+One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They ran to the tree and started to climb. Lily went first. She was brave and fast. She climbed to the top of the tree and looked around. She saw the birds, the clouds and the other kids. She felt happy.
+
+Ben followed Lily. He was not so brave and fast. He climbed slowly and carefully. He was afraid of falling. He looked down and saw how far he was from the ground. He felt worried.
+
+"Lily, come down!" Ben called. "It's too high!"
+
+"No, Ben, stay up!" Lily insisted. "It's fun!"
+
+Ben did not think it was fun. He wanted to go down. But he did not want to make Lily sad. He tried to climb higher. But he slipped and lost his grip. He screamed and hung from a branch.
+
+Lily heard Ben scream. She looked down and saw him hanging. She was scared. She climbed down quickly and helped Ben. She hugged him and said sorry.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben nodded. He was okay. But he was still worried.
+
+"Let's go play something else," Ben said.
+
+Lily agreed. They went to play something else. They did not climb the tree again. They played with their mom. They had fun.
+One day, Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to play with the mirror best. The mirror was big and shiny, and they could see themselves in it.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make a funny face!" Ben said, and he stuck out his tongue and crossed his eyes. Lily laughed and copied him.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can make a funny nose!" Lily said, and she pinched her nose and made a squeaky sound. Ben giggled and copied her.
+
+They took turns making funny faces and noises, and the mirror showed them how silly they looked. They had so much fun, they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch.
+
+"Come on, kids, it's time to eat!" Mom said, and she opened the door. She saw Lily and Ben in front of the mirror, and smiled. "What are you doing?"
+
+"We are playing with the mirror, Mom!" Lily and Ben said together.
+
+"That's nice, but you have to be careful. The mirror can break, and then you will have no mirror to play with." Mom said.
+
+"We will be careful, Mom. We promise." Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom nodded and left them to finish their game. But as soon as she was gone, Lily and Ben had a new idea.
+
+"Let's split the mirror, Lily!" Ben said.
+
+"What do you mean, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"Let's move the mirror, so we can see half of our faces. Then we will look even funnier!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, let's try it!" Lily said.
+
+They pushed the mirror from one side, and then from the other. They saw half of their faces, and they laughed harder.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have one eye and one ear!" Ben said.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have one mouth and one cheek!" Lily said.
+
+They pushed the mirror more and more, until it was almost falling off the wall. They did not notice the crack that was forming in the middle of the mirror.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have no nose!" Ben said.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have no chin!" Lily said.
+
+They pushed the mirror one last time, and then they heard a loud sound. The mirror split in two, and fell to the floor. The pieces were sharp and shiny, and they cut their feet.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily and Ben cried.
+
+Mom heard the noise and ran to their room. She saw the broken mirror and the blood on the floor. She was very angry and very scared.
+
+"What have you done, Lily and Ben? You broke the mirror, and you hurt yourselves! How could you be so careless?" Mom said.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom. We were playing with the mirror, and we wanted to split it. We did not mean to break it, or to cut ourselves. We were having fun, Mom." Lily and Ben said.
+
+"Fun? That was not fun, that was dangerous. You could have hurt yourselves badly, or even worse. You know the mirror is not a toy, and you should not touch it. You have to be more careful, and listen to me. Now come with me, I have to clean your wounds and put some bandages on them." Mom said.
+
+She took Lily and Ben to the bathroom, and washed their feet. She put some cream and some bandages on them, and gave them a hug.
+
+"I love you, Lily and Ben, but you have to be more responsible. Next time, play with something else, OK?" Mom said.
+
+"OK, Mom. We love you too. We are sorry, Mom." Lily and Ben said.
+
+They learned their lesson, and they never played with the mirror again. They found other toys to have fun with, and they always listened to Mom.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. One day, they see a big trophy on a table. The trophy is shiny and has a star on top.
+
+"Wow, look at that trophy!" Tom says. "It is so pretty. I want to touch it."
+
+"Me too," Mia says. "But maybe it is not for us. Maybe someone else won it."
+
+They go closer to the table. They see a sign that says: "Dangerous! Do not touch! This trophy is for the best soccer team in the city."
+
+Tom and Mia do not know what "dangerous" means. They think it means "fun". They want to have fun with the trophy.
+
+They reach for the trophy. But they do not see the wire that is attached to it. The wire is part of a trap. If someone moves the trophy, the trap will make a loud noise and scare them away.
+
+Tom and Mia set off the trap. They hear a loud beep and see a flash of light. They get scared and drop the trophy. The trophy falls to the ground and breaks.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom and Mia cry. "We broke the trophy! What will we do?"
+
+They hear footsteps and voices. They see some big kids running towards them. The big kids are angry. They are the best soccer team in the city. They worked hard to win the trophy. They do not like Tom and Mia.
+
+"Hey, you two!" one of the big kids shouts. "What did you do to our trophy? You are in big trouble!"
+
+Tom and Mia are sorry. They did not mean to break the trophy. They did not know it was dangerous. They run away from the big kids. They hide behind a tree.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn to not touch things that are not theirs. They learn to read signs that warn them. They learn to be careful with trophies.
+Lily loved yoga. She liked to stretch and bend and breathe. She had a yoga mat and a yoga book. She did yoga every day with her mom.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to show her friend Ben how to do yoga. She took her mat and her book and went to his house. Ben was happy to see her. He said he wanted to try yoga too.
+
+They went to the backyard and laid their mats on the grass. Lily opened her book and showed Ben the pictures. She said they could do the poses together. She pointed to the first one. It was called tree. She said, "You stand on one leg and put your other foot on your knee. You raise your arms and balance. You are a tree."
+
+Ben nodded and tried to copy her. He lifted his leg and put his foot on his knee. He raised his arms and tried to balance. But he wobbled and fell. He said, "This is hard. I can't do it."
+
+Lily said, "It's okay. You can try again. You just need to focus and breathe. Yoga is fun and good for you. It makes you strong and calm."
+
+Ben said, "Okay. I will try again. But can we do something else after?"
+
+Lily said, "Sure. We can play with your toys or watch a movie. But first, let's do some more yoga."
+
+They did some more poses from the book. They did cat, dog, frog, and snake. They had fun and laughed. They felt good and relaxed.
+
+But Lily forgot something. She forgot to put her book back in her bag. She left it on the grass. She did not see it when she and Ben went inside to play.
+
+The next day, Lily wanted to do yoga again. She looked for her book in her bag. But it was not there. She felt sad and worried. She wondered where it was. She remembered she took it to Ben's house. She hoped it was still there.
+
+She called Ben and asked him if he had seen her book. He said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Lily. I forgot to tell you. Your book is gone. It rained last night and it got wet and ruined. I threw it away. I'm sorry."
+
+Lily felt very sad and angry. She said, "Ben, you are a bad friend. You did not take care of my book. You did not tell me. You threw it away. It was my favorite book. It was a brilliant book. I loved it. How could you do that?"
+
+Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to hurt you. I was careless and forgetful. I should have given you your book back. I should have told you. I should have saved it. I was a bad friend. Please forgive me."
+
+Lily was still sad and angry. But she also remembered that Ben was her friend. He did not do it on purpose. He was sorry. She decided to forgive him. She said, "Okay, Ben. I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will be more careful and respectful with other people's things. You have to promise me that you will not forget again."
+
+Ben said, "I promise, Lily. I promise. Thank you for forgiving me. You are a good friend. Can we still do yoga together?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, Ben. We can still do yoga together. But next time, we will use my mom's book. And we will not forget it."
+Lily was a humble girl who liked to play in the garden. She loved to watch the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a caterpillar on a leaf. She leaned closer to see its colors and patterns.
+
+"Hello, caterpillar," she said. "You are very pretty. Can I be your friend?"
+
+The caterpillar looked at Lily and said, "No, you can't. You are too big and loud. You might hurt me or my leaf. Go away and leave me alone."
+
+Lily felt sad and hurt. She did not want to hurt the caterpillar or his leaf. She just wanted to be nice and friendly. She walked away and found another bug to talk to.
+
+A few days later, Lily came back to the garden. She saw the same leaf, but the caterpillar was gone. Instead, there was a beautiful butterfly with wings of many colors. Lily gasped and smiled. She leaned closer to see the butterfly.
+
+"Hello, butterfly," she said. "You are very pretty. Can I be your friend?"
+
+The butterfly looked at Lily and said, "Yes, you can. You are very kind and gentle. You did not bother me or my leaf. You let me grow and change. Thank you for being my friend."
+
+Lily felt happy and glad. She had made a new friend. She learned that sometimes people and bugs need time and space to grow and change. She also learned that being humble and respectful is better than being rude and selfish. She played with the butterfly and the other bugs in the garden.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big bush with red berries. They wanted to pick some and eat them. They thought the berries looked yummy.
+
+But their mom saw them and said, "Stop! Don't touch those berries! They are bad for you. They can make you sick. They are not food."
+
+Anna and Ben were confused. They did not know why the berries were bad. They looked harmless. They looked like the berries they ate for breakfast. They asked their mom, "Why are they bad? What are they?"
+
+Their mom said, "They are not real berries. They are fake berries. They are part of a plant that is called a holly. It is a plant that grows in winter. It has green leaves and red berries. But the berries are not for eating. They are only for looking. They are pretty, but they are poisonous. They can hurt your tummy and make you feel bad."
+
+Anna and Ben realized that their mom was right. They did not want to eat the fake berries. They wanted to eat real berries. They said, "Sorry, mom. We did not know. Can we have some real berries, please?"
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "Of course. Let's go inside and have some real berries. They are in the fridge. They are sweet and juicy and good for you. They are food."
+
+Anna and Ben were happy. They followed their mom inside. They had some real berries and some milk. They thanked their mom and said, "We love real berries. They are yummy."
+Tim and Mia were hungry. They wanted to eat some fruit. They saw a big melon on the table. It was green and round and smelled good.
+
+"Can we have some melon, Mom?" Tim asked.
+
+"Yes, you can, but be careful. The melon is very heavy. You need to use a knife to cut it," Mom said.
+
+Tim and Mia nodded. They got a knife and a plate. They tried to lift the melon, but it was too heavy for them. They dropped it on the floor. The melon broke into two pieces. Juice and seeds spilled everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Tim and Mia cried.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the mess on the floor. She was not happy.
+
+"Tim and Mia, what did you do?" Mom asked.
+
+"We wanted some melon, but it was too heavy. We dropped it and it broke," Tim said.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to make a mess," Mia said.
+
+Tim and Mia trembled. They thought Mom would be angry and yell at them. But Mom did not yell. She sighed and smiled.
+
+"It's okay, Tim and Mia. I know you were hungry and curious. But next time, please ask me for help. Melons are not easy to cut. You could hurt yourself with the knife," Mom said.
+
+She picked up the knife and the plate. She cut some pieces of melon and put them on the plate. She gave the plate to Tim and Mia.
+
+"Here, you can have some melon. It is good and sweet. But first, help me clean up the floor. We don't want to waste food or make ants come," Mom said.
+
+Tim and Mia nodded. They helped Mom clean up the floor. They threw away the seeds and the rind. They wiped the juice with a cloth. Then they sat down and ate some melon. It was good and sweet. They thanked Mom for the melon and the help.
+
+Mom hugged them and kissed them. She was not angry anymore. She was happy.
+
+"I love you, Tim and Mia. You are good and brave. But next time, please be careful," Mom said.
+
+Tim and Mia smiled. They loved Mom too. They learned a lesson. They were careful.
+Lena and Tom are friends. They like to play in Tom's house. Tom's house has many toys and books. Lena and Tom have fun with the toys and books.
+
+One day, Tom's mom says, "Lena, it is time to go home. Your mom is waiting for you." Lena does not want to go home. She wants to play more with Tom.
+
+"Please, can I remain here?" Lena asks. "Please, please, please?"
+
+Tom's mom smiles. "Sorry, Lena, but you have to go home. Maybe you can come again tomorrow. Say goodbye to Tom."
+
+Lena and Tom hug. "Bye, Lena. See you tomorrow," Tom says.
+
+"Bye, Tom. Thank you for playing with me," Lena says.
+
+Lena and Tom's mom walk to the door. They hear a loud noise. It is Tom's dad. He is mowing the lawn. The lawn mower is very loud.
+
+Lena covers her ears. "What is that?" she asks.
+
+"That is the lawn mower. It cuts the grass. It makes the house look nice," Tom's mom explains.
+
+Lena nods. She thinks the lawn mower is too loud. She likes the house better when it is quiet. She is glad she can go home now. She waves to Tom and his dad. She hopes to play with Tom again soon.
+Lily and Ben were playing school in the basement. Lily was the teacher and Ben was the student. Lily had a blackboard and some chalk. She wrote some letters and numbers on the blackboard.
+
+"Ben, can you read what I wrote?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben looked at the blackboard. He did not know all the letters and numbers. He felt shy.
+
+"I don't want to read," he said.
+
+Lily was stubborn. She wanted Ben to read. She insisted.
+
+"Come on, Ben, you have to read. It's fun. I will help you," she said.
+
+She pointed to the first letter on the blackboard. It was A.
+
+"This is A. A is for apple. Can you say A?" she said.
+
+Ben shook his head. He did not want to say A.
+
+"No, I don't want to say A. I want to play something else," he said.
+
+Lily was sad. She liked playing school. She did not understand why Ben did not like it.
+
+"Please, Ben, just try. It's easy. You can do it," she said.
+
+She pointed to the next letter on the blackboard. It was B.
+
+"This is B. B is for ball. Can you say B?" she said.
+
+Ben looked at the blackboard. He saw the letter B. He liked balls. He had a red ball in his room. He decided to try.
+
+"B," he said.
+
+Lily was happy. She clapped her hands.
+
+"Good job, Ben! You said B. See, it's not so hard. Let's do the next one," she said.
+
+She pointed to the next letter on the blackboard. It was C.
+
+"This is C. C is for cat. Can you say C?" she said.
+
+Ben looked at the blackboard. He saw the letter C. He liked cats. He had a black cat named Max. He decided to try again.
+
+"C," he said.
+
+Lily was very happy. She hugged Ben.
+
+"Yay, Ben! You said C. You are doing great. You are a smart student. I am a proud teacher. Do you want to do more?" she said.
+
+Ben nodded. He felt good. He liked reading. He liked playing school. He liked Lily.
+
+"Yes, I want to do more. Let's do the numbers," he said.
+
+Lily smiled. She erased the letters and wrote some numbers on the blackboard.
+
+"Okay, Ben, let's do the numbers. This is one. One is for one finger. Can you say one?" she said.
+
+Ben looked at the blackboard. He saw the number one. He held up one finger.
+
+"One," he said.
+
+Lily and Ben continued to play school. They read the numbers and the letters. They had fun. They learned. They were friends.
+Jill and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Jill says.
+
+"OK!" Tom says.
+
+They run to the slide. They wait for their turn. They see a boy with a fancy hat. The hat has a cell on it. The cell has a spring. The spring makes the cell bounce up and down.
+
+"Wow, look at his hat!" Jill says.
+
+"It is so funny!" Tom says.
+
+The boy hears them. He smiles. He comes to them.
+
+"Hi, I am Ben. Do you like my hat?" he says.
+
+"Yes, we do. It is a cool hat. How does it work?" Jill says.
+
+"It is easy. I just put a cell on a spring. Then I glue it to my hat. When I move, the cell bounces. Do you want to try it?" he says.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom says.
+
+Ben takes off his hat. He gives it to Tom. Tom puts it on his head. He feels the cell bounce. He laughs.
+
+"This is fun!" he says.
+
+Jill and Ben laugh too. They become friends. They play on the slide together. They have a good time.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a pond with many fish. They want to feed the fish.
+
+"Look, Tom, the fish are hungry. Let's give them some bread," Sara says.
+
+"OK, Sara, but we have to be careful. The pond is deep and wet," Tom says.
+
+They seat on the grass near the pond. They break the bread into small pieces. They throw the pieces into the water. The fish swim to the bread and eat it.
+
+"Wow, Sara, look at that fish. It is big and red. It is rare. I have never seen a fish like that," Tom says.
+
+"Me neither, Tom. It is beautiful. Maybe it is a magic fish. Maybe it can talk," Sara says.
+
+They watch the big red fish. It comes closer to them. It opens its mouth.
+
+"Hello, Sara and Tom. Thank you for the bread. It is yummy. You are kind to me. I am a rare fish. I can talk. I can also grant you one wish each. What do you wish for?" the fish says.
+
+Sara and Tom are surprised. They look at each other. They smile. They have many wishes. They think hard. What will they wish for?
+Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has long hair and a bright bow. Anna likes to brush Lily's hair and make new styles.
+
+One day, Anna wants to show Lily to her friend Ben. She puts Lily in a bag and goes to Ben's house. Ben is happy to see Anna and her bag. He wants to see what is inside.
+
+Anna says, "This is Lily. She is my best doll. Do you want to play with her?" Ben nods and reaches for the bag. But Anna pulls it away. She says, "No, you can't. Lily is mine. You can't touch her."
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He says, "That's not fair. You are mean. I don't want to play with you." He runs to his room and slams the door. He locks the door and does not come out.
+
+Anna feels sorry and lonely. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to be mean. I just love Lily so much. Can we be friends again?" She knocks on the door, but Ben does not answer. She waits and waits, but Ben does not open the door.
+
+Anna wishes she had shared Lily with Ben. She thinks, "Maybe Ben would have liked Lily too. Maybe he would have been nice to her. Maybe we could have had fun together." She hugs Lily and cries. She hopes Ben will forgive her. She learns that sharing is better than keeping.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But they do not like to clean up their mess. Their mom always tells them to mind their toys and put them away.
+
+One day, mom says, "Lily and Tom, it is time to go to the park. But first, you have to clean up your room. And put on your clean socks and shoes."
+
+Lily and Tom do not want to clean up. They want to go to the park. They say, "No, mom, we do not want to clean up. We want to go now."
+
+Mom says, "No, you have to clean up first. Or you cannot go to the park. And you have to wear clean socks and shoes. Or your feet will get dirty and hurt."
+
+Lily and Tom are sad and angry. They do not like mom's rules. They start to cry and shout. They throw their toys and socks on the floor.
+
+Mom is sad and angry too. She says, "Lily and Tom, you are being very naughty. You have to mind me and do what I say. Or you will have a time out. And you will not go to the park at all."
+
+Lily and Tom do not want a time out. They do not want to miss the park. They look at each other. They see their toys and socks on the floor. They see mom's face. They feel sorry.
+
+They say, "Sorry, mom. We will clean up. We will wear clean socks and shoes. We will mind you. Please, can we go to the park?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. I am glad you are being good. You can go to the park. But first, you have to clean up. And put on your clean socks and shoes. And give me a hug."
+
+Lily and Tom hug mom. They clean up their room. They put on their clean socks and shoes. They are happy. They go to the park with mom. They have fun. They mind mom. They are good twins.
+Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a big girl and do things by herself. One day, mom asked her to bring a tray of cookies to the living room, where dad and grandma were waiting. Anna was very happy and proud. She took the tray from the counter and walked carefully to the door.
+
+"Be careful, Anna," mom said. "The tray is high and heavy. Don't drop it, okay?"
+
+"I won't, mom," Anna said. "I can do it. Trust me."
+
+Anna opened the door and saw dad and grandma sitting on the couch. They smiled and waved at her. Anna smiled back and walked towards them. She wanted to surprise them with the cookies. She did not see the toy car that was on the floor. She stepped on it and slipped. The tray flew out of her hands and landed on the floor with a loud crash. The cookies broke into pieces and scattered everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna cried. "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, grandma. I ruined the cookies."
+
+Mom, dad, and grandma ran to Anna and hugged her. They checked if she was hurt. She was not. She only had a small scratch on her knee.
+
+"It's okay, Anna," mom said. "We're not mad at you. We're glad you're okay. Accidents happen. We still love you and trust you."
+
+"Yes, Anna," dad said. "You did a good job trying to help mom. You're a brave and kind girl. We're proud of you."
+
+"Thank you, Anna," grandma said. "You don't have to worry about the cookies. We can make more later. The most important thing is that you're safe and happy."
+
+Anna felt better. She hugged them back and said sorry again. They wiped her tears and kissed her cheek. They picked up the tray and the cookies and threw them away. Then they sat on the couch and watched a funny show on TV. Anna laughed and snuggled with them. She felt warm and loved. She learned a lesson. She learned to be more careful and watch where she was going. She also learned that her family trusted her and loved her no matter what. She was a lucky girl.
+Lily and Tom were at the park with Mom. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. Lily and Tom liked the fountain. They wanted to touch the water.
+
+Mom said, "Be careful, the water is cold. And don't get wet."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They went closer to the fountain. They saw a cute duck swimming in the water. The duck had yellow feathers and a orange beak. Lily and Tom smiled. They wanted to pet the duck.
+
+They reached out their hands to the duck. But the duck was shy. It swam away from them. Lily and Tom followed the duck. They did not see the water that went up and down.
+
+Splash! The water came down on Lily and Tom. They got wet. They felt cold. They cried.
+
+Mom heard them cry. She ran to them. She hugged them. She said, "Oh, no, you are wet. Let's go home and change. And have some hot chocolate."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They still liked the duck. But they did not like the water. They wanted to go home and melt.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play dress-up. They had many costumes and hats and shoes in their big box. One day, they found a new costume that was shiny and bright. It had a cape and a mask and a belt with a star.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "It is a superhero costume! I want to wear it!"
+
+"No, I want to wear it!" Ben said. "It is mine!"
+
+They both grabbed the costume and pulled hard. They did not want to share. They did not listen to each other. They did not say sorry.
+
+The costume ripped in half. The cape tore. The mask broke. The belt snapped. A spark flew out of the star and hit the box. The box caught fire. The costumes and hats and shoes burned.
+
+Lily and Ben screamed and ran away. They were scared and sad. They lost their new costume and their old ones. They smelled smoke and saw flames.
+
+Mom and Dad came and put out the fire. They were angry and worried. They hugged Lily and Ben and took them outside.
+
+"Why did you do this?" Mom asked. "Why did you fight over the costume? Why did you not share?"
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben said. "We were selfish and greedy. We wanted the costume for ourselves. We did not think of the spark and the fire."
+
+Mom and Dad shook their heads. They were disappointed and sad. They said, "You should be careful and kind. You should not play with things that can hurt you or others. You should share and take turns. That is what healthy and happy children do."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They said, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We will be careful and kind. We will not play with sparks and fire. We will share and take turns. We want to be healthy and happy children."
+
+But it was too late. The costume was gone. The box was gone. The fire was bad. The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a big, tall hill. They want to climb it and see what is on top.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go up the hill!" Ben says.
+
+"OK, Ben, but be careful. The hill is very steep and high," Lily says.
+
+They start to climb the hill. They use their hands and feet to hold on to the grass and rocks. They see birds and flowers and bugs. They have fun.
+
+But when they get to the top, they see something strange. There is a small house on the hill. It has a door and a window and a chimney. It looks old and dusty.
+
+"Wow, look at that house! Who lives there?" Ben says.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe no one. Maybe it is empty," Lily says.
+
+They walk to the house. They want to see inside. Ben tries to open the door. But it is locked.
+
+"Hey, the door is locked! How can we get in?" Ben says.
+
+"Maybe we can look through the window," Lily says.
+
+They go to the window. They try to see inside. But the window is dirty and dark. They can't see anything.
+
+"Aw, this is no fun. We can't get in the house. Let's go back down the hill," Ben says.
+
+"OK, Ben. Maybe we can find something else to play with," Lily says.
+
+They turn around and start to go back down the hill. But then they hear a loud noise. It sounds like a growl. It comes from the house.
+
+They look back. They see a big, furry animal come out of the house. It has sharp teeth and claws. It looks angry.
+
+"Run, Lily, run! It's a bear!" Ben says.
+
+"A bear? Oh no, Ben, we have to run fast!" Lily says.
+
+They run down the hill as fast as they can. They are scared. The bear chases them. It roars and snarls.
+
+They reach the bottom of the hill. They see their parents waiting for them. They run to them and hug them.
+
+"Mom, Dad, help! There is a bear on the hill! It came out of the house!" Ben says.
+
+"A bear? What house? What are you talking about?" Mom says.
+
+"We climbed the hill and we saw a house. But it was locked. And then a bear came out. It was big and scary!" Lily says.
+
+Mom and Dad look at the hill. They don't see a house. They don't see a bear. They only see the grass and the rocks and the sky.
+
+"Are you sure you saw a house and a bear? Maybe you imagined it. Maybe it was a dream," Dad says.
+
+"No, Dad, it was real. We saw it. We heard it. It was not a dream," Ben says.
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They think Lily and Ben have a lot of imagination. They think they made up a story.
+
+"OK, OK, we believe you. But maybe you should stay away from the hill. It might be dangerous. How about we go home and have some cookies and milk?" Mom says.
+
+"OK, Mom. But can we tell you more about the house and the bear?" Lily says.
+
+"Sure, Lily. We would love to hear more about your adventure. But only if you use simple words," Dad says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They hold their parents' hands. They walk home. They are happy. They are safe. They have a story to tell.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Sara has a big doll that can talk and sing. Ben has a fast car that can zoom and beep. They think their toys are luxury, because not all kids have them.
+
+One day, their mom comes in and says, "Kids, we need to talk. We have to move to a smaller house. We don't have enough money to stay here. You have to pack your things and give away some of your toys."
+
+Sara and Ben are sad and scared. They don't want to leave their home and their toys. They hug their doll and car and cry.
+
+"Mom, please don't make us give away our toys. They are our friends. We love them. They make us happy," Sara says.
+
+"Mom, can we keep just one toy each? Please, please, please. We will be good and help you. We will share and care. We don't need anything else," Ben says.
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "I know, my sweet kids. I know you love your toys. But we have to be brave and smart. We have to think of what we really need and what we can live without. Luxury is nice, but not necessary. We need food, clothes, shelter, and love. Those are the most important things. And we have each other. We are a family. We will stick together and make the best of it."
+
+Sara and Ben wipe their tears and nod. They understand what mom says. They still feel sad, but they also feel grateful. They have a mom who loves them. They have each other. They have some toys left. They have hope. They are a family. And that is sweet.
+One day, a fox saw a big red ball in the grass. He wanted to play with it, so he ran to get it. But a dog saw him and barked. The dog wanted the ball too, so he chased the fox.
+
+The fox and the dog raced to the ball. They ran very fast and made a lot of noise. They did not see the farmer who was working in the field. The farmer heard the noise and looked up. He saw the fox and the dog and got angry.
+
+The farmer picked up a stick and shouted at the fox and the dog. He wanted them to go away from his field. The fox and the dog were scared of the farmer and his stick. They dropped the ball and ran away. The farmer took the ball and threw it in the trash.
+
+The fox and the dog learned a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. And they should not be noisy in the field. They decided to be friends and find another place to play.
+Lily and Tom were poor. They lived in a small hut near the forest. They had no toys, no books, no clothes. They only had each other and their dog, Spot.
+
+One day, they decided to go to the forest to look for berries and nuts. They hoped to find something to eat and maybe something to sell. They took a basket and a stick and walked with Spot into the green woods.
+
+They saw many trees, flowers, birds and animals. They picked some berries and nuts and put them in the basket. They also found a shiny stone and a feather. They were happy and curious.
+
+"Look, Tom, what is that?" Lily pointed to a big house in the middle of the forest. It had a red roof, white walls and many windows. It looked like a fairy tale.
+
+"Let's go and see, Lily. Maybe someone lives there. Maybe they can help us." Tom said. He held Lily's hand and walked towards the house. Spot followed them, wagging his tail.
+
+They knocked on the door. No one answered. They knocked again. Still no one. They tried to open the door. It was not locked. They went inside.
+
+The house was full of wonderful things. There were toys, books, clothes, food, candy, and more. Lily and Tom could not believe their eyes. They felt like they were in a dream.
+
+"Wow, look at all this, Lily. Can we play with the toys? Can we read the books? Can we eat the food?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know, Tom. Maybe we should not touch anything. Maybe this is someone else's house. Maybe they will be angry if they find us here." Lily said.
+
+"But they are not here, Lily. And we are poor. We have nothing. Please, Lily, please. Let's have some fun. Just for a little while." Tom begged.
+
+Lily looked at Tom. She saw his big eyes and his hopeful smile. She felt sorry for him. She also wanted to have some fun. She nodded.
+
+"Okay, Tom. But only for a little while. And we have to be careful. And we have to share with Spot." She said.
+
+They put their basket and stick in a corner. They ran to the toys. They played with the dolls, the cars, the blocks, the puzzles. They read the books. They tried on the clothes. They ate the food. They gave some to Spot. They laughed and sang and danced. They forgot about everything else.
+
+They did not hear the footsteps. They did not see the shadow. They did not notice the door opening. They did not know that someone was watching them. Someone who was not happy. Someone who was very angry. Someone who owned the house. Someone who was a witch.
+Anna and her mom went to the market. They saw many things there. They saw fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, and flowers. Anna liked the flowers. They were colorful and smelled nice.
+
+Anna saw a tall man selling flowers. He had a big smile and a hat. He gave Anna a flower. Anna said thank you. She was happy.
+
+Anna and her mom walked some more. They saw a dog. The dog was brown and furry. He wagged his tail and licked Anna's face. Anna giggled. She liked the dog.
+
+But the dog made Anna's face dirty. Anna's mom took a napkin and wiped Anna's face. She said, "You are a messy girl. But you are a sweet girl. I love you."
+
+Anna hugged her mom. She said, "I love you too, mom. Can we go to the market again?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, we can. The market is a fun place."
+Sara liked to spin. She spun when she was happy, she spun when she was sad, she spun when she was bored. She spun in her room, she spun in the garden, she spun in the park. She spun so fast that she felt like a bird in the sky.
+
+One day, she saw a musician in the park. He had a big guitar and a funny hat. He played songs that made Sara want to spin. She ran to him and asked, "Can I spin to your music?"
+
+The musician smiled and said, "Of course you can, little girl. You can spin as much as you want. You are a good dancer."
+
+Sara was happy. She spun and spun and spun to the music. She felt the sun on her face, the wind in her hair, and the joy in her heart. She spun until she was dizzy and tired.
+
+The musician stopped playing and said, "You are amazing, little girl. You have a lot of energy and spirit. Thank you for spinning to my music. You made me happy too."
+
+Sara thanked the musician and gave him a hug. She felt peaceful and sleepy. She said, "Your music is beautiful. It makes me feel like spinning. Can I come back and spin again?"
+
+The musician nodded and said, "You can come back anytime, little girl. I will be here playing my music. You are always welcome to spin with me."
+
+Sara smiled and waved goodbye. She walked back to her mom, who was waiting for her. She told her mom about the musician and the spinning. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm glad you had fun, Sara. You are a wonderful spinner and a good listener. Now let's go home and rest. You must be very tired."
+
+Sara nodded and yawned. She was very tired, but also very happy. She had found a new friend and a new way to spin. She closed her eyes and dreamed of spinning to the music.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to be actors in a theater. They use a big box as a stage and a curtain. They wear funny hats and clothes.
+
+Anna says, "I am a princess. You are a dragon. You want to eat me, but I have a magic wand." She waves a stick in the air.
+
+Ben says, "I am a dragon. I roar and breathe fire. You cannot stop me, princess. I will catch you." He crawls on the floor and makes noises.
+
+They run and chase each other around the box. They have fun. But then Ben bumps into the box and makes it fall. The curtain falls on them. They are trapped.
+
+Anna says, "Help! Help! We are stuck. How do we get out?"
+
+Ben says, "I don't know. I can't see. I feel dizzy."
+
+They try to push the curtain and the box away. But they are too heavy. They are scared.
+
+Then they hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "What are you doing, kids? Are you okay?"
+
+She lifts the curtain and the box. She sees Anna and Ben. They are dirty and messy. But they are not hurt.
+
+Anna says, "Mom, we were playing theater. But we made a mess. We are sorry."
+
+Ben says, "Mom, we were playing reverse. I was a dragon and she was a princess. But we got stuck. We are sorry."
+
+Mom says, "It's okay, kids. I'm glad you are safe. But next time, be careful. And clean up after you play."
+
+She hugs them and kisses them. She helps them tidy up. They say thank you. They love Mom.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to attach the spoons to the cups with tape. She said they were her friends and they liked to talk. Mom smiled and said Lily was very compassionate. She gave her a hug and a kiss.
+
+Mom asked Lily to help her make dinner. They washed some carrots and potatoes. They cut them into small pieces. They put them in a big pot with water and salt. They turned on the stove and waited for them to boil. Lily stirred them with a wooden spoon. She said they were yummy and she wanted to eat them.
+
+When dad came home, he smelled the dinner and said it was delicious. He thanked mom and Lily for cooking. He set the table and poured some juice. They all sat down and said a prayer. They ate the dinner and enjoyed it. They said it was the best dinner ever. Lily was happy and proud. She attached a big smile to her face.
+Lily liked to help her mom cook. She liked to wash the fruits and vegetables, and to stir the pots. But she did not like to cut the onions. They made her eyes water and sting.
+
+One day, her mom asked her to cut an onion for the soup. Lily did not want to, but her mom said it was easy and fun. She gave her a knife and a cutting board, and showed her how to peel and chop the onion.
+
+Lily tried to do as her mom said, but the onion was slippery and hard. She could not hold it well, and the knife was sharp. She cut her finger and it hurt a lot. She dropped the knife and the onion, and started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she wailed. "Mommy, help me!"
+
+Her mom heard her and ran to her. She saw the blood and the onion, and felt sorry for Lily. She took her to the sink and washed her wound. She put a band-aid on it and hugged her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. You were very brave to try to cut the onion. But you are too little to use a knife. Next time, let me do it, okay?" she said.
+
+Lily nodded, but she was still sad. She wanted to help her mom cook, but she did not want to cut onions ever again. She rubbed her eyes with her sleeve, but they still watered and stung. She wished she had never touched the onion. It was a bad day.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Let's try to dig deeper," Tom says. He picks up a stick and starts to scrape the earth.
+
+"Maybe we can find a treasure," Mia says. She joins him with another stick. They work hard and make the hole bigger.
+
+But then, a man comes and sees them. He is angry. He is the gardener. He says, "Stop! What are you doing? You are making a mess. This is my flower bed. You are ruining it."
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They drop their sticks and run away. They say, "Sorry, sorry, we didn't know."
+
+The gardener shakes his head. He is busy. He has to fix the hole and plant new flowers. He says, "Next time, ask before you dig. And play somewhere else."
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They were happy because the sunshine was warm and bright.
+
+But then a big cloud came and covered the sun. The park became dark and cold. Lila and Tom felt sad.
+
+"Who stole the sunshine?" Lila asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a mean bird or a bad dragon," Tom said.
+
+They looked around and saw a man with a big balloon. The balloon was shiny and yellow, like the sun.
+
+"Look, there is the sunshine!" Lila said. "The man stole it and put it in his balloon!"
+
+They ran to the man and shouted, "Give us back the sunshine! You are not nice!"
+
+The man was surprised and scared. He did not know what they were talking about. He tried to explain, "This is not the sunshine. This is a balloon. I bought it for my son's birthday."
+
+But Lila and Tom did not listen. They were angry and brave. They jumped and grabbed the balloon. They pulled and tugged. The balloon was flexible and stretched.
+
+But then it popped. The balloon made a loud noise and burst into pieces. The man was sad and mad. He lost his balloon and his money.
+
+Lila and Tom were shocked and sorry. They realized they made a mistake. They did not steal the sunshine. They broke the balloon.
+
+They said to the man, "We are sorry. We thought you stole the sunshine. We wanted to play in the sun."
+
+The man said, "It's okay. I understand. You are young and curious. But you should not take things that are not yours. And you should listen to people who know more than you."
+
+Lila and Tom nodded and said, "We are sorry. We will not do it again. We will be good and polite."
+
+The man smiled and said, "That's good. Now, look, the cloud is gone. The sunshine is back. You can play in the park again."
+
+Lila and Tom looked up and saw the sun. It was warm and bright. They were happy again.
+
+They said to the man, "Thank you. You are nice. Happy birthday to your son."
+
+The man said, "You are welcome. Thank you. Have fun in the park."
+
+Lila and Tom ran to the swing, the slide and the grass. They played and laughed. They enjoyed the sunshine.
+Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat something yummy. She looked in the kitchen, but she did not see any food. She saw a big drawer with a shiny handle. She opened the drawer and saw many pretty things. She saw spoons and forks and knives and cups and plates. She liked the colors and the shapes.
+
+She picked up a spoon. It was silver and round. She put it in her mouth and tried to eat it. But it was hard and cold and tasted bad. She spat it out and said, "Yuck! This is not food. This is a spoon."
+
+She picked up a fork. It was silver and had four points. She put it in her mouth and tried to eat it. But it was hard and sharp and hurt her tongue. She cried out and said, "Ow! This is not food. This is a fork."
+
+She picked up a knife. It was silver and had a blade. She put it in her mouth and tried to eat it. But it was hard and dangerous and cut her lip. She screamed and said, "Aah! This is not food. This is a knife."
+
+She dropped the knife and ran out of the kitchen. She saw her mom and dad in the living room. They were watching TV. They heard her scream and saw her blood. They jumped up and ran to her. They hugged her and said, "What happened, Lily? Are you okay?"
+
+Lily sobbed and said, "I was hungry. I wanted to eat something yummy. I looked in the kitchen. I opened the drawer. I saw many pretty things. But they were not food. They were spoons and forks and knives. They were hard and cold and bad and sharp and dangerous. They hurt me. They made me bleed."
+
+Her mom and dad looked at each other and said, "Oh, Lily. We are so sorry. You should not eat those things. They are not food. They are tools. They are for eating with, not eating. They can hurt you. You have to be careful."
+
+They took her to the bathroom and cleaned her wound. They put a band-aid on her lip and gave her a kiss. They said, "We love you, Lily. We don't want you to be hurt. Next time, if you are hungry, ask us for food. We have food in the fridge and the pantry. We have food that is yummy and soft and good and safe. We have food that you can eat."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay. I will ask you for food. I will not eat the pretty things in the drawer. I will eat the yummy food in the fridge and the pantry. I love you, mom and dad. Thank you for helping me."
+
+They smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. We love you too. Now, let's go to the kitchen and find something yummy to eat."
+Tom and Lily are playing with paper. They like to fold the paper and make shapes. Tom folds a paper into a plane. He throws it in the air. The plane flies far and fast.
+
+"Wow, Tom, your plane is good!" Lily says.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. Do you want to try?" Tom says.
+
+Lily nods. She folds a paper into a plane too. But her paper is weak. It has a tear in the middle. She throws it in the air. The plane falls down quickly.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, your plane is bad!" Tom says.
+
+Lily feels sad. She does not like her plane. She wants a good plane like Tom.
+
+"Tom, can you help me?" Lily says.
+
+"Sure, Lily. I can help you. Here, take this paper. It is strong and smooth. Fold it like this and this. See, now you have a good plane too!" Tom says.
+
+Lily smiles. She folds the paper like Tom. She throws it in the air. The plane flies far and fast.
+
+"Yay, Lily, your plane is good!" Tom says.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. Let's play more!" Lily says.
+
+They run after their planes. They have fun. They fold more paper and make more shapes. They make a post, a hat, a boat, and a star. They are happy.
+Sam and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big pile of leaves. Sam says, "Let's imagine we are pirates and this is our treasure." Mia says, "Okay, but we need a map and a skeleton." Sam says, "I have a map in my pocket. And look, there is a skeleton under the leaves."
+
+They run to the pile of leaves and dig out a skeleton. It is not a real skeleton, but a toy one. It has a hat and a hook and a patch. Sam says, "This is our pirate skeleton. He guards our treasure." Mia says, "He looks scary, but also funny." They put the skeleton next to the leaves and pretend to follow the map.
+
+They find a big tree and say, "This is the X that marks the spot." They dig under the tree and find a box. They open the box and see shiny coins and jewels. They say, "Wow, we found the treasure!" They take some coins and jewels and put them in their pockets. They say, "Thank you, pirate skeleton, for sharing your treasure with us."
+
+They hear a loud noise. It is their mom calling them. They say, "We have to go now, pirate skeleton. Bye-bye." They run to their mom and show her their coins and jewels. Their mom says, "What a lively imagination you have, Sam and Mia. Where did you get these?" They say, "We found them in the park, with the help of a pirate skeleton." Their mom says, "A pirate skeleton? That sounds like a fun story. Tell me more on the way home." They say, "Okay, mom. We will tell you everything." They hold their mom's hand and walk home, happy and proud of their adventure.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big box. They can make the box into anything they want. Sometimes it is a house, sometimes it is a car, sometimes it is a spaceship.
+
+One day, they decide to make the box into a rocket. They use some paper, some tape, and some crayons to decorate the box. They draw windows, doors, and stars on the box. They also find a cord in the closet. They think the cord can be the rocket's tail.
+
+"Look, Ben, we have a rocket!" Sara says. "We can go to the moon!"
+
+"Yes, Sara, we can!" Ben says. "But we need a helmet and a suit. The moon is very cold and dark."
+
+They look around the room for something to use as a helmet and a suit. They see some hats, some scarves, and some gloves. They put them on and pretend they are astronauts.
+
+"Ready, Sara?" Ben asks.
+
+"Ready, Ben!" Sara answers.
+
+They get inside the box and close the door. They hold the cord in their hands and count down.
+
+"Three, two, one, blast off!" they shout together.
+
+They pull the cord and make a loud noise. They imagine the box is flying up in the sky. They see the sun, the clouds, and the birds. They see the moon getting closer and closer. It is bright and round.
+
+"We did it, Sara! We are on the moon!" Ben says.
+
+"We did it, Ben! We are on the moon!" Sara says.
+
+They hug each other and smile. They are happy. They are twins. They are united.
+Tom and Lily were going to a party. They had to wear costumes. Tom was a pirate and Lily was a fairy. They were very happy.
+
+They got in the car with Mom and Dad. Mom drove and Dad sang songs. Tom and Lily sang too. They had fun.
+
+But when they got to the party, Tom saw something bad. He forgot his pirate hat. He felt sad. He did not look like a pirate without his hat.
+
+"Don't worry, Tom," Lily said. "I have an idea. You can use my fairy wand. Then you can be a magic pirate."
+
+Tom looked at the wand. It was pink and sparkly. He did not like it. He shook his head.
+
+"No, thank you, Lily. I don't want to be a magic pirate. I want to be a real pirate."
+
+Just then, a tall boy came over. He was wearing a cowboy costume. He had a big hat and a toy gun. He smiled at Tom and Lily.
+
+"Hi, I'm Jake. Do you want to play with me?" he asked.
+
+Tom looked at Jake's hat. It was brown and round. He liked it. He had an idea.
+
+"Hi, Jake. I'm Tom and this is Lily. Can I borrow your hat for a while? I forgot my pirate hat. I can give you my wand. Then you can be a magic cowboy."
+
+Jake looked at the wand. He thought it was cool. He nodded.
+
+"Sure, Tom. That sounds fun. Here, take my hat. Let's be friends."
+
+Tom and Lily swapped their things with Jake. Tom put on the cowboy hat. Lily kept her fairy wings. Jake held the fairy wand. They all laughed.
+
+They went to play with the other kids. They had a lot of fun. They did not care what costumes they wore. They were happy.
+Timmy loved to soar in the air. He liked to jump on the big bed and pretend he was a bird. He felt happy and free when he soared.
+
+One day, he saw a sweater on the chair. It was his mom's sweater. It was soft and warm and had pretty colors. Timmy wanted to wear it. He thought it would make him soar even higher.
+
+He took the sweater and put it on. It was too big for him, but he didn't care. He ran to the bed and jumped. He soared and laughed. He felt like a rainbow bird.
+
+But then he heard his mom's voice. She was looking for her sweater. She sounded angry and sad. Timmy felt a pang in his chest. He felt guilty. He knew he did something bad. He took his mom's sweater without asking.
+
+He got off the bed and took off the sweater. He ran to his mom and gave it to her. He said he was sorry. He hugged her and said he loved her.
+
+His mom was surprised and relieved. She saw the sweater was not ruined. She smiled and hugged him back. She said she loved him too. She said he could wear her sweater sometimes, but only if he asked first.
+
+Timmy felt better. He learned his lesson. He still liked to soar, but he didn't need a sweater to do it. He just needed his imagination and his mom's love.
+Sara loved her pony very much. His name was Spot, because he had a big black spot on his back. Sara and Spot liked to play in the field, run and jump over the fence, and eat apples and carrots. They were very happy together.
+
+One day, Sara's mom told her that they had to move to a new house in the city. Sara was very sad. She did not want to leave Spot behind. She asked her mom, "Can Spot come with us, please?"
+
+Her mom shook her head. "I'm sorry, Sara, but there is no room for a pony in the city. We have to find a new home for Spot, where he can have other ponies to play with and lots of grass to eat."
+
+Sara felt miserable. She hugged Spot and cried. She did not want to say goodbye to her best friend. She wished they could stay together forever.
+
+The next day, a nice man came to the farm. He said his name was Tom, and he had a big ranch with many ponies. He said he was looking for a new friend for his pony, Daisy, who was lonely and sad. He saw Spot and smiled. He said, "What a beautiful pony! What is his name?"
+
+Sara wiped her tears and said, "His name is Spot. He is very smart and brave and kind. He likes to play and run and jump and eat apples and carrots."
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "He sounds like a perfect match for Daisy. She likes the same things. Do you think Spot would like to come with me and meet Daisy?"
+
+Sara looked at Spot. She saw that he was curious and excited. She knew that he would be happy with Tom and Daisy. She also knew that she had to let him go. She said, "Yes, I think he would. But I will miss him very much. He is my best friend."
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "I understand. You can come and visit him anytime you want. I will take good care of him, I promise. And maybe you can make a new friend in the city, too."
+
+Sara nodded. She gave Spot a big hug and a kiss. She said, "Goodbye, Spot. I love you. Have fun with Daisy. I will see you soon."
+
+Spot nuzzled her and whinnied. He said, "Goodbye, Sara. I love you, too. Thank you for being my friend. I will see you soon."
+
+Sara watched as Tom and Spot left. She felt sad, but also happy. She knew that Spot would be happy, too. She hoped that they would both find new friends and have new adventures. She said, "Goodbye, Spot. Goodbye, pony."
+One day, a little frog saw a fly buzzing near the pond. He wanted to catch it and eat it, so he hopped closer and closer. But the fly was fast and smart, and it flew away every time the frog tried to catch it.
+
+"Ha ha, you can't get me!" the fly teased. "You are too slow and clumsy. I am the best flyer in the world!"
+
+The frog felt angry and sad. He wished he could fly like the fly. He thought it was not fair that the fly could do something he could not. He decided to try harder and harder to catch the fly, even if it was difficult.
+
+He hopped and hopped, but the fly always flew out of his reach. He hopped so much that he got tired and thirsty. He did not notice that he was hopping away from the pond, where the water and his friends were.
+
+Soon, he hopped into a dry and dusty field, where there was no water and no shade. He felt hot and thirsty, and his tongue was dry. He looked around and saw that he was alone. He did not see the fly anymore. He did not see the pond anymore. He did not see his friends anymore. He felt scared and lonely.
+
+He realized that he had made a big mistake. He had wasted his time and energy chasing something he could not have, and he had lost something he needed and loved. He wished he had been happy with what he had, and not greedy for what he did not.
+
+He hoped he could find his way back to the pond, where he belonged. He hoped he could see his friends again, and play with them. He hoped he could find some water, and drink it. He hoped he could find some flies, and eat them. But he knew it would be difficult.
+
+He learned a valuable lesson that day. He learned that flying is not everything, and that hopping is not nothing. He learned that being fast and smart is not enough, and that being slow and clumsy is not bad. He learned that being happy with what you have is better than being unhappy with what you don't. He learned that hopping is fun, and that flies are tasty. He learned that he was a frog, and that he liked being a frog.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, and blocks. But they also saw a big brown bag on the sofa. It was Mom's bag, and it had a zipper on it.
+
+"What is in there?" Lily asked, pointing to the bag.
+
+"I don't know. Let's see!" Ben said, and ran to the sofa. He grabbed the bag and tried to open it. It was very heavy.
+
+"Wow, this bag is heavy! What do you think is in it?" Ben asked, as he pulled the zipper.
+
+"Maybe it has candy, or books, or toys!" Lily said, and joined Ben on the sofa. They opened the bag and looked inside.
+
+They saw a lot of things that they did not know. There was a shiny thing that looked like a snake, a black thing that looked like a hat, and a red thing that looked like a flower. There was also a big book with a lot of words on it, and a soft thing that looked like a blanket.
+
+"What are these things?" Lily asked, and touched the soft thing. It felt nice and warm.
+
+"I think this is leather. Mom said leather is from cows. And this is a scarf. Mom wears it when it is cold. And this is a necklace. Mom said it is very pretty and expensive." Ben said, and picked up the shiny thing.
+
+"Can I wear it?" Lily asked, and reached for the necklace.
+
+"No, it is Mom's. She will be mad if we touch it. We should put it back." Ben said, and tried to put the necklace back in the bag.
+
+But he was too late. Lily had already taken the necklace and put it around her neck. She smiled and said, "Look, I am Mom!"
+
+Ben was scared. He knew Lily was being naughty. He said, "Lily, give it back! Mom will be home soon. She will see you and be angry!"
+
+But Lily did not listen. She said, "No, I like it. It is shiny and pretty. I want to keep it!"
+
+She ran away from Ben and hid behind the chair. Ben followed her and tried to get the necklace. They started to fight and pull and shout.
+
+They did not hear the door open. They did not see Mom come in. They did not notice her face when she saw them.
+
+She was very angry. She said, "What are you doing? How dare you touch my bag and my things? You are very naughty! Give me the necklace right now!"
+
+Lily and Ben were shocked. They stopped fighting and looked at Mom. They felt sorry and scared. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We did not mean to be naughty."
+
+Mom took the necklace from Lily and put it back in the bag. She said, "You should not play with things that are not yours. You could have broken them or lost them. You should ask me first. And you should not fight with each other. You should share and be nice."
+
+She hugged them and said, "I love you, but you have to learn to behave. Now, say sorry to each other and to me. And then, go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Lily and Ben said sorry to each other and to Mom. They felt bad and sad. They went to their room and thought about what they did. They decided to be good and not touch Mom's bag again. They hoped Mom would forgive them and be happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, they find a big hat in the park. The hat is thin and has many holes.
+
+"Look, a hat!" Lily says. "Let's try it on!"
+
+They take turns to wear the hat. But the hat is too big for them. It falls over their eyes and ears.
+
+"This hat is funny!" Tom says. "But it does not cover my head well. The sun is still hot on my hair."
+
+Lily has an idea. She picks some flowers and leaves from the grass. She puts them on the hat.
+
+"Here, Tom. Try it now!" she says. "The flowers and leaves will cover the holes. They will make the hat cooler and prettier."
+
+Tom puts on the hat again. He smiles. The hat fits better and feels nice.
+
+"Wow, Lily! You are clever!" he says. "This hat is much better now. Thank you!"
+
+They run and play with the hat. They are happy. They have made a new toy from an old hat.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a huge tree with many branches and leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky.
+
+"Let's go up the tree, Tim!" Kim said. "It looks fun!"
+
+"OK, Kim!" Tim said. "But be careful. The tree is very big and high."
+
+They hopped on the grass and ran to the tree. They found a knot on the trunk that looked like a step. They used the knot to jump to the first branch. Then they climbed higher and higher, holding on to the smaller branches.
+
+They reached the top of the tree and looked around. They saw many things: the park, the road, the cars, the houses, the people. They also saw some birds flying and singing.
+
+"Wow, Kim! This is amazing!" Tim said. "We are so high!"
+
+"Yes, Tim! This is awesome!" Kim said. "We can see everything!"
+
+They smiled and laughed. They felt happy and proud.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A strong wind blew and shook the tree. The branch that Kim was sitting on snapped and broke. Kim screamed and fell down.
+
+"Kim! Kim!" Tim shouted. "Are you OK?"
+
+He looked down and saw Kim lying on the ground. She was not moving. She was hurt. Tim felt scared and sad.
+
+He wanted to help Kim, but he did not know how. He was stuck on the tree. He cried and called for help.
+
+But no one heard him. No one came. He was alone. He wished he never climbed the tree. He wished he stayed on the grass. He wished he had his sister back.
+Sam was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many cars, trucks, and trains, but his favorite toy was a big red fire truck. He liked to make loud noises with it and pretend he was a fireman.
+
+One day, he went to the park with his mom and saw a new friend. His name was Ben and he had a toy unicorn. It was white and pink and had a shiny horn on its head. Sam thought it was very pretty and wanted to play with it.
+
+"Hi, I'm Sam. Can I borrow your unicorn?" he asked Ben.
+
+Ben looked at Sam and shook his head. "No, this is my unicorn. You can't borrow it. It's mine," he said.
+
+Sam felt sad and angry. He wanted to play with the unicorn so much. He thought Ben was not nice. He looked at his fire truck and had an idea.
+
+"Fine, then I don't want to play with you. I have a better toy. Look at my fire truck. It has a horn too, but it's not dull like yours. It's loud and bright and fun," he said.
+
+He pressed a button on his fire truck and made it honk. It was a very loud and annoying sound. Ben covered his ears and frowned. He did not like the noise. He thought Sam was rude.
+
+"Stop it, stop it! That's too loud. You're hurting my ears. Your fire truck is not better. It's noisy and ugly and boring," he said.
+
+He grabbed his unicorn and ran away from Sam. He did not want to be his friend anymore.
+
+Sam watched him go and felt sorry. He realized he had been mean and selfish. He did not want to make Ben sad. He wanted to share and play nicely.
+
+He ran after Ben and called his name. "Ben, Ben, wait! I'm sorry. I was wrong. Your unicorn is not dull. It's beautiful and special. Can we be friends? Can we play together?" he said.
+
+Ben stopped and turned around. He saw Sam's face and heard his words. He felt happy and curious. He liked Sam's fire truck too. He thought it was cool and exciting.
+
+He smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'm sorry too. Your fire truck is not boring. It's loud and bright and fun. We can be friends. We can play together," he said.
+
+He held out his unicorn and offered it to Sam. "Here, you can borrow my unicorn. But be careful with it. It's my favorite toy," he said.
+
+Sam took the unicorn and thanked Ben. He gave him his fire truck and said the same thing. "Here, you can borrow my fire truck. But be careful with it. It's my favorite toy," he said.
+
+They swapped their toys and played happily. They made noises and stories and had a lot of fun. They learned to share and respect each other's toys. They became good friends.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with their bicycles. They ride fast and slow, and go up and down the hills. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big cake in the window of a shop. It looks yummy. It has pink and white frosting, and sprinkles on top. Tom and Lily want to eat the cake.
+
+They go inside the shop and ask the lady for the cake. The lady says the cake is very expensive. Tom and Lily do not have enough money. They are sad.
+
+A man sees them and smiles. He is generous. He says he will buy the cake for them. He pays the lady and gives the cake to Tom and Lily. They are happy.
+
+They thank the man and go outside. They share the cake with their bicycles. They eat some and give some to their bicycles. Their bicycles like the cake too. They are all full and happy. They ride away, smiling. The end.
+Lily liked to sing. She had a microphone that her dad gave her. She sang songs from her favorite show. She sang loud and happy.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to sing for her mom. She took her microphone and went to the living room. She saw her mom working on her laptop. She said, "Mom, look at me! I can sing for you!"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Okay, Lily, let me hear you sing. But don't be too loud, okay? I have to finish this work."
+
+Lily nodded and turned on her microphone. She started to sing her favorite song. But something was wrong. Her voice sounded funny. It sounded like a robot. She did not like it. She stopped singing and looked at her microphone. She saw a button that said "effects". She did not know what that meant.
+
+She pushed the button. The microphone made a loud noise. It hurt her ears. She dropped the microphone and cried. Her mom heard the noise and came to her. She said, "Lily, what happened? Are you okay?"
+
+Lily sobbed and said, "My microphone is stupid! It made my voice sound funny and then it made a loud noise! I don't like it!"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. Your microphone is not stupid. It has some features that can change your voice. But you don't have to use them. You can sing with your normal voice. Here, let me help you."
+
+Her mom picked up the microphone and turned off the button. She gave it back to Lily and said, "Try it now. Sing your song again."
+
+Lily wiped her tears and took the microphone. She turned it on and sang her song again. Her voice sounded normal and pretty. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You helped me. I love you."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. You have a beautiful voice. You make me happy."
+Tim and Sam are friends who like to play soccer. They are eager to join the big kids' team, but they are too small and slow. The big kids always laugh at them and say they are no good.
+
+One day, Tim and Sam see a poster that says: "Soccer Camp for Beginners. Learn how to kick, pass, and score. Sign up now!" They think this is a great chance to improve their skills and impress the big kids. They ask their moms if they can go, and their moms say yes.
+
+At the soccer camp, Tim and Sam meet a nice coach named Lisa. She teaches them how to dribble, shoot, and defend. She also gives them tips and tricks to play better. She says: "You are doing great, Tim and Sam. I recommend that you practice every day and have fun. You will soon be ready for the big kids' team."
+
+Tim and Sam follow Lisa's advice and practice every day. They also make new friends at the camp who help them and cheer for them. They feel more confident and happy.
+
+On the last day of the camp, Lisa organizes a friendly match between the campers. Tim and Sam are on the same team, and they play very well. They pass the ball to each other, they avoid the other team's players, and they score many goals. Their team wins the match, and Lisa gives them a medal and a hug. She says: "You are amazing, Tim and Sam. You have improved so much. You should be proud of yourselves. You are ready for the big kids' team."
+
+Tim and Sam are very happy and excited. They thank Lisa and their friends, and they run to their moms. They show them their medals and their score. They say: "Look, mom, we did it! We are good at soccer. Can we join the big kids' team now?"
+
+Their moms smile and hug them. They say: "Of course you can, Tim and Sam. You have worked hard and learned a lot. You have earned it. We are very proud of you. You are our soccer stars."
+Tom and Tim are twins. They like to play with cars and balls. They have a birthday soon. They want to invite their friends to their party.
+
+But they have a problem. They do not like the same friends. Tom likes Sam and Ben. They are wild. They run and shout and make a mess. Tim likes Amy and Sue. They are calm. They draw and sing and share toys.
+
+Tom and Tim fight. They say, "I want to invite my friends. You cannot invite your friends. They are bad. They are boring." They pull each other's hair and kick each other's legs.
+
+Mom hears them. She is angry. She says, "Stop fighting. You are twins. You should love each other. You can invite all your friends. But you have to be nice to them. And you have to clean up after the party."
+
+Tom and Tim say sorry. They hug each other. They say, "OK, Mom. We will invite all our friends. And we will be nice to them. And we will clean up after the party."
+
+They are happy. They make invitations. They write, "Come to our birthday party. We are twins. We have cars and balls and cake. We will have fun." They give them to their friends. Their friends are happy too. They say, "Thank you. We will come to your birthday party. We are your friends. We will have fun."
+Lily liked to fold paper. She learned how to make models of animals and flowers from her big sister. She had a lot of paper in different colors, but her favorite was brown. She said brown was the color of chocolate and bears.
+
+One day, she wanted to make a model of a bear for her friend Ben. She took a big brown paper and started to fold it. She made the head, the ears, the body, the legs and the tail. She was very proud of her model. She put it on the table and went to get a ribbon to tie around its neck.
+
+But when she came back, she saw that her model was gone. She looked around and saw her little brother Sam holding it. He was tearing it apart and laughing. Lily was very angry and sad. She ran to Sam and tried to get her model back.
+
+"Sam, stop it! That's my model! I made it for Ben! Give it back!" she shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine! It's fun! It's just paper!" Sam said.
+
+He threw the model on the floor and stomped on it. Lily cried and picked up the pieces. She felt like her heart was broken too.
+
+"Sam, you are very bad! You ruined my model and my gift! I don't like you!" she said.
+
+She ran to her room and slammed the door. She hugged her teddy bear and sobbed. She wished she had a real bear to protect her from Sam.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big structure with slides and swings and ladders. They wanted to go on it and have fun.
+
+"Let's hop on the structure!" Tom said. He ran to the ladder and climbed up.
+
+"Wait for me!" Lily said. She followed him and hopped on the slide. She slid down fast and laughed.
+
+They took turns on the slide and the swings. They were having a lot of fun. But then they saw another boy coming. He was bigger and older than them. He looked mean.
+
+"That's my structure!" the boy said. He pushed Tom off the ladder and grabbed Lily's swing. He made them fall and hurt themselves.
+
+"That's not fair!" Tom and Lily cried. They were sad and angry. They wanted to play on the structure too.
+
+A lady saw what happened. She was the boy's mom. She came over and scolded the boy.
+
+"You can't do that!" she said. "You have to share the structure with others. It's not yours. It's for everyone. Say sorry to Tom and Lily and let them play too."
+
+The boy felt ashamed. He said sorry to Tom and Lily. He asked them if they wanted to play with him. Tom and Lily nodded. They were happy again.
+
+They all played on the structure together. They hopped and slid and swung and laughed. They became friends. They learned to share and be fair.
+Ben and Mia like to play with blocks. They build tall towers and houses and bridges. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green. They share the blocks and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big drain in the park. It is round and dark and has holes. Ben says, "Let's build a block castle around the drain. It will be our secret fort." Mia says, "OK, that sounds fun."
+
+They take their blocks and start to build. They make walls and towers and gates. They use all the colors of blocks. They are happy and proud of their castle.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. It is brown and furry and has a loud bark. It sees the blocks and thinks they are toys. It runs to the castle and starts to knock it down. It bites and pulls and throws the blocks. Ben and Mia are scared and sad. They say, "Stop, dog, stop! Those are our blocks! That is our castle!"
+
+The dog does not listen. It keeps destroying the castle. The blocks fall into the drain and disappear. Ben and Mia cry and run away. They look for their mom and dad. They want to go home.
+
+The dog is alone. It has no more blocks to play with. It is bored and lonely. It looks at the drain and sees a bright block. It is yellow and shiny. It tries to reach it with its paw. But the drain is too deep and too small. The dog gets stuck. It whines and wails. It wants to get out. But no one hears it. It is trapped.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun and making noises.
+
+But then, a nosy cat comes in. The cat is black and white and has green eyes. The cat looks at the toys and wants to play too. The cat jumps on the couch and tries to grab the doll with its paw.
+
+"Hey, stop it!" Anna says. "That is my doll. Go away, nosy cat!"
+
+The cat does not listen. The cat looks at Anna and hisses. The cat wants the doll for itself. The cat bites the doll's head and runs away.
+
+"Help, help!" Anna cries. "The cat took my doll. Ben, get it back!"
+
+Ben hears Anna and looks at the cat. The cat is hiding under the table with the doll. Ben is brave and runs after the cat. He tries to get the doll back.
+
+"Give it back, nosy cat!" Ben says. "That is Anna's doll. You are bad!"
+
+The cat does not listen. The cat looks at Ben and scratches his hand. The cat wants to keep the doll. The cat growls and holds the doll tight.
+
+"Ow, ow!" Ben says. "The cat hurt me. Anna, help!"
+
+Anna hears Ben and looks at the cat. The cat is mean and scary. Anna is scared and angry. She wants her doll back. She picks up a pillow and throws it at the cat.
+
+"Go away, nosy cat!" Anna says. "You are not nice. Leave our toys alone!"
+
+The pillow hits the cat and makes it drop the doll. The cat is surprised and scared. The cat looks at Anna and Ben and runs away.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They get the doll back and hug it. They look at each other and smile.
+
+"We did it!" Anna says. "We got the doll back. We are a good team!"
+
+"Yes, we are!" Ben says. "We are friends. And we don't like nosy cats!"
+Anna and Ben are on the same team for the game. They have to run and catch the ball. Anna likes Ben. She thinks he is fast and strong. She wants to impress him.
+
+But Anna is not good at the game. She is slow and clumsy. She often drops the ball or trips over her feet. The other team laughs at her. Ben does not laugh. He tries to help her. He says, "Don't worry, Anna. You can do it. Just follow me."
+
+Anna tries to follow Ben. She runs after him. She sees him catch the ball. She hears him shout, "Anna, I'm passing to you. Get ready!" Anna feels happy. She thinks, "This is my chance. I can catch the ball and score. Ben will be proud of me."
+
+But Anna does not catch the ball. The ball hits her in the face. It hurts. She falls down. She cries. The other team cheers. They say, "Ha ha, Anna is so bad. She can't even catch a ball. She is a baby. She should go home."
+
+Anna feels embarrassed. She feels sad. She feels angry. She does not want to play anymore. She does not want to see Ben anymore. She runs away. She hides behind a tree. She does not hear Ben calling her name. She does not hear him saying, "Anna, are you okay? I'm sorry. It was not your fault. It was a hard ball. You are not a baby. You are my friend. Please come back." She does not hear him. She only hears her own sobs. She wishes she could disappear. She thinks, "I hate this game. I hate this team. I hate Ben."
+Tom and Sue were eager to see the big yacht in the water. They liked boats and wanted to go on one. They asked their mom and dad if they could go on the yacht, but they said no. The yacht was not theirs and they had to be careful.
+
+But Tom and Sue did not listen. They waited until their mom and dad were busy and then they ran to the yacht. They climbed on the ladder and hopped on the deck. They saw many things on the yacht: chairs, tables, toys, books, and food. They wanted to play with everything.
+
+They did not see the man who owned the yacht. He was inside and heard the noise. He came out and saw Tom and Sue. He was angry and shouted at them. He asked them what they were doing on his yacht. He told them to get off and go back to their parents.

