We should only do things that make us safe. +One day, John and his mum were walking together. Suddenly, a folder appeared in the sky.

Don't go inside." + +The bunny was a bit scared, but also curious, so he asked carefully, "Who are you?" + +The voice replied, "I am an old, wise fox. I know of many foolish tunnels, and this is one of them!" + +The bunny thanked the fox and decided to stay away from the tunnel. He hopped back around the garden and was much more careful from that day onwards. +Once there was a little boy who loved to make crafts. He had a big box with lots of different materials and he spent hours sitting and making things with strings, thread and glue. + +One day, while the little boy was in the garden, he saw a very fine thread of cotton floating in the breeze. He followed the thread, picking it up and curling it around his finger. + +The thread led him to the garden gate. The little boy opened the gate and went through, still following the thread.

He looked up and saw a really tiny creature. + +The creature said, “Please follow my thread. I will make you the happiest person in the world.†+ +The little boy eagerly followed the creature, but it led him to a deep, dark hole in the ground.

Instead of large green oak trees, he saw a number of small trees. "This is odd," he thought. + +He drove a little further and soon he came to a clearing. In the center of the clearing was a giant oak tree. It must have been as tall as three houses! Henry thought it was amazing. + +He stopped the car and got out. As he walked closer to the oak tree, he noticed something even more incredible--a little seedling underneath the tree. It was barely noticeable, but it was there. + +Henry smiled and said to himself, "This little seedling reminds me of me when I was a kid. Maybe one day this tree will be just as great as the other one." + +So from then on, every time Henry drove past the clearing, he stopped to check on the little seedling.

She knew she could trust her mother to always make sure she had something yummy to eat.

