Lily asked. + +"Me too, me too!" Max said. + +Mom gave them each a spoon and a jar of jam. She told them to spread it on their toast carefully and not to make a mess. + +Lily and Max started to spread the jam on their toast. But Max wanted more jam than Lily. He took a big scoop of jam and put it on his toast. Then he took another scoop and put it on Lily's toast. + +"Hey, stop it!" Lily said. "That's too much jam! You're wasting it!" + +"No, I'm not!" Max said. "I like jam. It's yummy!" + +Lily got angry. She took her toast and threw it at Max. Max dodged it and threw his toast back at her. Soon they were having a toast and jam fight. Jam was flying everywhere. It got on their faces, their clothes, their hair, and even on the sausage. + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what was going on. They saw Lily and Max covered in jam and toast crumbs, and the table and the floor sticky and messy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why are you throwing food?" + +"We're sorry, Mom," Lily and Max said. "We were spreading jam, but then we had a fight." + +Mom and dad shook their heads. They told Lily and Max to stop fighting and to clean up the mess. They also told them to share the jam and the sausage nicely. Lily and Max said they were sorry again and hugged each other.

They all sat down and enjoyed their breakfast together. +Tim and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. But they also liked to look for pebbles. Pebbles were small and hard and shiny. They had many colors and shapes. + +One day, they found a very big pebble. It was orange and round and smooth. They thought it was a treasure. They wanted to take it home and show their mom and dad. But the pebble was too heavy for them to carry. They tried to push it, but it did not move. + +They saw a big stick near the pebble. They thought they could use the stick to break the pebble into smaller pieces. Then they could take the pieces home. They took turns hitting the pebble with the stick. They hit it hard and fast. They wanted to destroy the pebble. + +But the pebble did not break. It was too strong. Instead, the stick broke. It snapped in half and flew away. Tim and Mia were sad and angry. They threw the stick away and cried. They did not want to play with the pebble anymore. + +Then they heard a voice. It was a man who worked in the park. He came to see what they were doing. He saw the pebble and the stick and their tears. He smiled and said, "Do you know what this is? This is not a pebble. This is an orange ball. It is made of rubber. You can bounce it and roll it and throw it. It is not a treasure, but it is a toy. Do you want to play with it?" + +Tim and Mia looked at the man and the ball. They wiped their tears and nodded. They took the ball and thanked the man. They forgot about the pebble and the stick. They played with the ball and had fun. They liked the orange ball. It was a good toy. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. Some were big and loud, some were small and fast. They made roads and bridges with their blocks and pretended to drive around. + +One day, they decided to go to the store with their mom. They wanted to buy a new car for their collection. They saw many cars on the shelves, but they all looked the same. They were bored and wanted something unique. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Lily said, pointing to a corner. "There is a wreck!" + +Ben followed her finger and saw a car that was broken and dirty. It had no wheels, no windows, and no doors. It looked like it had been in a big crash. It was the only car like that in the store. + +"Wow, that's a cool car!" Ben said. "It's unique. Can we have it, mom?" + +Mom looked at the car and frowned. She did not think it was cool. She thought it was ugly and useless. + +"No, Ben, you can't have that car. It's a wreck. It doesn't work. You have enough cars at home. Let's go," she said. + +But Ben and Lily did not want to go. They wanted the wreck. They thought it was special and fun. They begged and cried and made a fuss. + +"Please, mom, please! We love the wreck! We will fix it and make it beautiful! We will share it and play with it every day! Please, please, please!" they said. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She did not understand why they liked the wreck so much. But she saw how much they wanted it and how sad they were. She loved them and wanted them to be happy. + +"Okay, okay, you can have the wreck. But only if you promise to be good and help me with the groceries," she said. + +Ben and Lily cheered and hugged the wreck. They thanked mom and promised to be good and help. They were so happy. They had a unique car that no one else had. They could not wait to play with it at home. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys on the floor. They had cars, dolls, blocks and books. They were having fun and making noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Ben said. + +"Beep, beep, my doll is driving too!" Anna said. + +But then, their mom came into the room. She looked at the mess on the floor and frowned. + +"Anna, Ben, stop playing now. It's time to eat. Come to the table, please," she said. + +Anna and Ben did not want to stop. They wanted to play more. + +"Mom, can we play a little more? Please, please, please?" Anna asked. + +"No, you can't. You have to eat. You are hungry and the food is ready.

They had soup, bread and cheese. They did not like soup. It was hot and watery. + +"Mom, do we have to eat soup? We don't like soup. It's yucky," Ben said. + +"Yes, you do. Soup is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. Try it, you might like it," mom said. + +Anna and Ben tried the soup. They made faces and spat it out. They felt uncomfortable and unhappy. + +"Mom, we don't like soup. It's bad. Can we have something else?" Anna said. + +"No, you can't. You have to eat what I give you. You are being rude and ungrateful. Eat your soup or you will have no dessert," mom said. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to eat soup, but they wanted dessert. They wanted ice cream and cookies. They decided to eat their soup, but very slowly and with many complaints. They hoped mom would not notice and give them dessert anyway.

She wanted to keep the crib. + +She ran to the truck and tried to stop it. She cried and shouted, "No, no, no! That is my crib! I want my crib!" Mama and Daddy came to her and hugged her.

Something that will make the baby feel good?" + +Mama and Daddy smiled. They said, "Of course, Sara. What do you want to send with the crib?" Sara ran to her room and came back with her favorite teddy bear. She said, "I want to send this teddy bear with the crib. This teddy bear is soft and warm and cuddly. It makes me feel good. Maybe it will make the baby feel good too." + +Mama and Daddy hugged Sara again. They said, "That is very kind and generous of you, Sara. The baby will love your teddy bear. And you still have many other teddy bears in your room. You are a big girl and a good girl. We are very proud of you." They helped Sara put the teddy bear in the crib.

The baby with my crib and my teddy bear." +Tim and Mia were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun. + +But then they saw a big bear coming out of the woods. The bear was brown and furry and had sharp teeth. It looked scary. Tim and Mia were afraid. + +"Stop, bear, stop!" Tim shouted. He picked up the ball and threw it at the bear. The ball hit the bear on the nose. The bear roared and shook its head. + +"Run, Mia, run!" Mia said.

They hugged her and told her what happened. + +"Mom, mom, there was a scary bear in the park!" Tim said. + +"Oh, my, are you okay?" Mom asked. She looked at the bear, who was still in the woods. She saw that it had a collar and a tag. It was not a wild bear, but a lost pet. + +"Don't worry, kids, that bear is not dangerous. It belongs to someone who lives nearby. He must have escaped from his home. I will call the animal shelter and they will come and get him. He will be safe and happy there. You are brave and smart, Tim and Mia. I'm proud of you." Mom said. + +Tim and Mia felt better. They were glad that the bear was not scary after all. They gave their mom a kiss and asked if they could play with the ball again.

They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a well in the park. They wanted to visit the well. + +"Let's go to the well," Lily said. "Maybe we can see the water." + +"OK," Tom said. "But be careful. Don't fall in." + +They ran to the well. They looked inside. They saw a shiny coin at the bottom. + +"Wow, look at the coin," Lily said. "I wish I had it." + +"Me too," Tom said. "But how can we get it?" + +They thought for a while. Then Lily had an idea. + +"I know," she said. "We can use a rope. We can tie the rope to the well and lower ourselves down." + +"That sounds fun," Tom said. "Let's try it." + +They found a rope near the well. They tied one end to the well and the other end to Lily's waist. Tom held the rope and Lily climbed down. + +"Be careful, Lily," Tom said. "Don't let go of the rope." + +"I won't," Lily said. "I can see the coin. It's so shiny." + +She reached for the coin. But she was too dizzy. She felt sick. She let go of the rope. + +"Ahh!" she screamed. "Help me, Tom!" + +Tom heard Lily scream.

She was wet and cold. She was crying. + +"Tom, help me," Lily said. "I'm sorry. I was dizzy. I want to go home." + +Tom felt sorry for Lily. He wanted to help her. But he didn't know how. + +He ran to find help. He saw a man near the well. He was a park ranger. He had a hat and a badge. + +"Help, help," Tom said. "My friend fell into the well. She's in the water. She's cold and wet. Please help her." + +The park ranger heard Tom. He was surprised. He ran to the well. He saw Lily in the water. He was worried. + +"Don't worry, kids," he said. "I'll get her out. Stay calm." + +He took a ladder from his truck. He put the ladder into the well. He climbed down. He reached for Lily. He lifted her up. He carried her to the top. + +He gave Lily a blanket. He checked her pulse. He called an ambulance. + +"You're OK, Lily," he said. "You're brave. But you're also lucky.

"You're a good friend. You saved me." + +Tom hugged Lily back. He was happy. He was also relieved. + +"You're welcome, Lily," he said. "You're a good friend too. But don't scare me like that again.

And we will not hide them again." + +Mom says: + +"Good. I am glad you learned your lesson. Now you can have lunch. But not the expensive lunch. The expensive lunch is for special days.

Let's crawl and see," Ben said. + +They crawled under the swing and reached for the shiny thing. It was hard and cold and had many colors.

She missed her friend Lily, who moved to a new house far away. She wanted to play with Lily and share her toys and stories. But Lily was not here. + +One day, Anna's mom gave her a big envelope. She said, "This is a message from Lily. She made it for you. Do you want to see what's inside?" + +Anna nodded and opened the envelope. She saw a picture of Lily and her new house, with a big smile and a heart. She also saw a letter with words that Lily wrote. Anna could not read the words, but she knew they were nice. She also saw a small teddy bear with a pink bow. It was soft and warm. + +Anna hugged the teddy bear and smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Lily. I love you both. Can I send a message to Lily too?" + +Mom said, "Of course, you can. We can make a picture and a letter and a gift for Lily. And we can call her on the phone and say hello. Lily is still your friend, even if she lives far away." + +Anna felt happy. She did not cry anymore. She had a message from Lily, and she had a warm teddy bear. She knew Lily was thinking of her, and she was thinking of Lily. They were still friends. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. They called it their luxury house, because it was so nice and big. They liked to pretend they were a family living in the luxury house. + +One day, their mom said she had a surprise for them. She took them to a store that had many more toys. She said they could each choose one toy to take home, but they had to pay for it with their own money. Anna and Ben had saved some money from their birthday and chores, but not much. They looked around the store and saw many things they liked, but they were too expensive. + +Then, Anna saw a beautiful dress for her doll. It was pink and sparkly and had a bow. She wanted it very much. She looked at the price tag and saw it was five dollars. She counted her money and saw she had six dollars. She was happy. She took the dress and went to the cashier. + +Ben saw a cool car for his toy garage. It was red and shiny and had a horn. He wanted it very much. He looked at the price tag and saw it was seven dollars. He counted his money and saw he had four dollars. He was sad. He put the car back and looked for something cheaper. + +Anna saw Ben was sad. She remembered how they liked to play together in their luxury house. She had an idea. She went to Ben and said, "Ben, I have a gift for you. You can have my money and buy the car you like. I don't need the dress. I have enough clothes for my doll." + +Ben was surprised. He said, "Anna, are you sure? That is very generous of you. You worked hard to save your money. You should buy the dress you like." + +Anna said, "No, Ben, I want you to be happy. You are my brother and I love you. You can pay me back later with a hug and a kiss." + +Ben smiled. He said, "Thank you, Anna. You are the best sister ever. I love you too. You can have a hug and a kiss right now." He hugged and kissed Anna and took her money. He went to the cashier and bought the car he liked. + +Their mom saw what they did and was very proud of them. She said, "Anna and Ben, you are very kind and generous to each other. You have learned a valuable lesson today. Money can buy toys, but it can't buy love. Love is the best luxury of all." She hugged and kissed them both and took them home. They played happily in their luxury house with their new toys. They were a happy family. +Ben is a very intelligent boy. He likes to learn new things and play with his toys. He has a big pot that he uses to make pretend soup. He puts water, leaves, rocks and other things in the pot and stirs them with a spoon. + +One day, Ben's mom tells him to lie down for a nap. Ben does not want to nap. He wants to play with his pot. He says, "Mom, I am not sleepy. Can I play with my pot?" + +Mom says, "No, Ben. You need to rest. You can play with your pot later. Now go to your bed and lie down." + +Ben is sad and angry. He goes to his bed, but he does not lie down. He sits up and thinks of a plan. He takes his pot and puts it under his blanket. He makes a lump with the pot and the blanket. He thinks, "Mom will think I am lying down. She will not see my pot. I can play with it when she is not looking." + +Ben smiles and waits for mom to leave. He thinks he is very clever. But mom is also intelligent. She knows Ben does not like to nap. She comes back to check on him. She sees the lump under the blanket. She says, "Ben, what is that under your blanket? Is that your pot?" + +Ben is surprised and scared. He says, "No, mom. That is not my pot. That is my pillow." + +Mom says, "Ben, do not lie to me. I can see your pot. You did not lie down. You tried to trick me. That is not nice. You have to tell the truth." + +Ben feels ashamed and sorry. He says, "I am sorry, mom. I lied to you. I wanted to play with my pot. I did not want to nap. Please forgive me." + +Mom says, "I forgive you, Ben. But you have to learn to obey me. Napping is good for you. It helps you grow and be healthy. And lying is bad for you. It hurts me and you. You have to be honest and respectful. Do you understand?" + +Ben says, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will not lie to you again. I will nap now. Can I play with my pot later?" + +Mom says, "Yes, Ben. You can play with your pot later. But first, you have to lie down and sleep. I love you, Ben." + +Ben says, "I love you, mom." He puts his pot away and lies down. He closes his eyes and falls asleep. He dreams of making soup with his pot. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to watch TV. They watched cartoons, animals, and songs. Sometimes they learned new words from the TV. They were happy when they watched TV. + +One day, their mom said, "Tom and Lily, I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the garage." Tom and Lily followed their mom, curious and excited.

