He thought they might bite or sting. + +"Don't touch it, Sara. It might hurt you," Ben said. He backed away. + +Sara was not scared. She wanted to see the beetle up close. She reached out her hand slowly. The beetle did not move. Sara touched it gently. It was hard and smooth. + +"It's not scary, Ben. It's just a beetle. It's hard, not soft. And it doesn't hurt me," Sara said. She smiled. + +Ben was curious. He came closer and reached out his hand too. He touched the beetle. It was hard and smooth. He felt brave. + +"You're right, Sara. It's not scary. It's just a beetle. It's hard, not soft. And it doesn't hurt me," Ben said. He smiled too. + +Sara and Ben were happy. They had found a new friend. They named the beetle Bob.

They had sticks and a ball and a net. They had fun and shared and said sorry when they hit someone by mistake. + +One day, a new boy came to play. His name was Max. He had a big stick and a big ball and a big net. He said he was the best at hockey and he did not want to share. He said he could score from anywhere and he dared anyone to stop him. + +Lily and Ben did not like Max. He was mean and rude and did not play fair. He hit the ball very hard and did not care if he hurt someone. He laughed when he scored and said bad words when he missed. + +One time, Max hit the ball so hard that it flew over the fence and into the woods. He said he would go and get it and he dared anyone to follow him. Lily and Ben did not want to go, but they did not want to let Max win. They followed him into the woods. + +In the woods, they saw a big, furry animal. It had sharp teeth and claws and it was angry. It was a bear. It had Max's ball in its mouth and it did not want to give it back. It growled and roared and chased Max. Max was scared and ran away. He dropped his stick and his net and he cried for help. + +Lily and Ben saw Max in trouble and they felt sorry for him. They did not want the bear to hurt him. They picked up some sticks and stones and threw them at the bear. They made loud noises and scared the bear away. They helped Max get out of the woods and gave him his ball back. + +Max was thankful and ashamed. He said he was sorry for being mean and rude and not playing fair. He said he learned his lesson and he wanted to be friends. Lily and Ben forgave him and they all went back to play hockey. They shared and had fun and said sorry when they hit someone by mistake. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be mean and rude and not play fair. Do not dare anyone to do something dangerous. Be kind and helpful and make friends. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play games. Sometimes they play nice. Sometimes they play mean. They are very competitive. + +One day, they play hopscotch.

She says, "Oh, no. You hurt your toes. Why did you hop so fast? You should play nice. You should not be so competitive." + +Tom and Mia feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were silly. We wanted to win. We did not play nice. We did not have fun." + +Mom hugs them. She says, "It is okay. I love you both. You can play hopscotch again. But you have to be careful. You have to share.

Lily and Ben said no. They wanted to keep all their toys. Mom said they had no room for Grandma's present. Lily and Ben did not care. They said Grandma had many presents already. + +Mom was sad. She said they had to be nice to Grandma. She said Grandma made them a special ornament. It was a star with their names on it. Lily and Ben did not want the ornament. They said it was ugly. They said they liked their toys better. + +Mom was hurt. She said they had to be grateful for Grandma's love. She said Grandma was old and sick. She said Grandma might not see them again. Lily and Ben did not believe Mom. They said Grandma was fine. They said they wanted to go now. + +Mom was tired. She said they had to go. She said they had to leave the ornament behind. She said they had no choice. Lily and Ben were mad. They threw the ornament on the floor. It broke into pieces. Mom cried. + +They went to the car. They drove to Grandma's house. They did not talk to Mom. They did not say sorry. They did not know that Grandma was waiting for them with a smile. They did not know that Grandma had made the ornament with her own hands. They did not know that Grandma had no other presents. They did not know that Grandma had no other grandchildren. They did not know that Grandma loved them very much.

Tom says. + +They run to the board again. They climb the ladder again. They slide down the slide again. They have a lot of fun. They like the board and the slide.

"The dog will break it!" + +Tom picks up the stick and waves it at the dog. The dog growls and runs towards Tom. Jen screams and runs away. She hides behind a tree. + +"Tom, come here!" Jen shouts. "The dog is too big!" + +But Tom does not listen. He thinks he is brave. He tries to hit the dog with the stick. The dog is faster and stronger. The dog bites Tom's arm. Tom drops the stick and cries. The dog bites Tom again and again. + +Jen is very sad. She wants to help Tom, but she is too afraid. She stays hidden behind the tree. She hopes someone will come and save them. But no one comes. The dog does not stop. Tom does not move. Jen cries and cries. The end. +Ben and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They wanted to give him eyes, but they had no stones or buttons. + +"Look, I have a pin!" Ben said. He showed Lily a shiny pin he found in his pocket. "We can use it for an eye!" + +Lily shook her head. "No, Ben, that is not a good idea. The pin is sharp and can hurt the snowman. And it is too small, we will lose it in the snow." + +But Ben did not listen. He stuck the pin in the snowman's face. "There, now he has one eye!" he said proudly. + +Lily was angry. She grabbed the pin and pulled it out. "Ben, you are mean! You should not use things that are not yours. And you should not hurt the snowman. He is our friend!" + +Ben was angry too. He pushed Lily and made her fall. "You are bossy! You should not take things that are mine. And you should not ruin the snowman. He is my toy!" + +They started to fight and shout. They did not see the chubby dog that came running towards them. The dog saw the snowman and thought it was a snack. He jumped on the snowman and bit his nose. He also knocked off his hat and scarf. + +Ben and Lily stopped fighting and looked at the dog. They saw their snowman was broken and his nose was gone. They felt sad and sorry. + +"Go away, bad dog!" Ben cried. He threw a snowball at the dog. The dog ran away, barking. + +Lily hugged Ben. "I'm sorry, Ben. I should not have taken your pin. It was your find." + +Ben hugged Lily back. "I'm sorry, Lily. I should not have used your pin. It was your snowman." + +They looked at each other and smiled. They decided to make a new snowman together. They used stones for eyes and a twig for a nose. They also gave him a big smile. + +They learned that sharing and caring are better than fighting and hurting. They also learned that pins are not good for snowmen. They had fun in the snow and were happy. +Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They look for bugs and flowers and rocks. One day, they find a big beetle under a leaf. It is black and shiny and has long legs. + +"Wow, look at this beetle!" Sara says. "It is so cool!" + +"Can I hold it?" Ben asks. + +"OK, but be gentle," Sara says. She gives the beetle to Ben. He holds it in his hand and watches it move. + +The beetle is not happy. It wants to go back to the leaf.

