+
+"I'm glad you're okay, but you should never do that again. You could have hurt yourselves or cut yourselves with the glass. And you should always listen to me and wait for your treats. Now, help me clean this up and then go to your room. No chocolate for you tonight."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and said,
+
+"Yes, Mom."
+
+They helped Mom clean the chocolate and the glass. Then they went to their room and felt sad. They learned their lesson. They decided to be good and eat their vegetables next time. Maybe then, Mom would give them some chocolate.
+Lily was walking in the garden with her mom. She liked to see the flowers and the bugs. She saw a yellow and black bug on a red flower. She wanted to touch it.
+
+"Mom, what is that?" she asked, pointing at the bug.
+
+"That is a bee, Lily. Bees make honey and help the flowers grow. But you should not touch them, they might sting you if they are scared," her mom said.
+
+Lily was curious. She wanted to meet the bee. She moved closer to the flower, slowly and quietly. She said hello to the bee.
+
+"Hello, bee. I am Lily. You are pretty. Can we be friends?" she said.
+
+The bee looked at Lily. It was busy collecting nectar from the flower. It did not want to be disturbed. But it was patient and polite. It buzzed softly.
+
+"Hello, Lily. I am Bee. Thank you for your compliment. I am glad you like flowers. But I have to work now. Maybe we can talk later, when I am done," it said.
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She did not want to bother the bee. She smiled and said goodbye.
+
+"Goodbye, Bee. I hope you have a good day. Maybe I will see you again," she said.
+
+She walked away with her mom, happy and proud. She had met a bee and learned something new. She wondered what other bugs she could meet in the garden.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside and look at the stars. One night, they saw a big, bright star that shone more than the others. They wondered what it was.
+
+"Maybe it is a movie star," Lily said. "Maybe it is in a movie that we can watch."
+
+"Or maybe it is a spaceship," Ben said. "Maybe it is from a far away place that we don't know."
+
+They decided to follow the star and see where it went. They took their bikes and rode along the road. The star moved slowly in the sky, and they tried to keep up. They passed by many houses and shops, but they did not stop.
+
+After a while, they came to a big field. The star was very close to the ground. It looked like a big ball of light. Lily and Ben were curious and scared. They got off their bikes and walked towards the star. They heard a soft sound, like a hum.
+
+"Hello," a voice said. "Don't be afraid. I am a friend."
+
+Lily and Ben saw a small figure come out of the star. It looked like a person, but with green skin and big eyes. It smiled and waved at them.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asked. "Where are you from?"
+
+"I am Zee," the figure said. "I am from a planet called Zara. I came to visit your world and learn about it. I saw you looking at me, and I wanted to say hi."
+
+Lily and Ben were amazed. They had never met anyone like Zee before. He was very different, but also very nice. They asked him many questions, and he answered them. He told them about his planet, his family, and his hobbies. He showed them some things he brought with him, like a toy, a book, and a picture. He also asked them about their planet, their family, and their hobbies. He listened to them and learned from them. He liked their things, too.
+
+They had a lot of fun talking and playing with Zee. They forgot about the time and the dark. They did not notice that their parents were looking for them and worried about them.
+
+Soon, Zee said he had to go. He said his star was his spaceship, and he had to return to his planet. He thanked Lily and Ben for being his friends, and gave them a hug. He said he hoped to see them again someday.
+
+"Goodbye, Zee," Lily and Ben said. "We will miss you. Have a safe trip."
+
+They watched Zee get into his star and fly away. The star shone brightly in the sky, and then faded away. Lily and Ben felt sad, but also happy. They had made a new friend, and learned something new. They realized that even though Zee was different, he was also the same. He was kind, smart, and funny. He was a good person.
+
+They got on their bikes and rode back home. They told their parents what happened, and apologized for being late. Their parents were angry, but also relieved. They hugged them and told them they loved them. They also told them to be careful, and not to go too far without telling them.
+
+Lily and Ben understood. They said they were sorry, and they loved them, too. They also said they had learned a lesson. They said they had learned to be curious, but also cautious. They said they had learned to be open, but also respectful. They said they had learned to be friendly, but also responsible.
+
+They said they had learned that the world was big and mysterious, but also wonderful and amazing. They said they had learned that the stars could shine with many colors, but also with many stories.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made noises like vroom and beep and honk as they drove them on the floor. They pretended they were going to the park, the zoo, or the store.
+
+One day, they found a big box in the living room. It had a symbol on it. It looked like a star with a circle around it. Tom and Lily wondered what was inside. They asked their mom.
+
+"Mom, what is in the box?" Tom said.
+
+"It's a surprise for you and Lily. But you have to wait until tomorrow. It's your birthday present." Mom said.
+
+"Can we open it now? Please, please, please?" Lily said.
+
+"No, you have to be patient. It's a very special present. You will love it. But you have to keep the box close until tomorrow. Don't peek inside." Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were curious, but they also wanted to obey their mom. They put the box close to their bed. They looked at the symbol. They tried to guess what was inside. Maybe it was a big car, or a doll, or a book, or a game.
+
+They went to sleep, dreaming of their surprise.
+
+The next morning, they woke up early. They ran to the box. They opened it carefully. They gasped. Inside was a puppy. It was brown and white and fluffy. It had a red collar with a tag that said "Sparky". It wagged its tail and licked their faces.
+
+"Wow! A puppy! Thank you, mom!" Tom and Lily shouted.
+
+They hugged their mom and their new friend. They played with Sparky all day. He was noisy, but he was also fun and cute. He liked to chase their cars and fetch their balls. He made them laugh and smile.
+
+Tom and Lily were very happy. They had the best birthday ever. They loved their surprise. They loved their mom. And they loved Sparky. He was their star.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But they do not like to clean their room. Their mom always tells them to clean their room before dinner.
+
+One day, mom has a surprise for them. She says, "I have a letter for you. It is from your grandma. She is coming to visit us tomorrow. Do you want to read the letter?"
+
+Anna and Ben are very happy. They love their grandma. She always brings them gifts and tells them stories. They say, "Yes, mom, we want to read the letter!"
+
+Mom gives them the letter. It is in a big envelope. Anna and Ben open it. Inside, there is a card with a picture of a flower. And there is a note. The note says, "Dear Anna and Ben, I miss you very much. I can't wait to see you. I hope you are good and clean your room. Love, Grandma."
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They look at their room. It is very messy. There are toys and books and clothes everywhere. They feel bad. They want to make their grandma happy. They say, "Mom, we are sorry. We will clean our room now. Can you help us?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Of course, I will help you. Cleaning is not so difficult if we do it together. And I am proud of you for wanting to clean your room. Let's start with the toys. Where do they belong?"
+
+Anna and Ben pick up the toys and put them in the toy box. Then they put the books on the shelf. Then they fold the clothes and put them in the drawer. They work hard and fast. Soon, their room is clean and tidy. They feel good.
+
+They show mom their room. Mom says, "Wow, you did a great job. Your room looks beautiful. Grandma will be very happy to see it. And I have another surprise for you. Since you cleaned your room, you can have some cookies for dessert. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna and Ben cheer. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. We love you. And we love grandma. We can't wait to see her tomorrow." They hug mom and run to the kitchen. They are very excited. They have a letter, a clean room, and cookies. They are very happy.
+One day, a little otter named Ollie went to the river with his mom and dad. He loved to swim and play with his friends, but he also liked to drink the fresh water. His mom and dad told him to be careful and not drink too much, because it could make him sick.
+
+Ollie nodded, but he did not listen. He drank and drank and drank, until his tummy felt funny. He thought it was normal, so he kept drinking. He did not see the big fish that was watching him from the deep.
+
+The big fish was hungry and wanted to eat Ollie. It waited for the right moment, and then it jumped out of the water and tried to catch Ollie in its mouth. Ollie was scared and cried for help. His mom and dad heard him and swam as fast as they could. They bit the big fish and made it go away.
+
+Ollie was safe, but he felt very bad. His mom and dad hugged him and told him he was lucky. They also told him he should not drink so much water, because it was not normal and it could make him sick. Ollie said he was sorry and he learned his lesson. He thanked his mom and dad and his friends, and he promised to be more careful next time. He still liked to drink the water, but only a little bit.
+Anna likes to play with her mom's makeup. She thinks it is fun to put on lipstick and eyeshadow and look like a princess. But her mom does not like it when Anna takes her makeup without asking. She says it is not for children and it can make a mess.
+
+One day, Anna sees her mom's makeup bag on the table. She wants to play with it, so she grabs it and runs to her room. She opens the bag and takes out a red lipstick. She tries to put it on her lips, but it is hard. She pushes too hard and the lipstick breaks. She is upset. She drops the lipstick on the floor.
+
+Then she hears her mom coming. She is scared. She knows her mom will be angry. She tries to hide the makeup bag under her bed, but it is too late. Her mom sees the lipstick on the floor and the makeup on Anna's face. She is very upset. She says, "Anna, what did you do? You broke my lipstick and made a mess. You are not allowed to play with my makeup. You have to ask me first. And you have to be careful with things that are not yours."
+
+Anna feels bad. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to look like you. You are so pretty. I like your makeup. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Her mom sighs. She says, "I'm not mad at you, Anna. I love you. But you have to learn to respect my things and follow the rules. Makeup is not a toy. It is for grown-ups. And you are already pretty without it. You don't need it to look like a princess. You are my princess."
+
+She hugs Anna and wipes the makeup off her face. She says, "Now let's go and clean up the mess. And next time, if you want to play with makeup, you can ask me and we can do it together. OK?"
+
+Anna nods. She says, "OK, mom. Thank you. I love you too."
+
+They go and clean up the mess. Anna learns her lesson. She does not play with her mom's makeup without asking again. She is happy to play with her own toys and to look like herself. She is a good girl.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to smell the flowers and look for bugs. Lily saw a big green plant with small leaves. She picked one and smelled it. It smelled fresh and nice.
+
+"Look, Ben, this is mint. It is good for tea and ice cream. Do you want to try?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben nodded and took a leaf from Lily. He put it in his mouth and made a face. It was strong and spicy. He did not like it.
+
+"Blech! This is not good, Lily. It makes my tongue burn. I want water!" Ben said.
+
+Lily laughed and gave him her water bottle. She liked mint, but she knew not everyone did. She saw a puddle near the mint plant. It was wet and shiny. She had an idea.
+
+"Let's play in the puddle, Ben. It will make you feel better. Come on, follow me!" Lily said.
+
+She ran to the puddle and jumped in. She splashed water with her feet and made a sound. She felt cool and happy. She looked back at Ben and waved.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it is fun. Step in the puddle with me!" Lily said.
+
+Ben was still holding his water bottle. He was not sure if he wanted to play in the puddle. He did not like to get wet and dirty. But he saw Lily having fun and he wanted to join her. He put down his water bottle and walked to the puddle. He stepped in with one foot and felt the water on his shoe. He smiled and stepped in with the other foot. He splashed water with Lily and made a sound. He felt cool and happy too.
+
+They played in the puddle until their mom called them for lunch. They ran to the house and dried their feet with a towel. They ate sandwiches and fruit and drank more water. They thanked their mom and told her about the mint and the puddle. Their mom smiled and hugged them. She was glad they had fun in the garden. She gave them a kiss and a cookie and sent them back to play. They ran to the garden and looked for more things to smell and see. They were happy and curious. They were Lily and Ben.

+
+One day, a new player comes to the field. His name is Tom. He is big and strong. He has shiny hair and white teeth. Sara thinks he is attractive. She wants to play with him.
+
+"Hi, Tom. Do you want to play soccer with us?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, why not?" Tom says. He smiles at Sara. Ben feels angry. He likes Sara. He thinks Tom is not nice.
+
+They start to play. Tom is very good. He can run faster than anyone. He can score many goals. He does not pass the ball to anyone. He does not say sorry when he pushes or kicks someone. He only cares about himself.
+
+Ben tries to stop Tom. He runs after him. He tackles him. He takes the ball from him. Tom falls down. He gets up. He is very angry. He shouts at Ben.
+
+"Hey, you! That was not fair! You are a bad player! You are a bad friend! You are ugly and stupid!" Tom says.

+
+Sara hears Tom. She sees Ben. She feels sorry for Ben. She feels angry at Tom. She runs to Ben. She hugs him. She says to Tom.
+
+"Tom, you are wrong. Ben is a good player. Ben is a good friend. Ben is nice and smart. You are the bad one. You are mean and selfish. You are not attractive. You are ugly inside. Go away. We do not want to play with you."
+
+Tom feels surprised. He feels ashamed. He feels lonely. He does not say anything. He turns around. He walks away. He does not look back.
+

+
+"Let's go away," Tom says. "The dog is bad."
+
+"No, let's stay," Sam says. "The dog is harmless. It just wants to play."
+
+Tom and Sam decide to stay. They throw the ball to each other. The dog runs after the ball. It catches the ball in its mouth. It brings the ball back to Tom and Sam. It wags its tail and barks.
+
+"See, the dog is nice," Sam says. "It likes baseball too."
+
+Tom and Sam smile. They pet the dog and play with it. They make a new friend. They are not scared of the dog anymore. They have fun.
+Sara and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Tom has a car. Sara likes to pretend that her doll is a princess and Tom likes to make his car zoom and crash.
+
+"Tom, stop making noise!" Sara says. "My princess needs to sleep. She is very tired."
+
+"But I want to play with my car!" Tom says. "It is fun. You can play with me too."
+
+"No, I don't want to play with your car. It is boring. You have to play with my doll. She is very pretty and nice." Sara says. She grabs Tom's car and puts it on the shelf. She gives him her doll and says, "Here, hold her and be quiet."
+
+Tom does not like this. He does not want to hold Sara's doll. He wants his car back. He feels angry and sad. He says, "Sara, give me my car! I demand my car! It is mine!"
+
+Sara does not listen. She says, "No, you have to stay with my doll. She is your friend. You have to be nice to her."
+
+Tom does not want to be nice to Sara's doll. He wants to be mean to her. He says, "Your doll is not my friend. She is sour. She has a sour face and a sour dress. She smells sour too." He throws the doll on the floor and runs to the shelf. He takes his car and says, "Ha! I have my car. It is cool and fast. It does not smell sour."
+
+Sara sees what Tom does. She feels angry and sad too. She says, "Tom, you are bad! You hurt my doll. You have to say sorry. You have to give me my car. I demand my car! It is mine!"
+
+Tom and Sara start to fight. They pull and push each other. They yell and cry. They make a big mess.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room. She sees Tom and Sara fighting. She sees the doll and the car on the floor. She sees the toys and the books everywhere. She feels mad and tired. She says, "Tom and Sara, stop fighting! You are both wrong. You have to share your toys. You have to be kind to each other. You have to clean up this mess. You have to stay in your room until dinner. No more playing today."
+
+Tom and Sara stop fighting. They look at Mom. They feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We are sorry."
+
+Mom says, "It's okay. I love you. But you have to learn to play nicely. Now, go to your room and think about what you did."

+
+She takes the ball from them and makes them sit on the bench. She says, "You have to say sorry to each other and to Lily. You have to hug and kiss and make up. You have to help me clean up the gym. You have to be friends. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Sam nod and say, "Yes, teacher. We are sorry. We are sorry, Lily. We are sorry, Sam. We are sorry, Ben. We will hug and kiss and make up. We will help you clean up the gym. We will be friends."

+Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big ball on the grass. It was red and shiny and bounced very high. Ben and Lily wanted to play with the ball, so they ran to get it.
+
+They had fun with the ball, throwing it, kicking it, and rolling it. They did not see the boy who was looking for his ball. He was sad and angry, because he loved his ball and it was a gift from his dad. He asked other kids if they saw his ball, but no one knew.
+
+Ben and Lily were tired of playing with the ball, so they decided to go home. They took the ball with them, because they liked it so much. They did not think about the boy who lost his ball.
+
+When they got home, they tried to fit the ball in their toy boxes, but it was too big. They tried to hide it under their beds, but it was too round. They tried to put it in their closets, but it was too bright. They did not know what to do with the ball.
+
+Then, they heard a knock on the door. It was the boy who was looking for his ball. He saw the ball through the window and recognized it. He asked Ben and Lily to give him back his ball, because it was his and he missed it.
+
+Ben and Lily felt bad for taking the ball. They realized they were wrong and they were sorry. They gave the ball back to the boy and said they were sorry. The boy was happy and thanked them. He said they could play with his ball in the park, if they asked him first.
+
+Ben and Lily learned a lesson. They learned that they should not take things that belong to others, and that they should return them if they do. They learned that sharing is better than stealing, and that being honest is better than lying. They became friends with the boy and played with his ball in the park. They had more fun than before, because they did not feel guilty. They were happy and proud of themselves.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big kangaroo with a baby in her pouch. They wanted to touch the kangaroo, but their mom said no.
+
+"Kangaroos can kick and bite. They are not pets. You have to be careful and stay away from them," mom said.
+
+But Tom and Lily did not listen. They waited until mom was talking to another mom. Then they ran to the kangaroo. They tried to pet her fur and look at her baby.
+
+The kangaroo did not like that. She felt scared and angry. She kicked Tom with her strong legs. She bit Lily with her sharp teeth. Tom and Lily cried out loud. They had terrible pain.
+
+Mom heard them and ran to them. She picked them up and hugged them. She checked their wounds and said sorry to the kangaroo.
+
+"You should never lie to me and do things I tell you not to do. Kangaroos are wild animals. They need space and respect. You could have been hurt very badly," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily said sorry to mom and to the kangaroo. They learned their lesson. They never lied to mom again. They never bothered the kangaroo again. They played with their toys and their friends instead.
+Anna and Ben liked to play restaurant in the backyard. They had a grill, some plates, and some pretend food. Anna was the chef and Ben was the waiter. They took turns to order and cook for each other.
+
+One day, Ben wanted to order something special. He looked at the menu and saw pizza, burger, and salad. He thought hard. He wanted to surprise Anna with something she liked. He was very thoughtful. He remembered that Anna liked cheese and tomatoes. He decided to order a cheese and tomato sandwich.
+
+He told Anna his order and she smiled. She was happy that Ben knew what she liked. She went to the grill and put some bread, cheese, and tomatoes on it. She waited for a few minutes until the cheese melted and the bread was crispy. She cut the sandwich in half and put it on a plate. She added some ketchup and a napkin.
+
+She brought the plate to Ben and said, "Here is your cheese and tomato sandwich, sir. Enjoy your meal." Ben thanked her and took a big bite. He liked it very much. He said, "This is delicious, Anna. You are a great chef. Thank you for making me this sandwich."
+
+Anna and Ben smiled at each other. They were happy to play restaurant and to be kind to each other. They finished their sandwiches and then switched roles. Anna ordered a chocolate cake and Ben made it for her. They had a lot of fun and ate a lot of yummy food.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play hide and seek. One day, they play in the park with their mom. Mom says, "I will count to ten and you go hide. Then I will find you."
+
+Sara and Ben run to find a good spot. Sara sees a big tree with many leaves. She runs behind the tree and crouches down. Ben sees a gray bench near a fountain. He runs to the bench and lies down under it.
+
+Mom finishes counting and says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She walks around the park and looks for Sara and Ben. She hears a splash and sees the fountain. She thinks, "Maybe Ben is hiding near the water." She walks to the fountain and peeks under the bench. She sees Ben's feet and says, "I found you, Ben!"
+
+Ben giggles and gets up. He says, "You are good at finding, Mom." Mom says, "Thank you, Ben. Now let's find Sara." They walk to the tree and peek behind it. They see Sara's hair and say, "I found you, Sara!"
+
+Sara smiles and gets up. She says, "You are good at finding, too, Mom and Ben." Mom says, "Thank you, Sara. You are good at hiding." They hug and say, "We love you."
+
+Then they hear a strange sound. It sounds like a bird, but not a bird they know. They look up and see a big, colorful bird on the tree. The bird says, "Hello, hello, hello." They are surprised and say, "Hello, bird." The bird says, "I am a parrot. I can talk. I know many languages."
+
+Sara and Ben are curious and ask, "What is a language?" Mom says, "A language is a way of talking. Different people and animals have different languages. You and I speak English, but the parrot can speak other languages, too."
+
+The parrot says, "Yes, yes, yes. I can speak Spanish, French, Chinese, and more. Do you want to hear?" Sara and Ben say, "Yes, please." The parrot says, "Hola, bonjour, ni hao, and more." Sara and Ben laugh and try to repeat the words. Mom says, "Wow, you are very smart, parrot. Where did you learn all these languages?"
+
+The parrot says, "I learned from my friends. I have many friends in the zoo. They teach me their languages. I like to learn new words. Do you want to be my friends?" Sara and Ben say, "Yes, we do. We like to learn new words, too." Mom says, "That's wonderful. We are happy to be your friends, parrot. What is your name?"
+
+The parrot says, "My name is Polly. What are your names?" Sara and Ben say, "My name is Sara. My name is Ben. And this is our mom." Polly says, "Nice to meet you, Sara, Ben, and Mom. You are very nice. Do you want to play with me?" Sara and Ben say, "Yes, we do. What do you want to play?" Polly says, "How about hide and seek? I am good at hiding and finding. Can I join you?" Sara and Ben say, "Yes, you can. We love hide and seek. Let's play!"
+
+They all agree and start a new game of hide and seek. They take turns hiding and finding each other. They have a lot of fun and learn new words. They are happy to have a new friend. Polly is happy to have new friends, too. They play until it is time to go home. They say goodbye and promise to visit again. They hug and say, "We love you."
+Anna and Ben were on the same team for the jumping game. They had to jump over the ropes and touch the cones. The team with the most cones at the end would win.
+
+Anna was very good at jumping. She could jump high and far. She liked to show off her jumps to the other kids. Ben was not so good at jumping. He was scared of falling and hurting himself. He did not like to jump over the ropes.
+
+"Come on, Ben, jump!" Anna said. "We need to get more cones. The other team is ahead of us."
+
+"I don't want to jump," Ben said. "It's too hard. I can't do it."
+
+"Yes, you can," Anna said. "You just have to try. Jumping is fun. Look at me. I can jump like this." She jumped over a rope and touched a cone. She smiled.
+
+Ben looked at Anna. He felt sad. He wished he could jump like her. He felt like he was letting his team down. He wanted to be brave and have fun.
+
+He took a deep breath. He decided to try. He ran towards a rope. He lifted his feet. He jumped.
+
+But he jumped too late. He tripped over the rope. He fell on the ground. He scraped his knee. He cried.
+
+Anna heard Ben cry. She ran to him. She saw his knee. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you jump. I just wanted to help our team."
+
+Ben looked at Anna. He saw her sorry face. He felt better. He stopped crying.
+
+"It's okay, Anna," he said. "You were trying to be a good team mate. You are very good at jumping. You are unique."
+
+Anna smiled. She hugged Ben. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. You are unique too. You don't have to jump like me. You can jump in your own way. You are still part of our team."
+
+They got up. They held hands. They walked to the cones. They touched them together. They cheered.
+
+The other team saw them. They clapped. They said, "Good job, Anna and Ben. You are a great team. You are unique."
+Tom and Ben are brothers. They like to play in the woods. They find a big stick and a sharp stone. They make an axe with the stick and the stone. They are happy.
+
+They see a deer in the woods. The deer is brown and has horns. Tom and Ben want to catch the deer. They run after the deer with their axe. The deer is fast and runs away.
+
+They see a man in the woods. The man has a bow and arrows. He is hunting the deer. He sees Tom and Ben with their axe. He is angry.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing with that axe? That is dangerous! Give it to me!" the man shouts.
+
+"No, it is ours! We made it! We want to catch the deer!" Tom and Ben shout back.
+
+The man is very angry. He takes his bow and shoots an arrow at Tom and Ben. The arrow flies in the air. Tom and Ben are scared. They drop their axe and run away.
+
+The man misses Tom and Ben. He is still angry. He picks up their axe and breaks it. He throws the stick and the stone away. He goes back to hunting the deer.
+
+Tom and Ben go back to their home. They are sad. They lost their axe. They tell their mom what happened. Their mom hugs them and makes them cookies. She tells them not to play with sharp things. She tells them to be careful in the woods. She tells them to be nice to animals. She tells them to love each other. Tom and Ben are happy again. They eat their cookies and play with their toys. They forget about the man and the deer. They are brothers.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they lose their toys. Then they have to search for them.
+
+One day, they lose their red car. They look under the bed, in the closet, and behind the sofa. They cannot find the red car. They are sad.
+
+"Where is our red car?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe we left it in the store."
+
+They remember that they went to the store with Mommy yesterday. They saw many toys in the store. They wanted to buy them, but Mommy said no. They played with some toys, but they had to put them back.
+
+"Let's go to the store and look for our red car," Anna says.
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But we have to ask Mommy first."
+
+They run to Mommy and tell her their plan. Mommy smiles and says yes. She takes them to the store.
+
+They search for their red car in the toy aisle. They see many cars, but not their red car. They are sad again.
+
+"Maybe someone took our red car," Ben says.
+
+"Or maybe we left it somewhere else," Anna says.
+
+They keep searching. They look in the book aisle, the candy aisle, and the clothes aisle. They do not see their red car.
+
+They are about to give up, when they see something shiny in the corner. They run to it. It is their red car!
+
+But it is very dirty. It has dust, dirt, and sticky stuff on it. It looks like someone stepped on it.
+
+"Yuck!" Anna says.
+
+"Ew!" Ben says.
+
+They pick up their red car and show it to Mommy. Mommy is happy that they found it, but she is not happy that it is dirty.
+
+She takes them to the bathroom and helps them wash their red car. She uses soap, water, and a towel. She makes their red car clean and shiny again.
+
+They are happy. They hug their red car and thank Mommy.
+
+They go home and play with their red car. They do not lose it again. They are careful with their toys. They are good twins.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was barking and running towards them. Anna and Ben were scared. They dropped their ball and ran away.
+
+"Help! Help!" they cried. "The dog is going to bite us!"
+
+A man heard their cries and came to see what was wrong. He saw the dog and smiled. He called the dog by its name and petted it. The dog wagged its tail and licked his hand.
+
+"Don't be afraid, children," the man said. "This is my dog, Max. He is harmless. He just wanted to play with your ball. He loves balls."
+
+Anna and Ben stopped running and looked at the dog. The dog looked friendly and happy. They felt silly for being scared.
+
+"Can we play with your dog, sir?" Anna asked.
+
+"Of course you can," the man said. "But first, you have to learn something. Not all dogs are mean and dangerous. Some dogs are nice and gentle. You have to use your wisdom to tell the difference. Wisdom is when you know things that help you make good choices. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They understood. They learned a new word and a new lesson. They thanked the man and went to play with Max. They threw the ball and Max fetched it. They had fun and made a new friend. They did not tremble anymore. They were brave and smart.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find shiny things. One day, they found a big crystal. It was black and sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lila said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can I hold it?" Tom asked.
+
+"Okay, but be careful. It is heavy and sharp." Lila said. She gave the crystal to Tom.
+
+Tom held the crystal in his hands. He felt its edges and corners. He tried to see his face in it. But he was not careful. He dropped the crystal on the ground. It broke into many pieces.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom cried. "I broke it! I'm sorry, Lila!"
+
+Lila was sad. She liked the crystal. She picked up the pieces and looked at them. They were still shiny, but not as pretty as before.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. It was an accident." Lila said. "Maybe we can fix it."
+
+"How?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe we can glue it back together. Or make something new with it. Like a necklace or a bracelet." Lila said.
+
+"Really?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, really. Come on, let's go to the house and find some glue and string." Lila said.
+
+They ran to the house, holding the pieces of the crystal. They hoped they could fix it or make something new with it. They still liked the black crystal. It was their treasure.
+Tom likes to whistle. He whistles when he plays, when he walks, when he eats. He whistles loud and soft, high and low, fast and slow. He whistles happy songs and sad songs, old songs and new songs. He whistles all the time.
+
+One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He sees a big slide, a swing, a sandbox, and a pond. He whistles with joy and runs to the slide. He slides down and up, down and up, again and again. He whistles louder and louder.
+
+But then, he hears a buzz. A tiny bug flies near his ear. It is a mosquito. It wants to bite Tom. Tom does not like mosquitoes. He tries to shoo it away, but it follows him. He runs to the swing, but it is still there. He runs to the sandbox, but it is still there. He runs to the pond, but it is still there. He whistles louder and louder, but it does not help.
+
+Tom is scared and angry. He looks for his mom, but he cannot see her. She is hidden behind a tree. She is reading a book. She does not hear Tom or the mosquito. Tom feels alone and sad. He stops whistling.
+
+The mosquito sees that Tom is quiet. It thinks that Tom is tired. It thinks that it is a good time to bite Tom. It flies closer and closer to Tom's ear. It is ready to bite.
+
+But then, Tom hears a splash. A big frog jumps out of the pond. It has a long tongue. It sees the mosquito. It likes to eat mosquitoes. It snaps its tongue and catches the mosquito. It swallows the mosquito. It croaks with satisfaction.
+
+Tom sees the frog. He is surprised and happy. He thinks that the frog is his friend. He whistles with joy and thanks the frog. The frog croaks back and winks at Tom. Tom smiles and runs to his mom. He tells her about the frog and the mosquito. She hugs him and kisses him. She tells him that he is brave and smart. She tells him that she loves him. He tells her that he loves her too. He whistles a happy song.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they do not like to eat dinner. They think dinner is yucky and boring.
+
+One day, Mom makes dinner for them. She puts two plates on the table. One has chicken and rice. The other has fish and peas. She says, "Anna and Ben, come and eat your dinner. It is good for you."
+
+Anna and Ben do not want to eat their dinner. They say, "No, thank you, Mom. We are not hungry. We want to play."
+
+Mom says, "You have to eat your dinner. You need to grow big and strong. And you have to try new foods. You might like them."
+
+Anna and Ben shake their heads. They have a plan. They cover their plates with napkins. They say, "Look, Mom. We ate our dinner. Can we go and play now?"
+
+Mom is not fooled. She lifts the napkins and sees the food. She says, "Anna and Ben, you are naughty. You did not eat your dinner. You lied to me. That is not kind."
+
+Anna and Ben feel bad. They know they did something wrong. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to lie. We just do not like dinner."
+
+Mom says, "I understand. But you have to eat something. How about this? You can choose one thing from your plate and eat it. Then you can have some fruit for dessert. And then you can play."
+
+Anna and Ben think about it. They decide to try. Anna chooses the rice. Ben chooses the fish. They eat a little bit. They say, "It is not so bad. Maybe we can try more next time."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That is very good. I am proud of you. You are kind. You are brave. You are my sweet twins."
+
+She gives them some apples and bananas. They eat them happily. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you."
+
+They hug Mom and then go and play. They have fun with their toys and books. They are happy. They are full. They are ready for bed.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big puddle near the road. They wanted to jump in it and splash water. But their mom said no. She said the puddle was dirty and they could get sick. She said they had to stay away from the road and the cars. She said if they were good, they would get a reward.
+
+Tim and Sam did not listen to their mom. They thought the puddle looked fun. They ran to the puddle and jumped in it. They soaked their clothes and shoes. They laughed and shouted. They did not see the car coming fast. The car hit a bump and splashed more water on them. The water was fierce and hurt their eyes. They cried and ran back to their mom.
+
+Their mom was angry and worried. She scolded them for being naughty and careless. She said they could have been hurt by the car. She said they had to change their clothes and shoes. She said they would not get a reward. They would get a time out.
+
+Tim and Sam felt sorry and sad. They said they were sorry to their mom. They said they would not do it again. They said they would listen to their mom. They said they loved their mom.
+
+Their mom hugged them and said she loved them too. She said she was glad they were safe. She said they still had to do their time out. But she said after that, they could have a reward. She said she had a surprise for them. She said it was something they liked very much.
+
+Tim and Sam wondered what the surprise was. They hoped it was something good. They did their time out and waited for their mom. They learned their lesson. They learned to obey their mom and stay away from danger. They learned that being good had a reward.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Tim went first and slid down fast. He laughed and said, "That was fun! Your turn, Sam!"
+
+Sam nodded and climbed up the ladder. He was about to slide down when he saw a shiny thing on the slide. He picked it up and looked at it. It was a knife. He did not know what it was for, but he thought it was pretty.
+
+"Look, Tim, I found a knife!" he shouted, holding it up.
+
+Tim saw the knife and felt scared. He knew it was dangerous and could hurt someone. He ran to Sam and tried to take it from him.
+
+"Give me that, Sam! That's not a toy! That's a knife!" he said.
+
+Sam did not like Tim telling him what to do. He wanted to keep the knife. He pulled it away from Tim and said, "No, it's mine! I found it! Go away!"
+
+Tim did not go away. He tried to grab the knife again. Sam got angry and pushed him. Tim fell off the slide and hit his head on the ground. He did not get up. He did not move. He did not make any sound.
+
+Sam saw Tim lying on the ground and felt sorry. He dropped the knife and ran to him. He shook him and called his name. But Tim did not answer. Sam started to cry. He did not know what to do.
+
+A lady who was walking her dog saw what happened and ran to help. She saw the knife and the blood and the boys. She called 911 and tried to stop the bleeding. But it was too late. Tim was gone. Sam had killed him with the knife.
+
+The lady hugged Sam and said, "I'm so sorry, Sam. This is very bad. You should never play with knives. They are not for children. They are for grown-ups who know how to use them. You made a big mistake. A very big mistake."
+
+Sam nodded and cried harder. He wished he had listened to Tim. He wished he had given him the knife. He wished he had not pushed him. He wished he could say sorry. He wished he could make him alive again. But he could not. He had done something very bad. Something he could not fix. He was not smart. He was very dumb. And he was very sad.
+Lily and Tom were curious kids. They liked to explore and ask questions. One day, they found a big red phone in the park. It was near a station where trains stopped.
+
+"Who do you think this phone is for?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe it is for the train people," Tom said. "Or maybe it is for emergencies."
+
+Lily picked up the phone and pressed a button. She heard a voice.
+
+"Hello, this is the fire station. What is your emergency?"
+
+Lily was scared. She did not know what to say. She dropped the phone and ran away.
+
+Tom was curious. He picked up the phone and said, "Hello, fire station. I am Tom. I am not in trouble. I just wanted to say hi."
+
+The voice was not happy. It said, "This is not a toy, kid. This phone is for serious calls only. Do not call us again unless you need help."
+
+Tom was sorry. He said, "I am sorry, fire station. I did not know. I will not call you again. Goodbye."
+
+He hung up the phone and ran after Lily. They decided to play somewhere else. They learned that some things are not for fun. They should only call the fire station if there is a fire.
+Tommy loved to draw with his crayons. He had many colors and he made original pictures of his family, his friends and his toys. He liked to show his pictures to his mommy and daddy and they always praised him.
+
+One day, Tommy found a new crayon in his box. It was shiny and sparkly and it looked very pretty. Tommy wanted to try it and see what it could do. He took the crayon and started to draw on his bedroom wall. He made stars and flowers and rainbows. He was very happy.
+
+But then, his mommy came in and saw what he had done. She was very angry and she shouted at him. She said he was a naughty boy and he had ruined the wall. She took away his crayons and said he could not draw anymore. She said he had to clean the wall and say sorry.
+
+Tommy was very sad and he cried. He did not understand why his mommy was so mad. He thought he had made a beautiful picture. He wished he had never used the new crayon. He wished he had listened to his mommy when she had reminded him to only draw on paper. He learned a hard lesson that day.
+Sara liked to design things with her toys. She had many blocks, dolls, cars and books. She could make houses, bridges, roads and stories with them. She was very creative and happy.
+
+One day, she saw a flashlight in her dad's drawer. It was big and shiny and had a button. She wanted to play with it, but her dad said no. He said it was expensive and not a toy. He said it could break or run out of power. He said she could hurt her eyes or start a fire. He said she had to leave it alone.
+
+Sara was sad and curious. She wondered what the flashlight could do. She waited until her dad was busy in the kitchen. She sneaked into his room and took the flashlight. She ran to her playroom and closed the door. She turned off the light and pressed the button.
+
+The flashlight made a bright beam of light. Sara was amazed and excited. She moved the flashlight around and saw different shapes and colors on the wall. She pretended she was a detective, a painter, a dancer and a star. She had so much fun with the flashlight. She forgot about her dad and the time.
+
+Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. It was her dad. He sounded angry and worried. He asked her what she was doing. He opened the door and saw the flashlight in her hand. He was very upset and disappointed. He took the flashlight from her and turned on the light. He scolded her for disobeying him and taking his expensive flashlight. He told her she could have damaged it or hurt herself. He told her she had to apologize and go to bed without dinner.
+
+Sara felt ashamed and sorry. She knew she had done something wrong. She said she was sorry and hugged her dad. She asked him to forgive her and to let her keep the flashlight. She said she loved it and wanted to design more things with it. She said she would be careful and responsible.
+
+Her dad sighed and smiled. He loved his daughter and knew she was curious and creative. He said he forgave her and he was proud of her. He said he would let her keep the flashlight, but only if she promised to follow his rules. He said she had to ask him before using it, only use it in the playroom, and turn it off when she was done. He said he would also teach her how the flashlight worked and why it was expensive.
+
+Sara agreed and thanked her dad. She was happy and relieved. She said she would follow his rules and learn from him. She said she would design more things with the flashlight and show him. She said she loved him and the flashlight. They hugged and kissed. They went to the kitchen and had dinner together. They talked and laughed. They were a happy family.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to mail letters to her friends. She had many stickers and crayons to make her letters pretty. One day, she found a caterpillar on a leaf in her garden. She thought it was very cute and wanted to share it with her friend Sam.
+
+She put the caterpillar in a small box with some holes and some leaves. She wrote a letter to Sam and told him about the caterpillar. She put the letter and the box in a big envelope and went to the mail box. She was very happy and hoped Sam would like her gift.
+
+But the next day, she felt worried. She wondered if the caterpillar was okay in the box. She wondered if Sam would take good care of it. She wondered if the caterpillar would miss her and the garden. She wished she could see the caterpillar again.
+
+She ran to the mail box and asked the mail man if he had mailed her envelope. He said he had, but it would take a few days to reach Sam. Lily felt sad and sorry. She realized she had made a mistake. She should not have mailed the caterpillar. She should have let it stay in the garden where it belonged.
+
+She learned a lesson that day. She learned that some things are not meant to be mailed. She learned that some things are better left alone. She learned that some things are more precious than gifts. She learned to respect and love nature. She hoped the caterpillar would be safe and happy. She hoped Sam would understand. She hoped she would find another way to show her friendship.
+Ben and Lily went to the pizza place with Mom and Dad. They liked pizza very much. They sat at a big table and looked at the menu.
+
+"What do you want to order, Ben?" Mom asked.
+
+"I want cheese pizza with sauce," Ben said.
+
+"What about you, Lily?" Dad asked.
+
+"I want cheese pizza with sauce, too," Lily said.
+
+"Okay, two cheese pizzas with sauce, coming up," Dad said. He told the pizza man what they wanted.
+
+Soon, the pizza man brought their pizzas. They smelled very good. Ben and Lily took big bites.
+
+"Mmm, this is yummy," Ben said.
+
+"Yes, it is," Lily said.
+
+But then, Lily saw something on her pizza. It was green and round. She did not know what it was.
+
+"What is this?" she asked, pointing at it.
+
+"That is an olive," Mom said. "It is a kind of fruit that some people like on pizza. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Lily looked at the olive. It looked interesting. She decided to try it. She picked it up and put it in her mouth.
+
+She made a funny face. She did not like it. It was sour and salty.
+
+"Blech, I don't like it," she said. She spit it out on her plate.
+
+Ben laughed. He thought it was funny.
+
+"More sauce for me, then," he said. He took the olive from Lily's plate and ate it. He liked it.
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not understand how Ben could like it.
+
+She took another bite of her pizza. She liked it better without olives.
+
+She smiled at Ben. He smiled back.
+
+They finished their pizzas and drank their juice. They had a good time at the pizza place.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. They saw a big post near the fence. It was brown and tall.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"It is a post," Ben said. "It holds the fence."
+
+Lily wanted to touch the post. She was nosy. She walked to the post and put her hand on it. It was hot. She felt a pain.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cried. "The post burns!"
+
+Ben ran to Lily. He saw smoke coming from the post. He was scared.
+
+"Fire! Fire!" Ben shouted. "We need to get help!"
+
+He took Lily's hand and ran to the house. He knocked on the door. Mom opened it.
+
+"What is wrong?" Mom asked.
+
+"The post burns!" Ben said. "There is fire in the garden!"
+
+Mom looked at the garden. She saw the fire. She was shocked.
+
+"Oh no!" Mom said. "We need to call the firemen!"
+
+She took Lily and Ben inside. She called the firemen. She put some ice on Lily's hand. She hugged them.
+
+"Don't worry," Mom said. "The firemen will come and put out the fire. You are brave and smart. But next time, don't touch things that are hot. They can burn you and hurt you."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They learned a lesson. They were sorry for being nosy. They waited for the firemen. They hoped the post and the fence would be okay.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play cops and robbers. They had toy guns and badges and hats. One day, they decided to play in the park with their friends. But the sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain.
+
+"Maybe we should go home," Lily said. "I don't like the dark clouds."
+
+"No, let's stay and play," Tom said. "We can pretend the clouds are bad guys and we have to catch them."
+
+"But what if it rains?" Lily asked. "We will get wet and cold."
+
+Tom saw that Lily was scared. He wanted to encourage her to have fun. He thought of something to say.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a big tree over there. If it rains, we can hide under the tree and be safe. And we can still play cops and robbers. We can pretend the tree is our station and we have to protect it from the bad guys. Come on, Lily, it will be fun."
+
+Lily looked at the tree. It was big and green and had many branches. She thought it looked like a good place to hide. She also liked the idea of playing cops and robbers with Tom and their friends. She smiled and nodded.
+
+"Okay, Tom, let's go to the tree and play. But you have to be my partner, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Lily, I will be your partner. We will be the best cops ever. Come on, let's go."
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the tree and joined their friends. They played cops and robbers until the rain stopped and the sun came out. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the gloomy clouds. They were happy and brave.
+Lily liked to mail letters to her friends. She had many friends who lived far away. She used crayons and stickers to make her letters pretty. She also liked to draw pictures of her favorite animal, the elephant. She loved elephants because they were big and strong and independent. They could do many things by themselves.
+
+One day, Lily got a letter back from her friend Sam. Sam lived in Africa. He wrote that he saw a real elephant in the park. He sent Lily a photo of the elephant. Lily was very happy and excited. She wanted to see the elephant too.
+
+She ran to her mom and showed her the letter and the photo. She asked, "Mom, can we go to Africa and see the elephant?"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "That would be wonderful, but we can't go right now. Africa is very far away. We need a lot of money and time to go there. Maybe when you are older, we can go together."
+
+Lily felt sad. She really wanted to see the elephant. She said, "But mom, I want to see the elephant now. Can't we mail ourselves to Africa?"
+
+Mom laughed and said, "No, we can't mail ourselves to Africa. That's not how mail works. Mail is for letters and packages, not for people. Besides, it would be very uncomfortable and dangerous to be in a box for so long. You wouldn't like it."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "OK, mom, I understand. But can we mail the elephant a letter? Maybe he would like to be my friend too."
+
+Mom nodded and said, "Sure, we can mail the elephant a letter. That's a very nice idea. Why don't you write him a letter and tell him about yourself and your love for elephants? Maybe you can also draw him a picture of yourself and your family. I'm sure he would appreciate it."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "OK, mom, I will do that. Thank you, mom. You are the best."
+
+She ran to her room and got her crayons and paper. She wrote and drew a letter for the elephant. She hoped he would write back to her soon. She put the letter in an envelope and wrote his name and address. She gave the letter to mom and said, "Please mail this to the elephant, mom. I can't wait to hear from him."
+
+Mom took the letter and said, "OK, Lily, I will mail this to the elephant. I'm proud of you for being so kind and curious. You are a wonderful girl."
+
+She kissed Lily and said, "I love you, Lily."
+
+Lily hugged mom and said, "I love you too, mom. And I love the elephant."
+Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to learn how to cook and bake yummy things. One day, her mom was making a cake and Lily asked if she could help.
+
+"Of course, you can help, Lily," her mom said. "But you have to be very careful. The stove is hot and you can get hurt if you touch it. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will not touch the stove."
+
+Her mom gave her a big hug and said, "Good girl. Now, you can help me by waving this spoon and mixing the batter in this bowl. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I can do that." She took the spoon and started to wave it in the bowl. She felt happy and proud to help her mom.
+
+But then, she saw something shiny on the stove. It was a silver fork that her mom had used to crack the eggs. Lily thought it looked pretty and wanted to see it closer. She forgot what her mom had told her and reached for the fork.
+
+"Ouch!" she cried. She had touched the hot stove and burned her hand. She dropped the spoon and the batter and started to cry.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and ran to her. She saw what had happened and quickly took Lily to the sink. She ran cold water over her hand and wrapped it in a soft cloth.
+

