She said softly to Lucy, "Honey, you don't need to eat quite so much cereal. If you eat too much all at once it will make you ill." + +Lucy listened to her mom and realised that her mom was right, it was better to just eat a little bit each time, instead of a lot all at once.

She had lost a nut and was determined to find it. She looked everywhere, in the trees and on the ground but she couldn't find it. Suddenly, she heard a voice. + +"Where are you looking for your nut?" + +The squirrel spun around and saw a rabbit. "I lost a nut and I can't find it," said the squirrel sadly. + +The rabbit hopped closer. "Don't worry, I'll help you," she said.

His ankle was sore, but he was still determined to reach the top. With a great effort, he managed to make it. + +When Tom looked on the other side of the wall, he was delighted to see a beautiful meadow. It was full of fine trees and flowers, and the sun's rays were reflecting off the waters of the nearby river. + +Tom realised that the wall had kept him from seeing this fine view.

It means I love you." + +Ben looks at the big heart. It is red and shiny. He feels happy. He loves Lily too. He takes a deep breath. He holds Lily's hand. He closes his eyes.

They are friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making things with blocks, cars, dolls and animals. Lily had a big idea. She wanted to make a green dragon with glue and paper. She asked Ben to help her. + +"Ben, do you want to make a green dragon with me?" Lily said. + +"Yes, I like dragons. They are big and strong and can fly," Ben said. + +They went to the craft table and found some glue, scissors, paper and crayons. They cut out a long body, a tail, a head, wings and spikes. They colored them green with crayons. Then they used glue to stick them together. + +"Look, our dragon is almost done. It is very green and scary," Lily said. + +"It is the best dragon ever. But it needs something more. It needs eyes and teeth and fire," Ben said. + +They looked around for something to make eyes and teeth and fire. They saw a jar of glitter on the shelf. It was shiny and sparkly and had many colors. They thought it would be perfect for their dragon. + +"Let's use glitter for the eyes and teeth and fire. It will make our dragon look more real," Ben said. + +"Good idea. But we have to be careful. Glitter can be messy and sticky," Lily said. + +They took the jar of glitter and opened it. They sprinkled some glitter on the dragon's head, mouth and wings. They made eyes and teeth and fire with glitter. They were very happy with their dragon. It looked very green and shiny and scary. + +But they did not notice that some glitter fell on the floor, on the couch, on the table and on their clothes. They also did not notice that the glue was not dry yet. The glitter and the glue mixed together and became very sticky and hard. They stuck to the dragon, to each other and to everything they touched. + +"Uh-oh, we have a problem. We are stuck to the dragon and to everything else. We can't move," Ben said. + +"Help, help, we need help. Mom, dad, where are you?" Lily said. + +They heard their mom and dad coming from the kitchen. They saw the mess in the living room. They saw Lily and Ben and the dragon covered in glitter and glue. They were very surprised and angry. + +"What have you done? How did this happen? You are in big trouble," mom said. + +"We are sorry, mom. We wanted to make a green dragon with glue and paper. But we used glitter too. And the glitter and the glue became very sticky and hard. And we stuck to everything," Lily said. + +"We didn't mean to make a mess. We just wanted to have fun. Can you help us get unstuck?" Ben said. + +Mom and dad sighed. They got some scissors, some water and some towels. They carefully cut the glitter and the glue from Lily and Ben and the dragon. They cleaned the floor, the couch, the table and their clothes. They threw away the dragon. They were not happy. + +"You should not have used glitter and glue without asking us. You should have been more careful and tidy. You made a big mess and wasted a lot of things. You are not allowed to play with glitter and glue for a long time," dad said. + +"We are sorry, dad. We learned our lesson. We will not use glitter and glue again. We will play with something else," Lily and Ben said. + +They hugged their mom and dad and said they loved them. They went to their room and played with their toys. They did not make any more dragons. They made something else. Something that did not need glitter and glue. Something that was not green. Something that was not sticky and hard. Something that was more simple and safe. They made a house. A house with blocks. A house with cars. A house with dolls. A house with animals. A house that was fun. A house that was theirs. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big box of toys. They like to dig holes and bury their toys. Then they pretend to be pirates and look for treasure. + +"Look, I found a pepper!" Ben says. He holds up a red pepper from the vegetable patch. "It is spicy and yummy. Can we eat it?" + +"No, we can't eat it. It is not ours. It is Mom's. She grows peppers for the salad." Anna says. "We have to put it back. Or we can bury it and make it a treasure." + +"Let's bury it!" Ben says. He digs a hole and puts the pepper inside. He covers it with dirt. "Now we have a secret treasure. No one will find it." + +They make a map of the garden and mark the spot where they buried the pepper. They fold the map and hide it under a rock. They are very happy. They think they are lucky pirates. + +But Mom is not happy. She is looking for her peppers. She sees a hole in the vegetable patch. She sees a red tip sticking out of the dirt. She pulls out the pepper. It is dirty and has teeth marks. + +"Who did this?" Mom asks. She is angry. She sees Anna and Ben playing with their toys. She shows them the pepper. "Did you bury my pepper?" + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They are scared. They know they did something bad. They are not lucky anymore. They are sorry. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We were playing pirates. We thought it was a treasure. We have a map. We can show you." Anna says. + +Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she is not angry anymore. She loves Anna and Ben. She knows they are just kids. She teaches them not to take things that are not theirs. She teaches them how to wash and cut the pepper. She lets them have some for their snack. They say thank you. They are happy again. They are lucky kids. +Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to make up stories and act them out. Lily was the princess and Ben was the knight. They had a castle made of cardboard and a dragon made of paper. + +"Help, help!" Lily cried. "The dragon is coming to eat me!" + +"Don't worry, princess!" Ben said. "I will save you!" + +He ran towards the dragon and pretended to fight it with his sword. He made loud noises and waved his arms. The dragon roared and snapped its jaws. + +"Go away, dragon!" Ben shouted. "You are not welcome here!" + +The dragon did not listen. It was hungry and wanted to eat the princess. It was a threat to the castle. It moved closer and closer to Lily. + +Lily was scared. She did not like the dragon. She wished Ben would win. She hugged her doll and closed her eyes. + +Suddenly, she heard a laugh. It was not Ben's laugh. It was not the dragon's laugh. It was a new laugh. She opened her eyes and saw a man standing next to the dragon. He was holding a remote control. He was making the dragon move and roar. + +"Surprise!" the man said. "It's me, Daddy!" + +Lily and Ben gasped. They recognized their daddy. He had come home from work early. He had brought them a toy dragon as a gift. He wanted to play with them and make them laugh. + +"Daddy!" Lily and Ben said. They dropped their dolls and ran to hug him. They were happy to see him. They were not scared anymore. + +"Sorry, kids," Daddy said. "I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to have some fun. Do you like the dragon?" + +"Yes, Daddy!" Lily and Ben said. They looked at the dragon. It was not a threat anymore. It was a toy. They wanted to play with it. + +"Can we play with you, Daddy?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, princess," Daddy said. "And you, knight. Let's have an adventure!" + +They all laughed and played together. They made up new stories and acted them out. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about being hungry. They were a happy family. +Lila and Sam were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish, crabs, and shells. But they did not see any jellyfish. + +"Mom, can we see jellyfish?" Lila asked. + +"Maybe, but you have to be careful. Jellyfish can sting you and hurt you. They are wild animals, not toys," mom said. + +"Can we touch them?" Sam asked. + +"No, you can't touch them. They are very soft and slimy. If you touch them, they might break or sting you. You have to support them with water, not with your hands," dad said. + +Lila and Sam nodded. They wanted to see jellyfish, but they did not want to hurt them or get hurt. They followed their mom and dad to a big rock. There, they saw a big bucket with water and some jellyfish inside. + +"Look, kids, these are jellyfish. They are very pretty, but very delicate. We found them on the shore, and we put them in the bucket to help them. We will release them back to the water soon," mom said. + +Lila and Sam looked at the jellyfish. They saw their colors, shapes, and tentacles. They saw them move and float in the water. They were amazed. + +"Wow, they are so cool!" Lila said. + +"Yeah, they are. But we can't keep them. They belong to the sea," Sam said. + +They watched the jellyfish for a while. Then, they helped their mom and dad to carry the bucket to the water. They poured the water and the jellyfish gently into the sea. They waved goodbye to the jellyfish. + +"Bye, jellyfish. Thank you for letting us see you. We hope you are happy and safe in the water," Lila and Sam said. + +They smiled and hugged their mom and dad. They learned something new and had fun. They loved the beach and the jellyfish. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. Lily had a red car and Tom had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road. + +"Look at me, I'm the fastest!" Tom said, zooming past Lily. + +"No, I'm the fastest!" Lily said, trying to catch up. + +They came to a huge rock that blocked their way. Tom tried to go around it, but his car got stuck in the mud. Lily tried to go over it, but her car fell off and broke a wheel. + +"Oh no, what do we do now?" Tom said, crying. + +"I don't know, we can't play anymore," Lily said, sad. + +They looked at their cars and felt sorry. They wished they had been more careful and not gone so fast. + +Then they had an idea. They decided to share their cars and fix them together. They took Tom's broken wheel and put it on Lily's car. They used a stick to push Tom's car out of the mud. They reversed their cars and went back to the garden. + +"Look, we can still play!" Lily said, smiling. + +"Yes, we can!" Tom said, happy. + +They learned that sharing and helping each other is better than racing and fighting. They played with their cars until it was time to go inside. They hugged and said thank you to each other. They were good friends. +Anna liked to guess what was in the birdcage. She would look at the shape and the color and the sound of the thing inside. Sometimes it was a bird, sometimes it was a toy, sometimes it was a surprise. She liked surprises. + +One day, she saw a big birdcage in the garden. It was very wet from the rain. She ran to it and tried to guess what was inside. She saw something blue and shiny. She thought it was a blue bird. She wanted to see it better. + +She opened the birdcage and reached inside. But it was not a bird. It was a balloon. A wet balloon. It popped in her hand and made a loud noise. She was scared and sad. She dropped the balloon and cried. + +Mommy heard her cry and came to the garden. She saw the birdcage and the balloon and Anna. She hugged Anna and said, "It's okay, sweetie. It was just a balloon. It was not a real bird. Do you want to see a real bird?" + +Anna nodded and wiped her tears. Mommy took her to the house and showed her a small birdcage with a yellow bird. The bird sang a pretty song. Anna smiled and said, "I like this bird. Can I guess its name?" + +Mommy said, "Sure, you can guess. What do you think its name is?" + +Anna thought for a moment and said, "I think its name is Sunny. Because it is yellow and happy." + +Mommy said, "That's a good guess. And you are right. Its name is Sunny. Do you want to feed it some seeds?" + +Anna said, "Yes, please. I want to be friends with Sunny." + +Mommy said, "Okay, let's feed Sunny. And then we can play with your other toys. Maybe we can find another surprise." + +Anna said, "Okay, Mommy. I like surprises. But I like birds more." +Ben and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was black and white. It had a red collar. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe," Ben said. "Let's ask the man." + +The man was sitting on a bench. He had a book and a bag. He looked like a lawyer. He wore a suit and glasses. + +"Excuse me, sir," Ben said. "Can we pet your dog?" + +The man looked at them. He frowned. He did not like children. + +"No, you can't," he said. "This is a quiet park. Go away." + +Ben and Lily felt sad. They liked dogs. They wanted to be nice. + +"Please, sir," Lily said. "We won't make noise. We just want to say hello." + +The man shook his head. He was angry. He shouted. + +"I said no! Leave me alone! This is my dog, not yours!" + +The dog heard the man. The dog did not like the man. The dog was scared and angry. The dog jumped off the leash. The dog ran to Ben and Lily. The dog bit them. + +Ben and Lily screamed. They were hurt. They cried. The man dropped his book and bag. He ran to the dog. He tried to pull the dog away. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" he yelled. + +But it was too late. Ben and Lily were bleeding. They needed help. A lady saw them. She called 911. She tried to comfort them. + +"It's okay, sweeties," she said. "You'll be fine. The ambulance is coming." + +The man was sorry. He did not mean to hurt them. He wanted to say sorry. He wanted to kiss them. But he could not. The lady stopped him. + +"Stay away from them!" she said. "You are a bad man! You are a bad lawyer! You will go to jail!" + +The man felt sad. He felt scared. He cried. He wished he had been nice. He wished he had let them pet his dog. He wished he had never come to the park. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. Tom's favorite car is navy. It is big and shiny. Sam's favorite car is red. It is fast and loud. + +One day, they are playing in the yard. They make a race track with stones and sticks. They take turns to race their cars. Tom goes first. He pushes his navy car hard. It zooms along the track. Sam cheers for him. Then it is Sam's turn. He pushes his red car harder. It zooms faster than Tom's car. Tom claps for him. + +But then, a wild cat jumps into the yard. It sees the toy cars. It thinks they are mice. It runs after them. It catches Tom's navy car in its mouth. It bites it and shakes it. Tom is sad. He cries. "No, no, no! Give me back my car! It is mine!" + +Sam is brave. He picks up a stick. He runs to the cat. He hits the cat with the stick. The cat is scared. It drops Tom's navy car. It runs away. Sam picks up the navy car. He gives it to Tom. Tom hugs Sam. He says, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the best brother!" + +Tom looks at his navy car. It is dirty and broken. He rubs it with his shirt. He tries to fix it. He says, "I love my navy car. It is still big and shiny. But now it has a scar. It is a brave car. Like you, Sam." + +Sam smiles. He says, "I love my red car. It is still fast and loud. But now it has a friend. It is a kind car. Like you, Tom." + +They hug each other. They go back to their race track. They play with their cars. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of toys, but they like the ones that make noise and light up the best. They have a car, a robot, a doll and a guitar that can do that. + +"Look, Anna, I can make the car go fast!" Ben says, as he pushes a button on the remote. The car zooms across the floor and makes a loud honk. + +"That's cool, Ben, but I can make the doll talk!" Anna says, as she pulls a cord on the doll's back. The doll says, "I love you, Anna. Let's play!" + +They take turns showing each other their toys, and they have a lot of fun. But then, something goes wrong. The guitar stops making music, and the robot stops moving. + +"Oh no, what happened?" Anna asks, as she tries to strum the guitar. + +"I don't know, maybe they need new batteries," Ben says, as he shakes the robot. + +They look for batteries in the drawer, but they can't find any. They feel sad and bored. + +"Maybe we can go to the store and buy some batteries," Anna suggests. + +"Good idea, Anna. Let's ask Mom," Ben agrees. + +They run to the kitchen, where Mom is making lunch. They tell her about their toys and ask her to take them to the store. + +"I'm sorry, kids, but we can't go to the store right now. It's too far away, and I have to finish cooking. Maybe later, okay?" Mom says. + +"But Mom, we want to play with our toys now!" Anna and Ben whine. + +"I know, sweeties, but you have to be patient. Why don't you play with something else for a while? You have so many toys, I'm sure you can find something fun," Mom says. + +She gives them a hug and a kiss, and tells them to go back to the living room. + +Anna and Ben feel disappointed, but they do what Mom says. They go back to the living room, and look for other toys to play with. They find a ball, a puzzle, a book and a train. They decide to play with the train, because it has a cord that they can pull to make it go. + +They set up the train on the floor, and take turns pulling the cord. The train makes a chugging sound, and moves along the track. They pretend that the train is going to a distant place, where they can find batteries for their toys. + +They have fun playing with the train, and they forget about their other toys for a while. They smile and laugh, and enjoy each other's company. They are happy. +One night, Tom was very sleepy. He put on his pajamas and brushed his teeth. He said good night to his mom and dad and went to his bed. He hugged his teddy bear and closed his eyes. + +But Tom could not sleep. He heard a noise outside his window. He got up and looked. He saw a big moon and many stars. He also saw a cat on the fence. The cat was black and white and had a bell on its collar. Tom wanted to pet the cat. He opened his window and climbed out. + +Tom wandered in the dark. He followed the cat to the street. He saw many cars and lights and people. He felt scared and cold. He wished he had his teddy bear. He looked for his house, but he could not find it. He was lost. + +Tom saw a man on the sidewalk. The man had a hat and a coat and a wallet. Tom thought the man might help him. He ran to the man and tugged his coat. The man looked down and smiled. He asked Tom his name and where he lived. Tom told him. The man took out his wallet and showed Tom a picture. It was a picture of Tom and his mom and dad. The man said he was Tom's uncle. He had come to visit them. He had lost his way too. He was happy to see Tom. + +The man picked up Tom and hugged him. He said they would go back to Tom's house together. He said he had a gift for Tom in his wallet. He said it was a new teddy bear. Tom felt happy and safe. He hugged his uncle and thanked him. He said he was sorry for wandering in the dark. He said he would never do it again. He said he loved his uncle and his mom and dad and his old teddy bear. He said he was ready to sleep. The man smiled and said he loved Tom too. He said he was proud of him. He said he would take him home and tuck him in. He said he would stay with him until he fell asleep. He said good night to the cat and the moon and the stars. He said good night to Tom. Tom said good night to his uncle. He closed his eyes and dreamed of teddy bears. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to slide on the big metal slide. They liked to swing on the metal swings. They liked to climb on the metal bars. + +One day, they saw a new metal thing in the park. It was shiny and round and had a hole in the middle. They wondered what it was. + +"Let's go and see," Ben said. + +"OK," Lily said. + +They ran to the metal thing. They looked at it. They touched it. It was cold and smooth. + +"Maybe it's a big ring," Ben said. + +"Maybe it's a big donut," Lily said. + +They laughed. They decided to play with it. They tried to put their heads through the hole. They tried to roll it. They tried to spin it. + +But they did not see the sign that said "Do not touch. Danger. High voltage." + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They felt a shock. They saw a flash. They screamed. + +A man came running. He was wearing a yellow hat and a yellow vest. He had a tool in his hand. He looked angry. + +"What are you doing here?" he shouted. "This is not a toy. This is a transformer. It can hurt you. It can kill you. Can't you read the sign?" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not know what a transformer was. They did not know what high voltage was. They did not know how to read the sign. + +They cried. They said they were sorry. They said they did not mean to do anything bad. They said they just wanted to play. + +The man calmed down. He saw that they were just little kids. He saw that they were hurt. He saw that they were sorry. + +He took them to his truck. He gave them some water. He gave them some band-aids. He called their parents. + +Ben and Lily felt bad. They felt pain. They felt fear. They felt regret. + +They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful. They learned to obey the signs. They learned to respect the metal things. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games, but they also liked to look out of the window and see the birds and the cars and the people. Sometimes they would wave to their friends or make funny faces at them. + +One day, they saw a big truck with a lot of balloons on it. The balloons were red and blue and yellow and green and purple and pink. They were so pretty and shiny and round. Ben and Lily wanted to have some balloons too. They thought they could rush to the door and run outside and ask the truck driver for some balloons. + +But their mom had told them not to go outside without her. She said it was not safe and there were many dangers on the road. She said they had to listen to her and obey her rules. She said she loved them and wanted them to be happy and healthy. + +Ben and Lily did not listen to their mom. They thought they knew better and they were very curious and excited. They rushed to the door and opened it and ran outside. They did not see the car that was coming fast. They did not hear the horn that was honking loud. They did not feel the hand that grabbed them and pulled them back. + +It was their mom. She had seen them from the kitchen and had followed them. She was very scared and angry and sad. She hugged them and scolded them and cried. She said they were very naughty and foolish and lucky. She said they could have been hurt or lost or worse. She said they had to say sorry and promise to never do that again. + +Ben and Lily felt very sorry and ashamed and scared. They said sorry to their mom and to each other. They said they would never do that again. They said they loved their mom and thanked her for saving them. They said they did not need any balloons. They said they had everything they needed in their room. + +Their mom forgave them and kissed them and smiled. She said she was proud of them for being honest and brave and sorry. She said they were her precious and wonderful and successful twins. She said she had a surprise for them. She said she had bought some balloons for them from the truck driver. She said they could have them if they promised to play with them in their room or in the garden with her. + +Ben and Lily were very happy and surprised and grateful. They promised to play with their balloons in their room or in the garden with their mom. They hugged their mom and thanked her and went to their room. They looked out of the window and saw the truck with the balloons driving away. They waved to the truck driver and made funny faces at him. They played with their balloons and their toys and their books and their games. They were happy and safe and successful. +Ben likes to draw on paper. He has many colors and shapes to make pictures. He draws his family, his dog, his toys and his friends. He is happy when he draws. + +One night, Ben has a dream. He dreams that he is inside his paper. He can see his pictures all around him. He can touch them and play with them. He sees his mom and dad smiling at him. He sees his dog wagging his tail. He sees his toys moving and talking. He sees his friends laughing and hugging him. He feels warm and safe. + +He hears a voice. It is his mom. She says, "Ben, wake up. It is time for breakfast." Ben opens his eyes. He sees his mom holding his paper. She says, "You made a beautiful drawing, Ben. I love it." Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, mom. I had a dream about it. It was fun." He hugs his mom. He shows her his paper. He tells her about his dream. She listens and nods. She says, "That sounds like a wonderful dream, Ben. I'm glad you enjoyed it." She kisses him. She says, "Now, let's go eat. You must be hungry." Ben nods. He is hungry. He holds his paper. He is proud of it. He thinks, "Maybe I will dream about it again." He follows his mom to the kitchen. He is ready for a new day. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they did not like Ben, the rude boy. Ben always pushed them, took their toys and said mean things. + +One day, Ben saw Lily and Tom building a castle with sand and rocks. He wanted to spoil their fun. He ran to their castle and kicked it down. Lily and Tom were very sad and angry. + +"Stop it, Ben! You are rude and bad!" Lily shouted. + +"I don't care! I can do what I want!" Ben said. + +He picked up a big rock and threw it at Lily and Tom. But he missed them and hit a bee hive on a tree. The bees came out and buzzed around Ben. They stung him on his nose, his ears and his arms. Ben screamed and ran away. + +Lily and Tom watched Ben run. They felt sorry for him, but they also thought he deserved it. The bees punished him for being rude and mean. + +They went back to their castle and fixed it. They played happily and shared their toys. They hoped Ben would learn his lesson and be nice to them next time. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play music. They had a drum, a flute, a guitar and a xylophone. They liked to make different sounds and try to follow a rhythm. A rhythm is when you make sounds that go together in a pattern, like tap-tap-tap or ding-dong-ding. + +One day, they decided to play a game. They took turns to play a rhythm on one instrument, and the other had to guess which one it was. Tom went first. He picked up the flute and blew into it softly. He made a sound like this: too-too-too-too. Lily listened carefully and said, "I know, you are playing the flute!" + +Lily was right. Tom smiled and gave her the flute. Then he closed his eyes and waited for Lily to play a rhythm. Lily picked up the guitar and strummed it gently. She made a sound like this: strum-strum-strum-strum. Tom opened his eyes and said, "I know, you are playing the guitar!" + +Tom was right. Lily smiled and gave him the guitar. Then she closed her eyes and waited for Tom to play a rhythm. Tom picked up the drum and banged it loudly. He made a sound like this: bang-bang-bang-bang. Lily opened her eyes and said, "I know, you are playing the drum!" + +Lily was right. Tom smiled and gave her the drum. Then he closed his eyes and waited for Lily to play a rhythm. Lily picked up the xylophone and hit it softly. She made a sound like this: ding-ding-ding-ding. Tom opened his eyes and said, "I know, you are playing the xylophone!" + +Tom was right. Lily smiled and gave him the xylophone. Then they hugged each other and said, "We are good at this game! We can guess each other's rhythms!" + +They were happy and proud. They liked to play music together. They wondered what other instruments they could try. They wondered what other rhythms they could make. They wondered what other games they could play. They knew they had each other. They knew they were reliable. Reliable means you can trust someone and they can trust you. Tom and Lily were reliable twins who liked to play music. +Tom and Mia are playing with blocks. They want to build a big tower. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Let's do a measure," Tom says. "We can see how tall our tower is." + +"How do we do that?" Mia asks. + +Tom points to a ruler. "We can use this. It has numbers on it. The bigger the number, the taller the tower." + +Tom and Mia take turns putting blocks on the tower. They use the ruler to measure it. They are happy when the tower gets bigger and bigger. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Rex. He runs into the room and barks. He sees the tower and wants to play with it. + +"Rex, no!" Tom and Mia shout. "That is our tower!" + +But Rex does not listen. He jumps on the tower and knocks it down. The blocks fall everywhere. Tom and Mia are scared. They think Rex is angry. + +But Rex is not angry. He is happy. He thinks the blocks are toys. He wags his tail and licks Tom and Mia. + +"Rex, you are silly," Tom says. "You made a mess." + +Mia laughs. "It's okay. We can build another tower. But this time, we will do it in another room. Away from Rex." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun. + +But then they heard a loud sound from the trees. It was a scary sound, like a big roar. They did not know what it was. They felt afraid. + +"Tom, what is that sound?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it is a lion or a bear!" Tom said. + +They looked at the trees and saw something big and furry. It had sharp teeth and claws. It was a lion or a bear! It was coming towards them. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Tom shouted. + +They dropped the ball and ran as fast as they could. They ran to the gate of the park, where their mom was waiting for them. They hugged their mom and told her what they saw. + +"It's okay, Lily and Tom. You are safe now. That was not a lion or a bear. That was Mr. Brown's dog, Rex. He likes to play and make noises, but he is not mean. He just wanted to join your game," their mom said. + +She took them back to the park and showed them Rex. He was wagging his tail and licking his nose. He was not scary at all. He was friendly. + +"Can we play with Rex, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, if Mr. Brown says it's okay. But you have to be gentle and careful with him. He is a big dog," their mom said. + +Mr. Brown said it was okay. He gave them the ball and told them to throw it for Rex. Rex chased the ball and brought it back. He barked and wagged his tail. He was happy. + +Lily and Tom played with Rex for a while. They forgot about the scary sound. They had fun. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them speed on the floor and pretend they were racing. + +One day, Tom found a shiny car in his toy box. It was silver and had a big red mineral on the front. Tom thought it was the most impressive car he had ever seen. He wanted to show it to Sam and make him jealous. + +He took the car to Sam's house and said, "Look at my new car, Sam. It is the best car in the world. It can speed faster than any of your cars. And it has a beautiful mineral that sparkles. You don't have a car like this, do you?" + +Sam looked at the car and felt sad. He did not have a car like that. He wished he had a car like that. He said, "No, I don't have a car like that, Tom. Your car is very impressive. Can I play with it for a while?" + +Tom said, "No, you can't. This is my car and only I can play with it. You can play with your own cars. They are not as good as mine, but they are still cars." + +Sam felt hurt by Tom's words. He did not want to play with Tom anymore. He said, "Okay, Tom. If you don't want to share your car with me, then I don't want to play with you. You are not a good friend. You are selfish and mean." + +Tom did not care. He took his car and left. He thought he did not need Sam. He had the most impressive car in the world. He could play with it by himself. + +But soon, Tom realized that playing with his car by himself was not fun. He missed Sam and his other cars. He wished he had someone to race with and talk to. He felt lonely and bored. + +He decided to go back to Sam's house and say sorry. He hoped Sam would forgive him and play with him again. He knocked on the door and said, "Sam, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should have shared my car with you. It is not the most impressive car in the world. It is just a car. You are my friend and you are more important than any car. Can we play together again?" + +Sam opened the door and smiled. He was happy to see Tom. He said, "Of course, Tom. I'm glad you came back. I forgive you. You are my friend and I missed you. Come on, let's play with our cars. We can take turns with your shiny car and my other cars. They are all fun to play with." + +Tom and Sam hugged and went to play with their cars. They made them speed on the floor and pretended they were racing. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. They learned that sharing is caring and friendship is more impressive than any mineral. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play dress-up and pretend they are grown-ups. One day, they find a big box of old clothes in the attic. They try on different hats, coats, dresses and shoes. + +"Look at me, Anna!" Ben says. "I am a king. I have a crown and a cape. Do you like my style?" + +Anna giggles. She is wearing a long white dress and a veil. She has a bunch of flowers in her hand. "You look very nice, Ben. But I am a queen. I have a dress and a veil. Do you like my style?" + +Ben nods. He thinks Anna looks very pretty. He has an idea. He takes a ring from the box and puts it on Anna's finger. "Anna, will you marry me?" he asks. + +Anna smiles. She likes Ben. She thinks he is very kind. She says yes. They hug and kiss. They are very happy. + +They go downstairs to show their parents. Their parents laugh and clap. They think Anna and Ben are very cute. They take pictures of them. They say they have a very modest wedding. Anna and Ben do not know what modest means. But they do not care. They are happy to play and pretend. They are happy to be friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the bath. They liked to splash water with their toys and make bubbles. But there was a leak in the faucet. The water was dripping on the floor and making a big mess. + +Mom came in and saw the water. She was grumpy. She said, "Lily and Ben, stop splashing! There is a leak in the faucet and the floor is wet. You will slip and hurt yourself. And I have to clean it up. Get out of the bath now!" + +Lily and Ben did not want to get out of the bath. They were having fun. They said, "No, Mom, we want to splash more! The leak is not our fault. It is the faucet's fault. Please let us play!" + +Mom was very grumpy. She said, "No, Lily and Ben, you have to get out of the bath now. You have played enough. The leak is wasting water and making a mess. You have to dry yourself and put on your pajamas. And you have to say sorry to me for making me grumpy." + +Lily and Ben got out of the bath. They were sad and grumpy too. They dried themselves and put on their pajamas. They said sorry to Mom for making her grumpy. They gave her a hug and a kiss. Mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily and Ben, for saying sorry. I love you. But next time, please don't splash so much. And tell me if you see a leak. OK?" + +Lily and Ben said, "OK, Mom. We love you too. And we will tell you if we see a leak. Good night, Mom." + +Mom said, "Good night, Lily and Ben. Sweet dreams." She turned off the light and closed the door. Lily and Ben snuggled in their beds and fell asleep. They dreamed of splashing in the bath. But without a leak. +Tim and Sue were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pile of leaves in their yard. They ran to get their rakes and started to make the pile bigger and bigger. + +"Look, Tim, we can jump in the leaves!" Sue said. + +"Let's do it!" Tim said. + +They dropped their rakes and jumped into the pile. They laughed and threw leaves at each other. They had so much fun. + +But they did not see a friendly dog who was watching them from the fence. The dog liked to play too. He saw the rakes and thought they were toys. He jumped over the fence and ran to the rakes. He picked one up with his mouth and shook it. He made a loud noise. + +Tim and Sue heard the noise and looked up. They saw the dog with the rake. They were scared. They thought the dog was angry and wanted to hurt them. + +"Go away, dog!" Tim shouted. + +"Leave our rakes alone!" Sue shouted. + +But the dog did not go away. He wagged his tail and ran to them. He dropped the rake and licked their faces. He wanted to be their friend. + +Tim and Sue realized the dog was not angry. He was friendly. They smiled and petted him. They gave him some leaves to play with. + +"Hello, dog. What is your name?" Tim asked. + +"Woof!" the dog said. + +"We can call you Woof. Do you want to play with us?" Sue asked. + +"Woof!" the dog said. + +Tim and Sue welcomed Woof to their game. They jumped in the leaves with him. They had more fun. + +They did not know that Woof's owner was looking for him. He saw him playing with the twins. He was happy that Woof had made new friends. He walked to the yard and called his name. + +"Woof, come here, boy. It's time to go home." + +Woof heard his owner and ran to him. He barked and licked his hand. He was happy to see him. + +"Thank you for playing with my dog. He loves leaves and rakes. He is very friendly," the owner said to Tim and Sue. + +"You're welcome. We love leaves and rakes too. And we love Woof. He is very friendly," Tim and Sue said. + +They waved goodbye to Woof and his owner. They hoped to see them again. They picked up their rakes and made a new pile of leaves. They jumped in it and laughed. They had a good day. +Tom and Mia were playing on the beach. They liked to build sand castles and dig holes. They also liked to watch the ocean. The ocean was big and blue and made funny noises. + +"Look, Tom, the ocean is moving!" Mia said, pointing to the waves. + +"Yes, it is. The ocean moves up and down, and sometimes it comes closer and sometimes it goes away. That is called the tide," Tom said. He was older than Mia and knew more things. + +"Why does the ocean do that?" Mia asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is happy or sad or bored. Maybe it wants to play with us," Tom said. + +Mia smiled. She liked to play with the ocean. She ran towards the water and splashed her feet. Tom followed her. They laughed and jumped and ran. + +But then the ocean changed. It became colder and harder and whiter. It stopped moving and made a loud sound. Tom and Mia stopped too. They felt something cold on their faces and hands. It was snow. + +"Tom, what is happening?" Mia asked, scared. + +"I don't know, Mia. The ocean is freezing. Maybe it is too cold or too angry or too tired. Maybe it doesn't want to play with us anymore," Tom said. + +They looked around. The beach was covered with snow. The sky was gray and dark. They could not see their sand castles or their holes. They could not see their mom or dad or anyone else. + +"Tom, I want to go home," Mia said, shivering. + +"Me too, Mia. But we have to be patient. We have to wait for the ocean to unfreeze. Maybe it will be happy or calm or awake again. Maybe it will let us go," Tom said. + +He hugged Mia and they sat on the sand. They hoped the ocean would change again. They hoped someone would find them. They hoped they would be safe. +Lily was a big dog who liked to run and play. She had a leash that her owner, Ben, used to take her for walks. Ben was a polite boy who always said please and thank you. He loved Lily very much and wanted her to be happy. + +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park. There were many other dogs and people there. Lily saw a squirrel and wanted to chase it. She pulled hard on her leash, but Ben held on. He said, "No, Lily, stay with me. The squirrel is not for you." + +Lily did not listen. She pulled harder and harder, until she broke the leash. She ran after the squirrel, leaving Ben behind. Ben was scared and sad. He called, "Lily, come back! Lily, please!" + +Lily did not hear him. She ran across the street, where a big car was coming. The car did not see Lily. It hit her with a loud noise. Lily felt a lot of pain. She cried, "Ben, help me! Ben, I'm sorry!" + +Ben ran to Lily, but it was too late. Lily was not moving. She was gone. Ben was very sad. He hugged Lily and cried. He wished he had a better leash. He wished Lily had listened to him. He learned a hard lesson. He learned that running after squirrels can be very dangerous. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your owner and stay on your leash. It can save your life. +Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big frog near the pond. The frog is green and wet. It has long legs and big eyes. + +"Look, a frog!" Tim says. He runs to the frog and tries to catch it. But the frog is fast. It springs away from Tim's hand. Tim falls on the grass. He is clumsy. + +"Ha ha, you missed it!" Mia laughs. She runs after the frog too. She is careful. She gets close to the frog and grabs it. She is happy. + +"I got it, I got it!" Mia says. She holds the frog in her hands. The frog is slimy and cold. It croaks loudly. + +"Let me see, let me see!" Tim says. He gets up and goes to Mia. He wants to touch the frog too. But Mia does not want to share. She hugs the frog to her chest. + +"No, it's mine!" Mia says. She turns away from Tim. She walks to the house. She wants to show the frog to Mom. + +Tim is sad and angry. He follows Mia. He tries to take the frog from her. They fight and push. They are noisy. + +Mom hears them. She comes out of the house. She sees them with the frog. + +"What are you doing with that frog?" Mom asks. She is surprised and worried. She does not like frogs. She thinks they are dirty and gross. + +"We found it in the garden!" Mia says. She smiles and shows the frog to Mom. + +"Put it back, put it back!" Mom says. She does not want the frog in the house. She does not want the frog to pee or poop on the floor. + +"But we want to keep it!" Tim says. He likes the frog. He thinks it is cute and fun. + +"No, you can't keep it!" Mom says. She takes the frog from Mia. She walks to the pond. She puts the frog back in the water. The frog swims away. It is free. + +Tim and Mia are sad. They cry and whine. They want the frog back. + +Mom sighs. She hugs them and kisses them. She tries to make them happy. + +"Listen, you can't keep a frog as a pet. It belongs in the pond. It needs water and bugs and other frogs. It does not like the house. It does not like the toilet. It does not like you." Mom says. + +"The toilet?" Tim and Mia ask. They are confused. They do not understand. + +"Yes, the toilet. If you keep the frog in the house, it might jump into the toilet. And then it might get flushed away. And then you will never see it again. Do you want that?" Mom says. + +Tim and Mia shake their heads. They do not want that. They do not want to lose the frog. They do not want to hurt the frog. + +"Then you have to let it go. You have to say goodbye to the frog. You have to be nice to the frog." Mom says. + +Tim and Mia nod. They understand. They are sorry. They go to the pond. They say goodbye to the frog. They wave and smile. The frog croaks and winks. It is happy. + +Tim and Mia go back to Mom. They hug her and thank her. They are happy too. + +Mom smiles and takes them to the house. She gives them cookies and milk. She tells them a story. She is proud of them. + +They are good kids. They love animals. They love Mom. They love each other. They are happy. The end. +Sam liked to play with his toy car. He made it zoom and beep on the floor. He pretended it was a fast and brave car that could go anywhere. He liked to shake it and make it jump over bumps and holes. + +One day, he saw a big dog outside his window. The dog was black and furry and had sharp teeth. It barked and growled at the birds and the cats. Sam felt fearful of the dog. He wondered if it would bite him or his toy car. + +He heard his mom call him for lunch. He left his toy car on the floor and ran to the kitchen. He ate his sandwich and drank his juice. He told his mom about the dog. She said it was the neighbor's dog and it was not very friendly. She said he should stay away from it and not go outside. + +After lunch, Sam wanted to play with his toy car again. He went back to his room and looked for it. But he could not find it. He searched under his bed, in his closet, in his drawers. He could not see it anywhere. He felt sad and angry. Where was his toy car? + +He heard a loud bark and a crash. He ran to the window and saw the dog. The dog had his toy car in its mouth. It had jumped over the fence and into his yard. It had taken his toy car from his room. It was shaking it and tearing it apart. Sam felt fearful and helpless. He cried and screamed. + +"Mom! Mom! The dog has my toy car! Help me! Help me!" + +His mom heard him and came to his room. She saw the dog and the toy car. She felt sorry and angry. She grabbed a broom and ran outside. She shouted at the dog and hit it with the broom. The dog dropped the toy car and ran away. She picked up the toy car and brought it back to Sam. It was broken and dirty. She hugged Sam and said, + +"I'm sorry, Sam. The dog was very bad and mean. It should not have taken your toy car. I will buy you a new one. Don't be fearful. I'm here for you." +Sam and Mia liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made roads and bridges with blocks and books. They pretended to be drivers and passengers. + +One day, they found a new car in their toy box. It was shiny and red, with a big number zero on the side. Sam wanted to play with it, but Mia said it was hers. She said she got it from her grandma. Sam was sad and angry. He wanted to try the new car too. + +"Please, Mia, let me play with it for a little bit," Sam begged. + +"No, Sam, it's mine. You have your own cars. Go away," Mia said. + +Sam did not go away. He waited until Mia was busy with another car. Then he grabbed the red car and ran away. Mia saw him and shouted. + +"Sam, give it back! That's not fair!" + +Sam ignored her. He was happy to have the new car. He zoomed it along the floor, making loud noises. He did not see the big book that was in his way. He crashed the car into the book. The car made a strange sound and stopped. Sam tried to make it move again, but it did not. He pushed the buttons and turned the wheels, but nothing happened. He looked at the car and saw that the number zero was flashing. He did not know what it meant. + +Mia came running to him. She saw the car and gasped. + +"Sam, what did you do? You broke my car!" + +"I'm sorry, Mia, I didn't mean to. It just stopped. What's wrong with it?" Sam said. + +"It's out of power, Sam. It needs batteries. The number zero means it has no power left. You used it all up. Now it can't go forward or reverse. It's helpless," Mia said. + +Sam felt bad. He realized he had been selfish and mean. He wished he had listened to Mia and shared the car. He gave the car back to Mia and said. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" + +Mia looked at him and sighed. She was still angry, but she also felt sorry for him. She said. + +"Maybe, Sam. But you have to promise to be nice and ask before you take my things. And you have to help me find new batteries for my car." + +Sam nodded. He said. + +"OK, Mia. I promise. I'll be nice and ask. And I'll help you find batteries. Maybe we can play with the car together then." + +Mia smiled. She said. + +"Maybe, Sam. Maybe we can." +Tom and Lily were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and find new things. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground near their house. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's go and see!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Lily said. + +They crawled into the hole and followed a dark tunnel. They saw many rocks and dirt. They also saw some shiny things that sparkled. They were diamonds! + +"Wow, look at these!" Tom said. He picked up a big diamond and put it in his pocket. + +"Me too!" Lily said. She picked up a small diamond and put it in her pocket. + +They were very happy. They wanted to show their mom and dad their diamonds. They turned around and tried to go back. But they could not find the way. They were lost! + +They started to cry. They wished they had not gone into the hole. They regretted being so adventurous. They wanted to go home. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +Luckily, their mom and dad heard them. They followed their voices and found the hole. They shone a flashlight and saw Tom and Lily. + +"Tom! Lily! Are you OK?" their mom and dad said. + +"Yes, we are OK, but we are scared!" Tom and Lily said. + +Their mom and dad pulled them out of the hole and hugged them. They were very relieved. + +"Thank you, mom and dad! We are sorry we went into the hole. We will not do it again!" Tom and Lily said. + +"It's OK, we are glad you are safe. But why do you have diamonds in your pockets?" their mom and dad said. + +Tom and Lily showed them their diamonds. They told them they found them in the tunnel. + +"Wow, these are very pretty. But they are not yours. They belong to someone else. You have to give them back." their mom and dad said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They gave back their diamonds. They learned their lesson. They decided to be more careful and less adventurous. They still liked to explore new places and find new things. But they always asked their mom and dad first. +Lily and Ben were playing with their marbles on the floor. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. Lily liked the big marbles that sparkled in the light. Ben liked the small marbles that made a funny sound when they rolled. + +"Look at this marble, Lily!" Ben said, holding up a blue marble with white swirls. "It is very fancy. It looks like the sky with clouds." + +Lily nodded. "It is very pretty, Ben. But I like this marble more." She showed him a pink marble with glitter. "It is very fancy too. It looks like a flower with dew." + +They both smiled and put their marbles in a pile. Then they heard a knock on the door. It was their friend Tom, who lived next door. He had a big grin on his face. + +"Hi, Lily and Ben!" Tom said. "Can I play with you?" + +"Sure, Tom!" Lily and Ben said. "Come in, come in!" + +Tom came in and saw the marbles on the floor. He gasped. "Wow, you have so many marbles! They are all very fancy. Can I see them?" + +"Of course, Tom!" Lily and Ben said. "You can play with us. We have enough marbles for everyone." + +They gave Tom some marbles and showed him how to play. They rolled the marbles and tried to hit each other's marbles. They laughed and cheered when they won or lost. They had a lot of fun. + +Tom was very happy. He liked Lily and Ben's marbles. He liked playing with them. He wanted to bring something for them too. He thought of what he had in his room. He had a toy car, a book, and a teddy bear. He decided to bring his teddy bear. He thought Lily and Ben would like it. + +"Wait a minute, Lily and Ben!" Tom said. "I have something for you. I will be right back." + +He ran to his room and grabbed his teddy bear. He ran back to Lily and Ben's room and gave them his teddy bear. + +"Here, Lily and Ben!" Tom said. "This is my teddy bear. He is very soft and cuddly. I want to bring him for you. You can share him. He likes to play with marbles too." + +Lily and Ben were very surprised. They looked at Tom's teddy bear. He was brown and fuzzy. He had a red bow around his neck. He had a friendly smile on his face. + +"Thank you, Tom!" Lily and Ben said. "Your teddy bear is very nice. He is very fancy too. We like him a lot. You are very kind to bring him for us." + +They hugged Tom and his teddy bear. They put the teddy bear in the middle of their marble pile. They continued to play with their marbles and their teddy bear. They were very happy. They were very good friends. +Tom and Lily were eager to play with their new ball. It was big and red and shiny. They took it to the park and bounced it on the grass. They had fun throwing and catching it. + +Then they saw something sparkly under a tree. They ran to see what it was. It was a gem! It was blue and round and pretty. They picked it up and looked at it. It was smooth and cold in their hands. + +They wondered where it came from. Maybe it fell from the sky. Maybe it was a gift from a fairy. Maybe it was magic. They decided to keep it and put it in their pocket. + +They went back to their ball and bounced it some more. They did not see the man who was looking for his gem. He had lost it when he was walking his dog. He was sad and angry. He searched all over the park, but he could not find it. + +Tom and Lily did not know that they had his gem. They were happy and excited. They had a new ball and a new gem. They thought they were very lucky. They went home and showed their mom and dad. They did not know that they had made someone very unhappy. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make snowmen and snowballs. They have fun. + +One day, Lila loses her glove. She is sad. Her hand is cold. She looks for her glove, but she cannot find it. She asks Ben for help. + +"Ben, can you help me? I lost my glove. It is important. It is pink and warm." + +Ben nods. He is a good friend. He helps Lila look for her glove. They look under the snow, behind the trees, and in the bushes. They do not see the glove. + +They see a bird. The bird has something in its beak. It is Lila's glove. The bird flies away with the glove. + +"Oh no! The bird took my glove!" Lila cries. + +Ben thinks. He has an idea. He knows how to solve the problem. He takes a snowball and throws it at the bird. The bird drops the glove. Lila runs and picks it up. + +"Thank you, Ben! You solved the problem. You are a great friend. You are smart and brave." + +Lila and Ben hug. They are happy. They put on their gloves and play in the snow again. They have fun. +Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play together every day. They have a big red bike that they share. Sara can ride the bike very well. Ben is still learning. He sometimes falls off the bike. + +One day, they are riding the bike in the park. Ben is on the back seat. He holds on to Sara's shoulders. Sara pedals fast and makes the bike go zoom. Ben laughs and says, "This is fun!" + +Sara sees a big hill. She wants to go up the hill. She says to Ben, "Are you ready for a challenge?" Ben says, "Yes, I am!" + +Sara pedals harder and harder. The bike climbs the hill. Ben feels the wind in his hair. He says, "Wow, you are strong!" + +Sara smiles and says, "Thank you, you are dependable. You always help me with the bike. You are a good friend." + +They reach the top of the hill. They see a beautiful view. They see the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the sky. They say, "Wow, this is beautiful!" + +Sara says, "Do you want to go down the hill?" Ben says, "Yes, I do!" + +Sara says, "Okay, but first, I have a joke for you. What do you call a tire that is not round?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He says, "I don't know. What do you call it?" + +Sara says, "A square tire!" + +Ben laughs and says, "That is funny!" + +Sara says, "Are you ready?" Ben says, "Yes, I am!" + +Sara lets go of the brakes. The bike goes down the hill. Ben screams and says, "Whee!" + +They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They are best friends. +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green frog near the pond. It was hopping and croaking. + +"Look, a frog!" Tom said. "Can we catch it?" + +"OK, but be gentle," Mia said. "Frogs are fine animals. They need water and air." + +They ran after the frog, but it was fast and slippery. It jumped into the pond and hid under a leaf. + +"Where did it go?" Tom asked. + +"Shh, be quiet," Mia said. "Maybe it will come out again." + +They waited and watched. The frog peeked out from the leaf. It saw Tom and Mia and croaked loudly. + +"Hello, frog!" Mia said. "We are not bad. We just want to be your friends." + +The frog looked at them and croaked again. It seemed curious. + +"Can we touch you?" Tom asked. "You are so green and soft." + +The frog nodded and swam closer. Tom and Mia reached out their hands and gently stroked the frog. It felt wet and smooth. + +The frog liked their touch. It smiled and croaked happily. + +Tom and Mia smiled too. They had made a new friend. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and fluffy. He has a red collar and a bottle in his mouth. + +Lila and Ben want to pet the dog. They ask their mom if they can. Mom says yes, but they have to be careful and friendly. The dog might be scared of them. Lila and Ben nod. They walk slowly to the dog. They say hello in a soft voice. + +The dog wags his tail. He drops the bottle on the ground. He sniffs Lila and Ben. He licks their faces. Lila and Ben giggle. They pet the dog. They say he is a good boy. The dog barks happily. He picks up the bottle again. He wants to play. + +Lila and Ben look at their mom. Mom smiles and nods. She says they can play with the dog for a while. Lila and Ben are happy. They take turns to throw the bottle and fetch it with the dog. The dog runs and jumps. He is fast and strong. He is also gentle and friendly. Lila and Ben love the dog. They say he is their new friend. +Tom and Anna were playing with their dolls. Tom had a big doll with a blue dress and Anna had a small doll with a pink dress. They liked to pretend that their dolls were sisters who went on adventures. + +One day, they decided to play in the garden. They found a nice spot under a tree and put their dolls on a blanket. They made up stories about their dolls going to the park, the zoo, and the beach. + +But then, Tom saw a hole in his doll's dress. He was very sad. He loved his doll and did not want her to have a hole. He showed the hole to Anna and asked her what to do. + +Anna looked at the hole and thought for a moment. She had an idea. She said, "I know! We can fix the hole with a stitch. A stitch is when you use a needle and a thread to sew the hole together. My mom does it sometimes when my clothes have holes. Do you want to try?" + +Tom nodded. He wanted to fix his doll's dress. He said, "Yes, let's try. But how do we do it? Where do we get a needle and a thread?" + +Anna said, "We can ask my mom. She has a sewing box in her room. Come on, let's go." + +They picked up their dolls and ran to the house. They found Anna's mom in the kitchen. They showed her the hole and asked her for a needle and a thread. Anna's mom smiled and said, "Sure, I can help you. But you have to be very careful. A needle is sharp and can hurt you. And a stitch is not easy. It takes practice and patience. Do you think you can do it?" + +Tom and Anna said, "Yes, we can do it. We want to fix our doll's dress. Please, show us how." + +Anna's mom said, "Okay, follow me. I will get my sewing box and show you how to make a stitch. But you have to listen and follow my instructions. And you have to be gentle with your doll. Are you ready?" + +Tom and Anna said, "Yes, we are ready. Thank you, mom." + +They followed Anna's mom to her room. She opened her sewing box and took out a needle and a thread. She showed them how to thread the needle and how to make a knot. Then she showed them how to make a stitch on a piece of cloth. She said, "You have to put the needle through the hole and pull the thread. Then you have to put the needle back through the cloth and pull the thread again. You have to do this until the hole is closed. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Anna said, "Yes, we understand. Can we try?" + +Anna's mom said, "Yes, you can try. But be careful. And don't give up if it is difficult. You can do it." + +She gave them the needle and the thread and watched them try to make a stitch on their doll's dress. Tom and Anna tried their best. They were careful and gentle. They were also patient and persistent. They made some mistakes, but they did not give up. They kept trying until they made a stitch on their doll's dress. + +They were very proud of themselves. They showed their stitch to Anna's mom and said, "Look, mom, we did it! We fixed our doll's dress!" + +Anna's mom said, "Wow, you did it! I am so proud of you! You made a stitch on your doll's dress. You are very clever and brave. Well done!" + +She hugged them and kissed them. She said, "You are such good friends. You helped each other and learned something new. You should be happy and proud of yourselves. Now, do you want to go back to the garden and play with your dolls?" + +Tom and Anna said, "Yes, we want to go back to the garden and play with our dolls. Thank you, mom. You are the best!" + +They took their dolls and ran back to the garden. They put their dolls on the blanket and continued their stories. They were very happy. They loved their dolls and their stitch. They also loved each other and their mom. They had a lot of fun. They had a good day. +Lila and Tom were playing on the sand. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They had a bucket and a spade each. They were happy. + +But then a big wave came and washed away their castles. The tide was coming in. Lila and Tom were sad. They wanted to keep playing on the sand. + +"Let's move up a bit," Tom said. "We can make new castles there." + +"No, I want to stay here," Lila said. "This is the best spot. It has shells and rocks." + +"But the water will come again and ruin our castles," Tom said. "We have to rush before it's too late." + +"I don't care," Lila said. "I like the water. It's fun and cool." + +Lila and Tom started to argue. They did not agree. They did not share. They were angry. + +Then they saw a man walking on the beach. He had a big hat and a big bag. He looked rich. He was picking up shells and rocks and putting them in his bag. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lila shouted. "Those are our shells and rocks. We found them first." + +The man did not hear her. He kept walking and picking up shells and rocks. He was greedy. + +Lila and Tom stopped arguing. They looked at each other. They had an idea. + +They ran after the man. They shouted and waved their arms. They tried to get his attention. + +"Hey, mister, stop!" Tom yelled. "Give us back our shells and rocks. They are ours." + +The man turned around. He saw Lila and Tom. He was surprised. He did not expect to see them. + +"What are you doing here?" he asked. "This is my beach. I can take whatever I want." + +"No, it's not," Lila said. "This is our beach. We were playing here. You can't take our shells and rocks. They are our treasures." + +The man laughed. He did not care. He did not listen. He was mean. + +"Treasures?" he said. "These are just shells and rocks. They are worthless. I have more money than you can ever imagine. I am rich. You are poor. You have nothing." + +He turned around and walked away. He left Lila and Tom behind. He took their shells and rocks. He was happy. + +Lila and Tom were sad. They looked at the sand. It was empty and wet. They had nothing. + +But then they saw something. It was shiny and round. It was a coin. It was gold. + +Lila and Tom picked it up. They looked at it. They smiled. + +They had something. They had a coin. It was gold. It was worth more than shells and rocks. It was a treasure. + +They hugged each other. They were happy. + +They did not need the man. They did not need his money. They did not need his shells and rocks. + +They had each other. They had a coin. They had a beach. + +They were rich. +Tom and Sue were playing in the living room. They liked to make things with blocks and toys. They saw a big round thing on the table. It was gray and had some black stuff inside. They did not know what it was. + +"Let's see what it is," Tom said. He climbed on a chair and reached for the thing. Sue was frightened. She did not think it was a good idea. + +"Tom, no! That is not for us. That is for grown-ups. It is an ashtray. It has bad smoke in it. It can make us sick," Sue said. She tried to encourage Tom to come down. + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to touch the thing. He grabbed it and lifted it up. But it was heavy and slippery. He lost his balance and fell off the chair. The thing fell with him and broke on the floor. The black stuff spilled everywhere. + +Tom and Sue were scared. They heard their mom coming. They knew they were in trouble. They ran to their room and hid under the bed. They hoped their mom would not be too angry. They wished they had not played with the ashtray. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who liked to run and bark. + +One day, the sun was very hot and bright. It made the grass dry and the air hard to breathe. Tom and Lily felt thirsty and tired. They did not want to play anymore. + +"Let's go inside and drink some water," Tom said. "This day is too harsh for us and Spot." + +"OK," Lily said. "But I wonder why the sun is so hot today. Is it angry at us?" + +Tom shook his head. "No, the sun is not angry. It is just doing its job. It gives us light and warmth. But sometimes it is too much." + +They went inside and drank some water. They also gave some water to Spot, who wagged his tail. They felt better and decided to rest for a while. + +"Maybe we can play outside again later, when the sun is not so harsh," Lily said. + +"Maybe," Tom said. "Or we can play inside with our toys. We can have fun anywhere, as long as we are together." +Lily and Tom like to collect bugs. They have a jar with holes and a net. They look for bugs in the grass, under rocks and on flowers. They catch ants, beetles, spiders and butterflies. + +One day, they see a big, ugly bug on a tree. It has long legs, big eyes and a hard shell. Lily and Tom want to catch it and put it in their jar. They run to the tree with their net. + +"Be careful, Lily. It might bite!" Tom says. + +"I'm not scared, Tom. It's just a bug!" Lily says. + +She swings the net at the bug, but misses. The bug jumps and flies away. Lily and Tom chase it, but it is too fast. They lose sight of it. + +They are sad and angry. They want the bug for their collection. They think of a plan. They make a trap with a stick, a string and a leaf. They put some honey on the leaf and hide it under the tree. They hope the bug will come back and smell the honey. They wait and watch. + +After a while, they see the bug again. It lands on the tree and looks around. It sees the leaf and flies to it. It lands on the leaf and starts to eat the honey. Lily and Tom are happy. They pull the string and the stick falls. The bug is trapped under the leaf. + +"Yay! We got it!" Lily and Tom shout. + +They run to the trap and lift the leaf. They see the bug. It is still ugly, but they don't care. They put it in their jar and close the lid. They have a new bug for their collection. They are proud and happy. They go home to show their mom and dad. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their bikes. They liked to race each other and see who was faster. They also liked to follow the signs that told them what to do on the road. One sign said "yield". Lily knew that meant to let other bikes or cars go first. Ben did not know what it meant. + +They came to a place where the road split into two. There was a sign that said "yield" and had an arrow pointing to the right. Lily slowed down and looked to see if anyone was coming from the right. Ben did not slow down. He wanted to win the race. He did not look to the right. He just kept going. + +A big car was coming from the right. It was going very fast. It did not see Ben. Ben did not see the car. Lily saw the car. She was very anxious. She yelled, "Ben, stop! Yield! Car!" + +Ben heard Lily. He looked to the right. He saw the car. He was scared. He tried to stop. But it was too late. The car hit Ben. Ben fell off his bike. He hurt his leg. He cried. + +Lily ran to Ben. She hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" + +The car stopped. The driver got out. He was sorry too. He said, "I'm sorry, kid. Are you okay?" + +Ben said, "No. I'm not okay. My leg hurts. Why did you hit me?" + +The driver said, "I didn't mean to hit you. You didn't yield. You didn't let me go first. You have to follow the signs. They are there to keep you safe." + +Ben said, "What is yield?" + +Lily said, "Yield means to let other bikes or cars go first. You have to look and wait. It's like saying please." + +Ben said, "Oh. I didn't know that. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. I just wanted to win the race." + +Lily said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, please yield. It's more important to be safe than to win." + +Ben said, "Okay, Lily. I will. Thank you for being my friend." + +Lily said, "You're welcome, Ben. You're my friend too." + +The driver said, "You're very brave, kids. And very smart. You learned a new word today. And a new lesson. I'm proud of you. But you should still go to the doctor and check your leg. It might be broken." + +Ben said, "Okay, mister. Thank you for being nice." + +The driver said, "You're welcome, kid. I'm sorry for being fast." + +He called an ambulance. The ambulance came. It took Ben and Lily to the hospital. Their parents came too. They were worried. But they were also happy. They hugged their kids. They thanked the driver. They asked him a lot of questions. He answered them. He was honest. He was sorry. He learned a lesson too. He said he would be more careful. He said he would yield. He said he would say please. He said he would be a better driver. He said he would be a better person. He said he would be a friend. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box. They open the box and see many toys inside. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Tom says. "Let's play with them!" + +"Okay, but we have to part them first," Sue says. "You take some and I take some. Then we can share." + +Tom and Sue part the toys. Tom takes a car, a ball, a doll and a book. Sue takes a train, a bear, a puzzle and a hat. They are happy with their toys. + +But then, a big boy comes. He sees the box and the toys. He is mean and ignorant. He does not ask or say anything. He just grabs the box and runs away. + +"Hey, stop!" Tom and Sue shout. "Those are our toys!" + +The big boy does not listen. He is too fast. Tom and Sue are sad and angry. They want their toys back. + +They run after the big boy. They search for him in the park. They look behind the trees, under the benches, on the swings. But they cannot find him. He is gone. + +Tom and Sue are tired and sad. They sit on the grass and cry. + +"Where is he? Where are our toys?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know," Sue says. "He is a bad boy. He took our toys and did not share." + +They hug each other and cry. They wish they had their toys back. They wish the big boy was nice and not ignorant. They wish they could play in the park again. +Sara liked to play with her dragon toy. It was big and green and had wings and teeth. She liked to carry it everywhere she went. She carried it to the park, to the store, to the school. She hugged it and talked to it and pretended it was her friend. + +One day, Sara and her dragon went to the farm. There were many animals there. Sara saw cows and pigs and chickens and horses. She wanted to show her dragon to them. She carried it to the barn and said hello to the animals. But the animals did not like her dragon. They were scared of it. They ran away or hid or made loud noises. + +Sara was sad. She did not understand why the animals did not like her dragon. She thought her dragon was nice and fun. She looked at her dragon and saw that it was filthy. It had mud and grass and feathers and hay on it. It looked dirty and scary. Sara realized that maybe the animals thought her dragon was a real dragon that wanted to eat them. + +Sara decided to clean her dragon. She carried it to the water and washed it with soap and a sponge. She rubbed off all the dirt and made it shiny and clean. She dried it with a towel and combed its hair. She put a ribbon around its neck and a hat on its head. She made it look pretty and friendly. + +Sara carried her dragon back to the barn. She hoped the animals would like her dragon now. She showed it to them and said sorry for scaring them. She told them her dragon was a toy and a friend. The animals looked at her dragon and saw that it was not filthy or scary anymore. It was clean and cute. They came closer and sniffed it and touched it. They liked her dragon now. They played with it and shared their food with it. Sara was happy. She and her dragon had made new friends. +Sara and Tom were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and rocks. Sara found a big, shiny shell that was closed. She wondered what was inside. + +"Look, Tom, I found a shell!" she said, holding it up. + +"Let me see!" Tom said, reaching for it. + +"No, it's mine!" Sara said, pulling it away. + +They started to fight over the shell. Their mom and dad heard them and came over. + +"What's going on?" their mom asked. + +"Sara won't let me see her shell!" Tom said. + +"Tom won't let me keep my shell!" Sara said. + +Their dad took the shell and opened it gently. Inside was a pink oyster with a pearl. + +"Wow, this is a very special shell!" he said. "You found an oyster, Sara. And it has a pearl inside. Do you know what a pearl is?" + +Sara shook her head. + +"A pearl is a very precious thing that some oysters make. It's very rare and beautiful. You are very lucky to find one," he said. + +He showed the pearl to Sara and Tom. They both gasped. + +"Can I have it?" Sara asked. + +"Can I have it?" Tom asked. + +Their dad smiled. + +"How about we share it?" he said. "We can make a necklace with the pearl and you can both wear it sometimes. That way, you can both enjoy it and remember this day." + +Sara and Tom liked that idea. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +"Thank you, dad," they said. + +Their mom smiled too. + +"You're welcome, kids," she said. "You see, sometimes it's better to share than to fight. Sharing makes everyone happy. And you never know what treasures you might find when you share." +Lily liked to dream. She dreamed of flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, and playing with animals. She dreamed every night when she slept, and sometimes when she was awake. + +One day, she wanted to measure how high she could jump. She asked her brother Ben to help her. Ben was older and knew how to measure things. He had a useful tool called a ruler. He said he would hold the ruler next to the wall and mark how high Lily jumped. + +Lily was excited. She ran and jumped as high as she could. Ben looked at the ruler and said, "You jumped four inches. That's not very high." + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to jump higher. She said, "I can jump higher. Let me try again." + +Ben said, "No, you can't. You're too small. You can't jump as high as me. I can jump eight inches. See?" He ran and jumped and showed her his mark on the wall. + +Lily felt angry. She didn't like Ben being mean to her. She said, "You're not nice. You're not my friend. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +She ran away to her room and closed the door. She lay on her bed and cried. She wished she could jump higher. She wished she could fly. She closed her eyes and dreamed. +Tom was a child who liked to march. He marched in his room, he marched in the yard, he marched in the park. He marched with his feet, he marched with his arms, he marched with his voice. He said, "I am a soldier, I march all day!" + +One day, he saw a big hill with thick grass. He wanted to march on the hill. He said, "I am a soldier, I march up the hill!" He marched and marched, but the hill was hard. The grass was thick and made him slow. He had to push and pull and climb. He said, "I am a soldier, I march, I march!" + +He reached the top of the hill and saw a big tree. He wanted to march to the tree. He said, "I am a soldier, I march to the tree!" He marched and marched, but the tree was far. The sun was hot and made him sweat. He had to drink and rest and walk.