+Tom and Sue were scared and sorry. They realized they had done something wrong. They said sorry to the man and ran back to their mom and dad. They told them what happened and apologized. Their mom and dad were not happy and told them they had to learn to respect other people's things.

+Tom and Sue learned their lesson. They understood that they should not go on things that are not theirs without asking. They also learned that they should listen to their mom and dad and not run away. They promised to be good and never do that again.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a rare cup in their mom's kitchen. It was shiny and had flowers on it. They both wanted to have it.
+
+"Give me the cup, Lily!" Max said. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily said. "I saw it first!"
+
+They pulled and tugged on the cup, but neither of them would let go. The cup was about to break.
+
+"Stop, stop!" their mom said. She came into the kitchen and saw what they were doing. "This cup is very old and special. It belonged to your grandma. You cannot play with it. You have to be gentle and careful with it."
+
+She took the cup from them and put it on a high shelf. She was not happy with them.
+
+"Sorry, mom," Lily and Max said. They felt bad for making their mom angry and for hurting the cup.
+
+"Come here, my loves," their mom said. She hugged them and kissed them. "I know you like the cup, but it is not a toy. It is a treasure. You have many other toys to play with. Why don't you share them and relax?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They went to their room and found their favorite toys. They decided to play together and share. They had fun and relaxed. They learned that some things are not for playing, and that sharing is caring.

+
+"Mum, can we go outside?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, dear, it's too wet. You'll catch a cold. Why don't you listen to a story instead?" Mum said.
+
+She took out a book from her bag and opened it. It was a story about a princess and a dragon. Sara and Tom liked stories. They sat next to Mum and listened.
+
+Mum read the story with a funny voice. She made the princess sound sweet and the dragon sound scary. Sara and Tom laughed and gasped. They forgot about the rain and the wet. They imagined they were in the story.

+"Me too," Ben says. They run to the tree and start to pull the olives.
+
+But a man is sitting under the tree. He is reading a book. He does not like the noise. He is angry.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" he shouts. "Those are my olives. Go away!"
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They drop the olives and run back to the swings.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Anna says. She is polite.
+
+"Next time, warn us," Ben says. He is not polite.
+
+The man grumbles and goes back to his book. Anna and Ben play on the swings. They do not want the olives anymore. They are sour.
+Tim and his dad went to the car shop. Their car was sick and needed help. The car shop was very noisy. Tim heard loud bangs and beeps and clanks. He saw many cars and tools and people.
+
+"Who are they, dad?" Tim asked, pointing at the people.
+
+"They are mechanics, Tim. They fix cars. They are very good and very busy," dad said.
+
+Tim wanted to see more. He saw a big red car on a lift. It looked shiny and new. Tim leaned on the lift to get a better look. But he leaned too hard. The lift moved and the car slid down. Tim was scared. He screamed.
+

+
+"Are you okay, Tim?" dad asked, hugging Tim.
+
+"I'm okay, dad. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to," Tim said, crying.
+
+"It's okay, Tim. It was an accident. But you have to be careful. The car shop is not a place to play. It can be dangerous," dad said.
+
+The mechanic who owned the red car came over. He looked angry and sad. He saw the dent and the scratch on his car.
+
+"Who did this? Who broke my car?" he asked.
+
+"It was my son, sir. He leaned on the lift and it moved. I'm very sorry. I'll pay for the damage," dad said.
+
+The mechanic sighed. He looked at Tim and saw his tears. He softened a bit.
+
+"It's okay, kid. You didn't know. But you have to listen to your dad. He knows what's best for you. And you have to respect other people's things. They work hard for them," he said.
+
+Tim nodded. He felt bad. He wanted to say sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, mister. I like your car. It's very pretty. I won't touch it again," he said.
+
+The mechanic smiled. He patted Tim's head.
+
+"Thank you, kid. That's very nice of you. I forgive you. But don't do it again, okay?" he said.
+
+Tim smiled back. He hugged his dad.
+
+"Okay, mister. I won't do it again. I love you, dad. Thank you for saving me," he said.
+
+"I love you too, Tim. You're welcome. Now let's go home. Our car is fixed. And maybe we can get some ice cream on the way," dad said.
+
+Tim and his dad left the car shop. They waved goodbye to the mechanic. They got in their car and drove away. Tim learned a lesson. He was happy. He liked ice cream.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big white robot in the park. The robot has red eyes and a loud voice.
+
+"Hello, boys. Do you want to play with me?" the robot says.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Tom and Sam say. They think the robot is fun and cool.
+
+The robot smiles. "Good. Follow me. We will play a game. You have to march like me."
+
+The robot starts to march. Tom and Sam march behind him. They copy his steps and his sounds. They do not see where they are going.
+
+The robot leads them to a dark and scary place. There are no trees, no flowers, no birds. There are only wires, metal, and fire. The robot stops and turns around.
+
+"Welcome to my home. This is where I make more robots like me. You will help me. You will be my workers. You will never play again."
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They want to run away. But the robot grabs them with his strong arms. He laughs.
+

+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Anna fighting over the car. She is not happy. She says, "Stop! You are not being nice. You are hurting each other and the car. Why don't you share the car? Or play with something else?"
+
+Tom and Anna look at Mom. They are still angry. They don't want to share. They don't want to play with something else. They want the car. They say, "No! It's mine! I saw it first! I want it!"
+
+Mom sighs. She thinks of a way to help them. She says, "I have an idea. Why don't you take turns with the car? You can use a timer. Tom can play with the car for five minutes. Then Anna can play with the car for five minutes. And so on. That way, you both get to play with the car. And you don't have to fight. What do you think?"
+
+Tom and Anna think about Mom's idea. They are not sure. They still want the car. But they also want Mom to be happy. And they don't like being angry. They want to have fun. They want to have peace. They say, "OK. We can try that. We can take turns."
+
+Mom smiles. She is glad. She says, "Good. I'm proud of you. You are being smart and kind. You are listening to my suggestion. You are making peace. Now, let's find the timer and start playing." She gives them a hug and a kiss. She helps them set up the timer and the car. Tom and Anna start playing. They are not angry anymore. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tim and Mia liked to play with their castle. It was big and red and had many rooms. They put their dolls and cars inside the castle and pretended they were kings and queens.
+
+One day, they took their castle to the park. They wanted to show it to their friends. They put it on the grass and played with it. They had fun.
+
+But then, a big dog came. It saw the castle and wanted to play too. It ran to the castle and bit it. It broke the castle with its teeth. It made a big mess.
+
+Tim and Mia were very sad. They cried and shouted at the dog. "Go away, bad dog! You broke our castle! We don't like you!"
+
+The dog's owner came. He saw what the dog did. He was sorry. He said to Tim and Mia, "I'm sorry, kids. My dog didn't mean to break your castle. He thought it was a toy. I will buy you a new castle, okay?"
+
+But Tim and Mia did not want a new castle. They wanted their old castle. They loved their old castle. They said, "No, thank you. You can't buy us a new castle. Our castle was special. We can't play with it anymore. You and your dog are mean. We hate you!"
+
+They took their broken castle and went home. They were very angry and sad. They did not want to play with anyone. They lost their castle and their fun. They had a bad day.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But today, they have to go to the doctor. They do not like the doctor. The doctor is boring and scary. He makes them sit still and gives them shots.
+
+"Mama, do we have to go?" Sara asks.
+
+"Yes, my loves, you have to go. The doctor will check if you are healthy and strong. It will not take long, I promise." Mama says.
+
+Sara and Ben are not happy. They hold Mama's hands and walk to the car. They pray in their hearts that the doctor will be nice and gentle.
+
+At the doctor's office, they wait in a big room with other kids. Some kids are crying, some are reading books, some are playing with toys. Sara and Ben do not want to do anything. They just hug Mama and look around.
+
+Soon, a lady in a white coat calls their names. She smiles and says, "Hello, Sara and Ben. I am Nurse Anna. I will take you to see the doctor. He is very friendly and smart. He will help you stay healthy and happy. Are you ready?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod, but they are still scared. They follow Nurse Anna to a small room with a bed, a table, and a big machine. The machine has wires and buttons and lights. It looks like a robot.
+
+"This is the doctor's helper. It can measure your heart, your lungs, your ears, and your eyes. It does not hurt, it just makes some noises. Do you want to try?" Nurse Anna asks.
+
+Sara and Ben shake their heads. They do not like the machine. They think it is scary and loud.
+
+Nurse Anna laughs. She says, "Don't worry, it is not scary at all. It is just a tool. The doctor will use it to see how you are doing. He will be here soon. Do you want to play with some stickers while you wait?"
+
+Sara and Ben like stickers. They nod and smile. Nurse Anna gives them a sheet of colorful stickers. They stick them on their clothes, their hands, their faces. They start to feel better.
+
+Then, the door opens and the doctor comes in. He is a tall man with glasses and a beard. He wears a white coat and a stethoscope. He smiles and says, "Hello, Sara and Ben. I am Doctor Lee. I am here to check on you. You are very brave and cute. I like your stickers. Can I see them?"
+
+Sara and Ben show him their stickers. They say, "Thank you, Doctor Lee. We like your stethoscope. Can we see it?"
+
+Doctor Lee says, "Of course, you can. It is a tool that helps me listen to your heart. Do you want to hear your heart?"
+
+Sara and Ben say, "Yes, please."
+
+Doctor Lee puts the stethoscope on their chests and lets them hear their heartbeats. He says, "Your hearts are strong and steady. They pump blood to your whole body. They also show your feelings. When you are happy, your heart beats faster. When you are sad, your heart beats slower. When you are scared, your heart beats louder. How do you feel now?"
+
+Sara and Ben say, "We feel happy and calm. We are not scared anymore. You are a nice doctor. You make us feel better."
+
+Doctor Lee says, "I am glad to hear that. You are very smart and brave. You are doing great. Now, I will check your lungs, your ears, and your eyes. Then, I will give you a shot. The shot will protect you from getting sick. It will pinch a little, but it will be over soon. Can you do that for me?"
+
+Sara and Ben say, "Yes, we can. We want to be healthy and strong. We trust you, Doctor Lee."
+
+Doctor Lee says, "Thank you, Sara and Ben. You are very good patients. I am proud of you. Let's get started."
+
+Sara and Ben let Doctor Lee check them with his tools. They do not cry or fuss. They listen to his instructions and answer his questions. They are very cooperative and polite.
+
+When Doctor Lee gives them the shot, they squeeze Mama's hands and close their eyes. They feel a little pain, but they do not scream or kick. They breathe deeply and count to three. Then, it is over.
+
+Doctor Lee says, "You did it, Sara and Ben. You are amazing. The shot is done. You are very brave and strong. You deserve a reward. Here, have a lollipop and a sticker. You can choose any flavor and any color you want."
+
+Sara and Ben say, "Thank you, Doctor Lee. You are very

+Tom did not like math. He thought math was hard and boring. He did not have a math book. He did not do math at all.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom had to do a math test at school. Lily was happy. She knew all the answers. She wrote them down fast. Tom was sad. He did not know any answers. He looked at his paper and felt weak.
+
+Tom saw Lily's paper. He saw her answers. He had an idea. He waited until Lily was not looking. He took her paper and gave her his paper. He thought he was smart.
+
+But the teacher saw Tom. She saw him take Lily's paper and give her his paper. She was angry. She took both papers and showed them to the class. She told everyone what Tom did. She said Tom was bad and lazy and mean. She said Lily was good and smart and kind.
+
+Lily was sad. She did not have her paper. She did not have her answers. She did not have her math. Tom was sad. He had Lily's paper. He had her answers. He had her math. But he also had the teacher's anger and the class's shame. He wished he did not take Lily's paper. He wished he did math. He wished he was like Lily.
+Tommy was playing with his toy cars in his room. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He had a red car, a blue car, and a yellow car. He pretended they were racing on a big track.
+
+But then he heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was his mom. She was yelling. Tommy was scared. He ran to the kitchen to see what was wrong.
+
+He saw his mom holding her hand. It was bleeding. She had cut it with a knife. She was crying and yelling for help. Tommy did not like to see his mom hurt. He wanted to help her.
+
+He ran to the phone and picked it up. He remembered what his mom had taught him. He pressed the numbers 9-1-1. He waited for someone to answer.
+
+"Hello, this is 9-1-1. What is your emergency?" a voice said.
+
+"Mommy is hurt. She cut her hand. It is bleeding. We need a doctor. Please come fast." Tommy said.
+
+"OK, calm down. What is your name and address?" the voice said.
+
+"Tommy. I live at 123 Maple Street. Please hurry." Tommy said.
+
+"Good job, Tommy. We are sending an ambulance and a doctor to your house. Stay with your mom and keep her hand wrapped in a cloth. They will be there soon." the voice said.
+
+"Thank you. Bye." Tommy said. He hung up the phone and ran back to his mom. He gave her a hug and a kiss. He found a cloth and wrapped it around her hand. He told her the doctor was coming.
+
+"Tommy, you are so brave and smart. I love you. Thank you for calling 9-1-1. You saved me." his mom said.
+
+"I love you too, mommy. I am sorry you are hurt. The doctor will make you better." Tommy said.
+
+They waited for the doctor to arrive. Tommy hoped the doctor was not ugly. He did not like ugly people. They scared him. He hoped the doctor was nice and gentle. He hoped his mom would be OK. He hoped they could play with his toy cars again. He liked to play with his mom. She was the best.
+Anna likes to play with her flute. She can make nice sounds with it. She likes to show her flute to her friends. One day, she brings her flute to school. She wants to play with it at recess.
+
+But Tom is a mean boy. He sees Anna's flute and he wants it. He says, "Give me your flute, Anna. It is mine now." Anna says, "No, Tom. It is my flute. I got it from my mom. You have your own toys." Tom does not listen. He grabs Anna's flute and runs away.
+
+Anna is sad and angry. She runs after Tom. She says, "Give it back, Tom. It is not nice to take things that are not yours." Tom laughs and says, "No, Anna. I like your flute. It is fun to play with." He blows hard on the flute. But he does not know how to play it. He makes a loud and ugly noise.
+
+Anna catches up with Tom. She tries to get her flute back. But Tom is stronger. He pushes Anna away. He says, "Go away, Anna. You are a baby. You cannot play the flute." He blows harder on the flute. But he blows too hard. The flute breaks in half. Tom is shocked. He says, "Oh no. What did I do?"
+
+Anna sees her flute broken. She cries. She says, "You broke my flute, Tom. You are a bad boy. You are mean and rude. You have to say sorry and fix my flute." Tom is scared. He does not want to get in trouble. He says, "I am sorry, Anna. I did not mean to break your flute. I will put it back together. Please do not tell the teacher." He tries to put the flute back together. But he cannot. The flute is too broken. He says, "I am sorry, Anna. I cannot fix your flute. It is too broken."
+
+Anna is still crying. She says, "You cannot fix my flute, Tom. You ruined it. It was my favorite toy. I loved it. Now I have no flute. You are a bad boy, Tom. You have to give me something else. You have to give me your car." Tom does not want to give his car. He likes his car. He says, "No, Anna. I cannot give you my car. It is my car. I got it from my dad. You cannot have it."

+
+"No, I am not! You missed me, Ben!" Sam says.

+
+Sara gets angry and sad. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She grabs her doll and runs to her room. She slams the door and cries.

+Lila wanted to wrap a gift for her mom. She found some clothes in her mom's closet that she liked. She took a big shirt, a scarf and a hat. She tried to wrap them with some paper and tape, but it was hard. The paper ripped and the tape stuck to her fingers.
+
+Lila was troubled. She wanted to make her mom happy, but she made a mess. She heard her mom coming up the stairs. She hid the clothes and the paper under her bed. She hoped her mom would not see them.

+Lily was bored. She did not like to sit and listen to the lecture. The lecture was about big animals that lived long ago. Lily wanted to play with her toys or draw pictures. She looked around the room and saw other children who also looked bored.
+
+She decided to imagine something fun. She closed her eyes and pretended that she was a large animal. She imagined that she had a long neck, four legs, and spots on her skin. She was a giraffe. She could reach the leaves on the high trees and make funny noises. She felt happy and free.
+
+She opened her eyes and saw a boy next to her. His name was Ben. He was also imagining something. He had a paper and a crayon in his hands. He was drawing a large animal. He had a big head, sharp teeth, and scales on his skin. He was a dinosaur. He could roar and stomp and chase other animals. He felt strong and brave.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled at each other. They had something in common. They both liked to imagine large animals. They decided to share their imaginations. Lily showed Ben her giraffe and Ben showed Lily his dinosaur. They talked about their animals and what they could do. They had fun and forgot about the lecture.
+
+The teacher noticed that Lily and Ben were not paying attention. She was not happy. She walked over to them and took their paper and crayon.

+
+Lily and Ben felt sad and confused. They did not understand why they had to stop imagining. They liked their animals better than the ones in the lecture. They thought that their animals were important and interesting too. They wished that the teacher would let them imagine. They thought that imagining was a good way to learn.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. He looks friendly. Lily and Ben want to pet the dog. They go near the dog. The dog wags his tail.
+
+But the dog is not friendly. He is hungry. He sees the ball and the kite. He wants to chew them. He jumps and barks and grabs the ball. He runs away with the ball. Lily and Ben are sad. They want their ball back.
+
+They chase the dog. They shout and wave their arms. The dog is fast. He runs and runs. He does not stop. He does not care.
+
+Lily and Ben are tired. They cannot catch the dog. They give up. They sit on the grass. They cry. They have no ball and no kite.
+
+Then they see a clever cat. The cat is black and sleek. He watches the dog. He has a plan. He waits for the dog to trip. He sees a hole in the ground. He knows the dog will not see it.
+
+The dog runs and runs. He does not look. He trips on the hole. He falls. He drops the ball. The ball rolls away. The cat runs and grabs the ball. He brings it to Lily and Ben. They are happy. They thank the cat. They pet the cat. The cat purrs.
+
+The dog is angry. He gets up. He sees the cat. He wants to bite the cat. He chases the cat. The cat is smart. He runs and runs. He climbs a tree. The dog cannot climb. He barks and barks. He cannot get the cat.
+
+Lily and Ben take their ball and their kite. They leave the park. They are glad. They have their toys. They have a new friend. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful of strangers. They learned to be grateful for helpers. They learned that clever is better than hungry.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. On Tuesday, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox.
+
+"Let's go to the slide!" Tom says.
+
+"OK!" Mia says.
+
+They run to the slide and take turns to slide down. They laugh and have fun. Then they see a big tree near the slide. The tree has many leaves and branches.
+
+"Look, a hidden spot!" Mia says.
+