+
+Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can play together. You are good friends. You can learn from each other and have fun. You can print more things if you want. But remember to use your words and not your hands when you disagree. And remember to say please and thank you when you share. OK?"

+Once upon a time there was a planet in the sky. The planet was very fragile.
+
+Two friends were walking along, looking up at the sky. "Wow!" one of them said, "That planet up there looks fragile!"
+
+The other one nodded thoughtfully. "Yes," he said. "I bet if I reversed really fast then it would come hurtling down."
+
+The other one smiled. "Let's try it!" he said.
+
+So the two friends both held their breath and started to reverse really fast. Nothing happened. 
+
+Just then, a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky. "Look! It worked!" said the first one.
+
+The planet had become close enough for them to touch. It was so fragile that it had broken apart in the sky when the boys reversed.
+
+They hadn't expected this, but it felt magical. It was like they were little gods, able to make a planet appear just by reversing.
+Once upon a time there was a little boy. He was walking through the forest, looking for fruit. He thought it would be nice to have some fruit for his snack. Then he saw a beautiful apple tree. It had so many yummy apples! He reached up and grabbed a few.
+
+Just then, a voice called out, "Those are mine!" The little boy was scared. He looked up and saw a big bear. The bear was wearing a tight orange dress.
+
+The bear said, "Give me those apples!" The little boy was very scared and he quickly tried to run away. But the bear was fast. He grabbed the apples back and said, "These apples will unite us!"
+
+The little boy was very afraid. He knew the bear wanted to eat him. So he cried and ran away as fast as he could. The bear just snorted at him and walked away.
+
+The little boy never saw the bear again. But he did learn a lesson - never take things that don't belong to you! And never trust a bear who wants to unite with you.
+Once upon a time there was a little boy with a big wish. He wanted to see the sun shine. Every day he asked his mom, "Mommy, can I see the sun shine?" But his mom said, "Not today, sweetheart. Someday you can, but not today."
+
+One day, he was watching from the window when he saw a light path. He told his mom and she said, "Well, that looks like a good way to see the sun shine. Let's go!"
+
+So they followed the light path until it led them to a tree. In the tree there was a nest and in the nest was a little bird. The bird said, "If you want to see the sun shine, you have to climb the tree and get my egg."
+
+The little boy asked his mom if he could climb the tree and she said yes. He climbed the tree and reached the nest. But when he tried to take the egg, the bird said, "No! If you take my egg, the sun will never shine again!"
+
+The little boy was so scared that he let go of the egg and scrambled down the tree. But it was too late - the sun never shone again. The little boy was so sad that he never wished to see the sun shine again.

+
+Jenny went back outside and reached for a rose. Right then, her mom's voice boomed from the window. "NO, JENNY!" Jenny stopped and knew that she had made her mom mad. She ran inside and gave her mom a big hug.
+
+Jenny learned that sometimes grownups make rules for a reason, even if they seem "stupid". From then on, she never tried to touch the roses without her mom's permission.

+The family reluctantly tried the food and the results were terrible. Everyone started to complain.
+
+"This food is horrible!" they all said.

+
+The other frog said, “Let me help.†He took the file in his hands and spun it around. He showed the first frog how to hold the file, then started to spin it around again.
+
+The frogs kept spinning the file until suddenly, it flew out of the frog’s hands and plopped into the pond!
+
+The frogs felt so sad. One said, “Why did we have to be so greedy? Now the file is gone and we can’t play with it anymore.â€

+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks and draw with crayons. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They want to see what is inside.
+
+They try to open the box, but it is hard. They pull and push, but the box does not move. They struggle a lot, but they cannot open it.
+
+"Maybe we need a key," Lily says.
+
+"Where can we find a key?" Tom asks.
+
+They look around and see a circle on the box. It is shiny and light. They think it is a keyhole.
+
+"Maybe this is where we put the key," Lily says.
+
+They try to find something that looks like a key. They try a stick, a spoon, a coin, but nothing fits. They are sad and tired.
+
+Then, they hear a voice from inside the box.
+
+"Hello, can you help me?" the voice says.
+
+Lily and Tom are surprised and scared. They wonder who is in the box.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asks.
+
+"I am a toy. I am stuck in the box. Can you please open it?" the voice says.
+
+Lily and Tom are curious and excited. They want to see the toy.
+
+"How can we open it?" Tom asks.
+
+"You need a special key. It is in the shape of a star. It is under the tree," the voice says.
+
+Lily and Tom run to the tree and look for the star key. They find it and run back to the box. They put the key in the circle and turn it. The box opens and they see a toy robot.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, you are very kind," the robot says.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy and amazed. They hug the robot and play with it. They have a new friend.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they pretend to be wealthy kings and queens. They wear crowns made of paper and jewels made of stickers. They lead their people to a big castle made of cardboard.
+
+"Welcome to our castle!" Anna says to Ben. "We have many rooms and many things. Do you want to see?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben says. "You are a good queen. You lead very well."
+
+They go inside the castle. They see a room with a bed made of pillows and a blanket. They see a room with a table made of books and plates made of paper. They see a room with a closet made of boxes and clothes made of fabric.

+
+"This is our dining room," Ben says. "We eat here when we are hungry. We have a lot of food and a nice table."
+
+"This is our dressing room," Anna says. "We change here when we want to look different. We have many clothes and many colors."
+
+They try on different clothes and pretend to have a party. They dance and sing and laugh. They have a lot of fun.
+
+They are happy. They are wealthy. They are friends. They lead a good life.
+Lily was a lonely panda. She lived in a big zoo with many other animals, but she had no friends. She liked to eat bamboo and play with her ball, but she wished she had someone to share them with.
+
+One day, a new panda came to the zoo. His name was Ben. He was shy and scared. He did not know the zoo or the other animals. He missed his home and his family.
+
+Lily saw Ben in the next cage. She felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him. She rolled her ball to him and said, "Hi, I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben looked at Lily and the ball. He smiled a little. He rolled the ball back to her and said, "Hi, I am Ben. Thank you for being nice to me."
+
+Lily and Ben played with the ball for a long time. They had fun. They laughed and talked. They found out they liked the same things. They became friends.
+
+Lily was not lonely anymore. She had Ben. Ben was not scared anymore. He had Lily. They loved each other. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big guard with a hat and a stick. He was watching the gate. Tom had an idea.
+
+"Let's poke the guard and run away!" he said to Lily.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want to poke the guard. She thought he was bad and he would be angry.
+
+"No, Tom, that is not nice. The guard is doing his job. He will shout at us and tell our moms," she said to Tom.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran to the guard and poked him in the back. The guard turned around and saw Tom. He was very angry.
+
+"Hey, you bad boy! What are you doing? Stop poking me and go away!" he shouted at Tom.
+
+Tom was scared too. He ran away from the guard. He looked for Lily. But Lily was not there. She had gone to the swings. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She was mad at him.
+
+Tom was sad. He had lost his friend. He wished he had not poked the guard. He learned his lesson. He decided to be nice and not poke anyone again.
+Tom and Sam are best friends. They like to play with toy guns and pretend to be cowboys. They have hats and boots and belts with guns. They run and jump and hide and shoot.
+
+One day, they find a big zip in the wall of their playroom. They wonder what is behind the zip. They pull the zip and open a hole in the wall. They see a dark and dusty room with old boxes and bags. They are curious and excited.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up a shiny gun from a box. It looks like a real gun, but smaller. He points it at Sam and says, "Bang, bang, you're dead!"
+
+"Hey, don't do that!" Sam says. He is scared and angry. He thinks Tom is not jolly. He thinks Tom is mean. He grabs the gun from Tom and says, "Give me that! It's not a toy! It's dangerous!"
+
+But Tom does not listen. He tries to get the gun back from Sam. They fight and tug and push. The gun slips from their hands and falls on the floor. It makes a loud noise. It shoots a bullet. The bullet hits a bag. The bag explodes. It is full of fireworks. The fireworks fly and spark and crackle. They fill the room with light and smoke and noise.
+
+Tom and Sam are very scared. They drop the gun and run out of the hole. They zip the wall and hide under a blanket. They hug each other and cry. They are sorry for fighting. They are sorry for playing with the gun. They promise to never do it again. They hope no one finds out. They hope they are not in trouble.
+Mia was a young girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a ball and a car. She made them talk to each other and have fun. She also liked to draw with her crayons and make pictures for her mom and dad.
+
+One day, Mia was playing with her toys in her room. She heard her mom call her from the kitchen. "Mia, it's time for dinner. Come and wash your hands, please." Mia put her toys away and ran to the kitchen. She saw her mom had made her favorite food: pasta with cheese and broccoli. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love pasta."
+
+Mia ate her dinner and drank her milk. She told her mom and dad about her toys and her drawings. They listened and praised her. They also told her stories and jokes. Mia laughed and felt happy. She loved her mom and dad.