He laughed at her and said, "Look at Lily and her silly shoes. She thinks she is so fancy. She is just a baby." He ran past her and jumped in the puddle. He splashed mud all over Lily and her shoes. + +Lily felt very sad and angry. She looked at her shoes. They were not bright and clean anymore. They were disgusting. She looked at Ben. He was wet and muddy. He grinned at her and said, "Ha ha, Lily. Now your shoes are as ugly as you." + +Lily did not cry. She did not run away. She did not say anything. She just picked up her red cloth and her shiny tin of polish. She walked up to Ben and threw them at his face. He screamed and dropped to the ground. He rubbed his eyes and his nose. He said, "Ow, ow, ow. Lily, you are so mean. You hurt me. You are a bad girl." + +Lily did not care. She felt better. She walked away and left him there. She did not need her cloth and her polish anymore. She did not need her shoes anymore. She did not need Ben anymore. She only needed herself. She was not a baby. She was not ugly. She was Lily. And she was strong. +Lily and Tom like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. Lily's favorite car is a red one with a big engine. Tom's favorite car is a blue one with a zip. Zip means it can go very fast. + +One day, they decide to race their cars on the floor. They make a line with a book and say, "Ready, set, go!" They push their cars and watch them zoom. Lily's car makes a loud noise with its engine. Tom's car makes a soft noise with its zip. + +"Wow, your car is so fast!" Lily says to Tom. "How do you make it zip?" + +Tom smiles and says, "I have a secret. My car is not new. It is old. It was my dad's car when he was little. He gave it to me and told me how to make it zip. You have to twist this thing on the back and then let it go. It has a spring inside that makes it zip." + +Lily is curious and wants to try. She asks Tom, "Can I play with your car for a bit? I want to see how it zips." + +Tom is nice and says, "Sure, you can play with my car. But be careful. It is old and sometimes it breaks. You have to fix it with tape and glue." + +Lily takes Tom's car and twists the thing on the back. She lets it go and watches it zip. She is amazed and says, "Wow, this is so fun! Your car is awesome!" + +Tom and Lily take turns playing with their cars. They have a lot of fun and laugh. They are good friends who like to share. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun, but they want to try something new. + +"Let's make a bridge for your car," Sara says. "We can use the string and the chairs." + +"OK," Ben says. "That sounds fun." + +They find a long string in the drawer and tie it to two chairs. They make the string tight and straight. They put some books on the string to make it stronger. + +"Now you can drive your car on the bridge," Sara says. "Be careful, don't let it fall." + +Ben puts his car on the string and pushes it slowly. The car moves on the bridge, but it is hard to balance. Ben tries to keep the car on the string, but it is too slippery. The car falls off the string and lands on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Ben says. "My car!" + +Sara runs to help him. She picks up the car and checks if it is OK. She sees that the car has a scratch on the door. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Sara says. "Your car is hurt." + +Ben looks at his car and feels sad. He likes his car very much. He doesn't want it to be hurt. + +"It's OK, Sara," Ben says. "It was an accident. You didn't mean to hurt my car." + +He hugs Sara and smiles. He is glad that Sara is his friend. He knows that she cares about him and his car. + +"Thank you, Sara," Ben says. "You are a good friend." + +Sara smiles back. She is happy that Ben is not mad at her. She knows that he is a good friend too. + +"You're welcome, Ben," Sara says. "You are a good friend too." + +They hug each other and play with their toys again. They decide to use the string for something else. They make a necklace for Sara's doll and a belt for Ben's car. They have fun with the string and their toys. They are happy and they gain more love for each other. +Ben and Lily were very tired. They had played all day with their toys and books. They had eaten a lot of food and drank a lot of juice. Now it was time to go to bed. + +"Come on, kids, brush your teeth and put on your pajamas," Mom said. "It's late and you need to sleep." + +Ben and Lily did what Mom said. They brushed their teeth with their toothbrushes and toothpaste. They put on their pajamas with their favorite colors and animals. They hugged Mom and said good night. + +Mom tucked them in their beds and gave them each a kiss. She turned off the light and left the room. + +Ben and Lily closed their eyes and tried to sleep. But they could not sleep. They heard a noise outside their window. It sounded like a big truck. + +"What is that?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it's a monster." + +They opened their eyes and looked at the window. They saw a big truck with a lot of boxes. A man got out of the truck and opened the door of their house. + +"Who is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it's a robber." + +They got scared and hid under their blankets. They heard the man walk into their house and talk to Mom. + +"Hi, I'm here to deliver your new sofa," the man said. + +"Oh, thank you, I've been waiting for it," Mom said. "Can you please put it in the living room?" + +"Sure, no problem," the man said. "But I have to warn you, this is a very cheap sofa. It might not last long." + +"I don't care, I just need a sofa," Mom said. "My old one was broken and dirty." + +The man carried the sofa into the living room and put it down. He took some money from Mom and left. + +Mom looked at the sofa and smiled. She sat on it and felt how soft it was. She smelled it and liked how new it was. She licked it and tasted how sweet it was. + +She yawned and stretched. She was happy with her cheap sofa. She decided to sleep on it tonight. + +She turned off the light and closed her eyes. She fell asleep on her cheap sofa. + +Ben and Lily heard Mom snore. They peeked out of their blankets and saw Mom on the sofa. They giggled and whispered. + +"Mom is silly," Ben said. + +"Yes, she is," Lily said. "Who licks a sofa?" + +They yawned and cuddled. They were not scared anymore. They decided to sleep in their beds tonight. + +They turned off the light and closed their eyes. They fell asleep in their beds. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Tom is scared. + +"Come on, Tom. It is fun. You can stand next to me and hold my hand," Lily says. + +Tom feels an urge to try the slide, but he also feels afraid. He shakes his head. + +"No, Lily. It is too high. I do not want to go on the slide," Tom says. + +Lily does not give up. She smiles and pulls Tom by the arm. + +"Please, Tom. It is not scary. It is fine. I will go with you. Trust me," Lily says. + +Tom looks at Lily's face. He sees that she is happy and brave. He thinks that maybe he can be happy and brave too. He nods his head. + +"Okay, Lily. I will try the slide. But you have to hold my hand," Tom says. + +Lily and Tom stand on the top of the slide. They hold hands. They count to three. They slide down together. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their skin. They laugh and scream. They reach the bottom of the slide. They hug each other. + +"That was fun, Lily. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend," Tom says. + +"You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. You are very brave. Do you want to go again?" Lily says. + +Tom looks at the slide. He feels an urge to go again. He smiles and nods. + +"Yes, Lily. I want to go again. Let's go!" Tom says. + +Lily and Tom run back to the slide. They stand on the top again. They hold hands again. They slide down again. They have a lot of fun. They are fine. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the floor, on the sofa, and on the table. + +One day, their mom says, "We are going to the park today. Do you want to bring your cars?" + +"Yes, yes!" Ben and Lily say. They pick their favorite cars and put them in their backpacks. + +Mom takes them to the car and buckles them in their seats. She drives to the park. Ben and Lily look out the window and see many things. They see trees, houses, dogs, and people. + +"Look, Lily, a big truck!" Ben says. + +"Wow, Ben, a red bus!" Lily says. + +They are happy to see different things on the road. + +Mom parks the car near the playground. She helps Ben and Lily get out of their seats. They run to the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They have a lot of fun. + +They also take out their cars and play with them on the grass. They make noises and stories with their cars. + +"Vroom, vroom, I am a fast car!" Ben says. + +"Beep, beep, I am a friendly car!" Lily says. + +They share their cars with other kids and make new friends. + +They play until it is time to go home. Mom says, "It is time to go, Ben and Lily. Say bye to your friends and pack your cars." + +"Bye, bye!" Ben and Lily say. They put their cars in their backpacks and hug their friends. + +They go back to the car and buckle in their seats. Mom drives them home. Ben and Lily are tired but happy. They had a good time at the park. They thank Mom for taking them. + +They can't wait to play with their cars again. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with grass and flowers. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lila!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find a treasure or a castle!" + +"OK, Ben!" Lila said. "But be careful, it is very hot today. We need to drink water and wear hats." + +They took their bottles and their hats and started to climb the hill. They passed by some rocks and some trees and some bugs. They saw a bird and a squirrel and a butterfly. They were having fun. + +But when they reached the top of the hill, they saw something that made them stop and scream. It was a snake. A big, long, black snake. It was lying on the grass, sunning itself. It looked at them with its small, shiny eyes. + +"Snake!" Lila shouted. "Snake! Snake! Snake!" + +"Run, Lila!" Ben shouted. "Run! Run! Run!" + +They turned around and ran down the hill as fast as they could. They did not look back. They did not pass by anything. They just ran and ran and ran. + +They reached the bottom of the hill and ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. They hugged them and told them what they saw. + +"A snake?" Mom said. "Are you sure? Maybe it was a stick or a rope." + +"No, Mom, it was a snake!" Lila said. "A big, scary snake!" + +"Wow, that must have been frightening," Dad said. "But you are safe now. Snakes don't like people. They usually stay away from them." + +"Really?" Ben said. "Then why was it on the hill?" + +"Maybe it was looking for a cool place to rest," Dad said. "It is very hot today, you know. Snakes are cold-blooded. They need the sun to warm them up." + +"Oh," Lila said. "I didn't know that." + +"Me neither," Ben said. + +They learned something new that day. They also learned to be careful when they climb hills. They never saw the snake again. But they always remembered it. And they always drank water and wore hats when it was hot. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom was a lion and Lily was a giraffe. + +"Roar!" Tom said, jumping on the couch. "I am a big and strong lion. I can catch any giraffe I want." + +"No, you can't!" Lily said, stretching her neck. "I am a tall and fast giraffe. I can run away from any lion I want." + +They chased each other around the room, laughing and giggling. They were having so much fun that they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Tom, Lily, come and eat!" their mom said, walking into the living room. "I made you some soup and sandwiches. They are yummy and warm." + +Tom and Lily stopped playing and ran to the kitchen. They were hungry and thirsty. They sat down at the table and started to eat. Their mom gave them each a bowl of soup and a sandwich. + +"Be careful, the soup is spicy," their mom said. "It has some pepper in it. Do you like it?" + +Tom took a sip of the soup and made a face. He did not like the spicy soup. It made his mouth hot and his eyes water. + +"Yuck!" Tom said, pushing the bowl away. "I don't like spicy soup. It hurts my mouth." + +Lily took a sip of the soup and smiled. She liked the spicy soup. It made her mouth warm and her nose tickle. + +"Yum!" Lily said, taking another sip. "I like spicy soup. It makes me happy." + +Their mom smiled and gave Tom a glass of milk. She said, "That's okay, Tom. You don't have to eat the spicy soup. You can have some milk and your sandwich. They are not spicy. They are sweet and soft." + +Tom drank some milk and ate his sandwich. He felt better. He said, "Thank you, mom. I like milk and sandwich. They are good." + +Their mom said, "You're welcome, Tom. I'm glad you like them. How about you, Lily? Do you want some milk and sandwich too?" + +Lily nodded and ate her sandwich. She also drank some milk. She said, "Thank you, mom. I like milk and sandwich too. They are good." + +Their mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm happy you like them. You both ate very well. Do you want some fruit for dessert?" + +Tom and Lily said, "Yes, please!" They loved fruit. Their mom gave them each a banana and an apple. They peeled the banana and bit the apple. They were sweet and juicy. + +They finished their fruit and said, "Thank you, mom. That was a good lunch." + +Their mom said, "You're welcome, Tom and Lily. I'm proud of you. You are very polite and nice. Do you want to play some more or do you want to take a nap?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They were full and tired. They said, "We want to take a nap." + +Their mom said, "Okay, let's go to your room. I'll read you a story and then you can sleep." + +Tom and Lily followed their mom to their room. They climbed into their beds and snuggled with their blankets. Their mom read them a story about a lion and a giraffe who were friends. They listened and smiled. They liked the story. + +Their mom said, "The end. Did you like the story?" + +Tom and Lily said, "Yes, we liked the story. It was a nice story." + +Their mom said, "I'm glad you liked it. It's time to sleep now. I love you, Tom and Lily. Have sweet dreams." + +Tom and Lily said, "We love you, mom. Have sweet dreams too." + +Their mom kissed them on their cheeks and turned off the light. She left the room and closed the door. Tom and Lily closed their eyes and fell asleep. They had a good nap. +Lily and Tom are brother and sister. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and a big lamp. The lamp is yellow and has a funny face. + +One day, Lily and Tom are bored. They do not want to play with their toys or read their books. They want to do something new and fun. + +"Let's play with the lamp!" Lily says. She has a playful idea. She runs to the lamp and turns it on and off. The lamp makes light and dark, light and dark. + +"Wow, that's fun!" Tom says. He joins Lily and turns the lamp on and off too. The lamp makes light and dark, light and dark. + +The lamp does not like to be turned on and off. The lamp thinks that Lily and Tom are naughty. The lamp wants to be left alone. The lamp makes a loud noise. + +"Beep, beep, beep!" The lamp says. "Stop playing with me! I am not a toy! I am a lamp!" + +Lily and Tom are scared. They did not know that the lamp can talk. They stop playing with the lamp. They run to their mom and dad. + +"Mom, dad, the lamp is angry!" Lily says. + +"The lamp can talk!" Tom says. + +Mom and dad are surprised. They go to the room and see the lamp. The lamp is still beeping. + +"Hello, lamp," mom says. "Why are you beeping?" + +"Because Lily and Tom were playing with me," the lamp says. "They turned me on and off. That hurts me. I am not a toy. I am a lamp." + +Mom and dad look at Lily and Tom. Lily and Tom look down. They feel sorry. + +"We are sorry, lamp," Lily says. + +"We did not mean to hurt you," Tom says. + +The lamp stops beeping. The lamp thinks that Lily and Tom are sorry. The lamp forgives them. + +"It's okay, Lily and Tom," the lamp says. "But please do not play with me again. I am not a toy. I am a lamp." + +Lily and Tom nod. They promise to not play with the lamp again. They hug the lamp and say thank you. + +The lamp smiles. The lamp thinks that Lily and Tom are nice. The lamp likes them. + +The end. +Sara and Ben like to play with balloons. They have many balloons of different colors. They blow them up and tie them with strings. Sometimes they let them go and watch them fly in the sky. + +One day, they find a big black balloon in the park. It is bigger than any balloon they have seen before. They want to play with it, but they don't have a string. They ask a man who is sitting on a bench if he has a string. The man says yes and gives them a long string. + +"Thank you, mister!" Sara and Ben say. They tie the string to the black balloon and hold it tight. They run and jump with the balloon. They have fun. + +But the man is not nice. He is a bad man. He wants to hurt Sara and Ben. He has a knife in his pocket. He waits for them to come near him. Then he cuts the string with the knife. + +"Ha ha ha!" the man laughs. "Bye bye, balloon!" + +Sara and Ben are shocked. They watch the black balloon fly away. They can't catch it. They cry. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. "Our balloon! Our balloon!" + +But no one hears them. The black balloon is gone. It is too high and too far. Sara and Ben are sad. They have lost their balloon. They have no more fun. They have a bad week. +Mira liked to play with her jewels. She had many jewels of different colors and shapes. She liked to hold them in her hands and look at how they sparkled. She liked to make necklaces and bracelets with them and wear them around the house. + +One day, Mira's friend Lila came to visit. Lila saw Mira's jewels and wanted to play with them too. She asked Mira if she could hold some of her jewels. Mira said yes, because she was a good and modest friend. She shared her jewels with Lila and they had fun together. + +But then, Lila saw a big and shiny jewel that Mira had. It was Mira's favorite jewel. It was red and round and looked like a cherry. Lila wanted to have that jewel for herself. She grabbed it from Mira's hand and ran away. Mira was sad and angry. She chased Lila and asked her to give back her jewel. + +Lila did not want to give back the jewel. She said it was hers now and she liked it more than Mira. She said Mira had too many jewels and she had none. She said Mira was not a good and modest friend. She said Mira was greedy and selfish. + +Mira and Lila started to fight over the jewel. They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other. They did not notice that the jewel slipped from their hands and rolled away. It rolled under the sofa and they could not see it anymore. They stopped fighting and looked for the jewel. They could not find it. They felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had been bad and foolish friends. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to share their toys and play nicely. They learned that jewels are not as important as friendship. +Ben and Mia were having lunch with Mom and Dad. They liked to eat sandwiches and fruit and drink juice. Mom gave them each a napkin to wipe their mouths and hands. Ben had a blue napkin and Mia had a pink napkin. + +Mia saw a gray bird outside the window. She pointed and said, "Look, bird!" Ben looked and said, "Yes, bird. Gray bird." Mia wanted to know more. She asked, "Why bird gray?" + +Mom heard Mia's question and smiled. She said, "Some birds are gray, some are brown, some are red, some are yellow. They have different colors to help them blend in with their homes. Gray birds live in places where there are rocks and trees and clouds that are gray. Can you see the gray rocks and trees and clouds outside?" + +Mia nodded and said, "Yes, I see. Gray bird live in gray home." She thought that was very clever. She said, "Thank you, Mom. You explain good." Mom hugged Mia and said, "You're welcome, sweetie. You ask good questions." + +Ben was not very interested in the gray bird. He was more interested in his sandwich. He took a big bite and some jelly dripped on his blue napkin. He said, "Oops, messy." He wiped his mouth and hands with his napkin. He said, "Napkin good. Napkin help me." Dad nodded and said, "Yes, napkin good. Napkin help you. But don't forget to say please and thank you when you need a napkin." Ben said, "Okay, Dad. Please and thank you." Dad smiled and said, "Good boy." +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. Mom gives them a big hug and says, "Thank you for being good helpers. You can put the plates and cups in the dishwasher." + +Sara and Tom run to the dishwasher. They open the door and see many slots and baskets. They start to put the plates and cups in the slots and baskets. Sara puts a plate in a tight slot. She pushes hard, but the plate does not fit. She tries another slot, but it is also tight. She gets angry and says, "Tom, move your cups! They take too much space!" + +Tom looks at Sara and says, "No, Sara, you move your plates! They are too big!" He stares at Sara with a mean face. He does not want to share the dishwasher. + +Sara and Tom start to argue. They pull and push the plates and cups. They make a lot of noise. Mom hears them and comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess and says, "Sara and Tom, stop fighting! You are not being good helpers. You are being rude and selfish. You need to share the dishwasher and work together." + +Sara and Tom feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Sara." They hug each other and Mom. They take out the plates and cups and put them in the dishwasher again. They find slots and baskets that are not too tight. They smile and say, "We are good helpers. We can share the dishwasher and work together." Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you are. I am proud of you." She closes the dishwasher and turns it on. Sara and Tom hear the water and the bubbles. They clap and say, "Yay, the dishwasher is working!" They run to the living room and play with their toys. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big puzzle with many pieces. They liked to solve the puzzle and see the picture of a farm with animals and a tractor. + +One day, they were playing with the puzzle when they heard a loud noise. It was their big brother Tom, who came home from school. Tom was rude and mean. He did not like to share or play nice. He saw Ben and Lily with the puzzle and said, "That's a baby puzzle. You are too little to solve it. Let me show you how to do it." + +He grabbed the puzzle and started to take apart the pieces. He threw some pieces on the floor and some pieces on the couch. He did not care if he broke the puzzle or made a mess. Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They tried to stop Tom, but he was bigger and stronger. He pushed them away and said, "Go away, you crybabies. This is my puzzle now." + +Ben and Lily ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. They told her what Tom did. Mom was not happy. She said, "That's not nice, Tom. You have to apologize and help them fix the puzzle. And you have to clean up the mess you made." + +She went to the living room with Ben and Lily. She saw the puzzle pieces everywhere. She also saw that Tom had broken a bulb from the lamp. The lamp was dark and the living room was dim. Mom said, "Tom, look what you did. You broke the bulb. Now we have no light. How can you solve the puzzle in the dark?" + +Tom felt bad. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, Ben and Lily. I was rude and mean. I didn't mean to break the bulb or the puzzle. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "We forgive you, Tom. But you have to help us fix the puzzle and clean up the mess." + +Tom agreed. He said, "OK, I will help you. And I will get a new bulb from the garage. Maybe we can solve the puzzle together and have fun." + +They hugged and smiled. They worked together to fix the puzzle and clean up the mess.

