She carefully painted a beautiful daisy on the toy and added some sparkly feathers. In no time, the ugly toy had been turned into a beautiful daisy-covered toy. + +Daisy was thrilled. She happily went back to playing with her toys, the ugly toy now fitting in perfectly with all the others. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved to walk. Every day she went for a long walk in the park and explored the world around her. + +One day she decided to try a new walk and she walked to the theater. The theater was a big building with lots of lights. She had never seen anything like it before and was amazed. + +Once inside, she sat in the mild room and watched the show. She was mesmerized by the actors, the music, and the stories they told. She laughed, she clapped, and she danced. She had so much fun! + +When the show was over, she thanked everyone and then went on her way. It had been a magical day and she was so happy. + +A few days later she went for a long walk in the park, thinking about what a nice day she had at the theater. +Yesterday, Little Ben was outside in the garden. He was playing with his fragile toy car. Everything was going well, until he accidentally bumped into the table. His car fell off and broke. Little Ben was sad. He tried to pick up the pieces, but he could only balance one or two pieces together. + +Suddenly, Little Ben's father came out. He saw what happened and asked, "What happened here?". Little Ben was too scared to tell his dad the truth. He said, "I don't know". + +His dad was very angry and yelled at Little Ben, "You need to be more careful!". Little Ben was scared and ran away to his bedroom. He felt so sad and helpless. + +Little Ben's dad felt sad too, but he was too angry to make it better. He just sighed and said, "Yesterday everything was so perfect." Little Ben could only cry in his bedroom. The fragile toy car was gone and he now felt very alone. +Once upon a time there was a big, ugly jug. The jug sat on top of a table and nobody wanted to touch it. Everyone thought it was too ugly. + +One day, a little girl named Mary was playing in the room. She saw the jug and asked her mom if she could touch it. Her mom said, "No, it's too ugly. You won't like it." + +But Mary really wanted to touch it. She begged and pleaded with her mom, but her mom said no. + +Finally, Mary got angry. She shouted, "I HATE You!" And she grabbed the jug and threw it against the wall. It broke and made a big mess. + +Mary's mom was angry too. She said," I'm not happy with you, Mary. You have to learn not to hate things." + +Mary looked at the broken pieces and thought, "Maybe it wasn't so ugly after all." +Once upon a time, a young elephant named Ella wanted to explore the world outside her forest. She asked her mom if she could venture out, but her mom disagreed. + +"The world out there is too dangerous for you, Ella! You're too young," her mom said. However, Ella felt like she was ready, and she disagreed. + +At that moment, a wise old owl flew down from her tree. She had heard Ella's conversation and offered to give Ella advice. +"To explore the outside world, you need to find your roots first," said the wise old owl. Ella didn't understand, so the wise old owl explained. + +"Your roots are the things that make you unique. Believe in yourself, and you will be able to go anywhere, no matter if it's in the past or the modern world!" + +After a moment of contemplation, Ella realized that the wise old owl was right. She thanked the wise old owl and decided to always believe in herself. Ella finally understood that it was important to know your roots before you can explore the world. +Once upon a time, there lived a girl who liked to explore. One day she put on her hat and walked out of her house. Soon, she came across a big, empty meadow filled with hay. The girl paused and looked around. + +She saw a big, fluffy bunny. She held up her hand, but the bunny hopped away. She paused again, a little sad. + +Suddenly, she heard a voice. "Do you need help?" said the voice. + +The girl looked around, but she couldn't see anyone until she looked down. A tiny mouse was standing next to her. + +The girl smiled. "Yes, I need help," she said. + +The mouse said, "Come with me! We will find some hay for the bunny". + +The girl smiled again and followed the mouse through the meadow. After looking for awhile, they found some fresh, green hay and brought it back to the bunny. + +The bunny hopped around, eating the hay with delight. The girl and the mouse smiled and hugged each other, happy that they had helped the bunny. + +The girl's adventure was over, but she paused one last time to look back at the happy bunny before she returned home. +One bright and sunny day, Maisie and her mum decided to go out in the garden. Maisie was very excited. Together they planted a sunflower. Maisie's mum gave the flower a gentle pat and said "Be sure to grow tall and strong and don't let anyone disturb you!" + +At first all was quiet, but soon a big gust of wind started to blow. Suddenly it started to ruffle the sunflower's leaves and Maisie felt a bit worried. But her Mum smiled calmly and said "Don't be scared my darling, it's a gentle wind, like a hug from me." + +Maisie laughed and relaxed. Together she and her mum watched the sunflower sway gently in the breeze. + +"Oh look," said Maisie's Mum, pointing to a brightly coloured bug that was resting on the flower's leaves. "Isn't he beautiful? Be sure not to disturb him, Maisie." + +Maisie smiled. She was so happy that she and her mum had planted a sunflower that day, as it was bringing so many new and interesting things. +Once upon a time, a little girl named Mia was playing outside on a sunny day.

Look, I'm racing!" Her mother smiled and replied, "That looks like so much fun, Mia. Keep running!". + +Mia just kept running, until the sun got higher and higher and it became noon. "Oh no! It's getting so heavy," Mia said. + +Suddenly her mother stepped in and said, "Mia, it's time to go inside. Noon is too hot for you to be outside right now." + +Mia sighed and sadly replied, "Ok, mama. I guess I have to stop racing for now." She put her arms around her mama and the two of them walked inside, hand-in-hand. +Timmy was a modest little boy. He wanted to stay active, so he decided to do some exercises after school.

Where do you think you're going?" the guard asked. + +Billy looked up at the guard and said, "I'm going to rock". + +The guard smiled and said, "Well then, have fun in there rocking!

She was three years old and very curious. + +One day, Lucy asked her mum, "What does 'spoil' mean?" + +Her mum said, "It means you are being very naughty and not doing what you are supposed to do." + +Lucy then asked, "Can I spoil the cold?" + +Mum replied, "No, you must keep the cold clean and tidy." + +So Lucy tidied and cleaned the cold, then she put away her toys. + +Mum praised her and said, "That's very good.

He was so scared he couldn't move. + +The voice belonged to a kind old man. He said to Jack in a gentle voice, "Child, it is always important to mind what the signs are telling you. It is there to keep you safe. Never do anything without thinking." + +Jack was embarrassed but he still thanked the old man for warning him.

She decided to hide it under her shirt and sneak it inside. + +When the little girl got home, her mom noticed. “What do you have there?â€, the mom asked. + +The little girl admitted to having the inchworm and showed it to her mom. The mom was worried that the inchworm could cause harm, but the little girl was obedient and promised to take care of it. The mom gave her permission to keep the inchworm as a pet, but only if she followed all of her instructions carefully. + +The little girl was so happy that she was allowed to keep her new pet. She was a very obedient child and followed all of her mom’s instructions. She happily played with her small inchworm in the backyard and never had to worry again. +Once upon a time there were two little pandas, Flip and Flop. Flip was very gentle and was always caring for his brother Flop. + +One day, Flip and Flop were walking in the forest and saw a tiny bee flying near them. As the bee was buzzing around, Flop let out a very big sneeze. + +The bee was so scared he flew away and didn't come back. + +Flip said to Flop, "Didn't I tell you to be gentle in the forest? Now the bee won't come back. We have to be more careful.†+ +Flop said, "I'm sorry, Flip. I'll remember†+ +The two pandas learned their lesson and promised to be more gentle when they were in the forest. + +From that day onwards, Flip and Flop would always wait patiently until noon before they set out to explore the forest so they would not startle any of the animals. + +Moral of the story: It is important to be gentle when we interact with nature, so that we don't scare away any animals. +Max and his mum were in the toy shop.

Lucy was so excited and ran around asking everyone if they knew of a very special puppy. + +But wherever she went she couldn't find the pup she wanted. Until finally, when Lucy was walking past the park, she saw a smelly old dog asleep in the grass. Lucy knew he was the one and she ran to tell her mum. + +Mum was surprised, because the smelly old pup certainly wasn't the kind of pup she had in mind. But she said that if Lucy wanted that pup, she could. + +Lucy was so happy she could hardly believe it. She hugged the pup and brought him home straight away. She called him Patch and from then on, the two of them were always together. + +And because Lucy succeeded in getting her dream puppy, she and Patch lived happily ever after.

In front of their feet, a large spider was scuttling across the ground. Teddy stepped back, afraid. The spider was huge and had many legs. + +Lucy said, "We must surrender to the spider. We can't win." Teddy was confused, but he agreed.

He asked her again. "What does surrender mean?" + +Lucy smiled and said "It means when you give up something, like we gave up the trail to the spider. We chose to let it go." + +Teddy nodded, understanding. He and Lucy were best friends now more than ever, knowing that sometimes surrender was the best thing to do. +Once upon a time, there was a lazy sheep called Jack.

But Mary was scared to swing so high. She asked Sam to stop, but he just kept going. + +Suddenly, the swing broke. Mary was very upset. Sam felt very bad and tried to apologize.

"Let me get your paper," she said, handing him a tall stack. + +John was so excited! "What can I do with it?" he asked. + +His mom laughed. "What do you think you can do?" + +John thought for a moment before his face lit up. "Stir!" he exclaimed. + +So John carefully used his hands to stir the bright white paper, spinning it round and round. He loved to watch the colors mix together and make new shapes. He stirred until the paper was a rainbow. + +John laughed in delight. "Stir, stir, stir!" he said as he spun the paper faster and faster. + +His mom smiled as she watched her son.

He wanted to touch the cooler. He ran to the cooler and tried to push it. But it was too big and heavy for Jack. He tried and tried but it wouldn’t move. + +Jack’s mommy helped him. Together they fell down in laughter. Then they used their hands to push the cooler. Finally, it moved and they were so happy. + +Jack and his mommy opened the cooler. Inside were cool drinks and ice cream! They laughed and cheered. Jack thought that was the most impressive thing he had ever seen! +Once upon a time there was a little boy. He was only three and his name was Tommy. Tommy was a bit naughty and liked to explore. One day, he decided to go upstairs, although his mom had told him not to. + +Tommy went up and he was surprised by how dirty it was up there.

Inside he saw a dog, lying on its bed and looking at Tommy with bright eyes. Tommy asked, "Who are you?". The dog replied, "My name is Bailey. I'm spending the day here." + +Tommy was happy. He asked Bailey to come and play with him and Bailey said yes. They played together all day and Tommy's mom said it was okay, as long as they weren't upstairs.

"Let's start eating!", said the selfish one. + +The compassionate child was not ready, however. Looking around, they noticed a scruffy and thin dog. "This poor creature looks hungry. Let's feed him some of our food," they said. + +But the selfish child refused and became angry. "What do you mean feed him? That's our food!

He was so scared that he ran away and hid. He waited for a few minutes before he decided to go back and try to find out what was making the sound. + +The brave boy went deeper into the cave and eventually he saw what was making the sound. It was a strange creature with a big, ugly brain. Its eyes were full of fear and it screamed when it saw the boy. + +The brave boy was so scared that he ran out of the cave.

Daisy ran as fast as she could back inside her house, feeling happy to be out of the freezing weather. She wanted to stay warm and safe under her big and cozy blanket.

The mouse squirmed and wriggled but the cat held tight. + +The moral of the story is to be fair. We should not be jealous of other people or animals and try to take things that do not belong to us.

So it hopped along until it arrived at the well. + +The frog looked down into the deep, dark well and said, “It looks scary!†But then it felt brave.

The farmer was very impressed. + +"Good job!" he said. "Here you are, lots of sweet hay for the sheep!" + +Jenny was so happy to help the sheep.

They were looking for something to eat. Suddenly, the reindeer dropped some food on the ground. The fox quickly tried to grab the food, but the reindeer was too stubborn. He refused to share the food with the fox. + +The fox then said to the reindeer, "It's not nice to be so stubborn. We should share what we have so that we can both be happy." But the reindeer still refused. + +Later that day, the fox came to the same spot and dropped his food on the ground. The reindeer saw this, but instead of taking it all, he took half and shared the rest with the fox. + +The fox was very happy and said, "Thank you! It's much better to share than to be selfish."

She was so beautiful that she was admired by everybody who saw her. + +One day, she was flying around and peeking inside people's windows. She saw a nice garden outside one of the windows and went inside to explore it. Inside the garden, she found lots of delicious fruits and nectar to eat.

Cathy was embarrassed and her Mommy gave her a hug and said, "One day, you'll understand why I said no." + +Afterwards, they went to Cathy's party. There were balloons and snacks and all her friends. Everyone was having fun until Cathy's brother spilled some juice on the new rug and Mommy got really mad. She yelled at him, but then looked at Cathy and said, "This is why I said no to the teddy bear." + +Cathy was embarrassed again. She realized that her mother had said no because she didn't have enough money to buy the teddy bear and pay for the new rug. She was sad and embarrassed, but she had learned an important lesson. Mommy had said no because she was looking out for the family's future. Being responsible meant that sometimes things had to be denied, even if they wanted them. +Once upon a time, there lived a baby squirrel.