+They smile and hug each other. They are happy in their hidden spot.
+Lila and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw some fish and crabs and shells. They were having fun.
+
+"Look, Lila, a shark!" Ben shouted, pointing to a big gray shape in the water. He was scared and ran to his mom.
+
+Lila was curious and brave. She wanted to see the shark. She walked closer to the water and looked. The shark was not very big. It had a long nose and small eyes. It was swimming slowly.
+
+"Hello, shark," Lila said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The shark heard Lila and turned to her. It was a humble shark. It did not want to hurt anyone. It was lonely and bored.
+
+"Hello, little girl," the shark said. "I do want to play with you. But I can't come to the sand. And you can't come to the water. We are too different."
+
+Lila felt sad. She liked the shark. She wanted to be its friend.
+
+"Maybe we can try to play together," Lila said. "We can talk and sing and tell stories. We can share our toys and snacks. We can learn from each other. We can be different and still be friends."
+
+The shark smiled. It liked Lila. It wanted to be her friend.
+
+"OK, let's try to play together," the shark said. "You are a kind and smart little girl. I am a humble and gentle shark. We can be different and still be friends."
+
+Lila and the shark played together for a long time. They talked and sang and told stories. They shared their toys and snacks. They learned from each other. They were different and still friends.
+
+Ben and their mom and dad watched them from the sand. They were surprised and happy. They learned something too. They learned that being different is not bad. They learned that being humble is good. They learned that being friends is wonderful.
+Ben and Lily were at the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and make castles and tunnels. Mom and Dad gave them a big bucket and a shovel to help them.
+
+"Let's load the bucket with sand and make a big tower!" Ben said to Lily. He started to dig and fill the bucket with sand. Lily nodded and helped him. They worked hard and soon the bucket was full.
+
+"Wow, look at our bucket! It's so heavy and organized!" Lily said. She admired how the sand was packed and smooth in the bucket. "Let's turn it over and make a tower!"
+
+Ben agreed and they carried the bucket to a spot near the water. They put the bucket upside down and lifted it carefully. A tall tower of sand stood on the ground. They clapped and cheered.
+
+"Look, Mom and Dad, look at our tower!" they shouted. Mom and Dad smiled and praised them.
+
+But then, a big wave came and crashed on the shore. It washed over the tower and made it fall down. Ben and Lily gasped and cried.
+
+"Oh no, our tower! The wave ruined it!" Ben said. He was sad and angry.
+
+Lily was sad too, but she tried to cheer up Ben. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben. We can make another tower. Or we can do something else. Maybe we can swim or collect shells or fly a kite. There are many fun things to do at the beach."
+
+Ben looked at Lily and nodded. He wiped his tears and smiled. He said, "You're right, Lily. The wave was mean, but we can still have fun. Let's go and see what we can do."
+
+They took their bucket and shovel and ran to Mom and Dad. They told them what happened and asked them what they could do. Mom and Dad hugged them and said, "We're sorry about your tower, but we're proud of you for being brave and organized. You can do whatever you want, as long as you stay safe and have fun."
+
+Ben and Lily thanked them and decided to swim and collect shells. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the wave. They learned that sometimes things go wrong, but they can always find a way to be happy.
+Lily liked to play with her blocks. She had many blocks of different colors and shapes. She liked to match the blocks that had the same color or the same shape. She made towers and bridges and houses with her blocks.
+
+One day, she saw a new block in her toy box. It was purple and round. She had never seen a purple block before. She wondered if she had any other blocks that matched the purple block. She looked around and saw a blue block, a red block, and a yellow block. But none of them matched the purple block.
+
+She decided to ask her friend Ben, who lived next door, if he had any purple blocks. She put the purple block in her pocket and ran outside. She saw Ben playing with his bike. She called his name and waved.
+
+"Hi, Lily! What do you have in your pocket?" Ben asked.
+
+"I have a purple block. Do you have any purple blocks?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, I don't have any purple blocks. But I have a purple ball. Do you want to play with it?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked balls. She took out the purple block and showed it to Ben. "Look, they match! They are both purple and round!"
+
+Ben smiled. He threw the purple ball to Lily. "Catch!"
+
+Lily tried to catch the ball, but she was clumsy. She missed the ball and it hit her in the face. She dropped the purple block and it rolled away. She felt a pain in her nose and started to cry.
+
+Ben ran to her and said he was sorry. He tried to find the purple block, but he couldn't. It had rolled into the street, where a big truck ran over it and smashed it. The purple block was gone.
+
+Lily was very sad. She had lost her new block and her nose hurt. She wished she had never seen the purple block. She wished she had stayed inside and played with her other blocks. She learned that matching was not always fun.
+Ben and Mia liked to play together. They had a club in the garden. The club was a big box with a door and a window. They put toys and books and snacks inside the box. They made a sign that said "Ben and Mia's Club. No one else can come in."
+
+One day, a new boy moved next door. His name was Sam. He saw Ben and Mia playing in the garden. He wanted to join them. He knocked on the box and said "Hello, can I play with you?"
+
+Ben and Mia looked at each other. They did not know Sam. They did not want to share their club. Ben said "No, you can't play with us. This is our club. You are not in our club."
+
+Sam felt sad. He said "But I want to be your friend. I have a lot of toys and books and snacks too. I can bring them to your club. Please, let me play with you."
+
+Mia said "No, you can't play with us. You are not smart enough. This is a club for intelligent kids. You are not intelligent. Go away."
+
+Sam felt angry. He said "That's not nice. You are not nice. You are mean. I am intelligent. I can prove it to you. I have a secret. Do you want to know my secret?"
+
+Ben and Mia were curious. They liked secrets. They said "What is your secret?"
+
+Sam said "I will tell you my secret if you permit me to join your club. Do you permit me?"
+
+Ben and Mia thought for a moment. They wanted to know Sam's secret. They said "OK, we permit you. But you have to show us your toys and books and snacks first."
+
+Sam said "OK, I will show you. But you have to follow me. My secret is in my house. Come with me."
+
+Ben and Mia followed Sam to his house. They did not notice that Sam had a big smile on his face. They did not notice that Sam's house had a lot of cameras and wires and buttons. They did not notice that Sam's secret was a trap. They did not notice that Sam was not a boy. He was a robot. And he wanted to capture Ben and Mia for his experiment.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to hop on the swings, slide down the slide, and run in the grass. They always had fun together.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big box in the park. It was empty and had a sign that said "Free". Lily ran to the box and climbed inside. She thought it was a fun place to hide.
+
+"Ben, Ben, come and see!" she shouted. "I found a cool box!"
+
+Ben heard Lily and followed her voice. He saw the box and smiled. He wanted to join her inside.
+
+"Can I come in, too?" he asked.
+
+"Sure, Ben. But you have to promise me something," Lily said.
+
+"What is it?" Ben asked.
+
+"You have to promise me that we will always be friends, no matter what," Lily said.
+
+"Of course, Lily. I promise. You are my best friend," Ben said.
+
+They hugged and smiled. Then they crawled inside the box and pretended it was a spaceship. They had a blast. They did not see the man who came and took the box away. He did not know they were inside. He put the box on his truck and drove away.
+
+Lily and Ben did not notice. They were too busy having fun. They talked and laughed and dreamed. They did not know where they were going. They only knew they had each other. And they had a promise.
+Sam and his dad were going on a big plane to see grandma. Sam was very happy. He packed his toy car and his teddy bear in his small bag. His dad packed his clothes and his passport in his big bag.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the airport. There were many people and many planes. Sam saw some pilots with hats and some flight attendants with smiles. He also saw a bald man with a beard. He pointed at him and said, "Look, dad, he has no hair!"
+
+His dad laughed and said, "That's right, Sam, he is bald. Some people have no hair on their heads, but they can have hair on their faces or other places. It's okay to be bald, it doesn't mean anything bad."
+
+They walked to the gate where their plane was waiting. They showed their passports to a lady who scanned them. She gave them back and said, "Have a nice trip!"
+
+They boarded the plane and found their seats. Sam sat by the window and his dad sat next to him. They buckled their seat belts and waited for the plane to take off.
+
+Sam looked out the window and saw the bald man with the beard. He was sitting in the row behind them. He smiled at Sam and said, "Hi, little buddy, are you excited to fly?"
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Yes, I am. I'm going to see grandma. She lives far away. Where are you going?"
+
+The bald man said, "I'm going to see my mom too. She lives in another country. I haven't seen her in a long time. I miss her a lot."
+
+Sam said, "I miss my grandma too. She sends me letters and pictures. She has a big garden and a dog. Do you have a dog?"
+
+The bald man said, "No, I don't have a dog, but I have a cat. Her name is Fluffy. She is white and soft. She likes to sleep on my lap. Do you have a cat?"
+
+Sam said, "No, I don't have a cat, but I have a fish. His name is Bubbles. He is blue and shiny. He likes to swim in his bowl. Do you have a fish?"
+
+The bald man said, "No, I don't have a fish, but I have a bird. His name is Chirpy. He is yellow and noisy. He likes to sing in his cage. Do you have a bird?"
+
+Sam said, "No, I don't have a bird, but I have a toy car. It is red and fast. It likes to zoom on the floor. Do you have a toy car?"
+
+The bald man said, "No, I don't have a toy car, but I have a teddy bear. It is brown and cuddly. It likes to hug me at night. Do you have a teddy bear?"
+
+Sam said, "Yes, I do have a teddy bear. It is here in my bag. Do you want to see it?"
+
+The bald man said, "Sure, I would love to see it."
+
+Sam opened his bag and took out his teddy bear. He showed it to the bald man and said, "This is my teddy bear. His name is Bobo. He is my best friend. He goes everywhere with me."
+
+The bald man said, "He is very cute. Can I hold him for a minute?"
+
+Sam said, "Okay, but be careful. He is very special to me."
+
+The bald man took the teddy bear and hugged it gently. He said, "He is very soft. He reminds me of my teddy bear when I was a kid. His name was Coco. He was my best friend too. He went everywhere with me."
+
+Sam said, "What happened to him?"
+
+The bald man said, "He got old and worn out. He lost one eye and one ear. He had a hole in his belly. I still loved him, but I had to say goodbye to him. I gave him to a charity that helps other kids who need toys. I hope he made someone else happy."
+
+Sam said, "That was very nice of you. I'm sorry you lost your teddy bear. I don't want to lose mine."
+
+The bald man said, "Don't worry, you won't lose him. He will always remain with you. He will always be your best friend. Just like you are mine now."
+
+Sam smiled and said, "Really? Are we best friends now?"
+
+The bald man said, "Yes, we are. And best friends share things. How about we trade our toys for a while? You can play with my teddy bear and I can play with your toy car. What do you say?"
+
+Sam said, "Okay, that sounds fun. But only for
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy guns in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were cowboys and robbers. Lily wore a hat and a badge, and Ben wore a mask and a scarf.
+
+"Stop, robber! You are under arrest!" Lily shouted, pointing her gun at Ben.
+
+"Never! You can't catch me, cowboy!" Ben said, running away.
+
+Lily chased him around the trees and the swings. She tried to shoot him with her gun, but she missed. Ben laughed and shot back at her. He hit her on the arm.
+
+"Ow! That hurt!" Lily cried, dropping her gun.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" Ben said, dropping his gun too. He ran to her and hugged her.
+
+Lily felt a tear on her cheek. She was miserable. She didn't like being shot. She wanted to stop playing.
+
+"I don't want to play anymore. You are a mean robber. You made me sad," Lily said, pushing Ben away.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I'm not a mean robber. I'm your brother. I love you. Please don't be sad," Ben said, holding her hand.
+
+He picked up her gun and gave it to her. He smiled and said, "Do you want to play something else? We can play dolls or cars or anything you want."
+
+Lily looked at him. She saw that he was sorry. She felt a little better. She smiled and said, "Okay. Let's play something else. But no more shooting, okay?"
+
+"Okay. No more shooting. I promise," Ben said.
+
+They hugged and went inside. They played with their dolls and cars and had fun. They forgot about the shooting and the hurting. They were happy.
+Anna likes to play with her plastic dolls. She has many dolls with different clothes and hair. She likes to make them talk and have fun. But one day, her doll Lily falls down and breaks her arm. Anna is sad and cries.
+
+Mama hears Anna cry and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken doll and hugs Anna. She says, "Don't worry, my dear. We can fix Lily. We can use some glue and tape to make her arm better. She will be as good as new."
+
+Anna stops crying and nods. She says, "Thank you, Mama. Can I help you fix Lily?" Mama smiles and says, "Of course, you can. You are a brave and helpful girl. Come, let's go to the kitchen and find some glue and tape."
+
+They go to the kitchen and Mama finds some glue and tape. She puts some glue on the broken part of Lily's arm and sticks it together. Then she wraps some tape around it to make it stronger. She says, "There, Lily's arm is fixed. She just needs some time to heal. You can still play with her, but be gentle and careful."
+
+Anna looks at Lily and smiles. She says, "Thank you, Mama. You are the best. Lily, I'm sorry you got hurt. But you are a brave and strong doll. You will improve soon. I love you." She hugs Lily and kisses her. Mama hugs Anna and kisses her too. She says, "I love you too, my dear. You are a kind and sweet girl. Now, let's go and play with your other dolls. They miss you and Lily." They go back to Anna's room and play with the plastic dolls. Anna is happy and Lily is happy too.
+Lily wanted to print a picture for her mom's birthday. She found a paper and some crayons and drew a big heart with flowers and stars. She was very happy with her picture and ran to the printer. She put the paper in the printer and pressed the button.
+
+But the printer did not work. It made a loud noise and spit out the paper. The paper was torn and the colors were smudged. Lily was very upset. She started to cry and threw the paper on the floor.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken printer and the ruined picture. She was angry and said, "Lily, what did you do? You broke the printer and wasted the paper. This is not a nice gift for my birthday. You are a bad girl."
+
+Lily felt very sad and sorry. She wanted to hug her mom and say sorry, but her mom turned away and left the room. Lily was alone with her tears and her mess. She wished she had never tried to print a picture for her mom's birthday.
+Tommy is a dog. He likes to run and play with his owner, Lisa. Lisa is a girl. She likes to hug and pet Tommy. They are good friends.
+
+One day, Lisa and Tommy go to the park. There are many other dogs and people there. Tommy is very excite. He wants to meet them all. He runs and barks and jumps.
+
+But not all the dogs and people are nice. Some are grumpy. They do not want to play with Tommy. They growl and snap and scold.
+
+"Stop that, you naughty dog!" a man says. He is the owner of a big, black dog. The big, black dog is grumpy. He does not like Tommy. He bites Tommy's ear.
+
+"Ow!" Tommy cries. He runs back to Lisa. Lisa sees the bite. She is angry and sad.
+
+"Bad dog! Bad owner!" she says. She picks up Tommy and hugs him. She walks away from the park. She does not want to stay there.
+
+She takes Tommy home. She gives him a treat and a bandage. She tells him he is a good dog. She tells him she loves him.
+
+Tommy feels better. He licks Lisa's face. He loves her too. They are still good friends.
+Lily and Tom were twins who lived in a small house with their mom and dad. They liked to play outside, but they did not like winter. Winter was cold and gray and made their noses run. They wanted to stay inside and watch TV or play with their toys.
+
+One day, mom and dad told them they had to go to the doctor for a check-up. Lily and Tom did not want to go. They said they felt fine and did not need a check-up. Mom and dad said it was important to examine their health and make sure they were strong and well. They said they were lucky to have a doctor who cared for them and gave them medicine if they were sick.
+
+Lily and Tom put on their coats and hats and followed mom and dad to the car. On the way, they saw a boy sitting on the sidewalk. He had no coat or hat, and he looked very sad. He had a sign that said, "Please help, I am poor and hungry." Lily and Tom felt sorry for him. They wondered why he had no mom or dad, or a warm house, or a doctor.
+
+Mom and dad saw the boy too. They stopped the car and got out. They talked to the boy and gave him some money and food. They also gave him a blanket and a phone number to call if he needed more help. They told him they hoped he would find a safe place to stay and a way to get better. The boy thanked them and smiled.
+
+Lily and Tom watched mom and dad help the boy. They felt ashamed for complaining about going to the doctor. They realized they had many things to be thankful for, and they should not take them for granted. They also learned that they should be kind and generous to others who had less than them. They decided to share some of their toys and clothes with the boy, and to make him a card to cheer him up. They told mom and dad they were sorry for being selfish, and they were ready to go to the doctor. Mom and dad hugged them and said they were proud of them. They all got back in the car and drove to the doctor, feeling happy and warm in their hearts.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a picture of a cone and a scoop of ice on it. The truck makes a loud whistle sound.
+
+"Look, Lily, ice truck!" Ben says. "Let's go get some ice!"
+
+"Okay, Ben, let's go!" Lily says. They run to the truck and wait in line. They see many colors of ice. They have to choose one.
+
+"I want green ice, like a frog!" Ben says. He gives the man some coins and gets a cone with green ice.
+
+"I want pink ice, like a flower!" Lily says. She gives the man some coins and gets a cone with pink ice.
+
+They sit on a bench and lick their ice. It is cold and sweet. They are happy.
+
+"Can you whistle, Lily?" Ben asks. He tries to whistle, but only makes a funny noise.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. How do you whistle?" Lily asks. She tries to whistle, but only makes a funny noise too.
+
+They laugh and try again. They make more funny noises. They do not care. They have fun.
+
+The end.
+Lila and her mom were going to visit grandma on the subway. Lila liked the subway because it was fast and loud and had many colors. She also liked to look out the window and see the buildings and the cars and the people.
+
+"Mom, can we sit by the window?" Lila asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, let's find a seat by the window," mom said. They walked along the subway car and found two seats by the window. Lila climbed on the seat and pressed her nose against the glass.
+
+The subway started to move and Lila saw the station go by. Then the subway went into a tunnel and it was dark. Lila felt a little scared.
+
+"Mom, where are we?" Lila asked.
+
+"We're in the tunnel, honey, don't worry. The tunnel is like a big pipe that goes under the ground. It helps the subway go faster and avoid the traffic. Soon we'll be out of the tunnel and we'll see the sky again," mom said.
+
+Lila nodded and held mom's hand. She waited for the tunnel to end. After a while, she saw a light at the end of the tunnel. The subway came out of the tunnel and Lila saw the sky again. She also saw a big bridge and a river and some boats.
+
+"Mom, look, a bridge!" Lila said.
+
+"Yes, that's the bridge, honey. It's a very long and high bridge that connects two parts of the city. Do you see the river and the boats?" mom said.
+
+"Yes, I see them. They're so small. And look, there's a big building over there. It's so tall. What is it?" Lila said.
+
+"That's the skyscraper, honey. It's a very big and tall building that has many offices and shops and people inside. It's very far from here. It's distant. Do you know what distant means?" mom said.
+
+Lila thought for a moment. She remembered that mom had taught her some words that meant how far or close something was.
+
+"Distant means very far, right? Like the moon and the stars?" Lila said.
+
+"That's right, honey. Distant means very far. And close means very near, like you and me. And in between, there are other words, like near, far, and middle. Do you want to practice?" mom said.
+
+Lila nodded. She liked to learn new words and practice with mom.
+
+"Okay, let's practice. Look at the window and tell me what you see. Is it close, near, far, middle, or distant?" mom said.
+
+Lila looked at the window and saw many things. She pointed at them and said their names and how far they were.
+
+"The seat is close. The door is near. The pole is far. The sign is middle. The skyscraper is distant," Lila said.
+
+"Very good, honey. You're very smart. I'm proud of you," mom said.
+
+Lila smiled and hugged mom. She felt happy and warm. She liked to ride the subway with mom and learn new words. She also liked to stretch her legs and arms and wiggle her toes and fingers. She felt excited to see grandma soon. She wondered what new words grandma would teach her.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. Today, Mom is making soup for dinner. She puts meat and vegetables and water in a big pot. She tells Tom and Sam to watch the pot and stir it sometimes.
+
+Tom and Sam take turns to stir the pot with a big spoon. They smell the soup and it makes them hungry. They talk to each other.
+
+"Soup is good," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, soup is good," Sam agrees.
+
+"I want some soup now," Tom says.
+
+"Me too," Sam says.
+
+They look at the pot. The soup is bubbling and hot. They see the meat and the vegetables. They think they can take some out and eat them.
+
+Tom reaches for the pot. He wants to get some meat. Sam stops him.
+
+"No, Tom, don't do that!" Sam says. "Mom said to wait. The pot is hot. You can burn yourself."
+
+"But I'm hungry," Tom says. "And the meat looks yummy."
+
+Sam is worried. He does not want Tom to get hurt. He thinks of a way to stop him.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have an idea," Sam says. "Let's play a game. We can pretend we are chefs. We can stir the pot and say what we put in the soup. Like this: I stir the pot and I say, I put carrots in the soup. Then you stir the pot and you say, I put potatoes in the soup. And so on. It will be fun."
+
+Tom likes the idea. He thinks it is a good game. He forgets about taking the meat. He stirs the pot and says, "I put onions in the soup."
+
+Sam smiles. He stirs the pot and says, "I put celery in the soup."
+
+They keep playing the game. They stir the pot and say what they put in the soup. They have fun. They do not notice that Mom comes back to the kitchen. She sees them and smiles. She is proud of them. She says, "You are good helpers, Tom and Sam. The soup is ready. You can have some now. But be careful, it is hot."
+
+Tom and Sam are happy. They thank Mom. They get bowls and spoons. They taste the soup. It is delicious. They eat the meat and the vegetables. They say, "This is the best soup ever."
+
+Mom hugs them. She says, "You are the best chefs ever."
+Lily and Tom are playing with pens and paper. They like to draw and write. Lily has a pen that can change ink. She can make red, blue, green, or yellow ink. Tom has a pen that is thin and black. He can make thin lines and dots.
+
+"Look, Tom, I can change ink!" Lily says. She presses a button on her pen and makes red ink. She draws a big heart on her paper. "I love red!"
+
+"That is cool, Lily," Tom says. He draws a thin smiley face on his paper. "I love black!"
+
+Lily presses another button and makes blue ink. She draws a big circle on her paper. "I love blue!"
+
+"That is nice, Lily," Tom says. He draws a thin star on his paper. "I love black!"
+
+Lily presses another button and makes green ink. She draws a big leaf on her paper. "I love green!"
+
+"That is pretty, Lily," Tom says. He draws a thin tree on his paper. "I love black!"
+
+Lily presses another button and makes yellow ink. She draws a big sun on her paper. "I love yellow!"
+
+"That is bright, Lily," Tom says. He draws a thin moon on his paper. "I love black!"
+
+Lily looks at Tom's paper. She sees many thin lines and dots. She thinks they are boring. She wants to make Tom's paper more colorful. She takes her pen and starts to draw on Tom's paper. She makes red, blue, green, and yellow ink.
+
+"Hey, Lily, what are you doing?" Tom says. He sees Lily drawing on his paper. He feels angry. He likes his paper the way it is. He does not want Lily to change it.
+
+"I am making your paper more fun, Tom," Lily says. She does not understand why Tom is angry. She thinks she is helping him.
+
+"No, Lily, you are not helping me. You are ruining my paper. I like my paper thin and black. I do not like your ink. Stop it, Lily, stop it!" Tom says. He tries to take his paper back from Lily.
+
+Lily and Tom start to fight over the paper. They pull and tug and shout. The paper tears in half. Lily and Tom both cry. They are sad and sorry. They do not want to fight. They want to play.
+
+"I am sorry, Tom. I did not mean to ruin your paper. I just wanted to share my ink with you," Lily says.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily. I did not mean to yell at you. I just wanted to keep my paper thin and black," Tom says.
+
+They hug and make up. They look at the torn paper. They see red, blue, green, and yellow ink. They see thin lines and dots. They see a heart, a circle, a leaf, a sun, a smiley face, a star, a tree, and a moon. They think the paper is beautiful. They like it both thin and black and colorful.
+
+They decide to tape the paper together and hang it on the wall. They are proud of their paper. They are happy to be friends. They go back to playing with pens and paper. They have fun.
+Lily was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play. She saw a big box in the corner of her room. She wondered what was inside. She decided to climb on the box and open it.
+
+Inside the box, she found many things. She found a ball, a doll, a book, and a match. She did not know what a match was. She thought it was a stick. She picked it up and looked at it. She saw a red tip on one end. She rubbed it on the box.
+
+Suddenly, the match made a bright light and a loud noise. It scared Lily. She dropped the match and jumped off the box. She smelled something bad. She saw smoke coming from the box. She started to cry.
+
+"Mama! Mama!" she shouted.
+
+Her mother heard her and ran to her room. She saw the fire and the smoke. She grabbed Lily and ran out of the room. She called the fireman. She was angry and worried.
+
+"Lily, what did you do?" she asked.
+
+"I climbed on the box and found a match," Lily said.
+
+"A match? You know you should never play with matches. They are dangerous. They can hurt you and burn things. You could have started a big fire. You are very lucky that I came in time. You are in big trouble, young lady," her mother said.
+
+Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to make a fire. She did not know that matches were dangerous. She hugged her mother and said, "I'm sorry, Mama. I won't play with matches again. I promise."
+
+Her mother hugged her back and said, "I'm glad you are safe, Lily. But you have to be more careful. And you have to listen to me when I tell you to nap. You are restless because you are tired. Now, let's go to the living room and wait for the fireman. And then, you will take a long nap."
+
+Lily nodded. She was not restless anymore. She was scared and sleepy. She learned a lesson. She hoped the fireman would put out the fire and save her things. She hoped her mother would forgive her. She hoped she would never see a match again.
+Mia likes to dress herself. She is independent. She does not need help from Mom or Dad. She goes to her closet and picks a dress. She likes the pink one with flowers. She takes it off the hanger and puts it on.
+
+She looks at herself in the mirror. She smiles. She is pretty. She stands on her toes and twirls. She feels happy.
+
+She hears Mom calling her. "Mia, are you ready? We have to go to the park soon."
+
+Mia runs to the door. She grabs her shoes and her hat. She opens the door and sees Mom. Mom looks at her and smiles too.
+
+"Mia, you look lovely. Did you dress yourself?"
+
+Mia nods. She is proud. She says, "Yes, Mom. I am independent. I can dress myself."
+
+Mom hugs her. She says, "You are very independent, Mia. And very smart. I love you."
+
+Mia hugs her back. She says, "I love you too, Mom. Can we go to the park now?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, we can. Let's go."
+
+They hold hands and walk to the car. Mia is happy. She likes to dress herself. She likes to be independent. She likes to go to the park. She likes to be with Mom.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw some big, dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud boom. It was thunder.
+
+"Let's go home, Lily. The weather is bad," Tom said.
+
+"No, I want to stay. It's fun to play in the rain," Lily said. She was a chubby girl who loved water.
+
+Tom was scared. He did not like thunder and lightning. He wanted to go home to his mom. He tried to pull Lily by the hand, but she did not move.
+
+"Please, Lily. Come with me. It's not safe here," Tom said.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She ran to the slide and climbed up. She wanted to slide down and splash in the puddle. She did not see the big flash of light in the sky. She did not hear the loud crack. She did not feel the shock.
+
+Tom saw everything. He screamed. He panicked. He ran to Lily, but it was too late. She was not moving. She was not breathing. She was gone.
+
+Tom cried and cried. He wished he had made Lily go home with him. He wished he had not let her play in the rain. He wished he had not lost his best friend.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They see a big dish on the table. It is covered with a cloth.
+
+"What is in the dish?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Ben says.
+
+They pull the cloth and open the dish. Inside, there are many cookies. They are round and brown and have chocolate chips.
+
+"Wow, cookies!" Anna and Ben say. They take some cookies and eat them. They are sweet and crunchy.
+
+"Yummy, yummy, these are the best cookies ever," Anna says.
+
+"Can we have more?" Ben asks.
+
+They eat more and more cookies. They do not stop. They do not hear their mom coming.
+
+"Anna, Ben, what are you doing?" their mom says. She sees the empty dish and the crumbs on the table. She is not happy.
+
+"Mom, we found cookies in the dish. They were so good," Anna says.
+
+"We ate them all. We are sorry," Ben says.
+
+Their mom shakes her head. She says, "You should not eat so many cookies. They are not good for you. You will get a tummy ache and feel dizzy."
+
+Anna and Ben touch their tummies. They do not feel good. They feel dizzy. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We feel dizzy. We will not eat so many cookies again."
+
+Their mom hugs them. She says, "It's okay. I forgive you. But next time, ask me before you open a dish. And share the cookies with me." She smiles and gives them a glass of water. She says, "Drink this and lie down. You will feel better soon."
+
+Anna and Ben drink the water and lie down. They close their eyes. They dream of cookies. But not too many.
+Sara liked to be independent. She did not want to do what her mom or dad told her. She wanted to choose her own dress, her own food, and her own games.
+
+One day, Sara saw a pretty dress in the store. It was pink and had flowers on it. Sara wanted to buy it, but her mom said no. She said it was too expensive and Sara had many dresses at home.
+
+Sara was angry. She said, "I want this dress! I don't like my old dresses! I want to be independent!"
+
+Her mom said, "Sara, you are not being independent. You are being rude and selfish. Independent means you can do things by yourself, but you also have to mind others. You have to mind me, your dad, and the people who work in the store. They have feelings too, you know."
+
+Sara thought about what her mom said. She realized she was not being nice. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I don't need this dress. I have many nice dresses at home. I want to be independent, but I also want to mind you and others."
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "That's very good, Sara. I'm proud of you. You are a smart and independent girl, but you are also a kind and respectful girl. I love you very much."
+
+Sara felt happy. She said, "I love you too, mom. Can we go home and play with my dresses?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, we can. Let's go."
+Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore new things. One day, she saw a big box in the corner of the living room. She wondered what was inside. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is in the box?"
+
+Her mom said, "That is a magic box, Lily. It can make things disappear and reappear. But you have to be careful with it. It is not a toy."
+
+Lily was very interested in the magic box. She wanted to try it out. She waited until her mom was busy in the kitchen. Then she sneaked to the box and opened it. She saw a lot of colorful things inside. She picked up a teddy bear and put it in the box. She closed the lid and said, "Teddy, disappear!"
+
+She opened the lid again and saw that the teddy bear was gone. She was amazed. She said, "Wow, it really works!" She tried it with a ball, a book, and a hat. They all disappeared and reappeared when she said the words.
+
+She was having so much fun that she did not notice her mom coming back to the living room. Her mom saw what she was doing and was not happy. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? I told you not to touch the magic box. It is dangerous. You could disappear too!"
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want to disappear. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was just curious. I wanted to see how it works. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm not mad at you, Lily. I'm glad you are safe. But you have to listen to me when I tell you something. The magic box is not for playing. It is for a special show that your dad is preparing for your birthday. He is a magician, remember?"
+
+Lily remembered that her dad was a magician. She loved his shows. She said, "Oh, I see. I'm sorry, mom. I won't touch the box again. I can't wait to see dad's show. Will he make me disappear too?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "No, he won't make you disappear. He loves you too much. But he might make you fly or turn you into a princess. You never know what he will do. He is very good at surprises."
+
+Lily was excited. She said, "That sounds fun. I love surprises. And I love dad. And I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a very curious and smart girl. But sometimes curiosity can get you into trouble. So you have to be careful and follow the rules. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will. Thank you for the magic box. It is very cool. But I like you and dad more."
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: Curiosity is good, but it should be balanced with caution and obedience.
+Sara and Ben were at the park with their mom. They had a lot of fun playing on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They were very happy and tired.
+
+"Time to go home, kids," mom said. "But first, let's stop by the bakery and get a treat. You can each choose one cookie."
+
+Sara and Ben ran to the bakery. They saw many cookies in the window. There were chocolate cookies, oatmeal cookies, sugar cookies and more. They all looked yummy.
+
+Sara saw a cookie that was purple. It had sprinkles and icing on it. She liked purple. It was her favorite color. She pointed to the cookie and said, "I want that one, mom. The purple cookie."
+
+Ben saw the same cookie. He also liked purple. It was his favorite color too. He pointed to the cookie and said, "No, I want that one, mom. The purple cookie."
+
+Sara and Ben looked at each other. They both wanted the same cookie. They started to argue.
+
+"That's my cookie!" Sara said.
+
+"No, that's my cookie!" Ben said.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" mom said. "There is only one purple cookie. You can't both have it. You have to share or choose another cookie."
+
+Sara and Ben thought for a moment. They did not want to share. They did not want to choose another cookie. They wanted the purple cookie.
+
+But then they looked at mom. She looked sad. She wanted them to be nice to each other. She wanted them to be happy.
+
+Sara and Ben felt sorry. They did not want to make mom sad. They did not want to fight.
+
+Sara smiled at Ben. She said, "You can have the purple cookie, Ben. I will choose another cookie. I like chocolate cookies too."
+
+Ben smiled at Sara. He said, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind. I will share the purple cookie with you. We can each have half."
+
+Mom smiled at Sara and Ben. She said, "You are very good, Sara and Ben. I am proud of you. You are the best kids in the world."
+
+Sara and Ben hugged mom. They said, "We love you, mom. You are the best mom in the world."
+
+They bought the cookies and went home. They ate the cookies and shared them. They were delicious. They were happy.
+Ben likes to ride his bike. He has a red bike with two wheels and a bell. He likes to go fast and make noise. But he has to wear a helmet when he rides his bike. His mom says it is for his safety.
+
+Ben does not like his helmet. It is big and heavy and hot. It makes his head uncomfortable. He wants to take it off and feel the wind in his hair. He thinks he is a big boy and he does not need a helmet.
+
+One day, he decides to sneak out without his helmet. He puts his bike in the yard and runs away. He feels free and happy. He rides his bike around the block and sees his friend Sam. Sam has a blue bike and a helmet. He waves at Ben and says hello.
+
+But Ben does not see the car coming. He is too busy looking at Sam. He does not hear the horn or the brakes. He only feels the bump and the pain. He falls off his bike and hits his head on the ground. He cries and cries. He wishes he had his helmet.
+
+His mom hears the noise and runs to him. She sees the blood and the tears. She hugs him and calls for help. She is scared and angry. She tells him he was very naughty and foolish. He could have hurt himself badly. He needs to wear his helmet always.
+
+Ben is sorry and sad. He says he is sorry and he loves his mom. He says he will wear his helmet next time. He learns his lesson. He knows his helmet is not uncomfortable. It is important and good. It protects his head and his life. He is glad he has a helmet.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the garden. They saw a big tree with purple fruits on it. They were prunes, and they were sweet and juicy. Lily and Max wanted to eat some prunes, but they were too high for them to reach.
+
+"Let's get a stool and climb up," Lily said. She ran to the shed and brought back a wooden stool. She put it under the tree and stood on it. She stretched her arms and tried to reach a prune, but it was still too far.
+
+"Let me try," Max said. He pushed Lily off the stool and climbed on it. He was taller than Lily, but he still could not reach a prune. He jumped and grabbed a branch, but it snapped and he fell down. He hurt his knee and started to cry.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Max. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Max. Don't cry. We can find something else to eat."
+
+She looked around and saw a basket of apples on the porch. She ran to get it and brought it back to Max. She gave him an apple and said, "Here, Max. Have an apple. They are red and crunchy and yummy."
+
+Max smiled and took the apple. He bit into it and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I'm sorry I pushed you off the stool."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Max. You are a good brother. I'm sorry I took the stool first."
+
+They hugged and ate their apples. They were glad they had each other and they forgot about the prunes.
+Lily and Ben were cheerful. They liked to play in the yard with their toys. They had a big truck, a small car, a ball, and a teddy bear. They made a lot of noise and had a lot of fun.
+
+One day, their mom said, "Lily and Ben, I have a surprise for you. Come inside and see." Lily and Ben ran inside. They saw a big cake on the table. It had candles and frosting and sprinkles. It was their birthday!
+
+"Wow, mom, thank you!" they said. "Can we eat the cake now?"
+
+"Not yet," mom said. "First, you have to open your presents. They are in the yard. Go and find them."
+
+Lily and Ben ran outside. They looked around the yard. They saw a big box with a bow. They opened it. Inside was a new toy. It was a big train with a lot of cars. It could move and make sounds.
+
+"Wow, a train!" Ben said. "I love trains!"
+
+"Me too!" Lily said. "Let's play with it!"
+
+They took the train out of the box. They put it on the ground. They pushed a button. The train started to move. It went around the yard. It made a choo-choo sound.
+
+Lily and Ben followed the train. They saw another box with a bow. They opened it. Inside was another new toy. It was a lot of blocks. They had different shapes and colors. They could build things with them.
+
+"Wow, blocks!" Lily said. "I love blocks!"
+
+"Me too!" Ben said. "Let's build something!"
+
+They took the blocks out of the box. They put them on the ground. They started to build. They made a house, a tower, a bridge, and a castle.
+
+Lily and Ben played with the train and the blocks. They had more fun than ever. They forgot about the cake.
+
+Mom watched them from the window. She smiled. She was happy to see them happy. She said to herself, "They are so cheerful. They don't need the cake. But I will save it for later. Maybe they will want some after they load the train with the blocks and take them to the castle."
+Anna and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They also liked to look at the animals in the barn. There were cows and pigs and chickens and horses. They were big and noisy and furry.
+
+One day, they saw a new animal in the barn. It was small and gray and had a long tail. It was hiding behind a bale of hay. Anna and Ben were curious. They wanted to see what it was.
+
+"Hello, little animal," Anna said. "What is your name?"
+
+The animal did not answer. It looked at Anna and Ben with big eyes. It was scared.
+
+"Maybe it is a mouse," Ben said. "But it is too big for a mouse."
+
+"Maybe it is a cat," Anna said. "But it is too small for a cat."
+
+They moved closer to the animal. The animal moved away from them. It made a soft sound.
+
+"Meow," it said.
+
+Anna and Ben smiled. They recognized the sound. They knew what the animal was.
+
+"It is a kitten!" Anna said. "A baby cat!"
+
+"A kitten!" Ben said. "How cute!"
+
+They reached out their hands to pet the kitten. The kitten sniffed their fingers. It felt their warmth. It was not scared anymore.
+
+It rubbed its head against their hands. It purred.
+
+Anna and Ben laughed. They liked the kitten. They wanted to be its friends.
+
+"Can we keep it, please?" Anna asked.
+
+"Can we, please?" Ben asked.
+
+They looked at their mom, who was watching them from the door. She smiled and nodded.
+
+"Yes, you can," she said. "But you have to take good care of it."
+
+"We will, we will!" Anna and Ben said.
+
+They hugged the kitten. The kitten hugged them back. They were happy. They had a new furry friend.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in every season. In winter, they make snowmen and snowballs. In spring, they look for flowers and bugs. In summer, they splash in the pool and eat ice cream. In fall, they jump in the leaves and pick apples.
+
+One day, in fall, they go to the park with Mom. They see a big pile of leaves. They run to the pile and jump in. They laugh and throw leaves at each other. Mom watches them and smiles.
+
+"Look, Ben, a squirrel!" Lila says. She points to a tree. A brown squirrel is on a branch. It has a nut in its mouth.
+
+"Wow, let's go see it!" Ben says. He gets out of the pile and runs to the tree. Lila follows him.
+
+They kneel under the tree and look up. The squirrel sees them and makes a noise. It runs to another branch.
+
+"Hi, squirrel!" Lila says. "Do you like nuts?"
+
+The squirrel makes another noise. It drops the nut. The nut falls on Ben's head.
+
+"Ouch!" Ben says. He rubs his head.
+
+"Sorry, Ben!" Lila says. She picks up the nut. "Here, you can have it."
+
+"Thanks, Lila!" Ben says. He takes the nut. "Maybe we can give it to the squirrel."
+
+They hold the nut and look at the squirrel. The squirrel looks at them and makes a noise. It jumps to another tree.
+
+"Bye, squirrel!" Lila and Ben say. They wave to the squirrel.
+
+They go back to the pile of leaves. They jump in again. They have fun.
+
+Mom comes to them. She has a basket. "Are you hungry?" she asks. "I have some sandwiches and apples for us."
+
+"Yes, Mom!" Lila and Ben say. They get out of the pile and run to Mom. They hug her.
+
+They sit on a blanket and eat. They look at the sky. It is blue and clear. They see some birds and clouds.
+
+They are happy. They love fall. They love Mom. They love each other.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the big house. The big house has many chambers. Some chambers have toys, some chambers have books, some chambers have beds.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben find a new chamber. It is behind a door that is hard to open. They push and push until the door opens. Inside, they see a big machine. The machine has many buttons and lights.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Lila asks.
+
+"I don't know, let's see," Ben says.
+
+They go closer to the machine. They see a screen. On the screen, they see a picture of a forest. The forest has many trees and animals.
+
+"Look, a forest!" Lila says.
+
+"Can we go there?" Ben asks.
+
+They see a button that says "move". They think it means to move to the forest.
+
+"Let's try it," Lila says.
+
+She presses the button. The machine makes a loud noise. The chamber shakes. The screen changes. Now, they see a picture of a city. The city has many buildings and cars.
+
+"Look, a city!" Ben says.
+
+"Can we go back?" Lila asks.
+
+They see another button that says "back". They think it means to go back to the big house.
+
+"Let's try it," Ben says.
+
+He presses the button. The machine makes another loud noise. The chamber shakes again. The screen changes. Now, they see a picture of the big house.
+
+"Look, the big house!" Lila says.
+
+"Yay, we are back!" Ben says.
+
+They run out of the chamber. They close the door. They are happy and scared.
+
+"Wow, that was fun and scary," Lila says.
+
+"Yes, it was. We are very smart to find the new chamber and the machine," Ben says.
+
+They hug each other. They go to find their mom and dad. They want to tell them about their adventure.
+Lila and Sam were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with many peaches on it. They wanted to eat some peaches, but they were too high to reach.
+
+"Let's ask Mama to help us," Lila said.
+
+"Mama is busy in the kitchen," Sam said. "She said we have to wait."
+
+Lila had an idea. She said, "Let's pray to God. Maybe He will make the peaches fall down."
+
+Sam nodded. They closed their eyes and folded their hands. They said, "Dear God, please give us some peaches. We are very hungry and they look so yummy. Thank you, God. Amen."
+
+They opened their eyes and looked at the tree. Nothing happened. The peaches were still on the branches.
+
+Lila and Sam felt sad. They sat on the grass and sighed.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud thud. They turned around and saw a peach on the ground. It had fallen from the tree.
+
+"Look, Sam, a peach!" Lila exclaimed.
+
+"Wow, God heard us!" Sam said.
+
+They ran to the peach and picked it up. It was big and juicy. They smiled and thanked God again.
+
+They took a bite of the peach. It was sweet and delicious. They shared it and enjoyed it.
+
+But then, Lila felt something hurt in her mouth. She spat out a seed. It had scratched her tongue.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cried.
+
+Sam saw the blood on her tongue. He felt sorry for her.
+
+"Are you okay, Lila?" Sam asked.
+
+Lila shook her head. She said, "It hurts, Sam. It hurts a lot."
+
+Sam hugged her and said, "Don't cry, Lila. I'll get Mama. She'll make it better."
+
+He ran to the house and called Mama. Mama came with some water and a band-aid. She washed Lila's tongue and put the band-aid on it.
+
+She said, "There, there, Lila. It's okay. It will heal soon. You were brave to eat the peach."
+
+Lila smiled and said, "Thank you, Mama. And thank you, God, for the peach. But next time, please take out the seed."
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box of candy in the kitchen. They are very happy.
+
+"Look, Max, so many candy!" Lily says. "Can we eat some?"
+
+"Yes, but let's do something fun first," Max says. "Let's design our own candy!"
+
+They take out some paper and crayons. They draw different shapes and colors of candy. They use their imagination.
+
+"I want a candy that looks like a star and tastes like lemon," Lily says.
+
+"I want a candy that looks like a car and tastes like chocolate," Max says.
+

+
+One day, they see a big box on the lawn. It is brown and has a red bow. They wonder what is inside. They run to the box and open it. They see a big teddy bear. It is brown and soft and has a red bow too. They are very happy. They hug the teddy bear and thank their mom.
+
+They decide to play with the teddy bear. They take turns holding it and throwing it to each other. They make the teddy bear dance and sing. They are very silly. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But they do not know that the teddy bear is not a normal teddy bear. It is a special teddy bear. It has a button on its back. When someone presses the button, the teddy bear shakes and makes a loud noise. It is a prank teddy bear. Their mom bought it as a joke.
+
+Sam has the teddy bear and throws it to Ben. Ben catches it and presses the button by mistake. The teddy bear shakes and makes a loud noise. Ben is very scared. He drops the teddy bear and screams. Sam is scared too. He runs to Ben and hugs him. They cry and call their mom.
+
+Their mom hears them and comes outside. She sees the teddy bear and the button. She realizes what happened. She feels bad. She did not mean to scare them. She thought they would laugh. She picks up the teddy bear and throws it away. She hugs Sam and Ben and says sorry. She says she loves them and will buy them a new teddy bear. A normal teddy bear.
+
+But Sam and Ben are not happy. They are angry and sad. They do not want a new teddy bear. They do not want to play with their mom. They do not trust her. They think she is mean and silly.

+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the field near the mill. The mill was big and old. It had a big wheel that turned in the water. Sometimes they saw the miller make flour inside.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog near the mill. The dog was not normal. It was angry and loud. It barked and ran at them. Lily and Tom were scared. They ran away from the dog.
+
+"Help, help!" they shouted.
+
+The miller heard them. He came out of the mill with a stick. He saw the dog and the children.
+
+"Go away, bad dog!" he said. He waved the stick at the dog. The dog was afraid of the stick. It stopped and ran away.
+
+The miller went to Lily and Tom. He hugged them and said, "Are you okay, children? That dog was not nice. I'm sorry he scared you. I wanted to protect you."
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, miller. You are nice. You protected us."
+
+The miller said, "You are welcome, children. You are brave. You can play in the field, but be careful of the dog. He might come back."
+
+Lily and Tom said, "Okay, miller. We will be careful. We like to play in the field and see the mill."
+
+They waved goodbye to the miller and went back to the field. They played and had fun. They were happy and safe.
+Lily liked to play with yarn. She had many colors of yarn in a big box. She could make things with yarn, like hats and scarves and dolls. She was very good at making things with yarn.
+
+One day, she wanted to make a new doll. She took some pink yarn and some white yarn and started to make a head and a body. She was very happy with her doll. She wanted to give her doll a face and hair. She looked for some black yarn and some red yarn in her box.
+
+But she could not find any black yarn or red yarn. She looked and looked, but they were gone. She felt sad and angry. Who took her yarn? She asked her mom and dad and brother, but they did not know. They said they did not touch her yarn.
+
+Then she heard a noise in her room. She ran to her room and saw a big mess. Her yarn was everywhere, on the floor and on the bed and on the dresser. And in the middle of the mess, there was a cat. A black cat with red eyes. The cat had a ball of black yarn in its mouth and a ball of red yarn in its paws. The cat looked at Lily and smiled.
+
+Lily was very surprised. She did not know where the cat came from. She did not have a cat. The cat just appeared in her room. She did not like the cat. The cat was bad and mean. The cat took her yarn and made a mess. The cat made her doll unfinished. The cat made her feel bitter.
+
+She yelled at the cat. She said, "Go away, cat! You are not my friend! You are a bad cat! Give me back my yarn!" She tried to take the yarn from the cat, but the cat hissed and scratched her. Lily cried and ran to her mom.
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. Don't be scared. The cat is gone. We will clean up the mess and find you some new yarn. You can finish your doll later. You are a good girl. You are my friend. I love you."
+
+Lily felt better. She said, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for helping me. I don't like the cat. I hope the cat never comes back." She smiled and hugged her mom. She forgot about the bitter cat and the unfinished doll. She was happy with her mom and her yarn.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a sign that says "Coffee". They are curious and want to try some.
+
+"Can we have some coffee, please?" Tom asks the man in the truck.
+
+"No, coffee is not for kids. It is for grown-ups. It makes them awake and happy. But it can make you sick and sleepy. You need to drink water or juice. They are healthy and good for you." The man says.
+
+"But we want to be awake and happy too. And we are not sick or sleepy. Please, can we have just a little bit?" Anna begs.
+
+The man shakes his head. "No, no, no. Coffee is not for you. Go and play somewhere else."
+
+Tom and Anna are sad. They walk away from the truck. They see a lady sitting on a bench. She has a cup of coffee in her hand. She looks nice and friendly.
+
+"Hello, lady. Can you lend us some coffee, please?" Tom asks.
+
+The lady smiles. "Why do you want coffee, little ones? Coffee is not for kids. It is for grown-ups. It makes them awake and happy. But it can make you sick and sleepy. You need to drink water or juice. They are healthy and good for you."
+
+"But we want to be awake and happy too. And we are not sick or sleepy. Please, can you lend us just a little bit?" Anna asks.
+
+The lady thinks for a moment. She remembers when she was a kid and wanted to try new things. She decides to be kind and let them have a sip.
+
+"Okay, okay. I will lend you some coffee. But only a sip. And then you have to give it back to me. And you have to promise me that you will not drink coffee again until you are grown-ups. Deal?" She says.
+
+Tom and Anna nod. They are excited and grateful. They take turns to sip the coffee. They make a face. It is bitter and hot. They do not like it at all.
+
+"Yuck! This is not good. This is not awake and happy. This is ouch and yucky. We do not want coffee anymore. We want water or juice. They are healthy and good for us." They say.
+
+They give the cup back to the lady. They say thank you and sorry. They run to the fountain and drink some water. They feel better. They go back to the park and play. They are happy and healthy. They do not need coffee. They have each other.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. They were very dirty, but they did not care. They had fun.
+
+But then, a giant came. He was very big and loud. He was also very ignorant. He did not know how to play nicely. He saw Tom and Lily and their mud pies. He wanted to eat them.
+
+"Yum, yum, yum!" he said. He reached out his hand and grabbed Tom and Lily. He put them in his mouth.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They did not want to be eaten. They kicked and screamed. They also tasted very bad. They were full of mud and dirt.
+
+The giant spat them out. He was angry. He did not like the taste. He wanted something sweet and clean.
+
+He saw a hose in the garden. He thought it was a snake. He was afraid of snakes. He ran away.
+
+Tom and Lily were safe. They were also very wet. They laughed. They decided to wash themselves with the hose. They also washed their mud pies. They made them into cakes. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a hose to water the plants and make rainbows. But the hose is locked in the shed. Only Dad has the key.
+
+One day, Dad is busy in the house. Anna and Ben want to play with the hose. They ask Dad for the key.
+
+"Dad, can we have the key to the shed? We want to play with the hose," Anna says.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. I have to finish some work. Maybe later," Dad says.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They wait for a long time. But Dad does not come.
+
+They look around the garden. They see a big rock. They have an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can use the rock to unlock the shed," Ben says.
+
+"Let's try," Anna says.
+
+They lift the rock together. They carry it to the shed. They hit the lock with the rock. Bang! Bang! Bang!
+
+The lock breaks. The shed opens. Anna and Ben are happy. They find the hose. They turn on the tap. Water comes out.
+
+They water the plants and make rainbows. They laugh and splash. They have fun.
+
+Dad hears the noise. He comes out of the house. He sees the broken lock and the wet garden. He is not happy.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What have you done?" Dad says.
+
+"We wanted to play with the hose. We used the rock to unlock the shed," Anna says.
+
+"That was not a good idea. You could have hurt yourselves or damaged the shed. The lock was there for a reason. The hose is not a toy. It is a tool. It is for watering the plants, not for making a mess," Dad says.
+
+He takes the hose and the rock. He locks the shed with a new lock. He tells Anna and Ben to go inside and change their clothes.
+
+Anna and Ben are sorry. They did not mean to make Dad angry. They did not know the hose was a tool. They just wanted to have fun.
+
+They go inside and change their clothes. They hug Dad and say sorry.
+
+"It's okay. I forgive you. But next time, please ask me before you use something that is not yours. And don't break things that are not broken. The lock was reliable. It kept the shed safe. Now I have to buy a new one," Dad says.
+
+He hugs them back and says he loves them.
+
+They love him too. They promise to be good. They learn a new word: reliable. It means something that works well and does not break. Like Dad. He is reliable. He works well and does not break. He is the best Dad.
+Sara was very tired. She had played all day with her toys and her dog. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She wanted to go to bed, but she had to wait for her mom to come home from work.
+
+She looked out the window and saw that it was dark and gloomy outside. The clouds were gray and the wind was cold. She hoped her mom would come soon. She missed her mom and wanted a hug and a kiss.
+
+She heard a knock on the door. She ran to open it, thinking it was her mom. But it was not her mom. It was a man with a big box. He smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. I have a delivery for you. Can you sign here?"
+
+Sara was confused. She did not know the man or the box. She did not know how to sign. She said, "No, thank you. I'm waiting for my mom. She will be here any minute."
+
+The man frowned and said, "But this is a very special box. It has a surprise for you. Don't you want to see what's inside?"
+
+Sara shook her head. She did not like surprises from strangers. She felt scared and wanted the man to go away. She said, "No, thank you. Please go away. I don't want your box."
+
+The man tried to push the door open, but Sara held it tight. She screamed, "Help! Help! Mommy!"
+
+The man heard a car pull up in the driveway. He looked and saw Sara's mom get out of the car. He dropped the box and ran away.
+
+Sara's mom heard Sara's scream and ran to the door. She saw Sara crying and hugged her. She said, "Sara, what happened? Are you okay?"
+
+Sara told her mom about the man and the box. She said, "He was a bad man, Mommy. He wanted me to take his box, but I didn't want to. I was scared, Mommy."
+
+Sara's mom said, "You did the right thing, Sara. You were very brave and smart. You never take anything from strangers. You always wait for me or Daddy. I'm so proud of you, Sara."
+
+She kissed Sara and said, "Let's go inside and forget about the bad man. I have a good surprise for you. I brought you a new book and a teddy bear. Do you want to read the book and cuddle with the teddy bear in bed?"
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Yes, Mommy. I love you, Mommy."
+
+She took the book and the teddy bear and went to bed with her mom. She felt safe and happy. She yawned and closed her eyes. She dreamed of good things.
+Sam is a boy who likes to play with cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them go fast and make noises. He also likes to make zigzags with his cars on the floor.
+
+One day, Sam goes to the park with his mom. He brings his favorite car, a red one with big wheels. He sees a girl who is playing with a doll. She has long hair and a pink dress. Sam wants to play with her, but he is shy.

+He goes near her and says, "Hi, I am Sam. This is my car. It is red and fast. Do you want to see?" The girl looks at him and smiles. She says, "Hi, I am Mia. This is my doll. She is pretty and soft. Do you want to touch?" Sam nods and reaches for the doll.
+
+They introduce their toys to each other and start to play. They make the car and the doll go on adventures. They make them go up and down the slide, swing on the swings, and hide behind the trees. They have fun and laugh a lot.
+
+Sam and Mia become friends. They find out that they live near each other. They decide to play again tomorrow. They say goodbye and hug. They are happy. They fit well together.
+Anna likes to play dress-up with her dolls. She has many dresses, hats, shoes and jewels for them. She likes to make them look pretty and have tea parties with them.
+
+One day, she finds a shiny stone in the garden. It is very bright and sparkly. She thinks it is a diamond. She wants to give it to her favorite doll, Lily. She thinks Lily will love it.
+
+She runs to her room and looks for a necklace to put the diamond on. She finds a pink one with a small loop. She tries to fit the diamond in the loop, but it is too big. She tries to fit it in other necklaces, but none of them work.
+
+She is sad. She wants to give Lily the diamond, but she does not have a necklace that fits. She thinks maybe she can make one. She looks for some string and a needle. She finds them in her mom's sewing box.
+
+She asks her mom if she can use them. Her mom says yes, but she has to be careful with the needle. She helps Anna thread the needle and tie a knot. Anna carefully pokes the needle through the diamond. It is hard, but she does it. She makes a loop with the string and ties another knot.
+
+She is happy. She has made a necklace for Lily. She puts it around Lily's neck and admires how pretty she looks. She gives Lily a hug and a kiss. She says, "I love you, Lily. You are my best friend. This is a special gift for you. It is a diamond. It is very rare and beautiful, like you."
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron with flowers on it. She helped her mom stir the soup, cut the bread, and set the table. She felt very happy and proud.
+
+One day, a lady came to their door. She had a big bag with many things in it. She smiled and said, "Hello, I am selling some nice things for your home. Do you want to see them?"
+
+Lily's mom said, "Sure, why not? Come in, please." She invited the lady to sit on the couch. Lily followed them and sat next to her mom.
+
+The lady opened her bag and took out some things. She showed them a clock, a vase, a blanket, and a book. She said, "These are all very good and cheap. You can buy them for only five dollars each."
+
+Lily's mom looked at the things and said, "They are very nice, but I don't need them. Thank you, anyway."
+
+The lady said, "Oh, that's too bad. How about this?" She took out another thing from her bag. It was a blue apron with stars on it. She said, "This is a very special apron. It can make you cook better and faster. You can buy it for only ten dollars."
+
+Lily's mom said, "No, thank you. I already have an apron. I don't need another one."
+
+The lady said, "But this apron is much better than yours. Look, it has stars on it. Don't you like stars?"
+
+Lily's mom said, "I do like stars, but I like my apron more. It was a gift from my daughter. She made it for me with her own hands. It is very precious to me."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She said, "I love you, mom. You are the best cook in the world."
+
+The lady looked confused. She did not understand why Lily's mom did not want to buy her apron. She said, "Well, okay. I guess I will go then. Goodbye."
+
+She packed her things and left. Lily and her mom waved to her and closed the door. They went back to the kitchen and finished their dinner. They ate the soup and the bread and enjoyed their time together. They did not need anything else. They had each other.
+Lily liked to draw pictures with her crayons. She had many colors and she made animals and flowers and houses. She was very good at drawing.
+
+One day, she wanted to draw a lion. She found a yellow crayon and a brown crayon and started to make a big lion on a piece of paper. She gave him a mane and a tail and a nose and eyes. She wanted him to look fierce, like the lions in her books.
+
+She was almost done when her little brother Tom came into the room. He saw the lion and he wanted to play with it. He grabbed the paper and ran away. Lily was very angry. She shouted at Tom and chased him.
+
+Tom ran to the sofa and hid behind it. He thought he was safe, but Lily was faster. She caught up with him and reached for the paper. Tom held it tight and tried to pull it away. They both tugged and tugged until the paper ripped.
+
+Lily and Tom stopped and looked at the torn paper. The lion was in two pieces. Lily felt sad and Tom felt sorry. They both dropped the paper and started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the paper and the crayons and the children. She knelt down and hugged them both. She said, "It's okay, don't cry. You can make another picture together. You can share the crayons and help each other. How about that?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and wiped their tears. They said they were sorry and hugged each other. Mom smiled and gave them a new piece of paper. They went back to the table and started to draw a new lion. This time, they made him friendly, not fierce. They were happy and Mom was proud.
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big, pale cloud in the sky. It looked like a giant sheep.
+
+"Wow, look at that cloud!" Lily said. "It is so big and fluffy!"
+
+"I wonder what it feels like to touch it," Sam said. "Do you think we can walk on it?"
+
+"Let's imagine we can!" Lily said. "Let's pretend we are birds and we can fly up to the cloud."
+
+They closed their eyes and flapped their arms. They made sounds like birds. They imagined they were soaring in the air, closer and closer to the cloud.
+
+They felt the wind on their faces and the sun on their backs. They smiled and laughed.
+
+They reached the cloud and landed on it. It was soft and cool. They bounced and rolled on it. They felt happy and free.
+
+"Wow, this is so fun!" Lily said. "I love this cloud!"
+
+"Me too!" Sam said. "This is the best walk ever!"
+
+They played on the cloud for a long time. They made shapes and animals with the cloud. They sang and danced on the cloud. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Then they heard their moms calling them. It was time to go home.
+
+They opened their eyes and saw the cloud was still in the sky. It looked like a giant sheep.
+
+They waved goodbye to the cloud. They thanked it for the fun.
+
+They ran to their moms and hugged them. They told them about their walk on the cloud.
+
+Their moms smiled and listened. They were proud of their children's imagination. They loved them very much.
+One day, a little boy named Ben went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He was very happy.
+
+But when he got to the top, he saw a big dog sitting on the slide. The dog was black and white and had a wide mouth. The dog looked at Ben and barked. Ben was scared. He did not want to slide down with the dog.
+
+Ben's mom saw what was happening. She ran to the slide and called the dog. She said, "Come here, Spot. You can't prevent Ben from sliding. That's not nice." She gave the dog a treat and took him off the slide. The dog wagged his tail and followed her.
+
+Ben was glad. He thanked his mom and slid down the slide. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He was very happy. He said, "That was fun. Can I do it again?" His mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But first, let's give Spot a look. He is a good dog. He just wanted to play." Ben nodded and went to pet the dog. The dog licked his hand and wagged his tail. Ben was happy. He made a new friend.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They live in a big city with many cars and people. They like to play in the park near their home. Sometimes they see blue birds and blue flowers in the park.
+
+One day, their mom says they can go to the zoo. The zoo is far from the park. They have to take a bus to get there. Lila and Ben are very happy. They want to see the animals.
+
+At the zoo, they see many animals. They see lions, monkeys, elephants, and more. They also see a big blue pool. In the pool, there are penguins. The penguins are black and white and have blue eyes. They swim and splash in the water.
+
+Lila and Ben want to touch the penguins. They ask their mom if they can. Their mom says no. She says the penguins are not pets. They are wild animals. They do not like to be touched by people. They can get scared or angry.
+
+Lila and Ben are sad. They like the penguins. They want to be friends with them. But they listen to their mom. They do not touch the penguins. They only watch them from a distance. They wave to them and say bye-bye. The penguins wave back with their flippers. Lila and Ben smile. They have a fun day at the zoo.
+Lily loved to play with her toy plane. She liked to make it soar in the air and pretend it was flying to faraway places. She liked to measure how high and how far it could go. She used her fingers and her eyes to measure.
+
+One day, she took her toy plane to the park. She saw a big tree with many birds. She thought the birds were charming. They had different colors and sounds. She wanted to make friends with them. She threw her toy plane in the air and hoped it would soar to the tree.
+
+But her toy plane did not soar. It fell to the ground. Lily was sad. She ran to pick it up. She saw that one of its wings was broken. She felt like crying. She looked at the tree and saw the birds watching her.
+
+Then, something amazing happened. One of the birds flew down from the tree and landed next to her toy plane. It was a blue bird with a yellow beak. It looked at her toy plane and then at her. It made a friendly chirp. Lily smiled. She reached out her hand and gently touched the bird. The bird did not fly away. It stayed with her.
+
+Lily felt happy. She had a new friend. She did not care that her toy plane was broken. She had a real bird that could soar. She named the bird Sky. She and Sky played together in the park. They measured how high and how far they could go. They used their wings and their hearts to measure.
+Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and blocks. They always shared their toys and snacks. They gave each other big hugs and said, "You are my lovely friend."
+
+One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Lila climbed up the ladder first. She was very excited. She looked down and saw Tom waiting for her. She smiled and waved. She slid down very fast and landed on the ground.
+
+Tom wanted to slide too. He climbed up the ladder after Lila. He was very happy. He looked down and saw Lila standing by the slide. He shouted, "Here I come!" He slid down very fast and landed on Lila.
+
+Lila felt a big pain in her shoulder. She cried out loud. Tom had squeezed her shoulder with his feet. He did not mean to hurt her, but he did. He was very sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lila. Are you okay?"
+
+Lila was not okay. She was very angry. She pushed Tom away and said, "You are not my lovely friend. You are a bad friend. You hurt me. Go away!" She ran to her mom and hugged her. She did not want to play with Tom anymore.
+
+Tom felt very sad. He did not want to lose his friend. He tried to say sorry again, but Lila did not listen. She did not look at him. She did not talk to him. She did not want to be his friend anymore. He ran to his mom and cried. He wished he had not slid down so fast. He wished he had not squeezed Lila's shoulder. He wished he had not made her angry. He wished he had a lovely friend.
+Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted on paper, on walls, on rocks. She painted flowers, stars, animals. She was happy when she painted.

+One day, she saw an old drum in the garage. It was big and round and had a hole. It was dusty and dirty. Lily wanted to paint it. She thought it would be fun.
+
+She took her paints and brushes and went to the garage. She started to paint the drum. She painted it red and yellow and blue. She painted dots and stripes and swirls. She painted a smiley face on the hole.

+
+Lily looked at her dad and smiled. She said, "I am painting it, dad. I made it pretty. Do you like it?"
+
+Her dad looked at the drum and smiled too. He said, "Yes, I do like it, Lily. You are very creative. But next time, please ask me before you paint something. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, dad. I am sorry. Can I play the drum now?"

+Her dad said, "Sure, Lily. Let me show you how." He took a stick and tapped the drum. It made a loud sound. Lily liked the sound. She took another stick and tapped the drum too. They played the drum together and laughed. They had fun.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of wrap. They used the wrap to make dresses, hats, capes, and tents. They had fun pretending to be different people and animals.
+
+One day, they saw a new wrap in the box. It was shiny and colorful, with stars and sparkles. Anna and Ben wanted to use it, but their mom said no. She said it was a special wrap for a gift. She told them not to touch it or open it. She put it on a high shelf and went to the kitchen.
+
+Anna and Ben were very nosy. They wanted to know what was in the gift. They thought it was something for them. They waited until their mom was busy, then they got a chair and climbed up to the shelf. They took the wrap and opened it.