He saw a bag of flour, a carton of eggs, and a bottle of milk. He thought, maybe I can make my own waffle mix. He poured some flour, some eggs, and some milk into a big bowl. He stirred it with a spoon. It looked lumpy and runny. He did not know what else to do. + +He opened the waffle maker and poured some of the mix on one plate.

He said, "That's not fair! I answered first. I should have the bigger piece." Mom said, "No, Ben. You were rude and impatient. You did not let me finish the question.

They had a big cardboard box for their ship, and a map that Lily drew with crayons. The map showed where the gold was hidden, under a big X. + +"Ahoy, mateys!" Ben shouted. "Let's sail to the island and find the gold!" + +"Arrr, yes, captain!" Lily agreed. "But watch out for the sharks!" + +They pretended to row their ship across the grass, making splashing noises. They reached the island, which was a pile of rocks and dirt. They jumped out of the box and started to dig with their hands. + +"Look, look!" Lily cried. "I found it! I found the gold!" + +She held up a shiny yellow coin that she had buried earlier. Ben ran over to see it. + +"Wow, that's amazing!" he said. "We're rich, rich, rich!" + +They hugged and danced around, excited. They put the coin in their pocket and got back in their ship. They wanted to go home and show their mom and dad. + +But as they were sailing, they heard a loud roar. It was a dragon! A big, scary, red dragon that lived in the tree. It had seen their gold and wanted it for itself. It flew out of the tree and breathed fire at them. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Ben screamed. "The dragon is after us!" + +They tried to paddle faster, but the dragon was too quick. It swooped down and grabbed their ship with its claws. It lifted them up in the air, and flew away. + +"Let us go, let us go!" Lily and Ben shouted. "That's our gold, not yours!" + +The dragon ignored them. It was greedy and mean. It took them to its nest, high up in the tree. It dropped their ship and the coin on a pile of bones and jewels. It snarled and licked its lips. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" it said. "I'm going to eat you and your gold!" + +Lily and Ben were very scared. They hugged each other and cried. They wished someone would rescue them. + +Just then, they heard a bark. It was Spot, their dog. He had followed them from the backyard. He saw the dragon and the ship and the coin. He was brave and smart. He ran up the tree and barked at the dragon. + +"Ruff, ruff, ruff!" he said. "Leave my friends alone!" + +The dragon was surprised and angry. It turned around and faced Spot. It opened its mouth and roared. + +"Go away, go away!" it said. "This is my gold, not yours!" + +But Spot was not afraid. He jumped on the dragon and bit its tail. The dragon howled and shook. It dropped the coin and the ship. They fell down to the ground. + +"Quick, quick!" Lily and Ben said. "Grab the gold and the ship!" + +They jumped out of the nest and ran to the coin and the ship.

He hopes they will travel safe and fast and return soon. He misses them very much. +Tom and Lily were walking in the woods with their dog, Spot. They liked to look at the trees, the flowers and the birds. They followed a path that led to a big lake. + +"Look, Spot, there is water!" Lily said. "Do you want to swim?" + +Spot barked and ran to the lake. He jumped in and splashed around. Tom and Lily laughed and threw sticks for him to fetch. + +But then they heard a loud roar. It came from behind the trees. They saw a big, brown bear. It had sharp teeth and claws. It looked fierce and hungry. + +"Run, Spot, run!" Tom shouted. "The bear wants to eat you!" + +Spot heard Tom and swam back to the shore. He ran to Tom and Lily. They grabbed his leash and ran away from the bear. They were very scared.

Tom and Sue are very happy. They want to keep the mineral for themselves. + +But then, a big, fierce dog comes running to them. It barks and growls and shows its teeth. It wants the mineral too. It thinks it is a ball. Tom and Sue are scared. They hold the bucket tight and run away. The dog chases them. + +They run to their mom, who is sitting on a bench. She sees the dog and the mineral. She picks up a stick and waves it at the dog. The dog stops and runs away. Tom and Sue are safe. + +Mom hugs them and says, "You are very brave, but you are also very greedy. You should not keep the mineral for yourselves. It is too big and too beautiful. You should share it with others. Maybe you can give it to the museum, or to the school, or to a friend. Then everyone can enjoy it and learn from it. Sharing is caring." + +Tom and Sue think about it. They feel sorry for being greedy. They decide to give the mineral to the museum. They think the museum will take good care of it and show it to many people. They are happy to share their find.

Leo says, remembering that his mom has a sewing kit. + +"What is thread and a needle?" Mia asks, curious. + +"Thread is a long, thin thing that you use to join things together.

