you and be brave and we love you. + +"Mom, can we send these to the people?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, we can," Mom says. "We can put them in an envelope and mail them. Maybe they will make them smile and feel better." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They hug Mom and each other. They hope the fire will stop soon and the forest will grow again. They hope the people will like their cards and pictures. They hope the ash will go away. +Ben was a fisherman. He liked to catch fish in the sea. He had a boat with a light. The light helped him see the fish at night. + +One night, Ben went to the sea with his boat and his light. He saw many fish in the water. He threw his net and caught some fish. He was happy. + +But then, he heard a loud noise. He looked up and saw a big ship. The ship was coming fast. The ship did not see Ben's boat and his light. Ben was scared. + +He shouted, "Help! Help! My name is Ben! I am a fisherman! Please see my light!" + +But the ship did not hear Ben. The ship hit Ben's boat and his light. Ben's boat broke and his light went out. Ben fell into the water. He could not swim. He sank and drowned. + +The ship did not stop. The ship did not know what it did. The ship went away. + +The fish in the water swam away. They did not care. They were free. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the park near their house. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. Sometimes they saw big birds in the sky. They were called jets. They made loud noises and left white trails behind them. + +One day, Ben and Lily saw a very old jet in the park. It was not flying. It was on the ground, next to a fence. It was ancient. It had rust and holes and broken wings. Ben and Lily wanted to see it closer. They ran to the fence and looked at the jet. + +"Wow, it's so big and cool!" Ben said. + +"Can we go inside?" Lily asked. + +They saw a hole in the fence. They crawled through it and ran to the jet. They climbed on the wing and opened the door. They went inside the jet. + +It was dark and cold and dusty inside. There were many buttons and wires and screens. Ben and Lily touched them and pretended to fly the jet. They had fun. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a siren. It was coming from the fence. They looked outside and saw a man in a uniform. He was angry. He was shouting at them. + +"Hey, you kids! Get out of there! This is a dangerous place! This jet is a bomb!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not know what a bomb was. But they knew it was bad. They jumped out of the jet and ran to the fence. They crawled through the hole and ran to the park. + +They were shivering. They were cold and afraid. They hugged each other and cried. + +They never played near the ancient jet again. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to hang on the bars and slide on the slide. They also like to jog with their dog, Spot. + +One day, they meet a new boy in the park. His name is Max. He has a big bike. He rides fast and loud. He does not say hello. He does not smile. + +Tom and Jen want to be friendly. They ask Max if he wants to play with them. But Max says no. He says he does not like to hang or slide or jog. He says he only likes to ride his bike. He says his bike is better than their dog. + +Tom and Jen feel sad. They think Max is mean. They do not want to play with him. They go to another part of the park with Spot. They have fun together. + +Max is alone. He rides his bike around the park. He does not see anyone. He does not hear anyone. He feels bored. He wishes he had someone to play with. He wonders if he was too mean to Tom and Jen. He thinks maybe he should say sorry and try to be friendly. He thinks maybe he can hang or slide or jog with them and their dog. He thinks maybe he can have fun with them. He decides to go and find them. He hopes they will let him play with them. He hopes they will be his friends. +Tom and Sue like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but they have different favorites. Tom loves his red car. He makes it zoom and beep on the floor. Sue loves her pink fan. She waves it and makes cool air on her face. + +One day, they decide to trade their toys for a while. Tom gives his car to Sue, and Sue gives her fan to Tom. They say thank you and try their new toys. But soon, they are not happy. + +"Your fan is boring," Tom says. "It only moves a little bit. My car is faster and louder." + +"Your car is noisy," Sue says. "It hurts my ears. My fan is quieter and prettier." + +They look at each other and feel sad. They miss their own toys. They realize that their toys are unique and special to them. They value their toys more than the other ones. + +They decide to trade back their toys. Tom gives the fan to Sue, and Sue gives the car to Tom. They say sorry and hug each other. They are happy again. + +They learn that it is good to share, but it is also good to appreciate what they have. They play together with their toys, and sometimes they switch for a little bit. But they always remember to value their toys and their friendship. +Sara was a little girl who liked to suck her thumb. She sucked her thumb when she was happy, when she was sad, when she was bored, and when she was sleepy. She thought her thumb was the best thing in the world. + +One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and saw some other kids playing. She wanted to join them, but she was shy. She sucked her thumb and watched them from a bench. One of the kids saw her and came over. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with us?" he asked. + +Sara nodded, but did not take her thumb out of her mouth. + +"Why do you suck your thumb?" Ben asked. "That's for babies. You're a big girl." + +Sara felt hurt and embarrassed. She did not know what to say. She wanted to be friends with Ben and the other kids, but she also wanted to keep her thumb. + +"Mom, can we go home?" she whispered. + +Mom saw that Sara was upset and hugged her. + +"What's wrong, sweetie?" she asked. + +"Ben said I'm a baby because I suck my thumb.