You are hurting my truck!" He got out of his truck and walked to them. He said "Why are you fighting over my truck? Don't you know that trucks are not for fighting? Trucks are for sharing and having fun. If you fight over trucks, you will break them and make them sad. And you will lose your friends and make them sad. You should be nice to trucks and to your friends. You should unite and play together. Then you will be happy and make the trucks happy." + +Tom and Sam looked at each other and felt sorry. They said "Sorry, sorry, sorry." They let go of the monster truck. They said "Sorry, Mr. Monster Truck Driver. We were wrong. We will not fight over trucks anymore. We will share and have fun. We will unite and play together. Can we see your truck, please?" + +The monster truck driver smiled and said "Sure, sure, sure. You can see my truck. But be careful. It is very big and loud. And it has a lot of gas. Gas makes it go fast and jump high. But gas can also be dangerous. You should not touch the gas or play with the gas. You should stay away from the gas. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nodded and said "Yes, yes, yes. We understand. We will not touch the gas or play with the gas. We will stay away from the gas. Thank you, Mr. Monster Truck Driver. You are very nice and very famous." + +The monster truck driver said "You are welcome, welcome, welcome. You are very smart and very brave. Now come and see my truck. I will show you how it works and what it can do. But remember, no gas, no gas, no gas." + +Tom and Sam followed the monster truck driver and saw his truck. They learned a lot and had a lot of fun. They also learned to unite and share and be friends. They never fought over trucks again. They were happy and made the trucks happy. And they lived happily ever after. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are twins. They share a crib in their room. Sometimes they play nice, but sometimes they fight. Mommy and Daddy tell them to behave, but they do not always listen. + +One night, Anna and Ben hear a loud noise outside. They look out the window and see a huge bear. The bear is hungry and angry. It roars and scratches the door. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They hug each other and cry. They wish Mommy and Daddy would come. + +"Anna, Ben, what is wrong?" Mommy and Daddy run into the room. They see the bear and grab the twins. They run to the other room and lock the door. + +"Mommy, Daddy, there is a huge bear outside!" Anna and Ben say. + +"We know, sweeties, we know. Don't worry, we will keep you safe. The bear will go away soon. You are very brave." Mommy and Daddy say. + +They cuddle and kiss Anna and Ben. They tell them stories and sing songs. They make them feel calm and happy. + +Anna and Ben are glad they have Mommy and Daddy. They say sorry for fighting. They promise to behave. They fall asleep in Mommy and Daddy's arms. The bear leaves and they are safe. +Lily liked to play with her mom's computer. She liked to see the pictures and hear the sounds. But mom said she could only play when mom was with her. Lily wanted to play by herself. + +One day, mom was busy in the kitchen. Lily saw the computer on the table. She climbed on a chair and reached for it. She was very careful. She did not want to drop it. She managed to get the computer and put it on her lap. She was very happy. + +She turned on the computer and saw a game. It was a game with animals. Lily loved animals. She clicked on the mouse and saw a cat. She clicked again and saw a dog. She clicked more and more and saw many animals. She laughed and clapped her hands. + +But then, something went wrong. The computer made a loud noise and the screen went black. Lily was scared. She did not know what to do. She heard mom coming. She tried to hide the computer under a pillow. + +Mom came into the room and saw Lily on the chair. She saw the pillow on her lap. She knew something was wrong. She asked Lily what she was doing. Lily did not answer. She looked down. + +Mom lifted the pillow and saw the computer. She was angry. She asked Lily why she took the computer. Lily said she wanted to play. She said she was sorry. She said she did not mean to break it. + +Mom sighed. She took the computer and checked it. She was glad it was not broken. She told Lily it was not a toy. She told Lily she could only play with it when mom said yes. She told Lily she had to be careful with it. She told Lily she loved her. + +Lily felt bad. She said she was sorry again. She said she loved mom too. She hugged mom and said she would not do it again. Mom hugged her back and said it was okay. She said they could play together later. Lily smiled and said yes. She was glad mom was not mad. She was glad mom was nice. She was glad mom was her mom. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. Today is Lily's birthday. She has a party in her house. She invites Tom and other friends. + +Tom wants to give Lily a gift. He thinks of what Lily likes. He remembers that Lily likes animals. He has a hairy toy bear. He likes the bear, but he loves Lily more. He decides to give the bear to Lily. + +He goes to his room and searches for the bear. He looks under his bed, in his closet, and in his toy box. He cannot find the bear. He feels sad and worried. Where is the bear? + +He hears his mom call him. "Tom, it's time to go to Lily's party. Are you ready?" She asks. + +Tom runs to his mom. "Mom, I can't find my bear. I want to give it to Lily. She likes animals. It's her birthday. Please help me find it." He says. + +Mom hugs Tom. "Don't worry, sweetie. We'll find your bear. Maybe it's in the living room. Let's go and see." She says. + +They go to the living room and search for the bear. They see it on the sofa. It is next to a book. Tom is happy. He grabs the bear and hugs it. "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Let's go to Lily's party. I hope she likes my gift." He says. + +Mom smiles. "You're welcome, honey. I'm sure Lily will love your gift. You are a good friend. Let's go and have fun." She says. + +They go to Lily's house. They see balloons, cake, and games. They see Lily and other friends. Lily is wearing a pink dress and a crown. She is happy. She sees Tom and his mom. She runs to them. "Hi, Tom. Hi, Tom's mom. Thank you for coming to my party. Do you have a gift for me?" She asks. + +Tom gives Lily the bear. "Happy birthday, Lily. This is for you. It's a hairy toy bear. I hope you like it. It's my favorite toy, but I love you more." He says. + +Lily takes the bear and hugs it. She smiles. "Thank you, Tom. I love it. It's so soft and cute. You are my best friend. Come and play with me." She says. + +Tom and Lily play with the bear and other toys. They have fun. They eat cake and sing songs. They are happy. It is a good party. +Lily was worry. She wanted to see the angel on the big tree. But the tree was too high for her. She could not climb it. She asked her big brother Sam to help her. + +"Please, Sam, lift me up. I want to see the angel. She is so pretty and shiny. She has wings and a dress and a star." + +Sam was busy. He was playing with his cars. He did not want to help Lily. He said, "No, Lily, go away. You are too small and silly. You will break the angel. She is not for you. She is for the big people." + +Lily was sad. She cried. She did not like Sam. He was mean and rude. She ran to her mom. She told her what Sam said. Mom was angry. She said, "Sam, that is not nice. You should share with your sister. She just wants to see the angel. She will not break it. Come here and say sorry to Lily." + +Sam did not want to say sorry. He was stubborn. He said, "No, mom, I will not. The angel is mine. I put it on the tree. Lily can have the dry socks. They are boring and ugly. She can play with them." + +Mom was more angry. She said, "Sam, that is enough. You are being very naughty. You will not get any cookies for snack. You will go to your room and think about what you did. Lily, you can come with me. I will lift you up and show you the angel. She is for everyone. She is a sign of love and peace." +Lily liked to watch the birds in the garden. She saw them fly and sing and hop on the grass. She wanted to touch them, but they were too fast and shy. One day, she saw a bird with a red chest and a black cap. It was a charming bird, and it did not fly away when she came closer. + +Lily was very happy and quiet. She held out her hand with some seeds. The bird looked at her and tilted its head. Then it flew to her hand and ate the seeds. Lily felt its soft feathers and warm body. She smiled and whispered, "Hello, bird. You are my friend." + +The bird stayed with Lily for a while. It sang to her and pecked at her hair. Lily giggled and stroked its back. She felt very lucky and proud. She wanted to show the bird to her mom and dad. She said, "Come, bird. Let's go inside. I will give you more seeds and water." + +But the bird did not want to go inside. It liked the garden and the sky. It flew off Lily's hand and landed on a branch. It looked at Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. But I have to go now. Maybe I will see you again." + +Lily was sad and confused. She said, "But bird, why do you have to go? Don't you like me? Don't you want to stay with me?" The bird said, "I do like you, Lily. You are very sweet. But I belong to the wild. I have to find my own food and home. I have to be free." + +Lily understood. She said, "I see, bird. You are right. You have to be free. I will miss you, but I will not forget you. Goodbye, bird. Have a good life." The bird said, "Goodbye, Lily. Have a good day. And thank you for the seeds." Then it flew away, high and far. + +Lily watched the bird until it was gone. She felt a tear in her eye, but also a smile on her face. She had made a friend, and she had learned something new. She ran back to the house and told her mom and dad about the charming bird. They hugged her and said, "We are proud of you, Lily. You are very brave and generous." Lily felt happy and warm. She said, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you. And I love the birds." +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they are hungry and they want to eat. They go to the kitchen and see a big pot on the stove. They think it is their meal. + +"Let's open the pot and see what is inside," Tom says. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be hot," Sam says. + +They lift the lid and look inside. They see a lot of green stuff and some brown stuff. They do not know what it is. They do not like it. It does not look good. + +"Yuck! What is this?" Tom says. + +"I don't know. It smells bad," Sam says. + +They hear a noise. It is their mom. She is coming back from the store. She sees them in the kitchen. She sees the pot. She is angry. + +"What are you doing? That is not your meal. That is my soup for later. You are not supposed to touch it," she says. + +Tom and Sam panic. They drop the lid and run away. They hide under the bed. They are scared. They are sorry. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not know. We were hungry," they say. + +Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she is not mad. She loves them. She knows they are little. She knows they make mistakes. + +"It's OK. I forgive you. But next time, ask me before you touch anything in the kitchen. And don't panic. I will always make you a good meal. Come out and I will give you some sandwiches and fruit," she says. + +Tom and Sam come out. They hug mom. They say thank you. They eat their meal. They think it is good. They are happy. They promise to be good. They love mom. +Tom and Mia were playing with their toy boat in the bathtub. They pretended that the boat was sailing to a faraway island, where they could find treasure and have fun. + +"Look, there is the island!" Tom said, pointing to a soap bar. "Let's go and explore it!" + +"Okay, but be careful. There might be fierce animals there, like lions or crocodiles," Mia said, holding her teddy bear. + +They moved the boat closer to the soap bar and jumped out. They walked around the island, looking for shiny things or interesting plants. They saw a shell, a leaf, and a rubber duck. + +"Wow, this is a nice island. I like it here," Tom said, picking up the shell. + +"Me too. But do you hear that noise?" Mia said, listening to a loud splash. + +They turned around and saw a big wave coming towards them. It was their mom, who had opened the faucet to drain the water. + +"Time to get out, kids. The bath is over," she said, smiling. + +"But mom, we were having an adventure on the island. We found a shell and a duck and a leaf," Tom said, showing her his treasures. + +"That's very nice, honey. But you can play with them later. Now you need to dry off and get dressed," she said, wrapping them in towels. + +"Can we mention the island to dad when he comes home?" Mia asked, holding her teddy bear. + +"Of course you can. I'm sure he would love to hear your story," she said, kissing them on the forehead. "Now let's go and have some cookies." +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play near the lake. They saw a fisherman with a big net and a bucket full of fish. They wanted to catch fish too, but they only had a stick and a string. + +"Look at his fish, Ben. They are so shiny and big. I wish we had fish like that," Lila said. + +"Me too, Lila. Maybe we can ask him to share some with us," Ben said. + +They walked to the fisherman and said hello. The fisherman smiled and said hello back. + +"Can we have some of your fish, please?" Lila asked. + +"Sorry, little ones, but these are my fish. I worked hard to catch them. You have to catch your own fish," the fisherman said. + +"But we don't have a net or a bucket. We only have a stick and a string. How can we catch fish with that?" Ben asked. + +The fisherman laughed and said, "You can't catch fish with that. You need a hook and a worm. Do you have a hook and a worm?" + +Lila and Ben shook their heads. They felt sad and envious. They wanted to have fish like the fisherman. + +"Don't worry, little ones. I have an idea. Why don't you help me carry my fish to my boat, and I will give you each a hook and a worm. Then you can try to catch your own fish," the fisherman said. + +Lila and Ben smiled and nodded. They helped the fisherman carry his fish to his boat. The fisherman gave them each a hook and a worm. He showed them how to tie the hook to the string and how to put the worm on the hook. + +"Thank you, fisherman. You are very kind," Lila and Ben said. + +"You're welcome, little ones. Now go and have fun. Be careful not to fall into the lake. And remember, fishing takes patience and luck. You may not catch a fish right away, but don't give up. Maybe you will catch a big one someday," the fisherman said. + +Lila and Ben thanked him again and ran back to the shore. They threw their hooks into the water and waited. They hoped to catch a fish like the fisherman. They were not envious anymore. They were happy and excited. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. They have a big bus toy. It is red and yellow. It has four wheels and a door. + +One day, they are playing with the bus in the park. They take turns to drive the bus. They make noises like beep and vroom. They have fun. + +But then, Tom wants to play with the bus alone. He says, "It is my turn. Give me the bus." He grabs the bus from Lily. Lily is sad. She says, "No, it is my turn. Share the bus." + +Tom does not listen. He is angry. He says, "Go away. The bus is mine." He throws the bus at Lily. He throws it hard. It hits Lily on the head. It hurts. + +Lily cries. She says, "Ow, ow, ow. You are mean. You hurt me." She runs to her mom. Her mom hugs her and says, "It is okay. I am here. You are brave." + +Tom feels sorry. He says, "I am sorry. I was bad. I did not mean to hurt you." He picks up the bus and gives it to Lily. He says, "Here, you can have the bus. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily stops crying. She says, "Thank you. You are nice. Yes, we can be friends again." She smiles and takes the bus. She says, "Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, I do. Let's play together." They hug and play with the bus. They share and take turns. They are happy. +Tim and Jen were twins who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with their blocks. + +One day, they decided to build a big university with their blocks. A university was a place where big people went to learn things. Tim and Jen wanted to learn things too, so they made a university with many rooms and windows and doors. + +They worked hard and used all their blocks. They were very proud of their university. They showed it to their mom and dad, who said it was very good and clever. + +But then, their big brother Tom came home from school. He was in a bad mood. He saw the university and said, "What is this? This is silly. This is not a real university. This is just blocks." + +He kicked the university and destroyed it. All the blocks fell down and made a loud noise. Tim and Jen cried. They were very sad and angry. They said, "Tom, you are mean. You destroyed our university. We worked hard. We liked our university. Why did you do that?" + +Tom did not care. He said, "I don't care. It was just blocks. You are babies. Go away." + +He went to his room and slammed the door. Tim and Jen ran to their mom and dad and told them what Tom did. Mom and dad were very serious. They said, "Tom, you are in trouble. You have to say sorry to Tim and Jen. You have to help them rebuild their university. You have to be nice to your siblings. You have to learn to share and respect." + +But Tom did not listen. He said, "No. I don't want to. I don't like them. I don't like blocks. I don't like anything." + +He stayed in his room and did not come out. He was alone and unhappy. He did not have any friends. He did not have any fun. He did not learn anything. He was a bad brother. He had a bad ending. +Anna loved to swim in the sea. She liked to feel the water on her skin and see the fish and shells. She always wore a hat to protect her head from the sun. Her hat had a big palm on it, like the trees on the beach. + +One day, Anna saw a dolphin in the water. It was gray and shiny, and it jumped out of the water and made a loud sound. Anna was curious and wanted to say hello. She swam closer to the dolphin and waved her hand. + +"Hi, dolphin! I am Anna. Do you want to play with me?" she asked. + +The dolphin nodded and smiled. It swam around Anna and let her touch its smooth skin. It was very friendly and graceful. Anna felt happy and excited. + +They played for a long time, until Anna's mom called her from the shore. + +"Anna, it's time to go home. Say goodbye to your new friend," she said. + +Anna hugged the dolphin and thanked it for the fun. The dolphin waved its tail and made another loud sound. + +"Bye, Anna! Come back soon. I will miss you," it said. + +Anna swam back to the shore and dried herself with a towel. She put on her hat with the palm and looked at the sea. She hoped to see the dolphin again. She knew they were both very lucky to have each other. +Anna and Ben are playing with paper and scissors. They like to cut shapes and make animals and flowers. Anna has red scissors and Ben has blue scissors. They are very careful not to cut themselves or each other. + +"Look, I made a bird!" Anna says, holding up a paper with a triangle and a circle. "It can fly in the sky!" + +"Wow, that's nice!" Ben says, admiring Anna's bird. "I made a fish. It can swim in the water!" + +They show each other their paper animals and pretend they are alive. They make noises and move them around. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud bark. It is Max, their dog. He is big and furry and likes to play. He runs into the room and jumps on the bed. He sees the paper animals and thinks they are toys. He grabs Anna's bird with his mouth and shakes it. + +"Max, no!" Anna shouts, trying to get her bird back. "That's my bird! Drop it!" + +But Max does not listen. He is deaf. He cannot hear Anna or Ben. He only hears his own bark and the paper crinkling. He thinks it is fun. He squeezes the bird hard and tears it apart. + +Anna is sad. She cries. She worked hard on her bird and now it is gone. Ben is sad too. He likes Anna and does not want her to be unhappy. He thinks of a way to help. + +"Anna, don't cry," he says, giving her a hug. "I have an idea. We can make a new bird. A bigger and better bird. We can use more paper and more scissors. And we can use glue and stickers and feathers. Do you want to try?" + +Anna wipes her tears and nods. She smiles. She likes Ben and his idea. She thinks it is kind. They get more paper and scissors and glue and stickers and feathers. They work together and make a new bird. A bigger and better bird. It is red and blue and shiny and fluffy. It is the most beautiful bird they have ever seen. + +They show their new bird to Max. He barks and wags his tail. He likes the new bird too. But he does not try to grab it. He knows it is not a toy. He knows it is Anna and Ben's bird. He licks their faces and cuddles with them. They are happy. They are friends. They love their bird and their dog. +Lily liked to sing. She sang all the time. She sang in the morning, she sang at lunch, she sang at night. She sang loud and high and low. She sang happy songs and sad songs and funny songs. She sang when she was alone and when she was with her family and friends. She sang because she enjoyed it. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, do you want to go to the opera with me? It is a place where people sing very well and wear nice clothes and tell stories with their voices. I think you will like it." + +Lily was excited. She said, "Yes, mom, I want to go to the opera! Can I wear my pink dress and my shiny shoes and my sparkly headband?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, you can. You will look very pretty. But remember, at the opera, we have to be quiet and listen to the singers. We can't sing along or talk or make noise. Okay?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will be quiet and listen. I can't wait to go to the opera!" + +The next day, they went to the opera. They sat in a big room with many people and a big stage. The lights went down and the music started. Lily saw the singers come out. They wore beautiful dresses and suits and hats and jewels. They sang very loud and high and low. They sang happy songs and sad songs and funny songs. They sang in a language that Lily did not understand, but she liked the sounds. She enjoyed the opera. + +But then, something happened. Lily heard a song that she knew. It was a song that she sang at home, a song that her mom taught her, a song that made her happy. She forgot where she was. She forgot that she had to be quiet. She opened her mouth and sang along. + +She sang, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are." + +She sang loud and high and low. She sang with all her heart. She did not notice that the singers on the stage stopped. She did not notice that the music stopped. She did not notice that the people around her turned and looked at her. She did not notice that her mom tried to shush her. She only noticed that she enjoyed singing. + +But then, she noticed. She noticed that everyone was staring at her. She noticed that some people were smiling and some people were frowning and some people were laughing. She noticed that her mom was red and embarrassed. She noticed that she had made a mistake. She stopped singing. She felt scared and sorry and sad. + +She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sing. I forgot. I liked the song. I liked the opera. I'm sorry." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you didn't mean to sing. I know you liked the song. I know you liked the opera. But sometimes, we have to follow the rules and respect the others. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. Can we still watch the opera?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can. But let's move to the back, where we can sit quietly and listen. And maybe, when we get home, we can sing together. Okay?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Okay, mom. I love you. And I love singing. And I love the opera." + +They moved to the back and watched the rest of the opera. They clapped and cheered at the end. They went home and sang together. They enjoyed the opera. And they enjoyed each other. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play and laugh together. They also love to dance. They dance in the park, in the classroom, and at home. They dance fast and slow, happy and sad, silly and serious. + +One day, a new girl comes to their school. Her name is Mia. She is very pretty and smart. She can sing and draw and read. She also loves to dance. She dances with Lily and Tom in the park, in the classroom, and at home. She dances fast and slow, happy and sad, silly and serious. + +Lily and Tom like Mia. She is fun and kind. But they also feel jealous. They want to dance with each other, not with Mia. They want to be the best dancers, not Mia. They want to have more attention, not Mia. + +One day, they decide to tell Mia to go away. They say, "Mia, you can't dance with us anymore. You are too good. You make us look bad. You take our fun. You are not our friend." + +Mia feels sad and hurt. She says, "But I like you. I want to be your friend. I don't want to make you look bad. I want to share our fun. Can't we dance together?" + +Lily and Tom look at Mia. They see her tears and hear her voice. They feel sorry and ashamed. They realize they were mean and wrong. They say, "Mia, we are sorry. We were jealous. You are good. You don't make us look bad. You add to our fun. You are our friend. Can you forgive us?" + +Mia smiles and nods. She says, "Yes, I forgive you. I am happy. You are my friends. Can we dance together?" + +Lily and Tom hug Mia. They say, "Yes, we can dance together. We love to dance. We love you. You are our friend." + +They dance in the park, in the classroom, and at home. They dance fast and slow, happy and sad, silly and serious. They dance as friends. +Lily and Sam were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and make noise. They did not like to behave. Mom told them to be quiet and nice, but they did not listen. + +"Look, a mosquito!" Sam said. He saw a small bug with wings and a long nose. He wanted to catch it and see what it did. + +"No, don't touch it!" Lily said. She knew that mosquitoes could bite and make you itch. She was afraid of them. "It will hurt you!" + +Sam did not care. He ran after the mosquito. He tried to grab it with his hand. He was crazy. + +The mosquito was fast and smart. It flew away from Sam. It saw Lily standing still. It flew to her arm and bit her. Lily felt a sharp pain. She screamed and cried. + +Mom heard Lily and came to the garden. She saw the mosquito on Lily's arm. She swatted it away. She saw the red bump on Lily's skin. She felt sorry for Lily. + +"Lily, are you okay?" Mom asked. She hugged Lily and kissed her arm. She put some cream on the bump. She hoped it would make it better. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Lily said. She was sad and sorry. She wished she had behaved. + +Sam also felt sorry. He saw that he had made Lily and Mom unhappy. He wished he had not chased the mosquito. He was not crazy anymore. + +"I'm sorry, too, Mom," Sam said. He hugged Mom and Lily. He said he would behave. + +Mom smiled and hugged them both. She said she loved them. She said they could play in the garden, but they had to be careful and listen. She said mosquitoes were not nice. + +Lily and Sam nodded. They said they loved Mom. They said they would be careful and listen. They said they would behave. They did not want to see any more mosquitoes. +Anna loved to look at the stars at night. She wondered what they were and how they shone so bright. She wished she could visit them and see what they were like. + +One night, she had a dream that she flew up to the sky and met a star. The star was very friendly and said hello to her. + +"Hello, star. You are so pretty and shiny. Can I visit you?