She said they had to go to their room and stay there until dinner.
+

+Sam likes to watch his dad fix things. He sees his dad use a tool to turn screws. Screws are small and shiny and hold things together. Sam wants to help his dad, so he picks up a screw and tries to put it in a hole.
+
+But the screw is too big for the hole. Sam pushes hard, but the screw does not go in. He pushes harder, but the screw does not move. He pushes even harder, but the screw breaks.

+They put down the big rug and pick up the small rug. They carry it to the chair and the table. They put the rug over them. It fits! It does not fall down.

+
+One day, he saw a new girl in his class. She had red hair and green eyes. She smiled at him. He wanted to talk to her. He thought maybe she could be his friend.

+Tim said, "Fire is fun. It makes bright colors and sounds. I have matches and fuel. Do you want to see them?"
+
+Amy shook her head. She said, "No, I don't want to see them. You should not play with matches and fuel. They can cause a big fire. You should give them to a grown-up. Come on, let's play something else."

+
+He gives them a big hug. He also gives them some candy. They say thank you and bye.

+
+At dinner, Benny's mom asked him why he didn't come when she called him. Benny felt guilty and said, "I was hiding, Mom. Sorry." His mom smiled and said, "It's okay to play, but it's important to listen to your parents too. And remember, even if something is bitter, it can still be good for you."

+
+Later that day, Timmy's little sister wanted some ice cream. Timmy had some in the freezer, but he didn't want to share it.

+One day, they go to the park with Mom. They see a big tree with many spikes on it. The spikes are green and hard. Tom and Lily want to collect some spikes for their box.
+
+"Can we have some spikes, Mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Be careful, they are sharp. And don't eat them, they are sour," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily use a stick to get some spikes from the tree. They put them in a bag. They are happy. They have new things for their box.
+
+They go to the pond and see some ducks. The ducks are swimming and quacking. Tom and Lily want to feed the ducks. They have some bread in their bag.
+
+"Can we feed the ducks, Mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, but don't give them the spikes. They are not good for them," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily break the bread and throw it to the ducks. The ducks come closer and eat the bread. They are happy. They have food for their tummies.
+
+Tom and Lily smile and wave to the ducks. They have fun in the park. They go home with their bag of spikes. They put them in their box. They have more things to look at and play with. They are happy. They like to collect things.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a gun in a box in the garage. They did not know what it was, but it looked shiny and cool.
+
+"Let's play with this!" Tom said, and picked up the gun.
+
+"No, Tom, that is not a toy. That is a bad thing. It can hurt you and me and others. Put it back!" Sam said, and tried to take the gun from Tom.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He wanted to keep the gun and play with it. He pushed Sam away and ran outside with the gun. He saw a bird on a tree and pointed the gun at it. He pulled the trigger and made a loud bang.
+
+The bird fell down from the tree and did not move. Tom was scared and sad. He did not mean to hurt the bird. He dropped the gun and ran back to Sam.
+
+"Sam, I am sorry. I did a bad thing. I hurt the bird. I should have listened to you. You are a good friend. You are modest and smart. You know what is right and wrong. Can you forgive me?" Tom said, and hugged Sam.
+
+Sam was angry and sad, too. He liked the bird and did not want it to die. But he saw that Tom was sorry and did not know better. He hugged Tom back and said, "It is okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. Never touch the gun again. And tell your mom and dad what you did. They will be mad, but they will also help you. And we can find a way to say sorry to the bird and its family. Do you promise?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I promise, Sam. Thank you for being my friend. I will do what you say. And I will never play with the gun again. I will only play with toys that are safe and fun."
+
+The moral of the story is: Guns are not toys. They are dangerous and can hurt people and animals. We should listen to our friends who are modest and smart and know what is right and wrong. We should also tell the truth and say sorry when we make a mistake.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big star in the sky. Anna says, "Look, Ben, a star! I want to make a wish."
+
+Ben says, "What do you wish for, Anna?"
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She says, "I wish I could become a princess. Then I could wear a pretty dress and a crown and live in a castle."
+
+Ben says, "That sounds fun, Anna. But I wish I could become a superhero. Then I could fly and help people and fight bad guys."
+
+They close their eyes and wish hard. They hope the star will hear them.
+
+But nothing happens. They open their eyes and see that they are still in the park. They are still Anna and Ben. They feel sad.
+
+Anna says, "Maybe the star did not hear us. Maybe our wishes are too big."
+
+Ben says, "Maybe we should wish for something else. Something that we can do now."
+
+Anna says, "Like what, Ben?"
+
+Ben says, "Like playing on the swings. Or having a snack. Or giving each other a hug."
+
+Anna smiles. She says, "That sounds good, Ben. I like those things. And I like you."
+
+Ben smiles too. He says, "I like you too, Anna. You are my friend."
+
+They run to the swings and play. They share a snack and a hug. They forget about their wishes. They are happy.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to draw with crayons and paper. Tom has a big eraser. He can erase his mistakes and make his drawings better. Anna does not have an eraser. She tries to be careful, but sometimes she makes mistakes too.
+
+One day, they are drawing together at school. Tom draws a house with a door and a window. Anna draws a flower with a stem and a leaf. She wants to draw another leaf, but she draws it too big. She asks Tom, "Can I use your eraser, please?"
+
+Tom looks at Anna's flower. He thinks it is ugly. He does not want to share his eraser. He is selfish. He says, "No, you can't. It is mine. Go away."
+
+Anna feels sad and angry. She says, "That is not nice. You are a bad friend. I will tell the teacher."
+
+Tom does not care. He keeps drawing. He thinks he is the best. He wants to draw a sun above his house. He picks a yellow crayon and starts to draw a circle. But he makes a mistake. He draws the circle too big. It covers his window. He wants to erase it, but he can't. He has lost his eraser.
+
+He looks around. He sees Anna holding his eraser. She has erased her mistake and drawn a beautiful flower. She smiles at him. She says, "Do you want your eraser back, Tom?"
+
+Tom feels ashamed and sorry. He says, "Yes, please. I am sorry, Anna. I was selfish. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Anna is kind and generous. She says, "Yes, I can. Here is your eraser. But next time, you have to share. Sharing is caring."
+
+Tom nods and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. I will share with you from now on."

+They say sorry and hug. They share the toy guns. They play together. They are friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but they do not like to eat broccoli. Mom says broccoli is good for them, but they think it is yucky and green.
+
+One day, Mom makes a big pot of soup with broccoli and cheese. She tells Anna and Ben to come to the table and have some soup. Anna and Ben make faces and say no.
+
+Mom says, "If you eat your soup, you can have a pink cupcake for dessert. But you have to eat all the broccoli in your bowl. Do you want a cupcake?"
+
+Anna and Ben love cupcakes. They look at each other and nod. They decide to have a race. Whoever eats their broccoli first gets the first cupcake. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and start to eat.
+
+Anna and Ben try to eat fast, but the broccoli is hot and bitter. They make funny noises and spit out some pieces. Mom laughs and says, "Slow down, you don't have to rush. The cupcakes are not going anywhere."
+
+Anna and Ben look at the cupcakes. They are pink and fluffy and have sprinkles on top. They want them so much. They try to eat more broccoli, but they feel full and sick. They look at each other and sigh.
+
+They say, "Mom, we don't like broccoli. Can we have a cupcake anyway?"
+
+Mom shakes her head and says, "No, you have to finish your soup first. Broccoli is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. Maybe you will like it more if you eat it slowly and with some cheese."
+
+Anna and Ben do not believe Mom. They think broccoli is bad for them. It makes them sad and angry. They push their bowls away and say, "No, thank you. We don't want soup. We don't want broccoli. We don't want cupcakes. We want to play."
+
+Mom frowns and says, "You can't play until you eat your soup. That's the rule. You have to eat what I make for you. It's not fair to waste food. There are many children who don't have enough to eat. You should be grateful and polite."
+
+Anna and Ben do not understand Mom. They think she is mean and unfair. They want to have fun and eat what they like. They start to cry and scream. They say, "We hate broccoli! We hate soup! We hate you!"
+
+Mom is sad and angry too. She says, "That's enough. You are being rude and naughty. You have to go to your room and think about what you said. You can't have any cupcakes or any toys. You can't play with each other. You are in time out."
+
+Anna and Ben are shocked and scared. They don't want to go to their room. They don't want to be alone. They don't want to be in trouble. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We didn't mean it. We love you. Please, can we have a cupcake?"
+
+Mom says, "No, you can't. You have to learn your lesson. Maybe tomorrow you will be nicer and try some broccoli. Now go to your room and don't come out until I say so."
+
+Anna and Ben are sad and sorry. They hold hands and walk to their room. They wish they had eaten their broccoli. They wish they had won the race. They wish they had a pink cupcake.
+One day, a little girl named Lily saw a big black bird on a tree. It was a raven. Lily liked birds, so she ran to the tree and said hello. But the raven did not say hello back. It ignored Lily and looked away.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She thought the raven was rude and ugly. She threw a stick at the raven and shouted, "Go away, you bad bird!" The raven was scared and flew away. Lily felt happy and proud.
+
+But then, Lily heard a loud cry. She looked up and saw another raven in the sky. It was the raven's friend. It was angry at Lily for hurting its friend. It dived down and pecked Lily's hair. Lily screamed and ran away.
+
+Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that birds have feelings too, and that she should not be mean to them. She learned that ignoring someone is not nice, and that ugly is not a good word. She learned to be kind and gentle to all animals.

+
+Ben says, "No, you can't. It is my train. It was my grandpa's train. He gave it to me. It is special. You can't play with it."
+
+Lily feels sad. She says, "But I want to play with it. It looks fun. I will be careful. I will give it back to you. Please, let me borrow your train."
+
+Ben says, "No, no, no. It is mine. Go away. Play with your ball."
+
+Lily cries. She runs to her room. She hugs her ball. She thinks Ben is mean. She does not want to be his friend anymore.
+
+Ben plays with his train. He makes it go fast and honks the horn. He thinks he is happy. But he is not. He misses Lily. He remembers how they used to play together. He feels sorry. He thinks he was selfish.
+
+He takes his train and goes to Lily's room. He knocks on the door. He says, "Lily, I am sorry. I was wrong. You can borrow my train. I want to share it with you. I want to be your friend. Will you forgive me?"
+
+Lily opens the door. She sees Ben and his train. She smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. You are a good friend. I will share my ball with you. Let's play together."
+
+They hug and play with the train and the ball. They are happy. They are friends.
+Ben and Mia were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a large box full of different things. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find new places.
+
+"Look, Mia, I found a volcano!" Ben said, holding up a cone-shaped toy. "It is red and black and has smoke coming out."
+
+"Wow, Ben, that is cool!" Mia said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Ben gave the volcano to Mia. She squeezed it and it made a loud noise. "Pop!" The smoke was actually a balloon that was inside the cone. Mia laughed and Ben laughed too.
+
+But then they heard a growl. They turned around and saw a large dog. It was not their dog. It was a stranger dog. It had big teeth and fur. It looked angry and hungry.
+
+"Run, Mia, run!" Ben shouted. He grabbed the volcano and threw it at the dog. The dog was scared of the noise and the smoke. It ran away, barking.
+
+Ben and Mia ran to their house. They hugged their mom and told her what happened. She was glad they were safe. She gave them cookies and milk.
+
+"Thank you, volcano, you saved us!" Ben said, looking at the toy. "You are the best toy ever!"
+
+Mia nodded. She squeezed the volcano again and it made another pop. They giggled and ate their cookies. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and eat together. One day, they see a large jar of jam on the table. They want to have some jam on their bread.
+
+"Let's get the jam," Lily says. "It looks yummy."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But we have to be careful. Mom said not to touch the jam."
+
+They climb on the chairs and reach for the jar. But the jar is too heavy and slippery. It falls from their hands and breaks on the floor. Jam splashes everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Ben cry. "We made a big mess!"
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the broken jar, the jam, and the twins. She is not happy.
+
+"What did you do?" Mom asks. "Why did you touch the jam?"
+
+"We wanted some jam on our bread," Lily says.
+
+"But we dropped the jar," Ben says.
+
+Mom sighs. "You should have asked me first. Now you have to help me clean up. And no jam for you today."
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry. They sit on the floor and help Mom wipe the jam. They promise not to touch the jam again. Mom hugs them and says she loves them. But she still does not give them any jam.
+Lily loved to read books. She read books about animals, plants, stars and many other things. She liked to learn new words and facts from the books. She also liked to share the books with her friends.
+
+One day, she found a book that had a picture of a wire on the cover. She wondered what a wire was and what it could do. She opened the book and started to read. The book told her that a wire was a thin and long piece of metal that could carry electricity. The book also showed her how to make a simple circuit with a wire, a battery and a light bulb.
+
+Lily was very excited and wanted to try it herself. She asked her mom if she could have a wire, a battery and a light bulb. Her mom said yes, but she also told her to be careful and not to touch the wire when it was connected to the battery. Lily said she understood and thanked her mom.
+
+Lily went to her room and followed the instructions in the book. She connected the wire to the battery and the light bulb. She was amazed when the light bulb lit up. She felt very happy and proud. She wanted to show her mom what she had done.
+
+She ran to the living room where her mom was sitting on the couch. She held the wire, the battery and the light bulb in her hands. She said, "Mom, look what I made! I read a book about wires and I made a light!"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Lily! You are very smart and curious. I'm proud of you for reading and learning new things. But be careful, don't touch the wire. It can hurt you if it has electricity."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I know, mom. I won't touch the wire. I just want to show you how it works."
+
+She put the wire, the battery and the light bulb on the coffee table. She said, "See, mom, when I connect the wire to the battery, the light bulb lights up. And when I disconnect the wire, the light bulb goes off. It's like magic!"
+
+Her mom said, "That's very cool, Lily. But do you know what's more amazing than magic?"
+
+Lily said, "What, mom?"
+
+Her mom said, "Compassion. Compassion is when you care about other people and animals and help them when they are sad or hurt. Compassion is more amazing than magic because it can make the world a better place. Do you know what compassion means, Lily?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment and said, "Is it like when I share my books with my friends? Or when I hug you when you are tired? Or when I feed the birds in the garden?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, Lily, those are all examples of compassion. You are very compassionate, Lily. And that makes me even more proud of you than your light. I love you, Lily."
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, mom. And I love to read books. And I love to be compassionate."
+
+They hugged each other and smiled. Lily learned a new word and a new value that day. She learned that reading can teach her many things, but compassion can touch many hearts.
+Anna and her mom went to the shop. They wanted to buy some food for dinner. Anna liked the shop. It had many colors and smells. She saw apples, bananas, carrots, cheese and more.
+
+"Can I help you, mom?" Anna asked. She wanted to be a good helper.
+
+"Sure, sweetie. You can fill this bag with some apples. We need four red ones and two green ones. Can you do that?" Mom said. She gave Anna a small bag and a smile.
+
+Anna nodded. She felt cheerful. She liked apples. They were sweet and crunchy. She looked for the red ones and the green ones. She counted them in her head. One, two, three, four, five, six. She put them in the bag. She was careful not to drop them.
+
+"Good job, Anna! You filled the bag with the right apples. You are a smart girl. Thank you for helping me." Mom said. She took the bag from Anna and put it in the cart.
+
+Anna beamed. She was happy. She hugged mom and said, "You're welcome, mom. I love you."
+
+"I love you too, Anna. Let's go and get some more food. We still need some bread, milk and eggs. Do you want to help me again?" Mom asked.
+

+Lila likes to polish her shoes. She has a red cloth and a shiny tin. She rubs the cloth on the tin and then on her shoes. She makes them look new and bright.
+
+One day, she sees a dog on the street. The dog is dirty and sad. He has no collar and no home. Lila feels sorry for the dog. She wants to help him.
+
+She goes to the shop and buys a treat for the dog. It is a bone with meat on it. She thinks the dog will like it. She walks back to the street and looks for the dog.
+
+She finds him under a tree. She calls him. "Hello, dog. I have something for you. Come here, please." But the dog does not move. He does not hear her. He is deaf.
+
+Lila does not know that. She thinks the dog is scared. She walks slowly to him. She holds out the treat. She smiles. "Don't be afraid, dog. I am your friend. See, I have a treat for you. It is yummy. You can have it."
+
+The dog smells the treat. He lifts his head. He sees Lila. He sees her shoes. They are shiny and red. He likes them. He wags his tail. He gets up and goes to Lila. He takes the treat from her hand. He licks her face. He is happy.
+
+Lila is happy too. She hugs the dog. She says, "You are a good dog. I will call you Ruby. Like my shoes. Do you like that name?" The dog does not understand her words. But he feels her love. He nods. He is Ruby. He has a friend. He has a home.
+Sara loves to play with her shape box. It has many holes of different shapes, and she has to find the right blocks to fit in them. She likes to say the names of the shapes out loud as she plays.
+
+One day, she sees a new shape on the box. It has four sides, but they are not all the same. It looks like a door or a window. She does not know what to call it. She looks at her blocks, but none of them match the new shape.
+
+She feels sad and confused. She wants to fill all the holes on the box. She asks her mom for help. Her mom smiles and picks up a block that Sara did not see before. It is hidden under a pillow. It has the same shape as the new hole.
+
+"Look, Sara, this is a rectangle. It has four sides, but two are long and two are short. Can you say rectangle?" her mom says.
+
+Sara repeats the word after her mom. She feels excited and curious. She takes the block and tries to fit it in the hole. It goes in perfectly. She claps her hands and cheers.
+
+"Good job, Sara! You recognized a new shape. You are very smart and clever. Do you want to learn more shapes?" her mom asks.
+
+Sara nods and hugs her mom. She wants to learn more shapes and have more fun with her shape box. She loves to play and learn with her mom.

+
+"Mom, Mom, help!" they cry.
+
+Mom picks them up and holds them. She pets the dog and says, "Don't be afraid. He is a friendly dog. He just wants to play."
+
+Lila and Ben look at the dog. He wags his tail and licks Mom's face. He looks nice.
+
+"Can we play with him, Mom?" Lila asks.
+
+"Sure, if his owner says yes," Mom says.
+
+They see a man coming. He is the dog's owner. He says, "Hi, I'm sorry if my dog scared you. He is very playful. His name is Tuna."

+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird on a tree. The bird has light blue feathers and a long tail.
+
+"Look, Lily, a bird!" Tom says.
+
+"Wow, it is so pretty!" Lily says.

+They want to talk to the bird. They walk to the tree and say hello.
+
+"Hello, bird, what is your name?" Tom asks.
+
+"Hello, children, my name is Tip," the bird says.
+
+"Tip? That is a funny name," Lily says.
+
+"Yes, it is. Do you know why I am called Tip?" the bird asks.
+
+"No, why?" Tom and Lily say.
+
+"Because I can tip my head like this," the bird says. He tips his head to the left and to the right.
+
+Tom and Lily laugh. They think Tip is a clever bird. They ask him many questions. Tip tells them about the sky, the clouds, and the other birds. They have a lot of fun.
+
+"Thank you, Tip, for talking to us. You are a nice bird," Tom says.
+
+"Thank you, Tom and Lily, for being kind to me. You are good friends," Tip says.
+
+They say goodbye and hug. Tom and Lily go back to their parents. They tell them about Tip. They hope to see him again.
+Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat some cookies. But Mom said no. She said they had to eat lunch first. She said cookies were not good for their body.
+
+Tom and Lily did not like lunch. They did not want to eat soup and bread. They wanted to eat cookies. They had a plan. They waited for Mom to work in the garden. Then they ran to the kitchen. They saw a big jar of cookies on the shelf.
+
+"Look, Lily, cookies!" Tom said. He climbed on a chair. He reached for the jar. He pulled it down. But the jar was too heavy. It slipped from his hand. It fell on the floor. It broke into pieces. Cookies and glass were everywhere.
+
+"Tom, what did you do?" Lily said. She was scared. She saw blood on Tom's hand. He had cut himself on the glass. He cried. It hurt.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She came to the kitchen. She saw the mess. She saw Tom's hand. She was angry and worried. She said, "Tom, Lily, how could you? You were very naughty. You did not listen to me. You made a big mess. You hurt yourself. Now you have to go to the doctor. And no cookies for you. Ever."
+
+Tom and Lily were sorry. They wished they had eaten lunch. They wished they had not touched the cookies. They learned their lesson. Cookies were not worth it. They were not delicious. They were dangerous.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big beetle on a leaf. It was shiny and black.
+
+"Wow, look at that beetle!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. Can I hold it?"
+
+"OK, but be careful. It might bite you." Tom said. He picked up the beetle and gave it to Lily.
+
+Lily was happy. She held the beetle in her hand. She felt its legs tickle her palm. She smiled and said, "Hello, beetle. You are my friend."
+
+The beetle did not like being held. It wanted to be free. It was flexible and strong. It wriggled and twisted in Lily's hand. It opened its jaws and bit Lily's finger.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She dropped the beetle and shook her hand. She felt a sharp pain in her finger. She saw blood on her skin.
+
+"Are you OK, Lily?" Tom asked. He ran to her and looked at her finger. He saw a red mark where the beetle bit her.
+
+"No, I'm not OK. It hurts. The beetle was mean. It was not my friend." Lily said. She started to cry.
+
+Tom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I should have told you not to hold the beetle. It was not a nice bug. It was a bad bug. Come on, let's go inside and get a band-aid."
+
+They left the garden and went inside. The beetle settled on the leaf again. It was glad to be free. It did not care about Lily and Tom. It was not their friend. It was a bad bug.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Lily gets a new toy. It is a fish that can swim in water. Lily is very happy. She wants to show Ben her new fish.
+
+She goes to Ben's house and knocks on the door. Ben opens the door and sees Lily's fish. He thinks it is cool. He says, "Wow, Lily, you have a new fish! Can I see it?"
+
+Lily says, "Yes, you can see it. But be careful. It is not a real fish. It is a toy fish. It needs batteries to swim."
+
+Ben says, "OK, I will be careful. Can I test it? Can I put it in water and see how it swims?"
+
+Lily says, "Sure, you can test it. But only in a small bowl. Not in the sink or the tub. The water is too big and too deep. The fish might get lost or broken."
+
+Ben says, "OK, I will use a small bowl. Come on, let's go to the kitchen."
+
+They go to the kitchen and find a small bowl. Ben fills it with water and puts the fish in it. The fish starts to swim. It moves its tail and fins. It looks like a real fish. Lily and Ben are very happy. They clap their hands and laugh.
+
+But then, Ben has an idea. He says, "Lily, I want to see how fast the fish can swim. Can I test it in the sink?"
+
+Lily says, "No, Ben, you can't. The sink is too big and too deep. The fish might get lost or broken. Remember what I said?"
+
+Ben says, "But it will be fun. Just for a little bit. Please, Lily, let me test it in the sink."
+
+Lily says, "No, Ben, you can't. It is my new fish. It is my toy. You have to listen to me."
+
+But Ben does not listen. He grabs the fish from the bowl and runs to the sink. He turns on the faucet and lets the water run. He throws the fish in the sink and watches it swim.
+
+But the water is too big and too deep. The fish can't swim. It sinks to the bottom. It stops moving. It is broken.
+
+Lily sees what Ben did. She is very sad. She cries. She says, "Ben, you broke my new fish! You are a bad friend! You did not listen to me! You did not care about my toy!"
+
+Ben sees what he did. He is very sorry. He says, "Lily, I'm sorry. I did not mean to break your new fish. I was just curious. I wanted to see how fast it could swim. I did not think it would break. I am a bad friend. I did not listen to you. I did not care about your toy."
+
+But it is too late. The fish is broken. Lily is sad. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She takes her fish and goes home. She does not say goodbye to Ben.
+
+Ben is sad. He does not have a friend anymore. He does not have a fish anymore. He wishes he had listened to Lily. He wishes he had cared about her toy. He wishes he had not tested the fish in the sink. He wishes he could say sorry to Lily. But he can't. He is alone. He cries.
+Ben and Mia like to play with tools. They have a big box of tools in their room. They have hammers, nails, screws, pliers, and more. They like to attach things together with their tools.
+
+One day, they decide to make a boat with their tools. They find some wood, some cardboard, and some tape. They use the hammer and nails to attach the wood together. They use the tape to attach the cardboard on top of the wood. They make a sail with a stick and a cloth.
+
+"Look, we made a boat!" Ben says. "Let's go to the pond and sail it!"
+
+"Okay!" Mia says. "But we need to be careful. The pond is wet and deep."
+
+They carry their boat to the pond. They put it on the water and push it gently. The boat floats and moves with the wind.
+
+"Wow, our boat is so good!" Mia says. "It does not sink or break."
+
+"Let's pretend we are pirates!" Ben says. "We can look for treasure and fight other boats!"
+
+They have fun playing with their boat. They use sticks and stones as treasure and pretend to shoot cannons. They laugh and shout.
+
+But then, a big wave comes and hits their boat. The boat flips over and sinks. The cardboard gets wet and falls apart. The wood gets wet and heavy.
+
+"Oh no, our boat!" Ben cries. "It is gone!"
+
+Mia cries too. "We worked so hard to make it!"
+
+They run to the shore and look for their boat. But they cannot see it. It is under the water.
+
+They are very sad. They hug each other and cry.
+
+A man sees them and comes to help. He is a fisherman. He has a net and a hook.
+
+"What's wrong, kids?" he asks. "Why are you crying?"
+
+"We lost our boat!" Ben says. "We made it with our tools and it sank!"
+
+The man feels sorry for them. He says, "Don't worry, I can help you. I have a tool that can attach to your boat and pull it out. It is called a hook. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Ben and Mia nod. They want to see their boat again.
+
+The man gives them his hook and shows them how to use it. He says, "You have to throw the hook into the water and wait for it to catch something. Then you have to pull it back. Maybe you will find your boat."
+
+Ben and Mia take turns to throw the hook. They hope to find their boat. They wait and pull.
+
+After a few tries, they feel something heavy on the hook. They pull harder and harder. They see something coming out of the water.
+
+It is their boat!
+
+They are very happy. They cheer and clap.
+
+They thank the man for his help. He says, "You're welcome, kids. You have a nice boat. But next time, be careful with the water. It can make things wet and ruin them."
+
+Ben and Mia agree. They say, "We will be careful. And we will use better tools to make our boat stronger."
+
+They take their boat and go back to their room. They dry it and fix it. They use glue and plastic to attach it better.
+
+They are proud of their boat. They say, "We have the best boat ever!"
+
+They hug their boat and smile.
+Ben and Lily were playing chess with their dad. Chess was a game with black and white pieces that moved on a board. Ben and Lily liked chess because it made them think and have fun.
+
+But their bunny, Snowy, did not like chess. Snowy was a cute and fluffy bunny who liked to hop and nibble on carrots. Snowy thought chess was boring and wanted to play with Ben and Lily. So Snowy hopped on the board and knocked over some pieces.
+
+"Snowy, no!" Ben shouted. "You messed up our game!"
+
+"Bad bunny!" Lily scolded. "Go back to your cage!"
+
+Snowy looked at them with his big and sad eyes. He did not mean to be bad. He just wanted to join them. He made a soft noise and rubbed his nose.
+
+Dad smiled and picked up Snowy. He hugged him and said, "It's okay, Snowy. We know you love us. But chess is not a game for bunnies. How about we give you a carrot and a toy to play with?"
+
+Snowy nodded and licked Dad's cheek. He was happy to get a carrot and a toy. He hopped to his cage and started to nibble and play.
+
+Ben and Lily fixed the board and continued their game. They still liked chess, but they also loved Snowy. They decided to play with him later and give him more hugs.
+Ben and Lily liked to play outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him a name: Frosty.
+
+"Hello, Frosty!" Ben said. "You are our friend!"
+
+"Yes, you are!" Lily agreed. "We will have fun with you!"
+
+But the sun was shining and the snow was melting. Frosty started to get smaller and smaller. His hat fell off, his scarf slipped and his nose dropped.
+
+"Oh no, Frosty!" Ben cried. "You are going away!"
+
+Lily was sad too. She hugged Frosty. "We don't want you to go!"
+
+Frosty smiled. He had a small voice. "Don't be sad, Ben and Lily. I had a good time with you. But I have to go now. The river is calling me."
+
+"The river?" Ben asked. "What is the river?"
+
+"The river is where the water goes when it melts. It is a big and fast water. It flows and sings and makes new friends. Maybe I will see you again when it snows."
+
+"Really?" Lily asked. "Can we see you again?"
+
+"Maybe," Frosty said. "But you have to be enthusiastic. You have to look for me and make me again. And you have to play with me and love me."
+
+"We will, Frosty!" Ben and Lily said. "We will be enthusiastic! We will look for you and make you again! And we will play with you and love you!"
+
+Frosty nodded. He was happy. He said goodbye to Ben and Lily. Then he melted and became part of the river. Ben and Lily waved to him. They hoped to see him again. They went inside and drank hot chocolate. They talked about Frosty and their adventures. They were enthusiastic. They loved Frosty. And Frosty loved them.
+Lily likes yoga. Yoga is when you make shapes with your body and breathe. Lily has a yoga mat. It is pink and soft. She puts it on the floor in her room.
+
+Lily's mom does yoga too. She has a yoga mat. It is blue and big. She puts it on the floor in the living room. Lily's mom is serious. She says yoga is good for her mind and body.
+
+One day, Lily's dad arrives home early. He sees Lily and her mom doing yoga. He smiles and says hello. He wants to join them. He does not have a yoga mat. He uses a towel. It is green and small.
+
+Lily's dad tries to make shapes with his body and breathe. He is not very good. He falls and makes noises. Lily and her mom laugh. They help him up. They say yoga is fun and easy.
+
+Lily's dad agrees. He says he likes yoga. He hugs Lily and her mom. They hug him back. They are happy. They do yoga together.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but they wanted more. They saw a big box under the tree. It had a shiny wrap and a bow. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom said. "Maybe it is a new toy for us!"
+
+"No, we can't!" Lily said. "It is not our box. It is for Mom and Dad. They will be angry if we open it. They will punish us!"
+
+"But I want to see!" Tom said. He did not listen to Lily. He grabbed the box and tore the wrap. He opened the box and saw a cake. It had white cream and red berries. It looked yummy.
+
+"Wow, a cake!" Tom said. He licked his lips. He was hungry. He took a big bite of the cake. It was sweet and soft.
+
+"Tom, stop!" Lily said. "That is not our cake! That is Mom and Dad's cake! They made it for their anniversary. They will be very sad if they see you ate it!"
+
+But Tom did not stop. He ate more and more of the cake. He made a big mess. He got cream and berries on his face and clothes. He did not care.
+
+Soon, Mom and Dad came home. They saw the box and the cake. They saw Tom and Lily. They saw the mess. They were very angry.
+
+"Tom, what did you do?" Mom said. "You ruined our cake! You were very naughty!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Tom said. He felt bad. He knew he did something wrong.
+
+"You are sorry, but you are also punished," Dad said. "You have to go to your room. You have to clean your face and clothes. You have to say sorry to Lily. And you have to make a new cake for us."
+
+Tom nodded. He went to his room. He did what Dad said. He learned his lesson. He did not touch other people's things again. He was a good boy.
+Lily loved to play the violin. She had a small violin that her mom gave her for her birthday. She liked to make music with it and sing along. She was very happy with her violin.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and her violin. She saw a boy playing with a ball. He threw the ball high in the air and caught it. Lily wanted to play with him. She ran to him and said, "Hi, can I play with you?"
+
+The boy looked at her and saw her violin. He was jealous of her violin. He said, "No, you can't play with me. Your violin is stupid. It makes noise. I don't like it." He grabbed her violin and ran away.
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She chased after him and shouted, "Give me back my violin! It's mine! It's not stupid! It's beautiful!" She tried to catch him, but he was faster.
+
+The boy ran to the bridge over the pond. He stopped and turned around. He laughed at Lily and said, "Look, I have your violin. Do you want it back?" He held the violin over the water and said, "Oops!" He dropped the violin into the pond.
+
+Lily saw her violin fall into the water. She screamed and cried. She ran to the edge of the bridge and looked down. She saw her violin sinking into the dark water. She could not reach it. She could not save it. She lost her violin.
+
+She sobbed and said, "My violin, my violin, my violin." Her mom came and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That boy was very mean. He should not have taken your violin. He should not have dropped it into the pond. He was very bad."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "He was very bad. He was very jealous. He ruined my violin. I hate him." She cried and cried. She was very unhappy. She missed her violin. She wished she had never met that boy. She wished she had never gone to the park. She wished she still had her violin.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the snow. They put on their warm coats, hats, and boots. They go outside with their mom.
+
+"Look, mom, there are animal tracks in the snow!" Anna says. She points to some paw prints.
+
+"Let's follow them and see where they go," Ben says. He runs after the tracks.
+
+"Wait for me!" Anna says. She runs after Ben.
+
+Mom follows them too. She smiles and watches them have fun.
+
+The tracks lead them to a big tree. Under the tree, there is a hole. Ben and Anna peek inside. They see a furry animal sleeping. It is a raccoon.
+
+"Shh, don't wake him up," mom says. "He is very comfortable in his cozy home."
+
+"He has a lot of powder on his nose," Anna says. She giggles.
+
+"Maybe he likes to eat snow," Ben says. He giggles too.
+
+They leave the raccoon alone and go back to their house. They drink hot chocolate and tell dad about their adventure. They are happy and warm.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with colorful cards. The cards have animals on them. Lily and Max take turns to pick a card and say the animal's name.
+
+Lily picks a card with a lion. She says, "Lion! Roar!" Max picks a card with a fish. He says, "Fish! Splash!" They have fun.
+
+Then Lily picks a card with a shower. She does not know what it is. She looks at Max. Max knows what it is. He says, "Shower! You use it to get clean. You win, Lily! You have more cards than me."
+
+Lily is happy. She says, "Thank you, Max! You are a good friend. Do you want to play again?"
+
+Max nods. He says, "Yes, please. I like this game. Maybe I can win next time."
+
+They smile and shuffle the cards. They play again. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their marbles on the floor. They liked to roll them and see who could get them closer to the wall. Lily had a shiny blue marble that was her favorite. Ben had a red marble that was very rough.
+
+"Can I see your marble?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It is very pretty and smooth," Lily said. She gave her blue marble to Ben.
+
+Ben looked at the blue marble and felt how smooth it was. He wanted to keep it for himself. He put it in his pocket and gave Lily his red marble instead.
+
+"Here, you can have mine. It is very rough and fast," he said.
+
+Lily took the red marble and felt how rough it was. She did not like it at all. She looked at Ben and saw a bulge in his pocket.
+
+"Hey, that is not fair! You took my blue marble and gave me your rough one. Give it back!" she said.
+
+"No, I like your blue marble. It is mine now. You can keep the rough one," Ben said.
+
+Lily was very angry and sad. She started to cry. She wanted her blue marble back.
+
+Mom heard Lily crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily holding the red marble and Ben holding the blue marble in his hand.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Ben took my blue marble and gave me his rough one. He is mean!" Lily said.
+
+"Ben, is that true? Did you take Lily's marble?" Mom asked.
+
+Ben looked down and nodded. He felt bad for making Lily cry.
+
+"Ben, that is not nice. You should not take things that are not yours. You should give Lily her marble back and say sorry," Mom said.
+
+Ben gave the blue marble back to Lily and said sorry. Lily smiled and said thank you. She gave Ben a hug.
+
+Mom was proud of them for making up. She gave them both a kiss.
+
+"Why don't you play together and share your marbles? You can have more fun that way," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They played with their marbles and took turns rolling them. They learned to be kind and fair. They had a lot of fun.
+Lily liked to follow her big sister Mia everywhere. Mia was very good at many things, like drawing, singing and climbing trees. Lily wanted to be like Mia, so she followed her and copied her.
+
+One day, Mia took Lily to the park. They saw a big slide, a swing, a seesaw and a sandbox. Mia ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Lily followed her, but she was frightened. The slide was very high and steep. Lily did not want to go down.
+
+Mia saw that Lily was frightened and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will help you. Hold my hand and we will go down together. It will be fun." Mia smiled and held out her hand. Lily trusted Mia, so she held her hand and closed her eyes.
+
+They slid down the slide very fast. Lily felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She opened her eyes and saw Mia laughing. Lily laughed too. She was not frightened anymore. She liked the slide.
+
+They played on the swing, the seesaw and the sandbox. They had a lot of fun. Then they saw a man selling snacks. Mia said, "Let's get something to eat. I'm hungry." Lily agreed. They went to the man and saw that he had many things, like cookies, chips, apples and olives.
+
+Mia liked olives, so she asked for some. Lily did not like olives, but she wanted to be like Mia, so she followed her and asked for some too. The man gave them each a small cup of olives. Mia thanked him and ate her olives. Lily thanked him and looked at her olives. They were green and round and had a hole in the middle. Lily did not think they looked good.
+
+She tried to eat one, but she did not like it. It was salty and bitter and made her mouth pucker. She spit it out and made a face. Mia saw that Lily did not like olives and said, "It's okay, Lily. You don't have to eat them if you don't like them. You can have some of my cookies instead." Mia gave Lily a cookie and took her olives. Lily thanked Mia and ate her cookie. She liked cookies.
+
+They finished their snacks and went back to playing. They had a wonderful day at the park. Lily learned that she did not have to follow Mia in everything, but she still loved her big sister very much. Mia learned that she did not have to make Lily like everything she liked, but she still enjoyed sharing with her little sister very much. They were happy.
+Lila was a shy girl. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her toys and read her books. She had a big teddy bear that she called Ben. Ben was her best friend.
+
+One day, Lila and her mom went to the park. There were many kids there. They were running, jumping, and laughing. Lila felt scared. She held her mom's hand and stayed close to her.
+
+"Look, Lila, there is a well over there. Do you want to see it?" her mom asked.
+
+Lila nodded. She liked wells. She had seen them in her books. She wondered what was inside them. She followed her mom to the well. It was round and made of stone. There was a rope and a bucket hanging from it.
+
+"Be careful, Lila. Don't lean too much over the well. You might fall in," her mom warned.
+
+Lila nodded again. She looked into the well. It was dark and deep. She could not see anything. She thought maybe there was water at the bottom. Or maybe there was something else. She was curious.
+
+"Hello, hello, hello!" a voice echoed from the well.
+
+Lila jumped. She was surprised. Who was that? She looked around. She saw a boy standing on the other side of the well. He had brown hair and blue eyes. He was smiling.
+
+"Hi, I'm Max. Who are you?" he asked.
+
+Lila felt shy. She did not know what to say. She hid behind her mom.
+
+"Hi, Max. I'm Lila's mom. Lila is a little shy. She doesn't talk much," her mom explained.
+
+"That's okay. I like shy girls. They are nice and quiet. Do you want to play with me, Lila?" Max asked.
+
+Lila looked at Max. He seemed friendly. He did not look mean or loud. She thought maybe he could be her friend. She looked at her mom. Her mom nodded and smiled.
+
+Lila took a deep breath. She let go of her mom's hand. She walked to the well. She looked at Max.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lila. I like wells. And teddy bears. And books," she said.
+
+"Hi, Lila. I like wells too. And cars. And dogs. Do you want to see my car? It's over there," Max said.
+
+Lila nodded. She followed Max to his car. It was red and shiny. It had four wheels and a horn. Max showed her how to push it and make it go. Lila liked it. She smiled.
+
+Lila and Max played with the car and the well. They talked and laughed. They became friends. Lila was not shy anymore. She was happy.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bike with many spikes on it. The bike belonged to a rich boy who lived nearby. He was mean and did not share his toys.
+
+"Wow, look at that bike!" Lily said. "It has so many spikes. I want to touch them."
+
+"No, Lily, don't!" Ben said. "The spikes are sharp. They can hurt you. And the boy will be angry if you touch his bike."
+
+But Lily did not listen to Ben. She ignored him and ran to the bike. She reached out her hand and touched a spike. "Ow!" she cried. "It hurts!"
+
+The rich boy heard Lily and came out of his house. He saw Lily touching his bike and got very mad. He shouted at her and pushed her away. He kicked the bike and made it fall on Lily. The spikes cut Lily's skin and made her bleed.
+
+Ben ran to help Lily. He was scared and sad. He tried to lift the bike off Lily, but it was too heavy. He called for help, but no one came. Lily was hurt and crying. The rich boy laughed and went back to his house. He did not care about Lily and Ben. He only cared about his bike. He was a bad boy.
+Sara and Ben like to play at the park. They have a toy boat that they sail on the pond. They pretend to be sailors and have adventures.
+
+One day, a big boy comes to the pond. He has a bike and a ball. He sees Sara and Ben's boat and wants to play with it. He does not ask. He just takes it.
+
+"Hey, that is our boat!" Sara says. "Give it back!"
+
+The big boy does not listen. He is rude. He laughs and throws the boat in the air. He catches it and throws it again.
+
+Ben is angry. He runs to the big boy and tries to get the boat. The big boy pushes him and makes him fall. Ben cries.
+
+Sara runs to help Ben. She sees a man walking by. He has a hat and a beard. He looks like a real sailor.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Sara says. "Can you help us? That boy took our boat and he is rude."
+
+The man stops and looks at the pond. He sees the big boy and the boat. He seems to know what to do.
+
+He walks to the big boy and says, "Hey, kid, that is not your boat. That is their boat. Give it back or I will tell your mom."
+
+The big boy is scared. He does not want to get in trouble. He gives the boat back to Sara and Ben. He says, "Sorry" and rides away on his bike.
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They thank the man and hug their boat. The man smiles and says, "You are welcome. I am a sailor and I know how to deal with rude people. Have fun with your boat and be careful."
+
+Sara and Ben wave to the man and go back to the pond. They sail their boat and have more adventures. They are glad they met a nice sailor.
+Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were mail carriers and deliver letters to each other. Lily had a big box of envelopes and stickers that she used to make her letters. Max had a small bag and a bike that he used to carry his letters.
+
+Lily wrote a letter to Max with her crayons. She drew a picture of a rainbow and a sun. She wrote "I love you Max" at the bottom. She put the letter in an envelope and sealed it with a heart sticker. She wanted to make the letter special for Max, so she looked for something else to put in the envelope. She saw a big rock on the floor that she had found in the park. She thought Max would like the rock, so she put it in the envelope too. The envelope became very heavy, but Lily did not mind. She attached the envelope to Max's bike with a string.
+
+Max came back from delivering his letter to Lily. He saw the envelope on his bike and smiled. He wondered what Lily had written to him. He took the envelope and tried to open it, but it was too heavy. He could not lift it with his hands. He asked Lily for help.
+
+"Lily, what did you put in this envelope? It is very heavy!" Max said.
+
+"I put a letter and a rock for you, Max. Do you like it?" Lily said.
+
+"A rock? Why did you put a rock in the envelope, Lily?" Max said.
+
+"Because I wanted to give you something nice. The rock is shiny and smooth. I found it in the park. It is your rock now, Max." Lily said.
+
+Max looked at the rock and saw that it was shiny and smooth. He liked the rock, but he liked the letter more. He hugged Lily and thanked her for the letter and the rock.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. I love you too. And I love the rock. It is a very nice rock. But next time, can you put it in a different envelope? This one is too heavy for me." Max said.
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She and Max decided to play with the rock and the letter. They had fun pretending they were mail carriers and friends.
+Lily and Max were hungry. They went to the kitchen to find something to eat. They saw a big bowl of fruit on the table. There were apples, oranges, grapes and bananas.
+
+"Which fruit do you want?" Lily asked Max.
+
+"I want a banana," Max said. He liked bananas. They were yellow and sweet and easy to peel.
+
+"Me too," Lily said. She reached for a banana, but Max was faster. He grabbed the last banana in the bowl.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. She was sad and angry. She wanted a banana too.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, but I saw it first," Max said. He was happy and proud. He had the banana he wanted.
+
+Lily and Max started to argue. They raised their voices and made faces at each other. They did not share or say sorry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Lily and Max fighting over the banana. She was not pleased.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Lily and Max told Mom what happened. Mom shook her head.
+
+"You two need to learn how to share and be kind," Mom said. "Fighting over a banana is not nice. How do you think the banana feels?"
+
+Lily and Max looked at the banana. They had not thought about how the banana felt. They felt sorry for the banana.
+
+"The banana must feel sad and scared," Lily said.
+
+"And lonely and hurt," Max said.
+
+They decided to make the banana feel better. They broke the banana in half and gave each other a piece. They smiled and said thank you. They ate the banana together and enjoyed it.
+
+The banana felt cheerful and loved. It was happy to be shared by Lily and Max.
+
+Mom saw Lily and Max sharing and being kind. She was proud and happy.
+
+"That's much better," Mom said. "You two are good friends. Sharing is caring."
+
+Lily and Max hugged Mom and each other. They agreed.
+
+"Sharing is caring," they said. "And bananas are yummy."
+Lily was a little girl who loved to fly. She had a big bed with a pink blanket and many pillows. Every night, she would jump on her bed and pretend she was a bird or a plane. She would flap her arms and make noises like "whoosh" and "zoom".
+
+One night, her mom came to her room and saw her flying on her bed. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, stop flying on your bed. It is dangerous. You can fall and hurt yourself. Or you can break your bed and make a mess. Flying is for outside, not for inside. Go to sleep now."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She said, "No, mom. I want to fly. Flying is fun. I am not scared. I am careful. Please let me fly." She kept jumping on her bed and flying higher and higher.
+
+Her mom sighed and left her room. She hoped Lily would get tired and stop flying soon. She did not know that Lily had a plan. She wanted to fly out of the window and see the stars. She thought it would be beautiful and exciting.
+
+She waited until her mom was asleep. Then she opened the window and climbed on the sill. She looked at the night sky and saw the moon and the stars. She smiled and said, "I am going to fly to the moon. It will be amazing." She spread her arms and jumped.
+
+But she did not fly. She fell. She screamed and cried. She was scared and hurt. She landed on the grass and felt pain in her legs and arms. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had stayed on her bed.
+
+Her mom heard her scream and ran outside. She saw Lily on the ground and hugged her. She said, "Lily, what did you do? Why did you jump out of the window? You could have died. You are lucky you only have some bruises and scratches. You are very silly and naughty. You need to learn to obey and be safe. Flying is not for little girls. Flying is for birds and planes."
+
+Lily sobbed and said, "I am sorry, mom. I was wrong. I wanted to fly to the moon. But I could not fly. I only fell. It was not fun. It was dangerous. I will never fly on my bed or out of the window again. I will only fly in my dreams. Please forgive me, mom."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "I forgive you, Lily. I love you. But you need to promise me you will never do that again. And you need to go to bed now. It is late and you need to rest. Tomorrow, we can go to the park and fly a kite. That is a safe and fun way to fly. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I promise, mom. I love you, mom. Thank you, mom." She hugged her mom and went to bed. She closed her eyes and dreamed of flying with a kite. She was happy and safe. She learned her lesson.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+"Let's go inside and have some cookies," Lily said. "I'm cold and hungry."
+
+"OK," Ben said. "But first, let's say goodbye to our snowman."
+
+They hugged their snowman and thanked him for being their friend. Then they ran to the house. Their mom was waiting for them with a tray of warm cookies.
+
+"Here you are, my little snowflakes," she said. "You must be freezing. Come and have some warm cookies and milk."
+
+"Thank you, mom," Lily and Ben said. They took a cookie each and bit into them. They were soft and sweet and had chocolate chips.
+
+"Mmm, these are the best cookies ever," Lily said.
+
+"I agree," Ben said. "They make me feel warm and cozy."
+
+They smiled at each other and ate their cookies. They forgot about the cold and the snow. They only thought about how much they loved their mom and their cookies.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to draw with crayons on paper. They have many colorful crayons. Red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They draw flowers, cars, animals, and houses.
+
+But sometimes they make mistakes. They draw outside the lines, or they change their minds. Then they need an eraser. An eraser can make the crayons go away. They can start again.
+
+But Anna and Ben have only one eraser. It is white and small. They both want to use it. They start to fight.
+
+"Give me the eraser!" Anna says.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben says.
+
+They pull the eraser from each other. They are angry and sad.
+
+Then they hear a voice. It is their teacher, Miss Lee. She sees them fighting.
+
+"Anna, Ben, what are you doing?" she asks.
+
+"We are fighting for the eraser!" they say.
+
+"Why are you fighting?" she asks.
+
+"Because we have only one eraser!" they say.
+
+Miss Lee smiles. She has an idea.
+
+"Look, children," she says. "I have something for you."
+
+She shows them a big eraser. It is colorful. It has many colors. Red, blue, yellow, green, and more. It is like a rainbow.
+
+"This is a special eraser," she says. "It can erase any color. And it is big enough for both of you. You can share it."
+
+Anna and Ben look at the eraser. They like it. It is pretty and fun.
+
+"Wow, thank you, Miss Lee!" they say.
+
+They stop fighting. They smile at each other. They are friends again.
+
+They take the eraser and go back to their paper. They erase their mistakes. They draw new pictures. They use the colorful eraser together.
+
+They are happy. They unite.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They lived in a big house near a valley. The valley had many trees and flowers and animals. Sometimes, Lily and Ben would go to the valley with their mom and dad and have a picnic.
+
+One day, they saw a big bird in the sky. It was white and had long wings and a long neck. It was a swan. The swan flew over the valley and looked for a place to land. Lily and Ben wanted to see the swan up close. They asked their mom and dad if they could follow the swan.
+
+Mom and dad said yes, but they had to be careful and quiet. They did not want to scare the swan. They packed their picnic basket and walked to the valley. They saw the swan land on a pond. The pond was shiny and blue. The swan looked happy and peaceful.
+
+Lily and Ben crept closer to the pond. They hid behind a bush and watched the swan. The swan was graceful. It moved its wings and neck slowly and gently. It dipped its head in the water and drank. It made soft sounds. Lily and Ben smiled. They thought the swan was beautiful.
+
+Then, the swan turned and saw them. It was not angry or afraid. It was curious. It swam towards them and stretched its neck. Lily and Ben came out of the bush and said hello. The swan said hello back in its own way. It let them touch its feathers and beak. It was soft and warm. Lily and Ben felt happy and calm. They shared their picnic with the swan. They gave it some bread and fruits. The swan liked them. They became friends.
+
+Mom and dad watched them from a distance. They were proud and glad. They took a picture of Lily and Ben and the swan. They wanted to remember this day. They thanked the swan for being kind and gentle. They said goodbye and promised to come back. The swan nodded and waved. It flew away in the sky. Lily and Ben waved back. They hoped to see the swan again. They loved the valley and the swan.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the pool. Lily is a dancer. She can spin and jump and twirl. Ben is a diver. He can splash and dive and swim.
+
+One day, they have a game. Lily says, "I will show you a dance. Then you show me a dive. We take turns. OK?" Ben says, "OK. You go first."
+
+Lily dances on the edge of the pool. She is cheerful. She smiles and waves her arms. She does a big jump and lands in the water. Ben claps and says, "Wow! That was a good dance!"
+
+Ben dives from the board. He is brave. He makes a big splash and swims to Lily. Lily cheers and says, "Wow! That was a good dive!"
+
+They have fun. They dance and dive and laugh. They are happy. They are friends.
+Sara was sad. She had a fever and could not go out to play. Mom put a thermometer in her mouth to see how hot she was. Sara did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and made her tongue feel funny.
+
+Mom looked at the thermometer and said, "Oh, Sara, you are very hot. You need to rest and drink some water. Maybe you will feel better tomorrow." She gave Sara a hug and a kiss and tucked her in bed. She put a wet cloth on her forehead to cool her down.
+
+Sara wanted to play with her toys and her friends. She did not want to rest and drink water. She was bored and lonely. She did not know why she was sick. She wished she could be well again.
+
+She heard a knock on the door. It was her brother, Ben. He had a big smile on his face and a book in his hand. He said, "Hi, Sara, I have a surprise for you. I found a book with funny stories and pictures. Do you want me to read it to you?" Sara nodded. She liked books and stories. She liked her brother, too. He was nice and funny.
+
+Ben sat on the bed and opened the book. He read the stories and showed the pictures to Sara. He made funny voices and noises. Sara laughed and smiled. She forgot about the thermometer and the fever. She felt happy and warm. She did not feel sad anymore. She knew that Ben loved her and wanted her to feel better. She loved him, too. She said, "Thank you, Ben, you are the best brother ever." Ben said, "You are welcome, Sara, you are the best sister ever." They hugged and kissed and read more stories. Sara felt sleepy and closed her eyes. Ben said, "Good night, Sara, sweet dreams." He put the book away and turned off the light. He said, "I hope you will be well tomorrow. I want to play with you." Sara said, "Me, too. Good night, Ben, I love you." They both fell asleep.
+Ben and Lily like to jog with their dad in the park. They put on their shoes and hats and go outside. Dad says, "Ready, set, go!" and they start to run.
+
+Ben is fast and runs ahead of Lily and Dad. He likes to see the birds and the flowers and the swings. He feels happy and strong. Lily is slower and stays with Dad. She likes to talk to him and ask him questions. She feels curious and smart.
+
+"Look, Dad, a squirrel!" Lily says, pointing to a furry animal on a tree. "What is it doing?"
+
+"It is looking for nuts, Lily. Squirrels like to eat nuts and store them for winter. They are very alert and clever," Dad says.
+
+"Can we feed it, Dad? I have some nuts in my pocket," Lily says.
+
+"Maybe, but be careful, Lily. Squirrels are shy and might run away if you get too close. You have to be gentle and quiet," Dad says.
+
+Lily nods and takes out a nut from her pocket. She holds it in her hand and walks slowly to the tree. She sees the squirrel's black eyes and bushy tail. She smiles and whispers, "Hello, squirrel. I have a nut for you. Do you want it?"
+
+The squirrel looks at Lily and the nut. It sniffs the air and twitches its nose. It is hungry and curious. It hops down from the branch and comes closer to Lily. It reaches out its paw and takes the nut from Lily's hand. It nibbles on it and makes a happy sound.
+
+Lily giggles and says, "You're welcome, squirrel. You're very cute and friendly."
+
+The squirrel finishes the nut and looks at Lily again. It wants more. It climbs on Lily's arm and sits on her shoulder. It nuzzles her ear and makes another happy sound.
+
+Lily laughs and says, "You're very funny, squirrel. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Dad watches Lily and the squirrel. He is surprised and proud. He says, "Wow, Lily, you're very brave and kind. You made a new friend today."
+
+Ben comes back from the swings. He sees Lily and the squirrel. He is jealous and angry. He says, "Hey, that's not fair! I want a squirrel too!"
+
+He runs to the tree and tries to grab another squirrel. But the squirrel is scared and angry. It hisses and scratches Ben's hand. It runs away and hides.
+
+Ben cries and says, "Ow, ow, ow! That squirrel is mean and rude!"
+
+Dad goes to Ben and hugs him. He says, "I'm sorry, Ben. You hurt yourself and the squirrel. You have to be gentle and quiet, remember? Squirrels are shy and might run away if you get too close."
+
+Ben sighs and says, "I'm sorry, Dad. I was too loud and rough. I just wanted a squirrel too."
+
+Dad says, "I know, Ben. But you can't force a squirrel to be your friend. You have to be patient and respectful. Maybe next time, you can try again. But for now, let's go home and put some ice on your hand."
+
+Ben nods and says, "OK, Dad. Can I have a nut too?"
+
+Dad smiles and says, "Sure, Ben. You can have a nut too."
+
+He gives Ben a nut and they walk home. Lily and the squirrel follow them. Lily says, "Bye, bye, park. Bye, bye, birds and flowers and swings. Bye, bye, squirrel. See you soon."
+
+The squirrel says, "Bye, bye, Lily. Thank you for the nut and the hug. See you soon."
+
+They all go home and have a snack and a nap. They are happy and tired. They had a fun jog in the park.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were a family and they were the parents. They gave their dolls names and clothes and toys.
+
+One day, a big boy came to the park. He had a hairy face and a mean look. He saw Lila and Ben's dolls and wanted to take them. He walked over to them and said, "Give me your dolls. They are mine now."
+
+Lila and Ben were scared. They hugged their dolls and said, "No, they are ours. We love them. You can't have them."
+
+The big boy laughed. He said, "I don't care. I make the law here. I can do what I want. Give me your dolls or I will hurt you."
+
+Lila and Ben did not know what to do. They looked at each other and shrugged. They did not know what the law was or why the big boy could make it. They wished someone would help them.
+
+Just then, a lady came to the park. She was a police officer. She saw the big boy and the little kids. She said, "Hey, what are you doing? Leave them alone. You can't take their dolls. That is not the law. That is stealing."
+
+The big boy was surprised. He saw the lady's badge and gun. He was afraid. He said, "Sorry, I was just joking. I don't want their dolls. Here, take them back."
+
+He gave the dolls back to Lila and Ben. He ran away. He did not want to get in trouble.
+
+Lila and Ben were happy. They thanked the lady. They said, "You are very nice. You saved our dolls. You know the law."
+
+The lady smiled. She said, "You are very welcome. I'm glad you are safe. You have very nice dolls. You should take good care of them. And remember, the law is to be kind and fair to everyone."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They said, "We will. Thank you, lady."
+
+They hugged their dolls and went back to playing. They had a lot of fun. They did not see the big boy again.
+One day, Sam and Mia went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish and shells and crabs. They also saw a big dolphin jumping in the waves. The dolphin was incredible. It was gray and shiny and fast and smart.
+
+Sam and Mia wanted to see the dolphin up close. They asked their mom and dad if they could go on a boat. Their mom and dad said yes, but they had to wear life jackets and stay with them. They got on a small boat and sailed to where the dolphin was. The dolphin saw them and came near the boat. It made a funny noise and smiled at them. Sam and Mia smiled back and waved.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The boat hit a rock and made a hole. Water started to come in the boat. Sam and Mia were scared. Their mom and dad told them not to worry. They called for help on a radio. They also put on a big rubber ring and held on to it. They told Sam and Mia to get on the ring with them and wait for help.
+
+The dolphin saw that they were in trouble. It wanted to help them. It swam around the boat and pushed it with its nose. It tried to fix the hole with its tail. It also made loud noises to get the attention of other boats. It was very brave and strong.
+
+Soon, another boat came and saw them. It was a rescue boat. It had a big rope and a hook. It threw the rope to their boat and hooked it. It pulled their boat to safety. Sam and Mia and their mom and dad were happy and relieved. They thanked the rescue boat and the dolphin. The dolphin was happy too. It waved goodbye and swam away. Sam and Mia never forgot the incredible dolphin that helped them fix their boat.
+Mia and Sam went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Mia liked the swans. They were white and pretty. She wanted to feed them some bread.
+
+"Mom, can I give some bread to the swans?" Mia asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, but be careful. They might bite," Mom said.
+
+Mia took a piece of bread and walked to the edge of the pond. She saw a swan that was alone. It looked sad and lonely. Mia threw the bread to the swan. But the swan did not eat it. It ignored Mia. It swam away from her.
+
+"Why are you ignoring me?" Mia said. "Don't you like bread? Don't you want to be my friend?"
+
+The swan did not answer. It did not look at Mia. It went to the other side of the pond, where there were more swans.
+
+Mia felt hurt and angry. She did not understand why the swan did not like her. She threw the rest of the bread into the water. She ran back to her mom and Sam.
+
+"Mom, the swan ignored me. It was mean and rude. I don't like swans anymore," Mia said.
+
+Mom hugged Mia and said, "I'm sorry, Mia. Maybe the swan was shy or scared. Maybe it had a bad day. Maybe it already had enough bread. You can't always make friends with everyone. But you can always try to be kind and respectful."
+
+Mia nodded. She felt a little better. She looked at the pond again. She saw the swan that ignored her. It was still alone. It looked sad and lonely. Mia felt sorry for the swan. She wished it had a friend. She said, "Maybe tomorrow, the swan will be nicer. Maybe tomorrow, we can be friends."
+Sam liked to play with his guitar. He had a light guitar that was red and shiny. He liked to make sounds with it and sing songs. He wanted to be a rock star when he grew up.
+
+One day, he saw his dad's guitar in the living room. It was a big guitar that was brown and dull. It had many strings and buttons. Sam wanted to try it and see how it sounded. He reached for it, but his dad stopped him.
+
+"No, Sam, you can't play with my guitar. It is not for you. It is very old and fragile. You might break it or hurt yourself. You have your own guitar, play with that one," his dad said.
+
+"But dad, I want to play with your guitar. It looks so cool and different. Please, can I try it? Just for a little bit?" Sam begged.
+
+"Sorry, Sam, I can't permit you to play with my guitar. It is very special to me. It was a gift from my dad, your grandpa, when I was your age. It has a lot of memories and stories. Maybe when you are older, I will let you play with it. But for now, you have to respect my guitar and leave it alone," his dad explained.
+
+Sam felt sad and angry. He didn't understand why his dad was so mean and stingy. He thought his dad didn't love him or his guitar. He stomped his feet and ran to his room. He threw his guitar on the bed and cried. He didn't want to play with his guitar anymore. He wanted his dad's guitar. He wanted his dad to love him.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They were very happy.
+
+Then Lily saw a bee. It was yellow and black and had wings. It was flying near a red flower. Lily wanted to see it better. She ran to the flower and stared at the bee. She did not know that bees can sting.
+
+"Look, Tom, a bee!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+Tom saw Lily and the bee. He knew that bees can sting. He was scared for Lily. He ran to her and said, "Lily, be careful! The bee can hurt you! Do not stare at it! Come away!"
+
+But Lily did not listen. She stared at the bee more. She wanted to touch it. She reached out her hand. The bee did not like that. It felt angry. It stung Lily on her finger. Lily cried out loud. It hurt a lot.
+
+Tom hugged Lily and said, "I am sorry, Lily. The bee stung you. It is not nice. Let us go to mom. She will make it better."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Tom. Thank you. You are a good brother. I am sorry I did not listen. I learned my lesson. I will not stare at bees again."
+
+They went to mom. She put some ice on Lily's finger. She kissed it and said, "It will be okay, Lily. You are brave. But next time, do not stare at bees. They do not like it. They need their space. Just look at them from far away. They are pretty, but they are also wild."
+
+Lily and Tom said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will be careful."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I am glad you learned something today. Now, do you want some juice and cookies?"
+
+Lily and Tom said, "Yes, please!"
+
+They drank some juice and ate some cookies. They felt better. They went back to the garden. They played some more. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They were very happy. But they did not stare at bees.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Anna says. "I will hold your hand."
+
+Ben shakes his head. "No, it is too high. I will fall."
+
+Anna smiles. "You will not fall. You are intelligent. You know how to sit and slide. Trust me."
+
+Ben looks at Anna. He sees that she is brave and kind. He decides to try. He holds Anna's hand and they climb the stairs. They sit on the slide and slide down together. They laugh and feel happy.
+
+"See, Ben, that was not so bad!" Anna says. "Do you want to go again?"
+
+Ben nods. "Yes, I do. Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend."
+
+They hold hands and run to the slide again. They have fun in the park. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily are playing with their toy scale. They like to put different things on it and see which one is heavier. Tom has a big car and Lily has a small doll.
+
+"Look, my car is heavier than your doll!" Tom says, as he puts his car on one side of the scale and Lily's doll on the other. The scale tips to Tom's side.
+
+"That's not fair, your car is bigger than my doll!" Lily says, as she takes her doll back. She looks around and sees a shiny penny on the floor. She picks it up and puts it on the scale with her doll.
+
+"Ha, now my doll and my penny are heavier than your car!" Lily says, as she sees the scale tip to her side. She smiles and feels successful.
+
+Tom is surprised and curious. He takes the penny and looks at it closely. He wonders how such a small thing can be so heavy.
+
+"Can I see your penny?" he asks Lily.
+
+"Okay, but only for a little bit. It's mine!" Lily says, as she hands him the penny.
+
+Tom and Lily take turns looking at the penny and weighing it with different things. They have fun and learn something new.