I can play with you. I want to be your friend. I want to be popular. I don't want to be alone." + +Ben laughed and said, "Too late, Lisa. Too late. You had your chance. You missed it. Now go away. Leave me alone. I don't want to be your friend. I don't want to share with you. I don't want to play with you. You are not popular. You are alone." + +Lisa ran away, crying. She felt very sad and lonely. She wished she had an apple. She wished she had a friend. She wished she was popular. She wished Ben was nice. +Anna liked to design things. She used paper, crayons, scissors and glue to make pictures, cards and toys. She liked to show her designs to her friends and family. They always said nice things about her work. + +One day, Anna went to school with a special design. She had made a crown with shiny paper and stickers. She wanted to wear it for the show and tell. She was very proud of her crown. + +But when she got to school, she saw that Lily had a crown too. Lily's crown was bigger and had more stickers. Lily said, "Look at my crown. I made it myself. It is the best crown ever." + +Anna felt sad. She thought her crown was not good enough. She wanted to have a crown like Lily's. She had an idea. She waited until Lily was not looking. Then she took Lily's crown and hid it in her backpack. She put her own crown on Lily's desk. + +When it was time for the show and tell, Anna went to the front of the class. She wore Lily's crown and said, "Look at my crown. I designed it myself. It is the best crown ever." + +The teacher and the other children clapped. They said, "Wow, Anna, your crown is beautiful. You are very creative." + +But Lily saw her crown on Anna's head. She felt angry. She said, "That is not your crown. That is my crown. You took it from me. You are a thief." + +Anna felt scared. She did not know what to say. She looked at the teacher. The teacher looked at her with a serious face. She said, "Anna, is that true? Did you take Lily's crown?" + +Anna knew she had done something wrong. She knew she had to be honest. She said, "Yes, teacher, I did. I am sorry. I liked Lily's crown. I wanted to have it. I was not nice to Lily. I was not nice to myself." + +The teacher nodded. She said, "Anna, I am glad you told the truth. But you have to give Lily's crown back. And you have to say sorry to Lily. And you have to show us your own crown. Your own crown is also beautiful. You should be proud of your own design." + +Anna did what the teacher said. She gave Lily's crown back. She said sorry to Lily. She showed her own crown. Lily said, "Your crown is nice too. I like the shiny paper. You are good at designing." + +Anna felt better. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are good at designing too. I like the stickers. Can we be friends?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, we can be friends. Can we share our crowns?" + +Anna smiled too. She said, "Yes, we can share our crowns. And we can design more things together." + +The teacher and the other children clapped again. They said, "Well done, Anna and Lily. You are honest and kind. You are good friends. And you are both creative designers." +Lila and Ben were very happy. They were going on a safari with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see lions and elephants and zebras. They packed their bags and got in the car. + +"Are we there yet?" Lila asked. + +"Soon, sweetie," Mom said. "Look, there's the gate to the park. We have to shut the windows and lock the doors. It's not safe to open them when we're inside." + +"Why not?" Ben asked. + +"Because some animals might be harsh," Dad said. "They might bite or scratch or roar. We have to be careful and quiet and respectful." + +Lila and Ben nodded. They shut the windows and locked the doors. They looked out and saw many animals. They saw giraffes with long necks and spots. They saw monkeys with tails and fur. They saw hippos with big mouths and teeth. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Lila said. + +"I know, right?" Ben said. + +They drove along the road and saw more animals. They saw rhinos with horns and skin. They saw crocodiles with scales and claws. They saw ostriches with feathers and legs. + +"Look, there's a lion!" Lila said. + +"Shh, don't shout," Dad said. "We don't want to scare him." + +They watched the lion as he lay on the grass. He had a mane and eyes and paws. He looked at them and yawned. He didn't seem to care. + +"He's so cool," Ben said. + +"He's the king of the jungle," Lila said. + +They smiled and took pictures. They had a lot of fun on their safari. They learned a lot about animals. They thanked Mom and Dad for the trip. They were very happy. +Lily wanted to make a card for her mom. She had paper, glue, and stickers, but she needed scissors to cut the paper. She asked her dad if he could buy scissors for her. + +"Sure, Lily, we can go to the store and buy scissors. But you have to be careful with them, okay? They are sharp and can hurt you if you don't use them right." + +"Okay, dad, I will be careful. I want to make a nice card for mom. She will be happy." + +Lily and her dad went to the store and looked for scissors. There were many kinds of scissors, but Lily liked the ones that had a pink handle and a picture of a cat on them. She asked her dad if he could buy those scissors for her. + +"Those are very pretty scissors, Lily. But they are too big for your hands. Look, these scissors are smaller and easier to use. They have a green handle and a picture of a frog on them. Do you like them?" + +Lily looked at the green scissors and saw that the frog was very hairy. She did not like hairy frogs. She shook her head and said, "No, dad, I don't like them. They are ugly. I want the pink scissors with the cat." + +"But, Lily, the pink scissors are not good for you. They are too big and too heavy. You will have a hard time cutting the paper with them. The green scissors are better for you. They are light and sharp. You will make a beautiful card with them." + +Lily did not listen to her dad. She wanted the pink scissors with the cat. She started to cry and scream, "I want the pink scissors! I want the pink scissors!" + +Her dad was sad and angry. He did not like it when Lily cried and screamed. He tried to calm her down and explain to her why the green scissors were better, but she did not listen. She kept crying and screaming. + +The other people in the store looked at Lily and her dad. They wondered why they were making so much noise. Some of them felt sorry for them, and some of them felt annoyed by them. + +Lily and her dad did not buy any scissors that day. They left the store without a card for mom. Lily was still crying and her dad was still sad and angry. They did not have a good day. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big fan near the pond. The fan makes the water move and the air cool. + +"Look, a fan!" Mia says. "Let's go near it." + +"OK, but be careful. The fan is loud and fast," Ben says. + +They run to the fan and feel the wind on their faces. They laugh and shout. They see some ducks in the pond. The ducks swim away from the fan. + +"Hey, ducks, come here!" Mia calls. "We want to feed you." + +Ben has an idea. He jokes with Mia. He says, "Mia, do you know why the ducks are scared of the fan?" + +"No, why?" Mia asks. + +"Because the fan is a big duck-eater!" Ben says. He makes a scary face and a quack sound. + +Mia screams and runs away from the fan. She thinks Ben is telling the truth. She is afraid of the fan. + +Ben laughs and follows her. He says, "Mia, Mia, wait! I was joking. The fan is not a duck-eater. It is just a fan. I'm sorry. Don't be mad at me." + +Mia stops and looks at Ben. She sees that he is smiling. She realizes that he was joking. She is not afraid of the fan anymore. She is not mad at Ben. She says, "Ben, you are silly. You scared me. But you are also funny. I forgive you." + +They hug and go back to the fan. They play and joke with each other. They have fun. They are happy. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they did not like to clean them. They left them on the floor, on the bed, on the table, everywhere. Their mom was not happy. She told them, "You have to clean your toys, or they will get lost or broken. And you will have no toys to play with." + +But Tim and Kim did not listen. They said, "We don't want to clean. Cleaning is dull. We want to play. Playing is fun." And they ran away to the park. They left their toys on the floor, on the bed, on the table, everywhere. + +At the park, they saw a big slide. They wanted to slide on it. They ran to the slide, but they saw a boy and a girl already on it. The boy and the girl had shiny toys in their hands. They looked like new toys. Tim and Kim felt a wonder in their eyes. They wanted those toys. They asked the boy and the girl, "Can we play with your toys?" + +The boy and the girl looked at them and said, "No, you can't. These are our toys. We take good care of them. We clean them every day. We put them in a box when we don't play with them. We don't leave them on the floor, on the bed, on the table, everywhere. That's why they are shiny and new. Your toys are dull and old. You don't take good care of them. You don't clean them. You don't put them in a box. You leave them on the floor, on the bed, on the table, everywhere. That's why they are dull and old. You don't deserve to play with our toys." + +Tim and Kim felt sad and ashamed. They realized that the boy and the girl were right. They had been bad to their toys. They had not cleaned them. They had not put them in a box. They had left them on the floor, on the bed, on the table, everywhere. They said, "We are sorry. You are right. We have been bad to our toys. We will go home and clean them. We will put them in a box. We will not leave them on the floor, on the bed, on the table, everywhere. We will take good care of them. Maybe then they will be shiny and new like yours." + +The boy and the girl smiled and said, "That's good. We are glad you learned your lesson. Maybe next time we can play together. But first, you have to clean your toys. Cleaning is not dull. Cleaning is good. Cleaning makes your toys happy. And happy toys make happy kids." + +Tim and Kim nodded and said, "Thank you. We will do that. We will clean our toys. We will make them happy. And we will be happy too." And they ran back to their home, where they cleaned their toys, put them in a box, and did not leave them on the floor, on the bed, on the table, everywhere. And they felt a wonder in their hearts. Their toys looked shiny and new. And they were happy. +Anna likes to imagine things. She likes to imagine she is a princess, or a pirate, or a doctor. She likes to imagine she can fly, or swim, or talk to animals. She likes to imagine she has magic powers, or a big castle, or a pet dragon. + +One day, Anna is bored. She has no one to play with. Her brother is at school, and her mom is busy. She looks around the kitchen and sees a pot of soup. She thinks, maybe I can imagine something with the soup. + +She takes a spoon and dips it in the soup. She pretends the soup is a lake, and the spoon is a boat. She makes the boat sail across the lake, and says, "Ahoy, mateys! I am Captain Anna, and this is my ship. We are looking for treasure and adventure." + +She dips the spoon again, and pretends the soup is a jungle, and the spoon is a plane. She makes the plane fly over the jungle, and says, "Wow, look at all the animals! I am Explorer Anna, and this is my plane. We are looking for new and exciting things." + +She dips the spoon again, and pretends the soup is a galaxy, and the spoon is a rocket. She makes the rocket zoom through the galaxy, and says, "Blast off! I am Astronaut Anna, and this is my rocket. We are looking for stars and planets." + +She has so much fun imagining things with the soup, that she does not notice her mom watching her. Her mom smiles and says, "Anna, you have a wonderful imagination. Do you want to try some of the soup? It is nice and warm, and it has carrots and potatoes and chicken. It is good for you." + +Anna nods and says, "Yes, please. I am hungry. Can I still imagine things with the soup?" + +Her mom says, "Of course you can. You can imagine anything you want. But don't forget to eat, too. Eating is also important." + +Anna says, "OK, mom. Thank you for the nice soup. And thank you for letting me imagine." She takes a sip of the soup, and says, "Mmm, this is yummy. And it is also a lake, and a jungle, and a galaxy. I love soup, and I love imagining." +Sara and Tom were playing on the beach. They made a big sand castle with shells and sticks. They were very proud of their castle. + +"Look at our castle, Mom!" Sara shouted. "It is the best castle ever!" + +Mom smiled and took a picture. "It is very beautiful, Sara. You and Tom are very thoughtful. You worked hard and shared your things." + +Sara and Tom smiled and hugged Mom. They went back to play with their castle. + +But then they noticed something. The water was getting closer and closer to their castle. The tide was coming in. + +"Oh no!" Tom cried. "The water will wash away our castle!" + +Sara and Tom ran to their castle. They tried to move it away from the water. But it was too heavy and too big. + +"Help us, Mom!" Sara shouted. "The water will ruin our castle!" + +Mom came to help them. She saw the water was very near their castle. She had an idea. + +"Let's make a wall of sand around your castle. Maybe that will stop the water." + +Sara and Tom liked Mom's idea. They worked together to make a wall of sand. They hoped it would save their castle. + +But the water was too strong. It broke the wall of sand. It reached their castle. It washed away their shells and sticks. It made their castle crumble. + +Sara and Tom were very sad. They watched their castle disappear. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I'm sorry, Tom." Mom said. "The tide was too high. We couldn't stop it." + +Sara and Tom hugged Mom. They cried a little. + +"It's okay, Mom." Sara said. "We had fun making our castle. We can make another one another day." + +"Yeah, Mom." Tom said. "We still have our picture. And we still have each other." + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She was proud of them. They were very thoughtful. They understood that some things don't last. But some things do. +Lila and Ravi were friends who liked to play in the temple. The temple was a big and old house with many rooms and statues. Sometimes they would pretend to be kings and queens, or warriors and priests. They had a lot of fun in the temple. + +One day, Lila saw a shiny necklace on one of the statues. She wanted to wear it and look pretty. She said to Ravi, "Can I borrow this necklace? I will give it back later." Ravi was not sure. He said, "I don't think we should touch the necklace. It belongs to the statue. Maybe it is a gift from the gods. They might get angry if we take it." + +But Lila did not listen. She said, "Don't be fearful, Ravi. It is just a necklace. The gods won't mind. Come on, let's go and play." She took the necklace and put it around her neck. She felt very happy and proud. She ran out of the temple with Ravi. + +As they were playing outside, a big storm came. The sky became dark and the wind blew hard. The rain poured down and the thunder roared. Lila and Ravi were scared. They ran back to the temple to find shelter. But when they reached the door, they saw that it was locked. They could not get in. + +They knocked and shouted, but no one answered. They looked around and saw that the necklace was gone. Lila had lost it in the storm. She felt very sorry and sad. She said to Ravi, "Oh, Ravi, I made a big mistake. I should not have borrowed the necklace. It was wrong and greedy. Now the gods are angry with us. They locked the temple and took the necklace back. What can we do?" + +Ravi hugged Lila and said, "Don't cry, Lila. Maybe the gods will forgive us if we say sorry. Let's pray and ask them to open the door and let us in. And let's promise to never borrow anything from the temple again. Maybe they will hear us and help us." + +Lila and Ravi prayed and asked the gods to forgive them and open the door. They said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They waited and hoped. After a while, the storm stopped and the sun came out. The door of the temple opened and a kind old man came out. He said, "Hello, children. I am the keeper of the temple. I heard your prayers and I saw your tears. I am glad you realized your mistake and said sorry. The gods are merciful and they want you to be happy. Here is the necklace. You can keep it as a gift. But remember, it is more precious to be honest and respectful than to be pretty and proud. Now come in and have some tea and cookies. You must be hungry and cold." + +Lila and Ravi thanked the old man and the gods. They went inside the temple and had some tea and cookies. They felt warm and safe. They looked at the necklace and decided to share it. They said to each other, "We are lucky to have such a good friend. And we are lucky to have such a good temple. We will never borrow anything from the temple again. We will always be honest and respectful." And they smiled and hugged. +Lisa and Ben are twins. They like to play together in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big bathrobe that is soft and warm. They use it to make a tent or a cape or a blanket. + +One day, it is very cold outside. The wind is loud and the snow is white. Lisa and Ben do not want to go out. They want to stay in their room and play. They put on the bathrobe and pretend they are in a cozy cave. + +"Ben, I am hungry," Lisa says. "Can we have some snack?" + +"OK, Lisa. I will provide some snack for us. You stay here and guard the cave," Ben says. He takes off the bathrobe and goes to the kitchen. He finds some crackers and cheese and juice. He puts them on a tray and carries them back to the room. + +"Look, Lisa. I have snack for us. Let's eat and drink," Ben says. He puts the tray on the floor and covers them with the bathrobe. He and Lisa crawl under the bathrobe and enjoy their snack. + +They are happy and warm. They do not mind the cold outside. They have each other and the bathrobe. They have a mild and fun day. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks in the garden. They make a big tower with red and blue blocks. Sara likes the tower. She says, "Look, Ben, our tower is lovely. It is very tall and strong." + +Ben nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, Sara, our tower is lovely. We are good at making towers. Do you want to make another one?" + +Sara says, "Yes, Ben, I want to make another one. Let's use the yellow and green blocks. They are bright and pretty." + +They start to make another tower with yellow and green blocks. They are having fun. + +But then, Lily comes to the garden. She sees the towers and wants to play too. She says, "Hello, Sara and Ben. Can I join you? I like your towers. They are lovely." + +Sara and Ben look at Lily. They do not know her very well. She is new in the neighborhood. They are not sure if they want to share their blocks with her. + +Sara says, "No, Lily, you cannot join us. These are our blocks. They are mine and Ben's. You have to find your own blocks." + +Ben says, "Yes, Lily, you cannot join us. These are our towers. They are mine and Sara's. You have to make your own towers." + +Lily feels sad and hurt. She says, "But I don't have any blocks. I just moved here. I don't have any friends. I just want to play with you. Please, can I join you?" + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They see that Lily is crying. They feel sorry for her. They remember that they were once new too. They remember that they like to make new friends. + +Sara says, "Sorry, Lily, we were not nice to you. You can join us. You can play with our blocks. You can help us make towers." + +Ben says, "Yes, Lily, we are sorry. You can join us. You can play with our towers. You can make them more lovely." + +Lily smiles and wipes her tears. She says, "Thank you, Sara and Ben. You are very kind. I am happy to join you. I am sure we will make lovely towers together." + +Sara and Ben smile too. They say, "You are welcome, Lily. We are happy to have you. We are sure we will have fun together." + +They give Lily some blocks and show her how to stack them. They make a new tower with all the colors. They laugh and talk and share. They become friends. They have a lovely time. +Tom and Mia like to play in the woods. They have a big tent and a bow and arrow. They pretend to be hunters and explorers. One day, they see a big deer. Tom wants to shoot it with his arrow. He thinks it will be fun. + +But Mia is wise. She knows that deer are nice animals. They do not hurt anyone. They only eat grass and leaves. She does not want to hurt the deer. She tells Tom to stop. She says, "No, Tom, do not shoot the deer. It is not a game. It is real. The deer will feel pain. It will be sad. We do not want to make the deer sad." + +Tom listens to Mia. He is a good brother. He puts down his bow and arrow. He notices that the deer has big brown eyes and soft fur. He thinks it is beautiful. He says, "You are right, Mia. The deer is not a game. It is real. It is a friend. We do not want to hurt our friend. We want to be kind." + +The deer hears Tom and Mia. It is not afraid anymore. It comes closer to them. It lets them touch its fur. It licks their hands. It thanks them for being kind. Tom and Mia are happy. They have a new friend. They play with the deer in the woods. They have a lot of fun. They are wise and kind. +Anna and Ben were adventurous kids. They liked to play pretend in the backyard. They had a big box that they used as a spaceship. They also had a toy pistol that made a loud noise when they pressed the trigger. + +One day, they decided to go on a mission to the moon. They put on their helmets and climbed into the box. Ben was the pilot and Anna was the co-pilot. They counted down from ten and then shouted, "Blast off!" + +They pretended to fly through the sky and dodge asteroids and aliens. They had a lot of fun making noises and using their imagination. After a while, they reached the moon. They opened the box and stepped out. They saw a lot of rocks and dust. They also saw a flag that someone had planted there. + +"Wow, look at that!" Anna said. "Someone was here before us!" + +"Maybe it was an astronaut," Ben said. "Or maybe it was a bad guy." + +They decided to explore the moon and look for clues. They walked around and picked up some rocks. They also saw some footprints and a hole. + +"Hey, what's that?" Ben said, pointing to the hole. "Let's check it out." + +They ran to the hole and looked inside. They saw a shiny object that looked like a pistol. Ben reached for it, but Anna stopped him. + +"Wait, Ben, don't touch it!" Anna said. "It might be dangerous!" + +Ben looked at her and then at the object. He realized that it was not a toy, but a real pistol. He felt scared and curious at the same time. + +"Who left it here?" he wondered. "And why?" + +He wanted to find out, but he also wanted to be safe. He decided to listen to Anna and leave it alone. + +"Maybe we should go back to our spaceship," he said. "This place is too spooky." + +Anna agreed. They ran back to their box and closed the lid. They pretended to fly back to Earth and land safely. They were glad to be home and to have each other. + +They told their mom about their adventure and showed her the rocks they had found. She praised them for being brave and creative. She also told them to never touch a real pistol, because it could hurt them or someone else. + +Anna and Ben nodded and hugged their mom. They learned something new and had a lot of fun. They wondered what they would play next. +Mia and Leo were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But soon they got bored and wanted to do something else. + +"Let's go to the kitchen and help Mommy," Mia said. "She is putting things in the dishwasher." + +"Okay," Leo agreed. "Maybe we can fit some of our toys in there too." + +They ran to the kitchen and saw Mommy loading the dishwasher with plates and cups. She smiled when she saw them. + +"Hi, kids. Do you want to help me?" she asked. + +"Yes, please," Mia and Leo said. They picked up some of their toys and tried to fit them in the dishwasher. But they were too big or too small or too weird. + +"No, no, no," Mommy said. "The dishwasher is only for things that are dirty and need to be washed. Your toys are not dirty and they might get broken in there. Put them back in the living room, please." + +Mia and Leo felt sad. They wanted to help Mommy and have fun with the dishwasher. They did not understand why their toys could not fit in there. + +"Sorry, Mommy," they said. They took their toys and went back to the living room. + +Mommy finished loading the dishwasher and turned it on. She heard a loud noise and saw water and bubbles coming out of it. She gasped and ran to the dishwasher. She opened it and saw what was wrong. + +"Oh, no!" she exclaimed. "Who put this in here?" + +She pulled out a big, fluffy teddy bear that was soaking wet and covered in soap. It was Leo's favorite toy. He had sneaked it in the dishwasher when Mommy was not looking. He thought it would fit and be happy in there. + +Mommy was angry and worried. She took the teddy bear and tried to dry it with a towel. She hoped it would not be ruined. + +She called Mia and Leo and showed them the teddy bear. + +"Look what you did, Leo," she said. "You put your teddy bear in the dishwasher and now it is all wet and messy. Why did you do that?" + +Leo felt sorry and scared. He did not mean to hurt his teddy bear. He just wanted to play with it and the dishwasher. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy," he said. "I love my teddy bear. I thought it would fit and be happy in there. I did not know it would be bad." + +Mommy sighed and hugged him. + +"I know, Leo," she said. "But you have to be careful with your toys and listen to me. The dishwasher is not a toy. It is a machine that can be dangerous and damage things. You have to ask me before you put anything in there, okay?" + +"Okay, Mommy," Leo said. He hugged his teddy bear and hoped it would be okay. + +Mommy looked at Mia and Leo. They looked sleepy and tired. They had played a lot and learned a lesson. + +"Come on, kids," she said. "It's time for bed. Let's go to your room and read a story." + +"Okay, Mommy," Mia and Leo said. They followed Mommy to their room and got ready for bed. They snuggled with their toys and listened to Mommy's voice. They felt happy and safe. + +They soon fell asleep and dreamed of their toys and the dishwasher. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tim had a big truck and Lily had a soft doll. They were having fun until Tim saw Lily's doll and wanted it. + +"Give me your doll!" Tim said to Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said, holding her doll tight. + +Tim got angry and grabbed the doll from Lily. Lily tried to get it back, but Tim was stronger. He pulled the doll's arm and bit it hard. The doll made a loud squeak and Lily cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" the doll said. "That hurts!" + +Tim was surprised and scared. He dropped the doll and looked at it. The doll had a gray mark on its arm where Tim bit it. The doll looked sad and hurt. + +Tim felt guilty. He knew he did a bad thing. He looked at Lily, who was still crying and rubbing her doll's arm. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tim said. "I'm sorry, doll. I didn't mean to bite you. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily sniffed and wiped her tears. She looked at Tim and saw that he was sorry. She looked at her doll and saw that it was still squeaking. + +"It's okay, Tim," Lily said. "But you have to be nice to my doll. She is my friend. And you have to share your toys with me. We are friends, too." + +Tim nodded and hugged Lily. He gave her back her doll and took his truck. He said sorry to the doll, too, and kissed its arm. + +"Thank you, Tim," the doll said. "You are a good boy. And thank you, Lily. You are a good girl. Can we all play together?" + +Tim and Lily smiled and agreed. They played with their toys and with the doll. They were happy and forgot about the bite. +Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play games. One day, they play a game of surprise. They hide in different places and try to scare each other. + +Sam hides behind the sofa. He waits for Mia to come. He hears her footsteps. He jumps out and says, "Surprise!" Mia screams and laughs. She says, "You got me, Sam!" + +Mia hides under the bed. She waits for Sam to come. She sees his shadow. She crawls out and says, "Surprise!" Sam jumps and laughs. He says, "You got me, Mia!" + +They play some more. They have fun. They do not see the cop outside. The cop is their dad. He comes home from work. He wants to surprise them too. + +He opens the door. He says, "Surprise!" Sam and Mia run to him. They hug him. They say, "Daddy!" The cop smiles. He says, "I missed you, kids!" + +They tell him about their game. He says, "That sounds like a fun game. Can I play too?" They say, "Yes, daddy!" They hide again. The cop looks for them. He finds them. He says, "Surprise!" They say, "Surprise!" They laugh together. + +They have a normal day. They are happy. They love each other. They like surprises. +Lily and Max are best friends. They like to play in the park after school. They run, jump, slide and swing. They are very playful and happy. + +One day, they see a big box of crayons on a bench. They are curious and excited. They pick up the crayons and look at the colors. They see red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. + +"Let's draw something with the crayons!" Lily says. + +"OK, what should we draw?" Max asks. + +"How about a sunset?" Lily suggests. "A sunset is when the sky is very pretty and colorful." + +"Good idea!" Max agrees. "But how do we draw a sunset?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. Then she says, "We can add the colors together. We can start with red and orange at the bottom, then yellow and green in the middle, then blue and purple at the top.

She says, "Tom and Tim, you are very naughty. You did not listen to me. You made a lot of noise and mess. You are driving me crazy. Now, shut the door and clean up your room.

She tries to pull the pen, but nothing happens. + +"Maybe we need to press it," Ben says. He presses the pen, and suddenly a jet of ink shoots out of it.