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, you can visit me. I am happy to have a friend. But you cannot stay too long. You belong to the earth, not the sky," the star said. + +"Why not? I like it here. It is so quiet and peaceful. And you are so nice," Anna said. + +"Because you are a human, not a star. You need air and water and food and warmth. You cannot live in the sky. You have a family and a home and a world that need you. You are special and important there," the star said. + +Anna felt confused. She liked the star, but she also missed her family and her home and her world. She did not know what to do. + +The star saw her confusion and smiled. "Do not worry, Anna. You can always visit me in your dreams. And I will always watch over you from the sky. We are friends, no matter where we are. But you must remember who you are and where you belong. That is the best way to be happy," the star said. + +Anna understood. She thanked the star and hugged him. Then she flew back to the earth and woke up. She looked out the window and saw the star twinkling at her. She smiled and waved at him. Then she went to her family and hugged them. She was happy to visit the star, but she was happier to be home. + +The moral of the story is: It is good to explore and learn new things, but it is also important to know who you are and where you belong. You can have friends in different places, but you should never forget your family and your home. They are the ones who love you and care for you the most. +Jenny and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box of toys in their room, but they also liked to explore the house and find new things. One day, they saw a shiny key on the table in the hall. They wondered what it could open. + +"Let's try it on the doors," Jenny said. + +"Okay," Tom agreed. + +They took the key and went to the doors in the hall. They tried it on the first door, but it did not fit. They tried it on the second door, but it did not fit. They tried it on the third door, but it did not fit. They were about to give up, when they saw one more door at the end of the hall. It was the door to their grandma's room. + +"Let's try it on this one," Tom said. + +"Maybe we shouldn't," Jenny said. "Grandma said we should not go in her room. She has old things that can break." + +"But maybe she has something fun to play with," Tom said. "We can be careful." + +Jenny was not sure, but she followed Tom to the door. Tom put the key in the lock and turned it. The door opened with a click. + +They went inside and saw a lot of things they had never seen before. There were books, pictures, clothes, and jewelry. There was also a big bed with a quilt and a pillow. + +"Wow, look at all this," Tom said. "Let's see what's in the books." + +"Okay," Jenny said. + +They went to the bookshelf and picked up a book. It had a lot of words they could not read and some pictures they did not understand. They opened it and saw a map with a red X on it. + +"What's this?" Jenny asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it's a treasure map. Maybe grandma has a treasure in her room." + +"Let's find it," Jenny said. + +They put the book down and looked around the room. They saw a dresser, a closet, a chest, and a trunk. They decided to start with the trunk. They lifted the lid and saw a lot of old things. There were letters, photos, medals, and a flag. + +"These are boring," Tom said. "Let's try the chest." + +They closed the trunk and went to the chest. They opened it and saw a lot of clothes. There were dresses, hats, scarves, and gloves. + +"These are old," Jenny said. "Let's try the closet." + +They closed the chest and went to the closet. They opened it and saw a lot of shoes. There were boots, sandals, slippers, and heels. + +"These are ugly," Tom said. "Let's try the dresser." + +They closed the closet and went to the dresser. They opened the drawers and saw a lot of jewelry. There were necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings. + +"These are pretty," Jenny said. "Let's try them on." + +They took out some of the jewelry and put it on. Jenny wore a necklace and a ring. Tom wore a bracelet and an earring. They looked at themselves in the mirror and laughed. + +"We look like grandma," Jenny said. + +"Or like pirates," Tom said. + +They heard a noise outside the door. It was grandma coming back from the store. She had a bag of cookies for them. + +"Jenny, Tom, where are you?" she called. + +They panicked and tried to take off the jewelry. But they could not. The necklace was too tight, the ring was too small, the bracelet was too big, and the earring was stuck. + +"Uh-oh," Jenny said. + +"Uh-oh," Tom said. + +They heard grandma's footsteps coming closer. They looked for a place to hide. They saw the bed and ran to it. They crawled under the quilt and hoped grandma would not see them. + +Grandma opened the door and saw the mess in her room. She saw the open trunk, the open chest, the open closet, and the open dresser. She saw the book on the floor, the map on the bed, and the jewelry on the mirror. She was very angry. + +"Who did this?" she shouted. + +She heard a muffled sound under the quilt. She pulled it back and saw Jenny and Tom. They were wearing her jewelry and looking very scared. + +"Jenny, Tom, what are you doing here?" she asked. + +They did not answer. They knew they were in trouble. + +Grandma looked at them and sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was sad. + +"Jenny, Tom, do you know what these things are?" she asked. + +They shook their heads. + +"These are not toys," she said. "These are memories. They are from my life, from my family, from my friends. They +Tom and Mia wanted to fly their kite in the park. They ran with the kite and threw it in the air. But the wind was too strong and the kite flew away. They chased the kite, but it got stuck in a big tree. + +"Oh no!" Tom said. "How can we get our kite back?" + +Mia looked around. She saw a long stick on the ground. She picked it up and said, "Maybe we can use this stick to poke the kite out of the tree." + +She tried to reach the kite with the stick, but it was too high. She asked Tom to help her. They both held the stick and pushed it up. But the stick was too short and the kite was too tough. It did not move. + +"This is hard!" Mia said. "We need a better plan." + +Tom thought for a moment. He saw a man with a ladder nearby. He ran to the man and said, "Excuse me, sir. Can you please help us? Our kite is stuck in the tree and we can't get it down." + +The man smiled and said, "Sure, I can help you. Let me bring my ladder over." He carried the ladder to the tree and set it up. He climbed the ladder and reached the kite. He untangled it from the branches and handed it to Tom and Mia. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Tom and Mia said. They hugged the man and thanked him again. + +The man said, "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad I could help you solve your problem. Enjoy your kite." + +Tom and Mia waved to the man and ran to the field. They flew their kite again, but this time they held it tight. They had fun in the park and learned a lesson. Sometimes, you need to ask for help when things are too tough. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks. One day, Tom saw a big red truck in Sam's yard. He wanted to play with it. + +"Can I borrow your truck, Sam?" Tom asked. + +"OK, but only for a little while. My dad gave it to me for my birthday. It is very special," Sam said. + +Tom took the truck and ran to the park. He made it go fast and loud. He had fun. He forgot about Sam. + +But the sky was getting dark and windy. It was a hurricane. It was dangerous. Sam was scared. He wanted his truck back. + +"Tom, where are you? Come back! The hurricane is coming!" Sam shouted. + +Tom heard Sam. He felt bad. He ran back to Sam with the truck. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I was having fun. I forgot. Here is your truck. Are you mad at me?" Tom said. + +Sam hugged Tom. He was happy to see him. + +"No, I'm not mad. I'm glad you are safe. Thank you for bringing back my truck. Let's go inside. The hurricane is here," Sam said. + +They ran inside. They held their trucks. They watched the hurricane from the window. They were friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big flag on a pole. The flag was red and white and blue. It moved in the wind. + +"Look, a flag!" Lily said. "Let's go and see it." + +"OK," Tom said. They ran to the flag. They wanted to touch it. + +But a man was standing by the flag. He was wearing a hat and a badge. He looked angry. + +"Stop!" he said. "You can't touch the flag. It is not for playing. It is for showing respect." + +Tom and Lily were sad. They did not understand. They liked the flag. They wanted to play with it. + +"Why not?" Lily asked. "It is so pretty and soft." + +The man shook his head. "No, no, no. The flag is a symbol. It means something important. You have to be careful with it. You have to salute it." + +Tom and Lily did not know what a symbol was. They did not know what salute meant. They thought the man was mean. + +They started to complain. They said the flag was theirs. They said the man was bad. They said they wanted to play. + +The man got more angry. He said they were rude. He said they had to leave. He said he would call their parents. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not want to leave. They did not want to get in trouble. They looked for a place to hide. + +They saw a big bush. It had green leaves and red flowers. It was hidden behind a bench. They ran to the bush. They crawled under it. They hoped the man would not find them. + +They stayed in the bush. They whispered to each other. They said they were sorry. They said they did not mean to be bad. They said they just liked the flag. + +They waited for the man to go away. They hoped their parents would come soon. They hoped they would not be mad. They hoped they could still play. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a shiny thing on the ground. It is a ring. It is part of a jewelry set that someone lost. + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna says. "It is so pretty and sparkly. Can I have it?" + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. "I saw it first. Give it to me!" + +They start to tug on the ring. They do not want to share. They are not being nice. + +Suddenly, they hear a voice. It is a lady. She is looking for her jewelry set. She is very sad. + +"Excuse me, have you seen my ring?" she asks. "It is very important to me. It was a gift from my husband. He is very reliable. He always keeps his promises. He said he would come back from his trip soon. But I have not heard from him in a long time. I miss him so much." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for the lady. They stop tugging on the ring. They look at each other. They know what to do. + +"Here, this is your ring," Anna says. "We are sorry we took it. We did not know it was yours." + +"Thank you, thank you so much!" the lady says. "You are very kind and honest. You have made me very happy. Can I give you a hug?" + +She hugs Anna and Ben. They hug her back. They feel good. + +They see the rest of the jewelry set on the grass. They help the lady pick it up. They are careful not to slip on the wet ground. + +The lady thanks them again. She says goodbye. She smiles. She puts on her jewelry set. She looks beautiful. + +Anna and Ben wave to her. They smile too. They have learned a lesson. They have made a friend. They decide to share their toys. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a big case with many buttons and sounds. They liked to press the buttons and hear the noises. + +"Look, Ben, this button makes a siren sound!" Lily said, pressing a red button. + +"Wow, that's cool! And this one makes a horn sound!" Ben said, pressing a yellow button. + +They took turns pressing the buttons, making a lot of noise. They were having fun, but they did not see that their cat, Max, was sleeping on the couch. Max did not like the noise. He was trying to nap, but he could not. He was very angry. + +Max jumped off the couch and ran to the case. He wanted to stop the noise. He used his claws to scratch the case. He made a big hole in the case. He saw wires and batteries inside. He tried to pull them out. + +"Hey, stop that, Max!" Ben shouted, seeing what the cat was doing. + +He ran to the case and tried to grab Max. But Max was faster. He bit Ben's hand and ran away. Ben cried out in pain. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked, worried. + +She ran to Ben and hugged him. She saw blood on his hand. She felt bad for him. + +"I'm okay, Lily. But Max is bad. He broke our case. He hurt me." Ben said, sobbing. + +Lily squeezed Ben's hand gently. She wanted to make him feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. Max is bad. But we can fix our case. And we can put a band-aid on your hand. Come on, let's go to Mommy. She will help us." Lily said, comforting him. + +She took Ben's hand and led him to the kitchen, where their mommy was. She told their mommy what happened. Their mommy hugged them and cleaned Ben's wound. She put a band-aid on his hand and gave him a kiss. She also gave them cookies and milk. + +"Thank you, Mommy. You are good." Ben said, smiling. + +"You're welcome, Ben. I love you. And I love you, Lily. You are good, too. You are a good sister." Mommy said, smiling. + +They hugged Mommy and ate their cookies and milk. They felt better. They decided to play with another toy. They left the case alone. They hoped Max would not come back. +Lily wanted to prepare a surprise for her mom. She found some paper, crayons, glue and glitter in her room. She drew a big heart and wrote "I love you" inside. Then she sprinkled glitter all over the paper. She was very proud of her work. + +She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was making lunch. She hid the paper behind her back and said, "Mom, I have something for you. Close your eyes and hold out your hands." + +Her mom smiled and did what Lily asked. Lily put the paper in her mom's hands and said, "Open your eyes. Surprise!" + +Her mom opened her eyes and gasped. She saw the glittery heart and the sweet message. She hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, my darling. This is the most beautiful gift ever. I love you too." + +But then she noticed something else. Her hands were covered in glitter. And so was her face, her hair, her clothes and the floor. The glitter had fallen off the paper when Lily gave it to her. She looked like a disco ball. + +Lily saw the glitter too. She felt embarrassed. She did not mean to make a mess. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to make you happy, not sparkly." + +Her mom laughed and said, "Don't worry, honey. You did make me happy. And sparkly. It's okay. We can clean it up later. Come on, let's have lunch. You can tell me how you made this wonderful heart." + +Lily smiled and followed her mom. She was glad her mom liked her surprise. She thought glitter was pretty, but maybe next time she would use less of it. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They saw a big tree with many green and yellow pears. They wanted to eat some, but the pears were too high for them. + +"Let's get a ladder," said Lily. + +"No, let's use a stick," said Ben. + +They found a long stick and tried to poke the pears. But the stick was not strong enough and it broke. The twins were sad. + +"Maybe we can climb the tree," said Lily. + +"No, it's too scary," said Ben. He was fearful of falling. + +They looked around and saw a stool. They dragged it to the tree and put it under a branch. Lily climbed on the stool and reached for a pear. She grabbed it and smiled. + +"Look, I got one!" she said. + +"Good job, Lily!" said Ben. He climbed on the stool and reached for another pear. He got it and laughed. + +They ate the pears and they were sweet and juicy. They were happy and proud. They decided to share some pears with their mom and dad. They picked more pears and put them in a basket. They ran to the house and showed their parents. + +"Look what we found in the garden!" they said. + +"Wow, you are very clever and brave!" said their mom and dad. They hugged the twins and thanked them for the pears. They all enjoyed the pears together. The twins felt loved and joyful. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has a picture of a cone on it. The cone is yellow and has white stuff on top. + +"Look, mom, look!" Anna says. "It is a cone truck!" + +"Yes, it is, sweetie," mom says. "Do you know what the white stuff is?" + +Ben thinks hard. He remembers a word mom taught him. "It is ice cream!" he says. + +"Very good, Ben," mom says. "Do you want to try some ice cream?" + +Anna and Ben nod and smile. They run to the truck with mom. They see a man inside the truck. He has a big hat and a big smile. + +"Hello, little ones," he says. "What can I get you?" + +"I want a yellow cone with white ice cream, please," Anna says. + +"I want the same, please," Ben says. + +The man nods and makes two cones. He gives one to Anna and one to Ben. They say thank you and lick their cones. They are cold and sweet and yummy. + +Anna and Ben are very happy. They sit on a bench with mom and enjoy their cones. They do not see a big dog that is walking in the park. The dog smells the ice cream and wants some too. He sneaks behind the bench and waits for his chance. + +The dog sees Anna put her cone down for a moment. He jumps and grabs it with his mouth. He runs away with the cone. + +"Hey, that is my cone!" Anna cries. She is sad and angry. + +"Look, mom, look!" Ben says. "The dog took Anna's cone!" + +Mom sees the dog and the cone. She is sorry for Anna. She gets up and runs after the dog. She calls him to stop and give back the cone. + +The dog does not listen. He runs faster and faster. He thinks he is clever and lucky. He does not see a big hole in the ground. He falls into the hole with the cone. + +"Ouch!" the dog says. He is hurt and scared. + +Mom catches up with the dog. She sees him in the hole with the cone. She feels sorry for the dog. She helps him out of the hole. She takes the cone from him. + +"Bad dog, bad dog," she says. "You should not take things that are not yours." + +The dog looks at mom. He knows he did wrong. He hangs his head and whines. + +Mom goes back to the bench with the cone. She gives it to Anna. + +"Here you go, sweetie," she says. "I got your cone back." + +Anna looks at the cone. It is dirty and messy and has dog hair on it. + +"Yuck!" she says. "I do not want this cone anymore." + +Mom looks at the cone. She agrees. It is not good to eat. + +"I am sorry, Anna," she says. "How about we get you a new cone?" + +Anna nods and smiles. She likes that idea. + +Mom takes Anna and Ben to the truck again. She asks the man for another cone. The man is nice and gives them one for free. He says he is sorry for the trouble. + +Anna gets a new cone. It is yellow and has white ice cream on top. It is clean and neat and yummy. + +Anna and Ben lick their cones. They are happy again. They thank the man and mom. They hug mom and each other. + +They learn a lesson. They learn to watch their cones and to share with others. They also learn that dogs like ice cream too. +Sara and Ben were brother and sister. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big castle made of sand. It had towers and walls and flags. + +"Wow, look at that castle!" Sara said. "Can we play with it?" + +Ben nodded. He ran to the castle and picked up a flag. He waved it in the air and said, "I am the king of the castle!" + +Sara followed him and grabbed another flag. She said, "I am the queen of the castle!" + +They had fun pretending to be king and queen. They made rules and gave orders. They laughed and sang. + +But then, a lazy dog came to the park. He saw the castle and thought it was a good place to sleep. He walked to the castle and lay down on it. He did not care that he was breaking the sand. + +"Hey, go away, dog!" Ben shouted. "You are ruining our castle!" + +"Shoo, shoo, dog!" Sara said. "You are not welcome here!" + +But the dog did not listen. He closed his eyes and snored. He was too lazy to move. + +Sara and Ben were sad and angry. They tried to push the dog away, but he was too big and heavy. They looked for help, but no one was around. + +They decided to make a new castle. They walked to another spot and found more sand. They worked hard and built a better castle. It had more towers and walls and flags. + +They were happy again. They played and pretended. They forgot about the lazy dog. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They run to the slide. But there is a problem. There is only one seat on the slide. And there is a boy on the seat. He is not moving. He is holding a silver toy. Anna and Ben do not know the boy. He is unknown. + +"Hello," Anna says to the boy. "Can we play with you? Can we go on the slide?" + +The boy does not answer. He does not look at Anna. He only looks at his silver toy. + +"Please," Ben says to the boy. "We want to have fun. Can you share the seat?" + +The boy does not answer. He does not look at Ben. He only looks at his silver toy. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They do not like the boy. He is not nice. He is not friendly. He does not share. + +They look around. They see another slide. It is smaller. But it has two seats. And it has no one on it. + +"Come on," Anna says to Ben. "Let's go to the other slide. We can play together. We can have fun." + +"OK," Ben says to Anna. "Let's go. We do not need the big slide. We do not need the silver toy. We do not need the unknown boy." + +They run to the other slide. They take turns on the seats. They slide down. They laugh. They are happy. They are friends. +Lila was a princess who lived in a big palace. She liked to play with her dolls and dress up in pretty clothes. One day, she saw a new doll in the market. It had long hair and a blue dress. Lila wanted to buy it, but she did not have any money. + +She asked her father, the king, if he could give her some money. He said, "No, Lila. You have enough dolls already. You should be happy with what you have. And you should be polite to the people who work in the palace. They carry your food and clothes and toys every day. They work very hard for you." + +Lila was sad and angry. She did not think she had enough dolls. She did not want to be polite to the people who work in the palace. She wanted the new doll. She decided to sneak out of the palace and go to the market. She took a basket and put some of her old dolls in it. She thought she could trade them for the new doll. + +She walked to the market and looked for the stall where the new doll was. She saw a woman who sold dolls. She said, "Hello, I like your doll. Can I have it? I can give you some of my dolls. They are very nice." + +The woman looked at Lila and her basket. She said, "No, thank you. I don't want your dolls. They are old and dirty. And you are a rude little girl. You should not take things that are not yours. You should go back to your palace and learn some manners." + +Lila was shocked and ashamed. She realized that she had been wrong. She had been greedy and ungrateful. She had been rude and dishonest. She felt sorry for the woman and the people who work in the palace. She said, "I'm sorry, ma'am. You are right. I should not have taken my dolls. I should have asked my father first. And I should have been polite to you and everyone else. Please forgive me." + +The woman smiled and said, "It's okay, child. I forgive you. You have learned a valuable lesson today. You should be happy with what you have and be kind to others. Here, take this doll. It is a gift from me. But promise me that you will carry it with care and love. And that you will be polite to everyone you meet." + +Lila hugged the woman and thanked her. She took the doll and carried it with care and love. She walked back to the palace and apologized to her father and the people who work there. She told them what happened and how she changed. They were proud of her and happy for her. Lila was happy too. She had a new doll and a new attitude. She learned to be polite and grateful. And she lived happily ever after. +Anna liked to watch the doves in the park. They were white and soft and made nice sounds. She wanted to be friends with them, but they always flew away when she came close. One day, she saw a dove on the ground that did not fly away. It looked upset and hurt. Anna went to the dove and said, "Hello, dove. Why are you upset? Do you need help?" + +The dove looked at Anna and said, "Hello, Anna. I am upset because I hurt my wing. I cannot fly with the other doves. They left me here alone. I am sad and scared." + +Anna felt sorry for the dove. She said, "I can help you, dove. I can take you to my home and make you feel better. I have a cage and some seeds and water. You can stay with me until your wing is well. Then you can fly again. Do you want to come with me?" + +The dove nodded and said, "Yes, Anna. I want to come with you. You are very kind and brave. I understand that you want to be my friend. Thank you for helping me." + +Anna smiled and gently picked up the dove. She carried it to her home and put it in the cage. She gave it some seeds and water and a soft cloth to rest on. She said, "You are welcome, dove. I am happy to be your friend. I hope you will feel better soon. I will take good care of you." + +The dove cooed and said, "You are a good friend, Anna. I feel better already. I hope we can fly together someday." + +Anna and the dove became good friends. They talked and played and learned from each other. Anna understood the dove and the dove understood Anna. They were both happy. +Ben and Mia were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were mighty heroes who could move the furniture with their magic powers. They pushed the chairs and the table and made a big fort. + +"Look, I can lift this sofa with one hand!" Ben said, trying to lift the sofa cushion. + +"No, you can't, that's too heavy!" Mia said, laughing. "You need my help!" + +They both grabbed the cushion and lifted it together. They put it on top of the fort and smiled. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was Mom, coming home from work. She opened the door and saw the mess in the living room. + +"Ben! Mia! What have you done?" Mom asked, looking angry. + +Ben and Mia looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They shrugged their shoulders and hoped Mom would not be too mad. + +"Sorry, Mom, we were just playing," Ben said. + +"We were mighty heroes, Mom, we moved the furniture with our magic powers," Mia said. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She was tired and hungry, but she also loved her children. She smiled and hugged them. + +"I'm glad you have fun, but you also have to clean up after yourselves," Mom said. "How about we make some dinner and then we put the furniture back where it belongs?" + +"Okay, Mom, that sounds good," Ben and Mia said. + +They followed Mom to the kitchen and helped her make some pasta and salad. They ate and talked about their day. Then they went back to the living room and moved the furniture back to its place. They were still mighty heroes, but they also listened to Mom. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food for their toys. Ben had a big tray with plates and cups and spoons. Lily had a small tray with cookies and fruits and juice. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go serve our guests!" Ben said. He picked up his big tray and walked to the living room. Lily tried to pick up her small tray, but it was too heavy for her. She dropped it and the cookies and fruits and juice spilled on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "My tray is broken and my food is gone!" + +Ben heard Lily and came back to the kitchen. He saw the mess and felt sorry for Lily. He put down his big tray and hugged Lily. + +"It's okay, Lily, don't cry. We can share my tray and my food. You can have half of everything. That's fair, right?" Ben said. + +Lily nodded and smiled. She wiped her tears and hugged Ben back. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are very nice. That's fair, yes. Can I help you carry your tray?" Lily said. + +"Sure, Lily, you can help me. Let's go together. Follow me!" Ben said. + +They both held the big tray and walked to the living room. They served their toys and had a fun tea party. They were happy and proud of their food. They were good chefs and good friends. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play outside in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They feel happy and strong. + +One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. It looks like a rainbow. They want to touch it. + +"Look, Anna, a balloon!" Tom says. + +"Wow, Tom, it is so pretty!" Anna says. + +They run to the balloon. But it is too high. They cannot reach it. + +They try to jump. But they are too short. They cannot touch it. + +They try to stretch. But they are not elastic. They cannot grab it. + +They feel sad and frustrated. + +A man comes to the balloon. He has a basket and a rope. He is the balloon man. + +"Hello, kids, do you like my balloon?" he says. + +"Yes, sir, we love it!" Tom and Anna say. + +"Do you want to ride it?" he says. + +"Yes, sir, we do!" Tom and Anna say. + +"OK, then, come with me. It is cheap today. Only five coins for each kid," he says. + +Tom and Anna are excited. They have five coins each. They give them to the balloon man. He helps them into the basket. He unties the rope. He turns on a fire. The fire makes the balloon go up. + +"Wow, we are flying!" Tom and Anna say. + +They see the park and the trees and the houses. They see the birds and the clouds and the sun. They feel happy and amazed. + +The balloon man smiles. He says, "This is oxygen. It is what we breathe. It is what makes the balloon go up. It is very important." + +Tom and Anna nod. They learn a new word. They say, "Oxygen." + +They enjoy the ride. They thank the balloon man. They make a new friend. They have a great day. +Sam and Lily were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. They had a big loop of track that they could put their cars on and watch them go round and round. + +"Look, Lily, my car is faster than yours!" Sam said, as he pushed his red car on the loop. + +"No, it's not, Sam, my car is better than yours!" Lily said, as she pushed her blue car on the loop. + +They both wanted to win, so they pushed their cars harder and harder. But then, something bad happened. Their cars bumped into each other on the loop and flew off the track. They landed on the floor with a loud bang. + +"Oh no, our cars!" Sam and Lily cried. They ran to pick them up, but they saw that their cars were broken. The wheels and the doors and the windows were all loose and bent. + +They felt very sad and angry. They blamed each other for the crash. + +"It's your fault, Sam, you pushed your car too hard!" Lily said. + +"No, it's your fault, Lily, you pushed your car too wrong!" Sam said. + +They started to shout and fight. They did not want to play together anymore. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken cars and the angry children. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +"Sam broke my car!" Lily said. + +"Lily broke my car!" Sam said. + +Mom sighed. She knew they both loved their cars and did not mean to break them. She picked up the cars and looked at them. + +"Don't worry, kids, I can fix your cars," she said. "But you have to stop fighting and say sorry to each other. It was an accident, and accidents happen sometimes. You are both good kids, and you should be kind and share your toys. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Lily nodded. They felt sorry for being mean to each other. They hugged and said sorry. + +"Thank you, mom, you are the best!" they said. + +Mom smiled. She was glad they made up. She took the cars to the table and got some glue and tape. She fixed the wheels and the doors and the windows. She made the cars look like new again. + +She gave the cars back to Sam and Lily. They were very happy to see their cars fixed. They thanked mom again and gave her a big kiss. + +They decided to play with their cars again, but this time, they played nicely. They took turns on the loop and cheered for each other. They had fun and laughed. + +Mom watched them and felt proud. She knew they were dependable kids, and they would always love each other. She shut the door and let them play. +Sara and Ben were very excited. They were going to the park with Mom and Dad. They packed some snacks, water, and a big tube. The tube was thin and long, and it could make funny noises when you blew into it. + +They got in the car and drove to the park. It was a sunny day, and the park had many trees, flowers, and birds. Sara and Ben saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They wanted to play with everything. + +"Can we play with the tube first?" Sara asked Mom. + +"Sure, honey. But be careful, don't blow too hard or it might break," Mom said. + +Sara and Ben took the tube and ran to the slide. They took turns sliding down with the tube. They laughed and squealed as they felt the wind in their hair and the tube in their hands. + +"Let me try!" Ben said, grabbing the tube from Sara. + +He climbed up the slide and put the tube in his mouth. He blew as hard as he could, hoping to make a loud noise. But instead of a noise, he heard a pop. The tube burst and air came out of it. Ben felt sad and scared. He had broken the tube. + +"Sara, I'm sorry, I broke the tube!" he cried. + +Sara ran up to him and hugged him. She saw the tube was torn and flat. + +"It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. We can still play with other things," she said. + +She took his hand and led him to the swing. They swung back and forth, feeling happy again. Mom and Dad smiled and watched them. They were proud of Sara and Ben for being kind and forgiving. They knew they had a lot of fun ahead of them. +Lily and Ben were at the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They liked the birds the most, because they had colorful feathers and made funny noises. + +"Look, mom, that bird is dancing!" Lily said, pointing at a parrot in a cage. The parrot was bobbing its head and flapping its wings, as if it was listening to music. + +"Wow, it is dancing!" Ben said. "Can we dance too, mom?" + +"Sure, why not?" mom said, smiling. "Let's dance like the bird!" + +Lily and Ben started to dance next to the cage, copying the parrot's moves. They twisted and turned, jumped and spun, and laughed and shouted. The parrot seemed to like their dance, and joined them with more noises and gestures. + +They danced for a long time, until they felt dizzy. They stopped and sat on a bench, holding their heads. + +"Are you okay, kids?" mom asked, worried. + +"We are okay, mom, just dizzy," Lily said. + +"We danced too much, mom," Ben said. + +Mom gave them some water and a hug. "You did a great job, kids. You made the bird happy, and me too. But maybe next time, we can dance a little less, okay?" + +"Okay, mom," Lily and Ben said. They looked at the parrot, who was still in the cage, but looked happy too. They waved at it and said, "Bye, bye, bird. Thank you for dancing with us." The parrot waved back and said, "Bye, bye, kids. Thank you for dancing with me." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play chess. Chess is a game with black and white pieces. They move the pieces on a board with squares. Lily has a chess set at home. Ben does not have one. + +One day, Lily brings her chess set to Ben's house. They play chess in Ben's room. They have fun. Lily is good at chess. She wins most of the games. Ben is happy for Lily. He says, "You are very smart, Lily. I like to play chess with you." + +Lily says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. I like to play chess with you too. But I have to go home soon. Can I leave my chess set here? I will come back tomorrow and we can play again." + +Ben says, "Yes, of course. You can leave your chess set here. I will take good care of it. I will not lose any pieces. I will not break any pieces. I will put it in a safe place." + +Lily says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I will see you tomorrow." She hugs Ben and says goodbye. + +Ben puts the chess set in a box. He closes the box with a tight lid. He puts the box under his bed. He thinks, "I am lucky to have a friend like Lily. She trusts me with her chess set. I will not let her down. I will return it to her tomorrow." + +The next day, Lily comes back to Ben's house. She knocks on the door. Ben opens the door. He smiles and says, "Hello, Lily. I am glad you are here. Do you want to play chess?" + +Lily says, "Yes, I do. Where is my chess set?" + +Ben says, "It is under my bed. I will get it for you." He goes to his room. He pulls out the box. He opens the box. He gasps. He sees that the chess set is gone. There are only some crumbs and a hole in the box. He thinks, "Oh no! A mouse ate the chess set. How did this happen? What will I tell Lily?" + +He runs back to the door. He sees Lily waiting. He feels sad and sorry. He says, "Lily, I have bad news. Your chess set is gone. A mouse ate it. I am so sorry. I did not mean to lose it. I did not mean to break it. I wanted to return it to you. Please forgive me." + +Lily looks at Ben. She sees that he is telling the truth. She sees that he is sorry. She feels sad too. She says, "Ben, I am sad that my chess set is gone. I liked it very much. But I am not angry with you. I know you did not do it on purpose. I know you tried to take good care of it. I know you wanted to return it to me. You are still my friend. I forgive you." + +Ben hugs Lily. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. You are still my friend too. I am sorry for your loss. I will try to make it up to you. Maybe we can find another chess set. Maybe we can play another game. Maybe we can have fun again." + +Lily smiles. She says, "Yes, Ben. We can do that. We can still have fun. We can still play. We can still be friends." + +The moral of the story is: Friendship is more important than things. Things can be lost or broken, but friends can be forgiven and trusted. Friends should be honest and kind to each other. Friends should share and return what they borrow. Friends should have fun and learn together. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, Tim has great news. He tells Sam on the phone. + +"Sam, I have great news! I can stand on one leg for a long time. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, Tim, I want to see. Come to my house. We can play and you can show me." + +Tim is happy. He puts on his shoes and coat. He runs to Sam's house. He rings the bell. Sam opens the door. + +"Hi, Tim. Come in. Show me your great news." + +Tim goes in. He puts down his coat. He stands on one leg. He smiles. + +"Look, Sam. I can stand on one leg. One, two, three, four, five..." + +Sam is amazed. He claps his hands. + +"Wow, Tim. You can stand on one leg for a long time. You are very good. Can I try?" + +Tim nods. He puts down his leg. He lets Sam try. Sam stands on one leg. He counts. + +"One, two, three..." + +But then, something bad happens. A big dog runs into the house. It barks. It jumps. It knocks Sam down. Sam falls. He hits his head. He cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow. My head hurts. Go away, dog. Go away." + +Tim is scared. He runs to Sam. He tries to help him. He shouts. + +"Sam, Sam, are you okay? Bad dog, bad dog. Leave us alone." + +But the dog does not listen. It bites Tim's leg. Tim screams. He bleeds. He cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow. My leg hurts. Help, help. Someone help us." + +The dog runs away. Tim and Sam are hurt. They are sad. They are not happy. They have no great news. They have bad news. They need a doctor. They need a hug. They need a friend. +Lily likes to sing. She sings when she wakes up, when she eats, when she plays, and when she goes to bed. She sings loud and happy songs that make her feel good. + +One day, Lily goes to yoga with her mom. Yoga is when you move your body in different ways and breathe slowly. Lily thinks yoga is fun, but she does not know the songs that the other people sing. They sing soft and calm songs that sound different from her songs. + +Lily wants to sing too, but she is shy. She asks her mom, "Can I sing my songs in yoga?" + +Her mom smiles and says, "You can sing your songs in your head, but not out loud. Yoga is a time to be quiet and listen to your body and your heart. The other people sing their songs to help them do that. You can learn their songs if you want, but you have to be humble and respectful." + +Lily nods and tries to sing her songs in her head. She also listens to the other songs and tries to learn them. She likes some of them, and some of them are hard to remember. She thinks that maybe she can sing them with her mom at home later. + +Lily learns that singing can be loud and happy, or soft and calm. She learns that singing can help her feel good in different ways. She learns that singing can be humble and respectful, or fun and playful. She learns that singing is a gift that she can share with others, or keep for herself. She loves to sing. +Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new places. One day, she saw a big hole in the ground near her house. She wondered what was inside the hole. She wanted to invite her friend Ben to join her, but he was afraid of holes. + +"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" Lily said. "Maybe we will find treasure or animals or something cool." + +"No, thank you, Lily. I don't like holes. They are dark and scary and dirty. I'd rather play with my ball," Ben said. + +Lily was sad that Ben did not want to come with her, but she decided to go anyway. She took a flashlight and a rope and walked to the hole. She tied the rope to a tree and lowered herself into the hole. She turned on the flashlight and looked around. + +She saw that the hole was not just a hole, but a pit. A pit full of bones and skulls and teeth. She realized that the pit was a trap for animals, and that she had fallen into it. She screamed and tried to climb back up, but the rope was too slippery and the walls were too steep. + +She heard a growl from the other side of the pit. She shone the flashlight and saw a big, hairy, angry bear. The bear had been sleeping in the pit, and now it was awake and hungry. It saw Lily and started to run towards her. + +Lily was very scared and wished she had listened to Ben. She wished he was there to help her. She wished she had never gone into the hole. She wished she had played with the ball instead. +Tommy was a spoiled boy who always wanted new toys. He did not like to share or play with his old toys. He threw them away or broke them when he was bored. + +One day, his mom took him to the toy store in a taxi. She wanted to buy him a present for his birthday. Tommy saw a big red truck that he liked. He grabbed it and said, "I want this, I want this!" + +His mom said, "Okay, you can have it, but you have to replace one of your old toys. You have too many toys at home, and some other kids have none. You can give one of your old toys to the charity box at the store." + +Tommy did not like this idea. He said, "No, no, no! I want to keep all my toys. They are mine, mine, mine!" + +His mom said, "That's not nice, Tommy. You should be grateful for what you have and share with others. If you don't replace one of your old toys, you can't have the new truck." + +Tommy threw a tantrum. He kicked and screamed and cried. He dropped the truck on the floor and ran out of the store. His mom followed him and tried to calm him down. She said, "Tommy, stop it. You are making a scene. Come on, let's go back to the taxi and go home." + +But Tommy did not listen. He ran away from his mom and into the street. He did not see the car that was coming fast. He heard a loud honk and then a crash. He felt a sharp pain in his leg and then everything went black. + +When he woke up, he was in a hospital bed. His mom was by his side, holding his hand. She looked sad and worried. She said, "Tommy, I'm so sorry. You were hit by a car. You broke your leg and you have to stay here for a while. The doctor said you will be okay, but you have to be brave and strong." + +Tommy felt scared and sorry. He said, "Mom, I'm sorry too. I was bad. I was spoiled. I did not listen to you. I did not want to replace my old toy. I was selfish. I'm sorry, mom. I love you." + +His mom hugged him and said, "I love you too, Tommy. I'm glad you are alive. I forgive you, but you have to learn from this. You have to be more careful and more kind. You have to appreciate what you have and share with others. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will try to be better. Can I have the big red truck now?" + +His mom smiled and said, "Maybe later, Tommy. Maybe later." +Tim and Sue wanted to make a pumpkin pie for their mom. They went to the farm to buy a pumpkin. They saw many pumpkins, but they wanted the largest one. They found a large pumpkin that was bigger than their heads. + +"Can we have this pumpkin, please?" Tim asked the farmer. + +The farmer smiled and said, "Sure, you can have it. But it is very heavy. You will need a cart to carry it." + +Tim and Sue did not have a cart. They tried to lift the pumpkin, but it was too hard. They could not move it. + +"Maybe we should choose a smaller pumpkin," Sue said. + +But Tim did not want to give up. He said, "No, we want this one. It is the best pumpkin for our pie. We can drag it to our home." + +Tim and Sue started to drag the pumpkin on the ground. It was very slow and tiring. They scraped the pumpkin and made it dirty. They also made a mess on the road. They did not notice the other people and animals who were trying to pass by. They bumped into them and made them angry. + +"Hey, watch out!" a man shouted. + +"Ouch, you hurt me!" a dog barked. + +"Sorry, sorry," Tim and Sue said. But they did not stop dragging the pumpkin. + +They finally reached their home. They were very happy. They knocked on the door and said, "Mom, look what we have! A large pumpkin for our pie!" + +Mom opened the door and saw the pumpkin. She was not happy. She said, "What have you done? This pumpkin is too big for our oven. And it is all scratched and dirty. And why did you drag it on the ground? You have been rude and selfish. You did not think of the farmer who supplied you the pumpkin, or the other people and animals who shared the road with you. You only thought of yourselves. That is not how you make a pumpkin pie. That is how you make a pumpkin mess." + +Tim and Sue felt ashamed. They realized they had made a mistake. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to make you happy, but we did not think of others. We were greedy and foolish. Can we fix it?" + +Mom sighed and said, "Well, you can start by apologizing to the farmer and the others you have annoyed. Then you can clean the pumpkin and cut it into smaller pieces. Maybe we can still make a small pie with some of it. But you have to learn to be grateful and respectful. A large pumpkin is not always better than a small one. It is what you do with it that matters." + +Tim and Sue nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We have learned our lesson. Thank you for teaching us. We love you." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too. Now let's go and make things right." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a ride. The ride looks like a jungle. It has trees, flowers, and animals. + +Lily and Tom want to ride the jungle ride. They run to the line. But the line is very long. There are many kids waiting for their turn. Lily and Tom have to be patient. + +"Can we go now?" Lily asks her mom. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for our turn. See the numbers? They tell us when we can go." Mom says. + +Lily and Tom look at the numbers. They are small. They have to wait for them to get big. + +Tom sees a monkey on the ride. He likes monkeys. He points to the monkey and says, "Look, Lily! A monkey! I want to see the monkey!" + +"Me too!" Lily says. "Maybe we can wave to the monkey when we ride." + +They watch the monkey swing from a tree. They smile and laugh. They forget about the numbers. They are having fun. + +Soon, the numbers get big. It is their turn to ride. Lily and Tom run to the ride. They put on their seat belts. They are excited. + +The ride starts. It goes around the jungle. Lily and Tom see the monkey. They wave to the monkey. The monkey waves back. They see other animals too. They see a lion, a zebra, and a parrot. They say hello to the animals. The animals say hello back. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They like the jungle ride. They thank their moms for taking them to the park. They hug their moms. They are good friends. +Lily and Tom were twins who loved to watch TV. They liked to see funny animals, bright colors and songs. Every day, they would sit on the sofa and hold the remote. They would take turns to choose what to watch. + +One day, they saw an ad for a new show. It was called "Brilliant Balloons". It had big balloons of different shapes and colors that flew in the sky. The ad said the show would start tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Lily and Tom were very excited. They wanted to see the brilliant balloons. + +The next day, they woke up early and ran to the living room. They turned on the TV and looked for the show. But they could not find it. They tried all the channels, but they only saw news, sports and boring shows. They were very sad and confused. + +"Where are the brilliant balloons?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe they are on another channel." Tom said. + +They kept looking, but they had no luck. They started to cry. They felt like they had been tricked. + +Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. They wiped their tears and went to see who it was. It was their mom. She had a big smile on her face and a surprise in her hands. She had two tickets to the balloon festival. + +"Guess what, kids? I have a special treat for you. We are going to see the brilliant balloons in real life!" she said. + +Lily and Tom could not believe their ears. They jumped with joy and hugged their mom. They forgot about the TV and the show. They grabbed their coats and ran to the car. They were going to have the best day ever. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with ducks and fish. Lila and Ben want to swim in the pond. + +"Can we swim, please?" Lila asks her mom. + +"No, you can't. The pond is dirty and deep. You can watch the ducks and fish, but don't go near the water," her mom says. + +Lila and Ben are sad. They think it is not fair. They want to have fun in the water. They wait until her mom is busy talking on the phone. Then they sneak to the pond. + +They take off their shoes and socks. They dip their toes in the water. It feels cold and slimy. They notice a big fish swimming near them. It has shiny scales and a long tail. + +"Wow, look at that fish! It is so pretty!" Lila says. + +"Let's catch it!" Ben says. + +They reach out their hands to grab the fish. But the fish is fast and smart. It swims away from them. It splashes water in their faces. Lila and Ben lose their balance. They fall into the pond. + +They scream and cry. The water is dirty and deep. They can't swim. They can't breathe. They can't see. They can't hear. They can't feel. They are gone. + +Her mom hears their screams. She runs to the pond. She sees their shoes and socks on the edge. She sees bubbles and ripples on the surface. She sees the big fish swimming away. She knows it is too late. She falls to her knees. She cries and cries. She can't believe it. She can't forgive herself. She can't live without them. She is broken. +Sara and Ben like to play school. Sara is the teacher and Ben is the student. Sara has a big board and some chalk. She writes some questions on the board with the chalk. The chalk is smooth and white. + +"Ben, can you answer the questions?" Sara asks. She points to the board. "What is two plus two? What is the color of the sky? What is the name of this animal?" She draws a cat with the chalk. + +Ben thinks hard. He picks up a piece of chalk and goes to the board. He writes "4" under the first question. He writes "blue" under the second question. He writes "cat" under the third question. He smiles. He likes to answer the questions. + +"Very good, Ben!" Sara says. She claps her hands. "You are a smart student. You get a star." She draws a star with the chalk next to Ben's name. Ben is happy. He likes to get a star. + +They play some more. Sara writes more questions and Ben answers them. They have fun with the chalk and the board. They learn new things. They are good friends. +Lily was very happy. She had a new friend at school. His name was Ben. He was nice and funny. He liked to play with cars and blocks. Lily liked to play with dolls and books. They had fun together. + +One day, Ben brought a big bag of candy to school. He wanted to share it with Lily. He said, "Lily, I have something for you. It is candy. It is delicious. Do you want some?" Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Ben. You are very kind." + +Ben opened the bag and gave Lily some candy. Lily took a bite and said, "Mmm, this is very good. What is it?" Ben said, "It is chocolate. It is my favorite. Do you like it?" Lily said, "Yes, I like it very much. It is sweet and creamy." + +They ate more candy and talked and laughed. They did not notice that the teacher was watching them. The teacher did not like that they were eating candy in class. She said, "Ben, Lily, what are you doing? You know you are not allowed to eat candy in class. It is bad for your teeth and your health. Give me the candy right now." + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not want to get in trouble. They gave the teacher the candy. The teacher said, "You should not bring candy to school. You should eat healthy food like fruits and vegetables. They are good for you. They make you strong and smart. Candy makes you sick and tired. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "We are sorry, teacher. We did not know. We will not do it again." The teacher said, "I hope so. Now, go back to your seats and finish your work. And next time, if you want to share something with your friend, bring something healthy and nutritious." + +Ben and Lily learned their lesson. They realized that candy was not a good thing to share. They decided to bring apples and bananas instead. They still liked each other and played together. They also felt better and happier. They thanked the teacher for teaching them. They introduced their healthy snacks to their other friends. They all enjoyed them and said they were delicious. +Lily and Tom are playing in their room. They have a big scale that can weigh things. They like to put different toys on the scale and see how heavy they are. + +"Look, Tom, this bear is very heavy!" Lily says, holding a big, fluffy bear. "It makes the scale go down a lot!" + +"Let me see!" Tom says, taking the bear from Lily. He puts it on the scale and watches the needle move. "Wow, you are right! The bear is heavier than the car and the ball!" + +They take turns weighing different toys and comparing them. They have fun seeing how the scale changes. + +Then, Lily has an idea. She opens a drawer in their dresser and takes out a black hat. It is their dad's hat. He wears it when he goes to work. + +"Tom, look at this!" Lily says, holding the hat. "Do you think it is heavy or light?" + +Tom shrugs. "I don't know. Maybe light?" + +"Let's find out!" Lily says, running to the scale. She puts the hat on the scale and waits. + +But nothing happens. The scale does not move at all. The hat is too light to weigh. + +Lily and Tom are confused. They look at the hat and the scale. + +"Why is the hat not heavy?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is magic?" + +They giggle and try to weigh the hat again. But it still does not work. + +They hear their mom calling them for lunch. They put the hat back in the drawer and run to the kitchen. + +They forget about the hat and the scale. But they do not know that the hat is not really magic. It is just very old and has a hole in it. And inside the hole, there is a feather. A very light feather that makes the hat weigh nothing. +Lily likes to collect things. She has a big box of things she finds in the park, in the street, and in her house. She has rocks, leaves, buttons, shells, and stickers. She likes to look at them and sort them by color, shape, and size. + +One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom and dad. She sees a man with a big truck. He has a noisy job. He collects the trash from the bins and puts it in the truck. He wears gloves and a hat. He smiles at Lily and says hello. + +Lily wants to help him. She asks her mom and dad if she can. They say yes, but she has to be careful and listen to the man. Lily is happy. She runs to the man and says she wants to collect trash too. The man laughs and gives her a small bag. He tells her to only pick up things that are safe and clean. + +Lily follows the man and collects trash. She finds paper, cans, bottles, and wrappers. She puts them in the bag. She feels like she has an important job. She likes the noise of the truck and the man's voice. She thinks he is nice and funny. + +When the bag is full, the man helps her put it in the truck. He thanks her for her help and gives her a sticker. It has a picture of a truck and says "I helped collect trash today". Lily is proud. She sticks it on her shirt and shows it to her mom and dad. They hug her and tell her she did a good job. Lily smiles and says she likes to collect things. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She was walking with her mommy when they saw a big, yellow taxi. The taxi was so powerful that it made a loud noise. + +Lily asked her mommy, "What's that noise?" + +"It's the taxi's engine," her mommy replied. + +Suddenly, the taxi driver started to panic. "Oh no! I forgot my wallet at home!" he said. + +Lily's mommy saw that the taxi driver was worried, so she offered to pay for the ride. The taxi driver was very grateful and thanked them. + +Lily and her mommy got into the taxi and went on a fun adventure. They saw lots of buildings and people walking around. Lily felt happy that they could help the taxi driver and go on a fun ride. +Once upon a time, there was a caterpillar. The caterpillar was very hungry and wanted to find some food. He crawled and crawled until he found a big, green leaf. The leaf was dry and crunchy, but the caterpillar didn't mind. He ate and ate until he was full. + +Suddenly, a little girl saw the caterpillar and said, "Hello, little caterpillar! Where are you going?" + +The caterpillar replied, "I am not sure. I am just crawling around. Do you want to come with me?" + +The little girl smiled and said, "Yes, I would love to come with you and lead the way!" And so, the caterpillar and the little girl became friends and went on many adventures together. +Once upon a time, there was a kind boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to share his toys with his friends. One day, Timmy's friend Billy came over to play. Timmy set out all his toys for Billy to play with. + +But Billy was not generous like Timmy. He wanted all the toys for himself and didn't want to share. This made Timmy sad. + +Timmy thought of a word to say to Billy to make him understand how important it is to share. He said, "Sharing is fun!" + +Billy thought about what Timmy said and realized he was right. From that day on, Billy became more generous and they both had fun playing together with all the toys. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. Lily loved to play with her toys and run around outside. One day, she saw a beautiful rose in her garden. It was red and smelled very nice. + +Lily's mom came outside and saw her daughter looking at the rose. "What a lovely flower," she said. "It was gifted to us by our neighbor." + +Lily smiled and said, "I like it. It makes me feel relaxed." + +Her mom smiled back and said, "Yes, flowers have a way of doing that. They are very special." The two of them sat outside and enjoyed the rose together, feeling happy and calm. +Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Benny. Benny loved to eat dessert, especially carrot cake. One day, he woke up feeling very lonely. He looked around and saw that all his friends were gone. Benny decided to go on an adventure to find his friends. + +As he hopped along, Benny saw a big chocolate cake. He thought it looked delicious, but he knew he had to find his friends first. Suddenly, he heard a noise and saw his friends playing in a nearby field. Benny was so happy to see them! They all hugged and played together. + +After playing for a while, Benny's friends surprised him with a carrot cake for dessert. Benny was so happy and felt less lonely. He realized that having friends was more important than any dessert. From that day on, Benny made sure to spend time with his friends every day. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play with his toys and talk on his phone. One day, Timmy's mom asked him to clean up his toys. Timmy didn't want to clean up, so he put all of his toys in a big sack and hid them under his bed. + +Later that day, Timmy's friend came over to play. They talked on the phone and played games. Timmy's friend asked him if he wanted to go to the park, but Timmy said no because he wanted to keep playing with his toys. + +The next day, Timmy's mom found the sack of toys under his bed. She was very bitter because Timmy didn't listen to her. She took away his phone and told him he couldn't play with his toys for a week. + +Timmy was very sad and missed his toys and phone. He realized that he should have listened to his mom and cleaned up his toys. From then on, Timmy always listened to his mom and cleaned up his toys. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. Lily liked to play with her toys and go outside to play. One day, Lily's mom suggested that she should go to the doctor for an exam. Lily didn't want to go to the doctor because she was scared. + +But her mom said it was important to be honest with the doctor so they could help her stay healthy.