They sing about the sun, the sky, the flowers and the trees. They sing about their families, their dreams, their hopes and their fears. They sing about everything. They sing until they are tired. + +They are tired. They stop singing. They hug each other. They say goodbye. They promise to come back. They walk back home. They are happy. They have new friends. They have a new song. They have a big smile. +Lily was a little girl who liked to watch the birds in the sky. She wanted to fly like them, but she did not have wings. She asked her mom, "Mom, how can I fly?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "You cannot fly, Lily. You are a human, not a bird. Birds have wings and feathers that help them fly. You have arms and legs that help you walk and run." + +Lily did not understand. She said, "But I want to fly, mom. I want to see the clouds and the sun and the stars. Can you make me wings?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I cannot make you wings, Lily. But I can make you something else. Come with me." + +Her mom took her to the garage and showed her a big box.

Tom and Anna wanted to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom said. + +"OK, but we have to buckle our belts first," Anna said. + +They had belts on their coats. The belts had buckles. Buckles were shiny and made a click sound when they closed. Anna liked buckles. She thought they were fun and safe. + +Tom did not like buckles. He thought they were boring and slow. He wanted to go on the slide fast. + +"I don't want to buckle my belt. It's not normal. No one else does it," Tom said. + +He took off his belt and threw it on the ground. He ran to the slide. + +Anna was sad. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She buckled her belt and followed him. + +Tom climbed up the ladder to the slide. He was happy.

"You are cute. What is your name?" + +The dog barks. It does not have a name tag. Lily and Max do not know who the dog belongs to. + +"Maybe it is lost," Lily says. "We should help it find its home." + +They look around. They see a man. He is looking for something. He has a leash in his hand. + +"Excuse me, sir," Lily says.

You are a cute dog." + +Rex barks. He wags his tail. He is glad too. He has a home and new friends. +Tom is a boy who likes to learn new words. He has a book with many pictures and letters.

She does not want to share her blocks with Tom. She likes her tower. + +Tom is sad and angry. He wants to spell snake. He does not like Lily. He thinks of a plan. He waits until Lily is not looking. He runs to her tower and pushes it down. The blocks fall and make a loud noise. Lily cries and shouts, "Tom, you are bad! You broke my tower!" + +Tom grabs the A block and runs away. He puts it next to the N. He looks for the K and E blocks. He does not see them. He hears his mom coming. She is angry too. She says, "Tom, what did you do? Why did you make Lily cry? Why did you make a mess with the blocks?" + +Tom is scared. He knows he did a bad thing. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to spell snake. Snake is a dangerous word. I needed the A block." Mom says, "Tom, snake is not a dangerous word. Snake is a dangerous animal. You do not need to spell snake. You need to say sorry to Lily and help her with her tower. Then you can spell other words with your blocks. But you have to share and be nice. Do you understand?" + +Tom nods. He feels sorry for Lily and mom. He says, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry, Lily.