They had never seen a flower like that before. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "It is so round and blue. I want to pick it and keep it." + +"No, don't do that!" Ben said. "It is not nice to pick flowers. They need to stay in the ground and bloom. Maybe it is a special flower that has a magic power." + +Lily and Ben argued about the flower. Lily wanted to have it for herself. Ben wanted to leave it alone. They both pulled on the flower, trying to get it. + +But the flower was stronger than they thought.

He had a long beard and a hat and a cane. He stopped and looked at them with a frown. + +"Stop that, you two!" he said in a loud voice. "Don't you know what you have there? That's not a stone, that's an ancient tablet. It has a very important message on it. It tells the story of the first people who lived in this land. It's very rare and precious. You should not fight over it, you should share it and learn from it." + +Lily and Tom stopped fighting and looked at the old man. They felt ashamed and curious. They asked, "Who are you? How do you know about the tablet?" + +The old man smiled and said, "I am a historian. I study the past and the people who lived before us. I have been looking for this tablet for a long time.

She cries, "Help! Help! I want to come down!" But no one can help her. She is too high. She is stuck on the kite. + +Tom feels sorry for Lily. He says, "Lily, you were wrong. You should not take my kite. You should ask me first. I can share with you. But you have to let go of the string. Then you can come down." + +Lily is sorry too. She says, "Tom, you are right. I was wrong. I should not be jealous of you. You are my friend. I can share with you too. But I am afraid to let go of the string. What if I fall?" + +Tom says, "Don't worry, Lily. I have an idea.

But she was a good sister, and she wanted to be nice to Max. She said, "OK, Max. You can have some of my avocado. But only a little bit. And you have to say thank you." + +Max said, "Thank you, Lily.

Lily and Tom asked. + +"You have to promise me to clean up your mess after you draw. And you have to promise me to share the cake with me when it's done." + +"OK, we promise," Lily and Tom said. + +Mom smiled and took the crayon. She put it in the microwave for a few seconds. The crayon melted and became two smaller crayons, one red and one blue. + +"Here you go," Mom said. "Now you can make your prints. But be careful, they are hot." + +"Thank you, Mom," Lily and Tom said. They took the crayons and ran back to their room. They were very happy. They made many prints with their new crayons. They also cleaned up their mess and shared the cake with Mom. It was a good day. +Lila and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a large hill near their house. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lila!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find some flowers or animals or a treasure!" + +"OK, Tom!" Lila said. "But we have to be careful. The hill is very high and steep. And we have to be back before dark." + +They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the hill. They started to climb, holding hands and helping each other. They saw some rocks, some grass, some bugs and some birds. They also saw some clouds in the sky. + +"Look, Lila!" Tom said. "The clouds are moving fast. Maybe it will rain soon. We should hurry." + +"I know, Tom!" Lila said. "But I'm tired. Can we rest for a little bit?" + +They found a flat spot on the hill and sat down. They drank some water and ate some cookies. They looked at the view and smiled. + +"This is fun, Tom!" Lila said. "We are so high. We can see everything. Our house, our yard, our street, our friends." + +"Yes, Lila!" Tom said. "We are very brave. We climbed the large hill. We are explorers." + +They hugged and laughed. Then they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked up and saw dark clouds. They felt some drops of water on their faces. It was raining. + +"Oh no, Lila!" Tom said. "We have to go down. The rain will make the hill slippery and muddy. We have to be fast." + +"OK, Tom!" Lila said. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to fall or get hurt." + +They got up and started to go down. They held hands and helped each other. They slipped and slid and splashed. They got wet and dirty and scared. They cried and shouted. + +"Help, Lila!" Tom said. "I can't see. The rain is in my eyes. Where are you?" + +"I'm here, Tom!" Lila said. "I can't see either. The rain is too heavy. Where is the bottom?" + +They kept going down, hoping to find the end of the hill. Then they saw a light. It was their mom. She had a flashlight and an umbrella. She had heard their cries and came to find them. + +"Lila! Tom!" she said. "I'm here. I'm here. Come to me. You're safe." + +She ran to them and hugged them. She wrapped them in a blanket and took them to the car. She drove them home and gave them a bath and a warm drink. She kissed them and tucked them in bed. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Lila said. "We wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. We didn't mean to make you worry." + +"I'm sorry, mom," Tom said. "We didn't know it would rain so hard and make the hill dangerous. We won't do it again." + +"I love you, Lila and Tom," mom said. "I'm glad you're OK. You are very brave, but you have to be smart too. Next time, check the weather and tell me where you're going. And don't go too far or too high." + +"OK, mom," Lila and Tom said. "We love you too. Thank you for saving us." + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of the large hill and what was on the other side. They hoped to see it someday, but not today. Today, they were happy to settle in their cozy bed and their warm home. +Tom and Sam were brothers 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, Mom called them for lunch. She made rice and chicken, their favorite. Tom and Sam ran inside, but Spot stayed outside. He was hungry too, but he had to wait for his bowl. + +"Yum, this smells good!" Tom said as he sat at the table. He took a big spoonful of rice and put it in his mouth. + +"Me too!" Sam said. He also took a big spoonful of rice, but he dropped some on the floor. + +"Oops!" Sam said. He bent down to pick up the rice, but Spot was faster. He ran inside and ate the rice from the floor. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Sam shouted. He tried to push Spot away, but Spot growled and showed his teeth. + +"Sam, don't do that!" Mom said. "Spot is hungry too. He didn't mean to take your rice. You have more on your plate." + +"But Mom, he quit my rice!" Sam said. He was angry and sad. He didn't want to share with Spot. + +"Sam, sharing is good. Spot is part of our family. He loves you and you love him. Sometimes you have to give up something to make someone else happy. That's what friends do." Mom said. + +Sam thought about what Mom said. He looked at Spot, who wagged his tail and licked his face. He looked at Tom, who smiled and offered him some of his rice. He looked at Mom, who hugged him and kissed his cheek. + +"OK, Mom. I'm sorry. I will share with Spot. He is my friend." Sam said. + +"Good boy, Sam. I'm proud of you." Mom said. + +They all ate their lunch happily, and Spot got his own bowl of rice and chicken. They learned that sharing is caring, and that friends are more important than rice. +Lily and Ben liked to play in the garden. They had a small house made of wood and a big slide. They also had a lot of toys, like cars, dolls, balls and books. They had fun every day. + +One day, it rained a lot. The garden became wet and muddy. Lily and Ben wanted to play, but their mom said no. She said they would get dirty and sick. She said they had to stay inside and play with their books. Lily and Ben were sad. + +They waited for the rain to stop. They looked out of the window and saw their small house and their big slide. They saw their toys, too. But they were all covered in mud. Lily and Ben felt sorry for their toys. They wanted to clean them and make them happy again. + +The next day, the sun came out. The garden was still wet and muddy, but not as much as before. Lily and Ben asked their mom if they could go outside and play. Their mom said yes, but only if they wore their boots and their coats. She said they had to be careful and not slip. Lily and Ben agreed. + +They ran outside and went to their small house and their big slide. They saw their toys, still covered in mud. They decided to restore them.