It has pink skin and a curly tail. Tom and Lily want to play with the light pig. + +"Hello, light pig. Can we play with you?" Tom asks. + +The light pig looks at Tom and Lily. It snorts and wags its tail. It seems happy. + +"Yes, you can play with me. I like to run and roll in the mud. Do you want to join me?" the light pig says. + +Tom and Lily nod. They run and roll in the mud with the light pig. They have a lot of fun. They laugh and squeal. + +The farmer sees them. He smiles and shakes his head. He says, "You are very dirty, but you look very happy. Come on, let's wash you up and give you some snacks." + +Tom, Lily and the light pig follow the farmer. They wash up and eat some snacks. They thank the farmer and the light pig. They hug and say goodbye. + +They promise to come back and play with the light pig again. They are very good friends. +Sara likes to help her mom bake cookies. She likes to mix the flour, the sugar, and the eggs in a big bowl. She likes to roll the dough and cut out shapes with the cookie cutters. She likes to put the cookies on a tray and watch them in the oven. + +But Sara is clumsy. She sometimes spills the flour on the floor. She sometimes breaks the eggs on the table. She sometimes drops the cookies on the way to the oven. Her mom is not mad, but she tells Sara to be careful. + +One day, Sara wants to surprise her mom with a special cookie. She finds a can of powder in the cupboard. She thinks it is sugar. She shakes the can and sprinkles the powder on a cookie. She puts the cookie on a plate and hides it under a napkin. + +She waits for her mom to come home. She is very excited. She runs to her mom and gives her a hug. She says, "Mom, I made you a special cookie. It is under the napkin. Try it!" + +Her mom smiles and lifts the napkin. She sees the cookie with the powder on top. She thinks it is sugar too. She takes a bite and chews. But then she makes a funny face. She spits out the cookie and coughs. She says, "Sara, what is this? This is not sugar. This is salt!" + +Sara is shocked. She looks at the can. She sees the word "salt" on the label. She did not know that word. She feels bad. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I thought it was sugar. I wanted to make you a special cookie. I was clumsy." + +Her mom hugs her and says, "It's okay, Sara. I know you meant well. You are not clumsy. You are just learning. Next time, ask me before you use something from the cupboard. And thank you for trying to make me a special cookie. I love you." + +Sara smiles and says, "I love you too, mom. Can we bake some more cookies together?" + +Her mom says, "Of course we can. But let's use sugar this time, okay?" + +They laugh and go to the kitchen. They bake some more cookies and eat them with milk. They are happy. +One day, a jolly boy named Ben went to the park with his mom. He liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. He also liked to make new friends with other kids. + +He saw a girl sitting on a bench with a ball. She looked sad and lonely. Ben wanted to cheer her up, so he walked over to her and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with me?" + +The girl looked up and smiled. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. I would love to play with you, but I don't have anyone to pass the ball with." + +Ben said, "I can pass the ball with you. Come on, let's go to the grass and have some fun." + +Lily and Ben ran to the grass and started to pass the ball to each other. They laughed and shouted as they threw and caught the ball. They had a great time together. + +Soon, it was time to go home. Ben and Lily hugged and said goodbye. They promised to see each other again at the park. + +Ben's mom was very proud of him. She said, "You are a very kind and friendly boy, Ben. You made Lily happy and you made a new friend. That was a very nice surprise for her and for me." + +Ben felt happy and warm inside. He learned that sharing and caring can make anyone jolly. He said, "Thank you, mom. I like to surprise people with kindness. It makes me jolly too." +Sara and Ben were twins who loved to play outside. They liked to go to the lake with their mom and dad and swim and splash in the water. One day, they saw a beautiful kayak on the shore. It was red and shiny and had a paddle inside. + +"Wow, look at that kayak!" Sara said. "Can we try it, mom?" + +"I don't know, sweetie," mom said. "It belongs to someone else. Maybe they left it here for a while and will come back soon." + +"Please, mom, just for a little bit," Ben said. "We will be careful and not go far." + +Mom looked around and did not see anyone. She thought it would be okay to let the twins have some fun with the kayak. She said, "Okay, but only for a few minutes. And you have to wear these life jackets and stay close to the shore. And don't forget to put the kayak back where you found it when you are done." + +Sara and Ben were very happy. They put on the life jackets and climbed into the kayak. They took turns using the paddle and gliding on the water. They felt like they were on an adventure. They saw fish and ducks and frogs. They laughed and sang and had a great time. + +But they did not notice that the time was passing. They did not see that the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark. They did not hear their mom calling them to come back. They were having too much fun. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. It was a man who was standing on the shore. He looked angry and scared. He said, "Hey, you kids! What are you doing with my kayak? That's mine! I left it here to store it for the night. Give it back to me right now!" + +Sara and Ben were shocked and scared. They realized they had made a big mistake. They had taken something that was not theirs. They had not listened to their mom. They had not been respectful of other people's things. They felt very sorry. + +They quickly paddled back to the shore and got out of the kayak. They said, "We are so sorry, sir. We did not know it was yours. We just wanted to try it. It is a beautiful kayak. We are very sorry." + +The man was still angry, but he saw that the twins were sincere and remorseful. He said, "Well, I'm glad you are sorry, but you should not have taken my kayak without asking. That is not nice. That is stealing. How would you feel if someone took your toys or your bike without asking?" + +Sara and Ben said, "We would feel sad and mad. We would not like that at all." + +The man said, "Exactly. So you should always ask before you use something that is not yours. And you should always listen to your mom. She knows what is best for you. And you should always be careful on the water. It can be dangerous." + +Sara and Ben said, "You are right, sir. We have learned our lesson. We will never do that again. We are very sorry." + +The man said, "Okay, I accept your apology. But you have to promise me that you will be more careful and respectful from now on. And you have to apologize to your mom too. She was very worried about you." + +Sara and Ben said, "We promise, sir. And we will apologize to our mom. Thank you for being kind to us." + +The man said, "You're welcome. Now go and hug your mom and tell her you love her. And be good kids." + +Sara and Ben ran to their mom and hugged her. They said, "Mom, we are so sorry. We took the man's kayak without asking. We did not listen to you. We were not careful. We are very sorry. We love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, my darlings. I'm glad you are safe and sorry. But you have to be more careful and respectful from now on. You have to ask before you use something that is not yours. You have to listen to me. You have to be careful on the water. You have to be good kids." + +Sara and Ben said, "We will, mom. We will be good kids. We have learned our lesson." + +Mom said, "I'm proud of you for learning your lesson. Now let's go home and have some dinner. And maybe tomorrow we can come back to the lake and rent a kayak of our own. How does that sound?" + +Sara and Ben said, "That sounds great, mom. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, my darlings. Let's go home." +Tom and Sue were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom asked them to make a cake for dad's birthday. She gave them a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some milk. She told them to mix everything well and put it in a pan. + +Tom and Sue took turns to pour and stir the ingredients. They were having fun, but they also wanted to make the cake fast. They did not notice that they had put too many eggs in the bowl. The batter was very runny and sticky. + +"Let's put it in the oven now," Tom said. + +"OK," Sue agreed. + +They carried the pan to the oven and opened the door. But as they tried to slide the pan inside, they lost their balance and the pan slipped from their hands. The batter splashed all over the oven and the floor. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Sue cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and sighed. + +"What did you do, kids?" she asked. + +"We wanted to make a cake for dad, but we split the batter," Tom said. + +"We're sorry, mom," Sue said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. + +"It's OK, I know you tried your best. But next time, you have to be more careful and follow the recipe. The oven is not reliable if you put too much stuff in it. It can get too hot and burn the cake. Come on, let's clean up and start over. We still have time to make a nice cake for dad." +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a twisty slide. They wanted to go on it. + +"Let's go on the twisty slide!" Lila said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They ran up the hill and waited for their turn. They saw a fat boy in front of them. He was wearing a red coat and a blue hat. He looked mean. + +"Move, move, move!" the fat boy said. He pushed Lila and Ben aside. He went on the slide first. + +"That's not nice!" Lila said. + +"No, it's not!" Ben said. + +They watched the fat boy slide down. He went very fast. He screamed and laughed. He did not see the mist at the end of the slide. The mist was wet and cold. It made the slide slippery. + +The fat boy slid off the slide. He landed on the grass. He was wet and dirty. He cried and ran away. + +Lila and Ben looked at each other. They smiled. + +"Let's go on the twisty slide!" Lila said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They went on the slide. They had fun. They did not mind the mist. They liked the twisty slide. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to share their snacks and toys. + +One day, it was very hot. Lily and Tom were thirsty and tired. They sat under a big tree and drank some water. Lily had a banana and Tom had a cookie. They gave each other a bite. + +"Your cookie is yummy," Lily said. + +"Your banana is sweet," Tom said. + +They smiled and looked at each other. They felt happy and warm. They leaned closer and gave each other a kiss on the cheek. + +"Kiss, kiss," they said. + +They giggled and hugged. They did not see that Lily's mom and Tom's dad were watching them. They smiled and waved. + +"Look, they are so cute," Lily's mom said. + +"They are indeed," Tom's dad said. + +They walked over to the tree and said hello to the kids. + +"Are you ready to go home?" Lily's mom asked. + +"Yes, we are," Lily and Tom said. + +They packed their snacks and toys and said goodbye to each other. + +"See you tomorrow," Lily said. + +"See you tomorrow," Tom said. + +They gave each other another kiss and went with their parents. They looked back and waved. + +They left the park, but they did not leave their friendship. +Sara loves fashion. She likes to wear nice dresses and shoes and hats. She likes to look at magazines and see what other people wear. She wants to be a fashion star. + +One day, Sara goes to school with a new dress. It is pink and has flowers and sparkles. She thinks it is the most beautiful dress ever. She wants to show it to her friends and teacher. She walks into the classroom with a big smile. + +But then, something bad happens. A boy named Tom laughs at her dress. He says it is silly and ugly. He says it looks like a clown costume. He says she does not know fashion. He says she should wear something else. + +Sara feels very sad and angry. She feels embarrass. She does not like Tom. She does not like what he says. She wants to cry. She says to Tom, "You are mean. You are rude. You do not know fashion. You do not know anything. My dress is nice. I like it. You are the one who looks silly and ugly." + +The other kids hear Sara and Tom. They come to see what is going on. Some of them agree with Sara. They say her dress is nice and Tom is mean. Some of them agree with Tom. They say her dress is silly and Tom is funny. Some of them do not care. They say it is just a dress and it does not matter. + +The teacher hears the noise. She comes to see what is going on. She sees Sara and Tom and the other kids. She sees the dress and the laughter and the tears. She says, "Stop it. Stop it right now. This is not nice. This is not how we treat each other. We do not make fun of people's clothes. We do not hurt people's feelings. We do not fight over fashion. We respect each other. We are kind to each other. We are friends." + +She makes Sara and Tom and the other kids sit down and talk. She makes them say sorry to each other. She makes them say something nice about each other. She makes them hug and shake hands. She makes them smile and laugh. + +Sara feels better. She does not feel embarrass anymore. She does not care what Tom or anyone else thinks. She likes her dress. She likes herself. She likes her friends. She likes her teacher. She likes fashion. She is a fashion star. +Lily liked to play with her tea set. She had a pink cup, a blue cup, a yellow cup and a green cup. She also had a pot, a tray and some cookies. She invited her teddy bear, her doll and her bunny to have tea with her. She poured some water from the pot into each cup and gave them to her friends. + +"Here you go, teddy. This is your blue cup. And here you go, doll. This is your pink cup. And here you go, bunny. This is your yellow cup. And this is my green cup. Let's have some tea and cookies," she said. + +She took a sip from her green cup and pretended it was hot. She nibbled on a cookie and smiled. She looked at her friends and saw that they were enjoying their tea too. She was very happy. + +But then she heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was her brother, Tom. He was hungry and he wanted a snack. He saw Lily's tea set on the floor and he wanted to play with it too. He grabbed the pot and the tray and ran away. + +"Hey, that's mine! Give it back!" Lily shouted. She got up and chased after him. + +Tom ran into the living room and tripped over a toy car. He dropped the pot and the tray and they broke into pieces. He heard Lily coming and he was scared. He hid behind the sofa. + +Lily saw the broken pot and tray and she was very sad. She also saw that Tom had taken her green cup. She was very angry. She looked for Tom and found him behind the sofa. + +"Tom, you are very bad! You broke my pot and tray and you took my cup! You have to return it to me now!" she said. + +Tom looked at Lily and he was troubled. He knew he had done something wrong. He was sorry. He gave the green cup back to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break your things. I just wanted to play with you. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at the green cup and she was glad. She still liked her cup. She looked at Tom and she saw that he was sorry. She decided to forgive him. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to be more careful next time. And you have to ask me before you take my things. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and said, "I understand, Lily. Thank you for forgiving me. Can I play with you now?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you can play with me. But you have to use the yellow cup. That's bunny's cup. And you have to be nice to my friends. Do you agree?" + +Tom agreed and said, "I agree, Lily. I will use the yellow cup and I will be nice to your friends. Let's have some tea and cookies." + +Lily and Tom hugged and went back to the tea party. They shared the water, the cookies and the cups. They had fun and they were happy. +Tom was a boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but he did not like to share them with others. He always said, "These are my toys, go away!" He did not have any friends at school or at home. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom. He saw a group of kids playing with a ball. They looked happy and fun. Tom wanted to join them, but he was afraid they would not like him. He did not know how to say hello or ask to play. He felt lonely. + +He saw a seat near the group. He thought, maybe if I sit there, they will notice me and invite me to play. He walked to the seat and sat down. He waited and waited, but no one came to talk to him. He felt more lonely. + +He looked at his toys in his bag. He thought, maybe if I show them my toys, they will like me and want to play with me. He took out his toys and put them on the seat. He hoped someone would come and see them. He waited and waited, but no one came to look at them. He felt even more lonely. + +He saw a girl walking by. She had a doll in her hand. She looked sad and shy. She saw Tom and his toys. She smiled and said, "Hi, I like your toys. Can I play with you?" Tom felt surprised and happy. He said, "Yes, you can play with me. What is your name?" She said, "My name is Anna. What is yours?" He said, "My name is Tom. Do you want to sit with me?" She said, "Yes, I do. Thank you for being nice to me." They sat together and played with the toys. They laughed and talked. They became friends. + +Tom learned that sharing his toys and being kind to others made him happy and not lonely. He also learned that saying hello and asking to play was not hard or scary. He decided to do that more often. He was glad he met Anna. He was not lonely anymore. He was happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big toy car in the park. It is red and shiny. Tom and Mia want to play with it. + +"Can I drive the car?" Tom asks. + +"No, I want to drive it!" Mia says. + +They both pull the car. They are angry. The car breaks. A piece of the car hurts Tom's hand. He cries. + +"Look what you did!" Mia says. "You broke the car!" + +"No, you broke it!" Tom says. "You hurt me!" + +They refuse to say sorry. They refuse to share. They refuse to be friends. + +A lady sees them. She is the owner of the car. She is sad. + +"Who broke my car?" she asks. + +Tom and Mia are quiet. They are scared. + +"Did you break my car?" she asks again. + +Tom and Mia nod. They feel bad. + +"I'm sorry," Tom says. + +"I'm sorry, too," Mia says. + +The lady smiles. She is kind. + +"It's okay," she says. "I can fix the car. But you have to learn to share and be nice. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom and Mia nod. They are happy. + +They hug and say sorry. They play with the lady and the car. They are friends again. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with paper. They can make many things with paper. They can fold paper into animals, or cut paper into shapes, or draw on paper with crayons. + +One day, Tom and Anna find a big box of paper in the closet. They are very happy. They take the paper out and spread it on the floor. They start to make paper things. + +"Look, Anna, I made a paper hat!" Tom says. He puts the hat on his head. "I am a king!" + +"Wow, Tom, that is a nice hat!" Anna says. She makes a paper crown. "I am a queen!" + +They pretend to be king and queen. They have fun. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is calling them. + +"Tom, Anna, it is time for lunch!" Mom says. "Come to the kitchen!" + +Tom and Anna listen to Mom. They stop playing. They pick up the paper things. They put them back in the box. + +"Can we play with paper later, Mom?" Tom asks. + +"Of course, you can, Tom," Mom says. "Paper is very useful. You can make many things with paper. But now, you need to eat. Paper is not food!" + +Tom and Anna laugh. They go to the kitchen. They wash their hands. They sit at the table. They eat their lunch. They thank Mom. + +They are good children. They like to play with paper. They also like to listen to Mom. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They are in their room. They have many toys, but they are bored. They do not want to play with their toys. They want to do something fun. + +They see a big carpet on the floor. It is soft and colorful. They have an idea. They roll up the carpet and make it into a hill. They climb on the hill and pretend it is a mountain. They are happy. + +But then they have another idea. They want to throw things from the hill. They find some balls, some books, some cups, and some clothes. They throw them at the wall, at the door, at the window, and at each other. They laugh and shout. They do not care if they make a mess. + +Mom is in the kitchen. She hears the noise. She is angry. She goes to their room. She sees the mess. She sees the broken window. She sees the carpet hill. She is very angry. She yells at Tom and Sam. She tells them to clean up the mess. She tells them they are naughty. She tells them they cannot play with the carpet anymore. She takes away the carpet and their toys. She sends them to bed. They are sad. + +Tom and Sam are in their bed. They are not bored anymore. They are sorry. They wish they did not throw things. They wish they did not ruin the carpet. They wish they listened to Mom. They cry. They have a bad ending. +Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big box that they filled with shiny things and hid under a tree. + +"Arr, matey, we need to guard our loot from the other pirates," Ben said, holding a stick like a sword. + +"Arr, aye, captain, we are the best pirates ever," Lily said, wearing a hat with a feather. + +They heard a loud noise from the house. They saw smoke and fire coming out of the kitchen window. + +"Oh no, what's that?" Lily asked, scared. + +"Fire, fire, fire!" Ben shouted. "We need to get help!" + +They ran to the house and saw their mom and dad trying to put out the fire with water and a blanket. The fire alarm was beeping and the smell was bad. + +"Mom, dad, are you okay?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, we're okay, don't worry," their mom said. "We were making a tasty cake for your birthday, but we forgot to shut the oven and it burned." + +"I'm sorry, mom, dad, we didn't know," Lily said. + +"It's okay, sweetie, it was an accident," their dad said. "The fire is out now, but the cake is ruined." + +They hugged their mom and dad and said they were sorry. Their mom and dad said they loved them and they were glad they were safe. + +"Maybe we can make another cake later," their mom said. + +"Or we can buy one from the store," their dad said. + +"Or we can eat our pirate treasure," Ben said, smiling. + +They all laughed and went to the yard to get their box. They opened it and saw that it was full of candy, cookies, and chocolate. + +"Wow, this is the best treasure ever," Lily said. + +"Arr, happy birthday, matey," Ben said, giving Lily a hug. + +They shared their treasure with their mom and dad and had a fun and tasty party.