They hugged their mom and thanked her. They wanted to see the new TV right away. Their mom said, "Let's go to the living room and set it up. Then you can watch whatever you want." + +They carried the new TV to the living room and plugged it in. Their mom turned it on and gave them the remote. Tom and Lily pressed the buttons and saw different channels. They saw cartoons, animals, and songs. They also saw new things, like sports, news, and movies. They were amazed and happy. + +Tom said, "Look, Lily, this TV is so cool. It has so many things to watch. Let's examine it more and find out what else it can do." Lily said, "Yes, Tom, let's examine it more and have more fun. This is the best surprise ever. Thank you, mom." Their mom smiled and watched them enjoy the new TV. She was happy too. She knew they would love the new TV. She had planned this surprise for a long time. She was glad she could make them happy. +Ben and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like monkeys, lions, and giraffes. But Ben and Lily wanted to see the elephants most of all. They loved elephants. They had a toy elephant at home, but it was old and dirty. + +"Can we get a new elephant, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"A new elephant? Where would we keep it?" Mom said. + +"In our backyard. It can play with us and eat grass and peanuts," Lily said. + +Mom and Dad laughed. "Elephants are very big and need a lot of space and care. We can't order a new elephant, sweeties. But we can order some ice cream if you like," Dad said. + +Ben and Lily thought for a moment. Ice cream was yummy and cold. They liked ice cream. But they liked elephants more. + +"Can we order ice cream with elephant sprinkles?" Ben said. + +"Elephant sprinkles? What are those?" Mom said. + +"They are little candies that look like elephants. They are gray and have trunks and ears," Lily said. + +Mom and Dad smiled. "That sounds fun. Let's see if they have them at the ice cream stand. Come on, let's go and order some ice cream with elephant sprinkles," Dad said. + +Ben and Lily cheered. They held Mom and Dad's hands and walked to the ice cream stand. They ordered two cones with vanilla ice cream and elephant sprinkles. They licked their ice cream and looked at the elephants. They were happy. They had a new elephant, at least for a little while. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play outside in the park. But today it is very cold. Mom says they need to wear jackets and hats. + +"Come on, Ben and Mia, let's go!" Mom says. She helps them put on their jackets and hats. Ben has a blue jacket and Mia has a pink jacket. + +They go to the park and see a big slide. Ben and Mia love the slide. They run to the slide and take turns to go down. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, Ben sees a big dog. The dog is black and has a wide mouth. The dog barks and runs to the slide. Ben is scared of the dog. He screams and runs to Mom. + +"MOM! MOM! HELP!" Ben screams. Mom hears Ben and sees the dog. She runs to Ben and hugs him. + +"It's okay, Ben, it's okay. The dog won't hurt you. He just wants to play," Mom says.

You are nice. What is your name?" + +The dog's owner comes to the slide. He is a boy. He says, "His name is Rex. He is my dog. He likes to play with kids. He is friendly. I'm sorry he scared your brother." + +Ben looks at the dog and the boy. He sees that the dog is not mean. He sees that the boy is nice. He stops screaming and says, "It's okay. I'm sorry I screamed. Can I play with Rex?" + +The boy nods and says, "Sure, you can. Rex likes to play fetch. Do you want to throw the ball for him?" + +Ben smiles and says, "Yes, I do. Can Mia play too?" + +The boy says, "Of course. The more, the merrier." + +Mom says, "That's very kind of you. Thank you for sharing your dog with us." + +The boy says, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like him." + +Ben, Mia, Rex and the boy play fetch in the park. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the cold. They are happy. +One day, a little girl named Mia wanted to skip in the park. She loved to skip because it made her feel happy and free. She put on her pink shoes and her yellow dress and ran outside. + +But when she got to the park, she saw something scary. There was a giant in the park. He was very big and very loud. He had a long beard and a big belly. He was throwing rocks and breaking trees. He did not care about the flowers or the birds or the people. He was ignorant. + +Mia was afraid of the giant. She wanted to run away, but she also wanted to skip. She had an idea. She saw a big pile of leaves near the giant. She ran to the pile and hid behind it. Then she started to skip. She skipped very quietly, so the giant would not hear her. + +The giant did not see Mia. He was too busy making noise and mess. He did not notice the pile of leaves moving. He did not notice the little girl skipping behind him. He was ignorant. + +But Mia was not ignorant. She was smart and brave. She skipped and skipped until she reached the other side of the park. Then she ran to her mom, who was waiting for her. She told her mom about the giant and how she skipped past him. Her mom hugged her and praised her. She said Mia was a clever and kind girl. She said she was proud of her. Mia felt happy and free. She loved to skip. +Tom and Jen are twins. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big bottle of oil in the garage.

She sees the oil and the twins. She is angry and worried. + +"Tom, Jen, what have you done?" Mom says. "This is not water, this is oil. It is dirty and dangerous. You could have hurt yourself badly. You are very lucky it was not worse." + +She picks up Jen and hugs her. She cleans her knee and puts a band-aid on it. She tells Tom to stop sliding and help her clean the oil. She says they have to be more careful and ask before they touch things. + +Tom and Jen are sorry. They say they are sorry to Mom. They help her clean the oil. They hug her and say they love her.

She was not happy. + +She said to Tom, "What are you doing, Tom? Why are you taking Anna's invitation? That is not nice. That is not fair. You should be kind to your sister. You should share with her." + +Tom did not know what to say. He felt bad. He let go of the invitation. He shrugged. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Anna. I was hungry and bored. I wanted to go to the party too." + +Mom said, "I understand, Tom. But you can't go to the party. It is for Lily and her friends. You are too old for that. You have to find something else to do. Why don't you make a sandwich and read a book? Or play with your toys? Or help me with the dishes?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He said, "OK, Mom. I will make a sandwich and read a book. And I will help you with the dishes later. I'm sorry, Anna. I hope you have fun at the party. Can I have some cake when you come back?" + +Anna smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you.

She wanted to keep it. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud honk. They looked up and saw a big truck. It was the mailman. He was angry. He saw Ben and Lily with the mail. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing?" he shouted. "That's not your mail. That's mine. Put it back right now." + +Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped the mail and ran away. They did not want to get in trouble. They ran back to the yard and hid behind a tree. + +"Are you okay?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I'm okay," Lily said. "But I'm sorry. I should not have taken the sticker. That was bad." + +"It's okay," Ben said. "We all make mistakes. But we should not touch the mail again. That's not safe. The mailman might get mad. Or we might get hurt by the truck. Or we might lose something important." + +"You're right," Lily said. "The mail is not for us. It's for other people. We should leave it alone." + +They hugged and said sorry. They decided to play something else. They saw a ball and a hoop. They liked to play basketball. They ran to the hoop and threw the ball.

Tom was curious. He wanted to touch it. He reached out his hand and pulled the point. + +But the point was sharp. It cut Tom's hand. Tom screamed and let go of the point. He slid down the slide. But the slide was filthy. It had dirt and mud and bugs on it. Tom got filthy too. He had blood and dirt and mud and bugs on his clothes and skin.

They saw many animals on the way. They saw monkeys and elephants and giraffes. They saw birds and snakes and crocodiles. They saw bears and lions and zebras.

It showed its teeth and claws. It was scary and beautiful. + +Lily and Ben were amazed. They wanted to touch the tiger. They wanted to feel its soft fur. But they knew they couldn't. They knew the tiger was not a pet. They knew the tiger was wild and dangerous. They stayed behind the fence. They waved and said hello. + +The tiger looked at them again. It seemed curious and bored. It got up and walked around. It sniffed and growled. It rubbed its head on a tree. It was strong and graceful. + +Lily and Ben clapped and cheered. They were happy. They had seen the tiger.

They saw the keys and the boxes and the scratches and the tears. They were sad and disappointed. They told Lily and Anna that they should not fight over things.