They were very proud of themselves. + +They put their toys back in their small house and their big slide. They played with them for a while. Then they went back inside and showed their mom what they had done. Their mom was very happy. She said they had done a great job. She said they were very serious and responsible. She gave them a hug and a kiss. Lily and Ben smiled. They loved their mom and their toys. They loved their garden, too. Even when it was wet and muddy. +Sara was a spoiled girl who always got what she wanted. She had many toys, dresses, and books, but she was never happy. She always wanted more and more, and she was rude to her parents and friends. + +One day, Sara saw a violin in a shop window. She wanted it very much, and she asked her mom to buy it for her. Her mom said no, because violins were very expensive and Sara did not know how to play them. Sara threw a tantrum and cried and screamed in the street. + +"Stop it, Sara!" her mom said. "You are being very naughty and selfish. You have enough things at home, and you should be grateful for them. If you don't calm down, I will punish you." + +But Sara did not listen. She kept crying and screaming, and she kicked her mom's leg. Her mom was very angry and sad. She took Sara by the hand and dragged her home. She did not buy her anything, not even a candy. + +When they got home, her mom told Sara to go to her room and stay there until dinner. She said Sara could not play with any of her toys, or watch TV, or read books. She said Sara had to think about what she did and say sorry. + +Sara was very unhappy. She felt lonely and bored in her room. She wished she had the violin, but she also wished she had been nice to her mom. She realized she had been very bad and spoiled. She decided to say sorry to her mom and be a good girl from now on. +Lily was a new girl in the playgroup. She felt shy and did not know anyone. She saw many toys and games, but she did not want to join. She sat on a chair and blinked her eyes. + +Tom was a boy who liked to make friends. He saw Lily sitting alone and wanted to talk to her. He walked to her and smiled. He said, "Hi, I am Tom. Do you want to play with me?" He showed her a cross that he made with sticks and string. + +Lily looked at Tom and the cross. She blinked her eyes again. She felt curious and happy. She said, "Hi, I am Lily. I like your cross. How did you make it?" She reached out her hand to touch the cross. + +Tom was glad that Lily talked to him. He said, "I found the sticks and the string in the yard. I tied them together like this. Do you want to make one too?" He gave her some sticks and string. + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, I want to make one too. Thank you, Tom." She took the sticks and string and tried to copy Tom. They both made crosses and showed them to each other. They laughed and played. They became friends. +Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat spaghetti for dinner. Mom said she would make spaghetti for them. They were happy. + +Mom put a big pot of water on the stove. She waited for the water to boil. She added some salt and some noodles. She stirred the noodles with a spoon. She opened a can of sauce. She poured the sauce in a small pot. She heated the sauce on the stove. + +Anna and Ben watched Mom. They smelled the spaghetti. They heard the water bubbling. They saw the sauce steaming. They could not wait to eat. They asked Mom, "Is it ready? Is it ready?" + +Mom said, "Not yet, my loves. You have to be patient. It will be ready soon. Why don't you set the table for me?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They went to the cupboard. They took out some plates and forks. They went to the drawer. They took out some napkins. They went to the table. They put the plates and forks and napkins on the table. They did a good job. + +Mom said, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very helpful. The spaghetti is ready now. Come and get your bowls." + +Anna and Ben ran to the stove. They grabbed their bowls. Mom filled their bowls with spaghetti and sauce. She gave them some cheese to sprinkle on top. She said, "Be careful, it's hot. Blow on it before you eat." + +Anna and Ben blew on their spaghetti. They took small bites. They enjoyed their spaghetti. They said, "Mmm, this is yummy. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom smiled. She enjoyed her spaghetti too. She said, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you like it." + +They ate all their spaghetti. They wiped their mouths with their napkins. They put their bowls and forks in the sink. They hugged Mom. They said, "We love you, Mom. And we love spaghetti." + +Mom hugged them back. She said, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. And I love spaghetti too." +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. It is pink. Lily loves pink. + +"Look, Sam, a pink slide! Let's go!" Lily says. + +"OK, Lily, but be careful. It is very high." Sam says. + +They run to the slide. Lily goes first.

It is on Lily's head. He is scared. + +"Lily, Lily, are you OK?" Sam says. + +But Lily does not answer. She is very still. She does not move. She does not breathe. Sam does not know what to do. He screams. + +"Help, help, help! Lily is hurt! Lily is hurt!" Sam says. + +But no one hears Sam. No one comes. They are alone. They are not safe. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll that she liked to dress up and comb its hair. Ben had a small car that he liked to zoom around and make noises. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what their mom was doing in the kitchen. + +"Mom, can we help you?" Lily asked, holding her doll. + +"Sure, sweetie, come here," Mom said, smiling. "I'm making a cake for your dad's birthday. Do you want to see?" + +Lily and Ben ran to the kitchen and climbed on the stools. Mom showed them a big bowl with flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. She also showed them a small scale that she used to weigh the ingredients. + +"What is that?" Ben asked, pointing to the scale. + +"That's a scale, Ben. It tells me how much something is. See, this is one cup of flour. I put it on the scale and it shows me a number. That means it weighs one cup," Mom explained. + +"Wow, that's cool. Can I try?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't drop anything," Mom said. + +Ben took the scale and put his car on it. The scale showed a small number. + +"Look, Mom, my car weighs very little. It's a fast car," Ben said, proud. + +"That's right, Ben. Your car is very light. What else can you weigh?" Mom asked. + +Ben looked around and saw a big chest in the corner of the kitchen. It was black and had a lock on it. + +"What's in there, Mom?" Ben asked, curious. + +"That's a surprise, Ben. It's a gift for your dad. You can't open it until his birthday," Mom said. + +"Can I weigh it?" Ben asked. + +Mom hesitated. She knew the chest was very heavy and she didn't want Ben to hurt himself. But she also wanted to make him happy. + +"Okay, Ben, but you have to be very careful. And you have to ask Lily to help you. It's too heavy for you alone," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. Come on, Lily, let's weigh the chest," Ben said, excited. + +Lily put down her doll and followed Ben. They grabbed the chest and tried to lift it. But it was too heavy for them. They couldn't move it at all. + +"Mom, it's too heavy. We can't weigh it," Lily said, disappointed. + +"Maybe you can weigh something else, like your doll or your book," Mom suggested. + +But Ben didn't want to give up. He had an idea. He saw a chair near the chest. He climbed on the chair and reached for the lock. He wanted to open the chest and see what was inside. + +"Ben, no, don't do that. It's a surprise. You have to wait," Mom said, alarmed. + +But it was too late. Ben opened the lock and lifted the lid. He saw something shiny and round inside the chest. He grabbed it and pulled it out. It was a big balloon. A black balloon. And it had a string attached to it. + +"Wow, look, Lily, a balloon. A big balloon. A black balloon. It's so cool," Ben said, happy. + +But as he pulled the balloon out, he also pulled the string. And the string was connected to something else. Something that made a loud noise. Something that made sparks and smoke. Something that was a firework. + +"Ben, no, drop it. It's dangerous. It's a firework," Mom shouted, scared. + +But it was too late. The firework went off in Ben's hand. It made a loud bang and a bright flash. It scared Ben and Lily and Mom. It also scared the neighbors and the dog and the cat. It also made a big hole in the ceiling and a big mess in the kitchen. + +Ben dropped the firework and the balloon. He started to cry. Lily started to cry. Mom ran to them and hugged them. She checked if they were hurt. They were not hurt, but they were very scared and very sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, everyone. I just wanted to weigh the chest. I didn't know it was a firework. I didn't mean to make a big boom and a big hole and a big mess," Ben said, sobbing. + +"It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad you're all okay. It was an accident. It was a mistake. But you have to be more careful next time. You have to listen to me. You have to respect the surprises. You have to wait for the right time," Mom +Sara loves to paint. She has many colors and brushes. She likes to paint flowers and trees and birds. She paints on paper and on the wall. Mommy and Daddy do not like when she paints on the wall. They say it is messy and hard to clean. + +One day, Sara finds a kitten in the yard. The kitten is small and soft and has black and white fur.