He grabs a duck by the wing. The duck is heavy and angry. It quacks loudly and pecks Tom's hand. Tom lets go of the duck and cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. "The duck hurt me!" + +Mia runs to Tom and hugs him. She squeezes him gently and says, "I'm sorry, Tom. The duck was scared. You should not catch ducks. You should feed them bread." + +Tom nods and wipes his tears. He says, "I'm sorry, duck. I will not catch you again. I will feed you bread." + +Mia smiles and says, "That's good, Tom. Come on, let's go find some bread. Maybe the duck will forgive you." + +They walk to the bench where their mom is sitting. She has a bag of bread. She gives them some pieces and says, "What happened, kids? Why are you crying, Tom?" + +Tom and Mia tell her what happened. She says, "Oh, Tom, you should be more gentle with animals. They have feelings too. But I'm glad you learned your lesson. Here, take some bread and feed the ducks. They will like that." + +Tom and Mia say, "Thank you, mom." They go back to the pond and throw some bread to the ducks. The ducks come closer and eat the bread. They quack happily. Tom and Mia smile and watch them. They feel happy too. +Ben and Tom were brothers who liked to fish. They had a big rod that their dad gave them. It was a mighty rod that could catch many fish. One day, they went to the lake with their rod and some worms. + +They threw the worms in the water and waited for the fish to bite. Ben saw a big splash and felt a tug on his rod. He smiled and said, "I got one, Tom! I got one!" + +Tom smiled too and helped Ben pull the rod. But the fish was too strong and too fast. It pulled the rod out of Ben's hands and dragged it into the water. Ben and Tom watched in shock as their mighty rod disappeared. + +They ran to their dad and told him what happened. Their dad was not angry. He hugged them and said, "Don't worry, boys. It's just a rod. You can always get another one. But you can't get another fish like that. You just met the biggest fish in the lake. Maybe he will come back someday and give you your rod back. He might even smile at you." + +Ben and Tom felt better and laughed. They decided to call the fish Roddy. They hoped to see him again and maybe catch him with a new rod. They knew he was a mighty fish, but they were mighty brothers too. +Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. They had a lot of fun with the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They shared their toys and snacks. They were very happy. + +One day, a big dog came to the park. It was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It barked very loud and ran very fast. Tim and Lily were scared. They ran away from the dog. They tried to find a safe place to hide. + +"Tim, where are you?" Lily called. + +"Lily, I'm here!" Tim answered. + +They saw each other behind a big tree. They were glad to unite. They hugged each other and hoped the dog would go away. + +But the dog did not go away. It smelled them and found them. It jumped on them and bit them. Tim and Lily screamed and cried. They were hurt and bleeding. They wished someone would help them. + +But no one came. The park was empty. No one heard them or saw them. They were alone and in pain. They were very unlucky. + +The dog left them and ran away. Tim and Lily lay on the ground. They were too weak to move. They looked at each other and said sorry. They said they loved each other. They closed their eyes and stopped breathing. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful of strangers and dangerous animals. Always stay close to your parents or guardians. Don't go to places where you are not safe. Worry can save your life. +Lisa and Tom were going on vacation with their mom and dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags, toys and books. They said goodbye to their grandma and their dog. + +They got in the car and drove for a long time. They saw many things on the road: trees, cows, bridges, trucks. They played games and sang songs. They asked their mom and dad many questions. + +They arrived at a big house near the beach. It was their vacation home. They ran inside and explored the rooms. They found their beds and their closets. They saw a big window with a view of the sea. + +They wanted to go to the beach right away. They put on their swimsuits and hats. They grabbed their towels and buckets. They followed their mom and dad to the sand. + +There were many other kids on the beach. They were building sandcastles, digging holes, throwing balls, splashing water. Lisa and Tom felt shy. They did not know anyone. They stayed close to their mom and dad. + +"Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to play with me?" A girl with curly hair and a pink dress came up to them. She smiled and held out a shovel. + +Lisa and Tom looked at each other. They felt nervous. They did not know what to say. + +Their mom and dad nudged them gently. "Go ahead, sweeties. She seems nice. You can make a new friend." + +Lisa and Tom took a deep breath. They nodded and smiled. They took the shovel and followed Anna to her sandcastle. They felt happy. They had fun. They made a new friend. They enjoyed their vacation. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big car with a shiny key in it. Sara wants to take the key and drive the car. She says to Ben, "Look, a key! Let's take it and have fun!" + +Ben is alert. He knows that taking the key is wrong. He says to Sara, "No, Sara, that is not our key. That is someone else's key. They need it to go home. If we take it, they will be sad and angry. And we will be in trouble. We should not take things that are not ours." + +Sara does not listen to Ben. She is greedy and curious. She runs to the car and grabs the key. She tries to open the door, but it is locked. She tries to start the engine, but it does not work. She is frustrated and scared. She hears a loud voice behind her. It is the owner of the car. He is mad and shouts, "Hey, you! What are you doing with my key? Give it back to me right now!" + +Sara drops the key and runs away. She cries and feels sorry. She wishes she had listened to Ben. Ben is smart and kind. He follows Sara and comforts her. He says to her, "It's okay, Sara. You made a mistake, but you can learn from it. Next time, you should not take things that are not yours. You should respect other people and their things. That is the right thing to do." + +Sara nods and hugs Ben. She says to him, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You are right. I should not take things that are not mine. I should respect other people and their things. That is the right thing to do. I am sorry for what I did. I will not do it again." + +The end. +Lily likes to polish her nails. She has a pink polish that she got from her mom. She sits on the floor and opens the bottle. She dips the brush in the polish and paints her fingers one by one. She is very careful not to spill or smudge. + +"Wow, Lily, your nails look very nice!" says her brother Tom, who is playing with his cars nearby. He comes over to see her fingers. "Can I have some polish too?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes her polish, but she also likes her brother. She decides to share. She says, "OK, Tom, you can have some polish. But only a little bit. And you have to be very careful." + +Tom nods and smiles. He picks a blue polish that he likes. He sits next to Lily and gives her his hand. Lily paints his fingers with the blue polish. She is very gentle and does a good job. + +"Thank you, Lily, you are very nice!" says Tom, looking at his fingers. He likes the blue color. He thinks it matches his cars. He gives Lily a hug and a kiss. They both laugh and play with their nails and their toys. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing a game. They had to roll a dice and move their toys on a board. The first one to reach the end would win a prize. Tom wanted the prize very much. It was a big chocolate bar. + +"Your turn, Lily," Tom said. He hoped Lily would roll a low number. + +Lily rolled the dice. It showed six. She moved her toy six spaces. She was very close to the end. + +"Wow, Lily, you are lucky!" Tom said. He tried to sound happy, but he was not. He rolled the dice. It showed one. He moved his toy one space. He was very far from the end. + +"Ha ha, Tom, you are slow!" Lily said. She laughed. She rolled the dice again. It showed six. She moved her toy six spaces. She reached the end. + +"Yay, I win! I win!" Lily shouted. She picked up the chocolate bar. She felt a victory. She felt rich. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Tom said. He was angry. He wanted the chocolate bar too. "You rolled six twice. That's cheating. You have to repeat. Roll again." + +"No, I don't. I win. You lose. The game is over," Lily said. She hugged the chocolate bar. She did not want to share. + +"Yes, you do. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat," Tom said. He grabbed the dice. He threw it at Lily. It hit her on the head. + +"Ow, Tom, that hurts!" Lily said. She dropped the chocolate bar. She started to cry. + +Tom felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He just wanted the chocolate bar. He picked up the chocolate bar. He broke it in half. He gave one half to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. Here, have some chocolate. You win. You are rich. But I am rich too. We can both be rich," Tom said. + +Lily stopped crying. She smiled. She took the chocolate. She gave Tom a hug. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are nice. We can both be rich. We can both be friends," Lily said. + +They ate the chocolate. They felt happy. They played another game. They had fun. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play in the big building where they lived. They liked to press the buttons on the elevator and go up and down. Sometimes they met other people who wanted to use the elevator too, but Ben and Mia did not like to share. + +One day, they saw a man with a big box waiting for the elevator. He looked tired and sweaty. Ben and Mia ran to the elevator and pressed all the buttons. They wanted to make the elevator stop at every floor and make the man wait. + +"Hey, stop that!" the man said. "I need to take this box to the top floor. It is very heavy and important. You are being very rude and selfish." + +Ben and Mia did not listen. They laughed and pressed more buttons. They thought it was funny to make the man angry. They did not care about his box or his feelings. + +The elevator started to move, but it did not go up. It went down, very fast. Ben and Mia felt scared. They screamed and held each other. The man tried to calm them down, but he was scared too. He did not know what was wrong with the elevator. + +The elevator stopped at the basement. The doors opened and they saw a woman in a uniform. She had a tool belt and a walkie-talkie. She looked at them and frowned. + +"What are you doing here?" she asked. "This elevator is broken. It needs to be fixed. You could have been hurt. Who pressed all these buttons?" + +Ben and Mia pointed at each other. They did not want to get in trouble. The man sighed and shook his head. + +"They did it," he said. "They were playing with the elevator and did not let me use it. They were very persistent and annoying." + +The woman looked at Ben and Mia. She saw that they were scared and sorry. She decided to teach them a lesson. + +"Come with me," she said. "I will show you something. Maybe it will make you change your mind about playing with the elevator." + +She took them to a room where there were many wires and machines. She showed them how the elevator worked and how it could break. She told them that the elevator was not a toy, but a machine that helped people move around the building. She told them that they should be kind and respectful to other people who needed the elevator. + +Ben and Mia listened and learned. They felt ashamed and apologized to the man and the woman. They promised to never play with the elevator again. They asked the woman to take them back to their floor. + +The woman smiled and nodded. She took them back to the elevator and pressed the button for their floor. She gave them a sticker that said "Elevator Expert". She told them that they could help her check the elevator sometimes, if they behaved well. + +Ben and Mia thanked the woman and hugged her. They said goodbye to the man and wished him luck with his box. They went back to their apartment and told their mom what happened. They showed her their stickers and said that they learned a lot. They said that they changed their mind about playing with the elevator. + +Their mom was proud and happy. She hugged them and gave them a cookie. She told them that they did a good thing and that she loved them. She told them that they could play with their toys or read a book, but not with the elevator. + +Ben and Mia agreed and smiled. They decided to play with their blocks and make a tower. They did not want to play with the elevator anymore. They learned their lesson. They were good twins. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with blocks and cars. But they do not like to learn new things. They do not listen to their tutor, who comes to their house every week. The tutor tries to teach them letters and numbers, but they only make noise and run away. + +One day, the tutor brings a big book with pictures. He says, "This is a book about animals. Do you want to see?" Tim and Kim nod. They like animals. They gather around the tutor and look at the book. The tutor points to a picture of a lion. He says, "This is a lion. It is big and strong. It can roar. Can you say lion?" + +Tim and Kim repeat, "Lion." They smile. The tutor turns the page. He shows them a picture of a monkey. He says, "This is a monkey. It is small and funny. It can climb and swing. Can you say monkey?" + +Tim and Kim say, "Monkey." They giggle. The tutor turns the page. He shows them a picture of a fish. He says, "This is a fish. It is wet and shiny. It can swim and breathe in water. Can you say fish?" + +Tim and Kim say, "Fish." They are curious. The tutor turns the page. He shows them a picture of a bird. He says, "This is a bird. It is colorful and pretty. It can fly and sing. Can you say bird?" + +Tim and Kim say, "Bird." They are amazed. The tutor turns the page. He shows them a picture of a letter. He says, "This is a letter. It is a shape that makes a sound. It can help you read and write. Can you say letter?" + +Tim and Kim look at the letter. They do not know what it is. They do not know what to say. They feel ashamed. They lower their heads. They say, "Sorry, tutor. We do not know letter." + +The tutor smiles. He says, "That's okay, Tim and Kim. You do not have to be ashamed. You can learn letter. You are smart and brave. You just have to try. Do you want to try?" + +Tim and Kim look at each other. They nod. They say, "Yes, tutor. We want to try. We want to learn letter." + +The tutor hugs them. He says, "Good, Tim and Kim. I am proud of you. Let's start with the letter A. It makes the sound /a/. Can you say /a/?" + +Tim and Kim say, "/a/." They feel happy. They want to learn more letters. They want to read and write. They thank the tutor for the book. They say, "We like book. We like tutor. We like to learn." +Tom and Mia were friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they found a pair of sunglasses on the grass. They were big and shiny. + +"Wow, look at these!" Tom said. "They are so cool!" + +"Can I try them on?" Mia asked. + +"OK, but only for a little bit," Tom said. He gave the sunglasses to Mia. She put them on her face. She felt very happy. + +Tom and Mia ran around the grass. They pretended to be spies and superheroes. They had a lot of fun. But Tom wanted his sunglasses back. + +"Mia, give me the sunglasses now," Tom said. "It's my turn." + +"No, I like them too much," Mia said. "They are mine now." + +"That's not fair!" Tom said. He got angry. He ran to Mia and tried to grab the sunglasses. Mia did not want to let go. They pulled and pushed. The sunglasses broke in half. + +Tom and Mia stopped. They looked at the broken sunglasses. They felt very sad. They had ruined their fun. They had lost their friend. They lay on the grass and cried. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the classroom. They have many toys and books. They also have a big window. They can see the trees and the birds. + +One day, Lily and Ben find a new toy. It is a magnifying glass. It makes things look bigger. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to examine everything with the magnifying glass. + +"Look, Ben, this is a flower. It has many colors and shapes. It is very pretty," Lily says, holding the magnifying glass over a picture. + +"Wow, Lily, you are right. It is very pretty. Can I see?" Ben asks, reaching for the magnifying glass. + +"Sure, Ben, here you go. You can examine the flower too. It is easy and fun," Lily says, giving the magnifying glass to Ben. + +Ben looks at the flower. He sees the petals, the stem, and the pollen. He smiles. He likes the flower. He thanks Lily for sharing. + +Lily and Ben take turns examining different things with the magnifying glass. They examine a pencil, a button, a coin, and a feather. They learn new things and have fun. They are happy. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They loved to see the flowers bloom in different colors. One day, they saw a big sign that said "Flower Show". It had a picture of many flowers and a ticket. + +"Look, Ben!" Lily said. "A flower show! Can we go, please?" + +Ben nodded. He liked flowers too. They ran to their mom and showed her the sign. + +"Mom, mom, can we go to the flower show?" they asked. + +Mom smiled. She liked flowers too. She checked the sign and saw that the show was today. + +"Sure, we can go," she said. "But we need to buy tickets first. Let's go to the shop and get some." + +Lily and Ben were very happy. They followed their mom to the shop and bought three tickets. Then they walked to the park where the show was. They saw many tents with different flowers inside. They wanted to see them all. + +They went to the first tent. It had roses. They were red, pink, yellow and white. They smelled very nice. Lily and Ben touched them gently. + +"Wow, they are so pretty!" Lily said. + +"Yes, they are," Ben said. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a dog. It was big and brown. It was nosy. It wanted to see the flowers too. It ran into the tent and knocked over a vase. The water spilled and the roses fell. + +"Hey, stop that!" a man shouted. He was the owner of the roses. He was angry. He chased the dog out of the tent. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not like the dog. They did not like the noise. They did not like the angry man. They ran to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there was a dog and it made a mess and the man was mad!" they said. + +Mom hugged them. She saw the dog and the man. She was sorry for the roses. + +"It's okay, sweeties," she said. "The dog was just curious. The man was just upset. It was an accident. Let's go to another tent and see more flowers. Maybe we can find some that you like better." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They still liked flowers. They hoped the dog would not come back. They followed their mom to another tent. It had sunflowers. They were big and yellow and bright. They smiled at them. Lily and Ben smiled back. They liked the sunflowers. They forgot about the dog and the roses. They enjoyed the flower show. +Anna likes to mix things. She has a big bowl and a spoon. She puts flour, water, salt and sugar in the bowl. She stirs and stirs. She makes a sticky dough. + +She wants to make cookies for her grandma. Her grandma will visit her today. Anna is happy. She loves her grandma. + +She rolls the dough on the table. She cuts out shapes with a cookie cutter. She puts them on a tray. She asks her mom to help her bake them. + +"Mom, can you put these in the oven?" she says. + +"Sure, honey. They look yummy. But be careful, the oven is hot," her mom says. + +They put the tray in the oven. They wait for the cookies to be ready. They smell good. + +Anna hears a knock on the door. She runs to open it. It is her grandma. + +"Grandma, grandma, you are here!" she shouts. + +"Hello, my sweetie. I missed you so much," her grandma says. She hugs Anna. + +They go to the kitchen. Anna shows her grandma the cookies. + +"Look, grandma, I made these for you. I mixed flour, water, salt and sugar. Do you like them?" she says. + +"They look wonderful, Anna. You are a great baker. Thank you, my dear," her grandma says. She takes a bite. She smiles. + +They sit on the couch. They eat cookies and drink milk. They talk and laugh. They are happy. + +Anna's mom joins them. She is happy too. She loves her mom and her daughter. + +They have a nice visit. It is noisy, but it is fun. They are a family. +Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play, but it was too cold outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do. + +"I know!" Lily said. "Let's create a surprise for Mommy and Daddy. They will be happy when they come home." + +"What kind of surprise?" Ben asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She saw some paper, crayons, scissors and glue on the table. "Let's make them a card. We can draw and cut and stick things on it. It will be pretty and colorful." + +Ben liked the idea. He grabbed some paper and crayons and followed Lily to the table. They started to create their surprise. They drew hearts and flowers and stars. They cut out shapes and letters. They glued them on the card. They wrote "We love you" and "Thank you" and their names. + +They were very proud of their work. They looked for a good place to hide the card. They found a spot under the pillow on Mommy and Daddy's bed. They ran to the bedroom and put the card there. They smiled at each other. + +"Shh, don't tell them. It's a secret," Lily whispered. + +"OK, I won't. It's our surprise," Ben whispered back. + +They went back to the living room and waited for Mommy and Daddy to come home. They hoped they would like their surprise. They hugged each other and giggled. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a small pool that their dad filled with water on hot days. + +One day, Anna and Ben saw a shiny star in the sky. They wanted to have it for themselves. They thought of a plan to get the star. They took a ladder from the garage and put it against the wall of the house. They climbed up the ladder and tried to reach the star. + +"Give me the star, Anna!" Ben said. + +"No, it's mine, Ben!" Anna said. + +They both pulled on the star, but it was too far away. They did not see that the ladder was moving. It fell down with a loud noise. Anna and Ben fell down too. They hurt their arms and legs. They started to cry. + +Their dad heard the noise and ran outside. He saw the ladder, the star and the twins. He was very angry and sad. + +"What were you doing, Anna and Ben?" he asked. + +"We wanted the star, dad," they said. + +"Don't you know that the star is not for you? It is for everyone to see and enjoy. You were very naughty to take the ladder and climb up the wall. You could have hurt yourselves or broken something. You have to pay for what you did. You have to say sorry and help me put the ladder back. And no more playing outside today. You have to stay in your room and think about what you did wrong." + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry to their dad and helped him put the ladder back. They went to their room and thought about what they did wrong. They learned that they should not be greedy and selfish. They should share and be careful. They also learned that the star was not for them, but for everyone. They looked out the window and saw the star shining brightly. They smiled and said thank you to the star. +Tom likes to play guitar. He has a red guitar that makes loud sounds. He plays it every day in his room. He likes to sing songs with his guitar. + +One day, his mom says, "Tom, it is time to go to the park. Put your guitar away and get your coat." Tom does not want to go to the park. He wants to play guitar. He says, "No, mom, I want to play guitar. Guitar is fun. Park is boring." + +Mom says, "Tom, you can play guitar later. The park is fun too. You can swing and slide and run. You can play with your friends. Come on, let's go." Tom thinks for a moment. He likes to swing and slide and run. He likes to play with his friends. But he also likes to play guitar. + +He decides to go to the park with his mom. He says, "OK, mom, I will go to the park. But can I bring my guitar?" Mom smiles and says, "Sure, Tom, you can bring your guitar. But you have to be careful with it. And you have to play it softly, not loud. Some people might not like loud sounds." + +Tom agrees and puts his coat on. He takes his red guitar and follows his mom to the car. He is happy. He can play guitar and go to the park. He thinks, "Maybe I can teach my friends how to play guitar. Maybe we can sing songs together. That would be fun." He looks forward to the park. He hopes his friends will like his guitar. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play pretend. Today, they are doctors and nurses. They have a big box of toys.