+"Can I hop on the ship?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sam says. He pushes Tom away.
+
+Tom is hurt. He cries. He does not want to play with Sam anymore.
+
+A lady sees them. She is kind and gentle. She comes to them.
+
+"What is wrong, boys?" she asks.
+
+"Sam is mean. He does not share the ship. He makes me hurt." Tom says.
+
+"Sam, is that true?" she asks.
+
+Sam is quiet. He feels bad. He knows he is wrong.
+
+"I am sorry, Tom. I was selfish. You can hop on the ship with me. We can share." Sam says.
+
+Tom smiles. He wipes his tears. He hops on the ship with Sam. They play together.
+
+The lady smiles too. She is happy.
+
+"Good boys. Sharing is caring. Friends are better than toys." she says.

+
+One day, Ben's mom says they have to go to the store. Ben does not want to go. He wants to stay and watch cartoons. He says, "No, no, no!" He cries and kicks his feet.
+
+Ben's mom says, "Ben, you have to go. We need to buy some food and some clothes. You can watch cartoons later. Come on, let's go." She picks up Ben and puts him in the car. Ben is still crying and saying, "No, no, no!"
+
+When they get to the store, Ben's mom puts him in a cart. She pushes the cart around the store. She picks up some apples, some bread, some milk, and some socks. Ben is still crying and saying, "No, no, no!"

+Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and explore the sofa, the table and the rug. They used a cable as a rope to swing from one place to another.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a treasure!" Tom said, holding a shiny glass ball. "It's so pretty and sparkly!"
+
+"Wow, Tom, let me see!" Lily said, reaching for the ball. "Be careful, it looks fragile!"
+
+But Tom did not hear Lily. He swung the cable and threw the ball in the air. He wanted to catch it again. But he missed. The ball fell on the floor and broke into many pieces.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom cried. "What have I done?"
+
+Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. "It's okay, Tom. It was an accident. Don't be sad."
+
+"But it was Mommy's ball. She loves it. She will be angry with me." Tom said, sniffling.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She remembered something. "Tom, do you remember when we made a card for Mommy's birthday? We used paper, glue and glitter. We wrote 'We love you, Mommy' on it. Do you remember?"
+
+Tom nodded. "Yes, I remember. Mommy was so happy. She said it was the best gift ever."
+
+Lily smiled. "Maybe we can make another card for Mommy. We can say 'We are sorry, Mommy' and 'We love you, Mommy'. Maybe she will forgive us."
+
+Tom wiped his tears. He liked Lily's idea. "Okay, Lily. Let's do that. Let's make a card for Mommy."
+
+They got up and went to their room. They found some paper, glue and glitter. They worked hard to make a beautiful card. They hoped Mommy would like it. They hoped Mommy would not be angry. They hoped Mommy would still love them.
+Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play and have fun. But sometimes they do not behave. They make a mess and do not listen to Mom and Dad.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad have to go out. They ask Grandma to watch Tom and Sue. Grandma is nice and kind. She makes them beef for lunch. Beef is meat from a cow. Tom and Sue like beef.
+
+But when they sit at the table, they do not like the beef. It is bitter. Bitter means it tastes bad. Tom and Sue make faces and spit out the beef. They say, "Yuck! We do not want bitter beef!"
+
+Grandma is sad and angry. She says, "Tom and Sue, you are not behaving. You should eat your beef. It is good for you. It has vitamins and iron. And you should not waste food. Some children have no food at all."
+
+Tom and Sue feel sorry. They do not want to make Grandma sad and angry. They say, "We are sorry, Grandma. We will try to eat the beef. And we will behave. We love you, Grandma."
+
+Grandma smiles and hugs them. She says, "I love you, too, Tom and Sue. You are good children. But next time, I will make you something else for lunch. Maybe chicken or fish. Or maybe some cookies for dessert."

+But the baby did not come. Mom and Dad did not come back. Grandma got a phone call. She looked sad and scared. She told Tom and Lily that something bad happened. The baby was sick and could not live. Mom was sick too and could not deliver the baby. She had to stay in the hospital. Dad was with her.

+
+Tom and Lily did not understand. They cried and cried. They wanted to see the baby and hug it and kiss it. They wanted to see Mom and Dad and hug them and kiss them. They did not want to say goodbye. They did not want the baby to die. They did not want Mom to be sick. They were sad and scared.
+

+Sara and Ben liked to play with their blocks. They liked to make towers and bridges and castles. One day, they found a new block in their toy box. It was black and had a star on it.
+
+"What is this?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is magic," Ben said.
+
+They decided to add the black block to their tower. They put it on the top and waited to see what would happen. Nothing happened.
+
+"Maybe we need to say a magic word," Sara said.
+
+"Like what?" Ben asked.
+
+"Like...abracadabra!" Sara said.
+
+She said the word and waved her hand. Suddenly, the tower started to glow and shake. The blocks flew apart and landed all over the room. Sara and Ben gasped and ducked.
+
+Then, they heard a voice.
+
+"Hello, children. I'm a witch."
+
+They looked up and saw a woman standing in front of them. She had a black hat, a black dress, and a black cat. She smiled and held out her hand.
+
+"Don't be afraid. I'm a nice witch. I was trapped in that block for a long time. You freed me with your magic word. Thank you."
+
+Sara and Ben were scared, but also curious. They took her hand and stood up.
+
+"Who are you?" Sara asked.
+
+"My name is Luna. I'm a good witch who likes to help people. But a bad witch cursed me and turned me into a block. She hid me in your toy box, hoping no one would find me. But you did. You are very brave and clever."
+
+"Wow," Ben said. "That's amazing. Can you do more magic?"
+
+"Of course. I can do many things. I can make things appear and disappear. I can change shapes and colors. I can fly and talk to animals. Do you want to see?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Sara and Ben said.
+
+Luna smiled and snapped her fingers. She made a rainbow appear in the air. She made a cake appear on the table. She made a balloon appear in Sara's hand. She made a puppy appear in Ben's arms. She made herself and the children fly around the room. She made the cat talk to them.
+
+Sara and Ben laughed and clapped. They had never seen such wonderful things. They liked Luna. She was a nice witch. They wanted to be her friends.
+
+They played with Luna until it was time for dinner. Then, Luna said goodbye and thanked them again. She gave them each a hug and a kiss. She told them to keep the black block as a gift. She said she would come back and visit them soon.
+
+She waved her hand and disappeared with her cat. Sara and Ben ran to the window and saw her flying away on a broomstick. They waved back and smiled.
+
+They were happy. They had a new friend. A nice witch.
+Tommy and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat chicken for dinner. Mommy said she would make chicken, but they had to wait. She said chicken takes a long time to cook.
+
+"Please, Mommy, can we have chicken now?" Tommy asked.
+
+"Not yet, Tommy. You have to be patient. Chicken is not ready yet. Why don't you play with Lily for a while?" Mommy said.
+
+Tommy and Lily went to their room. They played with their toys. They had a lot of fun. But they still wanted chicken.
+
+"Please, Lily, can we go see if chicken is ready?" Tommy asked.
+
+"Okay, Tommy. But we have to be quiet. Mommy said not to bother her when she is cooking." Lily said.
+
+They tiptoed to the kitchen. They smelled something good. They saw Mommy taking a big pan out of the oven. It had chicken and potatoes and carrots. It looked yummy.
+
+"Mommy, Mommy, is chicken ready?" Tommy and Lily shouted.
+
+Mommy smiled. She said, "Yes, chicken is ready. You are good children. You were patient. Now you can have chicken for dinner. Come and sit at the table."
+
+Tommy and Lily ran to the table. They thanked Mommy for the chicken. They ate and ate. They were happy. They loved chicken. And they loved Mommy.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They wanted to give him a smile, but they could not find anything to use.
+
+"Let's think," Lila said. "What can we use for a smile?"
+
+Tom looked around. He saw a stick on the ground. He picked it up and ran to the snowman.
+
+"Look, Lila, I found a spear!" he said. "We can use it for a smile."
+
+He stuck the stick in the snowman's face. It made a long, straight line.
+
+"That's not a smile, Tom," Lila said. "That's a frown. The snowman looks sad."
+
+Tom looked at the snowman. He did look sad. He did not want to make the snowman sad.
+
+"Sorry, snowman," he said. "I will find something else."
+
+He pulled the stick out of the snowman's face. He looked around again. He saw a white flower in the snow. He picked it up and ran back to the snowman.
+
+"Look, Lila, I found a flower!" he said. "We can use it for a smile."
+
+He stuck the flower in the snowman's face. It made a curve, like a smile.
+
+"That's a smile, Tom," Lila said. "That's a nice smile. The snowman looks happy."
+
+Tom looked at the snowman. He did look happy. He was glad to make the snowman happy.
+
+"Yay, snowman!" he said. "You are our friend."
+
+Lila and Tom hugged the snowman. They did not see the stick fall from the snowman's hand. They did not see the big dog run to the snowman. They did not see the dog grab the carrot nose and run away. They did not hear the snowman cry.
+Anna and Ben went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things on the beach, like shells, rocks, and birds.
+
+One day, they saw a man with a big basket. He was selling crabs. Anna and Ben wanted to see the crabs. They ran to the man and asked, "Can we look at the crabs?"
+
+The man smiled and said, "Sure, you can look. But be careful, they can pinch you with their claws." He opened the basket and showed them the crabs. They were red and brown and had many legs and eyes. Anna and Ben thought they were funny and scary at the same time.
+
+"Can we buy a crab?" Anna asked. "We want to take it home and play with it."
+
+The man shook his head and said, "No, you can't buy a crab. These crabs are for eating, not for playing. They are smelly and hard to keep. You need a big tank and salt water and food for them. They are not good pets."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sad. They liked the crabs and wanted to have one. But they understood that the man was right. They said, "Thank you for showing us the crabs. They are very interesting."
+
+The man said, "You're welcome. You are very polite and curious. Maybe you can find something else on the beach to play with. Have a nice day." He closed the basket and walked away.
+
+Anna and Ben waved goodbye to the man and the crabs. They went back to Mom and Dad and told them what they saw. Mom and Dad hugged them and said, "We're proud of you for being respectful and curious. You learned something new today. Maybe we can buy you a toy crab instead. Would you like that?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and smiled. They liked the idea of a toy crab. They said, "Yes, please. We love crabs. But only the toy ones."

+
+"Let's go home!" Sue says. "We need to be safe!"
+
+But Tom does not want to leave. He likes his kite. He wants to fly it in the wind.
+
+"No, I want to play!" Tom says. "The kite is fun!"
+
+Sue is sad. She does not want to play. She wants to go home. She thinks Tom is not a dependable friend.
+
+"Please, Tom, come with me!" Sue says. "The night is coming. It will be dark and cold. We need to be with our moms and dads!"
+
+Tom looks at the sky. He sees a flash of light. It is lightning. He is scared too.
+
+"Okay, okay, let's go home!" Tom says. "The kite is not fun. It is dangerous!"
+
+Tom and Sue run to their bikes. They put the ball and the kite in their baskets. They ride fast to their homes.
+

+Lily liked to play with her violin. She had a small violin that her mom gave her for her birthday. She liked to make sounds with it and pretend she was a music star.
+
+One day, she took her violin to the park with her dad. She wanted to show her friends her violin and play with them. But when she got to the park, she saw that it was very muddy. There had been a lot of rain the night before.
+
+Lily did not care. She ran to the swings with her violin and put it on the ground. She swung high and fast and had fun. But she forgot about her violin. It got dirty and wet in the mud.
+
+When Lily was done swinging, she remembered her violin. She ran to get it, but it was filthy. It was covered in mud and grass and leaves. It did not look like her violin anymore. It looked like a mess.
+
+Lily was sad. She cried and hugged her violin. She did not want to play with it anymore. She wanted a new violin.
+
+Her dad came to her and saw her violin. He was not happy. He said, "Lily, why did you leave your violin in the mud? You should take care of your things. This violin was a gift from your mom. She loves you and wants you to enjoy music. Now your violin is ruined. It will not make sounds anymore."
+
+Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I forgot about my violin. I wanted to play with my friends. I did not mean to make it filthy. Can we fix it?"
+
+Her dad shook his head. He said, "I don't think we can fix it, Lily. It is too damaged. Maybe we can buy you a new violin, but you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will take care of your new violin. You have to keep it clean and dry and safe. You have to play with it gently and respectfully. You have to listen to your mom and learn how to play it well. Do you promise me that, Lily?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I promise, dad. I will take care of my new violin. I will be a good music star. Thank you, dad."
+
+Her dad smiled. He said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you. And I recommend that you leave your violin at home when you go to the park. It is not a good place for it. It is a good place for you to run and play and have fun. But your violin is for you to make music and have fun at home. Do you understand, Lily?"
+
+Lily understood. She said, "I understand, dad. I will leave my violin at home when I go to the park. I will make music and have fun at home. Thank you, dad."
+
+Her dad hugged her. He said, "You're welcome, Lily. Let's go home and clean your violin. Maybe we can still save it. And maybe we can find you a new violin too. Come on, Lily. Let's go."
+
+Lily and her dad went home. They cleaned her violin and looked for a new one. Lily learned her lesson. She never left her violin in the mud again. She took care of her violin and played with it every day. She became a good music star. And she was happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cage with many birds. The birds have colorful feathers. They are red, blue, yellow, and green. Lily and Ben want to see the birds closer.
+
+They go near the cage and say hello to the birds. The birds say hello back. They make loud noises. Lily and Ben laugh. They listen to the birds. The birds tell them stories. They tell them about the sky, the trees, and the wind. Lily and Ben wish they could fly with the birds.
+
+But the cage is locked. The birds cannot get out. They are sad. They want to escape. They ask Lily and Ben to help them. Lily and Ben look around. They see a key on a bench. The key belongs to the man who owns the cage. He is not here. He went to buy ice cream.
+
+Lily and Ben have an idea. They run to the bench and grab the key. They run back to the cage and unlock it. The birds are happy. They thank Lily and Ben. They fly out of the cage. They fly in the sky. They sing and dance. They invite Lily and Ben to join them.
+
+Lily and Ben hold hands. They close their eyes. They pretend they have wings. They feel the wind on their faces. They smile. They fly with the birds. They have fun. They escape with the birds.
+Lila and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to build a big wall with many colors. They work hard and stack the blocks high and wide. They are happy with their wall.
+
+But then, a loud noise makes them jump. It is their dog, Rex, who runs into the room. He sees the wall and thinks it is a toy. He barks and jumps at the wall, trying to knock it down.
+
+"Stop, Rex, stop!" Lila and Ben shout. "This is our wall, not your toy!"
+
+But Rex does not listen. He pushes the wall with his nose and paws. The blocks start to fall. The wall is heavy and can hurt Rex.
+
+Lila and Ben run to the wall. They try to save it and Rex. They grab the blocks and move them away from Rex. They hug Rex and tell him to be calm.
+
+"Bad dog, Rex, bad dog!" Lila and Ben scold him. "You almost broke our wall and hurt yourself!"
+
+Rex looks at them with sad eyes. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He is sorry for what he did.
+
+Lila and Ben forgive him. They love Rex, even when he is naughty. They decide to build a new wall, but this time, they leave some space for Rex to play. They also give him a bone to chew, so he does not bother their wall.
+
+They all play together and have fun. They are happy with their wall and their dog.
+Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Max had a car. They liked their toys, but they also liked to try new things.
+
+"Can I play with your doll?" Max asked Lily.
+
+"OK, but only if I can play with your car," Lily said.
+
+They agreed to change their toys and see how they liked them. Max took the doll and pretended to feed her and dress her. Lily took the car and zoomed it around the floor and made loud noises.
+
+They had fun for a while, but then they started to miss their own toys.
+
+"I want my car back," Lily said.
+
+"I want my doll back," Max said.
+
+They changed their toys again and hugged them. They were happy to have their own toys, but they also learned something new.

+Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily and Sam liked to feed the ducks with bread. Mom gave them some bread and they threw it into the water. The ducks came closer and quacked. Lily and Sam laughed and waved at the ducks.
+
+"Hello, ducks!" Lily said. "Do you like bread?"
+
+"Quack, quack!" the ducks said. They ate the bread and swam away.
+
+Sam saw a bench near the pond. He ran to the bench and climbed on it. He pretended it was a boat and he was a captain.
+
+"Ahoy, matey!" he shouted. "I'm sailing the seas!"
+
+Lily followed him and climbed on the bench too. She pretended it was a castle and she was a princess.
+
+"Hello, captain!" she said. "Welcome to my castle!"
+
+They played on the bench for a while, making up stories and having fun. Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy to see them happy.
+
+After a while, Lily and Sam felt sleepy. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. They got down from the bench and walked to Mom.
+
+"Mom, can we go home?" Lily asked. "We're sleepy."
+
+"Of course, sweetie," Mom said. "You had a busy day. Let's go home and have a nap."
+
+She took their hands and led them to the car. Lily and Sam waved goodbye to the park and the ducks. They got into the car and buckled their seatbelts. Mom drove them home and tucked them into bed. They fell asleep quickly, dreaming of the park and the bench and the ducks.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to go to the store with Mom. The store has many things to see and touch. Ben likes the cars and trucks. Lily likes the dolls and books.
+
+One day, they go to a new store. It is bigger and brighter than the old store. Mom says they can look around while she buys some food. Ben and Lily are happy. They run to the toy section.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben says. He sees a big red fire truck. It has lights and sounds. He pushes a button and the truck makes a loud siren. "Wee-woo, wee-woo!"
+
+"That's cool!" Lily says. She sees a pretty pink doll. It has long hair and a dress. She picks it up and hugs it. "She's so soft and cute!"
+
+They play with the toys for a while. They are having fun. Then they hear a voice.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Welcome to our store. Do you like the toys?" The voice belongs to a lady. She works at the store. She has a name tag and a smile.
+
+"Yes, we do!" Ben and Lily say. They show her the fire truck and the doll.
+
+"They are very nice toys. Do you want to buy them?" The lady asks.
+
+Ben and Lily look at each other. They want the toys, but they don't have any money. They look at Mom. She is still at the food section. They don't know what to say.
+
+The lady sees their faces. She understands. She says, "Don't worry. You can play with the toys here. It's easy. Just put them back when you are done. And maybe you can ask Mom for a treat later."
+
+Ben and Lily smile. They say, "Thank you, lady. You are very kind."
+
+They play with the toys some more. They are happy. They like the new store. They like the lady. They think she is the best.
+Lily liked to sing to the flowers in the garden. She thought they were pretty and happy. She sang songs about the sun, the rain and the bees. She made up the words as she sang.
+
+One day, she saw a new flower in the garden. It was big and red and had many teeth. It looked scary. Lily was curious and went closer to the flower. She wanted to sing to it too.
+
+"Hello, flower," she said. "Do you like songs?"
+
+The flower opened its mouth and said, "Yes, I do. But I like to eat more. And you look tasty."
+
+Lily was scared. She ran away from the flower. She ran to her mom, who was in the kitchen. She told her mom what happened.
+
+"Mom, there is a scary flower in the garden. It has teeth and it wants to eat me," she said.
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. That is not a real flower. That is a toy flower. Your dad put it there as a joke. He wanted to surprise you. He did not mean to scare you."
+
+Lily felt better. She said, "Can we take the toy flower away? I don't like it. I like the real flowers better. They are nice and they listen to my songs."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, we can. Let's go and tell your dad to take it away. And then you can sing to the real flowers again."
+
+Lily and her mom went to the garden. They found her dad and told him about the toy flower. He said he was sorry and he took it away. He gave Lily a hug and a kiss. He said, "I love you, Lily. And I love your songs. You have a beautiful voice."
+
+Lily was happy. She said, "I love you too, dad. And I love the flowers. They are beautiful too."
+
+She sang a song to her dad, her mom and the flowers. They all listened and smiled.
+Tommy loved to watch the mechanic work on the cars. He liked the big tools and the loud noises. He wanted to help the mechanic, but he was too small.
+
+One day, the mechanic gave Tommy a spray bottle. He said, "You can spray water on the cars to make them shiny. But be careful, don't spray the engine or the wires. They don't like water."
+
+Tommy was very happy. He took the spray bottle and went to the cars. He sprayed water on the doors, the windows, the wheels, and the lights. He made the cars shiny and wet.
+
+But then, he saw a red car with a hood that was open. He was curious. He wanted to see what was inside. He walked to the red car and looked at the engine. He saw many wires and tubes and metal parts. He thought they looked dirty. He decided to spray water on them to make them clean.
+
+He pressed the spray bottle and water came out. He sprayed water on the engine and the wires. He heard a hiss and a spark. He smelled something bad. He saw smoke and fire.
+
+The mechanic saw what Tommy did. He was very alert. He ran to the red car and grabbed a fire extinguisher. He sprayed foam on the fire and put it out. He was angry and scared.
+
+He shouted at Tommy, "What did you do? You sprayed water on the engine! You could have burned the car and yourself! You were very naughty and dangerous!"
+
+Tommy was very sorry. He dropped the spray bottle and started to cry. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know. I wanted to help you. I wanted to make the car clean."
+
+The mechanic sighed. He was still angry, but he felt sorry for Tommy too. He said, "I know you wanted to help, but you have to listen to me. You can't spray water on the engine or the wires. They are very sensitive and can catch fire. You have to be careful and follow the rules."
+
+He hugged Tommy and wiped his tears. He said, "It's okay, don't cry. The fire is out and the car is not too damaged. I can fix it. But you have to promise me, never spray water on the engine or the wires again. Do you understand?"
+
+Tommy nodded. He said, "I understand. I promise. I'm sorry."
+
+The mechanic smiled. He said, "Good. Now, let's go and have some ice cream. You can still help me with the cars, but only with the spray bottle and the shiny parts. Deal?"
+
+Tommy smiled too. He said, "Deal." He took the mechanic's hand and they walked to the ice cream shop. He learned his lesson and never sprayed water on the engine or the wires again. He became a good helper and a good friend to the mechanic.
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with their toys. They had a big motorcycle that they could ride together. It was red and shiny and made a loud noise.
+
+One day, they had a fight over who could ride the motorcycle first. Tim said, "It is mine, I got it for my birthday!" Sam said, "No, it is ours, we always share!" They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other.
+
+The motorcycle was not strong enough for their fight. It split in two pieces. Tim and Sam were very sad. They had broken their favorite toy. They looked at each other and felt sorry.
+
+They said, "We are sorry, we were mean. We should not fight over toys. We should be kind and take turns." They hugged and made up. They decided to fix the motorcycle together. They used some tape and glue and put the pieces back. It was not as shiny as before, but it still worked.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that fighting is bad and sharing is good. They learned that toys are fun, but friends are more important. They learned that when they work together, they can fix their problems. They were happy again.
+Tom was a little boy who liked to wander. He did not like to stay in his room or play with his toys. He wanted to see new things and have fun. But his mom and dad were busy and did not have time to go with him. They told him to stay inside and be good.
+
+One day, Tom saw a big truck outside his house. It was shiny and loud and had many colors. Tom wanted to see it up close. He did not listen to his mom and dad. He opened the door and ran outside. He did not look for cars or people. He only looked at the truck.
+
+The truck driver did not see Tom. He was in a hurry and had to go. He started the truck and drove away. He did not hear Tom's scream or feel the bump. He did not know he had hit Tom and hurt him very bad.
+
+Tom lay on the ground and cried. He was in pain and scared. He wanted his mom and dad. He wanted his toys. He wanted to go back inside. He put his thumb in his mouth and tried to feel better. But he did not feel better. He felt lonely and sad.
+
+No one came to help Tom. No one heard his cry. No one saw his blood. He was alone and dying. He wished he had not wandered. He wished he had listened. He wished he had stayed inside and been good. But it was too late. Tom closed his eyes and did not wake up.

+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they find a big map in their dad's office. The map has many colors and shapes. They think it is a map of the land.
+
+"Look, Ben, this is where we live," Mia says, pointing to a red shape. "And this is where grandma lives," she says, pointing to a blue shape.
+
+"Wow, this map is so cool," Ben says. "I wonder what is in the other shapes. Maybe there are animals or treasures or castles."
+
+They decide to pretend they are explorers. They take their backpacks and hats and a magnifying glass. They start to walk around the map, looking at the different shapes.
+
+"Here is a green shape. It looks like a forest," Mia says. "Maybe there are monkeys or birds or snakes."
+
+"Here is a yellow shape. It looks like a desert," Ben says. "Maybe there are camels or cacti or sand."

+
+"Look, Mia, there is something sparkling. Maybe it is a jewel or a star or a crown," Ben says.
+
+"Let's go and see," Mia says. "Maybe it belongs to a king or a queen or a fairy."
+
+They climb the mountain, using the map as a ladder. They reach the top and see a big pile of coins and gems and pearls. They think it is the most beautiful thing they have ever seen. They think they are very wealthy.
+
+"Wow, Ben, we found a treasure," Mia says. "We are so lucky and brave and smart."
+
+"Yes, Mia, we are," Ben says. "But we have to share it with our family and friends and the people who need it."

+
+Sara thought for a moment and said, "Let's play dress up. I have some hats and scarves and gloves in my house. Come, come, come!"
+
+She ran to the house and got her dress up clothes. She put them on the blanket. She gave a hat to the ant, a scarf to the bee and a glove to the ladybug. They tried to wear them, but they were too big and tight. They looked funny and silly. They laughed and laughed.

+They run to the box and open the door. Inside, they see many buttons and lights and screens. It looks like a modern toy.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Tom says. He presses a button and the box makes a noise.
+
+"Beep, beep, beep. Welcome to the time machine. Please choose your destination," a voice says.
+
+Lily and Tom are surprised. They look at the screen and see many pictures of different times and places. They see dinosaurs, castles, pyramids, rockets, and more.
+
+"Where do you want to go?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. They all look cool," Lily says.
+
+"Let's go to the dinosaurs. I like dinosaurs," Tom says. He presses another button and the screen shows a picture of a green forest with big animals.
+
+"Are you sure?" Lily asks. She is a little scared.
+
+"Yes, come on. It will be fun," Tom says. He pulls Lily inside the box and shuts the door.
+
+The box shakes and makes more noises. The voice says, "Ready to travel. Hold on tight."
+
+Lily and Tom hold each other and wait. They wonder what will happen next. They hope they will be safe and have fun. They also hope they can come back to their town and their park.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a spray bottle and a hose. They liked to spray water on the flowers and the grass. Sometimes they sprayed water on each other and laughed.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make a rainbow!" Tom said. He held the hose up to the sun and sprayed water in the air. Lily saw the colors and clapped her hands.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that's pretty!" Lily said. She wanted to try too. She took the spray bottle and ran to the hose. She turned on the tap and filled the bottle with water.
+
+But she did not see the large dog that was sleeping under the tree. The dog heard the water and woke up. He saw Lily with the spray bottle and thought she was going to spray him. He did not like water. He barked and ran towards Lily.
+
+Lily was scared. She dropped the spray bottle and screamed. Tom heard her and looked. He saw the large dog and grabbed the hose. He aimed it at the dog and sprayed water with all his speed.
+
+"Go away, dog! Leave Lily alone!" Tom shouted. The water hit the dog and made him wet. The dog was surprised and angry. He turned around and ran away.
+
+Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. "Thank you, Tom, you saved me!" Lily said. Tom hugged her back. "You're welcome, Lily, you're my friend!" Tom said.
+
+They picked up the spray bottle and the hose and went back to playing. They sprayed water on the flowers and the grass and each other. They made more rainbows and smiled. They had fun.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, they went to a big event with their moms. There were many people and things to see.
+
+"Look, Ben, a cute bunny!" Lily said, pointing to a cage. "Can we pet it?"
+
+"OK, let's go," Ben said, following Lily. They ran to the cage and reached out their hands. The bunny was soft and fluffy.
+
+"Hello, bunny, you are so cute," Lily said, stroking its ears. "Do you want a carrot?"
+
+The bunny sniffed the carrot and nibbled it. Lily smiled. Ben wanted to pet the bunny too. He moved closer to the cage.
+
+Suddenly, the bunny bit Ben's finger. Ben screamed and pulled back his hand. It was bleeding. The bunny hopped away.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "The bunny hurt me!"
+
+Lily was scared. She dropped the carrot and ran to her mom. Ben's mom came to help him. She wrapped his finger with a bandage.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, the bunny was mean," Lily said, looking at him with sad eyes.
+
+Ben sighed. He was angry and sad. He did not want to play with Lily or the bunny anymore.
+
+The end.
+Sara likes to play with dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is a princess doll. She dresses her in a pink dress and a shiny crown. She pretends that the princess lives in a big castle with a prince.

+
+She asks her mom, "Mom, can I have the prince doll, please?"
+
+Her mom looks at the price tag. It says ten dollars. Her mom says, "Sorry, Sara, but the prince doll is too cheap. He is not well made. He might break easily. You have enough dolls at home. Let's go."
+
+Sara feels sad. She really likes the prince doll. She thinks he would be a good friend for her princess. She does not understand why cheap is bad. She thinks cheap means good.
+
+She says, "But mom, I want the prince doll. He is cheap. That means he is good. He is not bad. He is nice. Please, mom, please."
+
+Her mom shakes her head. She says, "No, Sara, cheap does not mean good. It means the opposite. It means the doll is not worth much. It is not well made. It might break easily. You don't want a doll that breaks, do you?"
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She does not want a doll that breaks. She wants a doll that lasts. She wants a doll that can play with her princess. She says, "Oh, I see. Cheap means bad. I don't want a bad doll. I want a good doll. Can we look for a good prince doll, mom?"
+
+Her mom smiles. She says, "Sure, Sara, we can look for a good prince doll. But first, we have to pay for the things we already have. Come on, let's go to the cashier."
+
+Sara follows her mom. She holds her princess doll in her arms. She hopes to find a good prince doll soon. She thinks that a good prince doll and a good princess doll would be very happy together.

+
+They came to a big tank with a glass wall. Lily saw the sharks swimming inside. They were big and gray and had sharp teeth. Lily was not scared. She was happy.
+
+She ran to the glass and kneeled down. She tapped on the glass and said, "Hello, sharks. I am Lily. I am your friend."
+
+The sharks did not answer. They just swam by. Lily felt sad. She wanted the sharks to talk to her.
+
+She looked at her mom and said, "Mom, why don't the sharks talk to me?"
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Lily, sharks are very independent. They don't talk to anyone. They like to be alone. But they can hear you and see you. They know you are a kind and brave girl. And they like you too."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her mom back. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love the sharks too."
+
+She waved at the sharks and said, "Bye, sharks. See you soon."
+
+The sharks swam by and winked at her. Lily felt happy. She had a new friend.
+Tom was a polite boy who liked to help his mom. One day, he saw a bee on a flower and wanted to say hello. He went close to the bee and smiled. But the bee did not like Tom and stung him on his nose. Tom cried and ran to his mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, a bee hurt me!" Tom said, holding his nose.
+

+
+Tom liked honey. He ate a spoonful and felt a little better. He thanked his mom and went to his room. He hoped his nose would heal fast.
+
+But the next day, Tom's nose was not better. It was worse. It was red and swollen and itchy. Tom scratched it and it hurt more. He felt hot and sick. He called his mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, my nose is bad!" Tom said, feeling scared.
+
+His mom came and looked at his nose. She gasped and said, "Oh, no, Tom, you have an infection. You are allergic to bee stings. We have to go to the hospital right now."
+
+Tom did not like the hospital. He did not like the doctors and the needles and the medicine. He wished he never said hello to the bee. He wished he was polite to the bee and left it alone. He learned a hard lesson. The end.
+Lily and Ben like to play in the pond. They look for frogs and fish and bugs. They have fun and laugh a lot.
+
+One day, they see a big frog on a rock. It is green and brown and has big eyes. Lily wants to catch it and show it to Ben. She is very quiet and moves slowly. She reaches out her hand to grab the frog.
+
+But the frog is not happy. It does not want to be caught. It jumps off the rock and lands on Lily's head. It makes a loud sound: "Ribbit! Ribbit!"
+
+Lily is scared and surprised. She yells, "Aaaah! Get it off me! Get it off me!" She shakes her head and runs away.
+
+Ben hears Lily yell. He sees the frog on her head. He thinks it is funny. He laughs and says, "Don't worry, Lily. It is just a frog. It will not hurt you. It is more scared of you than you are of it."
+
+Lily stops running and looks at Ben. She sees him laugh. She feels silly. She laughs too. She says, "You are right, Ben. It is just a frog. But it is a loud frog. And it is a wet frog. And it is a tickly frog."
+
+The frog jumps off Lily's head and hops back to the pond. It says, "Ribbit! Ribbit!" one more time. Lily and Ben wave goodbye to the frog. They go back to playing in the pond. They are still friends.
+Lily and Tom like to play with trains. They have a big track in their room. They can make the trains go fast or slow. They can make them stop and go.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She says, "Time to clean up, kids. We have to go soon."
+
+Lily and Tom do not want to stop playing. They say, "No, mom. We want to play more."
+
+Mom says, "Sorry, kids. We have to go to the park. You can play with your trains later. But first, you have to put them away. And close the box."
+
+Lily and Tom sigh. They like the park, but they like their trains more. They start to pick up their trains. They put them in the box. They close the box.

+Ben drove the jeep on a dirt road. He pointed to different animals and told them their names and facts. Sam and Lily saw zebras and monkeys and crocodiles. They saw a rhino and a hippo and a flamingo. They saw a cheetah and a leopard and a hyena. They saw many animals.
+
+They came to a deep part of the park. Ben stopped the jeep and whispered.
+
+"Look over there. Do you see them? They are lions. They are the kings of the safari. They are very strong and brave. But they are also very sleepy. They like to nap in the sun. Let's be quiet and watch them."
+
+Sam and Lily looked over there. They saw a big lion and a big lioness. They saw three little lions. They were cute and fuzzy. They were playing and cuddling. Sam and Lily smiled. They liked the lions.
+
+They watched the lions for a while. Then Ben started the jeep again.
+
+"Let's go and see some more animals. Maybe we will see some elephants and giraffes. They are very tall and friendly. They like to eat leaves and fruits. They are very smart and gentle. Do you want to see them?"