They see Sara and the kitten and the paint. They are very angry and surprised. They scold Sara and take the kitten to the bathroom. They wash the paint off the kitten and dry it with a towel.

She did not mean to hurt the kitten or make Mommy and Daddy mad. She says she is sorry and hugs the kitten. The kitten purrs and rubs its head against Sara. It forgives Sara and likes her again. Sara smiles and says she loves the kitten. She asks Mommy and Daddy if she can keep it. Mommy and Daddy sigh and nod. They say yes, but only if Sara promises to be careful and gentle with the kitten and not to paint it again. Sara promises and thanks them. She is happy and so is the kitten.

She makes nice sounds. Ben and Anna clap and cheer. They say, "Wow, Lily. You are very good. You are a star." + +Lily is happy. She plays more songs. She forgets about everything else.

I love my violin. It is not fine. It is bad. The dog is bad. He stole my violin." + +Mom hugs Lily. She says, "I know, Lily. I know. It is very sad. You did nothing wrong. You were just playing. But sometimes bad things happen. We can't always control them. Maybe we can find another violin for you. But it won't be the same. I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry." + +Lily and mom go home. They are sad. Lily does not want to play anymore. She misses her violin. She hopes the dog will bring it back. But he does not. Lily never sees her violin again. She loses it forever. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a lot of grass. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +They held hands and ran up the hill. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They reached the top and looked around. They saw a big lake with ducks and fish. They saw a blue sky with white clouds. They saw a kite flying high and bright. + +"Wow!" Tom said. "Look at the kite! It is so high and pretty! I wish I had a kite like that!" + +"Me too!" Lily said. "Maybe we can make one. We can use paper and sticks and string. We can draw on it and make it colorful.

They watched their kite soar. +Anna and Ben are playing in the living room. They see a big white magazine on the table. It has many pictures of animals and flowers. + +"Look, Ben, a magazine!" Anna says. "Let's look at it." + +"Okay, Anna," Ben says. "But we have to be careful. It is Mommy's magazine. She likes to read it." + +They sit on the floor and open the magazine. They see a picture of a white rabbit. It has long ears and a fluffy tail. + +"Wow, a rabbit!" Anna says. "It is so cute. I want to pet it." + +"Me too," Ben says. "But we can't. It is only a picture.

Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please, Mommy!" Anna and Ben say. They close the magazine and put it back on the table. They run to Mommy and hug her. + +"Thank you, Mommy!" they say.

"Who will save us?" + +They heard a roar and saw a mighty lion. The lion was their friend. He lived in the forest and sometimes played with them. He heard their cries and came to help. He jumped on the bird and scared it away. He helped Tim and Sam get down from the tree. + +"Thank you, lion!" they said. "You are very brave and kind. You saved us from the bird." + +The lion smiled and said, "You are welcome, my friends. But you should be careful. Not all trees and birds are friendly. Some are dangerous and can hurt you. You should ask before you take something that is not yours." + +Tim and Sam nodded and said, "You are right, lion. We are sorry. We will not take fruits without asking again. We will share with you and the tree and the bird." + +The lion nodded and said, "That is good. Sharing is nice. Come, let us go to my den. I have some cream and honey. We can eat them together and have fun." + +Tim and Sam smiled and followed the lion. They learned a lesson. They learned to respect nature and to share with others. They were happy and grateful.

Ben picked up the bow and arrow and said, "This is my weapon. I can shoot anything I want." He looked at Lily and smiled. "Do you want to play a game?" + +Lily nodded. "What game?" she asked. Ben said, "Let's pretend we are a king and a queen. I will protect you and our baby from the bad guys. And you will be my wife." Lily liked the idea. She said, "OK, but how do we become a king and a queen?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He said, "We have to marry. That's what grown-ups do when they love each other. They say some words and kiss and wear rings." Lily said, "But we don't have any rings." Ben said, "That's OK. We can use these." He took two rubber bands from the box and put one on his finger and one on Lily's finger. "There, now we are married." + +Lily and Ben hugged and kissed. They felt very happy and cheerful.

They think it is a silly game. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dad. He is coming home from work. He sees the box and the paper and the tape. He thinks it is trash.

"Can we go?" + +"OK, but be careful," Mia says. "Don't touch anything." + +They climb into the basket. They see many buttons and ropes. They are curious. They press and pull them. + +The balloon starts to go up. It goes higher and higher. Ben and Mia are happy. They see the trees and the houses and the birds. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Ben says. "We are flying!" + +But then they hear a loud noise. The balloon has a hole. The air is coming out. The balloon is going down. Fast. + +"Help! Help!" Mia says. "We are falling!" + +They look for a way to stop the balloon. But they don't know what to do. They are scared. They hug each other. + +They realize they made a big mistake.