You make me smile," Mom says. + +"You are welcome, Mom. We love you. You are the best mom ever," Sara and Tom say. + +They hug Mom. They play some more. They have fun. Mom is not dull anymore. She is happy. +Lily was sad. She missed her friends from school. She could not see them because of the big sick. She only had her toys and her books at home. + +One day, she saw a new show on the TV. It was about a network of animals who helped each other. There was a wise owl, a brave lion, a kind elephant, and many more. They had fun adventures and learned new things. + +Lily liked the show. She wanted to be friends with the animals. She pretended that her toys were the animals from the show. She talked to them and played with them. + +"Hello, owl. You are very wise. Can you tell me a story?" she asked. + +"Of course, Lily. I have many stories to share. Do you want to hear about the time I met the moon?" the owl said. + +"Yes, please. That sounds exciting!" Lily said. + +The owl told her a story about how he flew high in the sky and talked to the moon. He asked the moon why he changed his shape and why he sometimes hid behind the clouds. The moon told him that he liked to play games and surprise the animals. He also said that he watched over them and gave them light at night. + +Lily listened to the story with wonder. She felt happy and comforted. She thanked the owl and hugged him. + +"You are welcome, Lily. You are a good friend. I am glad you like my stories," the owl said. + +Lily smiled. She felt less sad. She had a network of friends in her imagination. She decided to watch the show again and learn more about the animals. She hoped that one day she could see her friends from school again. But until then, she had her toys and her books and her TV show. She was not alone. +Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big slide. Lila wanted to go first, but Tom said no. He said he was bigger and faster. Lila frowned. She did not like it when Tom was bossy. + +"Please, let me go first," Lila said. "I have never been on this slide yet. It looks fun." + +"No, I go first," Tom said. "You can go after me. It is my turn." + +Lila was sad. She did not want to wait. She wanted to have fun too. She crossed her arms and sat on the grass. She did not look at Tom. + +Tom climbed up the ladder. He reached the top of the slide. He looked down. He saw Lila sitting on the grass. She looked unhappy. He felt sorry. He did not want to make Lila sad. He wanted to make her happy. He had an idea. + +"Lila, come here," Tom said. "I have something to show you." + +Lila looked up. She saw Tom waving at her. She was curious. She got up and walked to the slide. + +"What is it?" Lila asked. + +Tom smiled. He moved to the side. He made room for Lila. He pointed to the slide. + +"Look, we can go together," Tom said. "We can hold hands and slide down. It will be more fun." + +Lila smiled too. She liked Tom's idea. She climbed up the ladder. She reached the top of the slide. She held Tom's hand. They looked at each other. They were happy. + +"Ready?" Tom asked. + +"Ready!" Lila said. + +They slid down the slide. They laughed and screamed. They felt the wind in their hair. They landed on the ground. They hugged each other. They were best friends again. + +The park was peaceful. The sun was shining. The birds were singing. Lila and Tom played some more. They shared their toys. They did not frown anymore. They had fun. +Ben and Lily liked to play soccer with their friends. They had a big field near their house, where they could run and kick the ball. Sometimes, they played with their dad, who was very good at soccer. + +One day, they were playing soccer with their dad and some other kids. Ben had the ball and he saw Lily open. He wanted to pass the ball to her, so she could score a goal. He kicked the ball hard and said, "Lily, catch!" + +But the ball did not go to Lily. It went to a man who was walking by the field. The man had a bag of food in his hand. He was surprised by the ball and dropped his bag. The food fell out and rolled on the grass. + +The man was not happy. He picked up his bag and his food. He looked at Ben and said, "Hey, kid, watch where you kick the ball! You almost hit me in the face! And you made me drop my lunch! It was spicy chicken, and now it's dirty!" + +Ben felt bad. He did not mean to kick the ball to the man. He said, "I'm sorry, mister. I was trying to pass the ball to my sister. I didn't see you there." + +Lily ran to Ben and said, "It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. Don't be sad." + +The man saw that Ben and Lily were sorry. He was not so angry anymore. He said, "It's okay, kids. I know you were just playing. But be careful next time. And here, you can have some of my chicken. It's spicy, but maybe you'll like it." + +He gave Ben and Lily some pieces of chicken. They thanked him and tried the chicken. It was spicy, but it was also tasty. They liked it. + +They said goodbye to the man and went back to their dad and their friends. They continued to play soccer, but they were more careful with their passes. They had fun and they learned something new. They learned that spicy chicken can be good, and that saying sorry can make things better. +Anna and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They were very happy and excited. They wanted to see the dolphins, too. They liked dolphins a lot. They were smart and friendly. + +They ran to the pool where the dolphins were. They saw two dolphins swimming and jumping. They clapped their hands and laughed. They wanted to talk to the dolphins. They leaned over the fence and called them. + +"Hello, dolphins! We are Anna and Ben. We are your friends. Can you come and play with us?" + +But the dolphins did not come. They did not hear Anna and Ben. They were too busy. They had to do a show for the people. They had to follow the trainer's commands. They had to do tricks and stunts. They had no time to play. + +Anna and Ben waited and waited. They felt sad and angry. They did not like the show. They did not like the trainer. They wanted the dolphins to be free and happy. They wanted the dolphins to be their friends. + +They frowned and cried. They did not want to stay at the zoo. They wanted to go home. They told their mom. + +"Mom, we don't like the zoo. We don't like the dolphins. They are not our friends. They are busy. They don't care about us. Can we go home, please?" + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, Anna and Ben. I know you love dolphins. But they are not pets. They are wild animals. They have their own lives. They can't always play with us. Maybe we can come back another day and see them again. Maybe they will be less busy then. Maybe they will talk to us then. OK?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They wiped their tears. They followed their mom to the car. They left the zoo. They did not look back. They did not say goodbye to the dolphins. They did not smile. They were still sad. They did not have a good day. The end. +Tom is a boy who likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He also likes to share his cars with his friends. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom and his cars. He sees a girl sitting on a bench with a big doll.