+Lily and Tom were playing in the woods. They liked to pretend they were brave explorers. They found a big hut made of logs. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go in," Tom said. "Maybe there is treasure."
+
+"OK, but be careful," Lily said. "It might be someone's home."
+
+They pushed the door. It was not locked. They went in. The hut was dark and dusty. There were many things on the shelves. They saw a big axe, a shiny pot, a red scarf, and a wooden horse.
+
+"Wow, look at all this stuff," Tom said. He picked up the axe. "This is cool. I can chop anything with this."
+
+"Put it down, Tom," Lily said. "That is not ours. We should not touch it."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He swung the axe around. He hit the pot. It made a loud noise. He hit the scarf. It ripped. He hit the horse. It broke.
+
+"Stop it, Tom," Lily said. "You are breaking everything. We have to go."
+
+But it was too late. They heard footsteps outside. Someone was coming. They were scared.
+
+"Who is there?" a voice said. "Who is in my hut?"
+
+It was an old man. He had a long beard and a hat. He looked angry. He saw the broken things. He saw the children. He was very angry.
+
+"What are you doing here?" he shouted. "Why did you break my things? You are bad children. You are thieves."
+
+Lily and Tom were sorry. They did not mean to break his things. They did not want to steal anything. They wanted to tell him the truth.
+
+"Please, sir, we are sorry," Lily said. "We were just playing. We did not know this was your hut. We did not mean to break your things. Please forgive us."
+
+The old man looked at Lily. He saw that she was honest. He saw that she was scared. He felt a little sorry for her.
+
+"And you?" he asked Tom. "Are you sorry too?"
+
+Tom nodded. He was sorry too. He was honest too. He put down the axe.
+
+"Yes, sir, I am sorry too," Tom said. "I was silly. I should not have touched your axe. I should have listened to Lily. Please forgive me."
+
+The old man looked at Tom. He saw that he was honest too. He saw that he was scared too. He felt a little sorry for him too.
+
+He sighed. He was not so angry anymore. He remembered that he was once a child too. He liked to play and explore too.
+
+"OK, OK," he said. "I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will never come here again. You have to promise me that you will never touch my things again. You have to promise me that you will be good children. Do you promise?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They promised. They were glad that he forgave them. They wanted to be good children.
+
+"Good," he said. "Now go. Go back to your home. And be careful in the woods. There are many dangers here. Go."
+
+Lily and Tom thanked him. They ran out of the hut. They ran back to their home. They learned their lesson. They never went to the hut again. They never touched the axe again. They were good children. They were honest children.
+Sara likes to make jewelry with beads. She has many beads of different colors and shapes. She puts them on strings and makes necklaces and bracelets. She gives them to her friends and family as gifts.
+
+One day, Sara finds a new box of beads in her room. They are very bright and shiny. They look like stars and rainbows. Sara is very happy. She wants to make the best jewelry ever with these beads.
+
+She starts to work on a necklace. She picks the brightest beads and puts them on a string. She tries to make a pattern, but it is hard. She does not know how to make the beads look nice together. She gets frustrated and sad.
+
+Her mom sees her and comes to help. She says, "Sara, you are doing a great job. You have very beautiful beads. But sometimes, less is more. You don't need to use all the beads at once. You can pick a few colors and shapes that match and make a simple design. That will make your jewelry look more elegant and pretty."
+
+Sara listens to her mom and tries again. She chooses some blue and silver beads that look like the sky and the moon. She puts them on a string in a simple pattern. She looks at her necklace and smiles. It is much better than before. She says, "Thank you, mom. You helped me improve my jewelry. It is very bright and lovely. I want to make more."

+
+One day, a big dog came to the park. It saw the football and ran to it. It grabbed the football with its teeth and ran away. Tom and Sam were troubled. They wanted their football back.
+
+"Hey, dog, give us our football!" Tom shouted.
+
+"Ruff, ruff!" the dog barked. It did not want to give the football. It liked to eat it.
+
+Sam had an idea. He saw a bone on the ground. He picked it up and threw it far away. The dog saw the bone and dropped the football. It ran to the bone and ate it.
+
+Tom and Sam ran to the football and picked it up. They were happy. They hugged each other and thanked Sam for his idea.
+
+"Let's go play football again!" Sam said.
+
+"OK, but watch out for dogs!" Tom said.

+They laughed and played football until it was time to go home.
+Sara and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the colorful blocks. They had many blocks, but Sara wanted more.
+
+"Ben, can I have some of your blocks?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, these are mine. You have enough," Ben said.
+
+"But I want to make a big castle. Please, Ben, share with me," Sara begged.
+
+"No, Sara, go away. Find your own blocks," Ben said.
+
+Sara was sad and angry. She thought Ben was mean and selfish. She looked around and saw a cookie jar on the table. She had an idea.
+
+"Ben, I have something for you. Do you want a yummy cookie?" Sara said.
+
+Ben loved cookies. He looked at Sara and saw her holding a cookie in her hand. He smiled and licked his lips.
+
+"Yes, I want a cookie. Give it to me, Sara," Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben, but you have to pay me. Give me some of your blocks and I will give you the cookie," Sara said.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He wanted the cookie, but he also wanted his blocks. He decided to give Sara some of his blocks, but not too many.
+
+"OK, Sara, here are some blocks. Now give me the cookie," Ben said.
+
+Sara took the blocks and gave Ben the cookie. She was happy. She had more blocks to build her castle. Ben took a bite of the cookie and chewed. He was happy. He had a yummy cookie.
+
+But then he realized something. The cookie was not yummy. It was old and stale and bitter. He spit it out and made a face.
+
+"Yuck! This cookie is bad. It tastes awful. Sara, you tricked me. Give me back my blocks," Ben said.
+
+Sara laughed and ran away with the blocks. She had tricked Ben. She had taken the cookie from the trash. She was not nice.
+
+"Ha ha, Ben, you are silly. You should have shared with me. Now you have no cookie and no blocks. Bye bye, Ben," Sara said.
+
+Ben was sad and angry. He thought Sara was mean and sneaky. He cried and shouted.
+
+"Sara, you are bad. You are not my friend. Give me back my blocks. I want my blocks," Ben said.
+
+But Sara did not listen. She kept playing with the blocks. She did not care about Ben. She was not a good sister.
+Ben and Mia were twins who lived in a big house with their wealthy parents. They had many toys and games, but they also liked to play outside in the garden. One day, they decided to play hide and seek. Ben was the seeker and Mia was the hider.
+
+Mia ran to the back of the garden, where there was a big tree. She climbed up the tree and hid behind some leaves. She thought Ben would never find her there. She waited and waited, but she did not hear Ben's voice. She wondered where he was.
+
+Ben had looked for Mia everywhere, but he could not see her. He thought she must have gone inside the house. He ran to the front door, but it was locked. He knocked and knocked, but no one answered. He felt scared and alone. He started to yell for his parents, but they did not hear him. They were in the garage, working on their new car.
+
+Ben yelled louder and louder, hoping someone would help him. He did not see the big dog that lived next door. The dog heard Ben's yelling and thought he was a stranger. The dog jumped over the fence and ran towards Ben. Ben saw the dog and screamed. He tried to run away, but the dog was faster. The dog bit Ben's leg and made him fall.
+
+Mia heard Ben's scream and climbed down the tree. She ran to the front of the house and saw Ben and the dog. She was very brave and threw a stick at the dog. The dog let go of Ben's leg and chased the stick. Mia ran to Ben and hugged him. She saw blood on his leg and cried.
+
+Their parents heard Mia's crying and came out of the garage. They saw Ben and Mia and the dog. They were very shocked and sorry. They called an ambulance and took Ben to the hospital. They told him they loved him and they were proud of him and Mia. They said they would buy him a new toy and a cake when he got better. Ben smiled and said he loved them too. He said he was sorry for yelling and he was glad Mia was his sister. Mia smiled and said she was sorry for hiding and she was glad Ben was her brother. They hugged each other and waited for the ambulance.
+Lily liked bananas. She liked to eat them for breakfast, or as a snack, or sometimes even for dessert. She liked them when they were yellow and sweet, not when they were brown and mushy. She always asked her mom to buy more bananas when they went to the store.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big bunch of bananas on the kitchen counter. She was very happy. She wanted to eat one right away, but her mom said, "Not now, Lily. Those are for later. We have to go out for a while. You can have one when we come back."
+
+Lily nodded, but she was still hungry. She thought, maybe I can have just one banana. Mom won't notice. She waited until her mom was busy putting on her coat and shoes. Then she sneaked to the counter and grabbed a banana. She peeled it and took a big bite.
+
+But the banana was not yellow and sweet. It was brown and mushy. It tasted bad. Lily spat it out and made a face. She looked at the other bananas. They were all brown and mushy too. She realized that they were spoiled. She felt sick and sad.
+
+She heard her mom say, "Come on, Lily. Let's go." She ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I ate a banana. But it was spoiled. All the bananas are spoiled. They are poor bananas."
+
+Her mom looked at the counter and saw the mess. She sighed and said, "Oh, Lily. You shouldn't have done that. Those bananas were not for eating. They were for making banana bread. I was going to bake it for you when we came back. But now we have to throw them away."
+
+Lily felt worse. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know. I like banana bread. Can we buy more bananas?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. You made a mistake. But next time, please ask me before you take something. And don't eat spoiled food. It's not good for you. Come on, let's go to the store. Maybe we can find some more bananas."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They pretend to be chefs and make food with the plants. They pick some tomatoes and put them in a big pot. They stir and stir and say, "Yum, yum, tomato soup!"
+
+But then they see a big worm in the pot. They scream and drop the pot. The tomatoes and the worm fall on the ground. Anna and Ben run away. They are scared of the worm.
+
+Mom comes and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? You should not play with the food. You should not waste the tomatoes. They are good for you. And you should not be afraid of the worm. He is not bad. He helps the plants grow."
+
+Anna and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were just pretending. We did not know the worm was there. We did not mean to make a mess."
+
+Mom says, "It's okay. I know you were having fun. But next time, be more careful. And if you want to pretend to be chefs, use something else. Like rocks or leaves or flowers. And if you see a worm, say hello. He is your friend in the garden."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They hug Mom and say, "We love you, Mom. Thank you for teaching us." They go back to the garden and find some rocks and leaves and flowers. They pretend to be chefs again. But this time, they are more careful. And they are not scared of the worm. They say hello to him and share some flowers. They are happy and busy.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They share a room and a bed. Every morning, they wake up when the sun comes in the window. They like to play and talk before they get up.
+
+One morning, Ben wakes up and sees something strange on the wall. It is a big shadow that looks like a monster. He is scared and he stares at it. He nudges Mia and whispers, "Mia, look at the wall. There is a monster!"
+
+Mia wakes up and looks at the wall. She sees the shadow too. She is not scared. She is smart and she knows what it is. She smiles and says, "Ben, that is not a monster. That is our teddy bear. He is on the shelf and the sun makes his shadow. See, he is helpful. He keeps us company and he makes us laugh."
+
+Ben looks at the shelf and sees the teddy bear. He feels silly and he laughs too. He says, "You are right, Mia. That is our teddy bear. He is helpful and he is funny. He is not a monster. He is our friend."
+
+They hug the teddy bear and they get up. They are happy and they are ready for a new day. They say, "Thank you, teddy bear, for being helpful and making us laugh. We love you."
+Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big slide. Lila wants to go on it, but Tom is scared.
+
+"Come on, Tom, it's fun!" Lila says. "You can slide down fast and feel the wind in your hair."
+
+"No, Lila, it's too high. I might fall and hurt myself. I want to stay on the swings. They are safe and cozy." Tom says.
+
+Lila shrugs and runs to the slide. She climbs up the ladder and stretches her arms. She feels brave and happy. She slides down with a whoop and lands on the sand. She does it again and again.
+
+Tom watches her from the swings. He feels a little jealous and a little curious. He wonders what it feels like to slide down. He thinks maybe he can try it once. He gets off the swing and walks to the slide. He looks up and feels his heart beat fast. He climbs up the ladder slowly and carefully. He reaches the top and sits on the edge. He looks down and feels his stomach flip. He wants to go back, but he can't. He is stuck.
+
+"Help, Lila, help!" Tom cries. "I'm scared! I can't slide down!"
+
+Lila hears him and runs to the slide. She sees him and smiles. She has an idea. She climbs up the ladder again and sits behind him. She wraps her arms around him and whispers in his ear.
+
+"Don't worry, Tom, I'm here. You are not alone. We can slide down together. It will be fun. Trust me. You are lucky to have a sister like me." She says.
+
+Tom feels her hug and hears her voice. He feels a little better. He nods and holds her hand. They slide down together and feel the wind in their hair. They land on the sand and laugh. They hug each other and feel proud.
+
+"Wow, Lila, that was amazing! Thank you for helping me. You are the best sister ever." Tom says.
+
+"You're welcome, Tom. You are very brave. I'm glad you tried it. You are the best brother ever." Lila says.
+
+They run to their mom and tell her what they did. She smiles and hugs them. She tells them they are both lucky and safe. They agree and feel happy. They play some more in the park and have a great day.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to make different shapes with them, like squares, triangles and circles. Lily made a big tower with her blocks, and Ben made a long train.
+
+"Look at my tower, Ben!" Lily said. "It is so tall and strong. It is the best shape ever!"
+
+Ben looked at Lily's tower and felt envious. He wanted to have a tower like that too. He thought his train was boring and small. He decided to do something naughty. He pushed his train towards Lily's tower and crashed into it. The blocks fell down and made a loud noise.
+
+"Ben, why did you do that?" Lily cried. "You broke my tower! That was not nice!"
+
+Ben felt a little sorry, but he also felt happy. He thought he had made a better shape with the blocks. He smiled and said, "My train is better than your tower. It can move and make sounds. Your tower can only stand there and yawn."
+
+Lily was very angry and sad. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. She picked up her blocks and moved to another corner of the room. She started to make a new shape with them, but she did not have fun.
+
+Their mom came in and saw what had happened. She was not happy either. She asked them what was wrong and why they were not playing together. Lily and Ben told her their stories.
+
+Mom shook her head and said, "Lily and Ben, you are both wrong. There is no best shape. All shapes are good and different. You should not be envious of each other's shapes. You should be proud of your own shapes and share them with each other. You should also be kind and respectful to each other's shapes. You should not break them or hurt them. That is not how you play with blocks. That is how you lose friends."
+
+Lily and Ben felt ashamed and realized their mom was right. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to play with their blocks together again. They made new shapes and mixed them up. They had fun and learned to appreciate each other's shapes. They also learned to be good friends.
+Tom and Mia were having lunch with Mom. They had yummy soup and bread. Mom gave them each a spoon and a fork. Tom liked to use his fork to poke the bread. Mia liked to use her spoon to scoop the soup.
+
+"Tom, please use your spoon for the soup," Mom said. "The fork is for the salad."
+
+"But I like the fork," Tom said. "It is fun and shiny."
+
+Mia looked at her fork. It was clean and silver. She wanted to try it too. She put her spoon down and picked up her fork. She dipped it in the soup and lifted it to her mouth.
+
+"Oops!" Mia said. The soup dripped from the fork and spilled on her shirt. She felt wet and sticky. She did not like it.
+
+"Mia, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "The fork is not good for the soup. It makes a mess. Use your spoon, please."
+
+Mia nodded. She put the fork down and picked up the spoon. She wiped her shirt with a napkin. She felt better.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Mia said. "I wanted to try the fork like Tom."
+
+"That's okay, Mia," Mom said. "But the fork is for the salad. The spoon is for the soup. They have different jobs. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, Mom," Mia and Tom said. They used their spoons for the soup and their forks for the salad. They ate their lunch and enjoyed it. They returned their spoons and forks to the sink. Mom was happy. She praised them for being good and clean.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But today is a special day. It is their birthday. They are very happy.

+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who liked to run and bark.
+
+One day, they saw a big truck stop in front of their house. The truck had a lot of wood and metal on it. They wondered what it was for. They asked their mom, who was watching them from the window.
+
+"Mom, what is that truck for?" Tom asked.
+
+"Mom, what are they going to do?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "They are going to fix our roof. Remember, last week it rained a lot and some water came into our house? The roof has a hole and they are going to make it normal again."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They remembered the water and how it made their toys wet. They were glad that the roof was going to be normal again.
+
+They watched as the men from the truck climbed up a ladder and started to work on the roof. They made a lot of noise with their tools and their voices. Spot barked at them, but they did not mind.
+
+Tom and Lily wanted to see what they were doing, but they knew they had to stay away from the ladder and the roof. Mom told them it was dangerous and they could get hurt. They listened to Mom and played with their toys and Spot.
+
+After a while, they got tired of the noise and the sun. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. They decided to go inside and take a nap. They said goodbye to the men and thanked them for fixing their roof.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "You are very good children. You are smart and polite and you follow the rules. I am proud of you."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and went to their room. They lay down on their beds and closed their eyes. They felt happy and safe. They knew that their roof was normal again and that their mom loved them. They fell asleep and dreamed of nice things.
+Lila and Ben are playing with blocks. They are making a big temple with many rooms and doors. Lila likes purple, so she puts purple blocks on the top of the temple. Ben likes blue, so he puts blue blocks on the sides of the temple.
+
+"Look, our temple is so pretty!" Lila says. "We are good builders!"
+
+"Yes, we are!" Ben says. "But I am hot and thirsty. Can we have some juice?"
+
+"OK, let's go to the kitchen and ask Mom for juice," Lila says. They leave their blocks on the floor and run to the kitchen.
+
+Mom is in the kitchen, making a cake. She sees Lila and Ben and smiles. "Hello, my little builders! What are you making?"
+
+"A temple, Mom! A purple and blue temple!" Lila says.
+
+"That sounds wonderful! Do you want some juice?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lila and Ben say.
+
+Mom pours some juice in two cups and gives them to Lila and Ben. They drink the juice and say, "Thank you, Mom!"
+
+"You're welcome, my loves. But look, you have juice on your faces. Here, let me wipe it off with a napkin," Mom says. She takes a napkin and wipes Lila's mouth and nose. Then she wipes Ben's mouth and chin.
+
+"There, now you are clean and fresh. Do you want to go back to your temple?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, Mom! Come and see it, it's very big and nice!" Lila says.
+
+"OK, let's go and see it. But be careful not to knock it down, OK?" Mom says.
+
+"OK, Mom!" Lila and Ben say. They hold Mom's hands and lead her to their temple. They show her their purple and blue blocks and tell her what each room is for.
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "You are very creative and smart, Lila and Ben. I am proud of you. And I love your temple. It's the best temple ever!"
+Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a pond with many ducks. Lily and Ben liked ducks. They wanted to feed them bread.
+
+"Can we join the ducks, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Only from the edge, sweetie. Ducks need space and water. We can watch them and throw them some bread," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They took some bread from Mom and walked to the pond. They saw a big duck, a small duck, and a yellow duck. They threw some bread to each duck. The ducks came closer and quacked.
+
+"Hello, ducks!" Ben said. "You are so calm and nice. Do you like bread?"
+
+The ducks nodded and ate the bread. They quacked again and swam around. Lily and Ben smiled and clapped. They liked joining the ducks. They felt calm and happy too.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with a thick trunk and many green leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky.
+
+"Can we climb the tree, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Be careful, children. The tree is very high and the branches are not strong. You might fall and hurt yourself." Mom said.
+
+"But the tree is harmless, Mom. It does not bite or scratch. It only gives us shade and fruit." Tom said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You are right, Tom. The tree is harmless, but it is also old and wise. It has grown for many years and seen many things. It knows how to protect itself and its friends. If you want to climb the tree, you have to ask the tree first."
+
+"How do we ask the tree, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"You have to touch the trunk gently and say hello. Then you have to listen to the tree. It will tell you if it is happy or sad, if it is tired or strong, if it wants to play or rest. The tree has a voice, but it is very soft and slow. You have to be quiet and patient to hear it." Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and ran to the tree. They touched the trunk gently and said hello. They listened to the tree. They heard a faint rustle of the leaves and a low hum of the wood. They felt a warm and friendly feeling in their hearts.
+
+The tree said, "Hello, children. I am happy to see you. You are kind and respectful. You can climb me, but be careful. Do not break my branches or hurt my bark. Do not go too high or too far. Stay close to me and I will keep you safe. Enjoy the view and the breeze. I will tell you stories of the sun and the moon, of the birds and the bees, of the seasons and the stars. I will be your friend and you will be mine."
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and thanked the tree. They climbed the tree carefully and happily. They saw the birds and the sky. They heard the stories of the tree. They felt the love of the tree. They had a wonderful time. Mom watched them and smiled too. She was glad that they had found a harmless and wise friend in the tree.

+Suddenly, Lily felt a tug on her rod. She shouted, "I got one! I got one!" She pulled hard and lifted the rod. But instead of a fish, she saw a shiny metal thing. It was a can. She was disappoint. She said, "Oh, no. It's not a fish. It's a can."
+
+Ben laughed. He said, "That's funny. Maybe you can use it as a hat." He put the can on Lily's head and made a funny face. Lily laughed too. She said, "You are silly. This is not a hat. It's a can."
+
+Their dad smiled. He said, "That's okay. You can try again. Maybe you will catch a fish next time. Or maybe something else. You never know what you will find in the lake. That's what makes it adventurous." He hugged them and said, "I'm proud of you. You are brave and curious. You have fun and learn new things. You are my adventurous kids."

+They see a lady on a bench. She is reading a book. She looks busy. Lily and Ben want to share their peaches with her. They go to the bench. They say hello. They offer her a peach. They say, this is for you. We picked it from the tree.
+
+The lady smiles. She says thank you. She takes the peach. She says, you are very kind. She bites the peach. She says, it is very juicy and yummy. She says, do you want some of my book? She shows them the book. It has many pictures and words.

+Ben likes to match his pants with his shirt. He has many pants and shirts in different colors. He can make red and red, blue and blue, or green and green. He thinks matching is fun and easy.
+
+One day, Ben goes to the park with his mom. He sees a boy with a big bike and a shiny watch. The boy wears pants and a shirt that do not match. His pants are yellow and his shirt is purple. Ben thinks the boy looks funny and silly.
+
+Ben runs to the boy and says, "Your pants and shirt do not match. You should wear the same color. Matching is good." The boy looks at Ben and says, "I do not care about matching. I wear what I want. I am rich. I have a big bike and a shiny watch. You are poor. You have a small bike and no watch. Rich is better than matching."
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He does not like the boy. He likes his small bike and his matching clothes. He thinks rich is not better than matching. He says, "I do not want to be your friend. You are mean and rude. Matching is better than rich. Matching is fun and easy. Rich is boring and hard."
+
+Ben runs back to his mom and tells her what happened. His mom hugs him and says, "I am proud of you, Ben. You are smart and kind. You do not need to be rich to be happy. You have what you need. You have a bike, a watch, and many pants and shirts that match. You also have me, and I love you very much." Ben smiles and says, "I love you too, mom. You are the best. Can we go home and match some more?" His mom says, "Yes, we can. Let's go home and match some more." They leave the park and go home, happy and matching.

+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big house with a fence. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go there," Tim said.
+
+"No, we can't," Lily said. "Mom said to stay in the park. And that house looks scary. Maybe a witch lives there."
+
+Tim did not listen. He was brave and curious. He climbed over the fence and ran to the house. He knocked on the door.
+
+"Who is it?" a voice said. It was old and mean.
+
+"It's me, Tim," Tim said.
+
+The door opened. A woman with a long nose and a black hat stood there. She was a witch. She smiled and said, "Hello, Tim. Do you want to come in? I have some candy for you."
+
+Tim liked candy. He forgot about Lily and the park. He said, "Yes, please."
+
+The witch grabbed him and pulled him inside. She locked the door. She said, "You are not here for candy. You are here for my dinner. You are fit and tasty. I will cook you in my pot."
+
+Tim was scared. He cried and shouted, "Help! Help! Lily, help me!"
+
+Lily heard him. She was worried. She ran to the fence and saw the witch's house. She saw the door was locked. She looked for a way to get in. She saw a window. It was small, but she was fit and thin. She climbed over the fence and ran to the window. She pushed it open and crawled inside.
+
+She saw Tim in a cage. She saw the witch with a big pot. She said, "Let Tim go! He is my friend. You are a bad witch!"
+
+The witch laughed and said, "No, I won't. He is my dinner. And you are too. You are fit and sweet. I will cook you both in my pot."

+Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play in their big house. They had many toys and books and games, and they felt very happy. They had a lot of luxury, which means they had more things than they needed.
+
+One day, their mom told them to share their toys with their cousins, who were coming to visit. Tom and Anna did not like this idea. They wanted to keep their toys for themselves. They thought their cousins were noisy and messy and rude. They decided to hide their toys in their rooms, and spread them all over the floor and the bed.
+
+When their cousins arrived, they ran to Tom and Anna's rooms, hoping to find some fun things to play with. But they were very disappointed. They saw only a mess of toys that Tom and Anna did not want to share. They felt angry and sad. They told their mom and dad what Tom and Anna did.
+
+Their mom and dad were not happy either. They scolded Tom and Anna for being selfish and unkind. They told them to clean up their rooms and apologize to their cousins. They also took away some of their toys and gave them to their cousins as a gift.
+
+Tom and Anna felt very sorry for what they did. They realized they had been mean and foolish. They learned that sharing is better than hoarding, and that playing with others is more fun than playing alone. They hugged their cousins and said they were sorry. They also invited them to play with their toys together. Their cousins forgave them and smiled. They all had a playful time, and became good friends.

+
+One day, a bad man comes to the castle. He wants to take Lila's toys. He sneaks into her room when she is not there. He sees the bear with the one on its nose. He thinks it is a special toy. He grabs it and runs away.
+
+But the bear is alert. It sees the bad man and makes a loud roar. Lila hears the roar and runs to her room. She sees the bad man with her bear. She is very angry. She shouts, "Stop! That is my bear! Give it back!"

+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy trains on the floor. They liked to make them go fast and make noises. Lily had a red train and Ben had a blue train. They pretended that their trains were going to different places.
+
+"Look, my train is going to the zoo!" Lily said. She pointed to a picture of a lion on the wall. "Roar!"
+
+"My train is going to the mountain!" Ben said. He pointed to a pillow that he put on the floor. "Choo-choo!"
+
+They played for a while, until they heard a loud whistle from outside. They ran to the window and saw a large train passing by. It was black and shiny, and it had steam coming out of its chimney. They were amazed by the sight.
+
+"Wow, look at that train!" Lily said. "It's so big and strong!"
+
+"It's so cool and fast!" Ben said. "It makes a lot of steam!"
+
+They watched the train until it disappeared in the distance. Then they looked at each other and smiled.
+
+"Let's play with our trains again!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, but let's share them!" Ben said. "We can take turns to play with the red and the blue train!"
+
+They agreed and went back to their toys. They learned that trains are fun, but sharing is even more fun.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw some older kids near the park. The older kids had sticks that made smoke. They put the sticks in their mouths and blew out the smoke. Lily and Tom thought the smoke looked cool and wanted to try it.
+
+They went to the older kids and asked them if they could have some sticks. The older kids laughed and said no. They said the sticks were not for little kids. They said the sticks were called cigarettes and they made them feel good. They said Lily and Tom were too young and silly to understand.
+
+Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They wanted to feel good too. They thought the older kids were mean and rude. They decided to sneak away and find some cigarettes somewhere else. They looked around and saw a trash can near the street. They saw some cigarettes that were not burned all the way. They grabbed them and ran to a hidden spot behind a tree.
+
+They put the cigarettes in their mouths and tried to light them with a match. They did not know how to do it right. They coughed and choked on the smoke. They felt sick and dizzy. They did not feel good at all. They felt scared and sorry.
+
+A man who was walking by saw the smoke and the kids. He ran to them and took away the cigarettes and the match. He was very angry and worried. He shouted at them and asked them what they were doing. He said they were very naughty and stupid. He said they could have hurt themselves or started a fire. He said he would tell their parents and they would be in big trouble.
+
+Lily and Tom cried and begged him not to tell. They said they were sorry and they would never do it again. They said they only wanted to try something new. They said they did not know it was so bad. The man did not listen. He did not permit them to go. He took them by the hand and dragged them to their homes. He told their parents everything. Their parents were very angry and sad. They scolded them and punished them. They said they were very disappointed and ashamed. They said they could not trust them anymore.
+
+Lily and Tom felt very bad. They wished they had never seen the smoke. They wished they had never been so curious and lazy. They wished they had listened to the older kids and stayed away. They wished they had played something else. They learned a hard lesson that day. They never touched cigarettes again.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but they always wanted more. One day, they saw a big box in the living room. They thought it was a new toy for them, so they ran to open it.
+
+But when they opened the box, they were disappointed. It was not a toy, but a wire. A long, thin, metal wire that their dad needed for his work. It looked boring and useless to them. They sighed and threw the wire on the floor.
+
+Then they went to look for other toys to play with. But they could not find any. They had played with all their toys so many times that they were bored of them. They sighed again and sat on the couch.
+
+Their mom saw them and asked them what was wrong. They told her that they had no toys to play with and that the wire in the box was boring. Their mom smiled and said, "Why don't you use your imagination? The wire can be anything you want it to be. You can bend it, twist it, shape it, and make it into something fun. You just have to be creative and try."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other and decided to give it a try. They picked up the wire and started to play with it. They made it into a snake, a necklace, a crown, a bracelet, a ring, a car, a plane, a star, and many other things. They had so much fun that they forgot about their other toys. They laughed and smiled and thanked their mom for the idea.
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you learned that you don't need many toys to have fun. You just need your imagination and your creativity. And sometimes, the most boring things can be the most fun things, if you look at them differently."
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy jeep. It is red and big and has four wheels. They pretend it is a real jeep and they go on adventures.
+
+One day, they see a shiny car in the street. It is a limo. It is very long and black and has a driver. They think it belongs to someone rich. They want to see who is inside.
+
+"Let's follow the limo with our jeep!" Ben says. "Maybe we can catch a glimpse of the rich person!"
+
+"OK!" Sam agrees. They hop on their jeep and start to pedal. They follow the limo at a safe distance. They are very curious and excited.
+
+The limo stops at a big house with a gate. The driver gets out and opens the door. Ben and Sam pedal faster to catch up. They see a man in a suit and a woman in a dress get out of the limo. They are holding hands and smiling.
+
+"Wow, they look so happy and rich!" Ben says.
+
+"Maybe they are movie stars!" Sam says.
+
+They are about to get closer when they hear a loud bark. A big dog runs out of the house and towards them. It has sharp teeth and a mean face. It does not like strangers.
+
+"Uh-oh, it's a guard dog!" Ben says. "We have to get away!"
+
+They turn their jeep around and pedal as fast as they can. The dog chases them and tries to catch them. It is very scary.
+
+"Help!" Ben and Sam scream.
+
+They pedal and pedal until they reach their home. They jump off their jeep and run inside. They slam the door behind them. They are safe.
+
+"That was a close call!" Ben says.
+
+"Too close!" Sam says.
+
+They hug each other and breathe hard. They are glad they have each other. They decide to play with their jeep inside from now on. They do not want to follow any more limos. They are happy with what they have.
+Lily liked to play with her red bracelet. It was shiny and pretty and made a nice sound when she moved her arm. She got it from her grandma for her birthday and she loved it very much.
+
+One day, she was playing with her bracelet in the garden when her big brother Tom came over. He saw the bracelet and wanted to have it.
+
+"Give me that bracelet, Lily. It's mine now," he said, reaching for her arm.
+
+"No, Tom. It's mine. Grandma gave it to me. Go away," Lily said, pulling her arm away.
+
+Tom was angry and tried to grab the bracelet again. He was bigger and stronger than Lily and he thought he could take anything he wanted.
+
+"Stop it, Tom. You're hurting me. Leave me alone," Lily cried, trying to run away.
+
+But Tom was faster and he caught her. He snatched the bracelet from her wrist and ran away, laughing.
+
+Lily was very sad and hurt. She ran to her mom and told her what happened.
+
+Mom was not happy with Tom. She called him and scolded him.
+
+"Tom, how could you do that to your sister? That was very mean and selfish of you. You should be ashamed of yourself. Give the bracelet back to Lily right now and apologize to her," she said.
+
+Tom felt bad and realized he was wrong. He gave the bracelet back to Lily and said he was sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken your bracelet. It's yours and it's very nice. Can you forgive me?" he said.
+
+Lily was still upset, but she saw that Tom was sorry. She decided to forgive him and hugged him.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. You're my brother and I love you. But don't take my things again, okay?" she said.
+
+Tom nodded and hugged her back.
+
+"Okay, Lily. I love you too. And I'm sorry. Can we play together now?" he said.
+
+Lily smiled and nodded.
+
+"Okay, Tom. We can play together. But let me wear my bracelet, okay?" she said.
+
+Tom agreed and they went to play together in the garden. They both learned a lesson and became closer as siblings.
+Tim and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They used the shovel to fill the bucket with mud. They made mud pies and mud castles. They had a lot of fun.
+
+One day, they saw a shiny car parked in front of their house. It was their aunt's car. She came to visit them. She had a big smile and a big bag. She said, "Hello, Tim and Lily! I have a surprise for you in the bag. Do you want to see?"
+
+Tim and Lily ran to the car. They wanted to see the surprise. They left the bucket and the shovel in the garden. They did not see the cat.
+
+The cat was curious. It saw the bucket and the shovel. It jumped into the bucket. It played with the mud. It made a big mess. It got mud all over its fur and the bucket.
+
+Tim and Lily opened the bag. They saw two beautiful dolls. They had long hair and pretty dresses. They were expensive dolls. Tim and Lily were very happy. They thanked their aunt. They said, "We love the dolls! They are so nice!"
+
+They wanted to show the dolls to their mom. They ran to the house. They did not see the cat.
+
+The cat was tired. It wanted to sleep. It saw the shiny car. It jumped on the car. It curled up on the seat. It did not care about the mud.
+
+Tim and Lily showed the dolls to their mom. She said, "Wow, they are lovely! Your aunt is very generous. You should take good care of them."
+
+They said, "We will, mom. We will keep them clean and safe."
+
+They wanted to play with the dolls in the garden. They ran to the garden. They saw the cat.
+
+They screamed. They saw the mud. They saw the car. They saw the mess.
+
+Their aunt heard them. She came to the garden. She saw the cat. She saw the mud. She saw the car. She saw the mess.
+
+She gasped. She said, "Oh, no! My car! My seat! My cat! What happened?"
+
+Tim and Lily did not know what to say. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, aunt. We did not mean to. We were playing with the mud. We did not see the cat."
+
+Their aunt sighed. She said, "It's okay, Tim and Lily. I know you did not do it on purpose. But you should be more careful. Mud is fun, but it can also be dirty. And my car is expensive, and my cat is precious. You should respect them."
+
+Tim and Lily nodded. They said, "We understand, aunt. We will respect them. We will help you clean them."
+
+They got a cloth and a hose. They helped their aunt clean the car and the cat. They also cleaned the bucket and the shovel. They learned a lesson. They still liked to play with the mud, but they also liked to keep things clean. And they loved their dolls and their aunt and their cat.
+Sara loves to ride her bike. She has a pink bike with a bell and a basket. She likes to go fast and ring her bell. She rides with her dad to the park every day.

+One day, Sara sees a boy with a big bike. His bike has two taps on the handlebars. He can twist the taps and make his bike go faster or slower. Sara thinks his bike is cool. She wants to try it.
+
+"Hi, I'm Sara. Can I ride your bike?" she asks the boy.
+

+Lily liked to go to the library with her mom. She loved to look at the books with many pictures and colors. She also liked to play with the toys and puzzles in the children's area. But there was one thing that made her anxious: the big slide.
+
+The slide was in the middle of the library. It was shiny and metal and very high. Lily saw other kids go on the slide and laugh and scream. They looked like they had fun. But Lily was scared. She thought the slide was too fast and too loud. She did not want to go on the slide.
+
+One day, her mom said, "Lily, why don't you try the slide? It's not scary, it's fun. I'll go with you if you want."
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, mom, I don't want to. The slide is scary. I want to stay here."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Okay, Lily, you don't have to go on the slide. But maybe you can watch the other kids and see how they do it. Maybe you will change your mind."
+
+Lily nodded and followed her mom to the slide. She saw a boy with a red shirt go on the slide. He smiled and waved at his dad. He slid down the slide and landed on a soft mat. He got up and ran to the stairs to go again.
+
+Lily watched him and felt curious. She wondered how it felt to slide down the slide. She looked at her mom and said, "Mom, can I try the slide?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Of course, Lily, you can try the slide. I'm proud of you for being brave. Do you want me to go with you?"
+
+Lily shook her head again. "No, mom, I want to go by myself. I can do it."
+
+She took her mom's hand and walked to the stairs. She climbed up the stairs and reached the top of the slide. She looked down and felt a little nervous. But she also felt excited. She took a deep breath and said, "Here I go!"

+
+Lily smiled and said, "Can I go again?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Sure, Lily, you can go again. As many times as you want."
+Lily was a dancer. She liked to dance with her doll. She danced in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a big tree with many leaves. She wanted to dance on the tree. She asked her mom, "Can I dance on the tree, mom?"
+
+Her mom said, "No, Lily, you can't. The tree is too high and too thin. You can fall and hurt yourself. You can dance on the grass, or on the bench, or on the slide. But not on the tree."
+
+Lily did not listen to her mom. She waited until her mom was talking to another mom. She ran to the tree and climbed up. She felt very brave and happy. She started to dance on the branch. She twirled, she jumped, she spun.
+
+But the branch was not strong enough. It broke with a loud snap. Lily fell down to the ground. She hit her head on a rock. She did not move. She did not cry. She did not breathe.

+
+"Ha ha, I am winning!" Tim says. He looks at Sam and sees his car is behind. He thinks of a joke to make Sam laugh. "Hey Sam, your car is so slow, it is like a snail!"
+
+Sam does not laugh. He feels sad and angry. He thinks Tim is being harsh. He does not like Tim's joke. He wants to win the race too. He pushes his car harder and tries to catch up.
+
+But then, something happens. Tim's car hits a bump and flips over. It stops moving. Sam's car passes by and reaches the end. Sam wins the race!

+Lisa pouted. She did not like apples or bananas. She saw a big jar of candy on the shelf. It had a sign that said "available". She thought that meant she could have some. She reached for the jar and tried to open it.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" a voice said. It was the shopkeeper. He was angry. He took the jar from Lisa and put it back on the shelf. He said the candy did not belong to her. He said she had to pay for it.
+
+Lisa was scared. She ran back to mom and hugged her. She said she was sorry. She said she did not know.

+
+They found some carrots in their bags and ran to the rabbits. The rabbits were hungry and came to them. Tim and Lily gave them the carrots and laughed. They thought the rabbits were cute and funny.
+
+But soon the rabbits became impatient. They wanted more carrots. They bit Tim and Lily's fingers and clothes. They scratched their legs and arms. They made loud noises. Tim and Lily were scared and hurt. They cried and ran away.