Every day, he would tell her stories and take her for special outings. One day, he decided to take her to the zoo. + +After arriving, they started walking around, looking at the different animals. Daddy was talking excitedly, pointing out different animals to her. But then, he saw something that made him laugh. + +Daddy: "Look! Do you see that?" + +Daughter: "What?" + +Mommy: "It's a zebra! Look at how fast he's zipping around!" + +The daughter's eyes lit up with excitement. She pointed and jumped up and down, wanting to run over and touch it. Daddy quickly grabbed her! + +Daddy: "Whoa! That's too crazy for us. Let's watch from here." + +The daughter smiled and nodded. Daddy hugged her and said, "Let's go find more animals." + +The two spent the rest of the day exploring the zoo and watching the different animals. Everywhere they went, the daughter would spot something moving and point and say, "Daddy, look - it's zipping!" Daddy would laugh and they would keep exploring. + +At the end of the day, they went home. The daughter was exhausted but happy. She waved goodbye to the zoo and said, "Bye, zip!" +Once upon a time, there was a girl who lived in a big, busy city. She liked to go for walks along the street, looking at all the hustle and bustle. + +One day on her walk, she saw a store with a dress in the window. It had a shiny blue skirt that went around the waist and a white top with lace. The girl wanted the dress, so she decided to go into the store. + +As she looked around, she soon found the dress in her size. The girl was delighted! She quickly paid for it with her pocket money, then put the dress on. + +The girl was so happy that it fit perfectly, but she noticed it was a bit too long. Without hesitation, she took it back to the store and asked the storekeeper to cut the bottom of the skirt. The storekeeper was very busy but he was happy to oblige. With one chop of his scissors, he cut the skirt to the perfect size! +Once upon a time there was a little fish. The fish was thin and the fish liked to swim. The fish saw the beautiful nature in the ocean. The fish saw “Look at all the beautiful things around me!†+ +Then, the fish saw a big fish with blue and green scales. +The big fish said “Do you want to swim with me?†+ +The little fish hesitated but then said “Yes, let's go swim!†+ +The two fish swam around the ocean, exploring all the plants and animals around them. They were so happy and kept swimming, admiring the nature. They had lots of fun and were so contented. + +Eventually, the little fish said “Thank you for swimming with me! See you soon!†+ +And the big fish waved goodbye and swam away. The little fish smiled and kept swimming, feeling lucky to have seen such beautiful nature in the ocean. +The sun was setting. It was a beautiful evening in the west, the sky filled with colours. But something else was in the sky, something far bigger than the beautiful colours. It was an enormous black cloud. + +The black cloud flew closer and closer to the ground, revealing what it was. It was a giant dragon! Its wings were so huge, it blocked out the sun. People were scared and ran for their lives. + +The dragon flew over the forest, blowing flames everywhere. It destroyed homes, businesses, and the entire forest. Everything was in ruins. Even the sun had been hidden behind the enormous dragon. + +The people were devastated by the destruction. They had lost everything and the dragon was still making its way west. The town looked like a warzone and it didn't seem like the dragon had any plans of stopping. + +The dragon eventually made its way further west, leaving behind destruction and despair in its wake. People had lost everything, but one thing was clear: the dragon was now gone. +Jim just loved to play with his toy cars. Today he had been extra careful not to lose them. He was playing with his cars in the garden when he heard loud noises coming from the street. He looked up and saw a large police van. It had cut across the street and stopped in front of Jim's house. + +Jim felt anxious. He ran inside the house and told his mom. "Mom, why are the police here?" he asked. + +"I don't know sweetie," said his mom. "Stay here and I'll go find out." + +Mom went outside and spoke to the police. Jim stayed in the living room, listening to what they were saying. He heard his mom start to cry. She started yelling at the police. Then he heard them mention the words, "Ahmed and Candy." Jim knew that Ahmed was his dad, and Candy was his older sister. + +Jim was scared. He ran out the door and saw his dad and sister being put in the large police van. The police drove away and all Jim could do was watch his family, hoping for a better outcome. + +Jim started to cry.