+
+Mia went to her room and climbed into her bed. She took her bear and cuddled with it. She felt warm and cozy. She closed her eyes and thought about her toys and her drawings. She also thought about her mom and dad and how they made her feel. She smiled and fell asleep. She had a good day.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has many things inside. They see tools, wires, batteries and lights.
+
+"Wow, look at all these things!" Tim says. "We can make something cool with them!"
+
+"Like what?" Sam asks.
+
+"Like a robot arm!" Tim says. "We can supply it with power and make it move!"
+
+Tim and Sam start to take things out of the box. They use a hammer, a screwdriver and some tape. They make a long arm with wires and a light at the end. They attach it to a battery.
+
+"Look, our robot arm is ready!" Tim says. "Let's try it!"
+
+Tim turns on the battery. The arm starts to move. It swings up and down. It makes a buzzing sound. The light flashes.
+
+"Wow, it works!" Sam says. "It's so cool!"
+
+But then, something goes wrong. The arm moves too fast. It hits the wall. It hits the shelf. It hits the box. Things fall down and break. The arm gets tangled in the wires. It sparks and smokes.
+
+"Uh-oh, this is bad!" Tim says. "We have to stop it!"
+
+Tim and Sam run to the battery. They try to turn it off. But the arm grabs them. It pulls them closer. It squeezes them.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim and Sam cry. "Let us go! It hurts!"
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the garage. She sees the mess. She sees the arm. She sees Tim and Sam.
+
+"Oh no, what have you done?" Mom says. "This is serious! You could have been hurt!"
+
+Mom cuts the wires. The arm stops. She frees Tim and Sam. She hugs them.
+
+"Are you okay?" Mom asks. "Are you hurt?"
+
+Tim and Sam shake their heads. They are scared and sorry.
+
+"We're okay, Mom," Tim says. "We're sorry, Mom. We just wanted to make a robot arm."
+
+Mom sighs. She is angry and worried.
+
+"I know, boys," Mom says. "But you can't play with these things. They are not toys. They are dangerous. You have to be careful. You have to ask me first."
+
+Tim and Sam nod. They understand.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom," Sam says. "We won't do it again."
+
+Mom smiles. She is glad they are safe.
+
+"I love you, boys," Mom says. "But next time, please play with your blocks and cars."
+Tom was a boy who liked to play with his cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. One day, he saw a new car in the freezer. It was blue and shiny and had a big sticker on it. Tom wanted to play with it.
+
+He asked his mom, "Mom, can I have the car in the freezer?"
+
+Mom said, "No, Tom, that car is not for you. It is for your cousin Lily. She is coming to visit us tomorrow. I bought it for her birthday."
+
+Tom felt sad. He wanted the car for himself. He did not like to share his cars with anyone. He thought Lily was mean and bossy. He did not want her to come.
+
+The next day, Lily arrived with her mom. She was wearing a pink dress and a bow in her hair. She smiled and hugged Tom.
+
+"Hi, Tom, I'm so happy to see you. Do you want to play with me?" she said.
+
+Tom did not smile. He did not hug her back. He said, "No, I don't want to play with you. You are mean and bossy. You always take my cars and break them."
+
+Lily looked surprised and hurt. She said, "I'm not mean and bossy. I just like to play with cars. I have a new car for you. It is in the freezer. Mom and I bought it for you. It is red and shiny and has a big sticker on it. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Tom's eyes widened. He did not know Lily had a car for him. He liked red cars. He liked shiny cars. He liked cars with stickers. He said, "You have a car for me? In the freezer?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I do. Come on, let's go get it. I want to play with you and your cars. Can I invite you to play with me?"
+
+Tom felt curious and excited. He wanted to see the car Lily had for him. He wanted to play with it. He thought maybe Lily was not so mean and bossy after all. He said, "OK, you can invite me to play with you. Let's go get the car in the freezer."
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the freezer. They opened it and saw the two cars. They were both blue and red and shiny and had big stickers on them. They looked like twins. Lily and Tom smiled and grabbed the cars. They thanked their moms and went to the floor. They made the cars zoom and crash and laugh. They had fun. They were glad. They were friends.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play games in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. Lily wanted to go on the slide, but Tom was scared.
+
+"Come on, Tom, it is fun!" Lily said. "You can go with me."
+
+Tom shook his head. "No, thank you. It is too high. I might fall."
+
+Lily frowned. "Don't be weak, Tom. It is not high. It is just a slide. You can do it."
+
+Tom shrugged. He did not want to make Lily sad, but he did not want to go on the slide. He was happy on the ground.
+
+"Let's play another game, then," he said. "How about tag? I can run fast."
+
+Lily smiled. She liked tag, too. She nodded. "OK, Tom. Let's play tag. You are it!"
+
+She ran away from Tom, laughing. Tom chased her, laughing too. They forgot about the slide. They had fun playing tag. They were still friends.
+Mia and Leo were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and yellow and blue. It looked like a rainbow.
+
+"Wow, look at the balloon!" Mia said. "It is so high and pretty. It can soar in the air like a bird."
+
+"I want to soar too," Leo said. "Can we go on the balloon?"
+
+Mia nodded. They ran to the balloon man and asked him if they could ride. The balloon man smiled and said yes. He gave them each a cookie and helped them get in the basket. The balloon man pulled a rope and the balloon went up, up, up.
+
+Mia and Leo were so happy. They ate their cookies and looked at the park below. They saw the trees, the flowers, the swings, and the slide. They waved at the other kids and the dogs and the birds. They felt like they were flying.
+
+"Thank you, balloon man," Mia said. "This is the best day ever."
+
+"You're welcome, little ones," the balloon man said. "You are very humble and kind. I'm glad you like the balloon."
+
+Mia and Leo hugged the balloon man. They were glad they had a new friend. They stayed on the balloon until the sun set. Then they went back to the ground and said goodbye. They ran to their moms and dads and told them about their adventure. They were very tired, but very happy. They dreamed of soaring again.
+Lily was a serious girl who liked to read books and draw pictures. She did not like to play with the other kids, who were loud and messy. One day, she brought her favorite book to the park and sat on a bench to read.
+
+But the other kids were playing with a ball near the bench. They threw the ball high and far, and laughed and shouted. Lily did not like the noise. She wished they would go away.
+
+Then, the ball flew over the kids' heads and landed on Lily's book. It made a loud thud and knocked the book out of her hands. The pages flew in the air and scattered on the ground. Lily was very angry. She picked up the ball and threw it back at the kids.
+
+"Hey, that's not nice!" one of the kids said. "We're sorry we hit your book. It was an accident. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Lily looked at the kids. They had friendly faces and smiles. They did not mean to hurt her book. Maybe they were not so bad. Maybe she could play with them for a while.
+
+She nodded and put her book in her bag. She joined the kids and they played with the ball. They taught her how to catch and throw, and she taught them some words from her book. They had fun and became friends. Lily learned that playing with others was not so bad. She still liked to read and draw, but she also liked to play. She was not so serious anymore.
+Lily loved to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many dresses of different colors and shapes. She liked to pretend that her dolls were princesses or fairies or queens.
+
+One day, she saw a new dress in her mom's closet. It was very old and had many shiny things on it. Lily thought it was the most beautiful dress ever. She wanted to try it on and play with it.
+
+She asked her mom, "Mom, can I lend your dress? I want to play dress-up with it."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That dress is very ancient, Lily. It belonged to your great-grandma. She wore it on a special day. It is very precious to me. You can look at it, but you can't play with it. It might get torn or dirty."
+
+Lily felt sad. She really wanted to wear the dress. She said, "Please, mom, I will be very careful. I will only wear it for a little while. I will make your great-grandma happy."
+
+Her mom thought for a moment. She remembered how much she loved to play dress-up when she was a little girl. She said, "Okay, Lily, you can lend my dress. But only for a little while. And you have to be very gentle with it. And you have to put it back in the closet when you are done. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever."
+
+She took the dress and put it on. She felt like a princess. She played with her dolls and had a lot of fun. She was very happy. She did not forget to put the dress back in the closet when she was done. She gave her mom a big hug and said, "Thank you for lending me your dress, mom. I love you and I love your great-grandma."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the mud. They liked to make pies and cakes with the wet dirt. They used sticks and leaves to decorate them. They were having a lot of fun, but they were also very filthy.
+
+"Look at my pie, Lily! It has a cherry on top!" Ben said, holding up a lump of mud with a red leaf.
+
+"It's very pretty, Ben. But I think my cake is better. It has frosting and sprinkles!" Lily said, showing him a flat mud cake with white flowers and small rocks.
+
+They heard their mom calling them from the house. "Lily! Ben! Time to come in and have lunch!"
+
+They ran to the house, leaving their mud pies and cakes behind. They did not want to miss lunch. They were very hungry.
+
+But when they got to the door, their mom stopped them. She looked at their filthy clothes and faces and hands. She shook her head and said, "No, no, no. You can't come in like that. You need to wash up first. Look at your stomachs. They are covered in mud!"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at their stomachs. They were indeed covered in mud. They did not notice before. They felt a little ashamed.
+
+"Sorry, mom. We were playing in the mud. We forgot to clean up," Lily said.
+
+"Me too, mom. I'm sorry," Ben said.
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "It's okay. I know you were having fun. But you need to be clean before you eat. Come on, let's go to the hose and spray off the mud. Then you can have lunch."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and followed their mom to the hose. They giggled as the cold water washed away the mud. They felt fresh and clean. They thanked their mom and went inside to have lunch. They still liked to play in the mud, but they also liked to be clean.
+Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They have a small pool with water and some toys. They like to splash and make bubbles.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make the water go up!" Tom says. He uses a cup to scoop some water and pours it on the grass.
+
+"That's fun, Tom, but don't waste the water. Water is important. We need it to drink and wash and grow plants," Lily says.
+
+"Why is water important?" Tom asks.
+
+"Because water helps us stay healthy and happy. And water is not everywhere. Some places have very little water and people are thirsty and sad," Lily explains.
+
+"Oh, I see. I don't want to be thirsty and sad. I want to share the water with everyone," Tom says.
+
+"Me too, Tom. Maybe we can do something to help. We can increase the water in the pool by using the hose. And we can save some water in a bottle and give it to someone who needs it," Lily suggests.
+
+"That's a good idea, Lily. Let's do that. You are very smart and kind," Tom says.
+
+They smile and hug. Then they go to the hose and fill the pool with more water. They also fill a bottle and put it in their backpack. They decide to take it to the park and look for someone who might want some water. They are happy to play with water and to share it with others. Water is important and so is friendship.
+Lily liked to draw pictures with her crayons. She had many colors and she made animals and flowers and houses. She was very good at drawing and she was proud of her pictures.
+
+One day, her mom asked her to mind her baby brother while she cooked dinner. Lily said yes, because she was an obedient girl and she loved her brother. She took her crayons and paper and went to the living room, where her brother was playing with his toys.
+
+She sat on the floor and started to draw a picture of a big yellow sun. She wanted to show it to her mom and dad later. She looked at her brother and saw that he was happy with his blocks and cars. She smiled and went back to her picture.
+
+But then, she heard a noise. She turned around and saw that her brother had crawled to her crayons and was putting them in his mouth. He was making a mess and he could get sick. Lily was scared and angry. She shouted, "No, no, no! Don't do that! Those are not for eating! Those are for drawing!"
+
+She ran to her brother and took the crayons away from him. He started to cry and to kick his legs. He was not happy. He wanted the crayons. Lily tried to calm him down and to give him his toys, but he did not want them. He wanted the crayons.
+
+Lily did not know what to do. She felt sad and sorry. She did not want to hurt her brother, but she did not want him to eat her crayons. She wished her mom would come and help her. She hugged her brother and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please don't cry. I love you. You can look at my picture, but you can't eat my crayons. They are not good for you. They are only good for drawing."
+Tom and Anna liked to play cowboys and robbers. They had hats and scarves and pistols made of wood. They ran around the yard, hiding behind trees and rocks, and shouting "Bang! Bang!" at each other.
+
+One day, they saw a big truck parked in front of their house. It was red and shiny and had a ladder and a hose. Tom and Anna ran to see it. They saw some men in yellow suits and helmets. They were firemen. They came to help their neighbor, who had a small fire in his kitchen.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "Can we see your truck?"
+
+"Sure, kids, come on over," one of the firemen said. He smiled and lifted them up to the truck. He showed them the buttons and the lights and the siren. He let them wear his helmet and hold his hose.
+
+Tom and Anna were very happy. They thanked the fireman and climbed down from the truck. They saw their pistols on the ground. They picked them up and ran back to their yard.
+
+"Let's play cowboys and robbers again!" Anna said.
+
+"OK, but this time, I'm the sheriff and you're the robber," Tom said. "You have to settle with me or I'll shoot you!"
+
+"OK, OK, I'll settle with you," Anna said. She pretended to be scared and put her hands up.
+
+Tom pointed his pistol at her and said, "Bang! Bang! You're under arrest!"
+
+But as he said that, he heard a loud noise behind him. He turned around and saw the fireman who had shown them the truck. He had his real pistol in his hand. He had shot a snake that was crawling near the truck.
+
+Tom was so surprised that he dropped his pistol and fell on his butt. He felt embarrassed. He looked at the fireman and said, "Sorry, sir, I was just playing."
+
+The fireman laughed and said, "It's OK, kid, I know. You have a nice pistol there. But be careful, it might scare some people."
+
+Tom nodded and picked up his pistol. He ran to Anna and hugged her. They decided to play something else. They liked the fireman, but they didn't like snakes.
+Tim and Mia like to play with the machine. The machine can say what they say. They talk to the machine and the machine talks back. It is fun.
+
+One day, they find a new button on the machine. It is red and shiny. Tim wants to press it. Mia says no. She says it might be bad. Tim does not listen. He presses the button.
+
+The machine makes a loud noise. It says what they say, but very fast and very loud. It does not stop. It repeats and repeats and repeats. Tim and Mia are scared. They cover their ears. They want the machine to be quiet.
+
+They run to Mom. They tell her what happened. Mom goes to the machine. She sees the button. She presses it again. The machine stops. It is quiet. Mom says the button is for the machine to repeat more. She says they should not press it. It is too loud and too bad.
+
+Tim and Mia say sorry. They hug Mom. They say they will not press the button again. They will play with the machine nicely. Mom smiles. She says it is okay. She says they can play with the machine, but they have to be careful. They say yes. They go back to the machine. They talk to the machine and the machine talks back. It is fun.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a big box that their dad gave them. The box was from his work, where he made things with wood and metal. The box had many holes and shapes on it, and inside the box there were different things that could fit in the holes and shapes. Ben and Lily liked to twist and turn the things until they found the right place for them.
+
+One day, they were playing with the box when they heard their mom call them. "Ben, Lily, time for lunch!" she said. Ben and Lily put down their toys and ran to the kitchen. They were hungry and wanted to eat. They washed their hands and sat at the table. Their mom had made them sandwiches and juice. They thanked their mom and started to eat.
+
+"Mom, can we show you our box?" Ben asked. "We can twist the things and make them fit in the holes and shapes. It is fun!"
+
+"Sure, sweetie, I would love to see your box," their mom said. "But first, finish your lunch and put your plates in the sink."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and ate their sandwiches. They drank their juice and wiped their mouths. They put their plates in the sink and ran back to their room. They picked up their box and brought it to the living room, where their mom was sitting on the couch. She looked tired and had a book in her hand.
+
+"Mom, look at our box!" Lily said. "We can show you how we twist the things and make them fit in the holes and shapes. It is easy!"
+
+Their mom smiled and put down her book. She moved over on the couch and made some room for them. "OK, let me see your box," she said. "You can sit next to me and show me how you play with it."
+
+Ben and Lily climbed on the couch and sat next to their mom. They put the box on their lap and opened it. They took out some of the things and started to twist and turn them. They showed their mom how they matched the things with the holes and shapes. Their mom watched them and praised them. She said they were very smart and clever. She hugged them and kissed them. Ben and Lily felt happy and proud. They also felt comfortable and warm. They loved their mom and their box. They played with their box until it was time for a nap.
+Sam and Mia like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads with their blocks and zoom their cars on them. Sometimes they have races and see who is faster.
+
+One day, they find a big red apple in the kitchen. They think it looks like a ball. They want to play with it. They roll it on the floor and catch it. They laugh and have fun.
+
+Then Sam has an idea. He says, "Let's zoom the apple with our cars!" He puts the apple on a block and pushes it with his car. The apple rolls down the block and hits Mia's car. Mia's car falls over and the apple keeps rolling.
+
+Mia says, "Hey, that's not fair! You made my car fall!" She gets another car and chases the apple. She tries to catch it with her car, but the apple is too big and round. It bounces off her car and rolls away.
+
+Sam and Mia run after the apple. They want to get it back. But the apple is faster than them. It zooms across the room and under the sofa. They can't reach it. It is too tight.
+
+They look at each other and sigh. They say, "Bye bye, apple. You are a bad ball." They go back to their blocks and cars. They decide to play something else. They are still friends.
+Anna and Ben were very excited. Today was the big day. They were going to see fireworks in the park. They put on their warm coats and hats and gloves. Mom and Dad gave them each a big hug and a kiss. They got in the car and drove to the park.
+
+When they got there, they saw many people and lights and tents. They smelled popcorn and hot dogs and candy. They heard music and laughter and horns. They followed Mom and Dad to a big field. There they saw a huge pile of fireworks. They were all different colors and shapes and sizes. Some looked like rockets, some looked like stars, some looked like flowers.
+
+"Wow!" Anna said. "Look at all the fireworks!"
+
+"They are so pretty!" Ben said. "Can we touch them?"
+
+"No, no, no!" Mom and Dad said. "Fireworks are not for touching. They are for watching. They are very hot and loud and dangerous. They can hurt you and make you cry. You have to stay away from them and wait for the show to start."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They did not want to get hurt or cry. They wanted to have fun and see the show. They found a good spot on the grass and sat down. Mom and Dad wrapped them in a big blanket and gave them some snacks and drinks. They cuddled and waited.
+
+Soon, the sky got dark and the music got louder. A man with a microphone said, "Are you ready for the fireworks show? Here we go!" And then, the fireworks started. They flew up in the air and burst into bright colors and shapes. They made loud noises and sparks and smoke. They lit up the sky and the faces of the people. Anna and Ben clapped and cheered and oohed and aahed. They loved the fireworks show.
+
+But then, something weird happened. One of the fireworks did not fly up in the air. It stayed on the ground and spun around and around. It made a funny noise and a funny smell. It looked like a big snake. It slithered and hissed and moved towards the people. The people screamed and ran and hid. Anna and Ben were scared. They did not like the weird firework.
+
+"Mom! Dad! What is that?" Anna asked.
+
+"I don't know, honey. It must be a mistake. Don't worry, we are safe here. Just stay with us and don't move." Dad said.
+
+"Is it going to stop?" Ben asked.
+
+"I hope so, sweetie. I hope so." Mom said.
+
+They hugged each other and watched the weird firework. They hoped it would stop soon. They hoped the show would go on. They hoped the night would end well.
+Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They like to run, swing, slide and climb. One day, they see something new in the park. It is a big, heavy box with a lock. They wonder what is inside the box. Is it a toy? Is it a cake? Is it a mystery?
+
+They try to open the lock, but it is too hard. They try to lift the box, but it is too heavy. They try to shake the box, but it does not make a sound. They are very curious. They want to know the mystery.
+
+They see a man walking towards the box. He has a key in his hand. He looks angry. He says, "Hey, you kids, get away from my box! It is mine, not yours!"
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They run away from the box. They scatter in different directions. They hide behind a tree, a bench and a slide. They peek at the man. He opens the box. He takes out a lot of papers. He looks at them and smiles. He puts them back in the box. He locks the box. He walks away with the box.
+
+Tom and Mia come out of their hiding places. They look at each other. They are still curious. They do not understand. What was the mystery? Why did the man have so many papers? Why did he smile? Why did he take the box away?
+
+They shrug their shoulders. They decide to forget about the box. They go back to playing. They run, swing, slide and climb. They have fun. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play outside and have fun. One day, they decided to have a picnic in the park. They packed some bread, cheese, fruit and juice in a basket. They also brought a ball and a kite.
+
+They walked to the park and found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread a blanket on the grass and put the basket on it. They ate some of the food and drank some of the juice. They were happy and full.
+
+"Let's play with the ball!" Tom said.
+
+"OK!" Lily agreed.
+
+They took the ball and threw it to each other. They ran and laughed and caught the ball. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away. They chased it and brought it back.
+
+One time, the ball rolled too far and went into the bushes. Tom ran after it and tried to find it. He saw something shiny in the bush. He reached for it and pulled it out. It was a necklace with a big blue stone.
+
+"Wow!" Tom said. "Look what I found!"
+
+He ran back to Lily and showed her the necklace.
+
+"Wow!" Lily said. "It's so pretty!"
+
+"Can I have it?" Tom asked.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She liked the necklace too. It was shiny and blue. But she knew it was not theirs. Someone else must have lost it.
+
+"No, Tom," she said. "We can't have it. It's not ours. We have to be honest and give it back."
+
+"But how?" Tom asked. "We don't know who it belongs to."
+
+"Maybe we can ask someone," Lily said. "Or we can leave it here and hope they come back for it."
+
+Tom felt sad. He wanted to keep the necklace. It was so pretty. He looked at it and saw how it sparkled in the sun. He thought of a plan.
+
+He put the necklace in his pocket and said, "OK, Lily. You're right. We have to be honest and give it back. Let's leave it here and hope they come back for it."
+
+He took the ball and threw it to Lily. She caught it and threw it back. They played with the ball for a while. Then Tom said, "Let's play with the kite!"
+
+"OK!" Lily agreed.
+
+They took the kite and ran to a open space. They threw the kite in the air and watched it fly. They held the string and pulled it and twisted it. The kite went up and down and left and right. They had fun with the kite.
+
+But Tom still thought about the necklace. He wanted to keep it. He thought Lily would not notice. He thought he could hide it in his pocket and take it home.
+
+He was wrong.
+
+Lily noticed. She saw the necklace poking out of his pocket. She saw how he looked at it and touched it. She knew he was lying. She felt angry and sad.
+
+"Tom!" she said. "You still have the necklace! You didn't leave it here! You lied to me!"
+
+Tom was scared. He knew he was caught. He knew he did something bad. He felt ashamed and sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I wanted to keep it. It was so pretty. I was selfish and dishonest. Please forgive me."
+
+He took the necklace out of his pocket and gave it to Lily. He hoped she would still be his friend.
+
+Lily looked at him. She saw he was sorry. She was still angry and sad. But she was also kind and forgiving.
+
+She took the necklace and said, "Tom, you made a mistake. You should not have lied to me. You should have been honest and given it back. But I forgive you. You are still my friend. But we have to do the right thing now. We have to find the owner of the necklace or leave it here."
+
+Tom nodded. He felt relieved and grateful. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You are honest and forgiving. I'm sorry I lied to you. I will do the right thing now. I will help you find the owner of the necklace or leave it here."
+
+They hugged and said sorry and thank you. They took the necklace and looked for the owner. They asked some people in the park. They did not find the owner. They decided to leave the necklace on the bench near the bush. They hoped the owner would come back for it.
+
+They went back to their picnic spot. They packed their basket and their blanket. They took their ball and their kite. They walked back home. They were still friends. They learned a lesson. They were happy and honest.
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with chalk on the sidewalk. They made colorful pictures of flowers, stars, and animals. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+One day, it was Lily's birthday. She was very happy and excited. She invited Sam to her party. She said, "Sam, come to my party. We will have cake and balloons and games. It will be fun!"
+
+Sam was very happy and excited too. He wanted to give Lily a present. He thought, "What can I give Lily? She likes chalk. I will give her some new chalk. She will like that."
+
+He went to the store with his mom. He saw many kinds of chalk. He picked the ones that had glitter and sparkles. He thought they were pretty. He paid with his mom's money. He said, "Thank you, mom. You are very nice."
+
+He wrapped the chalk in a paper with hearts. He put a bow on it. He wrote, "To Lily, from Sam" on a card. He was ready to go to the party.
+
+He met Lily at her house. He gave her the present. He said, "Happy birthday, Lily. I hope you like it."
+
+Lily opened the present. She saw the chalk. She was very happy and surprised. She said, "Wow, Sam. This is the best present ever. I love it. Thank you, Sam. You are very kind."
+
+She hugged Sam. She said, "You are my best friend. I am very grateful for you."
+
+They went to the party. They had cake and balloons and games. They had fun and laughed a lot. They celebrated Lily's birthday. They were very happy.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the farm with their toys. They liked to make noises like the animals they saw. Mia had a cow toy that said "moo" when she squeezed it. Ben had a tractor toy that said "vroom" when he pushed it.
+
+They saw a real cow in the field. It was big and brown and had spots. Mia wanted to pet it. She ran to the fence and called, "Cow, cow, come here!" Ben followed her. He was a little scared of the cow.
+
+The cow looked at them and walked slowly to the fence. It sniffed Mia's cow toy and licked it with its tongue. Mia giggled and said, "Cow, you are funny. Do you like my toy?" The cow said "moo" and nodded its head.
+
+Ben wanted to show his tractor toy to the cow. He held it up and said, "Cow, look at this. It is a tractor. It can go fast and make noise. Do you want to see?" The cow said "moo" and shook its head.
+
+Ben was confused. He said, "Cow, why not? Tractors are fun. Don't you like tractors?" The cow said "moo" and turned away. It walked back to the field and lay down under a tree.
+
+Ben and Mia looked at each other. They thought the cow was weird. They shrugged and went back to playing with their toys. They decided they liked their toys more than the real cow.
+Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They liked to laugh and sing.
+
+One day, it was very quiet in the park. There were no other children. The sky was gray and the wind was cold. Tom and Lily felt sad. They wanted sunshine and fun.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek," said Tom. "Maybe we will forget the cold."
+
+"OK," said Lily. "You count and I hide."
+
+Tom closed his eyes and counted. "One, two, three, four, five..."
+
+Lily ran and hid behind a big tree. She waited for Tom to find her. She waited and waited. She heard nothing. She peeked from behind the tree. She saw no one. She felt scared.
+
+"Tom, where are you?" she called.
+
+There was no answer. She ran to the swings. She saw no one. She ran to the slide. She saw no one. She ran to the bench. She saw no one.
+
+"Tom, where are you?" she cried.
+
+She thought Tom had forgotten her. She thought he had left her alone. She sat on the bench and sobbed.
+
+Then she heard a voice. "Lily, I found you!"
+
+She looked up and saw Tom. He was smiling. He had a big yellow balloon in his hand.
+
+"Tom, you scared me!" she said. "I thought you forgot me!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," said Tom. "I didn't forget you. I saw a man with balloons. He gave me one for free. I wanted to surprise you. Look, it's sunshine!"
+
+Lily smiled. She took the balloon from Tom. She hugged him.
+
+"Thank you, Tom," she said. "You are my best friend. You make me happy."
+
+They held the balloon together. They felt warm and cozy. They forgot the cold. They saw sunshine.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their pirate toys in the garden. They had a big ship, a treasure chest, and some swords. They pretended to sail the ship, find the treasure, and fight the bad pirates.
+
+"Arrr, I am the captain of this ship!" Tom said, wearing a hat and a patch.
+
+"No, I am the captain, and you are my mate!" Lily said, holding a sword.
+
+They laughed and chased each other around the ship.
+
+Soon, they were very tired and hungry. They decided to have a nap and a snack. They went inside the house and found some tasty cookies and milk on the table.
+
+"Yum, these are the best cookies ever!" Lily said, taking a big bite.
+
+"They are pirate cookies, made with gold and jewels!" Tom said, making a funny face.
+
+They drank their milk and ate their cookies. Then they cuddled on the couch and closed their eyes.
+
+"Good night, captain," Tom said, yawning.
+
+"Good night, mate," Lily said, smiling.
+
+They dreamed of more pirate adventures.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their dolls. They liked to make up stories and pretend they were different people. Lila had a pink doll and Ben had a blue doll.
+
+"Let's change our dolls," Lila said. "I want to play with the blue one and you can play with the pink one."
+
+"OK," Ben said. He gave Lila his blue doll and took her pink doll. They smiled and hugged.
+
+But then, Lila saw that the blue doll had a rip on its arm. She felt sad and angry.
+
+"Ben, you gave me a bad doll!" she shouted. "You knew it was broken and you didn't tell me the truth!"
+
+Ben was scared by Lila's loud voice. He didn't mean to hurt her feelings. He liked the blue doll even if it had a rip.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lila," he said. "I didn't know you would mind. I love the blue doll and I thought you would too. It's still a good doll."
+
+Lila looked at Ben's face. He looked sorry and sad. She felt sorry and sad too. She realized that the rip didn't matter. She liked the blue doll too. And she liked Ben more.
+
+"I'm sorry too, Ben," she said. "You're right. It's still a good doll. And you're a good friend. Can we share our dolls and play together?"
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He gave Lila a hug and said, "Yes, we can. I'm happy to share with you."
+
+They played with their dolls and made up new stories. They were happy and had fun. They learned that change can be good and that truth and friendship are important.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the shower. They have a yellow duck, a blue boat, and a green frog. They make the toys swim and splash in the water.
+
+One day, they see something new in the shower. It is a small ball that glows. It is red and shiny. Lila and Ben are curious. They want to touch the ball.
+
+"Look, Ben, a glow ball!" Lila says.
+
+"Wow, Lila, it is pretty!" Ben says.
+
+They reach for the ball, but it moves away. It bounces on the wall and the floor. It makes a funny sound. Lila and Ben laugh. They try to catch the ball.
+
+The ball is fast and smart. It dodges their hands. It goes up and down and left and right. It changes color. It becomes orange, then purple, then pink. Lila and Ben are amazed. They clap and cheer.
+
+But then, the ball stops glowing. It becomes gray and dull. It falls on the floor. Lila and Ben are sad. They pick up the ball and hug it.
+
+"Please, glow ball, glow again!" Lila says.
+
+"Yes, please, glow ball, we love you!" Ben says.
+
+They rub the ball and kiss it. They hope it will glow again. But it does not. It stays gray and quiet.
+
+Lila and Ben do not know what to do. They look at each other. They look at the ball. They wonder why it stopped glowing. They wish they could make it happy. They feel sorry for the ball.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play and have fun. But sometimes they do not behave. They make a mess and do not listen to Mom and Dad.
+
+One day, Mom says, "It is time for a shower, Tom and Lily. You are dirty and smelly. Come on, let's go to the bathroom."
+
+But Tom and Lily do not want to take a shower. They run away and hide under the bed. They say, "No, no, no. We do not like showers. They are hard and cold and wet. We want to play more."
+
+Mom is not happy. She looks for Tom and Lily. She finds them under the bed. She says, "Tom and Lily, you are naughty. You have to take a shower. It is not hard. It is easy and warm and nice. It will make you clean and fresh. You will feel good. And then you can play more. But you have to behave."
+
+Tom and Lily see that Mom is serious. They do not want to make her angry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We will behave. We will take a shower. Please help us."
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "That's good, Tom and Lily. I love you. Come on, let's go to the bathroom. I will help you take a shower. And then we can have a snack and play more."
+
+Tom and Lily follow Mom to the bathroom. They take a shower. They see that it is not hard. It is easy and warm and nice. It makes them clean and fresh. They feel good. And then they have a snack and play more. They are happy. And Mom is happy too.
+Tim and Lily went to the farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like pigs, chickens, and sheep. But their favorite animal was the cow. The cow was big and brown, and had soft fur and a long tail.
+
+"Can we pet the cow, mom?" Tim asked.
+
+"Sure, but be gentle and quiet," mom said. "The cow is resting."
+
+Tim and Lily walked slowly to the cow. They touched its fur and felt how warm it was. The cow opened its eyes and looked at them. It made a low sound, like "moo".
+
+"Hello, cow," Lily said. "You are very nice. Do you like the farm?"
+
+The cow nodded its head and licked Lily's hand. It seemed to like the children. It moved its tail and made room for them to sit next to it.
+
+Tim and Lily sat down and leaned on the cow. They felt comfortable and happy. The cow closed its eyes and made another "moo". It was happy, too.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box. They think it is a house.
+
+"Let's go inside the house," Lily says.
+
+"OK, but we need a door," Ben says.
+
+They cut a hole in the box. They crawl inside. The box is dark and cozy.
+
+"This is a cute house," Lily says.
+
+"Yes, it is. And we can gain more things for it," Ben says.
+
+They go outside. They look for things to make the house better. They find a blanket, a pillow, a teddy bear, and a book. They bring them to the house.
+
+"Now we have a bed, a friend, and a story," Lily says.
+
+They lie down on the blanket. They hug the teddy bear. They look at the book.
+
+"Can you read the story?" Ben asks.
+
+Lily tries to read the words. She does not know them all. She makes up some.
+
+"Once upon a time, there was a princess and a dragon," she says.
+
+"What happened next?" Ben asks.
+
+Lily smiles. She likes to make stories.
+
+"You have to wait and see," she says.
+
+They giggle. They are happy in their cute house. They have gained a lot of fun.
+Sara and Ben like to play with hoops. They have many hoops of different colors and sizes. They like to roll them, spin them, and jump through them. Sometimes they order each other to do tricks with the hoops.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben are playing with hoops in the park. Sara has a big red hoop and Ben has a small blue hoop. Sara says to Ben, "Ben, order me to do something with my hoop." Ben thinks for a moment and says, "Sara, roll your hoop around the tree and catch it." Sara nods and does what Ben says. She rolls her hoop around the tree and runs after it. She catches it with a smile.
+
+Ben says, "That was good, Sara. Now it's my turn. Sara, order me to do something with my hoop." Sara thinks for a moment and says, "Ben, spin your hoop on your arm and then on your leg." Ben nods and does what Sara says. He spins his hoop on his arm and then on his leg. He looks happy.
+
+Sara says, "That was great, Ben. Now let's do something harder. Ben, order me to do something with my hoop that is very hard." Ben thinks for a long time and says, "Sara, put your hoop around your neck and hop on one foot." Sara says, "OK, I'll try." She puts her hoop around her neck and hops on one foot. But the hoop is too big and heavy for her neck. It makes her feel uncomfortable. She says, "Ouch, this hurts. I don't like this. Can I stop?" Ben says, "Yes, you can stop. I'm sorry, Sara. That was a bad order. Are you OK?" Sara says, "Yes, I'm OK. But I don't want to play with hoops anymore. Let's play something else." Ben says, "OK, let's play something else. How about tag?" Sara says, "Yes, tag sounds fun. You're it!" She takes off her hoop and runs away. Ben laughs and chases her. They forget about the hoops and have fun playing tag.

+
+They run after the arrow and pick it up. They shoot it again and again. They have fun.

+But one day, a new boy came to their class. His name was Sam. He did not like towers. He liked to break them. He saw Lily and Max's towers and kicked them down. Lily and Max were sad. They cried.
+
+"Why did you do that?" Lily asked Sam.
+
+"Towers are silly. I don't like them. I like cars and trucks," Sam said.
+
+"But we like towers. They are fun. You are mean," Max said.
+
+Sam did not care. He laughed and ran away.
+
+Lily and Max felt miserable. They did not want to play anymore. They sat on the floor and hugged their blocks.
+
+Then, their teacher came. She saw what happened. She was not happy.
+
+"Sam, come here. Why did you break Lily and Max's towers?" she asked.
+
+"Because I don't like them. They are boring," Sam said.
+
+"That is not nice. You should not break other people's things. You should respect their feelings. How would you feel if someone broke your cars and trucks?" she asked.
+
+Sam thought for a moment. He did not like that idea. He felt sorry.
+
+"I would feel sad," he said.
+
+"Then you should say sorry to Lily and Max. And you should try to play with them. Maybe you can find something you all like. You can unite and be friends," she said.
+
+Sam nodded. He walked to Lily and Max. He said sorry. He gave them some of his blocks. He asked them if they wanted to make a tower with him. Lily and Max smiled. They said yes. They took his blocks and their blocks. They made a big tower together. They put cars and trucks on it. They had fun.

+
+One day, their mom tells them that they have to share the dragon with their cousin Lily, who is coming to visit. Sara and Ben do not want to share. They like the dragon too much. They think that Lily will spoil the dragon. They hide the dragon under their bed and say that they do not know where it is.
+
+When Lily arrives, she looks for the dragon. She likes dragons too. She asks Sara and Ben, "Where is the dragon? Can I play with it?"
+
+Sara and Ben shake their heads and say, "No, you can't. The dragon is ours. We don't know where it is. Go away."
+
+Lily feels sad and angry. She thinks that Sara and Ben are mean and selfish. She goes to their mom and tells her what they said. Their mom is not happy. She goes to their room and finds the dragon under their bed. She takes it out and says, "Sara and Ben, this is not nice. You have to share your toys with Lily. She is your cousin and your guest. You do not spoil the dragon by sharing it. You spoil it by hiding it and lying about it. Now, you have to apologize to Lily and let her play with the dragon too."
+
+Sara and Ben feel ashamed and sorry. They realize that they were wrong. They say, "We are sorry, Lily. We are sorry, mom. We were not nice. We will share the dragon with you. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Lily smiles and nods. She says, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Sara and Ben. I like the dragon too. It is soft and green, and it has a shiny scale on its back. Can we pretend that it can fly and breathe fire?"
+
+Sara and Ben say, "Yes, we can. That sounds fun. Let's make noises like 'roar' and 'whoosh'."

+They all hug the dragon and play together. They have a lot of fun. They learn that sharing is better than hiding. They do not spoil the dragon. They make it happy.

+
+One day, they see a big rainbow in the sky. It has many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. They want to jump on the rainbow. They think it will be soft and bright and happy.
+
+They run to the rainbow, but it is far away. They keep running and jumping, but they cannot reach it. They are sad and tired. They sit on the ground and look at the rainbow.
+
+"Maybe we need a plane to jump on the rainbow," Tom says.
+
+"Planes are too cheap," Mia says. "They break and fall. We need a magic carpet. A magic carpet can fly and take us to the rainbow."
+
+"Where can we find a magic carpet?" Tom asks.
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She sees a big pile of leaves nearby. She has an idea.
+
+"Come on, Tom. Let's make a magic carpet with the leaves. We can pretend they are soft and bright and happy. We can jump on them and fly to the rainbow."

+
+"Why are you fighting?" Mom asks.
+
+"Sara is mean! She wants both toys!" Ben says.
+
+"Ben is mean! He wants both toys!" Sara says.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She sits on the bed and hugs them.
+
+"Listen, my loves. You have many toys. You can share them. Sharing is good. Sharing is generous. Generous means you give some of what you have to others. When you are generous, you make others happy. And you are happy too. Do you want to be generous?" Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They think for a moment. They nod.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We want to be generous." Sara says.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We want to be generous." Ben says.
+
+They smile. They hug Mom. They hug each other.
+
+"Here, Sara. You can play with the car." Ben says.