I have donated all your toys to a charity that helps children in need. They will send them to a faraway land where they will make many children happy. I hope you will learn to share and appreciate what you have. Love, mommy." + +Anna was shocked. She looked inside the box and saw nothing. All her toys were gone. She had nothing left. She felt a big pain in her heart. She realized how selfish and spoiled she had been. She wished she could have her toys back. She wished she could say sorry to mommy. She wished she could be a good girl. + +She ran to mommy and hugged her. She said, "Mommy, mommy, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was spoiled. I don't need the rocket. I don't need any toys. I only need you. Please forgive me. Please love me." + +Mommy smiled and kissed her. She said, "I forgive you, Anna. I love you. You are my precious girl. I'm proud of you. You have learned a valuable lesson. You have learned to be thankful and compassionate. You have learned to be happy with what you have." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, mommy. I love you too. You are the best mommy in the world. You have given me the best gift ever. You have given me your love." +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were spies on a secret mission. They had a big box that was their base. They put some pillows and toys inside. + +"Tom, I recommend we go and spy on the cat. He is always hiding something," Sara said. + +"OK, let's go. But be careful, he might scratch us," Tom said. + +They crept out of the box and followed the cat. The cat was sitting under a tree, licking his paw. He saw the children and hissed. + +"Run, Sara, run!" Tom shouted. + +They ran back to the box, but the cat was faster. He jumped on the box and scratched it. The box was fragile and broke. The pillows and toys fell out. + +"Help, help! We need to escape!" Sara cried. + +They crawled out of the broken box and ran to the house. The cat chased them, but they slammed the door behind them. They were safe. + +"Wow, that was scary. The cat is mean," Tom said. + +"Yes, he is. Maybe we should not spy on him anymore," Sara said. + +"Maybe not. But we can still play spies. We just need a new base," Tom said. + +They looked around the house and found a big closet. They opened it and saw some coats and hats. + +"Look, Sara, this is perfect. We can hide here and pretend we are in a different country," Tom said. + +"OK, let's do that. But first, let's get some cookies. I'm hungry," Sara said. + +They went to the kitchen and got some cookies. Then they went back to the closet and closed the door. They put on some coats and hats and pretended they were in a different country. They forgot about the cat and had fun. +Sara and Ben like to play with rope. They have many ropes of different colors. They can make shapes and patterns with them. Sometimes they make a big circle and jump inside. Sometimes they make a long line and walk on it. Sometimes they make a knot and try to undo it. + +One day, they have a new idea. They want to mix the ropes and make a rainbow. They take a red rope and a yellow rope and twist them together. They make an orange rope. They do the same with a yellow rope and a blue rope. They make a green rope. They keep mixing ropes until they have all the colors of the rainbow. + +They are very happy with their rainbow rope. They hold it up and wave it in the air. They run around the yard and make it fly. They sing a song about the rainbow. They are very cheerful and have a lot of fun. They share their rainbow rope with their friends and teach them how to mix ropes. They all play with the rainbow rope until it is time to go home. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big cage with a leopard inside. The leopard was soft and yellow with black spots. Tom and Mia wanted to touch the leopard. + +"Can we go near the cage?" Tom asked Mia. + +"No, we can't. The leopard might be angry or scared. We have to stay away," Mia said. + +"But the leopard looks so nice. Maybe he wants to be our friend," Tom said. + +Tom and Mia walked closer to the cage. The leopard saw them and made a loud roar. Tom and Mia were afraid and ran away. + +The leopard lay down in his cage. He was lonely and bored. He wished he had a friend to play with. He saw a bird flying in the sky. He wanted to catch the bird, but he could not. He sighed and closed his eyes. He dreamed of a big forest with many trees and animals. He was happy in his dream. +Ben and Jen were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a tree and a swing. One day, they saw a small house under the tree. It was made of wood and had a door and a window. They wondered who lived there. + +They knocked on the door, but no one answered. They peeked through the window, but it was dark inside. They decided to go in and see. They opened the door and walked into the house. It was very warm and cozy. There was a bed, a table, a chair, and a fireplace. On the table, there was a plate of cookies and a glass of milk. + +"Wow, this is a nice house!" Ben said. "Maybe someone left us a snack!" + +"Maybe, but we should ask first," Jen said. "Maybe the owner will come back soon." + +They looked around and saw a note on the fireplace. It said: + +"Dear Ben and Jen, + +I am glad you found my house. I made it for you. I am your fairy godmother. I wanted to supply you with a place to play and rest. I hope you like it. Enjoy the cookies and milk. I will be back soon. + +Love, + +Fairy Godmother" + +Ben and Jen were amazed and happy. They had a fairy godmother who cared for them. They ate the cookies and milk and thanked her in their hearts.

They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun and laughing. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud boom and saw a bright flash in the sky. It was lightning! They were scared and ran to their mom, who was sitting on the porch. + +"Mom, what is that?" Ben asked, pointing at the sky. + +"That is lightning, Ben. It is a big spark of electricity that comes from the clouds when they are angry," Mom explained. + +"Why are the clouds angry, Mom?" Mia asked, curious. + +"Well, sometimes the clouds get too full of water and they need to let it out. They make rain and thunder and lightning to do that. It is their way of talking to each other," Mom said. + +"Wow, that is amazing, Mom. Can we talk to the clouds too?" Ben wondered. + +"Maybe, but we have to be careful. Lightning can be dangerous if it hits something or someone. We have to stay inside when there is lightning and wait until it stops," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. We will listen to you. We value you and we love you," Ben and Mia said, hugging Mom. + +"I love you too, my sweeties. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies and milk. Maybe we can read a book about the weather and learn more about the clouds and the lightning," Mom suggested. + +"Yay, that sounds fun, Mom. Thank you for telling us about the lightning. You are the best, Mom," Ben and Mia said, smiling. + +They went inside with Mom and enjoyed their snack and their book. They were not afraid of the lightning anymore. They were curious and happy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to eat a lot. She ate bread and cheese and apples and cake and candy and milk. She did not like to share her food with anyone. She did not understand why her mother told her to eat less and give some to her brother. + +One day, Lily found a big jar of cookies in the kitchen. She was very happy and opened the jar. She ate one cookie, then another, then another. She did not stop until the jar was empty. She did not hear her mother calling her for dinner. + +Lily felt very full and sick. Her stomach hurt a lot. She lay down on the couch and groaned. Her mother came and saw the empty jar and Lily's face. She was very angry and sad. + +"Lily, why did you eat all the cookies? You know you should not do that. You are very greedy and naughty. Now you have no dinner and no dessert. And you have no cookies for tomorrow. How do you feel?" + +Lily wanted to say sorry, but she could not. Her mouth was dry and her throat was sore. She felt very bad and sorry. She wished she had listened to her mother. She wished she had been wise and shared the cookies. But it was too late. She had eaten them all and now she had nothing. She cried and cried, but no one came to comfort her. She was alone with her stomach ache and her guilt. She learned a hard lesson that day. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their bows and arrows. They made them from sticks and strings and feathers. They pretended to be brave hunters and warriors in the forest. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wondered what was inside. They decided to shoot an arrow into the hole and see what happened. Tom took his bow and aimed carefully. He let go of the string and the arrow flew into the hole. + +"Did you hit anything?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Let's go and look," Tom said. + +They ran to the tree and peeked into the hole. They saw something shiny and green. It was a seed. The arrow had hit the seed and made it grow. It grew very fast and very big. It grew out of the hole and up the tree. It grew leaves and flowers and fruits. It was a magic seed. + +"Wow! Look what we did!" Tom said. + +"That's amazing! We made a new plant!" Lily said. + +They picked some of the fruits and tasted them. They were sweet and juicy. They shared them with their friends.