He said, "Is this your letter?" + +Maria said, "Yes, this is my letter. Can you mail it for me?" + +The postman took the letter and looked it over. He said, "This is a very special letter. I'm going to add a white tip to it so it gets there even faster!" + +Maria thanked the postman, happy that her letter was going to arrive safely.

I felt so cozy and happy. + +Mommy taught me some simple poses. We did some standing poses and some balancing poses. I even said the names of the poses out loud! + +When we were done, I tucked my yoga mat away nicely because Mommy had taught me how to stay organized. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved sunset time. Every evening, she would follow the sun as it set and watch it go away until only pink and orange light filled the sky. + +One day, the little girl set out on an adventure. She tried her best to follow the sun, but it seemed to be setting faster than usual. She kept running, but the sun was just too fast for her. + +Suddenly, she heard a voice calling out from behind her. She looked back and saw an old man with a big smile on his face. "Little one, why don't you trust the sun?†he asked. The little girl was surprised, but somehow she knew deep down that the old man was honest. + +The little girl smiled too, and she smiled so big that it lit up the whole sky. “I want to follow the sun," she said. The old man nodded. + +The little girl followed the sun until nightfall, and all the while it was a wonderful adventure. She now knew that no matter how fast the sun set, she could still follow it and see beautiful things all along the way. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Lola. She was only three years old and she was always very worried. She was worried about the camera that her mum used to take pictures of her. + +One day, while they were playing together in the garden, Lola asked her mum what she was doing with the camera. Her mum said, "Oh, I'm making some nice pictures of you". + +But Lola was still worried. She asked her mum why the camera was making such ugly noises. Her mum smiled and said, "It's okay Lola, the camera isn't making any noise. It's just making pretty pictures of you!" + +Lola was so relieved and smiled. She stopped worrying and enjoyed playing in the garden. + +The end. +Henry was looking outside the window. It was very bright and green. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. + +Henry's mom said, "Henry, let's go march in the network". + Henry said, "What's that, mommy?". + +Mom said, "It's a special place in the park, with lots of people and flags. Come on, let's go!" + +Henry and his mom put on their shoes, grabbed the flags, and marched as a team. On their way to the network, they saw many people gathering in the green grass. + +When they arrived, the network was bustling and full of music, laughter and excited chatter. Henry marched with mom, waving the flags and feeling very proud. + +At the end of the march, Henry said, "Mommy, can we march again tomorrow?". + +Mom said, "Yes, we can.

