Her mom replied, "I locked it in the fridge because you ate too much yesterday." + +Lily felt sad and asked, "Why did you lock it? That's rude." Her mom explained, "I locked it because I don't want you to get a tummy ache from eating too much butter. You need to eat other foods too." Lily understood and promised to eat more fruits and vegetables. From that day on, she learned to eat a balanced diet and enjoyed her butter in moderation. +Once upon a time, there was a little kid named Timmy. Timmy was very weak and often got sick.

He was so happy to see the water and the fish swimming. + +Suddenly, Timmy's mommy and daddy had to go separate ways to find a better path. Timmy didn't want to be alone, but they promised they would come back soon. Timmy sat by the cliff and waited. He watched the birds fly and the clouds move. Finally, his mommy and daddy returned and Timmy was so happy to see them. They continued their hike and had a great adventure together. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play outside with his friends. One day, Timmy's mom asked him to bring a potato from the garden. Timmy was excited to help his mom, so he ran outside to find a potato. + +As he was looking for a potato, he saw a terrible monster hiding behind a tree.

He told them what happened. + +"Sorry, sorry, I did not mean to hit the lion," he said. "I just wanted to try the fruit, but it was sour." + +The other monkeys laughed. They knew the fruit was sour. They did not like it either. They told the monkey to be careful next time. + +"Don't worry, don't worry, the lion will go away soon," they said. "He does not like sour things either. He likes meat and bones." + +They hugged the monkey and made him feel better. They played and sang until the lion left. The monkey learned his lesson. He never picked the sour fruit again. He only ate sweet and juicy fruits. He was happy with his friends. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over who gets what toy.

They make a lot of noise. Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. + +Mom says, "Stop fighting, Tom and Lily! You have to share the boat. Why don't you take turns? You can each play with the boat for five minutes. Then you have to give it to the other one. OK?" + +Tom and Lily do not like this idea. They want the boat all the time. They are grumpy. They say, "No, Mom! We don't want to share!" Mom says, "If you don't share, then no one gets the boat. I will take it away and put it in the closet.

We will take turns. We are sorry for fighting." + +Mom says, "That's good, Tom and Lily. I'm glad you decided to share. Sharing is nice. Sharing is fun. Sharing makes everyone happy.

Mom says, "I love you too, Tom and Lily." She smiles and leaves them to play. + +Tom and Lily play with the boat. They make it go in the water. They make it go fast and slow.

They win. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a big truck and Lily has a doll. Tom likes to make loud noises with his truck and drive it around the floor.

You will hurt my doll!" Lily says, holding her doll close to her chest. + +Tom does not listen. He drives his truck faster and faster, until he hits Lily's doll with his truck.

He takes them out and puts them on the floor. He thinks they are fun. + +But dad does not like it when Sam plays with his pocket. He says, "Sam, do not touch my pocket. It is not a toy.

I want to keep them." + +Dad is not happy. He says, "Sam, you are being naughty. You have to share and be nice. If you do not put them back, I will change your pocket. I will give you a different pocket. A big pocket. A big pocket with nothing inside. How do you like that?" + +Sam does not like that. He does not want a big pocket with nothing inside. He wants his dad's pocket with many things inside. He says, "Sorry, dad. I will put them back. I will not play with your pocket again. I will play with my toys." + +Dad smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sam. That is good. I love you. You can have a hug and a kiss. And maybe, later, we can play with the key, the coin, the pen and the paper together.

Can I try?" Tim asked, reaching for a match. + +"Be careful, Tim. The flame can hurt you if you touch it. It is not harmless like a toy," Sam warned him. + +But Tim did not listen. He wanted to make a flame too. He struck a match and waved it around. He did not see the curtain behind him. The flame touched the curtain and it caught fire. + +"Tim, look out! The curtain is burning!" Sam shouted, dropping his match. "We have to get help!" + +Tim turned around and saw the fire. He was scared. He threw his match away and ran to the door.