She says, "Hello, I am Lily. This is my doll, Anna. She is my best friend." + +Tom nods and says, "Can I see your doll? She is very pretty." + +Lily hugs her doll and says, "Yes, you can see her, but you have to be gentle. She is very delicate." + +Tom says, "OK, I will be gentle. Can I hold her?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes Tom, but she loves her doll. She says, "You can hold her, but only for a little while. And you have to give me one of your cars." + +Tom agrees. He says, "OK, I will give you one of my cars. Which one do you want?" + +Lily looks at Tom's cars. She sees a red one, a blue one, a yellow one, and a green one. She likes the green one. She says, "I want the green one. It is my favorite color." + +Tom says, "OK, here is the green one. It is very fast and reliable. It never breaks." + +Lily takes the green car and gives Tom her doll. Tom holds the doll carefully. He feels her soft hair and her smooth dress. He says, "She is very nice. Can I touch her neck?" + +Lily says, "Yes, you can touch her neck, but be gentle. She has a necklace. It is very shiny and precious. My grandma gave it to me." + +Tom touches the necklace. He sees it sparkle in the sun. He says, "Wow, it is very shiny and precious. Can I have it?" + +Lily says, "No, you can't have it. It is mine. You can only look at it." + +Tom says, "OK, I will only look at it. But can I request something?" + +Lily says, "What do you want to request?" + +Tom says, "Can I be your friend?" + +Lily smiles and says, "Yes, you can be my friend. You are very nice and gentle." + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you. You are very nice and pretty." + +They hug and exchange their toys. They play together until their moms call them.