Eddie looked at the mule and said, "Mama, I want to help!" +Mama smiled and said, "Okay, Eddie." She showed Eddie how to put everything away in order. +They filled a box with cans and buckets. Eddie looked at the mule and said, "What about him, Mama?" +Mama laughed. "No, Eddie. We can't organize the mule!" +They picked up tools and brushes and put them away in the shed. Soon the barn was organized. +Mama said, "Great job, Eddie! Now, the barn looks so much better." Eddie smiled and gave the mule a big hug. +Patty and Benny were walking down the street. It was cold outside and they were wearing their hats and mittens. Patty looked up at a big red mailbox and said, "I hate that mailbox!" Benny stopped and asked Patty why she didn't like it. Patty replied, "Because it's always empty and I never get any fun mail." Benny patted Patty on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll get something in the mail soon." + +They kept walking and eventually came upon their house. Patty put her hand to her chin and said, "I know what we can do! We can make a picture for the mailbox. That way, when the mailman comes, he can see a big picture instead of an empty mailbox." Benny smiled and said, "Let's do it! We'll find some nice colors and make a really big picture for the mailbox." + +So Patty and Benny raced into the house and found some crayons and paper. They worked together to make a bright and colorful picture. When they finished, they ran outside and taped the picture onto the mailbox. Patty smiled and said, "There! Now we won't be so sad when the mailbox is empty!" +Mommy was busy in the kitchen making something special. She had put on her apron and was humming a tune while she worked. + +"What are you preparing, Mommy?" asked Joe, who had just woken up from his nap. + +"I'm making you a delicious cake, Joe," Mommy replied. She smiled proudly as she stirred together all the ingredients she had found in the cabinet. + +Joe clapped his hands and said, "I can't wait for it! Can I help prepare it too? + +"I'd love the help, Joe," said Mommy. She stepped aside so Joe could reach the counter tops. + +The two of them prepared the cake together, chattered away and even laughed a few times. Finally, Mommy told Joe to go get the orange lamp from the living room. He ran as fast as he could and came back with the lamp in his hands. + +"Perfect!" said Mommy.