It has many windows and doors. It is white and gold. + +They want to look at the palace. They walk closer. They see a lady. She is wearing a long dress. She has a crown on her head. She is the queen. She smiles at them. She is compassionate. She likes children. + +She says, "Hello, Anna and Ben. Do you want to see my palace?" They nod. They are happy. She takes them by the hand. She shows them the palace. They see many rooms. They see paintings and flowers. They see a big garden. They see a pond with ducks. + +They have fun. They thank the queen. She gives them a hug. She says, "You are welcome, Anna and Ben. Come back anytime. You are my friends." They wave goodbye. They go back to the park. They tell their parents about the palace. They are very excited. They want to go again. +Tom was a curious boy. He liked to learn new things and ask many questions. He wanted to improve his skills and have fun. + +One day, he saw a big bike in the park. He had a small bike at home, but he wanted to try the big bike. He asked his mom if he could ride it. His mom said yes, but he had to be careful and wear a helmet. + +Tom put on the helmet and climbed on the big bike. He felt excited and nervous. He pushed the pedals and started to move. He wobbled a bit, but he did not fall. He smiled and went faster. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. + +He rode around the park, following the path. He saw flowers, trees, birds, and people. He waved to them and said hello. He enjoyed the ride and felt happy. + +He came back to his mom and gave her a hug.

They see a big pond with many ducks. Lily likes the ducks. She has some bread in her bag. She wants to feed the ducks. + +"Can we feed the ducks, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. It is deep and cold," Ben says. + +Lily and Ben sit on a bench near the pond. They break the bread into small pieces. They throw the pieces to the ducks. The ducks come closer. They quack and swim. They eat the bread. + +Lily sees an old duck. It has white feathers and a blue band on its leg. It looks sad. It does not eat the bread. It stays away from the other ducks. + +"Why is that duck sad, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is lonely. Maybe it is sick. Maybe it is tired," Ben says. + +Lily feels sorry for the old duck. She wants to help it. She takes a big piece of bread. She walks to the edge of the pond. She holds the bread in her hand. She calls the old duck. + +"Here, duck. Come here. I have some bread for you. Don't be sad," Lily says. + +The old duck hears Lily. It looks at her. It sees the bread. It swims slowly to her. It reaches her hand. It takes the bread. It eats the bread. + +Lily smiles. She strokes the old duck's head. She feels the band on its leg. She reads the words on the band. It says: "Release me. I belong to the wild." + +Lily is surprised. She does not understand. She shows the band to Ben. + +"Ben, look. What does this mean?" Lily asks. + +Ben reads the band. He understands. He explains to Lily. + +"This duck is not a park duck. It is a wild duck. Someone caught it and put this band on it. They wanted to study it. But they forgot to release it. They left it here. It is not happy here. It wants to go back to the wild," Ben says. + +Lily feels sad. She likes the old duck. But she wants it to be happy. She wants it to go back to the wild. + +"Can we release it, Ben? Can we help it go back to the wild?" Lily asks. + +Ben thinks. He nods. + +"Yes, we can. But we have to be careful. We have to find a safe place for it. We have to make sure no one sees us," Ben says. + +Lily and Ben look around. They see a bridge over the pond. They see a path that leads to the woods. They have an idea. + +They pick up the old duck. They carry it to the bridge. They look for a spot where the water is calm and clear. They see some reeds and lilies. They see some other wild ducks. + +They put the old duck down. They take off the band from its leg. They say goodbye to the old duck. + +"Goodbye, duck. We hope you are happy. We hope you find your friends. We hope you have fun in the wild," Lily and Ben say. + +The old duck looks at them. It quacks softly. It seems to say thank you. It flaps its wings. It swims to the reeds and lilies. It joins the other wild ducks. + +Lily and Ben smile. They feel happy. They have done a good thing. They have released the old duck. They have helped it go back to the wild. +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They were very happy. + +But then, Tom saw a zip on the snowman's hat. He wanted to pull it and see what was inside. He said to Lily, "Look, a zip! Let's open it!" + +Lily said, "No, Tom, don't do that! It's not nice to ruin our snowman. He is our friend." + +But Tom was stubborn. He did not listen to Lily. He pulled the zip hard. The hat opened and a lot of snow fell out. The snowman's head fell off and broke. + +Lily was very sad. She cried and said, "Tom, you are mean! You broke our snowman! He was so nice and warm. Now he is cold and gone." + +Tom felt sorry. He saw that he made a big mistake. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was curious. I did not mean to hurt our snowman. Can we fix him?" + +Lily said, "No, Tom, we can't. The snow is melting. He will not be the same. You should have listened to me. You should not be so stubborn." + +Tom learned a lesson. He learned that he should respect his friends and their things. He learned that he should not be so stubborn and curious. He learned that he should say sorry when he does something wrong. + +He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I was wrong. I will not do that again. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily hugged him back and said, "Yes, Tom, we can. But next time, please be more careful and kind. And maybe we can make another snowman when it snows again." + +They smiled and went inside to have some hot chocolate. They were still friends. +Ben and Lily wanted to play on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. But they also wanted to try something new. They saw some big kids with boards. They were riding on the waves. They called it surf. + +"Can we surf too?" Ben asked his mom. + +"Sorry, honey, you are too little to surf. It is not safe for you. You need to learn how to swim first. And you need a special board and a suit. Maybe when you are older, you can surf." Mom said. + +Ben and Lily were sad. They wanted to have fun like the big kids. They looked around and saw a big tire. It was lying on the sand. It had a rope on it. + +"Look, Lily, we can play with the tire. We can twist it and roll it and pretend it is a surf board." Ben said. + +Lily smiled. She liked Ben's idea. They ran to the tire and grabbed the rope. They twisted it and made it spin. They laughed and shouted. They felt the wind on their faces. They took turns to sit on the tire and roll it on the sand. They pretended they were surfing on the waves. + +They had so much fun. They forgot about the big kids and their boards. They made their own amazing surf game. Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy to see them happy. She took a picture of them and their tire. She thought they were the best surfers on the beach. +Tom likes to help his dad in the kitchen. He likes to mix and stir and taste. One day, his dad is making a cake and he asks Tom to help him. He gives Tom a big spoon and a small cup. + +"Tom, this is a measure," his dad says, pointing to the cup. "We use it to put the right amount of flour and sugar and other things in the bowl. Can you explain to me what a measure does?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He remembers that his dad told him that too much or too little of something can make the cake bad. He says, "A measure helps us make the cake good. It tells us how much to put in." + +"Very good, Tom," his dad says, smiling. "You are very smart. Now, let's measure some flour and put it in the bowl. Can you do that?" + +Tom nods and takes the cup. He scoops some flour from the big bag and pours it into the bowl. He does it again and again until his dad says, "That's enough, Tom. Well done. Now, let's measure some sugar." + +Tom likes sugar. He thinks it is sweet and yummy. He measures some sugar and puts it in the bowl. He wants to taste some, but his dad says, "No, Tom. Not now. We have to mix everything first. Then we can taste the cake when it is baked." + +Tom is curious. He asks, "Dad, how do we bake the cake? What makes it hot and soft and brown?" + +His dad says, "We use the oven, Tom. The oven is a big box that makes heat. We put the cake in the oven and the heat makes it change. It is very interesting. Do you want to see?" + +Tom says, "Yes, dad. I want to see. I want to see the cake change." + +His dad says, "Okay, Tom. But first, we have to add some eggs and milk and butter and vanilla. Can you help me with that?" + +Tom says, "Yes, dad. I can help you. I like to help you. I like to make cake with you." +Sara and Ben love to play with their toy trains. They have a big track that goes around the room. They make the trains go fast and slow, and make noises like choo-choo and beep-beep. + +One day, Sara has a new train. It is red and shiny, and has a big smile. Sara is very happy with her new train. She shows it to Ben and says, "Look, Ben, this is my new train. It is the best train ever. Do you want to play with it?" + +Ben likes the new train, too. He wants to play with it, but he is afraid to ask Sara. He thinks Sara might not share. He waits for Sara to look away, and then he takes the new train and puts it on the track. He makes it go very fast, faster than the other trains. + +Sara sees Ben with her new train. She is angry and sad. She runs to Ben and says, "Ben, that is my train! You took it without asking! Give it back to me!" + +Ben does not want to give it back. He likes the new train. He holds it tight and says, "No, Sara, this is my train now. You have too many trains. Go away!" + +Sara and Ben start to fight. They pull and push and shout. The new train falls from Ben's hand and hits the floor. It breaks into pieces. Sara and Ben stop fighting. They look at the broken train. They feel sorry and bad. + +Sara and Ben say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They pick up the pieces of the new train and try to fix it. They say, "We are sorry, new train. We were clumsy and mean. We will be more careful and kind next time." They hope the new train will smile again. +Tim and Jen were twins. They liked to play in the park with their mom and dad. But one day, dad got sick. He had to stay in bed and could not go out. Mom said he had a bad bug in his blood. She said he needed a lot of rest and medicine. + +Tim and Jen were sad. They missed dad a lot. They wanted him to get better and play with them again. They tried to cheer him up with cards and hugs and jokes. But dad did not smile much. He looked weak and tired. He sighed a lot. + +One day, mom took Tim and Jen to the park. She said dad was feeling a little better and wanted them to have some fun. Tim and Jen were happy. They ran and jumped and slid and swung. They saw their friends and played with them. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, mom's phone rang. She looked at it and turned pale. She said, "Oh no." She said, "Kids, we have to go. Now." She said, "It's dad. He's very sick. He needs us." + +Tim and Jen felt a cold fear in their hearts. They did not understand what was happening. They did not want to leave the park. They did not want to see dad sick. They did not want to lose him. They cried and clutched mom's hand. They said, "Please, mom, please. Don't let dad die. Please." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, kids. I'm so sorry. I love you. Dad loves you. We'll be together. We'll be strong. We'll hope for a miracle." + +They got in the car and drove to the hospital. They prayed for dad. They hoped he would be okay. They hoped he would live. They hoped he would play with them again. They hoped for a year of happiness. They hoped for a miracle. +Lily liked to go to the lake with her dad. He was a fisherman and he taught her how to catch fish. Lily had a small rod and a pink bucket. She was happy when she caught a fish and put it in the bucket. + +One day, Lily saw a big fish jump out of the water. She wanted to catch it. She threw her rod as far as she could and waited. She felt a tug and pulled hard. She was excited. She had caught the big fish! + +But the big fish was too strong for Lily. It pulled her rod and dragged her to the edge of the lake. Lily was scared. She screamed for her dad. He heard her and ran to help her. He grabbed her hand and the rod and pulled them back. He was proud of Lily for catching the big fish, but he also told her to be careful. + +Lily was happy that her dad saved her. She hugged him and thanked him. She looked at the big fish in her bucket. It was restless. It moved and splashed. Lily felt sorry for the fish. She decided to let it go. She took it out of the bucket and threw it back into the lake. The fish swam away. Lily waved goodbye to the fish. She was glad that it was free. She and her dad went home. They had a good day at the lake. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big blue bird in a tree. The bird has a shiny body and a long tail. Tom and Sue want to see the bird up close. + +"Let's gather some stones and throw them at the bird," Tom says. "Maybe it will come down and talk to us." + +"No, Tom, that is not nice," Sue says. "The bird will be scared and hurt. We should be gentle and quiet and wait for the bird to come to us." + +But Tom does not listen to Sue. He gathers some stones and throws them at the bird. The bird does not like that. It makes a loud noise and flies away. Tom and Sue follow the bird with their eyes. They see it land on a wire near a big house. + +"Look, there it is!" Tom says. "Let's go and get it!" + +Tom and Sue run to the big house. They do not see the sign that says "Beware of the dog". They do not hear the bark that comes from behind the fence. They only see the blue bird on the wire. They climb over the fence and try to reach the bird. + +But the dog sees them. The dog is angry and hungry. It runs to Tom and Sue and bites them. Tom and Sue scream and cry. The bird flies away again. The owner of the house comes out and sees what happened. He calls for help and scolds Tom and Sue. + +"You should not have come here," he says. "You should not have thrown stones at the bird. You should have listened to your friend. Now you have a big problem. You have to go to the doctor and get a shot. And you have to say sorry to the bird and the dog." + +Tom and Sue are very sorry. They wish they had been nice to the bird. They wish they had been gentle and quiet. They wish they had listened to Sue. They learn a lesson. They will never throw stones at birds again. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a ball on the grass. Sam wants to kick the ball. He runs to the ball and kicks it hard. + +"Wow, Sam, you kick so good!" Ben says. + +"Thank you, Ben. Do you want to kick too?" Sam says. + +"Yes, please!" Ben says. He runs to the ball and kicks it too. The ball flies in the air and lands on a tree. + +"Oh no, the ball is stuck!" Sam says. + +"How can we get it?" Ben says. + +They look at the tree. The tree is big and tall. The tree has no leaves. The tree is dead. They cannot climb the tree. + +"Maybe we can throw something at the ball," Sam says. + +"Good idea, Sam. What can we throw?" Ben says. + +They look around. They see some rocks and sticks and pine cones. They pick them up and throw them at the ball. But they miss. The ball does not move. + +"This is hard," Sam says. + +"Yes, it is," Ben says. + +They try again and again. But they still miss. The ball does not move. + +"I give up," Sam says. + +"Me too," Ben says. + +They sit on the grass and feel sad. They want their ball back. They do not know what to do. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. One day, they found a big red car in the garage. It looked like a real car, but smaller. + +"Wow, look at this car!" Tim said. "It has wheels and doors and lights. Can we play with it?" + +"I don't know," Sam said. "It looks dangerous. Maybe it belongs to Dad. He might get angry if we touch it." + +But Tim was curious. He opened the door and climbed inside. He saw a key in the ignition. He turned it and the car made a loud noise. He pressed a pedal and the car moved forward. + +"Tim, stop!" Sam shouted. "You don't know how to drive. You might hit something or someone. Come out of the car!" + +But Tim did not listen. He liked the feeling of driving. He turned the steering wheel and the car went left and right. He pressed the pedal harder and the car went faster. He did not see the wall in front of him. + +"Tim, watch out!" Sam screamed. "There is a wall! You are going to crash!" + +But it was too late. Tim hit the wall with a big bang. The car stopped and smoke came out of the hood. Tim felt a pain in his head and his chest. He was scared and he started to cry. He tried to open the door, but it was stuck. + +"Help me, Sam!" Tim sobbed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was stupid. I want to get out of the car." + +Sam ran to the car and tried to pull the door. But it was too hard. He saw a liquid dripping from the car. It smelled bad. He remembered what Dad had told him once. It was fuel. Fuel was dangerous. It could catch fire. + +"Tim, don't move!" Sam said. "There is fuel under the car. It might burn. I'm going to get help. Stay calm. I'll be back soon." + +Sam ran to the house and called for Mom and Dad. They came out and saw the car and the wall and the fuel. They were shocked and angry and worried. They called the firemen and the ambulance. They ran to the car and tried to free Tim. + +Tim was still in the car. He was hurt and scared. He saw Mom and Dad and Sam. He saw the firemen and the ambulance. He saw the fuel and the smoke.