They broke the door open and grabbed Tim and Sam. They carried them outside to safety. + +"Are you okay, boys?" Mom asked, hugging them. + +"We are okay, Mom. But we are sorry. We played with matches and made a fire," Tim said, sobbing. + +"That was very dangerous, boys. You could have been hurt or burned the house down. Matches are not toys. You should never play with them," Dad said, sternly. + +"We know, Dad. We were foolish. We will never do it again," Sam said, sadly. + +Mom and Dad were angry, but they were also glad that Tim and Sam were safe. They loved them and wanted to support them. They taught them how to be careful and responsible. They also bought them new toys to play with. Tim and Sam learned their lesson. They never played with matches again. They played with cars and blocks and balls. And they remained best friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. But today it is raining. They are sad. + +Mia has an idea. She says, "Let's act a story with my umbrella!" Tom likes the idea. He says, "OK, what story?" + +Mia thinks for a moment. She says, "How about the story of the lazy cat and the busy mouse?" Tom nods. He says, "I will be the cat. You will be the mouse." + +Mia opens her umbrella. She says, "This is the house of the mouse. The mouse is very busy. She cleans and cooks and works all day." She pretends to sweep and chop and write with the umbrella. + +Tom lies on the sofa. He says, "This is the house of the cat. The cat is very lazy. He sleeps and eats and watches TV all day." He pretends to snore and munch and press buttons with his paws. + +Mia says, "One day, the mouse decides to visit the cat. She knocks on the door of the cat's house." She taps the umbrella on the floor. + +Tom says, "The cat hears the knock. He is curious. He opens the door of his house." He gets up and walks to the umbrella. + +Mia says, "The mouse says, 'Hello, cat. I am your neighbor. I came to see how you are.' The cat says, 'Hello, mouse. I am fine. Thank you for coming.' The mouse says, 'Can I come in?' The cat says, 'Sure, come in.'" She moves the umbrella inside. + +Tom says, "The mouse sees the mess in the cat's house. She is shocked. She says, 'Cat, your house is very dirty. Why don't you clean it?' The cat says, 'I don't like to clean. I like to be lazy.' The mouse says, 'But cleaning is good for you. It makes you healthy and happy.' The cat says, 'I don't care. I like to be lazy.'" He shrugs and yawns. + +Mia says, "The mouse feels sorry for the cat. She says, 'Cat, why don't you play with me? Playing is fun. It makes you active and smart.' The cat says, 'I don't like to play. I like to be lazy.' The mouse says, 'But playing is good for you. It makes you strong and clever.' The cat says, 'I don't care. I like to be lazy.'" He shakes his head and stretches. + +Mia says, "The mouse has an idea. She says, 'Cat, why don't you chase me? Chasing is exciting. It makes you fast and brave.' The cat says, 'I don't like to chase. I like to be lazy.' The mouse says, 'But chasing is good for you. It makes you agile and bold.' The cat says, 'I don't care. I like to be lazy.'" He rolls his eyes and curls up. + +Mia says, "The mouse is angry. She says, 'Cat, you are very boring. You are wasting your life. You are missing out on the fun. You are a lazy cat.' The cat says, 'I don't care. I like to be lazy.' The mouse says, 'Fine. I am leaving. Goodbye, lazy cat.' The cat says, 'Goodbye, busy mouse.'" She closes the umbrella and walks away. + +Tom says, "The cat is alone. He feels lonely. He thinks, 'Maybe the mouse was right. Maybe I should try something new. Maybe I should be more active. Maybe I should chase the mouse.' He gets up and runs after the mouse. He says, 'Wait, mouse. Come back. Let's play. Let's chase.'" He follows Mia. + +Mia says, "The mouse hears the cat. She is surprised. She turns around and sees the cat. She says, 'Cat, you changed your mind. You want to play. You want to chase.' The cat says, 'Yes, mouse. I changed my mind. I want to play. I want to chase.' The mouse says, 'OK, cat. Let's play. Let's chase.'" She runs away. + +Tom says, "The cat and the mouse play. They chase each other. They have fun. They laugh and smile. They become friends. They are happy." He catches Mia and hugs her. + +Mia says, "The end." Tom says, "The end." + +They clap their hands. They are proud of their story. They are not sad anymore. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big dog named Max who was very obedient and friendly. One day, they saw a new sign on the fence next to their house. It said "Beware of the cat". + +"What does 'beware' mean?" asked Lily. + +"It means 'be careful' or 'be scared'," said Ben. "Maybe there is a mean cat who lives there and does not like dogs or children." + +"Let's go and see," said Lily, who was very curious. + +"No, we should not," said Ben, who was more cautious. "We should obey the sign and stay away. Max might get hurt or we might get in trouble." + +But Lily did not listen to Ben. She wanted to see the cat. She climbed over the fence and walked into the neighbor's yard. Ben followed her, because he did not want to leave her alone. + +They looked around and saw a small house with a window. Inside the window, they saw a fluffy white cat sleeping on a pillow. It looked very cute and harmless. + +"See, Ben, there is nothing to beware of," said Lily. "The cat is just sleeping. Maybe we can pet it and make friends with it." + +She walked towards the window and reached out her hand to touch the cat. But as soon as she did, the cat woke up and hissed. It had sharp teeth and claws and did not like strangers. It jumped out of the window and scratched Lily's hand. Lily screamed and ran back to the fence. Ben ran after her and helped her climb over. Max barked and chased the cat away. + +They ran back to their house and told their mom what happened. She cleaned Lily's wound and put a band-aid on it. She also scolded them for disobeying the sign and going into the neighbor's yard. + +"I'm sorry, mom," said Lily. "I did not believe the sign. I thought the cat was nice and wanted to welcome us." + +"Well, you learned your lesson," said mom. "Not all cats are friendly and not all signs are lying. You should be more obedient and careful next time." + +"Yes, mom," said Ben and Lily. They hugged Max and thanked him for protecting them. They decided to play in their own garden from now on and leave the cat alone. +Anna and Ben were going to fly with Mom and Dad to see Grandma. They packed their bags and got in the car. Anna was very happy. She liked planes and Grandma. Ben was not happy. He was scared of planes and new places. He worried a lot. + +At the airport, they checked in their bags and went to the gate. Anna saw many pretty planes and people. She wanted to look at everything. Ben saw many loud noises and crowds. He wanted to hide in Mom's arms. He worried more. + +"Ben, why are you so sad?" Anna asked. "We are going to have fun with Grandma. Planes are cool. They go fast and high. Don't you want to see the clouds and the birds?" + +"No, I don't," Ben said. "Planes are scary. They might fall or crash. I don't want to leave home. I don't know Grandma. What if she is mean or strange?" + +"Ben, you are silly," Anna said. "Planes are safe. Mom and Dad are with us. They will take care of us. Grandma is nice and sweet. She loves us. She has toys and cookies for us. You will like her. Don't worry so much. Worrying makes you miss the good things." + +Anna gave Ben a hug and a smile. Ben felt a little better. He looked at Anna and saw how happy she was. He wanted to be happy too. He decided to try to be brave and curious. He let go of Mom's hand and followed Anna to the window. He saw a big blue plane with a red tail. It looked pretty. He wondered how it worked. He asked Dad some questions. Dad answered and showed him some pictures. Ben felt more interested. He forgot to worry. + +Soon, it was time to board the plane. Anna and Ben held hands and walked with Mom and Dad. They found their seats and buckled up. Anna looked out the window and waved at the ground. Ben looked out the window and saw the sky. He felt a little nervous, but also a little excited. He squeezed Anna's hand and smiled. He was ready to fly. + +Moral: Worrying too much can make you miss the good things in life. Being brave and curious can help you overcome your fears and enjoy new experiences. +Sara wanted to make a cake for her mom's birthday. She saw a fancy cake in a book and thought it looked yummy. She asked her dad to help her, but he was busy with work. Sara decided to try to make the cake by herself. + +She found some eggs, flour, sugar, and butter in the kitchen. She mixed them in a big bowl with a spoon. She poured the batter into a round pan and put it in the oven. She set the timer for 20 minutes and waited. + +She heard a beep and ran to the oven. She opened the door and saw a big mess. The cake had risen too much and spilled over the pan. It was burnt and smelled bad. Sara started to cry. + +Her dad heard her and came to the kitchen. He saw the cake and hugged Sara. He said, "It's okay, sweetie. I'm sorry I couldn't help you. You were very brave to try to make a cake by yourself. But you have to be careful with the oven. It can be very hot and dangerous. Next time, let's make a cake together, okay?" + +Sara nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to make a cake for mom. I wanted to make her happy." + +Her dad smiled and said, "You don't need a fancy cake to make mom happy. She loves you very much. And so do I. How about we make her a card instead? We can draw and write something nice for her." + +Sara liked that idea. She and her dad went to the living room and found some paper, crayons, and stickers. They made a beautiful card for mom. Sara wrote, "Happy birthday, mom. I love you." + +When mom came home, she saw the card and hugged Sara and her dad. She said, "Thank you, my loves. This is the best gift ever. You made me very happy." + +The moral value of the story is: It is good to try new things, but you have to be careful and ask for help when you need it. You don't need fancy things to show your love. Simple and sincere gestures can mean a lot. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play music with their toys. Anna has a drum and Ben has a guitar. They make a band and sing songs. + +One day, a new girl comes to their school. Her name is Cara. She is wealthy. She has many toys and clothes. She also likes to play music. She has a piano and a flute. + +Cara sees Anna and Ben playing music. She wants to join their band. She says, "I can play the piano and the flute. They are better than your drum and guitar. Let me be in your band." + +Anna and Ben are surprised. They like their drum and guitar. They say, "No, thank you. We are happy with our band. You can play music by yourself." + +Cara is angry. She says, "You are silly. You don't know how to play music. You have cheap toys. I have expensive toys. I am wealthy. You are poor. I will make my own band and it will be better than yours." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They don't like Cara. They think she is mean and rude. They say, "We don't care. We have fun with our band. We are friends. You are alone. You are not nice. We don't want to play with you." + +Cara leaves. She plays music by herself. She is bored. She has no friends. She is not happy. + +Anna and Ben play music together. They are happy. They have friends. They choose to be kind. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many grapes. The grapes are purple and sweet. + +"Look, grapes!" Lila says. "I want some!" + +"Me too!" Ben says. They run to the tree. But the grapes are too high. They cannot reach them. + +"Maybe we can climb the tree," Lila says. She tries to find a branch. But the branch is too thin. It breaks. Lila falls to the ground. She hurts her knee. She cries. + +"Are you okay?" Ben asks. He helps her stand up. He sees a big bruise on her knee. + +"I'm sorry, Lila," he says. "The tree is too big for us. We cannot have the grapes." + +Lila stops crying. She looks at the tree. She sees a bird. The bird is on the top of the tree. The bird picks a grape with its beak. It eats the grape. It makes a happy sound. + +Lila feels envious. She wants a grape too. She thinks the bird is mean. She says to the bird, "Hey, bird! Share the grapes with us! We are hungry too!" + +But the bird does not listen. It picks another grape. It eats the grape. It makes another happy sound. + +Lila feels angry. She picks up a stone. She throws the stone at the bird. But she misses. The stone hits the tree. The tree shakes. Many grapes fall to the ground. + +Lila and Ben are surprised. They see the grapes. They are happy. They run to the grapes. They pick them up. They eat them. They are delicious. + +"Wow, Lila!" Ben says. "You did it! You made the grapes fall!" + +Lila smiles. She feels proud. She says, "Yes, I did! The bird was greedy. But we are smart. We have the grapes now!" + +They share the grapes. They are full. They are happy. They thank the tree. They thank the stone. They do not thank the bird. They do not care about the bird. They play in the park. They are friends. +Tim and Jen liked to play in the big house. They liked to run and jump and hide. But they did not like the fireplace. It was hot and scary. Mom said, "Do not go near the fireplace. It can hurt you." + +One day, Tim and Jen were playing hide and seek. Tim hid behind the sofa. Jen looked for him. She saw a big box. It was shiny and pretty. Jen wanted to see what was in the box. She went to the box and lifted the lid. It was very heavy. She had to use both hands. She saw something shiny and round. It looked like a ball. Jen liked balls. She wanted to play with it. + +She took the ball out of the box. It was not a ball. It was a clock. It had a face and hands and numbers. It was very old and fancy. Jen did not know that. She did not know how to tell time. She only knew how to count to ten. She did not know that the clock was very important to Mom. Mom got it from her grandma. It was very special. + +Jen tried to throw the clock like a ball. But it was too heavy. It made her dizzy. She lost her balance. She fell down. The clock flew out of her hand. It hit the fireplace. It broke into pieces. The fireplace made a loud noise. It spit out sparks and smoke. It set the clock on fire. + +Tim heard the noise. He came out from behind the sofa. He saw the fire. He saw Jen on the floor. He was scared. He ran to Jen. He helped her get up. He said, "Are you okay?" Jen said, "I'm sorry. I did not mean to." Tim said, "We have to tell Mom. She will be mad. But she will help us. Come on." + +They ran to Mom. They told her what happened. Mom was very mad. She was very sad. She said, "You were very naughty. You did not listen to me. You broke my clock. You made a fire. You could have been hurt. You have to say sorry. You have to help me clean up. You have to learn to be careful." + +Tim and Jen said sorry. They helped Mom clean up. They learned to be careful. They did not play near the fireplace again. They played with their toys. They played with each other. They were happy. Mom was happy. The end. +Anna loved her dog Spot. Spot was big and brown and had a white spot on his nose. Spot liked to run and play and bark. Anna and Spot were best friends. + +One day, Anna's mom said they had to go to the veterinarian. Anna did not know what that was. She asked her mom. Her mom said it was a doctor for animals. She said Spot needed a check-up to make sure he was healthy and happy. Anna was worried. She did not want Spot to be sick or hurt. + +They got in the car and drove to the veterinarian. Anna held Spot on her lap. He was too big to fit in a seat. He licked her face and wagged his tail. Anna smiled. She told Spot he was a good boy and that everything would be fine. + +They arrived at the veterinarian. They went inside and waited. There were other animals there. Some were cats, some were birds, some were rabbits. Spot barked at them. Anna told him to be quiet. She saw a sign that said "Please keep your pets on a leash". She did not have a leash. She hoped no one would mind. + +Soon, a lady came out. She wore a white coat and had a name tag that said "Dr. Lee". She smiled and said hello. She said she was the veterinarian. She said she was ready to see Spot. She asked Anna and her mom to follow her. They went into a room that had a table, a scale, a stethoscope, and some other things. Anna did not know what they were. + +Dr. Lee asked Anna to put Spot on the table. Anna lifted him up. He was heavy. She put him on the table. He looked around and sniffed. Dr. Lee petted him and said he was a handsome dog. She said she was going to examine him and give him a shot. She said the shot would help him stay healthy and not get sick. She said it would hurt a little bit, but only for a second. She asked Anna if she wanted to hold Spot's paw. Anna said yes. She took Spot's paw and told him he was brave and that she loved him. + +Dr. Lee checked Spot's ears, eyes, teeth, and fur. She listened to his heart and lungs. She weighed him and measured him. She said he was a big and strong dog. She said he was doing great. She took a syringe and filled it with a liquid. She said it was time for the shot. She told Anna to hold Spot tight and to look away if she wanted to. Anna closed her eyes and hugged Spot. She heard him whimper. She opened her eyes and saw a drop of blood on his fur. She felt sorry for him. She kissed him and said he was a good boy. + +Dr. Lee put a band-aid on Spot's fur. She said he was done. She said he was a very good patient. She gave him a treat and a toy. She said he could go home. She said he might be a little sore and sleepy, but he would be fine. She said she wanted to see him again in a year. She said goodbye and thanked Anna and her mom. They said goodbye and thanked her. + +They left the room and went back to the car. Anna put Spot on her lap again. He licked her face and wagged his tail. Anna smiled. She told Spot he was a good boy and that she was proud of him. She said they were going home. She said they would play and cuddle and have fun. She said they were best friends. Spot barked. He agreed. +Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They also gave him two eyes and a mouth with small stones, and two arms with twigs. + +"Look at our snowman!" Anna said. "He is so happy and funny!" + +"Yes, he is!" Ben agreed. "But we have to go inside soon. It is getting dark and cold." + +They hugged their snowman and said goodbye. Then they ran to their house, where their mom was waiting with hot chocolate and cookies. + +The next morning, Anna and Ben woke up and looked out of the window. They wanted to see their snowman again. But they saw something that made them very upset. + +Their snowman was gone! Only his hat, his scarf, his carrot nose and some stones were left on the ground. The twigs that were his arms were lying next to them. + +"What happened to our snowman?" Anna cried. + +"He melted!" Ben said. "The sun was too hot and he melted!" + +They ran outside and looked at the sad pile of things that used to be their snowman. They felt very sad and angry. + +"Who did this to our snowman?" Anna asked. + +"Nobody did it, Anna," Ben said. "It was not their fault. It was the sun's fault. The sun is mean and bad. It melted our snowman!" + +They picked up the hat, the scarf, the carrot nose and the stones. They also took the twigs and held them in their hands. + +"Maybe we can make another snowman someday," Ben said. + +"Maybe," Anna said. "But it will not be the same. I miss our snowman. He was our friend." + +They hugged each other and walked back to their house, hoping that the sun would not melt their snowman again. +Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They like to open and close the cabinet doors and see what is inside. They find pots and pans, plates and cups, spoons and forks. They make a lot of noise with them. + +"Listen, Anna, listen!" Ben says. He bangs a pot with a spoon. "It sounds like a drum!" + +Anna nods and smiles. She bangs a pan with a fork. "It sounds like a bell!" + +They laugh and bang some more. They do not hear their mom calling them from the living room. + +"Anna! Ben! Stop making so much noise! You are too loud!" Mom says. She walks to the kitchen and sees the mess. She is not happy. + +"Mom, we are playing!" Anna says. "We are making music!" + +"Music?" Mom says. "That is not music, that is noise! You are hurting my ears!" + +She looks at Ben. He does not say anything. He does not look at her. He keeps banging the pot. + +"Ben, did you hear me?" Mom says. She taps his shoulder. He turns around and looks at her. He shakes his head. + +"Mom, Ben is deaf," Anna says. "He can not hear you. He can only feel the sound. He likes to bang the pot. It makes him happy." + +Mom feels sorry. She hugs Ben and kisses his cheek. She hugs Anna and kisses her cheek. + +"I am sorry, Ben. I did not know you are deaf. I am sorry, Anna. I did not mean to be angry. You are good kids. You are good at playing. But can you please play quieter? Or play in your room? The kitchen is not a good place to play. It is dangerous. And I need to cook dinner." + +Anna and Ben nod. They say sorry to Mom. They put the pots and pans, the plates and cups, the spoons and forks back in the cabinet. They hold hands and go to their room. They find their toys and play with them. They listen to each other with their eyes and their hearts. +Tom loved to sail his toy boat in the pond. He made it from a box and a stick and a cloth. He painted it red and blue and gave it a name. He called it Star. He liked to pretend that Star was a big boat that could go to far places. + +One day, he went to the pond with his mom and his sister. His sister had a new bike that she got for her birthday. She was very happy and wanted to show Tom how fast she could ride. Tom did not care about the bike. He only wanted to sail Star. + +He put Star in the water and watched it float. He blew on the cloth to make it move. He made sounds like a horn and a wave. He smiled and felt proud of his boat. He did not see his sister coming. + +She was riding her bike around the pond. She was not looking where she was going. She was too busy singing and laughing. She did not see Star in the water. She did not hear Tom shouting. + +She hit Star with her bike. Star broke into pieces. Tom saw his boat sink. He felt a big pain in his heart. He ran to his mom and cried. He was very sad and very angry. He was frustrated. + +His mom hugged him and said she was sorry. She said she would help him make a new boat. She said his sister did not mean to hurt Star. She said it was an accident. + +Tom did not want a new boat. He wanted Star. He did not want to forgive his sister. He wanted to yell at her. He did not want to hear it was an accident. He wanted to have his boat back. + +But he knew his mom was right. He knew his sister was sorry. He knew it was not fair to be mad. He knew he had to let go of Star. + +He wiped his tears and looked at his sister. She was holding a cone of cream. She had bought it for him with her money. She said she was sorry and she loved him. She said she wanted to share her cream with him. + +Tom looked at the cream. It was his favorite flavor. It was chocolate. He liked chocolate. He liked cream. He liked his sister. + +He took the cone and smiled. He said he was sorry and he loved her. He said he wanted to share his cream with her. + +They ate the cream together. They felt better. They hugged and said they were friends. They decided to play with the bike and the box. They made a new game. They pretended they were sailing on the bike and the box. They called it Star. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy trucks in the living room. They liked to load the trucks with different things and drive them around. Lily had a pink truck and Ben had a blue one. + +"Look, I have a coat for my truck," Lily said, showing Ben a small coat she found in the closet. "It is soft and warm. I can put it on the back of my truck." + +"That is silly," Ben said. "Coats are for people, not trucks. Trucks need strong things, like rocks and sticks. I have some rocks and sticks for my truck. They are heavy and hard. I can load them on the front of my truck." + +Lily and Ben started to load their trucks with their things. Lily put the coat on the back of her truck and Ben put the rocks and sticks on the front of his truck. They were having fun. + +Then, they saw a box on the table. It had a sticker that said "fragile". They did not know what that word meant, but they were curious. + +"What is in the box?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Let's see." + +They climbed on the couch and reached for the box. They opened it and saw a beautiful vase. It was shiny and colorful. It had flowers and birds on it. + +"Wow, it is pretty," Lily said. + +"Can we play with it?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. It looks breakable." + +They took the vase out of the box and put it on the couch. They admired it for a while. Then, they had an idea. + +"Let's load it on our trucks," Lily said. + +"Okay," Ben said. + +They lifted the vase and tried to put it on their trucks. But the vase was too big and heavy for their trucks. It slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. It made a loud noise. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben said. + +They heard their mom coming. They were scared. They hid under the coat on the back of Lily's truck. They hoped their mom would not be angry. They learned a new word: fragile. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big yellow slide that looked like a snake. Lily wanted to try it, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" Lily said. "The slide is not a monster, it is just a toy." + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, it is too high and too twisty. I don't like it. It might bite me." + +Lily laughed. "It will not bite you, silly. It is not real. Look, I will show you." She climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She waved to Ben and said, "Watch me!" + +She slid down the slide, but it was faster and twistier than she thought. She screamed and closed her eyes. She felt dizzy and scared. She wished she had listened to Ben. + +When she reached the bottom, she opened her eyes and saw Ben waiting for her. He looked worried and ran to her. He hugged her and said, "Are you okay, Lily? You were very brave." + +Lily nodded, but she felt sick. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You were right. The slide is a monster. I don't like it. Can we play something else?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Yes, Lily, we can. How about the swings? They are nice and gentle." + +Lily agreed and they walked to the swings. They pushed each other and laughed. They forgot about the yellow monster slide and had fun. +Sara liked to design things. She had many crayons and papers and stickers. She made pictures of flowers and stars and animals. She was very proud of her designs. + +One day, she wanted to design an owl. She liked owls. They had big eyes and soft feathers and could fly at night. She found a brown crayon and a white crayon and a black crayon. She drew a big circle for the head and two smaller circles for the eyes. She drew a triangle for the beak and two ovals for the ears. She drew a big oval for the body and two smaller ovals for the wings. She filled in the feathers with brown and white and black. She smiled at her owl. It looked very nice. + +She showed her owl to her brother Tom. Tom was older than Sara. He liked to tease her sometimes. He looked at her owl and said, "That's not an owl. That's a funny bird. Owls don't have ears like that. And their eyes are not white. And their wings are not so small. You don't know how to design an owl. You should learn from me. I can design a better owl than you." + +Sara felt upset. She did not like Tom's words. She thought her owl was good. She did not want to learn from Tom. She said, "No, you are wrong. My owl is an owl. It has ears and eyes and wings. It is not a funny bird. It is a beautiful owl. You are mean. You don't know how to design anything. You should leave me alone." + +Tom and Sara started to argue. They raised their voices and said mean things to each other. They did not listen to each other. They did not see their mother coming. She heard their noise and saw their faces. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you. You are being rude and unkind. You should not fight over your designs. You should respect each other's creativity and imagination. You should share your ideas and learn from each other. You should say sorry and hug each other." + +Tom and Sara looked at their mother. They felt ashamed. They knew she was right. They said sorry and hugged each other. They looked at their owl again. They saw that it was not perfect, but it was special. It was Sara's owl. It was her design. They decided to make another owl together. They used different crayons and papers and stickers. They made a new owl. It looked different from Sara's owl, but it was also nice. They were happy with their design. They showed it to their mother. She smiled and said, "That's a wonderful owl. You did a great job. I'm proud of you." +Sara and Ben love to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and shapes. They like to zoom them on the floor, on the table, and on the couch. Sometimes they make noises like vroom, beep, and honk. + +One day, Sara and Ben decided to play a game. They each picked a car and put it on the floor. They said, "Ready, set, go!" and pushed their cars as fast as they could. They wanted to see whose car would zoom the farthest. + +Sara had a red car that was very shiny and smooth. Ben had a blue car that was very big and heavy. Sara thought her car would win because it was light and fast. Ben thought his car would win because it was strong and powerful. + +They pushed their cars with all their might. The cars zoomed across the floor, past the rug, past the chair, and past the door. Sara and Ben ran after them, cheering and laughing. They looked at each other and smiled. They were having so much fun. + +But then, something happened. Ben's car was so big that it hit the wall and bounced back. It zoomed right into Sara's car and knocked it over. Sara's car rolled and rolled until it stopped under the bed. Sara and Ben gasped. They ran to their cars and picked them up. + +Sara looked at her car and saw that it had a dent and a scratch. She felt sad and angry. She said to Ben, "You broke my car! You have a big, bad car! I don't want to play with you anymore!" She threw her car on the floor and ran to her room. + +Ben looked at his car and saw that it had a dent and a scratch too. He felt sorry and sad. He said to Sara, "I'm sorry, Sara. I didn't mean to break your car. It was an accident. Please don't be mad at me. I want to play with you." He followed her to her room and knocked on the door. + +Sara did not answer. She was crying on her bed. She hugged her teddy bear and said, "I don't like Ben. He is mean. He has a big, bad car. He is not my friend." + +Ben waited outside the door. He was crying too. He hugged his car and said, "I like Sara. She is nice. She has a shiny, fast car. She is my friend." + +They both wished they could play together again. They both wished they could say sorry and hug. They both wished they could zoom their cars again. + +But they did not know how to do that. They were only three years old. They needed someone to help them. They needed someone who was patient and kind. They needed their mom. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play together every day. They have many toys and books and games. They share everything and help each other. + +But today is a different day. Today they have to go to school for the first time. They are very excited, but also a little worried. They do not know the teacher or the other children. They do not know what they will do or learn. + +They hold hands as they walk to the school with their mom. They see a big building with many windows and doors. They see a sign that says "Welcome to Kindergarten". They see many children running and laughing in the yard. + +Mom takes them to a door with a picture of a sun. She says, "This is your classroom, Tom. You will meet your teacher and your new friends here. Have fun and learn a lot." She gives him a hug and a kiss. + +Then she takes Anna to another door with a picture of a moon. She says, "This is your classroom, Anna. You will meet your teacher and your new friends here. Have fun and learn a lot." She gives her a hug and a kiss. + +Tom and Anna look at each other. They feel sad and scared. They do not want to separate. They want to stay together. + +"Can we go to the same classroom, mom?" they ask. + +Mom smiles and says, "No, my loves. You are in different classrooms, but you are still together in your hearts. You will see each other at lunch and after school. You will have many stories to tell each other. You will make new friends, but you will always be best friends. I am very proud of you. I love you very much." + +Tom and Anna nod and try to be brave. They wave goodbye to mom and to each other. They enter their classrooms and join the other children. They see their teachers smiling and welcoming them. They see many toys and books and games. They hear music and songs. They start to feel curious and happy. + +They think, maybe school is not so bad. Maybe school is fun. Maybe they will like it here. Maybe they will make new friends, but they will always love each other. They are twins. They are together. +Lily and Ben were playing with their cards. They had many cards with pictures of animals, fruits, and toys. They wanted to match the cards that had the same picture. + +"Look, I have a card with a candy," Lily said, holding up a card with a red and white swirl. + +"I have one too," Ben said, showing his card with a green and yellow swirl. "But they are not the same. They have different colors." + +"That's okay, we can still match them. They are both candy," Lily said. "Let's put them together." + +They put their cards next to each other on the floor. They smiled and clapped their hands. + +"Good job, we matched the candy," Ben said. + +They looked for more cards to match. They found cards with a cat, a dog, a ball, a bike, and a flower. They matched them and made a big pile. + +"Wow, we have so many matches," Lily said. "We are very good at this game." + +They saw one card left on the table. It had a picture of a swan. It was white and graceful. It had a long neck and a curved beak. + +"Who has the other swan?" Lily asked. "We need to match it." + +They looked at their pile, but they did not see another swan. They looked at each other, but they did not have another swan. + +"Oh no, we don't have the match for the swan," Ben said. "Where is it?" + +They searched the room, but they could not find it. They felt sad and confused. + +"Maybe we lost it," Lily said. "Maybe it flew away." + +They heard a knock on the door. They ran to open it. They saw their mom holding a card. + +"Hi, kids. I found this card in the kitchen. I think it belongs to you," she said. She gave them the card. + +They looked at the card. It had a picture of a swan. It was white and graceful. It had a long neck and a curved beak. + +"Yay, it's the match for the swan," Lily said. "Thank you, mom." + +They hugged their mom and took the card. They ran back to the floor and put the card next to the other swan. + +"We did it, we matched the swan," Ben said. + +They cheered and danced. They were happy and proud. + +The end. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a toy gun and a toy tiger. They take turns to shoot the tiger and make it fall. + +One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Ben. He has a big bike and a big ball. He sees Tom and Lily playing with the toy gun and the toy tiger. He wants to play too. + +"Can I play with you?" he asks. + +"Sure, you can play with us," Tom says. He is nice. + +But Lily is jealous. She likes the toy gun and the toy tiger. She does not want to share them with Ben. + +"No, you can't play with us," she says. She is mean. + +"Why not?" Ben asks. + +"Because they are ours, and you have your own toys," Lily says. + +"But I want to try the gun and the tiger," Ben says. + +"No, you can't. Go away," Lily says. + +She grabs the toy gun and the toy tiger from Tom. She runs away from Ben. Tom follows her. + +Ben is sad. He does not understand why Lily is so mean. He sits on his bike and plays with his ball. + +Tom and Lily hide behind a tree. They shoot the tiger and make it fall. But they are not happy. They miss Ben. They see him playing alone. + +"Maybe we should let him play with us," Tom says. + +"But I don't want to share," Lily says. + +"But he is nice, and he has no friends," Tom says. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She feels sorry for Ben. She remembers that sharing is good. + +"Okay, maybe we can share," she says. + +They go back to Ben. They say sorry to him. They ask him to play with them. They give him the toy gun and the toy tiger. They take turns to shoot the tiger and make it fall. They also play with his bike and his ball. + +They have fun. They are friends. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. They saw a big hole in the ground. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's go and look," said Ben. + +"No, it might be dangerous," said Lily. + +Ben did not listen. He ran to the hole and peered inside. He saw something shiny and round. He reached out to grab it. + +"Ben, come back!" shouted Lily. + +But it was too late. Ben touched the shiny thing and felt a sharp pain. He screamed and pulled his hand back. He had touched a can with a jagged edge. His hand was bleeding and hurting. + +Lily ran to him and wrapped her scarf around his hand. She recognized the can. It was the same one that their mom had thrown away yesterday. It was disgusting and dirty. + +"Ben, you should have listened to me," said Lily. "You should not touch things that you do not know. They might be dangerous or bad for you." + +"I'm sorry, Lily," said Ben. "You were right. I was foolish and curious. I learned my lesson." + +Lily hugged him and helped him walk to their mom. Their mom took them to the doctor. The doctor cleaned and bandaged Ben's hand. He said Ben would be fine, but he had to be careful. + +Lily and Ben thanked the doctor and their mom. They went home and promised to be more careful and listen to each other. They learned that curiosity is good, but safety is important. They also learned that some things are better left alone. +Sara and Ben are playing in their room. It is very hot today. They have a fan that makes cool air. Sara likes the fan. She turns it on and sits in front of it. She feels the gentle breeze on her face and hair. + +"Can I play with the fan too?" Ben asks. He wants to feel the cool air too. + +"OK, but you have to be careful. The fan has blades that spin fast. They can hurt you if you touch them." Sara says. She lets Ben sit next to her. They share the fan. + +Ben is curious. He wants to see how the fan works. He reaches out his hand to touch the blades. Sara sees him and stops him. + +"No, Ben, don't do that! You will get hurt!" Sara shouts. She pulls his hand away from the fan. + +"Sorry, Sara. I just wanted to see." Ben says. He feels sorry for making Sara scared. + +"It's OK, Ben. I know you were curious. But you have to listen to me. The fan is not a toy. It is a tool. It helps us stay cool. But we have to use it safely." Sara says. She hugs Ben and smiles. + +"I understand, Sara. Thank you for sharing the fan with me. And thank you for protecting me." Ben says. He hugs Sara back and smiles. + +They play with the fan for a while. They make funny faces and noises with the air. They laugh and have fun. They are happy. They are good siblings. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pink dress. Sara always took Lily with her when she went out. + +One day, Sara and her mother went to the park. Sara saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She asked her mother if she could. Her mother nodded and smiled. She was deaf, so she could not hear Sara, but she could read her lips. Sara ran to the slide with Lily. + +Sara climbed up the steps and sat on the slide. She held Lily in her arms. She was ready to go down. But then, a boy came behind her. He was bigger than Sara and he looked mean. He pushed Sara and grabbed Lily. He said, "Give me your doll. It's mine now." + +Sara was scared and angry. She shouted, "No! Give Lily back! She's mine!" But the boy did not listen. He ran away with Lily. Sara cried and slid down. She looked for her mother. She wanted her to help. + +But her mother did not see what happened. She was sitting on a bench and reading a book. She did not hear Sara's cries. She did not know that Sara was sad and that Lily was gone. Sara ran to her mother and hugged her. She tried to tell her what happened, but her mother did not understand. She thought Sara was just happy to see her. She hugged her back and said, "I love you, Sara." + +Sara felt alone and lost. She wished her mother could hear her. She wished she could get Lily back. She wished the boy would be sorry. She did not know what to do. She hoped that someone would help her. She hoped that Lily was safe. She hoped that things would be better. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She was happy when she painted. + +One day, she wanted to paint something new. She asked her mom, "Can I go outside and paint?" Her mom said, "Yes, but be careful. Don't go near the swamp. It is dirty and wet and has bugs." + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I will be careful." She took her paints and brushes and went outside. She saw a big tree with green leaves. She thought, "This is a cool tree. I will paint it." She set up her paints and brushes and started to paint. + +But she did not see a frog behind the tree. The frog saw Lily and her paints. He thought, "These are cool colors. I want them." He hopped over to Lily and grabbed her yellow paint. He said, "Ribbit, ribbit. This is mine now." + +Lily was surprised and angry. She said, "Hey, frog. That is my paint. Give it back." She tried to take the paint from the frog, but he was too fast. He hopped away with the paint. He said, "Ribbit, ribbit. No, this is mine. I will paint the swamp yellow." + +Lily chased the frog. She said, "Stop, frog. You are being mean. You can't paint the swamp yellow. That is silly." She ran after the frog, but he was too fast. He reached the swamp and started to paint the water and the mud and the plants yellow. + +Lily stopped at the edge of the swamp. She did not want to go in. She said, "Frog, please stop. You are making a mess. You are ruining the swamp. The swamp is not yellow. It is brown and green and blue." + +The frog did not listen. He said, "Ribbit, ribbit. I don't care. I like yellow. Yellow is cool. I will paint everything yellow." He painted more and more of the swamp yellow. + +Lily was sad and mad. She did not know what to do. She wanted her paint back. She wanted the frog to stop. She wanted the swamp to be normal. She said, "Frog, you are being bad. You are not nice. You are not a good painter. You are a bad painter." + +The frog heard Lily. He looked at his paint. He looked at the swamp. He saw that he had made a mess. He saw that the swamp was not cool. It was ugly. He felt sorry. He said, "Ribbit, ribbit. You are right. I am a bad painter. I am sorry. I will give you your paint back." + +He hopped over to Lily and gave her the yellow paint. He said, "Ribbit, ribbit. I am sorry. I was mean. I will not paint the swamp again. I will find another way to be cool." + +Lily took the paint. She said, "Thank you, frog. I forgive you. You can be cool without painting the swamp. You can be cool by being yourself. You are a cool frog." + +The frog smiled. He said, "Ribbit, ribbit. Thank you, Lily. You are a cool girl. You are a good painter. You can paint the tree. I will watch you." + +Lily smiled. She said, "OK, frog. You can watch me. But don't touch my paints. They are mine." + +The frog said, "Ribbit, ribbit. OK, Lily. I will not touch your paints. They are yours." + +Lily and the frog became friends. They went back to the tree. Lily painted the tree with her paints. The frog watched her with his eyes. They were happy. The end. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and smell them. They saw a red flower with a black dot in the middle. "What is this?" Anna asked. "It is a poppy," Ben said. "My mom told me. It is very pretty." + +They picked the poppy and put it in their hair. They pretended to be fairies and danced around. They saw a bee flying near the poppy. The bee wanted to get some honey from the flower. But the bee did not recognize that the poppy was not on a stem, but on Anna's head. The bee buzzed and tried to land on the poppy. + +"Ouch!" Anna cried. "The bee stung me!" She took the poppy off her hair and threw it away. She ran to her mom and showed her the sting. Her mom gave her a hug and put some ice on it. "You are very brave," her mom said. "But next time, be careful with the flowers. Some of them have bees inside." + +Ben felt sorry for Anna. He picked another poppy and brought it to her. He said, "I am sorry, Anna. I did not know the bee would sting you. Here, have another poppy. But do not put it in your hair. Put it in your hand. It is safer that way." + +Anna smiled and took the poppy. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. But you are also very silly. Why did you pick another poppy? Don't you know that there might be another bee inside?" They both laughed and played with the poppy. They were careful not to let the bee get them again. They had fun in the garden. +Lily wanted to help her mom bake a cake. She saw a big mixer on the table. It had a bowl and a stick that could spin fast. Lily thought it looked fun. She climbed on a chair and reached for the mixer. + +"Stop, Lily!" her mom said. "That mixer is not a toy. It can hurt you. You have to wait for me to use it." + +"But I want to help!" Lily said. She was sad and angry. She did not like to wait. She wanted to do something. + +Her mom was busy. She had to measure the flour and the sugar and the eggs. She did not have time to play with Lily. She said, "Why don't you go to your room and find something else to do? I will call you when the cake is ready." + +Lily did not want to go to her room. She wanted to stay with her mom. She thought her mom did not love her. She started to cry. She threw the mixer on the floor. It made a loud noise. It broke into pieces. + +Her mom was shocked. She ran to Lily and hugged her. She said, "Oh, Lily, what have you done? You broke the mixer. Now we can't make the cake. And you could have hurt yourself. Why did you do that?" + +Lily sobbed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to help. I wanted to be with you. I thought you did not love me." + +Her mom kissed her. She said, "I love you, Lily. I always love you. But you have to listen to me. The mixer is not a toy. It is a tool. You have to be careful with it. And you have to be patient. Sometimes I am busy, but that does not mean I don't love you. I love you more than anything." + +Lily felt better. She said, "I love you too, mom. I'm sorry I broke the mixer. Can we still make the cake?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "We can try. Maybe we can use a spoon instead of the mixer. It will take longer, but it will be fun. And you can help me. But you have to promise me to be good and follow the rules." + +Lily nodded. She said, "I promise, mom. I will be good and follow the rules. And I will help you make the cake. And I will wait for it to be ready. And I will share it with you." + +Her mom hugged her. She said, "That's my girl. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and make the cake. And then we can eat it together. And we can be happy." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the big house. The big house has many rooms. Some rooms are fun. Some rooms are scary. + +One day, they find a new room. It is a chamber. It is dark and cold. It has a big door with a lock. Anna and Ben are nervous. + +"What is in there?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Do you want to see?" Ben says. + +Anna nods. Ben pushes the door. It opens with a loud creak. They go inside. They see a big bed, a big closet, and a big mirror. They also see a small box on a table. + +"What is that?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Do you want to open it?" Anna says. + +Ben nods. He goes to the table. He picks up the box. He opens it. He sees a shiny ring. He puts it on his finger. + +"Wow, look!" he says. + +Anna goes to him. She sees the ring. She likes it. She wants it. + +"Can I have it?" she asks. + +"No, it is mine. I found it." Ben says. + +He turns away. He looks at the mirror. He sees his face. But his face is not his face. It is an old face. It is a scary face. He screams. + +Anna looks at the mirror. She sees Ben's face. But it is not Ben's face. It is an old face. It is a scary face. She screams. + +They run to the door. They try to open it. But it is locked. They are trapped. They are scared. They cry. + +The end. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They think it is a truck. + +"Let's load the truck with our toys!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Lily says. They run to get their toys. They have dolls, cars, balls, and books. They put them in the box. + +"Now we can drive the truck to a new place!" Tom says. He pretends to steer the box. + +"Where do you want to go?" Lily asks. + +"I want to go to the park. There are swings and slides and flowers there. It is a rich place!" Tom says. + +"I want to go to the zoo. There are animals and birds and fish there. It is a rich place too!" Lily says. + +They both think for a moment. Then they smile. + +"Why don't we go to both places?" Tom says. + +"Yes, that is a good idea!" Lily says. "We have a lot of toys, we can share them with other kids." + +They nod and hug. They are happy. They have a big truck, many toys, and a good friend. They have a rich life. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big tube. The tube is long and dark. They want to go inside. + +"Let's see what is in the tube," Tim says. + +"OK, but you go first," Mia says. + +Tim nods and walks into the tube. He cannot see anything. He hears a loud noise. It sounds like a roar. He is scared. + +"Help! Help!" he shouts. + +Mia hears Tim. She runs to the tube. She looks inside. She sees a cat. The cat is deaf. It cannot hear Tim. It is just playing with a ball. The ball makes the noise. + +"Mia, help me!" Tim cries. + +"Tim, it is OK. It is just a cat. The cat is deaf. It cannot hear you. It is not scary. It is cute," Mia says. + +She picks up the cat and shows it to Tim. Tim sees the cat. He is not scared anymore. He is sorry. + +"I am sorry, cat. I did not know you were deaf. I did not mean to scare you. You are cute," he says. + +He pets the cat. The cat purrs. It likes Tim and Mia. They are friends. They play with the cat and the ball. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They found a big box and a map. The map had pictures of animals and places. Lily and Ben wanted to see them. + +"Let's go on an adventure!" Lily said. "We can use the box as a car and the map as a guide." + +"OK!" Ben said. "But where do we start?" + +Lily looked at the map. She saw a picture of a lion. She pointed to it. "Let's go to the lion. He is the king of the animals. Maybe he can tell us more." + +They put the map in the box and got inside. They pretended to drive to the lion. They made noises like a car. Vroom, vroom! + +But when they got to the lion, they saw that he was very big and scary. He had sharp teeth and claws. He roared at them. Lily and Ben were afraid. + +"Help!" Lily cried. "The lion is angry. He wants to eat us!" + +"Quick!" Ben said. "Let's get out of here!" + +They jumped out of the box and ran away. The lion chased them. They dropped the map on the ground. + +They ran to the other side of the park. They saw a picture of a bird on the map. They thought the bird would be nice and friendly. + +"Let's go to the bird!" Lily said. "Maybe he can help us." + +They got back in the box and drove to the bird. They made noises like a bird. Tweet, tweet! + +But when they got to the bird, they saw that he was very small and shy. He had soft feathers and a beak. He hid in a tree. Lily and Ben tried to talk to him. + +"Hello, bird!" Lily said. "We are on an adventure. Can you tell us more about the map?" + +But the bird was too scared to answer. He flew away. Lily and Ben were sad. + +"Bye, bird!" Ben said. "We are sorry we scared you." + +They looked at the map again. They saw a picture of a flower. They thought the flower would be pretty and sweet. + +"Let's go to the flower!" Lily said. "Maybe she can cheer us up." + +They got in the box and drove to the flower. They made noises like a bee. Buzz, buzz! + +But when they got to the flower, they saw that she was very small and delicate. She had petals and a stem. She smelled nice. Lily and Ben smiled. + +"Hello, flower!" Lily said. "You are so beautiful. Can we be your friends?" + +The flower nodded. She said, "Yes, you can. You are very kind. I like your car and your map. Where did you get them?" + +Lily and Ben told her about their adventure. They told her about the lion, the bird, and the other pictures on the map. + +The flower listened. She said, "You are very brave. You have seen many things. But you have also learned something. Not everything that looks big and scary is bad. And not everything that looks small and shy is good. You have to be careful and respectful. You have to use your words and your heart. That is the best way to make friends." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "You are right, flower. Thank you for your wisdom. You are our friend." + +They gave the flower a hug. They gave her the map as a gift. They said goodbye. + +They got in the box and drove back to the park. They were happy. They had learned a lesson. They had made a friend. They had had a great adventure. +Sara and Tom moved to a new house with their mom and dad. The house was very big and old. It had many stairs and rooms. Sara and Tom wanted to see their new rooms, but mom and dad said they had to unpack first. + +"Unpack? What is unpack?" Sara asked. + +"It means to take things out of the boxes and put them where they belong," dad explained. + +"Can we help?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, you can help. But be careful, some of the boxes are heavy and some of the things are fragile," mom said. + +Sara and Tom followed mom and dad to the big truck. They saw many boxes with their names on them. They each picked a small box and carried it to the house. They climbed the stairs and found their rooms. Sara's room was pink and Tom's room was blue. + +They opened their boxes and saw their toys, books and clothes. They were happy to see their familiar things. They started to unpack and put them on the shelves, in the drawers and on the bed. + +"Look, Sara, I found my dinosaur!" Tom shouted. + +"Wow, he is so big and scary!" Sara said. + +"He is not scary, he is friendly. He is ancient, like the house," Tom said. + +"Ancient? What is ancient?" Sara asked. + +"It means very, very old, like grandma and grandpa," Tom said. + +"Are grandma and grandpa ancient too?" Sara asked. + +"No, silly, they are not ancient. They are just old. But they are nice and they love us," Tom said. + +"I love them too. And I love our new house. And I love you, Tom," Sara said. + +"I love you too, Sara. And I love our new house. And I love our dinosaur," Tom said. + +They hugged each other and their dinosaur. Then they finished unpacking and played with their toys. They felt happy and cozy in their new rooms. They liked their new house. It was big and old, but it was also warm and fun. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. Anna had a doll with long hair and a dress. Ben had a toy lion with a big mane and a tail. They liked their toys very much. + +"Look at my lion, Anna. He can roar and run and shake his tail. He is very strong and brave," Ben said. + +"Your lion is nice, Ben. But look at my doll, she can sing and dance and comb her hair. She is very pretty and kind," Anna said. + +They played happily for a while, until they saw a real cat walking by the fence. The cat had a fluffy white coat and a long, curly tail. It looked at them with bright green eyes and meowed. + +"Wow, look at that cat, Anna. It has such a beautiful tail. I wish my lion had a tail like that," Ben said, feeling envious. + +"I like that cat too, Ben. But I like my doll more. She has hair like me. I don't want a tail," Anna said, feeling proud. + +The cat jumped over the fence and came closer to them. It sniffed their toys and rubbed its head against them. It seemed to like them both. + +"Hello, cat. Do you want to play with us?" Anna asked. + +The cat nodded and purred. It looked at the doll and the lion and had to choose. It liked the doll's hair and the lion's mane, but it liked the lion's tail more. It decided to play with the lion. + +"Yay, the cat chose my lion. It likes his tail. He is the best toy ever," Ben said, feeling happy. + +"Aw, the cat didn't choose my doll. It doesn't like her hair. She is still the best toy ever," Anna said, feeling sad. + +They played with the cat and their toys for a while, until the cat had to go home. It said goodbye to them and jumped over the fence again. + +"Bye, cat. Come back soon. We had fun with you," Anna and Ben said. + +They hugged their toys and smiled. They realized that they didn't need to be envious of each other. They both had wonderful toys that they loved. They were happy to share them with the cat and with each other. They were good friends. +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was brown and round and had spots on it. + +"Look, a mushroom!" Tim said. "Can we pick it?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, we can't. Mom said mushrooms can be bad. They can make you sick." + +Tim frowned. He wanted to touch the mushroom. It looked so nice and soft. He wondered how it would feel in his hand. + +"Maybe we can just look at it," he said. "We can display it on a rock. Like a trophy." + +Lily nodded. She thought that was a good idea. They found a big rock near the mushroom. They carefully lifted the mushroom and put it on the rock. It looked very pretty. + +"Wow, it's so big!" Lily said. "And it has so many spots!" + +Tim smiled. He reached out to touch the mushroom. He wanted to feel how soft it was. + +But when he touched it, he felt something else. Something hard and sharp. Something that bit his finger. + +"Ow!" Tim cried. He pulled his hand back. He saw blood on his finger. He saw a big ant on the mushroom. It was angry and hissing. + +"Tim, are you okay?" Lily asked. She was scared. She saw the ant too. It looked mean and hungry. + +Tim was not okay. He was hurt and sad. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had left the mushroom alone. + +He learned a hard lesson that day. Mushrooms can be bad. And so can ants. +Lily and Max were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower. They took turns to put one block on top of another. They were careful not to make the tower fall. + +"Look, Max, we are almost done!" Lily said. "We only need one more block to complete our tower!" + +Max nodded. He looked for the last block. He saw a blue one on the floor. He reached for it. But then, he heard a loud noise. + +"Roar!" It was Leo, their grumpy cat. He jumped on the tower and knocked it down. The blocks scattered everywhere. + +"Leo, no!" Lily and Max shouted. They were sad and angry. They had worked hard on their tower. And now, it was gone. + +Leo did not care. He licked his paw and walked away. He was not sorry. He did not like the tower. He thought it was in his way. + +Lily and Max looked at the mess. They did not like the result. They wanted to build their tower again. But they did not have enough time. It was almost lunch. + +"Maybe we can try again later," Lily said. She tried to cheer up Max. + +Max nodded. He hugged Lily. He was still upset. But he loved his sister. And he loved playing with blocks. He hoped Leo would leave them alone next time. +Tom had a new whistle. He liked to blow it very loud. He blew it in the house, in the yard, and on the street. He made everyone angry with his noise. + +"Tom, stop blowing that whistle!" his mom said. "You will hurt your ears and make the dogs bark." + +"Tom, stop blowing that whistle!" his dad said. "You will annoy the neighbors and make the birds fly away." + +"Tom, stop blowing that whistle!" his sister said. "You will scare the cat and make the baby cry." + +But Tom did not listen. He thought he was very smart and funny. He kept blowing his whistle all day long. + +One day, Tom saw a big box on the porch. It had a sign that said "Open me". Tom was curious. He thought it was a present for him. He ran to the box and opened it. + +But it was not a present. It was a trap. Inside the box, there was a loud horn that went off when Tom opened it. It made a terrible sound that hurt Tom's ears and made him jump. He dropped his whistle and it broke. + +Tom was very scared and sad. He ran to his mom and cried. His mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. That was a foolish thing to do. Someone played a mean trick on you. Maybe they were tired of your whistle." + +Tom learned his lesson. He said he was sorry to his mom, his dad, his sister, and everyone else. He never blew his whistle again. He found a new toy that was quiet and nice. He played with it in the house, in the yard, and on the street. He made everyone happy with his smile. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play near the mill. The mill was a big house where people made flour from wheat. Sometimes, they saw the miller and his dog working there. + +One day, Lily and Ben saw a new boy near the mill. He had a bag and a stick. He looked different from them. He had dark hair and brown eyes. He wore a red hat and a green coat. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked the boy. + +"I am Tom," the boy said. "I came from far away. I am hungry and cold." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for Tom. They wanted to help him. + +"Come with us," Ben said. "We can share our bread and cheese with you. We can show you our secret hideout." + +Tom smiled and followed them. They walked to a big tree behind the mill. They had a hole under the roots where they kept their toys and snacks. + +Lily and Ben gave Tom some bread and cheese. They showed him their toys. They had a ball, a doll, a car, and a book. + +Tom looked at the toys. He liked them very much. He wanted to have them. He had a bad idea. He decided to steal them. + +When Lily and Ben were not looking, he put the toys in his bag. He also took some of their snacks. He was very sneaky. + +"Thank you for your kindness," he said. "But I have to go now. Goodbye." + +He ran away with his bag and his stick. He did not look back. + +Lily and Ben were shocked. They saw that their toys and snacks were gone. They realized that Tom had stolen them. They felt very sad and angry. + +"Tom is a bad boy," Lily said. "He is not our friend. He is a thief." + +"Yes, he is," Ben said. "He took our things. He lied to us. He is not welcome here." + +They ran to the miller and his dog. They told them what happened. The miller and his dog were very kind. They gave them some more bread and cheese. They also gave them a new toy. It was a windmill that spun in the wind. + +Lily and Ben thanked the miller and his dog. They played with their new toy. They forgot about Tom. They were happy again. +Lily and Ben were having breakfast. They liked to eat cereal with milk in their bowls. Lily had a pink bowl and Ben had a blue bowl. They were happy and hungry. + +But then, something terrible happened. Lily's bowl disappeared! She looked around and saw nothing. She was very sad and scared. Where did her bowl go?