One day, they find a new blouse in Anna's closet. It is pink and has flowers on it. + +"Wow, this blouse is so pretty!" Lily says. "Can I put it on my doll?" + +"Sure, you can," Anna says. "But you have to be careful. It is my mom's blouse. She does not like it when we take her clothes." + +Lily nods. She is very gentle with the blouse. She puts it on her doll and makes her look like a princess. Anna and Lily discuss how to make a crown and a necklace for the doll. + +They have a lot of fun. They do not hear Anna's mom coming home. She opens the closet and sees the blouse missing. She is not happy. + +"Anna, Lily, where are you?" she calls. "What did you do with my blouse?" + +Anna and Lily hear her voice. They are scared. They hide under the bed with their dolls. + +"Mom, we are sorry," Anna says. "We just wanted to play dress-up. We did not hurt your blouse." + +Anna's mom looks under the bed. She sees the two girls and their dolls. She is still angry, but she is also calm. She knows they did not mean to be bad. + +"Girls, you know you should not take my clothes without asking," she says. "That blouse is very special to me. It was a gift from your grandma. You could have ruined it or lost it." + +Anna and Lily feel sorry. They say they are sorry. They give the blouse back to Anna's mom. They hug her and tell her they love her. + +Anna's mom forgives them. She hugs them back and tells them she loves them too. She says they can play dress-up with their own clothes. She helps them find some nice outfits for their dolls. They smile and thank her. They are happy again. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They are happy. + +But one day, Sara forgets to bring water. She is thirsty. She looks for water, but she cannot find any. She sees a pond. The pond is green. Sara thinks the water is green too. + +She says to Tom, "Look, Tom, water! Let's drink some." + +Tom shakes his head. He says, "No, Sara, no. That is not water. That is pond. Pond is not good to drink. Pond has dirt and bugs and frogs. Pond can make you sick." + +Sara does not listen. She is too thirsty. She runs to the pond. She bends down. She opens her mouth. + +But before she can drink, a frog jumps out of the pond. The frog lands on Sara's nose. Sara screams. She falls back. She drops her cup. + +Tom runs to Sara. He helps her up. He says, "Are you okay, Sara? I told you not to drink the pond. The pond is not water. The pond is green." + +Sara rubs her nose. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was thirsty. I forgot to bring water. I thought the pond was water. But you are right. The pond is not water. The pond is green. And the pond has frogs." + +Tom smiles. He says, "It's okay, Sara. I forgive you. But next time, remember to bring water. Water is good to drink. Water is clear. And water has no frogs." + +Sara smiles too. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. Next time, I will remember to bring water. And maybe a snack too. Do you like cookies?" + +Tom nods. He says, "I love cookies. Cookies are yummy. Cookies are sweet. And cookies have no frogs." + +They laugh. They hug. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily wanted to go to the park. They asked their mom if they could go. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful. She said they had to hold hands and look both ways before crossing the street. She also said they had to stay away from the rail. + +The rail was a big metal thing that ran along the park. It had loud noises and fast things on it. Mom said the rail was for trains, and trains were not for playing. She said trains could hurt them if they got too close. + +Tom and Lily said okay and went to the park. They played on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They had a lot of fun. But then Tom saw something shiny on the rail. He wanted to see what it was. He let go of Lily's hand and ran to the rail. + +Lily saw Tom running to the rail. She was scared. She shouted, "Tom, no! Mom said no rail!" But Tom did not hear her. He reached the rail and picked up the shiny thing. It was a coin. He was happy. + +But then he heard a loud noise. He looked up and saw a big, fast thing coming. It was a train. It was very close. Tom was scared. He dropped the coin and tried to run away. But he was too slow. + +An elderly man saw Tom on the rail. He was sitting on a bench near the park. He was a kind man. He got up and ran to Tom. He grabbed Tom and pulled him away from the rail. He saved Tom from the train. + +Lily ran to Tom and the elderly man. She hugged Tom and cried. She was happy he was safe. She said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" to the elderly man. The elderly man smiled and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome!" He said he was glad he was there to help. He said Tom was a brave boy, but he had to listen to his mom. He said the rail was dangerous and he should never go near it again. + +Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He said he was sorry to the elderly man, to Lily, and to his mom. He said he learned his lesson. He said he would never go to the rail again. He said he would always hold Lily's hand and look both ways before crossing the street. + +Mom came to the park and saw Tom, Lily, and the elderly man. She was worried and angry and relieved. She thanked the elderly man for saving Tom. She hugged Tom and Lily and said she loved them. She said she was proud of Lily for being smart and careful.