They have fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw a huge bin near the fence. It was full of old things. + +"Let's look inside the bin," Tom said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"OK," Lily said. "But be careful. The bin is very big and dirty." + +They climbed on the bin and peeked inside. They saw old clothes, books, toys and cans. They pulled out some things and put them on the ground. + +"Look, I found a hat," Tom said. He put it on his head. It was too big for him and covered his eyes. + +"Look, I found a doll," Lily said. She hugged it. It was very dirty and had no hair. + +They laughed and played with their new things. They did not see the man who owned the bin.

They might be dirty or dangerous." + +"We know, mom, we are sorry," Lily and Tom said. + +Mom hugged them and gave them a kiss. + +"It's OK, my loves, you are safe now," she said. "But next time, let's play with your own toys, OK?" + +"OK, mom," Lily and Tom said. They learned their lesson. They did not want to play with the bin again. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the woods. They followed a trail of stones that led to a big tree. The tree had a hole where they could hide and pretend. + +One day, they saw a big dog on the trail. The dog was black and had sharp teeth. It barked and ran towards them. Tom and Lily were scared. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Tom said. He grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her away from the dog.

She threw a stone at the dog. The dog yelped and backed away. + +Tom and Lily felt safe in the hole. They hugged each other and waited for the dog to leave. + +But the dog did not leave.

But they were afraid of the dog. + +"Maybe we can sneak out when the dog is not looking," Tom said. + +"OK, let's try," Lily said. + +They peeked out of the hole and saw the dog lying on the ground.

She likes to see new things. Tom seats on the floor and puts the microscope on a table. He shows Mia how to use it. He says, "You have to put something on this slide. Then you have to look through this eye. You can turn this knob to make it clear." + +Mia picks up a leaf from the garden. She puts it on the slide. She looks through the eye.

"Who broke our raft?" + +"I don't know," Sam said. "Maybe a big fish or a naughty bird." + +They were very sad and frustrated. They wanted to repair the raft, but they did not have any tools or glue. + +"Maybe we can use some leaves and sticks," Tim said. "We can make a patch and tie it to the hole." + +"OK, let's try," Sam said. They looked around and found some big leaves and long sticks. They worked hard to make a patch and tie it to the raft. + +They lifted the raft and put it in the water. They hoped it would float. But as soon as they got on the raft, the patch came off and the water came in. + +"Help!" Tim and Sam shouted. "We are sinking!" + +They jumped off the raft and swam to the shore. They were wet and cold and angry. + +"This is a bad raft," Tim said. "We need a new one." + +"Or a better patch," Sam said. + +They decided to go home and ask their dad for help. Maybe he could repair the raft for them. They still wanted to play on the water and pretend they were pirates. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a big rocket that could make noises and lights. They liked to pretend they were going to the moon and the stars. + +But their baby brother Sam was sleeping in his crib. Mom had told them not to disturb him, or he would cry and be bad. She had gone to the kitchen to make some snacks. + +Tom and Lily tried to be quiet, but the rocket was too loud. It went beep, beep, boom, boom, and flashed red and blue. Sam woke up and started to cry. + +"Shh, shh, Sam, it's okay, it's just a toy," Lily said, running to the crib. She gave him his teddy bear and tried to calm him down. + +But Sam was not happy. He threw the teddy bear away and kept crying. He wanted Mom. + +"Tom, you are bad! You disturbed Sam with your rocket!" Lily said, angry. She took the rocket from Tom and turned it off. + +"No, I'm not bad! You are bad! You took my rocket!" Tom said, angry too.

It stopped making noises and lights. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Sam crying, Tom and Lily fighting, and the broken rocket. She was not happy. + +"Tom, Lily, what have you done? You disturbed Sam, you broke your rocket, and you fought with each other. That is very bad!" Mom said, stern. She picked up Sam and hugged him. She took Tom and Lily to the couch and made them sit down. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Tom and Lily said, sad. They knew they had been bad. + +Mom sighed. She said, "I know you like to play with your rocket, but you have to be careful and respectful. You have to listen to me when I tell you not to disturb Sam. You have to share your toys and not fight with each other. You have to be good." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "We will be good, Mom. We love you and Sam." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Tom and Lily. And I love your rocket, even if it's broken. Maybe we can fix it later. But now, let's have some snacks and read a story. How about that?" + +Tom and Lily smiled too. They said, "Yes, Mom. That sounds good." + +They followed Mom to the kitchen, holding hands. They left the broken rocket on the floor.

He wanted to keep the red block for his tower. + +Lily felt angry and sad. She decided to pinch Tom hard on his arm. Tom cried out loud and dropped the red block. He pinched Lily back on her cheek. Lily cried louder and threw a block at Tom. Tom threw a block at Lily. They were both very loud and very hurt. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the blocks on the floor and the twins crying and pinching each other. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you! Pinching is not nice. It hurts and makes people sad.

They said sorry and hugged each other. They also picked up the blocks and put them away. Their mom said, "That's better. Now, why don't you take a nap and rest? You will feel better after a nap." + +Tom and Lily agreed. They were tired from fighting and playing. They went to their beds and took a nap. They dreamed of happy things and woke up feeling good.

They like to play in the attic. The attic has many old things and cobwebs. Cobwebs are sticky and gray. They make Tim and Sam sneeze. + +One day, Tim and Sam find a big box. They open the box and see a red cape and a blue mask. Tim says, "I want to be the red cape. The red cape is powerful and fast." Sam says, "No, I want to be the red cape.