Maybe it says we can have ice cream or go to the zoo." Ben says. + +"Or maybe it says something scary. Maybe it says there is a monster or a big hole." Lily says. + +Lily and Ben are curious. They want to know what the sign says. But they are also afraid. They do not want to get in trouble or get hurt. + +"I dare you to touch the sign, Lily." Ben says. + +"No, I dare you to touch the sign, Ben." Lily says. + +They look at each other. They are both brave. They both want to touch the sign. They hold hands and walk slowly to the post. They reach out their fingers and touch the sign. + +Suddenly, the sign makes a loud noise. It says "Happy Birthday, Lily and Ben!" It also plays a song and shoots out confetti. Lily and Ben are surprised and happy. They laugh and clap their hands. They do not know that their parents have made the sign for them. They think it is an amazing sign. + +They hug each other and say "We did it! We touched the sign! We are not afraid!" + +They run back to their parents and tell them what they did. Their parents smile and hug them. They give them cake and balloons. They say "We are proud of you, Lily and Ben. You are amazing!" +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play pretend. They had a big box of dress-up clothes and toys in their room. One day, they decided to be spies and look for clues in the house. + +They put on hats and coats and sunglasses. They also found a fake mustache in the box. It was long and black and flexible. They took turns sticking it on their faces and making funny noises. + +"Look at me, I'm a spy with a mustache!" Tim said. + +"Me too, me too!" Sam said. + +They ran around the house, looking for secrets. They peeked under the sofa, behind the curtains, and in the closets. They found a lot of things, but nothing very interesting. + +Then they came to the kitchen. They saw a big bowl on the table. It was filled with something white and fluffy. + +"What is that?" Tim asked. + +"I don't know, let's find out!" Sam said. + +They climbed on the chairs and looked inside the bowl. It was whipped cream! They smiled and licked their lips. + +"Yummy, let's have some!" Tim said. + +They dipped their fingers in the whipped cream and tasted it. It was sweet and soft and delicious. They wanted more. They filled their mouths with whipped cream and giggled. + +They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the doorway. She had made the whipped cream for a cake she was baking. She was not happy to see her sons eating it all. + +She cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, what are you two doing?" + +Tim and Sam turned around and saw their mom. They were scared. They tried to say sorry, but they could not. Their mouths were full of whipped cream. And their mustaches were too. The whipped cream had stuck to the fake mustaches and made them look even bigger and sillier. + +Their mom tried to be angry, but she could not. She saw their faces and laughed. They looked so funny with their whipped cream mustaches. She took a picture of them and said, "You two are very naughty, but also very cute. Now go wash your faces and help me with the cake." + +Tim and Sam nodded and ran to the bathroom. They were glad their mom was not mad. They were also glad they had the flexible mustaches. They made their spy game more fun. And they made their mom laugh. They decided to keep them for the next time they played pretend. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted some food. They saw a big cake on the table. It looked yummy. + +"Let's eat some cake," Lily said. + +"But Mom said no," Tom said. "She said it is for later." + +Lily did not care. She was not serious. She wanted cake now. She took a knife and cut a big slice. She held it in her hand. + +"Come on, Tom," she said. "It is so good. Mom will not know." + +Tom was scared. He was serious. He did not want to make Mom angry. He shook his head. + +"No, Lily," he said. "It is bad. Put it back." + +Lily did not listen. She took a big bite. She smiled. She ate more. + +Tom heard a sound. He looked at the door. He saw Mom. She was coming. She looked angry. + +"Uh-oh," Tom said. + +Lily saw Mom too. She dropped the cake. She tried to hide. It was too late. + +Mom saw the cake. She saw the knife. She saw Lily and Tom. She was very angry. + +"What did you do?" she yelled. "You ate the cake! You were not supposed to! You were naughty!" + +She grabbed Lily and Tom. She spanked them. She sent them to their room. She did not give them any food. They cried. + +They were hungry. They were sorry. They wished they had listened to Tom. They wished they had not eaten the cake. They learned their lesson. +Lily wanted to wear a costume for the party. She had a costume of a mighty lion. She liked to roar and pretend she was the king of the jungle. + +But her mom said no. She said the costume was too hot and too big. She said Lily would be uncomfortable and sweaty. She said Lily had to wear a nice dress and shoes. + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not want to wear a dress and shoes. She wanted to wear her lion costume. She said to her mom, "Please, mom, please. Let me wear my costume. I love my costume. It is fun and cool." + +Her mom looked at Lily. She saw how much Lily loved her costume. She saw how sad and angry Lily was. She thought for a moment. Then she said, "Okay, Lily. I will permit you to wear your costume. But only for a little while. When we get to the party, you have to change into your dress and shoes. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom, thank you. You are the best mom ever. I will change later, I promise." She ran to her room and put on her lion costume. She felt happy and proud. She roared and jumped. She was ready for the party. She was a mighty lion. +Tom and Mia were playing outside after the rain. They liked to jump in the puddles and splash each other. They saw a big puddle near the fence and ran towards it. + +"Let's see who can make the biggest splash!" Tom said. + +"OK, I'll go first!" Mia said. She jumped in the puddle with both feet and laughed. + +Tom waited for his turn. He jumped in the puddle too, but he did not laugh. He felt something wet and slimy on his foot. He looked down and saw a frog. + +"Ah! A frog!" Tom screamed. He was frightened of frogs. He tried to get his foot out of the puddle, but the frog held on. + +"Help! Help!" Tom cried. "The frog is biting me!" + +Mia heard Tom and ran to him. She saw the frog on his foot and realized what was wrong. + +"Don't worry, Tom. The frog is not biting you. It is just scared too. It thinks you are a big monster. Let me help you." Mia said. + +She gently touched the frog and said, "Hello, frog. We are not monsters. We are friends. Please let go of Tom's foot. He is sorry for jumping on you." + +The frog looked at Mia and then at Tom. It saw that they were not monsters, but children. It let go of Tom's foot and hopped away. + +Tom felt his foot and sighed. He was glad the frog was gone. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are very brave and kind. I'm sorry I jumped on the frog. I did not see it." Tom said. + +"That's OK, Tom. I'm sorry I splashed you. I did not know you were frightened of frogs." Mia said. + +They hugged each other and smiled. They decided to play somewhere else, away from the puddles and the frogs. They were still friends. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see big clouds in the sky. They hear loud wind and rain. They are scared. + +"Is this a hurricane?" Tom asks Sue. + +"I don't know. Let's go inside," Sue says. + +They run to Sue's house. They knock on the door. Sue's mom opens the door. She is jolly. + +"Hello, Tom and Sue. Come in, come in. Don't be afraid. It's just a storm," she says. + +She gives them hot chocolate and cookies. They sit on the couch and watch cartoons. They feel warm and cozy. + +The storm passes. The sun comes out. Tom and Sue go outside again. They see a big rainbow in the sky. They smile and hug. + +"Look, Sue. The storm is gone. The rainbow is beautiful," Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom. It is. I'm glad we are friends," Sue says. + +They hold hands and stand under the rainbow. They are happy. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the grass and the sand. But they did not like to share their cars with other kids. + +One day, a boy named Max came to the park with his mom. He saw Sam and Lily's cars and wanted to play with them. He asked them nicely, "Can I play with your cars, please?" + +Sam and Lily said no. They said, "These are our cars. Go away!" + +Max felt sad and angry. He waited until Sam and Lily were not looking and took one of their cars. He ran away with it and hid behind a tree. + +Sam and Lily noticed that one of their cars was gone. They looked around and saw Max with it. They shouted, "Hey, that's our car! Give it back!" + +Max said, "No, it's mine now. You were mean to me. I like this car. It's red and shiny." + +Sam and Lily ran after Max and tried to get their car back. They pulled and pushed and yelled. Max did not want to let go. He held the car tightly. + +But then, something happened. The car disappeared from their hands. It was gone. They could not see it or feel it. They were shocked and confused. + +They heard a voice from behind the tree. It was their mom. She said, "I saw what you did, Max. You took Sam and Lily's car without asking. That was not nice. And you, Sam and Lily, you did not share your cars with Max. That was not nice either. So I made the car disappear with my magic. Now none of you can play with it." + +Sam, Lily and Max felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, Max. We're sorry, Sam and Lily. We were not nice. We should have shared our cars." + +Mom said, "That's good. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, here's the car. It's back. But it's filthy. It's covered with dirt and grass and sand. You need to clean it before you can play with it again. And you need to play nicely with each other. Do you understand?" + +Sam, Lily and Max said, "Yes, mom. We understand. Thank you for the car. We will clean it and play nicely with each other. We will be friends." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good. I'm proud of you. Now, let's go home and have some cookies. But first, wash your hands. They're filthy too." +Sam and Ben are best friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many toys, but they want more. They want to go to the factory where they make cars and trucks. + +One day, they see a big truck outside their house. It has a sign that says "Factory Tour". Sam and Ben run to the truck and ask the driver. + +"Can we go to the factory with you?" they say. + +The driver smiles and says, "Sure, hop in. I will show you how they make cars and trucks." + +Sam and Ben are very happy. They get in the truck and zoom away. + +At the factory, they see many machines and workers. They see how they put metal and plastic and wheels together. They see how they paint and polish the cars and trucks. They see how they test them and make them go fast. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Sam says. + +"I wish I could have all these cars and trucks!" Ben says. + +The driver hears them and says, "You know, you can have one car or truck each. The factory is very rich. They have more than they need. They like to give some to good kids like you." + +Sam and Ben are very surprised and excited. They thank the driver and choose their favorite car and truck. They get in and zoom back to their house. + +They show their new toys to their parents and friends. They are very happy and proud. They play with them every day. They think the factory is the best place in the world. +Sara and Ben are friends who like to swim in the pool. Sara is very flexible and can do many tricks in the water. Ben is not so flexible, but he can swim fast and dive deep. Sometimes, Sara teases Ben and says he is stiff like a stick. Ben does not like it when Sara teases him. He feels sad and angry. + +One day, Sara and Ben are swimming in the pool. Sara does a flip and a twist and says, "Look at me, Ben! I am so flexible! Can you do this?" Ben shakes his head and says, "No, I can't. But I can do this!" He swims to the other side of the pool and dives to the bottom. He picks up a shiny stone and shows it to Sara. Sara says, "That's nice, Ben. But I can do this!" She does a split and a bend and says, "Can you do this?" + +Ben feels very upset. He says, "Stop teasing me, Sara! You are not nice! You are mean!" He throws the stone at Sara and swims away. Sara is surprised and hurt. She says, "Ben, wait! I'm sorry! I was just playing! Come back!" But Ben does not listen. He gets out of the pool and runs to his mom. + +Sara feels sorry for teasing Ben. She realizes that she was not being a good friend. She swims to the edge of the pool and calls out, "Ben, please come back! I want to say sorry! I want to be your friend!" But Ben does not hear her. He is already gone. + +Sara learns a lesson. She learns that teasing is not fun. She learns that teasing can hurt people's feelings. She learns that she should be kind and respectful to her friends. She hopes that Ben will forgive her and that they can swim together again. She hopes that they can both be flexible and enjoy their different skills. +Tom likes to eat pasta. He likes to eat it with cheese and sauce. But he does not like to use a fork. He likes to use his fingers. He thinks it is fun to play with the pasta. + +One day, Tom had an idea. He wanted to tie the pasta together. He took some long pasta and made knots. He made a pasta necklace. He put it around his neck. He felt very proud. + +But his mom did not like it. She saw Tom with his pasta necklace. She saw the cheese and sauce on his face and clothes. She saw the messy table and floor. She was not happy. She said, "Tom, what did you do? You made a big mess. You need to clean up and wash up. And no more tying pasta!" + +Tom felt sad. He liked his pasta necklace. He did not want to take it off. He did not want to clean up. He said, "But mom, I made it for you. It is a gift. Do you not like it?" + +His mom looked at him. She saw his big eyes and his cute smile. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Tom, I love you. And I appreciate your gift. But pasta is for eating, not for tying. Next time, you can make me a card or a drawing. And you can help me cook the pasta. OK?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "OK, mom. I love you too. I am sorry for the mess. I will help you clean up and wash up. And I will eat the pasta with a fork. But can I keep the necklace?" + +His mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can keep the necklace. But only for today. Tomorrow, we will throw it away. It will get bad and smelly. And we will make some fresh pasta. Deal?" + +Tom agreed. He said, "Deal, mom. Thank you." He gave her a hug and a kiss. He took off his pasta necklace and put it in a bag. He helped his mom clean up and wash up. He ate the pasta with a fork. He was a good boy. He learned his lesson. He never tied pasta again. +Lily liked to study the ocean. She had many books with pictures of fish and shells and waves. She wanted to see them for real. But her mom said the ocean was too far and too big and too deep. She said Lily had to stay safe at home. + +One day, Lily saw a bus outside her house. It had a sign that said "Ocean Trip". Lily was very curious. She ran out of her door and got on the bus. She did not tell her mom. She thought she would be back soon. + +The bus drove for a long time. Lily saw many things she had never seen before. She saw cows and trees and bridges and cars. She was happy. But then she got tired and hungry and thirsty. She wished she had her mom and her books. + +The bus finally stopped at a big beach. Lily saw the ocean. It was blue and shiny and noisy. She was amazed. She wanted to touch it. She got off the bus and ran to the water. She did not see the sign that said "Danger". + +The water was cold and wet and salty. It splashed on Lily's feet and made her laugh. She went deeper and deeper. She did not hear the bus driver calling her name. She did not see the big wave coming. + +The wave was very strong. It knocked Lily down and pulled her under. Lily was scared. She could not breathe. She could not see. She could not hear. She wanted her mom. She wanted to be safe. + +But then, something grabbed her hand. It was a fish. A big, bright, friendly fish. It had a smile and a fin and a tail. It pulled Lily up to the surface. It helped her swim to the shore. It said goodbye and swam away. + +Lily was wet and cold and tired and sad. She cried. She saw the bus driver and the other kids. They were worried and angry. They took her back to the bus. They drove her home. + +Lily's mom was waiting for her. She was very worried and angry too. She hugged Lily and scolded her. She said Lily was naughty and foolish and lucky. She said Lily could have died. She said Lily had to study the ocean from her books, not from the bus. + +Lily was sorry. She said she was sorry. She said she loved her mom. She said she loved the ocean too. She said she wanted to see the fish again. She said the fish was nice and brave and smart. She said the fish saved her. + +Lily's mom was surprised. She did not believe Lily. She said Lily had a big imagination. She said Lily had to go to bed. She said Lily had to forget the fish. + +But Lily did not forget the fish. She dreamed of the fish. She drew the fish. She wrote the fish. She thanked the fish. She hoped the fish was safe. She hoped the fish would study her too. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +They ran to the tree and looked for a place to climb. Ben saw a twig that was long and strong. He grabbed the twig and pulled himself up. He felt happy and brave. He said to Lily, "Come on, Lily, climb with me. It is fun up here." + +Lily looked at the twig. She felt scared and unsure. She said to Ben, "I don't know, Ben. The twig looks thin and weak. What if it breaks and we fall?" + +Ben said, "Don't worry, Lily. The twig is strong enough. Trust me. I will help you. We can do it together." + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. She wanted to have fun with Ben. She decided to try. She reached for the twig and held it tight. Ben held her hand and helped her up. She felt nervous and excited. + +They climbed higher and higher until they reached the top of the tree. They saw the open sky and the birds and the clouds. They felt happy and proud. They smiled at each other and said, "We did it, Lily. We did it, Ben. We are the best climbers in the park." +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their mom's jewelry. They would put on the shiny rings, necklaces and bracelets and pretend to be kings and queens. But sometimes they would fight over who got to wear what. + +One day, they found a big box of jewelry in their mom's closet. They opened it and saw many beautiful things inside. They both wanted to try them all, but there was not enough for both of them. + +"I want this crown!" Anna said, grabbing a tiara with sparkly stones. + +"No, I want it!" Ben said, pulling the tiara from her hands. + +They started to tug and pull on the tiara, each one trying to get it for themselves. They were very stubborn and did not want to share. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said, hearing the noise. She came into the closet and saw them fighting over the tiara. "That's not how you play with jewelry. You have to be gentle and careful. And you have to take turns and share." + +"But mom, we both want it!" Anna and Ben said. + +"Well, you can't have it at the same time. How about you split it?" their mom said. + +"Split it?" Anna and Ben said, confused. + +"Yes, split it. You can each have half of the tiara. That way, you can both wear it and be happy." their mom said, taking the tiara and breaking it in two. + +She gave one half to Anna and one half to Ben. They looked at the broken tiara and felt sad. It was not shiny and beautiful anymore. It was just a piece of metal and stones. + +"Mom, why did you do that?" Anna and Ben said. + +"I did it to teach you a lesson. Jewelry is not a toy. It is something special and precious. You have to respect it and take care of it. And you have to share it with others. If you don't, you might lose it or break it. And then you will have nothing." their mom said. + +Anna and Ben realized their mom was right. They felt sorry for what they did. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They gave back the broken tiara and asked her to fix it. + +Their mom smiled and said she would try. She told them to go and play with something else. She also told them to be nice to each other and to share. + +Anna and Ben nodded and said they would. They went to their room and found some other toys to play with. They decided to split them and share them. They had more fun that way. They learned their lesson and never fought over jewelry again. +Sara and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they brought their buckets and shovels to make sand castles. Sara made a big castle with a tower and a flag. Tom made a small castle with a moat and a bridge. + +"Look at my castle, Sara!" Tom said. "It has a bridge and water!" + +"Look at my castle, Tom!" Sara said. "It has a tower and a flag!" + +They both thought their castles were attractive and wanted to show them to each other. But when they got closer, they bumped into each other and their buckets fell. The sand spilled and ruined their castles. + +"Oh no!" Tom cried. "You broke my castle!" + +"Oh no!" Sara cried. "You broke my castle!" + +They both got angry and started to cry. They blamed each other for the accident and said mean words. They did not want to play together anymore. + +They sat on opposite sides of the park and sulked. They felt sad and lonely. They missed their friend and their castles. + +After a while, they looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they had made a mistake and hurt each other's feelings. They wanted to say sorry and make up. + +"Tom, I'm sorry I broke your castle," Sara said. "It was an accident. I didn't mean to." + +"Sara, I'm sorry I broke your castle," Tom said. "It was an accident. I didn't mean to." + +They both smiled and hugged. They forgave each other and became friends again. + +"Let's make a new castle together," Sara said. "We can share our buckets and shovels." + +"OK, let's do that," Tom said. "We can make the best castle ever." + +They went back to the sand and started to build a new castle. They used their buckets and shovels and added shells and stones. They made a big castle with a tower, a flag, a bridge and a moat. They both thought their castle was attractive and were proud of it. + +They played happily and had fun. They learned to forgive and to share. They were best friends. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, they see a big puddle near the road. They want to splash in the puddle. They run to the puddle and jump in. + +The puddle is very wet and cold. Lila and Ben laugh and kick the water. They do not see the car coming fast. The car is loud and scary. The driver does not see Lila and Ben in the puddle. + +Lila and Ben hear the car and try to get out of the puddle. But they are too late. They stumble and fall in the water. The car hits them and hurts them. Lila and Ben cry and bleed. The driver stops and gets out of the car. He is sorry and scared. He calls for help. + +The help comes and takes Lila and Ben to the hospital. The doctor says they are very hurt and need to stay in the hospital for a long time. They have broken bones and cuts and bruises. They need to take medicine and rest. They cannot play outside in the sun anymore. + +Lila and Ben are sad and angry. They wish they did not go to the puddle. They wish they listened to their mom and dad. They say the puddle is bad and not useful. They say they hate the puddle and the car. They say they want to go home and be happy again. But they cannot. They have to stay in the hospital and be hurt. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They like to go on the slide. The slide is big and fun. + +One day, Lily and Ben go to the park. They see a new slide. The new slide is bigger and faster than the old slide. Lily and Ben want to try the new slide. + +But there is a problem. The new slide is too high for Lily and Ben. They need a stool to reach the top. There is only one stool at the park. A boy has the stool. His name is Sam. + +Lily and Ben ask Sam if they can lend the stool. Sam says no. He says the stool is his and he does not share. Lily and Ben are sad. They think Sam is mean. + +Then, a girl comes to the park. Her name is Mia. Mia is honest and kind. She sees Lily and Ben and asks them what is wrong. They tell her about the new slide and the stool and Sam. + +Mia has an idea. She says she has a stool at home. She says she can go and get it and bring it to the park. She says she can lend it to Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben are happy. They thank Mia and wait for her to come back. + +Mia runs to her home and gets her stool. She runs back to the park and gives it to Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben use the stool to climb the new slide. They have a lot of fun. They take turns and share the stool. + +Sam sees Lily and Ben and Mia. He sees them having fun on the new slide. He feels lonely and sorry. He wishes he had shared his stool. + +He goes to Lily and Ben and Mia. He says he is sorry for being mean. He says he wants to be their friend. He says he will lend his stool to them. + +Lily and Ben and Mia are surprised. They are glad that Sam is honest and sorry. They say they forgive him and they can be friends. They say they can all play on the new slide together. + +They share the stools and the slide. They have more fun than ever. They learn that sharing and being honest and kind are good. They are happy. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big saw on the grass. It is wet and shiny. + +"Look, a saw!" Tim says. "Can we play with it?" + +"No, Tim, that is not a toy," Jen says. "It is sharp and can hurt you. Mommy told me to stay away from saws." + +Jen reminds Tim of what Mommy said. Tim remembers and nods. He does not want to get hurt. + +"Let's play with something else," Jen says. "How about the slide?" + +"Okay, that sounds fun," Tim says. "But first, let's tell someone about the saw. Maybe it belongs to someone who is working here." + +They look around and see a man in a yellow hat. He is carrying some wood. They run to him and point at the saw. + +"Excuse me, sir, is this your saw?" Jen asks. + +The man looks surprised and smiles. He thanks them for finding his saw. He says he left it by mistake when he went to get more wood. He says he is building a new bench for the park. + +"That is very nice of you," Jen says. + +"Can we help you?" Tim asks. + +The man laughs and says they are too little to help with the saw, but they can help by picking a color for the bench. He shows them some paint cans. + +Tim and Jen are happy. They help the man choose a color. They pick blue, because it is their favorite. The man says he likes blue too. He says he will paint the bench when it is dry. + +Tim and Jen say goodbye to the man and go to the slide. They have fun sliding down and up. They are glad they did not play with the saw. They are glad they helped the man. They are good friends. +Ben liked to throw things. He threw his toys, his food, his clothes. He threw them at the wall, at the floor, at his mom and dad. He did not care if he made a mess or hurt someone. He just wanted to have fun. + +One day, Ben went to the park with his mom. He saw a group of kids playing with a ball. He wanted to join them, but he did not know how to ask. He ran to the ball and threw it as hard as he could. The ball flew over the fence and landed in the street. The kids were angry and sad. They yelled at Ben and told him to go away. + +Ben felt bad. He wanted to say sorry, but he did not know how. He saw a car coming fast on the street. He saw the ball in front of the car. He was scared. He ran to the fence and tried to get the ball. But the fence was too high and the car was too close. He could not reach the ball. + +His mom saw him and ran to him. She grabbed him and pulled him back. She was scared and angry. She hugged him and scolded him. She told him he was very naughty and dangerous. She told him he could have been hurt or hurt someone else. She told him he had to learn to be patient and polite. She told him he had to respect other people and their things. + +Ben cried. He understood he did something wrong. He wished he could take it back. He wished he could play with the kids and the ball. He wished he could be a good boy. He looked at his mom and said sorry. He looked at the kids and said sorry. He hoped they would forgive him and let him play. + +The kids saw him and heard him. They were still angry and sad, but they also felt sorry for him. They saw he was sorry and wanted to be friends. They decided to give him a chance. They threw the ball back over the fence and invited him to play. They told him he had to be patient and polite. They told him he had to share and take turns. They told him he had to be careful and gentle. + +Ben nodded. He was happy and grateful. He thanked them and joined them. He played with the ball and the kids. He did not throw things anymore. He learned to be patient and polite. He learned to respect other people and their things. He learned to have fun and make friends. He was a good boy. +The boy was hungry. He wanted to eat something good. He saw a big cake on the table. It looked yummy. He reached for the cake. + +"Stop!" a voice said. The boy turned around. He saw a weird animal. It had a long nose, big ears and a furry tail. It was sitting on a chair. It was holding a spoon. + +"Who are you?" the boy asked. + +"I am a snoot. I live in this house. This is my cake. You can't have it," the snoot said. + +"But I'm hungry. Can I have some cake, please?" the boy said. + +"No. This cake is only for snoots. You are not a snoot. You are a boy. Boys eat other things. Like bread and cheese and fruit," the snoot said. + +The boy felt sad. He liked cake. He did not like bread and cheese and fruit. He wanted to try the snoot's cake. + +"Please, can I have a little bite? Just one?" the boy said. + +The snoot thought for a moment. He felt sorry for the boy. He decided to share his cake. + +"Okay, fine. You can have a little bite. But only one. And you have to feed me first," the snoot said. + +"Feed you? How?" the boy said. + +"Like this. You take the spoon. You scoop some cake. You put it in my mouth. Then I chew and swallow. Then you can have a bite," the snoot said. + +The boy did what the snoot said. He took the spoon. He scooped some cake. He put it in the snoot's mouth. The snoot chewed and swallowed. He made a happy noise. + +"Thank you. That was good. Now you can have a bite," the snoot said. + +The boy took a bite of the cake. It was sweet and soft and delicious. He liked it very much. He smiled. + +"Thank you. That was good. Can I have another bite?" the boy said. + +The snoot shook his head. + +"No. That was enough. You had your share. Now we have to save the rest for later. Maybe we can have some more tomorrow. If you are nice to me," the snoot said. + +The boy nodded. He understood. He was nice to the snoot. He said goodbye. He went to find his mom. He told her about the snoot and the cake. She did not believe him. She thought he was making it up. She laughed. + +The boy did not mind. He knew it was true. He had a new friend. A weird friend. A snoot. +Anna and Ben are friends who like to play at the park. They both love to swing on the swings and see who can go higher. They are very competitive and always try to beat each other. + +One day, they are swinging and laughing when Anna says, "I can swing higher than you, Ben. Look at me, I'm almost touching the sky!" + +Ben says, "No, you can't, Anna. I can swing higher than you. Look at me, I'm almost touching the clouds!" + +They swing faster and faster, trying to prove who is better. They don't notice that the swings are getting too close to each other. + +Suddenly, Anna and Ben swing into each other and bump their noses. They both fall off the swings and land on the ground. They feel a lot of pain in their noses and start to cry. + +A nice lady who works at the park hears them and runs to help them. She says, "Oh, you poor things. What happened to you?" + +Anna and Ben tell her that they were swinging and hit their noses. The lady says, "I'm sorry, that must have hurt a lot. But you know, swinging is not a competition. It's supposed to be fun and safe. You should be careful and share the swings with each other. Can you do that?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, we can. We're sorry, we were silly. We don't want to hurt each other. We want to be friends." + +The lady smiles and says, "That's good to hear. Here, let me clean your noses and give you some ice. Then you can go back to playing, but gently and nicely, okay?" + +Anna and Ben say, "Okay, thank you, lady. You are very kind." + +They hug each other and say, "We're sorry, we love you." + +They go back to the swings, but this time they swing slowly and carefully. They also take turns and cheer for each other. They have fun and forget about their sore noses. They learn that swinging is not about winning, but about having fun with friends. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the kitchen. They find a big pan and a small pan. They plan to make a cake. + +"Let's put some flour and sugar in the big pan," Lily says. + +"OK, and some eggs and milk too," Tom says. + +They mix everything with a spoon. The batter is thin and runny. + +"Now we need to bake it in the oven," Lily says. + +She tries to lift the big pan, but it is too heavy. She drops it on the floor. The batter splashes everywhere. + +"Oh no, what a mess!" Tom says. + +They hear Mom coming. They are scared. They hide behind the small pan. + +"Who made this mess in the kitchen?" Mom asks. + +She sees the big pan and the small pan. She sees Lily and Tom. + +"Did you plan to make a cake?" Mom asks. + +Lily and Tom nod. They look sorry. + +Mom smiles. She is not angry. + +"That was a nice plan, but next time, ask me for help," Mom says. + +She hugs them and helps them clean up. + +"Maybe we can make a real cake later," Mom says. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They love Mom and cake. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and a wet nose. + +"Hello, dog!"