They were very happy. + +"Look, Lily, I found a lime!" Sam said, holding up a green fruit. "It is round and sour. Do you want to try it?" + +"No, thank you, Sam. I do not like sour things. They make my face funny." Lily said, shaking her head. "But you can have it. It is your lime." + +Sam smiled and bit into the lime. He made a funny face too. He did not like it very much. He threw the lime away. It landed in a pile of mud. + +"Oops, sorry, lime. You are filthy now." Sam said, feeling sorry for the lime. "Maybe you can become clean again if it rains." + +Lily laughed. She did not mind the mud. She liked to get filthy. She scooped up some mud and threw it at Sam. + +"Hey, Lily, stop that!" Sam said, dodging the mud. "You are making me filthy too!" + +They both laughed and threw mud at each other. They had a lot of fun. They did not care about being filthy. They were just playing. +Mira likes to count.

He says, "Yummy, yummy, pastels!" + +Mira cries. She has no pastels. She has an empty box. She is very sad. She runs to her mom and tells her what happened. Her mom hugs her and says, "Don't worry, Mira. We can buy you new pastels. And we can teach Leo not to eat them. Pastels are for drawing, not for eating." + +Mira feels better. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love Leo too, even if he is silly." She gives Leo a kiss and says, "Next time, let's count the pastels together, okay?" Leo nods and says, "Okay, Mira.

They didn't want to lose their friend. + +"Maybe we can make you a new hat and scarf," Anna said. "And a new nose and eyes and smile." + +"Thank you, but it won't help," the snowman said. "I need the cold to stay alive. But don't worry, I had fun with you. You are very kind." + +He gave them one last hug and then he melted away. Anna and Ben cried and hugged each other. + +They looked at the sun and said, "Go away, sun! You are mean! You took our friend!" + +But the sun didn't listen. It kept shining and melting the snow. +The fox was thirsty, so he went to pour some water. He was looking for a flexible container to carry the water. Suddenly he saw a bucket, it was perfect!