We have to wake them up with our bait." + +Ben and Sam nod. They are ready. They help their dad carry the rods and the bucket. They find a good spot on the shore. Their dad shows them how to put the worms on the hooks. He says, "Be careful, boys. The hooks are sharp. They can hurt you." + +Ben and Sam are careful. They follow their dad's instructions. They throw their lines into the water. They wait for the fish to bite. They watch the bobbers on the surface. + +Suddenly, Sam's bobber dips. He feels a tug on his line. He says, "Dad, dad, I have a fish! I have a fish!" + +His dad says, "Good job, Sam! Pull it in, pull it in!" + +Sam pulls hard. He reels in his line. He sees a big fish on his hook. He is very happy. He says, "Look, dad, look! It's a huge fish! It's bigger than Ben's!" + +Ben is a little jealous. He says, "No, it's not. It's the same size as mine. I caught one too, remember?" + +Sam says, "No, you didn't. You caught a small fish. Mine is bigger and prettier." + +Ben says, "No, it's not. Mine is bigger and prettier. You're lying." + +Sam says, "No, you're lying. Mine is better." + +Ben and Sam start to argue. They raise their voices. They forget to be quiet and patient. + +Their dad says, "Boys, boys, stop it. Don't fight. Don't mind who has the bigger fish. Mind how lucky you are to catch any fish at all. Some days, we catch nothing. Some days, we catch a lot. That's fishing. It's fun and surprising. You should be happy and proud of yourselves. You should share and celebrate. You should be good brothers." + +Ben and Sam look at their dad. They look at each other. They feel ashamed.

She took them all and ran away. + +When Bobby came back, he saw his piggy bank was empty. He was shocked and sad. He cried and cried. He had no coins and no friend. He was alone.

She did not care about growing big and strong. She cared about having yummy toast. She crossed her arms and pouted. + +Mama tried to be patient.

Maybe you will like it too," she said. + +Sara looked at Mama and saw that she was happy. She wanted to make Mama happy too. She picked up a small piece of toast and nibbled it.

She hugged Sara and kissed her cheek. + +"I'm proud of you, Sara. You are a brave and smart girl. Now finish your toast and I will wipe your face. Then we can go to the park and play," she said. + +Sara nodded. She ate her toast and drank her milk. She let Mama wipe her face with a napkin. She was not troubled anymore. She was happy. She loved Mama and she loved the park. She grabbed her coat and ran to the door. + +"Come on, Mama. Let's go to the park. I want to swing and slide and run," she said. + +Mama smiled and followed Sara. She was happy too. She loved Sara and she loved the park. She took her hand and walked with her. They had a fun and sunny day. +Lily liked to write. She had a big book and a red pen. She wrote about her toys, her friends, and her dreams.

She wanted to write about it. + +She ran inside and got her book and pen. She came back and sat on the grass. She looked at the squirrel and wrote: "I see a squirrel. It is brown and fluffy. It has a long tail. It is beautiful." + +But then, a big dog came. It barked and chased the squirrel. The squirrel was scared. It jumped from the tree and ran away. The dog followed it. + +Lily was sad. She wanted the squirrel to stay. She wanted to write more about it. She shouted at the dog: "Go away, dog! Leave the squirrel alone!" + +The dog stopped and looked at her. It wagged its tail and ran to her. It licked her face and wanted to play. Lily was surprised. She realized the dog was friendly. It just wanted to have fun. + +She smiled and petted the dog. She said: "You are a good dog. But please don't scare the squirrel. It is beautiful and I like it." + +The dog barked and nodded. It lay down next to her. Lily wrote in her book: "I see a dog. It is big and furry. It has a loud bark. It is friendly and playful." + +She looked at the dog and the tree. She hoped the squirrel would come back. She wrote: "I like the dog and the squirrel. They are both beautiful. I want to write more about them." +Lily and Ben were going on a trip with Mom and Dad.

They take a bite. + +"Yuck!" Anna says. "The lemons are sour. They make my mouth hurt." + +"Me too," Ben says. "They make my heart sour. I don't like them." + +They throw the lemons away. They march to the pond. They see some ducks. + +"Let's feed the ducks," Ben says. + +"OK," Anna says. They find some bread and break it into pieces. They throw the bread to the ducks. + +The ducks are happy. They quack and swim. Anna and Ben are happy too. They smile and laugh. + +"The ducks are sweet. They make my heart sweet. I like them," Anna says. + +"Me too," Ben says. "They make my mouth happy. I like them." + +They hug and watch the ducks. They forget about the sour lemons.

He saw a bag of gummy bears and his eyes lit up. + +"Can I have some gummy bears, Lily?" he asked. + +Lily looked at him and shook her head. "No, Ben. We have to wait for grandma. She made cookies for us. If you eat gummy bears now, you will spoil your appetite and your stomach will hurt." + +Ben pouted and said, "But I love gummy bears. They are so yummy and chewy. Please, Lily, just one." + +Lily sighed and said, "No, Ben. You have to be patient and thoughtful. Grandma worked hard to make cookies for us. She will be sad if we don't eat them. And you will be sick if you eat too much candy. Trust me, I know. Remember last time when you ate a whole bag of gummy bears and you had a tummy ache?" + +Ben remembered and nodded. He put the bag of gummy bears back in his bag and zipped it up. He said, "You are right, Lily. I'm sorry. I will wait for grandma and her cookies. They are also yummy and chewy. And they smell good." + +Lily smiled and said, "That's a good boy, Ben. I'm proud of you. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and see what grandma has for us." + +They held hands and walked to the kitchen, where grandma was waiting for them with a tray of warm cookies and cold milk. She said, "Hello, my sweeties. I'm so glad you are here. I made your favorite cookies. Chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. Help yourselves and enjoy." + +Lily and Ben hugged grandma and said, "Thank you, grandma. You are the best. We love you and your cookies." + +They sat down and ate the cookies and drank the milk.

"We have a surprise for you today!" + +"What is it, grandma?" Tim asked, curious. + +"Come and see!" grandma said, leading them to the barn. There, they saw a big brown dog with a wagging tail. He looked old, but friendly. + +"This is Max. He is our new dog. He was alone and sad, so we gave him a home. He is very loyal and gentle. Do you want to pet him?" grandpa said, smiling. + +Tim nodded and approached the dog slowly. Max sniffed him and licked his hand. Tim giggled and stroked his fur. + +"Hi, Max. You are a good dog.

They parked their car outside the store and went in. They saw many yummy things on the shelves. They picked some cookies and juice and went to the counter. There was a man there. He looked at them and smiled. + +"Hello, little ones. What can I do for you?" he asked. + +"We want to buy these, please," Tim said, holding up the cookies and juice. + +"OK, that will be two dollars. Do you have money?" the man asked. + +Tim and Sue looked at each other. They did not have money. They only had some rocks and leaves in their pockets. They felt shy and scared. They did not know what to do. + +"Sorry, we don't have money," Sue said in a small voice. + +"Then you can't have these. You have to put them back," the man said, taking the cookies and juice from them. + +Tim and Sue felt sad and angry. They wanted to have the snacks. They ran out of the store and got in their car.