"We need to ask the owner first." + +They look around. They see a man sitting on a bench. He has a book and a bag. The bag says "Treats". + +"Excuse me, sir," Max says. He walks to the man. "Is this your dog? Can we pet him?" + +The man looks up. He smiles. He sees Lily and Max. + +"Yes, this is my dog. His name is Rex. He is very friendly. You can pet him if you want. He loves treats, too. Do you want to give him one?" He opens the bag. + +Lily and Max nod. They are happy. They go to Rex. They pet him gently. He wags his tail. He licks their faces. He is a good dog. + +"Here, Rex. Have a treat," the man says. He gives them each a small biscuit. They hold it in their hands. They offer it to Rex. He takes it gently. He crunches it. He wants more. + +"Thank you, sir. Rex is a nice dog. We like him," Lily says. + +"You're welcome, kids. Rex likes you, too. You are very polite and kind. You can come and play with him anytime," the man says. + +Lily and Max smile. They hug Rex. They say goodbye to the man. They go back to their games. They are glad they met Rex. They hope to see him again. +Sara and Tom like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. But they do not like to share. One day, they see a big fly on a flower. Sara wants to catch the fly. She runs to the flower and tries to grab the fly. But the fly is fast and flies away. + +"Let me try!" Tom says. He runs after the fly too. He tries to catch the fly with his hat. But the fly is smart and flies away. + +"Quit it!" Sara says. "The fly is mine!" + +"No, it is mine!" Tom says. "You quit it!" + +They start to fight. They push and pull and yell. They do not see the fly anymore. They do not see the mud puddle either. They fall into the mud puddle and get dirty. They are wet and cold and sad. + +"Look at us!" Sara says. "We are dirty and we have no fly!" + +"Maybe we should share," Tom says. "Then we can have fun and find another fly." + +Sara thinks for a moment. She nods. "OK, let's share," she says. "And let's be friends." + +They hug and smile. They get out of the mud puddle and go to the fountain. They wash their hands and faces. They see a butterfly on a leaf. They run to the butterfly and watch it. They do not try to catch it. They just say hello. The butterfly flaps its wings and flies away. Sara and Tom clap and laugh. They are happy. They have learned to share. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with clay. They made different shapes and animals with the clay and had fun. One day, they saw a new girl in the park. Her name was Mia and she had a lot of clay with her. She was making a big castle with the clay and it looked very nice. + +Lily and Ben wanted to play with Mia and her clay, but they were shy. They did not know how to ask her. They watched her from afar and wished they had more clay. Mia saw them and smiled. She said, "Hi, I'm Mia. Do you want to play with me and my clay? I have a lot of clay and I can share with you." + +Lily and Ben were happy and ran to Mia. They said, "Yes, please. We would love to play with you and your clay. We are Lily and Ben. You are very good at making things with clay." Mia said, "Thank you. You are very nice. Here, you can have some of my clay. Let's make a big castle together." + +They played with the clay and had a lot of fun. They made a big castle with towers and walls and flags. They also made some people and animals to live in the castle. They were very proud of their work and showed it to everyone. Everyone liked their castle and said it was very beautiful. Mia, Lily and Ben became popular and made more friends. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. When you share what you have with others, you can make more friends and have more fun.