+
+Mom says, "Yes, you can. But first, you have to do something for me. You have to help me with the laundry. It is a useful thing to do. You can sort the clothes by color and put them in the basket."
+
+Tom does not like to do laundry. He thinks it is boring. He wants to play football. But he loves his mom and his new shirt. He says, "OK, mom. I will help you. But can I wear my shirt while I do it?"
+
+Mom says, "Sure, you can. But be careful. Don't get it dirty or tear it. It is a special shirt."
+
+Tom nods. He puts on his shirt and helps mom with the laundry. He feels proud of his shirt and his work. He thinks, "I am a good son and a good football player. I can do useful things and have fun. I love my mom and my shirt."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they quarrel over who gets to play with what. One day, they found a bottle of lotion on their mom's dresser. It was shiny and smelled nice.
+
+"Let me have it!" Anna said. She grabbed the bottle and ran to the bed.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said. He chased after her and tried to pull the bottle from her hands.
+
+They tugged and pulled and shouted. The bottle slipped from their fingers and fell to the floor. It broke and spilled lotion everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna and Ben said. They looked at the mess and felt scared.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the broken bottle and the lotion on the carpet. She was angry and sad.
+
+"Do you know what this is?" she asked. "This is my expensive lotion. It was a gift from your aunt. It was very special to me. And you broke it and wasted it. Why did you do that?"
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry. They did not know it was mom's expensive lotion. They did not know it was a gift. They did not mean to break it. They just wanted to play with it.
+
+"We're sorry, mom," they said. "We were quarreling over it. We didn't know it was yours. We won't do it again."
+
+Mom sighed. She was still angry and sad, but she also loved her twins. She knew they were young and curious. She knew they made mistakes.
+
+She hugged them and said, "I forgive you, but you have to learn to share and respect other people's things. And you have to help me clean up this mess. And no more playing with my lotion, okay?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "Okay, mom. We love you."
+
+They helped mom clean up the lotion. They learned their lesson. They did not quarrel over mom's lotion anymore. They played nicely with their toys instead.
+Lila liked to fly. She had a big red cape that she tied around her neck. When she ran fast, the cape flapped behind her like wings. She felt like a bird or a superhero.
+
+One day, she saw a pair of scissors on the table. They were shiny and sharp. She wanted to make her cape more beautiful. She thought she could cut some shapes out of it, like stars or hearts. She reached for the scissors, but her mom saw her.
+
+"Lila, no!" her mom said. "Scissors are not for playing. They can hurt you. And your cape is already beautiful. It is your ordinary cape, but it makes you special."
+
+Lila felt sad. She did not want to hurt herself or her cape. She wanted to make it more fun. She put the scissors back on the table and hugged her mom.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," she said. "I just wanted to fly better."
+
+Her mom smiled and kissed her. "You don't need to cut your cape to fly better, Lila. You just need to use your imagination. Come on, let's go outside and fly together."
+
+Lila smiled too. She put on her cape and ran outside with her mom. They flew around the yard, pretending to be birds or superheroes. Lila felt happy. She loved her mom and her cape. They were both ordinary, but they made her special.
+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the park. They wanted to make a big statue of a dog. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They worked hard to add more and more blocks to their statue.
+
+"Look, Lily, our dog statue is almost done!" Ben said. "We just need to add a tail and a nose."
+
+Lily nodded and looked for more blocks. She saw a big red block that was perfect for the nose. She ran to get it, but someone else was faster. It was Max, a spoiled boy who always took things from other kids.
+
+"Hey, that's my block!" Lily shouted. "Give it back!"
+
+"No, it's mine now!" Max said. "I need it for my castle. Go away!"
+
+He pushed Lily and ran away with the block. Lily fell down and started to cry. Ben saw what happened and ran to help her.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. "That was very mean of Max. He is a spoiled boy who doesn't share."
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. "I'm okay, Ben. But our dog statue has no nose. What can we do?"
+
+Ben looked around and saw a small yellow block. He picked it up and smiled.
+
+"I have an idea, Lily. Let's add this yellow block as the nose. It will make our dog statue more colorful and funny. And Max can keep his boring red block."
+
+Lily smiled too and agreed. They added the yellow block as the nose and a green block as the tail. They stepped back and admired their dog statue.
+
+"It looks great, Ben!" Lily said. "We made a beautiful and happy dog statue. And we did it together."
+
+They hugged and laughed. They didn't care about Max and his castle. They had more fun with their blocks and their friendship.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run, jump and hide behind the trees. They were having a lot of fun.
+
+But then they heard their mom call them. "Lily, Tom, come inside! It's time for dinner!"
+
+Lily and Tom did not want to stop playing. They wanted to remain in the garden. They looked at each other and had a funny idea.
+
+They ran to the shed and found a big bottle of wine. They did not know what wine was, but they liked the color. They poured some wine into two cups and hid behind a bush.
+
+They pretended to be grown-ups and drank the wine. They made funny faces and noises. They thought it was a game.
+
+But soon they felt dizzy and sick. The wine was not good for them. It was not a game.
+
+They started to cry and call for their mom. They wished they had listened to her and gone inside.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to the garden. She saw them behind the bush with the wine and the cups. She was very angry and worried.
+
+She took them inside and gave them some water and bread. She told them that wine was not for children and that they could have hurt themselves. She also told them that they had to say sorry and never do that again.
+
+Lily and Tom felt very sorry and hugged their mom. They said they were sorry and that they loved her. They learned their lesson and never touched the wine again.
+Sara likes to study. She likes to look at books and learn new things. She has a big book about animals. She likes to see the pictures and say the names.
+
+One day, she finds a new book on the shelf. It is a book about cooking. She opens it and sees many things she does not know. She sees pots and pans, spoons and knives, salt and pepper. She wants to learn more.
+
+She takes the book and goes to the kitchen. She sees her mom cooking. She says, "Mom, can I help you cook? I have a book about cooking."
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "Sure, Sara, you can help me. What do you want to do?"
+
+Sara looks at the book and points to a picture. She says, "I want to make this. It looks yummy."
+
+Her mom looks at the picture and says, "That is a salad. It is easy to make. You need lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and dressing. And you need to wash your hands first."
+
+Sara nods and washes her hands. She helps her mom tear the lettuce, cut the tomatoes, and grate the cheese. She feels happy and proud.
+
+Then she sees the pepper. She remembers the book. She says, "Mom, can I use the pepper? The book says it makes the food spicy."
+
+Her mom says, "Yes, you can use a little pepper. But be careful, it can make you sneeze."
+
+Sara takes the pepper and shakes it over the salad. She shakes it too much. The pepper flies everywhere. It gets in her nose and eyes. She feels a tickle and a sting. She starts to sneeze and cry.
+
+She drops the pepper and runs to her mom. She says, "Mom, help me! The pepper hurts me! I don't like it!"
+
+Her mom hugs her and wipes her face. She says, "Oh, Sara, I'm sorry. The pepper is too strong for you. You need to use it very little. Here, drink some water. It will make you feel better."
+
+Sara drinks some water and stops crying. She says, "Mom, I'm sorry. I ruined the salad. I was trying to study and cook."
+
+Her mom says, "It's okay, Sara. You didn't ruin the salad. You just made it very spicy. Maybe we can eat it with some bread and butter. And you did a good job studying and cooking. You learned something new. Next time, you can try something else."
+
+Sara smiles and says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. And I love cooking with you."
+
+Her mom says, "I love you too, Sara. And I love cooking with you too."
+Lily liked hockey very much. She had a hockey stick and a ball that she played with in the park. She wanted to be a hockey star when she grew up.
+
+One day, she saw some big kids playing hockey on the ice. They had skates and helmets and gloves. They looked fast and strong. Lily wanted to join them, but she was afraid they would laugh at her.
+
+She watched them from behind a tree, holding her hockey stick and ball. She wished she had skates and helmets and gloves too.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing there?" one of the big kids called out. He skated over to Lily and saw her hockey stick and ball. "Are you trying to play hockey with that? That's not hockey, that's baby stuff. You need skates and a puck to play hockey. And you need to be tough, not delicate like a flower."
+
+He grabbed Lily's hockey stick and ball and threw them away. He laughed and skated back to his friends.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted her hockey stick and ball back. She wanted to play hockey too. She wanted to show the big kid that she was not delicate like a flower, but brave and strong.
+
+She ran after her hockey stick and ball. She did not care about the ice or the cold. She ran as fast as she could. She reached her hockey stick and ball before the big kid could get them again.
+
+She picked them up and turned around. She saw the big kid coming back to her. He looked mean and angry.
+
+She did not run away. She stood up and faced him. She held her hockey stick and ball tightly.
+
+She said, "This is my hockey stick and ball. You can't take them from me. I can play hockey with them. I can play hockey with anything. I am not delicate like a flower. I am tough like a lion. And I will be a hockey star one day. You will see."
+
+The big kid stopped. He looked at Lily. He saw her eyes and her smile. He saw her courage and her passion. He felt sorry and ashamed.
+
+He said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. You are not delicate like a flower. You are tough like a lion. And you can play hockey with anything. You have a hockey spirit. You can be a hockey star one day. I believe you."
+
+He gave Lily a high five. He asked her if she wanted to play hockey with him and his friends. He said he would lend her his skates and helmet and gloves.
+
+Lily smiled. She said yes. She put on the skates and helmet and gloves. She followed the big kid to the ice. She played hockey with him and his friends. She had fun. She felt happy.
+
+She was a hockey star.
+Tim and Jen were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to chase it before it went too far.
+
+One time, the ball rolled near a lady who was sitting on a bench. She had a big hat and a long dress. She looked weird to Tim and Jen. She picked up the ball and held it in her hands. She smiled at them and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tim and Jen did not want to play with her. They wanted their ball back. They ran to the lady and said, "Please give us our ball. That is our ball. We are playing with it."
+
+The lady did not give them their ball. She said, "No, this is my ball now. I like this ball. It is pretty and round. You can play with something else."
+
+Tim and Jen were angry and scared. They did not like the lady. They wanted their ball. They shouted, "Stop! Stop! That is not your ball. That is our ball. Give it back. Give it back now!"
+
+The lady did not stop. She laughed and said, "No, no, no. This is my ball. You can't have it. Go away. Go away now!"
+
+Tim and Jen did not go away. They cried and screamed. They tried to grab their ball from the lady. The lady pushed them away. She was mean and rude.
+
+Some people heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw the lady and the kids. They saw the ball. They knew the lady was wrong. They told the lady to stop. They told her to give the ball back. They told her to be nice and share.
+
+The lady did not listen. She was stubborn and selfish. She held the ball tight and said, "No, no, no. This is my ball. Mine, mine, mine. You can't have it. You can't make me."
+
+The people did not like the lady. They did not like how she treated the kids. They did not like how she acted. They called the police. The police came and took the lady away. They gave the ball back to Tim and Jen. They said, "Sorry, kids. That lady was weird. She was not nice. She was not normal. She had a problem. You did nothing wrong. You can have your ball. You can play with it. Have fun."
+
+Tim and Jen were happy and relieved. They thanked the police. They hugged their ball. They went back to playing. They kicked the ball to each other and ran after it. They had fun. They forgot about the lady. They hoped she would get better. They hoped she would learn to be nice and share.
+Lily was a small girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a ball and a fork. She liked to pretend that the fork was a magic wand that could do anything. She would wave it and say "Fork, fork, make me a cake!" or "Fork, fork, turn my bear into a lion!"
+
+One day, she was playing with her fork in the garden, when she saw a big bird in the sky. It was black and white and had a long neck. Lily wanted to talk to the bird, so she waved her fork and said "Fork, fork, call the bird to me!"
+
+The bird heard Lily's voice and looked down. It saw the shiny fork and thought it was a fish. The bird was hungry, so it flew down to get the fish. Lily was happy to see the bird, but she was also scared. She did not know that the bird wanted to eat her fork.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Lily said. "What is your name?"
+
+The bird did not answer. It opened its mouth and tried to grab the fork. Lily held on to the fork and said "No, bird, this is not a fish, this is my fork! My magic fork!"
+
+The bird did not care. It pulled harder and harder, until the fork snapped in half. The bird flew away with one half of the fork, and Lily was left with the other half. She was very sad and angry. She cried and said "Bad bird, bad bird, you broke my fork! My magic fork!"
+
+She ran inside the house and told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said "I'm sorry, Lily, that was a mean bird. But don't worry, your fork was not really magic. It was just a toy. You can still play with your doll, your bear and your ball. And I have a new fork for you. A bigger and stronger fork. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She followed her mom to the kitchen and saw a new fork on the table. It was bigger and stronger than her old fork. It had a red handle and a star on the end. Lily smiled and said "Wow, mom, this is a nice fork. Thank you!"
+
+Her mom smiled and said "You're welcome, Lily. This is your new fork. Your special fork. You can play with it, but be careful not to hurt yourself or anyone else. And don't wave it at the birds, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and said "Okay, mom. I won't wave it at the birds. I will wave it at the stars. Maybe they will talk to me."
+
+Her mom laughed and said "Maybe they will, Lily. Maybe they will."
+Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They see many wild animals there, like birds, squirrels and rabbits. They also see a big pond with ducks and fish. Anna and Ben want to feed the ducks some bread.
+
+They run to the pond and throw some bread into the water. The ducks swim to the bread and eat it. They make loud noises and flap their wings. Anna and Ben laugh and clap their hands. They think the ducks are very attractive.
+
+"Look, Ben, that duck has a green head and a blue neck. It is so pretty!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, Anna, and that duck has a brown head and a white neck. It is so handsome!" Ben says.
+
+They throw more bread to the ducks and watch them eat. They have a lot of fun.
+
+Soon, they finish all the bread. They have no more bread to give to the ducks. The ducks swim away and look for more food. Anna and Ben are sad.
+
+"Can we get more bread, Anna?" Ben asks.
+
+"No, Ben, we have no more bread. We have to go home now. It is getting late." Anna says.
+
+"OK, Anna, let's go home. But can we come back to the park tomorrow and see the ducks again?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, Ben, we can come back tomorrow. I like the ducks too. They are very friendly and attractive." Anna says.
+
+They hold hands and walk back to their home. They say goodbye to the park and the wild animals. They are happy and tired. They can't wait to come back tomorrow and play with the ducks again.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Anna found a big worm and showed it to Ben. Ben was excited and wanted to touch it.
+
+"Can I hold it?" he asked.
+
+"Okay, but be gentle," Anna said. She gave him the worm and he smiled.
+
+They heard a loud meow and saw a black cat coming towards them. The cat looked hungry and angry. It saw the worm in Ben's hand and jumped at him.
+
+"Watch out!" Anna shouted. She grabbed a stick and hit the cat on the nose. The cat hissed and ran away.
+
+"Are you okay?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay. Thank you for saving me," Ben said. He hugged Anna and gave her back the worm.
+
+They decided to put the worm back in the dirt and go inside. They did not want to meet the cat again. They wondered if the cat was sick or had eaten poison. They hoped the worm would be safe and happy. They were glad they had each other.
+Tom was a lawyer who helped people with problems. He liked to read big books and write long letters. He worked in a tall building with many rooms. One day, he had to go to a different room to talk to a man. He took his bag and walked down the hall.
+
+On the way, he saw a small door with a sign that said "playroom". He was curious and opened the door. He discovered a bright and colorful room with many toys and books. There were also some children who were playing and laughing. They looked happy and friendly.
+
+"Hello, who are you?" one of the children asked.
+
+"I'm Tom, I'm a lawyer. I work here. Who are you?" Tom answered.
+
+"We are the children of the people who work here. We come here when they are busy. This is our playroom. Do you want to play with us?" the child said.
+
+Tom smiled and nodded. He put his bag down and joined the children. He played with blocks, cars, dolls, and puzzles. He read some stories and drew some pictures. He had a lot of fun and forgot about the time.
+
+The children liked Tom. They thought he was kind and funny. They shared their toys and books with him. They were generous and polite.
+
+"Thank you for playing with us, Tom. You are a nice lawyer. Will you come back again?" one of the children asked.
+
+"Yes, I will. Thank you for inviting me. You are wonderful children. I enjoyed your playroom. It was a nice discovery." Tom said.
+
+He picked up his bag and said goodbye to the children. He went to the other room to talk to the man. He was late, but he didn't mind. He had learned something new and made some new friends. He was happy and grateful.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big box under a tree. It was a mystery. What was inside the box?
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom said. He was very curious.
+
+"Wait!" Lily said. She was a little scared. "Maybe it is a trap. Maybe there is a monster inside."
+
+Tom shook his head. "No, it is not a trap. It is a present. Maybe there is a toy inside. Or a cake. Or a book. I hope it is a book. I love books."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She loved books too. And cake. And toys. She hoped it was a present too. She nodded. "OK, let's open it. But be careful."
+
+They walked to the box. They lifted the lid. They looked inside. They gasped. There was a puppy inside. It was brown and fluffy and cute. It wagged its tail and licked their faces.
+
+"Wow!" Tom said. "It is a puppy! A mighty puppy! It is the best present ever!"
+
+"Wow!" Lily said. "It is a puppy! A sweet puppy! It is the best present ever!"
+
+They hugged the puppy. They named it Mystery. They took it home. They showed it to their parents. Their parents smiled. They said they knew about the present. They said it was from their aunt. She wanted them to have a friend. They thanked their aunt. They thanked their parents. They thanked the mystery box. They loved their puppy. They were very happy.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys in the bathroom. They had a big tub of water and many boats and ducks and fish. They pretended they were pirates and explorers and had fun splashing and making noises.
+
+One day, they found a new toy in the bathroom. It was a red bottle with a spray. They did not know what it was, but it looked fun. Ben picked it up and pressed the button. A mist came out and made a hissing sound.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "It's like magic!"
+
+Lily wanted to try it too. She took the bottle from Ben and sprayed it on her boat. The boat began to shrink and shrink until it was very tiny.
+
+"Hey, what happened?" Lily cried. "My boat is gone!"
+
+Ben was curious. He sprayed the bottle on his duck. The duck also shrank and shrank until it was very tiny.
+
+"Uh-oh," Ben said. "This is not good."
+
+They looked at the bottle and saw a label. It had a picture of a sink and a word they did not know. It said "Shrink".
+
+They realized they had made a mistake. They had used a shrink spray that made things smaller. They felt sorry for their toys and wanted to make them big again.
+
+They looked around the bathroom and saw a big sink. They thought maybe the sink could help them. They put their tiny toys in the sink and turned on the tap. They hoped the water would make them grow.
+
+But they were not careful. They turned on the tap too much and the water came out very fast. The water filled the sink and made a big wave. The wave washed away their tiny toys and took them down the drain.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Ben and Lily shouted. They tried to turn off the tap, but it was too hard. They got wet and scared.
+
+They heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She opened the door and saw the mess. She saw the water and the bottle and the empty tub.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. "What is this?"
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They felt bad and sorry.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with things they did not know. They learned to ask before they use. They learned to not play with shrink spray.
+Anna loved ponies. She had a toy pony, a pony book, and a pony shirt. She wanted a real pony more than anything. She asked her mom and dad every day, but they always said no. They said ponies were too big, too expensive, and too messy. Anna was miserable.
+
+One day, Anna saw a sign on the road. It said "Pony Rides". She pointed to the sign and said to her mom, "Please, please, please, can I ride a pony? Please, mom, please?" Her mom smiled and said, "Okay, Anna, we can go and see the ponies. But you can only ride one for a little while, okay?"
+
+Anna was so happy. She clapped her hands and hugged her mom. They drove to the farm where the ponies were. Anna saw many ponies of different colors and sizes. She ran to the fence and said hello to them. She petted their soft noses and gave them carrots. She felt their warm breath and heard their gentle neighs.
+
+A nice lady came and asked Anna if she wanted to ride a pony. Anna nodded and said, "Yes, please, yes!" The lady helped Anna put on a helmet and a vest. She lifted Anna onto a brown pony with a white star on its forehead. She said, "This is Star. He is very friendly and gentle. Hold on to his mane and I will lead him around the farm. Are you ready, Anna?"
+
+Anna was ready. She held on to Star's mane and felt him move under her. She felt like she was flying. She saw the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the other animals. She smiled and laughed. She said, "Thank you, Star, thank you, lady, thank you, mom. I love ponies. This is the best day ever!"
+Sara liked to clap her hands when she was happy. She clapped when she saw her mom, when she played with her toys, and when she sang songs. She also liked to clap when she helped in the kitchen. She helped mom wash the fruits, stir the soup, and put the bread in the oven.
+
+One day, mom asked Sara to get some ice from the freezer. Sara was excited. She liked the freezer. It was cold and white and had many things inside. She opened the door and saw a big bag of ice. She reached for it, but it was too heavy. She pulled and pulled, but the bag did not move. She tried to climb on the shelf, but she slipped and fell. She hit her head on the floor and started to cry.
+
+Mom heard Sara cry and ran to the freezer. She saw Sara on the floor, holding her head. She picked her up and hugged her. She said, "Oh, Sara, are you okay? You have a bump on your head. Let me get some ice for you." She took a small piece of ice from the bag and wrapped it in a cloth. She put it on Sara's head and said, "This will make it feel better. You are very brave, Sara. I'm sorry the bag was too heavy for you. Next time, ask me for help, okay?"
+
+Sara nodded and sniffed. She felt the ice on her head and the hug from mom. She felt better. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are very kind. I love you." She gave mom a kiss and a smile. She clapped her hands and said, "Can we make cookies now?" Mom laughed and said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go to the oven. You can help me put the chocolate chips on the cookies." Sara clapped her hands again and followed mom to the oven. She was happy.
+Tom and Jen like to jog in the park. They jog fast and slow, up and down, and around and around. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, dogs, and people.
+
+One day, they see a big stack of books on a bench. The books are colorful and shiny. Tom and Jen want to look at the books. They jog to the bench and stop.
+
+"Who left these books here?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone forgot them," Jen says.
+
+"Can we look at them?" Tom says.
+
+"OK, but we have to be gentle. We don't want to break them or lose them," Jen says.
+
+They pick up the books one by one and look at the pictures and words. They see books about animals, cars, stars, and more. They like the books very much.
+
+They hear a voice behind them. "Excuse me, are those my books?"
+
+They turn around and see a lady with glasses and a bag. She looks nice but worried.
+
+"Sorry, we were just looking at them. They are very nice books," Jen says.
+
+"Thank you, they are my books. I teach children how to read and write. I left them here by mistake when I went to the bathroom. I was looking for them everywhere," the lady says.
+
+She smiles and takes the books from Tom and Jen. She puts them in her bag.
+
+"Thank you for being gentle with my books. Do you like to read and write?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, we do. We are learning at school," Tom says.
+
+"That's wonderful. Reading and writing are very fun and useful. Maybe you can come to my class someday and read some of my books with the other children," she says.
+
+"Really? That would be great!" Jen says.
+
+The lady gives them her card and says goodbye. Tom and Jen wave and jog back to their mom and dad. They tell them about the books and the lady. They are happy and excited. They want to read more books and learn more words.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play pirates on the big ship. The big ship is in the park. It has a slide, a wheel, and an anchor.
+
+One day, Ben and Sam go to the park with Mom. They run to the big ship and climb on it. Ben pretends to be the captain. He orders Sam to do things.
+
+"Sam, hoist the sail!" Ben says.
+
+"Sam, steer the wheel!" Ben says.
+
+"Sam, drop the anchor!" Ben says.
+
+Sam does what Ben says. But he is not happy. He thinks Ben is bossy. He thinks the game is boring.
+
+"Ben, I don't want to play pirates anymore," Sam says.
+
+"Why not?" Ben asks.
+
+"Because you order me all the time. And the anchor is too heavy. And the game is boring," Sam says.
+
+Ben is surprised. He likes to play pirates. He thinks the game is fun.
+
+"Sam, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be bossy. I just wanted to be a good captain. And the anchor is not too heavy. It is pretend. And the game is not boring. It is exciting," Ben says.
+
+Sam looks at Ben. He sees that Ben is sorry. He also likes to be a good pirate. He thinks the game can be exciting.
+
+"Ben, it's okay. I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to be grumpy. I just wanted to have fun. And the anchor is pretend. And the game can be exciting," Sam says.
+
+Ben and Sam smile at each other. They hug. They decide to play pirates again. But this time, they take turns to be the captain. And they both have fun.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. One day, Lily brought a new book to Ben's house. It had many pictures of animals and colors.
+
+"Can I see your book?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, you can lend it for a little bit," Lily said. She gave the book to Ben and smiled.
+
+Ben was happy. He opened the book and looked at the pages. He saw a red bird, a yellow lion, a blue fish, and a green frog. He tried to read the words, but they were too hard. He asked Lily to help him.
+
+Lily sat next to Ben and pointed at the words. She read them slowly and clearly. Ben repeated after her. They had fun learning new words and sounds.
+
+But then, Ben heard a loud noise. He turned his head and saw his baby brother, Sam. Sam had crawled to the bookshelf and pulled down a big book. The book fell on the floor and made a crack.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben said. He jumped up and ran to the bookshelf. He picked up the big book and saw a tear on the cover. He felt sad and scared. He loved that book. It was his favorite. It was a gift from his grandma.
+
+He looked at Lily. She looked worried too. She knew that Ben liked that book a lot.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," she said. "It was an accident. Sam didn't know."
+
+Ben nodded. He knew that Sam was too small to understand. He hugged Sam and kissed his cheek. He said, "It's okay, Sam. I still love you."
+
+He put the big book back on the shelf. He hoped that his mom could fix it later. He took Lily's hand and said, "Let's go back to your book. It's very nice and comfortable. Thank you for lending it to me."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. You're a good friend." They went back to the couch and cuddled with the book. They read more words and looked at more pictures. They felt happy and cozy. They forgot about the crack.
+Lily and Sam are twins. They like to go to the park with Mom. Mom says they have to take the bus. The bus is big and yellow. It makes a loud noise.
+
+Lily and Sam stand in line with Mom. They wait for the bus. They see a dog. The dog is black and white. It has a long tail. The dog is nosy. It runs to the line and sniffs everyone.
+
+"Hello, doggy!" Lily says. She wants to pet the dog. Sam is scared of the dog. He hides behind Mom.
+
+"Go away, doggy!" Sam says. He does not like the dog.
+
+The dog does not listen. It jumps on Lily and licks her face. Lily laughs. She likes the dog.
+
+"Stop, doggy!" Mom says. She pulls Lily away from the dog. She is not happy. She does not want the dog to make Lily dirty.
+
+The bus comes. It stops in front of the line. The door opens. Mom pays the driver. She holds Lily and Sam by the hand. They get on the bus. They find a seat.
+
+The dog does not get on the bus. It stays outside. It barks at the bus. It wants to play with Lily and Sam.
+
+"Bye, doggy!" Lily says. She waves at the dog. Sam does not wave. He is glad the dog is gone.
+
+The bus starts to move. It takes Lily and Sam to the park. They are happy. They want to play on the swings and the slide. They forget about the dog.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the living room. It had a sticker that said "mail". They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben said.
+
+"No, we can't. It's not ours. It's for Mom and Dad." Lily said.
+
+But Ben was curious. He ripped the tape and opened the box. Inside, he saw a lot of bags of rice. He took one out and shook it.
+
+"Look, it makes noise!" he said.
+
+Lily was scared. She knew they were doing something bad. She tried to stop Ben, but he was having fun. He threw the bag in the air and it burst. Rice flew everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said.
+
+They heard Mom and Dad coming. They quickly hid behind the couch. Mom and Dad saw the mess and the open box.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Who opened our mail?" Dad asked.
+
+They looked around and saw Lily and Ben peeking from behind the couch. They had rice in their hair and on their clothes. They looked guilty.
+
+"Did you do this?" Mom asked.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom and Dad. We were just playing." Lily said.
+
+"We didn't know it was rice." Ben said.
+
+Mom and Dad sighed. They were not happy, but they loved their twins.
+
+"You shouldn't open mail that is not yours. It's rude and wrong. And you made a big mess. You have to clean it up." Mom said.
+
+"And you have to say sorry to Aunt Mary. She sent us the rice as a gift. She lives far away and can't visit us. She wanted to share something with us." Dad said.
+
+Lily and Ben understood. They said sorry to Mom and Dad and to Aunt Mary on the phone. They helped to clean up the rice. They learned their lesson. They never opened mail that was not theirs again.
+Lila liked to mix things. She mixed water and soap to make bubbles. She mixed paint and paper to make art. She mixed flour and eggs to make dough. She mixed everything she could find.
+
+One day, she saw a bulb on the table. It was round and shiny and had a wire. She wondered what it was. She asked her mom.
+
+"That is a bulb, Lila. It makes light when you put it in a lamp. But you have to be careful. It can break or burn you if you touch it. Do not mix it with anything, okay?"
+
+Lila nodded, but she was curious. She wanted to see what would happen if she mixed the bulb with something. She waited until her mom was busy. Then she took the bulb and went to her room.
+
+She looked around for something to mix the bulb with. She saw her toy car, her teddy bear, her crayons, and her glue. She decided to try the glue. She opened the bottle and squeezed some glue on the bulb. Then she stuck the bulb on the car. She hoped it would make the car light up.
+
+But nothing happened. The bulb did not light up. The car did not move. The glue was sticky and messy. Lila was disappointed. She tried to pull the bulb off the car, but it was stuck. She pulled harder and harder, but it did not come off.
+
+She heard her mom coming. She quickly hid the car and the bulb under her bed. She pretended to read a book.
+
+Her mom came in and smiled. "What are you doing, Lila?"
+
+"I am reading, mom."
+
+"That's good. Do you want to help me make a cake? We can mix some yummy things together."
+
+Lila liked cake. She liked to mix things. She nodded and followed her mom to the kitchen. She forgot about the bulb and the car.
+
+But the next day, she remembered. She was persistent. She wanted to mix the bulb with something else. She wondered what would happen if she mixed the bulb with water, or paint, or dough. She decided to try again. She took the car and the bulb from under her bed and went to the bathroom.
+
+She turned on the faucet and filled the sink with water. She put the car and the bulb in the water. She hoped it would make the water light up.
+
+But nothing happened. The bulb did not light up. The water did not change. The car did not float. The glue was still sticky and messy. Lila was disappointed. She tried to pull the bulb off the car, but it was still stuck. She pulled harder and harder, but it did not come off.
+
+She heard her dad coming. She quickly took the car and the bulb out of the water and dried them with a towel. She hid them behind the shower curtain. She pretended to brush her teeth.
+
+Her dad came in and smiled. "What are you doing, Lila?"
+
+"I am brushing, dad."
+
+"That's good. Do you want to help me plant some flowers? We can dig some holes and put some bulbs in them. They will grow and bloom in the spring."
+
+Lila liked flowers. She liked to dig. She nodded and followed her dad to the garden. She forgot about the bulb and the car.
+
+But the next day, she remembered. She was persistent. She wanted to mix the bulb with something else. She wondered what would happen if she mixed the bulb with dirt, or seeds, or flowers. She decided to try again. She took the car and the bulb from behind the shower curtain and went to the garden.
+
+She looked around for a spot to dig. She saw a hole where her dad had planted a bulb. She thought it was a good place. She took out the bulb and put the car and the bulb in the hole. She covered them with dirt. She hoped they would grow and bloom.
+
+But nothing happened. The bulb did not grow. The dirt did not change. The car did not show. The glue was still sticky and messy. Lila was disappointed. She tried to dig the bulb and the car out of the hole, but they were buried. She dug harder and harder, but she could not find them.
+
+She heard her mom and dad coming. They saw the hole and the dirt. They saw Lila and the shovel. They frowned.
+
+"What are you doing, Lila?"
+
+Lila did not know what to say. She looked at the hole and the dirt. She looked at her mom and dad. She felt sorry.
+
+"I am sorry, mom and dad. I was mixing, but it did not work. I mixed the bulb with the car and the glue and the water and the paint and the dough and the dirt. But nothing happened. The bulb did not light up or move or float or grow or bloom. It was just a bulb.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to swim in the pool. Tom is big and Sam is small. Tom can swim fast and Sam can swim slow.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam go to the pool with Mom. Tom says to Sam, "I will race you to the other side. Ready, set, go!" Tom swims very fast and Sam swims very slow. Tom gets to the other side first and says, "I win, I win, you lose, you lose!"
+
+Sam feels sad and says, "That is not fair. You are big and I am small. You swim fast and I swim slow. You are rude, Tom. You are rude."
+
+Mom hears Sam and says, "Tom, that is not nice. You should not make fun of your brother. You should help him and teach him how to swim better. You should be kind, Tom. You should be kind."
+
+Tom feels sorry and says, "I am sorry, Sam. I did not mean to be rude. I was just having fun. You are my brother and I love you. Do you want to swim with me again?"
+
+Sam smiles and says, "Yes, I want to swim with you again. But can we swim together, not race? That is more fun."
+
+Tom nods and says, "Yes, we can swim together, not race. That is more fun. Come on, let's go!"
+
+Tom and Sam swim together in the pool. They splash and laugh and have fun. Mom watches them and smiles. She is happy that they are kind.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Sometimes they play downstairs with their toys. Sometimes they play upstairs in their room.
+
+One day, they want to play upstairs. But they have a problem. The stairs are too big for them. They are scared to fall. They hold hands and look at the stairs.
+
+"Can we do it?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, we can!" Ben says. "We are strong. We can climb the stairs. I will go first. You follow me. I will encourage you."
+
+Ben starts to climb the stairs. He puts one foot on the first step. Then he puts the other foot on the same step. He holds the railing with his hand. He looks back at Lily.
+
+"Come on, Lily! You can do it too! You are strong. You are brave. I am here for you."
+
+Lily smiles. She feels better. She puts one foot on the first step. Then she puts the other foot on the same step. She holds the railing with her hand. She looks at Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben! You are a good brother. You encourage me. I am here for you too."
+
+They keep climbing the stairs. They help each other. They say nice words to each other. They reach the top of the stairs. They are happy. They hug each other.
+
+"We did it!" they shout. "We are strong. We are brave. We are twins. We can do anything together!"
+
+They run to their room. They play with their toys. They have fun. They love each other.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play on the farm. They had many animals to see and feed, but their favorite was Billy the goat. Billy was always hungry and liked to eat anything he could find.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben decided to give Billy a treat. They picked some apples from the tree and put them in a basket. They ran to the barn where Billy was waiting for them.
+
+"Hello, Billy!" they said. "We have something yummy for you!"
+
+Billy saw the apples and his eyes lit up. He bleated happily and tried to reach the basket. But Lily and Ben held it up high.
+
+"Wait, Billy!" they said. "You have to behave first. You have to do a trick for us. Can you stand on your hind legs?"
+
+Billy was very smart and knew how to do tricks. He wanted the apples so much that he nodded and stood on his hind legs. He balanced himself and looked at Lily and Ben.
+
+"Good boy, Billy!" they said. "You are very clever. Here is your reward!"
+
+They lowered the basket and let Billy have an apple. He crunched it with his teeth and smiled. He was very happy and grateful.
+
+Lily and Ben gave him another apple and another, until there were none left. Billy was full and satisfied. He licked their faces and thanked them.
+
+"You are welcome, Billy!" they said. "You are our best friend. We love you!"
+
+They hugged Billy and he hugged them back. They played together until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and promised to come back soon.
+
+The end.
+Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big red truck in the garage. It has a shiny key in the door.
+
+"Let's drive the truck!" Sam says. He opens the door and gets in. He puts the key in the hole and turns it. The truck makes a loud noise.
+
+"Wait for me!" Ben says. He runs to the other door and tries to open it. But it is locked. He knocks on the window. "Sam, unlock the door!"
+
+Sam looks at Ben. He sees that Ben is sad. He wants to play with him. He is compassionate. He pushes a button. The door unlocks. Ben gets in and smiles.
+
+"Thank you, Sam!" Ben says. He hugs Sam. They both buckle their seat belts.
+
+"You're welcome, Ben!" Sam says. He hugs Ben back. He looks at the dashboard. He sees a needle and a word. "Gas."
+
+"What is gas?" Ben asks.
+
+"Gas is what makes the truck go," Sam says. He points to the needle. "But we don't have much gas. See? The needle is near the E. E means empty."
+
+"Oh no!" Ben says. "Can we get more gas?"
+
+Sam thinks. He remembers that there is a gas station near their house. He sees a round thing with a needle and letters. "Compass."
+
+"What is compass?" Ben asks.
+
+"Compass is what tells us where to go," Sam says. He points to the needle. "See? The needle is pointing to N. N means north. Our house is south. We have to turn the truck around."
+
+"OK!" Ben says. He is excited. He likes to learn new things.
+
+Sam turns the steering wheel. The truck moves. They drive to the gas station. They fill the tank with gas. They pay the man. They drive back to their house. They park the truck in the garage. They take the key out. They lock the doors.
+
+They run to their mom. They tell her about their adventure. She is surprised. She is proud. She is compassionate. She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+"I love you, Sam and Ben!" she says.
+
+"We love you too, Mom!" they say. They are happy. They had fun. They learned new things. They are brothers.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pink dress with flowers on it. Lily liked to brush Anna's hair and make her dance.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new dress in the shop. It was blue and shiny, with stars on it. Lily wanted the dress for Anna. She asked her mom if she could buy it.
+
+"Mom, can I have the dress for Anna? It is so pretty!" Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at the dress and the price tag. It was very expensive. She shook her head.
+
+"No, Lily, we cannot buy the dress. It is too much money. We have to pay for other things, like food and rent. Maybe you can save some money and buy it later," Mom said.
+
+Lily was sad. She really wanted the dress for Anna. She thought Anna would look like a princess in it. She looked at her mom with big eyes.
+
+"Please, Mom, please. I love Anna. She is my best friend. She needs the dress," Lily said.
+
+Mom sighed. She loved Lily and wanted to make her happy. But she also had to be careful with money. She had an idea.
+
+"How about this, Lily? You can have the dress, but you have to do some chores to help me. You can help me wash the dishes, fold the clothes, and clean your room. For each chore, you will earn a coin. When you have enough coins, you can pay for the dress. Do you agree?" Mom said.
+
+Lily thought about it. She did not like to do chores. They were boring and hard. But she loved Anna and the dress. She nodded.
+
+"OK, Mom. I will do the chores. I will pay for the dress. Thank you, Mom," Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She was proud of her daughter. She hoped Lily would learn the value of money and work. She also hoped Lily would enjoy playing with Anna and the dress. She took Lily's hand and they walked home.
+Lily and Tom were youth who liked to play outside. They ran, jumped, and laughed in the sun. They were thirsty, so they looked for something to drink.
+
+They saw a big truck with a sign that said "Lemonade". The lemonade was cheap, only one coin for a cup. Lily and Tom had two coins each, so they decided to buy some lemonade.
+
+They went to the truck and asked for lemonade. The man in the truck smiled and gave them each a cup. He said, "Here you go, kids. Enjoy your drink."
+
+Lily and Tom thanked the man and drank their lemonade. It was cold and sweet and sour. They liked it a lot. They drank it all and felt happy.
+
+They wanted more lemonade, so they gave the man their other coins. He gave them two more cups. He said, "You kids really like lemonade, huh? Well, drink up, but don't drink too much. You might get a tummy ache."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and drank their second cups. They drank them faster than the first ones. They felt full and a little sick. They did not like lemonade anymore.
+
+They said goodbye to the man and went back to their play. They did not run, jump, or laugh as much as before. They felt sorry for drinking too much lemonade. They learned a lesson: cheap drinks are not always good drinks.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon. It is red and yellow and blue. It has a basket. A man is in the basket. He says, "Hello, do you want to fly with me?"
+
+Tom and Mia are excited. They say, "Yes, please!" They climb into the basket. The man turns on a fire. The fire makes the balloon go up. Up, up, up. Tom and Mia feel like birds. They see the trees and the houses and the cars. They are very small.
+
+The man gives them some candy. It is sweet and sticky. Tom and Mia like the taste. They say, "Thank you!" They eat the candy and look at the sky. They see clouds and birds and a plane. They wave at the plane.
+
+But then, the wind blows. The balloon moves fast. It goes left and right and up and down. Tom and Mia feel scared. They hold each other. They feel uncomfortable. They say, "We want to go down!"
+
+The man hears them. He says, "Don't worry, we will go down soon." He turns off the fire. The balloon goes down. Down, down, down. Tom and Mia see the park again. They are happy.
+
+The balloon lands on the grass. Tom and Mia get out of the basket. They hug the man. They say, "Thank you for the ride, but we like the ground better." The man smiles. He says, "You are welcome. Maybe next time, you will like the air better." Tom and Mia say, "Maybe." They run to their parents. They tell them about their adventure. They say, "We flew in a balloon!"
+Sam liked to whistle. He learned how to whistle from his dad, who whistled all the time. Sam whistled when he was happy, when he was bored, and when he wanted to call his dog, Spot.
+
+One day, Sam saw a watch in a shop window. It was a shiny watch with a red strap and a big face. Sam wanted the watch very much. He asked his mom if he could have it.
+
+"Mom, can I have that watch? It is so pretty!" Sam said.
+
+Mom looked at the watch and shook her head. "No, Sam, you can't have that watch. It is too expensive. And you don't need a watch. You are too young to tell time."
+
+"But mom, I like the watch. It makes a nice sound when it ticks. And I can whistle with it. Listen!" Sam said. He put his mouth close to the watch and whistled.
+
+Mom smiled. "Sam, you are very clever. But the watch is not a good toy. It is a cheap watch. It will break soon. And it might hurt your teeth if you whistle with it. Why don't you whistle with something else? Like this whistle." Mom took out a plastic whistle from her purse and gave it to Sam.
+
+Sam looked at the whistle. It was a blue whistle with a yellow cord. He blew on it and it made a loud noise. Sam liked the noise. He thanked his mom and put the whistle around his neck.
+
+"Come on, Sam, let's go home. You can whistle all the way. And maybe Spot will hear you and come to greet us." Mom said.
+
+Sam nodded. He forgot about the watch. He was happy with his whistle. He whistled and walked with his mom. He hoped Spot would hear him and come to play.
+Lily was a tall girl who liked to run and jump. She had long legs that made her fast and strong. She wanted to play with her friends at the park, but her mom said no.
+
+"Why not, mom?" Lily asked. "I want to have fun."
+
+"Because you hurt your leg yesterday, remember?" her mom said. "You fell off the slide and scraped your knee. It is still red and sore. You need to mind your leg and rest today."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like to stay at home and do nothing. She looked at her leg and saw the band-aid on her knee. It did not hurt much, but it was ugly and sticky.
+
+"Can I at least go outside and sit on the porch?" she asked. "I promise I won't run or jump."
+
+Her mom thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, but only for a little while. And you have to mind your leg and be careful. Don't touch the band-aid or the dirt. And come back inside when I call you."
+
+Lily smiled and thanked her mom. She put on her shoes and went outside. She sat on the porch and watched the birds and the cars. She saw her friends playing at the park and waved to them. They waved back and asked her to join them.
+
+"Sorry, I can't," Lily said. "I hurt my leg and I have to mind it. Maybe tomorrow I can play with you."
+
+Her friends said they hoped she would feel better soon and went back to their game. Lily felt a little better too. She knew her leg would heal and she would play with her friends again. She just had to mind it for today.
+Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play outside and explore new places. One day, they found a small path that led to a big cliff. They wanted to see what was on the other side.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go!" Tom said. He ran ahead, holding a stick.
+
+"Wait for me, Tom!" Lily said. She followed him, carrying a flower.
+
+They reached the edge of the cliff and looked down. They saw a blue sea, a green island, and a white boat. They also saw some birds flying in the sky.
+
+"Wow, this is so pretty!" Lily said. She smiled and waved at the birds.
+
+"Yeah, it is!" Tom said. He threw his stick in the air and caught it. "Let's celebrate!"
+
+"How?" Lily asked.
+
+"Like this!" Tom said. He started to jump and clap and sing. "We found a cliff, we found a cliff, hooray, hooray!"
+
+Lily joined him. She jumped and clapped and sang too. "We found a cliff, we found a cliff, hooray, hooray!"
+
+They laughed and danced and had fun. They were happy to celebrate their discovery. They did not want to leave the cliff. They wanted to stay there forever.
+Anna and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked around the room for something fun to do. They saw a big box with a zip on it. They opened the zip and found many things inside. There were clothes, books, toys, and a frame.
+
+"What is this?" Anna asked, holding the frame. It was made of wood and had a picture of a smiling family.
+
+"It is a photo," Ben said. "It shows people who love each other."
+
+"Who are they?" Anna wondered. She did not know the people in the photo.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe they lived here before us. Maybe they left the box for us to find."
+
+Anna and Ben decided to make up a story about the people in the photo. They gave them names and imagined what they liked to do. They pretended to be the people in the photo and wore the clothes from the box. They had fun and forgot about the gloomy day. They zipped the box again and put it back where they found it. They thanked the people in the photo for sharing their things with them. They hoped they were happy wherever they were.
+Lily was playing with her dolls in the living room. She liked to pretend they were having a tea party. She gave them cups of water and cookies. She also gave them names. She called them Anna, Elsa, and Olaf, like in her favorite movie.
+
+But then she heard a loud noise. It was her dad. He was sitting in the big armchair and reading a book. He sneezed so hard that his glasses fell off. Lily ran to him and asked, "Are you okay, Daddy?"
+
+Dad smiled and picked up his glasses. He said, "I'm fine, Lily. I just have a little cold. Don't worry." He put his glasses back on and rubbed his nose.
+
+Lily wanted to help her dad. She said, "I have an idea, Daddy. Why don't you drink some lemon juice? It will make you feel better. Mommy always says lemon juice is good for colds."
+
+Dad nodded and said, "That's very kind of you, Lily. Thank you. Can you bring me some lemon juice, please?"
+
+Lily nodded and ran to the kitchen. She found a lemon and a knife. She cut the lemon in half and squeezed it into a glass. She filled the glass with water and stirred it with a spoon. She was very careful not to cut herself or spill anything.
+
+She brought the glass to her dad and said, "Here you go, Daddy. Drink this and you will be well soon."
+
+Dad took the glass and thanked Lily. He took a sip and made a funny face. He said, "Wow, this is very sour, Lily. But it does taste good. Thank you for being such a sweet daughter."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her dad. She said, "You're welcome, Daddy. I love you."
+
+They both smiled and cuddled in the armchair. Lily gave her dad one of her cookies. They shared the lemon juice and the cookies and watched the movie together. Lily was happy that she could help her dad. She hoped he would get better soon.
+Jill was a thoughtful girl who liked to help her mom. She knew that mom was busy with the baby and the house, so she wanted to do something nice for her. She thought of a good idea: she would make a sandwich for mom and surprise her at noon.
+
+She went to the kitchen and found some bread, cheese, and ham. She used a knife to cut the bread and the cheese, and put them on a plate. Then she added the ham and closed the bread. She was very careful not to cut herself or make a mess. She also poured some juice in a cup and put it on a tray. She was very proud of her sandwich and juice.
+
+She looked at the clock and saw that it was almost noon. She picked up the tray and walked slowly to the living room, where mom was sitting on the couch with the baby. She smiled and said, "Mom, I have a surprise for you!"
+
+Mom looked up and saw Jill with the tray. She was very surprised and happy. She said, "Jill, what a thoughtful girl you are! You made me a sandwich and juice! Thank you so much, my dear!"
+
+Jill put the tray on the coffee table and gave mom a hug. She said, "You're welcome, mom! I love you!"
+
+Mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Jill! You are the best daughter ever!"
+
+They both enjoyed the sandwich and juice, and the baby cooed and smiled. Jill felt very happy and proud. She had done something nice for mom and made her day. She was a thoughtful girl.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big red ball and a yellow bike. They throw the ball and ride the bike. They have fun.
+
+But then, the ball goes too far. It goes over the fence. Anna and Ben cannot get the ball. They are sad. They want their ball back.
+
+They see a man on the other side of the fence. He has a blue hat and a green coat. He has a zipper on his coat. Anna and Ben call the man.
+
+"Hello, man! Can you help us? Our ball is over there. Can you give it to us, please?"
+
+The man looks at them. He smiles. He is nice. He walks to the ball. He picks it up. He throws it over the fence. Anna and Ben catch the ball. They are happy. They say thank you to the man.
+
+The man says, "You're welcome, kids. What are your names?"
+
+Anna says, "I am Anna. He is Ben. We are friends. What is your name?"
+
+The man says, "I am Sam. I am tired. I work in the zoo. I take care of the animals. Do you like animals?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Yes, we like animals. We like lions and monkeys and elephants. They are big and funny and loud. Do you have a zipper for the animals?"
+