It's not serious that I need help with!" + +May looked confused and sad. She thought she was just doing a nice thing to help her mom. Then her mom sighed and hugged her tight. + +She said, "It's ok to help, May. It's just important to pick the right stuff for the job." + +May smiled and nodded.

He saw her leaning on a walking stick. + +The old lady said, “You should never judge someone just because they don’t look nice. If you really examine things closely you’ll be able to see they are much more than they seem.†+ +Jack thought about the old lady’s words, and put the match back on the ground. He knew that things were never what they seemed and that it was better not to judge other people. + +From that day on, he was always careful to take time to examine things closely and never jump to conclusions. +Once upon a time there was an elephant named Henry.

Whoever washed the most rocks will win, and get a score of points." + +The jellyfish asked if he could join in on the game. One crab said he could, but the other crab said he was too small, he wouldn't be able to score any points. + +The jellyfish didn't give up. With determination, he started to wash the rocks.

He was still very bored, so he decided to go home. +Once upon a time, there was a pretty little boat. She bobbed on the calm, empty sea, ever so patiently. One day, she spotted a strange oat floating towards her. It was so unusual that she just had to get a closer look. + +The boat bobbed over to the oat, and the oat said “Hello there, boat. I’m here to help you. But, I need something in exchange.†The boat was a little scared, and asked, “What is it you want?†The oat replied, “I need you to release me from my captivity. Then, I'll help you.†+ +The boat was unsure, so she thought carefully before she made her decision. Finally, she said “Okay, I will help you.†The oat was so thankful that he said, “You will never regret this decision. Just wait and see.†Then, he settled back in the water. + +The little boat was happy that she had helped the oat, and she was curious to see what he could do. She watched with anticipation as the oat floated away. It wasn’t long before the oat came back, with a magical surprise in tow. + +The oat had brought with him a grand, majestic sailboat. It was sparkling clean and ready to take the little boat on grand adventures. +John was very hungry. He went to see his mom because he needed something to eat. + +"Mom, I need something to eat," said John. + +His mom smiled. "I have some tasty food for you. Come over here," said his mom. + +He ran over to the kitchen table and saw a plate of sliced apples. + +"These apples look so tasty!" said John, his eyes wide with excitement. + +"Yes, they are very tasty. Eat them up, and don't worry. You don't need to be hungry," said his mom. + +John smiled and devoured the apples. They were so good! Now his tummy was full and he was happy. + +He leaned back and said, "No more worries." His mom hugged him and said, "That's my boy!" +Once upon a time there was a boy named Boy. He had a friend called True. One day they were going for a walk and Boy said, "Let's go to the beach!" But True shook his head and said, "No, let's go to the park instead". + +Boy insisted they go to the beach. He said, "The beach is much more fun than the park! There'll be sand and water and we can make sandcastles". But True shook his head again and said, "No, the park is more exciting - we can swing on the swings, feed the ducks and play tag". + +Boy kept on insisting that the beach was better. He eventually said, "I think the park is boring!" But True just smiled and said, "I think the beach is boring. I think the park is True!" + +Boy thought about this and after a few seconds he said, "You are True! OK, then let's go to the park!" So they went to the park and had a great time. They fed birds, played tag and even made a sandcastle in the park! +Once upon a time there was a little boy called Tom. Tom was playing in his garden when he saw something sparkling. He looked closer and saw a fairy flying by. +Tom said with excitement, "Hi fairy!" +The fairy looked at Tom with a bright smile and said, "Hi Tom, do you want to go on an adventure?" +Tom replied, "Yes, I do!" + +So Tom and the fairy set off together on Tom's adventure. They flew up in the sky and noticed a great lake below. The lake glistened in the sun and looked beautiful. The fairy said to Tom, "Let's drop some of this glistening water on your garden to make it even brighter!" + +Tom smiled and said, "Great idea!" +So Tom and the fairy dropped some of the glistening water on the garden and it sparkled in the sun. + +Tom was so amazed and said, "Wow, it looks so beautiful now!" +The fairy nodded and said, "Yes, and it is an important reminder. We should always think about how our actions can improve the world around us." + +Tom learnt a great lesson that day and realised that by just dropping a bit of water he could make the world a better place. +Once there was a very intelligent dog. His name was Rex. Every day he liked to take a long walk in the park. One day, Rex was playing hide and seek with a butterfly. Suddenly, it vanished! Rex wanted to find it. So he decided to ask his friend Mary, the bird. + +Mary said that there was a strange film in the sky and that it made everything vanish. Rex was very confused. He tried to find the butterfly but he couldn't see it anywhere. He decided to look at the strange film. It was very colorful and his eyes started to sparkle. + +Suddenly, the butterfly reappeared. It had been inside the film. Rex was very happy and he said, "Now I know why you are so intelligent, Butterfly. You can vanish and come back anytime you want!" +Yesterday, two unusual people united. +They were called Mummy and Daddy. +Mummy said to Daddy, “Do you want to unite with me?†+Daddy said, “Yes!†They hugged and smiled. + +Today, Mummy and Daddy are one family. +They have a baby girl called Hannah. +Hannah loves her Mummy and Daddy very much. + +Every day, Mummy and Daddy hug Hannah and say, “We are so glad to all be together. We are so glad we united yesterday.†+John was a reliable boy who loved to go on adventures in the nearby meadows. He noticed a strange herb growing by an old tree and thought it could be useful. He decided to harvest the herb and bring it home with him. + +When John got back home, he went straight to his father and showed him the herb. His father was pleased and thanked John for his hard work. He said the herb would make a special remedy for when John or his siblings felt sick. + +John was excited and could hardly wait to try the remedy. Unfortunately, days passed and no one fell sick. Finally, after many weeks, John's younger sister became ill and his father prepared the remedy. + +John couldn't believe it when his sister felt better after just one drink of the special remedy. He remembered with pride the herb he had surrendered to his father in the meadow. +Once upon a time, there were two brothers, Jake and Sam. Jake was very happy and loved to test things out, whereas Sam was a bit of a worrier. + +One day, Jake went to the local market and bought some meat. Sam watched from the window and was a bit scared, worried that he wouldn't be able to eat it. But when Jake brought it back to the house, he showed Sam that it was delicious. + +Sam was so happy that he wanted to test something else. He asked his brother to buy some more meat. But this time, Jake said "No". + +Jake explained that testing everything isn't always a good idea and that it's important to think before you act. Sam listened to his brother's advice and they ended up having a very happy dinner. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to use caution and think before you act. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl and her cat. The little girl's name was Anna and her cat was called Mittens. + +Anna and Mittens loved to play together. One day, Anna said to Mittens, "Let's have a dance contest. Whoever dances the best will get a prize!" + +Mittens was so excited that she started to dance right away. Her legs moved this way and that, and her tail swayed like a ribbon. She looked very clever. + +Anna smiled and clapped her hands. "You're the winner, Mittens!" she said. She gave Mittens a prize — a bag of tasty treats. + +Mittens purred with delight. She licked Anna's face and thanked her for the prize. Then the two friends danced together, all around the room. +Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved to explore. Every day she would go outside and discover something new. One day she came across some butter and got very excited! She had never seen butter before. She decided to take it home with her. + +When she arrived home she showed her family her discovery. Her parents were surprised to see the butter and asked her where she found it. She explained that she had discovered it on her little exploration. + +The family was curious to see what the butter tasted like so they decided to have a competition. They each decided to make something using the butter and see who could make the best dish. All of the family members took turns making something with the butter and then judged each other's creations. + +In the end, the little girl won the competition! Everyone was so proud of her for finding the butter and for being so competitive. They all celebrated by eating the little girl's dish, made with her amazing discovery. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Jack. He loved ships and wanted one of his own. So one day, he went down to the beach with his dad. +He was so happy when he saw a big blue ship. His dad said they could have it if they finished building it. With a lot of hard work, the little boy and his dad finished the ship. Jack was so pleased. + +The day after, Jack took the ship out to sea. As soon as he started sailing, he saw some other boats with big green sails. He realized how envious the other boat captains were of his ship. + +He had such an amazing time sailing his boat around the bay. He saw all kinds of different things like dolphins and whales. + +Eventually, it was time for Jack and his dad to come back home. As he sailed back to shore, Jack was reminded of just how hard he and his dad had worked to finish their special ship and how much joy it had brought them. +Once upon a time there was a mother who loved to encourage her little girl. She was amazing! Every night she would hug and kiss her daughter and whisper in her ear, "be brave, sweetheart!" +The little girl never quite knew what it meant until one day her mother took her down to a big, scary river that ran near their house. The little girl was scared, but her mother encouraged her to take a few steps into the river. At first, it was shallow, so the little girl went a little farther. +Just then, a big wave crashed down on them, and the river got much deeper! The little girl was frightened, but her mother was there, encouraging her to keep swimming. With her mother's help, the little girl made it to the other side and the two of them hugged and laughed with relief. + +The little girl had been scared, but now she understood what her mother meant when she told her to be brave. She knew that no matter what happened, her mother would be there to encourage her. The little girl was so proud of her mother and the amazing encouragement she gave her. + +This happened every time the little girl faced a challenge—her mother was there, helping and encouraging her daughter to be brave and explore the world. The little girl learned that courage lies within and that she has the power to do incredible things. + +The story has a moral value: courage lies within and it can be found +John was walking in the park when he saw a machine. He went closer to see what it was. His Dad said it was a car, but John didn't believe him. + +Suddenly, a man appeared. He told John he was not allowed to go near the machine. + +John asked why not. The man said it was dangerous and his Dad wouldn't permit it. + +John was sad, but then he saw something disgusting on the ground. He forgot all about the machine and went to look at it. It was a wet, smelly fish! John screamed and ran quickly away. He decided that machines were too dangerous, and he would never go near one again. +Once upon a time there was a boy. He wanted a clean uniform to wear to school. Every day he asked his mom for one but she just said, "No". + +One day, the boy asked his mom again and this time she said, "Yes". She said she will supply him with a clean uniform. + +The boy was so happy. He went to bed dreaming of how he will look wearing a nice and clean uniform. + +The next morning, the boy woke up and ran to his mom. But she had no uniform for him. She only said, "No more clean uniform". + +The boy felt sad and confused. He felt angry at his mom for saying she will supply a clean uniform but not doing it. He couldn't understand why she had said yes if she didn't mean it. + +The boy was left with no clean uniform and his dream of wearing one was shattered. +One day, little Emma was playing with her dolls when she couldn’t find her favorite dress. She looked in her toy chest, but it wasn’t there. She asked her mom where it was. + +“I think you left it outside when you were playing with your friends yesterday,†said her mom. + +Emma went outside to look and, sure enough, she found her dress lying in the grass. It had been raining and her dress was very wet. + +“Oh no!†said Emma. “I was careless and left my clothes outside!†+ +Her mom put the dress in the washing machine and it soon was as good as new. + +From then on, Emma made sure to never be so careless with her clothes again. +Once upon a time, there was a player called Tim. He had a very special skill - he could tie very deep knots! One day, he was walking in the park when he saw a kite stuck up in a tree. + +"Oh no!" said Tim. "How can I get the kite down?" + +Just then, a little girl appeared with a sheep in her hands. She smiled at Tim and said, "I can help you! I can tie a very deep knot that will help you get the kite down. + +Tim thanked the girl. He watched as the little girl tied a deep knot with the sheep's wool around the kite's string. Tim gave the wool a gentle tug and the kite swooped gracefully down to the ground. + +The little girl smiled at Tim and said "Thank you for playing with me!" + +Tim smiled and said, "Thank you for your help. You tie an amazing knot!" The two then hugged and went on their separate ways. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a lion who loved to add. He would add stones he found on the ground, and then add more when his friends came to visit. + +One day he found a deep hole and noticed it had nothing in it. He thought to himself that he should add something, but he wasn't sure what. Suddenly, he remembered that his friends could help him, and asked them if they could add something special. + +One of his friends suggested he add some of his favourite stones. The lion agreed, and was so excited to see the hole filled with the special stones. + +The lion was happy to have added something meaningful to the hole. He learnt that sometimes it takes a little effort to add something special. +Jack liked to visit his grandma. Every day he would go to her house with his mommy. Jack's grandma was a very patient lady. She listened to Jack read stories and asked him questions about what he did at school. Jack loved to spend time with his grandma - it made his days very happy. + +One day, Jack and his mommy went to visit Grandma, but Grandma wasn't home. + +"Where is Grandma?" asked Jack. + +His mommy explained that Grandma was in the hospital. She was sick with a long illness and needed to stay there to get better. + +Jack was sad that Grandma wasn't home, but he was happy that the hospital could take care of her. He knew that soon she would be feeling much better. + +The next day, Jack's mommy told him that Grandma was feeling better and wanted to go home. Jack was so excited he couldn't wait to visit her again! He spent the whole day playing with his toys, imagining the stories Grandma would have when they met again. +There was once a brave little girl called Lucy. She was three years old, but she was very adventurous. + +One afternoon, Lucy was playing in her bedroom when she noticed something strange. She saw the curtain moving! + +She was scared at first, and her body began to tremble. But then she remembered that she was brave, so she decided to take a closer look. + +When she got closer, she could see that it was not the wind that was making the curtain move. It was a little mouse! It had found a hole in the wall, and was crawling through the flexible curtain. + +Lucy got down on her knees and looked at the mouse. She said, "hello mouse, don't be scared, I'm just curious to know how you got in here. Can you tell me?" + +The mouse stopped trembling and seemed to be quite relaxed. Lucy felt happy that the mouse trusted her. They talked for a bit, and then the mouse went on its way. + +Lucy was happy that she had been so brave, and she learned a valuable lesson that day: never be scared of something that looks a bit different. +Jeff and his mommy were walking to the park. They were going to have a picnic. As they walked, Jeff noticed a big bear. He wanted to test if the bear was friendly, so he ran towards it. + +Mommy shouted "No, Jeff! That bear might not be friendly." + +Jeff shouted back, "It’s ok, mommy! I’ll give it some yummy food." He waved his lunchbag in the air and took a step closer. + +The bear growled and ran towards Jeff. Jeff screamed and tried to run back, but the bear chased him faster. + +Mommy threw her lunchbag of food at the bear, but it didn’t work. The bear held Jeff tight and took a bite out of his arm. Jeff screamed again. + +Mommy rushed to Jeff and cried. Jeff wouldn’t understand what had happened, he just felt sad and cried in his mommy’s arms. + +The bad test that day ended with Jeff needing to go to the hospital. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends called Lucy and Jack. They were so excited to play together! + +They decided to play a spinning game. Jack took out a big red gum and handed it to Lucy. She smiled and put it on the floor. + +Jack said, "Let's spin it together, okay?". Lucy nodded with a giggle and replied, "Yeah, let's spin". + +They placed their hands on the gum and spun it around and around. Lucy laughed in excitement as the gum spun faster and faster. They spun the gum until it stopped and both of them collapsed on the floor, exhausted but happy. + +At the end of the day, Jack and Lucy had lots of fun spinning the gum together. They hugged goodbye and promised to have more spinning games together. +Once upon a time, there was a little bug. He was very tiny and loved to fly. One day, he was buzzing around in a meadow, when he came across a big, loud bird. The bird got angry and wanted to bite the little bug. The bug was scared and thought the bird would hurt him, so he flew away as fast as his tiny wings would let him. He flew to safety. + +After that, the little bug realised that being brave wasn't always the best plan. Even if it means missing out on fun things, it's better to stay out of trouble! + +The little bug was so much wiser for his experience, and he was glad he didn't risk getting bitten by that loud bird. From then on, he was always careful and stayed away from danger. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to be cautious and avoid dangerous situations. Even if it means missing out on fun activities, staying safe is much more important! +Once upon a time, there was a big black crow. He was sitting on a tree near a little farmhouse. One day, the crow saw a paper fall from the sky. He flew down to check it out. When the crow picked up the paper, he saw that it had some strange black markings on it. + +The crow was curious, so he flew over to the farmhouse and peered in the window. Inside the farmhouse, a little girl was looking at the paper and asking questions about it. The crow realised that she must have dropped the paper. + +The crow wanted the paper, so he flew off and found a box. He put the paper inside and flew away with it in his beak. However, the little girl had seen the crow fly away and she followed him outside. She saw the crow fly away, carrying the paper in his beak. + +The little girl started to cry and yelled at the crow, but he was too far away to hear her. Her family came running outside and they were angry. They could not get the paper back and they were very sad. The little girl knew that it was bad to take things without asking, so she felt very guilty. + +The crow kept flying with the paper in his beak, not knowing the pain he had caused. He will never understand the power that his actions have. The little girl never got the paper back and she will never understand what was written on +Once upon a time, there were two friends named Jack and Jill who were always together. One day, they went outside to explore the world. As they were looking around, Jill saw a pen lying on the ground. She ran up to it and said “Look, Jack!†Jack smiled and said “It looks like a regular pen, but I don't know how to balance it.†+ +Jill thought for a moment and then said, “There must be a way to balance it. Let’s try something.†They each went to opposite sides and tried balancing the pen back and forth. After a few tries, they finally managed to balance it! + +Jack was so excited and said “We did it! We balanced the pen!†Jill cheered and said “Yes, we did! Now let's try balancing something bigger!†+ +They both laughed and went off to find something new to balance and have even more fun. +Jack was a small rat looking for something to do. He had seen other rats running around, finding and eating food, and he wanted to do the same. He was an envious rat, but he stayed positive. + +One day, Jack saw something special in the distance. He excitedly hopped closer to find that it was a box with a puzzle in it. He knew just the thing to solve it! He used his small paws to fiddle and push pieces, and eventually the puzzle was done! + +Jack felt so proud, and the other rats could see it too. They felt envious of his success and tried to figure out the puzzle for themselves. But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't solve it like Jack did. + +Jack was so pleased with his work that he let out a happy squeak. He had done it - he had solved the puzzle! Now the other rats had something to look up to and he was proud to show them what he had done. +Once upon a time, there was a little bird named Jack. Jack was very happy and loved exploring the world. One day, Jack decided to fly up high and explore. + +Jack flew up to the sky and saw a very big tree. He began to fly towards the tree when he felt something wet on his wings. It was raining! Jack quickly flew down the tree and settled on a branch. + +Just then, Jack saw a delicious treat underneath the tree. It was a big apple! Jack flew down to get the apple but he was too late. The apple fell down to the ground. + +Jack settled down on the grass. He was disappointed that he didn't get the apple, but he soon forgot about it because he saw a delicious berry bush next to him. Jack smiled as he settled down and ate the yummy berries. That night, Jack was so full and happy with his delicious snack. +Once upon a time, there was a family that loved listening to music. Every day, the mom, dad and the baby would dance and sing. + +One day, the baby started to complain. "I don't like the music," she said. "It's disgusting." + +The mom and dad were surprised. They asked the little girl, "Why don't you like it? We always have such a good time when we dance and sing." + +The baby shook her head and frowned. "I don't like the music," she said again. "It's too noisy and it doesn't sound good." + +The mom and dad smiled. They knew how to make the baby happy. "Alright," the dad said. "Let's listen to something else. How about a story instead?" + +The baby smiled and clapped her hands. She loved listening to stories. So they turned off the music and got ready to listen to a story instead. + +The end! +One morning, Sam and his mom walked through a big, black field. They were on their way to visit Sam's grandpa. + +Suddenly, Sam saw something shiny! He reached out to grab it. + +''No, Sam!'' His mom said. ''It's probably not a good idea to touch things you find in the field.'' + +But Sam insisted, ''Please, Mom! Can I bring it with me?'' + +''Okay,'' Mom said, ''But be careful.'' + +Sam was so excited he ran to get his new treasure. He was almost done when he heard a loud noise! To his surprise, a big, black dog was standing behind him! + +Sam was scared, but the dog just wanted to play. Sam and the dog started running around the field together. Sam suddenly remembered why he was there! + +''Oh no!'' He said. ''I have to go and visit Grandpa! I'll have to bring the dog with me!'' + +Sam's mom smiled and agreed. So they all walked to Grandpa's house. When they arrived, the dog made a new friend and Sam's grandpa had a new companion! +One day, a blue deer and his best friend were walking near a lake. + +The deer said, "I'm going to dive in the lake!" + +His friend asked, "But why? You don't even know what's in the lake!" + +The blue deer answered, "I just have a feeling something exciting is waiting for me in the lake!" + +The deer's friend shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll watch you dive!" + +The deer took a deep breath, and leaped into the lake. He swam around, and soon he saw something shiny and sparkly. He caught it and brought it back up to the surface. + +He showed his friend the big, sparkly diamond he had found. His friend was amazed and said, "You were right, something exciting was waiting for you in the lake!" + +The blue deer smiled, happy that he had taken the leap and dived into the lake. +Once upon a time, there was a small girl named Sarah who wanted to be like all the other kids in her class. Every day, she would look around, see everyone else's different clothes, and wish she could be like them, too. + +One day, Sarah heard about a special sale at the store for all the different clothes. She begged her mom to take her and buy something for her. When they got there, Sarah fell in love with a pink dress and she knew it had to be hers. + +When Sarah tried on the dress, she was so happy! But when she went to show her mom that she was wearing it, her mom said, "No, Sarah. You don't need a dress like that. It's too different. We should pick something else." + +Sarah was so sad, but she knew she had to learn to value what she already had. In the end, Sarah and her mom picked out something simple, but special in its own way. + +Ever since that day, Sarah learned how to value the things she already had in her life, and be happy with them, instead of always wanting something "different." + +Moral: Value what you already have in your life and don't always go looking for something different. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Lucy. She had a beautiful coat which was always very warm. + +Whenever she put it on, it made her feel so snug and nice. She'd often set it next to her chair at home and look forward to wearing it again. + +One day, it was cold outside, so Lucy asked her mom for her warm coat. + +"Yes of course, Lucy," said her mom.

She was so happy to be wearing her favorite coat! +Mama and Jack were working together on the porch. They were building something special. Ideas were flowing and Jack was so excited. + +Mama showed Jack how he needed to be dependable.

That part was very special and Mama got angry. + +Mama told Jack he needed to be more dependable and that he couldn't make mistakes like that ever again. Jack knew she was right, he had to be more careful. He knew he needed to make dependable decisions if he wanted to finish their project. + +Jack heard Mama's words and vowed to be more reliable.

Mama was so happy with what they made together and finally they were able to finish their project on the porch. +Once upon a time there was a girl named Lucy. She was three years old and loved to work hard. Every day, she would do chores for her parents like clean up her toys and help them with the cooking. + +One day Lucy went to the park with her parents.

Finally, after a lot of hard work, she thought she saw something coming out of it. She was so excited she asked her parents to come and look. + +"Wow! It's beautiful," her parents said, but when Lucy touched the rock, nothing happened. She was so disappointed. No matter how much she worked on the rock, nothing good came from it. Her parents sadly told her that there wasn't a good result this time. + +Weirdly, when Lucy went to bed that night, the rock suddenly started to glow. Lucy thought she had done it but the next morning, the rock was back to normal. Lucy was so upset and confused. She stopped working so hard on that weird rock. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Mia. One day Mia went to a festival with her family.

She believed that something wonderful was happening and it was all because of the Purple Festival. +Once upon a time there was a playful shrimp. She wanted to explore the world and find new friends. + +The shrimp hopped around the ocean and soon found a cozy spot to settle. She liked it right away and decided this was going to be her home. + +The next day, she slowly meandered into a nearby coral forest. She saw something moving in the distance. It was a little orange fish! + +The shrimp swam up to him and shouted “Hi! I just settled here and I was wondering if you wanted to be my friend?†+ +The fish replied “Yes, I would love to be your friend! Let’s go explore this place together.†+ +So they went on an adventure and had a lot of fun. The playful shrimp and the little orange fish were the best of friends and they stayed that way for the rest of their lives. +Once there was a big frog. He liked to move around in the pond. One day, he saw a big eye looking at him through the water. He hopped closer so he could see. It was a big fish! He was so excited, he decided to move closer so he could say hello. He moved quickly, but the fish had already gone. He looked around to find the big eye, but the fish had gone. So he hopped around and around, looking for the fish with the big eye. +Once upon a time, there was a wide town. In the town there lived a special family.

I'm twirling in my blouse so the colours can look nice in the sun!" + +The robin just looked at her and said, "Why are you so selfish? I don't have a blouse at all!" + +Mary looked sad and said, "I don't know why I'm so selfish. I just want to look nice with my blouse." + +The robin said, "You don't need to do that, Mary.