They put it in the tub and make waves with their hands. They pretend they are pirates and sailors. They have fun with their ship. + +One day, Tom has an idea. He wants to see how much the ship weighs. He finds a scale in the kitchen and brings it to the tub. He puts the ship on the scale and looks at the number. He says, "The ship weighs four pounds. That is a lot!" + +Mia wants to try too. She takes the ship from the scale and puts it back in the water. She says, "The ship does not weigh four pounds in the water. It floats. That is why it is a ship." + +Tom nods. He says, "You are right. The ship weighs less in the water. That is how it can move. That is cool." + +They play with the ship some more. They make it go fast and slow. They make it turn and stop. They are happy with their ship. They think it is fine. +Sara and Ben like to play in the snow. They make snowballs and snowmen and snow forts. They laugh and have fun. But one day, the snow is gone. The sun is too hot and melts the snow. Sara and Ben are sad. + +They see a big machine in the street. The machine has a hose and a tank. It sprays water on the road. Sara and Ben run to the machine. They ask the man who drives the machine. + +"Can you make snow for us?" Sara says. + +"Sorry, kids, I can't. This is not a snow machine. This is a water machine. I have to clean the road," the man says. + +"But we want to play in the snow. We miss the snow. The snow is fun and icy and white," Ben says. + +The man frowns. He thinks for a moment. Then he smiles. + +"I have an idea. Why don't you follow me to the park? I have something for you there," the man says. + +Sara and Ben are curious. They follow the man and the machine to the park. There they see a big pile of ice. The ice is from the lake. The man used his machine to break the ice and move it to the park. + +"Here you go, kids. This is the best I can do. You can play with the ice. You can make iceballs and icemen and ice forts. You can have fun," the man says. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They thank the man and start to play with the ice. They laugh and have fun. They don't miss the snow anymore. They like the ice. The ice is fun and icy and white. +Anna liked to play with her jewel. It was a shiny red stone that her grandma gave her. She put it on a string and wore it around her neck. She felt very independent with her jewel. She did not need anyone to help her or tell her what to do. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She was about to slide down when she heard a voice. + +"Hey, give me that jewel!" It was a mean boy who was behind her. He reached for her neck and tried to grab her jewel. Anna was scared and angry. She shouted, "No! It's mine! Go away!" + +She slid down the slide as fast as she could.

It's very shiny." +Lily likes to design things. She uses paper, crayons, scissors and glue. She makes cards, hats, masks and dolls. She has a lot of fun with her designs. + +One day, she wants to design a rocket. She thinks rockets are cool and fast. She finds a big cardboard box and some shiny foil. She cuts and glues the box into a rocket shape. She covers it with foil and draws windows and stars. She is very proud of her rocket. + +She wants to fly her rocket to the moon. She asks her dad to help her. He smiles and lifts her rocket. He says it is very heavy. He says weight is how much something is. He says the rocket has a lot of weight. He says weight makes it hard to fly. + +Lily is sad. She wants her rocket to fly. She thinks of a way to make it lighter. She cuts some holes in the box. She says the holes are for air. She says air is light and helps things fly. She asks her dad to try again. + +He lifts her rocket again. He says it is still heavy, but not as much. He says Lily is a good designer. He says she is smart and creative. He says he will help her fly her rocket. He takes her and her rocket outside. He runs and swings the rocket in the air. Lily laughs and pretends she is in space. She says she loves her rocket and her dad. +Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play and watch movies together. One day, they saw a new movie on TV. It was about a big rocket that went to a distant star. Tom and Sue wanted to see the movie very much. + +"Can we watch the movie, Mom?" Tom asked his mom. + +"Sorry, Tom, not today. You have to mind your baby sister. She is sick and needs your help," Mom said. + +"But Mom, we really want to see the movie. It looks so cool and fun," Sue said. + +"I know, Sue, but you can watch it another day. Maybe next week. Right now, you have to be good and mind Tom's baby sister. She is very small and weak," Mom said. + +Tom and Sue were sad. They did not want to mind the baby sister. They wanted to watch the movie. They thought Mom was not fair. They decided to sneak out and go to the movie theater. They left the baby sister alone in the crib. + +They ran to the movie theater. They bought tickets and popcorn. They found seats and watched the movie. The movie was very exciting and loud. They saw the big rocket fly to the distant star. They saw the aliens and the robots. They forgot about the baby sister. + +But the baby sister did not forget them. She woke up and cried. She was hungry and cold. She wanted Tom and Sue. She wanted Mom. But no one came. She cried and cried. She got sicker and sicker. She stopped breathing. + +When Tom and Sue came back, they saw the ambulance and the police. They saw Mom crying and screaming. They saw the baby sister on a stretcher. They knew they did something very bad. They wished they had minded the baby sister. They wished they had not watched the movie. They wished they could go back in time. But it was too late. The baby sister was gone. And so was their happiness. +Lily and Sam like to ride their bikes in the park. They have helmets and bells and bright colors. They go fast and slow and around and around. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big hill. Sam wants to go up the hill.

She says, "Okay, Sam, I will try. Wait for me." She starts to pedal again. She pedals hard and doesn't stop. She makes a funny face too. She says, "Whee!" +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big sack. It is brown and thin. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's make something with the sack," Ben says. "We can be pirates or astronauts or superheroes." + +"OK," Lily says. "But what can we make?" + +Ben thinks hard. He has an idea. He takes the sack and puts it over his head. He makes two holes for his eyes. He looks like a ghost. + +"Boo!" he says. "I am a scary ghost. I will catch you, Lily." + +Lily laughs. She is not afraid of Ben.

The dentist has a big chair and a loud drill that hurts their teeth. They are scared and sad. They do not want to leave their jazz. + +They put on their coats and shoes and follow their mom to the car. They do not say anything. They look at their radio and wish they could stay. As they drive away, they hear a faint sound of jazz from their window. They turn their heads and see their neighbor, Mr. Jones, sitting on his porch. He has a trumpet in his hand and a smile on his face. He is playing jazz. + +Lila and Ben feel a pang in their hearts. They are envious of Mr. Jones. He does not have to go to the dentist. He can play jazz whenever he wants. He looks so happy and free. + +"Mom, can we go back?" Lila whispers to her mom. + +"Me too, me too," Ben whispers. + +Their mom shakes her head. "No, sweeties, we have to go to the dentist. It's good for your teeth. Don't worry, it won't take long. And when we come back, you can listen to jazz again. Maybe Mr. Jones will teach you how to play the trumpet. He likes you, you know." + +Lila and Ben sigh. They do not believe their mom. They think the dentist will take forever. They think Mr. Jones will not share his trumpet. They think they will never listen to jazz again. + +But they are wrong. The dentist is nice and gentle. He gives them stickers and candy. He tells them their teeth are very good. He says they can listen to jazz as much as they want, as long as they brush their teeth every day. + +Lila and Ben smile. They feel happy and free. They thank the dentist and run to the car. They ask their mom to drive fast. They want to go back to their jazz. + +As they arrive at their house, they hear a familiar sound of jazz from their porch.

He tells his mom, "I want to walk to the goal." + +His mom says, "OK, but it is tough. The hill is steep and long. You have to be careful and strong. Do you still want to walk to the goal?" + +Tom nods. He is not afraid. He is excited. He says, "Yes, I want to walk to the goal. I can do it." + +Tom and his mom start to walk to the hill. Tom holds his mom's hand. He walks and walks and walks. He feels his legs get tired. He sees the flag get closer. He says, "I am almost there. I can see the goal." + +He walks and walks and walks. He reaches the top of the hill. He sees the flag. He smiles. He touches the flag. He says, "I did it. I walked to the goal. I am happy." + +His mom hugs him. She says, "You did it. You walked to the goal. You are brave. I am proud of you." + +Tom and his mom walk back to their home. Tom feels good. He says, "I like to walk. I like to have goals.

Maybe they are soft." + +Lily says, "I want to touch it too, but we can't. It is not nice to bother the bird. The bird likes to be free and sing and eat worms." + +Tom says, "Worms? Yuck! I don't like worms. They are slimy and hard." + +Lily says, "But the bird likes worms. They are its food. We like different things. We like bread and cheese and apples." + +Tom says, "You are right, Lily. We like different things. And we have to be kind to the bird. Maybe we can watch it and listen to it. Maybe it will sing for us." + +Lily smiles. She says, "Yes, Tom, let's watch it and listen to it. Maybe it will sing for us. And maybe we will see other birds too. There are many birds in the park. They are all different and beautiful." + +Tom smiles too. He says, "OK, Lily, let's do that. I like birds. They are fun and colorful and noisy." + +Lily and Tom sit on the grass and watch the bird.

The blue blocks are mine!" Sam shouted back. + +They pulled and pushed and grabbed the blocks from each other. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stop fighting and play nicely. They did not see the dark clouds outside, or hear the thunder and the wind. + +Suddenly, a loud boom made them jump. A flash of lightning lit up the sky. The power went out and the room became dark. Sam and Mia dropped their blocks and screamed. They were scared of the storm. They ran to their mom, who hugged them and tried to calm them down. + +But it was too late. The storm was very strong and angry. It broke the windows and the roof. It threw the blocks and the furniture around. It flooded the living room and the kitchen. It ruined their home and their toys.

There were patches of skin on the ground! + +Mary wasn't sure what the skin was, so she asked her mother, "Mommy, where did this skin come from?" + +Her mother explained, "When you have animal friends, it's important to care for them and share with them.

When they reached the top, they both felt a sense of accomplishment and looked out at the beautiful landscape that surrounded them. + +The moral of the story is that it is more important to enjoy the journey of life than it is to race to the top.

The owl replied that he was measuring the tree to see how wide it was. The little bird thought this was a great idea. + +The little bird asked the owl if he could measure him. The owl obliged and measured the little bird's wingspan. It measured very small and the owl said the little bird was much too weak to fly very far. + +The little bird was very sad. The owl then said that even though the little bird was weak, he could still find ways to live a happy life. + +The little bird took this advice to heart and stayed close to the wide tree with the other birds. He found other ways to be happy and remain part of the flock that he loved so much. +Once upon a time, there was a great spot. The spot was perfect for a game of hide and seek. Two children, Sam and Anna, were playing a game. + +"Sam, let’s hide in the spot!", said Anna. + +"No!", Sam disagreed. "Let’s hide elsewhere". + +Anna was not happy. She stomped her foot and said, "But the spot is SO GREAT!". + +"No," he said again. "We don't want to be found so easily." + +Anna thought for a moment, then she said, "But if we hide in the spot, no one will ever find us!" + +Sam thought about this for a moment. "Ok!", he said. "Let's hide in the spot!" + +So, Sam and Anna scurried over to the great spot and hid. They stayed there until the very end of their game.