What do you own?" + +The little missile thought for a moment, then proudly said, "I own myself!" + +The children were delighted and cheered, "Then you can be part of our team!" + +The little missile was so happy that he leapt into the air with joy. Every day after that, he played with his new friends. He never felt so happy or so loved. + +The end. +It was a bright and sunny day. Johnny was eager to go outside. He looked in his closet for something special to wear. He pulled out a red fireman hat. Johnny was so happy! + +He put on the hat and opened the door. He ran to his mom and said, "Look Mommy, I'm a fireman!" His mom was so proud. She said, "That's great Johnny! You look so handsome." + +Johnny was so excited to be a fireman. He said, "I'm going to save the world!" His mom smiled and said, "I know you can do it! Now run along and have fun!" + +Johnny was off. He ran around the yard playing fireman and was so eager to help anyone in need. Everywhere Johnny went, everyone waved and said hello to him. He beamed from ear to ear. + +Johnny had a wonderful day playing fireman and making so many people smile. He knew he was helping make the world a better place. It was a special day, and Johnny always knew he could be a hero. +Once upon a time, there was a foolish witch. She liked to move around, looking for fun. + +One day, the witch moved to a new village. The villagers were scared, so they hid in their homes. + +The witch saw them hiding and called out, "Don't be scared. I'm harmless!" + +The villagers still couldn't believe the witch and stayed hidden. One brave little boy slowly moved out of his house and timidly asked, "Are you really harmless, witch?" + +The witch smiled and said, "Of course. I'm a harmless witch who loves to move around and have fun. Would you like to join me?" + +The little boy smiled and moved closer to the witch. Together, they moved around the village and had a great time. +Once upon a time, there was a radish who lived in the garden with his friends. He was happy there and liked to play in the sun with the others. One day, he decided to go exploring, and while he was out, a terrible storm hit and he ran for cover. When he came back, he saw a funny-looking sack. He was so curious, so he walked closer to check it out. + +Suddenly, a voice came from inside the sack. It said, "Let me out! Please!" The radish was so surprised and scared, he jumped back. But then he decided to be brave, so he asked, "Who are you? Why are you in the sack?" + +The voice replied, "I'm a radish too! But someone put me here and I can't get out!" + +The radish was so sad. He couldn't believe someone had put another radish in a sack. He wanted to help, but he didn't know how. So he hurried back to the garden and told his friends. Everyone was as sad as he was and they quickly started trying to help the radish in the sack. + +At last, they freed the poor radish. He was so thankful! He thanked the others over and over again. They all hugged each other and made the promise to never let anyone do anything terrible like this ever again. +Once upon a time there was a happy bunny called Bounce. Bounce was very proud of his big, warm burrow. He had lots of nice things in his burrow and it was truly a luxury. + +Whenever Bounce went out he would meet other animals, but he never invited them in. Bounce thought his burrow was a special place so he wanted to keep it to himself. + +One day, Bounce met a friendly mole who asked if he could see inside his burrow. Bounce was a bit scared but he was also proud of his home, so he said yes. + +When the mole saw inside, he smiled. "Bounce, this is the most beautiful burrow I have ever seen," he said. + +Bounce was so happy to hear the mole say this. He was so proud of his burrow that he began to bounce with joy! +Peter was pretending to be a mommy. He had a big mop and he was cleaning the kitchen. He moved the mop very slow and he was making sure the floor was really clean. + +His brother, Thomas, watched and then asked, "What are you doing, Peter?" + +Peter stopped and smiled. "I'm pretending to be a mommy," he said. + +Thomas thought for a minute. Then he said, "Can I help?" + +Peter thought for a moment and then nodded. He handed Thomas the mop and smiled. Now they both were pretending to be mommies. + +They kept cleaning the floor and eventually the kitchen was sparkling. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled. + +"We did a good job!" said Thomas. + +"Yes!" agreed Peter. "We were like mommies!" +Lily and Ben were going to the park with Mom. They liked the park very much. They could play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They were very happy. + +Mom said, "Get in the car, kids. We have to go now." Lily and Ben ran to the car. They opened the door and climbed in. But they forgot something. They forgot to put on their seat belts. + +Mom started the car and drove away. She did not see that Lily and Ben did not have their seat belts on. She was busy looking at the road and the traffic. + +Suddenly, a big truck came out of nowhere. It was very fast and loud. It almost hit Mom's car. Mom had to brake hard and swerve. The car made a terrible noise and shook a lot. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They flew out of their seats and hit the window and the door. They cried and hurt. Mom was scared too. She stopped the car and turned around. She saw Lily and Ben bleeding and crying. She said, "Oh no! What happened? Why don't you have your seat belts on?" + +Lily and Ben said, "We're sorry, Mom. We forgot. We were too excited to go to the park. We forgot to be safe." + +Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, my loves. I'm glad you're not badly hurt. But you have to remember to always wear your seat belts. They can save your life. Now let's go to the hospital and get you checked." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. We love you. We won't forget again." They put on their seat belts and held Mom's hand. They hoped they would still go to the park another day. +Daisy was a little dog who loved to play in the park. She was eager to run and jump and chase the birds. She did not like to stay on the leash or listen to her owner, Tom. She wanted to be free and have fun. + +One day, Tom took Daisy to the park and let her off the leash for a while. He told her to stay close and come back when he called her. Daisy nodded, but she did not really listen. She saw a big butterfly and ran after it. She followed it across the grass, past the trees, and over the hill. She did not see Tom or the park anymore. + +Daisy lost the butterfly and looked around. She did not know where she was. She felt scared and alone. She tried to find her way back, but she could not. She saw many strange things and heard many loud noises. She wished she had stayed with Tom. + +She heard a bark and saw another dog. He was big and mean. He growled and showed his teeth. He wanted to fight Daisy. Daisy was too small and weak to fight. She ran away, but he chased her. She cried for help, but no one heard her. + +Then she heard another bark. It was Tom. He had been looking for Daisy. He saw the mean dog and ran to save her. He shouted at the mean dog and scared him away. He picked up Daisy and hugged her. He was angry, but also happy. He said, "Daisy, you are a bad dog. You should not part from me. You could have been hurt or lost. You have to listen to me and stay on the leash. I love you and I want to keep you safe." + +Daisy felt sorry and ashamed. She licked Tom's face and wagged her tail. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was a bad dog. I will not part from you again. I love you too and I want to be with you. Thank you for saving me." + +Tom smiled and kissed Daisy. He said, "You are welcome, Daisy. You are a good dog. You learned your lesson. Now let's go back to the park and have some fun." + +They walked back to the park, hand in leash. Daisy was happy and grateful. She learned that parting from Tom was not fun, but dangerous. She learned that listening to Tom was not boring, but wise. She learned that staying with Tom was not hard, but easy. She learned that Tom was her best friend. +Tom and Mia are having lunch with Mom. Mom gives them pasta and sauce. Tom likes sauce a lot. He eats his pasta fast and asks for more sauce. + +"Please, Mom, can I have more sauce?" Tom says. + +"Sure, Tom, here you go," Mom says and gives him more sauce. + +Mia does not like sauce. She thinks it is too red and rough. She only eats a little pasta and pushes her plate away. + +"Mia, why don't you eat your sauce? It is good for you," Mom says. + +"I don't like sauce, Mom. It is rough and hurts my tongue," Mia says. + +"Mia, sauce is not rough. It is smooth and yummy. Try a little bit, please," Mom says. + +Mia shakes her head. She does not want to try sauce. + +Tom sees Mia's sauce. He wants more sauce. + +"Please, Mia, can I have your sauce?" Tom says. + +Mia looks at Tom. She does not like sauce, but she does not want to share either. + +"No, Tom, it is my sauce. You have your own sauce," Mia says. + +Tom and Mia start to argue. They both want Mia's sauce. + +Mom hears them and sighs. She has an idea. + +"Tom, Mia, stop fighting. I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?" Mom says. + +Tom and Mia stop arguing. They like surprises. + +"Yes, Mom, what is it?" they say. + +Mom smiles and brings out a big cake. It has chocolate and cream and sprinkles. + +"Wow, Mom, a cake!" Tom and Mia say. + +"Yes, a cake. For dessert. But you have to finish your lunch first. And share your sauce," Mom says. + +Tom and Mia look at the cake. It looks so good. They look at their sauce. It does not look so bad. + +"Okay, Mom, we will finish our lunch and share our sauce," they say. + +Mom is happy. She cuts the cake and gives them each a slice. + +Tom and Mia eat their pasta and sauce. They share and say please and thank you. They eat their cake and smile. They like cake a lot. They hug Mom and say they love her. + +Mom hugs them back and says she loves them too. She is proud of them. They are good kids. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the attic. They found many old things there, like books, hats, and toys. But there was one thing they never touched: a big, dark chest in the corner. Their mom told them it was scary and they should stay away from it. + +One day, when mom was busy, Ben and Mia went to the attic again. They played with the books and the hats and the toys. But Ben was curious. He wanted to see what was in the chest. He said to Mia, "Let's open it. Maybe there are more toys inside." + +Mia shook her head. She remembered what mom said. She said, "No, Ben. It's scary. Mom said so. We should not open it." + +But Ben did not listen. He walked to the chest and tried to lift the lid. It was heavy and dusty. He pulled hard and hard. He made a loud noise. He opened the chest. + +Mia screamed. Out of the chest came a big, black spider. It had many legs and eyes. It looked angry. It jumped on Ben and bit him. Ben cried and cried. He dropped the lid and ran to Mia. They hugged each other and ran out of the attic. + +Mom heard the noise and the screams. She ran to the attic and saw the spider. She was scared too. She grabbed a broom and hit the spider. She threw it out of the window. She hugged Ben and Mia and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. Are you okay? I told you not to open the chest. It was an old store for spiders. They are very scary and dangerous. You should never touch it again." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We won't touch it again. We love you, mom." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, my loves. Come on, let's go downstairs and have some cookies. And don't worry, the spider is gone. It won't come back." +Anna and Ben were bored. They wanted to play, but it was raining outside. They asked their mom if they could go to the attic. Mom said yes, but be careful. There were many old things in the attic. + +Anna and Ben climbed the stairs. They opened the door. The attic was dark and dusty. They saw boxes, books, toys, and clothes. They decided to look for something fun. + +"Look, Ben, a hat!" Anna said. She picked up a big hat with feathers and flowers. She put it on her head. "Do I look pretty?" + +Ben laughed. "You look weird, Anna. Like a bird." He found a coat with buttons and pockets. He put it on. "How about me? Do I look cool?" + +Anna giggled. "You look weird, too, Ben. Like a bear." They tried on more things. They found glasses, shoes, scarves, and belts. They looked very funny. + +They heard mom calling. "Anna, Ben, time for lunch!" They took off the things. They put them back in the boxes. They ran down the stairs. + +"Did you have fun in the attic?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, we did!" Anna and Ben said. "Thank you for letting us go. We found many weird things. We played dress up. It was fun!" + +Mom smiled. "You're welcome, my weird kids. I'm glad you enjoyed the attic. Now, wash your hands and come to the table. Lunch is ready." +Lily and Ben love to play in the park. They like to run, swing, slide and climb. One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a big statue of a man with a hat and a coat. He is holding a book and a pen. + +"Who is that?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe he is a teacher or a writer." + +They go closer to the statue and look at it. They see a plaque with some words on it. But they cannot read the words. They are too hard. + +"Let's pretend he is a friend," Lily says. "Maybe he likes to play with us." + +"OK," Ben says. "But we have to be quiet. He might be busy with his book." + +They start to play around the statue. They hide behind his coat and peek out. They touch his hat and his pen. They make funny faces at him. They giggle and whisper. + +The statue does not move or talk. But he has a smile on his face. He likes to watch the children play. He feels happy and warm. He thinks they are cute and funny. He wishes he could join them. + +He is a hidden friend. And he loves Lily and Ben. +Tom and Lily were playing with blocks in their room. They wanted to build a big tower that reached the ceiling. They stacked the blocks one by one, carefully and slowly. They were very proud of their tower. + +"Look, Lily, our tower is so high!" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, it is amazing!" Lily said. + +But then, a loud noise came from outside. It was a big truck that drove by their house. The truck made the ground shake and the windows rattle. The tower of blocks started to wobble and sway. + +"Oh no, our tower!" Tom and Lily cried. + +They ran to the tower and tried to hold it steady. But it was too late. The tower was too heavy and too tall. It leaned to one side and then fell down with a crash. The blocks scattered all over the floor. + +Tom and Lily felt sad and helpless. They had worked so hard to build their tower, and now it was gone. They looked at each other and started to cry. + +"Tom, Lily, what happened?" their mom asked. She heard the noise and came to their room. + +"Our tower, mom, our tower!" Tom and Lily sobbed. + +Mom saw the mess of blocks and the tip of the tower that was still standing. She hugged Tom and Lily and said, "I'm sorry, my loves, your tower was very beautiful. But sometimes things fall down and break. It's not your fault. You can try again another day." + +Tom and Lily nodded and sniffed. They felt a little better. Mom helped them pick up the blocks and put them away. Then she gave them a cookie and