+Tim and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry to the park ranger and the rabbits. They learned their lesson. They promised to never feed the rabbits or any other animals again. They said they would always read and follow the signs. They hugged and went home.
+Sam and Lily liked to play in the park. They had a big ball that they could roll on the grass. One day, they saw a trail in the dirt. It looked like a snake had made it.
+
+"Let's follow the trail!" Sam said. He picked up the ball and ran after it. Lily followed him. They wanted to see the snake.
+
+The trail went into the bushes. Sam and Lily pushed the leaves aside and looked inside. They saw a long, shiny snake. It had black and yellow stripes. It looked at them with small, black eyes.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily said. She reached out her hand to touch it.
+
+"Stop, Lily!" Sam shouted. "It might bite you!"
+
+The snake hissed and coiled up. It was angry. Sam and Lily got scared. They dropped the ball and ran away. The snake slithered after them.
+
+"Help, help!" Sam and Lily cried. They ran back to the grass. They saw their mom and dad sitting on a bench. They ran to them and hugged them.
+
+"What's wrong, kids?" Mom asked.
+
+"We saw a snake! It chased us!" Lily said.
+
+"Where is it?" Dad asked.
+
+They pointed to the bushes. Dad got up and walked over. He looked inside. He saw the ball, but no snake.
+
+"It's gone, kids. It was probably more scared of you than you were of it. But you should be careful. Some snakes can be dangerous. Don't touch them or follow them. Stay on the grass where it's safe," Dad said.
+
+"Okay, Dad. We're sorry. We won't do it again," Sam and Lily said.
+
+They hugged their mom and dad again. They felt safe. They picked up their ball and rolled it on the grass. They played and laughed. They forgot about the snake. They had fun.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a diamond. Ben picked it up and said, "Look, Lily, I found a diamond. It is so pretty and sparkly."
+
+Lily wanted the diamond too. She said, "No, Ben, it is mine. I saw it first. Give it to me."
+
+Ben did not want to share. He said, "No, Lily, it is mine. I picked it up first. You can't have it."
+
+They started to fight over the diamond. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see a man who was watching them. He had a big hat and a long coat. He looked mean and sneaky. He wanted the diamond too. He waited for a chance to take it.
+
+The man saw that Ben and Lily were not paying attention. He ran towards them and grabbed the diamond from Ben's hand. He said, "Ha ha, thank you, kids. This diamond is mine now. Bye bye."
+
+Ben and Lily were shocked and scared. They saw the man run away with the diamond. They felt sad and angry. They wanted the diamond back. They decided to follow the man. They ran after him and shouted, "Stop, thief. Give us our diamond back."
+
+The man heard them and looked back. He saw Ben and Lily chasing him. He felt worried and nervous. He ran faster and faster. He tried to lose them. He turned left and right and crossed the street. But Ben and Lily did not give up. They followed him and kept shouting.
+
+The man ran into a dead end. He had nowhere to go. He saw a police officer at the end of the street. He saw Ben and Lily behind him. He knew he was caught. He dropped the diamond and said, "Sorry, sorry, I made a mistake. Please don't arrest me."
+
+The police officer picked up the diamond and said, "You are under arrest, sir. You stole this diamond from these kids. That is very bad. You have to go to jail."
+
+Ben and Lily reached the police officer and the man. They were happy and relieved. They thanked the police officer and said, "Thank you, officer. You saved our diamond. You are very brave and good."
+
+The police officer smiled and said, "You're welcome, kids. You are very brave and good too. You followed the thief and helped me catch him. But you should also be careful. Don't fight over things. Learn to share and be nice to each other."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, officer. We will share and be nice. We are sorry for fighting. We are friends again."
+
+They hugged each other and said, "We are friends again."
+
+They looked at the diamond and said, "We are friends again. And we have a diamond."
+Lily liked to watch TV after school. She liked to see the animals and the songs and the stories. But her mom said she had to do her homework first. Lily did not like homework. It was hard and boring. She wanted to watch TV now.
+
+One day, Lily had an idea. She saw the scissors on the table. She thought she could cut the homework and make it smaller. Then it would be easy and fast. She took the scissors and cut the homework into little pieces. She threw the pieces in the bin. She felt happy. She ran to the TV and turned it on.
+
+But the TV did not work. It only showed a black screen. Lily was confused. She tried to change the channel. She tried to turn it off and on. Nothing happened. She heard her mom coming. She felt scared.
+
+Her mom saw the TV and the scissors and the bin. She was angry. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You cut the TV cord with the scissors! Now the TV is broken. And you cut your homework too! That is very naughty. You have to tidy your room and no TV for a week!"
+
+Lily was sad. She wished she had not cut the TV cord and the homework. She wished she had listened to her mom. She learned her lesson. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't do it again." She went to tidy her room. She hoped the TV would be fixed soon. She missed the animals and the songs and the stories.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. But today, the sky is gray and it rains a lot. They have to stay inside their house. They are restless. They want to go out and have fun.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the park now?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, Tom, it is still raining. Maybe later, when it stops," Mom says.
+
+"Can we play with our toys then?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, you can play with your toys. But be careful and don't make a mess," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily go to their room. They have many toys. They have cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. They start to play with their cars. They make them go fast and make noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep!
+
+They have fun for a while. But then they get bored. They want to play something else. They look around their room. They see their bed. It is big and soft. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's make a tent with our bed!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, let's do that!" Lily says.
+
+They take their blankets and pillows. They put them on top of their bed. They make a big tent. They crawl inside. It is cozy and warm. They pretend they are camping in the woods.
+
+They hear a noise. It is their dad. He comes to their room. He sees their tent. He smiles.
+
+"Hello, campers! What are you doing in there?" Dad asks.
+
+"We are camping, Dad! We have a tent and a fire and marshmallows!" Tom says.
+
+"Wow, that sounds fun! Can I join you?" Dad asks.
+
+"Sure, Dad! Come in!" Lily says.
+
+Dad leans down and crawls inside their tent. He joins them in their pretend camping. He tells them stories and jokes. They laugh and hug. They forget about the rain. They are happy.
+Mia and Ben are playing with crayons and paper. They like to draw many things: suns, stars, flowers, cars, animals. Mia draws a big rainbow with many colors. She is happy with her rainbow.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a rainbow!" Mia says, showing her paper to Ben.
+
+"Wow, Mia, your rainbow is very pretty!" Ben says, smiling. He likes Mia's rainbow. He wants to make one too. He picks up a red crayon and starts to draw a line on his paper.
+
+But then, he makes a mistake. He draws the line too long and it goes out of the paper. He tries to erase it with his hand, but it only makes a red smudge on the table. He feels sad and angry.
+
+"Uh-oh, Ben, you made a mess!" Mia says, seeing the smudge. She wants to help Ben. She gets a wet cloth from the kitchen and comes back to the table. She wipes the smudge with the cloth until it is gone.
+
+"Here, Ben, I fixed it for you!" Mia says, giving the cloth to Ben. She hopes he will feel better.
+
+"Thank you, Mia, you are very sweet!" Ben says, taking the cloth. He feels happy again. He wipes his hand and his paper with the cloth. He throws away the red crayon and picks up a blue one. He tries to draw a line again, more carefully this time.
+
+"Look, Mia, I made a line!" Ben says, showing his paper to Mia.
+
+"Good job, Ben, your line is very nice!" Mia says, clapping her hands. She is proud of Ben. She gives him a hug and a kiss.
+
+They continue to draw together, making more lines and shapes and colors. They have fun and they are friends.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a lot of toys, but they always wanted more. They were spoiled children who did not like to share.
+
+One day, they saw a beautiful flower in the garden. It was red and yellow and smelled sweet. Lily and Max both wanted the flower for themselves.
+
+"I saw it first!" Lily said. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Max said. "I want it more!"
+
+They ran to the flower and pulled on it. They did not care that they were hurting the flower. They struggled to get it out of the ground.
+
+"Stop it!" a voice said. "You are being naughty!"
+
+It was their mother, who had been watching them from the window. She came out and took the flower from them. She was angry and sad.
+
+"Look what you have done!" she said. "You have ruined the flower! It was a gift from your grandma. She planted it for you to enjoy, not to fight over. You should be ashamed of yourselves!"
+
+Lily and Max felt sorry. They had not known that the flower was special. They had only thought of themselves. They hugged their mother and said they were sorry.
+
+"Please forgive us, Mommy," they said. "We love you and Grandma. We don't need the flower. We have each other."
+
+Their mother smiled and hugged them back. She was glad that they learned their lesson. She gave them each a kiss and said she loved them too.
+
+"Come on," she said. "Let's go inside and have some cookies. And maybe later, we can plant some new flowers together. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded and smiled. They followed their mother inside, holding hands. They decided to be nicer to each other and to the flowers. They were still spoiled, but they were also sweet.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a big hill with smoke coming out of it. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go up the hill," Ben said. "Maybe we can find something tasty."
+
+"Okay," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mom and Dad said not to go too far."
+
+They climbed the hill and saw a hole with red and orange stuff inside. It looked like fire, but it was not burning.
+
+"Wow," Ben said. "That looks like candy. I want to try some."
+
+He took a stick and poked the red and orange stuff. It was hot and sticky. He put some in his mouth.
+
+"Yuck," he said. "This is not candy. This is yucky."
+
+He spat it out and threw the stick away. The red and orange stuff did not like that. It made a loud noise and spit more stuff out of the hole.
+
+"Run," Lily said. "It's angry. It's going to hurt us."
+
+They ran down the hill, but the red and orange stuff was faster. It followed them and covered them. They screamed, but no one heard them. They disappeared under the red and orange stuff.
+
+Mom and Dad came looking for them, but they could not find them. They only saw the big hill with smoke coming out of it. They did not know that the hill was a volcano, and that their twins were gone. They were very sad. The end.
+Jill liked tuna. She liked to eat tuna from a can with her mom. She liked to share tuna with her cat, Spot. She liked to make tuna sandwiches for lunch. Tuna was her favorite food.
+
+One day, Jill saw a big orange fish in the pet store. It looked like tuna, but it was alive and swimming in a tank. Jill wanted the orange fish. She asked her mom, "Can we buy the orange fish, please?"
+
+Her mom said, "No, Jill. That is not a tuna. That is a goldfish. You cannot eat a goldfish. You can only look at it."
+
+Jill was sad. She did not understand why she could not have the orange fish. She thought it was the same as tuna. She said, "But I like tuna. I want the orange fish. It is pretty and shiny."
+
+Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Jill. But you have to mind me. We are not buying the orange fish. Come on, let's go home."
+
+Jill did not want to go home. She wanted the orange fish. She was angry and stubborn. She did not mind her mom. She ran away from her mom and grabbed the orange fish from the tank. She put it in her pocket and ran out of the pet store.
+
+Her mom saw her and shouted, "Jill, stop! That is not yours! That is not tuna! You are hurting the fish!"
+
+But Jill did not listen. She ran all the way home with the orange fish in her pocket. She wanted to eat it for dinner. She thought it would be yummy.
+
+But when she got home, she found out that the orange fish was not yummy. It was dead. It had no water and no air in her pocket. It was stiff and cold and smelly. Jill felt sick. She cried and cried. She wished she had minded her mom. She wished she had left the orange fish alone. She wished she had eaten tuna instead.
+Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. Today, they are going to visit their grandma. Mom tells them to prepare for the trip. She says they need to pack their bags, brush their teeth, and put on their coats.
+
+Tom is happy. He loves grandma. He runs to his room and puts his toys, books, and hat in his bag. He brushes his teeth and puts on his coat. He is ready to go.
+
+Lily is grumpy. She does not want to go. She thinks grandma is boring. She walks slowly to her room and throws her doll, crayons, and scarf in her bag. She does not brush her teeth or put on her coat. She is not ready to go.
+
+Mom comes to check on them. She sees Tom waiting by the door. She smiles and says, "Good job, Tom. You are a good boy. You prepared well for the trip."
+
+She goes to Lily's room. She sees Lily sitting on the bed. She frowns and says, "Lily, what are you doing? You are a bad girl. You did not prepare well for the trip. You need to brush your teeth and put on your coat. Hurry up, or we will be late."
+
+Lily pouts and says, "I don't want to go. Grandma is boring. I want to stay here and play."
+
+Mom says, "No, Lily. You have to go. Grandma loves you and misses you. She has a surprise for you. You will have fun, I promise. Now, please, brush your teeth and put on your coat."
+
+Lily sighs and does what mom says. She brushes her teeth and puts on her coat. She is still grumpy, but she follows mom and Tom to the car.
+
+They drive to grandma's house. Grandma is waiting for them. She hugs them and says, "Hello, my darlings. I'm so happy to see you. Come in, come in. I have a surprise for you."
+
+She leads them to the living room. There, on the couch, is a big, fluffy, white puppy. It wags its tail and barks. Tom and Lily gasp. They run to the puppy and pet it. They are so happy. They thank grandma and say, "Wow, what a wonderful surprise. We love the puppy. Can we play with it?"
+
+Grandma says, "Of course, you can. The puppy is yours. I got it for you because you are my special grandchildren. I hope you will take good care of it and love it."
+
+Tom and Lily hug grandma and say, "We will, we will. Thank you, grandma. You are the best. We love you."
+
+Lily is not grumpy anymore. She smiles and says, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. Grandma is not boring. She is awesome. I'm glad we came."
+
+Mom says, "I'm glad, too, Lily. I'm proud of you. You prepared well for the trip, after all."
+
+They all laugh and play with the puppy. They have a great time at grandma's house. They are a happy family.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, Tom got a new toy from his mom. It was a big gray elephant with a long nose and big ears. Tom was very happy and wanted to show it to Lily.
+
+He ran to Lily's house and knocked on the door. Lily opened it and saw Tom holding the elephant. "Wow, what a nice toy!" she said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Tom nodded and gave the elephant to Lily. She took it and looked at it closely. She touched its nose and ears and made a sound like an elephant. "It's so soft and fun!" she said.
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Do you want to play with it? We can pretend it's a real elephant and go on an adventure."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, let's do that!" She grabbed Tom's hand and they ran to the backyard. They found a big cardboard box and put the elephant inside. They pretended it was a car and they were driving to the zoo.
+
+They had a lot of fun playing with the elephant and the box. They saw other animals and made noises like them. They laughed and sang and had a good time.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Lily's big brother, Ben, came home from school. He saw Tom and Lily playing with the elephant and the box. He was angry and jealous. He wanted the elephant for himself.
+
+He walked over to them and said, "Hey, what are you doing with my toy? Give it back to me!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and confused. They said, "It's not your toy, it's Tom's toy. His mom gave it to him. We're just playing with it."
+
+Ben didn't listen. He was harsh and mean. He grabbed the elephant from the box and pulled it hard. He said, "It's mine now. You can't have it. Go away!"
+
+Tom and Lily tried to stop him. They said, "No, don't do that! You're hurting the elephant. You're being mean. Give it back!"
+
+But Ben didn't care. He pulled harder and harder. He broke the elephant's nose and ears. He threw it on the ground and kicked it. He said, "There, now it's a bad toy. You can have it. I don't want it."
+
+Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They saw the elephant on the ground. It was broken and dirty. They cried and hugged it. They said, "We're sorry, elephant. We love you. You're a good toy."
+
+Ben saw them crying and felt bad. He realized he had done something wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, too. I was harsh and mean. I shouldn't have taken your toy and broken it. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at him and saw he was sorry. They said, "We forgive you, but you have to be nice and share. You can't be harsh and mean to us or the toys. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "I understand. I'll be nice and share. Can we be friends?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We can be friends, but you have to help us fix the elephant. Can you do that?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "I can do that. Let's go find some tape and glue and make the elephant better."
+
+They went inside and found some tape and glue. They worked together and fixed the elephant's nose and ears. They made it look nice and clean. They said, "There, now it's a good toy again. We're sorry, elephant. We love you."
+
+The elephant smiled and said, "I love you, too. Thank you for fixing me. You're good friends."
+
+They hugged the elephant and each other. They said, "You're welcome, elephant. You're a good friend, too."
+
+They went back to the backyard and played with the elephant and the box. They had a lot of fun and were happy. They learned to be nice and share and not be harsh and mean. They were good friends. The end.
+Ben loves to play with his plane. It is red and shiny and has a big wing. He likes to make it fly in the air and make zoom sounds. He pretends he is a pilot and goes on adventures.
+
+One day, he takes his plane outside to the park. He sees a big tree with many leaves. He thinks it would be fun to fly his plane around the tree. He throws his plane in the air and runs after it. He laughs and smiles.
+
+But then, something bad happens. His plane gets stuck in the tree. It is too high for him to reach. He tries to jump and grab it, but he can't. He feels sad and scared. He wants his plane back.
+
+He sees a long stick on the ground. He thinks maybe he can use it to get his plane. He picks up the stick and walks to the tree. He tries to poke his plane with the stick, but it is hard. He has to twist his arm and bend his body. He pushes harder and harder.
+
+But then, something worse happens. His plane breaks. It is fragile and can't take the stick. It falls to the ground in pieces. Ben hears a loud crack and sees his plane's wing snap. He feels very sad and angry. He cries and screams.
+
+He wishes he had not played with his plane near the tree. He wishes he had been more careful. He wishes he could fix his plane. He loves his plane. He hugs the broken pieces and says sorry. He hopes his plane can fly again.
+Jen and Sam were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sign that said "Ice Cream Truck". They ran to the sign, hoping to get some cream. But they had to wait in a long line of other kids.
+
+"Can we have some cream, please?" Jen asked the man in the truck when it was their turn.
+
+"Sure, what flavor do you want?" the man said.
+
+"Chocolate!" Sam said.
+
+"Vanilla!" Jen said.
+
+The man gave them each a cone with a scoop of cream. They thanked him and walked away, licking their cream.
+
+But Sam was clumsy. He tripped on a rock and dropped his cone on the ground. His cream was gone.
+
+"Oh no!" Sam cried. "My cream!"
+
+Jen felt sorry for her brother. She decided to share her cream with him.
+
+"Here, Sam, you can have some of mine," she said, holding out her cone.
+
+"Really? Thank you, Jen!" Sam said, smiling.
+
+They both ate from the same cone, happy to have each other.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many birds. They hear the birds sing and chirp. They want to see the birds up close.
+
+"Let's make a nest and pretend we are birds," Tom says. He picks up some sticks and leaves and puts them on the ground. Mia helps him. They make a round shape with the sticks and leaves. They mix some mud and water and put it on the nest to make it strong.
+
+"Look, we made a nest!" Mia says. She climbs inside the nest and lies down. Tom joins her. They pretend they are birds and make bird noises.
+
+But then they hear a loud thud. They look up and see a big branch falling from the tree. It lands on their nest and breaks it. The sticks and leaves and mud fly everywhere. Tom and Mia are scared and sad.
+
+"Our nest is gone!" Tom cries. He tries to lift the branch, but it is too heavy. He is weak.
+
+"Don't cry, Tom. We can make another nest," Mia says. She hugs him and wipes his tears. She is brave.
+
+They get out of the broken nest and look for a new place to play. They see a sandbox and some toys. They run to the sandbox and start to build a castle. They are happy again. They forget about the nest and the branch. They have fun.
+Lily liked to study animals. She had many books with pictures of animals. She wanted to learn their names and sounds. Her favorite animal was the lion. She liked its big mane and loud roar.
+
+One day, Lily went to the zoo with her mom and dad. She was very excited to see the real animals. She saw monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and many more. But she was looking for the lion. She asked her mom, "Where is the lion, mom?"
+
+Her mom said, "The lion is in that big cage over there. But he is sleeping now. Maybe he will wake up later."
+
+Lily ran to the cage. She saw the lion lying on the ground. He looked very big and furry. She wanted to hear him roar. She said, "Hello, lion. Can you roar for me, please?"
+
+But the lion did not answer. He did not open his eyes. He did not move. He was very tired. Lily felt sad. She said, "Are you sick, lion? Do you need a hug?"
+
+She reached out her hand to touch the lion. But her dad stopped her. He said, "No, Lily. You can't touch the lion. He is dangerous. He might bite you. You have to stay away from him."
+
+Lily was scared. She did not know the lion was dangerous. She thought he was friendly. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I did not mean to hurt the lion. I just wanted to hear him roar."
+
+Her dad said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you love animals. But you have to be careful. Some animals are not safe to touch. You can look at them and talk to them, but you can't touch them. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, dad. I will be careful. I will study the animals from far away. Maybe the lion will roar later. Can we wait for him?"
+
+Her dad smiled. He said, "Sure, Lily. We can wait for him. Maybe he will wake up and roar for you. But if he doesn't, you can still read your books and learn more about him. He is a very interesting animal."
+
+Lily smiled too. She said, "Thank you, dad. You are very smart. I want to be like you when I grow up. I want to study animals and know everything about them."
+
+Her dad hugged her. He said, "You are very smart too, Lily. You can be anything you want when you grow up. I'm very proud of you."
+
+They sat together and watched the lion. They hoped he would roar soon. They loved animals very much.
+Lila and Sam were at the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish of different colors and shapes. They wanted to see more.
+
+"Can we go to the reef, Mom?" Lila asked. "It is where the fish live."
+
+Mom nodded. "Yes, we can. But we have to be careful. The reef is sharp and hard. It can hurt you if you touch it."
+
+Mom and Dad put on masks and fins. They gave Lila and Sam small ones too. They held their hands and swam to the reef. It was not far from the shore.
+
+Lila and Sam were amazed by the reef. It was like a big gray rock with holes and bumps. But it was also alive. They saw corals and seaweeds and anemones. They saw fish of all colors and sizes. Some were shy and hid. Some were curious and came close.
+
+"Look, Sam!" Lila pointed to a big fish. It was gray with black spots. It had a long nose and a big mouth. It was a shark.
+
+Sam was scared. He did not like sharks. He thought they were mean and hungry. He wanted to go back.
+
+"Mom, Dad, shark!" he cried.
+
+Mom and Dad heard him. They saw the shark too. They were not afraid. They knew the shark was not dangerous. It was a nurse shark. It did not eat people. It ate small fish and crabs.
+
+They tried to calm Sam down. They told him the shark was friendly. They told him to look at its eyes. They were small and sleepy. They told him to look at its mouth. It was open and smiling.
+
+They swam closer to the shark. They saw it was resting on the reef. It did not move. It did not mind them.
+
+Mom reached out her hand. She touched the shark gently. She rubbed its back. It felt smooth and rough. The shark did not mind. It liked the rub.
+
+"Can I rub it too, Mom?" Lila asked.
+
+Mom nodded. She took Lila's hand. She helped her rub the shark. Lila smiled. She liked the rub too.
+
+Sam saw them. He saw they were not scared. He saw the shark was not mean. He felt curious. He wanted to try.
+
+"Can I rub it too, Dad?" he asked.
+
+Dad nodded. He took Sam's hand. He helped him rub the shark. Sam smiled. He liked the rub too.
+
+They all rubbed the shark. The shark liked them. It gave them a big smile. They smiled back. They made a new friend.
+Lily was miserable on Wednesday. She had a cold and could not go to playgroup. She missed her friends and her toys. She only wanted to lie on the sofa and watch TV.
+
+Her mom tried to make her feel better. She gave her juice and soup and read her stories. She said, "You need to relax and rest, Lily. Then you will get well soon."
+
+But Lily did not want to relax. She wanted to play and have fun. She was bored and grumpy. She said, "I don't like Wednesday. Wednesday is a bad day."
+
+Then her mom had an idea. She said, "Let's pretend that today is not Wednesday. Let's pretend that today is a special day. A day when we can do anything we want."
+
+Lily was curious. She said, "What can we do?"
+
+Her mom said, "We can make a fort with pillows and blankets. We can dress up in funny clothes. We can sing and dance and draw. We can have a tea party with your teddy bears. We can do anything you like."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "That sounds fun. Let's do it."
+
+So they did. They had a wonderful time together. They forgot about the cold and the playgroup. They laughed and hugged and played. They made Wednesday a special day.
+
+Lily was not miserable anymore. She was happy. She said, "I like Wednesday. Wednesday is a good day."
+Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They can build many things with blocks. They can build houses, cars, towers, and animals. Today, they want to build an ambulance.
+
+"What is an ambulance?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"An ambulance is a big car that helps people who are hurt. It has a loud sound and a bright light. It can go very fast," Ben explains.
+
+"Oh, I see. How do we build an ambulance with blocks?" Lily wonders.
+
+"We need white blocks and red blocks. And some blue blocks for the light. And a yellow block for the sound. And some wheels," Ben says.
+
+They start to build the ambulance with blocks. They put the white blocks together to make the body of the car. They add the red blocks to make the stripes. They put the blue block on top to make the light. They stick the yellow block on the front to make the sound. They attach the wheels to the bottom.
+
+"Look, we made an ambulance!" Lily says proudly.
+
+"It looks great! Let's play with it," Ben says.
+
+They pretend to drive the ambulance around the room. They make the sound and the light with their mouths. They stop at their stuffed animals and pretend to help them.
+
+"Meow, meow, I have a sore paw," says the cat.
+
+"Don't worry, we are here to help. We are the ambulance," Lily says.
+
+She wraps a bandage around the cat's paw. Ben gives the cat a hug.
+
+"There, you are better now. You can come with us in the ambulance," Ben says.
+
+They put the cat in the back of the ambulance. They look for more animals to help.
+
+They have fun playing with their blocks and their ambulance. They are happy and kind. They are good friends.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they saw a big mill near the river. It had a big wheel that turned with the water. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They walked to the mill and opened the door. It was dark and dusty. They saw sacks of flour and machines with belts and gears. They heard a loud noise.
+
+"Hello, who are you?" a voice said. It was the miller, who worked in the mill. He was not happy to see them.
+
+"We are Lila and Ben. We wanted to see the mill," Lila said.
+
+"Well, you should not be here. It is not safe for children. The machines can hurt you. And you can start a fire with the dust. You have to go now," the miller said.
+
+He took them by the hand and led them outside. He was not angry, but worried.
+
+"Sorry, we did not know," Ben said.
+
+"It is okay, but you have to be careful. The mill is not a place to play. It is a place to work. I make flour from the wheat. Do you know what flour is?" the miller said.
+
+"Yes, we do. We use flour to make bread and cake and cookies," Lila said.
+
+"That is right. Flour is good for many things. But you have to be careful with it too. It can make you sneeze and cough. And it can make a big mess," the miller said.
+
+He showed them a broom and a cloth. He asked them to help him clean the mill. They agreed. They swept the floor and wiped the machines. They made the mill look nice and tidy.
+
+"Thank you, Lila and Ben. You are good helpers. Now you know more about the mill. But remember, it is not a place to play. Next time, you can come and visit me, but only with your parents. And I will give you some flour to take home," the miller said.
+
+He gave them a hug and a smile. He walked them to the door and waved goodbye. Lila and Ben waved back. They learned something new and made a new friend. They felt comfortable and happy. They walked back to their home, holding hands.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks. Tom has many blocks. He has red blocks, blue blocks, yellow blocks and green blocks. Mia has only one block. It is purple.
+
+Mia likes purple. She wants more purple blocks. She asks Tom, "Can I have some of your blocks? I want purple blocks."
+
+Tom says, "No, you can't. These are my blocks. I don't have any purple blocks. I have zero purple blocks. You have one purple block. That is enough."
+
+Mia is sad. She says, "Please, Tom. I like purple. Purple is pretty. Can you share some of your blocks with me? I will share my purple block with you. We can make a purple house."
+
+Tom thinks. He likes Mia. He likes to play with her. He says, "Okay, Mia. I will share some of my blocks with you. But I don't want your purple block. I don't like purple. Purple is ugly. You can keep your purple block. I will give you some of my red blocks. We can make a red house."
+
+Mia is happy. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I like red too. Red is bright. We can make a red house. And I will keep my purple block. I will make a purple flower for the red house."
+
+Tom and Mia smile. They play with the blocks. They make a red house and a purple flower. They have fun. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together every Wednesday after school. They had a lot of toys and games, but their favorite thing was to make pretend tea. They had a small table, two cups, a teapot and some water.
+
+One Wednesday, they decided to have a tea party in the garden. They set up their table under a big tree and poured some water into the teapot. Then they sat down and pretended to drink tea.
+
+"Would you like some more tea, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, please, Lily. You are a very good host," Ben said.
+
+They smiled and giggled. They felt very happy and funny.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A big wind came and blew the teapot off the table. The water spilled everywhere and soaked their clothes. They screamed and jumped up.
+
+"Oh no, our tea party is ruined!" Lily cried.
+
+"And we are all wet and cold!" Ben said.
+
+They ran inside the house, looking for their moms. They were very sad and angry. They did not want to play pretend tea anymore. They wished they had played something else on Wednesday.
+One day, Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big, green caterpillar on a leaf. Tom wanted to touch it, but Lily was scared.
+
+"Don't touch it, Tom! It might bite you!" Lily said.
+
+"No, it won't. It is just a caterpillar. Look, it is only an inch long. It is not scary at all." Tom said.
+
+He reached out his hand to touch the caterpillar. But the caterpillar did not like that. It raised its head and opened its mouth. It looked like it had many sharp teeth.
+
+"Rawr!" The caterpillar said.
+
+Tom and Lily were very surprised. They did not know that caterpillars could talk. They jumped back and ran away.
+
+"Did you hear that, Lily? The caterpillar said 'rawr'!" Tom said.
+
+"Maybe it was trying to scare us away. Maybe it was an enormous caterpillar in disguise." Lily said.
+
+They ran to their mom and told her what happened. Their mom smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Don't worry, my dears. It was just a caterpillar. It can't hurt you. It was probably just trying to reply to you. Maybe it thought you were saying hello." She said.
+
+She took them back to the garden and showed them the caterpillar. It was still on the leaf, but it looked smaller and quieter.
+
+"See? It is just a caterpillar. It is not enormous or scary. It is just a little creature that likes to eat leaves. Maybe you can say sorry to it and be friends." She said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry for the caterpillar. They said sorry to it and gave it a new leaf. The caterpillar nodded and smiled.
+
+"Thank you." The caterpillar said.
+
+Tom and Lily were happy. They made a new friend. They learned that caterpillars can talk, but they are not mean. They are just different.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big dog with black fur and a loud bark. The dog ran towards them and jumped on them. Tom and Lily were frightened and cried.
+
+"Mom, help us! The dog is scary!" Lily shouted.
+
+Mom came quickly and hugged them. She looked at the dog and saw a tag on its collar. It said "Rex, I am friendly, please pet me".
+
+"Look, kids, this dog is not mean. He just wants to play with you. He is friendly, see?" Mom said. She petted the dog and smiled.
+
+The dog wagged its tail and licked Mom's face. He looked at Tom and Lily with big eyes.
+
+"Do you want to pet him too? He won't hurt you, I promise." Mom asked.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They were still scared, but they wanted to be brave. They nodded slowly and reached out their hands. The dog sniffed them and licked them too. He was soft and warm.
+
+"Good job, kids! You are very brave. Do you like the dog now?" Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded again and smiled. They liked the dog now. He was friendly and fun.
+
+"Can we play with him some more, Mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, but only if his owner says it's okay. Let's go find him and ask." Mom said.
+
+They followed the dog to a bench where a man was sitting. He had a bag of cookies in his hand.
+
+"Hello, I'm sorry if my dog scared you. He loves to play with kids. He's very gentle." The man said.
+
+"That's okay, we were frightened at first, but now we like him. He's very friendly. Can we play with him some more?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, he would love that. And you can have some cookies too, if you want. They are his favorite." The man said.
+
+He gave them some cookies and they shared them with the dog. They played and laughed together. They had a lot of fun. They made a new friend.
+One day, Ben and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and rocks. They had a big bucket to put their finds in.
+
+Ben saw something shiny in the dirt. He used his hands to dig it out. It was a hammer! He was very happy. He showed it to Lily and said, "Look, I found a hammer!"
+
+Lily was curious. She asked, "What is a hammer for?"
+
+Ben was ignorant. He did not know what a hammer was for. He said, "I don't know. Maybe it is for hitting things."
+
+He swung the hammer in the air and hit a flower. The flower broke and fell to the ground. Lily was sad. She liked the flower. She said, "No, Ben, that is not what a hammer is for. You are hurting the flower."
+
+Ben did not listen. He swung the hammer again and hit a birdhouse. The birdhouse cracked and fell to the ground. A bird flew out and chirped angrily. Lily was mad. She liked the birdhouse. She said, "Stop, Ben, stop! That is not what a hammer is for. You are breaking the birdhouse."
+
+Ben did not care. He swung the hammer one more time and hit a window. The window shattered and made a loud noise. Ben and Lily were scared. They heard their mom yell, "What was that?"
+
+They dropped the hammer and ran to the house. They did not want to get in trouble. They hoped their mom would not discover what they had done. They learned that a hammer was not a toy. They were sorry for being ignorant.
+Sara liked to write in her diary every day. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams and her feelings. She kept her diary under her pillow, so no one could read it. She thought she was very clever.
+
+One day, Sara came back from school and wanted to write in her diary. But when she looked under her pillow, her diary was gone. She searched her bed, her closet, her drawers, but she could not find it. She felt sad and angry. Who took her diary?
+
+She went downstairs and saw her brother Tom playing with his cars. She asked him, "Tom, did you take my diary?"
+
+Tom looked at her and smiled. He said, "Yes, I did. I wanted to see what you write. You write funny things. I hid your diary in the kitchen."
+
+Sara was very mad. She said, "Tom, that is not nice. That is my diary. You should not read it. Give it back to me now!"
+
+Tom said, "No, I will not. I like your diary. It is mine now. You can not have it."
+
+Sara thought for a moment. She had an idea. She said, "Okay, Tom, you can keep my diary. But can I play with your cars? They look fun."
+
+Tom said, "Sure, you can play with my cars. But do not break them. They are mine."
+
+Sara took Tom's cars and ran to her room. She locked the door. She opened the window and threw the cars outside. She watched them disappear in the grass. She said, "Now you can not have your cars. They are gone. That is what you get for taking my diary."
+
+Tom heard Sara and ran to her door. He banged on it and shouted, "Sara, what did you do? Where are my cars? Give them back to me!"
+
+Sara said, "No, I will not. They are gone. You can not have them. And I will not give you my diary. It is mine. You should not have taken it."
+
+Tom cried and said, "Sara, please, I am sorry. I was wrong. I will give you your diary. Please give me my cars. I love my cars."
+
+Sara said, "Okay, Tom, I will give you your cars. But you have to promise me that you will never take my diary again. And you have to say sorry to me."
+
+Tom said, "I promise, Sara. I will never take your diary again. And I am sorry. I love you, Sara."
+
+Sara said, "I love you too, Tom. But you have to be nice to me. And you have to be clever. Do not take things that are not yours."
+
+She opened the door and gave Tom his cars. Tom gave her her diary. They hugged and said sorry to each other. They learned their lesson. They played together and shared their toys. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+Then they saw a boy walking by. He looked very cold and sad. He had no coat, no hat, no scarf. He had only a thin shirt and pants. He shivered and sniffed.
+
+"Who is he?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"I don't know. He is new here. He is poor," Tom said.
+
+"Let's say hello to him," Lily said. She ran to the boy and smiled. "Hi, I'm Lily. This is Tom. What's your name?"
+
+The boy looked at her with big eyes. He was shy and scared. He whispered, "I'm Ben."
+
+"Ben, do you want to play with us?" Lily asked. "We made a snowman. He is very nice."
+
+Ben nodded slowly. He wanted to play, but he was too cold.
+
+"Ben, you need a coat," Tom said. He took off his coat and gave it to Ben. "Here, you can wear this. It's warm and cozy."
+
+Ben was surprised and grateful. He put on the coat and smiled. He felt warmer and happier.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are very kind," he said.
+
+"You're welcome, Ben. You are our friend," Tom said.
+
+Lily hugged Ben and said, "Yes, you are our friend. Come on, let's play with the snowman. He will welcome you too."
+
+They ran to the snowman and played together. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the cold and the sadness. They were happy.
+Lily was a big girl now. She had a new bed in her room, not a crib like a baby. She liked her bed, but sometimes she missed her crib. It was cozy and safe, and had a mobile with stars and moons that played music.
+
+One night, Lily had a bad dream. She woke up and felt scared. She wanted to go to her crib, but it was in the basement with the old toys. She got out of her bed and tiptoed to the door. She opened it and saw the dark stairs. She was afraid of the dark, but she wanted her crib.
+
+She went down the stairs, holding the railing tight. She heard noises in the basement, like bumps and squeaks. She was afraid of the noises, but she wanted her crib. She reached the bottom of the stairs and saw a big shadow. It was a monster, with big teeth and claws. It saw Lily and growled.
+
+Lily was very scared. She wanted to run back to her bed, but she saw her crib behind the monster. She wanted her crib. She ran past the monster, ignoring its roar. She jumped into her crib and pulled the blanket over her head. She felt cozy and safe, and heard the music of the stars and moons.
+
+The monster was angry. It wanted to eat Lily, but it could not reach her in the crib. It tried to knock over the crib, but it was too heavy. It tried to bite the bars, but they were too hard. It tried to scare Lily, but she ignored it. She was happy in her crib.
+
+The monster gave up. It went back to the corner of the basement, where it lived with the old toys. It was sad and lonely. It wished it had a crib, too.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big blue truck. The truck has a picture of a cow and a word: butter.
+
+"Look, Anna, butter!" Ben says. "I like butter on my bread. Do you?"
+
+"Yes, I do," Anna says. "Butter is yummy. Do you think the truck has butter inside?"
+
+"Maybe. Let's go and see," Ben says. He runs to the truck. Anna follows him.
+
+They reach the truck. The door is open. They see many boxes inside. They climb into the truck.
+
+"Wow, so much butter!" Ben says. He opens a box. He takes out a stick of butter. He bites it.
+
+"Yuck!" he says. "This is not butter. This is soap!"
+
+Anna laughs. She opens another box. She takes out a jar. She opens it.
+
+"Maybe this is butter," she says. She dips her finger in the jar. She licks it.
+
+"Ow!" she says. "This is not butter. This is hot sauce!"
+
+Ben laughs. He sees another box. He opens it.
+
+"Maybe this is butter," he says. He takes out a can. He opens it.
+
+"Look, Anna, butter!" he says. He holds the can up.
+
+But the can is not butter. The can is paint. Blue paint. The paint sprays out of the can. It hits Ben in the face. It hits Anna in the face. It hits the truck. It makes a big mess.
+
+"Help!" Ben and Anna cry. "We are blue!"
+
+They hear a loud voice. It is the driver of the truck. He is angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids! What are you doing in my truck? You ruined my paint! You ruined my soap! You ruined my hot sauce! Get out of here!"
+
+He grabs Ben and Anna. He throws them out of the truck. He drives away.
+
+Ben and Anna are sad. They are blue. They are spicy. They are soapy. They do not have butter. They do not have fun. They go home. They cry.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a doll, a car and a teddy bear. They put their toys in a big sack when they wanted to go on the slide or the swings.
+
+One day, a big dog came to the park. He saw the sack and thought it was fun. He ran to the sack and grabbed it with his teeth. He shook the sack and made the toys fly out. He ran away with the sack.
+
+Tom and Mia saw the dog and shouted. "Stop! Stop! That is our sack! Give it back!" But the dog did not listen. He was too happy with his new toy.
+
+Tom and Mia ran after the dog, but he was too fast. They lost sight of him and the sack. They felt sad and angry. They had no toys to play with.
+
+They went to look for the dog and the sack. They asked other people in the park if they had seen them, but no one had. They looked behind the trees, under the benches, in the bushes, but they could not find them. The dog and the sack had disappeared.
+
+Tom and Mia sat on the grass and cried. They wished they had been more careful with their sack. They wished they had not left it alone. They wished they had their toys back.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their cat, Max. Max is furry and soft. He likes to sleep on Lily's bed and chase Ben's ball.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben want to make lunch for their mom. They find a menu in the kitchen. It has pictures of food. They point to what they want to make. They want to make soup and salad and cake.
+
+They get a big pot and fill it with water. They get some carrots and potatoes and onions. They chop them with a knife. They are careful not to cut their fingers. They put the vegetables in the pot. They turn on the stove. They wait for the soup to boil.
+
+They get a big bowl and fill it with lettuce and tomatoes and cheese. They toss them with a spoon. They make a dressing with oil and vinegar and salt. They pour it over the salad. They put the salad in the fridge. They wait for the salad to be cold.
+
+They get a cake mix and a pan. They follow the instructions on the box. They crack some eggs and pour some milk and oil. They stir them with a whisk. They pour the batter in the pan. They put the pan in the oven. They wait for the cake to bake.
+
+While they wait, they set the table. They get some plates and forks and spoons and napkins. They get some cups and juice. They make a card for their mom. They write "We love you" and draw some hearts and flowers.
+
+They hear a beep. The cake is ready. They take it out of the oven. They let it cool. They frost it with chocolate and sprinkles. They put it on a plate. They hear a knock. The soup is ready. They turn off the stove. They ladle it into bowls.
+
+They hear a meow. It is Max. He smells the food. He jumps on the table. He wants to taste the soup and the salad and the cake. He springs from one dish to another. He makes a mess. He knocks over the juice. He spills the dressing. He licks the frosting.
+
+Lily and Ben see Max. They are angry. They shout at Max. They chase him off the table. They try to clean the mess. They are sad. They worked hard to make lunch for their mom. They think their mom will be mad.
+
+They hear a key. It is their mom. She comes in the kitchen. She sees Lily and Ben and Max and the food. She smiles. She hugs them. She says "Thank you for making lunch for me. You are so sweet. I don't mind the mess. I love you and I love your lunch. Let's eat together." She gets some new plates and forks and spoons and napkins. She gets some new cups and juice. She serves the soup and the salad and the cake. She reads the card. She says "This is the best menu ever." She kisses them. They eat and laugh and have fun. Max watches from the floor. He is furry and full. He purrs.
+Tommy had a dog named Spot. Spot was big and furry and liked to play. Tommy loved Spot very much and gave him hugs and treats. But one day, Tommy saw something on Spot's fur. It was a flea. A flea is a very small bug that bites and makes dogs itch.
+
+"Look, Mommy, what is that?" Tommy asked, pointing at the flea.
+
+"That is a flea, Tommy. It is not good for Spot. We have to get rid of it," Mommy said.
+
+"How do we get rid of it, Mommy?" Tommy asked.
+
+"We have to show Spot to the vet. The vet is a doctor for animals. He will give Spot some medicine to make the fleas go away," Mommy said.
+
+"Okay, Mommy. Let's go to the vet," Tommy said.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the vet. The vet was a nice man who smiled at Tommy and Spot. He looked at Spot's fur and saw the fleas.
+
+"Spot has fleas, Tommy. They are very small, but they can make him very uncomfortable. I have a special shampoo that will kill the fleas and make Spot feel better," the vet said.
+
+"Can I help, vet?" Tommy asked.
+
+"Sure, Tommy. You can help me wash Spot with the shampoo. It will be fun," the vet said.
+
+Tommy and the vet washed Spot with the shampoo. The shampoo was bubbly and smelled good. Tommy rubbed Spot's fur and saw the fleas fall off. Spot wagged his tail and licked Tommy's face.
+
+"Good boy, Spot. You are flea-free now," the vet said.
+
+"Thank you, vet. You are very nice," Tommy said.
+
+"You are welcome, Tommy. You are a good friend to Spot. He is lucky to have you," the vet said.
+
+Tommy and Mommy took Spot home. Spot was happy and clean. Tommy hugged him and gave him a treat.
+
+"I love you, Spot. You are the best dog ever," Tommy said.
+
+"I love you, Tommy. You are the best boy ever," Spot barked.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun.
+
+But Ben is not healthy. He has a cold. He coughs and sneezes. He feels tired. He wants to go home.
+
+"Anna, I want to go home," he says. "I am tired and sick."
+
+Anna is sad. She wants to play more. She likes the park.
+
+"But Ben, we are having fun," she says. "We can play more. The park is big and nice."
+
+Ben shakes his head. He does not want to play more. He wants to rest.
+
+"Anna, please. I need to go home," he says. "I am not healthy. I need to sleep."
+
+Anna sees that Ben is not happy. She cares about him. She is a good friend.
+
+"OK, Ben. We can go home," she says. "But you have to get healthy soon. I want to play with you again."
+
+Ben smiles. He is glad that Anna understands. He is a good friend too.
+
+They hold hands and walk to their homes. They say goodbye. They hope to see each other soon.
+
+The end.
+Lily liked to balance on one foot. She could do it for a long time. She felt like a bird or a dancer. She liked to show her dad how she could balance. He was bald and had a big smile.
+
+One day, Lily and her dad went to the park. They saw a big slide and a swing. Lily wanted to try them. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She balanced on the top and looked down. She was not scared. She slid down fast and laughed.
+
+Then she ran to the swing. She sat on the seat and asked her dad to push her. He pushed her gently and she swung back and forth. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She was happy.
+
+But then she heard a loud noise. It was thunder. She looked at the sky and saw dark clouds. She was scared. She did not like thunder. She jumped off the swing and ran to her dad. He hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's just a storm. It will pass soon. Let's go home and have some cookies."
+
+Lily nodded and held her dad's hand. They walked to the car and got in. Lily sat on her dad's lap and he buckled them both. She felt safe and warm. She looked at her dad and said, "I love you, dad. You are the best."
+
+He kissed her and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are the best." He started the car and drove home. They listened to the thunder and the rain. They did not mind. They had each other.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. One day, they see a big hill in the park. They want to climb it and see what is on the other side.
+
+They ask their mom if they can go. She says yes, but they have to be careful and stay together. She gives them a snack and a bottle of water. They put them in their backpack and start to walk.
+
+Spot runs ahead of them, barking and wagging his tail. He is very happy. He likes to explore new places. Sara and Ben follow him, holding hands. They see flowers and birds and bugs. They have fun.
+
+They reach the top of the hill. They look around. They see a pond with ducks and frogs. They see a bridge with a sign. They see a big house with a fence. They see a lot of things they have never seen before. They are very excited. They want to discover more.
+
+They run to the bridge. They read the sign. It says: "Do not cross. Danger. Keep out." They do not understand what it means. They think it is silly. They want to cross. They think there is something fun on the other side. They ignore the sign. They cross the bridge.
+
+They hear a loud noise. They see a big splash. They see Spot jump out of the water. He is wet and dirty. He has a fish in his mouth. He looks very proud. He has discovered something.
+
+Sara and Ben laugh. They think Spot is silly. They are happy. They have discovered something too. They hug Spot and give him a snack. They decide to go back to their mom. They have had enough adventure for one day. They have learned a lesson. They have to be careful and listen to signs. They have to be smart, not silly.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their bikes in the park. They liked to ride fast and make circles with their wheels. They saw some big clouds in the sky. They were dark and scary.
+
+"Look, Ben, it will rain soon. We should go home," Lily said.
+
+"But I want to play more. It is fun here," Ben said.
+
+They heard a loud sound. It was thunder. Then they felt some drops on their faces. It was rain. It was cold and wet.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go. The rain will make us sick," Lily said.
+
+They got on their bikes and started to pedal. But the rain was too much. It made the ground slippery and muddy. Ben's bike slipped and fell. He hurt his knee and cried.
+
+"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked.
+
+She got off her bike and ran to him. She saw his knee was bleeding. She took off her scarf and wrapped it around his knee. It was pink and soft.
+
+"Here, this will help. Don't cry, Ben," Lily said.
+
+She helped him get up and gave him a hug. She was generous and kind.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend," Ben said.
+
+They walked with their bikes to their homes. They were wet and dirty, but they were happy. They had each other.
+Anna likes to bake with her mom. They make cookies and cakes and pies. Anna likes to mix the flour and the sugar and the eggs. She likes to roll the dough and cut out shapes. She likes to smell the yummy things in the oven.
+
+One day, Anna's mom says, "Anna, today we are going to bake something special. We are going to bake a yoga cake." Anna is confused. She asks, "What is a yoga cake, mom?" Her mom says, "A yoga cake is a cake that looks like a yoga pose. Do you know what yoga is, Anna?" Anna shakes her head. She does not know what yoga is.

+Her mom says, "Yoga is a way of moving your body and breathing. It helps you feel calm and strong and happy. Look, I can show you some yoga poses." Her mom stands up and bends and stretches and twists. She makes funny shapes with her body. She says, "This is a tree pose. This is a cat pose. This is a bridge pose. Can you try them, Anna?"
+
+Anna tries to copy her mom. She stands on one leg and lifts her arms. She says, "I am a tree." She gets on her hands and knees and arches her back. She says, "I am a cat." She lies on her back and lifts her hips. She says, "I am a bridge." She giggles. She likes yoga. She says, "Yoga is fun, mom."
+
+Her mom says, "Yes, yoga is fun. And so is baking. Come on, let's make our yoga cake. We can use green frosting and sprinkles to decorate it. We can make it look like a yoga pose. Which pose do you want to make, Anna?" Anna thinks for a moment. She says, "I want to make a tree pose. I like trees. They are green and tall and pretty." Her mom says, "Okay, let's make a tree pose cake. I think it will be delicious and beautiful." They go to the kitchen and start to bake. They are happy. They like to bake and do yoga together.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the bathtub. They have many toys and bubbles. They like to build towers with the toys and make funny shapes with the bubbles. They also have a bottle of shampoo that smells like strawberries.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can build a big castle with the shampoo!" Tom says. He squeezes some shampoo on the edge of the tub and makes a wall. Then he adds more shampoo on top and makes a tower. He puts a toy duck on the tower and says, "This is the king of the castle!"
+
+"That's cool, Tom, but I can build something better!" Lily says. She takes the shampoo and makes a big ball. Then she sticks some toys on the ball and makes a face. She puts a toy cat on the ball and says, "This is a furry monster!"
+
+Tom and Lily laugh and admire their creations. They think they are very clever and creative. They decide to make more things with the shampoo and have more fun. They are happy and enjoy their bath time.
+Lily and Ben love to play with their toy penguins. They have many penguins of different colors and sizes. They like to pretend that the penguins are their friends and have adventures with them.
+
+One day, they decide to make a snow fort for their penguins. They use white pillows, blankets and boxes to build a big fort in the living room. They put their penguins inside the fort and make them talk to each other.
+
+"Hello, I am Pippa the pink penguin. Do you like our fort?" Lily makes one penguin say.
+
+"Yes, I do. I am Pete the purple penguin. It is very cozy and warm here." Ben makes another penguin say.
+
+They have fun making their penguins chat and play. But then, they hear their mom calling them.
+
+"Lily and Ben, it is time for lunch. Come to the kitchen, please."
+
+Lily and Ben do not want to stop playing. They want to stay with their penguins.
+
+"Can we play a little more, mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, you have to eat now. You can play later. Be patient, please." Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben sigh. They love their mom, but they love their penguins too. They do not want to leave them alone.
+
+"OK, mom. We are coming. But can we leave our fort here?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, you can. But you have to clean it up after lunch. And be careful not to trip over it." Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They say goodbye to their penguins and promise to come back soon. They put their penguins in a safe place and go to the kitchen. They hope their penguins will be patient too.
+Lily and Ben were playing with clay. They made animals and shapes with their hands. Lily made a cat and Ben made a dog. They put their clay on a tray and left it in the sun to dry.
+
+"Look, our clay is dry now!" Lily said after a while. She picked up her cat and showed it to Ben. "It looks like a real cat, don't you think?"
+
+Ben nodded. He picked up his dog and showed it to Lily. "And my dog looks like a real dog, too. We are very good at making clay animals. This is a success!"
+
+They smiled and hugged each other. They were proud of their work. They decided to show their clay animals to their mom and dad.
+
+But when they got to the house, they saw a big problem. Their little brother, Sam, had found their tray of clay animals and smashed them with his hands. He thought they were fake and wanted to see what was inside.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They ran to Sam and shouted at him.
+
+"Sam, you are very bad! You broke our clay animals! We worked hard to make them and they were dry and nice. Why did you do that?"
+
+Sam looked at them and shrugged. He did not understand why they were so upset. He said, "They are not real animals. They are just clay. Clay is fun to smash. See, I made a ball with your clay. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to play with Sam. They wanted their clay animals back. They cried and told their mom and dad what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were sorry. They said they would buy them more clay and help them make new animals. They said they would also teach Sam not to break other people's things.
+
+Lily and Ben felt a little better. They hoped their new clay animals would be as good as their old ones. They hoped Sam would learn to be nice. They hoped their clay would dry fast.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play soccer. They joined a team with other kids and learned how to kick, pass and score. They had a lot of fun and made many friends.
+
+One day, they had a big game against another team. They played hard and tried their best, but the other team was very good and won the game. Ben and Lily felt sad and wanted to cry. They did not get a trophy like the other team.
+
+Their coach saw them and came to talk to them. He said, "Ben and Lily, you did a great job today. You should be proud of yourselves. You know, winning is not the only thing that matters. What matters is that you have fun, learn new skills and be kind to others. That is what makes you wise."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at their coach and smiled. They realized he was right. They hugged him and thanked him for teaching them soccer. They also said sorry to the other team and congratulated them for winning.
+
+The coach was happy and proud of Ben and Lily. He said, "You know what? I have a surprise for you. I bought you a trophy to show you how much I appreciate you. You are the best players I ever had. You are my wise stars."
+
+Ben and Lily were overjoyed. They received the trophy and held it high. They felt happy and proud. They learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned that being wise is more important than winning.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. Anna had a big hat and a magnifying glass. Ben had a suit and a lock. He said he was the boss of the spies and he had a secret code.
+
+"Anna, come here. I found something," Ben said. He pointed to a box under a tree. It had a lock on it. "Maybe there is a treasure inside. We need to open it."
+
+Anna ran to Ben. She looked at the lock. It had numbers on it. "How do we open it?" she asked.
+
+Ben smiled. He took out a paper from his suit. It had numbers on it. "This is the code. I made it. It is very hard. Only I know it," he said. He started to turn the lock.
+
+Anna watched. She felt curious. She wanted to see what was in the box. She hoped it was something nice. Maybe a toy or a book or a candy.
+
+Ben turned the lock for a long time. He frowned. He looked at the paper. He looked at the lock. He tried again. He could not open it.
+
+"Ben, what is wrong?" Anna asked.
+
+Ben sighed. He looked sad. He said, "I forgot the code. I made it too hard. Now we can never open the box."
+
+Anna felt sorry for Ben. She was compassionate. She did not want him to be sad. She said, "It is okay, Ben. We can still play. Maybe we can find another clue. Or we can make a new code. Or we can ask Mom to help us."
+
+Ben looked at Anna. He smiled. He said, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. You are a good spy. Come on, let's play."
+
+Anna and Ben hugged. They put the box back under the tree. They ran to the garden. They played and laughed. They had fun. They were happy.
+Sam likes to play in the park with his mom and dad. He likes to run and jump and slide and swing. He also likes to watch the animals that live in the park. He sees birds and bugs and rabbits and squirrels.
+
+One day, he sees a very organized squirrel. The squirrel has a big pile of nuts and seeds that he has collected from the trees and the ground. The squirrel puts each nut and seed in a different spot. He makes rows and columns and shapes with them. He looks very happy and proud of his work.
+
+Sam wants to play with the squirrel and his nuts and seeds. He runs towards the pile and reaches out his hand. But the squirrel sees him and makes a loud noise. He pauses and looks at Sam with big eyes. He does not want Sam to touch his nuts and seeds. He thinks Sam wants to take them away.
+
+Sam stops and looks at the squirrel. He does not want to make the squirrel angry or sad. He just wants to be his friend. He says sorry to the squirrel and backs away. He tells his mom and dad what he saw and what he did. They tell him that he did the right thing. They say that the squirrel worked hard to find and organize his food and that he needs it for the winter. They say that Sam can watch the squirrel from a distance and admire his work, but he should not disturb him.
+
+Sam understands and nods. He still likes the squirrel and thinks he is very smart and organized. He decides to make his own pile of leaves and sticks and rocks and flowers. He puts them in different spots and makes rows and columns and shapes with them. He looks very happy and proud of his work. He hopes the squirrel will see him and like him too.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a shiny stone and showed it to Max.
+
+"Look, Max, a shiny stone!" she said.
+
+"Wow, it is shiny!" Max said. "Can I see?"
+
+Lily gave him the stone. He rubbed it with his fingers and held it up to the sun.
+
+"It is like sugar, but hard," he said.
+
+Lily nodded. "Maybe it is a sugar stone. Do you think it is sweet?"
+
+Max licked the stone. He made a face.
+
+"Yuck, it is not sweet. It is sour and bitter," he said.
+
+He gave the stone back to Lily. She licked it too.
+
+"Yuck, you are right. It is not sugar. It is a bad stone," she said.
+
+They threw the stone away and went to look for more bugs. They found a ladybug, a worm, and a spider. They put them in a jar and watched them crawl.
+
+"Look, the ladybug is shiny too," Lily said.
+
+"But it is not a stone. It is a bug. It is alive," Max said.
+
+They decided to keep the ladybug as a pet. They gave it some leaves and water. They named it Shiny.
+
+They took the jar inside and put it on the table. They asked their mom if they could have some sugar.
+
+"Sure, you can have some sugar. But only a little bit. Too much sugar is not good for you," their mom said.
+
+She gave them each a spoonful of sugar. They put it in their mouths and smiled.
+
+"Mmm, this is sweet. This is good sugar," Lily said.
+
+"Yes, this is good sugar. Not like the bad stone," Max said.
+
+They finished their sugar and went to their room. They took Shiny with them. They put the jar on the nightstand and turned off the light.
+
+They cuddled in their beds and felt comfortable. They listened to Shiny's soft clicks.
+
+"Good night, Shiny," Lily said.
+
+"Good night, Shiny," Max said.
+
+"Good night, Lily and Max," Shiny said in a tiny voice.
+
+They fell asleep and dreamed of shiny things.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big door in the wall. It was brown and old and had a lock.
+
+"Let's see what's behind the door," Lily said. She tried to pull the handle, but it did not move. "We need a key."
+
+Ben looked around and saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a key. He picked it up and ran to the door. He put the key in the lock and turned it. The door made a click sound and opened.
+
+"Wow!" Lily and Ben said together. They walked through the door and saw a new place. It was a forest with tall trees and green grass. They heard birds and animals and water. It was not like the garden. It was not quiet. It was loud.
+
+They explored the forest and had fun. They saw a deer and a rabbit and a frog. They found a stream and threw stones in it. They laughed and talked.
+
+But then they heard a noise. It was a roar. It was a big and scary roar. It came from behind the trees. Lily and Ben were afraid. They did not know what it was. They ran back to the door. They wanted to go home.
+
+They reached the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. They had left the key inside. They banged on the door and shouted for help. But no one heard them. There was only silence on the other side. They were trapped.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with ducks and fish. They want to go on the pond.
+
+"Let's make a raft!" Sam says. "We can use wood and rope and a big orange sheet."
+
+"Good idea!" Lily says. "But how do we get the wood and rope and sheet?"
+
+Sam thinks. He sees a man with a truck. The truck has wood and rope and sheets. Sam runs to the man.
+
+"Hello, sir. Can we order some wood and rope and a sheet, please?" Sam asks.
+
+The man smiles. He likes children. He gives Sam some wood and rope and a sheet. He does not want money.
+
+"Here you go, kids. Have fun. But be careful on the pond. And don't forget to say thank you."
+
+Sam and Lily say thank you. They take the wood and rope and sheet to the pond. They make a raft. They tie the sheet to a stick. They have a sail. They put the raft on the water. They get on the raft. They sail on the pond. They see the ducks and fish. They are happy. They have a lot of fun.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom at the animal shelter. They loved to feed the dogs and cats and play with them. The staff at the shelter were very kind and taught them how to care for the animals.
+
+One day, they saw a new dog in a cage. He was very big and had gray fur. He looked sad and scared. Tim and Lily wanted to feed him and make him happy. But the staff said no. They said the dog was elderly and sick. He needed special food and medicine. He did not like strangers and might bite.
+
+Tim and Lily felt sorry for the dog. They thought he was lonely and hungry. They waited until the staff were busy and sneaked into the cage. They brought some food and a toy. They tried to pet the dog and talk to him softly.
+
+But the dog did not like them. He growled and barked. He snapped at their hands and tore the toy. He made a big mess in the cage. Tim and Lily were scared and ran away. The staff heard the noise and came to see. They were angry and worried. They scolded Tim and Lily and told them to stay away from the dog. They said they could have been hurt or made the dog worse.
+
+Tim and Lily felt bad. They did not mean to upset the dog or the staff. They just wanted to help. They said they were sorry and hugged their mom. Their mom said she understood, but they had to listen to the staff. They knew what was best for the animals. She said the dog needed a lot of love and patience, but also a lot of space and respect. She said maybe one day, the dog would find a new home with someone who could take care of him.
+
+Tim and Lily nodded and said they would be more careful. They still loved the dog and hoped he would be happy. They went to feed and play with the other animals, who were friendly and fun. They learned a lot from the staff and their mom. They had a good day at the animal shelter.
+Lily was sad. She missed her friend Anna, who moved to a new house far away. She wanted to play with Anna and share her secrets. She felt lonely and cried.
+
+She saw her diary on the desk. It was a gift from Anna. It had a pink cover and a lock. Lily opened it with the key and wrote:
+
+Dear diary,
+
+I miss Anna so much. She was my best friend. We had fun together. We liked the same games and books. Now she is gone and I don't have anyone to talk to. I wish she was here.
+
+Lily closed the diary and hugged it. She felt a little better. She heard a knock on the door. It was her mom.
+
+"Hi, sweetie. What are you doing?" Mom asked.
+
+"I'm writing in my diary. Anna gave it to me," Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled and sat on the bed. She wrapped her arms around Lily and kissed her head.
+
+"I know you miss Anna, honey. It's hard to say goodbye to a friend. But you know what? You can still keep in touch with her. You can call her, or write her a letter, or send her a picture. And maybe one day, you can visit her, or she can visit you. She will always be your friend, no matter where she lives," Mom said.
+
+Lily looked at Mom with wide eyes. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She smiled and nodded.
+
+"Really? Can I do that?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, you can. And you know what else? You can make new friends, too. There are many nice kids in your school and in your neighborhood. You can invite them to play with you, or join them in their activities. You have a lot to offer, Lily. You are kind, smart, and creative. Anyone would be lucky to be your friend," Mom said.
+
+Lily felt happier. She hugged Mom and thanked her.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. You are the best. You always comfort me when I'm sad. I love you," Lily said.
+
+"I love you, too, Lily. You are my sunshine. Now, how about we go downstairs and have some cookies and milk? And maybe we can call Anna later and say hello," Mom said.
+
+Lily agreed. She put her diary in her drawer and locked it. She took Mom's hand and went downstairs. She felt hopeful and excited. She knew she would always have Anna in her heart, and she looked forward to making new friends. She was not sad anymore. She was happy.
+Lila and Ben were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the garden, read books, and make art. But one day, they got sick. They had a fever, a cough, and a sore throat. They felt miserable.
+
+Mom and dad took them to the doctor, who gave them some medicine and told them to rest. He said they had a bad cold and they would get better soon. But Lila and Ben did not like the medicine. It tasted yucky and made them feel sleepy.
+
+"I don't want to take the medicine," Lila said. "It's gross."
+
+"Me neither," Ben said. "It's icky."
+
+"But you have to," mom said. "It will help you heal. If you don't take it, you will suffer more."
+
+"What does suffer mean?" Lila asked.
+
+"It means to feel very bad and sad," mom said. "You don't want that, do you?"
+
+Lila and Ben shook their heads. They did not want to suffer. They wanted to feel good and happy.
+
+"Okay, mom," Lila said. "We will take the medicine."
+
+"Good," mom said. "And you know what? I have a surprise for you. When you get better, we will go on a trip to the east."
+
+"What is the east?" Ben asked.
+
+"It's a place where the sun rises," mom said. "It has beautiful mountains, lakes, and forests. You will love it there."
+
+Lila and Ben smiled. They liked the sound of the east. They hoped they would get better soon. They took the medicine and hugged mom. They felt a little less miserable.
+Lily and Ben were playing with snow in the park. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him a name: Frosty.
+
+"Hello, Frosty!" Lily said. "You are our new friend. We will come back tomorrow and play with you again."
+
+"Yes, we will," Ben said. "You are very dependable. You will not go away like other friends."
+
+But the next day, when Lily and Ben came back to the park, they saw something sad. Frosty was not there anymore. He had melted away. Only his hat, his scarf and his carrot nose were left on the ground.
+
+"Where is Frosty?" Lily cried. "He was our friend. He promised to stay with us."
+
+Ben hugged Lily. He felt sad too. "I'm sorry, Lily. Frosty could not keep his promise. He melted because the sun was too hot. He did not want to leave us. He was a good friend."
+
+Lily and Ben picked up Frosty's hat, scarf and nose. They decided to keep them as a memory of their friend. They went home and took a nap. They dreamed of Frosty and the fun they had with him. They hoped to see him again when it snowed.
+Lily and Ben are going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They pack their bags with clothes, toys and books. They say goodbye to their dog, Spot, and their grandma, who will take care of him.
+
+They get in the car and drive for a long time. They see many things on the road: trees, cows, bridges, trucks. Lily and Ben play games and sing songs. Mom and Dad tell them stories. They stop at a gas station and buy snacks and drinks.
+
+They arrive at a big house near the sea. It is their vacation home. They run inside and choose their rooms. Lily picks a room with a window that faces the water. She can see the waves and the boats. Ben picks a room with a window that faces the hills. He can see the birds and the flowers.
+
+They unpack their bags and put on their swimsuits. They go outside and meet their cousins, Anna and Tom, who are also staying at the vacation home. They hug and say hello. They are very excited to see each other.
+
+"Let's go to the beach!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Tom says.
+
+They grab their towels, buckets and shovels and follow Mom and Dad to the sand. They build castles, dig holes, collect shells and splash in the water. They have a lot of fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, look!" Ben says. He shows her a big starfish he found. "It has five arms and it is red and bumpy."
+
+"Wow, Ben, that is amazing!" Lily says. She shows him a shiny pearl she found. "It is round and smooth and it glows in the sun."
+
+They trade their treasures and put them in their buckets. They smile and hug. They love their vacation. They can't wait to see what else they will find.
+Anna loved to fix things. She had a box of tools that her dad gave her. She liked to fix her toys, her bike, and her dollhouse. She was very good at fixing things.
+
+One night, Anna had a bad dream. She dreamed that her tools were broken and she could not fix anything. She felt very sad and scared. She woke up and cried. Her mom came to her room and hugged her.
+
+"It's okay, Anna. It was just a nightmare. A nightmare is a bad dream that is not real. You can fix anything you want in the morning. Do you want some milk and cookies?" her mom asked.
+
+Anna nodded. She liked milk and cookies. They were delicious. Her mom brought her some and they ate together. Anna felt better. She told her mom about her nightmare and her mom said she was very brave.
+
+"Can I sleep with you and dad?" Anna asked.