Timmy was afraid so he gave the monster some food. But it was not enough and the monster was still hungry. + +The monster said, "That's not enough. You will have to give me more food or else I will hurt you." Timmy sadly did not have much food left.

They scream. + +"Fire, fire, fire!" they shout. + +Mom hears them and runs to the kitchen. She sees the fire and turns off the knob. She grabs a towel and covers the pot. The fire goes out. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom asks. She is angry and worried. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We were acting like chefs. We did not know the knob makes fire," Tom says. + +"We were playing, Mom. We did not mean to be wild," Lily says. + +Mom hugs them and calms them down. She explains that the knob is dangerous and they should never touch it. She tells them that fire can hurt them and the house. She says they can play in the kitchen, but only with safe things. + +"OK, Mom. We understand. We will be careful," Tom and Lily say. + +Mom smiles and kisses them. She says she loves them and they are good kids. She asks them if they want to help her make real soup for lunch. + +"Yes, please, Mom. We love soup!" Tom and Lily say. + +They wash their hands and follow Mom to the table. They are happy and hungry. They forget about the fire and the knob. They learn how to act like real chefs. +Sara and Tom were playing in the attic. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find old things. Sara was bossy and told Tom what to do. She said, "You go that way and I go this way. We have to look for treasure." + +Tom did not like Sara's tone. He wanted to have fun, not follow orders. He saw a big box and opened it. Inside, he found a shiny necklace with a blue stone. He was happy and shouted, "Sara, look what I found!" + +Sara ran to Tom and saw the necklace. She wanted it for herself. She said, "Give it to me, Tom. It is mine. I am the leader and you have to listen to me." + +Tom did not want to give it to Sara. He said, "No, Sara. It is mine. I found it first. You are not the leader. You are just bossy." + +Sara and Tom started to fight over the necklace. They pulled and tugged and yelled. They did not hear the noise behind them. It was a big spider that lived in the attic. It was angry that they disturbed its cobweb. It crawled out of the dark corner and moved towards them. + +Sara and Tom realized they were not alone. They turned around and saw the spider. They were scared and screamed. They dropped the necklace and ran out of the attic. They learned their lesson. They decided to share and be nice to each other. They also decided to stay away from the attic and the spider. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the big building where their mom works. Sometimes, mom lets them go in the elevator. The elevator is a box that moves up and down. It has buttons with numbers and pictures. + +One day, mom is busy and tells Lily and Ben to wait in the lobby. The lobby has chairs and tables and plants. Lily and Ben get bored. They see the elevator door open. They run to the elevator. They want to push the buttons. + +"Stop!" mom yells. "Come back here!" + +But Lily and Ben are too fast. They get in the elevator. They push the buttons. The door closes. The elevator starts to move. + +"Uh-oh," Lily says. "Where are we going?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Let's push more buttons." + +They push more buttons. The elevator stops and starts. It goes up and down. It makes noises. Lily and Ben get scared. + +"Mommy!" they cry. "Help us!" + +Mom hears them. She runs to the stairs. She climbs up and down. She looks for the elevator. She finds it on the fifth floor. She pushes the button. The door opens. She sees Lily and Ben. + +"Mommy!" they hug her. "We're sorry!" + +Mom is angry and relieved. She hugs them back. She takes them out of the elevator. + +"That was very naughty," she says. "You could have got hurt. You could have got lost. You have to listen to me." + +Lily and Ben nod. They feel bad. + +"Can we still play in the elevator?" Ben asks. + +"No," mom says. "The elevator is not a toy. It is for people who work here. You have to stay with me." + +"That's not fair," Lily says. + +"Life is not always fair," mom says. "But I love you. And I want you to be safe." + +Lily and Ben understand. They love mom too. They say sorry again. They hold mom's hand. They walk to the lobby. They wait for mom to finish her work. They do not run to the elevator anymore. +Lily liked to look at the calendar on the wall. It had pictures of animals and flowers for each month. She wanted to know what the numbers and words on the calendar meant. She asked her mom to explain. + +Mom said, "The calendar shows us the days and months of the year. Each month has a name, like January or February. Each month has a different number of days, like 31 or 28. The days are marked with numbers, like 1 or 2 or 3. We use the calendar to remember important dates, like birthdays or holidays." + +Lily nodded. She pointed to a date that had a star on it. She asked, "What is this?" + +Mom said, "That is your birthday, Lily. That is the day you were born. It is a special day for you and for us. We celebrate your birthday with a cake and candles and presents and friends." + +Lily smiled. She liked her birthday. She asked, "Are there other special days on the calendar?" + +Mom said, "Yes, there are. Some are popular days that many people celebrate, like Halloween or Christmas. Some are personal days that only you and your family celebrate, like your dad's birthday or your grandma's anniversary. The calendar helps us remember these days and plan for them." + +Lily hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you for explaining the calendar to me, Mom. I like the calendar. It is fun and useful and colorful." +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play at the park. They liked to spin on the round thing, slide on the big slide, and swing on the swings. One day, they saw a new slide at the park. It was very fancy. It had many colors, twists, and bumps. Tom and Sue wanted to try it. + +They ran to the fancy slide and waited for their turn. Tom went first. He climbed up the stairs and sat on the top. He looked down and saw how high and long the slide was. He felt scared, but he wanted to be brave. He pushed himself and slid down. He went very fast and felt the wind in his hair. He spun around the twists and bounced on the bumps. He screamed and laughed. He had fun. + +Sue saw Tom having fun and wanted to go too. She climbed up the stairs and sat on the top. She looked down and saw how high and long the slide was. She felt excited, but she did not see the sign. The sign said, "Only one person at a time." She did not wait for Tom to get off. She pushed herself and slid down. She went very fast and felt the wind in her hair. She spun around the twists and bounced on the bumps. She screamed and laughed. She did not have fun. + +She crashed into Tom at the bottom of the slide. They both fell off and hit the ground. They both got hurt. They both cried. They both had boo-boos. The park lady came and helped them. She put band-aids on their boo-boos and gave them ice-cream. She told them to be careful and follow the rules. She told them to share and take turns. Tom and Sue said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They did not like the fancy slide anymore. They liked the round thing, the big slide, and the swings better. They went back to play with them. They were still friends. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big mountain. They want to go to the mountain. + +"Let's go to the mountain!" Anna says. + +"OK, let's go!" Ben says. + +They walk and walk. They see trees and flowers and birds. They are happy. But the mountain is very far. They get tired and hungry. + +"I want to go back," Ben says. + +"No, we have to go to the mountain," Anna says. + +They start to argue. They are not happy. They are loud. + +A bird hears them. The bird flies to them. The bird is calm. The bird says, "Why are you arguing? The mountain is not going anywhere. You can go another day. You should be nice to each other. You are friends." + +Anna and Ben stop arguing. They look at the bird. They look at each other. They feel sorry. + +"You are right, bird. We are friends. We should be nice to each other," Anna says. + +"Yes, we are friends. We should be nice to each other," Ben says. + +They hug and say sorry. They thank the bird. They go back home. They are happy. They are calm. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Lily has a new purple crayon. She wants to show Max her purple crayon. + +"Look, Max, I have a purple crayon!" Lily says. "It is my favorite color. Do you like purple?" + +Max nods. He likes purple too. He has a purple shirt and a purple ball. He wants to draw with Lily's purple crayon. + +"Can I use your purple crayon, Lily?" Max asks. "Please?" + +Lily thinks. She likes to share, but she also likes her purple crayon. She has an idea. + +"OK, Max, you can use my purple crayon, but you have to do a task for me," Lily says. "You have to send me a picture of a purple flower. Can you do that?" + +Max smiles. He likes to draw flowers. He thinks he can do the task. + +"OK, Lily, I can do that," Max says. "Thank you for letting me use your purple crayon." + +Lily gives Max her purple crayon. Max takes a piece of paper and starts to draw. He draws a big purple circle for the flower and some green lines for the stem and the leaves. He is happy with his picture. He shows it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily, I did the task. I drew a purple flower for you. Do you like it?" Max says. + +Lily looks at the picture. She likes it very much. It is a beautiful purple flower. She is proud of Max. + +"I like it, Max. It is a very nice purple flower. You did a good job. Thank you for sending me the picture," Lily says. + +Lily and Max hug. They are happy. They share the purple crayon and draw more pictures together. They are good friends. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find bugs. Lily saw a shiny thing in the dirt. She picked it up and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, what is this?" she asked. + +Tom looked at the shiny thing. It was a lighter. He had seen his dad use it to make fire. + +"It is a fire thing. You can make fire with it. Let me try," he said. + +He took the lighter from Lily and pressed the button. A small flame came out. Tom was happy. He liked fire. He wanted to bring it to his dad and show him. + +"Look, Lily, I made fire! Let's bring it to dad. He will be happy too," he said. + +He ran towards the house, holding the lighter. Lily followed him. She was curious. + +But Tom did not see the dry grass on the way. He dropped the lighter by accident. The fire jumped from the lighter to the grass. The grass burned quickly. The fire grew bigger and bigger. It reached the house. + +Tom and Lily saw the fire. They were scared. They screamed for their dad. + +"Dad, dad, help! There is fire! There is fire!" they cried. + +But their dad did not hear them. He was inside the house. He did not know there was fire. He could not help them. + +The fire burned the house. It burned everything. Tom and Lily were very sad. They lost their dad. They lost their home. They lost their fire thing. They wished they never found it. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the park with Mom. Mom says, "You can play on the swings, or you can walk on the trail. But stay where I can see you." + +Lily and Ben choose the trail. They want to see the trees and the flowers and the bugs. They hold hands and walk on the dirt. They look at everything. They see a big rock, a yellow bird, a red ladybug, and a shiny spider web. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Lily says. "The spider web is so pretty. It is like a rainbow." + +Ben looks at the spider web. He sees the sun make it sparkle. He says, "Wow, Lily, wow! The spider web is so flexible. It can bend and stretch and not break." + +Lily and Ben get closer to the spider web. They want to touch it. But then they hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "Lily, Ben, come back. It is time to go home." + +Lily and Ben turn around. They see Mom waving at them. They say, "Bye, spider web. Bye, trail. We will come back soon." They run to Mom and hug her. They are happy. They had fun on the trail. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Sometimes they found worms and snails and beetles. They put them in a jar and watched them crawl. + +One day, they saw a big orange thing sticking out of the dirt. Lily pulled it out and saw that it was a carrot. She was very happy. She loved carrots. They were crunchy and sweet and good for her eyes. + +"Look, Tom, I found a carrot!" she said. "Let's share it!" + +Tom looked at the carrot and felt confused. He did not like carrots. He thought they were hard and bitter and made his mouth dry. + +"No, thank you, Lily," he said. "You can have it. I don't want it." + +Lily was surprised. She thought everyone liked carrots. She wanted to share with Tom, because he was her friend. She did not want him to feel left out. + +"Are you sure, Tom?" she asked. "Carrots are yummy. And they are good for you. They make you strong and healthy." + +Tom shook his head. He did not want to try the carrot. He wanted to play with his toy truck. He picked it up and ran to the other side of the garden. + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to play with Tom, too. She followed him with the carrot in her hand. She tried to catch up with him, but he was too fast. She tripped over a rock and fell to the ground. The carrot flew out of her hand and landed in front of Tom. + +Tom stopped and saw Lily on the ground. He saw that she was hurt. She had scraped her knee and elbow. She was crying. He felt sorry for her. He ran to her and helped her up. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" he asked. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you fall." + +Lily sniffed and wiped her tears. She looked at Tom and smiled. She was glad that he cared for her. + +"I'm okay, Tom," she said. "Thank you. You are a good friend." + +Tom smiled back. He saw the carrot on the ground. He picked it up and gave it to Lily. + +"Here, Lily," he said. "This is your carrot. You can have it. I'm sorry I didn't want to share with you. I know you like carrots. Maybe I can try a bite. Maybe I will like them, too." + +Lily was happy. She hugged Tom and thanked him. She broke the carrot in half and gave one piece to Tom. They both took a bite and chewed. Lily liked the carrot. She thought it was delicious. Tom liked the carrot, too. He thought it was not so bad. He felt a new taste in his mouth. He felt a new feeling in his heart. + +They both learned something that day. They learned that sharing is caring. They learned that trying new things can be fun. They learned that friendship is more important than anything. They learned that carrots are not so bad after all. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Lily wanted to go first, but Tom insisted that he should go first. He said he was older and bigger than Lily. + +"No, I want to go first!" Lily said. "You always go first!" + +"No, I insist!" Tom said. "You are too small and slow!" + +They started to push and pull each other. They did not see the judge who was walking by. The judge was a man who worked in the court. He wore a black robe and a white wig. He did not like children who fought. + +"Stop that, you naughty children!" the judge said. "You are making a lot of noise and trouble!" + +He grabbed Lily and Tom by their arms and dragged them to a bench. He made them sit down and be quiet. He said he would decide who would go first on the slide. + +The judge looked at Lily and Tom. He saw that they were both wet. They had splashed in a puddle before they came to the slide. He did not like wet children. He thought they were dirty and messy. + +"You are both wet!" the judge said. "You are not fit to go on the slide! You will make it wet and slippery for the other children!" + +He said they had to go home and change their clothes. He said they could not play in the park anymore. He said they were bad children who did not deserve to have fun. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They did not want to go home. They wanted to go on the slide. They did not think the judge was fair. They thought he was mean and bossy. + +But they had no choice. The judge was bigger and stronger than them. He made them get up and walk away. He did not let them say anything. He did not care about their feelings. + +Lily and Tom left the park. They did not look at each other. They did not talk to each other. They did not play with each other. They had a bad ending. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to dig in the dirt and look for worms. She liked to put the worms in a jar and watch them wiggle. She did not like to share her worms with anyone. + +One day, Lily found a big, fat worm. She was very happy. She put the worm in her jar and ran to show her mom. But on the way, she saw her brother Tom. Tom was older and bossy. He liked to take Lily's things and make fun of her. + +"Hey, what do you have there?" Tom asked. He grabbed the jar from Lily's hand. He saw the worm and made a face. "Ew, that's gross! Why do you like worms? They are slimy and ugly. You are a silly girl." + +Lily was angry and sad. She wanted her worm back. She tried to get the jar from Tom, but he was too strong. He pushed her away and laughed. "No, this is my worm now. I will do what I want with it. Maybe I will feed it to the birds. Or maybe I will cut it in half. Or maybe I will lock it in a box and never let it out." + +Lily cried. She did not like Tom. He was mean and cruel. She ran to her mom and told her what Tom did. Her mom was not happy. She went to Tom and scolded him. She took the jar from him and gave it back to Lily. She told Tom to say sorry and to be nice to his sister. She told Lily to be careful with her worms and to not hurt them. + +Lily hugged her mom and thanked her. She looked at her worm and smiled. She was glad it was safe. She decided to let it go in the garden. She thought the worm would be happier there. She said goodbye to the worm and watched it burrow in the dirt. She hoped it would find some friends. She went to play with her other toys and forgot about Tom. She was happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would stop and look at the birds and the flowers. + +One day, they saw a big truck on the road. It was making a loud noise and had a lot of smoke coming out of it. The smoke was black and smelled bad. Ben and Lily did not like the smoke. They covered their noses and blinked their eyes. + +"Where is the truck going?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it is going to the gas station. The truck needs gas to go." + +"What is gas?" Lily asked. + +"Gas is something that makes the truck go," Ben said. "It is like food for the truck. But we don't eat gas. Gas is not good for us." + +"Oh," Lily said. "I like food. I like apples and cheese and cookies. Do you like food, Ben?" + +"Yes, I like food," Ben said. "But I don't like smoke. Let's go away from the smoke. Let's go to the swings. The swings are fun." + +"OK," Lily said. "Let's go to the swings. Maybe we can see some nice birds and flowers there." + +They took their ball and ran to the swings. They forgot about the truck and the smoke. They had fun on the swings and laughed and smiled. They liked the park. The park was nice. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the woods behind their house. They made a trail with sticks and stones to mark their way. They saw many animals and plants, and sometimes they heard strange noises. + +One day, they found a big tree with a hole in it. Ben wanted to look inside, but Mia was scared. + +"Maybe there is a monster in there," she said. + +"Don't be silly," Ben said. "There is no such thing as monsters. Come on, let's twist our heads and see what's inside." + +He twisted his head and peeked into the hole. He saw something shiny and round. He reached his hand to grab it, but then he heard a loud hiss. + +"Ouch!" he cried. "Something bit me!" + +He pulled his hand out and saw a snake wrapped around his wrist. It had red and black stripes and a yellow tail. It looked very angry. + +"Help!" he shouted. "Mia, help me!" + +Mia was very brave. She picked up a stick and hit the snake hard. The snake let go of Ben's hand and slithered back into the hole. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Mia asked. + +Ben looked at his hand. It was bleeding and swollen. It hurt a lot. + +"I think we should go home," he said. "Mom will know what to do." + +They ran back along the trail, holding hands. They hoped they would never see that snake again. It was a mighty snake, but they were mightier. +Anna likes to jog with her dad. They jog in the park every morning. They see birds, flowers and dogs. Anna likes to say hello to the dogs. She thinks they are cute and friendly. + +One day, they meet a new dog. It is big and black. It has a red collar. It barks at Anna and her dad. Anna is scared. She holds her dad's hand. Her dad says, "Don't worry, Anna. He is just saying hello. He is a good dog. His name is Max." + +Anna and her dad jog closer to the dog. The dog stops barking. He wags his tail. He licks Anna's face. Anna giggles. She says, "Hello, Max. You are a nice dog. Do you want to jog with us?" + +The dog's owner comes. He is a man with a hat. He says, "Sorry, he is very quick. He likes to run and play. He is a tidy dog. He does not make a mess. He is my best friend. His name is Max." + +Anna and her dad say hello to the man. They say they like Max. They ask if they can jog with them. The man says yes. They jog together in the park. They have fun. Anna and Max become friends. Anna is not scared anymore. She likes to jog with her dad and Max. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a man with a camera. He is taking photos of the flowers and the birds. + +"Look, Ben, he has a camera!" Sara says. "I want to see the photos." + +"Me too," Ben says. "Let's go and ask him." + +They run to the man and say hello. The man smiles and says hello back. + +"Can we see your photos?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, you can," the man says. "I have a camera that shows the photos on a screen. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say. + +The man shows them the screen. They see many photos of the park. They see yellow flowers, red flowers, blue flowers. They see a bird with a long tail, a bird with a short tail, a bird with a big beak. They see a squirrel, a dog, a cat. + +"Wow, these are pretty photos," Sara says. + +"Yes, they are," the man says. "You have a good eye, Sara. Do you like to look at things?" + +"Yes, I do," Sara says. "I like to look at everything." + +"Me too," Ben says. "I like to look at you, Sara. You are attractive." + +Sara blushes and smiles. The man laughs and says, "You are sweet, Ben. Do you want to take a photo with Sara?" + +"Yes, please," Ben says. + +The man takes out another camera. He says, "This is a camera that prints the photos. Do you want to have a photo?" + +"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say. + +The man tells them to stand together and smile. He takes a photo of them. He gives them the photo. They see themselves on the photo. They are smiling and holding hands. + +"Thank you, mister," Sara and Ben say. + +"You are welcome, kids," the man says. "You are very nice and friendly. Have fun in the park." + +Sara and Ben say goodbye to the man. They run to the swings. They look at the photo. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Dance show today. Come and watch." + +Lily and Max want to see the dance show. They run to the stage. They see many people. They see dancers in pretty clothes. They hear music. + +The dancers start to dance. They move fast and slow. They jump and spin. They make shapes with their arms and legs. Lily and Max clap their hands. They like the dance show. + +One dancer makes a big circle with his arms. He says: "This is zero. Zero is nothing. Zero is empty. Can you make zero?" + +Lily and Max nod their heads. They make zero with their arms. They say: "Zero, zero, zero." + +The dancer smiles. He says: "Good job. You are smart. Do you want to dance with us?" + +Lily and Max nod their heads again. They are happy. They go to the stage. They dance with the dancers. They have fun. + +The dance show ends. The dancers give Lily and Max a hug. They give them a sweet. The sweet is yummy. Lily and Max say: "Thank you. We love the dance show. You are nice." + +The dancers say: "You are welcome. You are good dancers. You are sweet." +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play with their toys in the living room. But they did not like to share. They always fought over who got the best toy. + +One day, their mom brought home a new baby. She said, "This is your little brother, Sam. He is an infant. He is very small and needs a lot of love and care. You have to be gentle and kind to him." + +Lily and Tom were curious. They wanted to see the infant. But they also wanted to play with their toys. They did not listen to their mom. They ran to the crib and grabbed the infant's blanket, hat, and pacifier. They said, "These are our toys now. We want to play with them." + +They pulled and tugged at the infant's things. They made him cry. They did not care. They were having fun. They ran around the living room and scattered the infant's things everywhere. They threw them on the floor, on the couch, and on the table. + +Their mom heard the noise and the crying. She was very angry. She came to the living room and saw the mess. She said, "Lily and Tom, what have you done? You are very naughty and selfish. You have hurt your little brother and made a big mess. You are not playing with your toys. You are playing with his things. They are not toys. They are important for him. He needs them to be warm and comfortable and happy. You have to give them back to him right now. And you have to say sorry to him. And you have to help me clean up this mess. Or you will have no toys at all." + +Lily and Tom realized they had been very stupid. They felt sorry for their little brother. They said, "We are sorry, Sam. We are sorry, mom. We will give back his things. We will help you clean up. We will be gentle and kind to him. We will share our toys with him. We love him." + +Their mom smiled. She said, "That's good. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Sharing is caring. And caring is loving. And loving is what makes a family happy." + +The end. +Lily loved to grow tomatoes in her garden. She watered them every day and sang to them. She was very proud of her red and juicy tomatoes. She wanted to share them with her friends. + +One day, she picked some tomatoes and put them in a basket. She walked to the park where her friends were playing. She saw Ben, Mia and Sam on the swings. She waved to them and said, "Look, I have tomatoes for you!" + +Her friends were happy to see her and her tomatoes. They ran to her and took some from the basket. They thanked her and said, "You are very kind, Lily. Your tomatoes are delicious!" + +But then, they saw a big dog coming towards them. The dog was barking and growling. It looked dangerous. It wanted to eat the tomatoes and maybe the children too. The children were scared and did not know what to do. + +Lily had an idea. She said, "Don't be afraid. We can scare the dog away. Let's throw the tomatoes at the dog and make loud noises. Then the dog will run away." + +The children agreed and did what Lily said. They threw the tomatoes at the dog and shouted, "Go away, dog! Go away!" The dog was surprised and afraid. It did not like the tomatoes and the noises. It turned around and ran away. + +The children were happy and relieved. They hugged each other and said, "We did it! We are brave and smart!" They looked at Lily and said, "You are our hero, Lily. You saved us from the dog. You are the best!" + +They all applauded Lily and cheered for her. Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, friends. I'm glad you are safe. But I'm sorry we wasted the tomatoes. They were for you." + +Her friends said, "Don't be sorry, Lily. The tomatoes were not wasted. They helped us to get rid of the dog. They were more than food. They were weapons!" + +They all laughed and said, "You are right, Lily. The tomatoes were weapons. But they were also gifts. Gifts of love and friendship. We love you, Lily. And we love your tomatoes!" + +The moral of the story is: Be generous and share what you have with others. Be brave and use what you have to face problems. Be grateful and appreciate what you have and what others give you. +Anna and Ben are camping with Mom and Dad. They have a big tent with two beds and a lamp. Anna likes the tent. It is cozy and warm. Ben likes the lamp. It is bright and shiny. + +One night, Anna and Ben hear a noise outside the tent. It sounds like a growl. Anna is scared. She hugs her teddy bear. Ben is curious. He wants to see what it is. + +"Ben, don't go!" Anna whispers. "It might be a big bad animal!" + +Ben does not listen. He zips the tent and peeks out. He sees a shadow moving in the dark. He grabs the lamp and shines it at the shadow. He gasps. + +"Anna, look!" he says. "It is a dog!" + +Anna looks out too. She sees a dog with brown fur and a wagging tail. It is not a big bad animal. It is a friendly dog. The dog sees the lamp and barks. It runs towards the tent. + +"Hi, dog!" Ben says. He puts the lamp down and opens the tent. He pets the dog. The dog licks his face. Anna smiles. She comes out and pets the dog too. The dog wags its tail. + +"Where did you come from, dog?" Anna asks. "Do you have a home?" + +The dog barks again. It looks at the lamp. It likes the lamp. It picks up the lamp with its mouth and runs away. + +"Hey, come back!" Ben shouts. He chases the dog. Anna chases Ben. Mom and Dad wake up. + +"What is going on?" Mom asks. She sees Ben and Anna running after the dog with the lamp. + +"They are playing with a dog," Dad says. He laughs. He gets out of the tent and joins them. + +The dog is fast. It runs to the lake. It drops the lamp in the water. The lamp goes out. The dog jumps in the water. It splashes and swims. + +"Oops, there goes the lamp," Ben says. He is sad. He liked the lamp. + +"Maybe we can get another one," Anna says. She is not sad. She liked the dog. + +"Maybe we can get another dog," Ben says. He smiles.