a kiss. + +"Thank you, mom, you are the best!" Tom and Lily said. + +"You're welcome, my loves, you are the best too!" mom said. +Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their friends and their toys. But sometimes they do not listen to their mom and dad. They go too fast or too high or too far. + +One day, Lily and Ben see a big hill. They want to climb it and see what is on the other side. They do not tell their mom and dad. They sneak away and run to the hill. They think it is a game. They do not see the sign that says "Danger". + +The hill is steep and slippery. There are rocks and holes and thorns. Lily and Ben do not care. They laugh and race and push each other. They want to be the first to reach the top. They do not look where they are going. + +Lily steps on a loose rock. She loses her balance. She falls down the hill. She screams. Ben hears her scream. He turns around. He sees her fall. He screams too. He tries to help her. He falls too. He screams louder. + +Mom and dad hear the screams. They run to the hill. They see Lily and Ben fall. They are scared and angry. They call their names. They hope they are not hurt. They run to catch them. They wish they had listened. +Sara and Ben are friends who like to play at the park. They both love to slide on the big slide, but sometimes they want to slide at the same time. Then they have a problem. + +One day, they run to the slide and see that it is empty. They both shout, "Me first!" and try to climb up the ladder. They push and pull each other, and they are not happy. + +"Stop it!" says a voice. It is Mom, who is watching them from a bench. She has a meeting with another mom, and they are talking about important things. "You need to share the slide, or you will have to leave the park." + +Sara and Ben look at Mom and feel sorry. They don't want to leave the park, and they don't want to make Mom angry. They decide to have a meeting of their own, and talk about how to share the slide. + +They agree that they will take turns, and count to ten before sliding. They also agree that they will cheer for each other, and say, "Good job!" when they slide. They are not competitive anymore, they are cooperative. + +They go back to the slide and follow their rules. They have fun, and they are happy. Mom is happy too, and she smiles at them. She is proud of them for solving their problem. She finishes her meeting with the other mom, and they all go home. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they found a basket under a big tree. It had many things inside: a ball, a book, a doll, and a cookie. + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna said. "Who left this basket here?" + +"I don't know, but it's ours now!" Ben said. He grabbed the ball and threw it in the air. + +Anna picked up the book and opened it. It had pictures of animals and words. She tried to read them, but they were tough. She only knew some of them, like cat and dog. + +"Ben, can you help me read this?" Anna asked. + +Ben came over and looked at the book. He knew more words than Anna, but not all of them. He pointed at a picture of a frog and said, "This is a frog. It can jump and croak." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are smart." + +They looked at the other pictures and learned new words, like lion and elephant. They had fun with the book. Then they saw the doll and the cookie. + +"Can I have the doll?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, you can have the doll. I want the cookie," Ben said. + +They traded the doll and the cookie. Anna hugged the doll and said, "She is pretty. I will call her Lily." + +Ben bit the cookie and said, "This is yummy. I will call it Bob." + +They laughed and ate the cookie together. They were happy with their basket. They decided to keep it and bring it to the park every day. + +Before they left, Anna gave Ben a kiss on the cheek and said, "You are my best friend." + +Ben blushed and said, "You are my best friend too." + +They held hands and walked home, with the basket and their new toys. They did not know that the basket belonged to a witch, who had left it there as a trap. She was watching them from behind the tree, and she was angry. She wanted to get her basket back, and she had a plan. She would wait until the next day, and then she would do something bad. But that is another story. +Sara and Ben love to ride their bikes. They ride fast and slow, up and down, and around and around. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they see a big stage in the park. There are many people and music and balloons. Sara and Ben are curious. They ride their bikes closer to the stage. + +They see a man with a funny hat and a big smile. He is a clown. He sees Sara and Ben and waves to them. He says, "Hello, little friends! Do you want to join me on the stage?" + +Sara and Ben are shy. They do not know the clown. But he looks friendly and kind. They nod and smile. They park their bikes and follow the clown. + +The clown takes them to the stage. He gives them each a balloon and a horn. He tells them to make funny noises and faces. He makes them laugh and clap. The people in the park watch and cheer. Sara and Ben have a great time. They are happy and proud. They thank the clown and hug him. They ride their bikes back home. They tell their mom and dad about their adventure. They say, "We had fun on the stage with the friendly clown!" +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a small trail in the grass. They want to know where it goes. + +"Let's follow the trail," Tom says. "Maybe we will find something fun." + +"OK," Jen says. "But we have to be careful. Mom and Dad said not to go too far." + +They walk on the trail. They see flowers and bugs and birds. They are happy. They do not see the big sign that says "Danger". + +The trail leads them to a big hole. It is dark and deep. They do not know it is a well. They are curious. + +"Look, Jen," Tom says. "What is in there?" + +"I don't know," Jen says. "Let's get closer." + +They go to the edge of the hole. They lean over to see. They lose their balance. They fall in. They scream. No one hears them. They are scared. They are hurt. They are alone. They are sorry. The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a big carrot and pulled it out. She was very happy. + +"Look, Tom, I found a carrot!" she said, holding it up. + +"Wow, that's a big carrot!" Tom said. "Can I have a bite?" + +Lily nodded and broke the carrot in half. She gave one piece to Tom and kept the other. They both bit into the carrot and chewed. + +Suddenly, they felt very dizzy. The carrot was not a normal carrot. It was a magic carrot that made them see funny things. The sky turned pink, the grass turned blue, and the flowers turned into stars. + +Lily and Tom stared at everything. They did not understand what was happening. They felt like they were spinning. + +"Tom, I feel funny," Lily said. "Do you feel funny too?" + +"Yes, Lily, I feel funny too," Tom said. "Maybe we should stop eating the carrot." + +They dropped the carrot and sat down on the ground. They closed their eyes and waited for the dizziness to go away. + +After a while, they opened their eyes again. Everything was normal again. The sky was blue, the grass was green, and the flowers were flowers. + +Lily and Tom looked at each other and smiled. They had had a very strange adventure. They decided to leave the carrot alone and play with something else. They ran to the swing and had fun. They never ate a magic carrot again. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box that they pretended was a car. They would sit inside the box and make noises like vroom and beep. Sometimes they would lean out of the box and wave to their mom or dad. + +One day, their mom told them that she had to go to the university for a while. She said that the university was a place where big people learned new things. She said that she would be back soon and that they could play with the box until then. She gave them a kiss and left. + +Ben and Lily decided to play a game. They pretended that the box was a spaceship and that they were going to the moon. They put on their helmets, which were really bowls, and counted down. "Three, two, one, blast off!" they shouted and shook the box. They had fun flying through the air and looking at the stars. + +But then they heard a weird noise. It sounded like a growl. They looked out of the box and saw a big dog. The dog was not their dog. The dog was a stranger dog. The dog looked angry and hungry. The dog wanted to eat them. + +"Help! Help!" they screamed. They tried to close the box, but the dog was too fast. The dog bit the box and tore it apart. Ben and Lily were scared. They hugged each other and cried. + +Then they heard another noise. It sounded like a car. They looked up and saw their mom. She had come back from the university. She saw the dog and the box and the twins. She ran to them and scared the dog away. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were okay, but they were sad. Their box was gone. Their spaceship was gone. Their game was over. + +Mom said, "Don't worry, my loves. We can get another box. We can play another game. We can have more fun. But first, let's go inside and have some cookies. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily smiled. They liked cookies. They liked their mom. They followed her inside and forgot about the dog and the box and the moon. They were happy again. +Lily and Max were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had. They saw a big box with a lock on it. They wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +"Maybe there are toys or books or jewels in there," Lily said. + +"Or maybe there are monsters or spiders or bones," Max said. + +They found a key under a hat and opened the box. Inside, they saw a shiny thing that looked like a head, but with no skin or hair. It had big holes for eyes and nose and mouth. It was a skull. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "It is so shiny and smooth. Grandma must polish it a lot." + +"Yuck, it is so scary and creepy. Grandma must be a witch," Max said. + +He was nervous and wanted to close the box. But Lily was curious and wanted to touch the skull. She reached out her hand and touched it. It felt cold and hard. + +"Hello, skull. Who are you?" she asked. + +The skull did not answer. But suddenly, it moved. It opened its mouth and made a loud noise. + +"Boo!" it said. + +Lily and Max screamed. They dropped the key and ran out of the attic. They did not see that the skull had a string attached to it. And they did not see that their grandma was hiding behind a curtain, holding the other end of the string. She had a big smile on her face. + +She liked to polish the skull and play tricks on her grandchildren. She thought it was funny. +One day, a boy named Ben went to the zoo with his mom and dad. He liked to see the animals and learn their names. He saw lions, monkeys, elephants, and many more. He was very happy. + +But when he came to the snake house, he felt scared. He did not like the snakes. They were long and slimy and had sharp teeth. He saw one snake twist around a staff that was in its cage. The staff was for the zookeeper to use. The snake hissed and looked at Ben with its small eyes. + +"Mom, dad, can we go?" Ben asked. He held his mom's hand tight. + +"Sure, honey, we can go. But don't be afraid of the snakes. They are not bad. They just live differently than us. The zookeeper takes good care of them and keeps them safe," his mom said. + +"But they are loud and scary!" Ben said. + +"No, they are not loud. They only hiss sometimes. And they are not scary. They are beautiful and smart. Look, this one has a pattern on its skin. And this one can change its color. And this one can climb trees. They are amazing, don't you think?" his dad said. + +Ben looked again at the snakes. He saw that they were different and interesting. He felt a little curious. He asked his dad some questions about the snakes. His dad answered him and told him some fun facts. Ben learned a lot. He felt less scared and more brave. + +He still did not want to touch the snakes, but he did not mind to watch them. He even smiled when he saw the snake twist around the staff again. He thought it was funny. He thanked the zookeeper for taking care of the snakes. He said goodbye to the snakes and went to see the next animal. He had a great day at the zoo. +Lily and Tom are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big box under their bed. They open the box and see a gun inside. The gun is black and shiny and has a red button. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up the gun and points it at Lily. "Bang, bang, you are dead!" + +Lily is scared. She does not like the gun. She thinks the gun is bad and dangerous. She says to Tom, "No, Tom, put the gun down. The gun is not a toy. The gun can hurt us. We have to store the gun away." + +Tom does not listen to Lily. He thinks the gun is fun and cool. He says to Lily, "Don't be silly, Lily. The gun is not real. The gun is just a toy. See, the red button makes a noise. Beep, beep, beep!" + +Tom presses the red button. The gun makes a loud noise and a bright flash. The gun is not a toy. The gun is real. The gun shoots a bullet. The bullet hits the wall and makes a hole. Lily and Tom are shocked. They drop the gun and run out of the room. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise and come to the room. They see the gun and the hole in the wall. They are angry and scared. They ask Lily and Tom, "What happened? Where did you get the gun? Do you know how dangerous this is?" + +Lily and Tom are sorry and sad. They tell Mom and Dad the truth. They say they found the gun in the box under the bed. They say they did not know the gun was real. They say they will never touch the gun again. + +Mom and Dad hug Lily and Tom. They say they love them and they are glad they are safe. They say they will store the gun in a safe place where no one can find it. They say they will teach Lily and Tom about gun safety and why guns are not toys. They say they will be more careful about what they keep in their house. They say they will always protect Lily and Tom. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. But today, they have a problem. Mom says they have to wear pants. It is cold outside. + +Tom does not like pants. He likes shorts. He says to Mom, "No pants! I want shorts!" He demands to wear shorts. He is wild. + +Mom says, "No, Tom. You have to wear pants. It is cold outside. You will get sick. Shorts are for summer. Pants are for winter." + +Sam likes pants.

Can I play with you?" + +Tom was shocked. He did not expect the monster to talk. He did not know what to say. He thought the monster wanted to eat him. He tried to pull his foot away, but the monster held it gently. + +"Don't be scared," the monster said. "I'm not here to hurt you. I'm lonely. I live under your bed, but I never have anyone to play with. I like your toys. They look fun. Can I play with you, please?" + +Tom looked at the monster. He saw that the monster had big, sad eyes.

But you have to be careful. Don't break my toys. And don't make too much noise. My mom might hear you." + +"Thank you," the monster said. "I promise I'll be good.

He ran to help them, and scolded them for being foolish and disobedient. + +"You could have been hurt very badly, or hurt the horse," he said. "You don't know how to ride a wild horse, and he doesn't know how to trust you. You have to be patient and gentle with him, and let him come to you.