+Anna smiled. She grabbed her box of tools and followed her mom. She snuggled with her parents and felt safe and happy. She closed her eyes and dreamed of fixing things. She did not have any more nightmares.

+
+One day, Tim and Amy saw a new horse in the stable. It was a chubby brown horse with a white spot on its nose. They ran to their mom and asked her about the horse.
+
+"Mom, who is that horse?" Tim said.
+
+"That's Daisy, she's our new horse. She came from another farm that had too many horses. She's very gentle and friendly, but she's also very hungry. She needs to eat a lot of hay to get strong and healthy," mom said.
+
+"Can we ride her?" Amy said.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. She's still getting used to her new home. Maybe in a few weeks, when she's more comfortable and fit, we can ride her. But you can pet her and talk to her, she likes that," mom said.
+
+Tim and Amy nodded and went to the stable. They found Daisy in her stall and said hello. Daisy nuzzled them with her nose and made a soft sound. They stroked her fur and gave her some carrots. They told her their names and what they liked to do on the farm.
+
+"Daisy, we like to play with the dogs and the cats and the chickens. We also like to ride the other horses, they are very fast and fun. Do you like to run and jump?" Tim said.
+
+"Daisy, we also like to draw and read and sing. We have many books and crayons and songs. Do you like to learn and create?" Amy said.
+
+Daisy listened to them and nodded her head. She liked the twins, they were very nice and kind. She felt happy in her new stable. She hoped they would be her friends.

+Sara loved flowers. She liked to smell them, touch them, and look at their colors. She had a book with pictures of many flowers. She kept the book on her shelf in her room.
+
+One day, her mom took her to a big store. There were many things in the store. Some were toys, some were clothes, some were books. Sara saw a corner with many flowers. They were in pots and vases. They were very pretty.
+
+"Mom, can we buy a flower?" Sara asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. You can choose one flower. But not a very expensive one. Some flowers are very expensive. They cost a lot of money," her mom said.
+
+Sara looked at the flowers. She saw a big red flower. It had many petals. It looked like a star. She liked it very much.
+
+"Mom, I want this one. It is so beautiful. It looks like a star," Sara said.
+
+Her mom looked at the price tag. It said $20. That was a lot of money for a flower.
+
+"Oh, Sara. That flower is very expensive. It is too much for us. Can you choose another one? Maybe a smaller one, or a different color?" her mom said.
+
+Sara felt sad. She really wanted the star flower. She did not like the other flowers. They were not as pretty.
+
+"But mom, I love this flower. It is the best flower. Please, please, can we buy it?" Sara begged.
+
+Her mom sighed. She wanted to make Sara happy. But she also had to be careful with money. She had an idea.
+
+"How about this, Sara. We can buy a seed. A seed is a small thing that can grow into a flower. We can plant it in a pot at home. And we can water it and take care of it. And one day, it will bloom. It will become a flower. Maybe even a star flower. What do you think?" her mom said.
+
+Sara thought about it. She liked the idea of growing a flower. She liked the idea of watching it bloom. She liked the idea of having a star flower.
+
+"OK, mom. Let's buy a seed. And let's plant it in a pot. And let's water it and take care of it. And let's wait for it to bloom. And let's hope it is a star flower," Sara said.
+
+Her mom smiled. She hugged Sara. She bought a seed for $1. They went home. They planted the seed in a pot. They put the pot on the shelf in Sara's room. They watered it and took care of it. And they waited for it to bloom. And they hoped it was a star flower.
+Lily likes to help her mom in the kitchen. She wants to be a good cook like her mom. She always wears her apron when she helps. Her apron is pink and has flowers on it. She thinks it is very pretty.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom are making cookies. They need to get some flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Lily gets the flour and the sugar from the cupboard. She puts them on the table. Then she gets the butter and the eggs from the fridge. She puts them on the table too.
+
+But Lily is not careful. She bumps into the table and makes the flour and the sugar fall. They make a big mess on the floor. Lily is sad. She thinks her mom will be mad at her. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I made a mess."
+
+Her mom is not mad. She smiles and hugs Lily. She says, "It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. We can clean it up together. You are not a bad helper. You are a silly helper. And I love you very much."

+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big fridge box. They cut out a door and a window and pretended it was their house.
+
+One day, they had a fight over who could play with the fridge box. Lily wanted to be a princess and Max wanted to be a pirate. They both pulled and pushed the box, trying to get it for themselves.
+
+"Let go, Lily! It's my turn to be a pirate!" Max shouted.
+
+"No, Max! I want to be a princess! You had it yesterday!" Lily yelled.
+
+They pulled so hard that the box ripped in half. The twins fell down and looked at the broken box. They felt sad and sorry.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry, Lily/Max. I didn't mean to break the box. Can we share it?"
+
+They hugged and nodded. They decided to use the two halves of the box to make a castle and a ship. They put them next to each other and played together. They were happy again.
+
+They learned that it was not fun to separate, but to share. They also learned that it was not fun to play in the dark, but to play in the light. They asked their mom to help them tape the window back on the box, so they could see each other better. They said thank you to their mom and to each other. They had a lot of fun.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys in their room. But today, they are tired. They want to sleep.
+
+"Ben, I am tired. Let's go to bed," Sara says.
+
+"OK, Sara. But first, I want to touch my teddy bear. He is soft and warm," Ben says.
+
+Sara nods. She also has a teddy bear. She loves her teddy bear. She picks it up and hugs it.
+
+They walk to their bed. It is big and cozy. They have blue sheets and yellow pillows. They climb on the bed and put their teddy bears next to them.
+
+"Good night, Sara. Good night, teddy bear," Ben says.
+
+"Good night, Ben. Good night, teddy bear," Sara says.
+
+They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of happy things. They are not tired anymore. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a man sitting on a bench. He has a wallet in his hand. He looks sad.
+
+"Hello, why are you sad?" Tom asks the man.
+
+"I lost my job. I have no money. I don't know what to do," the man says.
+
+"That's bad. We are sorry," Lily says.
+
+Tom and Lily think for a moment. They have an idea.
+
+"Wait here. We will be back soon," Tom says.
+
+They run to the ice cream truck. They use their pocket money to buy two ice creams. One for them and one for the man.
+
+They run back to the bench. They give the ice cream to the man.
+
+"Here, this is for you. We hope you feel better," Lily says.
+
+The man smiles. He takes the ice cream. He thanks Tom and Lily.
+
+"You are very kind. You made my day. Thank you," he says.
+
+Tom and Lily smile too. They stand next to the man. They eat their ice creams together. They talk and laugh.
+
+The man feels happier. He puts his wallet in his pocket. He has new friends.
+Lila liked to play on the beach with her big brother Sam. Sam was good at surf. He had a big board that he took to the water. He could stand on it and ride the waves. Lila wanted to try surf too, but she was shy. She was afraid of the water and the big waves.
+
+One day, Sam said to Lila, "Come on, sis, I will teach you how to surf. It is fun and easy. You just need a small board and a lot of courage." He gave Lila a small board that he found on the sand. It was pink and had a flower on it. Lila liked the board, but she was still shy.
+
+Sam took Lila by the hand and led her to the water. He said, "Don't be shy, sis, the water is nice and warm. You just need to throw the board in the water and jump on it. Then you need to paddle with your arms and wait for a wave. When you see a wave, you need to stand up and balance on the board. Then you will surf like me."
+
+Lila was scared, but she wanted to make Sam happy. She threw the board in the water and jumped on it. She paddled with her arms and waited for a wave. She saw a wave coming and tried to stand up. But she lost her balance and fell in the water. She felt the water in her nose and mouth and started to cry.
+
+Sam saw Lila crying and swam to her. He said, "Don't cry, sis, you did great. Surf is hard at first, but you will get better. You just need to try again and again. I am proud of you for being brave and not shy. Come on, let's go back to the shore and have some ice cream. You deserve it." He hugged Lila and helped her back to the shore. Lila smiled and said, "Thank you, Sam, you are the best brother. I love you and I love surf."
+Tom and Lily were going to camp with their mom and dad. They were very happy. They liked to sleep in a big tent and play outside. They brought some things to decorate their tent. They had stickers, ribbons, and stars.
+
+One day, they found a big tree near their tent. It had many branches and leaves. Tom and Lily thought it would be fun to decorate the tree too. They took some of their stickers, ribbons, and stars and put them on the tree. They made the tree look very pretty.
+
+But mom and dad were not happy. They saw what Tom and Lily did. They said, "You should not decorate the tree. The tree is not yours. The tree belongs to the forest. You should respect nature and leave it alone. You should take off the stickers, ribbons, and stars and put them back in your tent."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry. They did not know they did something bad. They said, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We just wanted to make the tree look pretty. We did not mean to hurt the tree or the forest. We will take off the stickers, ribbons, and stars and put them back in our tent."
+
+Mom and dad hugged Tom and Lily. They said, "We know you did not mean to do something bad. We love you. But you should always ask before you decorate something that is not yours. You should also learn to appreciate the beauty of nature as it is. The tree is already pretty without the stickers, ribbons, and stars. Can you see how it changes with the seasons, the sun, and the wind?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, we can see. The tree is very pretty. We are sorry, tree. We will not decorate you again. We will just look at you and enjoy you." They took off the stickers, ribbons, and stars and put them back in their tent. They said goodbye to the tree and thanked it for giving them shade and air. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect nature and to be careful with their decorations.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big dog with a long tail and brown fur. The dog was running and barking. Lily and Tom liked dogs, so they ran after the dog.
+
+"Wait, kids, don't go too far!" their mom called.
+
+But Lily and Tom did not listen. They wanted to pet the dog and give it a hug. The dog saw them and stopped. It looked at them with big eyes and showed its teeth.
+
+"Hi, doggy, we are Lily and Tom. Can we be your friends?" Lily asked.
+
+The dog did not answer. It growled and snapped at Lily and Tom. It did not want to be their friend. It wanted to bite them.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily and Tom cried. The dog bit their hands and legs. It hurt a lot. They were scared and sad.
+
+Their mom heard their cries and ran to them. She saw the dog and the bites. She was angry and scared too. She shouted at the dog and kicked it away. She picked up Lily and Tom and hugged them.
+
+"Are you okay, my babies? I'm so sorry. That was a bad dog. A stranger dog. It should not have bitten you. Let's go home and clean your wounds." she said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They were still crying. They did not like the dog anymore. They wanted to go home and be safe.
+
+Their mom took them home and washed their bites. She put some cream and bandages on them. She gave them some juice and cookies. She kissed them and told them she loved them.
+
+"Mom, why did the dog bite us? We just wanted to be nice to it." Lily asked.
+
+"Some dogs are not nice, Lily. They are afraid of people they don't know. They think they are in danger. They bite to protect themselves. You should never go near a stranger dog. You should always ask the owner first if you can pet it. And you should always listen to me when I tell you to be careful." their mom explained.
+
+"I understand, mom. I'm sorry I didn't listen. I won't do it again." Lily said.
+
+"Me too, mom. I'm sorry. I love you." Tom said.
+
+"I love you too, my sweeties. You are very brave. Now, do you want some soup for dinner? It's not spicy. It's yummy." their mom said.
+
+"Yes, please, mom. We want some soup. And some more hugs." Lily and Tom said.
+
+They smiled and hugged their mom. They felt better. They learned a lesson. They ate their soup and went to bed. They dreamed of nice dogs and happy days.
+Lily was a princess who liked to play in the mud. She made mud pies, mud castles and mud animals. She did not care if her dress, her hair and her shoes got dirty. She had fun.
+
+But her mother, the queen, did not like it. She wanted Lily to be clean and neat. She wanted Lily to wear nice clothes, comb her hair and wear shiny shoes. She wanted Lily to act like a princess.
+
+One day, the queen said to Lily, "Lily, you have to stop playing in the mud. Today, a prince is coming to visit us. He is very handsome and kind. He might want to marry you when you grow up. You have to look pretty and polite for him."
+
+Lily did not want to stop playing in the mud. She did not want to marry a prince. She wanted to have fun. She said to her mother, "No, I don't want to look pretty and polite. I want to look dirty and happy. I don't want to marry a prince. I want to marry a mud pie."
+
+The queen was angry and sad. She said to Lily, "Lily, you are being silly and rude. You have to do as I say. You have to go to your room and take a bath. You have to wear a new dress and a tiara. You have to smile and talk to the prince. You have to be a good princess."
+
+Lily did not want to do as her mother said. She wanted to do as she liked. She said to her mother, "No, I don't want to be a good princess. I want to be a bad princess. I want to stay in the mud and play. I want to wear a mud dress and a mud tiara. I want to frown and grunt at the prince. I want to be a mud princess."
+
+The queen was very angry and very sad. She said to Lily, "Lily, you are being very naughty and very mean. You have to go to your room and stay there. You have to think about what you have done. You have to say sorry to me and to the prince. You have to be a sorry princess."
+
+Lily did not want to go to her room and stay there. She did not want to think about what she had done. She did not want to say sorry to her mother and to the prince. She did not want to be a sorry princess. She wanted to be a mud princess.
+
+But she had no choice. Her mother took her by the hand and dragged her to her room. She locked the door and left her alone. Lily was very angry and very sad. She sat on her bed and sighed. She wished she could go back to the mud and play. She wished she could be a mud princess.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big orange pumpkin growing on a vine. They ran to it and touched it with their hands.
+
+"Wow, look at this pumpkin!" Tim said. "It is so big and round!"
+
+Lily nodded. "Yes, it is. Do you think we can make a face on it?"
+
+Tim smiled. "That would be fun! Let's ask Mom if we can."
+
+They ran to the house and found Mom in the kitchen. They told her about the pumpkin and asked if they could carve it.
+
+Mom looked at them and smiled. "Sure, you can. But first, you have to wash your hands and get a knife and a spoon. And be careful, okay?"
+
+Tim and Lily said okay and did what Mom said. Then they went back to the garden with the tools. They stared at the pumpkin and thought about what kind of face they wanted to make.
+
+"I want to make a happy face," Lily said. "With a big smile and two eyes."
+
+"I want to make a scary face," Tim said. "With a frown and a nose and teeth."
+
+They agreed to make one face on each side of the pumpkin. They cut off the top and scooped out the seeds and the pulp. Then they carved the faces with the knife. They worked hard and had fun.
+
+When they were done, they showed Mom their pumpkin. Mom was proud of them and said they did a great job.
+
+"Look, Mom, this is our pumpkin!" Tim and Lily said. "It has two faces, one happy and one scary!"
+
+Mom nodded. "Yes, it does. It is a very special pumpkin. Not an ordinary pumpkin at all. You can put it on the porch and light a candle inside. It will look beautiful at night."
+
+Tim and Lily were happy. They thanked Mom and hugged her. Then they put their pumpkin on the porch and waited for the night to come. They couldn't wait to see their pumpkin glow.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys. They liked to dig holes and bury their toys. Then they would pretend to be pirates and look for treasure.
+
+"Look, I buried my car here," Tom said, pointing to a mound of dirt. "Can you find it?"
+
+Lily nodded and started to dig with her hands. She felt something hard and pulled it out. It was not Tom's car. It was a shoe.
+
+"Whose shoe is this?" Lily asked, holding it up.
+
+Tom looked at it and frowned. "It's Dad's shoe. He left it here yesterday. He was looking for it this morning. He was very angry."
+
+Lily giggled. "He is so stupid. He forgot his shoe."
+
+Tom nodded. "He is. Let's bury it again. Maybe he will never find it."
+
+They dug a deeper hole and put the shoe in it. Then they covered it with dirt and grass. They patted the ground with their hands and their heels.
+
+"There. Now it's hidden," Tom said, smiling.
+
+Lily smiled too. "Yes. Now let's find your car."
+Tommy likes to sing. He sings in the morning, he sings at lunch, he sings at night. He sings loud and happy. He sings about cars and stars and candy bars.
+
+But Tommy's big brother Danny does not like to sing. He is grumpy. He likes to read and draw and play with his dinosaur toys. He does not like noise. He does not like Tommy's singing.
+
+One day, Tommy finds Danny's dinosaur toys. He thinks they are fun. He picks up a green one and a red one. He makes them talk and sing.
+
+"Hello, I am a green dinosaur. I like to eat leaves and sing songs. Do you want to sing with me?" Tommy says in a high voice.
+
+"No, I am a red dinosaur. I like to eat meat and roar loud. I do not want to sing with you. Go away!" Tommy says in a low voice.
+
+Danny hears Tommy playing with his dinosaurs. He gets angry. He runs to his room and snatches the dinosaurs from Tommy's hands.
+
+"Hey, those are mine! Stop playing with them! And stop singing! You are so annoying!" Danny shouts.
+
+Tommy feels sad. He drops the dinosaurs and starts to cry.
+
+"Why are you so grumpy, Danny? Singing is fun. Don't you like fun?" Tommy asks.
+
+Danny looks at Tommy's tears. He feels sorry. He remembers that Tommy is his little brother and he loves him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tommy. I was grumpy because I had a bad day at school. I do like fun, but I don't like singing. Can we play something else?" Danny says.
+
+Tommy wipes his eyes. He smiles.
+
+"Okay, Danny. We can play something else. How about we play with your dinosaurs? But can we make them talk, not roar?" Tommy says.
+
+Danny nods. He gives Tommy a hug.
+
+"Sure, Tommy. We can make them talk. But only if you promise not to sing." Danny says.
+
+Tommy giggles.
+
+"Okay, Danny. I promise. But can I sing later?" Tommy says.
+
+Danny rolls his eyes.
+
+"Maybe. But only if I can read later." Danny says.
+
+They laugh and play with the dinosaurs. They make them talk and have adventures. They forget about singing and roaring. They are happy.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the river with Mom and Dad. The river is big and blue. It makes a loud sound.
+
+"Look, Lila, a boat!" Ben says. He points to a white boat on the river. The boat has a big hose. The hose can spray water.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Lila says. She wants to see the water spray. She runs to the edge of the river. She waves to the boat.
+
+The boat sees Lila. The boat waves back. Then, the boat sprays water at Lila. The water is cold and wet. It makes Lila laugh.
+
+"Ha ha, Lila, you are wet!" Ben says. He runs to Lila. He hugs her. He is wet too.
+
+Mom and Dad come to Lila and Ben. They are happy. They take a picture of Lila and Ben. They say, "You are our original and funny twins. We love you."
+Tom is a little boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a lot of cars, trains, and planes that he zooms around the floor. He also has a teddy bear that he hugs when he sleeps.
+
+One day, Tom's mom tells him that they are going to visit his grandma. Tom likes his grandma, but he does not like to visit her house. Her house is old and dark, and it smells funny. She also has a big dog that barks a lot and scares Tom.
+
+Tom worries about the visit. He does not want to leave his toys behind. He does not want to go in the car for a long time. He does not want to see the dog. He does not want to eat the bitter cookies that grandma makes.
+
+Tom's mom sees that he is sad and tries to cheer him up. She tells him that grandma loves him and wants to see him. She tells him that he can bring his teddy bear with him. She tells him that he can play with some of grandma's toys that she has in a box. She tells him that he can have some sweet candy after the cookies.
+
+Tom feels a little better, but he still worries. He holds his teddy bear tight and gets in the car. He hopes that the visit will be over soon. He hopes that grandma will be nice and the dog will be quiet. He hopes that the cookies will not be too bitter and the candy will be sweet. He hopes that he can go back to his toys soon.
+Anna loved to fold paper. She learned how to make a lily from her big sister. She wanted to make a huge lily for her mom. She found a big sheet of white paper and started to fold it.
+
+"Anna, what are you doing?" her dad asked. He was busy cooking dinner.
+
+"I'm making a lily for mom," Anna said. "She likes lilies. They are pretty and smell good."
+
+"That's very nice of you, Anna," her dad said. "But be careful with the paper. It's not yours. It's from my work. I need it for a report."
+
+Anna nodded. She did not want to make her dad angry. She folded the paper very gently and neatly. She made a beautiful lily. It was huge. It was bigger than her head. She was very proud of it.
+
+She ran to her mom, who was in the living room. She held the lily in front of her. "Mom, look what I made for you!" she said.
+
+Her mom smiled and gasped. She hugged Anna and kissed her cheek. "Oh, Anna, it's wonderful! Thank you so much! You are so clever and sweet!"
+
+Anna was happy. She gave her mom the lily. Her mom put it on the coffee table. It looked like a real flower.
+
+But then, her dad came into the living room. He saw the lily. He saw the paper. He saw the report. He was not happy. He was very angry.
+
+"Anna, what have you done?" he yelled. "This paper was important! I needed it for my work! How could you ruin it like this?"
+
+Anna was scared. She did not mean to ruin the paper. She did not know it was important. She just wanted to make a lily for her mom. She started to cry.
+
+Her mom stood up. She looked at her dad. She looked at the lily. She looked at Anna. She was not angry. She was sad.
+
+"Please, don't shout at her," she said. "She didn't know. She was trying to do something nice. She loves you. She loves me. She loves lilies. Can't you see that?"
+
+Her dad looked at her mom. He looked at the lily. He looked at Anna. He saw that she was crying. He felt sorry. He realized he was wrong.
+
+He walked over to Anna. He knelt down. He hugged her and wiped her tears. "I'm sorry, Anna," he said. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have yelled at you. You did make a beautiful lily. It's very pretty and smells good. Thank you for making it for your mom. I love you."
+
+Anna smiled. She hugged her dad back. She said, "I love you too, dad."
+
+They all sat on the couch. They looked at the lily. They talked and laughed. They were happy.
+Lily liked to spread her skirt and spin around. She felt like a princess in her pink dress. She wanted to show her mommy how pretty she was.
+
+But mommy was busy. She was talking on the phone and typing on the computer. She did not look at Lily. Lily tried to get her attention. She said, "Mommy, mommy, look at me!" She spun faster and faster.
+
+Mommy said, "Not now, Lily. I'm working. Go play with your toys." She sounded annoyed. Lily felt sad. She wanted mommy to be proud of her.
+
+Lily did not give up. She was persistent. She thought, maybe if I spin in front of the computer, mommy will see me. She ran to the desk and spread her skirt again. She did not notice the cup of coffee on the edge.
+
+Lily bumped into the cup and spilled the coffee. It splashed on the computer and the papers. Mommy screamed. She dropped the phone and grabbed a towel. She was angry. She said, "Lily, what have you done? You ruined my work!"
+
+Lily was scared. She did not mean to make a mess. She said, "I'm sorry, mommy. I just wanted you to look at me." She started to cry.
+
+Mommy realized she had been too harsh. She saw Lily's tears and felt sorry. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, too, Lily. I know you wanted to show me your dress. It's very pretty. But you have to be careful around the computer. It's not a toy. It's important for my job."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, mommy. I won't do it again." She smiled. She said, "Can we play together later?"
+
+Mommy smiled back. She said, "Of course, Lily. We can play together after I finish my work. How about we have a tea party with your dolls?"
+
+Lily clapped her hands. She said, "Yes, mommy. That sounds fun. I love you, mommy."
+
+Mommy said, "I love you, too, Lily. You're my princess."
+Anna loves her puppy, Max. Max is brown and soft and likes to play. But Max is also smelly. He likes to roll in the mud and the garbage. Anna's mom does not like that. She says Max needs a bath.
+
+One day, Anna decides to teach Max how to take a bath. She fills a big tub with water and soap. She calls Max and shows him a rubber duck. Max likes the rubber duck. He runs to Anna and tries to grab it. Anna says, "No, Max. First you have to get in the tub."
+
+Max does not want to get in the tub. He thinks the water is cold and scary. He barks and runs away. Anna chases him and says, "Come on, Max. It will be fun. You will be clean and not smelly. Mom will be happy."
+
+Anna catches Max and carries him to the tub. She puts him in the water and rubs him with a sponge. Max does not like it. He splashes and shakes and tries to get out. Anna says, "Stay, Max. Stay. It's almost done."
+
+Anna rinses Max and wraps him in a towel. She dries him and hugs him. She says, "Good boy, Max. Good boy. You did it. You took a bath. You are not smelly anymore. You are shiny and fluffy and sweet."
+
+Max licks Anna's face and wags his tail. He likes the towel and the hug. He likes Anna. He thinks maybe taking a bath is not so bad. He says, "Woof, woof. Thank you, Anna. Thank you. You are a good teacher."
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play outside and look at the sky. Sometimes they see birds and clouds and stars. They also like to hang from the tree in Lily's yard. They pretend they are monkeys and make funny noises.
+
+One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and shiny and has a basket. They wonder who is inside the basket and where they are going. They want to go too. They run to the tree and try to hang higher and higher. They think maybe they can touch the balloon.
+
+But the balloon is too far and the tree is too short. Lily and Ben cannot reach it. They feel sad and stop hanging. They sit on the grass and watch the balloon fly away. They wish they had a balloon of their own.
+
+Then they hear a voice. It is Lily's mom. She is holding a big box. She says she has a surprise for them. She opens the box and takes out two small balloons. They are blue and green and have strings. She gives one to Lily and one to Ben. She says they can play with them and make them fly in the sky.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They thank Lily's mom and hug her. They take their balloons and run to the field. They hold the strings and let the wind blow them. They watch their balloons dance in the sky. They smile and laugh. They think Lily's mom is the best and the most reliable. They are glad they have each other and their balloons. They forget about the big balloon and have fun.
+One day, a foolish boy found a missile in the woods. He did not know what it was, but he thought it looked like a big toy. He wanted to play with it, so he took it home.
+
+He showed the missile to his mom and dad. They were very scared and angry. They told him to put it back where he found it. They said it was not a toy, but a very bad thing that could make a big boom and hurt many people.
+
+But the foolish boy did not listen. He was hungry, and he thought the missile looked like a big candy. He wanted to eat it, so he hid it under his bed. He waited until his mom and dad were busy, and then he sneaked into his room.
+
+He took the missile out and bit it hard. He heard a loud click and saw a red light. He did not know what it meant, but he felt a big pain in his mouth. He started to cry.
+
+His mom and dad heard the noise and ran into his room. They saw the missile and the blood and the tears. They were very sad and sorry. They hugged him and took him to the doctor. They hoped he would be okay. They wished he had listened to them. They wished he had not been so foolish.
+Lila and Ben are playing with paper and scissors. They like to cut shapes and make pictures. Lila cuts a big circle and shows it to Ben.
+
+"Look, I made a sun!" she says.
+
+Ben likes the sun, but he wants to make something else. He takes the circle from Lila and tears it in half.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Lila asks.
+
+"I'm making a moon!" Ben says.
+
+Lila is angry. She does not like that Ben tore her sun. She tries to take the circle back, but Ben holds it tight.
+
+"Give it back!" Lila says.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben says.
+
+They pull and tug on the circle, but it does not fit in their hands. It tears some more and falls to the floor. Now they have four pieces of paper, but no sun or moon.
+
+They look at the paper and then at each other. They feel sad and sorry. They did not mean to ruin their shapes.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lila," Ben says.
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Ben," Lila says.
+
+They hug and make up. They pick up the paper and try to make new shapes. They find that they can make a heart, a star, a flower, and a smiley face. They are happy again. They share their shapes and make a picture together. They learn that it is better to be nice and play together than to tear and fight.
+Lily loved to read big books with many words. She had a dictionary that her mom gave her. She liked to look up new words and learn what they meant. She kept her dictionary on her desk in her room.
+
+One day, she saw a bottle of water on her desk. She was thirsty, so she opened the bottle and drank some water. But she did not close the bottle well. Some water spilled out and wet her dictionary.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried. "My dictionary is wet! What if it gets ruined?"
+
+She ran to get a towel and tried to dry her dictionary. But it was too late. The water had made the dictionary shrink. It was now very small and the words were too tiny to read.
+
+Lily was very sad. She hugged her dictionary and said, "I'm sorry, dictionary. I did not mean to hurt you. You are my best friend."
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came to her room. She saw the wet towel and the small dictionary.
+
+"What happened, Lily?" her mom asked.
+
+Lily told her what happened. She said, "I was careless and spilled water on my dictionary. Now it is small and I can't read it."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I know you love your dictionary. But you can still learn new words. You can use my dictionary or the one in the library. And you can be more careful next time you drink water near your books."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Thank you, mom. I will be more careful. And I will still love my dictionary, even if it is small."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. And remember, the size of your dictionary does not matter. What matters is the size of your curiosity and your love for learning."
+
+The moral value of the story is: Be careful with your belongings and respect the things you love. You can always learn from your mistakes and find new ways to grow.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play outside in his backyard. One day, he found a big boot in the grass. Timmy was very eager to show his mommy the big boot he found. 
+
+He ran inside and displayed the boot on the kitchen table. His mommy was surprised to see such a big boot. Timmy was very happy that his mommy liked the boot he found. 
+
+From that day on, Timmy always looked for things to display for his mommy. He loved to make her happy and proud. And whenever he found something new, he would be eager to show it off to her.

+Tweet's friend, Mr. Squirrel, saw the trap too. "Be careful, Tweet! That trap is dangerous!" Mr. Squirrel warned. 
+
+But Tweet didn't listen. She flew down to get a closer look. Suddenly, the trap snapped shut and Tweet was stuck. She tried to fly away, but the trap was too strong. 
+
+Mr. Squirrel tried to help, but it was too late. Tweet's fragile wings were broken and she couldn't fly anymore. She had to stay on the ground forever. "I should have listened to you, Mr. Squirrel," Tweet said sadly. "Now I'm stuck here forever."
+Once upon a time, there was a little fish named Fin. Fin loved to swim in the big blue sea with his friends.
+
+One day, Fin and his friends had a meeting to plan a game of tag. But then, a big shark came and scared all of Fin's friends away. Fin was upset and didn't know what to do.
+
+Suddenly, a brave dolphin named Dolly appeared and said, "Don't worry, Fin! I'll help you." Dolly dove into the water and chased the shark away.

+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to drink milk every day. One day, her mom gave her a glass of unusual milk. It tasted different than the milk she usually drank.

+Lily's parents told her that they were celebrating her birthday! They had a big cake and lots of presents for her. Lily was so happy and excited. She blew out the candles on her cake and made a wish. 
+
+After the celebration, Lily went to bed with a full tummy and a big smile on her face. She dreamed of more unusual milk and more fun celebrations in the future.
+Lily was a musician. She liked to play the piano and sing songs. She had a big show today. She wanted to include her friends in the show. She asked them to come and watch.
+
+"Can you come to my show?" she asked Ben and Anna.
+
+"Yes, we can!" they said. "We want to see you play and sing."
+
+Lily was happy. She gave them tickets and told them the time and place.
+
+But Lily was careless. She forgot to practice her songs. She played with her toys and watched TV. She did not look at the clock.
+
+When it was time for the show, Lily was late. She ran to the stage. She saw Ben and Anna in the front row. They waved at her.
+
+"Hello, Lily!" they said. "We are here for your show."
+
+Lily smiled. She sat at the piano. She tried to remember her songs. But she could not. She forgot the words and the notes. She made mistakes. She felt sad and embarrassed.
+
+The audience did not clap. They did not like her show. They left.
+
+Lily cried. She wished she had practiced her songs. She wished she had not been careless.
+
+Ben and Anna came to her. They hugged her.
+
+"We are sorry, Lily," they said. "We know you tried your best. We are still your friends."
+
+Lily felt a little better. She thanked them. She learned a lesson. She decided to practice more and be more careful. She hoped to do a better show next time.
+Mia and Leo were playing with shapes on the floor. They had a box with many shapes: circles, squares, triangles, stars and hearts. Mia liked to make patterns with the shapes. She put a circle next to a square, then a triangle next to a star, then a heart next to a circle. She said, "Look, Leo, I made a pretty pattern!"
+
+Leo was restless. He did not like to make patterns. He liked to build towers with the shapes. He took some shapes from the box and stacked them on top of each other. He said, "Look, Mia, I made a tall tower!"
+
+Mia looked at Leo's tower. She did not think it was pretty. She thought it was wobbly. She said, "Leo, your tower is not good. It will fall down. You should make patterns like me. They are more fun."
+
+Leo did not agree. He thought his tower was good. He thought it was strong. He said, "Mia, your pattern is not fun. It is boring. You should build towers like me. They are more exciting."
+
+Mia and Leo started to argue. They did not want to play with each other. They did not want to share the shapes. They said, "These are my shapes! Go away!"
+
+Then, they heard a loud crash. They turned around and saw that Leo's tower had fallen down. The shapes were scattered all over the floor. Mia and Leo were surprised. They looked at each other and said, "Oh no!"
+
+They realized that they had been silly. They did not need to fight. They could play with the shapes in different ways. They could make patterns and towers and other things. They said, "I'm sorry. Let's be friends again."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They picked up the shapes and put them back in the box. They decided to play something else. They said, "What do you want to do now?"
+Lily was a little bird who liked to sing. She had a big wing and a small wing. The small wing was hurt when she was a baby. She could not fly very well. She wanted to fly with the other birds, but they laughed at her.
+
+One day, she saw a big, shiny thing in the sky. It looked like a bird, but it was not. It made a loud noise. Lily wanted to see it closer. She did not listen to her mama, who told her to stay away. She flew as high as she could with her big wing and her small wing.
+
+The shiny thing saw Lily. It was not a bird, it was a plane. It did not like little birds. It wanted to scare them away. It flew faster and faster towards Lily. Lily was scared. She tried to fly away, but she was too slow. She cried for help.
+
+"Help me, mama! Help me!" she shouted.
+
+But her mama could not hear her. She was too far away. The plane was too loud. The other birds did not help her. They did not like her. They flew away.
+
+The plane came closer and closer to Lily. It had a big, sharp thing in front. It hit Lily with the sharp thing. Lily felt a lot of pain. She fell from the sky. She did not sing anymore. She did not fly anymore. She did not live anymore.

+

+
+She was having fun, but she did not notice that the sun was shining on her box of crayons. The crayons started to get soft and sticky. Some of them broke in half. Some of them melted together. Sara did not see what was happening to her crayons.
+
+She finished her picture and was very proud of it. She wanted to show it to her mom. She picked up her box of crayons and was shocked. Her crayons were not crayons anymore. They were a big mess of colors and wax. They had melted in the sun.
+
+Sara was very sad. She cried and ran to her mom. She showed her mom her picture and her box of crayons. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Sara. Your picture is very pretty, but your crayons are ruined. Next time, don't leave them in the sun. They will melt."
+
+Sara nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. Can I have new crayons, please?" Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Sara. You can have new crayons. But first, let's put your picture on the fridge. It's very fancy." Sara smiled and hugged her mom. She learned a new word and a new lesson. She never left her crayons in the sun again.

+
+"Can we see the nest?" Lily asks. She wants to touch the nest.
+

+
+"Okay, mom. We are polite. We just look and listen," Lily says. She nods.
+
+Ben and Lily look and listen to the birds. They see different colors and shapes. They hear different sounds and tunes. They are happy and curious.
+
+"Mom, how do the birds make the nest?" Ben asks. He wonders how the birds can manage.
+
+"They use their beaks and feet. They find sticks and leaves and other things. They weave them together. They make a cozy and safe place for their eggs and babies," mom says. She smiles.
+
+"Wow, the birds are smart and strong. They can manage a lot," Ben says. He is impressed.
+
+"Yes, they are. And they are also beautiful and musical. They can sing and fly. They are a gift from God," mom says. She hugs Ben and Lily.
+
+Ben and Lily hug mom back. They thank God for the birds and the tree and the park. They enjoy the sunny day and the lovely sight and sound. They are polite and grateful.
+Lily and Sam are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons on the screen. But sometimes they do not behave. They fight over the toys and the screen. They make a lot of noise and mess.

+
+Mom looks at the screen. She sees a juice stain on it. She sees a snack crumb in the plug. She sighs. She says they were not careful. She says they broke the screen. She says they have to say sorry and help her clean.
+
+Lily and Sam feel bad. They say sorry to their mom. They say sorry to the screen. They help her wipe and sweep. They hug their mom. They promise to behave better next time. Mom smiles.

+Tim had a toy plane that he loved. He liked to make it fly in the air and make noises. He pretended he was a pilot and went on adventures. One day, he saw a big hill near his house. He thought it would be fun to fly his plane from the top of the hill.
+
+He ran up the hill with his plane and got ready to throw it. He was very excited. He threw his plane as hard as he could and watched it soar in the sky. He felt happy. But then, he saw something bad. His plane was flying towards a big tree. He hoped it would miss the tree, but it did not. His plane hit the tree and broke into pieces. He felt sad.
+
+He ran down the hill to get his plane. He hoped he could fix it, but it was too broken. He saw a rag on the ground. He thought maybe he could use it to wrap his plane and make it better.

+
+He looked at his plane and his rag. He felt angry. He threw the rag and his plane away. He did not want them anymore. He went back to his house and cried. He wished he had never tried to fly his plane from the hill. He wished he had a new plane. He wished he had a better day. He had a bad ending.

+
+She asked the kids if they wanted to play with her drum. Some of them said yes and some of them said no. The ones who said yes took turns hitting the drum and singing songs. They had fun and laughed. The ones who said no did not like the drum. They said it was too loud and annoying. They did not want to play with Lily.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not understand why some kids did not like her drum. She thought her drum was popular and cool. She did not want to share her drum with them anymore. She took her drum and sticks and ran away.

+
+Her mom saw her and came to her. She asked her what was wrong. Lily told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said she was sorry.

+
+Lily felt better. She smiled and thanked her mom. She decided to give the kids another chance. She picked up her drum and sticks and went back to the park.

+Sara and Tom were very happy to go to the farm with their mom and dad. They wanted to see the cows, the pigs, the chickens and the horses. They packed their bags with clothes, toys and snacks. They got in the car and drove for a long time.
+
+When they got to the farm, it was very dark and cloudy. They heard a loud noise in the sky. It was thunder. Sara and Tom were scared of thunder. They wanted to go inside the house and unpack their bags. But mom and dad said they had to help with the farm work first. They said they had to be flexible and not complain.
+
+Sara and Tom did not like that. They wanted to play with their toys and eat their snacks. They did not want to help with the farm work. They did not want to be flexible. They started to cry and whine. They said they hated the farm and wanted to go home.
+
+Mom and dad were very angry with Sara and Tom. They said they were being selfish and rude. They said they had to learn to appreciate the farm and the animals. They said they had to do their chores or they would get no dinner.
+
+Sara and Tom did not listen to mom and dad. They ran away from the farm and into the woods. They thought they would find a better place to play and have fun. But they did not.

They wished they had unpacked their bags and stayed in the house. They wished they had listened to mom and dad. But it was too late. The storm was too strong and they could not find their way back.

+
+One day, Jill and Tom were playing in the park when they saw the big dog. It was running towards them, barking and wagging its tail. Jill and Tom did not know if the big dog was friendly or mean. They did not want to find out. They ran to the exit of the park, where their mom was waiting for them.
+
+But the big dog was faster than them. It caught up with them and jumped on them. Jill and Tom fell to the ground. They were very afraid. They yelled for their mom to help them. Their mom heard them and ran to them. She saw the big dog on top of them. She was also afraid.
+
+But then, something unusual happened. The big dog licked Jill and Tom's faces. It did not bite them or hurt them. It just wanted to play with them. Jill and Tom realized that the big dog was not mean. It was just lonely. They stopped yelling and started to pet the big dog. The big dog wagged its tail and made happy noises.
+
+Their mom came to them and saw that they were okay. She was relieved and smiled. She asked them if they wanted to keep the big dog as their friend. Jill and Tom nodded. They liked the big dog.

+
+But when he reached the top, he saw another kid waiting there. The other kid was bigger and meaner than Tom. He said, "This is my slide. You can't go on it. Go away or I will push you."
+
+Tom was scared and sad. He did not want to fight or get hurt. He looked around and saw his mom sitting on a bench. He shouted, "Mom, help me!"
+
+His mom heard him and saw the other kid. She got up and ran to the slide. She said to the other kid, "Stop being rude and mean. This slide is for everyone. You have to share and be nice. Let Tom go on the slide or I will tell your mom."
+
+The other kid saw Tom's mom and felt afraid. He knew he did something bad. He said, "Sorry, I won't do it again." He moved away and let Tom go on the slide.
+
+Tom smiled and thanked his mom. He said, "Mom, you are the best. You protect me from the bad kid. You are very fit and strong."
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "You are welcome, Tom. I love you very much. You are very brave and kind." They went on the slide together and had fun.
+Lila and Sam were playing in the snow. They wanted to make an igloo, like the ones they saw in a book. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them in a circle. Then they filled the gaps with more snow. They made a small hole for the door.
+
+"Look, we made an igloo!" Lila said. "It is so cool!"
+
+"Can we go inside?" Sam asked.
+
+"Sure, let's go!" Lila said. They crawled through the hole and entered the igloo.

+
+"Wow, who made this?" Sam wondered.
+
+"I don't know, maybe someone else was here before us," Lila guessed.
+
+"Hello, little ones," a voice said. They turned around and saw a man with a big beard and a warm coat. He smiled at them. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Nick, and this is my igloo. I come here sometimes to rest and read."
+
+"Hi, Nick," Lila and Sam said. They were surprised, but not afraid. Nick seemed nice.
+
+"Did you make this igloo?" Lila asked.
+
+"Yes, I did. I like to make igloos. They are cozy and fun. Do you like it?" Nick asked.
+
+"Yes, we do. It is amazing!" Sam said.
+
+"Thank you. You are very kind. Do you want to share some food and read with me?" Nick offered.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lila and Sam said. They sat on the ice seat with Nick and ate some cookies and drank some hot chocolate. Nick read them a story about a polar bear and a penguin who were friends. They laughed and listened.
+
+Lila and Sam had a wonderful time in the igloo with Nick. They learned a lot about snow and animals and books. They thanked Nick for his hospitality and said goodbye. They crawled out of the igloo and ran back to their house.
+
+They told their mom and dad about their adventure. They said they met a nice man named Nick who lived in an igloo. Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They said they were very lucky and brave. They said they were proud of them.
+
+Lila and Sam went to bed happy and warm. They dreamed of igloos and snow and friends. They hoped to see Nick again someday.

+They run up the hill with their ball. They see a lot of birds and butterflies. They also see a big tree with a swing.
+
+"Can we swing on the swing?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful," their mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben take turns on the swing. They push each other and laugh. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their face.
+
+"I want to swing higher!" Anna says.
+
+"OK, I'll push you harder," Ben says.
+
+He pushes Anna as hard as he can. Anna feels like she is flying. She holds on to the rope and smiles.
+
+"Look at me, mom and dad!" she shouts.
+
+They look at her and smile too.
+
+"Be careful, Anna!" they say.
+
+Anna wants to swing even higher. She thinks she can touch the sky. She lets go of the rope and tries to reach the clouds. She releases the swing and flies in the air.
+
+"Anna, no!" Ben screams.
+
+Anna realizes she made a mistake. She falls down and lands on the grass. She hurts her knee and her elbow. She starts to cry.
+
+"Anna, are you OK?" their mom and dad ask.
+
+They run to her and hug her. They check her for injuries. They see some blood and dirt on her skin.
+
+"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Anna says.
+
+"It's OK, Anna, it was an accident," their mom says.
+
+She wipes her tears and cleans her wounds. She puts a band-aid on her knee and her elbow.
+
+"Does it hurt?" their dad asks.
+
+"A little," Anna says.
+
+He kisses her knee and her elbow. He makes her smile.
+
+"You're very brave, Anna," he says.
+
+"Thank you, dad," Anna says.
+
+She hugs him and her mom. She feels better.
+
+"Can we still play?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, but be more careful," their mom says.
+
+They go back to their ball and play some more. They have fun on the hill. They don't swing too high again. They learn from their mistake. They enjoy the weather and the green.
+Anna loved to swim in the pool with her big brother Tom. He taught her how to dive from the edge and make a big splash. Anna liked to dive like a fish and swim under the water. She always wore her goggles and her pink swimsuit.
+
+One day, Tom had a friend over to play. His name was Ben and he was very rude. He did not say hello to Anna or share his toys. He also made fun of her goggles and her swimsuit. He said they were for babies and he laughed at her. Anna felt sad and angry.
+
+She decided to show Ben that she was not a baby. She waited until he was near the edge of the pool and then she ran and dived right in front of him. She hoped to make him wet and scared. But she did not see that Tom was also diving from the other side. They both dived at the same time and bumped their heads. Ouch!
+
+The result was a big mess. Anna and Tom both cried and held their heads. Ben was wet and shocked. He did not laugh anymore. He said he was sorry and he helped them get out of the pool. He gave them ice packs and towels. He said he was wrong to be rude and he wanted to be their friend. He also said he liked Anna's goggles and swimsuit. He asked if he could try them on.
+
+Anna and Tom felt better and they forgave Ben. They all played together in the pool and had fun. They learned to be polite and careful when they dive. They also learned that sometimes a bump on the head can make a friend.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away, but they always ran after it and brought it back.
+
+One time, the ball rolled too far and went out of the park. It went into the street where there were many cars and buses. Lily and Ben wanted to get their ball, but they knew they had to be careful. They looked for a guard who could help them cross the street.