Lily wanted to play with the cat and the bell. She ran towards the cat with her ball in her mouth. + +The cat did not want to play with Lily. The cat was scared of the big dog. The cat hissed and scratched at Lily. Lily felt a sharp pain in her ear. She dropped the ball and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily said. "Why did you hurt me? I just wanted to play!" + +The cat said, "Go away, dog! You are too loud and too rough. You scared me with your ball. This is my bell, not yours. Leave me alone!" + +Lily was sad and angry. She wanted to bite the cat and take the bell. But then she remembered what her mom had taught her. She said, "I'm sorry, cat. I didn't mean to scare you. I should have asked you first. Can we be friends?" + +The cat was surprised. He saw that Lily was not a bad dog. He said, "I'm sorry, too, dog. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was afraid of you. Maybe we can be friends. But please, don't chase me or try to take my bell. Can you release your ball and play with something else?" + +Lily nodded. She released her ball and found a stick. She said, "OK, cat. I will play with the stick. You can keep your bell. Maybe we can share sometimes." + +The cat smiled. He said, "OK, dog. I will play with the bell. You can keep your stick. Maybe we can share sometimes." + +Lily and the cat became friends. They learned to respect each other and their things. They had fun playing in the garden. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind and polite to others, even if they are different from you. Don't take what is not yours without asking. Share and play nicely. You can make new friends. +Anna likes to write. She has a big book and a red pen. She writes her name, her age, and her favorite things.

Here, have a band-aid," her mom says. + +She puts a band-aid on Anna's hand. She kisses it. She gives Anna her pen back. + +"Thank you, mom. I love you," Anna says. + +"I love you too, Anna. Do you want to go home now?" her mom says. + +"No, mom. I want to write more. But not about squirrels. They are bad," Anna says. + +"Okay, Anna. You can write more. But stay close to me. And be careful of squirrels. They are not bad. They are just hungry and curious," her mom says. + +Anna nods. She writes more on her book. She writes about her mom, her hand, and her band-aid. She is happy. She likes to write. +Jill and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big bush with red berries in their neighbor's yard.

"Mom will punish us if she finds out. And the neighbor might be angry too." + +Tom did not listen to Jill. He was nosy and hungry. He ran to the bush and picked some berries. He put one in his mouth and smiled. "Mmm, they are sweet. Come on, Jill, don't be scared." + +Jill was scared, but she did not want to be left alone. She followed Tom and picked some berries too. She ate one and liked it. She forgot about mom and the neighbor. + +But the neighbor did not forget. He saw the twins eating his berries from his window. He was not happy. He came out of his house and shouted at them. "Hey, you little thieves! Get away from my bush! Those are my berries!" + +The twins were startled and dropped the berries. They ran back to their yard, but it was too late. The neighbor had seen their faces and knew where they lived. He knocked on their door and told their mom what they had done. + +Mom was very angry.

The sun was shining on it. Ben touched the truck and said "Ow!" He pulled his hand away. It hurt. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked. She was worried. + +"I'm okay," Ben said. He rubbed his hand. "But the truck is hot. We should not touch it." + +Lily nodded. She remembered what her mom had told her. "Mom said hot things can burn us. We have to be careful." + +"Yes, you are right," Ben said. He was honest. He did not lie. He learned his lesson. + +They went back to the park. They played some more. They stayed away from the hot truck. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Sam were at the beach with their mom. They liked to play in the sand and look at the sea. The sea was big and blue and made a loud sound. + +"Look, Lily, I made a castle!" Sam said, showing his sister his sand creation. + +"Wow, Sam, that's very good!" Lily said.

Sam said, sobbing. + +"Look, Sam, I have an idea," Lily said. She dumped her bucket of sand on the ground and made a new castle. She added some shells and seaweed to decorate it. "See, Sam, we can make a new castle together. It's even better than the old one!" + +Sam looked at the new castle and smiled. He wiped his tears and hugged his sister. + +"Thank you, Lily, you are very nice too!" Sam said. He took the shovel and helped his sister make the new castle bigger and stronger. + +Mom watched them from a distance and smiled. She was proud of her children. They were kind and creative.

She picked up the necklace and put it in her mouth. She started to chew on it. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Max asked. He saw Lily chewing on the necklace. He knew it was not a toy. He knew Mom would be angry. + +"I'm a lion. Lions chew on bones," Lily said. She did not want to give up the necklace. She thought it was tasty. + +"No, Lily, that's not a bone. That's Mom's necklace. You are being careless. You will break it. And Mom will be sad. Give it to me," Max said. He tried to take the necklace from Lily's mouth. + +But Lily did not listen.

We made you some yummy food!" Anna says. She puts the small dish on the coffee table. "This is cheese and bread. You can share it." + +"Hello, friends! We made you some yummy food too!" Tom says. He tries to put the large dish on the coffee table, but it is too big. He loses his balance and drops the dish. The pasta and sauce spill all over the carpet and the toys. Tom and Anna gasp. + +"Oh no! We made a big mess!" Tom says. He feels sad and sorry. He looks at the toys. They are covered in pasta and sauce. He thinks they are angry. + +"I'm sorry, friends!

She walked around the trees and the swings, but he was not there. She started to feel scared. Where was Ben? + +She heard a noise behind a bush. She thought it was Ben. She ran to the bush and pulled the branches apart. But it was not Ben. It was a big dog. The dog was angry and barked at Sara. Sara screamed and let go of the bush. The dog jumped at her and bit her arm. Sara cried and tried to run away, but the dog was faster. The dog chased her and bit her again and again. + +Ben heard Sara's screams and came out of his hiding spot. He saw the dog attacking Sara. He wanted to help her, but he was too afraid. He ran to the other side of the park and hid behind a bench. He hoped the dog would go away. He hoped Sara would be okay. He hoped someone would come and save them. + +But no one came. The park was empty and quiet. The only noise was Sara's cries and the dog's growls. Ben felt very bad and very alone. He wished he had not played hide and seek. He wished he had stayed with Sara. He wished he could disappear. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Ben found a big onion and decided to use it for his soup. He cut it with a plastic knife and put it in a pot with some water. + +"Look, Lily, I made onion soup!" he said proudly. + +Lily came over and smelled the pot. She made a face and said, "Yuck, onion soup is stinky. I don't like it." + +Ben felt sad. He wanted Lily to like his soup. He thought of a way to make it better. He said, "But onion soup is magic. If you drink it, you can vanish!" + +Lily looked curious. She liked magic. She said, "Really? How do you vanish?" + +Ben said, "You just close your eyes and say 'poof' and then you are gone. No one can see you or hear you. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nodded. She wanted to try. She took a spoon and dipped it in the pot. She brought it to her mouth and tasted the onion soup. She made another face and said, "Blech, onion soup is gross. But I want to vanish." + +She closed her eyes and said, "Poof!" + +Ben saw his chance. He grabbed a towel and threw it over Lily. He said, "Wow, Lily, you vanished! You are so good at magic!" + +Lily opened her eyes and felt the towel on her. She said, "Hey, Ben, that's not fair. You tricked me. I didn't vanish. You just covered me with a towel." + +Ben laughed and said, "Sorry, Lily, I was just joking. You are still here. And you are still my friend." + +Lily smiled and said, "That's okay, Ben, I was just joking too. I don't really hate onion soup. I just wanted to see what you would do." + +They hugged and said, "We are both normal and silly. And we both like to play." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the snow.

She lifts her arm and makes a fist too. She thinks she has a bigger muscle. + +"No, Ben, look at my muscle," Mia says. "It is bigger than yours." + +Ben and Mia compare their muscles. They giggle and poke each other. + +Then they hear their mom calling them. + +"Ben, Mia, time to go home," mom says. "You need to eat something. Your tummies are empty." + +Ben and Mia run to their mom. They hug her and say bye to their friends. + +"Mom, look at our muscles," Ben says. "We are strong." + +"Mom, look at my muscle," Mia says.

They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there are many old things. They see a broken robot, a torn book, a cracked cup, and a dirty hat. + +"Wow, look at these things!" Lily says. "Can we play with them?" + +"Sure, but they are all broken or bad," Ben says. "We need to fix them first." + +They take out the things and put them on the floor. They try to fix them with tape, glue, scissors, and paint. They work hard and have fun. + +"Look, I fixed the robot!" Ben says. He pushes a button and the robot makes a beep sound. "His name is Robo. He is incredible!" + +"Good job, Ben!" Lily says. She holds up the book. "I fixed the book. It has many pictures and words. Its name is Story. It is incredible!" + +They show each other their fixed things.

She always hugged him and played with him and told him stories. But one day, she was careless and left him outside in the garden when she went to have lunch. + +When she came back, she saw a dog running away with her bear in his mouth. She cried and ran after the dog, but he was too fast and soon disappeared. Lily was very sad and angry. She wished she had not been careless. + +She told her mom what happened and her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That was a bad dog. Maybe we can find your bear later. Or maybe we can get you a new bear. But you have to be careful with your toys and not leave them outside." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I will be careful next time. I hope my bear is okay. I miss him a lot." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I know, honey. I miss him too. He was a good bear. Maybe he will come back to you someday. But for now, let's have some cookies and milk and read a book together. That will make you feel better." + +Lily smiled and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you." + +She hugged her mom and they went inside. Lily still felt sad, but she also felt loved. She hoped her bear was safe and happy somewhere. She hoped he would remember her and her stories. She hoped they would meet again. +Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. It was a nice day. The sun was warm and the flowers were pretty. + +But there was something that was not nice. It was a mosquito. The mosquito liked to buzz and bite. It flew around Lila and Tom and made them itch. + +"Go away, mosquito!" Lila said. "You are not nice. You are mean." + +But the mosquito did not go away. It landed on Tom's arm and bit him. Tom felt a sting and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom said. "Mosquito, you hurt me!" + +Lila saw Tom's arm. It had a red bump. She felt sorry for Tom. She wanted to help him. + +She looked around and saw a leaf. She picked it up and ran to Tom. + +"Here, Tom," Lila said. "Put this leaf on your bump. It will make it feel better." + +Tom took the leaf and put it on his arm. He smiled at Lila. + +"Thank you, Lila," Tom said. "You are nice. You are my friend." + +Lila smiled back at Tom. She was happy to help him. + +They hugged and went back to playing. They hoped the mosquito would not come back. + +But the mosquito did come back. It flew to Lila's ear and buzzed. It wanted to bite her too. + +Lila felt the mosquito and got angry. She did not want to itch like Tom. She did not want to cry like Tom. + +She moved her hand and slapped the mosquito. She slapped it hard. She slapped it away. + +"Take that, mosquito!" Lila said. "You are not nice. You are bad." + +The mosquito fell to the ground. It did not buzz or bite anymore. It was gone. + +Lila and Tom cheered. They were happy. They had no more mosquito. + +They hugged and went back to playing. They had a nice day. The end. +Sara and Ben wanted to see the big animals at the zoo. They asked their mom if they could go on a tour with the nice lady who knew all about them.

Sara and Ben liked the monkeys best. They made funny noises and faces. The nice lady said they could feed them some nuts, but they had to ask first.

Sara and Ben threw them some nuts and laughed when the monkeys ate them. + +Then the nice lady took them to see the lions, the tigers, the bears and the elephants. Sara and Ben were a little scared of them. They were very big and loud. The nice lady said they were harmless if they stayed behind the fence.

I have a stomach ache. Can you help me, Doctor Tom?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, I can help you, Princess Mia. Let me measure your stomach. It will not hurt." He puts the ruler on Mia's stomach and writes something on the clipboard. He says, "Your stomach is 20 centimeters long. That is very good. But why does it hurt?" + +Mia thinks for a moment and says, "Maybe because I ate too much cake. It was so yummy. It was chocolate cake with pink frosting. It was my original cake. Mommy made it for me." + +Tom says, "Oh, I see. That is why your stomach hurts. You ate too much cake. You should eat less cake and more fruits and vegetables. They are good for you. They make you healthy and strong." + +Mia says, "You are right, Doctor Tom. I will eat less cake and more fruits and vegetables. Thank you for helping me. You are a very good doctor." + +Tom says, "You are welcome, Princess Mia. You are a very brave patient. Now let us play something else.

You have to fix your car and say sorry to me." + +Tom was sad and he said, "Sorry, Lily, you are the queen and I am your servant.