She comes to the attic and sees Tim and Sam fighting over the red cape. She sees the cobwebs and the mess. She is not happy. She says, "You two need to share and be nice. The red cape and the blue mask are for both of you. You can take turns and pretend to be heroes. But first, you need to clean up the cobwebs and the old things." + +Tim and Sam feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, brother." They hug and make up. They help Mom clean up the attic. Then they put on the red cape and the blue mask. They run and jump and have fun. They are powerful and happy. +Lily likes to draw. She has many colors and papers. She draws animals and flowers and houses. She is happy when she draws. + +One day, she draws a big image of a bear. She uses brown and black and white. She gives the bear a nose and eyes and ears. She is proud of her image. + +She shows her image to her mom. Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "You are a successful artist, Lily. Your image is very good." + +Lily feels happy. She wants to show her image to her dad. She runs to his office. She sees him working on his computer. She says, "Dad, look at my image!" + +Her dad looks at her. He sees her image. He says, "Wow, Lily, that is a great image of a bear. You are very talented." + +Lily feels happy. She wants to show her image to her dad's computer. She puts her image on the screen. She pokes the screen with her finger. She says, "Look, computer, this is my image!" + +But the computer does not like her image. The computer makes a loud noise. The screen turns black. The computer says, "Error, error, error." + +Lily feels scared. She thinks she broke the computer. She says, "Sorry, computer, sorry, dad." + +Her dad sees what happened. He is not angry. He laughs. He says, "Don't worry, Lily, you did not break the computer. You just poked the wrong button. The computer will be fine." + +He hugs her and kisses her. He says, "I love you, Lily, and I love your image. But next time, please don't poke the computer." + +Lily nods. She says, "OK, dad, I won't poke the computer. I will only poke you." + +She pokes him in the belly. He tickles her. They laugh. They are happy. +Ben and Lily liked to travel with their dad. He had a big car that could go very fast. Sometimes they went to the beach, sometimes they went to the park, and sometimes they went to the cabin. The cabin was in the woods, where there were many trees and animals. + +One day, they went to the cabin for the weekend. Dad said they could play outside, but they had to be careful. He said there was a bald man who lived near the cabin, and he was not nice. He did not like kids or noise. He said if they saw the bald man, they had to run back to the cabin and lock the door. + +Ben and Lily were not scared. They wanted to see the bald man. They thought he would be funny. They took their ball and went to the field behind the cabin. They threw the ball to each other and laughed. They did not see the bald man. + +But the bald man saw them. He was angry. He did not like their ball or their laughter. He came out of his house and walked towards them. He had a big stick in his hand. He shouted at them to go away. + +Ben and Lily heard the bald man. They were scared. They dropped the ball and ran back to the cabin. They locked the door and hugged their dad. They told him what happened. Dad was angry too. He said he would talk to the bald man and make him leave them alone. + +The next day, dad came back from the bald man's house. He had a smile on his face. He said he had a surprise for Ben and Lily. He took them to the field behind the cabin. There was their ball, and a new one. The new one had a note on it. It said: "Sorry for being mean. I was lonely. Do you want to be my friends? The bald man." Ben and Lily smiled too. They said yes. They played with the bald man and his ball. They learned his name was Bob. He was not so bad after all. +Tim and Mia liked to play in the garden. They liked to look for insects and see what they did. One day, they saw a big ant hill with many ants. Tim said, "Let's race the ants. I bet I can run faster than them." Mia said, "OK, but be careful. Ants can bite." + +They picked two ants and put them on the ground. They said, "Ready, set, go!" and ran as fast as they could. The ants ran too, but they did not follow Tim and Mia. They followed a trail of crumbs that led to a picnic basket. Tim and Mia did not see the crumbs. They only saw the basket. + +Tim reached the basket first. He said, "I win! I am faster than the ants." He opened the basket and saw a cake. He said, "Yum, cake! I want some." He reached for a slice, but a bee buzzed near his hand. The bee said, "Buzz off! This is my cake. I found it first." + +Tim was scared of the bee. He said, "Sorry, bee. I did not know. Please don't sting me." He backed away from the basket. Mia came to the basket too. She saw the bee and the cake. She said, "Tim, why did you take the cake? That is not nice. The cake belongs to someone else." + +Tim said, "I did not take it. I just wanted some. The bee is bossy. He won't share." Mia said, "The bee is not bossy. He is smart. He followed the crumbs. He did not race us. He raced to the cake. He worked hard to find it. He deserves it." + +Tim said, "You are right, Mia. I was silly. I did not work hard. I did not follow the crumbs. I did not race to the cake. I raced for nothing. I am sorry, bee. You can have the cake." The bee said, "Thank you, Tim. You are nice. You can have some cake too. But only a little. And share with Mia." + +Tim and Mia smiled. They said, "Thank you, bee. You are nice too. And you are fast. You can race with us anytime. But not for cake. For fun." The bee said, "OK, that sounds fun. But first, let's eat some cake. Cake is good." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches that racing is not always the best way to achieve something. Sometimes, it is better to work hard, follow clues, and be smart. It also teaches that sharing is better than being greedy or bossy, and that being nice can make friends. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would make silly noises like animals or cars. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they heard a loud noise from the street. It was a big truck with a siren. The truck was going to help someone who was hurt. Ben and Mia stopped playing and looked at the truck. They felt scared and curious. + +The truck reminded them of something. They remembered that their mom had told them a story about a truck like that. She said that the truck had helped her when she was little and had fallen from her bike. She said that the people in the truck were very nice and gave her a band-aid and a sticker. + +Ben and Mia felt better. They knew that the truck was not scary, but helpful. They smiled and waved at the truck as it passed by. Then they went back to playing with their ball and making silly noises. They were happy. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their boat in the pond. The boat is thin and red. It can go fast on the water. + +One day, Tom and Sam go to the pond with their boat. They see a big duck near the water. The duck is brown and white. It has a long neck and a big beak. + +"Look, a duck!" Tom says. "Let's go say hi!" + +"No, Tom, wait!" Sam says. "The duck might not like our boat. It might bite it or take it away." + +But Tom does not listen. He runs to the duck with the boat in his hand. He puts the boat on the water near the duck. He smiles and says, "Hello, duck! Do you want to play with our boat?" + +The duck looks at the boat. It feels curious. It swims closer to the boat. It stretches its neck and opens its beak. + +"Quack!" the duck says. It bites the boat and lifts it up. It shakes its head and throws the boat in the air. + +"Hey, stop!" Tom says. He feels angry and scared. He tries to catch the boat, but it is too high. The boat falls on the ground and breaks. It is not thin and red anymore. It is broken and sad. + +"Tom, I told you!" Sam says. He feels sorry and sad. He runs to Tom and hugs him. "It's okay, Tom. We can fix our boat. Or we can get a new one. Don't cry." + +Tom cries and hugs Sam. He feels sorry and sad too. He says, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was silly. I should have listened to you. The duck was not nice. It did not want to play with our boat. It wanted to eat it." + +The duck swims away. It feels full and happy. It quacks and flaps its wings. It does not care about the boat or the boys. It only cares about itself. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they saw a big tree in the park. The tree had many branches and leaves. + +"Let's climb the tree!" Tom said. He was strong and brave. + +"I don't know," Sam said. He was not so strong and a little scared. + +"Come on, it will be fun!" Tom said. He ran to the tree and started to climb. + +Sam followed him. He did not want to be left alone. He tried to climb, but it was hard. He slipped and fell. He hurt his leg and cried. + +Tom heard him and looked down. He saw Sam on the ground. He felt bad. He climbed down and ran to him. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. Are you okay?" Tom said. + +"It hurts," Sam said. He was sad and angry. + +"I regret climbing the tree. It was a bad idea. I should have listened to you," Tom said. + +He hugged Sam and said he was sorry again. He helped him get up and walk to his mom. His mom was worried and took him to the doctor. + +Tom and Sam learned a lesson. They should be careful and not do things that are too hard or dangerous. They should also respect each other's feelings. They were still friends, but they played safer games after that. +Tim and Kim are twins who like to play with toys. They have many toys of different shapes and colors. One day, their mom tells them to sort their toys and put them in boxes. She says sorting is good because it makes the room tidy and helps them find their toys easily. + +Tim and Kim start to sort their toys. Tim puts all the cars in one box, all the balls in another box, and all the animals in a third box. He is careful and neat. Kim puts all the toys she likes in one box, and all the toys she does not like in another box. She is fast and messy. + +Kim sees a banana toy in the box of toys she does not like. She picks it up and says, "This is a fake banana. It is not yellow and soft like a real banana. It is brown and hard like a stick. I do not want this toy. Do you want it, Tim?" + +Tim looks at the banana toy and says, "Yes, I want it. It is not a fake banana. It is a special banana. It is brown and hard because it is a ripe banana. It is sweet and tasty like a real banana. I like this toy. Can I have it, Kim?" + +Kim gives the banana toy to Tim and says, "Okay, you can have it. But I do not think it is a special banana. I think it is a silly banana. You can play with it, but I will not." + +Tim takes the banana toy and puts it in the box of animals. He says, "Thank you, Kim. I will play with it. It is not a silly banana. It is a smart banana. It can be a friend to the animals. It can make them happy and healthy. You can play with it too, if you want." + +Kim shakes her head and says, "No, thank you. I will play with my other toys. They are more fun and pretty. You can keep your smart banana." + +Mom comes back and sees how Tim and Kim sorted their toys. She smiles at Tim and says, "Good job, Tim. You sorted your toys very well. You put them in boxes by their types. You also found a special banana toy. It is a nice toy. You are a kind and clever boy." + +She frowns at Kim and says, "Not so good, Kim. You sorted your toys very poorly. You put them in boxes by your likes. You also missed a special banana toy. It is a waste of a toy. You are a selfish and foolish girl." + +Tim and Kim learn a lesson. Tim learns that sorting is good and that some toys are special. Kim learns that sorting is bad and that some toys are fake. Tim is happy and proud. Kim is sad and ashamed. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. But sometimes they fight. One day, they fight over a red car. Tom says it is his car. Sam says it is his car. + +"Give me the car!" Tom demands. He pulls the car from Sam's hand. + +"No, it is mine!" Sam shouts. He pushes Tom to the floor. + +"Ow, you are stupid!" Tom cries. He hits Sam with the car. + +"Stop, stop!" Mom says. She hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees Tom and Sam on the floor. She sees the red car and the blood on Sam's face. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. She is angry and sad. + +"Tom hit me with the car!" Sam says. He points to Tom. + +"Sam pushed me to the floor!" Tom says. He points to Sam. + +Mom takes the car and puts it on the shelf. She says, "You are both naughty. You cannot play with the car anymore. You have to go to your home and stay there. No TV, no snacks, no fun." + +Tom and Sam are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you. We love the car. Can we have it back?" + +Mom says, "No, you cannot. You have to learn to share and be nice. Maybe tomorrow, if you are good. Now go to your home and think about what you did." + +Tom and Sam go to their home. They are sad and bored. They look at the car on the shelf. They wish they did not fight. They wish they had a different car. They wish they had a different brother. +Lily and Max are friends who like to play outside. They have a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also have a dog named Spot who likes to run and jump with them. + +One day, they decide to do some exercise to make their muscles strong. They take turns on the swing, pushing each other higher and higher. They slide down the slide, laughing and shouting. They dig in the sandbox, making castles and tunnels. + +Spot watches them and wants to join. He runs to the swing and barks. He tries to catch the slide with his teeth. He jumps into the sandbox and messes up their castles. + +"Stop, Spot!" Lily says. "You are ruining our fun!" + +"Go away, Spot!" Max says. "You are too rough!" + +Spot does not listen. He thinks they are playing with him. He runs to Lily and pinches her leg with his mouth. Lily cries out in pain. + +"Ow, Spot! That hurts!" she says. "Bad dog!" + +Max runs to Lily and hugs her. He glares at Spot and says, "No, Spot! No pinch! You are a bad dog!" + +Spot looks sad. He does not understand why they are angry. He just wanted to play. He lowers his head and walks away. + +Lily and Max feel sorry for Spot. They know he did not mean to hurt Lily. They call him back and pet him. + +"It's okay, Spot," Lily says. "We are not mad at you. We still love you." + +"But you have to be gentle, Spot," Max says. "You can't pinch us or ruin our things. You have to play nice." + +Spot wags his tail and licks their faces. He understands. He wants to be a good dog. He wants to be their friend. + +They all hug and make up. They go back to their exercise, but this time they include Spot. They throw a ball for him to fetch. They run with him around the yard. They build a big castle in the sandbox and let him guard it. + +They have fun together. They are happy. They are friends. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the forest. They liked to climb trees, find bugs, and make forts with sticks and leaves. One day, they saw a big pile of lumber near the road. It was cut from the trees by some powerful machines. + +"Wow, look at all the lumber!" Tim said. "Let's go and see!" + +"OK, but be careful," Kim said. "The machines might come back." + +They ran to the pile of lumber and started to explore. They found some long and thick pieces that they could use as beams. They found some smaller and thinner pieces that they could use as walls. They decided to build a fort on top of the pile of lumber. + +They worked hard and had fun. They made a door, a window, and a roof. They even made a flag with a leaf and a stick. They were very proud of their fort. + +"Look at our fort!" Tim said. "It's the best fort ever!" + +"It's so cozy and cool!" Kim said. "Let's go inside and nap!" + +They crawled inside their fort and lay down on some soft leaves. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. + +They did not hear the sound of the powerful machines coming back. They did not see the big truck that came to load the lumber. They did not feel the pile of lumber moving and shaking. + +They only woke up when they heard a loud horn and a voice. + +"Hey, kids! What are you doing in there?" the voice said. "Get out of there, now!" + +Tim and Kim opened their eyes and saw a man in a yellow hat and a vest. He was driving the truck that had their fort on it. He looked angry and scared. + +They screamed and jumped out of their fort. They ran to the road and saw their mom and dad. They were looking for them and they were very worried. + +"Tim! Kim! Where have you been?" their mom said. "We've been searching for you for hours!" + +"We're sorry, mom!" Tim said. "We were napping in our fort!" + +"What fort?" their dad said. "All we see is a pile of lumber!" + +They pointed to the truck that was driving away. They saw their fort on it, with their flag still waving. + +"That was our fort!" Kim said. "We made it with the lumber!" + +Their mom and dad hugged them and sighed. They were glad that they were safe, but they were also very angry. + +They took them home and gave them a big lecture. They told them to never play with the lumber again. They told them to always stay close and listen to them. They told them to be careful and smart. + +Tim and Kim nodded and said sorry. They learned their lesson. They still liked to play in the forest, but they never went near the lumber again. They also never napped in their fort again. They napped in their beds, where it was safe and warm. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with trains. They had many toy trains of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them go fast on the tracks and pretend they were going to faraway places. + +One day, Lily saw a new train in the toy store. It was a big red train that could make steam. It looked very fun and exciting. Lily wanted to have it, but it was not cheap. It cost many coins that Lily did not have. + +"Can I have that train, please?" Lily asked her mom. + +"No, Lily, you have enough trains already. And that train is too expensive. We need to save our money for other things." Her mom said. + +"But I really want it! It can make steam! It is the best train ever!" Lily whined. + +"Lily, stop being greedy. You should be happy with what you have. And you should share your trains with Tom. He is your friend and he likes trains too." Her mom said. + +Lily did not listen. She was angry and sad. She decided to make a plan. She would take some coins from her mom's purse when she was not looking. Then she would go back to the toy store and buy the steam train. She thought her mom would not notice. + +The next day, Lily did what she planned. She took some coins from her mom's purse and ran to the toy store. She gave the coins to the man and took the steam train. She was very happy. She ran back home and hid the train under her bed. + +Later, Tom came to play with Lily. He saw her toy trains and asked if he could play with them. + +"Sure, you can play with them. But not with this one." Lily said, showing him the steam train. + +"Why not? It looks cool. Can I see it?" Tom asked. + +"No, you can't. It is mine. I bought it with my own money. It is not cheap. It can make steam. It is the best train ever." Lily said, holding the train tightly. + +Tom felt hurt and confused. He thought Lily was his friend and they always shared their toys. He did not understand why she was so mean and selfish. He did not want to play with her anymore. He said goodbye and left. + +Lily felt lonely and guilty. She realized she had done something wrong. She had taken money from her mom without asking. She had lied to Tom and hurt his feelings. She had been greedy and selfish. She did not feel happy with the steam train. She felt sorry. + +She decided to tell her mom the truth and apologize. She also decided to give the steam train to Tom as a gift. She hoped he would forgive her and be her friend again. + +She learned a lesson. She learned that money and toys are not the most important things. She learned that being honest and kind and sharing are more important. She learned that having a friend is better than having a steam train. +One day, a big dog and a little cat met in the park. The dog wanted to play with the cat, but the cat was fearful of the dog. The cat ran away and hid under a bench. + +"Come out, come out, little cat!" the dog barked. "I will not hurt you. I just want to be your friend." + +The cat peeked out from under the bench and saw the dog wagging his tail. The cat was still fearful, but also curious. "Why do you want to be my friend?" the cat meowed. + +"Because you are cute and fluffy, and I like cute and fluffy things," the dog said. "And because I can teach you something fun." + +"What can you teach me?" the cat asked. + +"I can teach you how to fetch a ball," the dog said. "It is a fun game. You run after the ball and bring it back to me. Then I throw it again and you run after it again. Do you want to try?" + +The cat thought for a moment. He liked to run and chase things, but he was not sure about the ball. He decided to give it a try. He came out from under the bench and followed the dog to a grassy spot. The dog picked up a ball with his mouth and threw it with his head. The cat ran after the ball and caught it with his paws. He brought it back to the dog and dropped it. The dog threw it again and the cat ran after it again. They repeated this until they were both tired and happy. + +"See, little cat, that was fun, right?" the dog said. + +"Yes, big dog, that was fun," the cat said. "Thank you for teaching me how to fetch a ball. You are a good friend." + +The dog and the cat smiled at each other and cuddled on the grass. They shared some food that they found in a trash can and then fell asleep. They learned that they could be friends even if they were different, and that they could teach each other new things. They were not fearful of each other anymore. +Ben liked cars very much. He had many toy cars that he played with every day. He liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. He also liked to watch his dad work on real cars. His dad was a mechanic. He fixed cars that were broken or old. + +One day, Ben's dad took him to his garage. He said he had a surprise for him. Ben was very excited. He hoped it was a new toy car. He followed his dad to a big car that was covered with a cloth. His dad pulled the cloth away and said, "Look, Ben, this is your car!" + +Ben could not believe his eyes. It was a small car that looked like a real car. It had four wheels, a steering wheel, a horn, and a seat. It was red and shiny. Ben's dad said, "I made this car for you. It is a special car. It can run on batteries or on pedals. You can drive it around the garage or outside. Do you like it?" + +Ben was so happy. He smiled and hugged his dad. He said, "Thank you, dad, I love it! It is the best car ever!" He climbed into the seat and turned the key. The car made a soft sound and moved forward. Ben drove it around the garage, honking the horn and waving at his dad. He felt like a real driver. + +Ben's dad smiled and watched him. He was glad he could make his son happy. He knew Ben was a good boy who loved cars. He also knew Ben was a spoiled boy who had too many toys. He hoped Ben would take care of his car and not break it. He hoped Ben would share his car with his friends and not be selfish. He hoped Ben would learn to be grateful and not greedy. He hoped Ben would grow up to be a good mechanic and a good person. He hoped Ben would always smile and be happy. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big fence near their house. The fence was hot from the sun and had many holes. + +"Let's go see what is behind the fence," Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful. The fence might hurt us," Tom said. + +They walked to the fence and looked through a hole. They saw a big dog with brown fur and black spots. The dog was barking and running around. + +"Wow, look at the dog! He is so cute!" Lily said. + +"I think he is lonely. Maybe he wants to play with us," Tom said. + +They tried to find a way to get to the dog, but the fence was too high and too hot. They could not climb over it or crawl under it. + +"How can we solve this problem?" Lily asked. + +"I have an idea. Let's go get some water and a ball. Maybe we can make the dog happy and cool," Tom said. + +They ran to their house and got a bucket of water and a ball. They came back to the fence and threw the ball over it. The dog saw the ball and ran to catch it. He wagged his tail and looked at them. + +"Good boy! Do you want some water?" Lily asked. + +She poured some water through a hole in the fence. The dog drank the water and licked the hole. He barked happily and rolled the ball back to them. + +"Yay! We solved the problem! We made a new friend!" Tom said. + +They played with the dog for a long time, until their mom called them for lunch. They said goodbye to the dog and promised to come back soon. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a flower bed with many colors. Anna likes the yellow flowers. Ben likes the red flowers. + +"Can I have a yellow flower?" Anna requests Ben. "They are so pretty and bright." + +"OK, you can have one. But be careful. Do not hurt the flowers," Ben says. He picks a little yellow flower and gives it to Anna. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind," Anna says. She smells the flower and smiles. + +"Can I have a red flower?" Ben requests Anna. "They are so warm and lovely." + +"OK, you can have one. But be gentle. Do not break the flowers," Anna says. She picks a little red flower and gives it to Ben. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are very sweet," Ben says. He looks at the flower and grins. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They have flowers and friends. They hug each other and run to the swings. They play until the sun goes down. +Tom and Sue like to play with trains. They have a big track with many trains and cars. They make the trains go fast and slow, and make noises like choo-choo and beep-beep. They have fun with their track. + +One day, they see a new train in the toy store. It is red and shiny, and has a big horn. It looks amazing. Tom and Sue want the new train very much. They ask their mom to buy it for them. But their mom says no. She says they have enough trains, and they should be happy with what they have. + +Tom and Sue are sad and angry. They think their mom is mean. They want the new train more than anything. They make a plan. They decide to save some money from their piggy bank, and buy the new train when their mom is not looking. They think they are very clever. + +The next day, they sneak out of the house with their money. They run to the toy store. They see the new train on the shelf. They grab it and go to the counter. They pay with their money, and take the train. They are very happy. They run back to their house with the train. + +But when they get to their house, they see something terrible. Their house is on fire. There are big flames and smoke. There are firemen and trucks. There are sirens and hoses. Their mom is outside, crying and looking for them. Tom and Sue are scared and sorry. They drop the train and run to their mom. They hug her and say they are sorry. They say they took the new train without asking. They say they were selfish and foolish. + +Their mom is glad to see them, but also angry and sad. She says they were very naughty and dangerous. She says they could have died in the fire. She says they should have listened to her, and not run away. She says they should have been happy with what they had, and not want more. She says they have lost their track and their trains, and their new train too. She says they have learned a hard lesson. + +Tom and Sue cry and say they are sorry. They say they have learned their lesson. They say they will never do it again. They say they love their mom and their track and their trains. They say they don't need the new train. They say they just want to be safe and happy. + +The end. + +Moral value: Be happy with what you have, and don't be greedy or dishonest. + +Foreshadowing or setup and payoff: The new train is set up as the object of desire and conflict, and pays off as the cause of regret and loss. The fire is foreshadowed by the noises and speed of the trains, and pays off as the consequence of the children's disobedience and danger. +Lily liked to help her mom in the garden. She helped her mom water the plants and pick the herbs. Her mom said herbs were good for cooking and making tea. Lily liked the smell of the herbs. She liked mint and rosemary and lavender. + +One day, Lily wanted to surprise her mom. She picked some herbs and put them in a basket. She wanted to store them in the kitchen for later. She thought her mom would be happy to see them. She walked to the house with the basket. + +But on the way, she saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards her. Lily was scared. She dropped the basket and ran to the door. The dog chased her and grabbed the basket. He tore the herbs and threw them on the ground. Lily was upset. She cried and banged on the door. + +Her mom heard her and opened the door. She saw Lily and the dog and the herbs. She hugged Lily and shooed the dog away. She said, "It's okay, Lily. You are safe. The dog was just playing. He didn't know the herbs were for us. You were very sweet to pick them for me. Thank you." + +She took Lily inside and gave her some juice and cookies. She said, "We can always grow more herbs. But you are my precious flower. I love you." Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She felt better. She said, "I love you too, mom." +Ben was a clumsy boy. He liked to play with his toys, but he often dropped them or broke them. His mom and dad were not happy when he made a mess. They told him to be more careful and to clean up after himself. + +One night, Ben had a dream. He dreamed that he was in a big kitchen with a lot of pasta. There were different kinds of pasta: long, short, curly, and round. Ben loved pasta. He wanted to eat some, but he did not have a fork or a spoon. He tried to use his hands, but the pasta was hot and slippery. He burned his fingers and dropped the pasta on the floor. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" a voice said. Ben looked up and saw a big chef with a white hat and a big mustache. He was holding a wooden spoon and looked angry. "You are making a big mess in my kitchen! You are a clumsy boy! You need to learn how to eat pasta properly!" + +Ben was scared. He did not want to make the chef angry. He wanted to say sorry, but he did not know how. He wished he had a fork or a spoon. He wished he was back in his bed with his toys. + +He opened his eyes and saw that he was in his bed with his toys. He was not in the big kitchen with the pasta and the chef. He was just dreaming. He felt relieved and happy. He hugged his teddy bear and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chef. I like pasta, but I don't like being clumsy." He closed his eyes and fell asleep again. He hoped he would have a better dream. +Jill and Jack were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big spoon. They used the spoon to dig in the sand, to stir their soup, and to make funny noises. They always shared the spoon and had fun. + +One day, their mom said they had to go to the doctor. She said the doctor would give them a shot to make them healthy. Jill and Jack did not like shots. They were scared and did not want to go. They ran to their room and hid under the bed with their spoon. + +Mom came to their room and looked for them. She saw their feet sticking out from under the bed. She said, "Jill and Jack, come out now. We have to go to the doctor. It will be quick and easy. Don't be afraid." + +Jill and Jack did not listen. They held their spoon tight and said, "No, no, no. We don't want to go. We want to stay here with our spoon. Go away, mom." + +Mom was angry. She pulled them out from under the bed and took their spoon away. She said, "That's enough. You are being naughty and rude. You have to go to the doctor, whether you like it or not. And you can't have your spoon back until you behave." + +Jill and Jack cried and yelled. They kicked and screamed. They wanted their spoon back. They did not want to go to the doctor. They were very unhappy. + +Mom dragged them to the car and drove them to the doctor. The doctor gave them a shot. It hurt a lot. Jill and Jack cried more. They wished they had their spoon. They wished they had been jolly and nice. They learned their lesson. The end. +Ben and Lily liked to jog in the park with their dad. They saw many things that made them happy, like birds, flowers and swings. One day, they saw a boy in a wheelchair. He had a motor on his chair that made it move. Ben and Lily were curious and wanted to talk to him. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Lily asked. + +"Hi, I am Sam. What are your names?" the boy answered. + +"We are Ben and Lily. We like to jog with our dad. Do you like to jog too?" Ben asked. + +"I can't jog, but I like to roll with my motor. It helps me go fast and have fun. Do you want to try?" Sam offered. + +Ben and Lily nodded and took turns to sit on Sam's chair. They pressed a button and the motor made the chair roll. They laughed and enjoyed the ride. Sam laughed with them and showed them how to steer. + +"Wow, this is fun! Thank you, Sam!" Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. Thank you for being my friends. Sometimes, other kids don't talk to me because I am different. They think I can't play with them." Sam said. + +"That's not nice. You are not different. You are just like us. You like to have fun and be happy. We can play with you anytime." Ben said. + +Sam smiled and hugged Ben and Lily. They hugged him back and said goodbye. They jogged back to their dad, who was waiting for them. They told him about Sam and his motor. Their dad was proud of them for being kind and friendly. + +The moral of the story is: Don't judge people by how they look or what they can or can't do. Everyone is special and deserves respect and friendship. +Jill was sad. It was a gloomy day. The sky was gray and the rain was falling. She could not go outside and play with her friends. She looked out the window and sighed. + +"Mom, can I do something fun?" she asked. + +"Sure, honey. Why don't you skip to the kitchen and help me make some cookies?" Mom said. + +Jill smiled. She liked cookies. She liked skipping too. She got up from the couch and skipped to the kitchen. She saw Mom had a big bowl and some eggs and flour and sugar and chocolate chips. + +"Can I help you, Mom?" Jill asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. You can crack the eggs and stir the batter and put the chocolate chips in. But first, you need to wash your hands. Go to the sink and turn on the faucet," Mom said. + +Jill nodded. She ran to the sink and turned on the faucet. The water was warm and bubbly. She rubbed her hands with soap and rinsed them. She dried them with a towel and skipped back to the bowl. + +She cracked the eggs and stirred the batter and put the chocolate chips in. She had fun. She licked the spoon and smiled. + +"Good job, Jill. Now we can put the cookies in the oven and wait for them to bake. Do you want to read a book with me while we wait?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, please. I love books. Can we read the one with the bear and the honey?" Jill asked. + +"Sure, honey. That's one of my favorites too. Come on, let's go to the living room and snuggle on the couch," Mom said. + +Jill skipped to the living room and grabbed the book. She sat on the couch with Mom and opened the book. Mom read the story and Jill looked at the pictures. She laughed at the bear and his silly adventures. She forgot about the gloomy day. She was happy. She smelled the cookies and her mouth watered. + +"Mom, I think the cookies are ready. Can we eat them now?" Jill asked. + +"Of course, darling. Let's go to the kitchen and enjoy them. They are warm and gooey and delicious. Just like you," Mom said. + +Jill hugged Mom and skipped to the kitchen. She saw the cookies on a plate. They looked yummy. She took one and bit into it. It was soft and sweet and chocolatey. She closed her eyes and savored it. + +"Mom, this is the best cookie ever. Thank you for making them with me. You are the best mom ever," Jill said. + +"You're welcome, Jill. I love you. You are the best daughter ever," Mom said. + +They ate the cookies and drank some milk. They smiled and talked and laughed. They had a wonderful time. They did not mind the gloomy day. They had each other. And that was enough. +Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to pretend with the lamp. The lamp was big and yellow, and it had a switch. They took turns to turn the lamp on and off, and make funny shadows on the wall. + +"Look, I'm a bird!" Lily said, flapping her arms. She made a shadow of a bird on the wall with the lamp. + +"Wow, you're a good bird!" Ben said. He clapped his hands. "Now it's my turn. I'm a lion!" He roared and made a shadow of a lion on the wall with the lamp. + +They had fun with the lamp for a long time. But then they heard their mom call them. + +"Lily, Ben, it's time for dinner!" Mom said. "Come downstairs, please." + +Lily and Ben did not want to stop playing. They liked the lamp too much. + +"Can we play a little more, mom?" Lily asked. "Please?" + +"Sorry, sweeties, but no," Mom said. "Dinner is ready, and it's something rare. You don't want to miss it." + +"What is it, mom?" Ben asked. "Is it pizza? Is it cake?" + +Mom smiled. "No, it's not pizza or cake. It's something you've never had before. It's a surprise. But you have to come now, or it will get cold." + +Lily and Ben were curious. They wanted to know what the rare dinner was. They decided to delay their play for later. + +"Okay, mom, we're coming," Lily said. She turned off the lamp and put it back on the table. + +"Me too, mom, I'm coming," Ben said. He followed Lily out of the room. + +They ran downstairs to the kitchen, where Mom was waiting for them. She had a big pot on the stove, and a nice smell in the air. + +"What is it, mom? What is it?" Lily and Ben asked. + +Mom lifted the lid of the pot and showed them. + +"It's soup," she said. "But not any soup. It's lamp soup. I made it with the lamp you were playing with." + +Lily and Ben gasped. They looked at the pot and saw pieces of yellow lamp floating in the soup. + +"Mom, you're joking, right?" Lily said. "You didn't really cook the lamp, did you?" + +Mom laughed. "Of course not, silly. I'm just teasing you. It's not lamp soup. It's chicken soup. I just added some yellow food coloring to make it look like lamp soup. Do you want to try it?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were relieved and amused. They decided to play along with Mom's joke. + +"Sure, mom, we want to try it," Lily said. "But only if you promise to give us some real lamp later." + +"Deal," Mom said. "But only if you promise to eat your soup first." + +"Deal," Ben said. "But only if you promise to tell us a story about the lamp later." + +"Deal," Mom said. "But only if you promise to give me a hug and a kiss later." + +"Deal," Lily and Ben said. They hugged and kissed Mom, and sat down to eat their rare lamp soup. They were happy and hungry, and they wondered what other surprises Mom had for them. +Lila was a girl who liked to draw. She had many sheets of paper and many colors to use. She drew flowers, animals, houses, and people. She was happy when she drew. + +One day, she saw a boy named Ben who was drawing too. He had only one sheet of paper and one black pen. He drew cars, planes, rockets, and stars. He was happy when he drew. + +Lila wanted to see his drawing. She walked to him and said, "Can I see your drawing?" Ben nodded and showed her his sheet. Lila admired his drawing. She said, "Wow, you are very good. I like your drawing." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you. I like your drawing too. You have many colors and many things. Can I see your drawing?" Lila nodded and showed him her sheet. Ben admired her drawing. He said, "Wow, you are very good. I like your drawing." + +Lila and Ben became friends. They shared their sheets and their colors. They drew together and learned from each other. They were happy when they drew. + +The moral of the story is: You can admire and appreciate different kinds of drawings and different kinds of people. You can share and learn from each other. You can be happy when you do what you like. +Sara and Ben are going to visit Grandma on Tuesday. They are very happy because they love Grandma and her large house. They have to pack their bags with clothes and toys. + +"Ben, what are you packing?" Sara asks her brother. + +"I am packing my cars and my books and my teddy bear," Ben says. + +"That is too much, Ben. You only need one car and one book and one teddy bear. We have to share the space in the bag," Sara says. + +"But I want to play with all of them at Grandma's house," Ben says. + +"You can play with Grandma's toys, too. She has a lot of fun things for us. And we can read her stories and cuddle with her," Sara says. + +"Okay, Sara. I will pack only one car and one book and one teddy bear. But you have to pack less, too. You have too many dresses and dolls and crayons," Ben says. + +"Fine, Ben. I will pack only one dress and one doll and one crayon. But you have to help me zip the bag. It is very heavy," Sara says. + +They help each other zip the bag and put it by the door. They are ready to go to Grandma's house on Tuesday. They hug each other and smile. They are very happy. +Jill and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, blocks, books and more. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a navy boat. It is blue and white and has a flag. It has wheels and a button. Jill and Ben are curious. They want to play with the navy boat. + +"Can I see the boat?" Jill asks Ben. + +"OK, you can see it. But I want to push the button," Ben says. + +They take the boat out of the box. Jill holds the boat and looks at it. Ben pushes the button. The boat makes a loud sound. It sounds like a horn. + +"Wow, that is cool!" Jill says. + +"Yes, it is cool. But it is too loud. It hurts my ears," Ben says. + +They push the button again. The boat makes the same sound. They laugh and cover their ears. + +Mom hears the sound from the kitchen. She comes to their room. She sees Jill and Ben playing with the navy boat. + +"Hi, kids. What are you playing with?" Mom asks. + +"We are playing with the navy boat. It is a new toy. It makes a loud sound," Jill says. + +"Can I hear it?" Mom asks. + +"Sure, Mom. Push the button," Ben says. + +Mom pushes the button. The boat makes the loud sound. Mom smiles and covers her ears. + +"That is a very loud boat. Where did you get it?" Mom asks. + +"We found it in the toy box. We don't know who gave it to us," Jill says. + +Mom looks at the boat. She sees a sticker on the bottom. It says "To Jill and Ben, from Grandpa. He was in the navy. He hopes you like this boat. It is helpful to make noise and scare away bad guys." + +Mom reads the sticker to Jill and Ben. They are surprised and happy. + +"Grandpa gave us the boat. He was in the navy. He is very nice. We like the boat. It is helpful," Jill and Ben say. + +Mom hugs Jill and Ben. She says "Grandpa loves you very much. He wants you to have fun and learn. The boat is a special gift. You can play with it, but not too loud. OK?" + +"OK, Mom. We will play with it, but not too loud. We will say thank you to Grandpa. We love him too," Jill and Ben say. + +They put the boat back in the box. They pick another toy to play with. They are happy and grateful. They have a good day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away. Then they had to run after it. + +One day, they saw a big box near the swings. It was brown and had a hole in the side. They were curious and went to look at it. They heard a sound coming from the box. It was music. It was not like the music they heard on the radio or on their mom's phone. It was different. It was mysterious. + +"Hello, is anyone there?" Tom asked, peeking into the hole. + +"Hello, hello, hello," a voice echoed back. It sounded funny and made them giggle. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked, joining Tom. + +"I am a parrot. I can talk and sing. Do you want to hear me?" the voice said. + +"Yes, please," Tom and Lily said together. + +The parrot started to sing a song. It was a silly song about bananas and monkeys. Tom and Lily laughed and clapped. They liked the parrot and his music. + +But then, a man came running to the box. He was angry and shouted at them. + +"Hey, you kids, get away from my box! That's my parrot! He's very valuable and rare! Don't touch him!" + +He grabbed the box and lifted it up. The parrot squawked and flapped his wings. He was scared and wanted to escape. He pushed the hole open and flew out of the box. He soared into the sky and scattered feathers everywhere. + +"Come back, come back, you stupid bird!" the man yelled, chasing after him. + +But the parrot was too fast and too smart. He flew away and never came back. He was free and happy. + +Tom and Lily watched him go. They felt sorry for the man, but they were glad for the parrot. They hoped he would find a nice place to live and make more music. + +They went back to their ball and continued to play. They sang the parrot's song and smiled. They had a new friend and a new memory. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a ball and a bike. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big lawn near their house. The lawn is green and soft. It has many flowers and bugs. Anna and Ben think the lawn is interesting. + +"Can we play on the lawn?" Anna asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe the lawn belongs to someone. Maybe they mind if we play on it." Ben says. + +They look around. They see a house next to the lawn. They see a man in the house. He is reading a book. He does not see them. + +"Let's ask him. Maybe he is nice. Maybe he lets us play on the lawn." Anna says. + +They walk to the house. They knock on the door. The man opens the door. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, little ones. What can I do for you?" He says. + +"Hello, sir. We are Anna and Ben. We live near your house. We like your lawn. It is interesting. Can we play on it?" Anna says. + +The man looks at the lawn. He looks at Anna and Ben. He nods. + +"Sure, you can play on the lawn. But be careful. Don't step on the flowers. Don't hurt the bugs. And don't make too much noise. I am reading a book. I need some quiet." He says. + +"Thank you, sir. We will be careful. We will not mind you. We will not make noise." Ben says. + +The man closes the door. He goes back to his book. Anna and Ben run to the lawn. They play with the ball and the bike. They see the flowers and the bugs. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They saw a big steak on the table. It looked yummy. They wanted to eat it. + +"Let's take the steak and run away," Ben said. "Mom and Dad won't notice." + +"But the steak is heavy," Lily said. "We can't carry it by ourselves." + +"We can use this," Ben said. He showed Lily a big bag. "We can put the steak in the bag and drag it." + +Lily and Ben put the steak in the bag. They tried to drag it, but it was too heavy. They pulled and pulled, but the bag did not move. + +"Help!" Ben shouted. "The bag is stuck!" + +Mom and Dad heard Ben's shout. They came to the table and saw the steak in the bag. They were angry. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "That steak is for dinner. You can't take it." + +"We were hungry," Lily said. "We wanted to eat it." + +"That's not how you get what you want," Dad said. "You need to ask nicely and wait your turn. You can't be greedy and selfish." + +Mom and Dad took the steak out of the bag. They put it back on the table. They told Lily and Ben to go to their room. They said they would not get any steak for dinner. + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They realized they had made a mistake. They wished they had listened to Mom and Dad. + +The moral of the story is: You need to be polite and patient. You can't take what is not yours. Greed and selfishness lead to trouble. +Anna and Ben like to ride the subway with their mom. They see many people and things on the subway. Some people are nice and some are not. Some things are fun and some are scary. + +One day, they see a big dog on the subway. The dog is black and brown and has a loud bark. Anna and Ben are afraid of the dog. They think the dog will bite them or hurt them. They hide behind their mom and hold her hand. + +But their mom is not afraid of the dog. She knows the dog is harmless. She tells Anna and Ben that the dog is a good dog. The dog is a service dog. The dog helps a man who cannot see. The dog protects the man and guides him on the subway. The dog is the man's friend. + +Anna and Ben look at the dog again. They see that the dog is calm and gentle. The dog wears a vest that says "Do not pet". The dog stays close to the man and listens to his voice. The dog is not scary. The dog is brave and smart. + +Anna and Ben smile at the dog and the man. They are not afraid anymore. They learn that the dog is harmless. They learn that the dog protects the man. They learn that the subway is a place where they can see many people and things. They learn that they can be brave and smart too. +Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat a cookie. She went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. She saw a jar of cookies on the top shelf. She tried to reach it, but it was too high. She looked for a chair to stand on, but there was none. + +She saw her brother Jake in the living room. He was playing with his cars. She ran to him and said, "Jake, help me. I want a cookie. The cookies are in the refrigerator. They are too high for me. Give me a boost." + +Jake looked at her and shook his head. He said, "No, Lily. Those are not your cookies. Those are Mom's cookies. She made them for her friends. She said we can't have any. She will be angry if we take them." + +Lily pouted. She said, "But I'm hungry. And they look so yummy. Just one cookie, Jake. Please." + +Jake said, "No, Lily. Go away. I'm busy. Play with your dolls." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She didn't want to play with her dolls. She wanted a cookie. She thought Jake was mean and selfish. She decided to get a cookie by herself. She went back to the kitchen and looked for something to climb on. She saw a stool by the sink. She dragged it to the refrigerator and climbed on it. She reached for the jar of cookies. She was almost there. + +But then she heard a loud voice. It was Mom. She had come home from work. She saw Lily on the stool and the jar of cookies. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? Get down from there right now. You know you are not supposed to touch those cookies. They are not for you. They are for my friends. How many times do I have to tell you?" + +Lily was scared. She dropped the jar of cookies. It fell to the floor and broke. The cookies scattered everywhere. Mom was very angry. She said, "Lily, you are in big trouble. You made a mess. You wasted the cookies. You disobeyed me. Go to your room. No TV for you tonight." + +Lily cried. She felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was hungry. I wanted a cookie. Jake wouldn't help me. He was mean." + +Mom said, "That's no excuse, Lily. You should have asked me for a snack. You should have listened to Jake. He was right. You were wrong. Now go to your room and think about what you did." + +Lily went to her room. She was still hungry. She was still sad. She wished she had never tried to find the cookies. She wished Mom was not so harsh. She wished Jake was nicer. She wished she had a cookie. +Tom and Anna like to play in the park. They run and jump and swing and slide. They have a lot of fun. + +One day, they see a big hill in the park. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. They hold hands and start to walk up the hill. + +"Be careful, Tom," Anna says. "The hill is wet and slippery. You might fall." + +"I will not fall, Anna," Tom says. "I am good at climbing. I can improve my skill." + +But Tom is wrong. He steps on a wet leaf and slips. He falls down the hill and rolls and rolls. He gets wet and dirty and ouchy. + +"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Anna shouts. She runs down the hill to help him. + +Tom is crying. He has a bump on his head and a scratch on his knee. He is sad and scared. + +"I am sorry, Anna," he says. "I was not careful. I fell and hurt myself." + +"It's okay, Tom," Anna says. She hugs him and wipes his tears. "You will be fine. Let's go to the nurse and get a band-aid. Then we can play something else." + +They walk to the nurse and get a band-aid. The nurse is nice and gives them a sticker and a juice. They feel better. + +They go back to the park and play on the swings. They do not climb the hill again. They learn to be careful and safe. They still have a lot of fun. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and crash into each other. Sometimes they broke their cars, but they did not care. They just threw them away and got new ones. + +One day, their dad saw the pile of broken cars in the waste bin. He was not happy. He said, "Tom and Lily, why do you waste your toys like this? You should repair them and take care of them. They are not cheap, you know. And you are hurting the earth by making so much waste." + +Tom and Lily did not listen. They said, "We don't want to repair them. It is hard and boring. We want to play and have fun. We have many more cars in our room. We don't need the old ones." + +Their dad was angry. He said, "That is not how you treat your things. You are being very naughty and selfish. From now on, you will not get any new cars until you fix the ones you have. And you will help me sort out the waste bin and recycle what you can. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily did not like this. They cried and whined. But they knew their dad was serious. They had to be obedient and do what he said. They hoped he would change his mind and let them have new cars soon. But they also learned a lesson. They learned to repair their toys and not waste them. They learned to be more careful and respectful. And they learned to love their old cars as much as their new ones. +Sara and Ben were going to visit their grandma. They had to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Sara liked to pack her bag with shiny things. She had a necklace with a blue mineral that sparkled in the sun. She put it in her bag with her doll and her book. + +Ben was grumpy. He did not want to pack his bag. He wanted to play with his cars and his blocks. He did not like to go to grandma's house. He said it was boring and old. He threw his clothes and his teddy bear in his bag. + +"Ben, stop being grumpy," Sara said. "Grandma is nice. She makes us cookies and tells us stories. Maybe she has a mineral for you too." + +"I don't want a mineral. I want a car. A big car that goes vroom vroom," Ben said. He made a loud noise with his mouth. + +"Shh, Ben. You are too loud. Mom and dad will hear you. They will be sad if you are not happy to see grandma," Sara said. She tried to hug Ben, but he pushed her away. + +"Leave me alone. I don't want to go. I don't want to hug. I don't want anything," Ben said. He crossed his arms and pouted. + +Sara sighed. She did not know how to make Ben happy. She hoped that grandma would have a surprise for him. She hoped that Ben would be nice to grandma. She hoped that they would have fun together. She zipped up her bag and took it to the car. She waited for Ben to do the same. +Anna and Ben are twins. They go to a school where they have to wear a uniform. The uniform is a blue shirt and a black skirt or pants. Anna likes the uniform, but Ben does not. He thinks it is boring and plain. + +One day, Ben has an idea. He finds some stickers and glitter in his room. He decides to make his uniform more fancy. He puts stickers on his shirt and glitter on his pants. He looks at himself in the mirror and smiles. He thinks he looks cool and fun. + +He goes to the kitchen where Anna is eating breakfast. He shows her his fancy uniform. "Look, Anna, I made my uniform better. Don't you like it?" he asks. + +Anna looks at him and gasps. She does not like his fancy uniform. She thinks it looks silly and messy. She is worried that the teacher and the other kids will laugh at him. She wants him to change back to his normal uniform. + +"Ben, what did you do to your uniform? You can't wear that to school. You will get in trouble. And you will ruin your clothes. Please take off the stickers and the glitter," she suggests. + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to take off the stickers and the glitter. He likes his fancy uniform. He thinks Anna is boring and plain. He does not listen to her suggestion. + +"No, Anna, I won't take them off. I like my uniform this way. You are just jealous. You should make your uniform more fancy too. Then you will look cool and fun like me," he says. + +Anna and Ben start to argue. They raise their voices and say mean things to each other. They do not notice that their mom has come into the kitchen. She hears them and sees their uniforms. She is not happy. She tells them to stop fighting and to go to their rooms. She says they have to change their uniforms and clean their clothes. She says they have to apologize to each other and to her. + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They do not want to change their uniforms or clean their clothes. They do not want to apologize. They think their mom is unfair and mean. They go to their rooms and slam their doors. They do not talk to each other or to their mom. They have a bad day. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy soldiers in the garden. They had many soldiers of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them fight and march and talk. They were very organized and put their soldiers in neat rows and groups. + +One day, a big dog came into the garden. He saw the toy soldiers and thought they were food. He ran towards them and started to bite and chew them. Tom and Lily were scared and shouted at the dog. + +"Go away, dog! Leave our soldiers alone!" Tom said. + +"No, dog! Bad dog! Stop eating our soldiers!" Lily said. + +But the dog did not listen. He liked the taste of the toy soldiers. He thought they were crunchy and salty and sweet. He ate them all, one by one, until there were none left. Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They cried and hugged each other. + +The dog was full and happy. He wagged his tail and licked his lips. He did not care about Tom and Lily. He did not know he had done something wrong. He walked away, looking for more things to taste. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in nature. They see trees, flowers, birds and bugs. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they find a big rock. Sara wants to climb on it. Ben wants to roll it. They start to argue. + +"No, I want to climb!" Sara says. + +"No, I want to roll!" Ben says. + +They push and pull the rock. They are angry and loud. + +A squirrel comes out of a tree. It looks at Sara and Ben. It makes a noise. + +"Shh, shh, shh!" the squirrel says. + +Sara and Ben stop and look at the squirrel. They are surprised and quiet. + +"What do you want?" Sara asks. + +"Be nice, be nice, be nice!" the squirrel says. + +"Why?" Ben asks. + +"Nature is serious, serious, serious!" the squirrel says. "You have to respect it, not fight over it. You can share the rock, or find another one. But don't hurt nature or each other." + +Sara and Ben think about what the squirrel says. They feel sorry and ashamed. + +"You are right, squirrel," Sara says. "We are sorry. We will be nice." + +"Yes, we will," Ben says. "We will share the rock, or find another one. We don't want to hurt nature or each other." + +The squirrel smiles and nods. It goes back to the tree. + +Sara and Ben hug and make up. They decide to share the rock. They take turns climbing and rolling. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +They thank the squirrel for teaching them a lesson. They love nature and each other. +Tim and Lily were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun. + +But then, the sky became dark and angry. They heard a loud noise like a big drum. They saw a bright flash like a firework. It was lightning. They were scared. + +"Let's go home, Tim!" Lily said. "It's going to rain!" + +"OK, Lily!" Tim said. "But where is our ball?" + +They looked around and saw their ball under a big tree. Tim ran to get it. But as he reached for it, another lightning flashed and hit the tree. The tree became on fire. Tim screamed. + +"Tim, come back!" Lily shouted. "It's dangerous!" + +Tim dropped the ball and ran back to Lily. They hugged each other and ran to their house. They were safe. + +Their mom was waiting for them at the door. She saw them wet and dirty and scared. She gave them a big hug and a warm towel. She said, "You're OK, my loves. Don't worry. The storm will pass soon." + +She took them to the kitchen and gave them some cookies and milk. They ate and drank and felt better. They were hungry. + +They told their mom what happened. She said, "You were very brave, Tim and Lily. But next time, when you see lightning, don't go near the trees. They can catch fire. And don't play outside when it's dark and angry. Come inside and stay with me." + +They nodded and said, "OK, mom. We love you." + +They love their mom. She loves them. They are happy. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. They make noises and pretend to drive. + +One day, Tim has a new truck. It is big and red and shiny. It can make loud sounds and move by itself. Tim says, "This is my truck. It is the best truck ever. You cannot play with it." + +Sam is upset. He wants to play with the new truck too. He says, "Please, Tim, can I play with your truck? Just for a little bit. I will be careful." + +Tim says, "No, Sam, you cannot play with my truck. It is mine. Go away." + +Sam is very upset. He cries and runs away. He sees Tim's old truck on the floor. It is small and blue and dirty. It does not make sounds or move by itself. Sam has an idea. He says, "If I cannot play with Tim's new truck, he cannot play with his old truck either." + +Sam takes Tim's old truck and runs outside. He sees a big can of fuel by the garage. He says, "I will give Tim's old truck some fuel. Then it will make sounds and move by itself. And then it will break." + +Sam pours the fuel all over Tim's old truck. He throws it on the ground. He waits for it to make sounds and move by itself. But nothing happens. The fuel does not work. It only makes the truck wet and smelly. + +Sam is angry. He kicks the truck hard. He hears a loud boom. He sees fire and smoke. He feels heat and pain. He screams. + +Tim hears the boom. He sees the fire and smoke. He sees Sam on the ground. He sees his old truck in flames. He is shocked. He runs to Sam. He says, "Sam, what did you do? Why did you do that? You are hurt. You hurt my truck. You are a bad friend." + +Sam is sorry. He says, "I am sorry, Tim. I was upset. I wanted to play with your new truck. I did not mean to hurt you or your truck. Please forgive me." + +Tim is sad. He says, "I am sorry too, Sam. I was mean. I should have let you play with my new truck. But now it is too late. You need help. My truck is gone. We are not friends anymore." + +The end. +Lily and Max are going to the zoo with Mom. They are very excited to see the animals. They have to take the subway to get there.