He did not hear his mom calling him for dinner. + +He was about to make another grape disappear in his mouth when he heard a loud noise. He turned around and saw his dog, Max, jumping on his bed. Max liked grapes too. He liked to eat them and play with them. He liked to make them disappear in his mouth and then show his tongue. + +Max saw the grapes on the bed and was very happy. He ran to the bed and started to eat them. He ate one, two, three, four, five grapes. He felt full and proud. He had so many grapes left. He decided to play with them. + +He rolled them on the floor and made them bounce. He threw them in the air and caught them. He hid them under his pillow and then found them. He had so much fun. He did not hear Ben crying for his grapes. + +Ben was very sad. He had no grapes left. He had no grapes to eat or play with. He had no grapes to make disappear in his mouth and then show his tongue. He had no grapes to be proud of. He only had Max, who was licking his face and wagging his tail. + +Ben hugged Max and said, "Bad dog, bad dog, you ate my grapes. But I still love you, you are my friend. Next time, we will share, OK?" Max barked and licked his face again. He was sorry and happy. He liked Ben. He liked to eat and play with him. He liked to make him smile and then show his tongue. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for insects and put them in a jar. They found ants, beetles, and spiders. They were very happy. + +But then they saw a big insect with wings and a long tail. It was a dragonfly. Ben wanted to catch it and put it in the jar. Lily said no. She said the dragonfly was too big and too pretty. She said it needed to fly and be free. + +Ben did not listen. He ran after the dragonfly with the jar. He tried to catch it, but it was too fast. He chased it across the garden, but he could not get it. He got angry and sad. + +Lily followed him. She saw him sitting on the grass, holding the jar. He was quiet. She felt sorry for him. She went to him and gave him a hug. She said they had enough insects in the jar. She said they could let them go and watch them run and fly. + +Ben looked at her. He smiled. He said he was sorry. He said he liked the dragonfly, but he liked Lily more. They opened the jar and let the insects go. They watched them increase and disappear in the sun. They were happy. They held hands and went back to the house. +Tim and Mia were playing with their toys in the garden. They had many toys, but their favorite was a large, round ball. They liked to kick it, throw it, and roll it. + +"Look, Mia, I can kick the ball very high!" Tim said, and he kicked the ball with his foot. + +"Wow, Tim, you are very good!" Mia said, and she clapped her hands. + +But then, the ball flew over the fence and landed in the neighbor's garden. Tim and Mia ran to the fence and looked. They saw a big dog in the neighbor's garden. The dog saw the ball and ran to it. He picked it up with his mouth and started to chew it. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Tim shouted. "Give it back, dog!" + +But the dog did not listen. He wagged his tail and kept chewing the ball. + +"Tim, what can we do?" Mia asked. She was sad and scared. + +Tim thought for a moment. He had an idea. + +"Mia, I have a plan. You stay here and watch the dog. I will go and get another toy. Maybe the dog will like it more and trade it for our ball." + +"OK, Tim, hurry!" Mia said. + +Tim ran back to their toys and looked for something to trade. He saw a small, squeaky bone. He thought the dog might like it. He grabbed it and ran back to the fence. + +"Hey, dog, look what I have!" Tim said, and he squeezed the bone. It made a loud squeak. + +The dog heard the squeak and looked at Tim. He saw the bone and dropped the ball. He ran to the fence and barked. + +"Do you want this bone, dog?" Tim asked. "It is very fun and noisy. You can have it, but you have to give us our ball back. It belongs to us." + +The dog nodded and wagged his tail. He pushed the ball under the fence with his nose. Tim pushed the bone under the fence with his hand. The dog grabbed the bone and squeaked it happily. Tim and Mia grabbed the ball and hugged it. + +"Yay, we got our ball back!" Mia said. + +"Thank you, dog, for trading with us!" Tim said. + +The dog barked and licked the bone. He was happy too. + +Tim and Mia smiled and waved at the dog. Then they went back to playing with their ball. They were careful not to kick it too high again. They had learned their lesson. +Ben was walking in the park with his mom. He saw a pond with many ducks and fish. He wanted to see them closer, so he ran to the edge of the water. But he did not see a big rock and he tripped and fell into the pond. He was scared and wet and cold. He cried for his mom. + +A frog was sitting on a lily pad near Ben. He heard Ben's cry and he felt sorry for him. He swam to Ben and said, "Hello, little boy. Why are you crying? Do you need help?" + +Ben was surprised to hear the frog talk. He stopped crying and looked at the frog. He said, "Hello, frog. I fell into the pond and I can't get out. I'm helpless. Where is my mom?" + +The frog said, "Don't worry, little boy. I will help you. Grab my leg and I will pull you to the shore. Your mom is coming. She heard your cry too." + +Ben did what the frog said and he grabbed his leg. The frog was strong and he pulled Ben to the shore. Ben was happy and he thanked the frog. He said, "Thank you, frog. You are very kind and brave. You saved me." + +The frog said, "You're welcome, little boy. I'm glad you're safe. Now go to your mom and dry yourself. And be careful next time. The pond is not for you. It's for the ducks and the fish and the frogs." + +Ben nodded and he ran to his mom. His mom hugged him and kissed him. She said, "Ben, are you okay? I was so worried. How did you get out of the pond?" + +Ben said, "Mom, I met a frog and he talked to me and he helped me. He was my friend." + +His mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Ben. You met a very special frog. But you should always stay with me and not run away. The pond can be dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Ben said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you." + +His mom said, "I love you too, Ben. Now let's go home and change your clothes. And maybe we can read a book about frogs later." + +Ben said, "Yes, mom. That sounds fun. And maybe the frog will come to visit me again." + +The end. +Ben likes to play with his toys. He has many toys, but his favorite is his yacht. His yacht is big and blue and has a sail. He likes to make his yacht go fast in the water. + +One day, Ben wants to play with his yacht in the bath. He fills the bath with water and puts his yacht in. He blows on the sail and makes his yacht move. He is happy and laughs. + +But then, he sees a problem. His yacht is too big for the bath. It hits the sides and gets stuck. Ben tries to make his yacht go free, but it is difficult. He pushes and pulls, but his yacht does not move. He is sad and cries. + +Mom hears Ben cry and comes to see. She sees his yacht in the bath and understands. She says, "Ben, your yacht is too big for the bath. It is for the pool or the lake. Why don't we take it outside and play with it there?" + +Ben likes Mom's idea. He smiles and says, "Yes, please!" Mom helps him dry his yacht and take it outside. They go to the pool and put his yacht in. Ben blows on the sail and makes his yacht go fast in the water. He is happy and laughs. He says, "Thank you, Mom! I love my yacht!" Mom hugs him and says, "You're welcome, Ben! I love you!" +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play with fish. They have a big tank with many fish. The fish are red, blue, yellow and green. They swim and make bubbles. + +One day, Ben and Lily see that the tank is dirty. The water is cloudy and the glass is smudgy. The fish look sad. Ben and Lily want to help the fish. + +"Let's clean the tank," Ben says. "The fish will be happy." + +"OK," Lily says. "But the tank is heavy. How can we move it?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He sees a cart in the corner. The cart has wheels and a handle. He has an idea. + +"We can use the cart," Ben says. "We can put the tank on the cart and push it to the sink. Then we can change the water and wipe the glass." + +Lily likes the idea. She nods and smiles. They work together to lift the tank and put it on the cart. They are careful not to spill the water or hurt the fish. They push the cart to the sink. They use a cup to take out some of the old water and pour in some fresh water. They use a cloth to clean the glass. They make the tank shiny and clear. + +The fish look happy. They swim and make bubbles. They thank Ben and Lily with their fins. + +Ben and Lily are happy too. They hug each other and say, "We did it! We cleaned the tank!" + +They push the cart back to the spot where the tank belongs. They watch the fish and smile. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to act. They had a big stage in their backyard, where they put on shows for their family and friends. One day, they decided to do a play about a princess and a dragon. + +Lily wore a pink dress and a crown. She was the princess. Ben wore a green shirt and a mask. He was the dragon. They had a script that they made up, but they also liked to improvise. + +The play started with Lily sitting on a chair on the stage. She pretended to be sad and lonely. She said, "Oh, I wish I had a prince to love me and take me away from this castle." + +Then, Ben came out from behind a tree. He made a loud roar and said, "I am the dragon, and I have come to take you to my cave. You will be my dinner." + +Lily screamed and said, "Help, help, someone save me from this disgusting dragon." + +Ben ran towards Lily and tried to grab her. Lily ran away and dodged him. They chased each other around the stage, making noises and faces. + +Their family and friends watched and laughed. They clapped and cheered for Lily and Ben. They thought they were very funny and brave. + +But then, something went wrong. Ben tripped over a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and started to cry. Lily stopped running and saw him. She felt sorry for him and ran to him. + +She hugged him and said, "Are you okay, Ben? I'm sorry you fell. You're not a disgusting dragon. You're my brother and I love you." + +Ben sniffed and said, "I'm okay, Lily. I'm sorry I scared you. You're not a sad princess. You're my sister and I love you too." + +They smiled and hugged each other. Their family and friends clapped and cheered louder. They said, "That was the best play ever. You are both stars." + +Lily and Ben bowed and thanked them. They were happy and proud. They helped each other up and walked off the stage. They decided to do another play tomorrow. +Tom and Mia liked to help Mom in the kitchen. They put the dirty plates and cups in the dishwasher. They pushed the buttons to make it start. They watched the water and soap clean the dishes. + +One day, Mom had a surprise for them. She said, "Guess who is coming for dinner? Your favorite famous singer, Lily! She is my friend from school. She will sing a song for you after we eat." + +Tom and Mia were very happy and excited. They loved Lily's songs. They wanted to see her and talk to her. They asked Mom, "When will she come? What will she wear? Can we give her a hug?" + +Mom said, "She will come soon. She will wear a pretty dress. You can give her a hug, but be gentle. She is very nice, but also very shy." + +Tom and Mia waited by the door. They heard a knock. They opened the door. They saw Lily. She had long hair and a smile. She had a guitar in her hand. She said, "Hello, Tom and Mia. I'm so happy to meet you. You are Mom's helpers, right?" + +Tom and Mia nodded. They said, "Hello, Lily. We are your fans. We know all your songs. You are the best singer ever." + +Lily blushed. She said, "Thank you. You are very sweet. Can I come in? I brought you a gift." + +Tom and Mia said, "Yes, please. What is it?" + +Lily said, "It's a ball. It has my name and a star on it. Do you like to play catch?" + +Tom and Mia said, "Yes, we do. We love to play catch. Thank you, Lily. You are very kind." + +Lily said, "You're welcome. Let's go to the backyard. We can play catch before dinner. Maybe I can teach you a new song, too." + +Tom and Mia said, "Yay! Let's go. We can't wait." + +They followed Lily to the backyard. They played catch with the ball. They laughed and sang. They had a lot of fun. Mom watched them from the window. She smiled. She was glad they were happy. She was proud of her children and her friend. She thought, "This is a special day." +Lily liked to dance. She danced every day with her mom and dad. They played music and moved their feet and arms. Lily was a good dancer. She could count to ten and do ten steps. + +One day, Lily saw a big box in the living room. It had a picture of a dancer on it. Lily was curious. She asked her mom, "What is in the box?" + +Mom smiled and said, "It is a surprise for you, Lily. Do you want to open it?" + +Lily nodded and ran to the box. She tore the paper and lifted the lid. Inside was a beautiful doll. She had long hair and a pink dress. She had shoes that made noise when she walked. She had a button on her back. + +Lily pressed the button and the doll started to talk. She said, "Hello, I am Dolly. I am a dancer. Do you want to dance with me?" + +Lily was happy. She said, "Yes, I do. You are so pretty. Can you count to ten?" + +Dolly said, "Yes, I can. Let's count together. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Now let's dance." + +Lily and Dolly danced around the room. They made noise with their shoes. They spun and jumped and clapped. They had fun. + +But then, Lily tripped on a rug and fell. She dropped Dolly on the floor. Dolly's head cracked and her hair came off. Dolly stopped talking. + +Lily was sad. She cried and said, "Oh no, Dolly is broken. I broke her. I am sorry, Dolly." + +Mom came and hugged Lily. She said, "It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. Dolly is not broken. She is just a toy. We can fix her. We can glue her head and hair. She will be fine." + +Lily sniffed and said, "Really? Can you make her talk again?" + +Mom said, "Yes, I can. I have batteries. They make her talk. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and fix her." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. I love you and Dolly." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my little dancer." +Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat some potatoes. Mom said she would cook some for them. She put some water and potatoes in a big pot. She put the pot on the stove. + +"Be careful, kids. The stove is hot. It can burn you. Stay away from it," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They played with their toys in the living room. They waited for the potatoes to be ready. + +But Mom forgot about the pot. She was busy on the phone. The water boiled and boiled. The pot got very hot. The potatoes got very soft. The water spilled over the pot. It made a loud hiss. + +Lily and Tom heard the noise. They ran to the kitchen. They saw the pot. It was light and steamy. They smelled the potatoes. They were yummy. + +"Mom, Mom, the potatoes are done!" Lily shouted. + +Mom dropped the phone. She ran to the kitchen. She saw the mess. She was sorry. + +"Oh, no, I'm so sorry, kids. I was not careful. I let the pot burn. I hope the potatoes are still good," Mom said. + +She turned off the stove. She took the pot off the stove. She put it on the counter. She got a big spoon. She scooped some potatoes into a bowl. She added some butter and salt. She gave the bowl to Lily and Tom. + +"Here, kids. Try some potatoes. Be careful, they are hot. Blow on them first," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom took the bowl. They blew on the potatoes. They took a bite. They smiled. + +"Mmm, these potatoes are good, Mom. Thank you," Lily said. + +"Yes, thank you, Mom. They are light and fluffy," Tom said. + +Mom smiled too. She hugged them. + +"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you like them. I'm sorry I burned the pot. I'll clean it later. Now, let's eat some potatoes together," Mom said. + +They ate some potatoes together. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the park with their moms. The park has a big playground and a long trail. + +"Let's go on the trail!" Ben says. "We can see the birds and the flowers." + +"OK!" Anna says. She likes the trail too. They hold hands and follow their moms. + +The trail is quiet and pretty. They see many trees and rocks. They hear the birds singing and the wind blowing. They smell the grass and the dirt. + +"Look, a squirrel!" Anna points. The squirrel is brown and fluffy. It runs up a tree and looks at them. + +"Hi, squirrel!" Ben says. He waves. The squirrel waves back. + +"Wow, he is friendly!" Anna says. She smiles. + +"Maybe he wants a nut," Ben says. He looks in his pocket. He has a nut from his snack. + +"Can I give him the nut?" Ben asks his mom. + +"Sure, but be careful," his mom says. "Don't get too close. He might be scared." + +Ben nods. He walks slowly to the tree. He holds out the nut. The squirrel comes down. He takes the nut and runs away. + +"Bye, squirrel!" Ben says. He is happy. + +"That was fun!" Anna says. She is happy too. + +"I recommend this trail," Ben says. "It has nice animals." + +"I agree," Anna says. "It is a good trail." + +They hug and keep walking. They enjoy the trail. They are good friends. +Lily was a little rabbit who loved to hop. She hopped all over the meadow, looking for carrots and flowers. One day, she saw a big shadow on the ground. She looked up and saw a terrible hawk. The hawk had sharp claws and a hungry beak. It wanted to catch Lily and eat her. + +Lily was very scared. She hopped as fast as she could, but the hawk was faster. It flew after her, swooping and screeching. Lily looked for a place to hide. She saw a big bush with many leaves. She hopped under the bush and hoped the hawk would not see her. + +The hawk did not give up. It circled around the bush, looking for a gap. It saw a small hole and dived in. Lily heard the hawk coming and squeaked. She saw another hole on the other side of the bush. She hopped out of the hole and ran away. + +She ran until she reached her home. Her home was a cozy burrow under a big tree. She hopped inside and saw her mother. Her mother was a kind and gentle rabbit. She hugged Lily and asked her what happened. + +Lily told her mother about the terrible hawk and how she escaped. Her mother was very proud of her. She said, "You are a brave and smart rabbit, Lily. You hopped under the bush and out of the hole. You saved yourself from the hawk. I love you, Lily." + +Lily felt happy and safe. She said, "I love you too, mother. Thank you for being here for me." She snuggled with her mother and fell asleep. She dreamed of hopping in the meadow again, but this time without any hawks. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, join me on the slide. It is fun!" Anna says. + +"No, thank you. The slide is too high. I like the swings better." Ben says. + +Anna goes on the slide by herself. She slides down fast and laughs. She likes the wind in her hair. She runs back to the top of the slide and slides down again. + +Ben watches Anna from the swings. He sees that she is having fun. He thinks maybe the slide is not so scary after all. He gets off the swing and walks to the slide. + +"Anna, can I join you on the slide?" Ben asks. + +"Of course, Ben. I am happy you changed your mind. The slide is more fun with a friend." Anna says. + +Ben and Anna go on the slide together. They hold hands and slide down fast. They laugh and scream. They like the slide very much. + +After they go on the slide many times, they are hungry. They go to the bench where their moms are waiting for them. Their moms have sandwiches and juice for them. + +"Yummy, thank you, mom!" Anna and Ben say. + +They eat their sandwiches and drink their juice. They are happy and full. + +They look at their feet and see that they have the same shoes. They have red shoes with stars on them. + +"Hey, we have the same shoes!" Anna says. + +"That is cool. We are shoe twins!" Ben says. + +They giggle and show their shoes to their moms. Their moms smile and hug them. + +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to join each other on the slide. They like to have the same shoes. They are happy. +Anna liked to play with her toys in the bathtub. She had a duck, a frog, a boat and a cup. She made the duck and the frog talk to each other and splash in the water. She filled the cup with water and poured it on the boat to make it sail. She was having fun. + +But then her mom came and said, "Anna, it's time to get out of the bathtub. You have been in there for a long time. You need to dry off and put on your pajamas." + +Anna did not want to get out of the bathtub. She wanted to play more. She said, "No, mom, I want to stay in the bathtub. Please, mom, just a little more." + +Her mom said, "No, Anna, you have to get out now. The water is getting cold and you will catch a cold. Come on, I have a towel for you and a glass of milk." + +Anna still did not want to get out. She said, "No, mom, I don't like milk. Milk is bitter. I want juice. And I want to play in the bathtub." + +Her mom said, "Anna, stop being stubborn. Milk is good for you and juice is too sweet. And you have played enough in the bathtub. You can play with your toys tomorrow. Now, get out or I will take them away." + +Anna did not like her mom's words. She felt angry and sad. She did not want to lose her toys. She did not want to drink bitter milk. She did not want to get out of the bathtub. But she knew her mom was serious. She knew her mom loved her and wanted her to be healthy and happy. She decided to listen to her mom. She said, "Okay, mom, I will get out of the bathtub. But can I have a hug and a kiss?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Anna, you can have a hug and a kiss. I love you, Anna. You are my good girl." She helped Anna get out of the bathtub, wrapped her in a towel, gave her a hug and a kiss, and took her to her room. She gave her a glass of milk and a cookie, and helped her put on her pajamas. She read her a story and tucked her in bed. She said, "Good night, Anna. Sweet dreams." + +Anna said, "Good night, mom. I love you, too. Thank you for the cookie. It was not bitter. It was yummy." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of her toys in the bathtub. She was happy. +Lily and Max were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing, and run. They had a lot of fun. But they also got very tired. Mom said, "It's time to go home and nap. You need to rest your eyes and body." + +Lily and Max did not want to nap. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, mom, no nap. We are not sleepy. We are happy." Mom said, "Please, Lily and Max, listen to me. Napping is good for you. You will feel better and have more energy later." + +But Lily and Max did not listen. They ran away from mom. They crossed the street without looking. They did not see the big ambulance coming fast. The ambulance had a loud siren and a bright light. It was going to help someone who was sick. But Lily and Max did not hear or see it. They ran right in front of it. + +The ambulance hit Lily and Max. They fell down hard. They felt a lot of pain. They cried and screamed. Mom saw what happened. She was very scared and sad. She ran to them and hugged them. She said, "Oh, Lily and Max, I'm so sorry. I love you so much. Why didn't you listen to me?" + +The ambulance driver stopped and got out. He was very sorry too. He said, "I'm so sorry, ma'am. I tried to stop, but it was too late. I didn't see them. Are they okay?" Mom said, "I don't know. They are hurt. They need help. Please, take them to the hospital." + +The ambulance driver put Lily and Max on a stretcher. He put them in the back of the ambulance. He said, "Don't worry, ma'am. I'll take them to the hospital as fast as I can. They will get the best care. I hope they will be okay." Mom got in the ambulance too. She held Lily and Max's hands. She prayed for them. + +The ambulance drove away. It left the park. The park was pretty. It had flowers, trees, and birds. But Lily and Max did not see them. They did not play anymore. They did not nap. They did not smile. They were very sorry. They wished they had listened to mom. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your mom. She knows what is best for you. Napping is good for you. Crossing the street is dangerous. Playing is fun, but not when you are tired. Be careful and be safe. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to look at the sky. She saw the moon shining bright and wanted to touch it. She asked her mom, "Can I try to touch the moon?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "No, Lily, the moon is very far away. You can't reach it with your hands. But you can look at it and admire it." + +Lily was not happy. She wanted to try anyway. She climbed on a chair and stretched her arms. She jumped and jumped, but she could not touch the moon. She fell down and hurt her knee. She cried and cried. + +Her mom came and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily, you hurt yourself. But you can't touch the moon, no matter how hard you try. It's not for us to touch, it's for us to enjoy. The moon is beautiful, but it's also dangerous. It can make you fall and get hurt. You have to be careful and listen to me." + +Lily stopped crying and looked at her mom. She said, "I'm sorry, mom, I didn't listen to you. I was curious, but I was also silly. I don't want to touch the moon anymore. I just want to look at it and love it." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "That's good, Lily. I'm proud of you. You learned a lesson today. Curiosity is good, but you have to be wise and respectful. The moon is a gift, not a toy. You can look at it and love it, but you can't touch it and own it." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you and I love the moon." + +The end. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big road with many cars. They want to cross the road and go to the park. + +"Wait, Lily, wait!" Sam says. "The road is not safe. We need to look and listen before we cross." + +Lily nods. She holds Sam's hand. They look left and right. They listen for cars. They see a green light. They cross the road quickly. + +In the park, they see many flowers. They are yellow, red, blue, and pink. Lily likes pink. She picks a pink flower and gives it to Sam. + +"Thank you, Lily. This is a pretty flower. You are a good friend." Sam says. He smiles. + +Lily smiles too. She picks another pink flower and puts it in her hair. They run and play in the park. They are happy. +Lily was a small sheep who liked to play with her friends in the meadow. She was very curious and sometimes wandered away from the flock. One day, she saw a shiny thing in the bushes and decided to go and see what it was. + +"Where are you going, Lily?" asked her friend Ben, who was a big sheep. + +"I want to see the shiny thing. Maybe it is a treasure!" said Lily. + +"Be careful, Lily. Don't go too far. The shepherd might not see you and you could get lost," warned Ben. + +But Lily did not listen. She ran to the bushes and found a silver necklace with a blue stone. She put it around her neck and felt very happy. She thought she looked like a princess. + +She did not notice that the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark. She did not hear the shepherd calling for the sheep to go back to the barn. She did not see the shadow of a wolf creeping behind her. + +Suddenly, the wolf jumped out of the bushes and tried to catch Lily. Lily was very scared and ran as fast as she could. She cried for help, but no one heard her. She wished she had stayed with her friends and listened to Ben. + +She ran and ran until she reached a big rock. She hid behind it and hoped the wolf would not find her. She looked at the necklace and wished it had some magic power to make her vanish. + +To her surprise, the necklace started to glow and the blue stone sparkled. Lily felt a strange sensation and then she disappeared. The wolf could not see her or smell her. He was confused and angry. He gave up and went away. + +Lily was relieved and happy. She thanked the necklace for saving her. She realized that it was a magic necklace that could make her vanish when she was in danger. She also realized that she had been very foolish and naughty. She decided to go back to her friends and the shepherd and never wander away again. + +She took off the necklace and put it back in the bushes. She hoped that someone else who needed it would find it. She ran back to the meadow and saw the shepherd and the flock. They were looking for her and they were very worried. + +"Lily, where have you been? We were so scared for you!" said Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was very silly and greedy. I went to see a shiny thing and got lost. A wolf chased me, but a magic necklace made me vanish and saved me," said Lily. + +"A magic necklace? That sounds like a fairy tale," said Ben. + +"It's true, Ben. But I learned my lesson. The shiny thing was not worth it. The best treasure is to have good friends and a good shepherd who care for me," said Lily. + +She hugged Ben and the shepherd and they all went back to the barn. Lily was happy and grateful. She never forgot the magic necklace and the day she vanished. She always stayed with her friends and listened to them. She grew up to be a wise and kind sheep. +Tom and Lily wanted to sell some lemonade to the people who walked by their house. They had a big jug of lemonade and some cups. They also made a sign that said "Lemonade 5 cents". + +They put the jug, the cups and the sign on a table near the sidewalk. They waited for customers. They hoped to make some money. + +Soon, a man came by. He saw the sign and smiled. He said, "Hello, kids. I would like some lemonade, please." + +Tom and Lily were happy. They prepared a cup of lemonade for the man. They gave it to him and said, "That will be 5 cents, please." + +The man took the cup and drank the lemonade. He said, "Mmm, this is very good lemonade. Thank you, kids." He reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He gave it to Tom and Lily. + +Tom and Lily looked at the coin. It was very big and shiny. It had a 10 on it. They did not know what it meant. They thought it was a very special coin. They said, "Wow, thank you, sir. This is a very nice coin." + +The man smiled and said, "You're welcome, kids. That's a dime. It's worth 10 cents. You can buy two cups of lemonade with it." + +Tom and Lily were confused. They said, "But our lemonade is only 5 cents. Why did you give us 10 cents?" + +The man said, "Because I liked your lemonade so much. And because you are very cute and polite. And because I wanted to give you a tip. A tip is extra money that you give to someone who does a good job." + +Tom and Lily did not understand what a tip was. They thought the man was silly. They said, "Thank you, sir. But we don't need a tip. We have enough money. You can have your coin back." + +The man laughed and said, "No, no, kids. You keep the coin. It's yours. You earned it. You can buy something else with it. Or you can save it for later. It's up to you." + +Tom and Lily thanked the man again. They put the coin in a jar. They wondered what they could buy with it. They decided to save it for something special. They hoped to get more customers and more coins. They were happy. They liked selling lemonade. +Lila and Tom are squirrels who live in a big tree. They like to play and find nuts to eat. One day, they see a new squirrel in their tree. He is brown and has a long tail. He looks at them with big eyes. + +"Who are you?" Lila asks. + +"I am Sam. I come from another tree. I am looking for a new home," Sam says. + +"Why did you leave your tree?" Tom asks. + +"Because a big dog came and scared all the squirrels away. He barked and chased us. It was very bad," Sam says. + +Lila and Tom feel sorry for Sam. They know how it feels to be scared and alone. + +"Do you want to stay with us?" Lila asks. + +"Really? Can I?" Sam asks. + +"Sure. We have a lot of nuts and a cozy nest. We can be friends," Tom says. + +"Thank you. You are very kind," Sam says. + +Lila and Tom smile and lead Sam to their nest. They share their nuts and tell him stories. Sam feels happy and safe. He has found a new home and new friends. +Lily and Max were playing with bubbles in the park. They had a big bottle of soap and a wand with a hole. They dipped the wand in the soap and blew gently. Out came many bubbles that floated in the air. Lily and Max laughed and clapped as they chased the bubbles. + +"Look, Max, a big bubble!" Lily said, pointing to a shiny sphere that was bigger than her head. She ran towards it, hoping to catch it. But the bubble was too high for her to reach. She jumped and stretched her arms, but she could not touch it. + +"Here, Lily, I'll help you," Max said. He was taller than Lily, and he had an idea. He ran behind Lily and leaned on her back. He pushed her gently, so she could go higher. Lily felt Max's weight on her and smiled. She leaned on him too, and together they rose a little bit more. + +"Pop!" Lily and Max heard a loud sound as they touched the big bubble. It burst into many tiny bubbles that sprinkled them with soap. Lily and Max giggled and hugged each other. They were wet and sticky, but they were happy. + +"Thank you, Max, you are very generous," Lily said. "You helped me catch the big bubble." + +"You're welcome, Lily, you are very generous too," Max said. "You shared your soap and wand with me." + +Lily and Max smiled and decided to make more bubbles. They dipped the wand in the soap and blew gently. Out came many bubbles that floated in the air. Lily and Max laughed and clapped as they chased the bubbles. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big box in the yard. Inside the box, there were many toys and clothes. Lily and Tom were very happy and started to look at them. + +Lily saw a pair of gloves that were shiny and soft. They had stars and moons on them. Lily liked them very much and put them on her hands. She saw that the gloves could glow in the dark. She felt like a fairy. + +Tom saw a car that was red and fast. It had wheels and lights and a horn. Tom liked it very much and pushed it on the ground. He heard that the car could make noises. He felt like a racer. + +Lily and Tom played with their new things for a while. Then they wanted to see what the other had. Lily asked Tom if she could try the car. Tom said no. He said it was his car and he did not want to share. He was selfish. + +Tom asked Lily if he could try the gloves. Lily said no. She said they were her gloves and she did not want to share. She was selfish. + +Lily and Tom got angry and started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not have fun anymore. They felt sad and lonely. + +Then their mom came and saw them. She was not happy. She said they should not be selfish. She said they should share and be kind. She said they had many things to play with and they could have more fun together. + +Lily and Tom felt sorry and hugged each other. They said they were sorry and they loved each other. They decided to share and take turns. They gave each other their things and tried them. They saw that the car and the gloves were both fun and cool. They smiled and laughed and played. They felt happy and friendly. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. Sometimes they help Mom and Dad with chores. Today they want to help Mom make a meal. + +Mom says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You can help me wash the vegetables and set the table. But be careful, don't be clumsy." + +Lily and Ben nod. They go to the sink and wash the carrots and lettuce. They think they are doing a good job. They dry the vegetables with a towel and put them in a bowl. + +Then they go to the table and get the plates and forks. They try to be careful, but Ben is clumsy. He drops a plate and it breaks. He says, "Oh no, I'm sorry, Mom. I broke a plate." + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the table. She sees the broken plate and the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Ben, what did you do? You were clumsy. You have to be more careful. Now we have one less plate and a lot of shards to clean up." + +Ben feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to break the plate. I was trying to help." + +Mom sighs. She says, "It's okay, Ben. I know you were trying to help. But next time, please be more careful. And don't touch the shards, they are sharp. Let me clean them up." + +Lily hugs Ben. She says, "Don't be sad, Ben. It was an accident. Mom still loves you. And we still have a meal to eat." + +Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. And you are not clumsy." + +They hug each other and wait for Mom to finish cleaning. Then they sit down and enjoy the meal. They think it is delicious. They thank Mom for making it. Mom smiles and says, "You're welcome, Lily and Ben. You are good helpers. And I love you both." +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But they do not like to clean up their toys when they are done. They leave them on the floor, on the bed, and on the table. + +One day, their mom comes to their room and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Sara and Ben, you have to clean up your toys. This is your room, not a dump. If you do not clean up, you will not get any dessert tonight. Do you understand?" She gives them a lecture. + +Sara and Ben nod, but they do not want to clean up. They think they are clever. They have an idea. They say, "Mom, can we close the door? We want to surprise you with how clean our room will be." + +Mom smiles and says, "Okay, but you have to hurry. Dinner will be ready soon." She closes the door and goes to the kitchen. + +Sara and Ben do not clean up. They hide their toys under the bed, in the closet, and in the drawers. They think mom will not see them. They laugh and say, "We are so clever. We tricked mom. Now we can have dessert." + +But they are wrong. Mom is clever too. She knows they did not clean up. She opens the door and sees the toys sticking out. She is very angry. She says, "Sara and Ben, you lied to me. You did not clean up. You hid your toys. That is not nice. That is naughty. You will not get any dessert. You will go to bed early. And you will clean up your room tomorrow. No more toys for you until you learn to be responsible." + +Sara and Ben cry. They are not clever. They are sorry. But it is too late. They have to go to bed without dessert. They have a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were playing pretend in the garden. They had a big box that they said was a spaceship. They put on their helmets and gloves and got ready to blast off. + +"Five, four, three, two, one, go!" Lily shouted. She pushed a button and made a loud noise with her mouth. "We are flying to the moon!" + +Ben nodded and looked out of the window. He saw the flowers and the trees and the birds. He pretended they were stars and planets and aliens. He smiled and said, "Wow, look at that green one! It has a long nose and a tail!" + +Lily turned and saw what Ben was pointing at. It was not an alien. It was Mr. Green's dog, Rex. Rex was big and black and liked to bark. Lily did not like Rex. She was scared of him. She said, "Oh no, Ben, that's not an alien. That's Rex. He is mean and he bites. We have to hide!" + +But it was too late. Rex had seen them and ran towards them. He jumped on the box and tore it apart. He growled and snapped at Lily and Ben. They screamed and ran away. Rex chased them and caught Ben's toe. He bit it hard and made it bleed. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "He bit my toe! It hurts! It's bitter!" + +Lily ran back and threw a stick at Rex. Rex let go of Ben's toe and ran after the stick. Lily helped Ben up and they ran to the house. They knocked on the door and Mom opened it. She saw their faces and their clothes and Ben's toe. She said, "Oh, my, what happened to you two?" + +Lily and Ben told her everything. Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, sweeties. That was a bad dog. Come on, let's clean your toe and put a band-aid on it. And no more playing pretend in the garden, okay?