+Sam laughs. He says, "No, I don't have a zipper for the animals. They don't need a zipper. They have fur and skin and feathers. They are warm and cozy. But I have a zipper for me. It keeps me warm and cozy too. Do you want to see my zipper?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Yes, please. Show us your zipper."
+
+Sam shows them his zipper. He zips it up and down. Anna and Ben watch. They think it is cool. They want to try it too. Sam lets them try it. They zip it up and down. They giggle. They like the zipper.
+
+Sam says, "You are good at zipping. Do you want to come to the zoo with me? I can show you the animals. They are nice too. They like to see kids."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Yes, yes, yes. We want to go to the zoo with you. We want to see the animals. Can we go now?"
+
+Sam says, "Sure, let's go. But first, we have to ask your mom and dad. They have to say yes too. Where are they?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "They are over there. They are on the bench. They are tired too. They read books and drink coffee. They don't play with us. They are boring."
+
+Sam says, "Well, maybe they will be more fun if we invite them to the zoo too. Come on, let's go and ask them. Maybe they will like the zipper too."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "OK, let's go. Thank you, Sam. You are nice. You are our friend too."
+
+They run to their mom and dad. They hold the ball and the bike. They tell them about Sam and the zoo and the zipper. They ask them to go with them. They hope they will say yes. They are excited. They are not sad anymore. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben like to play with the big vase in the living room. It is blue and shiny and has flowers on it. They pretend it is a castle or a rocket or a boat. They are very playful and have fun.
+
+One day, they find some stickers in a drawer. They are colorful and have shapes on them. Lily and Ben think they are pretty and want to put them on the vase. They try to match the shapes with the flowers. They stick a star on a sunflower, a circle on a rose, and a triangle on a tulip.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made the vase more pretty!" Lily says.
+
+"No, Lily, you made it silly!" Ben says. "The shapes do not match the flowers. They are different."
+
+Lily and Ben start to argue. They pull on the stickers and the vase. They do not see that the vase is wobbling on the table. It falls down and breaks into pieces. They hear a loud crash and a scream.
+
+"Mama!" they cry.
+
+Mama comes running into the living room. She sees the broken vase and the stickers. She is very angry and sad. She loves the vase. It was a gift from Grandma.
+
+"What did you do?" she asks.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared and sorry. They hug each other and say, "We are sorry, Mama. We were playing with the vase and the stickers. We wanted to match them. We did not mean to break it."
+
+Mama sighs and hugs them back. She says, "I know you did not mean to break it, but you should not play with the vase. It is not a toy. It is fragile and special. You should be careful with it. And you should not stick things on it. It is already pretty the way it is."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and say, "We understand, Mama. We are sorry. We will not play with the vase again. We will play with our toys instead."
+
+Mama smiles and says, "That is a good idea. Now, let's clean up this mess and find a way to fix the vase. Maybe we can glue it back together. And maybe we can find a new place for it, where it is safe and you can still see it."
+
+Lily and Ben help Mama clean up the mess. They find some glue and try to put the vase back together. It is not perfect, but it is still blue and shiny and has flowers on it. And it has some stickers on it, too. They make it look playful and different. Lily and Ben think it is still pretty. Mama thinks it is still special. She puts it on a shelf, where it can be seen but not touched. She thanks Lily and Ben for helping her. She says, "I love you, and I love the vase. It reminds me of Grandma, and of you. It is a gift from all of you."
+
+Lily and Ben hug Mama and say, "We love you, too, Mama. And we love the vase. It is a gift from you."
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play on the porch with their toys. They have a big box of cars, dolls, blocks and books. They share and take turns.
+
+One day, they see a small bird on the porch. It is brown and yellow. It has a hurt wing. It cannot fly. Lily and Max feel sorry for the bird. They want to help it.
+
+"Let's feed the bird," Lily says. "Maybe it is hungry."
+
+"Good idea," Max says. "What can we give it?"
+
+They look around and find some bread and seeds. They break the bread into small pieces and put them on a plate. They sprinkle some seeds on top. They put the plate near the bird.
+
+The bird sees the food and hops closer. It pecks at the bread and seeds. It makes a happy sound. Lily and Max smile.
+
+"Look, it likes it!" Lily says.
+
+"Maybe it will get better soon," Max says.
+
+They sit on the porch and watch the bird eat. They talk to it softly. They hope it will be their friend. They are glad they fed the bird. It is a mild day. They feel warm and happy.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Tom and Lily liked to feed the ducks with bread. They had a bag of bread that mom gave them.
+
+But Tom was selfish. He did not want to share the bread with Lily. He said, "This is my bread. You can't have any. Go away, Lily!"
+
+Lily was sad. She said, "That's not nice, Tom. We should share. Mom said sharing is good."
+
+Tom did not listen. He ran to the pond with the bag of bread. He threw some bread to the ducks. But then he saw something else in the water. It was a crocodile!
+
+The crocodile was hungry. It saw the bread and the boy. It opened its big mouth and swam towards Tom. Tom was scared. He screamed, "Help! Help! A crocodile!"
+
+Lily heard Tom. She ran to the pond. She saw the crocodile and Tom. She was brave. She picked up a stick and threw it at the crocodile. The crocodile was angry. It turned away from Tom and chased the stick.
+
+Tom was safe. He ran to Lily and hugged her. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You saved me. I'm sorry I was selfish. You can have some bread."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Tom. I'm glad you're okay. I forgive you. Let's share the bread with the ducks. But not with the crocodile. He is mean."
+
+Mom came to the pond. She saw Tom and Lily and the crocodile. She said, "What happened? Are you okay?"
+
+Tom and Lily told mom what happened. Mom was proud of Lily. She said, "You are very brave, Lily. You helped your brother. That's what siblings do."
+
+Mom was also proud of Tom. She said, "You are very sorry, Tom. You learned your lesson. That's what growing up is."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "We love you, mom. And we love each other."
+
+They hugged mom and each other. They fed the ducks with the bread. They stayed away from the crocodile. They had a good day at the park.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to look at the big tree with many shiny things on it. Mommy said they were ornaments and they were very pretty. Anna wanted to touch one of the ornaments. She reached for a red one that looked like a ball.
+
+"Anna, no!" Ben said. "Mommy said we can't touch the ornaments. They can break and make a mess."
+
+But Anna did not listen. She grabbed the red ornament and pulled it. It came off the tree and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. Anna was scared. She dropped the ornament and ran to Ben.
+
+"Ben, I'm sorry!" she said. "I broke the ornament. Mommy will be mad at me."
+
+Ben looked at the broken ornament and the empty spot on the tree. He felt sorry for Anna. He knew she did not mean to break it. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, Anna. We all make mistakes. Mommy will not be mad at you. She will love you anyway. But we have to tell her what happened. Maybe we can help her fix it or get a new one."
+
+Anna nodded. She felt better. She and Ben went to find Mommy and tell her the truth. Mommy was in the kitchen. She saw Anna and Ben holding hands and looking sad.
+
+"What's wrong, my loves?" she asked.
+
+"Mommy, we have to tell you something," Ben said. "Anna broke one of the ornaments. She was curious and she touched it and it fell and it broke. We're sorry, Mommy."
+
+Mommy looked at Anna and Ben. She saw that they were honest and sorry. She smiled and said, "Thank you for telling me, my loves. I'm not mad at you. I'm proud of you for being brave and telling the truth. Accidents happen. The ornament is not important. You are important. I love you both very much."
+
+She hugged them and kissed them. She said, "Let's go to the living room and see if we can fix the ornament or find a new one. Maybe we can make one together. That would be fun."
+
+Anna and Ben smiled. They felt happy. They went to the living room with Mommy. They did not feel embarrassed anymore. They felt loved.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big bag of peanuts on a bench. They were very happy and wanted to eat them.
+
+"Let's share the peanuts," Lily said. "You can have half and I can have half."
+
+But Tom did not want to share. He wanted all the peanuts for himself. He grabbed the bag and ran away.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily shouted. "Give me some peanuts!"
+
+Lily chased Tom around the park. They ran past the swings, the slide, the sandbox and the fountain. They did not see the unknown man who was sitting on the bench. He was the owner of the peanuts. He was very angry and confused.
+
+"Where are my peanuts?" he yelled. "Who took my peanuts?"
+
+He got up and followed Lily and Tom. He was faster than them and soon he caught up with them. He snatched the bag from Tom's hand and scolded them.
+
+"You are very naughty children!" he said. "You should not take things that are not yours. You should not quarrel over peanuts. You should say sorry and be friends."
+
+Lily and Tom felt ashamed and scared. They did not know the man or his peanuts. They did not mean to make him mad. They realized they were wrong and foolish.
+
+"We are sorry, sir," they said. "We did not know the peanuts were yours. We were greedy and selfish. We are sorry for quarreling. We are friends."
+
+The man saw that they were sincere and sorry. He calmed down and smiled. He decided to forgive them and teach them a lesson.
+
+"It's okay, children," he said. "I accept your apology. But you must learn to share and be kind. Peanuts are not worth fighting over. Friends are more important. Here, you can have some peanuts, but only if you promise to share and be friends."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and thanked the man. They took some peanuts and gave some to each other. They ate them happily and peacefully. They learned their lesson and never quarreled over peanuts again.
+Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big pile of leaves. They run to the pile and jump in. The leaves scatter everywhere. They laugh and throw leaves at each other.
+
+"Look, Lila, I have leaves in my hair!" Ben says. He shakes his head and more leaves fall out.
+
+"Me too, Ben, me too!" Lila says. She has red and yellow leaves in her brown hair. She looks like a tree.
+
+They hear a voice. It is Mom. She is calling them. "Lila, Ben, time to go home! It is getting cold!"
+
+They get out of the pile and run to Mom. They hug her. She feels warm.
+
+"Did you have fun, my little leaf monsters?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we had fun!" Lila and Ben say.
+
+Mom smiles and brushes the leaves off their hair. She takes their hands and they walk home. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing by the river. They saw a big raft made of wood and rope. They wanted to go on the raft and have fun.
+
+"Can we go on the raft, please?" Lily asked her mom.
+
+"Only if you wear your life jackets and stay close to the shore," her mom said. "And be careful, the raft might be old and break."
+
+Lily and Ben put on their life jackets and climbed on the raft. They used sticks to push the raft along the water. They saw fish and ducks and frogs. They laughed and sang.
+
+The raft came to a bridge. The bridge was low and the raft was high. Lily and Ben had to duck to go under the bridge. But the raft got stuck. It could not move.
+
+"Oh no, what do we do?" Ben said.
+
+"Maybe we can stretch and push the raft free," Lily said.
+
+They stretched their arms and legs and tried to push the raft. But it was too hard. The raft did not budge.
+
+"Help, help!" they shouted.
+
+Their mom heard them and ran to the bridge. She saw them stuck on the raft. She was scared.
+
+"Don't worry, I'm here!" she said. "I'll get you out."
+
+She found a long rope and tied it to the raft. She pulled the rope with all her strength. The raft moved a little bit. She pulled some more. The raft moved some more. She pulled one last time. The raft came out from under the bridge. It was free.
+
+"Yay, you did it!" Lily and Ben cheered.
+
+They jumped off the raft and hugged their mom. They were happy and safe.
+
+"Thank you, mom, you are the best!" they said.
+
+"You're welcome, my loves," she said. "But no more rafting for today. Let's go home and have some cookies."
+
+They left the raft by the river and walked home. They were tired but glad. They had a big adventure.
+Tom was very happy. It was his birthday and he had a big cake and many presents. He wanted to open them all, but his mom said he had to wait for his friends to come.
+
+"Can I open one now, please?" Tom asked.
+
+"Okay, but only one," his mom said. "Choose the one you like most."
+
+Tom looked at all the presents. He saw a big box with a red bow, a small bag with a yellow sticker, a round ball with a blue ribbon, and a flat envelope with a green stamp. He liked the envelope best. It was thin and light and made a funny sound when he shook it.
+
+He took the envelope and ran to the table. He used his scissors to cut the paper. He was very careful not to cut the inside. He opened the envelope and saw a card. It had a picture of a snowman and a penguin. It said, "Happy birthday, Tom! I hope you have a lot of fun today. Love, Grandma."
+
+Tom smiled. He loved his grandma. She lived far away and it was very cold there. Sometimes she sent him letters and pictures. He liked to read them and look at them.
+
+He turned the card over and saw something else. It was a shiny coin. It was silver and had a hole in the middle. It was very pretty.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asked his mom.
+
+"That's a special coin from Grandma's country," his mom said. "It's called a loonie. You can use it to buy something you like."
+
+"Wow, thank you, Grandma!" Tom said. He hugged the card and the coin. He felt very happy. He had a cold present, but a warm heart.
+Sara and Ben are hungry. They want to eat lunch. But Mom is busy. She is working on the computer.
+
+"Mom, can we have lunch?" Sara asks.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. I have to finish this email. It is very important," Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They look at each other. They have an idea. They wink.
+
+They go to the kitchen. They see a big cake on the table. It is chocolate. It has frosting. It looks yummy.
+
+"Let's eat some cake," Ben says.
+
+"OK, but we have to hurry. Mom will be mad if she sees us," Sara says.
+
+They grab a knife. They cut a big slice of cake. They share it. They eat it fast. It is delicious. They smile.
+
+They hear Mom coming. They hide the knife. They wipe their mouths. They act normal.
+
+Mom enters the kitchen. She sees the cake. She sees the missing slice. She sees Sara and Ben.
+
+"Did you eat some cake?" Mom asks.
+
+Sara and Ben shake their heads. They say nothing.
+
+Mom looks at them. She sees the crumbs. She sees the frosting. She sees their guilty faces.
+
+She knows they are lying. She is not happy. But she is also amused. She decides to play along.
+
+She winks at them. She says, "OK, then. I guess the cake ate itself. How silly. Well, since you are not hungry, you can wait for lunch. I have to go back to work."
+
+She leaves the kitchen. She laughs to herself.
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They are relieved. They are also confused. They wonder why Mom winked. They shrug. They decide to play with their toys. They forget about the cake. They are happy.
+Sara was miserable. It was her birthday, but no one came to her party. She had a cake, balloons, and games, but no friends to share them with. She sat on the floor and cried.
+
+Her mom came in and saw her. She felt sad for Sara. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, honey. I know you wanted a big party, but everyone is sick. They can't come today. They will come another day, I promise."
+
+Sara sniffed and wiped her eyes. She looked at her mom and said, "Really? They will come later?"
+
+Her mom nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, really. And they have gifts for you. They left them at the door. Do you want to see them?"
+
+Sara nodded and smiled too. She said, "Yes, please. I love gifts."
+
+Her mom took her hand and led her to the door. There were many boxes and bags with ribbons and cards. Sara gasped and clapped her hands. She said, "Wow! Look at all the gifts! They are so pretty!"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, they are. And they are all for you. You can open them now, or you can wait until your friends come. It's up to you."
+
+Sara thought for a moment. She said, "I want to open them now. And I want to call my friends and say thank you. And I want to tell them I miss them and I hope they get better soon."
+
+Her mom said, "That's very nice of you, Sara. I'm proud of you. You are a good friend. And you are a brave girl. You don't have to be miserable anymore. You have a lot of love and happiness in your life."
+
+Sara hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my gifts. And I love my friends. And I love my birthday. It's not so bad after all."
+Anna and Ben like to play pretend. They have a big box of costumes and toys. Today, they want to be a prince and a princess. Anna puts on a pink dress and a shiny crown. Ben puts on a blue coat and a sword.
+
+They go to the garden and pretend it is their castle. They see a big flower and a small bug. Anna says, "Look, Ben, this is a pretty flower. It smells good. Do you like it?" Ben says, "Yes, Anna, it is a pretty flower. But look, this is a brave bug. It can fly and crawl. Do you like it?"
+
+Anna says, "Yes, Ben, it is a brave bug. But it is very small. I like big things. Like this tree. It is so tall and green. It is impressive. Do you like it?" Ben says, "Yes, Anna, it is impressive. But it is very still. I like fast things. Like this bike. It is so red and shiny. It can go zoom and beep. Do you like it?"
+
+Anna says, "Yes, Ben, it is a nice bike. But it is very loud. I like quiet things. Like this book. It has many pictures and words. It can tell stories and make me laugh. Do you like it?" Ben says, "Yes, Anna, it is a good book. But it is very boring. I like fun things. Like this ball. It is so round and soft. It can bounce and roll. Do you like it?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other and smile. They say, "We like all the things. They are all different and special. Just like us. We are a prince and a princess. And we are friends." They hug and play with the ball. They are happy.
+Anna liked to play with clay. She had many colors of clay. She made animals and people and houses with clay. She put them on a big tray and showed them to her mom.
+
+"Look, mom, I made a zoo!" Anna said.
+
+"Wow, Anna, you are very good at making clay things. I like your zoo. What are these animals?" Mom asked.
+
+Anna pointed to each clay animal and said their names. "This is a lion, this is a giraffe, this is a monkey, this is a snake, and this is a weird bird."
+
+"A weird bird? What makes it weird?" Mom asked.
+
+Anna smiled and said, "It can rise. Watch!" She took the clay bird in her hand and threw it in the air. The clay bird did not fall down. It stayed in the air and flew around the room.
+
+"Wow, Anna, how did you do that?" Mom asked, surprised.
+
+Anna shrugged and said, "I don't know. I just made it with clay. Maybe it has magic in it."
+
+Mom and Anna watched the weird bird fly and laughed. They liked the weird bird. It was fun to play with. They hoped it would not fly away.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were in the jungle, with big trees and animals. They made noises like monkeys and lions and ran around.
+
+But then they saw a boy they did not know. He was bigger than them and had a mean face. He came over and said, "This is my jungle. You have to go away or I will slap you."
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want to be slapped. They wanted to play. They said, "No, this is not your jungle. This is the park. We can all play here."
+
+The boy did not listen. He reached out his hand to slap Lily. But Ben was brave. He jumped in front of Lily and slapped the boy's hand away. He said, "No, you are not nice. You are not welcome in our jungle. You have to go away or we will slap you back."
+
+The boy was surprised. He did not expect Ben to slap him. He felt a sting in his hand and a tear in his eye. He ran away, crying. He did not want to play in the jungle anymore.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged each other. They were happy. They had saved their jungle. They said, "We are good friends. We are not scared. We can play in the jungle as long as we want." And they did.
+Sam and Mia were playing with flags in the park. They had red flags, blue flags, and yellow flags. They liked to wave them and run around.
+
+"Look at my flag!" Sam said. "It is very flexible. I can bend it and twist it and make shapes with it."
+
+"Wow, that is cool!" Mia said. "Can I try?"
+
+Sam gave Mia his flag. Mia bent it and twisted it and made shapes with it. She made a circle, a triangle, and a star.
+
+"Look at my star!" Mia said. "It is very pretty."
+
+Sam wanted his flag back. He did not like to share. He tried to grab his flag from Mia.
+
+"Hey, that is mine!" Sam said. "Give it back!"
+
+"No, I want to play with it!" Mia said. "It is fun!"
+
+They pulled and tugged on the flag. They did not want to let go. The flag stretched and stretched.
+
+Then, Sam had an idea. He pinched Mia's arm. Mia cried out and let go of the flag.
+
+"Ow, that hurts!" Mia said. "Why did you pinch me?"
+
+Sam took his flag and ran away. He was happy. He had his flag back.
+
+Mia was sad. She had no flag. She had a red mark on her arm. She did not like Sam. He was mean.
+
+She went to find her mom. She told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and gave her a kiss.
+
+"That was not nice of Sam," her mom said. "He should not pinch you. He should share. Do you want another flag?"
+
+Mia nodded. She wanted another flag. She wanted a green flag. She liked green.
+
+Her mom gave her a green flag. It was flexible too. She could bend it and twist it and make shapes with it.
+
+"Thank you, mom," Mia said. "I love you."
+
+"I love you too, Mia," her mom said. "Now, let's go find some nice friends to play with."
+Tom and Mia like to play with their toys in the bath. They have a big shark toy that can swim and make noises. They pretend the shark is hungry and chases the other toys in the water.
+
+One day, the shark toy stops working. It does not swim or make noises anymore. Tom and Mia are sad. They ask their mom what is wrong with the shark.
+
+"The shark is broken," mom says. "Maybe it has too much water inside. We need to clean it and dry it."
+
+Mom takes the shark out of the bath and opens a small hole in its belly. She shakes the shark and water comes out. She uses a towel to clean the shark and the hole. Then she puts a band-aid on the hole.
+
+"Can we play with the shark now?" Tom asks.
+
+"Not yet," mom says. "The shark needs to rest and heal. We can play with it tomorrow."
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They hug the shark and say good night. They hope the shark will be better soon. They put the shark on a shelf and go to bed. They dream of swimming with the shark in the ocean.
+Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play in the swamp. They liked to splash in the water, catch frogs and look for bugs. But one day, they had a quarrel.
+
+"Look, I found a big snail!" Tom said, holding up a slimy shell.
+
+"Yuck, that's disgusting!" Sue said, making a face. "I don't like snails. They are slow and icky."
+
+"No, they are not!" Tom said, feeling angry. "They are cool and shiny. You don't know anything about snails."
+
+"Yes, I do!" Sue said, feeling hurt. "You are the one who doesn't know anything. You are a mean snail-lover."
+
+They shouted at each other and threw mud and sticks. They forgot that they were friends and that they liked to play in the swamp.
+
+Then, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a big alligator coming out of the water. It had sharp teeth and a long tail. It looked hungry and angry.
+
+"Help!" Tom and Sue screamed. They ran away from the alligator as fast as they could. They did not stop until they reached the edge of the swamp.
+
+They looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized that they had been silly and rude. They hugged and said sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry I called you a mean snail-lover," Sue said.
+
+"I'm sorry I called you a yuck snail-hater," Tom said.
+
+They smiled and agreed that snails were not that important. They decided to be friends again and to play in the swamp. But they also decided to be careful of the alligator.
+Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with their toy cars and zoom around the house. One day, they decided to pretend they were in the jungle. They used pillows, blankets and chairs to make a big tent. They put some stuffed animals inside and called them lions, monkeys and snakes.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a banana for the monkey!" Lila said, holding a yellow plastic fruit.
+
+"Good job, Lila, you are very thoughtful. The monkey will be happy," Tom said, smiling. He gave the monkey the banana and made a funny noise.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar from outside the tent. They peeked out and saw a big, furry cat. It was Lila's older brother, Sam, wearing a lion mask. He was trying to scare them.
+
+"Rawr! I am the king of the jungle! I will eat you and your cars!" Sam said, growling.
+
+Lila and Tom were not scared. They knew it was Sam. They grabbed their cars and zoomed out of the tent. They ran around Sam and made honking sounds.
+
+"Beep beep! We are faster than you, lion! You can't catch us!" Lila said, laughing.
+
+"Vroom vroom! We are smarter than you, lion! You can't eat us!" Tom said, giggling.
+
+Sam chased them for a while, but he could not catch them. He was tired and out of breath. He took off his mask and smiled.
+
+"OK, OK, you win. You are the best car drivers in the jungle. Can I play with you?" Sam said, panting.
+
+Lila and Tom looked at each other and nodded. They liked Sam. He was a good brother and a fun lion. They invited him to join their tent and share their toys. They all played happily in the jungle. The end.
+Ben and Lily like to play in the garden. They like to look at the plants and the bugs. One day, they see a new plant. It is big and green and has red flowers.
+
+"Wow, look at that plant!" Ben says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can we touch it?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask Mom first," Ben says.
+
+But Lily is curious. She walks closer to the plant. She reaches out her hand to touch a flower. But the plant is not nice. It has sharp thorns that prick her finger. Lily cries out in pain.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! The plant hurt me!" Lily says.
+
+Ben runs to her and sees the blood on her finger. He is scared and sorry.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, I'm sorry! The plant is harsh. It has thorns. We should not touch it," Ben says.
+
+He takes her hand and they search for Mom. Mom is in the kitchen. She sees them and hears Lily crying.
+
+"What happened, my loves?" Mom asks.
+
+"Lily touched the harsh plant and it hurt her," Ben says.
+
+Mom hugs them and takes Lily to the sink. She washes her finger and puts a band-aid on it.
+
+"There, there. It's okay, Lily. The plant did not mean to hurt you. It has thorns to protect itself from animals. But you are not an animal. You are my sweet girl. And Ben is my brave boy. You did the right thing to come to me," Mom says.
+
+She kisses them and gives them a cookie. They feel better and say sorry to the plant. They learn to be careful and respectful of the plants in the garden. They still like to play there, but they do not touch the harsh plant anymore. They look at it from far and admire its red flowers.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. Lily saw a big hill with many flowers. She wanted to go there.
+
+"Come on, Ben! Let's go to the hill!" she said.
+
+Ben followed her. He liked flowers too. They ran up the hill and looked around. They saw the sun in the sky. It was bright and warm.
+
+"Look, Lily! The sun is in the east!" Ben said. He learned that word from his mom.
+
+"What is east?" Lily asked.
+
+"It is where the sun comes up in the morning. It is the opposite of west, where the sun goes down at night," Ben explained.
+
+Lily nodded. She liked to learn new words. She saw a big tree on the hill. It had many branches and leaves. It looked very old.
+
+"Let's go to the tree!" she said.
+
+They ran to the tree and touched its bark. It was rough and hard. They saw a hole in the tree. It was dark and deep.
+
+"Maybe there is something in the hole," Ben said.
+
+He put his hand in the hole. He felt something soft and furry. He pulled it out. It was a rabbit!
+
+"Wow, a rabbit!" Lily said.
+
+The rabbit was scared. It wriggled and kicked in Ben's hand. It wanted to go back to the hole.
+
+"Stop, rabbit! Don't be afraid! We are nice!" Ben said.
+
+But the rabbit did not listen. It bit Ben's finger. Ben let go of the rabbit. It ran back to the hole.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried.
+
+Lily hugged him. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked.
+
+Ben nodded. He looked at his finger. It was red and sore.
+
+"Let's go back to the park. Mom can help you," Lily said.
+
+They ran down the hill and back to the park. They found their mom and told her what happened. She cleaned Ben's finger and put a band-aid on it.
+
+"Next time, be careful with wild animals. They might be afraid of you and hurt you," she said.
+
+Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They still liked to play in the park, but they did not touch the rabbits anymore. They watched them from afar and said hello. The rabbits did not bite them anymore. They said hello back.
+Tom likes to watch videos on his tablet. He likes to see animals and cars and songs. Sometimes he watches videos with his mom or dad, and they speak to him about what he sees. They tell him the names of the animals and the colors of the cars and the words of the songs.
+
+One day, Tom finds a video that he has never seen before. It has a picture of a big green thing with eyes and teeth. Tom is curious and taps on the video. The video starts and he hears a loud roar. He sees the big green thing move and speak. But Tom does not understand what it says. It says words that are unknown to him. It sounds scary and angry.
+
+Tom is afraid and wants to stop the video. He tries to find the button to turn it off, but he cannot. He starts to cry and calls for his mom. His mom hears him and comes to his room. She sees the video and the big green thing. She is surprised and quickly turns off the video. She hugs Tom and says, "It's okay, Tom. It's just a video. It's not real. It's a dinosaur. A dinosaur is an animal that lived a long time ago, but not anymore. You don't have to be afraid of it. Do you want to watch something else?"
+
+Tom nods and wipes his tears. He says, "Yes, mom. I want to watch something else. I don't like the dinosaur. It's too loud and mean. I like the bunny. The bunny is soft and nice. Can we watch the bunny video?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Sure, Tom. We can watch the bunny video. The bunny is very cute and friendly. It likes to hop and eat carrots. Do you want to hop and eat carrots with the bunny?"
+
+Tom smiles and says, "Yes, mom. I want to hop and eat carrots with the bunny. That sounds fun. Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Tom. You are my brave and smart boy. Now let's watch the bunny video and have some fun."
+Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir the pot with a big spoon. The pot had soup in it. The soup smelled good and sweet.
+
+"Can I taste the soup, mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Not yet, Sara. The soup is very hot. You have to wait until it cools down," mom said.
+
+Sara nodded. She kept stirring the pot. She wanted to taste the soup. She was hungry.
+
+But then, she saw something shiny on the counter. It was a cookie. A big, round, chocolate cookie. Sara loved cookies. She wanted to eat the cookie.
+
+She quit stirring the pot. She put the spoon down. She reached for the cookie.
+
+"Sara, no!" mom said. "That cookie is not for you. That cookie is for dad. He will be home soon. He worked hard today. He deserves a treat."
+
+Sara looked at mom. She looked at the cookie. She looked at the pot. She felt sad. She wanted the cookie. But she also wanted to make dad happy.
+
+She thought for a moment. Then, she smiled. She had an idea.
+
+She picked up the spoon again. She stirred the pot. She said, "Mom, can I give dad some soup? The soup is good and sweet. I think dad will like it."
+
+Mom smiled back. She said, "That's very nice of you, Sara. Yes, you can give dad some soup. And you know what? You can have a cookie, too. You worked hard today. You deserve a treat."
+
+Sara was happy. She hugged mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love soup. And I love cookies. And I love dad."
+
+Mom hugged Sara. She said, "I love you, too, Sara. You are a good and sweet girl."
+Lila and Ben were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that Mom and Dad kept there. They found a big box full of books, toys and clothes. They opened the box and saw many things that made them happy.
+
+"Look, a teddy bear!" Lila said, picking up a brown bear with a red bow. "He is so soft and cute. Can I keep him?"
+
+"Sure, you can keep him. And I can keep this car!" Ben said, holding a blue car with wheels that spun. "It goes vroom vroom!"
+
+They played with their new things for a while, but then they saw something shiny in the corner. They went to see what it was. It was a lamp, but not like the lamps they had in their rooms. It was metal and had a handle and a spout. It was covered with dust.
+
+"What is this?" Lila asked, rubbing the dust off the lamp.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's a magic lamp, like in the story," Ben said, thinking of the story that Mom read to them last night. "Maybe if we rub it, a genie will come out and give us wishes."
+
+They both rubbed the lamp, hoping for a genie. But nothing happened. They rubbed harder and harder, but still nothing. They were about to give up, when they heard a loud noise.
+
+"Whoosh!"
+
+A cloud of dust came out of the spout, making them cough and sneeze. They dropped the lamp and ran to the window, looking for the source of the noise. They saw a big truck outside, blowing its horn.
+
+"It's not a genie, it's a truck!" Lila said, disappointed.
+
+"Maybe the truck is the genie, and the horn is its shout," Ben said, trying to be funny.
+
+They laughed at their silly mistake, and decided to keep the lamp anyway. They thought it was a thoughtful gift from Mom and Dad, even if it was not magic. They put the lamp next to the teddy bear and the car, and hugged each other. They were happy to have each other, and their new things. They were happy to play in the attic.
+Lily and Mom had to pack their bags. They were going to visit Grandma in another city. Lily was excited to see Grandma, but she was sad to leave her toys and her friends.
+
+Mom said, "Lily, please pack your clothes and your toothbrush in this bag. You can also choose one toy to bring with you."
+
+Lily nodded and ran to her room. She picked her favorite dress, her socks, her shoes, and her toothbrush. She also grabbed her teddy bear, her doll, and her puzzle. She stuffed them all in the bag. The bag was very big and heavy.
+
+Mom came to check on Lily. She saw the bag and said, "Lily, you packed too many things. The bag is too full. We can't take it in the taxi. You have to leave some things behind."
+
+Lily felt ashamed. She did not listen to Mom. She wanted to bring all her toys. She did not want to leave them alone. She said, "But Mom, I love all my toys. I will miss them. Can't we take them all?"
+
+Mom shook her head. She said, "No, Lily, we can't. We have to pack light. We can only take one toy. You have to choose. Which one do you want to bring?"
+
+Lily looked at her toys. She loved them all. She did not know which one to choose. She felt tears in her eyes. She said, "I don't know, Mom. I don't want to choose."
+
+Mom hugged Lily. She said, "I know, Lily. It's hard to choose. But you have to. Think about which toy makes you happy. Which toy do you want to show Grandma? Which toy do you want to play with on the trip?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She wiped her eyes. She said, "I want to bring my teddy bear. He is soft and cuddly. He makes me happy. I want to show him to Grandma. I want to play with him on the trip."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "That's a good choice, Lily. Your teddy bear is very nice. You can pack him in the bag. But you have to leave the doll and the puzzle behind. You can play with them when we come back. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Mom. I will leave them behind. I will play with them when we come back. I'm sorry I packed too many things."
+
+Mom said, "It's OK, Lily. I'm not mad at you. I'm proud of you. You made a good decision. Now, let's go. The taxi is waiting for us. Are you ready to see Grandma?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, Mom. I'm ready. Let's go. I can't wait to see Grandma."
+
+Mom and Lily took the bag and went to the taxi. They said goodbye to their house and their toys. They said hello to the taxi driver and the city. They were on their way to Grandma's. Lily held her teddy bear close. She was happy. She was not ashamed anymore.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. Ben has a dog. His name is Spot. Spot is white and brown. Mia likes Spot.
+
+One day, Ben and Mia go to the park with Spot. Ben has a lead. He puts the lead on Spot. He says, "Come on, Spot. Let's go for a walk." Mia says, "Can I hold the lead, too?" Ben says, "OK. You can hold the lead with me."
+
+They walk with Spot in the park. They see a pond. The pond is blue. There are ducks in the pond. The ducks are yellow and green. Spot likes the ducks. He barks at the ducks. He pulls the lead. Ben and Mia hold the lead tight. They say, "No, Spot. Stay with us."
+
+They walk away from the pond. They see a fountain. The fountain is white. There is water in the fountain. The water is clean. Spot likes the water. He jumps in the fountain. He splashes the water. He gets wet. Ben and Mia get wet, too. They laugh. They say, "Spot, you are silly."
+
+They walk out of the fountain. They see a bench. The bench is red. There is a man on the bench. The man is old. He has a hat. He smiles at Ben and Mia. He says, "Hello, children. What a nice dog you have." Ben and Mia say, "Thank you. His name is Spot. He likes to play." The man says, "Can I pet him?" Ben and Mia say, "Yes, you can. He is friendly."
+
+The man pets Spot. Spot licks the man. The man laughs. He says, "He is a good dog. You are good children. Have a nice day." Ben and Mia say, "You too. Bye." They wave at the man. They walk back to the park gate. They have had a fun day. They love Spot. Spot loves them.
+On Tuesday, Lily and Tom went to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. Mom said they could play for one hour, then they had to go home.
+
+Lily and Tom had fun, but they did not watch the time. They did not want to leave the park. When Mom said it was time to go, they said no. They said they wanted to play more.
+
+Mom was not happy. She said they had to be honest and listen to her. She said she allowed them to play for one hour, and they had to keep their promise. She said if they did not go now, they could not come back to the park tomorrow.
+
+Lily and Tom did not like that. They did not want to miss the park tomorrow. They said they were sorry and they would go now. They said they would be honest and listen to Mom next time.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said she was glad they said sorry and they were honest. She said they could come back to the park tomorrow, but they had to watch the time. Lily and Tom said yes and they went home with Mom. They learned to be honest and listen to Mom.
+Anna and Ben were very thirsty. They had been walking in the hot sun for a long time. They wanted to find some water and shade.
+
+"Look, Ben!" Anna said. "I see some green trees over there. Maybe there is water too."
+
+They ran towards the trees. They saw a big pool of water. It was an oasis. They were very happy.
+
+"Can we drink some water, please?" Anna requested.
+
+"Yes, of course," Ben said. "But be careful. Don't drink too much. And don't go too deep."
+
+They knelt down and drank some water. It was cool and sweet. They felt better.
+
+They saw some pink flowers near the water. They were very pretty. Anna picked one and gave it to Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Anna," Ben said. "You are very kind. This is a nice oasis. Can we stay here for a while?"
+
+"Yes, Ben," Anna said. "We can stay here and rest. And maybe we can see some animals too."
+
+They smiled and hugged. They were very happy. They had found a nice oasis.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside and explore new things. One day, they found a big lake near their house. It was blue and shiny and had many fish and ducks.
+
+"Wow, look at the lake!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and big. Can we go closer?"
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Ben said. "But we have to be careful. The lake is deep and wet. We don't want to fall in."
+
+They walked to the edge of the lake and looked at the water. They saw some fish swimming and some ducks quacking. They also saw some rocks and sticks and leaves.
+
+"Look, I found a stick!" Ben said. "I can use it to poke the water and make waves."
+
+"Look, I found a rock!" Lily said. "I can use it to skip on the water and make splashes."
+
+They had fun playing with the stick and the rock. They threw them in the water and watched the ripples. They laughed and cheered.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog barking. It was running towards them. It looked angry and scary.
+
+"Uh-oh, a dog!" Lily said. "It is big and loud. It might hurt us. What do we do?"
+
+"Run!" Ben said. "We have to hide. Come on, follow me."
+
+They ran away from the dog. They looked for a place to hide. They saw a big bush near the lake. It had many leaves and branches.
+
+"Here, here!" Ben said. "We can hide behind the bush. The dog won't see us."
+
+They ran behind the bush and crouched down. They held each other's hands. They were scared and nervous.
+
+They peeked through the leaves and saw the dog. It was sniffing and barking. It was looking for them. It came closer and closer to the bush.
+
+"Shh, shh!" Lily said. "We have to be quiet. The dog might hear us."
+
+"OK, OK!" Ben said. "We have to be brave. We have to stick together."
+
+They peeked again and saw the dog. It was right in front of the bush. It was growling and drooling. It was about to find them.
+
+But then, they heard another noise. It was a voice. It was their mom calling them.
+
+"Lily! Ben! Where are you?" their mom said. "It is time to go home. Come on, let's go."
+
+They heard their mom and felt relieved. They knew their mom was dependable and kind. She would protect them from the dog.
+
+"Mom! Mom! We are here!" Lily and Ben said. "We are behind the bush. Help us, please!"
+
+They came out from behind the bush and ran to their mom. Their mom saw them and hugged them. She also saw the dog and shooed it away.
+
+"Are you OK, kids?" their mom said. "What were you doing behind the bush?"
+
+"We were playing by the lake, mom," Lily said. "But then, a big dog came and chased us. We were scared and hid behind the bush."
+
+"We are sorry, mom," Ben said. "We didn't mean to go too far. We just wanted to have fun."
+
+"It's OK, kids," their mom said. "I'm glad you are safe and sound. But next time, be more careful. The lake can be dangerous and the dog can be mean. You have to stay close to me and listen to me."
+
+"Yes, mom," Lily and Ben said. "We will, we promise."
+
+They hugged their mom and thanked her. They also thanked each other for being good friends. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and listen to their mom. They also learned to be brave and stick together. They still liked the lake, but they also liked their mom more. She was the best.
+Sara loved to watch cartoons on TV. She liked the furry animals that talked and sang and had fun. She wanted to draw them on paper, but she was not very good at it. Her lines were messy and her colors were wrong. She felt sad and angry.
+
+One day, her big brother Ben saw her drawings and said, "Sara, do you want to improve your drawings?" Sara nodded. Ben said, "Then you have to practice a lot. And you have to look at the cartoons carefully and see how they are made. And you have to ask for help when you need it. Do you want me to help you?" Sara nodded again.
+
+Ben showed Sara how to use a pencil and an eraser. He taught her how to make shapes and curves and details. He helped her choose the right colors and fill in the spaces. He praised her when she did well and encouraged her when she made mistakes. Sara listened and learned and tried her best.
+
+After a few days, Sara's drawings looked much better. They looked more like the cartoons she loved. She was happy and proud. She showed them to Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. You helped me improve my drawings." Ben smiled and said, "You are welcome, Sara. You are a good sister. You worked hard and improved your drawings. I am proud of you."
+
+Moral: If you want to improve your skills, you have to practice, observe, and ask for help. And you have to be kind and grateful to those who help you.
+Lila was a girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was a velvet doll with blue eyes and yellow hair. She called her doll Amy and took her everywhere.
+
+One day, Lila went to the park with her mom and Amy. She saw some other kids playing with a ball and wanted to join them. She left Amy on a bench and ran to the ball. She had fun kicking and throwing the ball with the other kids.
+
+But when she came back to the bench, Amy was gone. Lila looked around and saw a big dog running away with Amy in its mouth. The dog had bitten Amy and made her dirty and torn. Lila was very sad and angry. She ran after the dog and shouted, "Give me back my doll!"
+
+The dog did not listen. It ran faster and disappeared behind some trees. Lila could not catch it. She fell on the grass and started to weep. She wept and wept and wept.
+
+Her mom came and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Lila. I know you loved Amy very much. But you should not have left her alone on the bench. You should have taken care of her. Maybe someone else would have taken her or the dog would not have seen her."
+
+Lila nodded. She understood. She had made a mistake. She had not been a good friend to Amy. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Amy. I will be more careful next time. I will not leave my things behind. I will respect and protect them."
+
+Her mom smiled and kissed her. She said, "That's good, Lila. I'm proud of you. You have learned a lesson. Maybe we can find another doll for you. But remember, no doll can replace Amy. She was special. You should always cherish your memories of her."
+
+Lila smiled too. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love Amy. I will always remember her." She wiped her tears and hugged her mom. They went home together.
+Tim and Pam are playing catch with a ball in the yard. They throw the ball to each other and have fun. But then, Tim throws the ball too hard and it goes over the fence. Pam runs after the ball and sees it on the other side of the fence. She tries to reach it, but she can't.
+
+She sees a big cow in the field next to the fence. The cow has a big bag under it with milk. Pam likes milk. She thinks maybe the cow will let her have some milk if she gives it the ball. She says, "Hello, cow. Can I have some milk, please? I have a ball for you."
+
+The cow looks at Pam and the ball. It does not want the ball. It wants to eat grass. It says, "Moo." It moves its big bag and sprays milk at Pam. Pam gets wet and cold. She does not like it. She says, "No, cow. Stop it. I don't want milk. I want my ball."
+
+Tim hears Pam and runs to the fence. He sees Pam and the cow. He sees the milk and the ball. He laughs. He says, "Pam, you are wet. The cow gave you milk. But you don't have the ball. I have the ball." He shows Pam the ball. He says, "The ball bounced back over the fence. I caught it. Do you want to play catch again?"
+
+Pam is angry. She says, "No, Tim. I don't want to play catch. I want to go home. I want to change my clothes. I want to be dry. And I don't like cows." She walks away from the fence. Tim follows her. He says, "Sorry, Pam. I didn't mean to throw the ball too hard. It was an accident. Please don't be mad. I'll share my milk with you." He holds out his cup of milk. Pam looks at the milk. She says, "No, thank you. I've had enough milk for today." She walks faster. Tim runs after her. He says, "Wait, Pam. Wait for me."
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. They lived near a big mountain that had snow on top. Sometimes they would go with their parents to the mountain and make snowmen and snowballs.
+
+One day, they decided to climb the mountain by themselves. They put on their warm clothes and boots and took a backpack with some snacks and water. They said goodbye to their parents and started to walk up the hill.
+
+They saw many things on their way: trees, flowers, birds, and rocks. They also met some other people who were climbing the mountain. They said hello and smiled. Tom and Lily felt happy and proud.
+
+When they reached the top of the mountain, they were very tired but also very excited. They looked around and saw the whole world below them. They saw their house, their school, their park, and their friends. They also saw the sun shining and the clouds moving.
+
+They hugged each other and shouted, "We did it! We climbed the mountain!"
+
+Then they heard a loud sound. It was people clapping for them. They turned around and saw their parents and their friends who had followed them. They had a big sign that said, "Well done, Tom and Lily! You are the best!"
+
+Tom and Lily felt very happy and surprised. They ran to their parents and their friends and thanked them. They were very popular and everyone wanted to talk to them and take pictures with them.
+
+They had a big party on the mountain with cake and juice and balloons. They sang songs and played games and had fun. They also shared their snacks and water with everyone.
+
+They had the best day ever. They learned that climbing a mountain was hard but also fun. They also learned that they had the best friends and family in the world. They were very lucky and very happy.
+Lily liked to watch TV with her mom and dad. She liked to see the animals and the colors and the songs. Sometimes, she saw people talk about mail. They said mail was letters and pictures and things that came in a big box outside. Lily wanted to see mail too.
+
+One day, Lily saw her mom write a letter. She asked, "Mom, what are you doing?" Mom said, "I am writing a letter to Grandma. She lives far away and I miss her. I will mail this letter to her and she will be happy." Lily said, "Can I mail something too?" Mom said, "Sure, what do you want to mail?"
+
+Lily thought hard. She looked around and saw her favorite toy. It was a soft bear with a red bow. She loved her bear very much. She said, "I want to mail my bear to Grandma. She will like it and hug it." Mom said, "Are you sure? You will not have your bear anymore." Lily said, "Yes, I am sure. Grandma will be happy and I have other toys."
+
+Mom helped Lily put her bear in a big envelope. She wrote Grandma's name and address on it. She gave Lily a stamp and let her stick it on the envelope. She said, "Now we can mail your bear to Grandma. We have to go to the post office and give it to the mailman. He will take it to Grandma's house." Lily said, "OK, let's go!"
+
+They went to the post office and gave the envelope to the mailman. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. This is a very nice gift for Grandma. She will love it." Lily smiled too and said, "Bye, bear. Have fun with Grandma." She waved and hugged her mom.
+
+The next day, Lily wanted to watch TV again. She turned it on and saw a show about mail. She saw the mailman deliver letters and packages to different houses. She wondered if her bear was in one of them. She hoped Grandma got her bear and was happy. She felt a little sad and missed her bear.
+
+She said, "Mom, can we call Grandma and see if she got my bear?" Mom said, "Sure, let's call her." They called Grandma and heard her voice. Grandma said, "Hello, Lily. I have a surprise for you. Guess what I got in the mail today?" Lily said, "What, Grandma?" Grandma said, "I got your bear! He is so cute and soft and I love him. Thank you, Lily. You are very sweet and thoughtful." Lily said, "You're welcome, Grandma. I'm glad you like him. Do you hug him a lot?" Grandma said, "Yes, I do. He is my new friend. Do you want to see him?" Lily said, "Yes, please."
+
+Grandma said, "OK, wait a minute. I will turn on my TV and show you." Lily was confused. She said, "How can you show me on your TV?" Mom said, "Grandma has a special TV that can talk to our TV. It is called a video call. You can see Grandma and she can see you. It is like magic." Lily said, "Wow, that is cool. I want to see."
+
+Grandma turned on her TV and Lily saw her face. She also saw her bear in her arms. She said, "Hi, Grandma. Hi, bear. You look happy." Grandma said, "Hi, Lily. We are happy. We miss you and love you." Lily said, "I miss you and love you too. And I love my bear. But I'm happy you have him. He can keep you company." Grandma said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very generous and kind. You made my day." Lily said, "You're welcome, Grandma. You made my day too."
+
+They smiled and waved and talked some more. Lily was happy to see Grandma and her bear. She was not sad anymore. She learned that mail can make people happy. She also learned that TV can do magic. She wondered what else she could mail and see on TV. She had many ideas. She was excited.
+Ben was playing with his toy cars in the garden. He liked to imagine that they were racing on a big track. He made vroom-vroom noises and moved them around the grass. He was having fun.
+
+But then he saw a furry cat on the fence. He loved cats and wanted to pet it. He left his cars and ran to the fence. He tried to climb up and reach the cat. But the fence was sharp and he hurt his hand. He cried out loud.
+
+Mum heard him and came to see what was wrong. She saw his hand bleeding and the cat running away. She hugged him and said, "Oh, Ben, you poor thing. Let's go inside and put a bandage on your hand. It will make it feel better."
+
+She took him inside and washed his hand. She put a bandage on it and gave him a kiss. She said, "There, now you are brave and strong. Do you want to play with your cars again?"
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, please. And can I have a cookie too?"
+
+Mum laughed and said, "Of course you can. But next time, be careful with the fence. And maybe the cat will come back another day. You can imagine that it is your friend and that you are playing together."
+
+Ben liked that idea. He thanked Mum and went back to the garden. He played with his cars and imagined that the cat was watching him and cheering him on. He was happy.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they do not like to bathe. They think the water is too cold and the soap is too sticky. They always run away when Mom says it is time to bathe.
+
+One day, Mom has a new idea. She says, "Do you want to play a game in the bath?" Sara and Tom are curious. They ask, "What game, Mom?" Mom says, "It is a number game. I have some foam numbers that stick to the wall. You can make words and count with them. And you can splash and sing too."
+
+Sara and Tom agree to try the game. They go to the bathroom with Mom. Mom fills the tub with warm water and bubbles. She gives Sara and Tom some foam numbers. They start to play with them. They stick them to the wall and say the numbers out loud. They make words like cat, dog, and sun. They count how many fingers and toes they have. They have fun.
+
+But then, Tom sees something scary. He sees a big spider on the ceiling. He screams, "Spider, spider, spider!" He points to the spider. Sara sees it too. She screams, "Spider, spider, spider!" She hugs Tom. They are both afraid.
+
+Mom hears them scream. She comes to the bathroom. She sees the spider. She says, "Don't worry, Sara and Tom. It is just a spider. It will not hurt you. It is more afraid of you than you are of it. I will get rid of it." She gets a paper towel and catches the spider. She takes it outside and lets it go. She says, "There, the spider is gone. You are safe. You are brave."
+
+Sara and Tom feel better. They thank Mom. They say, "We are sorry we screamed, Mom. We do not like spiders. They are scary." Mom says, "It is okay to scream when you are scared. But you do not have to be scared of spiders. They are just animals. They have a place in the world too. Maybe you can learn more about them when you are older."
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They say, "Maybe, Mom. But for now, we like to play with numbers. They are not scary. They are fun." Mom smiles. She says, "I am glad you like to play with numbers.