She said he was not allowed to go to the park for a long time. + +Tom and Lily said they were sorry to Mom. They said they loved her too. They said they would be good and follow the rules. They said they would never forget the elderly man and the train and the rail. They said they learned a lot that day. They said they were lucky to be alive. +Sam and Lily are playing in the yard. They see a big pile of leaves that Dad made with the rake. Sam and Lily run to the pile and jump in. They laugh and throw leaves in the air. + +"Look, Lily, a bow!" Sam says. He picks up a red ribbon that was in the leaves. He puts it on his head and pretends to be a king. "I am King Sam, and you are my queen. Bow to me, Lily!" + +Lily giggles and bows to Sam. She sees a yellow ribbon and puts it on her neck. She pretends to be a princess. "I am Princess Lily, and you are my king. Bow to me, Sam!" + +Sam and Lily bow to each other and smile.

They saw lions and tigers and bears. They saw stars and planets and rockets. They saw colors and shapes and people. They learned many new words and facts.

They talk about their favorite things. + +"I like red ice," Sam says. "Red is my favorite color. Red is bright and strong." + +"I like blue ice," Mia says. "Blue is my favorite color. Blue is calm and cool." + +They look at each other's ice. They have an idea. + +"Let's trade!" Sam says. "I want to try blue ice. You can try red ice." + +"OK!" Mia says. "That sounds fun. I want to try red ice. You can try blue ice." + +They swap their cones. They lick their new ice. They make a face. + +"Yuck!" Sam says. "Blue ice is not good. Blue ice is sour and bitter." + +"Yuck!" Mia says. "Red ice is not good. Red ice is spicy and hot." + +They swap their cones again. They lick their old ice. They smile. + +"Ah!" Sam says. "Red ice is good. Red ice is sweet and tasty." + +"Ah!" Mia says. "Blue ice is good. Blue ice is smooth and refreshing." + +They finish their ice. They throw their cones in the trash. They hug each other. + +"We are good friends," Sam says. "We like different things, but we share and try." + +"We are good friends," Mia says. "We are flexible. We can change and learn." + +They hold hands and run to the slide. They play some more. They are happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see many birds in the park. They want to talk to the birds. + +"Hello, bird!" Lily says to a blue bird on a tree. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The bird looks at Lily and makes a sound. "Tweet, tweet!" + +"What does it say?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. I don't understand bird talk," Lily says. + +"Maybe we can learn bird talk," Tom says. "Then we can be friends with the birds." + +They try to make sounds like the birds. They say "tweet, tweet" and "chirp, chirp" and "caw, caw". The birds hear them and fly to them.

"They want to have fun with us." + +They laugh and play with the birds. They feel happy and ready for more adventures. They love the park and the birds. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a red car and Ben has a blue truck. They make noises and pretend to drive around the carpet. + +"Look, Anna, my truck can carry this big box!" Ben says, lifting a cardboard box with a label on it. + +"What does the label say?" Anna asks, curious. + +Ben looks at the label and tries to read it. He sees some letters and numbers, but he does not know what they mean. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's a secret. Do you want to open it and see what's inside?" Ben suggests. + +Anna nods and they put the box on the floor. They pull the tape and open the flaps. Inside, they find a lot of books with colorful pictures and words. + +"Wow, books!" Anna exclaims, picking one up. + +"Books are boring. I like trucks better," Ben says, making a face. + +Anna opens the book and sees a story about a princess and a dragon. She likes the pictures and the words. She tries to read them, but some of them are too hard. + +"Ben, can you help me read this book?" Anna asks, holding the book to him. + +Ben looks at the book and shakes his head. + +"No, I can't. I don't like books. They are too hard and too long. I like trucks. They are easy and fun," Ben says, turning away. + +Anna feels sad. She likes books and she wants to share them with Ben. She thinks of an idea. + +"Ben, I have an idea. Why don't we trade our toys for a while? You can play with my red car and I can play with your blue truck. Then we can try each other's toys and see if we like them. Maybe you will like books too, if you try them. I recommend you to try them. They are fun and interesting," Anna says, smiling. + +Ben thinks about it. He likes Anna and he wants to make her happy. He also likes her red car. It looks fast and shiny. + +"OK, Anna, let's trade our toys. But only for a while. Then we can trade back. Maybe you will like trucks too, if you try them. I recommend you to try them. They are strong and cool," Ben says, agreeing. + +Anna and Ben trade their toys and start playing with them. They discover new things and have fun. They also look at each other's books and learn new words and stories. They find out that they have more in common than they thought. They are happy and they thank each other for sharing.

Lily drew a picture of her fluffy white cat. + +"Look at my picture!" Ben said, holding up his paper. "It is a truck. It can go fast and make loud noises." + +"Look at my picture!" Lily said, holding up her paper. "It is a cat. It can purr and cuddle and play." + +They showed each other their pictures and smiled. They were proud of their work. + +But then, a gust of wind came through the window and blew their pictures away. They flew out of their hands and landed on the grass outside. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Lily cried. "Our pictures!" + +They ran outside to get them back. But the wind was still blowing and the pictures were moving. Ben chased his truck picture. Lily chased her cat picture. + +"Come back, picture!" Ben shouted. "You are my truck!" + +"Come back, picture!" Lily shouted. "You are my cat!" + +They ran and ran, but they could not catch their pictures. They were too fast and too far. + +They were about to give up, when they saw something. Their pictures were heading towards the road. There were cars and buses and bikes on the road. It was dangerous. + +"Stop, pictures!" Ben and Lily yelled. "You will get hurt!" + +They ran faster and faster, trying to save their pictures. They reached the edge of the road. They looked both ways. They waited for a gap. + +Then, they dashed across the road. They grabbed their pictures. They held them tight. + +They did it. They saved their pictures. + +They were happy and relieved. They hugged each other and their pictures. + +"Thank you for saving my picture!" Ben said to Lily. "You are a good sister." + +"Thank you for saving my picture!" Lily said to Ben. "You are a good brother." + +They smiled and walked back to their house. They were careful with the wind. They closed the window. They taped their pictures on the wall. + +They looked at their pictures and admired them. They were still proud of their work. + +But they were more proud of each other. + +They learned a lesson. Sometimes, pictures can be stubborn. But sometimes, stubborn can be good. Stubborn can help you save what you love. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big drum in the park. It is red and shiny. It makes a loud noise when you hit it. + +"Wow, look at this drum!" Lily says. "Can I try it?" + +"Me first!" Ben says.

She hits the drum with the stick. Clang! Clang! Clang! + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben says. He is surprised. He drops the drum. He looks at Lily. + +"This is not your drum!" Lily says. "This is a drum for everyone! You have to share!" + +Ben feels ashamed. He knows he was wrong. He says sorry to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I was selfish. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily smiles. She forgives Ben. She says yes. + +They hug. They pick up the drum together. They take turns to play with it. They have fun.

The dog sees the purple ball and runs towards it. It wants to play too. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Anna yells. She runs after the dog. Ben follows her. They try to get the ball back from the dog. But the dog is faster and stronger. It grabs the ball with its teeth and runs away. + +"Come back, dog!" Ben yells. He is sad and angry. He likes the purple ball. He does not want to lose it. He chases the dog across the park. + +The dog runs to a bench where a lady is sitting. The lady is wearing a purple hat and a purple dress. She has a purple bag on her lap.

It was a dish, but it was a very rare dish. It didn't look like any other dish James had seen before. + +He carefully picked up the dish and took it over to his mother, who was in the kitchen. "Mommy, I found this dish in the garden!" he said. His mother looked at it and said, "That's a special dish, James. It's so rare. It's made of wood, so it will rot if you leave it outside too long." + +James was sad at first, but his mother helped him think of a good place to keep the dish. They decided to put it in the cupboard, where it wouldn't get wet and it would be safe from the sun. + +James was so proud of his rare dish. He loved it so much that he looked after it every day. He made sure it stayed clean and dry, so it wouldn't rot. +Once upon a time, there lived a yellow zebra in the grasslands. He was usually very happy, but today he felt sad.

But he couldn't reach it and he was getting even more soaked. + +Then two little giraffes walked nearby and saw the yellow zebra's dilemma. The giraffes picked up the umbrella and passed it over to the zebra. The zebra was so happy he kicked and whinnied with joy. + +The zebra and the giraffes were now friends. The giraffes had showed that even though they were small, they could still help out. + +This story teaches us that when faced with problems, there's always a way to find help. We just need to keep our eyes open and look for it. +Jim, a small boy, was walking one day when he came to an empty field. He looked around and noticed an old well.