They giggle and clap. + +The man is happy. He says, "You are very good. You are drummers too. Can you do something for me?" + +"What is it?" Tom and Anna ask. + +"Can you help me end my song?" the man says. "When I say 'the end', you hit the drum hard and then applaud. Can you do that?" + +"Yes, we can," Tom and Anna say. + +The man starts to sing again. He sings about the sun and the sky and the birds. He sings faster and faster. Then he says, "The end!"

They say, "Thank you, thank you! You are wonderful too!" + +The man gives them back their sticks. He says, "You are welcome, welcome! You made my day. Come back and play with me again." + +Tom and Anna say, "We will, we will!" They wave goodbye to the man. They take their ball and their kite. They look at the sky. It is noon.

It makes a loud noise like siren. + +Tom is surprised and scared. He tries to stop the car, but it is too fast. It runs into the wall and falls down. The noise stops. Tom picks up the car and looks at it. It has a scratch on the front. He feels sad. + +He hears his mom calling him. She says it is time for lunch. He puts the car back in the toy box. He does not want to play with it anymore. He likes his other cars better. They are peaceful and quiet. He goes to the kitchen and hugs his mom. He tells her he loves her. She smiles and gives him a sandwich. He is happy. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They found a shiny crown on the ground. Sara picked it up and put it on her head. + +"I am the queen of the park!" she said. "You have to do what I say!" + +Ben did not like that. He wanted to play with the crown too. He tried to take it from Sara, but she held it tight. + +"No, it is mine!" she said. "You can be my servant!" + +Ben was angry. He did not want to be a servant. He wanted to be a king. He pushed Sara and made her fall. The crown fell off her head and rolled away. + +Sara cried. She was hurt and sad. She wanted her crown back. + +A man came over. He saw the crown and picked it up. He looked at it and laughed. + +"This is not a real crown," he said. "It is fake. It is made of plastic and glitter. I threw it away yesterday. It was a toy for my dog." + +He showed them his dog. The dog had a collar with a bell. The dog barked and wagged its tail. + +Sara and Ben felt silly. They had fought over a fake crown. They said sorry to each other and to the man.

We can only look at it from here," mom said. + +Lily and Max were sad. They liked the pink yacht. They wanted to see what was inside. They wondered if there were toys and snacks and beds on the yacht. + +They decided to play in the sand instead. They found some shells and stones and sticks. They made a small boat with the sand.

It is red and white. It smells good." + +Lila shakes her head. "No, Ben. We cannot pick the flower. The bee needs it. The flower is its food. If we pick the flower, the bee will be sad and hungry." + +Ben nods. He understands. He does not want to make the bee sad and hungry. He wants to be kind to the bee and the flower. + +"Okay, Lila. We will not pick the flower. We will let the bee have it. Maybe we can find another flower to pick. One that has no bee on it." + +Lila smiles. She agrees. She and Ben look for another flower to pick. They find a blue one. It has no bee on it. They pick it gently. They are happy. They give the flower to their mom. She is happy too.

Sara says. + +Tom nods. He likes the passport too. He wants to play with it. He asks Sara, "Can I see your passport? Can I hold it?" + +Sara shakes her head. She does not want to share. She says, "No, Tom, this is my passport. You cannot see it. You cannot hold it. It is mine." + +Tom feels sad. He does not like Sara's answer. He says, "But Sara, we are friends. Friends share. Why are you not nice to me?" + +Sara thinks for a moment. She remembers that Tom is her friend. She remembers that he shares his toys with her. She feels sorry. She says, "You are right, Tom. We are friends. Friends share. I am sorry. You can see my passport. You can hold it. But be careful. Do not break it." + +Tom smiles. He is happy. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend.