+Lily and Tom were eager to sell lemonade. They made a big sign with yellow and green crayons. They put a table and some cups in front of their building. They poured lemonade from a big jug into a pitcher.

+
+But the book was too heavy for Lily. When she pulled it, the book fell down and hit her on the head. Lily cried out in pain and fear. The book also made a loud noise that scared her more. She dropped the book and ran to her mom and dad.

+
+Mom and dad kissed Lily's bump and told her it was okay. They said the dragon book was not for little girls. It had big words and scary stories.

+
+Sara has a ball. She throws the ball to Ben. Ben catches the ball and throws it back. They have fun with the ball. But one time, Ben throws the ball too hard. The ball goes over Sara's head and into the pond.
+
+"Oh no!" Sara says. "The ball is in the pond!"
+
+They run to the edge of the pond. They see the ball floating on the water. They try to reach the ball, but it is too far. They wonder how they can get the ball back.
+
+They see a stick on the ground. Sara picks up the stick. She thinks the stick can help. She tries to poke the ball with the stick, but the stick is too short. She wonders if she can find a longer stick.
+
+She sees another stick near a tree. She runs to the tree and gets the stick. She runs back to the pond and gives the stick to Ben. Ben tries to poke the ball with the stick, but the stick is too thin. It breaks in half. He wonders if he can find a stronger stick.
+
+He sees another stick under a bench. He runs to the bench and gets the stick. He runs back to the pond and pokes the ball with the stick. The stick is long and strong. It pushes the ball closer to the edge of the pond. Sara reaches out and grabs the ball.
+
+"Yay!" Sara says. "We got the ball back!"
+
+They hug each other and smile. They are happy. They thank the stick for helping them. They wonder if the stick wants to play with them. They think the stick is fit to be their friend.

+Lila and Ben were sad and angry. They did not listen to their mom. They waited until she was busy and ran to the boat. They climbed on the deck and looked around. They saw a lot of buttons and levers and ropes. They wanted to touch them and play with them.
+
+But then they heard a voice. It was the captain of the boat. He was very mad. He shouted at them and told them to get off his boat. He said they were naughty and could break his boat. He said he would call their mom and tell her what they did.
+
+Lila and Ben were scared and sorry. They did not want to make the captain mad. They did not want to break his boat. They did not want their mom to know. They quit touching the buttons and levers and ropes. They ran off the boat and back to their mom.
+
+They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They said they would not go near the boat again. They said they would listen to her. Their mom was glad and forgave them. She said they could still play near the harbor, but they had to be careful and respectful. She said she loved them and gave them a yummy snack. Lila and Ben were happy and learned their lesson. They still liked to watch the boat, but from a safe distance.
+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 liked to watch the fish swim in the water.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big fish near the shore. It was shiny and green and had a long tail. Lily wanted to catch it. She threw her rod into the water and waited. The fish saw the bait and swam closer. Lily was very excited.
+
+But then, she heard a loud noise. It was a boat with a big engine. It was going very fast on the lake. It made big waves and splashed water everywhere. Lily was scared. She wanted the boat to go away.
+
+She looked at her dad. He was busy with his own rod. He did not see the boat or the fish. He ignored Lily when she called him. He was only interested in catching fish.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want to fish anymore. She pulled her rod out of the water. The fish was gone. It had swum away from the noise. Lily put her rod and her bucket in the car. She did not say goodbye to her dad. She did not want to talk to him. She hoped he would notice her and say sorry. But he did not. He was a slow fisherman and a bad dad.
+Tom loves to play his trumpet. He plays it every day in his room. He likes to make loud noises and pretend he is in a band. But his sister Anna hates his trumpet. She thinks it is too noisy and hurts her ears. She wants to read her books and draw her pictures in peace.
+
+One day, Anna has a plan. She waits until Tom is ready to play his trumpet. She sees him take it out of his case and put it to his mouth. Then she runs into his room and grabs his trumpet. She says, "No more trumpet! It is mine now!" She runs away with it and locks herself in her room.
+
+Tom is very angry and sad. He shouts, "Give me back my trumpet! It is not yours! You are mean!" He bangs on her door and tries to open it. But it is locked and he cannot get in. He cries and sits on the floor.
+
+Anna hears him cry and feels sorry. She knows she was mean and she does not really want his trumpet. She only wanted him to be quiet. She opens the door and gives him back his trumpet. She says, "I am sorry, Tom. I was wrong. You can play your trumpet. But can you please play it a little softer? It is too loud for me."
+
+Tom wipes his tears and hugs his sister. He says, "I am sorry, too, Anna. I did not know you hated my trumpet. I will play it softer. But can you please let me play sometimes? It is fun for me."
+
+Anna nods and smiles. She says, "OK, Tom. We can share. Maybe you can teach me how to play it, too. Then we can be in a band together."
+
+Tom and Anna are happy and make up. They go to their room and play with the trumpet and the books and the pictures. They learn to be nice to each other and respect their differences.
+Ben liked to play with his cubes. He had many cubes of different colors and sizes. He could stack them, roll them, or make shapes with them. He had fun with his cubes.
+

+
+He pressed one of the marks on the cube. The cube made a loud beep. Ben was surprised. He pressed another mark. The cube made a different sound. Ben smiled. He liked the sounds. He pressed more marks. The cube made more sounds.

+
+No one heard him. The cube became brighter and brighter. Ben felt pain. He screamed. The cube flashed. Ben disappeared. The cube fell to the floor. It was silent and dark. No one saw it. No one knew what happened to Ben. The cube was a bad cube. It made Ben disappear.

+"Let's play search!" Lily said. "We can hide the shapes and find them."

+
+One day, Ben came home from the park and saw his dad in the bathroom. His dad had a white foam on his face and a sharp thing in his hand. Ben wondered what his dad was doing. He ran to his dad and asked, "Dad, what are you doing with your mustache?"
+
+His dad smiled and said, "I'm shaving, Ben. I'm making my mustache vanish. Do you want to see?" Ben nodded and watched as his dad moved the sharp thing over his face. The white foam and the mustache came off with the sharp thing. Ben was amazed. His dad's mustache was gone!
+
+Ben touched his dad's face and felt how smooth it was. He said, "Dad, you look different. Where did your mustache go?" His dad said, "It's in the sink, Ben. Don't worry, it will grow back soon. Do you like my new look?" Ben thought for a moment. He said, "I like your mustache better, Dad. It was more fun and useful. Can you make it come back?" His dad hugged him and said, "Sure, Ben. I can make it come back. But for now, let's go and have some ice cream. How does that sound?" Ben smiled and said, "That sounds good, Dad. But next time, don't make your mustache vanish, okay?"

+
+Mom hears Tom and runs to him. She sees the bug and the sting. She knows it is a wasp, a kind of bug that can be very mean. She picks up Tom and takes him inside.

+
+They go closer to the animal. It is eating some oats from a bag. The bag says "Wild Oats". The animal sees them and makes a loud noise.

+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big bird with brown feathers and a red thing on its head. It was a turkey. Lily and Ben liked turkeys. They wanted to pet it.
+
+They ran to the turkey and said hello. The turkey did not say hello back. It did not move. It did not make any noise. Lily and Ben were confused. They touched the turkey. It was hard and cold. It was not a real turkey. It was a fake turkey.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted a real turkey. They looked around. They saw a big truck with a sign. The sign said "Farm Animals for Sale". The truck had many cages with different animals inside. There were cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, and more turkeys.
+
+Lily and Ben had an idea. They ran to the truck. They opened a cage with a real turkey. They took the turkey out. They put the fake turkey in. They closed the cage. They ran back to the garden with the real turkey.
+
+The real turkey was soft and warm. It made noise. It said "gobble gobble". Lily and Ben were happy. They petted the turkey. They gave it some corn. They played with it. They named it Tom.

+
+Tom and Mia were amazed. They had never seen a gorilla clean before. They asked their mom why he was doing that. Their mom said that the gorilla liked to keep his home neat and tidy. He was a smart and caring animal. He wanted to have a nice place to live and sleep.

+Sara and Ben like to play with marbles. They have many marbles of different colors and sizes. They roll them on the floor and make them go fast. Sometimes they make them hit each other and see which one goes farther.
+
+One day, they find a big marble in the yard. It is shiny and blue and has white swirls. They think it is very pretty and want to play with it. But it is wet from the rain. They try to dry it with a towel, but it is still slippery. They try to dry it with a hair dryer, but it is too loud and scary. They try to dry it with the sun, but it takes too long.
+
+They decide to wait until the next day. They put the marble in a safe place and go to bed. They dream of playing with the big marble and having fun.
+
+The next day, they wake up and run to the marble. It is dry and smooth and shiny. They are very happy and ready to play. They take the marble to the floor and roll it. It goes very fast and makes a nice sound. They laugh and clap and cheer. They love their big marble and play with it all day.

+
+"Let's go in the box," Sara said.
+
+"OK," Ben said.
+
+They crawled into the hole. It was dark and quiet. They felt something soft and fuzzy. It was a blanket. They pulled the blanket over them. They giggled and whispered.
+
+"Shh, we are hiding," Sara said.
+
+"Maybe someone will find us," Ben said.
+
+They waited and waited. But no one came. They got bored and hungry. They wanted to go out. They pushed the blanket away. But they saw nothing. The hole was gone. The box was gone. The park was gone. Everything was gone.
+
+"Where are we?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said.
+
+They were scared and sad. They hugged each other. They cried. They wanted their mommies and daddies. They wanted their home. They wanted their park. They wanted their box. They did not know how to get back. They did not know why they vanished. They did not like it. It was bitter.
+Lila liked to write. She had a big book with many pages. She used a crayon to write her name, her mom's name, and her dog's name. She also drew pictures of flowers, stars, and hearts.
+
+One day, she saw a shiny thing on the table. It was a steel pen. It was mom's pen. Mom used it to write important things. Lila wanted to try it. She took the pen and opened her book. She wrote with the pen on a new page. But the pen did not make nice colors like the crayon. It made black lines that were hard to erase. Lila tried to rub them out, but they only got bigger and messier.
+
+Mom came into the room and saw Lila with the pen and the book. She was angry. She took the pen and the book from Lila. She said, "Lila, this is not your pen. This is my pen. You should not take things that are not yours. And you should not write on my book. You ruined it. It was a special book. I am very sad and mad at you."
+
+Lila felt ashamed. She did not mean to make mom sad and mad. She did not know the pen was bad. She only wanted to write. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you. I love to write. Can I have a new book and a new crayon?"
+
+Mom sighed. She was still angry, but she also loved Lila. She said, "I love you too, Lila. But you have to learn to ask before you use things that are not yours. And you have to be careful with what you write on. Writing is good, but you have to respect other people's things. I will get you a new book and a new crayon, but you have to promise me to never touch my pen again. And you have to help me clean this mess."
+
+Lila nodded. She said, "I promise, mom. I will never touch your pen again. And I will help you clean. Thank you for the new book and the new crayon. Can I write you a sorry note?"
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can write me a sorry note. But only with your crayon. And only on your book. Come on, let's go get them." She hugged Lila and they went to the store. Lila wrote a sorry note with a big heart and gave it to mom. Mom forgave her and kissed her. Lila was happy. She learned a lesson and she still liked to write.
+Tim had a yellow robot that he loved very much. He played with it every day and made it do funny things. He liked to make it say "beep beep" and "hello Tim". He also liked to make it dance and spin.
+
+One day, Tim was playing with his robot in the garden. He saw a big butterfly and wanted to catch it. He left his robot on the grass and ran after the butterfly. He followed it to the other side of the garden, where there were many flowers.
+
+But when he came back, his robot was gone. He looked everywhere, but he could not find it. He felt very sad and scared. He wondered who took his robot and where it went. He cried and called for his mom.
+
+His mom heard him and came to the garden. She saw him crying and asked him what was wrong. He told her that his robot disappeared. She hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Tim. Maybe your robot just went for a walk. Let's look for it together."
+
+They searched the garden and found the robot behind a bush. It was covered with dirt and leaves. It looked like it had fallen down and rolled there. Tim was very happy to see his robot. He ran to it and picked it up. He said, "I'm sorry, robot. I missed you so much. Are you okay?"
+
+The robot said, "Beep beep. Hello Tim. I'm okay. I missed you too." It smiled and blinked its eyes. Tim smiled and hugged his robot. He said, "You are the best robot ever. I will never leave you alone again."
+
+His mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you found your robot, Tim. It's a very nice robot. But remember, it's not alive. It's just a toy. You have to take good care of it and not let it get dirty or broken."
+
+Tim nodded and said, "I know, mom. I love my robot, but I love you more. You are alive and you are my mom." He kissed his mom and said, "Thank you for helping me find my robot."
+
+His mom kissed him back and said, "You're welcome, Tim. I love you too. Now let's go inside and clean your robot. And maybe we can have some cookies and milk too."
+
+Tim agreed and followed his mom inside. He held his robot in his arms and said, "Come on, robot. Let's go have some fun." The robot said, "Beep beep. Yes, Tim. Let's go have some fun." They both laughed and went inside.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pony in the park. The pony is brown and has a long mane.
+
+"Wow, look at the pony!" Lily says. "Can we pet it?"
+
+"Maybe," Ben says. "But be careful. Ponies can bite."
+
+They walk slowly to the pony. The pony looks at them and snorts. Lily and Ben reach out their hands and touch the pony's nose. The pony is soft and warm.
+
+"Hello, pony," Lily says. "You are so pretty. What is your name?"
+
+The pony does not answer. It just shakes its head and makes a funny sound.
+
+"Did the pony just joke?" Ben asks.
+
+"I think so," Lily says. "Maybe the pony likes us."
+
+They giggle and stroke the pony's mane. The pony nuzzles their hands and makes another funny sound.
+
+"Let's joke back," Lily says. "How do you joke with a pony?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. Then he says, "Maybe we can make a funny face."
+
+He scrunches up his nose and sticks out his tongue. Lily copies him. They make funny faces at the pony.
+
+The pony sees them and laughs. It sounds like a neigh. Lily and Ben laugh too. They are happy. They have made a new friend.
+Lily liked to dream. She dreamed of many things. She dreamed of flying in a big plane. She dreamed of swimming with fish. She dreamed of playing with a computer.
+
+A computer was a thing that had a screen and a keyboard. Lily saw her dad use a computer for work. He typed and clicked and talked to people on the screen. Lily wanted to try it too. But her dad said no. He said the computer was expensive and not for kids.
+
+One day, Lily found the computer in her dad's room. He was not there. Lily was curious. She climbed on the chair and turned on the computer. She saw many pictures and words on the screen. She touched the keyboard and the mouse. She made the pictures and words change. She felt happy and smart.
+
+But then she heard her dad's voice. He was coming back. Lily was scared. She knew she did a bad thing. She quickly turned off the computer and ran away. She hid under her bed.
+
+Her dad came in and saw the computer. He was angry. He knew Lily used it. He called her name. Lily did not answer. She felt sorry and sad. She wished she did not touch the computer. She wished she only dreamed of it.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and forks. But they did not use knives. Knives were sharp and dangerous. Mommy and Daddy said so.
+
+One day, Lily saw a shiny knife on the counter. She wanted to see it better. She climbed on a chair and reached for the knife. But the chair was wobbly and Lily lost her balance. She fell off the chair and the knife fell with her. It landed on the floor next to her hand.
+
+Ben saw what happened and ran to Lily. He was scared. He shouted for Mommy and Daddy. They came quickly and saw the knife and Lily. They were very worried. They picked up Lily and checked if she was hurt. They hugged her and said she was lucky. The knife did not cut her. It only made a small scratch.
+
+Mommy and Daddy told Lily that she should never touch knives. They said knives were not for playing. They said knives were important tools for grown-ups. They said Lily and Ben were more important than any knife. They said they loved them very much. Lily and Ben said they were sorry and they loved them too. They learned their lesson and never played with knives again.
+Tom liked to paint. He had many colors and brushes. He painted on paper, on walls, on rocks. He painted what he saw and what he dreamed.
+
+One day, he wanted to paint a journey. He asked his mom, "Can we go on a journey?" His mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can. Where do you want to go?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He said, "I want to go to the farm. I want to see the cows and the sheep and the chickens. I want to paint them."
+
+His mom said, "Okay, let's go to the farm." They got in the car and drove to the farm. Tom was very happy. He saw the animals and the fields and the barn. He said, "Wow, this is a great journey."
+
+He took out his paper and his colors and his brushes. He started to paint the farm. He painted the cows and the sheep and the chickens. He painted the grass and the sky and the sun. He painted with joy and love.
+
+He showed his mom his painting. His mom said, "This is a beautiful painting, Tom. You are a very good painter."
+
+Tom said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love this journey."
+
+They hugged and kissed. Then they went to the farmer. The farmer gave them some milk and some cheese and some eggs. He said, "Thank you for visiting my farm. I hope you enjoyed it."
+
+Tom said, "Thank you, farmer. I did enjoy it. Your farm is very nice. Can I give you something?"
+
+The farmer said, "Sure, what do you have?"
+
+Tom said, "I have this painting. I made it for you. It is a painting of your farm."
+
+The farmer looked at the painting. He smiled and said, "This is a wonderful painting, Tom. You are a very talented painter. Thank you for this gift. It means a lot to me."
+
+Tom said, "You're welcome, farmer. I'm glad you like it."
+
+They said goodbye and got back in the car. Tom was very happy. He had a great journey and a great painting. He said to his mom, "This was the best day ever."
+
+His mom said, "I'm glad you had fun, Tom. I did too. You are a very sweet boy."
+
+They drove home and had some milk and some cheese and some eggs. They were very tasty. But Tom did not like the lemon. He said, "This is sour. I don't like sour."
+
+His mom said, "That's okay, Tom. You don't have to eat the lemon. You can have something else."
+
+Tom said, "Okay, mom. Can I have some cake?"
+
+His mom said, "Sure, Tom. You can have some cake. You deserve it. You are a very good boy."
+
+They had some cake and it was very yummy. Tom said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love cake."
+
+His mom said, "I love you too, Tom. I love cake too."
+
+They hugged and kissed. Then they went to bed. Tom dreamed of his journey and his painting. He was very happy. He was a very good boy.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is not nice. It barks and runs at them.
+
+"Help!" Sara says. "The dog is scary!"
+
+Tom and Sara run away. They look for a place to hide. They see a fence. The fence is old and broken. They lean on the fence and try to escape.
+
+But the fence is not strong. It falls down. The dog jumps over the fence. It catches Sara and Tom. It bites them. They cry and scream.
+
+No one hears them. No one helps them. The dog hurts them a lot. Sara and Tom are sad. They wish they never saw the dog. They wish they stayed home. They wish they were safe. But it is too late. The dog is too mean. Sara and Tom are gone.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They opened it and saw many unusual things inside. There were shiny balls, soft hats, and funny masks. They decided to try them on and pretend to be different people.
+
+Anna put on a red hat and a mask with a long nose. She said, "I am a clown who makes people laugh." Ben put on a blue ball and a mask with big ears. He said, "I am an alien who comes from another planet." They had fun making noises and jumping around.
+
+But soon they became thirsty and hungry. They looked for their mom, but she was busy in the kitchen. They saw a bottle of juice on the table. They ran to it and grabbed it. They both wanted to drink it, but there was only one bottle. They started to fight over it. They pulled and pushed and shouted.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them with the juice and the unusual things on their heads. She was not happy. She said, "Stop fighting, you two. You have to share and be nice to each other. And why are you wearing these strange things? They are not toys, they are for a costume party."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to play and have fun. We did not know they were not toys." Their mom said, "It's okay, but you have to be careful and ask before you take things. Now, let's settle this. You can both have some juice, but you have to take turns. And then you have to put back the things in the box and help me clean up."
+
+Anna and Ben agreed. They took off the unusual things and put them back in the box. They drank some juice and said, "Thank you, mom." They helped their mom clean up the garage. They learned to share and be respectful. They still liked to play and pretend, but they used their own toys and their imagination.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to look at the stars at night. They had a big book with pictures of the universe and all the things in it. They learned the names of the planets, the sun, the moon, and some of the stars. They wanted to see them for real, not just in the book.
+
+One night, they asked their mom if they could go outside and wave at the stars. Their mom said yes, but they had to wear their coats and hats, and stay in the backyard. Ben and Lily put on their warm clothes and ran outside. They looked up at the sky and saw many bright dots. They waved and shouted hello to the stars.
+
+But then, they saw a big cloud that covered some of the stars. They were sad and angry. They wanted to see all the stars, not just some. They started to cry and yell at the cloud. They said the cloud was dull and mean and should go away.
+
+Their mom heard them and came outside. She asked them what was wrong. They told her about the cloud and how it ruined their fun. Their mom hugged them and said the cloud was not dull or mean. It was just part of the weather, and it would move soon. She said the stars were still there, even if they could not see them. She said they should not be mad at the cloud, but be patient and kind.
+
+She told them a story about how the stars and the clouds were friends, and how they helped each other. The stars gave light and warmth to the clouds, and the clouds gave water and shade to the earth. Sometimes, the clouds would wave at the stars, and the stars would wave back. They were happy and grateful for each other.
+
+Ben and Lily listened to their mom and felt better. They realized they were wrong to be mad at the cloud. They said they were sorry and thanked their mom for the story. They looked up at the sky again and saw the cloud moving away. They saw the stars shining again. They waved and smiled at the stars and the cloud. They learned to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the universe.
+Tim and Mia liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to open the refrigerator and see what was inside. Sometimes they found yummy things, like cheese and juice. Sometimes they found icky things, like old bread and green eggs.
+
+One day, Tim and Mia were playing in the kitchen when they saw something new in the refrigerator. It was a big, round, red thing. It had a green stem on top. They did not know what it was.
+
+"Is it a ball?" Tim asked.
+
+"Maybe. Let's take it out and see," Mia said.
+
+They took the big, round, red thing out of the refrigerator and put it on the floor. It was heavy and hard. It did not bounce like a ball.
+
+"Is it a toy?" Mia asked.
+
+"Maybe. Let's throw it and see," Tim said.
+
+They took turns throwing the big, round, red thing across the kitchen. It made a loud noise when it hit the wall. It made a mess when it hit the window. It made a splash when it hit the sink.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Tim said.
+
+"Yeah, this is impressive!" Mia said.
+
+They did not hear their mom coming into the kitchen. She saw the big, round, red thing on the floor. She saw the juice and the cheese and the old bread and the green eggs on the wall. She saw the glass and the water and the soap on the window. She saw the dishes and the towels and the sponge on the sink.
+
+She was not happy.
+
+"Tim! Mia! What have you done?" she yelled.
+
+Tim and Mia looked at their mom. They looked at the big, round, red thing. They looked at each other.
+
+They did not know what to say.
+
+They had thrown a tomato.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many animals in the farm. They see a cow. The cow is big and white and black. The cow has a bell on her neck. The cow says "moo".
+
+Lily says to Ben, "Look at the cow. She is pretty. I like her bell. It makes a nice sound. Can we tell her hello?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, we can. Let's go near the cow. But we have to be gentle and quiet. The cow may be shy or scared."
+
+Lily and Ben walk to the cow. They smile and wave. They say, "Hello, cow. We are Lily and Ben. We are your friends. You are pretty. We like your bell."
+
+The cow looks at Lily and Ben. She sees their smiles and hears their words. She is not shy or scared. She is happy. She says, "Moo, moo. Hello, Lily and Ben. You are nice. I am glad you are my friends. Thank you for liking my bell."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy too. They pet the cow and give her some grass. They play with the cow and her bell. They have fun in the farm.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new swing. It is big and blue and shiny.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Sara says. "Can we try it?"
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Tom says. They run to the new swing.
+
+Sara gets on the swing first. She holds the ropes with her palms. Tom pushes her gently. Sara feels happy. She swings high and low.
+
+"Your turn, Tom!" Sara says. She jumps off the swing. Tom gets on the swing. He holds the ropes with his palms. Sara pushes him gently. Tom feels happy. He swings high and low.