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Mom." + +They went inside and Mom took care of them. They learned their lesson. They decided to play pretend in their room instead. They said, "Maybe next time we can pretend we are pirates or cowboys or superheroes. But not astronauts. Spaceships are too dangerous." +Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has a pink dress with flowers. Anna likes to dress Lily and comb her hair. + +One day, Anna's mom says, "We are going to the park, Anna. Do you want to bring Lily with you?" Anna nods and hugs Lily. She puts Lily in her backpack and follows her mom. + +At the park, Anna sees a big slide. She wants to try it. She tells her mom, "I want to slide, mom. Can I?" Her mom says, "Yes, you can, but be careful. And don't forget Lily in your backpack." + +Anna runs to the slide. She climbs the steps and sits on the top. She feels excited and scared. She holds the sides and pushes herself down. She goes very fast and feels the wind in her face. She laughs and screams. + +But when she reaches the bottom, she hears a rip. She looks at her backpack and sees a hole. Lily's dress is stuck in the slide. Anna feels sad and angry. She says, "Oh no, Lily's dress! It's broken!" She tries to pull Lily out, but the dress is too tight. + +She cries and calls her mom. Her mom comes and sees what happened. She says, "Don't worry, Anna. We can fix Lily's dress. It's not a big problem. Let's go home and get some scissors and thread." + +She helps Anna to free Lily from the slide. She hugs Anna and Lily and says, "You are both brave and strong. I love you." Anna feels better and says, "I love you too, mom. And I love Lily. She is my best friend." +Lily was a curious girl. She liked to hear new things and see new things. One day, she heard a strange thing in the garden. It was not a bird or a bug or a cat. It was a soft, low sound, like a hum. + +Lily wanted to find out what it was. She put on her shoes and went outside. She followed the sound to a big, green bush. She moved the leaves and saw a small, shiny thing. It was round and had wings and a long tail. It was humming and glowing. + +Lily was amazed. She reached out her hand to touch the thing. But the thing was shy. It flew away quickly and hid behind a flower. Lily smiled and said, "Hello, thing. Don't be scared. I want to be your friend." + +The thing peeked out from the flower. It saw Lily's friendly face and heard her kind voice. It felt brave and curious too. It flew closer to Lily and landed on her finger. It tickled her skin and made her giggle. + +Lily and the thing became friends. They played and talked and learned from each other. Lily named the thing Buzz. Buzz taught Lily about the stars and the moon. Lily taught Buzz about the songs and the stories. They were happy and curious together. +Sara and Tom are playing with blocks. Sara likes to make tall towers. Tom likes to knock them down. Sara gets angry at Tom. + +"Stop, Tom! Stop!" Sara says. "You are not nice. You are bossy. You break my towers." + +Tom laughs. He does not stop. He knocks down another tower. Sara cries. She does not want to play with Tom. + +"Tom, stop!" Mom says. She hears Sara cry. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the blocks on the floor. She sees Tom's smile. She sees Sara's tears. + +"Tom, you need to say sorry to Sara. You need to share the blocks. You need to be kind. If you are not, you will go to your room." Mom says. + +Tom does not like Mom's words. He does not like to say sorry. He does not like to share. He does not like to be kind. He wants to be bossy. He wants to do what he wants. + +"No, Mom! No!" Tom says. He runs to the other side of the room. He picks up more blocks. He throws them at Sara. + +Mom is very mad. She grabs Tom's arm. She takes him to his room. She closes the door. + +"Tom, you are in time out. You will stay here until you are ready to be nice. You will not play with blocks until you are sorry." Mom says. + +Tom is very sad. He does not like his room. He does not like time out. He does not like Mom. He wishes he was nice to Sara. He wishes he could play with blocks. He wishes he could say sorry. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house with a fence. The house has many windows and a big door. Lila and Tom think the house is very pretty. + +"Who lives in the house?" Lila asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone rich," Tom says. + +"Can we go and see?" Lila says. + +Tom shakes his head. "No, we can't. The fence is too high. And maybe the people in the house don't like visitors." + +Lila feels sad. She wants to see the house. She sees a hole in the fence. She runs to the hole and looks through. She sees a garden with flowers and a swing. She smiles. + +"Tom, look! There is a garden!" Lila says. + +Tom runs to the hole and looks through. He sees the garden too. He also smiles. + +"Wow, it's so nice!" Tom says. + +They hear a voice. It is a girl. She is in the garden. She has long hair and a pink dress. She sees Lila and Tom. + +"Hello, who are you?" the girl says. + +Lila and Tom are scared. They think the girl will be angry. + +"Hello, we are Lila and Tom. We are sorry. We just wanted to see the house," Lila says. + +The girl smiles. She is not angry. She is friendly. + +"That's okay. I'm Mia. This is my house. Do you want to play with me?" Mia says. + +Lila and Tom are surprised. They nod. + +"Yes, please. We want to play with you," Tom says. + +Mia opens the gate. She holds out her hand. + +"Come on, then. Follow me. I have many toys and books. We can have fun," Mia says. + +Lila and Tom take Mia's hand. They go into the garden. They are happy. They have a new friend. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. But sometimes they fight. They fight over toys, books, and snacks. Mom and Dad are not happy when they fight. + +One day, Mom and Dad have a surprise for Anna and Ben. They say, "We are going on a trip for one week. We will see the zoo, the park, and the beach. Do you want to go?" Anna and Ben are very excited. They love animals, swings, and sand. They say, "Yes, yes, yes!" + +They pack their bags and get in the car. They sing songs and play games on the way. They do not fight at all. Mom and Dad are very happy. They say, "You are being very good. We are proud of you." + +But when they get to the hotel, it is raining. The sky is gray and the wind is strong. They cannot go to the zoo, the park, or the beach. They have to stay in the room. Anna and Ben are very sad. They say, "This is not fun. This is boring." + +They start to fight again. They fight over the TV, the bed, and the crayons. Mom and Dad are not happy. They say, "Stop fighting. This is not nice. We have to make the best of it." + +They try to find something fun to do in the room. They read books, play cards, and make puppets. They tell jokes, make faces, and tickle each other. They laugh and hug and say sorry. Mom and Dad are happy. They say, "You are being very good. We love you." + +The next day, the sun comes out. The sky is blue and the birds are singing. They can go to the zoo, the park, and the beach. They see lions, monkeys, and penguins. They slide, swing, and climb. They build castles, dig holes, and splash. They have a lot of fun. They do not fight at all. Mom and Dad are happy. They say, "This is the best surprise ever. You are the best twins ever." +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they found a big doll in the park. The doll had long hair and a pretty dress. Tom and Lily wanted to play with the doll. + +"Can I hold the doll first?" Lily asked. + +"No, I saw her first. She is mine!" Tom said. + +They both pulled the doll and fought over her. The doll's hair and dress got torn and dirty. Tom and Lily did not care. They were too jealous of each other. + +A lady was walking her dog in the park. She saw Tom and Lily and the doll. She was sad and angry. + +"Stop that! You are hurting the doll!" the lady said. "She is not yours. She is mine. I lost her yesterday. She was a gift from my mom. She is very old and special. You made her rot!" + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They did not know the doll was the lady's. They let go of the doll and said sorry. + +The lady picked up the doll and hugged her. She thanked Tom and Lily for finding her. She said they could play with her sometimes, but they had to be gentle and kind. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned to share and not be jealous. They became friends with the lady and the doll. They played and drew pictures together. They were happy. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys, but they did not like to do their work. Their work was to help Mom and Dad with the house. They had to clean their room, put away their clothes, and wash their dishes. But Tom and Sam were naughty. They did not do their work. They hid their toys under the bed, threw their clothes on the floor, and left their dishes on the table. + +One day, Mom and Dad came home from their work. They were tired and hungry. They saw the mess that Tom and Sam had made. They were angry and sad. They said to Tom and Sam, "Why did you not do your work? You are naughty boys. You do not value our work. You do not value our home. You do not value our love. You have to learn to do your work and be good boys." + +Tom and Sam felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We will do our work and be good boys. Please do not be angry and sad. We value your work. We value our home. We value your love." But Mom and Dad did not believe them. They said, "You have said that before, but you did not do it. You have to show us that you mean it. You have to do your work every day. And you have to give us your toys. You do not deserve to play with them. You have to earn them back by doing your work and being good boys." + +Tom and Sam cried. They did not want to give up their toys. They loved their toys. They begged Mom and Dad to let them keep their toys. But Mom and Dad did not listen. They took away their toys and put them in a box. They said, "You will get your toys back when you do your work and be good boys for a long time. Until then, you have to stay in your room and think about what you have done. You have to learn your lesson. You have to value your work and our work. You have to value our home and our love. You have to be good boys and not naughty boys." + +Tom and Sam stayed in their room. They had no toys to play with. They had nothing to do. They were bored and sad. They wished they had done their work and been good boys. They wished they had valued their work and their parents' work. They wished they had valued their home and their parents' love. They wished they had their toys back. But it was too late. They had been naughty boys and they had to pay the price. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Lily were very enthusiastic to go to the park. They put on their shoes and coats and ran to the door. But Mom said, "Wait, wait, you need to buckle your seat belts first." + +Tom and Lily climbed into the car and Mom helped them buckle their seat belts. Then Mom got in the driver's seat and started the car. She drove to the park, but there was a lot of traffic on the road. Tom and Lily looked out the window and saw many cars and trucks and buses. + +"Mom, can you speed up?" Tom asked. "We want to get to the park soon." + +"Sorry, Tom, I can't speed up. We have to follow the rules and be safe. We will get to the park soon, don't worry," Mom said. + +Lily sighed and said, "I wish we could fly like the birds. They don't have to wait in traffic." + +Tom nodded and said, "Me too. But maybe we can swing like the monkeys when we get to the park. That will be fun." + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, that will be fun. Look, we are almost there. I see the sign for the park. Are you ready to have some fun?" + +Tom and Lily cheered and said, "Yes, yes, we are ready!" + +Mom parked the car and unbuckled their seat belts. Then they got out of the car and ran to the park. They were very enthusiastic to play on the swings, the slide, the sandbox, and the seesaw. They had a lot of fun at the park. +Anna loved pumpkins. She liked to look at them, touch them, and carve them with her mom. She wanted to have a pumpkin for Halloween, but her mom said they had to wait until October. + +One day, Anna saw a big, orange pumpkin at the store. She ran to it and hugged it. It was soft and round. She looked at her mom and said, "Please, please, can I have this pumpkin?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "This is a special pumpkin, Anna. It is not for carving. It is for making pie. Do you like pumpkin pie?" + +Anna nodded. She liked pumpkin pie. It was sweet and spicy. She said, "Yes, I like pumpkin pie. But I also want a pumpkin for Halloween." + +Her mom said, "Don't worry, Anna. We will get a pumpkin for Halloween later. But today, we can buy this pumpkin and make a pie together. How does that sound?" + +Anna thought for a moment. She still wanted a pumpkin for Halloween, but she also wanted to make a pie with her mom. She said, "Okay, mom. I request this pumpkin for pie. But can we make it look like a face?" + +Her mom laughed and said, "Sure, Anna. We can make it look like a face. But we have to use a knife, not a spoon. And we have to be careful, not to cut ourselves. Are you ready?" + +Anna said, "Yes, mom. I'm ready. Let's go home and make a pumpkin face pie!" +Ben was a grumpy boy. He did not like to share his toys with his sister, Lily. He wanted to play with his train and his car and his ball by himself. Lily wanted to play with him, but he said no. + +One day, Lily saw Ben's train on the floor. She picked it up and made it go choo-choo. Ben saw her and got very angry. He ran to her and tried to take the train from her. Lily held on tight and said no. + +Ben and Lily pulled and pulled the train. They both wanted it. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stop and be nice. Then, Ben did a bad thing. He let go of the train and struck Lily on the head. Lily cried out loud. She dropped the train and held her head. + +Mom heard Lily cry and came to see what happened. She saw Ben's train on the floor and Lily's head with a red mark. She knew what Ben did. She was very cross with him. She picked up Lily and hugged her. She told Ben to go to his room and think about what he did. She said he could not play with his train or his car or his ball for the rest of the day. + +Ben felt sorry for what he did. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He was just grumpy and wanted his train. He wished he could say sorry to Lily and play with her. He learned that striking is not nice and sharing is better. He hoped Lily would forgive him and be his friend again. He waited in his room for mom to come and talk to him. He was not grumpy anymore. He was sad and lonely. He wanted to be quick and make things right. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But then they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. Lily and Tom were scared. + +"Tom, hurry!" Lily said. "We have to go to Mommy!" + +They ran to the bench where Mommy was sitting. They held her hand and hid behind her. The dog stopped and sniffed them. Then it wagged its tail and licked them. + +"Hi, doggy!" Tom said. He touched the dog's fur. It was soft and warm. + +"Hello, kids!" a man said. He was the dog's owner. He smiled and said sorry. "Don't be scared. His name is Spot. He is very friendly. He just wanted to say hello." + +Lily and Tom felt better. They said hello to Spot and the man. They petted the dog and gave him a treat. Spot was happy. He licked them again. + +But then Lily felt something on her arm. It was a red spot. It was itchy. She scratched it. + +"Ow!" she said. "What is this?" + +Mommy looked at her arm. She frowned. + +"Oh, no!" she said. "You have a flea bite. Spot must have some fleas. We have to go home and wash it." + +Lily and Tom said goodbye to Spot and the man. They thanked them for the treat. They went home with Mommy. They washed their arms and put some cream on them. The itch went away. They were not scared anymore. They were happy. They liked Spot. They hoped to see him again. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom in the garden. They liked to pick flowers, fruits and vegetables and put them in a basket. One day, they saw a big bunch of grapes hanging from a vine. They wanted to pick them and make wine, like their mom sometimes did. + +"Let's pick the grapes, Ben!" Lily said. "They look yummy and juicy!" + +"OK, Lily!" Ben said. "But we have to be careful. The vine is very high and the grapes are heavy." + +They climbed on a ladder and reached for the grapes. But the ladder was not very stable and the grapes were too many. The ladder wobbled and the grapes fell on the ground. Lily and Ben also fell, but they landed on the soft grass. + +"Ouch!" Lily said. "That hurt!" + +"Are you OK, Lily?" Ben asked. He was compassionate and worried about his sister. + +"I'm OK, Ben. But look at the grapes. They are all squished and dirty. We can't make wine now." + +They felt sad and sorry. They had wasted the grapes and made a mess. + +Their mom came and saw what happened. She was not angry, but she was disappointed. + +"Lily and Ben, what did you do?" she asked. "You know you should not pick the grapes without asking me. They are not ready yet. And you should not climb on the ladder without me. You could have hurt yourself." + +"We're sorry, mom," Lily and Ben said. "We wanted to make wine for you. We thought the grapes were good." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I appreciate your intention, but you should not do things without thinking. You should be patient and careful. And you should respect the plants and the fruits. They are gifts from nature, not toys." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We understand, mom. We will be more patient and careful and respectful. And we will help you clean up the mess." + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's good, my darlings. I love you very much. And I'm sure we will have some wine later, when the grapes are ripe and we pick them together." +Ben and Jen were twins who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could make houses, cars, towers and more with their blocks. They had fun with their blocks every day. + +One day, they saw a big pile of lumber near their house. Lumber was wood that people used to make things. Ben and Jen thought lumber was like big blocks. They wanted to play with lumber. They did not care that lumber was not for them. They did not care that lumber could hurt them. + +They ran to the pile of lumber and started to pull and push. They tried to make a modern house with lumber. A modern house was a house that looked new and had many windows. They saw a modern house on TV and liked it. They wanted to make one with lumber. + +But lumber was not like blocks. Lumber was heavy and sharp. Lumber did not fit together well. Lumber fell and broke. Lumber made noise and dust. Lumber made Ben and Jen sad and scared. + +Soon, a man came and saw Ben and Jen. He was angry and shouted. He was the owner of the lumber. He was building a modern house with the lumber. He did not want Ben and Jen to play with his lumber. He told them to go away and never come back. He took away their blocks and threw them in the trash.

Timmy saw something strange in the water. He asked his mom, "What's that?" His mom replied, "It's a jellyfish. It's so slimy!" + +They went to the shore and looked more closely at the jellyfish. It had long, slimy tentacles and some colorful spots. Timmy thought it was so cool and wanted to touch it, but his mom said, "No! It could be dangerous. You mustn't use it!" + +Timmy asked why, and his mom said, "Because jellyfish can give you a nasty sting! Even though their colors are pretty, they can be really disgusting!"

Then we can try to get the lemon back," he said. + +The boys waited patiently as Catty slowly settled down. Eventually, she returned the lemon. With the lemon safe, Sam and Jim went back to playing hide and seek. +Once upon a time, there was a brave bunny. He bounced around all day, looking for fun adventures.

I don't want to go back yet." + +The captain was very understanding and said, "Let's see how the wind is blowing. If the sail is not catching the breeze, then we can delay for a bit and enjoy the sea a little longer." + +The wind was gentle but the sail filled with air and the boat moved forward gracefully. Maria smiled as the captain told her it was time to go. + +As Maria walked home, she watched the boat in the distance and smiled.