+Lily and Tom are playing with their plastic toys in the garden. They have a white car, a yellow truck, a red plane and a green boat. They make noises and pretend to drive and fly and sail.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make the plane go very fast!" Tom says, zooming the red plane in the air.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that's cool! Can I try?" Lily asks, reaching for the plane.
+
+"Okay, but be careful. It's my favorite plane," Tom says, handing the plane to Lily.
+
+Lily takes the plane and tries to make it fly like Tom. But she is not very good at it. She swings the plane too hard and it flies out of her hand. It lands on the roof of the house.
+
+"Oh no! The plane is stuck!" Lily cries, pointing at the roof.
+
+"Uh oh! That's bad! We have to get it back!" Tom says, looking worried.
+
+They run to the house and look for a way to climb up. They see a ladder leaning against the wall. They hurry to the ladder and start to climb.
+
+"Be careful, Lily! The ladder is shaky!" Tom says, holding on to the rungs.
+
+"I'm trying, Tom! I see the plane! It's right there!" Lily says, pointing at the red spot on the roof.
+
+They reach the top of the ladder and crawl onto the roof. They see the plane lying on the tiles. They grab the plane and hug it.
+
+"Yay! We got it back!" Lily says, smiling.
+
+"Good job, Lily! You're brave!" Tom says, patting her head.
+
+They hear their mom calling from the window.
+
+"Lily! Tom! What are you doing on the roof? Come down right now!" Mom says, sounding angry.
+
+"Uh oh! We're in trouble!" Tom says, looking scared.
+
+"Quick! Let's go down!" Lily says, holding the plane.
+
+They hurry to the ladder and climb down. They run to their mom and show her the plane.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry! We were playing with the plane and it flew on the roof and we had to get it back!" Lily says, trying to explain.
+
+"Mom, we were careful! We didn't break anything!" Tom says, trying to help.
+
+Mom sighs and shakes her head.
+
+"I'm glad you're safe, but you shouldn't go on the roof. It's dangerous. You could fall and hurt yourself. Next time, ask me for help, okay?" Mom says, hugging them.
+
+"Okay, Mom. We're sorry," Lily and Tom say, looking sorry.
+
+Mom smiles and kisses them.
+
+"It's okay. I love you. Now, how about we go inside and have some cookies?" Mom says, leading them to the door.
+
+"Yay! Cookies!" Lily and Tom say, cheering up.
+
+They follow Mom inside and forget about the roof. They eat cookies and play with their plastic toys. They have fun and are happy.

+
+"Mom, can I have some cake?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, you can have some cake, but only after lunch. You have to eat your sandwich first."
+
+Lily nods. She eats her sandwich. She is hungry. She finishes her sandwich and drinks her milk. She is full. She says, "Mom, I ate my sandwich. Can I have some cake now?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, you can have some cake now. But only a small piece. And you have to share with Tom. He is your friend."
+
+Lily says, "OK, mom. Thank you."
+
+Lily takes a knife and cuts a small piece of cake. She puts it on a plate. She takes a fork and tastes the cake. It is yummy. She smiles.
+
+She sees Tom playing with his car. She wants to share with him. She walks to him and says, "Tom, I have some cake. Do you want some? It is yummy."
+
+Tom looks at the cake. He likes cake. He says, "Yes, I want some cake. Thank you, Lily."
+
+Lily gives him the plate and the fork. Tom takes a bite of the cake. It is yummy. He smiles.
+
+They eat the cake together. They are happy.
+
+But then, Lily sees another piece of cake on the table. It is bigger and has more frosting. It looks yummier. Lily wants that piece of cake. She says, "Tom, I want that piece of cake. It is mine."
+
+Tom says, "No, Lily. You can't have that piece of cake. It is not yours. It is mom's. She made the cake. She can have it."
+
+Lily says, "No, Tom. I want it. I own it. It is my will."
+
+Tom says, "No, Lily. You don't own it. You can't have it. It is not your will. It is mom's will."
+
+They start to argue. They raise their voices. They are angry.
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to the table. She sees them fighting over the cake. She is not happy. She says, "Lily, Tom, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over the cake? You already had some cake. You should be grateful. You should be nice to each other. You should not be greedy. You should not be rude."
+
+Lily and Tom stop arguing. They look at mom. They feel ashamed. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Tom."
+
+Mom says, "It's OK. I forgive you. But you have to learn to share and to respect. The cake is not yours. It is mine. But I will share it with you. If you are good. And if you say please."
+
+Lily and Tom say, "Please, mom. Can we have some more cake?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, you can have some more cake. But only a small piece. And you have to share with each other. And you have to say thank you."
+
+Lily and Tom say, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Lily. Thank you, Tom."
+
+Mom cuts another piece of cake. She divides it into two. She gives one half to Lily and one half to Tom. They eat the cake together. They are happy.
+
+They hug mom. They hug each other. They say, "We love you, mom. We love you, Lily. We love you, Tom."

+
+They clean up the table. They play with their toys. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+The end.
+Anna loved peaches. They were sweet and juicy and soft. She liked to pick them from the tree in her garden. But she had to be careful. Peaches were delicate. They could break easily if she squeezed them too hard.
+
+One day, Anna saw a big peach on the top of the tree. She wanted to reach it. She climbed on a chair and then on a table. She stretched her arm as far as she could. She touched the peach. It felt ripe and fuzzy. She pulled it gently.
+
+But the peach was too heavy for her. It fell from her hand and hit the table. It broke in half. Juice spilled everywhere. Anna was sad. She had broken her peach. She wanted to eat it.
+
+She heard her mom coming. She was afraid. She thought her mom would be angry. She hid under the table. She hoped her mom would not see the mess.
+
+But her mom was not angry. She saw the broken peach and the juice. She smiled. She knew Anna loved peaches. She also knew peaches were delicate. She said, "It's okay, Anna. Accidents happen. You can still eat your peach. Come out from under the table. I'll help you clean up."
+
+Anna came out from under the table. She hugged her mom. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I broke the peach. I wanted to eat it." Her mom said, "It's okay, Anna. I love you. You can eat the peach. It's still good. But next time, be careful. Peaches are delicate. They can break easily." Anna nodded. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. Peaches are delicate. I'll be careful." She ate the peach. It was sweet and juicy and soft. She was happy.
+Tom and Sue like to play in the park. They run and jump and swing and slide. They have fun with their friends and their toys. But one day, it is very hot and sunny. The grass is dry and the water is gone. Tom and Sue are thirsty and tired.
+
+They see a big gate near the park. The gate is black and has a sign. The sign says "Farm". Tom and Sue think there may be water and animals inside. They want to see the cows and the pigs and the chickens. They push the gate and it opens. They walk in and look around.
+
+But the farm is not nice. It is dirty and smelly and noisy. The cows and the pigs and the chickens are angry and scared. They make loud sounds and run away. Tom and Sue are afraid and sorry. They did not ask to come in. They did not mean to make trouble. They want to go back to the park.
+
+They run to the gate and try to close it. But the gate is heavy and hard. They cannot move it. They hear a voice behind them. It is the farmer. He is big and red and angry. He yells at Tom and Sue. He tells them to get out and never come back. He tells them they are bad and naughty. He scares them.
+
+Tom and Sue cry and say sorry. They run out of the gate and back to the park. They hug each other and their toys. They are sad and sorry. They wish they had not gone to the farm. They wish they had stayed in the park. They learn a lesson. They will not go to places they do not know. They will not touch things they do not own. They will be good and careful. They will have fun in the park.
+Lily liked to pretend she was a princess. She wore a pink skirt and a crown and sang songs in her room. She did not like to share her toys or help her mom and dad. She said, "I am a princess, I can do what I want."
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a girl in a yellow skirt and a hat. She wanted to play with her, but the girl was quiet and shy. Lily said, "Hello, I am a princess, do you want to be my friend?" The girl nodded and smiled.
+
+They played on the swings and the slide and had fun. Lily asked the girl, "What is your name?" The girl said, "I am Anna, I am new here. I don't have many friends." Lily said, "You can be my friend, I like you. You are nice and quiet."
+
+Lily and Anna played some more and then it was time to go home. Lily said, "Bye, Anna, I will see you tomorrow. You can borrow my crown if you want." Anna said, "Thank you, Lily, you are very kind. You can borrow my hat if you want." They hugged and waved goodbye.
+
+Lily went home with her mom and dad. She said, "Mom, dad, I made a new friend today. Her name is Anna and she is quiet and shy. She likes to pretend too. She is not a princess, but she is very sweet." Her mom and dad said, "We are proud of you, Lily. You learned to share and be friendly. That is what a real princess does." Lily smiled and said, "I love you, mom and dad. You are the best."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big cake on the table. It looked yummy.
+
+"Let's remove the cake and taste it," Lily said. "Mom won't know."
+
+Ben nodded. He was hungry. He climbed on a chair and reached for the cake.
+
+"Stop!" Mom shouted. She came into the kitchen and saw them. She was angry. "That cake is for Grandma's birthday. You can't remove it and taste it. That's very stupid."
+
+Lily and Ben felt bad. They got down from the chair and said sorry.
+
+Mom sighed. She hugged them and said, "It's okay. I know you were curious. But you have to ask before you touch things. And you have to wait for your share. Now, help me decorate the cake with some sprinkles and candles. Then we can go to Grandma's house and surprise her."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They helped Mom with the cake. They learned their lesson. They hoped Grandma would like the cake. They couldn't wait to taste it.

+
+Anna feels bad. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Stripe is not usually like that. He is just scared of new people. He is not a bad cat. He is a serious cat. He needs time to get to know you."
+
+Ben says, "It's okay, Anna. I'm not mad at Stripe. He is a pretty cat. He just hurt me a little. I'm sure he will like me if I give him a treat."
+
+Anna says, "That's a good idea, Ben. Let's go to the kitchen and find some cat food. Maybe Stripe will come out and be friends with us."

+
+But Tom did not listen to Sam. He was curious and naughty. He pressed the button and a big flame came out of the grill. He was scared and ran away.

+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their toy box. One day, they find a new toy in the toy box. It is a big red fire truck. It has a powerful hose that can spray water.
+
+"Wow, look at this fire truck!" Tom says. "It is so cool! I want to play with it!"
+
+"Me too!" Sam says. "Let me see it!"
+
+Tom and Sam both grab the fire truck. They pull and tug. They do not want to share.
+
+"Let go, it is mine!" Tom says.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sam says.
+
+They start to fight. They make loud noises. They do not hear their mom coming.
+
+"Boys, what are you doing?" their mom says. "Why are you fighting over a toy?"
+
+Tom and Sam stop fighting. They look at their mom. They feel bad.
+
+"We both want the fire truck, mom," Tom says.
+
+"It has a powerful hose, mom," Sam says.
+
+Their mom smiles. She has an idea.
+
+"Why don't you take turns with the fire truck?" she says. "You can both play with it. You can zoom around the yard and pretend to put out fires. You can use the hose to water the plants. But you have to be careful and not spray each other or the house."
+
+Tom and Sam think. They like their mom's idea. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up.
+
+"OK, mom, we will take turns," Tom says.
+
+"Thank you, mom, we will be careful," Sam says.
+
+They take the fire truck to the yard. They have fun. They zoom and spray. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. They also like to learn new things. One day, they plan to do some math with their teacher. They are excited.
+
+"Math is fun!" Tom says. "We can count and add and make shapes."
+
+"Yes, and we can use stickers and crayons too!" Mia says. "I want to make a rainbow."
+
+They go to the classroom and sit on the rug. The teacher gives them some papers and pencils. She says they have to do some math problems. She says they have to write the answers.
+
+Tom and Mia are confused. They do not like to write. They like to draw and stick and play. They look at the papers. They see numbers and signs. They do not know what they mean.
+
+"This is not math!" Tom says. "This is hard and boring!"
+
+"I agree!" Mia says. "This is not fun at all!"
+
+They put down their pencils. They fold their papers. They make paper planes. They throw them in the air. They laugh and clap.
+
+The teacher sees them. She is angry. She says they are not doing their work. She says they are being naughty. She says they have to stop.
+
+"Tom and Mia, what are you doing?" she says. "You are not doing math. You are making a mess. You have to listen and learn."
+
+Tom and Mia are sad. They do not want to make the teacher angry. They do not want to be naughty. But they do not want to do the math problems either. They do not understand them. They do not like them.
+
+They look at each other. They have an idea. They say sorry to the teacher. They say they will try to do the math. They ask for some stickers and crayons. They say they will use them to help.
+
+The teacher smiles. She says that is a good idea. She says they can use stickers and crayons to make the math easier and funnier. She gives them some stickers and crayons. She helps them to do the math.
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They use the stickers and crayons to count and add and make shapes. They write the answers. They also make a rainbow. They show the teacher. They say they like math.
+
+The teacher is proud. She says they did a good job. She says they learned something new. She says they can keep the stickers and crayons. She says they can play with them later.
+
+Tom and Mia are glad. They thank the teacher. They hug each other. They say they are still friends. They say they like to plan and do math. They say they are not angry anymore.
+Sam and Tom are friends. They go to the same school. They have an exam today. The exam is about animals. Sam likes animals. He knows a lot of animal names. Tom does not like animals. He does not know many animal names.
+
+Before the exam, Sam and Tom sit together. Sam has a book with animal pictures. He looks at the book and says the animal names. Tom looks at the book too. He does not say anything. He is envious of Sam. He wants to know the animal names like Sam.
+
+The teacher comes and gives the exam papers. Sam and Tom start to write. Sam writes fast and easy. He remembers the animal names from the book. Tom writes slow and hard. He does not remember the animal names. He looks at Sam's paper. He wants to copy Sam's answers.
+
+The teacher sees Tom looking at Sam's paper. She is angry. She walks to Tom and lifts his paper. She sees that Tom copied Sam's answers. She says to Tom, "You are cheating! You are not allowed to copy! You fail the exam!" She takes Tom's paper and tears it. She sends Tom to the principal's office.
+
+Sam hears the teacher and sees Tom. He is sad and scared. He does not want to lose his friend. He does not want to get in trouble. He stops writing and puts down his pen. He looks at his paper and cries. He thinks he failed the exam too. The end.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a big yard with a fence. The fence is brown and tall. It keeps them safe from the road.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben want to play dress-up. They go to Anna's room and find some clothes. Anna picks a pink dress and a hat. Ben picks a blue shirt and a tie. They wear the clothes and pretend to be grown-ups.
+
+They go outside and walk along the fence. They talk to each other like grown-ups. They say things like "How are you?" and "What a lovely day!" and "Do you like my hat?" They have fun.
+
+But then, they see a dog on the other side of the fence. The dog is big and black and barks loud. Anna and Ben are scared. They run away from the fence. They drop their clothes on the ground.
+
+The dog jumps over the fence and chases them. Anna and Ben scream and run to the house. They slam the door and lock it. They are safe.
+
+They are also frustrated. They want their clothes back. They look out the window and see the dog. The dog is playing with their clothes. He bites the hat and the tie. He rips the dress and the shirt. He makes a mess.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They like their clothes. They want to play dress-up again. But they are afraid of the dog. They do not know what to do. They wish the dog would go away.
+Lily and Ben were making cookies with Mom. Mom showed them how to measure the flour, sugar, butter and eggs. She said, "Measuring is important for baking. If you use too much or too little, the cookies will not be delicious."
+
+Lily and Ben learned how to use the cups and spoons to measure. They poured and scooped and mixed the ingredients in a big bowl. They had fun making shapes with the dough on a tray. Mom put the tray in the oven and set the timer.
+
+"Can we eat the cookies now?" Ben asked.
+
+"Not yet, they need to bake for a while. We have to wait until the timer beeps," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben waited patiently. They smelled the cookies getting more and more delicious. They heard the timer beep. Mom took the tray out of the oven and put it on a rack.
+
+"Be careful, they are very hot. Let them cool down a bit before you eat them," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben waited a little longer. They could not wait to taste the cookies. They each took one and bit into it. They smiled and said, "Mmm, delicious!"
+
+Mom smiled too. She said, "You did a great job, Lily and Ben. You learned how to measure and bake cookies. I'm proud of you."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged Mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you and we love cookies."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They were hungry, so they went to the bench where their mom had left a bag with food and water. Ben opened the bag and saw two sandwiches and two bottles.
+
+"Look, Lily, we have sandwiches and water. Do you want one?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, please. I want the cheese sandwich. You can have the ham sandwich," Lily said.
+
+Ben gave Lily the cheese sandwich and took the ham sandwich. He also gave her a bottle of water. They started to eat and drink.
+
+But then, a big dog came running to them. The dog saw the sandwiches and wanted to have them. He barked and jumped on the bench.
+
+"Hey, go away! These are our sandwiches!" Ben shouted.
+
+But the dog did not listen. He grabbed Ben's ham sandwich with his mouth and ran away.
+
+"Hey, come back! That's my sandwich!" Ben cried.
+
+He ran after the dog, but the dog was too fast. Ben could not catch him.
+
+Lily was scared. She hugged her cheese sandwich and her bottle of water. She did not want the dog to take them too.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, help!" Lily called.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the dog running away with Ben's sandwich and Ben chasing him. She also saw Lily crying on the bench.
+
+She ran to Lily and hugged her.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily. It's okay. The dog was hungry, but he should not have taken Ben's sandwich. That was not nice," she said.
+
+She gave Lily a kiss and a sip of water.
+
+"Here, have some water. It will make you feel better. You still have your cheese sandwich. That's good," she said.
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She liked her cheese sandwich. It was good.
+
+She looked at Ben, who came back to the bench. He was sad and angry. He had no sandwich and no water.
+
+"Mommy, the dog took my sandwich. I'm hungry and thirsty," he said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. That was not fair. But I have something for you. Look," she said.
+
+She opened the bag and took out another sandwich and another bottle of water. She had brought extra, just in case.
+
+"Here, Ben. You can have this sandwich and this water. They are good too," she said.
+
+She gave Ben the sandwich and the water. He smiled and thanked her.
+
+He opened the sandwich and saw that it was peanut butter and jelly. He liked peanut butter and jelly. It was good.
+
+He opened the water and took a big drink. He was thirsty. The water was good.
+
+He looked at Lily, who was eating her cheese sandwich and drinking her water. She looked at him and smiled.
+
+They shared their sandwiches and their water. They were happy.
+
+They finished their food and their drink. They thanked their mom and gave her a hug.
+
+They went back to playing in the park. They had fun.
+Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big car. A man came out of the car. He had a shiny watch and a nice suit. He looked rich.
+
+"Hello, kids," the man said. "Do you want to see my car? It has a lot of toys inside. You can have them if you come with me."
+
+Tom and Lily were curious. They wanted to see the toys. They forgot to be careful. They forgot what their mom and dad told them. They followed the man to his car.
+
+"Wow, look at all these toys!" Tom said. He saw a robot, a ball, a doll, and a book. He grabbed the robot and played with it.
+
+Lily saw a necklace. It had a lot of shiny stones. She liked shiny things. She put the necklace on her neck. She felt pretty.
+
+The man smiled. He closed the door of the car. He winked at them. "You are very lucky, kids," he said. "You have the best toys in the world. But you have to pay me for them. You have to do what I say. Or I will take them away. And I will take you away, too."
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They realized they made a mistake. They wanted to go back to the park. They wanted to see their mom and dad. They wanted to be free. But it was too late. The man drove away with them. He was a bad man. He was not rich. He was a thief. He stole the toys. He stole the kids. He stole their happiness.
+Sara was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. One day, she wanted to play outside with her bike. She put on her favorite dress, a pink one with flowers, and ran to the garage.
+
+"Be careful, Sara!" her mom said. "Don't go too fast or too far!"
+
+"I know, mom!" Sara said. "I can ride my bike very well!"
+
+She got on her bike and started to pedal. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She was having fun. She saw a big hill and decided to go down it. She went faster and faster, but then she saw a rock on the road. She tried to avoid it, but it was too late. She hit the rock and fell off her bike. She scraped her knee and tore her dress. She felt a sharp pain and started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she sobbed. "My knee hurts and my dress is ruined!"
+
+She looked around and saw that she was far from home. She did not know how to get back. She felt scared and alone. She wished she had listened to her mom.
+
+"Help, help!" she shouted. "Is anyone there?"
+
+She heard a voice coming from behind a bush. It was a friendly dog, a big brown one with a wagging tail. He came out of the bush and licked her face.
+
+"Hi, there!" he said. "What's your name?"
+
+"I'm Sara," she said, sniffling. "Who are you?"
+
+"I'm Max," he said. "I live in that house over there. I saw you fall and came to see if you were okay. You have a boo-boo on your knee. Do you want me to help you?"
+
+"Yes, please," she said. "Can you take me to your house? Maybe your mom can heal my knee and fix my dress."
+
+"Sure, I can do that," he said. "Come on, hop on my back. I'll give you a ride."
+
+He lowered his back and let her climb on. He was strong and gentle. He carried her to his house, where his mom was waiting. She was a kind lady who smiled at Sara.
+
+"Hello, dear," she said. "What happened to you?"
+
+"I fell off my bike and hurt my knee and tore my dress," Sara said. "I'm sorry, I was being independent and did not listen to my mom."
+
+"That's okay, honey," she said. "We all make mistakes sometimes. But I'm glad you have a new friend who helped you. Max is a good dog. Come on, let's go inside. I'll heal your knee and fix your dress. And then I'll call your mom and tell her you're safe."
+
+She took Sara inside and cleaned her wound and put a band-aid on it. She also sewed her dress and made it look like new. She gave her some cookies and milk and called her mom. Sara felt much better and thanked her for everything.
+
+"You're welcome, sweetie," she said. "You're a brave girl. And you have a good heart. Next time, just be more careful and listen to your mom. She loves you and wants you to be safe."
+
+"I will, I promise," Sara said. "And I love Max. He's my hero. Can I play with him again?"
+
+"Of course you can," she said. "He likes you too. He's your friend."
+
+Sara hugged Max and gave him a cookie. He wagged his tail and licked her cheek. They were happy. Sara learned a lesson and made a friend. She was still independent, but she also knew when to ask for help.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a letter on the floor. It is from Ben's dad, who is far away.
+
+"Look, Mia, a letter!" Ben says. He opens the letter and sees a photo. It is his dad, smiling and holding a flag. But his dad looks different. He has no hair on his head. He is bald.
+
+"Why is your dad bald?" Mia asks. She touches her own hair. She has long, brown hair.
+
+Ben does not know. He reads the letter. His dad says he is in a place called Army. He says he is bald because he has to be. He says he loves Ben and he will come back soon.
+
+Ben feels sad and happy. He misses his dad, but he is proud of him. He realizes his dad is brave and strong. He hugs the photo and the letter.
+
+"Mia, do you want to draw a picture for my dad?" Ben asks. He wants to make his dad happy.
+
+"Sure, Ben. I will draw a picture of you and me and your dad. And I will draw hair on your dad, because I think he looks better with hair." Mia says. She likes to draw.
+
+Ben and Mia draw pictures for Ben's dad. They use many colors and stickers. They write "We love you, Dad" on the pictures. They put the pictures in an envelope and give it to Ben's mom. She says she will send it to Ben's dad.
+
+Ben and Mia hope Ben's dad will like their pictures. They hope he will come back soon. They hope he will grow his hair again. They are good friends.
+Lily was curious about the big box in the living room. She wanted to see what was inside. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is in the box?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "It is a surprise for your birthday, Lily. You have to wait until tomorrow to open it."
+
+Lily frowned. She did not like to wait. She wanted to open the box now. She said, "But mom, I want to see it now. Please, please, please."
+
+Mom shook her head and said, "No, Lily. You have to be patient. It is a special gift for you. Trust me, you will love it."
+
+Lily was not happy. She crossed her arms and pouted. She walked away from the box. She looked for something else to play with. She saw her dad reading a book on the couch. She climbed up next to him and said, "Dad, can you read me a story?"
+
+Dad put down his book and smiled. He hugged Lily and said, "Sure, sweetie. What story do you want to hear?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "How about the story of the princess and the frog?"
+
+Dad nodded and said, "Okay, that is a good story. Let me find it for you." He reached for the bookshelf and took out a book with a picture of a princess and a frog on the cover. He opened the book and said, "Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who loved to play with her golden ball..."
+
+Lily listened to the story and forgot about the box. She smiled and laughed as she heard how the princess kissed the frog and turned him into a prince. She held her dad's hand and said, "I like this story, dad. Thank you for reading it to me."
+
+Dad kissed her forehead and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you very much. And I'm sure you will love your surprise tomorrow too."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I love you too, dad. And I'm sorry for being grumpy before. I will wait for my surprise."
+
+Dad smiled and said, "That's okay, Lily. I know you are curious. But sometimes, it is good to wait for something special. It makes it more exciting and fun."
+
+Lily agreed and said, "You're right, dad. It is more fun. Can we read another story?"
+
+Dad said, "Of course, Lily. As long as you want." He turned the page and said, "And they lived happily ever after. The end. Now, let's see what other story we can find..."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+But then they saw a shiny metal box under a tree. It had a lock on it. They were curious. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Maybe it has treasure!" Lily said.
+
+"Or candy!" Ben said.
+
+They tried to open the lock, but it was too hard. They pulled and pushed, but nothing happened.
+
+They looked around for something to help them. They saw a stick, a pine cone, and some ice.
+
+"Let's use the stick!" Lily said. She took the stick and tried to poke the lock. But the stick broke.
+
+"Let's use the pine cone!" Ben said. He took the pine cone and tried to hit the lock. But the pine cone bounced off.
+
+"Let's use the ice!" Lily said. She took a piece of ice and tried to slide it into the lock. But the ice melted.
+
+They were sad. They could not unlock the box.
+
+Then they heard a voice. It was the snowman.
+
+"Hello, children," the snowman said. "Do you need some help?"
+
+Lily and Ben were surprised. They did not know the snowman could talk.
+
+"Yes, please," Lily said. "We want to open this box, but we don't have the key."
+
+The snowman smiled. He reached for his scarf. He untied it and gave it to them.
+
+"Here, use this," he said. "It is flexible. You can bend it and twist it. Maybe it will fit in the lock."
+
+Lily and Ben thanked the snowman. They took the scarf and tried to use it as a key. They were careful not to hurt the scarf.
+
+They were lucky. The scarf worked. It unlocked the box.
+
+They opened the box and looked inside. They gasped.
+
+It was full of snowflakes. Beautiful, sparkling snowflakes.
+
+The snowman winked at them.
+
+"That's my treasure," he said. "I hope you like it."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They liked it very much.
+
+They thanked the snowman again. They gave him a hug.
+
+They played with the snowflakes. They made snow angels and snowballs. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They shared the snowflakes with the snowman. They were very happy.
+Tom and Sue were bored at home. They wanted to play with new toys, but they had no money. They saw a big store across the street. The store had many toys in the window. They wondered if the store was open.
+
+"Let's go and see," Tom said. "Maybe we can find some toys to play with."
+
+"But we have no money," Sue said. "How can we get the toys?"
+
+"Maybe we can take them without paying," Tom said. "No one will notice."
+
+Sue felt scared. She knew that taking things without paying was wrong. But she also wanted to play with new toys. She followed Tom to the store.
+
+The store was open. There were many people inside. Tom and Sue walked around and looked at the toys. They saw cars, dolls, balls, puzzles, and books. They wanted them all.
+
+"Look, Sue," Tom said. "There is a big teddy bear. I want it. It is so soft and cuddly."
+
+He grabbed the teddy bear and hid it under his shirt. He smiled at Sue and said, "Let's go. We have a new toy to play with."
+
+Sue felt guilty. She knew that Tom was stealing. She wanted to stop him, but she was afraid. She followed him to the door.
+
+But before they could leave, a man stopped them. He was wearing a badge and a uniform. He was a security guard. He saw the teddy bear under Tom's shirt. He was angry.
+
+"Hey, you two," he said. "What are you doing? You can't take that toy without paying. That is stealing. Give it back right now."
+
+Tom and Sue were caught. They felt ashamed and scared. They gave back the teddy bear and said sorry. The security guard called their parents. He told them what Tom and Sue had done. Their parents were very disappointed and angry. They came to the store and took Tom and Sue home. They punished them and made them promise to never steal again.
+
+Tom and Sue learned a hard lesson. They realized that stealing was wrong and hurtful. They wished they had not done it. They wished they had listened to their conscience and asked questions before acting. They wished they had been honest and respectful. They wished they had been good.
+Lily was a poor kid who lived in a small house with her mom and dad. She liked to play with her dolls and draw pictures, but she did not have many toys or clothes. She wished she could have a new dress for her birthday, but she knew her parents could not afford it.
+
+One day, her mom came home with a big smile and a bag of fabric. She said she had found a good deal at the market and wanted to make Lily a surprise. She asked Lily to stand still while she measured her with a tape. Lily felt excited and curious. What was her mom making for her?
+
+"Mom, what are you doing?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm measuring you, my dear. I want to make sure your surprise fits you well. Can you guess what it is?" her mom said.
+
+Lily thought hard. She hoped it was a dress, but she did not want to say it out loud. Maybe it was something else. Maybe it was a coat, or a hat, or a scarf. She decided to be polite and say, "No, mom, I can't guess. But I'm sure it will be very nice. Thank you, mom."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're such a sweet and good kid. I love you very much. Now, go and play while I work on your surprise. It will be ready soon."
+
+Lily ran to her room and played with her dolls. She imagined they were wearing beautiful dresses and going to a party. She wondered what her surprise would look like. She hoped it would be pink, her favorite color. She waited patiently for her mom to call her.
+
+After a while, her mom came to her room and said, "Lily, your surprise is ready. Come and see." She held a package in her hands and smiled.
+
+Lily followed her mom to the living room, where her dad was waiting. He smiled too and said, "Happy birthday, Lily. We have a special gift for you."
+
+Lily opened the package and gasped. It was a dress. A pink dress. A pink dress with flowers and ribbons and lace. It was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. She felt tears in her eyes. She hugged her mom and dad and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you so much. This is the best birthday ever."
+
+Her mom and dad hugged her back and said, "You're welcome, Lily. We love you too. You deserve this dress. You're a wonderful kid. Now, why don't you try it on and see how it fits?"
+
+Lily ran to her room and put on the dress. It fit her perfectly. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt like a princess. She twirled and danced and laughed. She ran back to her mom and dad and said, "Look, look, look. I'm so pretty. I'm so happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
+
+Her mom and dad clapped and cheered and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're very pretty. You're very happy. And we're very proud of you." They took pictures of her and gave her a cake and a card. They sang happy birthday to her and made a wish. They had a wonderful time together.
+
+Lily felt grateful and loved. She did not care that she was poor. She had a pink dress, a cake, a card, and a family. She had everything she needed. She was the happiest kid in the world.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings. They go up and down, up and down. They laugh and sing.
+
+One day, they see a hole in the ground. They wonder what is inside. They get off the swings and go to the hole. They look and listen. They hear a noise. It is a mole.
+
+The mole comes out of the hole. He is brown and furry. He has a long nose and small eyes. He is not clean. He has dirt on his fur and nose.
+
+"Hello, mole," Lila says. "What are you doing?"
+
+"Hello, children," the mole says. "I am digging. I like to dig. I make tunnels and rooms. I find worms and bugs. They are yummy."
+
+"Can we dig with you?" Ben asks. "We like to dig too. We make sandcastles and holes. We find stones and shells. They are pretty."
+
+"Sure, you can dig with me," the mole says. "But you have to be careful. There are roots and rocks. They are hard and sharp. They can hurt you."
+
+"OK, we will be careful," Lila and Ben say. They start to dig with the mole. They have fun. They make a big hole. They find a worm and a bug. They give them to the mole. He is happy.
+
+They get dirty. They have dirt on their hands and clothes and faces. They do not mind. They are having fun.
+
+They hear a voice. It is Lila's mom. She is calling them. It is time to go home.
+
+"Bye, mole," Lila and Ben say. "Thank you for digging with us. We had fun. We will come back soon."
+
+"Bye, children," the mole says. "Thank you for the worm and the bug. They were yummy. I had fun too. Come back anytime."
+
+Lila and Ben run to Lila's mom. She sees them. They are not clean. They have dirt on them. She is not happy.
+
+"Look at you," she says. "You are so dirty. What have you been doing?"
+
+"We have been digging with a mole," Lila and Ben say. "He is our friend. He likes to dig. He lives in a hole. He eats worms and bugs."
+
+"A mole?" Lila's mom says. "You have been digging with a mole? That is very strange. But I guess it is also very interesting. Come on, let's go home. You need a bath. You need to be clean."
+
+Lila and Ben nod. They follow Lila's mom. They wave to the mole. He waves back. He goes back to his hole. He is happy. He has new friends. He likes to swing. He likes to dig. He likes to be a mole.
+Lily and Anna were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Lily found a pretty blouse in her mom's closet. It was pink and had flowers on it. Lily wanted to wear it for Anna.
+
+She put on the blouse and ran to Anna's house. She knocked on the door and hoped Anna would like it. But when Anna opened the door, she looked angry. She pointed at Lily's blouse and said, "That's my mom's blouse! You stole it!"
+
+Lily felt sad and scared. She did not know it was Anna's mom's blouse. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't know. I just liked it. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+But Anna did not hear Lily. Anna was deaf. She could not hear what Lily said. She only saw Lily's mouth move. She thought Lily was lying and making fun of her. She pushed Lily and shouted, "Go away! You're not my friend anymore!"
+
+Lily fell down and hurt her knee. She cried and ran back to her house. She took off the blouse and threw it on the floor. She wished she never saw it. She wished Anna could hear her. She wished they were still friends. But it was too late. Lily and Anna never played together again.
+Lila was nervous. She wanted to speak to Sam, the boy who played with the red car. But she did not know what to say. She watched him from behind a tree, hoping he would look at her.
+
+The sun was shining and it was hot. Lila felt thirsty. She saw a water bottle on the grass near Sam. She decided to go and ask him for a sip. She walked slowly towards him, holding her teddy bear.
+
+"Hi, Sam," she said in a small voice. "Can I have some water, please?"
+
+Sam looked up and smiled. He liked Lila. She had pretty brown eyes and curly hair. He pushed the water bottle towards her.
+
+"Sure, Lila. Here you go. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lila felt happy. She took a sip of water and nodded. She gave him her teddy bear.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. This is Teddy. He likes cars, too."
+
+Sam took Teddy and put him in the red car. He made vroom-vroom noises and drove the car around. Lila laughed and clapped her hands.
+
+They played together until their moms came to pick them up. They hugged and said goodbye.
+
+"See you tomorrow, Lila," Sam said.
+
+"See you tomorrow, Sam," Lila said.
+
+They were not nervous anymore. They were friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big truck near their houses. The truck is loud and fast. It has a big arm that can pick up things.
+
+"Look, Ben, the truck is picking up the mailboxes!" Lily says.
+
+"Why is it doing that?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it wants to take them away. We have to save them!" Lily says.
+
+They run to their mailboxes. They hug them tight. They do not want the truck to take them.
+
+"Stop, truck, stop!" they shout. "These are our mailboxes. You can't have them!"
+
+The truck driver sees the children. He stops the truck. He gets out. He walks to them.
+
+"Hello, kids. Don't be scared. I'm not going to take your mailboxes. I'm just moving them a little bit. See, there is a new sidewalk being built here. Your mailboxes have to be on the other side of the street. That's all," he says.
+
+He smiles. He is nice. He picks up the mailboxes with his arm. He puts them on the other side of the street. He makes sure they are straight and firm.
+
+"There you go. Your mailboxes are safe and sound. You can still get your letters and cards. You just have to cross the street carefully. OK?" he says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are happy. They thank the truck driver. They cross the street. They touch their mailboxes. They are warm from the sun.
+
+They hug each other. They are proud. They think they saved their mailboxes. They go back to play. They are friends.
+Lila and Tom liked to play knights and dragons. Lila had a big shield that she made from a box. Tom had a red cape that he tied around his neck. They ran around the yard, pretending to fight monsters and save the princess.
+
+One day, they heard a loud roar from behind the fence. They stopped and looked at each other. What was that? They wondered. They decided to be brave and find out. They crept closer to the fence, holding their shield and cape.
+
+They peeked over the fence and saw a big dog. It had black fur and sharp teeth. It saw them and roared again. Lila and Tom were scared. They wanted to run away, but the dog jumped over the fence and chased them.
+
+Lila and Tom ran as fast as they could. They ran to the porch, where their mom was sitting. They hid behind her and cried. The dog followed them and barked loudly. Their mom saw the dog and got up. She shooed the dog away with a broom. The dog ran back to the fence and jumped over it.
+
+Lila and Tom hugged their mom and thanked her. They were glad she was there to protect them. They were lucky that the dog did not bite them. They decided to play something else. They did not want to play knights and dragons anymore. They wanted to play something safe and fun.
+Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they do not behave. They fight over the toys and make a lot of noise.
+
+One day, their mom comes to their room. She is not happy. She says, "Tom and Anna, you are not behaving. You are making too much noise. You have to share your toys and be nice to each other. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Anna nod their heads. They do not want to make their mom angry. They say, "Sorry, mom. We understand. We will behave."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Good. I have a surprise for you. I have a new game for you to play. It is called Number Bingo. You have to match the numbers on the cards with the numbers on the board. The first one to match all the numbers wins. Do you want to play?"
+
+Tom and Anna are excited. They love games. They say, "Yes, mom. We want to play. Thank you, mom."
+
+Mom gives them the game. She says, "Here you go. The cards are yellow. The board is blue. Have fun. And remember to behave."
+
+Tom and Anna take the game. They sit on the floor. They look at the cards and the board. They say, "This looks fun. Let's play. And let's behave." They start to play. They match the numbers. They take turns. They do not fight. They have fun. Mom is happy. She says, "Well done, Tom and Anna. You are behaving. You are playing nicely. I am proud of you."
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big rag doll that their grandma made for them. The doll had a blue dress, yellow hair and a smiley face. They named her Daisy.
+
+One day, they had a fight over Daisy. Lily wanted to dress her up with a hat and a scarf, but Ben wanted to take her outside and make her fly like a superhero. They both pulled on Daisy's arms, trying to separate her from the other.
+
+"Let go of Daisy! She is mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, she is mine! I want to play with her!" Ben yelled.
+
+They pulled so hard that Daisy's arm ripped off. They both gasped and looked at the rag doll. She had only one arm and a sad face. They felt sorry for Daisy and for each other.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt Daisy," Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Ben. I should have shared Daisy with you," Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and Daisy. They decided to fix Daisy's arm with some thread and a needle. They asked their mom for help, and she was happy to see them get along.
+
+While they were sewing Daisy's arm, their dog Spot came into the room. Spot was a nosy dog who liked to sniff everything. He saw Daisy on the table and thought she was a toy for him. He jumped on the table and grabbed Daisy with his mouth. He ran away with her, wagging his tail.
+
+"Spot, no! Drop Daisy!" Lily and Ben cried.
+
+They chased after Spot, hoping to get Daisy back. They hoped Spot would not rip off Daisy's other arm. They learned to be careful with their toys and to share them with each other.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big sack near a tree. They open the sack and see many olives inside.
+
+"Wow, look at all the olives!" Lila says. "They are green and black and shiny."
+
+"Can we eat them?" Ben asks. He likes olives.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are not good. Maybe they are for someone else." Lila says. She is not sure.
+
+They hear a voice behind them. It is a man with a blue hat and a blue shirt. He looks angry.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with my sack of olives?" he says. "Give it back to me!"
+
+Lila and Ben are scared. They drop the sack and run away. They hide behind a slide.
+
+"Sorry, mister, we didn't know it was yours!" Lila says.
+
+"Yeah, sorry, we just wanted to see what was inside!" Ben says.
+
+The man picks up his sack and walks away. He mutters something under his breath.
+
+Lila and Ben look at each other. They are relieved.
+
+"Let's go play something else," Lila says.
+
+"OK, but no more olives," Ben says.
+
+They laugh and run to the swings. They forget about the sack and the olives and the blue man. They have fun in the park.
+One day, a raven flew over a big farm. He was hungry and wanted to find some food. He saw a shiny thing on the ground and flew down to get it. It was a can, but it was empty. There was nothing inside.
+
+"Hello, raven," said a voice. The raven looked up and saw a cow. The cow was big and brown and had horns. "What are you doing here?"
+
+"I am looking for food," said the raven. "But this can has nothing."
+
+"I know," said the cow. "The farmer left it here. He sometimes gives us food in cans, but not today. Today he only gave us grass."
+
+"Grass?" said the raven. "I do not like grass. I like meat and cheese and bread."
+
+"Sorry, raven," said the cow. "I do not have any of those. Maybe you can find some in the barn. There are mice and rats and eggs there."
+
+"Thank you, cow," said the raven. "I will go and see." He flew away from the can and towards the barn. He hoped to find some tasty food there. He did not like empty cans.
+Lila and Ben are playing cops and robbers in the backyard. Lila is the cop and Ben is the robber. Lila has a toy gun and Ben has a hat and a bag.
+
+"Stop, robber! You are bad!" Lila shouts, running after Ben.
+
+"No, you stop, cop! You can't catch me!" Ben says, laughing and running away.
+
+Lila aims her toy gun and pretends to shoot Ben. "Bang, bang, bang! I got you, robber!"
+
+Ben falls down and pretends to be hurt. "Ow, ow, ow! You shot me, cop!"
+
+Lila runs to Ben and puts her toy gun away. "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben smiles and gets up. "I'm okay, Lila. It's just a game. You are a good cop."
+
+Lila hugs Ben and says, "You are a good robber. But you have to go to jail now."
+
+Lila takes Ben's hat and bag and leads him to the shed. The shed is dark and has a small window. Lila says, "This is your cell, robber. You have to stay here until I say so."
+
+Ben looks at the shed and says, "Okay, Lila. But can I have a light? It's too dark in here."
+
+Lila thinks for a moment and says, "Okay, robber. I'll give you a light. But you have to be good and quiet."
+
+Lila finds a flashlight and gives it to Ben. She closes the shed door and says, "Bye, robber. I'll come back soon."
+
+Ben turns on the flashlight and looks around the shed. He sees some toys and books and says, "This is not a bad cell. I can play and read here. But I miss Lila. I hope she comes back soon."
+Ben and Lily were playing knights and dragons in the garden. Ben had a big shield made of cardboard and Lily had a green scarf tied around her neck. They pretended to fight and roar at each other.
+
+"Take that, you stupid dragon!" Ben shouted, hitting Lily with his shield.
+
+"Ow, that hurt!" Lily cried, rubbing her head. "You are a mean knight!"
+
+"No, I'm not! I'm a brave knight! You are a scary dragon!" Ben said, holding his shield in front of him.
+
+Lily tried to grab his shield, but Ben was too strong. He pushed her back and she fell on the grass.
+
+"Ha, ha, I win!" Ben said, jumping up and down.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She didn't want to play anymore. She got up and ran to the house.
+
+"Hey, where are you going?" Ben called after her. "Come back, dragon!"
+
+Lily ignored him. She ran to her room and slammed the door. She threw her scarf on the bed and hugged her teddy bear. She wished Ben was nicer to her.
+
+Ben followed her to the house. He knocked on her door, but she didn't answer. He felt sorry for making her cry. He remembered that they were friends, not enemies. He wanted to say sorry and make her happy again.
+
+He looked around and saw a bunch of flowers in a vase. He picked one and went to her door again. He knocked softly and said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was a stupid knight. You are a good dragon. Do you want to play with me again?"
+
+Lily heard his voice and opened the door. She saw the flower in his hand and smiled. She took it and said, "Thank you, Ben. I'm sorry too. I was a mean dragon. You are a good knight. Yes, I want to play with you again."
+
+They hugged and went back to the garden. They played knights and dragons again, but this time they were nice to each other. They had fun and laughed a lot. They remembered that they were friends, not enemies.
+Benny was a dog who liked to run and play. He had a big yard with a fence and a tree. He had a bowl of food and water that his human gave him every day. He was happy and healthy, except for one thing. He had fleas.
+
+Fleas are tiny bugs that bite and itch. They live in Benny's fur and make him scratch and whine. Benny tried to get rid of them by rolling on the grass and shaking his head, but they did not go away. He wished his human would provide him with something to make them stop.
+
+One day, a new human came to visit. He had a bag and a smile. He said hello to Benny and petted him. Benny liked the new human. He smelled good and was gentle. The new human took out a bottle from his bag and said, "This is a brilliant flea spray. It will kill all the fleas on your dog and make him feel better. Can I use it on him?"
+
+Benny's human nodded and said, "Sure, go ahead. I've been meaning to get something for him, but I've been busy. Thank you for helping him."
+
+The new human sprayed the bottle all over Benny's fur. Benny felt a cold and wet sensation. He did not like it. He tried to run away, but the new human held him. He said, "Don't worry, it will be over soon. It's for your own good."
+
+Benny started to feel funny. He felt dizzy and weak. He could not breathe. He looked at his human with scared eyes. He wanted to say, "Help me, something is wrong." But he could not make a sound. He fell to the ground and did not move.
+
+The new human looked at Benny and said, "Oops, I guess I used the wrong bottle. This is not flea spray, this is poison. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt him. I mixed them up."
+
+Benny's human screamed and cried. He ran to Benny and hugged him. He said, "No, no, no, this can't be happening. Benny, please wake up. Please don't die. You're my best friend. I love you."
+
+But Benny did not wake up. He did not hear his human. He did not feel anything. He was gone. The fleas were gone too. But so was Benny. The end.
+Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play and have fun. But on Sunday, they have to go to church with Mom and Dad. Church is a big house with many people and a tall man who talks a lot. Tim and Jen do not like church. They think it is boring and long.
+
+One Sunday, Tim and Jen have a plan. They do not want to wake up early and go to church. They want to sleep and play. So they hide their shoes under the bed and pretend to be sick. Mom and Dad come to their room and see them in bed. They feel their heads and say they are hot. They say they can stay home and rest. Tim and Jen smile and close their eyes.
+
+Mom and Dad leave for church. Tim and Jen wait for a few minutes. Then they jump out of bed and run to the living room. They turn on the TV and watch cartoons. They laugh and have fun. They think they are very smart and clever.
+
+But they do not know that Mom and Dad have a surprise for them. Mom and Dad have bought them new bikes. They want to give them to Tim and Jen after church. They think they will be very happy and excited. They put the bikes in the car and drive to church.
+
+At church, they see their friends and the tall man. They sing and pray and listen. They think about Tim and Jen and hope they are feeling better. They do not know that Tim and Jen are not sick. They do not know that Tim and Jen are watching TV and having fun.
+
+After church, they go back to the car. They see the bikes and smile. They think Tim and Jen will love them. They drive home and park in the driveway. They get out of the car and carry the bikes to the door. They knock and wait.
+
+Tim and Jen hear the knock. They turn off the TV and run to the door. They open it and see Mom and Dad. They see the bikes. They are big and shiny and new. They are red and blue and have bells and horns. They are the best bikes ever.
+
+Tim and Jen are very surprised. They do not know what to say. They look at Mom and Dad and the bikes. They look at each other. They feel bad and sorry. They know they have been naughty and lied. They know they have missed church and the surprise.
+
+Mom and Dad see their faces. They see they are not sick. They see they are guilty and ashamed. They are not happy and proud. They are angry and disappointed. They say they are sorry. They say they have to talk.
+
+Tim and Jen nod and cry. They hug Mom and Dad and the bikes. They say they are sorry too. They say they will never lie again. They say they will go to church next Sunday. They say they love Mom and Dad and the bikes.
+
+Mom and Dad hug them back and wipe their tears. They say they love them too. They say they forgive them. They say they can still have the bikes. They say they can ride them later. They say they have to go inside and rest.
+
+Tim and Jen go inside and rest. They think about what they have done and what they have learned. They think about church and the tall man. They think about Mom and Dad and the bikes. They think they are very lucky and grateful. They think they are very old and wise.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They were having fun until Ben saw a tiny black dot on his car.
+
+"Look, Lily, a flea!" Ben said, pointing at the dot. "It must have jumped from Spot, our dog. It is very small and itchy."
+
+Lily leaned closer to see the flea. She did not like fleas. They made her scratch and sneeze. She wanted to get rid of it.
+
+"Let me help you, Ben," she said, reaching for his car. "I will make it go away."
+
+But Ben did not want to give his car to Lily. He liked his car and he did not want her to touch it.
+
+"No, Lily, it is my car!" he said, pulling it back. "You have your own car. Leave mine alone."
+
+Lily felt angry and sad. She only wanted to help Ben. She did not understand why he was so mean.
+
+"Fine, Ben, be selfish!" she said, turning away. "I will play with my car by myself. It is better than yours anyway."
+
+She pushed her car forward, but it did not go very far. She looked at it and saw that it had a switch on the back. She flipped the switch and tried again. This time, her car went backwards instead of forwards. She had made it reverse.
+
+"Wow, Lily, your car can reverse!" Ben said, forgetting about the flea. "That is so cool. My car cannot do that. It is only regular. Can I try it, please?"
+
+Lily looked at Ben and smiled. She saw that he was sorry and that he wanted to play with her again.
+
+"Okay, Ben, you can try it," she said, handing him her car. "But you have to share your car with me too. And we have to get rid of the flea. Maybe we can use some soap and water."
+
+Ben nodded and thanked Lily. He took her car and made it reverse and forward and honk. Lily took his car and looked for the flea. She found it and washed it off. Then they swapped cars again and played together happily. They learned to share and to help each other. They also learned a new word: reverse.
+Tim and Lily were playing with a big red ball in the park. They liked to bounce the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they bounced it very high and it went over the fence. Then they had to run and get it back.
+
+One day, they bounced the ball too hard and it flew over the fence and into the street. They heard a loud honk and saw a big car coming. They were very scared and worried. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Tim, we have to get the ball!" Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily, it is too dangerous!" Tim said.
+
+They looked at each other and then at the ball. The car was getting closer and closer. They wanted to save the ball, but they did not want to get hurt.
+
+Suddenly, they saw a man running from the other side of the street. He was wearing a blue uniform and a shiny badge. He was a police officer. He was very alert and saw the ball and the children. He ran to the ball and picked it up. Then he waved to the car and made it stop. He crossed the street and gave the ball to Tim and Lily.
+
+"Are you okay, kids?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, thank you, sir!" Tim and Lily said.
+
+"That was a close call. You should never go into the street without looking both ways. It is very dangerous. Do you understand?" he said.
+
+"Yes, sir, we understand. We are sorry. We will be more careful next time." Tim and Lily said.
+
+"Good. Now go back to the park and have fun. But remember to stay safe." he said.
+
+He smiled and walked away. Tim and Lily hugged each other and thanked him again. They were very happy and relieved. They went back to the park and played with the ball. But they never bounced it too hard again.
+Lily and Ben were very enthusiastic to go to the park. They wanted to play on the swings, slide down the slide, and climb the big oak tree. They put on their coats and shoes and ran to the door.
+
+"Wait, wait!" Mom said. "You need to eat your breakfast first. You can't go to the park on an empty stomach."
+
+Lily and Ben groaned. They did not want to delay their fun. They wanted to go to the park now. They sat down at the table and ate their cereal and milk as fast as they could.
+
+"Can we go now, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, you can go now. But be careful and stay together, okay?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and ran out of the door. They skipped along the sidewalk, holding hands. They were almost at the park when they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and growling. It looked angry and scary.
+
+Lily and Ben stopped. They were afraid of the dog. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted. "We want to go to the park!"
+
+But the dog did not go away. It kept barking and growling. It moved closer to Lily and Ben.
+
+Lily and Ben screamed. They turned around and ran back to their house. They knocked on the door and Mom opened it.
+
+"What's wrong, my sweeties?" Mom asked.
+
+"There's a big dog! It's mean and loud! It won't let us go to the park!" Lily and Ben cried.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Come on, let's go inside and have some cookies. Maybe the dog will go away soon. Then we can go to the park together, okay?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were still scared, but they felt better with Mom. They hoped the dog would go away soon. They still wanted to play on the swings, slide down the slide, and climb the big oak tree.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big tree with many nuts on the ground. They decided to decorate the nuts with paint and glitter. They wanted to make them look perfect.
+
+"Look at my nut, Lily. It is blue and shiny. It is the best nut ever," Tom said.
+
+"My nut is better, Tom. It is pink and sparkly. It is the most beautiful nut in the world," Lily said.
+
+They started to argue about whose nut was more perfect. They did not share or say nice things. They only wanted their own nut.
+
+A squirrel came and saw the nuts. He thought they were food. He ran and grabbed Tom's nut. He bit it and spat it out. He did not like the paint and glitter. He ran and grabbed Lily's nut. He bit it and spat it out. He did not like the paint and glitter either.
+
+Lily and Tom cried. They had lost their nuts. They had no more nuts to decorate. They had no more nuts to play with. They had no more friends to talk to.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned that nuts are not for decorating. They learned that being greedy and mean is not good. They learned that sharing and being kind is better. They wished they had been nicer to each other. They wished they had not wasted their nuts. They wished they had not met the squirrel.
+Ben likes to jog with his dad. They jog in the park, where there are many trees and flowers. Ben sees a big orange ball in the sky. It is the sun. Ben likes the sun. It makes him warm and happy.
+
+One day, Ben and his dad jog to a pond. There are ducks and fish in the pond. Ben wants to feed them. He has some bread in his pocket. He takes out a piece and breaks it into small bits. He steps to the edge of the pond and throws the bits to the ducks and fish.
+
+But Ben steps too far. He slips and falls into the pond. Splash! He is wet and cold. He cries. His dad runs to him and pulls him out. He hugs him and says, "It's okay, Ben. You are brave. You just had a little accident. Let's go home and get dry."
+
+Ben nods. He is still sad, but he feels better. He holds his dad's hand and they jog back to their car. The sun is still in the sky. It smiles at Ben. Ben smiles back. He thinks, "I like to jog with my dad. But next time, I will be more careful."
+Sara and Ben wanted to make a pie with a pumpkin. They saw a big pumpkin in the garden. They ran to the pumpkin and tried to pick it up. But the pumpkin was too heavy for them.
+
+"Let's split it!" Sara said. "Then we can carry it to the house."
+
+"OK!" Ben said. He found a stick and hit the pumpkin with it. But the stick broke and the pumpkin did not split.
+
+"Let me try!" Sara said. She found a rock and threw it at the pumpkin. But the rock bounced off and hit Sara on the head.
+
+"Ow!" Sara cried. She fell to the ground and held her head.
+
+Ben ran to Sara and hugged her. He was scared and sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara!" he said. "Are you OK?"
+
+Sara did not answer. She was still crying and holding her head.
+
+The pumpkin was still whole and high in the garden. They could not make a pie with it.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go first. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder.
+
+"Wait for me!" Ben says. He runs after her. But he is not careful. He slips on the grass and falls down. He hurts his knee and starts to cry.
+
+Lily hears him and slides down. She runs to him and gives him a hug. "Are you okay, Ben?" she asks.
+
+Ben sniffles and shows her his knee. It is red and has a little blood. "It hurts," he says.
+
+Lily feels sorry for him. She takes out a pink band-aid from her pocket. She puts it on his knee. "There, now it is better," she says. "The pink band-aid will make it heal faster."
+
+Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister." He gives her a kiss on the cheek.
+
+They hug each other and feel peace. They are happy. They go back to the slide and take turns. They have fun and do not slip again.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and laugh. But they did not like the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes were small and mean. They bit Sara and Ben and made them itch.
+
+"Go away, mosquitoes!" Sara said. "You are not nice!"
+
+Ben had an idea. He saw an old can on the ground. He picked it up and shook it. It made a loud noise.
+
+"Maybe this will scare the mosquitoes," Ben said. He ran around the yard, banging the can.
+
+Sara followed him. She thought it was fun. They made a lot of noise.
+
+But the noise did not scare the mosquitoes. It made them angry. They flew faster and bit harder. Sara and Ben started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw Sara and Ben with red spots on their skin.
+
+"What happened?" Mom asked.
+
+"The mosquitoes!" Sara and Ben said.
+
+Mom hugged them and took them inside. She put some cream on their spots. It made them feel better.
+
+"Why did you make so much noise?" Mom asked.
+
+"Ben had an idea," Sara said. "He mentioned an old can."
+
+Mom looked at the can. It had a picture of a spray on it.
+
+"Oh, Ben," Mom said. "This is not a toy. This is a mosquito spray. You should have sprayed it on yourselves, not on the can."
+
+Ben felt silly. He did not know what the spray was.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Ben said.
+
+"It's okay, Ben," Mom said. "Next time, ask me before you use something you don't know. And next time, let's play inside when there are mosquitoes outside."
+Lily and Ben like to play at the gym. They like to run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun with their friends and their teacher.
+
+One day, a new boy comes to the gym. His name is Max. He is not polite. He pushes Lily and Ben. He takes their toys. He does not share. He makes them sad and angry.
+
+Lily and Ben try to tell Max to stop. They say, "Please be nice. Please play with us. Please do not push and take." But Max does not listen. He laughs and says, "No. I do what I want. You are silly and weak."

+
+Max does not like the teacher. He does not like the rules. He does not like to be polite. He says, "No. I do not care. You are mean and boring."
+
+The teacher is not happy. She says, "Max, you have to leave. You cannot play at the gym anymore. You have to go home."
+
+Max is surprised. He does not want to leave. He wants to play at the gym. He says, "No. I do not want to go. I want to stay."

+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big dog with a lovely brown coat and a long tail. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail when they came near.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the owner first," Tom said.
+
+They looked around and saw a lady sitting on a bench. She had a book in her hand and a smile on her face. She was the owner of the dog.
+
+"Excuse me, lady. Can we pet your dog?" Tom questioned.
+
+"Of course, you can. His name is Max. He loves children," the lady said.
+
+Lily and Tom thanked the lady and went to pet Max. They stroked his soft fur and scratched his ears. Max licked their faces and made them giggle.
+
+"You have a very nice dog, lady. He has a lovely body and a happy face," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, dear. You are very sweet. He likes you too," the lady said.
+
+Lily and Tom played with Max for a while. They threw a ball for him and watched him chase it. They had a lot of fun. They said goodbye to the lady and Max and went back to their parents. They told them about their new friend and how lovely he was.
+Lily liked to design clothes for her dolls. She used paper, scissors, glue and stickers to make dresses, skirts, hats and shoes. She had a lot of fun making different outfits for her dolls.
+
+One day, she wanted to show her mom her designs. She put her dolls on hangers and hung them on her closet door. She ran to find her mom in the kitchen. "Mom, mom, come see what I made!" she said.
+
+Mom smiled and followed Lily to her room. She saw the dolls on the door and said, "Wow, Lily, you are very creative! You made such beautiful clothes for your dolls!"
+
+Lily beamed and said, "Thank you, mom! Do you want to see how they look on the dolls?"
+
+Mom nodded and said, "Sure, let's see."
+
+Lily took one of the hangers and tried to take off the doll. But the glue was too strong and the paper was too tight. The doll's head came off with the hanger and the paper ripped. Lily gasped and dropped the hanger. She felt sad and tears came to her eyes.
+
+Mom saw what happened and hugged Lily. She said, "Oh, honey, I'm sorry. It was an accident. Don't be sad. We can fix it. We can glue the head back and make new clothes. Or we can use fabric instead of paper. What do you think?"
+
+Lily sniffed and said, "Really? Can we do that?"
+
+Mom said, "Of course we can. You are my little designer. We can make anything together."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go get some supplies and start over."
+Lily and Max were playing in the woods. They liked to look for bugs and flowers and rocks. They saw a big cabin made of wood. It was gray and old and had no windows.
+
+"Who lives in the cabin?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a bear or a witch or a giant," Max said.
+
+"Let's go and see," Lily said. She was not afraid.
+
+"No, don't go. It might be scary," Max said. He was afraid.
+
+Lily ran to the cabin and knocked on the door. Max followed her slowly. He did not want to be alone.
+
+They heard a noise inside the cabin. It sounded like a growl.
+
+"Who is it?" a voice said.
+
+Lily and Max did not answer. They were very quiet.
+
+The door opened and they saw a man. He was big and hairy and had a gray beard. He looked angry.
+
+"Who are you? What do you want?" he said.
+
+Lily and Max were scared. They did not know what to say.
+
+The man saw their faces and smiled. He was not angry. He was lonely.
+
+"I'm sorry. I did not mean to scare you. I'm Tom. I live in the cabin. I don't get many visitors," he said.
+
+He invited them inside and gave them cookies and milk. He showed them his books and his pictures and his tools. He told them stories about the woods and the animals and the stars.
+
+Lily and Max liked Tom. He was nice and funny and smart.
+
+They played and talked and laughed until it was dark.
+
+They said goodbye to Tom and thanked him for the cookies and the milk and the stories.
+
+They ran back to their home and told their mom and dad about their adventure.
+
+They guessed that Tom was not a bear or a witch or a giant.
+
+He was just a friend.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found coins or buttons or rocks. Sara had a big jar where she kept her treasures.
+
+One day, they saw a new hill of sand near the slide. They ran to it and started to dig. Sara found a very shiny thing. It was a mineral. It was blue and green and sparkled in the sun. Sara was very happy. She showed it to Tom.
+
+"Wow, that is a pretty mineral!" Tom said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Sara nodded and gave it to Tom. Tom held it in his hand and looked at it closely. He wanted to keep it for himself. He put it in his pocket and ran away.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Sara shouted. She chased after Tom. She was angry and sad. Tom was not a good friend.
+
+Tom ran to the slide. He wanted to go down and hide. He climbed up the ladder. But he was not careful. He stepped on a wet spot and slipped. He fell down and hit his head. He dropped the mineral. It rolled away.
+
+Tom cried. He was hurt and scared. He felt helpless. He wanted his mom.
+
+Sara saw what happened. She ran to Tom. She saw the mineral on the ground. She picked it up and put it in her jar. Then she helped Tom get up.
+
+"Are you okay?" Sara asked.
+
+Tom nodded. He was still crying. He was sorry for what he did.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. I was mean. I should not have taken your mineral. Can you forgive me?" Tom said.
+
+Sara looked at Tom. She saw that he was sorry. She was still angry and sad. But she was also a good friend.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But don't do it again. Sharing is better than stealing. And be careful on the slide. Come on, let's go find your mom." Sara said.
+
+Sara and Tom hugged. They walked to the bench where their moms were sitting. They told them what happened. Their moms were glad that they were okay. They gave them hugs and kisses. They also gave them cookies and juice.
+
+Sara and Tom ate their cookies and drank their juice. They felt better. They looked at each other and smiled. They were still friends. They learned a lesson. They decided to play nicely and share their treasures. They had fun in the park.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big box under a tree. They opened the box and saw a map inside. The map had many colors and shapes and a big X in the middle.
+
+"Wow, this is a cool map!" Lily said. "Maybe it shows us where to find a treasure!"
+
+"Let's follow it!" Tom said. "But we have to be careful. Maybe someone else wants the treasure too."
+
+They took the map and started to walk around the park. They looked at the map and tried to match it with the things they saw. They crossed a bridge, climbed a hill, and went through a tunnel. They were having fun and felt like explorers.
+
+But then, they saw a man with a big hat and a long coat. He was hiding behind a bush and watching them. He had a mean face and a big bag. He saw the map in Lily's hand and wanted to take it.
+
+"Hey, you kids, give me that map!" he shouted. "It's mine! I made it!"
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They did not know the man and did not want to give him the map. They ran away from him, but he chased them. He was faster and bigger than them.
+
+He caught up with them and grabbed the map from Lily's hand. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, now I have the map and the treasure! You kids are too late!"
+
+He opened the map and looked at it. But he did not see what he expected. He saw a big message that said, "Surprise! This is not a real map. It is a gift for Lily and Tom. They are the best friends in the world. They are kind, brave, and humble. They make the world glow with their smiles. Happy birthday, Lily and Tom! Love, Mom and Dad."
+
+The man was confused and angry. He realized he had been tricked. He threw the map on the ground and ran away.
+
+Lily and Tom picked up the map and saw the message. They smiled and hugged each other. They did not care about the treasure. They had something better. They had each other. They thanked their parents for the map and the surprise. They were happy and proud. They glowed with joy.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big bowl of lemons on the table. They wanted to taste them, because they looked like yellow balls.
+
+They each took a lemon and bit into it. They made funny faces and spit out the sour juice. They laughed and laughed, because it was so funny. They wanted to make their mom laugh too, so they ran to the living room with the lemons.
+
+Mom was busy on the phone. She was talking to someone very important. She did not see Lily and Tom coming. They threw the lemons at her, hoping she would laugh. But she did not laugh. She screamed and dropped the phone. The lemons hit her in the face and the hair. She was very angry and sad.
+
+She scolded Lily and Tom and sent them to their room. She had to call back the important person and say sorry. She had to clean the mess and the stains. She did not laugh at all. She cried.
+
+Lily and Tom felt bad. They did not mean to make mom cry. They wanted to make her laugh. They did not like the lemons anymore. They wished they had never played with them. They hugged each other and said sorry. They hoped mom would forgive them. They learned a lesson. They never threw lemons again.
+Tom and Anna liked to play outside. They liked to run, jump, and look at the sky. The sky was blue and big and had many white things. Tom said they were clouds. Anna said they were sheep.
+
+One day, they saw a big red thing in the sky. It was round and bright and made the sky look orange. Tom said it was the sun. Anna said it was a ball.
+
+"I want to play with the ball," Anna said. "It looks fun."
+
+"But it is too high," Tom said. "We can't reach it."
+
+"Maybe we can use a stick," Anna said. She found a long stick on the ground and held it up. "Look, I can touch the ball."
+
+She swung the stick at the red thing, but it was still too far. She tried again and again, but she could not hit it.
+
+"Stop it, Anna," Tom said. "You can't play with the sun. It is hot and will hurt you."
+
+Anna did not listen. She wanted to play with the ball. She swung the stick harder and harder, until she hit something else.
+
+She hit a bee. The bee was angry and stung her on the arm. Anna cried out loud. It hurt a lot.
+
+Tom ran to her and hugged her. He was sorry for her. He said, "Don't cry, Anna. I will help you."
+
+He took her to their mom. Their mom was in the house. She saw Anna's arm and said, "Oh, no. What happened?"
+
+Tom told her what happened. He said, "Anna tried to play with the sun. She hit a bee with a stick. The bee stung her."
+
+Their mom said, "Anna, that was not a good idea. You should not play with the sun. It is not a ball. It is a star. And you should not hit bees. They are helpful. They make honey and flowers. You should be nice to them."
+
+She put some ice on Anna's arm and gave her a hug. She said, "I hope you learned your lesson. Next time, listen to Tom. He is a good brother. He knows a lot of things."
+
+Anna said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry, bee. I won't do it again."
+
+Their mom said, "That's good, Anna. I'm glad you are sorry. But you still have to be punished. You can't play outside for the rest of the day. You have to stay in your room and think about what you did."
+
+Anna nodded. She was sad, but she knew she did a bad thing. She said, "OK, mom. I will go to my room."
+
+She went to her room and lay on her bed. She looked out the window and saw the sun. It was still red and bright and made the sky look orange. She said, "Goodbye, sun. Goodbye, ball. Maybe I will see you tomorrow."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw some flowers and ran to smell them. They were pretty and sweet.
+
+But then they heard a buzz. A bee was flying near the flowers. Tom and Lily were scared of bees. They thought bees could sting them and hurt them.
+
+"Let's go away!" Tom said to Lily. "The bee is bad!"
+
+But Lily was curious. She wanted to see the bee. She said to Tom, "No, the bee is not bad. The bee is cool. The bee makes honey. Honey is yummy. And the bee helps the flowers grow. The flowers need the bee."
+
+Tom was not sure. He said to Lily, "But the bee can sting us. How do you know the bee is cool?"
+
+Lily said to Tom, "Look, the bee is not angry. The bee is busy. The bee is just doing its job. The bee does not want to sting us. The bee wants to find nectar. Nectar is the sweet juice in the flowers. The bee turns nectar into honey. That is cool!"
+
+Tom looked at the bee. He saw that the bee was not chasing them. The bee was flying from flower to flower. The bee was not making a loud buzz. The bee was making a soft hum. Tom thought the bee sounded happy.
+
+Tom said to Lily, "You are right. The bee is cool. The bee is not bad. The bee is good. Can we watch the bee?"
+
+Lily said to Tom, "Yes, we can watch the bee. But we have to be quiet and gentle. We do not want to scare the bee. We want to be friends with the bee."
+
+Tom and Lily watched the bee. They saw how the bee turned nectar into honey. They saw how the bee helped the flowers grow. They learned a lot from the bee. They were not scared of the bee anymore. They liked the bee. The bee was cool.
